No doubt other and less gratifying reasons contributed to the same result, but the result has been obtained. It seems a curious thing, but it is no less true than curious, that men have n © sooner gained a triumph of any sort, than some art. org the number of the triumphant develop a most earnest longing to carry that triumph beyond its legitimate limit? It is impossible to deny the old proverb, that there are nurril whom if you give an inch they will demand an ell. This misfortune, for in the first place, however wise and good the giving uf the inch may be, many will oppose the giving of it be- cause of the inordinate demands that are sure to follow its con- cession. The most stubborn opponents of any change have thereby an excuse for their stubbornness. They can point to numerous instances in which, where a change for the better has been effected, it has been followed by a demand for another and a farther change, which would be merely change for change sake, and not a few cases where the same demand has been made, though the change was not only without neces- sity, but could nut be made without mischief. Of this last class is that of the demand for the allowance of vivisection. To prohibit by the most stringent laws, or even to render very difficult, the acquirement of dead bodies for dissection wa3 a serious mistake. To compel men of science to be- come the abettors and employers of brutish law breakers was a mistake of a still more serious sort, and the blundering at last led to the worst results. It at first prevented the growth of science, and at last led to murder. Well, ali this evil has been got rid of, and now there is an attempt to go to the opposite extreme. It is true that human life is not at present endangered, and the pre- tence for vivisection is that the object really is to increase the facilities for preserving human life, for which end the torture of poor defenceless brutes is to be indulged in. How absurd is this pretence may ke shown by many things— but one is sufficient. Living animals are dissected because it is said the science of sur- gery will be improved. See the proof. A living horse has had its hoof removed by the knife. Can the most ingenious of his torturers explain in what way this brutality could benefit the curative art? In what way could the removal of a living horse's hoof benefit a surgeon in operating upon a man? And as to a horse the pretence is impudently ridiculous; ahorse that had lost its hoof would be worth nothing— and as a matter of huma- nity it ought to be, and as a matter of economy it would be, killed. In no way whatever can the dissection of healthy living ani- mals serve to improve surgical knowledge If a living animal was suffering from a disease of a kind to which men were also subject, the cure of that disease by the knife might properly be attempted upon the. animal, in order to ascertain whether that mode of cure could also be attempted with safety upon a man. But this is not vivisection, nor any justification for that practice; and th- re is now less excuse than ever for vivisection, even as a preparation for surgical operations on the living man. for the use of obloroform hs. s been resorted to expressly for the purpose ( and in ::: ? t CA'-'- S successfully) of making the living man so resemble a corpx; thst an operation upon him shall be performed almost as free from the anguish, the shuddering, and the cries of the patient as if he was ; n fact a dead body.

Charles Oakley again vlctriousat York, winning the Ebor Handicap ( the only race he auvised upon for York meeting) in the commonest of cauters with his especial choice, Golden Pledge. Many of his sub- i O R D— The' Remt> is dMnnalifled sor ters, he has already the graduation of knowing, have realised good for not goingX course ffi the stakes. O. Oakley only hopes all his subscribers and friends have won rst If fftlc m? i entitled handsomely; certa'nly they had an opportunity of getting well on, as a ! ti. tL-^ VJ entitled fair remunerative price was always to be obtained about his clipper, the i \ y TT ' R_ TU'Whiffler nald forfeit gallant Golden Pledge, who won easily, as C. Oakley pronounced he £ o' Jr- T^ re was ™ ? Ued i3ce woula. With respect to the great Doncaster event, which is now ap- • • • - - "-°- nxe- a Pnce' proaetiiBg with " giant" 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 ail 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 particularly 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 : ts strong as a lion, and will come to the post fit to run for a kingdom, and 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 Xnows 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. Oakley's success year after year, in predicting the winners of the various Important events is now so well known throughout the length and breadth of the land, through the medium of thia valuable journal, thit it requires no idle puff on his ptrt. Thousands can and would testify to the value of C. Oakley's advice. To all who want to make money on the Turf, he would impress on them the absolute necessity of having sound and re- liable information ; for it may be truly asserted that without the assist- ance of ail experienced, competent, and successful adviser, who is in a position to quickly learn the result of trials, if horses are doing good work, if the right money is going on, Ac ( very important points), it is impossible to win handsomely. It is an acknowledged fact that, for backers to follow the betting alone, without proper advice, and con- stantly Investing on a lot of horses at short prices, as many do, would ruin any man. Such a system, it pursued, must lead to heavy loss and disappointmont. O. 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. ^ TOTICE— C. OAKLEY begs respectfully to - L1 state that he will issue no advice on the Cesarewitch until 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 year with his especial choice. Hartington, positively sent hia subscribers at 66 to 1 as soon as the weights appeared. C.

HER MAJESTY'S EMBARKATION AT WOOLWICH.— An order has been received by the authorities of Woolwich Arsenal in re- beat ference to the instructions which were put in force on the late embarkation of Her Majesty and the roj al family from the Ar- ' senal pier for Germany. It requested a correct copy to be trans- mitted to the War Office of the memorandum which was put in • MTcn- oTT kv- onrra ' « r< nllati° n either separately or conjointly by the heads of depart- MioOLLLANEODS. merits n the occasion. It appears doubtful whether the Queen Legal questions are not aiiswered ' will return to England by way of Woolwich, or whether the royal hvn, yacht will proceed direct to Osborne. The temporary fittings which were erected for the adornment of the pier are, however, ordered to be retained in their place until further orders. The windows alo:- g the line of thoroughfare in the offices and factories which were obscured with a coating of whitewash are still in the same state, but it is stated that should Her Majesty disembark at Wooiwi'h the regulations regarding visitors will be altogether different from those issued on her departure. We understand that the assumption of power on the part of the officials has been severely censured by the War Department, and the subject is still ui. der official iuveetigation. Some time before the arrival of the ro\ a! family a telegram from the War Department had cancelled the local order excluding all persons from the place of embarka- tion. Many of the clerks and others whose offices had been closed from the outside were then informed that they were at liberty to approach the pier, of which a few took advantage, but as each constable on the beat had been supplied with a written order, and had been directed to observe his instructions to the letter, much confusion ensued.

Of course the princess did not dance, but the prince and the Count de Flanders entered spiritedly into the affair. On Sunday the prince and princess, with the Hon Mrs Cone and Major Tees- dale, were, as usuil, at Crathie Church. The Rev Mr Anderson officiated, and the little church was quite full— a great number of strangers being present. On Wednesday last their royal high- nesses paid a visit to Mar Lodge, the Earl of Fife's seat. The Ban!/ shire Journal, in anticipation of the royal visit, says:— Prom the time it was known that their Royal Highnesses, the Prince and Princess of Wales were to honour Mar Lodge with a visit, the Earl and Countess of Fife have been untiring in their exertions to provide for their receptfon. Braemar is, of course, merely a shoot- ing lodge, but every endeavour has been made in fitting up the suite of rooms appropriated to the prince and princess to render them as simple and as elegant as time and space will permit. On Thursday their royal highnesses will drive direct to Old Mar Lodge, which they will reach a few minutes after three, after which the games will immediately commence. There will be a grand torchlight ball on Friday evening, which must be a no- velty to their royal highnesses, the only one of the kind ever given in Scotland being one given by the earl and countess at Mar Lodge in 1851, on the occasion of the visit of the Queen and Prince Consort. Nearly all the aristocracy now in the Highlands have received invitations to have the honour of meeting the prince and princess.'' DEATH FROM EXCITEMENT DURING THE STORM.— On Tues- day evening, Aug 25. the death of Miss Emily Thibault, aged 18 years, occurred at her father's residence, Mandeville- terrace, Kil- burn, under melancholy circumstances. It appears that the un- fortunate young lady was easily excited, and was always alarmed at thunder lightning. She was' left at home apparently in good health, but while she was occupied in washing some lace by the window during the violent storm which passed over the metro- polis, she became seriously alarmed, fearing something would happen to her, and suddenly fell backward and expired. HUMOURED DESTRUCTION OF THE FEDERAL STEAMSHIP VANDURBILT.— Upon the departure of the Royal Mail steamship Shannon from 8t Thomas, a rumour had reached that place that the Alabama had engaged and sunk the Federal war steamer Vanderbilt off Havannah. The report, however, required con- firmation. WEST INBIA MAIL.— Bv the arrival of the Shannon, we have news from the West Indie's to the middle of July.

It is said that the Archduke Maximilian is willing to accept the situation of Emperor of Mexico, but that the Emperor cf Austria is opposed thereto, and says that the Archduke must not count on brother accepting the post offered him. To say that Austria could render no assistance to the Sovereign of Mexico is simply to state what is a mere truism. A mere military monarchy in the centre of Europe must be powerless as to Mexican affairs. It needs all its soldiers to maintain its own authority at home. The thing is self- evident, and does not need the solemn assurance of an Austrian Em- peror to obtain credence for it. Well, then, will the Archduke ac- cept the Mexican Crown ? Some say that he is not at all disin- clined thereto, while others assert that he has asked the advice of his sagacious relative the King of the Belgians, and that, as a re- sult ofit, he will consent to accept on certain conditions which - , „ can never be agreed to, and therefore, in fact, he will render his i weather. A trench frigate, the Montezuma, was lost in July off acceptance impossible. A more frank course would be to declinethe bar of Goatsyaeoalcos. Crew saved. at once.

The unanimity with which the displacement of Sir James Hudson is condemned must be highly ilattering to that very dis- nearly a year of delay, the offices intimated that they disputed all the policies on the ground of fraud and arson. The Sun company have pleaded that the claim is fraudulent, and that the fire was caused by the " wilful act, means, and contrivance of the plaintiff." The only inmates of the house at the time of the fire were Mr Woolley and his valet, Crozier, who slept in adjoining rooms, and a person named Temple, a carpenter, who had been employed some years on the premises, and who, with liis wife and son, a youth of about 15, slept in another part of the house. The other usual inmatesof the house, Miss Coape, the sister- in- law of Mr Wolley, and her brother, Captain Coape, were in a house he tinguished diplomatist. It ought to be very discomfiting to thet, ad taken at Brighton. He had gone down there with them and the servants in > . vetnber, 1861. He had come up once or twice in person who is thrust into his place, and to be absolutely destruc- tive to the pertinacious jobber who has displaced him. The Saturday Review takes a very proper view of this subject, but makes one mistake. It supposes that if Parliament was sitting the mischief would be without remedy. Not so. It may be per- fectly true that no amount of parliamentary censure would stop December, January, and February, and he came up on 3d March with Crozier, and remained with him in the house, engaged a good deal in varnishing the old oak panelling and carving, & c, up to the night of Saturday, the 22d of March. Early on the morning of Saturday, the 23d, the fire was discovered some time between three and four o'clock. The exact time appears to be in dispute. Lord Russell in his career of folly and injustice, but the precedent ! The fact which is not in dispute is that, although the night was in which Lord Russell, being then out of office, took part, in pre- ] yet ancl ramy% the fire burnt with such fury and rapidity that the venting Lord Londonderry from going as ambassador to Russia, 1J ~ *"""•" j--.- j mi might be advantageously followed here ; and in default of a de- bate in the house producing a creditable resignation, there might be a motion to introduce a bill declaring that the ministry to Turin should be without salary, a proceeding that could not " fail of producing an early and satisfactory result. The pretence that Sir Jaines Hudson desired to resign makes the matter worse. It is the old tale of adding insult to injury. Torment a man till you force him to say that he wishes all busi- ness between you and him to cease, and then charge him with the desire to desert the work in which both of you had, up to that time, been engaged. This seems to have been the scheme that has been pursued with respect to Sir James Hudson, and is now put forward as the excuse for his removal. It is doubly an injustice and an insult; it is so to the man and to the country. house and contents were soon totally destroyed. The earliest ac- counts published of the matter were those which appeared next morning in 17ie Times, and that which appeared at the end of the week in the West London Observer, a respectable local paper, edited by Mr Thompson, a printer. Neither of these, of course, would be of any importance in a legal inquire- v, ot for the fact that the latter purports to have been found-' T^ on particular derived from Mr Woolley, and alludes to the statement v the morning newspapers. It is impossible for us to give even ^" N an outline of the case, or a word of the evidence. The companies allege that a great portion of the furniture had been removed, that paper had been hungup round the various rooms to assist combustion, that varnish had been freely applied t- o the woodwork for like purposes; that, although the fire did i not break out until three in the morning, Mr Woolley and his Nor is the evil rendered less to the country by the rumours1 butler had not been to bed, but appeared in their day shirts; and attempted to be spread abroad that other appointments hadthat. finally, there were many circumstances so very suspicious as been offered to him and had been refused by him. In , to leive no doubt that the fire was not accidental. Mr Woolley none other could he have done such real service as hewas examined and cross- examined at great length, as was his did at Turin, ne was there " the right man in the rightbutler Crozier, and both not only denied all knowledge of the place," and therefore ( there is no shirking the sequence) origin of the hre, but explained away many of the suspicious cir- Lord Eussell desired to remove him. To what place would cumstances m an apparently satisfactory manner. Mr Woolley he have sent Sir James Hudson? To Vienna? Why there ! was cross- examined as to his origin, and it was sought, and with he would have been thwarted and annoyed with a never- failing1 soine success, to show that he had run through all the money he bitterness and pertinacity. He was the real friend of Italy— therefore he would have been without the smallest influence' at Vienna. To send him there was a scheme worthy of Lord Russell; it would have reduced English influence at'Vienna to zero. Was he to be sent to Constantinople? That has been hinted at The act would have been only one degree less unwise than sending him to Vienna. But it would have been infinitely unjust. Still it is very possible that the scheme was entertained, for there was " a real Eussell ad- mixture of folly and injustice in it. Sir Jaines Hudson, a master in Italian politics, and a man knowing all the Italians, and by them all revered and loved, would have gone to Constantinople comparatively unacquainted with its had, and w as without means at the time of the fire. It seemed he had been in an humble rank of life, had acted at theatres, and as a kind of assistant at an hotel, but had married a Miss Coape, pos- sessed of some £: ''. 000, the whole of which had been expended on the furnishing arid decorating of Campden House. Mrs Woolley was accidentally drowned some time back, and since that time Mr Woolley had kept up the house with the assistance of a Cap- tain and a' Miss Coape, a brother and sister of his late wife, to both of whom he owed money, and it appeared to be relied on as part of the defence of the companies that the money sought to be recovered would enable him to clear off his debts. The defence is likely to last many days, and there are a great number of witnesses. MADAMK TUSSAUD'S.— The proprietor has enriched his valu- politics, and utterly unacquainted with its statesmen.' Here! able collection of historical figures by one of General M'Clellan, would have been the folly of taking him from ItalyT and sending him to Turkej'. The injustice of it would have been this— that the present ambassador in Turkey has most admirably discharged his duties, and has become a diplomatist of the highest influence there. He is esteemed as a real friend of Turkey, and, like Sir James Hudson in Italy, has won for Eng- land and its policy the esteem and confidence of the Turks. To displace such a man, under such circumstances, would be an in- justice as well as a folly. It is highly probable, therefore, that the rumor is not without foundation. But an Elliott would not have been sent there. Turkey is not so agreeable as Italy, especially for a man of fashionable belongings; so, no doubt, the who is placed in the same group with President Lincoln. The general is in the undress military uniform of an officer of his rank, and appears from the effigy, which is understood to have been modelled from life in New York, to be a man in the prime of life, with a physiognomy denoting intellect and a habit of observation. The bust is admirably modelled, and is by an artist whose labours have advanced the art of modelling to a very high state of perfection. The accession of this effigy to the collection has been wanted for some time, but the difficulty of procuring^ genuine portrait was very great. It has now been Burmounted, and the curious in historical illustration will be greatly gratified by inspection. 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, AUGUST 16, 1863. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. nEurope, a journal published at Frankfort, says :—" For some days considerable astonishment has been evinced that the Consul- General of the United States at Frankfort should have hoisted the Mexican flag side by side with the American flag. This innova- tion might have been an excess s? f personal zeal on the part ef the Consul- General; nevertheless, it has given rise to various sur- mises. We are now informed that already some months since M Juarez, the President of the Mexican Republic, had written to the Cabinet of Washington, and asked if it would have any ob- jection to Mexico being represented abroad by the agents of the United States in case the legal authority should be temporarily upset in Mexico. The Washington Cabinet sent an immediate reply to the request of Mexico. In a despatch, which bears the date of last March, Mr Seward informed the agents of the United Btates that they would doub Jess have to represent the Mexican Republic in foreign countries if Mexico should fall into the hands of foreigners. It is, moreover, very explicitly stated in that despatch that under no circumstances would the United States tolerate the introduction into Mexico of any other form of govern- ment than the republic." On the other hand, it is asserted that the French Government has asked for explanations about the American consuls setting up to act for Mexico. It is an import- ant, if not a significant fact, that there is now lying in the har- bour of Brest a Confederate ship of war, the Atalanta, which has arrived there for the purpose of repairing damages. During the last elections the Courrier uf St Etienne got into trouble for having spoken ill of the mayor of the town. Proceedings were com- menced. The journal, before the court of its own town, was de- fended by M Ernest Picard, member for Paris, and acquitted. The Minister of Justice ordered another trial, and laid the venne at Lyons. At Lyons, on account of ill- health, M Picard could not defend the Courrier, and the extreme sentence of the law was passed upon the unlucky sheet. It has been suppressed. The proprietor of the paper lias been condemned to one month's im- vrrisonment, and the editor to fifteen days, and both have been V ed. ITALY. The Stampa publishes an article upon the new law for the suppression of brigandage, and regrets that certain spe- cial conditions connected with public safety have compelled the Government to declare eleven provinces infested by brigandage, although all of them are not equally agitated. The Stampa far- ther points out the advantage which may be expected from the voluntary enlistment of riflemen. It concludes by saying:—" The political character of brigandage has almost disappeared, and would disappear entirely if Francis II. were driven from Rome, if Italy recovered her capital, and confided in the efficiency of the new measures.'' Garibaldi's health is perfectly restored. " Rome,'' says the correspondent of the Siecle, " is just now occu- pied with a piece of scandal, of which Monsignor Borromeo, major domo of the Pope, is the cause. Monsignor Borromeo has been suddenly deprived of his office and expelled the Vatican, in consequence of some circumstances, the publication of which, it is said, no doubt calumniously, would make St Charles Borromeo, the patron and protector of the family, blush." A most interest- ing report, made by the parliamentary commission appointed to inquire into the matter of brigandage in Italy, has just appeared. The result seems to be that want of means of living is at the bot- tom of the mischief, and that political adroitness has of late merely employed for its own purposes an evil which had its origin in bad government, and will best be cured by industrial im- provement. GERMANY. The following is the text of the invitation to attend the Congress addressed to the King of Prussia by the German Sovereigns :— " The Princes assembled here at the invitation of the Emperor of Austria have perceived the absence of your Majesty with regret. We have found a suitable basis upon which to found our delibe- rations in the propositions put forward by theEmperorof Austria, and conformably to the Federal constitution shall in any case submit the result of those deliberations to the sanction of your Majesty. But, we cherish a fervent hope that your Majesty, who is called upon to take so large a part in the result of our efforts, will also deign to share in our endeavours to bring to a favourable termination the grand work of which you have yourself acknow- ledged the necessity. We therefore address to your Majesty our earnest request that you will be pleased to join us. The King of Baxony has undertaken to hand to your Majesty this letter, in the name of us all, and at the same time to be the interpreter of our desires." The answer of the King of Prussia, dated the 20th Aug, has been published. The King repeats the refusal he had already fiven on the 4th iust, observing that he feels it the more incum- ent upon him to do so from not having yet received any official communication of the propositions. His Majesty states that, it would be impossible to participate in the deliberations of the Con- gress without entering into binding engagements, which he could not do without consulting his advisers. Every communica- tion, however, made to His Majesty by his Federal allies will be readily and carefully taken into consideration. A despatch of Herr von Bismarck to Herr von Sydow, the Prussian representative at Frankfort, has been pub- lished. It concludes as follows :—" For the present I must de- clare the Austrian project of Federal reform according to our opinions, neither adequate to the actual position of the Prussian monarchy nor to the just interests of the German people. Were Prussia to accept the propositions, she would renounce the posi- tion her power and history have created for her in the family of European 6tates. She would run the risk of devoting the strength of the country to ends foreign to its interests, and over whose employment we should not have that degree of influence and control we are justly entitled to claim." The Committee of the Assembly of Popular Delegates have communicated the reso- lutions passed by the assembly on the German question to the princes present in this city, to the representatives of the Free Towns and to the foreign ministers. It has also been resolved that in the event of it happening in the sittings of the Directorate that there should be the same number of voles for and against any proposition, the vote shall be in favour of the proposition supported by the states which have the greater number of in- habitants. POLAND. Intelligence has been received from Wilna that General Mou" ravieff has hung, without trial, two brothers, Joseph and Alex" ander Bewkowski, suspected of participation in the attempt to assassinate M Domejko, the marshal of the Lithuanian nobility. The Coumer du Dimanche believes itself able to guarantee that the notes of the three powers contain an identical conclusion, couched in the following terms :—" One imperious duty new remains to be fulfilled by the Government. This is to call the most serious attention of Prince Gortschakoff to the gravity of the situation, and the responsibility it imposes upon Russia. Austria, France, and England have pointed out the urgency of putting an end to a deplorable condition of affairs, filled with peril to Europe. They have indicated the means which it ap- Sears to them their duty to be employed to attain this end. If ; ussia does not do all that depends upon her to realise the mode- rate and conciliatory intentions of the three powers— if she does not enter upon the course indicated by their friendly counsels— she will become responsible for the serious consequences which the prolongation of disorder in Poland may bring about." A convoy of 47 condemned persons has been transported to Siberia. The engineer Zegliiiski was hanged at Gledamek. The pretext for his execution is unknown. Officials with strong military escorts are to traverse the kingdom of Poland, to collect the taxes and sequestrate the estates of those who refuse payment. Jablonski and Sipowicz were hanged at Wilna. Cavalry engage- ments of Taczanowski's corps, favourable t<? the insurgent?- took place at Kutno, and at Poddembica. Nine leagues irorn Bialy- stok, at the village of Dzika, two peasant spies have been hanged by the insugents for having denounced persons to the Russians. As they had been placed under the protection of the village police, who did not feel disposed to lav down their lives in defence of the two spies, the entire village was burnt by order of General Moura- vieff. AH the effects of the inhabitants were sold for the most trivial prices, and the entire population— men, women, and chil- dren— numbering altogether 1,000, was sent off to Siberia. The two- fold object was thus attained of relieving Poland from insur- gents and of colonising Siberia. The manner in which the Rus- sians endeavour to conceal their losses is shown by the following occurrence:— The Russians bore their dead, whom they bad carried with them upon waggons, into a small cabin by the road- side, and burnt the place with all it contained. General Moura- vieff is endeavouring to compel the peasants to sign addresses of loyalty to the Emperor. Five peasants have been hanged in the district of Mariapol, many were arrested, and thirty conducted to Wilna to sign the address. RUSSIA- The Fins have sent a deputation to St Petersburg, demanding a constitution for Finland and a separate Finnish array. A rumour circulated on the Paris Bourse of the assassination of General Mouravieff is noticed by the Pays, but the statement wants confirmation. Russian journals assert that the Russian people are indignant at the interference of the Western Powers in the matter of Poland. As if there was such an entity as " the Russian people " daring or capable enough to have an " opinion'' about anything. THE PRINCIPALITIES. Holland has demanded of Prince Couza a modification in the Roumain flag on account of its resemblance to her own. Prince Couza has seized on the revenues of most of the Greek convents. Redress has been demanded, but he looks on himself as backed by the Czar, and so refuses it. TURKEY. Advices from Constantinople contain the following:— A mo- dification has just taken place in the Ottoman Ministry. The Sultan, while preserving the title of Seraskier to Fuad Pasha, who held those functions as well as those of Grand Vizier, has ap- pointed Hussein Pasha, ex- Director of the Military School, to the post of Minister of War. He has been raised to the rank of.. Muchir, and becomes Caimakan, or substitute to the Seraskier Hussein Pasha is a prudent and intelligent man, and his appoint- ment has been generally approved of. Halil Pasha, on leaving the Ministry of War, remains Grand Master of the Artillery, and Hadji- Emm Pasha, Grand Marshal, has been replaced in his functions of Minister of the Sultan's Household, by Hassi Bey. Those different changes we considered as favourable to the in- fluence of the Grand Vizier. CANADA. The Canadian Parliament is getting interested about self- defences. Mr D'Arcy Macgee has addressed a letter to the Montreal Gazette, stating that the Federal Government has erected a new fort at Rouse's Point, 45 miles from Montreal, with magazines capable of containing supplies for 100,000 men, also barrack accommodation for a permanent garrison of 500 men. The plan contemplated at Washington for an invasion of Canada is to inarch 100,000 men up the district of Montreal, to cut the connection between Upper and Lower Canada, to abstain from meddling in local affairs, but to force the separation of the Upper and Lower Provinces by the mere force of the army of occupation interposing its military bar- rier to their intercourse. What would follow such a separation has not escaped the calculation of the Federal Government. Mr Macgee urges the appointment of a Crown Prince for Canada, adopting other means for her closer connection with England, otherwise in the day of need England will only give nominal assistance. AMERICA. The Judge Advocate General has furnished the Governor of New York with a report upon the conscription and enrolment showing that twelve districts which have voted the Democratic ticket are required to furnish more conscripts than sixteen Re- . publican districts polling double the number of votes. The report , v, gays:— It a partisan enrolment designed to take out of the kiffi " city the greater part of the democratic majority, and as far as the v draft has proceeded the names drawn were mainly Democratic. This fraud was certainly perpetrated without the knowledge of the President and the Provost Marshal. It has been rumoured that General Meade has resigned his command. It is not un- likely. The Washington Government seems to seek poor gene- rals, and to delight in getting rid of any one who shows any capaoity. MEXICO. The Patrie states that the last steamer brought a protest from the Washington Cabinet relative to late political events in Mexico. It was thought the American Minister would lay the communication this week before M Drouyn de Lhuys. It is stated that the Government of the North bases its protest upon the Monroe doctrine, and would consider the establish- ment of an empire in Mexico by French influence as a me- nace to American independence and encouragement given to the South. The Patrie adds that letters from New York attribute this step of Mr Lincoln to the advice of the English and Russian Ministers at Washington. This statement is denied by La trance. JAPAN- HONG KONG, JULY 12.— Shortly after the departure of las41 mail the American steamer Pembroke arrived at Shanghai, hav- ing had a narrow escape from being taken by two Japanese armed vessels ( one a steamer), which attacked her during the night when at anchor in the Inland Sea. On the 20th of June Colonel Neale announced to the British consul at Yokohama, for public information, that the Japanese Government had solemnly and unreservedly entered into a written engagement to pay the pecu- niary demands at short specified intervals, but that they had " flagrantly, unequivocally, and designedly broken faith." In consequence, he had placed the solution of affairs in the hands of Admiral Kuper. The admiral then announced on the 21st that, unless forced by any initiative aot of hostility on the part of the Japanese, he should aot take any hostile steps for eight days, go as to allow the community sufficient time to make arrangement for their personal security. By a later arrival it appears that the Tycoon's ministers then becoming alarmed, applied, through the French admiral, for permission to pay the full indemnity de- manded, and it was accordingly received on the 24th of June. The payment was accompanied by the absurd demand ( apparently to keep up appearances at Miako) that all foreign consuls should leave, it being the order of the Mikado that all foreigners should quit the country. Admiral Kuper had declared his intention to defend Yokohama, if attacked, and such, it is said, has been the intention throughout of the French admiral. French troops were being despatched there from Shanghai. There still seemn to be an expectation of a peaceful termination to all this imbroglio, but great mystery still envelopes the aimsand objects of the Japanese. INDIA. NANA SAHIB.— The Times correspondent at Calcutta, writing on the 23d July, says:—" Official opinion in Calcutta is unanimous as to the identity of the man captured in Ajmere with the fiend Nana Dhoondo Punt. Except that the prisoner's hair is white, that he has lost two front teeth, and that his cheeks are not full— all the natural results of six years' hardship— he agrees in every respect with the " hue and cry' descriptions given by Government when a sum of £ 10,000 was set upon his head. His companion, Naroo Punt Bhalia Bhutt, similarly corresponds in appearance with the marks in the descriptive roll. The blind beggar, who accompanied both, has confessed that the suspected prisoner is the real Nana, who induced him to join him as a ' blind ' at Beyt after we captured that stronghold near the Gulf of Cam bay some years ago. The party wandered thence to Lahore, Cashmere, and Central India, whence they returned through the Desert of Bika- neer to Nusserabad and Saloomlur. The latter is a little State in Iiajpootana, which for two years has only just escaped chastise- ment at our hands. There, the blind Brahmin asserts, Tantia Topee hides, the man whom we hanged at Seepree under that name being a different person from the Nana's great general. From 8 doomlur the party went to Ajmere, and near a tank there the spies accomplished their capture thus. A Brahmin of Bithoor, the N ana's head- quarters before the rebellion, had his rel Hives murdered and village plundered by the Nana's troops. He re- solved on revenge, and a year ago, having certain information of the miscreant's existence in Nepaul, he set out as a religious mendicant to capture him. Having failed, he went round by this very Beyt to Bombay and Poona, where he learned that the Nana had taken refuge in the great Rajpoot State of Jeypore. The Bombay authorities supplied liitn with two detectives; he tracked the Nana to Saloomlur, and being disguised as a faquir, won his confidence. He then set the police upon him and his two attendants, and in an hour they were securely ironed in Ajrnere under a European guard. An intelligent Sergeant- major of the Royal Artillery, now at Nus- seerabad, who has often seen the Nana at Meerut, swears to his identity. The negative evidence is of the strangest kind. The prisoner knows English, and is a man who has been delicately nurtured. If he is indeed the Nana, now that the Cawnpore well is for ever sacred, Wheeler's intrenchments, or the Sutta Choura Massacre Ghaut, will see his end on the gallows, and history will be satisfied. " As yet all is quiet in Afghanistan. Thenew Ameer, Shere Ali Khan, is as notoriously hostile to the English alliance as his brother by a different mother, and rival, Mahomed Azim Khan, is in favour of it. The former tried hard to induce his father to let the Affghans descend the passes in July, 1857, to take Peshawur and drive out the English, and the latter was the most prominent in his opposition to this madness. The new Ameer is a man of about 40 years of age, and is described by Colonel Lumsden, who lived for fifteen months at the head of our mission in Candahar, as cruel in disposition, violent in temper, and a victim of gout, which is the family disease, and is fed by Asiatic dissipation, but as very fond of business. He is the ' own' brother of that Akbar Khan with whose name all England rang in 1340, when he shot our envoy, Sir W. Macnaughten, with his own hand, but spared the other prisoners." EOYAL IRISH AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. The show of this society has been held during the week at Kil- kenny, for the first time these fifteen years, and was in every respect a great success. Taking the show of horned cattle as a whole, the quality was excellent. The yearling heifers and bulls could hardly be surpassed. The gold medal for the best bull In the yard was won by Soubador, a splendid animal, the property of Mr T. Butler, county of Tipperary, who also obtained a medal as its breeder. Viscount de Vesci exhibited his bull, Sir William, and Lord Lismore competed with his bull Wizard. Although these animals neittier won prizes nor commendations, they were regarded as excellent representatives of their race. The Marquis of Waterford was among the successful competitors in the two year old section. He exhibited his bull Field Marshal, a fine, well- formed animal, which won the first prize of £ 10. He also exhibited the well- known bull Knave of Hearts, which took the second prize. Viscount de Vesci took the first prize in yearling bulls, and the Marquis of Waterford the second. The show of short- horned cows was good, but not so attractive as the bulls. The heifers exhibited were of excellent quality. In the three year old class Lady of Avenel, the property of Mr Anderson, Waterford, took the first prize of £ 10 ; and Lucia, the property of Mr Barcroft, the second. The latter was a very handsome animal. The Rose of the Suir, the property of Mr Anderson, tcok the first prize in the class of two year old heifers, and Mr B^ rcroft's Mysie the second. The most attractive animal among the yearling heifers was Weodllower, the property of Mr. Ball; she won the prize of £ 15. The show of horses was rather small, and, though there were many good animals present, none were deserving of special notice. The sheep show was large and good. The princi- pal prizes were carried off by Mr Owen, of Blesinton ; Mr Wat- kins, of Droitwich, England; T. Morris, Ulceby, England; G. Turner, Beacon Downs, Exeter; T. B. Browne, Cheltenham ; R. S. Skirving, East Lothian; C. W. Hamilton, Dunboyne; Right Hon W. F. Tighe, Inistiogue; and the Earl of Bessborough. There was a large display of swine, and a very good collection of poultry. The great prizes of the show— the challenge cups, worth 50 guineas each, and which must be won three times by the same person before one becomes his property, were awarded as follows: — The cup for the best stallion, mare, or filly, to the Clydesdale mare Bell, the property of John Mill, Corballis, Donabate, which also obtained first prize in its class. The Croker Challenge Cup, value 30 guineas, for the best weight- carrying thorough bred stallion, to Claret; owner, T. Groves, Kirkhamerton Lodge, near York., England. The Cork Challenge Cup, value £ 30, for the best shearling ram in classes D and E, to a Leicester ram, the pro perty of W. O wen, Blessintou. The Cork Challenge Cup, value £ 50, for the best shearling ram, not Leicester, to a Shropshire ram, the property of C. W. Hamilton, Dunboyne. In the implement department there were exhibited machines suited to the requirements and the pecuniary resources of all classes, some displaying great ingenuity and originality. There were no less than 53 exhibitors, many of whom came from dis- tant places in England and Scotland. Most of the implements were at work with steam- power, and the whirling, grinding noise was excessive. The sheds were crowded with visitors, who in- spected with eager curiosity the triumphs of mechanical skill around them, from the ponderous thrashing- machine to the in- genious invention of Bradford, which astonished the housewives by restoring to virgin whiteness in a few minutes blankets that had been dragged through the mud. The great prize in this class was the Farmers' Gazette Challenge Cup, value 50 guineas, pre- sented by Messrs W. S. and E. Purdon, for the best general col- lection of implements suited to the agriculture of Ireland, practical utility being more considered than ingenuity of design, and due weight in all cases given to economv. It was awarded to T. M'Kenzie, Munster Agricultural- house, " Co'- k^ MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. FUNERAL OF LORD CLYDE.— On Saturday, Aug 22, the re- mains of Field- Marshal Lord Clyde were interred in Westminster Abbey. In compliance with the wishes of the veteran, it had been arranged that the funeral should be of the simplest possible nature ; and even up to Thursday the cemetery at Kensal Green had been fixed upon as the last resting place of the illustrieus warrior, but in consequence of an earnest desire expressed by the Government the executors consented to depart from the arrange- ments previously made, and Westminster Abbey was decided on as the fitting burial place of the gallant old soldier. At the resi- dence of Lord Clyde in Berkeley- square, whither the remains of the veteran had been conveyed from Chatham, a great number of persons assembled early on Saturday morning in order to witness the departure of the funeral procession and to accompany it. All to whom the privilege of acting as mourners had been accorded having assembled, and other necessary arrangements having been made, the mournful cavalcade slowly made its way through the streets on the way to the Abbey. The number of mourning and other carriages which followed was certainly larger than usual: but, in accordance with the late noble lord's wishes, all appearance of pomp and display had been avoided, and the whole arrange- ments were on the simplest possible scale. Among the followers were the Duke of Wellington, Major- General Eyre, Commandant of Chatham Garrison; Col M'Murdo, Inspector- General of Volunteers ; Col Alisen ; the Marquis of Donegall, Earl de Grey and Ripon, Secretary of State for War; Lord Longford, General Forster, the Earl of Lucan, Lord Gough, Lord W. Paulet, Sir Richard Airey, the Earl St Maur, Sir E. Lugard, Sir Henry Hors- ford, Col Shadwell, Sir R. Walpole, Major- General Coke, Major Alison, Major Dawmer, Viscount Danaan, Sir R. Hamilton, Col Stuart, Col Whymper, Col Balfour, Col Gordon, Major Stephen- son, Major Sutherland, & c. Immediately following the last mourning coach was one of the Queen's carriages drawn by six horses, one sent by the Prince of Wales drawn by four horses, one by the Duke of Cambridge, and one by the Duchess of Cambridge. Great numbers of persons lined the streets, and a feeling of deep sympathy was apparent in all. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. TIIE ACHILLES.— Advantage has been taken at Chatham of the recent fine weather to lay the main and upper deck planking of the Achilles, and the entire surface of the upper, or weather, deck is now planked and caulked on the ordinary iron deck plates from end to end. The mechanics have been employed overtime for about a fortnight past, in order that the entire deck might be completed before any change of weather set in. The iron plating of all the decks is 5- ltiths of an inch in thickness, with iron ties | in thick. Above this is laid the ordinary 4in oak planking on the main deck, and 4in deal planking on the upper deck. Several hundred mecbanios are employed in completing the shot- and- sliell- proof bulkheads which enclose the broadside batteries of 26 guns. In this portion of the frigate the 4fin iron armour plating is carried from 5ft below the water line to above the main deck to the bulwarks, by which arrangement the men working the guns will be entirely protected by 4£ in iron armour- plates. This plating, however, will not be carried beyond the main deck in the other portions of the vessel, the sides ef which will be protected by the ordinary inch- iron plates. By this arrangement there will be three distinct batteries on board the Achilles, but from the manner in which the centre battery will be protected by the armour- plating the gunners will be enabled to keep up a steady fire long after the guns in the other batteries may have been silenced. The centre, or midships, battery, is now entirely com- pleted and covered with the armour plating, the only remaining portions of the exterior of the Achilles now waiting to receive the armour- plates being the stem and stern portions ; but, in conse- quence of the difficulty experienced in bending the plates, the work proceeds but slowly. THE DOCKYARD AT DEAL.— The Government having decided on abolishing the dockyard and naval stores established at Deal, Admiralty instructions have been received at Chatham directing the whole of the stores to be removed from the Deal yard to Chat- ham, where they will be inspected by the officials of the esta- blishment. * Those which are found to be unfitted for the public service will be condemned and disposed of. Already several of the largest descriptions of anchors and cables have been trans- ferred from Deal to Chatham, and two of the dockyard transports are employed exclusively in removing the remainder of thestores. Tiie site of the dockyard* will be appropriated by the Government for building purposes, a portion being set apart for increasing the barrack accommodation of the troops quartered at Deal. DASTARDLY MURDER — On Friday evening week a young lady named Elizabeth Goodwin, 22 years of age, and granddaughter of Capt Goodwin, a Derbyshire magistrate, was foully murdered by a cotton spinner of Manchester, named George Victor To wnley, son of Mr Townley, a stockbroker, under the following circum- stances:— On Friday morning Mr Townley left Manchester and travelled to Whatstandwell Station, on the Matlock line of rail- way. He proceeded to the house of Mrs Burley, the Bull's Head Inn, where he engaged a bed for the night and paid for it. He then appears to have walked forward to Wirksworth, where he arrived about half- past one o'clock. He then called upon the Rev Herbert Harris, head master of the Grammar School, and an intimate friend of the family. He told Mr Harris that he had been engaged to Miss Goodwin for some time, and said that she had written to him to break off the engagement, desiring that her letters might be returned. He further added that he wished to hear her make this determination from her own lips. He said to Mr Harris, " Ave you aware whether a clergyman has been visiting her lately ? I presume you know, as you are in the con- fidence of the family." Mr Harris replied, " I do not feel bound to reveal confidential communications. I may, however, tell you that a clergyman has been visiting at, Captain Goodwin's." Mr Townley said, " What is his name?" Mr Harris said, " I must decline to give you his name." Mr Harris advised him to write by post asking for an interview, and he added. " or you may go up to Wigwell and see her if you can." Mr Harris, being about to resume his duties in the school, asked him to call again. Mr Townley then went away, and called again upon Mr Harris about half past, four o'clock, and had a further interview. He then went to Wigweil, the seat of Captain Goodwin. A servant answered the door, and announced to Miss Goodwin the visit of Mr Townley. Miss Goodwin directed him to be shown into the hall, and, having conversed with him for about two minutes, Miss Goodwin and Mr Townley left the hall and walked together in the pleasure grounds for about half an hour. Pre- viously to going out Miss Goodwin told the servant to go to her at the end of that time, aad say she was wanted. The servant went to them in the grounds, according to appointment, and found Mr Townley reading a newspaper, and Miss Goodwin in conversation with him. She went into the hall again, and in a short time re- turned to the grounds, but before leaving she told the servant to call her when tea was ready. At tea time the servant called Miss Goodwin, who said she would come directly, but it would appear that they walked away together out of the grounds, and into the turnpike road. They appear to have been together for some time, until a labourer named Conway, who was returning from work, heard groans, and as he prooeeded onwards he saw Miss Goodwin by the side of a wall on the footpath. She asked him to take her home, when he supported her with his arm round her waist for about twenty yards. She said to him, " There is a gentleman down there who has cut my throat." He looked around, and saw a gentleman ( Mr Townley) who said, " I have murdered Miss Goodwin, and I shall be hanged." Just at this moment Mr Leeds of Cromford, a boot and shoe maker, who had been attending Alfreton Market, was returning home between eight and nine o'clock, in company with his brother. They saw something lying in the road, and they pulled up, when they saw a lady's straw hat in the middle of the road. They put it in the cart, and drove a short distance further, when they found Miss Goodwin lying on the road dying, and the murderer ( Town ley) sitting down beside her. When Mr Leeds and his brother got up to them Conway said to them, " This is Miss Goodwin." They said, " Who has done this?" Townley said. " I have done it." It was suggested that they should put the body in the cart, but, as this was inconvenient, and as they were not more than 200 yards from the hall, they agreed to carry her. Before they could lift her she was dead.' Mr Leeds and Conway then took hold of Miss Goodwin's feet, and the murderer laid hold of her head, and they conveyed her into the kitchen. Mr Mant, surgeon, of Wirksworth, was called in, and he found three wounds in her body, one on the right side of the neck, about three inches long, extending down to the spine and dividing the principal vessels of the throat, one behind the ear, and another which penetrated the left shoulder- joint. Death had re- sulted from excessive bleeding. The instrument of murder was a large clasp pocket- knife, about six inches long, the end of which was broken, owing, it is supposed, to its having come in contact with the back- bone. Parnharn, the police constable, was sent for immediately the body was brought to the hall, and on his enter- ing the kitchen, at half- past nine o'clock, the murderer went to him and said, " I give myself in charge for murdering the young lady. Recollect, policeman, I give myself in charge." The po- liceman cautioned him to what he said being used in evidence against him, when he said, " I understand you perfectly.'' He was then taken into custody to the Wirksworth lock- up, and on the road he said he felt much happier since he had done it, and he added, after he had talked about the weather, " I hope Miss Goodwin is in a better world." In his pockets were found 12s lOd, a tobacco pipe, and also a letter which was addressed to Miss Goodwin. There was also a draught copy of another letter addressed to the unfortunate young lady, which was written in his pocket- book. When at the lock- up lie tried to destroy the letter, but sufficient could be gathered from it to show that he ad- mitted he was willing to release her from her engagement. It began, " Dear Bessy, I won't stand in your way." An inquest has been held, and a verdict of wilful murder of course returned against Townley, and he has been committed for trial at the next Derby Assizes/ He appeared perfectly calm and collected during the proceedings. FISHING IN THE NORTH SEA.— The herring fishing in the North Sea, off the Durham and Yorkshire coast, which at one time threatened to be an utter failure this season, within the past ten days has proved extremely bountiful, and will repay the fishermen for all their reverses ' in the early part of the season. One day last week upwards of a million herrings, it was conjec- tured, were landed at, Hartlepool, and the sale of herrings in that town on Thursday, Aug 20, would realise to the fishermen about £ 2,000. The " takes" were equally good on the Friday and Saturday. The prices were as low as 15s per thousand. The Shields fishermen did not realise so well in the early part of last week, but on Bun- day their boats came into the Tyne loaded to the water's edge, and prices ranged from 17s to 18s per thousand. The fish are ex- tremely prime. The extraordinary shoals that have been fallen in with are described by the fishermen to be so solid that it was a difficult matter to sink their nets. A number of Penzance and Folkestone boats are fishing off the Yorkshire coast, and within the past few days a considerable fleet of large French luggers have made their appearance, and are busily employed gathering the harvest of the sea. HOP INTELLIGENCE. MAIDSTONE : The improvement which we noticed in our last has been maintained during the past week, notwithstanding that some of the nights were cold. Many of the grounds now present a beautiful appearance, though the crop will be partial.— CANTER- BURY : The showers of last week have caused our hops to make rapid growth ; and should the weather bold out warm, picking will be commenced in ten or twelve days.— SEVENOAICS : The growth in this parish will be exceedingly varied, some grounds being set at 7cwt and Scwt, while others will not produce more than half that quantity. Some are irretrievably gone. Since our last report the fair grounds have made much progress, but we fear there is a tendency to overset the crop. The average growth may be about 4cwt,— ROCHESTER : Although some of the plan- tations in this district will produce a tolerable sprinkling of hops, the majority of the grounds are in a wretched plight, with no prospect of anything like a crop. In not a few of the gardens the planters will not place a bin. Picking will become general in about a fortnight.— BRENCHLEY: Although a considerable por- tion of our hops are totall> blighted we have great improvement on the whole. There is now to be seen at Key Lands, on Mr G. O. Thirkell'sfarm, near Paddock Wood station, an extraordinary piece of the " Brenchley prolifics," well worthy the notice of any planter who may be inclined to cultivate this new kind. This gar- den has been visited by many good judges, and backed against any garden of the same size within 10 miles of the place.— HAJULOW : Our hops begin to present a most luxuriant appearance, and should favourable weather continne, a crop in this neighbeur- hood equal to £ 200,000 duty will be grown, and of good quality. Picking commences in about a week or ten days.— FARNHAM, ALTON, AND COUNTRY DISTRICTS, AUG 23: The plantations in the parish of Farn ham present a most luxuriant appearance, and will produce a large crop. Some of the best grounds in the country are much improved, whilst the very bad are much worse, and will do very little in the shape of a crop.— EAST KENT : Where rain has fallen during the past week a great improvement has taken place in the appearance of the hops. They have grown very fast, and a more favourable opinion is entertained of the crop than two or three weeks ago. No account has reached us of a ground showing a worse appearance, and it may be fairly presumed that the yield will be better than has hitherto been anticipated. SUSSEX.— Though there is still much unevenneis and variation throughout the plantations in this county, yet a Tery decided im- provement has taken place within the last fortnight. It is now believed that most planters will get, at least, a paying crop, and in many grounds, particularly in the eastern portion, the yield, to all appearances, will be an exceedingly good one.— South Eastern Gazette, WORCESTER.— Advices from Worcester up to Bat- urday con- tinue to speak most favourably of the Worcester plantations. After a few cold days and nights the weather became warm and eic> g< 3 igaiflj and admirably suited for developing the growth of the burr whicu ' a hSW W^ U covering the bine, and presenting the usual beautiful appearance. T£ ere I* BOW no doubt thkt Worcester will have a capital crop, and with continued favourable weather of excellent quality. As last year Kent and Sussex bad the ad- vantage, Worcester will now have the turn. This the Worcester grower considers only fair. In North Notts the unsettled state of the weather has impeded harvest work, but it has been favourable for the hop plant, which in this district has made wonderful pro- gress during the last fortnight. The vermin has v< try much diminished, and the plant now looks very healthy. With suit- able weather hop- picking will be early this year, and the yield and quality promise to be better than for many years past in this neighbourhood. A BUTCHER GORED TO DEATH BY A BULLOCK.— A melan- choly occurrence has just taken place at Marlborough, Wilts, Mr Stephen Strond, a butcher, residing in that town, having been gored to death by a bullock. It appears that Mr Strcrnd was about to bleed a bullock in his slaughter- house previous to killing it, and that the animal suddenly turned upon him and gored him, his horn entering the thigh of the unfortunate man. The wound, which was a serious one, was at once bound up by a sur- geon, but the injuries were so great that Mr Strond sank under them. An inquest was held on the body by Mr Whitmarsh, when the jury, after hearing the evidence, returned a verdict of Accidental Death. ACCIDENT AT BLACKFRIARS BRIDGE.— On Saturday, Aug 22, a fatal accident occurred at the works now in progress for the erec- tion of a viaduct for the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, across the Thames at Blackfriars. Of late immense masses of scaffolding for laying the foundations of the bridge have been raised at intervalsright across the river, leaving here and there open spaces in a line with the arches of the old bridge for the purposes of the navigation. As usual in great engineering under- takings, travelling cranes are in use for carrying materials along the line of operations, and especially for lifting masses of granite which are being used in the structure. They run on lines of rail, and can be readily moved from place to place. One of these cranes, a ponderous thing of itself, was being transferred from one part of the works to another on the above afternoon about three o'clock, by seven or eight men, whom it carried along with it, bearing thus its own motive power, when, in crossing one of the spans left free for the navigation, a beam of wood on which the machine travelled, gave way, and the crane, with the whole of the men upon it, fell into the river from a height of about 40 feet. For tlie moment, the excitement which the incident pro- duced among the people on the old bridge is said to have been so great as of itself to give cause for alarm. They collected in a state of consternation all along the eastern parapet, and the crowd kept increasing for some time. A barge, with two men on board, be- longing to Brentford, was passing below at the time of the acci- dent, and one of the men is said to have been hurt, but to what extent could not be learnt, by the falling materials. Two of the men who fell with " the traveller" were so much injured as to render their removal to au hospital necessary. One workman, named Ellis, fell into the river and was drowned. ATTEMPT TO BURN A CHURCH.— On Monday, in the Town Hall, Godalming, before Mr H. Marshall, mayor, and other ma- gistrates, Arthur Hackman, aged 26, a labourer in the employ of Mr Madley, chamois leather manufacturer, was finally examined on a charge of attempting to burn the parish church. It appeared from the evidence that the sexton on Monday morning last dis- covered, on entering the building, some large pieces of burnt paper lying in the south aisle under the window facing Church- street. The paper seemed to have been torn from a wall. The window had been broken from the outside, and between the wall and a tomb which stood near it four lucifer matches were picked up which had been ignited. Suspicion having fallen on the pri- soner, who lives in Church- street, his house was examined. It was then discovered that the paper was of the same pattern as that of the paperhangings on the wall of his room, and that the latter had been torn. The fragments found in the church aisle were applied co the surface from which the paper had bean torn. The edges were found exactly to fit, and the little bits of plaster which had stuck to the paper corresponded to small holes left in the wall. After an examination, which lasted from ten o'clock in the morning till four in the afternoon, the prisoner was committed for trial at the next Surrey Assizes, bail being refused. SUNDAY HAYMAKING.— THE PROPOSED DONKEY SHOW.— The following paragraph, copied from a contemporary, leads us to believe that the forthcoming donkey show will be more than usually attractive, and that the chief prizes will go to A herton, as there is a probability of a numerous entry of the great unpaid from that district as competitors:—" At the Atherton petty ses- sions, on Monday, Peter Cleworth and 13 others were convicted, under an act of Parliament of the reign of Charles II., for getting hay in on the Sunday. The case had been adjourned for a month to enable the magistrates to consider the state of the law on the subject. The chairman of the bench ( Mr Silvester) told the de- fendant Cleworth that they had considered the cases, and had decided that they were guilty of a desecration of the L > rd's Day, and a penalty of 5s and costs would be inflicted. Defendant Cle- worth : I don't intend to pay. I am advised that your deoision is not legal. Mr Silvester: Vou are very foolish; for a distress war- rant will be granted against your goods, and you have no appeal. Charles Bennett, a collier, was lined in a similar sum ' for aiding and abetting.' He and several others were told that if they would pay the costs ( 6s 6d) no conviction would be recorded against them. They, however, refused, protesting against paying anything for saving produce from injury. It is understood that distress warrants will be issued against those defendants who are householders, and the others will be incarcerated in the stocks, in accordance with the provisions of this ancient statute. The cases have excited much indignation throughout the neighbourhood, many considering that such convictions are calculated to bring jtusice into contempt."

