[ GRATIS.] SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1863. [ GRATIS.] THE MODERN ARTILLERY. MR WESTLEY RICHARDS ON MILITARY ARMS. Loading at Breech and Loading at Muzzle is the name of a shilling " Ridgway" which has just been published, byMrWestley Richards, the well- known gunmaker, of New Bond- street. To this timely brochure are added " A few Remarks on the Simplest Mode of keeping the Accounts of Government Manufacturing Depart- ments." The author states at the outset that " The objects to be attained by this pamphlet are four in number. First, a fair and impartial trial for breech- loading ordnance of a large calibre, and a comparison made between them and muzzle- loaders. Secondly, tat competitive trials be conducted in public previous to the Adoption of any new system. Thirdly, that a proportion of breech- loading muskets be distributed throughout the Guards and infantry of the line, in order that the system may be tho- roughly tested 011 service, and the Government placed in possession of full information on the subject. And fourthly, that each of the manufacturing departments of the Government shall be supplied with capital necessary to conduct it, direct from the Treasury, paying interest to the Treasury for the same.'' This would ensure a proper account being kept, as the Treasury would not permit their capital to be diminished, except by repayment. The full cost of productions must therefore be charged to the different de- partments, in order to keep the capital from diminishing. On reading these propositions, the general tax- paying public— tlie " outside barbarians"— will think that the writer has undertaken a woik of absurdsupererogation; that he has been buying guns in London for the Birmingham market; in the old stock phrase— taking coals for sale to Newmarket. Session after session, when the military estimates have been under discussion in the House of Commons, and the gun question and expenditure spoken of, we were always assured that everything contended for in the pam- phlet before us had been acted on for years. There must be no- thing less than a ghost delusion somewhere, or Mr Westley Ri- chards or the War Department are the greatest bird- limers of British eyes in existence. Surely, with an annual war expen- diture on'the thick side of nearly forty millions, putting the ten millions © f " national defences" out of the question, we are not to believe that a large portion of this enormous sum is laid out in a kind of " happy- go- lucky, style"— something like the old parish " select westries" before the advent of the new Poor- law ? Howevir, as we shall have to refer to this part further on, w<? shall take a glance at the prior matters. Mr Richards sets out by saying that on the introduction of the elongated projectile, the days of the round bullet were, in the eyes of practical men, numbered, together with their smooth- bore barrels. A lower line of flight with a higher charge of powder can be worked with the bolt shot than with the round, but these again necessitate better arid more expensive weapons, " but, like all other go d things, these must be paid for." lib doubt of it, and if the Minister at War had thrown competition open when the change was under discussion, we should not have to go through the whole thing over again, minus the loss of sundry hundreds of thousands of pounds, and the Woolwich Arsenal " dead- house." We have, from time to time, introduced the gun question at some length to our readers in these columns, with the satisfaction of knowing that our opinions have not been without considerable force in quarters where we least anticipated. We must, therefore, be borne with when we say that we do not see our way clearly enough to the absolute adoption of the elongated shot for all purposes, in the face of the fact about the higher initial velocity, and the tremendous crushing power of the old 68- pouriders at short ranges. We attended that celebrated three- nights' discussion at the LTnited Service Institution, in May, 1862, under the presidency of the Duke of Somerset, the First Lord of the Admiralty. The subject of debate was " The character of gun best adapted for naval warfare, as gathered from the various plans of guns proposed," and was opened by Capt G. Fishbournes, E. E., C. B. In that discussion we had Sir W. Arm strong, Lancaster, Scott. Blakeiey. Lieut.- Col Clay, of the Mersey Steel and Iron Works; Col Lefroy, and other members of the Ordnance Select Committee; Mr Samu Is, Admiral Hjlstead, and almost all the names known in connection with the improvement of modern artillery. There were large diagrams of all the known systems of rifle*, tables of their performances, and everything that could throw any possible light on the subject. It was one of the most important'meetings, whether for influence or numbers, that has been held of late years withm that building. The result of that debate left the question precisely where it is now, namely, that the smuoth- bore gun and solid round shot cannot yet be dispensed with. Let us extract a comparison or two obtained by measurement at Shoeburyness. Old 68- pounder, cast iron, 161bof powder. Penetration, depth 2iin, width of ditto 7Jin, force of blow 5' 06. The great thing wanted at short ranges is smashing force. If, in artillery, speed is gra- vity, and gravity is power, then Jack's old love afloat, the 68- pounders, will still be entitled to a warm hug from him. The spinning motion of the long shots will always prevent their attaining the same short range speed and smashing properties as round. " Whatever, therefore, may be determined on as to smooth- bore guns, round shot cannot be dispensed with, especially when the calibres are further increased, for elongated shot cannot be driven with equal velocity; their greater weight, and the friction on the ' lands' or wings, to give them rotary motion, must always prevent their attaining very high velocities, nor can it. with reason be said that the charges with such shot can be in- creased to the amount used with the round shot, since tbe in- creased tension which that would entail would destroy any gun yet made, and likewise destroy many descriptions of rifled pro- jectiles " We quote this opinion to show the readers of Mr Eichards's pamphlet., as well as that gentleman himself, that even among authorities there is riot that unanimity of opinion in favour of rifled ordnance absolutely which many people have taken for granted. We have been told by very competent persons in- deed that if any system of elongated shot is to combine the quali- ties of the old smooth bore and the grooved system of rifling, it will be the oval bore of Mr Lancaster. We have before us the offi- cial report of a series of trials among a number of the service- cast iron guns rifled on various plans, and the fact stands out broad and indisputable that the Lancaster gun has seen all its competi tors come to grief, and still went on thundering away until some thousands of rounds were fired. But Mr Richards deals only with the Armstrong and Whitworth breech- loading competition. He is the inventor of both sporting and rifle breech- loaders of a high character, the military weapons having been somewhat ex- tensively sent, on trial into the service, and he is, consequently, strongly impressed with the superiority of that system. He does not tell us what plan he would recommend in preference to any now existent. Perhaps. he is maturing one of his own; if so. w'e are sure he cannot fail to add something considerable to our stock of information on the question. He tells us that there have been between 3' 0 and 400 patents for breech- loading arms taken out in England alone. We have seen a good many plans ourselves, but., in our humble opinion, we have never met with one to surpass the eccentric screw breech of the field gun exhibited by the Mersey 8teel and Iron Company in the late Exhibition, in speaking of the artillery there at the time we fully described this gun; it was capable of being fired about once in every three seconds, or twenty times a minute, was very strongly made, one man could work the breech easily, and, unless an unlucky shot cracked the breech altogether, we thought, the desideratum of a breech- loader was before us. We must, however, whilst admitting all the defects of the muzzle- loader in the ills that, it is heir to say that we have never yet either seen or heard of any plan of breech- loading ord- nance that can be safely and effectively worked in service, either as large naval or platform guns. Can Mr Richards at present give us any information on this point? He reasons very dispassion- ately, but, after the experience we have had of costly breech- loading failures in heavy guns, he will pardon us, we hope, when we express our confidence in the old muzzle- loading plan. We heartily wish the thing was settled one way or the other, and we quite agree with Mr Richards in calling for inventors' trials as early and as openly as possible. First, let us have the best muzzle- loaders discovered, and then let them enter the ring with the best breech- loaders known, all conditions being equal, and have the question fought out in a way that all the world may know What we would classify under the head of " the public" at such trials, should be those gentlemen who are known to be interested in them and the accredited representatives of such journals as chose to be represented. If things were managed in this way gentlemen who had sufficient knowledge of the subject to be able to compre- hend what, they saw, and impart their knowledge to others, might be appointed to make gun trials a specialty instead of its being left, as now, in too many instances, to the unintelligent jumble of furtive penny- a- lining. With respect to the secresv observed in the trials of the Armstrong gun, and the defects which that wea- pon has been proved to possess, we fully agree with Mr Richards : and perhaps he may be surprised to hear now. for the first time, that we pointed those defects out, when the writer was abused and laughed at by people who ought to have known better, but who were afterwards compelled to alter their opinion. It seems strange, we confess, now that Sir William Armstrong himself has abandoned breech- loading for heavy ordnance, to hear Mr Richards advocate it direct. We must prepare ourselves for guns varying from six to ten tons, and how are we to provide a suitable moveable breech? One of the Federal monitors, the Weehawken, a small vessel with a couple of 15- inch guns, throw- ing each a solid shot of 4401b, nearly four cwt, tore through the Confederate steamer Atalanta, in the short space of a quarter of an hour, and captured her. We would ask Mr Richards does he know of any breech- loading plan with which to work such enor- mous weapons as these ? We are quite aware of the rusting of muzzle- loading ordnance, but we cannot subscribe so readily to the gun bursting by the short home ramming of the shot. " We know that such an accident is a possible contingency, but we also know that the windage of the bore will allow the imprisoned air to get away while ramming home if ordinary care is exercised. We think that as Mr Richards looked at the giant Prince Alfred, and Capt Blakeley's 200 pounder, he must have had some mis- givings as to any of the breech- loading plans around him being adapted for such artillery. Now, however, if we are to be any- thing at all, we must follow the Americans— yes, follow where we ought to have led— and double the size of the largest guns we saw in the Exhibition ! If we should unfortunately be engaged in a war with that power at any future period, some of the toy guns we have spent so much money upon, and expected such great things from, at sea, may be used to shoot " coons" and "' pos- sums" with, when man- of- war boats' crews go off watering among the sea- board woods. We find further on a series of practical questions to be experimentally determined in order to arrive at something in the shape of a standard gun ; and then, again, to ascertain as to whether or not it would be cheaper to have " class'' guns— that is, guns specially constructed for particular purposes, and to do nothing else— i. e., guns for long ranges, and guns for short ranges, with the highest initial velocities for breaching work. Nothing can be better than the suggestions about the standard conditions of competition, but, we fear those " rules of the office," of which the author does not speak very warmly, will prevent much being done for some time to come. In the mean- while Mr Richards is doing good service to the country by so freely giving it the benefit of his thoughts. Our great contem- porary affects to sneer at him having the presumption to talk about great guns whilst he is only a maker of small arms, This is a new kind of logic; still everybody may not see the force of it, because we have met people who have, with considerable ability, criticise elaborate newspaper " leaders," who never got up as much as a page of a penny almanac in their live', and who would not know how to set about it if they tried. " Mr Richards is a small arms manufacturer, and we do not exactly understand how aknow- ledge of this branch of trade should give him any advantage over Sir W. Armstrong in devising and producing large ordnance." Sir William Armstrong was formerly, as now, a maker of machinery, and Mr Whitworth a machine- tool maker; yet, according to this style of reasoning, they ought to have left, gun making solely to artillery officers. " Sir," roared an indignant son of Crispin toa half- maddened, limping, corntortured customer; " Sir, what do you know about boot fitting ? you never made a boot in your life, and I don't see how your wearing them and your servant cleaning them should give you any knowledge on the subject. You had better go home and leave boot fitting to me, sir, I understand it." Mr. Richards had better be careful before he again rushes into print in the face of such a wigging ; still we are pleased he has done so, and we should be very glad if his neighbour, Mr Lancas- ter, would follow his example, as we feel ceitain that that gentle- man must have a large stock of valuable information that he might, if without detriment to himself, place at the disposal of the public. It is only by publications of this kind, and the com- ments which they necessarily elicit, that public opinion can be instructed and properly brought to bear in the determination of the true issue. When the present revolution in artillery made itself distinctly felt over Europe, we had a long conversation with a distinguished officer of the French army whose name is well known here. We said, " General, if the power of modern artil- lery continues to increase in this manner for the next twenty years, how do you think mankind will then fight, especially at sea?" " Under the water,'' he promptly replied, " for nothing will be able to float long in action that can carry a gun, except, the victors." Mr Eichards seems much of the same way of thinking. " There can be no doubt ( p. 61) that most destructive shells will be some day made, which will penetrate any armour- plates a sea- going ship can carry, if no limit is given to the size of the gun." The great Horsfal gun, carrying a charge ef 501b of powder and 3001b shells, threw its missiles a distance of 5,000 yards— nearly three miles! Fancy a few of these shells drop- ping with the enormous weight which such a length of flight would give upon the deck of any sea- going ship of war. Where would that ship be in a few minutes? There have been upwards of 7,0001b ef powder and 60,0001b of shot blown out of this very gun. Lieut- Colonel Clay, the managing partner of the Mersey Steel and Iron Works, was examined before the Defence Committee: " I was asked whether I could under- take to manufacture a gun which would penetrate the sides of the Warrior at 1,000 yards? I staged that I should have no hesitation with our present machinery to undertake to manufacture a gun that would, in my firm belief, fracture the side of a ship con- structed as the Warrior, covered with 4j- inch plates at 1,000 yards." Again, in reference to the manufacture of such guns, Colonel Clay told the committee: " I believe there would be no difficulty whatever in making them, although the monster gun weighs 21 tons. I have no hesitation in saying that, with our improved machinery, guns very much larger could be made with equal facility." Where shall we ultimate^- arrive at in this mat- ter? A gun, 21 tons, and other guns " very much larger could be made with equal facility J" After this, we think Mr Eichards will see the almost insurmountable barrier in the way of making a breech- loader anything approaching to such a size. As we have dwelt so fully upon this part of his pamphet we must defer our notice of the remainder until a future opportunity. AQUATICS. CHESS. CHESS PROBLEM. No. 417. By T. M. Brown, Esq. BLACK.

