The CAMBRIDGESHIRE is a certainty. Rollin's terms are to the end of the season 5s; no less will be taken. Richard ltollin, 4, Exeter- street, Strand, Loudon. Stamps taken. TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Every one rejoices heartily to see the Queen again appear in public. Her long retirement had been in every way a matter to be regretted. The occasion of her first return to public life is propitious. She came to do added honour to him whom she had deeply loved, and though the remembrances which the matter called forth were not without pain, the purpose of the meeting must have afforded her some kindly consolation. Let us hope that, strengthened and sustained by religious resignation, and by the love of her people, she may be enabled again to take the share her position requires in those public proceedings where her absence has been so painfully felt, and where her return will be the cause of such sincere satisfaction. LORD LYNDHURST. One of the most distinguished men of the age has departed from amongst us. True that he never possessed that marvellous ver- sality and comprehensiveness of knowledge which distinguished his rival and friend, who still happily survives, but he was one whose clearness of intellect and power of expression made con- verts from other opinions or confirmed their previous beliefs in a manner which nothing could afterwards shake. Lord Lyndhurst was eminently a man who addressed the intellect not the passions of his hearers, and the trust in the accuracy of his judgment was very great. John Singleton Copley was born in Boston, America, while the colonies were yet attached to tae mother country. It is said that his grandfather, one Richard Clarke, was owner of that very cargo of tea which the citizens of Boston threw into the sea rather than allow it to be subjected to the duty which the Parliament of England, without the colonial assent, had declared it liable to pay. Certain it is that soon afterwards Mr. Copley came to England, and settled here. He was an artist of good but not of first- rate powers; his best known works are those of " The Tribute Mo- ney,'' exhibited at the Manchester Exhibition of 1857, and " The Death of Chatham.'' Young Copley was sent to Cambridge, and distinguished himself highly, though he did not take the first place in University honours. For years his career at the bar was not very encouraging, but at last the opportunity offered itself, and he proved that any past neglect of him had not been in any way justified by his incapacity. The real turning point of his for- tune was the trial of Watson and Thistlewood for high treason. After that the necessity for employing him was recognised by the Government, and that sort of employment leads to honours. He brought to his Government connection a well- stored mind and a thoroughly matured judgment. He was past forty when he first obtained Government patronage, and he was then ripe in expe- rience. His after career was rapid and brilliant. For a time he was a necessity to the Tories, and his manners rendered delightful what his talents had made inevitable. His party was glad to be bound to him. His capacity for acquiring knowledge, for rapidly maturing it, and then reproducing it as if it had long been intimately familiar to his mind, was wonderful. No one except Follett ever exceeded him in this power, but he possessed a surer judgment than Follett, and his success as Lord Chancellor arose from his wonderful capa- city not only to receive all knowledge imparted to him by others, but also to appreciate with critical exactness the relative values of the information thus furnished, and to apply it with almost un- erring accuracy to its purpose. He never distinguished himself as a statesman in the highest sense of that word. Wo doubt he could have done so had he pleased, but he did not. He was a great critic on any acts of Government, but he hardly troubled himself to do more than criticise thein. He had little fancy for originating them. His great mental faculties remained unimpaired to the last; his physical powers were too weak to enable him to give expres- sion to them. But those who had th - opportunity of conversing with him within the last few years, know that the old clearness of intellect, keenness of wit, and sharpness of criticism still flourished in their pristine force. In disposition he was kind and affectionate, and he had the temper as well as the manners of a true gentleman. One of our morning contemporaries, a Tory too, commits a funny blunder in giving the history of the illustrious Tory Chancellor. Referring to the end of his first chancellorship ( November, 1330), it says: " But at this time Lord Wynford died, and the Whigs being all for economy, thought it would be a grand stroke to save the retiring pension by offering Lord Lynd- hurst the vacant chief baronship." Lord Wynford never had been chief baron; he was Chief Justice of Common Pleas till 1829, when he resigned, was created a peer, and was succeeded in his office by Sir Nicholas Tindal, who remaine •! for many years the chief justice of that court. Lord Wynford lived for some years after his retirement from the bench. It was Sir W. Alex- ander to whom Lord Lyndhurst succeeded as chief baron, and his lordship held that office till the breaking up of the Whig adminis- tration, when he again became lord chancellor. LICENSE GRANTING. It is not a novel thing for " justice's justice'' to be a bye word of reproach. But we confess to having been weak enough to enter- tain a belief that of late years the enormity of its folly and wrong had happily diminished. It seems that, in entertaining this be. lief, we have allowed our wishes to betray our judgment, and that it is unwarranted by the fact, for that " justice's justice" continues still as rampantly absurd and unjust as ever. Nay more, if the reports of the proceedings before a body of these worshipful per- sons are to be trusted, the very forms of properly regulated tri- bunals are as much disregarded as the substance of justice is out- ed. Indeed, in many cases, and those we are about to refer to are of the number, form and substance are identical. It is a settled form of all the courts of law that notice of everything to be done shall be given by one party to the other, most certainly notice of everything of a hostile nature. This form is itself of the very substance of justice, for every man who is to be accused of anything is entitled to know that he is to be accused, and en- titled to know besides what is the subject of the accusation. Such is the principle of common sense and honest fairness, and such is the rule of the English courts where justice is administered. The licensing court of the Middlesex magistrates does not appear to care for deserving that character. The following statement of facts is taken from the Stanaard of Friday, Oct 9, and must be assumed to have been correctly made, since no contradiction of them that we are aware of has appeared, and if true shows that the sooner power is taken from such a tribunal the better will authority be respected. Mr Griffiths applied for a license for the Victoria Hall, Shoredftch. " A magistrate" objected, saying that the place was chiefly the resort of boys, and that scenes of great disorder prevailed. The applicant had had no notice of this objection, but on the instant called Inspector Webster of the N division, who said he had no complaint to make against the house or against the manner in which the business was con- ducted, " and indeed there was no complaint whatever against the applicant." If there had been the applicant ought to have had notice of it, that he might come prepared with an answer to it. But no such notice was given, the objection was raised at the moment the case was one on the unopposed list of applications, and yet at the last moment an opposition was made— and made by one who, being a judge in the case, and determining to exercise his power as a judge, was beyond all other men bound to proceed according to the strictest rules of fairness and propriety. These rules were utterly disregarded and the complaint was made with- out notice. Such as it was, it was met by the statement of a police inspector, and declared to be without foundation— and the report does not contain any allegation that the " magistrate" accused the police inspector of ignorance or of untruth. Mr Tubbs, one of the justices, sought to obtain for the superior courts of law that mark of respect which would be shown by following their rules, and appears to have urged that the case should be fully heard in the regular mariner on another day, and he actually roused his con- rage to the pitch of saying that if this was not done it would be " nothing less than oppression." This outburst of truth was very unpalatable to the chairman, who snubbed the too daring Mr Tubbs into withdrawing it. Mr Sleigh then appeared as counsel for the applicant and asked the bench to rehear the case, but " the chairman hoped as the case had been disposed of, that the bench would adhere to the decision." Admirable reasoner! His epinion properly expressed amounted to this:—" You have done an act of injustice— you have condemned a man who did not know that he was to be accused, and who, so far as he could meet an unexpected accusation, did meet it triumphantly— did meet it by the testimony of the very person whose especial duty it was to make and to support such an accusation if it had been true— and" What'?—" and therefore you ought to adhere to your condemna- tion." This may be the chairman's notion of justice ; it is not the notion tolerated by the law or acted on by- the courts of this coun- try. So far is it the reverse that, on a celebrated occasion Lord Denman, on the judgment seat, declared that even in the case of a contempt committed in the sight of a judge and in open court the judge ought not to pronounce judgment on the offender without hearing evidence and giving the offender the full opportunity to be heard in defence or extenuation. The Middlesex chairman appears to be entirely unburdened with those restrictions which Lord Denman deemed to be the fit accompaniments of judicial power, and so a decision, which, so far as the report goes, ap- pears to be totally unwarranted, is pronounced against a man who had not been prepared by due notice to have any accusation brought against him, and' is then to be affirmed because it has once been pronounced. In another instance an accusation was also made without pre- vious notice given, and though the course was properly con- demned by two magistrates, it was justified by the chairman, and the license was refused. We have nothing to do with the merits of either of these cases, but, even if we assume the accusations in both instances to be well founded ( though in the first the only evidence taken was directly the other way), still it is clear that the mode of proceeding adopted in this licensing court is one opposed to every principle of reason, fairness, and justice, and is condemned no less by the constant and undeviating practice of our courts of law, than by the sentiments and feelings of every honest and sensible Englishman. The Prince and Princess of Wales left Marlborough House on Thursday, and proceeded by the Great Eastern Bailway for Sandringham. THE AUEEDEEN MEMORIAL TO PRINCE ALBERT,— On Tues- day afternoon Her Majesty went to Aberdeen, to be present at the inauguration of the memorial statue to the late Prince Con- sort. The day was very wet, but the people, at the suggestion of the magistrates, marked the occasion by keeping holiday, and early in the forenoon the whole line of the streets and houses from the railway station to the site of the statue was crowded with spectators. The Queen left Balmoral at ten o'clock, and reached Aberdeen shortly after one, accompanied by Princess Helena, Princess Louisa, the Crown Prince of Prussia, Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse, the Crown Princess of Prussia, and Princes Arthur and Leopold. Prince Alfred came from Edinburgh by the morn- ing train, and joined the royal party. Her Majesty was received by the Lord Provost, magistrates, members of the Town Council, & c. The royal party drove to the Northern Club House, in the im- mediate vicinity of which the statue stands. On entering the prin- cipal room of the club house, the Lord Provost presented the Queen with a respectful address from the subscribers of the statue, and in the name of the city and county generally. To this address Her Majesty made the following reply:—" Your loyal and affec tionate address has deeply touched me, and I thank you for it from my heart. It is with feelings I should vainly seek words to express that I determined to attend here to- day to " witness the un- covering of the statue which will record to future times the love and respect of the people of this county and city for my great and beloved husband. But I could not reconcile it to myself to re- main at Balmoral while such a tribute was being paid to his memory, without making an exertion to assure you personally of the deep and heartfelt sense I entertain of your kindness and affection, and at the same time to proclaim in public the un bounded reverence and admiration, the devoted love, that fill my heart for him whose loss must throw a lasting gloom over all my future life. Never can I forget the circumstances to which you so feelingly allude— that it was in this city he delivered his remark- able address to the British Association, only four years ago: and that in this country we had been for so many years in the habit of spending some of the happiest days of our lives." The Provost then, by desire of the Queen, knelt down, when Her Majesty was graciously pleased to confer upon him the honour of knighthood. The royal party, in a few minutes afterwards, stepped out upon the platform within twenty yards of the statue, and the statue was at two o'clock uncovered. ' The figure represents the Prince seated, with the robe of the Thistle over a field marshal's uni- form. It is the work of Baron Marochetti, and is of bronze. Her Majesty and the royal clildren looked on the figure with a fond and eager gaze which touched all who were present. In about five minutes after the unveiling Her Majesty bowed to the vast assembly, and, with the royal family, re- entered the club house. Having partaken of lunch, the royal corUrje and procession drove back to the railway station in the order in which it started. At eight minutes past three Her Majesty left for Balmoral. With a feeling of sympathy which it was thought would, under the cir- cumstances, be acceptable to the Queen, the crowd along the whole line kept a respectful silence throughout; and with the ex- ception of uncovering as Her Majesty's carriage drove past, and while she remained looking at the statue, there was no demon- stration of any kind whatever. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. Marshal d'Ornano is dead. All the Paris journals express re- gret at the loss sustained by the death of M Billault, which occurred in the early part of the week at Paris. No one knows what will be done in the Polish business. The Siecle abuses England. The Revue des Deux Mondes sees much reason in its abstinence from actively joining the Emperor of the French in his policy as to Poland. AUSTRIA. Austria will borrow this year 100,000,000 florins, namely, 33,539,846 to cover the deficit of the budget; 0,000,000 in aid of Hungary, now suffering from famine; 12,000,000 to withdraw from circulation the ten- kreutzer notes, which are not comprised in the 52,000,000 of redeemable bank notes; and the remainder for the diminution of the floating debt of 100,000,000, for which amount the salt mines have been mortgaged. Along the line of the Austrian frontier of Galicia Russian troops are to be stationed. GREECE. The Pays announces that fresh disorders have occurred in the Greek provinces. A great display of force was necessary at Nauplia in order to prevent a sanguinary collision. The Ionian Parliament has formally accepted the cession of the islands to Greece. The Lord High Commissioner has made a speech to the Parliament, talking of what the Ionian Parliament must under- take, and his speech looks very like that of a man trying to tack conditions to an agreement after the agreement has been fully drawn up and signed. POLAND. A workman named William Alger, belonging to Messrs Evans and Co's iron foundry, was arrested at nine p. m. on the 1st Sep- tember, in one of the streets of the second circle, for having been unprovided with a lantern. On being searched at the police- sta- tion he was found to be in possession of 8- inch iron grenades. Experienced persons have decided that those grenades are deadly instruments, which may be made to act by means of fulminating or ordinary powder. The prisoner Alger was formerly known to the police authorities, has on several occasions been accused of political crimes, and was placed under the surveillance of the police. Last year he was imprisoned for having distributed sedi- tious placards, and in April of this year he was arrested and punished for persuading young men to join insurgent bands. He was again arrested this year for non- observance of the regulations prescribed in consequence of the state of siege. When on his trial and before the Court of Inquiry Alger confessed that he had made those grenades for a man, unknown to him, who met him in the street, and gave him an order for sixty. He prepared the grenades in Messrs Evans's factory, and it was agreed that whenever a few were finished they should be delivered to the unknown person, who would wait for them at a certain place. Thereupon Alger, regardless of the order, refused to name the man who had ordered the grenades. The court- martial found Alger guilty of the secret preparation of grenades, being fully aware of the criminal pur- pose for which they were intended, and sentenced him to loss of all civil rights, and to be shot. The proprietors of the factory have been sentenced to pay a fine of 15,000 roubles for having, not- withstanding the regulations prescribed by the state of siege, allowed the manufacture of murderous missiles. The factory was ordered to be closed until payment of the above fine. The British consul protested against this sentence as utterly unwarranted, so far as Messrs Evans were concerned, and it has since been remitted as to them. Alger was shot, and died very firmly. MM Massaliki, Selwicz, Joiz, and Wroblewski, all Polish nobles, and Wroblewski's wife, have been shot, the latter on suspicion of being a spy in the interest of the insurgents. Advices received from Warsaw state that the National Government has brought the insurgent chief, 8okolowski, beforea court- martial. The prisoner was found guilty of abuse of authority, and sentenced to be shot. News received from Warsaw states that in consequence of informa- tion received by the police a search was made at the Grabowski Palace, in the Meth Strasse. It is said that arms, cartridges, and uniforms were feund on the premises. The proprietor and male inmates were arrested, and the palace has been surrounded by military. It is alleged that the whole affair of the Grabowski Palace was a scheme of the Russian Governor, who wanted a pre- text to get possession of it, as he thought it a good post for military purposes. THE CRIMEA. THE RUSSIAN FORCES IN THE CRIMEA.— An Od- « sa letter gives the following :—" Besides the new fortifications atKertch, Sebas- topol, and Eupatoria, a force of 30,000 men will be withdrawn from the Caucasus to be placed in those stations, and will be re- placed by fresh soldiers from the interior. Vessels have already been despatched for these troops. The Czar will personally in- spect all these points, and the Grand Duke Constantine will shortly take the command, naval and military, of the whole of the Crimean forces." TURKEY. The Budget has passed the Grand Council. The Levant Herald announces that there is a surplus of £ 188,794 The secularisation of the Vacoufs is again under serious consideration by the Council. 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, reiterating the orders in Ali Pasha's note relative to the Suez Canal. AMERICA. The Russians visited the forts in New York harbour. At a banquet on board the steamer Admiral Poulding made a speech, in w hich he expressed a hope that whenever it became necessary for America to fight foreign enemies Russia would be found shoulder to shoulder with Americans, and he rejoiced in the be- lief that the Russian navy would sweep the seas of the British. All the newspapers are supposing what Lee and Bragg or Meade and Kosecrans will or can do, but there is no actual intelligence of anything being done. The siege of Charleston ( more than once reported to be captured) continues. There was no change in the position of tbe armies on the Rapidan, and no sensible progress was apparent in the Federal operations against Charleston. The Russian naval officers were still in high favour, and had been in- vited to visit Baltimore Important news comes from Belize, to the effect that the President of Guatemala, aided by Nicaraguans, had invaded and captured Coinayague and Tegucigalpa, in Hon- duras, committing attrocities and banishing the British Consul from Spanish Honduras, and that the British Consul at Iruxillo had sent for assistance. JAPAN- From Japan, the latest news is to the effect that half of the British fleet had sailed for Kagosima, which is in Kiusiu, the most southern of the four islands which constitute the Japanese empire. It is at Kagosima, near Cape Chikakoff, that Prince Satsuma has a castle, and this it is proposed to attack. The expe- dition sent against it consists of seven vessels, while other seven remain in harbour at Yokohama. The rumours as to peremptory orders being issued from Miako to exclude foreigners from the country still continue, and changes have been made in the govern- ment at Yedo, by which the party least hostile to foreigners retires from office. The Tycoon has returned to Yedo by sea, and the changes referred to have been made in accord- ance with instructions he brought with him from Miako. Another difficulty has arisen of a similar nature to the " Moss" case. A pic- nic party had gone to the Kanasawa, and while there a Japane » e soldier, evidently disapproving of them, drew his sword, upon which one of the party drew a revolver, and shot him through the arm. The " native authorities have made the matter subject of complaint, end the excursionists have been bound over to keep tbe peace, and appear when called upon. Since the last mail Her Majesty's ship Coquette has paid a visit to the batteries at Shimonosaki, where she lay within range un- molested for five hours. A party then went on shore and were civilly treated, from which it may be inferred that either the British flag is treated with special respect, or that the recent de- monstrations by the French and United States vessels of war have thoroughly intimidated those in charge of the forts. Some time after the first affair at Shimonosaki, a member of the Second Council of State called upon Colonel Neale. On being asked whether he had any communication to make, lie replied in the negative. Colonel Neale then told him that, if he had no com- munication to make, he at least had one to receive, which was to the effect that if the Japanese made such a bad use of the steamers we had sold tkem as to fire on merchant vessels, we should have to take them all back. It is feared " that this statement will check the demand for English steamers which has lately been springing up in Japan." At Nagasaki, the governor lately told the officers of H. M. S. Leopard that his orders were peremptory to expel foreigners. He was informed that he might try to do so. WAR IN NEW ZEALAND. By the latest accounts from New Zealand we learn with regret that war has again broken out, and that upwards of 7,000 cannibals are fully armed, and have attempted, fortunately without success, to obtain possession of Auckland. It was in the middle of July that the events took place, the account of which has just reached us. For some time Rewi, a chief who has long been the leader of the malcontents, and who is suspected of having instigated some foul murders, had been endeavouring to rouse the Maories in the neighbourhood of Auckland to rebellion. His object was to make a general rising of the Northern tribes, particularly the Waikatoes, a warlike race, whose country is close to Auckland, and then by a sudden movement to exterminate the settlers. The first act which he contemplated was the murder of some white men on the Waikato river. However, the plot was discovered, the troops were withdrawn from the Taranaki district, where they had been watch- ing some illdisposed natives, and preparations were made for anticipating the outbreak by a movement against the Waikatoes. While this was taking place the natives began the struggle by murdering two settlers at a place called Drury, about twenty miles from Auckland. This was on the loth of July. Two days after an escort was attacked within a short distance of the same place. Captain Ring, with 50 men of the 18th Regiment, was escorting some waggons, when he was fired upon on both flanks and in the rear by a large body of Maories, who then rushed upon the little detachment and endeavoured to cut off a portion of it. The soldiers fought with the utmost braver}', driving the natives back into the bush. Finally, the escort made good its retreat to a neighbouring house, where it remained until reinforced; but the loss was no less than four killed and ten wounded. After this it need not be said that both Government and the people were at the last advices preparing for war on a large scale. The first military movement was made by Gen Cameron, who, with 500 men, ad- vanced against the natives, who, to the number of several hundreds, fought with considerable skill, making a stand at every favourable point, and defending with the greatest obstinacy certain positions which they had fortified with lines of rifle pits. These people belonged to the Waikato tribe, which, from its proximity to Auckland, seems to have become proficient in the arts of warfare, if in no other kind of civilization. The natives, however, were defeated with considerable loss. This was the only military event which had taken place up to the departure of the mail, but the preparations for a determined struggle were in progress. We are happy to find there is no doubt of the spirit of the colonists. They have sprung to arms with an alacrity equal to that which the mother country would exhibit if threatened with foreign in- vasion. The volunteers and inilitia of the province of Auckland amounted already to 4,000 men, fully armed. There is a perma- nent colonial corps of cavalry, which will be actively employed. Drill was going on everywhere; the first- class militiamen and volunteers had been sent on to the front, while the care of the city had been left to the second levy. The protection of Auckland, which it has been part of the plan of the natives to surprise, is committed to the citizens, and the arrangements are said to be excellent. In the meantime the Australians are energetic in support of the sister colony. Ex- cept six drill instructors, every British soldier on that vast terri- tory has been sent off to New Zealand, and the local duties will be performed by volunteers. Besides this, the Australians have supplied the New Zealand settlers with arms and stores, and a considerable number of volunteers are likely to follow. On the whole, the temper of the people is such that we can have no fear of the result. Roused by the treachery of the natives, they are now determined to carry on a war which shall settle the question of English or native supremacy for ever. Further advices are anxiously expected. THE CONFEDERATE RAMS AT BIRKENHEAD.— The two rams still continue at Birkenhead— one, the EL Tousson, being moored in the Great Float, and, although there are two Customs officials on board, the workmen still continue their labours in fitting up the monster cupola shield on the deck of the vessel. A statement to the effect that a guard of marines from the Liverpool, man- of- war, were sent on board the El Tousson on Monday, was incor- rect. On inquiry it has been ascertained that no such guard has as yet been placed on board the ram, and that the only officers connected with the seizure of the ram were two Customs officials, who were then on board, the error is no doubt attributable to the but too conspicuous proximity of the gunboat Goshawk to the El Tousson, and to the fact that the crew of the gunboat often, in their eagerness to reach the shore, get over the sides of the ram for the sake of a " near cut." As it is, however, the Government have treated the pledge of Mr Laird, that the rams should not leave the Mersey without a substantial guarantee of their legality being given, with courtesy. The Liverpool on Monday left her moorings near Seacombe, and went up into the Bioyne and anchored. Benson's watches, adapted for every class, climate, and country, wholesale and retail.

