T W V—" Mr Jones's." B and L— Hair splitters both ; of course it is in the county of Mid- over some millions of people, and whose strength, Antpeus like, seems to become the greater, after each occasional re verse. The western nations ought to declare that they re- cognise the Poles as belligerents. Humanity requires this from them. The frightful atrocities now perpetrated by the Mouravieffs in the Russian service must then cease, and be the issue of the struggle what it may, its progress would cease to be marked with those savage excesses with which theRussian authori- ties now disgust tbeworld, and from which the Polish commanders appear to have most carefully abstained. Their abstinence must not, however, be reckoned on for ever. If men who are fighting for what they deem a sacred cause are taught to expect that they will be butchered in cold blood, that if wounded and captive they will be so far curatively treated as to enable them to be hanged : if they know that their houses are to be fired and their wives and children are to be burnt therein, no one can have a right to expect that they will always show forbearance to those who practise these atrocities— and if they do not, the war will become one of extermination, and no small part of the blame of such a result will rest with Europe at large. « CRIMES OF VIOLENCE. The last assizes have exceeded some of their predecessors in the number of murder cases, and four executions at Liverpool attest the terrible amount of criminality which marked one portion of one of the circuits. How is this ? Is popular morality less ; is the love of murder greater than before f Every one would fain hope to answer these questions in the negative; but can that hope be justified \ It is impossible to doubt that the tendency to acts of violence has not diminished of late years as it ought to have done with reference to the spread of education. It is true that the four culprits at Liverpool were not, in the ordinary sense of the word, men of any education; but they had learnt some- thing, and one of the first of their teachings " ought to have been the duty, the imperative obligation, of abstaining from murder. If this teaching had ever been imparted to them, it could have produced little effect on their minds. For the most trifling of causes ail the four murders had been committed. Quarrels of the most trumpery description, where not one of " the deeper passions" was concerned, had led to them. A fancied cheat, an imaginary robbery, a suspected affront, had all been avenged by murder. There was no proportion between the supposed offence and its terrible mode of vindication. In the case of the Spaniard alone is this at, all intelligible. In his country the use of the knife is not forbidden by public opinion, and deathly vengeance for an affront is sometimes deemed ex- cusable ; but in England the opposite rule exists ; and among the educated classes of society we are happy to say that it is well ob- served. WI13' is it not so" among the lower classes ? Why is it that while the upper classes are, in one respect at least, so much wiser and better than they were years ago, the lower classes have become so much worse ' i We cannot but think that the dis- couragement so pertinaciously and foolishly thrown upon the prize ring, which made any appeal to the knife in the greatest degree infamous, has had something to do with the matter. Uneducated men are taught by what they see and hear, and not by what they read; and the example of fairness in combat, of self- control under pain and excitement, and of the utter disgrace that attended the slightest approach to the practices of an assassin, kept the lower classes in a degree of self restraint, which is now unhappily unknown to them. They were, many years ago, much more ignorant than now, they saw less of the world, and mixed less with all other classes of society; they lived under laws where the punishment of death was frequently, and very unfitly inflicted, making tliem shockingly familiar with it, and yet the cases of murder upon small quarrels, and for little provocations, were less numerous than now. The fact is undoubted; the explanation of it is not to be ! found in any violent affectation of sentimentality about " the ruffianism of the prize ring." We showed last week that that " ruffianism" was not necessarily connected with the Ring, and was the result of the law; and we believe that an altered law would secure to the country many benefits from the practice of boxing, without one of the disadvantages which are now made accessaries to it.

OAKLEY AGAIN VICTORIOUS on the St LEGER. LORD CLIFDEN FIRST. QUEEN BERTHA SECOND. Charles Oakley again victorious at Doncaster, absolutely running first and second for the St Leger with his especial choice, the gallant Lord Clifden and Queen Bertha as above. He trusts all his subscribers and friends backed his selections, both to win and for places freely, and won handsomely. With respect to the great and important handicaps now approaching, CESAREWITCH and CAMBRIDGESHIRE, C. Oakley begs to state 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, to ; and strongly urges all who want to realise a capital stake to get on his selection without a moment's delay. His champions for these exciting races are meant, well in, and doing splendid work, going as strong as lions, and will come to the post fit to run for a king- dom. For the Cesarewitch especially he has two very first- rate things indeed that must be backed both to win and for places at once. Re- member 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.

Byron puts into the mouth of the Devil the remark, that a seeker of war may go almost any where, and be sure of gratifying his propensity, for that in most places, mortals " Are tugging, as usual, at each other's heartstrings." It is not enough that there is war, frightful, savage war raging in Poland, but an attempt must be made to create its curse in Denmark. Under pretence of vindicating the rights of Germany ( as if Germany and its wishes were at all cared for, or anything thought of but princely wilfulness in the matter), a German army is to enter Holstein. Denmark, which has proposed everything and done everything that justice requires, prepares to resist this aggression, and Sweden threatens Germany with lending its aid to Denmark. Here are the materials for a war bad enough in itself, but which can hardly be entered on without involving the chances of European intervention. The German princes who will thus rush wantonly into a foreign war, had better look at home, and give to Germans a portion, even a portion, of those free institutions which the German subjects of Denmark do enjoy, and which, if the meddlers of Frankfort would let them alone, might be, and would be, largely increased. There is not a State in Germany, no, not even Prussia itself, whish has more real free- dom than the German provinces of Denmark; but, under the affectation of protecting those provinces against a despotism, which does not exist, the Frankfort Diet of Princes is about to enter on a war. We call this a Diet of Princes, for in truth it is nothing else, and the German wit who lately published the telling phrase, " What we do not want is an assembly of Dele- gates,'' rightly described it; they are the delegates of the princes, and of no one else. When he added, " What we do want is an assembly of Representatives,'' he correctly announced the real want of Germany, but that is a want which the Princes will not satisfy. Such an assembly would not make war on Denmark. BELLIGERENT RIGHTS. The proverb says that " kissing goes by favour," and it does so even in matters political. The Southern rebellion in America had not long pronounced itself before it was diplomatically recog- nised to a certain extent— to that extent which humanity and good sense required— the extent of declaring the two contending parties to be belligerents. This put an end to many of the inhu- manities that would otherwise have attended the contest. When men in sufficient numbers appear on a field of battle, when they are organised into troops by other men claiming to possess and allowed to possess the powers of Government, when these latter levy taxes, administer justice, and do all those things which are done by a regular Government they may continue to be rebels so far as the termination of the contest is concerned, but they are not rebels so far as relates to the manner of carrying it on. When it is concluded by the complete triumph of the old Go- vernment, the leaders may be fined, imprisoned, exiled, or even executed, as before, for then triumph has renewed all the powers of the old Government; but while those powers are suspended, not by a mere riot ( for that would not suspend them in law), but by an actual war, with all the dimensions of a war— by a war which it tasks all the energies of the old Government to sustain— it is absurd in principle, as well as wicked in practice, to allow one of the two parties ail the superior rights and advantages of an established ana uncontested Government, and to refuse those rights and advantages to the other party, which is always vigo- rously combatting, and often successfully defeating, its rival. Yet though these principles are perfectly clear, and though their application ought to be universal, and applied without " fear, favour, or affection,'' the}' are in fact only applied through those very motives, and in utter defiance of the rules and principles of justice. Let men think what they will of the causes which led to the disruption of the American Union, there can be no denial that it bore, at first, the character of a rebellion to established au- thority. Yet the rebels were speedily declared to be entitled to the character of belligerents, having shown themselves capable of maintaining armies in the field, and of performing all the other functions of a government. The same justice had not been done to the Hungarians, though they had not only maintained them- selves against their foe, but had actually brought that foe to the degrading condition of asking for foreign aid in order to save him from destruction. Nor is the same justice now done to the Poles, who have proved themselves quite the equals of the Russians the field, whose Government, appearing to be a mere NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. DEFENCES OF THE MED WAY.— Preparations are now being made by the contractors for commencing the construction of the large semi- circular casemated fort at the entrance of the Med way, which is intended to guard the passage to Chatham harbour, the foundations having been completed some time since and a suffi- cient period allowed to elapse to allow for their consolidation. The position of the fort will enable it to effectually bar the pas- sage of any ships attempting to approach either 8heerness or Chatham dockyards. It is intended, on the completion of this and the other forts which command the approaches to the Med- way, to arm them with the most powerful description of guns, throwing the heaviest projectiles, recent events at Charleston proving that forts are only superior to ships in exact proportion to the description of armament used. The position which the work occupies in relation to the adjacent defences which com- mand the main channel of approach will enable its armament to be worked with decisive effect against shipping at a compara- tively short range, while its formation will allow of a concentra- tion of fire at any given point. The passage of the rivers Thames and Med way will also be guarded by the extensive fortifications, now rapidly approaching completion, erected on the Isle of Grain, the guns mounted upon which will have entire control of the mid- channels of both streams. Both sides of the estuary of the Medway will, on the completion of the works now in pro- gress, possess a line of powerful batteries. AKKIVAL OP THE CHANNEL FLEET AT LIVEEPOOL.— In ac- cordance with previous intimation, the squadron under command of Rear- Admiral Dacres arrived in Liverpool on Monday, Sept 14, soon after twelve o'clock, passing the great landing stage about one o'clock. Immense crowds of people were collected on the pier- promenades all along the whole line of docks, the landing stages, and St Nicholas's Churchyard being very densely crowded. As the llagship, the Edgar, rounded the Rock she was saluted by the North Fort, and immediately returned the salute, and, as also did the other vessels, continued dipping her ensign in courtesy to the numerous vessels as she passed up stream. All the near vessels had their sails set, and they presented a most interesting spectacle as they bore majestically up the river to their anchorage. On arriving there his worship the mayor went on board the Edgar and paid his respects to the admiral, who received him with the utmost courtesy. The number of visitors to the fleet has since been very great. Some astonishment has been created by the fact that whereas the vessels of the fleet were thrown open for inspection on Sunday in Scotland, where it occasioned con- siderable heartburnings and ill- feeling, in Liverpool they are to be closed, although there would be little if any objection made to such a proceeding. Sunday is the only day upon which thousands of the poorer classes of Liverpool can possibly have an opportnity of visiting the fleet. THE ALLEGED CLOTH FBAUDS AT LIVERPOOL.— The Morning Post correspondent at Plymouth says, the statements as to frauds by the naval cloth contractors are highly over- coloured, there being even some doubts whether any frauds at all have been committed. MOVEMENTS OF TROOPS.— On Friday, Sept 25, the 2d battalion of Coldstream Guards, now stationed at the Sheet- street Barracks for garrison duty at Windsor, will leave for the New Barracks, Pimlico. This battalion will be relieved by the 3d battalion of Grenadiers, from St George's Barracks, Charing- cross. The change of the troops being earlier than usual is in consequence of the lease of the Portman- street Barracks having expired, and the building being about to be pulled down, and not ( we may add) one day too early.— The undermentioned draughts are ordered to be held in readiness to embark for New Zealand, to complete the strength of the service companies of their respective corps, viz, 2 officers and 119 men of all ranks, 70th Foot, 27 men of the Royal Horse Artillery, and 15 men of the Royal Engineers, with one Medical Staff surgeon. They are to embark at Gravesend. The following draughts embark at Cork :— 1 officer and 144 men of all ranks, 2d battalion 18th Foot, from Buttivant; 2 officers and 30 rank and file, 40th Regiment; 5 officers and 36 all ranks, 65th, from Birr ; and 2 officers and 41 men, 57th, from the 20th depot battalion at Cork— making a total of 13 officers and 412 non- com- missioned officers and privates. CITY INTELLIGENCE. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. There is but one piece of " news" in the French papers, and that is, that the Moniteur officially proclaims the Confederate steamer Florida to be a ship of war, and so, incapable of being seized for the damages done by it to French property on the ocean. There can be no doubt to what the French Government is tending. ITALY. At this present moment Italy, counting 22,000,000 of inhabi- tants, has a " peace establishment''— Heaven save the mark !— of one soldier out of every 83 men. With an income of 623,000, OOOf, Italy spends 259,000, OOOf on her soldiers. A piece of sacerdotal pettishness on the side of the Cardinals has furnished a singular bit of luck for the Ministry. The Pontifical consul at Naples was found intriguing against the established order of things, and or- dered to get himself gone from the city. In a fit of foolish rage at this very natural proceeding the Pope's advisers withdrew ttie exequatur of the Italian consul at Rome. The course pursued by the angry priests gave the Turin Government j ust the opportunity it had been seeking ; at one sweep it gave notice to all Pontifical consuls to quit or cease their functions in the towns of Italy. At the eleventh hour were handed over at the Mont Cenis frontier the Italian bandits who had been taken from on board a French boat. SPAIN. The Washington Cabinet has demanded that the distance to which Spanish jurisdiction extends around the island of Cuba shall be reduced to three miles. It is asserted that the Govern- ment is little disposed to make this concession. THE PRINCIPALITIES. We noticed in a leading article last week the misconduct of Prince Couza with respect to the Greek convents in the Princi- palities. La France gives some details relative to the resignation of his Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Minister obtained proof that Prince Couza had, without his knowledge, concluded an offensive and defensive alliance with the Prince of Servia. Couza wanted to make the Minister the means of deceiving the pro- tecting powers. DENMARK, SWEDEN, AND GERMANY. V Europe of Frankfort says:—" We have just learnt that the Federal execution against Denmark is determined upon. Holstein is to be immediately occupied by German troops. The strength of the corps of occupation is not known to us. We can also an- nounce, on the subject of the arrangements entered into between Denmark and Sweden, that the Government of Charles 2V., in- formed of the grave decision come to by the Germanic Confedera- tion, has concentrated an army of from 18,000 to 20,000 in that part of Sweden facing Copenhagen. This Swedish corps d'armee will pass over to Denmark as soon as Holstein is occupied by the German troops." GREECE. The King of the Greeks has signed the agreement relating to the succession to the Danish throne. By this document King George renounces his right of succession in favour of his younger brother and his heirs. POLAND. Lelewel fell on the 3d in the engagement of Batorz. Six de tachments of insurgents are still operating in the government of Lublin. The gates of Warsaw have been closed for ten days to every person entering or going out. Two hundred inhabitants have been transported to Siberia. The Russian authorities have imposed enormous taxes upon the ancient provinces of Poland. A leading article of the Czas demands the recognition of Poland as a belligerent, declaring it would otherwise appear that the powers approved the present condition of the conflict and the bar- barous measures that are used. " This recognition,'' says the Czas, " would only be the logical consequence of the armistice accepted by Poland and rejected by Russia. It would not cost a man nor a shilling; it would put an end to all conspiracy, secure Poland and Europe from revolutionary designs, and preserve the dignity of the great powers, while it protected the interests of Poland." The Russian Governmeut in Warsaw has begun to apply compulsory measures towards tradespeople who had not paid their taxes. The places of business of all such persons were closed by the police. The taxes in question were then paid. The arming of bands for the insurrection continues on the frontier. An out- break on the Russian side of the frontier is also expected. Arrests of officials take place frequently. AMERICA. The statement of the capture of Charleston so broadly asserted turns out to have been unfounded. Like most other American news, it was the expression of the wish, not of the knowledge of those who asserted it. Federal advices from Charleston to the 31st ult state that the Monitors moved up on the 31st abreast of Moultrie, and attacked that fort. Forts Moultrie, Gregg, aud Wagner, and Sullivan's Island Battery replied to the Monitors. The latter passed Forts Sumter and Wagner without opposition. There were said to be no obstructions in the harbour, and an im- pression prevailed that the fleet could pass up to the city. The Confederate flag was still flying on Fort Sumter, which the Con- federates were endeavouring to repair. General Gilmore's ap- proaches were close to Fort Wagner. News received from Charles- ton to the 1st inst announces that the Federal ironclads had with- drawn from the attack on Fort Moultrie. The Confederates had remounted some guns on the ruins of Fort Sumter, and made other preparations for defence. General Gilinore had driven the Confederates from the rifle pits on the left of his advance line, capturing 70 prisoners. He had also run a parallel against Fort Wagner. No further bombardment of the city had taken place. DEPARTURE OF HER MAJESTY FOR SCOTLAND.— The Queen, accompanied by Prince Alfred, the Princesses Helena, Louisa, and Beatrice, and the young Princes Arthur and Leopold left Windsor on Monday evening en route for Balmoral, which they reached on Wednesday afternoon. They were received by the Prince and Princess of Wales. ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.— The citizens of London have been cited to attend at the Guildhall on the 29th inst, for the purpose of proceeding to the election ot a Lord Mayor for the year 1863- 4, in succession to Mr William Anderson Rose, whose term of office will expire on the 8th of November. At the Guildhall the follow- ing gentlemen " below the chair" will be put in nomination :— Mr William Lawrence, Alderman of Bread- street Ward, elected 1855; Mr Warren Stormes Hale. Coleman- street, 1356; Mr Ben- jamin Samuel Phillips, Farringdon Within, 1857; Mr Thomas Gabriel, Vintry, 1857; Mr John Joseph Mechi, Lime- street, 1858; Mr Edward Conder, Bassisshaw, 1859 ; Mr James Abbiss, Bridge Within, 1859; Mr James Clarke Lawrence, Walbrook, 1860. The Livery will, no doubt, return Mr William Lawrence and Mr W. 8. Hale, upon which the Court of Aldermen will select Mr Law- rence as the Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. He carries on the business of a builder in Lambeth. SMALL BIRDS.— For want of more exciting matter, the daily papers have re- opened the small bird controversy, and their columns have teemed with letters from the defenders of the feathered songsters, and replies from their alleged murderers. On the one hand it is contended that were there no small birds, there would be no wheat, no vegetables, and " no nothing," except wire- worms, slugs, cockchafer grubs, ct id genus omnt. On the other it is said by the murderers, unless we destroy the birds, the rooks eat our cherries, the blackbirds and thrushes take what the rooks leave, and make up with strawberries, pears, & c. The finches, the robins, the tits, and other small birds, take all our peas, our currants, our raspberries, gooseberries, & c, and so long as they can get these prefer them as more wholesome for summer use than animal food, thus leaving the grub family to themselves and their devices against young'vegetable plants of all kinds, at the very time when their depredations do most harm. The subject is a somewhat interesting one, but the serious and lengthened manner in which it is now being discussed, shows the great dearth of stirring events in the world of news. AT present neither side has the best of it in argument, which doubtless will be continued with equal vigour till something else turns up. It is certain that the present is an exceptional year, and that the continued dry weather drove all the worm and TEE VOLUNTEERS. ENGLISH AND AUSTRALIANS.— The match between the 1st com- pany of the Robin Hood Rifles and the Milang South Australians commenced on the side of the Englishmen on Tuesday last, at the Sudbury rifle range, Derbyshire, the property of Lord'Vernon, This match was the result of a challenge sent by Captain Mac- farlane, of Milang, South Australia, whose company possessed the greatest number of marksmen in the colony in the year 1862, and the challenge was that ten men of his company would shoot ten of the company claiming similar honours in England. One of the conditions of the challenge was that each side should shoot at butts where they had not been accustomed to practice. Dis- tances : 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, and 900 yards, seven rounds per man at each range, rifle, the long Enfield. Captain Mundella's company, the 1st Robin Hoods ( Nottingham), sent in a certified statement, which having been submitted to Colonel M'Murdo, Captain Mundeila was informed that his ten were ex- pected to compete with the colonial ten. The Robin Hoods obtained permission from Lord Ternon to shoot over his cele- brated range in the park at Sudbury on the 15th inst. On Tues- day morning Captain Mundella and his ten began the match. The weather, on the whole, was fine, but there was a strong wind. The following is the return of the full score :— Yds yds yds yds yds yds yds yds MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. The minimum rate of discount of the Bank of England remains at 4 per cent, and a large amount of business having been nego- tiated at that establishment the other securities, as exhibited by the Gazette return published on Thursday afternoon, show an augmentation. In other quarters transactions have taken place at 3| 4 per cent, but notwithstanding the present activity and firm- ness of the market most people look for easier rates after the pay- ment of the October dividends, when the available supplies will be enlarged, and a considerable proportion of the notes and gold sent to the agricultural districts for harvest purposes will have returned. In the meantime the commercial community are com- pelled to pay full terms for all the accommodation they require, but there is no difficulty in the matter, and commercial credit is still maintained. Trade in almost all departments continues healthy, without any excitement. At the Stock Exchange activity is only noticeable in foreign securities, Greek, Mexican, and Spanish giving rise to extensive speculative operations. Consols have remained in a steady position, and the closing quotations yesterday ( Friday) afternoon were 92f J for money, and 92f f for the account. The operations in the Foreign Stock Market during the week have again been active, and most of the principal securities have shown increased buoyancy. Mexican Stock has advanced about 2 per cent, while Greek Bonds have also improved If, Spanish Passive Bonds have risen l j, and the Certificates 1|, while the Confederate Cotton Lean has advanced about 3 per cent. Turkish Bonds have generally been at steady prices. The Loan of 1858 has advanced I, the L oan of 1862 I, and the Consolid^ s per cent.

THE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND.— The latest intelligence from New Zealand is unmistakably warlike. General Cameron has been permitted to assume the absolute direction of military af- fairs. The large force now under the command of the general has been recently strengthened by the opportune arrival of the 18th Royal Irish at Auckland, and there was at the last dates ( July 14), a body of not less than five or six thousand regular British infantry, besides the volunteers and militiamen, available for the protection of the Queen's interests in the provinces of Auckland and Taranaki. By the latest advices, the object of General Cameron appears to be to constitute the neighbourhood of Auckland the centre of the forthcoming campaign. Men and guns have been concentrated at the northern capital from all parts of the island. The province of Tarakani itself it is proposed temporarily to abandon, with the exception of the towns of New Plymouth and Wanganui, and the fortified position at Tatarai- maka. The news, although of a somewhat contradictory cha- racter as to the movements of the insurgents, seems to leave little room for doubt that another great rising of the natives is to take place, under the leadership of the powerful and warlike tribe of the Waikatos. THE GALWAY STEAMERS.— The Anglia, one of the four vessels built expressly for this line, sailed on Tuesday at 2: 15 p. m., for Boston. So great is the exodus of the lower orders at present that every third- class berth was occupied, and over 100 were disap- pointed. There were not many first or second class passengers. The ship carried 450 in all. Just as the mails arrived at the docks some excitement prevailed, as the Pilot, which came from the vessel to take the mails, was known to have a large number of " stow- aways" on board, bringing them ashore. Soon after, forty young men and lads, and five young girls were brought ashore, handcuffed, and marched off to prison. The crowd was so great that the constabulary could scarcely get along with their prisoners. They had not gone far when some of the young fellows got re- fractory, and attempted to escape. From the shouting of the mob, and the wailing of friends, the constabulary came to a dead halt. More handcuffs were used on the more riotous, and then a short march was again attempted ; but they were soon compelled to take shelter in the yard of Mr John B. Purdon. Two magis- trates ( Captain Blake" Forster and Mr Starkie, R. M.) having ar- rived, cautioned the mob. Meantime the constabulary loaded with ball. The crowd then began to disperse, and in about an hour after they were able to march down the prisoners to the court house without being seriously molested. The magistrates, being in court, immediately sentenced them to various terms of imprisonment,.— Dublin Express, ALLEGED EXTENSIVE FRAUDS ON THE PRESTON RELIEF COMMITTEE.— Much surprise and dissatisfaction, says the Leeds Mercury, has been felt by the public of Preston generally by a rumour that a considerable amount of fraud had been practised fer some time on the funds of the Relief Committee by the visi- tors of that body. About a fortnight ago an unpaid visitor was brought before the borough magistrates and committed for trial on a charge of receiving various tickets for relief, the amount of which tickets the prisoner had not paid in full to the parties en- titled to the relief so granted, w hilst in other cases the prisoner was accused of receiving money on behalf of persons who had ceased to be recipients of relief, the prisoner, in the latter description of cases, pocketing the money, and making a re- turn that he had paid over the money to the parties whose names he had forged. Yesterday, two paid visitors of the committee were brought before the magistrates charged with defrauding the cemmittee. Several charges of a similar nature were gone into, but it appeared in the cross- examination of Mr Hall, the assistant secretary of the Relief Committee, that a very loose and unsatisfactory system prevailed so far as regarded the duties of the visitors. They had been allowed by the committee to have discretionary power whether they distributed the whole of the tickets or not. If a visitor received 4s in tickets, for instance, and found upon subsequent inquiry that the person only required 3s worth of tickets that week, he would have power to deta; n a shilling's worth of tickets. He was not expected to bring an ac- count of what he had done with the shilling's worth of tickets, and could do what he liked with them [ sensation]. That had been the custom among all the visitors, and no account had ever been required [ renewed sensation]. The witness further stated that it had been the practice of all the visitors who had tickets left to distribute them to casual cases ; and that that distribution of casual relief had been entered nowhere. It was ultimately agreed by the respective advocates that both prisoners should be remanded until next Tuesday, bail being refused. The court was crowded, and the admissions made by Hall excited the greatest surprise amongst the audience. DESTRUCTION OF THE DUKE' 3 HEAD TAVERN, PUTNEY.— On Thursday afternoon a fire broke out in the well- known Duke's Head public- house, at Putney, belonging to Mr. Miller. The discovery was made by the police officer on duty in the district, who, as he was patrolling his beat noticed a dense mass of red smoke rush through the bar windows. Having succeeded in making the inmates sensible of their impending danger, he sent off for assistance, and in the course of a few minutes two engines of the parish attended. The parish engineers at once set their engines to work, from the mains of the Southwark Company and the river Thames, but it became evident that the fire would not succumb to such a limited force. A mounted police officer was therefore despatched to town for additional assistance. Mr Hen- derson, the chief officer of the D district, was at once started to the scene, with two engines and a strong muster of firemen of the London brigade. Upon reaching the Lower Richmond- road, they found that the flames were rolling out of fourteen rooms, through the roof, and lighting up the country for a dis- tance of several miles. Mr Henderson having placed the stand- pipes of his engines into the plug holes, all hands went to work in an admirable manner, but the fire continued to progress, and seized upon the private residence of Mr Nichol. Eventually the fire 5wasJ extinguished, but not until the Duke's Head and all it contained were destroyed, and the kitchen and scullery of Mr Nichol partly consumed and the roof off. GALLANTRY OF A BRITISH SHIPS'CREW.— In November of last year the American ship Sartelle was in a sinking state in the At- lantic, when she was hailed by the British brig Lacoste, whose captain rescued her crew. Not only did Captain Gray and the crew of the Lacoste endanger their own lives and go through con- siderable labour to rescue their shipwrecked brothers, but went short allowance" in order to feed them.

The arrivals of English Wheat, & c, at Mark- lane this week have again been moderate; and, with the exception of Oats, the foreign imports have been light. With only a small attendance of buyers this morning, the market presented a heavy appearance, and to press business, some- thing lower than the decline of is per qr accepted for Wheat on Monday would have been necessary. Flour very dull at unaltered rates. The demand for Barley was moderate, but prices steady. The Oat trade was inactive, and prices not in all cases maintained. Beans and Peas were in limited request at Monday's prices. The supply of home- grown Wheat has been more liberal at most of the provincial markets held this week. The trade has been dull, and, as we suggested in our last, the improvement in prices have been entirely lost, with the prospect of some further concessions being made. The transactions in all kinds of spring corn and Flour have been moderate, and if we do not quote any decline in prices, the tendency has certainly been against the pro- ducer. The weather since our last has been very favourable for the harvest in all the distant parts of the country, and no further anxiety is felt for its successful termination, which is rapidly accomplishing.— Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, old white, 40s to 46s; ditto, new, 43s to 49s; ditto, old red, 42s to 44s: ditto, new, 42s to 46s; Norfolk, Lincolnshire, and Yorkshire, 42s to 46s. liaxley— Malting, 29a to 39s; Chevalier. 36s to 42s ; distilling, 30s. to 35s; grinding, 27s to 29s.

METROPOLITAN I CATTLE MARKET, THURSDAY.— The supply of Beasts to- day was about an average, and in but middling condition. Prime breeds sold readily at fully Monday's value, otherwise, the Beef trade was in a sluggish state at late currency. Sheep— the sup- ply of which was only moderate— however, the trade was less active than on Monday, yet the previous quotations were well supported. Calves— the supply of which was moderately good— moved off slowly at previous currency. Suckling Calves changed hands at very full prices. Pigs met a slow sale on former terms.

The favourable quality of the English growth and the present prices are not calculated to encourage foreign merchants to make rash consignments to this country.