THE BEAKS AND THE RATS- ARE RAT MATCHES ILLEGAL ? At the Birmingham bench, last week, John Charley, keeper of the White Hart beerhouse, Overend, was charged with " keeping a place for the baiting and fighting of rats,'' and also with aiding and abetting several other men " in baiting and fighting rats.— Mr Travis appeared for the prosecution, and Mr Morteram, of the Oxford circuit, instructed by Mr John Smith, of Birmingham, appeared for the defendant.— Mr Motteram said the bench ought not to hear the two charges at once, and he asked which they would take first.— It was decided that the charge of " keeping a place for the baiting and fighting of rats" should be heard first.— Mr Motteram said that " baiting" and " fighting" were two dis- tinct acts, and he wished to know which would be taken.— After a long legal argument upon this subtle point, it was decided that the charge of keeping a place for " baiting" should be heard be- fore that of keeping a place for " fighting." After a little further squabbling, Police- constable Payne was sworn, and said that on Saturday, the 15th ult, he went with two other officers, at about half- past nine o'clock in the evening, to the defendant's house. He and the other officers went up stairs, and there he saw a rat pit in the centre of the club room, surrounded with ropes and stakes. There were 100 or 150 people present. The defendant, Charley, was there. It was evident that there was about to be a " rat baiting;" but, on account of the presence of witness and other police officers, there seemed to be some hesitation about bringing forth the rats. However, after some time, the de- fendant cried, " All right, boys; bring out the rats.'' Twenty rats were then turned into the pit, and a dog being let in amongst them, all the people began to howl and shout to encourage the dog to attack the rats. The dog chopped away at the rats until he had killed fifteen of them, but he was then so exhausted chat he was hardly able to lift his own tail, and he was taken away. After a short time he was turned into the pit again and despatched the remaining five rats. The landlord ( the defendant) encouraged the sport and seemed to enjoy it.— Mr Motteram : And so did you, did you not? Witness : I did [ laughter],— It was rare sport, was it not? It was.— You had not such a game since you became a policeman ?— Oh yes I had — How often ? Oh, I had a good many little games [ laughter],— You did not tell the landlord or any of the men that they were doing wrong ? I did not.— Nor that you would summon them ? No.— Mr Travis : You told them, when it was all over, that you would summon them ? I did.— Mr Travis said the charge was brought under the 12th and 13th of Victoria, cap 92, section 3, which was to the effect that any person who should keep or use or act in the management of any place kept for the purpose of bait- ing any animal, domestic or wild, or who should permit or suffer such place to be so used, should be subject to a penalty of £ 5, for every day during which he should keep the place, or act in the management of it, or permit or suffer it to be used for the purpose aforesaid.— Mr Motteram argued that the fact of a place being once used for baiting was not proof that it wa3 kept for baiting, and therefore it was necessary to prove, in order to support the charge, that rats were baited on other occasions in the de- fendant's house. After some further argument as to whether the magistrates could convict a man of " keeping a place for the baiting of rats," when it was only proved that rats were baited once in it, Mr Bagnall remarked that the sec- tion was not only directed against keeping the place, but against permitting or suffering it to be used.— Mr Motteram: We are not upon that subject at present; the summons is for that " the defendant did then and there use a room in his house for baiting a rat.''— Major Elwell: And he did use it, clearly.— The Magistrates' Clerk ( to Mr Motteram): Your argument is that there must be evidence to show that it was so used before.— Mr Motteram : Precisely.— A policeman: I can prove it was so used several times before.— Mr Motteram: I wish you would go about your business when you have given your evidence, sir [ laughter], Mr Motteram then argued that the act was not directed against the baiting of rats. Who ever heard of " baiting a rat" before 1 [ laughter]. The act of Parliament was never intended to forbid the killing of rats. If it were, every farmer in the country who killed a rat in his rick yard might be prosecuted for " keeping a place for the baiting of rats [ laughter]." The act of Parliament was pointed specifically against well- known offences which were once common— the baiting of bulls, bears, badgers, cocks, and the like. The baiting of such animals was malum in se, and therefore thejact of" Pariiament was directed against it; but it was never in- tended to forbid the killing of rats, an act which was not evil in itself, but which, on the contrary, was meritorious. If the ma- gistrates turned to the interpretation clause, they would find that the act was directed only against the baiting or fighting of certain wild animals that were named— the rat not being one of them— and against the baiting or fighting of domestic animals. Surely the rat was not a domestic animal; and if not, and if it was not named amongst the wild animals specified in the Act, the defendant was guilty of no offence.— Mr Travis : The charge is as much for the baiting of the dog by the rats as for the baiting of the rats by the dog [ laughter],— Mr Motteram : I admit that, and am quite willing to have the summons altered. My friend yields to my arguments that it is no offence to kill a rat..— MrTravis would not agreee to have the summons altered, and, after further delay, Major Elwell said the bench considered that the case was fully proved, and fined the defendant 5s and costs.— Mr Motteram asked the bench to give the reasons for their decision, but they did not do so.— Mr Motteram then said he should advise Mr Smith to have the opinion of the Court of Queen's Bench taken. He asked that the tineshould not be levied in the meantime.— A policeman said the defendant owed two fines already, and had made away with his property under a bill of sale.— The magistrates were of opinion that the fine ought to be levied at once.— Mr Motteram: The person levying the dis- tress must take the consequences.— A number of the men who were present, at. the " baiting" were then convicted of aiding and abetting, and were fined 6d each and 9s 6d costs. In default of payment they were sentenced each to twenty- one days' hard labour.

