Charles Oakley again victorious at Wirwick, winning tne Leamington Stakes, the only race he advised upon for this meeting ( or week's events), with his especial choice Magnum Bonmn. He trusts all his subscribers backed his selection freely, and won handsomely. With respect to the great Doncaster event, which is now approaching with giant strides ( run next Wednesday, September 16), THE ST LEGER, C. Oakley is determined his friends shall win a large stake on this important and exciting race, truly an event on which his success year after year has been astonishing aud unrivalled. He begs to srate there is not the slightest change in his opinion, 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 without a moment's notice. His champion for this great race is doing splendid work, going as Btrong 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) suc- cessful and accomplished horsemen of the day. All connected with the stable are on to a man, and fear nothing in the race. Let all, then, invest freely, and fear not. C. Oakley's success year after year, in predicting the winners of the various important events is now so well known throughout the length aud breadth of the land, through the medium of this valuable journal, that it requires no idle puff on his part. Thousands can and would testify to the value of C. Oakley's advice. For sound, successful, aud genuine information, apply then to C. Oakley. His terms are : To end of the season, 10s 6o ; any single event, 13 stamps. Address C. Oakley, 52, Red Lion- street, Holborn, London, W. C c. OAKLEY'S UNRIVALLED ADVICE, CESAREWITCH and CAMBRIDGESHIRE. Charles Oakley's unrivalled advice for the above important handicaps is now ready. C. O. has a couple of regular clippers for these races wonderfully well in. For the Cesarewitch especially, two very first- rate things indeed, at a capital price for investment. Remember C. Oakley's constant success on this race, and his triumphant victory last year with his especial choice, Harrington, positively sent his subscribers at 66 to 1 as soon as the weights appeared. C. Oakley, it is well known, stuck to Hartington through evil and good report, with undiminished confidence, up to the last moment. His subscribers and friends realised capital stakes. It was truly a glorious win for C. Oakley. Address, C. Oakley, 52, Red Lion- street, Holborn, London, W.

Topper Brown— Not for the Cham- pionship. else but a meeting of thieves and savages. It is the objectors themselves who force on such an assemblage the evil character which they assign to it, and assume to be inherent in it. They make it lawless, they refuse to it the presence and control of any representative of the law, they offer a pre- mium to irregularity and disorder, they suggest to all the badly disposed that t. here are occasions when there will be no legal check on their ill conduct, and having done all this, they express themselves scandalised at. the fact that the attendants at a prize tiyht are not kept in such order as would be an assem- blage of ladies and gentlemen going to hear a favourite actor or singer. Their astonishment ought to be the other way. Seeing how much they are encouraged to be lawless, the wonder is that they are so orderly. When they have of- fered to them every temptation to misconduct, by the as- surance that it may be committed with impunity, the' blame of its occurrence is with those who produce such a state of things, and the praise, if misconduct does not occur, is altogether due to the men who, knowing themselves to be free from legal supervi- sion and control, act as if they were strictly under their influence. We8hall not at this momeiit repeat the arcuments ( incapable of contradiction) in favour of the moral teaching affoided by the well enforced rules of the Prize King against the indulgence of any cruelty, or even of any unfairness, in the heat of the contest itself; but it is impossible to avoid remembering that many of those who are persecutors of boxing, on the asserted ground of its danger to limb or life, have not been known as equally opposed to that rope dancing at immense heights from the ground which has recently furnished so many instances of its needless and fatal dangers. — INTOLERANCE. Is intolerance inherent in human nature? We fear that the question must be answered in the affirmative. Education alone by showing what Christian principles truly are, seems capable correcting this instinctive evil. But that education must be phi. losophical, not sectarian, in order to produce so good a result. For otherwise the intolerance will either be praised or be passed over without censure. The Glasgow Herald of last week affords an illustration of these remarks. It describts as " an unseemly affair'' a very disgraceful proceeding which took place " on the Newton shore of Ayr." It seems that some persons in that neigh- bourhood have become Baptists, and, according to the persuasion of that sect, have been baptised. The vulgar and intolerant mem- bers of another sect ( also calling themselves Christians, though utterly regardless of Christian charity) mobbed the newly- bap- tised persons, subjecting them " to a perfect shower of sand and gravel," so that, though all the converts had not received the lite of immersion ( which these Baptists honestly and sin- cerely believe to be required by the Saviour's words and example), " the ordeal which they saw awaited them" made them deem it " prudent not to trifle with the animosity oi the crowd farther." This is the disgraceful occurrence which the Glasgow Herald, relates, and this is the half eix: ouragirig language in which chat paper relates it. Has the Glasgow Herald no maniy terms of censure— bitter, stinging cen- sure— to cast upon the un- Christian bigots who thus insult and outrage the creed they profess to believe, a creed which teaches charity and good- will to all men, but teaches it in vain to them, for they not merely neglect, but despise and contradict it. It is much to be feared that in Scotland the Papal doctrine of absolute submission to one creed is favoured and cherished, and that the bigotry of the Scotch Kirk differs only in form and not in essence from that of the Vatican.

To the Levant Herald we are indebted for a statement of no slight interest in a moral and political point of view. There are certain journals in this country, and we especially name the Daily News as one, which have been betrayed by some unaccountable misfortune into being made the tools of as unscrupulous a set of political knaves as ever practised on human ignorance and credu- lity. These journals are always talking of the oppressions practised by the Turkish Government on the Christians under its control, and affect to speak of the Christian feudatories of the Porte as of honest men and good patriots There is as much truth in one branch of the representation as in the other— that is, there is no truth in either. Let us take the Hospodar of Moldo- Wallachia, Prince Couza, as the instance for our present remarks. While Western Europe is deeply interested in the American civil war, the dearth of cotton, the condition of Italy, and last of all the revolution in Polaud, this patriotic prince avails himself of the opportunity to seize, for his own use, the revenues of the Greek monasteries. The revenues had been safe under the Turks— their safety is at an end now. The monks are Christians; so is he— at least he calls himself so. Had he been a Turkish governor of the Principalities, and had he been guilty of one tithe of the injustice and robbery which he has now inflicted on the Greek monasteries, the journals of France and the proclamations of the French Emperor would have demanded an immediate and energetic intervention. Arms would, in all probability, have been used first, and explanations entered on afterwards. The practice is reversed here. Explana- tions are asked for, but never enforced. Wholesale spoliation is permitted to the Christian prince, and when the poor despoiled fraternities seek for justice, he is allowed under any pretence, or without any pretence whatever, to enjoy the fruits of his robbe- ries, to delay restitution, and even to evade inquiry. The Levant herald sets forth with exact particularity the occurrences, shows how the prince has fraudulently shirked even the appoint- ment of arbitrators ( required from him by the Western Powers), and, impunity appearing to render him utterly reckless, has, to his other acts of spoliation of rents, " as late as June last, added the seizure of all the monastic plate and other valuables, having only the actual altar vessels, and placing even those under the surveil- lance of his municipal police," Considering that the wealth thus seized upon has been the free gift to the monasteries of very pious persons in past ages, from the 16th century to the present time, this was a pretty strung measure. To Englishmen in general it will be unintelligible; but when they know that the object is to get money for the Government, to give it the means of assailing the Porte, in which scheme it is backed by Bussia, for Russia's advantage, the matter becomes intelligible enough. The Prince and the Czar represent one class of Christian believers, and it is to their interest and therefore to their taste to persecute all others. And yet they have the assurance to call themselves Christians, and to look for the sympathies of England and France. PRIZE FIGHTING UNDER DIFFICULTIES. The SaUirday Review has had an article under this title, in which the writer gives what appears to be an account of his ex- perience of the annoyances that may be inflicted on " a gentleman who desires to see a prize- fight.'' The account is graphic enough, and well deserves recital, but the article only touches one part of the folly and mischievousness of the present system. The law says ( so, at least, those who administer it have declared) that boxing, however occasioned and however conducted, is " a breach of the public peace." It is odd that this should be so, when no such declaration is made as to wrestling, nor, so far as we re- member, as to single stick. But at all events it has been made a to boxing, and on this small foundation rest all the movements of police, the vehement activity of certain justices, and the skilful strategy that is employed to defeat both. As there is nothing intrinsically immoral in a prize fight, the accompaniments of it are the things that give it the objectionable character often attributed to it. We have no hesitation in asserting that these objectionable incidents are the direct and necessary results of the present state of the law. The love of manly exercise and of manly contests— of those contests, too, which cannot be indulged in without danger — is one of the things which may be looked for in all but worn- out and effeminate communities. The taste for them is one which cannot be extinguished, which has in itself nothing irrational, and which is intimately connected with many matters that well deserve the favour and approval of a nation. Let the indulgence in such tastes be governed and regulated, and the nation will be benefited ; let its suppression be roughly and rudely attempted, and nothing but mischief will ensue. Take care that in such contests there shall be no needless danger to the combatants— that fairness, humanity, and an honorable con- sideration for the two competitors shall be observed— and the boxing ring would be no more objectionable than foot racing, leaping, putting, hammer thrawing, wrestling, or some other of those " games" which anti- pugilistic justices look on with com- placency, which royalty itself delights to witness, and which are often attended with more serious injuries to the exhibitors than is a well- contested prize fight. In fact, it is not the fight itself that is so objectionable, for the men suffer less permanent injury than often results from a boat race. It is the vain attempt entirely to suppress the practice which occasions the mischiefs so plaintively set forth by those who talk of an " invasion of roughs and rascals," and who can see in the assemblage of prize fight spectators little NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE THE CHANNEL FLEET.— This fleet was to have left Greenock on Monday, but owing to a heavy gale from the westward, the sailing was postponed till Tuesday. It blew very hard at times, with heavy falls of rain, so much so that several of the ships lying at the Tail of the Bank drifted from their moorings for a considerable distance, and amongst others the Trinculo, tender to the admiral's flagship Edgar. She was. however, brought up when alongside the Goldfinch gunboat, Several small boats, with uassengers more enthusiastic than cautious, attempted to cross from Albert Quay to the ships of the fleet. In one or two in- stances, during a temporary lull, they accomplished the passage, but more generally they had to return ashore when about mid- way. It was, indeed, a work of much difficulty even for the ships" pinnaces to come across, and it was only ou the most urgent cases that these came ashore. The Provost on Monday received a notice from Admiral Dacres, intimating that in consequence of the storm the fleet would not leave till Tuesday at two p. m., and that visitors in small boats would be allowed alongside till the hour of starting. It is somewhat remarkable that out of the whole crews of 5,800 men only one was brought before the police- court for an offence against the police regulations. The Black Prince's crew has been the most unfortunate, having since her arrival lost two men by death, one an assistant engineer, named Fraser, belonging to Glasgow, having committed suicide by hanging himself in his cabin; he, about ten hours previous to the rash act, having been suspended from duty on a charge of the theft of a pillow from the engineers' berth ; the other was a young man named Somerville, belonging to Poole, who, shortly after going on board on Sunday night, dropped down dead on deck. Both were on Monday interred in the Greenock Cemetery. The only other death was that of a stoker, named Scockbridge, belonging to Her Majesty's ship Defence. The fleet has since anchored in Belfast Loch. DEATH OF EARL BEAUCHAMP.— We have to record the death of General the Earl Beauchamp, Colonel of the 2d Life Guards, which took place at Maresfield Court, Worcester, en Tuesday, at the age of 79. The late earl was a general in the army, Colonel of the 2d Life Guards, and Gold Stick in Waiting to the Queen. He leaves two sons and a daughter— viz, Viscount Elmley, the Hon F. Lygon, M. P. for Tewkesbury, and Lady Bagian. He is succeeded in his title and estates by his eldest son. Viscount Elm- ley, M. P. for West Worcestershire, and a vacancy therefore occurs in the representation of that county by the elevation of Lord Elm- ley to the Upper House. He entered the army in 1803; served in the Peninsula with the 16th Dragoons in 1809 and 1810, and again from February, 1814, to the end of the war, including the capture of Oporto, the battle of Talavera, and passage of the Coa; was severely wounded in Massena's advance to the battle of Busaco; appointed colonel of the 10th Hussars in 1843, and a general in 1854. RIFLED ARTILLERY.— Experimental practice is daily carried on by the Royal Artillery with the rifled guns erected on the sea de- fences commanding the approaches to Chatham Harbour with the 70- pounder and 40- pounder Armstrong guns, in order to test the comparative efficiency of the side- loading principle. The results hitherto obtained have been very satisfactory as regards the in- creased rapidity with which the loading and firing can be carried on. The practice is made under the personal superintendence of Colonel Nedham, commanding the Royal Artillery in the Chat- ham district, assisted by Lieut- Colonel Talbot, commanding the First, Division of the Depot Brigade. CHATHAM HOSPITAL.— The large general hospital just erected at Chatham, which is on the eve of being opened, will have a commodious ward attached for the reception of female patients suffering from Lock diseases, the expenses connected with which department of the establishment will be almost entirely defrayed by the Government. A considerable portion of the funds for the erection of the hospital has been contributed by the Admiralty and the War Department, the Government at the same time mak- ing an annual grant to the hospital, on the express condition that one portion of the hospital shall be devoted exclusively to Lock cases. This is the first step taken by the Government to establish Lock hospitals in our large garrison and seaport towns. RETURN OF HER MAJESTY.— On Thursday morning, at eleven o'clock, Her Maje^ y, H. R. H. Prince Alfred, and the younger branches of the royal family, who had left Rosenau on Monday, landed at the Arsenal Pier at Woolwich. No orders had been issued relative to the admission of the general public beyond those of ordinary days; consequently a number of privileged persons, including the wives and families of those employed in the esta- blishment, had collected and stationed themselves in the most con- venient positions to be enabled to witness the landing, many of whom were assembled on either side of the platform, in imme- diate proximity to the " brow," over which Her Majesty and the royal family would pass on leaving the ship. The artificers and labourers throughout the establishment, who had been permitted to leave the departments, had congregated in thousands along the line of thoroughfare, and behaved in the most orderly maimer, fully satisfied with the hope of catching a passing glimpse of the Queen's countenance at the carriage window. The Queen was driven at once to the Nine Elms station, whence. she proceeded to Windsor Castle, which she reached shortly after one o'clock. It is believed Her Majesty will leave for Balmoral on Monday evening. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES AT ABERGELDIE.— During the past week his royal highness the prince killed five beautiful stags, while her royal highness the princess had her accustomed drives, fishing on the Dee, and sketching in the neigh- bourhood. On Friday the royal party and suite drove by Ballater to Burn of Vat, commonly called Rob Roy's Cave. A few of the domestic servants about Abergeldie being sent away previous with provisions, a tire was lighted, potatoes and other vegetables cooked, and an excellent luncheon was partaken of by the royal party beside the cavern. Afterwards her royal highness was busily employed sketching Loch Kinnord, Loch Davori, and adjoining scenery. They returned through Ballater in the afternoon, where a number of the visitors turned out to get a look at the royal couple when changing horses.— Banffshire Journal. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.— On Thursday Lord Londesborough was married, at St George's, Hanover- square, to Lady Edith Somerset, youngest daughter of the late Duke and sister of the present Duke of Beaufort. NARROW ESCAPE OF TWO LADIES FROM DROWNING.— On Thursday week Mrs Laing, of Hawick, and her daughter, a young lady of about eighteen, while bathing at Prestonpans, where they have been residing for some time, had a very narrow escape from drowning. They had gone out with their servant to bathe to- gether at the rocks opposite Mr Alexander's Bait- pans, and were apparently enjoying themselves in the water, holding each other's hands and ducking up and down, when they all at once discovered they were getting beyond depth, and, by the receding tide, were losing their ground. The servant, who was seated on the rocks, almost at the same moment with the bathers discovered their critical position, and immediately gave the alarm. No help, however, was at hand, and the unfortunate ladies, clasped in each other's arms, or struggling to reach the rocks, seemed likely to fall an immediate prey to the waters, when the cries of the fisher- women and young lads on the shore arrested the attention of Mr Richard Johnston, clerk in the employment of Mr Mellis, of the soap works, Prestonpans. This gentleman with great intrepidity rushed to the spot, jumped into the water, and succeeding in seizing both ladies, brought them to the shore, greatly exhausted by their efforts, though happily able in a short time to reach their lodgings. Mr Johnston's conduct was at once skilful and courageous. GALLANT RESCUE OF Two YOUNG LADIES.— An incident well worthy of record occurred at Penzance on Tuesday, Sept 8. Miss Quick'and Miss Cock, two young ladies, were bathing opposite the Western Esplanade, about half- past ten o'clock, when persons walking near were alarmed by screams for help proceeding from the hapless bathers, who, it was seen, were being rapidly carried out to sea. Mr Drew, a tradesman living near, seeing people run- ning towards the beach, left his shop, and on arrival at the water's edge saw that the young ladies were in the utmost danger, being already forty feet" away from the shore. Instantly he plunged into the water, and struck out for the now sinking bathers. Robt. Stevens, a keeper of the bathing machines, followed Mr Drew example, he also having his clothes on, and an exciting sce^ ov curred. Stevens reached one of the young ladies, and stretche © uthis hand to grasp her, but missing his aim, became frightened, and returned on shore. Drew meanwhile had reached the youngest lady furthest out, Miss Cock, and was bringing her in, when he saw that Stevens had gone ashore, and that Miss Quick had sunk several times, and would almost immediately be drowned. Leav- ing his first charge for a time, Drew reached Miss Quick, and swam ashore with her, when she was received by those on the beach, and carried off to the baths. Without an instant's delay, Drew, exhausted as he was with previous exertion, pushed out again and caught Miss Cock, who clasped him round the neck, and they both disappeared. A shudder ran through the specta- tors, who whispered one to the other, " Poor things ! they are both gone." Soon, however, they rose again, and with a final effort Drew towed his charge to the beach. The young ladies, the first rescued of whom was quite insensible, were at once carefully tended, and a warm bath, brandy, and tea being administered, they revived, and are now nearly recovered. The gallant fellow who had thus saved two lives refused the warm bath that was proffered to him; but one of his bands was quite dead for two hours afterwards, and he did not wholly get over the effects of his exertions that day. DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE.— The August report of the executive of the Central Relief Committee is more satisfactory than we had imagined it would be. A study of some of the recent returns of Mr Farnall led us to expect anything but an improvement in the state of affairs in the cotton districts. We find, however, that during the last month ten local committees were enabled to sus- pend operations. There was also a decrease in pauperism, amounting to 7,124, and a diminution of 8,577 in the number of persons relieved by local committees. Thus far, then, the im- provement which commenced at the close of 1862 has progressed without interruption ; and if we could look forward to its steady continuance, the commencement of 1864 would be marked by the disappearance of the distress that now exists in the north; but un- fortunately we must not indulge in this hope. There is but too much reason for fearing that the tide wiil soon again turn, for although the Central Committee are of opinion that the present month will not witness any increase of poverty in Lancashire, it is evident that the coming winter is looked forward to with con- siderable anxiety. 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, SEPTEMBER 20, 1863. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. There have been rumours this week of an alliance between Louis Napoleon, Frederick William, and the Czar. These rumours prove that real political labour is inactive, and so the French Stock Exchange and the French newspaper offices must be ex- cited by something, and for them the most absurd stories are the best. Highly- spiced folly is always stimulating. In default of actual intelligence the French journals are filled with argumenta- tions as to what are the thoughts and intentions of the Czar. That despotism- loving journal La France asserts his magnanimity, sense, generosity, and humanity. The Siecle and the Debats, with much more truth, deny him the possession of these qualities, and assert that it is not the so- called « ' Old Russian Party," but him- self, that is opposed to all schemes to alleviate the sufferings of the Poles, or to do justice to them, or to fulfil the engagements of Russia towards Europe. By his will the monster Mouravieff is kept in office, and all the worst features of the Russian rule are preserved. DENMARK AND SWEDEN. There seems to be little doubt of some diplomatic arrangement between Denmark and Sweden. If its nature is correctly stated it will prove a formidable check to the tyranny and injustice of the German Diet towards the former state. AMERICA. The drafting in New York appears to be continued quietly. If successful in all the Federal states it will give an army quite capa- ble of overmatching the Southerns. A fit general will only be • wanted. There is no further rumour of General Meade resigning the command. What is intended is still matter of rumour only. But among the rumours is one that the Northern Government is , now so strong that it will send assistance to the Mexicans. There is certainly a political flirtation going on between France and tf ' Mexico, and the Monroe doctrine must be enforced or abandoned, - tf Fort Sumter ( where the first blood was spilt in the civil war) is again in possession of the Federals. Charleston, too, is theirs. SUNDAY HAYMAKING.— An extraordinary scene was witnessed in Leigh on Friday. Sept 4, and created much excitement and in- dignation, owing to the enforcement by distraint of the fines in- flicted on a number of farmers and others for saving a quantity of hay from an impending storm on a Sunday. Orton, the police informer, accompanied by a large body of policemen collected from the adjacent districts, proceeded to execute five warrants of distress on the goods and chattels of the recusants. The parties selected for punishment are all small farmers, who not only characterise the prosecutions as invidious and uncalled for, but are advised on good legal authority that the convictions are illegal. The convictions are invidious because at the very same sessions the very same magistrates had before them six labourers for getting coal out of the canal on the Sunday, but dismissed the charge on the ground that the work was one of necessity. We believe that the defendants are advised that the convictions are bad, and the whole of these proceedings are illegal, among other reasons, because the section setting forth who shall not work on Sundays does not include farmers in its category, and the act specially excludes works of necessity and charity. None of the persons who assisted in getting in the hay as neighbours, and who were convicted for " aiding and abetting,'' have been levied upon. The warrants are issued on the goods and chattels of Messrs. Peter Cleworth, John Cle worth, Joseph Cleworth, Robert Howarth, and Joseph Battersby, and are signed by Mr Richard Guest. Detachments of officers were sent to the residences of the five defendants to " take possession,'' and Mr. Super- intendent Orton and some of the officers proceeded on their levying mission. Their first visit was to Messrs Cleworths farm, near the Leigh Vicarage. Mr Orton stated that his demand was £ 2 6s, being 23s each for penalty and costs, against Messrs Peter and John Cleworth. A valuable cow was taken possession of by the police and driven away. The police then proceeded with the bailiff's cart to Mr Joseph Cleworth's, in Bradshawgate, where they obtained a sofa for their booty. After safely lodging this spoil in the Town Hall they pro- ceeded to the residence of Joseph Battersby, in Back lane, Wes t leigh, and formally demanded £ 1 3s. The house and premises bore evident signs of most abject poverty, and Battersby's wife promptly informed the officers that they had much more need to bring them something than take anything from them. She added, " If I had been the gentleman that sent you I would have lost it out of iny own pocket before I would have distressed such as us. My husband is as sober and hard- working a man as any in the parish, and he was only trying to save our bit of hay, and get us a bit of bread, for we are badly enough off. We have not a blanket on our beds, neit her under nor over, and it is hard if we must be distressed when we have done nothing wrong." Mr Superinten- dent Orton withdrew his men, informing Mrs Battersby that they would not remove anything. The police then proceeded to Mr Robert Howarth's house, near Westleigh Mill. Mr Orton pro- duced the distress warrant for the £ 1 3s, but the defendant de- clined to pay. Mr Orton taid, " I seize this chest of drawers in the Queen's name." A handsome chest of drawers was then re- moved by the police. Although a considerable number of people were present at each seizure, the utmost order was preserved by all. A subscription has been vigorously commenced for the pur- pose of assisting the defendants in testing the validity of the convictions. We sincerely trust we shall shortly have to announce the removal from the bench of magistrates of the Zanies who have perverted the law in this case, and also the recovery of heavy damages by the sufferers from the superintendent for making ex- cessive levies. ROBBERIES BY A FBENCII MEBCHANT.— At Middlesex Sessions, on Monday, Henry Courderot, aged 33, a Frenchman, was tried for stealing feathers, & o, value £ 60, the property of W. Alphonse, — Mr Sleigh said ihe prosecutor in this case was a Mr William Alphonee, who is an ostrich feather manufacturer and importer of millinery, carrying on his business at No. 39, Charterhouse- square, London, and also at Manchester. In the beginning of Beptember, 1861, the prisoner was recommended to him by a Madame Louise Flamant, a lodging- house keeper, residing at No. 19, Woodstock- street, Oxford- street, with whom the prisoner and his wife were lodging. The prosecutor engaged the prisoner to teach the prosecutor's nephew book- keeping, and also to act as a traveller, at a salary ef £ 1 per week and 5 per cent commission on all the^ oods sold. It was his duty to take out goods and get customers, and give the prosecutor each day an account of what he sold, and to whom, but not to receive any money. The pri- soner commenced his duties in the beginning of September, 1861, and went on with his work ( taking out goods, selling them, and reporting what he had done either to the prosecutor or his nephew) until the 18th of the same month, when he returned home and told the prosecutor's nephew that be had sold some fancy goods to a party who had paid him for them, but whose name lie did not know, and that he had better enter them in the book to him ( the prisoner) to make the books straight. The nephew consented to this, and the prisoner handed te him the money. This story was, doubtless, told by the prisoner to the nephew on several occasions, and the goods were entered to the prisoner, and the money handed by him to the prosecutor's ne- phew. In December, 1881, the prosecutor, in the presence of his nephew and partner, gave the prisoner between £ 40 and £ 50 worth of ostrich feathers, £ 20 worth of millinery goods, and £ 2 or £ 3 worth of other goods to sell and account to him, but not to receive any money. Afterwards, the prose- cutor having some suspicion of the prisoner's honesty, went to Messrs Hann and Clayton, milliners, of No. 3, Padding- ton- green, to whom the prisoner had said he supplied some of the goods, and asked them if he had sold them any goods, when he was informed that some goods had been purchased and paid for, and they showed him the receipts for the payments to the pri- soner. The prosecutor went to the prisoner's lodgings and left word for him to go to prosecutor's house and take all the goods he had with him. As he did not attend he went te his lodgings a second time, when he was informed that the prisoner and his wife had gone off in the night, taking with them everything, and no one knew where they were gone to. Nothing was heard of the prisoner until little more than a month ago, when the prosecutor, who was on business in France, was informed that the prii- oner was in Manchester, carrying on business there, and a letter was shown to him which the prisoner had written, asking to be sup- plied with some goods. Upon gaining this information the pro- secutor w ent to Manchester, charging him with robbery, and him- self taking him to the station house. The prisoner begged to be let go, and said, " I am getting an honest man now, and if you come home with me I will give you all in the place ;" but when the prisoner found that the prosecutor would not let him go he began to swear, and tried to strike the prosecutor with a stick he had with him. The prisoner was brought to London and charged with the robbery.— The defence set up by Mr Metcalfe was that there was no proof of any fraud, that the prosecutor's books had been badly kept, and the prosecution was in fact got up to damage the prisoner's character, and to get rid of him as a rival in business. The jury, however, found him guilty, and Mr Sleigh then proved that the prisoner had been twice convicted for swindling and em- bezzlement in France.— Mr Sergeant Gazelee said it was mon- strous that counsel should be instructed to make such imputations as had been made in this case, for if it were to go on it would be much better that they should be without counsel altogether. He had no right to make the insinuations he had agains- t the prose- cutor, and when an opportunity was offered he thought he ought to mark his sense of it. He then sentenced the prisoner to ten years' penal servitude. ASSAULT ON THE POLICE.— A* t Middlesex Sessions, on Tues- day, John Sullivan, labourer, was charged with assaulting Wm. Wilcox, a constable of the Metropolitan Police force, in the execu- tion of his duty.— The prosecutor stated that on the night of the 31st of August last, about half- past six o'clock, he saw two men fighting in the Lower- road, Islington. He took them into cus- tody, and no sooner had done so than the prisoner ran at him, knocking him reeling into the road. Witness got up again, when he seized him by the back of the head, and pulled him down a court. He went down on his knees, and was dragged along. He then drew his truncheon to release his hands, when the prisoner took his truncheon from him, and hit witness twice with it on the back of the neck and knocked him down. While he was down the prisoner kicked him in the side, and then the mob kept wit- ness down while the prisoner made his escape. The prisoner was apprehended by another constable. The witness was bruised in four or five places, and bad great difficulty in rising when he sat down. He could now scarcely move his neck. Sentence— Six months' hard labour. A SHAM COMMISSIONAIRE.— At Middlesex Sessions, on Tuesday, Sept 8, Edward Jones, a labourer, formerly in the corps of Com- missionaires, but who had been discharged, was convicted of ob- taining 4s 6d by false pretences from William Weatherall, to whom he represented himself as a commissionaire. He was sen- tenced to six months' hard labour. ALLEGED MUEBSB BY A POLICEMAN.— The town of Bary was on Tuesday evening, Sept 8, thrown into a state of intense excite- ment, owing to a charge of murder being preferred against a police- constable of that place, named Luke Charles. In February last the body of a woman was found in the Bulton Canal, in the neighbourhood of Pendleton. Early one morning some woman's clothes were seen lying on the bank of the canal, and this induced a search with grapnels, which resulted in the body of a woman being brought up. The body did not appear to have been in the water many hours. On an examination being made there was a bruise found on one arm, but it did not excite any suspicion at the time, as it might have been caused by the body rolling on the gravel in the water. An inquest was held by Mr Rutter, and as there was not the slightest evidence forthcoming either as to the identification or the manner in which she got. into the water, an open verdict of Found Drowned was returned. The body was interred in the cemetery, and the clothes were taken to the workhouse. The prisoner left Bury in company with his wife on the evening preceding the day the body was found, for the purpose of visiting his wife's sister, who resided in Pendleton. He was in plain clothes at the time, left t- v? W, Bury about dusk, and returned the same night without his wife. I Since then numerous inquiries had been made of him about her, * and to some he said she had gone to Ireland, and to others that she had gone to other places. It is also alleged that he has, since his wife was first missing, formed relations with another woman. The wife's sister residing in Pendleton became very uneasy about her sister's absence, and hearing of the discovery of the body in the canal inspected her clothes, when she at once identified them as belonging to the prisoner's wife. The matter was then communicated to the Bury police, the prisoner was apprehended, taken before the police there on Tuesday, and remanded to Mon- day next. He now lies in the New Bailey. The superintendent of the Bury police came to Salford on Tuesday, for the purpose of obtaining the clothes of the deceased and getting up the evidence. It is not known yet whether the body will be exhumed or not, but we believe communication has been made with the Secretary of State, with a view to obtain the requisite authority for the ex- humation. — Ma nchester Examiner.

