Blackie and Sons, 44, Paternoster- row, London ; and sold by all book- sellers. _ Charles Oakley again triumphant, at Newmarket, winning the Cambridgeshire, the only race he issued advice upon for the Houghton Meeting, with his selection, Catch ' em Alive; and had not Limosina been tampered with C. Oakley doubts nut he should hare absolutely ran first and sccond with his selections. He is glad to know his subscribers and friends had splendid hedging with Limosina, and that many won handsomely backing Catch ' em. He only regrets some of his friends were prejudiced against the gallant Catch ' em, and would not act upon his advice, issued 20th inst, to back him when 7 to 1 was easily obtain- able. The following is a verbatim copy of C. Oakley's circular of that date :— " Though mv confidence in Limosina for the Cambridgeshire is great, vet one horse is rather too little to stand on for such an important run. You must get on Catch ' em immediately. Rest assured it will be no case of ' scratch ' em' thiB journey ; the party mean mischief, and continue backing him to win an immense stake. Depend oil it bis trial is of such a very satisfactory and high nature that they think ho cannot, bar- ring accident, be beaten." And now with respect to the LIVERPOOL CUP. Charles Oakley's selection for ttiis great autumn cap. almost the last important rac « of the season, is of a very first- rate character. He be- lieves he has the best information in the world respecting it, and thinks lila selection as certain to win as his brilliant choice, Gardener, last sea- son, sent out at 25 to 1, which he won in a canter. C. Oakley, in returning his sincere thauks to his old subscribers and friends for their continued support, begs to assure them their liberal patronage is fullv appreciated, and that no effort shall be wanting on his part to justify their continued confidence. C. Oakley would assure that portion of the sporting public who hare not had the benefit of his advice that his information will be found on trial of that honest, sound, and successful character which always characterises it, and has been the means of procuring him a reputation unrivalled in the sporting world. Let all then fall not to obtain advice at once from a genuine and reliable source, or else give up backing horses altogether, as it is an acknowledged fact a man cannot make money on the Turf without thoroughly good and successful information; indeed a backer con- stantly requires the assistance of a competent and experienced adviser, who can detect " dead una," and Is in a position to learn, and that quickly, too, the result of all important trials ; also whether the right money is going on. & c. Terms : Any single race, 13 stamps. Address, 52, Red Lion- street, Holborn, London, W. C. SIB J. HUDSON AND EARL HUSSELL. Three official letters, published a few days since, on the subject of Sir J. Hudson's retirement, strongly corroborate the belief that there was a curious readiness to take advantage of his mistake in acting on what he deemed to be a promise to resign at a certain period. Earl Eussell gives him due credit for his services at the Italian Court, and denies, in a letter to Mr Elliot,! that he had ever considered Sir James to have given any promise to resign. But, if so, why was the resignation so instantly, and with- out explanation asked, accepted. Would it have been tbus accepted had no family connection required an ap- pointment'? If it is said that that would have made no difference, then the result is that an excellent public servant, one whose services are admitted to deserve great praise and to call for high acknowledgment, would be parted with the instant lie ex- pressed a wish to retire, and that, too, without even the trouble of one single inquiry as to the motive for the wisli. This would not be so in private life. A private gentleman would not part with a good groom in such a hasty and inconsiderate manner, still less would he so recklessly give up the services of a faithful and ap- proved secretary. If Earl Russell admits that what these letters seem to show is correct, and that, on the first intimation by a diplomatist of a desire to resign, he would without inquiry accept the resig- nation, be that diplomatist's services ever so valuable, he admits a circumstance highly unfavourable to his own character as a public servant. To give up so readily " a zeal and intelligence deserving of the highest praise" is not a sensible mode of conducting busi- ness, to say nothing about its not being a graceful mode of ac- knowledging merit These letters in the blue book evince a readiness to allow the retirement of a man of capacity which can only be accounted for on one ground, and the public have already settled in their minds what that ground is. Sir J. Hudson's retirement created a desired vacancy for a well- befriended successor. It is to be hoped that that successor has more capacity for his office than taste and cor rectness of expression in a literary way. What he means when he denies that Sir James was under an engagement to retire " when due for a pension " is a matter which no rules of the English lan- guage afford the means of discovering. No parsing and construing can explain how a man is due for a pension, though it can easily be understood how a pension may be due to a man. The Elliot diplomacy ought to be very good to atone for Elliot phraseology. If the diplomacy should be expressed in no clearer language, there will be much reason to anticipate many misconceptions.

We copy the following from the Galway Express with extreme regret:—" The magistrates of the Clonbar petty sessions have shown their condemnation of the recent insult to his Excellency the Lord- Lieutenant by refusing to renew the license to King, proprietor of tbe Maam Hotel. Every right- minded person will rejoice to learn that punishment lias so quickly followed the out- rage upon Her Majesty's representative." The true punishment of the earl was that which he has received— the loss of his lord- lieutenancy of the county, and the ridicule of every reasonable man. To punish the poor innkeeper, who had no choice but to do as he was bid, who was a mere instrument in the hands of his absurd landlord, is mean as well as senseless ; it is imitating the Leitrim earl's style of proceeding, and - uggests very strongly that the magistrates of the Clonbar Petty Sessions would have acted exactly as the Earl of Leitrim has done if they had the power and the will. They are committing a piece of folly, which is at the same time a piece of injustice— the earl did the same. When they took on themselves to rebuke his conduct they should have taken care to avoid imitating him. To make the poor innkeeper softer for something which he not only did not do wilfully, but which he would most, gladly have avoided doing at all, is at once wrongful and absurd. Let us hope that the gentlemanly feeling of the Viceroy, and his real kindness of heart, will make him suggest to these justices at petty sessions to recal their decision, or will make him repair their blunder. It is bad enough to be compelled to be a - catspaw, but to burn the fingers first ( under the force of a superior power), and then to be punished for having been compelled to burn them, is a sort of justice of which justices at petty sessions would be the sue approvers. INEQUALITY OF PUNISHMENTS, The public attention is, at last, beginning to be roused to this subject. Punishment inflicted by law is not, and ought not to be, considered, despite Southey's rhapsody, as an act of vengeance- It is, or ought to be, the infliction of a penalty on the offender with a view to make him abstain from repeating the offence, and make others abstain from committing it. To effect these purposes, it ought to follow with certainty on the perpetration of the offence it ought to be inflicted to the letter, and it ought to be justly pro- portioned, and distinctly appropriated to the offence. The first of these three conditions must, of course, depend on the means of capturing and convicting the offender, and the second on the good sense of the authorities in not- ; allowing the ex parte statements of individuals, interested for the offender, to outweigh and invalidate the well- considered verdict and judg- ment of the jury and the judge. The last of these three conditions of efficiency is that which demands the greatest amount of ability, and the most earnest application of the reasoning powers. The others can be much more easily secured. The work to be done is the work of the highest statesmanship. But that is the case only in the legislative declaration of the forms and degree of punishment There is a rougher kind of work in the applica- tion of these degrees of punishment to the offences. 5fow both these kinds of labour, that of legislatively apportioning punish- ments, and that of administering the orders of the Legislature, are often indifferently performed. At present we shall only briefly notice the latter evil. Letters written to The Times have brought this matter plainly before the public. They have contrasted the severity shown in one place with the leniency ( not to call it indulgence to criminals) exhibited in another. Thus Wm. James for stealing a pair of boots is sentenced to nine months' hard labour ; John Green, aged 16, for stealing a shirt is sentenced to 14 months' imprison- ment, and John Wellington for stealing a shirt to three years' penal servitude; while John Willcocks, for a most brutal and savage assault on a child ( only, two years and a half old), whereby it has suffered injuries that seemed at first to have killed it, and that will in all probability affect it through life ( if it should con- ttinueto live), was only sentenced to three months' imprisonment And another criminal who struck a policeman on the back of his head with a stone, who called out to his companions to " knife" the policeman, and who threatened to perform that sort of assas- sination " when it was dark," was actually sentenced by a London police magistrate to no more than two months' imprisonment. Now we know well enough that, by force of prison regulations, the shorter term of imprisonment is in some cases capable of being made more severe than one of longer duration, through the application of certain rules of prison discipline, but even taking that possibility into consideration, and making every allowance for the effect of peculiar circumstances existing in individual cases, is it possible to reconcile the astounding discrepancy among the sentences with any good and regular administration of criminal law ? The criminal, who is a very shrewd and calculating animal, must look on punishment as a mere lottery business, and, of course, always assumes for himself that he may have a lucky chance. Now, chance is the very last thing he ought to be allowed to associate with the idea of punishment. He ought to feel that, being once caught, his conviction is sure, and he ought to know beforehand what will be the sentence following on his being con- victed, and, finally, that the full infliction of it is inevitable. If he doubts on any of these points, and if the law or its adminis- trators permit, still worse encourage, him to doubt, the value of law for his correction and for the prevention of crime is most seriously diminished. Can we say that it is not so in England? FOBESBN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. General Lcewestine has been appointed Governor of the Inva- lides, and General Mellinet Chiet Commandant of the National : Guard of the Seine. The Opinion Nationrtle says:—" At a ban-' quet given to the cavalry officers at Versailles, Marshals Magnan, | liegnault de 8t Jean d'Angely, and Allonvilie were present. Col ' Pajoi, of the dragoons, in replying to the toast of his regiment, said: Perhaps at no distant day the Emperor will summon us to measure our swords with the oppressors of a people sympathetic with France. Then, like our ancestors, we shall make known to the world the advantages to be derived from the combination of cavalry with all other arms." The speech of Colonel Pajol was j received with vociferous applause. MM. Suin and Villemain and j General Herbiilon have been appointed Senators and Councillors of State. La France believes itself able to state that Austria and Prussia have agreed to decline the arbitration © f England in the conflict with Denmark, regarding it as having a purely German i character. The Emperor has received ttie Mexican deputation, j No mention was made of the Archduke Maximilian, but all tbat appeared to be talked of was Mexico's duty to France, gratitude for French intervention, and a desire to be annexed to France. ! Among the Mexican towns which, according to official intelli- gence, have lately " adhered" with enthusiasm to the French in- terventioi; is Tiaipam ! This is what has taken place in that lo- cality:— All civil laws are suspended. Martial law is proclaimed, and a French major named Cousin is invested with absolute power over life and property. In consequence of the assassination of a French Zouave named Mulier a fine of 6,000 piastres, to be paid within four days, is levied upon the inhabitants. Notice is given that several of the inhabitants have been arrested, and that for every French soldier, or for every citizen adhering to the new government, who may be killed, a prisoner will be regularly executed by way of reprisals. The France says that the inhabi- tants of Tiaipam have been profoundly impressed with these energetic measures! The measures have a strong family likeness to those of Mouravieffin Poland. There are strong rumours in Paris that it is the Emperor's intention to defeat the effect ex- pected from the return to the Chamber of the many eloquent members of the Opposition, by prohibiting tiie publication of their speeches. SPAIN. The Empress of the French is at Madrid, and eighteen thousand reserve troops have been called out. Why ? The Paris Moniteur, giving an account of the reception of the Empress of the French by the Queen of Spain, says : — " The visit of the Empress is ; destined, both in the present and in the future, to exercise a happy ' influence upon the relations which unite France and Spain." STREET REGULATIONS. There are symptoms of an effort being made to form a body of regulations for street traffic. We wish all possible success to the effort A beginning has been made, but it is as yet incom- plete. Still it is an earnest of something better. And let the City authorities have due credit for what they have done. To them have the public been indebted for the first great improvement in this matter, namely, the arrangement as to carriages crossing London Bridge. It would be well if the principle of that arrange- ment was followed elsewhere. We are very fond of liberty— of the liberty of doing exactly as each one of U3 pleases— and this is, no doubt, very agreeable, and should be permitted when the en- joyment of such unfettered liberty by one man will not interfere with the convenience or comfort of others ; but where it will do so, this pleasant amount of liberty ought to be abridged. It does so interfere in the traffic of crowded thoroughfares. There the unregulated liberty of movement creates confusion, which proper regulations prevent But for the plan adopted by the City authorities a vehicle would take double the time which it now employs in crossing London Bridge. Might not some- thing of the same sort of regulation be applied with advan- tage in other parts of the metropolis And might we not have something like a rule in walking required to be observed by pedestrians ? The rule exists, but no one enforces it The pedestrian whose righ* hand is to the wall is entitled to keep that position. This is a fact of what may be called the common law of walking in the streets. But this sensible law is constantly violated by the caprice, the foliy, or the ignorance of individuals. It would be well that it should be proclaimed as a rule that must beobserved, subject of course, as in " the rule of the road," to ex- ception in cases of necessity. In Manchester many of the streets contain notifications that such is the rule, and that it must be ob served ; and in Dresden it is, as to the bridge connecting the two divisions of the town, strictly enforced, and is indeed extended to this point, that all persons must keep the parapet of the bridge to their right hand; the result of which is, that the two streams of people going in opposite directions never jostle each other. The enormous increase of the population in London renders regula- tions of this sort absolutely necessary, and people should make up their minds cheerfully to conform to them. The restraint upon each individual is but small, and the result will be to secure him a greater degree of ease and freedom than if the mode of movement in the streets was left to continue unregulated, and to depend entirely on the caprice or thoughtlessness of each in dividual passenger. RETUP. IT OF THE Co UST FROM BALMOBAL,— Tier Majesty and the royal children arrived at Windsor Castle about nine o'clock on Wednesday morning, having left Balmoral on the previous morning. The distance by railway, 582 miles, was performed in 18j hours. Her Majesty was in good health. THE EX- CHANCELTOES.— By the death of Lord Lyndhurst a pension of £ 5,000 per annum reverts to the public, that being the stipend which the noble and learned lord enjoyed as one of the five ex- Lord Chancellors, who divided between tliem the round sum of £ 25,000 per annum. The surviving ex- Chancellors now in receipt of retiring pensions are four in number, namely, Lord Brougham, aged 85 ; Lord St Leonards, 82 ; Lord Cranworth, 73; and Lord Chelmsford, 69. DEATH OF THE EDITOR OF THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS.— We greatly regret to announce the death of W. J. Stewart, Esq, editor of the Illustrated London News, which oc- curred at his residence on Saturday, Oct 24. Mr Stewart had been for a considerable time in a weak state of health ; but we believe that his death, which resulted from disease of the heart, was quite unexpected until shortly before it took place. In him we have lost a gentleman endeared to his friends by the extreme amiability of his disposition, as well as a young author of real promise. We understand that a posthumous novel is already in the press, and will shortly be produced by the publishers of his former success- ful work, Footsteps Behind Him. DEATH OF MR W. CUBITT, M. P.— We regret to announce the death of Mr W. Cubitt, M. P. for Andover, which took place on Wednesday night at his residence, Penton Lodge, Hants. He was in his 73d year. Mr Cubitt,, who had filled the office of Lord Mayor of London for two successive years, was the most popular chief magistrate of the city of London in recent times, and com- manded in an extraordinary degree the respect of the Court of Common Council, and, indeed, of the citizens at large. During his mayoralty considerably more'than a quarter of a million of money in the whole flowed spontaneously into the MansionHouse from time to time towards one public object or another, and of which more than £ 200,000 was subscribed in the second 3- ear of it. He was elected an alderman for the Ward of Langbourne in 1851, on the death of Sir John Key, who, like Mr Cubitt, had twice filled the office of Lord Mayor. He took a memorable part in originating the public subscription towards a national memorial of the Prince Consort, and afterwards with Lord Derby, Lord Clarendon, and Sir Charles Eastlake had the honour to serve upon the committee nominated by the Queen to assist her in deciding on the form which the memorial should assume. At the time of his death Mr Cubitt was President of St Bartholomew's Hospital and Prime Warden of the Fishmongers' Company. He leaves four daughters, one of whom, Lady Olliffe, is the wife of the physician to the English Embassy" at Paris, and two others are ma'rried to eons of the late Mr Alderman Humphery. GREECE. A letter from Athens says:—" An English company is now making application to the Greek Provisional Government for the concession of different railways. The intention is to have one principal line, about 252 miles in length, which, • starting from the Gulf of Arta, would run along the coast of Acarnania and the Bay of Corinth, to Thebes and Porto Baphti, a port situated near Cape Suniurn ; also two secondary lines from TXebes to Athens, and from the latter city to the Isthmus of Corinth.'' IONIAN ISLANDS^ The Lord High Commissioner had stated that the British Government we. s unable to come to any decision at present as to the demolition of the fortifications of Corfu, the other great Powers having not yet arrived at an understanding uoon the question. POLAND. General Berg has ordered that passports for abroad be no longer delivered on any pretext. Numbers of arrests have taken place in Warsaw. Among them were those of Provosts Bialsbczezki, Wyschyuski, and Stecki, the photographer Bayir, the banker Kamicz, the pastor Kramstuck, and tiie editor Neufeld, in all forty members of the municipality of Warsaw. A secret printing establishment of the National Government has been discovered Li Warsaw. A corps of 2,000 well armed insurgents, with cavalry, has crossed the Vistula at Baranow, and entered Poland. The Breslauer Zeitung states that the fire at the Hotel de Ville de- stroyed all the archives of the secret police since 1831. A domi- ciliary visit took place at the residence of the Saxon Consul, Herr Lessir. His effects were sealed up, and the consul himself con- fined to his house. The Cztu maintains the accuracy of the news of the torturing of a Jew at Dzialoszyce by the Russians, and points eut that M de Berg's statement that " no Jew from Dzial- oszyce had been tortured at Warsaw" is an equivocation, as the Jew was tortured not at Warsaw but at Dzialoszyce, which is near it. The name of the Jew is Scko Sarna. Severalhundred political offenders, who were imprisoned in the buildings adjoining the Hotel de Ville, now reduced to ashes, have been taken to the Citadel, where they remain day and night in the open air, in consequence of all the cells being already filled with prisoners. POLAND AND RUSSIA. The other day the office of the Saxon Consul General at Warsaw- was invaded by the Russian police, and seals put upon the Chan- cellery. An apology has now been made for this wanton act, and the seals have been removed. The combats of Poles and Russians and the alternations of triumphs and defeats continue as before. AUSTRIA. The Finance Committee of the Reichsrath has, it is said, pro- posed to grant permission to raise a loan of 80 millions [?] of florins. PRUSSIA. The elections continue in general very favourable to the Oppo- sition party, though in some few instances the ministerials have achieved unexpected triumphs. The Cologne Gazette states that the Anclam Gazette has received a warning ( the second) for a cor- respondence from Warsaw, in which the Russian soldiers are de- signated " hangmen in uniform," and the Government itself " a government of usurpation." Such expressions, the warning states, must tend to sap all morality in general, and consequently fidelity aud obedience to lawful authority in one's own country. GERMANY. To increase the confusion which always hangs about German politics, we learn from Vienna that Count Rechberg is determined to prosecute the Austrian Federal scheme, minus Prussia aud the non- subscribing minor Sovereigns. The Austrian Minister is to preside at Nuremberg over a number of German Ministers of the Federal Sovereigns, in order again to address the King of Prussia. The Europe publishes the following circular note on tiie Ger- man question, addressed by Count Rechberg to the representatives of Austria abroad, dated Sept 26:—" To M , Minister of H. I. R. Apostolic Majesty at the Court of : The Baron de Werthern has remitted to me, to be forwarded to His Majesty the Emperor, the reply simultaneously addressed by His Majesty the King of Prussia to the sovereigns who signed the collective note of the 1st instant, together with a despatch from the minis- ter, President M Von Bismarck, the latter accompanied by a copy of the report addressed to the King on the 15th of this month by the Royal Ministry of State. This report is already known to you by the publicity given to it, and I complete your information upon the state of affairs bj' forwarding you a copy of the royal reply and of M Von Bismarck's despatch. I made no delay in despatching the above- mentioned documents to His Majesty the Emperor, at present at Ischl. The impression they will make upon His Majesty I foresee but too clearly. It is with deep regret that theEniperorwill learn the declarations of Prussia, and I cannot doubt that this sentiment is shared by all the German Sovereigns and Governments now in possession of the reply of Prussia. In fact this reply fully justifies the many apprehen- sions entertained that Prussia will not seriously associate herself with the tendencies to| reform exhibited by her confederates, but that she will endeavour to obstruct the development of the Federal constitution by proposing unacceptable conditions. According to our convictions, the three prejudicial cardinal points on the pre- liminary acceptance of which the Royal Court of Prussia wishes to make even its resolution to treat upon a reform of the Confedera- tion depend, are riot only altogether incompatible with the main- tenance of the Federal principle in Germany, but it appears to us very significant that Prussia opposes the precise propositions of her confederates with general pretensions whose vague form and deficiencies do not convey a clear and precise idea. It will be neither a gratifying nor consoling, but by no means difficult task, to point out one by one the deficiencies, as well as the flagrant contradictions, in which the Prussian Ministers have involved themselves in their report of the 15th inst I think, nevertheless, that the German Governments cannot withdraw from this task, after having been formally summoned by the Prussian Government however extraordinary this proceeding may be, to make a report, addressed to the King" by the Minister ef State, the subject of their deliberations. The only circumstance which we are able to note with satisfaction is, that the King and his ministers have rot thought proper to reiterate, in a direct and express manner, in the face of the German Sovereigns, the reproach contained in a former minis- terial report, according to which the dignity and power of Prussia were wounded by the Frankfort ^ propositions. At present I can have no other intention than to make known to you my first im- pressions, and consequently to express only an entirely provisional appreciation of the steps which the participators in the Frankfort work of reform will feel themselves induced to take at the present moment. In my opinion it would be expedient to draw up in a tone of Federal friendship a radical refutation of the Prussian stipulations, and to transmit them to the Cabinet of Berlin by means of identical notes from all the Govern- ments interested in the Act of Reform, t- gether with the urgent manifestation of a hope that Prussia will not insist upon her unacceptable preliminary conditions, but will consent to treat on the basis of the propositions accepted by the twenty- four German Governments. A declaration that it is impossible that these propositions can remain without pract ical results would be perfectly well placed in the same identical note. Moreover, it would be expedient to invite some of the Courts, which, while declining to accept the Act of Reform en bloc, took part, never- theless, in the Congress of Princes at Frankfort, notably the Courts of Mecklenburg- Schwerm and Saxe- Weimar, to join in this step, in so far, at least, as they consider it compatible with their views. In the meantime these observations will serve, as a rule, in your communications, and it is needless to add that I wait with the strongest interest your report on the manner in which the Prussian reply is judged.— Receive, & c, ( Signed) " EECHBEEG." DENMARK. The Dagblad says:—" The Danish Government has resolved, in view of the present aspect of affairs, to concentrate a larger force than usual in the southern part of the kingdom. The divisions forming the garrisons of Schleswigand Hol tein will be increased, so that 12,000 troops may be assembled in a few days in the posi- tion of Danevirke— a force equal to that which Hanover and Saxony will have to send to Holstein, in order to execute the decree of the Federal Diet. At the same time a body of the corps of engineers has been sent to Schleswig to complete the fortifica- tions there, which will be forthwith armed. Thus everything is ready for the enemy when it pleases them to take the decisive step.'' This looks like defiance. Still more so is the speech which, according to the Aftonblad, of Stockholm, the King of Denmark has just delivered •—" I have every confidence in the victory and justice of our cause. I know that my faithful Schleswigers are Danish at heart, and that it would be a crime against them to consent to divide Sehleswig. History shall not tell that the last of the Oldenbourgs parcelled out Denmark. If, however, in the course of time we must succumb as being the weakest, and France and Sweden permit the most southern province of Scandi- navia, the old Jutland of the south, to share the fate of Galicia, of Poland, and of northern Italy, by being overpowered and sup- pressed by German Governments, then I will descend from the throne and will proclaim the republic. I passed three years of my youth in Switzerland; I have studied the laws^ and institutions of that country, and I am convinced that no people in Europe is more fitted for the republican system than my dear Danish people," HOLLAND.