SPORTS AT HACKNEY WICK- B. BRUNELL AND H. ANDREWS.— On Monday, Sept 14, there could not have been less than 1,500 spectators assembled on J. Bauin's Ground, it being for the benefit of W. RYALL, of the P. R., who has a match now pending with J. Mace for £ 400 and the championship. Most of the notables connected with the Ring were assembled, Heenan, who is matched to contend with Tom King in December next, being present according to promise, and was received in a very enthusiastic manner. Prior to the custo- mary sparring in the roped arena that takes place on such occa- sions, the above pedestrians came on the course to run their four miles race, for £ 15 a side. The pedestrians had to make the circuit of the course twenty- eight times, and the whole of the arrange- ments being completed, they came to the mark. On starting they went away at a good pace, the lead being taken by Andrews, who maintained the advantage of position throughout the whole of the first mile, although so close was Brunell following in the rear, that the competitors, when they went by the referee for the commencement of the second mile, were not more than two yards apart. Dnring the second and third miles the match on the part of both was sustained in a most exciting manner, the men as they went dashing along in two or three splendid spurts changing positions, the lead being in favour of first one and then the other. When the pedestrians commenced the fourth and last mile An- drews was just to the fore, but Brunell, in a splendid dash, suc- ceeded in wresting the lead from him, and having come to the front, soon left his opponent in the rear, Andrews being so beaten off that he did not run the last lap of the distance, therefore Bru- nell finished an easy winner. The first mile was run in 4min 52sec, two miles in lOmin, three miles in 15min 14sec, there being no further time taken, as Andrews did not run the distance out. The stakes can be received by Brunell at our office on Thurs- day, Sept 24, at twelve o'clock. PEDESTRIANISM AT BOW. PARKEE AND HARTLEY.— On Saturday, Sept 12, these pedes- trians met on Mr C. Wilson's enclosed ground, the Olympia, Bow, to contend for superiority in a spin of 440 yards, for £ 5 a side, Parker receiving 10 yards. The betting was even, and in adjust- ing the preparatory matters J. Pudney, the M. C. of the ground, • was chosen referee. The pedestrians on coming to the scratch looked in tiptop condition. The men agreed to start by report of pistol, and on the signal being given they bounded off in good style. Hartley for the first two hundred yards gained some trifling advantage on his man, but as they went dashing along to the goal Parker maintained the advantage of the lead to the finish, and went in a winner by some five or six yards. BALL AND MAKTY.— These pedestrians next came on the ground to walk two miles, for £ 10, Ball receiving half a minute; 3. Pudney referee. The betting was 2 to 1 on Ball, who in the given time placed a gap of something like 110 yards between him- self and opponent. From the commencement Marty never had the least chance, for Ball, who was infinitely superior to his op- ponent in speed, maintained the advantage of the lead, and had so completely beaten him off that Marty did not go quite the whole of the distance, being much distressed. Ball therefore finished an easy winner, the two miles being covered by him in a fair style in 18min 3sec. HOWARD AND NEWMAN.— These men next came to the mark to run half a mile, for £ 5 a side. The odds were 2 to 1 on Howard. J. Pudney referee. On getting off the lead was taken by New- man, who at a slashing pace maintained the leading position until within fifty yards of the geal, when Howard came to the front, and on the completion of the distance went in the winner of a well contested race by a couple of yards. TODDY RAY V TIME.— In this match the well known Toddy Ray of Limehouse had been backed, for a bet of £ 15 even, to run 20 miles in two consecutive hours, and the event came off here en Monday, Sept 14, in the presence of a strong muster of the patrons of' the sport. Ray had to run sixty- five laps. J. Pudney was chosen referee and timekeeper. The odds were 2 and 3 to 6 on the " enemy," but there was not much of the needful specu- lated on the result. On starting Toddy went off at a good steady pace, and completed the first five miles in 29min 30sec, ten miles being completed in one hour; so that when Ray had accom- Elished half the distance he was far from having any time in and. Still, in his customary untiring style, Ray continued to pace along, and fifteen miles were finished in one hour and thirty minutes. Eighteen miles and 250 yards of the distance were run by Ray in lh 53min SOsec, therefore Ray had only got six minutes and thirty seconds in hand, and two miles yet before him. As it was impossible for him to win, he at once pulled up and resigned. Ray was waited on by Martin of Maidstone. PEDESTRIANISM AT BROMPTON. On Saturday, Sept 12, this ground was well attended to witness a 100 yards handicap race, for money prizes, which brought the following nine runners to their marks ;— C. Perry scratch, Atkins S yards start, Charles 5, Moore 8, Kenney 8, Smart ( of the Cold- stream Guards) 8, Smith ( of the Grenadier Guards) 8, Stephens 10, Risely 12.— First heat: Stephens 1, Moore 2.

On Monday a very large attendance to witness the 440 yards race between Page and Tewson, for £ 5 a side. A referee being chosen, and Lake, the pedestrian, appointed starter, the men got to business, Tewson being favourite at 6 to 4. Tewson on starting got a slight lead, which on going up the back stretch of the course he increased to three yards, and on coming into the straight was leading by 10 yards; Page then made a most determined effort, but could never get up, and was defeated by four yards. Time 57sec. The winner can have the stakes at our office on Thursday, Bept 24, at twelve o'clock. On Monday, Sept 21, a 300 Yards Handicap, for money prizes.

SINGLE WICKET MATCHES FOR MONEY. Several matches of this description have lately been played, in which good names have figured, but which we expressly leave un- noticed with the idea that such exhibitions, having besides the sum played for nothing but gate- money for their object, cannot but have a tendency to depreciate the noble game; and we trust that our views will be adopted by all true cricketers, and the vicious practice never be allowed to make head.

On looking at the list of the two elevens there seemed to be little hope of vic- tory for the College, but by excellent bowling and fielding they managed to make a better match of it than was expected.

OFFICERS OF PORTSMOUTH v OFFICERS OF ALDERSHOTT. This match was played at the Priory Park, Chichester, on Thursday and Friday, Sept 10 and 11. It was chiefly remarkable for the large score made by Capt Truell, 162. We hope when next the camp makes a " sally'' they will be stronger in bowling. This time the Garrison completely collared it. On the other side the trolling of Campbell and Robson was A 1, hence the small score of their opponents. The weather was glorious, and the splendid band of the lst Royals was on Friday a capital set off to the uninteresting one- sided match. The subjoined score tells all required anent it: GARRISON.

Walker, and to the bowling of the Hon T. de Grey. The latter was very unfor- tunate with the bat, hitting the ball into his wicket in both in- nings The wicket keeping of Mr J. D.

At last a cricket club has been formed at Paris. There are over ninety members already, including several Frenchmen, so we hope it is established on a permanent footing. Through the kindness of the Prefet de la Seine a ground has been allotted them for playing in the Bois de Boulogne, and, although a considerable distance out of Paris, there has always been a fair attendance of spectators, with a larger proportion of the fair sex than is gene- rally the case in England. Cricket is something new bere. The firstjnatch was played atPelousede Madrid, Bois de Boulogne, Paris, on July 27. The scores are small owing rather to the rough state of the ground than to any extra- excellence in the bowling. MR CULPEPER'S SIDE, lst inn 2d inn G. E. Gardiner, c Lloreda, b Bell 7 b Bell 18 S.

The ground, lent for the purpose by the Mayor of Dieppe, was very prettily situated, having the sea in front, and on it had been erected tents and booths, with a good show of flags; Gens d'armes were appointed to keep the ground, for such things are ne- cessary in those regions, and every preparation was made to receive the Parisians with due honour. It is but fair to the P. O. to state that they had some difficulty in getting eleven good men to go so far, and at the last moment one of their best men deserted them. Nothing could exceed the kindness and cordiality with which the Dieppe Club and several Dieppe residents received their visitors, indeed the Parisian bowlers so fully appreciated it that on Friday morning after a momentary gleam of hope in four wickets for 13 runs, Mr Baldock and Mr Beeston, who seemed to derive inspira- tion from the ladies tents, quickly ran up the score, until Mr Beeston being disposed of by a fine running catch at cover point, Mr Parkinson made the winning hit for two amid the cheers of the spectators.

The latter, however, did not make so large a score as was expected, owing to the very straight bowl- ing of Skelton and Collier of the Buffs. The fielding on both sides was admirable, Corporal Collier's wicket keeping for the R. A. being well worthy of mention.

According to previous arrangements an influential meeting was held at the Antelope Hotel, situated opposite the Ground at Southampton. The business was of the utmost importance, as a stir has now been made most vigorously on the part of the Messrs Ede and their friends, including the mayor, who, as a sportsman, cannot be excelled. Nearly 100 members have already been en- rolled, and when it becomes known that the management is in the hands of so excellent a president and secretary, we have no doubt that number will soon be doubled. The meeting took place on Friday morning, Sept 11, previous to the play, and, therefore, no time was to be lost. The chair was taken by Colonel Tryon ( a great admirer and supporter of the game), and the following were in attendance :— Capt Grimston, Capt Eccles, W. Burrup, Capt Day, Messrs J. Hunt, A. S. Thorndike, I. Lowe, H. Frere, H. Stewart, W. H. Preece, G. E. Yonge, E. L. Ede, G. M. Ede, T. Wells, H. White, F. Lan- kester, M. Batchelor, A. Dyer, & c.— Colonel Tryon said that he had great pleasure in announcing that the formation of a Hamp- shire County Cricket Club would be an established fact. It was also with much satisfaction that he had to state that Mr Cham- berlayne, of Cranbury Park, had consented to take the place of president. Circulars had been sent to many influential gentlemen in the county, and he was happy to say that the result was large promises of support. Amongst the letters of encouragement and offers of support which were read were communications from the Earl of Portsmouth, Sir F. Bathurst, Mr Chute, of the Vine, Basingstoke, and Mr Gilman, of Bishopstoke, the last- named expressing his intentisn of giving a donation of five guineas in addition to / the club subscription.— The committee who were appointed for the purpose then submitted the rules of the club, wiiich they had prepared, and they met with unanimous approval. The Earls of Portsmouth and Uxbridge were nomi- nated as vice- presidents; Mr J. Hunt as treasurer ; Mr G. M. Ede secretary; and Sir F. Bathurst, Col Bathurst, M. P.; Mr Beach, M. P.; Sir I. Guest, Mr Sclater- Booth, M. P,; Bir J. C. Jervoise, M. P.; Sir J. Simeon, Capt Grimston, Capt G. Day, Col Try- on, Capt Trollope, Capt Eccles, Rev C. Nicoll, C. Taylor, H. Stewart, G. H. Case, A. S. Thorndike, G. O. Deane, E. L. Ede, H. G. Green, G. E. Yonge, C. W. Est court, H. Frere, and A. Dyer were ap- pointed to act as a committee, with power to add to their number, with a view, if possible, of every district in the county being represented. The last match of the season will be played on the 28th of this month, viz: Eleven first- class Players of England v Fourteen Gentlemen of Hants. PECKHAM RYE STANDARD V BEIXTON.— On the ground of the latter on Wednesday, Sept 9, the Standard, after scoring 155 on a ( toad ground for five wickets, had the game resigned in their favour. Mr F. Clay took the leger with 53. The Brixtonians only got 35, Messrs Morgan and C. Tagg being well on the spot. The Standard in the preceding match with Battersea Institution got 1C2 for eight wickets, when rain put a stopper on further play. Messrs Bosworth, Man, and Tagg played well. Closing match at Peckham Rye on Saturday, Sept 19. SALESMEN V GROWERS, COVENT- GARDEN MAEKET.— This match was played on September 17, at Battersea Park.— Score : Growers 61 and 69, Salesmen 117 and 58 ( with five wickets down). It was suggested at the meeting that a club should be formed to be called " The United Covent- garden," which proposition was at once acceded to, 24 members subscribing to the same; the club to be held at T. Best's, White Horse, Covent- garden Market. PHOTOGRAPHS.— Messrs M'Lean and Haes, of 26, Haymarket, have devoted considerable time ( and very successfully) to taking photographic portraits of our best English eleven. Many of the groups are very artistic pictures, and all are well executed, and will form a lasting record of many well fought matches. We re- commend all our cricketing friends to inspect them, and at the same time they will find single portraits of all our best players. FREE FORESTERS V UPPINGHAM SCHOOL, SEPT 2- 3 AND 24.— The following is a correct list of the Uppingham Eleven :— W. O. Lucas, S, French, D. Briggs, A. Knowles, W. Earle, C. E. Green, H. Roupell, G. B. Poole, R. Fitzherbert, T. H. Mitchell, and H. Parsons. SOUTH LONDON UNITED V FRED HILL'S ELEVEN.— This match will be played at the Oval on Sept 22, when it is likely that an excellent array of talent will assemble. ELEVEN OF ENGLAND V TWENTY- TWO OP THE COUNTY OP HERTS.— This match is to be played at St Albans on the 28th and 29th of September, for the benefit of B. Roberson.

Starter: Mr T. Marshall. " The bustle on the busy road, The rusli along the rails; Th' excited throng from town to town, As space to science quails. Attest the fame of Danum old— Her triumph never fails." Epsom half forgotten, Ascot and Goodwood remembered but for one or two individual contests, more recent York itself no longer a subject of conversation, points, alas! but too clearly to the rapid waning of the racing season of 186- 3; and now the last of the three great events of the year has stirred the blood of Tyke and Cockney, Scot, Irishman, and the sportiug son of the Leek, the St Leger is a thing of the past, and the name of Lord Clifden fills the latest niche in the glorious array of names destined for eternal renown in connection with the coveted " riband" of the North. Those accustomed only to the temporary excitement, intense as it is for the time, which the close approach of the mighty Surrey contest annually evokes, can form but a faint notion of the enthralling, ever- increasing interest with which, from May to September, the denizens of the county, par excellence, of horseflesh, regard every movement, every minute and trivial particular bearing in any degree on the result of the great race which has rendered the quiet old Don- watered town world- wide notorious. The love of horse racing and horse breed- ing appears to be imbibed as certainly and firmly into the system of Yorkshiremen as money making is in that of a Jew, or idleness in an Italian beggar; small wonder, then, that year after yea1' we should have to record the same scenes of enthusiasm, the same all- absorbing attention to the momentous question of the hour, breathless interest in its trial and satisfaction in its result, which will characterise a Yorkshire race course so long as the national sport itself continues to exist. And truly when we recall the stirring contests of which the old town moor has been the scene— contests in which so many magnates of the Turf have through their equine representatives been participators— when we look back upon the triumphs of such great popular favourites as Lord Westminster and the immortal Touchstone, Mr Mostyn and the double victress Queen of Trumps, Lord Chesterfield and the doubtful- sired Don John, to say nothing of the thrice in succession repeated " coup" oi the home training Mr Petre, and the still more recent successes of the late Lord Eglinton, and the detni- god of the county who hails from Aske, we say again no wonder that, with the memory of those great struggles, the fame of those great victors, handed down from father to son, repeated and treasured up, as their details and well- remembered merits fall from the lips of veteran St Leger eye- witnesses upon the ears of all attentive youthful listeners, no wonder that from Malton to Richmond, from Middleham to cathedral- crowned York, to busy Leeds, the fashion- crowded cliffs of Scar- borough or primitive Settle, the presiding deity of the Turf— whoever lie or she may be— reigns supreme, and reckons os subjects for the nonce hoary age and budding youth, peasant and peer alike. Corn fields from which the golden treasures are as yet but half won, where the noon day sun plays upon waving acres still unharmed by the sickle, still the hiding place of the scared partridge, who little wots of the sure fate impending when stubble shall fail to protect, either him- self or his now- strong- winged offspring, com fields, meadow, and woodland, have each and all been far lazy, holiday lounging Sundays past the rustic Tattersalls, " the club" of the rural votary of Dame Chance, and pints of ale, sweet and muddy, sixpences and shillings innumerable have been betted and men- tally booked by red- faced bumpkins, whose very soul was in the deed. Toiling grouse shooters have tramped wearily over miles of slippery heather, beguiled by the gorcock ever in sight and ever out of range, and when at last the hour of siesta has arrived, and stretched at full length hard by some fell- side spring the pipe of consolation has been smoked, the whiskey of disappoint- ment swallowed, then lias St Leger talk been the solace and re- freshment. Village alehouses have been the scene of tierce dis- cussions thereon, and Pall- mall clubhouses have re- echoed with the familiar name. John has promised Mary that if Queen Bertha pulls through the shawl in which her affections are cen- tred shall no longer be denied; Augustus, the St John's Wood haunting, lias tola his Thaisina that, on Doncaster depends the purchase of brougham, horse, or bracelet. Staid old gentlemen, church going and port imbibing as to the cut of their garments and colour of their nose, have gravely pondered over the " Tat- tersall's- this- evening"- headed lines in their Standard or Globe, have stated to an equally red nosed and solemn companion their disbelief in the chance of Lord Clifden, and concluded with a prolix account of St.. Legers in their time, when Wentworths and Fitzwilliams did battle together; when Mr Mellish confidently awaited the triumph of his Sancho or Stavely; when thrice in succession the scions of Sir Peter bore away the prize, or Leeds and Octavian were shouted in the same breath, and say that those were days indeed ! One gallant old representative of these by- gone years and time- honoured names has, alas! passed away since last the saddling bell rang for the Leger field to assemble. No more shall we see the hale hearty form, or listen to the cheery voice of poor Sir Tatton. Familiar, through such a long succession of years as his figure has been to the frequenters of this, his favourite course, identified as he was in so many ways with the race itseif. his absence made itself strangely felt; the late dispersal of his favourite and deeply cherished blood stock had called into life again the memory of the good old gentleman, and those who knew him best mourned again the loss of one who throughout an unusually lengthened career, had by undeviating uprightness, honesty of speech and purpose, gained the respect and loveof all, and who died as he had lived a model English gentleman. With the full recollection of many an important and exciting " Leger- tide,'' when Greek has met Greek to contend for the great Northern prize over Doncaster moor, the present anniversary, it must be acknowledged, was productive of no ordinary amount of interest. Glancing back to the Derby Day, when the fond hopes of the backers of that popular favourite, Lord Clifden, were suddenly and unexpectedly dashed to the ground by the judge's verdict in favour of Macaroni by a head, and with that formidable rival out of the way for the St Leger, it was small matter of wonder- ment that his" lordship should have been at once installed the favourite for that event, as he was, at 4 to 1. Then came his race with the moderate Jarnicoton, which he only landed by a head. This was, however— partially, at least— explained away at the time, and the following week he was sent over to Paris to contest the Grand Prix. What a sorry figure he cut in that encounter over the Bois de Boulogne is notorious, but it would be sheer lunacy to suppose for an instant that the horse was in his Derby form that day, making all possible allowances for others being " disappointed'' or what not on the Ep- om Downs. Yet his in- glorious display, although his trainer still expressed himself san- guine about the Leger, naturally sent him back several points, and we next find him at offers of 7 to 1, while, consequent on The Banger's easy victory over La Toucques— the Blink Bonny of the French Turf— he took the place, at. the same price, lately occupied by Lord St Vincent's horse, who was also passed in the betting by the Oaks victress, Queen Bertha. From 7 to 1, Lord Clifden in the following month, under ominous reports, receded to 100 to 6, and then, for a time, was non est in the list of quota- tions. About this time the St Leger market became a more extensive one, " the books" being fairly opened, for Avenger, who showed great form at Ascot, was introduced into the betting at 14 to 1, and Saccliarometer figured at 1G0 to 8; King of the Vale, too, was backed at 25 to 1, and his stable companion, Mogador, at 40 to 1; and among the others now first talked about in connection with Doncaster may be enume- rated Borealis and Bonny Bell, Sea King, Woldga, Blondin, Annagnac, Onesander, and Judex, at prices varying from 40 to 50 to 1, while Pratique ( who had been backed at Epsom after the Derby at 100 to 6) went away to 100 to 1. At Goodwood Lord Clifden was still under a " pretty considerable" cloud, and some surprise was even manifested at 4,000 to 200 being accepted about him at " The Ship'' at Brighton, the head quarters of the Good- wood King, while Isoline's Cup victory brought Queen Bertha to 6 to 1. Before the close of the meeting, however, half the price laid against Lord Clifden earlier in the week at Brighton was taken about him. Then came the Brighton week, when Mr Jack- son laid Lord St Vincent the memorable bet of 11,000 to 1,000 against his horse; and Avenger came to 7 to 1. Here, too, a commission was executed about Borealis, who in the fond fancies of her backers was to prove a second Caller Ou, and she left oft at 20 to 1, while to the outside lot already enumerated were added Scamander, Clarior, Melrose, Dr Syntax, Light Bob, Double X, Tfewchurch. and The Serf. The course of time leads us on to the York meeting, where Lord Clifden came to 6 to 1 ( taken freely) ; Borealis to 100 to 6, and Queen Bertha, after Old Orange Girl run- ning The Ranger to a short neck, to 6 to 1. Later in the week Golden Pledge, introduced at 1,000 to 10, was backed, after winning the Ebor Handicap at 16 and 15 to 1, while Borealis, having been de- feated the previous week at Wolverhampton, retrogressed to 30 to 1. A vender was not much inquired after, a sus- picion being afloat that he was " short of work," and to the outside division were added National Guard and Bright Cloud, while, owing to the closeness of the race of The Ranger with Old Orange Girl, the former declined to 6 to 1, and the fol- lowing week saw Lord Clifden once more the leading St Leger favourite. Beyond the re- introduction of Blue Mantle, nothing especially occurred for a brief space save the " going away" ef Saccharometer and Pratique, and subsequently Mogador, and the support given to Donnybrook. Onward our " swift scene flies " to the Saturday preceding the Warwick meeting, when, heigh presto, away went Lord Clifden in the City to 25 to 1, and even longer odds, although at " the Corner" offers against him were reduced to 16 to 1, while The Ranger was once mora " up in the world," and Avenger again took a decided stand in the market. Thus speed we on to Warwick, where the doings are too recent to require but a passing allusion; suffice it to say that Lord Clifden was the " football'' of the meeting, and that the up and down movements respecting him were about as perplexing as the move- ments of the up and down trains at the Fenchurch- street Station on an excursion day. According to popular report Lord Clifden was " dead amis3. Lord Clifden had " ricked himself," Lord Clifden was " short of work," Lord Clifden " was lame," Lord Clifden had " the diabetes"— in fact, had Lord Clifden all the ailments his detractors had given him credit for, he must have pos- sessed the number of lives usually ascribed to the feline race to be still in existence. Before tha meeting was over h£ lordship assumed a comparatively healthy aspect, and Avenger " for money'' was perhaps the best favourite. Thus have we, as briefly as may be, summed up the doings on the all- important St Leger to the previous Saturday, when it was a nice point as to favouritism between Queen Bertha and Avenger— the highest offer on the field being 5 to 1, layers generally declining to advance the required half point more about either of them, and at the close of the afternoon 1,000 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, 900 to 100 was taken, and offers against him were then reduced to 100 to 12. Golden Pledge, too, received some knocking about, for 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 thrice between him andThe Ranger, " with a start.'' BorealisandBlueMantle 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 1,000 to 15 against Dr Syntax, who was now installed first favourite for the Great Yorkshire Handicap. There • was the usual " rush along the rails'' on the Monday by the noon and afternoon trains from King's- cross, and the only change of any import that, took place in town in the course of the morning, or during the transit, was the advance of Donnybrook to 20 to 1. The appearance of the quaint old town betokened a monster meeting, and evinced unmistakably how intense and all- absorb- ing was the interest this year in the great race of " old Danum.'' SUBSCRIPTION ROOM AT NIGHT. From a very early hour in the evening the high street facing the Subscription Room became tenanted by a numerous and eager host of speculators, whose numbers were rapidly increased by the arrival of the London and Northern trains. The attendance in the room also gave evidence of the absorbing interest created by the mystery that surrounded the St Leger, as from the opening of the doors until long after midnight the crowding and crushing, with its usual din, continued unabated, upwards of five hundred having signed the subscription book— by far the largest number on record. After the usual amount of gossip and friendly greetings speculation resumed its sway with the Great Yorkshire Handicap, for which Dr Syntax was still first favourite, although he was anything but steady, which may be accounted for by the anxiety exhibited to get on Blondin, who rapidly became as good a favou- rite as Mr Ash worth's colt, and at the'finish was unmistakably first favourite. Schoolmistress was introduced at 100 to 8, but after several investments being quietly made, she came promi nently into favour, and was supported to win some hundreds at 8 to 1. 10 to 1 each was accepted about Barter and Drummer Boy — the former from the very easy manner she won at Warwick, and the fondness exhibited by her owner, having the greatest number of admirers. Dulcibella appeared as a candidate for pub- lic favour, notwithstanding her recent escapades, and was backed rather freely at 100 to 8. Of the others enumerated in our " price current'' those most in demand were Cachuca and Silk- stone. The St Leger fever raged with unappeased appetite, the excitement created by the various changes that occurred during the evening in the positions of the favourites being considerably increased by rumours, most industriously circu- lated, affecting the chances of each. Avenger retained his pride of place with great firmness at the odd's he left off at in town, which were repeatedly noted down. Queen Bertha, although inquired after, was not supported with spirit until near the close of the room, when a demonstration was made in her favour, and she became as good a favourite as Lord Stamford's colt, and finally, although a very near point, it was generally agreed upon that she left off a shade the better. Golden Pledge was in some request, and 9 to 1 was booked freely. Lord Clifden again amused the public— not his friends— receding as rapidly as the metallics could perform, from nis opening price to 100 to 8, but he rallied towards the close, and left off nominally at 10 to 1, at which price The Ranger, who had not arrived, was put up, but met with little or no support. 100 to 6 was booked several times about Blue Mantle and Donnybrook, but the latter did not go so well in the market, and at one period he receded to 20 to 1, although at the finish his quoted odds were taken. Borealis was in some request, 100 to 7 having been repeatedly accepted about her. National Guard receded to 30 to 1, and three points over those odds were taken about The 8erf, and 40 to 1 to some money was scored about Blondin. THE GREAT YORKSHIRE HANDICAP. 100 to 8 agst.

The morning being, however, somewhat cold, and many of the competitors having arrived late on Monday night, their re- spective trainers did not bring them out quite so soon as antici- pated, and it was not until about half- past six that any " per formers" of note put in an appearance. Of these Blue Mantle was about the first and Lord Clifden the last to arrive, and a great rush of course was made to get a sight of the latter mysterious animal. The muster continued to increase, and by half- past seven there could scarcely have been fewer than five thousand per- sons of all sorts and conditions— including gentlemen, book- makers, and touts— on the Town Moor. Blue Mantle took a good gallop, led by Cadiz, and looked well, although the knowing ones pronounced him to be rather light. Dulcibella led Onesander and Avenger a merry spin, and the trio looked in admirable form, and went so well that the mare at once found friends for the Great Yorkshire Handicap, while the backers of Avenger pro- nounced his action magnificent, and were further delighted when, on pulling up, he appeared quite fresh, and did not blow in the least. Neither Donnybrook nor Erin go Bragh was much fan- cied; for the former went " lumbering," and the latter " short and stumpy." Golden Pledge, who looked full of bloom, went a rattling gallop by himself. Queen Bertha looked rather uneasy when she cantered, led by Welcome ; and although they went very slow she lathered a good deal, and gained no fresh ad- mirers. Borealis appeared much better and fitter to run than hitherto this season, and she went a good three parts speed gallop in such an easy style and with such fine action that, although there did not appear quite enough of her, she was generally com- mended. Blondin went but middling, albeit he was still fancied for the Handicap ; of Dr Syntax comparatively little notice was taken, while The Serf, although in excellent form, was any- thing but a Leger horse. About nine o'clock Lord Ciifden, who looked particularly well in his coat, and full of life, but who had his fore legs bound in rolls of bandages up to ibe knees, then took a slow canter to the top of the hill, led by Zetland. He then walked for some time, after which, still led by Zetland, he went the Leger Course. The pace was very strong for a mile, when he was eased a little, but nearing the Red House the steam was again put on, and he finished pulling double. As a proof that the pace was not bad we may state that he completed the distance in four minutes— without " blowing," although he lathered a little between his quarters and under his clothes. Many perrons who had been dead against the horse were evidently taken aback, and felt themselves bound to back him again. The Ranger did not arrive until later in the day. The effect of the morning experience was apparent soon after mustering at the Subscription Room, when the " getting out" on Lord Clifden, for a time at least, brought him to the head of the poll again for the St Leger, the highest price obtainable before going to the course being 5 to 1, while 11 to 2 was offered agst Avenger, and 6 to 1 agst Queen Bertha. The principal movement in connection with the Great Yorkshire Handicap was the promotion of Dulci- bella to the position of second favourite. The attendance was un- usually great for the first day, and the course in excellent condi- tion, though not quite so well covered with grass as we have seen it on former occasions, l'he fields, with the exception of the Great Yorkshire Handicap, were smaller on the whole than last year. Of the ten items, including a brace of matches, the sports opened with the Fitzwilliam Stakes, and Carnival, for whom it looked a real good thing after the restored form he displayed at the New- market July and Goodwood meetings, was, despite his 41b pe- nalty, backed at 6 to 5 and evens, and by an easy half length he stalled off' Johnny Armstrong, who was, however, dis- appointed in getting through his horses. Prince Arthur, without difficulty, bowled over the non- favourite, Cceur de Lion, in their match, and Newchurch proved the trump card of the very indifferent lot that started for the Doncaster Plate, of which Knave of Trumps and Trump'Queen were chiefly fancied. In this encounter Birdlime, who got badly off, struck into the heels of his horses on catching them up, and Clement was un- fortunately unseated, trodden upon, and rather severely injured. After the racing abilities displayed by Fille de l'Air and Linda lately, the Champagne Stakes was generally esteemed a mere match between the two, who were opposed by the heavily- engaged Ely and Rouge Crosse only. The latter had already run but indifferently on more than one occasion, and Ely, after having been spoken of as something superior, and subse- quently reported amiss, was at last brought out at Win- chester, where, unbacked, with Molly Carew and Hengist in the race for the Grange Park Stakes, he finished " nowhere.'' Both the French filly and Linda were supported freely, the former at evens and the latter at 5 to 4, and a few investments were made on Elyat 10 and 12to 1. The two former raced together all the way, their jockeys having strict orders to come right through, and the consequence was they both tired at the finish, and Ely, admirably ridden by Aldcroft, headed them at the Stand, and won easily by two lengths. The winner is a fine, strapping, old- fashioned colt, by Kingston out of Fairwater's darn, with a rather plain head, but fine neck and shoulders, muscular arms and thighs, good back and loins, and with plenty of substance all through. Before the race he was " nibbled at " at 50 to 1 for the Derby ; after his race 20 to 1 and finally 100 to 6 was taken. Passing over the Selling B takes — won by Folly, after a game race with Daniel, who only came at the finish— the" Match of 100 sovs was next brought to issue, and Dawdle, on whom 7 to 4 was laid, being unable to concede a stone to Wee Aggie, was beaten by a couple of lengths. The Great Yorkshire Handicap was contested by sixteen of the twenty- one animals coloured on the card; The Serf being reserved for the St Leger. Blondin " walked the high rope" up to the time the flag fell, starting first favourite, and Dulci- bella, during the morning, was next in request, while the quondam favourites, Dr Syntax and Barter, figured at 106 to 8 each. Lord Stamford's mare, making use of her lenient impost, had the lot safe a long way from home, and won in a canter. Being in foal, however, she has now, in all probability, terminated her racing career. The much- fancied Lady Clifden right cleverly disposed of the trio opposed to her in the Revival Plate; and then came one of the most interesting races of the day, the Filly Stakes. For this event Byren— who was beaten a head only from Coastguard at Yorls and afterwards ran second to Apennine at Stockton— was in most repute, but to- day she was shut out of the race, and in endeavouring to get through her horses nearly knocked on to her head ; and Saragossa, who, opening at 4 to 1, closed at double that price, turned up a winner after a good fight with Gondola. Midnight Mass walked over for the Glasgow Stakes, and it being generally known that the recently arrived Ranger would show after the races, hundreds of spectators re- mained to see him take his gallop round the course. No material change took place on the St Leger during the afternoon, although Lord Clifden— as a matter of course— went back again to offers of 6 to 1, while Avenger, after the easy victory of Dulcibella, was very firm at 5 to 1. The Ranger, like Lord Clifden, was nomi- nally at 6 to 1, and a point more might have been had about Queen Bertha; 100 to 7 was taken and offered about Borealis— who appeared to have a host of friends— and Mr Jacksoa laid an even 200 that she beat Lord Clifden " first past the post, one, two, three." Blue Mantle was at about the same price as Borealis ; Donnybrook receded to offers of 25 to 1 again, and 33 to 1 was taken about The Serf. The latest movements that took place at night on the " Sellinger,'' as also on the Cesarewitch and Cam- bridgeshire— the acceptances for which were posted in the Ring— will be found at the foot of the day's racing.