MUSIC AND DRAMA. MR MELLON'S CONCERTS.— A great proof of the increasing popularity of M Gounod's masterly opera of" Faust" was afforded on Tuesday night at these entertainments, when a selection of the principal morceaux was performed for the first time, the theatre being crowded in every part. The selection was admirably made, all the telling airs and choruses being introduced and woven to- gether with great taste, skill, and judgment by Mr Mellon him- self. It commenced with the very beautiful valse, sung by Mdlle Carlotta Patti, and here we cannot help thinking Mr Mellon made a mistake, as it would have been much more effective had it been introduced in its proper place in the Kermesse music of the opera; as it was the audi- ence did not appreciate it as its merits deserved. Follow- ing this came the orchestral prelude, Faust in his study, the chorus of peasant girls, with a solo on the oboe by M- r Nichol- son ; Faust's solo, " Arriva estrenaa di miei di," played on the bassoon by M Hausser; the vision of Margaret being rendered by Mr Trust on the harp, and Mr C. Harper on the horn. The Kermesse scene, with the chorus of students, soldiers, old men, girls, and matrons, was most spiritedly executed, the staccato passages of the quaint chorus of old men being given by the chalumeaux of the clarionets. Mr Hawkes played the barytone air, " O santa medaglia," on the trombone, and Mr Hughes the song in praise of gold on the ophicleide; the grand invocation scene employing the powers of the entire band. " Parlate le d'amor'' was allotted as a flute solo to Mr Pratten, and was so charmingly given by that artiste as almost to elicit an encore; whilst the pathos and tender beauty of the tenor solo, " Salve dimora casta," were most exquisitely rendered by Mr Barrett on the Cor Anglais, and by Mr Hill on the violin. Mr Lazarus and Mr Pratteh did ample justice to the sweetest of love duets, " Tarda si fa," and the solo for con- tralto, " Quando a te," written by M Gounod expressly for Madame Didi6e, was played by Mr Levy on the cornet a pistons, to the manifest delight of his hearers. The selection was wound up with the choral march, " Oh, gloria immortale cinta,'' played by the entire band, and by several members of the band of the Coldstream Guards, under the direction of Mr A. F. Godfrey. This latter piece was vociferously encored, and has never, per- haps, been, so brilliantly performed ; its effect was quite electrical on the large number of listeners, who seemed determined to lose no note of its great and glorious melody, and at its termination Mr Mellon was summoned before them to receive their plaudits on the success of the selection. So justly popular has M Gounod's work become, that, we may presume " Faust'' will be heard on every night of Mr Mellon's concerts. The graceful flow of the various melodies, the elaborate and delicate changes in the instrumenta- tion, the poetical oharm of the love scenes, and the vigorous hear- tiness of the fair and military passages, fit the work as much for the occasional hearer or the student in music as for the general public. Twice in the course of the evening M Lotto, a Polish violinist, appeared and received quite an ovation, by a most mar- vellous execution of Viotti's very difficult 17th concerto, and by an extraordinary facile performance of Paganini's " Moto Per- petuo," the encore of which was succeeded by a brilliant rendering of the " Carnival de Venise." M Lotto appears to be absorbed in his art, and to play with the greatest possible amount of fluency; he is very young, and may be regarded as one of the first violinists of the day. Mdlle Carlotta Patti seems established here as the prime favourite of the hour, the most frantic expressions of delight fol- lowing her execution of " Coming through the rye'' and the Italian scenas which she sings. ADELPHI THEATRE.— The " Hen and Chickens" is the title of a new comic drama, written by Mr Webster, jun, and produced successfully here on Monday night. It is smartly written, and neatly put together, something after the fashion of the French petite c « medies, the morale being the unpleasantness of living under the same roof with one's wife's mother. This subject is very fairly and pleasantly treated, and affords a capital character for Mrs Stirling, whose return to the stage, after a long absence from it, is a matter for real theatrical rejoicing. As Mrs Soft Sawderley she interferes unduly with the marital happiness of her daughter Angelina ( Miss Henrietta Sims) and her husband, Mr Alfred Casby ( Mr Billington), persisting in not allowing them to leave her house, and interrupting their tete a tete conversations upon all occasions. In despair Alfred takes a house in St John's Wood and furnishes it, intending it as a home for himself and wife apart from her parent, and to take Angelina to it as a plea- sant surprise ; but in his absence the two ladies open an envelope, which is brought in by the footman James ( Mr R. Phillips), as requiring an immediate answer, and there discover to their horror that it is a bill for costly furniture supplied to the husband for his new residenoe. To this they separately repair, Angelina being overwhelmed with delight at her husband's announcement that it is for her future home. Mrs Sawderley enters very indignant, under the impression that it has been rented and furnished for a pretty horsebreaker; but the truth is explained to her just as the cry of an infant is heard from an adjoining apartment. This proves to have come from a baby, the motherless daughter of Mr Tom Sawderley ( Mr W. H. Eburne), a nautical son of Mrs Sawderley's, who has married, and has lost his wife, unknown to his parents, and who had called on his brother- in- law to ask his advice as to the disposal of the infant. Mrs Sawderley seizes the opportunity of taking care of the child, determines Hpon going to Brighton, and leaving the young married couple to their fate, as she sees at last that she is one too many with them. This little comedy is so excellently played that it deserves to have a run; Mrs Stirling portraying the part of the mother devoted to her daughter, yet cautiously and cleverly deferring in all things to her son- in- law's authority, with exquisite truth to nature, and with such vigour and variety as to show that her powers as an actress are unimpaired. Miss Sims and Mr Billington played well as the newly wedded pair, and Mr Phillips gave great prominence to the character of James, the flunkey of the Berkeley- square pat- tern. The " Haunted Man" and the " Ill- treated Trovatore" fol- lowed. the ghost scenes in the first named piece riveting the attention of the audience by the wondrous nature of theirillusion. PRINCESS'S THEATRE.— This theatre has been opened for a short season by Mr Walter Montgomery for the purpose, apparently, of the public having the opportunity of seeing him enact Shyloek, Othello, Iago, King John, and other characters. The com- pany, with the exception of Miss Atkinson, is not sufficiently strong for such high dramatic uses; nor does Mr Montgomery's ability as an actor warrant, to our thinking, the assumption of " so varied a round of Shaksperian characters. Mr Montgomery is clever, painstaking, and has a thorough acquaintance with the stage and its conventional usages, but that he is equal to the deli- neation of the most refined and subtle phases of his noble art is a question we cannot reply to in the affirmative at present. DRURY- LANE THEATRE.— The rumour that Mr Phelps is en- gaged at this theatre proves to be correct. He will appear in October as Manfred in Lord Byron's play of that name, the season meantime commencing with a new comeiy called " Nature's above Art," in which Miss Charlotte Saunders ( from the Strand), Mr Walter Lacy, Mr Addison, Mr G. Belmore, and Miss R. Leclercq ( from the Westminster) will appear. COURSING. PLACE. Monasterevan Club..., Scottish National Club COURSING FIXTURES FOR 1863. SEPTEMBER. JUDGE. MEETING, Mr K.

CAUTION TO CONDUCTORS.— At the Mansion House, on Wed- nesday, John Mears, conductor of a Champion- hill omnibus, was summoned by a Mr Jackson for refusing to admit him and two ladies into his omnibus.— Mr Jackson stated that on the afternoon in question, in consequence of its coming on to rain, he was going to get into the defendant's omnibus with two ladies who were with him. At that time there were three passengers inside the vehicle, but when he asked the defendant to open the door, he refused to do so, and told hiir. to get into an omnibus that was behind. He did not feel inclined to do so at first, and in the meantime other passengers— gentlemen— were admitted into the omnibus, the ladies being pushed aside. There was still room for them; but the defendant said the seats were engaged, and he was finally obliged to get into the other ompibus.— I'lie defendant said six gentlemen got in before the complainant asked Mm to open the door, and at that time there were only three seats inside, two of which he reserved for two gentlemen who rode regularly by the omnibus every evening, and the complainant had two ladies with him, so that there was not room for them all. He told the complainant the omnibus which was behind would draw in front of his as soon as there was room, and would leave five minutes before he did.— Sir R. Carden said the defendant's was a public conveyance, and he ought to take any passengers who pre- sented themselves, and not to dictate to them, as it appeared to him he had done, which omnibus they were to ride in. — The defendant said the omnibus into which he told complainant to get was to start before his did, and the time- keeper had told him he ought not to take passengers before it was time to Btart, or while a Peckham omnibus was waiting, which was the case in this instance.— Sir Richard said it was clear that he was mistaken ; he stood there evidently for the purpose of admitting passengers, and he ought to admit them when they asked him to open the door, and take them any distance they liked, if there was room in the vehicle, unless he could satisfactorily show that the seat or seats were regularly engaged by other parties.— The defendant said the seats were kept for gentlemen who had ridden with him for some years.— Sir Robert said it was not sufficient that they were regular riders; he must show that the seats were regularly engaged. It was not to be allowed that defendant ana others of his class were to make laws for themselves. He had broken the law, and he must therefore abide by it. Mr Jackson had, he thought, done very right in bringing the matter before the court, as on rainy days the omnibus conductors took passengers who were going the whole distance, while they refused those who were only going part, in order to make room for the more profit- able ones. He fined the defendant 10s and costs, making in all 13s, and the public were indebted to Mr Jackson for the trouble he had taken in bringing the matter before him. CAUTION TO AMATEUR DISTILLERS.— At Burnley police court © n Monday, Mr Peter Ormerod, of Rose Grove, near Burnley, was charged with illicit distillation. There were numerous charges, and the penalties sought to be recovered amounted to £ 1,750. Mr Thomas Gibson, the supervisor, said that he visited Mr Ormerod's premises on the 26th of June last, accompanied by police officers. On entering the house, he found in the kitchen, at the fireside, a tub, with a dish on the top of it, and, upon ex- amining it, he found that some kind of liquor was undergoing fermentation, and in which he discovered heads of clover. The defendant, who was present, said that he was making some clover vinegar. The wash- house was then visited, in which a number of stone bottles were deposited. He smelt one, and found it had contained illicit spirits. Defendant then said that his servant had lent some bottles to a man named Blaekey, one of his tenants, and that he had no doubt used them for illicit purposes, and then returned them. The brewhouse was then examined, and a furnace was there found, which was connected with the brewery chimney. A round boiler was found, and a large tub, which would hold about 150 gallons, and another, which would contain about 45 gallons. There were also three other tubs, two of which had water in them, which was very sweet, as if with treacle. In the coach- house a pun- cheon containing about nine cwt. of treacle was discovered, which defendant appeared to suggest ought to have gone to his brother's, at Blackpool, and had been left with him by mistake. Witness then went to Blackey's residence, accompanied by defendant; the door was locked, but Mr Ormerod produced the key, having turned Blackey out on the day previous, on account of " arrears in rent. Witness saw in the house no signs of illicit distillation, and observed that it was impossible to get the tubs into the house, either through the door or windows. The field adjoining de- fendant's house was afterwards searched, and a still was found hid in the ditch, and which was almost new, and bore signs of being recently used. It was ascertained that he was described as the sole occupier in the rate- book. Two stone bottles were found near the still, one of one gallon capacity, containing illicit spirits in imitation of rum; the other containing uncoloured spirits. On returning to the brewhouse they found the furnace had been par- tially knocked down, the defendant ( who had previously visited the coachhouse) having removed the brickwork, so as to cause the still to appear not adapted to the furnace. The still, however, was found to exactly fit it. Shortly afterwards two stone bottles were found in the manure- tank in the yard, both of which con- tained illicit spirits— The bench considered the whole of the counts proved, and fined the defendant £ 200 on the first four and £ 100 on the others. AGRICULTURAL HALL, ISLINGTON. — FLOWER, POULTRY, PIGEON, AND RABBIT SHOW.— On Wednesdayan experiment was made at the Agricultural Hall, Islington, to naturalise " shows" of the lighter kind in that district. Reference having been pro- bably had to the large capabilities of the hall, flowers, fruit, poultry, pigeons, and rabbits were combined in one exhibition. It is necessary to premise that it would require a quadrupling of each of the components of ordinary shows to fill adequately the spa- cious area and galleries of this hall; and therefore, at the first glance, the materials of the exhibition seemed rather sparse. But closer examination proved that a very considerable quantity of flowers, fruit, poultry, & c, had been got together; and deliberate inspection resulted in a very satisfactory sense of the quality of the articles displayed. In the first place, as regards the poultry, & c, there were collected over 700 fowls of all breeds, pigeons in endless variety, and rabbits, all of which would be dear to the heart of the " fancier." The poultry comprised Spanish- Dorkings, which were very fine, and bore off the belt; Cochin- China, Bramah Pootra, game, Hamburg, Polish, Malay, and bantam ; there were some ducks promissory of succulence, excellent geese and turkeys, and some ornamental waterfowl. The pigeons were of every variety— pouters and bettors, carriers, dragons, tumblers, fantails, & c; and the rabbits rejoiced, as usual, in plentiful long ears, and that lymphatic temperament peculiar to the exhibited animal of that genus. The principal prize for the best pen of fowls in the show, consisting of a silver cup, value £ 5, manufactured by Messrs Mappin, was borne off by the Viscountess Holmesdale, the winners being Dorkings. The'first prize for Coch n Chinas was awarded to Mr J. W. Kellaway ; and of Bramah Pootras, to Mrs Fergusson Blair. The list of prizes is too long for our columns. Turning to the fruit and flowers, it may be mentioned that the ferns were very fine, and the hollyhocks remarkable for beauty of shape and colour; and some cut roses from Messrs Paul of Ches- hunt were of themselves sufficient to entitle the show to be desig- nated a " summer" one. HEALTH OF LONDON — The deaths in the week ending Aug 22 were 1,337, being 13 above the average. From diarrhcea there were 183 deaths, from smallpox 39, scarlatina and diphtheria 139, & c, & c, The births were 912 boys and 876 girls— total 1,733. March 14.