THE WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS. THE REBELLION IN SAW DOMINGO.— The latest intelligence ( to the 2d Sept) brought from Mexico by the Shannon announces that affairs in that country are stationary. General Forey and the French commissioner were about leaving for Europe. News from Venezuela states that a battle had been fought resulting in favour of the Government and the capture of Puerton Cabello. The latest intelligence from San Domingo announces that the Spanish Government are pouring in troops from Porto Rico and Cuba. Quite 11,000 have already landed. The Spanish losses at Santiago exceoded 1,000. The battle of San Louis was a serious encounter, but the Spaniards were victorious. The following ad- ditional important late intelligence from Sun Domingo has been brought by the Shannon :— The Sail Domingo revolution has been successful in the district of Cibao. Santiago has been burnt. In the south the rebels have been defeated. The Confederate war steamer Georgia, in command of Captain Semmes, formerly- of the Alabama, passed the port of Falmouth, on the north side of the island of Jamaica, at noon 011 the 30th ult, under full steam and canvas, going at ltjj knots an hour, and was on a cruise. She was boarded off that port by a Montego Bay pilot Late in the afternoon ef the same day she was ob- served to come into collision with another steam- vessel; but from the distance at which the encounter took place, as seen by the aid of a telescope, it was difficult to say whether the other vessel returned the fire or not; at all events, this much is cer- tain, that after the lapse of eight or ten minutes, one of the ves- » » sels sailed away, evidently having the other in tow, and both were soon after lost to sight There is no news of importance from any of the islands. JAPAN. The following are the details of the affair in Japan, of which a brief resume was given in our last. The ileet, which was composed of seven vessels, entered Kagosima Bay, on Tuesday, the 11th of July. The Euryalus, the Admiral's flag- ship, carried 35 guns, the Pearl 21, the Perseus 17, and the remainder only carried from two to six guns each. On the 12th the fleet anchored in front of the town, under cover of the batteries, and negotiations were tb° opened with the Japanese with a view to obtaining from PriUw Satsume, tiie reparation which was required. This and the two^ following days were occupied in negotiation, and on the morning of Saturday the loth, the Japanese authorities having refused to comply with our demands, the fleet having in the meantime withdrawn to a greater distance from the shore, three of the vessels composing it proceeded up the bay, took possession of three of Prince Satsuma'a steamers, and, together with their prizes, rejoined the rest of the fleet. This operation appears to have been effected without any opposition, but about two hours afterwards the batteries opened fire on the Euryalus and Perseus, which were at anchor within range of their guns. The fleet there- upon weighed anchor; and, having set flre to the prizes, formed line of battle, and proceeded to engage the batteries. Tbe Japanese fought their guns admirably, and the cannonade, after six hours' continuance, was only put a stop to by night, without any apparent relaxation in their fire. The next morning, however, it was notably weaker, ani in less than two hours had completely ceased. By this time the fortifications were almost destroyed, two- third's of Kagosima were levelled with the ground, and a large arsenal and foundry had been re- duced to ruins. With the exception of the Euryalus, which led the line and sustained the heaviest fire, the British fleet had escaped without serious injury^. The flagship, however, had suffered severely. Her captain ( Joslyn) and commander ( Wil- mot) were killed ; Lieutenant Jephson was wounded, besides 30 of the crew put hors de combat. The Euryalus was hulled ten times, and her masts and rigging cut to pieces. The casualties among the remaining vessels were only 33. The vessels engaged were the Euryalus, Pearl, Argus, Perseus, Coquette, Havoc, and Eacehorse. The first two only are frigates. Admiral Kuper had now done his worst. Without a land force he could do nothing further to compel Satsuma to accede to our demands; and as the latter evinced no desire to negotiate he left for Yokohama on the 17th to refit. The Battler, which arrived in port on the 30th', brought news of his safe arrival; she was sent over for pro- visions and stores, and left again with all speed OH the 1st inst Everything was quiet, both at Yokohama and Na- gasaki, when she started. It is difficult to say what must be our next, step; a severe engagement has been fought with complete success, but the object of the expedition is as far from being attained as ever. Apparently it only remains to threaten Yeddo with a similar fate to Kagosima, and under terror of our guns to compel the Tycoon to exert his authority to induce Sat- suma to comply with our demands. But the latter is reported to be as powerful as the Tycoon, and may rely securely on the sup- port of the Mikane if he persist in his obstinacy. Without an army it appears likely that we shall be unable to bring matters to a satisfactory termination. Japan is an entirely self- supporting country, ifntil the arrival of foreigners it had no trade, and de- sired none. The destruction of all its ports by our fleet, and the cessation of trade, would therefore have no other effect than to cause the inhabitants to withdraw into the interior and revert to their old habits of reliance 011 the produce of the country for sup- port. Individuals only would suffer by the destruction of pro- perty caused by the bombardments, but the nation would not be affected. Until a British Plenipotentiary has been escorted by an armed force to Miako our relations with the Japanese are likely to be as unsatisfactory as were those with China before the signing of the Treaty of Pekin. TURKEY. The Budget has been published. The sources of revenue are divided into five classes, namely, 1, direct taxes; 2, indirect taxes; 3, postal service, Crown lands, and the profits of Imperial printing office; 4, rent of Government farms, salt monopoly, mines, tax on land sales, forests. & c; 5, Egyptian, Wallachian, Moldavian, Servian, & c, tribute. The expenditure is distributed under the heads of foreign debt, home debt, and cost of adminis- tration. The result is as follows :— Purses. Piastres. Total receipts 3,010,539 335 = £ 13,684.271 Total expenditure ... 2,969,001 492 = 13,495,477 Surplus 41,534 343 = 188.794 The Agramer Zeitung states that apprehensions are entertained of an impending conflict between Turkey, Servia, and Montenegro, The signal is expected to be given by Bosnia, which is in a state of great disaffection. DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. The Chambers have been summoned to meet upon the 15th of November. A, new Cabinet has been formed under the presidency of M Cogalnitchnno, composed as follows:— President of the Council and Minister of the Interior, M Cogalnitchano; Minister THE STEAM EASTS IN THE MERSEY.— Her Majesty's gunboat Heron, up to Thursday afternoon, still lay close to the entrance of tiie Great Float, with a " slip cable" 011, and her fires banked. The rams are under a guard of marines, and from the position of the Goshawk and Heron it is impossible for either of them to escape unnoticed. We believe, however, that the Messrs Laird have no intention of evading the law, and that they await the ac- tion of a protest against the course now being taken by the Govern- ment in reference to the ownership of the rams. At the begin- ning of the week there were all sorts of rumours afloat as to the intention of the owners of the vessels to make a run for it in the dark, but we suspect the wish was father to the thought, seeing that one of the vessels is by no means sufficiently forward to go to sea. VOLUNTEERS IN NORTH AMERICA.— By the New York Army and Navy Journal we perceive that the volunteer movement is now adopted in New Jersey, which has organised, under Col Eowland, a volunteer rifle brigade, which is now rapidly attaining a state of efficiency. The men are armed with the Springfield rifle, and are instructed in the Hythe system of musketry. We shall be curious to see their target practice returns ; the more so as it is rumoured at head- quarters that a detachment wijl enter the lists, at the next Wimbledon meeting, against one of our me- tropolitan regiments. This match will give additional eclat to the gathering, and we are sure that the New Jersey men will meet with a hearty welcome at the Midnight Parliament. SINGULAR BOBIIEBT FROM A TOMB.— On Tuesday, Oct 27, Charles Bird, a young man, formerly a draper's assistant, was charged before Mr Eodwell, Q. C., and a full bench of magistrates, in quarter sessions, at Bury St Edmunds, with having broken open and entered a tomb on or about the 30th of June last, in the parish of Mildenhall, and stolen therefrom a quantity of jewel- lery, coins, and money buried therein with the body of Mr Jona- than Childerstone. Mr Bulwer was counsel for the prosecution, and the prisoner was undefended. It appeared that Mr Jonathan Childerstone, a wealthy resident in the outlying district of Mil- denhall, was buried last January in the cemetery of that place, in a leaden coffin. The body was attired in a suit of black, and before the coffin lid was fastened on, his widow saw deposited by the side of the remains of her husband £ 40 in gold, some watches, chains, rings, scarf pins, and other jewellery, and other articles of trifling value, consisting of a corkscrew, a comb, tin shaving boxes, & c. All this property had been that of the son of Mr Childerstone, to whom that gentleman and Mrs Childerstone had been passionately attached, and who died in the year 1859. The parents resolved that no one else in the world should possess the property of their lost son, and they agreed that all that belonged to him should be buried by the side of whichever of them died first. It was in acordance with this singular ar- rangement that the money and jewellery were deposited with the remains of Mr Childerstone in the family vault In the month of July, from some expressions dropped by the prisoner, it became rumoured that the tomb had been forcibly entered, and all the property carried off. Superintendent Glasier had the tomb exa- mined, " and it was found that the brickwork had been pulled down at the side, and part of it was lying on the floor of the tomb. The lid of the coffin was found wrenched off, and the inner leaden coffin cut with a chisel and knife from end to end, leaving the body of Mr Childerstone exposed to view. The sleeve of his black coat had been torn off, and was found lying 011 the flags. All the money and valuables were gone, but ou digging in the rubbish on the floor were found some articles of trifling worth, amongst others a box with the names " Louisa and Jonathan Childerstone" scratched on it with a pin. A stonemason, named William King, met the prisoner Bird, and taxed him with the robbery. Bird at first denied all knowledge of the affair, but subsequently he ad- mitted that he and a man named Graham had got into the vault, and found " what very well answered their purpose.'' He said that the bailiff Docking remained outside while they were in- side. He stated that one Monday in J une lie " felt very bad, as he had got no money," and Charles Docking, the county court bailiff, and the sexton, paid for some beer for him, and proposed that he should be one of a party to break into a vault He as- sented, and they passed William Graham planting some trees, and asked him to join. They then went in the night and broke into the vault The prisoner told another person that he found £ 45 in gold, a quantity of old coins, some watches, and jewellery, lying besides Mr Childerstone's corpse. He said that Charles Docking took the gold watch, coins, and jewellery up to London to sell them. He also complained that, Docking had not behaved fairly in dividing the money\ When these facts became known, Charles Docking and the man Graham immediately absconded, and though warrants were issued for their apprehension, they have hitherto contrived to baffle all attempts on the part of the police to trace them. Superintendent G- lasier apprehended the prisoner Bird, who did not fly, and the case was clear against him. The prisoner pleaded guilty.— The chairman said that the crime was a most serious and unusual one, and he should take time to consider what sentence he should pass on the prisoner.— Tiie sen- tence was therefore deferred. DEATH FROM STARVATION IN BETHNAL GREEN.— On Monday an inquest was held at the Champion, Weymouth- street, Hack- ney- road, on the body of Caroline James, aged 42, who was al- leged to have died of starvation after being refused relief or ad- mission at the Bethnal Green Workhouse. The deceased resided with her family of nine children at N ® . 37, Wellington- street, Bethnal Green. She was the wife of a silk salesman who had been for six months in prison. Her two eldest daughters earned between them 8s a week. Her son, a youth of 16, had borrowed £ 10 of his employer to stock a small confectioner's shop, and all his earnings, 12s a week, went to repay the loan. The shop did not succeed, and as the rent was about 9s a week, the family fell into extreme distress. Deceased had not enough food, and when greatly reduced and exhausted applied on Saturday week at the workhouse for admission ; but though Dr E. Moore, the parish medical officer, urgently recommended that she should be taken in to save her life, she was refused, and relief was also, it was said, refused. On the following Wednesday morning deceased died, as a witness said, from a broken heart and want of nourishment.— Dr E. Moore, parish medical officer, said that on Saturday week last he visited the deceased at about a quarter to seven in the evening, in consequence of being informed that an order given by his s;> n had not been attended to. Witness then issued the follow- ing order:—" Urgent.— Oct 17.— I hereby certify that I have examined Caroline James, and find her in a delirious state from privation and distress, and I advise that she should be imme- diately admitted into the infirmary. Signed, Edw. Moore, sur- geon. To Messrs Christie, Sadler, and Eunciman, relieving officers, Bethnal Green workhouse." Witness sent that order by- Mr Sinnett, but it was not acted upon.— Dr E. U. Wallace said that he was called to deceased on Wednesday morning, and at 1 first his assistant attended. She was dead when witness saw her. j She was much emaciated. The post mortem examination proved I that the lungs were affected. There was consumption, and the : heart was thin. The stomach and intestines were distended with 1 gas, and presented no trace or remains of food whatever. There ' was a mark of congestion on the stomach from gastric juice, j showing the absence of food. The blood was thin, and the in- i testines and viscera were bloodless, which showed that the absence | of food had been of some duration. He should say that there had 1 been no solid food for some days. She must have been suffering 1 from want of food for longer than some weeks. The liver was nearly white from want of blood. He should say that the cause i of death was consumption, accelerated by want of food ard I proper care and attendance. Dr Moore and Dr Owen assisted at the post mortem examination.— Dr Moore, recalled, said that he ' entirely concurred in the testimony of Dr Wallace. There was evidence in the body of long continued starvation.— The jury then deliberated, and returned the following special verdict:—" We find that death resulted from consumption, accelerated by want of food, and we consider that great blame is due to the relieving officer of the parish of Bethnal Green.''— The proceedings then terminated. FATAL GUN ACCIDENT.— A very sad occurrence took place in the parish of Stoke- bj- Nayland on Friday week, Sir Hugh Nugent, a pupil of Mr Wordsworth, of Gifford's Hall, meeting with his death by a gun accident. It seems that the deceased, who was only 18 years of age, went out with another of Mr Wordsworth's" pupils ( a young Spaniard named Jourequi), and the former, in crossing a ditch, was handing his gun to his friend, holding it by the muzzle, when one of the barrels exploded, and the charge entered his side, inflicting a mortal wound. An in- quest was held at Mr Wordsworth's house on the following day, and a verdict of Accidental Death was returned. BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, OCTOBER 31, 1863. THE CHASE. HUNT CH& NGES AND PROMISES OF SPORT. THE OLD BERKSHIRE:.— As we stated last week, John Tread- well, from the Quorn, returns to the service of his old master, Mr Henlej' Greaves, who has Tom Squires and Will Whe& tiey both with these hounds in the Vale of White Horse, still to whip in to them. Since Tread well's arrival they have had some good sport, but previously were not doing much. THE KEW " FOREST.— Captain Moranfc is again hunting these hounds, with the two Hawtins as his men. The cub hunting has been pretty fair, killing six brace, and running a brace and a half to ground; or in nineteen mornings accounting for fifteen foxes, of which there is a good show in the country. THE SOUTHWQLD.— Harry Tomblin, as huntsman, and Will Backhouse and Ashton, as whips, continue with the committee, of whom Captain Dallas is chairman, and Captain Fox vice- chair- man. The cub hunting here has been above the average of the season, as in twenty- three days out they have killed ten brace, and run five brace to ground, without digging one out. There is a fair show of foxes all over the country, and the entry, of fifteen couple, is doing well. MR DENNIS, in G- alway, has parted with his second man, Michael Meehan, who is succeeded by John Fox, Mr Dennis liimself still carrying the horn. There is a good prospect of sport, excepting only in certain districts, where a breed of pheasants is getting up, and the foxes becoming proportionately scarce. The WOODBRIDGE, or, as they should be more properly styled, the WOODLAND HARRIERS, are now hunted by Mr Chasten, of Brandish Lodge, where new kennels have been erected; the townsmen of either Woodbridge or Framlingham affording but little assistance in the way of subscriptions. The new Master has made a most successful opening, aud being an old hand and fine horseman, is pretty sure to do every justice to the pack. WARE WIRE! TO THE EBITOB OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIR : A few words from your powerful journal might at the present season be of invaluable assistance to the cause of fox hunting. Tour readers are generally aware that, owing to many modern improvements in mechanics and agriculture, a practice Of fencing with wire has gradually been gaining ground, both in the grazing and corn- growing districts of Great Britain, which is most inimical, and not a little dangerous, to the followers of the chase. As an old and enthusiastic sportsman I venture to ad- In the first place, and before entering on the question of conve- nience or self- interest, I appeal boldly to his love of sport, and his essentially British tendency to give fox and hound, and man and j horse, a fair chance. Now, I will put the case fairly to himself. He is riding a favourite young horse, such as the old mare has always bred him when put to a good stallion, a bold, lashing five year old, who objects to nothing except being disappointed and pulled out of his stride ; he has got a capital start; the hounds are streaming away in front of him ; grass fields stretch around to meet a fair November sky, calm, dappled, and serene ; there is no- thing to hold a fox within half a dozen miles, and this gentleman seems pointing for the forest half way across the country. If ever they are to have a run it is to- day. The young one came over that last " rum- nn" like a deer, and my lord, nearly a field behind, is safe to offer three hundred for him if he cannot catch him, and two fifty if he can. Forward ! the young one drops his head, settles to his stride, and his rider's heart leaps within him for joy. There is a fair fence in front, and already he has marked the weakest place, and is drawing his horse together for the effort, when " Ware wire !'' resounds from two or three friendly tongues in his rear. Instanter all the dash and energy that make the whole thing such fun ooze out from his uncertain palms; he looks wistfully at the tempting leap ; the young one, much objecting, and shaking his head violently, is pulled back into a trot; both emerge ignominiously through the left- hand gate, whereas the hounds turn short to the right, and our sportsman is never within a mile of them again till they have run into and broken up their fox! It is worse still if no warning is given, or being given, is not acted on in time. The quickest horse that ever came out of Ire- land or Cheshire cannot save himself, for he cannot see his diffi- culty. You are turned over neck and crop, like a shot rabbit; and even if you escape with neck and collar- bone unkroken, your poor horse ( experto crede) is so much injured as to be unfit for weeks or months to work again. Now I submit that such a casualty of the hunting- field as this can scarce be considered fairly " on the cards ;" that its possibility is bad enough, but that its probability at every alternate fence would reduce the pastime of fox hunting to a game at hazard, which, as the old joke has it, might, indeed, be called sport, but could scarcely be considered pleasure. And this is what, I fear, we are coming to season by season, andday by day. Already parts of Northamptonshire, and a large district of Leicestershire, the cream of all hunting countries, have been ren- dered impracticable and impassable by the substitution of a strong and invisible wire for the rail that used to constitute the pood old- fashioned " oxer,'' that well- known obstacle which the sportsman was proud to overcome, because its successful negotia tion proved that his horse's head and his own heart were in the right place. Already many a hedge has one of these insidious snares wreathed through its binders, and many a fair miie of grass must be coasted and avoided altogether, because of the long, unsightly, so- calied invisible fence that, mars its fair expanse for all galloping purposes, and forces the best and keenest sportsmen to hammer down a hard heart- breaking lane, disappointed, dis- gusted, and distressed. Now, although I do not insist on the necessity of every man riding straight to hounds, and willingly concede that the chase affords intense interest and amusement as well to age on the cob as to manhood on the flyer, yet I think few people will dispute that the sport would soon be discontinued altogether if it could only be pursued along lanes and bridle- roads, if each and all alike were debarred from the excitement of " riding to hounds," and might only obtain glimpses of them at intervals during the most interesting part of their work. It is the wild free idea that makes the charm of the run— the uncertainty where we may go to next, what difficulties hounds may have to en- counter in following their game, and what challenges of skill and courage we may have to accept at every turn in following them, which constitute the superiority of fox hunting over the tamer amusements of the stubbles or the downs. When it becomes a question of wounds aud broken bones at every fence the most ardent will give in, and when the whole essence and spirit of the thing has been thus destroyed, even the old gentlemen and the ladies will cease to interest themselves in an amusement atwhich they can no longer observe and admire the successes they appre- ciate, though they do not participate in them. It would be sad to see the Quorn given up, the Pytchley given up, the Atherstone, the Belvoir, the Cottesmore, the Old Berk- shire, the York and Ainsty, and all the united and dis- united packs that fill your weekly column with their fixtures. It would be a great loss of pleasure ; worse still, it would be a complete stagnation of employment to a large body of our fellow country- men ; and many who have perhaps never given the subject a mo- ment's thought'before, would become suddenly alive to the value of a pack of hounds by their loss. I never have thought, and I never can think, that the yeomen and tenant- farmers of England are a money- loving race. " On the contrary, taken as a class, they are peculiarly liberal, open- handed, and open- hearted. If I wished to put the case before them as a matter of business, I think I should have little difficulty in prov- ing that a cessation of the sport of fox hunting would inflict a deadly blow on their own mercantile interests, but I have too great a respect for them to argue the question as one of pounds, shillings, and pence. No. I appeal to their kindness, their courtesy, their good- humoured appreciation of energy and excel- lence in man and horse; above all, to their own truly British love of sport, and the interest which all, even those who do not them- selves hunt, seem to take in the chase. I appeal to them by their kindly regard for their neighbours, and their affection for the noble animal with which their daily pursuits bring them into such close contact; above all, I appeal to them by their old fashioned and estimable prejudices, if you like to call them so, in favour of skill, pluck, and daring in horsemanship, as in every other pursuit. I would boldly ask every man of them to take down the wires upon his farm from November till May. At the instigation of a noble ex- master of lionnds, a well known and popular sportsman, an address has lately been drawn up and signed by the principal supporters of the Quorn and Pytchley Hounds, praying the farmers and occupiers of land in the dis- tricts hunted by those packs to remove their wires during the regular hunting season. This may be done at an expense trifling indeed" wlien compared with the importance of the result, and as cattle are only inclined to damage the fsnces during the summer, when they run into the hedges under the influence of heat and the irritation of the gadfly, there is no actual necessity for retaining this insidious defence, and for closing the finest pastures in Europe to the enjoyment of the proprietor, t0B tenant, and their respective friends." I venture to ask you, sir, to publish these few hasty lines, in order to give the benefit of your support to the cause I advocate, and to indHcethe large majority of farmers who read your paper to give a fair consideration to the appeal I have endeavoured to make to their liberality and love of sport on be- half of the glorious and truly British sport of fox hunting ; a pur- suit described in a well knoVn sporting novel by the inimitable Mr Jorrocks as " the sport of kings ; the image of war without its guilt," but of which, had he known what it was to be turned over by a wire fence, he never would have added, " and only five- and- t wenty per cent of its danger !"— I remain, sir, your obedient servant, CAPUTS. Oct,- 1863. [ We referred frequently to this growing evil in the course of last season, as we did in our paper on the opening of the season last week, when we said in protest against " the system of wire fences, surety if these cannot be altogether superseded they might be easily removed from October to April, when they are of no possi- ble use, and of the greatest possible danger. A Wire Fence Fund and Acting Committee would be by no means a bad institution, to be com- posed in equal parts of members of the hunt and farmers in the dis- trict.'' We said this much advisedly, as we have consulted several leading farmers in the Shires, themselves hunting men, on the sub- ject, amongst whom the opinion appears to be there could be no objection to removing the wires during the winter, but that this should be done at the expense of the country. Farmers after all do willingly " suffer" something in the'r love for the chase, as our acconiplisheded correspondent so graphically puts it, but then wire fencing is found to be a deal more economical than the good old post and rail, and we consequently believe that for the best in- terests of all our suggestion as to a Wire Fence Fund and Com- mittee must sooner or later be adopted— the sooner the better.— ED Bell's Life.] THE PYTCHLEY HOUNDS. MR EDITOR : Really it is hard to conceive a prettier sight than that which met my eyes on this most lovely autumnal morning, when riding gently through Harleston Heath in hopes of coming across the hounds on their first cub hunting day in the open. Those picturesque bits of scenery in a real good hunting country are not to be desired. no hills and dales. no rocky places to lame the horses. but nice, level galloping ground amidst lofty fir trees, ferns on every side forming a most excellent cover for game of all sorts. Such scenery I should like to see described by the gay and gallant author who stands quite unrivalled in that line, as doubtless all will agree with me in saying who have read those passages ef his in Holdmby limine describing the country around. But I must hark back, and try and describe the sight which in particular struck ine as I was sauntering along, horse and self given up to the enjoyment of the varied delights of such an October morning. We were suddenly aroused by a whimper at the other side of the cover, the cheery voice of our old friend Charles Payne, " Yo- yeote! have at him there !" aroused both horse and self from our reverie, and stiff and still for a minute did we stand— the blood, I can answer for it, running through my old veins a great deal faster than it has done since stirred up in the same way last season. Well, we did not stand long in suspense, a slight rustle amongst the ferns, and out softly bounded one of the most grace- ful animals in creation, a full grown cub. Being concealed be- hind a fir tree, I was enabled to watch him quite unpereeived for at least half a minute, and the way in which he pricked his ears and listened with one foot raised from the ground was the most charming study from nature that I ever witnessed. The hounds had evidently settled to another, so as soon as my friend disap- peared oft I galloped to join them. Hot work it was too, and, after at least, an hour's badgering about, we only succeeded in running a brace to ground in some not- to- be- stopped rabbit burrows. Away we went at once to Nobottle Wood; no end of foxes again, and, though there was little scent, we managed to hunt one to death. In most countries I fancy after four or five hours' work in such melting weather, with the ground hard as a stone, " Home" would have been the word, but " Not yet" was the cry. Forward to Brington Gorse, a regular little Agapemone, and a very popular one too, for, though not more than three acres, at least six foxes broke cover in different directions at the same time. Of course there was some difficulty in getting the hounds together, but the men were very quick, and the hounds soon settled on one, which teok the direction of Althorp Park, but soon got to ground. However, he was bolted immediately, and by some extraordinary luck slipped through the hounds, though Charles did all he knew to kill him. He then made his way out of the park, across the Northampton road, pointing for Holdenby, through Blackthorn Cover towards Church Brampton, where they bore to the right for Harleston Heath. Here he was viewed dead beat; but most unfortunately a fresh fox jumped up, the , hounds changed, and were deprived of their well- earned treat. It was extremely hot during this last burst, and of course very- trying for both hounds and horses. The way the former ac- quitted themselves after their hard work all the morning, showed their condition was first- rate, and that Charles Payne is as great in the kennel as in the field. As is usual at this eariy period the fences were very blind, and numerous essualties occurred. One gentleman's horse walked all over him, but, curious to say, there was not much harm done. One, too, who has made the" pastures of Holdmby as famous in his story of later days as they have been for very many years in the history of our kingdom came to some slight grief, but was very quickly all right again. I will not enter into more detail of this most successful beginning, but as every enjoyment has its drawback, I must repeat that which you have already reported in your paper, viz, that our noble master, Lord Spencer, will not be with us this season. No one can be more popular, and his I03S will BE deeply felt, from the highest to the lowest. I need not say that the great- est. anxiety is expressed with regaid to his lordship's health, and that all unite in the most earnest hope that he may derive much benefit from the change of climate, and next year again tee able to take the cost of Master of the Pytehley, which he h, w so ably and efficiently filled.— lours, & c, OLD PYTCULEY. Oct 23. FINE RUN WITH THE MONTGOMERY HARRIERS On Mosday, Oct 26, this pack proceeded to Rockley to look for a stag that had recently been seen in that neighbourhood. He was discovered to have left the wood an hour before the arrival of the hounds, but, on making a wide cast, they hit. him off near Cae Prior, and went away at a good pace past Sidnal am? Lower Lane, to the village of Chirbury, then turned to the right, and crossing the Camlad, went up Marrington Dingle, and over by the King's Wood to Aldrass Dingle, where the hounds got a view of him, and raced him through the Spy Wood up to Corndon. Not liking to face the steep hill with such a tune at his heels, he turned to the left, and came by a bank back to Harrington Dingle, and down to Whitrey Bridge, where he crossed the river, and going up past the Hall made for Timberth, then turned to the left, and went into Rockley Wood again; here the hares were jumping lip in all directions, and running through the hounds, but they never took the slightest notice of them, and sticking to the game before them, drove him through Whitrey Covers, across Lyrnore Park, through the Decoy, to the Butchers' Nursery, over the Town Hill, through GwerneruchanDinpieto CefnLlan; down past Llandyssil Village to the Pentre, where he turned to theright, and crossing the Newtown Road, went into the Henfron Wood, out of which he was viewed by the hounds, and shortly run into. Every hound was up at the finish, ahhough the chase lasted full three hours, the distance being about twenty- five miles. TESTIMONIAL TO A SPORTSMAN- SIR : It is gratifying to be able to record any good thing connected with fox hunting, therefore I venture to send you a short account of a pleasing testimonial that was presented yesterday to Thomas Wheeler, Esq, of Torton, one of the best preservers of foxes on this side the Worcestershire country. The testimonial, a subscription one, was elaborately got up by Man- ning, of Worcester, consisting of silver soup tureen and ladle, six salts, and salver. The tureen bore the following inscription:— " Presented, together with six salt3 and silver, to Thomas Wheeler, Esq, of Torton, by his neighbours and friends, for his liberality as a preserver of foxes, and his uniform courtesy and kindness as a sportsman and a gentleman. Oct., 1863.'' It. was presented at Bintley, the house of Mr J. Lowe, chairman of the committee, in a neat and enthusiastic speech. Mr Lowe dwelt at some length upon Mr Wheeler in the capacity of a father, a gentleman, and a neighbour, but when he came to touch upon him as a sportsman he did so with diffidence, for meeting with a man who, foregoing his love of the trigger, gave up his covert solely to the Hunt, preserving foxes in spite of difficulties (" in this case these were legion");' and when surrounding coverts, which he grieved to say should hold foxes, were invariably drawn blank, with Bishop's Wood still a certain And, he felt it required a more eloquent tongue to express the real sentiments of the hunt to that gentleman. * After expatiaring with great force upon fox hunting, its advantages, the difficulties preservers had to contend with, and the abject feeling of those who should, but do not preserve, he concluded by trusting Mr Wheeler would ac- cept the small testimonial before him, not for its intrinsic value, but for the spirit in which it was given. Mr Wheeler replied in a short but pithy speech, and concluded by hoping that Bishop's Wood would long continue one of the favourite Worcestershire meets, and assured us nothing should be wanted on his part to effect this object. I need scarcely add Mr Lowe treated us in the most hospitable style, and the merry evening will long, be re- membered by those who were present.— Yours, & c, October 29. ONE OF THE COMMITTEE. Fox HOTTING IN FRANCE.— The experiment for the establish- ment at La Christiniere of fox hunting on the English model has excited much interest. The establishment comprises kennels, but these will be occupied after Dec 15 by the Prince de Sagan with his stag hunting " equipage.'* New kennels have been built for the English pack, at a distance of about 300 metres, on the shores of a small water- course. The kennels proper of La ChristiniSre, which is situated by the side of the road from Houdan to Ram- bouillet, will thus be left to the stag- hunting establishment, which will limit alternately with the hounds of M Paul Caillard after Dec 15. The committee of management is composed of the Due d'Ayen, Baron NiviSre, the Prince de Sagan, the Comte de Pra- contal, the Comte de Gar. nay, the Marquis de Lau, Prince de Hennen d'Alsace, the Comte de Cestalbajac, and M Paul Caillard. The staff attending the hounds is composed of Strange, huntsman; Stevens, first whip; Atkinson, second whip; and a kennelman. The stable comprises 1- 5 hunters of the first class, among which may be mentioned Cotswold, Glowworm, White IJose, and Bram- ble, which have won steeple chases in England. ' MCaiHardhas collected on the same property a racing stable, a training- ground, an establishment for stag hunting, a pack of foxhounds, with arrangements for annual steeple chases. The first meeting for the season took place on Monday, but was thinly attended. An old fox was found, and was killed after a good run of 55inin. The brush of this the first fox taken by the first English pack which has really hunted in France was presented to the Comte de Pracontal, PIGEON SHOOTING.