DRURY- LANE THEATRE.— The long- talked-< Jf event came off on Saturday evening, Oct 10, before a house crowded in every part, that splendid dramatic poem " Manfred" being represented with grand scenic effects and every possible appliance in the shape of music, dresses, and decorations. Lord Byron always declared that this work was totally unfit for the stage, and al- though every attempt to produce it with the utmost grandeur was displayed on the present occasion, we cannot but think the noble poet expressed a sound judgment. It is something like twenty- nine years ago since its production at Covent- garden took the town by storm and excited a furore, which had its day and then died out. Mr Denvil was the hero, and MrWarde and Mr Cooper, two clever actors of those times, his most able seconds. " Man- fred" consists of scarcely any dramatic action, and is full of long poetic soliloquies, which are more fit for private perusal than for living illustration. It is needless to say that Mr Phelps declaims the passages of Manfred s part with admirable power, fine feeling, and with all the richness for which his voice and style so well qualify him. His reception was most enthusiastic, and the applause of the entire audience followed him throughout the evening. Mr Ryder made an impressive Abbot, speaking the little he had to say with emphasis and vigour, arid Mr A. Rayner, as the Chamois Hunter, made the most of the character, giving the lines allotted to him with capital elocutionary vigour. Miss Heath looked and spoke well as the Witch of the Alps, and Miss Atkinson, as one of the Fates, declaimed with true and broad effect. Sir Henry Bishop's music, originally composed for the poem, was given in its entirety, the chief executants being Miss Poole, Miss Cicely Nott, Miss Emma Hey wood, and Mr Swift, but it is not sufficiently melodious or striking to claim more than passing notice. The scenery, however, of the present revival is the loadstone which will attract the sight- seeing public. The glaciers nearthe summit of the Jungfrau, and the waterfall in the Alps, being exquisite specimens of Mr Telbin's talent, whilst the Hall of Arimanes, suggested by one of Martin's pictures, and painted by Mr Danson and his sons, forming a wonderfully con- ceived and capital!}- carried out set. Great applause accompanied the display of these marvels of scenic illusion, and by their aid\ " Manfred'' may possibly have a brilliant, though limited life. COVENT- GABDXN ROYAL ENSLISH OPERA.— The eighth and last season of Miss Louisa Pyne and Mr W. Harrison's manage- ment of English opera at this house commenced on Monday last, when the audience was a more numerous one than we ever re- member to have seen within the walls of the new theatre. Two reasons contributed to this result, the one being the known inten- tion of the Prince and Princess of Wales and the King of Greece to occupy the Queen's box, the other being the production of a new opera from the pen of Mr Wallace. The royal visitors, who were accompanied by the Prince and Princess Christian of Den- mark and their family, arrived early and appeared to take the greatest interest in the progress of the opera. The " Desert Flower" is in three acts, and is an adaptation by Messrs A. Harris and T. J. Williams of an operatic libretto, written by Messrs De St Georges and De Lewson. The plot is not of the most absorbing interest, the scene being placed near Surinam, and the characters being Dutch officers and soldiers, planters, Indian warriors, and the Queen of the tribe of Anakowtas. Captain Maurice ( Mr W. Harrison), and Major Hector Van Pumpernickle ( Mr Henry Corri), arrive at the residence of Eva, a young Creole ( Miss Susan Pyne), to protect her with a military force from the Indians. There they meet with the Queen Oanita ( Miss Louisa Pyne), and Casgan ( Mr W. H. Weiss), the latter in the disguise of a trapper. The Queen is brought in a prisoner, but contrives to escape, and whilst in the forest she discovers that she has lost her heart to Mau- rice; Casgan, who loves her, is in despair, and out of spite lures the Captain into an ambuscade, to which he believes Oanita lias invited him. The Queen, however, releases him from thraldom, and, rejecting Casgan's proffered love, is denounced to the tribe, and condemned to be burned on the funeral pile. At the critical moment, when the torch is absut to be applied, Maurice with his soldiers rush in and save the intended victim from destruction, Maurice declaring that " henceforth thro' life she ne'er shall leave his side." The music of the opera is graceful and pleasing, and in some passages acquires a local colouring from the introduction of an Indian air ; but there are no melodies in it like those which made i'. s composer's name famous, as in " Maritana" and " Lur- 1 ne." Miss Louisa Pyne sings two ballads of the ordinary stamp, and a song called " The Wood Bird's Lay,'' which is full of feata of vocal wonder and surprise. Mr Corri sang a bulfo song with humour and skill. Mr Weiss and Mr Harrison sang several bal- lads, and had the honour of being encored in all of them. The ehorusses, especially those for female voices, were most effectively rendered, and the entire performance of the opera, under the direction of Mr Mellon, was highly satisfactory. The scenery was excellent, and a little ballet in the second act was very cleverly executed. At the close of the opera the National Anthem was sung by all the company, though the royal party had by that time departed. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—" The Rivals" was played here on Wednesday night, for the purpose, we suppose, of introducing Miss Snowdon— a tall, lady- like actress, from the Brighton and Dublin Theatres— as Mrs Malaprop. Her success was assured by the audience, who laughed at the curiosities of the part, and the eccentricities of Mr Buckstone's Acres, as if they had never met with them before. The Prince and Princess of Wales and the Danish royal family were present. MR CHARLES MATHEWS.— This gentleman is about to leave the Varices, in order to fulfil an engagement at the Haymarket Theatre, a new comedy called " Silken Fetters" being ready for him. His benefit testified to the goodwill of his Parisian con- freres, all the eminent artistes offering their services. STRAND THEATRE.— A serious drama at this little theatre seems almost an anomaly, but " Miriam's Crime,'' written by Mr Craven, and produced here on Friday week for the first time, is so well written and so well played that the habitues of the house will surely welcome it as a pleasant change to their nightly bill of fare. Miriam ( Miss Kate Saville) is a poor dependent, living with a Mrs Wilson, who dies, leaving a will, in which she bequeaths the bulk of her large fortune to her protigee, to the exclusion of Bernard ( Mr Parselle), her nephew, and presumed heir. Miriam loves Bernard, though her affection is not reci- procated, and she destroys the will, that he may not be injured. Soon after this act a man enters and claims posses- sion, as the legal owner and inheritor, being one Scumley ( Mr Belford), a returned convict, though brother to the deceased lady. TA Miriam's horror Bernard is thus made penniless, and obliged to leave his old home. Miriam also leaves the house and goes into lodgings, where, finding a box with the address on it of a lawyer, Biles ( Mr George Honey), and having heard from him that another will in favour of Bernard had been executed, she opens the box, discovers this will, and takes it to him. Hiles is furious at the loss of the document, and watched and followed by Scumley; both are about to assail Miriam on her re- entrance, when Bernard opportunely arrives to protect her, and as the girl to whom he had plighted his troth had jilted him for his supposed poverty, he awakens to a sense of the love and devotion of Miriam, and the curtain falls on their mutual happiness. This drama served to introduce Miss Saville to a Strand audience; her performance, though a little too lachrymose, was full of earnest feeling and nice taste. Mr Belford looked and acted the villain with capital spirit, though somewhat out of his line of character, and Mr Honey, who is always assuring his hearers that he had much to be thank- ful for, was inimitable in the comic phases of the part. Despite the questionable morality of a young lady destroying a will and picking a lock, the drama is interesting, and will have its ad- mirers for many nights to come. THE KING or THE GREEKS — The King of the Greeks took leave of the Prince and Princess of Wales on Wednesday morn- ing, and left London by the London, Chatham, and Dover Rail- way, on his way to Paris. DEATH OF LORD LYNDHURST.— This venerable nobleman, whose death had been expected for some time, expired on Mon- day morning about three o'clock, at his residence in George- street, Hanover- square. He was in his 92d year, and his death is attributable entirely to a decay of nature. John Singleton Copley was the son of the distinguished painter of the same name. The artist himself was a native of Boston, in America, whither his father had emigrated from Ireland, and where he was himself residing when his son, the future Chancellor, was born so long ago as the 21st of May, 1772— so early, therefore, that the latter was a native of the United Provinces, while they were still an integral part of the British empire. He came to England in 1774, and occupied the very house in George- street in which the great lawyer has just passed away. Lord Lyndhurst entered Trinity College, Cambridge, at the age of 19, and greatly distin- guished himself. He was second wrangler in 1794, Dr Butler, late Dean of Peterborough, being first. He was also second to Butler, who was senior Smith's prizeman. He was called to the bar in June, 1804, became a sergeant in 1813, and in 1818 was made chief justice of Chester, and in the same year first returned to Parliament as member for Yarmouth, Isle of Wight. The following year he married the first Lady Lyndhurst, whose beautiful face, painted by Sir Thos. Lawrence, is so familiar to the collectors of engraved portraits ; and during the long vacation of the same year, Sir Robert Gifford having been appointed Attorney- General in the month of July, he succeeded to the office of 8olicitor- General, and subsequently received the honour of knighthood. In 1823 he succeeded Gifford as Attorney- General, and in 182H, on the death of Lord Gifford, was made Master of the Rolls, and in 1827, on the resignation of Lord Eldon, was made Lord Chancellor and created Baron Lynd- hurst. It would be impossible, in our limited space, to give even a sketch of his forensic or his political career. Our duty is simply to record the fact that one more gap is left in the ranks of those statesmen of past generations whose opinions for so many years, notwithstanding their great age, and their total retirement from political srrife, have been listened to by all political parties with respect and attention. In the words of The Times we may say— " In his latter years, indeed, struggling with infirmities which neither eclipsed his intellect nor chilled his aspirations, he was a grand and stately spectacle to listening senates, and there were moments when his voice startled the diplomacy of Europe while its accents thrilled and exalted its immediate auditors. To the House of Peers and to the humblest even of his fellow citizens he was the * old man eloquent' who had no longer any interest, any hope, or any care but the maintenance of his order and the good of his countrymen. He put away ambition from the hour when he declined to take a place in the first Cabinet of Lord Derby, though he gave that nobleman his warm and efficient support during the short intervals of his two administrations. From the fall of the former of these to his own decease he was absolved from the ordinary obligations of party, though he retained the attach- ments which arose out of its connection. By common consent he thenceforth ascended to a more than judicial eminence and ele- vation ; like the old Athenians cherished in the Prytaneium, he enjoyed at his option the liberty of repose, but his gratuitous energy and his public services surrounded him with an ever- glowing interest. He was still presently and promptly active, while, in virtue of half a century's labours, he had entered already on that inheritance of fame which the greatest men commonly obtain only from posterity." TAMWOKTII ELECTION.— On Monday the election for Tam- worth took place to supply the vacancy caused by the promotion of Lord Raynham to the Upper House as Marquis of Townshend. The candidates were Mr Cowper and Mr Peel, no relation to Sir Robert. The " scenes at the polling" were neither numerous nor exciting. The greatest diversion was created by Sir Robert Peel, who paid a visit to the booth at the Town Hall about an hour after the polling commenced, and, after a sharp altercation, knocked at least one man down. One of these persons thus as- saulted— Mr Isaac Bradbury— retorted the blow by striking the Chief Secretary for Ireland a sharp rap across the shoulders with a walking stick which he held in his hands. The right hon baro- net returned to Drayton Manor shortly after noon. The candi dates attended at the polling booths during the day, anS wp warmly cheered by their supporters. At the conclusion f Ve poll the mayor ( Mr Newbold) ascended a temporary pla^ • ^ under the Town Hall, and declared the election to have goiie- y favour of Mr John Peel, who had a majority of 57. V THE GREAT SHIP.— On Saturday, Oct 10, the committee of share- holders appointed at the special general meeting of the Great Ship Company on Friday, the 2d inst, to confer with the directors rela- tive to the best steps to be taken to relieve the undertaking from its present embarrassments, met at the offices of the company, in Monument- yard, City, with a view to the final consideration of their report, to be presented to the adjourned general meeting of the proprietors, at the London Tavern. It is believed that the report will recommend the immediate adoption of such steps as may best enable the shareholders to obtain some return of their capital, rather than that the ship should he sold and the company thrown into bankruptcy. There are sheriff's officers now on board the vessel, under an Admiralty warrant, issued at the suit of the brig Jane, capsised off Cape Clear, and whose owners demand compensation to the extent of between £ 5,000 and £ 6,060. The Great Eastern is now anchored at the mouth of the Mersey, there being no dock at Liverpool large enough to accommodate her. Amongst the recommendations of the committee will be one fer placing her on the Australian route. THE REV MR BEECHER.— Rector Campbell has sent the fol- lowing letter to the secretary of the Emancipation Society:— " Childwall, Oct 10, 1863. Sir : In reply to your letter request- ing me to inform my congregation that Mr H. W. Beecher will ' deliver a lecture in the Philharmonic Hall on the American war and emancipation,' I beg to inform you that I decline to in- vite my congregation to attend a lecture on that species of eman- cipation which Lord Brougham, in my opinion, justly calls'a hollow pretext designed to produce a siave insurrection.' I return you the platform ticket you have sent me, not intending to attend the lecture; being of opinion that persons professing themselves to be the ministers of a merciful God, ' the Author of peace and lover of concerd,' might be better employed than in advocating a fratricidal war accompanied by atrocities which, as Lord Broug- ham says again, ' Christian times have seen nothing to equal, and at which the whole world stands aghast almost to incredulity.' Your obedient servant, AUG. CAMPBELL, rector of Liverpool. Mr Robert Trimble."— Liverpool Albion. The marriage of the Hon and Rev George Herbert, brother of the Earl of Powis, and Miss Elizabeth Beatrice Sykes, fourth daughter of the late Sir Tatton Svkes, Bart, was solemnised OB Thursday at St George's Church, Hanover- wnare, BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, OCTOBER 10, 1863. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. LAUNCH OF THE VALIANT.— The first of the long- promised additions to our iron- clad fleet was made on Wednesday by the launch of this frigate from the yard of Messrs Westwood, at Poplar. According to the calculations and repeated statements of the Admiralty authorities made last year, this vessel was to have been the smallest of five of the same iron- clad class sent afloat before the present autumn. Now. however, it is almost needless to say that the Valiant will be the only iron frigate which our navy will receive this year at least. The dates for launching the Northumberland, the Agincourt, and Minotaur have been gra- dually postponed as the year has ad vanced, till now even the most forward of them all is only spoken of as being likely to quit the stocks abound the end of next December. The Achilles, which was begun about the same time as the Warrior, is the least for- ward of any, and nothing can more completely exemplify the disadvantage under which the Admiralty labour in endeavouring to compete with private firms in the construction of these iron frigates than the costly dilatoriness shown in the building of this single man- of- war at Chatham, which even now is not so much advanced as any of the new armour ships ordered last year. The Valiant is one of quite a new class of iron frigates— a connecting link, so to speak, between the magnificent Warrior and the ugly, but useful vessels of the Defence and Resistance class. Her length over all is 280ft, her extreme breadth 56ft, and her depth from her spar deck 39ft. Her lines are infinitely finer than the broad- bowed vessels like the Defence, but yet are not to be compared in fineness to the Warrior ; while, on the other hand, her bows, without having a regular beak to be used as a ram, are still sufficiently projecting beneath the water line to enable her, if she got a chance of striking an enemy, to inflict fearful mischief without in the least risking the safety of her own hull; she is, in fact, a sister ship to the Hector, which was launched from the Clyde at the close of last year. In the construction of the hull the principle is the same as that of all the iron frigates— that is to say, the Valiant, within her armour of teak and iron, is a perfect web of wrought- iron ribs and longitudinal girders. Like the new frigates, however, she is to be plated from stem to stern in armour, the stern being almost as fine as her bows, and with an ' additional plating of iron over her outer stern- post and rudder- head. About 80ft from the bows inboard she is fitted with a semicircular shield, which extends from one side'of the vessel to the other, and rises from the main deck to the level of her bulwarks on the spar deck. This is coated with 4J- ineh armour plates, and lined with teak as with the broadside. On the main deck it is closed, but on the upper is pierced for two of the heaviest guns for use in chasing an enemy, or when bearing down on one to strike her as a ram. It is intended that the Valiant shall be fitted with a pair of horizontal engines of 800- horse nominal power, on the double piston- rod principle, manu- factured by Messrs Maudslay. The cylinders are each to be 82in diameter, with a stroke of 4ft. They will both be surrounded with steam jackets, which are supplied with steam direct from the boilers; the ends of the cylinders and the cylinder covers are also to be cast hollow, and supplied with steam in the same manner. The screw propeller is 20ft diameter, with two blades, constructed so that the pitch can be varied from 22ft 6is to 27ft 6in. When working full power the engines are expected to make about sixty revolutions per minute. There will be six boilers, placed three on either side of the vessel, with the stoking- room between them. There will be also a pair of auxiliary engines of the col- lective power of forty horses to work two double- acting force pumps, arranged with a system of pipes throughout the vessel for the purpose of extinguishing fire. Theseengineswillbe also usedfor driv- ing two fans for ventilating the cabins by means of twolinesfof pipes, ranged one on either side, throughout the length of the vessel, with gratings for regulating the supply of air into eaeh compartment. These engines will also be used for driving a blast fan for a cupola furnace, for melting iron for shells, placed at the end of the stoke- hole, and for driving an apparatus for raising the ashes on to the upper deck, so as to save labour. Externally the Valiant looks as ugly as the Hector, though better in the water than either the Resistance or Defence. About 400 tons of her armour plates are already bolted on, and the others, manufactured at Messrs Brown's works, Sheffield, are ready for fastening. The launch yesterday was beautifully managed. So perfect were the arrangements, that when she was almost on the point of starting, the final push . with the hydraulics was at the last moment delayed to allow a vessel that was in the river to get out of the way, and during this interval the Valiant stood so equally balanced on the stocks tliat a movement would have started her. She is not likely to leave the river yet for some months, as all her internal fittings, includ- ing engines, with her armour and rigging, have yet to be completed. OUR IRON- CLADS.— The east division of the Channel fleet ar- rived at Spithead on Saturday from Devonport. The Warrior and Resistance, iron frigates, first hove in sight, and the latter an- chored at Spithead by eight a. m. The Warrior lay to in St Helen's Roads, and did not anchor at Spithead until eleven a. m. The Ad- miral, in his flagship the Edgar, in company with the Emerald, wooden screw frigate, did not arrive at Spithead until five p. m. Both ships had remained off the Isle of Wight, where their crews had been exercised in firing with shot and shell. The passage from Plymouth Sound to Spithead was made with reduced boiler power, and on Friday night week the Resistance, with three boilers in use, and contending with a strong S. E. gale, maintained a steady rate of speed of six knots. The officers of the two iron- clads speak in the most enthusiastic terms of their ship's behaviour at sea, but at the same time admit that a somewhat different form of bottom would give them more stability, and lessen the tendency they have to roll. Still, with even this admitted fault, it is contended that, on the whole, they are better sea boats than our heaviest wooden frigates of the Mersey and Orlando class. Seamen always speak flatter- ingly of the ship in which they serve; but if there be any truth in this comparison drawn between iron and wooden ships, then © uri| iron- clads must be very much better sea boats, or have been very much better handled, than the French iron- clad squadron which is now undergoing extensive repairs at Brest, in conse- quence of the damage received during its first experimental cruise. Reverting to our own iron- clads, it appears to be the general opinion of officers serving in them that the Resistance and Defence class must be more generally serviceable as war ships than the Warrior or Minotaur class can ever be. The latter undoubtedly possess the advantages belonging to beauty of form and great speed under steam, yet, from their extreme length, they cannot be turned so shortly or so readily manoeuvred as smaller vessels. These facts will possibly hold good so long as our iron- clads are propelled by single screws; but now that it has been so repeatedly proved that ships can be made to turn upon their own centre as upon a pivot when propelled by two screws, the chief objection to ships of the Warrior's length seems to be overcome. A ship constructed for two screws would also possess much greater bearings at her midship section than a single- screw vessel; she would consequently roll less, and be a much better sea boat, than any vessel with a single screw could possibly be, and would also draw one- third less water than is the rule with our present iron- clads, A vessel like the Warrior must draw a certain draught of water in order to develop the power of her 1,250- horse engines and her monster screw. In shoal or narrow waters such a ship is helpless; she can neither approach sufficiently near a shore battery nor manoeuvre in front of it. Had the Warrior been built for and fitted with twin screws, her lessened draught of water would have enabled her to be taken so much nearer the shore, and to be manoeuvred as might be wished when she had reached the desired position. NEW GUNBOATS — A newciass of gunboats now under con- sideration at the Admiralty, to be built of iron and to be armour- plated, will shortly be commenced, to replace the condemned gunboat fleet at Haslar. In these vessels the twin screw prin- ciple, well known, and approved by Mr Reed and the Admiralty Board, will be thoroughly carried out. Loss OF TWO NAVAL OFFICERS.— Lieutenant- Commander Dolbin and Lieut Atkinson, of Her Majesty's ship Rattlesnake, were drowned on the 1st of Sept in crossing the Lagos bar. Lieut Dolbin had just been appointed to the Investigator, which was under orders to proceed to the Niger. He left Lagos to report himself to the Commodore, who was outside in the Rattlesnake, and instead of taking a cargo boat took a four- oared whaler. He left the Rattlesnake to return to Lagos, taking with him. besides his boat's crew, Lieut Atkinson and Midshipman Ewbank. The first surf that struck the boat capsized it, and one of the Kroomen immediately sank. The three officers struggled to the boat, but the next sea breaking over it caused it to strike Lieut Atkinson on the face, and he immediately sank, the other two officers being also washed away from the boat. Mr Ewbank had partially stripped, but Lieut Dolbin being in uniform, and wearing his sword, was unable to do so. One of the Kroomen pushed a mast to him, which he took hold of, but he suddenly went down. The boat with the four survivors clinging to it drifted beyond the breakers, and they were picked up by a canoe. COURT MARTIAL.— A court- martial assembled on Tuesday morning on board Her Majesty's ship Formidable, 84, flagship of Vice- Admiral Sir G. R. Lambert, K. C. B., Commander- in- Chief at Bheerness, for the trial ox Erasmus C. Roberts, additional second master belonging to the Formidable, but serving on board the Lizard, 3, paddlewheel tender to the Formidable. Capt John Talford, of the Formidable, presided over the Court, and the case was conducted by Mr G. H. Knight ( of the firm of Messrs Essell, Knight, and Arnold, Admiralty solicitors, Rochester), Deputy Judge- Advocate. The court was held under a warrant from the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and on the complaint of Lieut Henry Joseph Challis, commanding the Lizard. The charge preferred against the prisoner was that he, being in actual service and on full pay as additional second master of the Lizard, was, on the 26th of Sept last, drunk on board the vessel and unfit to per- form his duties. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and threw himself on the mercy of the court. He was adjudged to forfeit two years' seniority and to be dismissed t! ae ship. A MODEL IRISH PEER.— The Earl of Leitrim has lately set an example to his tenantry, and to his countrymen generally, which we are persuaded will not be followed by the most rabid ribbon- man or the most disloyal Irishman in existence, an example which we are puzzled whether to deride for its childishness or to reprobate for its inhospitality, which latter quality has never been one of the attributes of the Irish nation even towards their enemies. In order to explain the case we may state that his lord- ship was fired at in the town of Leitrim by a man who was after- wards confined as a lunatic, instead of being subjected to the con- dign punishment which he would have richly merited if sane, apd which, in Lord Leitrim's opinion, ought to have been in- flicted upon him. At all events, the earl was highly displeased at the apathy shown by the O. vernment on the subject, and inter- preted it as an indifference to the security of life and property in that neighbourhood The affair, however, seems to have blown over, as such affairs do in Ireland, though the memory of it re- mained deeply implanted in the breast of this implacable noble- man. He resolved to watch his opportunity, and to take a signal revenge on the Government which had set too low a value on his personal safety. Lord Carlisle Had attended the Ballinasloe fair, and was tempted to make a rapid excursion into the Conneinara mountains before returning to that town on his way to Dublin. Conneinara is a wild country, nd the inns, from which, as in the North of Scotland, distances a> e reckoned for want of towns, are few and far between. One of t hem is at Maam, on Lough Corrib, the shores of which at this point are on the estate of Lord Leitrim. He chanced to hear of Lord Carlisle's intended route, and the idea instantly flashed across him that the hour of retribution was come. He hurried off to Galway, and despatched an express to his tenant, the hotel- keepei at Maam, with a letter, the text of which has happily been preserved. It runs thus:— " Galway, Oct 6,1863. " KING : I will be obliged so you to fill the hotel with my tenants forthwith. Let every loom be occupied immediately, and continue to be occupied, and, when so occupied, you will refuse admittance to Lord Carlisle and his party. If there should be the slightest difficulty as to filling the hotel, or the occupation of the ^• Q . j - vs. my desire is that you will fill each room with the work- , ( but you must not admit Lord Carlisle, and consequently * Jms should be occupied previous to his coming there, any >• > * iicrs you may have received notwithstanding. I rely on your observing my wishes to the letter.— Yours faithfully, " LEITRIM. " P. 8. I will pay for the tenants using the rooms.'' Before this reached its destination King had been informed that the Lord- Lieutenant was to return that way, and to put up at his house for the night. But the mandate was inexorable, and if the Queen herself, instead of her representative, had presented herself at his doors, she would no doubt have been turned away had Lord Leitrim so willed it. Nothing could be more complete than the ruse, and we are told that a crowd had collected at Maam to wit- ness the discomfiture of the Lord- Lieutenant; but this part of the sport was spoilt by the vigilance of a sub inspector of police. Hearing of the trap that had been set, this officer apprised the viceregal party as they were on the road. The Irish drivers proved equal to the emergency, and declared their readiness to drive on to Cong, and to Cong they accordingly went at a rattling pace, without stopping at the hotel which was thus barred against their ingress. Poor King, of course, lost the profit of the visit, but he would have lost his livelihood by offending his landlord, and so he submitted to be the negative instrument of Lord Leitrim's vengeance, which nearly cost the victim of it a night's rest. The gentlemanly Irish peer was thus baulked of his intended vengeance, and took nothing by his motion. He did not even succeed in inducing the Lord- Lieutenant to view the matter in a personal light, the insult was too far beneath contempt for that. But the disrespect shown, in the Earl of Carlisle's person, to the authority of the Sovereign represented by him rendered the no- bleman who could offer it clearly unfit for holding the Queen's commission in three counties. Consequently: Lord Leitrim is left at leisure to write letters to " King of Maam " at his sovereign indiscretion; but he no longer wields the subordinate sceptre of King of Men in the worshipful court of quarter sessions. He has been removed from the commission of the peace in Donegal, Lei- trim, and Gsflway, and has also been deprived of the deputy- lieu- tenancy of Leitrim. On Tuesday, October 13, the Princess of Wales, the Princess Christian of Denmark, and Princess Dagmar, attended by the Hon. Mrs. W. Grey, honoured the Mssrs Southwell, in Baker- street, with a visit, and sat for their photographs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. A STERN PAEIENT AND A DISCONSOLATE COUPLE.— At Guild* hall, on Tuesday, Mr Alfred Edward Pountney, a young gentle" man, a clerk in the post office at Ely, near Cambridge, was summoned before Alderman Hale for having, on the 19th of August last, committed wilful and corrupt perjury in an affidavit made before one of the surrogates in Doctors'- commons, for the purpose of obtaining a license for the solemnisation of matrimony between himself and Miss Elizabeth Evans Cropley, without the consent of her father. The affidavit was read, and among other things it stated that the young lady was of the age of 21 years and upwards, and that the young gentleman had had his usual place of abode within the parish of St Bride, Fleet- street, for fifteen days preceding the application for the license. These statements con- stituted the perjury complained of.— Alderman Hale, after listen- ing to the evidence of the complainant and recommending him to withdraw the charge, said : I can fully sympathise with the pro- secutor for the violation of his feelings as a parent, but I do think that nothing can be gained by a parent in prosecuting his own child, and I therefore again suggest to you, Mr Cropley, that this is a case in which you can with more propriety withdraw from the prosecution than proceed with it. For the happiness of these young people, for the father's own comfort and peace Of mind hereafter, it would be better not to go on with a prosecution which can only embitter the lives of all concerned, and I am per- fectly certain that six months hence the father will, on calm re- flection, consider the more lenient course the wiser.— Mr Cropley, who listened to these remarks with the utmost indifference, while everyone else in court was touched with the kind feelings which prompted them, coolly remarked— I feel much obliged to your worship for your advice, but there are certain circumstances in this young man's conduct which make me feel it my duty to prosecute him.— Further evidence having been given, Alderman Hale said: To show my opinion of this prosecution, I shall ac- cept the defendant's own recognisances to appear and answer the charge at the Central Criminal Court. The subject of bail had been previously mentioned, and several of the young lady's friends immediately stepped forward and offered themselves as sureties for the defendant, but their services were net, as it proved, required. ^ ^ WEYHILL FAIB.— This great fair has been going on during the past week. The supply of sheep and cattle was large, and best de scriptions commanded a good and ready sale. The horse show was extensive, and comprised some herds of promising cart colts. A large business was transacted at the following figures:— Milch cows, large and well bred, £ 18 to £ 21; and small cows for cheese and butter dairying, £ 13 to £ 16; young Guernsey and Jersey cows, in full milk, £ 12 to £ 15; and well bred Alderney cows fresh from the island, £ 10 to £ 14; and cows of various breed to calve down, £ 7 to £ 11. Store Beast: Devon and Sussex steers for the fatting- stalls brought from £ 12 to £ 15, and large grown young bullocks £ 17; Welsh steers, £ 9 to £ 10; ditto heifers, £ 6 to £ 8; and Welsh milking cows, £ 9 to £ 12; large working oxen accus- tomed to agricultural work made from £ 32 to £ 44 the pair; fat beasts, £ 20 to £ 24 ; and cows and heifers £ 14 to £ 17. Yearlings and off- lying stock met a dull enquiry.— The Horse Fair: Handsome cart horses, adapted for London and town work, were selected at from 40 to 50 guineas; seasoned ditto for farming work 15 to 22 guineas, promising three year old cart colts 35 to 40 guineas, two year old ditto 18 to 25 guineas, and yearlings 10 guineas; sound nags and roadsters fetched 25 to 38 guineas, com- pact cobs and neat galloways 18 to 25 guineas, and good harness ponies and forest colts 7 to 12 guineas; hunters'horses of good blood and pedigree 80 to 120 guineas, and ditto good fencers and up to heavy weight 140 to 160 guineas; strong thick- set horses for carriers, brewers, & c, 28 to 40 guineas, and fine- grown fashionable horses suitable for private carriage purposes 50 to 60 guineas, nag colts and young Irish horses 20 to 30 guineas. — The hop fair seemed to be rather heavy. Business progressed slowly, and factors who had large bulks consigned effected some wholesale bargains, but very active speculation was evinced by merchants. In the country rows sales were slowly effected. Wor- cester were in good demand, but prices precluded any extensive business. Sussex growths were offered at lower rates. Kent hops, as usual, commanded much attention, but the chief centre of at- traction were the Famhams, which are hops grown in Surrey and very highly appreciated, and much sought after by bitter and pale ale brewers. A large portion of continental produce was re- presented by sample, but met rather a dull inquiry. Buyers pur- chased shyly, and the following were the prices obtained for best qualities of hops of this season and English growth, viz :— East and Mid Kent, common runs, £ 5 10s to £ 6 per cwt, and choice quality, £ 6 12s to £ 8; wealds, £ 5 12s to £ 6 63 ; Sussex hops, new, made from £ 5 to £ 6 per cwt; Worcesters, common runs, £ 6 to £ 6 6s; and choice growths, £ 6 10s to £ 7. Farnhams, goldings, and other, choice sorts fetched £ 8 to £ 9 per cwt, and growths of full flavour and bright aroma made from £ 10 to £ 10 10s, and in some instances higher rates were obtained. Old hops of various kinds were inactive, and sold at from 40s to 55s per cwt. The cheese fair was, as usual, largely supplied, and high prices were obtained. MALTON GREAT MICHAELMAS FAIR.— The great annual fair for the sale of horses, horned cattle, and rams was held here on Monday, Oct 12, and was the busiest of many years. Buyers for distant parts of the country have been more than ordinarily nume- rous, and have considerably influenced prices. The show of horned cattle was quite an average one, and generally of good quality; although, perhaps, among the English steers there were fewer droves of extremely large beasts than in former years. The show of English shorthorns was a very large one, and met with a brisk demand. The top qualities ( half fat now) for the straw yards, likely to come out as beef at Christmas, were eagerly bought up, and for the best droves prices of £ 22 to £ 24 per head were given. These cattle were bought up early in the day, many of them for Lincolnshire and the eastern counties, but a good part for the Wolds. The best qualities of the leaner steers were pretty freely purchased at from £ 18 to £ 22 per head, and heifers at from £ 14 to £ 20 per head. There were some lots at lesser figures, but generally sellers asked exorbitantly, and had to come down at night, when several droves turned out unsold. The Highland bullocks were de- cidedly a small show, and as these are favourites for parks, & c, were soon picked up at £ 8 to £ 12 per head. Polled Scots were a very good show, and in capital condition. These also were freely bought at £ 7 to £ 12 per head, but a clearance was not made. The Irish cattle were in large supply, many droves being low in con- dition, having crossed the country from Morecambe. The best lots were sold pretty well, and at prices fully £ 2 per head over last year; some lots brought 10 to 11 guineas per head, but the general run made £ 8 to £ 10 for steers, and for heifers £ 4 to £ 8, inferior £ 4 to £ S. Those who overheld the market had to come down in price considerably towards night. Prices of horned stock have been on the whole higher than for a long time. The quantity of straw and turnips in the country, which must be consumed, together with the splendid crops of after- grass, have contributed to the demand, and hence the tightness of the mar- ket. In the horse fair there was a large exhibition, but the best animals were scarce. Several dealers who buy on commission were present, and anything of quality for carriage, saddle, or charger was at once secured, generally at very good prices. The great bulk of the horses were for agricultural purposes, and were only slow of sale. Foals were not particularly good, those of promise— breed and condition considered— were easily disposed of, others a bad speculation. The droves of Scotch ponies were numerous, and generally of good quality. Two year olds were well bought at £ 9 to £ 14, and yearlings at £ 2 to £ 3 per head less. Useful animals, good actioned, of this class, were in great demand. The Leicester ram show was extremely large, and a pretty active trade resulted. Notwithstanding the recent disper- sion of the late Sir Tattou Sykes's flocks, the transactions with the Yorkshire farmers were numerous. Prices in the open market may be quoted at from £ 3 to £ 8, but not all sold. The great- an- nual sale of the shearling rams bred by Mr Thorpe, of Aldrough, one of the bleakest positions of the Wolds, created an extra ordinary amount of interest this year. The rams are reputed ex- tremely hardy, and are therefore sought alter. Messrs Bolton drew round them one of the largest companies yet remembered, and the competition for the whole flock was remarkably brisk, only three sheep being returned as unsold. Prices ranged from £ 6 to 10 guineas a head, many of the purchases being for purposes of cross breeding with the native sheep of the moorlands in the west, north- west, and east of the county. It is believed that more busi- ness has been done in Leicester rams this year than was ever before transacted in Malton. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT PORT- GLASGOW.— On Friday morning week a serious accident occurred on the Caledonian line of railway at Port- Glasgow station, which has resulted in loss of life. The Belfast mail steamer was upwards of an hour behind time, and the early Irish mail passenger train, of five carriages and engine, only reached Port- Glasgow, on the way up to Glas- gow, about half- past six o'clock. It halted a minute there, and was just on the point of starting when up came an engine- tender and van 011 the same line of rails behind it, proceeding to shunt some trains. Whether the signalman had failed to display the " danger" signal, or whether, having done so, the driver of the engine- tender had failed to distinguish that signal, remains yet to be discovered, as the signalman urges that he did display the signal, while the engine- driver insists that there was 110 such signal displayed. True it is, however, that the engine- tender ran into the passenger train just as it was starting, and smashed up the last carriage— a third- class, with seats containing a number of passengers, all of whom were more or less injured, and one killed, George Jones, a mason's labourer to the railway company. Hector Deck, a mason to the company, residing in Greenock, one leg amputated, and supposed to be sinking. These men were proceeding to their day's work on the line. An old woman named M'llhennie had both her legs cut off at the thighs, and has since died. A young mail named Martin, attached to the railway com- pany's parcel offices at Greenock, who was proceeding on leave of absence to see his friends in Ayrshire, injured, but not seriously. John M'Culloeh, the driver of the passenger engine, ribs broken. SUFFOCATION OF FOUB PERSONS IN A GRAIN CISTERN AT LEICESTER.— An inquest was held at Leicester on Saturday night 011 the bodies of four persons— Charles Gregory, 71; Charlotte Gregory, 31; Charles Freeman, 34; and J. Tacey, 31— of the Garibaldi public- house, who met with their deaths through suffocation in a grain cistern. The deceased Gregory was a cow- keeper, and in the yard at the back of his house, adjoining the Blue Boar Inn, was a cistern, formerly a rain- water cistern, but latterly used for the storage of grain, and to the interior of which access was obtained through a trap- door and down a ladder. Prior to the grain being fetched out it was customary, in conse- quence of the stench arising from the grain inside, to leave the door open for a few days. On Friday afternoon Gregory told the cow- lad, King, to fetch some grains out of the cistern; but, as the door had not been opened for some time previous to allow of the escape of the stench, he refused to go. Gregory ridiculed the lad's idea as to there being a smell, and said, " I'll go down ; it won't hurt me." He then opened the door, put the ladder down, and de- scended; but it seems that he no sooner got to the bottom than he fell down insensible. His daughter sent the lad for assistance, and in the meantime she seems to have entered the cistern to endeaveur to rescue her father, for on other persons ar- riving at the place she was found to be lying in the hole. The two other deceased were the first to reach the place, when they both entered the hole, Freeman taking the lead, but they had no sooner entered than they were both similarly affected. Tacey, who was the last to go in, grasped at Freeman, when, appearing to be over- come with the carbonic acid gas, he returned to the ladder, but fell back, and all four bodies lay in the cistern. A fifth person was about to enter, but was prevented from doing so, and after much difficulty the fnur bodies were got up with drags. Medical testi- mony showed that Tacey breathed when brought to the surface, and that all four died from inhaling carbonic acid gas. It was stated that during the day a lighted candle was put into the hole, and that it was at once extinguished by the carbonic acid gas. A verdict was accorded—" That the deceased met with their deaths through inhaling carbonic acid gas.'' HEAVY COMPENSATION.— In the Lord Mayor's Court-, on Thurs- day, one Collins, of 5, Turnwheel- lane, Cannon- street, sought compensation from the Charing- cross Railway Company, under the following circumstances:— It appeared that the plaintiff paid £ 90 rent under a 14 years' lease, to expire in 1869. He let the house to Mrs Lapper, who carried on the business of a billiard- table keeper, paying £ 520 per annum rent. It was stated that a Mr Stebbings formerly carried on the business in Old Cannon- street, and it became very famous. It was known all over the city of London as " Stebbings's Billiard Rooms," and, when Stebbings died, after his removal to Turnwheel- lane, Mr Lapper, who had been his marker for 25 years, took the tables and house. Upon his decease the widow, assisted by her son, still carried on the business at a large profit. The evidence went to show further that there were two public and four private tables, which latter let at Is 6d per hour. The rooms were licensed by the Court of Aldermen, and opened at one o'clock in the afternoon, keeping so till one'clock next morning. On some occasions they were kept open later. The receipts from the tables alone were over £ 1,000 per annum.— After other evidence had been called, Mr Lloyd pro- ceeded to address the jury, and urged that the business had be- come so celebrated that even if the rooms were removed the name would carry its fame with it. The learned counsel was of opinion that the alleged improved rental was nothing but a division of the profits, and he called upon the jury to do justice to the company in this case by awarding a moderate sum.— His lordship summed up, and pointed out to the jury that the plaintiff was entitled to be put in the same position as he was before the company took his house, but the jury were not to award compensation upon any extravagant claims, Vut simply to weigh the figures put before them. According ro the plaintiff £ 2,600 was claimed, while the company put it at £ 1,322.— The jury, after a consultation, awardes the plaintiff £ 1,650 compensation, not including tables or flxtured. WESTMINSTER- BRIDGE APPROACHES.— On Thursday notices were posted up in Palace- yard, bj' direction of the commissioners for the erection of Westminster- bridge, that it is their intention by their auctioneer to sell some more houses in Bridge- street and Palace- yard, which are to be taken down in order to widen the approach to the bridge, among the property being the long- estafelished tavern, the King's Arms. It is expected that before the meeting of Parliament the remainder of the houses will be cleared away, so that there will be an open space to Westminster Hall. CRICKETERS' REGISTER.

Corporal Collier played a fine ( not out) innings of 44 for the Garrison, and Captain Whitting two good ones of 14 and 26.

This match was commenced on Sept 3, and as time did not admit of its being played out, was decided in favour of the Fusi- liers by 12 runs 011 the first innings. Without wishing to detract from the honour of the victory gained by the gallant Fusiliers, we may remark that in the second innings the Royal Artillery had five wickets down for 75 runs, and only required 12 runs to win. Mr Kingscote's innings of 42 was one of the finest hitting innings played here this season; and Mr Butler played two innings for the Fusiliers quite up to his old Cheltenham form. In the second innings of the Gunners the hitting was terrific, 75 runs being ob- tained in 35 minutes. Score: ROYAL ARTILLERY.

This, the last match of the season, was played at Gibraltar on Sept 4, and as time would not admit of its being played out, was decided in favour of Capt Whitting's Eleven by 5 runs on the first innings. The small scores obtained by each side in the first in- nings may be attributed to the excellent bowling of Sturgess, Mellor, Kingscote, and Sharpe. In the second innings of Mr Kingscote's Eleven, the batting obtained an ascendency over the bowling. This concluded a most successful season at Gibraltar.

CRICKET IN BRAZIL^ Beneath a tropical sun, and amid the magnificent scenery which is one of the well- known characteristics of Rio de Jaueiro, a few lovers of our manly national game assembled on the 24th of June, on the Campo de San Cristovseo, the match being between the English Residents and Her Majesty's 8hips then in port— viz, Clio, Egmont, and Satellite. The wickets were pitched at 10 a. m., and at 10: 30 the Navy, having won the toss, commenced their innings. The steady play of Mr Selby, of the Satellite, was worthy of notice; also the good batting of Lieut Welch, of the Clio ( captain of the eleven). The bowling of W. Tross was very destructive. For the English Residents, Mr Astley played well and steadily for 21. After a short interval for lunch the Navy re- sumed the bat, scaring 56, notwithstanding the ill- luck of their " gun,'' who, hitting round to leg the first ball, gave a chance to the longstop, which was prettily taken with one hand. The Residents commenced their second innings with 70 to get to win, but the somewhat puzzling underhand bowling of Lieut Riving- ton, aided by good fielding, was too much for them, and the Navy proved victorious by 33 runs. The spectators were but few — English, of course, the Brazilians not understanding the game, but considering it a species of madness. A few ladies, as well as the English Charge d'Affaires and Consul, honoured the ground with their presence. Score HER MAJESTY'S SHIPS. 1st inn 2d inn Sub- Lieut W. Selby, c C., b W.

