East London, including In its extent nearly one half the metropolis, has never enjoyed the advantages of a bank devoted to its service and located in the centre of Its operations. Eastward of a line drawn, north and south, across Fenchurcti- street, there is not, with the exception of three branches, one private or public bank Yet this district is commercially distinguished from West Lon- don by the vast shipping interest of the Thames— the Docks— the great produce markets of Mincing- lane, Mark- lane, and neighbouring locali- ties— the chief manufacturers— and an industrial population of upwards of one million. „ ,, ,, , East Loudon, therefore, both in respect of its wealth and the magni- tude of its transactions, requires the aid which the " r^> n< inn Hank" is designed to afford. , The bank does not propose to introduce or adopt any unusual modes of business ; it will rather continc itself to the practice of those soundly constituted establishments whose success has acquired for Joint Stock Banks the reputation of being solid and most lucrative institutions. The surplus trading capital of East London far exceeds in amount that of West London. Deposits and banking balances, which constitute the real capital of a bank and the sources of its profits, will therefore be abundantly available for the requirements of the immense business of lhTheSpresent share capital of the " East London Bank" is of moderate but sufficient amount. It is now well understood that all a bank can gain by capital is credit, and when its capital is large enough to put that upon a BOlid basis, it is as large as the occasion requires. More would only iead, proportionately, with its excess, to the diminution of dividends. The measure of success to be attained by the " East London Bank" may be anticipated a3 certain to equal, at least, the greatest yet achieved. Considering the extent, wealth, and growing Importance of the commercial half ot London, and its want of a local bank, it cannot be otherwise than large. Banking stock is the most remunerative of investments. The bunks of the western half of London are earning dividends of from ten to twenty- live per cent, per annum, besides making large additions to their guarantee funds. Profits of this amount, obtained in the midst of competition, will be more readily earned in East London, where rivalry scarcely exists, and where commerce is developed through the largest aggregate of mercantile trade in the world.

Oakley ever sent out, aud he can with the utmost confidence assert that, from information daily receiving direct from the stables, and other important sources, he believes his choice will win easily. Let all, then, get on while good prices are to be obtained. C. Oakley is determined his friends shall win again a capital stake at Newmarket, and this they certainly will do if they invest freely on his choice. And now, to the sporting public gene- rally, he would say fail not to obtain information at once from a genuine and reliable source, for it is an acknowledged fact a man cannot sub- stantially increase his income without thoroughly good and honest advice; indeed, a backer constantly requires the assistance of a com- petent and experienced adviser, who can detect" dead ' uns ;" by the bye, there are a precious lot of them in the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire, horses as safe as if they were boiled; and is in a position to learn, and that quickly too, the result of all important trials, also whether the right money Is going on, Ac. For C. Oakley's constant brilliant success on the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire, and his many other glorious vic- tories this and past years, he begs to refer to Bell's Life. In this valua- ble paper are recorded his triumphs. Ilis success as a Turf adviser has been indeed truly astonishing ; the immense patronage he is honoured with is alone a proof of the brilliant character of his advice. C. Oakley, in returning his sincere thanks to liis old subscribers and friends for their continued support, begs to assure them their liberal patronage is fully appreciated, and they may rest assured no effort shall be wanting on his part to justify their continued confidence. C. Oakley would assure that portion of the sporting public who bave not yet tried his advice that his information will be found on trial of that sound and genuine character which always characterises it, and has been the means of procuring him a reputation unrivalled in the sporting world. Terms : To end of season, 5s; any single race, 13 stamps. C. OAKLEY, 52, Red Lion- street, Holborn, London. N. B. C. Oakley begs distinctly to state he issued no advice as to the Great Eastern Railway Handicap or any other race for the Newmarket First October Meeting, just concluded. It is well known to all his sub- scribers and friends who applied to him for advice on this meeting that he in every instance most positively yet respectfully declined giving it, for reasons he stated at tho time, particularly recommending all who honoured him with applications to entirely reserve their Investments for the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire. C. Oakley is confining his attention solely to these great autumn handicaps, on which his success year after year has been astonishing and unrivalled, and begs to inform the sporting public he will issne information on no other races until these important events have been decided. C. Oakley can conscien- tiously affirm he firmly believes he has another Hartington for his friends this season. It is well known C. Oakley stuck to Hartington for the Cesarewitch last vear, through evil and good report, with undiminished confidence, up to the last moment. Address C.

The Attorney- General has resigned his office, in consequence of continued ill- health rendering it impossible for him to continue to discharge its arduous duties. His conduct in it has been such as to create a sincere feeling of regret for his retirement. He had raised himself by his talents and learning to a high station, and ; he cause of the present disappointment of his just ambition i excites the sympathy of all. It seems from the announcement j in the Globe that Sir W. Atherton has refused the office of puisne Baron of the Exchequer. This rather indicates that he thinks his health worse than had been anticipated; or ( a much happier belief) that, though it compels him to present retirement, he expects to be able, at no distant period, to resume the active duties 0f his profession, and again to become a competitor for its highest honours. The latter, as by far the more agreeable supposition, is that which we accept. Sir Roundell Palmer ( the Solicitor- General) succeeds to the office of Attorney- General. His career has been singularly dis- tinguished. He has had the proud satisfaction of being taken from the Conservative ranks to be made the law officer of a Whig Cabinet, not retracting, or affecting to retract, any of his previously declared political tendencies. This may show how little real difference there is between the Conservatives and the Whigs, but it is undoubtedly a proud thing for an individual to be, in such a way, the means of attesting the fact. Sir K. Palmer was much more than a mere lawyer, or such an event could never have happened to him. He has a brilliant career open to him. The office of Solicitor- General has been conferred on Mr J. P. Collier, member for Plymouth. He is in politics a consistent Liberal, and has long been known as an earnest law reformer. He is very popular in the profession, and will be accompanied in his elevation with the good wishes of all who know him. Mr Sergeant Pigott is to be the new Baron of the Exchequer, in the room of Sir James Wilde. He. too, is a Liberal in politics, but, of course, will now be known rather for his abstinence from politics than for interference with them. His appointment gives good hope of affording satisfaction, for he has always exhibited that patient and pains- taking temper which is one of the most needful of the recommendations to a seat on the judicial bench.

It has been said by one more cunning than wise that speech was given to man to conceal his thoughts. The saying was a proof of the moral insincerity of the utterer. We are happy to believe that our own English statesmen but seldom pretend to ac' on the supposed maxim. But it would sometimes be quite as well if they were a little more prudent in the use of their oppor- tunities of speech, or if they would a little more fully consider the position in which they stand, their own conduct and inten- tions, and how far these may be reconciled with the words which they are about to utter. And the necessity for doing this is pecu- liarly applicable to Earl Russell. He has just uttered a speech in Scotland, which has been seized upon by all the journals of Paris as marking a settled resolution of English diplomacy with regard to Poland. Would that the construction put upon Earl Russell's speech by the Paris journals were the true one ; but we have too much reason to fear that it, is not. Now, if the Paris journals were like the London journals, the mere exponents of the opinions of thoughtful men, the construction which any or all of them put on the speech would be matter of comparative in- difference. But we all know that this is not so. Those journals often declare, and are looked to as declaring, the intentions of the Government, while pretending only to give the opinions of their editors, or even of mere individual writers. Hence it is that the Paris journals are regarded as a sort of political oracles by the rest of Europe. When, therefore, they seize upon the speech of an English Minister, and with one accord give it a particular meaning, their doing so becomes a matter of more than mere literary criticism ; it is a matter of political significance. They have done so in this case, and the continental world of Europe ( where the fancies of French writers are more generally circulated than are thefactsof English councils) will, by this time, have set it down as an assured event that England, throughits chief diplomatic authority, has declared that, so far as Poland and Russia are con- cerned, the treaties of 1815 are absolutely at an end. We fear that Earl Russell, if required distinctly to declare his meaning, would not put, such an interpretation on his speech. But it has been put on the speech for him, and every capital of continental Europe will credit it. What effect will this circumstance have on the mind and conduct of Earl Russell ? Will he adopt the inter- pretation, and justify the hopes of all men of humanity as well as of all lovers of liberty and justice ; or will he atone to the Czar for the momentary error by a personal laudation of that potentate and an unworthy excuse for his conduct? That so far as Poland and Russia are concerned there ought to be an end of the treaties of 1815, that all the world ought to understand that the Czar holds Poland only by the sword, that the Poles have just as much legal right " to use the sword against him for their deliverance as he has to employ it against them for their continued subjugation and oppression, no just and sensible man can doubt. But will Earl Russell do what is proper and affirm this— affirm it in a statesman's despatch as well as indi- cate it in a tourist's speech ? This is the question which it con- cerns the honaur of England, and still more deeply, and most painfully, too, the welfare of the Poles, to know. If this ques- tion is answered in the affirmative, justice will be done, and Poland will be free; if in the negative, a fierce and bloody strug- gle will still continue, and " the mild Alexander II.'' will still devastate provinces, burn villages, destroy mansions, and ruin and butcher families, under pretence of doing what is required for " the dignity of his crown, and the legal maintenance of his authority," If Earl Russell means what the French say, the next, the inevitable, and it ought to be the immediate, step in the business is the formal recognition of the Poles as belligerents. Why should they not be so recognised? They have done more to entitle themselves to that recognition than the Southern 8tates of America had done when that recognition was awarded to them. This applies to the matter considered with a view to international law. Considered with a view to humanity the claims of the Poles are fifty times stronger than were those of the Southeners to such a recognition; for neither before nor since ( and we do not forget the treatment of New Orleans by Butler) have the cruelties committed by the most truculent of the Federals at all approached the ferocities which are from day to day perpe trated by the authorised agents of the Czar. We are happv to perceive that the justice and necessity of such a recognition have been asserted by at least owe great public meeting, and Brighton may well be proud of leading the way in so honourable a course. But will Earl Russell verify the hopes which his speech appears to have held out, and make the recognition ? LATEST NEWS, The Scotia arrived at Queenstown, from New York, on Friday morning, Oct 2, having made the passage in eight days and a half. NEW YOBK, SEPT 21. General Rosecranz has been defeated, and compelled to retreat to Chattanooga, after two days' fighting, by General Bragg, who had been heavily reinforced by Lee, Beauregard, and Joe John, ston. Gold, 40 prem. SEPT 21 ( EVENING),— The details of General Rosecranz's de. feat are meagre. Tho following is an account of the first day's battle :— On the morning of the 19th inst the Confederates at- tacked General Rosecranz near Chickanaanga Creek. A fierce musketry engagement ensued, the wooded nature of the ground preventing the use of artillery. Early in the engagement the Confederates captured five guns of the celebrated Loo in as battery. Fierce fighting continued till two o'clock in the afternoon, when the Federal centre was pushed, broken, and retreated in disorder, pursued by the Confederates, who were, however, afterwards checked and driven back. The Confederates then drove General Davis's division back with heavy loss, captur- ing e'/ ery gun of the 8th Indiana Regiment ; Davis, however, succeeded in rallying his forces, and re- took his guns. General Reynolds's division suffered severely, but main- tained its position. Palmer's division lost two guns. Van Cleve's division lost ground, and did not regain its position. A general fight continued until long after dark. At its termination both armies are said to have occupied the same ground as at the com- mencement. The Federals captured ten guns, and lost seven. SEPT 22 ( MORNING).— The New York World asserts that infor- mation had reached New Orleans that the French had occupied Matamoras with 5,000 troops. A collision is expected to take place at the mouth of the Rio Grande bet ween the French and Federal gunboats on matters connected with cotton and supplies for the Confederates. SEPT23 ( MORNING).— The following are the details of the battle fought on the 20th inst between Rosecranz and Bragg :— The engagement commenced late on the morning of the 20t: i. Soon afterwards General Thomas, holding the Federal left, called for reinforcements, and at noon was compelled to retreat. The second line of reinforcements, with M'Cook's corps, which was on the right, and intended as a reserve, was sent to reinforce Thomas. Van Cleve, holding the front centre, and Crittenden's corps, were also ordered to the left, their places being tilled by Davis and Sheridan, who had hardly formed in line before the Confederate line burst upon the Federal centre. This lasted twenty minutes, when Van Cleve, on Thomas's right, gave way. Sheridan and Davis's corps broke in disorder, borne down by* Bishop Polk's corps. Negley's and Van Cleve's divisions rallied, and held their places on the right and left of Thomas's corps. Davis and Sheridan late in the day rallied 8,000 men and joined Thomas, who being cut off from the right, took up an indepen- dent position, where he was reinforced by two divisions. and main- tained a stubborn fight till after dark, retiring at night to Itoss- ville, where he received orders to join Rosecranz, who was con- centrating at Chattanooga. It is reported that the Confederates engaged Thomas again on the 21st, and it was doubtful if he could reach Chattanooga that night. There were indications on the night of the 21st that the Confederates contemplated a demonstra- tion on another part of Rosecranz' line. Braggs's army is variously estimated at from 70,000 to 96,000 strong. The Federal loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners is estimated at 12,000 men. 1,300 Confederate prisoners have been sent to Nashville. Intercepted Southern despatches state that Gen Bragg engaged Gen Rosecrauz on the 19th aud 20th; capturing 20 guns and 500 prisoners. Gen Burnside is moving to reinforce Kosecranz. Three hundred of Burnside's troops were surrounded on the 9th near Knoxville. News has been received from Charleston to the 20th Sept. It is reported that the Monitors were unable to pass up to Charles- ton. The erection of Federal batteries in Fort Gregg and Cum- ming's Point was proceeding slowly, on account of the annoyance from the Confederate batteries, which fired every twenty minutes. The Confederates were reported to be repairing Fort Sumter. General Lee's and Meade's armies are confronting each other on the Rapidan. More frosts have damaged the Kentucky tobacco crop. Gold, 37 j. COMMERCIAL. NEW YORK, SEPT 22 ( EVENING).— The first news of General Rosecranz's defeat, received on Monday last, sent gold up to 40}, and exchange to 155. They yesterday, however, receded, under the impression that Rosecranz's position was better than the first accounts represented. The closing quotations to- day are— Gold, 37J; exchange, 151|. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. CITY DOINGS. There was once in Italy an image of the Virgin peculiarly rich ; n diamonds. One of these was taken. The priests caught the taker and charged him with stealing. He utterly denied the steal- ing, and declared that the Virgin gave the diamond to him. This plea saved him, and perplexed, for a time, his prosecutors. Of course they could not deny that the Virgin could give the diamond, however improbable they thought it that she should do so. But to admit such a plea as a precedent would, they knew, be fatal to the continuance of the diamonds on the dress of the image. So, while yielding to the plea in the particular instance, they passed a most stringent prohibition against any one in future accepting such a gift. Such is the Italian story. Mr Elliott has apparently adopted it as a precedent for a resolution of the Court of Common Council. It would have been difficult to make out a charge of improper taking or improper giving ; there were no means of identifying the offender, or of establishing the offence. But the acceptance was easily provable ; the possession of the article would establish that; and so Mr Elliott has moved a resolution in the Court of Common Council that in effect declares it incompetent " for any member of the corporation, whatever official position he may hold, to accept, or take into his own possession, any chattels or other pro- perty of the corporation, except by a vote of the Court of Common Council." This is the effect of the resolution, though in form it appears to be only a reference of the question to the law officers of the corporation. The cause for thi9 resolution appears to have been the course pursued by some members of the corporation, apropos of the pretty things purchased at the City expense on the occasion of the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales. We are reminded of the " Surgit amari aliquid" as we read Mr Elliott's speech. In the midst of all the sincere rejoicings, of the loyal com- pliments, of the honest delight at the royal visit, there seems to have sprung up a remarkably earnest desire to appro- priate the fine things that were employed to symbolise these feelings. This was the bitter that has spoiled the sweet. The City tax- payers purchased these fine things; some one else has enjoyed tbe benefit of the purchase. As Mr Elliott ( whose speech by the way was a model of gentleness and forbearance so far as its language was concerned) observes, the pretty and valuable things have " disappeared." Where they have gone to he does not indi- cate, but few people will be at much loss to imagine, and on read- ing some of the items the feeling will arise that the articles were purchased in order that they might " disappear." They were to be handled, or to be supposed to be handled, by the princess, and then, having received this recommendatory value, in addition to their own, they were looked upon as fitted for special appro- priation. It is difficult to fancy that her royal highness would actually want the use of seven ivory hair brushes, of various tortoiseshell dressing combs, of eau de cologne to the value of £ 5 14s 6d, or that the Prince of Wales would come in such a condition of dress as to need the application of four ivory clothes brushes, in addition to " two patent brushes,'' the use of which is not explained. But though neither of their royal high- nesses would require these things, another f< srm of the potential mood existed, they might require tliem, or some of'them, and it would be shabby parsiinony to stint a prince or princess in the supply of articles which, though not wanted and not used, would make such pretty keepsakes afterwards as articles that were pro- vided for the possible needs of such visitors. So these articles have " disappeared"— they have not gone to the Moon, though Pope said that " All things lost on earth are treasured there," for they are not lost. They have simply " disappeared" from one place, but are no doubt easily discoverable on earth, and have before now been the subject of examination and approval among the favoured friends of their lucky possessors. Is Mr Elliott so hardhearted as to desire to deprive a " select few" of such enjoy- ments for the future ? We are afraid we must answer this question in the affirmative. He forgets the few to think of the many. He dislikes the favours which savour so strongly of an origin not quite incorrupt. He proposes to forbid the accep^ wie of such gifts, let who will be the offerers. The acceptai^^^ fcly to be permitted on a vote of the Court of Common Cou^^^ B'iink of that. Imagine the acceptance by the fair Mrs ( of all initials from A to Z) being made to depend on the vote of a ma- jority of the Common Council, after a disagreeable discussion on the value of the donation and the claims of the proposed donee. The thing is too horrible to be thought of with calmness. The perverse ingenuity of Mr Elliott has discovered means as courteous iu form as they are cruel in substance, to check gracious gifts at other people's expense. This will be very annoying to some persons. Will the citizens at large think it so ? THE COURT.— H. R. H. the Crown Princess of Prussia, with her husband and children, left Potsdam on Monday, Sept 23, and embarking at Antwerp, landed on Wednesday, Sept 30, at Dover, whence they came to London, and in the afternoon left for Bal- moral, on a visit to Her Majesty. It is understood their royal highnesses will remain some time in England. THE NEW LAW OFFICERS.— Sir W. Atherton has resigned the office of Attorney- General from ill- health, and has been succeeded by Sir Roundell Palmer, Q. C., Solicitor- General. Sir R. Palmer has long been a leader at the Chancery bar. He is in politics a Liberal Conservative. He is succeeded as Solicitor- General by Mr R. P. Collier, Q C., M. P. for Plymouth. His politics are the very reverse of those of Sir R. Palmer. The marriage of Mr Crawshay Bailey with the Countess Eliza- beth Selina Metaxa, pnly daughter of the Count and Countess Metaxa, took place on Tuesday at St Luke's Churcb, Cheltenham, in the presence of a circle of relatives and friends. ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.— On Tuesday, Sept 29, the citizens of London assembled for the purpose of electing a Lord Mayor for the ensuing year, when after the usual ceremonies, the election was decided to have fallen on Alderman William Lawrence. DEATH OF ALDERMAN HUMPHEEY.— This gentleman, long a leading member of the Corporation of the City of London, and who had filled its chief offices, died on Tuesday at his residence at Clapham Common, after a short illness. He was elected an alderman for the ward of Aldgate in 1835, having three years be- fore served the office of Sheriff of London and Middlesex, and in 1842 his fellow- citizens raised him to the dignity of Lord Mayor. He was also at the time of his death Governor of the Irish So- ciety, an office of honour in the corporation, which he had held for more than twenty years. Mr Humphery was 70 years of age HEALTH OF LONDON.— The deaths in the week ending Sept 26 were 1,233, being about the average. There were 148 deaths from scarlatina, 12 from diphtheria, 29 small- pox, 46 diarrhoea, & c. & c. The births were 948 boys and 852 girie- totai 1,801, THE LFDGATE- HILL VIADUCT.— At the Court of Common Council, on Thursday, Deputy Fry brought up a report from the Improvement Committee, to " whom it was referred on the 28th of May to consider a plan by Mr Greenhill, engineer, for a railway and road communication between the north and south sides of the Thames, and which had for its object to obviate the necessity for the proposed viaduct across Ludgate- hill, and contemplated raising the bottom of Ludgate- hill and Holborn Valley. He stated that Mr Greenhill's plan was one of great merit, and, if carried into effect, would have reflected honour on the Corpora- tion of London ; but they found that the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company had obtained an Act of Parliament em- powering them to erect a viaduct for their line across Ludgate- hill, and had expended such large sums of money in constructing their works as to render it impossible for them to abandon the viaduct, which was an essential part of it. The directors, with whom the committee put themselves in communication, declined under those circumstances to consider any alternative plan, and the committee had to relinquish an opposition which was hope- less. The company, however, had undertaken to build a viaduct highly ornamental in design and appearance ; but he believed that, decorate it as they might, the thing would be a great eyesore in that part of the metropolis for all time. We presume, from this statement, that the London and Chatham Railway Company will now be permitted to work their will in increasing the liide- ousness and the inconvenience of the city of London, without further let or hindrance. Would that our grand cathedral and its contents could be moved bodily from among a set of people whose carelessness and neglect in permitting a company to obtain these powers have rendered thesn undeserving of the possession of such a building. RIVERS AND FORESTS.— During the past week anglers on the Tay, from the mouth of Almond to Cargill, have had capital sport, and large captures of fish have been made. At Stobbhall, on Monday, Lord Willougliby landed 13 salmon and grilse. On the same day Mr Marshall, of Luncarty, caught, on his own waters, a salmon weighing 281b, one of 201b, and a third of 171b. On Mr Maxtone Graham's waters, at Broxnie, nine fish were landed. The rod fishing in the Tay and its tributaries closed yesterday ; and the present season has been decidedly the best since 1858, when by the Tay Fisheries Act the rod fishing was ex- tended to the 30th September. It may be added that the salmon, grilse, and trout which have been taken were all perfectly clean, and in every respect in fine condition.— Scotsman.— In the Island of Jura, on the 22d ult, Mr Campbell, the proprietor of the forest of Tarbert, while out hunting in it, fell in with a large stag, which afforded a long and interesting chase. From the natnre of the ground he was discovered on Mr Campbell was unable to stalk the deer sufficiently close, and had to take a running shot at him, about 150 yards distant; the ball struck him on the point of the shoulder, and injured the right fore leg. He started off, however, as if not, much hurt, in company with another stag, making for a corry, Mr Campbell and Angus More, or " big Angus," his forester, following hard after liim; the latter, with his usual ex- pertness, succeeded in just catching sight of the stag as he was leaving the north end of the corry. When the hunters arrived at this point Mr Campbell decided to have his dog Keeper put on the track, which he took up in good style, and went awaj' at a great pace, soon coming up with the stag ; and in a long and exciting chase of about tvvo miles ( which was viewed by Mr Campbell and the other hunters from a point of the hill of Rhyneleurgh), he brought the stag many times to bay. The last time, the deer, as if determined to be rid of his pursuer, made a furious rush at the dog with his horns, but missed him, and by the sheer force he went at they stuck fast in the ground, causing him to fall over a complete somersault, by which he broke his neck, when the dog Keeper jumped upon the prostrate stag. He proved to be a deer Mr Campbell had been long in quest of, and was a large animal with a fine royal head. He weighed, when clean, 19st 71b. Mr Campbell has had good sport in his forests this season, and has killed 33 stags, many of them fine deer, weighing from 16st to 18st, and two over 19st. TRANSMISSION OF PATTERNS BY POST.— Patterns of merchan- dise similar to those already transmissible hy post between Eng- land and France at reduced rates, may now be transmitted by post between any places in the United Kingdom at the following rates of postage, which must in all cases be prepaid by means of postage- stamps, viz :— For a packet of patterns weighing not more than 4oz, 3d; more than 4oz, but not more than 8oz, 6d ; more than 8oz, but not more than looz, Is ; more than 16oz, but not more than 24oz, Is 6d. Special attention is directed to the follow- ing rules and regulations, which will be strictly enforced, viz:— l. No packet of patterns must exceed 24oz in weight; exceeding that weight it will be treated and charged as a letter. 2. The pat- terns must not be of intrinsic value. This rule excludes all arti- cles of a saleable nature; and, indeed, whatever may have a value of its own, apart from its mere use as a pattern; and the quantity of any material, sent ostensibly as a pattern, must not be so great that it can fairly be considered as having, on this ground, an in- trinsic value. Packets containing patterns of intrinsic value will be treated and charged as letters. 3. There must be no writing or printing other than the address of the person for whom the packet is intended, the address of the sender, a trade mark and numbers, and the prices of the articles, otherwise the packet will be treated as a letter. 4. The patterns must be sent in covers open at the ends, so as to be easy of examination. Samples, however, of seeds, drugs, and so forth, which cannot be sent in open covers, may be enclosed in bags of linen, or other material, tied at the neck; bags so closed that they cannot be readily opened, even although they be transparent, must not be used for this purpose. Non- compli- ance to this rule will also subject the packet to be treated as a letter. 5. In all other respects the regulations of the inland book post will apply to the inland pattern post. Under these regula- tions, in order to prevent any interruption to the regular trans- mission of letters, a packet of patterns may, when it is necessary, be kept back for 24 hours beyond the time when, in the ordinary course, it would be forwarded. N. B.— The rule which forbids the transmission through the post of any article likely to injure the contents of the mail bags or the person of any officer of the Post Office is, of course, applicable to the pattern post; and a packet containing anything of the kind will be stopped, and not sent to its destination. Articles such as the following have been occa- sionally posted as patterns, and have been detained as unfit for the post, viz, metal boxes, porcelain and china, fruit, vegetables, bunches of flowers, cuttings of plants, spurs, knives, scissors, nee- dles, pins, pieces of machinery, watch machinerj', sharp- pointed instruments, samples of metals, samples of ore, samples in glass bottles, pieces of glass, acids ef various kinds, currycombs, copper and steel engraving plates, and confectionery of various kinds. By command of the Postmaster- General, ROWLAND HILL, Secre- tary.— General Post Office, Oct, 1. RIOTOUS PROCEEDINGS NEAR GUILDFORD.— A riotous disturb- ance took place on Sunday night, resulting in serious injury to upwards of 30 persons, at a small village a mile from Guild- ford, known as St Catherine's, on the Guildford and Ports- mouth- road. It appears that on the 4th of October occurs the annual fair of the village, and that on that day, by virtue of an old charter, the landlords of the village " publics'' are allowed to draw beer even during prohibited hours. The Sunday before the fair is known as " Tap- up Sunday," and a similar privilege is accorded. The village swains usually turn out in great numbers, and some little license is taken by them in throwing chesnuts at passers by, which generally creates a good deal of merriment among the rustics, and has been good- naturedly be rne by those who have been thus used. This year the larking has been carried on in a most inordinate and serious manner. Sunday being " Tap- up Sunday,'' upwards of 400 young fellows" assembled in the village, lining the road on either side in formidable phalanx, and when any peaceably inclined passenger approached they allowed him or her to get into their midst, and then closed upon them and inflicted both indignity and injury, many, in- cluding ladies, being roughly handled. Several members of the county constabulary force made their appearance on the scene ; but this was the signal for a more riotous demonstration than before, and it was deemed advisable to leave the mob to their own course, and to place constables at distances from the village to caution persons against going on the turnpike road, and to induce them for their own sake to pursue their journey by the river bank, though more circuitous. Several fugitives were pursued notwithstanding this precautionary measure; and several cases occurred in which parties who were pursued down the lane from the village were forcibly pushed into the water. At night nothing could restrain the demoniac fury of the crowd. Mr Shrubb, a resident of the Portsmouth- road, was incautious enough to appeal to the better sense of the crowd, but he was at once assailed with a perfect shower of stones. They then proceeded to his premises, pulled up the whole of the wooden enclosures of his property, and conveyed it to the top of St Catherine's, whence they went to the cutting between the two tunnels on the London and South Western line of railway, where they carried off all the wooden fencing they could get at, and afterwards lighted a huge bonfire. Much other injury was done to both person and property which has not as yet been officially reported. Benson's watches, adapted for every class, climate, and country, wholesale and retail.

The Constitutionnel, in an article by M Pauline Limayrac, dwells upon the importance of the passage of Earl Russell's speech at Blairgowrie, in which he said that, since Russia had not fulfilled the conditions imposed by the treaties of 1815, her title to possess Poland could hardly any longer be vindicated. The Pays states that Russia, treading under foot the letter and spirit of the trea- ties of 1815, only occupies Poland de facto. The JPresse has re- ceived a warning. M Emile de Girardin has presumed to reply to it. M Girardin commences by pointing out that there is no law which prohibits an avertissement being criticised, and that therefore it is allowable to point out that the warning to the Presse was unjust and uncalled for, and that the incriminated article stated nothing but the truth. These assertions he proves with great clearness and force, and concludes by an expression of sor- row that the warning supplies a symptom that we are never so far from liberty as when we think it " within our grasp. The Presse says:—" We believe that France and England have decided to made a declaration to the effect that they consider the treaty of 1815 no longer in force, and consequently have ceased to guarantee the possession of Poland to Russia." The Patrie extols the idea put forward by Earl Russell to declare that Russia has forfeited her right to the kingdom of Poland, since she has not fulfilled the conditions imposed by the treaties of 1815. It is asserted that the French Chambers will be opened very shortly. The Moniteur de VArmte publishes a circular of the Minister of War ordering that all soldiers at present with their regiments, or absent on leave, whose term of service expires in 1863, shall be immediately struck off the active lists and enrolled in the reserve. ROME. The Paris Presse says :—" A young Jewess, Graziosa Caviglia, was baptised in Rome on the 20th September, against the wishes of her parents, who protested to the last, and against her own wishes; for it cannot be said that a young girl of nine years of age has any will in such a matter. Upon a hnaland very touching sup-~ s plication presented by her mother to Cardinal Cagiano, Prelect of the Academy of the Catechumens, where the young girl was con- fined, the word ledum was immediate^ placed ; and a few days after the Journal of Home, braving the opinion of all respectabla people, and insulting the grief of the parents, had the audacity to proclaim to the world the conversion and the baptism of Graziosa Caviglia, aged nine years. It should be noted that although a pontifical bull forbids the baptism of an Israelite who of his own free will wishes to be converted to Catholicism until he has passed through two years of instruction and examination, this child has been baptised only three months after being abducted from her parents. It is thus that the court of Rome follows the examples of reform and of toleration afforded to it by the civilised world." De Merode and General de Montebello appear to be on bad terms. The insolence of the former to his French protector is astounding. POLAND. The Press of Vienna points out fresh measures of rigour which have been adopted throughout the whole of the kingdom of Po- land, which are no longer directed against the insurgents alone, but against all the landed proprietors of the country. The object of the Czar is to indemnify himself for all the losses and expenses incurred in consequence of the insurrection, and for that purpose to levy a regular war contribution on ali landed property. Se- veral Austrian subjects, among others Prince Sariguzko and Count Alfred Potocki, a member of the Upper Chamber of the Austrian empire, have been, although not residing in Poland, taxed, the former at 40,000 roubles, and the latter at 50,000. Their pro- perties have been occupied militarily. The following decree was issued by General Mouravieff:—" It has come to my knowledge that a certain number of persons who recently belonged to insur- gent corps have returned to the bosom ef their families without the local authorities being informed of their arrival. As my cir- cular ordered the immediate arrest of such persons, the military chiefs must be instructed to inform the inhabitants of their dis- tricts that those persons and municipal bodies who, without giving due notification to the authorities, shall shelter or conceal any persons returning from the insurrection, will be liable to a fine of from 25 to 100 roubles, besides being made responsible for all the consequences of their neglect." Many persons have been shot and hanged. PRUSSIA. The Staatsanzeiger publishes a circular issued by the Minister of the Interior, calling upon the chiefs of the Provincial Govern- ments to devote their strictest attention to the conduct of the public functionaries during the forthcoming elections. The officials are expected to give their entire support to the State Government; even a passive conduct will be considered as show- ing a want of devotion. In conclusion, the circular says public officials are not released from their oath of allegiance to the King either in their capacity as electors or elected. The circular as- sumes that the King is not bound by any oath. MEXICO. French advices announce the approaching dissolution of the Juarez party, arid that San Luis Potosi will shortly pronounce in favour of the French intervention. WEST INDIA MAIL. The Tasmanian arrived at Southampton on Monday, Sept 28, having left St Thomas's on Sept 13. The Tasmanian experienced strong head winds and sea from St Thomas to the Western Islands, subsequently northerly and north- easterly winas and heavy sea, with strong' south- west wind and rain lip the Channel. Intelli- gence from Vera Cruz by this mail says General Forey and M Saligny have been recalled from Mexico by order of the French Emperor. General Bazaine has taken command of the troops. The French forces, 1,200 strong, took possession of Tampico on August 8. The expedition against the Government of President Juarez is postponed till the conclusion of the rainy season. The President ( Juarez) was in San Luis Potosi, combining his troops for the purpose of resisting the French. The exportation of specie was forbidden from all towns occupied by the French, but large consignments were being shipped by way of Mansancello, and thence to Panama. The rebellion which broke out in the island of St Domingo on the ISth ult caused a terrible sacrifice of property and life. A Targe number of Dominican refugees having ob- tained arms and ammunition, attacked three of the garrisons on the northern Spanish side, destroying them bj7 fire, and murdering all the sick in the hospitals, sparing neither women nor children. On the 27th ult Porto Plata was invaded by 2,000 insurgents, who took possession of the town, but were afterwards driven out by two battalions of troops, who arrived by a Spanish steamer. The colonel of the Spanish troops was killed in the en- counter. Large bodies of troops had been despatched from Havana and Porto Rico to assist in quelling the rebellion, and executing summary justice upon all those taking part with the insurgents. The purser of the Tasmanian furnishes the following particulars relative to the captured ship Atlantic :— On the 3d Sept the British brig Atlantic arrived at Havana, having been captured with cotton from Matamoras, off the Rio Grande del Norte, by a Federal ship. A prize crew, consisting of one lieutenant and six men, was put on board to take her to New Orleans, leaving of the Atlantic crew only the captain, ship's cook, and one boy on board. Whilst the Federal lieutenant and part of his crew were asleep, the captain and the two others succeeded in securing them, and afterwards the watch on deck, and having thus recaptured his vessel, took her into the port of Havana. Jamaica was still suffering from severe drought, so much so that in some of the south side parishes crops have entirely failed, and water could hardly be obtained for the livestock. " The heat was intolerable, and much sickness prevailed. Trade of all kinds was dull. THE QUARTER'S REVENUE.— The revenue returns for th ® quarter and year ending Sept 30 are of a gratifying kind. On the Customs, for the quarter, as compared with the corresponding quarter of last year, there is, indeed, a falling off to the extent of £ 329,000 ; but this is accounted for by the reduction of the duty on tea. On the year, the deficit is only £ 92,000. On the income- tax the decrease on the quarter is £ 108,000— a very small decrease considering the reduction which has taken place in that impost. These defalcations are more than compensated by the increase under other heads. The Excise yields more in the quarter just ended by £ 318,000 than it did in the corresponding period of 1862. On the year, the Post Office furnishes us with an augmentation of £ 200,000 ; while under the head of Miscellaneous, the increase over the corresponding year is not less than 706,808. The aggre- gate results show a decrease on the quarter of £ 189,479; while on the year, we have an increase of £ 808, S42. With the extensive re- duction in taxation made last session, this must be admitted to be very satisfactory. ODD REQUISITES FOR A CITY ENTERTAINMENT. — At the Common Council, on Thursday, Deputy Elliott called attention to the abuses and extravagances of the corporation on occasions of public banquets. On the recent royal entertainment at Guild- hall a large sum of money had been spent— the greater part of it in a munificent and honourable manner— but much of it in such a way as to warrant the extenuating inference that the Entertain- ment Committee had been for the time in a chronic state of in toxication, either from loyalty or wine [ a laugh]. Things were ordered which it was almost an affront to the graceful and well- bred guests who were invited to suppose that they could have occasion to use in the few hours they spent at the entertainment. He held in his hand a bill for perfumery supplied on the occasion, amounting to £ 109, including seven ivory hair brushes, £ 12 10s; ten tortoiseshell dressing combs, £ 4 17s; and five dozen bottles of eau de Cologne, £ 6 14s Od. One would think that, instead of ladies of princely rank, the leading personages in the company were the King of Dahomey and his black negresses [ a laugh]. A dozen- and- a- half of fancy powder boxes, 10 rose- cut bottles of perfumery, £ 5; 117 soap tablets, £ 4 12s 6d. It was an insult, he re- peated, to suppose that such things could have been wanted at such a time. Two patent hair brushes, £ 316s; four ivory cloth brushes, £ 6; and, to make short work of along scandal, engraving ivory hair brushes, £ 7. These were the purposes to which much of the money of the corporation had been applied on the occasion. It might as well have been thrown into the fire. Then there were a pair of Sevres vases £ 32, and a costly porcelain tray £ 10 17s. Now if such things had afterwards found their way to the Kensington Museum or the Mansion House, to be treasured up as beautiful specimens of the ceramic art at the present time, he should have held h! s tongue; but not so. On the contrary, they had since disappeared, or, as chemists would say, been sublimed [ laughter]. Then he held in his hand a bill amounting altogether to £ 644, for porcelain articles supplied on the occasion by Aldertnan Copeland [ hear, hear], though it was a standing order " of that court that no member of it was to sell or furnish goods to the corporation. That account included £ 90 for dessert plates. Those, he ought to say, were honestly bought after the entertainment by some of the unprivileged members of the Common Council, who wished to have mementoes of the occasion and to pay for them [ a laugh]. Then there was a fine porcelain tea service £ 18 18s, which, so far as he knew to the contrary, had also disappeared.— The Lord Mayor, interposing, said that, was now part of the permanent property of the Mansion House.— Deputy Elliott was delighted to hear that it was. There was a toilet service £ 52 10s, and he should be glad to hear that that also formed part of the property of the Mansion House. There were two other similar services, costing £ 18 and £ 11. These, as far as he could make out, had all disap- peared ; they were certainly not in the sale of remanets which they, the unprivileged members of the court, bought and paid for. He might go over an enormous list of articles which had all disappeared. They ought not to have been ordered, for they were never wanted by the distinguished persons who attended the ball only for a few hours. The answer, he apprehended, would be that the members of the Entertainment Committee, who gave gratuitous and laborious services on the occasion, were entitled to a few souvenirs in the shape of waifs and strays. But the total cost of all that flotsam and jet- sam amounted to no less than £ 600 [ a laugh], and the whole adornments of the princess's boudoir had disappeared. Besides, the committee were precluded from setting up that excuse, see- ing that during their five or six weeks' work they spent £ 200 in dinners and luncheons ; £ 150 in a breaking- up treat [ a laugh]; and, not satisfied with all that, they expended £ 150 more for ar: icles cf personal decoration used by themselves [ cheers]. He concluded by moving " That it be referred to the law officers to consider and report whether it was competent for any member of that corporation, whatever official position he might hold, to ac- cept or take into his own possession any chattels or other property of the corporation other than by a vote of the common council." — The motion created a good deal of excitement, and led to a long debate, which was ultimately adjourned. THE ACCLIMATISATION SOCIETY OF GREAT BRITAIN.— TO the Editor: Wre have the honour to inform you that the Light of the Age, passenger ship, belonging to Messrs Mackay and Co, sailed on the 27th instant from the East India Docks, carrying with her a consignment of five variegated pheasants from this society to the Acclimatisation Society of Queensland. The birds are caged in the manner which we think most likely to ensure their safe delivery; an ample supply of food and gravel has been provided; and Captain Porter, who commands the ship, and who has kindly interested himself in the matter, feels very confident of being able to deliver a fair proportion of them at Brisbane. The birds were presented for the purpose by Higford Burr, Esq, of Aldermaston Court, Reading. By the Ariadne ( also belonging to Messrs Mackay, and which sails within a month), a larger consignment of game birds will be sent by the society to Queensland, to which his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, Lord Hill, C. Hambro, Esq, of Milton Abbey, and other members of the society, have promised to contribute. The owners have kindly promised the use of a cabin to accommodate these birds, and there can be no doubt that this will materially increase the chances of the safe arrival of the birds, whose most fatal dangers arise from exposure to the weather and the salt water. All who wish well to our prosperous Australian colonies will, we are sure, be glad to hear of the safe arrival of these emigrants, who will, no doubt, be welcomed on their arrival far more cordially than the gaol birds whom our Government has recently been sending to Western Australia.— We are, sir, your obedient servants, F.

