According to the stilted langujge of the French press, the « < Polish question lias entered a new phase." So long ago as the 15th of August laat there appeared in all the English papers an addreas of the Polish National Government to Prince Czartoryski. It was a kind of declaration of independence and something more. The Moniteur has now publiahed it. This is naturally looked upon as an act of Government, and not of mere journalism- The Moniteur is the official organ of the French Government, and nothing appears in its columns but with the full approbation, and, indeed, upon the express order of the Minister. In the present instance, and after so long a delay, nobody doubts that this particular publication was made in accordance with the com- mand of the Emperor himself. 8o, of course, all the journals of Paris are commenting upon it. What they say we have noticed in our Foreign Intelligence, and need not repeat it here. It amounts to an expression of belief that the Poles will speedily be recognised as belligerents. We are delighted to see this course ( which we advocated some time ago) is likely to be adopted in France, at least. Will our own Government hesitate to follow so good an example ? It is to be hoped that it will manifest no hesi- tation in the matter. Humanity requires that such a recognition1 should take place. At present military executions of wounded prisoners, firings of the houses of whole villages, mur- ders of women and children take place, and all are juatified on the ground that law is on the side of the Russians, and that lawless rebellion is on that of the Poles. Of course the former claims the right, in any manner, however bar- barous, to put down and crush the latter. The recognition of the Poles as belligerents would prevent these atrocities. There would be no positive law to bind the Russian Government to submit to such a recognition, but in these days opinion has some force, and the Russian Government would hardly venture to disregard the declarations of the Western Powers in such a matter. Perhaps, too, the notes of Gortschakoff having already beer, more than sufficiently offensive to France, there might be a certain amount of prudence in not offending it more. Humanity would not then be recklessly outraged, and negotiation might have a better chance than at present to put an end to a strife which surpasses even that in America in bitterness. A contemporary, in an elaborate article on this subject, says that Austria would not join France and England in such a recogni- tion, because, as to Austria, it would " entail very different con- sequences from those which it would impose on her allies. To take only one instance out of many, the Austrian authorities could not arrest and imprison Polish insurgents who might seek a refuge across the Gaiician frontier, if their character as belligerents were once admitted by the Government of Vienna." If the words we have Italicised mean to describe armed insurgents escaping from pursuit, this is bad law. The Austrian Government would have the full right to disarm them, and to prevent them, even by im- prisonment, from making from Austrian ground a freah inva- sion of Russian territory. The real difficulty with Auatria would be the apparent encouragement of the Poles of Austrian Poland to claim their nationality. The difficulty would be political, not legal. But as the Austrian Poles do not seem at all discontented with their lot, and are not outraged in their persons, and are of the same creed with the Austrian Government, they do not seem likely to become insurgents. The Austrian Government, therefore, might, so far as law is con- cerned, join its western associates in recognising the Poles as belligerents; but whether it will deem such a proceeding conso- nant with its policy and its own interests remains to be seen. The delay of Austria, however, no matter in what way occasioned, ought not to influence France and England, and it is to be hoped that we shall at once see a recognition which humanity demands, and which an over care for Russian tendencies and practices has too long delayed. COLONIAL GOVERNORS' JUSTICE. It seems an odd tiling to say, but it is nevertheless true, that the military mind often appears incapable of understanding the first principles of justice. No doubt that which it most reapects is authority. It has entire faith in command— little in reasoning. Favour it appreciates; justice almost appears to be alien to its sympathies. On almost all occasions when investigationa, ironi- cally calledjudicial, take place before a military commander, or a military board, the plainest rules of justice are diaregarded. The very recent case of the poor sergeant who was imprisoned to death because it waa suspected he waa about to give evidence unfavourable to his commanding officer is by no means a solitary instance of the way in which military men exhibit their contempt for those noble and touching words in a grand juryman's oath, not to be influenced by " fear, favour, or affection,'' but " truly and justly" to inquire. The Standard of Tuesday last gives the case of a Mr Fitzjames dismissed from his office of Chief Justice of Sierra Leone by the decision of the Governor of that colony, one Colonel Hill, who, if the statement in the Standard is to be believed, first of all refused the accused all means of knowing the precise accusation against him and the persons on whose allega- tions it was supported, and then decided on it in secret, and made his communications upon it to the Duke of Newcastle, without affording to Mr Fitzjames a fair opportunity of answering them. The worst part of this statement is the last. The confirmation of the dismissal by the Duke of Newcastle, without a fair hearing of the accused, and on the mere official representation of his ac- cuser ( who is stated to have acted both as accuser and judge), is, we hope, not, true. The other part of the matter ia so much in ac- cordance with military habits that we confess to a belief in its probability. Whether probable or not, the matter must be in- quired into, for justice so demands; and the greatness of this country is much more attributable to its observance of the rules of justice, than to the implicit obedience to authority which mili- tary men appear to place above every other consideration. FRANCE. La France says:—" The Federal corvette Kearsage will be treated at Brest like ttie Florida. The two belligerents will enjoy the same rights and the same advantages." The Moniteur repro- duces the letter from Warsaw, dated Aug 15, addressed by the Polish National Government to Prince Czartoryski, and already published by the English journals. The Opinion Rationale and Patrie attach great importance to this publication in the Moni- teur. La France considers that the insertion of the Polish memo- randum in the Moniteur has acquired the proportions of an event, and will produce a lively impression in Europe. The Ttrnps thinks the insertion tantamount to moral recognition ; the impor- tance of which would be nullified were it not the precursor of the recognition of the Poles as belligerents. The Gazette de France and the Siecle regard the matter in the same light as the Tumps. The Pays and the Constitutional republish the document without comment. ITALY. There have been two processions of the jubilee in favour of Poland. One hundred and fifty thousand persons were assembled around the Basilic of St Jean de Lateran, at the Colysfie, and in old Rome. Prince Constantine Czartoryski and a few other Poles wh « were provided with special authority followed the procession of prelates through the city. The Austrian Ambassador, M Bache, having returned from Aibano, attended the proceedings at St Marie Majeure in a state carriage! The Pope arrived at the Basilica without having been expected. His Holiness met the procession of Poles singing in their own language, and exchanged signs of sympathy with them. The deputations from the towns and villages of the Apennines have succeeded in obtaining a pro- longation of the jubilee until the 20th of September inclusively. GERMANY. The Neue Preussische ( Kreuz) Zeitung publishes the reply of the King to the princes and burgomasters of the German Free Towns who communicated to His Majesty the resolutions of the Congress of Sovereigns. The propositions of Austria and her allies are rejected, and the conditiona stated upon which the King desires to establish Federal reform. These consist in parity of Austria and Prussia in all Federal concerns, equal right of veto of both the great powers, and a different organisation in the repre- sentation of the country at the Federal Assembly to that proposed by Austria. DENMARK. As the first step towards placing the army on a war footing, the Minister of War has issued an order that the regimental lists should be filled up to war strength by the 1st of October. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. CORONERS' INQUESTS. It is a good sign to see the probability of an end to that affec. tationof fashionable superiority to old forms which indulged itself in ridiculing coroners' inquests as no longer needed in this improving age. Because one or two juries and an unlearned coroner here and there gave " deodands " in the shape of penal- ties, and happened to affix to their verdicts worda which attested and declared the mistake they had committed, the Court of Queen's Bench set aaide the verdicts, and an outcry was raised against coroners' inquests in general. They were treated as proceedings quite out of harmony with this advancing age. There was stupendous folly in this; but there was also not a litsle self- interested idleness. Tradesmen and gentlemen voted it a bore to be summoned from their homes to attend an inquest, when, in their own minds, the death, however sudden, had a known cause. They utterly disregarded the importance of not deviating from a principle, even though the particular instance of its application might appear to be needless. From objecting to coroners' in- quests they proceeded, as might naturally be expected, to some- thing else. They found out that the grand jury was a useless institution, that a police magistrate was the only person to be trusted with deciding whether there should be " a criminal inquiry or not; in short ( for this was the reality of the case), they wanted to save themselves trouble. This was an indifferentism to the duties of civil life quite as subversive of public safety and freedom as our clergy- men declare indifferentism in religion to be subversive of Chris- tian faith ; yet to this fault some of our journals gave their appro- val. It is a happy thing to see, even in one case, a charge to an opposite course. A morning contemporary contained, on Wed- nesday last, an earnestly- written article on the death of a poor professional singer, and found fault, and as we think most justly, with the insufficiency of the mode in which the coroner's inquiry was conducted. Further inquiry was demanded. We have a strong belief that a better conducted inquiry would not have brought about a different result, but we agree to the demand of our contemporary, for it is a settled principle of sound political rule that an inquiry into the cause of death should not be made to depend, in any avoidable degree, on mere guesswork. It did so here, and that was an error. The demand ior a fuller inquiry is therefore reasonable and proper. The great cause of personal safety in England, which certainly is greater than it is elsewhere, is, that an investigation into the cause of any sudden death is the settled law of the land. In other countries there may be fewer casea of murderous violence, because there are smaller popula- tions and fewer temptations among them to the perpetration of crime, but not because the security afforded by the law is greater. That security is in fact less, and numberless deaths take place in foreign countries which are passed over without remark, but which, if they had occurred in this country, would have excited a public agitation of a very active kind. In this lies the greatest security for life. With our mixed populations, with wealth and want standing so constantly side by bide, with the temptation to plunder greater here than anywhere else, and, of course, the pro- vocations of all the evil passions not less, we should be in a state of terrible insecurity if our laws provided nothing better than do the laws of foreign countries for the protection of life. Among the means of this protection the institution of the office of coroner standa pre- eminent. The inquiry following at once upon the death, the simple mode of the proceeding, the instant aasem- bling of the men of the very neighbourhood, are all meana con- ducive to a beneficial end ; and the encouragement of coroners and their juries to a careful and earnest discharge of their duties, not an indifference to those duties, will be found to be one of the best safeguards of life the law can afford. POLAND. The Invalide Busse publishes a report confirming the ststement that the Russia., s began on the 9th inst to destroy the forests bor- dering on the Warsaw and Vienna Railroad. Prince Thadeus Lubominski and Count Stanislas Zamoyski have been arrested. The Russians plundered several houses in Warsaw. The Czas publishes a leading article energetically protesting against the conduct of the official French press, and reproaching it with un- worthy derision of the misfortunes of the Poles. The two palaces of the Zamoyski family at Warsaw have been entirely plundered by the military. All the male inhabitants of both mansions have been carried off to the citadel. The two Counts Zamoyski and Prince Lubominski are in chains. The palaces have been con- demned to be used as barracks in perpetuity. The public library, the archivea of the Vistula Steam Navigation Company, and the Oriental collection of Professor Kowalewski have been burnt. TURKEY, The Levant Herald haa received a warning for publishing a letter animadverting upon the imperial expenditure in palace building and the arrears due to the army, the discussion of which topics the Government " considers inconvenient at present.'' AMERICA. The New York Democratic Convention has resolved that it will support the Government to restore tile Union as it was, and the constitution as it is. The members urge the Government to manifeat a conciliatory policy, as President Lincoln's abolition policy wonld lead to an indefinite protraction of the war and national bankruptcy. They declare the secession doctrine is as false as the claim of the Federal Government to obliterate State rights or boundaries. Mr Charles Sumner, who is supposed to speak semi- officialiy, addressed an immense audience at the Cooper's Institute on the subject of foreign relations. He de- nounced England's recognition of the Confederate States as belli- gerents, and her proclamation of neutrality as a betrayal of civili- sation. He declared that Earl Russell's treatment of the Federal Government since the commencement of the war had been un- friendly, and his correspondence hard, curt, captious, and cynical, tie said that the foreign Governments had not acted fairly since the war. The British Government could not avoid the consequence of its complicity with the pirate ships in their lawless depreda- tions, and that liability was accumulating. Moral considerations would not permit foreign Governments to recognise the South. He denounced the French offer of intervention, and declared that the Emperor of Mexico would be as powerless as King Canute against the rising tide of the American people. His chair must be withdrawn or overwhelmed. The remarks of Mr Sumner de- nouncing France and England were received with loud applause. Governor Seymour declared thathewouldemploy the Government power to restore the Union. If the Southerns returned to their allegiance he would meet them with conciliation. MEXICO. Advices from San Luis Potosi assert that the representatives of all the South American Republica had urged Juarez to form a continental alliance with thein to resist European encroachments The Federal Government had been invited to send a delegate to co- operate in the movement. The Europe says—" The Archduke Maximilian has finally ac- cepted the crown of Mexico at all risks and peril, and even re- nounces liis right and prerogatives as the nearest collateral prince to the Austrian Crown." JAPAN. Accounts from Japan state that the English ship Medusa - was, on the 15th of July, attacked by some forts and vessels that had previously fired on the American ship Pembroke. The Medusa received 24 shots, and was much injured. She had four men killed and six wounded. On the 20th of July the American ship Wyoming arrived at Kanagawa from a trip to punish the Daimio whose vessels and forts fired on the Pembroke. The Wyoming reported that she had blown up the Japanese steamer Saucefield, silenced nearly all the neighbouring forts, and left the Japanese steamer Laneck in a sinking condition. The Wyoming received 20 shots and had five men killed and six wounded, when she deemed it prudent to proceed to Kanagawa. Two thousand Japanese troops were reported to be descending towards the British vessels, but it was not thought that they would attempt to pass within the range of their guns. On July 21 the English Admiral, in the British steamer Semiramia, returned to Kana- gawa, » nd reported having arrived with the Semiramis on the previous Monday in 8imonosaki Straits. The British steamer Tancredi received the fire from the Japanese batteries, which, with the forts, were bombarded for about three hours; 153 British troops then landed, who destroyed the forts, batteries, and the town, spiked the guns, blew up the powder magazine, and burnt the village. LITERATURE. DOGS AND THEIR WATS. WILLIAMS.—[ Routledgeand Son.]— Messrs Routledge, with the aid of the Rev Chaa Williams, have added another to the long list of books they have published on the subject of man's greatest friend and companion. There is scarcely a variety of the canine race about which Mr Williams has not something to say, either in the shape of anecdote or de- scription. To these subjects alone has he confined his attention. The book is intended more for the amusement of the reader than for his iietruction, so that he must not look to it for any hinta on the feeding, rearing, physicking, or training of the animal, all of which subjects are treated by Mayhew, by Stonehenge, Richard- son, and others whose works are to be met with in Mr Routledge's library. Mr Williams has striven to produce a book which shall interest and amuse, and no more, and we are bound to say that his efforts have been crowned with success, and we trust will meet the reward they richly deserve. SEAMANSHIP. By Capt NAHES, R. N.—[ Griffin, Portsea; Long man, London.]— This work, without which no cadet ever joina his ship, has reached another edition. Capt Nares was for some years first lieutenant of H. M.' s training ship Britannia, and his book is a complete grammar of practical seamanship. It is pro- fusely illustrated with cuts of all known knots, splices, & c, and also of every portion of the rigging ef a man- of- war. The value oi the work to a seaman canuut be over estimated; it is undoubt- edly the best book on the subject ever published. REPRESENTATION or BARNSTAPLE.— The representation of Barn staple has become vacant by the death of Mr George Potts, who has sat for the borough since 1859. At the election in that year Mr Potts, who was a Conservative, was second on the poll, the numoers being:— Lieutenant- Colonel J. D. Jerguson Davie, 318 ; Mr Potts, 266 ; Colonel Sir George Stucley, 210; Sir William A Frazer, 199. Neither of the two candidates who were defeated on that occasion can offer himself for the present vacancy. Sir Geo. Stucley being at present High Sheriff of the county, and Sir Wm. Frazer having been recently elected for the borough of Ludlow. DEATH OF JACOB GRIMM — This celebrated German writer, who, in conjunction with his late brother William, has been so long well known, not only in Germany, but throughout all Europe, died on Sunday everting, Sept 20, at Berlin, after a short illness. He was born on the 4th of January, 1785, and had there- fore reached his 79th year. THE RESCUE FEOM DROWNING AT PENZANCE.— It gives us much pleasure to state that the friends of Miss Cock and Mis3 Quick have presented Mr J. E. Drew with a liandsomely- chased silver salver, bearing the following inscription :—" Presented to Mr J. E. Drew, by Susan Cock and Emtna Quick, in grateful re membrance of Ilia noble conduct in saving them from a watery grave, at the risk of his own life, on September 8, 1863.'' It also gives ua pleasure to state that Mr Drew's conduct has been brought before the Royal Humane Society, and that tjie requisite inquiries into the merits of the caae are almost completed.— Western Morning News. SUNDAY HAYMAKING.— Mr Marsh, the clerk to the Atherton bench of magistrates, has published a statement in defence of the conduct of the magistrates who recently fined some people, named Cleworth and others, for making hay on a Sunday. According to this statement of the case, the act for which the defendants were punished was not an isolated breach of the law. For some time past there had been complaints that haymaking on Sundays was getting very prevalent in the neighbourhood, and that " much drunkenness and disorderly conduct was produced thereby." A drunken man, on being summoned before the magistrates, had pleaded that he was given the drink for making hay on Sunday. A clergyman had been disturbed during the performance of Divine service by the noise of haymakers in an adjoining field. With the knowledge of these antecedent circumstances the bench ap- proached the consideration of the charge against the tenant- farmers and their accomplices. Mr Superintendent Orton's officers deposed that they found bond fide haymaking going on in the fields of Howarth, Battersby, and the Cleworths. It was not merely " saving" hay from an impending storm, but spreading it out and turning it over. " Moreover, the weather was fine and settled, and there was no appearance of change foreboding damage to the crop." No case of necessity was made out on behalf of any of the culprits, and as they declined to be let off on condition of paying the costs, the justices," thus set at defiance," had no option but to convict and fine them. MURDER BY A POLICEMAN AT SALFORD.— At Bury Bench on Monday, Sept 21, Luke Charles, a policeman, was finally exam- ined on a charge of drowning his wife at Pendleton, near Salford. Mr Superintendent Mylne, addressing the bench, said: The pri- soner, Luke Charles, is charged with the wilful murder of his wife by drowning, at Pendleton, in February last. In the first place he should prove that the prisoner's wife was murdered, then that the prisoner had strong motives to commit the murder, and had ample opportunities of committing it; and, further. that he took means of avoiding every suspicion. Heshould prove that the body of a woman was taken out of the Manchester, B > Iton, and Bury Canal, on the 14th of February last, and thit he would show beyond all doubt was the body of the prisoner's wife. A man named Green, who was passing along the canal bank early in the morning, would state that he assisted in pulling some arti- cles of woman's attire out of the canal, which were laid on the batik. . Amongst the articles was a night dress, a nightcap, and a paper containing 5d in copper; they were all saturated with water. The canal was dragged, and the body of a woman was found near the place where the clothing was discovered, and was first taken to the Church Inn, Pendleton, then to the Eccles Workhouse, and waa interred in the cemetery. This body was exhumed on Monday last, and was ident'fied by the deceased's sister, and a woman from Bury, as the late wife of the pri- soner. A female neighbour would state that on the afternoon previous to the discovery of the body in the canal she saw the prisoner and his wife at their house, and Mrs Charles was baking. She afterwards met the prisoner's wife in the street, and, from what passed between them, the neighbours understood the deceased was going to see a sister living at Pendleton, and would be back at nine o'clock. The prisoner was seen the same evening in plain clothes going in the direction of the railway station. The prisoner returned the same night, at nine o'clock, without hia wife. On hia return he ought to have paraded at the police- office, but sent word he was sick. The surgeon to the force was sent to visit him, and the prisoner remained on the sick list from the 13th to the 23d February. On the 21st February he went over to Pendleton to see his sister- in- law, and it was a remarkable fact that, from first coming to England, two years previously, until the week after his wife disappeared, he had not seen his sister- in- law. At that interview his sister- in- law proposed visiting him and his wife at Bury. A day or two after the prisoner wrote to his sister- in- law, advising her not to come to Bury, as he could not make her comfortable, because his wife had gone home to see her mother. That was the first intimation his sister- in- law had of the deceased's disappearance. The sister- in- law answered the letter, and at a subsequent interview insisted upon knowing where her sister was. To her questions the prisoner only replied she was either at Liverpool, or in Wicklow, or at Dublin. The sister- in- law aaid, " She's gone away in a troubled mind, and has taken no clothing with her.'' The prisoner replied, " Oh, yes shelias; she's taken night clothing." He should be able to trace the pri- soner and the deceased on their journey, andshonld call witnesses who would prove that they got out at Clifton, and were seen going on to the canal bank, in the direction of the place where the body was found. He would show that the prisoner had the strongest motive for committing the murder. At a place called Emo, in Queen's County, Ireland, there was a young woman living named Ellen Ford. She would tell the bench that she had known the prisoner between five and six j ears. During that time the pri- soner had been paying his addresses to her, and on two occasions went over to Ireland for the purpose of marrying her. The first time was in August, 1862. On that occasion the prisoner told her that he had come to marry her, but. he could not take her back with him then. He should prove that the very day the prisoner left Bury to go to Ireland, his wife ( the deceased) came to Eng- land, and arrived in Bury on the 24th of August. The prisoner and Ellen Ford went to a priest to be married, accompanied by two witnesses. The priest, however, refused to marry them be cause they had not brought a certificate from the priest in whose parish Ford had lived. He went over to Ireland again last month, and on the 8th returned, bringing Ellen Ford with him. He ob- THE PRINCE CONSORT.— The trial of the engines of the new screw steamship the Prince Consort, at Plymouth, will take place shortly. This ship was laid down at Pembroke as a line- of- battle ship on the same lines as the Gibraltar, but was afterwards cut in two, lengthened 23ft, and, like the Ocean, reduced to a two- ' decker. She was first called the Triumph, but this name waa altered to the Prince Consort. Her launch took place in June, 1862. The dimensions are:— Length overall, 277ft; length be- tween perpendiculars, 273ft; keel for tonnage, 232ft 3Jin ; breadth extreme, 58ft 5in : ditto for tonnage, 57ft 2in ; ditto moulded, 56ft 4in ; depth of hold, 19ft lOin ; tonnage, 4,045 26- 94 tons ; ditto Board of Trade, 3.521- 34 tons; tonnage of engine- room, 1.913' 74 tons; ditto register, 1 607 6 tons; displacement when light, 2,924 tons; ditto estimated when loaded, 6,328 tons; esti- mated draught when loaded, 23ft 7in forward, 25ft 2in aft. Her draught when launched was 12ft llin forward, and 16ft lOin aft : mean draught, 14ft- lOjin. It is intended on the trial to make her diaw23ft Sin forward, and 25ft 8in aft. Her iron masts are stepped, and the guns are on board. There will also be six months'stores in her ; the remainder will be made up with iron ballast. The heel of the mainmast is forked, to admit the pro- peller shaft. The mast is 115ft 6in long; foremast, 109ft 6in ; mizen, 82ft Sin ; and bowsprit 41ft 6in, ail of iron. The arma- ment on the main deck is 24 guns for 8- inch solid shot, each weighing 25cwt, with four Armstrongs, 110- poundera, each weigh- ing 84cwt, forward, and the like number aft; on the upper deck two Armstrongs forward and one aft— 35 in all. The engines, collectively of 1,000- horse power ( nominal), are from the manufactory of Messrs Maudslay, S > ns, and Field. The , length of the propeller shaft inboard is 9~ ft 3in, weight 17 tons, diameter 18in forward and 20in aft. The gun- metal screw- propeller is four- bladed; it weighs about 15| tons, and overhangs, or, rather, has no outer bearing. The diameter is 21ft, and the pitch, on Maudslay's principle, can be altered from 20ft to 25ft mean pitch. The stern bracket is surfaced up, and the boss of t he screw is surfaced also: the machinery is arranged so that the screw- shaft can be carried forward to close the opening entirely where the two surfaces meet, and thus the sudden influx of the sea can be prevented in case of an accident similar to that of the Royal Albert in 1856, when the water rose to her ash- pans, and her commander was obliged to run her on a sand bank in the Ialand of Teo, in the Mediterranean. The Prince Consort's screw- shaft is fitted with a disconnecting clutch and friction brake, by which, when the ship is under canvas only, the screw will be allowed to revolve freely in the water. The brake can be used when it is necessary to stop the screw, and reconnect it with the engines for the purpose of resorting to steam. In the fore stoke- hole there is a spare blade for use in case of accident; like the others, its flange is perforated with slotted holes for the reception of the screws which fasten it to the boss. The blades are twisted slightly, and become much thinned towards the outer ends. The enginea and machinery weigh 750 tons: the cost is about £ 50,500, and the manufacturer obtains in addition £ 1 per horse power (£ 1,000) for placing them on board. To aid the ventilation holes have been perforated in the masts above and below, and the coal shoots have hollow- work deck covers, which admit both air and light. Cowl- head ventilators can be substituted On the sug- gestion of Mr Sampson, her engineer, her iron fl. ips in the air casings which enclose her smoke chimneys below give place to glass doors, by which light as well as air is admitted to the ' tween decks. At each side of the upper deck of the Prince Consort, amidships, there is a round tower, seven feet high and about five feet diameter, constructed of wood 12 inches thick, which will be plated with iron four inches thick. THE CHANNEL FLEET AT LIVEHPOOL.— BANQUET TO 1.000 SEAMEN AND MARINES.— A magnificent and successful public banquet was given in Liverpool on Tuesday afternoon, Sept 22, when a number of Liverpool gentlemen, principally members of the Royal Mersey Yacht Club entertained a thousand aeamen and marines of the Channel Fleet to a dinner in St George'a Hall. The day was very showery, but in spite of this the whole affair passed off with the utmost eclat, and the dinner was decidedly one of the most genuinely hearty and jolly banquets ever recorded by the Press. The men landed at half- past twelve at the great landing stage, and there formed in procession, some of the men carrying the national ensigns. The men marched through the principal streets and round the Exchange. The streets were all alive with their gayest bunting, and as the men marched up to the hall thouaands upon thousands of spectators cheered them to the very echo. On arriving at the hall, the men were received by Commodore S. R. Graves, of the R M. r. C., the chairman of the day. Marshalled by their officers, the men were very quickly and quietly seated, and they did evident justice to their dinners, consisting of roast and boiled beef ham, vegetables, and plum pudding, each man having a pint of beer, a half bottle of rum, and a screw of tobacco. At a long table, which ran the full length of the hall, were seated the Mayor of Liverpool, surrounded by naval and military officers, and some of the most influential of the local merchant princes. The hall was beautifully decorated with flags and choice plants and flowers. After dinner the usual loyal toasts were given and heartily responded to, and the proceedings were of the most har- monious character. COURT MARTIAL.— A naval court martial waa held on board the Victory, on Monday, Sept 21, for the trial of James Petly Symes, assistant- paymaster of Her Majesty's ship Pioneer, on the charge of being on or about the 17th Sept, 1863, fraudulently defi- cient in the public moneys in his charge to the amount of £ 44 12s, and for making or causing to be made erasures or alterations for the purpose of showing a balance of £ 276 15s lid, instead of the true balance of £ 314 8s, certified by the examining officers on the 31st of March, 1853. The court was composed of Capts Scott and Seccombe, and Commanders Curme, Lowther, and Simpson. The prisoner was found guilty, and he was sentenced to be dismissed from Her Majesty's service with disgrace. THE GUN AND MORTAR BOATS — Of the squadron of screw gunboats and mortar vessels attached to the three divisions of the Chatham steam reserve in the Medway, nearly the whole, con structed for the Government during the excitement of the Rus- sian war, chiefly by private builders, those which upon survey have been found unfit to be retained in the serrice are to be for- warded from Chatham to Deptford dockyard to be broken up. Provided it be practicable the engines and machinery of the con- demned gunboats are to be taken out before their removal to Dept- ford. A history of these gunboats and the vast sums lavished on their construction would contain some singular disclosures. Scarcely one of the gunboats now belonging to the navy has been built more that nine years, and yet of the 190 which figure in the Navy List fully one- half would, upon survey, prove to be un- fitted for active naval operations. With regard to the fleet of mortar vessels lyingat Chatham no orders have yet been received, but directions have been given to the dockyard officials to adapt them for dockyard lighters and transports, as they may be re- quired. For this service their size and great strength render them well adapted. There is still a fleet of Iron mortar vessels, of large size, lying high and dry at Chatham dockyard. These are all housed over, and each boat is carefully covered with a thick coat- ing of red lead. Notwithstanding the care taken to protect them, it is believed that several of these would, upon examination, be found unfit for the service for which they were originally intended. MARRIED SOLDIERS AT CHATHAM.— The Governinent having at length decided on erecting a suitable range of buildings at Chatham for the married non- commissioned officers and troops of the line regiments quart red at that garrison— almost the only one of our large military stationa at which separate quarters have not hitherto been provided— a proposal has been submitted to the Lords of the Admiralty for the erection of a block of buildings to be occupied by the married non commissioned officers and men of the Chatham division of Royal Marines. Under the existing re- gulations the latter are compelled either to live with their wives and families away from the barracks, or to be separated from them in the barracks. A plan was laid before the Admiralty for erecting a building in a convenient site, but, contrary to expecta- tion, their lordships decided not to authorise its erection. It is, therefore, probable that some time will elapse before the married men of the Chatham division of Marines are placed on the same footing as their comrades in other branches of the service. COLLISION IN THE THAMES.— On Wednesday afternoon the London and Boulogne steamer Seine was run into in Bugsby's , 0„ „ Hole, not far from Blackwall Pier, by an iron screw steamer, the j tained lodgingafor her in Bury in two places, passing her off first Carron, belonging to the Carrou Company. Both vessels were \ as his cousin, and then as his siater. It waa due to the prisoner under full steam, but the Carron being of heavier tonnage smashed j to state that he did not live with her at either of the places as her the iron plates of the Seine, which began to fill with water rapidly | husband. This woman left Bury and went to Westmoreland, in the fore part of the vessel. As may be imagined, the utmost! where she heard of the apprehension of Luke Charles. 8he was alarm prevailed among rhe passengers, but after the collision the brought back to Burv by the police. These were the facts of the captain of the Seine, with much presence of mind, finding that case that he should have to prove ; and he should at the conclu- the vessel was sinking, kept steam up at full speed, and ran her sion of the evidence ask the bench to commit the prisoner for ashore near East Green wich in such a position that it is probable trial on the charge of wilful murder. After a good deal of evidence she can be repaired without the necessity of weighing her. For- tunately the Naiad, Woolwich and London steamer, Capt Robin- son, was on her up voyage at the time of the accident, and finding the Seine in distress, immediately went alongside and embarked had been heard the prisoner was fully committed for trial on the charge of wilful murder. HEALTH OF LONDON.— The deaths in the week ending Sept 1@ were 1.186, a number very little over the average. There were 36 the whole of her passengers and crew, with a large quantity of j deaths from smallpox, 130 from scarlatina, 142 from phthisis, & c. luggage, which was conveyed to St Katharine's Docks. The births were 1,930 children, viz, 946 boys and 984 girls. BIG GUNS FOR THE CONFEDERATES— It is stated that the two Blakely guns which are known to be at Charleston were taken into that port on the 23d of August by the Gibraltar steamer. They weigh about 20 tons each. The diameter of the breech is 4ft lin, and at tbe muzzle 2ft lin, and they will throw a 7001b shot. They are constructed on Captain Blakely's principle, which has been found highly powerful in other guns used by the Con- federates. THE JUNCTION OF METROPOLITAN AND GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAYS.— The two branch lines of railway connecting the Metropolitan with the great Northern Railway are now com- pleted and ready f,> » r traffic. The down line, or hotel curve, is constructed at the cost of the Great Northern Railway Company, and is 1.600 feet in length. The tunnel is constructed for a single line of rails, and is 14 feet 6 inches in width, and 16 feet in height, having retaining walls the whole let g* h. The tunnel on leaving the Metropolitan line rises with a gradient of 1 in 4-, and passes under the Fle- t sewer on the skew, and in ord- r t ) aMMtnM& the works this main sewer had to be temporarily diverted, and it now runs through an iron invert carried by belt arches, the work being of the m^ st ma= sive and superior character. The tunnel passes between the an> ile of the hotel and the Great Northern Railway 8tation, and although it is underground 25 feet below the original foundation - f these heavy buildings, not the least sign of settlement exists; it also passes under the kitchen and offices of the hotel and stables attached, with- out the taking down of a single wall or any signs of injury. On reaching Northampton- srreet, the line is constructed in an open cutting until it reaches the level of the Great Norhern Rail- way at the back of the station. The last curve or up line is con- structed at the cost of the Metropolitan Railway Company, * n4 it 600 feet in len_" h. On leaving t'. e Metr >;-- litan lin- it under the Pont • nville- road. where it meets the Fleet Sewer, under precisely similar circumstances as tbe west or down line, and the sewer had here to be again temporarily diverted for the construc- tion of the works of the railway tunnel, which was a most arduous undertaking, requiring the utmost skill and care, as, in the event of the sewer bin sting, the metropolitan line would be flooded and seriously damaged. The tunnel then passes under the houses on the north side of Pentonville- road, and on to the York- road, and the line connected with the arrival platform of the Great Northern Station. While the works were in progress the houses under which the tunnel passes where sustained bj- timber, some of them having persons living in and carrying on business in the mean- while, the houses being totally uninjured. The works have been executed with great skill, and reflect much credit on those gen- tlemen engaged in the construction. Mr John Fowler is the engi- neer. and Mr M. T. M. Johnson a- sistant engineer ; Mr John Jay was the contractor, and Mr John Phillips the manager. EGYPTIAN HALL.— Mr Lord continues hia highly amusing and instructive entertainment, called " The Rifle, the Axe, and the Canoe," at the above establishment. He is evidently a keen sportsman, and his anecdotes of • « unsophisticated trout'' fishing in the wilds of America are full of interest, as is also his relation of the immense influx of salmon into the Fraser River at certain periods. His ia one of the most interesting entertainments in London. VISIT OF THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES TO THE LOCH- NAGAR DISTILLERY.— On Tuesday, Sept 15, their Royal High- nesses the Prince and Princess of Wale3 and suite, including the Hon Mrs Bruce, Col Keppel. Dr Seaving, & c, honoured Mr Begg, of the Royal Lochnagar Diatillery, with a visit, to see his distil- lery and the operations in the manufacture of the Highland whisky. Thereafter the whole party honoured Mr and Mrs Begg with a visit at their own house, to ta- te the Lochnagar whisky.— Notice. The Royal Lochnagai- Whisky may be obtained of Wm, Taylor and Co, whisky merchants and exporters, 305, Oxford- street. MURDER OF TWO CHILDREN BY THEIR FATHER — On Tuesday evening a frightful tragedy was enacted at Westbromwicli by a man named Benjamin Holding, a bundler at the Albion Iron- worka, Wednesbury, who murdered his daughter and son, aged respectively four years and fifteen months, by cutting their throats. It appears that Holding left off work about three o'clock on the afternoon of the day in question. About five o'clock he was sitting in the kitchen " quietly reading the newspaper, when he asked his wife to go to his father's, who keeps a small green- ' grocer's shop about 60 yards distant, to fetch some patatoes. In a few minutes after he went to his father's house himself, when on seeing his sister and mother, who w ere just entering the doorway, he said, " I have done it." His sister replied, " Done what, Ben?" He answered, " I have murdered the two children, which I have wanted to do for sr> me time, and you can make the best of it and the worst of it " His mother and sister, in great alarm, ' immediately ran off to Holding's house, where a heart- rending and horrifying spectacle presented itself. One little girl, Mary- Jane Holding, was lying dead on the floor. On lifting the body a pool of blood was discovered beneath it, while her throat had been so deeply cut that her head seemed as if it would fall off. ; The little boy, whose throat was also cut in a similar manner, \ was lying on his back on the sofa, weltering in his blood. A large carving knife, about 13 inches long, covered with gore, was found on the floor of the room. The police were called in, but Holding did not attempt to escape. The prisoner, in explanation of his conduct, said " it was trouble ;'' but little more than this remark escaped his lips. An inquest on the bodies has been commenced | and adjourned. All nervous, bilious, liver, pulmonary, and stomach complaints are perfectly cured by Dti Barry's health- restoring Revalenta Ara- bica Food, as proved by 60.000 ca= es which had resisted all medi- cines.