After some delay the flag was lowered to what would have been a tolerable start but for the whipping round of Minie and Lady de Trafford the instant the signal was given. King of Utopia showed in advance followed a length or so off by Carnival, Welland, and Lord Ches- terfield's mare, with Entremet bringing up the rear. They ran thus to the road, where the King gave way, and Mr Naylor's colt took up the running, next the rails, immediately in front of Johnny Armstrong, upside with whom were Welland, Bathilde, and Lady of Coverham to the distance, where the Bretby mare dropped oft, as did Mr Bryan's horse soon after, while Lady of Coverham keeping her outside berth just long enough to prevent Johnny Armstrong getting out, the favourite beat him easily by half a length. Three lengths divided second and third. " Wel- land was a bad fourth, Bathilde fifth, King of Utopia and Entremet next; Minie and Lady de Trafford, who were left at the post, walked in together some minutes after the rest had passed the chair.

In the failures preceding the start the favourite twicebroke away, after which the lot were despatched on pretty fair terms, with the exception of Birdlime, left a long way behind. The lead was taken by Trump Queen, waited on by Newchurch, Calabria, and the favourite, the trio next close up being Meriden, Despair, and Manchester, these after passing the Red House being joined by Birdlime, who struck into the lieels of something at the tan road, and shot Clement from the saddle. Regaining his feet he, however, retained hold of the bridle until badly kicked and floored in his effort to stop the mare, who thence went on loose with her horses. Of the latter, the favourite met with a disappointment near the bend, where Newchurch headed Trump Queen, till then in command. Half way up the race for a moment resolved itself into a match with Calabria and Colonel Towneley's colt, but Knave of Trumps coming again at the enclosure inade a game effort to overhaul Newchurch at the Stand, opposite which Despair came with a wet sail and joined the pair, Newchurch, however, winning cleverly by a length, the favourite beaten a neck for second, Me- riden was a moderate fourth, Manchester fifth, Calabria next; Trump Queen not passing the chair.

An excellent start was effected after five or six failures, Schoolmistress, Doctor Syntax, Dulcibella, and Hubert immediately showing in advance. The latter, however, soon took the lead, with Schoolmistress at his quarters, succeeded, when the lot had fairly settled into places, by ttie Doctor and Lord Stamford's mare, clear of whom at the bend for the far side Blitlifleld, Change, Blondin, and Drummer Boy headed the next division, the last three being Oldminster, Barter, and Silkstone. No material alteration occurred till the hill was passed, when the favourite shot his bolt, about the same time that Barter and the Spigot Lodge gelding emerged from the rear and got on better terms with the leading horses. Approaching the T. Y'. C. post, where Doctor Syntax compounded, Dulcibella closed with Colonel Towneley's colt and Schoolmistress, both of whom were beaten midway in the bottom, leaving the old mare clearly in command, followed from the Red House turn by Drummer Boy, Oldminster, and Blithfield, a wide interval dividing them from the others, led on by Hubert and Barter, and presenting a tremendous tail from the commencement of the wood. The remainder needs but the briefest description, seeing that, although an effort on Dr ummer Boy momentarily raised the hopes of his partisans at the final bend, it was all over directly Edwards took up his whip between the last mentioned point and the distance, and Dulcibella ran home the easiest of winners by three lengths. Blithfleld, missing the " fifty" for second by a length, finished a head over Oldminster, who was fourth, the next home in the order named, but thirty yards away, being Change, Knowsley, and Hubert. Only these passed the post, the rest having been stopped at the Stand, while Silkstone, whipping in throughout, walked in a long way last of everything. Run in 3min 19sec. Value of the stakes £ 945.

Clairvoyante, alter considerable frae- tiousness at the post and twice breaking away, jumped oft with the lead, followed by Polonaise, who headed her in the first two hundred yards. OH their left, nearly abreast, were Saragossa, Chalybeate, and Gondola to the distance, where Polo- naise and Mr Savile's filly were beaten. Gondola, thus left in command, was immediately challenged by Saragossa, who got her head in advance at the Stand, and won cleverly by three quarters of a length, Syren ( shut in, and only getting through her horses after being knocked on to her head below the enclosure) finishing half a length from the second ; Polonaise was a bad fourth ; Clairvoyante fifth ; Chalybeate last.

Edwards walked over THE SUBSCRIPTION ROOM AT NIGHT. " Confusion became worse confounded" as the evening drew on, consequent upon the large accession to the numbers that were added to the overcrowded room, which at last became so oppres- sive that many of the gentlemen were compelled to leave, and seek a cooler atmosphere in the vestibule and on the steps. Con- trary to expectation, the betting was not of that character or im- portance we have witnessed here in former years upon the eve of the St Leger, which in a measure may be accounted for from the " chops and changes" that had so repeatedly taken place, and which had afforded many persons ample opportunities of " getting out.'' Avenger, from the very easy manner in which his stablecompanion, Dulcibella, disposed of her field for the Great Yorkshire Handicap, was in increased demand, and it required some tact to obtain 4 to 1 at one period of the evening, but later he receded half a point, at which price he left « ff with a host of friends. Either the rough gallop over the St Leger Course with which The Ranger was indulged after the racing had concluded pleased the cognoscenti, or the canards afloat concerning him were looked upon as a " weak invention of the enemy,'' for he appeared in great de- mand, one gentleman long and intimately connected with the stable taking 1,000 to 200 about him, and later in the evening his old Sheffield supporter readily noted down 600 to 100 several times, which left him unmistakably the second best favourite for money. Queen Bertha did not appear to have pleased the hundreds that attended her levee in the morning; she was not so firm in the market, but still the layers exhibited no haste in taking any liberties, and she therefore left off at 6 to 1 ( offered). Lord Clifden at last settled down to something like a tangible price, 100 to 15, his closing quota- tion having been repeatedly booked by the partisans of the stable. 10 to 1 was betted against Golden Pledge, who did not exhibit bis usual buoyancy, and 100 to 6 respectively was ac- cepted to some money about Borealis and Blue Mantle. If we except Donnybrook, who was nominally at 25 to 1, nothing else was in request worthy of comment. During the afternoon the acceptances for the Cesarewitch and the Cambridgeshire reached the course, and were speedily in circulation, which gave an addi- tional impetus to speculation; many of the larger volumes opened thereon receiving a large accession to their subscribers. For the former Drummer Boy, from his running with Dulcibella, was raised to the premiership, and was ba ked at all sorts of prices, until he settled down at 20 to 1, at which he was backed to win some hundreds. Similar odds were taken about Umpire; and Myrtle was supported in well- informed quarters at 25 to 1. Twilight was inquired after, but little or nothing was done, backers declining to proceed at 40 to 1. Oakapple, The Serf, Carnival, and Emblem were respectively supported with much spirit at 50 to 1. Catch ' em Alive was again introduced as a favourite, 25 to 1 being readily accepted about him for the Cambridgeshire, and 1,000 to 30 each was betted against Birdhill, Borealis, and Blue Mantle to money. Turcos was also in demand at the same odds, and 5.000 to 75 each was accepted about Carisbrook, Queen of Trumps, and Despair.

" Each jockey strives with all his might Till, when the 8tand they've pass'd, LORD CLIFDEN gets his head in front, And wins the race at last." SOMNIOSUS. To describe the appearance of the town and approaches to the course to- day would be but the repetition of an oft- told tale, for by road and rail poured in a countless throng, and hour after hour still on and on rolled the living tide; while lumbering omnibuses, densely packed inside and out, rickety flys, and dashing drags rattled along, raising in their progress such dense clouds of dust that the double lines of pedestrians outside the town were com. pletely enveloped therein. Dust was in the ascendant and plentiful enough for a Derby Day, while water carts appeared to be equally at a discount. The dust, in fact, was a matter of so much discom- fort and inconvenience astomateriallyaffectthesales of bloodstock, for so blindingwas it in the vicinity of the Horse Market, that intend- ing buyers were, in more than one instance, unable to stand against it, and'loud complaints were heard both here and elsewhere at the parsimony or negligence of the authorities in not causing water carts to be kept in as constant use as practicable. Surely a town that derives so many advantages from its visitors during the St Leger week as Doncaster might pay a little regard to their com- fort and convenience. Never before probably has such a concourse been witnessed on the Town Moor, and the excitement manifested fully bore out the remarks we made at the outset. To- day the utility of the alterations we alluded to last week were fully put to the test and appreciated; we allude especially to the Ladies'Stand, which has recently been erected uniformly with— in fact, partly a continuation of— the private Stand. It has a saloon 52ft 9in in length and 13ft 6in in width, with a platform above of the same dimensions, and has besides two retiring room3. Other altera- tions much needed will, we are given to understand, be shortly carried out in the adjoining weighing stand. The buzz and hum at the Subscription Room was rather attri- butable to the settling going on there than to the further pursuit of betting on the Leger, although a peep into the state of affairs there made it easily apparent that Lord Clifden was first favourite, as he most decidedly was on the Ring mustering in force on the course soon afterwards. It was, however, at times no easy matter to make out what was going on, locomotion being difficult, and to force a way through the living mass was a task not to be lightly undertaken; whilethebetting onthevarious events, as usual on great occasions, varied much at times in different parts of the enclosure. Commencing at two o'clock seven items proved enough, and almost more than enough, to be got through on a Leger Day ; and of these the Municipal Stakes of 200 sovs each, as not unusual with races of this class, resulted in a match, Washington, whose last appearance was at the Newmarket July, and Lord Glasgow's Clarissa filly being the competitors. Odds were betted on the former— a strong, plain- looking colt, and although it took a little riding to get him out, he won easily at the finish. The Corpora- tion Elate produced a very fair field, and proved a rather specu- lative affair, for the majority were backed at one price or another, Waterwitch being in most esteem, while Columba was the least fancied of the lot, and while 10 to 1 was taken about her in one part of the ring, 100 to 8, 14 to 1, and even 20 to 1 was betted in other quarters. She was, however, victorious; for Despair, making an unavailing effort to overhaul her at last, was beaten by a head. The bell next rang out for the St Leger, and the rush of spectators taking up their places on the different sides of the course was certainly an extraordinary sight, for in a very brief space of time they were packed like bees in a hive. The numbers of twenty of the eight- and- twenty coloured on the card were speedily hoisted, but that of Amazonian was very soon removed, the mare having been weighed for without orders. Among the other non- star- ters were Cheerful, Woldga, Bonny Bell, Erin go Bragh, and Scamander, who have all been invested on from time to time at outside prices, but one by one received their quietus. What with more " getting out," and fresh investments after the horse had been again inspected, Lord Clifden advanced to 100 to 30, but so trifling were the changes with regard to the majority of the others that we rnay dismiss the " market" by noting that the principal movements of the afternoon up to this time were the coming of Cairncastle to 33 to 1, the additional support awarded to Onesander, The Serf, and Donnybrook, and the knock out of National Guard to 1,000 to 15. The nineteen com- petitors took their preliminary canters without loss of time, that for starting being now almost expired. Lord Clifden looked and went splendidly, as did also Avenger, Borealis, Golden Pledge, Queen Bertha, and Blue Mantle; but The Ranger looked light, and it was generally thought that his late severe preparations and arduous undertakings had deprived him of something of his former fine action and vigour. Both Light Bob and Clarior looked well, but it was evident the former wanted more time, and there was scarcely character enough about the others to pull off a St Leger. Several, moreover, were started in reality merely to make running for others ; thus Dr Syntax and Prince Lee Boo went to serve The Ranger, Erin go Bragh, who was to have done duty, not being quite " up to the mark;" Ouesander to serve his stable companion, Avenger ; and Clarior to assist Light Bob. After many breakings away, which caused considerable delay, the flag fell about twenty- five minutes after the appointed time to an indifferent start, and Lord Clifden being a very bad beginner was left several lengths in the rear, and lost ground as well at every stride he took when he was set going, so that at about half a mile he looked so hopelessly out of the race that 20 to 1, and even 100 to 1, was offered against him. Going down the hill, however, John Osborne sent him along a little, and it was truly astonishing how his magnificent stride rapidly made up the lost ground ; so rapidly, in fact, that he gradually caught his horses, and The Ranger and Avenger having by turns broken down, he defeated his remaining formidable opponent. Queen Bertha, by half a length, a result exactly in accordance, both with regard to first, and second, with the prophecy of our correspondent " Soirniosus," given by us last week, and written more than aweek before the race. Loud, repeated, and enthusiastic cheers greeted the victory of Lord Clifden, for the horse, as we have before had occa- sion to state, is a most popular favourite; and even those who stood him for the Derby, and yet perplexed by recent movements were afraid to stand him on this occasion, experienced some amount of gratification at least in knowing that they had not, in the first in- stance, been deceived, and that he was not die " impostor'' that, to borrow the words of our correspondent " Orange Blossom," -' crack- brained sillj" prejudice" ignorantly desig- nated him. The defeat, or we should rather say the breaking down, of Avenger was a sore disappointment to those who knew how good a horse he really was; for al- though many persons imagined he was but little if anything better than Ouesander, it was confidently affirmed by those in a position to know the facts that from what lie had done with Dulcibella, and the lump of weight he was capable of giving Onesander, his St Leger chance appeared almost a certainty, and Lord 8tamford, who has been most singularly unfortunate with his good horses this season, was very sanguine oi winning the race with him. Avenger, we may state, did not at first show symptoms of his leg having given way, but as soon as he was in the stable it was found that he had broken down badly in the near hind leg— so badly, in fact, that it is extremely unlikely he will ever run again. In fact, it was currently rumoured the next morning that he was about to be destroyed, and although this was not the case, he was so frightfully lame that it was with difficulty he was got into the van en route to Newmarket. That The Ranger was going well at the time he broke down, or rather his leg began to give way, is also undeniable, and his party were also very sanguine of success. Queen Bertha, although defeated, was not disgraced. Borealis ran a game and good little mare, and Golden Pledge attained the same position in the race he had obtained beforehand in the list of quotations. The pace was good throughout, having been run in 3min 17jsec— 4£ sec quicker than last year. Lord St Vincent, Mr E. Parr, and Johnny Osborne were severally congratulated most warmly on their united success. Lord St Vincent must naturally feel proud of being the owner of so good a horse, E. Parr of having trained him through good repute and evil repute for this great event, and Johnny Osborne— who rode him with consummate patience and judgment— on having ridden his first winner for the Doncaster St Leger. Lord Clifden is of necessity rather a bad horse for the Ring, especially for the " amateur bookmakers." The horse has been certainly " peppered'' most unmercifully at all sorts of rendezvous— so much so. in fact, that it was even a standing joke in the Ring a few weeks back that " the ghost of Lord Clifden was to be seen every night at the Oxford." The shadow, however, has proved a substance, and we trust the settling may prove a satis- factory one. Lord St Vincent throws in for a good stake, and generously put his trainer on 5,000, and his jockey 1,000, " to nothing." Mr F. Swindell's, who worked the money like a true general, also lands a large amount. The appearance, however, of Lord Clifden to- dayat once belied the absurd rumours that had been propagated respecting him of late, for although he was amiss at Paris, ar. d for some time afterwards, and although he some time back twisted off a shoe in his gallop — of which " molehill'' a mountain was made— we are assured that for some time past he has been neither sick nor sorry, but doing everything required of him. The touts, however, for the most part, gwt on the wrong scent, and the market was in such a state, so far as he was concerned, that even those supposed to be fully up to the actual state of affairs were alarmed and reluctantly abandoned their Derby and Leger love, and " got out" of their money as best they could. Lord Clifden is by Newminster, and the first of his get that has secured 8t. Leger honours. His grand- dam, Volley, was the first animal our old and esteemed corres- pondent Mr Goodwin bought for the Royal Stud of Sir George Peacock, at 300gs. The mare had a foal at her foot— Grapeshot by Alarm— and she was in foal to Melbourne. The produce was The Slave ( dam of Lord Clifden); and, to show Mr Goodwin's ap- preciation of the line of blood, he next bought Martha Lynn and Eulogy, and thereby acquired in Martha Lynn, the dam of Voti- geur, who proved the winner of the Derby and Leger in 1850. In Eulogy ( the dam of Imperieuse) Martha Lynn became the granddam of the winner ; and now in Volley ( the granddam of The Slave) she became the great granddam of the winner of the St Leger. Thus was the correctness of Mr Goodwin's judgment confirmed in his fondness for the Voltigeur blood. There is scarcely a parallel in the Stud Book where a mare like Martha Lynn is thus dam, grand- dam, and great granddam of the winner of the St Leger; certainly not in the same space of time. We need scarcely advert to certain absurd and adverse opinions that have been put. forth on this subject, opposed as they are to those of men of experience. The two succeeding items brought to issue excited com- paratively little interest, although they afforded plenty of speculation in the Ring. The Eugenie filly and Wild Thyme were most fancied for the succeeding two year old Sweepstakes, but Rose, whom many did not lay a shilling against, proved the winner; and the next Sweepstakes for two and three year olds proved at least quite as unexpected in its result, for Persuasion, the " worst favourite" of the lot, bowled over Livingstone, Mid- night Mass, and Light. In this race twenty minutes' " wait" at the post was occasioned by Persuasion lashing out and striking Whiteley, the rider of Lady of Coverham, on the calf of his left leg. Roaring with pain, the poor boy was assisted from the saddle and surgical assistance procured, but upon the announcement that no bone was broken, Whiteley, though very badly bruised, remounted and started with the others, but at the finish had to be carried to the weighing- room. By this time the 8t Leger excitement had somewhat abated, and some more was got up on Her Majesty's Plate, for which 5 to 4 was betted on Caller Ou. The old mare, however, as last year in the same race, suffered defeat, and after a close race with Jack of Hearts and The Knave, the former, running the longest, just won byahead. The Stand Plate, for which the top weight, Lady Clifden, was the fancied one, brought out eleven runners, and of these Creole beat the lot, and brought the Leger day's racing to a close. The betting on the course after the St Leger was confined to the current events of the day, and we must therefore refer to the bet- ting at night for further account of the doings on the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire. As a proof of the increase of visitors as compared with former years, we may state that the Stand receipts for the first two days amounted to £ 5,800, being an increase of £ 672 over those of last year. It is officially computed that to wit- ness the great event between eighty and one hundred thousand people were conveyed to Doncaster by rail, 9,920 being booked from Sheffield alone! To meet an anticipated increase of traffic thirteen new sidings had been formed, at a cost of about £ 6,000, but even these proved inadequate for the unprecedented throngarriving from all quarters of the compass in forty- five specials, besides or- dinary trains ; and the fact that the whole of the former, with one exception, were despatched on the return journey by half- past eight o'clock in the evening, attests well the excellent arrange- ments so ably superintended by Mr G. T. Wood, the very effective and courteous station- master.

Two lengths off Man at Arms was third, the favourite fourth, Stockinger fifth, Laura sixth, and Tattoo seventh.

THE RACE. Not to dwell on the eagerness of several, including Golden Pledge, Borealis, and especially Blue Mantle, thrice setting the field in motion, with twenty minutes' delay, we may state that at 3: 41 the lot got tolerably well off, save the favourite, whose sticking at the post left liim thirty yards behind ere it pleased his lordship to make a positive beginning. Not so, however, with Blue Mantle, who rushed off inadvance of Dr Syntax and Prince Lee Boo — both in the Ranger interest— with instructions to make the run- ing as strong as possible. Thus driven along the Doctor took his colours to the fore soon after the horses had settled into places, closely followed by Capt Lane's colt, Prince Lee Boo, Ciarior, aud National Guard, side by side, those immediately on their right being Columbia, Cairncastle, Lord Stamfoid's two, and Borealis. At their heels, and composing as it were the second division, lay Queen Bertha, Light Bob, Serf, The Ranger, Blondin, and Golden Fledge, the latter, however, like Dounybrook, gradually improv- ing his position and joining the front rank as they descended the hill, Jarnicoton joining on at the tail of the ruck, while Lord Clifden, evincing a disposition to halt halfway up the ascent, lost yet more ground, and, indeed, seemed quite disposed of, until a free application of the " prickers" evoked something approaching activity of pace. Little else demanded notice till just before reaching" the Mile Course, when Prince Le Boo, after racing head and head with Dr Syntax for a few strides, dis- appeared all of a sudden, and, dropping into the rear, was the first passed by Lord Clifden, gradually creeping up from the commencement of the wood side. Blue Mantle, thus left in attendance on the leader, was succeeded in a cluster by the Ranger, Donnybrook, Avenger, Onesander, Queen Bertha, Na- tional Guard, and Mr I'Anson's filly, with two or three others, pretty well up to the Red House, after passing which the tailing began in earnest, those palpably compounding being Serf, Blondin, Lord Glasgow's pair, Blue Mantle, Cairncastle, Onesander, and his stable companion Avenger, whose near hind leg, it was subsequently discovered, had given way. The decline of these, as' well as Donnybrook and National Guard directly afterwards, placed the favourite on better terms with the few competitors now virtually left in the race, though no important variation occurred until half way between the road and the bend, where Dr Syntax fell back, leaving The Ranger a neck in advance of Queen Bertha, but only tor a brief period, for his leg of a sudden gave way, and simultaneously with the rush of the favourite, burst forth excitement and uproar of the wildest description, unparalleled, perhaps, in the annals of the Turf. Lord Clifden was leading, with Borealis, whom he had passed in the preceding score yards, tearing away oil the whip- hand at his girths; Queen Bertha, inside, likewise struggling on at his quarters. Thus the trio, clear of everything, came on to about halt- way in the distance, when the outstridden little Borealis fell back, and the favourite, having the Whiiewall mare safe all the way home, defeated her, without an effort, by half a length. Borealis, finishing four lengths from the second, beat Golden Pledge ( fourth) by nearly the same ; The Ranger despite his break down was fifth. Avenger sixth, Clarior seventh, Blue Man- tle eighth, National Guard ninth, Light Bob tenth, and Dr Syn- tax next, succeeded by Cairncastie, Onesander, Serf, Jarnicoton, Blondin, Donnybrook, and Columbia, but all pulling up; Prince Lee Boo tailed off, and shut in with the crowd. Run in 3min njsec. Value of the stakes £ 4,975. DESCRIPTION, PEDIGREE, AND PERFORMANCES OF THE WINNER. DESCRIPTION.— Lord Clifden is a hard bay, standing full 16 hands high, with no white about him.

The Eugenie filly, closely followed by Wild Thyme, made running to just outside the distance, where Rose headed the pair. In a few strides Kapunda joined in front, challenged Rose at the enclosure, but never got up, and was defeated cleverly by a neck ; three lengths dividing second and third. Greville was a moderate fourth, close up with whom Oneida and Vanessa were next.

A long delay at the post was caused by Crisis repeatedly whipping round, as well as by the fractiousness of Persuasion, who lashed out and injured Whiteley's leg. At length Light jumped off with the lead, waited on by Livingstone to the bend, when Persuasion took up the run- ning, and won by a length and a half ; the third losing his stake by a head. Crisis was a bad fourth, Lady of Coverham and Harvest Mell next, Midnight Mass last. HER MAJESTY'S PLATE of lOOgs; three year elds 8st 31b, four 9st 71b, five 9st 131b, six and aged lOst; Cup Course ( about two miles and five furlongs). Mr S.

The latter cutting out the work at a tremen- dous pace soon obtained a lead of at least a dozen lengths over Brother to Rapid Rhone, The Knave being third, but, like Caller Ou, pretty well up with Lord Glasgow's horse. This order was maintained to about three quarters of a mile from home, when the quartet took close order, and the favourite col- laring Jack raced head and head with him for about two hun- dred yards, after which she fell back beaten. Upon her re- tirement The Knave challenged Mr Thellusson's horse, but never quite got up, and was beaten, after a magnificent struggle, by a head, the grey finishing two lengths from the second ; Caller Ou twice as far from him.

Zora, the favourite, and Newmarket ran side by side in fr^ nt to the bend, where Stock- owner shot to the fore, and retained his advantage to the dis- tance, where Creole, who had been gradually creeping up, de- prived him of the lead, and won cleverly by half a length; same between second and third. Curie finished a middling fourth, Knave of Trumps fifth, Zora sixth, the favourite, Calabria, and Erin go Bragh next. SUBSCRIPTION ROOM AT NIGHT. The comparative calm that pervaded the room this evening pre- sented a marked contrast to the noise and turmoil of the previous night, the visitors having both space and leisure to pursue their avocations. The early portion of the evening, as usual, was occu- pied in discussing the salient points of the now memorable St Leger, during which Lord St Vincent, decorated with a large rosette, " like unto a blushing bridegroom,'' entered the room, accompanied by his trainer, and received a most gratifying ovation. Late in the evening some speculation was indulged in upon the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire. For the former Jack of Hearts, from his clever victory over Caller Ou for the Queen's guineas, attracted the notice of the industrious, and was speedily promoted to the premiership, 20 to 1 being taken to win in a large sum, at which price Drum- mer Boy was also supported. Blackdown— the winner of the Good- wood Stakes, from the same stable as Jack of Hearts— was brought prominently into notice by a well- known speculator ac- cepting all the outside shots, until he completely tired out the layers, and the horse finally closed at 25 to 1, at which price he was backed to win some thousands. The Serf was in favour at 28 to 1, and 33 to 1 was noted down about Myrtle, Blue Mantle, and Anfield, the latter apparently having a strong party behind him, his opening price being taken with great avidity, and he left off evidently in great feather. Oakapple was supported by his noble owner with much spirit at40 to 1, at which price Twilight, Lioness, Umpire, and Summerside wereintroduced and backedfor somemoney. 50 to 1 each was laid against Keinptown, Agag, Dun- keld, Bathilde, and Melandra, and 1U0 to 1 against Faultless. For the Cambridgeshire, Birdhill was in immense force, his opening price having at the commencement of business been eagerly snapped up, and he closed at 100 to 6, at which price he was backed to win some thousands. 20 to 1 was taken freely about Catch ' em Alive and Borealis, the former, notwithstanding his notoriety, having a host of friends. Turcos was inquired after and 33 to 1 booked, and Lioness was also in request at 40 to 1. 50 to 1 each was noted down about Despair, Queen of Trumps, Mountain Buck, Royal Stag, Polynesia, Exchequer, and Fantail. An admirer of Jacque- line, after some little finessing, was accommodated with 5,000 to 4- 5 about her, and 1,000 to 10 each was laid against Caller Ou and Clementi. During the occasional pauses that ensued some stray shots were fired upon the Derby, Ely being in great request at 100 to 6. Paris also came in for his share of patronage, and was backed with great confidence at 20 to 1, at which price Blair Athol was supported. 40 to 1 was taken later about Claremont, and 50 to 1 about Prince Arthur.