I of us being literally drenched. We questioned amongst ourselves the justice of starting a race under such circumstances, and at the final heat asked the Commodore if he could not allow us to start also, but this he stoutly refused. After the two crews did start, and having probably gone about 200 yards, Durham was nearly a length behind ; we kept alongside of them, and cheered them on in the usual way, to pull up, & c, & c. However, pull up they could not. After keeping them company in this manner for about a quarter of a mile or more, we left them ( seeing they had no chance of winning, as their opponents had increased their lead considerably) and came up on the Tyne crew, passed them, and satisfied ourselves we were able to beat them, then fell behind both boats. During our tussle we kept at a respectable distance from the competing boats, and did not mar either party in the slightest. Nothing could be further from our wishes or intentions to do so ; moreover, even had we been so inclined, we should have thought several times before committing ourselves in such a notorious spot as Newcastle, as we in all like- lihood should have felt tbe weight of Newcastle legs and fists for our pains. This, Sir, is the extent of an interference, and the subject of complaint we presume of the Tyne crew par- ticularly, and so persistently taken notice of first by their local journals and now by that of your own. If you and the rowing public still think we are in fault we beg humbly to apologise to the Tyne and Durham crews, and have no doubt but their gene- rosity will excuse our stupidity in supposing we were not doing anyt hing wrong. We have just a word or two more to add on the subject of our appearing at all at the final beat, in case some of your readers may still think our presumption unpardonable in supposing we should be allowed to start. In Glasgow we are happy to say foreign, and English crews especially, invariably get more than fair play, and we are proud to say Glasgow rowers as a body are above taking any petty advantage of strangers, and prefer rather to be beat, fairly than to win a race by a fluke. In fact, they have often given ( to use an old saying) a stick to break their own backs, in the accommodation of strarigers. No later than last, month, at the Clydesdale regatta, in the final heat for the Eifle Cup, Messrs Johnston and Atkinson of Newcastle fouled the Glasgow pair in their own water, after having gone a quarter of a mile. The race of course was virtually over as far as they were concerned. However, the Glasgow men, much to their credit, on being requested to give the strangers another chance on account of their not knowing the river, at once consented to do so ; the re- sult is now known. As a contrast, another Glasgow pair in the first heat for the same cup accidently fouled the Tyne pair at the same spot, and were at once thrown out. No second chance was allowed them, nor did they wish or expect it. We could state several cases of a similar nature, but refrain, fearing we have already taken up too much of your valuable space. If it should happen that English crews at our regattas do not get the same amount of favour shown them as heretofore they will please to call to mind Tvne versus Phcenix Glasgow.— Yours, & c, ' Glasgow, Sept 8, 1863. THE PHCENIX CHEW. DISPUTED EACE FOE THE CHAMPION CUP ON THE TYNE.—• It was stated in our last that this race was undecided, and that the friends and supporters of Cooper intended to commence an action at law to recover the cup. Since that time, however, the committee have issued the following notice:—" That Robert Chambers, Henry Kelley, and Robert Cooper are required indi- vidually and respectively to be present 011 Saturday, Sept 12, at 35 minutes past two o'clock in the afternoon, to row over the race for the Tyne Champion Cup. Should any one hereby summoned not be present, the race will be proceeded with without them." Since the above notice was issued, Messrs Bagnall, the treasurer, Pickett, the secretary, and Pringle, the chairman, have been in- dividually served with writs from the Court of Queen's Bench by the supporters of Cooper, to return the cup. Kelley and Cham- bers would therefore contest the race yesterday. The result in our next.. MB EDITOB: Through the medium of your widely- circulated journal I wish to explain to the public my reasons for not rowing again with Chambers and Kelley on Saturday next. In doing so I must say I felt surprised at seeing an advertisement from the committee, this morning, summoning me to be present to start on the above day, when they well knew my determination not to do so, and that I had made an appeal to a court of law for that justice the committee, against their consciences, have denied me. The most experienced men in aquatics, comprised in that body, and I believe a majority of it, not excepting their chairman, have not hesitated to say that I ought to have the cup, for I have fairly won it. The umpire's decision was in my favour, and that de- cision was ratified by the committee themselves, when they passed a resolution that the charge of foul made by Kelley was not sub stantiated. But, because a few of that committee candidly admit they don't understand the question, childlike they hold up their hands and say, " Let us have another race." The leader of this few was no other than Mr Bagnall, who was appointed to decide who came in first, although it was admitted that he could not see any part of the race where anything occurred that required dis- cussion, and therefore was incompetent to give an opinion. Under all these circumstances the committee mas'allow Chambers and Kelley to row again, and may give the prize to him who comes in first, but if they do so they give what is not their own, and do it at their peril. " I can assure the public I am not afraid to row either of them, and I am prepared to make a match to row R. Chambers, H. Kelley, R. A. W. Green, or any man in the kingdom, either from the High Level Bridge to Scotswood Suspension Bridge, or from Putney to Mortlake, and bear my own expenses, for £ 200 a side. A match can be made at any time at Mr J. Nanson's, Sun Inn, Side, Newcastle.— Yours, & c, R. COOPER, Aquatic Champion of England. Eedheugh, Sept 9, 1863. NORTH LONDON ROWING CLUB. SCULLERS EACE.— The Senior Scullers Race of this club, which has been twice postponed in consequence of Kew Regatta, will take place on Saturday, Sept 12, when the following gentlemen will contend, viz:— First heat: J. T. Smith ( 8urrey), B. E. Stafford ( centre), W. Newell ( Middlesex).— Second heat: D. J. Campbell ( Surrey), H. K. Stinton ( Middlesex). The first gentleman out of each of these will row in the final, the course in all the heats being from Hammersmith to Putn y.