THE " FOLEY CUP" AT BIAMGR.— THE LATE CAPTAIN O'BMEIf. TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE. DEAR SIR: Will you kindly permit me, through your columns, to remind the coursers of Ireland that the 1st October is the day fixed for closing the subscription list to the " Foley Cup," to be established at the Diamor St Leger Meeting, in accordance with the suggestion contained in your paper last March, that such a tribute of respect should be paid to the memory of Captain O'Brien, " the father of coursing in Ireland ?" About £ 40 is understood to have been already subscribed; but as it is settled that this shall not be a " challenge cup," it is obvious that a much larger sum must be contributed. My name having been mentioned in the programme as co- operating with the secretary, I have to state that, theugh unable to make a personal canvass, I shall only be too happy to take charge of any subscriptions which may more con- veniently be handed to me than forwarded to the secretary, Robert Battersby, Esq, Crossakeel, County Meath. It is expected that all the clubs of Ireland of wliiclj Captain O'Brien was a member will contribute their quota as well as the members individually. I have only to add that, in the event of adequate funds being forthcoming for the permanent establishment of the " Foley Cup" at the Diamor St Leger, I am authorised to state that another appropriate cup will fee given to be run for in a different locality, before the end of the season, the particulars of which will in due course appear. It is to be hoped that the season 1863- 84 may witness the inauguration of these two Eew cups in Ireland, so that, with the encouragement given by Lord Largan ( who last season gave no less than three cups), and by the Cork, North Union, and other younger clubs, whose valuable cups are each year so vigorously contested, an additional impetus may be given to the noble sport of coursing in Ireland. May I be permitted to suggest what appears to have been overlooked by the subscri- bers and committee of management, that £ 5 should be fixed as the maximum, and £ 1 as the minimum subscriptions to the " Foley Cup?"— Yours, & c, W. BARDEN. Dublin. GREYHOUND PRODUCE, & c. On the 5th ult, at Brierley Hill, Mr S. Williams's fawn and white bitch Fly, eleven pups to Mr H. Palmer's black dog Pole- star, six kept, namely, one white and black dog, one red dog, one fawn dog, one black and white bitch, one red bitch, and one fawn bitch. On the 20th inst. at Greenbank Kennels, Newry, Mr Barrett's fawn bitch Fawn, by Legar Hill out of Kate, visited Mr Savage's Sweeney Boy, by Skyrocket out of Seacole. The Waterloo Meeting will take place on the 17th, I8tli, and 19th of February. YARMOUTH CLUB.— Mr E. Spafford has been elected judge for the Yarmouth Club Meeting, which will take place on the 16th and 17th November. SCARBOROUGH OPEN MEETING.— The public are reminded that the Great Northern Sc Leger, for an unlimited number of puppies, closes on Tuesday next. The secretary will be glad to receive the nominations of old friends, who have not already sent them in. The following valuable setters, the property of Mr J. T. Wood- house, Leominster, were sold by auction by Mr Bent ley, at the Star and Garter Hotel, Worcester, oil Saturday, Aug 22:— Sultan, 5| yrs, £ 10; Belle, 5| yrs, £ 10; Pilot, 5 yrs ( shot over three seasons), £ 12; Doll, 2j yrs ( shot over one season), £ 13 10s; Don, 2 yrs ( not shot over), £ 9. BLUE HAT.— We have received a photograph of the above cele- brated stud greyhound, with that of Springhall, the slipper; and, considering the difficulties attending in obtaining a likeness ( it took the artist nearly two days before he was successful), the re- sult is very creditable. Blue Hat in 1860 won the Brownlow Cup ( 32 dogs), presented by Lord Lurgan. and was again successful in carrying off a similar prize the following season at the Lurgan Meeting ( county Armagh), with other stakes ; he won three courses for the Waterloo Cup in 1861, being put out in his fourth by Sea Rock, who ran up to Canaradzo, the winner. Barney Wil- liams, at that time a kennel companion to Blue Hat, won the Waterloo Purse at the same meeting. TROTTING- On Tuesday, August 25, the match between Jack Eossi'ter, the property of Mr Hughes, and Mr Holt's bay mare Gazelle, for £ 50, took place over Hounslow Heath. This match was made for five miles, the mare receiving 100 yards start; and at seven a. m. precisely the nags were brought to the fifteenth mile stone, the horse being driven by his owner, the mare by Mr G. On the word being given the mare left the scratch at once, and made plav at a good pace, but was eased a little after going a mile, and the horse not starting quite to readily, was no nearer than at the commence- ment. The mare now seemed inclined to overpower her driver, and nearly succeeded, and for half a mile she was all over the road, the driver endeavouring to get the little animal under sub- jection. By this time the horse wa3 alongside, and they raced together neck and neck, at a terrific pace, the little mare going splendidly and true, while the magnificent action and stride of Jack Rossiter, atnid general admiration, led his supporters to imagine the day was their own. This bit was a perfect treat to witness, and will be long remembered by those who were present. After going stride for stride for above one third of a mile, the mare was asked for an extra effort, and gallantly responded, when, the horse being pressed to do the same, broke up, and that so badly, that when set going again, the mare was a hundred yards ahead, and notwithstanding many excellent efforts on the part of Jack Rossiter, he failed to overtake the mare, who went in a win- ner by two hundred yards. held of by the young men, and stopped. At the bottom of the car lay stretched the body of the unfortunate aeronaut. He was lifted out and found to be just breathing, but quite insensible, having his handkerchief in his mouth. He was conveyed to the nearest dwelling, and all means adopted to restore animation, but without effect. Chambers was a married man, 36 years old, and leaves a family. His father was an aeronaut. As soon as the fate of Chambers was known, the music and amusements at the fete were stopped, and the visitors gradually dispersed.— A coroner* ® inquest has been held on the body of Chambers, and the follow- verdict returned :—" That the deceased, James Chambers, as- cended in a car attached to a balloon during fair weather ; that h « ascended in a voluntary manner and by his own free will; that through inhaling gas he became insensible and was unable to work the balloon properly, and the balloon coming into violent collision with the earth caused his death." A DEFAULTING COLLECTOR.— At the Middlesex Sessions, oa Wednesday, George Burrows, a respectable- looking man, 60 years of age, was indicted for feloniously embezzling various sums ® £ money, amounting in the aggregate to £ 300 and upwards, received by him in the collection of poor rates for the parish of Bromley St Leonards. He surrendered in court, and pleaded guilty. MI Sleigh said he appeared for the prosecution, on bekalf of the authorities of Bromley St Leonard's. The prisoner himself hadbeeu a ratepaj er in the parish over 40 years, and for 23 years and more he had been employed as a poor- rate collector, and during that time some hundreds of thousands of pounds had passed through his hands with not the least complaint having been made of any irregularity. He had brought up a large family without reproach, but lie had fallen into difficulties, perhaps not through any direct fault of his own. Some time since the duties of hie office became so arduous that the parish had to subdivide the dis- trict between him and another person, and the salary the prisoner had then hitherto received was reduced in proportion, and then, began his difficulties. The case was one really deserving of sym- pathy, and the authorities having done their duty in prosecuting, and the prisoner having pleaded guilty, they wished, both on ac- count of his age and his long connection with the parish, to re- oommend him to the merciful consideration of the court.— He was sentenced to 18 months' hard labour. FATAL ACCIDENT TO AN AERONAUT.— A grand fete was held on Monday, August 24, at the Park of Mr North, at Basford, near Nottingham. Amongst other amusements it was announced that Mr Coxwell would ascend in his balloon at six o'clock in tlia evening. However, for reasons which will soon appear, his place was suppled by Mr Chambers, who had previously made many ascents. The balloon was almost new, but of not very large di- mensions. After it had been fully inflated Mr Coxwell tried it, and found there would be some difficulty in his ascending by it. Just at this time Mr Chambers stepped forward and offered to go up in the balloon. Mr Coxwell was in a perplexity, and feared the balloon could not carry his weight. Chambers said he was lighter than Mr Coxwell, and wished to make the ascent. After some conversation it was agreed that Chambers should go up, but Mr Coxwell told him not to attempt an assent unless he was quite confident he could manage the balloon. Chambers replied that he had no fear about managing it, and accordingly he was al- lowed to make the ascent. The balloon rose steadily, and was carried somewhat rapidly in a north- easterly direction towards Nottingham. It proceeded as far as Arnold Vale, when it was seen suddenly to collapse, whilst still at a considerable altitude, and then to fall quickly in an unshapely mass. Some young men, who were near the spot, hastened to render assistance. The bal- loon heaved, and fell as it descended, completely covering the car, and ultimately both dropped in a field near Scout- lane, three miles from Nottingham. The car struck tho ground, and re- bounded several feet, and then fell again, when it was caught FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY, AUG 25 BANKRUPTS.

BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S. MONDAY, AUG 24.— The day- by- day settling that took place at York last week considerably lightened labours this afternoon, and as many of the subscribers remained in the North awaiting the Stockton Meeting, the attendance was not so numerous as of late. Very little wagering took place on the Stockton Handicap, * or which 2 to 1 was the current offer against Change, while 3 to 1 was taken about Flytrap, and 9 to 2 about Trust. A strong demonstration took place in favour of Lord Clifden for the St Leger, and after 5 to I had been taken about him— in one quarter alone to £ 350— layers reduced their offers to 9 to 2. Queen Bertha was invested on occasionally at 5 to 1, but those odds were easily obtainable up to the - close. At first 600 to 100 was betted against The Ranger, but it had not the effect of driving him back— on the contrary, there was an evident disposition in his favour, and cer- tainly not more than 5 to 1 to any amount would have been forth- comingatlast. Golden Pledge received substantial support at 10 to 1, whileat apointmore Avenger wasquite friendless, as Saccharometer was at the longer " figure" of 20 to 1. Mr I'Anson's mare found backers at 28 to 1, and after 1,000 to 15 had been laid five times against Dr Syntax, his price was reduced to 50 to 1. The other transactions on this important event were not ofanature to require further comment. For some time the highest offer on the field for the Derby was 100 to 8, but finally 15 to 1 was laid against Paris, and a point more against Scottish Chief. An investment was made on Blair Athel at 25 to 1; 1,000 to 15 was booked about Durham, nine " monkeys" about Mr Ten Broeck's lot, and 20 to 1 to a smaller amount about. Lord Glasgow's lot.

DEAB SIB : May I ask why are not the second and third horses placed on the telegraph in the races at the Curragh as well as at English race courses. This neglect of duty often leads to a great deal of dissatisfaction between parties backing horses for places. Little or no expense would settle all these arguments, and then every one would be pleased. Strangers visiting the Curragh at first must think this very odd. I see other parties writing in some of the daily papers here on the same subject as this, and no response has been made. If no response is made it will injure the Curragh materially. The stewards should look to this and see it rectified, and not let head- quarters go down alto- gether. Hoping that this great boon may be soon furnished, yours, & c, POLLAP. DSXOWN. Dublin, Aug 26.

MANCHESTER AND SAXEORD, HAVRE, TOKBAY, KING'S LYNN, AND OTHER REGATTAS. PEDESTBIANISM. CRICKET : SURREY V NORTH OF ENGLAND, CIVIL SERVICE WEEK IN IRELAND, & C. THE BLACK DUCK STAKES.— Having received some communi- cations and enquiries this week relative to the number of Mr Merry's filly by Wild Dayrell out of Lady Lureweli having been hoisted for the above event, we deem it necessary to repeat the remarks thereon in our report of the York Meeting in our last, in which we stated :—" Souehamp being an absentee, Miner walked over for the Juvenile Stakes, and the Young Melbourne filly per- formed the same feat for the Black Duck Stakes, which last year was non est in the programme. By some blunder, in nowise attri- butable to the ' authorities,' the number of Mr Merry's filly by Wild Dayrell out of Lady Lureweli— 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, how- ever, speedily removed, and, as already narrated, Lord Glasgow's filly walked over." This statement is in every respect correct; the number of the filly was hoisted, but, as above stated, it was simply a " blunder,'' for she was never " weighed for;" and we wish it to be distinctly understood that neither Mr Mat Dawson, the trainer of the filly, or Mr Manning, the Clerk of the Scales, were at all aware that the number had been temporarily displayed. Tenbury Races will take place Sept 30. Barnet Races take place on Monday, Bept 7. Fois de Gras has been added to the list of geldings. Mr G. Bryan has sold Lord Arthur, 3 yrs, to go to Jersey. Mr J. Wood has purchased Lady Mary, 2 yrs, of Mr Saxon for 150 sovs, without her engagements. Mr Wood, the gentleman steeple chase rider, has bought Knightsbridge for cross country work. Two two year olds of Lord Suffield have arrived at C. Brad- ley's, Newmarket, to be trained for their engagements. Cynic broke down while running at Oxford on Thursday last, and is now for sale as a country stallion. Mr J. B. Topham has purchased Horatio, by Idle Boy, and named him The Shunter. Mr Samuel has sold Mysterious Lady, 2 yrs, to Mr Drewitt, for £ 25. The owner of Gibraltar refused several offers for his horse during the Egham Meeting. STALLION FOR 1864.— Voltigeur is advertised at 50 sovs each mare, forty mares, inclusive of his owner's. Several yearlings belonging to the Oldbury Stud will be sold by auction at Warwick on Wednesday— the second race day. Carbineer, Piccador, Zapateado, Deerfoot ( 2 yrs), and Skipjack are advertised for sale by private contract. Mr Hudson has sold Coast Guard, by Saunterer, 2 yrs, and he goes into Godding's stable. J. Gilbert has entered upon his new engagement in the manage- ment of Mr Bavile's racing establishment at Newmarket. The stewards for Stockton Races next year are the Duke of St Albans and Gerard Sturt, Esq. The owner of Lothians' King requests us to state that his horse was struck out of the Great Yorkshire Handicap the moment the weights appeared. LANABK RACES.— The Burgh Members' Plate, the Silver Bell Handicap, the Hamilton Plate, and the Welter Plate close to the Clerk of the Course © n Tuesday next, Sept 1. DICTATOR.— This horse was sold on Wednesday last, at Stock- ton, to Mr Blenkiron, to go to China. The price is said to be 2,000gs. Mr T. Golby has sold Maria Agnes, with a filly foal at her foot by Pelion; also a yearling out of the same mare, but the latter will remain in Golby's stable. Arrived at T. Golby's, to be trained for their engagements:— Filly by Teddington out of The Farmer's Daughter, 2 yrs; Dun- troon, and Frank, the steeple chase horse. On Thursday evening, at Oxford, Mr Saxon offered Lord Bate- man the choice of any one of his horses for Lord of the Manor, which offer his lordship readily accepted, and took Double X, with his engagements, and he goes into Wadlow's stable. Mr Montgomery's chesnut filly La Toucques, 3 yrs, the winner of the French Derby and Oaks, leaves Middleham on Saturday, for Baden- Baden, under the care of Mr A. Briggs and Doyle. The latter will pilot her tot her engagements. The mare, we may add, will not be entered for the Doncaster Cup. ROARING.— We have received a communication relative to Mr Cattrall's letter on " The New Operation for Roaring,'' that appeared last week. It is, however, far too full of personalities and written in much too offensive a style to admit of insertion in our columns. LUDLOW RACES.— The acceptances at this meeting— which takes place on Friday next— are much better than heretofore, and the course— one of the finest in England— is in beautiful condition. A good meeting is anticipated, as parties can easily " get on" from Derby to Shrewsbury on Thursday night, and on to Ludlow on Friday morning. The racing commences at two o'clock. LICHFIELD RACES.— We are requested to state that the racing at this meeting commences on the first day ( Monday) at a quarter- past two. Visitors to these races next week will, we are informed, find the new Grand Stand completed, with an iron flight of steps erected on the roof, commanding an excellent view of the entire running. The Ring, in which a platform has been erected, is considerably enlarged, and the course widened from the half mile post to the winning chair. A train leaves London at nine a. m., arriving at Lichfield at 1: 30. The course is in very good going order since the recent rains. We have received a view of the King William Town ( South Africa) Grand Stand and Race Course, from Mr S. Hall, the hon sec of the South African Turf Club. The Stand will accommodate upwards of 1,400 people, and the range of stabling at the back consists of twenty loose boxes. The course is an am- phitheatre of hills, and all relaid with turf a mile and a half round, the cost of which has been over £ 1,400. The income for the first year has been £ 820; 20 per cent dividend is allowed to the shareholders, the balance given in plates. There are two meetings held during the year, at which all the best colonial bred horses and imported ones may be seen. Newmarket rules are Btrictly enforced. THE MEETINGS OF THE PAST A& D FORTHCOMING WEEKS- The rising meeting at Steckton, unlike the merry gatherings at Egham and Oxford, was productive of many incidents bearing on the future, for if the two year old races, won respectively by Lady of Coverham, Apennine, Prince Arthur, Harvest Mell, and Ghillie Callum, told us no more than could have been gathered at York, the performances of Change, Trust, National Guard, Boreaiis, Old Orange Girl, and La Toucques had to be closely watched by those interested ii? the forthcoming Doncaster St Leger— which event, however, an analysis of their doings will only make more complicated, as it is impossible to obtain from them anything like an accurate measure of the three cracks— Lord Clifden, Queen Bertha, and The Ranger. Change's easy defeat of Trust, when giving him 21b more weight than Golden Pledge did at York, detracted somewhat from the latter's merits, although there was no comparison, in our opinion, with the style in which the two performances were accomplished ; but the clever defeat of Change by Boreaiis certainly makes her chance of carrying off the St Leger equal to that of Golden Pledge on paper. National Guard won his engagement as easily as could be expected considering his backward condition, and we deem his pretensions at Doncaster to be more formidable than the betting would indicate, although his performance cannot be set down as a good one, neither of his opponents having the smallest claims to being considered St Leger horses, and the majority gave him weight. The easy defeat of Old Orange Gill by La Toucques was the greatest staggerer of the week, as it would make The Ranger a storie behind a good horse, his recent running with the Girl completely ignoring the defeat of the French filly three months ago, for it may happen the shorter course was as suitable to Mr Bowes's as to Mr Montgomery's filiy. Nevertheless Old Orange Girl certainly did not gallop with that freedom which gained her so many admirers at York, and when we see her be- hind a moderate horse like Newchureh it is palpable she is not the same filly that ran The Ranger to a neck, and beat the third for the Derby half a length. The forthcoming week's meetings are too numerous for either to achieve any very great success, as the professionals will have to be divided, one division having Lichfield on Monday and Tues- day, Derby on Wednesday and Thursday, and Ludlow on Friday, to occupy them— while another will proceed to Exeter for the two days' sport on Tuesday and Wednesday, and probably wind up at Weymouth on Thursday and Friday. The attractions at Baden- Baden will, however, considerably thin the ranks of those taking either route ; the little meetings at King's Lynn ( Norfolk) and Ayr, on Thursday and Friday, the former, " under the patronage of H. R. H. the Prince of Wales," comprising the other " fixtures" for the week. The Devon and Exeter Meeting, which takes place at Haldon, under the management of Mr T. Marshall as clerk of the course, and Mr J. Clench as secretary, has not such a brilliantprogramme as last year, one of the two year old races— the Exeter Stakes- having been dropped, and the entries and acceptances for the eight items completed are below the mark, only seven accepting for the Devonshire Stakes, a handicap over two iniles and a dis- tance, wherein Gardener, 5 yrs, 9st lib ( 51b penalty), is at the head of affairs, and he is giving 111b for the year to Costa, who has only to put in an appearance to be dangerous, although we would sooner put our trust in the Belle of Yorkshire, 3 yrs, 5st 121b, who showed some little form in the Queen's Plate, wherein the Miranda fllly beat Paste, in the July week at New- market. The Haldon Plate may fall- to the lot of Ring, who has every- thing to fear from Southampton in the Ladies' Plate; but an ac- ceptance having to be declared for the Dawlish Stakes, we know not where to go for our ally, unless to Surbiton. The County Cup, two miles and a half, Golden Dust may be just good enough to wfn in the absence of Dictator, as she was before Michel Grove for the Queen's Plate at Egham, although neither got within hail of the winner, Gibraltar. The Mamhead Stakes, for two year olds, is the richest prize to be won at the meeting, and the Mcestissima filly ( 9st), Hengist ( 8st 101b), Diorned ( 8st 71b), Faith ( 9st), and Vacuna ( 8st 41b), have all shown pretensions to contend for it, the form of Hengist being the best, and if he has but recovered from the accident that befel him while en route to Lewes, the weights should ensure his triumph, Diomed having performed badly on his last appearance in public. The Nursery Plate looks a good thing for Heber, and previous running will doubtless bring to light something equally good for the Devon and Exeter Club Stakes. The Weymouth races will also have a shining light thrown on them at Exeter, and we can only remark that Violet is best in for the Melcombe Handicap. The Lichfield programme embraces fourteen items, and of the half dozen set for Monday five are completed, including the Staffordshire Stakes, one mile and a furlong, which Erin go Bragh, 3 yrs, 8st, is good enough to win if " asked," Revolver, 3 yrs, 7st 71b, standing next in our estimation. For the Champagne Stakes Practitioner is penalised 71b, and he has everything to fear from Dawdle, who is equally partial to the half a mile. The Beaudesert Welter Cup one of Lord Uxbridge's pair- General Hess and Liston— may just get through ; but the winners of the Tamworth Plate and City Stakes having to be sold, we will not guess at their probable destination. The Staffordshire Stakes will prove the best guide for the Gold Cup, although the Tippler and one of Mr Hunt's could sorely trouble the best that race may produce. For the Flying Stakes there is quite a host out of Wadlow's stable handicapped, and not one of them has the appearance of being hardly dealt with, so that the selected must become very " warm." The Tyke, at 7st, is one of the most likely to win the Nursery; and the Pretty Girl filly's 71b allowance ought to take her home first for the two and three year old Sweepstakes, as Cadeau now gives her 331b. For the Derby Meeting the bill of fare is fully up to the ave- rage, nine of the thirteen events to be decided having been already completed, and for the majority the entries are considerably above the average, there being fifteen left in for the Chatsworth Stakes, one mile and a half. Oldminster, 5 yrs, 8st 71b, has escaped a penalty, and having given nearly 2st to Change and Jack o' Hearts at Wolverhampton, he must beat all the heavy weights, Doncaster, 6 yrs, 7st 91b, being the only one of the old horses likely to trouble him, and he might give way to his stable companion, Tippler, 3 yrs, 7st, who is equally good- looking, supposing him to be as good as Erin go Bragh, who ran Doncaster to half a length at York, with only 41b between them. Donny- brook, 3 yrs, 6st 61b, is the best of the others, and if his party are really in earnest when backing him for the St Leger he ought not only to beat Doncaster, Oldminster, and Tippler here, but everything else, and very easily, the next in our estimation being the Danebury champion. The Chesterfield Stakes, a six furlong two year old race, might fall to the share of Greenland, as he claims a 71b allowance, and the penalised Garotter has shown out of all form latterly, the best of the others being Loafer, and he is penalised 51b. The Nursery Plate displays Wee Aggie and Jane Shore among the turned loose lot, and they have most cause to fear the brown jacket of Mr Barber, who has The Clown and another in the Trial Stakes, which he can easily make sure of. The Grand Stand Plate, a half- mile spin, is subject to previous running, as is also the Donnington Plate, one of the items in the second day's list, with a most numerous entry. The Harrington Plate has twenty subscribers, inclusive of The Clown ( 9st lib), Garotter ( 9st lib), The Beaver ( 9st 31b), Persua- sion ( 8st 121b), Cceur de Lion ( 9st lib), Cranbury ( 9st lib), and Rigolboche ( 8st 21b), The Clown beat Rigolboche and Cceur de Lion on worse terms than the above weights at Brighton, and The Beaver has Persuasion apparently safe, as the latter was beaten at Wolverhampton by Faith, who was only second to The Beaver at Wye; consequently, it looks" like a race between The Clown, The Beaver, and Cranbury, and it can- not be otherwise than a near thing between the two first- named, brilliantly as The Clown has done of late, Mulberry, who won at Oxford, having also been beaten by The Beaver in Kent. The Chatsworth Stakes, one mile, is a handicap, with Doncaster at the top of the tree, giving 201b to Stockinger, who ought to keep him safe, and has little to fear on paper beyond Dr Syntax, who might prove to be in reserve for something better. The Bretby 8takes is at the mercy of Mr W. G. Craven, and the other events have yet to close. The Ludlow, King's Lynn, and Western Meeting ( at Ayr) pro- grammes we dare not discuss, the horses engaged at the first- named place having plenty to do beforehand at Lichfield and Derby, to which meetings it is almost supplementary. SALE OF THE EASBY STUD. This stud, which was disposed of in one lot by Mr Jaques on the 28th of July to Mr C. Winteringham, was put up by auction, by Mr John Wetherell, at Easby Hall, near Richmond, Yorkshire ( the residence of B. M. Jaques, Esq), on Monday last. The sale commenced a little after three, but the attendance of buyers was very scanty, and it was generally admitted that a great mistake had been made in not having it at York last week, or at Doncaster during the September meeting. The brood mares and foals, horses in training, j'earlings, and the stallion High Treason, alto- gether amounted to twenty- two lots, but Saltant, Weatherwise, Stiff, Louis Napoleon, and Nothing More did not belong to the Easby stud at all, although in the catalogue. The entire stud was purchased by Mr C. Winteringham for the sum of 3,600gs, which undoubtedly is a good bargain. Mr Jaques has been a breeder of blood stock" and the owner of race horses for more than twenty years, and his decline is much to be regretted. His success as a breeder has been greater than as an owner of race horses. The sale was a complete failure, only four out of the twenty- two lots advertised having been disposed of. The following were bought in:— Eleanor, 35gs; Weatherwise, 28gs; Apennine, l, 450gs; and Harvest Mell, 600 guineas. There were no bids for the stallion High Treason, the brood mares Leoline, Ruination, Stuff and Nonsense ( with colt foal by Footstool), The Shadow ( with colt foal by The Hadji), and Lady Holberson; or the fol- lowing " horses in training and yearlings:''— Entremet, 4 yrs ; Trump Queen, 3 yrs; Laomedon, 2 yrs; Stiff, 2 yrs; Louis Napoleon, 2 yrs; Nothing More ( yearling colt); yearling filly by Windhound out of Leoline, and yearling colt by Saunterer out of Wise Woman.

The former, who is struck out of all his engage- ments in England, goes to Leipsic; Lachesis is gone abroad, and Retento has gone to Ireland. STOCKTON RACES. Stewards: Right Hon the Earl of Derby, Right Hon the Earl de Grey and Ripon, Right Hon Lord Adolphus Vane Tempest, M. P.; J. Bowes, H. F. Beaumont, and G. E. Copley, Esqs. Judge: Mr R. Johnson. Clerk of the Course and Secretary: Mr T. Craggs. Starter: Mr T. M'George, jun ( for Mr T. Marshall). A three days' race meeting fifty miles north of York, and imme- diately following the August Meeting, can only be sustained by the indefatigable exertions of its promoters, and go industriously have the committee of Stockton Races worked during the last few years that the reunion is now one of the greatest held in the north of England. Its natural advantages are many, for, in addition to the ground selected being so well suited to the purposes of racing, Stockton is within an easy ride of the most extensive training quarters in Yorkshire. Thus the £ 1,300 so liberally subscribed this year by the well- wishers of the meeting was bound to attract some good horses, in despite of so many of those engaged in the principal stakes having been " run through'' at York, taking which into consideration the fields were more than respectable, and the racing also in many instances of the most interesting description. A better ring, too, than formerly was made by the reduction in the price of admission to the capacious Stand and enclosure, which increased the attendance thereto— if it did not the receipts— on the firs; day; and there was aUoa strong muster " out- side."' Just before proceeding to the scene of operations the clouds assumed a most threatening aspect, arid they did some- thing more than threaten just after the Stockton Handicap was decided, for the rain came down steadily and persistently, and continued almost incessantly till long after the day's sports were concluded. The card embraced seven items, the first on the list being the Trial Stakes, for which the four entered all went to the post, and three of them were rather freely backed at prices ranging trom 6 to 4 to 2 to 1 each, Entremet, Belladrum ( sister to Mel- sonby), and Balderstone all holding the position of first favourite in turn; and it is hard to say which of the two first named had the call at the finish. Alexandra, the recently- named filly by Neville out of Widgeon's dam, who won a Selling Handicap at Ripon, had no friends at 10 to 1, and was last all the way in the race; but another two year old, Balderstone, stayed the mile better than did the three year old Belladrum, who had shot her bolt at the distance, and lett Entremet to light, it out with the youngster, whom she beat easily at the finish, but without ob- taining a claimant at the stipulated 300 sovs, which was the selling price of all the four candidates. The Cleveland Stakes stood next on the card, and of the seven competitors, the White- wall stable supplied the favourite in Tooi Tooi, a filly by Stockwell out of Cypriana, who came out with almost as great a reputation as did Early Purl in this same event last year, having been so " highly tried," on dit, that the public form of Saragossa, Harvest Mell, Dawdle, and Lady of Coverham, gave neither a chance with her. Gondola, another debutante ( who was not backed for money, although she galloped well), and a colt by Wiridhound out of Mary Jane, in the same stable as Lady of Coverham, made up the field; and Tooi Tooi was thought good enough to lay any amount upon at evens, her friends being so numerous that at last 5 to 1 was obtainable " bar one," after some money had been entrusted to Lady of Coverham at a point less. The others backed in earnest were Dawdle and Sara- gossa, the liberal odds of 6 to 1— in some cases a point extra— being laid against the latter, who looked like landing them until can noned against by the Mary Jane colt at the turn into the straight, and sent on to her head. Grimshaw was very nearly upset, and greatly chagrined at the contretemps, which he asserted Whiteley might have avoided. Saragossa was lying close to the rails at the time, just behind Tooi Tooi and Gondola, almost level with the Mary Jane colt, and althongh she for a moment looked formidable on the decline of the favourite ( the first off and about the first beaten), the lost ground was never recovered, the Mary Jane colt's companion, Lady of Coverham, who was last until coming round the bend, obtaining the lead at the distance, and winning very cleverly at last. On the complaint of G. imsliaw, Whiteley was taken before the stewards during the afternoon, but they ruled that the mishap was unavoidable. The field for the Stockton Han- dicap, in the absence of Lothians' King, Brighton, Weatherwise, and Comet, who were on the ground, dwindled down to five, Comet and Weatherwise being reserved for their engagements later in the afternoon, while the owner of Lothians' King in- formed us just before the race that he was " coupling," and could not run. Of the five competitors, Char. ge and Flytrap opened equal favourites at about 2 to 1 each, the majority being ignorant of the fact that the iatter carried a 51b penalty, but on some support being awarded to Trust at 3 to 1, and Sarah Ann at 5 to 1— the public, we fancy, being more sweet on the latterthan her own party— as much aso to 2 was laid on the field until a heavy commission was executed in favour ef Change, who left off so " warm'' that 3 to 1 was obtainable about anj thing else. Bonny Breast Knot was friendless, and never showed in the race, which was confined, on the retirement of Sarah Ann when fairly in the straight ( she having made all the running up to that point), to Change and Trust, the former having the best of it all the way from the distance, and winning with something to spare. Fly- trap was a wretched third, and the others passed the post pulling up, Sarah Ann finishing absolutely last. The Harry Fowler Stakes brought out Entremet for the secoHd time during the day, and being on her own course this time she was strongly fancied, as was also Calabria. There was a long delay at the start, owing to the fractiousness of Unfashionable Beauty, which was rendered more tedious by the rain falling heavily during the whole time that was " cut to waste," but when they did get away the race was soon over, Entremet sailing home three lengths in front of Cala- bria, who ran fast for half a mile, but tired perceptibly at the finish, the others finishing so wide apart that the judge placed all that passed the chair. There being only two runners for the Selling Stakes some portion of the lost time was recovered, the contest exciting very little interest, as the talent seemed afraid to bet— for which, however, there was very little time allowed, as the pair were soon off, Wee Aggie waiting till within a few strides, and winning, without being extended, by a neck, although the fund was only benefited 14 sovs by her being put up at auction afterwards, as she was bought in for 44gs. The six runners for the Sixth Biennial included one of the St Leger outsiders, National Guard, who was backed for some money at York; and when having the best of the weights with the Comet, Erin go Bragh, and Manfred, and meeting Sauterelle and Stockman on even terms, it was not surprising that he should be " potted," despite his beefy appearance, or that he should win all the way. Still, it was the universal opinion that his victory was not a St Leger performance, Erin go Bragh having run so well with him for a long way when giving him 111b, and 30 to 1 was offered against him for the Doncaster event as he returned to " weigh in." The officials having worked industriously to make up for lost time, the eight competitors for the half mile Town Plate were ready a quarter of an hour before the time appointed; but owing to one of them, Thornton, having fallen and thrown his jockey while proceeding to the post there was another delay. It was at one time feared the accident was a very serious one, as Lawrence was carried back to the Stand in an insensible state, but, happily, it was discovered that he was only stunned by the fall, as no limbs were broken, and a lacerated arm was the principal injury sustained. Thornton did not go to the post after all, and the race resulted in the easy triumph of the tavourite, Newchureh, who wound up the day greatly to the satisfaction of the gentlemen, who hardly missed one of the seven winners. St Leger betting there was none during the afternoon, and all the horses talked about besides National Guard were Lord Clifden and Golden Pledge, 11 to 1 being offered against the iatter, and 5 to 1 wanted about his lordship. On Wednesday there was a vast improvement in the weather, the rain having kept oft all day, and there was a stronger attendance both outside and inside the enclosure, the card containing many interesting items, the Hardwicke Stakes, the chief two year old race of the meeting, being set first fordecision. Owing, however, to the form displayed by Apennine at York, and his 81b allow- ance, he had only five opponents, the best of which was Syren, who met him with 31b the worst of the weights, three of the remainder hailing from J. Osborne's— Dr Rooke, Lord Adol- phus, and Bellasius. The latter is a big, coarse gentleman by Lord Fauconberg out of Switch, and made his first appearance, and Dr Rooke carried a penalty, which put his chance quite out, so that the hopes of the fielders centred in Lord Adolphus, the pretty little Wee Aggie being out of her element in such com- pany. The affair was, in fact, booked a " certainty" for Apennine, on whom 5 to 2 was freely laid, until some money was put on Syren at 4 to 1, when the odds declined to 2 to 1, the fielders finishing very staunch at that figure. Apennine was last off, but reached the front when fairly in the straight, had the race in hand at the distance, and easily defeated Syren at last, Wee Aggie beating all the outsiders by several lengths. The Great Northern Leger wasquite an event, when bringing together Change, Boreaiis, and Miss Armstrong, who all had hosts of friends, some money being entrusted to Change and Boreaiis at 7 to 4 each. They held the positions of first favourite in turn until just before the flag fell, when Change had a decided call, 6 to 4 being the highest offer against liiin, while 2 to 1 was obtain- able in most cases about Boreaiis. Miss Armstrong had many backers at 3 to 1 ; but Manfred, Honest John, and Fanfaron were all deemed out of it. The race proved this idea to be correct, as they were beaten half a mile from home. Miss Armstrong, on the rails, made the running to the distance, but soon gave way when challenged by Boreaiis, and Change coming on on the outside of the latter, the pair ran a pretty race home, Boreaiis, who always had the best of it, winning without any great effort. She was ridden without spurs, and the performance was certainly an im- provement on that at Wolverhampton, the price taken about her before the defeat there— 100 to 6 and 20 to 1— being booked several times after the race. The Lambton Plate, a new two year old race, was successfully inaugurated, as it attracted seven to the post, the lot being of a very good class and including two who figured in public for the first time— Coup de Grace, a filly by Newminster out of Ellen Tree, and Laomedon, a colt by Weather- bit out of Athena Pallas. The latter is a stable companion of Harvest Mell and Apennine, and took everybody's fancy, being as racing- like as any of his opponents. But the talents were to a man on Prince Arthur, who won a fast run race very easily, Sara- gossa, persevering to the end, beating Laomedon ( who was last off) four lengths fer the 50 sovs second money. Eleven contested the Elton Juvenile Stakes, a handicap for two year olds, and the betting was very heavy upon it, Lyra and Harvest Mell ( said to have been disappointed at York) opening hot favourites at 3 to 1 each; but the former soon had the call, and touched 5 to 4 once, which sent Harvest Mell to 4 and 5 to 1. At these odds, however, and finally a point less, he was backed for plenty of money, and Inverness and Theobalda coming in for a good share of support, Lyra gradually declined to 2 to 1. There was a long delay at the starting- post, and " no end" of abortive attempts to get away, in one of which Lyra came round the bend right into the straight by herself; but when the flag finally fell the lot got well away, with the exception of Alice Grey, Lyra looking well until she took the turn wide and lost several lengths, leaving the three remaining favourites, with Prescription, Skylark, and Fauconberg, to finish the race; and a magnificent finish it was, Harvest Mell obtaining the best of Theobalda about fifty yards from the chair, and winning by a neck, while Prescription, only half a length behind Mr Bowes's filly, was run to a head for third place by Skylark, Fauconberg and Inverness running home close to the latter. The Thornaby Selling Plate benefited the race fund £ 100 by the sale of the win- ner, Sledmere, who " won all the way," and the day's proceedings were brought to a close by a hot favourite, Lady Bird, carrying off the United Hunters' Stakes after a show of a race with Miss Taft, the second favourite, Craggsman being beaten a long way. The fielders had had a worse day than on Tuesday, and many in- dulged in the idea there would be an objection to the last " hot- un," on the grounds that Mr Price had been a professional and was not qualified to ride; but no protest was lodged at the scale, either before or after the race, and the event was got over, fortu- nately, without a dispute. The St Leger betting of the day was unworthy of notice, a bet of 400 to 10 against National Guard, and offers of 100 to 8 against either Avenger or Golden Pledge, form- ing the only noteworthy incidents, beyond the support given to Boreaiis after her race. Thursday's card was the most promising one'of the three issued, although fears were entertained that the elements would be again unpropitious, as it rained heavily from an early hour up to twelve o'clock in the day, but a change for the better took place just as the time arrived for proceeding to the course, and the afternoon was tolerably fine until five of the seven races were de- cided. It was resolved, for the convenience of all parties, to commence one hour earlier than on the two preceding days, and at a quarter past one eleven were at the post for the Garbutt Nur- sery Pedestrian Handicap, the same number as for Wednesday's two year old handicap ; a close race betweea Ghillie Callum and two of the favourites ( Ciaxton and Theobalda) resulting in the triumph of the first real " outsider" of the meeting, to the delight of the fielders, many of whom could not believe in their good fortune ; as, from the similarity of the colours of the winner and Theobalda, it was thought the latter had won. Dawdle, who had the call at starting, was dead beaten at the distance, and finished a very bad fourth. The Stockton ( Stewards') Cup proved more successful as a handicap than a weight for age race, as it brought out ten animals of, in most cases, a good class, including the French filly La Toucques and Old Orange Girl, whose meeting was supposed to have a great deal to do with the St Leger, as both had been second to The Ranger on different occasions ; but we should be sorry to trust the " line" for much, as, in addition to La Toucques being greatly improved since she met TheRanger, the mile course was a very different one to the mile and three quarters she and Old Orange Girl met Mr Savile's horse over. The start was afair one except in the case of Harvest Mell, wholost a length or two; and La Toucques, taking a clear lead at the dis- tance, from whence Old Orange girl was not persevered with, fairly ran away from her opponents, and in some measure com- pensated Mr Montgomery for the loss of the Goodwood Cup, by securing for him a work of art, of which no more need be said than that it is acredit to the establishment of the MessrsEmanuel. It is a group in silver, representing the meeting of De Tracy and the Lady Rowena, the subject being taken from Scott's Ivanhoe, and was unanimously admired by all the connoisseurs present. After the race as much as 6 to 1 was laid against Old Orange Girl's stable companion, Queen Bertha, for the St Leger, and her in- different performance acted as a steadier to those who might have been anxious to back The Ranger ( who only beat her a neck at York) on the strength of his defeat of La Toucques in the Grand Prize of Paris, for 6 to 1 was repeatedly offered against him with- out meeting with a response. The Claret Stakes did not attract any of the " cracks" entered. Ace of Clubs having gone wrong, it was said, and his place taken by his stable companion, Welcome. He, however, was not in a condition to give 101b to Piccador, the latter winning his maiden race in a canter. Bonny Breast Knot, who was sent home after the handicap and had got to Thirsk before it was known Ace of Clubs would not run. when she was telegraphed for to return, barely got past the winning chair in time to save her distance and her stake, having thrown a plate during the race. There was another respectable field for the Middlesborough Handicap, but the favourite, Upperhand, never gave his opponents a chance after he got his head fairly in front; and the three remaining events, the Two Year Old Biennial, Grand Stand Stakes, and Corporation Plate, were all won by the first or second favourites, Apennine having no opponent worthy of the name in the first- named, although Balderstone stuck more closely to him than was palatable to those who laid 20 to 1 against J. Osborne's " second string" ( Vanessa being in the same stable.) The St Leger betting that took place will be found quoted below ; and it will be perceived that it was of the most unimportant character. In concluding our notice of the meeting, we cannot helptestifying to its unequivocal success, so far as the racing was concerned, the proceedings being conducted in the most business- like manner throughout, as Mr Craggs, the clerk ef the course, was indefatigable as ever in the performance of his duties, while the working committee ( C. Trotter, Esq, chairman ; J. Dods, Esq, J. R. Walker, Esq, and W. Graham, jun), did their utmost to make things pleasant, J. Dods, Esq, as usual, entertaining a large circle of the supporters of the meeting in princely style. The attendance during the three days showed an increase on last year's numbers, the Stewards' Stand being graced by a goodly number of the fair sex, and the following strong array of the names of the principal visitors will display that the aristocratic element was in pretty good force :— Duke of St Albans, Marquis of Ailesbury, Marquis de Talon, the Earl of Zetland, Viscount Falkland, Lord Edward Bruce, Lord Bingham, Count Damesceold, Hon Charles Lane Fox, Hon Gustavus Hamilton Russell, 8ir Wm Codrington, Bart.