THE CHANNEL FLEET IN DUBLIN BAY.— From the Irish papers it appears that the fleet in Dublin Bay excited great curiosity and enthusiasm. On Tuesday, Sept 29 ( says theExpress), even at so early an hour as eleven a. m., the arrival platform of the railway terminus at Kingstown presented a complete throng of visitors, who moved slowly out in perfect regiments into the open Bpace of the Victoria Wharf. The weather was singularly pro- pitious for a sail in the bay. Various large steamers already men- tioned in connection with the traffic to and from the fleet com- menced plying at an early hour. Gay- looking lines of many- coloured bunting were run up to their several masts, and with a very excellent band, carried on board the Liverpool Tug Steam Company's vessel, imparted considerable additional animation to the busy scene. A slight breeze of wind to the southward had in the morning resulted in a corresponding change of position in the vessels composing the squadron, which for the most part in conse- quence headed towards the shore, thus enabling spectators from the land to see and appreciate the delicacy and admirable propor- tions of their lines in this point of view. The squalls of the pre- vious day having passed away, topgallant masts had been again run lip, and the stately ironclads and wooden liners once more appeared *' all ataunto," their solid- looking hulls riding majestically and without motion on the deep green waters of tbe bay. About two p. m. the open area of ground surrounding the railway terminus at Kingstown became so densely crowded that a. passage from point to point became a matter of deliberation and difficulty. In fact, on no previous occasion for many years has such a concourse of respectably dressed and orderly persons visited Kingstown. The heavy freights carried by the steamers on some of their trips was something astonishing, those vessels literally swaying from Bide to side with the weight of their passengers. The Kingstown, in returning from the Warrior, was compelled to carry 1,000 pas- sengers, as the clearing of the ship was imperative before darkness set in. Not a single seaman of the fleet has been arrested for dis- orderly conduct at Kingstown— a fact most creditable to the disci- pline of the squadron. THe officers of the fleet have been enter- tained at banquets and balls, which have gone off with great suc- cess, and in fact tho hospitality they have received has been boundless. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. THE NEW CHELSEA MODEL BARRACKS.—' The New Chelsea Model Barracks, erected on the eastern side of the road leading to Chelsea Bridge, was on Friday, Sept 25, occupied by the 1st Bat- talion Scots Fusilier Guards and two companies of the 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards. This building, up to the present moment, has cost a3out£ 120,000, and has been erected of polychrome brick and Btone, in the Romanesque style, from designs by Mr George Mor- gan, and is fitted up with all the modern conveaiences, and re- plete with every arrangement calculated to ensure an amount of comfort never yet obtained by the British soldier in the way of barrack accommodation. The barracks have a frontage facing the grounds of Chelsea Hospital of 1,050 feet, with a depth of about 40 feet, the average height being about 60 feet, while at each end of the main building, but detached from it, are wings, that at the north end containing the officers' apartments, with cellars, & c, the other at the south end being occupied by the non- commissioned officers. In front of the barracks the ground between the road and the building is protected by a lofty iron railing, broken in the centre by a noble gateway, entering ' which, on the right, is the guard- house. The fapade of the building is broken by seven pavi- lions, the second one being pierced with a lofty and elegant archway, giving access to the ground at the back of the main building, and flanked by two lofty towers about 80ft high, containing the clock and wind dial, vane, & e. Over the archway of the central pavilion is a noble lecture- room, and in the building on the left of this are the commanding officer's and ceurt- martial rooms, while the portion next the central pavilion on the right is occupied by a splendid library. Tile barracks vary in height, containing in some portions three and in others four stories, the greater part of which consist of barrack- rooms, with sleeping- quarters for the married sergeants overlooking them. The basement of the build- ing has been so arranged that it may easily be converted into a rifle gallery, with a range of about 85t> yards, though one would imagine that the constant reports during practice would seriously disturb the comfort of the inmates above. Along the back of the barracks, facing the parade, a covered arcade gives shelter while passing from one part to another. There are also, some yards from the back of the barracks, two detached buildings, which will be used as dining- halls. These are each 100 feet long, and 50 feet deep, and are furnished with cooking- houses and other con- veniences. In the southern rear of the barracks are the baths and prison; while a second contract has just been entered into for the construction of quarters for the married soldiers, canteen, with skittle- alleys, ball- courts, covered gymnasium, chapel, and laun- dries; the whole, with the buildings already completed and occu- pied, covering a triangular plot of ground of about 13 acre3, bounded by the road leading to Chelsea Bridge and the Queen's and Commercial roads. MUSIC AND DRAMA. EXTRAORDINARY MAIL BAG ROBBERY.— On Tuesday, at the Hull police court, Maria Cooke, a lady charged with being con- cerned in the robbery of tbe South Cave mail bag and a letter containing checks to the amount of £ 700, was brought up.— D. Mackintosh, a merchant's clerk, stated that he remembered being in Whitefriargate, Hull, on Friday, Sept 25, about a quarter past ten o'clock. The prisoner came up and spoke to him. " Are you in a hurry?' He replied " No." She said " Will you get a check cashed for me ?" He said, " I don't sup- pose they will pay me." She said, " Yea they will.'' He said, " I shall have to sign my name." She said, " Oh no, you won't.'' While she was speaking she produced an envelope with a check in it out of a bag, and gave it to witness. He said he would take it, and he asked her where the bank was ? She said, " The York- shire Banking Company, corner of Parliament- street." Witness went to the bank with the check, which was in the envelope. It was for £ 28, and drawn by Thomas Jackson of North Shields upon the National Provincial Bank of England at Shields. He presented the check to the bank clerk, who refused to cash it. He then left the bank and went back to the prisoner, and told her that they would not cash the check, and he handed both the enve- lope and check back to her. He then left, and immediately afterwards pointed her out to two bank clerks who had fol- lowed him. One of these clerks went up to her and asked her if she had just sent a check ta the bank. She replied in the affirma- tive. He asked to see the cheek, when she handed him what ap- peared to be the same envelope and check. He asked her te> step back to the bank, and she went, witness accompanying them. In the bank they asked her where she had got the check from, and she said a gentleman had given it to her in a railway carriage, as she was coming from Hessle, tbe night before, by the last train, and in a second- class carriage. She was asked if there were many people in the carriage, and she replied that it was full, and that the gentleman, who was sitting opposite to her, threw it across to her. She had not see him before. The lady was then taken into custody by a detective who was present in the bank at the time.— Henry Michael Daly, acting post- master of Hull, was shown the envelope in which the checks were placed before being posted at South Cave. This envelope, he said, was again posted in Hull on Friday merning, between 9: 15 and 10; 15. There was a South Cave postmark on it for the 24th inst. It did not bear the Brough post- mark, which it ought to have done in its transit from Cave to Beverley. ( This evidence was to show that the letter containing the seven checks was stolen at South Cave and re- posted at Hull, for Beveriey, minus the two checks found in possession of the prisoner.) The evidence of how the robbery was effected, and the receipt of the five checks at the Beverley Yorkshire Banking Com- pany, was postponed until next Tuesday. MELANCHOLY BOAT ACCIDENT.— SIX" FISHERMEN DROWNED. — On Monday evening, Sept 28, the fishing village of Ferryden, situated opposite Montrose, on the right bank of the South Esk, was thrown into great excitement by the report that a fishing boat belonging to the place had gone down with all hands. The report proved to be too true. The circumstances of the accident were as follows:— Three fishing yawls were returning from the fishing ground, and about midday were about five miles off' the Redhead, or about eight miles south of the port. Two of the boats were running close to one another before a stiff and squally wind from S. S. W., with two reefs in their sails. The third boat was about a mile and a half astern of the other two, and not being so close to the headland, had the full force of the wind on her wea'her quarter. It is thought also that, she had only one " ring" in her sails. When the boats were about the place stated a squall of wind came away, the full force of which the boats experienced. After the wind moderated the crews of the other boats looked astern to see how their neighbours had bornethesquall, and were astonished at not seeing the boat at all. Both then tacked and went back to about the place, but not a vestige of the unfortunate boat and her crew could be seen. The two boats, after some further search, had no other alternative but to make for their homes with the melancholy tidings. To describe the state of the relatives of the ill- fated men, and in fact of the general fishing population, would be impossible. There were six of a crew in the unfortunate boat, all married men with wives and families. The following are their names, with the number of their orphan children:— John Pert, wife and five children ; Archibald Couill, wife and eight children; James Paton, wife and four children; George Pert, wife and two children ; William West, wife and one child ; Wil- liam Pert, wife and four children— in all, six widows and 24 chil- dren. Such a calamitous event has not happened in the district for nearly twenty years.— Scotsman. WHAT IS TO BE DONE WITH THE GREAT SHIP?— A meeting of the shareholders in this district of the Great Ship Company was held on Tuesday, at the Clarence Hotel, Manchester, for the purpose of discussing the present position and future prospects of the Great Ship. Mr Edelton took the chair. Mr Blair said there was to be a general meeting of the shareholders in London, on Friday, and the directors' report, which he held in his hand, would only reach the majority of the shareholders on Sunday last. On reading the report he thought it of so serious a nature as to invite a few shareholders together in his office to discuss it, and from them emanated the advertisement calling that meeting. The report stated, first of all, that the directors wanted a sum of £ 30,000; and that sum was merely a rough reckoning, or guess, as to what would be wanted. The three months of May, June, and August, which were as favourable as any in the year, yielded £ 37,000 in voyages to America ; and, nevertheless, the company sustained a loss of £ 19,000. This was partly owing to the compe- tition of that line. There was another matter which was rather singular, with respect to the accident which occurred to the vessel on Montauk Point. There was an insurance on the vessel at the time which had cost £ 5,800, and yet the directors had been advised they could not recover anything because they had a pilot on board. In answer to a shareholder, Mr Blair said there were 330.000 ordinary pound shareholders, and 700,000 preference share- holders. It was also stated that from £ 70,000 to £ 80,000, would be required to enable the ship to go on her next voyage. Many gentlemen expressed an opinion favourable to sending the great ship on long voyages— to India or Australia— but it was stated on the authority of the chairman of the company that £ 20,000 would be required for coal alone for a voyage to Australia. Mr Oram moved, " that it be a suggestion from this meeting that the leading shareholders form amongst themselves a new company for the purchase of the ship, and all the exising shareholders who desire to join the new company be invited to do so; that a deputation from this meeting attend the general meeting in London to advo- cate this policy." Mr Marsland of Stockport, who held 4,000 ordinary shares, seconded the motion, which was agreed to unani- mously. A committee was then appointed as a deputation, and tbe meeting closed. HORRIBLE DEATH OF TWO HOP- PICKERS.— On Friday, Sept25, an inquest was held at the farm of Mr G. O. Thirkel!, in Leeds, Kent, to inquire into the deaths of Harriet Beaney, 47, and Ann Beaney, 14, mother and daughter. The deceased Mrs Beaney, who lived at Chatham, had come into the neighbourhood with some five or six of her children, and had been employed by Mr Thirkell in hop- picking. They were sheltered, with many other pickers, in some temporary huts, the roofs and sides consisting of straw thatch and hopbines, with wooden uprights and rafters. The picking having been brought to a conclusion on Wednesday, she hoppers were paid off, and at night the deceased and a num- ber of others went to a public- house, where they remained drink- ing for several hours, returning to their huts shortly after twelve o'clock, the whole of them the more or less intoxicated ; in fact, some of them dropped down on the road, and remained there all night. The deceased, Harriet Beaney, was quite drunk, and her two eldest sons were also the worse for liquor. About four o'clock in the morning the Beaneys were awoke by finding that their hut was on fire, and the two deceased lost their lives. Both bodies, when brought out from the ruins of the huts, presented a frightful spectacle, none of their features being distinguishable, and on one of the hoppers taking hold of the girl's arm it crumbled to pieces in his hand. Notwithstanding that the huts were built upon the bank of a running brook, they were entirely destroyed ; and, considering the rapidity with which the flames spread, it is a matter of surprise that more did not lose their lives. As it was, three or four children were severely burnt, and everything in the huts belonging to the hoppers was entirely consumed. A STEAMER BURNT IN HARBOUR.— On Tuesday the new screw steamer Peruvian, 2,500 tons, lately launched for the Montreal Ocean Steam Company, was partially destroyed by fire in Greenock Harbour. How the fire originated is not known. All nervous, bilious, liver, pulmonary, and stomach com- plaints are perfectly cured by Du Barry's health- restoring Kcvalenta Arabica Food, as proved by 60,000 cases which had resisted all medicines. We quote a few :— Cure, No. 46,270. Mr. James Roberts, of Frirnley, Surrey, of thirty years' dis- eased lungs, spitting of blood, constipation, liver derangement, and deafness.— Cure, No. 47,121. Miss Elizabeth Jacobs, of extreme nervousness, indigestion, gatherings, low spirits, and nervous fancies.— Cure, No. 54,816. The Rev. James T. Campbell, Fakenham, Norfolk, " of indigestion and torpidity of the liver, which had resisted all medical treatment."— In tins, lib., 2s. 9d. ; 121b., 22s. ; 241b., 40s.— Barry du Barry and Co., Wo. 77, Regent- street, London; also at 61, Gracechurch- street; 4, Cheapside; and 26, Place Vend6me, Paris; and 12, Eue de ' Empereur, Brussels. DRUEY- LANE THEATRE.— The new drama by Mr Burnand of " The Deal Boatman " is now first in the bills, and is followed by Mr Falconer's comedy of " Nature's above Art." The play of " Manfred'' bj' Lord Byron, is announced for production on the 10th of this month, when it will be presented with all the assist- ance which can be given to it by effective scenery, dresses, and decorations, whilst music will materially increase the attraction, Mr Swift, Miss Poole, Miss Hey wood, and Miss Cicely Nott being specially engaged for the purpose. Mr Phelps will make his first appearance as the hero, Manfred. HAYMARKET THEATRE.— On Monday the Countess of Gifford's comedy of " Finesse; or, Spy and CounterSpy,'' was re- pro- duced, with almost the same cast as last season, the only change being the substitution of Mrs Dowton for Mrs Wilkins in the part of the Baroness Freit. enhorsen. Mr Alfred Wigan's touches of humour as the astute doctor appeared to be highly appreciated by his audience, and Mrs Alfred Wrigan's impersonation of the foreigner- hating Englishwoman secured the laughter and ap- plause of a very full house. An " Unlucky Mortal'' has preceded the comedy, and the farce of " Turning the Tables " has followed it upon every evening during tbe week. NEW ROYALTY" THEATRE.— Mr Burnand has produced at this house this week one of the very best classical burlesques we have ever seen since the days when Mr Planche used to charm the town at the Olympic with his " Olympic Revels and Olympic Devils," and that sort of thing. The name of this latest accession to the long list is " Ixion; or, the Man at the Wheel,'' and it is presented w ith all the strength of the company in the principal characters, and with most admirable illustrations in the shape of new scenery, dresses, and decorations. The story of Ixion, as told in the Ovidian metamorphoses, is closely followed, and shows us how Ixion made love to Juno, after receiving kind- ness from Jupiter; and how the King of the Gods condemned him to be tied to a wheel in the lower regions, which wheel is in a state of continual motion. As a matter of course this extra- vaganza is loaded with puns and word tortures, but none of them are tainted with vulgarity or slang, and some of the allu- sions— as, for instance, the condemnation of the spectators of female acrobats and the oppression of overworked needlewomen — were written and delivered by the actresses in the very best taste. The happy hits at the non- completion of the Nelson column and some of the other popular topics of the day elicited long- continued bursts of merriment. Miss Jenny Wilmore played the part of Ixion, and looked, acted, sang, and danced so prettily, as to win constant tributes of applause, her style since her first appearance having been much modified and altered from its former prominency. Miss Harriet Peiham was sufficiently despotic and firm as Jupiter, Miss Ada Cavendish pretty and pettish as Venus, and Miss Lydia Maitland looked the god Apollo to perfection. Mrs Selby had a small part as Mel- pomene, and delivered the feeling lines against sensation excitements with great energy , whilst Miss Rosina Wright as Terpsichore danced with much vigourand energy. Mr Felix Rogers as Minerva made the most of some absurd situations, and sang se- veral scraps of operatic and nigger airs with the strange fal- setto voice which is one of his peculiarities. The burlesque went off without a hitch, and will, we trust, raise the fortunes of the house. Every seat. was full, and numbers had to stand in any part where they could obtain a glimpse of the stage and its occu- pants. Loud and long- continued acclamations for the author re- sounded through the theatre at the fall of the curtain, in the midst of which Mr Burnand appeared to receive the congratula- tions of the audience on the well- merited success of his excel- lently- written piece. PRINCESS'S THEATRE.— Herr Herrmann is the ruling star at this theatre, where he amuses his spectators nightly by wonderful feats of deception and sleight of hand. Like Herr Frikell, he scorns the use of those mystic apparatus which used to amaze us so when we were children, and performs his tricks with little or no assistance from extraneous objects. He styles himself a pres- tidigitateur, and for dexterity and quickness has scarcely ever been equalled. ADELPHI THEATRE.— Mr Webster brought his season to a close on Saturday last, when, in addition to other most attractive entertainments, he revived the pleasant and genial drama of " Masks and Faces," in which Mrs Stirling and himself per- sonated, as of old, their original characters of Peg Woffington and Triplet. After a short interval of three days, the house was re- opened, certain redecorations and necessary cleanings having been effected in the meanwhile. On Thursday, after the performance of " The Tragedy Queen," a drama entitled " Leah" was produced for tbe first time; it is identically the same as " Deborah," a play- in which Madame Ristori so lately added one to the many of her striking delineations of character. It was played with great and unquestionable success, was admirably put upon the stage, the scenery being especially new, and the set scenes excellently adapted for the purpose. The story, which is spun out into five long acts, one of which might be advantageously curtailed, con- sists in the deep and lasting love entertained by Leah, a Jewess, for Rudolph, a Christian, who at first reciprocates the affection, but believing that she has accepted gold from his father as the price of relinquishing their engagement, breaks off with the poor, devoted girl, marries his cousin Maddalena. is met corning from the altar by Leah, and cursed by her for his treachery. In the sequel Leah repents her denunciations, and, worn out with fatigue from the persecutions she has undergone owing to her religious tenets, and the abandonment by her betrothed, dies blessing him and his wife and child. This piece is not at all of the old Adelphi stamp, being of the most sustained and poetic interest, such as is to be found in dramas of the Elizabethan order, but the audience which filled every part of the theatre expressed their approval of it, and received it with evident determination that it should be accepted as a success. The part of Leah was sustained by Miss Bateman, an American artist who has made a great sensation in her own country in this tragic drama. She is, we believe, the elder of the two Bateman children who performed in England some ten or twelve years since, and has cultivated her talents to a considerable extent. She has a good stage presence, is intelligent in her conceptions and execution of passages of extreme pathos and sensibility, has an open- hearted fine face, and is in earnest in her vocation as a tragic actress. Her voice is scarcely so full and musical as could be desired, owing to a slight Transatlantic tone which is not agreeable to English ears, but which will, it is to be presumed, be softened down by practice with English artistes on an English stage. She was, however, cordially received, and had to appear before the audience several times during the progress of the drama. Miss Sims, as the wife, exhibited great feeling, and played with care and attention to de- tail. Mr Arthur Stirling, from the St James's Theatre, made bis first appearance on these boards as Nathan, an apostate Jew, and played with unusual power, seconding the efforts of the new comer with a knowledge of stage effect. Tragedy is not Mr Bil- lington's forte, but he did his best to perform the character al- lotted to him. " Leah" in its English dress will, doubtless, occupy a place in the bills for some time to come, and attract audiences as dense as that which filled on this occasion every part of the theatre. CRYSTAL PALACE.— The Ghost has found its way at last to Sydenham, and has been appearing to the frequenters of this at- tractive haunt in the Concert Room, which has been perfectly en- closed and darkened for the purpose. Mr Brough is the presiding genius who describes the apparition. ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA.— Miss LouisaPyneand MrW. Harrison announce their eighth and last season, to commence on Monday, Oct 12, on which occasion an entirely new opera, by Mr W. V. Wallace, will be produced, entitled " The Desert Flower.'' BIRMINGHAM AMUSEMENTS.— Theatre Royal: " The Dead Guest," a piece brought forward to introduce Mr Pepper's ghost, continues to attract good houses.— The New Theatre, Moor- street, which has been fitted up by the lessee, Mr H. P. Grattan, con- tinues to enjoy a large share of public patronage.— Day's Crystal Palace Concert Hall is nightly filled to overflowing.— Holder's Concert Hall also comes in for an equal share of public patron- age.— Edwards's American Panorama at the Gallery of Illustra- tion meets with full audiences although two performances a day are given. CRICKETEKS' REGISTER. COLLISION ON THE GREENWICH RAILWAY.— On Tuesday evening, Sept 29, about eight o'clock, a collision took place on the London and Greenwich Railway, fortunately not attended with fatal results. It appears that one of the engines of the North Kent line ran into the Greenwich train. Several passengers were much shaken; one lady, residing at Keginald- road, High- street, Deptford, was much injured, and was removed by two railway guards to her residence. One gentleman had his watch com- pletely smashed. CHILD MURDER AT LEIGII COURT, SOMERSET.— The family and household of Sir William Miles, Bart., M. P., have been greatly shocked by the fact that a domestic in their establishment, named Emma White, has been discovered to have murdered her illegitimate female infant by strangulation. The mother had de- livered herself secretly, and the body, which had been hidden in a closet, was not found till some time after birth. The inquest was held on Wednesday, and evidence of the guilt of the mother having been given, the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against Emma White." The coroner issued his warrant for the committal of the prisoner to await her trial, and she will be re- moved as soon as she is sufficiently recovered. CLEVER CAPTURE OF A GANG OF POACHERS — On Thursday morning, a gang of poachers was cleverly captured in Wollaton Park, Nottinghamshire, the seat of Lord Middleton. About 2 o'clock, Richard Burtt ( his lordship's head gamekeeper) and four others were out watching in Wollaton Park, when they saw a gang of poachers, seven or eight in number, busily engaged in setting nets. Not deeming it prudent to attack them with his present force, he went in quest of assistance, and shortly returned with four more keepers. After manoeuvring for some time the keepers succeeded in surrounding part of the gang, and called upon them to surrender. One of the gang raised his bludgeon as if to strike a heavy blow, but he suddenly lowered his arm, and four of the men gave themselves up. The others managed to effect their escape. A quantity of nets, pegs, and rabbits were found on the grounds. The prisoners— whose names are G. Gil- bert, Frank Richards, William Porter, and John Godall— were taken before the county magistrates during the morning, and re- manded until to- day. SAD ACCIDENT AT NEWCASTLE- ON- TYNE.— On Tuesday Mrs Blackett, wife of Captain Blackett, R. N., was killed by a fall from her carriage. It seems she drove from her residence at Oakwood with two children to visit Sir E. Blackett, at Matfen Hall. She had just got into the carriage to return when the horse became restiff. Mrs Blackett requested the children to get out until she got the horse more in hand. They did so, but the animal continued to rear and plunge in the road through the shrubbery, and at last the carriage upset, and Mrs Blackett was thrown with great violence on the ground. The gardener belong- ing to the hall, who was at some distance, hastened to the assist- ance of the unfortunate lady, and carried her to the hall, which she had left but a few minutes before in the vigour of health. But her head had been so much injured that she had scarcely been brought into the entrance hall when she ceased to breathe. The carriage wheels had evidently been caught by one of the trees oil the side of the road, and her death seems to have been caused by her head being brought in violent contact with a tree. The awful death of Mrs Blackett is much lamented at Oakwood, where she was beloved by rich and poor. ASSAULT UPON A POLICEMAN BY ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIESTS. — The Rev Thomas Kelly and the Rev Samuel Isaac Walsh, Roman Catholic Priests, were each fined £ 5 at the Liverpool County Court, on Wednesday, being a mitigation of the fine of £ 20, for an assault upon a policeman named Robert Carter. On the 23d ult, Carter was sent in plain clothes to the neighbourhood of Bootle Castle, for the purpose of watching the movements of some lads who w- re suspected of having robbed a number of clothes lines in the district. A number of the lads suspected were seen by Carter loitering near one of the clothes lines in a most suspicious manner, and he had little doubt that they were going to commit some depredation, but the unexpected arrival of the owner of tbe clothes caused them to run away; whereupon Carter gave chase, and secured three of their number. In taking his prisoners to bridesvell, Carter was met by Mr Kelly and Mr Walsh, who asked him if he was their father, to which he replied, " No; I am a constable." The officer was then asked upon what charge he had apprehended the lads, but he would not tell. Mr Kelly then said, " You must let them go," and took hold of Carter's arm, while Mr Walsh seized one of the boys; a woman laid hold of another; and some dock labourers coming up at the time, rescued the third. The defence set up on behalf of the rev gentlemen was that they were not satisfied that Carter was a police officer, and a mitigation of the full fine was made on those grounds. WILD BOAR HUNTING iif FRANCE — A letter from Cannes, in the Journal de Nice, says :—" The Duke of Somerset and the Duke of Norfolk, who have been here for some time past, formed a party a few days since to hunt, wild bears in the forests of Mandelieu- les- Cannes. Early in the day the Duke of Somerset fell in with an enormous wild boar, which he fired at and wounded in the shoulder. The infuriated animal rushed on its assailant, who, having fired a second time without, effect, coolly awaited the onset, and, thrusting the bayonet of his gun down the monster's throat, killed it on the spot. After bagging a considerable quan- tity of partridges and other game, the noble sportsmen and their party went to the summit of the Pic du Grand Due, where a copious lunch had been prepared. The boar was afterwards cut up, carefully salted, and sent off to England." Some depreda- tions having been committed by a wild boar in the neighbourhood of Courcelles- sous- Moyencourt ( Somme), a hunting party was organised, which was joined by the Counts de Gomer andde Chassepot, Viscount de Forceviile, and some sportsmen of the neighbourhood. After an absence of two days the party returned to Courcelles, bringing with them the animal, weighing 2301b. READING ON RAILWAYS — The attention of medical men both in England and France has of late been drawn to the ill effects result- ing from the habit of reading while travelling by rail. Dr Legrand de Saulle remarks that reading under such circumstances is ex- tremely fatiguing to the eyes, owing to the jolting of the vehicle, and that this fatigue induces headache, and often orbitary pains round the eyes, with a slight congestion of the retina, which, when the habit has become regular and inveterate, and the sub- ject is advanced in age, may in the end determine in a real con gestion of the brain. FOURTEEN GENTLEMEN OF THE SOUTH v ELEVEN PLAYEKS OF ENGLAND. This, the last match of the season, was commenced at South- ampton on Monday, Sept 28, and notwithstanding the lateness of the fixture drew together a large concourse of spectators. A heavy rain commenced about five o'clock in the morning, and continued without ceasing until ten, when the heavy clouds cleared away, and the sun shone out bright and warm. The ground of course was much soddened by the rain, but by one o'clock it had dried sufficiently to commence play, and the Gentlemen having won the toss elected to go in. The Players' team was much weakened by the loss of H. H. Stephenson and Ellis, who were unavoidably prevented playing at the last moment— their substitutes being James Lillywhite and Tubb— whilst the gentlemen had to fill up the places of three very important men in Mr Kelson ( who was playing at St Albans), Mr Stewart ( the wicket keeper, who was ill), and Mr W. Hodson ( prevented by a family affliction). Mr E. M. Grace and Mr G. M. Ede were the first to represent the Gentlemen, Caffyn and James Lillywhite bowling, with T. Hearne at the wicket. Mr Grace hit Caffyn for three the second ball, and off the fourth Mr Ede scored t hree in the slips. The next three overs were maidens; but off' Lillywhite's third over Mr Grace hit a tremendous skyer to Stubberfield at long- on, but which the latter was unable to get quite to ; 20 now appeared on the telegraph, and off'Caffyn's next over the " great gun" hit a very difficult chance to Humphrey at square- leg, but which he failed to take, and when the score'had reached 24 Mr G. Ede had to retire, being well caught by Holmes at long- slip off Lilly white. Mr Lucas hit. his wicket the first ball, and Mr Campbell, after scoring two, gave a chance to Ttibb at mid- off, which was ac- cepted. After luncheon Mr Frederick joined Mr Grace, who had been hitting away in brilliant styie, but he had scored but two when Liliywhite bowled him clean. Mr E. L. Ede came next, and a stand was made for some time, until he played one of Lilly's breakbacks on, after scoring 6 ; this made five wickets for 58 runs. Mr Maturin was very busy during his short stay, being badly ran out when he had scored 9. Tom Hearne beautifully stumped Mr Truell when he had made 5, and then Mr Eccles came, and with Mr Grace brought on a change at both ends— Tubb going on at Caffyn's, and Stubberfield in place of Lillywhite. The latter, however, bowled but three overs, in the third of which Mr Eccles made two brilliant drives to the off for four and three, when he gave the ball up to Holmes, who in turn gave way to Lillywhite again, still withoutobtainingaresult; at length Humphrey went on in place of Tubb, and off his third ball Mr Eccles was well caught, fit short leg by Caffyn, Mr Fawcett also being bowled by him the first ball, whilst Mr Frere also had to succumb after marking 7 ; ten wickets were now down for 142. Mr Bailey soon found employment for the scorer, his 11 being very" quickly got, when he was run out. Mr Willmore came next, and at last Mr Grace's time had arrived, as he was beautifully caught by Caffyn at deep long- off from a fine drive from Lillywhite, after marking 112. He playe4 a mag- nificent hitting innings, and was loudly and deservedly applauded on retiring. He was missed when he had made 15, and. twice be- tween 60 and 70. Mr Lowe was the last, but ran out before he could score, the innings concluding at half- past five o'clock for 193, Mr Will more being ( not out) 6. TUESDAY was a lovely morning, and at 11: 40 Southerton and Hearne appeared at the wickets, Messrs Frere and Grace bowling, and Mr E. L. Ede keeping w icket. Southerton was the first to retire, having played one on from Mr Grace after scoring 2, and C; esar was bowled by a sparkler from Mr Frere, after marking 6. Caff'yn and Hearne then got together, and brought the score up to 35, when the latter had to retire, being caught at point, by Mr Frere for 19, which included a splendid straight drive for six off Mr Grace out of the ground. John Lillywhite joined Caffyn, and these two played steadily and well until the telegraph showed 60, when Mr Eccles relieved Mr Frere, and off his fourth ball Catt'yn was well stumped by Mr E. L. Ede. Holmes came next, and the score reached 74, when his companion was run out— a fine bit of fielding between Mr Ma- turin and Mr Ede; whilst off Mr Grace's next over Holme3 was caught at short leg without altering the total; and Lillywhite placed one in Mr Frere's hand after scoring 1. Stubberfield was bowled the first ball by the " slows," and Humphrey, after driving Mr Grace for 3, was beautifully caught by Mr Truell with one hand, low down, at mid off. Bailey and Tubb were the last two, and from 75 they brought the score to 91 by some smart hitting, when the former also gave Truell a chance, which was accepted. The Players, being in a minority of 102, had to follow their innings, and after half an hour's rest Caffyn and Hearne commenced the hitting, Mr Campbell and Mr Maturin bowling. The latter gentleman was not so much on the spot as usual, and the runs consequently came very fast. Caff'yn made the finest hit we have seen made this year off him to square leg, out of the ground, for 6, and when the score had reached 33 Hearne was well caught at long oft by Mr Eccles off' Mr Campbell, who was bowling beautifully. Ca; sar joined Caffyn, and these two put on 12 more runs, when the latter fell an easy victim to Mr Grace at point, also off Mr Campbell, who, the very next ball, shook Southerton's leg bail off. John Lillywhite, with Julius, made a good stand, and brought the score up to 70, when Mr Eccles relieved Mr Campbell, who had been bowling admirably, and Mr Fawcett succeeded Mr Maturin. The slow bowling, however, was doomed to " do the trick," as the first ball of Mr Eccles's second over clean bowled Julius, who had made 23 in real good style. Holmes filled the vacancy, aud when four more runs had been scored, Lillywbite! likewise was clean bowled by the " slows," after a carefully played 17. Humphrey scored only 2 when Mr Ede missed stumping him, only however to be bowled imme- diately after. James Lillywhite and Holmes placed 10 more on the score, when Mr Eccles found the way to the former's wicket, and Stubberfield, after marking one, was stumped by Mr Ede— a similar fate awaiting Bailey, who played well each innings, though the eleventh man each time; whilst Tubb, also, was unable to keep Mr Eccles's " queer stuff" away from tbe stumps, Holmes bring- ing out his bat for a well- got 15~ the innings amounting to 122, or 20 runs on. It was now half- past five ( nearly dark) and a heavy mist rising; the Gentlemen, however, deemed it useless to run the match into a third day for the sake of 20 runs, and accordingly Mr G. Ede and Mr Willmore were soon at the wickets, Southerton and J. Lillywhite bowling. They each scored 1 run, when tbe former was bowled and the latter given out leg before wicket to Southerton by Day ( rather " hard lines," considering the time and the badness of the light). Mr Frederick hit Southerton for 3, and was then clean bowled by Lilly, to whom also Mr Lucas fell a Victim— thus procuring for himself a brace of 0' s. Mr Bailey, by hard hitting, made 12, and Mr E. L. Ede drove Southerton for 3 into the shed, which won the match for the Gentlemen ( at five minutes before six) by nine wickets. And thus terminated one of the most successful seasons Hampshire has witnessed for many years; and in taking leave of the old county for the season, we wish it all success with the New County Club, and may many victories await it in 1864.