The amateur oarsmen, not only of Ireland, but of England and Scotland als ® , have at all times looked forward with considerable interest to the regatta given annually by the Cork Harbour Rowing Club, at Glenbrook. On the present occasion £ 100 in value was given for amateur four- oars. This we believe is the largest amount given anywhere for an amateur race, as at most other regattas it is customary to give a challenge cup, whereas at Glenbrook it is handed over altogether for one cuntest. Within the last few years, several crews froen stranger clubs, including the Mersey, Phcenix, London ( on two occasions), South London, and Liffey, in addition to those on the river, have competed for the blue ribbon of Ireland— the Glenbrook Cup ; and on one occasion only has it been wrested from the hands of the local oarsmen, when, in 1860, Messrs H. Playford, C. Boydell, G. Shirreff, and A. Casa- major ( of the London Rowing Club) were declared the victors. The regatta this year was fixed for Monday, Aug 31, and Tuesday, Sept 1. The programme contained many minor races for water- men, tradesmen, mechanics, & c; but the chief events of interest were the Amateur Junior Fours and the Sculling Eace and Cham- pionship of the Lee on the first day, and 011 the second day the Glenbrook Cup. FIRST DAY.— AMATEUR SCULLING EACE AND CHAMPION- SHIP OF THE LEE.— Cup value £ 10, medal value £ 1. The follow- ing gentlemen started:— R. N. Parker, jun ( Cork Harbour Rowing Club), A. Stamers ( Cork Harbour Rowing Club), H. Hayes ( Cork Harbour Rowing Club), W. Milner ( Lee Rowing Club). Messrs T. O'Keeffe and M. Baggot ( L. E. C.) had entered for the race, but did not start. The four boats started fairly to- gether, but in a short time after their getting off Mr Parker began to draw clear of the others. On reaching the Glenbrook Hotel he had a clear lead of several lengths, and when passing the Glenbrook Pier it was plain that the race was altogether in his hands. He won at his ease by a long distance. There was a smart contest between Messrs Stamers and Hayes for the second place, which resulted in favour of the former. The next race was the one in which most interest was taken. It was a FOUR- OARED AMATEUR RACE ; the challenge cup value £ 25, presentation medals value £ 5. Three boats were entered. GLANCE ( Lee Rowing Club)— R. Clarke, J. M'Carthv, C. O'Keefe, T. O'Keefe, J. Varian ( cox) 1 SYLPH ( Cork Harbour Rowing Club)— J. O'Hea, J. Ware, R. Foley, R. Scott, T. Drinan ( cox) 0 MYSTERY ( Cork Harbour Rowing Club)— P. O'Connell, H. Hayes, A. Stamers, A. Roche, M. O'Connell ( cox) 0 The betting upon the race was even, but not much money was laid, every one seeming to reserve himself for the great race. About six minutes were occupied in getting them into proper position, one false start taking place, and at 5: 26 they were got off. The crew of the Sylph put on a fine spurt at the start, and in the run to the Giant's Stairs gained about half a length over the Glance, but then the Lee crew, who were pulling a Bteady stroke, favoured by the full rush of the tide, in which they were, began to draw forward. The two Glenbrook boats were kept rather close to the eastern shore by their coxswains, and had not the tide so strong with them. In the run up to the hotel and baths the Glance gradually increased her lead, and won by four or five lengths. SECOND DAY.— The chief race of the regatta was the follow- ing:— FOUR- OARED AMATEUR RACE, for boats of any class, out- riggers excepted, but if the boat be built in three or more streaks, a short outrigger on the bow and stroke oar permitted. To be rowed and steered by gentlemen amateurs, who must be members of a recognised yacht or rowing club, or officers of the army or navy ( working mechanics excluded). The Glenbrook Cup, value £ 50, and should a crew from across Channel compete, the com- mittee will add £ 35 for the first boat, and £ 15 for the second, or presentation prizes of equivalent value at the option of the parties so entitled; entrance, £ 2 each boat. The following boats were entered for the race: — DREAM ( Cork Harbour Rowing Club)— W. Ellis, T. Byrne, J. Anderson, J. Corbett, J. Drinan ( cox) 1 FLORIDA ( Lilt'ey RowiugClub)— M. O'Brien, A. Fitzpatrick, F. Fitzmaurice, J. O'^ ullivan, J. Rynd ( cox) 0 GLANCE ( Lee Rowing Club;— J. Barrett, M. Baggott, T. O'Cal- laghan, M. Foley, T. Varian ( cox) 0 BRUNETTE ( South London Rowing Club)— I. Fairbrass, N. Shipway, J. Lee, C. llobbs, C. Shipway ( cox) 0 The Florida was placed nearest Monkstown ; next her respec- tively were the Glance, the Dream, and the Brunette. When the gun was fired the Dream and the Brunette led off, straight up the river, while the Glance and the Florida took a slight curve into the bay; so that, the boats did not fairly coine together till near the Monkstown Pier. Previous to this, however, the Brunette led the Dream for about half a mile after the start, but 011 coming up to the pier fell back so much that, while allowing the Dream to take the lead, she also yielded place to the Florida, and soon after fell behind the Glance also. Passing the pier the Dream was about two lengths ahead of the Florida; the Glance followed the latter about four lengths behind, and the Brunette considerably to the rear. Going up to Glenbrook the Florida ciung closely 011 to her leader, while the crew of the Glance began to put on one of those spurts which used to be so fatal to their opponents, and closed up slightly on the two first boats. Matters continued pretty much the same up past the Club Quay, and on to the flagboat, the Florida and the Glance making the most desperate efforts to close up on the Dream, which still headed them. The efforts of the Lee men in the Glance were here gigantic. At the turn she had reduced the lead of the Florida to about two lengths, the latter being again about a length and a half behind the Dream— the Brunette now greatly in the rear. On the run home the contest between the three leading boats remained of the same exciting character. The Dream still led ; the Florida was somewhat wildly pulled, but remained se- cond, and close behind was the Lee making desperate efforts to close up. But the race was now decided. The distance was too short to alter the position of affairs ; and after a few seconds' un- availing but most gallant exert on on the part of the Liffey and Lee boats, the Dream came in the winner by about two lengths, the Lee boat being scarcely the same distance behind the Florida. The London boat was too great a distance back to calculate in lengths. CLIFTON AND ROSHERVILLE REGATTA. This annual regatta among landsmen came off on Monday, Sept 7, when seven races were rowed, which produced a most spirited competition, and excited much interest among many hundred spectators whs assembled to witness the affair. Messrs E. J. Stibbs and J. Solomon were the managers, Mr G. Sandford of the Clifton Shades being the treasurer, and Mr W. Patience the secretary. These gentlemen, as in years past, exerted them- selves to the uttermost to get up a good regatta, and if they did not succeed in collecting a large sum of money, they had the satis- faction of pleasing everybody by their able management of the affair, but it is much to be regretted that the people of Gravesend do not unite with them to get up a large regatta. Gravesend, with its known loyalty to the Sovereign, its wealth and many appli- ances, should not be year after year as it is without a regatta. A full day's meeting might easily be managed with the large num- ber of hatch boats, shrimpers, sailing skiffs, watermen, & c, at command ; and it is to be hoped that next year another regatta such as that which took place there some years ago may be inau- gurated, and that Gravesend, Clifton, and Rosherville will unite in the common cause. The course for all the races was from oil the Three Crowns, West- street, to a flagboat above Kosherville Pier, twice round, a distance of nearly three miles; and the races came off as under. SCULLERS RACE, in five heats ; first boat £ 3, second £ 2, third £ 1 5s, fourth 15s, fifth 10s, sixth 5s: First heat: Brown 1, Smith 2, Beacon 3. They started evenly, and made a good race of it for some distance, when Brown took the lead and kept it, winning by three lengths ; Smith having shaken off Beacon, left him some distance astern.— Second heat : Page 1, Sutherland 2, Sloper 3. Page and Sutherland went away together, and made a fine race of it once round, when Page, obtaining the lead, kept it, and won by six lengths.— Third heat: Beacon 1, Sutherland 2, 8mith 3, Sloper 4. Beacon had the lead all the way, and won by six lengths, Sutherland the same ahead of Smith.— Fourth heat: Brown 1, Page 2, Sutherland 3, Beacon 4. This was a fine race all the way. Page took the lead, and, pressed very hard by Brown, maintained it till they were close to home, where Brown was on his quarter.