Belladrum made play, followed by Balderstone, Entremet going on third, arid Alexandra last. In this order they ran to the last turn, where Balderstone took up the running, with Belladrum in waiting upon him, and Entremet next. Belladrum was beaten below the distance, and Entremet in the next fifty yards deprived the young one of the lead, and won easily by a length; two lengths between the second and third ; Alexandra was tailed off. There was no bid for the winner. The CLEVELAND STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 100 added, for two year olds; colts 8st- 101b, fillies and geldings 8st 71b ; allowances and penalties; the second received 20 sovs out of the stakes; T. Y.

Thus they ran until entering the straight, where Lady of Coverham began to draw forward, and depriving Dawdle of the lead within the distance, won very cleverly by a length and a half; a head between the second and third; Saragossa was a bad fourth, Gondola fifth, Tooi Tooi sixth, and the Mary Jane colt next. The Mary Jane colt ran against Saragossa in the straight, and knocked her on her knees. The case came before the Stewards, but it turned out to be accidental. The STOCKTON TRADESMEN'S HANDICAP of 15 sovs each, 10 ft, and 3 if declared, with 100 added ; winnei- 3 extra ; the second received 20 sovs out of the stakes; two miles; 41 subs, 22 of whom pay 3 sovs each.

Trust jumped off with the lead, but was soon passed by Sarah Ann and Change, Bonny Breastknot lying fourth, and Fly- trap last. In this order they ran to the mile and a half post, where Trust took the second place, Change going on third, Flytrap fourth, and Mr I'Anson's mare last. Sarah Ann now took a long lead, and maintained it to the straight, where she was beaten, and Change went on with the running, followed by Trust; and Flytrap, and won easily by a length ; very bad third. Sarah Ann was beaten off. The HARRY FOWLER STAKES ( Handicap) of 5 sovs each, with 70 added; winners extra; the second received 15 sovs out of the stakes; T. Y. C. ( from the Red Post); 20 subs.

After a long delay at the post they got away, Lady Lousa leading, with Calabria, Fast Runner, and Entremet next, but before reaching the bend Fast Runner rushed to the front, followed by Calabria and Lady Louisa. Fast Runner cried " enough" at the distance, and Calabria was thereon left with the lead, but was deprived of it half way up by En- tremet, who won in a canter by three lengths; bad third. Fast Runner did not pass the post. The SOUTH STOCKTON ( Selling) STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 25 added, for all ages; T. Y. C. ( Red Post); 3 subs.

Doyle 6 Betting: Even on National Guard, 9 to 2 agst Manfred, and 5 to 1 agst Comet. National Guard cut out the work at a good pace, with Manfred, Erin go Bragh, and Stockman follewing in the order named, Comet and Sauterelle being the last two. The favourite soon took a long lead, and with the exception of Erin go Bragh heading him in coming round the last turn for a few strides only, after which he resigned. The Guard made all the running, and won very easily by a couple of lengths, Sauterelle passing her horses one by one inside the distance, and finishing second, beating the third a length ; three lengths betwen the third and fourth; Manfred was beaten off. The TOWN PLATE ( Handicap) of 50 sovs, for all ages; winners extra ; straight run in ( half a mile) ; 22 subs. I Colonel Towneley's ch Newchurch, by Newminster, 3 yrs, 6s1121b H. Covey 1 Mr J.

Newchurch jumped off with the lead, was never headed, and won very easily by a length; ahead between the second and third; Who's Who was a bad fourth. Mr C. A. Rodgers's b c Thornton, 2 yrs, 5st 71b ( Lawrence), was weighed for and mounted, but in taking his preliminary canter the colt fell and rolled over his rider, who was taken up insensible, but in the evening he was considerably better.

Syren jumped off with the lead, with Bellasius second, and Wee Aggie third. After the first hundred yards Bellasius took up the running, followed by Syren, and before reaching the bead, Apennine, who was last off, took the third place. This order was maintained to the distance, where Bellasius was beaten, and Apennine took up the running and won easily by a length; same distance between the second acd third; Lord Adolphus was a bad fourth, Bellasius fifth, and Dr Rooke last. The pace was bad. The GREAT NORTHERN LEGER of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 100 added, for three year olds; colts 8st 101b, fillies or geldings 8st61b; certain penalties and allowances; the second received 50, and the third 10 sovs out of the stakes; one mile and a half; 57 subs.

Miss Armstrong cut out the work at a good pace, with Manfred second, Honest John third, Fanfaron fourth, Boreaiis fifth, and Change last. In this order they ran for the first half mile, when Change took the third place, and Fanfaron dropped into the rear. Miss Armstrong held her lead to the distance, where she was in difficulties, and Boreaiis took up the running; she was immediately challenged by the favourite, and a fine race home ended in favour of Mr I'Anson's little mare by a neck, Change never quite getting up ; Miss Armstrong was a bad third; Fanfaron tailed off. The LAMBTON PLATE of 100 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 25 sovs each, for two year olds; colts 8st 101b, fillies 8st 81b ; the second received 50 sovs, and the third saved his stake; seven furlongs. * Mr J.

Gondola jumped off with the lead, followed by Saragossa and the favourite till just approaching the bend, where Prince Arthur rushed to the front, was never afterwards headed, and won very easily by a couple of lengths; four lengths between the second and third, and a head the third and fourth. War Dance and Laomedon did not get very well off; the former was beaten a long way.

A delay of more than half an hour took place, in which at least twenty failures were made, many of which were caused by Found Again— either horse or rider, or both, did not feel dis- posed, it would appear, to leave the post. At length they got away, Prescription leading, with Harvest Mell, Lyra, and Faucon- berg well laid up. In this order they ran to " the bend, where Lyra, running wide, lost several lengths. Prescription continued her lead to the distance, where she was joined by Theobalda, Harvest Mell, Inverness, Fauconberg and Skylark; a fine race home ended in favour of Harvest Mell by a neck ; half a length between the second and third, and a head the third and fourth. Fauconberg was fifth, and Inverness sixth, well up; Miss Tees was seventh, and Lyra next. The THORNABY ( Selling) PLATE of 50 sovs, for two and three year olds; five furlongs. Mr J.

The talent were somewhat at fault on the issue of the ! next event, for Lady Derby, rather a warm favourite, was bowled over by Baliverne, who has run " no end of times'' lately without scoring a win ; nor did her performance to- day tempt buyers to advance anything over the " entered" £ 80, and her gratified owner therefore retained her in his possession. Devotee proved far superior at the weight to the quintette opposed to him in the Welter Stakes, which he won easily, while in the Ankerwycke Stakes Reindeer beat Fletton by a head, al- though within the distance it looked any odds on the latter. The winner brought nothing to the fund, but Fietton was deemed good enough to claim under the Newmarket rule, and goes into Reeves's stable. The Queen's Plate, which wound up the day's sport amidst a severe storm, brought out a dozen runners, an unusual number for a race of this description. The majority of the competitors were, however, used- up animals, including a " screwed- up'' hunter or two, and Gibraltar, who showed improved form at Dover last week, bowled over the leading favourites, Tourist and Golden Dust, by about twenty lengths. Very little was done during the afternoon on the St Leger, for which 9 to 2 was offered against Lord Clifden, and 5 to 1, " bar one.'' Donnybrook was, however, in some request, and advanced from 40 to 1 to 33 to 1. Anything more wretched than the state of the weather, and consequently of affairs in general, on Wednesday, it is impossible to con- ceive, although the attendance was again very large, many being deluded into the notion that the drizzling rain would eventually holdup. Instead of " holding up," however, it came down thicker and faster, rendering speculation of any sort exceedingly difficult. No fewer than thirteen of various ages were telegraphed to start for the Town Plate, half a mile, and the usual delay took place in getting off a large field over such a dis- tance. In the absence of Mr Alexander's Birthday filly, favouri- tism was awarded to her stable companion Xurullo, but the win- 1S ner turned up in Don't Come Late, whom Mr Hodgman only de- B^ KSS^ S^ B^^^ S rss?

Thornton wa » a very bad fourth, and the Travestie Colt- was beaten off. The winner was bought in for 130gs. The UNITED HUNTERS PLATE of 25 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 2 sovs each, for horses that have been regularly hunted during the last season with anyjestablished pack of foxhounds or harriers, absentee. Of the eight starters for the Baron Stakes Han- dicap Outlaw rnd the Maid of the Morn Ally were most fancied, but Wild Huntress, a wiry- looking filly," daugh- ter of Wild Dayrell. beat the lot behind her very" cleverly. The little- fancied Jamaica colt defeated two others for the Railway Stakes, and, entered for £ 30, was bought in for 63; < « id then came the principal item of the day, the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes, for w hich half a dozen started, and Gibraltar, once round ( about one mile and three quarters).

Ace of Trumps was beaten at the distance, and the favourite went on with the lead, followed by Miss Taft, and in this manner the race ended, Lady Bird winning in a canter by a length; very bad third; Craggsman and Dick Swiveller were tailed off.

Taylor ... W. Oram .... G. Noble ,. T. Harrison short distance from home looked winning " all to nothing," but stopped short at the finish, and Morden coming with a desperate rush en Detective, Gibraltar only landed his backers by a head. The nearness of the thing induced many to think that Custanee waa taken by surprise, but he averred that the horse was tiring so rapidly ai-. d hanging in his hands that he was in reality afraid to " ride him home.'' The favourite, Cadiz, won the Magna Charta Stakes, and, entered for £ 100, was bought in for 110; and in the Scurry Handicap, for which Devotee was most fancied, Fletton scored his first win for his new owner, and terminated the racing. Mr J. Manning officiated here for the first time as Clerk of the Scales, in which office he rendered good service.

Sarah Ann and Manchester were the next two. Immediately after the race Uppertiand was struck out, to Mr Johnson, of all his engagements.

Once a favourite country meeting, patronised by the leading gentry, and popular enough to induce a visit from the " Sailor King," William the Third, this gathering, although still attractive enough, has, like most meetings of its class within easy railway access of the metropolis, changed phases of late years, and become more noticeable for the quantity than the quality of the company that " assist" at it. Certain difficulties must of necessity attend the management of meetings like Egham, which is, however, susceptible of many improvements, and one at least is most imperative. No one who was present on Tuesday and Wednesday last could fail to notice the inefficient man- ner in which the course was kept and cleared, and the inability of the local police to maintain proper order. We do not make these remarks with any wish to disparage the men on duty, who doubtless did their best, and are undoubt- edly useful enough in their own district under ordinary circum- stances ; but it would be preposterous to suppose they are " up" to controlling a London mob, and hence pickpockets and scamps in general betake themselves to Egham on the race days, greatly to the annoyance and discomfort, if nothing else, of the respect- able portion of the visitors. Until the metropolitan police are em- ployed here, as at Epsom, Ascot, and Hampton, confusion and pickpockets must be in the ascendancy. Besides, it is not right to draw the rural police from their ordinary duties, where they are useful, in order to thrust them into a position where they are of little or no service whatever. The morning of Tuesday was delightfully fine, and the at- tendance was immense, but there was a great falling off in the leading patrons of the Turf ; this, however, is partially attribu- table to the more attractive sport of various kinds elsewhere. The day, fine as it opened, was not, however, destined to continue so, for heavy showers set in, and at the close a thunderstorm took place, drenching many of the spectators to their skins, and as the temporary stands afforded but slight protection, the scene became one of universal discomfort. The sport was for the most part of the ordinary plating kind, and not of a nature to de- mand any lengthened comments. A field of eight met for the first event, the Betting Stand Plate, and the " se- lected" Bolero defeated Baliverne by a neck. There was still less difficulty in " picking the winner" for the suc- ceeding race, the King John Stakes, for Mr Alexander's „ racei clipping filly by Teddington out of Birthday, who has marvel lously improved since her first appearance at Harpenden, and . _ _ who now stands nearly sixteen hands high, had nothing to oppose j fourth, and close to the favourite Detective and Sycophant were her but De Grey and Oberon, whom she beat " anyhow" without I nearly abreast. After running about a mile in the order stated The QUEEN'S PLATE of lOOgs; three year olds 8st 51b, four yst Tib, five, six, and aged 9= t 121b ; two miles and a distance.

At the first attempt an excellent start was effected, Tourist, Moun- tain Buck, Golden Dust, Michel Grove, Bochet, and Gibraltar being the first to show in advance, and they ran in close company in about the order named for a mile, when Gibraltar began to draw to the front, and, in rounding the bottom turn, Tom Payne, Castle Hill, and The Drone were in difficulties, and were soon a long way in the rear. At the gap Gibraltar ebtained a slight lead, and, having shaken off Golden Dust, he came on by himself, and won easily by twenty lengths, the majority of the riders, seeingtheir chance hopeless, not persevering to the end : Golden Dust beat Tourist by half a length for second; Flax gelding was fourth, Mountain Buck fifth, and Michel Grove sixth. The Drone, Castle Hill, and Tom Payne w ere the last three, the two latter being beaten a quarter of a mile. WEDNESDAY.— The TOWN PLATE ( Handicap) of 70 sovs half a mile. MrG.

Don't Come Late, Duke of Cambridge, Queen Elizabeth, and Xurullo laid in front through- out, the former with a slight lead, while two lengths from this lot followed Cadiz, Fletton, and Deerfoot at the head of the ruck. Don't Come Late continued the lead throughout and won by a neck ; a head each between the second, third, and fourth. Cadiz, who was close up, was fifth. Lady Derby was sixth, the last two being Fletton and Miss Vivian, neither of whom showed to ad- vantage during the contest.

Maid of Morn filly made the running, with Wild Huntress, Dilston, Outlaw, and Oberon in close attendance, and they ran in the order named to halfway up the distance, when Wild Huntress deprived Maid of Morn of the lead and won easily by a length ; a dead heat for second place between Dilston and Maid of Morn filly. Outlaw was fourth, Oberon fifth, and Overcast sixth ; Land of the West, who was last, was beaten a long way.

The latter, with Dark Lily and Joco, went to the front immediately the signal was given, Gibraltar lying an effort. Although only three runners came to the " scratch" for the Runnymede Stakes, it afforded a very close contest, for Detective and Odine ran a dead heat, while Gamecock finished a good third. A subsequent division of the stakes did away with a final " heat.'' For this race the number of Joco was displayed, although for a very short time only, on the telegraph, a circum- Knight Templar bolted in rounding the turn, taking with him Dark Lily and Joco, and Sycophant then obtained a slight advan- tage, Gibraltar lying second, and Detective third. In passing through " the gap" Gibraltar deprived Sycophant of the com- mand, and very soon afterwards the latter was headed by Detec- tive ; at the distance the favourite had a strong lead, but tiring in BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, AUGUST 30, 1863. o a few strides from home he only won by a head from Detective, who came with a desperate rush at the flHish; Sycophant was a bad third, Joco fourth.

OXFORD RACES- jFl"£? i'ds: The Earl of Westmoreland, Sir C. W. Codrington, ^.- jM Colonel Fane, M. P. Treasurer: Mr J. Stevens, Oxford. Secretary: Mr J. Plowman. Oxford. Judge: Mr Clark, New- market. Handicappers: Messrs Weatherby, London. Clerk of the Course and Starter: Mr T. Marshall, St George's- place, Northampton. Clerk of the Scales : Mr J. Manning, of Newmarket. Old associations and recollections of college life have now so completely linked this meeting to the list of aristocratic gatherings that, under ordinary circumstances, the briefest allusion to its yearly- increasing success might have sufficed for complimental introduction. When, however, reflected that only the other day royalty in person accorded it3 earliest and most gracious recogni- tion of the " seat of learning," beneath whose sombre edifices and domes prince and peer in our own happy time have studied toge- ther in bondsof amity never to be broken, we have, indeed, the fullest scope for congratulation, if not of hope, that at no distant period the visit will be renewed to witness the national sport so ably carried out at Oxford, and in which the heir to the Throne is known to take a warm interest. With the knowledge of this fact, and as a mark of their attachment to his royal highness, the committee, when reviving the races five years ago, established a " Prince of Wales's Plate," which has since been annually contended for. Such being the case, no more suitable commemoration of the visit of the prince and his amiable bride could have been devised than the inauguration on this occasion of the handsome prize bearing the name of the Princess of Wales. The better to promote this object, and add value to the new plate, it was resolved to discon- tinue the Gold Cup— not. hitherto, as far as relates to sport, a very attractive trophy. This and additional subscriptions, which, as usual, flowed in cheerfully and free, placed 200 sovs at disposal, upon the announcement whereof nearly 60 entries were obtained, while, as will be seen, a large field and highly interesting race appropriately crowned this distinguishing even t of the programme. Other events at the meeting likewise filled better than ever, so that alt likely to interfere with the proceedings was the wea- ther, which, from the early part of the week to within an hour or so of commencing on Thursday, was of the most cheerless de- scription. Then, fortunately, the sun shone forth, and the tented scene assumed its wonted gaiety, to the delight of a numerous and fashionable attendance, which doubtless would have been larger but for the notion entertained abroad that the meadow was wet and slushy. The running portion of the ground, except on the far side, was, however, in pretty good order, without scarcely so much as a speck of mud to soil horse or rider. Unlike exhibitions generally, thefunny business came off first— to wit, theTrial Stakes, which, with eight subscribers, only brought two to the post, Rubini and the home- trained Winchester, the latter being started, we opine, for the mere " lark" of the thing, seeing that, as far as chance was concerned, he might as well have remained in the stable, or at all events in his proper sphere— a butcher's cart. The Prince of Wales's Stakes, for two year olds, produced twelve run- ners, but the whole lot were of a very moderate description, though most were backed, but not for very large sums, while the winner turned up in Mulberry, a plain but rather wiry- looking filly, in H. Bopp's stable. Although the Oxfordshire Stakes had an entry of thirty- five horses, only thirteen cried content, and seven came to the scratch. Balham, looking decidedly best in after his performances at Goodwood and Lewes, was made fa- vourite with the public as well as his owner, and, though two or three others were backed for a small sum, the bulk of the money was on the Stockbridge horse, and he won, but notwithout a shak- ing up, by a neck from Odine, who alone stuck to him at the finish. Thirteen showed for the County Members' Plate, of whom Lord of the Manor looked so well up ™ paper that he was backed for heaps of money, the race never being in doubt, for his lordship won very easily. Of nine stripping for the half- mile Selling Plate Lord Coventry's Cosette was backed almost against the field, but was defeated by a head by The Farmer's Daughter filly, whose sale brought 70 sovs to the funds, and Cosette was claimed under the Newmarket rule. The Freemen's Plate of 30 sovs wound up the amusements, and, although it had ten subscribers, only five competitors showed on the occasion, and these were of aflap- ping description. Col Crockett was made the favourite, and he fully justified the support he received, by winning easily. We have but time and space for a mere word respecting Friday's sport, which was throughout of more than average interest. The weather was unexpectedly delightful, and the attendance much larger than that of the day previous. The racing commenced punctually at the appointed time with the Innkeepers' Plate, which was a very interesting and spirited affair, and was carried off by Miss Livingstone, after a very close race with Odine. The Btratton Nursery brought out fourteen runners, and resulted in a dead heat between Glendusk and Heber— two good- looking colts— the farmer of whom cut up so badly on the preceding day as to leave him almost friendless on this occasion. The deciding heat was cleverly won by Heber. The Prince of Wales Stakes brought out an immense field, and to the astonishment of the " knowing ones" was carried off by Lufra, who was scarcely backed. Lord Westmoreland's Usher looked on paper the good thing it actually proved for the Consolation Plate; and the re- mainder of the racing, which calls for no special comment, will be found amply detailed below. THURSDAY, AUG 27.— The TRIAL STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 50 added, for two year olds and upwards ; the winner to be sold for 200 sovs ; if entered for 500 71b extra, if for 100 allowed 51b ; three quarters of a mile ; 8 subs.

The three year old went away with the lead, but it soon becoming evident that thegeldirig was unable to raise even the ghost of a gallop Plumb took a pull, and cantering slowly in front over the remainder of the ground, won, amidst derisive laughter, by a length. The PRINCE or WALES'S STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 50 added, for two year olds; colts 8st 101b, fillies 8st 7ib ; winners extra, with allowances; half a mile; 21 subs.

Two or three failures preceded the start, after which Mulberry on the inside showed in advance, followed in the centre of the course by Lady Fanny Ca- vendish, Gordian Knot. Garotter, and Usher, pretty well together. However, after proceeding in this order for nearly one hundred yards, Fordham took Gordian Knot to the fore, but was in diffi- culties half way up the distance, where Mulberry again took the command, and won easily by two lengths ; bad third. Garotter was fourth, and behind him at the head of the stragglers were Lady Fanny Cavendish, Teneriffe, Verdiere, and Count Batthy- any's colt. The OXFORDSHIRE STAKES ( Handicap) of 15 sovs each, 10 ft, and 5 if declared, with 100 added; winners extra; the second saved his stake; two miles; 35 subs, 21 of whom declared.

They ran in close company, with Balham slightly in advance, for half a mile, when the running was taken up by Nebula, at whose girths on passing the Stand was Church Militant, succeeded by Tourist, the favou- rite, andLoiterer, nearly abreast to the turn beyond, round which the latter, inside, slipped to the fore with a clear lead, Nebula at the same time dropping into the extreme rear with Anaticulus. The advantage thus obtained by the Count's horse was, however, of no lengthened duration, for ' Balham soon drew alongside, followed in the order named by Odine, Tourist, and Mr Golby's horse to the final bend, where Balham headed Loiterer, who nevertheless struggled on gamely, but died away to nothing upon Odine joining the pair within the distance, whence tbe mare also made a not- to- be- denied fight of it, but never reached the favourite, and was defeated after a sharp struggle by a neck. Loiterer cantered in third, but like Church Militant, who was fourth, finished far from the leaders; Nebula and Anaticulus were next; Tourist eased at the straight, being last. The COUNTY MEMBERS' PLATE of 30 sovs, added to a Handicap of 3 sovs each; winners 71b extra; three quarters of a mile; 21 subs. Lord Bateman's Lord of the Manor, by Touchstone, aged, 7st 91b J.

Girdle, Cynic, and Margery were first off, waited on by the favourite and Spicebox to a double distance from home, wlen Lord of the Manor took up the running, and won by fre lengths. Barmaid, going on to the end, headed Cynic at toe Stand, and beat him for second place by a neck; Spicebox being fourth, Margery fifth, and Dux next, but like those in their wake all widely scattered; Cynic broke down badly.

The favourite made play, closely attended by Lady Derby, Rest, and Mr Hodgman's filly for about three hundred yards, when the latter showed in advance, and though challenged by Cosette, who came with a rush in the last few strides, the other ran the longest, and won a fine race by a neck ; bad third ; the Lady Constance filly finished fourth ; the Aspatia colt next. The winner was sold to Mr Green for lOOgs, and goes into Golby's stable ; and Cosette, claimed by Mr Flem- ing, goes into Nightingall's stable.

Aunt Judy made play, in company of Isaac Walton and Dilston, on the right, for aboutone hundred and fifty yards, when the favourite took up the running in the middle of the track, succeeded in a cluster by Heber, Glendusk, Aunt Judy, Petit Oiseau, and Dilston. These were the positions of the front lot to the half- distance, where Mr Saxon's filly resigned the command to Heber, whom Glendusk reached in the last stride, and made a dead heat. Jane Shore, finishing a neck from the pair, beat Aunt Judy, fourth, by the same, the latter at an interval of several lengths being followed by Petit Oiseau and Lorette, at the head of the " spread eagled" division, with Dermet Asthore and Contractor the two last.

With but very trifling delay the flag went down to a magnificent start, all getting away in line, save Damascus, who whipped round as the word was given, ran among the people, and consequently took no part in the race. Tattoo, with Bolero on the far side, was first made out in advance, the Mountain Maid filly next lying up with them, Dolphin and Tom Fool being most conspicuous in the centre, while on their left, as near as could be ascertained, were Suburban, Peahen, Lord of the Manor, and Bohemia. Barely half a mile had been covered in this order, when Lufra, outpaced at the beginning, and occupying a middle position in the ruck, again caught her horses within the distance, deprived Tattoo of the lead, and maintaining it to the end, won a splendid race by a neck. A length off Bolero was third, as far in front of Bohemia, who passed several of the stopping horses at the finish. Dolphin was a bad fifth, Dark Lily sixth, and Lord of the Manor next, the rest being scattered all over the course. Mail Train last.

THE SEPTEMBER MEETING- The second quarter of the current racing season will be fittingly inaugurated next week by the September meeting at the Curragh- Perhaps more interest is generally felt in this reunion than in any other held during the season, owing to the power and form of the two year olds being in most instances fully developed ; and by their performance for the two great events of the year, the Angle- sey and Railway Stakes, their value will be estimated, and their merits fairly ascertained. On Tuesday, Sept 1, after the decision of the Queen's Plate, the Anglesey Stakes will be run for, and so many are reported well and fit, that nearly a moiety of the thirty- two engaged are likely to face the starter's flag. There was one wrong nomination for this event, that of the Marchioness D'Eu, and one death, that of Cutch- a- cutch- choo, by Old Fashion ( late Old Tom) out of Spicy. The following will be found as correct a list of the probable starters, with their riders and trainers, as it was possible to make out up to the time of writing:— STAKTEIIS FOR THE ANGLESEYS. Trainers. Jockeys. Sister to Mlncepie Jno. Dav Salter Filly out of Jane Eyre Zachary H. Grimshaw Lord Douglas Murphy J. Murphy Solon Doucie J. Doyle Blarney J. Grady Custance Bird of Passage Hussey D. Dovle Colt out of Lizzy Jones Gannon Aunt Judy Goater Hibberd Firefly L. Keegan, jun L. Mahon Honey Bee Conolly Dunne Clarina Coulon D. W\ nne Lucky Star Godwin Lynch Colt out of Selina J. Scott Clement Red Hugh Midgeley Gardiner Claret Cup Jones Jones The Little Bear Wadlow W. White A brief discussion of the candidates' pretensions may lead to the discovery of the winner. The first of the public performers with whom it is desirable to deal is Blarney, by Claret, who it will be recollected won both his engagements, the Stand and Stewards" Stakes, cleverly, at the June meeting, and since has gone on to the satisfaction of his trainer, and is in blooming con- dition, and will be piloted by the accomplished Custance, which, coupled with his performances, gives him a great chance ; and as luck has followed his owner so far this season, he may again prove fortunate for this event. Lucky Star, a black colt ( own brother to Twilight), is a magnificent colt, with fine shape, power, and temper, and is highly thought of by the followers of Good- win's stable, where he has been located since the June meeting; and if sent from Newmarket for this engagement in good trim he will be difficult to beat, as, previous to his departure from Rosmore Lodge, his trainer entertained a very high opinion of him, and this fine son of Mountain Deer and Dawn of Day has since gone on improving. Lord Douglas next claims attention, a colt that has also done well since June, and although he won his race for the Waterford Testi- monials in good style, he has only a second rate chance for this engagement, albeit it must be admitted that- he has good racing points, and is bound to run well on Tuesday next. When in backward condition in June the colt by Artillery out of Lizzy ( owners should be fined for not giving names to their horses) ran stoutly for the Waterford Testimonials, and got home a good third, which performance will now be improved on, as he is at present fit and well, and it would not be surprising if on this oc- casion he turned the tables on his then conqueror, Lord Douglas. Sister to Mincepie is dark, and will hail from Danebury, and from her breeding should have powers sufficient to make a good race for this, and should be kept on the safe side. Solon, brother to Soerates, is a fine colt, much larger than his elder brother, and moves well, but unfortunately lately met with a mishap from which he is not sufficiently recovered to compete successfully against others that have had none since they were broken. Another of the competitors, Honey Bee, is a splen- did colt, with rare shape and action, but, like Solon, is a little backward and not likely to come with a rush in the market as his half brother Roman Bee did last year, which a few found to their cost, and have net yet recovered the blow they then received. Bird of Passage, by Artillery, is whispered as a good thing, but al- though a clever mover, many form a different opinion of her chance. Firefly, by Confessor out of Mary O'Toole, is a good, strong galloper, but is backward, being only a few months at the Curragh, an oversight that should be guarded against by owners of horses, as trainersshouldhavesufiicienttimegiven them to bring their horses out up to the mark. It. is rumoured that Aunt Judy will come over the water to run here, and her performances in England have been sufficiently satisfactory and successful to induce her owner to try his luck this year. Claret Cup, it is said, has an un- certain temper, and her half sister Clarina is a weed, and not worth anything, as all who were at the Heath of Maryborough must have seen. Red Hugh is a good- looking colt, but his breed- ing is not as fashionable as many of the others, neither is his family noted: for'stoutness; however, there is every probability that he will run respectably. It will be gathered from the fore- going remarks that those having the best chance of proving successful are Lucky Star, Blarney, the colt out- of Lizzy, and Lord Douglas, and of this quartette Blarney is entitled'to the most confidence. The second and last event with which we can deal is the great raoe for two year olds on Thursday, for which the following is a list of the probable starters, with their jockeys and trainers:— STARTERS FOR THE RAILWAYS. Trainers. Jockeys. Colt out of Molly Carew J. Nolan Woodhouse Colt out of Queen Margaret .. Harrison D. Doyle Sister to Mincepie John Day Salter Filly out of Ophelia's dam.. .. Cliff Taylor Lord Zetland I. Wadlow Loafer Cliff Clement Colt out of Brenda Murphy Hibberd Colt out of Lizzy Jones Gannon Waterloo Harrison J. Grimshaw Bird of Passage Hussey Moran Union Jack Goodwin Cuetance Colt out of Alice Gray IX Larissv P. Larissy The Mysterious Lady Goater ..". H. Grimshaw Lord Douglas Murphy J. Murphy The Lancer Owner James Doyle Colt out of Mermaid Murphy Gardiner The Little Bear Wadlow W. Marson Rifle Midgeley Midgelev Colt out of Quack's dam Doucie P. Lynch Bacchus M'Nerny D. Wynne Light Cliff Fordham It will be seen by the above list that the English flyer Light, by Prime Minister out of Candlewick, is likely to take part in the contest, as she is in magnificent racing trim at present, and a most dangerous opponent, having won her two races in England in such style that she is looked upon as second to none of her year; however, on this occasion she will have to carry a penalty, which will bring her weight up to 8st 101b, not by any means back breaking, and most of her opponents will have to carry within 31b of her, the majority of the colts not getting any allowance; however, as fillies are uncertain, we would advise all having horses engaged to bring them out and try their luck, as there is many a chance in a race, notwith- standing that Light will probably have the assistance of Fordham. The next in the list that attracts us is Clarence, by Claret out of Queen Margaret, who ran so gamely for the Bally manus Stakes at the Heath, in which he lost ground at starting, and before Light defeats him for this event she will have her work to do. The filly out of Ophelia's dam is trained at Cliff's, in England, and was favourably spoken of. but the much lamented death of her noble owner, Lord De Freyne, sets at rest any chance she might have had. The Loafer is in the same stable as Light, and it is reported will show, but of this we are not certain, and, there- fore, will give him a short knock. The colt out of Brenda, although very good- looking, is but a short time at the Curragh, and has no chance at present. The race for the Angleseys on Tuesday will have told its tale on Lord Douglas, the Lizzy colt, and Bird of Passage. The Irish Garotter ( not the English villain) is spoken of as being the representative of Mr Longfleld's interests, as Brother to Druid and Brother to Blue Peter are reported not to have turned out as well as expected, notwithstanding they had the advantage of Newmarket training. The colt out of Alice Gray is not likely to prove as fortunate on this occasion as his brother the Plover did last year, although an equally good mover. Honey Bee and Solon may or may not appear, " but it will make no matter we fancy on this occasion. The Lancer is a good- looking colt, by Artillery out of Prize- fighter's dam, and perhaps on the day there will not be a better looking one in the whole lot, but as his owners won't have him tried previously we can give no opinion about him. The colt out of Mermaid ( late Stand House Lass) is a good goer, and as his dam could get any distance, it would be well to be careful of this nice son of Artillery. Rifle's performances and antics are so well known they require no comment. Bacchus dis- appointed his admirers so much at the Heath of Maryborough, that no doubt they will discard him on this occasion ; however, we are prepared to see him run a much improved horse now. Waterloo is certain to run well, but- is held safe by his stable com- panion, Clarence. The others engaged are not worth taking into consideration, and we will therefore sum up, and take Light, Cla- rence, Waterloo, or Lord Douglas to win, giving Light the prefer- ence. As a cockboat we will take The Lancer. PROGRAMME OF CURRAGH ROYAL SEPTEMBER MEETING.