For here, cut by their own hands in boy- hood with more or less skill, you have the names of some of the foremost men in England's modern history; the schoolfellows " Byron'' and " R. Peel"— the latter in bold deep capitals, as de- termined to leave his mark legibly amongst the boys or men of his generation: and not far off, his successor in the premiership, but his senior at Harrow by five years— a whole school generation —" H. Temple," Viscount Palmerston, with the tell- tale date 1800. There, too, may be read an older narre, which carries with it even now a deep and pathetic interest, from the sad fate which struck it so early from the rolls of the living—" Spencer Perceval.'' It is the story of a past generation, yet well remembered— the better, perhaps, because his fate was so nearly repeated in the case of Peel; and even the modern visitor can scarcely help being affected by the brief note appended to the " speech bill'' of 1812, in which the younger Perceval is set down to recite Gray's " Bard'' —" Not spoken, in consequence of the assassination of his father." Many other such memorials of the boyhood of remarkable men may be traced on those old school walls; many have disappeared under the vigorous knife of some modern Smith or Thompson, too eager to record that he too had dwelt in this Arcadia ; and it is to prevent this desecration of old memories by modern ambi- tion that all carving on the walls themselves is now strictly for- bidden, and long boards have been set up upon which the modern Harrovian may hand down his name to posterity, if so disposed, in legible capitals executed by the school custos for the moderate consideration of half- a- crown.— Blackwood's Magazine. DE LIVINGSTONE.— Sir Roderick Murchison, in a letter to a contemporary, supplies the following sad information concerning Dr Livingstone's expedition :—" I grieve to announce the death of a distinguished young geologist, Mr Richard Thornton, as com- municated to me by my friend Dr Livingstone, in the following letter :—' Murchison Cataracts ( 011 the Shire), April 25.— My dedr Sir Roderick: With sorrow I have to communicate the sad in- telligence that Mr Richard Thornton died on the 21st current. He performed a most fatiguing journey from this to Tette and back again, and that seemed to use up all his strength, for there- after he could make no exertion without painful exhaustion. His object was to connect his bearings of the hills at Tette ( on the Zambesi) with the mountains here. I knew nothing of hisresolu- tion till after he had left. He had resolved to go home after he had examined Zomba and the Melanje range, but on the 11th he was troubled with diarrhoea, which ran 011 to dysentery and fever. We hoped to the last that his youth and unimpaired con- stitution would carry him through, as he had suffered compara- tively little from fever ; but we were disappointed. An insidious delirium prevented us learning aught of his last wishes. All his papers, & c, were at ® nce sealed up, and are sent home to his brother at Bradford. He is buried about 500 yards from the foot of the first cataract, and on the right bank of the Shire.' After alluding to the depopulation of the valley, and the probability of his being obliged to taice to pieces the steamer, and screw her together, with the view of a sale, Dr Livingstone thus concludes : —' Dr Kirk and Mr Charles Livingstone now go home. The scene of desolation around us reacts on my health badly. Present my kind regards to Lady M., and believe me ever yours, DAVID LIVINGSTONE."'

The dates by this arrival are:— Honduras, Sept 15th; Grey town, 18th ; Jamaica, 25th; Grenada, 25th ; St Vincent, 25th; Trinidad, 24th; Demerara, 23d ; Tobago, 23d; Porto Rico, 28th; Jacmel, 26th; Barbadoes, 26th; St Lucia, 26th; Martinique, 26th; Antigua, 27th; St Kitt's, 28th; St Thomas, 29th. During the passage the Seine experienced fine weat'her till the 7th, and from the 8th to the 12th heavy north- easterly gales and high sea. Intelligence from Santo Domingo states that the Dominicans had succeeded in making themselves masters of Port- au- Plate, but it was bombarded by three war- vessels from Cuba and retaken. The Spaniards from the town pursued them to a considerable distance. When far away from the town the Do- minicans turned upon their pursuers and slaughtered them, to the number of nearly a thousand. There was no other news of importance. WRECK OF A DUTCH VESSEL ON THE GOODWIN SANDS.— On Sunday, Oct 11, while it was blowing hard from the S. S. W., and a heavy sea was running, signals of distress were observed to be flying from a vessel on the Goodwin Sands. The Walmer lifeboat of the national Lifeboat Institution was at once manned and put off to the help of the crew. On arriving at the sands it was found that the vessel was the ketch Snip, of Amsterdam, and that she was leaking, both her pumps being choked. The captain, fearing his vessel v/ ould break up, requested the lifeboat to remain by him till his vessel was in safety. The lifeboat assisted in getting the ketch off the sands, and the Ram- gate steam- tug arriving soon afterwards, the captain employed her to tow the ketch into that harbour, where she arr ivedabout 11: 30 a. m., with loss of anchor and chain. THE FBENCH EXCURSION TO THE CRYSTAL PALACE.— The experiment on Monday last, when nearly 600 persons were car- ried from French ports to the Crystal Palace and back on the same day, proved eminently successful. For the South Eastern excur- sion the steamer Victoria left Boulogne at half- past eight, the pas- sengers reaching the Crystal Palace at 1 p. m., thus performing the journey in 4| hours. The Calais ( London, Chatham, and Dover Railway) excursion started at 7: 30, and arrived at Penge at half- past twelve. Accounts of the various entertainments pro- vided at the Palace have aready been published, and it will be sufficient here to remark that the French excursion fete was suffi- ciently important to insure a royal visit to the Palace. The excur- sionists left Sydenham at six o'clock, and were safely landed at their respective ports at about half- past ten. It is proposed to organise a series of these trips during the ensuing season. POACHING AFFRAY.— Worcestershire is infested with poachers, who, in spite of the police and game watchers, carry on a very successful trade. On Monday night sixteen men, armed with guns and accompanied by dogs, were seen leaving the neigh- bourhood of some well- known preserves, about three miles from Worcester, and are supposed to be the same gang that set upon the watcher of Mr R. Berkeley, of Spetchley Park, on the pre- ceding night. It seems that early on Sunday morning, as two watchers on Mr Berkeley's manor were eut they observed two men setting nets near a small cover, only a shori distance from the village of Spetchley. They gave information to Mr Berkeley's head keeper, Felton, and the three men seized the poachers. The poachers, however, gave the alarm to their companions, who were beating the cover, and about a dozen men fell upon the keepers with bludgeons. A fight ensued, but the keepers were over- matched, and one by one were felled to the ground. Felton was the last, but a blow from behind brought him also down, on which one of the assailants cried out, " We've got him down at last; now let's finish him." The poachers continued to beat the keepers while on the ground, and only made off on the arrival of Felton's wife, who had been attracted to the spot by the noise of the strug- gle, and who shouted " Murder !" All three of the keepers are badly injured. Felton received some violent blows on the head, but a thick felt padded hat was a great protection. This hat was almost cut to pieces. The other men were seriously injured. Wil- lis, one of the watchers, was insensible for some time. He was felled by a blow on the head from a large stone, but as he did not move the poachers did not beat him. Hunty, the other watcher, was most injured ; his hat fell off early in the struggle, and his head was exposed to the heavy blows dealt upon it by the poach- ers' bludgeons. He is covered with bruises, but all three are out of danger. The keepers were accompanied by a muzzled dog, which got badly treated. The night was very dark, so that none of the men could be identified. On Tuesday no less than six dif- ferent cases of poaching were heard before the Worcester county magistrates. FATAL ACCIDENT.— On Wednesday morning a fatal accident happened to Capt S. Usher, R. N. The unfortuuate gentleman was seeing some of his friends off in the Sir Robert Peel steam vessel from Fenning's Wharf, London Bridge, when he accidentally fell into the river, and was drowned. The body was recovered. An inquest was held on Thursday, Oct 15, when Major EdwardUsher said that deceased ( his brother) was a post- captain in the Royal Navy. On Tuesday evening, Oct 13, he went to Blackheath to see some friends, and he afterwards accompanied witness, who was geing to Dunkirk, to the Sir Robert Peel to see him off. He was subject to giddiness, which would lead a stranger to suppose he was not sober. On that night he was not tipsy, but giddy ; he had taken some wine and spirits. Witness could not say that he was perfectly sober. Witness gave him his hand to assist him over the stage, and before he was well on to the wharf he fell and pulled witness into the water. Everything was done to save him. Verdict— Accidental Death. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH LONDON RAILWAY.— Late on Wednesday evening a police constable named Pearce, in the service of the North London Railway Company, lost his life on the line at Bow, under the following circumstances :— An empty passenger train having to be shunted from the main line into a siding adjacent to the locomotive works, he went and held back the points until the train had passed through them, and then stepped between the metals of the up- line to walk away. At this moment a coal engine was coming up behind him. The driver saw the perilous position of the man, and endeavoured to prevent the fearful consequences, but that instant the unfortunate man was cut down by the engine and killed on the spot. His body was picked up and conveyed to the Bow dead- house. The de- ceased was formerly in the metropolitan police force. He has left a wife and large family. CITY INTELLIGENCE. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS, The minimum rate of discount of the Bank of England remains at 4 per cent, the directors at their meeting on Thursday having deemed it advisable to postpone the expected advance for further consideration. Little doubt is manifested but that another week will witness an upward movement of j per cent in the official charge for mercantile accommodation, and, in evidence that such a course must be pursued, all the discount firms exhibit the usual amount of caution in accepting anything but the best short- dated paper, and for these transactions the full charge of 4 per cent is enforced. Trade throughout the country is showing con- tinued signs of great activity, and, in addition to the money thus being absorbed, speculation in all descriptions of joint stock en- terprise is on the increase. The October dividends are in process of disbursement, and re- investments by the public may conse- quently be looked for in the several Home Government securities. The Funds are, therefore, showing signs of buoyancy, although up to the present time no great amount of business has been transacted. Consols closed yesterday ( Friday) afternoon at 93j for money, and at 93g j for the account. During the past week the operations in the Foreign Stock Mar- ket were again rather extensive, and in some instances the varia- tions in prices were important. Mexican Stock has advanced about If, while Greek Bonds have declined about 4, and the Cou- pons 1 to li- per cent. Spanish Passive Bonds have advanced J, and Sardinian Bonds 1. Turkish Securities generally exhibited more firmness, the Loan of 1854 improved f, ditto ( 1858) j, ditto ( 1862) l, and the Consolides 1 per cent. The operations in the Railway Share Market, during the week were not very extensive, the dealers and speculators being en- gaged with the settlement, upon the completion of which prices exhibited a slight upward movement. Metropolitan, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North Western, and South Western each improved Bristol and Exeter, Caledonian, Brighton, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and South Eastern 1, and Great, Western H per cent. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings remained without material change in values. Bank and Miscellaneous Bhares during the week continued ia fair request, and several of the principal' new undertakings have realised enhanced prices. EXPLOSION AT THE CHARTERED GAS WORKS, WESTMINSTER. — Shortly before eleven o'clock on Thursday morning an explo- sion took place at the Chartered Gas Works, in the Horseferry- road, which it is feared will be attended with fatal consequences. It appears that whilst some workmen were engaged in the yard putting down a new pipe or repairing an old one, a large plug suddenly blew out and allowed the gas to rush out in immense volumes. It was speedily ignited by the coke fire being used at the time by the workmen, and in a moment several of the meu were encircled with flame, their clothes becoming ignited. The gas was turned off as soon as possible, and the fire about the poor fellows extinguished. Mr Pearse and other medical gentlemen attended, but eight or nine of the men were so much burnt that they were ordered at once to be removed to Westminster Hospital, where they still remain in a precarious state. DEATH OF SIR GEORGE BOX HAM, K. C. B.— The late Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Samuel George Bonhain, died on the 8th inst, aged 60 years. The late baronet, who was bom at Faversham, in Kent, in 1803, was descended from the ancient family of Bonham, long seated in Essex. He married, in 1846, the eldest daughter ol Mr Thomas Barnard, late of the Bombay civil service, but her ladyship died in 1859. 8ir George Bonham was for nearly ten years Governor of Prince of Wales's Island, Singapore, and Ma- lacca, and was appointed, in 1847, Governor and Commander- in- Chief of the Island of Hong Kong, and Plenipotentiary and Chief Superintendent of Trade in China, which post he held till De- cember, 1853. He was nominated a C. B. in 1848, a K. C. B, in 1850, and was created a baronet in 1852. Sir George is succeeded by his son George Francis, who was born in 1847.

Horses marked * are in the Derby, f in the Oaks, and J in Leger NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. From the year, now some t wenty- four gone by, when the Grand Duke of Russia gave the prize of 300 sovs, and thereby founded " The Cesarewitch," a prize that first fell to the lot of the Irish mareCruiskeen. beat'ingnine rivals, including thequondam cracks Mickelton Maid and Science— a year noted, too, for the debut of Lord George Bentinck's celebrated filly Crucifix, who carried off the Clearwefl at the meeting referred to, in token of achieving still greater triumphs— from that period until now " the Cesare- witch" has steadily maintained its hold on public favour. The number of acceptances this year was most flattering to the skill and ability of the gallant handicapper, but many of the " eighty- four" subsequently cut up indifferently, and the numerous trials that took place during the week " between the meetings" settled the pretensions of some in favour of others, so that ultimately the field proved somewhat smaller than was originally anticipated > and as a betting race it was anything but a good one, despite the " pull" that many bookmakers were supposed to get by the scratching of Anfield. The most noteworthy effect of the trials a the end of last week was to introduce Summerside into the bet. ting, vice Myrtle retired, and there was quite a furore to get on Mr Ten Broeck's three year old last Saturday, which, however, was not of any very lengthened duration. Lioness and Limosina, on the day in question, were nearly equal favourites, although the former bad the call, and Emblem became almost as good a one as Drummer Boy, while the talent appeared quite unable to separate Blaokdown from his stable companion, Jack of Hearts. Of the others talked about, Romanoff was chiefly in request. There was no unusual rush en the platform at Shoreditch on Bunday morn- ing ; in fact, things looked, if anything, rather quieter than usual for a " Second October," but it was officially reported that many horses had gone down over night; and a similar communi- cation was made at Cambridge respecting the Northern di- vision, Lord Glasgow's lot alone occupying seven boxes, albeit John Scott was but scantily represented. Eain came down heavily during the evening, and comparatively few per- sons paid a visit to the Subscription Boom, although late at night some little wagering took place, for 1.200 to 1,000 was laid agst Lioness, Limosina, and Drummer Boy; 1,000 to 800 was betted on Lioness, Limosina, Drummer Boy, and Emblem, while 12 to 1 to a " century" was booked about Mr Ten Broeck's pair— Bummerside and Silkstone. The list at midnight contained the following Cesarewiteh scratchings:— Anfield, colt by King Tom out of Giraffe, Earl of Surrey, Bellman, Corona, Copenhagen, Faultless, Buckenham, Watchman, Myrtle, Kangaroo, and Villafranca. Many of the Cesarewitch horses went a strong gallop on Monday morning, and of these we ma}' just note that Limosina, who looked light, did not altogether please the cognoscenti, while Lioness had the " lion's share' 1 of admiration. The result of the inspection was made apparent on mustering before proceeding to the Heath, for Lioness came so fierce that all the " fours" to one were speedily snapped up about her, and 7 to 2 only was offered, while Limosina went back to 6 and subsequently to 8 to 1, although she was presently brought back again to the first- named price. The morning turned out warm and sunny after the heavy rain of the previous evening, and the ground, though a little heavy in one or two places, capital going on the whole. The arrivals by the special traia this morning were numerous, without, iiowever, imparting any very great amount of excite- ment to affairs, which still looked tolerably quiet on the whole. Having last week so fully analysed the programme, there is no occasion to allude to the various items composing it, save as they severally came on for decision. The racing to- day, although not quite up to former years, was on the whole very satisfactory, but the interest chiefly centred in the Cesarewitch Course Handicap, which promised to throw some light, as usual. On the more important affair of the morrow. It certainly looked a good thing on paper for Peignoir in the opening Handicap Sweepstakes, over the T. Y. C., for which half a dozen of the nine remaining in went to the post; but he ran a perfect jade, and Walloon running in his " First October" form, for which he was complimented with the top weight, gave him 191b and a neck beating; while Laura, who was backed by her party at 6 to 1, ruptured a blood vessel in the race. The " Fifty Pounds,'' for two year olds, being this year divided into " classes,'' the first of the two was next brought to issue, and nine of the thirteen youngsters put in an appearance. Young Rapid had run for- ward enough upon two or three occasions this season to justify the favouritism awarded him; but although he looked dangerous enough a short distance from home, and going as rapidly as any- thing. he suffered a head defeat by the Duke of Beaufort's speedy and very pretty filly, Crytheia, who was admirably ridden by Judd. The talent were right, however, in the Match, in " potting" Lord Glasgow's clever- looking filly by Toxophilite out of Maid of Masliam— a splendid mover— for she beat Sir Joseph Hawley's moderate Rapidan right cleverly. Light and Tomato were backed for the Second Class Nursery without any regard to the other five starters, for it was looked upon as a mere match between the two, Light having a decided call; but she proved no match to- day for the beautiful daughter of King Tom and Mincemeat, who beat her by a couple of lengths, a performance that led to further inquiries anent Ely for the Derby. Neither did the lead- ing favourite for the next event, the T. Y. C. Handicap Sweep- stakes, fare any better than in the last, for the light- weighted Privateer finished nowhere; while Attraction, one of Lord" Has- tings's lucky purchases, the worst favourite of the lot by far, having to carry 161b more than the " selected one,'' defeated Water Kelpie cleverly, giving her 21b and the year, while to War- horse she was giving- 51b and the year. Tomfoolery received forfeit in her match from Ostentation, but Yamuna was started to oppose Linda for the Half- Mile Sweepstakes of 300 sovs each, although the latter was in the receipt of 31b allowance. It was of course, under the circumstances, any odds on the latter, and commen- cing at 6 and 7 to 4 on her, they speedily reached 10 to 1, and, having it all her own way, she won in a canter. The Handicap Sweepstakes, over the Cesarewitch Course, and a match were now alone left for decision, ani a dozen started to do battle for " the trial race,'' Gibraltar, on account of the rare form displayed of late, being elevated to the premiership. It was reduced to a match at the finish between the favourite and Bally Edmond, and the latter, who was backed by his owner for a " monkey," proved too muc'h for Gibraltar, who, conceding 91b to his comparatively fresh opponent, tired to nothing at the finish— and no great won- der, perhaps, seeing that not only had he run two long races the previous week, but had since been employed in tryingCaptain Crow for the Cesarewitch. Just noting that the match between Confi- dence, 8st 101b, and Southport, 8st, 41b, for which the former was slightly the favourite, resulted in his favour after a vigorous set- to, we'must briefly revert to the effect of the " trial race'' just alluded to on the Cesarewitch itself. There was nothing in it to affect the position of Lioness, while Limosina, who after fluctuating between 6 and 7 to 1 came to 5 to 1, again receded to 6 to 1 ( offered) after the defeat of Dulcibella; neither had the said defeat any very beneficial effect on Drummer Boy, while on the contrary the victory of Bally Edmond advanced both Jack ef Hearts' and Blackdown to 15 to 1: Bally, as it was re- ported, having been in a trial with the former, while the adhe- rents of Blackdown still adhered to their notion that he would prove superior to Jack of Hearts in the race. After the very indif- ferent figure cut by both Tornado and Myrtle, their stable com- panion, Summerside, went away to offers of 20 to 1; theonly other especial feature in the betting on the course was the coming of Harlequin, who was in some request at 40 to 1. The further movements are recorded below. A HANDICAP of 20 sovs each, 5 ft if declared, for three year olds and upwards; the second received the forfeits; T. Y. C.

Walloon and Canace repeatedly whipping round delayed the start nearly fifteen minutes, alter which the favourite went away with the lead, followed by Canace, Walloon, and Zelle to the cor< is, where the old one challenged Mr Ten Broeck's horse, and defeated him cleverly by a neck. Canace, a length from the second, finished thrice as far in front of Zelle, while., of the other two, beaten off, Laura cantered in a long way last, having ruptured a blood vessel soon after starting.

An excellent start was followed by London and Templar alternately showing in command for a quarter of a mile, when the favourite took up the running. Immediately in his wake were Sir Joseph's colt, Crytheia, London, and No Name, all coming on side by side to within fifty yards of home, whence the race was confined to the placed horses, of whom Caryophyllus was beaten half- way in the cords, while Crytheia, catching Young Rapid in the last' stride, defeated him by a head ; two lengths divided second and third, with rather more than that interval be- tween tke latter and the Young Melbourne filly, who was fourth ; No Name, London, and Lucky Star next.

A slight lead was taken by Roodee the instant the flag fell, waited on left and right by Elgiva and the favourite, Tomato biding her time a length behind them. In this way they ran to the cords, where the leader was beaten, upon which Tomato went up to Light, di posed of her in a few strides, and won in a carter by two lengths. The Flutter colt, passingtwo or three atthe finish, ran home third, but separated at least half a dozen lengths from the second, all, indeed, being so widely scattered that the judge had no difficulty in placing the lot.

The running was made by Walter Kelpie on the left, followed by Dolphin, Canace, and Warhorse together in the centre of the course, AttraetioH and the favourite going en at their heels. These positions were maintained to the dip, when the Marquis's filly joined in front, deprived Walter Kelpie of the lead in the last dozen strides, and won by half a length; Canace beaten three quarters of a length for second. At a clear interval Dolphin was fourth, Warhorse and Privateer next, the succeeding division being headed by Oscar, with the Bay Celia filly bringing up the rear. Run in lmin 19sec.

There were two failures, but at last, when the flag was lowered, they got away in tolerable order, Villette making play for a short distance, after which the ruuning was taken up by Little Dick, who, in passing the gap, had a commanding lead over Gorse, Myrtle, and the light weight, his immediate followers. At the head of the second division, on the extreme right, was Dulcibella, about level with whom in the centre were Gibraltar, Paste, Bally Edmond, and Fitz- Eva, the far left being occupied by Tornado, who, on turning for the flat, got on even terms with the forward horses. Of the latter Little Dick and Myrtle compounded near the Abingdon Mile Post, leaving Dulcibella'in advance to the commencement of the T. Y. C. course, where Bally Edmond took his colours to the fore. The lot thence lying up with him comprised the favourite, Tornade, Gorse. and Lord Stamford's mare, all of whom, however, save Gibraltar, were fairly run to a stand- still at the Bushes. The race, thus reduced to a match, became none the less exciting, as the favourite gamely struggling on reached the shoul- ders of Mr Thellussoa's horse in breasting the final ascent, but tired to nothing in the concluding fifty yards, and Bally Edmond ran home an easy winner by four lengths. At nearly thrice that interval Dulcibella was third, with Gorse at her side; Tor- nado being fifth, clear of them, succeeded by Myrtle, Little Dick, Villette, and Paste, all pulling up, but twenty lengths ahead of Fitz- Eva, a long way in whose wake Tattoo trotted in with Black Prince last of all.

The afternoon and evening trains brought their usual quota to the town, but the speculation that took place in front of the Rooms prior to the usual dinner hour did not exhibit any im- portant movement, if we except the growing fondness shown for Lioness and Emblem, while Limosina, consequent on Dul- cibella's running, was somewhat in the shade when specula- tors left the scene of their labours for a time. At an earlier hoar than usual subscribers began to assemble in large numbers, the High- street, in front of the Jockey Club Rooms, being numerously thronged by the general public; the room also, as the evening drew on, was oppres- sively filled by those most eager to avail themselves of the opportunity to adjust their ledgers. The suffocating heat from the overcrowded state of the room was so great indeed that many were compelled to leave and seek a purer atmosphere in the street. From the Babel of tongues, and the noisy endeavours of the most energetic of the bookmakers, it would have appeared to a dis- interested spectator that the volcano of speculation had burst forth afresh, and that its lava was running uncontrolled, but this was not the case, for we scarcely remember for many years the betting in reality being so " deadly- lively." Lioness was in great force, and at last 10 to 3 was the highest offer against her. Limosina fluctuated for a brief period, but towards the close of the betting she became in much better odour, and 6 to 1 was kindly accepted about her. Drummer Boy did not look quite so buoyant as in the morning, 9 to 1 being re- peatedly offered w'ithout meeting with any support from the followers of the primrose jacket and cherry cap. Emblem also receded in favour half a point; while Jack of Hearts, under the prestige of the sucee33 of Bally Edmond and the confidence of his party, superseded his stable companion in favour, 100 to 7 being noted down with great avidity to win some thousands. This movement had the effect of sending back Blackdown to 20 to 1, but later in the evening he found support, and left off ex- tremely firm at 100 to 6. Summerside met with a stream of opposition, which had the effect of speedily driving her back to 25 to I, at which price Romanoff and Fantail nominally remained. The outside division were most industriously can- vassed, but, with the exception of Harlequin and Blithfield, little or nothing was done. The Cambridgeshire, from the engrossing attraction centred in the long race of the morrow, was scarcely touched upon beyond the investments made upon Gemma, Grande Dame, Roman Bee, and Comet.

TUESDAY.— THE CESAREWITCH DAY. If matters at the commencement of the meeting did not impress one with the notion of extreme briskness, the aspect of " affairs in general'' to- day certainly was all the other way, for from an early hour the High- street was in a state of commotion, and, as the morning wore on, the crowd became almost as dense as at Chester on the Cup Day, whilst the report, subsequently circu- lated, that the Prince of Wales and his brother- in- law, the King of Greece, were to be spectators of the great race, did not diminish the excitement. No material change in the overnight quotations took place before moving onwards to the Course, save the coming of Drummer Boy to a shorter price and the decline of Limosina, Lioness being still all the rage; and as the first race was set for twenty minutes past twelve, the movement, as a matter of course, was a pretty early one. Those only who have visited Newmarket both on fine and wet days can fully realise the difference. The one is all fresh, healthy, and invigorating, as the light breeze sweeps over the expansive heath; the other all dreary, uncom- fortable, and dispiriting to a degree, for there is no more shelter or protection from the weather here than a vessel in distress ex- periences in the Bay of Biscay. To- day promised nothing but discomfort as far as the weather was concerned, for the rain began to come down soon after leaving the town, and presently descended in earnest, although it had no perceptible effect on the attendance, which was very numerous. The Royal Stakes resolved itself into a match between Coluinba and Barter, and after a little chopping and changing, Sir Joseph's filly settled down the better favourite, and running the longest, she beat her opponent very cleverly by half a length. This not over- interesting matter decided, attention was next directed to the Handicap Sweepstakes, Abingdon Mile, for which Kingswood only of the entered nine had paid forfeit, and the re- mainder, of whom Humphrey was most fancied at the fall of the flag, were all starters. The race, however, proved an easy affair for . Merry Maid, who won so easily over about the same distance at the last meeting week, when, as on the present occasion, she had by far the best of the weights, although, being beaten a head by Lady Louisa on the following Friday, when receiving 451b from her over the T. Y. C., she was so little fancied to- day that as much as 6 to 1 was betted against her. The Town Plate, like the two events preceding it, was a matter of small importance, and Equinox was rightly esteemed the best of a moderate lot after her game running at Bedford last week, for, by a very clever neck, she pulled through from Petersham over the Two Middle Miles. Garotter having paid forfeit in his match with Lord Burleigh, an interval of an hour was afforded for further speculation on " the Cesarewitch,'' which stood next in order OK the card, being ap- pointed for half- past two. A few minutes after the Town Plate had been decided, and while the notice was yet displayed in the ring that " Garotter pays forfeit,'' the royal party, consisting of the King of the Greeks, the Prince of Wales, Prince Christian of Denmark, and Prince Frederick, attended by Baron Guldencrone, Lieutenant Funck, Captain Grey, Captain Lund, and Captain Castenschjold, arrived on the Heath just as a drizzling rain was descendiag. The intention of the royal party to visit New- market had been communicated to Mr Charles Bottom, of the White Hart Hotel, on the previous evening, with in- structions to provide the necessary accommodation for their saddle- horses and conveyance from the station, whither they arrived by special train; but Mr Bottom rightly judging that the most judicious course was to keep the matter quiet, and thereby prevent any noisy demonstration, acted accord- ingly, and the illustrious visitors reached the Heath almost unrecognised, and a quiet ride across the same, despite the driz- zling rain already alluded to, must have proved a perfect godsend to them after being so relentlessly " mobbed'" by goodnatured though injudicious crowds elsewhere, Proceeding across the Heath wide of the " ring" the royal party reached the Ditch stables, and were evidently much interested in the various compe- titors now being saddled for the Cesarewitch race. Changing the scene to the inclosure we must next glance at the state of affairs there as the numbers of the twenty- four starters were finally dis- played on the telegraph board. The list of scratchings up to twelve o'clock the previous evening comprised among others that had flourished in the quotations the names of Anfield, Catch ' em Alive, Oakapple, Myrtle, Buckenham, Melandra, Hurricane, Tha- lestris, Faultless, Watchman, and one or two others that had either been backed in earnest, " nibbled at," or " put up" from time to time; but of the seven and twenty " coloured" on the card theonly one that proved a non- starter that had been really in the wagering was Twilight. As in the town during the morn- ing, Lioness was in immense force, and Drummer Boy came a " rattler" to 4 to 1, while Lord Coventry's pair— Emblem at 8 to 1, and Umpire at four points more— were both steadily supported, the followers of the stable being determined to be on the " right one." Limosina, on the other hand, as already intimated, was in much disfavour, for the mare had betrayed symptoms the pre- vious sight which, although not uncommon, are anything but en- couraging to backers just before a race, and after 10 to 1 had been laid, as much as 12 to 1 was offered " at the cords.'" Jack of Hearts was steadily supported at 14 to 1, as his stable companion Blackdown was at prices ranging from 100 to 6 to 20 to 1. There was a wide gap, however, between this lot and the suc- ceeding quotation— 33 to 1— and the only animal that had been promoted from the extreme outside rank to the next division was Real Jam, who was invested on at 40 and 35 to 1, while Cock Robin, who had been put up rather industriously the previous evening, retired into obscurity again. As the horses cantered on their way to the starting- post, the weather of a sudden underwent a favourable change, and in place of drizzling rain, the sun burst forth in all its autumnal glory, while the shadows of the clouds rolled away over the bosom of the broad and prairie- like expanse. At this instant the scene was worthy the pencil of a Frith, as vehicles and horsemen came sweeping on in a mass, taking up their positions along the cords down to the Bushes, and the royal visitors, conducted by Admiral Rous, made their appearance on the roof of the Jockey Club Stand, the Prince, who looked remarkably well, exchanging cordial greetings with several mem- bers of the Jockey Club. In a few minutes down went the white flag in the distance, and away the lot were soon afterwards seen streaming through " Choke Jade" prior to entering the " flat." Like the trial race of the previous day the race was finally reduced to a match between Lioness and Limosiria ; there being about the same difference of weight between the foremost two to- day as between the pair left to fight it out in the race of yesterday. Limosina ran a good andhonest. mare, and H. Grimshaw never rode a better race in his life, but the odds, at the weights, were dead against Lord Stamford's mare, and in favour of Lioness, and the latter landed Mr Merry's colours with the most consummate ease by three quarters of a length, while Jack of Hearts saved his " place" backers. Drummer Boy, like Umpire, ran tolerably forward to about half way down the Bushes Hill, while Emblem, the next best favourite, finished up sides with the " Boy," in the wake of Blithfield and Black- down. Thus it will be seen that, with the exception of Umpire, all the leading horses in the betting finished forward, although after the " placed horses" they were divided by the outsider Blith- field ; but Real Jam, whom many thought might drop as it were from the clouds, and turn the tables upon everything, was clean out of it more than half a mile from home, despite the dose ad- ministered to her in the shape of a potent dose of strong beer and whiskey by way of screwing her courage up ! The winner is a remarkably clever- looking mare, about 15 hands 3 inches in height, of great length and substance, and very wiry. She has good arms, thighs, and shoulders, well set on, and although she is hot big in bone, she appears to have a di al of wear and tear about her, and as Limosina ran so remarkably game throughout, giving away 101b to the winner, Lord Stamford s chance of winning the Cam- bridgeshire at least appears to be a very rosy one. The result is suggestive of the delectable task imposed upon handicappers now- a- daysby " clever'' tacticians. The previous public performances of Lioness had been wretched in the extreme, for running only once as a three year old she finished last but one for the Yorkshire Oaks; while at Reading, only some two months ago, when giving Golden Dust only 91b, and Fontenoy 81b for the year, she ran a bad third to the pair over a mile and a half for the Easthamp- sted Park Stakes ! And so it was that on the presumption that this wretched plating form was her true one, she was han- dicapped at 6st 81b, thereby receiving considerable weight from both three year olds and others, to whom she was fully competent to' give at least a stone and a beating! As soon as " the Cesarewitch'' was decided, the Prince of Wales and his party quitted the Stand, and after inspecting the win- ner, who was led back for that purpose by Martin Starling, remounted their horses and cantered away to a more remote part of the Heath to inhale the health- giving breeze, and enjoy thescene at a distance, prior to returning to town. The visit was exceedingly graceful on the part of the prince, who thus introduced his royal re- latives to the same spot on which he first made his acquaintance with the English Turf, whilst in residence at Cambridge. And truly great as is the scene at Epsom on a Derby Day, lovely as it is at Ascot, or gorgeous as it is at Goodwood, " racing," to be seen in perfection, must be witnessed at Newmarket. The remainder of the day's sport may be summarily dismissed. Norroy a " leathering" looking colt, with somewhat " dickey" un- derstandings, was made the favourite for the Selling Handicap Sweepstakes, which he won easily. The Clearwell Stakes, which was contested by a somewhat moderate lot, was carried off by the 31b penalised Crisis, a neat, bloodlike, though rather small daughter of Saunterer, who defeated the more fancied Planet by a neck, and thus for the second time to- day was the yellow jacket in the ascendant. The Forlorn Hope Stakes proved very forlorn indeed, for Mr Ten Broeck's Canzonette was not on the ground, and as the other three were in Goddirg's stable the race became void. A move was next made to the " top," the conclud- ing Sweepstakes being run over the Rutland Stakes Course. Fa- vouritismwas divided between Juliet and brother to Dreadnought, and the old mare getting all the best of an indifferent start won easily, and was claimed by Mr W. Day, although she was subse- quently given up, while Mr Day's colt was claimed by " Mr Joice." Immediately after the fcesarewitch 6 to 1 was booked about Limosina for the Cambridgeshire, but the mare receded a point in the front of the rooms after leaving the course when her stable companion Gemma was introduced, and both Catch ' em Alive and Despair were in request. With regard to the Cesarewitch, we may state that the winner was a bad horse for the Ring, the " British " public, who are rather apt to follow the yellow jacket of Mr Merry, as a rule, having faith- fully adhered to her and " backed their opinion.'' Mr Merry throws in for a good stake— about £ 15.000, we believe— and Mr F. Swindells, among other gentlemen, also pulls off a good round sum. Before bringing our remarks on the Cesarewitch day to a close, we must note that on returning from the course the town presented quite a gala appearance, many of the houses in the High- street being hung with flags in honour of the royal visit ; and we may further note that the royal special was accompanied on the down and up journey by Mr Sprowle and Mr James Scott, of the super- intendent department; and under the special care of these gentle- men the journey to town was most efficiently performed. The royal dinner party in the evening at Buckingham House con- sisted of the King of the Greeks, the Prince and Princess of Wales the Prince and Princess Christian of Denmark, the Duke of Cambridge, Prince Frederick, and the Princess Dagmar of Denmark.