The sale of blood stock to- day engrossed much attention, and for the particu- lars of the same we must refer to the return given in another column. The settling, too, kept many away from the course un- til almost the last moment, the more so as the Zetland Stakes ( the first item on the card) looked a very tame affair. For this race Onesander was backed at evens, and although Sauterelle tried all she knew, or, rather, all her jockey knew, the favourite stalled her off by a clever three parts of a length. If the opening affair was somewhat flat, the Sweepstakes next succeeding made ample amends, for Ely, who on the first day so unexpectedly bowled over the " cracks" Linda and Fille de l'Air, was to- day opposed again by the latter filly, Coast Guard, Dr Rooke, Prince Arthur, and Black Fawn. Ely, as a mat- ter of course, was most fancied, but he was destined to an easy defeat, for Coast Guard ( recently purchased for 1,200, and the outside favourite of the lot) won very easily from Prince Arthur, with the French filly a bad third, and Ely an equally bad fourth. The only deduction to be drawn from this " in and out" running is that Ely won his race on the first day from not being esteemed in it, the fillies racing their " heads off ." After the signal defeat of Ely 40 to 1 was laid agst him for the Derby, and after 20 to 1 had been laid agst Coast Guard, 100 to 6 was taken. The Match— won by " Sir Joseph's" non- favourite— got through, afield of thirty were weighed for tor the Portland Plate, Poland being quite as popular as the country of that name appears to be in divers quarters at the present time. Next in request at the finish was Welland, whilst Gemma, backed at first at 8 to 1, declined to 20 to 1, and Welland thereon became the second best favourite. The latter, who was very cleverly piloted by Fordham, his usual rider, Custance, being absent through indisposition, beat Bohemia by a neck, while the favourite did not obtain a situ- ation, The Juvenile Selling Stakes proved the " moral" it looked for Usher, and easily defeating Prescription at the finish, he was bought in for2o0 guineas, his entered price being 40 ! Vanessa— for what earthly purpose it is difficult to conceive— was started in oppo- sition to Carnival for the Eglinton Stakes, an essay that was declined by Tom Fool, Donnybrook, Borealis, Tarlatan, Prince Arthur, and King of Utopia, who were coloured on the cards. So it was, how- ever, and Carnival right easily ran home the winner by a couple of lengths. For the Cleveland Handicap The Serf just at the finish was a better favourite than either Johnny Armstrong or Polynesia, but the former cut up as badly in this race as he did in the Leger race of the preceding day, and " Johnny" beat Lord Chesterfield's filly by a neck, with Barter a bad third. Nothing now remained on " the card but the Scarborough Stakes, which Newmarket was allowed to walk over for and divide the forfeits with Macaroni— specially reserved for the Doncaster Cup on the morrow.

Prince Arthur took the lead, but was s& on joined on his right by the favourite, Fille de l'Air, Black Fawn, and Dr Rooke, the last- mentioned four going on together nearly level at the Prince's heels to the bend, where Ely and the Count's filly were beaten. Upon their retirement Coast Guard, last off', and more than once disappointed, got through his horses, and depriving Prince Arthur of the com- mand at the half- distance won in a canter by four lengths ; bad third ; Dr Rooke being pulled up fifty yards from the chair.

When more than half an hour had been lost in failures, the signal was given to a remarkably fine start, the whole with a soli- tary exception, coming away like cavalry in line. Queen of Trumps, in company of Lady Abbess and Leontes, showed in front for about a hundred yards, when Bion- della took up the running, with Leontes in attendance, this pair showing clearly ahead of the lot until joined and headed at the distance by Peignoir in the centre of the course, whence he was followed by Jackal, Bohemia, Creole, and Welland. At the Stand the latter became second, and getting up in almost the last stride, won by a neck ; Bohemia also reaching Peignoir at the finish, and snatching the " pony'' for second by a head on the Jost. Creole was fourth, half a length off, Wild Thyme, Liston, ackal, Lady Abbess, and Queen Elizabeth finishing next, so well together that we were unable to assign the fifth position. To these succeeded the Calliope colt, Marmion, and Poland ; the three last being Queen of Trumps, Fravola, and Cceur de Lion, while Bosebud, left behind, walked in some minutes after them.

Barter rushed off at score, followed by Entremet, Hubert, The Serf, and the top weight, Polynesia in the rear. They ran thus to the Red House turn, where Polynesia closed up, and on the falling back of Col Towneley's colt, Entre- met soon after was left in attendance on Johnny Armstrong, the latter being left in command upon Barter tiring at the bend. Thence it was virtually a match between Johnny and Lord Ches- terfield's filly, who reached the horse's girth at the half distance, but failed to get up, and was defeated after an exciting race by a neck.

The excitement that has attended the result of one of the most memorable St Legers on record having somewhat subsided, the subscribers, as if by general consent, gave themselves up to an evening's social enjoyment. Tlie Cesarewitch and Cambridge- shire were therefore but slightly touched upon, and the wagering — as will be seen— was principally confined to the favourites. For the first- named event Lioness, who appeared in some force on the previous evening, was made a warm favourite; at" 20 to 1, and atjfive points over those odds Blackdown was supported for money. 40 to 1 was booked for small amounts about Twilight, Exchequer, and Oakapple, and 50 to 1 to a " pony" was laid against Kemptown. The Knave was asked after, and after some badinage 1,000 to 15 was accepted several times. Later in the evening a noble lord, well known as an old supporter of T. Parr's stable, backed Blondin at his outside price of 1,000 to 10 to win some £ 20,000, but this investment had no effect in making Mm a better favourite, 100 to 1 being freely offered to the close of the rooms. At the latter price Blue Mantle found several friends. For the Cambridgeshire, Birdhill was in im- mense force, his opening price, 100 to 6, being eagerly taken by the followers of the Danebury stable, until the layers began to hesitate, and at the close those odds could scarcely be obtained. 20 to 1 was taken about Catch ' em Alive— who bids fair, to become a better favourite— at which price Borealis was in great demand. Merry Hart and Turcos were inquired after, and 1,000 to 30 was taken about each; Lord Stamford's pair— Limosina and Bar- chettina— were backed rather freely at the same price. Flash in the Pan was also supported at 50 to 1, Fantail also finding sup- port at similar odds. Of the others enumerated in the return given below Blondin was the most in request, and his noble patron— determined to have two strings to his bow— accepted 5,000 to 50 about him.

The Don Stakes stood first for de- cision, and in the absence of Lord Clifden, who was coloured on the card, it was reduced to a match between Tom Fool and Jarni- coton, who ran Lord Clifden a close race at Epsom, but was not fancied by the talent to- day, odds ranging between 7 to 4 and 5 to 2 having been laid on Tom Fool, and he was fortunate enough to land them, when meeting a bigger rogue than himself. The second event was a match between one of Lord Glasgow's Young Melbourne colts and Beloochee ( once backed for the Derby), neither of whom had been in public before, but odds were laid on the Yorkshire horse without com- punction after the two had taken their preliminary canters ( before • which 2 to 1 was taken), and he won all the way. hard held. There • was a talk about Lord Glasgow's lot afterwards for the Derby, and 20 to 1 would have been taken to any amount of money, but 100 to 6 being the highest price offered no blow was struck, neither would offers of 1,000 to 15 against the winner tempt speculators. The Town Plate was a second edition of the more important event decided yesterday, the field mustering a score. The lot got away pretty evenly after two or three failures, but Hubert, who ran in blinkers, as usual, taking it into his head to try, won all the way, two other outsiders obtaining the second and third places. The Cup came next, and in despite of Lord Clifden's absence ( he was struck out immediately after the St Leger) it produced great excitement on account of the meeting of Macaroni and Queen Bertha, as the latter's 41b pull in the weights was supposed to give her as good a chance as Lord Ciifden himself would have had with the Derby winner. Nothing else appeared to have a chance on paper, and it was virtually reduced to a match some distance from home between the Derby and Oaks winners, Queen Bertha sticking close to Macaroni all the way up, and but for Her Majesty having been cannoned against by Drummer Boy on his retiring beaten at the bend into the straight, it might have been a much nearer thing. There was nothing near the two at the finish, and Drummer Boy, who served his stable companion by making the pace very fast to the Red House, eventually returned to the saddling enclosure without passing the post; but there were numerous offers to back him for the Cesarewitch notwithstand- ing, and no more than 20 to 1 was obtainable. The Doncaster Stakes, although virtually reduced to a match, like the Cup, was another great card, for Lord Clifden's 101b penalty was considered almost sufficient to put Borealis on an equality with him, and the little filly had a host of admirers. She gave them some hopes in the early part of the encounter, and even money was laid on her in running; but Lord Clifden had been only slow to be- gin, as usual, and, taking the lead at the distance, he finally won as easily as he did the St Leger, reviving the old question whether he or Macaroni is realty the best three year old of the year, for it proved what weight he must have had in hand when winning the great event on Wednesday. The Cup, manufactured by the Messrs Garrard, is an equestrian group representing the well- known legend of St George and the Dragon, and Mr Nay lor must be considered fortunate to have obtained possession of such a trophy, with a horse like Lord Clifden on the ground. The Scurry, in the absence of Usher, went to Prescription, who was second to Lord Westmoreland's colt on Thursday, and her sale benefited the fund to the tune of lOOgs, she having changed hands for 150gs. The Nursery Plate was popular as ever with owners of horses and the public generally, for twenty- one of the thirty- eight on the card faced the starter, and there were several " pots," Eleanor opening a hot favourite at 4 to 1, but retiring at last to nearly double that price on account of the strong sup- port awarded to Alice Leigh, Annington, Antoinette, Harvest Mell, and Gazehound, who were freely backed up to the last, more especially the winner, Harvest Mell. There • was but little deiay at the starting post, and an excellent race hpme between Crisis and Harvest Mell resulted in favour of the latter ( Harvest Moon, singularly, won the same prize here last ytar,) by a neck, he having got on good terms with Mr Merry's fiLy ( leading) by Snowden getting him a good berth close to the rai B at the bend. The Park Hill is only noticeable for the easy victory of the favourite, Fantail, Bonny Bell securing the 100 sovs for lecond by several lengths from Canace, who has evidently lost what little form she once possessed. This virtually concluded the s oorts, as the second match between Lord Glasgow's and Sir Joseph Hawley's fillies, resulted in a forfeit, and Rapid Rhone was a lowed to walk over for the 200 Sovs Sweepstakes. The attendince of fashionables at the meeting was immense; and so few of the aristocratic patrons of the Turf were absent, that it woul#-\ Ve invidious to particularise the company present. We neediVV notice the absence of the senior steward, Lord Coventry < 0Vr'Ak tl3e death of Lord Beauchamp), who retires by rotation t , A>, yea.

They ran together for about a quarter of a mile, when Golden Pledge went to the front with a commanding lead, Drummer Boy lying second, several lengths in advance of Blue Mantle, the favourite and Queen Bertha next, Rapid Rhone last. In this order they ran past the Stand at a severe pace; which however somewhat slackened at the com- mencement of the Leger course, the lot drawing into a cluster at the foot of the hill, where Drummer Boy took up the running, and again forcing the pace, was followed by Golden Pledge, Blue Mantle, Macaroni, and Queen Bertha, the latter becoming third at the Red House. In the succeeding fifty yards Golden Pledge fell back, upon which Macaroni joined Queen Bertha, and took the lead on the retirement of Drummer Boy at the road, whence the race became a match between the Derby and Oaks winners, and the mare failing to get up, was beaten by a length and a half, eight or ten lengths separating the second and third; Drummer Boy was stopped below the Stand.

Miller) and Mr J. E. Hinds. Judge: Mr H. Tittensor. Clerk of the Course : Mr S. Crewe. Starter: Mr E. Briggs. Many years ago the borough of Newcastle- under- Lyme could boast of races as attractive and as well patronised as the sports provided in any other town of equal size in the provinces. From various causes, however, the races were discontinued, and the old course reverted to the Lord of the Manor of Knutton Heath, in which township it was situated. Not many weeks ago an effort was made to revive the good old sports in the town, the result being a more success- ful meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday last than the most san- guine of the promoters could have anticipated. The ground fixed upon for the revived meeting was near the Stubbs Walk, and the course an almost even one, within a few yards of three quarters of a mile round. The events on Tuesday attracted an immense body of people from all parts of North Staffordshire, and there was some really good sport. On Wednesday the weather was fine, and there was again a large gathering of persons to witness the sports. The following is a return of the running :— TUESDAY, BEPT 14.— The BOROUGH STAKES of 1 sov each, with 15 added ; three year olds 7st 91b, four 8st 101b, five and up- wards 9st 111b ; winners extra; about one mile and a half.

Queen of Clubs then again showed in the van, followed closely by Old Oswestry. Queen of Clubs was never afterwards headed, winning easily by a length.

TUESDAY, SEPT 15.— Twenty- one years have elapsed since any racing took place in the Isle of Thanet, and judging from the nu- merous attendance at the meeting at Margate on Tuesday last, the revival may be deemed a successful one. The course, which is situated near Tivoli Gardens, on a portion of ShottendaneFarm, by permission of Mr Robinson, the proprietor, was tolerably good going, although not well covered with turf. Mr Robinson, and some of the inhabitants of this highly popular watering place, together with the co- operation of the neighbouring gentry, have been instrumental in re- establishing the meeting. The spart, which was of the average class of country meetings, commencd with the Margate Plate, for which the five coloured on the card came to the post, and produced an exciting contest, resulting in favour of Real Jam by a neck. Star of the East ran away with the Licensed Victuallers' Plate, and was equally successful in carrying off the Visitors' Plate. With one or two slight draw- backs in the management, the meeting passed off satisfactorily, the sport finishing with the Bramfield Cup, which was presented by Mr F. Hodges, and won easily by Rhcebus. A temporary Stand was erected and Betting Ring formed, but there was no betting worth mentioning.

WEDNESDAY, SEPT 16.— These events took place at Langston on Wednesday, and were attended with unusual success. The course is pleasantly situated, about two miles distant from Mod- bury, on the Bigbury road. The attendance of spectators was larger than usual, and it is hoped that the exertions of the new executive will be attended with still greater success in future years. The racing was very spirited, and the spectators appeared to take a lively interest in the proceedings, of which the following a return :— The LADIES' PLATE of 8 sovs, for horses which have never won a prize; three year olds 9st, four lOst, five list, six and aged list 71b ; heats, about a mile and a half. - w Mr Dixon's b m Pick me Up, 5 yrs, list L ake 2 11 Mr Bell's b m Golden Dust, 4 yrs, lOst Dewdney 10 0 Mr P.

Scarlett. Clerk of the Course: MrJ. Murlis. Starter: Mr A. Waller. These races took place on Thursday and Friday, on a new course near Knowle Hall, about two miles and a half from the town tif Bridgwater. Owing to the fine weather and some liberally charged excursion trains, both up and down the line, on the Bristol and Exeter Railway, there was a very large concourse of spectators. Very few really good horses were, however, brought to the town ; a circumstance which must be attributed to the races having been fixed for a time when owners of race horses have not many animals in this part of the country. The racing was nevertheless very good. The ground was admirably suited, to the purpose for which it was used, and instead of a Grand Stand being erected there was, in addition to the Stand near the judge's box, a naturally- formed mound, which was enclosed with strong wooden pailings, and accommodated a very large number of per- sons, who obtained from its summit a capital view of the running all round the course. THURSDAY, SEPT 17.— The STEWARDS' PLATE of 20 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 3 sovs each ; three year olds 8st 71b, four 9st 101b, five lOst, six and aged lOst 41b ; heats, one mile and a distance.

FRIDAY, SEPT 18.— Owing to the lukewarmness of the inha- bitants of Maidstone, about seven years ago this meeting fell through, and until the present season there have been nor races since on Turnham Hill. By the assistance of some sporting gentlemen who have latterly come into the neighbourhood, the old committee have been enabled to revive the meeting, and issue a good programme, which consisted of five events, the first of which, the Maiden Plate, was won easily by Margery. Hilly Grove won the Member's Plate in a canter, but jumping the wrong side of a post immediately the flag fell, was disqualified, and the race awarded to the second, Rapture. The Ladies' Plate produced a good race, six out of the seven starting; all being well up at the finish. The Hurdle Race finished the card, Princess again adding to her former victories. Judging from the fine weather, a more nume- rous attendance might have been expected, although one side of the course was lined with the carriages of the gentry of the neighbourhood. From the success which has attended the ex- ertions of the committee at Maidstone, and the revivals elsewhere, racing in Kent may be said to be in the ascendant. The MAIDEN PLATE of 3 sovs each, with25 added; three year olds 6st 71b, four 7st 121b, five 8st 71b, six and aged 8st 121b; the second saved his stake; seven furlongs; 4 subs.

After going half a mile Hesperus dropped some lengths in the rear, and Rapture went on with the running to half way up the distance, when Margery came away, and won easily by a length; a bad third. The MEMBER'S [- PLATE ( Handicap) of 5 sovs each, 2 ft to the fund, with 40 added, for two year olds and upwards; winners extra; seven furlongs. Mr Marsh's br g Rapture, by Stockwell, 5yrs, 8st41b. S. Comery 1 Mr Nightingall's br f Hilly Grove, 3 yrs, 7st lllb Eagle dis Mr Marsh's b f Measure for Measure, 2 yrs, 6st lllb.. Herbert dis Betting: 2 to 1 on Hilly Grove. Rapture was first to show in front, followed by Hilly Grove and Measure for Measure for half a mile; the three then ran abreast to the turn for home, where Hilly Grove came away and won easily by a length, a neck between second and third. The winner and Measure for Measure were objected to for having jumped the wrong side of a post im- mediately after starting: after an investigation by the Stewards, the race was awarded to Rapture. The LADIES' PLATE of 3 sovs each, with 25 added; the second saved his stake; optional selling weights, & c; seven furlongs. Mr Payne's br m Margery, by Wild Dayrell, 4 yrs, 8st ( 40 sovs) Herbert 1 Mr Elphick's b m Miss Nightingale, 2 yrs, 5at 71b ( 40) Elphick, jun 2 Mr Walker's b m Peru, 4 yrs, 8st ( car 8st 41b) ( 40)..

After the third attempt they got well off. Peru and Miss Nightingale made play past the Stand, with Hilly Grove heading the rusk.. * Rounding the second turn Hilly Grove went to the fore, but at the bottom turn she again ran out, and was no longer in the race. Margery went to the front on coming into the straight, closely attended by Miss Nightingale, a good race resulting in favour of Margery by a neck ; half a length between the second and third. The winner was sold to Mr Marsh for 53gs. The HURDLE STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 25 added; selling allowances, & c ; two miles, over eight hurdles.

The SCURRY, for beaten horses, 1 sov each, with 10 added, was won by Mr Elphick's Miss Nightingale ( Elphick, jun), beating Peru and Newfoundland. The WEST KENT HANDICAP did not fill. CHEADLE RACES.

THE DONCASTER CUP.— We are requested by Messrs Weatherby to state that Lord Clifden was struck out of the Doncaster Cup on the 16th inst, and not on the I7th, as inadvertently stated in the Calendar. *** A full account of the Baden- Baden Steeple Chases will be found in the Supplement. Caractacus has been let to Lord Coventry. Captain Crow has arrived at W. Goodwin's stable. Mr Alfred's colours are black, crimson belt and cap. Whitehaven Races will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday the 29th and 30th inst. The following horses are gone to W. Butler's stable:— Elsie Venner, Zeloo, and a yearling by Yellow Jack out of Pastrycook. LORD CLIFDEN.— Harry Hall has received a commission to paint the St Leger winner for Lord St Vincent. Miss Hawthorn was struck out of the Monmouth Hurdle Race immediately the weights appeared. Died, on the 11th inst, Eliza, wife of Mr James Edwards, of the Mermaid Inn, Shrewsbury, much respected. Lady di Vergy has arrived at W. Wethereli's stables, Upper Lambourne, to be be trained for her engagements. The yearling colt Erostratus, sold at Doncaster on Wednesday, has gone into Drewitt's stable. Dictator, who was sold some time since to go to China, em- barked on Thursday last at Southampton. Mr Snewing refused an offer of £ 1,000 for Barter before the Doncaster Meeting. LINCOLN AUTUMN MEETING.— Attention is requested to an ad- vertisement in another column of the leading events at this meet- ing, which close on Tuesday next. Mr Churnside, of Australia, who bought so much blood stock at Sledmere and also at Doncaster, intends to leare half a dozen of the best looking ones in England to be trained. The yearling colt Brother to Pilot, Bright, a yearling colt by The Hadji out of Blight, and a yearling colt by Young Melbourne, dam by Voltigeur, have recently joined Fobert's string. HUNTINGDON RACES.— There is every probability of this once popular meeting being revived next year, under the most flattering auspices. Tarragona, Miss Julia, and West End were struck out of their Radeliffe engagements on the appearance of the weights, as was West End out of his Manchester engagements at the same time. Mr Merry purchased Zambeski— the yearling colt by Saunterer out of Margaret of Anjou— at Doncaster this week, for 930gs, and subsequently took 20,000 to 400 of Mr Jackson, and a similar bet of Mr Steel, about the colt for the Derby. KELSO RACES.— The Roxburgh Handicap and the Border Han- dicap for this meeting, which takes place on the 21st and 22d of October, both close on Tuesday next. Full particulars will be found in our advertising columns. Mr W. R. Holman has named the horses he purchased at Sir Tatton Sykes's sale as follows :— Grey gelding by Rifleman out of The Grey ling's dam, 5 yrs, Wandale; and bay gelding by Daniel O'Rourke, dam by Sleight of Hand, 4 yrs, Bisingham. MANCHESTER AUTUMN MEETING.— The programme of this meeting, which takes place on Friday and Saturday next, will be found in another column. The Maiden Plate, it will be seen, closes on Thursday. After the Hunt Race at Mallow Mr Purcell, of Burnfort, sold Miss Vandyke ( late Miss Harkaway) to MrM'Grane, of Dublin. Mr Cottrel, an English gentlemen, purchased Mr Purcell's Paint- box on the course after his race for the Mallow Commercial Plate. GLOUCESTER RACES.— Although the breach referred to in our last had been healed, and arrangements were in progress to bring off these races, as advertised, fresh difficulties have since arisen, and which have led to the postponement of the meeting till next year. There is no truth whatever in the report circulated respecting the death of Buckstone. Mr Mat Dawson has received intelligence of him from R. Sherwood since his departure from England, both from Malta and Alexandria, and the horse is doing remark- ably well. We regret to have to announce the death of Mr James M'George, which took place at Newark- on- Trent, on the 12th inst, after a long illness. Mr M'George was generally esteemed and respected, in both racing arid coursing circles, and his loss will be regretted by many friends in both branches of sport. THE LATE IPSWICH MEETING.— The case respecting the Borough Members' Plate was heard at Doncaster by the Earl of Stamford and Lord Rendlesham, two of the Stewards, who de- cided that Lapidist is entitled to the Plate, Lady Derby not having carried her proper weight. The following horses, under the care of Jos. Dawson, have arrived at Newmarket frsm Ilsley, where they have been located during the summer months:— Hesper, Brindisi, Battaglia, Bar- chettina, Limosina, Cambuscan, Dusk, New York, Alpheus, Mahometan, Diviner, Revolver, Oscar, Oakapple, Ellerton, Yamuna, and Cassidia. MACARONI.— We are pleased to announce the publication of a portrait of Macaroni by Messrs Baily, of Cornhill, from the pencil of Harry Hall. The reputation of the artist and the well- known character of the firm scarcely need our favourable criticism, but we can confidently state that it is a most successful portrait, and a very desirable addition to the collection of " Derby Winners." FIRE AT DONCASTER — On Monday night a fire broke out in some stabling, the property of Mr Somerset, at Spring Gardens, Doncaster. There were four yearlings in the boxes inside in- tended for Tuesday's sale, but before they could be got out they were terribly burnt, so much so that one died shortly afterwards, and it is feared that the others will have to be destroyed. The cause of the fire is unknown. WORTHING RACES.— Owing to the Worthing Handicap and Nursery Plate not having filled, two races have been substituted in the programme, to be called the Worthing Stakes and the Salvington Stakes, particulars of which will be found in an ad- vertisement elsewhere. The former will be a weight for age and the latter a two year old race. Both stakes close and name to the Clerk of the Course on Wednesday evening. MONMOUTH RACES.— This meeting, which gains in popularity every year, under the patronage of the Duke of Beaufort and several other noblemen and gentlemen connected with the Turf and neighbourhood, bids fair to eclipse all former gatherings at this delightful spot, for the programme has an excellent appear- ance, showing an array of first- class horses seldom seen in a country list. Visitors will find conveyances at Ross station, which will take them down the Vale of the Wye, or they can go via Hereford by rail to Monmouth. A train will leave each evening at 4: 40 for Shrewsbury, en route for Manchester. BLOOD STOCK FOR HUNGARY.— The following thorough bred stock have been purchased for the Hungarian National Company, established 1863, for the improvement of the breed of horses, and were shipped at Hull on Saturday, the 5th inst:— Sniff, by The Knight of Avenel, with a colt foal at her foot by Leamington, and covered by Raby; Lizzie, by Ratan, with a colt foal at her foot by Mildew, and covered by him again; Actress, by Flatcatcher, with a colt foal at her foot by Leamington, and covered by him again; chesnut mare by Teddidgton, with a colt foal at her foot by Leamington, and covered by Underhand; a chesnut yearling filly, by Leamington, dam by Teddington out of Senorita, by Hetman Platoff; Royalty, bay mare, by Post Tempore ( for a hack); grey yearling colt, by Daniel O'Rourke; besides several fine hunting mares. The second division for this company, consisting entirely of blood stock, will be shipped on the 12th inst. HUNSTANTON RACES.— This little meeting, which has been held for the last two years on the sands between Hunstanton and Holme, took place on Thursday, Sept 17. Two of the events on the card filled, one for horses, and the other for ponies, and several other races were got up on the course. The visitors assembled very numerously on the beach and on the cliffs. Four horses started for the first race, the Hunstanton Stakes, which was run for in half- mile heats, with the following results:— Mr Wales's Tom ( R. Freeman), 3 1 1: Mr Taylor's Tom ( Willoughby), 12 3; Mr B. Mace's gr m Nelly ( G. Mace), 2 3 2. Mr Willoughby's Kitty ( Willoughby) was drawn after the first heat— For the Pony Race, not exceeding 12 hands high, catch weights, three came to the post, and the distance was the same as in the previous race. A pretty race followed, and some betting took place, the race re- sulting as follows:— Mr Willoughby's bk p Miss Bess ( G. Mace), 1 I; Mr Dickenson's ch p True Blue ( Mace) 3 2; Mr Mace's ch p Jack ( Bouthgate), 2 3. Several other races took place,. THE DONCASTER MEETING, AND THE CESAREWITCH AND CAMBRIDGESHIRE STAKES. At last the St Leger mystery is solved, and the racing world has been treated with the sight of another " dead- un" carrying off a great event, Lord Clifden having been more knocked about, perhaps, than any horse that accomplished a great victory in modern times. Opinions, even up to the last, were various con- cerning him, and the arguments for or against his lordship were maintained with a warmth that would have done credit to the most enthusiastic squabblers on religious subjects. Now the murder is really out, it appears astonishing how the alarm could have been so well spread that there was something really serious the matter, for the very appearance of Lord Clifden at Doneaster told those who were not prejudiced against him that rumour had lied, and yet for nearty a week he was at a price in the market all over the country that made many who had hitherto been his thick- and- thin supporters turn against him. However, the cir. cumstances attending this particular case ought to prevent the successful carrying out of any further piece of finesse for some time to come. There were others in the race that were subjects for the knocking- about division of bookmakers ; but to the mystery surrounding Lord Clifden must be attributed the increased attendance at Doncaster on Monday, when it became evident, so far as the company was concerned, the meeting was to be one of unusual brilliancy. There were some interesting features in the proceedings of Tuesday, and the opening Fitzwilliam scarcely ever brought together two superior class gentlemen like Johnny Arm- strong and Carnival, who were too good for Lady of Cover- ham over a mile of ground, although she ran quite up to her York form over the same distance. There she was second to Doncaster, and a head before Erin go Bragh, for the Zetland, receiving 351b from the son of Sprig of Shillelagh, who thus met her on 2ib worse terms than Carnival did, and must not be reckoned more than 101b behind Mr Naylor's beautiful " miler,'' when the Lady of Coverham could run him to three lengths. Johnny Armstrong ran the great horse he lias shown himself in public all this season, as he was shut in on the rails all the way up the straight, and could not act until too late; but Welland, another " flyer," was out of his distance, and King of Utopia not being quite ripe for such company, none of the re- mainder were of a class good enough to compete with such a pair as Johnny Armstrong and Carnival at racing weights. Prince Arthur having a long way the best of Cceur de Lion in their match, and the quality of the competitors for the Doncaster Plate being very moderate, there was nothing calling for notice in either. However, the Champagne, poor as was the field, will long be talked about, on account of introducing to notice what appeared for the time the best two year old of the year, on public form, as everybody considered the racing- like Ely when he beat Fille de l'Air and Linda so easily. He had been out before, having run fourth to Molly Carew, Hengist, and Eastminster, at Winchester, when quite unprepared; but his party always had a good opinion of him, as the many engagements he started with this season will testify; and to see how Linda defeated Prince Arthur, Apennine, & c, at York, after running second to Paris at Goodwood, and the style in which Fille de l'Air cut down Scottish Chief and Idler at the latter meeting, not forgetting her triumph over Molly Carew for the Woodcote at Epsom, Ely must be set down as more than a match for Paris; for even allowing Fille de l'Air and Linda " cut their own throats" on Tuesday last, owing to their jockeys supposing they had the race to themselves, Ely beat Linda with far greater ease than Paris did, and there appears more wear and tear about him to us. The result settled the pretensions of nearly all the early favourites for the Derby; and Cambuscan, " Midnight Mass, and Scottish Chief, who were so close together in the race for the July Stakes at Newmarket, do not seem within a stone of Ely, who beat Fille de l'Air as easily as she herself defeated Scottish Chief at Goodwood, Midnight Mass's performance on Wednesday confirming the idea that the July " cracks'' were all overrated. The match between Dawdle and Wee Aggie was bound to be won by the latter, with so much the best of the weights, although the talents thought otherwise ; and those who know Dulcibeila well were satisfied when they saw her that she could win the Great Yorkshire Handicap, when giving only 231b to the worst of the three year olds. She went in quite a different style to that at Nottingham and Brighton, and having the best of the weights with everything in the field— more espe- cially with Change and the two St Leger outsiders, Dr Syntax and Blondin, who were, with Oldminster and Knowsley, the best class horses engaged— there is nothing to be astonished at in her easy triumph, and Drummer Boy is entitled to some credit for beating all the others, as he was not quite fit, the 91b less weight he has to carry in the Cesarewitch giving him a great chance for the race on the home ground. The somewhat unexpected appearance of Lady Ciifden among the starters for the Revival Plate reduced that event to a certainty, and the Filly Stakes would have turned out the good thing it looked on paper for Syren had she met with no mishap, for Saragossa did not beat her very far, and she was upsides with the improving Gondola at the finish. Of the three unplaced, Polonaise and Clairvoyante had been seen before on more than one occasion, and Chalybeate's debut was anything but a flattering one. Wednesday's racing was full of incident, and if neither the Municipal Stakes ( wherein Washington was only opposed by a Clarissa filly, belonging to Lord Glasgow, of no great account) nor the Corporation Plate require analysing, there was plenty of food for comment in the St Leger, for which all the " dead- uns" caine to life within twenty- four hours of the race, Lord Clifden, The Ranger, Queen Bertha, and Golden Pledge recovering from the knocking out administered to them during the Warwick race week, and looking fit enough to alarm the many operators who had stood against them, albeit The Ranger has a most suspicious leg. The under- sized Borealis looked perfection, and Blue Mantle never went better, while of the outsiders Dr Syntax, Cairn- castle, and Onesander took people's fancy the most; but nothing beyond the cracks ever looked like winning, and after Dr 8yntax had done his best by making the pace as hot as he could for the first half of the race, The Ranger, Golden Pledge, Queen Bertha, Borealis, and Lord Clifden may be said to have had the race to themselves, TheRanger looking formidable until Lord Clifden ran through his horses along the wood side and up to the Red House, having been so slow to begin, as usual, that it really appeared he had got a very bad start to those who saw him toiling on in the rear of everything for the first half mile. On the beaten lot giving way, however, after passing the Red House, he got on even terms with the leading trio, and before making the turn into the straight he got his head in front and kept it there for the re- mainder of the journey, the race scarcely ever being in doubt after The Ranger's leg gave way some distance from home. Still, the " pony" Borealis did not disgrace her lineage, although so far as Queen Bertha was concerned it was the Oaks running over again, and a truer run St Leger we never had to chronicle, Lord Clifden beating Golden Pledge, Blue Mantle, The Ranger, Clarior, Onesander, Jarnicoton, Donny brook, and National Guard, as far as he was bound to do from theDerby running ; and of the remainder that composed the field, viz, Dr Syntax, Cairncastle, The Serf, Blondin, Columbia, Prince Lee Boo, and Avenger, only the latter appeared by his performance liable to beat the second for the Derby and the two Oaks fillies, he having been discovered on re- turning to the saddling enclosure to have broken down so badly that there is nothing to be surprised at in the position he occu- pied at the finish, But for this he might possibly have justified our preference for him, as he finished almost as far before Borealis at Ascot as did Lord Clifden on Wednesday last; and his parti- sans had every reason, therefore, to feel chagrined at the mishap that befel him. Still, we cannot but feel some satisfaction at the victory of such a public favourite as Lord Clifden, a horse we had stood by in all his previous encounters, but whom we were almost compelled to desert when our analysis of the St Leger was penned, as he was then under a most gloomy cloud, and the reports concerning him were so contradictory, that it was impos- sible to come to any decided conclusion as to whether he was really " alive" © r " dead.'' Of the four minor items that succeeded the St Leger it is merely necessary to remark that Rose in the Two Year Old Handicap, and Creole in the Stand Plate, accomplished the " good things" they had been so long in keeping for— that Livingstone was incapable of staying sufficiently well to beat a couple of juveniles for the popular Two and Three Year Old Sweepstakes— and that both Jack of Hearts and The Knave outstayed Caller Ou in the Queen's Plate over the Cup Course. The 9st* 71b evidently told on The Knave for so long a journey; but Jack of Hearts proved himself a useful horse by winning under such circumstances as attended the race, for he made all the running at a great pace until Caller Ou went up and raced with him about half a mile from home, and after shaking her off he had to contend with another opponent in The Knave, whom he beat by sheer gameness, making his Cesarewitch chance appear a first- rate one with but 6st 71b to carry, as it is evident now there was no mistake in the good fight he made in the G- ood- wood Stakes with Blackdown and Anfield, and with Oldminster and Change at Wolverhampton, his performance merely confirm- ing the impression that Blackdown, Anfield, and Change are first- class three year olds. Thursday may be set down as an " off day," but was far from a quiet one in this particular case, one or two of the results being of a startling character, and more especially that of the Two Year Old Sweepstakes, where the Champagne Stakes winner was beaten almost out of sight by Coast Guard, a horse that had hitherto shown but moderate form at best, as he was only fourth to Apen- nine for the Convivial, and beat Syren but a head for the Gim- crack, at York. He had, however, been amiss just before this latter meeting, and there was such a manifest improvement in his appearance to day that the good judges took care to get on for next year's Derby before he ran, which the style he won in fully justified, even supposing the running of Ely is not to be taken notice of, for the Guard beat Prince Arthur and Fille de l'Air on their merits, and this alone would make him the equal of Paris, as he beat the French filly even further than did Mr Cartwright's colt on Tuesday. It is true she was all the worse for wear, and Ely had been so recently amiss that it was too much to ask of him to come a second time in one week; but it was only necessary to see Coast Guard gallop home after running the mile T. Y. C., for him to be installed the premier Derby favourite, and if he should meet Ely again in the Criterion at Newmarket, the event will be watched with intense interest. Of the fillies that met for the Match the daughter of Mrs Quickly turned out too moderate to compete with one of Lord Glasgow's Miss Whips, who exhibited but sorry form at Ascot; and of the Portland Plate it is only neces- sary to remark here that the fastest horse in the race won, in despite of a most steadying weight, Fordliam's masterly handling of Welland alone securing him the race, as he had a lot of ground to make up from the distance. The Cleveland is the only other item on the card to employ the pen of the reviewer; but the running of one or two therein requires netice, as The Serf, who was to have run such a great outsider in the St Leger, did not show even plating form ; and Johnny Armstrong immortalised himself ( not forgetting Carnival, who was fortunate enough to beat him in the Fitzwilliam) by carrying home his 8st 131b a neck before Polynesia, who exhibited about the same good form as she did here last year, for she was not one of the first off, and gave weight to everj thing but the winner and Bertha, so that her chance for the Cambridgeshire with 7st31bis not a bad one, as Johnny Armstrong would certainly find friends at 8st 91b, and he only gave her 201b here. Friday's racing fortunately requires no analysing, for the Cup and Doncaster Stakes afforded merely a confirmation of previous running, as Macaroni, having beaten the St Leger winner in the Derby, was bound to beat Queen Kertha in the Cup, after the easy defeat of the Whitewall filly by Lord Clifden. But it is plain the Derby was not a true- run race, so far as the running up horses were concerned, as after the performance of Blue Mantle, Rapid Rhone, and King of Utopia at Doncaster it is apparent they had no business within a length of Macaroni and Lord Clifden in the Derby. It is also proved indisputably that the colts are this year superior to the fillies, and it will require some thing extraordinarily good to rob Macaroni and Lord Oiifden of next year's Cup races. The Town Plate was merely a scramble, and as regards the Nursery it is only necesary to remark that Harvest Mell proved the good horse he always promised to turn out. The Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire Handicaps will assume more importance than any of next week's meetings, and as they are the only great events now to come off in 1863, they are en- titled to every respect, for nothing else besides the Derby will be heavily speculated upon to the end of the season. As specimens of handicapping they are looked upon as perfection, and the strength of the acceptances is a great compliment to the adjuster of the weights, for 83 of the 190 handicapped for the Cesarewitch stood their ground, although there was no forfeit to be paid by non- acceptors; and of the 210 " the Admiral'' operated upon for the Cambridgeshire 137 are left in. The three year olds are in the majority over the fours and older horses in each case, more especially in the shorter race; and the eighteen older horses in the Cesarewitch are a very sorry lot, for the highest weighted of them has within lib of one of the three year olds, and few of the following look like staying the two miles and a quarter in good company:— age st lb age st lb I age st lb Aurelian 5.. 8 5 Twilight a.. 7 8 Flash in the Pan a. .6 10 Black Prince .. a.. 8 5 Myrtle 5.. 7 0 | Corona 5. .6 8 Bellman ...... 5.. 8 3 Emblem a.. 7 0 I Killigrew a. .6 8 Umpire 6.. 8 1 Fitz- Eva 5.. 7 0 | M Philippe .... a.. 6 1 Faultless 6.. 7 11 Damascus .... 5.. 6 12 Mazagan a.. 5 13 King of Kent.. 5.. 7 8 Chere Amie.... 6., 6 11 | Copenhagen.... a.. 5 8 On an inspection of recent performances, it will appear that Umpire is by far the best of the above, over any distance, for he could beat Twilight over a T. Y. C., or mile course, at the weights, and seeing how he was backed in last year's Cesarewitch when giving 221b to his then stable companion, Myrtle, he mast have been found better than the mare at home. We do not attribut his defeat therein to a want of staying powers, but to a lack of heart for a finishing struggle, which he displayed in short races as well as long ones, until transferred to Lord'Coventry's hands, subsequent to which he has run so kindly, that lie is certainly worth trusting in the Cesarewitch with 8st lib, for he would have beaten Adventurer at 301b in the City and Suburban, and Hadding- ton at 101b in the Metropolitan, had he but been in the humour to try. The only other old one we can plead a liking for is Myrtle, who is meeting every three year old with from 3st to31bthe bestofracing weights, and ran Hartington so close last year, when evidently not prepared, that she must be a formidable candidate for win- ning honours this time. The four year old weights take a wider range than those of the older horses, and they are a decidedly superior lot, Wingrave being installed at the head of the poll, on the decline of several that were made to give him weight, and there are many more stayers among the twenty- three than are to be discovered in the above list, as the following will display:— Wingrave. Carisbrook The Knave Harlequin Hurricane age st lb .... 4.. 8 12 .... 4.. 8 6 .... 4.. 8 3 .... 4.. 8 1 .4.. Watchman Limosina .. Tolurno Welcome ..