TURF NOTES FROM THE CONTINENT. ( FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDEHT.) BADEN BADEN RACES- During the whole of the past season it is probable that there has not been a more busy fortnight for Continental turfites than tha* which has just expired, for, commencing at Moulins with the excitement, of its St Leger, its Two Year Old Stake, and its memo- rable dead heats, our attention is then immediately diverted to- wards the Belgium quarter at Lille and Roubaix, where, we are told, some capital sport was witnessed, and amongst a most jovial set of fellows, who would not hear of their southern friends leaving them in a hurry, at least so it is said by some young gentlemen from Paris, who stayed out a fortnight there, and, in their own language, " amidst convivial spirits and champagne." Then, passing over the small meetings of Saintes, Tarbes, and Gramont, we come to the camp at Chalons, where the Emperor now annually presides himself over two days' racing, which he has had provided by the Government as a very rational amuse- ment for his troops. The two days on the whole passed off' most satisfactorily, and at last concluded with a grand Government Steeple Chase, and in this event H. Lamplugh, whose feats on Franc Picard and The Colonel have made as great a cha- racter at a French provincial meeting as poor Frank But- ler used to make at Plymouth, most singularly distinguished himself, for notwithstanding that he broke his arm less than a month before he hadnowthe hardihood to take the mount on Cats- paw, on whom he made strong running to the brook, into which the monkey's victim most unceremoniously placed him, but re- taining his hold on the bridle, and a friendly leg up 011 the other side setting him right again, he continued a kind of forlorn chase after Cassidy on Gceulzin; creeping up, however, length by length, he at last succeeded in catching his antagonist, and in a most tre- mendous struggle for the last hundred yards just landed Catspaw the winner by a neck, amidst a scene of applause, as tbe French papers say, that has never been equalled. After the race Lamplugh's game arm was almost powerless, which the Emperor observing, sent his own physician to inquire after the nature of his injury, but Lamplugh in his cool style begged this function- ary to assure His Majesty that lie felt greatly honoured for such a kind inquiry, but that his recently broken arm was only tired. We must now turn our attention from the stirring scenes of the past, for some anticipations for the future, and to a subject that has always given us much pleasure, namely7, Baden- Baden races, which commence next week, and are likely to divert as much public attention, and receive as much distinguished patronage, as any meeting that has hitherto taken place at this charming ren- dezvous of fashionable enjoyment. The first day's racing takes place on ^ ednesday, Sept 2, when the card will comprise five events, of which the first two, viz, the Prix de la Favourita and the Prix de la Foret Noire, both for three year olds and upwards, are not engaged for until Monday, Aug 31, but for the third stake, the Prix d' Iffezheim of 3,000f, for three year olds and upwards, distance two miles and one fur- long, the following are entered :— Villafranca 3 yrs Grand Puissance. 4 yrs ! Audacieuse, 5 yrs Beniamin, 4 yrs Telegraphe, 4 yrs j Leonidas, 3 yrs Sarcclle, 3 yrs BUboquet, 3 yrs i Nationale, 4 yrs Adonis, 3 yrs I The above list does not contain a great array of staying power, for, with the exception of Tfelfegraphe and Sarcelle, we have never seen any of the lot do the distance satisfactorily, and if we couple Grand Puissance with the two mentioned we think we shall have named the winner, our favourite of the trio being T& legraphe, notwithstanding that he has to give Grand Puissance 71b and the three year old 211b. TiieContinental St Leger will succeed this event, and for it we shall expect the following field:— Hospodar I Trouville I Charles Mnrtel Flibustier I Fleur de Mai ! Giles the First And perhaps Mons Nardonie. Of this small field the favouritism is likely to be pretty well divided between Hospodar, Fleur de Mai, and Charles Martel, and considering that Flibustier ran second to Charles Martel, beaten a head only at Fontainbleau, when Fleur de Mai was behind the two, public running would point to Hospodar as the winner, if, as we think it will be most probable, he is the chosen one of the stable 011 the day. We have doubts, however, as to the gameness of this son of Monarque, and have also no great opinion of Fleur de Mai, whereas, with regard to Charles Martel, we know him to be a thorough game one, and as we hear that he has gone through a very good preparation, and he was evidently on an im- proving scale when last in public, we have great confidence in his turning out the winner. The first day's sport will conclude with the Prix deRastattof l, 500f, gentlemen riders ; but this event has yet to be engaged for. The visitors at Baden will now have a clear interval for rambles amongst this picturesque vicinity, for racing does not commence again until Saturday, when the card will comprise six events, and will be headed by the Prix de Sandweir of 2,000f, for three year olds and upwards, the entry for which has not yet closed. " The Poule de Produits ( a new feature in the Baden programme) will be the next item, and for it we shall expect to see the following at the post:— Hoscodar j Dollar I Charles Martel La Reine Berthe ( or Faust Princet Gentilhomme) | | Doubtless this field will be greatly augmented by the German division, for they have 24 entered, though of any of their preten- sions we know nothing, and the merits of the French competitors can be better decided after the 9t Leger lias been run far. Dollar, however, has been kept for this race, and by public running he ought to win. For the Prix de Lichtental of 2,500f, for three year olds and up- wards, the following are encaged :— Grande Puissance, 4 vs Stradella, 4 yrs I Genievre, 3 yrs Iilanchette, 4 vrs La Reine Berthe, 3 yrs I Fornarina, 3 yrs M Nardonie, 3" yrs Villa Franca, 3 yrs | Leonidas, 3 yrs Benvenuto, 3 yrs Pergola, 3 yrs ! Banniere, 3 yrs Benjamin, 4 yrs Glaucus, 3 yrs The result of this race will greatly depend on whether the con- federates will pull out Stradella in the face of her great engage- ment on Monday, but supposing she is not at the post, we should select Pergola to win, as she represents a better class than the others, and the distance, lm 2fur, is just suited to her. The Prix de l'Avenir, for two year olds, has received the follow- ing subscriptions Mr E. Carter's Pilgrim, by Lea- mington out of Syllabus Mr E. Carter's Euphrosine, by WTea- therbit out of Streatlam Fairy Mr E. Carter's Scandal by Strad- bally out of Fleehe M H. Lunel's Coroner, by The Nabob, dam bv Theon M H. Lunel's Bonelle, by The Nabob out of Bataglia M Aumont's Scaivola, by Sting out of Medina M Schickler's Garde a Vous, by Father Thames outof Miss Finch M Schickler's Equateur, by The Prime Warden out of Cleniatlte M Delamarre's Courtisan, by Monarque out of La Magicienne Baron Daru's ch c Pronostic, by The Flying Dutchman out of Fringe Baron d'Auriol's Rainette, by The Baron out of Regretta Count de Lagrange's Soumise, by Pretty Boy out of Ladybird Count de Lagrange's La Belle Fe- ronnlere. by Ventre St Oris— Julia Duke de Monty's Perle, by Nabob out of Partlet Excepting Garde a Vous, Scavola, and Rainette, this list com- prises entirely a dark lot, and as the public runners have shown no great form, we shall expect to see the latter division produce the winner, Perle representing our fancy, both on account of her appearance, and because she is out of Partisan's dam. For the Prix de la Ville ( Handicap), of 6,000, for all ages, 2m 4fur, the following is the list of the weights :— lb [ lb lb Eidolon 123 ! Solferino 107 L'AventuriSre .... 97 Goodby 121 Grande Puissance.. 1< 5 Yaucresson 96 Loyal 117 Audacieuse 105 Frontignan 96 Teftgraphe 115 Fletir de Mai 104 Belle of York 94 A la Iiescousse .... 113 1 MNardonie 103 Done Again 95 Orphan Girl Ill i Goliath 103 La Reine Berthe.... 93 Slazeppa Ill . Faustin 103 Fille de l'Air 91 Hadji Stavros 109 ! Villafranca 100 Bilboquet 90 Plaiser des Dames. 108 Trouville 99 Benvenuto 86 Benjamin 107 I As the acceptances have not yet come out for this race, it is im- possible to form any decided opinion, but to select a few that are well in, we should take the following:— A la Rescousse, Tele- graphe, Mazeppa, Frontigiian, and Done Again. The second day's sport will be concluded with a gentlemen riders' race ( the Prix des Dames), for which nine only are entered. On Monday, the 7th, the flat racing will be brought to a conclu- sion, and the card will again comprise five events, commencing with the Prix de Carlsruhe, for all ages, over half a mile; and for it the following are entered : Rainette, 2 yrs Infante, 3 yrs Geutilhomme, 3 yrs Flibustier, 3 vrs Soumise, 2 yrs Perle, 2 yrs Pas Perdus, 3 yrs Falbala, 3 yrs Damier, 3 yrs Pilgrim, 2 yrs Scaivola, 2 y rs Euphrosine, 2 yrs Equateur, 2 yrs Scandal, 2 yrs Gard a Vous, 2 yrs Bonclle, 2 vrs Courtisan, 2 yrs Coroner, 2 yrs Mirleton, 2 yrs L'Aventurifere, 3 yrs Pronostic, 2 yrs Banniere, 3 yrs | I Unless the dark division produces some very smart two year olds we shall expect to see this race credited to the confederacy by the aid of Gentilhomme or Flibustier. The Prix d'Eberstein ( Handicap) has not been entered for yet, and next to this event comes the Grand Prix du Baden, which has received the capital entry of 29, though we shall not expect to see more than the following at the post:— Caller Ou Stradella La Toucques Hospodar Dollar Giles the First Souvenir Charles Martel A la Roscousse M011 Etoile , Fleur de Mai There is a report that neither Caller Ou nor La Toucques are likely to put in an appearance, in which case Stradella looks on paper a very easy winner ; but even supposing these cracks do come over, we shall lean towards the chance of Stradella, both because we remember how she won this event last year, and because we hear that she is remarkably well. The Hurdle Race Handicap has not been accepted for yet, but on looking through the list, Eidolon at 1481b and Egmont 1381b, appear to us to be the most favourably in. On Thursday, the 10th, the Grand Steeple Chase will be run for, and for this we hear that several first raters, both from Eng- land and France, are likely to compete. Mr Hodgman's filly by Teddington out of The Farmer's Daughter was transferred to Mr Green at Oxford, and goes into Golby's stable.

ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB REGATTA OCEAN MATCH TO PLYMOUTH, AUG 24.— The vessels entered to contend lor the Broad wood Plate and Cup, as well as for the extra prize of £ 50, presented jointly by Mr Theliuson, the Com- modore, and Mr Broad wood, were as follows: — YACHT.

Smith CLIO cutter .... 40.... ,... F. K. Dumas TERPSICHORE cutter .... 40.... .... Uaat Tattnall OSPREY yawl 35 Lord Burghiey It was rumoured on the evening of Sunday, the 23d, that one or more of the yachts entered were not in sea- going trim. In consequence, the Vice Commodore, Lord Burghiey, and the sailing committee of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club visited all the vessels entered for the Ocean Race. His lordship at once disqualified the Audax, and suggested certain amendments in the internal arrangements of the Christabel, with which Mr Kennard com- plied. The morning broke very thick, with drizzly rain at six a. m., but cleared by the time the first gun was fired, at eight o'clock to a second. The starting gun was fired at nine a. m., • when the eleven competitors started; the Aline to leeward of the lot, with maintopsail set; Gleam, with yard topsail set, foretop- mast housed ; Julia and Miranda, with jib- headed topsails, to the north of the line. The cutters, close to the pier, all with jib- headed topsails except Marina, which had a square- headed topsail. Directly after the start the sky cleared to the southward and west- ward with a windy appearance; wind about west. Julia luffed up astern of Miranda, which latter vessel kept up a olean full; Aline laying up a good point nearer to the wind than the Gleam ; the Julia following the Aline, but, like the Gleam, unable to hold so good a wind, with Marina in attendance. At 9: 35 Aline, then near Calsliot lightship, went about for Old Castle Point. Julia did the same front the north shore for Os- borne, reaching away from, but to leeward of, Aline. At 9: 40 Marina went about and weathered the cutter, then fifth in the race. At 9: 42 the Julia passed just to leeward of the black buoy on the Middle. At 9: 43 the Aline and the Julia went about re- spectively under Old Castle Point, and Osborne. At 10: 10 the Julia, having made short tacks between the Brambles and Cowes, stood in for the latter place ; the Aline at the same time stood in for Egypt, weathering all cutters in the race, the Marina till then being the leading vessel. At 10: 14 Aline weathered Julia and tacked to the northward, and continued her lead throughout the race. At 11 o'clock the Marina was second ves- sel, Julia following under the Isle of Wight shore, the Terpsi- chore being fourth vessel on the north shore ; Amazon fifth. At 11: 30 Christabel weathered Marina, and took second place. At 11: 45 Terpsichore weathered Amazon, Christabel being leading cutter, but under the Aline's lee. At noon the tide ran in hot and strong through the Needle's passage, and tack after tack was made from tliar hour by all vessels in the race from Yarmouth Roads to Hurst Castle, the vessels working up in the back water in Hurst Roads, before they opened the passage, in order to cheat the Needle's tide. The Christabel ran on to Pennington Spit, with canvas all drawing, and immediately afterwards slewed her head round with the tide and remained a fixture, letting go her sheets and lowering her mainsail. In the scuffle in Hurst Roads Amazon weathered Marina, Marina weathered Clio, and weobserved that the Aline and Marina, while in stays, both slightly smeltthe bot- tom. At 1: 17 theAlinewas well abreast of Hurst Castle, followed at 1: 20 by Terpsichore, now leading cutter, and Syren, and at 1: 28, by Marina and Ciio. At this time the Julia went about to the east- ward of Yarmouth, the Miranda was in line with Eagle Hurst, Gleam to leeward of the Miranda, and Osprey off Hampstead ledge— a considerable tail. At 1: 30Syren, and at 1: 32 Amazon, had followed the rest of the yachts past Hurst Castle into the North Passage. At 1: 35 the Clio bore up and struck her racing flag. At 2: 13 the Aline tacked to the southward, oft' Christchurch Ledge. At 2: 25 Terpsichore also tacked ahead of, but to leeward of Syren, Marina astern of, but to windward of Syren. At 2: 39 Aline . tacked to westward; at 2: 45 wind veered to south- west, and at this time Julia and Mirai^ da managed to weather Hurst Castle, and lay up the North Passage. At 3: 10 the Christabel was still ashore, and all cutters weathered Christchurch Ledge, except Terpsichore, who tacked. Wind fresh and puffy, sun bright, sky clearing, and a fine topsail breeze, apparently dead on end, and promising to continue in the south- west. At 3: 45 the Aline tacked to southward; the Julia tacked to avoid Christchurch Ledge, which she could not weather; she shifted jib in stays, and reefed her bowsprit. At. 4 p. m. all cutters tacked to the south- ward ; the Miranda far astern. At 4: 14 off Old Harry, Aline still leading; Terpsichore a good second, to the astonishment of all hands ; Marina third, Syren fourth. At 4: 20 Aline and two lead- ing cutters taoked to the west; at 4: 35 Miranda tacked off, and Julia shifted her mizen, keeping her reach to the south. At 4: 45 the Aline tacked out of Swanage Bay; at 4: 50 the Miranda weathered a schooner, not. racing, supposed to be the Mad- cap, and after that time we saw no more of either of those two yachts; about this time the Gleam and Osprey were to leeward, under the Bournemouth cliffs, apparently reaching to the southward, and were soon lost " sight of. The Aline soon afterwards opened Duddlestone Head, and at the same time some of the cutters were standing off from Swanage. At 5: 50 the Aline was off St A1 ban's Head; Terpsichore second; Marina half a mile astern of the leading cutter; Amazon and Byren following in the order named. At. 5: 50 a large bark was observed to be on shore on Kimmeridge Ledge, a place where a light is greatly needed. At 7: 50 the Aline was off Portland Break- water, the Marina having become second vessel in the race, two other cutters being sighted in shore. At 9 p. m. Portland lights bore, from the Aline, north east three quarters east ( magnetic). Prom this time, altough there was a bright moon, it was impos- sible to report anything of interest with the slightest degree of accuracy, but, at this hour the Aline had the Julia a good three hours to leeward of her, and all the cutters were standing in for Portland Breakwater. Tuesday, Aug 25, at 4: 30 a. m., the Aline tacked oil Torquay. At 6: 30 she tacked off from Dartmouth ; wind dead on end, heavy head sea, sky lowering, clouds low and heavy, with squalls of rain, accompanied by windhounds and a rainbow. At 7: 5 this heavy squall passed away, and the Marina was seen to the south- ward of the Aline. At 7: 18 the Aline weathered the Prawl; at 8: 50 she weathered the Bolt tail; and at 0: 55 she was clear of the west end of Plymouth Breakwater, and had won the Broadwood Plate. The Julia arrived at 11: 2: 39, and won the extra prize of £ 50. The Marina arrived at 15min past noon, taking the Broad- wood Cup. The Syren arrived at 2: 10 p. m. Civil time has been given throughout. FKOM THE LOG or THE ALIKE.— Started from Ryde at 9: 0 a. m., Julia, Marina, Terpsichore, and Syren leading in the order named, Aline being to leeward of all. At 9: 45 the latter was to the windward of all, J ulia second, Marina third. At 9: 55, when off Norris Castle, Marina gave way to Christabel. Af 12: 45 Christabel was about half a mile to the leeward of the Aline, and close to her were Terpsichore and 8yren. About one o'clock Christabel went ashore on a spit just below Lymington, or between that place and Hurst. She was, however, subsequently got off, and resumed the race, and succeeded in picking up one of the fleet in a com- paratively short time. At 1: 45 the Aline got dear of the Needles, having made about twenty different tacks to get there. At 2: 25 the Terpsichore was about three miles ahead of Syren, but half a mile to the leeward; the Marina was half a mile behind Syren, to the westward of Christchurch; and the Amazon was about a mile and a half behind Marina. At 3: 33 the Aline was off Bar- mouth, the Terpsishore being then one mile and a half to lee- ward. At 4: 14 the Old Harry was passed, and at 5: 45 a large bark was on shore the other side of St Alban's Head. At 5: 55 the Aline was off St Alban's Head, and at 6: 35 p. m. the Marina was the leading cutter. At 7: 50 p. m. the Aline was off Portland Breakwater, the Marina still leading, and the remainder of the cutters standing in to the shore. At nine p. m. the Portland lights were mile east. The Aline made a tack then, and stood in to Exmouth, on that course the wind being north west, half west. At 11: 30 p. m. she was lying north west by west, half west, the wind having veered a little. At one a. m. she tacked and proceeded south by west, half west. At two a. m. tacked ship again, and stood in'west by north. At 2: 45 a. m. made another tack and stood for south, half west, and at 3: 20 a. m she again altered her course to west by north, half north. At 4: 30 her course was shaped north west by west, and after another tack she came abreast of Torquay, between Bob's Nose and Berry Head. At 6: 30 a. m. she was off Dartmouth, when she experi- enced a very heavy squall with rain. At 7: 45 she was close in to the Start. At 8: 17 off Prawle Head, reaching the Ply- mouth Breakwater at 9: 55: 5. The second boat was the Julia, 11: 2: 30. The third boat proved to be the Marina, 12: 15; and the fourth, the Syren, who was timed at about 2: 10. The weather was very rough on the passage down, and it is a remarkable fact that the Aline did not shift anv of her sails during the journey, whilst the others were compelled togdo so. The Clio put back after running a few miles. ROYAL WESTERN YACHT CLUB OF ENGLAND AND THE PORT OF PLYMOUTH ROYAL REGATTA. The Royal Western Yacht Club of England and the Port of Ply- mouth Royal Regatta came off on Wednesday and Thursday, Aug 26 and 27. The morning of Wednesday broke gloomily, and soon after daybreak smart showers fell, and continued for an hour or two, when it ceased, showing some signs of a clearance. After a short duration, however, the rain again descended, not in tor- rents, for that term would not express what we wish to convey; it came down in sheets, and at eleven o'clock a thick haze overhung the Sound, the rain coming down with renewed violence. A stiff breeze from southeast by south did not at all add to the comfort of those individuals who were unfortunate enough to be afloat, and the handful of spectators on the Hoe had enough to do to maintain their ground. In addition to the rain and strong wind that prevailed, a very high sea was running outside the Break- water, which rendered it somewhat dangerous for the smaller craft to venture out. This, then, was the state of things when the committee assembled on board the Lump, from the Dockyard, which they had converted into a committee- boat. The gen- tlemen forming the committee were as follows :— Yacht Club— Capt Rodd, chairman; Colonel Rogers, Major Templar, Capt Strode, and 8. Brooking, Esq. Town committee— the Mayor, Mr W. Derry, chairman; Mr R. J. Bhurlock, vice- chairman; Mr J. Skardon, treasurer; Mr W. S. Kelly, secretary; Messrs W. Rad- more, H. Smith, C. Rae, J. Shapcott, W. Luce, and W. H. Luke. These gentlemen debated upon the best course to be adopted under the circumstances, and would have postponed the regatta until the following Thursday and Friday, had it not been for the fear of clashing with the Dartmouth Regatta, which was fixed for Friday, thus showing a forcible illustration of the great in- convenience caused by the regatta meetings in the west being so close one upon the other. The Plymouth Regatta was first fixed, and when the days had been advertised, the Torbay, Teignmouth, Royal Cornwall, and Dartmouth Regattas were announced, and in the three latter instances not a day was allowed to intervene between the respective meetings, so that in the event of contrary winds or rough weather the boats would be prevented from at- tending every meeting. Had the gentlemen on whom the ar- rangement of these amusements in Torquay, Teignmouth, Dart- mouth, and Falmouth studied the convenience of yachtsmen a little more, it would have added materially to the success of each meeting. If the Plymouth Regatta had been allowed to take place first, for instance, and the Royal Cornwall, at Fal- mouth, second, with perhaps a day intervening, the com- mittees at the other three ports, Dartmouth, Torquay, and Teignmouth, could have so arranged their meetings as to catch the boats on their return from the more westerly ports. If such an understanding as this could be arrived at, it would add, not only to the convenience of yachtsmen, but would also ensure the success of the coast regattas. We will now return to our details of the Plymouth meeting. The rain continued throughout the whole of the day, and the green slopes of the Hoe were not, as on former occasions, covered with spectators, nor had every available height in the neighbourhood its visitants, unless under cover, and that was not to be found, unless one sought shelter beneath a refreshment tent, the drippings of which made one almost as wet as the ruin out- side. In a field adjoining the Hoe was a flower show, which, combined with the regatta, would have been the means of drawing together an immense concourse of spectators from all parts of the two counties Of Devon and Cornwall. These attractions, however, although very great, were not sufficient to induce people to ven- ture from their homes to receive a thorough drenching in the way of enjoyment. Having spoken of the spectators, we will now speak of the yachts, of whom there was a good muster, most of them taking up their positions between the island and the main. Seme of them made a considerable display of bunting, as also did the committee vessel. Amongst the yachts in port were the following :— Lotus schooner, 188 tons, Earl Vane, Ports- mouth, Commodore R. W. Y. C.; Aline schooner, 216 tons, Capt Thellusson, Portsmouth, Commodore E. V. Y. C. ; Albertine schooRer, 156 tons, Lord Londesborough, Hull ; Flirt schooner, Lord Westbury ( Lord High Chancellor) ; .

Clarke, Jersey ; Medina cutter, 64 tons, T. W. Fox, jun, K. D., Plymouth. The first prize on the programme was £ 60, being £ 50 for the first vessel and £ 10 for second, given by the R. VV. Y. C., to be sailed for by cutters above 20 tons, o. m. The committee deter- mined to postpone this race until the following day. A PRIZE of £ 15, for hookers and drift boats of any rig, with or without gear, given by the town; first prize £ 8, second £ 4, third £ 2, fourth £ 1; six to start, or no race ; no entrance fee.— Robert and Susan, P. May ; Little Charley, J. Easton ; Sophia and Mary, H. Rowe; Pixie, T. Cload; Augusta, W. Johns; Huntress, J. King ; Annie, J. S. Paddon ; Neptune, Thorning ; Mary Jane, T. Smith. The starting gun was fired at 11: 51: 2- 5, the course being from the buoys in front of the committee vessel, through the western channel of the Breakwater, round a mark vessel off" Penlee Point, thenca to another markboat off' the Mew Stone, returning through the eastern channel of the Breakwater, rounding the Cobbler buoy, and round the committee vessel; twice round. There was little difference in the start, but before the western channel was reached Mary Jane, Little Charley, Huntress, and Augusta were in a cluster making for the markboat off Penlee. Just on rounding the markboat off Penlee the Robert and Susan carried away her mast, and the Neptune carried away her fore- tie just before reaching the markboat. The first round was com- pleted thus:— H. M. HUNTRESS AUGUSTA.. The PIECB of PLATE, value £ 25, offered by the steamboat companies, and the £ 10 CUP, presented by MrPearse, of the Royal Hotel, were run for in one race. YACHT. TONS. OWNER. | YACHT. TONS. OWNER.

The three prizes were therefore awarded to Conqueror, Hero, and Orlando. The remainder of the matches, six in number, were, in conse- quence of the state of the weather, postponed until Thursday. SECOND DAY, THURSDAY.— The morning broke very favour- ably, and, with the exception of a smart shower just before eight o'clock, the weather remained fine. The Hoe presented quite a contrast with the previous day, for its green slopes were covered with spectators, and the scene afloat was far more cheerful. The water was studded with numerous yachts and smaller boats, whose white sails flitting about in the sun's rays presented a charming appearance. Early in the morning there was a good breeze from the south, but by the time the first yacht race commenced it had completely died away, and instead of a good race it was some- thing like a " drifting " match. At a subsequent part of the day the. wind shifted to the south west, and from that time a splendid breeze prevailed. The FIRST RACE to- day was for a prize of £ 60, being £ 50 for the first vessel and £ 10 fo'r the second, given by the R W. Y. C., to be sailed for by cutters above 20 tons, o. m., belonging to a R. Y. C. ; time, half a minute up to 50 tons, a quarter of a minute above ; entrance £ 2 2s ; four to start or no race. YACHT. TONS. OWNER. I YACnT. TONS. OWNER. PHRYNE.... 55.. .. Seddou VINDEX.... 45.... A. Duncan THOUGHT .. 24.... J. Jones, jun | The starting gun was fired at 9: 58: 55, the course being through the western channel of the Breakwater, round a mark vessel moored eff Penlee Point, thence to another mark vessel off the Mew Stone, leaving both on the port hand, returning through the eastern channel of the Breakwater, rounding the buoy of the Cobbler, which is to be left on the port hand, then round the committee vessel, which is also to be left on the port hand ; three times round. On the signal being given to start, the Thought, being the weathermost, was the first on her legs, and until she ran clear of the others very little way was made by them. Thought gradually increased her lead, and when off Bovisand made a tack for the western end, and catching a spank- ing breeze about this time, she shot ahead in fine style, distancing her other competitors, one of whom ( the Vindex) lay almost be- calmed under the lee of the eastern shore. The Phryne followed Thought, and a pretty fair race ensued between the two in run- ning out through the Western Channel. Here Phryne must have been well managed, for when she again hove in sight she ap peared to have the lead of Thought. A good race ensued while running in through the Eastern Channel, the two keeping pretty well together. On rounding the Cobbler Buoy Thought had a very slight lead, and both shot past the committee boat in capital style, the Phryne being only 28sec behind the Thought; the Vindex was 7min 3sec behind the Phryne, and it was evident that the race now lay between Thought and Phryne. In the second round Phryne had headed the Thought, being 7min 2Ssec in advance of her, having gained just seven minutes in the second round. The Vindex was 8min 15sec behind the Thought in the second round. In coming round the vessel the last time the Phryne had increased her lead to 19min 27sec, thus being a winner by 5min 12sec, she having to allow the Thought 14min 15sec for difference of tonnage.

Thellusson ALBERTINE 155 Lord Londesborough The signal gun fired at 11: 11: 25, and Intrepid, being weather- most, was the first to get on her legs, followed by Madcap and Albertine. There was some delay in starting the Aline; but when once off she went along at a rattling place, cutting a noble figure, being an object of admiration to every one. Aline seon pulled up with the others, and in making a tack for the western end of the Breakwater she took the lead splendidly, leaving the others some distance behind her. The Aline was the first to heave in sight again, the Albertine and Madcap following her up. In the first round Aline was 3min 52sec ahead of the Albertine, who had car- ried away her jibbooin. After passing the committee vessel it was observed that the Albertine was fast pulling up, which was ac- counted for by the Aline keeping too much totheeastward, itbeing flood tide at the time. It was expected that the Albertine would have headed her, but in running out in the Western Channel the Aline maintained first position, Albertine following her closely up. In the second round Aline had increased her lead to lOmin 3osec, and at the third round she was 25min 59 » ec in advance of the Albertine. The Albertine, although second, had to give way to Madcap having to allow her time, and the latter received the lecond prize. The rounds were timed in this manner :— 1ST ROUND. 2D ROUND. 3D ROUND. H.