FIRE AT BLACKWALL.— On Tuesday, Oct 27, a fire broke out at Mr Langley's, ship chandler, Russell- street, Black wall, close to the West India Docks. The premises occupied a considerable space on the north side of the street, and comprised oil and paint stores, rope, sail, chain, and other warehouses and lofts. The first intimation the neighbourhood had of the outbreak of the fire was an alarming explosion, which blew out the front of that sec- | tion of the building used for the storing of oils, & c, the concus- I sion being felt for some distance round. Immense clouds of black I smoke immediately followed the shock, and in a few moments a • large sheet of flame shot up. For a time there was a kind of ! panic amongst the inhabitants, who were apprehensive of another ! and more serious explosion, and it is stated that in less than ten ! minutes or so nearly the whole of the property presented one ; sheet of fire, illuminating the shipping in the river and the adja- ; cent docks. The whole of Mr Langley's premises were destroyed, I with their contents, and much damage done to adjacent property, before the flames were extinguished. AMATEUR PEDESTRIANS. MR EDITOR: Observing in your last impression a letter pro- posing to make amateur pedestrianism an institution, I write to state some of the difficulties amateur pedestrians have to contend with, heading cf Captain Machell's performance, and fired with a noble emulation, I made a match with a friend for 100 yards. We trained as much as it is possible for men actively engaged in business, and the event was to have come off last Saturday on the Hendon road. On our arriving on the ground, accom- panied by a few friends, we found two policemen, and an indi- vidual on horseback who was dressed like a groom, but whose blue trowsers and regulation stirrups showed him to be a patrol. One of the policemen advanced, and informed us that he would not allow us to run, and that he was prepared to follow us any- where in order to prevent the race. Seeing he was determined, and as we had no chance of giving the force the slip, as the mounted patrol would be sure to keep up with us, we made the best of our position, abandoned all idea of the match for that afternoon, and decided on taking a country walk. Eor three hours we were followed by the police as if we had been the scum of London, and we only got rid of them by separating our party. The sergeant ( 8 6) who took the initia- tive in all this was possessed of the wooden demeanour and limi- ted powers of discrimination peculiar to the force. On his first interfering we offered to run the race before him, and represented that we could not disturb the traffic, as it would be all over in a few minutes. To show how quiet the road is, I may mention that it was half an hour from the time when we were interrupted before a vehicle came in sight, and that the outside public were represented by a militiaman and a very small boy indeed. When German bands and acrobats are allowed to perform in the streets in to- YD, and perambulators are tolerated on the pavement, it seems hard that the admirers of a manly pastime should net be allowed to ride their hobby along a quiet country road. The im- punity with which street robberies are committed, and the recent outrages at Newington- causeway, do not give one a very great idea of the efficiency of the police. If the force were less offi- cious in suppressing imaginary and doubtful nuisances, and more active in stopping real ones, they would have the public confidence more than they have at present. In conclusion, I should advise those amateurs who may contemplate running in the suburbs of London to avoid the district where that " active and intelligent officer" 8 6 reigns supreme.— Yours, & c, J. H. E, London, Oct 26, 1863. MR EDITOR : In your last impression a letter from " An Ama- teur" appears, in which he suggests the practicability of forming a club composed of gentlemen ( to the exclusion of professional pedestrians). Such an opportunity now presents itself, as I am forming a club confined to amateurs, for an annual subscription of one guinea, entitling them to the exclusive use of the race course, large club room, shower bath, & c, every Saturday throughout the year and every day for practice ( except when a public match be on) ; and I shall be happy to co- operate with any gentlemen forming a committee, knowing there is a growing liking for the sport under proper auspices.— Tours, & c, J. W. ROBEBTS. West London Cricket Ground, Oct 29, 183- 3. PEDESTRIANISM AT BOW. MOUNTJOY AND ROBINSON.— On Saturday, Oct 24, there was a capital attendance of the metropolitans assembled on C. Wilson's enclosed ground, to witness a match bet ween the above named pedestrians, who had to walk 2- 5 miles, fair heel and toe, for £ 10 a side. When the customary preliminaries had been adjusted, the competitors came to the mark, and made ready to start on their long journey. The match, however, proved a most one- sided affair, and caused the greatest disappointment to those who at- tended the meeting with the expectation of witnessing a well sustained and exciting struggle. On going off the men did so at a good pace, aud kept well together for the first two or three miles, walking with the most unexceptionable fairness. When, however, this portion of the distance had been accomplished, and when the competitors had indeed only got fairly settled down to their work, Robinson gave the most convincing proof he was in- finitely superior to his opponent in speed, for he now went to the fore, and speedily placed a formidable gap between them. Dur- ing the performance of the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth miles Mountjoy fell more and more in the rear, and finding he had not the least chance, pulled up and resigned in the perform- ance of the ninth mile. Robinson now being left in undisputed possession of the course, walked on by himself at a leisure pace, until 15 miles of the distance had been completed, when the backers of Mountjoy told him he might pull up, as they were sa- tisfied he had fairly won, and did not require Mm to walk out the remaining 10 miles. BROWN OF STRATFORD AND BURFIELD OF HACKNEY.— These men also came on the ground to run a mile, for £ 10 a side, Brown being allowed 30 yards. The odds were 6 to 4 on Brown, and in adjusting the preparatory matters J, Pudney, the M. C., was cho- sen referee. On the start being effected the pedestrians went rat- tling along at a clipping pace, Brown, it. was apparent from the manner in which he put on the high pressure, being resolved, if possible, not to lose any of the advantage allowed him by his competitor. Despite the strenuous efforts made by Brown he could not prevent his opponent from gaining on him, and when the pedestrians passed the referee for the completion of the first lap it was observed that Burfield had succeeded in diminishing the gap between tliem in a rather decided manner. During the second lap the race on the part of the men was sustained in a most plucky and resolute style, and from the way in which Bur- field still further lessened the gap which separated him from his opponent his friends became more and more confident as to the ultimate issue of the struggle. When the pedestrians came by to enter upon the third and last lap Brown at most did not head his opponent by more than 10 yards. The excitement that now pre- vailed among their partisans was great, and the men were again and again hailed by the most deafening cheers. As they drew on to the finish Burfield made the most gallant effort to finally close on his man and wrest from him the lead. Foot by foot as they came dashing along he got closer upon Brown's quarters, and was so well up in the rear that as the competitors entered upon the straight run to the goal Burfield wa3 not more than two yards in the rear. Now came the final crisis of the race, and Burfield, gathering himself well together, made a vigorous spurt to, if pos- sible, pass his man and come to the front. When, however, the hopes of Burfield's friends were highest they were destined not to have them realised, for Brown maintained " the advantage of posi- tion to the end, and went in a winner by a couple of yards. LAWSON AND DUFFIELD.— These pedestrians likewise con- tended in a spin of 120 yards, for £ 5 a side. The duties of referee were again undertaken hy J. Pudney. The competitors agreed to go by mutual consent, and after some few attempts they got off, Dufiield having a trifle the best of the start. Notwithstanding the race was well and spiritedly contested on the part of Lawson, the lead was maintained by Duffield from end to end, and he landed at the goal a fine winner by not more than a yard. On Monday, Oct 26, the grouud was engaged for a donkey match of three miles, for £ 10 a side, which was won by Mr Spicer's " Jerusalem," doing the distance in 15min ljsec. There were more than 1,900 spectators present to witness the performance. HAMMOND V TIME.— After the above, Hammond, who is more than 40 years of age, was backed, for £ 10 even, to walk, fair heel and toe, six miles within the hour, which he succeeded in bring- ing to a successful termination, accomplishing the match in 59: nin 55see, so that it will be seen the old- un completed the sti- pulated distance 5sec within the allotted time. PEDEST& IANISM AT HACKNEY WICK- The weather on Monday, Oct 26, was exceedingly fine, and between 400 and 500 persons assembled on Mr J. Baum's ground to witness the sports. The first, and indeed the only one of con- sequence, was A great St Leger half- mile handicap, for a silver cup, of £ 10 value, together with some money prizes, all given by Mr Clark, of the Goldsmiths' Arms, Little Sutton- street, Clerkenwell, to be run in heats. No less than 64 pedestrians had entered their names, but not more than about half that number accepted. At three o'clock W. Price, the M. C., having marshalled his forces, prepared to start the men for the— First heat: For this seven started, and after a capital struggle it was won by Freeman, beating C. Thompson by two yards.— Second heat : Five started ; won by Gardner by four yards; J. Biniih second ; the rest nowhere.— Third heat : Five started; cleverly won by Charles by six yards ; Lewis second ; Lake third ; the others " tailed off" in the third lap.— Fourth heat: Six started ; in this lap Wood passed Burrell in the second lap, when Burrell shortly after- wards gave up, on which Yates took the leading position, was never overtaken, and ran in a winner by a dozen yards ; G. Smith second; the rest did not go the distance.— Fifth heat: Six started ( Cooper going in place of Heslop) ; Sarey kept the lead through- out the first and second laps, when Cooper got up to him ; they ran shoulder to shoulder for the next lap, but here Cooper shot ahead and won by a yard and a half, Sarey second.— Sixth heat: For this heat there were six competitors, and, after a well- con- tested race, Coe of Mile End proved the victor, Payne seeond, and Cousins third. After a lapse of half an hour the six winners of the previous heats, namely, Freeman 90, Gardner 85, Charles 105, Yates 95, Cooper 75, aiid Coe 80, toed the scratch for the final heat. Betting: Yates against the field at evens.

This brought the sports of the day to a termination. The cup and prizes we are informed are to be given up on Wednesday evening next, Nov 4, at Mr Clark's as above. PEDESTRIANISM AT BROMPTON. On Saturday, Oct 24, this ground was well attended to witness the attempt of a novice ( Markham) to run 10£ miles in one hour, for a bet of £ 10 to £ 5. Langley, the pedestrian, was chosen referee and timekeeper. Markham ran well for three miles, when he stopped, from his umpire telling him he had occupied 17min 45see, whereas he had only been 16min 4osec. The time wasted in rectifying the mistake was fatal to his chance, so he abandoned any further attempt, but is anxious to make a fresh match. There was also a 440 yards race between Tweedle and Wilson, which Tweedle ran over for, Wilson not showing according to articles. On Monday J. Hancock and Jones ( alias Fullerton) ran their 150 yards race, for £ 10, Mr Roberts being selected referee. They started by mutual consent, aud at the tenth attempt broke away, Jones with a yard the best of it, which availed him little, as Hancock ran w ith him easily till near the goal, when he came away and won by four yards. Time, over 17seo. The winner can have the stakes at twelve o'clock on Thursday. On Tuesday Deacon and Hill ran their one mile race, for £ 5 a side, the meeting being well attended. Mr Roberts was referee. After a good struggle on the part of both men all the way, Deacon ! won a very slow race by five yards. Time, 6min5sec. The winner : can have the stakes at twelve o'clock on Thursday at our office. WINDERMERE COLLEGE ATHLETIC SPORTS.