Drummer Boy's running in the Great Yorkshire Handicap will make him appear the best of the others on paper; and unless Godding's stable contains a superior to him, Agag having been whispered their best horse before the weights came out, he will do New- market every credit. It is said Catch ' em Alive is in training for his autumn engagements, and if so his favourable weight is sure to make him a favourite again, if only with the public, Leonora and Lioness having been also talked about enough on different oc- casions for their light weights to bring her into notoriety. The forty- two three year olds are of a superior quality to that generally met with in a handicap, for, besides several good public performers, there are many that are presumed to be first- raters in the following list:— age st ib The Knight of Ellerslie .... 3.. 6 7 Barchettina.... 3.. 6 5 The Serf 3.. 6 5 Honest John .. 3.. 6 4 Oakapple 3.. 6 4 Lady of thelsles3. .8 3 Kangaroo 3.. 6 1 Romanoff 3.. fi 1 The Plover .... 3.. 6 1 Kemp Town .. 3.. 6 1 Villafranca 3.. 6 1 Thalestris 3.. 6 1 G by Wild Day- rell — Spring- bok's dam.. .. 3.. 5 13 _ It is true Godding's trio of flrst- ratejthree'year olds. Carnival, Anfield, and Isoline, are weighted out of the race, in compari- son with their four year old companions, Agag and Drummer Boy; but Carnival is, nevertheless, almost as formidable look- ing as the Goodwood Stakes hero Blackdewn, as he concedes him but 131b, and as Anfield appears to have the stable confi- dence, we cannot perceive one worth standing on against him single- handed until we come to Jack of Hearts, who has, with Villafranca, Barchettina, Summerside, and Melandra done enough in public to entitle him to all our respect, while the private| re- putations of Kemp Town and Venison are such that we are bound to hold them in the highest esteem. When electing Umpire and Myrtle to represent the old horses ; Buckenham, Agag, Lioness, and Drummer Boy the four year olds ; and Jack of Hearts, Kemp Town, Anfield, and Summerside the three year olds, it must not be overlooked that Myrtle and Summerside are in one interest, Umpire and Kemp Town in another, and Agag, Anfield, and Drummer Boy in a third, and the market must afford the best criterion as to what will be se- lected to do battle on the day. The Cambridgeshire, although it must be seriously influenced by the Cesarewitch when about one half of those left in for the latter are also in the shorter race, is a very different affair to deal with, as horses must be peculiarly adapted to the course to get home, and no moderate one can ever be expected to win, a fact that will put out of court the majority of the following old horses:— „- stlb Carnival 3.. 8 4 Isoline 3.. 8 2 King of Utopla. 3. .7 8 Change 3.. 7 6 Anfield 3..

The four year olds are a more useful lot, and as few of them meet Bathilde and Aurelian with the worst of racing weights, they are decidedly preferable to the older horses, many of the fol- lowing being certain to find their way into the market age st lb The Knave .... 4.. 8 4 Carisbrook .... 4.. 8 1 Qn. of Trumps.. 4.. 8 0 Gemma 4.. 7 18 Hurricane .... 4.. 7 13 Alerte 4.. 7 13 Queen of Spain. 4,. 7 12 Exchequer .... 4.. 7 12 Victor 4.. 7 12 Alvediston .... 4.. 7 10 Harlequin .... 4.. 7 10 Telegraph 4.. 7 9 age stlb Pilot 4.. 6 8 Clementi ...... 4.. 6 The Principal .. 4., 6 Bonny Breast Knot 4 C by Stockwell— Jacqueline .. 4.. 6 Tresham 4.. 6 Misfire 4.. 6 Tiptoe,. 5 4 .6 4 4 2r 1 1 Barbadoes 4.. 5 13 age st lb Jackal, byAugur4. .7 8 Birdhill 4.. 7 7 Limosina 4.. 7 3 Brighton 4.. 7 3 Polynesia 4.. 7 3 Tolurno 4.. 7 2 Catch'emAllve. 4,. 7 0 Little Pippin .. 4.. 7 0 Despair 4.. 6 13 Hubert 4.. 6 11 Agag 4.. 6 11 .

Catch tem Alive, Agag, and the Jacqueline colt are also deserving of mention, and there is no questioning the fact that the four year olds are a very formidable body. The three year olds, eighty- one in number, are of course the more deserving of confidence, especially when taking into con- sideration the juveniles have produced sixteen winners of the Cambridgeshire, against seven four year olds and an old one; and it will be hard choosing indeed between the following : age st lb Carnival .. 3.. 8 8 GoldenPlesige.. 3., 7 12 Glenorchy S..

It will nevertheless require something good to spring from the juveniles, and beat a lot like Comet, Borealis, Summerside, Barchettina, Melandra, and Kemp Town, and with Polynesia ( or the Jacqueline colt), Agag, Catch ' em Alive, Exchequer ( in the same interest as Kemp Town), and Carisbroak, doing battle for the four year olds; and Bathilde ( another in the Polynesia interest) and Aurelian for the old horses, the Cambridgeshire will be exciting and " open " enough — too open, at any rate, for us to make an absolute selection now, sweet as we are on Comet, Kemp Town, Exchequer, Carisbrook, Borealis, Summerside, and Barchettina. We must positively decline all interference with the events to come off at the fifteen meetings of the forthcoming week, and can only remark that the programmes for Radclifte, Richmond. Mon- mouth, Manchester, Great Yarmouth, Tunbridge, and Canter- bury promise fair sport, and the improving meeting at Tunbridge- is as certain to be as well patronised by Turfites of the home circuit as Manchester will be by the inhabitants of the Cottonopolis, or Richmond by the northern division of sportsmen.

CRYSTAL PALACE.— Return of admissions for six days ending Saturday, Sept 19 ( including season ticket holders), 70,534. HEAVY LOSSES IN SHIPPING.— A^ heavy loss has been posted at Lloyd's. The China ship, Ocean ; Maid,* belonging to Messrs Adamson and Co, with a cargo of silk and teas, valued, it is said, at upwards of £ 125,000, foundered off the river Woosung, Shang- hai, bound to England. The ship appears to be insured at Lloyd's, and most of the cargo at the China offices at Shanghai. It is feared that the Lord Raglan, one of the Liverpool emigrant ships, with 400 souls on board, has foundered. She left Liverpool fer Melbourne on the 27th February last, and has not since been heard of. The last insurances effected on the vessel at Lloyd's were done last Thursday, at the rate of 75 per cent, since which time no insurances could be effected on her. 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, SEPTEMBER 20, 1863. THE SLEDMERE SALE OF THE ENTIRE STUD OF THE LATE SIR TATTON SYKES. BY MESSRS TATTERSALL. With a catalogue reaching to upwards of three hundred lots, and forming the material of a goodly pamphlet, it would have been extraordinary if such a sale as that announced by Messrs Tattersall to occupy three successive days at 61edmere had not created some sensation. The importance of the occasion did not, however, so much centre here, as on the fact that this immense stud had for many long years been the favourite hobby of the good Sir Tatton Sykes ; a man whose name has for more than half a century been associated with the breeding and rearing of the English horse. It was this that " made'' a sale, which many, turfites more particularly, bad long since set down in their own private opinions as bound to be a bad one; and no doubt but that a large majority of the visitors came with the foregone conclusion that if tney did buy anything it would only be " a bar- fain." But in arriving at any such determination the ome customer entirely overlooked one very essential ele- ment, and this was the opposition to be encountered from the foreign market. In the settled programme of proceed- ings for any sporting stranger amongst us, a visit to Sled- mere was almost as certain a halt in the march as Doncaster xace week or Horncastle Fair. And, moreover, the tourist never forgot his call upon Sir Tatton, whose own ideal of the perfect thorough bred horse accorded far more with what they want on the Continent and in the colonies than with the fashionable sorts and strains that would be more likely to fetch a fancy price in our own country. As the list of prices and purchasers will tell, it was Austria, Hungary, and Australia that doubled and trebled the grand total at which certain good judges had estimated the pro- ceeds, as they bid up lor the short- legged, weight- carrying mares; many ol these scarcely looking like thorough bred animals, but with more the stamp and character of powerful clever cobs or staying hunters. Not, perhaps, quite the type to throw T. Y. O. flyers, but with good wearing legs, as the rule and not the exception, clean hocks, close to the ground, and plenty of hone and substance ; the absence of a certain style and quality might be excused by those who went rather for the useful than the ornamental, aud for a thorough bred one with some other aim than merely as a machine to wager over. It was in this way that Sir Tatton bred them, and it was on these terms that they were sold. Not but that many of the mares will breed xace horses when crossed out a little from their own peculiar standard ; aud, indeed, a better foundation to begin upon could rarely be obtained than a dozen or two of these picked Sledmere dames, to be judiciously matched herealter with something beyond the stalwart little Daniel or the neat, level Fandango. As we have already intimated, there was the same fixed ideal of form and use running through the whole stud, the Sleight of Hand mares being especially good, and the dam of Elcho the first to make a high price ; although, from her cobby appearance, few would have given her the credit of throwing the good run- ners she has produced. The daughters of Daniel O'Rourke were pretty generally smart and clever, with capital tops, and there were some nice young mares by Andover ; whilst the Fernhills bad more size, and those by Pyrrhus the First fine length and good looks. But we shall touch more minutely on some of these as they come up to the hammer. With speoial trains running on each of the three days from all points to the Fimber station, distant about three miles from Sled- mere, and " on" by every description of vehicle, at least 2,000 persons were present at the opening on Thursday, the numbers continuing to increase on each of the succeeding days. The arrangements, however, were excellent, and the crowd of a very superior order to the " customers" who throng our metropolitan marts, more intent upon filling their insides than emptying their pockets. These gentry would, in fact, have been wofully disap- pointed had they ever journeyed down into Yorkshire; as, alas! for the old Sledmere hospitality, there was not a drop or crust to be had unless you paid for it. Still, for several days preceding there had beennumerousarrivalsin Yorkand at Malton, prominent amongst whom were distinguished foreigners from Austria, Spain, Russia, Prussia, France, Italy, and the German States, with our own colonies well supported, and English breeders, buyers, trainers, and commissioners from almost every district in the kingdom. Of these it would be utterly impracticable to give anything like a list; but Baron Kotze was the representative of Prussia, Herr VonVoigt came from Holstein, General Bruderman was for the Austrian Government, Herr Virago for Belgium, and Mr Francis Cavaliero for the Hungarian company formed at Pesth ; Colonel de Butts was acting for the Emperor of Austria, Count Renaud was from Grosstralitz in Prussia, and Mr W. Phillips from New- atadtad, Prussia ; Mr J. Moss, of Mons, and Mr Spitaels travelled from Grammont, in Belgium ; and Mr Thomas Churnside was from Australia. There were no doubt a great many others from all parts of the Continent, while it will be found that M Cavaliero, Col oe Butts, and Mr Churnside were the largest buyers, the latter, an immense land owner in Australia, entirely upon his own account. Both Messrs Bichard and Edmund Tatter- sall were present, officiating in turn as at Quorn ; and at twelve o'clock Mr Richard mounted his rostrum, and opened the busi- ness with a brief address, in which he stated that he had been re- quested to flatly contradict certain false reports sent about that gentlemen had been to Sledmere and bought several lots pri- vately, when, in fact, not one horse had ever been sold, and, with the exception of one or two that had since died, all remained just as when Sir Tatton departed from us. There were 111 brood mares and foals, and two stallions— Fan- dango and Colsterdale— to be sold without any reserve. The first lot was then ordered up to the hammer, a grey mare Panmure's dam, 22 years old, served by Fandaago. The old lady looked very well indeed for her age, but she was knocked down to Mr Bower for 6gs. The second up was another grey mare, by Stumps, but only 19 years old, with a filly foal by Fandango at her side. Both looked out of form, and only made ogs; another grey, by Hampton, at 21 years old, fat and hearty, was booked to Colonel Cotton for logs ; and two others followed the pair, scoring 41 years between them, and 5gs each. Things now began to brighten up a bit, as a chesnut ( the dam of Odd Trick and G- aspard), at 19 years old, and with a filly foal by Fandango, made 60gs. It would, however, take half a Leger paper to notice every lot, and we shall briefly speak to the best- looking only. A bay mare, by Sleight- of- Hand, foaled in 1849, with a colt foal by Fandango, found many admirers, from her excellent appearance, having plenty of bone and quality, with clean short legs. The foal was al* o very good- looking, and Mr Churnside became the purchaser of the pair for 175gs. A bay ( sister to Sauter la Coupe), foaled in 1849, with a filly foal by Fan- dango, went cheap enough to Mr Haigh for 7Ogs; and a chesnut mare, foaled in 1850, by Sleight of Hand, with a colt foal by Fan- dango, both very good- looking, also a bargain, to Mr D. Robertson for 160gs. A brown mare, foaled in 1850, by Sleight of Hand, dam by Comus, with a colt foal by Colsterdale, found many friends, and after a strong competition the mother and daughter were booked to Mr Churnside tor 185gs. The next lot was entered to the same ready buyer for 90gs— a mare, by Sleight of Hand, with a colt foal by Faudango, with the mare alone worth the money. The next to enter the circle was a mare by Sleight of Hand ( sister to Odd Trick), with a filly foal at her foot by Colsterdale, for which Mr Crother Harrison gave 450gs— quite money enough. The King of Heart's dam, by Sleight of Hand, was much fancied from her good looks, and after some strong competition among the foreigners and the Duke of St Albans the latter secured her for 250gs, although, unfortunately, she sadly knocked herself about at Fimber station on the same evening while they were get- ting her into a horse box for Bedford. A bay mare, by the above- named horse out of a Hampton mare, with a colt foal by Colster- dale, and both remarkably good- looking, went to Mr G. H. Parker for 200gs. Colonel de Butts then bought a very smart short- legged mare, by Sleight of Hand out of Wicket, by Stumps, with a filly foal at her side, by Colsterdale, for 195gs; and the next lbt also fell to the. colonel; but the sixty- fifth lot, a good- looking mare, by Sleight of Hand, with a filly foal by Fandango, was knocked down for 40gs to Mr Hornby— a very cheap purchase indeed. The four succeeding lots, as will be seen by our return, were also cre- dited to Colonel deButts, and charming mares they are, with timber enough under them to carry any reasonable weight anywhere. Alge- bra, a nice mare, by Mathematician, with a handsome foal, became the property of the Hon C. W. W. Fitzwilliam for l- 70gs ; and Skewball, by Pyrrhus the First, with a pretty chesnut foal by Fandango, of Mr Holloway for llOgs— another " bargain.'' The seventy- ninth and eightieth lots, and both splendid mares, were secured by Colonel de Butts; and a handsome chesnut mare, by Wownsley out of sister to Grey Momus, went cheap to Mr Cook- son. A bay mare, foaled in 1854, by Worrnsley out of sister to Driffield, with a colt, her own colour, by Fandango, both very good at all points, were then sold to Mr Haigh for 280 guineas; and sister to Gridiron, foaled in 1856, by Daniel O'Rourke, with a filly foal by Fandango, the latter rather small, but the mare with a deal of fashion, to Count Benaud for 155gs. Many other good- looking mares reached only to smaller prices, and some good investments were made in obtaining them. The first of the t wo stallions then came up, Colsterdale, by Lanercost, dam by Tomboy, the horse looking re- markably well in every respect, and showing great power at every required point, if a trifle heavy about the neck ; his appearance, however, commanded but few bidders, and Mr John Osborne got him at the low figure of 300gs, a very cheap horse indeed, as nearly all his get stay well; awd Sir Tatton bought him at nothing under l, 000gs. Snarry, the stud groom, next let Fandango into the circle, a bay horse, by Barnton out of Castanette, by Don John, and the sire of Bolero, Cellarius, Livingstone, Lord Albert, Ballerino, and others. He also appeared full of life and spirit, exhibiting im- mense power, with much quality and fashion, but to the astonish- ment of almost every one he was sold to M Cavaliero for 500gs, when it was generally thought he would have made another 3, OOOgs ! A false report, however, had been circulated, to serve certain parties, that the horse was not sound, which no doubt was the cause of his going so cheap, but three hundred pounds were soon offered to the lucky buyer for his bargain. This, however, was refused, and a veterinary surgeon called in to examine the horse on the following day in the presence of a great many gentlemen, and he immediately pronounced Fandango to be sound in every respect, thus confirming the worth of M Cavaliero's purchase. The sale of this horse terminated the first day's sale, which may be termed a wonderfully good one. The whole of the mares looked in splendid condition, but through the foals having had the influenza very badly in the spring the majority of them were of course verj- much out of sorts. Ten of them were afterwards sold for 100 guineas, the chief cause of their going so cheap being that, the mares were under orders for abroad, where the young things could not accompany them. The proceeds of this day's sale reached to £ 9,803. On Friday the attendance was much more numerous than on the preceding day, with a fair sprinking of stylish drags ranged round the ring, which was well staked and roped out, and wherein the horses had plenty of room to walk round and show themselves. At twelve o'clock Mr Edmund Tattersall mounted the auction box. a very capitally- constructed one, and immediately proceeded to business by disposing of the three year old fillies, many of which, from their long run upon rich pasture land, backed by a liberal allowance of good corn and hay in the winter, had grown into very strong useful- looking animals. Still, in consequence of lying out so much, they were very rough in their coats, and this caused them to appear rather deficient in quality. The first offered for sale was one of the best- looking fillies of the whole lot, by Rifle- man out of a mare by Pyrrhus the First. The hammer fell to the bid of lOogs from Mr Crisp, who was acting for Prussia. A brown filly by Rifleman, dam by Sleight of Hand, a cloddy but very useful animal, was booked for 135gs to Col de Butts ; and Mr Hodgson purchased for lOOgs a very smart- looking filly by Rifleman out of Sauter la Coupe's dam. A chesnut by Daniel O'Rourke out of Naughty Boy's dam, and a remarkably well- shaped animal, was fancied by Mr Craven, who had ' her at 120gs. A hundred from Mr Cookson secured a chesnut filly by Daniel O'Rourke, dam by Sleight of Hand out of Monge's dam, and a big, roomy, and very blood- like mare she is. Many other fillies made fair prices, and a chesnut colt by Rifleman ( an own brother to Ross), the only colt among the 31 three year olds, reached to 150gs, although a thick, heavy, lumbering- looking brute, and not worth a tithe of the money given for him. He, at any rate, is well out of the country. The sale of the two year old fillies then came on, Mr Fobert buying the first one up for 34gs, and very cheap she is. Mr Churnside, Mr Phillips, William Day, and Mr Hodgman selected the best to our fancy, but there was nothing particularly grand among many of the others, and some were bought up at very low prices. Mr Richard Tattersall now succeeded Mr Edmund, to proceed with selling the yearlings, which looked very healthy and bright in their coats, and well up in flesh. Many of them were very strong and racing- like, and nearly every colt and filly was by Colsterdale, Daniel O'Rourke, or Fandango. The first brought out was by Colsterdale out of sister to Wollaton, a smart little fellow, that John Osborne, being particularly fond of this horse's get, snapped up at 32gs. The second was a bay colt by the same horse, dam by Sleight of Hand, a fine- shaped strong colt, with many admirers and would- be buyers after him, but Mr Churnside obtained him for 130gs. John Osborne bought the next, by Coltersdale out of Monge's dam, and a bargain, too; while the fourth lot out was a very handsome colt by the above horse out of Centurion's dam, and really a picture to look at, with plenty of bone, fine shoulders, back and loins, capital arms, thighs, and hocks, and a bloodlike head and neck. He went dirt cheap to Mr Egerton for lOOgs. MrJ. Weatherby also bought a very nice level colt for 65gs, by Colster- dale, dam by Fernhill; and a colt by Snowdon Dunhill, not par- ticularly attractive, made 50gs, with Count Renaud as the pur- chaser. Mr Ewbank obtained a very smart racing- like colt by Daniel O'Rourke out of sister to Odd Trick, for 70gs ; and a ches- nut colt by Daniel O'Rourke, dam by Sleight of Hand, granddam by Comus, a very handsome youngster, showing plenty of bone and quality, went in " easy'' to Mr Weatherby for 115gs. Mr C'uurnside claimed a handsome colt by the above horse, dam by Sleight of Hand out of Hamptonia, for 165gs ; and a grey colt by Fandango, dam by Sleight of Hand out of Wicket, by Stumps, a pretty thickset neat nag, but rather short, went cheap enough for 120gs to Mr Craven. Mr Crisp bought a very strong, hand- some, bloodlike colt by Fandango out of Monge's dam for 140g8 ; and Mr Egerton got a bargain in his colt by Fandango out of Skewball, for 50gs, the young one from his general appear- ance being bound to run. Mr Churnside bought a filly out of sister to Gridiron cheap enough, for she had many tine racingpoints about her; and Lord Neville a fllty by Colsterdale, dam by Sleight of Hand, for 17gs, but dear at any price. Mr Churnside's next lot was a very racing- like filly by Fandango out of the dam of Amati ; and Mr Ewbank got another stylish Fandango for 83gs. Some of the fillies were rather small, but they were generally very powerful, and several wentremarkably cheap. The majority of the colts had fine racing- like points about them, and their bright, clean coats showed them off to great advantage; while, considering that several lots were out of mares of unfashionable blood, they may be considered to have sold well. The thirty- one three year olds made l, 927gs, the twenty- seven two year olds l, 465gs, and the fifty- one yearlings 3,062gs. Total amount of this day's sale 6,454gs. On Saturday the weather was again delightfully fine and warm, and the attendance far above that of either of the preceding days, there being more than three thousand persons present; and long, indeed, before the appointed hour the paddock in which the sale took place was crowded with the visitors. At twelve o'clock Mr Tattersall took his third time of asking with the fillies foaled in 1855, the first being by Fernhill out of Leo's dam, a plain mare, but with good substance, and booked to Mr Elliott for 27gs, while Mr Shackel bought the second up by Fernhill for 22gs. Of the fillies foaled in 1856 and 1857 there were fourteen lots, eleven by Daniel O'Rourke, two by Fugleman, and one by Young Bare- foot. There were some very useful, strong, hunting- like mares amongst them, but none of any very great quality or character, Messrs Cavaliero, Johnstone, Shackel, and Holmes selecting the best- looking amongst them. Of fillies foaled in 1858 there were eighteen disposed of, Mr Studd buying a strapping one for 250gs, by Rifleman out of sister to Leaconfield. William Day also ob tained for 130gs a very sweet mare by Rifleman out of sister to Grey Momus, and Count Lehndorff a cheap one by Rifleman, dam by Pyrrhus the First, a well- shaped animal, with plenty of bone and substance; while Colonel de Butts and Mr Barker bought some very stout, short- legged, wiry, and roomy mares. The fillies foaled in 1859 reached to twenty- three, many of which by giving them time and with good keep had grown into great strapping animals, short on the leg, with fine arms, thighs, good backs and loins, and bloodlike heads and necks. 8ir G. Strickland gave 260gs for a sister to The Lawyer ( h b), by The Libel, dam by Hampton, a really splendid filly, having lots of use about her, and handsome into the bargain ; and Mr Rickaby, Mr Churnside, and Colonel de Butts bought several fairish- looking animals. There were five geldings foaled in 1861, and all of them strong, well- shaped, hunting- like horses, that made good prices. Then came up eleven other geldings, foaled from 1851 to 1859, just of the same stamp and quality as the others, and going at fair average prices. As the catalogue stated, there were then the horses and mares that have been used as hunters or hacks — sixteen of them. When the first of this lot entered the circle there was quite a rush to catch a glimpse of them, although the first up made only ten guineas. Still nearly the whole of them were in blooming health ; and what with their fine shapes, great bone and substance, and understandings short and hard as bars of iron, they really looked splendid animals, of a sort that are HOW- a- days too seldom seen. Mr Churnside bought, for 78gs, a re- markably handsome gelding, six years old, by Andover, dam by Gladiator, as well as two others, one five years old, by Rifleman, dam by Jereed, for 150gs; and the other by the same horse out of sister to Sauter la Coupe. The last of these hunting horses was a bay gelding, five years old, by Daniel O'Rourke, dam by Sleight of Hand out of Monge's dam; magnificent one at almost every point, with a good head, fine shoulders, muscular arm3 and thighs, a back and loins broad enough to dance upon, and four good black pins, strong enough to carry a welter weight with hounds. There was some strong competition for this horse between the foreigners and an English gentleman, but the latter, Mr Hall, of the Holderness, ultimately got him for 330gs. The very last investment was made by Mr Weatherby, who bought a pony in a hurry for 7gs, and kindly gave it to Bnarry, the stud groom, whom it was a great favourite with, through having carried him several years; the day's work coming to 7,914gs. With this ter- minated the great sale at 81edmere, realising in all more than 24, OOOgs. This must certainly be considered a remarkably good total, as, at a rough estimate, the stud was recently valued at only £ 13,000. The majority of the animals having been bought by foreigners will of course leave this country, most of them going to Australia. SECOND DAY'S SALE— FRIDAY, SEPT 11. THREE YEAR OLDS. GS.