Merry Maid showed in advance, succeeded by Gunner and Humphrey, who, however, was about the first beaten, and his place taken by ActEeon and Tourist to a couple of distances from home, when the latter was also in difficulties, while Merry Maid, coming away at the cords, won in a canter by six lengt hs over Lord Portsmouth's colt, who finished slightly in front of Acta> on, three or four lengths from whom Bertha was fourth, and Humphrey next.

THE RACE. A match on the card, ending in forfeit, left more than an hour's interval between the Town Plate and the ail- important event of the week, the two dozen competitors for which were saddled and . at the post long before the appointed time, half- past two o'clock; the good fortune recently attending Mr M'George's despatch of large fields again befriending him, when, exactly four and a half minutes later, the flag at the third attempt was dropped to a mag- nificent start. In a few strides Jack of Hearts was ob- served in advance, accompanied some two hundred yards by Emblem and Romanoff, when Real Jam, with a lead of at least three lengths, took up the ruuning. Most pro- minent in her wake, besides the trio first mentioned, were Blithfield, Fantail, Cock Robin, and Sandford, the favourite and Limosina lying to the right of them, Agag, Drummer Boy, Summerside, and Umpire also holding forward positions at the other extreme of the rank, while, lengths behind everything and unable to live the pace, Carisbrook, Harlequin, and Wingrave brought up the rear. Speed, too, telling upon others, including Sandford, considerably lengthened the tail ere three quarters of a mile had been traversed, the next cutting it being Agag, who, it will be remembered, ran similarly unkind last year," unheeding then as now a free application of whipcord. With these excep- tions and the joining in front of Blackdown and Benjamin, just before turning for the flat, all proceeded smoothly until fairly en- tering the latter, when the pace slightly diminished, and Romanoff dropped into the ruck, to which Cock Robin also retired soon afterwards. Streaming on, the flight in the van became further reduced by Blondin dying away, and subsequently, in rising the Bushes Hill, by the leader, Real Jam, compounding, simulta- neously with Summerside and Fantail. Umpire, thus left in command, was attended by Drummer Boy on the lower ground, those coming on in the centre with them being Blithfield, Jack of Hearts, Blackdown, and Emblem, the latter gamely struggling on, with the two cracks on her whip hand, of whom Lioness pulled to the fore directly the brow of the ascent referred to was gained. In an instant after Lord Coventry's horse, at aboutthe spot he suddenly closed accounts last year, put back his ears, and defying all Adams's persuasion to keep him at work, was not in the race afterwards. Drummer Boy, looking formidable, was next disposed of in descending into the Abingdon Mile Bottom, leaving which we may at once state the issue was confined to the favourite, in advance, and Lord Stamford's mare, whose clever handling by Grimshaw half way up brought her, for a stride or two, nearly level with her full of running opponent. But the latter, with pounds in hand, immediately dispelled the smallest misgiving as to the result, and ran home the easiest of winners by three- quarters of a length ; contrasting wonderfully with her Reading exhibition, on account of which she was lite- i rally turned loose to- day. Jack of Hearts proving the best of Drewett's two at the weight finished third, three lengths from the second, with the same advantage over the outsider Blithfield, close up with whom Blackdown was fifth. Clear of this pair Drummer Boy and Emblem were next, side by side, fol- lowed by Benjamin and Wingrave, the latter having passed a lot ; of the beaten horses. Summerside, Fantail, Blondin, and Real I Jam headed the succeeding division, consisting of Chere Amie, ; Umpire, Silkstone, Captain Crow, Harlequin, Agag, and Sand- ford, the last three being Carisbrook, Change, and Romanoff.

She, however, as speedily beat a retreat, and Prince Lee Boo resumed the command, attended by Country Maid, Norroy, Leotard and Achilles to the cords, where the favourite made his'effort, obtained thelead, and won easily by three lengths.

In fact, with the exception of Knight of Snowden being a trifle in advance, the lot preserved an unbroken line to the cords, where Crisis rushed to the front, directly after which Goater called upon Planet, but failed in a game effort to reach Mr Merry's filly, and was defeated by a neck; two lengths off Knight of Snowden was third, about half a length in front of Wandering Minstrel, running by himself on the left; New York and Beatrix were fifth and sixth, the three last being Esperance, the Senorita colt, and Bonus.

The excitement attending the result of the Cesarewitch having somewhat subsided, members assembled rather earlier than usual, the room shortly after nine being crowded by those anxious to speculate upon the remaining big handicap to be decided here. The success of Lioness had evidently inflicted a heavy blow on the members of the Ring, who appeared most anxious to reclaim their losses by increased attention to the Cambridgeshire, but the winners were ex- tremely cautious in their investments, having clearly the old adage before them, " a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," and, in consequence, matters proceeded slowly until near the close, when some spirit was thrown into the trans- actions by offers to back Limosina, Exchequer, and Birdhill. The former was not so firm in the market as the betting indicated before dinner, 8 to 1 being freely offered against her. Exchequer was in great demand, but layers were shy, and resolutely re- fused to advance half a point over the quoted price, which was readily accepted about Birdhill. Borealis and Bathllde were inquired after, 20 to 1 being noted down to money about each, and at five points ever those odds Gemma was backed very freely. Despair also had a host of friends, who stood out for their price, but bookmakers resolutely refused to lay anything over 25 to 1. Jack of Hearts and Cairncastle were the only animals in the out- side division that met with any support, the former apparently having a strong party behind him. Grande Dame andCantonnade, the French representatives, were again introduced, their quoted odds being readily accepted by those entrusted with the com- mission. 4 to 1 was taken several times about Lord Stamford's lot.

WEDNESDAY,— A good deal of settling was got through in the course of the morning, although there was little superfluous time on hand, seeing that the raoeawer s. et to commence at twelve o'clock, before w •<— attersall had gone through the catalogue of blood stock, though, as it will be seen elsewhere, only two lots were sold, and the once much- talked- of Old Calabar was sent back " to the place from whence he came.'' The morning was deliciously fine, and matters, now the all- important, event was numbered with the things of the past, again assumed a comparatively quiet aspect, and a not over interesting list of sport commenced tamely enough with the Beaufort Stakes, which was reduced to a match with two very moderate animals' Water Kelpie and Curacao, and the former, on whom 7 to 4 wa3 laid, beat her opponent, who went exceedingly " dotty," in a canter. Much longer odds were betted on Donnybrook in the Sweepstakes across the flat, his solitary opponent, after the withdrawal of Lady Louisa, being Anonyma. The " pottering" pace, however, suited the mare, and Aldcroft, with one of his brilliant finishes, landed the non- favourite by three quarters of a length, much to the chagrin of the Donnybrook party, who had backed their horse heavily. The Maiden Plate, for two year olds— far which Eleanor ( by Gemma di Vergy) was most fancied— was carried off by a small but useful colt by Vedette out of Voucher, beating the favourite and eight others, for the most part of very moderate pretensions, whereon the winner was claimed by the owner of the favourite, as the latter was by the owner of Lady Milton. The betting on the Handicap Sweepstakes, next brought to issue, was very varia- ble, but at the finish the Plush colt was if anything a trifle better favourite than Blight; the only two " unbacked" ones of the half dozen starters being Elgiva and Arcadian, who finished at " the tail of affairs,'' as the Plush colt, a strong- looking animal, did at the head of them. Lord Glasgow's filly by Young Mel- bourne proved much too good for Mr Greville's Bradamante in the match over the T. Y. C., while Mr Brayley's Golden Dust de- feated Rosina, who had slightly the call at the finish, and seven others, including the top- weighted pair, Twilight and Walloon, who were backed, " coupled," at 3 tol. The light weight, Vin- dictive, was restive at the post, ran away with her jockey, and did not start. The T. Y. C. Sweepstakes fell to the lot of the strongly- fancied Ostentation, who, with 6 to 4 on her, landed the Duke of St Albans's colours half a, length from Flaneur; and Goldylocks. sold out of John Scott's stable after her indifferent display at Good- wood for a mere bagatelle, having nothing better to beat, won " hands down" from Annington and Antinous, who alone were opposed to her in the Bedford Stakes. The Oatlands Plate, over the Cambridgeshire Course, was not destined to throw any ad- ditional light upon or impart any additional interest to " the Cambridgeshire" itself, although it was interesting enough from the spirited manner in which both Donnybrook and Kingswood were supported, the backers of the former evidently being bent on getting at least a portion of the money back they had dropped on the horse in his race with Anonyma. In this they were not disap- pointed, for, reversing the tactics adopted in the event just alluded to, Donnybrook fairly chopped his opponents down, and can- tered in ten lengths in advance of Cheerful. With the remem- brance of Linda's easy defeat at the last meeting by Union Jack, and on the presumption that the hill would again stall her off with her 51b penalty, a slight favouritism was awarded to Lord Stamford's Alpheus, but the latter proved no " Union Jack," and Linda defeated him by an easy length at the finish. Nothing facing the Two Thousand and Derby winner for the Select Stakes, he cantered over for the forfeits just prior to the Bedford Stakes, and Knowsley having received from Wingrave in their match, the victory of Linda brought the day's racing to a close. The Cam- bridgeshire betting on the course, and " up to six o'clock," was marked by the coming of Limosina from 7 to 1 to 6 to 1, taken freely, while Catch ' em Alive, Exchequer, Birdhill, Bathilde, Jack of Hearts, and Despair, were very firm. Carnival, too, who had been tried during the afternoon, came from 66 to 1 to 25 to 1, thereby driving Anfield— who had been backed at 30 to 1— to 40 to 1. The list up to the time specified is otherwise chiefly made up from " offers."

At a clear interval Flaneur was fourth, followed by Sea Boy and others packed together ; Flutter last. The winner was claimed by Captain Goff, and Mr Gunnell claimed Eleanor. Run in lmin 19sec.

Half an hour was lost at the post, mainly through the fractiousness of Vindictive, who twice broke away, the last time overpowering her tiny rider, and taking a two- mile gallop, when it was determined to start the others without her. Airedale and Rosebud, first off, were succeeded on the left by Golden Dust and the favourite, with Stockowner and the two old ones in the centre, the Gentle Kitty colt by himself on the right of them. They ran thus for about a quarter of a mile, after which Rosina showed in front, and maintained the command to within a hundred yards of the post, when she was headed by Golden Dust, who beat her, after a fine struggle, by half a length. Twi- light was third, a length off, twice as far in front of Airedale and Rosebud, side by side, the Bretby colt finishing sixth, Walloon last. Run in lmin 18sec.

However, in rising the hill for the rails, Donnybrook came to the fore, and the race was over; seeing that from the point last- named he had it all his own way, and increasing his advantage at every stride, won in a canter by ten lengths.

Judging from appearances, many of those present this evening had been enjoying the society of their friends at a festive meeting in another place, their " after dinner speeches" giving strong evidence of having indulged to the " top of their bent." Business in consequence was for some time completely at a stand- still, as the fun ran fastand furious, which was somewhat increased by a gallant captain offering to lay 500 to 15 that he ran a mile without stopping, which was immediately accepted by a well- known bookmaker as keen as S eel, with an understanding that the task should be performed there and then. Fortunately this piece of badinage ( for such it turned out by compromise) drew away the noisy elements, and the room once again assumed its quiet tone, which afforded to those who came to speculate an opportunity of so doing without molestation, but for some time the backers were shy, their fancies apparently having but circumscribed range, and it was not till later in the evening that anything like a spirit was observable in the transactions. Limo sina was exceedingly firm at her opening price, and at last they resolutely refused to lay a fraction beyond the odds quoted. The mysterious Catch ' em was also in great demand, the general im- pression being that the Cambridgeshire will be his journey, and from the anxiety evinced to get on, he bids fair to become one of Mr Day's warm favourites. 100 to 6 was laid respectively about Exchequer, Birdhill, and Bathilde, the former having the lion's share of patronage. Lord Chesterfield's mare was also in request, and she will, no doubt, become a better favourite. Gemma, at 25 to 1, was in great force, at which price Despair and Jack o' Hearts were supported for good money. Cairncastle did not give evidence of improving his position in the market, his opening price being freely offered at the close. Hubert, from the out- side division, was the only one in request, a noble lord favouring him with his patronage at 2,000 to 50. Anfield appeared out of fashion, all sorts of offers being made about him. The others enumerated in our somewhat lengthy list were only backed for nominal sums. Blue Mantle, we may add, would have met with liberal support, but his would- be backer stood out for fractions.

The opening item, the Sweepstakes of 500 sovs j each, 200 ft, like the opening event of the preceding day, was re- ! duced to a match, the competitors being Onesander and Light j Bob, the latter receiving the 71b " maiden allowance.'' Lord j Stamford's colt was, however, made the favourite at long odds, \ and won easily; for although Lord Glasgow's horse is good looking enough in some respects, his suspicious understandings prevent bis trainer getting him into condition. Of the eighteen entered for the Handicap Plate, across the flat, eleven appeared at the post, and Revolver, who was made the favourite, ! pulled through from Mr Watt's four year old Birthday filly, who looked dangerous enough in the race, but swerved all over the course at last, and pulled up very lame. The ( First Class) Free Handicap with seven subscribers attracted five runners, and was very freely speculated upon, every horse being in the betting, I Welland, with 8st 121b on his back, being principally fancied. { He did not, however, run up to his true form, and Mr | Watt's colours were this time successful, for Newmarket, a very good- looking son of Newminster, and a very fine mover, won very easily. Attraction, at a difference of 101b for the year, very gamely defeated Liston, on whom , slight odds were laid, in their match, while Ostentation \ again displayed her prowess by beating the fancied Norroy and Gallus, and four others, including one or two that were not fancied at last, one of wham— East Sheen— was subsequently claimed by j the Marquis of Hastings. Norroy, who opened the first favourite, and ran second to the winner, was, while in Baron Rothschild's stable, thought very highly of, but breaking down, his trainer was compelled to cast him aside. Wild Huntress, the winner of the Barons' Stakes at Egham, was all the rage for the ensuing Two Year Old Sweepstakes, being backed by her party for heaps of money, but to- day she only illustrated'her name by driving the others before her, for she was the first beaten, and Antoinette, with Sam Rogers up, won right easily. The winner, a very pretty- looking, useful filly, was claimed at the First October Meeting for Mr Lowther. Dolphin, with 7 to 4 arid 2 to 1 on him, pulled off the T. Y. C. Sweepstakes, next on the card, beating three others, and was thereon claimed by " the infant," who ran second with Rosebud. The match between Lord Glasgow's colt by Toxo- philite out of Miss Sarah and Mr Ten Broeck's Echo, last half of the Abingdon Mile, was a most exciting and speculative affair, and although the latter had the best of it half way up the distance, Aldcroft just managed to land his lordship's colours on the post by a short head, Echo having changed his legs a few strides from home, which led to his defeat. The winner is a smart- looking colt, and will yet be heard of to advantage. The Bretby Stakes brought out Isca, the stable companion of Ely, again, five others only— and those very moderate— of the entered dozen starting in company with her. 5 to 4 was betted against Mr Cartwright's daughter of Ethelbert, who is a smart racing- looking filly enough, but she only just managed to win by a neck from Sister to Mincepie. The concluding race of the day, a Plate of £ 50, Rowley Mile, brought out eight runners, and was carried off in a canter by Miss Armstrong, thus proving Watson's stable to be in form, the " harlequin jacket" having already finished once in the fore to- day, besides running second after a mishap in another race. The wretched state of the weather acted as a " wet blanket" on speculation, the only feature on the Heath in connec tion with the Cambridgeshire being the decline of Gemma to 50 to 1. Little else was talked about save the " running matches," which are fully reported in another column.

Revolver and Villette raced for the lead during the first hundred yards, after which the Birnhday filly rushed to the front, followed by Little Dick, Lord Stamford's colt, Equinox, and Canzonette, the re- mainder being tolerably well up with them for half a mile, when General Hesse, Oberon, and Villette dropped astern, the latter having ruu out to the ripht. The Birthday filly also bolting to the left soon after passing the Bushes again placed Revolver in command, which he retained to the end, and won easily by three lengths.

They ran in this order to the cords, where the favourite fell back, after which the race was reduced to a match with Norroy and the Duke's filly, the former holding his own to within eigkt or ten strides of the chair, where the young one ob- tained the best of it, and won cleverly by half a length; bad third, Benjamin being fourth, East Sheen fifth, Confidence sixth, Gallus last.

THE SUBSCRIPTION ROOM AT NIGHT. The room was almost deserted till long past ten o'clock, when subscribers began to drop in, but speculation, as if by general consent, was almost abandoned, for up to the closing of the room not a dozen bets were made, and those only to small amounts. Limosina and Catch ' em Alive were the only animals in request for the Cambridgeshire, especially the latter, his friends being most anxious to get on, but the lay ers exhibited a great disin- clination to be caught.

Business did not commence as early as is usual on " last days" at Newmarket, owing doubtless to the pedestrian match fixed for ten o'clock the morning, which created no little excitement; and the. WF ^ event being a walk over, operations did not actually menoe until half- past twelve, a match between two platers—" which was a very near thing in the betting as well as the race— preceding the more important one between the four- year- old Clarissimus and the three year old Carnival. The latter giving his year away, it was considered a fine touch at first; but the talent were on the young one to a man, and he never gave them the slightest uneasiness, as he beat his oppo- nent with far greater ease than he did Johnny Armstrong when receiving weight for the year at Doncaster, which says not a little for the latter's form. The result served to make Carnival a better favourite for the Cambridgeshire, 100 to 6 being taken freely about him once, although he left off very unsteady, rumours being rife that " the money was not on.'' A rich T. Y. C. Sweepstakes was booked such a " moral" for Becky Sharpe, that the gentlemen plunged on her, in ignorance of the fact of her not being up to concert pitch. A few of the clever division " in the know" stood Lord Annesley's Sister to Sweetsauce in preference; but both parties were upset by Privateer, whose form had hitherto been so moderate, that in many cases 5 to 1 was laid against him, small as was the field. A T. Y. C. Handicap, with ten acceptances, brought seven of them to the post, and the feathered Jenny Wren was made a very hot favourite, as little as 5 to 4 being taken once; but she declined to 2 to 1 on money being put rather confidently on Stock- owner and Twilight, the latter of whom came very hot at last, and left offal most as good a favourite for money as the light weight, who cut up badly, the old mare showing she had lost none of her speed by winning very easily. The Little Savage and Agra colt match coming to nothing, there was nearly an hour's " wait'' for the next contest, and the opportunity was embraced " to talk about" Lord Glasgow's lot for the Derby ; but little actual business was done. The Physalis colt was backed at 2 to 1 against his nine op- ponents, for the event of the day, the rich Prendergast Stakes, on which there was some very heavy betting. Three of the ten com- petitors had run in the Clearwell on Tuesday, and among them was the second to Crisis, Planet, who was beaten exactly the BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, OCTOBER 10, 1863. same distance to day by the Physalis colt, which said so little for the latter that 50 to 1 was freely offered against him afterwards for the Derby, his admirers standing out for 1,000 to 15. The Trench colt, Sonchamp, was third, somewhat further behind Planet than on Tuesday, and this looks like an improvement in Mr Craven's colt; but the Plush colt was so close up, that the form looks little more than moderate. In the T. Y. C. Sweep- stakes Garotter's party stood him once more, and yet, moderate as was the company, he figured ingloriously as ever, running ab- solutely last to Lord Adolphus, who improved on his yesterday's performance in a similar race ( where he lost start) by running home a clever winner. A two and three year old Handicap Sweep- stakes brought out the largest field of the day, only three of the seventeen entered declining to face the starter, and a fine race re- sulted between Cassidia and Practitioner, the judge's fiat being a head only in favour of the three year old, who was giving the Fin don colt 221b for the year, and thus displayed something like her old form. The Fifty Pounds were booked a certainty for Tornado, and even bets were laid that she ran home first, and The Gunner second, which were only landed by the latter snatching second place from Petersham in the last stride or two. There were to have been four starters, but Quicksand having thrown Grimshaw ( without seriously injuring him, however) and bolted while proceeding to the post, the others went without her. The Free Handicap being " off'," the Selling Handicap wound up the meeting, a field of seven wretched bad ones contending for it, of which Knave of Trumps turned out the best, Lord Stamford thus securing a second " plum'' during the afternoon. The day's Cambridgeshire betting was not of any great importance, as will be seen by the latest quotations we give below, which are made up from the transactions on the course and the doings at Cambridge en route to London. The return journey was accomplished in capital time, considering the heavy special it was compulsory to make up : in fact, the arrangements made throughout the meeting for the convenience of visitors were admirable, at Shoreditchas well as at Newmarket, where Mr HeavensJ the Jstation- master, was indefatigable in his exertions to make things go smoothly during the meeting.

The favourite de- clining to join her horses, caused some delay at the post, after which Twilight jumped off with the lead, but was pulled back at a quarter of a mile, leaving Confidence in command, followed by Queen Elizabeth, Jenny Wren, Manrico, and Lord Chester- field's mare to the cords, where the old one resumed the com- mand, and won by a length and a half; a length separating second and third; Black Lily was a good fourth, Jenny Wren fifth, Confidence sixth, Stockowner last.

The start was so evenly effected at the first attempt that for the first fifty yards nothing was positively leading. The Plush colt then ob- tained about half a length the best of it, was waited on by Pla- net, Outlaw, Lord Glasgow's colt, Sonchamp, War Dance, and Sprite all packed together in the middle of the course, Knight of Snowdon lying by himself on the right, as were Breeze and Ya- muna together on the opposite side. There was no variation in these places until at the cords when Physalis colt got his head in advance and won a good race from Planet by a neck ; a length and a half off Sonchamp finished third, a head over the Plush colt, who was fourth. The next up were Breeze, Knight of Snow- don, Yamuna, and War Dance, succeeded by Outlaw and Sprite. Bun in lmin 20sec.

The lead, after a number of failures, was taken by Cassidia for about one hundred yards, when Practitioner, closely attended by Diomed, Eegina, and the Mary Copp colt, became prominently in command, the lot, however, continuing on fair terms until a quarter of a mile from home. Eegina and Columba were first to give way. Entering the cords, Lord Stamford's colours again came to the fore, and being joined by Practitioner and Lord Ux- bridge's colt, the three came out and finished the race, Cassidia winning by a short head, the Mary Copp colt beaten two lengths from Mr Craven's horse. At about the same interval, Diomed was fourth, the Herald colt and Miss Armstrong next, the last two were Eegina and Columba. Eun in lmin 22sec.

SATURDAY, OCT 10.— There was but a scanty attendance to- day, and for the future the committee are determined to hold their meeting on Thursday and Friday, to avoid Saturday's racing. The weather was all that could be desired, and the course was not so heavy as on the first day. Proceedings opened with the Ainderby Plate, which Cellarius won cleverly. Michael Scott cantered away with the Northallerton Handicap. Wisdom won the Two Year Old Selling Stake, but only brought a trifle to the fund. Prairie Flower and Cellarius ran a deat heat for the Inn- keepers' Plate, which Prairie Flower afterwards won cleverly. Michael Scott also landed the Harewood Plate, being the fourth win for his new master, Mr R. Calder, who purchased him of Lord Durham, previous to the meeting, for 100 so vs. and he is likely to turn out a good investment. The Stand receipts on both daj's were satisfactory, and the committee, after paying all expenses, will be able to carry a small surplus over to the credit of next year's races. The Hon W. E. Duncombe, M. P., has con- sented to act as one of the stewards. Below is a return of the sport:— The AINDERBY PLATE ( Handicap) of 30 sovs, for all ages; win- ners extra; T. Y. C.

Cellarius made play, followed by Maid of the Mist and Starlight to the farm house, where Starlight took up the running, but died away on entering the straight, and the favourite went on with the running, followed by Maid of the Mist, and in this manner the race ended, Cellarius winning easily by half alength; two lengths between the second and third ; and three lengths between the third and fourth. The NORTHALLERTON HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, 3 ft, with 40 added; the second saved his stake; winners extra: one mile ; 12 subs. Mr R.

Miss Armstrong cut out the work, with Entremet second, and the favourite last. In this order they ran to the farm house, where Michael Scott took up the running, was never afterwards caught, and won in a canter by a length; Entremet was tailed off a long way.

They ran thus to the farm house, where Gourmand rushed to the front, and held the lead to the bottom turn, where he was beaten; Miss Tees was then left in front, but was deprived of the lead by Wisdom at the distance, who won easily by a neck; second beating the third two lengths ; bad fourth. The winner was bought in for 35 guineas, and Gour- mand was claimed by the owner of Miss Tees under the New- market rule. MATCH 25,10 ft; catch weights; owners to ride; one mile. Mr H. L.

Prairie Flower made play, with Who's Who and Cellarius second and third; Who's Who died away at the last turn, and Cellarius challenged Prairie Flower at the distance ; a fine race home ended in a dead heat between them ; Sir Watkin was a bad third. DECIDING HEAT : 6 to 4 on Cellarius. Prairie Flower made all the running, was never caught, and won cleverly by a length and a half. The winner was sold to Mr Thompson for 40gs.

LIVERPOOL HUNT CLUB MEETING, Stewards : Capt White, L. Peel and G. W. Moss, Esqs. Judge: MrJ. Swindells, jun. Starter: Mr Pickering, clerk of the Course and Handicapper: Mr W. Topham. SATURDAY, OCT 10.— Hsylake cannot fail eventually to be- come a first- class meeting, not only through the amount of money added, viz, £ 550, for the afternoon's sport, but also owing to the manner in which the details of the meeting are conducted, the committee acting up to the proud motto of the club, " Foremost if I can.'' The steeple chase course had to be slightly altered, in consequence of two of the fields being under water, through the deluge of rain which has fallen for the last ten days. A capital course was selected, all grassland, containing thirty- one jumps in the four miles. The attendance was quite up to the average of the last three meetings. The card contained seven events to be run for, commencing with the Bridesmaids' Cup, a handsome piece of plate, value £ 250, the gift of a few Liverpool gentlemen. Nine animals faced thestarter, Huimari running no less than four for it. Deception was made the favourite, Mary Ann being the next in demand. The Flat made the running, and got so far ahead that many people thought he could never be caught, but tiring at the finish he let the others up, and after a fine race Mary Ann won by half a length ; three lengths between second and third; Deception fell. For the Liverpool Hunt Autumn Handicap Doncaster won all the way. The same remark applies to Medora. Another good thing came off in Columbia for the Dee Stakes, she making all the running and winning easily by a length. The remainder of the raohg requires no comment. The following are the particu- lars of the sport, viz :— The BRIDESMAIDS' CUP, a piece of plate of the full value of 250 sovs, added to a Handicap Sweepstakes of 10 sovs each, for horses the bona fide property of members of the club; the second received 50 sovs out of the stakes, and the third saved his stake ; professionals allowed to ride; about four miles, over the Hoy- lake Steeple Chase Course.

The Flat led the way, Fosco lying second, De Reuter third, the favourite fourth, Rifle- man, Mary Ann, and Marchioness bringing up the rear. After going once round The Flat led at the least fifty yards, De Reuter second, Mary Ann third, the favourite having fallen at the back of the Stand. No material change took place until landing on to the race course, where The Flat fell back beaten, De Deuter taking the lead, closely followed by Mary Ann; the two jumped the last hurdle abreast, Mary Ann winning after a fine race up the straight by half a length; three lengths bet ween the second and third, and a neck separating the third and fourth; the others walked in.

The Second October week at head- quarters has no more to boast of than the First in the excitement produced by the two year old races, which were of the tamest kind, insomuch that the results were not in any instance surprising, and all the juveniles coming out for the first time failed to secure a victory, except in the matches. Then, again, the contests for three year olds were of the most insignificant character, especially when the Select Stakes was reduced to a walk over; consequently, the race for the Cesarewitch, with that portion of the plating which had reference to the Cambridgeshire, must form the principal subject matter of any remmi of the meeting intended as a guide to the future. Monday's opening event was only remarkable for the severe finish over the T. Y. C. between two rogues, Peignoir and Walloon, although the latter is not, perhaps, deserving of being stigmatised a rogue now, as he ran gamely enough in his two races at the last meeting here, which he did also on this occasion, the performance being a creditable one, looking at the weight he was giving away to everything. The £ 50 Plate, for two year olds, had a sufficient number of entries for it to be divided into two classes, and in one of the spins Crytheia, Yaung Rapid, and No Name ( Mr Alexan- der's Teddington filly) joined issue, their opponents including several who had never raced before, and among them Caryophyllus. a colt by Beadsman out of Gillyflower ; Lucky Star, a brother to Twilight; and a Young Melbourne colt of. Lord Glasgow's, that walked over for the Black Duck Stakes at York. All three ran for- ward up to a certain point, but could not compete with either Crytheia or Young Rapid at the finish. The match decided be- tween a Maid of Masham filly and Rapidan, a diminutive filly by Beadsman out of Miami, which was " any odds'' on the former after the two were seen, another respectable lot of two year olds appeared for the second £ 50 Plate on the T. Y. C., although more than one of them merely performed, probably, with an eye to get" ting favourably treated in some of the many handicaps provided for the juveniles at Newmarket. At any rnte, nothing had a chance on paper with the two Ascot opponents, Light and To- mato, who started almost equal favourites, in consequence of Light having so palpably gone off since she defeated the Baron's filly at Ascot, besides which Tomato exhibited herself in great form here last meeting when running Ely to a head for the Triennial. The issue was thus one of great moment to the backers of Mr Cart- wright's Derby colt, and it turned out very satisfactorily to them, as Tomato won all the way from Light, while the others weve spread- eagled all over the course, the good- looking Signalman being tailed off. The result re- opened the question as to which performance of Ely at Doncaster may be taken as the most cor- rect ; but it is useless discussing the point any further, when it is possible he and Coast Guard may so soon meet again, as they are both in theCriterion. Linda galloped in her old style when meeting Yamuna for the Three Hundred Sovs Sweepstakes, which she was bound to win, with 31b the best of the weights, although the vic- tory was so easily accomplished thatthe result should be an induce- ment for Ely to try his luck again with theDerby " crack" next meeting. The Cesarewitch Trial Plate was worthy of its title, as most of the dozen competitors had " tried" candidates for the great event, the betting on which was considerably altered by the result. Bally Edmond showed in his very best form, and won so easily that his companions, Jack of Hearts and Blackdown, were bound to be respected, as he gave 51b to Dulcibella and at least a stone beating, which made the chances of Limosina and Drummer Boy appear anything but rosy, for the old mare beat the latter very easily at Doncaster. It was surprising that Drummer Boy should have been in such great force afterwards, the running of Fitz- Eva being nothing in his favour, although he was beaten a long way in the private " trial;" and he had just as much right to decline in favour as Summerside after the indifferent perform- ances of her stable companions, Myrtle and Tornado, for Dulci- bella's running affected his pretensions more directly than it did those of Limosina. The match between Confidence and Southport showed ' hat 61b brought them almost as near together as possible, and yet the chesnut would have won pretty easily had he been as ready to begin as his opponent, who had nearly a length the best of it before they had travelled a hundred yards. Tuesday's minor events may be said to have brought out but a sorry lot when Merry Maid, Equinox, Norroy, and Juliet were the winners, and the two latter giving weight to all their oppo- nents. Only Norroy, who was once talked about for last year's Derby, exhibited anything like form; and the two competitors for the Royal Stakes having no quality to boast of, the Cesare- witch and Clearwell only need employ our pen. The Cesarewitch, contrary to general expectation, mustered two dozen runners, the oriij' noticeable absentee among those left in on the day being Twilight; and of the twenty- four competitors very few may be said not to have started on their own account, the only acknowledged pilots for the several favourites being Agag and Chere Amife for Drummer Boy, and Silkstone for Summerside. With the exception of Emblem and Umpire, and Carisbrook and Fantail, the others all represented separate interests, and it was evident that money was being carried by two- thirds of the field, which included nine three year olds, twelve four year olds, two six year olds, and the " aged'' Emblem. The four year olds were en- titled to produce the winner, as they were not only greatly in the majority, but included two highly- tried and turned- loose horses like Lioness and Drummer Boy, besides the greatly improved Limosina, whose decline in the market must be attributed more to her having been discovered a little " off" overnight than to Dulcibella's defeat on the first day, although she stiowed no symptoms of such a catastrophe at the post. Of the others. Emblem, Umpire, Jack of Hearts, Blackdown, Summerside, Fantail, Real Jam, Harlequin, and Blithfield looked as well as training could make them ; but on its being pretty well known that Lioness had done enough at home to convince her clever trainer she was as good a thing as Buckstone would have been at 7st 41b in the race, few dreamed of anything beating her that had the worst of the weights, and it was undoubtedly a great performance for Limosina to run second to her when giving 101b away. It was a true run race, and Jack of Hearts was just as near to the victrix at the finish as those who tried her thought he would be, through The Knave's running with him at Doncaster; still, there may be one or two who finished behind Jack capable of turning the tables on him in the Cambridgeshire, if not of contending with Limosina, who has all the Cesarewitch horses safe on paper, the following being a list of those that were behind her engaged in the shorter race :— Cesarewitch Cambridgeshire DEATH OF THOS. KENNEDY, ESQ.— It is with regret that we record the death of Thomas Kennedy, Esq, Ballyshannon House, Kildare, a sportsman of the old school. In Mr Ken- nedy's early days he was a man of great power over a horse, often displaying his ability at Head Quarters and other places in Ireland. Be was chief supporter of the BaUyshannon Races, run over his own domain, afterwards changed to Mullaghmoy, but not celebrated these years back. He was the breeder of some clipping horses, and one remains yet, namely. Kingfisher, a fine sire, who has got some first- class horses. Of late years he was not much on the turf, ill health not permitting him, and on the 1th insths sank under the effects of it. Limosina, 4 yrs Jack of Hearts, 3 yrs Blackdown, 3 yrs Sunamerside, 3 yrs Umpire, 6 yrs Change, 3 yrs Carisbrook, 4 yrs.. Harlequin, 4 yrs.. Weight.