LANG VERSUS TIME.— The great undertaking of William Lang of Middlesborough to run one mile in fsur minutes fifteen se- conds, the backer of Time laying £ 50 to £ 25, came off on Friday, Oct 30, at Newmarket, in the presence of a large attendance of admirers of pedestrianism. Lang, who was born at Stockton- on- Tees, is 25 years of age in December next; he stands oft 8£ in in height, and weighs in racing costume lOst 21b, He is a remarkably well- built young man, with very fine chest, broad shoulders, good back, hips, and loins, muscular thighs, and fine- shaped legs, with great ability to use them. At about half- past nine o'clock a. m. he appeared at the scratch, starting on the Cambridge turnpike- road and finishing in the town, facing the Betting Rooms; and, in consequence of the racing having been fixed to commence at ten, no time was lost in adjusting the pre- liminaries, At the signal given Lang bounded away at a splitting pace, taking extraordinary long, lurching strides, and, to the astonishment of almost every one, he completed his arduous un- dertaking in four minutes two seconds^ He ran the first quarter TEE DRAMA. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.— A short autumnal season of Italian operas is not altogether a novelty at this theatre, but the experi- ment has never been attended with such successful results asduring the past week, when Mr Mapleson's company has been performing M Gounod's opera of " Faust'' to audiences which have filled every part of the house. The popularity of this great musical work in this country seems to increase with every representation of it; a charm and fascination, evidently of an enduring nature, cling to its production on any operatic stage, atid in whatever form it may be presented. The numbers who flocked to this theatre on Saturday, Oot 24, seemed nothing daunted bv one un- welcome fact which arrested their steps at the very threshold; Mr Sims Reeves, wiiowas to have appeared for the first time in London as Faust, was ill, and could not appear, whilst Signer Volpini, who took his place in the opera, came from a sick bed to do so. Notwithstanding this misfortune the opera went off with great icldt, several of the choicest morccnux being vehemently ap- plauded and encored. Mdlle Titieus sang with all her wonted energy aad power, and in the last act roused the sympathies of the audience by displaying the lull resources of " her magnificent voice. As Siebel, Mdlle Trebelii sang " La parlate d'tfmor," in the garden scene so sweetly as to command its repetition, and through- out the opera gave unrningied pleasure bv the luscious quality of her sympathetic and melodious voice. In those passages where Valentin appears, especially in the duel scene, Mr Santley is with- out a rival, the finish of his acting being marvellous for' the time he has| inade the character a study, whilst the high school in which he has been trained as a vocalist has never been i » ore conspicu- ously developed. The contrast between the withering force of the malediction and the feeble expiring anguish as he sinks exhausted in the arms of the soldiers, in the death scene, is equal to any of tfie finest reali sations of the lyric stage. As a well- conceived piece of acting, and refined and pure instance of good vocalisation, it has never been surpassed, and elevates the artiste at once to a niche in the temple of operatic fame. The chorus were as efficient as during the past summer, and the band testified to much careful training, under the accomplished management of Signor Arditi, who presided at their head. A word of praise is due to Madame Taccani for her performance of the small part oi Marca. Since the first aud second nights Signor Bossi has been replaced by Signor Marches! as Mephistophiles, but the remembrance of M Faure in the character has not been obliterated by any peculiar merit in either representative. On Monday Mr Sims Reeves ap- peared as the hero, and fully answered the expectations likely to have been entertained of his singing and acting a part so trying in every operatic sense of; the word. At first, Irobed in liisdoctor's dress, and absorbed in his study, the audience did not recognise him, but upon the first utterance of his voice tiie greetings were neither scanty nor ill bestowed. Mr Reeves gives a r. rue, tender reading to the various situations in which Faust is placed, chiefly excelling in theexquisitely beautiful solo before thedwellingof Marguerite, " Salve dimora casta," the pathos being admirably toned to accord with the sentiment conveyed. Nor is his share of the grand trio in the fourth act to be passed over without, commendation for the zeal and dramatic fervour with which every note is enunciated. HAYMARKET THEATRE.— When Mr Charles Mathews, after an absence of two years " At Home'' and abroad, made his entree on the stage on Monday night, the audience appeared as pleased to see him as lie evidently was gratified at the heartiness of their re- ception of him. Let us at once say that this genial and accom- plished actor has returned to us with all his faculties unimpaired, and that iiis imperturbable coolness and self- possession were never more strikingly displayed than by his performance of his old cha- racter of Mr Plumper in the old Lyceum farce of " Cool as a Cucumber," in which, by the way, under its French name of " Un Anglais Timide," he has been amusing the Parisians at the Varices for forty nights past, as our readers are fully aware. After the farce Mr Pianch& s, classical extravaganza, entitled " The Golden Fleece," which WRS originally produced at this theatre, was revived, with several alterations in the music to the songs to suit the taste of the day. IN this Mrs Charles Mathews appeared, and took for the first time the character of Medea, and astonished the audience by the vigour of her delineation ; in the second part, especially, giving the' song descriptive of her determination to wreak vengeance on the luckless head of her husband Jason with capital spirit and effect. Mr Mathews enacted the whole body of the Chorus with an increase, if it be possible, of his genial powers as an actor, and kept the house in roars of laughter by his cool and quiet effrontery and unabashed assurance. He sang the cele- brated " Dream Song," and a patter song of similar description, with never- tiring animation, adding a new verse to the first., and though rattling along with marvellous musical speed, yet giving to of a mile in 55 seconds, the second quarter in 59 seconds che third e^ ery word its due and proper emphasis.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK- LANE.- FRIDAY. The arrivals of English Wheat and other grain of home produce at Mark- lane this week have been on the increase, with good imports of foreign Wheat and Oats. Buyers were shy ; in their attendance to- day, and very little was done in either English or foreign Wheat, still price8 were not quoted lower. The Elour trade participated in the dulneas* and lower prices are looked for. Fine malting Barley quite as dear, but other descriptions were dull at the late decline. Best Oats sold steadily at full prices, and all other kinds were inactive and somewhat cheaper. Beans were rather quiet at Monday's further decline of Is per qr. Peas were much in request, but prices steany. On the whoie, the country markets have been well supplied with home- grown Wheat this week, in good average condition. The trade in all The leading towns has been rather more steady than of late, and fn a few instances Is per qr advance has been made for very superior samples, otherwise business has been dull. The demand for line Barley has generally improved, but other kinds continue to give way.

BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, OCTOBER 31, 1863. SPORTING CHRONICLE. [ SPECIAL EDITION.] THE TUEF. Horses marked * are in the Derby, t in the Oaks, J in the Leger. THE NEWMABKET HOUGHTON MEETING. With a list embracing so many items as to average nearly a dozen per diem, and with horses in abundance to compete for the same, there appeared at the outset little prospect of the Houghton Meeting moulting a single feather of its • world renowned popularity, the more especially as the ac- ceptances for the Cambridgeshire were, to say the least of it, quite as flattering as those for the Cesarewitcb, and seldom, indeed, has the wagering been so heavy on this especial race. With Lioness out of the contest it could scarcely be other- wise than that Limosina, after her Cesarewitch running, should have been strongly fancied for the great event of the last gathering of the season at Newmarket; and apart from a temporary depres. sion, owing to her stable companion Gemma having been " put up" rather industriously last week, she had been " firm as oak" in the market ever since. From this temporary depression, how- ever, Limosina so far recovered last Saturday that at the meeting that afternoon, at " the Corner," she returned to 4to 1, while Catch ' em Alive, who had also been under a cloud, was backed once more at 0 to 1. The other latest movements of the week may be thus briefly noted, in order to post matters duly up. Carnival, on whom certain of the Newmarket division were especially " sweet," despite his heavy impost, found backers at 12 to 1, while Exchequer was a shade or two better than on Thursday, at 15 to 1, though still anything but firm. There was also an evident dispo. sition to baek Suminerside, while on the contrary Port Royal, under certain unfavourable rumours, retrogressed to 25 to 1. Bird- hill, some time a prominent favourite, was friendless at 40 to 1. Grande Dame, recently arrived from Chantilly, was supported at the latter price, and Hubert, driven to 1,000 to 10 on Thursday, was occasionally " nibbled at" at the same figure as the French mare. At the price just named, Woldga, Comet, Tolurno, and Muezzin— the latter on the off chance of being the real Simon Pure of William Day's stable— met with many supporters. Ba- thilde, beaten in her trial, went away to 50 to 1, and Gemma, having done duty far a time, to 1,000 to 1- 5. The usual " special'' despatched from Shoreditch on Sunday morning was most exten- sively patronised, and if matters were somewhat quiet on the eve of the Second October Meeting, the reverse was most certainly the case now, for the town was " full to o'erflowing full,'' and the already made known intention of the Prince of Wales to be pre- sent again on the Cambridgeshire day gave additional animation to affairs that already looked remarkably promising. There • was abundance of time between the arrival of the special and the customary dinner hour to inquire as to what was doing, and whe- ther there was " anything fresh." The gossip anent the morning experiences being that from eight to about half- past ten o'clock, many horses went the Cambridgeshire Course, and that Hubert broke down after going about half way in his gallop with New- church. Then again Woldga— so it was said—" pulled up lame'' in his spin with Argonaut, while Umpire led Exchequer a nice gallop, as did Waterwitch Port Royal. Tolurno, too, had a good one, led by Twilight, and John Osborne's string went the course in the wake of Fanfaron. Three o£ William Goater's were also out— Aurelian, Farnhurst, and Merry Hart, while Despair, who went verv well, followed Queen of Trumps. Polynesia, in company with Bathildeand Black Lily, also traversed the ground, ever which Limosina had had a rattling gallop the day before. The other leading favourite, Catch ' em Alive, did not arrive until the after- noon. Fairwater, however, we may just note, led Ely two good spins over the Criterion Course. The morning was delightfully fine, but, considering the close approach of the Cambridgeshire, very few of the gentlemen were present. Not many members looked into the Subscription Boom during the evening, and but little was done. The favourite was remarkably steady at 4 to 1; but Catch ' em Alive did not appear to hold his friends quite so firm, and receded at one period to 13 to 2, but, prior to the remnant of the members leaving, half a point less was taken. 12 to 1 was repeatedly offered about Carnival, without meeting with a response, while 100 to 6 was quietly taken about Summer- side, and her owner offered to back her " coupled" with Limo- sina, but 5 to 2 was the highest price proffered against the pair. Ex- chequer was supported for some money at 100 to 6 ; 25 was taken several times about T » lurno ; and 33 to 1 each about Despair, Jack of Hearts, and Muezzin. Hospodar was also introduced, and backed at 40 to 1 to win some money, and at ten points over those odds Baldwin was brought under notice.

Fog was in the ascendant on Monday morning. Fog on the Heath, and fog in the High- street, fcg here, there., and every- where, so that a notice posted about eleven o'clock in front of the Subscription Room, to the effect that the first race was postponed from half- past twelve until one o'clock, excited no surprise. Very little was, however, done on the Cambridgeshire during the morn- ing, neither had matters greatly improved with regard to the fog up to the time of moving onwards to the Heath for the first race, the Houghton Meeting being appropriately opened with the Han- dicap Plate over the Cambridgeshire Course. Although it cer- tainly looked a " good thing" for Stoekinger, the " certainty" did not materially decrease the field, for of the four- and- twenty horses haudicapped four only proved non- starters, but the betting was very confined, Stockinger, as a matter of course, being a warm favourite, and he ran home the easiest of winners three lengths in advance of Aurelian; whilst Twilight, who was giving the winner 361b, finishing a length from the second. Last year, it will probably be remembered, this race wasa complete " muddle," ow- ing to a false start taking place, and several of the competitors ran ithecourse through, and many consequently in the buna fide start did not again go to the post; and on this occasion another contre- temps had nearly occurred, for, owing to the fog, the lot were very near running the wrong side of the Criterion post, Doyle, who was in advance, only just by dextrous management twisting his horse round in time to save him going out and leading the rest astray. The very easy victory of Stockinger led to a shorter price being taken about Bathilde for the Cambridgeshire, but she speedily went back again to 40 to 1, and her stable companion Polynesia became the better favourite at 33 to 1. The running of Twilight it would appear was to a certain extent satisfactory to her party, for 25 to 1 was booked afterwards very freely about Tolurno. A movement next took place to the Flat, the match be- tween Black Lily, 5 yrs, 8st 71b, and No Name, 2 yrs, 6st 51b, over the last half of the Rowley Mile, being next brought to issue. The latter was of course made the favourite, for, displaying as she has hitherto done much quality, she is doubtless a " clipper'' over that distance, although she won by a head only on this occasion. The third event decided was the Handicap Sweepstakes, Rowley Mile, and Wingrave of the entered seven was the only absent one, while Manrico was made the favourite, but the vastly improved looking Almack won in in a canter, although his chance on paper did not perhaps look so rosy as either Manrico or The Principal. The Maiden Plate for two year olds brought out a dozen runners, and Rothschild, who was claimed by Lord Westmoreland at the Bedford meeting, after bolting out of the race, and running into a ditch with his jockey, was the " selected'' one, and proved much too good for the lot opposed to him, for he won right cleverly. The winner, who is a remarkably good goer, was then claimed by Lord William Powlett. Lord Westmoreland thereon claimed Lord William's filly; subsequently, however, both claims were withdrawn, and matters remained in statu quo, Lord Annesley's filly by Stock well out of Sweetsauce's dam, with 2 to 1 on her, defeated Privateer very cleverly in their three quarters of a mile match ; and Lady Derby, who started as good a favourite as any- thing, running in her old form, pulled through in the Selling Handicap Sweepstakes by half a length from Damascus, who was also backed for money. For this race Edwards rather early in the afternoon weighed for Lord Stamford's Knave of Trumps, the race being set for half- past three. About five minutes past three, however, a message was conveyed to Mr Manning, by Lord Stamford's direction, that the horse would not run, and the number was not therefore put up. Edwards, however, in ignorance it would seem of the order given elsewhere, had made his way to the post with thehorse, who actu> ally took part in the " break away" that occurred prior to the start, and Mr J. Dawson only reached the post just time enough to save him taking part in the race itself. The fog, which had for a time completely cleared off, now began to sweep over the Heath again, and objects at a short distance shortly became as indistinct, and about as difficult to " make ® ut" as the'Cambridgeshire winner of the morrow. East Sheen alone of the eleven entered for the Bretby Stakes Course Sweepstakes was drawn, and Lord Burleigh became in hot request. The race was run, and Lord Burleigh won; the lot running home in such obscurity that the majority of persons present were unaware of the fact, and the betting went on briskly in the ring long after Lord Burleigh's number had been put up as the winner over the judge's ohair. At length, like so many Rip Van Winkles, speculators awoke to the reality, and the Criterion Stakes, being the next and last race of the day, the venue was once more changed to the " in'' of the " turn of the lands." Twelve of the coloured seventeen had weighed out for the last- named event, but so dense had now become the fog that one could scarcely see twenty yards before him, and the stewards therefore, to the satisfaction of most per- sons, especially! perhaps, the jockeys, postponed the race until the morrow— the sport being thus abruptly brought to a close. The attendance was very great for an opening day, throughout which bookmakers had a very hot time of it. The wagering on the Cam- bridgeshire was, on the whole, very tame, and beyond the few movements we have already noted after the first race nothing of import occurred to call forspecial remark, and that no great varia- tion took place in the " price current" up to dinner time will be seen on reference to the list appended to the day's racing.

Fixed for 12: 30, the race, for reasons explained in our introductory remarks, was put off till one o'clock, ten minutes after which hour, owing to a failure or two, the signal was given to a capital start. The line, however, was soon broken, for strange to say, though unable to see more than fifty yards ahead in the fog, the pace was made clipping by the division in front, consisting, as near as we can learn, of Lady Louisa, Liston, Touch and go. Revolver, and Stockinger, so strong, indeed, that a tail was soon presented, witli Gorse and King of Utopia bringing up the rear. Bearing to the right, says a bystander, it looked a guinea to a shilling about the lot running clean out of the course, until the Criterion post, with its surrounding rails, beaconed the leaders as it were more into the direct track. Doyle, in front, and with others all but in collision with their wooden friend, then pulled to the left, all thence discernible being that at the New Stand Lady Louisa was a good length in command of the favourite, close up with whom Touch and Go and Liston still headed the ruck. As the latter gave way in rising the hill, the two old ones, Twilight and Aurelian, got on better terms with the forward horses, of whom Lady Louisa shut up directly after passing the old red post, and Lord Wilton's colours were viewed in advance. Two distances from home, Queen of Trumps, always handy by herself on the left, became and Summerside, while Port Royal declined to " any nearly level with the leader, but fell back in a few strides, while price." In fact, there was but little time to pursue spe- of those continuing in immediate pursuit Edwards was ^ culation at all at the Room, for a very early movement on Mr Samuel's mare. However, nothing from the last- . . ' J'. J ,, , mentioned point, or, in fact, at any part of the race, possessed i to the Heath was of course imperative.

Revolver, Liston, Disappointment, and Waterwitch, the last being Douche and King of Utopia, followed by Lady Louisa, who walked in. Owing to the fog this and the other races to- day were not timed.

The favourite and Almack ran together in ad- vance to half way up the Bushes hill, where the latter took up the running, and, increasing his lead as he went on, won in a canter by four lengths; The Principal, becoming second in the last fifty yards, finished as far in front of Lord Strathmore's colt, the rest, headed by Newchurch, being early out of the race.

An indifferent start was effected at the second attempt, the light weight and Damascus showing in advance, followed by Lady Derby, Mrs Somerville, Leotard, Newsmonger, and Country Maid, the last off being Cellarius, whose head was turned round when the signal was given. They ran thus for about two hundred yards, when Jenny Wren fell back, and the running was carried on by Damascus to the cord3, where Lady Derby challenged, headed him in the last dozen strides, and won cleverly by half a length. Country Maid, improving her position towards the finish, was third, a length off, succeeded at a moderate interval by Rubini and Leotard together, Jenny Wren next, Actaion whipping in.

Three lengths divided second and third, and as near as could be made out in the fog, now denser than ever, Lord of the Manor was fourth, with Birdfinder and Gamecock in his wake, Fontenoy bringing up the rear.

The interest created by the large acceptance for the Cambridge- shire Stakes appeared to increase with the occasion, as was made manifest by the early attendance, the room about nine o'clock being so densely thronged that it was with no little difficulty way could be made from one end to the other. After a large amount of chaff had been scattered, from which it was most difficult to extract the wheat, business assumed something like a tangible form, and some heavy investments were made. Limosisa, despite the dis- couraging reports about her looking light and far from the mare she was in the Cesarewitch, had a firm and healthy appearance in the market, her opening price being readily taken, layers re- peatedly refusing to advance anything over 3 to 1, at which price she left off' remarkably firm. This fondness for the daughter of Charity did not appear to daunt the courage of the large number of admirers of the mysterious Catch ' em Alive, and at the close 4 to 1 was taken to win some thousands. Carnival, notwithstand- ing the openly expressed opinion of his experienced trainer that he would beat all the horses that ran in the " long race," was not so fashionable this evening, 100 to 8 being repeatedly offered against him for some time, but just prior to the close of the room half a point less was booked. Summerside and Exchequer were in some demand, 100 to 6 being taken about each, the former more especially being inquired after. 25 to 1 was laid severally against Borealis, Port Royal, and Tolurno, the latter apparently having a large number of friends, who supported him with great spirit. Despair was not in such good repute, and gradually declined in favour, and at last 40 to 1 was currently offered without meeting with any answer; while at the latter odds Jack of Hearts, Comet, Merry Hart, and Grande Dame were backed for small amounts. Of the outside division mentioned in our " price current,'' Roman Bee was the only animal in any demand, one gentleman connected with the stable having backed him to win some thousands at his quoted price. 600 to 400 was booked about Limosina and Catch ' em Alive coupled. The Criterion Stakes was eventually introduced, Coast Guard holding the premiership at 7 to 4, at which price he was supported by the followers of the stable with great determination— so much so, that at the close we question whether those odds could have been obtained. 4 to 1 was taken about Ely, and 6 to 1 about Prince Arthur; Fille de l'Air and Evelina also found favour with a select few at 7 to 1 each.