Three days of last week had been occupied by the Messrs Tattersall in disposing of the stud, but to- day the Messrs Boulton, the Tattersalls of the Yorkshire stock sales, wielded the hammer. The company was quite as large as during the stud sales, and it is somewhat remarkable that, like the stud, the sheep flock will be dispersed throughout the world, several purchases having been made for Ireland, the Continent, and Australia. Most of the llockrnasters of the country were also present; the competition was remarkably keen, and the prices re- alised enormous. This was particularly the case with the sheep, from which so many premium- taking animals have descended The flock also was perfectly healthy, and entirely fed upon green food, and, being selected, possessed that peculiar excellence and symmetry so highly valued by the late Sir Tatton Sykes. The sale commenced with the fat beasts, which sold at priees estimated at from 8s to 10s per stone. The Highland bullocks brought an average of £ f 0 per head, the short- horned bullocks of £ 28, and the calves, varying from six to 12 months old, the surprising price of £ 11 per head, averaged. Thegreat feature of the sale was the dis- posal of the Leicester ewes, for which the competition among flockmasters was remarkably keen. The average of the sales gave rather over £ 5 per head, as much as £ 12 per head having been given for certain pens. The buyers, best known as flockmasters, were Lord Berners ; Mr Phillips, Beadlam Grange : Mr Jordan, Langton ; Mr Maxwell, Belfast; Mr James Hall, Scorborough, Beverley ; Mr Riley, South Dalton ; Mr Bennett, Rugby; M Levi, Australia; Mr Boston, Barton ; Mr Botterill, Garton ; Mr Hill, Sledmere Field ; Mr Yarburgh, Heslington ; Rev Brookes, Gate- forth ; Mr Gurnett, Otley ; Mr Thompson, Mr Anlaby, Hon Mr Lascelles, Goldsborough; Mr Wright, Ogleforth Hall; MrDarley, Benton Field, and numerous other names well- known as breeders of sheep. The shearlings were equally well sold, most of the names given above being large buyers. These also averaged fully £ 5 per head, and some selected pens sold for £ 11 per head. The fat sheep also sold at an average price over £ 3 per head. There were 22 shearlings and two shear rains sold, for which the biddings were particularly spirited. The Wold farmers came up in force for this stock, and bought freely, but Messrs Boulton found the best buyers for exportation. Some of the animals, shearlings, reached the unprecedented price of £ 14 odd per head, and the sale round gave an average of over £ 8 per head. The sales of the stud were considered remarkable; indeed, Messrs Tattersall themselves were agreeably surprised at the enthusiasm evinced. To- day, however, the disposal of the breeding flock has still further aroused the passion to possess some part of the famous breed, and Messrs Boulton have disposed of the lots at prices altogether with- out precedent; indeed,' the sheep sale was more remarkable than that of the stud. Including the beasts, there were 530 head sold, and the day's receipts were just short of £ 3,000. The weather during the whole of the sales has been remarkably fine. COURSING. 1863.

RACKETS.— BELVEDERE, PENT » NVILLE.— The deciding match for the handsome silver snuff- box, presented by Mr S.

Bailey, the present holder of the Champion's Cup, G. Boucher of Kennington, and G. Erwood of the Oxford and Cambridge court were the competitors. Bou- cher met and defeated Erwood two games in succession, winning each time 11 to 6. Erwosd and Bailey then met, and after a sharp contest Erwood was victorious. Bailev won the first game 11 to 6; Erwood the second 11 to 2, and the third 11 to 7. The deciding match was then played, in which Boucher and Erwood came together again, and the latter won both games. The ap- pended score will show the aces that were made in each game. Erwood's games:— First, 1 to 0, 2 to 1. 4 to 2, 4 to 4, 7 to 5, 7 to 8, 9 to 10, 11 to 10.

There are few occupations more pleasing during the intervals between the hunting seasons than a day's inspection of the young hounds destined to fill the openings in the ranks which departed favourites have vacated. The good old hound that has so often gallantly led the van cannot be missed without regret, and then out of regard to his good deeds and his memory we are curious to inquire the character of the progeny in whom we hope to find all his good qualities inherent. To those noblemen and gentlemen of wealth whose hunting establishments have been maintained as heirlooms for very many generations the unbounded thanks of sportsmen are empliatically due for the liberal spirit and vast talent displayed in breeding foxhounds. It must be conceded that very marked improvements are visible in many provincial packs, yet those improvements are principally to be attributed to the infusions they have procured from the fashionable kennels, where a long series of time has permitted those types of excel- lence to be cultivated which are indispensable to the perpetuation of similar perfections. There may be diversities of opinions, or rather of tastes, concerning size or colour, but there can be but one standard as regards beauty of outline, and the very important formations of shoulders, backs, loins, thighs, legs, and feet. That hounds of the present day have acquired those perfections of symme- try witha sacrificeofhuntingaccomplishments is an argument with which I am by no means prepared to acquiesce. That any person can offer an acceptable reason why a great, coarse, plain hound should possess olfactory powers of a higher order, greater indus- try and endurance, er that most indispensable property of turning on the line; and, moreover, those beautiful instincts commonly denominated sense, than a hound of finer proportion, elegance, and fashion, is to me a most inexplicable problem. The science of physiognonsy is an essential study for masters of hounds and huntsmen to enable them to breed hounds successfully, and hav- ing bred them to form their entries. There are unmistakable expressions of countenance which indisputably denote intellect, and there are, too, associations of forms corporalwhich, in connec- tion with the features of the head and face, operate, so to speak, in unison, to render a foxhound capable of transmitting his good properties to his descendants. The happy combinations do not exist in a coarse, vulgar hound any more than they do in the roughest specimens of the human race. The invaluable perfection of nose, as it is termed, I take it consists in exquisite sensibility of the olfactory system, with a quickness of perception to carry that power into effect, for without the last- named* pro- perty a foxhound is of very little value. A hound may be gifted with very low scenting powers without possessing energy to drive and make the best use of his time. When good qualities have been cultivated through many generations the animal so enjoying them is the more to be relied upon as being most likely to trans- mit them. The original entry was composed of eighteen couples and a half, of which Render is the sire of three and a half couples, Singer of three couples, Lord Yarborough's Nathan of two and a half couples, Druid and Challenger each one couple and a half, Chan- ticleer, Lord Middleton's Corporal, Lictor, and the North War- wickshire Nimrod each one couple; Rufus, Lady Forrester's Raglan, Grappler, Hermit, and Nirnrod one hound each. Render, it may be remembered, was mentioned in very high terms by me last winter; a son of Rally wood and Destitute, he is evidently destined to transmit the good qualities of his ancestors— this, the first year of his progeny being introduced, will establish his fame. Rosebud, a beautiful daughter of his and Redcap's, has a great frame and all the attractive attributes of her sex. and her brother Royal is a fine promising hound. Gaylass and Guilty, daughters of Graceful, have great power, especially the former, and the latter is remarkable for her beauty. Gamester, their brother, is a hound of good size, and very useful. The Singers, as a family, possess the fine character which distinguishes the hounds apper- taining to the Bel voir kennels, while there is a strain on the side of his dam from Mr Drake's Duster. The Nathans have lots of power— Nightshade especially; her thighs are muscular and good. Rattler, a son of Rufus, if possible, excels the kennel average of leg3 and feet, for they are quite a study. Glory is a very hand- some descendant of Raglan. Harpy, a clever daughter of Lord Middleton's Corporal, owes her recovery from a most severe attack of distemper to Mr Hunt's invaluable powders. Seaman, a son of the North Warwickshire Nimrod, excels his father in symmetrical proportions, particularly so about his neck and shoulders, although a prize was awarded to him at the Birmingham Exhibition, and useful as he is, he never ranked so highly in my estimation as to select him as a sire. The coverts in the Belvoir country having corn fields to inter- fere with cub hunting, tkat necessary preliminary is subservient to the harvest. Operations, therefore, did not commence till the 28th ult, on which day the Belvoir woods were visited, and after running two hours and twenty minutes, with a moderate scent, the young hounds drew their first blood. The rain that has recently fallen will be all in favour of cub hunting, and most packs will now be able to begin. The accounts of the Duke of Rutland's health, unhappily, do not give much promise of his hunting next winter, his grace's medical advisers having entered a protest against it. It is to be hoped, however, that they may be mistaken, and that the duke will more quickly regain his strength than they anticipate. The absence of a nobleman from the hunting field who so liberally supports fox- hunting, and who evidently takes so much pleasure in the chase as the Duke of Rutland does, will be a source of universal sympathy and regret. THE LATE THOMAS CRAD0CK, ESQ. It is with deep regret, a feeling with which Leicestershire and the surrounding counties will sincerely sympathise, that we have to announce the death of Mr Thomas Cradock of Quorn, a gentleman who has been nearly a quarter of a century so inti- mately associated with the arrangements of the Quorn Hunt, having held a kind of hereditary office in the management of the coverts. Those who are not intimately acquainted with the details of that fashionable arena of the chase may not be aware that very few of the resident gentlemen in Leicestershire are hunt- ing men, and it may be truly said that nearly all the money ex- pended in hunting the country is supplied by strangers. From the early days, when Mr Meynell presided, to the present period, only two of the many masters of hounds possessed property in the county— those were Mr Greene of Rolleston and the Earl of Stamford and Warrington. Many of the gorse coverts for which this hunt is famous have been from time im- memorial rented by the masters of hounds or others in- terested in the sport. The management of them, and the preservation of the foxes in the days of Mr Meynell, and for a long period subsequently, was sedulously presided over by Mr Thomas Cradock's father, after that by his brother, till about the time when Mr Greene followed Mr Hodgson, upon which the gentleman whose loss is so much deplored succeeded to these os- tensible duties. It is thus manifest how great the obligations to the family. Gifted with the highest attainments and conciliating habits, calculated to insure popularity and respeots for his wishes, Mr Cradock's objects were successfully carried into effect. The gratitude of sportsmen was due to him for many a gallant fox and for many a good run. Nor has this been forgotten. A handsome gold snuffbox presented to his father, has descended as an heir- loom, and a pleasing memento of olden times. A costly candela- brum was the graceful tribute of Sir Richard Sutton, and more recently in April last a valuable and appropriate service of plate was subscribed for by the noblemen and gentlemen of the Quorn Hunt, as the inscription suitably expresses, " In testimony of their appreciation of his zealous and gratuitous services as treasurer and secretary to the hunt for a period of upwards of twenty- three years." Not only in connection with his long and indefatigable exertions in behalf of England's noblest pastime will Mr Cradock's loss be felt, but also with reference to the general benefits it was in his power, and, more than that, his greatest pleasure to dispense; com- bined, too, with the social amenities of private life, his departure from among his family and friends is most sincerely felt. How many now will miss that kind, That open- hearted smile, So full of gladsome welcome, So void of hateful guile. How many now will think upon The happy tales of old, Now the kindly voice is silent, And the friendly heart Is cold. Years may roll on, and still thy name Untarnished yet shall be, Enshrined within a jewelled crown Of pleasant memory; Of thine unbounded good How many a one will tell! For thou could'st not have an enemy, Kind friend ! alas! Farewell. rise, l| oz of shot, guns not to exceed f- bore.

BILLIARDS.—^ 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, Co vent- 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 are indispensable^ play well, the execution thereof very simple." *#* Owing to the extraordinary pressure on our space, several Cub Hunting runs unavoidably stand over until next week. The Devon and Somerset Staghounds will meet on Tuesday at Cloutsham, and on Friday at Mountsey Hill Gate, at a quarter to eleven. PIGEON SHOOTING. AUTUMNAL FISHING. " Now as the cool declining year condensed. Descends the copious exhalations, checked As up the middle sky unseen they stole, And roll the doubling fogs around the hill. No more the mountain, beauteous, vast, sublime, Who pours a sweep of rivers from his side, And high between contending kingdoms rears The rocky long division, fills the view With great variety ; but in a night Of gathering vapour, from the baffled sense Sinks dark and dreary." In my last letter I stated that all the late salmon rivers were full of fish, and that great sport might be expected. Since then we have had many days of heavy rain, or poetically speaking copious exhalations" have descended. The rivers, already heavily flooded, have been running with overflowing banks, so that all fishing was out of the question, with the exception of a few days when the weather partially cleared, and the rivers got into something like fishing order. But brief as the time wa? enough was then seen to prove that as soon as the waters tv - down to anything like " fishing water," it would be the angle?!?' fault if he returned from his work with a light creel, as more fish were seen than ever remembered. I know of one fisherman on a river where, for the last few years, so poached was the water, that if he got one salmon per week, he thought himself fortunate. In this same river he rose eight fish one day and eleven the next. He was, how- ever, unfortunate, or perhaps " muftish,'' as he only succeeded in killing four, all bright fresh- run fish. This shows how a sal- mon river will recover itself, even in one year, if the fish are per- mitted to run up freely, and the smolts protected in their down- ward course. Let the fish up to their spawning beds, protect them whilst spawning, and let the smolts run down, and very few years will fill every salmon river in Great Britain, despite all that poachers or fair fishing can do to destroy the fish at any other season. Now is the time to set watchers on the salmon rivers, and from this time until the spring they ought to be most vigilant. In districts where poachers are known to be desperate watchers should be placed in pairs; it is all but impossible for one man to do his duty. Dark long nights are coming on, cold with all, and the river bank, with its dense chilling fog, is not the most agree- able place during an autumnal or winter night. Fancy a poor watcher, chilled to the very marrow, tramping through wet grass, and inhaling the heavy night fog, meeting a gang of river thieves; I rather think his courage as well as his blood would be cooled, and, like the redoubtable Bob Acres, it would " run out of his fingers' ends." Watchers ought to be well paid, and they ought to be chosen some distance from the district where they are to be employed, as, particularly in either Ireland, Scotland, or Wales the feelings of the working classes are so averse to giving information which will lead to fine or imprisonment against any of their neighbours, that it is difficult to find any one, even if he has the inclination, bold enough to " inform." Sometime ago, in a remote district in. Wales, a woman was suspected of a very dreadful crime, and she was taken up by the police. The day after the woman was taken I happened to be rambling on the hills in the neighbourhood of her residence, and every person I met was full of information re- specting the dreadful event. All had their tales, and one would have supposed evidence enough to convict could have been secured in a very short time. What was my surprise to find that those who had the case in hand c » uld not collect anything like sufficient evidence for the prosecution ! As soon as the authorities appeared all mouths were closed, and the grand jury could not find a " true bill." Yet this woman was hated by all. Salmon fishing in most waters is fast drawing to a close ; in fact, in most of the Scotch and Irish rivers the fish are getting too full of spawn to be taken, although the present law permits rod fishing until the first of November. The Welsh rivers are, as I have before stated, much later than either Scotland or Ireland, and good bright fish may be taken for a week or two ; some very fine bright fish ran up the last floods; but the great majority of the fish that will be taken from this time will be " red,'' and though they are strong, fine fish, showing great sport, and are also well filled out, they do not grace the dinner table like the bright- sided fresh- run fish of the spring or summer. The best way to use these " red" fish is to make " kippers" of them, ami as some of my readers may not know how a " kipper'' is pre- pared I will show them. First catch your salmon; the larger and " fatter'' he is the better kipper he will make ; lay your fish on a board and insert a large carving knife ( such a knife as is used for a round of beef is the best) at the centre of the fish's nose, and carry the knife through the centre of the head, down along the centre of the back, close along the back bone, and on to the tail, thus opening the fish down the back. Take out the gills and eyes, wash the fish perfectly clean from blood and entrails, and hang it up to dry for two or three hours, take the fish down and wipe it quite dry, place your fish on a board or stone in a dry place, spread it open, and for a fish of about ten pounds, rub on it in- side and out half a pound of brown sugar and about half a table- spoonful of saltpetre; then rub in all over the fiBh and into his eye sockets and gills about three pounds of salt. Let the fish re- main in the salt for about thirty hours; take him up and wash the salt off, and hang him up to smoke in some chimney where a wood or turf fire is burned for three or four days— if you can find a regular smoke house so m uch the better— but a cottage chimney corner where wood or turf is burned will answer all the purposes. A kipper thus prepared will keep for months; but he is best when eaten directly after taken from the smoke; he will then be juicy and rich; if kept long he will become dry and hard, and lose much of his richness and flavour. A slice of kippered salmon, broiled in writing paper, is about as fine a relish for breakfast as one can sit down to. Many of the fish that are taken at this season are just turning from the bright sil- very colour to a reddish tinge; this colour will first appear on the tips of the fins. These salmon are often in very fine condi- tion, fat and firm, but do not look quite so well. You may very greatly improve these fish by scoring them down the sides with a sharp knife as soon as they are taken, first killing the fish by striking it on the head, though some cruel beasts neglect to do this, stating as a reason that the fish will not " crimp" so well when dead • but this is all nonsense; if you cut the fish directly- after he is lifeless, and before the juices of his body dry, he will crimp as well as when he is sliced alive, an operation which, ought to cost the operator dear. Make three cuts on each side; the first cut about half way from the gills to the centre of the fish, next cut in the centre, and third cut between centre and tail— all the cuts to be to the back bone. Some people make four cuts, and with a large fish perhaps it is best. As soon as you have made your cuts, place the fish in a cold spring of water if you can find one, if not, secure it and place it in the river; there let it remain for two or three hours. Y'ou will find a fish thus " crimped'' capital " wittles. " Most cooks boil a salmon whole, or in one large piece of several pounds. This, most certainly, looks best on the table; but if you wish to retain the firmness, flavour, and fine curdy matter in all its perfection slice your fish and boil in slices; serve up as hot as possible; " them's the jockeys for me, marm," as the Yankee said at the tahle d'hote when he emptied the " entire boiling" of early peas on to his own plate, regardless of the longing looks of the surrounding company. I mentioned the best salmon flies for this season in my last, to which I must refer my readers; for the pre- sent time there is no alteration. I do not think salmon take the lob worm so well when the water is cold, as at present, as they do during the summer months, neither do they run so freely at the minnow. A fly is at present the best bait, and an old cock salmon, I think, prefers a rough claret- bodied fly, with good dark mixed wing, and claret hackle to any other. In some of the Welsh rivers, however, they prefer yellow and orange, with bittern or mottled turkey wing. Trout fishing may soon be said to be over, although there are some very late rivers where the fish are still in excellent condition, and this week I saw a basket of trout of good size, all the fish in very first- rate order. In England the trout fisher ought to lay by his rods; the fish are beginning to develop spawn, and though trout may be taken, they are best left alone, and I shall not advise as to their capture. Heavy floods have for days kept the anxious bottom fisher at that most tormenting of all operations, tapping the " weather- glass;" down, down it goes, lower and lower, to " much rain." Witha deep and long drawn sigh poor piscator resigns himself to his fate, and an extra glass of " calidum" and one more pipe before he re- tires to his restless couch. But be not disheartened, 0I1 brother of the angle, these floods will greatly favour your sport, and when the storms clear off and the weather becomes settled you will find that the river is greatly improved for all angling, particularly spinning, as the strong heavy weed will be carried away, and your waters comparatively clear ; a few nights' frost and all weed will be gone. Hie thee then to thy favourite haunt, on Thames, Trent, or water of less pretension. On either of the rivers mentioned On Monday, Sept 21, at the Lillie Arrt s. Old Brompton ( sports- men can enter on the day), a grand Free Handicap of £ 1 each will be shot between the following celebrated men, including some of our best shots from all parts of England. Conditions of shooting: To shoot at 7 birds each, from 3 traps, 1 Joz of shot, with double guns not exceeding 10 bore. If 60 contend, the money to be divided into three prizes, thus, £ 40, £ 15, £ 5.

The same conditions as the great handicap. Shooting to commence at two o'clock p. m. precisely. A plentiful supply of the very best blue rocks that can be obtained will be on the ground. A dinner will be pro- vided on reasonable terms. Bill Page, the celebrated pigeon shot, of the Grapes, Gerrard- street, Soho, 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 having 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 continued success by the support of his friends and customers. On the premises are a magnificent billiard- room, with an elegantly fitted conservatory, and a compact saloon for chit- chat. Page ha3 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. PRINCE OF WALES SHOOTING GROUNDS, Bow.— Pigeon, star- ling, and sparrow shooting continues to take place in a spirited manner at the above grounds every Tuesday. On Tuesday, Sept 22, several sweepstakes are made to " come off at starlings, sparrows, & c. The above grounds can be engaged at any time for private shooting on application to the manager, Mr J. Pudney, Back- church- lane, Commercial- road. Hammond supplies the birds. At Mr Green's, White Horse, Pond- street, Hampstead, a very handsome pig will be shot for, valued at £ 5, 10 members, 10s each, at 7 pigeons each, or 20 members, 5s each, at 9 sparrows each. To come off on Monday, Sept 28. The ground is two minutes' walk from Hampstead Station. There will be a good supply of birds on the ground. Further particulars will be given in next week's paper. Mr Lumb's grounds, Lillie Arms, North End. Fulham, have been well attended during thelast week, anda great deal of private shoot- ing has taken place. Offer attends every Monday and Saturday with a good supply of birds for public shooting. N. B, Gentlemen can have any quantity of birds for private shooting by directing to J. Offer, King- street, Hammersmith, or to the above house. At the Queen's Hotel Grounds, Sheffield, on Tuesday, Sept 15, there was a numerous attendance of the admirers of the gun, in- cluding several officers of the Sheffield Garrison, to see the shoot- ing, which was of an excellent description, and which commenced with a match for £ 10, at 7 birds each, single guns, lfoz shot, 21 yards rise, between T. Burch of Sheffield and W. Swift of Loxley. Burch killed all his birds and won; Swift killed 6. After the match the weekly Leger of 10s each, 4 birds each, was shot for by J, Gregory, J. Bailey, J. Birkenshaw, J. Woodhead, P. Burch, G. 8mith, H. Chapman, C. Ridge, W. Swift, J. Roberts, T. Burch, and W. Froggatt. Messrs Gregory, Bailey, Birkenshaw, Frog- gatt, P. Burch, Smith, Chapman, and Roberts killed all their birds and divided the money ; Woodhead missed his last. Mr Isaac Turner was the referee. At T. B. Tommas's, Royal Union Shooting Grounds, Birchfield, Aston, Birmingham, on Monday, Oct 5, a very fast superior pony will be shot for by 24 members, at 10s each, at starlings, 60 yards boundary, 7 birds each ( birds in the match free), single guns 20 yards rise, lfoz of shot, double guns, use of one barrel, 18 yards you have little need to seek instruction, be ye ere so green in pis catorial art. " Put money iu thy purse," and hang up thy " beaver" at any of the numerous stations, beginning at Richmond- on- Thames and ending at Oxford, at all of which you will find most competent and civil prac- tical teachers of " ye art of anglinge with ye rod, line, and float;" and when you have taken your degree on the Thames, wend thy way to Trent, and you will find the same description of fish angled for in quite a different style. After a few lessons from Professor Bailey, of Nottingham, you may decide which is the most killing, and then, as usual, " you pays your money and takes your choice." In case, however, of some un- fortunate, not able to " put money in his purse," or to visit such glorious rivers as Thames or Trent, I will give a few words of advice. After a flood, get to your river as soen as the water clears sufficiently to see your bait a foot under water ; in fact, I have seen very excellent baskets made when the water was as " thick as mud.'' Fish can see well in thick water; of this I have no doubt. If they could not, how is it that, after a flood, you will always find fish gorged to the throat, aye, to the very jaws? If they could not see, how is it they are so full of food? Their sense of smell is certainly very keen, and this will lead them to hunt up any stationary food, the scent being carried down the stream; but when a strong flood is running their food goes with the stream, and must be caught as it passes them quickly; this must be done with the eye. Again, how could salmon find their way up a roaring torrent, through sharp rocks, when the river is running a flood, and the water like pea- soup, if they could not see in thick water ? You cannot get to your work too soon after a flood. If you tarry long, the fish will be so gorged that they will not any longer feed; the flood brings down to them vast quantities of matter, worms, grubs, and in fact every- thing that fish " do love ;" this sets them " on the feed;" then is your opportunity, don't neglect it. Worms or gentles are your best bait; for dace in very thick water I think gentles the best. For roach, white paste and red worms. A paternoster, with a small, silver- sided minnow, is the best bait for perch, and a good bright lob worm for barbie, bream, and chub. In all sorts of angling, one great point is to know where to fish. Where to fish —•• that's the question.'' Fish change their feeding grounds ac- cording to the state of the water. At high water they get into eddies, and the more quiet shallow water; whentheriver runsjo'wn they seek their food in the deeper runs, and it is the kno^ T> i^ e of these localities which is one great secret of success. NoM-^ an can be a successful angler unless he studies the habits of fish. must then use his judgment to secure success. A man may bt- most expert in handling his rod, casting his flies, or angling with great dexterity and neatness, but he will not excel as a fisherman unless he makes himself acquainted with the natural history, the food, and the habits of his game. If a man wants fish, and simply fishes for the pot, he does a very foolish thing, unless he happens to live 011 the banks of a river and is a most expert angler. If a pot- hunter wants fish, by far the cheapest and most certain way to procure them is to buy them, even at the very highest rate. He will then get his fish a hundred per cent cheaper than he could by spending his time pot- hunting at the river side. Modern angling has become one of the most fashion- able of sports, and, like all our sports by " flood or field," is governed by certain rules and regulations; and it is as great a breach of sporting law to spear a salmon out of season, or to wire a trout, or kill any fish in an unsportsmanlike manner, as it would be to shoot a fox. However, men differ on matters of sporting. The only time I was fox- hunting in France, my host, who mounted me, armed me with a strong short sword and a double- barreled gun! I asked my friend if we were likely to fall in with wolves, as we were in a district where I thought such an event was not unlikely. He shrugged his shonlders and said, " Oh, no.'' I then asked why I should be hampered with arms sufficient to face a tiger. He informed me I was expected to shoot the fox if possible! I remonstrated, but it was useless. Shoot the fox I must; as I was the guest of the Hunt the great honour of shooting the fox was appointed to me! I stated that such an act would be considered most unsports- manlike in our country. " Very well,'' said the Frenchman, " you gallop after the fox at the risk of your neck and often don't catch him after all. We sit still on our horses, the hounds drive the fox to us, and we shoot him; which is the most reasonable?'' But they manage matters in different style now, though still their ideas of sport and ours are in many points at variance. Most of their sportsmen are what we should call " pot hunters"— their object is to kill game; so that they bag their game it matters little by what method or style. But we must " return to our muttons.'' There are two methods of bottom fishing, bank fishing, and fishing from a boat or punt made expressly for fishing. All Thames and Trent fishers are naturally acquainted with the " punt," but there are thousands of anglers and would- be anglers, who have no more idea what a " punt is than a Thames fisher 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, SEPTEMBER 20, 1863. man has what a coracle is like, or how used. The punt fisher has very great advantage over the bank man, and a tyro in the art of bottom fishing has but to give any one of the many very excellent punt men on Thames or Trent a " special retainer," and he is almost certain of a good day's sport if it is possible to be had. But then, as I have said, this mode of fishing is expensive— about ? s 6d per day for punt and man, with dinner and clay moist- ening, will bring it up to ten shillings, which is all very well for a day or two, but if an angler is foad of angling, and wishes to fish three or four days a week through the season, it becomes rather expensive work. In a former letter I advised my angling friends to be sparing of their ground bait. Give the fish just enough to sharpen their appe- tites, but do not cast in bucketsfull of " balls," as is too much the custom, and regularly gorge the fish. If the " swim" you are fishing is fast, that is to say there is a good current running, fish • with a longish line, so as to let the bait go some distance from • where you drop your ground bait, as the ground bait is carried down a considerable distance from where you drop it, and con- sequently the fish follow it. If you fish near where you drop your ground bait you will be fishing above the spot where the fish are looking out for food. It is too much the custom when piscator finds the fish do not bite as fast as he would like to call to the puntsman to " throw in more ground bait." Ground bait is the " universal panacea." " Give sufficient ground bait, and we must have sport." In vain does the poor puntsman, with his sleeves rolled up, drive his hands into the clay bucket, then into the bran, then mix worms, gentles or greaves. He pitches in ball after ball, well knowing Eis labour is in vain ; but if he did not " ball'' the swim his em- ployer would not be satisfied. So on he works, rolling up clay balls and pitching them in. This week I received a letter from a friend • who has been fishing the Thames. Referring to what I had written on ground baiting, he says, " Some time ago I fished up the river from Richmond, and put up at Hampton. I took up a favourite position, where I had often taken good baskets; I had no sooner stationed myself than I was told that the swim had been ground- baited for two days and then fished, but without success. Nothing ( nted I tucked up, and, casting in a very small quantity of good i commenced fishing. I soon found the fish take freely, and . fc&. ew hours had as fine a basket of fish as I have killed this season. Now I believe that the place had been over- baited, and the fish too much gorged, so that my predecessor could not get a bite; when I arrived the fish were on the look out for more food, and I ' nobbled them.' " No doubt my friend was correct in his idea. Some time ago I was conversing with an old Thames fish- erman, and remarked on the very fine condition and size of all kinds of Thames fish. " Aye, sir, they be fine fish, and no wonder, after the tons of groundbait we fishermen gidthem." FIN.