The next best look- ing is The Monk, 6 yrs, 7st 101b ( penalty included), and he may not like the distance. The Carholme Stakes rests between a moderate lot of two year olds, the majority of them being handicapped in the Lindum Nursery on the second day, wherein a colt by Lambton is top- weight, so that he ought to win this, unless the handicapper has greatly overrated him. The Witham Handicap, a mile spin, may be picked up by J. Osborne with his Flytrap. Formidable showed at Warwick that be can gallop this distance, and he is likewise entitled to some respect. The other events complete are of the jumping sort, which are quite out of our latitude at present. There are some rich prizes in waiting at Kelso, and on the first day ( Wednesday) there will doubtless be plenty to look in for the Roxburgh Handicap, with its £ 200 bonus, the thirteen ac- ceptors including the Cesarewitch winner, Lioness, 4 yrs, 8st 71b, besides other recent winners ; Joey Jones, 5 yrs, 9st 41b, and The Monk, 6 yrs, 8st 51b, being the most noteworthy of them. In ad- dition to these we notice Mr Bowes's pair, Old Orange Girl, 3 yrs, 7st 51b, and Early Purl, 3 yrs, 7st lib; but can scarcely anticipate the overthrow © f Lioness, if she is sent north, notwithstanding The Monk will be at home over the mile and a half. A Two Year Old Sweepstakes, six furlongs, is at the mercy of Persuasion, as the next best to her is Dawdle, and there is no comparison between the form displayed by the two. In the Kelso Plate Michael Scott " has plenty of weight; but he can carry it home, if we may depend on his defeat of Miss Arm- strong at Northallerton being correct, as the latter showed good form at Newmarket. The Border Handicap, two miles, is subject to the first day's running, as is also the Welter Cup; and the other events have not yet closed. Agag, 4 yrs Romanoff, 3 yrs Of the above, Limosina, Summerside, Jack of Hearts and Um- pire were going best on approaching " the bushes" up to which point Fantail, Blondin, and Blackdown had also run forward; but as Umpire would not faoe the hill on Tuesday last he is not likely to cut even so good a figure in the Cambridgeshire. In fact, Limosina looks bound to beat all the Cesarewitch horses over again, and at present we can perceive nothing so formidable look- ing as Lord Stamford's colours in the last great race of the season, Gemma ( 4 yrs, 7st 13lb) being a very good sec@ nd string for his lordship, supposing we can depend on the correctness of last year's Cambridgeshire running, when the French mare was a good third to Limosina's second, giving her 131b. However, Limosina improved on this performance by at least 101b on Tues- day last, or last year's winner, Bathilde would look like beating her again— and she appears boundtobeat Gemmaas it is. Lioness's stable companion, Cairncastle, was always fancied for the short race, even before the mare won the long one, and just now the race looks in a very small compass, for only Catch ' em Alive, Exchequer, Bathilde, Despair, Summerside, and the best of Godding's and the French teams, appear capable of contending against Lord Stamford. It often happens, however, that the Cam- bridgeshire results in a surprise when the Cesarewitch winner is not engaged, and we think the forthcoming event is much harder to select the winner of than that, decided on Tuesday last, which we in our last left to Limosina, Lioness, Drummer Boy, Umpire, and Summerside, who all ran well in front until Lioness was discovered with the race in hand. But we could not, on principle, stand upon a bad performer like Lioness as the absolute winner, as besides her defeat when in receipt of a stone from Feu de Joie in the Yorkshire Oaks last year, there waa the more recent " per- formance'' at Reading only two months ago, when she was beaten off from GoldenDust andFontenoy, with all the best of the weights, after the Cesarewitch entries were made. We did not give her party credit for risking such a " good thing'' being bowled out, or for so misleading the handicapper, who was quite taken in by the performance, and more easily so because he did not anticipate a ruse from such a quarter. The Clearwell field was a strong one in numbers, seven public performers— viz, Crisis, Knight of Snowdon, Sonchamp, Esper- ance, Alliance, the Senorita colt, and Beatrix— being opposed by four fresh candidates, consisting of Bonus, a brother to Limosina; New York, a brother to Newcastle ; Planet, a colt byLambton out of Zodiac's dam ; and Wandering Minstrel, a colt by Fandango out of Godabout. Crisis's second to Harvest Mell in the Doncaster Nursery, and the victory of Sonchamp in France, gave them the best of all the other public horses, of which only Knight of Snow don had run respectably; and only Planet of the dark lot had been talked about as a " Derby horse," which he scarcely proved him- self when allowing Crisis to beat him a neck with theSlb penalty, although he was not up to the mark, and must see a better day, as will also Sonchamp, who had had scarcely time enough al- lowed him to recover from the trip to France and back. Never- theless, not one of the eleven runners showed within a stone of " Derby form," and there is now but little prospect of anything coming out this year to alarm the friends of the established " cracks.'' Wednesday brought together a somewhat respectable class of platers, and when Anonyma, Golden Dust, Ostentation, and Donnybrook came out for the small fry, their parties must have meant winning money— which the Donnybrook division did not accomplish, although he won the Oatlands, with odds ranging from 5 to 1 to 5 to 2 obtainable, for they backed him too heavily against Anonyma, with whom he ran unkindly, or it looked any odds on him at the foot of the hill. The Beaufort, fee Match, the Bedford, and the 50 sovs Sweepstakes, all resulted as " public form '' warranted anyone in anticipating ; and yet, after Goldy- locks being almost given away at Goodwood, where she ran a thorough jade, it was something for her nominator to feel cha- grined at that she brought off a good thing the first time her new owner asked her. It was not a little singular Mr T. Valentine sold Carisbrook to the party who purchased Goldylocks on account of his cowardly temper when he was a two year old, and the filly may turn out an equally lucky venture, for we do not forget that she " split" Light and Tomato in a large field at Ascot. We can say but little in reference to tiie Thursday's races, which were nearly all short spins, and chiefly noticeable for the merit displayed " by the two year olds, Attraction and Ostentation, the latter of whom did so well that Mr Payne may think himself fortunate she declined to meet Tomfoolery in their match for Monday. The match between Echo and the Miss Sarah colt was the closest shave of the day. Lord Glasgow's representative only winning on the post; however, the Bretby was also well, contested, Mr Cartwrigbt's Isca, a filly by Ethelbert out of Kilmeny, who ran unprepared at Reading, only winning by a neck, which was accomplished by sheer gameness, for she is not a flyer, and at least a stone behind Ely at home. FRIDAY.— Notwithstanding that the 500 sovs Free Handicap Sweepstakes was " off," as also that for which Bally Edmond and Wingrave were handicapped to run from the " Ditch in," the card embraced two or three important items, and the match made during the meeting between Clarissimus and Carnival, at even weights, was a good public Cambridgeshire trial for the latter, in which he acquitted himself so creditably that Godding bids fair to have as good a favourite before the day as he did for the Cesare- witch, it being a question whether he is not of a calibre equal to Saunterer's, who ran third with more weight on his back. In the 100 sovs Sweepstakes Becky Sharpe ran out of all form, as the winner, Privateer, is a very mode- rate animal, Attraction having given him 161b and " lost" him on Monday; so there is no question Becky was not herself, or Scottish Chief's July Stakes performance would appear in a worse light than ever. For the Prendergast the class of horses performing was no better than for the Clearwell, on a superficial glance at the two results, and yet there was no dis- puting that the winner. Lord Glasgow's colt, by Brother to Bird on the Wing out of Physalis, had considerably improved siuce the York Meeting, where he was defeated by the 71b penalised King George, and time will do so much for him that he will some j Rifle C by Grey Plover.. 6 Escape st lb F by All's Well .. 6 4 Laura 6 4 Filly out of Piety.. 6 0 Red Hugh 6 0 » ge st lb a ge st lb Emily .3 .6 2 Armstrong's D.

The Autumn Meeting, last of the series held at the Curragh for this season, will commence on Tuesday next, the 20th inst, and close on Thursday afternoon. The programme is composed o^ handicaps and races for two year olds, and as there are plenty of horses of all ages doing strong work at the Curragh, the fifteen items setfor decision in most instances are likely to produce lively and interesting contests. On this occasion the experiment of a hurdle race was tried, for which forty- nine horses were weighted, but the half dozen acceptors required by the articles were not to be found, and the affair for the present has fallen to the ground ; but at the close of the hunting season next April a similar item in the programme may prove more attractive. On Tuesday, after the Scurrys and Queen's Plate are decided, the First Class of Trainers' Stakes, for two year olds, one mile, will be run off, for which fifty- five were weighted. As the acceptances will not be made until Monday afternoon, we shall give a few of the names of those that we fancy are likely to accept at the weights allotted to them, viz :— st lb I st lb Claret Cup 7 0 Little Bear 6 7 Bacchus 7 0 I Rifle 6 7 Ice ' Jream 7 0 Marqu i s of Kildare 6 7 Honey Bee 6 7, , Of the above bakers' dozen. Claret Cup, Marquis o Kildare, and Bacchus are entitled to a preference at the weights. The Second Class of Trainers' 8takes, one mile and a naif on the Peel Course, is in the same position as the First Class, the accept- ances for which will be only due on Monday afternoon, therefore all that can be done is to give a guess as to the probable acceptors, and we think that most of the following will cry " Content " and take their chance :— age stlb Woodman 4.. 8 0 Causton Rose.. 3.. 7 4 Amain 5.. 7 3 F by Artillerv— SistoWarha" wk3. .6 12 Simon Pure( late Kill or Cure).. 4.. 6 7 Although the above lot amount to less than one- fourth of those weighted, yet we think the winner may be found among them, our leaning being for Woodman, Bull's Run, and Causton Rose. The first of the five items set apart for Wednesday that we shall take in hand is the Kildare Handicap, for which there are half a score acceptors, of whom we give Outcast the decided preference; but if The Lawyer makes his appearance, with the Harkaway steadier of lOst, he will find supporters ; but, bad as the Irish old horses are, we think he will not be able to give some of them so much weight. The Sligos, for two year olds, next claims attention, and there is every likehood of a sharp contest for the stakes between Blar- ney ( who will have to carry a 101b penalty unless the Stewards, the evening previous, fix the extra weight otherwise, which, as will be seen bv the programme, is a reserved question), Clarence, and The Lancet. The first named should win, as 8st 121b will not prove a stopper to him, as he is stated to be better than Caroline, who has carried this weight twice successfully, giving stones away to others of her year. We expect to see the following at the starting post for the va- luable Beresford Stakes, for two year olds, one mile on the Madrid Course :— st lb | st lb .9 5 Longsight 8 4 .8 9 | Marquis of KildareS 4 .8 7 I Jonathan Oldbuck. 8 4 .8 7 I Honey Bee 8 4 . Of the above lot Union Jack has proved himself a racehorse by his performance at Warwick, where he ran Mr Merry's Phemy filly a close race giving her 121b, and more recently his victory at Newmarket for the Granbys, which entitles him to a first class position, independent of the show he made of a large field for the Railway Stakes at the Curragh September Meeting ; therefore, if he makes his bow again it will be all over but the shouting. Sister to Thady Foley is the next most entitled to confidence. After the race for the Royal W hip on Thursday, the Paget Stakes, for two year olds, stands next in the list, for which there will be a fair field, amongst whom will be found Clarence, who ran a close race with Caroline for the Ballymanus Stakes at the Heath of Maryborough, and who has quite recovered the attack of sickness that prevented him from competing for the Railway Stakes in September; therefore we repose con- fidence in him to pull off this event, although danger is to be ap- prehended from the competition of Sister to Thady Foley, who should be kept on the safe side. Honey Bee may show for this stake, but will have to mend his Anglesey performance to have any chance of winning. The Marble Hill Stakes, the last of the events for two year olds that will absorb the attention of racing men and the public, will afford, we fancy, a most exciting contest between The Lancer and Waterloo, although the former has to give the latter 51b, which of course will give Waterloo the call. Blarney, with his steadier of 9st 41b, will if he goes be defeated, as he incurs a penalty of 171b. The Corinthians and other events of the meeting have yet to close.

Lord Winchilsea brought forward the motion of which he had given notice, but it was not seconded. On the motion of Admiral Rous, seconded by Lord Coventry, it was resolved— That in Rule 36 the fine to be inflicted at the dis- cretion of the Stewards shall be not exceeding 50 sovs, instead of 25 sovs, as at present. That in Rule 37, after the words at the usual place of weighing before the race," the words " nnder a penalty not exceeding £ 10" shall be added. That in that part of Rule 39 which relates to minor handicaps and two year old han- handtcaps, 8st 101b shall be substituted for Sst 71b. Admiral Rous's motion for an alteration of Rule 40 was withdrawn. In the absence of Mr Greville, it was moved by the Duke of Beaufort, and seconded by Lord Courtenay— That the Rule respecting half mile races, passed in the First Spring Meeting, on the motion of Lord Glasgow, seconded by Lord Strathmore, shall only apply to races te which money is given from the funds of the Jockey Club. After some discussion, the motion was negatived by a large ma- jority, only five members voting for it. The Duke of Beaufort's motion for an alteration of Rule 56, on the subject of claiming, was withdrawn for the present.— Ad- journed. A general meeting of the Jockey Clubwill be held at Newmarket after the races, on Wednesday in the Houghton Meeting. HORSES STRUCK OUT OF THEIR ENGAGEMENTS.

RACING TOR HONOURS.— Newmarket, so long famous for supre- macy in equine matters, has recently had occasion to pride itself on talent of another kind, as Mr F. Kitchener, son of Mr Kitchener, of the above place, has, in addition to his mastership at Rugby School, obtained a fellowship at Trinity College, Cambridge, within the last few days. RACING IN GERMANY.— A racing club has been recently formed at Frankfort- on- the- Maine. The society, which is termed the " Rheinischer Rennverein," or " Rhine Racing Club," is directly patronised by the Emperor of Austria, the King of Hanover, the King of Bavaria, the Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt, and other German potentates, and numbers among its subscribers most of the influential patrons of the German Turf* The advancement of racing as a sport in Germany, and tha improvement of the breed of horses, are the avowed objecta of the society, and under its auspices meeting will be hsid. at Fsairkfort in Aug, .1864..

THE T wo YEAR OLD RACE AT BEDFORD.— This race has been awarded to Faith, who came in second, Soumise not being entitled to the maiden allowance under the amended rule. Mr George Pallett's yeariing filly by Neville, dam by Bird- catcher, is named Miss Pickles, and has arrived at C. Rolph's, Little Hinton, near Lambourne, to be trained.

Master Oliver is by Wmdhound, dam by Bel- zoni, and Miss Amy is by Cannobie, dam by The King of the Gipsies. They were both bred by M r Hewat. Capt R. Goff has hired the house and stables belonging to Mr Westley, opposite the boy's school, Newmarket, Mr R. Cooper being about to remove his horses therefrom to the new house and stables now erecting in Black Bear- lane. MICHAEL SCOTT.— This horse, own brother to The Wizard, by West Australian, 3 years old, was purchased previously to the Northallerton Meeting of Lord Durham. The price, we believe, was 100 sovs. THE BROOMPIELD HUNTERS' PLATE AT NORTHALLERTON.— The stewards went into this case on Saturday, Oct 10, during the races, and have awarded the Plate to Springbok, the filly which came in first. Several bets were pending the result, which will now have to be paid to the winner. Fitz- Roland, Rising Sun, Cowley, Gallus, and other horses, the property of 8ir Joseph Hawley, are advertised to be sold by auction by Messrs Tattersall during the Houghton Meeting. Lord Strath- more's stud, as previously stated, will be put up at the same time. Hereford Autumn Meeting will take place on Thursday and Friday, Nov 5 and 6 ( the two days following Worcester), and being within an hour's ride of the latter place, will no doubt be an inducement for owners and trainers to patronise the triple en- tertainment of fiat, hurdle, and cross- country racing, full parti- culars of which will be found in our advertising columns. SHREWSBURY AUTUMN MEETING — In another column will be found the unprecedented numerous entries for the closed events at this meeting, from which it may be inferred that the racing season will have a brilliant termination at Salop, as the races ex- tend over four days, with every possibility, we hear, of a fifth being added. SALE OF HORSES AT NEWMARKET.— Of ten lots offered by auction by the Messrs Tattersall, on Wednesday last, only the following changed hands:— Bay gelding, by Neasham out of La Belle, 3 yrs, to Mr Formby, for 12gs; and a chesnut yearling filly by Lord of the Isles out of Days of Yore, engaged in the Ben- tinck Memorial at Goodwood, 1864- 5- 6, the Leger, and the Devon- shire Produce Stakes, to Mr W. Da}', for 150gs. Old Calabar was amongst the unsold ones. The 1st Herts Light Horse Races ( confined exclusively to officers and members of the corps) will be held at Silver Leys, Bishop Stortford, on Wednesday next, the 21st inst. The programme embraces five prizes, valued at about £ 130, and for which already eight horses have been entered for the Officers' Stakes, while 15 others are nominated for the remaining prizes. It is anticipated that the number will be doubled by Monday, the last day for entry. Great preparations are being made for the event, and a good day's sport is anticipated. DINNER AND PRESENTATION.— Capt Harrison, the hon sec of the Lothians' Racing Club and adjutant of the Royal Mid- Lothian Yeomanry Cavalry, was entertained at dinner in the Waterloo Hotel, Edinburgh, on Wednesday last, when about fifty gentle- men assembled to do honour to the worthy veteran, the chair being ably filled by Capt Sir Wm. Baillie, Bart, of Polkemmet, and the Hon J. Sandilands discharging the duties of croupier. Sir William, in proposing the health of the much- respected " Chief Pillar'' of the Scottish Turf in a deeply impressive and eloquent speech, presented him in name of the subscribers with a tangible proof of their esteem in the form of upwards of 200gs value of silver plate; the claret jug and massive salvers, & c, bore the in- scription as being " presented to Captain Harrison by a number of friends, in acknowledgment of his many public services and of his private worth." The well- known stallion Sheet Anchor died on the 4th October, in Count Henckel's stud, Wolfsberg, Carinthia. He is the sire of Collingwood, Weatherbit, Lightning, Malton, Kedge, Kedger, and many other good runners in England, also on the Continent. In this country ( Germany) he never had a chance; in the first place he went to the stud of the Duke of Brunswick, where he never had a good mare. A few years afterwards he was sold to the Silesian Verein, where he had only a few bad thorough bred and half bred mares. Afterwards Count. Henckel bought him, and he went to Siemianowitz, and from there to Wolfsberg, the count having so many stallions very few mares were put to him, but most of his produce were very useful, and could race. A three year old of his last year won the most money in Germany and two of his two year olds are ( Mariner and Her Royal High- ness) now in training in Count Hencltel's stable in Naclo. NEWMARKET.— Having paid a visit during the recent meeting to the studio of Harry Hall, we have much pleasure in bearing testimony to the general excellence and fidelty of the picture of Lord Clifden, which has just been completed for Lord St Vincent. The beautiful points and rich colour of the Leger winner are ad- mirably pourtrayed, and cannot fail to give every satisfaction to his noble owner. Amongst the other most advanced pictures in the studio are highly finished portraits of Suburban, Ace of Clubs, and Welland; while the very " telling" painting of Emblem, with an admirable bit of steeple chase ceuntry, and life- like portraits of Weever and Geo. Stevens, strikes us as one of the very best of the artist's recent productions. Lord Coventry has recently had a private plate of the above picture engraved, which does full justice to the original. We must not forget to notice also that Mr Hall is now engaged on a large picture of Stockwell for Mr Naylor. 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, OCTOBER 17, 1863. RACING FRANCE. PARIS AUTUMN RACES-( CONCLUDED). ( FBOM OUB OWN COBBESPONDENT.) The final scene at Longchamps for the season of 1863 came oft last Sunday, and was associated with all the disagreeables of a regular wet day— rain coming down in torrents from eleven in the morning until half- past six in the evening. The sport was terribly prolonged, first by an uninteresting heat race, and then another hindrance took place by a couple of carriage horses getting loose and knocking down the ropes and posts, besides preventing the races by running about the course for half an hour before any one could catch them. The opening event was the Prix Special, which is, we are glad to say, the last Government race now existing in France that is run for in heats. Guillaume le Taciturne was considered the most capable performer for this description of contest, and was backed freely at evens, but Gentilhomme outpaced him in the first heat, and consequeatly they changed posi- tions in the betting for the race, in which both got de- feated, however, by Vaucresson, a son of Imperieuse, by War- lock. We bear that Flatman came in for an unfair amount of censure for losing the second heat with Gentilhomme, but we are ^ uite sure the veteran jockey could mat have handled him a bit better, or any one else made him win, for a horse that can scarcely stay a mile is a very unlikely sort of a customer for heats, and particularly so when the ground was as heavy as a ploughed field. The Prix du Moulin produced a great surprise, for although the bottled up ones, Heurlys and Don Jon, were both backed so freely as to make it appear that the race was going to be a match between them, both got bowled over by li'Aventuriere, not backed for a shilling, and the running of the Omnium was here reversed, for Acteon and L'Aventuriere ran in that race on nearly even terms, when the colt was a long way in front, and now the filly beats him j ust as easily. By the bye, there has been a split in the council of which L'Aventuriere is a dependant, for last Monday M Lunel came to Chantilly from Paris, and meeting Gibson in the Bide, told him to deliver up his horses immediately, as he should in future train elsewhere. " For what fault," demanded the astonished trainer ? " For no fault," was the answer, " but because you did not win the Omnium when you told me that you had tried n. y horse good enough to do so." The Prix de la Cascade brought eight selling platers together, and Le Fou, after making all the running, defeated the lot easily, though the race gave rise to a deal of grumbling, for Blanchette was made a tremendous favourite at first, but after being weighed for she was suddenly scratched, her owner, who is a knight of the cleaver, coming in for a deal of rough language for this proceeding, and a wag said that, if he did add a little bit on to the meat week days, he certainly ought to be a little more circumspect with regard to horseflesh on Sun- days. Bight competitors came to the post for the Grand Prix Imperial of 20,000f, for four year olds and upwards, over the orthodox distance of four miles, Stradelia being the fa- vourite, and by the previous racing her friends were inclined to be more confident, forVapeu- r ran a good mare at 131b for the year with L'Aventuriere in the Prix du Moulin, and she was defeated in a canter by the black one at Chantilly, receiving 171b. She was looking very well, as was also Orphelin, and Souvenir was looking fresher and better on his pins then he did at Baden : though not- withstanding that he was receiving 101b for being bred in the West, few would venture on him even at the tempting odds of 8 and 10 to 1. The race was the most singular one we have ever seen, for we never recollect a race where horses lay so much out of their ground, and where there was so great an interval between the leading horses and the last. The finish, too, was a most singular one, for there was one horse winning it easily when a slight stumble dashed a stake worth nearly 1,000 sovs out of his grasp, and it fell to another that was the most beaten of any horse in the race, vve have never seen one so thoroughly pumped out as Souvenir was in the last half mile, and actually a man could have run faster then he could go towards the finish. He ran, however, a wonderfully good horse, for even in this condition be could make one little effort at last just in time to profit by Orphelin's mishap. He was received with great applause on his return to the enclosure, though, of course, Orphelin's friends were immensely mortified, particularly Bpreoty, who could scarcely conceal his feelings. M Aumont, however, behaved in the most sportsmanlike manner, and went up immediately and told him that he was quite satisfied that it was no fault of his, and that he felt quite proud of owning such a good little horse as Orphelin had now proved himself to be. The gentlemen who have contributed the return of the race to the French daily papers are quite wild with Pratt for the way in which he rode Stradella, declaring that he completely lost the race by laying out of his ground, and waiting too long. In this we partly concur, though we do not throw any blame on Pratt, for we know he rode entirely to orders, as the count said that the ground was so very heavy that he was afraid she would tire in it, unless ridden with the greatest steadiness. We may mention that the four miles was run exactly in 9min, being lmin 30sec longer than Palestro and Mon Etoile were doing it last year. The last race produced another surprise for Mr Carter's stable, for his good little mare Nobility won it under the heavy impost of 1061b, giving 101b and 121b to other three year olds, and beating them so easily that, on paper, the performance sounds better than any we have seen this year, and stamps Nobility amongst the best three year olds in France next to La Toucques. Of course, after her victory, Grande Dame was inquired after for the Cam- bridgeshire, but we must reserve our opinions concerning this event and the French division until next week.

Fleur de Mai made the running, with the favourite lying second, Gentilhomme third, and the other two waiting in the rear to the last turn, when Gentilhomme took the lead, and maintaining it all the way up, won easily by nearly a length, Fleur de Mai finishing a very bad third.— Second heat: Even on Gentilhomme, who waited on La Eeine Berthe and Guillaume to the last turn, when he attempted to take the lead, but never quite obtained it, and Vaucresson coming out at the distance drew gra- dually away, and won easily by a length ; same between second and third, and La Eeine Berthe was a bad fourth.— Third heat: Gentilhomme made the running, but was beaten before they came into the straight, and Vaueresson then taking the lead car- ried it on to the end, and won easily by a length and a half ; bad third.

Heurlys went away with the lead, followed by Jonathas, Polichi- nelle, Don Jon, Vapeur, Acteon, and Volta, in the order named, and L'Aventuriere brought up the rear, two or three lengths off. At the Windmill, Don Jon went up and took first place, Heurlys then going on second, and Polichinelle third, in which order they ran to the top of the hill, when Heurlys fell back, and going down the hill on the other side Vapeur took second place, fol- lowed by Polichinelle and Acteon to the last turn, where Don Jon gave way beaten, and L'Aventuriere, who up to this point had been lying quite in the rear, now drew up, and at the distance got next to Vapeur, who, however, maintained her lead until opposite the first stand, when Osborne brought up L'Aventuriere with a tremendous rush, and just landed her tbe winner by a short head, Acteon finishing a bad third, three lengths off, and Jonathas a worse fourth, Heurlys fifth, Polichinelle sixth, and Don Jon and Volta were the two last. The winner was not claimed. PBIX DE LA CASCADE of L, 500f, for three year olds and up- vsards ; entrance tiOf; weight for age ; the winner to be claimed for l, 500f; lrn 2fur ; 10 subs.

Le Fou made the running, fol- lowed by Solferino, Braschi, Oberon, Lucida, and Nenuphar in thr order named, and Bouteiile a l'Encre and Creole brought up the rear. Solferino soon fell back beaten, but Le Fou was never headed, and won easily by two lengths, Creole, who had gra- dually crept up from the rear with Bouteiile a l'Encre, finishing a bad third, and Oberon II. was a worse fourth, followed by Lucida and Solferino. C. Pratt weighed for Blanchette, but her owner decided at the last moment on not starting her. The win- ner was not claimed.

Falendre jumped off with such a long lead that several of the jockeys could scarcely believe it was a start at all, Souvenir being the first to follow Falendre, though at an interval of about fifty lengths, and then at another interval of ten lengths came Orphelin, with Panique and Stradella close behind him, and Noelie and Good Bye brought up the rear. Falendre continued to lead at his best pace ( probably to serve Noelie) past tha Stands, and, as he commenced to rise the hill, there must have been at least a quarter of a mile between him and the rear division. Souvenir, however, kept within fifty or sixty lengths of him until they had nearly reached the top of the hill, whei; the leader compounded, and Souvenir passing him as they turned round the brow, carried on the running with a clear . ead all down the descent on the other side, and into the straight, where Falendre, who was dead beaten, pulled up. Passing the Stands for the second time, Souvenir had a long lead, Panique going second, and not far from her came Orphelin and the favourite, lying together; the other three, Noelie, Gabrieile, and Good Bye carrying on a stern chase in the rear, though their chances were evidently hopeless. In this order they ran into the little course and as far as the Plantation, when Souvenir, • who was seemingly going in great trouble, began to fall back to the others, and a little further on Spreoty drew away from Stradella with Orphelin, and at the last turn caught the Derby winner, Panique, who was up to this point going very well, now breaking down badly, so that the race was left to Orphelin, Souvenir, and Stradella. Orphelin, however, looked all over the winner when fairly in the straight, for he soon got two lengths in front of Souvenir, who was rolling about like a ship in a storm, but just as they got within three or four strides of the chair Orphelin slipped up in the mud, and nearly coming down on his haunches was not in his stride again until Hard- cas. tle had made a final effort on Souvenir, and landed him a lucky winner by half a length; Stradella, who| had seemingly run under very waiting orders— for she never attempted to catch her horses until reaching the distance— finishing third, four or five lengths from the fallen hero, and the others were beaten a tre- mendous distance. Net value of the stake, 22,375f. PBIX DE SAINT CLOUD ( a Handicap) of 3,000f, for three year olds and upwards; entrance 150f, 100 ft, and 50only if declared; two miles; 34 subs, of whom 19 declared forfeit. Mr T.

Grande Mademoiselle, Vietot Pontfel, and Jean Sans Peur headed the division at start, and then came Don Juan, the rest lying in a duster, excepting Audacieuse and Blanchette, who were both conspicuous in tie rear. Through the rain we could not denote the changes that took place during the journey up the hill, but coming down into the dip on the other side both Villafranca and Nobility drew up to the front, and as soon as they were fairly into the straight, they quickly cleared themselves from the ruck, and at last the race was reduced to a match between them. Nobility, however, had the best of it all the way up, and won very easily by a length and a half; Scamandre, finishing a bad third, Blanchette fourth, Jean Sans Peur fifth, Audacieuse sixth, ana M Lupin's two finished last of all.

The usual monthly meeting of this club was held on Wednesday evening, Oct 14, at the ciub house, Pier Hotel, Chelsea, Mr Len- tball ( the treasurer) in tbe chair, faced by Mr Morgan. The minutes having been read and confirmed, the chairman made some remarks relative to the late closing trip, and there was some talk about the usual club ball, which ended in it being arranged that certain words should be inserted in the circular convening the November meeting. In the course of the evening Mr G. Condy, chemical works, Battersea, was proposed for the next ballot. believed was second to none pimply because they had ever paid the greatest attention to junior men, and hoped that other mem- bers would join the smali band who would soon be balloted for as members of the West London.— After the toast of " The Officers,'' given by Mr All man, and responded to by Mr Chapman, the hon sec, Mr T. W. Charles rose, amid loud cheers, for the purpose of presenting the testimonial ( a handssme epergne) to Mr Lee, and, in doing so, dwelt upon the many good services he had rendered the club, having been, as he was, one of the first six who started it, and filled succesively nearly every office with the greatest credit to himself and universal satisfaction of the club. Mr Lee, he said, had never through all the changeable fortune of the Undine de- serted his flag; his absence from general and committee meetings was the exception and not the rule; indeed, he scarcely knew when he ever was absent, and without him they would neither have been founded nor gone on with any success. He felt that wherever Mr Lee might go, and in whatever situation of trust he might be placed in after life ( and he was sure that his talents would give him the entree anywhere), he would fulfil it to the sa- tisfaction of everyone with whom he was associated. He hoped he would feel, in accepting this mark of their respect and esteem, that he thoroughly deserved it, that the club had not forgotten his many services, and that he might live many years blessed with health and happiness.— Mr Lee, in the course of a very feeling reply-, said the club had been his pet idea ever since he had jsined it; he had ever striven to do his duty by it in every office he had filled among them, ever striven to uphold its dignity, but circumstances had occurred to render it no longer necessary for him to hold office, and although he regretted exceedingly that the " wee barkie" had foundered, it afforded him much pleasure to know that there was a good harbour at hand ready for them to enter. Beautiful as was the testimonial he saw before him, and perfect as it was in design and workmanship, it was worthless as compared with the feelings which had prompted the members in presenting him with it; worthless as compared with what he felt in being so highly honoured by them. He could not find words sufficiently to thank them, but the recol- lection of the present moment would always come back to him with pleasurable feelings. The remembrance of their kindness would help him on in life, whether blessed with the smiles of prosperity or saddened by the frowns of adversity, and he hoped that through life they might enjoy as much happiness as they had dealt out to him that evening.— Mr Marshall next gave " The Bowing Clubs of the River Thames," coupling with the toast the name of Mr John Tyler, jun, of the West London, which club he eulogised as the best elub on the river.— Mr Tyler, in the course of his reply, hoped that the Grand Challenge Cup might be theirs next year ; and a number of other toasts followed, after which some good songs were sung, and the early hours were striking before the party broke up.