Monday's fog certainly proved most mal apropos, seeing that to an already over- crowded list to- day, was now added the Criterion Stakes, and commencing at 10: 55, the last race was set for 4: 25, although, of course, with twelve items for decision, in- cluding two such events as the Criterion and Cambridgeshire, the last race was not brought off until some time afterwards, when daylight was fast waning ; the majority of spectators being fairly wearied out before that time, and many quitted the Heath prior to the last two being decided. The streets were, as usual, crowded from a comparatively early hour, and the excur- sion trains completely deluged the town with fresh visitors; but those from the metropolis, by reason of the early commencement lost the first two races, the Criterion for one which, was placed second on the card, by reason of which many intending speculators thereon were " sold." There was nothing very particular to note in connection with the Cambridge, shire save the increased support awarded to Limosina st lb Dovedale 6 10 Royston 6 10 Contractor 6 10 Esperatice 6 9 Nucleus 6 Poetess 6 Wild Thyme ( late Langford) 6 Brother to Dread- nought 6 Farnhurst 6 Lifebuoy 8 Merry Wife, by Beadsman out of Mrs QHickly.. .. 6 Bellasius ,... 6 C byTadmoroutof Drosera's dam .. 6 Aurora 6 Coventry 6 Sheridan 6 Alliance 6 Orphene 6 Corsica 6 Fair Salopian .... 6 Cutaway 6 Lady Bohun 6 Oneida 6 3 Diviner 6 3 Templar 6 1 Lytham 6 1 Eleanor, bvGemma di Vergy 6 1 Physic 5 13 Guerilla 5 13 The Tyke 5 13 Fanny Seaton .... 5 12 Oberon 5 12 Bigotry 5 11 Eleanor, by Sweet- meat 5 11 Jacob Omnium .. ( pd) these the chief " pots'' were Farnhurst and Claxton, the race at the finish being entirely between the two, andthe latter, winning very cleverly by a length, was afterwards claimed by Mr Lambert. The winner, who is one of Saunterer's stock, is a very neat, wiry little colt, and, although perhaps rather deficient in substance, can— as John Osborne said—" stay any course," and may be deemed a very cheap and useful colt. The postponed Criterion came next, and appeared to excite an unusual degree of interest, which is scarcely to be wondered at, considering the quality of some of the competitors, and the bearing of the issue on next year's Derby, and therefore standing out in relief as it were, and in strong contrast to the mere plating element so abundantly dif- fused throughout the programme. The competitors amounted to eleven, Guerilla, who was weighed for the previous day, being now an absentee, whilst F. Adams was substituted for J. Mann on Knight of Snowdon, the former jockey being now able to ride the weight, which he could not do on Monday. Coast- Guard, as might have been anticipated, was made the favourite, while it was a nice point as to second favouritism between Prince Arthur, the quon- dam stable companion of Mr Naylor's colt, and the French filly, Fille de l'Air, Ely being next in request. A capital start was effected, but the favourite appeared in trouble before he had gone a quarter of a mile, and Fille de l'Air waiting with her 91b penalty until about the half distance was then let out, and won very easily from Prince Arthur. Coast Guard ap- peared to roll about like a rocking horse towards the finish, and his action was anything but pleasing to his Derby backers. The winner is a very clever " old fashioned" looking filly, with great substance and many fine racing points, having capital arms and thighs, good back, loins, and fine- shaped shoulders beautifully set on, and to- day she ran up to the great form she displayed some time ago at Goodwood, and won with such consummate ease from Prince Arthur, of whose chance John Osborne was very fond to- day ; so sanguine, in fact, that after the race he requested to have the winner examined as to age, expressing his belief that no two year old could have so bowled over his colt at the weights. The very indifferent figure cut by Coast Guard had the effect of sending him back considerably for the Derby, while Ely's position was not benefitted by the fignre he cut. The once highly thought of Canzonette managed to win the Selling Handicap Sweepstakes, Rowley Mile, and was afterwards claimed for the 200 sovs by " Mr Fleet." So much was Lady Clifden fancied for the All- aged Stakes of 100 sovs each, Bretby Stakes Course, that 5 to 4 was taken freely about her, and a shade more about Argonaut, while Fairwater, who had all the worst of the weights, having a 51b penalty, was so little esteemed over this course that 6 to 1 was laid against her. The favourite, however, tired very much at the finish, and Mr Cart- wright's mare defeated her by three parts of a length, while Ma- hometan, with 4 to 1 on him, still more easily beat his solitary opponent, Dovedale, in the Sweepstakes of 200 sovs each. Shortly after this race had been decided the Prince of Wales reached the course on horseback, in company with Prince Christian and the Duke of Cambridge, and attended by Captain Grey and Captain Castenchjold, having arrived at Newmarket by special train from Sandringham, and the illustrious party made their way quietly across the Heath, in time to witness the race for " Fifty Pounds," Rowley Mile, which imme- diately preceded " the Cambridgshire," The " Plate" proved the good thing it looked for Johnny Armstrong, who won, after a little " shaking up," from Croagh Patrick, the pair having One- sander. Caller Ou, King of Utopia, Newmarket, and Wingrave behind them. The multitudinous assemblage of horsemen and pedestrians now took their way across the Heath for the Cambridgeshire Course, while the new road was as crowded with vehicles as the Epsom road on a Derby Day. There was in reality " no change" in the betting among the lead- ing favourites, for Limosina was firm at 5 to 2— half a point less in some instances being booked about her— while Catch ' em Alive was backed for a good deal of money at 4 to 1, although at last 9 to 2 was readily obtainable. Summerside, too, received support at 12 to 1, but, like Catch ' em, went back somewhat at the finish. Of the outsiders Juliet, who advanced to 33 to 1, Polynesia, Roman Bee, Hospodar, and Merry Hart, were, perhaps, in most demand at their respective prices, while Port Royal and Jack of Hearts had no friends " at any price." The absentees of the lot of fifty nine coloured on the card comprised Jenny Wren, Lucretia, Laura, Romanoff, M Philippe, Misfire, the Jac- queline colt, The Principal, Barchettina, Barter, Sea King, Agag, Blondin, Dunkeld, Bathilde, Alerte, Gemma, Queen of Trumps, and Man at Arms, of whom those who had figured in the market most conspicuously were Bathilde, Gemma, and Blondin. The withdrawal of this lot left just forty to do battle for the last great handicap race of the season, just three less than last year, and in excellent time, and with the weather still clear and favourable, the lot made their way to the starting post, while the Prince of Wales and his party, dismounting from their horses, took up their positions at the top of the old Stand. There was a long and tiresome delay at the post, the length of which, as well as the number of " no goes," will be found in our ample description of the race, referring to which for full particulars, we must here be content with observing that it was a most exciting struggle bet een the first three placed, of whom Merry Hart and Summerside hung towards each other, the former having the advantage, until within a few strides of home, when young Sam Adams— who lost his whip within the distance— brought up Catch ' em Alive on the outside, and the latter won by sheer gameness © n the post, by a head, the same distance only di- viding Merry Hart and Summerside. Now came a scene. On returning to scale the rider of Merry Hart passed the ordeal satisfactorily, but Sam Adams was unable, after repeated trials, to draw the proper weight. The exoiternent was unbounded, and the confusion indescribably confounding. Still young Adams sat in the scale, and at length Admiral Rous arrived. Lord West- moreland, with some show of reason, insisted that as his jockey had passed the scale all right, the rider of Catch ' em Alive ought to be able to do so, by the same rule, and that as it was evident he could not do so, the horse was disquali- fied, and Merry Hart entitled to the race. Though Adams yet remained in the scale, the correct weight could not be drawn, and William Day was at last obliged to own the same, but protested that as Adams had been properly weighed out at the Stand below, something must be wrong with the scales here. Mr Manning, after trying J. Grimshaw's weight, and finding that like- wise deficient, obtained permission to examine the scales, when it was discovered that two pieces of lead had been nailed to the bottom, which weighed about a pound and a half. Finding that the scales had been thus tampered with, and that Adams had really weighed out right, the Stewards at once declared Catch ' em Alive to be the winner, although along the length and breadth of the Heath the rumour had just previously gone forth that the race had been awarded to Merry Hart. Lord Westmoreland ultimately lodged a protest against the decision, and demanded further investi- gation and explanation of the whole affair. From circumstances that afterwards came under our notice it would appear that Mr Manning tested the scales in the morning, when he assures us he found them all right, hence on this evidence they must have been tampered with for some purpose or other later in the day. It may be necessary to explain to some wf our readers that it is customary at Newmarket before leaving the flat to weigh jockeys out at the New Stand who may have to ride in the next race when it chances to be over the Cambridgeshire, or Criterion course. This is done with a view of facilitating busi- ness, and it is not compulsory for jockeys who have thus been weighed out to try their weight again at the top Stand. This is, however, frequently done just to make assurance doubly sure. On this occasion young 8am Adams had weighed out properly for Catch'em Alive in the presence of Mr Manning, but he did not weigh again at the old Stand, while the rider of Merry Hart weighed at the top. As already stated, J. Grimshaw, the rider of Summerside, who had been weighed " below" only, was in the same predicament as Sam Adams, while from further inqui- ries we learn that H. Grimshaw after weighing out properly at the 8tand on the flat, found, on trying again at the top, that he was about a pound and a half short of weight, while Carroll, on trying above, found himself nearly two pounds short of the weight he had just before drawn, and had consequently to change his saddle cloths. This most disagreeable affair will doubtless lead to some more stringent rules being adopted as to weighing out for races ending at " the top of the town," or at all events, to fresh scales being used instead of the " old- world'' ones now em- ployed in the Stand there. The following is the official report of the " weighing in'' from the Racing Calendar:—" When the jockeys returned to weigh after the race, the Clerk of the Scales found that the rider of Catch ' em Alive did not draw the proper weight. He was first weighed without a whip, and a whip was afterwards giver, to him, which was stated to be the one he rode with ; this barely made him weight, and the owner of the second horse objected to the jockey being weighed with anything given to him after he got into the scales. The Clerk of the Scales requested theStewards to come into the weighing- room, and they decided that a jockey not having brought his whip with him into the scale could not afterwards weigh with it, arid it plainly appeared that the jockey did not draw his proper weight. The rider of Merry Hart had been previously weighed and passed by the Clerk of the Scales, and the Stewards were on the point of giving the race in his favour, when the rider of Summerside was weighed, and he also was found short of weight. On this the Stewards directed the scales to be examined, when it was found that they were not correct, and that some lead had been fastened on the bottom of the weight scale. When this was removed and the scales adjusted, the Stewards felt satisfied that the rider of Catch ' em Alive would have drawn his proper weight if the scales had been adjusted before he was weighed, and the Clerk of the Scales, on being questioned, having assured them that he had no doubt on the subject, the Stewards declared that Catch ' em Alive was the winner of the race." Here briefly reverting to the race, we may remark that Limo- sina, in whom so much confidence had been placed, was one of the first beaten ; she was, in fact, never in the race, and could or would not try a yard. So marked, indeed, was the change compared with her previous performance in the Cesa- rewitch, that suspicions were at once aroused, and Lord Stamford expressed a belief that the mare had been poisoned. That she had been in reality " got at," however, is exceedingly doubtful, for on being professionally examined afterwards nothing of the kind was proven, and the probable suggestion is that the mare, having done quite work enough before, was jaded to death before starting, for she took part in nearly every false start, ran a considerable distance in each, and was completely used up before the flag fell. Carnival struck his leg in running, and finished so lame that for a short time it was thought he had broken down; however, he walked off the Heath sound enough. The winner looked in splendid condition, and the " finish'' of the race gave further proof of the ability of Admiral Rous, for although " Catch'em" had been reported as a good thing, and backed accordingly, both by his party and the public, now that his true form has been made apparent, it is certain that " the Admiral" has not caught, or been caught by, ano- ther Lioness in Catch ' em Alive. What with the big race being over, and the excitement yet existing about the decision and the protest, the rest of the racing, which was of the most uninteresting character, passed off without absorbing much attention, and re- quires but a few brief comments. Of the ten starters for the Handicap Sweepstakes, T. Y. C., the unbacked Teddy proved the winner, while the Optional Selling Plate fell to the selected Voucher colt, since named Countersign, beating ten others. Fiancee upset a huge favourite in Merry Maid for the Free Handi- cap Sweepstakes, giving her 21b and the year, and with the shades of evening fast closing over the Heath, Airedale won the con- cluding 8weepstakes, beating Dolphin, who was " spotted" by the talent, and two others. Later in the evening a written notice was posted in the Subscription Room setting forth that " Catch ' em Alive is the winner of the Cambridgeshire Stakes." FIFTY SOVS, for two year olds and upwards; the winner, with his engagements, to be sold for 300gs if demanded, & c; last three miles of B. C. ( 3M 74yds).

Inverness and Kate Coventry were first off, but after running a short distance the former fell into the ruck, leaving Kate clearly in advance to the Bushes, when the lot closed up and ran in a body, save Inverness, now figuring a long way in the rear. On the retirement soon after of Mr Savile's mare, the command was taken by Claxton, who at the Duke's Stand was pulled back, and Farnhurst went on with the running. From the point last named the horses, one by one, became tailed off, until half way in the rails only two remained to try conclu- sions, Farnhurst holding his own to about half a distance from home, when he tired, and Claxton won cleverly by a length. At a wide interval Jeannette and Folly were respectively third and fourth, followed by Belle of Yorkshire. Kate Coventry can- tered in next, and inverness walked in last. The winner was claimed by Mr G. Lambert.

Immediately the word was given at the second at- tempt to aa exceedingly level start, Gazza Ladra, in the centre, and acting as pilot for Coast Guard, rushed away with a clear lead, succeeded on the lower ground by Caryophyllus and Evelina, on whose right were Vauxhall, Knight of Snowden, and Linda. On the other side, and running nearly even with Sir Joseph's colt, were Ely, Prince Arthur, the favourite, and Fille de l'Air, followed by Battaglia on the exrreme right of the line, the latter, however, exhibiting sj'mptorns of defeat ere the struggle had well begun. With this exception, and the retreat of Vauxliall just before reach- ing the site of the old stand, the positions indicated were unchanged, until at the entrance to the rails Gazza Ladra, dropped back, and Prince Arthur showed in command, with Ely, Coast Guard, and the French filly sticking at his girths, Eve- lina and Caryophyllus still lying forward to the left of them. Of the last- named lot the favourite was first to give way, while the hill likewise telling tales in succession on others, at last left Fille de l'Air, half a distance from home, solely in attendance on Prince Arthur, whom she deprived of the lead in a few strides, and won very easily by a length and a half. Evelina obtained third plaGe, a length off, with the advantage of a head over Ely, who beat Caryophyllus by the same. At a clear interval Gazza Ladra was sixth, Knight of Snowden and Coast Guard being next, lengths behind her, as were Linda and Vauxhall, followed by Lord Stamford's filly, a long way last of everything. Run in lmin 23sec. An objection to the winner on the score of age was, on returning to the scale, handed in by the owner of the second, but upon examination, as mentioned elsewhere, it fell to the ground.

They ran in line, with King of Utopia leading to the Bushes, where His Majesty died away, leaving Johnny Armstrong to the left at the head of the affairs, followed by One- sander in the centre and by Croagh Patrick on the right, and to this trio the race was confined from the bottom, rising which Lord Stamford's became numbered with the beaten lot, while Croagh Patrick, never quite reaching Johnny, was defeated, after a slash- ing race, by half a length, the third finishing two lengths from the pair.

THE RACE. Enough for a story longer than that of the race itself might have been found in successive failures ( twenty- three in all), for three- quarters of an hour delaying the start. Suffice to say that of the refractory ones Fantail was the most provok- ing, and next to her Jack of Hearts, Borealis, Cairncastle. Glenorchy, Thalestris, Nebula, Muezzin, Summerside, and others- including the favourite and Catch ' em Alive. At length some, thing like order was enforced, and the line at the fifteenth attempt viewed in motion, when an excellent opportunity was frustrated by the discovery that Jarnicoton was standing at the post. In the belief that the moment had arrived, a moiety of the horses ran nearly a distance before coming to a halt, among them Limosina, who, it is computed, from first to last, " fumed and fret- ted " over ground equal in extent to the Cambridgeshire Course! Additional time was thus cut to waste in falling into places, which prelimiriary, however, was re- enacted much sooner than anticipated, and at 2: 46 the flag went down to what, under all the circumstances, was admitted to be a tolerably good start. Blue Mantle, as restive as anything towards the close, first showed in advance, and then Borealis rushed to the fore, but soon gave way to Merry Hart and Glenorchy, making joint running in the centre of the track. Conspicuous to the left of the latter were Cairncastle, Blue Mantle, Grande Dame, Juliet, Despair, and Victor, flanked by Fantail and Hospodar on the lower ground; the division also prominently forward to the right of the leaders being Summerside, Catch'em Alive, Borealis, Exchequer, the Giraffe colt, and Limosina, in whose wake came Polynesia. Bohemia, Bright Cloud, Tolurno, Carisbrook, The Monk, and Jack of Hearts, upside with them being Carnival. Of the remainder, all plainly discern able save the white jackets of Roman Bee and King Charming, was that of Thalestris, a long way last of everything at the New Stand, where, to the disgust of her jockey, the favourite compounded, and, though struggling on, was not in therace after- wards. Upon her retirement, Lord Chesterfield's mare joined the front rank, commanded by Glenorchy a clear length at least in front, and of whose immediate followers nothing, in rising the hill for the old betting post, was going more free and well than Mr Naylor's representative, still to the extreme right of the line, the latter, amid cracking whips and the thundering roar of feet, now presenting a magnificent sight, with Exchequer, Anfield, the broken down Victor, and Comet, ( minus a plate), filling up the back gronnd of the picture. The weight telling on Glenorchy as soon as the point last indi- cated was passed, he came back to his horses, and placed Merry Hart once more at the head of affairs. When fairly in the rails Fantail, Hospodar, Cairncastle, and others, till then lying for- ward, were quite disposed of, as were Borealis, Blue Mantle, and Despair, a distance or more from home, as well as Carnival, through hitting his leg soon after, leaving Juliet, Summerside, Catch ' em Alive, and Polynesia in attendance on Lord Westmore- land's horse; the final struggle, however, fifty yards from the chair, being confined to the latter, Catch'em, and Mr Ten Broeck's mare. Twice the latter attempted to go up, but was prevented by Merry Hart hanging to the left, whereupon Sam Adams, on the whip hand of the pair, " dug it" into the Woodyeates colt, having dropped his whip some time previously, and obtaining a shade the best of it in the last few strides, won a tremendous race by a head ; Merry Hart beating Summerside for second money by the same. Juliet was fourth, a length off; Polynesia fifth, as far from her; the Giraffe colt, who had more than once been disappointed in getting through being close up with Polynesia, followed by Glenorchy, who ' carrTe^ kggin at the finish, Borealis eighth, and Despair next. Clear of thesejbimosina and Grande Dame headed the main body, in the rear of which were The Monk, Carisbrook, Fantail, Port Royal, and Deception, succeeded at a wide interval by Bellman, a long way behind whom Victor walked last. Run in 2min 5sec. How, on returning to the scale, the rider of the winner was unable to draw his " weight, is told elsewhere, though we may mention by the way that, just as the race was claimed for Merry Hart, an objection to the latter for foul riding was lodged by Jemmy Grimshaw, who piloted the third ; the wind- up of this memorable affair being that, for disobedience at the post, Adams and Ed- wards were suspended till 1864, and Barrett and Viney till after the Liverpool Autumn Meeting, 1863.

Wee Aggie finished fourth, clear of the pair, succeeded by the others in a cluster, save Little Star, who was left at the post. Run in lmin 22sec.

MATCH 200, h ft; last half of R. M. Mr R. Ten Broeck's Echo, 8st received Marquis of Hastings's Garotter, 8st 131b paid SUBSCRIPTION ROOM AT NIGHT. When the large amount of money depending upon the issue of such an important race as the Cambridgeshire is taken into consideration, anything that may chance to throw dif- ficulty in the way of a fair and honourable issue must ne- cessarily be attended with great excitement and confusion. Such was the case this evening, the room being from an early hour thronged with eager speculators, who freely discussed the pres and cons of the subject; and notwithstanding an official notice was exhibited in trie room to the effect that the stakes had been awarded to the owner of Catch ' em Alive, some wager- ing took place as to the ultimate settlement. This unpleasant subject appeared so thoroughly to engross attention, that little or no attention was paid to any other business; but shortly before the hour of departure some slight spirit was exhi- bited by those members who, like the busy bee, " improve each shining hour, " by introducing the Derby for considera- tion. Little or nothing, however, was done, scarcely half a dozen bets being made. Scottish Chief, from the brilliant perform- ance of Fille de l'Air, was brought prominently into notice, 12 to 1 being freely taken about him. 20 to 1 was accepted about Blair Athol, and 25 to 1 was noted down about Forager. Prince Arthur was also in request at 30 to 1, which price was freely offered against the discomfited Coast Guard. WEDNESDAY.— After the notice posted in the Subscription Room on Tuesday evening, may persons imagined that the vexed question as to the winner of the Cambridgeshire was set at rest, and no small degree of commotion was awakened this morning when it became generally known that Lord Westmoreland still adhered to his protest against the decision of the Stewards, who had awarded the race to Catch ' em Alive. The rule under which this protest was based is as under:—" RULE 12.—- If a mem- ber of the Jockey Club shall impugn or object to any act or deci- sion of the Stewards, he shall give notice of it in writing to the keeper of the match- book, who will immediately request the Stewards to fix an early day to assemble the members for the pur- pose of hearing the objection." Now to an unprejudiced mind,— andwe say it without the slightest disrespect to Lord Westmoreland, who isjustly popular, and who had doubtless a perfect right to avail himself of his pri vilege as a member of the Club— it does certainly appear some- what preposterous that, acccording to this rule, simply because a horse chances to belong to a member of that distinguished body, his owner has the power to appeal from the decision of the Stewards; whereas, under precisely similar circumstances, had he not been a member of the Club, no chance of appeal would have been afforded him. The re- opening of the case, as a matter of course, had the effect of effectually putting a stop to the settling, so that instead of the usual busy interchange of notes, everything was " as flat as a flounder," the minor races only being squared up. The time that would, under ordinary circum- stances, have been devoted to money changing, was now oc- cupied with the discussion of the merits of the Catch ' em Alive case, and the examination of the French filly by Professor Spooner and Mr Barrow. " Catch'em's" case was still an " open" question, but that respecting Fille de l'Air was done with, the gen- tlemen just referred to having unhesitatingly pronounced her a two year old. The sale of a draft of Sir Joseph Hawley's as well as of Lord Strathmore's horses meantime went on in front of the room, with what results will be seen in another column. Of the dozen items on the card to- day the majority were of mere passing interest, and at twenty- five minutes past eleven proceed- ings commenced with the Optional Selling Plate, over the Cam- bridgeshire Course. Only three very moderate animals started for it, and speculation thereon was both limited and wild. The Pony turned up the best of the lot at the weights, and he beat Fontenoy, who was entered for a much more ambitious price, by a couple of lengths. There was but little to choose at last between Lord Glasgow's Miss Sarah colt and Sir Joseph Hawley's Caryo- phyllus in the betting on the Glasgow Stakes, but the good look- ing and improving son of Toxophilite proved the better horse, and most appropriately won the race. Odds were laid on Croagh Patrick for the Fifty Pound Plate, across the Flat, but Lord Glasgow's colours were again in the ascendant, and Covey landed the Senorita colt a brace of lengths in advance of the favourite, to the loudly expressed delight of the followers of bis lordship's stable. Knowsley, however, had no chance with Umpire in their seven furlong match, for the latter had it all his own way throughout. Next on the list stood the two " Private'' Half Mile Handicap Sweepstakes- Some time back a rule was very wisely passed prohibiting half mile races at Newmarket save under certain restrictions, for these short spins have proved as much of a nuisance here as heat races used to be not many years since in " the provinces." Forty minutes at least were cut to waste in a drizzling rain in vain endeavours to start eight horses, for the first Private Sweepstakes, and when the start was finally ef- fected, Juliet got much the best of it, and came in many lengths ahead. Immediately afterwards the Duke of Beau- fort, Lord Stamford, Captain Christie, Mr R. Ten Broeck, and Mr W. Robertson objected to the start as being a " flying" one, but the case was postponed for the consideration of the Stewards until the following morning. The succeeding Sweepstakes chanced to prove a less inauspicious affair, and Attraction, who appears to improve every time she runs, was at the close almost as good a favourite as Wild Thyme, who had 151b the best of the weights with her; the former, however, won easily by three lengths. Buckfoot— like a good judge— ran away from Vagabond in their match; and Countersign, the colt by- Vedette out of Voucher, claimed the previous day by Captain Christie. and then unnamed, won the Subscription Plate for two and three year olds, and was thereon claimed by Mr H. Bird. The four year old T3' pee colt was all the rage for the next T. r. C. Sweep- stakes, but he ran indifferently, and only got home third, while Dolphin, who of late had shown but little form, won easily, and was claimed by Mr Parker. The Tailor was backed so freely for the next T. Y. C. Sweepstakes that he started at evens, which caused Lord Adolphus to be cast somewhat inlo the shade; but the latter, who has been running nearly all the season, from Thirsk onwarls, won in a canter, and then " changed hands." Polonaise, after a good race, just pulled through for the Sweep- stakes next ensuing, also over the T. Y. C., and in the concluding event, the Sweepstakes of 50 sovs each, for two year olds, Ditch Mile, Ely— whose two competitors were Mahometan and Beatrix — just beat the latter, who stumbled in the last stride, by a head, giving her 71b. What with the number of races to- day, the con- sequent hurrying to and fro. and the unsatisfactory and unsettled state of affairs with regard to the Cambridgeshire, very little attempt was made to bet on the Derby.