SUICIDE ON A RAILWAY.— On Tuesday an inquest was held at the Wandsworth Union Workhouse on the body of Daniel Lane, a bricklayer's labourer, who destroyed himself on the previous Saturday by throwing himself in front of a train on the Brighton and South Coast line at New Wandsworth. From the evidence there was no doubt the deceased was insane, and a verdict to that effect was returned. MUSIC AND DRAMA. OLYMPIC THEATEE.— Mr Tom Taylor's jew d> esprit, entitled " An Awful Rise in Spirits," produced at this theatre on Monday night, is not a very bright production, and but for the excellent elocution and capital acting of the performers engaged in it, would have undoubtedly been summarily disposed of. Professor Kepper ( Mr Atkins) and Mr Quirks ( Mr H. Wigan) are in a churchyard seeking effects, and all the departed ghosts of bygone days appear upon the scene, apparently to remonstrate at the great run upon ghosts just now going on at the various places of public entertainment in London. Amongst them are the Bleed- ing Nun, personified by Miss Hughes, who sings a long descrip- tive scena on her own history; the Corsican Brothers, one of which is played by Mr Vincent, who gives a good imitation of Mr Charles Kean; then there are the ghost of Hamlet's father, Richardson's ghost, the ghost of Mrs Veal, and others. Le Feu Follet is acted by Miss Raynham, who affords the audience an excellent idea of the style and manner of acting of Mdlle Stella Colas; whilst Mr Neville comes upon the stage as the Shade of Shakspere. To support this curious farrago Mr Tel bin has painted a new scene, and Mr Tully has contributed a medley overture. The last tableau is called a Congress of Spirits, and the audience did not seem altogether sorry when its sitting was over, for there was very little point and less humour in anything said or done in the course of this occasional sketch, the run ot which, we should opine, will be of shorter duration than the very clever illusory effects whose success is thus turned into vapid ridicule. ADELPHI THEATEE.— The popular and genial comedian, Mr Toole, took his benefit at this house on Wednesday night, and we are pleased to be able to say that he had a bumper. The " Tragedy Queen," in which Mrs Stirling appeared to great ad- vantage, led off the night's entertainments, being followed by the farce of " Your Life's in Danger," a farce in which Mr Toole represented the part originally sustained by Mr Keeley. The Byronic burlesque of " The Rosebud of Stingingnettle Farm," and " The Haunted Man" succeeded, and gave unqualified satisfaction to the large assembled audience, who gave Mr Toole such a wel- come on his first appearance before them as is only accorded to old established favourites. Mr Toole will, we believe, be absent from town for two months, during which he will visit some of the principal theatres in the provinces. SADLER'S WELLS THEATEE.— Miss Marriott, the clever actress who appeared at the Princess's Theatre while it was under the management of Mr Harris, has entered upon the direction of this pleasant little home of the Shaksperian drama, which she pur- poses to restore to the same happy state in whicn it was left when Mr Phelps vacated his long- held sceptre of dramatic eminence as manager. The present company is strong enough to enable the fair manageress to give her patrons an able representation of Mr Lovell's play of " Love's Sacrifice," Shakspere's tragedy of " Othello,'' and other sterling plays; Mr H, Marston, Mr Ed- mund Phelps, and Mr Haynes, a young and promising actor, being amongst the corps dramatigue. ALHAMBRA.— We must afford a word of praise to the manager of the entertainments here for giving the town as his latest novelty, in lieu of the morbid sensational feats of horror, a new and original violinist, Signor Nicosia. He is an Italian artiste of long practice and eminence on the Continent. A selection of the principal airs from " II Trovatore," the finale to " Lucia di Latnmermoor,'' a polka diabolique of his own composition, and the favourite variations on " The Carnaval de Venise" have been performed by him before most attentive audiences, who appear to appreciate the striking excellence of the new comer. WESTON'S MUSIC HALL.— The attractions at this, the oldest of the music halls, continue to be of the same varied description as when first they induced the loungers about town to patronise their spirited manager. The inimitable Mackney and Sam Cowell are still stars in the ascendant, whilst the vocal and instrumental music is still of the highest order. MB CHARLES MATHEWS.— This versatile actor and most ac- complished gentleman has invaded Paris in a most novel way, having made his first appearance on the French stage at the Va- riety on Monday night in a piece called " L'Anglais Timide,'' a translation of a farce called " The Bashful Man," written by Mr Mathews himself. Although a little nervous on first entering on his novel duties, Mr Mathews's success is described as being as complete as his warmest admirers could have wished it to be. PASSING EVENTS. THE SALMON FISHERIES IN CUMBERLAND.— The beneficial effects of the Salmon Fisheries Act and the exertions of the Car- lisle Angling Association to see its provisions enforced have again been manifested in the river Ederi in a marked degree during the past season. The Carlisle Journal says :—" The past season has been one of the best within living memory, both for the river fish- ing and the poke nets of the Solway— a fact which must be ex- tremely gratifying, not only to the lovers of the ' gentle art,' but to all who take an interest in the increase of the breed of fishas an article of food. The quantity of spring fish taken in the Eden was very large and regular, upon one occasion as many as 200 fine clean salmon being captured within 24 hours at Cargo and King Garth, and that at a period of the year when they were especially valuable. The grilse were scarce in the early part of i he season, but they became very abundant during the month of July and in the early part of August. The run of sea trout was considerably above the average, and would go far to make up for the loss sus- tained by the throwing off of the whiting nets. The price of sal- mon has been very moderate, especially during the latter part of the season ; and on one occasion the quantity of fish in the market was so great that sea trout were sold as low as 6d per lb— a price which reminds one of the fabulous days of abundance." The close season commences in Cumberland and Westmoreland under cir- cumstances which will tend to secure the safety of the breeding fish, for during the last few months the county constabulary have seized 1,500 nets and 79 poaching implements in the two counties, and the effects of these raids cannot fail to manifest themselves next year. PROBABLE EXHAUSTION OF COAL.— 8ir W. Armstrong having recently called attention to the probable exhaustion of coal in this country, a correspondent of The Times has forwarded for publica- tion the following remarks by the late Dr Buckland, fully corro- borating Sir William:—" As no more coal is in process of formation, and our national prosperity must inevitably terminate with the exhaustion of those precious stores of mineral fuel which form the foundation of our greatest manufacturing and commer- cial establishments, I feel it my duty to entreat the attention of the Legislature to two evil practices which are tending to accele- rate the period when the contents of our coal mines will have been consumed. The first of these is the wanton waste which for more than fifty years has been committed by the coalowners near Newcastle by screening and burning annually in never extin- guished fiery heaps at the pit's mouth more than 1,000,600 chal- drons of excellent small coal, being nearly one- third of the entire produce of the best coal mines in England. This criminal de- struction of the elements of our national industry, which is ac- celerating by one- third the not very distant period when these mines will be exhausted, is perpetrated by the colliers for the purpose of selling the remaining two- thirds at a greater profit than they would derive by the sale of the entire bulk unscreened to the coal merchant. The second evil is the exportation of coal to foreign countries, in some of which it is employed to work the machinery of rival manufactories, that in certain cases could scarcely be maintained without a supply of foreign coals.'' THE SCABBOROUGH DISASTER.— Mr L. G. J. Allen, of Trinity College, Cambridge, sacrificed his life last week in the noble act of trying to save the lifeot a friend, Mr Lord. They were bathing, and Mr Allen had neared t he shore, but hearing his friend crying to him for help, he struck out again and reached him. Mr Lord threw his arm on Mr Allen's shou'der, but suddenly fell on his back, floated out with the current, and was picked up by some Cambridge men, who happened to be near enough in a boat, and was saved. Poor Mr Allen became exhausted in returning ; a bathing man perceiving this generously jumped on his horse and swam towards him, throwing a trace at him, at which he grasped, but missing it, sank and was lost. The pall at his funeral was borne by six of his fellow students, and he was buried in a grave adjoining that of Lord Charles Beauclerk, who perished last year under circumstances somewhat similar. THE WOLVERHAMPTON AND DUDLEY MYSTEEIES— It may doubtless be remembered that on the 14th of August the body of a man named Cheenery was found in a small house which he oc- cupied in Bilston- street, Wolverhampton, with marks upon it which lett no doubt he was murdered. About the same time the body of a woman named Steadman was also found dead in a house in Tower- sti eet, Dudley, of which she took possession a fortnight previously. Both bodies at the time they were found were in a decomposed state. The woman was buried in her clothes as she was found, there being no evidence as to the cause of death, but upon the man an inquest was commenced, when the medical evidence left no doubt he had been murdered by blows from a hatchet found in his room, and the body then coated with tar to prevent the smell of decomposition being discovered. No evi- dence being obtainable as to the murderers, the inquest was ad- journed, and on Monday last, from suspicions which arose, the body of the woman at Dudley was exhumed and examined, when it was identified chiefly by the clothes, and also by a letter found in the pocket, written by Cheenery, to be that of a woman with whom he had cohabited. Nothing could be found to ac- count for her death but an empty bottle which had contained laudanum, but the body was so decomposed it was impossible to say whether she had taken poison. The supposition seems to be that the woman murdered Cheenery while asleep, and that she subsequently destroyed herself, but the evidence is very incom- plete, and the inquest has been again adjourned. FATAL ACCIDENT BY GAS EXPLOSION AT THE MALAGO VALE COLLIERY, NEAR BRISTOL.— An accident of a character which is very rare in the Bristol district has occurred at the Malago Vale Colliery, Bedminster, near that city, viz, by the ignition of fire- damp. One of the colliers, a man named Richard James, went into one of the stalls where some gas had accumulated, and the inflammable vapour being brought in contact with his light an explosion took place, by the effects of which he was sadly burnt. As soon as the accident was known immediate assistance was given to the poor fellow, and he was taken out and carried with all possible despatch to the Bristol General Hospital, Guinea- street, Bristol, where all that medical skill could do was done to relieve his sufferings. Unhappily the burns were of too severe a character, and the shock his nervous system had received too great, for human aid to be availing in his case, andlie died from the effects of his hurts. An inquest was commenced on the body on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 5, before J. B. Grindon, Esq, coroner, but it was adjourned to give time for communicating witii the Secretary of State, and to admit of the pit being examined by a Government inspector. CHARGE OF MURDEE AGAINST FRENCH SEAMEN.— At Sunder- land police court, on Thursday, Sept 3, Jean G- uiot, master; Le- fevre F. Joseph, Eugene Jean, Nicola Jean, G. M. Emile, and Joseph Gorio, the two last being boys, were charged with causing the death of Matthew Williamson, a fisherman, on Tuesday night, about seven miles off Seaham Harbour.— Mr Robson said it ap- peared that on the night of Tuesday, about half- past ten o'clock, Matthew Williamson and three other men, fishermen, belonging to Hartlepool, were fishing for herrings with a net, about six or seven miles off Seaham Harbour, the harbour being W. N. W. While they were thus busily employed they saw a ship bearing down upon them, which afterwards turned out to be the ship to which these men belonged. The fishermen did all they could to attract attention, by making the fire blaze, and blowing the fog- horn, though the weather was clear. The ship, however, came right down upon them, and caught the boat forward, and she was in some danger of going down. Under these circumstances, three of the crew jumped, and tried to get on board the French ship, feeling their lives to be in danger. The fourth man remained in the boat. Matthew Williamson was among those who jumped. As soon as they got into the chains the crew of the French ship endeavoured to throw them back into the boat. Williamson and another man, named Andrew Bogey, were driven back, and made a second attempt to get on board. While they were climbing up Williamson was struck on the head by one of the crew with a log of wood, or a handspike, and the blow loosened his hold. He fell into the water and was drowned. There was no doubt a French ship was answerable for damage done by process in the Court of Admiralty; but although the present offence had been committed within the jurisdiction of the Court of Admiralty, he doubted whether an English court had jurisdiction to try it.— The mayor said that Nicola Jean and the boys would be dis- charged. The other prisoners were remanded for a week. The magistrates agreed to accept bail for the captain in the sum of £ 100, and two sureties in £ 50 each. They declined to accept bail for the other prisoners.— Newcastle Chronicle. THE ALLEGED FRAUDS BY A GOVERNMENT CONTEACTOE.— The rumours to which we referred, says the Western Morning News, as being current in Devonport have been in part confirmed. We are able to state that not only has the fact of the alleged frauds been brought under the notice of the authorities, but also that yesterday morning a survey took place at the dockyard by two paymasters and a Government tailor. The precise nature of the charge is that the contractor has used cotton cloth instead of the No. 1 quality which was served out to him from the ship by the paymaster. Certainly the articles which have been brought on shore by Superintendent Baxter, detective Sergeant Brown, and Sergeant Bate are of the inferior quality, which is worth 4s per yard, while that served out for the garments is worth lis. We believe the credit of the discovery of the circumstances mentioned is due to detective Sergeant Brown. A report of the facts has been furnished to the Admiralty, and further instructions from head- quarters are awaited. We trust that the investigation which must now be made will be thorough, and effectually deter for the future all who seek to defraud or " Jew" the Government by any of those tricks of trade for which New York contractors have be- come so famous. There is the more reason for urging a strict in- quiry into this fraud, if fraud there be, inasmuch as not very long ago a clothing contractor was subjected to similar suspicions, but through the reticence of certain witnesses no criminal proceedings were instituted, and though the contractor had his c"> ntract can- celled two months before the expiration of its time, he has since been allowed to make a fresh contract for the same department. THE BANKRUPTCY OF LIEUT- COL DICKSON.— On Wednesday Lieut- Col Dickson, of 10, Stanhope- terrace, late Lieut- Col Tower Hamlets Militia, appeared before Mr Commissioner Fane, and obtained his release from custody. PEDESTRIANISM. WOECESTEE MUSICAL FESTIVAL.— This triennial festival, being the 140th meeting of the three choirs of Worcester, Hereford, and Gloucester, has take place during the past week, and has been attended with the greatest possible success. MADELINE SMITH.— The Edinburgh correspondent of the In- verness Advertiser states that Madeline Smith has been comfort- ably married, and may occasionally be seen on a 8unday, along with her husband, in a church not a hundred miles from the town of Linlithgow. OPENING OF BAXTEE PAEK.— On Wednesday, Sept 9, the People's Park at Dundee, better known as the Baxter Park, was opened with due ceremony by Earl Russell, who, previous to the opening, was presented with the freedom of the town. The park was presented to the town by Sir David and Misses Baxter, at an expense of about £ 50,000. NOVEL SCENE IN A CIECUS.— A singular incident occurred three evenings ago at the Raincy Circus at Ostend, when the Duchess de Brabant was present. The performance terminated by a stag hunt, in which the animal, finding itself surrounded, made a desperate leap, and alighted in the royal box at the feet of the duchess. It then jumped over the low partition, rushed down the grand staircase at the back of the box, gained the street, and has not since been heard of. This unexpected feat, which was Dot on the programme, excited general laughter in the theatre, in which the duchess herself was one of the first to join,— Galignani. ANTICIPATED STRIKE OF THE HORSE- NAIL MAKERS.— The demand of a rise of 6d by the horse- nail makers throughout the South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire districts, we are in- formed, will be resisted by the whale of the masters. The men at the end of hist week gave a fortnight's notice for this advance, and are hopeful of having it with as little trouble as the spike- nail makers of Coseley, Coppice, Sedgley, Gonial, and other places got their advance of 3d per cwt the same week.

THE WINKING VIRGIN OF VICOVAEO.— A letter from Rome of August 28 says that the extraordinary success of this miracle has so " o'erleapt" itself as to have led to a quarrel about the plunder between a priest and a bishop, which bids fairto bringthe miracle itself into disrepute. The receipts of the church of Vicovaro since the Madonna took to winking in it have been on an average 3,000 crowns ( about £ 600 a week). The Bishop of Tivoli, in whose dio- cese the church is, put in a claim for a share of this sum, but this claim was resisted by the cur6. The latter seems to have the law on his side, for the bishop, in despair of getting any money, now gives out that he has never seen the image wink its eyes, and that he doubts whether it does. DAMAGES FOR NEGLIGENT PLAYING AT CRICKET.— At the Bradford County Court, on Friday, an action was brought by Wm, Earrishaw, of Hopwood- street, Valley- road, against Frederick Kershaw, of Lillycroft, Manningham, for the recovery of £ 10 as damages sustained, owing to injury inflicted upon the plaintiff by the defendant in the careless and negligent playing of a cricket- ball. A short time ago the defendant and others were playing at cricket on the highway at Manningham, and as the plaintiff was passing, the ball, hit by the defendant's bat, struck the plaintiff beneath one eye. thereby inflicting such severe injury as to pre- vent him from following his employment for some time. The damages were laid at £ 10. The court gave a verdict for the plain- tiff for £ 5 and costs. ARAB HORSES.— The much vexed point as to the merits of English and Arab horses has just again been tried in Cairo. Ali Pacha, who has the finest stud of Arabs in Egypt, maintained that no English horse could run against an Arab" for four miles. His Highness Halim Pacha offered to run Companion, a well- known racer here, against him for any sum he liked. The match was run from the first station on the Suez desert to Cairo. The English horse, which was bred by Lord Ribblesdale, won in a canter by more than half a mile. 8uch a crushing defeat has taken all courage out of the partisans of Arab horses. What astonished the natives most was that Companion, beating his adversary by so great a distance, was perfectly fresh, and quite ready to turn round and run the distance over again, while the Arab was quite exhausted and blown.— The Times' Correspondent. A CARRIER FINED FOR CONVEYING GAME — A somewhat novel and important case came before the Gainsbro' bench of magistrates on Tuesday. A carrier between Willoughton and Gainsbro', named John Daubney, was summoned by a sergeant of police, named Wright, for having game in his cart which there was reason to believe had been obtained from lands whereon some per- son or persons had been unlawfully in search or pursuit of game. The policeman had found a hamper in defendant's cart, which on being opened was found to contain 31 partridges, all of which had had their necks broken, and none of them been shot. The de- fendant admitted that he had received the hamper from a man named Gilbert, who was known to the police as a poacher, and that he was conveying it to a regularly licensed game dealer at Gainsbro.' He was fined £ 5 and costs, and in default of payment was sent to prison for two months, with hard labour. SHOCKING GUN ACCIDENT AT WARRINGTON.— An accident, at- tended with fatal consequences, occurred on Monday afternoon, Sept 7. Two young men, named Peter Kenwright and William Durkin, went to the house of John Mee, in Hadcock- street, and borrowed a gun. Mee was not at home, but on his wife being asked by Ken wright if the gun was loaded, said she did not know. The young ir. en then went together to the shop of Thomas Lowe, butcher, Winwick- street. Ken wright went into Lowe's house for the purpose of procuring a powder flask and shot bag, leaving Durkin, who held the gun, at the shop door. Dnrkin stood with the gun resting on his foot, but, by some means, he let it fall, and, the hammer coming in contact with the ground, ail explosion was the result. The greater part of the contents were lodged in the head of a boy of Lowe's, four years of age, who was playing about in the shop. The boy was killed instantly. Durkin, in a state of great alarm, went to the police and gave himself into custody. The chief constable, however, finding that there was no blame at- tached to him, did not detain him. FATAL COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL.— Loss OF FOUE LIVES.— During theheavy squall and rain on Sunday evening, Sept 6, a shock- ing collision happened a few mile3 off Dungeness, which caused the foundering of the bark Elvira, Capt Haus, and the loss of four of the crew. The bark was on a voyage from Jamaica, with a mixed cargo of rum, sugar, and logwood, and was bound to Hamburg. She put into Plymouth on Saturday for orders, and resumed her voyage the same evening. According to the few particulars which have been gleaned from the Deal boatmen, she was making her way up Channel, the wind blowing strong from theN. W., with heavy rain, when she was run into by the Ocean King steamer, and sustained such fearful injury that she foundered. The owner of the Elvira, Mr Bellamy, was on board his bark, and be and Captain Haus, the commander; Mr Wilson, the mate; two apprentices, brothers, named Willy; and Edmund, the steward, were saved. The second mate, named Green; Holmar, a seaman; Yamblin, an apprentice, and another are believed to have perished. The steamer was much damaged, and has returned to the river to refit. A WOMAN CONVICTED UNDEE THE NEW POACHING ACT.— Mary Battley, a decently- dressed young woman, was brought be- fore the bench at Bridgnorth, on Monday last, charged with hav- ing, on the 5th instant, been illegally in the possession of nine rabbits, contrary to the previsions of the late Game Act. It ap- peared from the evidence of Police- constable Justene that early on the morning of the 5th instant he observed the defendant walking along the street, on her way homewards, with something bulky under her shawl. Knowing her to be the wife of a noto- rious poacher, he stopped her, and asked her what she had hid- den under her shawl. She said it was only a few rabbits which her husband had got while he was working. The constable then took possession of the rabbits, and subsequently summoned the defendant. The explanation of the woman was that she bought the rabbits of a man who was passing her door, whom she had never seen before, and whom she would not know were she to see him again. The bench did not believe this story, and fined the defendant, including costs, £ 1 8s 6d ; in default, twenty- one days. The money was paid.— Birmingham Daily Post. ALARMING ACCIDENT AT PAISLEY.— An accident by which two men have lost their lives, and another, it is feared, has been fatally injured, occurred on Thursday, Sept 3, at the High Church. That building is at present being re- slated, and the men, as usual, were working upon a scaffold, composed of three planks, supported upon needles projecting through the roof immediately above the top of the wall. About eight o'clock in the morning there were three men and a quantity of slates upon the scaffold or series of planks at the west end of the back of the church, when, it is said, arother man went upon the same scaffold with a kip, on which one of the needles broke, the scaffolding slid down, andjthreeof the men were precipitated headforemost to the ground, from a height of about 32 feet. The fourth man, who was farthest from the place at which the needle gave way, caught hold © f the remaining needle, and fortunately escaped without injury. It was sadly different with the others, all of whom were found to be very severely injured. They were removed as carefully and ex- peditiously as possible to the infirmary, where one of them died about ten, and another about two o'clock. STORM AND Loss OF LIFE.— On Sunday night, Sept 6, there was a strong galein the neighbourhood of Liverpool, accompanied by heavy showers of rain, which continued throughout Monday. The Isle of Man Company's steamship Mona's Queen, from Douglas to Liverpool, left Douglas about nine o'clock on Monday morning with a large number of passengers and cargo on board. It. was then blowing strong from the westward, and a heavy sea was running. During the passage the gale increased in violence, and about half- past two o'clock, when seven or eight miles outside the Bell Buoy, two terrific seas successively struck the afterpart of the steamer, carrying away the binnacle and a part of the quarter- deck bulwark. The steamer was then running before the wind, and a large number of the passengers were on deck, the quarter- deck being crowded with ladies and gentlemen. After the seas had struck the vessel, a lady passenger named Mrs M'Gee. of Sal- ford , was missed She was accompanied on the passage by MrDanber, coach builderof Salford, who left his wife and family in the island. Mr Danber, on arriving at home on Monday, had to break the intelligence of his wife's death to Mr Magee. He returned to Liverpool on Tuesday morning with several gentlemen who were desirous of sending out fishing smacks to search for the body of the unfortunate lady. Mr Danber says he had been chatting with Mrs Magee a few minutes before the accident occurred. He left her to go into the cabin, and had just returned on deck when the waves broke over it. Together with the deceased he was washed overboard; but, on rising to the surface of the water, clutched a rope that, was hanging down, and was dragged on board by a sailor with a hooked rope. POACHING AFFRAY IN ESSEX.— On Tuesday the Witham ma- gistra'es were engaged in investigating the circumstances of a desperate conflict between gamekeepers and poachers at Riven- hall, Essex, in which one of the former was twice fired at, and nar- rowly escaped with his life. It appears that early on Sunday morn- ing four keepers on the estate of Mr T. B Western, of Felix Hall, were engaged in watching the preserves known as the " Thicks," at Rivenhall. About six o'clock they heard several reports of fire- arms, and on reaching the spot from which the sounds proceeded they encountered two poachers with guns, one of whom was re- cognised as Henry Towns, keeper of a small public- house near Witham, and Thomas Ager, a labourer of the same place. As soon as the keepers appeared, Towns raised his gun, and delibe- rately fired at one of them, named William Burrell. The charge failed to take effect, but Burrell had a narrow escape, as the shot passed bet ween his arm and bodv, and cut down the brushwood immediately behind him. The keepers closed upon Towns, and after a severe struggle obtained possession of his gun, and secured him. Burrell then observed Ager, the other man, making his escape with his gun in his hand, and at once gave chase. When the pursued poacher saw the keeper was gaining upon him, he pointed his gun at him and fired. The charge struck the keeper in the side and knocked him down, while his clothing was shot away and his breast much bruised and discoloured, although, strange to say, he received no fatally serious injury. Ager was ap- prehended the same evening, when he stated that his gun went off by accident. Both men were brought before the Witham bench on Tuesday, Sept 8, Mr Brutj appearing on their behalf. After hear- ing the evidence, the magistrates committed them for trial at the next Essex Assizes. An application to admit Towns to bail was refused. CAUTION TO BATHERS.— On Tuesday an inquest was held at the Guilford Arms Inn, Dover, on the remains of Richard Murdock, a youth 18 years of age, and the son of a gentleman residing at Crievelands, Ballibay, near Dublin, who was drowned while bathing in the sea at East Cliff on Monday morning. It appears that the deceased expressed a strong desire to bathe, and his tutor, together with another pupil, went to bathe at East Cliff. The weather was peculiarly inappropriate for the purpose. There was a good deal of wind and rain, and the sea was exceedingly rough. he tide, moreover, was ebbing. After leaving the ma- chine the deceased and the Rev Mr Clayton, the tutor, got beyond the surf, but on the other pupil, named Yeates, endeavouring to get through the breakers, he hesitated and returned, although in so doing he was dashed upon the beach, and had to be assisted out. His two companions, finding that the tide was carrying them out, made the best efforts they could to reach the shore, but without success. The clergyman was twice hurled to the beach, but was swept out again. On one of these occasions he was so hurt that he told his companion that he feared he had not strength to reach the shore, but advised him to keep swimming. A wave larger than the rest, however, washed him on shore, where he was caught by a young seafaring man named Beer, who most cou- rageously had a rope lashed round him, and ventured into a sea in which, as the witnesses said, it would have been impossible for a boat to live. The wave which cast Mr Clayton on shore seems to have buried his less fortunate companion, who must have been nearly exhausted when it struck him. When he was next seen his head was lying helplessly on one side, and shortly afterwards his face was lost under water. The body was quickly recovered and conveyed to the nearest boat housed where Dr Astley spent I nearly an hour in endeavouring to restore animation, but without success. The jury, after hearing a quantity of evidence embracing the above fact =, returned a verdict of Accidentally Drowned. MATCHES TO COME.

PEDESTRIANISM AT BOW. DAVIS AND THOMPSON.— On Monday, Sept 7, these pedestrians met, pursuant to articles, on C. Wilson's enclosed ground, the Olympia, Bow, to run one mile, for £ 10, but the proceedings were conducted in a manner by no means creditable to those concerned, as the doings were in all things quite opposed to the spirit and recognised rules of fair play. The competitors had to run three laps and a distance of 120 yards, and after a deal of time had been cut to waste the referee was appointed. The betting was 2 to 1 on Davis, and for a minor event there was a good deal of the needful speculated. The men went off at a rattling pace, but no sooner had they entered upon the second lap, and as they were coming along the straight run, Davis, who was in the rear, made an attempt to come on the outside and pass his man. Thompson, finding he was likely to have his opponent get away, was determined n it to let him do so, therefore in the most improper manner " shouldered" Davis, and pushed him well in on the palings. Owing to this unfair conduct on the part of Thompson the men came slightly into collision, but just as Davis was getting well free and now to the fore, going away with the lead, Thompson threw himself down, his motive being to make it appear the act of his opponent. The referee, with great promptness, at once de- cided he had won, alleging Davis had lost, owing to throwing Thompson down. This decision— and there can be no disputing it is a most improper one— has given the utmost dissatisfaction to the friends of Davis, who have referred the matter to the stake- holder for final adjudication, as they think in this case the deci- sion of the referee ought to be set aside, as the backers of Davis consider that functionary decided in the way he did from corrupt motives. BEAGEN AND WHITE.— These men also came on the ground to walk six miles, for £ 5 a side. The betting was level, and Davis, the pedestrian, acted as referee. The result is soon told, for White, after walking a little over three miles, resigned, finding he had no chance, therefore Beagen won with the utmost ease, the match on the part of White being a very contemptible exhibition, as there seemed nothing like perseverance in the efforts he made. The winner can have the stakes at our office on Thursday, Sept 17, at twelve o'clock. PEDESTRIANISM AT BROMPTON. On Saturday, Bept o, this ground was well attended to witness a spin of 100 yards, for £ 5 a side, between two young men in the employ of Messrs Alldin, the well known builders, named re- spectively Pearce and Mortimer. Referee and starter being chosen the men toed the mark, a good start was effected, and Pearce ran in the winner by a yard, but so palpable were Mortimer's efforts not to win that he well nigh received that summary punishment which his shameful conduct towards his shopmates deserved. This race was followed by a 440 yards handicap, for money prizes, which brought the following ten to their respective marks.— First heat: H. Bainesscratch, J. Hancock ( Grenadier Guards) 10 yards start, Drake ( Coldstream Guards) 15, Knaggs20. Won by Hancock easily.— Second heat: Perry 5, Keefe 20, Fowlser 40. Won by Keefe by three yards.— Third heat: Rodwell 12, Charles 20, Fox 30. Won by Fox by two yards.— Final heat: Hancock 1, Fox 2, Keefe 3. Won by five yards. There were several other matches for minor stakes On Monday, Sept 7, Rogers and Stiles met to decide their race for £ 5 a side, 150 vards. H. Baines was chosen referee. Stiles won by two yards. AISTROP v TIME — On Tuesday, Sept 8, there was a good attendance on Mr Roberts's enclosed ground, Brompton, to wit- ness the match against time, in which C. Aistrop had been backed for £ 5 even, to run 10 miles within the hour. In adjusting the preliminaries Mr Roberts, the proprietor was chosen referee; and on Aistrop receiving the signal to start he went away at a good steady winning pace, which he maintained, and on the comple- tion of the distance was found, on referring to the watch, to have brought the struggle against the " enemy" to a successful issue, having completed the 10 miles seven seconds within the given time. This makes the third attempt Aistrop has made to accom- plish the feat, and i3 the only time success has attended his efforts. On Saturday, Sept 12, the 100 Yards Handicap, for money prizes ; admission 3d only. On Monday, Sept 14. Page and Tew- son, 440 yards, for £ 10 : admission 6d. On Saturday, Sept 19, the City Athletic Club Sports. Sept 21, the 300 Yards Handicap, for money prizes. On Monday, Sept 28, the One Mile Handicap, for £ 5 ; entrance Is, acceptance Is 6d. This ground can be reached by rail to Chelsea station, by omnibus, or by steamboat to Battersea. PEDESTRIANISM AT WANDSWORTH. EVES AND OWEN. — On Saturday, Sept 5, these pedestrians met on the above enclosed ground, of which G. Woody, so well known in sporting circles, has of late become proprietor, to de- cide their walk of six miles, for£ 5 a side, Owen being allowed one minute. There was a good muster present, and in adjusting the preparatory matters the proprietor was chosen referee. There was little or 110 betting on the result. On Owen receiving the sig- nal to go he dashed off at a good pace so as to make the most of the start allowed, and on the expiration of the allotted time had covered about 220 yards. Eves, when he went off in pursuit of his competitor, put on a rattling spurt, and when he went by for the completion of the first lap it was found he had succeeded in making* some trifling diminution in the distance between him- self and opponent. During the performance of the second and third laps Eves failed in gaining any decisive advantage, not- withstanding he made the most strenuous efforts, and on the finish of the fourth round ( one mile) Owen at most had not lost more than twenty yards of the distance covered in the start. While walking the second, third, and fourth mile Eves, instead of being able to lessen the perspective, fell more and more in the rear, so that it was apparent Owen was much his superior in speed. When the pedestrians passed for the commencement of the fifth mile it was apparent Eves had not the least chance, and after carrying on the hopeless struggle up to the completion of the nineteenth lap ( four miles and three quarters) he pulled up and resigned, being greatly distressed. Owen being now left to him- self, walked the Remainder of the distance out at his leisure. The first five miles were walked by Owen in 43 minutes, there being no further time taken, as the match was then virtually over. HIGGENSHAW GROUNDS, OLDHAM. SATURDAY, SEPT 5.— HILTON AND RUSHTON.— AS a sequel to the amusements ( barring, of course, the pony racing) by which Oldham has been characterised during the week, it being the annual wake of that town, C. Hilton of Rochdale and J. Rushton of Facit met at the above grounds this afternoon to run 440 yards, for £ 10 a side, Mr J. Seville, of the Crown and Cushion Inn, Old- ham, filling the office of referee. The betting fluctuated, but at start 6 to 4 was laid on Hilton. The race may be soon described, as, after one false attempt, they went away, Hilton cutting out the work, and he trigged past the referee a very easy winner by eight yards, without having been headed. OGDEN AND WILKINSON — T. Ogden and J. Wilkinson ( both of Oldham) have now deposited £ 5 each in the hands of Mr Bradley of that town, on account of their engagement to run 130 yards, for £ 10 a side, here, on Sept 19, Mr Chad wick, the pro- prietor of the grounds, to be referee.

Names, & c, to be stated at the time of entering. SNIPE INN, AUDENSHAW. SATURDAY, SEPT 5.— The attendance here this afternoon was small, as the weather was very unfavourable, the rain falling the whole of the afternoon, and the only event to be decided was a wrestling match for £ 10 a side, between J. Dolan of Staley- bridge and J. Harrison of Ashton. Mr W. Schora was ap- pointed stakeholder, and J. Mathy ( alias Barrel) referee. At three o'clock the men entered the ring and commenced play, when Dolan threw Harrison in 5j minutes. After an interval of ten minutes they again renewed hostilities, when Dolan again brought his man to grief, and put him to his mother earth in 13 minutes, and won. ARTINGSTALL AND ANDREWS.— Mr J. Hoi den now has £ 15 a side for the match between these men to run 120 yards here, for £ 25 a side, on Saturday, Sept 19, Artingstall to have two yards start inside.