MUSIC AND DRAMA. DRURY- LANE THEATRE.— The new csmedy called " Nature's above Art," produced here on the opening night of the season, having been judiciously pruned and curtailed, goes off with far better effec- and has been followed by a new serio- comic drama entitled " The Deal Boatman,'' fr0m the pen of Mr F. C. Burnand, the p • pular writer of burlesque extravaganzas, who has thus made his first appearance as a serious dramatist. The plot of this very simple story is simply told, and consists in the fact that Mary ( Miss Rose Leclero^) has been saved from a ship wrecked on the Goodwill Sands by Jacob\ anoe ( Mr G. Belmore), a Deal boatman, who has for eighteen j ear- brought her up as his own child, and who desires to see her marr: e< i to a pilot's yourig apprentice. On the approach of the wedding day, however, Mary runs away with Edmund Leslie ( Mr F. Charles), to whom she had been long secretly attached, and who. though the nephew of a baronet, had ingratiated himself in the favour of the old Deal boatman by his fondness for the sea and a sea life Jacob is in despair at the sup- posed seduction of his adopted daughter, and repairs to Sir John Houghton's, where he learns that Leslie has really married her, but has kept it a secret fearing to displeaae his uncle, who had des- tined him for a high alliance. After some rather long drawn out explanations, and the production of a miniature, it turns out that Mary is the daughter of Sir John, and thus the piece is brought to a happy termination. The first act, which was en- livened by a characteristic dance, went off' much better than the second, which hung fire owing to the unnecessary pro- traction of the general explanations. Mr G. Belmore, as the rough and ready but honest- hearted old L at man, acted with wonderful vigour, and in the pathetic scenes exhibited all the qualities of a first- rate actor ; Mrs Falconer, as Bridget, a re- lation of Jacobs who delights in relating her experiences of high life, was clever arid amusing : whilst Miss Rose Leclercq as Mary, looked and acted with becoming sense of the interest attach' the character. The drama was so well received by the and such genuine applause followed the descent of the curtain, that the author had to obey a summons of congratulation on the success of his new venture. HAYMARKET THEATRE.— This theatre re- opened its doors on Monday evening, when the assembled audience were agreeably surprised with the alterations and renovations which the manager had effected in front of the stage. The old and inconvenient benches have been removed from the dress circle, and handsome chairs covered with I trecht velvet placed in their stead. The stalls have been enlarged, and two distinct entrances made to them ; the walls of the boxes have been re- papered and painted, and the amphitheatre has been rendered easy and commodious. The aspect of the theatre was most cheerful, and had all the pleasant appearance of an eld friend with a new face. The occa- sion was not inaugurated with any theatrical novelty, the enter- tainments consisting of the farce of " Founded on Facts,'' fol lowed by Planche's favourite drama of " Charles the Twelfth," succeeded by the farce of " The Bengal Tiger," and winding up with the ballet divertissement of the " Galician Fete." Mr Alfred W igan, as Charles the Twelfth, gave his powerful impersonation of that decided monarch with his customary excellence; Mr Buck- stone, as the hearty Adam Brock, acting with his old geniality ; and Mr Compton, as Triptolerrus Muddlewerk, displaying his quaint and odd humour with unabated purpose. Miss Louise Keeley as Eudiga was most effective, and ssrig the original song of the piece. " Rise, gentle moon," in a manner to recal the ex cellence of Miss Love, the first representative of the part. In " The Bengal Tiger'' the roars of laughter which greeted the old maidish sallies of Miss Yellowleaf testified to the admirable acting of Mrs. Alfred Wigan. The comedy of " Finesse" is to be played on Monday, and the engagement of Mr and Mrs Charles Mathews is announced, together with the acceptance of a new comedy for their entree. ADELPHI THEATRE.— Mr Webster revives the very pretty drama of " Masks and Faces" for his benefit, and closes his theatre for a few days, to open again with a new drama to be called " Leah," in which Miss Bateman, an American actress of celebrity, is to make her first appearance before an English audience. Mr Arthur Stirling, from the St James's Theatre, is also announced as under an engagement. STRAND THEATRE.—" Where's your Wife ?" is the title of a new farce produced here on Monday last, and which must be pronounced a success, inasmuch as the" audience laughed inces- santly from the beginning to the end of its practical absurdities. Two husbands, named respectively Mr Flodderand Mr Lillicrape, goto masked balls, Cremorne, and other places in search of amuse- ment, and are punished for their frailties by their wives, one of whom assumes a servant's at tire, and occasions the delinquent much tribulation by going to his house as a new domestic, having pre- viously met him at Cremorne. In this hilarious little affair Mr Belford dashes through the part of the erratic amoroso with un- flagging spirit, and Miss Maria Simpson, as the pretended servant, keeps up the fun with capital taste and humour. A new piece is aaid to be under rehearsal, in which Mr Leigh Murray is to sus- tain the principal character; and a drama of a more serious nature than those usually represented at this theatre is spoken of as likely to introduce Miss Kate Saville to the habitues and patrons. SURREY' THEA. TRE.— With an earnest desire to maintain the prestige of this favourite transpontine establishment, and produce pieces worthy of its acquired renown, Mr Shepherd has recently entered into a compact with the well- known tragedian, Mr James Anderson, whereby that gentleman has become co- lessee with him. Under their united management the theatre has been opened for the winter season with an historical drama in five acts, entitled " The Scottish Chief," founded, for the most part, on Miss Porter's well- known novel. The incidents are stirring and striking, and to say that it is most effectively put on the stage is to give but a faint idea of the really magnificent scenery painted by that talented artist, Mr C. Brew, or the general stage effects. The part of Wallace is sustained by Mr Anderson with consum- mate judgment and success, as the nightly applause attendant on hia efforts abundantly testifies. He is most ably supported by Mr Fernandez as Sir James Douglas, and Mr Charles Vincent as Sir John Monteith; the minor parts being, alao well filled. Miss Pauncefort as Helen Marr ( the Maid of Ellerslie) is, as uaual, earnest and natural, and in her truthful rendering of the devoted wife she stamps herself an actress of no mean ability. The play is followed by " The Mystery," a " serio- comic drama" in two acts, which is strongly cast and well acted ; and the combined attractions of the two pieces ; are likely to draw good houses for some time to come. MR MELLON'S CONCERTS.— The engagement of Mr Santleyhas been a source of additional attraction to these charming musical entertainments. He has been singing some of his choicest songs, and his reception has testified to the favourable status he has at- tained in public estimation. The " Faust'' selection continues to excite the musical enthusiasm of the multitude, a fact which speaks well for the increase amongst us of sound musical taste. Mr Mellon's efforts to please are stated to havs achieved for him something more than the expression of public approba- tion, the financial results having been from the first highly satis- factory. MR CHARLES MATHEyvs.— This elegant and versatile comedian seems to have established himself in the theatrical hearts and haunts of the Parisian public, his impersonation of " The Bashful Man" continuing to evoke the laughter and applause of the audi- ence at the Varietea. HOWDEN HORSE SHO « "— The reputation of a Yorkshire horse fair is well known, arid Howden horse show, which opened on Monday, Sept 21, fully sus'ained its character. The show com- prised an extensive field of cattle of the highest order, which were in moderate request by dealer*, but there was not that spirited competition which is evinced at the spring fairs. Handsome and promiaing young horsea, suitable for pair harmaa and private carriage purposes, made from 50 to 65gs, and matched pairs of bays and greys from L" 0 to 180gs ( this class of cattle are unbroke to " double harness, and require seasoning and settling down); well grown thick- set horses for carriers, town carts, and road work. 35 to 50gs: and active, short- jointed cattle, adapted to omnibus work and artillery purposes, were in active demand, at figures varying from 30 to 45gs: heavy cart horses, sound and young, for brewers, distillers, merchants, & c, 50 to 60gs, and seasoned cart horses for agricultural work, 15 to 22gs.— Blood stock :— Notwithstanding the recent great sale in another part of the county of the stud of Sir Tatton Sykes, there was a ready demand for horses of high pedigree. Hunters of speed and power and good stayers fetched prices ranging from 120 to 300gs, and horses of " peculiar properties" and well accustomed to the hounds realised figures in accordance with their celebrity. Young Irish horses, suitable for the hunting field, met a fair share of patron- age. Brood mares, colt", & c, were freely speculated in. Hand- some weight- carrying compact cobs, 22to35gs; and neat- go> ng galloways 28 to 40gs. Cover hacks, roadsters, hackney and single harness horses, fetched from 25 to 38gs. Horses of inferior stamp commanded no attention. London and the provinces were well ted. and continental agents were actively engaged. IM SHUT FAIR.— This annual sheep fair, which is the I no -• and most important of this description held in the county B x, took place on September 21st, ou the Downs overlooking the town of Lewes, and brought together a large concourse of persons bent on business and pleasure. The average number of sheep sent to this fair for some j ears hack lias been about 30,000, on one occasion recently the number having been 36,000; but this year, owing to a variety of causes, the supply fell considerably short of this, only 24 000 being penned. For the most part, how- ever, the sheep were in first- rate condition. There was a large attendance of flockmastera from all parts of the county, besides man}- dealers who had come from distant grazing districts. At the commencement of the fair rather stiff prices were asked by the sellers, which had the effect of checking sales to some extent, as tbe purchaser* bad evidently made up their minds to act with it of no use. however, the buyers gave way, and a large number of s- beep changed bands at a comparatively high figure. The prices for ewes, in which a brisk trade was done, varied from 30s to 47s 6d, although one exceptional lot was purchased so low as 27s per head. Lamts were iu great re- quest, and commanded higher prices than have been obtained at this fair for ten years previously, they ranging from 24s to 36s each. There was a good supply of rams for letting and hire, for which the demand waa active, and they moved off at prices rang- ing from 9 to 15 guineaa per head. There was a tolerably fair supply of lean stock and horses, but they did not appear to be much in request. A drove of about 100 Irish heifers met with a ready sale, at prices averaging about 10 guineas each. Several sirart showers of rain fell during lhe day, but this did not inter- fere with business to any material extent. FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT AT [ NOTTINGHAM.— TWO PERSONS DROWNED.— A distressing accident occurred on Thursday in the river Trent, near Nottingham, whereby two persons lost their lives. It appears that two young gentlemen named Hurst had been enjoying the festivities at a wedding. The party, after the wedding," went to Cli ton- grove to spend the remainder of the day. Mr John and Mr Edward Hurst left the party, and engaged a small boat at the Union Inn, and took with them a boy named Bromley to act aa coxswain. To get to the grove from the inn the boat had to pass through an arch of the Trent bridge, where the current is very rapid. When striving to row through the arch, owing to a flush of water the boat was nearly upset, the boy being thrown out, but it being shallow water where he was, the Hursts told him to keep stationary andthev would soon rescue him. Bromley, however, unfortunately took hold of the side of the boat, and it immediately capsised, both the young men being pitched into a very rapid stream, as also the boy. Mr John Hurst ( who is a good swimmer) tried bard to save his brother, and had great difficulty in saving himself from drowning. All his efforta, however, were of no avail, and both Edward Hurst and the boy Bromley went to the bottom, and were seen no more until their bodies were got out of the river, both being quite dead. DESPERATE POACHING AFFRAY.— Between 11 and 12 o'cloc on Monday night last, as police- constable Marples was on his rounds at Kilburne, he met Christopher Bollington. keeper to Mr Wr. D. Lowe, of Locke Park, who informed him that there was a gang of poachers in the neighbourhood. They were met by Joseph Power, keeper to Mr H. F. Hunter, Kilburne Hall, and went into a field, Bollington taking one side, and Marples and Power the other. Bollington was the first to come up to the gang of three poachers, who immediately attacked him wi , h large bludgeons, knocking him down by blows on the head, arms, and body. He cried < ut, and Marples and Power ran up, and saw Bollington on the ground, foaming at the mouth, and quite in- sensible. One of the poachers, observing the approach of the officer, ran away ; but one attacked the keeper, and the other set on the policeman. The keeper ( Power) knocked his man down, and Marples having lost his stick was beaten by the other poacher, who, however, kept retiring. Marples defended himself with his staff as well as he could, but he received several severe blows i before he closed with the poacher. A desperate struggle i en> i, ed, in the course of which they were alternately up and down, till at length, both becoming exhausted, they ; lay for ten minutea, the constable's staff being held by the poacher, and his trowsers torn by the poacher's dog. By this time Bollington had recovered his senses, and hearing Marples crying for assistance, ran to him. The poacher then said he would " give in," and he and Marples rose from the ground. The officer had scarcely, however, got on to his feet before he was knocked down by the poacher, who was immediately secured by Bollington. In the meantime, Power, though nearly exhausted, still kept the other poacher on the ground. Both men were ultimately secured and taken to Mr Ogden, the parish constable at Denby, who put his liorseinto acart. and took the prisoners and the othersto the Smalley lock- up, leaving Marples at his own house, as he was quite ex- hausted, and unable to go any further. When the poachers were discovered they were " at full work." The seizures included 200 yards of netting, a number of rabbits, and a dog. On Tuesday the prisoners ( whose names are James Parkin alias Cloggy, a shoemaker, from the Ripley district, and Thomas Howaon of Heage) were taken before Mr J. Radford, and were remanded till Saturday. On Tuesday morning the deputy chief constable, Mr Moran, visited Marples at his station, and found that he had suffered severely, his wounds being chiefly on his head and arms. The officer's trowsera and cap were torn by the dog. The poachers were also severely beaten in the desperate struggle. BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, SEPTEMBER 26, 1863. o MODERN ARTILLERY. What are we to do ; how are we to keep our over- burdened, knowledge- laden ship before the wind, and in the " fairway" of scientific mechanical progress? Even while we write, invention, combination, and experiment are rapidly constructing fresh plat- forms along the ever- advancing parallels of military engineering. Thor and Vulcan are in partnership, and every huur their anvils , ring out o'er the world from the blows of their Cyclopean ham- i xners, that remind ambitious man of the powers of those destructive agents which accompany his grandest and mightiest creations. Under this unceasing " forward " of war and war's implements, we may well ask the question, " What are we to do ?" Lancaster battered Sebastopol, Blakeley defends the beleaguered Charleston, Armstrong went as Mars's missionary to China, andWhitworth re- mained to reap quiet laurels at Hythe. In our review of Mr West- ley Kichards's pamphlet a fortnight back, we think we gave some tangible reasons for the non- ad missibility of breech- loading to large ordnance, especially when we are promised flve- and- twenty or thirty ton guns if we will only order them. Whatever princi- ple of breech- loading comes into the service for good and all, if any should ever come, it is quite clear that the Armstrong must be abandoned. Last Friday fortnight the much- hoped- from New- haven trials of that much- bepraised and much- abused gun were brought to a clore; and here is something more to a^ d to our stock of information respecting this hitherto costly instrument, derived from pretty reliable sources. The guns " operated on" were a 110- pounder, a 70- pounder, arid a 40- pounder, all breech- loaders. These guns were fine rifled— something resem- bling " crimping" on a woman's frill, or the border of her baby's cap— a mode of grooving so easily ploughed away by a twisting shot leaving the barrel, that the wonder has been rather exten- sively expressed why it was ever adopted. On the last day of the trials the firing was carried on rather quicker than it had been previously, and the consequence was that when the gun became how* ^ cl'imPe< i rifling acting on the lead- coated shot soon des- troy,., Everything approaching to ordinary accuracy. When the shot got clear of the muzzle, it seemed to have adopted a line of flight of its own, and left very little comfort behind it as to where it was going to laud. In the shell practice, too, this petted and spoiled child of the gun family conducted itself wiucli in the way that petted and spoiled children of any family do. With the full charge of 121b of powder, several of the shells burst at the muzzle of the gun, and one actually went to pieces in the gun itself, cut- ting up the grooving as if it was " rifled" gingerbread, which it somewhat resembles. Such shells as did get clear away sent their lead coating flying in all directions, and fell short, as they must do. Our readers may be surprised at these revela- tions, but we are not. When the Armstrong gun was in China, in action, the lead from the shot " stripped" in the same way, to such an extent that the skirmishers of the - 14th Begiment were obliged to be called in, lest the flying lumps of lead should make " casualties" of them. Notwithstanding the encomiums which the lamented and unfortunate late correspon- dent of The Times there bestowed upon them, the old service field guns were brought up, and by a miracle saved the day. This failure of the Armstrongs was denied both in and out of Parlia- ment with a pertinacity worthy of a better cause, until at last official information rendered further contradiction an evidence of lunacy. The experiments of a fortnight ago have further proved " that the 110- pounder could not be depended on in the hour of greatest need, in a close hand to hand combat, and established also the fact that the peculiar nature of the Armstrong rifling rendered it very difficult, if not impossible, to obtain a safe fuse for the gun." And this is what we have got after the expenditure of nearly three millions of money on this very weapon ! But why go on with these " experiments V Cui bono— What's the good ? If our readers will turn to Bell's Life of Nov 2, 1862, they will read, in an article on this very question, as follows:— " With respect to lead- coated projectiles, they are subject to se- rious drawbacks with large charges of powder, and other defi- ciencies with small charges. If the lead is put on the iron shot thickly, to get mechanical fit, and any charge of powder exceed- ing one- tenth the weight of the projectile employed, the force acting on the base of the shell is so great that the lead is jammed against the sides of the bore, and the gun invariably bursts about the twentieth round. Such has experience proved to be the inex- orable logic of facts ! On the other hand, if the lead is coated on thinly, as in the shells of Sir William Armstrong, and any charge of powder exceeding an eighth of the weight of the projectile em- ployed, the flame of heat evolved from the combustion of the powder is so great that, the attenuated lead is melted from the shell, and passes out of the muzzle of the gun in the form of globules of liquid metal, or remains within the bore, im- peding the loading and firing at the next discharge. The conse- quence of the latter course to the flying shot is, that it has been deprived of its proper rifled power, and the grooves of the gun are irremediably injured. Does it not seem strange that, after what we have just quoted, this country should be still paying for such costly experiments that were determined so long ago, and th at we should have to re- chronicle them ? Yet these experiments are continued at the nation's cost, and although Bells Life, nearly twelve months' ago, published the irredeemable failure of those guns, arrived at from actual trials long previously, we again read that within the last fortnight the"" Newhaven experiments'' show that " the defects of lead- coated shot and tine grooving were made only too apparent!" And, furthermore, wequote from a reportof the practice:—" Last Thursday's experiment, which was conducted partly to try the fuses, showed 110- pounders could not be depended upon in the hour of greatest need, in a close hand to hand combat, and esta- blished also the fact that the peculiar nature of the Armstrong rifling renders it very difficult, if not impossible, to obtain a safe fuse for the gun." One would think all this would be enough to try somewhere else for breech- loaders, or to abandon them; but no; for as if to show the fatuity that presides over the artillery department of the service, we read in The Times of the 16th inst that " experiments" are still going on by the Marine Artillery at Fort Cumberland, Portsmouth; by the Royal Artillery at Lamp's Fort; and by the trained seamen gunners of the Excellent trial gunnery ship, with the " new" wedge Arm- strong 40 and 70- pounders— that is, Cavalli's wedge principle of 1845, adopted and adapted by Sir William Armstrong! Those who wish to pursue the " wedge" information further, must refer to our number of Sept 7, 1862. But to the results. These " new" breechers are under further trial " at other out- stations under competent officers." And from the sime authority we learn that " the guns under trial are the most perfect form of the Arm- strong breech- loader extant." A little lower down we read that, " with all the wonderful accuracy exhibited by both the guns, there was a great eccentricity of movement observed in the aftercourse of the shots; and the general opinion which has been formed thus far of the wedge gun is, that it is not in its present state at all fit for sea service!'' Now, is not this enough to make the blood boil of any man who sees the executive humbugging the public in such a miserable way. But the worst has to be told; listen. " As the present trials have been ordered to obtain a simultaneous testing of the gun under officers of known skill and experience, it is very possible, as before observed, that their re- ports of the trials may contain such valuable information and suggestions as may render the 70- pounder a serviceable main- deck gun for our ships of war, so far as its calibre and the weight of its shot will permit its being so." There is something shocking, if not positively criminal, in leading the nation on in this way. To say, at a time wh^ n we are building iron- clad turret ships to fight 200 or 300- pounder guns at sea, that, month after month, and year after year, brigades of artillery, afloat and ashore, should be engaged at a vast expenditure of powder and shot, in known futile endeavours to patch up the Armstrong 70- pounder self- condemned breech- loader, and foist it upon us as " a serviceable main- deck gun for our shi ps of war," is something abominable. We would not have the slightest hesitation to stake the hand that writes these lines against an old powder flask, that not all the printing ink that will ever fertilise paper between the banks of the Styx and " Paul's Cross," will ever succeed in making the Armstrong breech- loader the gun of the British service! Breech- loading cannon is, nevertheless, not abandoned; Mr Richards himself hints at something coming out of the mist. Capt Blakely, too, has just patented a gun, the object of which is that the breech may open by the act of firing, and, when the gun runs in, another charge may be immediately inserted, the piece " laid,'' and fired again. We have only seen a sketch of this gun on paper, and can, therefore, say no more about, it at present, but we will inspect the model as soon as we can. Mont Storm, the American, has also brought out another, which a company is being formed to manufacture, whilst Mr Whitworth tells us of his new " steel- iron" muzzle- loader. We don't know whether the new breech- loading principles are to be applied to heavy guns or not, but if so, the inventors are men, especially Biakely, who know what they have to contend against. The last named gentleman is a regularly educated artillery officer, formerly belonging to our own service : he has been very successful in his now celebrated " Biakely gun,'' which the Federal armies know to their cost, and which bristles from the defences of Charleston. When these guns were tried on the Liverpool coast in July, 1861, we re- corded their practice in the presence of officers sent over from more than one continental army, and they have fully sustained that reputation. This is the first time, we believe, that Captain Biakely has tried breech- loading, and we are rather curious as to how he will work it. But whatever way it is we must not " Pooh pooh" the Americans who are experimenting so terribly in earnest for our benefit. The late Sir Howard Douglas— no mean authority — tells us that, " It, is a sage maxim in war, or in preparing for war, not to overrate your own force, nor to underrate that of the actual or expected enemy.'' Under no circumstances must we abandon the round shot. If we do, where are we to get our ricochet firing from ? Long shot won't roll along like a cricket ball, but, as we have repeatedly witnessed on most of the g^ eat practice grounds, if it can't plough through an obstruction it glances off", tumbles tail over tip, and buries itself in the ground. Let us suppose that we are in a position to enfilade the guns of a fort. Br using round shot we get that bounding, or " ricochet" motion, which will effectually dismount any gun it hits, or " casualty " any number of men in its way as long as it rolls. The Portsmouth correspondent of The Times of Sept 11 tells us of the Americans and their battering 15- inch guns, whilst we have only an 8- inch to i ely upon. Let us ask what is the offi- cially acknowledged best gun we have. Indisputably the old 95cwt 68- pounder. And this is the exact position of England at a time when iron has altogether superseded timber and granite for defensive purposes, after an unparalleled lengthy and costly course of experiments, which, however, have been chiefly absorbed in the Armstrong- Whit worth controversy, and in the adoption and partial abandonment of the Armstrong system. . . The Federal and Confederate Americans are fighting their battles and destroy- ing iron- clads and forts, in a manner that astonishes Europe, with monster cannon, the majority of which are manufactured in Eng- land. . . While Russia is in the market offering contracts to English manufacturers for the supplv to her of 4,000 Biakely guns, none under five tons weight, England is left in the midst of this hurly- burly of war with her old 68- pounder. Here is a true and a melancholy picture. And this is exactly what theWhitworth- Armstrong controversy has brought us to. The influence which the amenities of " Sir William " has procured for him at the War Department, leaves us with the old 68- pounder as our best de- fender at this moment, whilst our inventors are bound hand and foot with official red- tape and kicked off to Russia, Yankee- land, or the devil, for what the " cold shade" cares, to place a power in the hands of our future enemies that may some day make us bitterly bite the dust; and yet in the face of'all this the Government has the cruel hardihood to be still going on at this very moment with further Armstrong breech- loading " experi- ments !" Are there no members of Parliament with sufficient patriotism or sufficient public spirit courageous enough to band themselves together for the purpose of breaking the fetters im- posed upon us in this question ? Mr Westley Richards has not been severe enough on this point, but we can easily understand i. that., as he knew what he was open to. The " questions to be determined by comparative experiments" are— the best principle ^ f rifling, the relative weight of projectile and powder for accu- racy and extreme range for high velocity, the position for igniting the charge, and the quality of the powder. The dimensions, form, and material of the projectile. both for accuracy at extreme ranges and high initial velocities ; the best relative weight of guns for accuracy, range, and velocity ; together with the length of bore to diameters in its relation to initial velocity, accuracy, range, and proportion to the projectile. Mr Richards does not believe that these conditions have been ar- rived at, nor does he think that, the mystery of an Ordnance com- mittee is likely to help their development. In naval guns he would take the 95cwt 68- pounder as the starting point to work upwards from, and he would determine by marks of value, initial velocity, destructive power against iron plates, lowest angle of elevation, rapidity of loading, freedom from fouling, durability, and, if a breech- loader, simplicity of arrangement; projectile, its cheapness nnd freedom from liability to injury on service or in store. In concluding our remarks upon the great- gun portion of Mr Richards's pamphlet, we heartily commend it to the perusal of every person seriously interested in this momen- tous question. He may console himself that, by writing it, he has done far more service to his country than those " public instruc- tors" who have spared no means, and halted at no scruples of con- science to create, bolster up, and try to force down the public throat the principles of that very controversy which has left us in our present unfortunate position, and which, if tolerated, will in- falliby produce, some day, deep national humiliation and disgrace. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. THE MYSTERIOUS DEATHS AT WOLVERHAMPTON AND DUDLEY. — Tesday, Sept 22, the adjourned inquest was held in Wolverhamp- ton on the body of the man WM. Cheenery, who was found dead in a house in Wolverhampton, his head having been frightfully injured, apparently with a hatchet, and with the cognisance, there is no doubt., of the young woman Rosannah Steadman, who had lived with him as his wife, who locked up the house in which Cheenery was found, and who, the day before that house was forced open by the neighbours, was discovered dead in an empty house in Dudley, her body, like that of her murdered paramour, Cheenery, far advanced iri decomposition. A great deal of evidence was given to connect 8teadman with a matchseller with whom she was living after her quarrel with Cheenery; and ultimately the inquiry was adjourned for a month. THE POLISH ENLISTMENT CASE.— On Wednesday Alfred Styles, a gentlemanly- dressed and good looking young mari, surrendered to his bail to answer to acharge preferred againat him by the Russian Government, for that he, being an English subject, and this country being at peace with Russia at the present time, did endeavour to get up an expedition for the purpose of quitting this country, in order to take part in the war now raging in Poland, such an act. being against the laws of England, and an infringement of the Foreign Enlistment Act. Mr Poland, for the prosecution, stated that on being taken into custody the defendant had said that if he was acting against the law he would at once give up his intention. The Russian Government had no desire to punish the defendant, but only wished to put a stop to this kind of business, and he thought the ends of justice would be suffi- ciently met by the defendant entering into his own recognisances not to repeat this offence, and to promise to come up for judg- ment at any future time if called upon so to do. Mr Giffard assured the jury that his client had not the slightest idea that he was doing wrong or breaking the law. He had served with dis- tinction in the Garibaldian campaign, and had also held a com- mission in the English army. Far from thinking that he was doing a wrong, the defendant had thought he was rather doing a good and noble action in thus enlisting men to fight on behalf of unhappy Poland in what he thought was a righteous cause. He was now ready to give his word of honour the offence would not be repeated The defendant was then bound over in the sum of £ 100 to appear when called on. A SCENE IN COURT.— In the Second Court, on Tuesday, David Flynn, William Mills, and Michael Cassidy, were tried for as- saulting a policeman named Smith, in the execution of his duty. The facts lay in a very narrow compass. The occurrence took place in the High- street, Woolwich, on the night of Monday, August 24. The constable, Smith, was there on duty, and saw a number of prostitutes making a disturbance. He proceeded to quell it, whereupon the prisoner Mills, who was standing at his door— the house he kept being a brothel— interfered, and said that the constable had no business to interfere with the women. The constable was going away, when Mills came behind him and struck him with his fist. Then the prisoner Flynn came up and also struck the constable. Flynn was in a very excited state, and called for a poker. His wife gave him a broom- handle, with which he dealt the constable a blow, and knocked him down. Flynn then struck the constable several times, and gave him some severe kicks in the head. Cassidy about this time appeared upon the scene in his shirt and trowsers, and inflicted some severe blows on the constable's side. Cassidy was subsequently pursued into Fly tin's house, where he was apprehended, and about the same time the other two prisoners were taken into custody. The con- stable was so seriously maltreated among them that he was even up to the present time suffering seriously from the effects of the blows. At the ciose of the case for the prosecution, which was sustained by the evidence of the constable, and of two women of loose character from Woolwich, who witnessed the occurrence, Mr Ribton, before proceeding with his address to the jury, in- formed the court that he had witnesses to prove that Flynn was standing at his own door when the constable in an offensive man- ner told him to move on.— The Common- Sergeant intimated that, even if this were so, it would be no justification for a man to strike the policeman, much less to kick him when he was on theground. Mr Ribton said he was in a position to prove, in addition, that the policeman had struck Flynn first. The learned counsel then proceeded with his address to the jury, commencing it in a low and measured tone of voice, but, after a while, speaking in a very loud key. While commenting upon the facts, he contended that a policeman had no right to interfere with a man who was stand- ing at his own door, and that this was a principle known from the highest to the lowest functionary in the land. He thought it very unlikely that any Englishman would submit tamely to inter- ference under such circumstances, and that the prisoner had a right to act as he had done. He believed no one would controvert that doctrine.— The Common- Sergeant: I certainly will, and I am surprised to hear you lay it. down. The constable, in my opinion— and I shall tell the jury so— was in the execution of his duty, and the prisoner had no right to kick him when he was down. An altercation now arose between the Common- Sergeant and Mr Ribton, in the course of which Mr Ribton raised his voice to a very high pitch, and his manner was anything but conciliatory or respectful, ultimately the Common- Sergeant adjourned the court in the middle of the trial. On Wednesday atthe reopening of the court Mr Ribton expressed his regret at what had taken place. He had not the most rsmote idea of being in any way disrespect- ful to the court, and he only hoped his lordship would at once dis- miss that impression. In conclusien he ( Mr Ribton) again ex- pressed his regret that his lordship should have taken his tone of voice in the light which he had done.— The Common- Sergeant at once admitted what the learned counsel had said, as it was easy for him to believe that no disrespect of. any sort was meant; but he supposed that in advocating the rights of his client he was not aware of the tone of voice he had assumed. He ( the learned Sergeant) did not charge him at all with intentional disrespect to the bench, and he should be very unwilling indeed to believe that any barrister would so commit himself; but still, the tone of voice in which he ( the learned counsel) spoke, much more than the words themselves, was disrespectful, and he would leave it to any person to say whether it were so or not. It was the first duty of the judge to maintain order and decorum, and it was the duty of the counsel to assist him. The Common- Sergeant, in conclusion, said he was happy to accept his explanation, as he felt quite assured, after what he had stated, that the language and tone of the learned counsel were only produced by his over zeal on be- half of his client. The subject then dropped.— The trial was re- sumed and all the prisoners convicted. Flynn was sentenced to 15 months', Cassidy to nine, and Mills to eight months' im- prisonment. ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER BY A MOTHER.— On Wednesday Ellen Engleheart, a well- dressed young woman, was tried for the manslaughter of her child, Constance Engleheart. The prisoner lived with her husband, who was a person in a very respectable position of life, at Eltham, in Kent., and it appeared that the child in question, which at the time of its death was four years old, was born about four months before the marriage, and it was suggested on the part of the prosecution that this fact had something to do with the treatment to which the deceased child was subjected, al- though the evidence did not appear to bear out this suggestion to any extent. The transaction that was the subject of inquiry took place on the 31st of July, and it appeared that on this day the husband had gone to London, and the prisoner, the deceased child, another child, a little boy, and a servant girl named Jane Maynard, were left in the house. Between five and six o'clock in the evening the servant, by direction of the prisoner, placed the tea things on the table in the dining- room, and while the prisoner was in her bed- room upstairs the deceased child upset the milk jug, pulled the tea things from the- table, and strewed them about the room, and also committed a very dirty act upon the carpet. The prisoner seemed to have been very angry when she came downstairs, arid she made use of the observation that she had fre- quently promised the deceased a bath, and now she would give her one, and she directed the girl Maynard to put a bath in the sink and fill it with cold water and put some salt in it. This having been done, according to the evidence of the servant, the prisoner tied a napkin round the child's mouth, and dipped its head several times into the water and then the body, and kept her there for ten minutes. She also repre- sented that after this the prisoner administered some cod liver oil to the child, and because some of it was spilt upon its breast she placed the child under the pump and pumped upon it, and then laid it upon the stone sink, as she said, " to dry.'' The prisoner then, it appeared, went upstairs with the child, and in a short time she came down again and said she thought she had kept the child too long in the cold water, and she sent for some brandy and ordered a warm bath to be prepared. It was observed at this time that there was a severe bruise upon the right temple of the child, and the prisoner said that this had been caused by her having accidentally let her fall from her arms as she was bringing her downstairs. The child, it appeared, died on the following morning, and upon a post mortem examination taking place it was discovered that the death was occasioned by ex- travasation of blood upon the brain, which extravasation was occasioned by the blow on the temple. There appeared to be no doubt that the poor child was addicted to dirty habits, and Dr Blakesley, a medical gentleman, who had attended upon it a year before its death, stated that he had recommended the prisoner to put the child in a cold bath with salt in it, in order to strengthen the system. It did not appear, however, to be in any way contended on the part of the prosecution that the immersion of the child in the bath was the cause of the death, but the fact relied upon to support the charge of manslaughter was that the injury to the temple was caused either by a blow given by the prisoner while she was upstairs with the child, or by her forcing it against the mouth of the pump at the time it was being pumped upon. A statement made by the prisoner when under examination before the coroner was put in and read, in which she contradicted the evidence given by the girl Maynard in several particulars. Her version of the affair was that she merely placed the child in the bath to cleanse her from the filthy condition in which she was, and that when she took her upstairs she saw that she was trembling, and apparently very cold, and she told her that she would put her feet in warir. water, and that she was a stupid little monkey for doing such things, and the child replied that she would never do it again. She said that, she then took the child up in her arms, and was about to carry her downstairs, when the sleeve of her dress caught in some manner upon the staircase, and the child fell down the stairs, and thus re- ceived the injury upon the head that caused its death.— The pri- soner was acquitted of manslaughter, but found guilty of a com- mon assault. She was brought up the following morning and sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. ASSAULTS BY THE POLICE.— On Thursday William Smith and Thomas Alluin surrendered to take their trial on an indictment charging them with violently assaulting and inflicting personal injuries upon William Thomas and Benjamin Woodnutt.— The inquiry into this case occupied the attention of the court and jury for a considerable time, but the facts may be briefly narrated. — On the part of the prosecution it was alleged that the pro- secutors, who are barge builders residing in Rotherhithe, and in the same employ, after leaving their work on the night of Satur- day, the 25th of July, went to their homes and remained there until about ten o'clock, when they proceeded to the residence of the prosecutor Woodnutt's mother, in Millpond- street, where they partook of supper and one glass of beer each. They were return- ing home when the two defendants, who were on duty in plain clothes, came up to them, and, as alleged, using most coarse lan- guage, said that they had been long on the watch for them, and that they would lock them up. The men Thomas and Woodnutt at once denied that they were the characters the defendants had imputed to them, and eventually Thomas was knocked down by the defendant Smith, and Woodnutt by Allum. The prosecutors were followed to the residence of Thomas, but not by the defendants, who, on alarm being given by the prosecutors, ran away. The prosecutors were, however, followed to the residence of the mother of Thomas, and there taken into eustody by a policeman named Lamb, on the charge of being drunk, disorderly, and having assaulted the police. The prosecutors were locked up on the charge, but subsequently bailed out, and on the case being heard by Mr Traill at the Greenwich police court the charge was dismissed after a long in- vestigation. The allegation on the part of the prosecution was that both the prosecutors had been seriously injured by the de- fendants, and this was the point at issue.— Mr Sleigh, for the de- fendants, said he was in a condition to negative the assertion that his clients had been guilty of the violence imputed to them. The defendants had been long in the service, and by good conduct, had been raised to the position of detective officers. It would be known that a row had taken place in Dockhead, Rother- hithe, at which it was supposed the prosecutors had taken part, and were consequently watched, and eventually taken into custody on the charge of riotous conduct and assaulting the police officers. They were charged in proper form, and then never insinuated that they had been assaulted by the present defendants. On behalf of the defendants, a host of witnesses were called, all members of the same division of police, with a view to show that the prosecutors were intoxicated, and that they had been concerned in a row at Dockhead, which was negatived by the witnesses for the prosecution.— Inspector Moore deposed that he was on duty at the station- house when the prosecutors were charged, and that they were then both intoxicated, and made no mention of having been assaulted by the defendants.— The Common Sergeant, in summing- up, said that this was one of the most remarkable cases he had ever had to try. The question involved was one of a very im- portant character, and he warned the jury to be cautious, as there was evidently strong partisanship, and it was perfectly clear that one party or the other had committed perjury.— The jury, after a very brief deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty, but at the same time coupled their verdict with a recommendation to rnercy on theground of the good character they had received ; and the jury also expressed an opinion that they thought the defendants had mistaken the prosecutors for other persons who had been con- cerned in a disturbance or riot at Dockhead.— The Common Ser- geant asked the police whether they had heard anything about the row at Dockhead, and they said there had been nothing of the kind; and then turning to the jury, the learned judge asked them whether they remained of the same opinion as to the defendants being mistaken as to the prosecutors being concerned in the riot.— The foreman of the jury said, that after the evidence they had heard they should alter their verdict, and simply find the defen- dants Guilty.— The Common Sergeant, in passing sentence, said the defendants had been guilty of a very serious offence, and in proportion as power was given to the police, the court was bound to pass a sentence commensurate upon any officer who abused the power placed in him. The power vested in the police placed the public very much at their mercy, and the act which they had committed was an exceedingly gross one. He always passed se- vere sentences upon those convicted of assaulting the police, and he should now pass a severe sentence upon police officers, and that sentence was that they be kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for the term of 18 calendar months. CHARGE AGAINST AN ATTORNEY.— A Jew attorney, who gave the name of Thomas George, but whose real name is Josephs, has been committed for trial from Bow- street, on a charge of inde- cently assaulting a young woman named Amelia Horton, who went to consult him on business, at his office IH James- street, Adelphi. The prisoner was admitted to bail, himself in £ 100 and two sureties in £ 50 each. OMNIBUS NURSING.— At Lambeth, on Thursday, a number of the drivers of the omnibuses travelling to and from the end of Beresford- street, Walworth- road, to different parts of the metropolis, attended before the Hon G. C. Norton to answer to summonses charging them with loitering and ob- struction. The summonses had been taken out by the police, and from the statement of Mr Inspector Dann, of the P divi- sion, it appeared that a short time since a new line of traffic had been formed by an omnibus proprietor from the end of Beres- ford- street to Kilburn Gate and back, and soon after a fierce opposition was got up by the General Omnibus Company, and a system of nursing adopted. At the starting- place each vehicle was obliged to take its proper time, so that two or three could not go off together, but the opposition and irregularity was kept up by the opposition vehicles being driven into the different streets in the neighbourhood, and as soon as one of the " regulars " started a signal was given, and two of the nursers came from these by- streets, and took their station one before and one behind it. A report of this dangerous practice was made to the Commis- sioners of Police, and the offending parties were cautioned, but the opposition was still kept up, and the summonses at present for hearing were in consequence taken up.— A solicitor who appeared on behalf of three or four of the defendants undertook if the summonses were withdrawn to pay a small sum to the poor- box, and to discontinue the practice complained of altogether.— Mr Norton said he had no objection to comply with the request on condition that the whole of the defendants consented not only to discontinue driving into the by- streets and causing obstructions, bat also to give up a practice so exceedingly dangerous to the public as that of " nursing." The system he considered not only highly dangerous to the public, but disreputable to the parties who resorted to it, and he felt perfectly satisfied the public would always be found to patronise those vehicles that were started, and continued to run for its convenience, in preference to those that were intended to run them off.— All the defendants expressed their willingness to comply with the terms proposed by his wor- ship, and the summonses were dismissed, Mr Norton at the same time declaring that if, after the promise, similar complaints were brought before him, he should impose the highest penalties. CRUEL FRAUD — At Worship- street, on Thursday, a gentleman called on Mr Leigh, and stated that his wife was very partial to rare birds, of which she had formed a large collection. A few days ago a young man called at his house and showed his wife two beautiful birds, with handsome tails about six inches long, and of a brilliant blue colour, which he said were very rare birds, brought with a good deal of trouble from the coast of South Africa. His wife scarcely liked to pay so much as was asked for therri; but, after some bargaining, the man consented to take a handsome singing canary and two avadavats, with 10s in cash, in exchange for his birds, the whole value which the lady gave being about 50s. The next morning, on going to examine them, appli- cant was vexed to find that one of the birds had died daring the night, and that the tails of both were false, having been cruelly stuck on the birds with sealing wax, but with so much ingenuity as to defy detection. He was convinced that, they were not foreign birds at all, but common English greenfinches ; and he wanted to know whether the magistrate would grant a warrant for the ap prehension of the guilty party.— Mr Leigh said he could not deal with the matter himself, and, under any circumstances, a convic- tion would be attended with difficulty ; but if the applicant were certain of the man, and he was in circumstances to pay the costs and expenses, he could sue him in the county court. Died, on the 12th inst, at. his residence, Lovely- lane, Warring, ton, Richard Harrison, Esq, aged 79 yeirs, a member of th Society of Friends, CRICKETERS' REGISTER.