The proceedings were under the patronage of Lord Palmerston. On board the com- mittee boat were the Earl of Breadalbane, Lord Glenorchie, Sir Brook Bridges, the Mayor of Margate, & c. The races commenced about one o'clock. The programme comprised nine events, the most important of which came off in the following order :— Sprit- sail boats ( open to the coast-), not to exceed 26 feet in length, half a minute time per foot allowed ; first prize £ 5 5s, second £ 3 3s, third £ 1 10s, fourth £ 1. There were four entries, all the boats belonging to Margate :— Express^ l, Champion 2, Cygnet 3, Jessie 4.— Four- oared Service Galleys ( elm- built, open to the coast) ; first prize £ 8, second £ 4, third £ 2 :— Northern Belle ( Margate), E. Emptage, 1 ; Alma ( Margate), R. Harman, 2; Jenny Lind ( Margate), 8. Labb, 3 ; Eleanor ( Ramsgate), D. Goldsmith, 0. In this race Eleanor came in second, but was disqualified on ac- count of the crew having changed their coxswain on the course.— Pair- oared Eace for Amateurs, open to the coast ( coxswains al- lowed), for two tankards. There were five entries, and the race between the first and second boats was a very good one, but the other three were distanced. The following was the order in which the boats came in :— Deerfoot ( Margate), W. Porter and A. Her- ron, 1; Alice ( Margate), Foat and Lenham, 2; Attempt ( 8t Leonards), W.