HANCOCK AND 8ALT.— The race between these men came off at the Waterfall Gardens, Endon, on Monday, Sept 7, in the presence of a good muster of the friends of each. Betting opened at 6 to 4 and closed at 2 to 1 on Salt, at which price a good sum was in- vested. After dodging at scratch for ten minutes a start was effected, 8alt having the best of it, which he maintained to the end, and won easily by five yards. BURS- ST EDMUNDS.— A well- known local pedestrian, T. Andrews of Braintree, recently undertook to walk 56 miles per day for six successive days, between Bury St Edmunds and Swaffham. He commenced his task on Monday, Sept 7, but was taken ill in the evening, so that he could not proceed further with his task. He accomplished, however, the first day's 56 miles. GREAT FOUR MILES RACE AT HACKNEY WICK ON MONDAY, SEPT 14.— ANDREWS AND BRUNELL.— Again will these two noted among the " fleet of foot" contend for the mastery on Monday, Sept 14, at Hackney Wick, in a race of four miles, for £ 30. " Old Harry's'' performances it is not necessary to recapitulate, neither the rising fame of the " Bounding Antelope. As yet the Holborn man has had the call in their previous races, and the contest on Monday, Sept 14, is " really and truly" to decide which is the better man. The fact should be known that, although this is the day of the " grand benefit to Ryall," still this match takes place, a guarantee of the nature of the contest to be antici- pated, and a foreshadowing of one of the best day's sport witnessed for many years. Andrews and Brunell will bound from the mark precisely at four o'clock. Afterwards the grand sparring by Lon- don and provincial celebrities, for which see " Ring column." Apart from the other excellent sports the lovers of pedestrianism will have a rich treat in this race itself on Monday, Sept 14, at Hackney Wick. CANTERBURY CRICKET GROUND.— About 200 persons, including several of the military, met on the above ground on Tuesday, Sept 8, to witness the race of one mile, for £ 10, between J. Ent- wistle of the Artillery and E. Quested ( both residents of Canter- bury). Entwistle hails from Blackburn, whilst his opponent comes from Ashford, and both had previously gained some notoriety in foot racing in this neighbourhood, Entwistle being the favourite in betting. With commendable punctuality, both men came to their marks at five minutes past four, and Entwistle being placed the 15 yards given in advance, the pistol was fired to a very even start. Entwistle at once went to work, soon placed a cap of 50 yards between them, was never approached, and won with ease by 5C yards, Quested being completely outpaced. Ti me, 5min 30sec, G. F. Finn officiated as starter and referee.

CANINE MADNESS.— On this disease, commonly and erroneously called hydrophobia, M Sanson, a veterinary surgeon, has just published a pamphlet in which he states some remarkable facts, not quite in accordance with M Bouley's report, of which we gave an abstract a short time ago. He asserts that the necessity of biting is by no means an inevitable consequence of the disease, and that dogs would certainly die without any symptom of frenzy if they were entirely removed from causes of excitement. To prove this assertion, he states that on the 27th of July, 1860, he inoculated two dogs and a horse with the saliva of a. mad dog. On the 5th of August one of the dogs became melancholy, re- mained in a lying posture, and refused food. On the 6t, h this state continued; thf animal did not disturb the straw in his kennel, and did not bark. On the 7th it died, without having had any fit of frenzy. The other dog and the horse experienced no symptoms of disease. On the 9th of October following four dogs were inoculated with the saliva of. a mad dog that died on the 11th. On the 31st following, one of the dogs died with every symptom of furious madness. A few days later another died quietly, like the one mentioned in the first experiment, not having been exposed to any provoca- tion. The two remaining dogs continued in perfect health. M Sanson also shows that a dog labouring under the first, symptoms of the disease does not always display violent irritation when it sees another dog. He concludes with the following advice :— Not to excite a human patient by offering drink or otherwise, where- by his sufferings are greatly and unnecessarily increased, but to keep him quiet, in which case it is likely he will expire with the least possible suffering, and without fits. In support of this opinion of his he quotes several cases of persons having fallen victims to the disease, and who previous to their death were con- stantly excited by the physician and persons that attended them. In one of these cases the physician states in his report that the patient was in a state of prostration, and appeared calm. On being asked whether he would like to drink he accepted the offer with joy, but he no sooner saw the bottle and glass than he was seized with a paroxysm. M Sanson asks, reasonably enough, why he was offered any drink at all, and why he was not allowed to die in his state of quiet prostration ?— Galignani.

THE MAEKEiS. CORN EXCHANGE, MAltK- LANE.- FiuDAT. The arrivals of English Wheat and all other articles of home produce have been moderate at Mark- lane this week: and , he imports of foreign grain and Flour have been shjrter than for some time past. The in- quiry tor Wheat ( Knglish and foreign this morning was nottj say buoyant, but in the business done Monday's rise of Is to 2s per qr was confirmed. In Flour there was not much pasting, at former values. Barley was in steady request at firm prices. There was a fair demand for Oats, and occasiontll> rather more money was made than on Mon- day for the best descriptions. The few transactions in Beans and Peas were at previous quotations. The country markets have not been sc well supplied this week, which, coupled with the slow progress made with the harvest in the north, has had the effect of rising prices Js to 2s per qr : but the demand has not been active at this improvement, as, with more settled weather, it is thought a re- action will take place. Barley and Oats have been more saleable at last week's prices; and there have been fair transactions in Beans, Pea « , and Flour at full prices.

MONDAY, SEPT 7.— As on the previous Monday, the attendance was anything but numerous, but a good deal of interest was imparted to the proceedings owing to the knocking about of Lord Clifden for the St Leger. On the previous Saturday a demonstration set in against him in the City, when, consequent on a rumour that he had " not been out lately," he receded to 10 to 1, and this morning a further hostile display sent him to 25, and in some instances, to 33 to 1. It was scarcely likely, however, that his lordship would be allowed to " go away" altogether so rapidly, and a movement in the market this afternoon speedily brought him back to 20 to 1, and at the close 100 to 6 was the highest price obtainable. The decline of Lord Clifden had the effect of bringing The Ranger to a more forward position, for after 375 to 100 had been booked three times, he left off at 7 to 2 ( taken and offered). The demonstration against Lord St Vincent's horse, however, had not any favourable effect upon Queen Bertha, who was quite friendless at 6 to 1, and backers were only tempted once or twice by offers of 100 to 15. Avenger— who of late had been somewhat quiet in the market— was again in strong force, and backed freely at odds ranging from 7 to 1 to 15 to 2, the last bet booked about him being 750 to 100. Golden Pledge, too, was very firm, and would have beensupported for money at 10 to 1, a commission being out to back him at that price, but as layers refused to spring any- thing over 9 to 1 but little actual business was done abaut him. Borealis was steady at 18 to 1, and after 20 to 1 had been ! aid against Blue Mantle he settled down at the same price as Mr I'Anson's mare. Donnybrook, as heretofore, found supporters at 80 to 1, as did National Guard at three points more. Of the others quoted below it will suffice to say that Mogador, who was in demand last week at 40 to 1, was " sent away'' to 1,000 to 15. Nothing whatever was done on the Derby, and the doings on the Leamington Stakes were almost entirely confined to offers of 4 to 1 on the field, Magnum Bonum being the understood favourite. THURSDAY, SEPT 10.— Notwithstanding the near approach of the Leger, the Subscription Room was almost deserted throughout the afternoon, most of the members being at Leicester. A handful of subscribers congregated on the steps, but of course there was but very little done on the forthcoming " Bel- linger." Avenger retained his recently acquired position of first favourite, and would have been backed at 11 to 2, half a point above the offered odds, and Queen Bertha would also have found friends at 6 to 1, layers, however, declining to go beyond " five and a half." Lord Clifden's position was as inexplicable as ever, and The Ranger exhibited some signs of being " on the wane." Early in the afternoon 9 to 1 might have been had about Lord 8t Vincent's " crack," but later he was backed at 8 to 1, and quite late, after nearly everybody had left, offers to take as little as 7 were to be heard. The Ranger, who at first was tolerably firm at 7 to 1, being backed at that price for some little money, subse- quently receded a point, and 8 to 1 was freely offered against him at the close, the same odds being obtainable about Golden Pledge. 16 to 1 was offered against Borealis. Lord Clifden was backed against The Ranger for an even " thousand;'' 700 to 200 was laid against Lord Clifden and The Ranger coupled, 400 to 200 was laid against The Ranger and 100 to 40 against Lord Clifden being " placed." The publication of the weights for the Autumn Han- dicaps failed in producing any actual speculation, although there was an apparent disposition to instal Myrtle first favourite for the Cesarewitch, for which 1,000 to 30 was offered on the field.

TATTERSALL'S- SATURDAY, As usual, on the Saturday preceding the St Leger, the room was opened for the purpose of comparing on that event and the transaction of other business, but the muster was not a large one. It was a nice point as to favouritism between Queen Bertha and Avenger— the highest offer on the field being 5 to 1, layers generallj' declining to advance the required half point even about either of them, while at the close of the afternoon 1000 was offered on Avenger against " anything.'' Not more than 6 to 1 was forthcoming about Lord Clifden, while The Ranger at one time was sent to 10 to 1. In a few minutes, however' $ 00 to 100 was taken, and offers against him were then reduced to 100 to 12. Golden Pledge, too, received some knocking about, foi- at the commencement of business 100 to 7 was laid against him ; subsequently, however, he advanced to 10 to 1, taken and " wanted," and a " monkey" even was betted between him and The Ranger, " with a start." Borealis and Blue Mantle remained at their previous quotations— 100 to 6— and some money was put on The Serf at 40 to 1. Ten points more were offered against Donnybrook, and 1000 to 15 against Dr Syntax. For the Great Yorkshire Handicap the latter was first favourite at 7 to 1, a point more being offered against Blondin. Mr Snewing's mare was backed at 10 to 1, and The Serf met with no support for this event at two points more.

WARWICK NOTES AND THE DONCAS- TER MEETING. The inferior quality of the competitors for the handicaps at Warwick renders it unnecessary to refer to them at length, the most important incident they produced being the defeat of Cheer- ful for the Welter Cup, which proved those who had considered his chance for the St Leger a good outside one to have made a great mistake. Magnum Bonum won the Leamington Stakes by staying the longest, and perhaps Dunkeld was the only one of his opponents capable of getting a distance in anything like com- pany ; so that had either Fantail or Watchman faced the starter they must, with the best of the weights, have been before the uncertain son of Steelpen, who never had a chance with Dr Syn- tax for the Cup on the second day, the latter beating Fairwater so very cleverly that he more than filled the gap made in the rawks of the St Leger outsiders by the defeat of Cheerful an hour or two previously. Barter, the winner of the County Handicap showed some form, even allowing she had so much the best of the weights, for she won from end to end, and having been in public but once before there may be many a good race in her yet. The two year old running was of too remarkable a character to be passed over, as, after King George and The Clown had run so well with the Phemy filly and Union Jack ( the account of whose performance in Ireland last week did not reach us until our notes on the Warwick Meeting were penned) on the first day, it seemed any edds on the pair beating Cadiz in Wednesday's Sweep- stakes, for the selling plater was behind Golden Dust and the used- up General Hess when in receipt of weight from the filly in the Trial Stakes, and none of his previous performances would warrant the supposition that he could make a good two year old gallop when giving it 231b. Attraction, for instance, ran away from him at Lewes with 251b between them, and the litter is not within a stone of King George and Clown on public form. King George's perfor- mance in the Castle Stakes was the best of his many brilliant ones, for he was giving the Phemy filly 151b, and 41b to Union Jack, who at the Curragh on Thursday week spread- eagled a field of ten ( and among them Light) in fine style. The Leicester Meeting there is not time to refer to, and the acceptances for the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire being due on Tuesday next, we must defer a thorough analysis of them till our next. 8ome information can be derived concerning the St Leger cracks by scanning the weights, as they virtually afford a " tip" for the great event from " The Admiral," who'has put 8st21b on The Ranger for the Cesarewitch, 7st 111b on Avenger, 7st 91b on Golden Pledge, 7st71b on National Guard, 7st 51b on Donny- brook, 7st 31b on Onesander, 7st on Blue Mantle, 6st 111b on Blondin, and 6st 101b each on WoMga and Scamander; and for the Cambridgeshire he has given Borealis but 7st lib— 131b less than The Ranger and Avenger. He evidently doubts the staying of Blue Mantle, who in the shorter race has 7st- 51b, or within 91b of The Ranger, the latter giving him 161b in the Cesarewitch; but intimates that Carnival, La Toucques, and Isoline are all superior to anything engaged in the St Leger. Anfield was backed for the Cesarewitch at a comparatively short price several days before the weights were even hinted at, but has plenty tu carry, and his backers could not have expected otherwise after Magnum Bonum carrying off the Leamington Stakes with 7st 121b, independently of which Blackdown, to whom Anfield was a good second at Goodwood, gave 111b to a first- class horse like Change, and ran him to a neck at Reading. He is, in fact, entitled to every pound of his weight, and may not be allowed to go out of the market. Myrtle has got pretty well off with 6st 131b, and her stable companion, Summerside, is equally well treated in both races, the " American lot'' being as dangerous an one as we can dis- cover, especially if the cast- off, Umpire, could be included in it, as he is literally turned loose in the Cesarewitch, in consequence of the doubt existing, of course, whether he can " stay.'' However, the Doncaster meeting is certain to bring to light something good for both races, as there are many events in the programme besides the St Leger to affect them. There are thirty- five in all to be decided during the four days, inclusive of five matches, and ten items that have not yet closed; and, nothing having occurred for several weeks to stop horses in their prepara- tion, we may confidently anticipate a good meeting, for there are many " big races'' in addition to the St Leger— the Champagne Stakes and Great Yorkshire Handicap on Tuesday, the Portland Plate and Eglinton Stakes on Thursday, and the Cup on Friday, forming great features in themselves. The Champagne Stakes, one of the chief two year old contests of the year, if it does not happen to have a Derby favourite en- gaged in it, will excite a vast amount of interest, supposing Fille de 1' Air and Linda to meet, for the result will materially influence the pretensions of Paris, who beat Linda a length at Goodwood, where the French filly accomplished what appears to be the best two year old performance of the season. The other public horses engaged consist of Esperance, War Dance, Outlaw, Wild Rake, Ely, Knight of Snowdon, Master Richard, Beaboy, Armourer, Rouge Crosse, Laomedon, Beatrix, the colt by Saunterer out of Calliope, Castle Espie, the colt by Van Galen out of Vacuna, Audacieuse, the colt by Fazzoletto out of Calista, Figaro, Jeu des Mots, Bat- taglia, Brindisi, Myrtilus, Hymettus, Scottish Chief, and Miner. The latter has only accomplished a walk over, and there is no getting his measure ; but there is nothing for the two fillies to fear from the others, public running putting the lot behind them on the most direct line. Neither can we say much in favour of the dark lot, after their being kept at home till September, although the majority have fashionable pedigrees— Promenade being a filly by Saunterer out of Hybla, Kettledrum's dam ; Margaret, a filly by West Australian out of Hawise, the dam of Nancy and Erin go Bragh ; Rappidan, a filly by Beadsman out of Miami; Vaux- hall, a colt by Kingston out of Tested ; Souchamp, a colt ( bred in France) by The Prime Warden or Womersley out of Susannah ; Forager, a colt by Btockwell out of Sortie; Clarges, a colt by Che- valier d'Industrie out of Bravery; Columbine, a filly by De Clare out of Harlequin's dam ; Gownsman, a colt by Surplice out of Tomyris, the dam of Avenger ; Ayacucho, a colt by Orlando out of Ayacanora, a daughter of Birdcatcher and Pocahontas ; Scarlet Runner, a filiy by Orlando out of Haricot, the dam of Caller Ou and half- sister to Blink Bonny; Jupon, a colt by Newminster out of Trousseau; Vagabond, a colt by Kingston out of Frolic; Mara- bout, a colt by Voltigeur out of Trickstress ; and the Young Mel bourne colt, an offspring of a mare got by Gameboy out of Phy- salis. Souchamp has been backed for the Derby, and Promenade, Vauxhall, Forager, Ayacucho, Jupon, Vagabond, aud Marabout fetched long prices when yearlings ( 3,670 guineas were paid for the seven) ; but we do not anticipate the advent of the Frenchman when there is the filly to represent the stable, for Fille de l'Air is entitled to a preference even over Linda ( through the latter's run- ning with Idler in the Goodwood Nursery, after the French filly had run away from him in the race for theMolecomb), and ought consequently to be enrolled the winner. The Filly Stakes, another two year old spin, has a lot of public performers nearer together than the above; Syren, Polonaise, Clairvoyante, Saragossa, Gondola, Alcyone, Procella, Battaglia, Wild Thyme, and Coimbra comprising nothing very brilliant, al- though the majority have donerespectably; and the dark Henrietta ( a lilly by Lord Fauconbergoutof Maid of Team Valley), Chalybeate ( a filly by Leamington out of Lady Touchstone), Boadicea ( a sister to Nutbourne), and the filly by Newininster out of Lady Haw- thorn may produce a superior to either Syren, Saragossa, Polo- naise, Clairvoyante, or Gondola, the latter of whom will run better than she did at Stockton, but can hardly be expected to compete with Syren, whose performances with Coast Guard and Apennine render her the most trustworthy ally that we can dis- cover. For the Glasgow Stakes Midnight Mass is only opposed by Brindisi, Mahometan, Myrtilus, and the " dark'' Sotilla, and there appears nothing in the way of his victory. In the Revival Plate, an all- aged race on the same course as the three two year old contests noticed above, Lord Adolphus and Little Stag are the best of the juveniles, the latter having escaped the penalties, while his lordship has a 51b allowance, which will put the 71b penalised Persuasion and Faith out of court over this distance, as it is slightly over five furlongs. The Little Stag has done three or four good things, and J Osborne has little to fear, supposing neither Lady Clifden nor Tattoo are in the field. In the Doncaster Plate, one mile, Merry Maid has another chance of proving whether she is worth keeping in training, three yearolds giving her nearly 201b and the year; still the best of the youngsters might bowl her over, as Selection did at Epsom, and the company is bad enough for Manchester to win in. The Great Yorkshire Handicap, St Leger course, has scarcely been talked about as yet, and it is impossible to form anything like an accurate estimate of what the field will consist v> f, for The Serf and Earl of Surrey, who looked like becoming great favour- ites, have been " knocked out" at the first opportunity by their own partisans, and with the doubt existing whether Blondin or Dr Syntax will start, it is hard to discover one worth standing upon at this writing, unless it is Barter, who won with plenty in hand at Warwick, and will be in receipt of weight from almost all her opponents here. On recent public form we must prefer Prince Arthur to Cceur de Lion in their Match; and when Wee Aggie could get within a length of Syren, at Stockton, giving her 51b, it does not appear on the cards that Dawdle can give her a stone over her own course, however bad her subsequent performances may have been. The ball will probably be opened on the St Leger day with the Municipal Stakes, a heavy " sweep" for two yearolds, which has five subscribers, Beloochee ( a colt by Stock well out of Meeanee), and the filly by West Australian out of Clarissa having yet to be seen in public. The filly by Wild Day re II out of Lady Lureweil and Washington have only been out to suffer defeat; and if The Miner is the good colt some people think him, his owner should be the fortunate recipient of the rich stakes. The Handicap Sweepstakes for two year olds, Lady Mary ( 6st lllb) can hardly lose, if in her Liverpool form, as she is han- dicapped on 121b better terms with Lord Adolphus, despite her defeat of him there; and next to her we notice Vanessa and War Dance as worthy of some confidence. The Corporation Plate, a mile handicap, is within the reach of Waterwitch ( 5 yrs, 8st 51b), seeing how she won with an extra 71b over the same distance at Newmarket, and Stockinger ( 4 yrs, 7st 41b), is not hardly dealt with either. The St Leger has puzzled the talents in the most remarkable manner ever since the defeat of Lord Clifden in the Paris Prize, and it is singular that a longer price is now offered " on the field" than was taken about any favourite when Armagnac, Bonny Bell, Cheerful, Clarior, Double X, Judex, Light Bob, Mogador, One- sander, Pratique, Saccharoineter, and Sea King occupied positions in the market. The probable field cannot be well determined yet, but for the £ 5,100 ( the richest St Leger Stakes on record), the following are all expected to put in an appearance: Ridden by Avenger A. Edwards Blondin C. Marlow Blue Mantle Lynch Borealis Challoner Bright Cloud or Cheerful Clarior T. Aldcroft Curie 8. Adams Dr Syntax Donnybrook S. Ridden by Gladstone H. Covey Golden Pledge Fordham Light Bob Doyle Lord Clifden Osborne National Guard J. Snowden Prince Lee Boo.... Onesander Lnates Queen Bertha Wells Ranger J. Goater Scamander Custance Erin go Bragh Judd Tademus F. Adams AVENGEE has within the last few days occupied the position his Ascot performance entitled him to, that of first favourite; for a horse that, in his half- trained condition, could beat Borealis, Vivid, Judex, Dr Syntax, Blue Mantle, Mogador, & c, in a common canter, must be set down to have a better St Leger certificate than either Queen Bertha or Lord Clifden, as in the Oaks Vivid and Borealis were both closer to the winner, Queen Bertha ; and Lord Clifden, beaten a head for the Derby, had not a length the best of Blue Mantle therein. We do not overlook the fact of Avenger having had a 71b allowance at Ascot, or of BlueMant. le and Mogador being penalised 31b each; but if he is only given credit for having had half a stone the worst of it as regards condition, he will have to be handicapped the best performer in the race, after run- ning away from the most forward horses ( barring the actual winners) in the Derby and Oaks, and in a style that would make it appear, on paper he would have beaten both Ma- caroni and Queen Bertha had they joined issue with him instead of Blue Mantle and Vivid. He was slightly under a cloud just after the York MeetiBg, and there were hints of a difficulty in preparing him for the struggle ; but the last few days have re- moved these doubts, and we do not believe there will be one in the field more fitted to contest the race. He has been tried to stay any reasonable distance, and we cannot help thinking Lord Stam- ford is fairly on the road to winning another of the rich prizes his large stud of horses and bold purchases entitle him to obtain such a good share of. QUEEN BEETHA, after showing but a moderate two year old form, surprised the world by carrying off the Oaks, after a head and head race with Marigold and Vivid, with whom it is safer to measure her than with Isoline and Borealis, who were evidently not in the form we have seen them display recently, for in the Craven Stakes at the Epsom Meeting Isoline was no better than The Comet when Adventurer cantered home in front of the pair; and at Manchester a week afterwards Borealis was not many pounds superior to The Comet when Dictator beat them both so easily. Again, at Ascot, the 51b penalty enabled Onesander to beat her majesty very easily over a mile and a half, and it was universally admitted the two had an equal chance of carrying off the St Leger on that performance, so that, as Onesander was only Lord Stamford's second string, Avenger was by this entitled to as great a preference over Queen Bertha as he was by the defeat of the Oaks fillies at Ascot. However, in despite of this, the Whitewall filly was backed by the best of judges, who argued that the improvement there was plenty of room for, and the preparation " the Wizard" could give her, would make a great difference on the St Leger Day ; and when The Eagle, Early Purl, and Old Orange Girl got such a good measure of The Ranger at York, many booked the event " all over but shouting," as the Queen was said to be at least 101b superior to Old Orange Girl, who beat the third for the Derby ( Rapid Rhone) as far as Lord Clifden did. Had Old Orange Girl stayed at home instead of running at Stockton, she would have doubtless retained the pride of place in the market; but since the defeat of Mr Bowes's filly, in which there was really nothing, in our opinion, ta be alarmed at, she has been unable to hold her own, and in despite of the fact that no favourite could possibly have done better than Queen Bertha has of late, it. is evident there is a strong and dangerous opposition arrayed against her. Consequently, while seeing nothing in her public form to encourage us, we are reluctantly compelled to look elsewhere than to J. Scott's stable for the winner. THE RANGER has never fairly recovered the prestige he lost at York, when defeating Old Orange Girl by a neck only, for al- though he saw a shorter price than ever on Saturday and Monday last, it was purely on account of the squaring operations of those who considered Lord Clifden was out of the race. However, be- fore the latter " came" again at Warwick it was evident there was a screw loose with the Findon crack, who has gradually receded under a heavy fire to a most unhealthy price, considering the few good horses there are in the race, and it is rumoured he has not been doing well at home all the week. His form has been always difficult to obtain the measure of, as when he first came out in the Newmarket Biennial he only just got home before Gladstone, Escape, Onesander, Newchurch, Mogador, and Sea King, who were but moderate performers up to this time. There was every excuse for this, nevertheless, iH his backward prepara- tion and Goater's evident anxiety to draw it fine, and as he finished in the first flight for the Derby after a serious dis- appointment, he was stamped a good horse at once, many people standing him for the Grand Prize at Paris, where fortune favoured him more than it did at Epsom, as Lord Clifden had gone amiss, and La Toucques, who had just previously contested two severe races in France, was not at all up to the mark. There was, consequently, nothing else to beat be- yond Saccharometer and Donnybrook, and his staying qualities easily settled the pretensions of this pair. At York, he certainly did not look in his Paris form; but there was not such a good excuse for his slovenly defeat of Eagle, Early Purl, and Old Orange Girl, as there was for his first performance, and we are half in- clined to believe he has not " trained on" during the summer months as a St Leger winner should do. GOLDEN PLEDGE has gradually run into a form that raises a question whether he is not equal to anything likely to figure at Doncaster, for it is impossible to calculate how much he had in hand when winning the Ebor Handicap at York, and to attempt a measure of liirn with Change through Trust seems to us labour in vain, for the latter never got within hail of him, and would have been beaten a dozen lengths had Loates ridden the Pledge out. J. Osborne some time back tried him a great horse, and he carried a lot of money for the Derby; but when trained at Middle- ham he disappointed his backers many times, and on his last apppearance prior to the York meeting he was beaten very easily by Isoline at Manchester. But they are very fond of him in his new quarters, and we saw enough of him at York to sup- pose he will run into a place, for he is sure to stay the distance, and in heavy ground we should even reckon on his absolute victory. LORD CLIFDEN is the sensation horse in the St Leger. ha.- ing suffered a greater amount of peppering than we should have thought it possible for him to hold his head up under. It has always been a moot point with those who will discuss races after the judge's fiat has gone ferth, whether he ought not to have won the Derby ; but whether or not, it is evident the contest took a great deal out of him, for when competing with Jarnicoton on the Oaks day, he looked quite another horse, and was dead amiss when they got him to Paris for the Grand Prize. Further, how- ever, the " world has not been enlightened concerning him, and rumours have been so contrary as to what he has done at home since, that we will not attempt to judge which is the most correct. This we do know, that his party backed him at one time to win a great stake, and that subsequently some parties have never ceased laying against him, with an idea that he has been doing no work. These latter may have been de- ceived ; but if so, it has been done by a clever piece of finesse, which we can hardly suppose his party would be guilty of, as nothing was to be gained by driving him back, and if he should win, after all, the settling will be an awful one, for which they are certain to be the greatest sufferers. We incline to the idea that he has not done well; and there also appears a difficulty whereto find a jockey for him, as after the split with Fordham subsequent to the Derby, it seems very improbable that he will be put up, although Lord St Vincent has a claim upon his ser- vices. BOREALIS, a worse two year old than Queen Bertha, first dis- tinguished herself this year by running Adventurer a severe race for the Flying Dutchman's Handicap at York Spring; and as the Richmond horse had the day previously beaten a fair field very easily for the Great Northern, she was thought good enough to back for the Oaks ( especially after running away from Newchurch at Chester) at all manner of prices down to 3 to 1. It was said she had been tried with Caller Ou at what appeared fabulous weights; but the result proved the " trial," like many others be- fore it, to be all a mistake, as she was only a bad fifth to Queen Bertha, Marigold, Vivid, and Isoline, which somewhat staggered her friends, who point to the Ascot running ( she turned the tables on Vivid there for second place to Avenger) as a proof there was something wrong. She likewise exhibited a better form than Isoline at Manchester, although defeated; and the clever defeat of Change at Stockton quite negatives her being beaten by Trumps at Wolverhampton, in our estimation. In a St Leger we are bound to look at the money entrusted to a candidate in such hands as Borealis is, in despite of her being only a " pony;'' and were there a little more of her, we should feel inclined to stand on her as the absolute winner. BLUE MANTLE has run more " in- and- out'' than any other in the above list, and beyond his three performances at Ascot fifteen months ago, and the forward position he occupied in the Derby, everything tends to prove him a rogue. There were so many " c'. ose up" in the Derby, that we are afraid to trust in the form ; and at best Blue Mantle, through Rapid Rhone, is held safe by The Ranger, independently of which he twice ran a bad horse at Ascot, when backed for a lot of money. He is booked a " good thing " to back for the first three; but his softness may prevent his getting one of the coveted places, and were he to run ever so gamely, it would be another St Leger surprise were he to take the first one. NATIONAL GUARD is the most abused horse ( after Lord Clifden) in the race, all sorts of defects having been set up against him, although it is admitted that when running in the Derby he was short of work, and that a more racing like gentleman will not be seen at Doncaster. With a jockey up he did something to his credit over the Derby course at Epsom, by running Flirtation to a length, at only 91b difference for the two years ; and those who witnessed Flirtation's two performances a week before at Harpenden cannot but think the " public trial" a good one. In the Trial Stakes at Ascot Flirtation was a good fifth to Tippler, Redcap, Tornado, and Bathilde, giving the first- named nearly two stone; and as National Guard could not do more than gallop away from Sauterelle, Stockman, Comet, Erin go Bragh, and Manfred at Stockton, after making running for the whole mile and a half, we cannot con scientiously array ourselves amongst those who entertain a pre- judice against him, there being no " rank outsider" so well qualified to carry off the St Leger as he is. DE SYNTAX ran better with a man on his back on his first ap- pearance this season than he has done since, having been second for the Wiltshire Stakes at Salisbury with 7st 91b, giving 121b to Isoline; and considering how difficult it was for Taylor to hold him at Warwick, he did a pretty good thing when beating Fair- water for the Cup over two miles and a half, in despite of having the best of the weights. His looks, too, betokened a great im- provement since Liverpool, and his awner is quite justified in sending him to the post, on the " off chance," in such a mode- rate field. EEIN GO BRAGH is the only remaining candidate whose perform- ances are worthy of being noticed, and he has distinguished himself mostlyover short courses, having done little bettera' adistance than either Blondin or Donnybrook, who are backed to win good stakes purely on the strength of their private reputations, which are said to be first- rate; Donnybroek especially carries a lump of money, and as his party have had many an opportunity of mea- suring him with Erin go Bragh and National Guard, he must be worthy of some respect if they are only in earnest. We cannot, however, quite understand why Erin go Bragh should have been quietly backed for so much money since his sale, and there would be nothing astonishing in his defeating his brother Irishman. To sum up, we must plead to a preference for Avenger, Golden Pledge, and Borealis of the favourites; and for National Guard, Erin go Bragh, and Dr Syntax of the outsiders; and a careful analysis of " public form,'' the money put on the horse, ami the good hands he is in, justify our giving the St Leger of 1863 to AVENGER. On Thursday the Portland Plate will be the great gun with speculators, who always wager more heavily than usual on a scramble, which this undoubtedly is, so much so that we will not attempt to select the absolute winner, but confine ourselves to the hint that, in taking lots to beat the field, neither Queen of Trumps, Livingstone, Biondella, Lady Abbess, Queen Elizabeth, Poland, nor Gem of the 8ea— or whatever their respective sta- bles may substitute for them— should be overlooked. The Cleveland Handicap is dependent on the results of several preceding events, although Barter must be dangerous with her light weight over the mile; and we must let the Champagne foretel whether Fille de l'Air or Linda can carry off the Sweep- stakes for two year olds on the mile T. Y. C., the principal candi- dates being engaged in the more important struggle of Tuesday. The Eglinton Stakes, a mile two and three year old race, would create some excitement if it brought tegetber The Clown, Beaver, Prince Arthur, King of Utopia, Avenger, Roman Bee, Car- nival, Vivid, Borealis, and Donnybrook, as the talent would hardly know where to place their confidence, unless it was in Carnival, who has no penalty to carry and looks like the winner. Thursday's match is between a beaten filly by Toxophilite out of Miss Whip and a " dark" filly belonging to Sir Joseph Hawley ; and the same two gentlemen are pitted against each other in the couple of matches set for Friday, wherein three of the four candidates are unknown to public fame, so that it would be mere guess work to discuss them. Then there is the Doncaster Stakes, dependent on the St Leger performances of Borealis, National Guard, and Lord Clifden; and the great event wi'l also signify whether his lordship is in suffi- ciently good form to beat Vivid, Port Royal, & c, for the Don Stakes, where the distance is only a mile. The Park Hill 8takes already looks reduced to a match between Fantail and Canace, of which we must stand on the first named, the only remaining item as yet completed being the 200 sovs Sweepstakes, and that is a walk over apparently for Rapid Rhone. The other meetings of the week must give way to Doncaster ; and we are not required to take cognisance of either the Isle of I hanet, Newcastle- under Lyme, Bridgwater, or Maidstone bills of fare, attractive as each gathering may prove in their respective localities. A LAY OF THE LEGER. Mr Bell, another bottle ! now we're cosy and alone We'll call our boon companions from France, from Rhine, from Rhone. Hot vintage of Hispania and Portugal give place, We'll summon Madame Clicquot to the council on the race; Gods! how the creamy nectar lifts the soul the earth above, As delicate and thrilling as the virgin kiss of love. Let woman be the foremost toast where brimming beakers shine, We'll cry a " hoch" and empty to " The Widow and her Wine !" Fill up again, and whilst each bead with bubble comrade plays, The Ranger be the first to pass before the mental gaze; Where are the critics now whose wish was father to the thought, Who swore the Yorkshirerunning put him '' wholly out of court;"' Who saw that of the Leger course they barely raced a third, And quite forgot the Orange Girl was speedy as a bird ? Let Malton pledge her honour that Queen Bertha will " walk in," You know as well as I, sir, that John's favourites seldom win. And whence he gets the line may well bewilder thinking folks; Not from the lot of platers that she settled in the Oaks; Not from the Ascot running, for if that were safe to stand, Lord 8tamford and Avenger hold the winning card in hand. You cannot work it out ? nor I; for motive at a loss We'll seek for inspiration from the ruddy Chateau Cos, Gloat o'er its purple mantle, sniff the bouquet full and bold. And apropos of Mantles, smarter, neater ne'er was foaled Than Harlock's; and beshrew me, but I think, by all that's good » The little horse would tease ' em if his heart lay where it should. Battered and shaken, tossed about as seaweed by a wave, Is all then lost, is there no hope the Sussex pet to save? Though crack- brained silly prejudice may write the colt as " dead," I can't forget the Derby pot was barely beat a head ; Still must I doubt, whilst proffered " scores" despondingly I scan, If Telscombe luck can ever draw twelve thousand from Oran. Though tipsters flout, and touts disdain the chance of Donnybrook, There's danger in her rivalry when Leeds puts on the " crook;" If naught arise to bar the way, no " cliff" his course retard, He'll beat his old companion, the lusty Richmond " Guard;" Gem of the field from head to beel the latter will be found, He should not lack a " bacca" were I sure his " pipes" were sound , Fill up again, clink rim with rim, let edge embrace with edge, j " A lucky week and settling good" shall be the golden pledge; The toast, methinks, unless Jade Fortune straight her brow unbends, Will prove as unavailing as the Pledge that Goater sends. Don't waste a thought on him, my friend, the conqueror of crocks, Nor hope again for victory when once you've seen his hocks ; No soft King Tom shall snatch the prize, their mention I abhor, And will not have at any price the Hebrew Mogador; With whom can Glasgow's lot pretend successfully to cope ? Some coughing, others short of work, ' tis hoping against hope; Still Aldcroft must be handy if his mount can race a bit, He'd be forward on a bullock if the beast was only fit; And if a rank outsider's lucky head shall touch the stars, I rather think between ourselves ' twill be—" Eh, what, cigars !'' Cabanas, with mysterious haze the prophet's grot enfold ! Call up dark spirits from below— I say, that claret's cold ! And sudden chills if not assuiged a train of evils bring. In such a case the faculty assert hot grog's the thing ; Hold, Mr Bell! forswear that stale and antiquated plan, ' lis ruin if you mix the drink like any other man ; Let sugar quantum suf dissolve ' midst water screeching hot, Then pour the potent I stay, aud no meagre stream allot; Squeeze from the lemon juice galore, and cast the peel aside. But e'er the glittering spoon you plunge beneath the steaming tide Join to the rest with careful hand pale sherry half a glass, Then that the elements unite let seconds thirty pass. Taste, and with rapture overcome, acknowledge from your soul The demi- verre has added magic softness to the whole; Taste, and admit ' tis tipple fit to call to life the dead, And lavish grateful blessings on your Orange Blossom's head. Now fully primed for prophecy, for fooling in the vein, Draw up the curtain, sound the gong, and here we are again. Fast up the T. Y. C. they spin, and faster grows the pace, And still the yellow jacket is the foremost in the race ; And faster yet, and still more fast, has dwindled down the field, And still the blood of old Voltaire disdains to droop or yield. Hoarse is the roar from Ring and Stand, from cockney and from clown, As one by one^ midst cracking whips the favourites go down. In vain they strive to wrest the lead, in vain to save the day, As right and left they challenge, right and left they drop away; The curs shut up, the roarers stop, and die away the rips, And " Savile wins" is bursting from twice fifty thousand lips. No! Yet there's hope; responsive to the fielders' anxious shout The green and straw looks dangerous, then flickers, and dies out; The chance of Borealis, scarce conceived, as quick has flown, The boy in yellow calm and still as monarch on his throne; Stay, Goater! still there's peril! cast a hasty glance aside, For Donnybrook comes out and overhauls you every stride. Don't take a pull or beat for speed, the fatal act you'll rue. Trust to the Blacklock heart of steel to pull your favourite through. Ere Leeds can taste of victory the cup perchance may slip ;'* The doubt has changed to certainty as Clement lifts his whip. They finish; stark and staunch the strife as ever yet was known, But past the post with dauntless stride THE RANGER holds his own. ORANGE BLOSSOM. THE ST LEGER. Whilst I, asleep, the other night Lay dreaming o'er my fate, A vision floated through my mind, Which I will here relate. I thought I was in Northern lands— On Doncaster's wild plain— Where many a thousand oft have met, And oft v/ ill meet again. Methinks I hear the saddling bell Resounding through the air, The horses to the post proceed, And take their places there. " They're off!" io now the joyous cry, And gazing far away I see the horses in a group Wending along their way. First, Donnybrook comes on in front, Blue Mantle by his side; But soon the pace begins to tell, They're passed at every stride. The Ranger then takes up the flead, And anxiously is scanned ; But, though he won on foreign turf, He'll do nought in this land. The beaten ones at last fall back, Whilst in advance we see Four horses; but, as one drops back, They dwindle down to three. Then Golden Pledge is seen ahead ( The gallant " Ebor " hero) ; But as Lord Clifden passes him His hopes go down te " zero." Queen Bertha also presses on, And takes the second place; One minute more, they're neck and neck ' Tis anybody's race. Each jockey flogs with all his might Till, when the Stand they've pass'd, LORD CLIFDEN gets his head in front, And wins the race at last. SOMNIOSUS. THE ST LEGER. Q uery— what will win the race? U nto all the name I'm telling— E ach that studies " form " and " pace,'' E ach that backs to " win " or " place," N ow may read and mind his spelling. B lue Mantle, Cheerful, Donnybrook, E ach I pass without a word— R anger will perhaps be second, T hough I place Avenger third, H undred tongues shall soon proclaim A lternate Scott's and Falmouth's name.