COLLEGE V TOWN.— This, the first match of the season, was played on Wednesday, Oct 7- The Town did not muster in great force, thirteen only putting in an appearance against the College twenty. These, however, were good men and true, who strove hard, but without much success, to achieve a victory. If their full team had been produced the result might have been different, but this is not likely ever to be proved until " Nobody," who always has to bear the blame, is made responsible for a full attendance. Messrs Tyers, Brindley, Poreher, and Inglis set about their work like old practitioners; while for the College, Messrs E. T. Eeid, Atkins, Freeman, Nepean, and Tickell ( the two latter goal keepers) did what was required of them in a manner quite up to the requisite standard. Score— College: Eouges, 6; kick at goal, 1; goal, 1.— Town: Eouge, 1. On Saturday, 10th, a second match was played between the above sides, which terminated in a victory for the College by two goals. Eighteen showed for the Town on this occasion, and at one time seemed to have a chance of pulling off the event; but owing chiefly to the play of Atkins, Treffry, Nepean, and Beale for the College, victory refused to declare in their favour. For the Town, Messrs Tyers, Showers, Brindley, and Franeellon showed good play, and tried hard to turn the tide, but without success. Although the ground was in anything but favourable condition, no accident ( beyond a slight one, by which a gentleman on the Town side had his eye put into mourning for a few days) occurred dnring either of the matches, a matter for congratulation in a match against a side of superior weight like the Town men, and which augurs well for a successful season. ETON COLLEGE. On Saturday, Oct 3, Mr E. Follett brought down a strong eleven, composed of old Etonians, to play the School. After a very good match it ended in favour of the School by one rouge to nothing.— Eton: H. D. Forsyth, E. 8. Hope, Hon N. G. Lyttel- ton, W. S. Prideaux, C. E. Cuthel, A. V. Pryor, T. Hammond, Q. Hogg, E. Lubbock, S. C. Corkran, and W. Turnor, 1 rouge. — Mr Follett's Eleven: R. W. W. Follett, E. C. Follett, G. Follett, Eev G. Dupuis, H. Brandreth, T. P. Hadow, W. E. Griffiths, Whitting, Earl of Jersey, W. Dyke, and Hadow, 0. DAMES V TUTOBS.— This match was played in the " field" on Friday, Oct 9, and terminated in favour of Dames by one rouge to their opponents' nothing. W. S. Prideaux was unable to play for Dames.— Dames: H. D. Forsyth, Hon N. G. Lyttelton, A. V. Pryor, S. C. Corkran, W. Turnor, E. Lubbock, H. M. Thompson, Thompson, F. Willan, French, and Eussell, 1 rouge.— Tutors: E. 8. Hope, C. E. Cuthel, T. Hamond, Q. Hogg, C. E. Knight, Phipps, C. H. Moore, H, F. Langley, W. W. Wood, Seymour, and Gibbs, 0. LANCING COLLEGE. LUNATICS Y SCHOOL.— This match, after a well- contested game, was decided in favour of the School, notwithstanding the Lunatics claimed the majority of the twelve, and all the aspiring candidates. — Score: School, rouge 1 ( Hilton) ; Lunatics, 0. The following is the list of the players.— School: J. Howard, H. Bnowden, W. Hilton, E. Smith, S. Johnson, F. Everest, J. Wheeler, E, Walker, 8. Tremenheere, W. Harper, A Snowden, and L. Hoskyns.— Lunatics : C. Knapp, E. Bouri, A Raymond, S. Baker, H. Popham, F. Farmer, G. Allen, C. Parish, C. Wollaston, F. Bashford, G. May, and J, Kirby. ELIZABETHAN T FOREST SCHOOL, WALTHAMSTOW.— This match was played at Walthamstow on Saturday, Oct 10. The game was evenly contested throughout, and when time was called each side was found to have obtained one goal, leaving it to be settled another time as to who shall claim the victory. The ex- hibition of the School eleven was uncommonly good, but we must particularly notice the fine kicking of Adams ( who obtained the goal) and the general play of Garraway. For the Elizabethan the goal was obtained by Vjdal, who, together with Steward and Hunt, rendered good service. The following are the names of the players :— Elizabethans: H. Steward, H. A. Hunt, C. M. Barker, A. Severn, M. O. Sim, W. W. C. Lane, H. Walker, J. V. Nichols, E. Jermyn, G. Heath, E. S. Vidal ( emergency).— The School : J. Adams, G. H. Garraway, C. Carver, G. H. Edmunds, J. Ellis, W.

At the last general meeting of this club, held at the Quadrant Hotel, Air- street, Eegent- street, on Monday, the 12th of October, the minutes of previous general meeting and committee meetings having been read and confirmed, a discussion arose as to moving the club's head quarters to the City Amis, Hammersmith, and it was resolved to retain the present head quarters— viz, Biffen's, Hammersmith. The scrutineers for the election of ofiicers on the 19th October for the ensuing year were appointed, and auditors for the accounts for the past year elected. The question of holding a dinner to wind up the season was then gone into, and it was ultimately resolved that one should be held at the Quad- rant Hotel on the llth November, and the following gentlemen were elected as stewards: K. C. Rowlatt, VV. H. Newman, P. A. Sherlock, W. W. Boucher, and E. R. Glendinning. The follow- ing gentlemen were then duly elected members of the club: E. D. Benbow, G. J. Jackson, W. P. Watts, C. Winstanley, J. H. New, C. H. Carter, F. Charlton, W, Sfurt, and R. E. Scott. In the course of the evening Mr Digby Smith suggested that, follow- ing in the wake of other clubs, an athletic club should be attached to the North London, in order that the men might be kept in thorough training during the winter months ; and the matter being warmly supported by the members present, Mr Smith read a programme of the sport which it was proposed should take place at their first meeting. The club upon this unanimously re- solved that athletic sports should take place, and appointed a full committee to carry out the affair, their first meeting being called for Monday, October 19, at Biffen's, Hammersmith. A vote of thanks to the chairman, & c, closed the business of the evening. ARIEL ROWING CLUB. The quarterly meeting of this club was held on Wednesday evening, Oct 7. at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet- street; Mr G. Watson in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been read by the hon sec and confirmed, the prizes for the Pair- oared Race, and the last of the season ( which were rowed on Oct 3), were pre- sented to the winners, Messrs C, and F. Fisher, by Mr Eoney, who stated that he was pleased to hear that the gentlemen against whom he gave the foul had since been convinced that they were to blame, and had acknowledged the same. Messrs C. and F. Fisher, who were received with much applause, returned thanks, and said that none of the competitors were more annoyed than they were themselves as regarded the contretemps, they having expected it to be the best race of the season. The annual dinner was fixed to take place on Wednesday evening, Nov 18. Somematters were dis- cussed relative to the future prospects of the club, and it was fur- ther resolved that several motions brought forward should stand over until the January meeting of next year. The nomination of candidates for election at the next meeting then took place, and a vote of thanks to the chairman and hon sec terminated the pro- ceedings. LAMBETH UNITED ROWING CLUB. The members of this newly- formed club are " laying down to their work" in real earnest. Members come in fast, and no less than five crews have entered for the Maiden Race on Saturday, Oct 24. The course on the iccasion will be from Battersea Bridge to Westminster, counting frot/ i the Surrey side, and the awards of merit gold rings and other prizes. We subjoin the crews, viz :— No. 1 ( blue), J. Lowe, E Sneath, C. Coombes, J. Waight, S. Perry ( cox); No. 2 ( red), D. Short, J. Clark, W. Tanner, G. White, W. Ware ( cox) ; No. 3 ( pink), W.

Poulter, W. Roberts ( cox). E. Bain umpire. EXCELSIOR ROWING CLUB. The members of this club closed their season on Saturday, Oct 10, with a four- oared race, which resolved itself into a match, owing to the unavoidable absence of one of the crews entered. The course was from the centre of Greenwich Hospital to Charl- ton, and the following crews competed, viz:— Ma ANDERSON'S CREW—( Messrs G. Clarke, H. S. Brown, E. B. Ellington, II. Anderson, , T, Hoskins ( cox) 1 MK BRAIN'S CREW—( Messrs :'. Larchin, A. Hall, A. Heron, J. E. Brain. J. C. Kearns ( aox) 0 Another crew, as we have said above, were entered, but could not get a boat. The crews started at half ebb at about five o'clock, Mr Brain being slightly ahead when the word " off" was given. This advantage he soon made into half a length, in which order they passed the club house, aft -' which Mr Brain, putting on a spurt, drew a quarter of a lengf , more, the race, as may be sup- posed, being of a most excitingdi scription. Without any change they rowed till they had passed Oubitt's Pier, when Mr Kearns began to bore Mr Anderson's crew towards the Essex shore. The latter stood it for some time, but at length came out, and a foul was the result. It was taken, however, all in good part, and the race resumed, Mr Anderson gradually crawling up inch by inch until the boats were strictly level a little beyond the Folly House. Mr Anderson then commence d in his turn to lead, but Mr Brain contested every inch of the distance, and it was not till they were opposite Bow Creek that Mr Anderson could well clear himself. After this, despite the plucky exertions of Mr Brain, he con- tinued to go away, and finally won by three lengths, the Excel- siors thus elosing a most successful season. A special general meeting of the members of this club was held at theclubhouse, Crown and Sceptre Hotel, Greenwich, on Wednesday, Oct 14, the captain, Mr J. E. Brain, in the chair. The following proposition was brought forward by the chairman, and, after a lengthened discussion unanimously agreed to— viz., " That a branch of the Excelsior Boat Ciub he established above bridge, and that a special committee be appointed to consider the best means of carrying the same into effect, and that they report the result to a general meeting of members, to be specially convened for the purpose." In accordance with the above resolution, the following were the members chosen to farm tbe committee— viz., Messrs Brain, Herron, Britten, Whatlev, Delany, Anderson, Hoskins, and Chayton. The same committee were also requested to revise the rules. Messrs E. Brocklebank, Brocklebank, and R. Hooper were proposed as full members, and Messrs Mumford, Charles, Delany, and Kearns were transferred from the honorary to the full list. Some minor business having been transacted, the meeting adjourned. UNDINE ROWING CLUB. While we are glad to hear of a new rowing club starting into life, we cannot but regret the absence of a long familiar name from our columns, aud are, therefore, sorry to announce the final dissolution of the Undine Rowing Club, which, as the London Amateur, was established a little over two years ago, and once bid fair to become a club of some standing. Various causes rendering it inexpedient ( in the opinioa of the members) to carry on the club any longer, it was < 5etermin « d with the balance in " hand to present a testimonial to Mr J. H. Lee, one of the founders and best supporters of the club, and to do this a closing dinner, which accordingly was held on Thursday, Oct 15, and we can only say that had the members attended in such numbers at pre- vious meetings, the club would still be iti existence. But to the point: Mr Lee, the deputy captain, was in the chair, faced by Mr Marshall, and after the members and their friends had done justice to the excellent things provided by Mrs A<£ ams, at the old elub house, the Union Hotel, Air- street, Regent- street, the chairman gave the loyal toasts, which he followed up by pro- posing " The Undine Rowing Club," in doing which he dwelt at some length upon the grounds which had decided the members upon dissolving, the principal being that it had for some time past been the desire of the members to join their friends in other dubs, particularly the West London. He finished by eulogising" that club, told the members how its officers had, in the face of EEfeqy and great diffiealtiag, made it acluh whieJ: he confidently | jbeea KILSBY AND SPENCER. The match between Frank Kilsby of Lambeth and William Spencer of the Temple, the former a waterman's apprentice and the latter a landsman, came off on Monday, Oct 12, for £ 15 a side, over the shortened metropolitan course, Putney to Hammersmith, a thing which one seldom hears of now- a- days, and which it would be well if one heard of more frequently, as there are many men who are fine two mile performers, but who cannot stay over the longer course, and we cannot understand the dead set against short courses for rowing men, while pedestrians are provided for from 100 yards up to 10 miles. The above men, although only third or fourth- raters, have been before the public for some time past, and this made the third time that they had come together, Spencer having last year given his opponent two lengths' start and never been able to catch him, and afterwards rowed him level, when he again, as now, suffered defeat Kilsby is 22 years of age, his opponent a few years older, and while they are about the same weight, Spencer is slightly taller. Kilsby had trained at Salter's, his opponent at Mr Kemp's, the Chancellor, Hammer- smith, and both were in good condition, except that Spencer was not quite well. Citizen B ( Captain Whanslow) accompanied the race with a tolerably good freight, amongst whom betting, which began at 6 to 4, rose by rapid steps until, without any perceptible cause, it became 3 and 4 to 1 on Kilsby. At two o'clock the men appeared at their stations, Spencer having the toss ; Kilsby, as usual, was attended by his brother John as pilot, Spencer by John Tagg. The umpires were D. Gillamfor Kilsby, Mr Kemp of the Angel and Sun, Strand, for Spencer, and the veteran Mr Newnham referee; both men rowed in Jewitt's boats, now belonging to Mr Salter. They got away at five minutes past the hour as level as a die, Spencer immediately afterwards taking a slight lead, and the pace was fast for the first quarter of a mile, during which it was any one's race, for although Kilsby had drawn level at tbe Star and Garter he could not get a lead till they had passed Simmons's, where they were still at it ding- dong. Spencer rowing a pretty stroke, wliile'Kilsby pulled in his usual inelegant style, although it has somewhat improved, and he ma- naged to make the boat travel at a greater pace than his oppo- nent's. Opposite the London Boat House Frank put on a fine spurt, and gradually drawing away inch by inch, was half his lengtii ahead at Bishop's Creek, and had cleared himself half way up the Willows, where he took his antagonist's water, and then rowing rapidly ahead there was a clear length between them at the end of the Bishop's Grounds, Spencer's rowing not being improved by all manner of abuse which was levelled at him by the Kilsbyites because he happened to be astern, which we feel confident would not have occurred from the other side had vic- tory decided in Spencer's favour, and which we are happy for the credit of the river to add is but seldom heard above bridge. Kilsby now took a blow, and in the same positions they raced past the Point, between which and the Crab Tree Kilsby gained about half a length and then took to rowing leisurely again, no doubt thinking the race all over, but after they had crossed Spencer put on a most determined spurt, and continuing it with the greatest game right along the Soap Works came close on his opponent's stern at the end of the bridge. Here a barge lay in the way ; Kilsby bored full towards it, and his backers began to look very blue, and possibly felt how ridiculous the fours to one might look if he touched it, for certain it is that had he done so Spencer would have gone by. Kilsby, however, succeeded in clearing it by a few" inches, and then putting on another spurt succeeded in passing under Hammersmith Bridge a winner by three- quarters of a clear length. Time, lOmin SOsec. C0LLESS AND TAGG. The match, for £ 25 a side, between J. W. Tagg of East Moulsey and G. Colless of Hampton was rowed on Tuesday, Oct 13, and proved from beginning to end a wretchedly hollow affair, a long state of odds being for once warranted. Tagg is well known to our readers as a fast and, at the same time, finished sculler, and has earned a name unto himself by several interesting perform- ances both up the country and at Putney. His principal doings this year have been a victory over J. Snell of Hampton and a defeat at the hands of Cooper of Newcastle, who rowed him a mile after he had beaten Everson, when Tagg, although he had not trained for months, headed his opponent for over half the dis- tance. He was also one of the Champion Four this year, and rowed second with Hamrnerton in the pair- oared race at the regatta. Colless is a landsman, who has been engaged this season by the Twickenham Rowing Club to look after their boats. Unlike his opponent, he is almost untried, having only rowed one race be- fore, we believe, when he suffered defeat at the hands of his present opponent, having run into the bank early in the race. It may fairly be said, therefore, that he had no claim to be considered a rowing man of any weight, and the terrible licking he got fully bears out this view of the matter. The men had undergone the usual amount of training, Tagg at Mr Pankhurst's, the Bull's Head, Barnes, and Colless at Mr Wilcox's, the White Hart, Barnes, where under Tom Hoare's skilful tuition he improved very much in his style of going, and both men came to the post in good trim, Tagg looking every inch a winner, as in fact he should as compared with his opponent, his height being 5 feet llf inches, and weight list 71b, as against 5 feet 8 inches and 9st 121b, the dimensions of Colless, who is 25 years old, Tagg being three years younger. Citizen Q, Capt Hawkins, accom- panied the race with a goodly number of spectators, among whom 6 to 4 soon grew into 3 to 1 on Tagg, and even then the backers of Colless had not sufficient confidence in their man to back him largely, or were frightened at the odds, for very little money changed hands. Colless first showed at half- past two, accompanied by old John Phelps to take him over the course, and rowing in one of Biffen's boats. He was soon followed by Tagg in an old Biffen, John Mackinney's services having been engaged as pilot for the Moulsey man. The umpires were Wilcox for Colless and Hammerton for Tagg, Newnham was again referee. The course was 1' utn ey to Mortlake, and Mr and the stake £ 25 a side. The men drew alongside each other at a quarter to three, Tagg on the Middlesex side, and after a false start, owing to Colless's anxiety, got off on even terms. Tagg, however, led the instant afterwards, and with an obvious desire to take it all out of his opponent in the first half mile, put the pace on, and consequently rowed very short and unevenly. Colless, on the contrary, rowed a pretty stroke, but it was at the same time unfinished;;" and although he' rowed with great game, it was evident at the London boathouse that he possessed no last- ing powers, for already had Tagg taken his water. He now settled down into a magnificent stroke, in which the swing of the arms and body was perfect, and then rapidly, and also with the greatest ease, placed a large gap between the boats. At Craven he led by two lengths besides his own; at Crab Tree by another, and at Hammersmith Bridge, reached in lOmin 2sec, by five or six, Colless throughout never ceasing his efforts to alter the state of things. At the Oil Mills Tagg led by eight lengths, and then he encountered such a wind as made it no treat to row against it. Mackinney, however, brought him well in shore, and although his boat threatened several times to sink under him and his sculls to leave his hands, he was rowing about three feet to one of his opponent's, who being unused to the water was in great trouble. Faster and faster, through a blinding squall of rain and dead noser did, Tagg widen the gap till he was nearly out of sight, when, by an error in judgment, he took the wrong side of a string of barges being towed up by the Jupiter, and had to row right round the bight along the Surrey shore nearing Barnes. Old John Phelps, seeing this, took Colless under the stern of the barges on to the Middlesex shore, and he was so rapidly nearing Tagg that he must have gained 120 or 130 yards, and Tagg's friends were in great trepidation but fortunately the Jupiter eased, and coming into his course again a little above the Duke's bathing place, Tagg passed under Barnes Bridge nearly a minute before his opponent, in 22| minutes. Between here and home he gained some 25 seconds, owing to spurting against a sculler, and reached the Old Ship a winner by full 300 yards. Time, 26min 26sec. _____ SHIFTING BALLAST. MB EDITOR : I have read in one of your late impressions a letter signed " Red with White Maltese Cross,'' in which the writer congratulates himself and the yachting public on the suc- cessful working of the new rule against carrying shot or other ballast for shifting on board racing yachts. I doubt his congratu- lations are somewhat premature, whioh he himself leads one to suppose may be his own feeling by the conclusion of his letter. When the " first excitement caused by the new rule had passed away, I suppose it was taken for granted— at least by those who had been instrumental in carrying the enactment— that the ques- tion had been disposed of for good, and that we would now have large entries at our regattas of yachts whose owners, loving fair and honest sailing, would not enter their vessels against clippers which were supposed to carry their canvas by dint of shot bags. This was all very well in theory, but what has been the actual re- sult ? Why, that the entries for the St George's Channel Eegattas have this year, with the exception of the Royal Mersey, been more meagre than had been seen for many years previously, so much so that at the Clyde, Kingstown, and Cork, with an occasional ex- ception, the Phryne, Surf, and Vindex were left to fight for the prize among themselves, whereas formerly ten and twelve entries were common enough. It was also predicted that we should now see our racing vessels with cut spars and clipped sails, and that the new craft which should be thereafter built would be of a more able and seaworthy class than the racing world had seen since ballast shifting had been practised. I am afraid, if those gentlemen were present at some of the past season's matches, that they must be beginning to feel not so sure of the omnipotence of their panacea for all the ills yacht racing suffers from. Any ofie who witnessed the Royal Mersey Regatta this summer, saw vessels come to the starting buoys with the same sails and spars which he might have seen them stagger under at the preceding season's matches; and at this race all the yachts could carry their reefed sails well enough, with one exception, and with regard to the exceptional craft, I have heard some say that her owner was a fool ( what for ?), and others that his vessel was a tub. I fancy that the prophets of able, seaworthy racing yachts, which were to have their advent in the golden days after the Shifting Ballast Prevention Bill was carried, will be somewhat asto- nished if they live till next summer and see yachts, which I hear are at present building, of greater length in proportion to their beam than any cutter I have heard of, with the exception of Wildfire, before she was made a schooner. And yet these vessels will race next year, and to make sure that they' have no shifting ballast on board, they will be searched before starting with a greater or less degree of scrutiny, regulated by the number of yachts to be examined in a very short space of time indeed. At one of the last regattas of this season a 60 ton and a 45 ton cutter started in a race with a strong breeze of wind, the former with a single reefed mainsail, and the latter with two reefs down, both of them having quite enough of it. For a long time the big one was going away anyhow she pleased, and had established a strong lead, when suddenly the little one came nearly upright, shook one of her reefs out, shifted for a larger jib, walked oat on her opponent's weather, and came in first. On the same day a 14 ton cutter started against a 24 tonner ; both had doutJe reefed mainsails, but at the conclusion of the race the 14 ton. ner had one of her reefs out, while her larger rival had still enough of it with her double reefed mainsail; the little one won. I say, iv the name of reason and common sense what inference am I to d'. raw . from all this ? Neither more nor less than that shifting bai'last ' ias not been abolished. Your correspondent ani- madverts on conduct of the Ecyal Victoria Yacht Club in advertising aaeir open race to" he sailed without re- striction as to . sails, hands, or b& Uast; it must have prophetic . foreboding m ihsii part Alzfct . the new rule would prove ineffectual, and I honour them for their common sense and farsightedness in doing so. In conclu- sion, my observations this season lead me to say most emphati- cally that the new rule haa proved a gigantic failure. In tha meantime, what must I as a racing man do ? Some would advise fighting my opponents with their own weapons, but if I cannot race with a clear conscience I shall drop it altogether. No one must suppose from the tenor of this letter that I do not disap- prove of shifting ballast as much as the most zealous of the pro- moters of the new system ; but I cannot see the faintest possi- bility of abolishing ballast trimming and yet leaving all racing men on an equality, the very necessity for a rule prohibiting the carrying of shot on board racing yachts proving that the written declaration which was formerly required could not be relied on.— Yours, & c, SEAWEED. NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION. LIFEBOAT SEEVICES.— DUNDALK, COUNTY LOUTH, OCT 8.-— During a heavy gale from E N. E. yesterday the schooner Arion ( M'Caul, master) of andfrem Workington for Drogheda, with coals, struck on the west side of the bar, opposite the Lighthouse. Being broadside on she immediately experienced the full fury of the high surf that was rolling at the time on the bar. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution, stationed at Dundalk, ob- serving the peculiar position of the vessel, immediately put off to the assistance of the crew, whom she afterwards safely brought ashore. SEATON CABEW, OCT 10.— The Eev John Lawson reports :— " This morning, about a quarter- past seven, the steam tug Energy, of Middlesborough, struck on the Tees Bar, and a quarter of an hour afterwards she entirely disappeared. There was a heavy sea on at the time, with the wind S. S. E. Though it was highly impro- bable that any assistance could be rendered, yet it was barely possible that some of the crew might be met with clinging to spars or life- buoys, the Seaton Carew lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was forthwith taken down and launched; but after remaining out above an hour, I regret to say, nothing could be seen of the poor men, three in number. Saturday evening.— We have just received the unexpected good news, from Middles- borough, that the three men who were supposed to have been lost when the steam tug Energy went down were saved. It appears that earlier in the morning, before the steamer was seen to % * e and go down, they had left her in their own boat and had gone out to sea and been taken up by a Prussian vessel. From this they afterwards got on board another Middlesborough steamer that had been plying for ships in the bay, and this evening they were safely brought back into the Tees.'' WALMEB, KENT, OCT 12.— Yesterday, while it was blowing hard from the S. S. W., and a heavy sea was running, signals of distress were observed to be flying from a vessel on the Goodwin Sands. The Walmer lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was at once manned and put off to the help of the crew. On ar- riving at the Sands it was found that the vessel was the ketch Snip, of Amsterdam, and that she was leaking fast, both het pumps being choked. The captain, fearing his vessel would break up, requested the lifeboat to remain by him till his vessel was in safety. The lifeboat assisted in getting the ketch off the Sands, and the Ramsgate steam tug arriving soon afterwards, the captain employed her to tow the ketch into the harbour, where she ar- rived about 11: 30 a. m., with loss of anchor and chain. DUNDEE, OCT 13.— The Italian schooner Ginlia, of Palermo, bound from Cronstadt to Dundee, with a cargo of flax, got on shore at the entrance of the Tay. It was blowing hard from 8. E. at the time, with a heavy sea running. The signals of distress of the vessel having been observed, the Dundee steamer Samson im- mediately proceeded down the river with a crew for the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution stationed at Buddon Ness. After arriving at the vessel in distress a warp was brought by the lifeboat from her to the steamer. The schooner was soon after- wards towed off the dangerous lee shore, and she and her crew of ten men were soon brought to a place of safety. PBINCE ALBERT AQUATIC CLUB.— The last four- oared race of the season of this club came off on Tuesday, Oct 13, the course being from Putney to Barnes Railway Bridge. Citizen B, Capt Whanslow, accompanied the race, with a large party on board. Capt Whanslow was umpire, and the race resulted as under:— Fenton's crew ( A. Gardner, H. Moore, H. Smith, A. Fenton, C. Lowson cox), 1; Kemp's crew ( J. Lowson, E. Gut- teridge, G. Clarke, C. Kemp, E. Barber cox), 2; Woolley's crew ( J. Beech, O. Spencer, W. Sanders, A. Woolley, H. Burton cox), 0; Wallace's crew ( T. Aldridge, J. Miller, T. Newland, E. Wallace, R. Lewis cox), 0. Upon the word to go being given they all dashed away together at a good pace, arid remained level till they reached the pier, where Fenton's boat began to show in front, and midway between the Star and Garter and Simmonds's was clear of the other crews, who were still level. With alternate shoots of a foot or two, each led till opposite the London Boat House. Here a spurt in Wallace's boat drew them half their length ahead, but the others drawing up, they were all three level again at the Point, Fenton leading them by two lengths. This order was maintained to Craven, when Kemp ac- quired the second place, but steering badly while making the shoot, the others had collared him again when the Soap Works were reached. Soon afterwards, owing to the race being so exciting and the boats so close, there was a slight foul, the oars touching, although not sufficiently so as to impede either crew. Immediately afterwards Wallace's crew began to tail off, and they passed under Hammersmith Bridge, Fenton leading by four or five lengths, Kemp's party half thqir length ahead of Woolley, and Wallace a couple of lengths astern of the third boat. As they neared the bottom of Chiswick Eyot Woolley put on a desperate spurt and drew level with Kemp, and they thus rowed to the top of the Eyot, where Fenton was five lengths ahead, and Wallace three or four lengths astern of the two. From here to the finish Kemp and Woolley continued to race side by side, alternately leading, and ultimately the former succeeded in getting the second money by half their length only. After the race was over Wallace's crew put in a claim of foul, which was not allowed. The two first boats, the Electric and Peabody, were built by E. Wyld of Lambeth. YACHTING IN FEANCE.— A match took place in the Argenteuil basin, Oct 4, under the auspices of the Cercle des Yachts de Paris. The distance sailed was twice round the basin, or about four miles and a half altogether. The competitors started with a pretty strong south wind at 1: 44, and the three first came in as follows :—• Etincelle 2: 52: 30, Atalante 2: 56: 49, Brise 3: 2: 5.— A 8ailing Match, got up by the Societe des Begates Parisiennes, was to have taken place on Sunday among the three series of boats at Argenteuil, In consequence, however, of the complete absence of wind the match had to be postponed to Oct 18. NOBFOLK AND NOBWICH ROWING CLUB.— This new acquatic club held its first meeting at Mr Worledge's, William the Fourth, 8t George's, Middle- street, Norwich, on Tuesday, Oct 13, when several members were enrolled, and several candidates proposed for ballot. On Saturday, Oct 24, the club will launch their first pair- oared boat, which " is a very pretty specimen, and a credit to the builder, Mr Mollett, of Norwich. The next fortnightly meet- ing will be held on Monday, Oct 26. W. Hemmings of Richmond will row J. Callas of the same place for £ 25 a side, from Putney to Mortlake, within six weeks from the first deposit; or Radford of Nottingham can be accom- modated on the same terms. Either match can be made at Salter's, the Feathers, Wandsworth, on Saturday, Oct 24, or an answer through Bell's Life will be attended to. John Williams of Manchester will take four lengths start of F, Kilsby of Lambeth from Putney to Chiswick Eyot, for £ 25 a side; or will row F.

Kilsby of Old Barge House will row T. Wise of Hammer- smith or J. Callas of Richmond, for £ 25 or £ 50 a side, from Put- ney to Mortlake, and will be at Bell's Life office at twelve o'clock on Thursday, Oct 22, prepared to make a match. J. Birch and R. Burrows will row any two youths in Manches- ter, for £ 25 a side, E. Idle and J. Livesey preferred; to row on the same day as Ault and Lang. A match can be made any night at the Hare and Hounds, Albert- street. THE RESOLUTE.— It appears that the Right Hon T. M. Gibson has been cruising in his cutter yacht the Resolute on the coasts of Portugal and Spain as well as those of France. Oct 10.— Arrived at Erith, from Edinburgh, the schooner Maria, 84 tons, C. Birch, having experienced strong head winds and very heavy weather, especially on the 7th, when it blew a gale. Sailed on the llth for Wivenhoe. PIGEON SHOOTING.

Bill Page, the celebrated pigeon shot, of the Grapes, Gerard- street, Boho, since his installation as maitre d'hoteL declines to speak of his own renown as a marksman in the field, believing that " a bird in hand is always worth two in a bush," and having now but one object to aim at, namely, the supplying of the best articles in the shape of wines, spirits, liquors, & c, at a reasonable tariff, he hopes to secure continued success by the support of his friends and customers. On the premises are a magnificent bil- liard room, with an elegantly- fitted conservatory, and a compact saloon parlour for social conversazione. The match between Page and Beale, for £ 100 a side, is now off, the latter having forfeited the £ 5 staked. Page is now open to make a match with any man in the world to shoot at 100 sparrows, for any sum of money from £ 50 to £ 200 a side. A match can be made any day by a visit to the " Grapes." At Mr Lumb's, the Lilley Arms, Northend, Fulham, on Mon- day, Oct 12, there was a great muster, and the handicap filled to " the number of 26, and after some good shooting Mr Moss took the first prize, Mr Tee the second, and Mr May the third. On Monday, Oct 19, a handsome chased cup will be given to be shot for free, at sparrows, 19 and 21 yards rise. Offer will supply the birds.

On Tuesday, Oct 20, several sweepstakes are made to come © ff at starlings, spar- rows, & e. The above grounds can be engaged at any time for private shooting on application to the manager, Mr J. Pudney, Backchurch- lane, Commercial- road. Hammond supplies the birds. At T. B. Tommas's Eoyal Uni ® n Grounds, Victoria Park, Birch- field, near Aston, on Monday, Oct 10, the weather fortunately being all that could be desired for out- door amusement, the lovers of the trigger mustered in strong force, to witness the undermentioned matches, which came off soon after three o'clock. Messrs Jenks and Heath made their appear- ance on the ground to shoot a match, at 5 starlings eaci\, for £ 10, on the usual conditions, which was won by Mr JenkR-*\\' aing 3 to Mr Heath's 1. Immediately after, preparations were tv, for the match of the day, viz, to shoot for a pony, 12 bant<-" igh, for which 24 members contended, at 10s each ; conditions / starlings each, single guns ljoz of shot, double guns ( use of one barrel l| oz of shot, neither to exceed fin bore, 20 yards rise. 60 yards bound- ary.

Noon ( second ticket) 5, Mr Lowe 4, Mr Edwards 4, Capt Jones 4, and Mr Genn 4. A sweepstakes afterwards followed, the same conditions as above, by 16 members, at 5s each, when, after some close shooting, Messrs Jones and Dickens tied, killing 3 each, and agreed to divide. The birds were of the first quality, supplied by Simpson of Aston. From the field to the house a move was made, where the host, T. B. Tommas, had provided a sumptuous dinner, which was; served up in his usual style, and to appearance was acceptable to his numerous guests assembled. At Mr Heath's, Hop Pole, Lawley- street, Birmingham, on Mon- day, Oct 12, the large room was thrown open for the winter season, for ratting sweepstakes, for dogs of all merits, at which a large company assembled to witness the sport. 10 subscribers en- tered.

