The system of land credit, or credit Foncier, has now been established in many of the chief countries of Europe, with the uniform result of large proflt to the companies engaged in it, and great benefit to the holders of land. The principle of all these associations is the same, viz, the intervention of a company whose large subscribed capital, and conse- quent credit, enable it to borrow money to the best advantage, as an in- termediary between individual lenders who seek investments on mort- gage and borrowers who seek for loans. Thus the French Credit Fonder has a large share capital, of which only half is paid up, and is authorised by its statutes to iasue its own bonds against an equal amount lent on mortgage, with a sinking fund for redemption, on first- class landed security. The security to the bond- holder under these circumstances is ample, represented as it is by the whole unpaid- up capital of the company, and all its investments and assets while the profit to the shareholders, being the profit on the em- ployment of a large capital, distributed in dividend over a small paid- up capital is s ® great, that with £ 10 paid up the £ 20 shares of the French Credit Foncier stand at a market value of upwards of £ 50. The present company is formed, in the belief that, on the one hand, it will be very profitable to the shareholders, and, on the other, most bene- ficial to India. It is obvious that our Indian territories present an un- rivalled field for a company of this description. Land there is rising in value with a rapidity quite unexampled, and the fixing of tenures, the improvement of laws, and the ooening of communications, are fast creating an ease and certainity in dealing with it equal to those enjoyed in any country of Europe. At the same time capital is scarce, and the rate of interest extravagantly high, as compared with any European standard. ^ wherejn ttie grst instance, the operations of the company will be principally directed, land is held upon a Zemindary tenure, w hich may be described as conferring the fee simple of the land in perpetuity, held direct from the Crown, on the condition of paying a fixed annual quit rent, which is always moderate, In comparison with the value of the estates. An accurate and simple system of registration precludes doubt and dispute concerning the title to estates, and the first mortgage on the register takes precedence of all other claims. The principle of a perma- nent settlement has been adopted by the Government, and will doubt- less be shortly extended to the other provinces of India. The land Included in the Lower Bengal system is estimated at a value of more than one hundred millions sterling, and by the establishment of railways, the operation of irrigation works, and the general extension of Indian trade and industry, it will be doubled and trebled within a moderate number of years. Of these estates a very large proportion are at present under advances from local money- lenders, at a rate of 12 per cent, interest, besides incidental bonuses, and upon other conditions, that are alike unfavourable to their owners and to the community at large. With prudent management, the results of an Indian Credit Foncier can hardlv fall to be even more successful than In France, considering the wide margin between the rates of interest at which money can be borrowed in England and lent in India. The field for operations In India is practically unlimited, and in no country of the world are all the elements of national prosperity, in- cluding the value of land, In a state of such rapid development. The revenue of the State has risen in ten years from £ 28,500,000 to £ 45,125,000 a year: and the aggregate import and export trade during the same period has more than doubled, and last year reached the enormous total of £ 100,000,000, including bullion. During the same period £ 60,000,000 of English capital has been invested in railways in India, which are now approaching completion, and will greatly accelerate the march of prosperity. The benefit to India of obtaining capital on landed security on reason- able terms, and emancipating the native landed proprietors from an ex- clusive dependence on native money- lenders, will be incalculable; and this benefit will be specially felt at a time when the prosperity of the country, the completion of roads and railways, the sale of waste lands, the extension ot the permanent settlement, the introduction of an Im- proved currency, and, generally, the adoption of a wise and liberal sys- tem of Government, are giving everywhere a rapid impulse to improve- '" OBJECTS— The company will be prepared to grant loans on land, either for fixed periods or upon terms that will extinguish the debt, during the currency of the mortgage, by the payment of an annual in- stalment on account of the principal, in addition to the annual interest; thus conferring on the borrowers the benefit of an eventual liquidation of their debts. CAPITAL.— The present capital is fixed at £ 2,000,000 sterling, of which £ 2 per share is payable upon allotment. It is not the intention of the directors to call up more than a small proportion of the share capital in all. as the successful conduct of a business of this description Is chiefly through borrowed capital. BORROWING POWERS.— AS a means to make the advances on the ex- tended sale contemplated, the company will issue debentures for fixed periods, and bearing a fixed rate of interest, payable half- yearly in this country; aud in order to give the holders of such debentures undoubted security, they will have a lien on the entire property of the company, consisting flrst of the whole of the estates held on mortgage, and much exceeding in value the total of its liabilities; and, secondly, of the assets of the company, in which its paid- up capital is invested, together with its large reserve of uncalled capital. The transactions of the company will be conducted free from all speculation or purchase on their owh account, and may be regarded as partaking of the nature of a commis- sion agency between the European lender and the Indian borrower, opening to the latter a command of capital limited only to the value and security his estates afford. PROFITS.— The profits of a well- conducted business of this description, in such a field for operations as India, may be tested by a comparison witli the results realised by the French Credit Foncier and other similar undertakings both abroad and at home. The institution named is limited bv its statutes to lend at 5 per cent interest, and it has to pay more thaii 4 per cent interest on money raised on its debentures. The margin of proflt is, therefore, very small. Nevertheless, the French company pays a dividend of 16 per cent per annum, carrying a further sum equal to 7 per cent to reserve. In India the margin of profit be- tween the rate at which the money is borrowed and the rate at which It is lent, will certainly not be less than 3 per cent, BO that each £ 1,000,000 borrowed in England and loaned in India will give £ 30,000 a year to- wards dividend on the share capital, of which it Is not probable that more than £ 500,000 out of the £ 2,000,000 will be called up. MANAGEMENT IN INDIA.— Arrangements have been made with the above three leading firms to act as agents in India, so as to enable the company to commence business without unnecessary delay. 75,000 shares have been subscribed for privately, and the remaining 25,000 shares are reserved for public subscription. Copies of the memorandum and articles of association lie for inspec- tion at the office of the solicitors, Messrs Freshfields and Newman, 5, Bank- buildings, Lothbury. and at the temporary offices of the company.

Another battle, another indecisive success, another frightful and useless slaughter. Thedreadfuleventhasoccurred, asif with no other purpose than to make mankind at large feel a shock of horror, and Englishmen in particular shudder with shame and sorrow as they think of the acts of their descendants. In the old times of Euro- pean despotisms men butchered each other with hearty hostility, being thereto induced by the power of ambitious and selfish kings and the interested frauds and deceptions of equally selfish and even more arrogant priests, acting upon popular ignorance and credulity. It might have been hoped that such times had passed away, and that in countries where opinion was free to make itself heard these wholesale slaughters of men without jus- tifiable cause or object would become impossible things. With the means it might have been thought would arise the resolution to determine all controversies by appeals to Reason, not to the sword. It seems that such a hope is not to be gratified. Here are two sets of Republican States tearing each other to pieces with the same pertinacity and bitterness as if they were the slaves of two despots struggling for mastery. Cannot they be induced to listen to the suggestions of humanity and the counsels of good sense ? It seems that they cannot. There is, indeed, a statement put forth in some of the Continental papers, and apparently not en- tirely without foundation, that the French Emperor had signified his willingness to sssist the Southern States if they would cede Texas to him ; that the Southerners, so long and so loudly the assertors of " the Monroe doctrine," did not at all relish the con- dition, and did seek to bring about negociations with the Washington Government, but that finding their efforts in that way hopeless, they have in their need despatched an agent to Europe to ask for Bonapartean assistance upon the usual terms of valuable territorial payment. If there is truth in this rumour, nothing can be more disgraceful in a political point of view than the conduct of both divisions of the States. And though a Euro- pean Sovereign who should act on any such convention would soon have cause to repent of his bargain, and to deplore the con- fidence which would, at the first convenient moment, be treacherously betrayed, the disgrace of entering into such an agreement would not be the less for the States that had become parties to it. The condition to which this terrible civil war has reduced the Americans is, in all respects, lamentable. They seem to have lost all sense of moral dignity and all respect for legal right, and to have preserved only one of those qualities which win the respect of others— personal bravery. Of personal bravery they have shown the most wonderful examples. They scarcely ever meet in deadly combat, but the struggle continues for two days at the least; and it ceases at last, not because one party has gained a decisive advantage over the other, one which must necessarily lead to peace, but simply because human endurance has a limit, and the toil of fighting must for a time be suspended. It, is strength not courage that gives way. Those who have gained and those who have lost some advantages, for it never amounts to more, are equally obliged to seek repose. It is impossible to form any satisfactory opinion as to the merits or demerits of the commanders in the late sanguinary contest. On the one hand it is said that Rosencranz was advancing to take pos- session of a central point in a network of railroads, which, if he could win it, would give him very material and important advan- tages, and that to prevent him from obtaining them it was worth while for the Confederates to make gigantic efforts at resistance. But if so, how comes it that, on the other hand, we are assured ( see Daily JSews of Monday last) that his force little exceeded 40,000 men, while that of Bragg was raised to 90,000. Surely, if the object of Rosencranz was so important, he should not have attempted to obtain it without having at his command reason- able means to ensure success. He might be certain that the Confederates and he entertained the same opinion about the value of the point to be won, and, if so, that they would make gigantic efforts to defeat his schemes. Why did he make the at- tempt with even the possibility, not to say the probability, of being outnumbered two to one. The matter was not one of a race of speed but of a contest of strength. He knew this, his advance was expected to be resisted, and the resistance was expected to be fierce, he must, therefore, have been prepared for fighting. He ob- tained one important point without a contest— was he so foolish as not to know that an enemy often surrenders a good outpost without a struggle, because, though it is good as an outpost, it is not worth a contest which might endanger the means of a great success in another and more important position ? We cannot be- lieve that he was so foolish, and we therefore desire to discredit the alleged great, disparity of numbers which is now given out by his partisans as the sole cause of his defeat. It looks as if he was out- generalled, and the hard fighting of Thomas's division alone seems to have saved the Federal army from destruction. The tale of the battle is told : the real history of it, of its causes and its effects, is as yet unknown. We know that the Federal army was attacked on the left flank and on the right flank at the same time ( a very hazardous operation, unless with almost over- whelming numbers on the part of the assailant), that to strengthen its left its centre was most weakened, and that then the centre was attacked and driven in. This seems to be the summary of the terrible conflict. If true, it implies ( to say nothing of skill and management) an enormous superiority of numbers on the part of the Confederates. Whence did they obtain these superior numbers and how could a general who was advancing with the purpose of becoming the assailant pretend to do so without having adequate means of attack, and without knowing anything of the forces that could at a given moment be concentrated to resist him ? The whole progress of the war in America has been nothing but a series of enigmas. The only things certain about it have been the enduring courage of the soldiers on both sides, and the ter- rible losses which both have sustained. PEACE OR WAR. " Straws will show which way the wind blows" is an old pro- verb that has had many exemplificatiens. But they may not only show the way of the wind, but its nature and force; and the straws of political life are, not less than the straws of natural life, demonstrative for such a purpose. The little affair at Biarritz is one of those political straws, and like its original in nature it has shown not only the direction but the force of the currents. The Emperor of the French betook himself to Biarritz to get out of the way of politics, and especially of Polish politics. " In the meantime," as the verses in Punch told the world, the terrible sacrifices of Poland were going on, but European decision on its fate was to await imperial relaxation. It was the same in England with Ministerial relaxation. The same pleasant abstinence from the necessity of doing anything, the same polite inclination to give the Czar the benefit of delay, was observable on both sides of the Channel. Here it has answered all its intended purposes; there it has not been so entirely successful. Small and even con- temptible people may frustrate the well- laid schemes of the greatest personages. The quiet of Biarritz has been broken by a vulgar female, whose rank in society may possibly entitle her to claim to be called a lady, but whose conduct plainly proves her to have no real right to that designation. What has happened there may show the course and the force of the wind that will blow comfort or destruction to Poland. A French lady had returned t » France from Poland, and was eloquent on the subject of the sufferings of the Poles. A Russian female, moving in high Society, with the spirit of Russian Imperialism strsng in her, met this French lady and struck her in the face with a parasol. This act of petty spite showed the spirit which only wanted the assurance of safety for its perpetrator, to develop itself in murder. Under Russian sway the instrument would have been a dagger instead of a parasol, if, indeed, the house where the French lady lived, with all the inmates, and all its various tenants, however unconnected with her, had not been also immolated as victims to atone for her offence. The doings at the Zamoyski palace in Warsaw would have been readily repeated at Biarritz. That, however, could not be. In- deed the parasol violence at once met with its punishment. The French Empress immediately struck this highly- born Russian virago off her visiting list. This was just. But unfortunately the Empress also struck off several of the virago's acquaintances. Without proof of actual complicity established against them this was unjust; and it is a subject for regret that what was perfectly right should have been thus adulterated with an admixture of wrong. It happened that there was at Biarritz a Polish lady ( who was a Russian subject) who was not struck off the Imperial visiting list. Russian bitterness wanted a victim. The punish- ment on her was immediate, and bore the usual impress of Rus- sian barbarity. A person presented her with a note. She opened it, and, being filled with detonating and inflammable materials, it. ignited and burnt her face and hair very badly. Here was the second act of insolent violence, showing the savageness of Russian habits, and, of course, incensing the French, whose laws, habits, and country were thus outraged. The offenders proclaimed themselves and their object, for the note was full of threats, as well as of abuse, applicable alike to the Poles and to their French friends. The Imperial visit to Biarritz is at an end. How far the disgrace- ful incidents we have narrated tended to shorten its duration is not known, but may be matter for not unfounded speculation. How these incidents may influence political conduct is also a curious question. The cup of tea wilfully spilt upon Mrs Masham's gown changed the whole foreign policy of Queen Anne ; the outrageous affront on Imperial authority given by the explosive note and its threats may afford a point to political ten- dencies, already strong enough to make the continuance of peace doubtful. And thus a wanton mischief done on a private indi- vidual may lead to the deliverance of an oppressed nation, and the just punishment of its savage oppressors. Peace is also endangered elsewhere. Certain perverse people in Germany are doing what they can to produce a war. They threaten what in their jargon they call " Federal execution" upon Denmark, which means a combination of the States of Germany to invade Denmark, with a view of reducing Schleswig andHolstein fromthecondition of comparatively free states to the reality of servi- tude, such as exists in almost all the small States of the Germanic Confederation. As tliis.' cannotbe done without dismembering Den- mark, that gallant little kingdom threatens resistance to the last, and Sweden has promised to aid it. And in all probability France will do so too, theugh within these two days there are rumours to a contrary effect. England can hardly keep out of such a quarrel, and if it should take part therein must do so against the German invaders. Earl Russell has interfered here with a proposition in- tended to stop this absurd, mischievous, and insolent scheme of invasion, but the delegates of the Sovereigns assembled at Frank- fort have not as yet condescended to notice his communication. Will they rush into a danger so terrible to them as a European war brought on for such a cause, merely to gratify that love of domination which tries to hide its real deformity under the dis- guise of " German unity " and " German brotherhood." If they will they must; and perhaps our consolation will be that " evil oft produces good." For should they bring the desolation of war upon Denmark and Germany for such a cause, it may end in the absorption by greater powers of some of those little sovereignties which now disfigure Germany, and in the creation of a really con- stitutional Government in Prussia. In such a case the people can hardly fail to take proper advantage of the King's necessities, and to force from him, as our ancestors always did from a troublesome Sovereign, concession to freedom as the price for contributions to his wants. THE MEXICAN CROWN. The Archduke Maximilian has given an answer to the deputies who, under French direction, have tendered him the Mexica11 Crown. He accepts it with so many reservations that it is no acceptance at all. One of the deputies discovered that it was " the finger of Providence" which had designated the archduke fo sovereign. His imperial highness appears to have too much sense to be taken with such blasphemous trash. He quietly adopts " the view of the Emperor Napoleon, that the monarchy cannot be es tablished on a legitimate and firm basis without a spontaneous expression of the wishes of the whole nation." This is, in fact, negativing the scheme for the present. Then, again, he requires " guaranties," the nature of which he does not specify, except that he says they " are indispensable to secure Mexico against the dangers which threaten her integrity and independence. Is this a back- handed thrust at the French domination ? It looks like it. And perhaps the archduke knows that there is no sincere wish in the Tuileries that he should be the sovereign of Mexico. Even getting the national vote and these undefined '' guaranties" will not quite satisfy him— he then accepts, but how? " Subject to the approval of the Emperor my brother." An imperial crown is a glittering thing, but the archduke does not seem blinded by its glitter. Never was such a tender of a brilliant- looking gift so calmly received and the acceptance of it so quietly evaded. THE COUBT.— The Prince and Princess of Wales arrived at Marl- borough House on Saturday night, Oct 3, where they were joined on Monday by the brother of her royal highness, the new King of the Greeks, who during his stay in London will make Marl- borough House his residence. THE KING OF THE GREEKS.— His Majesty George I., King o the Greeks, accompanied by Count Sponneck, arrived at Brussels on Saturday, the 3d inst. His Majesty's suite were awaiting his arrival at the Northern Railway station, having preceded him. The Count of Flanders and the Duke of Brabant paid an early visit to the young King. King George left on Sunday at eight a. m., and arrived at three p. m. at Dover by the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company's new steamer the Samphire. His Majesty arrived at the Victoria station punctually at six o'clock, the special train performing the journey in two hours and ten minutes. On arrival at the Victoria station His Majesty was met by his brother- in- law, his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and was received by Lord Harris, the deputy- chairman, and Mr Forbes, the general manager of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, and proceeded direct to Marlborough House. LORD LYNDHURST.— We are sorry to state that this venerable nobleman is fast sinking from sheer weakness. He has been ailing for some time, and his medical attendants give no hope of his recovery. DEATH OF LADY SOPHIA GIUBILEI.— This lady, daughter of the first Marquis of Bristol, died a few days since, after a long and painful illness. The deceased lady was twice married; first to Mr William Howe Wyndham ( who died in 1854), and secondly to Signor Giubilei. She was the mother of Mr Wyndham, of Felbrigg Hall. DEATH OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN.— We have to record the death of Dr Wliateley, Archbishop of Dublin, which took place on Thursday Oct 8. He was in his 77tli year. He had long been suffering from an ulcer in his leg. DEATH OF MR SHEEPSHANKS.— The accomplished owner of the famous collection of pictures, known as the Sheepshanks' Gallery, which he presented to the nation in his lifetime, died at liis residence, Rutland- gate, on Monday, Oct 5. Mr Sheepshanks, born in 1787, was the son of a wealthy cloth manufacturer at Leeds, and succeeded his father in the business. Mr J. Sheep- shanks has for a long time been known as a collector of choice pictures, but has led a quiet and unobtrusive life, liberal to artists and happy in their society— though unknown to the general world up to the act of patriotic munificence which entitled him to a nation's gratitude. DEATH OF MRS TROLLOPE — We have to record the death of Mrs Trollope, the celebrated authoress, which took place at Florence last week. Mrs Trollope was born in 1779, and was con- sequently in her 84th year. She had for some years ceased to exercise her pen, but her fame is worthily sustained by her two sons, who rank among the favourite authors of the day. COVENTRY ELECTION.— On Thursday Mr Treherne, the Con- servative candidate, was elected for Coventry. The numbers at the close of the poll were Treherne, 2,263; Peel, 2,129. NEW ALDERMAN.— At a meeting of the citizens of Aldgate Ward, on Thursday, Mr Andrew Lusk. late Sheriff of London, was unanimously elected alderman of the ward, in the room of the late Mr Alderman Humphery. THE EARTHQUAKE.— About three o'clock on Tuesday morning, Oct 6, half England was frightened out of its senses by the occur- rence of a smart shock of an earthquake, which shook the houses, the beds, and the furniture of the slumbering inhabitants in a very severe manner, and caused the greatest consternation. The first mention of it was in the second editions of Tuesday's papers, where it was stated that it had been felt at Hereford. Wednesday, however, brought accounts from all quarters of the phenomenon having been experienced about the same hour, viz, 3: 20 a. m. From Blackheath, Twickenham, Slough, Birmingham, Chelten- ham, Exeter, Swansea, Taunton, Worcester, Staffordshire, & c, the accounts were very similar. The first shock lasted, probably, scarcely a minute, and had hardly subsided when a second, distinct shock was heard, the second being, if anything, rather more severe than the first. To persons in bed the general sensation appeared to be that the whole house was being shaken from its foundation, with a tremulous, rapid, and undulatory motion, proceeding, apparently, from north to south, and accompanied by a sound resembling the passing of a very heavy vehicle at a lapid pace. Simultaneously with this noise there. was a vibration of water jugs, washhand basins, glasses, window panes, chairs standing against walls, and the like. In some cases, after the shocks had passed away, cracking and creaking noises were heard at inter- vals, as if the whole house had been strained and shaken and the timber work and masonry were making what builders would call a " setting." We have heard no account of serious injury. HEALTH OF LONDON.— The deaths in the week ending Oct 4 were 1,274, being 115 over the average. Smallpox was fatal in 22 cases, scarlatina 154, phthisis 160, & c, & c. The births were 1,037 boys and 898 girls— in all 1,935. In the thirteen weeks that ended the 26th of September 17,105 deaths were registered in London. Of that number 9,821, or considerably more than half, eccurred to persons under 20 years of age. The number of per- sons who died at 80 years of age and upwards was only 449. The diarrhoea that prevails in summer, scarlatina, and smallpox have been very fatal; and as regards the two former diseases, the sufferers in a great proportion of cases were children. In the healthy summer ( July, August, September) of 1860, the deaths were less than 13,000; and in the summer of 1859 the deaths were 16,000. They were 17,105, as has been stated, in the same three months of the present year, the mean temperature of which was 59 2 deg. The excess of last quarter over the same period of 1859 is about 1,100, and is due to a certain extent to increase of popula- tion. Smallpox was fatal in the quarter in 512 cases, of which 160 occurred at 20 years of age and upwards. This malady has been unusually prevalent. But the deaths from scarlatina were far more numerous; they rose to 1,519; and those from diarrha. a and summer cholera were 1,938. CAPTURE OF THE CONFEDERATE STEAMER JUNO.— This famous blockade breaker has at last fallen into the meshes of the Federal blockade. She was captured on the 22d of September, off Wilmington, North Carolina, after a chase of four hours, during which the United States cruiser Connecticut fired thirty rounds of shell and solid shot. The Juno threw overboard part of her cargo of cotton. She is an iron vessel of upwards of 1,130 tons burden, side wheel, built at Bristol, in this country, and is about ten years old. Her engines are oscillating, and are about 400- horse power. The cargo consists of 200 bales of cotton, three tons of tobacco, and a quantity of turpentine, and is valued, together with the vesel, at 100,000dols. The Juno, at the time of her cap- ture, was bound to Bermuda, FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. La Presse says :—" The three powers are agreed with regard to addressing a circular to their diplomatic agents abroad, proclaim- ing that Russia's forfeiture of Poland is an irrevocably accepted fact. France and Austria are said to have also agreed to proclaim, the complete abrogation of the treaties of 1815, whilst England, it is said, wishes to maintain a few of the articles." La France says :—" The English Cabinet has taken no resolution tending to convert Earl Russell's words into diplomatic action." The Em- peror has returned from Biarritz. ITALY. The Pontifical police have seized a secret printing office, ia which the journal Roma o Morte was printed. The Pontifical Government is indignant at the order of the day published by General de Montebello, and with his instructions for it to be read to the whole of the French army of occupation. A Pontifical gendarme fired upon an Italian soldier, and the Minister Merode refused to deliver him up to General de Montebello. But the indignation of General de Montebello was excited by the tricky conduct of Mgr de Merode. The latter flrst gave the gendarme money as a reward for what he had done, and then granted him a furlough dated anterior to the affair at Ceprano, so that when General de Montebello demanded the gendarme, Mgr de Merode replied that this gendarme no longer belonged to the corps, that he had left, and that if General de Montebello wished to have him in his hands he could order a search to be made for him. In his order of the day General de Montebello censured this con- duct as disgraceful, and it is asserted that he pretends to have exclusively the keeping of the frontier. The Pope will probably request the recall of the general to France, more particularly as his holiness is much disturbed on account of his having forbidden his officers and soldiers presenting themselves before the Pop' without his ( the general's) special permission. But wherefore thi&. prohibition? It is said that it was issued since the occasion when' the Pope, receiving a French colonel, spoke in ridicule of General de Moutebello. AUSTRIA. The Lower House of the Austrian Reichsrath has determined on awaiting the arrival of the Transylvanian deputies before con- sidering the budget for 1864. PRUSSIA. The Russian ambassador in Berlin has notified to Russian sub- jects of Polish extraction from the western provinces at present residing abroad, that on the expiration of their passports they must return to Russia without delay. All persons not complying with this order are threatened with the confiscation of their property. THE IONIAN ISLANDS. The Ionian Parliament has accepted the proposed annexation with Greece, and expressed its thanks to England for this pro- position. POLAND. Budzellowicz has been shot at Wilna, Five fresh executions have taken place in Warsaw. An ordinance, issued by Lowchine, director of the Warsaw police, orders all house proprietors to make domicilary visits every day to the apartments of their lodgers, and states that the proprietors will be answerable to the military tribunals for all arms found in their houses. An order of the day of the revolutionary Town Captain of Warsaw, an- nounces that the attempt upon the life of General Berg took place by order of the National Government. This measure was adopted with the view of compelling General Berg to declare his policy of extermination, which he would otherwise have carried out gradu- ally and imperceptibly. Taczanowski has been brought before a court- martial by order of the National Government, in order that the circumstance of his late defeat may be investigated. The whole of the property in the Zamoyski Palace, to whomever be- longing has been destroyed, and many persons residing in it killed, because from one of its many hundred windows an attempt was made to kill the Russian General Berg. The palace was in- habited by scores of people of all ranks, as is customary in such, very large buildings abroad; it contained many shops and many private lodgings. All the inmates have been made to suffer alike. The Warsaw correspondent of the Breslau Zeitung writes as fol- lows :—" I have taken the pains to inquire into the truth of certain reports published by the Kreuz Zeitung and other papers, of the discovery of gunpowder, underground passages, secret presses, & c, in the Zamoyski palace. I can assure you, from official Russian sources, that there is not a word of truth in them. It is equally untrue that more than one bomb was thrown. The descriptions of this affair are exaggerated as the official reports of battles." The Patrie says: " We have reason to believe that Prince Czar- torisky is taking formal steps in the name of the National Polish Government to obtain from the Cabinets of London and Paris the recognition of Poland as a belligerent nation." The Cossacks have killed, on the high road, the Councillor of Justice Blodowski and the proprietor Dangel. Fresh detachments of insurgents have appeared in the vicinity of Kalisch. MUSICAND DRAMA. ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA.— The eighth and last campaign of the English opera, under the management of Miss Louisa Pyne and Mr VV. Harrison, commences on Monday, Oct 12, when Mr Wallace's new opera, entitled " The Desert Flower," will be per- formed for the first time. The cast embraces the names of Miss Louisa Pyne, Miss Susan Pyne, Mr Weiss, Mr H. Corri, and Mr W. Harrison. DRURY- LANE THEATRE.— Lord Byron's dramatic poem of " Manfred'' is to be produced here Saturday, Oct 10. Old play- goers will remember its production at Covent- garden Theatre many years since, when that theatre was under the lesseeship of Mr Alfred Bunn, and when Mr Denvil, an actor of great promise, personated the hero with such striking effect. LYCEUM THEATRE.— Mr Fechter has summoned the members of his company to a meeting on the stage preparatory to the open- ing of the theatre on the 24th inst., upon which occasion a new drama will be produced. ROYALTY THEATRE.— It is pleasant to be able to record the continued success of the new burlesque. Judging, indeed, from the crowded state of the little house, " Ixion" will have to turn liis wheel for many nights to come. Those who have seen it once seem bent on visiting the theatre again, and yet again, so piquantly and elegantly played are the several scenes and tableaux. ADELPHI THEATRE.— The new drama of " Leah " is attracting the town in all directions, and on Wednesday night the theatre was honoured by the presence of His Majesty the King of the Greeks and their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, who appeared to take the greatest interest in the progress of the play. CRYSTAL PALACE.— The novel experiment of day excursion boats and trains from Franca to the Crystal Palace will be put into operation on Monday next for the flrst time, the South- Eastern Railway Company running steamers from Boulogne to Folkestone, the Chatham and Dover Company from Calais to Dover, with special trains, awaiting the arrival of the boats, direct to the Crystal Palace, returning the same evening. Considerable preparations are being made at the Crystal Palace to render the day attractive. The great fountains will be displayed, Blondin will give a special low rope performance, Professor Pepper's Ghosts will be repeatedly shown, the band of the Coldstream Guards and French Municipal band, and other special attractions will extend the amusements throughout the day. The French excursionists will return about six o'clock, but, as a large number will doubtless be attracted to the Palace, it will be lighted up in the evening to allow of leisurely departure. The great autumn poultry show will be held in the following week. It will com- prise the largest number of pens of poultry, pigeons, rabbits, pheasants, & c, yet exhibited at the Crystal Palace. AFLOAT ON A PLANK IN THE MERSEY.— On Monday night, at twenty minutes past nine o'clock, a cry was raised on board the Lord Morpeth, Woodside ferry boat, that a man was overboard. The vessel was stopped, and a life buoy thrown to a man who was afloat on a plank. He was taken on board the steamer, and at the landing stage Captain Lee, of the Lord Morpeth, handed him over to the police, by whom he was taken care of for the night. The man gave the name of John Butler, and stated that he was an ablebodied seaman on board the American ship Constantine, which arrived in the Mersey from New York on Monday, and was anchored in the Sloyne. He learnt that the ship could not dock at present, and was going to discharge in the river, where- upon, " as he was determined he would not work, because he never had worked, at least at carrying bags of grain," he threw a plank overboard, from the forecastle, jumped overboard, swam to it, and there remained wet through and shivering until he was picked up. In his psssession was found £ 6 in English and American mcney. He desired repeatedly to know why he had been given into custody, as he had, under similar circumstances, jumped overboard from the Dreadnought and other ships in the Mersey, and " there had never been any row about that." Butler stated that his articles bound him to remain by the ship until she was docked; but time was money to him, and he could not wait some days in the river for nothing. THE NEW FISHERIES BILL— PUBLIC MEETING IN LIMERICK. — On Saturday, Oct 3, a public meeting of those interested in the operations of the new Fishery Bill, passed the last session, was held in the City Court- house, pursuant to requisition, and pre- sided over by the Right Worshipful the Mayor, for the purpose of urging upon the commissioners the necessity of taking immediate steps to put the Drovisions of the statute into practical effect, the season being far advanced, and nothing yet done to prevent the wholesale destruction of salmon passing to the spawning beds of the Upper Shannon. In the vicinity of the bench we observed Thomas Boyse, Esq, High Sheriff of the City: Sir Richard De Burgho, Bart; Aldermen Quinlivan and M'Donnell, John Thomas M'Sheehy, J. P.; James Spaight, J. P, ; Henry Maunsell, J. P.; Eyre Lloyd, J. P.; Robert Rodger, J. P.; Eugene O'Callaghan, J. P.; Daniel Cullen, Francis P. Russell, William Lysaght, J. P.; Paul R. Creagh, & c.— Sir Richard De Burgho proposed that the Right Worshipful the Mayor should take the chair, which was se- conded, and carried unanimously.— Sir Richard De Burgho, Bart, proposed the first resolution, which was as follows :—" That as the new Fishery Act makes it imperative upon the special com- missioners to inquire into the legality of all fixed nets, and, if satisfied of their illegality to remove them, it is necessary for the proprietors and persons interested in the salmon fisheries of the Upper Shannon to be properly represented before such special commission." Sir Richard concluded amidst applause.— Clanchy ( fisherman) : I object to have anything to say about the Upper Shannon ; let the proprietors mind themselves. — Chairman: You must not interrupt Sir Richard.— Sir Richard: Well, perhaps it is as good to leave out the words Upper Shannon, and I will expunge them [ hear].— Eyre Lloyd, Esq, then seconded the adoption of the resolution, which was put by the chairman and carried.— The City High Sheriff said he had great pleasure in proposing the next resolution, viz :—" That as the River Shannon, from its interest, and from the number of fixed engines in its tide- way, is manifestly entitled to first and immediate attention, the special commissioners should be called upon to hold their first inquiry in the Limerick district."— Mr Daniel Cullen seconded the resolution.— The resolution was passed.— John Thomas M'Slieehy, Esq, J. P., proposed, " That an association should be formed, " to be called ' The Shannon Fishing Association,' having for its objects the enforcement of the provisions of the new Fishery Act."— Michael Robert Ryan, Esq, J. P., having seconded the reso- lution, it was carried.— Thomas M'Mahon Cregan, Esq, P. T ^ proposed a vote of thanks to Mr M'Mahon, M. P., which was p 3 with acclamation.— A committee was then appointed to funds to employ counsel, and to procure evidence to enablr. commissioners to clear the river of all nets and other obstructions which may be established to be in contravention of the present law. The mayor was then moved from the chair, and Bir Robert De Burgho called thereto. A vote of thanks having been passed to the mayor, he returnedthanks, and the proceedings terminated. PEOPLE'S DINING HALLS.— Three public dining halls, more or less conducted on the Glasgow plan, are now in operation at Bristol. One is situate in Temple- street, in the heart of the manufactories of the city, and has proved a great success. The second occupies the premises formerly known as the Canterbury Hall, Maryleport- street, and, under the management of Mr Yickers, lately of the Great Western Cotton works, has been con- verted from a place of dubious entertainment at night into a cheerful dining hall by day, and is patronised by all classes. The third is an experiment being made by the lessee of the refresh- ment rooms of the Bristol Athemeum, who has engaged the lec- ture hall of that institution, and offers the middle classes the at- traction of a good dinner at the moderate figure of one shilling. This establishment commenced its operations on Monday, when, in spite of the drawbacks consequent on embarking in a compa- ratively new business, there was a very large attendance of diners, and Mr Boult has every reason to be satisfied with the result. The Temple and Canterbury Hall dining Rooms are now established institutions THE ASSAULT BY AN ATTORNEY.— On Tuesday Thomas Joseph George, a Jew attorney, of 1, James- street, Adelphi, was to have been tried for indecently assaulting a young woman, named Amelia Horton, who went to his office to consult him on business. On the case being called on, however, Mr Sleigh, who was em- ployed by the association for enforcing the laws for the protection of women, stated that the prosecutrix had disappeared, and that as some persons had offered her £ 80 not to appear, it was believed she had been tampered with by the prisoner or his friends. He therefore wished the case postponed.— On Wednesday morning George put in an affidavit., declaring he had not, either himself or through an agent, offered money to the girl or her sister.— Mr Sleigh then applied that the case should be postponed till next sessions, and also requested a warrant for the apprehension of the prosecutrix to compel her to attend.— The Assistant- Judge said he thought it would be better not then to make an order for the warrant to be issued/ but to let the matter stand over until the next sessions, and if the prosecutrix was not then present circumstances might- perhaps arise to justify them in reading her depositions. 122 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, OCTOBER 10, 1863. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE LAST OF RODNEY'S CHEW.— Since the decease of the late Mr John Webb, one of Admiral Rodney's gallant crew, who ex- fiired on the 26th ult, another— and the last— of the veterans who ought under the above- named admiral upon the memorable 12th of April, 1782, has ceased to be, in the person of one James Mayoss, who for many years past had lived in an obscure court in the King's- road, Camden Town. He entered the Plymouth Marines when 16 years of age, was drafted into the 74- gun ship Alcide, and in the year 1780 proceeded, under Admiral Drury, to New York, to relieve General Cornwallis, who was at that time a pri- soner under Washington, In company with the squadron was the ship Chatham, of 50 guns, having on board Prince William Henry, afterwards King William IV. Failing in this expedition, the fleet returned to the West Indies, for the relief of St Kitt's, and on the 8th of April sailed for Martinique, where they were informed that the French were provided with 300 line of trans- ports, with a view to take Jamaica. On the 12th of April he was on board the Barfleur, commanded by Hood, and was engaged in the memorable naval action of that day, in 1782, between the English and French fleets, commanded respectively by Admiral Bodney and Count de Orasse, upon which occasion the count sur- rendered his sword into the hands of the British admiral. Mayoss, in the same year, was bought out of the Marines, and enlisted in the 77th Regiment of the line, proceeded to the East Indies, was at the capitulation and storming of Seringapatam, on the last oc- casion forming one of the " forlorn hope." After serving his time in the 77th Regiment he enlisted in the 66th Foot, was at the siege and bombardment of ihe Isles of Bourbon and Mauritius in 1810, and on proceeding to Ceylon, was at the reduction of Co- lombo. He enjoyed a pension of 2s 2d per day up to the time of his death. DEATH OF ADMIRAL EDWARD BARNARD.— We have to record the death of Admiral Edward Barnard, which occurred at Hips- well Lodge, Richmond, Yorkshire, on the 5th inst. The gallant deceased, who had attained the advanced age of 82 years, entered the navy as an able- seaman on board the Sirius, 36, in . May, 1797. and in October, 1798, assisted in capturing two Dutch frigates off the Texel. In January-, 1801, he assisted in taking the Dedaig- neuse, 36, French frigate, off Cape Finisterre; and in May, 1805, joined the Achille, 74, as acting lieutenant. In the Achille, he was employed in Lord Collingwood's blockading squadron before Cadiz, participated in the battle of Trafalgar, and afterwards took possession of the Berwick, 74, in which he remained until wrecked in the six days' gale that ensued. He afterwards saw a good deal of service, and became rear- admiral, July 8, 1851; vice- admiral, Aug 22, 1857 ; and admiral, Nov 22, 1862. DEATH OF SIR W. BELLAIRS, KNIGHT.— We have to record the demise of Sir William Bellairs, which took place on Friday, Oct 2. He was son of Mr Abel Walford Bellairs, of Uffington. Lincolnshire, and was born in 1793. From 1811 to 1819 he served in the 15th Hussars, with which gallant cavalry regiment he served during the campaigns of 1813 and 1814 in the Peninsula, and was present at the battle of Vittoria, the Pyrenees, Pampe- luna, Orthes, Tarbes, and Toulouse. He also served in the cam- paign of 1815, and had a horse killed under him in the retreat from Quartre Bras, and two wounded at the battle of Waterloo. In 1837 he was appointed exon of the Yeoman of the Guard, which he held up to 1849. ANGLING. AUTUMNAL FISHING, The western sun withdraws the shorten'd day; And humid evening gilding o'er the sky, In her chill progress, to the ground condensed The vapours throws. Where creeping waters ooze, Where marshes stagnate, and where rivers wind, Cluster the rolling fogs, and swim along The dusky mantled lawn ****** But lengthened night elapsed, the morning shines Serene, in all her dewy beauty bright, Unfolding fair the grey autumnal day." We have now reached the mid autumnal month, and in our climate generally one of the finest and most lovely during the whole year. As yet the sun is sufficiently powerful to overcome the rising fogs, save during even tide, where Rivers wind, But Cluster the rolling fogs." • Morning shines BALLINASLOE FAIR.— Ballinasloe Fair, whatever the cause may be, does not retain the importance which was once attached to it, as the great agricultural index of the nation's prosperity. For a number of years the sheep, cattle, and horses sent to it nave been steadily diminishing. For this several causes have been assigned ; but the main cause seems to be the opening of other markets, and the facilities afforded for sending live stock by the railways. If there is less stock in the country of course there must be a falling off in the supply of all the markets, and that there is less there is now no room to doubt. Bad seasons, emigration, and insecurity of tenure account, in a great measure, for the deficient supplies of agricultural produce. Drainage, domestic manufactures, and leases are now strongly urged by practical men as furnishing the best means of meeting the difficulties of the country. The sheep fair at Ballinasloe lasts two days ; but most of the heavy transac- tions take place on the first day, the sales on which determine the character of the lair. The number of sheep sold on the first day was announced as 39,328. The number sold on the first day last year was 42,620, and in 1861 it was 54,782, In the twe days the total number sold this year was 65,478, being 6,000 less than last year. This shows a difference of io, 000 in three years. A similar diminution is observable in the quantity of sheep in the country, which the returns of the Registrar- General show to be 3,556,050 for 1861, 3,456,132 for 1S62, and for the present year, 3,303,931. It was what was called " changing fair'' in the morning, little business having been done till nine, though the sellers and buyers were very early on the field. The flockmasters were then obliged to come down consi- derably in their demands, after which the sales proceeded briskly at a reduction of 2s or 3s a head less than last year. The average price of ewes was from 35s to 40s, and of wethers from 38s to 40s ; it was only the top lots that were in much demand. On Tuesday the horse fair commenced. There was a paucity of first- class hunters and of the finer description of animals, but this is a usual thing at Ballinasloe. The good horses were for the most part bought up on their way to the fair by agents from England, France, and Russia, and many others were purchased in the stables on Saturday and Sunday. There was, however, a good supply of second and third rate horses. Mr Ellison, of Liverpool, purchased several hunters and good hacks. Mr Brewster, of London, bought six weight- carrying hunters, for one of which he paid £ 200. Mr M'Grane, of Dublin, bought six weight- carrying hunters, at prices varying from £ 150 to £ 180 each. Mr Brown, of Btephen's- green, bought a black hunter for £ 150, a bay hunter for £ 160, and a chesnut mare for £ 175. Mr James Bruce, of Melton Castle, Charleville, bought from Mr James Murphy a three year old colt for 85 guineas. Mr Boyle sold a chesnut tiorse for £ 200. Captain Millard paid £ 100 for a fine gray horse. Capt O'Beirne, of the Bays, bought a mare for £ 100. Mr Kelly, of Ballemoe, bought a three year old filly for £ 35. Mr J. T. Cornwall, Cork, sold to Mr Glass a bay horse, by Duc- au- Dhurras, six years old, for 150 guineas. Colonel Fitzwygram bought several fine horses. The great annual sale by auction of horses, the property of Mr ATINN M• N, I T11^ ELT OF Ravprft's rpnnsitorv. Dnn- Allan Pollock, took place on Tuesday, at Bayers's repository. Dun lop- street. There was but a small attendance of purchasers. The horses offered for sale, 47 in number, were, with very few ex- ceptions, of an inferior description, and went at low prices. TREATMENT OF RACE HORSES.— At the Judge's Chambers, on Tuesday, the case of " Wright v Rolph" was further heard and decided. The defendant, the well- known trainer, had two hsrses in his possession— Willie the Beau and Regenerator— which the Sheriff of Wlits took in execution. It was, however, proved that they were the property of Dr Neale, and were ordered to be given up. They had been given up, but in such a condition that Mr Justice Byles was asked to allow an action to be brought against the sheriff for the injury done to them. It was stated that they would not be able to run for the next year. Mr Justice Byles de- cided that the sheriff was not liable for the condition of the horses, especially as it was proved by an affidavit that Dr Neale had or- dered them to be sent to livery. It was complained that the horses had been returned without their clothing, and it was stated that it had been sold under the execution. Mr Justice Byles per- mitted an action to be brought against the sheriff for the clothing. It could not be supposed that race horses were without the neces- sary clothing.— His lordship made an order in the terms men- tioned, saying the sheriff could contest the action. TREATMENT OF SPORTING DOGS.— In the Brompton County COURT, on Oct 3, David Matthews, coachman to a gentleman at Walham Green, was summoned by a cow- keeper named Andrews, living at Fulham, for £ 3 7s, for the keep of two setters and a retriever, for a certain period, at the rate of 3s per week for each dog, the animals in question being the property of the defendant's master. The defence was that the plaintiff had not properly fed or taken care of the dogs; that one had died immediately after it was removed, arid that the others had been rendered worthless. In answer to questions put by Mr Pawle, who appeared for the defendant, the plaintiff said that he kept the dogs in a warm, elean place, and gave them as much barley meal and " middlings" as they would eat, and he also occasionally gave them some skim milk. He admitted that the dogs were not very fat when they were taken away, but he said they were very hard worked during the season. No food could have saved the one which died. The defendant stated that, although the dogs were not thorougly broken, they were worth six or eight guineas each, and the re- triever iu particular was a very good dog, an< t was worth £ 20. Three shillings per week was ample to provide them with suffi- cient food. When he took the dogs away they were in such a state that he was ashamed to be seen with them. The retriever died on the morning after he was brought home, and the others were in a most miserable condition, and one of them died sub- sequently. The learned judge inquired of the defendant whether barley meal and middlings were proper things to feed dogs upon ? He replied, " Certainly not, they would Btarve any dog in the world." The plaintiff asked the defendant whether he did not see the dogs after they had been with him a month, and whether at that time they were not in good condition? The defendant— who is a stout, hearty- looking man— replied, amid much laughter, that the dogs were in good plight when they went to the plaintiff', and a month was not sufficient to get off their condition. " It would take some time to get mine off," said he, " if I was fed ever so badly." The learned judge said he was of opinion that the case for the defendant, had been fully established, and that the plaintiff had fed these dogs most improperly, and had himself broken the contract. He should therefore order him to be non- suited, with costs. THE HELMSLEY POACHING AFFRAY.— At the Helmsley Court- house, on Saturday, Oct 3, before Lord Feversham, who is also prosecutor, the ReV Canon Dixon and Mr James Hill, William Harper, a notorious poacher, was placed at the bar on remand, charged with being implicated in the late poaching affray at Riccal Bridge, when two of Lord Feversham's gamekeepers were all but killed. Musselwhite, the man so greatly injured, is now recovering, but is yet too feeble to give evidence; the other keeper, Bowes, is quite recovered. The prisoner is the only man of the three poachers yet in custody, and, although nearly a month is gone over, the other two continue to elude the pursuit of the police, although it is stated they are now confident of se- curing another man. Mr Grayson, jun. solicitor, of irork, ap peared as attorney for the prisoner. The court was densely crowded, but upon the entrance of the magistrates it was ordered to be cleared, no reason being given. Of course this decision was obeyed, but with considerable expressions of dissatisfaction by the populace. The reporter then applied to the bench to be exempted from the order, but after another consultation the press was also excluded, and the examination was proceeded with in secret. Four witnesses gave evidence, among them the least injured keeper, and, after a long investigation, the prisoner was re- manded for another week. The prisoner is by no means a powerful man; on the contrary, he seems one least likely to en- gage in a poaching contest. His previous habits tell against him, and it is remarkable that after a conflict of great severity, with two powerful keepers, he should have escaped without a wound. It is stated the examination was decidedly favourable to the defence. BARBAROUS MURDER AT NEWCASTLE- UPON- TYNE.— On Satur- day night, Oct 3, a barbarous murder was committed in one of the most frequented thoroughfares of the town of Newcastle- upon- Tyne. Martin Lanskey, the victim, was a young man about 27 years of age, who had worked as a miner at Elswick colliery for a few days past. He lodged in Carr- street; his wife lived at Sun- derland,' and at the time stated he left a public- house kept by one Hopper, in Old- street, and walked towards the railway station, intending to take the train to Sunderland. Two men, his cousins, walked a few yards before him, and their account of the affair is that they heard Lanskey shout that he was stabbed, and that on turning back they saw a man running away. A boy near the spot states that a quarrel arose between Lanskey and another man as they left the public- house, that the other man was knocked down, and that he immediately jumped up, drew a knife, and stabbed Lanskey in the neck, and ran off. The cousins took the wounded man into Mr Boe's chemist's shop, where a frightful gash in his neck was revealed. Mr Boe thrust in a handkerchief to stop the flow of blood, and directed the men to take Lanskey to the house of a surgeon living near. They, however, took him into the shop of Mr Jobson, chemist, and said, " Here is a man that has been murdered." Mr Jcbson asked who had murdered him ? He said, " I'm going, I'm going," and, without answering the ques- tion, he sunk on the floor of the shop and expired. The cousins are detained by the police, but it has not been ascertained by whom the murderous wound was inflicted. THE WEST BROMWICH MURDER.— COMMITTAL OF THE PRI- SONER.— Saturday, Oct 3, Benj. Holding, who had already been committed for trial on the coroner's warrant for the murder of his two children, was brought up on remand. At the present exami- nation his wife was permitted to occupy a chair by his side, and his mother was also accommodated with a seat while giving her evidence, in the course of which she evinced the utmost agony. The evidence was substantially the same as that given before the coroner's jury. The depositions having been read over, the pri- soner was asked if he had anything to say, and he said in a clear and firm voice, " I've no recollection of doing it." He was then fully committed to take his trial on the charge of wilful murder at the assizes. The accused, when called upon to sign his state- ment, wrote his name with a firm, steady hand. Before he left the court he held a brief conversation with Mr Jackson, his soli- citor, with whom he shook hands, and the prisoner was then re- moved to the cell. In the course of the day he was taken to Staf- ford Gaol. An inventive Yankee has produced an apparatus which he says is a cure for snoring. He fastens upon the nose a gutta- percha tube leading to the tympanum of the ear. Whenever the snorer snores, he himself receives the first impression, finds how dis- agreeable it is, and, of course, reforms.