Since last year much has been done on the course to ^ hance the convenience and comfort of the spectators, amongs; which we may notice the erection of a new ladies' Stand, of aav elegant design and replete with every convenience for its fair oc- cupants. The course is in excellent order, and from the number of horses " under orders'' enumerated above, a great meeting is anticipated. The demand for accommodation and stabling is already quite equal to that of former anniversaries, and the open nature of the great event materally adds to the universal excitement annually created by the recurrence of the " Bellinger," Elsewhere will be found an elaborate analysis of the chances of the competitors for the " big'' race and for the other events of the meeting, most of which are fraught with more than ordinary interest. As usual, the Great Northern Railway Company have made excellent arrangements for the convej ance of the shoals of spectators from the metropolis and elsewhere to the scene of action. Day tickets will be issued from King's- cross and other stations on Monday and following days, and will be available to return on any day up to and including Saturday next. Special trains, by which these tickets will also be available, will leave Doncaster for London at 5: 15 p. m. on Friday, and 11 a. m. on Saturday. Cheap excursion trains will leave King's- cross on Wednesday morning ( the Leger day) at 6 a m., arriving at Doncaster at 11 a. m. The Midland Company will also issue day tickets on Monday from London and intervening stations, which will be available for re- turning any day up to and including Saturday. Full particulars as to fares, & c, will be found in our advertising columns. Horses marked * are in the Derby, t in the Oaks, X in the Leger. WARWICK EACES, Stewards : The Earl of Aylesford, the Earl of Stamford, and Lord Bateman. Judge: Mr J. F. Clark. Starter: Mr T. M'George. Clerk of the Course: Mr 8. Merry. Clerk of the Scales : Mr Dunn. About the same relation that the Bath meeting bears to " the Derby" the Warwick September meeting bears to the " St Leger.'' Both meetings, so to speak, shine, like the moon, with a borrowed light, and both are looked forward to more for the sake of the de- monstrations likely to take place on the " big races" ensuing than from any inherent merits of their own ; and short fields or large fields, good sport or bad sport, does not, therefore, affect the gather- ings in question so much as at other " places of sport." To speak plainly the racing is not the primary attraction with the many, who watch it chiefly as to how far it bears on the all important reunion which immediately succeeds it. On the present occasion, we need scarcely say, the meeting was anxiously looked forward to, for the state of the St Leger market at TattersalPs on Monday was, to say the least of it, a critical one, and many a one journeyed to Warwick by the 9: 80 train from Paddington more for the sake of watching the movements with regard to Lord Clifden and other " Bellinger'' horses in whom they were especially interested than for the sake of the passing sport of the two days. All things considered— for, as we have already had occasion to remark, the attractions elsewhere are unusually strong this season— the attendance at Warwick was very good, and despite the threatening aspect of the weather every now and then, it was, with the exception of a slight shower or so 011 the first day, very favourable. The sport itself was not of a nature to require very lengthened remarks, and the different events were for the most part contested by very moderate fields, although we may note in passing that the Leamington Stakes, which had been looked upon as a comparative failure, proved a much better affair than had been anticipated, for although the acceptances were not over flattering, it brought out three more runners than last year. Of the five entered for the Trial Stakes The Clown was reserved for the Castle Park Stakes, and General Hess, who was backed freely against the others, won a magnificent race by a neck from Golden Dust. In the Racing Stakes— reduced to a match— Vulture easily beat Acceptance, and was bought by Mr Reeves for 50 guineas; and these two matters disposed of, eleven numbers were next displayed on the board for the Leamington Stakes. And here we would slightly diverge for an instant to direct the attention of the committee to the imperfect way the names of the jockeys were displayed for the various events on the said telegraph board, several of them being merely written 011 paper, and consequently quite illegible at a little distance A fair and proper list of jockeys' names should be painted here as at other meetings of any pretension, for it is a matter of some con- sequence both to layers and backers. The recent form displayed by Magnum Bonum this season was sufficient warrant to instal him first favourite, and most of the money went OH at 4 to 1, although just before the flag fell a point more was generally obtainable; while Dunkeld, Aurelian, West End, and Flirtation were " much of a muchness" as to price in the market next to the favourite. After his usual display of fractiousness— which had, perhaps, something to do with his declining a point in the betting at last— Magnum Bonum eventually set his backers at rest, and won very cleverly by a neck from Flirtation, while Aurelian finished a length from the latter, the finish being thus not so very far at variance with the betting, except in the case of West End, who was sold after the race for 40 sovs. As several in- quiries were made as to the pedigree of Lord Warwick's four year old Taunus, who ran in ttie race, we may state that the animal in question is by Sweetmeat out of Gi ssip. Slight odds were laid on Salvioni for the Avon Stakes, and having nothing very formidable to beat in the other five young- sters opposed to her, she fulfilled her mission by winning by a neck from Queen Fastrada, and was afterwards sold to " Mr Chancellor'' for 200gs, and goes into C. Rayner's stable. Receiving a lot of weight from The Clown, King George ( penalised 71b each), and Union Jack— a successful performer in Ireland for the Railway Stakes at the Curragh last week, for which he carried 4lb penalty — the Phemy filly was in strong demand, having displayed some forward running on more than one occasion, and she pulled through by a clever half length from King George and Union Jack, who ran a dead heat for second. WliyMrlvens's Sir William was brought out to oppose Caller Ou for the Queen's Plate we cannot say, unless his owner felt anxious for an " outing'' in com- pany with a Leger winner, for of course he never made the mare gallop. Of the seven starters for the Shorts Handicap, Paddy O'Rourke— purchased privately at the York Meeting, and since disposed of to Mr W. Robertson— was a warmish favourite, but for the first time to- day the " selected one" was overthrown, and Zara, after a close contest, defeated the second favourite, Liston, by a head, Paddy being beaten a neck from the second. The betting on the 8t Leger was exciting enough, and at times somewhat difficult to " make out.'' At first 4 to 1 was offered on the field; then a point more was laid against The Ranger. Queen Bertha, after advancing to 5 to 1, returned to 100 to 15, and at last not more than 13 to 2 was forthcoming about Avenger. Golden Pledge remained steady at 9 to 1 ( taken and offered), as did Borealis at 100 to 6, while Blue Mantle was nominally at the last- named price. The " mystery of mystery,'' however, was Lord Clifden. At first 12 to 1 was laid against him, being an improvement by some points over his Tattersall's quotation of the previous even- ing; then 10 to 1 was taken, and the onward movement pressed him up to 8 to 1, taken once to £ 100. Gradually, however, he went away again, until at last 2,000 to 100 was offered against him! Donnybrook had friends at odds averaging about 30 to 1. The other investments will be found below. Bookmakers to- day had, it will be seen, a hot time of it, but affairs were des- tined to take a turn in their favour on the morrow. During Tuesday night and the early part of the following morning the rain came down heavily, rendering the course much heavier than on the preceding day, but the weather cleared up long before the time fixed for the commencement of the racing, or even the sale of blood stock—, which is given elsewhere. In consequence of the serious illness of his father, Mr T. M'George was summoned suddenly from Warwick, and the duties to- day were undertaken by Mr T. Marshall. After the running in the Castle Park Stakes yesterday it certainly looked a good thing for King George in the opening Sweepstakes, and at first 6 to 4 was laid on him, although at last 5 to 4 was bet- ted against him. Both he and The Clown, however, succumbed to the litile- fancied Cadiz, who won easily by a couple of lengths. The Welter Cup was another surprise, for if the previous race looked a good thing for King George, the race in question cer- tainly looked an equally good thing for Cheerful, on whom the odds of 9 to 4 were laid1 By an easy length, however, he was bowled over by Nebula" the least fancied of the trio, and not greatly to the regret, we should imagine, of Mr W. Bevill, who, although he rode Cheerful when she won the Claret Stakes at the Brighton Club, was to- day " shunted" in favour of Mr W. 8. Thompson. Mr Bevill thereon consented to ride Nebula with what success we have already stated. The recen victory achieved at Oxford of the colt by Stockwell out of Crotchet, led to his being installed first favourite for the County Handicap, but once more a surprise was in store, for nothing had the ghost of a chance with the light weight Barter, who went faster than anything from beginning to end, and won by three lengths from the favourite, who alone of the others persevered to the end, the case being utterly hopeless with them, with Aurelian more especially, for he was nearly knocked over in a " scrimmage" some distance from home. The effect of Barter's easy victory led to her being promoted to the top of the Great Yorkshire Handicap quotations. Usher brought off the odds he was entrusted with for the Members' Plate, and was bought in for 155 guineas, thereby bringing " a century" to the fund. Fairwater, Magnum Bonum, and Dr Syntax put in an appearance for the Cup, and although sundry reports were afloat as t » the mare being amiss, she was a much better favourite at last than" the Doctor." The pace was very bad for most of the way. and at last Dr Syntax, whose jockey could scarcely hold him at the out- set, defeated the mare by an easy three- quarters of a length ; and although the latter did not show signs of being so " dead amJ as report had credited her for, she certainly coughed after passing thepost. The " Cup," which thus fell to Mr W. Ashwortti's lot, is an equestrian figure of Oliver Cromwell; and the immediate ef- fect of his horse's victory was to reduce the St Leger offers against himto40 tol. TheNurserybroughout eleven competitors, Eleanor, who had twice before run unsuccessfully, being in most esteem. Again, however, the fielders were triumphant, and MrW. Robertson was compensated for his defeat of the previous day with Paddy O'Rourke by landing the Nursery to- day with Rizzio, with whom he pulled off a nice little stake, for the horse— hit herto a non- winner— started at 10 to 1. In the Grand Stand Plate calcula- tions were again upset, for the favourite, Miss Livingstone, was unplaced, while Quicksand, not backed for a shilling, beat Cala- bria by half a length. Before the race for the Welter Cup 1.000 to 10 was offered against Cheerful winning that race and the St Leger; after his defeat 1,000 to 4 was offered against him for the latter event, while, after the Cup race, as already stated, the highest offer against Di Syntax was 40 to I, and Mr Jackson offered to take 3,000 to 1,000 that he " beat anything first past the post," and two " monkeys" that Borealis did the same. The mystery attendant on Lord Clifden was not dispelled to- day. On Tuesday evening, at Lea- mington, Mr Jackson— who, it will be remembered, laid II, 000 to 1,000 against him at the Brighton Meeting— took 1,000 to 45 about him, and after that as much as 30 to 1 was offered! The " Northern Leviathan," we may also note, took 20 to 1 to £ 500 about Lord Glasgow's lot for the Derby. Soon after mustering in the Ring to- day, Lord Clifden was put up, and 20 to 1 was once laid against him, then he rose suddenly to 14 to 1, 12 to 1, and finally 10 to 1, at which price he remained, and it was affirmed that the horse really and truly was " doing good work!'' The Ranger was no firmer,' and for money Avenger was doubtless the best favourite, although 6 to 1, late in the afternoon, was offered on the field. Queen Bertha remained at her yesterday's figure, and Golden Pledge and Borealis were very steady. Donnybrook continued to be nibbled at, and some money went on Erin go Bragh at extreme outside prices. Thus, although nothing to speak of was actually " knocked out,'' there were sen ( h BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, SEPTEMBER 13, 1863. 5 sational movements enough, in all conscience, to sustain the cha- racter and maintain the prestige that the Warwick Meeting has hitherto enjoyed in connection with the Doncaster St Leger. TUESDAY, SEPT 8.— TheTsiAL STAKES of 5 sevs each, with 50 added, for two year olds and upwards; certain winners in 1862 extra; the winner to be sold for 600 sovs; if entered not to be sold 91b extra; one mile; 5 subs.

Cadiz cut out the work, with the favourite close[ up on his left, to just outside the distance, where Golden Dust, previously two or three lengths away, joined them on the whip hand and headed Cadiz at the Stand, opposite which the General, who in the last fifty yards had been nursed for a final effort, came again, and won a line race by a neck; the third beaten a head. London whipped round as the flag fell, and being quite out of the race walked home the contrary way.

The horses being at the post several minutes before time, the interval was consumed with a little capering, as usual, on the part of Magnum Bonum and the breaking away of one or two others. When at length despatched, Formidable showed in advance, with Taunus and The Principal at his side, succeeded in a body by Dunkeld, West End, Magnum Bonum, Twilight, and Amy, next to whom were The Prophet and Flirtation, with Aurelian biding his time in the rear. They breasted the ascent on the right in these positions, half way upwhich Taunus dropped away from the front, and West End ran into second place, Dunkeld on the retreat also of the Principal at the " house" turn becoming third, Magnum Bonum fourth, succeeded by Flirtation, Amy, and the top weight to the back of the hill. However, on re- appearing the immediate attendants of Formidable, yet in command, were Dunkeld and Aurelian to the T. Y. C. post, • where W § st End took his place between the last- named pair, fol- lowed by the favourite, Twilight, The Prophet, and Amy, the latter being now out of the race, like The Principal, and Lord Warwick's horse whipping in a long way last. With the excep- tion of this trio, the rest ran in a perfect cluster through the Star Ciose to the bend for the straight, whence the green and gold jacket gradually disappeared from the front, and Dun- keld took up the running, having Aurelian on his whip hand, and the favourite next the rails, Flirtation wide of them on the right. In this order they ran to within thedistance. whenAurelian headed Dunkeld, but dying away a few strides before reaching the en- closure, Flirtation was left in advance to the centre of the Stand, where Magnum Bonum jfiined him and won in the last two or three strides by a neck. A length off Aurelian was third, about as far in front of The Prophet who, disappointed a distance from home, passed Dunkeld ( fifth) in the concluding dozen yards. West End was sixth, Formidable seventh, Twilight eighth, Amy and The Principal next, Taunus walking in after a long interval.

The favourite took the lead, closely followed by Coimbra to the half distance, when the latter died away, after which Queen Fastrada came with a " wet sail," and though draw- ing upon Salvioni from the Stand never quite reached her, and was defeated cleverly by a neck. Two lengths divided second and third, Telscombe was a good fourth. The winner was sold to Mr Chancellor for 200 guineas.

With the Phemy filly slightly in advance they ran in a cluster for about fifty yards, when Lord Cochrane was first to give way, Bigotry and the Cynthia colt following suit soon after. Mr Merry's filly meanwhile increasing her advantage had a clear length the best of it at the straight, Union Jack and King George next, the result, an exciting finish, being that the last- mentioned pair ran a dead heat for second, without ever overhauling the favourite, who won cleverly by half a length. The Clown was fourth, a length off', the others net near, with General Shirley's filly last.

In a failure Liston, Fanny Seaton, and Wave were conspicuously for- ward, after which Paddy O'Rourke, Lord Uxbridge's colt, and Miss Livingstone ran in front to the straight, where the latter fell back, while Zara, next joining in front, deprived the favourite of the lead, retained it to the end, and won a fine race by a head; liston, who came with a rush at the Stand, beating Paddy for second by a neck; Wave was a bad fourth, Miss Livingstone fifth, Virginia next, and Fanny Beaton last.

Three or four failures preceded the start, Barter each time running out in front, and at last got away with a commanding lead. She was followed by Aurelian, General Hess, the Crochet colt, Paddy O'Rouike, and Ossian, the two last being The Principal and Fletton, both of whom got indifferently off. There was no alteration until round- ing the bend for the straight, where Aurelian was cannoned against and knocked nearly on to his head, the result of the scrimmage otherwise being that from the distance nothing seemed left to fight it out with the light- weight save the favourite, who, however, at the enclosure, swerved from the centre of the track to the left without ever getting within hail of Barter, who won in a canter by three lengths; The Principal, passing the stopping horses below the Stand, finished a very bad third, succeeded by Golden Dust, Paddy O'Rourke, and Ossian, together, Aurelian cantering in last.

Fairwater going to the fore soon after the flag fell, was followed through the Star Close by Dr Syntax, who closed with her before reaching the straight, but, overpower- ing his rider, ran out at the bend, and Magnum Bonum went on second. The Doctor, however, soon rejoined the mare, and took the lead directly after passing the Stand. At the mile post about three lengths divided the leader and the favourite, with Mr Flem- ing's horse as far from the latter, these intervals being in no way materially changed, until inside the distance Fairwater made her final effort, but was beaten easily by three quarters of a length; Magnum Bonum finishing a length and a half behind the second.

After a number of failures they got away in pretty middling order, the Jet colt making play clearly in command. His immediate followers were Farnhurst, Rizzio, Diploma, and Imposition, the favourite next well up with them to the bottom turn, round which the latter hung towards and brought his jockey's leg in contact with a post. When fairly in the straight Rizzio joined the leader, and the two at the distance came out and finished the race, Rizzio obtaining the best of it half way up, and winning by a length and a half. Farnhurst was a bad third, Black Friar fourth, Gazehound fifth, Lord Strathmore's filly, and the Sea Bov next, Diploma and the Mary Copp colt last. The rider of Gazehound, as if unconscious of the start, stood still with him at the post for several seconds after the signal was given, and then started off in hot pursuit.

The favourite took a clear lead soon after starting, Coronet and Quicksand being her immediate followers to the turn into the straight, where she dropped behind Coronet, and was joined by Quicksand, Margery, and Calabria. Nearing the distance Coronet was beaten and Quicksand took the lead, attended by Calabria, a good race ending in the defeat of the last- named by half a length, Margery being two lengths behind the second. The favourite was a moderate fourth, Kennett fifth, Vulture sixth, and Coronet last. LATEST BETTING ON THE COURSE.

LEICESTER RACES- Stewards : Earl of Coventry, Marquis of Hastings, and Captain Christie. Judge: Mr Clark. Clerk of the Course and Starter : Mr T. Marshall. On the eve, as it were, of perhaps the most brain- puzzling Leger ever submitted for dissection, bookmakers, mustering so nume- rously at Warwick in the early part of the week, were bound to look in at Leicester. Backers, too, fidgetty and at fever- pitch over hourly changes and shifting odds, rushed to the midland town for latest news anent the impending great equine battle, as well as to scent a " good thing" or two in the great southern handicaps, fresh from the hands of the manufacturer. Hence one of the largest attendances ever seen on this course, be- sides being most fortunate for a very deserving committee of management, whose receipt, as it was, must have suffered to some extent by the erroneous information appearing in the metropoli- tan and Manchester papers that there would be only four races on Thursday. The sport, however, was not of the liveliest kind, and scarcely needs introductory remark. That old- standing dish, the Belvoir Stakes, as usual opened the ball, with a sweetener for those fond of Real Jam. A much better field than was ex- pected showed for the principal handicap, though five of the seven runners were clean out of the race towards the finish, and Tourist, making most of the running, won easily. To this succeeded the Skeffington Park Stakes, which were also carried to the same Cliff stable by the aid of Light, apparently all the better for her recent Channel voyage. The only other noticeable feature was a match between a couple of hunters, made on Friday last, but not communicated to the authorities in time for insertion on the card. It resulted amid considerable cheering in favour of the Marquis of Hastings's horse, whose pilot carried something approaching two stone dead weight, both, it will be seen, meeting again on the morrow for a second " rubber," with precisely the same result. The course, at the commencement in capital order, became perfectly deluged at the close by a storm of some duration and scattered the holiday folks in all directions. The dulness prevailing during the afternoon was occasionally en- livened by the receipt of a telegraphic message concerning the St Leger. Queen Bertha appeared extremely firm, a well known speculator exhibiting great industry to get on, but failed to obtain more than 6 to 1, at which price he invested £ 200, and would have gone on had the layer been in the humour. Avenger was inquired after, and part of a commission executed at 13 to 2; and Blue Mantle was supported at 100 to 6. Towards the close of the racing Lord Clifden, the Marionette of the day, was again in request. All sorts of prices were named and all sorts of rumours were rife, but on the receipt of a message from a well- known bookmaker in London to back him for £ 500, he immediately became stationary at 100 to 12. The Ranger was not mentioned, but from the anxiety to lay evinced by most of those having books on the race, he did not appear in such good odour as at Warwick. Golden Pledge was quietly backed for money at 100 to 12, the representative of his owner, who was pre- sent, exhibiting great willingness to proceed, but the demon- stration appeared too strong for the layers, who politely declined. There is little room for comment on the sport brought off oil the second day. The St Leger betting was comparatively of a quiet character, but later in the afternoon a telegram was received which set the industrious bees in motion, and offers were made to take 20 to 1 that Lord Clifden would positively start first favourite. Queen Bertha and Avenger were in request at their closing prices, 6 to 1 being accepted about each; finally, however, a point less was taken about Avenger. Nothing else was mentioned.

Little Dick cantered in front for a mile, when Real Jam went to the fore, but was pulled back at the commencement of the second round. Jacob, improving the pace, thence went on with a commanding lead to the descent for the bottom the last time, where he ran on the wrong side of a post and Rogers stopped him. Thefavourite thus again left in advance was challenged at the distance by Lady Bird, who, however, never got up, and was defeated in a canter by six lengths ; twice as far dividing second and third.

FRIDAY, SEPT 4.— These sports were resumed in the presence of thousands of spectators, the race course presenting a very gay appearance. The weather was rather threatening in the morning, but it held up until the latter part of the day, when a heavy shower of rain fell, which had the effect not only of giving the people a " soaker," but also delaying the sports for a short time. The racing was excellent, the steeple chasing being particularly good. One or two horses came to grief during the day, but no severe injuries resulted therefrom.

Clerk of the Course: Mr Bryant. MONDAY, SEPT 7.— These old established races, although of minor importance, continue to attract a very large attendance. The extra attraction of the fair, and the Great Northern Railway Company continuing to run special trains to and from London, caused thousands of the pleasure seekers of the metropolis to spend their usual Monday holiday at Barnet. The number of cattle, of which it is estimated upwards of 20,000 head had been sold at this year's fair, with the previous wet weather, made the course, which is in the fair field, a quagmire, causing the sport not to come up to that of former years, neither the King of Prussia nor Barnet Stakes producing a race. For the Barnet Hurdle Race six weighed, but it turned out a very hollow affair, Princess ( late Holdersyke) winning both heats with ease. Subjoined are brief details :— The NEW BABNET HUEDLE RACE of 2 sovs each, with 15 added; heats, three times round and a distance, six leaps in each heat.

FRIDAY, SEPT 4.— The sports of the second day were wit- nessed by nearly fourfold the number of spectators that turned out on Thursday, and all seemed thoroughly to enjoy the day's proceedings. The first event proved a mere repetition of the pre- vious day, Betsy Copeland beating the Fandango filly in a walk. The Ayrshire Handicap winner turned up in The Slave, not backed for a shilling, and whose owner was actually pressed into the service to make up the requisite four to secure the added " century." The Selling Sweepstakes— which, by the way, never had more than two subs, and, according to racing rule, could not be a race— was won by Bloomsbury, the guid folks of Ayr kindly giving the added score for the two to start. The Ailsa Plate, Scurry, and Hunt Handicaps admit of no remark, the two first named being foregone conclusions, and the latter a turn up for the plucky Capt Campbell. The Hurdle Race was won by Little Nell, who outpaced at the finish the hitherto- unconquered old " Poet" at this meeting. A SWEEPSTAKES of 3 sovs each, 1 ft, with 20 added by the Glas' gow and South Western Railway Company, for two year olds and upwards; penalties and allowances; one mile; o subs, Mr Wilkins's b m Betsy Uopeland, by Vulcan or Au- nandale, 3 yrs, 8st 1 lb Marson 1 Mr Pringle's b f by Fandango out of Gathercole's dam, 3 yrs, Sst lib Noble 2 Betting: 3 to 1 on Betsy Copeland, who won in the commonest of canters.

The Slave made the run- ning, Bohemian and the King lying well up. Little change oc- curred until entering the straight, when the pace began to tell upon his Majesty, and Bohemian then led by about half a length, but The Slave answering to Metcalf s final call, won, after a beau tiful struggle, by a head ; an indifferent third. The EGLINTON HUNT CUP, value 30gs, given by the Earl of Eglinton and Winton, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, 2 ft, for horses that have been regularly and fairly hunted with Lord Eglinton's foxhounds or with the Ayrshire Harriers during the season 1862- 63, or horses qualified for Lord Ailsa's Plate; 12st 71b each; gentlemen riders ; two miles; 9 subs.

SALE OF THE ENTIRE STUD OF THE LATE SIR TATT0N SYKES, BART, The great sale of the thorough bred blood stock, < Sc, the pro » perty of the late Sir Tatton Sykes, Bart, commenced on Thursday, Sept 10, at Sledmere, in Yorkshire. Never has any sale caused so much interest among noblemen, gentlemen, farmers, and breeders, not only of horses, but of all kinds of farming stock generally. The weather was delightfully fine throughout the first day, and the attendance remarkably large, there being quite two thousand persons present, amongst whom we noticed:— Duke of St Albansi Lord Canterbury, Sir G. O. Wombwell, Bart ; Hon G. W. Fitz, William, C. Vyner, Esq; Sir W. W. Wynn, Hon C. Calthorpe- Hon Col Forester, C. Craven, Esq; Col Duncombe, HonC. W. W, Fitzwilliam, M. P.; J. Hall, Esq; Admiral Duncombe, Sir H. Boynton, Bart; Capt Barlow, Sir G. Strickland, Bart; &. Brown. Esq; F. L. Popham, Esq; Hon S. Hawke, Sir M. Wallace, Bart, Baron Kotze, Gen Sporchen, Gen Brudesman, Count Rinard; Count Lehndorf, Capt Schluter, Gen Brudentioff', Col De Butts, Col Cotton, Col Cavaliero, Capt Worsley, Mr H. F. Beaumont, Messrs Pedley, Reynard, Fobert, John Osborne, W. 1' Anson, C. Peck, & e. France, Austria, and Prussia were well repre- sented, Col De Butts buying largely for the Austrian Govern- ment, and Col Cavaliero lor the great stud forming in Hungary- These gentlemen, with Mr Churnside, bought the greatestnumber. of brood mares and foals, and they decidedly secured the majority of the best- looking ones. The whole of the mares were in parti- cularly fine condition, even the very old ones looking big and well up in flesh. The foals have had the influenza amongst them a short time since, and several of them, consequently, looked badly. The first day's sale, however, may be termed most satis- factory, fair average prices being obtained ; indeed the majority fetched much better prices than was anticipated by competent judges. The stallions, however, went cheap, Colsterdale, who looked in blooming condition and well up to his work, being sold to John Osborne for 300gs, having cost Sir Tatton £ 1,000 ; and Fandango, who cost him £ 3,000, was sold for 500gs to go to Hungary. The latter looked remarkably healthy, and was full of life when led round the ring, showing extraordinary bone and substance. A further return of the sale, together with an ample account of the various lots, will appear next week. BROOD MARES AND FOALS. OS.