Four boats had en- tered, but one not putting in an appearance the remaining three were started in one heat, as under :— SURREY STATION. I CENTRE STATION. I MIDDLESEX. R. Bridgett W. Hawley F. Grant R. Mawley | T. Bond j G. Grant Considerable difficulty was experienced in effecting a' start., owing to a number of punts and other craft directly in the course, in consequence of which the boats had ultimately to be started from the top of Twickenham Eyot., and to row from thence to the summer- house below the Duke of Buccleuch's, a distance of about a mile and a half. Bond and Hawley were the first to show in front, but in a few strokes all were level, and a most exciting race took place to the ferry, by which time the Grants had drawn their boat a few feet in advance, and, the other crews both steering into the bight off Ham House soon increased their lead ; meantime Bond, rowing too strong for his partner, had drawn completely across Bridgett and Mawley, but the latter getting quickly away, laid down to their work in capital style, and soon diminished the distance between themselves and the leading pair, and at Petersham Eyot were close upon them. Both crews here steered too close in shore, and were more or less impeded. The result of the race was not affeeted thereby, and after a series of capital spurts on the part of both crews the Grants came in the winners bj' little more than half a length. Bond and Hawley, who had been put completely out of the race by the previous foul and also by breaking a stretcher, came in several lengths astern. CHALLENGE TO THE WORLD FROM GREEN. We have received the following letter from R. A. W. Green, the Australian Champion:— ME EDITOR : In answer to Cooper's challenge, I beg to say that I cannot accept it on his conditions, having paid my passage in the Great Britain to my native land, which I think every one will agree with me, it is time I revisited ; in addition to which I con- sider the end of September is too late in the season for me to com- mence training. In order, however, to convince the rowing public ( who, I hear, are making sundry remarks as to my not having rowed in Newcastle, which purely arose from illness) that I mean business, and considering myself Champion of the Thames, owing to my having received forfeit from R. Chambers, I am prepared to row him, Cooper, J. Ward ( the American Champion), or any other man, four or six miles, on the Paramatta River, Sydney, New South Wales, for £ 500 a side, and I agree to pay to any bona fide acceptor of this challenge the sum of £ 150 as expenses for foing te Australia. In earnest of my intentions, I herewith leave 10 to make a match, and hope to receive an early answer, and remain, Yours, & c, R. A. W. GREEN. JOHNSON AND LANE, £ 15 A SIDE.— The race between T. John- son of the Old Barge House, Lambeth, and W. Lane of the Horse- ferry, Westminster, came off on Thursday. Sept 17, from Putney to Barnes, but created very little interest, although it was a some- what out- of- the- way match, from the fact of Johnson being 49 and his opponent 51. Both men have done a little as youngsters, but nothing calling for special notice, and the present match, it would seem, arose out of some friendly chaff, and was conducted in a like spirit. Lane had been under the sheltering wing of Harry Salter for a short time before the race, and came to the post in better condition than his opponent ( who had taken his breathings at home), and consequently was the favourite. They appeared at the starting post shortly before four o'clock, Johnson having won the choice of sides, and were accompanied by two well- manned cutters ; J. Phelps being both umpire and pilot for Johnson, and H. Cole looking after Lane's interest, while the veteran Mr Newnham was referee. On getting off Johnson had the best of the start, and placing the nose of his boat a few feet in front, increased his lead to a length at the Star. Here Lane eased up, and after having a good look at his man to see where he was, put en the steam, and collared him as they passed Siinmons's. A rattling, ding- dong race ensued up to the Point, during which Lane was gradually drawing away, and at Craven Cottage led by a clear length; at the Crab Tree he was nearly two lengths in front, three at Hammersmith, and increasing his lead through Corney Beach, won easily by six lengths. He can have the money at twelve a'; lock on Thursday next. Rapvf" ROYAL REGATTA.— This regatta, originally fixed for TufClsfr,*, Sept 15, came off on the 2d. The first match, wherries b< g iging to Ryde and Sea View. First prize £ 10, second £ 8, tF M £ 6, fourth £ 4, and 15s each for the next four boats. The result was the following: Wonder ( E. Oakley) 1, Petrel ( H. Sothcott) 2, Lady Jane ( J. Gawn) 3, Melchet Park ( C. Osmond) 4, Victory ( S. Sivel) 5.— The second match was for yacht gigs belonging to any club. Prizes £ 4, £ 2 10s, and £ 1 10s. The first prize was won by the Amazon's gig, beating Gleam and Wizard. — Third match : Pilot boats belonging to Ryde, Sea View, and Bembridge/ under 40 tons o. m. First prize £ 16, second £ 6, third £ 4. Fox\ G. Austin) 1, Emma ( H. Knapp) 2, Ranger ( C. Harvey) 3.— The fourth was a sculling match by men of Ryde ; prizes £ 1,15s, 10s, and 7s 6d, which was won in the following order ;— Rose ( R. Reeves) 1, True Blue ( H. Cotton) 2, Alma ( C. Wearn) 3, Julia ( R. Heeward) 4,— Fifth match : Fishing boats belonging to Ryde only; prizes £ 5, £ 3, and £ 110s ; the winners were— Rowena ( G. Drayton) 1, Nancy ( A. Gawn) 2, Ebenezer ( S. Street) 3.— Sixth match, for four- oared boats belonging to Ryde, not exceedng 18 feet in length, and no rudder; first prize a handsome gold watch, value £ 5 5s, presented by the managers of the Ryde Theatre, second £ 2, third £ 1. The watch was won by R. Reeves, of the Helen; the Surprise ( G. Jackman) 2, True Blue ( A. Cooper) 3, and Alma ( J. Wearn) 4. Several swimming matches fol- lowed. YACHTING IN FRANCE.— An interesting match has taken place off' Marseilles, a silver cup of the value of £ 50 having been offered as a prize for yachts above 30 tons. The competitors were the Queen of the Isles, 50 tons, M Dupont de la Thuillerie, of Mar- seilles ( English- built, and formerly one of the fleet of the Royal Western Yacht Club); and the cutter Amelia, 43 tons, M Turcos, of Cannes. The cutter profited by a strong N. N. W. breeze to a greater extent than the schooner, and came in a winner, the schooner not fully completing the distance. French yachtsmen are of course highly delighted with the success which the cutter achieved, but it is stated that she is a regular clipper. Regattas of mere or less importance have taken place during the last few days at Bergeruc, Bayonne, Quillebeuf, Saumur, Boulogne, & c. At this last meeting, there were four sailing matches, and the prize for boats of the first series ( 24ft of flotation) went to the Esperance, M Victor Muhlberque, ef Boulogne; that for the second series ( 20ft of flotation) to the Lilic, M Alfred Delattre; that for the third series ( below 20ft of flotation) to the Meritorie, M Richy; and that for the fourth series ( 14ft of flotation) to the Passe- Partout, M Ledoux, of Boulogne. Aquatic sports are con- sidered to have made considerable progress this year in France. YACHT CRUISES, & C.— The Claymore, schooner, 130 tons, of the Royal Squadron, has been cruising off the western coast of Scotland. A new cutter, the Carina, built by Fife, of Fairlie, this year, and one of the fleet of the Royal Eastern Yacht Club, ran last week from Loch Broem to Tobermory, 160 miles, allowing for tacking, in 18 hours; the Carina is only 15 tons burthen. The steam yacht Test, 150 tons burthen, has been purchased by Mr Broadfoot, of Dunglass Castle, and has been fitted out in Gourock Bay for a cruise to Skye. The Rosalind, 94 tons, Mr J. E. V. G. Vernon, of the St George's and Royal Thames, is cruising on the Irish coasts. The Anemone, cutter, 70 tons, Mr J. H. Baxendale, of the Royal Northern, St George's, and Royal Thames, has been reported at Dartmouth ; and the Coquette, schooner, 50 tons, Lieut- Col Armitage, of the Royal Squadron, has been heard of at Beaumaris. CUSTOM HOUSE REGATTA.— This annual regatta, for a new boat and money prizes, came off'on Tuesday, Sept 15, being rowed for by six free watermen of the Custom House, with the following results. First heat: B. Brenchley 1, G. Maxwell 2, R. Banks 3. A good race between the first two; won by a length.— Second heat: W. Maxwell 1, W. Abbott 2, J. Brockwell 3. Maxwell had the lead all the way, but the others made a good race of it.— Third heat: G. Maxwell 1, J. Brockwell 0, R. Banks 0, W. Abbott 0. Won by two lengths.— Final heat: W. Maxwell 1, G. Maxwell 2, B. Brenchley 3. This was an exceedingly well- contested race, and it was a long time before the Maxwells could shake off Brenchley. They then had an excellent, contest between themselves, VV. Max- well winning by two lengths. THAMES AMATEUR REGATTA.— Under this title it is intended to establish a regatta next season over the metropolitan course, Putney to Chiswiclc, when prizes will be offered for junior eights, junior and senier fours, open and gig pairs, junior and senior sculls, & c. An influential committee has been formed, including the names of many of the leading oarsmen on the Thames, toge- ther with the local gentry in Wandsworth and Putney. Mr J. Tyler, jun, late president of the West London Rowing Club, has consented to act as hon sec to the committee, and from the ad- vantages presented by the Putney course over others on the river, and the liberal intentions of the committee, we see no reason why the contemplated meeting should not be among the first of its kind. CORSAIR ROWING CLUB.— The members of this club rowed a pair- oared race in outriggers, on Saturday, Sept 12, which, owing to the absence of Messrs Herron and Adams, one of the pairs, reduced itself to a match. The competitors were Messrs J. Ellinger and J. C. Kearns, and H. Moore and H. Castell, and they rowed from Hammersmith to Putney; Ellinger and Kearns, with the station, came away with the lead, and soon placed a length between them- selves and opponents; this they increased to two at the Crab Tree, and steering much better than their opponents, they afterwards went still further in front, and won easily. The captain of the North London ( Mr Pox) was umpire, in a club four. VENTNOR REGATTA.— This regatta is to come off on Monday, Sept 21. The programme announces a variety of sailing and row- ing matches among the boats belonging to the back of the island, between Sandown and St Catherine's Point.

PERILOUS POSITION OF AN AERONAUT, AND FATAL ACCIDENT. — On Saturday night, Sept 12, a gala was given in the Piece Hall, Halifax, and a grand balloon ascent was announced, in the car of which, it was said, would be seated Mr Young and a lady. A little before seven o'clock Mr Young took his seat, but not the lady, and the balloon commenced its ascent. On leaving the hall it came against some telegraph wires which pass over the hall. This had the effect of rendering the balloon somewhat unsteady. After it kad risen out of the building, a slight breeze from the west carried it against the top of Messrs Firth and Son's mill chimney, and there it was held, either by the lighting conductor or by the net getting fast to the cornice. There it collapsed. The crowds of spectators were horrified, expecting every minute that the aeronaut would be precipitated from the top of the chimney, which is about 35 yards high. He, however, retained his pre- sence of mind, and more than once waved his hat, of which the people took note and cheered. A rope was let down out of the car, and eventually to it was attached a pulley and another rope, which were drawn into the car. The pulley was fastened to the car, and the aeronaut was fortunate enough to reach the ground without being hurt. There the balloon remained all night. Next day some men ascended to the top of the chimney to recover the balloon. One of them, a man named Charles Rawson, had reached the top, when the rope, snapping in two, he fell to the ground, and was taken up dead. His body was shockingly man- gled. Rawson was 37 years of age, and has left a family.— Man- chester Examiner. BATHING IN THE SERPENTINE.— During the past summer bathing in the Serpentine has been carried on upon a very exten- sive scale, in a large space of the water set apart for the especial use of bathers between the hours of five and eight o'clock in the morning and seven and eight o'clock in the evening. From the returns of the Royal Humane Society's superintendent it appears that from the beginning of the year up to the 13th inst the total number of bathers in the morning had been 64,846, and in the evening 198,841. The highest numbers reached were from the 13th to the 19th of July, when the heat was very great. There were 6,400 morning bathers and 28,000 in the evening. 17 per- sons who have been in danger of drowning, and eight who have attempted suicide, have been saved by the officers of the Koyal Humane Society. A WEALTHY ENGLISHMAN KILLED IN SIBLEY'S EXPEDITION.— Among the slain in General Sibley's expedition was JohnBeeiner, a wealthy Englishman, a graduate of Oxford, and formerly an officer on the staff of Lord Raglan. He had come from England on a buffalo hunt in the North West, and took a nominal position on General Sibley's staff to gratify his taste of adventure. Sent on reconnoitring service, he was caught in an ambuscade and shot down with iron- headed arrows, the savages scalping him and hacking off one side of his head while he was yet alive. He leaves a splendid yacht and a large library in New York. FIGHTS TO COME. SEPT 22.— Brown and Kelly—£ 100 a side, London. SEPT 28.— Edwards and Isac— £ 10 a side, Aberdare.