Serene, in all her dewy beauty bright." The still heavy foliage is just beginning to be tinted with those brilliant reds and browns, which no painter, save nature, can de" pict. Our meadows still retain their verdure, and though the wild flowers have faded, and the note of the song thrush no lGnger gladdens our senses, the varied beauty of the highly coloured land- scape remains to us, and the sweet warble of the" robin enlivens the scene. Thus far had I written, endeavouring to portray the beauty of bright October, when the door of my den opens, and enter a rough coated individual, buttoned up to the chin, rain drops pouring from his glazed hat, a short black clay in his mouth, and salmon rod in hand. His first exclamation my pen dare not write— it was, however, not complimentary to the beauty of our present autumnal weather ; his next was abuse of myself tor not being ready to accompany him to the river side. How- ever, not being quite " up to the mark,'' and fancying that " home, be it ever so homely"— was preferable to the river bank on such a day, I humbly declined, so my visitor shook the " dew drop ' from his coat, and replenishing his clay, he read the few words I had written, and treated me to a roar that regularly shook the walls of my little crib. I looked up from my paper— with no very mild expression—" Bosh, old fellow, why it's rained for the last three weeks, and the wind's cold enough to cut one in two. I've been drenched every day I have been out; as for bright sun, ' Heaven savethe mark,' I've seen lots of rollingfog and driving rain, but your ' serene' and ' dewy beauty bright'I say is all bosh! Now'the only sense that has been agreeably affected for days has been my nasal organs. Why don't you say something about beer, October beer ? Now, to my taste there's nothing more delightful than the scent of a good brew of old October; and, by the bye, as I came past the village, I regularly pulled up. O! ye gods, what delicious scent of malt and hops came from the brewhouse! Talk about your wild- flowers'." Poor fellow, he could stand it no longer; so, calling to the landlady, he requested her to hasten to the inn and get hirn a foaming jug of the fragrant liquid. Passing the window, his head bent to the beating storm of wind and rain, was a well- known old fisherman, and my friend hailed him with the humane intention of giving him a " drop of good beer." When he entered, something like the following conversation took place. " Well, old boy, what sport with the salmon ?'" " Why you see, sir, the river has been running a Hood for daj's, weeks I may say, and it's only a day or two now and then I could get out to fish, and then only fish the shallow water and streams. I know'd this ere storm was a coming."—" How did you know, Tom 2'' « ' Well, you see, sir, it's near upon six weeks gone we had a very big flood, which brought up a deal more fish than I have seed for many a year, but my father "—" There, hold hard, I don't want to know what your father did; you've told us those tales a hundred times about his killing ten fish a day, the smallest 151b, and a hundred other yarns, all of which I dare say you have told so often you believe them. Take a pull at the beer, and tell me what you have done lately." " Well, a'ter the big flood run'd down a bit I went out, and though the water was still very dark and high, I kept on a raisin and a raisin fish one a'ter the other, the salmon rolling half out of the water like porpoises in the sea, but never so much as touching the fly, and I raised that day more fish than I have done any week the sea- son, and only killing one. Well, sir, I know'd by the way the fish rised that we was a going to have bad storms; they be queer creatures, and knows when storms is coming, and does always act in this ' ere same manner, and that's the way I knowed the bad weather was coming, sir."—" What sort of a rise do the fish make before bad weather?" " Well, sir, you can't well mistake ' em; they speak as plain as Christians; they comes up slowly and leisurely like, and rolls on the water, showing full half their bodies, but they never goes within two or three inches of the fly, and down they drop, down the stream, perhaps half a dozen yards, and if yer waits a few minutes, yer may raise him again and again, but it is no use, he'll rot take, and it's dreadfully provoking indeed, and times 1 goes away and leaves un, but not often, for when onc't I get's a raise of a fish I don't like to leave un. I goes away a bit for an hour or so, but I alers tries un once or twice afore I goes home. Sometimes I bo- thers un tho'."—" How's that, Tom ; take another pull at the beer, man, to keep the wet out.'' " Thank'ee, sir; there's nothin' warms one's inerds like good beer; it goes down cool like and pleasant over the tongue, but when it gets down intarnal like it warms one onaccountable. Now if ee take spirits, sir, it goes down hot, and doesn't warm up like old beer inerds. But as I was a saying, I sometimes does bother them gentlemen when they takes to raisin and a raisin in that agrifying way, and only last week I caught one of the playful ones when he did'nt mean to have any- thing to do with me."—" Well, Tom, tell us how you nibbled him." " Why ye see, sir, I raised a good fish near on twelve pounds, and as bright as a bar of siller ; well, he comed again and again, and says I to him, if yer keeps on at that ere game yer may get a taste* of something you don't fancy, my lad. So I whips on a small triangle with about three inches of fine strong gut into the tail of a big salmon fly I was using, and made all fast. Well, I cast for un again, and up he comed rolling half out of water. I struck across un, and ( here Tom took a mighty pull at the jug), and, sir, I had un, had un hard and fast; arnt he stonished ! He went away like a bullet, I know'd it was no sort of use trying to hold him. I'd struck him with the triangle in the belly, and he could go just where he liked— had his head, sir, and he know'd it. Indeed, indeed, but that fish did give me trouble. It was more than an hour afore I got near enough to gaff'un, and glad was I when it was over indeed, indeed.''—" Was that triangle an invention of your own, Tom; it seems rather a poaching or unfair sort of tackle ?" " Well, sir, ye see now it arnt a sporting like way of taking salmon, but uncommon killen for all that, when the water is dark and the fish raisin ' short' and agrifying on one. No, sir, I didn't inwent that triangle. My father"—" There," said my friend, " take a pull,'' and the old fellow's story of his father was drowned in a long draught.— " You think there are plenty of fish in the river, Tom?" " Lots and lots, sir, more than ever I see'd, but my father's''—" And you think, Tom, there are some very large fish up ?" " I knows it, sir." : —" How do you know it, Tom V " ' Cause I've see'd una ; that's pretty good " sign, sir ; and ' cause I've had hold of um ; that's another sign, sir," said old Tom, whose eyes were beginning to get smaller and smaller, and his tongue thicker and thicker. " I just wishes you'd been with me last week, when I hooked a big un."—" Why, Tom '!" " Why, sir ? why because you'd ha' seen such a game as you never see'd afore, least I never did, and I've fished these years and years, and my father—"—" Well, what about the big salmon, Tom ?" " Well, you see, sir, last week I was out with a chap, and I'd killed one fish, and was casting the black pool, when up comes one of the old sort, the likes as we don't see often ; but my father ''—" What size was he, Tom V " Well, he wasn't such a mighty long un, but as thick as a barrel, and I knows he wasn't much under five and twenty pounds. Well, when the fish com'd up, I know'd he was a fresh run gentleman, up only a few hours from salt water, and says I to Jem, ' Jem,' says I, - mind you, now, if I gets hold of that'ere fish you'll see games, for he's a lively un.' Well, I cast again, and up he did come ; I felt him, and struck ; the line come tight and hard, as though I had struck a rock, and. in an instant, wir- r- r- rh went the reel, and away went the fish. I've killed some hundreds of fish myself, and see'd my father "—" Well, well, Tom.'' " Well, well, sir," said Tom, who was getting excited, " give me time, will yer, and I'll tell ee," and Tom visited the replenished jug to cool his rising ire. " Well, that fish took out full seventy yards of line, and took it out faster than any fish I ever see'd afore. Indeed, indeed, but he did fly; I thought he'd never stop, but he brought up at last, and then he showed himself. Out he came ; a real beauty ! Away he went again, with some thirty yards' more, tho' I ran down the bank as hard as I could, and then what does he do, but run up right at me ; I never see'd a fish rush about at the same pace ; no use my trying to reel up, to keep a tight line on him, he com'd too fast for that; so I ran back, holding my rod as high as I could, and reeling as fast as I could; but now comes the queerest part of the game. When the fish got to my bank, the water was she' vin' like, and at the edge quite shallow. Well, what does the fish do but run right up on to the shallow, and up to the side, into water not deep enough to half cover him! Well, Jem runs arter him, seeing him near high and dry, to gaff him, but the fish was a real devil; he cut along in that shallow water faster than Jim could go, and as the line was slack I could not hold him where he was. The fish scuttled up the shallow like a race horse some twenty yards, and then took to the deep again. But whilst he was under my feet I saw the reason of all his madness. I had hooked him, right through the eye, and that made him mad, and as he was blinded he runned right on to the bank. He never was still a moment, and his rushes such as I never see'd, and I said to Jim, ' Jem, we shall soon kill this here gentleman, if he goes on at that pacehe can't last long, for nay fathers alers said—"—" Well. Tom, did you kill him?" No, sir, I didn't," 3aid Tom, rather riled at being interrupted, " He run'd me under an old sunken stump in the pool and cut my line," and poor Tom looked hard at the jug, which in compassion for his loss was handed to him.—" Well, Tom, I'm sorry you lost that big fish, but you know it's always the big ones that are lost. What do you think of the weather, is it going to clear up soon ?'' Tom scratched his head. " You see, sir, I'm regularly bothered. I've been looking at the parson's glass, and it's getting up; then the leeches in the brook, they say no, and the fishes they say no, so I rather inclines to the leeches and fishes ' gainst the glass.''— How do you judge by the leeches, Tom?" " Leeches, sir, alers sinks and gets out o'sight when rain and storms are coming on ; that I knows because I used to gather leeches for the doctors. Frogs too get into the mud and hide before a storm, but they come » ut during rain if it is warm.''—" I recollect," I said, " in France seeing a glass jar in which was kept a frog; the jar was about three parts full of water, and a small ladder was placed in the water. During bad weather master froggie would sink to the mud and stones at the bottom and remain a considerable time, only coming to the sur- face for air; but if you saw the frog climbing up the ladder you might be certain the storm was nearly over. Don't you think, Tom, it's quite time to put by the salmon and trout rod?" " Well, Mr Fin, towards the trout, it is time and more than time, and it's a shame to kill the trout now— tho' there's a many as does, particularly the night liners, during these floods ; they takes a power of the largest flsh night lining, now, and what I say is that them night lines be ' fixed ingines,' and is agin the law." What do you think, sir ?"—'' I believe the fixed line to be unlawful; it may be set for trout, but I have known more than one instance of salmon being taken by a night line, baited with a lob worm." " I was dead agin the new fish law, sir," said Tons, " but now I see it's all for the best, and so must all the net men, sir, tho' they be such grab- alls ; it's the best thing as ever hap- pened to the net men in the tide way ; they got more fish this year than thm7 P1T01< ^ iH flnvinnr fViia " imi'i1^ hAti. in 111\- (. it IHii.' t f]'>-,. 1. " ? the shoulders as any spnftg Mi— sucli i beaUty. 1 sent it a pre- * 86ftt to a friend, an* what do you third was the answer here- turned to me? Why that I ought to bepulled up for killing such a fish, as it was full of spawn. There was a let down. I thought I had sent a splendid present, and got s wigging." " The fact is," said I, " we ought not to kill another fish. The law gives us until the 1st of November, but fish are getting too heavy with spawn to be killed. If you do kill a fish let it b « an old, red cock fish ; he will make a capital kipper, and will no; be much loss in the river. If you don't know how to make a kipper read the angling article in Bell of the 6th 8ept. The hens are mostly bright just now, and look fat, as most female creatures do wien breeding— but it is all blubber; a bright- sided salmon should now always be returned to the river— it is certain to be a hen— and no man should at this time, when fishing for salmon, use a gaff. If he must fish, let him use a net, and he can then return the hens to the river." "' As salmon are going out' and troit are ' down,' as our mer- chant friends would say, we must Uke to pike, perch, and the smaller fry. What am I to do, Fin, for bait ? There's no bait to be bought in these diggins as in the large towns, and I should like a day on the lakes?" " A very useful, and at the same time killing, bait for pike when you can not get dace, gudgeon, or other small fish, is an eel's tail. You can generally, one way or the other, get an eel, cut off some four inches of his stern ; the eel should be small. Take out from the upper part of the bait the bone and flesh, draw the skin forward and tie it with a piece of silk; you will thus make the head of the bait sharp so as to go cleanly through the water. Now r: g your bait on a flight of hooks; ysu may fancy the Penweil, the Francis, or the old school of innumerable triangles. Sou will find the eel's tail a capital bait, and it will spin well and last through a very fair day's sport. I once killed nine fine pike in the Avon with one bait made from an eel's tail; it was, I must say, rafAerdilapidated at the end of the day, but it was the only bait I could get, and was expected to ' do its duty,' and it did it like a true British eel. Smelts make most excellent bait for spinning. They are rather tender and somewhat expensive, but they are often more easily- procured in most towns than the baits usually used for pike fish- ing. As for artificial baits, there are now so many it is all but impossible to say which is the bestorworst. A'spoon' is very often killing, and a brass shoe horn has also been commended ; so also has the photograph of a defunct grandmother. I do not pretend to give any opinion as to the merits of either one or the other. I believe in natural baits; when you cannot get these, as I have often before stated, ' you pays your money and takes your choice.' and Mr Farlow of the Strand will show you some dozens of dif- ferent style— all killers— and truly, though I do hold to natural baits, it is always useful to have " an artificial one or two, for you may run short of the ' real thing.'" " What sort of ' flight' do you recommend, Fin ?" " For my own fishing I prefer one single large hook with lip hook, and if you please a small flying triangle at the tail. I detest a bunch of triangles ; put them in any form you please you cannot alter their ' fixings.' One good large hook well into the bony jaws of a pike is worth a dozen small triangles; and large triangles are too conspicuous for fishing in clear water ; they also are very troublesome when fishing a weedy place. You can hide the whole of one large hoot in the bait save the point, and with care you may cover that." " What about' striking,' do you like hard striking at jack !" " Certainly, and wry hard striking too. Drive the steel well into the rascal's bony mouth, or he will shake it out very soon." In my next I may continue our confab anent fishie matters.— Yours, & c, FIN.

THE SCOTTISH SALMON FISHERIES.— ANNUAL CLOSE- TIME AND DURATION OF ROD FISHING.— The Commissioners ( Messrs. Eden, Leslie and Ffennel) under the Act 25 and 26 Victoria, cap. 97, for regulating the salmon fisheries in Scotland, have just issued a by- law to the sheriff- clerks of the several counties inter- ested, by which the close- time for nets for the great majority of the rivers in Scotland is fixed to be from the 27th August to the 10th February, both days inclusive. For a few rivers, however, the close- time will be a" fortnight later— namely, from the 10th September to the 24th February, both days inclusive. These ex- ceptional rivers are the Urr andFieet. in Kirkcudbrightshire; the Luce, Wigtonsliire ; the Stinchar, Girvan, Irvine, and Gairnock, Ayrshire ; the Bewie, Kincardineshire: and the Ythan and Cggie, Aberdeenshire. In most rivers rod- fishing is to be extended to the 31st October ; but in a few in which the proprietors do not wish so long a continuance, it is to be only till the 10th and 15th of October. Theseare the Forth, Spey, Kyle of Sutherland, Nairn, Ness. Beauly, Lossie and Thurso, to the 15th ; and the Tay and Findhorn to the 10th October. We believe that the Ness and Thurso are also to open a little earlier for rod fishing. These regulations are subject to the approval of the Secretary of State, on receiving which the by- law will be published in the Gazette and come into operation.— Scotsman. PEDESTRIANISM.

" No, sir; not good for all; it's not good for the poor old rod- fisher ; the likes of me, for instance. I have fished the river, boy and man, and my father afore me; I an't a poacher, as you knows, sir ; I make my living by my rod, and tending on gentle- folks, fly making, and tackle making ; there's alers such men on every river, and, tho' I say it as oughtent, we're useful, sir, and when we shut up we'll be wanted. I've fished miles of the river all my life, and the gentlefolks were all glad to buy poor Tom's salmon and trout, and no one thought of turning him off, except a squire or two as kept keepers, and they wasn't very particular. But now it's all altered. Notice boards here, watchers there ; I can't fish but a bit here and there now, and in a little time every inch will be preserved. No, sir; for the poor man and the general fisher the new law will not improve their sport; fishing will be in the hands of a few proprietors, as the shooting is, and if a man has not money to rent fishing, or friends to give him liberty, why then. sir, he may go all over Britain, and not be able to wet a line.'' —" Oh yes." " I said, " there are, and will always be, rivers open to all, such as Thames. Trent.'' " Be there any salmon in them rivers," said Tom, brightening up at the idea of yet being able to use his darling rod.—" No. Tom, not yet; but plenty of other fish, and it is to be hoped that, by artificial breeding, salmon will be introduced into both those rivers." " I an't no opinion about that artificial breedin', sir, and a river without sal- mon an't worth fishing, least that's my fancy. Good morning, gentlemen, and thank'ee."—" Take another pull, Tom, before you go." " No, thank'ee, gentlemen ; had enough, and more ; got to make some flies for the' gentlemen down at the inn. and must not drink any more.' " What are the best flies now Tom ?'' " Well, sir, I fishes with reds and yellows, orange for change— them's the best— but Lord love ye I must make all sorts and sizes for these touring fishermen or they won't buy. Good morning, again, gentlemen.'' " There goes as ardent a brother of the angle, and as fair a fisherman as any lord in the land,'' said my friend, soliloquising and taking short, sharp pulls at his black clay, " the days of all his class are num- bered— no more fishing for the poor man— it's too valuable a pro- perty, and increasing daily in value. I'm almost sorry, for there are thousands of poor men who fish for the love of fishing, and I tell you what old fellow, the day is fast approaching when a good salmon river will be the most valuable portion of many an estate, and salmon and really good trout fishing sport only for the rich.

EASTERN COUNTIES CKICKET CLUB ANNUAL SPORTS. The above sports came off at Stratford on Saturday, Oct 3, with the most satisfactory result, thanks to the great energy displayed by the starter, Mr J. Balloch ; the referee, H. W. Davis, Esq ; and the clerks of the course. The course was 330 yards round, was well roped in, and a capital stand was erected opposite the winning post. Every race came off at the time appointed, with- out one false start or dispute. The course was rather heavy, owing to the recent rain, but from constant application of the large horse roller there was not much to complain of. The hurdle race was capitally contested and well won by John Smith, the " Cam- bridge colt,'"' he clearing every hurdle in good style. The great event of the day, the mile race for the silver cup and money prizes, was also well contested. S. Adey, Esq, who was attended by Sam Barker, looked all over a winner, but making a mistake a short distance from home failed in getting a place.— First Race. 100 yards, for members over 30: H. Smith 1, W. Arnold 2, Spencer 3 ; 11 entries. Won by a foot; Spencer close up.— Throwing the Ball: Bradshaw 95 yards, J. Smith 91, Stevens 89 ; 7 entries.— Hurdle Race, 400 yards : J.