CKICKET AT RUGBY SCHOOL. RUGBY v RUGBY SCHOOL. This match was played on the School Ground on Sept 14 and 15, and ended in an easy victory for the Club in one innings, and with 77 runs to spare. The feature in the game was the fine innings of Martin, who did not give a chance till he had made 80 runs. Score: RUGBY. D. Buchanan, c Maton, b Batson 4 E. Shaw, c Vandermeulen, b < T. P.

Earle and C. E. Green. The whole side were soon got rid of for the small score of 6( 3. Messrs Knowles and Green then went in, and right merrily did the latter hit about. This gentleman, who has been very much off for the last month or so. was quite in his old form, and played a splendid innings of 158, which was well backed up by Messrs W. and W. J. Earle.

This match was played at the Priory Park, Chichester, on Tues- day, Sept 29, for the benefit of Gilbert, the bowler to the Priory Park Club. The Goodwood team coming weak to the tryst had to follow their innings. Hutchinson played an excellent ( not out) innings ; Gibbs and Eimhirst also did good service for the club, which, owing to other engagements, played a scratch eleven. The attendance was thin, but we hope and believe that Gilbert was well supported, most of his many friends being either present in purse or person. This being the closing match, the players, friends, and supporters of the game partook of an excellent hot dinner at Mr T. Purchase's Railway Hotel. Score: PRIORY PARK. H.

For the C's Lieut Brackenbury played a capital innings of 70, while Messrs Hildebrand, Goschen, Savage, Plunkett, and Ewing obtained their runs in their usual style. On the side of the B's Messrs Beaver, Awdry, Dodsworth, and Kennedy showed them- latter are abundantly supplied with" boats, and civil and honest boat- selves in good form with the willow.

SIK: For the information of your angling readers, I write you the experiences of a recent three weeks' salmon fishing in the waters of the Ballynahinch Fishery, in Connemara, Ireland. Without attempting the " tall" writing of your amusing and in- structive correspondent " Fin," I may state that the situation is sublimely grand, lying between the lofty ranges of the Twelve Pins, and within sound of the waters of the Atlantic, in the ex- treme west of the county of Galway. The river and lakes extend over 20 miles. The former is easily fished from the banks and the Goschen did not meet with the success it deserved. Score: B COMPANY. lat inn P. K. L.

The return match was played on Monday, Aug 31, and follow- ing days, and resulted in another victory for the C Company by 50 runs on the first innings. The B's were three men short, but it is not probable that their presence would have turned the tide in their favour. The batting of Messrs Beaver, Turner, and Hilde- brand, and the bowling of Messrs Beaver and Turner, deserve mention. Mr Goschen was unluckily bowled off his legs when on the point of eclipsing his former reputation. Score: C COMPANY. A. H. Gbschen, b Beaver 0 C. W. Kennaway, b Beaver 1 G. Hildebrand, b Reid 40 D.

On the 19th inst Major T , a gentleman well known in Brecon- shire, killed four salmon, one a fish over 2llb. He had killed over fifty salmon since August 4. The fish, too, areas unsophisti- cated as their own hardy mountaineers, and the tyro here has an equal chance with the old hand, two gentlemen during my stay, who had never fished for salmon before, having caught each four salmon during a week's fishing. The white trout here are abundant, and show excellent, sport. For quarters, Mr Robert- son's, at Derrudda Lodge, near Roundstone, close to the river, will be found all that an angler or " any other man" can desire, and moderate tariff. Here, also, good and civil attendants may be met with, " Pat Conneelly" and " M'Donogh" being two of the best who can supply you with flies. I should recommend a call on the way through at Kelly's, Sackvilie- street, Dublin, for general tackle, particularly his casting lines, which are unsur- passed. Route from London, by Irish mail via Holyhead to Dublin, thence rail to Galway, thence by Bianconi's car to the Canal Stage at Ballynahinch; time, about twenty- four hours. The season is now too far advanced for sport; the best months for salmon are April and May for spring fish, and September for summer. The fishery was, until this year, a net fishery, but since August, 1862, there has not been a net in the river, the weir has been removed, and the river and lakes given up to angling ex- clusively. The fishery is now to let, and a company of gentle- men anglers is talked of as likely to be formed, to preserve and keep it for angling alone.— Yours, T. G. Bristol, Sept 30. ARCHERY. On Wednesday, Sept 16, a private meeting was held at Mr Johnson's, Appleby, Lincolnshire, when many prizes were com- peted f © r. Each competitor shot one dozen arrows; the gentlemen were handicapped one half their score, so as to give the ladies a fair chance. The first prize was won by Miss Sowerby. A cup, which was shot for by upwards of sixty ladies and gentlemen, was the next, and when the scores were added up, Miss C. Johnson and Mr W. Thicke, of Dulwich, London, were found to be equal ( the latter having been handicapped), so of course it was decided by single contest. At the fourth arrow, Miss C. Johnson sent her arrow into the outer rim of the target,, and Mr Thicke into the red rim. The next prize was a bow and arrow, which was won by Miss C. Johnson. The next was the champion belt for the lady who could show the highest score, which also was awarded to Miss C. Johnson. The ladies and gentlemen who deserve especial notice for their shooting are the following :— Miss C. Johnson, Miss Johnson, Miss Sowerby, Miss C. Nelson, Miss E. Bennett; Messrs W. Thicke, Holgate, R. Johnson, Little, aud Coopland. BILLIARDS— Gentlemen who wish to learn or improve their game at billiards should get a few lessons from Mr W. White, the author of White on Billiards, at the New Opera Billiard- rooms, Bow- street, Covent- garden. His system of teaching is exclusively his own, and based on principles that ensure success.

The admirable bowling of Cotton, backed up as it was by Reid's wicket- keeping, and the fielding altogether proved too much for all except Behan, who played very well. Score: First Eleven 79, Second Eleven 37 and 27. THE AUSTEALIAN TWELVE.— We understand that the following plavers have been selected to go to Australia:— Mr E. M. Grace, J. Cajsar, Clarke ( instead of Mortlock, who declined the honour), Hayward, Carpenter, Tarrant, Parr, Anderson, Caffyn, Lockyer, J. Jackson, and R. C. Tinley. Each man has, we believe, received £ 50, which he has to return as soon as he has earnt that sum in the colonies. It is supposed that they will start in the Great Bri- tain, announced for the 14th of this month, and on the strength of it the twelve have been photographed by that eminent firm, Messrs M'Lean and Raes, of the Haymarket. May they be suc- CADOXTON V BEECON.— This match was commenced at Brecon oil Sept 23. The weather was very unpropitious, and it rained I nearly the whole of the first day aud part of the second.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK- LANE.— FRIDAY. All the grain marketsuon the continent of Europe have been more or less dull, the tendency f prices still being weak. On the other s'de of the Atlantic the markets were quiet when the last mall left, with the value of Wheat and Flour for export about the same as last reported. The various country markets held this week have been seasonbly well supplied with Wheat, in good condition. There has been an entire ab- sence of buoyancy in the trade, and in some places rather lower prices have again prevailed. With a general increaae in the supply of Barley, prices have given way Is to 2s per qr. Oats, Beans, and Peas have sold slowly at unaltered currencies. The arrivals of English Wheat and oth>- r grain of home produce at Mark- lane this week have been moderate, and the same remarks will apply to foreign Imports. The market was very scantily attended by millers this morning, and, al- though the business done in Wheat was limited, prices were not quoted lower for either English or foreign. The Flour trade was dull aud in- clining to lower rates. Barley quiet at Is to 2a decline. Oats were taken to a moderate extent., without change in prices, except for low qualities. The inquiry for Beans and Peas moderate at late rates.— Essex, Kant, and Suffolk, old white, 38s to 45s, ditto, new, 41s to 47s; ditto, old red, 4IE to 43s; ditto, new, * is to 44s, Norfolk, Lincolnshire, and Yorkshire, 41s to 43B.

Radford, three men, named James Parkin, Mark Tomlinson, and Thomas Henson, were committed for trial at the next Derby- shire Assizes on the charge of being concerned in a desperate poaching affray at Kilbourne on the night of the 21st September. Parkin, described as a bootmaker, and Tomlinson and Henwa as miners, were arrested shortly after ten o'alock in a field forming part of Denby Manor, the property of Mr W. H. Lowe, by two keepers and a member of the Derbyshire oon « tabulary. They were all armed with sticks, and made a desperate resistance, severely hurting Bonington, one of the keepers, and Marple » , the police- constable; but eventually two of them were overpowered and handcuffed, and the third was afterwards apprehended e » a warrant. Upon the prisoner Parkin was fonnd a net 80 yard* long, and in the field another net 80 yard* is length, some net degs, a bludgeon, and two freeh killed rabbits.

MONDAY, SEPT 28.— Settling occupied the attention of the somewhat scanty attendance of members early in the afternoon, almost to the entire exclusion of speculation, and as the great majority of those present left eirly in order to catch the afternoon train for Newmarket, there was but little actual business 011 future events done. Beyond some slight support awarded to Gemma nothing worthy of note was done on the Great Eastern Handicap. The only " feature," in fact, of the afternoon was the great firm- ness of Anfield for the Cesarewitch. After 1- 5 to 1 had been booked about him, he advanced to 14 to 1, which price was freely ac- cepted, and in one or two instances a point Jess taken. At the close, however, 11 to 1 was obtainable. Hurricane was 111 some little favour at 100 to 6, and Lioness and Drummer Boy were both inquired after, the former receding from 18 to I to 20 to 1 ( off), 25 to 1 being wanted about the latter. For the Cambridge- shire, Birdhill was firm at 15 to 1, and Catch ' em Alive and Borealis both in favour at 100 to 6. Otherwise the quotations sub- joined serve more to show the " market prices" for the great autumn handicaps than to represent much actual business done.

A general meeting of the Jockey Club was held at Newmarket 011 Wednesday last; present— Lord Coventry, Admiral Rous, Mr Alexander ( Stewards) ; Count Batthyariy, Duke of Beaufort, Lord Courtenay, Mr VV. G. Craven, Mr Greville, Lord Lincoln, Mr R. H. Nevill, Mr Payne, Mr Savile, Lord Uxbridge, Lord Westmore- land, Lord Winchilsea. A ballot took place, and the following gentlemen were elected members of the Jockey Club:— Duke of Sc Albans, Viscount New- port, Earl of Durham, Lord Rendlesliam, Capt Douglas Lane, Lord George Manners.— Adjourned. A general meeting of tlie Jockey Club will be held at New- market on Wednesday in the Second October Meeting, after the races, for a ballot and for other business. The following notices of motion have been given:— By the Earl of Winchilsea— That the following rule be inserted as No. 38 of the Rules of Racing, the subsequent rules to follow in order:— That any horse running in a race on whose behalf the conditions laid down in Rules 36 and 37 have not been complied with, shall be disqualified ( if a winner) from receiving the stakes, and shall be pronounced to be distanced." By Admiral Rous - That in Rule 36, the fine to be inflicted at the discretion of the Stewards shall be not exceeding 50 sovs in- stead of 25 sovs, as at present. In Rule 37, to insert after the words, " at the usual place of weighing before the race," the words " under a penalty'' not exceeding 10 sovs. That in that part of Rule 39 which relates to minor handicaps and two year old handicaps, Sst 10lb shall be substituted for 3st 71b. In Rule 40, after the words, " for any race," to add " excepting matches.'' By Mr Greville, seconded by the Duke of Beaufort— That the rule respecting half mile races, passed in the First Spring Meet- ing, on the motion of Lord Glasgow, seconded by Lord Strath- more, shall only apply to races to which money is given from the funds of the Jockey Club. By the Duke of Beaufort, seconded by Lord Westmoreland— In Rule 56, 011 the subject of claiming, to add after the words, " the liorse claimed shall not be delivered till he is paid for," the words " or 011 receipt of an order from the Clerk of the Course, or stake- holder, who shall then be responsible for the money." Tattoo has left Fobert s stable for W. Day's. The assumed name of Mr H. Madeline has been altered to Mr R. Raifort, and been registered accordingly. Mr E. Mills's colours have been altered to lemon jacket and purple cap. General Shirley's horses are now trained by W. Channel!, at Newmarket. A. Gray rode Tom Paine, by King Tom, at the late Hendsn Races, and not Way, as erroneously printed. The Maze October Races are fixed for Wednesday, Oct 28, and not the 21st, as previously advertised. Barbadoes and Mr Mellish have been added to the list of geldings. Mr James Smith's horses have left Treen's stable, and are now under the care of George Clements. Mr W. Nelson's horses are now under the care of Percy, the trainer. P. Price has sold Maltster and Singleman to go abroad, and has purchased Balderstone of John Osborne. LISMORE STEEPLE CHASES.— All have accepted for the Water- ford Plate of 80 sovs, three miles. George Clement, the jockey, is rapidly recovering from his late accident at Doncaster. Thomas Fordham, the jockey, is open to an engagement, either on the flat or as a steeple chase rider; weight 8st. Address, Cam- bridge. Mr W. G. Craven gave away Wild Duck to J. Goater for a hunter after her performance in a handicap at Newmarket © n Friday last. William Goater has bought of Mr J. Wyatt a remarkablyhand- some yearling colt, by Vedette out of Nutbourne's dam; the price was a stiff one. The two year old filly fey Sportsman out of Press Forward, winner of the Trial Plate at Newmarket, has been named Kate Coventry. Several of Baron Rothschild's horses have been drafted from their racing quarters, and left Newmarket on Friday last for the stud. The following have arrived at John Nightingall's, South Hatch, Epsom:— Lady Derby, Singleman, 2 yrs; Cheviot, the steeple chase horse; and five yearlings. Goose Step, 2 yrs, Zorah, 2 yrs, and Strathspey ( a yearling colt by Fandango out of Caterer's dam) have recently joined S. Rogers's string. Mr B. E. Dunbar has let his horse Ernest, by Stockwell out of The Countess of Albemarle, and he will stand at Theobald's Stud Farm, Enfield, next season. It was announced at Newmarket yesterday ( Friday) that Dic- tator, who went out to China in the same interest as Investment, had turned out an equally unfortunate purchase, having died off Gibraltar. Nine of Mr Chirnside's yearlings will be shipped this day ( Sa- turday) for their new home in Australia. Some of the new pur- chases have been " in residence'' at the Hasketon Stud Farm, in Suffolk. WOBCESTEB AUTUMN MEETING.— CLOSING OF STAKES.— At- tention is particularly called to an advertisement in our front page of the flat races and steeple chases, which close on Tuesday next, Oct 6. The advertisement of Gloucester Races, which appeared in the last sheet Racing Calendar, was inserted by mistake. As we stated a fortnight since, there will be no meeting at Gloucester this year. A fresh committee is being formed, and the meeting will go on as usual in 1864. The Cobbler, while running in the Metropolitan Plate at Man- chester on Saturday, Sept 26, came to grief in avoiding collision with a man who was crossing the course. Howarth, his rider, we regret to add, had his collar- bone fractured in the fall, the horse, too, being so badly lamed that he will run no more this year. W. Ford, Chettle Cottage, near Blandford, Dorset, has received permission from his employer, Prince Soltykoff, to take in horses as a public trainer. The training ground and stable accommoda- tion is of first- class order. W. Ford was for many years trainer to the late T. S. Drinkald, Esq. SHBEWSBUBY AUTUMN RACES.— Owners, trainers, and others are invited by our advertising columns to observe that the Shrews- bury Cup and the principal flat races, steeple chases, and Hurdle Race close on Tuesday next, Oct 6, to Messrs Weatherby; or to the clerk of the races, to whom application can be made for lists and particulars. — See Racing Calendar of Sept 25. STOCKTON RACES.— On Tuesday next, Oct 6, the Lambton Plate of 100 sovs ( in specie), without any deduction, added to a Sweepstakes of 25 sovs each, for two year olds of 1864, will close and name. For full particulars see advertisement. The hand- some addition to this stake, which bids fair to become a most im- portant one, should insure a large entry ; there are several sub- scribers already. YOBK RACES.— It will be seen by an advertisement in our front page that several stakes for York close and name on Tuesday next, including the North of England Biennial, Yorkshire Oaks, and Great Yorkshire Stakes, with 100 sovs added to each. No doubt the entries will be good, as there are already thirty names down to the Great Yorkshire Stakes, which ia for foals of the present year. The Leamington and Warwick Autumn Meeting will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov 24 and 25. Stewards: The Mar- quis of Hastings, the Hon W. H. North, and B. J. Angell, Esq. The Leamington Annual Steeple Chase, the Hunt Cup, and the Military Steeple Chases will come off on the 25th, being the second day of the meeting. NOTES FROM NEWMARKET, WITH AN- j TICIPATIONS OF COVENTRY, BEDFORD, | NORTHALLERTON, AND PERTH. One of the most successful and thoroughly enjoyable First October Meetings ever held on Newmarket Heath has passed oft' without producing any particularly startling incident; and as full details of the proceedings are to be found in another column, our remarks here must necessarily be but brief, for we have only to deal with those bearing on the future, and they can very quickly be disposed of. Not even the " speculative'' Free Handi- cap, published last week, was allowed to make a stir, as neither of the St Leger, Derby, nor Oaks " cracks" accepted the challenge to meet again, and the Cesarewitch is so liable to settle the question as to which is the best of the three left in, that the handicap causing such a sensation at one time may not produce a race after all. The opening Trial Plate scarcely deserved its name, in the absence of the only good- class horses entered; and Gemma being a non- starter for the Great Eastern, there was no interest attaching to the triumph of her stable companion, Bertha, in the T. Y. C. Handicap, for it was understood she herself did not perform in tlie great race, what- ever her chance for it might have been. The Hopeful, the prin- cipal two year old event of the meeting, did not introduce us to one notoriety for the Derby of 1834, as the eleven runners in- cluded but a trio who are engaged therein, viz, Yamuna, a filly by Orlando out of Himalaya; Baragah, a colt by Stockwell out of Mowerina; and Jupon, a colt by Newminster out of Trousseau. It was the first appearance in public of all three, the remaining eight having all been seen betore; but not one of them can be said to have shown " Derby form'' when Tomfoolery was within a head of the winner, which presented itself in Yamuna, who had been so favourably tried with Hesper that she was booked the good thing of the day. She has many good points about her, not the least prominent of which is gauieness, this quality being ex- hibited by Tomfoolery for the first time. Her cowardice alone lost her several events she had previously participated in; and when recollecting that she was beaten at Reading in such company as Good for Nothing and Bittern, we can only feel surprised at her owner plucky as he is, standing her on this occasion. Fille de l'Air ran well under the 91b penalty ; but the half mile was not her distance, and she did not beat Crytheia for third place so far as the Goodwood and Newmarket running entitled her to do. The fact of Baragah and Jupon being behind the pair, at the weights, completely settled what pretensions they might have been supposed to possess for the Derby, while the winner is not at all likely to follow in the footsteps of Blink Bonny over Epsom Downs. The Great Eastern Handicap, in the absence of Gemma and Su'mmerside, was of no importance to those interested in the Cambridgeshire, in which only Black Prince, Queen of Trumps, Plover, Bohemia, Fiancee, Juliet, and Stampede, of the twenty- four starters, are engaged; and, except that the start was one of the best ever accomplished, Croagh Patrick alone losing ground, the race hardly requires to be commented upon. It was an easy task for St Alexis, who, in company with Queen Elizabeth, ran away from the field at the finish; and he proved he is not quite the impostor many considered him last year, the operation per- formed upon him having evidently answered so well that there is no saying what he may not run into. He was once tried good enouoh to be backed at 20 to 1 for the Derby, it must be recollected, and we anticipate from him some day a considerable improve- ment even on his form of Tuesday last. In the Buckenham Stakes Hengist showed that he was getting into his Stockbridge and Winchester form again, when beating the Phemy filly, although it was only accomplished by a neck; and Cambuscan, in the Croome Stakes, displayed some of that improvement he promised when coming out here in the July week. for he beat Durham without an effort, and it will not be safe to measure him on his July Stakes running' with Midnight Mass, Becky Sharpe, and Scottish Chief, as he is not at all fit now, and but for his legs, which do not look like standing the preparation, he would have to be pro- nounced a Derby horse all over. Fantail made a complete ex- hibition of Escape in the Grand Duke Michael Stakes, but has yet to prove capable of staying the Cesarewitch Course with so much the worst of the weights, and it must be borne in mind she lias not yet won a race over a distance of ground. In the match between Lord of Linne and Tippler, the good odds laid on the latter were not justified with so much the worst of the weights, and the good fight he made of it, under the circumstances, does not injure the brilliant reputation he has earned for himself this season. The Fourteenth Triennial served as an admirable Cesare- witch trial for Hurricane, who met two good horses in Bucken- ham and Harlequin, but was unexpectedly bowled over by the latter, and did not at all satisfy her many backers for the more important event forthcoming, wherein she meets Harlequin again on lib worse terms, although there were many who held the opinion that Harlequin hindered her winning. Buckenham's prospects, seeing he was not persevered with, must be good, if they cannot find one to beat him at Findon, which we do not con- sider probable. Wednesday's sports were enlivened by the meeting of The Ranger, Tornado, Turcos, and Early Purl for the Triennial, the former having sufficiently recovered from what appeared a break- down at Doncaster for the gentlemen to stand him in preference to the highly tried Turcos, although it was palpable he had not done much work since the St Leger, and he could not muster speed enough to compete with either Tornado or Turcos. The latter looked all over the winner until near home, when he stopped to nothing ; and it is plain that, like many others, he can run better at home than in public, there being but a poor chance of bis improving in the performance among a crowd of horses in the Cambridgeshire, with a lad instead of a man on his back. Tornado is not engaged therein, her stable companion, Summerside, having been much better treated by the handi- eapper; and if she has not " gone off," the party may be com- pelled to back her as a good thing before the day. In the T. Y. C. Handicap Moulsey ran a greatly improved colt, and the same may be said of Liston when he beat Paddy O'Rourke so easily in their match, the result of which was dead against the Warwick running of the pair; but Merry Maid only did what she was bound to do in the D. M. Sweepstakes, when receiving a stone from a bad three year old like Knave of Trumps; and An- toinette was almost bound, on paper, to win the claiming Sweep- stakes, notwithstanding which she was a worse favourite at last than Galileo, a powerful " musician," in training till lately at Ilsley. Another Newmarket gentleman, who recently betrayed such a wonderful improvement at home, came out for the St Leger in Sandford, whose 71b allowance was supposed to reduce it to a certainty after the indifferent performance of The Ranger and Early Purl three hours previously; but he figured more in- gloriously than Turcos, and was beaten so far from home as to be shut quite out of the Cesarewitch with all his light weight. The Ranger and Early Purl ran a severe race home, and but for the former hanging towards his opponent, the black jacket might have succeeded in revenging the double defeat at York. Anyhow, the result proves The Ranger to have been out of all form, as he gave Early Purl a good lOib beating in the Great Yorkshire Stakes; but, at the same time, the fact of his running two races in one day without exhibiting the least symptoms of lameness raises a question whether his trainer did not err when supposing he broke down in the St Leger. The Granby further dis- played the softness of Linda, who could not struggle with Union Jack when the pinch came; but the latter is undoubtedly a great horse, and his defeat at Warwick, after the easy triumph over Light and others in Ireland, must be set down to the journey home having unset him. Thursday's Queen' 3 Plate served to negative the defeat of Hurri- cane, so far as her Cesarewitch chance is concerned, in the Trien- nial on Tuesday, as Harlequin ran a good race with Isoline, and showed Mr Valentine's mare in a much better light, it being not at all improbable she will see her old price in the market again, while we are strengthened in the opinion that Buckenham must be dan- gerous in the race also. The plating of the day told us nothing beyond the fact of Land of the West being many pounds better than the handicapper had been led to give him credit for; and the performance of Ely in the Triennial was not sufficiently defi- nite for him to take his old place among the Derby cracks, when he beat Tomato a head only. There is nothing to boast of in the defeat of Evelina, a3 she lost all chance by turning round at the start; and good- looking as Mr Cartv? right's colt is, he must not take too much credit for the defeat of Linda and Fille de l'Air at Doncaster, as their subse- quent running proves that neither could have been in the same form as at York and Goodwood, and that Ely could only have beaten them by superior gameness, a quality that got him through his race to- day, and will stand a good friend to him in the struggle for the blue riband of 1864. The Rutland was a complete upset of the previous running of Acolyte and Claremont, and that no one would take cognisance of the result of tiieir con- test was patent from the disposition to back Claremont for the Derby afterwards, and lay against Acolyte. We have little to comment upon in the result of either of Friday's contests, Fille de l'Air and Midnight Mass having been bound to beat their opponents in the two Sweepstakes for two year olds; and there was nothing extraordinary in The Monk carrying off the October Handicap, when he was almost turned loose on his own course, and more important still backed very heavily. He has 111b more weight to carry in the Cambridge- shire, and we cannot say much for either his prospects or those of Man- at- Arms, who was second to him, and meets him again on better terms, while those behind the pair that happen to be engaged must be quite out of both the Cesarewitch and Cam- bridgeshire. The meetings taking place between the First and Second Octo- ber weeks are generally of the quiet sort, and those at Coventry on Monday and Tuesday next, Bedford on Wednesday and Thursday, Perth on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and Northallerton on Friday and Saturday, will not supply excep- tions to the rule, although they will doubtless be very attractive in their respective localities. Several jumping races assist in the making up the Coventry bill of fare, and the principal events to be found in the list consist of the two handicaps, one being over the mile course, and the other over half a mile longer distance. The quality of those en- gaged is very moderate, and Doncaster may be discovered good enough to give the weight away required, and win at least one of the two races. Only three of the ten events in the Bedford list are as yet com- pleted, the most valuable of these being the Bedfordshire Stakes, two miles, wherein Oberon ( 5 yrs, Sst 61b), Captain Crow ( 4 yrs, Sst 41b), and Lord of Linne ( 4 yrs, 7st 121b) are not overburthened with weight; and if Oberon comes to the post in the form he ex- hibited at Ipswich three months ago, there should be little if any doubt of his winning. In the Two Year Old Stakes, half a mile, the Teddington filly and Faith are penalised ; Junius and Diomed, on the contrary, taking allowances; but the weight will hardly stop the first- named over this short course, and the stake is well worth her travelling from Newmarket for. In the Scurry Handicap, half a mile, there are only fifteen sub- scribers, and of these some four or five are in Wadlow's stable; while Lord Coventry and Mr Hughes each own a couple, the latter gentleman appearing the most dangerous, for Vigil and Juliet are let in at 6st 121b, and the old mare ran very fast for half a mile in the Eastern Counties Handicap. For the Royal Caledonian Hunt and Perth Meeting there is a handicap each day, the Caledonian being over two miles, the Perth over a mile and a half, and the Hotel over a mile and three furlongs, Joey Jones having accepted for them all. Mr Temperley has also a second string for the Perth Handicap in Alice, and his colours ought to figure conspicuously in the three contests. At Northallerton the entries are respectable, nineteen being in the North Riding Handicap ( one mile and a half) on the first day, and a dozen in the Northallerton Handicap ( one mile) on the second. Watson's stable is strongly represented in them both, and Miss Armstrong is so leniently treated that at least one of the prizes may go to Richmond, Sledmere being about the second- best looking to the representative. The Ainderby and Harewood Plates are both T. Y. C. scrambles that we cannot interfere with pending the first day's running. THE BREEDING OF RIDING HORSES.