The match was drawn after two days' excellent play. Mr Lane, for 12, played in his old form; he will be a great acquisition to his new county, Buckinghamshire. Mr Hornby for the Foresters was very free in his leg- hitting. The ground was almost too good for the bowlers, though most of them had a turn, His lady friends will be glad to hear that General Bounce is conva- lescent ; his appearance amongst his old comrades has been but seldom this season, and it was with great pleasure we saw him alight safely from a chaise and pair at Packington. This is really the last time of asking you, Mr Editor, to chronicle the doings of I Zingari in 1863— so good- bye, my revered Sunday (*) evening companion, and may your " Nunquam Dormio" eye never cease winking whilst a printer's devil requires licking, which is pretty nearly equivalent to eternity.— Yours, & c, TRISTEAM SHANDY.

Peaceck, who was for more than forty years a member of the Court of Common Council, and 26 years deputy of the Ward of Farringdon Without. Mr Peacock was a man of sound business habits, and has been connected with many of the most important movements in the City. MR MASON, THE CONFEDERATE COMMISSIONER.— The Index, the London organ of Mr Davis's Government, publishes the text of the letter in which Mr Mason announces his intention to leave England:— " 24, Upper Seymour- street, Portman- square, Sept 21, 1863.— My Lord: In a despatch from the Secretary of State of the Confederate States of America, dated 4th day of August last, and now just received, I am instructed to consider the mission which brought me to England as at an end, and I am directed to with- draw at once from this country. The reasons for terminating this mission are set forth in an extract from the despatch, which I have the honour to communicate herewith. The President be- lieves that' The Government of Her Majesty has determined to decline the overtures made through you for establishing, by treaty, friendly relations between the two Governments, and en- tertains no intention of receiving you as the accredited Minister of this Government near the British Court. Under these circum- stances. your continued residence in London is neither conducive to the interests nor consistent with the dignity of this Govern- ment; and the President therefore requests that you consider your mission at an end, and that you withdraw with your secretary from London.' Having made known to your lordship on my ar- rival here the character and purposes of the mission entrusted to me by my Government, I have deemed it due to courtesy thus to make known to the Government of Her Majesty its termination, and that I shall, as directed, at once withdraw from England — I have the honour to be your lordship's very obedient servant ( Signed) J. M. MASON.— The Right Hon Earl Russell, Her Ma- jesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.'' CLIFTON SUSPENSION BRIDGE.— The anchorage for one set of chains is now complete, and the work of hanging the links will be at once commenced, thus exhibiting a perceptible progress. The immense mass of brickwork, embedded in the solid rock, 11 feet wide, 8 feet thick, and 18 feet deep, which was necessary for the secure foundation of the chains, has taken a considerable time in preparation, the peculiar nature of the work being such that only a limited number of men could be employed upon it. The greater* portion of the chains has been thoroughly ova- hauled and repainted. The heavy pieces of iron composing the saddle plates have also been raised to the top of the piers and fixed in their places. To render the temporary platform more steady during high winds, guy- ropes have been attached to the portion overhanging the Avon, and firmly secured on each side of the river by bolts sunk some five feet into the rock. The weight, already on the piers is considerable, but when the permanent bridge is completed it is calculated that they will support a weight equal to 1,000 tons. Great hopes are entertained that the bridge may be pushed forward and completed by June next, in which month the meeting of the Bath and West of England Agricultural Society is to be held at Bristol, at which His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, who has accepted the office of patron, is expected to be present. If, however, the work should not be fiuished by that time, there is little reason to doubt that, it will be accomplished in September, 1864, in which month the British Association will as- semble at the neighbouring city of Bath, and the completion of the bridge— the foundation of which was laid by the Marquis of Northampton, a former president of the association, so far back as the year 1837, on the occasion of the visit of the Association to Bristol— might then be fitly inaugurated. THE MANSLAUGHTER AT HEDINGHAM — At Castle Hedingham, on Tuesday, Emma Smith, 36, and Samuel Stammers, 28, were placed before the magistrates, charged with having unlawfully assaulted an old Frenchman, called Dummy, on the night of the 3d of August, and thereby causing his death on the 4th inst The female prisoner is the wife of a beer- shop keeper in the village of Ridywell, about six miles from Hedingham, and Stammers is a master carpenter in a small way of business. It is a somewhat singular fact that nearly all of the 60 or 70 persons concerned in the outrage which resulted in the death of the deceased man were of the small tradesman class, and that none of the agricultural labourers were mixed up in the affair. The victim of this super- stition was a deaf and dumb Frenchman, who was about 80; some persons suppose him to have been about 86 years. Being unable to express himself clearly, he was accustomed to mike use of somewhat grotesque gestures, which were taken by the rustics generally as cabalistic and diabolical signs, and hewasconse- quently regarded for some time past with considerable awe. He lived alone in a wretched hut. Who the unfortunate Frenchman was or whence he came cannot now be ascertained. For the last seven or eight years he resided in 8ible Hedingham, and previous to t hat he lived at. Braintree. There is little doubt that he gained his living to a great extent by telling fortunes, if not by pre- tences to witchcraft. Some hundreds of scraps of paper were found by the police in his hut after his death, and upon most of these were written questions which neither in their style nor their subject matter say much for the enlightenment of the district. In the hovel were found besides between 400 and 500 walking- sticks, a quantity of umbrellas, some French books, a number of tin boxes, a hoard of foreign coins, chiefly of the French empire, and about, a ton of rubbish, which it was found impos- sible to classify in the inventory that was taken. The most defi- nite ideas about the man have been suggested by the following questions, which have been found written seriatim, on a scrap of paper—" Were you born at Paris? the name of the town where you were born? Where was your tongue cut out? le nomde votre villeV' The answers were no doubt made by signs. Evi- dence at great length was gone into confirmatory of the account previously given of the transaction, from which it appeared that on the 3d of August last the deceased was at the Swan Inn, Sible Hedingham, where between forty and fifty other persons were assembled. One of them, the prisoner 8mith, was present, and complaining of having been bewitched by the deceased, asked him to go home with her to take the spell off. He refused, and a disturbance took place; the old man was assaulted by several people, including the other prisoners ; was afterwards seized and thrown into a brook close by, dragged out, and carried to a mill sluice, where he was again ducked, and finally allowed to go home, where he subsequently died. The medical evidence showed that death resulted from the effects of the duckings. At the close of the examination the prisoners. were committed for trial. JUMPING FROM A TRAIN IN MOTION— As has already been re- ported, a gentleman on Friday, Sept 18th, met with a shocking accident at the Dudley Port Railway Station. The facts, so far as we have been able to ascertain them, are as follow :— The express train which starts from Liverpool at 5 p. m., and is due in Lon- don at 11: 10, was about 14 or 15 minutes late at Dudley Port When it did arrive, and while it was in motion, a porter " named Samuel Stanton observed the door of a second- class carriage open. He shouted, " Keep your seat!" several times, but almost in- stantly he saw a gentleman with a carpet bag get on the step of the carriage and jump on to the platform. Unfortunately he did not jump in the direction the train was moving, but in the opposite, and the result was he fell so close to the wheels of the train that be was caught by the step of one of the carriages and dragged underneath the train. The superintendent and porters ran to the spot, and assisted in extricating him from his dangerous position, but the wheels had passed over his feet and frightfully crushed them. Strange to say the sufferer never lost consciousness nor firmness, and he assisted the porters in their endeavours to lift him from the line on to the platform. It was then ascertained that the unfortunate gentleman was Mr Edward Russell, a mem- ber of the well- known firm of gas- tube makers, of Wednesbury and Walsall. He was removed to the Royal Oak. and it was de- cided by the medical gentlemen who were sent for that ampu- tation of the left foot must take place, and that a portion of the right foot must be taken off. Both operations were performed in a very short space of time, and it is gratifying to state that Mr Russell is going on favourably. Even those who saw the accident can scarcely describe exactly how Mr Russell received the injuries he has sustained. It is said that the wheels of one or two carriages must have passed over his feet; but if this was so, it seems won- derful they were not more severely crushed, if not quite severed. However this may be, it is one of those serious casualties which occur entirely through the fault of the sufferer. PANIC IN THE IRON TRADE.— A positive panic prevails through out the iron trade of South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire. It will be remembered that after a struggle with an important section of the workmen, who maintained a strike for 19 weeks, and at its close were more powerful than when they began the movement, the masters gave way, and advanced the wages of the puddlers Is a ton, or about 5s 6d a week, and the millmen and rollers and miners in proportion. At the same time the masters put up the price of iron 10s a ton, a rise that was not covered by the extra cost which resulted from the advance in the rate of wages. This alteration took place a month or five weeks ago, and it was understood that, at the regular Quarterly preliminary meeting which would be held in Birmingham on Thursday, a further rise in the price of iron of 10s a ton should be declared. It then became n » secret that so soon as this second advance should be declared the men would make another demand for a further rise. Immediately many buyers of iron in different parts of the country sent in specifications that had been long withheld, and others pressed orders upon the makers at the 10s rise, until every maker's books became full of orders, and they all refused to take another order at less than £ 1 advance. On Thursday the preliminary meetingcame offand a more nume- rous gathering has never been held, nor has there been one since the rail way mania at which there was more feverish excitement. No one member of the trade, however, could venture an opinion, when it commenced, what would be theresult of the deliberations that were about to be entered upon. But in a short time it was plain to all that the advocates of the rise of 10s. were in a minority and that, although they numbered men of gravity and long ex- perience among them, yet that these would give way before the more confident and impetuous ; and they did so, for a resolution was carried nem con, advancing prices £ 1 a ton, making with the rise of 10s a total rise in about six weeks of £ 1 10s. a ton; and that in a fortnight puddlers'wages should be advanced Is. a ton, millmen's 10 per cent., and the miners in proportion. Best Staf- fordshire bars are now therefore at the works £ 8 10s. a ton. Some of the men will now be receiving, the puddlers 10s 6d and certain of the millmen 12s 6d per week, more than they were getting before the strike. Sober men say the consumer will not buy at the rise; but the sanguine are sure they will. Rev C. I). Marsham, b Buchanan 4 Rev E. T. Drake, c Reay, b Bu- chanan 12 R.

Having but recently seen a letter addressed to you a few weeks ago by A. H. A. M., I beg to say that among Harrovians of the present day the match played in 18- 57 between Eton and Harrow is always considered a bond fide one, especially as a year's law was given to the Etonians, they playing men up to 21 years of age, while all those that contended for Harrow were under 20 The matches therefore now stand:— Eton 19, Harrow 17, « nd three drawn.— Yours, & c, Sept 24, GARENDON PARK v NOTTINGHAM AMATEUR CLUB.

MONDAY, SEPT21.— Whatever misgivings had been entertained as te the likelihood of the settling over the St Leger proving an unsatisfactory one, they were speedily dispelled to- day, for although Lord Clifden was certainly a bad horse for the majority of the bookmakers, they met all demands upon them with the utmost promptitude. The enormous attendance fully attested the mag- nitude of the monetary transactions on the Doncaster Meeting, $ Kd the absenee of all complaint on the gigantic " winding- up" speaks volumes in favour of the healthy state of the Ring. Apart from the settling there was little to occupy artention, although as the afternoon wore on the " indefatigables" made attempts to renew speculation on the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire. Ultimately several horses were nibbled at, but not for any large amounts, and the subjoined list of quotations must be taken for the most part as nominal. THUR3DAY, SEPT 24.— Unfavourable as the afternoon turned out, there was— for Thursday— a tolerable muster, and a few bets were made on the Cesarevritcli and Cambridgeshire. Anfield, for the first- named event, was nominally at 1- 5 to 1, and after 20 to 1 had been laid against Lioness, two points less were taken, while the first- named odds in connection with Lioness were " wanted" about Hurricane. Birdhill was very firm for the Cam- bridgeshire, and although ." early in the afternoon an even " monkey'' was wagered between him and Catch ' em Alive, the former left off much the better favourite, 1,000 to 70 being booked five times about him, while 100 to 6 was easily obtainable about " Catch ' em, The latter price was once or twice registered about Borealis, and a good deal of badinage • was indulged in about Baldwin, his " commissioner" offering to take 5,000 to 75 over and over again about him, although he de- clined to accept 5,000 to 80. The only bet made on the Derby was 32,000 to 200 about Coast Guard, CESARE WITCH. MONDAY An9eld Godding 100 to Hurricane J. Scott 20 to Lioness M. Dawson.... 20 to Jack o' Hearts .. ..

MARKET RASEN RACES.— This little Lincolnshire meeting stands for Monday, Sept 28. The cbesnu? colt by Rifleman ( own brother to Ross), sold at Sir Tatton Sykes's sale, does not go to Australia, but is now being broken to" harness.