Herbert, who obtained a long start, won by a yard, Arnold, who was disappointed at the last turn, losing second honour by a foot only. After the sports the annual dinner took place at the institution, when upwards of ninety members and friends sat down; Mr H. W. Davis, the president, in the chair. After the usual royal toasts, prizes were presented to J. Smith arid R. Scaife for batting, and to M. Seymour, J. Squires, and C. Mole for bowling. The health of the president having been drunk with nine times nine, Mr Arnold, in the name of the playing members, presented that gentleman with two large photographs, in gilt frames, of the players and officers of the club, taken by Mr T. Gurnish, 20, New- street, Dorset- square. The club is in a prosperous condition, having a good balance in hand, and have played 24 matches during the season, of which they have won 21, lost two, and drawn one. SPORTS AND PASTIMES OF THE 78TH HIGHLANDERS, Committee : Capt G. Forbes, Capt T. Mackenzie, and Capt T. H. Thompson. Judge: Sir C. Forbes, Bart, of Newe and Edin- PEDESTEIANISM AT HACKNEY WICK- W. LANG AND E. MILLS OF BETHNAL GREEN.— On Monday, Oct 5, although it rained heavily up to a late hour in the after- noon, there was a good attendance of the Metropolitans on J. Baum's ground, to witness the race between the above pedestrians, for £ 50, and the Five Mile Champion's Belt, given for competi- tion by Mr Baum, the proprietor. This handsome trophy, it may- be stated, was first contended for on Monday, Aug 17, when Lang proved the winner, beating a field of seven competitors, among whom was Mills, who on that occasion certainly ran remarkably well. No sooner had Lang become invested with the belt, and the distinction of five miles champion, than he was challenged by Mills, upon the stipulated conditions, hence the present match. The men had to make the circuit of the course 34 times to com- plete the distance, and as Mills had been reported to be well, a finely- contested struggle was expected to result, as in the present race the Bethnal Green champion was thought fully capable of maintaining his own against his powerful opponent. It will, however, be seen the race turned out a most contempti- ble affair on the part of Mills, who, although not more than in the " bloom '' of manhood, appears to be quite " used up," and if we may judge from the lamentable manner in which we have seen him on several occasions of late " break down," it is certain that if all the running has not quite left him, yet there is not the least reliance to be placed on him. We are inclined to think he will soon find out the unpleasant and unpalatable truth that friends will speedily grow tired of backing a man who, from caprice or the want of power, cannot go anything like the stipu- lated distance to be run. If the fault is still within Mills's power to remedy, let him set about doing so at once, or if he does not, he wiil soon lose all the popularity he has hitherto acquired. The race had been fixed to come off " at five o'clock, and punctual to the hour named the pedestrians came oti the ground, and under the management of W. Price, proceeded to take up their positions for the start. On going off the lead was taken by Mills, who at a good pace headed his man by something like two yards, and in this manner they continued to run without the slightest variation in position throughout the whole of the first mile, which was accomplished in 4min 46sec. During the performance of the second mile the pedestrians still continued racing at a clipping pace, the lead being in favour of Mills, until the men had entered the straight run of the four- teenth lap, this being the last round of the second mile. Now the Middlesborough clipper, who had thus far been judiciously waiting on his man, put on a fine spurt, and in a magnificent bit of running, came to the fore, so that on the completion of the se- cond mile ( 9min 563ec), Lang was well in front. During the first lap of the third mile Lang made a formidable gap between them, and from the easy manner in which he now left Mills in the rear, made him look particularly small. Mills continued racing until nearly the completion of the nineteenth lap, when he pulled up and resigned, so that it will be seen he did not run quite three miles of the distance, and so thoroughly dissatisfied were the spectators, that as he left the ground he was greeted with partially suppressed hisses. Lang having been left in undisputed possession of the course ran the remainder of the distance out at a good pace, and completed the whole of the five miles in 25min 56sec. Mills, there can be no doubt, is one of the finest and smartest little runners that ever contended in a match, and really it is a pity that'there should in his conduct be any occasion for the slightest censure, and that more especially as we think the fault arises more from the want of attention on his part than anything else. We can assure him that none will be more pleased and gratified than ourselves to for the future notice any improvement; for, if matters are not soon altered, Mills will rapidly sink from a first- rate pedestrian to nothing more formidable than a mere " hack." The winner can have the stakes at our office next Thursday, Oct 15, at twelve o'clock. PEDESTRIANISM AT BOW. BEATON OE STEATFOED AND REES OF MILLWALL.— On Satur- day, Oct 3, there was a capital attendance on C. Wilson's inclosed ground, the Olympia, Bow, to witness the 440 yards race between these pedestrians, for £ 20 a side. Seaton had trained under the care of Howes, the pedestrian, and was in admirable condition. Rees had taken his exercise at G. Woody's, Wands- worth, having for his monitor the well- known Alf. Crudgington, and, like his opponent, he was in superb fettle. The betting on the result, which was of a very spirited description, commenced at evens, and finally closed at 6 to 4 on Seaton. The pedestrians had to go by report of a pistol, and in adjusting the preliminaries J. Pudney, the M. C. of the ground, was chosen to act as referee. The race had been fixed to be run at five o'clock, and, punctual to the time named, the pedestrians, accompanied by their trainers and respective backers, came to the mark. In tossing, Rees won the choice of sides ; therefore, on finally taking up their positions at the scratch preparatory to the start," had his opponent on the right hand. On the appointed signal being given the competitors bounded off, Rees, who displayed a little more quickness than his opponent in making the " break," obtaining a fine lead of two yards. At a swinging pace Rees maintained the advantage, until 180 yards of the distance had been covered, when Beaton, amidst the deafening cheers of his partisans, put on a fine spurt, and challenged his man for the lead. Despite the strenuous efforts of Rees, who, it must be admitted, contested every foot of ground in the most plucky and resolute manner, Beaton gradually closed up the gap between himself and his opponent, and when 250 yards of the distance had been accomplished, had so improved his position that he had succeeded in wresting from him the lead. Having once come to the fore, Seaton held the lead throughout the re- mainder of the race, and on the finish went in a fine winner by 10 yards. The winner can have the stakes at our office next Thursday at twelve o'clock. PARKER AND BSOWN.— On Monday, Oct 5, these pedestrians met on the grounds to run a mile, for £ 5 a side, the meeting, not- withstanding the unpropitious state of the weather, being well attended. The odds were 2 to 1 on Parker, and Jacques ( the pe- destrian) was appointed referee. The men had to go by report of pistol, and on the signal being given they bounded off at a good pace. The lead, from the moment the competitors commenced the struggle, was taken by Brown, who maintained the advantage of position until half the distance had been accomplished. Now Parker, who although in the rear, had been racing with his man remarkably well, put on some extra " steam,'' and challenged his opponent for the lead. Brown, although he tried to spurt with his competitor, and made the most strenuous efforts to keep the lead, soon had to resign, for from the style in which Parker closed up the gap between them and came to the fore, it was ap- parent he had a fine turn of speed in his favour. Parker had no sooner succeeded in obtaining the lead than he placed a formid- able gap between them, and so completely beaten was Brown, that he pulled up when within 200 yards of the goal, therefore Parker finished an undisputed winner. GUY AND THOMPSON.— These men likewise contended for su- premacy in a spin of one mile, for " a fiver" a side. On going off the pedestrians ran well together until two- thirds of the distance had been covered, when Guy came away with the lead in gallant style, and won as he liked, Thompson being so completely beaten off that he did not run the race quite out. The games peculiar to the " lads of the heather," and mos scrupulously preserved by the above distinguished regiment at home and abroad, commenced on Wednesday, Oct 7, in the North Foreland Meadow, adjacent to Dover Cas'tle ; but threaten- ing sky- vapours resolved for a downpour, and the sports were dis- continued. On Thursday, Oct 8, however, an immense concourse lined the ropedarena, and the outer circle of carriages, & o, gave to the scene all the animation of a race- course. In addition to the splendid brass hand of the regiment, there was the national music of the pipes, and a fine mild October day amply repaid the disappointment of the preceding one. The results were as follows :— Race for Lads: M'Leod 1, M'Inery 2.— Half Mile Race, open to the garrisons of Dover. Shornecli'ff, and Walnier : Private M'Cart ( 78th) 1, Sergeant J. Austin ( 78th) 2.— Long Leap ( standing): A. Mackie 1, , T. M'Kenzie 2.— Long Leap ( running) : A. Shanks 1, Lance- Sergeant J. Hume 2.— Throw- ing the Hammer, 181b: Private J.

Ferguson 1, Drum- Major An- derson 2.— High Leap ( standing) : Private A. Mackie 1, Serg J. Austin 2.— High Leap ( running) : Private J. M'Cart 1, Piper J. PEDESTRIANISM AT WANDSWORTH. EVES'S MATCH AGAINST TIME.— On Monday, Oct 5, there was a good attendance of the sporting metropolitans assembled on G. Woody's enclosed ground to witness the match against the " enemy," in which J. Eves had been backed for a bet of £ 15 to £ 10, to walk 10 miles, fair heel and toe, within one hour and a half. Eves had to make the circuit of the course 40 times, and in adjusting the preliminary matters G. Woody, the proprietor, was chosen timekeeper and referee. The odds were 5 to 4 on Time, and there was a good deal of money speculated. When all had been got in readiness Eves came to the scratch, and on being told to go went dashing along at a good pace, and completed the first seven miles of the distance in Ih 6min 30sec. During the per- formance of the eight, ninth, and tenth miles Eves maintained the struggle in the most plucky style, and on the completion of the 40th and last lap it was found he had brought his task to a successful termination, having fairly accomplished the distance in lh 23min 30sec, so that he had lmin 30sec to the good, the match on the part of Eves having from the start been walked with the most unexceptionable fairness. HARDS AND SMITH.— These pedestrians likewise contended in a walk of four miles, for £ 5 a side, Hards receiving half a minute. Mr Woody, the proprietor, again discharged the duties of referee. On starting, Hards in the time allowed covered about 120 yards, but no sooner had Smith commenced the struggle than, so well did he gain on his man, when one mile and a half had been accomplished, he had finally closed on him and came to the fore. Hards, although he had been compelled to resign the lead, still contested the match pluekily throughout the remainder of the distance, and pressed Smith so severely that on the completion he did not succeed in defeating Hards by more than three yards, the four miles being walked by Smith in Stimin 30sec. EYANS AND CHILD.— These' pedestrians also contended in a spin of 120 yards for £ 5 a side. The betting was even, and the men, on coming to the mark, agreed to go by report of pistol. They got off on the most even terms, and ran well together for 100 yards, when Child stole gradually away from his opponent, and passed the goal the winner of a well- contested race by three yards. COPENHAGEN GROUNDS MANCHESTER. SATURDAY, OCT 3.— HILTON AND HEYWOOD.— The engage- ment originally signed by C. Hilton of Rochdale and J. Hey wood of Smallbridge, near that town, stated that they had agreed to run 440 yards, for £ 10 ( open for £ 20) a side, Mr J. Chadwick. of the Coach and Horses, Rochdale, being the stakeholder and re- feree. Notwithstanding that the afternoon was unfavourable, about 300 persons were present, the contest having excited con- siderable interest, and given rise to much speculation in the lo- cality from which the men hailed. Neither of the pedestrians had previously accomplished any great victory, though Hilton some time ago carried off the first prize in a handicap of 300 yards at Heywood; he also defeated an opponent known by the alias of Bat in a race of 300 yards, which came off at the Higginsliaw Grounds, Oldham;" and he subsequently beat J. Rushton of Whitworth, near Rochdale, for £ 10 a side, on the same course. So far as we are aware, Heywood had no previous victory to boast of, but he was defeated some time back in a half- mile race for a small sum at Oldham. However, as we have said, the betting in Rochdale was rife on the result, Mr G. Parkinson, of the Three Crowns, in that town, holding upwards of £ 140 on the issue. Prior to to- day the betting was even, Hilton for choice, and he was the favourite when business opened on the ground, but at start guineas to pounds were laid on Heywood. On quitting the crease, Hilton began to cut out the work, but when they had proceeded about 40 yards Heywood deprived him of the lead, afterwards kept on in ad- vance, and won with ease by four or five yards. For this event the winner had been trained by R. Lowe of'Heywood, and Hilton had been prepared by F. Greenwood of Rochdale. Eaeh pedes- trian was so confident of success that the gate money was wagered on the result. QUOITING— During the afternoon an interestinggame at quoits came off, the players being O. Cutler add J. Wilson ( both of Manchester). The conditions were that they should compete for £ 10 aside, 61 shots up, 18 yards distance, stiff sticking clay ends, each to provide his own quoits. The men staked the gate money on the event, and after some excellent play Cutler proved the winner, he having scored 61 to Wilson's 58. Mr Hayes very satis- factorily discharged the duties of referee. THE CHAMPION WRESTLING BELT — W. Schoraof Ashton and J. Meadowcroft of Iiadcliff have now staked £ 10 each in the hands of Mr Hayes, for their match to wrestle two out of three back falls, in the Lancashire fashion, for £ 25 a side and the Cham- pion Belt, now held by Meadowcroft. The contest is to take place here on Nov 7. Mr Hayes to be referee. CANINE.— On account of the race of 200 yards, for £ 15 a side, between R. Smith's Rose of Westbromwich and E. Holmes's Lady of Longton, the whole of the money has been staked in the hands of Mr Hayes, who is also to be referee. The contest is to be de- cided at these grounds, on Oct 19, the heavier dog to give two yards and a half to the pound. RABBIT SWEEPSTAKES.— A rabbit sweepstakes will come off here on Monday, Oct 12.

MONDAY, OCT 5.— Throughout the afternoon the Room was densely crowded, but settling occupied far more attention— for a time at least— than speculation on the two great autumn handi- caps, although even from a comparatively early hour and long before, the accounts were got through the industrious ones plied their vocation, and offers to lay against sundry animals in the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire might be heard amid the " hum and buzz'' of the " squaring up.'' It was long, however, before the Room was sufficiently clear to make " head or tail" of what was really going on beyond the established fact that Drummer Boy having come " a rattler" in the City, where he was backed freely at 10 to 1, was for a time the understood first fa- vourite, layers confining their offers to 7 to 1. These offers, how- ever, were not tempting enough, and later in the afternoon a point more was proffered with little better success, and for money Lioness at the last- mentioned odds was doubtless the leading fa- vourite. At one time Limosina was in much request, and 100 to 12 was booked over and over again, but at the close she re- ceded to 10 to 1 ( taken and offered), the last bet booked about her being 100 to 9. Blackdown was in much demand, the highest offer against him at last being 14 to 1, while after 25 to 1 had been repeatedly booked about Umpire, he left off at 22 to 1; and his stable companion, Thalestris, who last week was so frequently << put up," went away to any price. Despite the support awarded to Blackdown, Jack o' Hearts met with sup- port at 25 to 1, a price that was also taken, when obtain- able, about Fantail. Both Buekenham and Romanoff were fre- quently inquired after, and of the outside division those most talked'about were Emblem and Oakapple. The ultra liberal odds of 100 to 1 having been laid against Anfield— who was last week under suspicion— the announcement subsequently posted in the Room of his being struck out at four minutes to four did not occa- sion any very profound sensation, although, as a matter of course, It elicited a few passing comments. For the Cambridgeshire 12 to 1 was offered on the field— ergo aeainst Catch ' em Alive— and Exchequer was in such demand that after all the available " twenties'' had been taken, his closing price was 100 to 6, at which figure Birdhill was also supported freely. Borealis was scarcely so firm, and met with no support at 20 to 1. Some in- quiries" were made after Despair and Caimcastle, and both Anfield and Suramerside were invested on at 33 to 1, while the French filly Grande Dame was introduced into the market at 50 to 1 ( taken freely). Only two or three bets were made on the Derby THUE8DAY, OCT 8.— Very few members were present, and seven " fifties'' about Lioness for the Cesarewitch comprised the amount of business transacted.

A paragraph last week went the round of the papers, to the effect that Messrs Tattersall's establishment was about to be re- moved to the Portman- street Barracks; but, as we stated long since, ft capital site has been secured at Knightsbridge, where, in fact the builiing is fast progressing. The offices are already carried to their full height, and the roof3 are now being put on. The en tire frontage, presenting a very handsome appearance, will be to Knightsbridge Green; while the gateway embraces three arches, the one on either side for pedestrians and the centre for horses, with equally convenient distinct access to the offices of the firm and the subscription room. The latter will be large and lofty, and the stables backed by all the advantages of light, height, arid width. Trying as it may be for many an old stager to turn away from the fanrliar " Corner," the new Tattersall's, like the new hotels, will have many a pull in the way of due accommoda- tion for " man and horse."

The extraordinary performances of Gibraltar at Bedford, with the disputed two year old race there, comprise the only stirring incidents of the past week's racing, the four meetings of which did not produce so many contests as are set down for the forth- coming Second October week at Newmarket. The list contains eight private matches, fifteen public races already completed, and twenty- nine minor affairs that have yet to close, making fifty- two events in all, or an average of more than ten for each of the five days. The Cesarewitch is, of course, the leading feature, and after that come the Ciearwell and Prendergast, which will prove none the less interesting because no Derby crack happens to be engaged in either, as they both very epen- looking in consequence, and are cer- tain to be contested by excellent fields. The matches are rather tame; and among the five set for Monday there are three in which Lord Glasgow is interested, his lordship having engaged three of his scions of Toxopholite, viz, a filly out of Maid of Masham, a colt out of Miss Sarah, and a filly out % f Miss Whip. They have all been in public ; and as the opponents of the two first- named— Kapidari, and a colt by Fandango out of Eglantine— " dark,'' while the soft Gossamer filly meets the other, his lordship is in a fair way of having the best of it either in the racing or tlse forfeiting. Confidence has to give 61b to Southpor^ over half a mile, which he could always do when in form ; but Tomfoolery has so much improved, that it must be a fine touch between her and Ostentation over the like distance, notwith- standing the latter beat Moulsey under such trying (?) circum- stances at York— her superior gameness, perhaps, entitling the Duke's filly to the preference. The only remaining items complete in Monday's list are a cou- ple of Sweepstakes, which should be won by Curagoa and Linda respectively, the latter being in receipt of 31b from Yamuna and Boadicea, and the course is one she is not so liable to shut up over. On Tuesday there is the Royal Stakes, which has dwindled down to a match between Columba and Barter, the former being the most trustworthy Across the Flat, as her performance over a mile course at Doncaster was superior to that of Barter. The Ciearwell Stakes has two score of candidates from which the field can be made up, and with no public performers among them better than Knight of Snowden, Sonchamp, Crisis ( 31b ex tra), and the Calista colt, the dark division ougtit to muster in strong force, for little is known concerning the form of the lot beaten by Sonchamp in France on Sunday last. This dark lot includes Messman, a colt by Rataplan out of Selina ; Planet, a coltbyLambton out of Starlight; Promenade, a filly by Saunterer out of Hybla ; Hark Forward, a colt by Leamington out of Go- Ahead ; Gownsman, a colt by Surplice out of Avenger's dam ; and New York, a colt by Newminster out of Mary Aislabie ; and as they all had good reputations once, we may see the majority in the field. Still, the victory © f Sonchamp, and the many admirers he always had at Newmarket, must constitute him our ally among what may turn out a moderate lot after all, if he is not the " good thing" the Frenchman made of Hospodar in this same event last season. The Cesarewitch Handicap gave such satisfaction that it has been heavily speculated upon ever since the weights appeared, and a great number have remained in the market up to this writing, the field being not unlikely to number upwards of two dozen, selected from the following:— of a length by Knowsley at Ascot, when giving him 71b, while at Newmarket, a month afterwards. Umpire beat- Wingrave the same distance when in receipt of 41b. They are thus very fairly weighted on paper : but as Umpire ran game at Newmarket, and a coward at Ascot, Wingrave ought to have the preference. The Select Stakes, for three year olds, R. M., will prove an in- teresting affair if Carnival should be opposed by Summerside, Cairncastle, Roman Bee, and Port Royal, for they are all in the Cambridgeshire; still, supposing Carnival to represent Mr Naylor in place of the 71b penalised Macaroni, we cannot doubt his suc- cess, whatever may enter an appearance against him. In the 50 sovs Sweepstakes the severity of the Criterion Course may ensure Fiile de l'Air's defeat of Linda; and the moderate character of his opponents will materially assist Annington in placing the Bedford Stakes to his owner's account: but how to choose between a pair of wretches like Curac- oa and Water Kelpie for the Beaufort Stakes is a puzzler, and we can only point out that when the pair were beaten easily by Turcos in the spring, Curagoa obtained second place. There are only two complete events in Thursday's list, and one of these, the 500 sovs Sweepstakes— looks like a walk over for Onesander. In the Bretby Stakes there are five dark candidates opposed to seven public horses, of which Rigolboche has done the best, and her form is not within 201b of A I. On Friday there will probably be as good a field for the Pren- dergast as for the Ciearwell, unless the result of the latter should tend to spoil it. Planet., Promenade, Knight of Snowden, Son- champ, and the Calista colt, with several others, being engaged in both events. Whatever Tuesday's race may bring forth, neverthe- less, will have formidable opponentsto meet in Outlaw ( 31b extra), the Brother to Bird on the Wing colt, the Moestissima filly ( 6ib extra), and Yamuna ( 61b extra), although if Sonchamp should win or run respectably in the Clearwell, he will be the most trust- worthy herein. A 100 sovs Sweepstakes may fall to the lot of Rigolboche, if she can beat Becky Sharpe ; and one of 200 sovs ought to be picked up by Practitioner; Anfield having the best chance in the Free Handicap 8weepstake « . A match between a pair of moderate two year olds comprises the other item in the programme in a condi- tion for us to deal with, and this may be won by Little Savage. age st lb BaronRothsehild'sWingrave4.. 8 12 Mr R.

DCNSTAN RACES.— This small meeting takes place on Wednes- day, Oct 21. Hilly Grove was sold to Mr C. Rayner at Bedford on Wednes- day last, for 50 sovs, Thi steeple chase horse Charlie, while at exercise at Westbury on Monday last, dropped down dead in his gallop.

The steeple chase horse Mont Blanc, by Mountain Deer, died at the establishment of Mr Fraser, veterinary surgeon, Limerick, on Saturday, Oct 3, after undergoing an operation. Mr John Carey has named his bay or brown colt foal by Wind- fawmd out of Adelaide, by West Australian, Duke of York; and his ehssnut filly foal by Windhound out of Eugenie, by Daniel O'Bau^ ke, Dreadnought, DONCASTER RACES.— In future the liberal sum of 200 sovs will be added to the Great Yorkshire Handicap at Doncaster, and we nndarstand that several of the other stakes will have an accession of added money. The well- known chesnut- hunter ShawnBuidhe, the property of J„ L Holmes, Esq, of Carrigmore, county Cork, Ireland, has J> eeti bought by Mr Weatherby, of London, for £ 350, and goes into the stables of the Emperor of France. ( Those printed In Italics are doubtful starters.) Out of the above there are eight three year olds backed, viz, Blackdown, Fantail, Blithfield, Blondin, Jack ef Hearts, Oakapple, Romanoff, and Sandford, with weights ranging from 7st 51b to 5st, 131b— exactly 201b; but the four year olds have been supported for most money, Wingrave, Harlequin, Limosina, Drummer Boy, and Lioness including many better favourites than the more numerous body of three year olds, whom they meet, on the whole, with all the best of the weights. There is 181b between them ; and while Wingrave meets the heaviest weightedthree year old, and the best favourite of them all ( Blackdown), with but 51b the worst of racing weights, andLionessandDrummerBoy have anadvantageof about 51b overthe lightest weighted of them ( Sandford), the talents appear justified in despising^ the fact that the Cesarewitch has been won by eleven three year olds on previous anniversaries against seven four year olds. The five year olds and upwards have been half a dozen times successful, although they are generally in such a minority at the starting post; and Umpire, Twilight, and Em- blem have a sufficient advantage in the weights with the majority of their opponents on this occasion to represent that body in a worthy manner, for Umpire, who carries 71b more than Twilight, and 151b more than Emblem, ha3 but 81b the worst of the weights with Sandford, and 121b the best of it with Blackdown. He also meets the " feathered" four year olds, Drummer Boy and Lioness, with less than a stone disadvantage, and on public form he is so infinitely superior to these that, but for his cowardice, he would be handicapped to give them at least two stone. The six year old Cur, and the five year olds Audrey and Muscovite, suc- ceeded in winning this event with more weight than Umpire has to carry; and the four year olds Clarion, Coranna. Qlauca, and Vengeance carried home weights ranging from 7st 71b to Sst, so that it would not be a brilliant performance for a six year old to win with 8st lib— nothing to be compared with the triumph of Faugh a Ballagh at 8st, or of The Baron at 7st 91b. The statistics of the Cesarewitch, in fact, give the three year olds with weights ranging from 7st 51b to 5st 131b, the four year olds with from Sst 121b to 6st 81b, and the elder horses with from 8st lib to 7st, every encouragement; for out of the whole sixteen that have been supported for anything like " money" coming within the above categories, only Wingrave is called upon to accomplish an unprecedented feat; and the third place ob- tained by Asteroid last year, with 9st 21b, is encouraging enough for his friends. For the forthcoming anniversary, a medium- weighted four year old, Limosina, holds the position of first favourite, her stable companion, Dulcibella, having so easily defeated Drummer Boy at Doncaster, that, after the latter's trial on Monday last, those who know the relative merits of the two mares think Limosina a real " good thing," as they believe she must hold Drummer Boy safe. Her public form is not A 1, as she was " nowhere'' in last year's City and Suburban, and only second in the Cambridgeshire, wi^ h almost the lightest weight carried in either race; and the only victory she can boast of is a head defeat ef Q. E. D. when in receipt of 121b over a mile. Neither has she ever travelled more than a mile and a quarter in public; and consequently she occupies her position on account of a private reputation, as the second for the Cambridgeshire, with Sst 101b, would make her anything but a good thing for the Cesarewitch, with 7st 31b. Lioness is in the same position, for, when taking into considera- tion she was unplaced to Feu de Joie in the Yorkshire Oaks last year, in receipt of a stone, and beaten off from Golden Dust and Fontenoy with all the best of the weights at the late Reading Meeting, she may be said to have never " performed" in public, these being the only occasions of her showing. It was The Knave's running with Jack of Hearts and Caller Ou for the Queen's Plate at Doncaster that brought her into notoriety, as she is reputed to be close enough to The Knave at home for Jack of Hearts to have 110 chance with her when in receipt of lib only ; and as Jack looks so formidable on paper, she is bound to be even more so, unless they have made a great mistake at Russley. Still, private trials are so deceptive occasionally, that the idea of Limosina holding Drummer Boy so very safe through Dulcibella, and of Lioness holding Jack of Hearts safe through The Knave, may prove erroneous, although the appearance of Limosina would always warrant any one in supposing she can give 71b to Dulcibella, as is asserted. Drummer Boy has one great advan- tage over the two mares in the fact that his public form is almost as good as his private reputation, for he was only in receipt of 31b from Dulcibella in the Great Yorkshire Handicap, when carrying 91b more than he is called upon to do now, and meets Blithfield, whom he beat a length for second place, on 91b better terms on Tuesday next. The latter is considered to have a good outside chance by many, and on that account Drummer Boy must appear even more formidable, for he has done all that was asked of him at home, and, with such trying tackle in the stable as Anfield, Macaroni, and Isoline, Godding's division can hardly have made a mistake, and the commission seat into the market last Monday would seem to betoken how confident they must be. Blackdown and Jack of Hearts are handicapped to an o'unce on their running with Change, who " split" Oldminster and Jack of Hearts, it will be recollected, at Wolverhampton; and thus, if we may follow Drummer Boy's defeat of Oldminster and Change for second place at Doncaster, he has both the Lewes horses safe, for Drummer Boy beat Oldminster at 61b less difference in the weights than there was between the latter and Change at Wolverhampton, arid we had no right to suppose after Doncaster that Oldminster could give him more than a stone. The Boy thus reads at least lClb better than Jack of Hearts, and, as he gives him but 31b, we are bound to suppose he will beat both the Lewes horses— which his stable ought also to make pretty certain of, with Anfield to assist them. Lord Coventry's pair. Umpire and Emblem, have both received so much support that it seems probable his lordship is determined upon having two strings to his bow; but we cannot discover one performance of Emblem that will give her a chance of winning a two mile and a quarter race in good company, even with a light weight like 7st, for when running second to Cosmo- polite at Warwick two years back— her best performance— she was beaten very easily, and the moderate Aneurin was third. We are thus compelled to look upon Umpire as the better horse of the two; and as the Cur won the Cesarewitch with 8st 31b, it is on the cards for Umpire, with 8st lib, to follow in his footsteps, for he has run kindly enough since he went into Lord Coventry's keep- ing ; and if he is only in the same form as in the Metropolitan— where he ran soft as ever, and yet was neck and neck with Haddington, Canary, Bedouin, and Adventurer, giving them from 101b to 181b— next Tuesday's task would be about the easiest he has ever been put to. Romanoff, Oakapple, and Sandford have run such moderate horses in public that we cannot believe them capable of competing with Drummer Boy at such a slight difference in the weights for the year; and when Faritail, Blondin, arid Blithfield are giving the Boy weight, besides the year, their friends must depend on the chapter of accidents and Godding's party making a great blunder when giving them their support, for with Macaroni to try Drummer Boy with, they must be dunces indeed to let oneofthe heavily weighted three year olds beat their " crack." Wingrave, too, would be made safe by the " trial," and Twilight " is the only outsider they cannot make certain of beating, for Harlequin, Hurri- cane, and Buckenham were pretty accurately measured by them when Isoline beat Harlequin in the Queen's Plate at Newmarket, besides which Hurricane and Buckenham have both gone wrong, and it is doubtful whether either will put in an appearance. Harlequin would stand a fair chance of win- ning if they could only get him to run kindly; of which, however, we have such grave doubts, when he is in a crowd of horses, that we must decline rowing with him. We are more inclined to look for the winner among such a lot as Umpire, Limosina, Drummer Boy, and Lioness ; and while afraid te put implicit faith in the uncertain Umpire, we must pin our faith to LIMOSINA OR DRUMMER BOY as the most likely to carry oft the twenty- fifth Cesarewitch. [ The above calculations have been in a great measure upset by the " coming" of Summerside to- day ( Saturday), she having done enough in her " trial" this morning to satisfy her party and us as to her formidable pretensions. We always held her in the highest esteem, and it is quite on the cards for her to win, when receiving 201b for the year from Limosina, as the good three year old she has undoubtedly proved herself ought to beat Lord Stamford's mare at the weights.] Both Lord Burleigh and Garotter, who are matched at 251b for the two years, having been out of all form in their last showing in public, no importance will attach to the issue, the only interesting Match for the week comprising that between Wingrave and Knowsley, on Wednesday, wherein the former gives away 71b, over the D. M. They have both met Umpire on a short course, the American horse having been beaten three parts A LAY OF THE CESAREWITCH. The " Leger" now is past and gone, With great success for me. Lord Clifden, running as he did, Could never beaten be. The withered leaves are falling fast From many an aged tree ; And Autumn comes with hasty steps, A dreary sight to see. The racing season, too, methinks, Is very nearly o'er ; Newmarket only now remains, And then ' twill be no more. My dreams again are troubling me, And in each leisure minute, I muse on the Cesarewitch, And all the horses in it. I thought, till some few days ago, That Anfield ought to win; But now he's gone— his backers, too, Have all been taken in. And then there's gallant Drummer Boy, Some say he'll win the race; But surely he's not good enough To get more than a place. Lord Stamford thinks he's safe enough To " pull it off" this year; But Limosina cannot stay So long a course, I fear. Come, time is short, and I can't stay To write much more in verse; And so the details of my dream To you I'll now rehearse. Each favourite took the lead in turn, Till, when the race was done, Brave Twilight had the second place, But LIONESS held her own. SOMNIOSUS. SECOND OCTOBER PROGRAMME OF NEWMARKET MEETING.

BRIDGEWATER AND WEST SOMERSET RACES.— The Borough Members' Stakes have been paid to Mrs Osbaldeston's Rosa, on the ground that Southampton did not carry the penalty ( 51b) for winning a 50 sovs Plate at the last Plymouth Races. BEDFORD RACES. Stewards: H. Thornton, Esq, and Capt Christie. Judge: Mr Clark. Starter: Mr Marshall. Clerk of the Course: Mr Rogerson. In contradistinction to the Coventry Meeting— to prevent clash- ing with which that of Bedford was shifted a day onward— the latter was a decided success, as indeed it is always likely to be, so intimately is it is mixed up with Cesarewitch traditions, and sensational movements. Apart., however, from the especial attraction alluded to, the racing on Wednesday was really inte- resting, and, although the card did not exhibit a very plethoric appearance, the majority of those " set down" proved starters so that the fields were most respectable, and the attendance, which included a goodly number of " gentlemen," very large, despite the somewhat unfavourable aspect of the weather. The Preparation Stakes attracted eight of the entered ten to the post, and of these Middlewatch was made rather a warm favourite, Reserve being the only other backed for any money. The favourite pulled his backers through easily enough, but pulled up so leg weary that he could scarcely limp back on re- turning to scale, and it was generally surmised that he had broken down; such, however, was not the case. No fewer than ten of the entered thirteen put in an appearance for the Two Year Old Stakes, and of these Soumise, a French- bred filly by Pretty Boy out of Lady Bird, for whom the maiden allowance was claimed, started the best favourite ; although on a written protest against her on the ground that she was not entitled to the same— having won on the Continent— being posted in the ring, she receded from 2 to 1 to 3 to 1. She won easily enough, but was instantly objected to again, and the race was claimed for Faith, against whom as much as 10 to 1 was laid at starting. The Stewards were instantly appealed to, and the fact intimated to them that Rule IV, which defines what a " maiden horse'' truly is, had this year been altered. Neither the sheet Calendar nor any other recognised authority by which the vexed question could be fairly determined was, however, on the spot, and so it was determined to let the case stand over until next week for the decision of the Jockey Club. Here, slightly digressing, we may just revert to the time when foreign bred horses were so inferior to the English that the only inducement for them to compete with us was to give thern an ex- travagant allowance. This was all very well in years gone by, and in the days when the poet Co wper wrote most sarcastically, yet truly, " We justly boast At least superior jockcyship, and claim Tile honors of the Turf as all our own." Tempora mutantur, however; and so a few years since it was found expedient to modify the conditions of the Goodwood Cup as regards " horses bred on the Continent," for what with importing English blood stock, and importing or borrowing English jockeys, our worthy allies, the French, began to make it rather too warm for us on such unequal ground. And so, too, it was that Admiral Rous, taking a fair and impartial view of the case, moved, at a full meeting of the Jockey Club on the Friday in the last " First Spring Meeting," that Rule IV.—" A maiden horse or rnare is one that never won a plate or sweep- stakes"— should be amended by the addition of the words " in any country;" an amendment that was carried nem con. This, then, was the ground on which the objection was founded, and pending the decision of the Jockey Club, we opine it does not require any " prophetic soul" to foretell what the decision of the club will be, as certain alterations or additions to other rules, as agreed to at the same meeting, came at once into force. Baliverne, fancied by her party after her compara- tively recent success, was made the favourite for the Town Plate, while the two year old Rothschild ( by Midas out of Clelia), a remarkably good goer, was in some request. The latter, how- ever, after playing all sorts of pranks at the post, bolted soon after starting, and ran into a ditch or pond, while Baliverne had to succumb to Atlas, who, running in the same interest as Roths- child, was not backed for a shilling ! The winner was bought in for a trifie over his entered price, and the runaway namesake of the millionaire was claimed for Lord Westmoreland. Although only half a dozen contested the Bedfordshire Stakes, it was still a very " open" race, Lord of Linne, from his recent performance, b - ing mostly in demand ; while Oberon and old Gibraltar were next in esteem, and the latter, carrying the top weight — 9st 51b ( including 51b extra)— defeated the favourite very cleverly by half a length; although having to run a left- hand course, and hanging to the left likewise all the way, Custance, as he averred, never rode a more difficult race. For the Consolation 8takes Rubini, " the selected," won cleverly all the way. Although no startling changes took place on either the Cesarewitch or Cambridgeshire, some significant movements were made. For the former Lioness was very firm, and, as on the Monday at Tattersall's, a oetter favourite than Drummer Boy; while Limosina fluctuated considerably, for whereas at one time as much as 100 to 7 was laid against her; 10 to I was again taken at the close. The " jumping" Emblem, too, shot ahead of her stable companion. Umpire, for the former advanced to 100 to 6, and 25 to 1 was laid against the latter. Catch ' em Alive, as at Tattersall's, remained nominally at 100 to 8 for the Cambridgeshire, but on the platform at Bedford, whilst waiting for the train, 1000 to 100 was taken " with a start." Although there were just as many events provided for Thursday as on the previous day, the card did not attract such a good as- semblage of general company, there being a perceptible decrease in the number of ladies in the Stand, and yet the actual sport exhibited no falling off, the Hunters' Stakes, which re- opened the ball, bringing together eight of the ten entered. They were, how- ever, but a sorry lot, when old Rockley proved the superior at weight for age, his triumph creating no little surprise, and afford- ing the Ring almost a " turn- up,'' as very few stood the horse after his running with Tourist at Coventry, and there was no claimant for him at the stipulated fifty sovs, easily as he won. Another field of eight " went in" for the Scurry, and they were all fancied, more or less, as a proof of which 10 to 1 was taken that the layers could net pick a loser, the majority being so kindly supported up to the last that from 7 to 4 ( her opening price) the favourite, Miss Julia, declined to nearly double those odds at last. There was a brief delay at the start., but the lot finally got away on pretty even terms, the old mare taking the lead soon after starting, and never giving her friends the slightest uneasiness afterwards. The five entered for the Two Year Old Selling Stakes were quickly at the post, and the lost time was recovered, as they got away almost the first time of asking, the race resulting in favour of Prescription, whose defeat of Salvioni at Doncaster, strange to say, did not prevent the talent making the latter the better favourite. There was some competition for the winner, a small but pretty wiry- looking filly, when " put up,'' which the fund got all the benefit of, as she fetched £ 130 over her entered price, and now forms one of Wadlow's team at Stanton. The Stratton Park Stakes, like the preceding race, brought out all the lot entered, and produced a magnificent race, French waiting so patiently with the favourite, Equinox, that many thought she was out of the race until reaching the half mile post, from which point she gradually crept up, and, obtaining the lead from sheer game- ness within a few strides of the chair, struggled home the winner by a head. The concluding event, the Queen's Plate, became quite an event when it turned out Isoline was to meet Gibraltar, and the betting between the two was very heavy, despite a report that the mare was a little off"; the old horse, however, always had the call, and the Goodwood Cup victress being in trouble some distance from home, he beat her with even greater ease than he did Caller Ou at Canterbury, showing there was no mistake in his performance on Wednesday, when giving so much weight away, and winning the handicap. Isoline pulled up sadly tired, but her defeat did not affect Drummer Boy's price for the Cesare- witch, although he had to give way during the afternoon, as did also Lioness, to Limosina, who was in great force, and backed freely at 10, 8, 7, and finally 6 to 1. The other features of the wagering comprised the return to his old price of Umpire, who repassed his companion Emblem ; the firm support conceded to Romanoff'and Sandford; and the decline of Buckenham and Hurricane; Band- ford having been backed at evens against the Findon horse, while Hurricane was sent almost out of the market, Blondin too. we may note, was backed at 50 to 1 during the wait on the Bed- ford platform. The other transactions on this event will be found below, besides what little actual business was done on the Cambridgeshire. Some much- needed improvements in the weighing department will be carried out by another year, and could the management contrive to add a new telegraph board, whereon the jockeys' names could be displayed as elsewhere, the acquisition would be a welcome one. WEDNESDAY, OCT 7.— The PREPARATION STAKES of 20 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, 3 ft, for three year olds and upwards; the winner to be sold for 150 sovs, & c ; gentlemen riders; professionals 61b extra; once round; 10 subs.