The determination of the riders of Juliet and Peignoir to be well off delayed the start more than three quarters of an hour, the lot in one of the failures coming away nearly two hun- dred yards. Matters thus only grew worse and worse, for at last when the flag fell Juliet was a long way in advance, and never being approached, won in a canter by six lengths. Paddy O'Rourke, rushing up at the finish, obtained second honours a head over Cas- sidia, who was third, Lady Clifden close up with her, followed by East Sheen and Farfalla pulling up, with Poland last. Run in 54sec. Peignoir was left at the post. An objection to the start as being a flying one was subsequently overruled. A PRIVATE HANDICAP of 25 sovs each, 10 ft, for two year olds; last half of Ab.

Her advantage, however, was of short duration, seeing that the over- pulling Countersign took higca colours to the fore in a few strides, and won cleverly by halfftsf length ; Diomed, third, three lengths off, finished a head in front - of Concordia, well in whosu wake were Antoinette and Lady Wil- liams.

The attention of those present this evening was entirely en- grossed with the disputed race for the Cambridgeshire. Opinions were evidently divided upon the subject, which led to some heavy wagering as to the result, and for a period entirely superseded speculation upon forthcoming events. Later in the evening, how- ever, some attempts were made to wager upon the Liverpool Cup and the Derby, which met with little notice. For the former Catch ' em Alive was introduced, 7 to 1 being readily accepted about him, notwithstanding his penalty ; 11 to 1 was booked about Golden Pledge, and 100 to 6 was repeatedly taken about Earl of Surrey, and 20 to 1 each agst Barchettina, Baldwin, and Gardener.

THURSDAY.— Under the impression that matters were now " all right,'' many subscribers mustered early for the purpose o^ settling on the Cambridgeshire, but it was soon made apparent that there would be no settling this morning, for it was generally reported that the case would be reopened for the further considera- tion of the Stewards. And so losers steadily declined to " part'' for the present, despite the following posted notice:— " CAMBRIDGESHIRE STAKES, 1863. " We, the three Stewards of the Jockey Club, in conjunction with the keeper of the Match Book, having been requested by the clerk of the scales to ascertain and determine whet her the jockey who rode Catch ' em Alive carried his right weight for the Cam- bridgeshire Stakes are unanimously of opinion that he did carry it. We, the three Stewards, therefore formally and finally declare that Catch ' em Alive is the winner of the Cambridgeshire Stakes. ( Signed) " COVENTRY. " H. J. Rous. " C. ALEXANDER.'' Sosn after reaching the Heath, however, it was made known that Lord Westmoreland, after consulting with the Duke of Beaufort and other personal friends, had withdrawn his ob- jection, and thus finally and decisively settled the matter. That of Juliet for the " Private Sweepstakes" was also disposed of, a notice having been posted in the room to the eft'ect that there was no evidence that Juliet started in advance of the post, and that there was not sufficient evidence of its being a flying start to justify the declaration of its being invalid. Mr Hughes's mare was, therefore, declared the winner. This decision was signed by Sir Joseph Hawley ( for Lord Coventry), Admiral Rous, and Mr Alexander. Proceedings on the Heath commenced with the Subscription Handicap Plate, Ditch in, for which seven of the entered dozen put in an appearance, of whom Argonaut carried 81b over weight to enable Wells to ride; while Wingrave, carrying the top weight, 9st, was made the favourite, and right cleverly he disposed of his rivals, while Argonaut, who ran in a hood, figured indifferently at the finish. Beatrix, as might have been anticipated from her running with Ely on the previous day, was made a hot favour- ite in her match with New York, whom she disposed of very easily. Crytheia having walked over for the Apethorpe Stakes, for which The Usher saved his stake, the next event that came under notice was the Handicap Sweepstakes, T. Y. C., and so flattering was the adjustment of the weights that eighteen of the twenty went to the post, speculation being very brisk on the issue. King of Utopia, opening at 5 to 1, was backed at a much shorter price at the finish very freely, but he did not even obtain a " situation ;" and Almack, against whom longish odds were laid, won easily, and stamped himself a very creditable per- former. Prescription, of the four starters, was made a great pot for the ensuing Sweepstakes, over the same course as the last race, but was defeated by Balderdash, who had apparently run himself fit. Odds were laid on Tomfoolery in her match with Sister to Ace of Clubs ; but with all her good looks she ran a jade when pressed to- day, and was easily defeated by Lord Annesley's pretty filly, who displayed much quality and fashion. The Free Handicap Sweepstakes, across the Flat, was bj' far the most inte- resting race of the day, bringing, as it did, five of the Cambridge- shire competitors together again— to wit, Carnival, the Giraffe colt, Blue Mantle, Glenorchy, and Summerside— the other starter being the stable companion of the latter, Tornado. Of these Carnival was backed for heaps of money, but al- though he ran a good horse, could not get home first under the weight, and Baron Rothschild's colt by King Tom out of Giraffe— the second best favourite— won very easily by two lengths, while Glenorchy, who ran gamely, defeated Carnival for second place. The winner is a fine strapping colt, standing about sixteen hands high, with plenty of bone and substance, good back and loins, fine shoulders, and when going has splendid action, and will doubtless still improve. That he won easily no one could doubt, and but that he was disappointed in getting through his horses in the Cambridgeshire, E. Martin, who rode him in that race as to- day, would have been " there or thereabouts," repeating his last year's achievement when he won on Bathilde, beating the largest field that ever ran at New- market. A fairish lot of seven two year olds next appeared at the post for the Optional Selling Plate, and Edward the Confessor proved the good thing he was esteemed by his sanguine backers. On weighing in, Carroll, who rode Mr Osborne's Brother to Weatherspy, could not at first draw his weight, which led to much confusion and excitement, as the post of second was important on account of having first claim for the winner, who appeared to be much coveted. Ultimately, however, the bridle was brought in, and the verdict " all right" enabled Mr Osborne to claim the " Confessor," while Mr Green claimed the second, and Mr ' iod- dard Naxos. Pilot was warmly supported by the " Romeo lords'' for the Selling Handicap, but he ran awkwardly at the finish, and wrecked the hopes of his backers ; and Country Maid and Lady Derby ran a dead heat for it, the young one in the deciding spin beating the top weight, on whom slight odds were laid, very cle- verly ; while Fanfaron ran home the easiest of winners from Tolurno in their mile and a half match, at a difference of 161b for the year. The weather to- day was truly uncomfortable ; a piercing cold wind swept across the heath, and for a time " kept off" the rain, which at last came down with drenching effect.

Directly the flag fell at the second attempt, to a tolerably even start, the favourite showed in advance, attended right and left in the centre by Gorse, Liston, Welland, and Columba, on whose extreme left, also well up, were Walloon, Villa Franca, and Queen of Trumps. But little variation occurred in these positions until at about a • quarter of a mile the King was in trouble, after which at the cords Queen of Trumps for a moment or two appeared to have the best of it, when Aimack, coming with a rush, got his head in ' ront, followed by Liston, who never reached Mr Craven's horse, Js'" was defeated very easily by three quarters of a length ; Count LK < s fage's filly finishing half a length from the second, with an wlvS. ftage of a neck over Lord Bateman's mare.

Glenorchy then took second place, the pair on rising the bottom being joined on the inside by Car- nival, till then lying off. The struggle, however, was of short duration, seeing that the son of King Tom shook off both in the concluding twenty yards, and won easily by two lengths, the favourite finishing three lengths from the second.

J - u—•->—: « OT„— about him for the Derby, in expectation of his winning easily. The result, however, showed he had been overrated, for he failed to give the weight required to Sheridan ( who won the Lewes divi- sion a good stake), and was beaten a head for second place, when in receipt oi 191b, by Prince Arthur, whose performance caused the talents to instal him nearly first favourite for the Derby, 100 to 8 being taken freely about him. It also made Fille de l'Air, who had previously been backed kindly at 2 to I, very hot for the Second Class Nursery, as she beat the Prince easily in the Criterion; and the consternation was great and the remarks severe when it was discovered she was among the five absentees, which also included Midnight Mass, Orphene, Aurora, and The Tyke. Of the nine runners Diviner was made the favourite im- mediately the numbers were posted; but the friends of Union Jack were not dismayed, even with nearly three stone between them. Suspicion and Merry Wife also coming for a good share of support, the latter especially, despite the indifferent performance of her stable com- panion Washington just previously. 8he never looked for- midable in the race, nor did the favourite after proceeding halt a mile, the event proving a very easy task for Union Jack, with whom Custance waited until reaching the distance, when he took him to the front and the race was over immediately. Lord Glas- gow's filly was the favourite as well as the winner in her Match with Rothschild, and the course had not been rendered sufficiently heavy by the incessant rain to prevent another " pot" being landed by Lord Burleigh for the T. Y. C. Sweepstakes ; but the gentlemen received a steadier in a similar event that followed, as the majo- rity stood Crytheia, who was easily defeated by the second fa- vourite, Countersign. The competitors were delayed at the post for some minutes in both the contests last named; but the sixteen starters were quickly got to the post for the fourteenth event of the day, the Optional Belling Plate, which was decided under worse circumstances, if possible, than the first race, the most remarkable feature in it being the fact of 6 to 4 having been taken about the winner, in the face of the large field and the course in a condition to upset all calculation. The 100 Sovs Sweepstakes being walked over for there were only fourteen actual contests ( an almost unprecedented day's sport, even at Newmarket), the closing one being a Match of such slight importance that few remained to witness it.

Two failures preceded the start, in one of which all came away and ran upwards of one hundred yards. When the flag fell Prince Arthur was the first to show in front; but he was soon passed by New York, whose immediate followers afterwards comprised Echo and Dovedale at the head of the centre division, in which also were Wild Thyme and Royston, with Washington and She- ridan wide on their right. There was no change, until at the cords Lord. Stamford's colt was beaten, and Sheridan took up the running, immediately upon which Osborne brought up Prince Arthur with a rush, but without overhauling Lord Rendlesham's colt, who won by a length and a half ; Washington being beaten a head from the second.

The decision of the Stewards of the Jockey Club promulgated in the morning with reference to the Cambridgeshire Stakes, and the graceful withdrawal ef his protest thereto by the Earl of Westmoreland during the afternoon, appeared to infuse a feeling of good fellowship into the room this evening we have not wit- nessed for many years, although the termination of the Catch ' em Alive case is dead against bookmakers. During the pauses in the gossip and the necessary obligation of preparing accounts for the morrow's settling some betting took place on the Nurseries, the First Class taking precedence, speculation upon which opened at 5 to 1 against Echo, at which price he was backed to win some money, but subsequently he retrograded in favour, and at the close such was the opposition that set in against him that 10 to 1 was offered. Attraction was in great force, 4 to I being freely taken, whilst Sheridan was backed several times at 100 to 15. Prince Arthur, from his game struggle with Fille de l'Air in the Crite- rion, was also in request, his closing price being readily accepted. 8 to 1 was taken several times about Wild Thyme, and a point over those odds was noted down about The Beadle, and 10 to 1 against Hippolyta. The Second Class was not so much inquired about, Fille de l'Air's estimated chance having apparently a de- pressing effect upon the market. The opening price having been quickly snapped up. layers were extremely cautious, and at the close 5 to 2 was the highest offer against her. Suspicion was in demand at 5 to 1, at which price Diviner was also backed. 10 to 1 each was currently offered against Union Jack and Midnight Mass.

In the course of the evening a most gratifying scene took place, for the Duke of Beaufort in the most flattering terms proposed Mr Henry Hill as a member of the committee of the room in place of Mr C. Perry, who retires by rotation. The Earl of < Jlasgow, who stated that he had known and respected Mr Hill for many years, seconded the duke's proposition, and amidst general approval Mr Hill was declared duly elected. FRIDAY.— It was understood yesterday that the Cambridge, shire settling was to be proceeded with, without any further cavilling, this morning; but this was rendered utterly impossible by sixteen events being crammed into the card, as it was necessary to commence racing at ten o'clock, and no time was allowed for the adjustment of even yesterday's accounts. Thus few were well pleased at the prospect of a busy day's sport, and to make matters worse, the elements put in an objection to business com- mencing at what the ten o'clock breakfast division called an un- earthly hour, for, in addition to the wind blowing a perfect hurri- cane, the rain came down heavily just before the first race came on the t'ipis, and continued until after it was decided, rendering it impossible to witness the struggle, as it greeted us almost hori- zontal^', and the wind was just in the quarter to blow it well into one's teeth. Matters assumed a more promising complexion just as the horses got to the post for the second race, but only for a time, and lowg before the Nurseries came on for decision the rain got the best of the wind again, and poured incessantly to the close of the proceedings. A moderate lot contested the opening event, the D. I. Handicap Plate, and Stoekinger was made the favourite, bu. jirewas outpaced throughout, and the Ring would have been t' =< ated with a " turn- up" had not Beserve, who made all the rtauning, cut it when victory seemed within his grasp. We narrowly escaped another squabble over the Audley End Stakes, as after the numbers of Lord Glasgow's Clarissi- mus and Gorse had been displayed some time, and heavy wagering had taken place at evens and 6 to 5 on each, Lord Glasgow's Minie was telegraphed to start also, and many of the backers of Clarissimus claimed him on their side, having in their investments named " Lord Glasgow'' as their ally. But it fortunately happened Minie, who was backed at 5 to 2, did not reach the starting post in time, and Clarissimus was good enough by himself to beat the Baron's colours very easily. The • two matches which followed were remarkable only for the favou- rites winning in each case ; but the fielders got a good turn in the T. Y. C. Handicap Sweepstakes, as the favourite, Lady Clifden, ran out of all form, and left the finish to a couple of outsiders, Fiancee and Principal, the latter having been quite overlooked except by his owner and a very select few, who did not much care for his defeat on Monday, when considering only a flyer like Almack was before him. One of the three succeeding events being reduced to a match, and the last of them walked over for, ample time was afforded for speculating on the First Class Nursery, for which fifteen of the sixteen acceptances came out, the absentee being Hippolyta, who was struck out overnight, as was also the Baron's re- presentative in the Second Class, a filly by Voltigeur out of Bay Celia. There was some little speculation before the numbers were displayed, Attraction, Washington, Sheridan, and Guerilla having the greatest number of friends, while at one time the bro- ther to Dreadnought looked like " coming," the others most talked about being Lady Bohun and Echo. The victory of the latter's stable companion, Prince Lee Boo, brought him from « to 1 to 5 to 1 instanter, and Echo's triumph caused him to be momentarily in demand; but he did not carry much heavy metal, and declined to a good price at last. In the morning Washington and Attraction were alternate 7 to 1 agst The Beadle ( tk) in to 1 Echo ( off) 10 to 1 Hippolyta ( tk) The NUBSEBY STAKES ( Second Class) ( a Free Handicap) of 25 sovs each, for two year olds ; D.

Suspicion made the running, fol- lowed by Wandering Minstrel, Diviner, Bizzio, and Farnhurst, Young Rapid and Union Jack bringing up the rear. They ran thus to the cords, when Custance sent Union Jack along, and in a few strides lie deprived Wandering Minstrel of the lead ( Suspicion having beaten a retreat just previously), and won very easily by two lengths, Diviner finishing a head from the second, with the same advantage over Merry Wife, who was fourth; Farnhurst and Young Rapid were fifth and sixth, Suspicion seventh, and Esperance and Bizzio the last two, the lot being beaten off.

SATURDAY-— Fair weather and fwul by turns betided the Houghton meeting, and calm and storm alternately held sway. Now the sun shone fair, and a gentle breeze wafted softly across the Heath, and then succeeded dense mist and boisterous storm- To a certain extent the weather was typical of the meeting itself, for it opened with every prospect of passing off smoothly, but the hope was soon dispelled, and the tumult and confusion attendant on the result of the Cambridgeshire, will be remem- bered for many a year to come. Out of evil, however, comes good, and such a scene is never likely to occur here again, for, as we have before remarked, more stringent measures will be adopted, and trickery and fraud be rendered impossible. Amongst other improvements we may mention that it is proposed to make a saddling or rather unsaddling en- closure to the Rowley Mile Weighing Stand, to prevent the ingress of those unconnected with the horses rail- ing in each race. It is also in contemplation to enclose about half an acre in area with walls and palisading, and a covered shed for the jockey's hacks is to be erected within it. The occasion will doubtless be " improved" by a certain class of learned scribes," about as innocent of racing matters as a wild Indian of Hebrew, who are nevertheless ever on the qui vive for an opportunity of disparaging the national sport, and dilating on the enormities of racing, supremely ignorant or unprin- cipledly unmindful of the fact that such cases are ex- ceptions, not rules, and that, of the myriad of races brought to issue this season, a similar case to that attending the Cambridgeshire day cannot be found. There are scoundrels who will do anything for gain, will even desecrate the dead and rob a church, and small wonder is it, therefore, that the depravity of human nature should occasionally be developed in matters per- taining to racing. A certain personage, however, is not always so black as he is painted, and black- looking cases not always so black as they at first appear ; and even as regards weight being placed on the wrong side of the scale, we may observe that an in- stance has before now come under our experience when it| was affixed there by a rider who was unable to ride within two pounds of his proper weight, but by this ruse was enabled to all appearance to do so, and as all the other jockeys on the occa- sion alluded to weighed out in the same scale, they all carried the eame relative weight; that is, two pounds more than was actually correct. That this conduct was most unjustifiable there can be no question, but, on the other band, it could scarcely be branded as one of " gross viliany," committed for the purpose of " shameless r° The ^ wind blew great guns on this the concluding day, but any- thing was a relief to the drenching and dismal rain of yesterday, and the eight races were got through without any great incon- venience. Rather a later hour than usual was fixed upon to com- mence business, in order to allow some little time for a settlement of Thursday's and Friday's accounts ; and precisely at 12 o clock the five starters for the Handicap Plate over the Cambridgeshire Course were ready. For a time the talent had a difficulty in making a favourite, the chances of everything, with the exception of Sauterelle— who seemed lame— appearing to be so equally balanced that 3 to 1 and less was taken about each until the betting settled down, when Aurelian was made the decided favourite, and Cadiz receded to 4 and 5 to 1. However, the latter won all the way, and gave the layers a pretty good turn to start with for, besides the favourite, Cheertul and Liston were very heavily supported. The gentlemen committed another mistake when they made Topsy the favourite for the BM Sweepstakes, and almost despised the Birthday filly; but the talent were so sweet on Iphigenia for the two year old Han- dicap Plate that she started at less than 2 to 1, in despite of the larae field of a dozen and a half, and landed the " pot' in right gallant style, the second favourite, Moulsey, and the only other backed for any great amount of money, being among the un- placed lot. A' claiming Sweepstakes ot no importance divided this from the more important event of the day, the Houghton Handicap, for which only five of the twenty- three on the card were absentees, and a great number found their way into the books of the layers, Biondella, St Alexis, and Lady Abbess opening the faveurites, at about the same prices they closed at; but Alchymist was hardly mentioned, which may be accounted for by the fact of few knowing he was among the runners, as the high wind blew his number out of the telegraph board at the place of weighing, which caused its being taken down from that in the Bing. His owner, too, having tried and found him wanting in a trial spin during the week, did not trust him for sixpence, and thus the Ring " skinned the lamb" almost to a man. The lot were delayed at the post some little tune, which was all the more annoying when the start did not turn out a good one although the backers had no cause to complain of it, for the two favourites were always in front, Biondella making the running until she was passed at the cords by Alchymist, who won very easily. A claiming T. Y. C. Sweepstakes, forallages, brought out four two year olds and one three, Airedale, the latter turning up the winner, and landing her party a good stake, who did not have to part with her, as they also ran second with Loafer A similar event tell to the lot of one of the two old ones performing, Miss Emma ; only a couple of the baker's dozen entered failing to put in an appearance; and to wind up one of the busiest Houghton weeks on record successfully, the whole seven on the card contested the 8elling Handicap, overtha Audley End Course, for which a great " pot," entrusted to Hedworth, was very easily upset by Canzonette, who had her rivals safe some distance from home. This was the sixty- first race of the week, exclusive of the walks over; and we may state, on the authority of Mr Clark, that the six day's racing produced the large number of 449 competitors.

Two or three failures preceded an excellent start, Corsica taking the lead, followed by Iphigenia, and Sister to Knave of Trumps in the centre, Orphene and Moulsey being next up on the left. These were the positions in front till within a few strides of the post, when the favourite deprived Corsica of the command, and won cleverly by half a length ; same between second and third. Orpbene was a mode- rate fourth, Moulsey fifth, and Wild Thyme sixth, all together ; Bellasius and Flaneur next, the remainder being widely scat- tered.

There was no change until at about a distance from home Alchymist Bhot to the front, followed by Peignoir, Biondella, and Bathilde, neither of whom, however, reached Mr Payne's horse, who won easily by two lengths ; the third finishing a length and a half from the second, and beating the fourth by a head. St Alexis was fifth, and Peahen sixth, Almack and Welland next running home together at their heels.

Winder, Esq_ A large number of the hunting men of Antrim and Down were early on the course to assist the Marquis of Downshire in carrying out the meeting with eclat, and by half- past one o'clock the en- closure was crowded. A handicap race, first on the list, was quickly run off, and then followed the race for the Brownlow Cup, the gift of Lord Lurgan, in the result of which so many took a lively interest, and were not backward in supporting their fancy, and the " heavy" most in favour was the winner, a fine cut of a hunter, who was purchased a few weeks before for less than a " pony," and defeated eight nags of the right hunting stamp fully up to fourteen stone in any country. It is in contemplation to get up a steeple chase next year, and have two days' sport. The fine open country at the rear of the Stand House is in every way suitable for the purpose, and being intersected by fair, sound, na- tural fences, it is likely such a project would take, and prove a well- timed and most interesting addition to the October Meeting.