MACE AND RYALL.— These men have again come up to the scratch with £ 10 a side. They make a further deposit of £ 10 a side at our office on Friday, Oct 23. We understand they con- template ut once going into training. FIGHTS FOR TUESDAY. ^ SDEN AND COOPER'S BIG ONE, £ 50 A SIDE.— The whole of the" 1..- ,4ey for this match is now down. The men fight, we believe, on Tuesday at catch weight. Marsden takes up his quarters on Oct 18 at Bob Travers's, Sun and Thirteen Cantons, Castle- street. He is very well and confident. He is a fine made young fellow, quite 6ft high, and will weigh about 13st. Cooper's Big One, whose real name is O'Baldwin, stands 6ft7jin, and will weigh 15st. He hails from Richardson's, Blue Anchor, Church- street. At both the above named houses particulars may be known. It must be distinctly understood that, under present circumstances, we distinctly decline to name a referee for this or any of the other matches fixed for this week, TYSON AND MORRIS, £ 50 A SIDE.— These light weights also fight, as at present advised, on Tuesday, Oct 20, in the home circuit. They staked the final deposit of £ 15 a side witli us on Friday, Oct 16. Dan Morris will start from Bob Travers's, while Tyson will take up his quarters at Bill Tupper's, Boar's Head, Long- acre, where the tip may be ascertained. FURZE AND NAPPER, £ 25 A SIDE.— These lads, who fight on Tuesday at 8st 41b, have made their money good. They go to scale on Monday, between twelve and two, at Mr Glancy's, Jacob's Well, Barbican, where Napper takes up his quarters, and also at Mr Richardson's, Blue Anchor, Church- street, where Furze will hold his levee. THE " STANDARD" ON THE RING. The following able article in the Standard so thoroughly har- monises with our own feelings on the present state of the P. ll., that we make no apology whatever for transferring it to our columns. " We may not approve altogether of pugilistic encounters. They constitute, some say, the safest vent for that rough cou- rage which must be kept alive in the commonalty of every great nation. If boys and men will not " have it out" in fisti- cufis, they possibly might take to sticks or daggers. This would be rather un- English and undesirable. So of the two evils we choose the least, and we are willing rather to wink at a fair stand- up fight, though barbarous in itself, than see a foreign and mur- derous usage creep gradually in among our people. It must be borne in mind that there is such a trade as war in the country; and that until this dies out we ought not to visit with a too severe censure one of the exercises which make brave and bold soldiers. It is no bad training for standing a charge of cavalry or bayonets to be able and accustomed to give and receive rough usage ou the body manfully. A good pugilist is always a good soldier. Shaw, the Waterloo " hero, took his first lessons in the Ring, and there became a kind of celebrity. We are not speaking of a milk- and- water people, but of Englishmen, accustomed to hold their own and defend it with becoming spirit and effect. We want a nation of brave men and of honourable women. We require volunteers, militiamen, sailors, and soldiers; and wives and daughters to en- courage and co- operate with these. In this way a gallant race will be preserved and perpetuated, the country will be secure, the nation great and prosperous, and the kingdom will go down to unimpaired and worthy successors. We would see all athletic games promoted among the people under the public eye and with proper regulations. Wrest- ling in its best sense, not kicking; running, throwing quoits, hockey, cricket, fencing, boat- racing, horse- riding, and other similar exercises, should, be encouraged in preference to personal battles. But the art of self- defence with tbe fists may also have its amount of countenance without any serious injury to the true morality of the population. All this to be effectual for any man- ner of good implies conduct and discipline, and the absence of blackguardism and brutality in every shape. Can we say that this patriotic view of our national sports is applicable to the pre- sent management of the Prize Ring? Is not this, in fact, of all our games, the worst exception? Can trickery and fraud go farther than among the scenes nightly practised in the public- houses, which are the special resorts of pugilists? We do not say that it is either the interest or the wish of the landlords or the leading men, fighters and backers, to encourage underhand and nefarious dealings. But these notoriously go on, and, indeed, appear to constitute the principal business of the gathering. To sell and betray, to deceive and cheat, in the spirit of the meanest gamblers, is the study of many a fellow who makes a livelihood by either hankering around or entering the Prize Ring. Of course there are honourable exceptions even here ; but these it must be owned are few, and are, we are assured, becoming unfortunately rarer every daj'. In this way alone can we account for the extra- ordinary falling off of the Prize Ring in public estimation. Thirty and forty years ago it was the noble rage of the day. Every man who aspired to be a gentleman and a man of spirit knew some- thing of pugilism, and thought well of the act. The professors, too, were held in respectable account. Such men as Guily, Crib, Spring, Molyneux, and Reynolds, found ready patronage and admission among aristocrats of genuine pre- tension and of the highest, mental stamp. It was not then, how- ever, the fashion for a number of bricklayers' labourers to quit their hods and take to the Ring as a kind of idle and profitable calling. The athletce of that day were altogether of a different race, class, and character. There was such a thing as strict honour among them. When this expired, or only appeared at scattered intervals, all respectable support and countenance fell off from the Prize Ring, and the public came in time to regard pugi- listic encounters, not, perhaps, entirely as brutal and degrading, but as unfair and gambling and low- lived. Finally the law stepped in to banish them the country; and from that time to the great contest between Sayers and Heenan the Prize Ring nny be said to have lived on in disgrace and under censure and oppro- brium. That event, as we all know, gave a momentary impetus to regular pugilism. But the public mind seemed made up to discountenance the practice as fraudulent and barbarous, and as stimulating to quarrels and ruffianism. The recent efforts of some wags in the Saturday Beview and of writers in other jour- nals have scarcely helped to render the Ring popular, or to miti- gate the scoundrelism which seems to be ingrained in the calling. Of this a recent scene at ' Bell's Life office furnishes a decisive proof. That journal may be well said to have fought a hard fight to maintain the honour of the Prize Ring and of all our other na- tional sports. As its fair reward it was almost universally re- garded as the high court and umpire of sporting matters, the judge of differences, doubts, and quarrels. It became the referee of that numerous class called the sporting world in this country, not alone by its authoritative answers to inquiries in its columns, but palpably and bodily in the person of its admitted editor. Well, after years of genuine labour by this clever journal in the cause and interest of the Prize Ring and of pugilists, to what conclusion has it been compelled to arrive at last? We quote the very words of the editor in the last issue:—" We are requested by the pro- prietors 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 pre- sent 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." This is rather a striking notification, and one which will no doubt have its effect on the general public, if not on the pugilists themselves. But some of our readers, most likely not up in these matters, may ask the cause of our sporting contemporary's severe and ultimate de- cision. The account is simply this, which we also give, with some curtailment, in Bell's Life's own graphic . language, first premising that the case referred to was a recent fight between two pugilists, Gannon and Baldock, and to a charge made by the friends of the former that Baldock wilfully caused himself to be arrested by the police. Here is the passage alluded to :—" On Thursday the re- presentatives 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 instruments to blind our eyes to justice. Evidence was laid before us by Gannon's friends, which, coupled with inquiries we 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, who assailed us and our, reporter with the vilest abuse; and Baldock| and; another, with frightful oaths, declared that they would take the life of our Ring reporter the first time they caught him in the streets. 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." This would appear to be the finish of the Prize Ring in England, unless, indeed, the whole conduct of that " noble institution" shall be altered. Two or three heavy fights, we believe, are to come off, but it needs only the general expression of public opinion to make these impracticable on any spot in this country. We must own to some natural inklings of English regret that an art which was to discipline and regulate an old national way of settling a quarrel among a class of persons not, readily amenable to any higher or purer restriction has thus fallen away so igno- miniously and basely. But if the Prize Ring were to last much longer as recently managed, the fair stand- up light of Englishmen — that rude safeguard from the introduction of the bludgeon, the knife, and the revolver— would be for ever lost to England. GANNON AND BALDOCK.— Gannon has requested us to state, which we do with pleasure, that the person who threatened the life of our reporter, and whom we stated to be Myers the pedes- trian, was Baldock's brother, and that instead of Myers being • connected with the Baldock party, he was the trainer of Gannon, and was with him at Mr Pryor's at the time of the scene in our office. It gives us pleasure to make the amende, and to state that . Myers is a well- conducted young fellow, and would be the last so to misconduct himself. While on the subject of this match, we may mention t> j, t the scene at our office has been described in all the dailj vA', an4 with the usual accuracy of the penny- a- liners, wh; jply such sensation articles, it has been stated that we acted eferee on the occasion. It is scarcely necessary to say that wt- riave not personally attended a mill for several years, and that neither did we, nor any representative of our journal, act as referee in this disgraceful affair. The unthankful office was filled, as it generally has been of late, by the acting commissary of the Ring, who is paid out of the stakes for his services. MALLEY ( ALIAS BLUEY) AND YOUNG CUTLER OF BIRMING- HAM.— These lads met on Tuesday morning, Oct 13, nearthe May- pole, on the Alcester road, five miles from Birmingham, at an early hour, in spite of a drizzing rain that fell, to contend at 7st 61b, for £ 20. As Cutler was known from his former deeds to be a game lad his friends were very sanguine, and they started by lay- ing the odds of 6 to 4, which were taken by Malley's friends. The condition of both men was first- rate, Malley, if anything, looked a bigger man than Cutler at his weight, but they appeared pretty equally matched. Malley was attended by Tom Allen and Jack Mack, and Cutler by Tom Lane and Posh Price. As soon as ready, the men commenced business, and after a little manoeu- vring, Cutler, who was over anxious to get to work, invested i slightly on the mouthpiece, drawing the claret ( first blood ' for Cutler) from Malley, who returned heavily on Cutler's temple; they then closed, when Malley succeeded in throw- ing Cutler heavily. Nothing worthy of note occurred in the next four rounds, the exchanges being pretty equal. In the sixth round Cutler placed a rattler on Malley's cranium, which for a time appeared to bother him, but he quickly recovered himself, and so changed his style of fighting, that in the eleventh round even money was betted. From the 12t, h round the tide turned in favour of Malley, who was quick and nimble on his pins, and got ou to Cutler with impunity round after round, although not with punishing power. Cutler's friends at length seeing it would be useless to continue the fight, as he could not use his right with any effect, after contending for 55min, 46 rounds, threw up the sponge iti token of defeat. GEE AND BLANDFORD.— TWO novices named Bob Blandford and Bogey Gee fought on Wednesday, for £ 5 a side, after an interrup- tion on the previous day. There were 47 rounds in 67 minutes, and Gee was compelled to give in, having had the worst of it throughout. IKE BAKER AND JOE Goss.— We have received articles and £ 5 a side for this match. The men fight on Deo 2, on the home cir- cuit. The articles state that £ 10 a side is dowa. How is it that only £ 5 a side has reached us ? They are to stake £ 5 each weekly till further notice.

AMATEUR FOOT RACE AT NEWMARKET FOR £ 200 A SIDZ. Captain Machell's and Captain Chadwicke's match to run 10 ® yard*, for ± 200 a side, came off on Thursday morning, Oct 15. on the turnpike- road near the Severals, close to the town of Newmarket. The match, which excited an unusual degree of interest among the aristocratic admirers of pedestrianisin, had been made for some length of time, and both gentlemen had been in active training for several months, Captain Machell having the assistance of Hancock, the pedestrian, of Manchester, and Captain Chadwicke that of Wybrow of London. There had been a great deal of betting, and many heavy investments at several previous race meetings and the clubs had taken place, firstjsf at evens, but the first- rate pedestrian qualities of Captain Machell soon became known, and for the last three weeks 70 to 40 had been freely laid upon him. The time fixed for the race to be decided was ten o'clock a. m., and by that hour, although the rain poured down in torrents, there could not have been less than ten thousand persons present, including a great many noblemen and gentlemen, and several " notables,'' among whom we noticed John Heenan, who is train- ing at Newmarket for his great match, and who looks decidedly much improved in condition. Tom King was also present, look- ing remarkably well; Owen Swift, Lang and Mills, the pedes- trians, and many other public men, far too numerous to mention. At a few minutts after the appointed hour the competitors ap- peared on the ground, both looking in admirable condition ; and tbe preliminaries having been satisfactorily adjusted, and Mr Clarke, the judge of the racing, who was referee, having taken his place, the pedestrians immediately appeared at the scratch in rac- ing costume. Captain Machell is a'bout 23 years of age, 5 feet 9 inches in height, with a fine chest, back, and loins, and exceedingly well limbed; in fact, he is remarkably well built, and looks like a man capable of accomplishing a great un- dertaking. Captain Chadwicke is about 27 years of age, stands 5 feet 10 inches in height, and is well put together throughout. It was agreed to start by the report of a pistol, and either man making a false start was to be put back a yard; and Captain Machell having made a false move was put back that distance. At the second attempt a good start was effected, and before three yards had been covered Captain Machell obtained the lead, and bounded over the ground at a splitting pace which really asto- nished the spectators. He continued to gain ground every stride he took, and in spite of the great exertion that his gallant oppo- nent made to obtain the victory he was doomed to disappoint- ment, for Captain Machell was pronounced the winner by six yards, accomplishing the distance in ten seconds and three- quar- ters, but had he been pressed he could have done it in less time. It w as said he ran his trial in ten seconds. At the opening of the betting 2 to 1 was laid upon Captain Machell, but when his great trial became generally known, almost any odds were freely laid upon him; in fact, £ 500 to £ 100 was laid just as they started. On Wednesday evening several matches were run among the noble- men and gentlemen in front of the rooms for small wagers, and one young nobleman while running slipped, and went. to grief quite unexpectedly. PEDESTRIANISM AT HACKNEY WICK- MILE HANDICAP.— On Monday, Oct 12, there were fully 2,000 spectators assembled on J. Baum's enclosed ground, it being the benefit of the celebrated Tom King, who has to contend with J. Heenan in December next for £ 2,000, this being the last time that King would appear in public before entering upon his traiu- ing duties. In addition to the customary sparring, the above handicap race, for money prizes, was decided, this portion of the day's proceedings being under the management of W. Price, the M. C, of the ground. The competitors who had entered had been fairly handicapped, and took up their positions thus:— Richards ( the Welshman) 5U, Brunell of Stepney 75, Armitage 195, Wilkin- son 195, Howes of Stepney 120, Sutton 160, Gilder 195. When the men had been fairly got at their allotted stations, the signal to start was given, and on the instant they bounded off, the whole of them going away with a simultaneousness of action that is seldom to be seen when the men have to dash off' from different points. Armitage, Gilder, and Wilkinson, from the position they held at start, were the three leading pedestrians, and they made the running at a slashing pace, followed by Sutton, while in the rear of the last- named man came Howes and Brunell. Richards brought up the tag end of the " team,'' but from the fine style in which he was getting over the ground, it was evident there must be a deal of fine, excellent running displayed on the part of his competitors if they hoped to keep him out from being among the winning three at the finish. When the men went by the referee for the commencement of the last quarter of a mile, the leading competitors were Gilder, Wilkinson, and Sutton, and between this trio the interest of the race for the remainder of the distance was entirely centred, as the others now began to drop out," when they found they had no chance. Between the competitors above- mentioned a fine struggle took place for the palm of supremacy, and as they came bounding along they were again and again hailed with deafening applause. When the men went by for the commencement of the seventh and last lap Wilkinson was leading, Gilder lying next in rotation, while in the rear of the last- mentioned man came Sutton. Gilder, as the men raced in gallant style along the back of the course, made the most strenuous efforts to close up the gap between himself and opponent, but to no purpose. Wilkinson, who was running ad- mirably, proved himself equal to all that was required of him at this critical crisis of the struggle, for as they came round the bend of the course, he gradually widened the space between them, and on the termination of this very capital race went in a winner by 10 yards; Sutton, in the rear of the two leading men, likewise maintained the interest of the race with much spirit, as he finished a good third, being some two yards in the rear of Gilder. The sparring was of a first- rate description, and the whole of the pro- ceedings passed off in the most satisfactory manner. PEDESTRIANISM AT BOW. E. REED OF BERMONDSEY AND TAYLOR OF WOOLWICH.— On Saturday, Oct 10, these pedestrians attended C. Wilson's enclosed ground, the Olympia, Bow, to contend for supremacy in a spin of 150 yards, for £ 10 a side, Taylor receiving two yards start. There was a good muster of the Metropolitans present, and a deal of betting took place on the result, the odds of 2 to 1 at the close being freely laid on Reed. In appointing the officials, Mr Rob- son of Poplar was selected to discharge the duties of referee, and on the competitors coming to the scratch, it was at a glance seen they were ail that could be desired in condition. The pedestrians had to go by mutual consent, but if not away in 15 minutes were to start by report of pistol. Both in turn came away from the mark several times without succeeding in getting fairly off, but when the allotted quarter of an hour had nearly expired, and just as the referee was about to give instructions for the pistol to be brought into requisition, the pedestrians once more darted from their respective stations, and this time it was seen that they got fairly away. The start had been admirably effected, and on such level terms that there was not the slightest advantage gained on the part of either. Taylor, therefore, with the given two yards, headed his man, made the running at a clipping place, and when 80 yards of the distance had been covered had still the advantage of the lead. Taylor, however, was not longer to hold the ad- vantage, for now Reed closed up the gap between them, and after a fine struggle to the goal went in a winner by a yard, the success of the Bermondsey clipper being hailed with deafening ap- plause. When Taylor found his man was about to pass him, lie in a most unfair and improper manner made an attempt to prevent Reed from doing so. Reed, however, in a skilful man- ner got free from the intended " collision" on the part of liis opponent, and the manifest unfairness with which Taylor at- tempted to behave towards him caused the spectators to express their disapprobation in a very marked and decided manner. Although the act ended in a contemptible failure on the part of Taylor, and, as stated, he was defeated by his opponent fairiv on his merits, yet anything in effect more opposed to principles of " fair play, or more opposed to those regulations that are looked upon as the laws of pedestrian matches, lias never before been witnessed. MR R AND MR B .— This was a match of 100 yards, for £ 5 a side, between two gentlemen amateurs* The betting was even, and there was a good deal of money specu- lated, as the race created considerable interest among the immediate friends of the competitors. In settling the preliminaries, James Pudney, the M. C. of the ground, was chosen referee. The start had to be made by report of pistol, and on getting off so much more readiness did Mr li. display than his opponent in making the " break," that he obtained the lead by nearly a yard. The competitors went rattling along at a good pace, and for fully 80 yards Mr R. maintained the advantage of position, and had contested the struggle in such admirable style that his friends looked upon victory as certain. As, however, they came near the goal, Mr B. succeeded in closing on his man, and so well together were they at the finish that the referee de- cided they had run a dead heat. As both were willing to put their speed to a fresh trial, they arranged to run the match off without delay; and after an interval of ten minutes, for the purpose of getting their " pipes" in order, came to the mark for the second time. On the pistol being fired they bounded off in capital order, the lead again taken by Mr R., who now kept command of the position from end to end, and, after another finely- contested race, breasted the cords a winner by a bare yard. COOKE AND RIGG.— These men came on the ground to run 80 yards, for £ 5 a side. From the start the pedestrians raced well together until near the finish, when Cook dashed away from his opponent, and went in a winner by a yard. ROYALL AND CAMPBELL.— This was a spin of a quarter of a mile, for £ 5 a side, and when the referee had been appointed the pedestrians came to the mark, and had the appearance of being in excellent fettle. The betting was even, or if anything in the shape of odds Campbell for choice. The me » started by report of pistol, and on commencing the struggle ran well together until about 310 yards of t& e distance had been aeeomplislied. Thus far the men had run remarkably close together, at most there not being more than a yard or two between them, so that the race was full of in- terest. Now, however, as the men speeded on, Royall gave the most unmistakable proof that he was no longer able to contest, the match in the same even style he had done. Campbell, as they came " pushing'' along, put on some extra " steam," and this at once gave him a commanding lead ; for although Royall, when his man spurted away, strained every nerve to the utmost to close on him, he could not succeed. From this turn in the race it was apparent that he was to all intents and purposes a beaten man, for he now fell rapidly in the rear, Campbell on the finish going in an easy winner. EDMONDS AND REES — These men, who had to run 200 yards, for £ 20 a side, were, according to arrangement, to have decided their event on the above ground. The match, however, did not come off', owing to Rees objecting to let such well- known and able men as Mr C. Wilson ( the proprietor of the ground), W. Price, H. A. Reed, or J. Pudney discharge the duties of referee. Edmonds then, we understand, was willing for Rees to name any one he chose; and Rees still refusing, we consider Edmonds, who ran over the distance, entitled to the stakes, which he can have on Thursday, at twelve o'clock. DIXON AND CLARKE.— On Monday, Oct 12, there was again a good attendance here to witness the seven mile walking match between the above pedestrians, for £ 10 a side, Clarke being al- lowed 50 yarfls. J. Jacques was appointed referee, and in betting Dixon was the favourite at 5 to 4. On the start being made, Clarke, with his given advantage, went rattling along at his best and most commanding pace, but when the men came by for the completion of the first lap, it was apparent, from the diminution that had already been made in the gap that separated them, Dixon had a decided turn of speed. When the first mile had been accomplished, Dixon had gained fully 15 yards on his man, and altogether such decided superiority did he evince that his friends became more than ever sanguine, aud offered to back him freely at increased odds. While contesting the second and third mile Dixon continued to further " pull in" on his opponent, and had made such a change in their relative positions that when three miles and a half of the distance had been covered he had succeeded in wresting the lead from his man. From the instant Dixon had passed his competitor the interest in the match sub- sided, for Clarke, who was completely outpaced, fell more and more in the rear, and on the termination of the distance was fully 150 yards to the bad. Indeed, for what chance Clarke had of winning he might have pulled up and retired from the struggle when passed. The seven miles were accomplished by Dixon in lh 30sec. Guss AND MATHEWS.— These men came on the ground to run 120 yards, for £ 5 a side, Mathews receiving five yards start. J. Pudney acted as referee, and at evens there was a little of the needful speculated. The competitors arranged to go by mutual consent; if not away in fifteen minutes, then to go by pistol. The men remained on the mark the specified time without succeeding in making a fair start, therefore the pistol had to be brought into use. When the referee had duly appointed a qualified person to officiate as starter, the men once more came to the mark. On getting away Mathews, with his two yards start, made race at a clipping pace, and notwithstanding the efforts of his opponent he maintained the lead all through, and went by the goal an easy winner, Guss having not the slightest chance, as he lost the race by double the distance he had allowed at the start. CHARLES AND CHITTENDEN.— These men catne on the ground to contend in two matches, the first a spin of 200 yards, and the second a quarter of a mile race for £ 5 a side. The competitors left, the course equal winners, as Charles proved successful in the spin of 200 yards, defeating his opponent with considerable ease ; while Chittenden, afterjja fine animating struggle, proved trium- phant in the quarter of a miie race, defeating his opponent by not more than half a yard. There was besides the foregoing a race of two miles, in which a sporting L. V. had for a " fiver" undertaken to run the above mentioned distance, the conditions of the match being that if he did not run the race right out at one start he was to lose. " Old Hoops" rolled along, lap after lap, like an animated beer barrel, and although towards the last his bellows were " screaming" like bagpipes in full play, still he persevered with such undeniable gameness and resolution that he went the whole distance, accomplishing it in 17min 30sec. PEDESTRIANISM AT WANDSWORTH. HOLLINGSWORTH AND TIMMINGS.— On Monday, Oct 12, these men met on G. Woody's enclosed ground to walk six miles, fair heel and toe, for £ 5 a side, there being present a strong muster of their respective aamirers. The competitors had to pass the referee twenty- four times to accomplish the distance, and when the cus- tomary preliminaries had been adjusted the pedestrians came to the starting mark. The betting was even, and there was a good deal of the needful speculated on the result. On the start being effected the competitors went off' in capital order, the lead from the commencement of the struggle being taken by Hollings- worth, who, when the men came by for the completion of the first lay, had succeeded in placing a gap of some three or four yards between them. During the performance of the first mile the lead was maintained by Hollingsworth, this portion of the distance having been completed in 8min 40sec. As the pedes- trians entered upon the second mile Hollingsworth was some 10 or 15 yards in advance, and from the fine style in which he had gone away with the lead his partisans became more than ever sanguine. Throughout the whole of the second mile ( 19min 25sec) there was not the least change effected in the posi- tion of the men, as Hollingsworth had still the lead of about a dozen yards. It was evident that he was walking quite within the " compass'' of his power, therefore had yet a little bit extra left in him when he thought fit to put it on. The first three miles of the match were accomplished in 26min 30sec; four miles in 36min 40sec ; five miles being " tooled off"' in 45min 20sec. Thus far the lead had all through been in favour of Hollingswotth, who, as they went by for the beginning of the sixth and last mile, still headed his oppo- nent by something like a dozen yards. The advantage of posi- tion was maintained by Hollingsworth, until the last half mile of the distance, when Timmings came to the fore, and on the com- pletion of the 24th and last lap, went in a winner by more than 20 yards ; the six miles being done by the winner in 55min 17sec. STEERS AND WHITE.— These men also walked four miles for a fiver a side, Steers being allowed one minute. No sooner had White gone in pursuit of his opponent, than he gained on him rapidly, and had so improved his position, that when three miles of the distance had been accomplished he was well to the fore. The instant Steers had been passed by his opponent he pulled up and resigned, so that White had to walk the fourth and last mile by himself. ST HELENA GARDENS, HULL. MR DEUSON'S 220 YARDS HANDICAP.— On Monday and Tues- day, Oct 12 and 13, there was a good attendance at the grounds to witness the heats in a 220 yards and a mile handicap, the pro- prietor of the grounds giving £ 10 to be contested for.

Fields dashed off at a ripping pace, and soon had all his opponents beaten excepting Siddons, who was several yards in the rear, when Fields, through a mistake on the part of the referee, gave up, and allowed Siddons to go over the remaining lap by himself.— Second heat: Fenton 60, 1; Chapman 75, 2; Taylor 85, 3; Brown 70, and Watson 95, also ran. Fenton gradually crept up to his opponents, and in the sixth lap held a clear lead of them all, which he maintained throughout, and won a good race by a dozen yards.— Third heat: Young Kay 85, 1; Winter's Lad 100, 2; Crossling, 95, 3; the Sweep 30, Coverdale 75, and Tows 60, also ran. Coverdale dashed off at a tremendous pace, but resigned in the second lap; Kay next held the lead throughout, closely pressed by the Lad, and won a good race by a dozen yards.— Final heat: Young Kay 85, 1; Siddons 100, 2 ; Fenton 60, absent. Kay speedily passed his opponent, and won easily by 20 yards. The proprietor officiated as referee, and gave general satisfaction. HAREW00D ARMS, LEEDS, AND NEIGHBOURHOOD. SATURDAY, OCT 10.— KNUR AND SPELL.— The match be- tween Wade of Adwalton and Horrocks of Gildersome was played for £ 15 a side, this day, at the Cardigan Arms.

Seward's dog Venture to destroy 100 rats in eight minutes, Mr Tupper staking £ 15 to £ 10 against the dog, came off at, Mr Cheese's, Bayswater, the Brewery Tavern. The dog won by nearly a mi- nute to spare, the novelty of the match being that it took place in a pit 45 yards in circumference, and it would seem that Venture had been well trained by his owner, the once- noted pedestrian, as he ran round the circus at great speed, picking up the vermin, even when more than one showed fight and hung to him.

The show of home- grown Wheat at Mark- lane this morning was limited, but there was a larger show of foreign; the former was steady at Monday's rates, the latter dull at prices inclining to buyers. Flour quiet at previous rates. Barley was in slow request at late reduction in value. There was very little passing in Oats, and some kinds could be bought cheaper. For Beans there was but few inquiries at Monday's decline of is per qr. Peas were in slow request at unaltered figures. The continental corn markets have been uniformly heavy, wit hi > ut the least appearance of prices rallying.

Price's be w b Sapling, by Seacombe— Patience We met at StPierre Lodge on Thursday; hares were very scarce, or driven from their usual lying place by the earthquake and rough weather, as we took all day to decide six oourses. On Friday we had better sport, as hares were more plentiful at Tre- degar than we have seen them at all, and we had several good trials. The puppies that took our eye most were Joan of Arc, a small but very muscular bitch on short good legs, with fair average speed, very clever with her hare, and great enduring powers. She put me very much in mind of her dam, old Glowworm. Bron- wen is no disgrace to sire or dam, and will see a better day. Kidley, when matured, and one or two others, will be heard of again. In the Kuperra Castle Stakes Patent ran like a greyhound should, and the man that has a better dog, and half Mr Price's luck, will win the Waterloo Cup. In the St Pierre Stakes, Re pealed Hop Duty struck me as being the best dog puppy I have seen this year, and won his courses in masterly style, showing speed and cleverness. Mr Warwick took great pains to arrive at a just conclusion, and the beaten men were satisfied. An infusion of new blood into the club, a little more interest from the trades- men of Newport, " stumping" up of past due subscriptions, & c, & c, will make this club, coupled with the great liberality of the lord of the soil, a first- class meeting ; that such may be the ease is the wish of yours, & c, E.

UPTON- ON- SEVERN STEEPLE CHASES.— We are requested to draw the attention of owners of steeple chase horses to the time of closing ( Tuesday next) for the principal races at this meeting ( see Advertisement in our front page). From its proximity to the city of Worcester, and following immediately after that meeting, it affords an agreeable " wind- up" to the " Worcester week," and the entries to the different stakes are already large. The " Cup" is an elegant design, chosen by the Earl of Coventry, and is an excellent specimen of the manufacturer's art. The course is close to the town of Upton, and entirely grass.

ME EDITOR : Hare hunting has commenced in this locality in earnest, Mr Dear's clever little pack having killed already eight brace. There was an enjoyable meet this morning at the Cart and Horses, Wortley, near this city. A hare on that good sports- man's farm ( Mr Edward Bailey) soon gave us a gallop. A second shortly started, dividing the pack, about half going to the north, the remainder in the Winchester direction, which, after a merry run, devoured poor pussy before she could be reached. The pack were soon together again and another hare on the move, near Col Wall's Lodge. A clipping run ensued for about 25 minutes to the railway tunnel, four miles and a half from Winchester station. Here the hare went down the cutting ( upwards of 40 feet), up again soon. On meeting at the top one of the straggling hounds, she turned round and deliberately leaped down the embankment, falling dead on the rails, the hounds again having a feast. Hares are numerous, and good sport anticipated.— Tours, & c, GLAUCUS. Winchester, Oct 15,1863. THE SOUTH- WOLD HUNT PRIZE WHIPS.— The two hunting whips given by Capt Thomas Yorke Dallas, of Walmsgate, near Louth, were awarded this yearto Master G. Bett, of Benni worth, for the best dog ( Boxer), and to Mr Charles Birkinshaw, of Benni- worth, for the best bitch ( Brilliant). The whips are of cane, with silver mountings, and were made by Callow and Son, of Park- lane. HUNTING IN FRANCE.— The Prince de Wagram, " lieutenant of wolf hunting " in the department of the Seine- et- Oise, has just extended into the Seine- et- Marne the prerogatives which give him this title. Fox hunting will be formally commenced for the season at La Christinifere on Tuesday, October 20, when there promises to be a brilliant meet. On Tuesday, October 13, there was an opening day, when, after a burst of 35 minutes, in the course of which the fox four times crossed the Cond6 river, he was run to earth near that stream.