In our advertising columns will be found particulars of a new Biennial Stakes of 10 sovs each, with 40 added each year, to close the Tuesday after the Houghton Meeting, which already masters 15 subscribers. MONMOJTH RACES, 1864.— The Stewards Elect at Monmouth next year are the Duke of Beaufort, Lord Uxbridge, Lord Here- ford, and the Hon Wyndham Quin. A new Biennial, to be run in 1864 and 1865, for two and three year olds, to which will be added 50 sovs each year, to close on the Tuesday after the Houghton Meeting, was got up under the auspices of the Duke of Beaufort during the meeting last week, and was much supported by the noblemen and gentlemen present. The course will be greatly im- proved next year, as some property adjoining is about to be thrown into it, whereby the top turn will be rendered much easier, and the straight run in materially increased. For many years the Royal Agricultural Society kept the breed- ing of riding horses at arm's length. The Council suffered their small solitary premium for the best stallion to drop through, too readily convinced that nothing could come of it; and, thus, at several shows any exhibition of this kind was mainly attributable to some local provision. Since, however, the great meeting at Middlesborougli, where Voltigeur won the Cleveland hundred, an immense improvement lias been observable. It was seen that, if only properly cared for, a good entry of well- bred horses might be obtained by an agricultural association; and adopting the suggestion we made in our report of that famous horse and hound show, the Royal Society took up the hundred guineas' offer for a thorough- bred stallion. Other incentives in the same direction have since found their way into the prize sheet, until the riding horse lings have come to rank as the most attractive features in the week's business. The Journal becomingly follows suit, and the number just out has two articles specially devoted to the breeding of horses, the very opening paper of the Part being a letter thus headed, from Mr W. Dickenson, to the Speaker of the House of Commons— both good authorities on the subject; as Mr Denison is known to be a capital judge, and Mr Dickenson was long in business as a London jobmaster and dealer. The companion con- tribution is the prize essay 011 the breeding of hunters and road- sters, by Mr J. Gamgee, senior, of the Edinburgh New Veterinary College; and certainly a very remarkable production in such a place. Through the history of the breed of horses— of what they were before the Roman Conquest— of the introduction of the Arabian— the cavalry of Julius Ca; sar— or the lengthy dissertation on " the physiology of progression"— it is not our purpose here to follow the writer, but rather to come at once to the more prac- tical points of his argument. The prize essay, then, of the Royal Agricultural Society goes almost dead against the horse shows as tending in any way to benefit the country; on the contrary, it absolutely bristles with objections. Referring to the £ 100 pre- mium for the thorough- bred stallion, Mr Gamgee says:—" This has not yet shown the promise of much fruit-. Indeed, there now appears some signs, if not conclusive evidence to show, that only no good end is likely to result, but that this large prize tends rather to defeat the object for which it was so liberally set 011 foot. Without some annexed conditions, no guarantee is afforded that the recipient of the money uses his horse so as to make him available for the breeders of hunters and roadsters. The large prize has either fallen on a horse of high renown, which was serving mares at a fee such as none but breeders for the Turf can afford to pay, or else it has been given to a young horse, which should have won his way to favour gradually by his merits, and thereon the price for his services is increased to an amount which places him quite beyond the means of breeders of hunters. Unconditionally as this prize is given, any one of the renowned stallions which eoveis at from £ 10 to £ 50 may be walked into the yard arid obtain the prize, thereby deterring the owners of more eligible horses from going to the expense and trouble of bringing them to en- counter defeat. The line of distinction drawn between the first prize horse and his competitors is frequently also too broad ; and this leads to discontent and complaint against the decision of the judges. The tendency of this prize, then, seems on the whoie to be rather to deter than encourage the keepers of really useful country stallions. Indeed, it may be questioned whether the whole system of awarding prizes to stallions by the local agricultural societies of England for some years past has not tended to exhaust the means fer procuring a good liorse. Prizes, when given without restrictive clauses, act as an advertising medium, to such an extent that the prize horses of one year have very rarely been found in England the next season; and as premiums are usually given at the age of three and four years, the animal has been of little service prior to exhibition and sale. Prize mares go abroad as well a3 stallions." Mr Gamgee would thus, in the first place, sad. lle the only na- tional £ 100 we have for the best stallion with a number of petty conditions, such as that he should serve mares at three or four guineas each, travel within a certain radius of the place of meet- ing, and so forth. He might as well wish to see a clause en- forcing the sale of the winner of the Derby for five hundred. It would be a good day for the horse- breeding of this country if we could have all the very best sound and stout stallions contending for the Royal's hundred ; awarded as it is, let us remember, not to the most successful race horse, the most fashionable pedigree, or the sire of the speediest stock, but to a horse whose power, symmetry, action, and quality promise something in his name for getting hunters ana roadsters. It is the example we require, and if Stockwell, like Voltigeur, would condescend to show, so much the better. Further than this, the effect by no means ends with the winner of the hundred, as the owner of many an " eligible horse" has found it to his advantage to enter, although he may have obtained no notice from the judges. There is, as Mr Gamgee himself admits, no other such an advertisement for calling attention to the merits of a good animal, whether for sale or use. Take for example what Mr Dickenson say3 in another part of this verv journal:— " I have sent six mares fifty miles to a thorough- bred stallion that I saw at Battersea. I would advise any anxious breeder to look at those exhibited at the Royal Agricultural Show, with the view of selecting one for his purpose for the ensuing year." We our- selves know of another thorough- bred horse exhibited, but without taking a prize at Battersea, that was well let in consequence. More attention is called to the matter, and if there is a good one left amongst us you have a chance of seeing him, though not if you go to stipulate that only third or fourth rate animals shall be eligible." For our own part we should like to see the conditions still more open, and allow the first horse of one year to enter again and again until a better could be found; but at present a stallion that has once taken the hundred cannot hereafter show for it. It is certainly difficult to provide any enactment whereby a man shall be prevented selling a good horse, but is it a common occurrence, as Mr Gamgee maintains, that a stallion which has won a prize rarely remains in England beyond one year of his doing so ? as, with or without restrictive clauses, the advertisement would come to much the same thing by the end of the season's service enforced. On the contrary, in Yorkshire, the very capital of the show system, thorough- bred stallions travel year after year with whole necklaces of medals commemorative of the premiums they have gained ; while a man who has once tasted blood in the way of a prize is pretty certain to try again, though he may find a market for his first horse. Again, our author says these premiums are usually given at the age of three and four years Negatur, as, we believe, if a complete list could be consulted, it would be found that the aged prize stallions would be in an im- mense majority over the three and four years old ; while in the absence of such a record let us be content to turn to the experi- ence of these four £ 100 premiums. In 1860, at Middlesborough, the first and second prize horses Voltigeur and The Cure, were both aged, as were the two highly commended, Fandango and Lord Fauconberg. At Leeds, in 1861, the winner, Nutbourne, was four years old, and the second, Sir John Barleycorn, aged. At Battersea, in 1862, Ellington was aged, and Marionette 6 years old, with old Sir John highly commended ; while at Worcester this year the first and second prizes, Neville and Cavendish, were aged, and the third, Cambondo, six years old. Mr Gamgee pro- ceeds to express his approval of " exhibitions of foals with their dams at local agricultural shows as affording encouragement for breeding, and as the first and best means of bringing good stallions into early favourable notice;" but " there are objections to awarding prizes to gelding colts at various ages, either as hunters, nags, or carriage horses: in the first place the breeder has encouragement enough in the probable price he will realise for a good colt; but a second and more positive objection is, that good colts are so pampered by feeding and by being kept up in the stable, that they seldom turn out good for much afterwards; and here, again, the open system of giving prizes has led to the colt being taken from place to place; whilst a wise farmer would not enter into competition of fat against form, a pampered horse against a well- kept and level formed one, gradually growing into worth." It is well that the word farmer is introduced here, or we confess that we should have scarcely realised the purport of the paragraph. There are, no doubt, colts pampered by overfeeding, but as a rule certainly not those bred by farmers, or such as are even sent by them to agricultural shows. The objection, we fear, is, or has been, so far all the other way; while luckily our judges are sufficiently well chosen as rarely to suffer mere fat to beat form, or pampering to overcome points and action. We have seen as much as most people of the show ground, where an overdone stal- lion is a common sight enough, but not so the " pampered " young riding things from a farmer's homestead. Mr Gamgee has already spoken to the uses of these meetings as advertisements, and there are now few places where a clever colt would promise to sell better. However, Mr Dickenson also thinks " prizes for geldings un- necessary, and that they can have no effect upon the object re- quired ;" an opinion in which we altogether disagree with him A look at a prize four year old will tell the farmer the sort of horse he should try to go for, and how he should cross the old mare with the thorough- bred sire, a recipe upon which the two essayists are, of course, unanimous. Mr Dickinson, again, doubts whether the Royal hundred has yet reached its aim, or if it did at Battersea, where, as it happened, " a winner of the Derby or St Leger, a horse that will never be taken from his own stable door, comes to an agricultural show, exhibits himself there, and walks off with the prize." Still Mr Dickenson is by no means so strong in his condemnation ef the system as the prize essayist, for he allows that " at Battersea the best stallions were brought from all parts of the country," aud that " this prize indicated a great fact; a hint sug- gestive of what may be done by the £ 100 prizes towards restoring our losses, aud bringing us back again to our original position. It has illustrated the great principle that such rewards are highly esteemed by the owners of valuable horses, and will induce them to keep them to show for such prizes." Messrs Dickenson and Gamgee are thus directly at variance as to the effect of these pre- miums, which by the one showing will lead to owners keeping their horses, and, by the counter argument, to their getting rid of them! Both agree in lamenting the results arrived at from the extension of two year old races in deteriorating the really useful qualities of the thorough- bred horse, but Mr Gamgee does little more than hint at any means for correcting this evil and providing the country with a better stamp of stallion ; while Mr Dickenson goes directly to the point in this wise:—" The nation should take care that the nation's horses are not ruined by giving money to produce that end [ betting]. The royal gifts were bestowed expressly with the national object of improving our general breed of horses, which were brought to a high state of perfection by the means used. The conditions of the plates were altered; we have failed in our aim, and now have two classes of horses— blood horses without substance, and strong horse3 without blood. Both are bad for common purposes. We want the combination of strong blood horses with the country mares of all kinds. We shall get it by retracing our steps and returning to the old plan— the Royal Plates for four year olds lOst 41b, for five list 61b, six and aged 12st, not four mile heats as of old, but one four mile race. This, I think, must be the starting point if we are ever to recover our lost position for fine blood horses. Nothing can be expected from Turf arrangements ; wretched as the system is of making good and bad equal' and destructive as it is to the quality of our horses, it does promete sport, and it does produce betting— the final object of keeping race horses. It would be a great stimulus to the recovery if his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales ( who well knows the value of blood in horses ridden across the country) were to add some royal plates for the same high weights, varying the distance to a race of three miles. The money given by lord- lieutenants of counties, the members of Parliament, and towns plates, shouM all be given with the national interest in view, and this would assist very much to expedite the improvement. This should be followed up by agricultural societies' prizes for these horses, as though they were of equal importance with cattle, sheep, and pigs Prizes should be given for thorough- bred horses of three, four, five years, and aged horses, such as have served mares during the season as country stallions at a country price; blemishes should not exclude, but only lame feet, unsound wind, spavin, and curbs, all of which may affect the rising geseration." This is well put, whatever may come of it, with the exception that the country price must be a clause only in the conditions of a country meeting. For the royal premium, as for the royal plate, let us have the best horses in the world if we can only induce them to enter. It would, no doubt, tell immensely in favour of any horse, however high his character, if he could, like Volti- geur or Ellington, add to his repute by carrying off a premium as the best thorough- bred horse calculated to improve the breed of the sound and the stout; at the aame time the very fact of his doing so would give an eclat to the occasion, and command an attention that could not fail to be beneficial. For this reason we are inclined to think that the offer of handsome prizes on the show ground will really work better than the grants of heavy- weight plates on the Turf. Under the present system, deeply rooted and extended as it is, who would think of keeping a horse to win a four year old hundred, when he might be worth thou- sands if in work at two or three years old ? As a speculation to pay everybody breeds thorough- bred horses, in the first instance, for racing purposes, and it will be difficult to get away from this. When though they leave this arena let us look up the right sorti through the agricultural shows, a means that we must insist has already done some good, and that if properly supported, is sus- ceptible of becoming a yet more useful agent. The Royal Agri- cultural Society is most assuredly pursuing the right path, and the £ 100 offer may be already regarded either in its influence or attraction as an established success. We speak with a long experience of these meetings, and consequently with some sur- prise, when we see one of the Council's chosen champions attempt- ing to qualify so materially the obiect of a national exhibition. Let the royal meetings show alike the best cattle, the best sheep, and the best horses in the world: Master Butterfly, Voltigeur, and the Babraham Downs, so long as we can find them. ' RICHMOND RACES — On Tuesday next, the 6th inst, the Wright Stakes,* for now yearlings, and a Sapling Stakes, for now foals, will close and name.

Ample promise was held forth that the sport at the first of the three autumnal gatherings at head quarters would be fully up to the average, to say nothing of the further movements likely to be brought to bear upon the great events of the two following and more important meetings— tlie Cesarewiteli and Cambridgeshire. This promise was abundantly fulfilled, and most glorious weather moreover betided the opening of the reunion, so that the time- honoured Heath, famed " in story and in song" for many a memorable struggle, never at this particular season wore a more cheerful or inviting aspect. The five o'clock express train from Shoreditch on Monday was the one most especially patronised by the metropolitan division, and the numbers'that availed themselves of ft at once testified that, while the sport was likely to be interesting, visitors would be nu- merous and the meeting a " full one.'' It was somewhat late however, before the train reached Newmarket, and as a matter of course later still before the " Manchester division" arrived, so that although a few subscribers " dropped into the room" — as the phrase goes— not a single wager of note was made; neither did anything material transpire the following morn- ing before proceeding to the course, although Gemma, as 011 the previous day in town, was still, nominally at least, first favourite for the Great Eastern Handicap. Of " the dozen items originally " set down'' in the programme for Tuesdav the card contained ten for decision, for the match between As- teroid and Tim Whiffler for the Cup and 200 sovs each, was " off by consent," as anticipated, it being generally known that neither was in condition to run, while Mr Craven's Little Savage " re- ceived " from Admiral Rous's Kromeski. If, as already intimated, more glorious weather never favoured the inauguration of the series s » f autumn meetings here, so, perhaps, was the Heath never in better going order, for— in " oofldition" at times when other ground is totally unfit for racing— it was to- day, after the late rains, springy and elastic to a degree, al- though later 011 it became somewhat heavier going. Com- mencing at ten minutes past twelve with the Trial Plate, A. F., which closed over night with eight entries, half a dozen of the same went to the post, the absentees being Carisbrook and Erin go Bragli; although the number of " rightful'' starters was in reality only five, for T. French having arrived too late to declare 31b overweight for Iphigenia, he rode that filly without having declared in time. The betting on this race w: as chiefly confined to Naxos and the Gentle Kitty colt, but the pair were bowled over by Mr Holland's little- thought- of and unbacked filly by Sportsman out of Press Forward, who, entered for 100 sovs, got a 71b allowance. The winner— the first of Press Forward's produce that has been out, as well as the first bred by Mr Dunbar— was claimed by Mr T. Taylor for Mr Savile, and subsequently named Kate Coventry. Bertha had no difficulty in disposing of her brace of three year old rivals— Leotard and Prince Lee Boo— for the T. Y. C. Handicap Sweepstakes; and next came the Hopeful Stakes, which attracted eleven of the twenty- eight entered, of whom fifteen ware " coloured,'' including Ab- derrahman, who was receiving 141b for his Arab sire- sliip. Yamuna, who came out with a good private repu- tation on the report of a favourable trial with Hesper, was made a warm favourite, although her owner only backed her at odds averaging 2 to 1 for about £ 150; Fille de FAir, notwithstanding her 9ib penalty, was in some demand at 4 to 1, while next in request, at double those odds, were Crytheia and Breeze ( sister to Wing). The favourite pulled her backers through cleverly enough, but only a head from Tomfoolery, and as the latter finished three quarters of a length in front of Fille de l'Air, it would seem that Mr Payne's filly has improved upon the form lately displayed by her, making all allow- ance for the French filly's penalty. The winner is a neat, wiry chesnut filly, and was purchased by Lord Stamford at the sale of Her Majesty's yearlings for 600^ s. Zeloo, as in duty bound, beat The Hare and Atlas over the T. Y. C., leaving ample time to weigh out the jockeys for the Great Eastern Handicap. During the morning speculation was pursued, though not oyer actively, 011 this event, but it was subsequently put at " sixes and sevens" when it was discovered that neither Poland— struck out at eleven o'clock— Gemma, nor Summerside, who had been made the leading favourites in London, would be among the starters. Another lesson, if another were wanted, of the extreme advisability in races of this kind of waiting until " the numbers are up." On the trio just alluded to thus making their exeunt Fiancee came gradually from 25 to 1 to 8 to 1, and Cassidia, on the with- drawal of her stable companion Gemma, advanced from 25 to 1 to 11 to 1, although the ardour of her backers presently cooled down, and three or four points more were at last laid against her. Open- ing at the same price as Cassida, both Humphrey and Welland came to 100 to 8, and by the time the numbers went up, as little as 5 to 1, and in some instances a point less, was taken about the latter, while Croagh Patrick rapidly rose from 20 to 1 to 100 to 12. These were the principal " ups and downs" in connection with the wagering by the time the twenty- four starters were " tele- graphed"— precisely the number that did battle for it last year. With very little delay Mr M'George dropped his flag to a capital start, although Croagh Patrick, dwelling at the post, got off' on very bad terms, which induced the notion that he had been actu- ally left behind altogether, as indeed he might as well have been for what part he took in the race— a matter of sore disappoint- ment both to his owner and backers. The result was most tin- looked for, resulting as it did in favour of St Alexis, who defeated Queen Elizabeth by three quarters of a length, while Juliet, who started about " third best" favourite, landed the " place money" with which she had been entrusted, a length from the second. The winner had been so lightly esteemed that, like the second placed, he started at 100 to 6, and Sir Joseph Hawley only backed him for about £ 50. It is hardly surprising, however, that he was little thought of, seeing that he liad been for some time out of training, doing duty as a hack. A short time ago, however, his new trainer, Porter, put him into work again, and " the Saint," who was added to the list of geldings some time back, being sent to Newmarket, thus brought the " offchance" off. Lord Portsmouth elected Hengist as his champion for the Buckenham Stakes, T. Y. C., the solitary oppo- nent of the namesake of the Saxon monarch being the Phemy filly. It was a close contest with the pair, and Hengist, after hanging a good deal, just managed to stall oft the favourite by a neck. The Croome Stakes, like the Buckenham, was reduced to a match, the competitors being Cambuscan and Durham. Odds of 7 to 4 were laid on the former, who looked remarkably well, though reported short of work, and waiting upon Lord Ux- bridge's colt to the cords, he came away aud defeated him by two lengths. The Grand Duke Michael Stakes only produced a trio of runners, for although the entry, time back, contained some formidable names, Fantail, Escape, and Melrose were now the " fag end'' left to fight it out, and of these Fantail was so much better than the other pair that with 5 to 4 on her she cut them down by three lengths. The knowing ones, however, made a mistake in laying 7 to 4 on Tippler in his Match with Lord of Linne, for good as he has proved himself this season, he was un- able after all the work he has done to give a year and 41b to Mr Ten Broeck's horse, whose clever win at Lewes some of the layers of odds would appear to have overlooked or too lightly esteemed. Although the Triennial Produce Stakes, like the Grand Duke Michael Stakes, only attracted three runners to the post, it yet excited no ordinary amount of interest from bringing out the Whitewall mare Hurricane— who had been backed for money for the Cesarewitch— to test her staying powers from the " Ditch in.'' She was opposed by Mr Savile's pair, Bucken- ham and Harlequin, the latter, although trusted especially by his party, being the " worst favourite." Hurricane managed to finish far enough in advance of Buckenham, as she did last year, but suffered defeat from Harlequin by a » eck, the lot being all " groggy'' enough by the time they had struggled home. Har- lequin and the favourite at the finish ran in such close companion- ship as to bring them into collision, and rumours of an objection to the winner were rife: 110 protest, however, was made. The effect of this " bowl over" was to send the mare from 100 to 6 to double that price ( offered) for the Cesarewitch, while not more than 33 to 1 was proffered " on the spur of the moment" against Harlequin. After Fantail's race she was backed for the Cesare- witch at 30 to 1, and for the Cambridgeshire at 40 to 1, while after the defeat of Durham by Cambuscan 20 to 1 was taken about the latter, and 66 to 1 offered agst Lord Uxbridge's colt for the Derby. The further doings duiing the afternoon up to six o'clock, as well as the wagering still later in the Boom, will be found appended to the day's racing.

The favourite made play, attended by Kate Coventry and the Bretby colt on her right, Real Jam wide of them on the left, followed a length or two off by Iphige- nia and Blanchette in the centre of the track. They ran in this order to the bushes, when the last named pair were disposed of, Real Jam also having had enough of it half way down the hill, and falling back simultaneously with Naxos, who swerved across the course, Kate Coventry, thus left in advance, was im- mediately challenged by the Gentle Kitty colt, who nearly reached her in the last half dozen strides, but the filly running the longest won by three quarters of a length; Naxos, who came again at the finish, being beaten only a head for second ; bad fourth. Mr T. Taylsr claimed the winner for Mr Savile. Run in 2min 18sec. A HANDICAP of 20 sovs each, and 5 ft if declared, & c, for three year olds and upwards; the second received the forfeits; T. Y. C.

Among other incidents causing a brief delay at the post was the evident determination to secure for Croagh Patrick a good place in front, but who, oddly enough, stood still when the flag fell, and was at least four or five lengths behind everything when eventually spurred into motion. Otherwise the start was one of the best ever effected on the plains of Newmarket, all, with the exception named, getting away in a widely stretching line, with colours glistening in the sun. Peahen, Queen Elizabeth, and St Alexis were first made out in advance, tne former slightly in command on the left, these, however, being immediately joined by Littlecote, who more than once appeared to have the best of it, though the running in chief at the commencement was made by Mr Nelson's mare. The division on the whip- hand of the latter, besides the trio men- tioned, included Bohemia, The Principal, Fiancee, Lady Abbess, Cassidia, J uliet, Humphrey, Stockinger, and Fravola, those most prominent on the extreme right being Walloon, Queen of Trumps, and Welland. Rather more than two furlongs were covered in this order, when the lead was taken by the over- pulling Queen Elizabeth, level with whose quarters as they streamed 011 to the cords were Bohemia, St Alexis, and Fiancee, followed ( 011 the retirement soon after of Littlecote and Lady Abbess) by Juliet, The Principal, Stockinger, Peahen, and Queen of Trumps. The decline of the favourite, and one or two others at first figuring in the van, next engaged attention, but nothing more important oc- curred until about a distance from the chair St Alexis took his colours to the fore, and having only Queen Elizabeth actually sticking to him in the concluding twenty yards, defeated her very cleverly by three quarters of a length. Juliet rushing up at the finish obtained third " situation" a length off, nearly as far in front of Bohemia, who was fourth, with Fiancee at her side. Peahen was next, clear of them, succeeded by Stockinger, The Principal, Queen of Trumps, Cassidia, Humphrey, and Black Prince; the last lot comprising. FravoIa, Airedale, Creole, the Calliope colt, and Croagh Patrick, the latter never making up much leeway. Run in lmin 14sec.

The favourite then making her effort, reached Harlequin's head and raced with liim for a few strides, but the latter, answering a final call, again obtained the best of it, and won a tremendous race by a neck; bad third.

The members assembled but slowly, and it was not until past ten o'clock that anything in the way of business was at- tempted. For the Cesarewitch Antield did not exhibit the same firmness as of late, and at the close 16 to 1 could have been obtained. Lioness, from a commission being in the market, was in request, and so freely supported that 100 to 6 became her closing price, at which she was backed to win some thousands. Biackdown was somewhat nnder a cloud, and the fondness exhibited by his sup- porters prior to dinner having cooled down, 25 to 1 was currently offered against him. Sandford was again in request, and backed in earnest, in consequence of a rumoured creditable performance with Magnum Bonum, his closing price ( 25 to 1) being with difficulty obtainable. Of the others enumerated in our " price current," those most in request were Drummer Boy, Limosina, Agag, and Twilight. For the Cambridgeshire, Birdhill re- tained his pride of place at the quoted odds, and 100 to 6 was repeatedly taken both about Borealis and Catch ' em Alive. Turcos was also inquired after, and supported to some money at 20 to 1. Limosina, from the demonstra- tion made in her favour for the Cesarewitch, receded at the finish to 40 to 1 ( offered), at which price Cairncastle and Polynesia found friends. Merry Hart was not in demand, all sorts of prices being offered against him, until his noble owner came to the rescue, and took 50 to 1 to win a large stake. Despair, Baldwin, and Soap- stone were at the same time backed, but for small amounts, at the like odds. Later in the evening Romanoff came under notice, and was supported at 50 to 1. 1,000 to 15 was noted down against Fanfaron, and 1,000 to 10 against Comet.

These positions were maintained for about two hundred yards, when the Baron's filly gave way, leav- ing Tomfoolery slightly in command of Crytheia, Yamuna, and Audacieuse to the top of the hill, where the latter beat a retreat, while Lord Stamford's filly catching Tomfoolery half way in the cords defeated her cleverly by a head. Fille de l'Air, three quar- ters of a length from the second, finished as far in front of Cry- theia, who was fourth, Baragah and Breeze being next, close up with her, succeeded by Audacieuse, Jupon, and Olivia, whipped in by Abderrahman, who was out of the race almost as soon as it began.

The opening Sweepstakes going off in a walk over for Mr R. Ten Broeck's Novice— who received half the " Fifty Pounds"— active business on the Heath did not commence until nearly half- past one, thus allowing extra time for settling at the Room, and for the disposal of a few lots of blood stock by Messrs Tattersall, consisting of three, the property of the late Mr J. Daley; andafewyearlings, one of which— Portland, by Rataplan out of Clemency— was rather facetiously'' set down'' in the catalogue as " the property of a gentleman having no room for him." The at- tendance, like the racing itself, exhibited some diminution to- day, there being no " Great Eastern'' on the cards to attract the " mil- lion.'' The Fifteenth Triennial, with 39 subs, only produced four runners, the form of the majority being so very moderate that The Ranger, despite his having been " all wrong" lately, was made the favourite, although Tureos had many friends. Tornado, too, was fancied by a few 011 account of a favourable " rough up," and invested on at 5 to 1, the latter price being also taken about Early Purl. The pace was bad throughout; Turcos, who had been lately backed for the Cambridgeshire, making best part of the running, but he stopped to nothing a short distance from heme; and Tornado, after receiving a touch of the steel, beat him by a length and a half, the Ranger finishing as far behind the favourite. The latter, who ran in a plaster, with a cloth over it, on the near fore leg, ran game enough, but ap- peared deficient in pace at the finish; but although he pulled up very lame at Doncaster, after running in the St Leger, he ex- hibited no symptoms of it to- day. At Doncaster he was generally reported— on authority too— to have " broken down;" but we have since been informed by his trainer that on getting him home things were found to be not so bad as at first antici- pated, and by care and skilful treatment, he was " patched up,'' for his Newmarket engagements. A Handicap, T. Y. C., for two year olds followed, and Annington, who ran forward in the Nursery, at Doncaster, was made first favourite, but Lord Bateman's colours were triumphant by the aid of Moulsey, a very useful looking colt, who, after running a Selling Race at the Derby Meeting, was sold to his present owner for 135gs. Liston proved in betterform t han Paddy O'Rourke, whom he defeated very easily at the finish, ar. d the Handicap 8 weep3takes, Ditch Mile, turned out the good thing it looked " 011 paper'' for Mr Payne's Merry Maid. Antoinette opened first favourite for the half mile two year old Sweepstakes, but was soon superseded by Galileo, the result of the spin being a dead heat with Mr Bryan's filly and Lord Uxbridge's Lady Constance filly. In the deciding one, however, the former, with odds on lier, had it all her own way, and winning easily, was claimed by Lord Uxbridge. In the Rowley Mile Sweepstakes, brought to issue after the " dead heat," the " certainty" on Folly was upset by Edward the Confessor, and the scion of Ethelbert was thereon claimed by the owner of the fa- vourite. Changing the venue to the " top of the town," the St Leger Stakes, Ditch in, was next brought under consideration. For this popular sounding event, only three animals— The Ranger, Early Purl, and Sandford— were brsught forward to contest it, although the original entry consisted of thirteen, including the now defunct Automaton, and the once highly- tliought- of Mogador. Of the three above named, the former two had already run and been beaten across the flat to- day, while Sandtord having been reported as very highly tried with Magnum Bonum, and backed accordingly for heaps of money for the Cesare- witeh, was made a warm favourite for this event. The pace was wretched, and Sandford, whose general appearance said nothing in his favour, cut up very badly, for he was the first beaten, and could not, or would not, struggle an inch when Fordham called upon him, and The Ranger and Early Purl got home together as best they could, the former just winning by a short head. An objection to the winner, on the ground of swerving against Early Purl, followed, but the stewards decided in his favour. On Tuesday, in the York August Meeting, over two miles, Early Purl, receiving 31b of The Ranger, was third to him, and on the Thursday, over a mile and three quarters, at even weights, fourth, which of itself shows something of the difference of condition and capabilities of Mr Savile's horse to- day compared with his York, to say nothing of his Bois de Boulogne form. The Granby Stakes, though last on the card, was not least in interest, albeit the field wa3 a small one, and of those " coloured," Sir H. Des Voeux's colt by Muscovite out of Bridle, Baron Rothschild's filly by Newminster out of Lady Hawthorn, and Count F. de Lagrange's Fille de 1' Air, declined to try conclusions. Linda, despite her 71b penalty, and her defeat at Doncaster, was the selected one of the talent, who piled the money freely on her, although Union Jack was also much fancied, and backed accordingly by his party. The pace was very good, and Linda tiring some distance from home, Union Jack bore his colours past the post five lengths ahead of her. The win- ner, who is now under Goodwin's care, is by Ivan out of Caprice, and a very good- looking colt, with plenty of substance and fashion, but, unfortunately for his party, he is not engaged in the Derby. He is a " May colt,'' and was bred in Ireland by Mr Longfield, and made a successful debut at the late Curragh Sep- tember Meeting, for which successful venture he carried a 41b penalty to- day. After his Curragh victory he ran for the first time in England at the Warwick Meeting, where he had to strike bis colours to the Phemy filly, to whom he was conceding 121b, aud running a dead heat for second with King George, of whom he was receiving 31b. The main effect of the day's racing on future events was to send Turcos out of favour for the Cambridgeshire and Sandford for the Cesarewitch. Before quitting the town for the course in the morning Lioness was in such demand for the last- named race that she advanced to 12 to 1. Later in the day, how- ever, she declined to 14 to 1. Aufield was very " fishy," as much as 20 to 1 being laid once and 100 to 6 always offered, while 30 to 1 was at last taken about him for the Cambridgeshire. Drummer Boy declined to 25 to 1 ( offered), and Chere Amie was introduced into the Cesarewitch at 1,000 to 15. Romanoff was backed at 40 to 1, and subsequently at 30 to 1 very freely. The further wager- ing that took place up to the usual dinner hour will be found below. FIFTY Sovs, for three year olds and upwards; the winner to be sold for 300 sovs if demanded, & c; D. I.

They ran in close company and at a wretched pace for the opening two hundred yards, when Turcos, slightly in front from the commencement, stole away with an advantage of at least half a dozen lengths, succeeded by his opponents nearly abreast to the bushes hill, where Crafton Lass, Beatrice, and Early Purl were beaten. Half way up The Ranger also compounded, leaving Tornado to finish the race with the Count's horse, wlio tired t © nothing in the concluding thirty yards, and Mr Ten Broeck's filly won easily at last by a length and a half; same between second and third; the others pulling up.

The start was so evenly effected that for the first fifty yards nothing was absolutely leading. Moulsey then showed in advance, followed by Bradamante, Regina, An- nington, and Attraction, the others lying well up with them, neither, however, approaching Lord Bateman's liorse, who won in a canter by three lengths. Regina ( ridden out) was third, about as far from the second, Annington and the Marquis's colt being next, Junius last. Run in lmin 19sec. MATCH 100, h ft; T. Y. C. ( ofur 140yds).

The Lady Constance filly, after protracting the start by declining to go up to her horses, jumped off with the lead on the extreme right, Salvioni lying second, and Persiflage third in the centre of the track, Polonaise, the favourite, and Verbena nearly level with them, flanked by Padrona and Clairvoyante on the opposite side of tlie course, Antoinette last off', and bringing up the rear. There was no material change until, at about a quarter of a mile, Clairvoyante fell back simultaneously with Polonaise, the fa- vourite and others following suit soon afterwards, so that at the entrance to the cords Antoinette, full of " go,'' alone remained to fight it out with Lord Uxbridge's filly, still slightly in com- mand. For a moment or two it looked odds on the former, who, however, ran out at the finish, but, nevertheless, got up on the post, making a dead heat. Two lengths off Chancellor was third, Persiflage being close up with him, succeeded in a body by Clairvoyante, Galileo, Polonaise, and Verbena. Black Domino last. Run in 54sec. DECIDING HEAT.— 2 to 1 on Antoinette, who got away half a length in advance, after one failure, caused by the restiveness of the non- favourite, who cut it a short distance from home, whereby the other won easily by two lengths, and was claimed by Lord Uxbridge. A SWEEPSTAKES of 10 sovs each, for two year olds and upwards; the winner to be sold for 150 sovs if demanded, & c; if for 100 sovs allowed 51b; R. M.

Steady running was made by the favourite to about two distances from home, when he died away, leaving The Ranger in command, who was instantly joined by Early Purl on his left, the result of a slashing struggle being that the Malton colt never quite got up, and was defeated by a short head. Early Purl having lost his place through the winner hanging towards him in the final struggle, an objection to that effect was preferred at the scale, but not sustained. Run in 3min 59sec.

The absence of many of the gentlemen during the evening cast a " wet blanket'' on the proceedings; in fact, the attempts made to create a spirit of speculation among the few present were a complete failure, as the horses most industriously " put up" for selection were disposed of without notice. The serious rebuffs experienced lately by the backers through an over anxiety to get 011 may in some measure account for this falling off, coupled with which the two great handicaps appear en- veloped in such mystery that many persons exhibit the greatest caution in meddling with them, and wisely prefer waiting until the exhibition of the numbers. The early portion of the evening, as usual, was devoted to the perusal of the newspapers and the enjoyment of the cigar in the front of the Rooms, and it was not until past ten o'clock that any movement whatever was made in the way of betting. Of course the Cesarewitch took precedence. Lioness, who throughout the afternoon on the Heath had been all the rage, was the reigning favourite, and 12 to 1 became her closing price, and even that was scarcely obtainable at the finish. This demonstration had a depressing effect upon Anfield, 15 to I being offered without a response, but later in the evening a point over those odds was offered and met with a ready- customer. Drummer Boy was extremely firm at his quoted figure, and the two Lewes horses were in request at the same price. Limosina was in great demand, and rapidly advanced from her outside position to 25 to 1, at which price she was backed to win some thousands, this being apparently her destined journey. Romanoff was also fancied by a select few, who quickly accepted 30 to 1, the pair giving evidence of becoming warm favourites before the day. Ch& re Amie, from the rumour of a satisfactory trial in which she had been engaged, was brought prominently into notice, and she left off with an upward tendar. cy at 50 to 1 ( taken freely). The others mentioned in ourreturn were supported but for nominal amounts. The Cambridgeshire was all but a dead letter, and but for the in- troduction of Exchequer, and consequent interest created by the endeavours of those entrusted with the commission to invest, little or nothing worthy of notice occurred, only five animals during the evening meeting with bond fide support.

Unfortunately, how- ever, for the comfort of the visitors in general, the weather took a most unfavourable turn, and rain fell with little intermis- sion throughout the proceedings, which commenced with the Queen's Plate, over the Beacon Course, and for which half a BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, SEPTEMBER 26, 1863. 5 dozen put in an appearance. The betting, however, was confined though upon the eve of one of the chief features in the week's to Isoline and Harlequin, and after some fluctuations the former done calling for special remark on the Cesarewitch if 1 ' m, i we except the driving back of Umpire to 45 to 1, and the settled down the better favourite. The pace was very slow for | introduction into favour of his stable companion Thalestris, three miles, when it became good, and after an exciting contest ; who was freely supported at 50 to 1; but at the close ten Isoline cleverly defeated Harlequin by half a length. Ten of the handicapped fourteen contested the next event— the Sweep- stakes over the T. Y. C.— and Croagh Patrick being again " stood" by his party was made rather a warm favourite, but he was most unexpectedly bowled over by Walloon, against whom as much as 10 to 1 wa3 laid, for his performances of late on the whole had not been very satisfactory, and he was twice last week beaten by Mousetrap. His owner, however, to- day invested £ 50 on him at the odds just named. The pulling out of Ely to- day invested the Produce Stakes with additional interest, although Baron Rothschild's Evelina was by far the better favourite, and to these two and Midnight Mass the wagering was mainly confined, although a few " went in " for Tomato, on the supposition that she might possibly prove better after all than her stable companion, despite the money put on the latter. Although nine weighed out, the actual starters amounted to eight only, for Lord Westmoreland's Ambassador— not appa- rently liking his mission— ran away with Jem Goater on his way to the post, and defied all efforts to turn him back. The fa- vourite, too, got much the worst of the start, and was virtually out of the contest, which was at last a match between her stable com- panion and Ely, the latter securing the victory by a clever head, and thereby advancing his position in the Derby quotations from 40 to 1 to 25 to 1 ( taken and offered). No fewer than sixteen youngsters competed for the Han- dicap Sweepstakes over the last half of the Abingdon Mile, and Land of the West, notwithstanding the inglorious figure hitherto displayed by him, was backed so freely that opening at 10 to 1 he left off at 2 to 1, the Birthday filly, Lorette, and Usher being the three next in most request. It proved a runaway affair for the favourite, a good- looking son of West Australian, trained by John Nightingall, and his party, unfortunate enough at times, thus made as successful a coup here as they did at the Brighton meet- ing with Madame Walton. The Handicap Plate across the Flat, like the last event, produced a large field, Bosh being the selected one at 2 to 1; but the pot was upset by Manrico, against whom lour times as much was laid, and who looked well enough in at ^ thus receiving 71b of the favourite, whom he beat by a neck. ^ . t his owner, however, did not think him particularly favoured may be inferred from the fact that he not only declined to back him for a shilling, but actually lost on the race. The winner, however, showed good form at Lincoln early in the year, indif- ferently as he has run of late, and the defeat of Bosh by him to- day did not greatly surprise the trainer of the former, in whose stable he formerly was. Claremont ( carrying 41b extra) was at first an especially hot favourite for the Rutland Stakes, but the odds on him at last settled down to 5 to 4, while 2 to 1 was taken about Acolyte. The favourite appeared unable to move, and took no active part in the race, which Lord Stamford's colt ran away with, beating Esperance by eight lengths. The winner, who was unplaced in the Two Year Old Handicap Sweepstakes at Doncaster the other week, is a smart- looking eolt, and own brother to the well- known Wild Rose. A Selling Sweepstakes, in which the selected one was again defeated easily, was carried off by a non- fancied wiry- looking daughter of Newcourt out. of Slarpesia, beating Naxos, the fancied one, and Yerdiere, and was afterwards claimed by the owner of the favourite. The latest movements on events to come are sufficiently detailed below, BO that it will suffice here to remark that the principal features • were the heavy investments on Limosina for the Cesarewitch, which, however, did not alter her price from 25 to 1 to a shorter one. Anfield was still " fishy" at 30 to 1, and a thousand even was laid on his winning the Cambridgeshire against winning this event; while his stable companion, Chfere Amie, was backed after leaving the course at 40 to 1 and 33 to 1 freely, 30 to 1 being at last booked. Umpire receded to offers of 33 to 1, while, per contra, Catch ' em. Alive, after Bosh's running, was backed for the Cam- bridgeshire at 15 to 1. Bathilde was in some force for the same event at 40 to 1. The Derby betting was so far influenced by the events of the day that, as already stated, whereas 40 to 1 was ob- tainable about Ely before his'' win," 25 to 1 only was forthcoming afterwards. Before Clareinont's race 40 to 1, and In some instances 35 to 1, was taken freely about him; afterwards 66 to 1 was laid, although offers of 10,000 to 5,000 were made on him against Aco- lyte, about whom 1,000 to 10 might have been obtained.

Crafton Lass next shutting up near the distance, the issue, left to the pair, resulted in Isoline depriving Harlequin of the lead in the last fifty yards and winning by half a length; bad third.

With the exception of the favourite, whose head was partly turned round when the word was given, the lot got away on capital terms, Midnight Mass slightly leading. On his right were Olivia and Baragah, with Ely and Tomato side by side, on the opposite side to the cords, where all were in trouble save the last mentioned pair, of whom the Baron's filly looked all over the winner, until one of Ford- ham's well- known rushes brought Ely to the rescue, and landed his backers in the last stride by a head.

However, after running in this way for nearly two hundred yards, the favourite shot to the front, followed by Lord Stamford's colt, to the cords, where the two came out and finished the race. Land of the West increasing his advantage as he went on, and winning easily by three lengths. At about twice that difference, Overcast, with a " wet sail,'' snatched third honours by half a length from Abderrhaman, who was fourth, the Toy filly, Iphigenia, and Lady Fanny Cavendish next heading the stragglers.

These were the positions in front to the Bushes Hill, whence the field gradually died away until only Bosh remained to try conclusions with Manrico, who defeated him cleverly by a neck.