The latter made play, with Zeloo, Reserve, and Fletton in close attendance, Petersham next, and Middlewatch, under waiting orders, last. They ran in the order named for three parts of a mile, when the favourite began to improve his position, pulling double. The Baron of Avon and Reserve, however, continued in advance to the distance, when Mr Thompson let out Middlewatch, who immediately went to the front, and won easily by a length and a half, half a length sepa- rating the second and third; moderate fourth ; Try finished last, beaten a long way. The winner, who pulled up very leg weary, was not claimed. The Two YEAR OLD STAKES of 10 sovs each, with 50 added; colts 8st 101b, fillies 8st 7ib; winners extra; maidens allowed 71b; last half mile; 13 subs.

After several failures, caused entirely through the eagerness of several jockeys to get off, a pretty " good start was effected. Faith, a trifle in advance, was followed by Vandervelde, Birthday filly, Touch Not, and Sou- mise in the order named. They ran thus to the distance, when 8oumise, full of running, obtained the lead, was never again headed, and won easily by two lengths, the same distance sepa- rating the second and third ; Birthday filly was close up with Vandervelde, Junius was fifth, Confederate sixth, and Alea and Pelios the two last, beaten a long way. Run in 55see. An objec- tion was made to Soumise previous to the race, on the ground that she had no right to the maiden allowance, having won on the Con- tinent. A further objection was made after the race, and the Stewards eventually determined to refer the matter to the Jockey Club, and it will be decided at Newmarket next week. The TOWN STAKES of 25 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 3 sovs each, for all ages, with selling weight allowances; three quar- ters of a mile; 7 subs. Mr W. E.

Abernethy made play, with Atlas in close at- tendance, Supple and Baliverne next. No change occurred in these positions until they reached the distance, when Atlas de- prived Abernethy of the lead, and won by half a length; bad third; Abernethy was fourth, and Supple fifth. Rothschild bolted soon after starting, ran into a pond, and took no further part in the contest. The winner was bought in for 47gs, and Rothschild was claimed by Mr Burbidge for Lord Westmoreland. The BEDFORDSHIRE STAKES of 70 sovs, 50 sovs given by his Grace the Duke of Bedford, and 20 sovs by W. H. Whitbread, Esq, added to a Handicap of 20 sovs each, h ft; the second saved his stake; winners extra; two miles ; 27 subs, 14of whom declared.

Tourist made the running at a strong pace, with Syco- phant, West End, Gibraltar, Oberon, and Lord of Linne following in the order named, and they ran thus as nearly as possible for the first mile and a quarter," when Sycophant retired from the front, and Gibraltar began to draw forward. Tourist, however, still maintained the lead, and half a mile from home Lord of Linne, who had been lying off, obtained third place, while Oberon retired to the rear beaten. The race appeared now entirely between Tourist, Lord of Linne, and Gibraltar, and the latter de- prived Tourist of the lead half way up the distance, and won easily by half a length ; the favourite saving his stake a neck from Tou- rist. West End was a bad fourth, Oberon fifth, and Sycophant last, beaten off. Run in 3min olsec.

Baliverne made play, with Hilly Grove, Abernethy, Pounce, and Devotee in close attendance in the order named, Vet, who appeared unable to go the pace, bring- ing up the rear. There was but little change in these positions until a quarter of a mile from home, when Rockley began to draw to the front, obtained the lead at the distance, and won easily by a length and a half, a neck between the second and third; Abernethy was fourth, Atlas fifth; Hilly Grove and Vet were the last two.

After several at- tempts a good start was eff'eoted, Mrs Somerviile only hav- ing a little the worst of it. Don't Come Late, Lady Abbess, Mi6S Julia, and Duke of Cambridge immediately showed in advance, and after running in very close company for three hundred yards Miss Julia obtained a clear lead, continued it throughout, and won very easily by two lengths, Xurullo defeating Vigil for second place by a head ; Bolero was a bad fourth, Mrs Somerviile fifth, Lady Abbess sixth, Don't Come Late seventh, and Duke of Cam- bridge last, who with the latter was beaten a long way.

The 13axon of Avon, Acta; on, and Zeloo ran in close company several lengths in advance of the others; the favourite next; Reserve, who got off badly, bringing up the rear. When three parts of a mile had been covered Reserve, who had made up his lost ground, was lying second, but he very soon afterwards became in trouble and retired to the rear. At the dis- tance Margery, who had been running under waiting orders, rushed to the front and joined Zeloo, ana Equinox coming at the same time, the trio raced home together, and after a most exciting struggle Equinox won by a head ; same between the second and third ; Actceon was fourth, Baron of Avon fifth, Fletton sixth, and Reserve last, beaten off.

Gibraltar made play, with Isoline and Camperdown in close company, Blondin next, and Iambic, who did not get well off, last. They ran in the order named for about five hundred yards, when Iambic rushed to the front, making the pace very hot, and continued in advance for a mile and a quarter, when Gibraltar deprived him of the lead. Nearing the 8tand the first time, however, Isoline obtained the command, Gibral- tar arid Iambic lying, close together, next, Camperdown fourth, and Blondin last. When nearly two miles had been traversed the pace told upon Iambic, for he rolled about like a ship in distress, and retired to the rear completely used up. Gibraltar now had a slight lead, but was hard pressed by Isoline, Camperdown being also well up. Just below the dis- tance Isoline made her final effort, and again got alongside Gib- raltar, but Custance sent the old horse along, and the race was never again in doubt, for he soon obtained a commanding lead and won by fifteen lengths. Blondin struggled in second; Cam- perdown was a very bad third ; Isoline walked in next, but did not pass the winning post. Iambic tailed off' a long way— had not arrived when the judge left his box. The pace was particu- larly good throughout, and the horses were all " dead beat'' bar the winner. Run in 6min 5sec.

In consideration of the distress prevailing at Coventry last winter, and the calls made daily upon the better- to- do population for its alleviation, the committee, with becoming taste, abandoned the spring meeting, but committed an unfortunate mistake in shifting the fixture to so early a period in the autumn, when neither cross- country horses could possibly be fit nor fences safely divested of their full livery of green. This was the more to be regretted, seeing that no races could be more honourably con- ducted or yet anxiously welcomed as a local holiday, second in attraction only to the great Godiva carnival; besides enjoying the patronage of military gentlemen, here at all times to be found in quarters, whose liberal subscriptions and themselves taking part in the diversion, now " helped over the stile " what otherwise must have been an insufferably tame affair. In full anticipation of a failure, without the power of averting it, Mr Merry, the " working bee " of the management, requests us to state that in future the meeting will be held in March, before which time, it is to be hoped, the authorities will see the propriety of again falling back on a single day's sport. On Monday the course was thronged, and dotted with " red coats," when, at two o'clock, Light, with 3 to I on her, beat Stainley in the Two Year Old Stakes, the latter, however, sticking so close to the winner that the takers ot odds confessed t ® having had a race for their money. With regard to other events, it will be seen in the usual place how in the Selling Plate, Grimshaw the younger, on Howsham, came grinning home with neither opponent in sight, as also the easy way in which Tourist, in the Coventry Handicap, brought more grist to Mr Cockins's mill. As for the Military Sweepstakes, promoted by Col Clarke and the officers of a detachment of Scots Greys, sta- tioned in the town, it seemed a thousand pities that a spiritedly contested prize should have nad so vexatious an ending— to wit, the rider of the horse coming in first being unable to draw his weight on returning to the scale. The bridle was fetched in, but even this failed to turn the balance, whereupon it was discovered that a saddle- cloth weighed out with had been acci- dentally left behind. Of nine entered for the Craven Steeple Chase only It's All Over put in an appearance, and having can- tered down to the post in compliance with the new law ( merely on this occasion for his own stake and bets made in London, the forfeits going to the fund), the proceedings terminated early. In the absence of the metropolitans ( at Tattersall's) speculation was anything but brisk, and might have passed unnoticed but for the advance of Emblem - for the Cesarewitch from 33 to 1 to eight points less. The sport on Tuesday, opened with the'principal han- dicap on the fiat. Rockley was made the favourite, but what with being outpaced at the commencement and lying out of his ground, he at last came just too late to snatch the race from Tourist, who had held him cheap in the concluding hundred yards. The amalgamation of two matches made overnight with the military chargers into a mile spin with the four, next afforded a ge- nuine bit of racing, Grey Friar, disqualified yesterday, running home a clever winner, with weight " all serene" to- day. Ovsjj^ two showing for the Hurdle Race, the committee, rather' than it should be void, allowed the added money, which Jacob easily carried away. Five ran for the Hunters' Race, though at a mile two only were left in it, Miss Amy, the win- ner, most capitally steered by Mr T. Ivens, and Master Oliver, a son of Windhound. Both, however, are out of the same dam, a daughter of Knight of Gwynne, and bred by Mr Hewatt, of Nettle Hill, near Coventry. Although rumours were pretty well circulated that there would be no steeple chasing, the crowd along the upland ground and at other points was as great a3 ever by the time appointed on the card. By a little " wiring " in the forenoon, three performers went to the post, but all interest in the tourney soon evaporated by one going no farther than the starting field, while a second coming to grief soon after it began, left the other, Harriett Watts, to go in and win as she pieased. This terminated the racing, thus enabling the free and independent electors to give undivided attention to their great parliamentary match on the carpet. MONDAY, OCT 5.— The Two YEAR OLD STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 30 added; colts 8st 101b, fillies 8st 71b ; with certain penal- ties and allowances; about ha! f a mile ; 7 subs.

Both jumped the hedge into an adjoining field, and unshipped the boys, but without injuring either, Howsham thus cantering in by himself, but found no bidder at the hammer. BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, OCTOBER 10, 1863. The COVENTRY PLATE of 25 sovs, added to a Handicap of 5 sovs each ; winners 71b extra : one mile. Mr Lincoln's Tourist, by Daniel O'Rourke, 3 yrs, 8st H.

Plumb 4 Betting: 7 to 4 agst Jacob, 2 to 1 each agst Tourist and Fon- fcenoy, and 5 to 1 agst Golden Drop. Tourist made play a length or so in advance of the favourite to the straight, where Fontenoy, • who prior to starting had been round the course on his own ac- count, became second, but was immediately rejoined by Jacob, and both reached the girths of the leader at the distance, who however shook them off in a few strides, and won easily by two lengths; Golden Drop three quarters of a length from the second, beating Pontenoy, whom he headed at the Stand, by about the same. A MILITARY BWEEPSTAKES of 2 sovs each, p. p., with a Purse added; 12st each; mares and geldings allowed 31b; one mile 7 subs.

They got away on capital terms at the first at- tempt, Prince Charlie and Mr Browning's mare slightly leading. The latter, however, soon fell back, and at a quarter of a mile was lengths last of everything. Grey Friar, with the best turn of speed, having meanwhile deprived Prince Charlie of the command. The latter, going on second, was thence succeeded by Godfrey and Badger, all in fact, with the exception named, continuing in com- pact order till making the turn home on the hill, when the Prince disappeared in the ruck, and Godfrey was left in attendance on Grey Friar to the final gap. Here Maniac, who met with a dis- appointment early in the race, came with a rush and reached the heels of the forward pair, the result of a gallant struggle being '" that Grey Priar ( holding his own to the end) came in first a length and a half in advance of Godfrey, who beat Maniac by a head. Badger next, close up with him. At an interval of two or three lengths Prince Charlie was fifth, Capt Parr's mare sixth, Mr Browning's last. At the scale, as explained elsewhere, the rider of Grey Friar foiled in drawing his weight, and the race was awarded to Godfrey. The CRAVEN STEEPLE CHASE PLATE of 60 sovs, added to a Handicap of 10 sovs each ( 2 ft to the fund); winners extra ; about four miles. Mr J. Bicli's ch h It's all Over, by Ma- gician, 5 yrs, 9st 121b G.

Plumb 3 Betting: Even on Rockley, 6 to 4 agst Tourist, and 2 to 1 agst Fontenoy. Commencing at the bottom of the straight, the pace became a " clipper" by Fontenoy and Tourist coming away together and racing for the lead to the top turn, where the latter ( next the rails) ran wide, carrying the other with him. From 4( iis point Tourist went on with a clear lead, followed by Fon- tenoy to about a quarter of a mile from home, when he was passed by Rockley, at one time lying eight or ten lengths in the rear, the latter directly after entering the straight putting on all the steam, and drawing upon Tourist at every stride, but never quite got up, and was defeated by a head, three lengths separating second and third. A MILITARY SWEEPSTAKES of 50 sovs each; one mile. Mr Philip's grg Grey Friar, list lllb Owner 1 Capt Nugent's gr g Badger, 12st Mr Wallace 2 Capt Browne's gr g Maniac, 11st lllb Owner 3 Capt Price's gr g Prince Charlie, list 101b Owner 4 Betting: 6 to 4 on Grey Friar, and 5 to 2 agst Maniac. Prince Charlie cut out the work, followed by Grey Friar, who at half a mile was pulled into the rear, after which the Badger took up the running, with Maurice lying second, to the bottom of the hill, where the favourite came again, took the lead at the half distance, and won cleverly by a length and a half; two lengths divided second and third; the Prince beaten off. A HURDLE RACE PLATE of 25 sovs, added to a Handicap of 5 sovs each : two miles, over five hurdles. Mr T. Hunt's Jacob, by The Ugly Buck, fiyrs, list lOlbKnott 1 Mr J. C. Heenan's Portland, 6 yrs. 9st 121b A.

Kate and the favourite ran in front for about one hundred yards, when the latter came out with a strong lead, being at least thirty yards ahead in passing the Stand. She was succeeded in the order named by Jeremy Diddler and Master Oliver abreast, The Widow next, Kate last. However, after completing the first round all were tailed away, save Miss Amy and Master Oliver, and the mare having the other safe all the way home, won easily by two lengths ; The Widow finished a shocking bad third, Jeremy Did- dler and Kate not passing the post. The GODIVA STEEPLE CHASE PLATE of 30 sovs, added to a Handicap of 5 sovs each; ahout, two miles and a half. Mr Nightingall's Harriett Watts, by Hospodar, 3 yrs, 9st 71b Owner 1 Mr J. Rich's It's All Over, ( h b), 5 yrs, lOst 71b Knott 2 Mr Crawford's Nike, aged, lflst Mr T. Ivens 0 Betting : 5 to 4 on Harriett Watts, 5 to 4 agst It's all over, and 6 to 1 agst Nike. The latter, twice declining the hurdles in his preliminary, only reached the post to renew, as soon as the word was given, his little " no go" game, and was left practising at the first fence. On the contrary, It's All Over, slipping the pair, showed the way fifty yards in advance of Harriett Watts to the railway- side brook, faced with some thick, high made bushes, and approached by a declivity— Knott ( a little puzzled by some boundary posts just previously in the way, but having nothing to do with the steeple chase course), being close upon the obstacle ere the horse had fair time for rising at it. The conse- quence was that, hitting it heavily sideways, the rider in a twinkling made acquaintance with the dammed- up water on the other side, It's All Over coming right upon him. Knott, unhurt, but drenched to the skin, soon, however, regained terra firma, and with assistance pulled the animal out of the brook and remounted, but again refusing, was thrown still further behind John Nightingall's mare, who fenced splendidly throughout, and passed the chair long before Mr Rich's horse was in sight; the latter, we believe, going the entire line, and canter- ing home amongst the crowd. NORTHALLERTON AND NORTH RIDING MEETING. Stewards: The Hon C. W. Fitzwilliam, J. Cookson, F. Bell, and G. E. Copley, Esqs. Judge: Mr R. Johnson, York. Starter Mr G. Dawson. Clerk of the Course: Mr J. H. Peart. FRIDAY, Oct 9.— This meeting brought the Yorkshire racing season of 1863 to a close. Northallerton is well situated, and is always liberally patronised by the Yorkshire trainers, being withintwelve miles of Middleliam, and an easy distance fromRich- mond and ~ Malton, with a railway communication to all three places. The North Eastern ran cheap trains from Leeds, York, Newcastle, Darlington, and other towns on the line, and there was consequently a very large attendance. The morn- ing was very wet, but as the day advanced it cleared up until after the Volunteer Plate was run for, when the rain again came down very heavily. Proceedings opened with the Two Year Old Stake, which Harvest Mell won in a canter. The Juvenile Selling Stake was won easily by Wisdom. Upperhand was made a warm fa- vourite for the Great North Riding Handicap, which Michael Scott, a new purchase for his present owner, who bought him for an old song, won very easily. Mr Osborne's filly by Lord Fau- conberg carried off the Volunteer Selling Stake, and was knocked down to Mr H. S. Thompson, for 36gs. The Broomfield Hunters' Stakes brought out a large field, and the favourite. Springbok, by Wild Dayrell, won in a canter. The Bedale Plate brought the first day's sport to a close, which Michael Scott won easily by two lengths. The course was heavy, owing to the rain, during the latter part of the afternoon. The Two YEAR OLD STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 25 added, for two year olds; colts 8st 101b, fillies 8st 71b; penalties and allowances; the Becond saved his stake; T. Y. C.; 5 subs. Mr C.

After one failure they got away, Eola being first off, but the favourite soon took the lead, and was never afterwards headed, winning in a canter by a length; the Tunstall colt took the second place at the distance, and ob- tained the second money by a neck; Charlotte Russe was tailed off a long way. The JUVENILE ( Selling) STAKES of 3 sovs each, with 25 added, for two year olds; colts 8st 71b, fillies 8st 31b; the second saved his stake; the winner to be sold for 30 sovs, & c; T. Y. C. ; 4 subs.

Sir Watkin cut out the work, with Wisdom and the Lord Fauconberg filly second and third. They ran thus to the distance, where Wisdom took the lead, kept it to the end, and won easily by half a length ; two lengths between the second and third. The Cripple was tailed off, and did not pass the post. No advance upon the selling price. The GREAT NORTH RIDING HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, 3 ft, with 60 added; the second saved his stake; winners extra; one mile and a half; 19 subs. Mr R.

Lisette cut out the work, followed by Hypermnestra and Upperhand to the farm- house, where Lisette died away, and Hypermnestra went on with the running, Upperhand and Michael Scott lying second and third. They joined at the bottom turn, and ran together to the distance, where Michael Scott got the best of his companions, and ran home an easy winner by a length ; two lengths between the second and third; bad fourth. Manchester was fifth, Lisette sixth, and Sledmere last. VOLUNTEERS' PLATE of 25 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 3 sovs each, for two year olds and upwards; optional selling - weights; T. Y.

Whitesocks was fifth, the Meteor mare, who was nearly knocked down in the race, was sixth, and The Flyer seventh. The Jew, Barmaid, and Nancy were the last three. The winner was objected to by the owner of the second horse, on the ground that Mr T. Price is not a gentleman rider. The BEDALE PLATE ( Handicap) of 30 sovs, for all ages; winners extra; T. Y. C.

Councillors: Sir P. A. Halkett, Bart; Colonel Mure, Robert Hay, Esq. Secretary: John Gillespie, Esq. Perth Hunt Stewards— Preses: W. Smythe, Esq. Stewards: Lieut- Colonel Drummond Hay, and James Small, Esq. Secretary: Geo Moncrieff, Esq. Judge: Mr Nightingale. The " fair city" of Perth has every reason to be proud of its beautiful scenery and aristocratic influence, but we regret that we cannot on the present occasion congratulate the " natives" on their love of the national sport, nor on the success that it has met with on the banks of the Tay, albeit the meeting was fairly represented as regards the upper ten, the multitude, however, being but scanty. Supported as the Eoyal Caledonian and Perth Hunts are with the sinews of war and first- class backing, they truly deserve, and undoubtedly would secure a higher position in the annals of racing had they a thoroughly energetic practical C. C. to work out details, and attract the greater attention of owners and trainers of horses from the numerous stables o'er the border. The three days' racing only embracing twelve events, or four per diem, might with advantage have been confined to two days, and it is to be hoped that the Royal Caledonian will in future either see to this or provide additional stakes, and make their meeting worthy the patronage and presence of the general public. The inclosure and weighing booths were ridiculously small, and unfitted for even the limited number present. Theweather was all that could be de- sired, and the Course in capital order. Amongst those present on the Grand Stand were the Earl of Buchan, Lord Stormont, Lord Charles Ker and party, Hon John Rollo, Sir J. S. Richardson, Sir G. Ramsay, Gen Richardson Robertson, ColKinloch, Col Christie, Col Moncrieff, Capt Harrison, Capt Sharp, Capt and Mrs Allen of Inchmartine, Messrs J. Grant of Kilgraston, Smythe of Methven, Sharpe of Hoddam, Paterson of Carpow, R. 8. Stewart of Dercu- lich, J. M. Graham of Murravshall, A. Turnbull cf Bellwood, J. G. Murray of Lintrose, W. Peddie of Blackruthven, A. H. Barclay of Paris, t. Whitson of Parkhill, J. Milne of Murrie, M. Benson of Collingwood, Cunningham of Prestonfield, Whyte- Melville of Benochy, a number of officers of the 74th Regt, 3d Hussars, & c. On the evenings of Wednesday and Friday balls were held in the County Buildings under the stewardship of the Hunts, and were well attended. The Caledonian Handicap brought only three to the post, and the betting opened with odds on Donne Canne, but latterly Joey Jones had the call, and justified the confidence re- posed in him by winning, with a little to spare. The Forty Sovs Plate only secured a like number of starters, and all being from one stable, there was no betting. The Caledonian St Leger proved a walk over for Alice, Bohemian being an absentee, while I'Anson, the only other interested, declined a contest on his part for the mere forfeits, the stewards having refused to give all or any added money. The Welter Stakes was more fortunate, six out of the seven entered faced the starter, and Sarah Ann, the favourite, won easily, but failed to realise a mite to the fund, although entered to " be sold for 30 sovs.— On the second day The Trial Stakes proved another gift to Unfashionable Beauty, her stable companion Alice beingnowhere, and Dick Swiveller within a neck of the winner. For the Perth Handicap, Bonny Bell was the favourite, and but for the mishap, of a dog crossing her path_ near the finish, would probably have reversed the judge's decision. The Selling Plate was awarded to Weatherwise, who came in first by a length, Sherwood, who was second being shut out within twenty lengths of the chair by the swerving of the former. Joey Jones, with 5 to 1 on him, won the Caledonian Cup easily. WEDNESDAY, OCT 7.— The CALEDONIAN HANDICAP of 10 sovs each, h ft, and 3 only if declared, with 80 added by the Hunt ; winners extra; two'miles.

On nearing the banks of the Tay Donne Canne challenged, but failed in overhauling Joey, who won by a length; bad third. A PLATE of 40 sovs, given by the Perth Hunt, added to a Stakes of 3 sovs each, 1 ft, for three year olds and upwards; winners extra; one mile and a half. Mr E. A.

TUESDAY, OCT 6.— This meeting came off over the same course as last year, which is all fine grass land [ situate not more than a stone's throw from the town. Held at so advanced a period of the season, it was not to be expected that many horses would be sent from a distance to compete for the prizes, consequently the entries in general were very limited. In running for the second heat of the Listowel Stakes, which were won cleverly by Pitman in three heats, Rudi- ments had the misfortune to drop one of her hind legs into a drain and put out her hip. The attendance was large, but the day wis broken and unsatisfactory. The course was very heavy going.

TUESDAY, OCT 6.— The fickle month of October, with its gales and rain- falls, has this season been very unfavourable for the enjoyment of field sports. The people of the county Waterford looked forward to the Lismore races this year with confidence, owing to the increased activity of the com- mittee, and their well- known desire to improve the meet- ing in every respect. A splendid stand- house, second only in magnitude to that of Limerick, but equal in sta- bility, was erected on the course, which is exactly one English mile round, and is situated adjacent to the town. Unfortunately for thousands of spectators of every degree, rain poured down, and the afternoon turned out a regular drencher. The nine weighted for the Waterford Plate having all accepted, there was a most interesting contest for the event, which resulted in a dead heat between Newcastle and Switch, and therefore a second encounter was required to set the matter at rest, in which Switch maintained his reputation for stoutness, and landed the money cleverly. The increasing inclemency of the afternoon left the stewards no alter- native but to post pone to the following day. The Duke of Devon- shire is at. present residing at his princely residence, Lismore Castle. Since his arrival his grace has been attending agri- cultural meetings, and improving his acquaintance with his tenantry. The COUNTY WATERFORD PLATE of 5 sovs each, 2 ft, with 80 sovs added ; the second saved his stake, and the winner paid 8 sovs to the fund ; about three miles, over a fair line of country.

After going little more than a mile Topthorn fell, and Ash Plant, pull- ing hard, broke the bit of his bridle. Switch and Fanny then ran together to the home turn, with Blush Rose and Newcastle close at their heels, and on turning into the straight the latter ran wide, and brought Switch with her. Ryan then brought up Newcastle, who answered gamely, and the race ended in a dead heat. Blush Rose was third, beaten a neck; and Fanny next. Rose and The Unknown fell the second time round. DECIDING HEAT.— Newcastle cut out the work, but in the run home was defeated by three parts of a length. WORCESTER STEEPLE CHASES.— There are only 13 subs to the Grand Annual Handicap, Bantam having been entered by mistake. NOMENCLATURE. Mr Fleming's: Bay filly by Newcourt out of Marpesia, 2 yrs Musk.

In the absence of the Duke of Butland, president of the club, Lord George Manners presided, and Mr Adeane was also present. A At the Bedford Agricultural Meeting, on Friday week, the spe- cial premium offered by Mr Barnard, the banker, for hunters, was awarded to Mr Macon, of Elston, for a chesnut four year old by Rochester, dam by Gilbert Gurney. Mr Gibbons's Lancaster, by Hesperus, was highly commended, and it was a very near thing between the two, but Mr Macon's horse was the handier on trial, and this turned the point in his favour. The entry also in- cluded a very useful black by Rochester, which was sent by Mr Battams, from Lidlington, where they generally have something of a good stamp. The judges were Mr H. Thurnall, of Royston, and Mr George Higgins, who acted for Mr H. Corbet, in the ab- sence of the latter. Mr Golby has sold Frank, the steeple chase horse, and Marie Agnes, with a filly foal by Gunboat, to whom the mare has been put again. Mr Golby has also recently disposed of the yearling filly by Loyola out of Marie Agnes, and purchased a yearling by Ethelbert out of Locket. Overton and Duntroon are now trained by him, as well as the following yearlings:— The Aristocrat, ches- nut colt, by Teddington out of Madrigal; Vigilant, black colt, by Vedette out of Corbeau: Le Cerf Agile, brown colt, by Acrobat, dam by Planet; Noisy Girl, bay filly, by Rataplan out of Ma Mie; Resurgam, brown flily, by Fright out of Guaracha; Isabella, brown filly, by Loyola out of Marie Agnes; Priestess, bay or brown filly, by Loyola out of Hopeless Star; Katharine, bay filly, by Petruchio out of Marquise; Dagon, bay or brown colt, by Mountain Deer out of Devotee's dam; and Rivets, chesnut colt, by Ethelbert out of Locket. Our contemporary, Bell's Life in Victoria, of July 4, has the following paragraph respecting Mr Chirnside, who is now in England, buying up blood stock for the colonies, and who was a large purchaser at the late Sledmere sale:—"^ Departure of Mr Thos. Chirnside for England.— We quite forgot last week to notice the departure, by the English mail, of Mr Thomas Chirnside— as ardent a sportsman as ever handled a gun or mounted a horse. As a patron of the volunteer movement his name has been ever before the public, and a more zealous votary of our great national institution— the Turf— there lived not on the continent of Australia. During his sojourn in the old country, it is Mr Chirnside's in- tention to purchase some blood stock for this colony, and no doubt his selections will be such as will help to raise the standard of the Australian race horse. Mr Chirnside's return to Melbourne will be sincerely welcomed, and may it be as speedy as possible!" KETTERING ROYAL YEOMANRY RACES.— These races came off on Tuesday, and attracted a large attendance. The first event was a Flat Race fora silver cup, given by the officers of the Ketter- ing troops; heats, one mile and a half: Six entered, but only four started, viz, Mr Hewitt's Corporal, Mr J. Burnaby's Jenny Lind, Mr Wilkinson's Gay Lass, and Mr Dunkley's Princess Royal. The latter, ridden by Mr Doig, won easily.— Next came a Hurdle Race, two miles course, for a sweepstakes of 1 sov each, with a purse added, for horses ridden by their owners, and the property of members of the troop. Mr J. Burnaby rode Jenny Lind, Mr Drage, jun, a mare the name of which was not stated, and Mr Doig Princess Royal. This time fortune favoured Jenny Lind.— A Pony Race for a sweepstakes of 5 sovs was won cleverly by an animal ridden by Master Harradine.— The day was wound up with a " buck feast " at the Corn Exchange. A RACING SOUVENIR.— The well- known publisher, Mr Mason, of King's- road, Brighton, has recently issued a series of phot ® - graphic portraits of eminent jockeys. The series consists of Chal- loner, Custance, A. Edwards, G. Fordham, J. Goater, and H. and J. Grimshaw ; and the artists— Messrs Hennan and Kent— have succeeded in producing admirable likenesses. As the above portraits are published at a very moderate price, they will doubtless sell extensively among the several admirers and suc- cessful backers of the originals. MARKET RASEN RACES.— At this little meeting, the Leger Stakes, a sweepstakes of 1 sov, with 10 added; heats, one mile and a half; was won by Mr Dodson's Spring Bob; four ran, and Mr Newman's Bolingbroke came in second. In the Hack Race, heats, one mile, four horses started for a sweepstakes of 10s each, and 5 sov silver cup; won ty Mr T. Wallis's Vanity, which also won in a match against Mr J. Nash's Bunghole. Four started in a Pony Race for a 3 sov saddle for the first, and a hunting whip for the second. Mr J. Rawlinson's Lady Muffit came in first, and Mr Lingard's Lucy second. NEW PATENT.— Our attention has this week been called to a patent for preventing injury to horses, either from restiveness or fright, during their transit by rail. The patentee is Mr Abraham English, inspector of police at Hatfield, and the invention, we are informed, has been already most satisfactorily tested during the conveyance down the Great Northern line of a very fractious horse. The leather strapping and " fixings" are very ingenious, and a fur- ther trial is likely to lead to its being generally adopted on the above line, and it will subsequently, no doubt, come into general requisition, as it is equally applicable on board ship as on railways. NEWMARKET.— The old Newmarket Town Plate, established in the 17th year of the reign of King Charles II., 1666, to be run for at Newmarket on the second Thursday in October for ever; 12st 21b each; heats, Round Course, came off on Thursday last asunder:— Mr A. Edwards's Tonio. by Rataplan, 5 yrs ( Mr W. Barrow, jun), 11 ; Mrs Willins's Nancy, aged ( Mr Reynolds first heat, Mr Frost second), 2 2; Mr C Green's Tautology, 4 yrs ( Mr E.

At the last meeting of the Council of the Royal Agricultural Society of Ireland, Sir John Power read the following statement, which had been communicated to him:—" The number of thorough bred horses bred in Ireland has decreased to a very great degree, and the quality of those produced has deteriorated to the lowest standard. As an exemplification of my opinion, I do not believe that there is a horse in Ireland that could win a 50 sov3 plate in England. In April last a bad* three year old ( Tourist) won the two Queen's Plates, and a very bad mare, sold as a hunt- tress, won the Mares' Plate. In June Tourist won three Queen's Plates, and could have won the fourth had he started— an unpre- cedented performance, no horse of any age ever having won the four plates except one, bred in Kilkenny, by Dr O'Reilly ( Master Tom). He was four years old. I do not approve of our Irish sires. I agree with all that Mr Ferguson says on this subject. The best opinions I ever discussed this subject with were of opi- nion that large, coarse horses given to small, weedy mares is a most objectionable practice. When well- shaped horses or mares are discovered they are immediately purchased for foreign countries, and even half bred sires and young half bred mares are greedily bought by foreign dealers. In a short time this practice will cause a dearth instead of an abundance of good and useful horses, and this country will cease to afford the supply required for military and hunting purposes, for which it was celebrated. As to mares, I consider a supply of them would be impracticable; not so with sires, as observed on by the professional gentlemen who so willingly and politely have sent their remarks to you on this subject. Were a stud farm established on the Curragh, where abundance of land is at the disposal of the Crown, I am of opinion that most important advantages would flow from it, and that it would be nearly, if not entirely, self- supporting. You have a proof of the interest which the Government took in this subject ... . in the document addressed by Sir William Temple to the Earl of i work abounds in pieces of advice as sound and useful as LITERATURE. CROQUET. By CAPT MAYNE REID ( Skeet, London).— The gallant author of so many works involving hair breadth escapes, fights with wild Indians, and other exciting adventures, has just tried his hand, and tried it most successfully too, in a very different and far more interesting style, at any rate to the fair sex. Tired of ranging the boundless solitudes of Nature unreclaimed, he is content to seek his open air sport upon a plot of grass " not larger than the floor of a good sized diriing- rootn,'' " carefully cut and frequently rolled," and •' the moss killed out of it," within the precincts of a modest English shrubbery. Well, Henry IV. of France was caught by an ambassador playing with children on the floor, and the Scalp- hunter may well' be allowed to " sur- render," as he says, " to the seductions of the charmer— Croquet." In an eloquent preface to this little treatise, Captain Mayne Reid describes Croquet" as the most attractive pastime of the age, as " in point of intellectuality, disputing the palm with billiards or whist, perhaps even with that selfish duality, chess;" as " highly conducive to health, while it has the advantage of most other out- of- door amusements, in afford- ing an easy exercise to the body without requiring the violent muscular exertion which renders many of these objection- able;" as keeping " the intellect, constantly on the alert;" as " adapted to people of all ages and every condition— the child just entering upon tbe walk of life, and the old man tottering towards its end;" as a game of true civilising influences; as worthy to be designated the " king of games," the queen of sports," or the " prince of pastimes ;" as destined ere long to " escape from aris- tocratic keeping, and become equally the property of the paddock and the village- green, and the pastime of the people;" and as a game of which the skill is not exclusive to either sex. " The pretty mignon foot," our advocate and expounder of croquet pathetically exclaims—" the " pretty mignon foot encased in kid may exhibit as much power in the play as the thick- soled chaus- sure of calf- skin." No doubt it may, and a great deal more, every croquet player of the " thick- soltd" sex will eagerly respond after watching a game of croquet in one of Mr Leech's exquisitely graceful sketches. The little work is a perfect guide to the game, and should find a place in every box containing the implements for this fascinating aid to flirtation. Our author has omitted one piece of instruction to elderly gentlemen, which we beg to supply —" if you feel the slightest twinge in that great toe, don't play. THE MASTER OF THE HOUNDS. By " SCRUTATOR'' ( London: Chapman and Hall).— Here is another to add to the list, of sport- ing novels. In addition, however, t ® many scenes and incidents of sporting life, all of which are very vividly delineated, there is a charming love plot which runs through the entire work, but which we are happy to chronicle ends, as it should do, to the satisfaction of the principal parties concerned, and to all others connected with them. To an English country gentleman nothing in the shape of literature is more heart- stirring than descriptions of the country life he so much delights in, nor can any page of such volumes be more gratifying to him than that which touches upon his favourite sports and pastimes. How welt " Scrutator'* knows how thorough bred fox- hunters ought to manage their hounds, let the following passage testify:—" The system adopted by Beauchamp in the management of his pack was of the silent order, with as little interference as possible in the field, to which must be attributed their uniform success in killing their foxes. Noise in man or hound being his aversion, he would allow of no holloaing or screaming from his field, which invariably occasions so much confusion, and the hounds were thrown silently into covert, and only spoken to occasionally to assure them of their master's presence. Although a fine melodious voice may be very pleasing to the ear, yet instead of its being ( as too often con- sidered) a great recommendation in a huntsman to a pack of foxhounds, it is most decidedly the reverse, particularly in a wood- land country, where in nine cases out of ten the fox will be un- kenneled by the huntsman instead of his hounds. We cannot so arrange, when the fixtures are made some time before, always or very often to draw up wind ; and a noisy, vociferous huntsman, when taking a line of coverts down wind, will disturb every fox ( unquestionably every good one) long before the pack can get upon his drag; in fact, a good fox will be off, and perhaps miles away, before the hounds reach his kennel. It is related of the famous Butterwick Jack, a fox which had beaten Mr Farquharson's Hounds in Dorsetshire for several consecutive seasons, that upon the slamming of a gate, ® r the sound of a horse's hoofs near the covert, he broke instantly away, and notwithstanding every precaution and the entire silence of the huntsman when throwing his pack into covert Jack was ever on the look out for squalls, and made so good a start that he in- variably beat his pursuers, and saved his precious carcase from their fangs. To prevent foxes being chopped in small spinnies or gorse coverts, a few cracks from the first whipper- in's whip as he approaches them will be quite sufficient to make any fox on. the alert which is worth hunting, and here, of course, a good huntsman will make rather more use of his voice. Foxes, how- ever, like weasels, are seldom caught napping, except perhaps on very windy day, and even then very rarely indeed." The Essex, in 1673, which I forward ; and I am informed that old documents are to be found in Dublin College and in Belgium which show that this subject was considered of great importance by the Irish kings, before the conquest. To my knowledge, the late Lord Sligo sold several horses at very high prices— one, a two year old, for £ 3,200, and contingencies. How is it possible for breeders in Ireland to compete with those in England, who pos- sess such immense facilities for breeding, and have such large studs, as, for instance, that of the late Sir Tatton Sykes, which is fully described in the auction lists of the sale to be held at Sled- mere ? Good sires, strong, bony, and free from disease, which is hereditary, assisted by the Irish soil, so well suited, as proved by experience, will, I hope, restore the breed of Irish horses to their former character. I am of opinion that there must be a good foundation for breeding; and. as we cannot hope to introduce mares, sires should be procured, occasionally changed, and their service regulated, as I believe it is on the Continent, or as those more competent than I am shall direct. Many of the above re- the above, and we might give large and copious extracts to show how entirely our author is devoted to the manly sport yclept hunting, and how well qualified he is to dilate on the exhilarating excitement of following the hounds. The description of the find at Park wood is capitally given, the reader following the hot eager chase of the fox with every line, which teems with animation. It is not tbe fastest rider who comes in at the death. If there is no science in fox huntir^ there is at least some method or system to be adopted, in default of which the reckless horseman too frequently comes to grief, often with ignominy, and it may be to the diversion of the spectators. " Scrutator" says well and wisely that " The more haste the less speed ; and a thorough good huntsman, however quick, ought never to be in a hurry. It is the same with hounds. A fast and quick hound are very distinct animals ; and a harey starey fellow, who, as Beckford says, would ride over a church if it came in his way, is generally the reverse of quick." We will not give our readers an inkling of the story, but leave it to them to become in- marks were made at the Irish Turf Club by the late Lord Angle- terested in Blanche, the lovely heroine, who will find as many sey, and very fully entered into by the late Sir Robert Peel in my : reading admirers as she is supposed ts have had in her legendary presence." A committee was appointed to inquire into the report existence ; and we trust that, all masters of hounds may resemble upon the subject. [* We can scarcely coincide with the opinion that Tourist is a bad three year old; while Union Jack is surely anything but a bad two year old ! J RACING FIXTURES FOR 1863. OCTOBER.