Tragedian, 3 yrs, and Rattler, by Rattle out of Jujube, 2 yrs, were bost destroyed on Tuesday last," in consequence oi their being useless for racing purposes. • The Hereford Steeple Chases will take place the two days fol- lowing the Worcester Meeting, which commences on the 3d of November. We regret to state that Mr T. Stevens slipped while descending the steps in frant of the Crown Hotel at Tunbridge, and fractured his leg. KING'S LYNN RACES.— In consequence of the flourishing state © f the exchequer, this meeting will be again extended in 1864 to a second day. Some slight difference of opinion, however, prevails in the neighbourhood as to the desirability of this course. ESSEX.— Several matches between celebrated hunters are on the tapis in this county, and are to come off next month on Galley- wood Common. A sweepstakes, for which a large field of horses is expected, is also talked of. The Stewards of the Goodwood Meeting have selected a design, submitted by Messrs E. and E. Emanuel, of Portsmouth, to be manufactured by them as the Goodwood Cup for 1864. It is from the pencil of Mr W. E. Clarke, by whom it will be modelled, and the subject is taken from Shakspere's " Midsummer Night's Dream," and we have no doubt that both the manufacturers and artist will succeed in maintaining their well- established prestige. Messrs E. Emanuel have also just completed a pin likeness of Lord Clifden, engraved and coloured on crystal. The likeness is good, and it forms a very pretty souvenir of the Great St Leger of 1833. SPRING AND AUTUMN AT GODMERSHAM, AFTER THE DERBY AND LEGER. [ Lord St Vincent's country seat is at Godmersham, a little village between Canterbury and Ashford. On his return from Doncaster the villagers from the surrounding country waited from balf- past two until ten at night at the Chilham station to wel- come him home.] The people were sad at Godmershara, In the merry month of May, Though the birds did sing In the early spring, And all nature kept holiday ; For the news transpires Through the lightning wires That Lord Clifden had lost the day. The people were merry at Godmersham W hen the autumn leaves did fall, And nature began To look worn and wan, And to put on her russet pall; For the news transpires Through the lightning wires That Lord Clifden was first of all. W hat makes the people of Godmersham All so merry to- day ? It is not the speed Of the noble steed Who bore the prize away; But because they prove For his owner their love By being merry and gay. But still the people of Godmersham Do not worship a lord ; But they love to see Such a victory For the man who keeps his word. They care not for his titled birth, Nor yet for his gold or land, But they love the man of honest worth— The i* an with the open hand. Godmersham, Bept 24. THE MEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. The first of the three autumn meetings at head quarters com- mences on Tuesday next, and although it will be a particularly quiet one in comparison with Doncaster, there is plenty of sport provided for the four days, the programme having been so mate- rially improved of late years that the meeting is now almost as well worth assisting at as the Second October or Houghton. The Great Eastern and October Handicaps have become deservedly popular with owners of horses, if they do not take such high rank as the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire; and another great feature of the meeting consists of the heavy speculation that is certain to take place on these latter events. Those who will insist on dis- cussing and analysing the three year old doings of the pre- sent season will also have plenty of food for comment when the acceptances are declared on Tuesday for the " speculation" Free Handicap, framed with such care and judgment by the " Admiral," and which, if three should agree to subscribe— espe- cially Lord Clifden, Macaroni, and La Toucques— would provoke one of the most exciting contests of modern times. It is pro- posed for the Friday in the Second October week, the course selected being the Two Middle Miles, and as Lord Ciifden is fairly handicapped with Queen Bertha, Borealis, and Golden Fledge on their St Leger performances, and Macaroni with Queen Bertha on the Doncaster Cup running, the lot are entitled to accept if their owners have appetites for such a contest, while Tippler ( who receives 161b from Macaroni and Lord Clifden) could put extra life into the struggle. Anfield and Jack of Hearts are among the light weights, the former being in receipt of 2llb from the Derby and St Leger winners; but as the Cesarewitch is first de- cided we cannot form any idea what will be done with them, neither would the interest of the contest centre in the appearance of either at the post, supposing Lord Clifden, Macaroni, La Toucques, and Tippler to join issue. How ever, it is useless speculating about an event that is merely on the tapis for the present., as the owners of the twenty- five three year olds handicapped have not yet buund themselves to anything, and the production of the Admiral of the Turf that created such a sensation when last Monday's Calendar appeared, is merely an attempt on the part of a volunteer to bring about a settlement of the vexed question, " Which is the best horse of the year V As regards the First October Meeting, the programme of which we have to discuss, there are thirty- five items in the list for the four days, inclusive of five matches and sixteen plates and sweep- stakes that have yet to close; and the first day's card will be an especially heavy one, three matches and half- a- dozen public events of a more or less important character being already completed, while the three closing overnight are pretty certain not to fall to the ground, the Heatii for months past having afforded such good going that there - should be no lack of quadrupeds still " on their legs" to participate in the minor items at either of the autumn meetings. The Great Eastern Railway Handicap, on the T. Y. C. ( 5fur 140yds) will give the talents plenty to do to select the winner of, for some of the best speed of the day are comprised in the ninety- two engaged, of which Welland, Bohemia, Creole, Queer; of Trumps, Pravola, Gemma, Black Lily, Bicndella, Jackal, Le- ontes, Lady Abbess, Queen Elizabeth, Amazonian, Airedale, Po- land, the Calliope colt, and Fiancee all ran in the Portland Plate at Doncaster, and are, of course, handicapped to a nicety on their performances therein. The other events of the Doncaster meeting also brought out Lady Clifden, Man- at- Arms, Tattoo, Water- witch, Bertha, Drummer Boy, Tom Fool, Black Lily, Cairn- castle, Jarnicoton, Nevvchurch, Sauterelle, Stockinger, Barter, Littlecote, Zora, and Canzonette, and it cannot be said that their performances will recommend them. Still Lady Clifden did not run up to the form she displayed previously this season, and when meeting Creole on 131b better terms for hir defeat in the Stand Plate, there is a chance of her following in the footsteps of Cosmopolite, who won this event with her weight two years ago, unless they find something better at home in Queen of Trumps. Poland, too, is worth making another vesture with, as he was made first favourite for the Portland Plate on the strength of what he could do at home with Creole, who beat him in the actual race, and if to the trio above mentioned are added Fravola or Biondella, or anything superior to them Godding's stable might produce, with Bertha or GemmafromLord Stamford's team, and Summerside from Mr R. Ten Broeck's, we shall have given a list of all we dare recommend for such a scramble. The Hopeful Stakes is only a half- mile spin, and thus the penalties attaching to Fille de l'Air ( 9ib), Crytheia ( 61b), Olivia ( 31b), Breeze ( 31b), and Lady Hylda ( 31b) will not piace them on any great disadvantage witti their opponents, neither of which has attained sufficient notoriety in public or private for us to select a champion from them. The form of Fille de l'Air, up to the double defeat at Doncaster, would give her the best of the race, with all the weight, as she beat Scottish Chief, theconquerer of Crytheia at Newmarket, very easily at Goodwood, and Breeze ( sister to Wing) only beat the Phemy filly at Epsom after a good race, when in receipt of 21b, the latter having been many lengths behind Linda both at Goodwood and York. Besides, the Phemy filly had some litttle difficulty in beating King George at War- wick with 121b the best of the weights, and it is certain his Majesty is of no better class than the French filly. However, Breeze will appear second best on paper on account of having beaten the Phemy filly, whose defeat of The Clown at War- wick would make her more than a match for Lady Hylda, as Rigolboche was within a length of the latter at Goodwood, but several lengths behind The Clown at Brighton ; consequently, if there has not been sufficient time for Fille de l'Airto recover from the dressing she suffered in the Champagne at Doncaster, the prize may be placed to the credit of Baron Rothschild by the aid of Breeze. The Buckenham Stakes will provoke a good fight between the Phemy filly and the representative of Lord Portsmouth— proba- bly Becky Sharpe, as Hengist proved at Exeter he had not re- covered from the accident that befel him while en route to Lewes. If so, we must stand on the yellow jacket, as the Phemy filly's superior gameness may get her over the T. Y. C. better than Becky, who did not finish at all to our liking in her two races here at the July Meeting. The Croome Stakes, also on the T. Y. C., may not tempt Cambns- can, and we opine Durham is the best of the others over this dis- tance, for Olivia will probably prefer the Hopeful, and leave Practitioner to fight it out with the son of Lambton. The Grand Duke Michael Stakes is for three year olds, A. F., and as it is a p. p. subscription of 50 sovs each, Fantail may have several opponents, although she holds everything apparently safe, with the exception of Kemp Town, who takes a 51b allow- ance. and is presumed to be a most promising one at home. Should he be kept expressly for the Cesarewitch, Fantail will have a comparatively very easy task before her. In the Triennial for four year olds, D. I., over two miles, there would be enough excitement created if Hurricane and Bucken- ham met, as when they ran here eighteen months back the latter won by a head, and the result of the second encounter would dis- play whether Hurricane is entitled to be made second favourite for the Cesarewitch when giving her old opponent 71b. At any rate, she ought to beat him unless a great mistake has been made at Whitewall; and even if the uncertain Harlequin is substituted for Buckenham, the prize is still liableto fall a prey to Hurricane, who is booked a " good thing" at Malton for the Cesarewitch. As regards the three matches set for Tuesday, Tippler appears capableof giving Lord of Linne the year and 41b over the R. M.; and Asteroid is bound to beat Tim Wliifflerforthe Cup; butLittleSavage, although a winner, will find a difficulty in disposing of the " dark" Kromeski, unless he has greatly deceived his friends at home. On Wednesday there is the St Leger, D. I., with a baker's dezen of subscribers; and Early Purl is fortunate enough to have all the best of it, owing to the recent mishaps that removed Mogador and The Rariger from his path, the others engaged being very moderate. The Triennial for three year olds, A. F., rests between Tornado, Turcos, Early Purl, and perhaps Thalestris, the latter having ap- peared in public but once this season, when she was beaten off in the Oaks, which was very different form to that displayed at Newmarket last autumn, when she beat Lady Abbess, Canwell, Tisiphone, & c. She has accepted for both the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire, but has not yet been in the market, while Turcos is said to have done such a " good thing'' with Suburban that he is one of the cracks for the shorter race at 6st 71b; and if his party have not made a very great mistake, he ought to win this event, in despite of the respectable public form displayed by Early Purl and Tornado. The Granby Stakes is for two year olds, over the Criterion Course, arid with Linda, Fille de l'Air, and Durham, each penal- ised 71b, and Union Jack 41b, while Leicester has incurred no extras, there should be several at the post for the prize, unless Fille de l'Air should succeed in carrying off the Hopeful, in the event of which she would have the best of both Linda and Union Jack ; but supposing her to be defeated therein, it would be policy to put faith in Union Jack, as Linda's pretensions must be depreciated by the French filly's defeat. The two matches in the secsnd day's list are between platers only, and we must plead to a preference for Paddy O'Rourke over Liston, and for Peignoir over Attraction, for there is no hill to serve the latter, as at Lewes, and she has all the worst of the weights with Peignoir, who may not run such an arrant rogue in a single handed encounter. The Two Year Old Triennial is the only feature in Thursday's proceedings, and it would not create much stir unless the " dark" Forager, recently backed for some money to win next year's Derby, is among the competitors, when a bout with Baron Roths- child's Evelina or Tomato would display what there was in him. The appearance of Ely among the competitors would also give us abetter chance of judging which of his two Doncaster perform- ances is to be followed; but as he will probably be kept in reserve for the Criterion, we must declare for the selected of Baron Rothschild's two fillies, either of which can win, the form of Evelina, perhaps, being the best over a six furlong course. For the Rutland Stakes, Criterion Course, Claremont has a 41b penalty, which will not stand greatly in the way of his victory. On Friday there is a half rr ile Sweepstakes, with Midnight Mass the best in the field on paper, and yet he may find the task of giving 41b to nearly all his opponents somewhat too difficult, Llangollen being a two year old of some little promise, and one that must not be despised, after Midnight Mass's indifferent per- formance at Doncaster. A Sweepstakes for fillies is subject to the running of Fille de l'Air and Lady Hylda in the Hopeful, as they meet here at very nearly the same weights, the only important difference being that the distance is about a quarter of a mile further, which must suit the French filly. The October Handicap, A. F., is difficult to meddle with, in con- sequence of so many that are entered being also in the Cesare- witch or Cambridgeshire, and a great number backed for them besides, viz., Umpire, Exchequer, Carisbrook, Btickenham, Bird- hill, Catch ' em Alive, Limosina, Cairncastle, Jack of Hearts, Lioness, Oakapple, Royal Stag, Summerside, & c. We should be especially partial to a pair like Carisbrook and Buckenham in an encounter of this description : but too much depends on what may take place at the meeting during the three preceding days for it to be policy to attempt an analysis of the handicap, as stable intentions have also to be determined yet in many cases. For instance, Mr Naylor has no fewer than six candi- dates engaged, viz. Sawcutter, Carnival, Feu de Joie, Drummer Boy, Chere Amie, and Fitz- Eva; and which of these will do battle must depend upon circumstances. But we can venture to advance the opinion that the champion must be very near winning, when Fitz- Eva is among the turned- loose lot, for he is handicapped leniently enough to win, on his performance in the Great Ebor Handicap last year ( his last ap- pearance in public), and if his party can find a better represen- tative they will be very fortunate. Another of the Newmarket division leniently treated is Prince Plausible, 5 yrs, 7st 101b, who ran forward in first- rate company at Epsom and Ascot with 91b more weight in the saddle; and of the juveniles there is nothing better treated than Summerside. The Edinburgh and Lothians' Club and the Chesterfield Meet- ings, with some little fish at Whitehaven and Tenbury, form the remaining racing fixtures of the forthcoming week; and our friends over the Border have made up a respectable bill of fare, the principal handicaps— the Lothian and Buccleugh— having some good class horses accepting, including Lothians' King and Mr Merry's Knave and Casta," between whom they might be finally contested, as The Serf, Borealis, and Lioness have the Newmarket handicaps to attend to.

Stewards: The Earl ot Wilton, the Earl of Chesterfield, W. G. Craven, and E. Buckley, Esq?. Judge and Handicapper : Mr J. Swindells, jun. Starter : Mr W. Elliott. Clerk of the Course: Mr P. Draycott. The Radcliff'e meeting, like many others, Buffered through the number of fixtures this week, there being no fewer than fifteen. This was the first autumn meeting held here, and would other- wise, doubtless, have been very successful. As it was John Os- borne— one of the oldest supporters of Radclifie— tiad nothing entered, in consequence of his horses being engaged at Richmond. The added money was increased to several of the stakes, the Right Hon the Earl of Wilton, with his usual liberality, giving £ 5o to be run for. The card on the first day only contained four races, inconsequence of the All- aged Maiden Plate n > t having filled, viz: — The Philips'Handicap, the Chesterfield Cup, the All- aged Selling Stakes, and the Bury Plate. The course was very heavy, although it had been thoroughly drained, for therain poured down almost without ceasing the night before running, and continued all Monday morning, having a great effect on the attendance, al- though, all things considered, it was very good. Amongst the com- pany present were Lord and Lady Grey de Wilton and Lady Maty Craven, Lord Courtenay, Lord Andover, Hon Mr Egerton, and Colonel Forester. The opening event was the Philips' Han- dicap, for which three animals came to the post. East Lancashire was made the favourite, and liking the heavy- ground, won easily ; Charles Fox broke down twenty- lengths from home. The Chesterfield Cup succeeded, for which Change was made a great pot, but was beaten easily, the winner turning up in Donne Canne, with Golden Drop second. Tourist slipped and fell under the rails ; fortunately neither rider nor horse were injured. The Selling Race was won easily by Coronet, Marmion running very currish East Lancashire won the concluding race easily by half a length, ridden by J. Grimshaw, who scored his 64th winning mount this year up to this race. The rain commenced shortly atter the close of Monday's racing, and continued to pour down the whole of the night and following morning up to three o'clock, rendering the course one mass of mud. The racing was not of a very interesting nature. For the Craven Two Year Old Stakes Alice Leigh won all the way. The Grey de Wilton Cup was run at a cracking pace, considering the state of the course, and was won easily by Donne Canne. For the Bolton Plate Walloon, the favourite, ran very soft. The other events require no comment. The officials conducted the business in a creditable manner. MONDAY, SEPT 21.— The PHILIPS' HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, 3 ft, with 30 added; winners extra; one mile; 8 subs. Mr Rich's ch c East Lancashire, by Rataplan, 3 yrs, 6st 51b J.

Charles Fox jumped off with the lead, East Lancashire second, and The Cobbler third ; but when a hundred yards had been tra- versed, the latter took second place. No change occurred until reaching the half mile post, where Charles Fox rushed in front, and carried OH the running until nearing the distance, when East Lancashire took the lead, and won easily by a length and a half; four lengths between the second and third; Cnarles Fox broke down twenty lengths from home. The CHESTERFIELD CUP of 50 sovs, added to a Handicap of 5 sovs each, 3 ft; winners extra ; second saved his stake; once round ; 10 subs. Mr Barber's b c Donne Canne, by Neville, 4 yrs, 6st lulb E.

After two breaks away, the flag fell to an even start, Tourist having a neck the advantage over Golden Drop, Donne Canne lying next, and Change fourth, all well together. At the top turn Golden Drop took the lead, with Tourist second, but directly afterwards the latter slipped and fell under the rails, without injuring either himself or Taylor. Golden Di> p then in- creased his lead to about ten lengths, but, the pace beginning to tell, he gradually came back to the others, and round the bottom turn was only- two lengths in advance of Donne Canne, who at the half distance challenged the leader, and won, after a good race, by a length ; Change finishing the same distance behind the second ; Lord Dundreary, last throughout, a bad fourth.

Marmiori sprang off in advance, Coronet second, and Hartford Hill next, half a length off, but when a short dis- tance had been run the two year old took the lead and kept it for a few strides, but was immediately joined by Marmion and Coronet, and the three ran nearly abreast until near the quarter mile post, where Hartford Hill fell back beaten, and Coronet, going in front, was never afterwards headed, and won by a length; a very bad third. The winner was bought in for 52 guineas. The BURY PLATE ( Handicap) of 40 sovs; a winner of any race value 50 sovs after Sept 14, at 10 a. m., 71b, of two or 100 sovs lolb extra ; three quarters of a mile; 18 subs.

Tiiese positions were held until reaching the back of the course, when Tourist and Donne Canne were head and head, the pace being very good. After coming round the bottom turn Tourist was beaten, and Wynnstay made his effort at the distanoe, but was unable to get up, Donne Canne winning easily by three lengths; two lengths between the second and third. The BOLTON PLATE ( Handicap) of 40 sovs, for all ages; winners extra; about half a mile. Mr J. Anders's ch m Mousetrap, by Windhound, 5 yrs, 7st II. Taylor 1 Mr C. P.

Stewards: The Rigiit Hon the Earl of Zetland, the Right Hon the Earl Fitzwilliam, J. Cookson, and J. Johnstone, E? qs Judge: Mr R. Johnson, York. Starter: Mr Markwell Secretary and Clerk of the Course : Mr T. Craggs, of Stockton. Of late years Richmond has not exhibited so strong a list as on the present occasion, and never held out hopes of so go d a meet- ing. The weather, however, was wretched, and completely marred the prospects which had been held out, for the rain fell heavily throughout Tuesday, and kept away the pleasure- seekers. The North Eastern Railway Company ran special tra::;>. but they were scarcely so well patronised as on former occasions, the circumstances, however, the attendance was remarkably good, I and the Stands rt eeipts m > st satisfactory, and had the weather been more favourable it v, ould have been the best meeting ever held there. The heavy rain made the running ground " sticky." The sport opened with the Easby Stakes, for which Little Stag was made the favourite, but the winner of the Doncaster Nursery last week, for which victory he had to carry 71b extra to- day, won very easily by a length. Apennine, also a purchase from Mr Jaques, with odds on him, won the Sapling Stakes very easily. The Rich- mond Handicap produced a splendid race between Oldminster and Fanfaron, which ended in a dead heat. It will be seen by our return that Trump Queen, when going well, fell, and was afterwards destroyed. The " dead heat'' was run off after the Mem- bers' Plate, Oldmmster being made the favourite, but the heavy ground was against him, and the young one defeated him cle- verly by a neck, after a most interesting race. Lady Louisa, with the steadier of Sst 11 lb, won the Richmond Cup in a canter. Who's Who carried off the Licensed Victuallers' Stake, but the fund was unfortunate, as he did not realise a single shilling. Miss Armstrong was made the favourite for the Members' Plate, but Maid of the Mist defeated her by a neck, the old mare getting the best of a moderate start. The weather on the second day was very- little better than on the first, and the attendance not quite so good. Proceedings commenced with the Wright Stakes, odds being laid on Harvest Mel 1; but Saragossa, w ho has much im- proved since Stockton, defeated bim cleverly by a neck. Fan- faron, from his running in the Richmond Handicap on the first day, was made the favourite for the Burton Handicap, which Mr Watt's Newmarket won in a canter. Lady Louisa, who appears in great form just now, won the Zetland Piate right easily, carry- ing the steadier of 9st 31b. Caller Ou, who waited on Unfashion- able Beauty till within about a distance from home, won Her Majesty's Plate— which Is called " the alternate plate," being l- un at York and Richmond alternately— in a canter to- day, although the class of animals pitted against her was of a wretched character. Wisdom, not backed in the Ring, carried off the Volun- teer Rifle Corps Plate easily, and realised the small sum of 8gs to the race fund. The Belsay Castle Nursery brought a most suc- cessful meeting to a close, and produced the largest field of the meeting, thirteen youngsters appearing at the post, and afforded a good race with the first three, Kapunda, from her Doncaster running, being made the favourite, and she landed her backers cleverly by half a length. Great praise is due to Mr Craggs and the other officials for the satisfactory manner the business was conducted ; the only thing wanted was fine weather, to realise the hopes of the race committee and the most sanguine supporters of the Richmond Meeting, which is evidently increasing in interest every year. TUESDAY, SEPT 22.— The EASBY STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 20 added by the Earl of Zetland ; two year olds 7st, three 8st 121b; allowances and penalties ; about three quarters of a mile ( nearly straight) ; 7 subs.

Apen- nine led for about two hundred yards, when Claxton took up the running, with Revival and the favourite close up. In' this order they ran to the top of the hill, where Claxton was beaten • and Re- vival went on in advance, having Apennine and Gondola in close attendance. Gondola retired at the half distance, and . Apen- nine, depriving Revival of the lead at the same moment, won very easily by half a length ; four lengths between the second and third, and the same between the third and fourth. Siva tvas tailed off, and did not pnss the post.

No change" took place in the po- sitions of the leading horses until reaching the last turn, where Honest John ran out, and Trump Queen slipped up and fell. Pic- cador now went on with the running, followed by Fanfaron and the favourite to the distance, where Piccador wa's in trouble. Fanfaron then went on in advance, followed bv Oldminster, who challenged the young one within the distance, and a fine race home resulted in a dead heat. Piccador was beaten four lengths ; bad fourth. Trump Queen broke her shoulder, and was afterv- rds destroyed. DECIDING HEAT : 6 to 4 on Oldminster. The non- favourite made the running at a bad pace.

BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, SEPTEMBER 26, 1863. 5 UTTOXETER RACES. ( Over the Netherwood Course.) The above raoes have been ably again managed and carried out, giving every satisfaction to the subscribers and patrons, by the committee who have undertaken to re- establish them. The running was good, every race being well contested. Excursion trains ran from all the principal stations on the North Stafford lines, hundreds availing themselves of the opportunity. The usually quiet little town was literally crowded, and would doubt- less have been more so had not the weather proved so unfavourable as the time of starting drew near. Dove Bank and the principal roads to the course were almost impassable. The scene on the course was, as is generally the case, almost indescribable, and the gay colours of the fair sex were slightly damaged by the incessant showers. The Stand and booths were crowded to excess, many of their occupants expressing their surprise at finding so good and level a course, so unknown of late years to the sporting world. Some few were there who remembered well the good old times when that well- known sportsman the late Marquis of Waterford ran lord George and Sir John over this course against some of the best horses of the day.

Doubt, however, gradually improved his position, joined the leaders at the distance, and won easily. The TRADESMEN'S PLATE of 10s each, with 7 sovs added. Mr Holmes's Nancv, 7 vrs, lOst 71b W.

TUNBRIDGE RACES. ' ewards: The Earl of Westmoreland and Viscount St Vincent. Judge and Clerk of the Scales: Mr J. Manning. Starter: Mr M. Btarling, sen. Clerk of the Course and Handicapper: Mr J. F. Verrall. " When things are at the worst they will mend," is an old adage that would seem peculiarly adapted to " racing in Kent." For some time past the " sport of sports" has been at quite a low ebb in the garden county, many meetings that formerly flou- rished and enjoyed a " reputation and a name" having been numbered amongst the things^ that were. Of late, however, a strong disposition has been apparent amongst the men of Kent to restore in their county the old love for the national pastime, and amongst other revivals that of Tunbridge is assuredly not the least important. . After an interregnum of several years the meeting was last year restored to its place amongst the fixtures, and the success of the experiment was such as to warrant the entrepre- neurs in increasing the'' meet'' on the present occasion to two days. Of course there were many difficulties to be overcome, amongst which the " backwardness" of the local gentry in " coming for- ward'' with the sinews of war was perhaps the most formidable. The zeal, however, displayed by the committee was attended with sufficiently good results, and a tolerable amount of added money secured; although it is to be regretted that, in order to bring about this desirable result, it was found ne- cessary to enforce the always objectionable levy of " gate money." Excellent and legitimate arrangements were made by the promoters of the meeting to ensure its being carried out in a thoroughly business- like manner. To Mr J. F. Verrall were entrusted the onerous duties of clerk of the course and han- dicapper, and the closeness of the contests throughout the meeting abundantly testify to his success in the latter capacity. Mr James Manning officiated as judge and clerk of the scales, and under his auspices the different events were brought, off with the utmost punctuality. The Hampton Court Stand afforded excel- lent accommodation for the large assemblage that patronised the enclosure. The only " hitch'' that interfered with the arrange- ments was the non arrival on the first day of the telegraph for numbers and jockeys' names, which was forwarded also from Hampton, but which, owing to some delay on the railway, did not arrive until too late for use. Otherwise on Tuesday there was every indication of a most successful gathering. Trains from the metropolis and from the surrounding districts brought in vast quantities of pleasure seekers, and accommodation in the little town soon became at a premium. The number of horses arrived, too, was more than respectable, and the weather throughout was most enjoyable. As might have been expected, however, taking the vast quantity of racing elsewhere into consideration, to say nothing of the attractions offered by the " birds," the company though numerous was far from influential or select, the " gentle- men" element being almost entirely " conspicuous by itsabsence," and but few legitimate members of the King present. The sport throughout the two days was excellent, the different events being in many instances productive of close and exciting contests. The first event of the meeting— the Tunbridge Wells Stakes— for which the top weight, Gibraltar, was the only absentee of those coloured en the card, fell to an outsider in Devotee. The Two Year Old Stakes, for which five out of the ten subscribers started, likewise resulted in the defeat, of the favourite, Faith, who was beaten by Wild Huntress by a neck, both carrying a 71b penalty. The Medway Stakes resulted in a walk over for the for- feits for Irene, the rider of whom was subjected to unmerciful chaff before and during his journey, and evinced his inexperience by suffering himself to be " kidded" to ride two miles instead of one. The Tunbridge Handicap resulted in a magnificent race between the first three, the favourite, Detective, only win- ning by a " short" head, and the other two running a dead heat for second honours. The public had no reason to complain of want of excitement, for the succeeding event— the Seven Oaks Stakes— was contested three times before finally awarded to Measure for Measure, who twice ran a dead heat with Rosa Lee. Unfortunately, the " third time of asking" resulted in a catastrophe, as Kosa Lee ran against, a post and threw Morris heavily. It was at first feared that he was seriously hurt; fortunately, however, although badly cut about the head and much shaken, it was soon discovered that no bones were broken, and that no serious result need be apprehended. The winner was bought in for 41 guineas, and Rosa Lee, who was sent to Tunbridge to be sold, win or lose, for wnat she would fetch, was bought by Mi Burbidge for 26 guineas. There was a weary wait at the post for the Ladies' Plate, Rest, the subsequent winner, evincing a most decided objection to join company with the seven opposed to her, causing many breakings away. When the flag did fall to a bad start Mr Baker's filly showed her con sistency by keeping clear of the others all the way, and winning easily by a length. On Wednesday the weather was most delightful, the beautiful country between Tunbridge and " the ' Wells" being seen to great advantage in the glittering sunlight by those who filled up the time before commencing in exploring its beauties. Just before the time for adjourning to the course a sad accident befel Mr T. Stevens, the well- known trainer. While descending the well- worn steps of the Crown he slipped up and fractured his leg badly. It will be re- collected that Mr Stevens has only just begun to recover from the effects of a former accident of a similar nature, and universal sympathy was excited by his misfortune. The little race course was again crowded, the attendance both within and without the enclosure being much on a par both as regards quantity and quality with that of the first day. The arrival of the convenient Hampton telegraph materially facilitated the business, which was again got through with commendable punctuality. Lady Derby, the favourite for the South Eastern Plate, never showed in the race, which fell to Mr Marsh's Margery— not backed for a shilling. Gibraltar compensated his owner for his defeat of the previous day by easily winning the Mid- Kent Stakes. Fletton, a " hot" favourite for the succeeding Handicap Sweepstakes, walked in for that event. Bight of the ten coloured were sent to the post for the Nursery Plate, Mysterious Lady being installed the favourite, and Stainley also supported at a shade longer odds. Stainley ran out the turn but one before entering the straight, and left the favourite in front. if; the last turn, however, she, strangely enough, also ran , & thus enabling Stainley to make up lost ground, and stall off Elise, who had been left with the lead, by three parts of a length at the finish. Notwithstanding their " towelling" the day before, both Measure for Measure and Rosa Lee, the'latter sporting her new colours, were brought out for the Selling Stakes. Neither, how- ever, were fancied in the ring, the cognoscenti probably being of opinion that both had had enough on the Tuesday. Pyrrha was, therefore, installed favourite, but the " double dead- heaters" again finished in front, Measure for Measure confirming her pre. vious victory by again defeating Mr Burbidge's new acquisition. The sale of the winner realised a handsome sum for the fund. The Volunteer Cup, which terminated an agreeable meeting, proved the foregone conclusion it was looked upon for Michel Grove. Owing to the absence of the " upper ten," there was absolutely no speculation on either of the Newmarket events, and the actual betting on the different events during the meeting was far from extensive. TUESDAY, SEPT 22.— The TUNBRIDGEWELLSSTAKES( Handicap) of 3 sovs each, with 25 added, for all ages; winners extra; about one mile ; 9 subs. Mr Morley's Devotee, by Mountain Deer, 3 yrs, 6st 41b.

In this order they ran past the 8tand to the three- quarter mile post, where Baliverne increased his lead, and Rapture went up to Devotee, racing with him along the far side until within half a mile from home, where Mr Marsh's colt was beaten, and Rubini went on third, the race, however, being left to Baliverne and Devotee, the former of wh ® m was collared before reaching the Stand and cleverly defeated by a neck; two lengths between the second and third; Fletton and Deerfoot were next, close together, the last two being Rapture and Knight Templar.

Searle 4 Betting: 7 to 4 agst Detective, 5 to 2 each agst Lavender and Gibraltar, and 5 to 1 agst Spitfire Kitty. Gibraltar led at a very slow pace, followed by Lavender and Detective, Spitfire Kitty last. In this order they ran close together past the Stand the first time, Gibraltar increasing his lead before rounding the turn. Entering the far side Detective took second place, and went up to Gibraltar, leading slightly on the far side, but before entering the straight the old horse resumed the command, Detective again giving way to Lavender while passing the Stand the second time. Gibraltar retained the lead until within half a mile from home, where he was beaten, and a splendid race ensued between the other three, the favourite winning by a short, head, and the judge being unable to separate Lavender and Spitfire Kitty gave a dead heat for second place; Gibraltar pulling up was a bad fourth. The SEVENOAKS STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 30 added, for all ages; optional selling weights; five furlongs; 3 subs, t Mr Marsh's Measure for Measure, by Fandango, 2 yrs, 6st lib ( 40 SOTS) Mordau t t 1 Mr G.

DECIDING HEAT : Betting— 6 to 5 on Measure for Measure. The non favourite made play to the turn, where she ran against a post and threw her rider, who was severely shaken and cut about the head and face, Rosa Lee coming in riderless with Measure for Measure. The winner was bought in for 41gs, and Rosa Lee was subsequently sold to Mr Burbidge for 26gs. The LADIES' PLATE ( Handicap) or 40 sovs, for all ages; winners extra; half a mile. Mr W. W.

There was a long and vexatious delay at the post, Rest declining to join her horses, and breaking away eventually, Southport being almost always also prominently in front in the numerous false starts. When the flag fell, Rest had the best of the start, and, followed by Stainley, was in front throughout, winning easily by a length; a length and a half between the second and third, Southport was fourth, Vigil next, the others being whipped in by Maubourquet. The starter reported Reeves after the race for insubordination, and in the absence of the Stewards he was on the following day reprimanded by the Clerk of the Course. WEDNESDAY.— The SOUTH EASTERN PLATE ( Handicap) of 50 sovs ; for all age3; three quarters of a mile. Mr Marsh's Margery, by Wild Dayrell, 4 yrs, 7st 71b ..

Stewards: Capt Pott and Capt Blake. Judge: Mr J. Swindells, jun. Starter: MrW. Elliott. Clerk of the Course : Mr J. Sheldon. Last year, in consequence of the distress in Walsall and the immediate neighbourhood, no race meeting was held here, and although the list issued by the indefatigable Clerk of the Course on the present occasion was better than any previous one, the few horses that arrived ( owing to so many of them being run through), caused the fields to be very small for each event. If the meeting was deficient in horses, however, it drew a much larger attend- ance than was ever known here, for it was estimated there were 20, u00 peple present. The All- aged Maiden Plate not having filled reduced the events to be decided to four. For the Trial Stakes only two faced the Starter, resulting, after one of the finest races ever seen, in Sir Watkin's favour by a head. Middlewatck won the Tradesmen's Plate ina. canter, the same remark applying to Jacob for the Member's Plate. The Two Year Old Stakes was won, after a good race, by the gelding by Teddington out of Jessie, by a length. At the close of Wednesday's running, Mr bheidon received a letter from Messrs Weatherby, stating that Portland and Pony were scratched on Tuesday to them for their engagements on the first day at Walsall; the horses had run for their various races, through neither the Clerk of t he Course nor the trainer being aware of this. The matter will be left to Admiral Rous to decide upon. The card showed much better sport than on the first day, comprising six events. For the Hurdle Race, Jacob made most of the running, and won very easily by a length. The Nursery resulted, alter a splendid race with the two favourites, in a dead heat. The Bradford Handicap was won easily by Tourist, Golden Drop second. The Selling Race was won in a canter by Wyrley. The Scurry Stakes was won by an outsider, London, not backed by his party for a shilling; and Highland Mary won the deciding heat after a fine race, by half a length.