They got off nearly in line, Cooper's Hill with a slight lead, which he quickly increased to a couple of lengths, fol- lowed by Tim Whiffler, Great Hopes, Crofton, and the others to the lower side of the course, where Tim Whiffler went to the front and improved the pace, with Cooper's Hill, the Duffer, Bumper, and Crofton close in his wake, Ferighna and the others running on in single file along the far side of the course and out of view. On reappearing from the back of the hill, half a mile from home, Tim Whiffler was still in front, and the lot came down Conlans Hill wide apart. When fairly in the straight, Bumper, pulling over the others, had the race in hand, half way up the rails shot past his competitors, and won in a canter by two lengths ; same between second and third, a neck between third and fourth; the others tailed off.

A general meeting of the Jockey Club was held at Newmarke, on Wednesday, Oct 28, present. Lord Coventry, Admiral Roust Mr Alexander ( stewards) ; Lord Annesley, Mr Barne, Duke of Beaufort, Count Batthyany, Lord Chesterfield, Mr Stirling Craw- furd, Mr W. G Craven, Lord Courtenay, Sir H. Des Voeux's, Mr G. W. Fitzwilliam, Lord Glasgow, Mr Greville, Sir J. Hawley, Marquis of Hastings, Sir F. Johnstone, Capt Lane, Mr R. H. Nevill, Mr Payne, Lord W. Powlett, Mr Savile, Duke of St Albans, Lord Stamford, Lord Strathmore, Col Towneley, Lord Uxbridge, Lord Westmoreland, Lord Wilton, and Lord Winchilsea. The dates of the Newmarket meetings, 1864, as published in the notice of this meeting, were approved. On the motion for an alteration of the terms of challenging for the Whip, Sir Joseph Hawley moved that they remain as they now are. On a division, the numbers were— for Sir Joseph Hawley's motion, 17 ; against it, 14. It was resolved that in future the Cup should be open to the horses © f members of the Rooms at Newmarket, as well as of the Jockey Club, and that the challenge should take plaee in July, to run on Thursday in the Houghton, B. C., four year olds carrying 8st71b, five 9st lib, six and aged 9st 41b, a match or sweepstakes of 200 each, p. p., B. C. When the question of raising the new Stand was brought for- ward, it was resolved that the Stand should remain as it is for the present, but that an enclosure should be added for the greater convenience of the owners, riders, and trainers of horses coming to weigh. An alteration was made in the salary of the keeper of the Rooms, in accordance with the recommendation of the house committee. On the motion of Mr Savile, No. 57 of the Rules of Racing was amended be inserting after the words, " the owner of the second horse to be first entitled to claim, the words, " and the others in the order in which their horses are placed.'' It was not thought necessary to make any alteration in Buie 41. On the motion of Lord Glasgow, it was resolved— To add to the clause which makes the rule as to half- mile raees not applicable to matches and private sweepstakes of 25 sovs each or upwards, the words, " handicap sweepstakes excepted, and this alteration to take effect from this date.— See Sh. Cal. No. XIV.,. p. 64,— Adjourned. The Houghton Meeting of 1863 has andoubtedly been produc- tive of more incident than any of its predecessors that we can call to our recollection; and for the first four days Newmarket was in a complete fog— literally on Monday and figuratively on Tuesday and Wednesday, for up to Thursday morning the Cambridgeshire Stakis and one of Wed. nesday's events were still undecided— the gensral public being quite mystified as to the merits of the more important case— while on Monday the " literal'' fog was so dense that » 3t only did ths Commencement of operations have to be deferred half an hour, but it was found impracticable at last to bring oil the Criterion, on account of the impossibility of seeing across the course. It was not finally settled even when the judge's fiat went forth on Tuesday, an objection being lodged against the winner, which, had there been grounds for it, would have disqualified her for all hep winning races thisseason. But the sen sat no n it caused was nothing compared with that attending the disputed Cambridgeshire, con- cerning which everybody was in a fever of excitement from the moment Catch ' em Alive passed the winning chair until the ques- tion was finally set at rest on Thursday. An earthquake could not have caused a much greater sensation, and few dreamed of analysing the different events as they passed off after the opening day, when those decided did not afford the critics much employ- ment, and but for the influence one or two of them had 011 the Cambridgeshire we might almost pass them over here. The " Trial Plate,'' run in a fog, was a very easy affair for Stock- inger, and his performance brought Polynesia, a stable aom- panion, into notice for the big event, the forward positions of Aurelian, Twilight, Touch and Go, and Queen of Trumps at the finish also speaking well for Merry Hart, lolurno, Carnival, and Despair, if it did not improve their positions in the market to any great extent. But the defeats of Revolver and Tornado did not have that depressing effect 011 Limosma and Summerside they would have done had their Cesarewitch form not been so good, and the result only made it look really bad for the backers of such oatsiders as the Girafi'e colt, Port Boyal, and the Comet, the run- ning of Gorse, Waterwitch, and Fanfaron being dead against them. Merry Hart's party had a downright good thing before them after Almack'a unexpected victory over the Rowley Mile, for it was a more decisive performance than that of Auretian, and gave them a faint measure of Catch ' em Alive, even supposing the latter was as much the superior of Bosh as he was believed to be, for Manrico beat Bosh at the First October Meeting, and could not make Almack gallop to- day. The match between No Name and Black Lily proved the youngster had not recovered her summer form, for it was a very near thing between the two— as the contest between the Sister to Ace of Clubs and Privateer would also have been, but that the latter was not quite up to the mark, and after all the 21b different terms on which they met made but a length difference in their positions, compared with those they occupied when running together last meeting. Tuesday's sports were worthy of the " grand day" of the meet- ing, for such it must be called, when Fille del'Air, Prince Arthur, Ely, Evelina, Coast Guard,& c, joined issue for the Criterion; Fair- water, Lady Clifden, and Argonaut for the All- aged Stakes; Johnny Aimstroug, Wingrave, Caller Ou, & c, for the Rowley Mile Plate; and some of the best speed of the day for a great event like the Cambridgeshire, not forgetting that the proceed- ings were assisted at by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. In fact, looking at the brilliant card and the company present, we might almost have fancied ourselves at Ascot, but for the ab- sence of all ceremony, and the ridiculous appearance of the Punch and Judy's tlieatre iike structure in which it was compulsory to stow the Heir to the Crown of Great Britain. The once- called Feather Plate re- opened the ball; but , except that it resulted in favour of the juvenile body, as usual, and in the triumph of " public form'' over private reputaiion, Claxton being a very fair performer, we have nothing to say concerning it— unless we may make the suggestion that theconuitions require re- adjustinent, for althoughit is an all- aged race. it seldom happens that more than one or two old horses participate in theencounter, and only the twoyear olds seem to possess the remotest chance of winning now- a- days. It was anticipated, with some show of reason, the Criterion would bring forth something that might enlighten the world concern- ing the " two year old form'' of the season; but the result only left it more complicated than ever, and more particularly contra- dicted the Doncaster doings. There Ely beai Fille de 1' Air easily for the Champagne, and Coast Guard ran away from the two in a mile spin two days afterwards, in addition to Prince Arthur. Here, however, Coast Guard, when having the best of the weights with Fille de l'Air and Ely, was " nowhere,'' and the latter also suffered such an easy defeat as to prove the Champagne to have been a false run race, if the 10 sovs Sweepstakes at Doncaster were not. We dare not yet entertain this latter supposition, for Coast Guard did not gallop at all in his old style to- day, and the hill was a regular stopper for him. But we are bound to believe now Fille de l'Air was amiss at Doncaster, and go back to the opinion that- she is a long way the best two year old of the season, which we were compelled to entertain after she ran away from Scottish Chief and others at Goodwood. Prince Arthur was too closely pressed by Evelina and Caryophyllus at the finish for his form to be A 1, especially when looking at the latter's subsequent defeat at the hands of the Miss Sarah colt this meeting; and he had but a length the best of Evelina, whose being a head before Ely con- firmed the latter's running with Totnato at the First October Meeting, for it was said Evelina was but a neck better than Tomato, who ran Ely to a head. There were two " dark " candi- dates in the field, Mr Jackson's Vauxhall, and Mr. Naylor's Gazza Ladra, neither of whom showed form; still the latter finished be- fore her two companions, Coast Guard and Linda, plainly showing Coast Guard could not have been himself, and it may happen that he was upset more than the others through having been set for the race two nights in succession. Anyhow, he has disgraced him- self no more than the majority of his Derby rivals have occa- sionally done during the season, and we must not hastily con- demn a horse of his stamp for one bad performance. But Ely we are bound to bring down to the same form as Evelina and Tomato, looking at his two exhibitions at Newmarket, and Prince Arthur must also be reckoned quite his equal; while, from the fact of the pair being so far behind Fille de 1' Air, next year's three year olds must be a moderate lot if either can win the Derby. The result of the All- aged Stakes showed Lady Clifden was not up to the mark, as Fairwater gave her 51b over her own course; arid Argo- naut also figured somewhat ingloriously, if we may compare his exhibition with that which made him out such a speedy horse at the July Meeting. Wingrave, too, tailed to run up to his form in the Rowley Mile Plate, as he should have been very close to Johnny Armstrong, the pair having run a severe race at Don- caster last year, since which time both seemed to have improved in about an equal ratio; but the Baron's horse was never 111 front, and Johnny's immediate attendants past the winning chair were Croagh Patrick and Onesander, the victory being accom- plished easily enough for Catch ' em Alive to remain firm in the Cambridgeshire market, although it scarcely looked such a good thing as many believed it, for Johnny did not give Croagh Patrick more than a 51b beating, and the latter, who gave him 31b for the year, had run so badly at the First and Second October Meetings, that he woula not have been a " pot" even at 7st 71b in the Cambridgeshire— 21b less than Johnny would have required to be in at, it was said, to make him the equal of Catch ' em Alive. The great event stood next, and it turned out one that will not be forgotten for many a day. The contest itself was exciting enough, with two score of starters, which included no fewer than twenty- eight three year olds, the four;) year olds only numbering eight strong ; but the latter body just managed to produce the winner by a head, which might have been reversed in favour of the juveniles had all the jockeys weighed in and out at the same scales. With the actual race and its attendant squabble we have little to do in this column; but we may be allowed to remark that Carnival ran the good horse he had always shown himself in public, although it was im- possible for him in the final struggle to give nearly three stone to Merry Hart and Summerside, and an equivalent of almost the same to Catch'em Alive and a stone extra to Juliet, who, in her seventh year, was within an ace of performing a feat she was never at any time deemed capable of. Her forward position, per- haps, serves to show the moderate calibre of the competitors, as we do not for a moment suppose that the " Romeo lords," patient as they are, had been saving the mare; and it looks 011 the cards that Limosina, had she retained the form she exhibited on the Cesare- witch day, would have accomplished a very easy victory. She was, however, virtually out of the race from start to finish, and pulled up in such a plight that all kinds of uncharitable remarks were made, few caring to look the fact in the face that the mare had performed in nearly all the many false starts that occurred. The long delay may have upset her, as it did others, and she is not the first " good thing'' by many a dozen that has been overthrown in a short spin by the chapter of accidents. Summerside beat all the other Cesarewitch horses, as we opined, and the result showed we made but little mistake when leaving the issue to Limosina, Catch ' em Alive, Jack of Hearts, Summerside, Bathilde, Borealis, Blue Mantle, and Carnival, for only Jack of Hearts and Blue Mantle disgraced themselves, the temper of the latter allowing him to be quite upset long before the flag fell, and Polynesia, who took the place of Bathilde, was one of the foremost lot throughout. Thus in reducing the final struggle to a match between Limosina and Catch ' em Alive, we felt bound to give the latter's party the greatest share of our respect, the Cesarewitch having made us run counter to " public running." Still, the backers of the Woodyate's crack may thank their good fortune just as much as their judgment, as in addition to his great rival, Limosina, being all wrong, another formidable opponent, Victor, breaking down in the race, and two or three others being hemmed in all the way, or meeting with other mishaps, there"" is the fact of Merry Hart having undoubtedly carried 21b more weight than he was entitled to do, owing to the scales he weighed out at being improperly balanced. We cannot but re- echo the opinion of the Jockey Club stewards, that Catch ' em Alive was entitled to the stakes from the moment the scales were rectified; but we do think that in future jockeys should be compelled to weigh out in the same scales that they weigh in at, under any circumstances, for it is evident that by not doing so in this case a great injustice has been unintentionally done to the friends of Merry Hart, who justly argue that he would have won but for the discrepancy be- tween the scales on the flat and those at the Criterion finish. The four events following the Cambridgeshire merely brought out a superior class of platers, and we can dismiss them after making the observation that the two year old Teddy, a half brother to Warminster, showed a greatly improved form in one of the Handi- caps, which he won " in a walk," when giving 51b to Breeze and 91b to Vanessa, and receiving but little more than the weight for the year from Vivid and Miss Armstrong. On Wednesday the interest centred in the two year old races, for the most valuable of which, the Glasgow, neither of the two darkies opposing the Miss Sarah colt and Caryophyllus could make a successful debut, the former winning all the way, and beating Sir Joseph's colt so easily as to show the Criterion lot behind Fille de l'Air in a worse light than ever. In the £ 50 Plate, Croagh Patrick could not give the 301b to the 8enorita colt; and, despite the liberal odds laid on him, many anticipated he would fail to do so, when bearing in mind he had but little the best of Onesander in the Rowley Mile Plate on Tuesday, at 161b difference only. Umpire's defeating Knowsley in their seven furlongs Match was merely a question of his running kind ; but Attraction exhibited better form than ever in the Private Handicap for two year olds, as she beat the he- roine of Bedford, Soumise, with the greatest ease, and gave weight to several others. The " Private Handicaps" were not successfully inaugurated, for the first of them, that won by Juliet, caused a long delay at the post, and also a dispute as to the legality of the start, the squabble plainly proving that the Jockey Club committed no great error when abolishing such races. The Match between the moderate Buckfoot and the dark Vagabond was all one way, as the latter had evidently never been trained, and it was astonishing that he should have been brought from Malton even to meet such a " duffer" as Buckfoot, when £ 50 and the travelling expenses might have been saved by keeping him at home. Countersign, the aptly- named colt by Vedette out of Voucher, improved on Ills recent form by winning the Subscrip- tion Plate very cleverly, and the good fight Beatrix made with Ely for the 50 sovs Sweepstakes confirmed his defeat in the Criterion, at the same time putting him behind Crisis, the winner of the Clearwell last meeting, wherein Beatrix, who was very heavily backed, received 31b and a 71b beating from Mr Merry's filly. On Thursday Wingrave flatly contradicted his Tuesday's per- formance by carrying home his 9st over the severe twe miles very easily, when giving lumps of weight away, which raises the question whether distance is not really his forte ; and there was another contradiction of " public form" when the Sister to Ace of Clubs ran away from Tomfoolery over the first half of Ab. M-, for the latter had " split'' the highly- tried Yamuna and Fille de l'Air in the Hopeful, and it appeared a certainty for her on paper, con- sidering how close together were Ave of Clubs's sister and Priva- Attwo/ iUmi'o form hoinn 9cf. hafltoi* 1) 11, l fho lat> A|.' n in t. llp cellent programme having been issued for the two days, which embraces a dozen items, the added money to them reaching tha liberal sum of £ 550. The entries and acceptances for the closed events are, consequently, very flattering to the promoters of tha meeting, and we hear of such great improvements effected in the Stand and other quarters that the meeting is bound to take a first- class certificate among those coming off during the autumn months. The Worcester Autumn Handicap, one mile and three furlongs, has three dozen acceptances, including the Cesarewiteh victrix, Lioness, 4 yrs, 8st 61b, who can hardly be expected to compete with Umpire, 6 yrs, 8st Sib, over this distance, and the American horse should hold safe all the heavy weights down to Costa, 4 yrs, 7st 81b, unless Exchequer, 4 yrs, 8st 21 b » should be selected to do battle for him instead, which does not seem probable after his exhibition last Tuesday. Despair, 4 yrs, 7st, ran forward for the Cambridgeshire, and must be close enough on paper So Summerside, 3 yrs, 6st, when meet- ing her on 41b better terras ; but we have an opinion Donny- brook, 3 yrs, 6st 81b, must beat them both, when having so little theworstof the weights, and Soman Bee, 3 vrs, 6st 61b, ran so badly on Tuesday last that hs alone must represent us among the three year olds. We do not care to look beyond the lot above- named for the winner, and sball place the greatest reliance in Donnybrook and Umpire. For the Nursery Plate, a half- mile spin, we notice that neither Practitioner, 7st lllb, Dawdle, Tet 91b, Cutaway, 7st 21b, nor Jane Shove, 6st 131b, have been badly treated by the handicapper ; but the weights have been too carefully adjusted for us to attempt a selection of the absolute winner, especially when there are several to represent one or two very powerful interests. The Handicap Sweepstakes, one mile, would not be out of Fon- tenoy's compass were he in form ; and failing him we should look for the winner in the representative of Lord Coventry, who has Umpire, 6 yrs, 9st, and Exchequer, 4 yrs, 8st 31b, engaged here, as well a3 in the Autumn Handicap, where the young one is only receiving 61b, instead of lllb, from his older compatriot. The Autumn Flying Stakes, rather more than half a mile, will not bring out many to overthrow Lady Derby, 5 yrs, 8st, and Umpire, 6 yrs, 9st 61b. The other events completed are of the jumping order, and we can have no more to say concerning them than tnat Socks ought; to win the Grand Annual Steeple Chase. The Hereford events completed at present are all dependent on. the Worcester results, and the acceptances have yet to be declared for the principal event, the Herefordshire Stakes, wherein Berke- ley, however, strikes us as " well in."

A draft of his lordship's horses was advertised for sale during the Houghton week, but in consequence of the determination of their noble owner to give up racing altogether, the sale was put off, and the entire stud will shortly be offered at auction by Messrs Tattersall. THE ST LEGER WINNER.— A short time since, when in pro- gress, we were favoured with a view of a portrait of the celebrated winner, Lord Clifden, from the easel of Mr H. Hall, of New- market, who was specially entrusted with the commission by his noble owner, which, for faithful portraiture and brilliancy of colour, we have never seen surpassed. It has elicited from Lord St Vincent the following gratifying testimonial:—" Sir: I am immensely gratified with Lord Clifden's picture. It is, in fact, Lord Cliiden to the life, and a more correct fac simile of an animal I never saw. I can only say that I cannot find a fault in it, and all who have seen the lioise and looked upon his pic- ture are also enraptured with it.— 1 remain, yours, & c, ST VIN- CENT.— P. 8. If I were never to see the horse alive again, I should always see him in your picture.— Godmersham Park, Canterbury, Oct 21, 1863." Dollar has declared forfeit for the Li verpool Cup. Orphene, 2 yrs, has left Osborne's f » r Drewitt's stable. Old Calabar has joined the stud at the Harleston Paddocks. Tramore Races have been postponed until next spring. Mr Walker has sold Hilly Grove, 3 yrs, to go abroad. Mr J. Wood has sold Tom King, by King Tom out of Bla ck Swan, 3 yrs, to Mr Abel, for a hunter. Thomas Fordham, the jockey, has gone to Australia, to ride as first jockey. The colt by Vedette out of Voucher, 2 yrs, has been named Countersign. The Crow ( yearling), by Wild Huntsman, and a yearling filly by Rataplan have recently arrived at Kellow's stable. Mr John Scott has named his filly foal by Leamington out of Cypriana Cora. ESSEX.— Some hurdle and flat races will take place on the race course, Galley wood Common, on Tuesday, Nov 3. James Fordham, many years head lad and jockey in Drewitt's stable, is open to an engagement as head lad or trainer. Address, Cambridge. LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETING.— We beg to call attention to the closing of several stakes at this meeting, particulars of which will be found in our front page. Chelmsford Spring Meeting, extending over two days, with flat and hurdle racing and steeple chasing, will take place the last week in Eebruary. Mr La Mert sold his yearling colt Morris Dancer, by Lord of the Isles, and a filly foal by Trumpeter out of Styria, on Tuesday last, to Mr Treen. The yearling filly by Colsterdale out of Greyling's dam, whilst; at walking exercise, dropped down dead a few days since at Woodyeates. Mr T. Stevens, we are happy to hear, is so far recovered from his late accident as to be enabled last week to leave Tunbridge for Ilsley. Lord Coventry's Kinsman, by Fisherman out of My Neice, 3 yrs, has been put to the stud, and stands at Batsford, near Moreton- in- Marsh. Rising Sun, Brian Boru, and Spruce have been sent to South- ampton, from whence they will be shipped on Monday next for the Cape of Good Hope. LINCOLN RACES.— The Duke of Beaufort, the Duke of St Albans, and Mr G. F. Heneage have consented to act as Stewards of the Lincoln Autumn Meeting in 1864. DONCASTEB SEPTEMBER MEETING, 1864.— The Stewards for this meeting are the Earl of Annesley, the Earl of Stamford and Warrington, and the Earl of Westmoreland. NEWMARKET.— Bedford House and stables have been disposed of by Mr Wm. Butler, for £ 5,000, to Capt Machell, whose horses will be under the care of George Bloss. We are requested to contradict the statement that Payne's time being up, he was open to engagements. Payne never entertained the slightest idea of leaving his old master. NOTTINGHAM AND DEBBY MEETINGS, 1864.— The Nottingham Spring Meeting commences March 1, and Derby on the third. The Nottingham July Baces commence on July 19, and Derby Summer on August 30. LIVERPOOL AND CHESTEB, 1864.— The Liverpool Spring Meet- ing is fixed for Tuesday and Wednesday, March 8 and 9, and the Chester Meeting commences on the Tuesday after the " Two Thousand week. WOLVERHAMPTON, 1864.— It will be seen by advertisement that the Stamford Biennial Stakes at tfcris meeting closes on Tuesday next, Nov 3, to Messrs Weatherby, or to the secretary at Wolver- hampton. There are already 24 subscribers. Amongst the latest improvements at Newmarket an illuminated clock is now conspicuous in the High- street, adjoining the new chapel. The inhabitants of the town have subscribed liberally towards this useful and elegant addition to their street archi- tecture. Capt Barlow has bought Oulston of the widow of the late Mr Henry Elwes, and the horse will consequently remain at Hasketon, where he has been standing for the last two seasons. The brood mare Homily, by Surplice, is another recent addition to the same stud, and a purchase from Lord Ciifden, who has also just got quit of the stallion Pelion, by Ion, as it is said, for 700gs. LEAMINGTON AND WARWICKSHIRE HUNT MEETING.— The following stakes close and name on Tuesday next, namely, the Donnington Handicap, the Great Welter Cup, the Nursery Handi- cap, the Grand Annual Steeple Chase, and the Hurdle Race. There will be a day's military steeple chasing and flat races on the Thursday of Warwick Meeting, of which full particulars will be duly advertised. Hereford Races and Steeple Chases take place on Thursday and Friday next, the twodaysfollowirig Worcester, from whence there is a rail. The Trial Stakes and Town Plate close on Tuesday next. Nominations will be received by Mr Johnson, the judge, at Worcester. The Corporation Plate, City Selling Plate, Hunters' Stakes, and the Dealing Steeple Chase close the evening before running. Particulars will be found in our advertising columns. STOCKTON RACES, 1864.— We beg to call the attention of owners and trainers to the particulars in our advertising columns of three stakes for Stockton, which close and name on Tuesday next, Nov 3, namely, the Zetland Biennial, for now yearlings; the Hard- wicke Stakes, for now foals; and the Great Northern Leger, also for now foals. There are already upwards of 20 subscribers to each stake. FLAWITH RACES.— The races at the pretty and influential vil- lage of Flawith, which is situate about ten miles north of the city of York, took place on Tuesday last, when there was an immense assemblage of company, and the sports were of a very excellent character. Mr Colley officiated as judge, and Mr Tindall as starter. The following is the result of the day's sport:— A Silver Cup, three quarters of a mile, was won, in three heats, by Mr Morfltt's Ace of Clubs, beating two others. A Farmers' Prize, over the same distance, was won, also in three heats, by Mr John- son's bay mare, beating two others. A Pony Race, same distance, was won by Mr Johnson's pony ( in two heats), beating three others. A trotting match concluded the day's sports, which, in consequence of a dispute, was, however, undecided. INCREASED RAILWAY ACCOMMODATION TO NEWMABKET.— A new line of railway, about twelve miles in length, is on the stocks, which, after leaving the Great Eastern station at Ely, is to pass in nearly a straight line close by the town of Soham and village of Fordham to the Newmarket and Bury Bail way, at Newmarket. Direct communication will thus be established between the city of Ely, with its population of 9,000; the important town of Bury St Edmunds, with a population of 14,000; and Newmarket, with a population of 5,000 ; and a much more convenient transit afforded to the great influx of visitors from the northern and mid- land districts to the Newmarket racing meetings. A large portion of the eastern coast, with a vast agricultural district, will also be brought into more direct communication with the midland and northern counties. THE HOBSES OF THE 6TH DRAGOONS.— At the very moment when the Commander- in- Chief in India, for the better support of Colonel Crawley, was sententiously informing the officers of the 6th Dragoons that " care of their horses was the first duty of cavalry," and was publicly reprimanding them for their negli- gence and indifference in that respect, a report was lying on his excellency's table— its ink scarcely dry— from Colonel Apperley, an officer selected by the Government to examine into the stable economy of tha British cavalry in India; and in that report, which is dated May 1, 1862, the matchless condition and sound- ness of the horses of the 6th Dragoons, and the general efficiency of the corps, are held up by Colonel Apperley as an example to the rest of the army. . . . The regimental state of the 6th Dragoons on the 1st of March, 1861— just two months before Col Crawley joined them— showed only 13 sick and lame horses out of between 600 and 700.—" J. O" in the Comhill Magazine for November.—[ Colonel Apperley is a high authority, from his great experience, on the horses of India ; being indeed well bred for the duty here eonfided to him, as a son of the celebrated Nimrod.— ED.