Al- though what may be termed a sporting novel, and the author has given proof of his close acquaintanceship with racing matters, he has judiciously avoided running into extremes, so that the general no less than the sporting reader will be amply repaid by the perusal of Sackville Chase. It is not necessary to analyse the plot, or rather plots, of the story— a story of wrong and retribution, and a story of craft and disappointment; suffice it to say that the interest is well sustained throughout, and the deyiouernent most exciting. Mr Collins is very happy, too, in the descriptive por- tions of his book, in proof of which we extract the fol- lowing sketch of the town and heath of Newmarket:— " Although Newmarket is as familiar as a household word in the mouth of every man who takes an interest in Turf matters, yet how few in the racing world can say that they have looked upon the place with whose name they are so intimate. New- market for centuries has been the centre of the racing world, and has hitherto been a guide- star to all other places in the country where race meetings have been established. Newmarket has a prestige which can never be destroyed while a love of the sport is inherent in the English heart. It is the spot where par excellence the greatest magnates of the Turf frequently, and almost exclu- sively, assemble to enjoy and practise the sport of which New- market is the centre. The power of their position is there felt more potently far than at any other meeting, no matter what its locality may be. At race meetings generally there is a levelling of all ranks; at Newmarket, on the contrary, there is the eleva- tion of one. Indeed, we might almost say that there is but one rank there, and that, the highest, A goodly street is the main street of Newmarket. Broad and ample, it' has an imposing ap- pearance, and cannot but strike the stranger. But how quiet it is ! Nothing in the place appears to move. Is it inhabited by a people permanently located here ? Standing in the centre of the town, one might almost doubt the existence of resident Newmar- ketonians. To be sure there are houses on each side to make up the noble street, but they must have been built to make up a show of a town. There are shops, too ; they have a ghostly appearance ; they never could have been meant for customers. There is an un- interrupted view of the town of Newmarket from one end to the other, and a stranger will not fail to observe the number of inns with which the place abounds, and which he can take in in one view. But these are in keeping with the other houses. There is no more sign of animation— that is, on ordinary days, when no races are on— than at the haberdasher's, or the stationer's, or the butcher's; this last, especially, presenting a dismal look, for it is devoid of all semblance of a joint, and looks, with its naked tenter- hooks and empty block, and polished showboard, like the legacy of a past age, or an importation from Pompeii An open, bracing place it is, but not a soul is to be seen ; and yet this is a race course, and a race meeting is on. Where are the booths, the shows, the strolling players, the songs, the three sticks a penny; where the long array of carriages without horses, and beauties on the seats ; where the rattle and the bustle, the excite- ment and the crowd that are always considered indispensable adjuncts to a race course? Oh! such things are not at Newmarket. The showman is out of his element there, the three sticks a penny are prohibited, the crowd can never come. Newmarket is a race course by itself, and bears no more resemblance to any other than does the water at Oxford to the Thames at Putney." REVIEWS. THE SPORTING REVIEW ( Rogerson and Tuxford).— The Octo- ber number opens with " A Good Show,'' after Corbet, of the gipsy dealer's man waking up a game old screw, and a sketch full of life and character, although by no means done justice to, by Hacker, whose job work comes in very marked contrast to Backshell's beautiful engraving of one of Abraham Cooper's deer stalking bits, fancifully entitled " Excelsior !" The Druid drives his omnibus into Doncaster, but tells a gcod story by the way of the old lady who tackled him at Inverness with the pointed in- quiry as to his really understanding the English language? The open- house keepers at " Bachelor's Hall" do not force the run- ning ; but another steeple chase, that invaluable specific for sporting novelists, is evidently in the plan of the architect. A friend and " one of the best, whips of his day" supplies a welcome stimulant to Lord William Lennox's " Sport Indeed," in a work- manlike description of the Four- in- hand Club : and then follow a batch of seasonable contributions on " The Pheasants and the Covers,'' " The Gun in October," " An Excursion to the Isle of Bute," " A Deer Drive," and an agreeable paper by Athelwode on " Other Days '' The usual descriptions ® f the plates, a full list of the Sledmere sale, and other such memoranda make up the way- bill of this old- established concern. BAILEY'S MONTHLY MAGAZINE OE SPORTS ( Baily and Co).— A capital likeness of Lord William Poulett is here the portrait of the month, while the biographer has to go back to " Darlington's peer" for the more salient points of his memoir, as Lord William's own career as a sportsman is not, marked by much incident; the Promised Land and Tim Whiffler being the two corner stones of the story. In " Autumn Leaves from the Black Forest,'' tbe Gentleman in Black finds the material for another dissertation on the delights of Baden; but we fancy this seductive Hades in terris has been a little overdone of late. A North Coun- tryman writes © n the breeding of hunters and hacks sensibly enough, though his chief points, even to the example of the Duke of Beaufort, are little more than an echo of what has already been said on the subject.

GREAT YARMOUTH RACES.— The committee, encouraged by the success of the late meeting, has decided on commencing arrangements with regard to another gathering in 1864. Next year's meeting will probably be held earlier in the season— that is, in August, instead of September. The Autumn Supplement to Buff's Guide to the Turf, bringing the sport past well into September, is now out, in good time for the two great October Meetings. A complete index to the several performances of horses in work makes this eighteen- penny worth of information yet more acceptable. " THE OLD MARE."— Sir Tatton related to us the incident of the purchase by Sir Mark Sykes of Hornpipe, by Trumpato out of Luna, by Herod, sister to Eclipse, & c. In 1802- 3 Hornpipe pro- duced fillies by Sir Peter Teazle, and the last produce of the two was presented by Sir Mark Sykes to his brother, the late Sir Tat- ton. These sister fillies produced in the same year ( 1810) Prime Minister and President, both of which became renowned stal- lions, as the stud- book shows. Some of the Prime Minister mares were the dams of very good race horses. The dams of Physician, Charles theJTwelfth, and Belinder were Prime Minister mares; and from the latter descends the last Derby winner, Macaroni; and President was probably the most widely reputed sire fori —— 7 „ .. , r . , getting hunters ever known in Yorkshire.

RACING IN FRANCE. PAEIS AUTUMN RACES- THE OMNIUM, OR FRENCH CESARE WITCH. ( FBOM OUB OTO COBBESPONDENT.) The Omnium ranks amongst the oldest races in the French calendar, having been established as early as 1842, its promoters being the Barons A. and Nathaniel Rothschild and Colonel Fridolin, who together contributed 4,000f, the Jockey Club giving another 2,000f. Its conditions have, however, been greatly changed since its first establishment; for many years it admitted two year olds; and the event for the first year fell to one of that age in Lanterne, a filiy by Hercule, who carried 741b, and was ridden by Spreoty, the same filly carrying off" both the French Derby and Oaks the following year. It also in those days ad- mitted English horses ; and. until within the last ten years, it was always run for at Chantilly. In one respect, however, it has never changed, for at its commencement it obtained large entries and good fields; and the same rule holds good, only in an increased ratio, to the present day, for. as a valuable handicap, it not only attracts the attention of Turfites from the metropolitan districts, as is the case with the Derby and other great races, but it always receives a very numerous subscrip- tion from the provinces; and as it has four or five times fallen to the lot of a provincial, this list each year becomes greatly increased. For the race now before us, the subscribers were 78, which exceeded every previous year; and the number of starters, 18, also exceeds by two or three that of the general average. The betting has not been very spirited about it for any great length of time, though for the last week or ten days several have been supported by their stables very freely, and backed t0 win large sums, last 8aturday at the Salon des Courses being a very busy evening especially, for several of our English betting men were present and assisted the backers considerably by their very accommodating prices : the horses that were chiefly in favour during the evening were Scamandre at 3 and 4 to i, Caroulet at 4 to 1, and Tambour Battant, Beau Soleil, and Jean Sans Peurat prices varying from 7 to 10 to 1. The weather on Sunday was everything that could be desired for the season of the year, though the attendance was nothing to what we have seen on an Omnium day. The sport commenced with the Prix Extraor- dinaire, for which eight selling platers came to the post, and Mai, after a very close finish with Blanchette, repeated his victory of the preceding Sunday, and his usefulness now seemed to strike a good marcy, for no less than eleven applications were put in the claiming box for him, including prices from Mons Lupin, the Confederacy, Duke de Gram out, M Reiset, and H. Jen- nings, though the highest bid was from the Count de la Beraudiere, who, after all got him very cheap. Eleven youngsters came out for the Two Year Old Stake, includ- ing two only from the dark division, viz. Son Champ and Arro- gante, the latter a daughter of Imperieuse, and remarkably neat, with a good character from home, though in the race she seemed to cut up a terribly duck- hearted one. Son Champ, on the contrary, proved himself " greatly superior to the lot, and he is a very good- looking colt, though evidently a Womersley, and not a Prime Warden; and, like many of that horse's get, he has the fault of being rather heavy in front. Nepto was the only one that was able to make anything like a race of it with the Confede- racy's colt, and it will not surprise us if in another year this big, overgrown son of Festival turns out a very superior horse, though unfortunately he is not in either the French Derby or Grand Prix. Stradella never gave anything a chance in the Prix Impe- rial, for which she made all the running, and beat Panique at 101b for the year just as she liked, and then the great event, " TheOmnium,'' was on the card, eighteen, as we have before said, coming out for it, and at starting the favourite was still Bcamandre, who was fancied on account of his running Dollar to a head at Baden- Baden, though many were dead against him by reason that he has always run a cur, and shown temper whenever he has been in a large field of horses, even bis © wn party placing a portion of their trust in Actseon. their second string, at 30 and 40 to 1. Scamandre was looking, however, in the very perfection of condition, and altogether in point of ap- pearance it certainly did look gold ts silver on him. The other favourite, Caroulet, was quite of another stamp, being in every particular the facsimile of what we have oftea heard called " a little pig of a horse," and how his party could ever have kept such an animal a whole season merely for this race, beats our compre- hension. Tambour Battant looked well, but notwithstanding his success at Fontainbleau, we have always looked upon him as an imposter. and his present performance proves that the estimate we took of him was a correct one. With such animals as we have mentioned for favourites, a surprise from the outside division was not such a very unlikely thing to happen, and there could not have been a much greater outsider than Arc en Ciel, for although he stood nominally at 12 or 14 to 1, as much as 25 to 1 was laid against him the night before. His victory, however, was very satisfactorily received, for his owner, M. Be!, ague, is one of the principal movers of agricultural improvement in France, being the possessor of above 7,000 acres ( near Orleans), most of which he farms himself, on all the improved principles of farming, and he is the president of a very important agricultural society in that district. He has for several years had a race horse or two in training, though prior to this with no success, and for two or three past seasons he has let the Confederacy buy the few young things that he bred until last year, when he was obliged to keep them, because that party were selling off instead of buying; with this alternative, therefore, he engaged John Mizen last October to come down to his place and train them. Arc en Ciel is by Lord Palmerston's old horse Buck- thorn out of Landrail, by 8ir Hercules, standing about 15 hands 1 inch high, with plenty of substance, and altogether he is just the stamp of animal that good judges would term a little big horse. His performances lip to this victory have been rather in- different, though he was fancied for the Fontainbleau Handicap, because he ran Marjolet rather close in the St Leger of the west at Angouleme. The Prix Principal was thought a good thing for Conquette, but an outsider turned the tables on this also, for No- bility, not backed for a shilling, landed it, to the immense de- light of her veteran owner and his numerous friends, whilst the favourite was nowhere. We had almost forgotten to mention that the English bookmakers, Messrs Morris, Grieves, Har- rison, Christie, & c, were over for the occasion, and as the fa- vourites were defeated at every coup, we think it most probable that they left Paris with some pleasing reminiscences.

Sarcelle went off with the lead, waited upon by Semiramis and Mai, with Chamboran, Oberon and Fornarina lying next, while Blanchette and Jonathas brought up the rear; these positions undergoing but little alteration until passing the Little Plantation, when Jonathas and Blanchette drew up into fourth and fifth places. At the last turn Sarcelle and Semiramis were both in trouble, though they came into the straight with the lead, and maintained it to within two distances from home, when Blanchette drew slightly in front, and was immediately followed by Mai, the two then coming clear away from the others, and after a fine race, in which the colt stayed the longest, the fiat was just given in his favour by a head ; three lengths separating Fornarina from the pair; Jonathas was a bad fourth, Semiramis fifth, and Oberon sixth. The winner was claimed by Viscount de la Beraudiere for 2,600f.

After two false starts the lot got away tolerably well together, Dinorah with the lead, followed by Ron- dinella, Scsevola. Son Champ, Nepto, and La Belle Ferronniere in the order named; then cameMLupin's two, followed by Rembrandt, the favourite and Rainette. At the plantation Kitchener drew up through his horses with Arrogante. but she/ was beaten before she got to the leading pair, and fell back again immediately, this being the only perceptible movement in positions until they reached the turn, when Dinorah retired from the front beaten, Rondinella then looking as well as anything in the run round into the straight, where she fell back, and then Son Champ and Nepto were seen at the head of affairs, Count de Lagrange's colt having the best of it all the way up, and winning easily at last by about three parts of a length ; two lengths between Nepto and Scaevola, Mdlle Duchesnois, who came through a beaten lot at last, was a bad fourth, Rembrandt just behind her fifth, Rondinella, fiocturne, and La Belle Ferronniere next; and Dinorah and Rainette were the two last. PBIX IMPERIAL of 5,000f, for four year olds and upwards that have never won a First Government Prize; entrance 300f, h ft; the second received half the entries; weight for age, with penalties, & c; three miles one furlong; 8 subs.

Stradella led, with Falendre lying second, Panique third, and Gabrielle in the rear, until about half way up the hill, when Falendre attempted to take the lead from Stradella, but he could never fairly reach her. After this nothing disturbed the black one's lead for the remainder of the journey, odds being laid at the last turn that the Confederacy's mares would be first and second, but Panique got Gabrielle d'Estrees safe at the distance, though she never had a chance with Stradella, who won as she liked by a length and a half : Gabrielle d'Estrees finishing two lengths from Panique, Falendre was a bad fourth. The OMNIUM ( a Handicap) of 6,000f, for three year olds and upwards ; entrance 300f, 200 ft, and 100 only if declared ; the second received l, 000f out of the stakes ; a winner of a stake worth 2,000f after the publication of the weights 31b, or of two or more such stakes 61b extra ; a winner of a stake worth 8,000f 81b extra ; one mile four furlongs ; 78 subs, of whom 49 de- clared forfeit. 19.

Baron de la Rochette found rather more difficulty than usual in getting this large field together, and several of the light weights, by being overanxious to get off in good places, caused three or four false starts. When the flag really fell, however, all got off well, excepting Banniere and Creole, especially the former, who must have lost nearly a hundred yards. The running was instantly taken up by Infante, followed by Loup de Mer. Jean Sans Peur, Polichinelle, Beau Soleil, Due Job, Tambour Battant, Caroulet, Beuteille a L'Encre, and Scamandre in the order named ; Arc en Ciel, L'Aventuriere Roques, and Nankin then coming on together, while Tandem, Acteon, Creole, and Banniere brought up the rear. After going about half way up the hill Caroulet drew up through his horses, and took third place, which he maintained until they had reach the brow, when Beau Soleil passed him and Loup de Mer, and lay second to Infante round the top turn, and into the dip, where the latter was beaten, and in | the next hundred yards Beau Soleil; who was then full of running, broke down, and Loup de Mer having by this time given over, the lead was left round the turn into the straight with Jean Sans Peur, Caroulet for a moment being second, but he was here in difficulties, and dropped back to the rear ranks directly, Polichinelle, then lying on the inside next to M Schickler's horse; and Banniere, who had gra- dually made up her lost ground, suddenly getting into third place, now looked all over the winner, the cry from the Stands being " Banniere wins in a canter." She died away, however, as quickly as she had come, and in the next instant the real winner wa3 seen coming away in a canter, for Arc en Ciel, who had been gradually improving his position with his horses all the way, now cleared'himself of the ruck, and, without ever being moved upon, ran home the easiest of winners by three lengths, Roques and Acteon both coming through the beaten ones with a rush at last, finishing second and third with a length between them; a similar interval separated Jean Sans Peur from Acteon, Baimiere being the fifth, the favourite sixth, L'Aventuriere, Bouteiile a l'Encre and Caroulet next, and the last three were Due Job, Creole, and Loup de Mer.

Charles Martel and Princet went away in front, with Nobility lying third, Joliette fourth, Fleur de Mai next, then Trompette and thefavourite, whilst Flibustier brought up the rear. At the Windmill turn Nobility passed Princet, and lay close up with Charles Martel to the little plantation, where the favourite attempted to join the leading pair, but failed, and Nobility had quite run the black one out before they came to the last turn, when she was joined by Trompette, but the latter was beaten at the distance, and Nobility won easily at last by a length and a half, Flibnstier finishing half a length from Trompette ; Joliette was fourth, and the favourite fifth. BRUSSELS STEEPLE CHASES. SUNDAY, 8EPT 27.— These races were very well attended, the weather being all that could be desired, and the ground in very good order. In our remarks of last week we selected Egmont as entitled to most confidence, and after him Maritana, for the Prix du Gouvernement, which was fully carried out, as Egmont won easily by four lengths, Maritana securing the second place. In the Prix de la Ville ( Selling Stakes), nine came to the post, and our selection, Brave, came in second. For the Hunters' Stakes we selected Auricula, and Well Done, belonging to the same owner, won by any distance he liked.

THE WARWICKSHIRE HOUNDS- DESTRUCTION OF FOXES IN THE ALCESTER COUNTRY. MBEDITOB: On Monday we drew a small wood, called Ennistier, close to Ragley Park, where we knew two brace of foxes were in the habit of lying. We drew it blank, and were informed that Mr Bomford of Dunnington had shot a fox and trapped another a few days previously. I wrote the accompanying note to him, and received the enclosed answer. We are in the habit of giving very liberal compensation for loss of fowls, & c: £ 83 was expended for this purpose in 1861- 2, and £ 93 10s 6d in 1862- 3. The Alcester country is a very rough woodland country, and very wide of our kennels. We hunt it for three weeks during the cub hunting season, a fortnight in the spring, and meet regularly in the country once in three weeks during the regular season, so our not hunting the country properly can hardly be urged as an excuse. A circumstance of this sort must be a great annoyance to the neighbouring farmers, who are all very strict preservers of foxes. — I am, & c, W. H. J. NOBTH. Kineton, Oct 8,1863. SIB : We were much disappointed at not finding at Ennistier yesterday, as four foxes were known to frequent it. I was much astonished to hear a report in circulation during the day that you had destroyed a brace of foxes there. I can hardly believe that such a thing really occurred, but if it did I am sure it must have been the result of accident and not intentional— at any rate I should be greatly obliged if you would be so good as to let me know the facts of the case, as the neighbouring gentlemen and myself are anxious to know where the cubs can have got to.— Be- lieve me, yours obediently, W. H. J. NORTH. Alcester, Oct 6, 1863. BIB : In reply to your letter addressed to my father, I write to say that I shot a fox a fortnight ago. Having had so much damage done, I felt justified in shooting it.— I am, sir, yours truly, Dunnington, Oct 7, 1863. K_ H. BOMFOBD. " HARE HUNTING COMMENCES." DEAB BELL: As the hunting season has now almost generally commenced, I daresay you will receive accounts from various parts, and therefore I do not see why we in the west country should be behindhand in letting the world know what we are doing. Capt Deigliton's Harriers met Oct 2, at Hewelsfield Court, twenty- five to thirty out, and amongstthem, what I think there al- ways ought to be, a few of the fair sex. Some little time being spent in dodging about, a hare was found, and we had a pretty little spin of about 40 minutes, when poor pussy was obliged to suc- cumb to the speed of this deserving little pack. Trotted back and found another, which took us at a good pace to Oak Hill Woods, from which the hounds could not force her. Found again, and the scent being bad some very slow hunting ensued, but being completely wearied out she was at last compelled to cry " Peccavi." Being well pleased with the day's sport, and it now being late, I bade my adieus, and quietly turned my horse's head towards home.— Yours, & c, BOB TAIL. NEWENT HARRIERS. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. DEAR BELL : On Saturday, October 3, these harriers were hunted by the much respected and worthy master, R. F. Onslow, Esq, assisted by Master Willie. Both were well mounted, the old squire, riding a splendid bay ( capable of sixteen stone across country), seemed as buoyant as in years gone by, and though in the autumn of life, evidently as capable of leading the field as ever. Master Willie bestrode a magnificent thoroughbred, nothing coming amiss to him. The meet was at Oxenhall Church; the clouds had a threatening aspect, yet did not deter the sportsmen of the neighbourhood from joining issue. The squire first drew a piece of stubble, when a " tantara" from Bill Steward denoted the sport had begun. After a smart breather of a mile and a half they lost. Crook's Farm was then tried, Jem Matthews giving the signal of " forward." A very quick run of a mile without a check brought poor puss to grief. The next was the crack run of the six they had. Jem Matthews was again lucky enough to put her away from a piece of stubble of MrsThurstons ; she crossed the bank at Hill End Green down to the castle at Dymock, the seat of Joseph Hill Hay ward, Esq. Here a cross occurred, a few say- ing " It's a fresh hare," but the result did not justify the remark, her running showing her the hunted one, for she tried back to her resting place of the over night, which she was destined not to see again. On then to Oxenhall Church, near to Cold Harbour, leaving this to the right, over the canal bridge, down the Squire's long meadow to the very door of the kennel, back up the canal side, across which, as a last resource, poor puss ventured, and had hard matter to gain lerrafirma, the hounds gallantly fording the water. A magnificent course in R. Moody, Esq's, broad meadow brought as fine a hunt to a close as ever was witnessed. It was really a splendid sight, the hare fully half a mile ahead, with the whole field in full cry, each horseman gallantly clearing all obstacles, and no check for thirty minutes. The squire and son were, as before mentioned, well mounted, Jem Matthews was also on a good nag; Squire Atherton on a nice grey was in at the finish.— Yours, & c, J. M. THE WEST- STREET HARRIERS AND THEIR PROPER GAME. MB EDITOB : I perceive from your impression of last Saturday that the West- street Harriers, a pack kept in the vicinity of Dovor, again hunted a fox last week, and the writer of the account appeared to glory in the deed rather than otherwise. Thus the West- street establishment creates an exception to the rule laid down and acted upon by the other masters of harriers within the limits of the East Kent Hunt. This is not as it should be. The act is as subversive of legitimate practice as the allowing fox- hounds to hunt hare would be. My Lord Normanton, General Bolton, old Mark Morrell in Oxfordshire, the father of the Master of the East Kent Foxhounds; Billy Hougham, Rev E. Cage, and the Marquis of Ely, who kept harriers in this county, would just as soon have thought of worrying a flock of sheep with their hounds as hunting a fox. It would, perhaps, be said, " We could not stop them," but it is notorious that under proper systematic management hounds may be made to do almost anything except to speak, both in kennel and out of it. These few lines are writ- ten in a purely amicable spirit, and I sincerely hope that they will be received as such.— Yours, & c, JOHN FAGGE, Mystole, Tuesday, Oct 6, 1863. COURSING, Mr J. Hay ....

STAG HUNTING IN FBANCE.— On Tuesday, Oct 6, and also last week, distinguished hunting parties assembled in the Forest of Senart. The principal " assistants'' on the first occasion were Prince Joachim Murat, the Prince de Wagram ( who came to the meet from Picardy), the Marquis De Miramont, the Baron De Gourgaud, & c. Prince Murat mounted for the first time a horse recently arrived from England, and which he had not previously seen. A fine stag was started, and was chased for some hours, when he ran into a herd of old animals, and was lost. The dogs then set upon another stag which came in their way, but they were recalled by the Prince De Wagram. Night was falling when orders were given to two gardes to fire on the animal, but they missed. A third garde was more successful; but the wounded beast, nevertheless, got clear off, notwithstanding the traces ef blood which he left behind him. THE PBINCE or WALES AND THE WEST NORFOLK.— 1The members of the West Norfolk are on the qui vive, expecting in a week or two to have the honour of welcoming his Royal Highness the Prince to two or three of their meets. The anticipated visit of the prince to Sandringham is principally designed, however, for shooting purposes, and his royal highness's engagements are so pressing that nothing certain can be predicted as to his movements. QUOITS.— EXTBAOBDINABY PERFORMANCE.— On Monday, Oct 5, W. M'Gregor, the celebrated quoit player of South 8hields, undertook to play 60 ringers in 45 minutes, at Mr G. Robson's, William the Fourth, High- street, Poplar, with 8| in quoits. 18 yards distance, which feat he accomplished, to the astonishment of a numerous company of spectators, in 33 minutes. This per- formance we believe stands unparalleled in the annals of quoit playing. He played 189 quoits, 60 of which were ringers. As M'Gregor's stay in London will be short, he would like to play Marshall of Blackheath an off- hand match for a " tenner,'' 21 yards, to measure from the centre of the pin, each to find his own quoits. A match can be made any night at Mr Robson's, as above. W. M'Gregor of South Shields will play F. Southern of the Felling or W. Lambert of Newcastle 20 yards distance, for from £ 10 to £ 25 a side, quoits not to exceed 8f inches in diameter, stiff sticking clay ends, 61 shots, pins 2 inches up, and ringers to count two. Articles sent to M'Gregor, at Mr Robson's, William the Fourth, High- street, Poplar, and a deposit of £ 5 to the Editor of Bell's Life, will ensure a match. To play in three weeks from the first deposit. M'Gregor will give or take £ 3 expenses to play in London or Newcastle. W. Stanley of Manchester will play any of the following men a game at quoits, 18 yards distance, stiff sticking clay ends, with 8- inch quoits, for £ 5 or £ 10 a side:— Holden of Dukinfield, either of the Stopfords of Gorton, or Coulterbank of Openshaw. Any of the matches can be made at J. Read's, Golden Quoit, Royles Bridge, Holland- street, Butler- street, Manchester. Mr Jas. Dunlop's r w b Silrerrays, by Cardinal York out of Silversteel, and Mr H. B. Irring's bk b Cheat'im, by Cardinal Y'ork out of High Idea, divided. The DOUGLAS CUP, for all ages, at £ 5 5s each; winner £ 60, second £ 20, third £ 10, expenses £ 15— total £ 105. III. Coodareena beat Tirza ( l dr) | Gilderoy ran a bye Carabradzo beat Spencer IV. Mr Campbell's be b Coodareena and his be d Carabradzo, by Beacon out of Scotland Yet, and Mr Gibson's f d Gilderoy, by The Brewer out of Hornet, divided. FBIDAY.— Met at Lower, and coursed over the fine open pastures, with slopes good enough to test the merits of any greyhound, to " rare'' hares, driven from Flockerton Moss. The weather was most favourable, and an excellent day's sport was the result.— Douglas Cup: Coodareena led Spider a couple of lengths, and brought her hare round at a right angle, then turned in beautiful style, letting in Spider, who exchanged several points, and at one period looked like winning, but the superior speed of the blue pulled her through a clever winner; Spider killed. Coorooran led Bassoon three lengths, and pressed his hare to the latter, who turned and served himself. Mr Gibson's " crack" then took his hare and won a nice trial, which he terminated with a good kill. Carabradzo disposed of Blooming Daisy, running very resolutely, fast, and distinguishing himself as one of the very best of grey- hounds. Dunoon slightly led Bergamot on outside ground, and served himself thrice consecutively; Bergamot, who fell heavily in her effort to reach her hare in the run up, then went in and ultimately outworked and outstayed Mr Dunlop's clever dog. Joint Enterprise took a considerable lead of Silkcord, and fetched his hare baek, Silkcord leading out of my view, and, I understand, ran a severe course, much in favour of Mr Johnston's fast son of Effort. Tirzah led Carte de Visite, but fell at the second turn ; Mr Dean's dog then took his game and turned thrice, letting in Tirzah, who never left her hare till she killed. Earl Russell ran into his hare very prettily. Spencer beat Exhibitor at all points in a distressingly severe course. Beauregard was too fast for Jessie o' Dunblane, and won well a trial of moderate length. Gilderoy raced up his hare.— Biggar Stakes ( second ties) : Marshal Forward, in a fine stretch to the hare, led fully a length, and served himself; Master Haywood took next point, Mr Dunlop's good- looking son of Picton finishing a clever winner. Cadazooro scored two first points, and the major part of a capital trial. Cadaroono led John Knox, who made next point, the white the two following, John Knox cutting his own throat by killing. Calabarono after a struggle drew out from Master Robert, and won a course of mode- rate length very easily. Skidadaler ran his bye with Reality, handled a stout hare most admirably, and killed with much fire. — Caledonian Stakes ( second ties): Balsamic and Cheat'im had three undecideds, but on the fourth time of asking Mr Irving's fine daughter of Cardinal York exhibited superior speed, and never had her course in doubt. Amina ran fast and true, and won a nice trial very prettily. Clorardeena, affer two scrambling no- goes, was slightly led by Cauldshiels, but took the subsequent point, and killed. Silverrays ran very fast and merrily, and beat Border Witch in a moderate length of course, which Mr Jardine's pet terminated with a wrench and kill. Cliardona ran her bye with Pretender— short and sweet.— Douglas Cup : Coodareena led her elder brother, and beat him handsomely. Carabradzo shot away from Bergamot, served himself, letting in the bitch, then raced by her, and won hollow. Lord Binning's bitch had evidently not shaken off the effects of her severe course with Dunoon. Tirzah led Joint Enterprise two lengths from slips on a piece of good ground, but was passed by the latter, who turned ; Tirzah quickly made next, when Joint Enterprise shot inside and killed, winning his course without a doubt, but the cap came off; in their next slip Tirzah picked up her hare. The judge said the bitch was unsighted when the dog gave her the go by in the undecided, and his horse having blundered, he did not see the kill. I could not account for the strong lead Tirzah took in the deciding trial, until I saw how badly Joint Enterprise had cut his near forefoot, which his trainer assured me was done in his undecided course. Spencer led Earl Russell to a rattling hare, which gave both a complete bucketing, Mr Steel's " crack" running throughout a fast and stout greyhound. Gilderoy ran into his hare in gallant style, which closed the day's running. SATURDAY.— We met at Millmuir, and coursed the open pas- tures behind the house, the hares running wonderfully fleet and stout, commencing with the third ties of the Bigger Stakes, where- in three of the five dogs left in were Mr Campbell's flyers. Mar- shal Forward on the upper side led Cadazooro, and reached his hare, stuck well to her, and led through a fence, where the black and white lost ground, arid allowed the Marshal to score two or three points along the road; Cadazooro then joined, and scored a few points, but Mr James Dunlop's dog came again, and won a good trial. Skidadaler, on the lower side of a hill face, led and took first turn, kept well with his game, and took her over a fence into a large grass field, where he knocked her about in grand style. The white exchanged two or three points, when the blue made a rush to kill down hill, but missed; he, however, succeeded in a good effort to overhaul Mr Campbell's pet, and after wrenching once or twice killed. Calabarono ran his bye with Columbine. The style the black displayed in this course was not equal to his previous running, but though amiss from the very commence- ment of the meeting, he ran well throughout a very distressing course. This " rare hare'' ran until she lay down thirty yards ahead of her pursuers.— Caledonian Stakes ( third ties) : Cheat'im in a good run up brought her hare round. Clorardeena made a cross kill— no go— when up got another hare, which they took until a second one caused a " split," but fortunately th hares crossed, and they settled to one, and a fine trial wa& fc result; Cheat'im still showing the pace and working powers, won well. Cliardona ran very fast, and led her antagonist four or five lengths and turned, serving herself several times in succession. Amina put in a few clever points, but a good kill by the white terminated a beautiful course. Silverrays ran a bye.— Douglas Cup : Coodareena led Tirzah. The latter killed— no go. Their second slip was also undecided, when Tirzah was afterwards drawn. Carabradzo beat Spencer very easily, Mr Steel's dog being sore from the effects of his previous severe running. Gilde- roy ran a bye. The three dogs left in divided the stake.— Biggar Stakes ( deciding course) : Marshal Forward and Skidadaler, in consequence of Calabarona being drawn distressed, ran the de- ciding course. Skidadaler, in a fine slip uphill, outpaced and outworked his opponent in a clever and well run course.— Cale- donian Stakes ( fourth ties) : Silverrays and Cliardona had a no go out of the judge's sight; in their second slip, a capital trial, Silverrays running the strongest, gained the fiat. Cheat'im ran her bye with Pretender, and although stiff at the beginning soon shook it off, and ran in her usual won't- be- denied style. Cheat'im and Silverrays having both been hard run, though neither of them distressed, the stake was evenly divided. REMARKS.— Several of the puppies that competed for the Biggar and Caledonian Stakes will distinguish themselves over other grounds before the year closes. Mr Campbell's lot of eight com- prised bk d Calaborono, by Cardinal York, his brothers bk w Cadazooro, and bk f w Calerino, Cadaroono, Clorardeena, white bitch Cliardona, by his Canaradzo, Coodereena, and Carabradzo; the two latter divided the All- aged Stake. On the last day Mr C. had seven standing, and, from the style each had cut down his opponent, all the stakes looked destined to go to Dalgig. His puppies are all first class excepting Calerino. The black dog and white bitch are very racing- like, possess wonderful pace, which improves as they go on, and are capital killers. Cadazooro is a more compact, useful dog, a steady runner, and close worker. Cadaroono possesses fair pace, runs smoothly, and drives his hare prettily. Carabradzo is much improved, and, if well on the day, will be a rattling favourite for Waterloo. Tullochgorum is a fast smooth runner, and a dangerous animal over any ground. Mr Thompson may well be proud of such a clipper. Marshal Forward does great credit to his sire Picton, he led and defeated all his rivals in hollow style, until he met Skidaddler for the deciding course. Mr Irving's dog, although wearing his old coat, which gave him the appearance of not being in tip- top condition, came with a great private character, went through the stake unchallenged, and killed every hare he was slipped at in the most brilliant style. He is a blue dog 571b weight, has a straight muscular back, grand legs and feet, with very strong pasterns. He seems able to bear punishment well, judging from his running and the staying blood in his veins, his dam Redwing being by Jardine's Baron out of Randeil's Raven. Mr Borron's lot are good looking and clever, but slightly deficient in pace. Blush Rose and Barmaid are racing- like and ran very smartly. Lord of the Isles and Lord Clifden are the pick of Mr Ewing's lot. Mr Gibson's have had little experience. Gold Horn and Primate are my pick of the lot. Lord Lurgan's lot are more adapted for a flat, excepting Master Haywood, who is a splendid puppy, with above average pace, a good worker and killer. He will reward his noble owner ere the season closes. Master Robert has also good pace. Mr 8teele's lot are young and fine sized. They had only seen one hare each, and will improve with age. Spunkie and Spray are fast, and good workers; the former, was put out in her second ties, in an unsatisfactory trial, and the latter was drawn after two no- goes with the ultimate joint winner. Cauld- shiel s is both fast and goed- looking, and from her clever vic- tory over Mr Borron's crack was my pick for the stake. Mr R. Jardine's bitches were in fine condition, full of fire, and did credit to their training; nothing could be finer than their style of going, and I expect to see them earn some money before the season is over. Silverrays and Cheat' im are two greyhounds of the first class, and a great feather in the cap of Cardinal York. They won the stake without dispute, running throughout both fast and game animals. Mr Irving only entered one for each puppy stake, and to win one and divide the other in such com- pany speaks volumes for the class of his kennel. John Knex is another fast and clever son of Cardinal York. He put his chance out in the third ties by killing too soon. Mr Bateman's Con- fessor and Grisette are good- sized and w<= ll bred, but, like many others at the meetin- g, inexperienced. Mr Warwick, the judge, rode well to his dogs, and not throughout the whole four days did I hear a whisper of dissent, except in two instances— one a scramble in rushy ground, and the other with Joint Enterprise and Tirzah, when his horse blundered. Raper was very fresh, and got through his arduous duties in his usual plucky way. Mr Amos, the head gamekeeper at Douglas Castle, deserves praise for the energetic and satisfactory manner in which he managed the beat each day. C0MBERMERE MEETING— OCT 6.