ASTON CROSS GROUNDS.— The alterations made by the pro- prietor, not only on the sprint, but also on the new ground of 282 yards round, are now complete, also the gravelled terraces, from which all spectators have a clear view of the running the whole distance round, and by the railing put up the ground is kept clear, and 110 one allowed on the same but the runners, referee, and reporters. The spacious gallery fronting the sprint ground, which commands an uninterrupted view from end to end ( the ground is in length 132 yards), is open to the public, and with a new bar erected also adjeining the gallery, the proprietor has done wonders in a short space of time for the comtorts of pedestrians and the public, the latter giving evident signs that when talent is brought forward, and bond fide matches are run, they are sure to be well patronised, for upwards et 2,000 persons paid admission on Monday, Sept 7, the great attraction being the Five Mile Handicap ( round the new ground), for which the pro- prietor gave £ 20 as a first prize, adding the acceptance money, which gave £ 5 as second prize, and £ 1 as third, and for these prizes some of the best men of the day contended, viz, E. Mills ( the Six Mile Champion runner) placed at scratch ( Magenta colour), W. Eichards ( the Welshman) ( brown) 250 yards start. H. Andrews of London 300 ( blue), H. Brunell of Hoxton 320 ( white and red stripes), H. Gurley of Birmingham 340 ( black), C. Collier of Burton- on- Trent ( said to be a novice— a well, compact- made man) 350. The ground was carefully measured out under the well- known caterer, W. Price of Hackney Wick Grounds, and our correspondent, Mr C. Bolton, mutually chosen referee, and Mr T. Clulee starter. Soon after six o'clock the men appeared on the ground. Of the merits of the men we need not speak, as they are generally well known, most of them so lately having appeared in various matches before the public. They all looked in first- rate trim, and each received a fair share of public applause in their running, yet all eyes were fixed upon the " Pet" Mills, whose style of running throughout the match was much admired; and we may mention here » hat we never recollect a handicap at these grounds that has given so much gene- ral satisfaction. The ground, considering the heavy rains that had fallen days previously, was in capital order. The men had to traverse the ground round 31 laps and 58 yards for the five miles. After a few preliminary canters, each man was duly placed at his mark by W. Price, and at the signal they all got well away to- gether. At the fourth lap round Mills had gained some 40 or 50 yards, and Gurley had left Collier in the rear, and Andrews and Brunell close together, in which way they kept till within a score yards of home. At the tenth lap they had passed Gurley, Eichards making good running, and gradually creeping up to them; and Mills, running in beautiful style, was making his way and close upon _ Gurley. At the twentieth lap he had passed him, also having passed Collier a second time. At the straight run of the twenty- second lap Gurley gave in. Lap after lap was well contested by the remaining men; Collier ( the novice), although 110 chance of place, kept gamely on the whole distance, and Richards, though he made several fine spurts, was unable to catch Andrews or Brunell, and seeing he had 110 chance of place, at the thirtieth lap he retired from the con- test. The last lap round was splendidly contested. Mills ( who was loudly cheered) spurted fsrward and gained considerably 011 his two competitors Brunell and Andrews ( the latter two yards behind the former). At the turn for the straight run home he was abreast of Brunell; a severe and well- contested race took place be- tween the two, but Mills landed himself a winner a yard before Brunell, who was half a yard before Andrews, Collier bringing up the rear, to all appearance not the least distressed. Betting: 6 to 4 agst Mills, 2 to 1 agst Brunell, 4 to 1 agst Andrews, 8 to 1 agst Richards and Gurley, and 20 to 1 agst Collier. Time, 25min 31sec. 6TEVENS AND HOLDCROFT.— These Birmingham men previous to the handicap toed the scrat h to run 100 yards, for £ 5 a side. They have contended together before, when Stevens was the winner. Mr Tailby acted as referee. After several attempts the men got away together; Stevens soon took the lead, and ran in a winner by a yard. J. HEMMINGS ( THE SALOPIAN LAD) AND CATLIJT OF LINCOLN. — These men came next to run 1,000 yards, for £ 5 a side, round the new grounds, Mr Taiiby again acting as referee. A well- contested race was anticipated, and a good deal of money was invested on the event. The average betting was 6 to 4 on Catlin ; just pre- vious to the start the same odds were laid on Hemmings. At the signal the men got away, Hemmings with a slight lead, but by- no means at a fast pace; he, however, kept the first place till Catlin had gone f ® r full three and a half laps round, when Catlin appeared to stagger, falter, and stumble, and threw himself care- fully down. A few yards further on Hemmings looked back, and immediately resorted to the same game. It then became apparent to all that the men had received orders, and that a bare- faced " barney'' had been attempted. The referee at once declared all bets off— no race— and the proprietor refused them the gate money, and has handed the money to the funds of the General Hospital in Birmingham. C.