Prior to the commencement of the racing on Wednesday Messrs- Bretherton and Harrison, of Birmingham, offered for competition several lots of blood stock, comprising yearlings, & c— from va- rious quarters— and four brood mares. The sale commenced at twelve o'clock with Mr Barnes Austin's " property," consisting of four lots of Cavendish's get. The colt out of the Greek Slave, 2 yrs, was bought in for 90gs, as was the filly eut of Fanny Booth, 2 yrs, for 48gs. The two yearlings were purchased by Mr Page for 50gs each. The next samples were anything but tempting to buyers, and, of the lot of f ® ur. Wax, 3 yrs, by Hobbie Noble out of Honey Dear, did not provoke a bid ; wbile the yearling eolt, by Stolzenfels out of Chaperon, was knocked down to Mr Stevens for lOgs. The colt by the latter sire out of Foible shared the fate of " Wax," and the two year old tilly by Robert out of Little Dor- ritt was disposed of for 6gs. Three of Mr J. Astley's stud were next put up, and Arbury, the well- known steeple chaser, was purchased by Mr Oldaker for 600gs. Overstone, however, was bought in for 98gs, and the yearling filly by Mountain Deer out of Rosa for 50gs. Attention was next directed to three of Mr T. Cook's yearlings, of whom Harkaway, by King Tom out of Star of the Yale, was bought in for 240gs, and Eugenie, by King Tom out of The Princess, for 270gs. The other filly, by North Lincoln out of Amy Robsart, was allowed to go to John Nightingall's bid for 19gs. Mr J. Denehfield's two yearlings were next brought up; the first, by King Tom dam by Orlando, remaining unsold at 140gs, while the other, by King Tom dam by Brocket, was good looking enough to tempt Mr Peek to bid 200gs, at which price she became his property. Then came the Oldbury lots, consisting of seven yearlings by the Great Unknown, and four brood mares. The yearlings were for the most part a very promising looking lot, of which " the pick" were knocked down to Mr R. Drewitt. Mainsail, a chesnut filly out of Topsail, and Barbarossa, a chesnut colt out of Lady Hercules, were purchased by him for 250gs each, and En- chantress, a bay filly out of Cecilia, and Oldbury, a chesnut colt out of Mabel Lindon, for 200gs each. Of the others Merevale, a useful looking filly, was purchased by Mr Peace for lOOgs, and Anonyma out of Grand Mistress, by Mr Pearson for 50gs. The brood mares were not sold. Altogether the sale was a success, and Messrs Bretherton and Harrison purpose making it an annual one.

Tramore 24 THE GLOUCESTER MEETING.— Matters had recently taken a very unpromising turn in connection with this meeting, which led to the resignation of Mr W. Stephens, the honorary secretary. We are, however, glad to say that there is now every likelihood of the meeting coming off successfully at the time fixed upon. The following have arrived at Wm. Wetherell's stables, Upper Lambourne:— Scimitar, grey Arab horse, 7 yrs, winner of the Calcutta Derby, 1860, and several other races; brown colt by Gemma di Vergyout of Duchess, by Mountain Deer out of Duchess de Guiche, 3 yrs ( never ran). Gaspard, aged, has been running recently at Moscow, where he won one event and was placed second for two others. The French colt Gaulois, 3 yrs, also won a race at the same meeting, for three year olds, and another for horses bred and trained on the Conti- nent. Gaspard has since been beaten at St Petersburg. CAKKINGHAX RACES.— This little Lincolnshire Meeting took place last week near Gainsborough. A cup was to have been run for, but as only two horses out of seven entered put in an ap- pearance the event fell through. A pony race was won by Mr Woodhouse's Willie, beating three others; and a double- reined bridle race by a horse entered by Mr Bingham, beating two others. The cup is to be run for in a fortnight. FATAL ACCIDENT TO THE TWO YEAE OLD HEBEB.— On Sa- turday evening, Sept 5, while this horse, the property of Mr Bray- ley, was on its way from the Weymouth Races to Marlborough, it met with its death under the following circumstances:— When within two miles of the lattsr place the saddle slipped round, which so alarmed the colt that he immediately commenced kicking. The jockey, Cannon, fortunately extricated himself from the stirrups without receiving any injury, but the horse dashed away at a fearful pace, and at last struck his head against the corner of a house in Silverless- street, with such force as to literally knock out his brains, and fell dead upon the apoS. 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, SEPTEMBER 13, 1863. RACING ON THE CONTINENT. BADEN- BADEN RACES. ( FROM OUB OWN CORBESPOKDENT.) Stewards: Baron de Briedbach, Baron de Maltzahn, Baron de Geusau, J. M. L. Mackenzie- Grieves, Esq; Viscount Talon, and M. J. Reiset. If it were necessary to prove that the Turf, as an institution, is almost indispensable in a great country, from the many benefits that can be derived from it, when taken in a point of view that does not merely place it in the character of an amuse, ment that is national and congenial to the taste of nearly all classes of society, but that it is an institution that tends to benefit a state in many very material ways, we could not have a better point, to our argument than in showing how the great rulers of the several countries in Europe have, during recent years, encouraged and increased the interest of racing. In England, it is true that it is not considered a matter of such commercial import as to invest it with much consideration from the G- overnment, although there is a very late instance of the rulers of our land turning a jealous eye towards this department in the matter of feather weights, & c, and which timely interference induced an improvement. In Prance, however, a Haras question is as fre- quently before the house as any other, and the way in which mil- lions of francs are lavished on the Turf merely for prizes by that wise Government shows that there is a good deal of intent and purpose connected with this policy of increasing a national in- terest in the Turf. In Italy we see that Victor Emmanuel is making most strenuous attempts to promote amongst his subjects a partiality for the sport, and on taking into consideration what we have seen of his horses during the meeting before us, we see no reason why Italy should not produce a racehorse as well as England or Prance. But, singularly enough, the country that has at different times produced better horses, and might be consi- dered more adapted than any other on account of its soil and climate for the production of the equine race, is now just as far behind, and even more so, when compared with Prance, than it was thirty years ago. Not that German racing does not receive Government support. On the contrary, there is hardly any country that receives so much encouragement of this description; but it is a kind of support that is rendered without much organi- sation, there is no system such as there has been in France of keeping the support within the limits of the country itself, as for instance, in Prance no Government stake can be run for excepting by horses bred in the country, whereas in Germany they are all thrown open to any horses, and as a rule it is found more profit- able to buy second- class horses in England than to take all the chances of breeding them. Besides this, the Haras of the diffe- rent states are very differently managed from what they are in France, and we should imagine that the system now pursued is the means of wasting a vast amount of valuable blood, for in Hanover, for instance, the king has several thorough bred stallions, including Gladstone, Saunterer, Epaminondas, Wardermarsk, Capt Cornish, Pireblast, & c, and that, these travel over his dominions, having their services fixed at a ratio of about £ 310s per mare, which system has been shown to have the most in- jurious effect, even in our own country, when carried on by private enterprise, for the classes that it serves at first sight, are j ust those who value a thing according to the price it has cost them, and, as a rule, take care of it proportionally. We hear, however, that during the past year this state of affairs has been occupying the attention © f many of the princes of the states, and that, before long German racing will be thoroughly reorganised and placed on quite another footing. As a proof of its infancy, we may mention that up to within about six months ago there did not even exist a sporting paper in the country, but lately several sportsmen have got. one up, viz, Der Sporn, which has alreadj' begun to get quite a Bell's Life circulation; and being under the editorship of a gentleman who has derived a vast amount of experience in Eng- land there is no doubt that it will do a great deal of good in ventilating the subject of which we have just, been speaking, and so the little weekly pamphlet called Die Blatter uber Pferde und Jagd ( or " Leaves on Horses and Hunting") that has hitherto comprised all the sporting literature of Germany must now be placed on the shelf to serve in future years as a proof of the infancy of the German Turf prior to the year 1863. We must apologise for the length of the above remarks, which may be considered foreign to our real subject— Baden- Baden Races— but the truth is, this meeting more than any other we know of brings with it reflections on the conditions of the several Turfs of Europe from its peculiarly international charac- ter ; for on the beautiful crmrse at Iffezheim, Greek meets Greek on neutral ground, and as the meeting increases in importance the beneficial effects of Germany, England, Prance, and Italy meeting on this Olympia for friendly and international compe- tition will become more and more apparent. Theracingon the first day certainly greatly surprised us, for well knowing thatgreatnum- bers of the French division have recently been placed hors de combat by the hot summer and hard ground, we had no idea that the fields would be so extensive or the sport so good. The colours of the Confederacy were exceedingly fortunate, for they scored four events out of the five, although this fifth item ( the Conti- nental 8t Leger) was worth all the others, and for this their favourite, Hospodar, cut up very badly; and the winner turned up in an outsider, Conquet. te, who has run on several occa- sions very indifferently in Prance this season, being one of the good things for the French Oaks, when La Taucques came upon them by surprise, and spread- eagled the lot. She seems, however, to have been gradually improving on her form, for a fortnight or three weeks ago she beat Alerte at Le Mans, at 201b, over a couple of miles, and for this Count de Lagrange greatly feared her. Count Henckel occupied the unenviable position of second with Giles the Pirst, as he did last year in the same event with Arthur, and we hope that for another anniversary the count will advance this situation one step further, for, in Count Henckel as a patron, the interest of the German Turf ver3> materially depends, as there is no gentleman in the country that breeds so largely. On glancing through the German Stud Book now before us we perceive that his stud contains some of the best blood that can possibly be found; amongst others we find Herculeania, by Sir Hercules out of Emiliana, by Emilius and Pleece, own sister to Alarm, by Venison out of Southdown, by Defence, besides Miss Castling, by Inheritor out of Tiffany, by Jerry, and Pickpocket, by Plenipotentiary out. of Deception. The count has in all about forty brood mares" at Wolfsburg, in Galieia, and five stallions, old Sheet Anchor being the special favourite of the count's, and he told us that the veteran was now quite fresh and well, although thirty- four years old ; his stock has been the most successful of any horse's in Germany, and a colt, the most promising two year old that Count Henckel has, is by him. We regret to have to mention that there was a circumstance connected with the first day's sport that was » ot in accordance exactly with the tone of the rneetiritr, that is. indeed, aristocratic to the very highest degree— for the art of roping is certainly not a fashionable accomplishment, or, at least, it ought not to be, and so thought the stewards, for a palpable case coming before them in the Prix de la Foret Noire, in which W. Pantal, on Volta, was the performer in ques- tion, they suspended him from riding for two months. Thursday and Friday were bye days, and several sportsmen betook them- selves to shooting and fishing, whilst many more bound them- selves as excursionists in the beautiful forest of Baden; but this is a theme that we must not touch upon, or we shall be getting too poetical for our subject, so we will pass on at once to Saturday's racing, which commenced^ with a Selling Race, and this Hadji Stavros succeeded in earn ing off very easily, and subsequently he found a pair of confederate owners in Mr Angell and C > 1 Astley for 2,000f, exactly the sum Mr Wilson gave for him at the Confe- deracy's sale last year. Six only came together for the Poule de Produits, and Conqnette was now supported freely by her party, which confidence she proves! herself worthy of by winning easily. It will not. however, surprise us much to see Dollar reverse the result: some day, for we know M Lupin's horse was a little s'- iort of work, having been turned out for some time after Fontainebleau races. The third race produced quite the suprise of the meeting, for although only worth 100 sovs, Stradella was brought out for it, and having only three moderate ones to dis- pose of it did look a certainty on paper; but, after a fine race, who should beat her but M Nardonie, the representative of Victor Emmanuel. However, as she gave the young one 34lb, and it being remembered that he ran tolerably well to a certain point in the Grand Prix at Paris, she maintained her price tor the great race, and was even backed more freely. There was not much quality brought out for the Two Year Old Stakes, Soumise, who was purchased some few months since by the Confederacy of the Duke de Pit, z- James, being the best looking by far of the lot, though she is on a small scale. The race, however, was never in doubt, for she won all the way in a walk. Seven came out fcr the Handicap, for which the Confederacy were in great force with Benjamin and La Reine Berthe. but they got bowled over very easily by the Irish mare, Orphan Girl," who once beat. Bellman at the Curragh. She now, however, belongs to a French gentleman who resides in Germany, and is trained by Maccall, at Hamburg, being always ridden in her engagements by Long, and he handled her in this race very well. The day's sport concluded with the Prix des Dames, which was won easily by Gentilhomme, and he subsequently found a new owner in the Duke de Moray. There was a small assembly on Sunday night at the conversazione., but the betting was of a very limited cha- racter, and for the Grand Prix at midnight we could just manage to make out the following list from the quotations we heard :— 7 to 4 on LaTeucques I J2 to 1 Mon Etoile 7 to 2 ag3t Stradel1 a 20 to L agst Charles Martel 6 to 1 M Nardonie | 15 to 1 The Orphan Girl ( tic Rather threatening weather gave signs of an unpleasant day on Monday, but it fortunately held up throughout the day, and a brilliant company, as usual, occupied the Stand and enclosure. The betting for the opening race between Gentilhomme and Sou- mise, now in different interests, was rather heavy; but the young one did the trick much easier than was anticipated even by her own party, and a second victory was scored to the Confederacy's interest in the Prix d'Erbeistein by the aid of Villa Franca. The Grand Prix was now the event, on the card, and we have never known any race on the Continent produce greaer interest for the moment. La Toucques always maintained her pride of place in the betting, and when A. Briggs took her quarter- piece off her condition was universally admired. We found her much improved since we saw her at Paris; and although she can never be handsome, her great power and magnificent points make her appear a perfect castle of strength and substance. Although she was such a favourite, there were practical judges took odds on the field against her. because it is notorious at Baden that horses coming there straight from England seldom then run up to their form, and others who knew less about it, would not stand her, because it got reported that, she whistled in her gallops in the morning. Stradella was very firm, and 3 to 1 was taken about her after she cantered down, whilst M Nardonie was mentioned frequently, and Orphan Girl was supported freely by the German division, but principally for a place, for which she was to be ridden. The race is described below, and it will be seen that from start to finish it was never in doubt for La Toucques, whilst the top weights Stradella and Mon Etoile, were never in the race. The running however was very correct so far as the three year olds are con- cerned, for it must be re nembered that Dollar ran second to La Toucques in the French Derby, and the week following Dollar beat Charles Martel in the Prix de La Soci6t6 at Versailles, first cleverly at 51b, and now he does it not quite so easily at six. The principal winner over the race is Mr Rothschild, son of the Baron, who nets about £ 2,000. The next event for La Toucques, is the Emperor's prize at Chanfilly, and then the Prix Imperial of 10,000f for three year olds, over two miles at Paris, which, if she wins, will prevent, her running again in many stakes in Prance, although there is the Prix de l'Imperatrice of 15, OOOf next Spring, and the Grand Prix Imperial of 20,000f in the autumn that she can run for next year. The King of Holland most generously gave the meeting an object of art in the shape of a silver ink- stand, which Hadji Stavros won for his new owner, Mr Angell, easily enough. Then a fine race ensued between Volta and Grande Puissance, for the Consolation, and the meeting terminated, as usual, with the Handicap Hurdle Race, which was won very easily by Beau S^ jour. Our report would be incomplete without mentioning by whom the meeting was patronised, and the first, important personage that was pointed out to us was the King of Holland, who was walk- ing about on che first day's racing with Viscount Paul Daru, with whom His Majesty conversed in the most friendly terms during the greater partof the " afternoon. It will be seen abovethattheKing most generously gave a prize to the meeting in token of the satisfaction the sport afforded him. On the second day the meeting was honoured by the presence of Her Majesty the Queen of Prussia and his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Baden; and amongst the fashionable attendance on each day we may mention the names of Prince Murat, Prince de Purstemburg, Prince du Croy, Baron Maltzan, Counts West- Phalen, Lehn- dorf, Henckel, Waldstein, Blucher, and Baron Spafgotsch, whilst from England and Prance we noticed the Duke and Duchess of Grafton, Lord Granville, Duke and Duchess of St Arpino, Duke de FitzTames, Duke de Gramont, Duke de Rich- lieu, Viscount Daru, Viscount de 8t Saveur, M Lupin, M Shick- ler, M Delamarre, Mr M'Kenzie Grieves, Mr Blount, Mr H. Cartier, M Reiset, Col Astley, Col Gipps, Col Tyrwhitt, Col Martyne, Capt Poulette, MrAngell, Mr Marsh, Mr Doherty, Mr Cooper, & c. Before concluding we must also pay our tribute of praise to all the business arrangements of the meeting, which have been admirable; and personally thanking Mr Wyeh, the worthy secretary, for his great courtesy and assistance, we most heartily congratulate him on the great success that has attended the now international meeting of Baden- Baden.

Banniere made steady running, followed by La Reine Berthe, Glaucus, and Volta in the order named, with Blanchette whipping in four or five lengths in the rear. Between the two first turns Glaucus fell back, but Banniere maintained a clear lead to the distance, when she was beaten, and the two from the Confederacy's stable had got it all to themselves, the favourite being allowed to win in preference to Volta by about half a length ; a length separating Banniere from the second.

Grand Puissance jumped off with the lead, waited upon by the favourite, with Leonidas lying third, Audacieuse fourth, followed by the Confederacy's pair; the German colt whipping in. This order of running was main- tained until reaching the bottom turn at the end of the straight on the far side, when Villafranca and Benjamin drew up, and Mons Schickler's mare being in difficulties at the distance, the two stable companions then came away by themselves, the young one eventually winning, on sufferance, by nearly a length, Auda- cieuse finishing third, about two lengths off, and close behind her came Grande Puissance, followed at an interval of several lengths by the favourite.

They all got off' at the first attempt to a very good start, Ben- venut. o at. once going to the front, with Hospodar lying second, Charles Martel third, followed by Flibustier and M Nardonie, and then in a group came Marjolet, Goliath, Fleur de Mai, and Conquette, the three in the extreme rear being Giles the First, Damier, and Demon in the order named. There was little change in positions until they were exactly opposite the Stand on the far side, when Fleur de Mai went up through her horses and took third place, and the next that was seen improving his position was Giles the Pirst, who gradual ly crept up as they ran to the end of the straight, and was lying well with his horses between the two turns. The Italian colt, however, maintained his lead round the bend for home, at which point the favourite, who was still lying second, looked very formidable, but he died away in the next few strides, as also did the Italian and Fleur de Mai, which left the race entirely to Charles Martel, Fli- bustier, Giles the First, and Conquette. The result appeared doubtful to the distance, when Conquette got her head in front, and gaining ground at every stride in the last hundredyards, won easily at last by a length, a head only separating the se- cond from the third ; Charles Martel was fourth, beaten two lengths from Flibustier, and at a long interval M Nardonie came in fifth, followed by his stable companion and Fleur de Mai; Mar- jolet was eighth, and then came the favourite, the last all the way being Demon. The pace was very bad throughout. PRIX DE RASTATT of l, 500f, for three year olds and upwards of all countries; entrance 50f; weight for age; the winner to be claimed for 6.

Hadji Stavros, Grande Puissance, and Distinguo went away together in front, the black filly taking a clear lead as soon as they had rounded the first turn, being then waited upon by Distinguo and Chamboran, with Hadji Stavros lying fourth, Leonidas fifth. Muse sixth, and Faculty and Rigolo in the rear. Chamboran headed Grande Puissance on the far side opposite the stands, and led at a great pace to the turn, where he was beaten, andjLeonidas drew| in front, until coming into the straight, when he gave way, leaving Muse and Hadji St. avros at the head of affairs, and the latter coming clear away by himself at the distance, cantered home the easiest of winners by two lengths ; Leonidas finishing a bad third ; Grande Puissance fourth, Chamboran fifth, Faculty sixth, Dis- tinguo seventh, and Rigolo, who fell between the last two turns, cantered in loose. The winner was claimed by Col Astley and Mr Angell for 2, OOOf.

Hospodar made the running, waited upon by Dollar, with Conquette lying third, Flibustier fourth, Charles Martel next, and Scamandre brought up the rear. This order of running was maintained until nearly reaching the far end of the straight on the opposite side, when Charles Martel drew right up to the leader, with whom he came round the turn into the straight, where they were both disposed of, as was also Flibustier, and the race was thus seemingly reduced to a match between Conquette and Dollar, but the latter tiring in the run home, was soon held safe by Conquette, who came away as easily as she did in the St Leger, and won by about a length and a half. 8camandre, with whom Francis had been creeping up to the front very gradually, coming with a rush at last, gained the judge's fiat for second honours by a head, though it was plainly apparent to every one that Dollar finished a clear neck in front of him, Charles Martel was a very bad fourth, followed by the Confederacy's two coming in together last. Net value of the stakes 12,100f.

Stradella waited in the rear to the last turn, when she drew up, but never being quite able to reach the Italian colt, was defeated at last by a head; Pergola finishing a very bad third.

Goodbye jumped off with the running, with Benjamin lying second, Orphan Girl third, Goliath fourth, then La Reine Berthe and Benvenuto, while Audacieuse brought up the rear. There was but little change in these positions during the first round, in which Goodbye kept gradually increasing his lead, but on passing the Stands he gave way, and at the top turn Orphan Girl went up to him, and coming into the straight running on the other side headed him, Benjamin at the same time sticking close to the mare, and once he drew up to her head. He dropped back again immediately, however, and at the bottom turn he was beaten, and the two light weights then improved their positions, but they never had a chance with the Girl, who came up the straight full of running, and won in a canter by four lengths; a similar interval separating the second from the third ; Benjamin was a bad fourth ; Goliath next, followed by Goodbye; Audacieuse was last.

The twelve starters were all out of the inelosure by the appointed time, three o'clock, but owing to the anxiety of several to get off in good places there was a delay of nearly half an hour before the magic word " off" broke the silence that had prevailed for some minutes amongst the occu- pants of the Stands in the intense interest that existed concerning the race, and then in ari instant the competitors were in view, streamingup the course, and headed by Hospodar, with Blanchette at his quarters on the outside, and Dollar third, next the rails, followed by La Toucques, with the Orphan Girl lying fifth, and then in Indian file came Charles Martel, Stradella, M Nardonie, and Mon Ecoile, followed by Flibustier and Benvenuto, Sou- venir whipping in several lengths in the rear. The pace was very moderate as they passed the Stands, but between the two first turns Plibustier went up through his horses, and, taking his stable companion's place, forced the running at his best pace all the way down the straight on the far side until reaching the turn, when he began to give way, and in a few strides further the Orphan Girl went to the front with such an easy effort as to eall forth loud exclamations from the German division that shewas winning. Thefriendsof La Toucques, however, were equally content with their state of affairs, for she was going perfectly within herself, and in exactly the same position as she started, whilst Stradella's chance looked very dif- ferent, for the eye almost wandered in vain to find her anywhere in the race. When the lot had fairly got into the straight, Dollar took a slight lead of the Orphan Girl, and Mons Schickler's colours now began to be conspicuous, as Charles Martel drew up just in the rear of La Toucques, with whom Doyle waited most patiently until within about a distance and a half from home, when he shot her to the front with one effort, and brought her through, the easiest of winners, by two lengths. Charles " Martel came up at the finish with a tremendous rush, and was only just beaten a head by Dollar for second money, the Orphan Girl finishing a neck behind Mons Schickler's horse; Benvenuto— who was started to act as pilot for M Nardonie, but getting a bad start, he could never quite get throngh his horses— was fifth, whilst, the quondam cracks, Stradella and Mon Etoile, finished together sixth and seventh, and the last in the race all the way was the ex- Derby winner, Souvenir.

We have no apology to offer to the readers of JBelPs Life for making Baden- Baden the subject of an article. If this lately established race meeting he not the largest, it is at all events one of the pleasantest, and, we may add, one of the most important on the Continent. Till within the last year or two few persons connected the Black Forest and its capital with the sports of the field, unless an occasional slaughter of chevreuil by the grand ducal party could be distinguished by that title. The invalid and the traveller regarded those beautiful environs as a cure for infirmities, or a succession of London and Parisian gaieties, with the additional excitement of losing his florins or Napoleons with a kind of legality and decorum not extended to that species of gambling in our own country. Whether respectability is only intended for domestic use, like the civilised hat and coat wh^ ch adorns the person on this side of the Channel, or whether it is to be thrown aside when we adopt the various and variegated costume which obtains among us on quitting our native shores, we leave to philosophers te settle. We certainly pity Mr Poole, or any man with a sense of the decorous in the adornment of the person, when he first sets eyes on the chequered varieties of English, French, Russian, or German toilette which has dazzled and bewildered us for the last fortnight. We reserve for the Magazin des Dames, or some other equally fortunate review, any description of this part of the entertainment. A pen dipped in every coloured ink in the world would fail to convey half its ex- travagancies, and we doubt whether the most vivid imagination could recognise the sober citizen of our own capital under the parti- coloured disguise which he chooses here to assume. We mention it only en passant as a tribute due to the infinite amuse- ment afforded us in our hours of recreation. We were not sent out by the Magazin des Modes to furnish an accurate description of the trowsers of Strephoa or the chapeau of Phyllis, and we shall therefore spare ourselves and our readers, with the assumption that matter more important requires our attention. In the autumn of the year 1858 the first attempt was made to reduce to a regular system the race meeting of Baden- Baden. It contained, amongst other elements, some which were not then so familiar to us as they have lately become by the occasional articles which have appeared at the hands of some few of our English sporting correspondents. There was, and indeed is, in this meeting a refinement of externals, and a certain absence of what we consider essentials, even now only partially known to our racing men. But circumstances have now rendered the transit from London to Baden so easy and comparatively inexpensive, that every year will probably draw still greater numbers to Ger- many. There is a marked difference between the previous year and the present one in numerical strength, and the reappearance of many who assisted at that reunion proves their appreciation of its pleasures. We do not mean to say that that numerical supe- riority has, in all cases, been attended with happy results, nor is it suggestive, in our opinion, of great advantages to the promotion of sport; but it demonstrates beyond a doubt that the labours of litterateurs have not been thrown away. For the mere details of the racing, the names and numbers of the horses, we shall refer our readers to the statistics so fully and so ably placed before them in the proper place, and we shall have served our purpose fully if we can select from them certain subjects interesting either to the speculative or suggestive to the reformers of our own meetings. The Baden race course is not, as has been imagined, within a stone's throw of the Kursaal; nor can it be viewed from the sheltered balcony of our hotel. It is situated at a village called Iffezheim, a very primitive place, bounded by the hillsof theBlack Forest, at a distance of seven miles from the town. The charming simplicity of the natives is truly refreshing, and is exhibited on the road to the rendezvous. Although the route is kept alive by the cracking of whips and the blowing of horns, so peculiar to continental demonstration, not one soul that we could observe ceased hoeing potatoes, to look at the company or to follow the cavalcade. As we have before remarked, this is certainly not due to the unobtrusive nature of our toilets, or to the extraordinary industry of native talent, but it is due to an utter indiffer- ence among the lower orders to everything connected with a taste for horseflesh. We may even go beyond this and include in our remarks themiddleclasses or the bourgeoisie of the country. Whilst the buyers of every article of luxury, vertu, or necessity are gone to the course, the sellers to a man ( or woman) remain pensively at their posts, ignorant of the existence of a race course, excepting by the additional crowd of foreigners it attracts. The meeting is entirely supported by strangers— French, Rus- sians, Austrians, and English— and the names of the jockeys are so ridiculously familiar that we strongly recommend" the adoption of some French and German names to give a halo of nationality to the meeting. On the subject of jockeys, wirhout wishing to be severe, we may hold out the continental professor as an example to the indigenous. We saw nothing of that smoking in the face of their masters, or expectorating in the presence of their betters, so common among us. We received a civil answer or two to a ques- tion as to the breed and ownership of certain horses. There was a total absence of that awful mystery, solemn silence, or confounded impertinence which has so often been commented upon at home, and which invariably suggests the possibility that the jockey is in contemplation of some horrible crime, or that you yourself have committed a gross indecorum in addressing so important a personage. We do not venture to say whether the cause is to be assigned to some difference in the master or the natural breeding of the boy, which we should be sorry to believe, but we state a fact which is apparent to all. Why is a servant who dresses a horse, or who rides a horse, or who feeds a hound, or who carries a gun, so frequently impertinent to strangers ? To the initiated there is no class of men more communicative. Put on a red coat, gaiters, and a shooting jacket, ride a fat cob, be seen at the cover side with a master of hounds or the proprietor of pheasants a la bonne heure, everything then is as it Bhould be, and you may have as much information in an afternoon as would suffice for a second edition of the Druid ; but be you ignorant, or a stranger, or unconventionally dressed, the chances are you could scarcely fill one side of a sheet of note paper, and the whole of your information would go into ene line. We seem rather to have got rid of Baden Baden. lievenons a nos moutons. The picturesque does not find favour with the racing man ; at least it adds very little to his enjoyment. Wolverhampton is the same to him as Epsom Downs. But there are hundreds of per- sons who go to races upon whom the locale produces the greatest possible effect. Witness the success of Goodwood. A grand picnic in a lovely country, and a little racing to enliven the affair. It seems to be putting the cart { carte du pays) rather before the horse, but still every man is not imbued with that keen sense of " the true" which distinguishes us sportsmen. Baden- Baden is precisely the place to which such persons should go. A charming vale, a positive garden of Indian corn and potatoes, surrounded by beautiful fir woods, and the rich sloping hills of the forest in the distance. On this flat the course has been made, with a view to the convenience of the spectators They can all see; not quite so clearly as to detect roping in the distance, but verv nearly so. The ground after wet is usually heavy, as, in- deed, afew hours'shooting over it convinced us, though we managed to get about 10 brace of birds in a soaking rain. At all times it is a little heavy, the long grass remaining; but it is an immense improvement on the dry and dusty turf of most English courses. The only part of the race course which can be said to be occupied are the Stands, two of which belong to the public, the other to the royal family. These Stands are usually quite full, not to suffocation, however, and there is ( almost) an absence of that glorious institution the Ring. By the way, that is a featured, hat deserves a remark. A man fond of racing for itself could certainly dispense with that ingre- dient. Now at Baden- Baden, whatever betting was to take place was done opposite the rooms at night. This offended nobody; and if the French ladies, who resort in large flocks to this favourite place of autumnal resort, are not hurt at the uncere- monious pronunciation of their language, we should regard the Ring at Baden- Baden as the most innocent of recrea- tions. We feel satisfied that the money is ke(., t for the tables; at least the circulation in the Ring has been pro- verbially small. Be that as it may, up to the present season, not a whisper had been heard of " three to one bar one," or any- thing at all like it, and ladies and gentlemen really congratulate themselves at havingfound a place where the enjoyment of horses would be unalloyed Bat we all know the energy of an English- man on his favourite hobby. He rides it up hill and down hill, and all over the world ; and the consequence is that he has pulled him up this year on Baden- Baden race course. We must be un- derstood to say that this is bur, the nucleus of what will be a bet- ting ring; but the entire absence of anything at all like it last year and previously made us more susceptible of its introduction now. In England we say nothing about it. It receives an occa- sional kick as an offering to conscience; but the notion of remov- ing the Ring seldom enters seriously into the conception of any man. At Baden- Baden, however, we have watched its career, and we can no longer ignore its existence. Whether it has become a part of the business from a certain necessity of knowing first what, comes to . the post, or whether it has grown out of the habit of our countrymen of making their wants and wishes known wherever t. hey go, it is hard to say. An Englishman in want of five to one would be very likely to say so ; and if he said so in comprehensible language, it isjust possible that a Frenchman might, be found to oblige him. An inquiry from a Viennese noble as to the odds against La Toucques might naturally follow ; and although one swallow does not make a summer, a liberal offer makes a great many swallows. In this way undoubtedly the thing has grown, and all we wish the Badenoises is that their Ring may prove equally honest and less obstreperous than our own. From'our remarks it must not be imagined that the Ring as there constituted bears in any way the slightest resemblance to that body in England. It is differently constituted, has a different object, and different manners. The persons who compose it at present are not book makers, excepting perchance one or two of our countrymen. It is a simple convenience for the purpose of ascertaining what odds can be had about certain horses. A few minutes before each race suffices for the settle- ment of its business, which is transacted for the most part by a few gentlemen riders, and for no ruinous sums. To say that this is any inconvenience to the meeting or to the spectators is absurd. Scarcely a word is spoken above a whisper, and it is as completely different from an English Ring as the language or the money which is mutually current at it. It would have been immaterial, but that as dutiful chroniclers it became necessary to mention it, as an innovation upon the innocent simplicity of former years. But the whole thing goes on upon this principle of quiet refine- ment. Instead of the A division, the conventional sticks, and Aunt Sally, the unprotected dog, and the ready candidate for the pump, the police office, or the horsepond, we have nothing but the most startling propriety. Pompeii itself, if it took to racing, could not do it more quietly. The ground clears itself. We did see one semi- jager, semi- soldier, wi o walked solemnly up and down, but it must have been a sadly dull time for him. The jockeys mount at the sideof the Stand, withoutinconvenience. and in sight of everybody present. They are conducted to the post by Mr Mackenzie- Grieves, a gentleman too well- known to require further notice from us, and are dismissed from the post by the same gentlemen, without any trouble or any delay. The jockeys are taught to be obedient to him, and find their ac- count in punctuality and freedom from fine and suspension. We need hardly say that gentleman- jockeyship has many votaries here amongst the English and French, the latter of whom out- weigh in numbers their more successful opponents. The question of gentleman- jockeyship in this place gave rise to a most unhappy quarrel and loss of life during the past year. We are unwilling to enter upon a subject which may give pain until the necessity of the case shall require it, but some late rules applicable to ama- teur riding in the steeple chase may render some review of the pecaliarities of the subject desirable, in which case an honest de- claration of opinion ought to make no enemies, if the bounds of legitimate discussion be not transgressed. It is one of those cases in which pure definition is only likely to make matters worse ; to give rise to jealousy and dislike, or to chicanery and deceit. The side of the course opposite the Stand, in our own country devoted to the carriages of such as prefer them, and to that part of the population which is said to be short of water, is iti Baden- Baden nearly a desert. There is nothing, to our taste, more cheer- ful or characteristic than the multitudes of " the people'' ( it's a great name, " plebs'' or " populus") which flock to our provincial courses. Instead of the assumed indifference of the winner or loser of thousands, their unalloyed happiness in their annual holiday is a charming lesson for the idle and self- indulsent. On a continental race course it goes for little ; at Baden Baden it is positively nil. Whether five years is not time enough to have imbued the bucolic mind with the tastes of an aristocracy, or whether the people is separated in its tastes as in its interests from it, we cannot determine; but one of the truest indications of a happy spirit is a common bond and participation in our amuse- ments. Time may do something, but a radical improvement in the breed of horses must be accompanied or preceded by a decided movement on the part of the middle classes. When a man hears of eight days' racing, i. e. from the second to the tenth of the month, he imatrines an insatiable appetite on the partof the spectator. This requires, however, an explanation. During that time, four days, the 2d, 5th, 7t. h, and 10th, are de- voted to sport, and the intervening days to the ordinary amuse- ments of the place. A French company, which gives excellent interpretations of Moliere, dinners, dejeuners, balls, visits to the environs, and play. " Alea, vina, Venus, tribus his sum factus egenus." And as on each day not more than four or five events figure on the card, the time consumed on the road and the Turf is not dispro- portioned to a day of pleasure. We cannot say this of a start at 9 a. m., with a hamper from Fortnum and Mason's of the dimen- sions of a washing basket, and a return at 11 p. m., in which dust arid drink contend for a doubtful victory. Baden- Baden gives an example of moderation, which, however, our| social institutions must forbid us to follow. There we return to a light and wholesome dinner, at our own hour, having whetted, not satiated our appe- tite, and willing to diversify other recreations with an hour or two's racing on the next occasion that offers. Roping is rare ; we are glad to hear that; long may it continue so ! Some philosophers have asserted that there is only a certian amount of vice in the world. Can it be that we have monopolised the little dereliction in question? Not entirely, as a most pal- pable case has been detected, and we refrain from going into it only that the ends of justice may not be defeated, should the stewards desire to act with the impartiality for which we are willing to give them credit. To speak in general terms, there can be no doubt that the integrity of the Turf there is far greater than it is here. How long it may be before the Continent may be induced to believe that, dishonesty is the best policy no man can sa37. At present it is believed to go straight. We wish such a meeting all the success it deserves, and in concluding with some remarks upon the steeple chase we take leave of a very pleasant week's racing at Baden- Baden. We all understand the meaning of steeple chasing in England. It is but too frequently a simple, straightforward proceeding, in which the grand object is to make money, not hunters. This ques- tion has so often been discussed that we ^ hould waste time in going over the same ground. There was a sufficient peculiarity in the Baden- Baden chases of last year to in- terest our readers by the difference of weight and the veritable absence of even suspicion as to the fairness of the whole proceed- ing. At least, this is in contrast with our own. It seems that hitherto the prizes, i. e., the lion's share of them, has fallen to the English market, and as riding, to say nothing of the material, has much to do with it, we are not surprised that the authorities should be anxious to turn this tide of success into a foreign channel. In advertising the Grand Steeple Chase at Baden- Baden of 500 Frederics d'or ( 430 sovs), given by the Promoters of Sport, for all ages and all countries, at. a weight of 12st 81b, with 111b extra for winners of a certain sum in 1863, a veto has been put upon En- glishmen to an extent perfectly unparalleled. It cannot be that the Grand Duke of Nassau or M le Baron de Breidbach, his mas- ter of the horse and chamberlain, intentionally ignored the claims of our countrymen, so as to have excluded every English- man who is not a member of the Jockey Club or an officer on active service from running a horse: uoneeive tne effect of the an nouncement. The Baron de Breidbach can have no idea of the position of gentlemen in our country, or there must be some literal mistake. We do not know the exact extent to which German no- bility may stretch, nor the statistical details of the Viennese and Paris jockey clubs and the German or French army; but we can assure the framers of this special interdict ( we beg pardon, canon we should have said) that the Jockey Club and army of England embrace only a small portion of those who are admitted into society, and thatif Baden honestlylooks for the best horses and best riders as competitors for the liberality of the promoters ef the sport, it must go a great deal further than either of these institutions to ensure English support. It must be very clear that the reception of our countrymen on previous occasions has been fully appre- ciated by the numbers that are now here; but the absentees whom this steeple chase programme has deterred from con- tending forai no inconsiderable item in the list of owners and riders of steeple chase horses. Wishing well to the Baden meet- ing, as we do, we can only hope that another season may witness more circumspection in the formation of conditions, if the 430 sovs prize be honestly intended for public competition between horses " of all ages and of every country;'' at the same time we avow our belief that the whole will prove to be a mistake, though now too late for correction. We had written thus far, and intended to conclude our remarks on the Baden- Baden meeting with these expressions, as being in accordance with the sentiments of several gentlemen who have been disappointed by the terms of the programme; but we have just ascertained, by a comparison of the original German instruc- tions with the French and English translation of them, that the whole is an error. We do not know exactly by whose mistake the misconstruction of the sentence has arisen; but at the list moment we beg to exonerate M de Breidbach entirely from any intention to exclude us; and to explain to our readers that the original instructions are to the following purport:—" That both proprietors and riders, if not members of the above- mentioned clubs or profession, have nothing to do but to obtain a presenta- tion from any two members of them to render them eligible;" a very different interpretation from that which appears upon the face of the English and French translations.