Rose beat Creeper cleverly, and in the deciding course beat Slyboots in a short course.— The Scramble Stakes of £ 1 5s each were divided between Capt Moore's Meteora and Mr Lee's Red Duchess. Tha judge's decisions gave satisfaction, but the weather was broken and very trying to the lovers of the leash. GREYHOUND PRODUCE, & c.

SANDEINGHAM AND KING'S LYNN MEETING.— This open meeting, as will be seen by our advertising columns, is fixed for Feb 3 and following days, and Mr E. Spafford has been appointed judge. The Prince of Wales has evinced the same disposition to countenance coursing that his royal highness has shown towards other branches of our national sports and pastimes. The secre- tary, Mr J. D. Digby, has received a letter from the private secre- tary to the prince, from which the following is an extract: — " Marlborough House, Pall- mall, S. W., Oct5, 1863.— Mr Herbert Fisher presents his compliments to Mr Digby, and is desired to say that the Prince of Wales will inform him what coursing ground his royal highness can place at the disposal of the pro- posed meeting on his arrival at Sandringham. His royal high- ness wishes well to the coursing.'' The committee propose to raise a subscription, with which to pay all expenses, and give £ 60 away in added money, and it is hoped that the lovers of the leash will conbine to provide some excellent sport in the neighbourhood of the Prince of Wales's sporting residence. We are glad to see that those two respected coursers, the Earl of Sefton and Viscount Grey de Wilton, have consented to act as stewards, in connection with several local gentlemen. WOBCESTEB CLUB.— On Friday, Oct 2, the members of the Worcester Club and their friends had an excellent day's sport on the Rhydd and Severn End estates, by the kind invitation of the president of the club, Sir E. A. H.' Lechmere, Bart. The hares ran remarkably strong and well— so well, indeed, that most of them escaped for another day. The Severn End estate afforded some splendid trials. A capital lunch was served on the ground by the kind provision of the worthy baronet, which was heartily enjoyed by the sportsmen assembled on the occasion. Doo Castle Open Meeting, fixed to come off on the 13th and 14th inst, has been postponed, in consequence of the judge ( H. Walker, Esq) having a similar duty to fulfil in Scotland on the same days. As yet no time has been decided upon for holding the meeting. Chirbury ( Salop) Annual Open Meeting is fixed for the 13th of November, 1863. Mr Issard having given up public judging, the judge will be appointed by the votes of the nominators. KILKENNY CLUB.— The following are the fixtures of this club for the ensuing season;— Nov 12 and 13, Jan 14 and 15, and March 30 and 31. Mr R. Westropp will officiate as judge at each meeting. Mr Warwick has been appointed judge for the Brough and Cat- terick Open Meeting, Nov 5 and 6. Mr Jameson has been appointed judge for the Ford and Lowick Meeting, to be held on Wednesday next, the 14th inst. AQUATIC; REGISTER. HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. MOBNING. EVENING.

Lovers of the leash from Birmingham, Wol- verhampton, Manchester, Rochdale, Altrincham, Chester, Nor- wich, Rhyl, Runcorn, & c, & c, were in attendance with the pets of their respective kennels, and favoured by splendid weather overhead and smooth open pastures under foot, plentifully, although not excessively stocked with game, found a combination of advantages not everywhere to be realised at this early period of theseason. The absence from indisposition of one of its oldest supporters in the person of R. G. Jebb, Esq, was the subject of general regret, and one could not help feeling that the chasm oc- casioned by the demise of those esteemed sportsmen the late Dr Bellyse and W. Baker, Esq, whose presence had grown to be con- stituent features of the occasion, is one to be filled up by memory alone. Whilst in the enjoyment of his favourite pastime over this noble domain the eye of the observant sportsman wi. uld not fail co remark with pleasure the progress of agricultural improvement that has taken place, and is continually going on, under the aus- pices of its gallant and venerated proprietor, now almost as dis- tinguished for his devotion to the development of the resources of the soil as in days of auld lang syne for his powers in the battle field. For the Combermere Cup the entry was a bumper, many applicants who had been somewhat dilatory in making up their minds meeting unavoidably with disappointment. The Burley- dam Stakes, owing mainly perhaps to the close proximity of the Audlem Produce Meeting, which, we are informed, has secured a considerable puppy entry, wanted one of its appointed complement. In the Cup the principal favourites were Warwhoop, Blemish, and Emilia. The two former, however, were bowled over in an unmistakable manner by Envoy, a dog of very supe- rior speed and cleverness with the one known weakness of an aversion to a leveret, Emilia, to our eye beefy and short of pre- paration, was only rescued from defeat by a timely and prudent compromise. Of the remainder we may remark that Blucher. a son of Seacombe, gave proof that he inherited the speedy quality of his sire, and was besides a resolute and admirable pacer. Mr Mould's dogs did not run up to their usual form,; the cause assigned being that they were suffering from a night passed in a cold ken- nel. Mr Green's old pet was rather unfortunate in the slip, which was on the side of a slope, added to which her recent matronly duties could not but have an effect not calculated to promote her success in public. The Burleydam Stakes were cleverly won by a smart close- working little bitch, half sister to Emilia and Belli- gerent. Of the rest the very fashionably bred Britannia most attracted our favourable notice, and the half- prepared Turquoise may perhaps be found useful to his owner at a more advanced period of the season. In summing up the result of both stakes we have only to observe that it must have been gratifying to the se- cretary ( who, we are sorry to say, met with a severe fall) that two out of the three ultimate' winners were of the lineage of his old favourite Scythian, being of his direct descent in a double line. On the termination of the sport a large party repaired to the Comber- mere Arms, Burleydam, where a dinner was provided in that ad- mirable style which has now for many years made this hostelry and its worthy landlady, Mrs Wycherley, special favourites with the habituis of this old- established meeting.— Yours, & c, A LOVEB OF THE LEASH.

This meeting, which has existed for upwards of thirty- five years, but has only been brought forward as a public meeting for a Cup about five years, was held on Monday, and the weather being very fine, there was some good sport. The resident land- owners, C. Alix, Esq, of Willoughby Park; Sir J. Thorold, of Syston Park; and the Rev J. Colcroft, generously granted per- mission for the meeting to course over their splendid country, and after some little time was lost in the hollow at the first part of the day, through the thinness of the hares, yet afterwards they were found to be tolerably abundant. There" were several good greyhounds present; Harvest Queen gained general admiration, and will doubtless be heard of with advantage in the course of the coming season. Fifty guineas was refused for her on Monday. Mr E. Spafford was well mounted, rode well to the dogs, and de- cided fairly. The " draw" took place at the Angel Hotel on Thursday night, and after the coursing on Monday the " ordi- nary" was provided by Mr Ward, of the Angel, in his usual liberal style.

The next bal- lot for yacht owners will take place on Wednesday, Nov 4. ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB- The annual closing dinner of the season took place on Monday evening, Oct 5, at the Marine Station, Rock Ferry Hotel, and was numerously attended, Commodore Graves presiding. In addition to the usual loyal toasts, that of the " Club winners of cups during the present year" was proposed, the Phryne and Thought haviag won between them about twenty cups this season. The honorary- secretary, Mr Mel ling, placed business matters before the meeting shortly after eight o'clock, when several new members were ad- mitted by ballot. About twenty names were proposed for election at the next monthly meeting, including most of the influential Greek gentlemen resident in the town. Admiral Dacres was then unanimously elected an honorary member of the club. Most of the yachts are now dismantled for the season; but the Phryne is at anchor in the Sloyne, also a new screw schooner yacht be- longing to Colonel Clifton of Lytham, a member of the club. TEMPLE YACHT CLUB. The monthly general meeting of this club was held on Wednes- day, Oct 7, at the club house, Essex- street, 8trand ; the Commo- dore in the chair, faced by the Vice- Commodore. The minutes of last meeting were read and confirmed, after which Messrs J. and S. Dickens were elected members, Messrs G. Harrison ( yacht Vision), Burnard, Wormald, Gray, and Green being proposed for election next meeting night. The closing trip of the season will take place on October 17. Yachts to assemble at Charlton, and proceed on a cruise under the direction of the Commodore. On returning, the members and friends will dine together in the new club room, which will be opened for the first time on this occasion. Dinner on table at six o'clock. On the same date a private match will be sailed by the Novice and Quiz for £ 10. Course from Charlton, round the west buoy of the BL^ th sand, and back to North Woolwich. To be sailed in accordance with T. Y. C. rules, with the exception of no time to be allowed for difference of tonnage. TH3TAMERICAN YACHT GIPSY. During the past week this yacht has been purchased by Mr Mather, of Newcastle- en- Tyne, a member of the R. W. Y. C. of Ireland, for the sum of £ 2,500. Her late owner ( Mr A. W. Morse, of New York, who crossed the Atlantic in her) had her equipped for a voyage to England and the Mediterranean, but shortly after her arrival in this country ( owing, probably, to the state of affairs in America) came to the resolution of disposing of the yacht and all her stores should a purchaser be met with. She was accord- ingly placed in the hands of the secretary of the Royal Yacht Squadron, and duly advertised for sale. The stories which have been circulated respecting the intentions of the owner — that the yacht was destined to compete with our yachts at the regattas— appear to have had no foundation. She was built at New York in 1857 by Mr Vanduysen for Mr L. Spencer, of the New York Yacht Club. She has beaten the celebrated Maria in a breeze, and according to the rating of her qualifications in the club was considered to be 15 per cent faster than the America. On Mr Morse becoming the proprietor last year her spars were reduced eight feet, her bowsprit shortened by four feet, and solid bulwarks placed round her. Her dimen- sions are:— Length for tonnage, 916- 10ft; beam, 22ft 6in ; depth, 9ft 6in ; tons, 142 9- 94ths; her area of canvas 1,989 square feet; draft of water, lift. She has a gamber keel of 2| ft amidships. She is what is termed a foretopsail schooner, but since her arrival in these waters her square yards have been dismantled, and she has sailed about under her fore and aft canvas only. Her ballast consists of her water tanks, which are estimated at two tons, stowed under the cabin floor, and contain 1,900 gallons of water, and five tons of iron ballast, besides her usual sea- going stores. It appears that she sailed from New York on the 3d of July, and reached Cowes on the 23d, making 20 days' passage, including her stoppage of five days at Queens- town. LONDON ROWING CLUB. JUNIOB Scur. LS.— The annual prizes presented by Messrs H. H- Playfora and J. 8. Virtue will be rowed for on Friday and Satur" day, Oct 16 and 17. The trial heats will be rowed on Friday evening ( 4: 15 train), and the final heats on Saturday. Entries to close this day. On Saturday, the 17th, there will be an eight- oared race to close the season, after which the members and friends will dine at the club rooms. WESr LONDON ROWING CLUB. SENIOB SCULLS.— The senior scullers race of this club came oft on Saturday, Oct 3, from Putney to Hammersmith, and was a very exciting one, although the entries were very small, owing to business preventing the captain and other members contending. The race resulted as under:— W. P. Cecil ( centre station) .... 11 A. R. Pitt ( Middlesexstation) .. 0 G. I>. Lister ( Surrey station) .. 0 | F. J. Tyler dr The course was Putney to Hammersmith, and Mr F. W. Bryant, the captain, was umpire in the club eight. Mr Lister, an old and well tried member of the club, was the favourite, and was first off, although from the worst station, followed by Pitt, Cecil getting away badly. At the Star and Garter Lister led" by half a length, the same separating Pitt and Cecil, but the latter lay well down to his work here, and at Simmons's had gone into second place. Opposite the London Boathouse the old barge lay in the way, and Lister trying to pass in side to cut oft the corner, had to ease, and Cecil went into the front rank. By this mishap Lister lost three- quarters of a length, and at the Point had failed to draw on Cecil, who had rowed so well as to be now nearly clear, Pitt gradually tailing off. At Craven, Cecil, improving his lead, had taken Lister's water. The latter, however, was rowing with the greatest pluck and spirit and putting on spurt after spurt, gradually drew on his oppo- nent, until at the Crab Tree he had drawn strictly level; and if the race was severe before, it became doubly so now, for they rowed scull and'scull, each spurting, till Cecil, proving himself the stronger, had nearly drawn clear again at the Soap Works, and gradually increasing his lead, won by a clear length or a little more; Pitt five or six lengths behind Lister. Mr Cecil's success was as much applauded as it was unexpected, and was well merited, as he only joined the club early in the year, coming from a non- racing club, and only obtained his seniority by winning the club's junior scullers race a month ago. CORSAIR ROWING CLUB. SENIOB SCULLS.— The members of this club concluded their season on Saturday, Oct 3, with a race among the senior scullerB, which was rowed from Putney to Hammersmith, for a silver prize presented by the club, Mr F. W. Bryant, captain of the West London, kindly acting as umpire in the club eight; the result was as under : — J. Ellinger ( centre station) 11 J. C. Keams ( Surrey station) .. 0 A. Herron ( Middlesex station).. 0 I The start was very fast, Mr Kearns getting the best of it, and making good use of his sculls. Mr Herron was, on the contrary, very slow, but they were all level at the London Boathouse. where Ellinger began to draw away, and improved his lead till he was two lengths clear in front at the Point, and would have been much more but for his bad steerage. Meanwhile Herron, rowing a slow, measured stroke, had come up with Kearns, and a short struggle took place between them, which ended in Kearns having to give way to his stalwart opponent just before they reaahed the Point. Herron now tried to decrease Ellinger's lead, but although he rowed very pluckily, Ellinger, pulling in very fair form, got further away, and won easily. MONTHLY MEETING.— At the usual monthly meeting of the club, held on the 5th October at Lindsay's Hotel, Mr H. Moore signified his intention of giving, next season, a silver challenge cup for sculling, to be contended for by present members of the club; the conditions to be that it must be won twice consecutively before becoming the bond fide property of the holder. Mr G. Drayson will also present silver prizes for outrigged pairs. The annual club dinner was fixed for November 6. The chairman, in referring to the conduct of the Secretary of the Kew Regatta, re- marked he was sorry to see that that gentleman should persist in imputing a desire on the part of the crew of the C. R. C. to row over the course after the melancholy accident which occurred on the first day of the regatta, and expressed his oonviction that the gentlemen of the West London and other rowing clubs would not place any faith in the statement. ARIEL ROWING CLUB. PAIBS.— The members of this club rowed a race in pair- oared boats on Saturday, Oct 3, in which the competition, which pro- mised to be of an exciting nature, was marred by a foul early in the race. The competitors were :— C. Fisher and F. Fisher ( Middlesex station) 1 E. Tatham and R. G. Fisher ( centre station) o J. Westell and T. W. Hopton ( Surrey station) 0 The course was Putney to Hammersmith, and the race was ac- companied by Mr C. W. Roney, as umpire, in the club four. Tatham and Fisher were rather slow in getting off, and the bro- thers Fisher had a little lead, Westell and Hopton following second. After they had rowed a few strokes the last- named pair began to bore over most unmistakably towards the others, so much so that by the time they had reached Simmons's they fouled Tatham and R. Fisher. The latter were quickest in sepa- rating, but Hopton and Westell lost something like three or four lengths. By the time they got clear the brothers Fisher had ob- tained a lead of three or four lengths, and in this straggling order they rowed up to the Dung Wharf, where Tatham and partner spurted after the leaders with such determination that they soon began to decrease the gap between them ; the Fishers, however, preserved their lead, and succeeded in winning by a length and a half, Westell and Hopton having tailed off. EXCELSIOR BOAT CLUB. REGATTA AT GREENWICH.— A purse of sovereigns present**, by the Excelsior Boat Club was rowed for by twelve free wat& ty men of Greenwich on Monday, Oct 5, and produced some ex- cellent sport, although the unfavourable weather during the day prevented the race being witnessed by a very numerous company. The club in their liberal offer of a prize had not forgotten any of the competitors, and the following therefore were the awards, viz :— First man £ 4, second £ 2, third £ 1, second man in each heat 10s, third in each heat 7s, and fourth in each heat 5s. The club placed the whole affair in the hands of Mr W. Thomas, and could not have hit upon a better man, as he has managed the Greenwich Regatta with great fairness for many years past, and his friends are now getting him up a testimonial, in order, as the memorial says, " to testify their appreciation of the general character and conduct of the aforesaid William Thomas, who has for the space of 26 years carried out, with the highest credit to himself and general satisfaction to the sub- scribers and his fellow- townsmen, the office of manager to the Greenwich Regatta." But to return ; the course was from the Soap Works, East Greenwich, round the Dreadnought Hospital Ship, and back to the Excelsior Boat Club House, Cro wn and Sceptre Hotel. The various heats came off as under:— First heat: G. Royal 1, G. Cheeseman 2, G. Everson 3, J. Showell 4. Everson took the lead, followed by Showell, but they had not rowed half a dozen strokes before Showell, finding his opponent going ahead, shot his boat on his quarter and turned him athwart the tide. Everson got straight, and coming level Showell again repeated the performance, when Everson shipping his sculls pushed his boat clear, of course falling last, while Royal and Cheeseman were leading well by themselves. Everson, however, spurting rapidly, was drawing past them all at the Crown and Sceptre, when Showell's cutter going up to Showell's stern pushed him along until he got level with Everson again, and this allowed Cheeseman and Royal to resume the lead, the latter winning by a length. ' In explanation of the above, it should be remarked that, the race was rowed ac- cording to the old rules, fair fouling being allowed; but the club considering Everson was given no chance, allowed him to ge into the final heat.— Second heat: H. Richards 1, E. Ditton 2. W. Mascoe 3, W. Howe 4. Richards took the lead, and Ditton was following him closely, when Howe stopped him, and these two fell last. This allowed Ri- chards to go on with the lead, and win the heat by a boat's length; but Ditton re- passed Mascoe and Howe, and succeeded in coming in second.— Third heat: J. Groves 1, R. Burgess 2, W. H. Doust 3, J. Livett 4. This heat was devoid of fouling. The lead was taken by Doust, followed by Groves, Burgess next, and in this order they kept till after rounding the Dreadnought, where Doust began to tail oft, and Groves went to the front, and maintained his lead ever after, but Burgess made it very " hot'' for him, Groves only winning by a length and a half; Doust four lengths behind the second man.— Final heat: Groves 1, Everson 2, Richards 3, Royal 4. Everson took the lead, closely followed by Groves, and in close order they all remained to the Dread- nought, where Everson was two lengths in front, but coming back at the pier Groves somehow became first, and so remained, winning by two lengths; Richards the same behind Everson, and double that between Richards and Royal, who was allowed the same money as the third man. In the evening the club dined to- gether at Mr Gordon's, Crown and Sceptre, Green and Kelley being present: and the prizes having been presented, the water- men adjourned to the smoking room, where " The Health of the Excelsior Club" was responded to with stentorian lungs, and was followed by " The Health of Green and Kelley," & c. LAMBETH UNITED ROWING CLUB. The landsmen and watermen of Lambeth, whose name we might almost say is legion, will hail with delight the formation of a new club at Lambeth under the above title, which has been lately established for the encouragement of rowing among both ciasses of the community. The new club saw the light on Tues- day evening, Sept 29, at a meeting held at the Fleece, Duke- street, Stamford- street, Blackfriars- road, when the rules having been agreed to, Mr R. Bain, whose four is so well known and feared at many a regatta along our coast, and among our lively neighbours across the water, was elected chairman ; Mr F. Cross, for some years past well known to typos as a member of the Caxton Row- ing club, held at the Messrs Clowes', secretary ; Mr Place, the landlord, treasurer, and the following were appointed as the com- mittee for tbe ensuing j ear, viz :— Tom Coombes, Tom Pocock, W. Meckiff, W. Thorrington, and Messrs W. Stotesbury and H. Smith. Nearly forty followers of the oar have already joined the club, and this fact has decided the committee upon appearing upon the water this year, instead of waiting till next season. Ac- cordingly the club' s first race will be rowed on 8aturda, y, Oct 24, in fours, from Battersea Bridge to Westminster Bridge, starting at three o'clock. The entries close, and the draw takes place on Tuesday evening, Oct 13, at the Club House, when new members will be enrolled, and if the energy displayed by the pro- moters of the undertaking continues to be reciprocated as it is now, the club will more than supply the places of the once well- known Thames and London Unity, and become one of the best of its kind on the river. NEMESIS ( MANCHESTER) ROWING CLUB. This club closed their summer season on Saturday, Oct 3, when for the third time this year an eight- oared race between the light and heavy weights took place over the usual course. The light men won the last race of this kind, and, consequently, were the favourites. The crews were: HEAVY WEIGHTS. st lb 1. Holding 10 0 2. Dean 11 4 3. J Lang 11 0 4. H. Cheetham 12 10 5.

The day was wet and boisterous, notwithstanding which the members and their friends musteredwell. The winners had the Manchester side, and their opponents the Salford side of the river. HAMBURG REGATTA. The Alster Regatta, under the management of the United Alster Clubs, was held on the outer Alster Lake at Hamburg on Aug 30, when the following races took place.

C.— The prizes were afterwards presented by the President of the United Alster Rowing Clubs, Mr F. Stammann, and the day's proceedings, which had been much marred by heavy rain, were terminated by a dinner at the club rooms. MB EDITOB : A visit to Hamburg this summer gave me an op- portunity of seeing how our German cousins carry out their boat- ing, and'l was rather surprised to see the number of boats they turned out. Hamburg is a place admirably situated for rowing, lying as it does at the confluence of the Alster with the Elbe. Th6 former little stream extends itself outside the city into a lake about three miles long and a mile broad, which bears on its bosom a number of smart- looking little yachts and rowing craft. Inside the city, and separate from the lake by a roadway only, it forms a basin 2,300 paces in circumference. The whole constitutes a beau- tiful panorama, the lake being surrounded by beautiful villas and pleasure gardens, and the basin by the noted Jungfernstieg pro- menade, the largest houses and finest hotels in Hamburg. The Elbe is a fine broad river, with a slower current than the Thames. Steamers run up it a long distance, and I am told that its scenery in Saxon Switzerland is very beautiful, and would well repay tho. cost of a boating trip. I was fortunate enough to see the ro; . " g clubs of Hamburg exhibit their strength on the Alster ^^ on the 20th July, when they made a grand display in honoE: - ' the Hamburg Great Exhibition. I counted more than thirty- five boats, including one twelve and three tens. There was a large number of eights and a sprinkling of sixes and fours. Each crew bad its proper uniform shirt, with white drill " bags," coxswain a la Middy, and most of them had some bunting flying. The boats were nearly all gigs, heavier than our Thames boats, some carrying three or four sitters, and there were a few old- fashioned cutters ( immigrants from the Thames apparently), and one first- class sculling outrigger. As each boat pulled round the basin it was followed by a knot of edmiring friends, quite in the ' Varsity fashion, but pelting showers of rain fell, driving most of these off the promenade, and much marring tbe display, which looked very pretty when the boats had all assembled : the different co- loured uniforms, the number of flags, and the basin covered with boats and pretty steam yachts, having a very lively effect. At a signal from the president of the united clubs the boats formed in two lines, advanced to the centre of the basin, and peaked oars, when they met with verj- goodtimeand precision, after which they pulled in procession to an hotel on the lake, where the clubs dined together. The time of the crews, as a rule, was very good, but the style not so, as the men kept their eyes on their oars, and these, being mostly sea oars, were heavy, clumsy, and uusuited to the boats, and apt to make the men jerk too much, which they most certainly did. I write these few lines with the view of call- ing the attention of our rowing men to a river and its oarsmen, whose names hitherto have found no place in your aquatic re- ports : and should any of them feel disposed to make a cruise on the Elbe next year, I am sure they will be pleased with the Ham- burghers, who are very kindly disposed to Englishmen, copy many of their fashions, drink their • porter- bier, and behave very well to them. At least this has been my experience.— Yours, & c, NOBPSTEEN. NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION. MUNIFICENCE OF PABSEE LONDON MERCHANTS.— An eminent Parsee merchant firm in the city of London has presented £ 2,000 to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, through its chairman, Mr Thomas Baring, M. P., to enable it to form a lifeboat esta- blishment on the English coast, and permanently to keep it up. BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, OCTOBER 10, 1863. Their firm is now under dissolution, and in order to show their gratitude to the people of this great metropolis, from whom they have received for many years every courtesy, they have presented this munificent amount to this benevolent and national institution, whose lifeboats know of no distinction of race or religion when their services are required during the storm to save the drowning shipwrecked sailor. Between 500 and 600 live3 are thus saved every year by its lifeboats, and by the crews of shore boats, to whom it grants rewards for their gallant exertions. As the eminent philosopher, Sir David Brewster, has just written in a popular magazine, " In order to enable the Lifeboat Institution to maintain its existing life fleet of 125 boats in a state of efficiency, and to place a lifeboat on every dangerous shore, the public must add liberally to its funds. There is not a family in the land that has not a relative or a friend exposed to the dangers of the sea, and hence there is not a family or an individual that can escape from the obligation of contributing to the grandest and holiest of our societies— the National Lifeboat Institution. If it is a high privilege and a still higher duty to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to heal the sick, and to teach the ignorant, it is surely a higher privilege, and a higher duty still, to save from sudden death lives that have long to live, and that are to live for ever." LIFEBOAT SERVICES — RYE, SUSSEX, OCT 6.— Mr A. B. Tid- ier, Lloyd's agent at Eye, reports:—" On Sunday the brig Sir Colin Campbell, of Whitby, was seen making for the harbour, with a signal of distress flying, about three p. m. It was blowing at the time a gale from the south west, and there was a heavy sea on. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution stationed at this place was immediately manned and launched, and proceeded to the vessel. When about two lengths from the brig the lifeboat met the crew in their longboat, and the captain fearing to cross the bar through such heavy surf, the crew, six in number, were taken into the lifeboat and safely landed in Bye harbour. They were much exhausted from pumping, the vessel having six feet of water in her hold when they abandoned her. After bringing the crew of the brig ashore the lifeboat returned to the vessel, and with the crews of two galleys assisted to lighten her, and the Oixt tide, the weather moderating, the vessel was fortunately got \, tf the bar and brought into harbour." TRIAL OF NEW LIFEBOATS.— On Thursday some harbour trials were made in the Regent's Canal Dock, Limehouse, with two new lifeboats belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution. There were present Mr Thos. Chapman, F. R. B.; Sir Edward Perrott, Capt De St Croix, Mr R. Lewis, Mr W. H. Harton, Capt D. Robertson, R. N., and several other gentlemen. Both boats under- went the usual trials of self- righting and self- ejecting the water of the craft of the National Lifeboat Institution. One of the boats, which is 33 feet long, and rows 10 oars, double- banked, is intended for Teignmouth, Devon, to replace an old and inferior boat there. She is an experimental boat, built of iron, and being the first lifeboat on the self- righting principle which has been made of that material. She was constructed by Mr Hepworth, the iron ship- builder at Millwall, under the immediate superintend- ence of Mr Joseph Prowse, of Her Majesty's Dockyard, Woolwich, surveyor to the institution. Her cost was raised at the British settlements at Hong Kong and Shanghai, in 1862, by Mr W H. Harton, a member of the general committee of the Lifeboat Insti- tution, in conjunction with Messrs Gilman and Co, of Hong Kong, for the express purpose of presenting a lifeboat to the so- ciety. to be stationed on the English coast In compliment to the subscribers, who thus remembered an important work in their own country when far away from it, she has been named the China. A new and commodious boat- house has been built for her at Teignmouth, and she has been supplied with a new transport- ing carriage. The other boat which was tried on Thursday is 30 leet long, rows 10 oars double- banked, and is to go to Swansea. Blie was built by the Messrs Forrestt, of Limehouse, lifeboat builders to the National Institution. The Great Western Railway and the other connecting railway companies have, as usual, readily given a free conveyance to each of the boats to its desti- nation on the coast. STANHOPE ROWING CLUB.— The first match of the above club ( just established) came off on Monday, Oct 5, in four- oared boats ! the course was from Westminster Bridge to Cadogan Pier, Chel- sea, and three boats started, with the following results:— H. Wighton, E. Robinson, W. Burton, C. Jeff'rys, E. Simms ( cox), 1; J. Capper, L. Mayer, F. Smith, J. Penfold, J. Barnett ( cox), 2 ; T. Skeel, P. Coker, J. Wighton, J. Donoghue, J. Weber ( cox), 10. Mr E, Hopkins officiated as umpire and starter, and got the men away very fairly. The three crews rowed together a few lengths, and then fenfold's crew began to draw out, for in less than a quarter of a mile they led by a length, the winners last. At Lam- beth Suspension Bridge Penfold and Co drew further away, and Donoghue's crew were a length ahead of Jeffrys's ; but as they neared Milbank Pier the latter put on a fine spurt, and col- laring them, passed them between the pier and Vauxhall Bridge, and going into second place began to pick the leaders up. At Nine Elms Pier Jeffrys's nose just went over their opponents' stern, but they fell away again till opposite the distillery, when almost imperceptibly"!, hey came up, and a fine race ensued from here to the Suspension Bridge, where Jeffrys's passed their opponents and took their water. Such a hard stern wager as they had rowed began to tell a tale, and Penfold and partners put on another spurt and overlapped them, but to no purpose. Both the crews were now exhausted, and Jeffrys's finally came in a length ahead, the third crew being three lengths astern of Penfold. Eor the first race of a club this was very finely and keenly contested, and bids fair to prognosticate a bright future. PBIDE OF WESTMINSTER AQUATIC CLUB.— The members of this club rowed their fourth four- oared race of the season on Tuesday, Oct 6. The course was from Westminster Bridge to Old Battersea Bridge, and the competitors were as under:— Kilsby's crew: J. Castle, A. Spice, W. Spencer, E. Kilsby, H. Dobson ( cox). Hayes's crew: J. M'Alpin, G. Brown, C. Boden, E. Hayes, G. Martin ( cox). Dol win's crew : 8. Cooper, R. Allen, A. Caiger, R. Dolwin, J. Little ( cox). H. Cole's crew: H. Tam- madge, G. Gage, G. Fountain, H. Cole, W. Burton ( cox). Mr G. Hobbs was manager of the race, and the men all got off together, Kilsby soon after drawing out and taking a decided lead, Hayes's crew last. This order was maintained to near Vauxhall Bridge, where Fountain, in H. Cole's boat, broke his stretcher, and this enabled Hayes to become third, and a fine race ensued between the latter and Dolwin's crew to the bridge, where Dolwin fell astern. They, however, stuck to their opponents right up to Pimlico Pier, and even overlapped them, but Hayes gradually left them, and led at the Railway Bridge by two lengths, Cole, as before stated, nowhere. This order was maintained right to the finish, Kilsby winning by two lengths; double that distance between second and third. TAGG AND COLLIS.— The match between J. Tagg of Moulsey and G. Collis of Hampton, made some time ago, is progressing favourably, and comes off an Tuesday, Oct 13, from Putney to Mortlake. Both men ( who have rowed against each other before) are going on well, Collis being at Mr Wilcox's, the White Hart, Barnes, and Tagg at Mr Pankhurst's, the Bull's Head, Tagg being the favourite. Citizen B accompanies the race, and leaves London Bridge at 12: 30. NEW SCHOONER YACHT.— Mr Samuel John White, of East Cowes, the builder of the R. Y. 8. schooners Sabrina and Cam- panera, has received directions to build a schooner yacht of 260 tons for the Marquis of Conyngham, the Vice- Commodore of the squadron. RAY AND BACCHUS.— We understand that a rather unusual match will come of! ou Friday, Oct 23, an individual of the name of W. Ray having undertaken to row against Messrs Bacchus from Putney to Mortlake, for £ 20 a side, Ray to scull against their pair- oared boat. E. Pratt of Horselydown will row a match either below or above bridge, in old- fashioned boats, with either man that con- tended for the City of London Rowing Match for a coat and badge. The match can be made on Tuesday, Oct 13, at J. Kempton's, Rising Sun, Fair- street, Horselydown, for £ 10 or £ 20 a side. H. Cole of Chelsea will row T. Wilson of Newcastle, for £ 50 or £ 100 a side, and allow reasonable expenses, or he will row G. Cannon of Black wall from Putney to Mortlake. An answer through Bell's Life will be attended to. EDMONDES AND REES.— We have received a further sum of £ 5 a side for this match. ROWING ALMANAC AND OARSMAN'S COMPANION.— The Editor has sincere gratification in thanking the aquatic community for the great success his work has met with. It is now in its fourth year, receiving universal patronage from all rowing clubs and sporting men. In Melbourne, Sydney, and other places it has had during the last year an extensive sale, and agents are appointed.— Bee advertisement to secretaries in this number.— 1, Great Cheyne- row, Oct 10, 1863. FOOTBALL. CRUSADERS v WESTMINSTER. DEAR BELL : The Crusaders played their opening match this season against Westminster on the 7th instant, at Vincent- square, and though several of their best knights did not enter " the lists," partly owing to some having " listed in the blues,'' and to others being absent without leave, and not leaving their absent addresses behind them, the poor steward was " in the blues" also when he tried to " Call spirits from the vasty deep;" Btill, the black and red showed well " to the fore," and " four" came well " to the show," Eight knights in person and the ethers by proxy or substitute ( or substituted by proxy) succeeded in " holding their own,'' and making their adversaries " own their hold" of the goal for some time; but " Vita longa brevis est' ( in the wind); or, " Old ' uns are all very well till they get blown;" and though the strength of the knight of Walsingham's leg was so great that, when he kicked the ball against the goal- string, nobody was capable of deciding whether it went under or over, " Nemo Crusader- nw) i omnibus horis sapit;'' or, you cannot expect men's " understandings " to be much when they have " lost their legs,'' and though everybody was game to the last, still at the last the game ended without a game. The Crusa- ders derived great comfort ( whether spiritual or otherwise, I leave to the imagination) from the presence of the archbishop ( their chaplain), who, however, did not do so much as might rea- sonably have been expected from " his grace,'' except by gracing the lunch with his presence, and presenting his " grace " before lunch. The sides were:— Westminster: W. W. C. Lane, M. O. Sim, B. Preston, F. Giles, F. Whittaker, A. Dowdeswell, G. Dowdeswell, F. L. Harrison, J. P. Nichols, E. S. Vidal, R. Har- ley, and J. E. Taylor.— The Crusaders: E. O. Berens, H. Malkin, M. Thorns, F. Steward, R. D. Cleasby, H. T. Steward, R. Whar- ton, G. Bennett, H. A. Hunt, A. Severn, the chaplain, C. Upper- ton. As it is " oderous to draw comparisons," I will only say that all on both sides played their best; and the result of the game proves that, trying to prove a result from such a result, is proof that there is no proof for a result, and, therefore, I leave it to the next match to prove a result, and hoping it will result in a proof that the Crusaders are proof against any bad result.— Yours, fcc, CRUSADER. RUGBY SCHOOL. FIRST DAY OF THE SIXTH V SCHOOL.— This match began at Rugby on Saturday, Oct 3, when the interest shown in the match, and the zeal with which it was played, showed that if cricket is the game of the summer, football is no less attractive at a time when cricket is impracticable. The day was fine, and the ground left nothing to be desired. The School, as usual, had the school goal, a disadvantage on this occasion on account of the wind, which blew freshly from the south, and having won the toss, the Bchool kicked off. The ball, however, was soon carried back, and after a little less than half an hour's play the first goal was kicked by the Sixth by Lloyd. The sides then changed over, and the Bchool now having the wind in their favour, an hour's wonder- fully even game ensued. Both sides followed up well, and the . ball was kept hovering at an equal distance from either goal, ex- • cept when carried one way by the quick runs of Martin, or the other by " the artful dodger" Hood. At length, however, the weight of the Bchool gave it the advantage, and the Sixth were driven slowly back, until, just before the close of the afternoon, Holland succeeded in running in, and a goal was kicked for the School by Poole ma. On Monday, Oct 5, the game was resumed, and resulted in an easy victory for the Sixth. Among those who specially distinguished themselves in this match may be men- tioned Martin ( O. R.), Davis ( O. K.), Morrell, Buckmaster, and Hart ( O. R.) for the Sixth; for the School, Hood ( O. R.), Calde- cott, Heatley, and Poole. WESTMINSTER SCHOOL. THE FIRST SEVEN V NEXT SIXTEEN.— Ibis match was played at Vincent- square on Tuesday, Sept 29. The game was obstinately contested throughout, but eventually superior numbers prevailed, and a goal was obtained for the Sixteen by Taylor. The Seven were deprived of the valuable services of Preston, but his place was filled by Vidal, who, together with Giles, Sim, and Nichols, played well. The following are the sides :— The Seven: W. W. C. Lane, M. O. Sim, F. Giles, F. Whittaker, A. Dowdeswell, G. Dowdeswell, and E. S. Vidal.— The Sixteen : H. E. Trevor, A. J. Mackey, F. P. Tomlinson, F. L. Harrison, J. P. Nichols, H. Walker, J. E. Taylor, J. Circuitt, E. Jermyn, G. Heath, R. Har- ley, F. Hunt, C. Short, B. H. West, W. E. Wylde, and G. W. Chapman. [ Matches cannot be inserted which are written on both sides of the paper.] 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. Terms very moderate. " A correct knowledge of the game and a good method are indispensable to play well, the execution thereof very simple." KNUR AND SPELL— Kirk Stables of Wortley will play Job Pearson of Farsley, or Jos. Coward, and give them five scores in 30 rises, or give W. Sutcliffe seven scores, for £ 25 or £ 50 a side. A match can be made by sending a deposit to J, Kellett, Low Moor, and articles to Kirk Stables. THE RING.