Both men might be said to be novices, yet their friends were sanguine upon the result, Griffiths's friends laying 2 to 1 on him, which was readily accepted by Archer's party. Mr Tim Thomas did the needful as referee. After several attempts the men got away well together; an excellent race till within a short dis- tance of home, when Archer spurted forward and went in a win- ner by a yard, evidently to the great surprise of Grilfiths'sfriends, who had booked it a safe win. T. TONES AND T. WEARING.— These Wednesbury men, imme- diately after the above race, made their appearance on the ground to run their 100 yards match, for £ 0 a side. Mr Hawkins of Wed- nesbury was the appoiuted referee, but he was unable to attend, and deputed a friend to act for him. These men have run many matches, with varied success. On this occasion they both looked in good trim for the event, and each appeared confident, for they laid the gate money, and the betting ruled at 6 to 0 on Tonks. The men remaining on the mark without a start till the time, 15 minutes, had expired, they bad then to go by report of pistol. At the report Wearing got away with a slight advantage at the start, but was quickly caught by Tonks, and they ran a splendid race for three- quarters of the distance, shoulder to shoulder, when Wearing got in front arid won by three- quarters of a yard.

AUG 25.— After paying en passant their annual tribute to Neptune, I Zingari landed at Kingstown, and after snatching five and forty winks in Dublin, went down in cricket array to the Curragh. Here they were received with the customary honours paid to distinguished foreigners. A field day was adjourned, and the guard turned out to see the fun. Jupiter Pluvius, also, quitting the embraces of his last maid wife, descended in a shower of rain upon the lap of I Zingari, and there revelled till near three p. tn. The ground selected, though the best to be found, was of a slightly rugged character, and Arkwright and Marsham improved the opportunity, the army subsiding at 55. For I Zingari thejgiant, leather hitter was Capt Prunello, whilst our Henery retired unsa- tiated for 20. The Army showed more muscle in their second at- tempt, Capt White, after many attempts, being at length secured by Mr Creyke for a slashing 42, the pa'ron saintof Cork securing 20 in a temperate way, and the ensign of 16 deserved the promo- tion he gave to the score. However, all these efforts left but 48 runs for I Zingari to get, of which the Lords, as ap- peers below, gained a majority, and I Zingari were left victors by seven • wickets. The bravery of the British army has never been ques- tioned, so that it is needless to state that on this occasion it fought with gallantry throughout; and to the bravery of the day it added the hospitality of the night, and not till early morning did the distant hills of Wicklow cease to resound with the perpetual pop of sham and seltzer. I Zingari beg to thank their gallant hosts for the excellent arrangements made for their co- nfort, especially in the removal of a partition wall for the accommodation of the feet of Big Bob and the colonel, who shared a hut with one ano ther, who could never have slept without this thoughtful adjust- ment of means to their ends.

P., doing the honours right sumptuously, Mr Rochfort being prevented by an unexpected calamity from taking any active part in the proceed- ings, much to the regret of I Zingari, though rather than do nothing at all, he swept the wickets himself with a friend's coat, and by many well- timed remarks revived the drooping energies of Allcock and Larry Ryan. The ground was heavy, which accounts for the small scores, the I Zingari bowling very good, and with about a dozen exceptions, and most of them monopo- lised by one gentleman, the fielding was excellent. There were scarcely as many Ethiopians on the Carlow side as we should have liked to see. You must know that black dittos is the favourite apparel in these parts— hence the African syllogism. We believe there is no faster runner in Carlow than Thorburn. He certainly extracted the ball from the rapidly advancing second crop of hay at cover- point with marvellous accuracy. Mat Byrne's defence is as stolid as Larry Ryan's temper is imperturbable. " It's too good you are for me," said he, witti a smile to a shooter. We have so often set our regards on the Dublin Hone, that we were a little disappointed at finding him whetting his blade for us at Carlow. The match was decided in favour of I Zingari, who thoroughly enjoyed it, and their thanks are eminently due to the several gen- tlemen who have done so much to promote cricket in Ireland, apart from the more personal feelings of gratitude for the hospi- tality which has been uniformly extended to every member of the " wandering band.''