Stewards : Lord W. Powlett, Lord Hastings, Sir E. H. K. Lacon, Bart., M P.; Hon Lieut- Col Coke, M. P.; Edward Howes, Esq, M. P. ; and Colonel Shafto Adair. Judge: Mr J. F. Clark. Starter : Mr S. Clark. The Yarmouth race committee may fairly congratulate them- selves on the success of their venture, taking into consideration that more than a dozen other meetings were working way in the same week ; for however famous the county of Norfolk may be in history for its naval heroes and statesmen, there' are no historical or present clay indications of its great worship of the English pastime of horse racing, distance always lending its difficulties in the obtaining sufficient horses to make a good meeting here. It is intended, however, next year to make some exertions to add some additional races to the programme, and to induce, if possible, race owners to send more horses. The course was in excellent order, and well covered with herbage. The Newmarket stables were the principal patrons of the meeting, carrying off every prize.

Judge: R. Watkins, Esq. Clerk of the Course: G. Hobgen. THURSDAY, SEPT 24.— This pretty little meeting was held on Thursday last, on Salvington Hills, about three miles from Worthing, and close to W. Goater's training quarters at Findon, These races were formerly run on the Sands, but to give general satisfaction to owners of horses a much better spot ( as above stated) was selected by the race committee. The weather was very unfavourable for the amusements, for the rain came down in torrents immediately after business commenced, but as the ma- jority of the spectators had started previous to the commencement of the rain the attendance was large, although not so numerous as when the sports came off on the Sands last year; but the racing was very interesting, and several of the eventscaused much excitement from their close contests. There were five races on the card, the first being theTrial Selling Plate, which produced five runners; and Verbena, 2 yrs, being among them ( entered to be sold for 20 sovs) was, of course, made a great favourite, but she was in trouble all the way, and finished last. The Salvington Stakes, for two year olds, had but three entries, all of whom came to the post. Lady Nichol was the selected one by the talent, but the winner turned up in Retainer, a very good- looking son of Neville, who ran very gamely indeed. The Worthing Cup attracted ten runners to the scratch, and it was carried off by Lurline, a very useful- looking animal, with a good turn of speed. The Worthing Stakes pro- duced four competitors, and Real Jam was made a hot favourite, but she ran very unkindly throughout, and Margery ( a cast off from A. Taylor's stable) won easily. The Visitors' Plate having been carried off by Mr B. Land's Nancy, the sports, which appeared to give general satisfaction to all concerned, were con- cluded before five © ' clock. The TRIAL STAKES of 3 sovs each, with 15 added, for all ages; selling weight allowances, & c ; five furlongs ; 6 subs. Mr Elphick's b f Miss Nightingale, by Adamas, 2 yrs, 5st 71b ( 20 sovs) G.

The latter made play, with Miss Nightingale and Sherborne in close attendance ; the favourite, who got badly off, several lengths in the rear. When about half the distance had been traversed Sherborne and Miss Nightingale came on in front nearly abreast, and after a fine race they ran a dead heat, Peru being a bad third. DECIDING HEAT.— 6 to 4 on Miss Nightingale. The non- favourite made the running to the distance, when Miss Nightingale went up to him. A fine race home ensued, the latter winning by three parts of a length. The winner was sold to Captain Erskine for 50gs.

Brooks. Lessees of the Course : Messrs Warner and Botting. The third anniversary of the Hendon races took place on Thurs- day and Friday, the 24th and 25th inst, and taking into con- sideration the continued downfall of rain on Thursday, the inde- fatigable proprietor of the Welsh Harp ( over whose ground the racing takes place) was deservedly patronised by numbers of the Turfites of the metropolitan district. The course was heavy going, owing to the damp state of the weather, and the numerous dis- putes which invariably take place at minor meetings were amica- bly settled, with the exception of the sale of Princess, the winner of the Warner Stakes, who was knocked down to Mr Fuller for 48gs, the auctioneer not being aware of the owner bidding the same amount, and as the latter still retains possession of the animal, the stakes remain in abeyance. An agreeable change in the weather having taken place on Fri- day caused a number of pleasure- seekers to avail themselves of a day in the salubrious atmosphere of the Welsh Harp. The racing of this day calls for no comment, being merely attended with til trivial disputes which generally distinguish suburban meetings.

CANTERBURY RACES. Stewards: Marquis of Conyngham, Marquis of Hastings, Major Dickson, Major Withington, Viscount Sydnev, Mr H. Butler Johnstone, M. P. ; the Mayor of Canterbury, " and Mr Francis Philips. Judge and Clerk of the Scales:' Mr J. F. Verrall. Clerk of the Course: MrC. W. Howard. Although of late years materially shorn of its fair proportions, enough vitality still exists in the Canterbury gathering to ensure on Barham Downs annually a fair day's sport. On Friday a more than average card, together with most delightful and genial weather, combined to attract to the course an unusually large number of spectators, the coloured competitors for the Queen's " guineas" being alone sufficient to cause great interest and excitement. Although the fields for the different events were but small, the racing was of considerable interest, and the attend- ance of a fair sprinkling of delegates from the London divi- sion imparted some briskness to speculation. Only three started for the City Plate, the favourite of which, Flying Spur, sustained defeat by Fletton after a spirited encounter by a neck. For the East Kent Handicap likewise only a trio of the coloured eleven put in an appearance, odds being laid on Michel Grove, with Fordham up, on the strength of his victory at Tunbridge under the same pilotage. Little Dick, however, about whom as much as 5 to 1 went begging, had no difficulty in pulling the fielders through, winning easily by half a dozen lengths. For the Bridge Plate Baliverne and Lavender, who ran second and third to Gibraltar at Tunbridge, fought their battle over again, Mr Burbidge's horse, who had the call of the mare, although on this occasion having the worst of the weights, winning easily. Little Dick scored his second victory, winning the Military S'takes without an effort. The great event of the day was undoubtedly the Queen's Plate, and on the num- bers of Caller On and Zetland being exhibited, the excitement be- came intense. Of course the race was looked upon as lying be- tween these two '• cracks," and Mr I'Anson's mare was installed the favourite, with odds on her, Zetland, however, meeting with plenty of support at 5 to 2. The result was utterly unexpected, although previous to the race misgivings were entertained by the partisans of Caller Ou, owing to her jaded and stale appearance. She was never at all prominently in the race, which fell to old Gibraltar, who disposed of Lord St Vincent's horse easily by a length. The last race, the Barham Downs Stakes, brought out a large field, and was another turn up for the fielders, the favourite, Peru, being beaten, when nearly home, when a fine raceensued between Eudora and Physician ; won by the former by a head. FRIDAY.— The CITY PLATE ( Welter Handicap) of 50 sovs; winners extra; gentlemen riders; professionals 71b extra; about one mile and a half.

Lavender made the running, waited upon by the favourite until halfway down the hill, when Baliverne came out and ran home an easy winner by three lengths, Lavender beating Blanche of Lancaster for second by half a length. The MILITARY STAKES of 3 sovs each, with 25 added; list 71b each; one mile and a half; 8 subs. Capt Shaw's Little Dick, by Etbelbert, aged, list 71b T.

Baliverne led, followed by Gibraltar and Zetland, Margery next, and Caller Ou last. Baliverne maintained a long lead for the first mile, with Zetland and Gibraltar next, lying together Lord St Vineent's horse taking up the running on the retirement? of the leader. Rising the hill, Gibraltar went up to Zetland, and before reaching the Stand the old horse went to the front and won easily by a length; the favourite a very bad third, Baliverne beating Margery by a head for fourth place. The BARHAM DOWNS ( Optional Selling) STAKES of 3 sovs each, with 25 added, for all ages ; round mile. Mr J.

Copeland, Esq, M. P. ; and R. C. Naylor, Esq. Judge: Mr R. Johnson, York. Clerk of the Course: Mr J. Bake. Starter : Mr M'George. FRIDAY, SEPT 25.— The list issued for the two days' sport was scarcely equal to last year, but this might probably be owing to the large demand this week upon horseflesh, there being no less than fifteen " fixtures," together with the Newmarket meetings looming in the distance, and causing many horses to be kept in reserve for the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire. The card was not of a very interesting description, but under all the circum- stances the attendance was large. The ground was in good order, with the exception of the back of the course, which was rather holding. The Grand Stand was most liberally patronised by the regular frequenters of this meeting, and the weather was all that could be desired. The Trafford Handicap was won by Charming Woman in a canter. Greenland carried off the Chesterfield Handicap very easily. For the Wilton Handicap, the principal race of the day, only two starters went to the post— the com- mittee, however, deciding to give the whole of the added money. The pair met at Richmond on Tuesday last and ran a dead heat, but Fanfaron ivon the " who shall," after a fine race. Oldinin- ster, to- day, met his antagonist on 41b better terms, which many good judges thought would turn the scale, and therefore the heavy weight was made the favourite. The race was run at a terrific pace, both racing together head and head throughout, the young one winning by a short head one of the best races ever witnessed. Walloon carried off the Salford Handicap, and the Maiden Plate brought the day's sport to a close, Claxton winning easily, making the third main for John Osborne's stable during the atternoon. Below will be found full particulars: — The TRAFFORD HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, with 50 added, for all ages; winners extra; the second received 10 sovs out of the stakes; one mile; 12 subs. Mr T.

Covey 0 Betting: 6 to 4 agst Greenland, 7 to 4 agst Alice Leigh, and 5 to 1 agst any other. There was a considerable delay, caused by the restiveness of the Neville filly, who was left at the post when the flag fell. Greenland jumped off with the lead, but was soon passed by Mystery, the favourite going on second, and Alice Leigh last. They ran thus to the half mile post, where Greenland again deprived Mystery of the lead ; Alice Leigh ran into the second place on entering the straight, but was unable to reaoh the favourite, who won in a canter by two lengths; the same between second and third; bad fourth. The WILTON HANDICAP of 100 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 10 sovs each, h ft, and 3 only if declared, for three year olds and upwards ; winners extra; the second saved his stake; one mile and three quarters; 14 subs, 4 of whom paid 3 sovs each.

The pair ran head and head from start to finish ; the young one, however, got the best of the favourite half way up the distance, and won a splendid race by a short head. The pace was very severe throughout. The SALFORD PLATE ( Handicap) of 60 sovs, for all ages; winners extra ; three quarters of a mile. Mr C. P.

In this order they ran to the half mile post, where Orphan took up the running, but before reaching the last turn the favourite deprived her of the lead, was never afterwards caught, and won in a canter by a length; bad third. LITTLEHAMPTON RACES. FRIDAY, SEPT 25.— These races took place on Friday last on Littlehampton Common, close to the sea beach, where an excel- lent course was formed. The weather was remarkably fine and warm, and owing to the regatta having been held on the same morning, the attendance was very large, consisting principally of holiday folks from the surrounding districts. The sports, which were of a " flapping" description, caused lots of amusement, and gave general satisfaction to the assembled throng. The stewards and the committee worked well together, and Mr Butt, the secre- tary, appeared to be in the right place. The " rules," however, by another year must be put in" better form." A HURDLE RACE, with 15gs added; weight for age; heats, about a mile. Mr C. Martin's b g Bravo, by Winter, 5 yrs, lOst 71b C. Martin 1 1 Mr Fitzpatrick's b m Annette, aged, list 71b ..

There was 110 change in the posi- tion stated until they had run half a mile, when King Tom went up to Lurline, and the pair ran an exciting race home, King Tom winning by three quarters of a length. The winner was objected to for not having been entered in sufficient time, and also for having been described as five years old instead of six.

Thence they raced up the ropes fairly together, still led by Agnes; Miss Arthur, Fairy King, Triangle, Brunette, Flyfisher, and Topthorn being all in close company with the leader, who took thefenceabove the Stand beautifully, the others bounding over it well likewise, except Brunette, who hurt herself in the stifle, and her pilot at once jumped off, and gave up the chase. i Meanwhile the race was carried on with slight change to the lower side of the course, where it was apparentthat Rockfield, Mountain Boy, Verena, and Red Roe were outpaced, and had no chance of winning. At the fourth fence from home Topthorn rolled over when going well, and from thence all having a chance were Fairy King, Triangle, Miss Arthur, Flyfisher, and Agnes, who held her lead gallantly over the water cut, the last obstacle, but in the run up was defeated by Flyfisher by three lengths, after running with great gameness throughout.

( FROM OUR OWN COEEESPONDENT.) If it is true that certain events are fated against, it wonld appear that the Emperor's Prize at Chantilly has fallen under the ban of some inauspicious deity, for instead of the brilliant scenes that nearly always characterise the Derby and Oak3 reunions> when a clear blue sky and sunshine are wont to lend their assist- ance in adding to the effect of the magnificent display of colour that is presented by the toilettes on the Stands, the Emperor's Prize Day has for the last three years been rendered unpleasantly remarkable by regular wet weather, and last Sunday was, if any- thing, an extreme to the general rule, for, from an early hour, torrents of rain commenced to fall, and there was not the slightest appearance of a break in the elements throughout the day ; con- sequently there was a very small attendance, it being merely confined to the regular habitues of the metropolitan reunions. The running ground, which has lately been as hard as a brick floor, and for the previous week had been the special object of attention to Count d'Hedouville, who employed no end of water carts to get it in moist condition, was rendered by this sudden deluge soft enough to serve the greatest reveller through mud, and in many places very heavy. To enable the Parisians to return by the express at half- past four, the races were set to com- mence at half- past one, and punctually at that hour the three competitors were ready for their two mile and a half journey for the Prix des Haras, namely, Btradella, Benjamin and Yapeur, the last mentioned having the call in the betting, on account of her receiving all the allowances, whilst Stradella had all the penalties, and these added together placed them at a difference of 171b, which, however, did not prevent the latter gaining a very easy victory, and if one could be certain that Vapeur is now in the same form as she was in at Boulogne when she defeated Gabrielle d'Estrees and Choisy le Boy, and was a good second to Panique in the Prix Imperial, t his performance on the part of the black one would not be a bad one. She will, however, have a better opportunity of showing her real preten- sions over a distance in the Grand Prix de l'Empereur of 20,000f, over four miles, on the last day of Paris races, when she will pro- bably meet Orphelin, and for this event we are told she is going to be kept. Thirteen youngsters were brought out for the Premier Criterium, of which all belonged to the dark division, excepting Emissaire, Courtisan, Garde a Vous, and Comme- sa ; but a hot favourite was furnished from the Duke de Moray's stable in Rembrandt, who had been tried on rather extravagant terms with Dinorah, and if the result was the same as it was reported to be, our only wonder is that he did not now gain a much easier victory. He is, notwithstanding, a good looking colt, and carries a good deal of the Dutchman's character about him, though he is on rather a small scale, and as such he is to our eye a trifle too level for his age, when looking towards the future for improvement, but his style of finishing, though he did not win very far, quite gives one the idea that he will be a game one. Comme- cahas performed in England, and he also ran at Moulms in the two year old stake, and also in the mile race for twos and upwards, in which Jonathas and Grande Dame ran a dead heat, and both gave him heaps of weight; he is, however, a very neat- looking one, with a cleaner neck and shoulders than we have ever seen in a Collingwood before, so that, from his appearance and his present performance, it will not surprise us if he turns out very useful to the Confederacy. Of the others we liked Mirliton, by the Flying Dutchman out of Barbleu's dam, for, although a trifle coarse, like most of Millwood's produce, he possesses a deal of strength and power, and is a good mover. He never figured in the race, how- ever, for he got a very bad scart, and a big horse like he is will be seen to greater advantage after he has had a longer preparation. Nepto, by Festival, i3 a strong, fine- looking colt, but we were rather disappointed in Nocturne, by the Flying Dutchman out of Serenade, lor when Mons Lupin purchased him of Mons Mossel- man as a foal, he promised to grow up very perfect, instead of which he does not appear to have length enough, and he is not so bloodlike nor so good a goer as several of the Serenades we have seen. Blanchette looked a very goad thing on paper for the Selling Plate, and odds were laid on her for it accordingly, the good thing coming off too, easily enough, for the real selling platers pitted against her could never actually extend the victress of Gabrielle d'Estrees, so it was not singular that she was claimed for a tolerable consideration above the stipulated price, her sale altogether adding 2,5u0f to the fund. Fourteen fillies were brought out for the Second Criterium, and this also was carried oft' by the favourite, Mdlle Duchenois, who ran third in the Biennial at Ascot, and was also third to Dinorah in the Two year Old Sweepstake at Chantilly last spring, though now this runniug was reversed, which may be accounted for by Prince de Beauvau's Ally being in much better fettle now than she was then. They are both, however, in the same stable, as the Duke de Moray allows Jen- nings to train for his old master, the Prince. It is a great feather in the cap of the Nabob for his three daughters to run first, second, and third in this race, and we may here mention that Mons Schickler's stallion ranks second " only to the Dutchman in favour with French breeders. Of the fillies behind the three placed there seemed very little quality, being commoner looking as a lot than the colts, though we are quite sure that neither divi- sion can be taken as fair samples of the two year old form that could be exhibited from Chantilly ; as, to judge from the appear- ance of several that are now in training here, we shall expect to see some very superior fliers brought out for the big events next year. The wonderful form that La Toucques exhibited at Baden pro- mised to frighten away nearly everything that was entered for the Emperor's Prize, so that those who had taken long odds against the field were quite elated to find that as many as six were bold enough to put in an appearance against the crack; but never- theless La Toucques's friends were very liberal with their odds of 5 to 1 on her, and well they might have been, for from start to finish the race was never in doubt, and to see her pass the post, pullingso hard that Doyle could hardly hold her, whilst Flibustier, who came in second, was so dead beat that he could hardly get one leg before the other, was the most ridiculous contrast we have ever seen. French Turfites now quite agree that La Toucques is the best animal that has ever been bred in France, bar none, not even their favourite Monarque ; and Admiral Rous certainly did not overtask her when he put 8st on her for the Cesarewitch, for had she stood we should most assuredly have advised our readers to have reposed their confidence in her. As it is, however, we have nothing to recommend from the French division for that race or for the Cambridgeshire, excepting for the latter race we might mention that Cantonnade is remarkably well in at 5st, though at present she is under a cloud, which can be only cleared away by her performance in the Omnium next Sunday week, in which she is also very well in ; and Grande Dame has also nothing to complain of at 6st, though as she was only able to run a dead heat with Jonathas at 171b we cannot quite fancy her for Newmarket; yet of all the events that one could speculate on we know of none that would give more general satisfaction amongst French racing circles than to see her carry off the Cambridgeshire. SUNDAY, SEPT 20.— PRIX DES HARAS of 4,000f, for four year olds; entrance 200f, hft; 1151b each; any horse having run three times during the season without winning allowed 71b, and the winner of the French Derby, a first or second- class Government prize, or a stake worth 100 sovs in England, to carry 71b, or of two such stakes 101b extra; two miles four furlongs; 11 subs.

Stradella was first off, with Vapeur lying second, and Benjamin in the rear, and this order was maintained at a steady pace for about three parts of a mile, when Vapeur drew up, and, taking the lead, increased the pace, being now closely pursued by Benjamin, whilst Stradella lay off. Benjamin was beaten before they reached the stables for the second lime, leaving Vapeur with a clear lead, although it was now plainly apparent that she only held it on sufferance, for Spreoty had to keep on reminding her with the prickers, whilst Stradella waited on her quite at her ease to the hill, when she went up to her girths, and coming away at the White House, ran home the winner just as she liked by about a couple of lengths; very bad third.

After two failures, the lot were despatched to a somewhat straggling start, Garde a Vous getting away six or eight lengths in front, followed by Comme- pa and the favourite, with Baronello and Nepto next, and then Emissaire, Niger, Courtisan, and Equateur, whilst Nocturne, Mirliton, and Nanterre ail got off under the dis- advantages of very bad starts. Garde a Vous maintained his lead until they were just entering the enclosed course, when he gave way beaten, and Comme- pa carried on the running, waited- upon by the favourite, who did not appear able to over haul his opponent until they had passed the corner of the Stands, when he laid himself out for a final effort, and just secured the judges fiat on the post by a neck, four lengths separating Garde a Vous from the first pair, Nepto was a bad fourth, followed by Baronello, fifth, Nocturne, who had gradually got up to his horses, sixth ; the last lot comprising M Delamarre's two, in company with Emissaire and Nanterre.

Distinguo made the running, with Le Fou next in attendance, Chamboran lying third, Rigolo fourth, then the favourite and Sarcelle, and Oberon and Muse brought up the rear. This order was maintained with scarcely any alteration all the way down the straight on the far side, until they were nearly opposite the Chateau, when Distinguo was in difficulties, and Le Fou then car- ried on the running up the hill, at the brow of which Blanchette drew up to the front, and taking the lead when they came into the straight, was never afterwards headed, and won in a canter by three lengths ; Mai quitting his opponents at the distance, having rather more than a similar advantage over Le Fou, who was third, and close up with him followed Rigolo ; Chamboran coming in fifth, Oberon II. sixth, 8arcelle seventh, Muse eighth, and Dis- tinguo was the absolute last. The winner was claimed by Mons Vaillant for i, 500f. DEUXIEME CRITERIUM of 2,000f, for two year old fillies; entrance lOOf; 1061b each; four furlongs; 15 subs.

Mdlle Duchenois jumped off with a clear lead, and, as far as we could make out through the rain, her nearest attendants were Dinorah, Leuctres, one of M Lupin's pair, and La Belle Ferronniere. Nothing, however, could head the favourite during any part of the race, and young Flatman, sitting perfectly still on her all the way, landed her the winner, hands down, in a canter by two lengths; atsout the same interval separating Dinorah from Leuetres ; and then quite clear of the others followed La Belle Ferronniere with Rondinella heading the next lot, which comprised next to her Eva and Mdlle Mignon; the rear of the whole division was brought up by Ninon.

The rain coming down in torrents whilst the several competitors took their preli- minary canters, all seemed in a hurry to get to the post and have it all over as soon as possible, and Baron de la Rochette lost no time in meeting his troop, and despatched them at the first attempt to a tolerably good start, the favourite and Guillaume le Taciturne getting oft' in front; but their jockeys pulled them back after going two or three strides, and then Mon Etoile took up the running at a pretty good pace, followed next by Guillaume le Taciturne, Princet, La Toucques, Flibustier, Gabrielle d'Estrees, and Orphelin in the order named. Coming into the straight Flibustier went up to Mon Etoile, and the two passed the Stand racing together, with Princet lying third, Guillaume fourth, the favourite next, and Gabrielle d'Estrees and Orphelin still in the rear ; and excepting that Flibustier and Mon Etoile took a long lead of their opponents as they swept round the re- servoir turn, there was little change in positions until passing the last house on the row down the straight on the far side © f the course, when La Toucques, pulling double, went up through her horses, and in the next fifty yards was with the leading pair. The race was now all over but shouting, for Doyle had to pull the favourite right out of the leaders' track to prevent her from running over them, and after steadying her down the hill and waiting on Flibustier up the other side, he let her take the lead into the straight, when she carried on the running at her ease, and won in the commonest of canters by two lengths; several lengths separating Orphelin from Flibustier; Guillaume le Taciturne was a very bad fourth, Gabrielle d'Es- trees fifth, Mon Etoile sixth, and Princet last. Net value of the stakes 15,000f, or 600 sovs. WINNERS OF THE EMPEROR'S PRIZE. 1853. M Aumonts Royal Quand Meme. by Giges, 4 yrs.... J. Gibson 1854.

The attendance here on Monday was very numerous— notwith- standing the cold weather and constant showers of rain which fell during the day— and included several of the principal pro- moters of steeple chasing in England, France, and Germany. The ground was in very good order, and ten horses came to the post for the Grand Steeple Chase. In our remarks last week we se- lected Maritana and St Marck to beat the field— St Marck ran second and Maritana fell ( at that time second) at the ninth fence, a small hedge on a bank, and shot Lamplugh well over her head into some thorns, fortunately without any injury. For the Hunters' Stakes, gentlemen riders, three came to the post, and our selec- tion, Mr Riddell's Carew, won, very cleverly ridden by his owner. For the Grand Steeple Chase Egmont appeared to have the race in hand till coming to the last jump, a ditch and bank, where he fell. His clever owner, who was standing there, immediately jumped upon him and rode him past the winning- post, thus securing the 500 francs for the third place. Bridegroom fell at the same place as Maritana. Speculation was on a very limited scale, and the few investments were as follows:— 3 to 1 agst Maritana, 4 to 1 agst Egmont, 6 and 7 to 1 agst Bridegroom, and 5 to 1 agst St Marck. Capt Haworth officiated as starter and rode Franc Picard in the Ponies Steeple Chase on the second day, this being his first ap- pearance in the saddle since his bad accident at Namur. MONDAY, SEPT 21.— A GRAND STEEPLE CHASE HANDICAP of 8,00t> f, added to a Sweepstakes of 500f each, 300 ft, and 150 if declared; the second received l, 500f, and the third 500f; twice round ( about three and a half English miles), 18 fences to jump.

Lamplugh fell A capital start was effected, and all got well away at the first attempt, clearing the first fence opposite the 8tand nearly all toge- ther ; the running was then taken up by Egmont, with Maritana second, Orpheus third, St Marck and Bridegroom fourth and fifth. Laudanum and Duhallow having refused the third fence lost a good deal of ground, and Shandygaff fell at the fifth fence and got away. The leading horses went on in the same order to the ninth fence, where Maritana and Bridegroom fell, which left Egniont in front, closely attended by Orpheus to the last fence, where he also fell. Orpheus was then left alone in the race, and won very easily, being ridden with great judgment by Twiddy.

A large circle of resident members of the university have very often enjoyed his hospitality, and the Corporation of the city of Oxford will never be un- mindful of the festive meetings, kindly associations, and splendid hospitality which they periodically received at Mr Morrell's hands. Whether as a magistrate of the county, a land owner, or a private gentleman, Mr Morrell shone as a man of strong sense and judgment, as a liberal landlord, and as an abiding friend. Educated at Eton, and, throughout his life, mixing genially in society, he added to his natural benevolence a grace and welcome which won every one to him; and he did heartily, thoroughly, and kindly everything to which he addressed himself. To many of the wealthy of the land he set a noble example in his con- sideration of the poor and the needy. And, in all his feelings and actions, he appears to have been mindful of the succinct old saying, " Prastat Yir sine pecunid, quam pecunia sine viro"— ( Better a man without money than monejT without a man). The only surviving member of Mr Morrell's own family is his affec tionate and widowed sister, Mrs Stone, of Streatley House. But he leaves also, most nearly and dearly to mourn him, a widow and an only child ( a young lady of tender years). And we would respectfully offer to Mrs Morrell the meed of public sympathy, and the testimony of general consideration, condolence, and respect. The last solemn rites took place on Saturday last, in the family vault in 8aint Clement's Churchyard, where, in accord- ance with Mr Morrell's testamentary request, his remains will re- pose by the side of his father's.— Oxford Journal. A correspondent adds: " I knew Mr Morrell from a boy ; he was always a generous, good man. He first kept a pack of harriers, and was afterwards master of the old Berkshire Hounds, but getting too heavy to ride, he kept a large kennel of greyhounds, although he never coursed in public, but over his own es- tate at Culham, in Berkshire. He gave private parties on a most liberal scale, always inviting his tenants, and behaving most kindly to all. His princely establUhment at Headington Hill was the home of the most generous hospitality, and his kitchen gardens of such extent that he used frequently to drive his friends foux- in- hand, before going out shooting, round thepaths. He was a good landlord, and every charity in Oxford lias been very much indebted to his liberality." kilos St Mark .82 Auricula 77 Duhallow .... 75 Gueulzin 74 THE CHASE. THE LATE JAMES MORRELL, ESQ, OF HEAD- INGTON HILL. The fact of Mr Morrell's long illness has been so generally known and lamented that the sad announcement now of his decease will be received with less surprise than the event would otherwise have occasioned, but no circumstances could diminish the common sorrow that event will cause. Mr Morrell died at his mansion at Headington Hill on Saturday week. He was born on the 22d of March, 1810, and was, therefore, only 5- 3 years of age. Being of a robust, large, and manly frame, and accustomed from his youth to active exercise on horseback, it has been obvious to Mr Morrell's friends that from the time he ceased to be a mas- ter of foxhounds ( in 1858), and to prefer locomotion in his car- riage to the healthier exercise of the saddle, he has been gradually becoming a valetudinarian and an invalid. The resignation of the hounds, and the abandonment of horse exercise, were, how- ever, not without a cause; for a severe fall which Mr Morrell sustained in hunting Had rendered it inconvenient to him to ride. The disposition, then, to illness, thus contracted, culminated at Brighton in the autumn of 1862, when Mr Morrell met with an accident. Whilst driving in his carriage there, he hastened to the assistance of a lady and gentleman who were thrown from a gig; and, in performing this kind office, Mr Mor- rell fell heavily to the ground, breaking the skin of his leg, which produced a sore not to be healed for months; and the incidental illness and confinement to the house told greatly on Mr Morrell's constitution; so that it is gene- rally believed that his mortal illness ( though relieved by many intervals) in fact dated from that period. For the last five months Mr Morrell has been seriously ill, and has been con- stantly attended by two medical friends of eminence, Dr Jackson andmrHussey; and latterly ( in Dr Jackson's absence from Ox- ford) by Dr Giles. Although they witnessed their patient decli- ning, they failed for a long time to detect in him any organic complaint. And, this negative opinion continuing, Dr Jackson some time since requested that a London physician might be sent for, and Dr Blasius Williams has consequently twice visitedMr Mor- rell, but he on each occasion entirely confirmed both the opinion expressed and the treatment observed by the Oxford doctors. The patient, however, became gradually weaker, could not regain his appetite, and at last sank from utter prostration of the system, caused partly by atrophy, but more from disease of the lungs; and perhaps, in addition, some latent disorders which nothing short of vivisection could discover. Sad to say, however, Mr Mor- rell ( the kind friend in distress, the benefactor of so many) is no more ; and both the city and county of Oxford mourn the loss of a man whose like— for kindness of heart, for true benevolence, and for unbounded hospitality— we shall probably never see again. His means were great, and his heart to dispense those means was commensurately large. The parish of 8t Clement, in which he lived, and the city of Ox- ford at large, teem with objects of his benevwlence ; whilst his relatives, his friends, his tenantry, his numerous servants, and the public, in their several and various relations, suffer in proportion to their degrees of affection, friendship, and respect. It were no hyperbole to aver that the loss to Oxford is irreparable. It was the delight of Mr Morrell's heart to seek out cases of distress, and to relieve them. And, apart from this philanthropy, it was for many years his great pleasure to embrace every opportunity of exercising hospitality ; and that, occasionally, on a grand scale. As illustrations of this, the costly banquet to the county which Mr Morrell gave, when high sheriff, in 1853; and, more recently, the splendid entertainment to the Oxford City Rifle Volunteers, on their original enrolment, will long be remembered. We notice, in passing, these two salient instances, but a catalogue of minor memorials of generous hospitality, intended to bring classes together, to engender neighbourly feelings, and to sacrifice asperities at the shrine of good fellowship and good understand- ing— might be produced; and are enshrined in the memories of very many. And here it would be an injustice to Mr Morrell's memory not to add that on every occasion of an entertainment to the rich, it was supplemented by a bountiful regaling of the poor ; whilst, in the four parishes in which Mr Morrell was mostinterested, the return of every Christmas was an opportunity embraced for gladdening thousands of poor persons with seasonable supplies. The coiiaty magistrates will cherish the reoaJlection of frequent THE TICKHAM FOXHOUNDS. This pack had a capital 50 minutes from the Decoy Pond on Tuesday, the 15th inst. The line of country was never before known for a fox to run in the memory of man. Straight he went from the Decoy, swam the Swale over King's Ferry, the captain of a barge giving a " Tally- ho" over the water. The hounds had to be taken over the bridge. They settled down on the line of him immediately, and finally pulled him down near Minster- street, in the Isle of Sheppy. Nothing but grass, and over as fine a country as could be wished, and may the next take the same course is the wish of all. ANTICIPATED VISIT or THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES AT BADMINTON.— It is rumoured, on good authority, that the Prince and Princess of Wales will be entertained by the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort early in November. The season of the year is suggestive of a lawn day, one of those truly English venatic festivals with which the noble dukes for generations past have been wont to greet their illustrious and distinguished visitors. They have on all past occasions been deserving of royal favour, and as highly appreciated. Very few noblemen's parks are equally adapted for the purpose, and his royal highness's well- known patronage of fox hunting will be a guarantee that the forth- coming meeting will excel all its predecessors. Sir John Trollope's Hounds commenced their season August 29, at Dobbin Hill; since then have been to Greetham, Wood well Head, Easton, Bracborough, Whitchley Warren, Morcray, Holli- well and Dunsby Woods, nine days. Owing to the hard dry state of the ground, scent has been very indifferent, but through perseverance and steadiness on the part of huntsman and hounds, nine noses adorn the kennel door. Dunsby Wood was a clipping day, killing one, and running two others to ground. Cubs are plentiful in the country, and the hounds in first- rate condition. HUNTING IN FRANCE.— The regular meeting of the Chantilly Pack will commence Nov 12. While waiting for this still rather distant date, M Desvigne, now at Bazouche, in the Sarthe, the habitual abode of his excellent pack, so justly admired in the re- cent great dog show at Paris by all amateurs, does not remain in a state of inaction, but has been hunting the roebuck twice a week, preparing thus his dogs for the rough work cut out for them this year at Chantilly. Since the commencement of September four out of five roebucks attacked have been killed. The South Berks Hounds commenced the campaign on the 8th inst. They have been out four mornings and killed three brace of < ubs, after some real honest work. Cubs are very forward and strong this season. The entry, comprising eleven couple, are just through distemper. To much praise cannot be given to Traviss for the beautiful appearance of the pack. Capt Pitman is himself hunting them. We wish hirn well through the wood- lands ; he has begun in earnest, and with some effect. The South Warwickshire Hounds met at Wellesbourne on Saturday, Sept 19, and had a bursting day. There was a good field of ladies and gentlemen, who appeared to be highly in- terested in the day's recreation. The horses and hounds are in slap- up condition, and Tom Matthews hale and hearty. As the foxes are numerous, good sport is anticipated next season in this old- established hunt. The Devon and Somerset Staghounds will meet on Tuesday next at Alderman's Barrow, and on Friday at Raleigh Cross, at a quarter to eleven. COURSING. COURSING FIXTURES FOR 1863. SEPTEMBER. PLACE.