I Well done I Olga Grisette HORSE SHOWS, & c. TO THE EDITOB OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIB : In the foot note to my letter of last week you mistake me in supposing that I consider horse dealers better judges of the requisites for a hunter than gentlemen. Nevertheless, I do assert that they would be far preferable to local judges. No doubt there are many gentlemen first- rate judges of horseflesh, but you cannot appoint or pay them as you would professionals, and besides, amateur or unpaid work is rarely done so well. Now, dealers have the advantage of selecting and purchasing most of the animals for hunting, and they know their business. I have known in my time many London dealers first- rate men in the field, from Robinson and Bean to Tilbury, Tattersall, Mason, and Anderson, and have no hesitation in saying that better judges of hunters than the two latter could not ' be found. I have also witnessed the performances across country of all the best men of the last generation, and I apprehend they are not excelled by the present. There were many heavy weights who went like work- men, but the light brigade, who led the van, and skimmed the fields like swallows, were Colonels Standen, Rowlej', Greenwood, and Capt Paton, men whose like we shall not look upon again. And now allow me to make some more remarks upon the im- provement of our breed of horses, a subject upon which I have often written, and one which I have much at heart. And first re- ferring to horse shows, you are quite right in doubting the fitness of the Agricultural Hall for such a purpose. It would be impos- sible to exhibit the action and qualities of the animals in so con- fined a space, crowded as it would be by a multitude of people. I do not think that a better place than Battersea Park could be found near London, and it has already been successfully proved by the Royal Agricultural, and let me add, that for a grand national horse show to be successful it must be commenced at the right end— that is, it should be started by a company of gentlemen of rank and influence, under the patronage of the prince and aristocracy, otherwise it. would prove a dead failure; but under such auspices and good management it would produce an im- mense fund for the payment of expenses and the awarding of prizes. Horse shows should be established in every county in England, open only to those bred in the county, " and prizes awarded to three and four year old animals annually to encourage a display of fresh stock. These shows should take place every spring, and then all unite to compete in the grand national every succeeding July ; the latter would thus combine such a collection of superb annimals as the world has never witnessed, and bring gentlemen and dealers from all parts of Europe for their purchase. A show should be held in each Riding of Yorkshire, and one in North and another in South Lincolnshire; and as a further encouragement to breeders the Government should give a Queen's Plate to be run for annually in the neighbourhood of each show, for four and five year old horses, bona fide, the property of the breeders, carrying eleven and twelve stone, over two and three mile courses; this would ensure the production of stout, and useful animals for hunting purposes, and iftheGovernment would also exercise a supervision over all country stallions, and give a license to such only as were approved by an inspector, we should get rid of all the sorry lot at present in use to the detriment of the breed, and acquire a fresh supply of useful animals to the benefit, of the country. A license granted annually to owners of horses at the rate of £ 5 or £ 10 would pay all the expenses of the process. Having now nearly exhausted the subject, I shall be content to remain an anxious OBSEBVATOB. DOG AND HOUND SHOWS. TO THE EDITOB OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIB : In your paper, dated 23d August, a correspondent invites persons to give their opinions on the present practice of sending foxhounds to the show rooms. I cannot agree with your corres- pondent that it can in any way be an evil to the future breed of hounds. As long as we have such men as the Duke of Rutland Osbaldeston, and the Duke of Beaufort, there is no fear of the noble blood of the foxhound being degenerated. Were I at this time master of hounds, I should imagine I was very much de- grading them by mixing them up with French poodles arid Lon- don bulldogs. My idea is, gentlemen who know the minutia of hunting enjoy themselves in the summer months by visiting different kennels, and seeing the noble countenances of the hounds as they lie on the benches. Some hounds appear plain in the kennel, but when in the field are more showy than those of a more per- fect form. What can be more animating to a thoroughbred sports- man than to see the hounds picking up the scent over the fallows, or running with their stooping heads in the cross lanes ? Fox- hunters do not then look after symmetry.— Yours, & c, Andover, Sept 8. AN OLD HUNTEB. THE FINE ARTS. A RUN WITH THE STAGHOUNDS.— [ Fores, Piccadilly.]— Mr Fores has thus early backed Mr Pippins's famous " Day with the Foxhounds" by a companion series, also from the ready pencil of " Phiz." This second set includes another dozen subjects, all beau- tifully got up, spiritedly sketched, nicely tinted, and so forth. They rather lack the interest., however, of the former history, simply from the want of a hero; whereas the artist, by way of antithesis to Pippins, should have taken hold of the Honourable Crasher, or some sueh out- and- out swell, all polish and shine, and have put him along just as these elaborate dandies do figure in a run with the staggers. The story by such a means would have told well; but in the absence of any such a connecting thread, we have a succession of some- what detached scenes, every one full of life and incident, and certainly to a great extent each a little epic of itself. Thus we start with" A 8hort Cut to the Meet," followed by " Uncarting the Deer," with the ladies and carriage company occupying their customary prominent, position at such an epoch in the day's busi- ness. Then, there is the anxiety of the field, all drawn up to- gether like Mr M'George's Cesarewitch lot, to get a start; while the old jokeof " the hard riders'' is next illustrated by a serpen- tine scurry down a muddy lane. •' Something Wrong" shows a terrible spread eagle and the hounds apparently getting clean away srom everybody; and, in fact, it does seem that " Going the Pace," where they are all a deal fresher, should have the precedence of the other plate, although numbered as next on the liht. " A Welcome Check," with " Have you 8een the Deer, Ladies?'' let's the more handy in again ; and then we have an- other time honoured incident of the chase, where, when " thrown out," the short- sighted sportsman is asking of the scare- crow if he has seen the hounds. " The Sanctuary," with the deer jumping into the washing ground and frightening the old lady arid her daughter out of all their small wits, is about the best thing in the book, and a capital sketch it is. " The Run of the 8eason," with the stag making his way through Croydon, is also very good, but surely the title is worn pretty well threadbare by this time. " Hard Pressed,'' with the deer in vain ambush under the alders, has perhaps more really sportsmanlike feeling about it than any other scene in the run, and " the take" winds off the story with the stag in his way across the farm- yard to the barn, where he will be safely housed until the cart can come round for him. Of course there are many amusing bits of incident and character interspersed through these several stages of " A Run with the Staghounds," which is tolerably certain to have a run of its own. CHANGE RINGING— On Monday. Sept 7. eight members of the Sheffield St Peter's Company visited Castleton, Derbyshire, and succeeded in ringing Mr J.

Previously the members sat down to the usual house dinner provided for these occasions. The cup bearer, Mr Edwd. Fletcher, presided. After the minutes were read over and confirmed, several members were elected. The closing cruise of the yachts to sail in company was postponed, by an arrangement between the yacht owners, and is to be held at the time of the Channel Fleet visiting the Mersey. It was also suggested that the club should give a public dinner to the officers of the fleet. RANELAGH YACHT CLUB. The monthly meeting of the members of this club was held on Wednesday evening, Sept 26, at the club house, the Pier Hotel, Chelsea, Mr Lenthall, the treasurer, in the chair. The only thing of importance to be transacted was the fixture of the closing trip, and it was determined, after some discussion, that this should take place on Saturday, Sept 26. Yachts to assemble at Green- wich Hospital at two o'clock, and sail thence in company for Erith at three o'clock, where members and their friends will dine at the Crown Hotel at six. ITCHEN REGATTA, SOUTHAMPTON. This regatta came off on Monday, Sept 7, under the patronage of the Earl of Hardwicke, the Eight Hon the Lord Mayor of London, and W. Digby Seymour, the members for the borough; Thos. Chamberlayne, owner of the Arrow; T. W. Fleming, and the nobility and gentry of the neighbourhood. The weather was somewhat blusterous, but fine overhead, it blowing a strong gale from the north- west throughout. The Gem steamer, belonging to the Isle of Wight Royal Mail Company, was placed at the dis- posal of the sailing committee, and became the starting vessel. THE FIBST YACHT MATCH.— The CLUB PBIZE, a silver cup, value £ 12, with £ 5 added, for yachts not exceeding 12 tons o. m., time race, one minute per ton, three to start or no race. For this there were three entries, viz:— YACHT. TONS. OWNER. OCTOROON 12 C. Long QUIVER 12 Capt Chamberlayne ALGERINE 10 F. Rosoman The Octoroon had not yet returned from Dover, having been compelled, by the adverse gales, to bear up for Shoreham for shelter. The Algerine, however, sailed in company with her on the 3d, and thrashed the whole of the way down Channel against strong winds, but only reached the Itchen the previous day. The hour having arrived for the start, and the Octoroon not having arrived, it was mutually arranged by the committee to start the Quiver and Algerine together, although it was evident that the latter would be overpowered by her antagonist in the gale which, was then blowing. At 11: 55 both yachts were started, and the Algerine was the first to move, and took the lead with flowing sheets out of the Itchen, each of them having two reefs down in the mainsail. Upon nearing the West. India Dock buoy, and while in the act of reefing the foresail, the Quiver luffed up to windward of the Algerine and passed her. It was blowing a strong gale from the north- west, and ihe little vessels were completely buried in the seas. In the second round the Quiver took in her third reef, and the Algerine carried away her bitts, the jib flew to lee- ward and got over the crosstree, which broke short off. Two rounds of the course had now been completed, and although the Algerine had been beaten by about eleven minutes, the race was continued, in the hope that a shift of wind or more moderate weather might change their positions; but at 2: 45 p. m., as the Algerine was threading her way through the crowd of siiipping moored off the docks, the Harriet, one of the vessels in the third match, suddenly appeared, and was crossing her bow ; there was no alternative left to those on board the Algerine but to pass over her, and thus jeopardise all hands, or to bear up and run into a smack; fortunately the latter was done, but no other damage was incurred beyond the Algerine carrying away her lee rigging, bul- warks, and channel plates. She, of course, gave up the contest. The course was from the station vessel abreast the Club House, out of the Itchen, thence round the West India Dock buoy; this was accomplished with the wind large, then a dead beat up to Cracknore Hard, round the buoy, returning dead before the wind into the Itchen River, passing the station vessel, round a flagboat off the Belvidere ship- yard, and back to the station vessel; three times round. The following is the time of the yachts on com- pleting each round:— YACHT. LST ROOND. H. M. S. QUIVER L IN O.., ALGERINE 1 15 30... This was a well- contested race, and it was evident that " the two tons told fearfully on the smaller vessel. She was regularly overpowered during the gale, but by all accounts proved herself an excellent sea boat. Nothing but the insinuation that " they couldn't show to it'' caused the match to be proceeded with. The Quiver was sailed by H. Parker, the master of the Arrow, and the Algerine by T. Gibbens, both Itchen salts. SECOND MATCH — A prize of £ 9, for pleasure boats not exceed- ing 23ft; three sails; twne race, lmin per foot; first boat £ 4, second £ 3, third £ 2 ; four to start or the third prize would not be given. The following took part in the contest, which was pur- sued under similar difficulties of wind and weather. The result was as follows :— YACHT. lST ROOND. 2d ROUND. 3D ROUND. II. M. s. H. M. S. H. M.

HARRIET AND MARY 2 I DON'T KNOW This was a very equal match, as will be seen by the time of the three rounds of the course, which was shortened, there being only five minutes and a half between the first and last ve- sel on their being timed at the goal. Tbe Harriet and Mary and I Don't Know fouled the markboat in getting round, and the committee divided the two prizes between them. FOUBTH MATCH, for fishermen's boats, with their own work- ing sails, 19 feet and under ; time race, one minute per foot; first prize £ 3, second £ 2, third £ 1, which was decided as under :— 1ST ROUND. 2D ROUND. 3D ROUND.

FIBST RACE, a Prize of £ 14, for four- oared 30- feet galleys; open to the coast; in heats ; first prize £ 8, second £ 4, third £ 2: Nil Desperandum 1, Thetis 2, Gorilla 3, Scotia 0. The Scotia was not at her station, and did not start until the other three were away. Nil took the lead and kept it, and became the winner by about two lengths. It was a well- contested match. A PBIZE of £ 10, for four- oared galleys, manned bjV: . ibers of the 8.1. B. Club ; in heats ; first prize £ 5, second £ 3, tl.' ' I £ 2. In this match the Nil Desperandum became again the vicCr in both, heats, the Thetis coming in second, and the Scotia third. A very fair race. The prizes were distributed at the club room on Tuesday evening. Mr Hatcher, treasurer, and Mr Dineage, of the sailing committee, bore the brunt of the day's action. 2D ROUND. 3D ROUND. H. M. S. H.

These annual sports came off on Tuesday, Sept 8, at Babbi- combe, under the patronage of Sir Walter Carew, Bart, R. Y. 8.; R. 8. Gary, W. MetcaU, J. Brown, and G. Thorn, R. N. The pretty little bay was unusually lively and gay, and the craft, large and small, made a profuse display of bunting. The sports, on the whole, were exceedingly good, and were doubtless very much enjoyed by the large number of spectators who thronged the Down and other available places. The arrangements were carried out in a highly satisfactory manner by a committee formed of the following gentlemen :— Messrs J. Lear ( hon sec), J. Thomas, J. R. C Matthews, W. Pulling, W. Gasking, T. Gib son, R. Ash, and H. Callard. The racing commenced with A SAILING MATCH, for a Purse of £ 8, for yachts not exceeding 15 tons; first prize £ 5, second £ 2, third £ 1. There were three entries for this prize, viz :— Firecloud, 13 tons, Mr Mansfield, Teignmouth; The Cure, 10 tons, Mr Hook, Exmouth; the Coral, 9 tons, Capt Bayly, Torquay. At. 1: 26 the signal gun was fired, and wff went the yachts in capital style, the little Coral having the lead, which she maintained throughout the race, and, as will be seen from the times given below, she increased the distance between herself and competitors by several minutes in each round. The boats were timed in each round as follows :— 1ST ROUND. 2D ROUND. 3J> ROUND. YACHT. H. M. S. H. M. S. H. M. S.

The boats got away in capital style at 1: 52, and went twice round the same course the yachts had gone round. 8even started, but four only completed the race, in consequence of various accidents. The Pixie, after completing the first round, carried away her peak halyards ; the Tision lost her topmast, and the Syke carried away her bowsprit,, • which was replaced, but it subsequently went away again, and she was obliged, with the others, to give up.

SECOND DAT.— The races at this regatta were resumed on Saturday, Sept 5. The weather was very unfavourable till about two o'clock, when the rain, which had fallen almost inces- santly during the early part of the day, cleared off. Perhaps the most exciting contest during the day was the swimming match, which was cleverly won by J. Reid of Glasgow, D. Meakin of Manchester being a good second. Mr J. Gilchrist again officiated as Commodore. There was a large number of spectators present in the afternoon, and great interest was manifested in the proceed- ings.

Mr Gilchrist, in a few appropriate remarks, pre- sented Mr Reid with the handsome cup. PATRONS' CUP, value £ 10. To be pulled for in two- oared 27- feet gigs by members of the club. Vulture ( J. Heffernon) 1, Empire ( J. Crawford) 2. The final heat of the Coxswains' race was won by the Nile, the Black Prince being second, and the Star third. THAMES ROWING CLUB.

The members of this club held a general meeting on Saturday evening, Sept 5, at the club house, the Feathers, Wandsworth, Mr F. J. Tyler in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed, the following gentlemen were elected members, viz:— Messrs R. D. Hall, jun, 1, Vicarage- fardens, Kensington; J. R. H. Cox, New Brentford; W. J. Hayes, ' hreadneedle- street; and Alex. Thorn, North- street, Wandsworth ; the name of Mr Roney having been inserted by mistake last week.— The hon see notified that he had received the cups for the pair- oared outrigged gig race, which took place at Kew on Satur- day, Aug 29, and Handed them to the winners ( Messrs Collins, Mares, and Niblett), who, in returning thanks, congratulated the club on their signal success at the Kew Regatta, where they won every race they entered for, a wish being expressed that the club might ever preserve the unanimity at present prevailing among its members, and continue to do as well as it has done during the past year. Arrangements were also completed at this meeting for the J uriior Scullers race of this club, which will take place on the 18th Sept for the first prize, the losing men rowing on the follow- ing day for the second prize. No second prize will be given un- less six start. CORSAIR ROWING CLUB. JUNIOR SCULLS.— The junior members of this club rowed a scullers race on Saturday, Sept 5, for two prizes, the first presented by Mr J. C. K earns, the captain, and the second by the club; these, however, only produced four entries, three gentlemen only going, and the result was as under :— J. EUinge. r— Surrey station .... 1 I H. Kearns— Centre 0 H. Moore— Middlesex station .. 2 | A. Miller dr The course was Putney to Hammersmith, and the captain officiated as umpire in a club four. Mr Ellinger, although having the worst station, at once took the lead, and was two lengths in front at Simmons's, Moore being second, and Kearns half a length behind him. Ellinger from here increased his lead as he liked and won easily, but there was a capital race between Messrs Kearns and Moore, the former repeatedly spurting over the latter till they reached the Crab Tree, where Moore got away, and won the second prize by three lengths. The usual monthly meeting of this club was held on Monday, Bept 7, at Lindsay's Quadrant Hotel, when the following crews entered for the pair- oared ouirigged race, to take place on Sept 12: J. Ellihger and J. C. Kearns I A. Herron and N. Adams H. Moore and H. Castell Ttie course to be from Hammersmith to Putney. To start at four o'clock. Entries were also taken for the pair- oared gig race fixed for the 19t, h Sept, and the following crews drawn :— II. Kearns ana K. Oough, H. Moore ( cox). A. Miller and N. Adams, H. Silverlock ( cox). W. Kearns and A. Herron. J. Kearns ( cox). J. Kgl. se and H. Castell, T. Smith ( cox). Course from Putney to Hammersmith, start at six o'clock. Mr J. Matthews was proposed as a member, and the prizes for the Junior Sculling Race rowed on September 5th were presented by the captain. A discussion then followed with regard to the late Kew Regatta, which unavoidably stands over. ARIEL ROWING CLUB. FOUR- OARED RACE.— Following the race of the Corsairs, the members of the Ariel Rowing Club rowed a four- oared race on Saturday evening, Sept 5, Mr Kearns, the captain of the Cor- sairs, also accompanying this race as umpire. The course was Putney to Hammersmith, and the result as under:— MR FISHER'S CREW— E Tatham, C. Fisher, E. R. Glendinning, F. Fisher, F. Bardo ( cox) 1 MR HOPTON'S CREW— R. O. Yearsley, F. Austin, C. W. Ro- ney, T. W. Hopton; VV. Marshall ( cox) 0 They made a capital start and rowed level up to the Duke's Head, when Mr Fisher from the best station took the lead, and, gradually increasing his advantage, won easily. The form of the winning boat was very good, while the losers were at a great dis- advantage, having had but very little practice. The prizes were after vards presented to the winners by the captain of the club at Ke'\ ' s the Bells, Putney, where also some arrangements were m\ Yei'pecting the pair- oared race of the club on October 3, the enttv -, s for which close on Saturday, Sept 19. THE LATE KEW REGATTA. We have received several letters on the subject of the late Regatta at Kew, which unavoidably stand over for want of space. HASTINGS REGATTA.— This regatta, after repeated postpone- ments on account of the weather, was brought off on Tuesday, Bept 1 ; and though the day was fine, and there was a nice breeze for the sailing boats, the sea was much too rough for the ex- hibition of good rowing, and besides that the course laid out was unnecessarily long. The result was that the contests occupied a much longer time than usual, and sorely taxed both the patience of the officials and the public at large. The boats started from the Grand Stand, rowing round the eastern buoys first, then down to the western buoys and back to the Stand. The distance, how- ever, was so great, that quite three parts of each race were un- observable to the committee as well as the public, and the crews that did not give up before going over the whole course straggled in generally so far apart as to divest the event of all the interest which ought to accompany the sport. Mr Develin acted as um- pire, Mr Veness as starter, Capt Picknell as commodore, and Mr F. Waters as signal master. Among the other members of the committee who took an active part in the proceedings we noticed Messrs Guedalla ( chairman), John Hewell, C. Candler, Rubie, Develin, jun ( secretary), W. Adams, Bridger, Ashby, Shotter, & c. The races came off as follows :— Sailing Yawls and Luggers, not exceeding 24ft; prizes £ 2 10s, £ 1 10s, 15s, and 10s: Royal Albert ( Hastings). T. Tutt, 1; Elizabeth Frances ( St Leonards), C. Wratting, 2; British Queen ( Hastings), J. Burt, 3; Florence Nightingale ( Hastings), C. Gold, 4. The RoyalAlbert went right away from the others at starting, was never overtaken, and won the first prize with ease ; her opponents, who came in quite a quarter of an hour behind her, were each some distance apart. A protest, it was understood, was entered against the Royal Albert, on the ground that she did not go round the buoys.— First- class Ama'eur Four- oared Galleys, regatta built, and not exceeding 30ft, for a Purse of £ 9, in prizes of £ 5, £ 3, and £ 1: Brothers ( Hastings), A. Hutchinson, 1; Cave Adsum ( St Leonards), H. Roberts, 2; Rocket ( Brighton), J. Fairy, 3; Volunteer ( Hastings), . C. Hunter, 4; Lord Warden ( Hastings), S. Stace, jun, 5 ; Cave i Adsum ( Portslade), Smith, Brothers. 0. In passing the winning- j post on their return from the eastern buoy the Volunteer was | taking the lead, closely followed by the Brothers and Rocket, who j were about even, Cave Adsum ( 8t Leonards) being fourth. The I Lord Warden was last. While turning the eastern buoy the Cave j Adsum ( Portslade) broke their rudder, and gave up. The boats ' then proceeded to the western buoys, but owing to the sun shining so brightly upon the sea it was impossible to discern their colours from the committee tent. Upon their return, it was evident that the Cave Adsum and Brothers were each making a strong effort to take the first prize, and the latter won by about two lengths only. The others came in some distance apart in the order above mentioned. — Pair- oared 8kiffs not exceeding 18ft, prizes£ 2, £ 1, and 10s: Pirate's Bride ( Hastings), T. Tutt, 1; Pirate ( Hastings), G. Wenman, 2; The Little Darling ( 8horeham). F. Griggs, 0; Gorilla( Shoreham), F. Griggs, 0; Defiance ( Brighton), J. Fairy, 0. Avery good race between the Pirate's Bride and the Pirate, the former winning after a hard struggle by about two lengths. Neither of the Shoreham or Brighton skiffs passed the goal— Amateur Pair- oared Skiffs not exceeding 18ft, prizes £ 2, £ 1, and 10s: Pirate's Bride ( Hastings), T Tutt, 1; Ranger ( Shore- ham), R. Miller, 2. Although six were entered in this race only two started. The eastern buoys were not turned on this occasion, the course being from the starting point to the westerii buoys and back. The Pirate's Bride, the winner of the last race, carried the prize off easily.— First- class Four- oared Gallevs not exceeding 30ft, for a purse of £ 30, in prizes of £ 15, £ 10, and £ 5 : Lord Warden ( Hastings), G. Wenman, 1; Brothers ( Hastings), A. Hutchinson, 2; Rocket ( Brighton), J. Fairy, 3; St Leonard ( St Leonards), H. Roberts, 0. A very good start was effected. This was considered the most important race of the day. The Brothers, which has been very successful on former oconsions, was made first favourite. In rounding the eastern buoy the 9t Leonard was first, the Lord Warden second, the Rocket third, and the Brothers fourth. The two first- named soon after changed positions, and went by the starting point on their return some three or four lengths in ad- vance of the other two galleys, which were rowing parallel to each other. The Lord Warden won by several lengths.— Match be- tween the Artillery and Rifle Volunteers, for a purse of sovereigns: Volunteer ( Rifles;, Sergt Edwards. 1; Lord Warden ( Marines), Sergt- Major Picknell, 2 ; St Leonard ( Artillery), Sergt W. Mi se, 0 ; Brothers ( Rifles), Col- Sergt Hutchinson, 0. These boats rowed well together until they approached the eastern buoys, when the Volunteer turned first, closely followed by the Lord Warden, the Brothers, which was manned by four hands only, being the third boat in turning. In passing the committee boat the Volunteer was about four lengths ahead of the Lord Warden. Therewasastill greater distance between that and the Brothers, while the St Leo- nard was nowhere in the race. In going over the very long course to the west the boats retained the above positions, the Volunteer coming in a long distance ahead. Thus ended the regatta, which certainly proved the least interesting of any that have taken place in this town for many years past. WANSBECK REGATTA.— This regatta came off at Cambois, on Saturday, Sept 5, most of the races being at sea. The morning behg fine some hundreds of pleasure seekers wended their way to the scene of the sports.