LODGE, DUBLIN. AUG 29 TO SEPT 5.— Returning from the green pastures of Carlow, flushed with their victory over soldier and peasant., I Z. were welcomed for the fifth time by his Excellency the Earl of Carlisle at the Viceregal Lodge. The week's programme con- sisted of three matches and a ball, in all of which the Zingaric element shone very conspicuous; the principal features of the cricket were the four fine innings of Mr Marsham, who had almost to be removed by main force at last, the excellent batting of Mr Mitchell, the hard smacking of Messrs Clayton and Fitz- gerald, the bowling of Mr Arkwright, and wicket- keeping of Mr Fellowes on the I Z. side, whilst Mr Hone, as usual, played in his scientific manner, and Doyle's innings of 43 was admirably obtained, as also Mr Dillon's careful 34 at a critical part of the game. The Irish bowling requires more cultivation, and we should also recommend a little more attention to the cerebral department. Fireaway Flan- nagan was a most hardworking bowler, but his side bowled him " not wisely, but too long.'" The placing of the field might also be improved upon ; above all, Ireland will do well to remember that point should rather be able to shake hands with the batsman than to exchange whispers with cover point. Our " Johnson" may be quoted as an example of what a good point ought to be, and is. There is now a great interest taken in the game, and great improvement should be the necessary result, and we feel assured that these remarks will be taken as meant, in other words, well. We cannot conclude without a word of praise for the improved condition of the V. R. ground. We remember it o'ersliadowed by trees and teeming with moisture. We have seen it this autumn opened out to the rays of the sun, should it shine, and to the drying influences { when it doesn't bring rain) of the soft west wind so that, added to its natural charms, its distant prospect of purple mountain, where the clouds love to chase the shadows, its charming vistas of less remote but brighter nooks in the adjacent grounds, is the perfection of a sound and level sward. Music each day enlivened the ground, beauty animated it, and groups of equestrians and outside cars in the Phaynix filled up the tableau. It is not without mingled feelings of emo- tion and pleasure that we approach the conclusion of our season of ' 63. It has been marked by many pleasant renewals of former meetings; it has added to its overflowing list of hospitable friends new associations with the counties of Kent and Dorsetshire; it has to regret, while acknowledging the justice, its severance with Hants, its disappointment in Cambridgeshire, and other reasons which prevented its " integritis amoris'' at Badminton or Gunton. But each pleasure pales, each regret becomes light compared with those I Z. experienced during their stay at and felt at their de- parture from the Viceregal Lodge. We can but add, in the words of the poet— " ' Tis our proudest and fondest reflection That his reign o'er our hearts he will hold, And long may his beat with affection For the folds of the black, red, and gold."

In spite of the inclemency of the weather the ground was crowded with the carriages of the neigh- bouring nobility and gentry, and two volunteer bands imparted a trudy martial air to the warring element. We observed among the company several foreigners of distinction, including a mighty " Zouave" in full uniform. Score: LORD LICHFIELD'S ELEVEN, lst inn 2d inn A. Trubshaw, b Burnett 8 b Burnett 3 W.

INCOGNITI v WIMBLEDON. This match was commenced at Wimbledon on Sept 5, but before the I. C. could complete their innings the rain came down and obliged a draw. This concluded the season of 1863 for the I. C. They have been on the whole very successful, having played eighteen matches, of which they have won ten, lost five, and drawn three. They also sent an Eleven into Staffordshire for a week, but owing to bad weather the three matches played there were all drawn. Score : INCOGNITI. A. H. Winter, b Charles 9 H. P.

This match took place on Thursday, Sept 3, and following days. The rain on Saturday prevented much play, causing the game to be drawn all in favour of the Eleven, who just managed to put their opponents in 011 the runs, owing to the fine bowling of Will- sher, who floored three wickets when the score stood for one run to save the innings. Grace, Hayward, Tarrant, Willsher, and Caesar all played well for their scores against the good bowling of Hodgson and Jackson. T. Smith, on behalf of the Twenty- two, with Jackson, stayed a long time at the wickets. Mr Hodgkinson played a very good innings of 16 runs. Score ; ALL ENGLAND. E. M.

ROSSALL SCHOOL v CAPT PAGE'S ELEVEN. j This match was commenced at RossaH on Friday, Sept 4, but ; unfortunately the weather would not allow of two innings being played. However, what was done was won by the School, for whom Appleton, Bolton, and Roberts, distinguished them- selves in the batting department, while Austin and Rawlins bowled exceedingly well throughout, not requiring a change. For the captain's eleven Messrs Shuttleworth and Whiteside were the only ones who gained double figures, and the bowling of Shuttle- worth was very good. The following will show that the match was the school's. Score: CAPT PAGE'S SIDE. E. Hulton, b Austin 9 Capt Page, b Rawlins 1 T. M. Shuttleworth, c & b Rawlins. 13 J.

This match was played Aug 24 at the Priory Park, Chichester, at a late hour of the day, with the understanding to draw stumps at a quarter before six, consequently the garrison had just time for their innings, which was a rattler. Lieut Elmhirst and Capt Truell each played a fine innings; Lieuts Maxwell and Bouverie also did good service, in fact the Parkites had a regular day's " leather hunting," all sorts of bowling being easily collared. The fielding of the Park was very creditable of course. An early offer or two were refused, which if accepted the day's result might have been different. Score: GARRISON.

Fresh- water led its men once more to victory. The smallness of the scores is to be accounted for partly by the badness of the batting, and partly by the fact that it rained steadily throughout the match. At five minutes past six, Freshwater having only 16 more runs to get and several wickets to fall, Cowes retired from the contest. Score: COWES. lst inn 2d inn E.