FIGHT BETWEEN MICKY GANNON AND JOE BALDGCK, FOR £ 100 A SIDE. This match took place on Tuesday, Oct 6, on the home circuit, and may fairly take rank as about the most blackguardly exhi. bition of the kind ever witnessed in the London Ring. We do not mean as far as the fight itself was concerned, but with regard to the conduct of the partisans of the respective boxers. Not only was it the East End divided against itself, but all the very worst elements of the Seven Dials district were also imported. The ring- keepers were utterly powerless; the ring was continually filled with the friends of the men ; the referee was frightened out of his seven senses, and threatened with condign punishment unless he awarded the battle money to both men at the same time ; and, altogether, the saturnalia was of a character which went far to justify the edifying comments which have been lately made in some obscure journals upon the subject of pugilism. A new system has, we regret to see, crept into the practice of the P. R., which must end in the utter downfal of the profession, and that at a very early date, unless it is at once put an end to. It is this:— The backers of each man select such members of the P. R. as possess the most powerful lungs, the largest collection of beastly language, and the most ruffianly appearance, and " put them on,'' as it is termed, say £ 5 or £ 10 to nothing, on condition that they " jolly" for their man, and do all they can to obstruct the mill if it is going against him, and to intimidate the referee should their friend be compelled to resort to foul practices to save his money. We regret that even some of the men whom we have always reckoned among the best of the members of the association have lately lent themselves. to this practice, . which must soon bring them into contempt, and will infallibly prevent gentlemen from being present at exhibitions at which, if this practice is not at once checked, their very lives will not be safe. It has been too often seen lately that one half the ring- keepers have been retained to jolly on one side, and one half on the other, so that in fact their duties have been utterly neglected that they may do what they can for their pals. This game is a very recent introduction, as we have above said. It utterly prevents fair play, and as fair play and manliness are the only grounds on which we can defend the Ring and its practices, we may at once state that the instant it becemes ap- parent that these grounds are no longer attainable, we shall be the first to take a course opposed to that we have so long endea- voured to run, and shall do all that in our power lies to abolish the practice of the once- called noble art altogether in the Prize Ring — however much we may encourage the use of the gloves— and will also leave no stone unturned in order to improve the degraded pugilist off the face of this fair country. The superior class of boxers may think this a hard course; but we ask them, have they ever in any way attempted to assist us, or our representatives, either by their example or by their physical exertions, in our efforts to secure fair play, or have they not been wilfully blind, or winked their eyes, at what they must know was contrary to all their professed principles, and subversive of all that could be possibly urged in their favour ? How an altera- tion for the better is to be made we know not; that is a problem for others to solve; we have tried our hand and failed. The funds of the P. B. A. are now fast subsiding into nothing, as there is scarcely ever a mill at which the sale of inner ring tickets covers the expenses ( on this occasion they were not one- third), and shortly there will be nothing on which to fall back to secure even the almost useless service of the present constables, and the police of the Ring must perforce fall into the hands of self- constituted ring- keepers, whose chief duty will, of course, be to assist in securing victory to that side which best suits their pockets, and then we shall merely have a measure of pocket against pocket to try who can raise the biggest body of ruffians; light will be upset by inight, and so the practice of public boxing will be at once extirpated. Of the treatment we have to submit to in our own office, some remarks will be found below. We must now to our task. This was the second battle between these men, the first having been lost by Gannon « n the 12th of May, owing to his falling without a blow in the 31st round, at the end of 58 minutes. Micky was on that occasion out of condition, and so his friends determined to give him a second trial. He is 5ft 7in in height, and weighs nearly lOst; his age is 22. He was backed by Bill Richardson, of the Blue Anchor, Church- street. Baldock hud de- feated Jack Brookes prior to fighting Gannon. He is 5ft weighs 9st 71b, and is, like Gannon, 22 years of age. He hailed from Shaw's, Queen's Head, Crown- court, but had also behind him some of the East End division. An aquatic trip was deter- mined on, and a more riotous and ruffianly collection, we think, we never saw. They quickly reached the appointed spot, and by nine o'clock were ready for business. THE FIGHT. Round 1. Both men are smart, well- made fellows, and although when they had peeled, Micky about the chest and loins looked a little the bigger man, yet there was that undeniable stamp of re- solution depicted on Baldock's physiognemy that seemed to justify the statements of his friends, that he was one of the gamest men that ever stepped within the ropes. He had a more hardy and a more wiry look than the Irish boy, who in the opinion of many good judges was not endowed with those qualifications requisite for the wear and tear of a hard fought contest. No sooner had the men been presented in " due form" at the scratch than Gannsn drew out, and got near the ropes on his own side of the ring. Baldock, who was full of impetuous action, and seemed burning to get to work, followed up, led the left, and delivered on the right cheek. Gannon on the instant countered with a fine left- hander straight from the shoulder on the ivories. As Micky drew back, Baldock, with more determination than judgment, went dashing at him, when Gannon sent in another tremendous smasher on the nozzle, from which there was a copious supply of the ruby, so that the first of the three events was thus decided in favour of Micky. Baldock fought his man with both mawleys, but although he got on the front of the dial with the left, and also made use of the right from the half- arm, yet he did not appear to make the least im- pression. They closed at the repes in Gannon's corner, when Micky, who for the moment had his back to them, having skil- fully twisted from an awkward position, got down. 2. On coming up the men again got near the ropes on Gannon's side of the ring. Baldock, eager for business, led the left at the nob, but was stopped, Micky having the right guard well poised. Gannon having got well to distance dashed out the left, and de- livered well in the middle of the dial, and followed up with the right, with which, from the half- arm, he did a little extra busi- ness. Micky, in shifting from his man, got all round the ring ; Baldock, who was bleeding from his right peeper as well as dis- tilling from the snout, following with impetuous action. After having got here and there in all partsof the ring they again went to work. In the rapid exchanges Micky once more made efficient use of his left, hitting not only with fine precision, but with stinging force, on the right daylight, cheek, and nose, while with the right he also did some execution on the left side of the knowledge- box. Baldock was far from being idle, for he worked away with both mawleys, but although he seemed to rub in the polish with a will, yet his hitting did not produce much impression. Having once more weaved in Micky dashed out a left- handed dig at the victualling depart- ment, and now the men as they got together were followed by their seconds in a most improper manner, and it is alleged that Baldock's leading second stopped Micky's hand as he was letting it go. The " Mohawks" were on the instant in a state of frenzy. The East End " Anchorite," having forgotten the calmness suited to a sage, sprung between the ropes, and as others followed, the ring in a moment became one scene of confusion, in the midst of which Baldock was led back to his corner by his seconds, who are a great deal too clever not to know when and how they may do that which is opposed to the rules with impunity. Never have we seen so total a disregard for rules as was exhibited by the par- tisans of the men. and there can be no doubt the referee would have been perfectly justified had he at once put a stop to the pro- ceedings and awarded the money to Gannon as the better man. 3. Micky had already punished his man, and had a strong lead. When time had been called, Micky came at once to the scratch, but it was not until the referee had given an ominous glance at the " ticker" that Baldock was roused up for action by his seconds. Micky, who had his man quite open before him, administered a fine left- hander on the right cheek, and got well from him. Having taken up a fresh position, the men again went to work. Micky, after leading the left, and delivering a little more of his knuckle burnish on the mouth, dropped a right- hander from the half arm on the body, being, however, a good deal too round. Baldock, who was resolved not to be denied, fought his way to a close, when the men went down at the ropes, Gannon under. 4. Micky delivered another swinging left- hander on the jaw. Pulling himself well together on the instant, Baldock, as Gannon opened to make a fresh disposition, went up, and with the right put in a fine coating on the ribs, and in the exchange at close range also made good use of the left on the dial, although these blows did not appear to make the least impression. In the struggle both went down, Baldock under. The ring was still occupied by more than the men and their seconds, and there was a great deal of confusion. 5. Gannon with the left home in an effective style on the nose and right ogle, which again became suffused with the dye. Bal- dock, fighting with more impetuous action than cool judgment, again administered the right on the body, when Micky, in get- ting away, went down near his own corner, Joe falling on him. 6. Gannon, with the left, delivered again and again full on the middle of the dial, and did a great deal of effective execution. Baldock, as his man drew out, came on, and they fought left and right in a regular ding- dong fashion at the head, the hitting being all in favour of Micky, who got on the right cheek and kisser with the left, and on the side of the pimple with the right. In getting from his man Gannon got down in the middle of the ring. 7. Baldock sent in a regular gauger with his right on the ribs. As Micky drew from his man Joe followed, when Gannon hit out left and right, but did no execution, as these blows were out of distance. In a determined style the men fought left and right to a close, and fell forward on their faces on Gannon's side of the ring. 8. Baldock had been again and again urged to steady himself in the preceding bouts without effect, but on coming up he seemed resolved to act upon the excellent advice of counsel, for he un- questionably put himself in form with much more coolness and self- possession than he had yet displayed. Gannon, who took the initiative, led the left, but was not quite up to the point. Baldock put in a left- hander on the mark, and then they fought left and right to a close, Gannon, who again delivered the left on the mazzard with fine precision, having all the best. After a struggle, in which both in turn got on the ropes, they went down. 9. The men shifted to the ropes on Gannon's side of the ring, when Baldock, with the right, gave another dig on the body, Micky, with the left, administering with effect full on the right cheek. The men closed at the ropes, when Gannon got from his man, Baldock failing on him while down. 10. This was a well- fought round. Gannon, with the left, put in a fine telling shot on the nasal organ, producing more of the home- brewed, which so warmed Joe up that he dashed at his man with spirit and energy; with the right he delivered a stinger from the half arm on the body ; and then, on the fine old prin- ciple of give and take, they fought with both mawleys, Micky in this fine rally making effective use of his well- delivered left on the mouth, nose, and right daylight, and with the right with some clumping thwacks on the side of the pepper- castor. Baldock worked away with a will, but, from the little impression made on his opponent's nob, it was apparent there was a great lack of steam. Gannon, in getting from his man. went down. 11. Gannon administered a fine one, two with the left on the right cheek, and got well from his man ; Baldock's returns not to distance. As Micky retreated Joe came dashing on to shorten the perspective, and m theie rapid movements they made the circuit of the ring. At length they steadied themselves and came well together, when they fought left and right, Micky, who was by far the most effective, laying it on in unmistakable style. Baldock was again and again all over the surface, but the " lines'' he drew were of the faintest. The men closed in Gannon's corner and fell. 12. Baldock on coming from his corner was quite blind with the right lamp. Still he met his man with the utmost gameness and resolution, and as Gannon got from him after getting home with terrific force with the left, made a well- intentioned upper- cut with the right, but missed. As Gannon drew from his man and took fresh ground Baldock followed, when Micky delivered another stinger on the right peeper, Baldock putting in the right mawley in return on the body. The men in a rally fought across the ring to Gannon's corner, when Micky went down. 13. No sooner had the men come together than Baldock, after leading and being partly stopped with the right guard, got hold of Micky round the waist, and tried for the throw. Micky, how- ever, twisted from him, and after some more exchanges, Gannon making effective use of the left, they closed and went down. 14. As regards the merits of the men, a more one- sided affair could not have been witnessed, for Baldock did not in science have the least chance with his man; and the only thing his friends had to rely upon was his game and the vigour of his con- stitution. Joe, on coming up, took the initiative, and with the right gave another of his favourite digs on the body, and then, as Micky drew out, made a tine attempt to administer a right- handed upper- cut. As Baldock broke ground Gannon followed, and after some exchanges in favour of Micky they got on the ropes, when Joe went down. 15. Gannon put in a fine straight- un from the left on the right cheek, Baldock from the half- arm putting some more plaister on the ribs. The men closed near the ropes, Joe under in the fall. 16. The instant the men came up they went to work in a merry fashion, and in a fine bit of two- handed milling fought to a close, when Gannon got from his man and went down, Joe falling on him. There was again a great deal of excitement in the ring, and the referee had much difficulty in getting a clear ring. 17. Gannon, the first to come from his corner, was so impatient to commence that he went over the centre for the purpose of meeting his man. Baldock delivered a half- arm hit with the right on the body, Micky with his dangerous left doing telling execution on Joe's phiz. The men fought left and right to a close, and went down. 18. Baldock, although so much punished about the head, was yet wonderfully strong, and came from his corner in the same firm and resolute style be had done at the commencement of the tourney. Baldock,' who had been advised to keep stirring his man up, administered another dose on the ribs; Micky, with the left, did duty ow the dial, getting home on tke cheek, tater trap, and right ogle, which, though long since wholly closed, had several awkward- looking cuts about it. The men closed at the ropes, when Gannon in getting from his man went down. 19. Micky's left again on the old spot, and then on the finish- ing principle he fought his man with both mawleys to a close, when both went down. 20. Gannon, who hit well over his man's guard, got well home on the cheek with the left; Baldock delivered another right- handed tickler on the ribs, when Micky, after making further use of his left on the nob, got from his man and went down. 21. Gannon again all there with the left, and the men having taken fresh ground, fought at the nob, Micky making such effi- cient use of the left that he sent Joe staggering from him, and so decided the first knock- down. 22. The men again got to the ropes, when Baldock, in lunging out got the right home heavil}- on the body ; Micky, who fought with both mawleys, again delivered in a very effective style on the mazzard. They closed at the ropes, when after a struggle both went down, Gannon under. 23. Gannon, who took the initiative, delivered a fine effective volley with the left on the dial. JBaldock in getting from his man got to the ropes, and having got once more to measure, Joe administered the right from the forearm on the body. The men after some exchanges broke, then again fought left and right, all in favour of Gannon, who, as usual, got home with great severity on the dial, to a close, when both went down. 24. The ring was once more in great confusion, and just as the men were about to be sent from their corners, there was the well- known cry of " Police;" and sure enough the rurals were found to be close at hand, and the referee at once ordered the men to be taken from the ring, and the " camp" broken up, the contest having lasted 54 minutes. The referee made a fresh selection of ground, the ring was got in readiness with all possible despatch, and by a few minutes after one o'clock the inea had once more been delivered at the scratch. Bal- dock, when he met his man in the ring, bore the marks of heavy punishment about the nob, and from the appear- ance of his physiognomy it was evident the interval that had oc- curred had been by no means beneficial to him. Still, he was wonderfully strong, and it was this fact that caused his friends to have some little hope that if he did not lose the use of his left peeper, he might from sheer physique be enabled to wear his man out. Gannon presented a striking contrast to his antagonist, for the punishment he had received about the head was of an unim- portant character. Gannon thinking he had his man so com- pletely licked, went to him for the purpose of forcing the fighting, and some of the bouts were fought in a very quick and rapid manner, the hitting, as it had been in the first Ring, being all in favour of Gannon. As, however, the merits of the men can be fully judged from the above description of the contest, it would be superlluous for us to go into details of the eleven additional rounds fought. Although the referee attempted to keep the ring clear, the same confusion prevailed, and such things were done by the partisans of Baldock as werenever before witnessed. Baldock to- wards the close evinced a decided predilection for his own comer, into which Gannon once or twice went and fought him, when the " confusion" among the friends of Baldock became worse than ever. In the thirty- fifth and last round, if so it may be called, there was not the least semblance of a blow struck. Again and again the men were ordered to the scratch by the referee, and no sooner had Baldock obeyed that mandate than he retreated to his corner, where Micky would not follow him, owing, as he in- formed us, to the manner in which he had before been treated, and to thethieats of Baldock's friends, which we must admit were anything but calculated to inspire Micky with confidence. Baldock wasfast going blind with his remaining good eye, and from the con- dition he was in it iscertain that had matters " gone on velvet'' he must have had to succumb. Forty- two minutes were consumed in doing nothing. At length, there having been in the aggregate thirty- five rounds fought in two hours and six minutes, the police once more made their appearance, so that for the second time the referee had to order the men to leave the ring, a couple of the rurals having come up. When all had got once more on board, it was stated Baldock had been taken into custody by the police, and when this was found to be the case, the backers of Gannon were by no means slow to assert that had there been the least desire to do so, the friends of Baldock might easily have pre- vented his being taken, as the police had no wish or thought of do- ing anything more than merely preventing the cantesfc being con- | tinued. The referee, finding how matters stood, ordered the men and their backers to meet at our office on Thursday morning, at twelve o'clock. On Thursday the representatives of the men treated us to one'of the usual levees, which our position compels us to hold, in which loud voices and unabashed falsehood were used as the instru- ments to blind our eyes to justice, and it was not till our room was cleared of all save one representative of each man, that we could get on anything like terms, or ascertain the point at issue, which turned out to be that Gannon's friends accused Baldock of wilfully giving himself up ; while Baldock's backers as strenuously denied this fact, and declared the man could not get away from the police. Certain evidence was laid before us by Gannon's friends, however, which, coupled with inquiries we subsequently caused to be made, convinced us that their accusation was founded on fact, and the referee, on Friday morning, when the parties again met at our office, awarded the money to Gannon. Directly this just decision was given, our office was filled by a band of ruffians, at the head of whom were Ward, of the Iron Founders' Arms, Greenwich, Young Billy Shaw, Tom Tyler, and Baldock himself, who assailed us and our reporter with the vilest abuse, and Baldock and another of his friends, a pedestrian named Myers, we believe, with frightful oaths declared that they would take the life of our Ring reporter the first time they caught him in the streets. Young Tyler and Ward were no way behindhand in their threats, and the scene altogether was of such a nature as we never witnessed before, and will take care shall not occur again in our office. Finally we were compelled to summon the assistance of our whole staff of compositors to clear the room, but the company did not take their departure without threatening to wreak their vengeance upon every one who did not think with them at the earliest opportunity. That Ward and Tyler should distinguish themselves as they did was not surprising, as the opposite course is with them the exception to the rule ; but that Baldock and Shaw, who have hitherto conducted themselves to us with propriety and civility, should so far forget what is due to us we confess took us quite aback; but this did not surprise us so much as the cool cheek ( we can call it nothing else) of Shaw, who a very few minutes after this scene, while Baldock's threats were still ringing in our ears, returned to our office, and with the calmness of innocence requested us to give Baldock a leg up, as a beaten man, and beg hisfriendsto pay himfor his colours as though he had won. This truly modest request startled us not a little, and on our asking what was the ground for it after Baldock's conduct, we were told he was a little excited and that we might make some allowance for a beaten man, who had taken such a licking with- out flinch ing. We stated to Shaw that he knew as well as we did that Baldock had been privy to his own apprehension, a fact Shaw did not attempt to deny. Before he left we promised we would lay his request before our readers, and we have now fulfilled our pro- mise, but whether the barefaced impudence of the proposition will earn for Baldock the reward to which his ruffianism certainly disentitles him we know not. He may take it from us, how- ever, that both he and his mentor, Shaw, are no longer members of the Association, from which also Tom Tyler's name has again been erased, and that until he has un- learned the ruffianism in which he has been recently educated, and has betaken himself onoe again to civility and decency, he had better refrain from showing his face in or near our office. All his associates also may rest assured that should they attempt by gesture or action of any kind to intimidate any one connected with our establishment, warrants will at once be issued for their apprehension, and they will at once be bound over to keep the peace. Before taking leave of this affair, we are requested by the proprietors of this journal to state that unless the present system of terrorism, only exercised by a certain clique, is at once and for ever put an end to, which can be done with the greatest ease by the parties most interested— the pugilists themselves— Bell's Life in London will cease to be the organ of the Ring, and every effort will be used on our part to put an end to a sport which, as at present carried on, cannot be defended on any ground whatever. Whether gentlemen will ever again be persuaded to venture to the ring side is a problem yet to be solved. The money is to be given to Gannon at Mr Prior's, Black Lion, Whitefriars- street, on Thursday, Oct 15. THE £ 2,000 MATCH. HEENAN AND TOM KING.— Another deposit of £ 50 a side has been made for this match at Harry Orme's, Jane Shore, Shore- ditch. The next is fixed to be made at Bhaw's, on Thursday, Oct 22. THE CHAMPIONSHIP. MACE AND RYALL.— This match is going on. Another £ 10 a side has reached our hands, and we must receive similar sums next week. FIGHT BETWEEN FRED FISHER OF BIRMINGHAM AND PEGGY WOLF OF NOTTINGHAM, FOR £ 20.— This affair came off on Wed- nesday morning, Oct 7, near Woodbury, ten miles from Notting- ham. Fisher has repeatedly figured in the ring. His last en- counter was with young Dan Crutchley of Birmingham, to whom he was obliged to knock under. For the present match he was decidedly more fleshy than could have been wished. Wolf has figured in two previous encounters, which have ended in draws. He is a stout- built man, 32 years of age, and stands 5ft 9jin high, and his weight is about lOst 91b. Fisher is under lOst. Wolf's friends, who mustered in strong force, backed him freely at 6 to 4, which was readily taken by Fisher's friends. Fisher was seconded by Joe" Faulkner and a Nottingham friend. Wolf was attended by Alf Marshall and Jem Cummins. Fisher gained the first event in the first round by drawing the crimson with a rattler in the mouthpiece, and in the fourth round he got the knock down by a left- hander in the neck. Despite the gameness of Wolf, which was allowed by all, Fisher's youth and strength carried all before it; he got all over his man's phiz. Wolf in return made good work, and repeatedly visited Fisher's phiz and ribs, but not with sufficient strength to be effective. Fisher, as the fight continued, managed to get on to both of Wolf's peepers, and at the 35th round Wolf's seconds, consider- ing his chance gone, threw up the sponge in token of defeat; but he would not have it, and stood up for another round, but only to receive further punishment. Thirty- six rounds were fought in 37 minutes, when Wolf crossed over and shook Fisher's hand, who was then declared the winner. CURLEY AND LAVIN.— On Monday, Oct 5, about 500 persons as- sembled at Shipley to witness the fight, for £ 10 a side, between E. Curley and J. Lavin ( both of Dewsbury). The ring was formed at a rather early hour, and to work the men went, neither exhibit- ing much skill in the noble art; yet, what was deficient in science, they made up by game. They fought 22 rounds, which oc- cupied lh ISmin, when those unwelcome gents in blue put in their appearance, and Curley was seized while in a cab by the bluebottles and taken in custody to Bradford, and during the day his opponent was also taken while in bed at a public in Bradford. During the whole of the fight it would have puzzled an Old Bailey lawyer to tell which was the better . nan. Curley got the first blood and Lavin the first knock down. For obvious reasons we omit the names of the seconds. On Tuesday, Oct 6, both men were placed before Major Wood, a West Riding magistrate, at Bradford, when Police- sergeant 81ingsby, of the West Riding constabulary, stated his case, and the men were bound over to keep the peace for twelve months. Goss ANB MACE.— Mr Tupper requests us to say the follow- ing are the sums he received on behalf of Goss in his late match with Mace:— Mr Wallace £ 145, Mr Thomas £ 20, ditto £ 20, Mr Webberly £ 80, Mr Daniels £ 10, Mr Thomas £ 10, MrColyer£ 10, Mr Wyatt £ 3, Mr Wedge £ 5, Mr Savage £ 5, Mr Brittle £ 4, Mr Duckworth £ 5, Tom Barman £ 5, Goss £ 20, Mr Tarwig £ 10, Mr Simpson £ 5, Mr Brooks £ 2 10s, Mr Ashdown £ 5, Mr Puzey £ 5, Mr Price £ 5, Mr Sharp £ 2 10s, Mr Pickering £ 10, Mr Sharp £ 2 10s, Mr Brown £ 5, Mr Wiltshire £ 5, Mr Morton £ 5— total £ 404 10s.

THE GRAND BENEFIT FOR TOM KING AT HACKNEY WICK, ON MONDAY NEXT, OCT 12.— Amorfg the many such like displays, the one on Monday bids fair to excite increased interest, from the fact that it is given to King previous to his going into active training for his great match with Heenan, for £ 2,000; and what- ever may be the eventual issue of this great national contest, all classes will acknowledge that King is well deserving of support, whether of the sporting community or otherwise. The excellent cha- racter, alone, of the English Champion, who thus comes boldly forth to do honour for his country's name, will cause those ef whatever opinion to acknowledge his claims, and, by a great muster, show the respect in which he is held, and provide a souvenir to cheer him on in the great struggle on the 8th of next December.

AQUATIC FEATS AT LAMBETH.— On Thursday evening, Oct 8, there was a display of feats at the Lambeth Swimming Baths, where a spirited competition was entered into for prizes in swim- ming. The performances commenced at a quarter past eight with a race of twice the length of the bath for youths under 16 years of age. This was swum for in five heats, and won by Atwood, Ni- cholson being second ; 22 started for this race. The second race was four times the length of the bath, between 14 amateurs, and was most spiritedly contested in three heats, being won by Stuart, Long coming in second. After this there was a race of 10 lengths of the bath, between Gardner, the 500 yards champion of England ( who won the quarter mile cup at Manchester), and Mr Carbonell, the champion of amateurs. This race was contested with close- ness, the swimmers seeming to touch the end of the bath at each length simultaneously, but in the last length Gardner contrived to beat his opponent by about an arm's length. A handicap race of eight lengths of the bath was next contested by 12 swimmers, and won by Harry Gurr, Parker being about a length behind him. After this a number of swimmers entered the bath to dis- play their skill. Mr Woodbridge. who has but one leg, but has nevertheless saved 50 persons from drowning; Mr G. Moore, an amateur, who is also minus a leg ; Mr Houson, Mr Ramage, and another, displayed surprising feats in the water. The Rev Mr Light, at the conclusion, said that he would give an annual medal to be competed for boys under 12 years of age.