Thus finished this interesting match; and considering that the wind was never very strong, and that they had to make several boards, the time occupied by the winner — viz, 5h 6min 30sec, over a distance of thirty- four miles— was very creditable, and the promoters of the scheme expressed them- selves thoroughly satisfied with the result, the barges going remarkably near the wind, in which, of course, they were materially assisted by their lee boards. The prizes ' having been presented respectively to the captains of the W. H. D., Mary, and Claude, the vessel steamed direct for Erith, where she ar- rived at a little after nine o'clock. The match was accompanied throughout the day by a large number of vessels, among which we noticed the Phryne ( not the celebrated Phryne), Oberon, Will o' the Wisp, Wild Wave, Romp, Midge, Wasp, Albatross, Bessie, Lily, & c. Among the moving incidents of the day may be noticed the fact that Mr Dodd presented the captains of barges, and all who had taken an interest in the match, with a silk hand- kerchief, commemorative of the occasion, and among others Capt Wheeler was one of the recipients. The winning barge was built by Mr William Henry Cox, of 3, Upper Ground- street, Black- friars, barge builder to Her Majesty. THE SAILING BARGE MATCH. Our readers will remember that about a month since the ques- tion of getting up a match among sailing barges was mooted in the Prince of Wales Yacht Club. Mr Dodd, the contractor, and an old member of that club, originated the idea, which, under the management of several intelligent persons, soon assumed a de- finite shape, and the conclusion arrived at, after due considera- tion, was that as sailing barges invariably go well with a good wind to move them, and as their captains are experienced men, who know how to sail in the wind's eye as well as the oldest salt in existence, a match among them would be ad- visable, both as an encouragement to their crews and in order that the true qualities of this kind of craft might be demonstrated by pitting a large number of them one against the other. A committee was therefore at once formed, consisting of Mr Dodd and other influential barge owners, besides a few members of the club; and while the matter was necessarily distinct from the club, as their rules did not permit of their applying their funds to such purposes, it was agreed that j Commerell. All went off well together at 1: 38, Ida leading, but the management be left in their hands, while the barge owners, I on approaching the Breakwater Scud came up with her, and both with Mr Dodd at their head, should undertake to collect subscrip- i kept together until the Lighthouse was reached, when Scud took ROYAL CORNWALL REGATTA. The annual County Regatta, as it is appropriately termed, cam ® off on Monday and Tuesday, Aug 24 and 25, at Falmouth, and far surpassed any previous regatta in that neighbourhood. The day8 of holding the regatta had been postponed from the commence" merit of the month ( for which it was originally fixed), in order that time might be afforded to allow of a communication with H. R. H. the Prince of Wales. This delay proved of some service, for about a week or two since, the committee received from H. R. H. a silver cup, value 25 guineas, for competition in any manner the committee might determine on. In addition to this there was a general increase in the subscriptions, which placed the committee in possession of about £ 150 more than last year, when great difficulty was experienced in raising £ 90. An old gunboat attached to H. M. 8. Russell was converted into a committee boat. The weather on the first day was beautifully fine, with a brisk north- west breeze blowing. The attendance of spectators was very large, the opening of the railway to Falmouth having had no inconsi- derable influence in bringing about this result. Steamers also plied to and fro on the coast, and brought their quota. There was a good muster of yachts, amongst them being tbe following:— Volante, H. C. Maudslay, London; Vindex, A. Duncan, London ; Emmett, W. F. Hay, London ; Thought, J. Jones, Liverpool; Ida, Hocking, Plymouth; Vampire, Capt Commerell, Gosport; Scud, Major Ball, Falmouth; Grand Turk, Fox, Falmouth; Layman, Baxendale, Cowes; Lulworth, Weed, Cowes; Al- legra, Williams, Falmouth; Gipsy, Captain M'Dougall, Fal- mouth ; British Queen, H. Williams, Falmouth ; Cygnet, F. Anglesea, Falmouth; Ida, Turner, Dartmouth; Little Jenny, Lieut Clarke, Falmouth; Boomerang, Nankv, ell, Truro; Secret, Capt Heayn, Truro. On the second day the rain poured down in sheets, and had the effect of delaying the proceedings for a short time. The sports were continued, however, but the number of spectators was considerably diminished. CUTTER YACHTS.— SILVER CUP, value 50 guineas, for cutter yachts not exceeding 60 tons ( o. m.); course, from the starting buoys, round a boat moored south east of the Lighthouse, thence round a markboat off Bosemullion Head, and then to a boat moored in the cross channel, and proceeding round the committee vessel; twice round. Some difficulty was experienced in getting entries for this race, and it was suggested that the second prize, a silver cup, value 10 guineas, should be added. The following yachts then entered : Volante, H. C. Maudslay ; Vindex, A. Dun- can; Emmett, W. F, Hay; Thought, J. Jones. Objections were made against the Thought, and after considerable discussion on the matter that vessel and the Einmett withdrew from the con- test, leaving the first prize to be contended for by Volante and y index. The start was made at 1: 23: 10, and both soon got on their legs, Volante taking a slight lead until she reached the Break- water, Vindex being then a short distance astern of her. Vindex soon showed her heels, and went ahead of her competiter, main- taining the position throughout. The boats were timed as follows:— • - sa 1ST ROUND. 2D ROUND. N. M. S. H.

Three started, viz : Ida. ltN tons, Hocking; Scud, 8 tons, Major Bull ; Vampire, Is, Capt tions and do other needful things. Subscriptions, however, did not flow in so fast as had been anticipated, and on the last night of entry the committee found that they were not in a position to offer more than £ 22 in prizes, divided as under, viz, first boat £ 10, second £ 7, third £ 5. These, however, were considered, and un- doubtedly were, very decent prizes, although it is in contemplation to make the matter more public next year than it was this. The following were the regulations under which the match was sailed: —" The match to be for rigged barges from 50 and not exceeding 100 tons burthen. To be sailed on Wednesday, Aug 26. Barges to sail from Gravesend to the Nore Light and back ; their owners to draw for stations; barges t ® ride at their kedge; each barge to have not more than five hands on board, and not any one to be on board except persons actually engaged in or necessary to the working of the barge; each barge to have for use four sails only — jib, main, fore, and mizen sails, and those only their ordinary working suit; the first gun to be the signal for barges to prepare; the second to be the signal to get their kedges and start; each barge to be allowed to use one sweep, and that only in the blade ; barges to be hatched and battened down, and no ballast, of any sort allowed; other regulations as for yachts." Wednesday, Aug 26, was the day fixed upon for the match taking place, and a more wretched one can scarcely be imagined. The committee of management had engaged the Oread, with her kind and obliging captain, Wheeler ( who was also the steward, and, as usual, did the thing well), to accompany the race, and she was advertised to leave Blackwall on the arrival of the ten o'clock train from Fen church- street, but it would seem that both the powder and a gunner had been forgotten, and consequently the boat was full an hour late leav- ing the pier. A consideratleamount of time was also wasted at other places, and consequently the day was made a very long one. This would have been very well had the weather been fine, but as Pluvius reigned triumphant all day there were several aboard who, before they reached Blackwall en the return, thought of the time wasted in the morning. However, the Oread left Blackwall at half- past eleven with 50 or 60 aboard, and the band of the 39th Middlesex Volunteers ( whose principal object seemed to be to make as much noise as possible with the big drum), and after calling at Erith proceeded to Gravesend, where the following barges were found ready to sail, viz :— NAME. OWNER. CAPTAIN. 1. EMMA Landtield W. Landfield 2. CLAUDE Hamilton T. Bradlev 8. ALICE Farmer R. Collins 4. QUEEN CAROLINE Depcke G. Piatt 6. MARY Rosher J. Walker 6. ELIZA Cooper W. Rouse 7. W. 11. D Dodd T. Munns 8. JAMES Robinson J. Robinson Among these were fine, wholesome craft, three being swim- headed, namely, the Emma, Eliza, and James, and much diversity of opinion existed as to whether one of these or one of the round- headed barges would win. The Eliza, however, was the favourite, although the advocates for " roundheads" preferred the W, H. D. In the morning there was but little wind, and although when leaving Blackwall the hopes of the spectators were raised by the wind blowing pretty strong from the south- ward, it had gone round W. 8. W. before they reached Graves- end, and fallen light again. On arriving at Gravesend the barges had to receive their flags, which should have been their number as drawn, in black on a white ground, but some enterprising individual had suggested that the numbers should be in pink on a white ground, bearing also the Prince of Wales's feathers, and having a blue border. The number was also bordered with gold, and this no doubt looked prettier than black and white ; but the effect was that the numbers were un- distinguishable when hoisted, and when the rain came it washed tlism out, those who did not know the craft being in a complete fog all day Mr R. Hewitt, the Commodore, should have been the officer in command, but did not come aboard till Thames Haven, and Mr W. Massingham undertook the duties of the office. After some time the barges were got tolerably straight, having for the most part been scrubbed clean and black- leaded, and their men looking all smartness and activity. The first gun was tired at 1: 43, when it was discovered that two of the barges had their wrong numbers, but this being quickly rectified, they got off at 1: 50: 30. The Emma had the southernmost berth, the others following in succession, and all started with their mainsails brailed up. In an instant these fell, and their other sails were set, many of the spectators being astonished at the activity displayed, for in the space of about a quarter of a minute every stitch of canvas was set. The bargees, unlike yachts- men, seem ed to have different opinions as to the correct way of canting, for some went about to the northward and others to the southward. No confusion, however, arose consequent upon this ( although the thing looked very odd), the captains managing their craft very smartly. The W. H D. and James, although to leeward, lied good clear positions for the turn, but both made a long streteh over to the northward, and fell last, while the others kept all in a cluster for some time ; but soon the Queen Caroline, a small up- country barge, who had made a very clean turn, came out with the lead, threatening mischief. She was followed by the Claude and W. H. D. pretty smartly, and then, after a gap of 50 yards, came the Eliza, leading the rear rank. With the weathermost berth, the Queen Caroline kept the lead for 200 yards, when Claude came up with her, and went to windward of her in a few seconds, W. H. D. then challenged Queen Caroline for second place, and deprived her of it; but in the next 200 yards there were several changes, and then as the sternmost vessels went by, while thesteamer was gettingheranchor up, we had an opportunity of noticing that the Eliza was ahead of the lot; next came the J ames, Mary, Emma, and Alice, to- gether. A mile into Gravesend reach the Queen Caroline had resumed her lead, W. H. D. being second and Claude third, all close together. Then came the Eliza fourth, James just ahead of Mary, then the Emma, and Alice last. A little further on the Emma became last, and James drew on the Eliza; some fine play going on between the last five. Meanwhile the Claude, foiled in her endeavours to pass the leading vessels, was driven out of her course and dropped astern, while some pretty work went on between the Caroline and W. H. D., which ended in the latter taking the lead at the end of Gravesend Reach; James also passed the Eliza, and the order on entering the Hope was W. H. D. first by a length or two, Caroline second, Claude 100 yards astern, and 50 yards ahead ef the James, who was fourth; Eliza on her quarter, fifth, Mary and Alice together, Emma last. The wind now fell so light that at times they were becalmed, and there was no interest whatever in the match until nearing Mucking, when the wind veered S. by E. and this of course considerably altered the state of things. The W. H. D., hitherto only just leading the Caroline, went away from her now at a rapid rate, while the Claude fell among the rear rank, which became half a mile astern, till they were well into Sea Reach. Here the wind became fresher, and the Claude, Mary, and James all made good progress under it. Passing the Middle Buoy of the Blythe the W. H. D, led by a quarter of a mile, Caroline still second, the others creeping up, although some distance astern, and evidently bringing a good wind with them. Opposite Shell Haven they made the first board. The W. H. D. and Caroline were a long while about it, and while in stays, the James, saving her wind, came right down upon them, the Claude following, and it now became anyone's race— wind increasing and working a trifle more to the eastward off Scar Beacon; time, 3h 25min. The W. H. D. had left the Caro- line half a mile astern, and James had become third, but the Claude coming up on tbe starboard tack, com- pelled her to give way, and the James fell fourth, the Claude immediately afterwards displacing the Caroline, and going second. Changes were now the order of the day. Nearing the Chapman the wind became S. E. by E., and the Mary, leaving the sternmost vessels, soon ranged herself alongside the James and passed her, and then compelled the Caroline to go fourth. The ebb was now nearly out, and it therefore becoming necessary to shorten the course, the steamer was sent on and dropped anchor abreast of Leigh Church, where the vessels rounded in the follow- ing order and times:— H. M. s. JAMES 4 28 29 CAROLINE 4 27 55 ELIZA 4 41 20 . The flood having begun to make, the W. H. D. was much bene- fited, as she brought the last drain of trie ebb with her, while the others were at a considerable disadvantage, particularly the Claude, whose captain having taken her too far over on the Essex shore, had considerable difficulty in getting round, his craft evi- dently not going so near the wind as some of the others. The Mary meanwhile bringing a nice breeze with her, came direct for the steamer, holding her wind uncommonly well, and just saving the steamer without a board, was round second. The Claude, when she was brought straight for the turn, however, came down at a rare pace, showing that, although not a food weatherly craft, she was very fast on the wind. The ames and Caroline also turned ' well, but the last three having to make several boards, as the wind was getting very strong, were a long while reaching the steamer. After rounding the VV, H. D. improved her position consi- derably at first, all making a long stretch over to the Essex shore, and then going about, but the Mary iH a few miles eame up agai » , and although never able to get very close, held her po- sition well, and through the pitiless storm of rain left the Claude further and further astern. The Caroline passed » he James after the turn, but nm? recovered her position, her small suit of sails II. M. S. W. H. D 4 13 0 MARY 4 21 32 CLAUDE 4 24 20 H. M. S.

The Vampire entered a protest against Scud, on the ground that she had deviated from the course. This was shown to have arisen from the Scud having wrong directions from the committee, and the latter then ottered a silver cup, valu » 20 guineas, to the Vampire, but the owner would not accept it, and expressed his willingness to run the race again. After some difficulty, it was decided that the match should take place about a week hence, when the Prince of Wales's Cup will begiven to the first boat, and the 20 guinea cup to the second. The LADIES' CUP of £ lo lus, tor yactits not exceeding 8 tons ( o. m.); same course.

The course in this race did not include rounding the Kish, but merely the flagboats off Bray Head and Dalkey Island, to be rounded twice. The Magnet took the lead round the Dalkey boat, with the Bijou second. Dove third, and Virago fourth. After rounding the boat it fell a flat calm, which lasted nearly two hours. At 3: 15 the Bijou let go her mud hook to prevent being dragged away by the tide, an example speedily followed by the Dove and Virago. After lying about thirty minutes a rattling shower came away from the westward, with plenty of wind under it; up anchors like lightning, and away for the Bray Head flag- boat ; the Magnet leading well, Bijou second, and Dove and Virago beam and beam third. On the run down the Bijou ran up to the Magnet, when the latter vessel luffed across her bows; but the little Bijou would not be denied. The Magnet again made a rush to cover and pass Bijou to windward, which the wary little Wanhill would by no means acquiesce in, and luffed across the Magnet's course, boring her up to windward ; the Magnet then put her helm up and gave the Bijou a most decided lesson in steam ram tactics, calculated to knock the teeth out of the most minute hand saw, and making her helmsman look as ugly as the Kildare- street Club House. Th? Dove, during this interesting little interchange of delicious civilities, took the lead, well hunted by the smart little Virago. 8hortly after she ran through the j Dove's lee, and the Magnet and Bijou came along at a slashing pace in their wake, having by this time recovered their propriety of demeanour. The Magnet collared the Dove soon after, and both passed the Virago, when the Bray Head boat was rounded in the following order :— Magnet 1, Deve 2, Virago 3, and Bijou 4. The vessels nearly in line together, there not being 5scc difference between first and last. After rounding this boat there appeared to have been some strange misconception, as to the course, and that the flagship was not to be rounded, as all the vessels stood out to sea, as if making a course of their own. The Bijou was the firstto perceive the error, followed immediately by the Dove, and then by the others in succession. The Dalkey flagboat was rounded for the last time by the Bijou 1, Virago 2, Dove 3, and Magnet 4. On the run back to the Bray Head flag- boat the Dove collared the Virago, and it became a regular stem and stem ding- dong race between these two until passing the last flagboat, when the Virago shot ahead. The Bijou, which was now leading well, hauled her wind, and stood into the shore to cheat the ebb tide which had just began to make. Her example was followed by the Dove and Virago, both still hard at it for second place, which terminated in the Dove, on the starboard tack, putting tV. e Virago on the port tack about, just astern of the flag- ship, and shoving her bowsprit in ahead of her. The following were the times at the flagship:— H. M. s. | II. M. s. I H. M. s. BIJOU 6 8 30 I DOVE 6 14 10 | VIRAO. O 6 14 20 The Virago lodged a protest against the Bijou receiving the prize, on the grounds of the foul between her and the Magnet. The fourth race was between lilliputian clippers for a PUP. SE of £ 5, for which the following vessels started: — YACHT. TONS. OWNER. I YACHT. TONS. OWNER. SNEEZER.. 6 .. F. W. Hammond WAVE...... 3 .. K. O. N. Anderson TORMENT.. 5 .. J. Todhunter | Once round the short course. After a very pretty contest the Sneezer came in just 30 seconds ahead of the Torment, which re- duced the race to a tie, but the owner of the Sneezer refused to sail it over again, consequently the match was nil. A race of small sailing craft, for a PUBSE of £ 3, was won by a queer nondescript sort of craft called the Junk, rigged with Chinese latteen sails. Numerous rowing matches between the ten- oared and six- oared boats of H. M. S. Ajax ensued, as also between the Coast Guard galleys, and between the local fishermen. There was £ 100 distributed in prizes, of which £ 50 was contri- buted by the Dublin and Wicklow Railway Company, and the remainder by the residents of Bray. TEMPLE YACHT CLUB. SAILING MATCH.— MONDAY, AUG 24.— On the above date the third and last match of the season of this club came eff among yachts of the club that had never before won apprize, to be manned by members only. The prizes offered were three handsome silver cups. Five vessels were entered, but one of them ( the Wild Duck) had the misfortune to carry away her mast in a trial trip the pre- vious day, which prevented her putting in an appearance. The following vessels started:— YACHT. TONS. I YACHT.

In this order they continued all the way dowh, and rounded the buoy at Greenhithe as under:— II. M. s. J H. M. s. I u. M. s. EUGENIE 2 30 0 JULIA 2 42 0 RIPPLE 2 42 so IDAS 2 34 0 1 Soon after rounding the Eugenie carried away lier bobstay, and had to make a short leg to the south shore to repair damages, which allowed the Idas to collar her, and the latter had nearly drawn herself clear to leeward, but the Eugenie would not allow this, and after a little manoeuvring she shook off the Idas, and kept her at a respectful distance. The Ripple passed the Julia in Long Reach, and the vessels entered Erith Rands as follows :— Eugenie 1, Idas 2, Ripple 3, and Julia last, and these positions were not changed, the match finishing at Charlton as under :— II. M. S. | II. M. s. I n. M. s. EUGENIE 4 47 30 RIPPLE 5 3 15 JULIA 5 11 17 IDAS 4 54 30 | The vessels were well sailed throughout the race, and great credit is due to the crews for the manner in which they were handled. The Novice, J. Gardner, Commodore ; and Mermaid, W. Hildersley, Vice- Commodore, attended the vessels, which were also accompanied by the Alexandra, E. Harrison ( who kindly offered the members and friends of the club a passage to see the race), the Silver Star, and Fiddler. The members and theirfriends afterwards dined at the club house, where thecups were presented. LONDON ROWING CLUB. LAYTON FOUBS.— This race, for cups presented by Mr Lavton. president ef the above club, came off on Saturday, Aug 2ii, the course being from Putney to Cliiswick. The Childe Harold ( Cap- tain Futer) accompanied the race, which resulted as under: — MR FENNER'S CREW.— 1. J. C. F. May, 2. G. Henty, 3. A. Hodgson, 4. F. Fenner, E. Cockerell ( cox) 1 MR HOOD'S CREW.— 1. A. J. Hare, 2. J. T. Dickin, 3. F. Harnia, 4. 11. Hood, J. Musgrave ( cox) 0 MR DAVIS'S CREW.— 1. J. Bloxam, 2. J. Moore, 3. W. 11. Lowe, 4. J. P. Davis, E. Weston ( cox) 6 MR RYAN'S CREW.— 1. E. E. Pinches, 2. C. Morley, 3. C. Hewett, 4. G. Ryan, W. H. Lucas ( cox) 0 Mr Layton was umpire, and upon the signal for the start, Mr Ryan in the worst station got off first, Mr Fenner last. In a few strokes, however, they were all level, ai-. d eo rowed to the Star and Gaiter, where Mr Hood began to take a lead, but Mr Davis soon came up and passed him. At the Point they were as above, Mr Ryan just being passed by Mr Fenner's crew, who appeared to be rowing easily in the rear of their opponents. A fine race then en- sued to the Soap Works, where Hood came up to Davis, and im- mediately afterwards Messrs Hood, Davis, and Fenner were all neck and neck, which state of things continued to near the pier, where Mr Fenner went ahead, and led by half a length at Ham- mersmith Bridge. Mr Hood now began to leave Mr Davis and Mr Ryan to pick up, but his efforts were unavailing, Mr Fenner winning by two lengths, Mr Hood second, Mr Davis third, and Mr Ryan last, all close togetiter. At the rooms of the London Rowing Club, at the Star and Gar- ter, after the race, the President said : I have much pleasure in presenting these cups to the winners, and I congratulate the ladies and gentlemen who have to- day had the opportunity of witnessing one of the best and closest contests I have in my long experience seen upon the river. I have always myself from early life practised athletic exercises, and encouraged them in others, because I believe them to be the best means of imparting health, vigour, and strength to the body, as well as activity, energy, and self- reliance to the mind. It is by these public dis- plays of skill and manhood that this nation produces such sailors and soldiers as it does, and it is by these means that all classes rank as high as they do for activity and self- dependence. Upon this occasion I have to offer to the winners for their accept- ance these cups ; they are made of that newly- discovered material aluminium bronze ; in this they differ from those I have pre- viously presented, and if they are the means of infusing any fresh metal into the club it will add to the pleasure I have in giving them. The President then, after filling them with champagne, handed them first to the ladies present and then to the winners, who returned thanks in suitable terms. BRAY REGATTA. One of the best managed little regattas we have witnessed for a very long time was held at Bray, near Kingstown Harbour, on Tuesday, Aug 25, and under the most adverse circumstances of weather turned out a complete success, chiefly owing to the ma- nagement of Mr C. Putland, of Bray Head, and his son, Mr G. Rutland, of the Echo cutter. The fiist prize was a PUBSE of £ 30, presented by the Dublin and Wicklow Railway Company, open to all yachts belonging to members of royal yacht clubs of 45 tons and under; a time race, half a minute per ton allowance for difference of tonnage. For this the following vessels were entered : — YACHT. TONS. OWNER. | YACHT. TONS. OWNER. ECHO 37.. G. Putland ZEPHYRI NA 20 W. Martin L'ECLAIR...... 32.. J. H. Townsend | The Zephyrina did not come to the starting buoys, having kissed the ground and established a freehold just previously to the match. At 12: 15 a capital start was effected by the Echo and L'Eclair; the course for these vessels was from Mr Putland's handsome schooner, the Belle, of 70 tons, round the Kish Light- ship, thence to a flagboat moored off Dalkey Island, back through Killiney Bay to another flagboat moored off Bray Head, again round the boat off Dalkey Island, winning between the Belle, which was the flagship of the day, off Bray Head and the shore. The wind was very light at starting southward and east- ward, hauling up westerly as the day progressed, and the two vessels appeared admirably matched. As they drew out to the Kish Lightship the L'Eclair took the lead, and the ship was rounded in the following order:— II. MS. I H. M. S. L'ECLAIR 2 2 0 | ECHO 2 4 30 In much the same order they rounded the Dalkey Island boat, but on the reach down through Killiney Bay the Echo ranged up beam and beam with the L'Eclair at 2: 45, and the spectators along the shore witnessed as prettily sailed a match as could be. The wind almost immediately flew up N. W., and after a strong puff or two it fell flat calm. At 4: 15 old Boreas again woke up, and the Echo went off with the lead. Bray Head boat was rounded thus : II. M. s. I H. M s. ECHO 4 47 15 | LECLAIR 4 .51 15 It was a beat baek to the Dalkey Island boat, and tile Echo car- ried rather too large a jib for turning effectively to windward ; consequently the L'Eclair gained on her considerably. The Echo, moreover, had to make two extra boards in consequence of being put about by the Magnet, which was engaged in the third race. The Island flagboat was rounded by the Echo 20 seconds ahead of the L'Eclair. On the run home for the flagship the L'Eclair ranged up abeam again with the Echo, and after a determined struggle covered and passed her to windward, and as close a race as ever was seen ensued home to the flagship, the Echo fighting every inch of water with her determined tittle rival. The flagship was reached in the following order and times:— H. M. S. I H. M. S. L'ECLAIR .. 6 2 0 | ECHO 6 2 20 The L'Eclair was consequently hailed the winner. The second match was for a PURSE of £ 20, presented by the Dublin and Wicklow Railway Company, open to all yachts be- longing to members of royal clubs, of 30 tons and under. For this the following vessels came to the starting buoys:— YACHT. TONS. OWNER. I YACHT. TONS. OWNER. BANBA 24.... W. J. Doherty SIREN 19.... F. K. Davies ATALANTA .. 27 Nelson Arnold | A very excellent start took place at 12: 15, the Siren going away with the lead, with the Banba nearly abeam of her, and the At. a- lanta close enough for any slioe of luck that offered. The course was the same as that sailed by the vessels in the first match. The Banba shortly afterwards went to the front, and the breeze fresh- ened up, with rain descending in torrents: there was no need for garden engines and indiarubber hose wherewith to damp the muslin. The Banba increased her lead gradually and steadily, and though the Atalanta sailed a plucky and determined race the Banba proved too much for her, and the flagship was reached ia the following order and times:— II. M. S. I H. M. 8. BANBA 6 7 SO | ATALANTA 6 20 O The third match was for a PUBSE of £ 10, for yachts of 15 tons and under. For this the following vessels came to the starting buoys, probably as smart a Mosquito fleet as could well be seen at any yachting station:— YACnT. TONS. OWNER. I YACHT. TONS. OWNER. VIRAGO..,. 11.... Capt J. 8. Byrne DOVE .... 12 T. I). Keogh BIJOU .... 12.... K. D. Kane 1 MAGNET .. 12 E. J. Bolton At 1: 30 the starting gun was fired, but the wind was verv light and the vessels drifted away with the tide frotn their " buoys. Shortly afterwards a breeze sprang up, accompanied by a heavy Danish flags, whilst the bells in the old church rang out merry peals throughout the day. Three military bands were in attend- ance; that of the 5th Fusiliers being stationed on the Pavilion lawn, that of the 83d Regiment on the west cliff, and the 78th Highlanders, with their pip. rs, on the beach, and the whole de- lighted the company throughout the day with some very choice music. Some minor events oB the card having been decided, were followed by the principal contests of the day, viz :— A race by six- oared wager galleys, specially built of wood, and the usual fasten- ings ; not to exceed 40 feet in length, or less than 32 feet. The first prize was £ 25, the second £ 6, and the third £ 4. The entries were:— Eva, of London: E. Carter, A. Hopkins, G. Green, W. Bell, J. M^ ckinney. R. Bain, J. Hill ( oox). Wasp: G. Weninan, A. Kilfoyle, J. Curtis, C. Tagg ( of Moul- sey), T. Tagg ( ditto), J. Tagg ( ditto). Brown ( cox). The Comet of Folkestone, the Rifle of Brighton, and the Anne of Brighton also entered. From the commencement the London boat had the advantage, and this was maintained throughout. After a very spirited contest the race terminated in favour of the London crew by six lengths, the Wasp being second, and the Anne third. The Comet of Folkestone gave up before the comple- tion of the race, which was rowed in 20min; considered to be very fast. This was followed by a race by four- oared wager galleys, not exceeding 30 feet in length; first prize £ 15, second £ 5, and third £ 3. Hie following boats were entered:— Eva, of London: G. Green, W. Bell, J. Mackinney, R. Bain, J. Hill ( cox); Ariel: G. Wenman, A. Kilfoyie, T. Tagg, J. Tagg. The following also entered :— The Lord Warden of Has- tings, the Sylph of Folkestone, the St Leonards of St Leonards, and the Maccaroni of Folkestone. The betting at starting on both occasions was 6 to 4 on Tagg against Baiu's crew. After a very spirited contest the London crew won by eight lengths, tha Ariel being second, the Lord Warden third, and the St Leonards fourth. The Sylph gave up. The others were not placed. The boats used by " the Lambeth crew were built by Mr E. Wyld, of Lambeth. REEBHAJI REGATTA.— A regatta, in which the prizes were given by Mr T. H. Palmer, of Norwich, took place at Reedham, on the Yare, on Thursday, Aug 27. The first prize was a silver tankard, and was competed for by yachts of the Norfolk and ^^ folk Yacht Club. The course was from the iron bridge whresrs carries the Lowestoft branch of the Great Eastern Railway over the Yare to Hordley Cross and back, in all about three miles, and this distance was traversed four times, so that, altogether, twelve miles wore sailed. There was a nice breeze from the 3. S. W. The competitors were the Red Rover, cutter, 14 tons, Mr S. Nightin- gale ; the Myth, cutter, 9 tons, Mr R. J. H. Harvey ; the Rover, cutter, 16 tons, Mr T. II. Palmer ; the Alabama, cutter, 14 tons, Mr E. S. Trafford ; and the Wanderer, cutter, 14 tons, Mr R. J. H. Harvey. The start took place at 1: 55, and the Wanderer led at first, but after about half a mile was passed by the Red Rover, which afterwards gradually drew ahead of her competitors. She completed the match at 3: 32, the Alabama and Wanderer following 4min later," while the Rover came in at 3: 36: 25. The Myth did not complete her course— A Match for wherries, a craft pecu- liar to the Yare and neighbouring streams, was afterwards pro- ceeded with. The prizes offered were a teapot, coffee pot, sugar basin, and cream jug, the master of the wherry coming in first being entitled to select a portion of these articles, while the re- mainder went to the second. The course was the same as in the first match, but only two rounds were sailed for the first prize, the winner then lying to and leaving the others to compete in two other rounds for the second prize. The competitors, being rather large craft, while the river is not very wide, the various boats had the greatest difficulty in rounding the flag near the railway bridge, the more so as they were all close together. The British Queen ( of Reedham) was leading at this point, but got aground, as did two of the others. The first to extricate herself from the somewhat ludicrous embarrassment was the Meteor ( of Surlingham), which then acquired and maintained the lead, win- ning by a respectable distance. The Harriet ( of Strumpshaw) was second. The first prize, ascordingly, went to the Meteor. The contest for the second prize had not concluded when our report was despatched. The weather was wet early in the day, but the afternoon was tolerably fine. BLACKWALL REGATTA.— This regatta, for a new boat and sundry other prizes, took place on Monday, Aug 24, with perfect success, under the management of Messrs Ball and Cannon.— First heat: A. Waller 1, J. Chapman 2, G. Chapman 3. This was a very hollow affair, Waller, after holding the second place nearly all the distance, shot ahead and won as he liked ; it was a mere paddle in all three boats.— Second heat: C. Anson 1, J. Chapman 2, A. Goldsmith 3. They all got off together, ami rowed neck and I neck for half the distance, when Anson shot half a length ahead; Goldsmith, however, rowed right over his stern for a quarter of a mile, and then gave way to Chapman, who came in a length | behind Anson, Goldsmith nowhere.— Third heat: Joseph Chap- : ma:: 1, James Chapman 2, G. Chapman 3 ( 5th prize), A. Gold- smith 1 (>"- h prize). The two Chapmans soon left the others, and on leading them by some 50 yards, paddled home, Joseph Chapman comirg in first by half a length.— Fourth heat: A. Waller 1, Joseph Chapman 2, James Chapman 3 ( 3d prize), C. Anson 4 ( 4th , prize). Waller was last at the start, Anson being a length ahead j of the lot. They thus rowed for a quarter of a mile, when Waller came up, followed by Chapman, and, passing the others, so con- | tinued to the finish, Waller coming in six lengths ahead of the . second man.— Final ; heat: A. Waller 1, J. Chapman 2. Waller, soon after the start, left his ODponent and won completely as he ! liked. I ANTWERP REGATTA.— These sports commenced last Monday, ' and consisted of prizes for yachts, luggers, yawls, and gigs What added to the interest of the occcasion was the presence of R. Bain's celebrated Lambeth crew to contend for the various prizes open to all nations. The first was a four- oared race, for which five crews put in an appearance. The lead was taken by the English, who maintained it throughout, and won easily by six lengths; a very spirited crew from R tterdam being secoiid. On Tuesday a four- oared gig race was won by Bain's crew in a similarly easy manner. A race for 2,000f, open to " all strangers, was next on the list., and for which the Lambeth crew entered ; but only two beats putting in an appearance at the starting post, the prize, according to the conditions, was withheld. CHILDS AND DIXON.— For this scullers race we have received the whole of the money, £ 25 a side. It is to take place Aug 31, in old- fashioned boats, from North Woolwich to Limehouse Hole, at 2 p. m. Childs will be glad to meet his friends the evening before the race at Mr Parker's, Battle of the Nile, Rotherhithe. KEW, BBEXTFORD, AND ISLEYVORTH REGATTA.— We have re- ceived a letter signed " Fair Play" contradicting several state- ments made by U3 last week with respect to the most unfortunate accident which happened at this regatta, and we will willingly publish it if the writer will give it the authority of bis name. LOCKRYAN REGATTA.— This regatta will be held at Stranraer under the patronage of the Roj'al Northern Yacht Club, on Tues- day and Wednesday, Sept 15 and 16. There will be a purse of • £ 50 for yachts over twenty tons, and £ 20 for yachts of smaller size. : Further particulars will be seen in an advertisement. ! THE LATE CHESTER REGATTA.— It should have been stated i that the winner of the skiff race was Mr W. Anderton of the Prince of Wales Rowing Club, who came in first by about four boats' lengths. CHALLENGE.— Four of Phillips's men will row four of Ward's men in old- fashioned boats, outrigged fore and aft, for £ 10 or £ 20 a side, in one month from the first deposit, and will meet them at Mr Bowler's, Billingsgate, on Monday, Aug 31, to make a match, T. Wise of Hammersmith will row Stratford of Lambeth from Putney to Mortlake, and will be at Mr Kemp's, Chancellor's Tavern, Hammersmith, on Monday, Aug 31, prepared to make the match, for £ 25 a side. JOHKSON AND LAKE.— In this match we have received a further sum of £ 4 a side, and the next deposit of £ 5 a side is to be made at Mr Hobbs's, Westminster Arms, Holywell- street, Sept 2. CANNON AXD SHORT.— For this match we have received a fur- ther sum of £ 5 a side, and a similar deposit is to be made at Mr Ramage's, India House, Blackwall, on Tuesday, 8ept 1. THAMES ROWIHG CLUB- A pair- oared race of this club was rowed on Saturday, Aug 22 from Putney Aqueduct to Hammersmith Bridge, and the crews and stations were as follow :— Middlesex station— W. Perrin, Scovell, G. A. Cooke ( cox) ( white) 1 Centre station— W. S. Talbot, Skelton, H. Gore ( cox) ( blue).. 0 Surrey station— C. W. Talbot, A. T. Tubbs, H. N. Hall ( cox) ( red) 0 At the start Red showed in front, Blue next, and White last, but at the Star and Garter the latter had drawn themselves level with the leading boat, Blue being half a length astern. At the L. R. C. boathouse White, wVo had settled down to a long, steady stroke, had cleared their length, and at the Craven were two lengths in advance of Red, upon whom the pace began to tell, and Blue commenced to overhaul them. At the Dung Wharf Red and Blue were level, but the latter stuck to it so pluckily that at the Crab Tree they headed Red by a length, and began to gain upon the leading boat. Despite the most gallant efforts, however, they failed to get quite up, and White passed under Hammersmith Bridge one length and a half before Blue, who were three lengths in advance of Red. The prizes, which were handsome cruet stands, were presented to the winners in the evening at the club room, at the Red Lion Hotel, Putney. LIFEBOAT SERVICES^ ABERDOVEY, CARDIGAN BAY. AUG 17.— On Saturday, two large barks were making for the harbour, the foremost being towed by a steam- tug. It was blowing hard at the time. Owing to there being a considerable fall of wateron the bar, and no quali fied pilot on board the vessel in tow, she grounded on a sandbank, upon which the other bark at once dropped heranohors. Mostof the cargo of the stranded vessel was thrown overboard to lighten her, but it only caused her to drift further on to the banks, when she turned broadside on to the surf, and is now waterlogged. A por- tion of the crew reached the shore in the ship's own lifeboat. Their other boat was washed off the davits. The remaining six of the orews of the vessel were saved by the Aberdovey lifeboat of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. The stranded vessel proved to be the bark William Bromham, of Gloucester, Rees, master, bound from Quebec. The Aberdovey lifeboat afterwards assisted in getting the other vessel into a place of safety. LIFEBOATS AND THEIR NAMES. MR EDITOR : The frequent shipwrecks and the lamentable loss of life on our coasts make it very desirable to increase the number of lifeboats. It is customary to give names to boats, and although Shakspere has said " What's in a name?'' most people take some interest in their family names. It is, therefore, proposed to take advantage of this feeling to found and maintain more lifeboats. The names of Brown. Jones, and Robinson are very general, so that persons bearing any one of them could, by a small subscrip- tion, found and maintain a boat to be called after that name. There must be enough of John Smiths in the United Kingdom to found at least one liieboat which should be named John Smith. As to the more ancient Smythes. if they do not approve of being in the same boat with the modern Smiths, they are sufficiently nu- merous to maintain one of their own. It is suggested to the admirers of field sports that they have a good opportunity of establishing a memoiiai boat in compliment to that fine old English gentleman and mighty hunter, the late Sir Tatton Sykes. Another plan for those who claim descent from the founders of the fifteen tribes of Wales, whose different names would be to unite and establish lifeboats to be called after their mutual an- cestor, for instance, Tudor Trevor, from whom many families in Wales and England are descended. Each of the powerful Scot- tish clans could establish a lifeboat, the Campbells, Macgregors,& c. In old Ireland, where the O'Donnells and the O'Connells prevail, the same opportunity presents itself. For the less common names represented by the roll of Battle Abbey, but varied in the mode of spelling, Maclure, in his Dictionary of Surnames, gives the writer's class of name as an illustration— Moral, Moralley, Morrill, Murrell, & c; even Worrall may be considered as belonging to thesame, sothat a small united subscription would enable us to establish a life- boat. Our royal family would set an example by founding a memorial boat to the iate Prince Consort, who was a vice- patron of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, and took a deep in- terest in its welfare. The Houses of Parliament, religious de- nominations, Freemasons, and all other large societies should be represented by their lifeboats. One of the orders of Odd Fellows has recently concluded to give annual subscriptions to the Na- tional Lifeboat Institution. It is to be hoped they will not rest satisfied till they found and maintain a boat of their own. The town of Ipswich has given a lifeboat. This example is worthy of imitation by other inland towns. If boxes in the shape of boats were put up at railway stations for travellers and others to drop their odd coppers into, it would doubtless be the means of sup- porting railway lifeboats, and contributors would at times have the satisfaction of knowing that they had conferred benefits on themselves and those near and dear to them. Should this plan be adopted, it mightinduce many to contribute who have hitherto done nothing to support the National Lifeboat Institution.— Yours, & c, MICHAEL MOBRALL. Matlock, Derbyshire, Aug 24. FOLKESTONE REGATTA, FRIDAY, AUG 21.— This regatta is always a day on which business is made subservient to pleasure at Folkestone, all classes making it the real holiday of the year. The harbour station of the South Eastern Railway was completely covered with bunting, and the Royal Pavilion Hotel, over the principal entrance, displayed the English; French, Turkish, and SWIMMING. ILEX CLUB.— A meeting of this club was held on Monday evening, Aug 24, at the Lambeth Baths, Mr Harvey in the chair, supported by a large number of members from the majority of the metropolitan rowing clubs. The hard- working secretary, Mr J. P. Davis, having read the minutes of the preceding meeting, the following gentlemen were duly elected members, viz:— Mr A. C. Marshall, Undine Rowing Club; Capt Ommaney, Barnes; Mr G. Bohn, Twickenham Rowing Club; Messrs E. Bright, A. Doughty and W. P. Marquetti, West London Rowing Club ; Mr G. W. Perrott, Ilex Rowing Club ; Messrs Atkinson and Wood- liams, Bank of England ; and Mr J. Parker, 108, Leadenhall- street. The hon sec next read the balance sheet, which showed that the club was in a most flourishing condition, as, after spending the large sum of £ 50 this year in prizes, there was a balance of £ 20 in hand. This necessarily gave great satisfaction to the members, but the efforts of the committee would be aided still more and they would be able to give still better prizes did the members pay their subscriptions early in the year, because as many do not till the middle or end of the year, the committee have necessarily to confine their expenditure to the money they have in hand. After the balance sheet liad been voted correct the important subject of the evening came on for discussion, viz, a proposition by Mr Harvey " That the committee have thepower to engage a swimming master to teach all members of rowing clubs who cannot swim.'' This was seconded by Mr Lynam, and a long discussion followed. In the course of this allusion was made to the sad accident at Kew on the 15th, and it being gene- rally admitted that the art of swimming had not sufficient fol- lowers, and that there were large numbers of gentlemen in rowing clubs who could net swim, it was unanimously agreed that a swimming master be engaged to teach those members of the club who could not swim, and that swimming lessons be given every Monday during the winter months at the Endell- street Baths, commencing on the first Monday in September. It having been decided to give the usual prizes for races in the Lambeth Baths in October, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairmaa and the meeting separated. SWIMMING MATCHES AT WOOLWICH.— A series of interesting swimming matches took place on Monday evening, Aug 24, at the baths, Nelson- street, Woolwich, in the presence of a large assem- blage. The proceedings commenced with a diving match, for which only three entered, Messrs Sullinger, Cansdale, and Ellard. Twenty half- crowns were thrown into the bath, and the com- petitors having drawn lots for order of precedence, Sullinger first dived and recovered but two © f the coins, which were of course again thrown in. Cansdale made the next esaay, and after being immersed precisely one minute rose to the surface with 13 or the pieces, and was warmly applauded. The coins were again thrown in, being considerably scattered in the process, but Mr Ellard made a splendid dive, and after remaining meandering under water for one minute and eleven seconds, came up with both hands and mouth full of half- crowns, having recovered the whole 20! He was therefore declared the winner, amid deafening applause. The next on the programme was a swimming match, five lengths of the bath, for which six entered, Messrs Hobson, Sullinger, Cansdale, James, Warrington, and Ellard, but the latter having gained one prize was not allowed to complete.— First heat: Hobson 1, Sullinger 2, Cansdale 3. The superior length of the winner gave him an advantage over his antagonists which he made the most of, and after a struggle with the second man in the last length, came in a winner by about three yards. Cansdale did not start from the spring- board when the signal was given, and resigned » he contest at the third length.— Second heat: James 1, Warrington 2. The easy action of James, who won without difficulty, was much admired, and some speculation took place as to the result of the final contest between himself and flobson.— Final heat: James 1, Hobson 2. After swimmings dead heat at a rattling pace, and therefore necessitated to repeat- the trial, James won by nearly fwur feet. The whole was excel- lently conducted by Mr Hobbs, umpire, and Mr Humphries, the manager of the baths. A large number of persons assembled at the Bellevue Gar- dens, Manchester, on Saturday afternoon, August 22, to witness two swimming races, for prizes given by the proprietor, Mr Jennison. The contests came off in the new lake, which covers, it is said, five acres of land. For the first race, distance half a mile, or twice round, six lovers of natation entered, tb< v first prize of £ 4 being won by ten yards by P. Johnson of Ma , a^. Chester, J. Aspinall of that city gaining the second, £ 2, sfiTTV youth named Meakin ( a pupil of Professor Poulton) the thira,"" 15s. H. Gurr of London ( a promising practitioner, aged 16, of Mr Woodbridge), after a good struggle with Meakin, gained the barren honour of fourth position, and W. Kewley of Liverpool and R. Barnes of Hollinwood were beaten off.— The Swimming Steeple Chase had four competitors, and it created much amuse- ment, they having to go over two and dive under two hurdles placed in the course, the distance of the race being once round. Johnson defeated Aspinall somewhat easily for the first prize, £ 4, the last- named man, of course, taking the second, £ 2, and a capital struggle took place for third money, 15s, between H. Gurr of London ( who was cannoned by Aspinall on the journey) and W. Kewley of Liverpool, it resulting in favour of Gurr by a yard and a half. The very heavy rain which continued to fall much marred the amusements of the afternoon. Mr W. Woodbridge of London has made a match, for £ 2& a side, to find a man, bar Beckwith, Mather, Gardner, and Do- novan, to swim P. Johnson of Manchester 50 lengths of the Mid- dleton Baths, Manchester, on Sept 14, Mr Woodbridge to receive £- 3 for expenses. The first deposit of £ 5 each has been paid to Mr G. Hardy, of the Rising 8un, Swan- street, Manchester, the stake- holder ; and Mr E. B. Mather has been selected to fill the office of referee. A match lias been made between H. Gurr of London and W. Walker of Manchester to swim 300 yards, for £ 5 a side, en Sept 12, but the articles do not state where. Mr G. Hardy of Man- chester has been appointed stakeholder, and the first deposit has been paid to him. PIGEON FLYING — R. Weston of Derby will fly W. Holmes of the same place a match from Masboro' or Sheffield, for £ 5 a side, open for £ 13. By calling any night this week at the Eagle Tavern, Green- street, Derby, tlae match can be made. S. Fawson of Coventry will fly any other fancier of the same place from five miles up to 20, for £ 5 a side. A match oan be made any Saturday night at Mr J. Arden's, Sea Horse, New- street.