Anfield somewhat recovered the heavy fusilade against him before dinner, and was sup- ported at 25 to 1; this price, however, was offered to the close. Jack of Hearts was repeatedly inquired for, and appeared to be a much better favourite than Blackdown, 22 to 1 having been noted down about the former, while repeated offers of three points over that price met with no response. Chfere Amie improved upon her last quotation, and at the finish 33 to I was taken to money. Of the others enumerated in our somewhat lengthy list, the most in request appeared to be Romanoff, Fantail, and Myrtle. The Cambridgeshire was noticeable for the increased support awarded to Catch'em Alive, his opening price being secured with the greatest avidity, which induced layers to pause, and at the close 100 to 8 was laid, after some amount of negotiation. Birdhill and Borealis were also in demand. The " feature," however, was the favour accorded to Cantonnade, belonging to the French division, who was brought prominently into notice, all the out- side prices being speedily taken, and during the evening a noble lord backed her to win some thousands at 50 to 1, with farther indications of an upward tendency :— CESAREWITCH STAKES. 12 to 1 agst Lioness ( tk) 33 to 20 to 1 Mvrtle( tk) 40 to 20 to 1 Drummer Boy ( tk) 40 to 22 to 1 Jack of Hearts ( tk) 45 to 25 to 1 — Blackdown ( off) 50 to 25 to 1 Limosina( tkandoff) 1000 to 10 25 to 1 Fantail ( tk freely) 1000 to 10 30 to 1 Romanoff ( tk) CAMBKIDGESHIHE STAKES. l agst Ch& re Amie ( tk) 1 Thalestris ( t treely) 1 Twilight ( tk) 1 Umpire ( tk) 1 Buckenham ( tk) The Giraffe colt ( t) Isoline ( tk) 100 to 8 agst Catch ' em Alive ( tk) 100 to 6 20 to 1 40 to 1 45 to 1 25 to 30 to Birdhill ( tk) Borealis ( tk) Turcos ( tk) • Cantonnade ( tk) 1000 to 15 agst Port Roval ( tk) 1000 to 8 Nebula ( tk) 1000 to 20 Dunkeld andNebula coupled ( tk) DEBET. 1 agst Birch Broom ( tk) I 10000 to 100 agst Mamhead( tk) 1 Coup d'Etat ( tk) | 10000 to 100 Rizzio ( tk) 1000 even on Cambuscan agst Paris 6000 even on Cambuscan agst Coast Guard FRIDAY.— The First October week was brought to a con- clusion under circumstances on the whole favourable, for the threatened repetition of yesterday's unfavourable weather which the clouds held out in the forenoon did not " come off," and the sport— what there was of it— turned out good. There were only five items on the card, and these were pretty easily got through, being all on the Flat, the business commencing at half- past twelve with a Handicap over the T. Y. C., for which ten of the thirteen entered faced the starter, and so well were they put together that there was a difficulty for some time in making a favourite, 5 to 1 being laid on the field until almost the last moment, when Merry Maid, who always had a slight call, was backed at half a point less. The other " pots" comprised Cadiz, Wild Duck, and Lady Louisa, the latter being first nibbled at at 10 to 1, but becoming so warm that at last only 6 to 1 was obtainable, and she managed to carry her 9st 51b home first, but only by a head, Grimshaw appearing unable to assist the Maid for the last few strides, or she seemed to have all the best of it at one time. The result was a brilliant instance of the science of handicapping, as the highest and lowest weighted ran as close a race as possible without making a dead heat of it, the winner giving 3st 71b to a mare that had won a race by five lengths yesterday, thus showing what a wretched lot must have been behind her then. Of the seven coloured on the card for the Two Year Old Sweepstakes on the T. Y. C. Sister to Knutsford and Battaglia ( the latter whispered a " good thing") did not put in an appearance, the field of half a dozen being made up by Gondola, who was not coloured, but left off second favourite. Only Fillejj de l'Air was backed heavily, however, and she landed the shade of odds laid upon her by an easy three lengths, Mr Bryan's second string running home next, although Lady Hylda ran second best in the race, Custance ceasing to persevere when he found it was useless. There was some heavy betting on the first half of Ab. M. 8weepstakes, for which Midnight Mass opened at evens against the field, but gradually receded on accaunt of the heavy metal entrusted to . Brindisi, who, if anything, had the call at the finish, but never looked like upsetting Midnight Mass in the race, as he made all the running, and finally stalled ofi Lord Stamford's colt by a very clever length. Next came the October Handicap, on which there was so little betting before the hoisting of the numbers that we need not enter into the details of it, the only horse in any great force being Benjamin, who was backed in the morning, at inter- vals between the settling, at 10, 8, and finally 6 to 1— Gemma, Sea King, Muezzin, Prince Plausible, and Eleanor ( at 10 to 1 each) comprising the remainder backed until proceeding to the Heath, where Croagh Patrick came with a rattle, and at one time touched 8 to 1. When the twenty- one numbers, however, were hoisted, Gemma was discovered among the absentees, with ten others that were " coloured" on the card, and the betting underwent many changes during the last quarter of an hour preceding the race, Croagh Patrick and Muezzin receding most alarmingly, while TheMonkcainewithsucharattle that he firff^ hed second favourite, pressing closely upon the heels of Benjamin, and driving him back from 4 to 1 to 6 to I. There was a long delay— for a New- market race— at the starting post, the causes of which, with the details of the struggle, are fully entered into below; but one of the best starts of the meeting was accomplished at last, and a pretty race resulted in favour of The Monk, who won by exactly the same distance that he did this same event two years ago, but with far greater ease, as he was handicapped 21b lighter, and was consequently about 101b " better in," taking the difference of age into consideration. The winner was a bad horse for the Ring, who cannot, however, complain of The Monk's treatment of them, as he has so often been a favourite without winning. There was another delay at the post for the concluding event, the Maiden Plate, for two year olds, and the flag did not fall finally until half an hour behind time, a pretty race home between three of the five backed resulting in favour of Concordia— a hot favourite — by a head. There was little betting on the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire during the day, and the stay at Cambridge en route to town was too brief for anything important to be done. But there was one great feature in the support conceded to Sum- merside and Despair for the Cambridgeshire, the former coming very hot before leaving the course, on the strength of a reported 12 to 1 agst Lioness ( tk and off) 20 to 1 Blackdown ( off) 22 to 1 25 to 1 25 to 1 • 25 to 1 25 to 1 • 30 to 1 SO T) 1 • 33 to 1 33 to 1 • 40 to 1 • Myrtle ( tk) Limosina ( tk freely) • Drummer Boy ( tk) • Jack of Hearts ( tk) Fantail ( off) Anfield ( tk) Chere Amie ( tk) • Umpire ( off) • Romanoff ( t and off) • Buckenham( t freely) CAMBRIDGESHIRE STAKES. 15 to 1 agst Catch'em Alive ( tk) 40 to 1 agst Hurricane ( tk) 50 to 1 Giraffe colt ( t freely 50 to 1 Sandford ( tk) 50 to 1 Twilight ( tk and off 50 to 1 Faultless ( tk) 66 to 1 Catch ' em Alive ( off) 6G to 1 Agag ( off) 100 to 1 Dunkeld ( tk) 100 to 1 Tolurno ( off) 1000 to 5 Carisbrook ( tk) 1000 to 5 King of Kent ( off) 2000 to 5 Cock Robin ( tk) 25 to 1 30 to 1 - 40 to 1 • 40 to 1 40 to 1 - 40 to 1 50 to 1 • 50 to 1 60 to 1 66 to 1 66 t9 1 Exchequer ( off) • Anfleld ( off) • Romanoff ( tk) Despair ( tk) • Cairncastle ( tk & off) • Bathiide ( tk and off) • Fantail ( tk) • Limosina ( off) • Polynesia ( off) - Croft on Lass ( tk) Cantonade ( t freely) A SWEEPSTAKES of 300 sovs each, 1Q0 ft; for two year olds; colts Sst 71b, fillies8st41b; T.

Borne vitality was thrown into the proceedings this evening by a larger attendance of subscribers, but nevertheless the betting dragged its slow length along" in a wearisome manner. Al- programme— the October Handicap— not a bet was made there- on.

They ran thus to the cords, where Merry Maid, showing in advance, soon became singled out with the top weight, who reached her in the last stride, and won a fine race by a head; Cadiz, three lengths from the second, finished a neck over Wild Duck fourth, Canzonette fifth, Vindictive and Lizzie next.

The NEWMARKET OCTOBER HANDICAP of 15 sovs each, 5 ft, with 100 added, for three year olds and upwards ; winners extra ; the second received 25 sovs out of the stakes; A. F. ( Im2fur 73yds); 84 subs.

Several of the light weights turning fractious, coupled with the kicking of the two old ones, General Hess and Man at Arms, kept the horses at the post seventeen minutes over the set time, when Mr M'George was again fortunate in effecting an admirable start. The Monk made play, with Man at Arms at his quarters on the right of the line for about fifty yards, when the latter took up the running, but closely attended by Mr Saxon's horse, at whose heels Croagh Patrick headed the next lot, including General Hess, Waterwitch, Eleanor, Dunkeld, and Muezzin. About level with them was Balham, in the middle of the course, the favourite, Bertha, and Fitz- Eva abreast, coming on by themselves to the left of everything. Beyond the fact of Jackal being first to give way, through striking into the heels of something and splitting his pastern joint, the race presented nothing expressly calling for remark until Man at Arms fell back at the Bushes and The Monk resumed the command, which he retained to the end, and won cleverly by half a length. A length off Eleanor was third, twice as far in ad- vance of Muezzin, close up with whom Balham was fifth, and Benjamin next, succeeded by Bertha, Fitz- Eva, Dunkeld, and Croagh Patrick, who ran forward to the hill. Of the remainder, widely scattered, General Hess, National Guard, Lucretia, and Waterwitch brought up the rear. Run in 2min 15sec.

After nearly half an hour's delay, caused principally by Templar bolting away, and trying to unship Fordham, they got off upon pretty equal terms, Alea, Oakapple, Concordia, and Mr Neville's colt, being a trifle in advance in the order named. After running about a quarter of a mile Annington deprived Alea of the lead, the whole, however, running in close company to the distance, whence Concordia and Annington ran a most exciting race home, Concordia winning only by a short head ; three quarters of a length separating the second and third: Suspicion was a bad fourth; Oakapple fifth, the Tadmor colt sixth, sister toKnave of Trumps and Bigotry next. Run in lmin 20secs. CHESTERFIELD ( DERBYSHIRE) RACES. Stewards : G. Andrew, Esq, and Capt Paget. Judge: Mr R. Johnson, York. Starter: Mr W. Elliott. Clerk of the Course: Mr J. Martin. Lovely weather ushered in the meeting, and there was an im- mense assemblage of company, which considerably exceeded that of any former meeting. The Grand Stand, too, was most liberally patronised, the receipts, on the first day, being nearly double those of last year. The Midland Company ran special trains, at a low tariff', from Bakewell, Derby, Masbro', and various other towns on their line, which were most liberally patronised by the public. We have rarely seen the course in better order for running than it was on the first day, but the heavy fall of rain which took place on Wednesday night and Thursday morning changed its aspect for the worse on the second. We are glad to state that with the large Stand receipts and the amount realised by the sale of Highland Mary, the committee will be enabled to put away a most handsome surplus towards next year's races. This has never been the case before, and we are glad that the liberality of the committee, who never refuse to give the added money for two starters, and who are most anxious to promote sport for the beuefit of their fellow townsmen, should be so for- tunate as to have a handsome balance in hand. The only thing wanted at Chesterfield is a greater number of horses, and as the committee will be enabled next year to offer stronger induce- ments in the shape of added money, we have no doubt their ap- peal to the owners of race horses will be responded to. Proceed- ings opened on Wednesday with the Nursery, which turned out a very hollow affair for Mantrap; but the Chatsworth, for which four out of the five entered appeared at the post, was a most exciting race with the first three, Tourist having the best of it till within a few yards of the chair, when he " stood still," and Donne Canne, overhauled him by a neck. The Cavendish Stakes was won easily by Greenland, but Nemo, on his way to the post, broke away with Britton, who, getting one of his feet out of the stirrup, threw himself off, but sticking to the bridle the horse dragged him several yards, and the poor boy had one of his arms broken, and was considerably cut about the head. He was much better in the evening, and only suffered from the effects of a bruken arm. No doubt he will be enabled to leave Chesterfield in a day or two. Highland Mary won the 8carsdale Stakes easily, and brought 44gs to the race fund. The Innkeepers' Stakes terminated the first day's sport, for which Maid of the Mist was made a very hot favorite, but Belladrum won easily. The weather was again favourable on the second day, and the attendance large, although not so numerous as that of the first day. Golden Drop won the Chesterfield Handicap easily. The Pony carried off' the Ladies' Plate, but he only brought 6gs to the fund. Maid of the Mist, with the steadier of 8st 121b, won the Hartington Stakes, after a good race, and she was not backed for a guinea in the Ring. Sir Watkin carried off the Handicap Stakes, but no advance was made upon the selling price. The meeting was brought to a close by the Mounted Volunteers' race, which Sergeant Major won at three heats, and caused a great deal of ex- citement in the neighbourhood. The following is a return :— WEDNESDAY, SEPT 30.— The NURSERY HANDICAP of 3 sovs each, with 40 added, for two year olds; winners extra; the second saved his stake; about three quarters of a inile; 10 subs.

Hind's Drumhead, 7st 121b Stagg 3 Betting: 7 to 4 on Mantrap, 2 to 1 agst Cutaway, and 0 to 1 agst Drumhead. Cutaway made play, with the favourite second and Drumhead last. In this order they ran till after crossing the road, where the favourite took the lead, kept it to the end, and won in a canter by ten lengths, Cutaway not being persevered with ; three lengths between the second and third. The CHATSWORTH STAKES of 50 sovs given by his Grace the Duke of Devonshire, added to a Handicap Stake of 5 sovs each, 3 ft; the second saved his stake; winners extra; once round ( nearly a mile and three quarters) ; 5 subs.

Osborne 3 Mr Barber's Jack's Alive, 3 yrs, 7st Meadows 4 Betting : 5 to 4 agst Flytrap, 2 to 1 agst Tourist, and 4 to 1 agst Donne Canne. Jack's Alive cut out the work at a good pace, Tourist going on second, Donne Canne third, and the favourite last. At the mile post Jack's Alive retired, and Tourist took up the running, Flytrap being second and Donne Canne third. No change occurred till reaching the distance, where Donne Canne passed Flytrap, and catching Tourist at every stride, defeated him, after an excellent race, by a neck ; second beating the third a length. Jack's Alive was tailed off a long way. The CAVENDISH STAKES of 25 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 3 sovs each; two year olds 7st 51b, three 8st 121b; fillies and geld- ings allowed 31b; certain penalties and allowances; the second saved his stake; about half a mile ; 4 subs.

Britton weighed for N emo, but in can- tering the horse broke away and overpowered him. The boy threw himself off, and sticking to the horse's head, he dragged him on the ground for about a hundred yards; Britton un- fortunately had his arm broken, and he was very much cut about the head. After several failures, caused by the restiveness of the Pretty Girl filly, they got away, the favourite leading from end to end, and winning easily by a length and a half ; bad third. Nemo was beaten off". The SCARSDALE STAKES of 25 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 3 sovs each; two year olds 6st, three 7st 101b, four Sst lllb; five and upwards 9st; mares and geldings allowed 31b; the winner to be sold for 30 sovs; the second saved his stake; about three quarters of a mile; 5 subs.

Belladrum jumped off with the lead, was never caught, and won easily by three lengths; two lengths between the second and third, and a head the third and fourth.

TENBURY RACES. Steward: T. Parr, Esq. Judge: Mr E. Smith. Clerk of the Races: Mr W. Jones. WEDNESDAY, SEPT 30.— The long continued drought, which played havoc with the fields at most of the July meetings, led to the postponement of these races from the 16th of that month to Wednesday last. Unlike adjournments generally the change was all for the best, so that its managers will do well in sticking to the autumnal fixture hereafter. The magnificent hop and fruit plantations of which Tenbury forms the centre, may not then be seen to such advantage as a little earlier in the season, but there are nevertheless remnants of departed summer in the brown foliage of one of the most delightful spots in Wor- cestershire, with its pretty Teme river, no less gratifying to the lover of the picturesque than convenient to the disciples of Walton, who just now may have some of the finestgrayling fishing in the kingdom, besides excellent accommodation at that famous anglers' hostelry, the Swan, the manager of which kindly acted as judge on the present occasion. It is contemplated to add 50 sovs to the West Worcestershire Stakes next year, and with more direct communication, via Great Western and West Midland Railways, affairs are now looking more prosperous than ever. The WEST WORCESTERSHIRE STAKES of 3 sovs each; one mile and a half. Mr T. Parr's br c Blondin, by Voltigeur, 3 yrs, 7st 101b H. Heslop 1 Mr T. Rickards's br m Queen of Clubs, 3 yrs, 7st 121b.. .. Best 2 Betting: Any odds on the Rope Walker, who waited on the Queen until half way up" the distance, when he passed her, and won in a canter by two lengths.

The bill of fare provided for the " Scottish Metro- politan" Meeting is always an attractive one, standing as it does second to none in the country for the sport afforded. With the liberal sum of 580 sovs added money, it well deserves substantial patronage and support from the aristocracy, the Scottish public generally, and of trainers and owners in England, for none have of late years risen so rapidly into deserved import- ance and popularity. It is, however, unfortunate that this autumnal rendezvous is fixed so early in October that many of the " upper ten " and others are unable to be present, they being at such time " o'er the hills and far away," and with finger on trigger dividing their affections with the sport afforded them by the inhabitants of the heather, the stubbles, and the forests. It is, therefore, worthy of Mr Turner's consideration— to whom the races here are mainly indebted for recent successes— whether a time could not be more judiciously arranged at a later dais, and, without clashing with any of the important fixtures in England, produce better fields, and thereby ensure addi- tional telat from an increased assemblage. There was, however, a very fair attendance of the neighbouring gentry. The clouds in the early portion of the morning assumed a threat- ening aspect, but instead of producing a drencher, we had a slight shower on the journey down, when it " thought better of it," and cleared up into a pleasant mild day. The scenes en route by road and rail to the courses in Scotland, lack the enlivenment, bustle, and excitement to be found in connection with the racing saturnalias in England; a couple of four- in- hands, a few private carriages, and a fair sprinkling of cabs, dog carts, and equestrians, bowled steadily along to the rendezvous with a quietness peculiar to the characteristic nature of the people. The " rails " were patronised by immense masses, the North British running trains from Edin- burgh every half hour, and could scarcely keep pace with the demands of the voyagers. By the by, the directors might, with- out prejudice to future dividends, subscribe to the funds a modi- cum of the revenue they assuredly receive from the Turf. We noticed with pleasure some welcome improvements whereby the occupants of the Stand are now ensured a complete view of the running from start to finish, and the newly- raised platform in the enclosure, adopted for accommodating additional members, was deservedly appreciated by those whose engagements in the Ring prevented them securing that which they might sometimes other- wise have vainly struggled for— viz, a '' front rank " position on the Stand. The programme was gone through with business- like promptitude, and although the limited fields for the two events placed first on the card made the officials look anxious and doubtful as to the success of their meeting, the number of horses to the post for three subsequent events gave a sunny aspect to the state of affairs, and the company seemed gra- tified with the pleasing tout ensemble of the meeting and the sport afforded, and if the " pet" handicap ( the Lothian) and one or two other events did not bring so many to the post as was antici- pated, we trust that, taking the meeting altogether, it will be found sufficiently successful and remunerative to satisfy the inde- fatigable and efficient C. C., whose exertions on behalf of the good cause to procure good horses, large entries, and successful results we ever hope to see amply encouraged. There were, however, so many English horses who cried " content" with their engage- ments at Newmarket and other places nearer home that it caused a fearful weeding out of the nominations here. It is, however, a source of congratulation that the number of subscribers obtained for the Lothian Handicap next year already exceeds that of the present or any past year, and it is intended that the added money shall be raised to 200 sovs, viz, double that of the present year. The bookmakers were, as usual, vociferous in the exercise of their vocation. Messrs Booth and Wilson were the candidates for spe- culation favours amongst their Edinburgh clients, and the southern division were well represented by a few business tourists who endeavour to amalgamate profit with pleasure, by mixing their " toddy" and their speculations with a change of scenery; and if they do not add much to their exchequer with their inter- course amongst the " canny Scotch," they are no doubt benefited by the change of climate. The course was in admirable order, and the run in all that could be desired; the honorary secretary ably sustained his reputation as judge, and Mr Currie of Lanark proved himself an efficient starter. For the YTolunteer Stakes Unfashionable Beauty justified the con- fidence reposed in her by winning easily. The race was virtually over the moment the flag dropped, and although Howey after rounding the bottom turn gave Edgar " Pepper" he had not even the ghost of a chance. The Knave was made a hot favourite for the Lothian Handicap, although many loyally stuck like true subjects to the King; the former, however, won by half a length, not, however, without getting an unmistakable taste of the " latch- fords." Many imagined that he could have won easier, but he looked rather short of work, and the punishment he re- ceived negatived the idea. The Hussars' Cup, nine entries, and all to the post, with gentlemen up, was won easily by Father Daley. Offers from the bookmakers to take odds on the Inn- keepers' Plate was met with ample response from the gentlemen, « ho spotted Alice, and, after an interesting set- to with Dick Swiveller, she won rather easily. The Auld Reekie Stakes re- sulted in a dead heat between Weatherwise and Sherwood. It was a magnificent struggle from the distance, where they came a rattler, the mare slightly leading, but Sherwood, coming in the last few strides, made a dead heat of it, and afterwards walked over, the stakes being divided. The winner was put up to auction, but failed to call forth a single response to Mr Scott's eulogistic remarks of the animal's racing qualities. Mr Waugh claimed Weatherwise. There were nineteen coloured on the card for the Yeomanry Cavalry Handicap, and the great field of thirteen to the post caused it to become the sensational race of the day. Speculation was rife, and the bookmakers must have made a good thing of it, for the winner turned up in Johnny Cope, who was little fancied; Nicety and Little Nell were backed for money, but eventually in- vestors became as tickle as lovers, and divided their favours be- tween Adrift and Aubone. It was a capital race, game old Aubone only being beaten by a length, Adrift three lengths behind. Amongst the company present were— the Earl of Buchan, Lord Binning, Sir D. Baird, Sir J. Gardiner Baird, Sir J. Don Wau- chope, Sir W. Dick Cunyngham, the Hon Capt Sandilands, Sir Archibald Hope, Mr T. Mitchell Innes, Mr Ramsay of Barnton, Mr D. Henderson, Mr C. Henderson, Mr J. B. Callander of Pres- tonhall, Mr Paterson of Carpow, Mr Sharpe of Hodham, Major Sharp, Capt Harrison, Capt Inglis of Redhall, Col Learmonth of Dean, Officers of the 3d Hussars and 92d Regiment, Councillors Macknight and Dryborough, & c, & c.

The LOTHIAN HANDICAP of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 100 added; winners extra ; the second saved his stake; two miles. Mr J.

Welsh 3 Betting : 2 to 1 on The Knave, 3 to 1 agst Lothians' King, and 6 to 1 agst Miss Taft. The three got away on nice terms with each other, the King immediately rushing to the front, with The Knave and the mare in close attendance, the King pulling double; they continued in the order named till nearing the bottom turn for the run home, when the two latter drew up to The Knave, but the mare almost immediately died away. At the distance the King appeared to have a little the best of it, but the game quali- ties of The Knave enabled him to pull through, after a slashing race, by half a length. The 3D HUSSARS' CUP, value 50 sovs; 12st each; winners extra! one mile.

The lot came past the Stand in a cluster, but after rounding the Gasworks turn Father Daley took a slight lead, the others well up; in the run home Regulation collared the leader, who, however, shook off his antagonist when called upon, and won easily by two lengths. The INNKEEPERS' ( Handicap) PLATE of 60 sovs; winners extra; once round. Mr Temperly's ch f Alice, by Lord of the Isles, 3 yrs, Sst 41b Snowden 1 Mr J.

Dick Swiveller, for once was in a good humour at the post, and took kindly to his work the moment the flag dropped. Alice and Dick went away with a clear lead, closely held by Spirit of Air and Enfield, the remainder well up. On the far side of the course Reviver went up to the leaders, but immediately came back to the ruck; on nearing the turn home Dick Swiveller, Enfield, Spirit of Air, and Alice were all well together, but at the distance the race was virtually left to Dick and Alice, the latter winning very cleverly by a length.

Sherwood and Fer- nando made play, with Weatherwise and Dick close at their quarters on the opposite side of the course. Weatherwise went to the front and held her position to the distance, where Sherwood challenged her, and a magnificent struggle ensued ; they passed the Stand locked together, and the judge's fiat was a dead heat. Sherwood afterwards walked over. The YEOMANRY CAVALRY HANDICAP of 3 sovs each, with 30 added ; the second saved his stake ; winners extra ; once round and a distance; 22 subs. Mr H.

The meeting was very fashionably attended, and the lessees of the Race Stand, with their usual liberality, gave a very handsome Silver Cup of the value of £ 50, which was won by Gibraltar after a good race home with Michel Grove. Space and time compel us to abbreviate our remarks on this pleasant meeting. MATCH 25; list each; half a mile.

ORMSKIRK RACES. Stewards: Messrs J. Troubridge and R. Mason. Judge: Mr W. W. Wicksted ( Weobley). Clerk of the Course: Mr S. Ander- son. Starter and Handicapper: Mr Watkiss. FRIDAY, SEPT 25.— This little Lancashire meeting came off with great eclat on the common close to the town, which, in the recollection of many old residents at Ormskirk, was formerly the scene of one of the most popular little reunions in the N. W. But latterly it has not been so much patronised, owing either to some mismanagement on the part of the committee, or to a lack of that love of sport generally so common to Englishmen. On the pre- sent occasion, however, no fault could be found either with management or sport, both of which were admirable ; the start- ing, in particular, was excellent, and the decisions of the judge gave great satisfaction. The TRIAL STAKES ( Handicap) of 2 sovs each, with 12 added for three year olds and upwards; one mile. Mr Chiverton's gr m Juno, by Sea King, 5 yrs, Sst 31b ... Plumsted t 1 Mr P. P.

Betting : 3 to 1 agst Adam Bede, 5 to 1 agst Geelong, 7 to 1 agst Fern Bank and the Mildew gelding, and 10 to 1 agst any other. The favourite made play at a slapping pace to the bend, where he slipped up and fell heavily, giving his jockey ( Mr Bauingartner) a nasty fall, and was not afterwards in the race. Geelong then went on with the running to the Stand, where Byde brought his colt with a rush, and, to the delight of the fielders, snatched the race by a head. Some opinions were expressed rather warmly as to the"" suspicious" running of the winner in the Trial Stakes. A WELTER RACE of 3 sovs each, with a Cup added by the stewards, for horses bona fide not thorough bred; gentlemen riders ; professionals 101b extra; 12st each ; two miles. Mr R.

Ghuznee took the lead to the cords, where she fell back beaten ; the favourite, then pulling double, went to the front, and won hands down by two lengths. The winner was sold to Mr L. Benson of Ramsay for 33gs, and Mr Boodles claimed Bushman. The SCURRY STAKES ( Handicap) of 10s each, with 8 sovs added' for beaten horses; one mile and a quarter.

Clerk of the Course: Mr J. Bake. Btarter: Mr M'George. SATURDAY, SEPT 26.— This meeting was brought to a close as above, and we regret to say was not quite so successful as last year. The morning was unfavourable, but as the day advanced the prospect of a fine day became manifest, and the afternoon turned out delightfully fine. The half- holiday movement in Manchester caused the races to be well attended, but the increase was not so great as we had been led to anticipate. The Stamford and Warrington Handicap opened the sport at a quarter past two o'clock. Claxton was made the favourite, and he won very cleverly by a length. The Northern Metropolitan afforded a good race with the first three, and ended in the defeat of the favourite, Tolurno; Charming Woman, following up her success of yester- day, winning cleverly. Blondin was made the favourite for the All- aged Selling Stakes, but running unkindly at the finish, his colours were lowered by Lord Dundreary, whose sale brought a trifle to the race fund. East Lancashire won the Grand Stand Plate, after an excellent race, by a neck; and the Scurry, which Maid of the Mist landed by half a length, brought the meeting to a close. Mr Batse, a3 usual, exerted himself on both days, and we are happy to say that he has just recovered from a severe illness. The STAMFORD AND WARRINGTON HANDICAP of 60 sovs, for two and three year olds; winners extra; T. Y. C. Mr 11.

After two or three attempts they got away, Charming Woman leading, with Wynn- stay close up, Fanfaron being third, The Cobbler fourth, and Tolurno last. In this order they ran for the first quarter of a mile, when Wynnstay took up the running, Tolurno going on third, while Fanfaron dropped into the rear at the T. Y. C. post. No further change occurred till just below the distance, where Wynnstay cried " Enough," and Charming Woman went on with the running, followed by Tolurno and Fanfaron. A good race home ensued, Charming Woman winning cleverly by three quar- ters of a length, the second beating the third by a length; bad fourth. The Cobbler, to avoid running over a man, was thrown down, with serious injury both to horse and rider. The ALL- AGED SELLING STAKES ; three quarters of a mile; 4 subs.

In this order they ran to the distance, where Madame Tagliafico died away, and Lord Dundreary went on with the running, followed by Blondin, who made his effort half way up, but running unkindly, his lordship won cleverly by a length; two lengths between the second and third; bad fourth. The win- ner was bought in for 44gs. The GRAND STAND PLATE ( Handicap) of 60 sovs, for all ages winners extra ; one mile.

After several failures they got away, Belladrum leading, with Walloon and East Lancashire well laid up. Belladrum continued the lead to the distance, where she died away, and East Lancashire took up the running, followed by Walloon, the pair running a good race home, the favourite winning by a neck ; Captain Knight ( who car- ried 161b overweight) was a very bad third; Gammon, lasfc throughout, was tailed off.

ST GEORGE'S ( SALOP) RACES. The eighty- fifth Derby day has passed away, as also the eighty- eighth anniversary of the Great St Leger at Doneaster, but neither has passed away more pleasantly or more satisfactorily than the annual gathering at St George's, under the most able clerkship of Mr John Wadlow. The weather was, as usual during the " equi- noctial," rather stormy, but the gi- ound was in good condition, and well selected for the sport. The St George's race meeting maybe much improved, and undoubtedly will be, under the able superintendence of Mr Wadlow. It has many natural advantages, for in addition to the ground selected being well suited for the purpose of racing and steeple chasing; it is within an easy ride of many extensive training quarters, and only one mile from a first- class railway station.

LINCOLN AUTUMN MEETING.— We have to remind owners and trainers that the following stakes close on Tuesday next for this meeting, which takes place on Monday and Tuesday, the 19th and 20th inst, namely, the Carholme Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 40 added, for two year olds; the Rifle Volunteer Hurdle Race, the Selling Hurdle Race, the Witham Handicap of 5 sovs each ( 2 forfeit to the fund), with 40 added; and the Lindum Nursery Handicap Plate. Northallerton Races will take place on Friday and Saturday next, and as the entry is considerably superior to that of any pre- vious year, large fields are anticipated. The course is in capital order, the committee, in addition to the alterations of last year, having again expended a considerable sum in further improve- ments. Cheap trains will run on each day from Leeds, New- castle, York, Malton, Stockton, and there is no doubt but that the meeting will be highly successful. The following horses have arrived at W.

HARRIERS. „ , ,„ Haldon— Monday Halscombe, Thursday Moreton, Monday week Trus- ham, Thursday week Bridford, at 11. THE QUORN COUNTRY. MR EDITOR : Judging from the sport already had, there are more than an average quantity of cubs ( unusually well- grown ones, too) in this district. On Friday last the meet was at Six Mills, when the covers on Lord Archibald St Maur's estate were drawn, which abound with gama of all kinds. Walton Thorns pro duced two brace, and the Burton plantations two and a hall more. What with long and short- tailed victims the young hounds were well blooded, the careful huntsman's " Ware hare" failing to prevent the young hounds " running riot," and the scent was very bad tooth in and ' out of cover. On Monday the fixture was Scraptoft; thence to the Muckle Hill Spinney, and unkennelled half a dozen ; then to the plantation lying between Humberston and Hamil- ton lordships, and found a brace of old ones. Got away with one, running him beautifully for sixteen minutes to ground ; he had to '• make haste,'' thus learning a lesson for another day. Barkby Holt was next visited, where there were four more, but after dispersing them 110 other cover was drawn. A leash were killed during the day— one more than the huntsman wanted, taking into consideration that these foxes all lay in an area of less than three miles, so that we mav reasonably hope always to have a sure find in this locality during the coming season. The de- served popularity of the courteous new master ( Mr Clowes) and of his enthusiastic huntsman John Goddard ( each being " the right man in the right place") claim the sympathy of every votary of the noble science, and merit the success they so ardently wish for— Yours, & c, HARRY CLEAVER. Barkby, Sept 30, 1863. THE TORQUAY HUNT. The annual meeting of the members and subscribers of this Hunt was held last week, at the Queen's Hotel, to receive a state- ment 01" the accounts, and elect the master, committee, secretary, and treasurer for the ensuing year. Mr W. H. Kitson, the master, who took the chair, congratulated the meeting upon the success which Lad attended the Hunt during the short season. The funds were in a good state, thev had now a good subscription list, a good kennel, a good pack, and had enjoyed excellent sport; the latter he was glad to say arose from the good feeling existing between the members of the hunt, and the farmers and landowners gene- rally. They intended to adopt a uniform for the huntsman and whip— pink tunics, with green collar and cufis, brown tops and toreeches— and it was thought a dark green would be suitable to the members of the hunt. The chairman then referred to the proposed alteration of the days of meeting, some persons being desirous of going back to the old arrangement of Tuesdays and Fridays. Before concluding he expressed a hope that now the hunt had been raised to a very important position, they would all join together in maintaining its efficiency. The accounts were then received and adopted, and the election of the officers pro- ceeded with. Mr W. H. Kitson was re elected master, Mr Bond hon sec and treasurer, and the following committee: Major Bolton, Messrs W. Kitson, H. Short, J. Kitson, G. Maconchy, J. B. Toogood. G. Hearder, S. Cash, W. Whiteway, J. Balsom, W. Ball, and T. Webb. The subject of a member's uniform was then considered and finally abandoned, as the general feeling seemed to be against it.— Mr Farrant moved " That it appears to this meeting that the sum of £ 300 will be required to carry on the hunt in a manner satisfactory to the members, and creditable to the town of Torquay ; and it is hoped that those interested in the hunt, as well as the residents of Torquay and neighbourhood, will readily contribute that amount." Ho did not think there would be much difficulty in the matter. It was a very prosperous place, and growing in size and importance, and one of the means of maintaining its position was to keep the hunt in a state of effi- ciency for the visitors during the season, many of whom took part in the sport. THE CUBBING WITH THE CRAVEN. The Craven Hounds met on Friday, Sept 25, at Stipe Wood, at seven o'clock, where they found a strong litter of cubs, and after agocd hard four hours'hunting succeeded in killing a brace of them. The Berkshire Yeomanry being quartered at Hungerford a great number met the hounds, and seemed highly delighted with the morning's sport. On Monday, 28th, met at Shaw House, found lots of foxes, and had a capital three hours' hunting, and also killing a brace of cubs. On Thursday, Oct 1, the meet was Lilly, but they could not find any cubs, though they unkenneled an old fox, and after a good run of one hour and ten minutes pulled him down in the open without a check. Mr Coxe has been very successful in cub hunting, having been out thirteen times and killed eighteen foxes. The young hounds enter favourably, and the whole pack work well with their new huntsman, Press. THE WEST STREET HARRIERS. MR EDITOR: This pack had a " pipe- opener'' on Tuesday, the first meeting of the season being at Martin's Mill, just a cast from the high road that runs between Dover and Deal. At ten o'clock there was a muster of about thirty horsemen, and a few traps containing those whose " mounts'' had been spoiled by the " ills to which flesh is heir.'' Rosy- fingered Aurora had tipped the hills with sunshine, and there were glorious congratulations as old friends met again, and anticipations of good running. Michael Nethersole, Esq, with his silver saddle- horn, was the very picture of good health, and his fidas achates, " Old Golder," ran as usual at his master's stirrup. A little grace having been given for the laggards, the " Many- coloured hounds, in all their beauty's pride" were led to each likely haunt. In a few moments " shrill horn proclaim s his flight," and there is a rattling cry of " gone away." " Each straggling h » und Strains o'er the lawn to reach the distant pack; Tis triumph all and joy." " Puss," however, dodged her pursuers and disappeared in the neighbourhood of Oxney Bottom— dread dell, rife with the epi- sodes of murder. A second find gave the horses another gallop, but the flying hare was gone almost before the pack mingled in chorus. A young cub vulpine, which came out of cover just to see what all the disturbance was about, was sighted by some of the foremost dogs, and their music brought the entire pack upon his track; in compliance with a shout " give him a run for Mr Brockman ( East Kent Foxhounds) !" horses and riders had their impatience gratified, and their hot steel tempered by a burster up hill. Young Reynard led them to the edge of the cliff, and defiantly took np his lodgings where the samphire grows. The hounds were called off, and the breathing steeds gave their owners and occupiers ample time to enjoy a sea view, over an expanse of water stretching from St Margaret's Bay and the Foreland Lighthouse to the Deal Downs, whilst 011 the opposite side of the " big pond" the French coast stood out with all the boldness of a panorama. Although there were three other spurts there was no blood drawn 011 the occasion of the in- auguration of the " Image of war without Its guilt 1" We noticed in the field A, Churchward, Esq, of Kcarsney Abbey < Capt Carleton Smith, Robert Eive, Esq, on a good " weight car- rier ;" H. El win, J. Lukey, T. Harvey, Esqs, and several officer! from the Walmer and Dover garrisons, all ® f whom " rode as they ought to do." This little pack will henceforth meet twice a week throughout the season.— Yours, & c, T. MATHERS. HUNT BREAKFASTS^ MR EDITOR : From having studied very many years the goods and ills of fox hunting, I do not hesitate in giving my opinion on the present system of breakfast meets on hunting days during the winter months. The best hour, from eleven to twelve, for draw- ing covers is often l& st. The huntsman and whips are frequently pressed to drink more than they otherwise would, knowing it is very injurious to them for the work they have to perform. In some instances it has caused a feeling not the most pleasant when the aristocracy and other gentlemen in pink coats are invited to the well- spread board, farmers, whose lands are about to be ridden over, have on some occasions been allowed to remain on the cold lawn, partaking of what the servants choose to bring them. The thorough bred fox hunters prefer their breakfast by their own Presides, avoiding all the necessary forms of the ladies' saloon. Yours, & c, AN OLD HUNTER. Andover, Sept 29. AQUATIC REGISTER.

TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. BIB : I have been spending a portion of my annual holiday at that paradise of gamblers and " elegante- attired females,'' Hom- burg; and although I have nothing in the pugilistic line to tell you ( they do not fight fair in Germany), I think I can relate to your readers a slight anecdote which will amuse them. You are probably aware that the " administration" of the Kursaal, or gam- bling house, are most liberal in all their arrangements for the amusement and delectation of their customers. Music, dancing, reading, beautiful rooms, charming gardens— all, in fact, that man itrnn desire or woman long for— is supplied free, gratis, fornothing. Amongst, other delightful recreations, shooting parties are orga- nised over the extensive plains and woods in the neighbourhood and these the visitors are requested to attend, keepers, dogs, guns, and even powder and shot being furnished them, and not a half- penny to pay. Roedeer, hares, partridges, quails, and snipe exist on the land, no doubt; but partly because the " amateur," as he is sailed, is not taken to the right spot— partly because the dogs are about the very worst I ever saw— it is a matter of some difficulty to make a decent bag. However, one fine morning last week I formed one of a chasss en plaine, and at nine a. m. we started for the garden of the " Kurhaus." I soon found that ordi- nary English shooting was 110 go, for the beastly mongrel which had been assigned to me spoiled every point by run- ning in and chasing the game, in which diabolical sys- tem he was encouraged by every means at the command of the keeper, or garde de chasse, who accompanied me. At last I saw in the distance a hare squatted in a bare field, and I de- termined to stalk him, begging the man to hold the brute of a dog in a leash, and not to let him out 011 any consideration. The dog was caught, and I moved slowly and cautiously towards my game. I had just succeeded in getting within long shot of him, and was about to put him up, when, like a flash of lightning, past me rushed the pointer ( pointer! Heaven forgive roe for calling the beast by so honourable a name), followed at full speed by the keeper ( again may I be pardoned for prostituting the English language), both man and brute— or rather both brutes— vocife- rating in the most unearthly manner. Of course my shot was spoilt, and the hare got off unscathed. Well, in a great rage I asked the man why on earth he had loosed the dog. All I could collect was that his feelings had been too much for him; he ex- pected I was going to shoot the hare sitting, and had started with his dog to retrieve the game before it had been wounded. The notion that the hare would be kilied dead never occurred to him— as, indeed, how should it in a country where death seldom takes place without the united aid of dog, keeper, and a big stick? Now comes the pith of my story. When I got cooler I proceeded to argue with the man on the system of teaching a pointer to run into his point and pursue live game, & c. The brave German was not t- o be convinced. He thought I was reflecting upon his dog, and defended him thus: " Ah! meinherr, he is young; let me just have the training ef him for two years, and he shall take a fox.'' Now. sir, what did he mean by " take a fox?" Catch one? Kill one? What? Why, sir— tell it not in Gath 1 publish it not in the streets of Ascalon!— the wretch meant that he or some other German was to shoot and wound the fox, and the dog would then follow and retrieve him. That is my story, and with another little incident I will conclude. There is at present here an Eng- lish couple, whom I will call Mr and Mrs Brown; the former a fine, thick- set, good- looking man; the latter as pretty, delicate a ereature as you would wish to see. Brown took a carriage from the stand in the town to his own lodgings the other night, and a dispute arose about the fare. Jehu, in an unfortunate moment, put his hand on Brown's shoulder, and was of course immediately swung round as on a pivot against his own carriage. At this moment Mrs Brown, hearing her husband's voice in a tone of anger, rushed down stairs to the rescue. What passed through Cabby's mind I cannot say ; perhaps he thought it was an angel from Heaven coming to help the " sacre, God dem ;" but he jumped on to his box and drove off full gallop without his fare, snd neither Brown nor his wife ever heard any more of him. Momburg is fast emptying, and I have not yet seen any of those paragraphs which usually appear in the papers about this time of year to the effect that some ruined gamester has blown his brains out at the table, and that the mess having been wiped up play was resumed. Such a tiling never did happen, though it would be difficult to persuade certain saintly folks that this and all similar stories are simply lies. Adieu!— Yours, & c, Homburg, Sept 24. HABET.

The usual monthly club dinner at six p. m., prior to the meeting. PRINCE OF WALES YACHT CLUB. The members of this club closed a most successful season 011 Saturday, Sept 26, although from the fact of the Ranelagh Yacht Club having fixed their closing trip for the same day, and owing to other circumstances, the affair did not go off with that eclat which could have been wished. The members of the club and their friends left the Brunswick Pier, Blackwall, at half- past three, 011 board the Wild Wave, which conveyed her owner ( Mr Sadleir), late hon secretary, the Commodore, and others, to Eritli, where dinner was served at six o'clock, at the Pier Hotel, in Mr Macllire's usual good style. Covers had been laid for twenty, but that number was not quite reached, although the party was a most convivial one. Mr Robert Hewitt ( the Commodore) occu- pied the chair, faced by Mr W. Webster, aud after the good things of this life had been paid ample justice to, and the loyal toasts disposed of, the Commodore, in giving " Success to the Prince of Wales Yacht Club," dwelt upon the smallness of the party over which he presided that evening, and called upon the members to rally round their officers and support the club more than they had done lately. He should be wanting in his duty ( he said) if he failed to remind them of their duty to the club. He then spoke of the pleasure it had afforded him to preside over them so long, and of the good the ciub had done the cause of yachting, and hoped that by unanimously putting their shoulders to the wheel, they might push the club more forward every year. The " Health of the Commodore" was given by the treasurer, Mr Percival Turner, who eulogised the services their chief officer had done the club since he had held the tiller, and hoped that he would come among them and lend them the benefit of his assistance and advice as often as he could. Mr Alfred Turner gave the " Health of the Treasurer, Secretary, and other Officers," and several other toasts followed, a pleasant evening being spent. RANELA0H YACHT CLUB. The closing trip of this club also took place on Saturday, Bept 26, and although there were a few more present than at the Prince of Wales's, was, from the same causes, not so fully attended as usual. Greenwich Hospital was the rendezvous, and at three o'clock, or a little after, the Glance ( Mr Charlwoodi and the new iron boat Alexandra ( Mr G. Harrison) got under weigh, and with some of the influential members on board, although the flag officers were unavoidably absent, set sail for Erith, where, under the influence of a nice quiet breeze, they arrived at 5: 30, and then wended their way to Mr Hillyer's, the Crown Hotel, where a very good dinner was provided.— Mr Lenthall, the treasurer, was the chairman, faced by Mr Teague, the hon sec; and after the removal of the cloth the chairman gave the usual loyal end patriotic toasts, and then proceeded to propose " Prosperity to the Ranelagh," which he did in his usual manner, and received a hearty response.— Mr Geo. Harrison proposed the health of the " Commodore, Vice- Commodore, and other officers," paying a tribute to each in turn; and Messrs Lenthall and Teague re- sponded. Other toasts were then given, after which " a song'' was the cry, and the remainder of the evening, until near the time of the departure of the last train, was spent in harmony. YACHTING INTELLIGENCE. The yachting season in the Solent may be said to have closed with the past month, although t!'. e late birds are still under way. The nobleJCominodore, the Earl of Wilton, has struck the broad pennant for the season, and the yacht has been dismantled and laid up. Among those which have returned to their winter quar- ters in the Medina are Albatross, Dryad, Caiman, Nora Creina, Shamrock, Panther, Red Gauntlet, Czarina, Eagle ( steamer), Volage, Caprice, Daphne, Firefly, Princess Royal, Gipsy Queen, Flirt, Wildfire, St Lawrence, Constance, Sultana, lone, Pearl, Derwent, Fastnet, Zoraide, Camilla, Gleam, Galatea, Gloriana, Aurora. The Diadem, schooner, has been placed on the gridiron during the week, and is fitting out for the Mediterranean. The yawl Satellite, Lord Brownlow, is fitting out for Madeira. The lone, W. Sterling, is in Lymington Creek, on the eve of her de- parture for the Mediterranean. The schooner Gloriana came jnto the harbour on Wednesday to be dismantled, and to be lengthened 12 feet in her after body during the winter. On a recent visit to Lymington, we learnt that Inman is about to lay down the keel of an 80 tons schooner for Mr Nicholson, of the Traviata; also to haul up the Ursuline yawl, H. Villebois, and to lengthen her eight feet in midships. In his yard he has a schooner in frame ; also a new schooner of 45 tons, coppered, and ready to be launched as soon as a purchaser is obtained for her. The following are among the number of yachts 011 the mud in Lymington Creek:— Oudine ( formerly Lily of the Test), Zoe, Enchantress, Alarm, Luiworth, Beatrix, Lord Durham, La Ven- detta, Doris, Spell, Telegraph, Anaconda, Lancashire Witch, Corsair, Stella, Vestal, and several others, which are known as a portion of Inman's fleet, on sale or hire. It is also reported that the Zara is expected to be refitted forthwith for a Mediterranean cruise, an order having been received to stop the dismantling, but that had already been effected. NORTH LONDON ROWING CLUB. The disputed race for senior sculls in this club came off on Saturday, Sept 26, W. Newell ( Surrey shore), D. T. Campbell ( centre), and J. F. Smith ( Middlesex shore) being the competitors. Distance, Barnes to Putney. An even start was effected, Camp- bell with a slight lead of about three feet, and they rowed as even as possible down to the Bull's Head, when Campbell, who steered rather wildly, bored over to Newell, who, however, succeeded in drawing his boat clear, but kept too far over to the Surrey shore. In Corney Reach Smith spurted up to Campbell, and a good level race ensued down to the mile post in Chiswick Eyot, Campbell having a slight lead, when he got into difficulties, and was out of the lace. Meanwhile Newell, who had been gradually drawing away, was leading by two lengths at the bottom of the Ait, and although Smith spurted repeatedly, Newell succeeded in retaining his lead, winning by three lengths. EXCELSIOR BOAT CLUB. The last race this season amongst the members of this club will take place on Saturday, October 10, when the following crews will contend:— Mr Brain's crew: 1. T. Larchin, 2. A. Hall, 3. A. Herron, 4. J. E. Brain, J. C. Kearns ( cox). Mr Britten's crew : 1. F. W. Willcox, 2. J. Whatley, 3. H. Chaytor, 4. O. Britten, W. Thornton ( cox). Mr Anderson's crew: 1. G Clarke, 2. H. 8. Brown, 3. E. B. Ellington, 4. H. Anderson, J. Hoskens ( cox). The course is from the centre of Greenwich Hospital to Charlton Pier. The start to be not later than 4: 30 p. m. A Regatta for a purse of sovereigns, presented by the club, to be rowed for by twelve free watermen of Greenwich, in ordi- nary working skiffs, will take place 011 Monday, Oct 5, when the following men will contend:— First heat, 2 p. m.: Couchman ( dark blue), G. Everson ( black and white), J. Showell ( dark blue and pink), G. Royal ( light blue).— Second heat, 2: 45 p. m.: H. Richards ( yellow), E. Ditton ( white), W. Howe ( green and yellow), H. Heath ( pink).— Third heat, 3: 30 p. m. : J. Livett ( red and white), J. Groves ( green), J. Thomas ( red), R. Burgess ( black).— Final heat 4: 45 p. m., between the first men of the three previous heats. Course: From the Soap Works East Greenwich round the Dreadnought Hospital Ship, to the Excelsior Club House, Crown and Sceptre Hotel. Acting manager, Mr W. Thomas. TWICKENHAM ROWING CLUB. The members of this club brought the season to a close on Saturday, Sept 26, by rowing an eight- oared race from Straw- berry Vale to Little Marble Hill ( MrKirby's). MR BOWYEK'S CREW— 1. B. Davison, 2. R. Bridgett, 3. . T. T. Godfrey, 4. J. Hoornan, 5. G. Bohn, 6. J. Ebsworth, 7. E. Stringer, 8. T. Bowyer, N. H. Vertue ( cox) 1 MR BARRETTS CREW— 1. W. S. Crasswell, 2. G. Crcser, 3. R. Stevens, 4. F. Davison, 5. R. l'ownall, 6. R. Mawley, 7. R. Tlirupp, 8. J. Barrett, G. Grant ( cox) 0 Bowyer had the best station, but lost the advantage which this gave him through one of his crew slipping his oar soon after starting. Barrett, seizing the chance thus given, got his boat at once a little in front, and at the top of the Eel Pie Island he had succeeded in increasing his lead to nearly two lengths. Here a punt was in the course. Barrett, in endeavouring to avoid it, was steered too far out, whilst Bowyer was cleverly taken inside it, by which means he more than regained the ground which he had previously lost. Both crews pulled well down to aud past the Island, but Barrett's crew being unable to keep it up fell astern, Bowyer going to the front and winning as he liked. This being the last race of the season, the evening was wound up by a supper at the Island Hotel, to which a large party of members sat down, after which the prizes were presented to the winners, ARIEL ROWING CLUB The pair- oared ( outrigger) race of this club will take place this day, October 3. The three following crews have entered, and have been in active training for some time— viz, C. Fisher. F. Fisher ( stroke), Middlesex station; E. Tatliam, R. Fisher ( stroke) centre; J. Westell, T. W. Hopton ( stroke), Surrey side. The start will be made at 5: 30 p. m.. the course being from Putney Aqueduct to Hammersmith Bridge; arid an exciting race is an- ticipated for the handsome silver prizes given by the club, which will be presented to the winner at the quarterly meeting, to be held at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet- street, at 7: 30 p. m. precisely, on Wednesday, Oct 7, when a numerous attendance is expected, as several important subjects will be laid before the meeting for consideration. BOAT RACE ON THE TYNE. WILSON y STROM.— This race was for £ 50 a side, and was made at Mr Blakey's, but very little interest was excited by it until within a short time before it came off, which was on Tuesday, Sept 29. The weather was clear, but the wind blew in strong gusts, and the river was very rough for small craft. At half- past four Wilson put off from the north- east shore and rowed up to the starting point. His style of rowing seemed much improved. Strong soon after drew up, and appeared to be in as fine condition as could possibly be wished. Mr H. Clasper was umpire for Strong, and Mr J. Adams for Wilson, Mr Wallace holding the responsible office of referee. The attendance was not large, but the usual excitement prevailed and most of the places in close connection with the river were occupied with spectators at the appointed time for starting. Wil- son, who had wonjthe toss, was on the north side of the river. The men both moved off on even terms, after a false start; both ro wed rather awkwardly at first-, the strong wind catching the bows of the boats, and a foul was expected, but happily this was avoided by Wilson rowing towards the north shore with a determined will, whilst his opponent pulled in the same direction, apparently for the purpose of getting away from the strong mid- current. Wilson having gained the shelter of the shore, went slightly ahead of his antagonist, and rowed with a steady and telling stroke, which, together with the rough water Strong had to encounter, soon brought his boat nearly clear of Strong's. On pass ing the Skinner's Burn, Wilson was clearly leaving his man who had come over to the north side, and was now work- ing along steadily. Wilson's friends, who, at the start had offered to lay 5 to 4. now offered 3 to 1. Strong, how- ever, had still hopes of winning, for although Wilson had increased the gap between them at the Grindstone Quay to three boats'length, his style of pulling was evidently such as could not last, while Strong seemed to have not even got to his best pace. When passing Messrs Parker's Works, the latter fouled a keel, which threw him further back still. Wilson now, instead of rowing close to the shore as he had been doing, steered his course to the centre of the river, while Strong, still hugging the shore, succeeded in decreasing the distance between them; but Wilson's exertions now seemed to be renewed, and in passing the Meadows House a clear space of 150 yards separated them. Strong continued to row with unabated speed, and was loudly cheered as the distance became less and less, but Wilson, who appeared to ease a little, never allowed him to get within 100 yards of him, and in this way the race was finished. The time occupied was 30min 13sec. CANNON AND SHORT. Contrary to universal expectation, the race between G. Cannon of Blackwall and S. Short of Bermondsey on Tuesday, Bept 29, turned out one of the most hollow affairs on record, and showed that it is not always wise to depend too much upon good perform- ances, and that a good big man is always better than a good little one. Both the above are watermen, and while Cannon was comparatively unknown to fame, having only won the boat given annually at his own regatta, Short had acquired considerable re- putation by several performances, for we find that as early as 1858 he won a cup for apprentices at Bermondsey Regatta. In 1860 he won the coat and badge, for watermen's apprentices, in old fashioned boats, at the Thames Regatta, beating C. Brown of Richmond and other good men. His next and best performance was in 1861, when he won Doggett's Coat and Badge, after going through such difficulties as to prove that he possessed great lasting powers, added to indomitable pluck. Starting badly, he was, when he began to catch the foremost men, repeatedly fouled by the accompanying cutters; but his fortunate star wa? in the ascendant, and at Nine Elms he succeeded in passing tha second man, and then set to work to overhaul Alfred Waller of Black- wall, who was now leading by lOor 12 lengths, and, although it was not child's play, Short collared Waller at the end of Thames bank, and after a tremendous race went past him within 600 yards of home, and won by three lengths. The next week he won the boat at Bermondsey Regatta, and then did no more till the spring of this year, when he rowed for the silver cup presented by H. R. H. the Prince of Wales on the 10th of March, and came in last in the final heat, owing to getting among some barges. Short is 26 years of age, weighed on this occasion lOst 81b, and stands 5ft 5jin in height. Cannon, as we have said, was, compared with bis opponent, a mere novice in the art, and it was a very plucky act to row a well- tried man, but he came to the post possessing the utmost confidence, and in splendid condition, while Short had a superabundance of flesh upon him, and had evidently, as was whispered, not trained as he should have done. Cannon's age is 27, his weight lOst 61b, and his height 5ft 9in ; he had trained at home, and rowed in the Macaroni, built by Searle, whilst Short had been staying at North Woolwich, under Geo. Downing, and rowed in the Caller Ou, by Wyld, both old- fashioned boats. The stake at issue was £ 100 (£ 50 a side), and the distance agreed upon, from the Half- way House at the entrance of Half- way Reach, two miles below Barking, to Black wall stairs, a distance of seven and a quarter miles, which course was, owing to the serenity of the day, nearly as smooth as at Putney, except when passing steamers ruffled the serenity of Father Thames. So much interest was taken in the race that each man chartered a steamer, the Penguin ( Capt Long) conveying Cannon's friends, and the Gannet ( Capt Webb) Short's, and their occupants wiled away the tedious hours spent between leaving London Bridge and the start by that peculiar sort of chaff which seems indigenous to the banks of the Thames below the Bridge. In company, therefore, the boats arrived at the Halfway House, and the men, with much promptitude, were soon in position, Cannon winning the toss, and taking the south side of the river. During the journey down the Cannonites had wanted 2 to 1, and in some instances got it, but at the start 6 to 4 was about the current quotation on the Bermondsey lad. Cannon was accom- panied by J. Connelly as pilot, and Short by H. Skelton, while the umpires were Egalton of Blackwall for Cannon, and A. Grace, the manager of the Bermondsey Regatta, for Short; Mr Puplett of the Waterman's Arms, Commercial- road, being referee, which officials were conveyed in the Penguin. After the men had drifted some distance up they got off, Short with a lead of nearly a length, which he quickly improved, and in a hundred yards he was a clear length in front, rowing very smartly, the Ber- mondsey party offering 3 to 1 on their man, and suggesting the advisability of a doctor being sent for to look after Cannon. The latter, however, was only biding his time, for by means of several powerful strokes he rapidly made up the lost ground, was over his opponent's stern in 200 yards, and level with him in 300, Short then caught a crab, which gave Cannon a lead of a length. This Short regained in a few strokes, but finding that he could not shake his opponent off, and that he had for once met his match, he began to bore his antagonist to the north shore, and Cannon giving way Short continued to follow him up till they were unpleasantly near the Essex, and when Cannon tried to get straight, Short came on his scull. The foul was so palpable that the referee at once left his post, the race being virtually over. To shortly describe it however, Cannon, after the foul, went ahead so fast that he led by 100 yards, in a few seconds, and Short either felt he was in the wrong or was already " done,'' for he never seemed to row with an}' spirit after- wards, was left further and further astern at every stroke, and finally Cannon reached Blackwall the winner seven or eight minuLes before his opponent, being greeted by something like 10,000 people, who had assembled at every spot where a glimpse of their pet might be had. Cannon is a likely looking, and at the same time quiet, unassuming young man, and will, no doubt, be heard of again. The stakes will be obtainable at twelve o'clock, on Thursday, Oct 8. MILLWALL IRONWORKS ROWING CLUB. This club has been formed amongst the members of the Mill- wall Iron Works, and consists of two sections, the one formed of the members of the offices, and the other of the working men, thereby enabling the club to receive challenges from all amateurs. It is under the presidency of Mr George Harrison, Vice- Commo- dore of the Royal London Yacht Club, and to whom it is indebted for its present success. The grand day of the season was Satur- day, the 19th September, when handsome silver medals were offered for competition by the President, one set being for each section. The races were rowed at Erith in four- oared gigs, built expressly for this club. So great a number of persons were anxious to witness the contest that the club engaged the services of the Woolwich Company's boats Naiad and Gannet to bring down the spectators, and both were well filled. Five crews entered for the second section medals— viz, Dark Blue— Butcher, Beeton, Crook, Mayer, Smith ( cox). Red— Price, Murphy, Kirby, Mogg, Spear( cox). Yellow— Cooper, Leaver, Williams, Stewart, W. Cooper ( cox). Light Blue— Davis, Arnott, H. Griffiths, A. Hughes ( cox). Club Colour— Evans, Guy, D. Griffiths, Harrison, Langridge ( cox). The course was from Erith Pier round a boat moored a mile down the river and back to the starting post.— First heat: Dark Blue, Red, Yellow. The first named damaged their rudder in coming to the post, and were therefore unable to row. Red and Yellow then started, but a foul soon took place, and the referee judging both guilty, determined that the race should be rowed again. Mean- while Light Blue and Club Colour came to their posts for the se- cond heat. A capital race ensued, gamely contested to the finish, when Light Blue came in victorious by two lengths. Next in order came the first sectien race, when two boats contended, viz, the Captain's crew, manned by Holmes, Hudig, W. Anston, Law rence, Hughes ( cox) ; and the Secretary's crew by Hollingum, Trotter, F. B. Austin, Clayton, Cooper ( cox). The two crews were quickly to their stations, and a capital start took place, the Captain, however, taking a slight lead in the first few strokes ; they were soon overhauled by their antagonists, and side by side, stroke and stroke, they pursued their way to the turning boat, where the Scretary's boat had a slight lead of about three quarters of a length, but having the outside station they were compelled to take a large sweep in turning in order to prevent a foul, which gave the Captain a slight advantage in getting round first. Then followed one of the most brilliant spectacles in boat racing, every eye on the crowded pier gazing on these two crews, so close together that the blades of the oars nearly touched. Inch by inch was the journey back contested, and inch by inch the Secretary's crew re- gained their lost position, and began to pass their opponents. At the Training Ship the Captain put on a tremendous spurt, but too late, the gap between the two had become too large, and the Secre- tary's£ crew came in winners by a length and a half, after a race wkich was as creditable to the losers as satisfactory to the winners. After the medals had been presented it became too dark to carry out the programme, which it was determined should be completed at Mill wall. The band of the works then led the way to the steamboats, and the six hundred passengers were conveyed back to Millwall. The President having promised to make this an annual affair, the people of Erith hope that on a future occasion the M. I. W. R. C. will arrrange with them, in order that a regatta may take place on the same day. The second section races were completed, as agreed upon, at Millwall, the course being from the Works round a boat moored a little above Cubitt's Pier, and back. Yellow, Light Blue, and Club Colour were the three boats engaged in the final heat, when Yellow, winning the toss, took the inside station, and making a splendid start, soon took a lead, followed, however, pretty closely by Club Colour, Light Blue bringing up the rear. In this order they rowed to the turn, where Club Colour, getting slightly hampered by a steamer, rather lost ground. In the journey down Yellow increased its lead and came in an easy winner by several lengths, Light Blue rowing in steadily. In the absence of Mr Harrison Mr Davie presented the medals, and three cheers for the President brought these doings to a close. COOPERILND GREEN." The Australian Champion left the following letter from Mr Young to him at our office, and we publish it in full for the satis- faction of all parties. Green wished us to state that he will be at any time ready to enter upon the match according to the terms of his late challenge:— DEAR SIR : I am sorry that the letter which appeared in one of our daily papers ( not the Chronicle) should have put'you to some inconvenience. That letter was put in by a friend of mine in a moment of excitement, without advice from any of us, who see that it is utterly impossible for it to be carried out at the present time, but on a future occasion, when circumstances may suit, nothing will give us greater pleasure. I have written to Mr Fitch, and if your arrangements had rendered it possible for you to have rowed in London before leaving England, I dare say that it would have given the public great satisfaction. We do not wish it to be said. no w that you are bound to go, that we wish to take advantage, and keep challenging you, but beg to explain that I, together with three or four more of Cooper's backers, who were likewise warm supporters of Chambers, did not expect that the antagonism which has occurred between Cooper and Chambers would have taken place yet, or Cooper would have been earlier in the field. I hope this explanation will be satisfactory.— Yours, & c, 4, Blenheim- street, Newcastle,^ Sept 28, 1863. JOHN YOUNG. ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION. A meeting of this institution was held on Thursday, at its house, John- street, Adelphi ; Capt Sir Edward Perrott, Bart, V. P., in the chair. There were also present Admiral Sir George Sartorius, W. H. Harton, Col Palmer, High Sheriff of Essex; John Griffith, Admiral Bullock, Capt De St Croix, and Richard Lewis, secre- tary of the institution. A payment of £ 7 10s 6d was ordered to be made to defray the expenses of the Southport lifeboat, belonging to the society, in rescuing the master's wife and child and twelve of the crew of the barque St Lawrence, of Liverpool, which, during a gale of wind and heavy surf, had stranded on the Salthouse sandbank, on the Lancashire coast, on the 20th ult. The captain and three of the crew refused to leave the vessel, and the Lytham lifeboat, which also belongs to the institution, afterwards put off with tke view of saving them, but they remained firm in their determination not to quit the ship, and the lifeboat returned to the shore. In the course of the night they left the ship in their own boat, and had a narrow escape of their lives. The institution also voted £ 8 to pay the expenses of the life'soat. The Lytham lifeboat went off again, and ultimately succeeded in bringing the vessel into port, much to the satisfaction of the owner, who witnessed the persevering and gallant exertions of the lifeboat's crew, to whom he made a very handsome present. Both lifeboats behaved admirably on these occasions. The cost of the Southport lifeboat was the gift to the society of James Knowles, Esq, of Eagley Bank, and that of the Lytham lifeboat, of Thomas Clayton, Esq, of Wakefield. Rewards amounting to £ 21 were also granted to the crews of the Walmer and Holyhead lifeboats of the institution, for putting off in reply to signals of distress from vessels, but when their services were not afterwards required. The Walmer lifebsat put off on the night of the 23d ult., in a tremendous storm, in reply to signals from the Light Vessel on the Goodwin Sands, indicating ship in distress. On reaching the sands no vessel could be discerned, and after search- ing for some time the lifeboat anchored on the edge of the sands and remained until daylight, when she returned to the shore. It was afterwards found that a schooner had grounded on the sands, but had fortunately got off again before the arrival of the lifeboat. The lifeboat was reported to have behaved very well on the occa- sion. A reward of £ 2 was also granted to two fishermen for putting off and saving the lives of four men, who, whilst recently making for the shore off Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, were capsized from their boat during blowing weather. A reward was also voted to a boat's crew of four men for putting off and rescuing three out of six persons who had been capsized from their boat off Killoven, in Carlingford Lough. Two ladies and one gentleman had unfortunately perished on the occasion before assistance could reach them from the shore. A reward was likewise voted to a boat's crew forgoing off arid saving the lives of two sailors belonging to a Norwegian vessel lying in the Downs. The men, who had been en shore, were returning to their ship in a small boat, when they were overtaken by a sudden squall which capsized her. Some Deal boatmen observing the accident immediately launched their boat and succeeded in saving the drowning men. Various other rewards were also voted to the crews of shore- boats for saving life from various wrecks. A resolution was passed ex- pressive of the institution's deep sympathy with the widow of the late Admiral Washington, F. R. S., Hydrographerof the Admiralty, The gallant admiral had, during a long series of years, rendered important services to the lifeboat cause, and materially assisted, in conjunction with the Duke of Northumberland, in resuscitating the National Lifeboat Institution in 1851. It was reported that the late Milborne Williams, Esq, of Whitchurch, Somerset, had left the institution a legacy of £ 50. It was also stated that the in- stitution had lifeboats ready to be sent to Eastbourne, Arklow, and Teignmouth. The Rev R.' S. Sutton, rector of Rype, near Hurst Green, has sent the society £ 3 8s 6d, as a thank- offering from his congregation for the abundant harvest of the present year. Michael Steel, Esq, of Begbroke House, has forwarded to the institution a liberal donation of £ 100. Payments amounting to £ 500 having been made on various lifeboat establishments, the proceedings terminated. THE WRECK REGISrER AND CHART FOR 1362 [ From the Lifeboat.] In accordance with our annual custom for many years past, we again present our readers with a synopsis of the returns just made by the Board of Trade to Parliament of the wrecks and casualties which have taken place on the coasts and in the seas of the British Isles during the past year. It may here be observed that the materials from which these valuable documents are compiled are derived from reports furnished by the officers of Coast Guard and receivers of wreck, resident on the shores of the United Kingdom.* When we remember that the number of vessels which entered inwards and cleared outwards from different British ports in the course of the past year was 268,462, and that these ships had on board, probably, 1,610,000 men, it becomes almost a matter of certainty that a large number of casualties should take place amongst them every year. The coast of the British Isles extend upwards of 5,000 miles, and on looking at the wreck charts which accompany the register, it is observed that there are few parts of that continuous shore which are not studded with the usual wreck marks ; and thus it is that on nearly every page of the register this startling fact constantly presents itself— that during the year no less than 1,827 wrecks and casualties took place on our coasts, with the loss of 690 lives ! Compared with previous years the register informs us that the wreck experience of the past year is very unfavourable. But the number of lives lost is fortunately considerably under the average, owing chiefly to the valuable and prompt services of lifeboats and other means employed on occa- sions of wrecks on our coasts. The wrecks and casualties in the year show a large increase on the average of those during the preceding eleven years. Thenumber of wrecks in the lasteleven years was 13,657, while the total voyages made to and from British ports in that period was 2,745,910— so that one ship was wrecked oat of every 201. During the past year, as previously stated, the number of voyages of vessels to and from ports in the United Kingdom was 268,462, and out of this large number 1,827 casualties occurred— or 1 in every 147. In the past eleven years, from the above wrecks 8,775 persons were lost, or nearly 800 each year. Last year, it appears from the returns that the lives of 4,729 persons were imperilled 011 the coasts of the British Isles, of which number 690, or 14 59per cent, were lost. The wrecks and disasters for the year 1862 may be thus classed :— MONUMENT TO ROBERT C00MBES. The protracted ill health of the hon sec to this undertaking has for some time unfortunately delayed the final arrangements for its completion and for placing it on its proposed site in Brompton Cemetery, but we are happy to have it in our power to satisfy the subscribers and the public as to its progress. The monument now, and for some time, has only wanted the inscription to finish it, and any doubt as to the appropriateness of Mr Dyer's design and the artistic style in which it has been carried out will at once be set at rest by a visit to Mr Chapman's studio, 23, East- place, Kennington- road, near Kenriington- cross. The admirable execu- tion of the four different Champions ( all portraits) forming part of the design of the monument reflects the highest credit on that gentleman's ability, and will not leave the originals long uniden- tified. But before the monument can be removed a further sum of £ 20 will be required to pay tor that alone, and, besides that, the cost of the site in the cemetery. The committee have now the sum of £ 80 ( the aggregate amount of public subscriptions re- ceived and advertised by us from time to time) deposited at Messrs Gosling's, the bankers, in the joint names of three of the members. The contract with Messrs Dyer and Greenwood being for £ 100 for the monument alone, the deficiency named is at once accounted for. To meet this various suggestions have been made to the committee— taking theatres for benefits, steamboats for matches, & c, & c ; but as all involved the chance of some further loss if not successful, they have not felt justified in adopting them, especially after the failure of a match steamer to bring in any sum to the funds, although its use was liberally given gratis by Mr Hazlewood, the chairman of 1.8 C. The exertions of the committee in raising the amount already in hand, their final production of a work of art scarcely to be surpassed for appropriateness of design and quality of execution and cheapness of cost in any oublic cemetery of the country, and the liberality with which they have individually subscribed, ought to have saved them from any further demands on their pockets ; but, unwilling to appeal again to the public, they decided some time since, at a meeting at Mr F. Chandler's, the Red Lion, Blackman- street, Borough ( one of the stauuchest supporters of the scheme from the first)," That a litho- graphed engraving of the tomb should be made, and that each member of the committee should take a sufficient number of copies, at one shilling each, to raise the sum wanted," trusting to dispose of these again for the same sum to reimburse themselves. We cannot, however, but feel that it is the duty of the public to make up the deficiency, and by purchasing the engraving they will be able to do so. An artist of known celebrity has gene- rously offered to prepare this gratuitously, so that those who pay their shilling will have their shilling's worth. We have little doubt but that all that is wanted may be raised by this means, since all who knew anything of the " little Champion,'' in whose time the proud title of " Champion of the Thames " was never held by any but a London waterman, will be glad of something to remind them of him. The engraving, which is in hand, will soon be published, and when out, we shall take care to give public notice of its appearance; and in the interim we would strongly recommend a visit to Mr Chapman's to see the original. Totally wrecked 455 Seriously damaged 6!) 5 Totally lost in collision 6(> Damaged seriously by collision 272 Injured by collision 339 Total 1,827 This number of disasters for last year is at the rate of five per day. The number in each month of the year is thus given :— Vessels. Vessels. January 221 August 66 February 117 September 75 March 163 October 346 April 87 November 179 May 77 December 327 June 75 July 94 Total 1,827 It will thus be seen that the months of January, February, March, October, November, and December have been the most destructive to ships. The startling facts which the YVreck Regis- ter discloses each successive year have succeeded in drawing gene- ral public attention to this important subject, and frequently it is referred to in Parliament. On a recent occasion, when Lord Ravensworth alluded, in the House of Lords, to the necessity of constructing harbours of refuge 011 the north- east coast, he caused to be suspended in their lordships' library a large wreck chart lent by the National Lifeboat Institution. The fearful scenes represented 011 that chart naturally ex- cited their lordships' attention. Indeed the dreadful havoc which storms commit every year in the seas and on the shores of the British Isles can only be fully realized by the aid of such a chart. It is, however, satisfactory to find that the publication of the Annual Wreck Register of the Board of Trade, and other means of publicity, have materially contributed to the establish- ment on our own coasts of a system of lifeboats and life- pre- serving apparatus, which reflects the greatest credit on the philan- thropy of the age in which we live, and on the energy with which these means have been placed on our shores, by the joint action of the National Lifeboat Institution and the Board of Trade. Amidst the desolating scenes which the Wreck Register and the Chart reveal, it is consolatory to know that by means of lifeboats, the life- preserving apparatus, ships' own boats, and other means, 20,158 lives have been saved from a watery grave during the past seven years, as the annexed list shows :— Lives saved- 4,624 4,039 steamers; 53 collisions also occurred by vessels breaking from their anchors or moorings. We earnestly trust that the admirable regulations which the Board of Trade have just published to pre- vent collisions at sea will materially tend to lessen the number of these fearful disasters. The sandbanks which have proved most disastrous to vessels during 1862 are the Vessels wrecked. Long Sand 17 Newcoine Sand 11 Kentish Knock Sand 10 Gunfleet Sand 10 Scroby Sand 8 Hasbro' Sand..