MATCH for £ 25 a side. Lord Uffington's bd d Retribute. n, bv David out of Vengeance, beat Col Foster nsbd d Streamer, by Shooting Star out of Sylph As usual, Ashdown Park has led the way in inaugurating the coursing season in the South, Lord Craven's magnificent domain having been during the past week the scene of a brilliant and ex. citing meeting. The commencement of proceedings on Monday was scarcely indicative of the satisfactory results afterwards ob. tained, as the little village of Larnbourne presented anything but its usual animated appearance on the eve of an Ashdown gather" ing. This may be attributed to the fact of the outlying villages of Shrivenham, Ashby, & c, as well as various quarters adjacent to the ground, having been found more convenient and suitable for many owners and trainers who had on former occasions located themselves at Lambourne. The dinner party at " head- quarters," the Red Lion, was unusually small, and the proceedings exces- sively tame. The chair was taken by the popular hon sec, Mr Bowles, supported on either hand by Lord Ernest Bruce and Mr Brudenell Bruce; and prominently amongst the select few pre- sent we noticed Mr W. Long, Mr Dean, Mr Bland, Mr Faulkner, Mr Twigg, Mr Ellis, Mr Lloyd, Mr Mercer, Mr Scales, Mr Mor- gan, Mr Harris, Mr Myonett, & e, & c. From the above list it will be seen that many familiar faces were unfortunately absent. The only toast of the evening was " The Health of the Earl of Craven," which was briefly but warmly given by the chairman, and cor- dially responded to. The draw was then at once proceeded with, and got through without a " hitch," the result proving that the importance and prosperity of the Ashdown meetings, so far from in any way deteriorating, are steadily progressing, and that the falling off at Lambourne must be ascribed to causes quite apart from the actual success of the gathering. The Produce Stakes— always productive of large entries— exhibited on this occasion a decided increase over those of last year. For the Derby 39 were drawn out of the entered 48, and for the Oaks 51 were prepared to do battle of the 60 entered: the corresponding figures last autumn being for the Derby 41 entered, of which 34 came to the scratch, and for the Oaks 57 subscribers and 44 runners. Although Lord Sefton sent 14 to the scene of action, only three were drawn for the Derby and a like number for the Oaks, the others being en route for the Amesbury meeting ; and of Lord Grey de Wilton's team of 15, only four were drawn for the Derby and three for the Oaks, the residue being also reserved for the Wiltshire gathering. The draw, which did not commence until late, occupied the whole of the evening, and there was no attempt made to speculate; and after the Park End, at ten o'clock on the following morning, had been fixed upon as the first day's meet, the company separated at about eleven. Although cold and frosty in the early morning, the weather on Tuesday was throughout the day most delightful. The sun shone most brilliantly through- out the day, and gained towards noon such power that it seemed, like the Widow Green's " fortieth year," to bring " instead of autumn a second summer in." No mishap on the present occasion attended the printing of the cards, which were ready for delivery before the hour fixed for commenc- ing, and which, with the exception of the omission of pedigrees, were tolerably correct. The sport was unprecedentedly good, re- calling to many old coursers the palmiest days of Ashdown Park. Hares were most plentiful, and most of the trials exceedingly fine. Punctual to time the aristocratic cavalcade, comprising the " house party,'' arrived at the rendezvous, amongst whom we noticed Lord and Lady Craven, the Ladies Blanche, Beatrix, and Emily Craven, Lord and Lady Grey de Wilton, Mr Bruce and Lady Evelyn Bruce, Lord Sefton, Lord Uffington, Col Cecil Boothby. Col Bathurst, Col Goodlake, & c. The first brace of dogs were placed in slips at the foot of the hill rising for the Rubbing House for the Derby:— Dangerous and Symmetry: A good hare was quickly started, and ran slightly in favour of Dangerous, who gained first turn by three lengths, but turning rather wide, let in Symmetry, who wrenched; Dangerous then again got in front, and again turned to Sym- metry, who went on with the lead; in a tine stretch Dangerous drew past, turned, and Symmetry killed. Chieftain and The Moor ; After a good slip, both getting away together, on going a few lengths Chieftain drew away, and won a moderate course cleverly. North Briton and Sackbut ran very evenly together for the first two hundred yards, when Sackbut fell, North Briton going on wrenching to the surface of the down, where he shut up, and allowed Sackbut to take the hare and win in a most determined manner, the hare escaping in the Little Warren. Fantastic and Bayard: To a good hare beaten from Little Warren, Fantastic led, and quickly got command of his game, which he kept for a number of strong wrenches, driving her over Weathercock Hiil, and killing near Ashdown Park Wood. Loosefish and Filey ; The former led two lengths, turned twice, and stumbled, letting in Filey, who made the three following points, Loosefish taking the two next, when the hare escaped in the old Warren Plantation. Samaritan and Gymnast: The latter slightly led for the first turn, and afterwards won a long trial in the most hollow style. After a no- go Pretty Boy very decisively beat Dispute. Mosstrooper and Dictator: To a hare, which made for Compton Bottom, Moss- trooper led and scored the two first turns, Dictator taking the next, when Mosstrooper again resumed the lead, which he kept for a short distance, until Dictator came with a fine go- by took the hare to himself, and afterwards won a good trial throughout to the Old Warren. Degree and Paragon ran a very merry spin on the slope of Compton Bottom, Degree decidedly winning. Rifle and Turn of Luck: A scrambling slip, which gave Rifle a good position, driving his hare well to the top of the down, where Turn of Luck got in, but fell, but quickly coming again, a good contest followed to the Warren, Turn of Luck gaining the fiat from Mr Bennett, but there existed a difference of opinion as to the decision. Scholar and Friar Bacon: The Friar won a short trial in Compton Bottom rather cleverly. The Mogul and Lynch- law: After an undecided, Lynch- law led and turned, and was also afterwards faster and more clever than his opponent. Gelert and Golden Spark: The Spark showed most pace from slips, but Gelert reached the hare first, turned, and made the three following points. In rising the hill he fell, and Golden Spark then made several strong wrenches, until Gelert again took the hare away and won throughout. Locust and Gladiator: The latter was unsighted from slips, through which he lost the first turn, but when on the surface of the Down he outworked his opponent, and throughout a good spin won hand- somely. Morgan Rattler led Saccharometer, and scored the first points; they then exchanged a point to the face of the hill, where some more give and take work followed, but much in favour of Morgan Rattler. Geoffrey Gambado and Golden Rain: The former getting well placed on the inside, won a short trial to Thickthorn Copse. We now left Compton Bottom, and beat a portion of Maddle Farm. Crimson Spark and Dominie Samson had a cruelly long and absurd slip to a hare which started from some stubble. Dominie led, but the hare had got to the top of Mandown before she was reached, when they immediately went out of sight. They afterwards ran a considerable distance, which materially injured the chances of the winner ( Dominie) going further in the stake. Morgan Rattlar and Brother Sam: The latter led and won two- thirds of a good course, and finished with a kill of merit on the side of Mandown- hill. Thickthorn Copse was next beaten, from which 17 hares were driven, and pro- duced 12 very excellent trials. Lottery and Leap- frog: The latter got first from slip, but Lottery gained the first turn, and also out- worked his opponent, who made but two or three wrenches in the middle of the course, and killed. Charles the Third ran a pump- ing bye with Filey; the latter won well. We had now run through the Derby of 21 courses, including the undecided, by 1: 45, and at once commenced the Oak3 with Careless and Lepronia Lea. The former led from slips, and exhibited the most pace until the hare came back for the plantation; an exchange of points took place to some ricks, from where Lepronia worked the closest, and when Careless got in a good position she tripped twice, letting Lepronia go by her each time, the latter ulti- mately finishing with a good kill. Emily, who injured herself during exercise, and therefore ran on three legs, well beat Fan. Cornucopia and Golden Shower: The former displayed the most speed into a dip, when they momentarily went out of sight; when again coming into view Golden Shower had got possession, running close and well in the line of her hare, which she drove to near the summit of Mandown, and killed meritoriously. Gem led Golden Ear and won a nice trial, never leaving the course in doubt. Cerintha gained the race up from Rose of Wye Valley, and an exchange of points followed; Cerintha then made a good wrench, and turned; Rose of Wye Valley shooting in, killed, quite destroying her own chance. Money Spinner led Hobby Hawk, and obtained the first three points, when the latter got possession and wrenched twice. Money Spinner again taking the hare away, kept selfish possession until she killed. Fantail outpaced Bettter Times, putting the latter in, and giving three go- byes successively, and won a pipe- opening trial in a single- handed style, barely receiving any assistance from her opponent. Savourneen displayed both racing and clever working qualities, beating Polynesia shamefully in a long spin. Another good trial followed between Henrietta and Magpie, the former, the fastest and most clever, making a kill of some merit. Ring, on the upper ground, led from slips, but before reaching Pussy, Lecture shot past, got possession of the hare, and kept it for several points, until she fell, when Ring got in, wrenched twice, and killed. Matilda was three lengths faster than Bare Fact to some turnips, from whence she brought the hare back, and retained the command to cover. Euryanthe was also four lengths faster than Bellona, whom she put in twice, gave two go byes, and won in hollow style. Persevere and Simper were slipped to a rattling hare; the latter, taking the lead three lengths, turned, and, after scoring several strong wrenches, let in Perse- vere, who balanced the points; Simper then again got in, and well worked her game to the top of the hill, where she put in Persevere, who led out of view. When the hare came round, the latter was still leading, but coming down the hill she fell a cropper. Simper then gained a strong lead and was very busy, scoring four or five good points before Per- severe again joined in and got to the front and was leading to cover, when his lordship's bitch drew gradually past, and won, with plenty to spare, to Leighton Bushes. Sparkle had the foot of Civil Sally, but the latter was more clever, and won a fair course with not much to spare. Hippelaph got first to the hare on the outer circle, and never let the course be once in doubt, Chatterbox knocking the hare over, and Hippelaph killed. Peep o' Day led until the hare came round in favour of Luna, who closely worked the hare to some ricks, where she stumbled, but quickly regaining her leading position, she kept it until near the Spinney, where Peep o' Day gave a good go- by, but too late to recover the points she had lost in the early part of the course. Golden Hair led Civil Sal over the hill out of view ; after a short time they returned, Civil Sal holding the lead., and through- out to Leighton Bushes showing superiority. Ragadoon was too fast and clever for Lucy Weston, and Mona easily defeated Galo- pade in an equally short trial. Saccharina and Sappho: The hare mueh favoured the former; still Sappho ran round her, and won at all points, the hare escaping. Miriam led Bathilde for some lengths, when Bathilde went past and made a wide opening between them when rising the hill out of view. Coronella and Crown Princess also almost immediately after being slipped, went over the hill out of sight. Celaeno was about two lengths faster than Patch, and turned on the top of the down, from where Patch took the hare, to the slope of Kingston Warren, and won rather unexpectedly. After an undecided, Enigma won all the early points from Reparation in some turnips; when the hare broke away the latter got to work, and was fast winning, when Enigma shot up inside and killed. Wood Nymph had but little difficulty in beating Hiccory, and Circassian ran a bye, which finished the card of the day. As will be seen from the above details a more delightful day's sport can hardly be imagined, en- hanced as it was by the absence of any accident or desagreeable. Some of the puppies had gruelling trials, but on the whole the courses may be considered of an average description throughout the day, most of the competitors having to meet again upon equal terms. Independently of the large entry of the two produce stakes, this meeting, although early, is always looked forward to with great interest by coursers in the South and elsewhere. Many of the puppies en- gaged have not appeared previously in public excepting as saplings, and the running to- day of Mr Faulkner's puppies fully verified tny opinion expressed of them after I had seeen their running late in the spring at the Worcester Sapling Meeting. The running of Sackbut, Friar Bacon, Lynch Law, Gelert, Gladiator, and Looseflsh mostly took my eye during their run- ning for the Derby ; and in the Oaks Lepronia Lea, Gem from the Opera, Fantail, Savourneen. Simper, Civil Sal, Patch, Mona, and Sappho ran like promising greyhounds. Two great pots boiled over in the defeat of Sparkle and Celaeno, who were much fancied on the field. The beating throughout the day, under the direction of Messrs Bowles and W. Long, with the assistance of Mr Jones, jun, was very successfully carried out, but few hares escaping without a course, whereby we were enabled to run off the forty- six courses, with two undecideds and a no- go, by a few minutes after five o'clock. In the evening about 25 sat down to dinner at the Red Lion, presided over by Mr W. Long, who assisted Mr Bowles with the entry and draw for the Craven Cup, which numbered 27 entries, all being very satisfac- torily got through at an early hour. The fixture for the following day was the Rubbing House, at 10 a. m. WEDNESDAY.— During the night the weather had changed for the worse, rain falling in torrents early in the morning. At the time of starting it became fine overhead, and promised favourably, but about noon the rain again began to descend, and continued at intervals for the remainder of the day. After meeting as appointed at the Rubbing House, at ten a. m., we at once commenced beating the slopes of Compton Bottom. Owing to the wind, but few hares lay on this portion of the beat, but after getting into the long grass they became more numerous, and from Leighton Bushes, which were beaten, we had some excellent trials. We began with the first ties for the Derby. Dangerous and Chieftain : Dangerous did not exhibit the pace he showed the day before, Chieftain leading him three lengths, and winning at all points. Sackbut and Fantastic were both unsighted from slips; the former, first to view, got well placed, but when together he showed more speed throughout. Loose Fish and Samaritan: The hare bending in favour of the latter placed him in a good position; however, Loose Fish once in told him out, and won well, finishing with a splendid kill. Dictator ran round Pretty Boy, and beat him at all points, the hare escaping in Leighton Bushes. Degree and Turn of Luck were slipped to a hare at the moment she was going over the hill for Ashdown Wood, consequently in the race up both were unsighted. At the top they viewed their game, and both started on even terms. Turn of Luck soon drew away and made first turn, Degree scoring the following two, when the blue again took possession, and drove Lis hare to cover. Lynch Law on the inner circle gained first turn by two lengths, and kept in front to the top of the hill, when he became a little blown, and stumbled; Friar Bacon then put in a few points, until Lynch Law catne again, took the hare to himself, and kept it until it escaped in a rabbit's hole. Geoffrey Gambado and Morgan Rattler were un- sighted from slips, but when together Geoffrey won very decisively. Gelert and Gladiator: The latter led until Gelert changed sides; and the hare also coming round in his favour gave him first turn. Gladiator taking the two next; Gelert then again got in, and on the brow of the hill was in good command when they went out of my sight. To a hare beaten from Leighton Bushes Brother Sam led about three lengths, turned, Dominie Sampson, serving, fell a purler. He was soon up again, but immediately he got to the front he killed, thereby cutting his own throat. In the race up Lottery changed sides, got on good terms with his game, and, running very resolutely, never lest his position until he made a, good kill, beating Charles the Third very hollowly.— The Oaks ( first ties)— Lepronia Lea and Emily: The latter, three lengths the faster, gained the first turn and two following points: some exchanges then took place to the brow of the hill, after which Emily was always the faster, winning tw- c- thirds of a good course. Golden Shower and Gem from the Opera ran an undecided, which many thought the latter had won. Next time Gem led about three lengths, wrenched her hare several times in some turnips, and turned on to a green road ; Golden Shower then got in, and was fast rubhing off the score against her when Gem again took the hare from her and wrenched twice; Golden Shower then shot up inside and killed. The decision caused many complaints. Money Spinner cleverly defeated Cerintha. A fine race up fol- lowed between Fantail and Savourneen, which was ultimately gained by Faintail, who proved herself to be faster and quite as clever as her opponent. Henrietta beat Lecture, much of the course being run out of my sight. Matilda led Euryanthe, turned, and wrenched twice; Euryanthe then got to work, wiped off the score, turned, and Matilda killeda very near thing. Simper was much faster than, and well beat, Civil Sally. Hippelaph was much the faster, and won the early points, until Luna got to work and just outcounted the former when the hare was killed. Regadoon cleverly put out Civil Sal. Mona was very speedy, and handsomely beat Sappho from the start to the finish. Bathilde was several lengths faster than Coro- nella, but the former tripping at the green road let Coronella up, who, when in, won very decisively, killing meritoriously. Enigma won almost every point in a moderate course, being much too fast for Patch. Wood Nymph and Circassian: The latter led about a length, gained first turn, and two following points; Wood Nymph then set to work, wiped off the Circassian's score, and, staying the longest, won very easily.— The Craven Cup: Asterope and Pride of Kent ran wide up to the hare, which As- terope gained first, and afterwards possessed too much ability for Pride of Kent, who ran wide at her turns. Hellvellyn won the early points of a good ceurse, but Wellington staying the longer, and working closer, won with plenty to spare. Fiddle- stick led some lengths on the inside, turned, wrenched two or three times, and put the hare to Penelope, who made a cross kill; the decision was evidently a mistake. Phosphorus ran very resolutely and strong, being always in front of a fast run course until coming amongst the horses, when Patty got in and killed. Evening Star won all the early points from Afternoon, until near the cover side, when the latter got in, but too late to recover her lost position. Belle of the Village went off with a good lead, bringing the hare back from some turnips, when Sally Sykes got in front, and, in throwing at the hare for a kill, again let Belle in front, who afterwards wrenched to cover. Glenusk was too clever for Round Shot, who requires a little more pace. Fell- monger, on the outer circle, was faster than Colchicum, and, after a couple of wrenches, killed. Beggar Girl outpaced Cannonade, and afterwards won a moderate course with but little to spare, killing in some turnips. Sutler was faster than Lancer to the hare, which squatted, both dogs going past her; Lancer then got well placed, but in a good course which followed was com- pelled to succumb to the Brother of Sapphire. Lady of the Manor, throughout a good spin, never admitted Rifle once in front, giving him a hollow dressing. Sapphire led Doefoot on the inside six or seven lengths, and throughout a course of considerable length the latter had to run in the wake of the old favourite, who invariably distinguishes herself at Ashdown Park. Contented Meg admitted of no assistance from Gabriel, who was only in front at the foot of the hill, from where the hare ran straight away from both greyhounds. A bye, which fell to the lot of Lalla Rookh, closed the day's sport. It cannot be said that the running of to- day equalled that of yesterday, although the hares were again very numerous and the trials up to the average. The field was larger than that of the preceding day, but much annoyance was caused by the reckless riding of many horsemen over unbeaten ground, whereby a number of hares escaped uncoursed. It is much to be regretted that the liberality of the Earl of Craven in preserving such a numerous supply of hares, and countenancing the sport as he does should be s © much abused. In the evening the Uffington Stakes of twelve dogs, the Ashdown and Lambourne Stakes of eight dogs each for puppies, were made up and drawn for, and the fixture given out for the following day was Maddel Farm at ten a. m. THURSDAY.— VVe met half an hour earlier than appointed, at Maddle Farm, after a very wet and stormy night. Fortunately, by the time of placing the dogs in the slips the clouds began to break, and we had fine weather until" near the latter part of the day. The sport commenced with the second ties for the Derby, between Chieftain and Sackbut, with a good slip. Sackbut led two lengths and turned, when Chieftain got in and made the two following points. Sackbut then took the hare and put. in some close and clever work, and turned the hare, to Chieftain, who im- mediately killed. Loosefish led Dictator, and in the most reso- lute style stuck close to his game, and won very decisively. Turn of Luck and Lynch Law: The latter led and scored the three first turns, when Turn of Luck got to the front, but only momentarily, as Lynch Law drew direct past him ; when going down hill the blue got in front, a position he kept until near the plantation, strongly wrenching his game, but never fairly brought the hare round. Brother Sam took the lead from slips, but Gelert reached the hare first. Immediately after the first turn Brother Sam took possession, and kept it to the down, when Gelert got in and worked the hare to the top, where, with a strong lead, he fell heavily, Brother Sam going on some lengths in advance out ofsightfora short time. When they returned Brother Sam was still leading. Near the bottom of the field from whence they started Gelert gave a fine go- by, wricked his hare several times, and ultimately bringing her well round, Brother 8am killed. Lottery led Geoffrey Gambado from slips, but about half way up Geoffrey went by and fetched his hare, turning twice; when at the bottom of the stubble Lottery took command, and kept strongly wrenching his hare to near the cover side, where Geoffrey drew past, and won with but a trifle to spare.— The Oaks ( second ties) : Emily and Golden Shower had an undecided, which was decidedly won by Emily. In their next trial Emily won very decisively, but had such a towelling spin that it quite destroyed her chance of going further in the stake. Money Spinner and Fantail also had an undecided, which was unquestionably won by Fantail; in the final attempt Fantail won easily. Henrietta and Matilda: The latter led and wrenched twice, when Henrietta got in at the of some turnips, but was unable to hold her position, and Matilda, again taking the hare, won well. Simper led and turned twice, when she let Luna . in, who wrenched twice and fell. Simper then went in and turned on the side of the hill, where she overshot herself, again letting in Luna, who well worked her game across the flat to Leighton Bushes, where Simper went past, wrenched, and killed. Mona led Regadoon, but the hare coming round in favour of the latter, she scored seven or eight points in succession, and although losing a few points in the middle of the course, she came again at the finish and won handsomely. Enigma led Coronella three lengths, and strongly wrenched her game twice, when she tripped, letting in Coronella, who afterwards won cleverly— Enigma, although the faster, ran wide of her game. Woodnymph ran a bye.— The Cra- cup Cup ( first ties): Penelope led from slips, but Asterope drew past, got well on to the line of her game, which she closely worked, putting in Penelope, whom she went clear by, and killed. Wennington well beat Phosphorus, who did not display the form of yesterday. Belle of the Village was much faster than Evening Star, who ran very game, but was deficient in pace. When in the straight running Belle went clear by and made a clever kill, three lengths in advance Fellmonger took a considerable lead from Glenusk, well working his hare to the edge of the down, when he brought Pussy well round; Glenusk then got in, but was quickly displaced by Fell- monger, who wrenched three or four times downhill and killed. Sutler led Civil Beggar Girl four lengths, and picked up his hare cleverly. Lady of the Manor and Sapphire: In the race up Sap- phire cannoned against the Lady and knocked her over; Sap- phire then got a strong lead, and was afterwards always fastest; however, Lady of the Manor ran a good second. Contented Meg led Lalla Rookh four lengths from near Cable's Farm barn to the top of the down, where she killed, and won very hollowly. The match was one of the best courses of the day. In a good slip Streamer led three lengths, turned, and served himself, leading up the down from Cable's Farm; when half way up the hill Re- tribution gave a clear go- by, and kept command of the hare for some distance along the ridge of the down; at the bend Streamer returned the go- by, when they went out of my sight, but I believe Retribution came again second- winded, and won well.— The Derby ( third ties): Loosefish led Sackbut, and scored several strong wrenches. When going across the bottom of Kingston Warren Sackbut got in for six or seven points, but when Loosefish began to rise the hill for the clump she knocked her hare about in a clever manner, and ultimately pulled her down in straight running. When taken up it was found she had broken a toe. and will not be able to appear again for some time in public. This is Mr W. Long's usual ill luck. To a rattling hare, beaten from Four- acre Plantation, Kingston Warren, Turn of Luck and Gelert were slipped, but the long course Gelert had had in the morning gave an easy victory to the Herefordshire dog. Geoffrey Gambado ran ashort bye.— The Oaks ( third t ies)— Emily and Fantail: The latter, fastest, gained first, second, and third turns, when Emily got in with a good lead ; Fantaii gradually drew up, gave a go- by, and afterwards kept in front throughout a fine trial of some length. It was evident the severe course which Emily had had in the morning with the undecided course told much against her. Matilda very cleverly beat Luna, and Rega- doon ran an undecided with Woodnymph ; in their final spin Woodnymph won all the first and latter part of a pretty course. Belle of the Village ran round Asterope, put her in, went clear by, andkilled; her kennel companion, Wennington was cleverly defeated by 8utler. Sapphire and Fellmonger were slipped to a hare on a hill side, Fellmonger immediately getting unsighted ; Sapphire going on single- handed had a heart- breaking course, in which she had two severe falls, and when taken up was found to be much exhausted, and was consequently drawn by her noble owner. Fellmonger ran a bye to place himself upon an equality with his future opponents. In the Uffington Stakes Glimpse and Glory, Bucephalus and Fiddlestick, arid in the Ashdown Stakes Art and Langravine distinguished themselves. In order to catch the post I did not stay to witness the running in the Lambourne Stakes of eight dogs. The rain now began to descend rather heavily, but on the whole we had a favourable day. In the evening a four- dog stake was made up, to fill up the card for the following day's sport, which will bring the meeting to a termination. The meet for Friday is Park- end, at ten a. m. FRIDAY.— We met at Lambourne end of the wood; the morning betokened rain, but fortunately none fell. Precisely to time, ten a. m., the first brace of dogs were put in slips for the Uffington Stakes ( first ties): Glimpse at Glory and Bucephalus immediately slipped; two hares were on foot, Glimpse at Glory taking one and Bucephalus the other, both having similar courses. The severe pumping Glimpse at Glory had in her course with Crazy Jane the night] before appeared to have had no ill effect upon her, for when again slipped she went away from Bucephalus, and won a short course very handsomely. Fiddlestick and Little Lina : Lina led from slips, and throughout a sharp run course was a shade the faster, however Fiddlestick ran her very close, and turned beautifully. Charles the Second and Ladylike ran an undecided, which the King appeared to have much the best of; in their next slip it was a finely contested course, Ladylike getting the upper ground at the finish, gained the fiat.— Second ties: Little Lina was several lengths faster than Glimpse at Glory, taking the first and second turn, when Glimpse at Glory warmed up, went resolutely to work, wiped off Little Lina's score, and won well. Ladylike ran a bye, which she made short work of by " killing,— The Derby ( fourth ties) : Loosefish being drawn from having broken a toe yesterday, the deciding course for the Derby was run off between Geoffrey Gambado and Turn of Luck. They were slipped amongst feggy grass on the slope of Compton Bottom, where Geoffrey Gambado became unsighted in the run up, but immediately getting on to the down, Geoffrey raced past, gained first turn, and, after a succes- sion of clever working points, was proclaimed the winner of the Derby, beating the brother to Skedadler very cleverly.— The Oaks ( fourth ties): Fantail and Matilda: The former led, and in a short course was much the faster, Matilda killing from Fantail's turn. Coronella and Wood Nymph: The latter led from slips, and bore the hare round to Coronella, who kept possession down to the stones, against one of which Coronella came in con- tact, and fell; Wood Nymph then won all the remainder of the course, the hare beating both into Thiekthorn Copse. The Craven Cup ( third ties): Belle of the Village and Fell- monger : Belle was faster than Fellmonger, and also getting the inside when the hare came round the foot of the hill, won very cleverly, Fellmonger evidently having learnt too much to be trusted in a large stake. Sutler led Contented Meg about two lengths, turned, and let in the latter ; when in straight running Sutler gave a racing go by, and brought the hareagain to Meg, who wrench- ed two or three times, bringing the hare round, Sutler killed.— The Craven Cup ( deciding course): Belle of the Village and Sutler were slipped to a hare beaten from Leighton Bushes ; the old lady ran like a puppy, leading to the have three lengths, scoring the first four turns, when she again wrenched to Sutler, who instantly killed. Fantail was declared the win- ner of the Oaks. Wood Nymph having injured herself in her last course, was drawn lame.— The Ashdown Stakes was won by Mr Grainger's Golden Heart, beating Mr Lloyd's Landgravine, Mr Allison's Art, and Mr Procter's Park End.— The Lambourne Stakes was won by Mr Allison's Artful, who worked beautifully close in the deciding course with Lord Grey de Wilton's Golden Rain, from Ashby Fields to the top of the down, when she tripped and let in Golden Rain, who was again quickly displaced, and Artful won in the roost hollow style.— The Weyland Stakes was won, after an undecided course, by Colonel Bathurst's Bathilde, beatingGymnast and Magdaline, which closed the first of the Ashdown meetings, and opened the season in the south. The winner of the Derby, Geoffrey Gambado, is a flne dog of about 611b weight, by Effort out of Mr Bowles's Bessie of the Vale ( a great public winner) ; he is not yet 19 months old, but is cer- tainly a fast and game dog; he and his brother Gelert would certainly have ran first and second ( with Loosefish out) had it not been for the terrific trial Gelert had with Brother Sam the morning when he had to meet Turn of Luck, who ran second. The latter is by Canaradzo out of Mr Hey wood's Redwing; he is own brother to Skedaddler, winner of the Biggar Stakes at the late Scottish Champion meeting; he is a good- looking dog, and when in condition will be a dangerous opponent to contend with. Fantail, the winner of the Oaks, is also by Effort out of Just Decision ; she is a fast, clever, and resolute bitch, and never throws a chance away when with her game. Her owner, Mr Faulkner of Oxford, has used much judgment and paid particular attention to his small kennel during the last three years. In 1861, at the Ashdown Autumn Meeting, he won the Derby ( for which 37 greyhounds started) with Francatelli, by Sandy out of Jenny Caxon. In 1862 he won the Craven Cup with Fairwater, by Sandy out of Just Decision, and at the present meeting he won the Oaks of 60 subscribers with Fantail, another daughter of Just Decision, by Effort. Thus, in three years, he carried off the three great " events, viz, the Derby, the Craven Cup, and the Oaks. The Craven Cup, at the late meeting, was carried off by Mr Bland's old favourite, Belle of the Vil- lage ; a better greyhound never was slipped, although now of the age when a greyhound's honesty cannot be trusted, yet she ran with her first season vigour. During her running career, which includes four seasons, she has had four litters of whelps, the first by Jeffrey ( all dead), the second by Bubble and Squeak, and the third by Seacombe. I believe she will again come before the public at the Amesbury Meeting, but I think that will be asking her to do too much. Butler, who ran up to her, also ran up for the same prize last year, when Fairwater won; he is by Skyrocket out of Seacole, and own brother to Lord Sefton's Sapphire. He possesses great pace, but his fault is in turning, occasionally going very wide; moreover, he slightly hung in slips. Glimpse at Glory, who divided the Uffington Stakes, is slow, but is very game, and a close, clever worker. Bathilde and Artful are two clever greyhounds, and I shall expect to see them the winners of a greater stake during the season. ASHDOWN. MARKET WEIGHTON MEETING- OCT 7 & 8.

UPTON v SHALSTONE. OCT 1.— A pleasant ridge and furrow match took place at Shal" stone: great attention having been paid to the ground, there wasn't a thistle or nettle to be seen within two lands of the wickets, and several early birds had picked up the worms and mushrooms. Shalstone had hired a great gun from the I Z. foundry, but the report of it was not equal to its calibre. The finish was very exciting. The Uptosnuffs calculated on a victory, but somewhat to their chagrin Tony Lumpkins, aided by Don Whiskerandos, levelled their stumps for 22 runs short of their desired number. The ground was well attended, the harvest home celebrations taking place at the same time, a neighbouring village having kindly lent a band of brothers, who discoursed all the popular airs on various kinds of instruments; kiss in the ring, and other innocent amusements followed, the whole concluding with a country dance, and when our reporter left everybody was still going up the middle and down again.

( Per the Arabia, via Boston and Roche's Point, Oct 10, 6: 25 a. m.) NEW YORK, SEPT 29. Despatches from General Rosecrans, to the afternoon of the 27th inst, state that no attack had been made on him by the Confede- rates since the 21st, Quartermaster- General Meigs visited General Rosecrans on Saturday last, and examined his position and means of defence, and reports to Washington that Rosecrans can only be dislodged by a regular siege, which General Bragg gives no indication of at- tempting. The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Times, under date the 23d inst, asserts that the blame for the defeat of General Rosecrans rests, first, on General Burnside, for not co- operating with and reinforcing General Rosecrans, as he was ordered to do by General Halleck ; and, secondly, on President Lincoln, who by sending 40,000 troops from the Army of the Potomac, to en- force the conscription in New York, enabled General Lee to detach Longstreet's corps from the army of Northern Virginia, to assist General Bragg against General Rosecrans. General Burnside's head- quarters were still at Knoxville, Ten. nessee, on the 24th inst. It is stated that he is under the dis. pleasure of the War Department for not effecting a junction with General Rosecrans before the battles of Chicamauga, and that h will be superseded in the command of the army of the Ohio in consequence. General Hooker is named as his successor. Letters from the army of the Potomac of the 28th inst, state that the Confederates are in strong force, ana in a well- fortified position, which they are daily strengthening, on the south bank of the Rapidan, their lines extending from Germania to Burnet's- fords. The report of an advance of the Federals beyond the river and upon Gordonsville is now pronounced to have been untrue. The steamer Arago, from Charleston on the 26th, brings no news of importance from either the army or navy. Mr J. B. Eades, Government contractor, entertained the officers of the Russian war vessels now in the harbour of New York at a dinner last evening. General Hiram Wallbridge, who was present, said that the object of the Czar in sending a fleet to New York was to have it in a position where, at a given signal, it could sweep the commerce of England and France from the seas. General Wallbridge is a corn merchant and a militia general; he is a person of no authority, and only known to the community from having made himself conspicuous in getting up union and contractors' leagues. New York Bay never at any time contained so many vessels of war from foreign countries as at present. In addition to the Rus- sian fleet of seven vessels, there are four French war ships and three British. Admiral Milne, on b.- iard the Nile, arrived yester- day with two gunboats. A larger accession both of British and French vessels is expected. The Court of Appeals at Albany has decided in favour of the constitutional and of the legal tender notes issued by the Go- vernment. The inhabitants of the counties of Missouri bordering upon Kansas have, in retaliation for the massacre under Quantrell, been notified to leave their homes with 15 days. Much of their pro- perty has, from the shortness of the notice, been unavoidably left behind, and has fallen a prey to the thieves and ruffians of Mis. souri and Kansas. The rightful owners are wandering about in strange localities in quest of food and shelter. A delegation of Missourians is in Washington, to petition the removal of General Schofield, the commander of the department, and of Governor Gamble, who are considered by the people of Missouri to be ae countable for the revival of the guerilla warfare in that State and Kansas. Mr Lincoln will receive the delegation to- morrow. The blockade- runner Juno was captured by the Federal steamer Connecticut on the 22d inst, while attempting to escape from Wilmington with a cargo of cotton. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Exchange, 157f.

Official despatches from General RoseCrans of the 29th ult re- port his situation as unchanged. The War Department has ordered a Court of Inquiry to investi. gate the conduct of Generals M'Cook and Crittenden in the battles of Chicamauga. The corps they commanded have been consoli- dated, and placed under General Granger. General Bragg, under date of the 24th ult, announces that hi captures in the late battles are 7,000 prisoners, 25 stands of colours 36 cannon, and 15,000 small arms. He also reports that the ac. counts of General Hood are favourable. There is still no news from the army of the Potomac. On the 24th ult General Lee issued a congratulatory order to his troops, announcing the victory of General Bragg at Chica" mauga. The latest news from Charleston represents General Gilmore as till engaged in engineering work at Forts Gregg and Wagner. Doubts of his ability to maintain his troops in health on Morris Island are freely expressed. He suffers from want of water and fuel, and both men and horses are dying of disease brought on by the quantity of sand which mingles with their food and drink. On the24th ult salutes were fired by all the Confederate batte- ries in the city, and by Forts Moultrie and Sumter, in celebration of Bragg's victory over Rosecrans. Fort Sumter fired 13 guns. Letters from New Orleans of the 22d ult state that the men and material for a new expedition to Texas, to be commanded by General Weitzel, had been for some time concentrating at Bra- shear, Louisiana, and that on the 10th the expedition commenced crossing Berwick's Bay on its advance into the Lafourche district. It is reported from St Louis, under date of the 30th ult, that a plot to drown all Government transports on the western rivers had been discovered. Several men had been arrested and placed in irons. The Richmond Whig of the 29th ult denounces the British Go vernment for detaining the Confederate rams in the Mersey. A number of the officers of the Russian ships- sf- war, escorted by Generals Dix and Canby, visited the harbour fortifications yes- terday. To- day they have a formal reception at the City Hall by the Mayor and Common Council. There is a grand parade of the military, and a continual firing of salutes in honour of the occa- sion. The officers of the British and French ships in the port hav not been invited to participate in the hospitalities. The Ratification meeting of the Republicans' State nominations took place at the Cooper Institute last evening. Both the resolu- tions and speeches, in the latter of which Vice- President Hamlin, and Mr Cochran ( the nominee for Attorney- General) took part endorsed the Emancipation Proclamation, the Confiscation and Conscription Acts, and the suspension of the Habeas Corpus They denounced Governor Seymour and the Democratic party and clamoured for a vigorous prosecution of the war. Mr Seward and General Dix were advertised to speak, but neither of them were present. The Missouri Delegation was received by the President yester- day. They presented him with an address, which petitioned for the immediate abolition of slavery in Missouri, the removal of General Schofield and Governor Gamble, the resumption of martial law, and the appointment of General Butler as Military Governor and Commander of the department of the West Mr Lincoln promised to consider the points urged, and to give his answer in writing.

THE TURKISH BUDGET- CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT 9.— The Budget has passed the Grand Council, and will be published next week. The Levant Herald announces that there is a surplus of £ 188,794. The secularization of the Vacoufs is again under serious consideration by the Council, and will very probably be carried. The Porte has offered to buy the steam rams which are being built in the Mersey, and Earl Russell is said to be favourable to this solution of the difficulty. The Porte has addressed a note to the Viceroy of Egypt, reite- rating the arguments in Ali Pasha's note relative to the Suez Canal FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY. OCT 6. BANKRUPTCY ANNULLED.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS, An important change has taken place during the past week in the position of monetary affairs, chiefly in consequence of an advance in the official value of money in Paris from 4 to 5 per cent, and in Frankfort from 3 to 3| per cent. These measures by the respective banks have naturally induced a feeling of greater caution on this side, whereas slight indications of increasing easi- ness were previously perceptible, and it was generally thought that after the payment of the October dividends on the New Threes, & c, there would be a decided modification in the general terms, if not on the part of the executive of the Bank of England. Even now, however, it is not improbable that some small con- cession may be adopted, but no decided opinion can be formed at present with regard to the future course of monetary affairs. Trade progresses steadily, and the reports from most departments appear to j ustify the idea already formed that the results of the year will bear favourable comparison with former periods of commercial pros- perity. At the Stock Exchange there has been a species of panic so far as regards the foreign department, where a sharp reaction has occurred in the speculative stocks, previously much inflated. Mexican have suffered most, but the fall has extended to Greek, Spanish, and several other descriptions. Nor have the Funds escaped the general depression, the latest prices yesterday ( Fri- day) afternoon being 93 5 for money, and ® 3| f for the account. During the past week the operations in the Foreign Stock Mar- ket have continued moderately active, and considerable variation has taken place in prices. The chief fluctuation, however, has been in Mexican Stock and Greek Bonds. The advices from the Paris Bourse having caused considerable depression, Mexican stock has receded about 4 per cent, Greek bonds 3} per cent, and the Coupons 2j; Turkish Consolides have receded If, while the Confederate Cotton Loan has improved 1 per cent. SATURDAY. The Funds have showed rather less firmness, Consols closing at 93 for money, and 93| for the account. In the Foreign Market Mexican Stock is quoted 41ft to 42^ Greek Bonds 33f to 34f, and Turkish Consolides 53 to 53! — being rather flatter. Railway shares generally are dull at about previous quotations. It. llolfe, dec. 95th: Staff Assist- Surg J. Watt, M. D., to be surg, v J. S. Allanby. M. D., dec. 100th: Lieut H. W.