On Monday evening the various prizes were paid over to the success- ful competitors, at the house of Mr Potts, Cambois. SOUTHAMPTON AMATEUR REGATTA CLUB.— The match for the Challenge Cup was originally appointed to come off on the 4th August, but owing to the squally weather which then prevailed it was postponed until Friday, Sept 4. The terms are:— The winner to hold the same for twelve months, but in case of a chal- lenge he shall be bound to accept the same once a quarter. The following were the entries:— Messrs Tubbs, Shergold, and Web- ster, but Mr Tubbs was unavoidably absent. Course, from West Quay, round a markboat off Milbrook and back, a distance of about four miles and a half. All being in readiness at 5: 10, they were started. Webster went off with the lead, but when near the markboat he was passed by Shergold, who retained the lead throughout the remainder of the course, having rounded the markboat about a minnte in advance of Webster, and returned to the goal 2min 20sec before him. The whole distance was accom- plished in 35m> n. Both parties were loudly greeted on their arrival at the winning post. YACHTING IN FRANCE.— The Right Hon T. Milner Gibson has visited Bordeaux in his cutter yacht the Resolute, 76 tons. The Emperor had projected the creation of a port of refuge at Biarritz, so as to render the Gulf of Gascony easily navigable by yachts, and to open to them a splendid field for cruises, & c. A commis- sion appointed to consider the question has come to the conclusion that ttie project is attended with considerable difficulties, and it is simply intended now to form a port for fishing and pilotage purposes. The Parisian Cercle des Yachts had a match in the basin at Argenteuil on Sept 6. The basin was sailed round twice, or about seven and a half miles in all. The start took place at 1: 47: 0, and the Atalante, which came in first in the second series, arrived at- 3: 22: 0, while the Saint Louis, first in the third series, arrived at 3: 34: 30. YACHT CRUISES, & C.— The Rosalind, schooner, 94 tons, Mr J. E. V. Vernon, has proceeded on a cruise from Queenstown to the north. The Circe, schooner, 128 tons, Mr D. Richardson, Vice- Commodore of the Royal Northsrn, has been cruising on the western coast of Scotland and the northern coast of Ireland ; she has returned to Gourock Bay. The Fair Geraldine, cutter, and the Nora Creina ( formerly a cutter, but now yawl- rigged), Lord de Ros, have arrived at Lough Strangford for Fairlie, whence the steam yacht Otho, Lord Otho Fitzgerald, has sailed for Queens- town. The Griffin, screw steam yacht, 303 tons, Mr J. Baird, has arrived at Ayr, after cruising among the Western Islands. The Griffin coaled at Ayr, and sailed on another cruise. WESTMINSTER WATERMEN AND LIGHTERMEN'S APPRENTICES' REGATTA.— This regatta will take place on Tuesday, Sept 15, for a coat and badge and money prizes. The first heat to start at two o'clock from the Houses of Parliament, up round Battersea Park Railway Bridge, down round Lambeth Bridge, and finish off Mr Liley's, Ship, Millbauk. The race to be rowed in old- fashioned wager boats; the first two boats in each heat to row in the grand heat.— First heat: C. Smith ( magenta), C. Parker ( blue), F. Blyde ( red), and W. Dolwin ( green).— Second heat: G. Russell ( yellow), J. 9. 8nell ( pink), E. Clifton ( white), T. W. Silk ( red and white). Mr William Martin, manager. KING'S LYNN ROADS REGATTA.— The decision of the committee with reference to the collision between Captain Cholmondeley's Little Yankee and MrF. J. Cressweli's Wild Duck was announced last week. It appears that the committee came nearly unani- mously to the conclusion that the collision was occasioned by the failure of the sailing- master of the Little Yankee to comply with a regulation requiring all craft on the port tack to give way to those on the starboard side. Mr Cresswell handsomely caused the £ 25 in dispute to be distributed among the crews of the fish- ing- boats which were entered at the regatta. LIMHHOUSE, POPLAB. AND MILLWALL REGATTA.— A new skiff, and sundry other prizes, will be rowed for at this regatta by the following six free watermen of the above parishes, on Monday, 8ept 21:— First heat: W. Kent ( pink), H. Pereria ( green), J. Conlan ( blue).— Second heat: - J. Hart ( yellow), R. Kirby ( red), C. Everest ( white). Other heats as usual. The race to extend from Ratcliff Cross to the Torrington Arms, and go twice round each heat. THE BLAKENEY LIFEBOAT.— A lifeboat, presented last year by Miss BrightweU to the Harbour of Blakeney, having been found too small, that lady has just purchased and placed at the disposal of the port a larger and more su'table one. The new boat has been brought down free of expense by the Great Eastern Railway Company. PRIDE OP WESTMINSTER ROWING CLUB.— The last race of the season of this club will be an eight- oared race, the draw for which will take place on Wednesday evening. Sept 15, at Mr Hobbs's, Westminster Arms, Holywell- street, Westminster. The race will be rowed on Oct 5 from Westminster Bridge to Battersea Old Bridge.

The contest is to take place on Sept 14, Mr E. B. Mather to be referee. MATCHES AT WOOLWICH BATHS.— A second series of matches took place on Monday evening. Sept 7, at the baths, Nelson- street, Woolwich, for a variety of prizes presented by the manager and a patron of the art belonging to the town. The sports commenced with a hurdle race, the competitors having to swim 225 feet and leap over three hurdles and dive under three hurdles ( or rather poles), the former being placed a few inches above the surface and the latter between three and four feet beneath it. The race, which afforded considerable amusement, was in heats, and was won by Mr Hodgson, after an exciting contest in the final heat with Mr Sallinger. A flat race, 375 feet, for a silver watch and gold guard, was won by Mr J. James, after swimming off with Mr Cansdale ; Messrs Reynolds and Pollard occupying third and fourth places. Diving then took place for various prizes, the lowest being worth 10s. Twenty half- crowns being thrown into the deepest part of the water, Mr Ellard, who has hitherto been unrivalled in this performance, again recovered the whole 20, but much more quickly than before, being only immersed 41 seconds ; Mr Cans- dale brought up 18, after being under water 62 seconds ; Mr Weavell 14, being under 59 seconds; and Mr E. Butler 10, in 49 seconds. Several others competed, but their efforts barely ex- ceeded picking up half- a- dozen of the pieces. There was a very large attendance, and the whole proceedings were ably arranged and conducted by Mr Hobbs, the umpire. ILEX CLUB.— The committee of this club, viewing with deep regret the late fatal calamity at Kew, have engaged Mr Dunham, of the Endell- street Baths, teacher of swimming, from Sept 1 to April 1, so that during the leisure months members may perfect themselves in swimming, in order to enable them with compara- tive safety to pursue their favourite amusement next year. The temeperature of the baths throughout the winter will be from 68 to 70 degrees. BILLIARDS.— On Tuesday, Sept 8, the renowned Mr J. Ro- berts of London and Mr J. Smith of Liverpool met at the Claren- don Inn, Oxford- road, Manchester, for the purpose of playing a game at billiards, for £- 50 a side, Mr Roberts giving his opponent 375 points in 1,000. At the conclusion of the match, during which Mr Roberts displayed some admirable skill, the score was as fol- lows:— Roberts 1,000, Smith 836, Mr Roberts thus winning by 164. Subjoined are the principal breaks of each:— Roberts 112, 50, 47, 46, 43, 32, 28, 28, 27, 27, 26, 26, 26, 26, 25, 22, 20, 20, and 45 breaks under 20 each ; Smith 56, 28, 21, 21, and 52 of less than 20 each. Mr Roberts made the spot stroke 21 times in his break of 112, and the contest occupied a little over three hours. Gentlemen who wish to learn or improve their game at billiards should get a few lessons from Mr W. White, the author of White on Billiards, at the New Opera Billiard- rooms, Bow- street, Covent- garden. His system of teaching is exclusively his own, and based on principles that ensure success. Terms very moderate. " A correct knowledge of the game and a good method is indispensa- ble to play well, the execution thereof very simple." RABBIT FANCY— The Kent and Surrey Fancy Rabbit Society will hold their half- yearly show at the Rosemary Branch Assembly Rooms, Peckham. on Monday, Sept 14, when some fine specimens will be exhibited. The chair to be taken at eight o'clock precisely. Admittance 6d. Tickets to be had at the bar. The- Chatham and Rochester Fancy Rabbit 8ociety will hold their summer prize show on Monday, 8ept 21, at Mr 8. Burford's, Gibraltar Inn, New- road, Chatham, when some very fine speci- mens will be exhibited. Admission to the show room from three to five, and from seven to nine o'clock. The chair will be taken at eight o'clock by Mr T. Ayerst, faced by Mr T. Gilbert. Tickets of admission can be had at the above house, or from any of the mem- bers at 6d each.

PIGEON FLYING.— A member of the City Club will be at Mr Peter Crawley's on Monday evening, 8ept i4, between eight and ten, to match a young bird to fly 100 miles against Mr Mills- Birds to be produced to prevent mistakes, PRIZE FIGHTING UNDER DIFFICULTIES. [ From tha Saturday Review.'] The proceedings which took place on Tuesday last, in connec- tion with the prize fight between Mace and Goss, offer a good example of the difficulties under which the business of the Prize Ring is at present carried on, and raise the question whether it is expedient that those difficulties should continue to exist. It is necessary, under the present system of magisterial interference, that any gentleman who feels curious to witness a prize tight should betake himself on the previous evening to one of those sporting public- houses where persons, properly accredited by I their appearance or the introduction which they bring, may ob- ! tain what is called " the office.'' As it is not the usual course of j business to take any important step until the evening has so far I advanced that a suitable quantity of boozing and smoking has j been got through, it will probably be eleven o'clock before the sporting host or an assistant wtiispers in your ear— but loud j enough, as you may think, to be heard by any person present who i did not know before—" Paddingtun Station ; half past three." If your residence is distant, and your faculty for calling yourself preiernaturally early is unreliable, you perhaps consider that your wisest course will be to take up quarters for the night where you are. It appears, on inquiry, that all the bedroom accommodation of the house has been already appropriated to other amateurs of prize fighting who are so much beneath the level of the occasion as to wish for a night's rest beforehand. But you are promised that when the house closes, which will be at one a. m., you may begin to try to sleep upon a bench in the parlour. The closing of the house, however, does not exclude the more select portion of the guests, who continue the night's revels at one end of the room while you proceed with experiments upon your own power of sleeping under difficulties at the other. Occasionally, some ragged and sodden hanger- on of the house appears to have dis- covered, by the help of such glimmering of intellect as has es- caped extinguishment in beer and gin, that it is likely that any attentions bestowed on yourself may result either in a pecuniary acknowledgment, or at least in an inquiry what your kind friend will take to drink. Accordingly he approaches your end of the room, and sitting down in familiar, not to say affectionate, proxi- mity, he begins to dilate upon the dangers which unprotected gentlemen incur at prize fights, and the confidence which may be placed in his own prowess, and his high and long- established character for honesty. As your countenance, perhaps, betrays the doubt which occupies your mind, whether your friend is likely three hours hentMi to be able to take care of himself— to say no- thing of taking care of you— he calls the head water to testify that all he has said is truth, adding, at the same time, an asseve- ration which will not bear repeating. On being summoned to support the assertion of your would- bej protector, the head waiter strongly advises you to take the additional precaution of leaving your watch or other valuable property with him. The waiter is in all probability quite honest; but as, after groping in his pocket for some time, he produces a few shillings and a watch key, and, holding them in an unsteady hand, gazes at them under an appa- rent belief that they represent a watch which he says has been al- ready intrusted to his keeping by another gentleman, you think that perhaps the till of a public- house which has been doing some hours of roaring trade is quite as much as the head waiter is ca- pable of taking care of. This opinion is confirmed by observing that, when you ask the waiter to change a sovereign, he counts six or seven shillings several times, as if he thought that they were sufficient for the purpose, and meantime he has lost your sovereign in some of those pockets which he had represented to be a safe receptacle for the watches and jewellery of gentlemen who propose to attend prize fights. The guests of the parlour drop off one by one, to get, as they say, an hour or two's sleep before starting, and the waiter with the unsteady hand and slightly confused ideas proceeds to count the money in the till, and turn down the gas, and otherwise ar- range tor the security of his master's property. There is a cessa- tion even of your friend's attentions, and for a very brief period an almost total stillness reigns before the noise begins of depar- ture for the railway station. On this occasion, as on most others, those who are early in the field effect with ease what others find an arduous task. In strange contrast to some descriptions of similar scenes, you find ready access to the paying place through a double line of the appointed ring- keepers of the day, who are supplied with means and seem to possess the will to do their duty. The porters and police of the Great Western Railway are, as usual, numerous, attentive, and respectful. The whole re- sources of the magnificent station appear to be placed tempo- rarily at the disposal of the patrons of the Ring ; and the thought suggests itself that, as the company is so obliging, there would perhaps be no objection to the fight coming off upon their premi- ses, so that, the business of the day might be settled there and then, before the genteel part of Paddington should be awake. A long train, composed partly of first- class carriages and pardy of other carriages quite good enough for the occasion, appears to supply more than adequate accommodation. As time advances you hear reports of a considerable mob and row outside the sta- tion, but all is tranquil and comfortable within. You remain in the enjoyment of that dignity of travelling which belongs to those who always go first class and tip the porters, and the train starts as quietly as if it were 6aking you down to Windsor to pre- sent an address to the Queen. You are thinking that, whatever else may be said against the Great Western Railway, they cer- tainly do manage a prize- fighting excursion capitally, when suddenly a head and shoulders are thrust through the open window of the carriage, a brass rod intended to prevent access is wrenched away, and a body and legs follow the head and shoulders into the interior. It turns out that, after being kept at bay for nearly an hour, a party of roughs finally stormed and carried the station just as the train was starting, and twenty or thirty of them jumped upon the steps, intending to find places as they proceeded. Among these sudden additions to the party in the train were one or two of the ring keepers, who claimed the credit of having defended the wall of the station against the besiegers until all was lost, including very nearly their own chance of seeing the fight. The roughs who had thus unexpectedly dissipated all illusions as to the selectness and gentility of the excursion certainly deserved some credit for their spirited occupation of the moving train. Their clothes, it must be ewned, were more dilapidated, and their hands and faces dirtier, than might be desired in travelling companions; but the class to which they belong are not all thieves as well as black- guards, and it would be unjust not to state that they are said to be in general respectful, and, in their way, considerate towards those whom they take for gentlemen. One of these intruders manifested as long as he was awake a genuine delight in the beautiful country traversed by the railway, which was the more remarkable because his London birth and education were shown by his not knowing a field of potatoes when he saw one. " Sir, sir," he cried, " look at the corn— four ricks of it.'' It maybe doubted whether his admiration of a fine rich meadow was not partly due to the consideration that it would be a nice place to pitch a ring ; but his pleasure at the sight of corn fields and grazing stock, and, indeed, at every object along the line, was only limited in expression by want of words. The topic upon which, when tie was not looking out of the window, he dilated with eloquence which knew no check for lack of either feeling or language was the praise of Goss, or, as he preferred to call him, Joe. In the favourite negative style in which the lower order of sporting men always convey what is meant for strong assertion, lie pro- tested that " Joe ain't no use— Joe can't do nothing— poor Joe, he's dead and buried, he is ;" adding only one positive statement — viz, that Joe would never let a poor fellow want a pint of beer. After some demonstrations of the style in which he expected to see Joe fight, in which the more lively movements approached dangerously near the nose of a gentleman who was luckily asleep, our friend's eloquence became hushed by the fatigue of an active night in the streets and public- houses. Scanning his well- built body and ugly but resolute features as he slept, it was natural to think what a soldier he would make, and how he might be made to go anywhere under good leading. There are generous instincts even in the London rough who hangs about public- houses, and learns to talk of prize tights in language which is alwa}' s blas- phemous when it is not obscene. When we hear of somebody's " young- un" or " novice,'' whose first appearance is announced, it is difficult not to wish that their training had been in better hands. One cannot help suspecting that the length of the excursion made last Tuesday was fixed rather to afford a pretext for charging a high price for tickets than under any belief that the spot selected was particularly eligible. Wootton Bassett, being nearly 80 miles from London, was reached shortly before seven o'cluck, by which time of course everybody was awake, and the passing train had made the intention evident, and the place of executing it not difficult to discover. The preliminaries having been protracted as if for the purpose of wasting valuable time, the men got to work at eight o'clock in a ring which, although not particularly eligible for fighting, was so arranged as to afford spectators a comfortable and complete view of the proceedings. It was very disappointing when, after five minutes of preliminary sparring, the police appeared, and stopped further progress, before a single blow had been struck. Without blaming anybody for this resuit, it certainly may be said that all the arrangements appeared calculated to produce it. As the railway company would do no more than convey the excursionists to any single point they chose, and back again, there was no option but to return to London. The journey back was rendered more amusing, if not more comfortable, by an irruption into the carriages of a large number of persons, whose intention of travelling down by the special train, either with or without payment, had been frus- trated by its early start, and who had come down by a later train. It appeared that seedy clothes usually contained pockets of won- derful capacity for carrying provender. One man produced half a loaf, and, as he said, " a little bit of pork," weighing a pound or two, which he ate by the help of a clasp knife having a blade about four inches long, and using his thumb with perfect im- punity as a sort of cutting- block. Bottled beer was obtained in abundance at the Swindon station, but it would be rash to assert that it was all paid for. Everybody was anxious to impart a share of these extremely miscellaneous provisions to those whose pockets or forethought had not been equal to the occasion. In proof that this courtesy is not unusual, a gentleman of the party men- tioned that on a previous occasion he started to see a fight rather seedy from being up all night. One of his travelling companions, noticing his condition, offered him first a drop of brandy, and then a little bit to eat. The latter offer being accepted caused the production from the lowest depths of a trousers' pocket of three mutton chops, which had been placed in that receptacle warm, and, it need not be said, were likely to remain so. The kind pro- prietor of the " hops extracted them with no little difficulty, along with a small quantity of loose tobacco, a match or two, a few coppers, and other trifling articles. On reaching London, about one o'clock, an immediate move was made for Fenchurcli- street, in hopes of catching a train for Purfleet on the Thames, and thence crossing the river to Plum- stead Marshes, the well- known scene of many a fight. Cabs traversing London with a dozen gentlemen of unprepossessing countenances, inside and out, revealed the purpose of the expedi- tion, and enlisted recruits in place of those who gave up the pur- suit at Paddington. The struggles for tickets at Fenchurch- street, and again for places in the very few boats available at Pur- fleet, were both in their way exciting. Ultimately the fight began in the Marsh, just under shelter of the bank which restrains the water of the river, at a quarter before five o'clock, and at about half- past six it finished. The preliminaries have occupied so long that the actual battle must be dismissed briefly. It was evi- dent that Goss was overmatched, both in skill and power. Although the men's weights were equal within a pound, Goss had his sub- stance in the legs, and Mace in the arms and shoulders, where, of course, it would be more effective. Goss was very quick upon his legs, and in general he kept away from Mace, hoping to tire him out, or at least to protract the battle till evening closed, and so to throw the finish of it into another day. There is no reason whatever to accuse Goss of lack of courage, or to attribute his re- tiring tactics to any other motive than a desire to do the best he he could for his backers' money. One of Mace's eyes was closed early, and Goss tried hard to close the other. Notwithstanding his shifty fighting, his own countenance, which is not naturally beauti- ful, had received several disembellishments. After many unsuccess- ful trials, Mace got at him at last, feinting with his left hand and making an upward hit with his right upon the jaw. The sound of the blow was audible by those who, from the pressure of the crowd, could not see it. Goss's head dropped upon his breast. He was carried to his corner insensible, and the fight was over. As the poor fellow revived, his first thought was of his defeat, and his seconds, to soothe him, temporarily assured him that it was a drawn battle. It was, however, a defeat, but no disgrace. It is only necessary to add that, looking to this particular example by itself, and without admitting or denying the truth of descriptions which have been published of other fights, the inference is that the epithets " brutal," " barbarous," " disgusting,'' and so forth, are uncalled for. There are people who do not like prize fights, and there are people who do like them. Much of what is ob- jectionable in the art and its practitioners would disappear if re- spectable society would look less unkindly upon it and them. At any rate, there is no sufficient reason why magistrates and police should display their activity by interfering with a prize- fight in such an out- of- the- way place as Plumstead Marshes. The pursuit of prize fighting under existing difficulties occasioned its votaries on Tuesday, Sept 1, to travel nearly 200 miles, and some of them to expend 24 hours in seeing the fight between Mace and Goss. THE £ 2,000 MATCH. HEENAN AND KING.— A great meeting was again held at MR Richardson's, Blue Anchor, Church- street, on Thursday, Sept 10. to witness a further deposit for this match. King was present, but Heenan did not show. There was no betting, and all passed off quietly. The next deposit of £ 50 a side is to be made at Jemmy Welsh's, Griffin, Church- street, Borough, on Thursday. Sept 24. I THE CHAMPIONSHIP. MACE AND RYALL.— We have to acknowledge a further deposit from each of these men of £ 10, besides £ 10 each, making the two previous deposits into £ 10 a side. The next deposit of £ 10 a side must be paid to us on Friday, Sept 18, and all the succeeding de- posits are to be £ 10 each until the last, which is to be £ 20 aside. FIGHT FOR TUESDAY. PETER MOKEIS AND MOEEIS ROBERTS, £ 100 A SIDE.— This important match takes place on the home circuit on Tuesday, Sept 15, at catch weight, and is looked forward to with great interest by the BrummagemFancy. Peter Morris is considered about the best lad out at 8st, and his last battle was with Young Holden whom he defeated. Morris Roberts used to fight at about 8st 6lb, but having now for some years given up the Ring for the bar, will scarcely come within that weight. He has not fought since 1855, when he defeated Young Harrington, but his friends are very confident that his superior weight and strength will prove too much for the activity and science of the young one. Roberts will be at his own house, the Leopard, Dale End, this evening. Sept 13, and on Monday, Sept 14, will take up his quarters at Bob Travers's, Sun and Thirteen Cantons, Castle- street. Peter Morris will this evening. Sept 13, arrive at Bob Brettle's, White Lion, Digbeth, and on Monday, Sept 14, will adjourn to Mr Richardson's, Blue Anchor, Church- street, and at each of these houses the fixture will be made known. Billy Duncan will look after a few ring keepers on the ground, who will divide whatever may be realised between them, so that it will be to their own interests to keep a good ring. BENDOFF AND AUSTRALIAN JACKSON.— These men fought on Tuesday, Sept 8, on the home circuit, for £ 10 a side, at 12st. There were in the whole 30 rounds, in 58min, when the Australian had the battle decided against him, owing to holding his man below the waist in attempting to throw him. Bendoff had the best of the light from the commencement. He gained the two first events, bloodand knock down, early in the battle. In science Bendoft", who, it may be stated, was much the bigger man, proved infinitely superior to his antagonist. Australian Jackson had to be repeatedly cautioned by the referee, and, from the specimen he gave of his pretensions on the present occasion, it is not likely he will ever gain distinction as a fistic operator. The money is to be given to Bendoff, at J. Green's, Blue Anchor, Middlesex- street, on Tuesday. FIGHT BETWEEN HARRY HEYWOOD AND BILL FERGUSON.— The tournay between Harry Heywood of Salford and Bill Fergu- son of the same borough, at catch weight, in which the latter staked £ 12 to Hey wood's £ 10, came off on Tuesday, Sept 8, in the presence of upwards of 500 admirers of the fistic art. The hamlet of Astley, about eight miles from Manchester, was the locale se- lected. The betting at start was 6 to 4 on Ferguson, but when the fight had progressed for about a quarter of an hour. 3 and 4 to 1 was offered on him. During the contest a considerable quantity of " claret" was spilt, Ferguson, in most of the bouts, landing heavily on the nasal organ of his opponent. After 23 rounds, which occupied 40 minutes, had been gallantly fought, Heywood cried " Hold, enough!" and Ferguson was hailed the victor. The next engagement of the winner is against Christy Coleman of Manchester, at catch weight, for £ 25 a side, on Nov 17, a deposit of £ 2 10s each for which match is to be staked at Bill Brown's, Railway Inn, Greengate, 8alford, on Sept 14. FIGHT FOR £ 20 BETWEEN WARD AND LAVERICK, AT 7ST.— This affair was brought to a satisfactory conclusion on Wednes- day, Sept 9, in favour of Ward, after fighting 31 rounds, which lasted 47min. The winner is very clever, having fought throughout with only one hand, owing to an injury received while training. He was in splendid condition, and was backed by Mr Gill, from the Coach and Horses, Mytongate, Hull. He is only 18 years of age, and stands about 4ft llin high. The weigh- ing took place at Ted Brown's, the Leeds Arms, Hull, the night previous to the fight. Ward was seconded by Charley Ball and King Ostler of Norwich. Laverick was not in first- rate trim; he is 29 years of age, and was backed from the Clarence Hotel, Brook- street, Hull. Andy Godfrey and Barney Fisher seconded him. THE LATE FIGHT BETWEEN MACE AND GOSS.— On Tuesday a large number of ring goers attended at Richardson's, Blue Anchor, Church- street, to witness the handingover of the stakes in the late match to Mace, but they were doomed to return as wise as they came seeing that the victor was not present to receive his earnings a circumstance we never remember before in an important match. His only excuse appears to be that he thought that Mr Richardson could do as well without him. Whether he thinks this course is likely to do him good we know not, but of this we are certain, it caused great disappointment to many of his friends and patrons who had assembled to greet him, and who went away expressing anything but gratification at his absence. Goss was present and received a present of £ 5 from Mr Richardson, to which was added about £ 6 collected in the room as some consola- tion for his defeat, but as yet the loser has not received the customary present from the winner. We hope, however, this may yet turn up. WALKER AND WYNES.— Walker writes to us that he, and not Wyues, is entitled to the forfeit in this match, because Wynes sent his money to us instead of to a public- house in Liverpool. We have only to repeat a statement made three weeks back to the effect that we take no notice of agreements binding men to stake at public- houses. So long as the money is in our hands by Friday it is sufficient. We warned Walker at the time we made this state- ment that he would do well to send his money to our office for each deposit, and as he has not accepted the warning and com- plied with the terms he has clearly forfeited. The money shall be sent to Wynes. DILLON AND HILL.— We have been requested to state that Dillon never fought and defeated Jem Hill of Chelsea. An error appeared in our account of the mill between Dillon and Travers, which has led to some discussion on this subject, which we wish at once to set right. REARDONAND ROOKE.— Weare sorry to say| this matchhas ended in a forfeit on the part of Rooke. It. seems a deposit should have been sent to us on Friday week, but Rooke's money was not forth- coming, through a mistake on the part of his London friends. Mr Tupper called this week on his behalf to make good the deficiency, but unfortunately for him Reardon had ascertained that Rooke's money was not staked, and he therefore has insisted upon his pound of flesh. Mr Tupper says he asked us to be answerable should Rooke at any time be deficient, but we have no recollection of the circumstance, and indeed do not think it likely we should have undertaken the respon- sibility, as we found some time back that the practice would not answer, and invariably led to mistakes. We may once more state that we cannot, under any circumstances, render ourselves responsible for deposits in any matches whatever. We regret that so interesting an event should go off in such an unsatisfactory way, and trust that Reardon may be persuaded to forego some portion of the money, and go on with the match. For ourselves, how- ever, we are powerless in the matter. Since we wrote the above we hear that the friends of Rooke have offered Reardon £ 20 to forego the forfeit, which he has refused to accept. Of course he was not bound to make any terms, but it strikes us that under the circumstances he might have allowed alittle law to Rooke, who has now to suffer for the forgetfulness or negligence of his friends, and thus lose £ 20 of his own money. BROWN AND KELLY.— We are glad to find that these men are now in strict training, and that both are anxious to bring off their match in the London Ring. It may be remembered that a fort- night back we fixed the 21st inst for the decision of the match. It was our impression at the time of making this order that the 21st was a Tuesday, instead of which it is a Monday. If the men are willing we should prefer the match taking place on the Tues- day, the 22d, as that day is more convenient to us, and also to the ring going public in general. If there is any objection, however, on either side we must, of course, abide by the original day. Brown is training at Mr Woody's at Garratt- lane, and Tom Kelly is doing work in his own district near Bradford. BURGESS AND SMITH.— This match has every appearance of being brought to a successful termination— the whole of the money being posted— and the ceremoney of weighiug takes place on Monday, Sapt 14, at twelve o'clock precisely, at the house ol Jem Ciarke, Houghton Abbey, Houghton, where every informa- tion can be obtained. Those desirous of being present at the fight may receive the " griffin" from Jem Clarke, Topper Brown, Caledonian Vaults, Nay'ior- street; Tom Walton, Lifeboat House, Roberts, and other sporting houses. W. HOITT AND MIC MAGIN.— These Birmingham men are marched at catch weight, for £ 10, to come off on Sept 29. A further deposit must be made on Monday, 8ept 14, at Tootell's, the Queen's Head, Howard's- place. J Welsh stakeholder. HARDINGE AND HACKETT.— The match at 7st 61b, for £ 15 a side, between these men is going on. They make a further de- posit of £ 2 a side at Spratt's, Britannia Inn, Lancaster- street, Birmingham, on Monday, Sept 14. The money, £ 5 a side, is now down on behalf of the fight be- tween Young Nixery and Hayes; to come off in the same ring as Burgess and Smith. BALDOCK AND GANNON.— These men have once more staked £ 5 each, and must repeat the performance on Friday, Sept IS, at our office. MAESDEN AND COOPER'S MAN.— Again do we acknowledge £ 2 10s a side between these men, who must continue to stake £ 2 10s each weekly. POTTSAND RICHARDS.— Thesemen have staked £ 4each, making £ 5 a side down. They must send £ 5 a side on Wednesday week, to our office. YOUNG DREW AND GODFREY.— This match is off, Drew having forfeited. MORRIS AND TYSON.— These men must bring £ 5 a side next week. EVANS AND ISAC.— We have received £ 1 a side from these lads, who are to send £ 1 each on Friday, Sept 18. FUKZE AND NAPPER.— For this affair we have again received £ 2 10s each, and expect like deposits next Friday. We cannot insert challenges from unknown men unless pro- perly authenticated. Neither can we in future insert acceptances of challenges where no address is given by the challenger, unless uuder peculiar circumstances. MACE AND Goss.— In our last we stated that a backer of Joe Goss had posted £ 10 with us to match him against any man in England at lOst 101b, for any sum up to £ 1,000 a side. We have this week received £ 10 from Jem Mace to cover the £ 10, and Mace requests us to say that if Goss really means business he will meet him at our office at any time he likes, to draw articles. We fear we have led Mace into error here, as we are informed that by mis- take we set Goss's weight at lOst 101b instead of lOst 81b, which was the weight named by his backer. Harry Allen of Birmingham is surprised that Posh Price should challenge him at lOst 121b, when he knows he is matched with Coyne, and that his weight is 9st 121b; but win or lose with Coyne, he will make a match at 9st 121b, and Price can be 10st 41b, to fight for from £ 25 up to £ 100 a side. If Price means business, and not bouncing, he can be on by calling at Mr White's, George and Dragon, Barr- street, St George's. YOUNG BROOME AND Goss.— Young Broome has staked £ 9 in our hands, and informed us that £ 1 a side is down in Nat Lang- ham's hands to make a match with Joe Goss according to his challenge, for £ 100 a side. Goss has covered the £ 9, and they are to meet on Thursday, Sept 17, at Mr Wallace's, Angel and Crown, Sheddon- street, Regent- street, to draw articles. Young Welsh will make a match with Hicken of Wolverhamp- ton at 8st 61b, for £ 25 a side, or any other man can be on at the same terms. Welsh has left a deposit of £ 2 at our office, and if Hicken will cover that amount, and send articles to Jemmy Welsh's, the Borough; or to Mr Clarke's, Button- street, Clerken- well, the match can be made. G. Henley, not hearing from Young Crutchley, will make a match with any one in the world at 9st 21b. not particular to a pound, for £ 50 a side. Money ready at Dan Collins's, Ship, Long- lane, Bermondsey, or a deposit at Bell's Life will ensure a match. Jerry Hawks will fight young Tierny, or MicM'Cabe of Birming- ham at 7st 121b, for £ 15 or £ 25 a side ; or Jem Fox can ensure a match on the same terms ; or Young Collins or Jemmy Norton at 8st 41b. Money ready at Mr Saunders's, the Greyhound, Webber- row, Waterloo- road. Young Dooley will fight Nobby Porter, according to his chal- lenge, for any sum from £ 10 upwards. He can be on at once by leaving a deposit at Bell's Life office, and call at the Antigallican and Star on Monday night, Sept 14. Patsy Reardon has left £ 10 in our hands to make a match with any man in the world at lOst 21b. The match can be made by covering the money and leaving articles for Roeke at Mr Ward's, Ironfounders' Arms, Greenwich. Jack Smith of Portsmouth will fight Bandoff or Burgess, for £ 25 or £ 50 a side, catch weight. Money ready on Tuesday even- ing, 8ept 15, at Hicks's, King's Arms, Whitechapel- road; or a de- posit sent to Bell's Life will ensure a match. Furze has left £ 1 with us to fight Jemmy Norton ( win or lose his match) in six weeks after the fight with Napper, for not less than £ 15 a side, and Jemmy can be accommodated, if he likes, for £ 100 a side, at catch weight. The match can be made by the signing of articles at Jem Mace's, Old King Jehn, Holy well- lane, Shoreditch, on Tuesday night. Sept 15. Jack Hartley will fight Jerrv Hawkes at 7st 101b or Fox of Birmingham, at 7st 121b, for £ 25 or £ 50 a side. Either man leav- ing a deposit, at Bell's Life and sending articles to Jack Hicks's, Whitechapel, will insure a match. Young Callis will make a match with Billy Waldock of Pad- dington, for £ 10 aside, to fight in the same ring as Tyson and Morris. A march can be made on Monday night, Sept 14, at Mr George's, the Duke of York, Wharf- road, Paddington. Jerry Regan of the Borough will fight Bandoff for £ 10 or £ 15 a side. A match can be made on Tuesday evening. Sept 15, at Mr Robert's, the Antigallican and Star, Tooley- street, Bermondsey. Young Jones will fight Hickin of Wolverhamptun at catch weight, for £ 25 a side, to fight in a fortnight, from the first de- posit. Money ready any night next week, at Nat Langham's. W. Rogers ( alias Toffey) of Birmingham will fight J. Clark ( Nobby), at catch weight, from £ 15 to £ 25 a side. Money ready ac M. Brown's, Hen and Chickens, Lower Dartmouth- street. JOINT BENEFIT FOR MACE AND Goss.— All will be pleased to hear that Jem Mace and Joe Goss take a joint benefit on Monday, Sept 21, at Hackney Wick, when the general public will thus have an opportunity of seeing these celebrated men in " friendly fellowship" fight their battle again. Both Heenan and King will attend. The first of both London and provincial Fancy will set- to. Young Lead ( Jem Mace's Little Wonder), who lately defeated Holden, will take a sparring benefit on Tuesday, Sept 15, at Mr Richardson's, Blue Anchor, Church- street, Shoreditch. Young Lead and Holden will fight their battle over again for the wind- up. ADVERTISEMENTS. Young Reed, professor of the noble art of self- defence, at the Risinc Sun, Air- sireet, Piccadilly, gives private lessons daily from twelve till five, and from eight till ten in the evening. Gloves and every requisite provided. Gentlemen attended at their own resi dences. Gloves, dumb bells, and all gymastic implements for- warded to any part of the United Kingdom on receipt of a re- mittance. Young Reed can also be heard of at Owen Swift's, Tichborne- street, Haymarket. THE GRAND BENEFIT FOR BILL RYALL ON MONDAY-, SEPT 14, AT HACKNEY WICK.— Theever- generoui London Fancy, who are always ready to rally round a plucky man— a man that comes forth boldly from the provinces and challenges for the highest name and the very crowning point of pugilistic honours, videlicet the Champion Belt of England— will give support to his benefit on Monday, Sept 14, at the famed sporting rendezvous of Hackney Wick. Great and deserved as has been the success of late in such displays, the one on Monday, Sept 14, ought to outshine all others, if the programme set down be taken into consideration. Apart from Ryall's excellent character, and the hearty welcome he always gives to London sporting men of " every degree" who may visit his house in Birmingham, he, with the true modesty of a brave man, " holds to his own" in his challenge to thetriumphant Jem Mace, and since the latter's defeat of the gallant Goss, is still more determined to stand the issue of his cartel for Dec 1. The appeal, therefore, for such a man is not needed, only to remind the general public of the rich treat in store on the occasion of the mark of respect to be given to the " gallant Brum" on Monday, Sept 14. In the vast curriculum, one and all of the town cele- brities will either show or set to:— Langham, Johnny Walker, Keene, Brovrn, Reardon, the Shaws, the Tylers, Brown, Cobley, Jemmy Welsh, Crockett, Baldock, Gannon, Travers, Dillon, & c; while the whole of the provincial stars will be there; and the renowned Bob Brettle wishes us to state that he will spar specially for his " big'un," to cheer him on in the great struggle before him. Heenan will positively show, and his lieutenant, Young Broome, by particular desire, will wind- up with Ryall. Being the day before the mill between Peter Morris and Morris Roberts, both will pay their devoirs within the ring, and Rooke, Holden, Tom Cooper's Big'un ( the Giant O'Baldwin), attend, as well as the " coming man," Marsden. [ The great race — Andrews and Brunell— will be found under the Pedestrian head, to come off same day, making an afternoon sport even un- surpassed at Hackney Wick.] Ryall has arrived at Tupper's in Long- acre, where his tickets can be had ; he is accompanied by raany country friends. It is hoped that this much- respected man, as well as the bold aspirant for the Championship, may have what he so richly deserves, a bumper at Hackney Wick, on Monday, Sept 14. THE BLUE ANCHOR, CHURCH- STREET, SHOREDITCH.— The proprietor, Mr W. Richardson, wishes to state that he is not to blame for Mace not being present on Tuesday, Sept 8, as pro- mised, but he ( Mr Richardson) wishes to thank all who supported him, and to assure his patrons that it will ever be his earnest desire to cater well, whether for sport or their comfort. On Monday, 8ept 14, the renowned Bob Brettle will take the chair in the grand saloon, the largest in London, when the famed vocalists will attend, and being the night before the mill between Roberts and Morris, both will show, as well as the provincial celebrities, who will arrive after Ryall's benefit at Hackney Wick. Grand sparring every Saturday, conducted by George Crockett, acknow- ledged the most scientific delineator of the day, aided by first- rates and aspirants, all of whom will set- to in proper costume in a regular roped ring, and can be witnessed in ease and comfort as in a nobleman's drawing- room. Crockett will give his attend- ance, at any time, and any place, on a letter being addressed as above. Jemmy Shaw has returned from a provincial tour in company with his able trainer, Professor John Barry, also his old friend little Jacko, covered with glory and scars. Jemmy speaks in the highest terms of his provincial friends, also their many handsome pre- sents, prizes, & c, which must be seen at the bar of his Old Queen's Head Tavern, Crown- court, Windmill- street, Haymarket, any time, day or evening, free to all. The public sparringis carried on as usual with spirit every Saturday aud Monday evening. Harmonic soiree on Wednesday, Sept 16, when the lovers of song are so- licited. The dog show this evening, Sept 13, promises to be very numerous, as several provincials have promised to attend, and show some rare specimen of little beauties. BOB TRAVERS, THE SUN AND THIRTEEN CANTONS, CASTLE- STREET, LEICESTER- SQUARE.— Bob is always at home to wel- come all those who may favour him with a call, and also to give every information on all forthcoming events. Harmony every Wednesday evening in the large room. On Wednesday, Sept. 16, the chair will be taken by Young Broome, faced by Mr Ned, assisted by first- rate talent. Public sparring on Monday and Saturday, under the superintendence of Young Jones and Harry Hawks. Private lessons given by Bob himself in the saloon from twelve till three, and from five till nine. Terms: Twelve lessons for two guineas, or a single lesson for 5s. Young Broome can be heard of at Bob Travers's. Of all the pugilistic drums in and out of London, there is none can surpass, and few can equal, Morris Roberts's, the Leopard, Dale End, Birmingham. The refreshing drinks of every descrip- tion are of the first quality; the host and hostess are ever cour- teous and obliging. Morris will be at home this day, Saturday, Sept 12, and also on the 13th, to welcome his friends, and will also be glad if those gentlemen who promised him money would for- ward it, as it would just be in time. M. R.' s splendid boxing- room is thrown open to the public every Saturday and Monday, admission free, conducted by Morris, assisted by Jack Mack.— N. B.