The following is a summary of the means used in saving the 4,039 lives from wrecks on the coasts of the United Kingdom during the past year:— By lifeboats 3271 By rocket and mortar apparatus 310 By ships' own boats, shore boats, steeamers, & c 3,389 By individual exertion 13 Total „ 4,039 As usual, ships, ships' boats, and smacks have saved more lives in that period than the lifeboats and the rocket and mortar apparatus. This apparent discrepancy is susceptible of easy explanation. When a disaster takes place in British waters, it frequently happens that either a ship or smack is fortunately at hand to render assistance to the crews of the distressed vessels. Such help is seldom attended with any very great danger ( although sometimes it is so), and the men are often brought ashore before any tidings at all have reached a life- boat station. But the great value of the services rendered by lifeboats can only be appreciated by considering that they are mostly performed on eccasions when no other craft could be launched from the shore with safety. Schooners and brigs were, as usual, the most numerous description of vessels that were lost during the past year on our shores. These are usually employed in our coasting and coal trade, and the destruction of hundreds of them, even in moderate gaies, is now reduced to a matter of certainty. In December last seven vessels foundered off the enst coast of England— with the loss of all hands— while engaged in coasting voyages. One of them was a collier sloop 71 years of age! Another collier brig also foundered in October last, and seven out of nine of her crew were drowned. She was 99 years old 1 The following is an analysis of the tonnage of the ships lost last year :— Vessels under 50 tons 341 901 and under 1200 tons 20 51 and under loo „ 4411 1201 aud upw ards „ 11 101 „ 300 7841 301 „ 600 „ 186 I Total 1827 601 „ 900 44 | The cargoes of these vessels are thus made up :— Coals 593 ~ Ballast, not colliers 165 Colliers, in ballast 128 Metallic ores 113 Grain, oatmeal, flour, and pro- visions 109 Stone, slate, & c 100 . The most destructive gales of wind were those that blew from S. W., S. S. W., W. S. W., andN. W. We find that the ages of some of the vessels that were hurried out of existence were as follows,:— Vessels. 41 and not exceeding 50 years .. 59 51 „ ,, 60 „ .. 25 61 „ „ 90 „ .. 14 91 „ „ 100 „ .. 1 Unknown 442 General cargo Timber or bark 89 Fishing smacks 84 Various, or unknown 353 Total 1827 Under 3 years 122 3 and not exceeding 7 years.... 271 8 „ „ 10 „ .... 131 11 „ „ 14 „ .... 155 15 „ „ 20 „ ..,. 216 21 „ „ 30 „ .... 266 31 „ „ 40 „ .... 125 Total. .. 1,827 We also remark that, in perfectly calm weather, 23 vessels were wrecked ; in light airs, 28; in light breezes, 56; in gentle breezes, 43; in moderate breezes, 110; in fresh breezes, 187; in strong breezes 195; in moderate gales, 75; in fresh gales, 170; in strong gales, 199; in whole gales, 218; in storms, 63; in hurricanes, 69; and in unknown and variable weather, 52. We moreover observe that 321 vessels were wrecked that were under the command of masters holding certificates of competency; while 720 were wrecked that were commanded by others who were not required by law to hold such certificates ; and 266 that were commanded by foreigners not having British certificates. We observe that of the total wrecks during the past year on our shores, irrespective of collisions, 60 vessels foundered ; 41 vessels were driven or run on a lee shore ; 66 parted their cables, or dragged their anchors and went on shore ; 40 were wrecked from damage to hull, or the loss of masts, 3 ards, or sails; 3 were actually capsized; 72 were wrecked from inattention, carelessness, or neg- lect ; 25 from defects in ships or equipments ; 7 from a combina- tion of causes ; while 18 arose from^ accirient. Of the total wrecks that took place from collisions, 18 were from bad look- out; 22 be- cause the rule of road at sea was not observed ; 1 from want of sea room ; 4 in thick and foggy weather ; and 4 from neglecting to show lights; but it is worth observing that only one collision with total loss occurred from the error' of the pilot who was 011 board; 4 occurred from negligence and want- of caution. It is also a lamentable fact, in regard to collisions, that 141 took place in fine and clear weather ; the whole number of collisions during the year being 388— 102 in the day time, and 236 in the night. Last year 11 collisions occurred between steamers, and 190 between sailing vessels, while both were under way; 32 collisions also took place between sailing- vessels, one being at anchor and the other under way at the time ; but no collisions occurred be- tween steamers under these circumstances; 46 collisions likewise took place between steamers and sailing- vessels, both being under way ; and six only when sailing- vessels at anchor were run into by * It is only due to the memory of the late Admiral Washington, F. R. 9., Hydrographer of the Admiralty, to state that he originated about ten years ago the compilation and publication of an annual wreck register of the British Isles, accompanied by a wreck chart, llis ser- vices to the lifeboat cause, in conjunction with the Duke of Northum- berland, Preside. nt of the National Lifeboat Institution, were also of the greatest advantage to the cause of humanity. His labours in thai respect will long be remembered in the homes of our sailors and fishermen. t This number does not inelude shipwrecked crews, who, with their vessels were safely brought into port by lifeboats. The most disastrous wrecks, with the greatest loss of life, occur between that part of the coast extending from Skerries and Lam- bay to Fair Head and Mull of Kantyre. During the past thirteen years 1,641 lives were lost in that district. The next is from the North Foreland to St. Katharine's Point, which during the same period claims 1,136 lives. The estimated loss of property involved in the destruction of a portion only of the vessels wrecked in the last six years amounted to four aud a half millions of pounds sterling, although the total amount, being unre- ported, cannot be ascertained ; but who can appreciate the value of the precious lives lost in those terrible disasters, except those at © ur seaports and fishing villages who are now widows and orphans or friendless, who have bewailed with un- utterable anguish the loss of a husband, father, or near relation? On the other hand, it is most'gratifying to find thatfin these six years 4,169 lives were rescued from the jaws of death by lifeboats and the life- saving apparatus alone. It may be proper to observe that these means of saving life are rarely used except under the most perilous circumstances. One can hardly conceive a more pitiable sight than a noble ship stranded on a sand bank during a gale of wind, with her crew in the rigging, or firing minute guns as signals of distress, so that they may obtain help from the shore. On observing these signals the crew of the lifeboat immediately put off. Indeed, we know of no spectacle more sublime, or more calculated to send the blood thrilling through the veins with ad- miration and awe, than the cool, determined courage and the lively charity that sends these poor and often half- starved fisher- fellows out in the dark night, in the midst of bitter frost and snow, into a tumultuous sea and surf, hungry for their bodies, in the very teeth of a furious wind, with death threatening them on all sides, and nothing but their coolness and skill to rely upon to preserve their own lives, tosay nothing of the lives of others— leaving wives and families of little ones at home who may never see them in life again. What stout hearts those must be as, yard by yard, they struggle away from the dim shore, lost in an obscurity of scud and surf, and snow, thinking of nothing but their duty— the errand of mercy and charity before them— through the raging tempest, winning their way, though seas that to the landsman are fearful to gaze on, even from the safe standing on the beach, momentarily threaten to overwhelm them. Out further and further yet" in the dark void a speck on the waters. Another flash of the minute- gun points out where the vessel is lying aground upon a shoal, the sea making a clean breach over her, and the scud and spray flying sheer over her mastheads, which threaten to go every moment. Stand to it, stout hearts! a few more minutes of the heavy toil aud the boat will be well into leeward of the wreck, when the most dangerous part of the whole operations will commence ; for there is danger of her being stove in momentarily, either by contact with the wreck itself, or with the floating spars which may be hanging loosely around her. The relief of a wreck is no mere child's play — it often occupies hours of hard, dangerous, and unremitting toil. It is no mere sudden flash of generosity that is required— no enthusiasm burnt out as soon as kindled ; but that steady, un- daunted " pluck'' which distinguishes frequently the highest as well as the lowest class of Englishmen in times of danger. How important then is the work of the National Lifeboat Institution in providing these messengers of mercy 011 our coasts, and in en- couraging noble deeds of daring in the rescue of our fellow- creatures from an awful death ! It may be interesting here to re- capitulate briefly the operations of the National Lifeboat Institu- tion, which has now 125 lifeboats under its management. During the past year, in addition to saving twenty- one vessels from de- struction, 358 lives were rescued by the lifeboats of the society. For these services rewards amounting to £ 915 18s Id were voted. The number of lives saved by the lifeboats of the society, or by special exertions, for which it has granted rewards since its for- mation, is 13,220. For these services 82 gold medals, 733 silver medals, and £ 17,200 in cash have been granted as rewards. The institution has also expended £ 75,380 on lifeboats, lifeboat trans- porting carriages, and boat houses. Surely a society which has thus been productive of the greatest services in the cause of hu- manity will not have to appeal in vain to the public for help, to enable it to continue it3 merciful work on our dangerous sea- board ! LIMEHOUSE, POPLAR, AND MILLWALL REGATTA.— This an- nual regatta took place on Sept 21, when a new boat and money- prizes were rowed for by six free watermen of the above places, under the excellent management of Titter, J. Pereira, and Haw- kins, who amply atoned for the mismanagement of many previous regattas at Limehouse. The distance was from Eatclifif Cross to the Torrington Arms, twice round, finishing at Duke Snore on the ebb and Limehouse Hole on the flood, and the heats came off as under:— First heat: W. Kent ( Limehc use Hole) 1, H. Pereira ( Duke 8hore) 2, J. Conlan ( Kidney Stairs) 3. Kent took the lead, but it was a close race between him and Conlan to the turn, when Kent went right away, winning easily, and Pereira passed Conlan half way.— Second heat: J. Hart 1, R. Kirby 2, T. Knight 3. Hart took the lead, and after a close race was passed at the first turn by Kirby, who maintained his position till he fouled a barge, and then Hart repassed him, and won easily. Knight was a long way astern, being seized with cramp.— Third heat: Kirby 1, Pereira 2, Knight 3 ( fifth prize), Conlan 4 ( sixth prize). Pereira took the lead, followed by Knight, and a capital race ensued between them till Knight fouling his man, turned him round and went first. Pereira at the turn rowed up second, when he was again fouled and his scull broken, but this was replaced, and he then repassed Knight and Conlan, and rowed in second close to Kirby.— Fourth heat: Hart 1, Kent 2, Pereira 3, Kirby 4. Kent took the lead, and Hart following they kept these positions, till they fouled. This allowed Kirby and Pereira to go by, the former leading, and Kirby maintained his advantage till passing Limehouse Hole the first time, when Hart rowed past him ; Kent followed suit soon afterwards, and Pereira giving him the go by at the City Canal, Kirby found himself No 4, in- stead of No 1, and there remained. Meanwhile the others had a good race, finishing close together.— Final heat ; Kent 1, Hart 2. Kent soon had the lead, and won with ease. YACHTING IN FRANCE.— Before quitting Biarritz the Emperor and the Empress made an excursion to the embouchure of the Adour. A great number of curious persons assembled on Sunday at Port Fontenoy, near Vic- sur- Aisne, in order to assist at the launch of a craft of naval form which, it was stated, was com- pletely insubmersible. It is of tubular form, and appears to em- brace much of a plan already tried in the United States, but with some modifications which present a new system, to which the name of the inventor, M Lienart, has been given. Caudebec re- gatta passed off in a spirited and successful fashion on Sunday, Sept 27- The first prize, for yachts, was carried off by the Tinta- marre, M Jugelet, of Paris. The Societe des Regates Parisiennes has not yet quiteclosed its season, but willhavea display an Oct 11, in which three series of river yachts will compete simultaneously for distinct prizes. A medal, given by the Kmperor, is offered for competition among the first series. At Bordeaux regatta, Sept 20. a match between small yachts of 20ft floatation was won by the Risette, M Duffet de Laomont, the second prize going to the Clarisse, M Berget. The Russian pleasure yacht Verke, be- longing to the Prince Pierre du Sayne Wittgenstein, has been cruising off the French coasts. YACHT CBUISES.— The Surf, cutter, 54 tons, Mr C. T. Couper, jun, of the Royal Northern and other clubs, has sailed on a cruise from Greenock with the Clutha, cutter, 90 tons, Mr C. J. Ten- nant. The iEolus, cutter, 60 tons, Mr T. Houldsworth, has pro- ceeded to the Gareloch. The Aquila, cutter, 45 tons, Sir R. Shaw- Stewart, has arrived in Gourock Bay from a cruise ; and the fol- lowing yachts have laid up in Gourock Bay for the winter :— The Circe, schooner, 128 tons, Mr D. Richardson, Vice- Commodore of the Royal Northern ; the Talisman, yawl- rigged, 99 tons, Capt C. Hankey ; the Tana, schooner. 39 tons, Mr E. 8. May, of the Royal St George's, & c. The Lalla Rookh, schooner, 126 tons, Viscount Bangor, of the Royal Squadron, Royal St George's, & c, has sailed for Gareloch. LAUNCH OF THE FEENCH YACHT CYCLONE AT COWES.— A mag- nificent yacht of 155 tons was launched 011 Sept 29 from the building yard of Messrs Ratsey and Sons, constructed by them for the Prince de Beauvau Craon, who, with a very fashionable company, was present. This yacht is well timbered and extra- ordinarily fastened, having the scantling of a vessel of 400 tons. We believe she is destined in the first place for a winter's cruise in the Mediterranean, preparatory to her departure for the Poly- nesian Islands, and will be commanded by the prince, who has made several oriental voyages. She is to be rigged as a brigantine. Her dimensions are— Length over all 101ft, length for tonnage 85ft, breadth 20ft, and depth lift 9in draft of water lift aft and about 7ft forward, and measures 155 34- 91th tons, o. m. CONSTANTINOPLE REGATTA.— We referred recently to the or- ganisation of a regatta at Constantinople, under the immediate pationage of His Majesty the Sultan. There was a large assem- blage of yachts, caiques, and craft of all kinds in the extensive bay of Buyukdere. In the yacht match the first prize of 5,000 piastres was won by Mr Morton, and the second ( 1,500 piastres) by Mr M'Kendrick. The other matches were between caiques, canoes, & c. THE LATE PORTSMOUTH REGATTA.— Mr Editor: In your report of the Portsmouth Regatta you state that the " Emma, in jibing round the station vessel, got foul and came to grief." The Agenoria fouled the station vessel and went the wrong side, causing the Emma to be placed second in the list of arrivals. I should feel obliged by your correcting the mistake in your next impression.— Yours, & c, JAMES COOK, pilot. In answer to the challenge from T. Hoare of Hammersmith, * F. Griggs of Shoreham will row Hoare, for £ 50 a side, at Shoreham, from the Suspension Bridge two miles out and back, in 18ft skiffs, not outrigged. Money ready any night next week at the Burell's Arms Hotel, Shoreham. Griggs will allow Hoare £ 2 for expenses. E. Idle and G. Livesey of Manchester will row a pair- oared race against any other two novices of tha same place, under 20 years, for their own amount.

G. Baker of Mill Stairs will row J. Bheppard of Surrey Canal from Putney to Barnes, for £ 10 a side, and will meet hiin at the Prince of Orange to make a match on Tuesday, Oct 6. PIGE0H SHOOTING. CHATHAM AND ROCHESTER FANCY RABBIT SHOW, On Monday evening, Sept 23, an important meeting of the members of the Chatham and Rochester Fancy Rabbit Society was held at the club house, Gibraltar Inn, New- road, Chatham, to carry out the rules and regulations, and to appoint a chairman and deputy- chairman, and also to present the awards to the suc- cessful competitors whose rabbits obtained prizes at the recent shew held on Monday, Bept 21. Mr Thomas Ayerst, the chair- man of the society, presided, and that gentleman briefly observed that the committee still adheres to the plan of giving silver plate to the owners of those rabbits which obtained prizes for length of ears, instead of money, as heretofore, the committee feeling con- fident that the change will tend greatly in giving a greater zest and exciting more interest among the members, 111 their endea- vour to excel each other in showing the best rabbits possible. The competition for the possession of the silver vase, for the long- est- eared rabbit, had brought out some very fine specimens, and as the vase must be taken by the breeder who wins it in two suc- cessive shows before it becomes the absolute property of him, it induced many to pay a little more attention to rabbit breeding. Last session Mr J. H, Gilbert produced the longest- eared rabbit, which measured 22| inches : in this session he was beaten by Mr T. Ayerst's buck by a quarter of an inch, and also by Mr Bath's fawn doe, measuring 21$ inches, whilst Mr J. Gilbert's sooty fawn buck measured 21| inches. The first prize awarded by the judges was a pair of silver table spoons, given to Mr Thos. Ayerst, and half a dozen silver teaspoons were handed to Mr Bath for second- best length of ear, and a silver snuffbox was given to Mr Joseph H. Gilbert for the third. The remaining prizes for rabbits for all properties were as usual. The next important business was that of electing chairman, deputy chairman, and committee, which gave rise to observations from several members; and eventually the election of president fell on Mr Jas. Warner, a very old member of the club, tind Mr Collier was elected deputy- chairman in lieu of Mr Gilbert. Several new members were elected, and a new committee was appointed to carry out the rules and regulations for the management of the society, the funds of which are improving. The judges are to be chosen previous to the show days, which are in March and September. After the business was over, a very pleasant evening was spent by the members and their friends.

Rats in myriads, the pit ready at all times ; and worthy of a call is the Two Brewers. PRINCE UAPOLEON AND BILL GEORGE — Bill George requests us to state that the object of Prince INapoleon in visiting this country was to have an interview with him 011 the subject of dog shows, and other important matters. His imperial highness was received by William on Monday last at Canine Castle, Kensal New Town, and conducted over the establishment, with which he was much pleased. He had the gratification of joining in the noble sport of hunting that ferocious animal, the British rat— a chasse of which was got up for his amusement. The prince after- wards purchased some cf William's " beauties," left substantial tokens of his pleasure with George, jun; and having obtained a model of William's best hat for his own adoption, took his depar- ture with his suite. At F. Price's, Duke of Clarence, 96, Lever- street, St Luke's, a show of all kinds of dogs will take place Oct 4, Mr A.

Baum's enclosed ground, to walk two miles, for £ 5 a side; the meeting, for a minor affair, being well attended. The competitors had to make fourteen laps to complete the distance, and in adjusting the preliminaries, W. Hatley ( the pedestrian) was appointed referee. The betting was slightly in favour of Bio > rne, but therewas not a great deal of money speculated on the result. On starting the men went away at a good pace, and kept well together for the first lap, but no sooner ad they passed the referee and commenced the second round than the lead was taken by Broome, who, however, had his opponent following so well in the rear, that he did not succeed in placing a gap of more than two or three yards between them. On the part of both the match was sustained in a very spirited manner, but during the whole of the first mile there was not the least variation in position, as the lead was held by Brooine. As, however, the pedestrians entered upon the eighth lap, this being the commence- ment of the second mile, Criss put on a fine spurt, challenged his man for the lead, and " pulled out'' in such a decided style, that he not only closed on Broome, but amidst the cheers of his friends came to the front. Criss was not to maintain this advan- tage long, for ere the competitors had got 50 yards further, Broome was once more leading, and from the manner ia which he now put on the steam it was apparent he was much superior to his opponent in speed. Criss, from the ready and easy style he had been passed by his man, at a moment when his hopes of ulti- mate success were greatest, found he was being complete^ out- paced, and it was now that he broke the rules of fair heel and toe, by commencing a regular trot. This gross and palpable infringe- ment at once called for the interference of the referee, by whom Criss was disqualified, so that Broome, having had the match awarded to him by the above- named functionary, had nothing more to do than to walk the distance out at his leisure. On Monday, Sept 28, the grounds were engaged for the benefit of G. Beward, the once- noted pedestrian, but the sports were not of a character that need description. The affair, so far as Seward is concerned, was far from a benefit to him, as, owing to the weather up to an advanced hour in the day being extremely unpropitious, there was but a very limited attendance. PEDESTRIANISM AT BROMPTON. FOBD, SNOW, AND BAGSHAW.— On Monday, Sept 28, there was a good attendance on J. Roberts's enclosed ground to witness the quarter of a mile sweepstakes between the above- mentioned pedestrians, for £ 5 each, the winner to take the whole of the money. The competitors had to run once round to complete the distance, and when the proper officials had been appointed they came to the mark, looking in admirable condition. The betting was 6 to 4 on Bagshaw, and there was a good deal of money in- vested on the result. The pedestrians had to start by report of pistol, and, on the signal being given, dashed off in good style. Bagshaw, who displayed a little more readiness than his oppo- nents in getting off, obtained the advantage of position, and, with a lead of some two yards in his favour, made the running at a slashing pace, Ford coming next in rotation, and Snow a little in the rear of Ford. When the first 100 yards had been run, Bag- shaw had so improved his advantage that he had placed a gap of some four yards between them. As, however, they came rattling along the back of the course, Ford pulled himself well together, and in as fine a bit of running as ever has been witnessed, chal- lenged his man for the lead. Although in the exciting struggle that now ensued between the two leading men Bagshaw made the most strenuous efforts to maintain command of posi- tion, yet it was apparent he would not succeed, for as they came bounding along. Ford, it was palpable to all, was gaining on his man, while Snow, in the rear of the last- named pedestrian, was likewise racing remarkably well. When the men had made the top bend of the course Ford had so improved his position as to have the lead in his favour, while Bagshaw, having again in turn been compelled to give way to Snow, dropped into the third place. The alteration thus effected in the relative positions of the men from the start fully demonstrated that Bagshaw had been completely outpaced by the superior speed of his competitors, therefore as he felt his chance was completely gone he did not attempt to run the distance out, but pulled up and resigned just as the straight run had been entered for the goal. Ford, when he had once assumed the lead, rnaj- be said to have had the race well in hand, for although Snow as the next best performer ran well with his man to the finish, yet on passing the gaol Ford did so a winner by a good twenty yards. having run the " quarter'' in56sec. MATCH AGAINST TIME.— This was a match against the " enemy," in which MRL., an amateur, had been backed, for a bet of £ 15 to £ 10, to run 10 miles within the hour, which termi- nated in Time being defeated by 29jsec, the match on the part of the amateur being sustained from the commencement to the finish in the most plucky and resolute style. FOBD AND FISHEE.— These men next came on the ground to run 100 yards, for a small stake; Ford, who received four yards Btart, going in a winner, after a fine struggle, by not more than two feet. ASCOTT AND M'MILLAN.— This was also a spin of 100 yards, for a small stake, and ended in Ascott being the winner of a well- contested struggle by a bare yard. The One Mile Handicap, for £ 5, is postponed until Oct 12, so as not to clash with the race with Lang and Mills. Entries will re- main open accordingly. The ground can be engaged by persons for any athletic pursuits, and no ground is more eminently adapted for the purpose, or more accessible by rail, omnibus, or steamboat, from all parts. Cricketers should call and take stock. PEDESTRIANISM AT BOW. FINAL HEAT FOR THE HALF MILE HANDICAP.— On Saturday, Sept 26, there was a good muster of tke metropolitans assembled on C. Wilson's enclosed ground, the Olympia,, Bow, to witness the decision of the above event, the preparatory heats of which had been run on Monday, Sept 21. The winners of the eight prelimi- nary heats were as follows :— viz. Smith of Bethnal Green 120 yards start, Book of Bow 107, Blake of Kingston 108, Hall of Islington 107, Davis of Islington 112, Langley of the West End 115, Vinegar of Lambeth 107, Mitchell of Bow 110. The betting was 6 to 4 on Langley, 2 to 1 agst Smith, and 4 to 1 agst any oi the others, and there was a good deal of the needful invested, " s the competitors were well supported by their partisans. ^.' Vhen the whole of the team had been got together, and nad taken up their positions according to the conditions of the handicap, the signal for them to start was given by J. Pudney, who acted as M. C. Smith, who had the longest start, the instant the pistol had been fired went off at a slashing pace, and from the fine manner in which he made the running, it was ap- parent that by at once putting on the " high pressure '' he was re- solved to make, so far as he was concerned, a right away race of it at his best possible pace. As Smith thus from the start went dash- ing along he looked a very formidable competitor, and those who had backed the favourite became more than ever impressed with the conviction he was destined that day to prove superior to those opposed to him. Until nearly 300 yards of the distance, Smith, well at the head of the'• field," led the van, but now a change took place. Langley, who had been racing splendidly in the rear of the leading man, made a magnificent spurt, and challenged Smith for the lead. Althoughjrunning as gamely as a man could run, yet Smith, when challenged for the front position, could not maintain the struggle with his competitor. From the commence- ment he had been running at his best speed, therefore had no power to do more when the critical crisis came on. Langley in superb style having closed up the gap came to the fore, the pace still, to all intents and purposes, being " a screamer.'' Smith from acting as pioneer to the force was still further to fall into " trouble," for he had no sooner been compelled to make room for Langley than he was in turn passed by Blake, Davis, and Hall. The race on the part of the leading pedestrians was sustained in a most ex citing manner to the end, finishing in Langley going in a fine win- ner, thus taking the prize of £ 10. Davis received the second of £ 2. and Hall, who was a good third, had his exertions rewarded with the third prize of £ 1. On Monday, Sept 28, the grounds were engaged for donkey races, tut to which there need be no further allusion made than to say the fun was witnessed by some 2,000 spectators. PEDESTRIANISM AT WANDSWORTH. MATCH AGAINST TIME.— On Monday, Sept 28, an amateur at- tended G. Woody's enclosed ground to walk seven miles and a quarter in one hour and 10 minutes, for a bet of £ 20 even. There was a good muster present, and the betting was 6 to 4,' on Time. J. Jacques was chosen referee; W. Lang, the celebrated pedestrian, officiating as timekeeper. The amateur had to make the circuit of the course twenty- nine times, and all the preparatory matters being arranged he came to the mark soon after five o'clock. On receiving the " office" to start the amateur ( who. it may be stated, has walked several prior matches) went off in good style, and completed the first mile in 8min 30sec, two miles in 18min I2sec, three miles in 27min 50sec, and the first four miles were accom- plished by the amateur in 37min 38sec. He still went gallantly on and continued the struggle against the " enemy," five miles in 48min 35sec, the six miles being " worked off" in 59min. As the amateur went by far the commencement of the seventh mile he gave the most unequivocal symptoms of distress, and now it became more than ever certain that he was destined to defeat. Although to all intents and purposes " U3ed up," the amateur kept on in the most determined and resolute style until the finish of the seventh mile, when the stipulated time was announced to have expired, so that it will from this be seen the amateur took one hour and 10 minutes in accomplishing this distance, therefore lost the match by one lap, or a quarter of a mile. JONES AND OLIVER.— Prior to the above event coming off these men ran 100 yards, for £ 5 a side, which was won by Jones, who got the best of the start, maintained the lead from end to end, and went in a winner by three yards. Mr Woody, the pro- prietor of the ground, acted as referee. PEDESTRIANISM AT BIRMINGHAM AND DISTRICTS. ASTON CEOSS GROUNDS.— We have nothing to report worthy of notice as having taken place during the week at these grounds, with the exception of an amateur match between C. Brownrigge and H. Parkes, who met on Wednesday morning at an early hour to run a quarter of a mile round the new grounds, for £ 5 a side. As the affair was kept snug the attendance was limited to those in the " know," a well known sporting boniface acting as referee. Both men were pretty equally matched as to age, height, & c, and from the slight training each had undergone their condition was pretty good. Parkes was made the favourite, and his friends backed him freely at 6 to 4, which was readily taken. At the re- port of the pistol they both got away together, and ran shoulder to shoulder for half the distance, when Brownrigge got to the front, closely followed by Parkes up to the straight run home, when Brownrigge made a dash forward and went in a winner by a yard, evidently to the great surprise of Parkes's friends, who had booked it a safe win. W. FOXALL AND G. ROOM.— These Birmingham men are matched to run 200 yards, for £ 5 a side, on Oct 26, on the new grounds as above. A further deposit for the same must be inade to Mr Clulee ( the proprietor of the grounds), who is final stake- holder, on Monday. Mr Coates to be referee. T. BROWN OF BIRMINGHAM AND W. JONES OF LONDON.— These well- known pedestrians have signed articles to run half a mile round the above ( new) grounds, for £ 10 a si » ie, Brown giving Jones a start of five yards, to come off on Monday, Oct 19; to start by report of pistol, Mr Tailby, the stakeholder and referee, to appoint a party to fire the same. A further deposit of £ 4 10s a side mu.- t be made on Monday, Oct 5, to the stakeholder. T. NEWBOLD AND F. PETERS.— These well- known Birmingham men are matched to run 100 yards, for £ 7 10s a side ( Peters to have a yard start), at the above grounds, on Monday, Nov 2. £ 1 a side is down in the hands of Mr Currie, the final stake- holder, to whom a further deposit must be made on Monday, Oct 5.

Rhodes of Wolverhampton from one up to four miles level; either match for £ 5 or £ 10 a side; to come off on the new grounds at Aston Cross. Money ready at Mark Sansom's, the Justice Inn, Scholefield street, Bloomsbury. PEINCE OF WALES GROUNDS, HOLLOWAY HEAD, BIRMING- HAM.— J. THOMPSON AND R. DAWES.— These Birmingham men met at the above grounds on Saturday, Sept 26, to run a quarter of a mile round, for £ 5 a side, Dawes" giving Thompson five yards start. Both men have run in various matches at the above grounds. They were both in good trim. Dawes was waited upon by H. Brown, and Thompson by J. Loury. The betting was limited at even money, Dawes for choice, our correspondent doing the need- ful as referee. At the report of a pistol the men got away, Dawes with the best of the start; at half distance the men were in the same pesition as at starting, but, on turning for the straight run ( 100 yards from the winning- post), Dawes was close upon his man. A severe race home, Dawes going in a winner by a foot. A. DEAKIN'S 235 YABDS HANDICAP FOR MONEY PRizts.— Immediately after the above the bell rang for the commencement of the ninth of a series of handicaps. 33 names were placed on the card to contend for the same, in 11 lots.

Peters 34, 1 ; C. Catlin 41, 2 ; J. Holcroft 36, 3.

At the signal Smith and Peters bounded away fully three yards before Hartshorne, who went away at a rattling pace, and gradually gained upon his opponents; at the straight run home he was close upon both; when 50 yards from home he had got the lead, and went in a winner a foot before S- nith; Peters close up.

THE GREAT ALL ENGLAND HANDICAP OF 606 YARDS, OR ONCE ROUND HYDE PARK, SHEFFIELD, AND 100 YARDS.— On Monday and Tuesday, Sept 28 and 29, nearly 1,500 spectators, a great number of whom came from Manchester, Rochdale, Old- ham, Leeds, Huddersfield, Bradford, Halifax, Newcastle, & c, as- sembled together on this celebrated ground to witness the above handicap race, got upuiider the joint management of Mr J. Booth- royd, the proprietor of the ground, and Mr J. Darley, mine host of the Green Dragon, Fargate, Sheffield, who gave the following money prizes to be run for, viz :—£ 30 for the winner, £ 4 for the second, and £ 1 for the third. The entrance being 2s each, an ad- ditional 4s more to accept. 72 runners entered, and out of that number 31 accepted the handicapper's veto. Out of the latter number, however, there were fifteen absentees. A tidy amount of speculation took place on the ground before the running com- menced at the following quotations :— 5 to 2 agst Narey, 5 to 1 agst Spencer, 6 to 1 agst Preston and Skinner, 10 to 1 agst Smith, and 20 to 1 agst Ainlev. M. Burke was also well supported at about 10 to 1. Any odds were offered against tiie others. Our reporter having " refused to act as referee, Mr P. Carr of Sheffield undertook the unthankful office. We have great pleasure in stating that no event that has taken place in this district for some time past gave such satisfaction as the present one. This, we think, speaks volumes in favour of handi- cappers, especially when all is fair and above board. The first heat was fixed for half- past three o'clock, and shortly after that time the bell was rung for Lot 1. We subjoin the results:— First heat: J. Spencer of Huddersfield, 56 yards start, 1; J. Andrews of Millbrook 53, 2. Won after a splendid race by a foot only. G. Reany 80, and W. Waithman 51, gave up.— Lot 2: R. Preston of Old Malton 80. 1; M. Burke of Salford 53, 2. This heat was won easily by Preston by eight yards. W. H. Jackson 78, and S. Crooks 83, also started but were not placed.— Lot 3: J. Lyons of Salford 80, 1; C. Smith 78, 2. Lyons won easily by half a score yards. Smith, we think it was patent to all present, did not try. — Lot 4: J. Narey of Hulme 60, 1; A. Ainley of Rawmarsh 80, 2. Won easily by nine yards. J. Hogg of Gateshead 52, also started but gave up at the bottom of the hill.— Lot 5: J. Skinner 70, 1; J. Siminonite 80, 2; R. Bullivant of Nottingham 62, 3. Won easily by 10 yards.— Final heat: This event was set down to take place at five o'clock on Tuesday, and punctually at that hour the bell rang and the ground was cleared, and shortly afterwards the five successful competitors of the previous day made their appear- ance on the ground and toed their respective marks. All being in readiness the pistol was fired and a good start was effected, the men running in their places to the bottom of the hill, where the favourite, Narey, putting on a little extra steam, shot in front and landed himself the winner, completing the distance in lmin 7jsec, by haif a dozen yards. Skinner being second, Preston third, Spencer fourth, and Lyons last. GBEAT ALL ENGLAND 220 YARDS HANDICAP RACE AT HYDE PARK, SHEFFIELD.— Mr J.