This regatta came off on Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept 22 and 23, when ample amends were made for the disappointment oc- casioned by there being no regatta at Portsmouth last year. Then, it would appear, some difficulty wasfound in getting a good work- ing committee together, but that was remedied this year; a good regatta was the result, and a more appropriate site could not have been selected for an aquatic display; the Esplanade, which ex- tends for about a mile from the King's Rooms to Southsea Castle, affording abundant room for the spectators. The course was :— For sailing boats: Round the Spit buoy, thence round a flagboat moored off the Gillkicker, back to the starting vessel, twice round.— For rowing boats: From Victoria Pier, round a boat moored off Southsea Beach, and back. No ballast received on board or discharged after starting. Any sails or crew allowed. All sails on deck at starting, and boats to be measured by the committee previous to any start being effected. The weather on both days was fine, but very cold. On Tuesday it blew a strong wind from the N. N. W., and scarcely a craft which took part in the regatta but what was compelled to take in a reef or two. On the following day the wind veered more to the west- ward, and was moderate ; still, a fresh wind prevailed. The Admiral Commanding inChief kindly placed H. M. steamer Lucifer at the disposal of the committee, which became the starting vessel; she was moored oft the Victoria Pier, and the Commis- sioners' yacht and several other craft moored in the neighbour- hood dressed ship on the occasion. The following is a summary of the races which came off and the time in which the several rounds of the course were accomplished.

SECOND MATCH, for yachts and pleasure boats under 10 tons ; first prize £ 5, second £ 3, third £ 1. There were no less than 16 entries for this race, and when they were all got into something like a line, the starting gun was fired at noon. They presented a pretty sight at starting, but their sailing flags were blown to atoms ere they had made much progress, and it was soon utterly impossible to disc .* ern them.

The Sophia came in at 2: 8, but it was ascertained that she had not been fairly round the course, and was consequently disqualified.

It was eventually won by the Ord- nance crew from the Guriwharf, beating the Coast Guard boat. MATCH for yachts under 15 tons; time race, one minute per foot; prizes £ 7, £ 3, and £ 2. This was an open race, and had the effect of drawing some of the Mosquito fleet from the river Itchen. There were no less than nine entries, and the following was the result:— 1ST ROUND. 2D ROUND.

This match was well contested, and the first prize was won by the Algeiine, which, from the situation of the wind, had an op- portunity of showing her weatherly qualities in turning to wind- ward, during one- third of the course. SAILING WHEERIES, third class; prizes £ 5, £ 3, and £ 2. Five vessels started, and came in as follows :— Mary Ann ( Blampton) 1, Risk ( Pearce) 2, Phaeton ( Smith) 3, Owner's Delight ( Sutton) 4, Slave ( Harvey) 5. A MATCH between the barges belonging to the lieut- governor, the admiral, and the Royal Artillery, was well rowed, and was watched with considerable interest by the blue- jackets, who proved successful. There was also an open race for amateur galleys, which was well contested, and won by the Gorilla, of Southamp- ton, beating Cave Adsum, Tyro, and Chips. The weather was much too rough for the rowing boats. Several races among the dockyard boats followed, also by the officers of the garrison, which occasioned much excitement among the parties interested. On Wednesday, the first race was for yachts under 12 tons, for a Silver Cup, valued at 12gs, given by Mr W. Jenkins, of Gladstone House ; no time allowance. There w as a fresh breeze, which had wested considerably during the day, and the result was that the yachts performed the rounds of the course without a tack. The following vessels entered, and performed the various rounds of the course in the following order :— IST ROUND. 2D ROUND. TACHT. TONS. OWNER. H. M. S. H. M. 3. VIOLET ... ... 16 ...

I will pay my own expenses to row him jn London. A match can be made at Mr Laidler s, Old Bailey, London.— Signed ( on behalf of Cooper), JOHN YOUNG. THE LATE REGATTA AT EEW. MR EDITOR : With reference to the letter published in your impression of the 19th nlst, addressed to me by Mr Ellinger, the hon sec of the Corsair Rowing Club, the subject of which I was certainly under the impression had been explained away, as on receiving the letter I at once, as stated in your notice, acknow- ledged the same, and requested Mr Ellinger to attend a meeting of the committee to be held on the 4th inst, and at the same time wrote to Mr Tyler, Of the West London Rowing Club, asking him also to attend the meeting ; and his brother, the hon sec of that club, and who was acquainted with the whole of the facts, and heard what I stated, a> tended; but instead of Mr Ellinger coming, I received a letter from him, of which the following is a copy :— 2, College- street, Putney, Sept 4, 1863. DEAR BIR: I have to acknowledge the receipt of yours, dated 2d, and regret exceedingly that I am unable to attend the meet- ing of your committee this evening, being particularly engaged, and shall, therefore, be greatly obliged by your giving me, per return, an answer to my letter of the 2d inst, so that I may have it in time for our club meeting on Monday next.— Yours faithfully, R. W. Pittard, Esq. JNO. ELLINGER, hon sec. I, therefore, read both of his letters to the members of the com- mittee ( Mr Tyler also being present), and I drew his particular attention to what I am reported to have stated, viz, " one of the Corsair Rowing Club came to you. and requested you to start their crew over the course, and that they would claim the prizes and take the consequences;" at the same time denying having uttered any such words as those in the latter part of the sentence p\ id in italics ; but that what I had said was, " That after the nciC fc a gentleman having on the colours of the Corsair Rowir. gClub came to me and asked, as the West London men had all declined to row, whether the committee would start them ( the Corsair Row ing Club) without them," and this I again repeat as being the fact: but who that gentleman was I can't say, as he, as well as nearly all the competitors at the regatta, were strangers to me, and I think it would have been acting in a much more gentle- manly manner had he informed the committee of the Corsair Rowing Club what he had said to me, and thus prevented the in sertion in your columns of an untrue statement, the subject matter of which to the family and friends of Mr Embleton de- ceased must be v ery hurtful. The reason I did not reply to Mr Ellinger's second communication is, that Mr Tyler particularly wished me not to do so, as he would prefer seeing Mr El linger himself and fully explaining the matter satisfactorily, and I con- cluded such was'the case, as up to the time of seeing your paper on Saturday last I had heard nothing further of the matter. In conclusion, I may add that no notice will be taken by me of any further letters on the subject which may be inserted in your paper, as what I have stated in regard thereto is the truth, and to which I hope always toadhere.— Yours, & c, Kew, Sept 24, 1863. R. W. PITTARD, hon sec. [ We insert this letter as sent.— ED.] PRINCE ALBERT AQUATIC CLUB.— The members of this club will row their four- oared race of the season on Tuesday, Oct 13, from Putney to Barnes, for silver cups, gold rings, and money prizes. The following crews will contend:— Orange: Messrs J. Lowson, Gutteridge, Clarke, and Kemp; E. Barber ( cox). White: Messrs Beech, Spencer, Sanders, and Woolley; H. Burton ( cox). Red: Messrs Gardner, Moore, Smith, and Fenton; C. Lowson ( cox). Blue: Messrs Aldridge, Miller, Newland, and Wallace; R. Lewis ( cox). A steamboat will accompany the race, and will start from London Bridge at a quarter past one o'clock. AQUATICS AT CAMBRIDGE — The members of the Cambridge Town Rowing Club have closed their season with a dinner at the Red Lion Hotel, and the presentation of a tea- service to Mr J. Harvey, who has from the outset laboured hard to make the club worthy of the town. A four- oared match, which the club has just rowed with the Rover Boat Club, has terminated in its favour. The crews were as follows:— Town Rowing Club: H. Emmerson, H. Herring, E. Barrett, N. Crossley, F. Smith ( cox).— Rover Boat Club: J. Wright, G. Carpenter, F. Metcalfe, A. Smith, H. Dent ( cox). T. Hoare of Hammersmith will make two matches of £ 50 a side each to row Griggs of Shorehatn; one match on the Thames, in the best boat each can get, and the other at Shoreham, in the same sort of boats used at the late regatta. The race 011 the Thames to be from Putney to Bari. e- Bridge, and at Shoreham from the Sus- pension Bridge two miles out and return to the bridge, making one turn. Or Hoare will row him at Shoreham only, for the same amount, if allowed reasonable expenses. An answer to Hoare at Mr Wilcox's, Barnes, or through Bell's Life will be attended to. CANNON AND SHORT.— For this match we have received the whole of the money, £ 50 a side. It is to come off in old- fashioned boats, from the Half- way House to a boat moored off Blackwall, one hour before high water. A steamboat has been engaged to accompany the race, and will leave London Bridge at ten o'clock, calling at the other piers on the way down. C. May, T. Cotter, J. Hobbs, and J. Hickman of the Arunde Alliance Rowing Club will row T. Mahon, G. Wakefield, J. Gard ner, and W. Lawrence of the Strand Rowing Club, for £ 10 a side, from Putney to Barnes, and will meet them at Mr Penry's, the Griffin, Newcastle- street, Strand, on Monday night, Sept 28, to make a match. KILSBY AND SPENCER. — These men are matched to row from Putney to Hammersmith Bridge, for £ 15 a side, on Monday, Oct 12. We have received £ 5 a side, and a similar deposit is to be mad eat Mr Kemp's, Sept 26. W. Morgan and crew will row G. Weeber and three other mast makers of Wapping a four- oared race from Putney to Barnes, for £ 10 a side, and meet them any night next week at Mr J. Kemp's, Safe Harbour, Sale- street, White- street., Bethnal Green. C. Dixon will row C. Childs from North Woolwich to Lime- house, or from Putne3' to Mortlake, for £ 25 a side, in old- fashioned boats. An answer through this paper will be attended to. Objection having been made to the Violet, as being over a twelve tonner, she sailed under protest. According to the Customs account a certificate was obtained, which proved her to be, by the new measurement, rather under 12 tons; but, as the tonnage of yachts is invariably guided by the o m., or by that of the Royal Thames, by either of which she would have been considerably over the allotted tonnage, she was disqualified at the meeting of the committee on Thursday evening, and the prize awarded to Mr Rosomon, the owner of the Algerine. A ROWING MATCH followed, for the championship of the port of Portsmouth, by licensed watermen, the prize being a coat and badge, given by Messrs Joseph, and a silver cup, by Mr West. This was won by John Grigg, in the Lord Clifton, beiting J. Little, of the Gem, who was a good second; Batchelor, Humby, and Mor- timore, who rowed three other boats, gave in. The match was very exciting, and was followed by some minor races, which brought the regatta to a close. THE LATE TYNE REGATTA. ME EDITOR : In justice to the public, and likewise to myself, I wish to make a few remarks 0: 1 the race for the Championship of the Tyne between myself and Chambers. Having lost the station, Chambers took the north shore, it blowing a gale of wind. A very even start was made, Chambers making for the shore. The fourth stroke I got a real ducking, the water going up my back and half filling my boat, Chambers getting half a length ahead. I then pulled myself together, and fairly rowed by him outside, and took his water, leading him clear by half a dozen feet. Chambers's boat rose on the top of a long swell, caused by the steamboats ac- companying the race, and came over my stern, thereby causing a foul, which, had it been on the London river, or any other but Newcastle, the behind man would have lost. But accerding to the rules laid down by the Tyne Regatta Committee, it ought at all events to have been rowed over again. Before starting for the race, Mr Pringle called me on to the steamboat, and read the fol- lowing rule : " That should a foul occur, a bell will ring from the steamboat, and the race to stop, to toss again for stations, and the race to be rowed over again," which Chambers can t stify as the last words before starting. But to the race. After the first foul I spurted from him, although half full of water, and Chambers with scarcely a drop in, being well provided with an extra wash- break on. " I was leading by half a length clear, when a wherry lying at the new quay caused me to alter my course by pulling my left hand, and even then not clearing her cable. Chambers, then astern, saw the danger, and pulling his left came out clear of the wherry on to my right hand scull, wrenching the button clean off, and putting his scull against my back, went over the course no doubt in his glory, while I had all my work to keep in my boat, being a button short, to get over the remainder of the distance. On doing so I claimed the foul, as I was in my own water, after having once taken Chambers's. Mr Pringle told me the committee would hear the complaints of both men, and they would settle it. I then left the steamboat to go to my quarters, and in the evening went to Mr Piggott's to meet the committee, when to my surprise I was told they had settled it on the steam- boat in the presence of Chambers, myself being absent. I sent in a protest to Mr Pringle, but it was not acknowledged, and thus ended the Tyne Regatta of 1863, a great success says one of the Newcastle journals; but as I am not satisfied with the decision of the committee, I now challenge Chambers to row for £ 200 a side, from Putney to Mortlake, in five weeks from the first deposit, when we shall have a fair race and no favour and a just decision. H. KELLEY, ex- Champion, Bells, Putney, [ Kelley has left £ 10 in our hands to make the match. GREEN ( THE AUSTRALIAN) AND COOPER OF NEW- CASTLE. ME EDITOR: I find by the Newcastle Chronicle that Cooper accepts my challenge, and has named Mr Laidler's, New Inn, Old Bailey, as the place where I can draw up articles to row on the Parramatta river, for £ 1,000 a side ( not £ 500 a side, the amount I named). I called at the New Inn, and Mr Fitch, the present proprietor, informed me that he had not at present received any authority to make a match. Now, as I really mean business, I shall expect Mr Fitch, of the New Inn, to be in a position to make a match, and stake at least £ 50 a side, on Thursday evening, Oct 1, when articles can be drawn up and signed. I expect Cooper will leave England not later than March next, so that he will arrive in the Australian autumn ( May). This will enable him to row in the winter— say August or September,— Yours, & c, R. A. W. GREEN, Champion of the Thames. FOOTBALL AT RUGBY.— The annual match of the Sixth against the School will begin at Rugby on Saturday, Oct 3, when the Old Rugbeans, on whatever side they play, will be gladly welcomed by their successors on the scene of their old exploits.

This affair was originally fixed to come off in the provincial ring on Tuesday, July 21, but owing to the men not being able to agree upon a referee, the tourney did not take place, and a great deal of trouble and expense was incurred without any satisfactory result. After the meeting Brown intimated he was willing to draw the battle money, a proposition by no means in accordance • with the wishes of Kelly, who was determined, win or lose, to have a fight for it, and it was then agreed to leave the matter in our hands— hence the meeting of Tuesday, Sept 22. Kelly, who stands 5ft 9jin, and is 28, has fought twice in the provincial ring. On the 1st of Oct, 1860, he met Connor, for £ 25 a side, whom he disposed of in 58min, the battle being fought near Dewsbury. After this he was matched against one Lomas, for £ 50 a side, and this contest, which took place on Dec 17, 1861, also terminated in victory on the part of Kelly, the battle being given against Lomas in consequence of his going down without a blow. Although a fine, well- proportioned man, with a keen, bright eye, Kelly had not impressed his provincial admirers with any exalted notion of his milling capabilities. Kelly has for some time past been acting as " mine host," keeping the Old Drum Ins, Wake- field, Bradford, and we are informed by those who know him best is a civil, obliging, painstaking man of business, and much esteemed for the manner in which he upon all occasions conducts himself. Brown has onty fought once i efore, having contended with Lomas above referred to, but the affair was by no means a creditable exhibition to either of the combatants, as a strong opinion was entertained that " Mr Barney" had more to do with the match than was to be desired by honest, thorough- going sports- men. Brown is now 28 years of age, and stands 5ft lOjin, so that he had the advantage of being a little the taller man. Since the contest bet ween Mace and Goss he has been training at Mr G. Woody's, Garratt- lane, Wandsworth, and in condition was all that could be desired. The men were not confined to weight, but Kelly informed us that when he last scaled he pulled down lOst 12lb, while Brown stated he was list 31b. Brown looked much the heavier man, and had the appearance of being a little broader and more fully developed about the chest and loins. Brown established his head- quarters at Jack Hicks's, the King's Arms, Whitechapel, while Kelly placed himself under the care of young Ben Caunt, the Coach and Horses, St Martin's- lane. After an early start from the metropolis, and a rather long journey, the ring was pitched on familiar ground, the men and their backers having the satisfac- tion to find all was " serene," and from the perfect calm that reigned around, there was not much to be dreaded from the inter- ference of the " rurals." Brown, who won the toss for corners, was the first to step within the ropes, and he was the favourite in betting, his friends laying the odds of 5 to 4. When the men • were in the ring it was a. reed the winner should defray the ex- penses of the ropes and stakes out of the battle money; and all being now in readiness, they were conducted to the scratch, and at fifteen minutes to ten o'clock commenced THE FIGHT. Round 1. That neither man had the least pretension to science was palpable the moment they had been left together. There was not a movement in their action that displayed anything like skill, but, on the contrary, the eagerness evinced by Brown to commence operations would almost lead to the suppo- Bition he had never before met an opponent in the ring. No novice could have manifested less coolness and self- possession. On the instant he dashed at his man in a rapid and impetuous manner. The exchanges were of a heavy and telling description, Kelly getting home with the left on the mouth, and with the right on the top of the cranium, Brown delivering the left on the mazzard, and right on the left side of the nob. In the rapid fight- ing Bill for the moment got against the ropes on Tom's side of the ring, but having shifted, the men again exchanged heavily left and right, and in a wild, determined manner fought with both mawleys, the hitting on the part of Kelly being of a telling de- scription. At the ropes they got together, when Brown in getting from his man went down. First blood was claimed for Kelly and admitted, as the dye was plainly to be perceived from Brown's tater trap. 2. On coming from his corner. Brown displayed a most sus- picious circle round his left peeper. Kelly on coming to the scratch had his nob bent forward, and from the flushed appearance of his physiognomy it was apparent that in the opening broadside some of the siiots delivered by his antagonist had taken effect. No sooner had Brown been met by his man than he at once went to • work. In a desperate manner they fought left and right, getting in all parts of the ring. The hitting was decidedly in favour of Kelly, who delivered the left well and straight from the shoulder, and likewise at half- arm. As they went dashing across the ring he got the right on the body. Brown delivered some shots with the left on the dial, but apparently they did not make much im- pression on Tom's phiz. In their wild, rapid movements they got to Kelly's corner, when Tom, after some more exchanges from the half- arm, on getting from his man went down. 3. Kelly, on making his appearance at the scratch, had a con- spicuous mark on his right cheek, a proof that Brown had in the preceding round made a fine impression with his left mawley. Tom was the first to open the ball, and he delivered with stinging force left and right in the middle of the head. Brown, not to be denied, made an attempt to return, and after some rattling ex- changes he got from his man and went down. 4. The instant the men had come together Brown went to work to force the fighting, when Kelly administered a tremendous squasher with the right on the left cheek, the force of which sent Bill staggering back, and he fell in the centre of the ring all of a heap, therefore first knock down blow was decided in favour of Kelly. 5. The moment time had been called, Kelly's attentive seconds, seeing the advantage of the moment, sent their man to the scratch in the most prompt manner, and Tom stood in the centre of the ring sparring to himself, and working the left foot up and down in a way that, although there was something iu the action ex- tremely comical, yet at the same time plainly told to those ob- servant of such matters how impatient he was to be doing. " Time! time !'* again and ayain was repeated by the referee, and there was a deal of commotion in Brown's corner, but he did not rise from his second's knee to advance to the scratch. Indeed there can be no doubt that, strictly according to rules, he had lost the battle; but there was no disposition evinced to snatch a ver- - dict, and that more particularly as there could be no second opinion entertained as to the result. At length Bill came from his corner in a decided state of mental fogginess, when Tom went • to him to force the fighting. With the left Kelly delivered a heavy spank on the snout, when Brown, after hitting out wildly, fell at the stakes on his own side of the ring. 6. No sooner had the men come together than Kelly dashed out the left and right, and got home with such stinging severity that Brown dropped from his man, hitting his back and head heavily. Indeed, for a fall of this peculiar character, it was one of the most severe we have ever witnessed. 7. Kelly came up with the utmost eagerness, Brown, on the contrary, appearing to have by no means shaken oft' the effects of the severe system- wrencher received in the preceding bout. Tom with a fine straight hit from the left got full on the mazzard, when Brown, after hitting wildly in return, went down. When the men had been summoned to the scratch for the purpose of renewing the struggle, the " East End Cyclops," after turning his single lamp on his man and finding it was " all out'' of him, threw up the sponge in token of defeat. The moment he had done this Brown advanced from his corner and wished to con- tinue the fighting, but was not allowed to do so. He was taken back to his corner by his seconds, and was seized with some kind of fit, which required all their attention for a few minutes. He, however, speedily recovered, although, as may be imagined, he was greatly crestfallen at defeat. The battle lasted exactly eight minutes, and on leaving the ring where he had obtained so decisive and easy a victory over his opponent Kelly had only a few slight and totally unimportant marks about his physiognomy. REMARKS. In a battle of such brief duration there is but little oppor- tunity offered of judging of Kelly's gameness and staying qualifi- cations. We have already intimated that, like his antagonist, he has no pretensions to science ; but of two things there cannot be a doubt, viz, that he can not only hit hard, but has the knack of sending the left home wonderfully straight. He has won this match in a manner that cannot fail to enhance him considerably in the estimation of his friends; and it will be strange if such a fine powerful fellow does not achieve a greater posi- tion than he at present holds among the members of the pugilistic corps. Although allowance must be made for his having a man completely " open" before him, one, indeed, who like himself knew little or nothing about stopping, still Kelly gave proof that he could put it there with " a will;" and whoever for the future meets him will have to go into the ring prepared for a good merry rattling mill. Of Brown we have but little to say, for as will be seen by our account he had the worst of the battle from the beginning, and was defeated by his antagonist in the most unceremonious and off- hand manner. That he is a game man his seconds readily on the conclusion of the contest admitted ; but there requires something more than mere game to attain anything like success or a position within the P R As a defeated man, who did his best to bring about a more favourable and satisfactory result, he is fully entitled to the sympathy of his friends. But although we do not like in the moment of defeat to say that which cannot be other- wise than unpalatable, yet we must not refrain from saying, judging from the manner he fought on Tuesday, there can be no hope entertained that he is ever likely to gain distinction within the ropes. The money is to be given to Kelly at Ben Caunt's, Coach and Horses, St Martin's- lane, on Tuesday evening. TEE MATCH FOR £ 2,000. JACK HEENAN AND TOM KING.— There was a regular rattling irking on Thursday evening, Sept 24, at Jemmy Welsh's, f rimri, Church- street, to witness the posting of a further deposit .;• this important affair. Heenan was present, attended by his - mentor, Owen Swift, whileKing was represented by Mr Richard- son. The yellow boys were duly tabled, and it was announced that a bet'had been laid of £ 600 to £ 400, the layer of the odds standing Heenan, and Mr Hogg, on the part of Mr Richardson, backing King. A portion of the bet is staked, and we understand the remainder is to be put down whenever called for by Mr Richardson. The next deposit is to be made on Thursday, Oct 8, at Harry Orme's, Jane Shore, Shoreditch. THE CHAMPIONSHIP. JEM MACE AND RYALL.— The rival champions have again com- plied with articles, and sent us £ 10 a side. A ceremony they will be good enough to repeat on Friday, Oct 2. HARRY ALLEN AND JEM COYNE OF BIRMINGHAM.— The ori- ginal match, at 9st 121b, for £ 15 a side, between these men was to have come off on Aug 4, but on arriving on the ground the men could not agree to a referee, and the matter ended in " no fight." After a deal of useless chaff they met at H. Crutchley's on Aug 26, and drew fresh articles to fight at 9st 121b for the money down on Tuesday, 8ept 22. Allen gave Coyne £ 1 to agree to the above time, Coyne to have the choice of place of fighting. Both then went into training, Allen under Jem Hodgkiss and Coyne under Rook. On Monday, Sept 21, they went to scale, when Allen was only 4oz under his weight; Coyne was just 21b under the mark. Coyne named, as before, Kingswood Wood Common as the fixture, and on Tuesday morning a select company assem- bled; but the police put in an appearance in strong force, and a move took place back towards Wolverhampton, and, after some delays and disappointments, the referee got the men to- gether at Delves Green, a mile and a half from Walsall, at two o'clock. Coyne is of Irish extraction, 22 years of age, stands 5ft 8jin, and is a well- built young fellow. We thought him a little too fleshy, but looking well; this was his first public essay in a roped ring. Of Allen we have spoken before, and we need only say that this was his seventh battle, although he is only 21 years ofage. He stands 5ft9| in, and looked in first- rate condition. Allen was attended by Jem Hodgkiss and Posh Price, and Coyne by Nobby Hall and Tom Lane. They quickly commenced opera- tions. After some fiddling Coyne feinted, Allen out of distance. Coyne, in a second attempt, got well home en Allen's forehead, raising a slight lump, but in return Allen countered him on the nasal organ, from which the ruby trickled slightly ( first blood * or Allen), . Coyne returning on the nob. Some sharp exchanges followed, the men all over the ring, until Coyne slipped down. 2. Allen at once went to work and took a decided fighting his man down. 3. Both men up together, and a ^' en fought lvund took place, but decidedly in Allen's favour, placed a rattler on Coyne's jaw, who got down. 4. Coyne off with his left, catching Allen a clipper on the right ogle. A | len returning heavily on Coyne's nob. A bustling rouud ended ij1' close, both men down, side by side. 5. Coyne led off with his right on Allen's forehead, and was well countered by Allen, who got well home on Coyne's left daylight, making anuglygosh; Coyne returned heavily on Allen's ribs with his right; seine heavy exchanges on both sides, and Coyne down, out of harm's way. 6. Allen came up bleeding from the mouthpiece and right peeper, whilst Coyne's left daylight showed symptoms of early closing. Some mutual exchanges, and Coyne got down. 7. This was a bustling rouud, Coyne taking the initiative and fighting strong, and getting well home on Allen, fighting him home to the ropes, over which both fell. 8. Allen first up and at it, placing a rattler on the mouthpiece of Coyne; some sharp exchanges, Coyne busy, but his blows lacked steam ; a close for the fall, both down, Coyne under. 9. Allen's right ogle nearly closed. Fast fighting ; in the end Coyne slipped down.— 10 and 11. Both men making some exchanges, but no- thing of any moment, Coyne in the finish going down. 12. Coyne first up, went straight to his man, who threw out his left, but fell short. Coyne delivered his right a rattler on the left side of Allen's nob, from which he reeled and fell all of a heap ( a knock- down was claimed for Coyne, but not alio wed). 13. Allen came up evidently feeling the effects of the late round, but after sparring he quickly recovered himself, and got well horn'- on Coyne's damaged ogle, who in return got on Allen's nob, but when going for the fallslipped down. The fighting continued pretty equal for the next ten rounds, but Coyne's blows did not seem so effective as Allen's, who punished his man severely. Coyne now went down repeatedly from weakness, and was cautioned by the referee. It would be useless to go more into detail. Allen increased his advantage every round, and » fter fighting 5- 5 rounds, Coyne's friends, seeing his chance was out, threw up the sponge in token of defeat, Allen being declared the winner in one hour and three minutes. Coyne was deeply morti- fied at his defeat, but his friends are satisfied he did his best to win. The stakes will be handed to Allen on Thursday evening, Oct 1, at White's, George and Dragon, Barr- street, Birmingham, when he will be glad to see his friends. PETER MORRIS OF BIRMINGHAM.— The battle money will be handed over to Peter ( for his late fight with Morris Roberts) on Wednesday, Sept 30, at Brettle's, White Lion, Digbeth, where he will be glad to see his friends to partake of a spread, which will be prepared in Brettle's usual good style. Mr Hichardson of the Blue Anchor, Church- street, takes up his quarters at Bob Brettle's, White Lion, Digbeth, [ Birmingham, this evening, and will remain until after the presentation of the money to Peter Morris for his late fight. ROOK AND REARDON.— We are glad to find this match is on again, Reardon having accepted £ 20 to forego the forfeit, which he would not have demanded originally had he not been a great loser by not claiming forfeits on other occasions, and had not the greater por'ion of the money down been his own. There is now £ 50 a side down, and the men are to stake £ 5 a side weekly with us till the last deposit, which shall be £ 20 a side. They fight on Nov 24, at lOst 41b. Reardon will be at Newmarket next week glad to see his friends, and will be obliged to those who promised to stand money with him if they will send it to Mr Ward, Iron- founders' Arms, Greenwich. JOE GOSS AND YOUNG BROOME.— These men met on the 17th, as we have before stated, aud drew articles, staking £ 9 a side, to fight for £ 100 a side, open for £ 200, on the 16th of February, in the London district. They met again on Thursday, Sept 24, at Bob Travers's, Sun and Thirteen Cantons, and increased the money down to £ 15 a side. They are to stake £ 5 a fortnight till further notice. WORMALD AND KELLY.— A match has been made between Tom Kelly of Bradford and Jack Wormald ( Hicks's big one), to fight for £ 50 a side. They have staked £ 2 each, and are to meet at Mr Richardson's, Blue Anchor, Church- street, on Wednesday, Sept 30, to draw articles, and increase the money down to £ 5 a side, the man absent to forfeit. BALDOCK AND GANNON.— Again do we acknowledge £ 5 a side between these men, who are to make their final deposit on Thurs- day, at Mr Prior's, Black Lion, Whitefriars- street. Gannon's colours will then be published. Baldock's colours are out this evening, and are to be had at Billy Shaw's, Queen's Head, Crown- court, Windmill- street. HALL AND MILLARD.— We have received articles for a match between Peter Millard and Henry Hall to flght for £ 50 a side on Dec 22, in the London district. It is stated in the articles that we hold £ 2 10s a side. We have only £ 2 10s down in our books ; per- haps the men can tell us when the other £ 2 10s was sent. KELLY AND ASHFORD ( ALIAS PIPPIN).— A match has been made between these Birmingham light weights, at7st 61b, for £ 10, to come off over 10 and under 20 miles from home, on Tuesday, Oct 20. 30s a side is down, and a further deposit must be made to T.