Although a noble, patriotic impulse has directed the best blood, thews, and sinews amongst British youth to the necessity of fami- liarising themselves to use the deadliest of modern military hand weapons, archery suffers no diminution of its muster roll, as was confidently foretold, when the volunteer movement sprang up. Old clubs rapidly enltrge themselves. There is one of very long standing at Harlow, iiatn, said to tell off its members by the hun- dred. Devon, Dorset., Wilts, and Somerset now reckon full thirty organised clubs to their own share. The last- named county has a pre- eminence! containing Mr and Mrs Hare among the shooters, and distributing on recent ordinary ga- therings beside, has realised a nation's hopes, by completely tranquillising the fears of non- combatants 011 the subject of con- tinental invasion. The latter weapon, the arrow, though claiming to be a robust, gentlemanly pastime merely, is still modestly sub- sidiary to the terrible missile that has superseded it. For our real archer celebrities, could any of them at once step forth as full blown rifle shots, since rapid, electric sympathy bet wixt eye and hand is indispensableto both. But the best of our gunners, even W. Roberts, winner of the Queen's prize, or the Rosses, of all whom it may be truly said, as was once popularly remarked of the arrows of our tall English yeomen, that they carried two dozen Frenchmen beneath their belts— these redoubtable rifle men could not without special training distinguish themselves at a bow meeting. The;/ would want that vice like, iron grip with the bowhand which tlie archer must cultivate, but they need not, and without which ths truest levelled shaft will, in archer's par- lance " Be short— gone— and on either side— wide!" It has been truly obseived that, speaking comparatively, archery has no literature. Thiee centuries since Roger Ascham made a similar remark in refecence to ancient days—" Men who under- stand shootinge," he says, " cannot write, and those who can write do not knowe shootings." Exactly the same rule will apply to modern times. While every other woodland sport reckons its authors by the score, very nearly a quarter of a century elapses without producing more than two archery books, viz Mr Har- grave's Anecdotes, Whifie father or grandfather is well remem- bered as an archer near. y a century since, and his little book has been deservedly well received. The second justly claims to be a scientific treatise, I mean Archery and, its Practice, by Mr Ford. Of course much was expected from a really practical man, who had disposed his readers to respect his axioms, by making for several consecutive yeais such scores as were unapproachable by his compeers in this century, and thrice as great as the very best bowmen of the last ever succeeded in putting on record. " At, the great meeting of Archers 011 Dulwich Common, in 1794," says a cotemporary journal, " the best prize fell to the Toxophilites— who had selected five of their best men to repre- sent them— Messrs Cazalet, Glen, Elwin, Rickards, and Green. They made conjointly 195hits. The diary of 1792 states that two famous Lancashire bowmen shot for a silver bow on Cannock Chase. At the close of a iong day's shooting, they had made 38 hits each. Anderson, thB best London archer of 80 years ago, whom they styled their " modern Robin Hood," never approached a score of 500," under any circumstances. Mr Ford's resignation, therefore, of the great gold champion medal into other liands at Bath, filled the public with surprise and with regret likewise. At least such were the feelings of all those who could appreciate the enthusiasm for his art, and the incessant practice, which alone could enable a man to maintain his position SJ long against all comers, including a bevy of good and ambitious archers The latest important English shooting match of the season was celebrated at a new and very beautiful suburban place of resort, called Alexandra Park, a rival to the park at Sydenham, and with special arrangements for bow practice. It comprises 480 acres of diversified land, beautifully wooded and watered, or 180 acres more than the Crystal Palace grounds. An archer, starting from almost any part of London, can be at work before the targets in about 15 minutes. At Alexandra Park it is already settled that the next Grand National Archery Meeting shall come off, and ap- propriately, for on this spot, now adorned with every elegant or- namentation of which landscape gardening is susceptible, there existed, several years ago, a large bow society, called The Woodmen of Hornsey, noticeable, inter alia, for the value of their prizes, two of which were a full- sized elaborately chased silver bugle, and a silver arrow of cloth- yard dimensions. That many archers, out of " All Britain's Eleven," which in- cludes the very creme de la creme of adroit modern bowmen, were there present, the style of shooting proved; and they, as a rule, bore off the handsome money prizes provided by the Alexandra directors; though, as the world knows, " the race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong.'' The ladies are not included in the foregoing remarks— they all did well; for in these pleasant sun and summer breeze diversions their whole heart appears with the game, and throughout the season have made scores worthy of those illustrious Ama- zonian dames of old, whose history graces many a classic page. As to the weather, the skyey influences smiled for once this season, being ail perfect— sunless, breezeless, dry, and genial. I venture to remark, some of those present distinguished them- selves unmistakably as archers ; others could only be re- garded as juveniles in their art. Who, not both very thoughtless and inexperienced, ever makes a walking- staff of his good and costly yew bow between target and target? No more de- cided evidence of tyroism could be exhibited. What game- sho<> ter ever makes the butt of his expensive Westley Richards breech- loader a climbing staff in traversing a grouse mountain, or lazily leans on it for support in passing from turnips to stubble and vice versa ? But a fowling piece would receive probably no real damage from this eccentric piece of gauckerie; while a bow in the build of which giue forms a very material item is liable to be ruined by an act of ungraceful carelessness of which the owners are sometimes reminded uncomfortably by back and belly ab- ruptly divorcing themselves, or by one or both horns flying off, to the almost certain damage and disfigurement of the human face divine. Leaving a bow upon the greensward is just as indi- cative of one unapt for archery. Even inthe finestsummer weather there is an insensible exhalation of damp from the soil; and glue, be it remembered, once chilled, will never become reset. One or two of those at the targets also didn't hesitate to avail themselves of the very unbowmanlike practice of sending others to search for shafts which missed the target. Now if there be one service more than another which your true archers in- sist upon performing for themselves it is gathering up their own arrows. They know that those of ascertained perfect flight are invaluable, and so difficult to be replaced in all their integrityof straightness, symmetry, well set on piles, and accurate feathering. Boys at Alexandra Park, while their employers lay supine, were racing again and again over the grass, trampling more and more out of sight arrows already " snaked," and wrenching out those visible with a clutch at the nock, and a reckless grab at the feathers. There is but one way by which an arrow should be plucked from the sod by the owner himself, viz, grasp the stele as near the head as possible, and then with a gentle twist to extract it horizontally backwards. Very recently there was held at Bray, near Dublin, a grand national Irish Bow Meeting,* admirably conducted; indeed, a very noble and gratifying spectacle of modern archery. Amongst the " first flight" of shooters ranked young Mr Macnamara, de- scribed in an English paper as having once held the English Championship, and at Bray also he achieved something more tangible than mere golden opinions. He is set down as only 19 years of age, yet in these " his salad days," as Shakspere would have termed them, makes, after only a couple of seasons' prac- tice, scores that would be noticeable were he a veteran. True it is, to quote Roger Ascham, " some men there be apt for archery;" like a fine musical ear to its possessor, it is to them nature's gift. Let bim never relax his ex- ertions till his quickened eye, nerved will, and brawny arm again wins what every archer trains for and sighs for— the unapproachable score. Merely practising in the target ground, I will take the liberty to remark, can never do this. The best archer known to my experience, for I have never seen all our modern distinguished men, was William Gibbons, of Abbott's Leigh, Somersetshire, and founder of " The Stoke Leigh Camp Archery Club,'' near Clifton. At 80 or 100 yards, except from mere carelessness— when I knew him— his arrows were never soiled by alighting on the ground, but generally found a place in the gold, red, or what we then called " the inner white," only. But target practice had by far the least portion of his attention. Like English yeomen archers of the loth and 16th centuries, he shot " rovers," the best of all exercises both for strong shooting and learning accurately to " keep a length." It leads those prac- tising it pleasantly across miles of diversified country ; the mark, now a flight- shot at some conspicuous tree, post, or rail, twelve score distant; now at the bracken or thistle top, not one score off ; a fisher heron startled from the brook side, or crow," winging her way into the rocky wood," gives variety to their marks. Whilst treating of this subject I may observe there are also sub- sidiary exercises, or archery gymnastics, more impertant, however strange it may sound, than any amount of archery practice. One who is still a dear lover of the bow, being early called abroad, and cut off' from all regular bow exercise, devised a series of ath- letic exercises, which it occurred to him might at least prevent his skill from retrograding. They succeeded beyond expectation, and are available within doors and without, in travelling or at rest, at noon day, in the public thoroughfares of a large city, or in the solitude of a sea side ramble ; on shipboard, and even in the smallest of ships'cabins. For the result, I vouch my credit that although he never handled bowstring for 30 years, he is now fourfold a better archer than when he left off shooting, and now prefers a mark of dollar size to the glitter and broad surface of a regulation target. I must beg leave to differ from a writer in a cotemporary jour- nal, that Mr Coulston of Clifton's shooting is too energetic. That can hardly be a fault— quite the reverse. A continuous, steady draw till the pile is felt, and then delivery by instantaneously re- laxing or straightening the fingers, without the slightest twitch- ing or twisting of the string, may be presumed to be what the old archers meant by " a quicke, sharpe, soddaine loose." As the proprietors oE the Alexandra archery ground, aided by their clever bowyer and fletcher, Mr Buchanan, show a desire to render it as convenient and attractive to the lover » of archery as possible, I specially recommend them to erect a tall mast— as on the Continent— for popinjay shooting, or " the eagle game,'' as foreigners term it. From very ancient times, during four centuries, this amusement has been practised at Kilwinning, in Scotland, under the name of papago, and there the wooden bird is fixed on an iron point at the extremity of a spar projecting horizontally from the church steeple. But a mast painted white, and about the elevation of the top- gallant of a line- of- battle ship, is the continental fashion. Iron cross bars toothed like a rake, two or three in number, diminishing in length as they near the summit, have a wooden bird about the size of a sparrow on each spike, and at the very summit a single one, distinguished as Le Roi, the king, to displace which is the point of ambition, and wins the best prize. The last time I was present at this game, towards the close of the contest, the winning shooter begged to have the mast lowered— for which there is machinery— that he might fix at the point a small box containing a linnet. The spar being re- hoisted, he at the first shot shattered the cage, and in a moment or two the little prisoner was seen winging his way un- harmed towards some sheltering foliage, amidst a tremendous charivari. The arrows proper for the Eagle Game are " bolts," blunt- headed, about the diameter of a shilling; Mr Buchanan can supply them. Close to the Alexandra Park years ago there was a public shooting ground, where a large assembly met for pra - tice in the continental style of shooting, which embrac s " blazon'' and the popinjay game. The sport generally began i- y shooting at blazons or square targets, intersected with lines, making fifty small squares on the face of the blazon : each square marked a blank or prize, and the value of the prizes is from one to twenty- six. Shooting at the figure of an eagle on a perch 140 feet high succeeded, the prize being a large gold medal. The company would do well to imitate these arrangements. Their excellent bowyer and fletcher, Mr Buchanan, can render them essential assistance in carrying them out; and suggestions from others familiar with Continental popinjay shooting could be easily secured. Public rumour also states that the Alexandra Company have a design of renting the Exhibition building, and transforming it into an attractive scene of fashionable winter amusement. In London there is most decidedly required an indoor place devoted to short butt archery, for at present during all the cold season no one draws a bowstring, nor during summer until the '' House" rises, and the skill of the most veteran bowman must retrograde. The company have now the means of supplying this want; indeed, so large is the space— nearly 400 paces in * The report seems to infer that archery is a novelty for Ireland. But my father's father could recollect the Archers of " Hogges Green— a village then in the suburbs— now part of College Green. Their last as- sembly was about 1734. Some of their bows and arrows used to be shown in Dublin Museum. One of them, long previous to that date, saved the life of a friend who was in the upper part of an old building, the basement of which was on fire, by shooting an arrow with a twine attached into the beam across the window. By this line a strong rope . being drawn up, the yictte escaped. length— that the great feat of military archery Justice Shallow attributes to " Old Double" of Gloucestershire, viz, " clapping into the clout at twelve score,'' could be more than conve- niently practised there. What we want is a narrow alley or colonade, embellished with emblematical representations of anicent sylvan sports, having butts or large square tar- gets permanently erected at either end, on the faces of which, being forty yards apart, there shall be placed a white circle of cardboard, perhaps four inches in diameter. There must be a second parallel arrangement devoted to the ladies. These galleries to be well warmed and brilliantly lighted up, so as to be available for evening practice, which probably would be most in vogue and very improving. The archers should also vary their sport with the steel cross- bows, which, of a proportionably lighter construction, would be most acceptable to the lady archers. The well- manufactured cross- bow can be set with such unerring accu- racy, that the celebrated feat of William Tell may be achieved a dozen times in succession. The mark I have seen is scarcely so large as a shilling, and there is now before me half a dozen of these little paper circles all pierced in the centre, or nearly so, by the same number of shots. The captain commandant of a fine corps of arbalistiers, or crossbow men, whom I once visited when shooting for their great gold medal, being about to level at the butt, a sparrow perched itself upon the pin that secured the mark. He drew the trigger, and shot the little saucy intruder, besides piercing the centre of the paper, and of course bore off the prize. In a now rather rare book, entitled Programme des JeuxGymnastiques, opened at Paris, Rue de Varennes, some years ago, there is a pleasant detailed account of the manner in which that society fitted up and adorned with appropriate encaustic paintings their ladies' archery galleries, & c. in this very popular place of fashion- able resort, and the book would be very suggestive, in case the old Exhibition building is designed to become a colossal Salon d'Hiver for London. 1 will not omit to add that launching the javelin was one of their sports, which in medical gymnastics rates as a superior first- class exercise for chest expansion, applicable to both sexes of course. The ladies won't " forget to remember" that Diana, j" goddess of, the silver bow," and her bevy of attendant huntresses, practised this invigorating exercise as muck as they did archery., Diana, who transfixed the deer with her darts, Ne'er speared but one lover or so; But Venus excelled her in shooting at hearts, And had always two strings to her bow. When Thomas Waring, all England's bow- maker forty years ago, live*; at No. 9, Caroline- street, Bedford- square, he had, in in the rear of his premises, a shooting gallery, such as is here suggested. It was liberally supported, and what with ladies and gentlemen flocking to purchase archery gear and to practise at the butts, I remember his street, from noon until late in the after- noon, to be almost blocked up with equipages.* A word upon the evidently increasing taste for practising with stronger bows than those hitherto introduced at prize meetings, and I have done. The author of the volume alluded to above has a decided opinion 011 this point, and of course his argument is entitled to all consideration. But it will occur to my readers that although a 501b or 601b bow is exactly the thing for the shooter who cannot dextrously manage anything heavier, there are men amongst cricketers, the Oxford and Cam- bridge boat- crews, & c, whose biceps muscle would not be in the least overtaxed by a seventy pounder. Persons there are so constitutionally leeb e, indeed, that they rit> k serious and irremediable . injury from striding suddenly across a water course or vaulting over a three- foot hurdle. These, of course, cannot be over- cautious. The wrestling with powerful bows by thern is an imprudence to be followed by a long life of suffering, perhaps; but such, unhappily, are unfitted altogether for partaking of our fine athletic sport. The majority of men, thank God, take 110 injury from a free and unconstrained use of their muscular powers, and to these I strongly recommend a " wrestling with their gear," as Old Ascliam calls it., until the mastery is secured. Another veteran of the bow, writing about the same period, asserts " that boys of 15 or 16, with their square- headed ( blunt) shafts, would commonly shoot eight score." They must have used bows equal in strength to most ot those ordinarily seen at our bow meetings in 1863. There is now at Burlton Hail, Shropshire, a very remarkable bow, both in appearance and actual power. It is not English, or of the " red, red yew,'' but the war weapon of an Indian war- rior, who must indeed have been a " tall man of his hands" if he used it deftly. The material is a dense, heavy, rich claret coloured wood, close in the grain as horn. They attempted to try its powers. It broke three good strings in succession at the first shot. Happening to have by me some excellent ones of foreign make, 8ft long, and very considerably above the ordinary tkiekness, even for that length, I carefully fiited one ; it broke like packthread. Two more had thesame fate. So, finding the experiment upon this lusty piece of. savage ingenuity to be rather costly, it was about to be again laid up in ordinary, when some one suggested the sending to a famous Scotch bowyer, stating how matters stood, and asking a supply suited to the occasion. He sent down three strings, with a message, to use his own words, that they " would hold any- thing man could use." One broke, as before, with the first arrow, on attempting a flight shot; the second lasted three days, and then fared as its predecessors. The third and last, after allowing four days' shooting, parted also. These seven days' experiments, however, enabled us to test the stalwart Indian's powers generally. It never permitted us the liberty of trying a flight, but oast its arrow with undeviating straightness. At sixty yards, with a very trifling elevation— at the long distances— the parabola was pro- portionably small, and with a f& ree that at the first hit brought down target and stands to Mother Earth. The handling of it., especially stringing, certainly gave one a violent stitch in the side. Drawing a perceptible wrench of the wrist and elbow joints, and as I shot from necessity without bracer or glove, the bow arm, from wrist nearly to the elbow, was black as a hat, and my drawing fingers cut almost to the bone. But what matter ? A few days rest put all to rights again. Very recently, and many times in my life, from similar experiments, my drawing arm has been for weeks as feeble as that of an infant; but that causes no anxiety; the weakness gradually subsides, leaving the limb stronger and more efficient than before. This red man's bow— which I don't doubt the worthy proprietor of Burlton will with pleasure show to any one calling on him— is about the strongest I have ever handled; stronger than an un- doubted ancient English war bow, whose genuineness, 317 years old, is historically established by its having lain until recently at the bottom of the sea, in an arm- chest of one of Henry the Eighth's men of war, sunk in an engagement with the French fleet. From a correct and exact model secured, a fac- simile model shall be fashioned, so soon as a suitable stave of well- seasoned yew happens to be attainable. This model bow, not above the power of any man of perfectly muscular build, with an equally genuine Agin- court arrow, picked up on the field of thatfamousEnglish victory, are congenial specimens of our military archery, not unsuitably suspended above the hearthstone of a bowman's cottage home^ * Among a collection of manuscripts, belonging to Her Majesty, which I have had the privilege to examine in quest of archery records, there occurs:—" A petition of J. ames Roche to Charles the Second— 1661— to have secured to him exclusively all benefit arising from giving lessons in the artes and mysteries called shooting at the saracen, alias Blackmore; the crossbowe, after the Italian fashion; the'Turkishbowe; shooting at the chough, & c, for the amusement and pastime of ladies and geutlemen of quality." LATEST INTELLIGENCE. PEDESTRIANISM. CAPTAIN CHADWICKE AND CAPTAIN SHARPE.— These gentlemen ran 100 yards, for £ 50 a side, on Friday morning, at ten o'clock, upon the same ground that Captain Machell and Captain Chad- wicke decided their match at Newmarket. The match, which ex- cited great interest and speculation, was made the preceding even- ing. At the appointed hour both gentlemen came to the scratch in racing gear, and the preliminaries having been adjusted they bounded away before the pistol was fired, but it was an excellent start, and they ran the race through. Captain Chadwicke took the lead, maintained it throughout, and won very easily by five yards. The betting was very heavy, and large sums of money changed owners. From 7 to 4 to 5 to 2 was freely laid upon Capt 8harpe, from the fact of his having an hour before defeated Hancock of Manchester in a trial, which took all the steam out of him. TROTTING. A trotting match came off'on Oct 8 on the Bradford and Keigh- ley road, two miles, for £ 25 a side and a bet of £ 200, between J. W. Howard's mare and an unknown. The unknown won the match by 10 yards after a very fast race, the distance being got over in 6min 32sec, two persons being in each gig. TURF TRANSACTIONS.— At the Judges' Chambers, on Tuesday, Oct 13, in the case of " Peart v Charlton," an application was made to enforce the award against Mrs Charlton, the executrix of the late John Charlton, the jockey. The plaintiff is the clerk 4> f the course at Malton in Yorkshire, and brought his action against Mrs Charlton, to recover £ 108 for money paid on account of her late husband in entering horses for certain engagements on the Turf, At the late York Assizes the matter was referred to Mr Quain by the judge, and he made his award for £ 83, and the pre- sent application was to enforce the same. On the part of Mrs Charlton it was stated that the Court of Queen's Bench would be moved next term to set aside the award on the ground that the account was for " gambling transactions'' on horse racing.— In reply to Mr Justice Byles, it was admitted on the part of the plaintiff, that Mrs Charlton was possessed of property, and the money was safe.— Mr Justice Byles said he should make no order, and Mrs Charlton could apply to the court to set aside the award on the ground of betting transactions with her late husband and the plaintiff.— Order accordingly. DANGEROUS PLAYTHINGS.— A circumstance occurred near Portsmouth on Saturday, Oct 10, which created no little astonish- ment in the immediate vicinity of the spot where it took place, and is remarkable for the almost insignificant results which at- tended it to what might naturallj' have been expected. On the north- east shore of Portsmouth harbour, close down to high water mark, are some half dozen cottages known as Rodmore. A lad dwelling in one of these cottages with his parents fuund, a few days since, 011 some of the adjacent mud lands of the harbour at low water time, an eight inch spherical shell, which, after con- siderable labour, he managed to transport to the shore, and de- posited it in the garden plot in front of the cottage. On Saturday, about four p. m., the lad's father being absent from home " shrimp- ing," the former determined to try if his prize was a'' loaded" shell, and, if so, to let it off. A train of powder was quickly laid to the half- filled fuze aperture in the shell, and the lad at the other end of the small garden fired the train. The shell exploded with a terrific roar. The inmates of the other cottages rushed out of doors in a state of terror. Scarcely a pane of glass was left un- broken, while doors and window sashes were shaken from their fastenings. The cause of the mischief was found lying in the garden, bleeding, and burnt by the lire from the explosion, but untouched by any of the fragments of the shell itself, which were thrown upwards, and some pieces fell at an immense distance. A baker's boy, passing with his handcart of bread in a lane at the back of the cottage, was thrown down by the force of the explo- sion, and found himself suddenly scrambling among his loaves 011 the ground. This was the extent of the damage done. The poor boy who fired the shell was conveyed to the Landport Hos- pital, where his injuries were attended to, and hopes are given of his speedy convalescence. A CHILD BURIED ALIVE.— On Friday week a young woman named Hester Jordan was committed to Gloucester gaol by the magistrates of Cheltenham, on a charge of misdemeanour, in abandoning her child. The prisoner was apprehended originally on a charge of having murdered her infant. It appeared she had been seduced, aud the birth of the child was the consequence. She had been confined in the workhouse, and had since been liv- ing with a Mr and Mrs Clarke as servant. About eight o'clock on Monday night last the noise of a child crying was heard in Clarke's garden, and as it appeared to proceed from the ground, the soil was removed, and the child was found just beneath, wrapped up in flannel. It was alive, but died next day. It had been in a convulsed state almost from its birth. The mother at first denied that the child was hers, but afterwards admitted that she had placed it where it was found, that " she did not know what to do with it, and that she did it through being destitute." The magistrates expressed their willingness to admit the prisoner to bail, but she said she had no one to befriend her. TUB MADAGASCAR SILKWORK.— NO country in the world ap pears more eminently qualified by nature for the production of silk than the island erf Madagascar. Most of the caterpillars of the country cover themselves with silky envelopes, which protect them both from the inclemency of the weather and the sudden showers of the summer season. Some are naturally covered from their birth with a thick mantle which grows with them, leaving only the head and legs uncovered. Others spin double and treble cocoons, and others again mix up various particles of plants with their silk, combining them artistically; and, lastly, there are some which spin a common nest, in which they live under a re- publican form of Government, each individual spinning its own cocoon besides. The last number of the Bulletin de la Societe d' Ac- climitation contains a curious paper on this subject by M Auguste Vinson, of La Reunion. H, e states that the Hovas weave a kind of silk which they call landy, and is obtained from the worm that feeds on the leaves of ambrevade, or Angola pea ( Cytisus Cajanus). This silk is heavy, and has no gloss, but is exceedingly strong. The natives sell the tissues they weave out of this silk very dear, and it is therefore only the rich who wear them. King Radama II., who dresses in the European fashion, wears trousers and a paletot made of this silk, which, not being dyed, is of a grey colour, like unbleached linen. The wealthy are buried in shrouds made of this silk, and it is said that such shrouds entombed for centuries have been exhumed in a perfect state of preservation. The ambrevade being an indigenous plant of La Reunion, this Madagascar silkworm might be easily introduced there. The insect, is 45 millimeters long; its body is composed of 12 segments, and covered with black sharp horny points all over. The general hue is a chesnut brown, but the abdo- men has a longitudinal rose- coloured streak between two other light brown ones. The cocoon is 70 millimeters in circumference, and 45 in length; it is very heavy, of a dirty grey colour, but in- terspersed with black bristles. The chrysalis contained in the cocoon is edible, and considered a delicacy by the Hovas, who eat it fried. AMERICA. ( Per the China, via Roche's Point, Oct 17,1: 15 a. m.) NEW YORK, OCT 5, 5 P. M. The despatches from the army of the Cumberland, which are to the 3d inst, continue to assert that the position of the army is secure from attack from any quarter. Exchanges of wounded prisoners have been made under flags of truce, and the number of Federal wounded now accumulated at Chattanooga is so great that the city is described as an hospital. Telegrams from Atlanta of the 30th ult to the Richmond En- quirer state General Rosecrans's defences are so superior that it is thought no immediate attack will be made upon them. Both armies were fortifying in their respective positions, the pickets being within a stone's throw of each other. It is asserted that General Rosecrans has been reinforced by two corps from General Meade's army, which, with the troops from other quarters which have been sent forward for the same purpose, will augment General Rosecrans's force to upwards of 30,000 men more than it consisted of previous to the battle of Chicamauga. Nashville ( Tennessee) despatches of the 3d state that M'Minni- ville was attacked by the Confederates at noon on that day. Telegraphic communication from M'Minniville was soon after- wards suspended, and the result was consequently unknown. The positions of the armies on the Rapidan remain unchanged. Washington letters of the 4tli inst claim to have information, derived from private Confederate sources, reporting that General Lee's army having been filled np with conscripts now amounts to 90,000 men, and that his reserves at Richmond number upwards of 12,000. Charleston despatches of the 2d to the Richmond paper\ i- nounce that heavy firing occurred during the previous nighfc- Oe- tween the Confederate aud Federal batteries, but do not state with what result. Twelve Federal steamboats, of the aggregate value of 500,000 dollars, have been burnt at different points on the Mississippi within the two past months. It is believed the perpetrators are connected with the conspiracy recently reported to have been dis- covered for the destruction of all the Government transports on the western rivers. OCT 6, 5 p sr. Passengers by the steamer Fulton, which left Charleston Bar at 4: 30 p. m. of the 3d inst, report that the Confederates were actively engaged in restoring Fort Sumter to a state of defence. Heavy guns had been mounted, and such rapid progress was being made with the repairs that General Gilmore had ordered a fresh bom- bardment of the work, the demolition of which he had more than once announced as complete. Boat reconnaissances had discovered the garrison to be full}' prepared to repulse any renewal of the attempt to obtain possession by assault. Owing to the high tides and other causes, General Gil more had been compelled to remove his head- quarters and nearly all his troops from Morris Island to Folly Island, and it was believed that 110 bombardment of the city would take place prior to the lst proximo. Admiral Dalilgren's vessels are described as being merely spec- tators of the operations of the army, without assisting in any way in them. It is added that the differences between the heads of the two branches of the service had so greatly increased that they are no longer upon speaking terms. Despatches from the army of the Potomac to the 4tli recount only unimportant skirmishes. A small Confederate force had at- tempted to cross the Rapidan at Germania Mills, but, being op- posed by the Federal guard, relinquished the design. It. has been discovered that a brigade of Confedarate troops occupied a strong position on the north bank of the Raven, near the Rapidau Sta- tion on the Orange and Alexandria Railway. Bands of guerillas infest the country in the rear of the army o£ the Potomac, and continually make successful raids upon the country towards camps and sutlers' trains. One of these parties on the night of the lst attacked Fort Beckwith, within 10 miles of Washington, killed and wounded several of the guard, took 20 of them prisoners, and captured 60 horses, together with many arms and equipments. An engagement on the 2d inst at Anderson's Cross- roads, in Kentucky, between the Federal cavalry, under Colonel M'Cook, and a portion of the Confederate General Wheeler's force, is re- ported to have resulted unfavourably to the Confederates. Col. M'Cook estimates the Confederates killed and wounded at 120, and claims to have captured 87 prisoners, besides recovering a large quantity of Federal property which had been captured by General Wheeler. The recent news from Europe, which states that the Emperor- of the French will immediately recognise the Southern Confe- deracy, and that an alliance between France, Mexico, the Con- federacy, and, probably, Great Britain, will be established, though not universally believed, is the cause of considerable dis- quietude in political and financial circles. WEDNESDAY, OCT 7, 11 A. M. Rumours are again in circulation in Washington of another ad- vance of General Lee with a powerful army. No later news has been received from Chattanooga. Attempts to interrupt General Rosecrans's line of communication continue to be made by the Confederates. On the 5th a large railway bridge south of Murfreesborough was partially destroyed, and the telegraph wires cut. Louisville despatches report that General Burnside still holds Knoxville, his lines extending as far south as Calhoun, on the Chiawassie River, and east as far as Greenville; also, that he holds all the passes leading into North Carolina. His right wing is asserted to be in communication with the left wing of the army of General Rosecrans. There is, however, considerable doubt of the authenticity of the despatches. The President has issued an order revoking all military edicts that in anywise direct the enlistment into the army of slaves in Maryland. It has been discovered that such enlistments were alienating many loyal citizens of that State who are slaveholders from their support of the Government. A subscription of 10 cents each, which originated with the sol- diers of the army of the Potomac, for the purchase of a service of plate, to be presented to General M'Clellan, has been prohibited by the Government. Late despatches from San Francisco announce that a fleet of Russian war vessels was expected off the coast of California some time during the present month. ( Via Cape Race and Roche's Point.) NEW YORK, OCT 8. The Navy Department are in receipt of official advices from Charleston to the 3d inst, but have suppressed their publication. It is reported via Cairo that Franklin attacked the Confederates at Brashier, Louisiana, and was repulsed, but received reinforce- ments, renewed the conflict, and defeated the Confederates. No dates are given. Skirmishing between the opposing armies at Chattanooga con- tinues. Another general engagement is considered imminent. On the 5th the Confederates opened fire on Rosecrans with shell. A brisk artillery engagement, ensued, lasting several hours. Bragg is reported to be heavily reinforced, and to have upwards of 175,000 men. Rosecrans's communications are still interrupted. Rumours prevailed in Nashville on the 8th that Shelbyville, with all the Federal forces there, had been captured by the Confederates. Confederate accounts from Charleston on the 6th report an attack upon the Federal fleet. The Ironsides had much damaged the Confederate gunboat Chickora in the action. ( By telegraph to Cape Race.) NEW YORK. OCT 9 ( AFTERNOON). The situation at, Chattanooga portends an early engagement. The Confederates have rendered the roads in Rosecrans's rear diffi- cult to travel except for strong military commands. A portion of the Confederate cavalry has moved towards Ken- tucky to harass Burnside's lines. A part has also moved south- ward against Rosecrans. It is rumoured that the Confederates have captured Shelbyville. The Confederates opened fire on Chattanooga on the 5th from Lookout Mountain. Shells were exploding in Chattanooga. The New York Herald asserts that Bragg's army has been swelled by reinforcements to 270,000. Advices from Charleston of the 6th inst state that the Confe- derates had attacked the frigate Ironsides, doing her some damage. NEW YORK, OCT 10 ( MORNING). In Tennessee the Confederates have attacked Shelbyville, cap- turing 15,000 prisoners. They have also captured M'Minniville, with 500 prisoners and seven waggons, together with 500 pri- soners at Wal lron Ridge. The Confederate cavalry have been defeated near Franklin, Kentucky, with a loss of 300 prisoners and four cannon. CITY- SATUKDAY. In the Discount Market there continues to be a good demand for money, and 4 per cent is the rate charged for the negotiation of mercantile paper. The Funds remain steady, Consols being quoted 93 to 93J for money, and 93J J for the account. In the Foreign Market Greek Bonds have suffered a farther decline, viz, to 29| f, and Mexican Stock has receded to 41f 42|. Spanish Passive have advanced to 36J f, and Turkish ConsolidcSs remain heavy at 53J f. Railway, Joint Stock Bank, and Miscellaneous shares remain without material alteration in values. DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT MURDER AT GREAT BARR, NEAB BIRMINGHAM.— A shocking occurrence took place at Great Barr, on Sunday evening last, under the following circumstances :— It appears that in the course of the evening two navvies entered the house of MrChas. Newey, who keeps the Maltshovel beerhouse, at Newton, in Great Barr, and called for a quart of ale. The land- lord refused to serve them with the ale, as some months previously he had forbidden them to enter his house, because they were con- tinually creating disturbances, much to the annoyance and incon- venience of the regular customers. Upon the landlord's refusing to draw the ale, the men began to use most obscene language, in the presence of Mr Newey, his wife, and family. Whilst they were doing so, two gentlemen walked into the house from Bir- mingham, and ordered some refreshment, but before they could be supplied, and without the slightest provocation on their part, one of them was immediately knocked down by the two navvies. A struggle then ensued between the parties, and the land- lord endeavoured to rescue the two gentlemen from the grasp of the ruffians, and he succeeded in getting himself and the two gen- tlemen into a private parlour and closed the door. The two navvies rushed from the kitchen, but before doing so one of them seized a spittoon and the other a fender, and, with frightful oaths, swore they w « uld kill everybody in the house. They then brought all their force to bear against the parlour door, and suc- ceeded in effecting a partial entrance. One of them, through the partially- open door, aimed a terrific blow at the landlord's head, which he fortunately escaped. The villains, foiled in this, rushed upon the landlady of the house, who happened to beoutside the par- lour door, and hurled her violently against the wall. One of the men then ran out into the road, and told his companion to draw his knife. They then put out the lights in the house, and recommenced their attack upon the persons in, the parlour, trying to batter in the door with a large piece of w if ae of them had got out of the hedge in the road. The twf « i(<? ve? emel1 within managed to effect their escape through the p.' ons-' win- dow, but making some little noise in doing so, the a^ lHion of the men was attracted to the spot, and they diverted their plan of attack, and ran out in search of the runaways, but not being able to find them, and the street- door having been fastened by the landlord, they commenced hurling large stones at the windows, speedily demolishing a number of them. Finally the men re- tired, only to return again in a short time with an ally, in the shape of a tall, athletic, herculean- looking ruffian, and recom- menced the attack upon the house, endeavouring to force open the street- door. Failing in this, they exhausted their fury by de- molishing the remaining windows. The landlord now became seriously alarmed for the safety of himself and family, imagining, with some degree of justice, that, their lives were in danger. He took down an old- fashioned gun from the ceiling, which hap- pened to be loaded, and rushed out, determined to face the ruffians. The night was dark, and he was only just able to see the men. However, he fired the gun at them as they were retreating, more with the view of frightening them than doing them any serious bodi ly inj ury. The gun was loaded with shot, and thegreater portion of the charge was lodged in the hinder part of one of the retiring men, the remainder of the charge scattering and wounding another of them in the legs and neck. The men, however, managed to effect their escape. Mr Newey obtained a warrant for the apprehension of the offenders. Strange to say, the men themselves applied for a warrant for the arrest of Newey for assaulting them. On the return of the reporter to Birmingham, he found that two out of the three men who had committed this outrage had been admitted to the General Hospital. One of them has given his name as Daniel Powell, and stated that he had come from Stratford- upon- Avon in search of employment as a navvy. The other gives his name as George Barker, and professed to come from Wednesbury for the same purpose. They are both badly wounded, although their lives are not endangered. The police officers are aware of the whereabouts of the two men, and as soon as the nature of their injuries will permit they will be conveyed to the police- station, when the matter will doubtless be thoroughly investigated by the magistrates.