This match took place on Tuesday, Sept 15, in the London Ring, and turned out, as had been anticipated, a most scientific battle. Indeed, so much ability was displayed by both combatants, that during the contest they were repeatedly applauded in the most vociferous manner. Both men are well- known to fame, but without going into minute particulars we may briefly state the last time Roberts appeared within the magic circle was on Nov 20, 1855, when he met Young Harrington, for £ 50 a side, whom he vanquished, after a slashing contest, in which the science of both was conspicuous. Thus it will be seen for the long period of eight years Roberts lias taken no active part within the ropes. It was, therefore, naturally imagined he had retired from the P. R., and that more particularly since he entered into business at the Leopard Tavern, where he does a flourishing business. Roberts is now 34, and during the time he has been playing the part of " mine host," put on such an accumulated amount of tissue as took him five months to shake off. There is little doubt he would never have contemplated the present match had it not been for an angry feeling that sprung up between himself and Morris, which could only be settled by a meeting within the ropes. The last time Peter Morris appeared within the ropes was on Tuesday, Aug 28, 1862, when he fought George Holden, for £ 50 a side, whom he defeated in gallant style in sixty- four rounds and 2h 9min. Morris stands 5ft 3in, and is 24, so that he had the advantage of being a ten years younger man than his antagonist, and this in a fistic tourneys could only be looked on as a most important consideration. Morris was backed from Bob Brattle's, the White Lion, Digbeth. Roberts, on arriving in London, made Bob Travers's his head- quarters ; while Morris was established at Mr Richardon's, the Blue Anchor, Church- street. An aquatic trip had been arranged, a magnificent boat being engaged for the occasion, and after an unusually early start the ring was formed on an old spot. On stepping within the ropes, Morris had for seconds Bos Tyler and Joe Wareham, by whom he had been trained, Roberts being waited on by Bob Travers and Joe Goss. Morris, when in the ring, produced a roll of notes and offered to lay £ 20 to £ 14, but met with no response from his antagonist. The men were not confined to weight, but in this the advantage preponderated in a decided manner in favour of Roberts. Morris, it was stated when he last weighed was, with his things partly on, under 8st; while Roberts, we should say, when he entered the ring was not less than 8st 91b. He looked wonderfully well, and, we were informed, during the time lie had been preparing for the match had walked hard upon three thousand miles, a proof he had been resolved to let nothing on his part be wanted to insure success. His belly, with the work he had done, had been all " melted" down; and few, we think, who knew the load of flesh he had on him, expected to see him come to the scratch in the fine order he did. By seventeen minutes to 10 o'clock the men had received the finishing touch and were conducted to the scratch. THE FIGHT. Round 1. The ring was formed on as fine a bit of turf as could possibly be selected. As the men stood opposed to each other, with all the grace and freedom in their movements that can only be displayed by proficients, there was one circumstance presented itself in a forcible manner to all, and that was, although they were evenly matched in height, the marked disparity in all else, Roberts being in all points much the bigger and more powerful man. Roberts, in drawing from his man with light and graceful action, got near the ropes on his side of the ring, and as Morris with admirable rapidity made the necessary change to bring him well within measure, Roberts again made fresh disposition, and the men with consummate ease, although their evolutions were made with great rapidity, got here and there in all parts of the ring. At length they paused, and there was some beautiful sparring and feinting executed withlightning- like rapidity. Morris at length, finding the desired opening, let go the left, and got well on the left peeper. Roberts on the instant countered, delivering the left on the mazzard. After these compli- ments Roberts drew from his man. Again they sparred and manoeuvred in the most scientific style, and in the changes got in all parts of the ring. Roberts, after getting well in on his man, darted out a fine left- hander, but did not succeed in administering the medicine, as Morris stopped him beauti- fully. Again they got on the move, again there were those changes and variations before noticed, again did each man in turn make the half- arm feint, but finding he could not get on drew back, being too good to waste power for no purpose. The men in the centre of the ring drew well together, when Roberts delivered a fine spank with the left on the mouth, and got away, when Morris, with fine tact and judgment, followed up. " Blood" was claimed for Roberts, but was not admitted, as the referee said the ruby was not perceptible to him. Roberts, after fresh changes, having got well to his man, delivered the left on the chest, and in return napped a pretty left- hander. The men now, after some rapid well- executed exchanges, closed. Roberts got his antago- nist fixed in the left arm hold, when Morris slipped and got down. 2. The men came with equal readiness from their corners, and in tbe centre of the ring sparred artistically, there being, however, nothing tedious or monotonous in their action. Morris having weaved well on his man, dashed out a well- intended left- hander, but Roberts stopped artistically with the right. Having taken new ground Morris again led the left, and got well on the right cheek. Roberts countered with his man, the hitting being ex- tremely effective. Having shifted and taken fresh positions they made a momentary pause, and then again came well to measure. Now they countered with telling rapidity at the head, both in turn putting in the double with the left in a masterly fashion. After the application of this polish they drew from range and took fresh ground, and now as they got to measure there was a good deal of " firing," first one and then the other getting home. The men closed, and after a little fibbing broke, and then in a fine rally fought in the most admirable style in all parts of the ring, using the left and right with electrifying rapidity. Morris ad- ministered on his opponent's dial and the top part of the canister. Roberts making good and efficient use of the left on his man's dial, also delivered the light with force on the body. Again after this fine bit of fighting they got from range, and paused, and frem the appearance of their physiognomies it was clear the punish- ment was even thus early beginning to make a slight impression. After more exchanges they got together, closed, and went down at the ropes. 3. The men manoeuvred on the most scientific principle, and if there was a good deal of show before anything of moment was achieved this was from no lack of skill on their part, but resulted from each in turn being able to check and counter- check the other. Roberts having got well in, delivered a heavy lefthander on the top of the head, and then took fresh position. Morris fol- lowed, and sent in a well- directed shot from the left, but was stopped in splendid style. The men having made a fresh varia- tion, Roberts again led, but was in turn thrown off with the right guard. The men in their movements got here and there in all parts of the ring. At length they once more came well to mea- sure, and exchanged splendidly left and right at the upper works, Morris administering a fine left- hander on the mouth, and Roberts slashing the right heavily on the body, the effects of which sent Morris staggering from the ropes across the ring, where he fell. Thus the first knock down was decided in favour of Roberts. 4. Roberts had no sooner been met by his man than he at once went to work to force the fighting, and with the left put in a fine chest warmer. In a fine rally they got in all parts of the ring, when Roberts, after again delivering the right on the body, slip- ped down. 5. The men had no sooner got together than they went to work, Roberts taking the initiative with a fine left- hander full on the mazzard. Morris followed suit, and there was something ad- mirable in the rapid and effective style in which they countered. Having taken fresh ground they sparred and manoeuvred in their customary scientific style, again and again making fresh dispo- sitions as they drew out, after finding themselves each in turn stopped at the intended move. In these changes Roberts got to the stakes, when as Morris came OH to take advantage of the posi- tion, he shifted and got from his man cleverly. At length they again came well together, when they fought with both mawleys with their usual rapidity, Morris with the left and then with the right getting all over the surface in the most surprising manner. In struggling for the fall both tried to put in a fine back heel, but not succeeding, they went down in a harmless fashion; 44 mi- nutes gone. 6. After some artistic flourishes Roberts led with the left, and delivered a fine shot on the side of the knowledge- box. As his man drew out, Morris with well- timed action followed up, and in some magnificent counter hitting both did effective execution. In shifting they got in all parts of the ring, when Roberts by acci- dent lost his equilibrium, and went dawn in the centre of the ring. 7. On coming up it was seen the toe of Roberts's left boot had been " ventilated'' by Morris's spikes, and we may remark that both men far exceeded the rule in the length of these implements, so that there was nothing to choose between them. Roberts led the left at the head, but • was admi- rably stopped. Morris, in return, dashed out the same mawley, and got on the top part of the breast. In the sparring and manoeuvring the men were again and again in all parts of the ring. Roberts, as they came well together in the middle of the ring, administered a fine left- hander on the head, and got from his man without a return. After a pause they once more went to work, and with both mawleys exchanged in very effective style, both laying on the paint on the front of the dial, Morris, with his left on the mouth, producing a supply of the ruby, and the referee decided the point in his favour. The men closed at the ropes, when, after a little fibbing, both went down. 8. This was another long bout, in which the action of the men was pretty and varied, and in the manoeuvring they got in all parts of the ring. At last, having got well to measure in the centre of the ring, they countered effectively, delivering the left well on the middle of the head. Having taken fresh ground they again got all over the ring, and once more having pulled up and steadied themsel « ves, Morris dashed out the left, but was not quite to the point; Roberts, in return, made use of the same mawley, but in delivering he bent his head too forward, the only faulty action we noticed on his part throughout the whole of this scientific contest. After some mutual exchanges, in which they rubbed it in left and right, they broke, and after getting all round the ring again weaved to distance, when Morris delivered a tre- mendous thwack on the snuff repository, the effect of which sent his man's nob for the moment waving back. After a little more sparring they got together and closed, when Roberts put on the hank with the right arm, and Morris, finding he was likely to get in an awkward position, extricated himself cleverly out of the difficulty by going down on his knees. 9. Morris was the first to come from comer, and there could be no mistaking the wear and tear of the struggle was having a more decided effect on Roberts than on his more juvenile adversary, while the old- un was also displaying the effects of the hitting in a much more prominent manner than Morris, as his left peeper was now in deep mourning. After a fine display of artistic sparring they countered, Morris delivering a fine left- hander on the left peeper, Roberts with the same mawley getting home effec- tively in the middle of the head. After making a new variation they once more came together, when Morris delivered a fine rat- tling shot full on the dial. Again and again they exchanged, broke, and took fresh ground ; again and again did they come together and get well to graft, Roberts repeatedly in the ex- changes administering the right on the body. At length they closed, and after a little fibbing with the left struggled for the fall, Morris under, Peter striking his head rather heavily against the ground. 10. The long scientific bouts seemed now at an end, and the fighting became of that spirited and vigorous description which proves so telling and effective. The seconds of Morris seeing their man had a decided lead, and that Roberts was displaying unmis- takable symptoms of being distressed, urged him to no longer stand upon the finesse of action, but to go and force the fighting on the rousing system. Morris, seeing the force of this advice, at once changed his tactics, and now the battle raged in a totally different manner. Morris, taking the initiative, administered a fine left- handed spank on the nasal prominence, when, as Ro- berts shifted position, Morris followed with well- timed action, and fought his man to a close. Roberts got his man's nob in chancery, and after a little fibbing from the fore arm both went down, Morris under. 11. Roberts opened with a left- hander on the top part of the pepper castor, and then drew cleverly from his man. As Morris followed, Roberts dashed out the right, but, owing to the rapid action of his man, missed. They now in a fine spirited rally fought with both mawleys left and right to a close, and in the fall both down. 12. The punishment received by Roberts now began to display itself on his physiognomy in a conspicuous manner. Morris on coming up at once went to work to force the fighting, and in the counter hitting administered the left with stinging severity on the tater- trap, Roberts with the same mawley doing execution on the right jaw. As Roberts shifted Morris followed, and now some magnificent fighting ensued. " Use the dumb bells, my bojV said Wareham, and then came a volley of left and right- handed hitting of a most telling description. Roberts, who the last round or two seemed to have shaken himself up wonder- fully, was by no means idle. He fought his man gallantly and in the most desperate and unflinching manner to a close, and both down. 13. " Don't let him rest,'' shouts Richardson, as Morris came from the corner, and on the instant the young one went to work in the most improved style. With the left he administered a stinger full in the middle of the dial, and as Roberts retreated Morris followed, being resolved to force the fighting. In a rapid and brilliant manner they fought left and right to a close, and in the fall went down close to the ropes. 14. Both came simultaneously from their corners, and in ma- noeuvring came to the ropes on Roberts's side of the ring. After some pretty exchanges they closed. Roberts got his man well pulled to in the left arm grip, when Morris struggled to free him- self from an awkward position, and both went down in the fall. 15. Roberts's brother Ned urged him to be first, and he led with the left with fine precision, but was as equally artistically stopped. As Roberts drew out Morris followed up, and put in a fine shot from the left on the mazzard. After getting in all parts of the ring they came well to distance at the ropes, when Roberts got home a stinger with the left on the forehead. Morris in return countered his man heavily, making efficient use of the left, and in the close Morris, finding he was likely to get in trouble, shifted from his man and went down at the ropes. 16. There was now a " false alarm," and the ring for a moment was in a state of commotion. Order being restored, Roberts went to his man for the purpose of opening the ball. Morris met his opponent on the milling suit. At it they went in the most deter- mined style, and after some rapid and telling exchanges left and right on the head they closed and fibbed away merrily from the forearm. Roberts, in the struggle that ensued, got his man in the arm- lock, and Morris was under in a by no means easy fall. 17. Morris popped in a fine left- handed shot on the head, and followed up with a telling spank from the right, and then closed. Roberts got his man in the struggle well together, and tried to throw him, when Morris shifted from the hold cleverly and got down. 18. Morris the first up, and Roberts had no sooner met him than he commenced the attack, hitting out with both mawleys at the head with desperate energy. Morris, ever willing for action, fought his man with both hands, getting the left with stinging force on the front of the dial. The men closed in Roberts's corner, when Morris was thrown heavily. 19. Apparently none the worse for the system- disturber re- ceived in the preceding bout, Morris came gaily from his corner on the first call of time, and delivered heavily with the left on the cheek. The men closed and went down at the ropes, Morris under. 20. Roberts planted the left on the mark, when Morris in splen- did style countered his man. Having taken fresh ground they steadied themselves for a moment, again went at it, and fought left and right, until Roberts, in getting from his man, again slipped and went down on his knees. 21. Morris went dashing at his man, getting all over him with the regulators in a rapid and telling manner, until Roberts, who just missed a dangerous right- hander on the left jaw, got down at the ropes. 22. Morris, still forcing the fighting, went to his man at once, and after some slight exchanges from the forearm they closed, Roberts, for the first time, under in the fall. The contest had now lasted lh 37min, and as some half- dozen of the rural constabulary made their appearance, hostilities had to be at once suspended, and the " camp " on the instant broken up. After a long run, the ring was for the second time pitched, on a spot that has not been visited since the contest between Rooke and Cobley. When all had been got in readiness, the men lost no time in stepping within the ropes. About the head it was apparent Roberts had received by far the lion's share of punishment, his left eye being nearly closed, liis mouth and nose also much swollen. Morris's left peeper was rather deeply shaded, but beyond that he did not appear to be at all hurt about his phiz. He had, however, been hit heavily on the body at times with both the left and right, and there can be no doubt he was a little sore about the ribs. At fourteen minutes past two o'clock the men were again sent to the scratch. 23. After a little manoeuvring Roberts led, but was splendidly stopped. Having taken fresh ground they again got well toge- ther, when they countered with the left on the nob with stinging severity, there being more steam in Morris's left- hand hitting than in Roberts's; the latter, on the other hand, making most efficient use of his right. After some rapid evolutions they again came well together, and in some telling exchanges Morris deli- vered left and right on the dial. Roberts, although he had by far the lion's share of punishment, was far from idle, but in the counter- hitting once or twice with the left missed the point and went right over his man's shoulder. The men, after a fine bustling round, closed at the ropes and went down. Any odds were again offered on Morris, but there were no takers. 24. Roberts had now no spike in his boots, as he had changed his fighting " crabs," which were much torn, for his ordinary service ones. The fighting was all in favour of Morris, who on coming from his corner went to his man and rattled away in the most unflinching and determined style. The men, after a deal of splendid ding- dong two- handed fighting, closed at the ropes, and in the fall both down. 25. After a few pretty well- executed movements the men got well to graft, when Morris delivered a splendid left- hander on the cheek, hitting in magnificent style right over his man's guard. Roberts countered splendidly, sending the left in on the dial with " a will." After shifting and taking fresh ground they again came together, and in a fine rally— all, however, in favour of Morris— fought to the ropes, when Roberts in getting from his man went down. 26. Roberts led off, and planted a telling spank with the right on the body, and followed up with one from the left on the head. As he shifted position Morris covered him, and with the left got home heavily on the masticators. After sparring and manoeuvring, and getting here and there in all parts of the ring, they again came well to distance, when Morris delivered a telling shot on the nob, and then followed up with the right. After some spirited exchanges with both mawleys at half measure they closed, when Roberts went down in his own corner. 27. Both in turn made good use of the right on the body, and then with admirable quickness changing their tactics, they took fresh ground, and fought in a regular ding- dong style, left and right, to a close, when Roberts went down on his knees. Tyler made an appeal, but was not noticed. 28. Roberts came up, and went at once to work to force the fighting, and administered a fine left- hander, although, as we have before stated, the hitting on his part with this mawley did not appear to produce much impression. As Roberts drew from his man Morris came dashing at him, Peter, in turn, being de- termined to force the fighting; and in the splendid two- handed hitting which followed he got on the front of his man's head with telling force. The men closed at the ropes, and in the fall Morris under. 29. Roberts, who was weak, and had nothing in his boots in the shape of " fixings," led off left and right, and then, on getting from his man, went down. 30. After some pretty exchanges they fought left and right to a close, and in the fall Morris was under. It would be useless to go into details of the eleven remaining rounds, as Morris had the trump card in hand, anil there could not be a second opinion en- tertained as to the result. Indeed, so decided was his lead, that Roberts's own friends, from the commencement of the battle in the second ring, did not think it possible their man could win. There were in the whole forty- one rounds fought. Roberts, who was totally blind with the left daylight and extremely weak, went down in the last five rounds in a manner completely opposed to the spirit of the thirteenth rule, and the referee ( Fred Oliver), after giving him ample caution, decided the battle against him in the forty- first and last round, as he had gone down without the re- semblance of a blow being struck. Thus Morris was hailed the winner, the contest having occupied two hours and eighteen minutes, and so satisfied were the friends and seconds of Roberts, that, tothe gratification of the referee, they at once admitted he had been fairly beaten. Roberts's hands were both gone, and after the contest he complained of having in a fall been much hurt on the ribs, those on the left side having been injured on a former occasion. Morris did not on leaving the ring appear to be much marked about the physiognomy, but he stated to us that about the body and chest there was' a coating of resin anything but comfortable. REMARKS. Roberts is never likely to again enter the Ring, and would not have done so on the present occasion had it not been for strong provocation. As he is a prosperous well- to- do man, and as his fighting career is now finally closed, there is no necessity for us tp make any critical comments on his milling attributes, further than to say that he well sustained in this tourney the fame he had acquired as a clever and scientific boxer in bygone years. Al- though defeated he is far from disgraced, and there can be no doubt the principal cause of his having on this occasion to play second fiddle is not that the pupil has exceeded the master as a proficient in the art as that Roberts could not successfully main- tain the struggle against the superior youth and freshness of his antagonist. Morris there can be no disputing from first to last fought this battle with admirable skill and judgment, and as we have before had to remark he is one of the cleverest of the Feather Weight Champions that ever entered the Ring, and the fair and honourable manner in which he won this battle has had the effect ( nor is this to be at all wondered at) of causing him to stand higher in the opinion of his friends than ever. Although we thought that in the rapid exchanges the left was at times not firmly closed, yet there can be no doubt Peter is a heavy punish- ing hitter with that mawley, and at times he got home on the professor's nob with great severity, and Roberts's head for the moment went back as though the main spring had been suddenly loosened. Again, therefore, have Morris's efforts been crowned with success within the ropes, and it is to be hoped that in the moment of triumph, and when flushed with victory, he will not forget that by civility and general good conduct he will gain the respect of those who will think something more of him, besides the mere momentary praise that follows all men as they sail along on the tide of success. The friends of Morris Roberts are so satisfied with his performance that they intend very shortly to give him a monster benefit in his native town, to compensate him for his defeat. They have almost all paid him for his colours. FIGHT BETWEEN SMITH AND BURGESS FOR £ 50- The following admirable ^ account of this battle has been for- warded to us by an amateur, and is so well told that we willingly give it insertion in preference to our own correspondent's descrip- tion, and beg at the same time to thank our friend, who signs himself a " Liverpool Man," for the trouble he has taken :— At four o'clock last Tuesday morning, September 15, the northern end of the great landing stage presented an animated and bustling appearance. As no one would believe us if we said we were there quite by accident, we may as well admit that " the office" had been obligingly furnished us by Mr James Clarke on the previous evening. The last fight we had witnessed was that between Broome and Orme for the championship, many years ago, on the velvet turf which divides Norfolk and Suffolk, when our companions had been a few Subs of the gallant 42d Highlanders. Since then we had been by foreign travel and toilsome business duties sepa- rated from the Ring; we had occasionally heard of it, indeed, as having been invaded by vicissitudes and mis- fortune. To be seen at a fight had come to be thought not only wrong, but infinitely worse—" low''— and we had insensibly, and not unnaturally, fallen in with the views of those among whom our lot had been cast. Latterly, however, we had dis- cerned appearing in the press— The Times and the Saturday Bevieiv to wit— a little cloud no bigger than a man's hand, as of a tole- rating and even an approving spirit, and, as we all through had been hypocrites in chiming in with the notion that a fight was morally wrong, we felt our sneaking desire to see " one more'' too strong to resist. A handy and powerful steam tug was in waiting, and by five o'clock her paddles struck the water. Then came a sensible instinct of delight and pleasure over all our motley crowd as Aurora, the rosy- fingered nymph of the morning, came slowly through the fleecy clouds of the East, putting out the beacon'fires across the river— putting out bright Orion's belt overhead— putting out the lights of the Warrior, and the Black Prince, and the Channel Fleet, up the river yonder. It was cer- tainly unpleasant to be startled from the midst of a delicious reverie in one of the quarter boats by a harsh, cracked voice in- quiring " Want any rum V This proceeded from an elderly lad of fifty, with a dirty cap very far back on his head, with a large— nay, an enormous— dirty comforter round his neck, with ' a dirty eye ( his only one), with horribly dirty face and hands; and in fine, on our mildly stating we were only in the habit of drinking the sun down and not up, we found that he possessed horribly dirty language also. He met very little custom, and from the fact of his voice getting huskier and huskier and bis steps groggier and groggier, we are inclined to believe he was his own principal consumer. With this sole ex- ception every one was respectably conducted, and saving there were no wives or sweethearts there the whole seemed desirous of making it a pleasure trip. Not but what there was some inno- cent chaff passing between the various men's following ; jeering advices not to make respective fools of themselves, not to have their respective men killed, the subsequent dangers of a coroner's inquest, & c, were freely bandied to and fro. One cynic, with a large and somewhat broken nose, openly declared his belief ( or the belief of his overnight's potations) that he could lick the pair of them, both in one ring. " Yes, and give them the prickly heat too," added a sham admirer. The sun appearing shortly before six we had a delightful passage until nearmg the Bell Buoy, when the swell of the Irish sea rolling in over the sand banks caused such cemmotion among the internal regions of the company that we do not think ten men landed without empty stomachs. Our first attempt was directed upon Hilbre Island, situated on the Cheshire side of tfce jQ9uth of tlie Dee, but m the rays of the morning su ® could be seen glancing upon the shining peaks of three of the Cheshire constabulary, it was deemed prudent to try another spot, and after an unfavourable trial of a sandbank, which the captain of the steamer said we could have two hours of before tide- time, we finally made for the opposite ooast of Wales, where we landed about a mile from the point of Ayr Lighthouse. After a weary trudge over the sands, and after crossing a ridge of low- lying sand hills, we came into a long, flat piece of ground, surrounded by banks, and like an enormous bowling green, where the ring was almost instantly pitched. As this was completed, and while wait- ing the coming up of the intending combatants, who took it more leisurely than the rest, our serenity was disturbed by Flintshire Constable No. 22, who came up, and intimated his wish for us to " moveon." The crowd took a capital mode with him. He was " sent to Coventry.'' When he tried to speak to any one, the in- dividual addressed turned on his heel. When No. 22, how- ever, laid his hand on the ropes, there was such a deter- mined cry of " Keep your hands oft those things," that the poor fellow succumbed to circumstances, and did not again interfere. By and bye the men came up and leisurely arranged preliminaries. The referee had been selected on board the steamer, and Burgess now won the toss for corners, and obligingly allowed his opponent's face the full advantage of a clear and warm sun. Both men were stripped and had shaken hands by half- past ten, and as their seconds are retiring to their corners let us take a look at them. The first impression Bur- gess gives one is that he is a short, thick, bull- necked, heavy- jowled, resolute little fellow. His colour was excellently clear, but he seemed fleshy, and was further disfigured by a large sheep- skin plaister, which went round two- thirds of his waist and reached far above his drawers. The pitch had escaped from this for the margin of an inch all round, and when the little fellow turned his back to us he seemed to have a map of the Mediter- ranean sea wrapped round his body. His opponent, Smith, con- siderably taller, slighter, and more sinewy, is a negro of the pure type ; and we certainty never saw a more dangerously built man. To say he resembles a snake does not wander from the truth. Both men seemed confident, and were, we believe, fighting at lOst 61b. THE FIGHT. Before going on with this, let us again warn the reader we are not giving a professional account for the use of professional men, but merely noting down the impressions left, on our mind at the time. Round 1. Not a moment was lost in going to work ; the Black caught Burgess a rattler on the jaw, getting countered slightly; he again lunged out, but short. There was then an exchange, and Burgess received one on the right of the head that sent him to grass ( first knock down for Smith). 2. Both men immediately at it ding- dong; separated. Burgess pursued the Black, and was in; turn" pursued, getting another on the jaw, and one on the upper lip, drawing first blood ( claimed). They then closed, and Burgess was thrown. At this period of the fight things looked as if Smith was to have it all his own way, and the Burgess party were indeed desponding. 3. After the Black made play with his left twice, but both times short, Burgess dashed in and delivered a very powerful right- hander on Smith's left temple, which we really thought must finish the fight. Of course, Smith down. 4. Smith's seconds very busy with him in his corner, and if time had been enforcedhe wouldhave had a narrow chance for the stakes. However, by repeated cries from the Burgess party, he was at length brought up, and, we presume, acting under advice, kept always away, sometimes running about tiie ring with his back to Burgess, who at one time came up with him and struck him on the back of the neck. At length they closed, and the Black was thrown. 5. 6, 7 were repetitions of the last, extremely to the disgust of the Smith party and the contempt of the Burgessites, who now, having escaped from their funk at rounds 1 and 2, offered as high as 10 to 1 ( no takers). 8. Smith seemed recovering the effects of round 3, and visited Burgess first on the nose and then heavily on the right eye, and after slight exchanges bored him down. 9. Commenced in the usual determined way with Burgess, to whom Smith responded, but received almost a knock- down blow; at all events, he went to grass. From this up to round 20 it was an even, ding- dong, slashing fight, Burgess commencing to show marks of punishment on his right eye, and jaw, and mouth. At this time the betting had sunk to 3 to 1 en Burgess, who was thrown and fallen on by Smith in the next round. From this up to the 34th round the fight was continued in a perfectly equal manner, no perceptible advantage on either side, but Burgess gradually appearing to lose his wind until, in the 34th round, he in coming up was countered right on the nose by Smith. Again he came up, again received a counter on the same spot. Twice more the gallant little fellow bored in, and got two exactly similar smellers, which filled his eyes with tears, and Smith then landed a blow on the right jaw, which knocked him completely off his pins. 35 to 39. All these rounds were fac similes of each other, the Black visiting Burgess's upper works heavily, then closing and slipping down, until the 40th round, when he threw Burgess heavily. In the next round Burgess came up looking distressed, and at the first close slipped down. In the 42d round the Black gave him a heavy knock- down on the snout, and in the 43d and last there were slight exchanges, all in favour of the Black, who, in closing, was down. No one at this period thought the fight was over. However, all doubt on this score was settled bv Jack Lancaster throwing up the sponge for Burgess, when Smith, clearing the ropes, took a short race over the ground. REMARKS. We would not wish to see a more bustling, resolute fight, except for the few rounds after the third, when Smith certainly made all his backers afraid. To their amazement, however, as the fight progressed, he got fresher and fresher, and to our firm belief left the ring a better man than he entered it. Burgess was not ap- parently much punished, and we can only attribute his giving in to want of wind, for no man who saw the fight of Tuesday should ever deny him bravery. He also wrestles very well, but is defi- cient in reach. In the latter, however, Smith excels, although he several times led out with his open hand. Although he cannot wrestle, yet his defence is very good; and if he once acquires a smart upper cut with his right, we would not wish to bet against him with any man of his weight anywhere. From an analysis of the forty- three rounds fought, we find that the Black went down twenty- three time. Burgess seventeen, and both together three times. The whole fight lasted only fifty- three minutes, and was of that quick and exciting description which does not allow the at- tention to flag for a moment. There was but one opinion on the ground— viz, that it had been a gallant, determined, unpausing struggle, and that the best man had won. The money is to be given to Smith at Jem Clarke's, Houghton Abbey, Houghton- street, on Wednesday evening, Sept 23. Almost immediately afterwards a new pair entered, their names being Nixie and Heyes. They fought, we heard, at catch weight, for £ 10, and we should judge them lads of about 9st. Neither did much damage, save that Nixie was very effective with his right in administering rib- roasters, while he managed to receive all Heyes's blows on the right side of his neck. When the fight had lasted a short time the Heyes party thought they were get- ting the worst of it, and, to avoid the indignity of throwing up the sponge, raised a sham cry ef " Police,'' and hustled Heyes out of the ring. Nixie, who, we believe, is of the true Rotnanny blood ( at least, he has the colour strong enough) then walked up to the scratch, Heyes was in vain summoned back, and the referee awarded Nixie his due, after fighting 22 rounds in 32 minutes. We then set off for a neighbouring village, which reaching, an express train soon rolled us through Chester to Liver- pool. Our morning companions du voyage were not so fortu- nate. The steamer was fully a mile from the shore, and the boats which were used in transit in some instances could only be reached by wading waist deep. However, no one, except of course the losing men, whatever minor inconveniences he may have suf- fered, can ever look back to the excursion without feelings of pleasure. THE £ 2,00.0 MATCH. HEENAN AND KING.— The next deposit of £ 50 a side between these giants will be due at Jemmy Welsh's, Griffin, Church- street, Borough, on Thursday evening next, when both men will attend to give Jemmy a turn.

Price will open the grounds early, and the first heat of the Great Half Mile Handicap will be run at two o'clock precisely, and sparring immediately after.

Humphreys, the coroner, received notice from the police that Sergeant Hawkes, one of the detectives, had suc- ceeded in getting some clue to the mystery at present surrounding the death of Mr Hugh Dolvin Morris, a young gentleman lately residing at Btreatham, and a banker's clerk in the City, who was found dead in the river Thames under circumstances already de- tailed in this journal. Mr Wm. Perry, the summoning officer of St Botolph, Aldgate Without, and the detective officers of the H divison, have also been engaged in similar inquires, but the result of their joint labour has led them to the conclusion that the deceased must have walked down the steps of London Bridge to the urinal, and, missing his way, have fallen into the river. This explanation seems to be a correct one, as similar misfortunes have occurred at the same spot., when iron rails were placed across the steps to pre- vent them. The body, after submersion, would drift down the river among the craft, and hence the injuries noticed. A GALLANT TAB.— A very gallant and determined act was per- formed by Commander E. Wilmot, of the Euryalus, flagship of Admiral Kuper, on the night of the 25th of June last. While the ship was at anchor at Yokohama one of the marine sentries fell overboard, and being encumbered with his full accoutrements instantly sank, together with a seaman who had rushed overboard to his assistance. Commander Wilmot at this critical moment jumped overboard, and having placed himself dextrously under the drowning men, brought them both to the surface and safely on board. This is not the first act of the like nature this gallant officer has performed, and his presence on the spot, which was quite accidental, was most fortunate on this occasion in saving two valuable lives. SUNDAY CLOSING OF PUBLIC- HOUSES.— The Sunday Closing Sabbatarian Society ( represented by a Mr Mathews) has been giving another signal proof of its wisdom, and of its knowledge of the method of carrying on the legislation of the country, by ap- plying to the Chancellor of the Exchequer not only to entertain the subject of shutting up public- houses in his public capacity, but also to become a member of the Sunday Closing Association. It is needless to say that Mr Mathews has been referred to the Home Secretary a3 to the legislation, and that he has declined the honour of enrolling himself with the Band of Hope. A PIN HUNTEB.— In Paris there recently died, about 40 year ofx ge, the Baron de Sevren, a gentleman who had devoted nearly all his life to a mest extraordinary pursuit. Amongst the pro- perty he left were found two large and heavy boxes, supposed to contain cash, but turning out to be filled with hundreds of thou- sands of pins.

On Tuesday morning the annual sales of blood stock, the pro- perty of gentlemen and farmers " who bred them," commenced in the horse fair at Doncaster, but although there were a multi- plicity of persons present, buyers, " likeangels' visits," were " few and far between." Messrs Tattersall and Johnson used their ut- most ability to dispose of some very useful animals, but they only found a few customers for the yearlings, among which there were two or three promising ones. On the following day the attend ance was extremely large, and long before the appointed time for selling the ring in front of Mr Tattersall was nearly a score deep, composed principally of sight- seeing countrymen, who, although they do not as a rule want to purchase, generally remain in front throughout the sale, thereby shutting out buyers. The first sold was Teresita, a chesnut yearling filly, by Rataplan out of Ferrara, a fine slashing- looking lady, very quick in her action, who was bought by Mr W. Day for 190 guineas. Eight of Mr Wright's year- lings then came to the hammer, but only three of them were sold; a very pretty chesnut filly, by De Clare out of Maid of the Tees, going to Mr Wadlow for 150 guineas; a remarkably strong useful colt, by Weatherbit out of Hudswell Beauty, to Mr Peck for 150 guineas, and Erostratus, by Mildew out of Bonny Blink, to Mr Bainbridgefor 200 guineas. Nine, " the property of a nobleman," were then offered, and seven of them changed owners; Meti- musjid ( sister to Musjid), a very handsome filly indeed, with plenty of bone and fashion about her, was sold to Mr J. Day for 160 guineas. Pulsatilla, by Orlando out of Mulligrubs, a remark- ably good- looking animal, went cheap enough to Mr Fleming for 230 guineas ; and a bay colt by Trumpeter out of May Bell, a fine shaped, handsome- looking gentleman all over, was booked to Captain King for 360 guineas. The Boythorpe Stud yearlings, eleven in number, then came up; they were a very good- looking lot indeed, and in excellent condition. Mr Henry bought Wedding Pearl, a black colt by Rataplan out of Trousseau, a fine strapping colt, with blood- like head and neck, powerful arms and thighs; in fact, he is good- looking enough at every point, although we fancied he appeared rather rakish. Mr Wadlow obtained a strong, good- looking colt in Christmas Carol, for 280gs. Glen Isla, a bay filly, by Drumour, a smart animal, with fine racing points about her, went cheap enough to Mr Ro- bertson. Sloth, a chesnut filly, by Idle Boy out of Lena, a re- markably neat, clever- shaped animal, was booked to Lord Stam- ford for 320gs ; and Mr Treen obtained a very nice colt in Holkar, forllSgs. Mr Newton's yearlings, eight in number, were then brought forth. Lady of Rank had lots of fashion about her, and went cheap enough, for 115gs, to Mr Lambert. Phizgig, by Vol- tigeur, a sweet pretty filly, was purchased by Mr Churnside for 125gs. Several other useful animals sold very cheap, but the pick of the lot was Zambesi, a black colt, by Saunterer out of Margaret of Anjou. This colt, the image of Saunterer when a yearling, had a great many admirers, and there was a strong competition among the buyers for him. He is remarkably good- looking, with plenty of bone and fashion, with good back and loins, capital arms and thighs, good knees, hocks close to the ground, and short understandings. This colt was sold to Mr Merry for 930 guineas. Mr Johnson offered a great many lots, but he obtained but few buyers, which must be attri- buted in a great measure to these sales following so soon upon the great sale at Sledmere. The attendance on Thursday was very large, there being decidedly more buyers present than upon any of the previous days; and the gentlemen having, generally speaking, been winners on the St Leger, it gave them greater courage to speculate on the youngsters. Mr Tattersall had thirty- nine yearlings to dispose of, the majority of whom were got by some of the very best horses and out of the best mares that ever ran in England ; amongst them twenty- four of Mr Cookson's yearlings. The first lot disposed of was a bay filly by Stockwell out of Olitipa, a most beautiful- looking animal, with a great deal of quality, and altogether strong and fashionable, which was obtained by Mr Henry for 500gs; and a chesnut filly by Stock- well out of Plush went cheap to Mr Green for lOOgs. Mr Cookson's sale then commenced, and the first put up, Regalia, a very nice filly, by Stockwell out of The Gem, engaged in the Oaks, St Leger, & c, was bought by Mr Hartock. She is a very clever- looking creature, and made 720gs. Contract, a bay filly, by Stock- well out of Saccharissa, a fine roomy, strong, and fashionable lady, was booked to Mr Henry for 500gs. Tocsin, a filly by Rataplan, did not find many admirers, being rather heavy- shouldered and deficient in quality; she made, however, 165gs. Bedmirister, by Newrninster out of Secret, a very handsome colt, with a Derby- like appearance, was sold to Lord Annesley for 800gs. Exceller, by Newminster, went cheap enough, for 270gs, to Mr Peck; and Mr Churnside got the filly by Rataplan out of Sweet Pea for the small sum of 40gs, whilst Lord Vivian got a cheap colt for 75gs in The Busy Bee, by Leamington. Discretion and Warwhoop, two fillies without much quality or substance, made their full value; as did Fair Melrose, by Newminster out of Fair Helen, a very pretty and useful fill}', at 550gs. Guimauve, by Windhound out © f Jujube, a speedy- looking animal, made a fair price. Protectionist, by The Cure out of Moss Rose, very racing- like and of good substance, was bought by Mr Henry for 50gs ; and Strathspey, a chesnut colt, by Fandango out of Selina, made his full value at 260gs. Oppressor, by New- minster out of Olga, a very clever- made colt in every respect, also showing much quality, was booked to Mr Mackinse for 410gs. Puritan, a chesnut colt, by Warlock out of Revivalist, is a very smart, big, strapping, well- shaped, and fashionable animal, and under the able management of John Dawson lie is still bound to improve; he was booked to Count Batthyany for 250gs. Mr Fleming bought a cheap, quick- looking filly in Magic; and Mr Craven got a bargain in Handmaid, by New- minster. This was the last sold of Mr Cookson's lot. The following yearlings, " the property of a nobleman," were next brought to the hammer:— A bay filly ( sister to Lady Au- gusta), by Stockwell out of Meeanee, almost faultless in stiape and make, and of beautiful quality, was purchased by Mr Churnside for Australia for 560gs. Mr Higgins bought a neat, prretty- shaped filly, by Longbow out of Ranee, for 270gs; Lord Annesley purchased a very strong, useful colt, by Fazzoletto out of Boomerang. The flower of the flock was now brought into the circle, a bright chesnut colt, by Stockwell out of Wood Nymph; this colt was really a picture, for he was full of quality, of great bone and substance, very quick in his action, and, so far as gene- ral appearance goes, he is bound to race. He is in both Derby and Leger, and was sold to Mr Rowland ( for Lord Stamford, we suppose) for 850gs. Mr Wm. Day bought the next lot, a bay colt,, by Stockwell out of Sortie, a remarkably clever- looking, well- shaped animal, with capital blood- like head and neck, ex- cellent back and loins, good hocks, deep quarters, and plenty of fashion, for 510gs; a chesnut colt, by De Clare out of the once celebrated Canezou, was next put up, and there was a strong competition for this very good- looking son of De Clare, who is of good length and powerfully made, with plenty of quality, and, so far as his good looks go, he is bound to race. Lord St Vin- cent seemed determined to have him, and after a good contest he was booked to his lordship for 800gs. This concluded Thursday's sale, which may be deemed a remarkably good one.

There is no later Federal news from Charleston than that of he 4th, brought by the Oleander. The newspaper despatches announce that during the bombard- ment by the Monitors of Fort Moultrie on the 31st Captain O. C. Badger, while in the turret of the VVeehawken, had his leg broken by a bolt, which was driven through the wall of the turret by the concussion of the Confederate shots. Each of the Monitors was struck from four to eight times, and the deck of the Weehawken was much damaged. A letter from Morris Island, published in the Boston Journal of the 7th, states that General Gilrnore had 30 Parrott guns in posi- tion for shelling Charleston, and was only awaiting the arrival of ' Greek fire" shells, which are ignited by fuses instead of the percussion principle, to open fire. It adds that the reason the previous bombardment was discontinued was because the shells hen used almost invariably struck upon the base instead of the percussion end, and consequently failed to explode. Richmond papers received yesterday contain despatches of the 5th and 6tli. On the 5th Forts Wagner and Gregg were again bombarded by the Federal land batteries and Monitors. The firing was commenced at daylight, and maintained throughout the day. During the night the Federals landed near Cumming'S Point from barges and assaulted Fort Gregg. The assault was repulsed, but no particulars are given. The bombardment was resumed at an early hour on the 6th. At nine o'clock a. m. on that day it continued with great fury. No further attack has been made upon Fort Sumter, which had hen been held for 21 days against the combined efforts of General Gilmore and Admiral Dahlgren. Of 7,551 shots fired at Fort Sumter 3,495 took effect upon the outside, and 2,130 upon the inside. The flag had been shot away 14 times, and as often replaced. The bombardment of the city had not been renewed. The Government has received an official announcement from General Burnside, under date of the 5th, of his occupation of Knoxville, Tennessee. No resistance was made, the Confederate troops having evacuated the city before the Federals arrived. Despatches from the head- quarters of the army of the Cumber- land, dated the lst inst, state that information had been received by General Rosecrans that the Confederates were moving . north, ward in force, as if to attack and overwhelm General BuTm„ je ^ t Knoxville before he could be reinforced by General Roster^'- ( Telegrams received at Cape Race by the Persia.) u ' NEW YORK, SEPT LI, NOON. The capture of Morris Island, with 19 guns, is officially con- firmed. It is reported that a magazine in Fort Moultrie had blown up. General Burnside had captured Cumberland Gap, with 2,000 Confederates. General Rosecrans was threatening the Cenfederates, who have since retreated from Chattanooga. The Confederates have evacuated Little Rock, Arkansas. GAIETIES of LONDON; a profusely illustrated Guide, 3s 6d, post free.