LATE CONTEST BETWEEN DILLON AND TRAVERS.— On Satur day, Sept 5, Bob Travers, Alec Keene, Jno. Hicks, Fred Oliver ( the commissary), and George Brown appeared before the sitting ma- gistrate at the Town Hall, Oxford, charged with committing a breach of the peace in that county, arising out of the late pugilis- tic encounter between Dillon and Travers for £ 400. The magis- trate, taking into consideration the prompt manner in which the defendants had put in an appearance to the summonses, thereby showing they had no desire to evade the law, considered it suffi- cient to bind them over in their own recognisances of £ 10 each to appear ( if called on) at the next Quarter Sessions to answer any indictment that might be preferred against them by the solicitor for the county. Nat Langhatn, R. Webb, James Dillon, and Bos Tyler, who likewise had summonses served upon them, failed to appear. It being represented to the magistrate their not doing so was out of no disrespect to the bench, a week's further grace has been allowed, it being added that if they failed to surrender on Saturday, Sept 12, to answer the charge, warrants would be issued for their apprehension.

Lawrence of the City and Mr J. Bloxham of the West End. The betting was 6 to 4 on Lawrence, who brought to grief 17 birds in splendid style, the majority being killed with the first barrel. Mr Bloxham only scored 13 out of his 21 birds. Thus Mr Lawrence won by four birds. The winner shot with a breech loader made by Messrs Boss and Co, of St James's- street, which proved an extraordinary killer at long dis- tances.

LILLIE ARMS, OLD BROMPTON — On Saturday, Sept 5, these grounds were remarkably well attended by the admirers of the trigger, although many of the subscribers were absent partridge shooting. Several sweepstakes took place both at pigeons and sparrows, the principal winners being Messrs Marsh, Smith, Boxall, and A. A. The weather was very unfavourable for the sports, which terminated rather early through the rain pouring down in torrents. On Monday, Sept 7, the attendance was small but select, and a great many birds were shot at for practice, in order to get into form for the great handicap on Sept 21. No sweepstakes, however, came off, but two matches for a small stake took place. The contests were of no importance, for almost all Offer's blue rocks gave them the double. Bill Page, the celebrated pigeon shot, of the Grapes, Gerrard- street, 8oho, since his installation as maitre d'hotel, declines to speak of his own renown as a marksman in the field, believing that a " bird in hand is always worth two in a bush ;" and liafing now but one object to aim at, namely, the supplying of the best, articles in the shape of wines, spirits, liquors, & c, at a reasonable tariff, he hopes to secure oontinued success by the support of his friends and customers. On the premises are a magnificei. it billiard- room, with an elegantly fitted conservatory, and a compact saloon for chit- chat. Page has matched himself to shoot, with Mr Beale, for £ 100 a side, at 100 sparrows each, Page giving Mr Beale four dead birds. Either party failing to attend at the Grapes on the 8th October, to enter into final arrangements, to forfeit £ 5. On Monday, Sept 14. at Mr W.

Boothroyd, of the Hyde Park Grounds, Sheffield, who gave £ 5, came off at Old Tratford, near Manchester, on Monday, 8ept 7. In consequence of the unfavourable weather, heavy showers occa- sionally falling and the wind blowing almost a gale, the attend- ance of spectators was not numerous. The entries numbered 23, but only 20 competed, and at the conclusion of the sport the first prize was awarded to Mr J. Shepherd of Blackley, near Manches- ter, who killed the whole of his birds. The pigeons, which were supplied by Mr Boothroyd, were the best blue rocks. To be shot for, on Tuesday, Sept 22, at Mr J.

It appears that since the night of the 3d of Sept Mr Hugh Dolley Morris, aged about 22 years, was missing, and throughout the metropolis the walls were placarded with descriptions of him, and the police had made in- quiries after him in every direction. He could nowhere be found. On Wednesday, however, his body was found floating in the Thair. es, off the St Katharine's Docks. It was removed te the Aldgate dead- house, and upon examination marks of ill- usage were found upon the face and body. There was no money or other property found in his pockets, but the deceased was stated to have been in comparatively good circumstances, and not to have been in the least likely to have committed self- destruction. It has been ascertained that at midnight on the previous Thurs- day Mr Morris was in Arthur street East, near London Bridge, talking to a female, and he was never after seen alive. He had been just previously standing with a man near the same spot, but whether the woman and the man were connected is not precisely known. There appears to be no doubt that the deceased was robbed, and the fact of injuries being found on the face and head would indicate that he was robbed with violence. Such an out- rage could hardly have taken place, even at midnight, in so open a spot, and therefore the inference is that the female must have enticed him down the steps to the river side, where the crime might have been accomplished without observation. Who the female was has not as yet been ascertained. DESTRUCTIVE HAIL STORM.— One of the most violent and de- structive hail storms known for a long series of years occurred a little before midnight on Wednesday last, in the district of Read- ing. The storm appears to have commenced in the neighbour- hood of East Ilsley, in Berkshire, and then to have taken a north- easterly direction, doing in its progress an almost incalculable amount of mischief. The lightning was forked, and the flashes so vivid that the whole country around was lighted up, presenting a scene of awful grandeur ; and the crackling thunder which fol- lowed was quite terrific, arousing many from their slumbers, and producing quite an electrical effect upon them. At Compton there were 11 sheep killed by lightning in a flock belonging to Mr John Brown. The storm was heavy at Aldworth, beating down the growing crops of barley, bruising and breaking off'the ears, and thrashing the corn cut and lying in swathes in the field. Messrs Hammond, Godfrey, and others, are sufferers to a consi- derable extent from injury to corn, but fortunately some of them were insured in the Royal Farmers' Office. At Basildon the storm was equally violent, but great progress has been made in the harvest, so that there were only barley and oats in the field un- earned. Of the uncut barley and oat crop there is scarcely a vestige left that will pay for the trouble of mowing and carrying, so much has it been knocked about. The storm, or rather tempest— for such it really was— passed on over the Oxfordshire hills, and continued to rage with fearful violence. The storm was felt with rather less severity in the home counties, but we have not heard of any very serious damage being inflicted. EXPLOSION AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE GAS WORKS.— On Wed- nesday morning, at an early hour, an explosion took place on the premises belonging to the Crystal Palace Gas Company, at Lower Sydenham. A mounted police officer was at once despatched to London for the aid of the brigade, but during the interval the " regulation- house,'' a building about 20 feet long and 13 feet, wide, was blown into fragments, and the pieces of timber set in flames. The parish engine and the hose- reel were called into requisition, and the fire was happily prevented from reaching the main works, but it could not be extinguished until the " regulation house" was destroyed by fire and the force of the explosion. It is understood that no person was injured by the occurrence. 8 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, SEPTEMBER 13, 1863. age st lb Dictator 5.. 9 7 Asteroid 5.. 9 7 Oldminster .... 5.. 8 11 Wingrave 4.. 8 11 Stradella 4.. 8 10 Bally Edmond.. 5., 8 10 Souvenir 5.. 8 9 Zetland.

LIVERPOOL INTERNATIONAL TROTTING RACES. If the large attendance of the patrons and admirers of trotting, and of the sporting public, on Aintree Race Course, on Thursday, is a criterion of the appreciation of trotting, this meeting must be characterised as highly successful. The course was in good order, and a bright sun and a gentle breeze, combined with efficient ar- rangements, opened this international meeting under favourable auspices. For the Aintree Stakes Mr Bastien's well- known old Jackey was considered the best in the field, and some money was laid out upon him. For the Grand International Kanger was the great gun, and he proved worthy the confidence reposed in him. The Croxteth Stakes were formally assigned to Jessie, who was backed to a large amount, but suffered defeat at the hands of Fanny, apace- going, travelling- looking animal; Black- bird is a thick- made, well- formed horse, with legs put on right, and ability to use them. The following were the conditions:— Horses 15 hands 2in high, or higher, to carry 12st, and an abate ment of 71b for every inch belsw that height; horses may go either under saddle, or in harness, and the weights apply to both riders and drivers ; in case of three different horses in succession winning each one heat all other horses will be excluded from that race, and the three winners start for a decisive heat; the winner of all decisive heats to be the winner of the race, and the second in all decisive heats to be considered as second in the race, and receive his stake ; three horses, the property of different owners, to start for each race, or the money advertised to be added will not be given, unless by express consent of the committee; win- ners not to start for subsequent races, except in the Derby Stakes and the Residuary Stakes ; all matters of detail and disputes to be settled by the committee of management, whose decision shall be final. To close and name to the secretary, at Mr Stent's, Talbot Hotel, Great Charlotte- street, Liverpool, on or before Wednesday, Sept 2, at 10 o'clock p. m.

Nancy having de- feated Lincoln in a match a short time since in a spin of three miles, was made the favourite at 6 to 4. They came to the scratch in light dogcarts, and after three failures they got off upon very equal terms; Lincoln, however, soon showed a trifle in advance and continued so for nearly two miles, when the mare headed him. Both had now the steam put on to high pressure and bounded over magnificently, and at the third mile there was not a length between them, although Wmcy was still leading; she, however shied at some timber on the roadside and broke badly, when Lincoln deprived her of the i lead, which he kept until within a quarter of a mile of the finish, when Nancy, who had gradually made up her lost ground, dashed by him in splendid stvle, and won rather cleverly by thirty yards, completing the distance in 17min 12sec. The winner stands nearly 15 hands 2 inches high, and is by Alarm out of a half bred mare. On Friday, Sept 4, a match came off at the Copenhagen Grounds, Newton Heath, near Manchester, for £ 25 a side, in heats, distance one mile. The animals engaged were Mr Hague's Bobby, of Oldham, list ( piloted by Partington), and Mr Cher- rington's Shropshire Lass, 9st 71b ( ridden by Thompson). The betting at starting was 5 to 2 on Bobby, who won the first heat by upwards of thirty lengths; and he also carried off the second easily; Shropshire Lass, who had broken, galloping first past the post. Mr Hayes, the proprietor of the grounds, filled the office of judge. ' COURSING. COURSING FIXTURES FOR 1863. SEPTEMBER. PLACE. COCNTY. JUDGE. Monasterevan Club.... Ireland Mr R.

SEPT 10.— It is many years since the once- celebrated cricketing county— Hampshire— collected together their strength to meet another county on their own ground ; this, we are glad to record, took place on the Antelope Ground, Southampton, on Thursday, Sept 10, under the management of a committee of gentlemen, who, by their excellent arrangements, we hope will succeed in again establishing the game on its original footing. The weather bore somewhat of a threatening appearance, and between one and two o'clock rain interfered with the game for? a short time. The afternoon, however, proved fine, and there was an excellent assemblage in attendance. The accommodation on the ground was flrst- rate, in fact, all arrangements were carried out in a manner deserving of the highest praise. Surrey won the toss, and the ground being dead, put in their opponents. Caffyn and Griffith started as bowlers, the willow being handled by Southerton and Mr Lucas; the former slipped, and was bowled ; total 5 runs. Mr Fredericks followed, and commenced with two threes, a drive, and an overthrow, when the wicket keeper sent Mr Lucas away. Mr Maturin ran up the score to 36, when Fredericks ran himself out. Mr G. M. Ede followed, and was soon well caught in the slip by Julius with one hand. Maturin played a rattling hitting innings of 27, composed of six threes ( cuts and drives), three twos, & c. The fourth and fifth wickets fell for 50 runs. The sixth ( Mr Frere's) caused a total of 79, when he was caught long on off Mr Miller, who had gone at Caffyn's end ; his figures were two threes ( square leg- hit and a drive), three twos, and singles. Nothing of importance afterwards occurred, singles only being scored, until Mr Eccles and " Our Sam ( 8. Tubb, a young professional left- handed bowler)" came together, and these two remained so as to bring Caffyn on at Mr Miller's and Sewell at Griffith's end. Sewell was " hit by Tubb for three, when another run out took place. Mr Eccles played well for 18, composed of a four ( drive from Griffith), a three, two twos, and singles. Had the chances, however, been taken the two last would not have increased the score from 95 to 123 ; indeed the betting was against the 100 being accomplished. It is a singular coincidence that the two last men during the past season have in so many instances made long scores. The innings terminated at five o'clock. Jupp and Humphrey were sent to the wickets to the bowling of Mr Prere and Tubb. Jupp made two drives for twos, and was caught in the slip, and thus the first wicket fell for 11 runs. Stephenson followed, and the stumps were shortly after drawn— total 14. Time 5: 45. On Friday the play was resumed at twelve o'clock. Stephenson and Humphrey resumed their places to the bowling of Tubb and Mr Frere. Mr 8tewart kept wicket in excellent form. The wea- ther was all that a cricketer could desire, and a goodly sprinkle attended. The two bats continued in, and brought Mr Maturin on at Tubb's end— total 34. The bowling of Mr Frere was excel- lent. When 44 runs were scored. Mr E. L. Ede went on with the slows at Mr Frere's end, and in his second over, Humphrey was stumped for 24, by a three ( drive from Frere), five twos, and singles; 46 for two wickets. Griffith followed, and the slows got fearfully " peppered" by both bats. The telegraph soon announced 70, and Mr Eccles's slow was substituted for Mr Ede. In his third over ( all maidens) he gave Griffith a very short pitched ball, which he might have put where he pleased, but, he very kindly offered it to the bowler, which was ac- cepted. Griffith contributed 17 by a three, three twos, and singles; total 75 for three wickets. Mortloek followed, but did not stop long, running in at the slows to be " fatalised ;" total 77. Caffyn came, and was caught in the slip; total 80, for five wickets. Stephenson was joined by Julius, who immediately commenced hitting game, and was missed at long square leg. Stephenson was here got rid of by one of the finest catches ever seen; six wickets down for 85. The game had now assumed a differentaspect, and the Hampshire gentlemen appeared in high glee, and far more so when Lockyer ( had at " his own" game) and Sewell were dis- posed of, for the respective totals of 86 and 91! Julius and Mudie increased the total to 98, when the dinner bell rang, time two o'clock. Upon the resumption of the game C; esar and Mudie in- creased the total to 108, when another " case'' occurred at short- leg. Julie's 20 was composed of two threes, two twos, & c. Mr Miller was the last, and the two increased the score to within two runs of their opponents' innings, Mr Miller contributing 11, by a square leg- hit from Eccles for three, and a drive from him for two, & c. Mudie's ( not out) 7 were all singles. The slow bowling of Mr Eccles was very " foxy," and difficult to play. The innings was concluded at a quarter to four o'clock. Hants sent to the wickets Mr Lucas and Tubb, to the bowling of Caffyn and Griffith. Maidens only were bowled, consequently the play was slow; seven were bowled in succession, and out of 18 overs 12 were maidens, and 8 runs only scored. Caffyn bowled eight in succession, when Tubb drove him for three. Eventually the slows of Griffith disturbed Lucas's timber; total 14 runs. Mr Frederick was well caught at longmid- on by Stephenson, making, in quick time, two threes and a two ( a drive, leg- hit, and a cut); two wickets thus fell for 27 runs. Tubb, an unexpected bat of promise, played well; his 14 comprised a three, two twos, and singles; his, the third wicket, went for 3- 3. Mr Maturin, the fourth wicket, fell for 37 runs, and made room for the hon sec, Mr G. M. Ede, but the next wicket ( Willmore's) went without altering the total, as did also the sixth. The stumps were drawn with a total of 44 for the loss of seven wickets, or 46 on. On Sa- turday the play was resumed, and resulted in Surrey winning, with four wickets to go down.

GENTLEMEN v PLAYERS OF WARWICKSHIRE. This match was played at Rugby on Sept 7 and 8, and ended in favour of the Gentlemen by 79 runs, and was finished only eight minutes before the time fixed for drawing the stumps. Mr Willes took the place of Mr Ash, who was unable to play for the Gentle- men from illness|; and the Players lost the services of Hilton, who had an engagement at Warwick for the season, and who from the same reason was prevented playing, but the strength of the county on both sides was well represented. From the deadness of the ground the bowling had the best of it, and barring a few chances missed, the fielding was first- rate. The changes in the game were many, and the interest of the match was kept up throughout. Score: GENTLEMEN. 1st inn 2d inn E. Waller, c and b Diver 2 b Diver 4 D.

Forsyth. In the second innings of the World Gataker made a good innings ( though he ought to have been caught early), and was well seconded by Rev F. Ponsonby.

The first prize given by Mr Colmore for rearing puppies was awarded to Mr Sadler, whose best cares were bestowed on Novelty, a daughter of Lord Yarborough's Nathan and Primrose. The second prize to Mr J. Handy, for Coutest, son of Lord Fitzhardinge's Chieftain and Arrogant. Willing, gratefully respsnding to the kind attentions of Mr Brookes's household, was pronounced worthy of the third honours. Her paternity likewise goes back to Berkeley and Brocklesby celebrities, through Lord Fitzhardinge's Ottoman, her sire, and Lord Yarborough's Orator, her grandsire. They com- menced cub hunting on the last day in August, but have not found the " wild animals" so numerous as was anticipated; many are doubtless still enjoying their summer quarters in the open. The Ludlow Hounds commenced on the 21st of August, and have found plenty of foxes, one of which, with the talented as- sistance of their new huntsman, George Hills, they have tasted on an average of each day's hunting. The young hounds go to work bravely. They had a tremendous day on the 2d of this month, between the Clee Hills and Cleosiury Mortimer, a truly sporting country, carrying a good scent, and frequented by a rare breed of stout foxes. The Essex Union, rejoicing in a very industrious, good pack of hounds, with eighteen couples of recruits, opened their campaign on the 26th August, since which they have found plenty of cubs, remarkable for their stoutness, five brace of which the hounds have tasted. The country is acknowledged to be favoured as re- gards its scenting capabilities, and this season, on the whole, it has been good. KNUR AND SPELL— Mr J. Kellett of Low Moor has re- ceived articles and £ 5 a side for a match, for £ 15 a side, between A.

GYMNASTICS FOR GENTLEMEN.— It may be useful to volunteers to know ( for we have had several inquiries on the subject of gym- nasiums) that leave has been granted to the Civil Service, and, we believe, some other corps to practice at the St John's Wood Bar- racks, under the instruction of Sergeant Elliot, of the Scots Fusi lier Guards, and that probably the permission would be extended to others. There are two classes for gentlemen, on Thursdays and Mondays, from five to eight o'clock, when every kind of athletic exercise is taught. THE STEAM RAMS IN THE MERSEY.— Some doubt has been cast upon the statement which we made a few days ago with reference to the steam rams El Monastir and El Tousson, in course of construction at Mr Laird's yard. We can only repeat our cer- tainty of its accuracy. The Government has given notice to the builder that the ships will not be allowed to leave the Mersey, and if it is found that their construction is contrary to the terms of the Foreign Enlistment Act, they will be seized as violating its provisions.— Morning Post. HEALTH OF LONDON.— The deaths in the week ending Sept 5 were 1,232, the lowest number returned since the beginning of July. The chief decrease in the mortality arose from diarrhoea, which fell from 181 to 123; whilst the deaths from small- pox, scarlatina, diphtheria, whooping- cough, and typhus, were about the same as in the previous week. The births in the week were 925 boys and 938 girls— total 1,863, LATEST INTELLIGENCE. BELL'S LIFE OFFICE, Saturday Night, 12 o'clock. LATEST FROM AMERICA, REUTER'S TELEGRAMS. QUEENSTOWN, SEPT 12.

There is a considerable Confederate force north of the Rappahannock below Fredericksburg. The Confederate cavalry have made demonstrations at various points along the Potomac. It was reported this afternoon that General Stuart had crossed into Maryland for another raid. The absence of further news from Charlston, creates an un. favourable impression. Admiral Dahlgrcn is reported to be sick. A formidable expedition is about to leave New Orleans for Mobile or Texas. General Blunt crossed the Arkansas river on the 23d ult. The Confederates were falling back. General Blunt is reported to have fought a battle on the 28th ult, resulting in his defeat, with the loss of 3,000 men. General Steele has driven Marmaduke's cavalry out of Browns- ville, Arkansas, and scattered them. General Price is reported to have been driven across the Ar- kansas river on the 29th ult in full retreat, pursued by Steele, Little Rock is said to be within the grasp of the Federals. The Missouri State Convention has urged the Government to resist French influence in Mexico. It is said that Mr R. M. T. Hunter will proceed to Mexico as Confederate representative, to organise an immediate alliance with the South, recognising the Archduke Maximilian, in return for which it is supposed Mexico will recognise the South. The draft throughout the Eastern and Central States will pro- duce very few men. In New York it is estimated that it will not produce over 2,000 men. A case is being tried in the New York Supreme Court to test the constitutionality of the conscription. The Richmond Examiner reaffirms the statement that the steamer Vanderbilt was sunk by the privateer Georgia. Secretary Chase has proposed to borrow 50,000,000 dollars from the New York, Boston, and Philadelphia Banks, to be paid in November, in legal tender treasury notes bearing interest at 5 pe? cent. The banks have accepted the loan. MEXICO. Advices received in New York announce that the French occu" pied Tampico on the 9th. THE PRIZE RING.— THE COUNTY MAGISTRATES* To- day, James Dillon, as principal, Nathaniel Langham, and John Tyler, as aiders and abettors, appeared before the bench, of magistrates, the Right Hon. W. J. Henley, M. P., chairman, at the Town Hall, Oxford, in obedience to summonses that had been issued against them for being present at the recentfight which took place near Wargrave Ferry, in the county of Oxford. The defendants were all bound over in their own recognisances to appear at the next quarter sessions of the peace for the county to answer any indictment that might be preferred against them, of which due notice would be given.— Another pugilist, known as Bob Webb, was also summoned, but did not appear, and Nat Langham made an excuse for him on the ground of ill- health, and the summons in his case was allowed to stand over till Saturday, Sept 19. ______ FRIGHTFUL CRUELTY.— THE CORPORATION OF LONDON. To- day, at Clerkenwell, George Greenwood, a savage- looking fellow, of 7, Ward's- place, Lower- road, a drover, was charged on remand with cruelly ill- treating and torturing a sheep and causing its death in the Metropolitan Cattle Market. This, per- haps, was the worst case of cruelty on record. A sheep broke away from a flock, and the prisoner, who was coming towards it, was called on to stop it. He at the time had a large stick with a goad in it. He struck the sheep, and then ran the stick into the animal with such force that it passed through the skin and flesh on one side, through the entrails, and out on the other side. The stick, in its passing through the poor animal, destroyed the kidneys, and one of vhe slaughtermen at the market said it was the most horrrible sight he had ever seen. The sheep belonged to Mr. J. Corpe, a cattle salesman, who, having heard of the circum- stance, gave the prisoner into custody.— Several salesmen who were in attendance to hear the case said they were determined to put down the cruelty at the Cattle Market, as it was a crying evil, and a disgrace to the metropolis. Although they were prepared to render every assistance, yet ; t! ieir efforts were rendered useless by the way in which the Market's Improvement Committee granted licenses to every one that applied. If a drover was convicted of cruelty, or any other offence, he could still work in the market. What they wanted was, that when a man had been convicted, his badge should be withdrawn, and, he should not be allowed'any more to wark in the market. The salesmen also request that more policemen should be employed in and about the market, as that body is the only real and effectual check against the cruelty that is practised there.— The magistrate remanded the prisoner, as the principal witness, a boy, did not know the nature of an oath. BARBAROUS CRUELTY TO A COW. To- day, at Hammersmith police court, Wm. Moss was charged with having gouged out the eye of a cow. The case had been ad- journed for the attendance of a veterinary surgeon.— The prisoner while trying to drive a cow through some water, had beat the animal with a stick over the head, and had pulled out its eye with his finger and thumb, and then placed it back again.— The surgeon thought that the eye had not been gouged out, but ifc had been seriously injured, and the animal would not see again with it.— Mr Dayman ordered the prisoner to be imprisoned for one month, with hard labour. CLERICAL FAILURE TO REFORM A FRAIL FAIR ONE. To- day, at Southwark police- court, Edward Shields was charged with stealing a ring, four sovereigns, and some silver from the Rev Wm. Pearson. Shortly after twelve o'clock on Friday night complainant met a female near Radley's Hotel, where he was at present residing, and thinking it too late for her to be out in the streets, he expostulated with her, and stood talking to her and lecturing her for at least an hour on the impropriety of her con- duct. Suddenly the prisoner, who had been watching them, came up, and complainant immediately afterwards missed his ring and his money. He called out for the police, on which the young woman ran away, but the prisoner was stopped and apprehended, and the ring was found in his possession. The constable thought it probable that he should be able to find the woman.— The prisoner of course asserted his innocence, but the magistrate nevertheless committed him for trial. REFUSAL TO SUPPORT A WIFE. To- day, at Guildhall police- court, John Conway was charged with refusing to maintain his wife, whereby she had become chargeable to the West London Union.— Mr Brook, who appeared for the defendant, alleged adultery as the ground on which he refused to support his wife.— The wife said that in January last her husband sent her to Ireland for the benefit of her health, and when she returned in April she found him living with another woman, and he refused to give her any money. He paid her pas- sage over to Ireland, and promised to send her money, but he never kept his word, and she had been obliged to pawn her wed- ding- ring and her clothes to come back.— Sarah Coleman, the woman whom the applicant accused of living with her husband, proved that she had seen the complainant committing adultery with a man named Conder. She was in an adjoining room, and had seen them through a hole in the wall. Her mother was with her, and also saw the same thing happen. Her mother was now in Ireland with a family. The witness denied living with the defendant.— Alderman Dakin said that in the absence of the mother of Sarah Coleman he was not satisfied. The case must therefore stand over.