COOPER'S MAN AND MARSDEN.— These men must be again pre- pared with £ 2 10s a side on Friday, Oct 2. This fight is now fixed for Oct 20, instead of the 13th, owing to the latter day being in the Cesarewitch week. PARKINSON AND PRICE.— This match is going on at catch weight, for £ 25 a side. It stands to come off on Dec 8, in the mid- land districts. A further deposit for the same must be made to Mr Coates, the stakeholder, on Monday, Sept 28. BURGESS AND SMITH.— For this match we find that the second deposit of £ 2 lbs a side, made at Jem Clarke's, Hou « hton Abbey, never reached our hands. We shall be glad if Clarke will en- lighten us as to when it was sent. NAPPER AND FURZE.— These lads have again staked £ 2 10s each. The next deposit of £ 2 10s each is to be made at Mr Han- chard's, Prince Albert, Hoxton- square, on Thursday, Oct 1.

SMITH AND CLARICE— Mr Wilcox writes us word he sent up £ 2 10s for this match this week. There was no Post Office order in his letter. We presume he forgot to enclose it. CURLY AND LAVIN.— These men have again sent £ 2 a side. They must send the remainder of their money, £ 7 each, by Fri- day, Oct 2.

The whole of the proceedings were under the entire control and management of Messrs Frost, Harris, Brown, Bromley, Delacour, Harrison, and Ringer. The sports had been announced to commence at four o'clock, and, punctual to the time specified, the first event decided was A 100 YARDS RACE.— This was contested by the undermen- tioned competitors :— First heat: Messrs Harrison, W. Butler, M. Murray, G. Clements, and T. Hodgson. The men went off in good style, and altera well- contested race Mr Harrison went in a clever winner, Mr Hodgson second.— Second heat: Messrs F. Bank, H Pinkney, B. Gapp, A. Rhodes, and J. Bromley. When the pistol had been tired they dashed off' on the most even terms, and between them a well- contested and spirited struggle ensued. As they drew on the finish Mr Bromley and Mr Rhodes were the leading men, and after a tine race between them Mr Bromley went in a winner by a bare yard.— Final heat: Mr Harrison and Mr Bromley with Mr Hodgson and Mr Rhodes had now to contend for the prize. The two last- mentioned had only run second in their respective heats, but this fact did not, according to the stipu- lated conditions, prevent them from, in the final " throw up," contending for the prize. This from end to end proved a splendid struggle, and on the finish Mr Harrison went in a winner by not more than half a yard. Mr Bromley came in second, but on reaching the goal had the ill- luck to fall, yet did not, it is satis- factory to state, sustain any serious hurt. A 250 YARDS RACE.— This event brought the following amateurs on the ground as competitors:— First heat: Mr W. Butler, Mr W. Dalton, Mr F. Ringer. An admirable start was effected, and a fine, well- contested race ensued, terminating in the victory of Mr Dalton, who defeated Mr Ringer by two yards.— Second heat: Mr H. Pinkney and Mr C. Bergernan. These were the only two who came to the post to contest this heat, and the race ended in the victory of Mr Pinkney, who as they drew on the goal went well away from his opponent, and finished a winner by three yards.— Final heat: Mr Dalton, Mr H. Pinkney, Mr F. Ringer, and Mr C. Bergernan had now to come together to con- test the final heat, those gentlemen who had run second in the " trials'' being allowed, as j, in the preceding event, to run off' with the two winners in the final heat, this being quite a novel innova- tion, and contrary to the established rule of such matches. On the names being called over, Mr Dalton did not come to the scratch, so that there were only three starters. The instant the trio got off the lead was taken by Mr Bergernan, who, notwith- standing the strenuous efforts of his competitors to close up the gap* and come to the fore, maintained the advantage right away, and went in a rather easy winner. Mr Ringer, although com- pletely beaten off towards the finish by the superior speed of his opponent, came in second; Mr Pinkney, who was well up in the rear of the last competitor, running a good third. A QUARTER OF A MILE RACE.— This event was contested by Mr L. Griffiths, Mr A. Rhodes, Mr C. Delacour, and Mr P. Smith. It will be seen the " field" consisted of five starters, and a fine struggle ensued between them. On going away the lead was taken by Mr Rhodes, Mr Harrison falling into second position. A finer amateur race, or one contested in a more spirited manner has seldom been witnessed. As the two leading men came round the bend of the course, and entered the straight run to the goal, Mr Harrison gathered himself up, and in a magnificent spurt tried to wrest the lead from Mr Rhodes. Now as the men came rattling along, the interest of the race became more and more exciting, for Mr Harrison made such a decided impression on his man, that he rapidly diminished the gap between them. Many of his friends imagined he would be able to pull the event off in triumph, but their hopes were not realised, as Mr Rhodes, although he was pressed so hard by his opponent, maintained the advantage of the lead to the finish, and passed the goal a winner by a loot; Mr Griffiths, who was in the rear of Mr Harrison, came in third. A MILE RACE.— This affair brought to the mark Mr J. Git- tings, Mr H. Flint, and Mr H. Cocks. On the part of Mr Flint and Mr Cocks the match was gallantly contested, and although Mr Cocks had maintained a trifling lead from start, yet so well up was Mr Flint on the termination of the fourth and last lap, that Mr Cocks did not go in a winner by more than two yards. Time, 5 § ir. in. RACE FOR THE CHALLENGE CUP.— This was indisputably looked on as the leading event of the meeting, as the trophy has to be maintained against all amateur challengers of their own " division." The distance to be run was two miles, so that the competitors had to make eight rounds of the course. When the whole of the preparatory matters had been arranged, the under- mentioned came to the starting mark, viz. Mr J. Frost, MrH. Johnstone, Mr A. Rhodes, Mr Bergernan, Mr I. Tresler, and Ms J. Griffiths. On starting the lead was taken by Griffiths, who maintained this advantage until they same by the referee for the completion of the fourth lap ( one mile}, when Mr Johnstone^ who had been making a waiting race of it, and had thus far, with a judicious bit of " timing," causad Griffiths to act as pisnaer, now put on some extra speed, and challenged1 him for the lead*. Griffiths made a vigorous attempt to race with his man, but to no purpose. He had frem the commencement been dashing along at his best speed, therefore when the pressure came to be applied on the part of Johnstone he was compelled to give way. The moment the lead was taken by Johnstone the result was never in doubt, as he soon placed a formidable gap between himself and his op- ponent, and won with considerable ease. Mr Griffiths was the only other man who ran the match fairly out, the rest having pulled up and retired when they found they had not the least chance. Done in ll^ min, the winner being in no sort of " form" for so long a spin. HURDLE RACE or 140 YARDS.— This spin over eight hurdles was contested by Mr C. Bergernan, Mr Dorling, Mr J. Hodgson, Mr L. Griffiths, and Mr Pinkney. The match is soon described, for the lead was taken by Mr Griffiths, which he held, and went in an easy winner. Mr Hodgson had the ill luck to fall during the struggle, but with such admirable rapidity did he gather himself up that he continued the race, and came in second. LONG J UMP.— There were four who had entered to contend for this, viz, Mr 8. Hodgson, Mr J. Reid, Mr W. Reid, and Mr R. Batman. This, in the end, was won by Mr Hodgson, after he had twice tied with Mr Balman. CAMPBELL AND MUNNEY.— These amateurs also came on the ground to run 120 yards, for £ 10 a side. The betting was 2 to 1 on Campbell, and on settling the preparatory matters Mr Wilkins was chosen referee, and Mr Pearson to superintend the start, it being agreed the competitors should go by report of pistol. After each man had in turn been put back a yard according to ar- ticles, owing to getting on the move before the pistel had been fired, they dashed off. Munney, who got a trifle the best of the start, maintained the lead until 70 yards of the distance had been covered, when Campbell graelnally closed on his man, came to the fore, and landed the winner of a well- contested race by a foot. On Monday, Sept 28, in consequence of the 440 Yards Sweep- stakes between Snow, Ford, and Bagshaw for £ 15, and the Ten Mile Match against time on the same day, the One Mile Handicap for £ 5 will come off on Monday, Oct 5. Entries Is, to remain open until Thursday, Oct 1. Acceptances Is 6d, to be made on the day. Saturday throughout the winter will be set apart for minor races, when 3d will be charged for admission. PEDESTRIANISM AT HACKNEY WICK- HALF- MILE HANDICAP.— On Monday, Sept 21, there could no- have been less than 1,500 of the Metropolitans assembled on J- Baum's enclosed ground, it being for the joint benefit of those cele- brated members of the P. R., Jem Mace and Joe Goss. In addi- tion to the customary sparring in the roped arena, under the su perintendence of Billy Duncan, the above handicap took place. The competitors had been put fairly together, according to their past performances, by W. Price, the well- known M C., and ran in the undermentioned order:— First heat: Riley 45 yards start, Gilder's Novice ( wooden leg) 260. This was easily won by Riley.— Second heat: Richards 25, Brunell 35. This was a splendid strug- gle from end to end; Richards, as tbey drew near the finish, suc- ceeded in wresting the lead from his opponent, and going in a fine winner.— Third heat: Mills ( Young England) at scratch, M'Naughton 75, Howes 50. Another well- contested race, and M'Naughton, who held the lead all the way, going by the goal a fine winner, Howes second, and Mills a good third.— Final heat: Riley 45, Richards ( Welshman) 25, M'Naughton 75. These pe- destrians having proved the three winners in the preparatory heats had now to run off for the prize, a silver watch. Oil the pistol being fired, they bounded off in admirable style, and a splendid race ensued between the trio M'Naughton, with his commanding lead, cut out the running at a tremendous pace, fol- lowed by Riley, while Richards came rattling along well in the rear, although, when they went, by for the completion of the first lap, it was apparent from the alteration that had already taken place he was rapidly gaining on Riley, while the last- named man was fast diminishing the gap between himself and M'Naughton. M'Naughton undeniably had started well, and was racing in the most plucky and resolute manner, but to no purpose, for the competitors to whom he was opposed were his superiors in speed, and when the men had entered upon the last lap he was compelled to give way and fall in the rear. Riley and Richards were now therefore the two leading men, and between them a fine race ensued, which terminated in Richards going in a splendid winner. WREN AND HURRELL.— On Monday, Sept 21. these men met on G. Woody's erclosed ground. Garratt- lane, Wandsworth, to walk three miles, for £ 5 a side. The betting was level, and the proprietor, in adjusting the preliminary matters, was chosen referee. The men kept well together until they went by for the commencement of the twelfth and last lap, when Wren put on some additional steam, and on the termination of the match went in a winner by more than 30 yards, the distance being done in 26min. PEDESTRIANISM AT BOW. FIELDING AND DUNN.— On Saturday, Sept 19, there was a good muster of the Metropolitans assembled on C. Wilson's enclosed grounds, the Olympia, Bow, to witness the four miles walk be- tween these men, for £ 5 a side. The betting was 5 to 4 on Field- ing, and there was a good deal of money, for a minor affair, speculated. J. Pudney, the M. C. of the ground, was chosen referee, and all being in readiness the competitors, who were in admirable fettle, came to the mark. On starting the men went away at a good pace, and kept so well together that during the whole of the first mile they were at no period more than a yard apart, the lead, as they went by the referee for the commencement of the second mile, just being in favour of Fielding. Throughout the second and third miles, the match was maintained with the greatest spirit and animation, the pedestrians proving so evenly matched in speed that, notwithstanding each in turn put on a dashing spurt and made the most strenuous efforts toobtain soine decisive advantage, they could not succeed in breaking one from the other. Thus, then, when the pedestrians entered upon the fourth and last mile, they were not more than two or three yards apart. During the whole of the fourth and last mile, the men as they had done all through, kept together, and so close a thing was it that Fielding did not go in a winner by more than two yards. HALF MILE HANDICAP.— On Monday, Sept 21, there was again a good muster assembled here to witness the above handicap for prizes given for competition by the proprietor. Those who had entered had been handicapped by J. Pudney, and were drawn to contend in the undermentioned order, viz— First heat: W. Lang from scratch, Powell 99, E. Golder 70, Tunis 107, C. Locan 108, J. Smith 120, Jerry 128, Old Spott 138. A good race, Smith the winner, Powell finishing second.— Second heat: Blake 108, H. Gardner 108, W. Loft 108, J. Chetterton 108, Shannon's Novice 120, B. Charles 120, C. Mills 125, Cheshire 125. Won by Blake, after a well- contested race, Chetterton running a good second.— Third heat: G. Davis 85, Russell 107, M. Newman 107, W. Brough 108, Crow 117, Book 118, Tuton 118, H. Johnstone 110. This race ended in favour of Book, who, leaving all the others as they neared the goal well in the rear, landed a fine winner. Newman was next.— Fourth heat: Burford 94, Burfield 99, Richardson 99, Edwards 100, R. Styles 104, Hall 107, Tyson 107, J. Cousins 107, Davis of Billingsgate 110.

Won by Vinegar, Ray finishing second— Sixth heat: Jones 109, A. Coe 110, B. Engall 110, Guy 110. Dulieu 110, J. Baines 110, Springhill 110, Brown 112, W. Davis 112, W. Finchley 117. This ended in Davis passing the goal a fine winner, Brown second.— Seventh heat: Alphick 85, Brown of Stratford 110, E. Langley 11- 5, D. Fowley 115, W. Watts 125, J. Huntley 125, Pigeon 145, Gilder's Novice ( wooden leg) 295, Thorn hill ( wooden leg) 305, Worsfold ( wooden leg) 320. Won by Langley, after a well- contested race, Brown second. — Eighth heat: Ashton 120, Wilkinson 118, Jerry 128, Mitchell 110, West 117, Brown 102. A good struggle from end to end, and Wilkinson the winner, Mitchell second. These eight successful competitors in the preliminary heats have, according to the conditions of the handicap, to run off for the prizes this day, when some fine sport may be fully expected. CITY GROUNDS, MANCHESTER. SATURDAY, SEPT 19.— MILLS AND MANOCK.— The attendance here to- day was very small, it being known that an event of greater importance, though belonging to a different pastime, had to be decided at the Copenhagen Grounds. The only match which caine off on the City Course was a race of 120 yards, for £ 25 a side, the pedestrians being E. Mills and T. Manock ( both of Roch- dale). The little betting that took place was in favour of Manock, upon whom odds of 6 to 4 were laid at start. On going away the favourite immediately began to make the running, and Mills failing to approach him throughout, Manock passed the tape an easy winner by about a couple of yards. BROWN, ROTHWELL, AND KNIGHT.— For the sweepstakes of £ 25 each, in which these men are to run 130 yards, Mr Holden has now received £ 20 each, and the final deposit is to be staked on Sept 28.

HAREW00D ARMS, LEEDS, AND NEIGHBOURHOOD- EMSLEY AND WOODROW.— The mile race between J. Emsley of Pudsey and S. Woodrow of Bowling, for £ 10 a side, was de- cided on Mondays Sept 21, at St Thomas's Grounds, Stanningley. The day being unpropitious there was a less number of people present than had been anticipated. Previous to starting, Wood- row was by his partisans considered the swifter of the two. When they had run three laps of the course, however, it was quite clear that Woodrow had not the slightest chance, and on coming up the straight he gave up, allowing Emsley to finish alone. LUMBLEY AND BROOKE.— A match to run a race has been made, for £ 15 a side, between G. Lumbley of Bramley and W. Brooke of Burley, for which Mr G.

Attenbury being stakeholder and referee. The young men engaged were W. Yates of Barton and J. Collier of Swinton. The betting opened at 7 to 4 and closed at 3 to 1 on Collier. On the pistol being fired an even start took place, but Yates soon showed in front, and upset the " pot" by winning very easily by four yards, to the consternation of the layers of the odds. CANINE.— 8. Taylor of Bolton has matched his bitch Lady against E. Humphrey's Dinah, of the same town, to run 200 yards, for £ 10 a side, here, on Oct 3, Mr A. Attenbury to be referee. Mr R.

Martin attended to his business until a few days of the match, but was in good trim, having taken care of himself. He started with a good will, and performed the first 27 miles in three hours, nine miles an hour, not bad for an " o! d- un." He completed the entire distance in 6h 17min. He was much distressed at the finish, owing, no doubt, to his over exertion in the first portion of the match. The stakes are to be given to him this evening at Mr Wilson's, Spotted Dog, Strand. BENEFIT FOR G.

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 has matched himself to shoot with Mr Beale, for £ 100 a side, at 100 sparrows each, Page giving Mr Beale four dead birds. Either party failing to attend at the Grapes on the 8th October, to enter into final arrangements, to forfeit £ 5. At Mr G. Hughes's, the North Pole, Wormwood Scrubbs, on Wednesday, Sept 30, a fat pig, weighing 14st, will be shot for, entrance 5s. If 14 enter Mr Hughes will give 10s to the second best shot. Four sucking pigs will likewise be shot for on the same day, each pig weighing 201b, at 5 sparrows each. A match at pigeons will afterwards take place between two West End gen- tlemen. Offer supplies the birds. As these are Mr Hughes's first matches he hope's all his friends will honour him with their company. At Mr Lumb's, the Lilley Arms, North End, Fulham, a great deal of shooting has taken place during the last week. On Wed- nesday, Sept 23, the Knightsbridge and Brompton Club met to shoot for their prizes ; the first, a piece of plate value £ 5, was won by Mr Leader ; second, £ 3, Mr Beaumont.

Hon Sec: Mr D. Brown. Clerk of the Course: Mr J. Hall. Judge and Clerk of the Scales: Mr T. Marshall. Starter: Mr M. Starling, jun. Of the round of meetings succeeding a week of » np « cedented excitement and din, none surely was more suited for the Turfite than Brecon, if only for its peculiarly romantic situation and sweet mountain air. In racing, however, as times, go^ theReality, like the deserving but lost- sight- of young man of elegiac memory had neither fame nor fortune on its side beyond that pertaining to a quiet country meeting, until recently more vigour was infused and prominence attained by the countenance and generosity of the noble duke, whom sportsmen all delight to honour. Signs of « • looking up " were further developed in bringing the 8 int° the Monmouth week ; in addition to which, transit bj eam though somewhat roundabout in its course now superseded the time taking pilgrimage by road. Direct railway communication will, however, be completed ere another year; though if we mistake not, only those with whom time absolutely is money will even then care to miss the old ride throiigh scenery imposing and wild, in its richest autumnal grandeur What, indeed, could surpass the panorama of the twenty miles drive from Abergavenny, heightened as it was by brilliant ana bracing weather on Monday lust, with hamlet, tower and ruin mansion, park, and woodland, glen, lake, and waterfall, dotting in succession the windings of perhaps the loveliest known valley through Cambrian bills, watered, too, by the never failing Usk, ever and anon rippling at one's side ? Scarcely, less interesting to the stranger was venerable Brecon itself, with its well- conducted and reasonably- charging hotels, public buildings and monuments, besides noble but now unoccupied barracks, contrasting happily with days gone by, when bullet and bayonet kept the hard- handed population in awe. The course, within five minutes' walk of the town, is unquestionably one of the best in W ales, having been recently improved at. its principal turn, and lying immediately in view of the spectator. Showers, reminding us of April, made the ground unpleasantly soft, but did not deter the presence of a gay attendance in four- in- hands, including many ladies, for whom shelter was especially afforded in a neat, glass- covered stand, with refectory beneath, considerately erected by that universally- esteemed supporter of this and other Welsh Meetings, Lord Ire- degar. The Breconsliire Handicap, with which the sport opened, proved a remarkably easy thing for Doncaster, with only byco- phant and Butterfly in opposition, the latter having the best of the weights, but tired in the heavy ground. OH the strength ot her Oxford running 2 to 1 and 7 to 4 was betted on Mul- berry for the Beaufort Stakes, but from the moment of start- ing she seemed unable to act in the mire, and the race, in consequence, was a mere canter for Lady Williams, ine Ladies' Plate— a handsome silver tea service, in four pieces- went to Pembrokeshire by the aid of Eeception, most spiritedly ridden by little Cook from Holman's stable, the boy's first " out in public. That a more complimentary field was not pulled out for so coveted a prize, presented exclusively by the fair sex, was the fault of the handicapper who, in adjusting the weights, evi- dently overlooked that part of the conditions making it a gentle- man's race, with extras for professional riders. In the Usk Stakes, with a couple only to beat, Past Eunner, true to her name, and purchased a few days before from Scotland, carried home Mr Morgan's colours successfully amidst general cheering. A Match, exciting a good deal of local interest, succeeded, details of which appear in the usual place, as also of the Hurdle Eace, won bv Whitehall, a good- looking three year old, with plenty of bone and substance, and enly requiring time to make a useful cross- country performer. The Stewards' banquet at the Castle Hotel in the evening was well attended, and, as usual, furnished with all the delicacies of the season, the after proceedings, however, being most flattering for the future prospect of the races, if we may judge by the number of subscribers then and there putting down their names to the principal stakes for 1864, to which the Marquis of Hastings has also accorded his patronage, Lord Uxbridge, J. Maunde, and D. Thomas, Esqs, accepting the stewardship. On Tuesday Doncaster walked over for the Borough Handicap, but later in the afternoon had the tables turned on him in the Stewards' Cup by Sycophant, who at welter weights, and an im- proved pace, ran at least a stone better animal than in their en- counter yesterday, Whitehall to- day also finishing in front of the son of Stockwell. It having been intimated prior to starting that Whitehall had incurred a penalty for his jumping success on Monday, the trainer at once submitted that it was contrary to racing law. On the other hand instances were quoted of such things occurring in Wales; so at last, on the principle of doing at Eome as Home does, the " extra" was carried, and harmony re- mained unbroken. The Nursery turned out a second easy victory for Lady Williams, who beat four others, including the Lady Constance filly, another recent purchase of Mr P. Morgan's, who, however, subsequently parted w ith her at the hammer, after win- ning the Selling Eace, and placing 45gs to the fund. An at- tempted Pree Handicap of nineteen horses resulting in palpable failure, all now left for decision was a 10 Sovs Sweepstakes, made up overnight, and ending in triumph the second for Prince and his popular owner, who received quite an ovation on returning to scale. Colocyrith, it will be seen, also ran, but overjumped him- self and fell. Sly, his rider, afterwards gravely assuring us that a haystack rather than a hurdle ought to have been in the animal's way; such also being the force with which he was shot from the pigskin, that, but for clinging to the long grass, there was no say- ing how much further he inu? t have gone spinning along ! With practised officials at the scale and the post, time was kept to a mi- nute, and visitors each day comfortably ensconced in their respect- ive hostelries by five o'clock. Altogether, it has rarely been our lot to find arrangements more complete and satisfactory, reflecting the highest credit on Mr D. Browne, the worthy painstaking secre- tary, as well as Mr J. Hall, the indefatigable clerk. As is customary in tke Principality, a grand ball terminated the proceedings, the leading patrons whereof, and assisting at. other portions of the festivity, comprised the Duke of Beaufort, Earl Uxbridge, Lord Tredegar, Hon Col F. C. Morgan, Hon G. Morgan, M. P.; Ad- miral Curzon, Sir J. Bailey, Bart, and Lady Bailey, Col and Mrs Lindsav, Colonel Graham, Capt Lloyd, Capt Batt, Capt Jones Velindre, Messrs W. E. B. Powell, P. Rowland, J. Maunde, J. B. Holford and Mrs Gwynne Holford, E. Herbert, J. Hotchkiss, — Style, J. W. Yaughan and Mrs Vaughan, W. B. Eoche, & c, several of the above being accompanied by parties of friends from the neighbourhood.

Sycophant, followed by But- terfly, cut out the work for nearly a mile, when the latter took up the running and carried it on at a fairish pace to the straight in the second and last round, whence Doncaster, who had disposed of Mr Brayley's horse some time previously, gradually closed with the leader, headed him at the half distance, and won in a canter by two lengths; bad third. The BEAUFOBT STAKES of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 50 added by his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, for two year olds; colt- s 8st 101b, fillies 8st 71b; winners extra; untrieds allowed 31b; three quarters of a mile; 15 subs.

They ran side by side for a quarter of a mile, when Eeception shot to the fore with a clear lead, but going wide at the top turn his opponent, again got on even terms, the upshot, however, being that atter racing head and head to about three distances from home Tonio tired in the dirt, and the other won easily by three lengths. The tJsiv STAKES of 5 sovs each, with SO added, for three year olds and upwards; winners extra; one mile and a half; 3 subs. Hon F. C.

Sopp 0 Mr Wood's Tonio, 5 yrs, Wat Sib ( inc 101b extra) A. Cowley 0 Betting : 5 to 2 on Fast Runner, who rushed off at score, but her rider immediately taking a pull suffered the Pet Lamb filly to come alongside, and they raced abreast for three quarters of a mile. The favourite, pulling double, was then again indulged with the command to the bottom the last time, where the young- one swerved, and went on the wrong side of a post, but kept on andmade a game fight of ltto the end, though never quite reaching Mr Morgan's mare, who was adjudged the winner by a short neck. Tonio, who started merely to secure the added money, did not pass the chair. MATCH 40 ; one mile and a half, over four hurdles. Mr W. It. B. Powell's brli Prince, aged, list 71b ( car- ried list 101b) Owner 1 Mr Ball's ch m The Yawner, lOst 71b Mr R. L.

The HUKDLE RACE STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 2"> added, for three year olds and upwards; winners extra ; two miles, over hurdles; 4 subs. Mr E.

Herbert s b h Cremorne, 4 yro, lOst 41b Mr Sumners 0 Betting: 5 to 4 agst Whitehall. Joint running was made by Bowman and Arlescott for rather more than a mile, when the latter performing unkindly ( having never done hurdles in public before), struck into the other's heels, and was all abroad after- wards. Bowman, thus quit of a troublesome companion, put on the steam, and down the far side in the last round had eight or ten lengths the best of it, there being now only Whitehall left to try conclusions with him, seeing that Cremorne, as well as Arles- cott, was early in trouble ; both, in fact, were tailed off, when at the last flight but one the favourite pitched on his head, to the immense delight of the fielders. Their tone changed, however, directly Holman commenced riding his horse in earnest, and lessening the gap at every stride, he at the straight reached Bow- man's heels, both being in the air together over the final timber, whence Whitehall drew away, and cantered in a twelve lengths' winner. TUESDAY.— The BOBOUGH HANDICAP of 10 sovs each, 7 ft, and 4 if declared, with 80 added ; winners extra; one mile and a half; 9 subs, 3 of whom pay 4 sovs each. Mr F.

Morgan's Fast Runner, by Contentment, 5 yrs, 9at 51b Judd 1 Mr Brayley's Tonio, 5 yrs, 6at 131b Hutchins 2 Betting: Any odds on Past Runner. The start was evenly ef- fected, but Tonio sticking his toe into the ground was of course left behind. His rider called out " No go," and Judd pulled up the favourite, who, the instant they were together again, went away with the lead, and won at htr leisure. The STEWARDS'CUP, value 60 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, for three year olds and upwards; winners extra; gentlemen riders; professionals 71b extra; two miles; 3 subs. Mr E.

MONMOUTH RACES. Stewards: The Earl of Annesley, Sir G. Walker, Bart; and R. Herbert, Esq. Judge and Clerk of the Scales : Mr T. Marshall. Starter: Mr'Starling, jun. Those acquainted with the peculiar characteristics of sporting reunions in Wales will readily understand how the last week of the season commenced right merrilie at Brecon on Monday, and concluded on the banks of the Monnow with even greater eclcu. Such indeed was the success assured to both places, in the presence of nearly the same distinguished company and the same tiorses, as to leave it a matter of regret that the meetings re- mained so long disunited. The trip alone by rail from ® ne locality to the other, with triumphs of engineering on all sides of no mean order, may well repay the visit of strangers, to say nothing of being finally set down in one of the most naturally- favoured and tourist- frequented spots in the kingdom. At Iroy House, during the meeting, the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort as usual entertained a party of guests, who, with most of the resi- dent nobility and gentry, drove each day to the course, which will be considerably enlarged and the turns improved by next year In the County Members' Plate Odine, the winner, made an example of her two opponents; after which Baltiarn, for the second year in succession, as easily carried off the Duke's Gold Cup. The Kymin Stakes fell to the lot of Vabalathus, a cross in the race by Cranbury having sent Esperance nearly to grass, for which Payne, the rider of the former, was carpeted before the stewards, the Earl of Uxbridge acting for Lord Annesley. The cross was at once admitted, and a plea put in tnat it was un- intentionally done in saving Cranbury herself from going out at two awkwardly stationed posts or wands, as Doncaster had done in the previous race. Edwards also spoke of the difficulty in passing the point referred to. In the Mormow Stakes, Cosette, only purchased by her present owner on Tuesday last, beat the Lady Constance filly, Nathalie, and another, affording by her sale a lift to the funds to the tune of 90 guineas. An interesting and near thing for the Chippenham Stakes resulted in favour of Lufra, as anticipated, while Wortham had no difficulty in disposing of Tonio for the Troy Plate. The little speculation on future events was confined chiefly to the Eastern Counties Handicap, for which 20 to 1 each was booked about Poland, Creole, Gem of the Sea, and Gemma, as was 100 tc 3 agst Dunkeld, the latter odds being also taken about Limosina both for the Cesarewitch and Cam- bridgeshire. THURSDAY, SEPT 24.— The COUNTY MEMBERS' PLATE of 30 sovs, added to a Handicap of 5 sovs each, for two year olds and upwards; winners 51b extra; one mile.

The BEAUFORT CUP ( Handicap) of 10 sovs each, h ft, with a piece of plate added; certain winners extra; one mile and a quarter; 20 subs, 7 of whom declared. Mr Morris's Balham, by Stockwell, 5 yrs, 8at 21b Judd 1 Mr E. Brayley's Golden Dust, 3 yrs, 7st 51b Cannon 2 Mr W. S. Cartwrlglit'a Ripon, 6 . vrs, 7st 111b J.

Edwards 0 Betting : 7 to 4 on Balham, 3 to I agst Golden Dust, and 5 to 1 agst any other. Doncaster made play, followed a length or two off by the favourite, well in whose wake at half a mile were Eipon and Golden Dust. They ran in these positions to the final bend, where Doncaster, having gone oil the wrong side of a post, was eased, and Balham took UD the running, stalled off the rush of Golden Dust at the half distance, and won, " hands down," by two lengths, with half that interval separating second and third, Eipon, a bad fourth, cantering in a long way in advance of Trumps, who whipped in throughout. The KYMIN STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 50 added, for two year olds; colts 8st 101b, fillies 8st 71b; certain penalties and allow- ances; six furlongs. LordXJxbridge's Vabalathus, bv Lambton, 8st51b.