THE MATCH BETWEEN JEM MACE AND JOE \\ GOSS, FOR £ 1,000- This event, which is now the great topic in the milling world, i3 fixed for the present week, and, as far as can be at present judged, all looks square and fair for a merry mill. The final de- posit of £ 330 to £ 220 was duly posted at Mr Richardson's, Blue Anchor, Church- street, on Wednesday evening, in the presence of a very strong muster, and some few heavy bets were laid, the greatest odds being 7 to 4 on Mace, odds which, as far as could be judged, were taken with avidity. Neither of the men was pre- sent, but the chief representative of each was in readiness to t ss for the weighing, an advantage which was won by Mr Tupper on behalf of Joe Goss, and lie has named Mr Saunders's, the Grey- hound, Webber- row, Waterloo- road, where the men are to scale to- morrow at twelve o'clock precisely, and neither is to exceed lOst 101b. Both have been actively training, as • we stated last week, and we are assured by their friends that they are well within their weight, and quite up to the mark in every respect. There has been an al- most insurmountable difficulty in making final arrangements, but we may now say that a little diplomacy has overcome all barriers, and no doubt is entertained as to a satisfactory, if not exactly a peaceful, discussion of the business. The arrangements made involve an unusually early start even in these days, when to be up before the lark is thought no great hardship by the lovers of the fistic art. To indicate the direction in which the expe- dition will proceed would, of course, be madness in the present hostile state of the magisterial world; and we trust that the cle- mency experienced by those concerned in the late fight— between Dillon and Travers— will not induce the entrepreneurs on the pre- sent occasion again to thrust their heads in the lion's mouth in counties where they had been previously cautioned that all was not serene. Present arrangements, however, do not point in this direc- tion ; and we only throw out this hint for the consideration of the parties concerned, incase a move or an adjournment should become necessary, acatastrophewhich wehopemaynottake place. During the week there have been various rumours, springing we know not whence, to the effect that Mace would not flght, that there would be a forfeit on his behalf, & c, & c ; but as to the forfeit, all fear on that score has been ended by Mr Richardson, who at the last mo- ment placed his check for £ 330 in our hands to make all sure. As to Mace's intention to fight, the strongest proof that he is full of confidence and that his friends place every faith in him is that £ 7 to £ 4 is freely laid on him, and one bet of £ 70 to £ 40 has been placed in our hands by Mr Richardson, which was laid by Tom King on behalf of Jem with a backer of Goss. Jem will ar- rive in town this day, and, with Tom King and Little Lead, will take up his quarters at Mr Richardson's, Blue Anchor, Church- street, where he will hold his levees ; he will also give a look in at his own house, the Old King John, Holywell- lane, where his colours may be obtained. Joe Goss arrives at Mr Tap- per's, Blue Boar's Head, Long- acre, this evening, and he will hold a levee to- morrow at the Angel and Crown, Heddon- street, Regent- street, where, as well as at Tupper's, his standard « an be purchased. Owing to the importance of the match we have been at some pains to select the ring- keepers, of whom a list is appended, and we beg to inform these gentry that they must be at the startiiig place half an hour before the ap- pointed hour, when their whips will be given to them by ; Billy Duncan, providing they are sober; and if they are not sober, or if they are " too late, their places will be filled up j by men selected by Messrs Tupper and Richardson, who request , us to state that if they assist in preserving order at the starting place, and protecting the Corinthians, they will themselves reward them according to their merits beyond the usual sums from the P. B. A. We particularly wish to impress upon them the necessity for doing their duty, and preventing persons without tickets from entering the inner ring; and also that it is incumbent on them to protect the referee. Any man against whom a com- plaint may be lodged may take it for granted he will not be paid. The list is as follows:— Billy Duncan, Dan Col- lins, Mike Madden, Joe Rowe, Young Broome, Jack Keefe, Gannon, Patsy R<: ardon, Alec Andrews, George Crockett, Fred Dickenson, arid Job Cobley. As to the whereabouts, all we can say is that particulars may be learned at any of the houses named above on Monday evening, Aug 31, but not before. All other sporting houses will also have tiie tip. Gentlemen wishing to obtain their tickets beforehand can do so by applying either to Tupper or Richardson on Monday evening. Goss wishes us to say his country friends may get the office at Mr Hawkins's, Rose and Crown, High Bullen, Wednesbury. In conclusion, we can only express a hope that there will be'due respect shown to the referee, that his authority will be properly supported, and that the match may be fairly ' fought out on its merits. Oar eye will be on all parties, and wrong- doers may rest assured they will have reason to repent of any misconduct which may come under our notice. YOUNG HOLDEN AND LEAD.— These lads, who flght in the same ring as the above, for £ 50 a side, have staked their final de- posit of £ L0 a side, and are to go to scale at Mr Saunders's, Grey- hound, Webber- row, direotly the big- uns have weighed. Neither is to exceed 8st. Lead takes up his quarters at Mr Richardson's, and Holden at Mr Tupper's, Blue Boar's Head, Long- acre. THE £ 2,000 MATCH. TOM KING AND HEENAN.— OU Thursday, Aug 27, another de- posit for this, the most exciting of modern events, was duly posted at Owen Swift's, the Horse Shoe, Tichborne- street, Hay- market, where, as it was known that both men would attend, the assemblage of spectators was of an almost overwhelming character, and we were pleased to observe that among the eompany there was such a sprinkling of the good old- fashioned mugs as we have not witnessed for many a day. The men were warmly greeted ou all sides, and met on the most friendly terms. There was no betting, and in fact the subject most eagerly discussed was the match between Mace and Gess, respecting which some business was done at 6 and 7 to 4 on Mace. There was, as usual, no difficulty about the rhino, for at the call of time the requisite flimsies were forthcoming, and the ceremonies observable on such occasions were duly observed, after which that portion of the company drawn together by curiosity quickly dis- persed, and the remainder of the evening was devoted to harmony and good fellowship. THE CHAMPIONSHIP. JEM MACE AND RYALL.— For this match £ 5 a side is again down, and we shall require similar stakes on Friday, Sept 4. EVANS AND COOPER.— These Birmingham lads met on Mon- day, Aug 24, at Hodge Hill, five miles from the Hardware Town, at catch weight, for £ 10. Evans's weight did not exceed 7 stone, and Cooper was 8 stone. Evans is quite a novice, and Cooper has figured in two previous encounters. Cooper got the first blood in the second round from the nasal organ of Evans, but that may be said to be the only point he gained, for Evans went to work, repeatedly knocking his opponent down, and punishing him se- verely, whilst he had not a scratch. After contending for 35 minutes and 15 rounds Cooper was compelled to give in. H. ALLEN AND T. COYNE OF BIRMINGHAM.— These men met on Wednesday, Aug 26, at H. Crutchley's, and drew up fresh articles to fight at 9st 121b, for £ 15 a side [ We hold the £ 30] on Sept 22 ( Allen gives Coyne £ 1 to agree to the above time) ; the flght to come off over 10 and under 20 miles from home; Coyne to ohoose the place of fighting, notice of which is to be given to Allen on Sept 18, and to go to scale at White's, George and Dragon, Barr- street, St George's, between six and seven p. m. on Sept 21. Our corre- spondent to choose a referee. FELLOWS AND COOKEY OF BIRMINGHAM.— These men have made their money, £ 10 a side, good to T. Cooper. They fight on Tuesday, Sept 1, Fellows to be 8st 101b and Cookey catch weight. The weighing takes place on Mondaj', Aug 31, at Sandford's, the Pump Tavern, Spring Hill, between two and four o'clock, at which place and Mat Bowers's, Leopard Inn, Gooch- street, the whereabouts may be known. FERGUSON AND HEYWOOD.— On account of the fight, at catch weights, between Bill Ferguson and Harry Heywood, both of Balferd, for which Ferguson stakes £ 12 10s to Hey wood's £ 10, £ 5 and £ 4 has been paid respectively.

Alexander Keene, Robert Webb, George Brown, Frederick Oliver, and John Hicks also at- tended in obedience to summonses for having aided and abetted the said Robert Travers and James Dillon to commit a breach of the peace. The charge having been read to the defendants by the clerk, all pleaded guilty. Col Blandy, the chief constable of the county, stated that he did not desire to press the charge against the several defendants if they would promise not to disturb the peace of the county again. He thought that the justice of the case would be satisfied by their being bound over to keep the peace. Major Court, chairman, intimated that the bench would be satis- fied with that arrangement. With regard to Travers, as he was one of the principals, the bench would require him to enter into his own recognisance in the sum of £ 50, and all the other defend- ants of £ 20 each, not to commit any breach of the peace for six months. The clerk inquired if the chief constable wished to apply for warrants against James Dillon, the other principal, and Na- thaniel Langham and Thomas Tyler, for assisting at the fight, who had been summoned, but had not appeared. Col Blandy replied he would not ask for warrants at that moment, as he fully be- lieved that the parties would attend in answer to the summonses.

PEDESTRIANISM AT HACKNEY WICK. BAKER AND SAMUELS.— On Saturday, Aug 22, these pedes- trians attended J. Baum's enclosed ground to run four miles, for £ 10 a side, the meeting being well attended by the respective par- tisans of the men. The competitors had to pass the referee 28 times, and when the preparatory matters had been adjusted they came to the starting mark, Baker being the favourite in betting. The lead was taken by Samuels, who rattled along at a fine pace, but at the completion of the first lap Baker was not more than some two yards behind. Throughout the whole of the first mile the pedestrians ran in admirable style, keeping well together, but in the first round of the second Baker was to the fore, and he now carried on the struggle at the same merry pace. When the pedestrians passed for the completion of the fifteenth lap, this being the opening of the third mile, Samuels was once more to the front, although he did not hold the lead by more than a short span. The struggle on the part of both was still being sustained in the same plucky and determined manner. There were as the race progressed several other momentary alterations in the position of the competitors, but on the commencement of the fourth and last mile Baker led by three yards. Thus far both had equally sustained the interest of the struggle, and now the race became more than ever exsiting. The competitors continued to keep close together, neither appearing able to get away from the other, and in this manner they ran until three miles and a half of the distance had been covered, when Samuels had the ill luck to come down " a burster," in consequence of having made a false step. Although he did not sustain any serious hurt, still all the running had been effectually taken out of him, so that Baker finished an easy winner. JOE EOWE'S BENEFIT.— On Monday, Aug 24, there were some 1,500 spectators assembled here, it being for the benefit of the well- known Joe Bo we, of P. K. celebrity, who in his day was admitted to be one of the gamest men that ever stepped within the ropes. The entertainment was of a most varied description, but without going into particulars, it will be sufficient to say the principal feature of the doings was sparring in the roped arena, under the superintendence of Billy Duncan, the inspector of the P. B. A. The ex- champion Jem Ward, and Tom King, who is matched with John Heenan for £ 2,000, with many other leading members of the Ring, were present. King, who formed the centre of at- traction, looked remarkably well, and stated that he had received £ 1 from Mr Bush, one of his principal backers, for the benefit of Rowe. Prom the commencement to the finish the whole of the proceedings were carried out with the utmost spirit, and termi- nated in the most satisfactory manner. BATTEN AND FENTON.— On Tuesday, Aug 25, these men met here to run a mile, for £ 10 a side, Batten receiving 10 yards start. In arranging the preliminaries H. A. Heed was chosen referee, and all being ready the pedestrians came to the mark, when Bat- ten was placed the given distance in advance. The odds were in favour of Batten, but there was no money speculated on the re- sult. Fenton, when the strugglecommenoed, displayed a marked superiority in speed, for so quickly did he close in on his oppo- nent that before the third lap had been completed he had suc- ceeded in wresting from him the lead. Having come to the fore, Fenton took up the running at a slashing pace, and maintained the front position until they had entered upon the seventh and last lap; now, however, Batten, to the astonishment of the admirers of Fenton, challenged his man for the lead, and after a flue spurt passed him, and soon left a for- midable gap betweeen them. The instant Batten had compelled his man to resign the lead he had the race secure, as Fenton was so effectually beaten off that he could not come again, therefore his opponent finished a rather easy winner, having run this race from end to end with admirable judgment. The winner can have the stakes at our office on Thursday, Sept 3, at twelve o'clock. PEDESTRIANISM AT BOW. HOWSE OF STEPNEY AND FENTON OF PADDINGTON.— These pe- destrians had to run one mile, for £ 10 a side, Howse receiving 10 yards, and pursuant to articles the event came off on C. Wilson's enclosed ground, the Olympia, Bow, on Saturday, Aug 22. This will make the second match, the men having some short time since contended in a spiu of one mile on Mr J. Baum's ground, when Fenton won with ease. The race, although for quite a minor stake, produced a deal of interest, and there was a capital attendance of metropolitans. The pedestrians had to run three times round the ground and a distance of 150 yards, and in bet- ting, notwithstanding the fact of his former defeat^ the Stepney clipper was the favourite, the odds, 5 and 6 to 4, being freely laid. Both men were in excellent condition. On taking up their posi- tions, Howse was placed the given ten yards in advance, the start having to be made by report of pistol. J. Pudney, the M. C., dis- charged the duties of starter, and on the signal being given the pedestrians bounded off at a clipping pace, having got away on the most even terms, as there had not been the least advantage on the part of either. The pace was in all respects well worthy the men, and as they came by for the second timeFenton was found to have diminished the gap between himself and opponent in a most perceptible manner. During the performance of the second lapFen- ton still further gained on his man, and on the commencement of the third and last round he had improved his position in such a decided manner that Howse did not head him by more than three yards. Both men now gathered themselves well together for the grand final effort, and for the moment, as they went along the back of the course, such a decided " impression" did Fenton make on his man that many imagined he was to win. Howse, however, when his man was within a yard and a half of his quarters " roused up'' in glorious style, and in a fine spurt darted from him. Still Fenton was not to be easily shaken off, for he raced in the most determined manner to the finish, Howse not landing a winner by more than four yards. Fenton was much distressed with the efforts made, and had to be partially led from the ground. The stakes can be received by the winner at our office on Thurs- day, Sept 3, at twelve o'clock. STARLING V TIME.— This was a match in which Starling, a lad of some pedestrian pretension, undertook in the " rough'' to run a mile in five minutes thirty seconds for a small bet, and won with five seconds in hand. OSBORN AND BOOT.— These men also came on the ground to run 150 yards, for £ 5 a side, Osborn receiving one yard start. The men had to go by mutual consent, but if not away in fifteen minutes were to start by pistol. Without going into particulars it will be sufficient to state, just as the pistol was about to be fired, the men, who had before been taking it uncommonly easy, were " frightened off," a fine start however being effected. The result is soon told, for Osborn maintained the advantage of position, and went in an easy winner, Boot, who was the favourite, being defeated by three good yards. W. LANG OF MIDDLESBOROUGH AND H. ANDREWS.— Andrews, it will be recollected, became the winner of the Four Miles Cham- pion Cup, which was contested for some four or five weeks back, for the second time, this handsome trophy having been first given for competition on Tuesday, the 10th March last, to commemorate the auspicious marriage of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, by Mr Wilson, the proprietor of the above ground. Ac- cording to the stipulated conditions, the holder of the cup had for the term of eighteen months to defend his title to the same against all challengers; therefore Andrews had no sooner got invested with the champion honours than he had to enter into the necessary articles with Lang, the gauntlet having been thrown down by the Middlesborough champion, who in his late import- ant matches in the provinces has proved himself one of the best and fastest men of the day. When the relative pretensions of the men came to be dispassionately considered, none could for a moment entertain a doubt as to the issue; for, although it is a fact Andrews has been running extraordinarily well of late, yet in his best form he could not be looked on as sufficiently good to cope with such a clipper as Lang. Still, under any circum- stances, it was fully expected the indomitable Harry would be found sufficiently fast to make a good race of it; and, as will be seen, he not only fully realised the expectations of his friends in this, but may be said to have completely astonished them; as there can be no disputing this pedestrian, to the surprise of all those who assembled on Monday, Aug 21, to witness the race, run in a far superior manner than he had yet done in any one of his preceding matches. The pedestrians had to run 13 laps to complete the distance, and the preparatory7 matters being adjusted they came to the mark. On going oft the lead was taken by Andrews, who went dashing along at a swinging pace, Lang being some two or three yards in the rear. No sooner had the pedestrians commenced the second round than Lang closed up the gap between them, came to the fore, and took up the running in that fine commanding style for which he is noted ; aud when they went by for the finish of the first mile the Mid- dlesborough clipper headed his man by some three yards, the racing on the part of Andrews, for the fine manner in which he maintained the struggle with his opponent, eliciting from the spectators well merited eulogiums. The men thus went rattling along, without the least change in position, until racing the sixth lap, when Andrews in a fine spurt forced his opponent to resign the front position once more to him, although he did not succeed in putting any formidable gap between them, as they were at most not more than three yards apart. Thus, the match still being sustained in the most spirited and exciting manner, the men con- tinued running until they had commenced the thirteenth and last lap, when Lang came dashing to the fore, and, to the admiration of the spectators, raced " home" at such an astounding pace that Andrews was fully 70 yards in the rear, Harry indeed being to all in- tents andpurposesbeaten when Lang passed him forthe final spurt. The four miles were run by Lang in 20min 13sec, and a greater proof of Andrews's merit cannot be given than to say he ma- naged up to the final lap to live the pace with him. The cup was presented to Lang the same evening, and he has now to hold it against all challengers, the stakes being £ 25 a side in addition to the other prize. The winner can have the stakes at our office on Thursday, Sept 3, at twelve o'elock. HAREW00D ARMS, LEEDS, AND NEIGHBOURHOOD. FOSTER AND W'HITTLE.— Mr Woolfoot has to forward articles and £ 1 a side, which is to be made into £ 5 a side, on Saturday evening, Aug 29, to Mr G. Hardy, Rising Sun Inn, Swan- street, Manchester, for a match between W. Foster of Leeds and E. Whittle of Chorley to run 1- 10 yards, for £ 50 a side. The race is fixed to take place at St Thomas's Grounds, Stanningley, on Saturday, Oct 17. RABBIT COURSING.— This kind of sport appears to be all the go in this district, and if we may judge from the number of people present to witness the following matches at the Cardigan Arms on Saturday, Aug 22, it has now become the most popular sport of the day in this district. LILL AND FLORA.— AUG 22.— The match to run the best of 21 courses at rabbits, for £ 25 a side, between Mr Suuderiand's bitch Lill of Woodhouse and Mr Marshall's bitch Flora of Gildersome, the latter being allowed one dead rabbit in consequence of being lib lighter dog, created a greater amount of interest than any rabbit coursing match has ever been known to do in this district. For some time previous to the match being run a large amount of money had been laid out on the event, Flora being the favourite at slight odds, she having won a large number of matches, and only having lost the first she ever ran. Lill had only run about two matches previous to this, and in such a style as to induce her backers to make the present match. On the morn- ing of the race Flora was the favourite at 5 to 4, at which a fair amount of money was laid out. On the dogs being weighed Lill was found to be a few ounces beyond her stipulated weight, but it was so small that the opposing party made no objec- tion to the match going on. On arriving at the grounds there was a very large assembly of people, which, as the day advanced, amounted to more than two thousand, most of whom speculated on the event. Betting was very brisk, and just previous to starting not more than 11 to 10 could be ob- tained on Flora. Not less than £ 500 was speculated on the result of the match. Both dogs were in first- rate condition, but if any- thing, to our fancy, Flora was too finely brought down to com- pete with one both taller and heavier. However, both dogs were a credit to their trainers, J. Cooper Flora, and D. Shaw Lill. The match was commenced by Lill getting the first two rabbits. In those two courses it appeared evident that Flora was outmatched, for Lill showed better speed and a good clicker. Lill now be- came the favourite and was freely backed at 5 to 4. Flora got the next three courses. The odds again changed, and Flora was again the favourite at 5, and in some instances 6 to 4. Lill got the sixth, Flora the seventh course. Lill then got four in suc- cession, and again became the favourite at the above odds. This state of betting was of short duration, for Flora obtained the next three courses, which made them on the same terms as when they started. 5 to 4 was again freely laid on Flora. Lill, however, proving the stronger dog obtained the next four courses and won the match. Such a rabbit coursing match has been rarely if ever witnessed ; all the rabbits ran as strong as hares, and the dogs as strong as greyhounds, and we must give all parties present credit for their orderly and pleasant conduct. Even the losers on the match expressed their satisfaction at the first- rate sport they had witnessed. FLY AND CATCH.— The match, for £ 10 a si « ! e, between B. Godly's bitch Fly and J. Hadfleld's dog Catch ( both from the neighbourhood of Dewsbury) to run the best of 21 courses, came off on the same day, at the same place, the dog being allowed a dead rabbit. There wits very little betting on this event. The match ter- minated by the dog winning, the bitch only getting seven oourses. POLLY AND SWEEP.— Mr Woolfoot has now received 50s a side for the rabbit coursing match between R. Driver's bitch Polly and J. Blagburn's dog Sweep, which are matched to run the best of 17 courses at rabbits for £ 7 10s. The match is fixed to be run at the Cardigan Arms on Saturday, Sept 5. CATCH AND POLLY.— A match has been made for J. Hadfield's dog Catch and J. Chappell's bitch Polly to run the best of 31 courses at rabbits, 60 yards law, for £ 15 a side, the dog to have two dead rabbits. Mr Woolfoot has received articles and the first deposit, and is appointed stakeholder and referee for the match, which is fixed to come off at the Cardigan Arms, Leeds, on Satur- day, Sept 12. CRAB AND TIP.— Mr G-. Bennett has received £ 5 a side for the match to run the best of 13 courses between VV. Browning's dog Crab and VV. Watmough's dog Tip, which are matched to run, for £ 20 a side, at St Thomas's Grounds, Stauningley, on Saturday, Sept 19. FLORA AND BESS.— A match, for £ 25 a side, has been made for Marshall's Flora of Gildersome and Britton's bitch Bess to run the best of 21 courses at rabbits, neither dog to exceed 161b.

Judson and £ 5 from W. Newall for their 200 yards race, for which Judson lias to stake £ 25 to Newall's £ 20, the half of which is now down. The race is fixed to be run at St Thomas's Grounds, September 12. CANINE.— ROSE AND KETTLEDRUM.— The 200 yards race, for £ 5 a side, between D. Dodgson's bitch Rose and J. Mason's dog Kettledrum, was run at St Thomas's Grounds, Stanningley, on Monday, Aug 24, when the bitch won. STRAWBERRY HOTEL GROUNDS, LIVERPOOL. WRIGHT AND SHAW.— The 150 yards match between these men came off on Saturday, August 22, in the presence of a large con- course of people, Wright being proclaimed winner by about three yards. J.

Scott of Liverpool and Maxwell of Carlisle are matched to wrestle the best of five falls, Cumberland and Westmoreland style, for £ 25 a side, at ll § st weight.

SWISS GARDENS, SHOREHAM, NEAR BRIGHTON.— The Five Mile Handicap, for a cup value 12 guineas for first, and one of lesser value for the second, given by Mr Goodchild, was contested for on Monday, Aug 24, JS. Mills ( Young England) going from scratch, Richards ( the Welshman) 200 yards start, Brunell of Hoxton 200, Howse of Stepney 400. Great interest was excited to see the performance of the London men, especially the famed Young England. From end to end the race was most gallantly contested, the style of Mills, as he dashed along, being much ap- plauded by the more than two thousand persons assembled, as gradually he drew upon his men. The stalwart J. Howse, how- ever, who was in most excellent fettle, was never overtaken, for, notwithstanding all Mills's efforts to pass him, he failed in doing so, Howse breasting the tape first by barely three yards, Mills second, Brunell third, close up, and Richards only lialf- a- dozen yards behind the third man. The competitors were loudly cheered, and the exciting finish gave every satisfaction, as did the whole of the proceedings throughout. The cups were duly de- livered up to Howse and Mills in the evening, when much con- viviality took place. GREAT SEVEN MILES ( HANDICAP) WALKING CHAMPION BELT.— At the Strawberry Hotel Running Grounds, off West Derby- road, Liverpool, on Saturday and Monday, Oct 3 and 5, the above splendid trophy will be contested for, which, for value and beauty of design, has never yet been excelled.