SATURDAY, SEPT 26.— ORAM AND HOWABD.— Though the day was exceedingly fine, the attendance here this afternoon was somewhat limited, partly in consequence of the matches which came off clashing with the Manchester Autumn Meeting then pending on the course at Castle Irwell. The chief, but least interesting event decided was a race of 300 yards, for £ 10 a side, between M. Oram of Manchester and 8. Howard of the same city, to contest which the men entered the ground shortly before six o'clock. Speculation on the result was at evens, but little money changed hands. Soon after starting Oram had the race in hand, and he went in a very easy winner, Howard evidently not being able to cope with him on equal terms. M'GUIRE AND BENNETT.— F. M'Guire and W. Bennett are a brace of novices who respectively hail from the vicinity of Red Bank, Manchester, and, like many others who wish to climb the pedestrian ladder of fame, each claimed to be the superior in speed. They therefore made a match to contest the distance of one mile, for £ 5 a side, and as neither had ever previously stripped in a foot- racing arena, the event naturally excited some interest amongst their friends as to the manner in which they would ac- quit themselves in their new profession. After proceeding from the mark on equal terms, it soon became obvious that the merits of the competitors were pretty equally balanced, as they went along in close proximity, each in turn possessing the lead. At length the pace, though only very moderate, began to tell, but still they kept well together, alternately changing places, Bennett holding the front position on coming up the straight in the final revolution. When a dozen yards from the tape M'Guire was about two yards and a half in the rear of his opponent, and he then gave up, quite exhausted, leaving Bennett to go in the win- ner of a gamely- contested race. MONDAY.— RABBIT COUBSING.— There was a fair attendance of company present this afternoon to witness a rabbit sweepstakes for money prizes, for which 16 dogs had been entered. At the conclusion of the sport the first prize was awarded to Shaw's Polly, and the second to Cross's Violet. A " Leger," in which eight dogs were engaged, subsequently came off, which was won by Etchell's Fly, Christie's Fly gaining the second prize.

SATURDAY, SEPT 26.— LOWE AND LYONS.— W. Lowe and J. Lyons ( both of St Helens) met here this afternoon', to run 440 yards, for £ 10 a side.

Allsopp' 8 Fan of Gorton and J. Hibbert's Jip of Droylsden, 11 out of 21, 55 yards law, for £ 10 a side, at catch weights. The con- test proved a very tame affair, Jip securing 11 to Fan's 3.

HIGGINSHAW GROUNDS, OLDHAM. SATURDAY, SEPT 26.— DOG HANDICAP.— Of the many out- door pastimes which are pursued with avidity probably none is more popular in the neighbourhood of Oldham than dog racing. Confirmation of this is to be found in the fact that Mr J, Chad- wick having published his intention to give £ 10 in prizes for a handicap, distance 200 yards, no fewer than 79 animals were en- tered to compete.

PEDESTBIANISM AT LYNN.— HODSON V TIME.— On Mondaj-, Sept 28, an amateur one mile race, which excited a good deal of interest amongst the lovers of pedestrianism in this town, came off on the West Winch road. The preliminaries were arranged at the Live and Let Live, Hodson, a butcher, whose " light" weight was only 14st 61b, having matched himself to run a mile in six minutes, for £ 6. Mr G. Larwood was the backer of Time. Im- mediately the match had been made Hodson went into training, but was unable to reduce himself more than a few pounds. At the hour named for the race to commence there were several hundreds of persons congregated in the neighbourhood of the Sportsman, on the West Winch road. There was a fairish deal of speculation, the odds being 6 to 4 on Time. Messrs J. Langley of the Bird in Hand, and G. J. Rose of the Bee Hive, were chosen referees, Mr J. Rix being timekeeper. The course selected was a straight piece of the Lynn and London road, starting from the second milestone from Lynn, and running to the first milestone. At three o'clock Hodson ( who was waited on by Billy Brown of Lynn) toed the mark in true pedestrian costume; but it was apparent to the critical eye that his condition was not what could be wished, as he had far too much superfluous flesh. Still the odds were rather freely taken by his supporters. On starting he bounded away with a fleetness that fairly knocked the wind out of those who had laid the odds, and the first half mile was terminated with several seconds to spare. After the next 100 yards Hodson began to show signs of dis- tress, and his friends tried all they could to urge him along, but his speed and endurance were evidently failing him; however, he ran game, and did his utmost to win the match. When be reached the end of the mile he was found to be six seconds over the six minutes. The ground was very heavy, in consequence of the heavy rain which had fallen in the morning, and Hodson is so confident that he can accomplish the distance within the six minutes, that he is ready to make another match of the same kind. TUENEE AND WILLS — On Monday, Sept 28, these men met on the Bristol- road, to run 200 yards, for £ 5 a side. A fair number cf spectators assembled, both men having been backed from the Waggon Works. Some spirited betting took place, 5 to 4 at first being offered on Turner: eventually 2 to 1 was offered on the scratch. Wills ( who, being a dark one, was backed on the off chance) did not appear a proficient at the start, for after one false move he allowed Turner to run five or six yards, and then ran after him— no pistol having been fired as agreed. The issue, after such a start, was never in doubt, Turner winning by 10 yards. Time, 24sec. Phillips of Blisworth and Garratt of Kislingbury met on Satur- day, Sept 26, on the turnpike road, about three miles from Northampton, to run 200 yards, for £ 5 a side, to start by report of pistol. About 500 people were present. The betting was even, but little money was laid on the event. A beautiful level bit of ground was selected, and W. Loakes of Northampton chosen re- feree. The men got well away together, and when they had run the first 100 yards Garratt was leading by about a yard, and maintained it until within 20 yards of the goal, when Phillips made a rush, and just came in a winner by a yard. GEEAT CHAMPION RACE AT HACKNEY WICK ON MONDAY, OCT 5.— LANG AND MILLS.— These old opponents will again meet on Monday, the distance being five miles, for the Champion Belt at that distance, and a stake of £ 50. It will be remembered that this fine trophy was first contended for on Aug 17, when eight started, and it was won by the Middlesborough Wonder; Young England, who although far from fit, running very close for second. The performances of Lang since then have been really astonishing, outstripping all former " time'' in one and two miles, being the " champion even among champions," and the doings of all previous pedestrians pale before the re- nowned Croweateller. He holds the cups for one mile, two miles, four miles, ten miles, and twelve miles, and will " defend" the Five Mile Belt on Monday. But still the gallant Teddy Mills boldly throws down the gauntlet to so formidable an oppo- nent ; for with the exception of the contest on Aug 17, the " Pride of Hackney Wick" has not run in any important match, and has since been striving to the uttermost, by severe and judicious train- ing, to get ready for his great trial with the redoubtable Lang. The distance is also considered Mills's forte— five miles— as our readers are aware that he has held, and still holds, the Six Mile Championship ; and it i9 said that the immense amount of work he has been doing will bring him in fine fettle to the post. If both are well it will be a clipping race indeed. The liberal con- ditions by which this belt is held will make even the Champion strain every nerve to " defend" it, as if he can maintain it for three races it becomes his own property. It is a long time since any race created so much interest, and no doubt many will flock to Hackney Wick, if it is only to see such a wonder as Lang bound along. Mills will also have his legion of friends, and it is treason to doubt his endeavours on so exciting an occasion. From the vast amphitheatre which surrounds the course the spectators will have an uninterrupted view of the competitors all round; the railway authorities will run extra trains, and the start will take place at five o'clock precisely on Mondaj', Oct 5. The Cham- pion Belt can be seen at the Crown and Anchor Booth, Croydon Fair, on Friday and Saturday; and at the Spotted Dog, Strand, to- morrow evening, and on Monday until twelve o'clock.

Finighty writes to us as follows:—" Sir: Having seen in the Liverpool Mercury of the 28th September an account of a murder committed at Teignbridge by a man of the name of James Stephens, a pugilist, and that a man of the name of Simon. Finighty, a pugilist, connected with a boxing booth, was taken as an accomplice, I beg to say I am the only Simon Finighty of the P. R., and this man has been going under my name, and is an impostor. I have been residing Mr Thomas Wa1 ton's, the Lifeboat House, Liverpool, for these iasi three months, and have not been out of the town. Wishing you would be so kind as to let my friends know that I am not the man, I remain, sir, yours respectfully, SIMON FINIGHTY, P. B. A." WRESTLING.— T. Schora of Ashton will wrestle E.

DEATH OF ATKINSON, THE CUMBERLAND CHAMPION.— The Carlisle Journal records the death of Robt. Atkinson— a name well known in that and every district where Cumberland wrestling is practised or admired. Many who now contend in the Carlisle ring will remember his extraordinary strength and power, and some few who are now fast receding have experienced the grasp from which there was no relief except to fall. Atkinson's name never stood very prominent in connection with what has been termed the " science" of wrestling, introduced and practised about the time of Gordon and Chapman, and afterwards perfected by the celebrated Jackson of Kenniside. who has also gone to his account; but will ever be remembered as the most powerful wrestler ever seen on Carlisle Swifts, and one who was equally remarkable for the kind and gentle disposition which he manifested towards all his opponents. Jackson possessed the ability, but Atkinson had the strength which earned for him the professional sobriquet by which he was so well known— the " Man Mountain," or " The Sleagill Giant." Each was the winner of many prizes in his « wn peculiar way, and the last contest between the two great cham- pions who have now fallen to rise no more is too well known to be repeated here. The match for thechampionshipatFlan terminated their career in the ring. The crushing Jackson received on that occasion he never forgot or shook off. Now paralysis has reduced his great opponent, and all that is left of the two great " dous" is the record of their names and their deeds for the comparison oi their respective friends and admirers.

Going, S. Mansergh, R. Phillips, E. W. Murphy, J. J. Scully, and R. H. Shine, Esqs. Judge: R. J. Hunter, Esq. Clerk of the Course : Mr P. Cusack. This long- established and popular meeting ( held the week after Limerick) was extensively patronised on its opening day by the gentry of Tipperary, who have always taken great interest in it. The first event decided was the Member's Plate, a feeat affair, for which eight contested the first heat, and two the final one, which The Thrush won cleverly, defeating the Captain, who after- wards at auction found a new owner for 27 sovs. The eleven ac- ceptors for the Rock Stakes made their appearance in due time, and on taking their preliminary canter past the Stand looked and went well, the tout ensemble of the scene at the moment having a brilliant and pleasing effect. The race was run at a clipping pace, and the excitement was well sustained to the finish, Leorndas, more fortunate here than at Limerick, turning up the winner rather easily. However, if Ely Fisher had not lost ground in coming to the last fence, the result might have been in his favour. Agnes, who ran second for the Trades Plate at Limerick, had no difficulty in disposing of Con Cregan and five others for the Hunt Stakes, with which the day's sport was wound up. The second day of the meeting ( Wednesday) turned out stormy, and so fear- fully wet that the stewards were reluctantly obliged to postpone the races. The weather moderated sufficiently on Thursday to enable the stewards to bring the meeting to a termination. Owing to the nature of the soil the course was by no means as deep as most people expected it would be, after the heavy downfall of rain, which came on so suddenly and inopportunely for the suc- cess of the meeting. TUESDAY, SEPT 29.— The MEMBER'S PLATE STAKES of 2 sovs each, hft, 25 sovs added by J. Lanigan, Esq., M. P.; the second saved his stake; heats, about one mile and a half over the steeple chase course.

Melrose jumped off with the lead, National Petition and Nancy Till next, with the others handy to the wall above the Stand, which all cleared well, but on coming to the next fence Sly Fox rolled over and was walked back. Aladdin bore up hill at his best pace, and quickly obtained a long lead, followed by Topthorn, Leonidas, National Petition, Fly Fisher, Melrose, and the others, but unfortunately at the bank fence, on the top of the hill, came into collision with Topthorn, and both were grassed. At the turn down hill Rose was in front, and continued so to the Stand, with Melrose, National Petition, Switch, Leonidas, and Fly Fisher close up to the wall, next the Stand, which Rose hit hard and was pulled up. Melrose then carried on the race along the Cashel road the second time round, followed by National Petition, Leonidas, Fly Fisher, Switch, and Nancy Till. On coming to the limekiln and turning down hill for home, Melrose held a slight lead and continued with it to the last bank and ditch, which she took splendidly, the others imme- diately closing with her the lot then breasted the hill in close company, and on turning into the straight Leonidas was in front, with National Petition and Fly Fisher alongside, an exciting finish ending in favour of the^ former by a length and a half ; two lengths between second and third, three lengths between third and fourth, Melrose was fifth, close up, and Nancy Till last; Fairy King bolted the first time round. The winner was admirably piloted by Hyland. Run in 8min.

When they settled to their work Agnes went to the fore, followed by Miss Arthur, Bantam, Con Cregan, and the others, to the lime- kiln at the far side of the course. Passing the Stand, Agnes held a slight lead, followed by Con Cregan and the rest of the field over the wall and next fence. Elley then raced on in front to the next ditch, where Agnes and Miss Arthur passed her with Con and Osprey close up, to the turn down hill for home, an interesting contest from thence ending in the success of Agnes by two lengths; a moderate third, and bad fourth; the others were stopped, and walked in.

PARIS AUTUMN RACES. [ FROM OUE OWN CORRESPONDENT.] These agreeable reunions commenced last Sunday, and although appearances gave every indication that there was going to be a repetition of the previous Sunday at Chantilly as regards the weather, the clouds this time caused false alarms, for towards one o'clock this question was set quite at rest by a brilliant sun- shine. The morning signs had, however, apparently frightened the pleasure- loving Parisians, for the very small attendance presented a most singular contrast to the last race scene at Longchamp on the day of the Grand Prix. A very interesting contest was ex- pected for the opening event, the Prix Principal, for both Con- quette and Dollar were engaged, and although the mare had to give the latter 81b, opinions were very varied as to the probable result, many believing that, as Dollar is evidently more at home over a mile and a quarter than two miles and a half, and the ground being likewise heavier than he generally likes, the mare would pull through, notwithstanding her penalty. M Dela- marre, however, entertained a different opinion, and decided upon running her in a smaller stake instead of risking a defeat by Dol- lar, for whom this event now appeared a good thing, and as such was he backed at evens and 6 to 4, though the pot was very nearly upset by Alerte, and if the Confederacy had only pursued different tactics by sending Flibustier to make a pace for her, instead of starting her to serve the colt, we feel quite confident that Mons Lupin's crack would have been defeated. The Selling Stakes produced a remarkably pretty finish between Mai, Dame Blanche, and Fornarina, the flrst- mentioned pulling through, thanks to a fine piece of riding on the part of G. Pratt, by a short head. Ten were brought out for the Prix de Madrid, Jonathas and Loyal being the favourites, but both got bowled over by an outsider from the Duke de Moray's stable, Joliette, a Surplice filly out of Jessamine, who was purchased by the Duke de Moray of Mr T. Stevens in 1859, then in foal with Joliette, whose understandings during the early part of the year have apparently been all wrong. Jennings has, however, got her round lately, and, after winning a small stake at Blois, she has been kept until this victory, which of course has greatly pleased the Duke, for, being a flne, good- looking filly, she is certain to do a good thing or two before her career is finished. La Toucques completed her series of victories on the Continent by carrying off the Prix du Prince Imperial, and over this easy success a good deal of money changed hands, for, prior to going to Baden, odds varying from 15 to 1 to 6 to 1 were freely laid that she did not carry off the three events, though at last the layers looked upon their money as lost excepting for an acci- dent. ^ Curiously enough, one was nearly befalling her on the previous day, for, whilst being led out of the train at Paris she slipped on something, and nearly fell from the landing- board on to the rails, in which case she would very probably have broken a leg. Conquette had not the slightest difficulty in landing the odds that were laid on her for the Prix d'Automne, although she gave La Reine Berthe and Trouville 71b each. Next Sunday pro- mises to furnish the best day's sport of the meeting, for the card will comprise the Omnium, or French Cesarewitch, for which about fifteen are likely to start, and we hear that several distin- guished English jockeys are engaged to ride some of the favour- ites. A grand two year old stake will also be another attraction. SUNDAY, SEPT. 27.— PRIX PRINCIPAL of 4, OOOf, for three year olds and up wards that have never won a first or second- class Government prize; weight for age, with penalties and allow- ances, & c; two miles four furlongs; 6 subs. M Lupin's br c Dollar, by The Flying Dutchman, 3 yrs, 1061b Kitchener 1 Count de Lagrange's b f Alerte, 4 yrs, 1271b G. Mizen 2 Count de Lagrange's b c Flibustier, 3 yrs, 1061b C.

Alerte was first off, and made very steady running, with the favourite lying next, then Guillaume le Taciturne, and Flibustier brought up the rear, which order of running. was maintained until they passed the Stand for the second time, when Flibustier took se- cond place. After they had taken the tour of the Grand Course, and had come nearly into the straight, Kitchener took Dollar to the front, Mizen at the same time taking a pull on Alerte to let up her stable companion; but the latter being now in trouble, the old one was set going again for the race, and after a remark- ably well- ridden finish on the part of both jockeys, the favourite was only just landed the winner by a neck, Flibustier finishing a bad third; and Guillaume le Taciturne was a worse fourth. PEIX DE LA PEAIRIE of l, 500f, for three year olds and upwards; entrance 50f; weight for age; the winner to be claimed for 3, OOOf; two miles; 10 subs.

Solferino jumped off with the lead, followed by Dame Blanche, Bonne d'Enfant, Adonis, Blan- chette, and Nunuphar in the order named, and then came For- narina and Mai. Solferino only maintained the lead for about half a mile, when Dame Blanche carried on the running until coming to the last turn, where all drew up into a group, and Blanchette holding a slight lead into the straight, looked like winning at the distance, when she suddenly fell back beaten, and the lead was then again left to Dame Blanche, but Fornarina and Mai, who had both been waited with all the way, now joinng her, a fine race ensued between the three, Mai, however, having all the best of it, though Pratt waited on the others to the very last moment, when he just made one final effort, and secured the race by a head, half a length between second and third, and Blan- chette was close up fourth ; Paratonnerre was a bad fifth, Adonis sixth, Bolferino seventh, and Nunuphar last. The winner was not claimed. PRIX DE MADRID of 2, OOOf, for three year olds and upwards that have not run in England or at the reunions of Paris, Chantilly, or Versailles during the season, or won a handicap or a Prix Imperial worth 3, OOOf; entrance 59f; weight for age; two miles; 11 subs.

Barb d'Or, overpowering Forster, went away with a long lead, the others lying in a ruck well together, headed by Fille de l'Air, and then came Jonathas, Perle Fine, Eclair, and Joliette. M du Garreau's mare continued to increase her lead over the hill on the far side, but coming down into the dip opposite Baron Rothschild's chateau she compounded, and fell back to the others ; Jonathas, Eclair, and Loyal heading this division into the straight, when the latter pair were beaten, and Jonathas then carried on the running to the distance, where Joliette drew up, and having all the best of it in the run home, won cleverly by nearly a length ; La Diva finishing a bad third ; Loyal was fourth, Eclair fifth, Perle Fine sixth; and the last of all, beaten off a long way, was lie de France.

ACCIDENT AT ST PAUL'S STEAM- BOAT PIEB.— The large iron barge, or dummy, at St Paul's Pier was sunk on Monday morning under rather extraordinary circumstances. It appears that the tide on Sunday night ebbed out unusually low. The iron barge fell with the tide, and coming on new ground, worked one end of the structure among the surrounding piles in such a fashion that it did not lift with the rising tide. The other end of the barge arose with the tide, which, flowing over it, soon made a clean sweep of its decks, clearing away check and money- taking boxes • and ^ waiting- room. The barge itself filled and went down pretty nearly in its ordinary berth. The accident for a time entirely stopped all traffic al St Paul's Pier. The portion of the wreck whkb wES carried away lies on the mud bank at the Adelnhi, COURSING FIXTURES FOR 1863, OCTOBER. PLACE. COUNTY. JUDGE. MEETING. Ashdown Park Berks Mr A.

Master Haywood led Double Cure, pressed his hare to the white, drew out, and killed; a clever performance. Lord Clif- den, after a no- go, beat Master Paulyn out of my sight. Master Joe had the pace of Wiseman, but fell heavily; the latter led out of my sight. On re- appearing, Mr Jardine's dog had possession, and took his hare up a fine slope, knocking her about very meritoriously, and ultimately killed. Bar- bacan was too fast and clever for Scotland's Chief in a capital trial. John Knox ran very smart, and easily defeated Briton, killing his hare in grand style. Lord of the Isles, on the upper side of a hill face, slightly led Gold Horn and turned, and, after an exchange of points, picked up his hare. Master Robert and Gala were slipped to the hill; the former going up to his hare a cracker fetched her back; Gala made next point, when Lord Lurgan's pet shot out and killed with much fire. Sagit- tarius was drawn, under an arrangement, after two undecideds. Daylight got a cropper, shortly after being slipped, in rushy ground, and was counted out by Kilane, who ran very prettily, and pulled down a good hare. Cadazooro never gave Pretender the ghost of a chance. Cadaroono took a strong lead of Birchcleugh, wrenched twice and turned, when the black took possession and looked all over a winner, but a kill by Mr, Campbell's dog gave him the fiat; a near thing. Leamington, what little I saw of the course, had the best of Guide. Tullochgorum ran very smoothly, and never left his hare till he killed. Mr Campbell's " crack" Calabarona ran fast and killed his hare most brilliantly. Skedadaler showed conspicuously over his antagonist, and ran into his hare in good style. Snowflake had the assistance of a blue and white dog of Mr Frank John- stone's, who won a good trial very cleverly.— Caledonian Stakes : Brocade, after a no- go, led Balsamic on a fine bare slope, and turned; Mr Blansh* rd's bitch quickly made next point, when they cannoned ; the fawn leaping over her rival brought her hare round; Brocade killed; from my position a near thing. Reality, on the inside, showed from slips, but was beaten for first turn ; Reality then took possession, worked her hare beautifully, and cleverly defeated her opponent. Cheat'im ran both fast and clever, and. easily put out Gloamin'. Aurora, in a long slip, was too fast for Ivie, and scarcely allowed her to approach a racing hare, which she ultimately killed. Mr Gibson's bitch was amiss, and will see a better day. Dewymorn scored first turn; Lady Augusta after- wards worked well by close running and won her course, the white coming again at the finish, and making a splendid kill in the ferns. Amina led out of my view. Sixtj - two and Barmaid had a good struggle till the hare shifted herself to the hill, when Mr Borron's fine daughter of Beacon outstrode her antagonist, and raced up her hare. Bracket and Tales of the Border: A bad slip to a rattling hare, which led them a terrific dance, the most part out of my view, Lord Binning's bitch winning with a little to spare. Spunkie was too fast for Lady Amy, and won a capital trial very meritoriously. Two " cracks" were next slipped on a fine piece of ground to a small hare. Cauldshiels and Blush Rose: The former slightly led and turned. Blush Rose made next, when Mr Jardine's flyer quickly scored the two fol- lowing points, and Blush Rose the kill; a near thing. Border Witch, after an undecided, beat Bonny Jean in a long course most unraistakeably, distinguishing herself alike both in working and staying qualities. Dusk and Jenny's Bawbee: The latter was unsighted, but joined, and worked so closely for a succession of points before the black killed that I expected the decision in her favour. Clorardeena on in- side circle was a shade faster, and only just gained the fiat in a short trial into rushes, where the hare escaped. Grisette and Fast Young Lady had two no- goes. Spray, with a lead of a couple of lengths, cleverly defeated Lavinia. Silverrays ran fast, and well won a trial of good average length. Cliardona and Glow- worm: The former on the outs'de slightly led out of my view. The remaining two courses were of necessity postponed, owing to darkness coming on. THURSDAY.— We again met at Stenmuir, and coursed part of Blackhill and Netherton, commencing with the two courses left over from yesterday. Fast Young Lady and Grisette : The lat- ter having benefited by experience went in good form, command- ing a good hare very cleverly, and won with a trifle in hand. Lady Lisette showed from slips, but when Jeu d'Esprit got to her hare she handled it in masterly style, and won a capital trial.— Biggar Stakes ( first ties)— Marshal Forward and Johnny Barra. The latter, said to be amiss, was slightly led, and after " a good trial suffered defeat, but was not disgraced. Master Hay- wood, after an undecided, slightly led, swerved twice, when the fawn killed. Barbacan ran fast throughout a course of average length, never allowing his rival to score. John Knox took his hare up a hill face, and never left his course in doubt. Calermo and Master Robert had a no- go; on the second time of asking the white led, and in attempting next point was passed by Master Robert, and beaten in a trial of moderate length. Cadazooro and Kilane had a second slip, in which Cadazoore led a couple of lengths, put in the red, who quickly turned Mr Campbell's flyer, took possession, and ran into his hare. Cadaroono never gave Leamington a chance, and pulled down a good hare. Cala- barono, on the fourth time of asking, was unsighted, but took the hare from Tullochgorum,' wrenched her twice, and killed— an interesting course between two first- class gre3' hounds, their three undecideds being so very equal that Mr Warwick could not de- cide for superiority. Skedadaler raced up and killed.— Cale- donian Stakes ( first ties) : Balsamic, a shade faster, cleverly de- defeated Reality. Cheat'im led down hill at a great pace, turned, and fell a purler, but quickly recovered, re- took possession of her game, and won decisively. Amina had three undecideds with Lady Augusta, whose near fore foot was much lacerated, notwithstanding she ran each course very merry, and was only beaten through the superior pace of Mr R. Jardine's handsome bitch. Bracket led Barmaid, who made next point; Bracket quickly killed. Cauldshiels de- feated Spunkie in an unsatisfactory trial. Border Witch took first turn and the death in a short spin. Clorardeena got the de- cision, but I fancied was beaten by Mr Bateman's pet, who will see a better day. Silverra3' s ran fast in both her undecideds. Spray was drawn by arrangement. Cliardona beat Jeu d'Esprit at all points, and killed her hare in gallant style, which, closed the day's running. The Biggar and Caledonian Club have held occasional conjoint meetings for several years past, selecting as a trysting- place the well- known grounds of the former. This preliminary courtship, as we may call it, has resulted in a matrimonial alliance, which we confidently predict will prove a most prosperous one. In plain language, these two clubs finished their career with the Open Bpring Meeting in March last, and after a good deal of talk resolved to unite into one club, under the designation of the Scot- tish National. When we consider that there are enrolled amongst its members such spirited popular coursers as Lords Binning and Lurgan; Messrs Bateman, Borron, Campbell, Dunlop, Ewing, Gibson, Irving, James and Frank Johnstone, Jardine, Steele, and Thomson; and that Mr Blanshard undertakes the duties of hon secretary, it would be strange indeed if the most happy results did not follow upon such a union; indeed, we are certain that it will ultimately be one of the largest and most influential clubs in the three kingdoms, and will well sustain the fine repu- tation which auld Scotia has already acquired upon the coursing field. The draw took place at the Clydesdale Hotel, Lanark, and passed off most satisfactorily. The dinner was well attended. Mr'Gibson, the chairman, proposed, amongst other toasts, " The Health of the Earl of Howe," who, with the liberality so characteristic of him, gave the club permission to course over his splendid estates.

On WEDNESDAY we met at Btenmuir, and coursed the Black, hill, in the long grass of which several of the hares ran badly, and the sport on this favourite ground scarcely came up to its usual standard. The weather, with the exception of a few showers, was vei' 3* suitable at this early part of the season for coursing, and at half- past ten o'clock Marshal Forward and Con" fessor were slipped for the Biggar Stakes, but the latter did not join in the course, and was afterwards drawn. Johnny Barra and Speke had a scrambling run- up; the latter, while leading, fell on his - chest . and the fawn getting an . advantage wrenched We have been requested to mention that the Ashdown Picture is in a state to admit of a hope that it may be presented to Lord Craven at Christmas, or early next year. It is, therefore, parti- cularly desired that the names uf those who have not yet sub- scribed, but who intend to do so, may be forwarded to the trea- surer before the 1st of November next, in order that such names may be properly entered in the list of subscribers, which will be appended to the presentation letter, and which will have te be completed by that date. It will be very obliging also if any sub- scriptions which may have been promised may be collected and paid over to the treasurer. ASHDOWN PARK MEETING,— The opening meetingof the season will take place at Ashdown, commencing on the 5th of October. In addition to the Derby and Oaks Stakes, the Craven Cup, for all ages, of £ 5 each, and other stakes, will be made up after the first day's running. The Derby and Oaks will be drawn at the Red Lionlnn, Lambourne, at eight o'clock on Monday evening, Oct 5 All entries not paid at the time of drawing will be left undrawn. Coursing will commence on Tuesday morning, Oct 6, at ten a. m. The meet on the first day will be Park End. There is every pros- pect of the season in the South being successfully inaugurated. We are informed Beale has already arrived at Lambourne with a team of 14 of Lord Sefton's; and also C. Ridge, with 15 of Lord Grey de Wilton's. Kennels are also secured for the dogs of Messrs Bland, Randall, Long, Faulkner, Mercer, Dean, Trigg, Ellis, Scales, & c. Hares are very plentiful, and, with flne weather, some excellent sport may be anticipated. COUNTY LOUTH CLUB.— The first meeting for the season of this leading Irish club is fixed for Wednesday and Thursday next, Oct 7 and 8. For the Clermont Cup, which closed Aug 1 with 47 nominations, only three forfeits have been as yet declared. The County Louth All- aged Stakes is already full, and from the number of applications late for nominations, another Open 16- dog Stake will most likely fill before the draw, which takes place at the Queen's Arms Hotel, Dundalk, on Tuesday evening, Oct 6, when the members dine together, The first day's meet, by the kind permission of Lord Clermont, is fixed for Clermont Park, Harris- town Gate, at half- past nine o'clock. The old fixture at Woodton for second day at ten o'clock. Hares are very abundant at both places, and good sport may be expected. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT CREMORNE GARDENS.— On Tuesday, Sept 29, Mr E. T. Smith, the proprietor of Cremorne Gardens, applied to the Kensington bench of magistrates for the renewal of his theatrical license for his ball- room and ballettheatre. Mr Tubbs, the chairman, said he hoped Mr Smith would not have any more of those dangerous rope performances in Cremorne Gardens. He thought the taste of the pubiic for them was very absurd. Mr Smith assured the bench that he would not have them repeated. He then asked for the opinion of the bench with reference to any accident that might happen with balloons. He said balloons were HOW used by Government for scientific pur poses. The chairman declined to give any opinion, but another magistrate observed that there could not be any harm in allowing balloons to go up if Mr Smith could find persons to go in them. The license was then granted in the usual manner. A COOPER FINED £ 200 FOR KEEPING AN ILLICIT STILL AT HULL.— On Tuesday, Sept 29, a cooper, named George Harding, residing on the Hessle- road, was summoned before the stipendiary magistrate at the Hull police- court on a charge of keeping an illicit still. It appears that in the early part of September the Excise authorities received information of an illicit still being carried on at an unoccupied dwelling- house, No. 8, Osborne- street. The police were acquainted with the fact, and a visit was paid to the house. The place was securely fastened, and they had to break in the back way. They then discovered a complete appa- ratus for the manufacture of spirits, and also about 100 gallons of fermented wash. The still was seized, and inquiry made, when it was found that the house was tenanted by the defendant, and upon being told of the discovery which had been made, he ad- mitted that the illicit distillery was his. In defence, he now stated that he had been manufacturing the spirits merely as an experiment. The stipendiary considered the defence highly im- probable, and he fined the defendant £ 200 and costs— the tall penalty ordered by the act. INTELLIGENCE EXTRA.

In fact, so great has been the pressure for monetary aid that many of the brokers, having exhausted their resources, have been compelled to seek relief from the authorities at the Bank of England to- enable them to negotiate their customers' bills. The consequence of all this activity has been that not even the very best description of mercantile paper could be discounted under 4 per cent— the official minimum. At the national es- tablishment the transactions have been exceedingly numerous, the Gazette return, which is made up to Wednesday, showing an increase in the other securities amounting to nearly £ 3,000,000. Speculation lias been to some extent checked in many of the Foreign securities at the Stock Exchange, and a slight reaction in their values has been the consequence. This retrograde move- ment, however, should be attributed rather to the absorbing attention devoted to the settlement of the fortnightly account than to any other circumstance. The English Funds, on the other hand, have remained in a steady position, although the dealings have been very limited. Consols closed yesterday ( Fri- day) afternoon at 93j $ for money, and 93f § for the account. A rather active business has been transacted during the week in the Foreign Stock Market, and several of the favourite securities have undergone some slight variation. Mexican Stock has ad- vanced about Greek Bonds 1 to If, and the Coupons j. Spanish Passive Bonds and the Certificates have remained at steady rates, Turkish Consolides have advanded 1, the Loan of 1854 while the Loans of 1858 and 1862 have remained without material variation. The Confederate Cotton Loan has been rather flat, but upon the receipt of the American news to- day there has been a rise of about 4 per cent, the latest quotion being 24 22 discount. The dealings in the Railway Share Market during the week have not been very extensive, the dealers and shareholders having been occupied with the settlement; and prices, except in one or two instances, have not exhibited much change. North Eastern ( Berwick) have improved 5, Great Eastern and Midland 5, North Western and South Eastern and Metropolitan about 6 per cent. Lancashire and Yorkshire, however, have declined J, and Great Western and Brighton h. SATURDAY. The Funds remain steady, Consols being quoted 93J § for money, and 93| J for the account. In the Foreign Market the chief feature has been the fluctuation in the Confederate Loan, which has advanced to 24 22 discount. Greek Bonds have receded to 37| f, Spanish Passive to 33| f, and Turkish Consolides to 54j § . Railway shares are depressed, and in most instances are quoted about | per cent lower. Bank and Miscellaneous shares continue in fair request, and in several cases exhibit a further slight improvement a3 regards values. CROYDON FAIR, OCT 2.— This fair cammenced on Friday, the attendance of those interested in stock and sheep being very con- siderable. The stock field was very extensive; but with the ex- ception of milch cows, brought down by north country dealers, the cattle in general were of inferior character. Good dairying stock commanded good sale, and store beasts for the fatting stall were in good request ; but stale milch, barren cows, and outlying stock, met a dull inquiry. The horse show was large, and comprised a miscellaneous description of animals. Sound young cart horses, and neat going nags found buyers, and selections from the droves of Irish colts, brought remunerative figures. In the sheep pens there was an active trade, and about 20,000 sheep were hurdled up for sale. Sussex contributed some well bred Bouthdowns, for which full prices were obtained. The following were the selling average quotations :— Cattle : Well bred short- horn cows, in full milk, £ 18 to £ 22 ; Alderney and Dutch cows, £ 13 to £ 16; and small dairying cows, £ 10 to £ 12: cows down calving and in- calf heifers, £ 8 to £ 12 ; store beast— polled Scots £ 12 to £ 14, and Scotch runts £ 4 to £ 6; Welsh steers aad heifers, £ 8 to £ 9; Sussex beast, £ 11 to £ 13; and large oxen, broke to the yoke, £ 36 to £ 42 the pair; fat cows and heifers, £ 14 to £ 17; and inferior bred and lean cattle, £ 4 to £ 8. Horses: Powerful young cart horses, 35gs to 45gs, seasoned ditto, for agricultural purposes, 12gs to 18gs; sound nags, 20gs to 30gs, and promising Irish colts ( unbroke) 18gs to 24gs ; Welsh foresters, 5gs to 8gs; aged cart horses, used- up nags, and old screws were hawked about the fair without sale. The Sheep Pens : Young Southdown and half bred ewes sold 40s to 44s a head ; broken- mouthed ewes, 29s to 34s ; tegs, 29s to 33s ; four- tooth wethers, 40s to 43s ; and full- mouthed ditto,, i ™ full condition, 43s to 54s ; Hampshire store down wethers rL lambs, 40s to 50s ; Dorset ewes, 36s to 45s ; lambs, wethers, 27s ; and best quality lambs 33s, and ewe ditto 22s to 26s, and culls 16s to 18s per ditto. Tups: Well bred Southdown rams, 7gs to lOgs ; aged tups and long wool rams, 3gs to 5gs ; and tup lambs 2gsto4gs. The celebritythis annual fairhas acquired forits profuse supply of roast geeseand pork was fully sustained. There is a large pleasure fair, comprising theatrical, Olympian, and other enter- taining paraphernalia. The fair will terminate on Monday evening, Oct 5.