Vabalathus jumped off with the lead, succeeded by Esperance, the latter at the curve into the bottom being passed by the favourite, who, on Judd re- attempting to go up at the straight, crossed in front, and nearly brought Esperance down on her head. She, however, quickly recovered herself, and again be- came second on Cranbury cutting it at the distance, but never reached Lord Uxbridge's colt, who won by two lengths, the fa- vourite finishing a length from the second. The MONNOW SELLING STAKES of 3 sovs each, with 20 added; for two year olds and upwards; six furlongs. Mr T. V. Morgan's Cosette, by King Tom, 2 yrs, 5st 121b ( 20 sovs) F.

Thomas's ch f The Merry Widow, 3 yrs, 7st 51b ( 20) Maidment 4 Betting: Even on Nathalie, and 2 to 1 each agst Cosette and the Lady Constance filly. Several failures were caused by the latter, who, after thrice breaking away, rushed to the front directly the flag fell, waited on by Cosette, who about a quarter of a mile from home deprived her of the lead, and won easily by two lengths; Nathalie, after a determined effort from the distance, being de- feated half a length for second; the untrained three year old, well up for half a mile, being nowhere at the finish. The winner was bought in for llOgs. The CHIPPENHAM STAKES of 10 sovs each, h ft, and 2 if declared, with 50 added; for two year olds and upwards, with penalties and allowances ; six furlongs ; 20 subs, two of whom declared Mr F.

Tonio cut out the work, suc- ceeded by the others abreast for three quarters of a mile, when the favourite dropped into the rear ; he. however, came again and raced with Tonio to the bottom the last time, quitted him within the distance, and won by three lengths; Whitehall finishing two lengths from Tonio.

Stewards : The Eight Hon Lord Binning, James Merry, of Bel- ladrum, M. P. ; William A. Woodrop, of Elsrickle ; and James Hunter, of Auldhouseburn, Esqs. Judge; Mr James Turner, jun. Starter: Mr James Boston. Clerk of the Course: Mr John Currie. Lanark Meeting, said to have been established by " William the Lion" in the early part of the twelfth century, was for a long period unknown in the annals of racing, the " Lammer Day" Yeomanry Eaces, or such other local " little sports" being all that the natives of the Upper Ward were privileged to witness on their own beautiful course ; on the Town Moor; but thanks to the praiseworthy zeal of Councillor Currie, the legitimate was revived once more somewhere about fifteen years ago, and under Mr Currie's paternal care as Clerk^ of the Course it lias continued to maintain a position in the Calendar through both evil and good report. It is no doubt to be regretted that the wealthiest and largest county in Scotland does not contribute more liberally towards the support of the Lanark and Airdrie Meetings ; yet, notwithstanding the limited means placed at the disposal of the Lanark C. C. and committee, they were fortunate in draw- ing together for the present festivities a very fair musterof horses, including a few from t'other side of the border. The weather,' however, on both days turned out unfavourable, the rain falling at intervals in torrents, thus considerably limiting the attendance of spectators, and somewhat damping the ardour of those plucky- enough to brave the elements. The first day's proceedings opened with the Trial Stakes, for which only two out of the five entered came to the post, Weat. herwise defeating Teddy rather easily. The Burgh Members' Plate produced four starters, and the fa- vouritism was nearly equally divided between Lothians' King and Bohemian, the winner turning up in the latter, who had it all his own way at the finish.

( BY TELEGRAM THROUGH MR BEUTER'S OFFICE.) PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 25. The Union Company's steamer Cambrian, with the above mail, arrived here this morning. She left Table Bay on the 20th ult, St Helena on the 29tli ult, and Ascension on the 2d inst. She brings 58 passengers and £ 830 in specie. The Cape Parliament was prorogued on July 28. The Governor had announced his intention of summoning the next Parliament to assemble at Graham's Town. He was to leave Cape Town for Graham's Town in the course of a few weeks. Great excitement prevailed at Cape Town in consequence of this arrangement. A very large and influential meeting was held on Aug 17, at which a long series of speeches were made, and a strong memorial to the governor against the removal of the Par- liament from the metropulis of the colony was adopted. The im- pression in the colony is that Governor Wodehouse has made this change to conciliate the eastern members, and a strong party in the house were destermined to oppose him, because they consider all the difficulties would have been got over by the establishment of a responsible Government. The elections for the House of Assembly take place in Novem- ber. The Legislative Council will not be dissolved. THE ALABAMA. ( By Telegram through Mr Reuter's Office, per the Cambrian.) CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, AUG 20. The whole colony had cause of great excitement in the visit of the Confederate war steamers Alabama and Georgia. The Ala- bama captured in full sight of thousands of the colonists a fine Federal bark, the Sea Bride, as she was running into Table Bay. The Georgia was in Simon's Bay when the Cambrian left. The Alabama had been repairing in Saldana Bay. She then visited Table Bay and Simon's Bay, and was still on the coast cruising. The Confederate cruiser Tuscaloosa, formerly the bark Conrad, captured by the Alabama, and armed and manned by Captain Semmes, had also visited Simon's Bay. The Alabama had cap- tured altogether 56 vessels and the Georgia 15. The Alabama was visited by hundreds of colonists, who crowded her decks during her stay. They were received most cordially by her officers, and the most kindly feeling prevailed towards Cap- tain Semmes and his crew. The United Sta'es' Consul pro- tested against the capture of the Sea Bride on the ground that British waters extended to the range of an Armstrong cannon shot from shore, and claimed tbe delivery of the Tuscaloosa to himself, as the official agent of the owners of the Conrad. He grounded his claim on the fact that, being a prize, and not having seen condemned by a court of any recognised country, her entrance into a British port was a violation of the Queen's procla- mation, and that she had, therefore, reverted to her real owners. The Governor decided adversely to both demands, and against the decisions. The consul formally protested in the name of his Government. He also complained that the original cargo of the Tuscaloosa had been sold to merchants of Cape Town, and that the cargo of the Sea Bride would be disposed of in the same manner. The weather at the Cape continued tine. The season was most prolific. H. M. 8. Valorous left on the evening of Aug 19, for Saldana Bay, to observe the movements of the Confederate squadron. There is said to be every probability of the squadron making a large number of further captures in the vicinity of the Cape. The Federal war steamer Vanderbilt left St Helena Aug 20. She was said to be in pursuit of the Alabama. The remainder of Mr Hewett's yearlings, unsold by Mr Tatter sail, were disposed of by private contract at Doncaster as under:— Gibside, bay or brown colt by The Cure out of Lady Hawthorn ( sister to Thormanby), to Mr M. Dawson, for 300gs; Elsinore ( h b), brawn filly, by Leamington out of Polly Johnson's and Birdhill's dam, by Melbourne, to Mr T. S.

EXPLOSION OF THREE GUNPOWDER MILLS.— On Saturday morning last the inhabitants of Hounslow and the surrounding neighbourhood were awoke about half- past two o'clock by a tre- mendous explosion. The close proximity of the mills of Messrs Harvey and Curtis, gunpowder manufacturers, at once led to the belief that they were the cause of the alarm, and in a few mo- ments after the fearful noise was heard, numbers of the inhabi- tants rushed towards the locality of the mills to render assistance should it be required. The scene of the explosion turn ed out to be three of the incorporating mills of the firm above mentioned, which had blown up, as is usually the case in such calamities, in the most unaccountable manner. 8earch and inquiry was at once set on foot to ascertain whether any lives' had been lost, but fortunately only one person was at all injured, as two of the mills had been stopped work for a short time owing to scarcity of water. The property destroyed is said to be very great. The following is a copy of the report of the manager of the works, which was transmitted to the head of the firm in the City:—" Gentlemen: Three of the incor- porating mills at Bedfont blew up this morning at half- past two o'clock. One person was burnt by the accident. Of the three mills blown up one was on that part of the works called the ' Lower Head.' Two of them were not in work at the time, the process having ceased, owing to the want of water. The explo- sions were loud, and the building much damaged." The follow- ing has been sent bjr Messrs Curtis. Harvey, and Co, the pro- prietors of the mills in question:—" Three of the incorporating mills at the Bedfont Gunpowder Works exploded 011 Saturday morning. Sept 19, about two o'clock, but fortunately no person was injured. Two of the mills were standing still, and the third only working upon the ingredients before milled into powder, which prevented the accident assuming any more serious form than a loud report." DISEASED MEAT.— At, Clerkenwell police court, on Thursday, John Jarvis, a carrier at Northampton, was summoned before Mr Barker, charged with bringing two diseased carcases of beef to London prepared for human food. Mr Hopwood, solicitor to the sanitary board for the parish of St Andrews, attended for the prosecution. From the evidence it appeared that Hilliard, street- keeper of St Sepulchre's, received some information that induced him to go and meet the defendant and his cart, and found it loaded with meat, some of which smelt very bad, and he should say that it was quite unfit for human food. It was dressed in the manner in which meat was prepared for the London market. He followed it as far as White Hart- yard, and there saw the meat seized. It was in a very bad state, some of it being green, and very diseased. It smelt as if the animals had been doctored and had taken drugs. The meat was in hampers, and when it was seized it was brought to the court and condemned. That which was produced in court was very thin and flabby, and contained a quantity of dropsical matter. The defendant was in the habit of bringing meat to LonSon.— Dr Septimus Gibbons, the medical officer of health, proved that the meat was quite unfit for human food. Persons partaking of it would be liable to carbuncle aud derangement of the bowels.— The defendant said he could not deny that he had brought the meat to London, but it was not intended for human food, but for the boilers or dealers in cats' meat. He called a wit- nesl to prove that fact.— Mr Barker considered the case fully prored, and ordered the defendant to pay a fine of £ 10, or in de- fault two calendar months' hard labour iu the House of Correction. — The fine was paid. DEATH OF REAR- ADMIRAL WASHINGTON.— Bear- Admiral John Washington, late hydrographer to the British Admiralty, expired at Havre 011 Wednesday. He entered the navy on May 15, 1812, as a first class volunteer on board the Jnno, of 46 guns, Capt Jas. Sanders, fitting for the North American station, where he took pait in many operations in the river Chesapeake, assisted in making prizes of several of the enemy's vessels ari'l contributed to th « completediscomfiture of 15 gunboats that had been despatched for the express purpose of capturing the J uno, after an action of thiee hours, fought 011 June 20, 1S13. On the retirement of Eear- Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort, in 1855, he was elevated to the re- sponsible office of h> di'ographer to the Admiralty, and subse- quently attained the rank of rear- admiral. He was a member of various learned societies, and is the author of many papers of a scientific and useful character. TIIE AGAPEMONE.— We understand that the proceedings insti- tuted some time since in the Court of Chancery by our worthj- mayor, Mr J. L. Bulleid, on behalf of the Eev Lewis Price, of Glistonbury, against the defendant, Mr Prince, of the Agape- mune, for the recovery of a considerable amount of money, have have been brought to a very successful termination. It appears that the case was originally placed in the hands of another solici- tor in the neighbourhood, who failed to accomplish anything satisfactory to his client, and obliged the Eev Lewis Price to dis- pense with his services and place the case in the hands of Mr Bul- leid, his present solicitor. Whereupon the necessary steps were at once taken and a bill of complaint was filed against the de-' fendant, which compelled him to abandon his defence, come to terms, and restore the whole of the property, with the exception of a. certain amount of interest which had accrued upon it since the plaintiff had left the Agapemone, a claim which he relin- quished in consideration of compensating advantages arising from an immediate compliance with his demand. A satisfactory set- tlement of the property has since been executed by the Court of Chancery, in pursuance of application to that effect made in the plaintiff's bill. It is credibly reported that these and other pro- ceedings of the plaintiff have told with disastrous effect upon Prince's system of religious tyranny and imposture, and given it themost serious check it has received.— Sherborne Journal. ALARMING FIRE AT OXFORD.— TWO LIVES LOST — On Satur- day night last, about twelve o'clock, the shop of Mr Verey, tailor, in Corn Market- street, was discovered to be on fire, and in a short spaceof time the flames extended on the left to the extensive shop and premises of Messrs Grimbly, Hughes, and Dewe, wholesale and retail grocers and provision merchants, and the shop and pre- mises of Mr Alderman Browning, ironmonger : and on the right to the front and back premises of Messrs C. and W. Park, wine and spirit merchants. The flames spread" with fearful rapidity, and as some time elapsed before a supply of water could be obtained, owing to the distance of the waterworks from the city, the fire had obtained such a mastery that at one time it was feared that all the adjacent houses on each side would be sacrificed. Five or six powerful engines were on the spot without loss of time, and there being then a good supply of water and of hands, the fire was ultimately confined to a smaller space than any one anti- cipated. The whole of Messrs Grimbly's premises, with the excep- tion of some warehouses at the back, are entirely destroyed. Mr Alderman Browning's shop and premises, as well as those of Messrs C and W. Park, are gutted and in ruins, so that the whole of them must be rebuilt. Between seven and eight o'clock on Monday morning a chimney- stack on Messrs Grimbly's pre- mises unexpectedly fell, and buried several men engaged in extinguishing the fire. Three of these were extricated, and taken to the infirmary ; two have since died, and the other lies in a very critical state. So destructive a fire, involving such an amount of valuable property, has hardly ever occurred before at Oxford. The chief loss will fall on the Sun Fire Office, where Messrs Grimbly's immense and costly stock is insured. AMERICA. ( Per the Africa, via Eoche's Point, Sept 25, 9: 55 p. m.) NEW YORK, SEPT 15. Confederate accounts from Charleston to the 11th state that a steady fire upon Morris Island was maintained by both the Confederate batteries, for the purpose of rendering Forts Wagner and Gregg untenable to the Federals. A service magazine in Gregg had been exploded by a shell from James Island. General Beauregard's official report of the repulse of the boat attack upon Sumter, dated the 9th, states that the captures were 113 officers and privates, four boats, and three flags. The Federal transport Nellie Pentz, from Hilton- head on the lltli, reports that news had been received at that port of the cap. ture of one- half of James Island b}' the Federals. The captain of the Nellie Pentz states that when he passed Charleston bar, at 4 p. m. on the 12th, a white flag was flying over Moultrie. General Gihnore is reported by the Washington Republican to have asked instructions from the Government as to the expedi- ency of destroying Charleston if he could not capture the forts that defend it, and to have been informed in reply that he was to bombard the city until it surrendered. General Lee has fallen back from the line of the Eappahannock towards Gordonsville. General Pleasanton, with a cavalry force, advanced on the 13th, and after sharp skirmishing, in which he lost 40 men in killed and wounded, took possession of Culpepper, capturing three cannon and a few prisoners. On the 14th he moved forward to the Eapidan River, but, finding the Confederates strongly posted on the opposite bank, he refrained from crossing. An extra session of the Virginia Legislature was convened at Eichmond on the 9th. Eesolutions offered by Mr Collier, of Petersburg, to send Commissioners to the Governors of the Federal gtates to demand that the question of peaceable separation be submitted to the people of the North through the medium of the ballot- box, were unanimously voted down. A letter in the JNeio York Daily News, dated Eichmond, Sep- tember 11, states that the abandonment of Chattanooga, Knox- ville, and the strongly fortified positions in the Cumberland Mountains by General Bragg is severely commented on and con- sidered entirely inexplicable. The same letter announces that a messenger from General Forey, in Mexico, had arrived in Eich- mond, and held long interviews with President Davis and Secre- taries Sedden and Benjamin; that a Cabinet Council had speedily followed, and that it, was confidently asserted the messenger was the bearer of overtures of alliance from the French Emperor. Governor Vance, of North Carolina, in an appeal to the people of his State to sustain its honour in the struggle for the establish- ment of the Confederacy and the maintenance of liberty, de- nounced the weakheartedness that had been exhibited in the holding of peace meetings, and the spirit of insubordination evinced in the threats of resistance to the conscription and taxa- tion law. He gave warning that such proceedings and intentions must be renounced, and declared that so long as he remained in the executive every enactment of the Confederate authority should be rigidly enforced. Mr Seward, in a circular issued 011 the 12th ult to the Federal Ministers abroad, which was yesterday published in this city, re- capitulated the military operations from August, 1862, to August, 1863. He alleges that the advantages in every conflict during that period had been with the Federals, and that the results proved that the end of the rebellion was rapidly approaching. He di- rected the Ambassadors to use the facts so set forth in the most effective manner, to convince those who desired the renewal of commercial prosperity through the restoration of peacein America that the quickest method to gain that end would be to withdraw all support fr ® m the Confederates, and leave the people of the United States to settle their own difficulties. President Lincoln will immediately issue a proclamation sus- pending the writ of habeas corpus in all cases arising in the mili' tary and naval service. This matter, it is understood, was con- sidered and resolved upon at the Cabinet meeting held yesterday at Washington. FiV CITY INTELLIGENCE. MONEMRY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. The prevailing firmness of the discount market contradicts the many predictions that, ere this time money would be cheaper and the rates less oneroug. The activity displayed in all our manu- facturing districts, the expenditure on account of the harvest operations in the northern parts of the country, the withdrawal by the Indian Government of some one or two million pounds lent out <. n loans, and the enlarged exportation of silver to the East to pay for cotton, have all contributed their quota to quicken the demand for accommodation, and to diminish the available balances. The corollary to this state of things is that when the temporary influences narrated above shall have passed away, and the October dividends have been paid and haveassisted to augment the floating capital, competition will again be excited, and the mercantile community be enabled to transact business on easier terms. Meanwhile the rates out- of- doors for all descriptions of paper approximate very closely to the official minimum, and the consequence has been that a large proportion of the current bills have been taken to the discount office of the Bank of England, where the other securities have been aug- mented during the week by £ 308,869. At the Stock Exchange active speculation has been in progress in the foreign depart- ment and in Joint Stock Bank Shares, and the rise in many of the favourite kinds has been great and rapid. The English de- partment and Railway Shares have offered less attractiohs, and they have, therefore, remained dull and inanimate. Consols closed yesterday vFriday) afternoon at 93j f for niney, arid at 93| \ for the account. During the past week business in the Foreign Stock Market has continued active, and prices have undergone considerable variation, particularly as regards Mexican Bonds, which at one time advanced 1 per cent, but have since slightly reacte^ tUuj » ing to speculative sales. Greek Bonds have declined about jfteia the Coupons Spanish Passive Bonds j, Old Turkish Six per Cents have receded the Loan of 1858 J, the Loan of 1862 i and the Consolides | to The Confederate Cotton Loan remains at aboufc previous quotations. The dealings in the Railway Share Market during the week have been very limited, and prices have not varied to any im- portant extent. Lancashire and Yorkshire and North Western have declined 5s, while Great Western, Midland, and North Eastern ( Berwick) have improved 5s, Great Northern A Stock 10s, and 8outh Eastern £ 1. In the foreign and colonial markets there has been a moderate amount of business negotiated, without, however, any great, change in prices. Joint Stock Bank and Mis- cellaneous shares have been in fair request, and enhanced rates have been realised for several of the principal undertakings. SATURDAY. There is no alteration in the Money Market to- day, the demand being active, and the quotations firm. The Funds have continued dull and heavy, Consols closing at 9- 3j | for money, and 93f J for account. In the] foreign department Turkish Consolides have re- covered about f per cent, viz, to 54Spanish Passive, after being depressed at 36g f, were 36f J. The Confede. rate Loan is 28 26 discount, or 2 per cent better. Greek have appeared flat at 37g f, and the Coupons have continued at 17f 18J. In the Railway Share Market rather less firmness has pre- vailed, several of the principal undertakings closing about 10s lower. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares generally support previous quotations. Letters from New Orleans of the 28th report that General Wash- burne, with 17 regiments, was to leave that city for the Eio Grande on the following day, and that many other troops had al- ready been sent forward to the same destination. On Saturday, the 12th inst, an attempt to hang the Hon D. W. Voorhees, member of Congress from Indiana, and a distinguished member of the Democratic party, was made by a party of soldiers belonging to his own state, who were travelling in the same train with him between Terre Haute and Greencastle. He was rescued by the officers in command, but compelled to leave the train to avoid further violence. Of the 40,000 voters in the city of Baltimore, 34,000 are asserted to sympathise with the 8outh, and to be only Kept from overt acts of disloyalty by the operation of martial law as administered by General Schenck. There is 110 truth in the report that General Pemberton, the defender of Vicksburg, had been assassinated by Texan or other soldiers. The general is still in the South. The election in Maine, which took place yesterday, resulted in favour of the Republican candidates. ( Per Africa, via Halifax and Queenstown.) NEW YORK, SEPT 17. The statements of the reduction of Fort Moultrie and the occu- pation of a portion of James Island by the Federals, brought by the Nellie Pentz on the loth, have been contradicted by later ar- rivals from Charleston. Confederate accounts of the 14th and 15th state that the Fede- rals were perfecting arrangements for the permanent occupation of Morris Island, and were erecting a telegraph line along the coast from Tybee Island to Cummings Point. It is reported from Washington ( asserted to be upon good authority) that General Gilmore has tendered his resignation to the President in consequence of a disagreement between himself and Admiral Dahlgren, and that Mr Lincoln will not accept it, but is meditating the replacement of Admiral Dahlgren by Ad- miral Fariagut. General Pleasanton was still unable to effect a crossing of the Eapidan on the 16th. Various statements are made of the intentions of General Lee. It is asserted by some that his retreat is merely a ruse by which he designs to draw General Meade across the Eapidan, and then by rapid flank movements himself to recross both the Eapidan and Rappahannock, interpose his forces between General Meade and Washington, and march directly upon that city. On the other hand, it is positively averred that the bulk of his army, with the exception of 40,000 men left in Virginia for the defence of Richmond, has been sent to Tennessee to co- operate with Generals Bragg arid Johnstone against Generals Rosecrans and Burnside. The New Orleans correspondent of the St Louis Republican, under date of the 3d inst, states that 10,000 troops of the Rio Grande expedition had already gone forward by sea, and that an- other division had been sent off overland via tile Teche country. The President's proclamation suspending the habeas corpus throughout the United States was issued on the 15th. Great in- dignation against the edict is manifested by the Democratic journals. The Daily News says " We must not lose our writ of habeas corpus. The intention of the proclamation must be defeated at every hazard— by remonstrance, by argument, by entreaty, or by force even, if that be necessary.'' The Republican journals approve the proclamation. The public generally treat the matter with the greatest unconcern. Total .. 0 b C. James ... b Jones . 2 st Webb, b C.

P.— TheRight Hon Edward Ellice, M. P. for Coventry, died suddenly at Ardochy on Thursday morning, Sept 17. Mr Ellice had long retired from official life, and had not been ostensibly engaged in Ministerial struggles for the last thirty years. He was born in 1787, and was the son of Mr Alexander Elfice, a merchant in the City. Edward Ellice had for some time a connection with trade, and had a con- siderable share in the Huds « n's Bay Company, besides being a proprietor in Canadian and West Indian lands. MURDER IN NORFOLK.- A shocking murder has been com- mitted at Elsing, near East Dereham, Norfolk. The victim was an infirm old woman, partially blind, lame, and deaf, while the perpetrator of the crime was her husband, an able- bodied man in the full vigour of life It appears that the murdered woman's name is Charlotte Naylor, her husband being James Naylor, an agricultural labourer, in full employment. There was a difference of about 30 years in their ages, the murdered woman being 81 and her husband 51 years of age. The cottage in which Naylor and his wife lived is situated in a row, and the adjacent dwellings on each side are occupied by two brothers named Isbell During Sunday evening and Monday morning Naylor was heard by these brothers making a great noise, such ejaculations as " Oh, my heavenly Father !" " My blessed Father !" " My blessed Jesus 1" & c., being distinguished. He continued to conduct himself in a very excited manner, but 011 being remonstrated with by Mr Mat- thews, a farmer in the parish. he delisted During the remainder of Monday afternoon he continued quiet; bat when Charle- I> bell and his wife retired to rent they heard Mrs Naylor speaking to her husband, and asking him if he was going to bed, and shortly afterwards a light was seen in their bedroom, and all seemeel quiet for the night. After the lapse of about an hour, however, Isbell and his wife were awoke by strange noises proceeding from Naylor's bedroom, and immediately afterwards they heard Mrs Naylor cry out, " Oh, James, don't hurt me." Then fol- lowed a loud shriek, succeeded by a heavy rumbling noise, as if something were being rolled or dragged downstairs; then came another shriek and then a dead silence. The suspicions of the neighbours being excited, some of them forced an entrance into the house in the morning, when a horrid spectacle presented itself. At the foot of the stairs lay the poor old woman in her night- dress, marks of fearful violence being apparent. Her night- dress was in disorder. The body itself was partially doubled up, and the head and arms bore marks of the most cruel savagery; while one leg was broken just above the ankle. Marks of blood wt- re evident on the person of the deceased, and there was a small pool of blood where the body lay. Upon further examination it was discovered that across the bedroom and down the stairs there was a blood track, clearly exhibiting the course in which the husband had dragged his victim. On a post mortem examination being made by Mr G. Taylor, surgeon, of Mattishall. more extensive injuries were discovered. Two ribs were found broken 011 one side and six on the other, injuring the pleura ; while severe contused wounds were apparent on the head and temple. How these wounds were inflicted and whether any weapon was used still remains a mystery. With regard to the motive for the crime, it appears that the old woman had secreted a small sum of money (£ 2 17s 6d), with which she intended to pay her rent, and that she had a dispute and struggle with her husband about it. When The prisoner was apprehended, he ascribed the dreadful deed to a desire " to obey his heavenly Father," and it is considered by some that he is suffering from religious monomania. The facts have been investigated before a coroner's jury, and Naylor has been committed for trial on a charge of wilful murder. Loss OF A HULL STEAMER AND SEVEN LIVES.— Intelligence has been received in Hull of the total loss of the screw steamer Zealand, a tine vessel of 700 tons register, the property of Messrs Bailey and Leetham, shipowners, Hull, with seven of her crew, during a storm in the Baltic, on the 11th of September. The ill- fated vessel was 011 her passage from Konigsberg to London with a cargo of oats, and had on board, in addition to a crew of 14 men, 12 passengers. During the progress of the vovage, on the 11th of September, and when distant about 40 miles from the Horn reefs, the Zealand was caught by a heavy gale of wind from the W. N. W. There was also a very heavy sea, and the vessel, owing to the light nature of her cargo, rolled very much. One of her engines broke down, when all sails were set, and the remaining engine was kept in motion, but, of course, the progress of the steamer was seriously impeded. The second engine soon broke down, and the vessel becoming unmanageable, she was left to the mercy of the raging seas. This latter mishap was accompanied with one of far more serious consequences, for the engine in its fall started one of the iron plates iru- the ship's hull, and caused a con- siderable leakage. Water was fast gaining on the vessel, the fires were quenched, and the position of the Zealand appeared hopeless. The boats were then lowered, and the mate ( Mr Walker), the chief engineer ( J. Spiby), carpenter ( J. Andsell), and four of the crew, named J. Brenton, E Morris, W. Page, and W. Andsell, and twelve passengers, left the steamer, and were received safely on board the Norwegian bark Christina, which vessel was luckily in sight about three quarters of a mile distant from the Zealand. Captain Lewis and six of the crew of the Zealand remained on board that vessel, in order to save some valuables and await the return of the boats. The mate, as soon as he had placed the passengers on board the Christina, endeavoured to return to the Zealand, but owing to the violence of the gale, it was found to be impracticable. The bark attempted to approach the Zealand, but as she was lightly laden, she was driven con- siderably off' to the leeward^ and as the night set in she lost sight of the steamer. During t- Hfe njght, however, the men on board the Christina observed that* rockets and blue lights were being fired periodically as signals of distress from the Zealand, but at length they suddenly ceased, and nothing more was seen or heard of her. The bark waited about during the night, and when morn- ing broke not a vestige was to be seen of the ill- fated steamer. The Christina made sail for Laurvig, in Jutland, where she landed the crew and passengers that were saved. A NARROW ESCAPE.— As a cavalry regiment were exercising on, the Champ- de- Mars on Friday, a lady, in attempting to cross the grounds, contrary to orders, was suddenly surprised by a charge of several squadrons at full gallop. An opening in the first line was made for her to pass, but losing her presence of mind, she rushed in the way of the horses of the second line. She was thrown down, and the whole of the horses leaped over her, but without touching her, and the charge having passed, she was picked up, and found to have sustained no serious injury.— Galig nani. THE METROPOLITAN EAILWAV.— On Tuesday, at the Sheriffs' Court, Red Lion- square, before Mr Under- Sheriff Burchell and a special iury, a compensation case, " Samuel v Metropolitan Rail- way Company," occupied nearly the whole day. Mr Lush, Q. C., Mr Hunter, and Mr Day were for the claimants, Messrs Samuel, artificial florists, in Chaterhouse- square; Mr Sergeant Parry and Mr Holloway were for the company. As originally proposed the claim was £ 18,000 and upwards. The company offered £ 2,000, which was refused, and the claim as submitted to the jury was £ 7,700. Several witnesses were called. The claimants employed 100 hands, and had a very extensive business. They held an un- expired lease of 21 years at £ 87 a year. Property had increased in value in the neighbourhood in consequence of the several pro- jects. Mr Sergeant Parry mentioned the fact that the Metro- politan Extension line was most, expensive, being at the rate of one million per mile. The learned Urider- Sheriff placed the case before the jury as one for fair compensation, but not for a " profit.'' The jury, after some deliberation, assessed thedamages at £ 2,250. TIIE PNEUMATIC SYSTEM OF CONVEYING PARCELS AND LET- TERS.— On Wednesday, by direction of the directors of the com- pany formed for the above purpose, a number of men were em- ployed in Seymour- street, Euston- square, adjoining the Euston- tquare terminus, in placing the pipes which will be used in the conve3Tance of parcels, & c. The pipes, which are made of cast iron, are about three feet in depth and three feet in width. It is intended that they shall join the line already laid down, and will continue it to the General Post Office, the effect of which will be that, when once in operation, the transmission of letters, & c, by this mode of conveyance will supersede that by means of the mail carriages. This will cause not only a great saving of time, but it will also diminish the number of vehicles in the public thorough- fares. It is intended to adopt the same plan at all railways if the above line succeeds. THE MARKETS- CORN EXCHANGE, M ARK- LANE.— FRIDAY. The receipts of home grain and flour at Mark- lane this week have beeu limited ; and the imports from foreign ports have been equally so. The attendance of buyers wa- rather thin to- day, and the demand for Wheat was quite at Monday's fall of 2s toSs per qr on English, and la to 2s 01 foreign. Tfce Fiour trade was steady at, Monday's reduction of is per sack. Barley was in slow request at Monday's decline of Is t2s per qr. The best de; criptions of Oats were rather in better sale than at the beginning of the week, but inferior were dull. Beans and 1' eas were steady at former rates. There has been a large supply of English Wheat at the majodty of the country markets this week, and again, as we anticipated iu our last repor, farmers have been com- pelled to accept another reduction of Is to 2s, and in some places 3sper qr, without any disposition 011 the part of buyers to get into stock. Barley has very generally declined is per qr; while Oats aud Flour have been against sellers. Other articles are about the same as last week. The harvest is now brought to a conclusion, even in the most dis- tant part of the United Kingdom, and the result is most gratifying.— Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, old white, ass u.) 4os; ditto, new, 41 s to 47s; ditto, old red, 4is to 43s; ditto, new, lis to 449; Sorfolk, Liucoinsiilre, and Yorkshire, 41a to 43s.

POTATO MARKETS.— The supply of home- produce at the Borough and Spitalfields tills week has been plentiful from the liome- groweis,. and the quality generally this year is turning out very superior.