EACING IN FRANCE. ( FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) SELL'S LIFE OFFICE, Saturday Night, 12 o'clock. DIEPPE STEEPLE CHASES. SUNDAY, AUG 23.— When the entry for the Dieppe Handicap was first published it certainly appeared that the extreme liberality that always characterises the management of this meeting was exceedingly well appreciated by the lovers of steeple chasing in both England and France, as no fewer than twenty- four were named at Mr Marshall's and M Grandhomme's, being only three lees than in 1861, when the entry comprised twenty- seven, of which twelve starters came to the post. Casualties that must more or less be attendant to the sport have, however, this year affected Dieppe Steeple Chases mere than usual, for out of the twenty- four entered a long list might appear of unfortunates that have been placed hors de combat for this season, at least by the awful hardness of the around and state of the various courses that have been run over in France during the late summer. It, therefore, did not surprise us to find on our arrival at Dieppe last Suhday that only ten horses had been brought to the place for the two events, of which there were only seven for the great race, so that the condition that stated that the whole of the public money ( 7,000f) would not be given unless eight started had to be complied with, and the stake reduced to 5,000f. This falling off in the expectation of sport, however, did not tend to decrease the interest of the public, for, the weather proving fine, a very large attendance filled every vacant space in the neatly erected Stands, as well as every adjacent spot from whence a view of the running ground could be obtained. The course afforded very good going, as, al- though rather hard underneath, there was a capital covering Of thick grass as to take off all the jar, and great attention had this year been paid to levelling all the approaches to the fences. A plentiful supply of brushwood was, moreover, placed on the taking offside of all the ditches and water jumps, so that many accidents were now avoided that happened last year, when several horses galloped right into these places, oil account of having no guide as to what they really were. The race for the Grand Handicap was, of course, the principal attraction of the day. and for it seven came together, but there seemed a possibility that even this number would be di- minished, for just prior to starting the owner of Worcester lodged an objection against Hazard, on the strength of the 32d law of racing, which treats on forfeits, by reason that Hazard was in the forfeit list indebted to him, although at the time it was incurred the mare was in the nomination of another owner, having been sold recently to M Moyse of Paris. The plea that was set up against this objection was, that forfeits do not follow out of the country, and further that English laws cannot be ap- plied to French races, unless so stated in the conditions. M Laffitte, as the steward, refused to decide the case, but recommended that it should be referred to the French Jockey Club, and M Moyse then declared that he Bhould be quite content to abide by a Jockey Club decision, upon which Mr Rich withdrew the objection. We have taken the trouble to mention this affair fully, because we think that it in- volves a question of very great importance as ^ regards the relative positions of the " Turfs" of England and France. The laws of racing of the two countries are nearly the same, and without desiring that or. e country should be governed by the laws of another, we think that the two codes should have a con- necting link in those particular rules that are so especially worded for the prevention of fraud ; for there certainly can be but one opinion, that if a man be a defaulter in one country he ought to be a defaulter in every other, and if a herse cannot run in England because his owner or late owner chooses to asso- ciate his name with dishonourable debts, why should he be considered honourable enough to run in France? For the description of the chief event of this meeting we must refer our readers below; suffice it to state that M Desvigne's gallant grey, Auricula, had the race in hand throughout, thereby repeat- ing his performance of last year, though since then lie has con- siderably improved in his style, for from being a tearing, rushing brute, he is now a beautiful steady goer, and quite quiet enough to become a lady's hunter. He has always been trained by A. Briggs, of Le Pin, to whom his improvement does considerable credit. The two other races do not require any comment., being only marked by incidents of a " refusing character.'' In con- clusion we must personally thank M Laftitte and M Leclerc le Febvre, the mayor of the town, for their kindness and courtesy to us during our brief stay at Dieppe, and hope that next year we shall be able to report a still greater success to their meeting. GRAND STEEPLE CHASE HANDICAP of 500f, given by the town of Dieppe and the Steamboat Company, for all horses; entrance 300f, 200 ft, and 100 only if declared; the second received l, 000f out of the stakes; a winder of a stake worth 3,000f after the publication of the weights to carry 41b extra; three miles four furlongs, over 26 fences ; 24 subs, of whom 14 declared forfeit. M Desvigne's gr g Auricula, by the Baron out of iEola, 6 yrs, 1541b ( including 41b extra) Young 1 Mr Andersoi.' s b g Playman, aged, 1571b Ben. Land 1 M P.

Holman 0 M Desvigne's ch g Rigoletto, G yrs, 1361b Qulnton 0 Betting: 6 to 4 agst Auricula, 5 to 2 agst Worcester, 7 to 2 agst Playman, ar. d 5 to 1 agst each of the others. The favourite went away in front, followed by Rigoletto, with Playinan lying third, Worcester fourth, Biribi next, and Mr Moyse'stwo, who were both thrown out at the first fence ( a double), whipped in several lengths in the rear. Excepting that Rigoletto fell back into fourth place after clearing the wall there wa3 little alteration in positions during the first round until coming again to the " double,'' at which Biribi now made a mistake, and lost considerable ground, whilst Worcester here took second place, and followed the grey over the brook, both horses doing it beautifully, as did also Playman, just in their wake ; and to these three was the race now entirely con- fined, for Rigoletto showed an evident disinclination for water by bolting to the left of it, and the other three followed too far in the rear to have the slightest possible chance. Young took a judicious pull on the grey before coming to the next fence, and this allowed Worcester to take up the running, which he held, waited upon by the other two, until over the wall, when he tired, and, blundering at the succeeding fence ( an awkward grip), came down a cropper with Holman, which left the lead once more with Auricula, who quite outpaced Mr Anderson's game little horse at the finish, and won very easily by four lengths ; Biribi, who made up a deal of ground after his mishap, coining in third, about five or six lengths from Playman, and at a still greater interval fol- lowed Jester, who was fourth. Holman remounted Worcester after his fall, but, being quite beaten, he came to trouble again at the big bank, and was then stopped. Net value of the stakes, 8,100f (£ 324). The SELLING STEEPLE CHASE of 2,400f, given by the Western Railway Company ; entrance 150f, h ft; 1361b each, with sell- ing allowances, & c ; two miles ; 10 subs.

Young 0 Betting : 2 to 1 each agst Jean du Quesne and Archiduchesse. Both Archiduchesse and Jean du Quesne refused the first fence, which gave Max a long start, but lie refused at the brook, and Archiduchesse then coming up, and taking it in very good style, got away many lengths in advance of Max, who was only got over by the most determined effort on the part of Quinton, and the mare refusing the wall let him up again, thoughhere a sceneof repeated refusals was witnessed, in which both were conspicuous, Archi- duchesse, however, getting over first, and eventually she can tered in alone. Jean du Quesne was not persevered with after refusing the first fence. PRIXDE CONSOLATION of 2,000f, for the beaten horses in the two preceding races; entrance lOOf ; the second received the entries; 1301b each ; two miles.

Rigo- letto made running to the brook, which he obstinately refused, and M Moyse's two taking it all right, had the race to themselves, Jester, however, always keeping in front, and winning by thirty or forty lengths. After a deal of trouble and tine horsemanship, Quinton succeeded in making Rigoletto jump the brook, and go round the course, amidst great applause from the spectators.

La Marciie 15 I Baden- Baden( Steeple I Chases) 10 THE CAMDEN HOUSE FIRE: CROYDON ASSIZES, SATURDAY, SEPT 29.— The court sat to- day at half- past nine o'clock. The case for both plaintiff and defend- ant having been concluded, Mr Lush proceeded to sum up the defendant's case, and Mr Bovill addressed the jury for the plain- tiff, in reply upon the whole case.— Baron Bramwell then summed up very briefly, considering the lengthened period of the inquiry, and he observed that from the great attention the jury had paid to thd evidence, he felt that it was unnecessary to weary them by going through the whole of it in detail. The case was undoubtedly a very important one. It was great importance to the public, and. it was of vital importance to the plaintiff, and probably the fire offices were the most interested in the question, as from their eminent respectability and great wealth, the amount involved, although undoubtedly large, was not at all a consideration. He thought it right to express his opinion that the Sun and the other offices whose names had been mentioned would not for a moment have thought of contesting such a claim if they had not believed they had good and sufficient grounds for disputing it; but it devolved upon them to make out affirmatively to the satisfaction of the jury the plea they had just put upon the record that the fire had been wilfully caused by the plaintiff. The question then for their consideration was whether they had done so. It was ob- vious that, before they could return a verdict for the defendants, they must come to the conclusion that the plaintiff had not only been guilty of the crime of arson, but that he had also been guilty of forgery, fraud, and if he had wilfully sgt fire to the house and any of the Temple family had lost their lives, an event which very nearly happened, he would also have been guilty of the crime of murder! The question of motive or the absence of it ought not to have too much weight in such an inquiry ; but, although he could understand that a wicked man might be ready to destroy £ 50 worth of property in order to ob- tain £ 10,000, it was difficult to conceive that any one would wil- fully destroy property to a very large amount, when, as was sug- gested, and as really appears to be the case in the present in- stance, the amount insured for would hardly cover the loss.— The jury were not more than two minutes deliberating before they returned a verdict for the plaintiff for £ 4,000, the amount of the policy.— Mr. Bovill said the interest would amount to £ 255 16s. 5d. The jury found a verdict for this sum in addition.— It was then arranged, with the consent of both sides, that the jury should be paid a guinea for each day they had attended. CARD PLAYING IN PUBLIC HOUSES- To- day, at Clerkenwell police eourt, Henry Hunt, landlord of the Prince Regent public house, New- court, St. Luke's, was sum- moned by the police for suffering cards to be played in his house, contrary to the tenor of his license. A constable swore to going to defendant's house, and seeing him and three other persons playing at cards. The defendant denied that four were playing. He was playing a simple friendly game with an acquaintance) who had come to see him, and they were neither playing for money nor drink. Iri answer to questions, the inspector of police said the house was well conducted, and no previous complaint ha< j been made. The magistrate ( Mr Cooke) said the fact of cards baing played in a public- house was in itself an illegal act, and contrary to the tenor of defeedant's license, and the circumstance of not playing for money or drink in no way altered the case, and every publican was bound to know the law. As it was the defendant's first offence, he should only line him one shilling and costs; but if he was brought there again on a similar charge he should deal with him very severely. THE STRAND POSES PLASTIQTJES- To- day, at Bow- street police court, Joseph Hughes and Alfred Hoffard were summoned, under an Excise prosecution, for keep- ing a refreshment house, and also for selling wines and spirits^ & c., without a licence. The house to which the prosecution re- ferred was formerly known as the Cyder Cellars, in Maiden- lane, and having an entrance in the Strand. Complaints had been laid before the magistrates of the indecent nature of the Poses Plas- tiques and the mock trials of a judge and jury society held there, in consequence of which the renewal of the license was refused, but they were still carried on at 404, Strand, under the title of the " Hall of Justice." The defendants pleaded guilty to the first count, charging. them with keeping a refreshment house without a license, and hoped that the Crown would be satisfied, and not press for conviction in the other cases. Mr Henry refused to listen to any such arrangement unless a distinct pledge was given that the indecent Poses Plastiques and mock trials should be given up. He ultimately convicted the defendants, and inflicted a fine of £ 20 in the first count, and ordered the other counts to stand over for a period of three^ months to see if the defendants kept their promise to abandon these objectionable exhibitions. ROBBING AN EMPLOYER. To- daj-, at Marlborough- street, Wm. Barker, barman in the em- ploy of Mr Surridge, landlord of the Black Horse, Coventry, street, was charged with robbing his employer. It appears that Mr Surridge, having a suspicion that the prisoner was robbing him, examined his bedroom, and under the carpet he found a hole in which was a bag containing 22s; this was on Monday, Aug 24. Burridge then consulted the police, and on Thursday Sergt Joy, 9 C, was called in, and some marked money given to him. Later in the day Laskey, 121 C, was also called in, and he went upstairs, and on the bag being examined the money in it was found to be £ 4 6s 6d. On Friday two holes were bored in a par- tition of the room, and Laskey placed to watch, and he saw the prisoner go into the room, and afterwards go down stairs ; and on Surridge, Sergeant Joy, Laskey, and the prisoner all going up to the room, and the bag being taken from the hole, it was found ocontain £ 5 18s 6d, all in silver, and in packets of £ 1 each. The prisoner, who denied all knowledge of the bag, was then taken to the station.— Mr Knox remanded him. LOSS OF FOUR LIVES IN THE RIVER. To- day Mr Humphrey held two inquests on persons who had been drowned in the river. The first was on the body of Rober,. Crush, aged 15. The deceased fell off the brig John, of Hartle- pool, on Wednesday last, off Lower Sliadwell, but the body was not recovered till Friday. Verdict— Accidental Death.— The se- cond was on the body of a man unknown, about thirty years o^ age, found of! the Regent's Canal Dock, and had been in the water eight or ten days. Verdict— Found Drowned.— This morning the body of a boy quite naked, about 12 years of age, was found float- ing in the river off King James's Stairs. It is supposed he had been bathing, but his clothes have not been found.— Another body of a man about 40 years of age, and dressed in the garb of a me- chanic, was picked up in the river off Wapping Old Stairs. The two latter bodies await inquests. CRYSTAL PALACE.— Return of admissions for six days ending August 29 ( including season ticket holders). 33,262. CRICKETERS' REGISTER. ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN.

The Soutiigate captain won the toss and put the strong Surrey team in. Messrs R. D. and V. E. Walker, however, succeeded ( but not without a good deal of luck) in disposing of them for the comparatively small score of 84, one wicket 011 the Southgate not having fallen till the telegraph announced 25. Any odds were offered. The same gentlemen bowled through the second innings of Surrey, and owing to nearly every chance coming off, Southgate won by seven wickets.

AUG 24.— Mr John Walker brought an excellent Middlesex team on Monday, Aug 24, to meet the County of Surrey, for the benefit of this old and deserving cricketer. It is a long time since these counties have met in the field, and they did so on this occa- sion for a worthy purpose. Had the original match been played, there would probably have been more sixpences taken at the gate, but we are convinced the subscriptions will more than compen- sate for the absence of a ring. Unfortunately the rain prevented more than an hour's play on Wednesday, and the match had, there- fore, to be drawn, closing the London season of 1663. Surrey wan the toss, and sent in Mortlock and Jupp ; the wicket keeper settled the latter; total five runs. The second wicket ( Stephenson's) went for 26, and the third ( Griffith's) for 41. Caffyn then joined Mort- lock, when the latter was immediately run out, contributing 26 by three threes, three twos, & c ; total four, for 43 runs. Caffyn was splendidly caught off a good hit; total the same. Mr Dowson and Humphrey then got a hold, and increased the total to 88, when mid- on made a good catch from the slows. Humphrey's figures were three fours ( drive, cut, and a leg- hit) two twos, & c. Mr Dowson soon followed, being caught mid- on, after a finely played innings of 27, composed of two fours, two threes, three twos, and singles ; thus the seventh wicket fell for 91 runs, and the remainder could only manage to make the total 95 ; time, quarter- past two. Hearne bowled remarkably well, and Mr V. E. Walker, as well as Mr John, was all there. Middle- sex sent in Mr Sewell and Wells. Seven were scored, when Sewell would not all » > w his namesake to stop. Wells made a good cut for five, and then Sewell likewise disposed of him ; thus two went for 16 runs. Hearne and Mr Lee ( who we were glad to see in the field again) caused a total of 75, and brought Mortlock on at Caffyn's end and Griffith at Sewell's. The left- handed " trowler'' immediately got two wickets— his first over Hearne's, and in his second Mr I. D. Walker. Hearne's 34 was a finely played innings, combining both hitting and defence. It comprised a five ( drive from Mortlock), four fours ( three drives and a cut), three twos, and singles. The third and fourth wickets fell for 75, and the fifth ( Mr Lee's) for 78, he himself playing a spirited innings of 24, composed of a five ( drive from Sewell), two fours ( leg- hits), a three, and singles. Mr Cooper ( Cheltenham cricketer) and Mr V. E. then secured a hold; 119 runs were duly posted to Middlesex, when the renowned Tom " held '' one from Caffyn. His innings was a steady and well played one, com- prising two threes, a two, and singles. Mr V. E. immediately followed, Mr Miller being the cause of his retiring. The figures attached to his name were a four ( leg- hit), a three ( drive), four twos, and singles. The total, at the fall of his wicket, was unal- tered. The eighth and ninth ( Messrs Bayford's and John Walker's) gave proof that Middlesex had not much of a tail end; they in- creased the score to 149, when the former gentleman drove the ball back to the slow bowler. Mr John went immediately after- wards, contributing 18 by two fours ( leg- hits from Mortlock), two twos, and singles The innings closed at lialf- past six o'clock for 152, or 57in majority of their opponents. On Tuesday the weather was unfavourable, but, nevertheless, Surrey went to work in ear- nest, but Jupp having been disposed of by the slows, Mortlock and Griffith gave the Middlesex men some leather hunting to the tune of from 9 to 86. Mr John Walker left the wicket- keeping business to Mr Cooper and took the ball, and from him Mortlock was stumped, playing one of his usual masterly innings, composed of a four ( leg- hit from Hearne), five twos, and singles. The third wicket ( Caffyn's) went for a total of 121, being splen- didly caiight at long square leg ; his 20 comprised a four ( cut from J. W.), a three, and five twos. Griffith was not long ere he followed his late partner, being caught at mid- wicket from Wells, who was performing with considerable head work. In his 74 he made an off- drive from Mr V. E. out of the ground ( bounding over) ; the hit was from the pavilion end. He also made a drive for five from Mr J. W. Five fours ( drives and cuts), four threes, seven twos, & c. He gave a left- handed look as he passed the corner of the pavilion, but the " office" was not given— more than being loudly applauded. Four down for 132. The fifth ( Hum- phrey's) fell for 173, making a steady 24 by a four ( leg- hit), six twos, and singles. The bowling now appeared completely col- lared, but the fielding and working throughout were excellent; changes w ere repeatedly made, but runs were added very fast. The sixth wicket ( Mr Dowson's) went for 185 runs, the seventh ( Stephenson's) for 214, the eighth ( Sewell's) for 221, and the ninth ( Lockyer's) for 233 ; and the innings closed at ten minutes past one o'clock on Wednesday for 249, leaving Middlesex 193 to get to win. At this state of the game rain came 011, and did not again cease during the day, so that the contest ended in a draw in favour of Surrey ; and we trust the balance of cash will be largely in favour of the renowned Tom. One well- known sup- porter of cricket enclosed four fivers to him. We shall be able in our next to give the items in detail. Score: SURREY. 1st inn 2d inn W. Mortlock. run out 26 st Cooper b J.

NORTH v SOUTH OF ENGLAND AUG 27.— This match was commenced at Edge Hill, Liverpool, on Thursday last. The ground itself was a perfect picture, and showed that great care had been bestowed upon ic by Perry, the professional bowler. George Parr, who has not yet recovered from his accident at Cranbrai, stood umpire with him, and they having selected the wickets, and the toss having been decided, Willsher, on the pvt of the South, had to take the field. The North side was selected by George Parr, in whose place Alfred Clarke played, and Wootton officiated for R. Daft. The weather was somewhat, dull, but playable up to a certain period ; the ground was dead. Lockyer was absent oil the South side, but H. H. was quite at home at the wicket. Griffith took point, and Willsher and Bennett started the bowling, Mortlock, of course, long- stopping. Tarrant and Rowbotham were sent to the wickets, and in Bennett's second over the former was caught at long square- leg, and the first wicket fell for 3 runs. Anderson came, and ran himself out— total, two wickets for 6 runs. Row- botham then played on— total, three wickets for 11 runs. The two cracks then got together, and brought Caffyn on at Bennett's end — total, 32. Maiden overs were now continually bowled, which sufficiently speaks for the excellence of the bowling against such bats as Hayward and Carpenter. The}' then made a three each off Caffyn, when Carpenter jumped in at Willsher, and was caught at mid- off. His figures were two threes ( drive and a square leg- hit), a two, and singles— total, four wickets for 41 runs. E. Ste- phenson followed, and also made a jump in to a ball from Will sher, and was caught long mid- on— thus five wickets fell for 53 runs. Alfred Clarke joined Hayward, and when the dinner bell rang the telegraph announced 58 runs for five wickets— Hayward ( not out) 32, and Clarke in twelve minutes without scoring. After dinner three overs were bowled, Clarke making a square leg- hit for two, when rain came on and stopped the play for one hour; total 60. After the rain, play was resumed, but the light was very bad, and Hayward was bowled, after playing a fine innings of 34, for the bowling was first- rate, and the ground very difficult; his figures were four threes ( two leg- hits, a cut, and drive), four twos ( three cuts and a drive), and singles. Six wickets had now fallen for 64 run . Betting: 6 to 4 on the South. Grundy, the seventh wicket, went for 69, being well caught at the wicket, as was also Wootton ; total, eight for 70. Jackson oame, and made a good stand with Clarke— both playing under difficulties. Clarke had persevered most manfully, and played a splendid innings of 23, com- posed of a four ( leg- hit), two threes, three twos, & c. Jackson drove the ball back to Bennett rather sharply; it was well fielded and thrown back, disturbing the stumps before the batsman could get home. The innings closed at half- past five, for 114. The bowling was splendid throughout.. The South then com- menced, and lost oxe wicket for 6 runs; Mr Kelson being bowled the first over. FRIDAY.— Shortly after eleven the bell rang for play, when Mr Grace and Griffith made their appearance to the bowling of Wootton and Jackson. The ground was livelier, and they " bumped'' a bit. Griffith scored fast at first off Jackson, but at length he drove one back rather sharply to the bowler, having contributed 15 by a four ( drive), two threes, and singles; two wickets had now fallen for 29 runs. Mortlock followed, and nearly run out. Mr Grace was immediately afterwards caught at the wicket, playing a somewhat " steady" innings of 17, inclu- ding two fours ( drives from each bowler), two twos, and the rest were in singles; three wickets down for 35 runs. Caffyn joined his brother county player, but their companionship did not exist long— Mortlock, letting out at one of Jackson's, gave Grundy a " skyer" to perform upon, which he did to the satisfaction of himself, and thus four went for 41. Caffyn's off stump was then dislodged by Jackson, which made a total of 43. H. H. Stephenson and Bennett were then seen together, and the former made a good cut from Jackson for four, and then a drive for that number, when he was bowled off his legs; total 61 for six wickets. Ellis followed, and soon made 9 runs, by a three, square leg- hit from Wootton for four, and a drive for two. Rain here stopped the game for upwards of half an hour. Ellis then rattled away in a brilliant style, scoring 20, while Stephenson onlj- obtained three singles. They brought on Jackson at Grundy's end. Wootton then got one by Ellis— an ex- cellent ball; his figures were two fours, two threes, three twos, and singles. Seven wickets had now been disposed of for 84 runs, and the betting against the runs being got off. Julius made a three, and was caught short square- leg ; eight for 87 runs. Sewell joined Stephenson, and he, too, soon passed Stephenson's score of 8, for which he had been in one hour and a half. Sewell soon made two fours, when Stephenson attemtped ' too short a run. When he went to the wickets the total was 42, and when he re- tired it was 98, of which he scored the odd 8 only ! all in singles— an unusual circumstance for so brilliant a hitter. Willsher, the last man, joined 8ewell, and great excitement prevailed as to the 114runs being wiped off. The telegraph announced 112, when Will- sher made a single tothe leg from Wootton. Tinley bowled amaiden ( slows), and off Wootton's next Tinley made a tie innings of it. Sewell then made another single, and Willsher was bowled by the slows— thus heading their opponents by 1 run only. Sewell's 20 comprised three fours, a two, and singles. The innings closed at ten minutes past two o'clock, and a finer display of the game could not possibly have been exhibited. Wootton's bowling was magnificent, as was also the fielding of the North side, with one or two exceptions. The arrangements throughout were com- plete, and Mr Langton, the energetic hon sec, was ever in attend- ance to see that all the necessary and proper arrangements were carried out according to the usual custom on this ground. Our parcel left the ground at half- past, three, and a telegraph despatch gives us the result of the day's play. Score : NORTH. 1st inn 2d inn J. Rowbotham, b Willsher 4 c Bennett, b Ellis 10 G.

On Wednesday, Aug 12, shortly after the termination of the match between the gentlemen of Hampshire and Sussex, a pub- lic meeting was held at the Antelope Hotel, Southampton, for the purpose of taking the preliminary steps for forming a county cricket club, by means of which annual contests with Surrey, Sussex, & c, can be secured, and an organisation provided for fos- tering and encouraging our national game. The proceedings were attended with the most gratifying unanimity aiad success. Col Bathurst, M. P., filled the chair, and amongst the local sup- porters of cricket there were present Col Tryon, Messrs H. Frere, E. L. Ede, G. M. Ede, H. G. Green, C. Lucas, A. Hoare, J. C. Tayler, T. Wells, J. Croft, M. Batchelor, A. Dyer, & c, whilst from a distance there was a fair representation of the county. It having been resolved that Mr Chamberlayne be invited to act as president of the club, the chairman proposed that Mr E. L. Ede be requested to act as secretary pro tern, and Col Tryon having seconded the motion, it was carried unanimously; and Mr Ede said he should be happy to comply with the wishes of the meet- ing. Mr T. Wells moved " That a committee be now appointed to prepare rules and regulations, and submit the same for approval at a general meeting to be held on the 12th of September, and that, in the meantime, they be requested to use every effort to ensure the success of the club." The resolution was carried unani- mously, and the following gentlemen were appointed a committee in accordance with it:— Col Bathurst, M. P.; Col Tryon, Messrs L. Ede, G. M. Ede, H. Frere, H. G. Green, and A. Dyer. In reply to Csl Tryon, the chairman said this committee would only act till the 12th of September, when it was proposed to appoint the committee for the management of the club. On the propo- sition of Col Tryon, a vote of thanks was awarded the chairman, and the proceedings terminated. GENTLEMEN OF KENT v GENTLEMEN OF SUSSEX This match was commenced on Thursday last, at the Bat and Ball Ground, Gravesend. The weather was fine on the early part of the first day, but the play was stopped by rain at six o'clock, with two wickets down for 11 runs, and Mr Ray ( not out) 1, and A. C. Wathen ( not out) 2. The game was resumed on Friday, and concluded with the second innings of the Sussex, leaving Kent 169 to win, which, on Saturday, was obtained by the loss © f five wickets.

ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN v TWENTY- TWO OF SCARBOROUGH. This match took place in the Castle Grounds on Monday, Aug 24, and two following days. The wickets were good, but the formation of the fielding ground is very awkward. The Eleven's first innings amounted to but 59 runs, whilst the Twenty- two reached 132, Mr A. Walker playing a very good innings of 22. Darnton never played a better; he was run out from long leg by Clarke. Mr J. F. Leese hit very freely for his 20 The second in- nings of England amounted to 149 runs, owing to the excellent innings of Tarrant and the judicious play of Hayward, who scored 49 runs. Rowbotham's 29 was well made. The Scar- borough players had but 76 runs to make to win ; but such was the fine bowiing of Willsher and Jackson, the long- stopping of Tarrant, and the fielding generally that they lost by 10 runs.

NEWCASTLE- ON- TYNE REGATTA- This affair took place on Friday, and was about the most un- satisfactory display ever witnessed, even on the coaly Tyne. The Champion Scullers Cup, which it was expected would have been the scullers race of the year, was an utter failure. Australian Green did not row ; why we have not ascertained, but we suspect he had sound reasons for it, consequently Chambers walked over for the first heat, as did R. Cooper for the third heat, and for the second heat Harry Kelly defeated with ease Teasdale Wilson of Newcastle. In the final heat R. Cooper came in first, but a foul is claimed on behalf of Kelly, with what result we have not heard. The four- oared race was won by the Tyne Amateur Rowing Club, and the pair- oared race was undecided, owing to a foul; for this race Harry Kelly and Green refused to row, doubtless for similar reasons to those which affected Green in the scullers contest. ( Per the Arabia, via Roche's Point, Aug 28, 9: 35 P. M.) NEW YOBK, AUG 18. Peremptory orders have been issued from Washington directing the draught to be resumed in New York and Brooklyn to- morrow. The quotas of the Democratic district, the excess of which was complained of in Governor Seymour's correspondence with the President,, have been reduced from the aggregate of 26 299 to 12,300. General Dix, the Federal commander in this department, has addressed the citizens in defence of the conscription as an equit- able and constitutional liw, and pathetically exhorted the people to submit peaceably to its execution. In conclusion he warns them that ample preparation has been made for the preservation of the peace. The Militia in this city have been ordered under arms until further notice, and will be on duty during the night. 1 here are 20,000 Federal troops stationed in and around the city. Major Opdyke has refused to sign the three millions exemption- fee ordinance passed by the Common Council and Board of Alder- men ; but as his objection relates to a point of form, and not to the spirit or purpose of the measure, it is thought he will ulti- mately be prevailed upon to sign. The Baltimore correspondent of the Htrald, writing on the 13th, states that General Lee has received reinforcements to the number of 30,000 veteran troops, and that he is also receiving conscripts by which his army will be increased to 150,000 men. The main body of this army is massed on the Rapidan river, with Ger - nl Lee's head quarters at Gordonsville. The same writer that General Meade earnestly desires to change his base of opera-> - tions to the peninsula, but that the Government will not consent. A reconnaisance in force was made by the Confederates upon the Federal left, on the 17th, the particulars of which have not yet transpired. According to accounts from Fortress Monroe, and despatches published in the Chattanoga licbel of the 16th, the bombardment of Fort Sumter was commenced on Saturday, and continued on Sunday. The Eebel describes the bombardment as being awful. As yet the results are unknown. The Ministerial journals of this city advise their readers to moderate their impatience, and not to expect decisive events at Charleston for three weeks or a longer period. It is reported from Newbern, North Carolina, that within a few days 17 large steamers had run the blockade at Wilmington, in that State, laden with 96,000 rifles, 160,000 army blankets, 131,000 uniforms, 23,000 cases of shoes, 11 locomotives, 6 rifled cannon, and five cargoes of railroad iron. On the occasion of General Johnstone's recent visit to Mobile he declared it to be the most defensible seaport in the Confede- rate States. The Executive Committee of the National Democracy, of which Mr Belmont is chairman, at a meeting held at Newport, Rhode Island, on the loth, resolved to call a meeting of the National Democracy Committee, to convene at New York on the 7th proximo. ( Fid Halifax and Roche's Point.) NEW YOEK, AUG 20, 5 P. M. The draught was executed in the Ninth Ward of this city yes- terday without opposition. A proclamation from Governor Sey- mour, published in the morning, enjoined upon the citizens to submit quietly to the action of the law until it should be pro- nounced void by the courts or repealed by Congress. He de- clared that disregard for the sacredness of the Constitution, for the majesty of the law, and the decisions of the judiciary was at this time the greatest danger to American liberty ; that the Con- stitution provided for the punishment of offenders, whether in public or private life ; that the right of the people to appeal to the courts should be maintained ; that the decisions of the judges must be respected and obeyed by rulers and people alike ; and admonished the judicial and executive officers to enforce the law and preserve the public order in the manner pointed out by the statutes of the state of New York. To- day the draughting has been proceeded with quietly in the Fifteenth Ward. The bombardment of Forts Wagner and Sumpter continued on the 16th, but the previous accounts of the severity of the Federal fire appear to have been exaggerated. General Gilmore.[ under date of the 8th, has forwarded letters to the different journals of this city requesting them to rafrain from the publication of military intelligence in his department. He states that his operations have already suffered severely from that cause. A meeting assembled at Rochester, in this State, yesterday, for the organisation of a Conservative party for the Presidential cam- paign of 1864. The resolutions adopted denounced Abolitionism, Nativism, and Secession, and advocated a convention of all the States for the nomination of a President and Vice- President, and a vigorous prosecution of the war until the seceded States should return to the Union. CITY INTELLIGENCE. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS- As usual during the holiday season, the attendance in monetary and commercial circles is very much reduced; and amidst the prevailing quietude consequently perceived, there are few inci- dents of importance to record in connection with the ordinary progress of business. Owing to the settlement of accounts at the Stock Exchange, and other discount requirements at the end of the month, the Money Market has assumed a firmer ap- pearance ; and although there is a prospect of an easier state of affairs in the course of a few weeks, four per cent is now the general quotation for the negotiation of first- class three months' bills. Gold is accumulating at the Bank, and a further important increase is expected owing to the mo- derate demands for exportation. Trade continues good, and the Government statistics just issued for the seven months to the 31st July reveal some exceedingly favourable features. At the Stock Exchange the foreign market, where considerable activity and buoyancy have been experienced with regard to Turkish, Spanish, Greek, and Portuguese securities, has alone attracted, attention. Consols, however, have slightly advanced, the latest prices yesteiday ( Friday) afternoon being 93 § 5 for money, and 93j | for the account. During the past week business in the Foreign Stock Market continued active, and a firmer tone generally prevailed. The Con- federate Loan has advanced about 5 per cent, Greek Bonds have improved 1, and the Coupons 1 per cent. Spanish Passive Bonds have risen about J, while Mexican Stock has advanced 1 to I5. Turkish Bonds have generally shown increased buoyancy. The Old Six per Cents rose 1, the Loan of 1858 f, the Loan of 1862 1 to If, and the Consolides 1 per cent. SATURDAY EVENING. To- day the Funds have not varied to any important extent Consols for money closed at 93 § 5, and for the account 93 § J. In the Foreign Market the Confederate Loan experienced a further improvement of 1 per cent, closing at 27 25 discount; Greek Bonds advanced J, viz, to 35f 36 ; and the Coupons rose 5, to 17j. Turkish Bonds were firm ; the Loan of 1854 left off at 93 ta 94, the Loan of 1862 at 691 70f, while the Consolides declined | to 52 1 Railway shares in some in some instances were rather flatter, owing to a preponderance of speculative sales. Bank and Miscellaneous shares generally were in fair request a slightly enhanced prices. In American securities there was a large business negotiated, and Erie shares advanced about 6 per cent, closing at 82 to 83 Illinois Central shares, worth 90 dollars, have improved to 9J 8| discount. \ f ETCALFE, BINGLEY, and Co's new pat- JLT_ I_ tern and penetrating TOOTH BRUSHES, penetrating un- bleached hair brushes.