However, Tomfoolery had run so badly before she came to Newmarket, that the only circumstance to wonder at now is her getting a place in such good company for the Hopeful. The Free Handicap resulted in the second defeat of Carnival, who performed so indifferently that he could not have recovered from the effects of the race for the Cambridge- shire; for, admitting there was nothing astonishing in the Giraffe colt beating him at the weights, Glenorchy had no business before him at 51b. The other events decided call for no remark, and we must defer our observations, on Friday's and Saturday's running until our next. The change from Nswmarket, with its wear and tear, to Wor- cester will be quite a relief, and we can make the observation with- out detracting frora.

MARKET HARBORO' STEEPLE CEASE RULES, U8S3- ~ Ma EDITOR : I was glad to see by your paper of the 24th ' that Bute XII. had been amended in conformity with the sugges- tions I made in your columns with reference to a dispute which arose as to its construction at the end of last season. I do not, however, quite understand from vour account whether the latter part of the rule, with reference to the publication of extra weight after a race, has been altogether expunged, if not the question as to the publication of weigtit is still open ; whether in case of a horse carrying, say Gib over, his weight is to be. published as hav- ing carried elb or' 21b. I must say it seems perfectly clear to me, having reference to the construction of Bute XXXVIII. of racing, that the extra weight is to commence from the 4lt>, and not from the handicapped weight. As, however, the words " actually carried" afford good ground for contending that all extra weight, if over 4lb, should be published, it would be very desirable that the latter part of Rule XII. should be " officially amended," as stewards and their representatives lmve plenty f. f work to do, especially at country meetings, without being catted upon to place a construction upon sentences as involved and obscure as the clauses of an act of Parliament after they have been pruned and trimmed in committee.— Yours, & c, Oct 28, 18* 33. T. B. H. VINCENNES STEEPLE CHASES. ( FBOM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) The first day of the Autumn meeting at Vincenn. es came off last Sunday, and although the attendance fell far short of those that so singularly characterised the Spring Meetings, there was, never- theless, a fair sprinkling of the fashionable element and of the general race- going habitues. The sport commenced with a Steeple Chase, for half breds, and this event had, as a novelty in its con- dition. a clause that exempted any one from riding who was not a Frenchman, both on the side of his father and mother being es- pecially mentioned in the clause, so that in racing parlance tfce race was confined to half bred horses and thorough bred French- men ; this exciting event falling to the lot of Jason, who has been by far the best half bred performer out this season, though his career amongst this class has now nearly terminated, for these half bred stakes are only open to horses that have not won 20,000f, which sum Ja3on has credited to his owner to within two or three thousand francs. The Grand Handicap of lO. OOOf brought ten to the post, and the distance being over four miles, Catspaw was fancied the most for it, being moreover supported by his party; but although he was only giving Auricula 41b, he never had a chance with the latter in any part of the race, and the grey quite astonished every one by his performance, for the pace" throughout wa3 clipping, the race being timed by a very responsible party in nine minutes exactly, so that Auricula seems of lute to have improved amazingly in his staying qualities. Mons Desvigne was greatly delighted with his victory, and he subsequently gave Enoch a handsome present for the masterly style in which lie rode the winner. The last race was for French military officers, and Suipe, very ably handled by Lieut H. de Pierre3, carried this event off cleverly. We regret to add that a very serious accident occurred ill this race to M du Warm, the son of a large landed proprietor in the neighbourhood of Chantilly, who was insensible for more than an hour afterwards, and was reported to hare died on Sunday night, but from later accounts we are glad to say that this was an jexaggei- ati^ n, SUNDAY, OCT 25.— PBIXDELA PTRAMIDE of 4,660f, for half bred mares and geldings bred in France ; entrance 50f, 20 ft: the second received 500i out of the stakes; weight for age ; Frenchmen only allowed to ride; two miles four furlongs, over twenty fences ; 11 subs, M Forcinal's br g Jason, by Seducteur, 4 yrs, 1381b Birce 1 MG.

Witch went away with the lead, followed by Yare and Souvenir, who refused the first fence, and then his place was taken by Jason, followed by Blainville, Madelon, Mastrilio, Basilic, and Villons, in which order they passed the Stands over the brook, and to the Irish bank, at which. Madelon got rid of her jockey, but the others went on all right to the double, where Villons refused. Passing the fort on the other side, M Forcinal's three were in front, followed by Yare and Blainville, five only being now in the race ; but on ascending the hill Witch was beaten, and a little further on, at a hedge and ditch, Mastrilio refused, Jason then carrying on the running, and never afterwards being headed, won easily by a length, Yare finishing a tolerable third: Witch was a very bad fourth, followed at a long interval by Young Mastrilio.

Auricular led, followed by Lady Sting, Catspaw, Gisons, Egmont, Beau Sejour, Biribi, and Lauda- num in the order named. All got well over the brook opposite the Stands, and then Lady Sting headed the grey, and led in good style over the Irish bank, at which Lauda- num obstinately refused, and was ultimately ridden back to the enclosure, the others going on in nearly the same order as above indicated for the first round, and until they had run nearly to the bottom of the course for the second time, when Lady 8ting was beaten, and Auricula then wentto the front again, followed by Beau Sejour and Catspaw, which order of running was maintained for the remainder of the journey ; for the gallant grey, staying much longer than is generally his wont, continued his'lead at a rattling pace, and without making a single mistake throughout, ran home the easiest of winners by twenty lengths, nearly the same interval separating the second from the third; Biribi was a bad fourth. Gisors, Egmont, and Lady Sting were stopped some distance from home. Net value of stakes ll, 700f.

At the big bank N& Vuleuse came down a tremendous crasher, rolling over Mons du Warru and injuring him very severely; the others going on all ri^ ht to the ploughed land at the bottom of the course, where Ringleader went to the front, and led, waited upon by Magenta to the fort, when Snipe, who had been gradually creeping up, took the lead, and carried on the running to the last hurdle, when Magenta joined him, the two then running a goad race home, which Snipe won cleverly at last by a length; Museum finishing close up, third, and Brave fourth.

Mr Hussey- Freke has recently taken up his resi dence at Hannington Hall, and since he has been in the neigh bourhood he has used his influence in promoting sport generally and it is mainly owing to his exertions that the committee to whom the arrangements were entrusted were enabled to offer a very attractive day's sport.

Sylph beat Donna Maria DEATH OF PLAYMAN.— This clever hunter and steeple chaser, the property of Mr Arthur Yates, of Bishops Sutton, Hants dropped down dead in the hunting field on Saturday last. Mr A, Yates was hunting his harriers, and his whip, Childs, was riding Playman for exercise. During the " draw" and before the " find" the old horse rolled over dead, without. a struggle. Mr Arthur Yates had ridden him since he was two years old. A better hunter never crossed a country. The pace was never too great, nor the fences too big for him; the only time he was ever known to fall was in the Liverpool Steeple Chase two years ago, when John Nightingall was steering him. Mr Arthur Yates has ridden him in several steeple chases, hurdle, and flat races, with great success, and feels his loss severely. That champion of steeple chase jockeys, " young Ben Land," who was out with Mr Yates, when he saw the old horse stretched out dead, exc'aimed, with great feeling, in his own peculiar and characteristic manner, " Such is the end of the gamestof the game." Playman was bred by Mr John Scott in 1850, by Flatcatcher out of Ellen, by Starch. Mr Arthur Yates has purchased Yorkshire Grey, at a long figure, from Mr J. Anderson.

Sapphire ran a bye— Bowfell dr Retribution beatLocumTenens Mermaid beat Malcolm Imperatrice beat Hypatia Henrietta beat Comedy Ingoldsby beat Glendower Perseverance beat Malapert Infanta beat Belle of the Village Having previously given lengthy details of the three first days' running at this very excellent meeting, I will at once commence with Friday, the fourth day. We were again favoured with de- lightful weather, the sun shining brilliantly throughout the day. The meeting was, as on the first day, Stonehenge. The first beat was taken on the left of the Stones. Bindweed and Syringa, two sisters, were put into slips for the third ties of the Great Western CUD, but a short time elapsed before Pussy sprang from her form, and, running slightly in favour of Bindweed, she gained first turn ; a couple of exchanges followed, and Syringa killed. It was a short spin, and won with but a trifle to spare. Huncamunca and Alliance ran very evenly for some distance until the hare ran a little in favour of Hunca'munca. who quickly scored four points. Alliance then took the two following points, and, in an attempt to kill, stumbled. Huncamunca then drove the hare to Normanton Goree.— The Druid Cup ( third ties); Sackbut went eff with a lead of five lengths, turned twice, and put in Stock- bridga The Croxteth dog then gave a clear go- by, a performance he twice repeated, and a one- sided affair ended with a good kill. Crimson Spark and Oliver Cromwell: The latter, the cleverer, in- side gained the run- up, [ which was circuitous, and won two- thirds of the course to Mornington Gorse.— The Ladies' Plate ( third ties): Snowflake was three lengths faster than Silkstone from slips, the latter only getting in but once, when SnowfUke took the hare from her and killed. Revoke and Li- bna : The latter led from slips, but appeared momentarily un- sighted. Bevoke drew past and gained first turn; Libnah, close up, merrily went to work, and after scoring four or five points, put the hare to Bevoke, who killed without any merit. Ti e Chal- lenge Cup ( sseond ties) : Sapphire and Retribution after leaving slips got wide of each other, but Sapphire gained first possession by favour; however, afterwards she ran the cleverer, giving two raeing gobyes, drove the hare to cover, which contained but little underwood; consequently they drove the hare through, and had a stinging eourse to another cover, three quarters of a mile distant; this prevented the pet of the Croxteth kennel going further in the stake ; as having lost a dew- claw, she pulled up lame. After the pumping trials Infanta had with The Bee and Belle of the Village on Wednesday and Thursday, she was unable to go off with that ( ire she had previously displayed. Perseverance, a very quick be- ginner, went off with thelead, got on good terms with her game, and soonrrnlup along score, when she fell. Infanta, having warmed up, went on with the lead, and it was evident would stay the longest, but killed before she had nearly rubbed off the points against " her. Imperatri « e was faster than Mermaid, who, when in, could not keep her position, the former winning cleverly with a fist- run- ning hare. Ingoldsby and Henrietta ran over the same ground as Sapphire and Retribution, the former winning with plenty to spare, but was stopped fromj getting further in the stake.— The Beacon Hill Stakes ( first ties) : Leah ( whose trial the day before was but short) put out Seasick, who instantly she got in killed ; they met on rather unequal terms, Seasick having had a long trial in the first round for the stake, in which she did the majority of the work. Berengaria took the lead, and gained first turn, putting the hare to Sweetlips, but again went up inside, and s ored next turn; a long give- and- take course followed, which was only won by the early points made by Berengaria. Belle of the Season and Sea Serpent had also a very long contest, first one showing supe- riority, then the other, but Belle of the Season staying the longer, gained the fidi.— The Bulford Stakes ( first ties): Luke and All Over: Luke scored the four first points, All Over then gave a go- by and turned; Luke serving, went off with a strong lead to cover. Landgrave and Boomerang ran very indilfereritly, both turning very wide, however Landgrave won by superior speed. Lighterman ran a bye.— The Stonehenge Stakes ( first ties) : Donna del Lago was faster than Patty, turned twice and killed. Little Lina and Con- tented Meg : The former led, turned twice, and raced round Meg, who only made a couple of points in the middle of the course, Little Lina taking the hare away to cover.— The Brigmerston Stakes : September, in a good course, gained the fiat over Jack- son, and Soapstone, after an undecided course, was much faster than Antelope, winning throughout a fair trial.— The Amesbury Stakes: Shadow was too quick and clever for little? eepo'Day, who, however, ran a good second. Jewel had no difficulty in beating Ghillie Galium, whose performance is anything but promising. The Bed House Stakes : Locus Standi secured the run up arid first turn, but fell, through which Floorer got to work, and being re- markably clever for an old'un, with her game, won decisively. Israelite's course withHeroine, which was well won by the former, brought another glorious day's sport to a conclusion. As will be seen, several of the cracks went down in Syringa, Crimson Spark, Revoke and Infanta, which were all thought good things, it was not expected that Libna could have come out so fresh after the gruelling she had in her bve which she ran over the worst part of Beacon Hill, and was, without exception, the longest course of the day. The fine weather again brought out a numerous field, including many ladies, who appeared heartily to participate in the sport. SATUEDAY.— We met at the clump of firs on the top of Tanner's Down at 9: 30, the programme of the day commencing with the fourth ties for the Challenge Cup— Sapphire and Imperatrice: Sapphire was unable to shake off the injuries she had received in her trial with Retribution, as she evidently went off very stiff, and had to contend with a greyhound of superior pace, Imperatrice went off with the lead, taking the hare to herself for three or four points, Sapphire making two or three dashing attempts to kill, but the result would have been fatal to her chance of success. Perseverance went away from Ingoldsby five lengths to the hare, and kept possession of her game for as many points, when she began to hang fire and allowed Ingoldsby to go on ( who ran well con- sidering the pumping he had the day before) and fully balance the points, when Perseverance again put on the steam, gave a racing go- by and killed, evidently winning by the latter points she made— The Beacon Hill Stakes ( second ties): The long course Berengaria had the day before, compared with the short one Leah went through, compelled her to succumb to the latter. Belle of the Season ran a bye.— The Bulford Stakes ( second ties) : Luke, notwithstanding having to contend with two purlers, very de- cisively beat Lighterman in a good spin. Landgrave had a long bye, which put- his chance of the stake out— The Great Western Cup ( deciding course): Bindweed and Huncamunca: The former led three lengths, and scored thefourfirstpoints, Huncamunca then gave a go- by, wiped off her opponent's score, and placed two to her credit; when rising the hilt Bindweed again resumed the lead and kept it out of our sight, but I learnt afterwards Huncamunca again resolutely worked her hare down to the cover below Tanner's Down, winning very gamely. — The Druids' Cup ( deciding course): Oliver Cromwell got best from slips, but in the race up Sackbut went clear by, and reached his game three lengths in advance, turned twice, put in a couple of strong wrenches, when Oliver Cromwell shot up inside and killed. The Ladies' Plate was divided between Mr W. Long's Libna and Mr Smith's Snowflake.— The Stonehenge Stakes ( deciding eourse): Little Lina went off with the lead; in making a rush at her game she let in Donna del Lago, who took the hare for a short distance until Lina went past her, turned, and served herself twice; Donna del Lago then went up. and resolutely laying her- self down to work, won a long course very decisively, giving several racing go- byes when rising the hill for the firs on the top of Tanner's Down.— The Brigmerston Stakes ( deciding course): Soapstone was more speedy than September, to whom when in a good position the former gave a clear go- by and killed.— The Amesbury Stakes ( deciding course): Shadow and Jewel: The latter was unsighted from slips, but when toge- ther Shadow _ proved by far the faster and more clever animal ing very Cromwell, by superior speed, and being at home on the Downs, his working abilities were displayed to advantage in every course he ran. I bfelieve in his trial before the meeting he was not. con- sidered as good& s some of his kennel companions, but public form convinces ree he is the prince of the Croxteth kennel ( of puppies). Oliver Cromwell ran well, and fully carried out the opinion ex- pressed to us by his owner some months previous to the meeting, but his running I did not admire; the rushes he occasionally gives, and then slackens in speed, will prevent him running through a large stake. Libnah, who divided the Ladies' Plate with Snowilake.' iri by David out of the dam of Endurance, and weighs 47ib; for staying powers or cleverness she cannot be surpassed, and had she run off the deciding course it was the opinion of numbers present she would havecertainly beaten Snowflake, whois by Can tab out'of Enna, and weighs about 50tb. She is from the Durnford kennel, which has produced many public winners, including Swallow, Editha, Enna, Ebbersfone, & c. The Challenge Cup was won by Imp6ratrice, another daughter of David's, out of Java. 8he weighs oljlb. She ran all her courses remarkably well, although her first was very short, being merely a run up and kill, when she was closely attended by Donna del Lago, who after- wards won the Stonehenge Stakes. Perseverance, who ran up for the Challenge Cup, is very quick, and gets early to work, but the severe running she had when a sapling and puppy, has caused her to deviate some little from the line of her hare" after having done her best to kilt. Bowfell, Sapphire, and Infanta were unfortunate in meeting with accidents " and long courses, other- wise we might have seen them nearer the finish of the stake. A proposition was made during the meeting that sixteen of the nominations for the Ladies' Plate and six- teen for the Challenge Cup should be granted to the members of the Altcar Club to form a match against the world, which will be looked forward to with much interest. Mr Warwick has been elected judge, and Raper slipper, for tiie meeting in 1864, a proof sufficiently gratifying to themselves of their abilities being appreciated. Mr Warwick was capitally horsed by Mr Symonds, of Oxford, which enabled him to ride well up with his dogs and give his decisions accurately. ASHDOWN. BALD0CK CLU3 KEETING- OCT 23 & 29.

Mohican beat Major Munro ran a bye which, with a tankard of his homebrewed, proved very acceptable on the bleak fields of Wallington. It is seldom we have seen better coursing at Baldock ; the ground never was in better con- dition for running, being principally seeds, not a single course being run upon fallows. Owing to the diligent care of Messrs Smyth and Eaynor's keepers, hares are again plentiful. It will be remembered, about two years ago the nightly marauders carried off nearly every head of furred game. At the Open Champion Meeting, which will take place on the 16th, 17th, and 18th of December, there will be two thirty- two dog stakes for all ages, one of £ 5 each, with a bracelet added by sub- scription, of the value of £ 30, and one of £ 3 10s each, full particu- lars of which will be given by advertisement in our columns at an early period. In conclusion,! may add the meeting passed off very amicably, both judge arid slipper getting through their duties to the satisfaction of losers as well as winners. A3HDO WIT.

The Baldock Club ( which is also included in the metropolitan clubs) held their first meeting on Wednesday and Thursday, Oct 28 and 29, and taking in consideration the close proximity of the Cardington Club meeting, which takes place on Tuesday next, and includes many of the members of the former club, a goodly number of the puppies entered for the Derby and Oaks came to slips. The draw, which took place at the White Horse Hotel, preceding the customary oyster supper, on Tuesday evening, was not numerously patronised, the attendance of members being un- usually slack. The programme, however, promised a good day's sport, of which the following are details:— WEDNESDAY morning we met at Bygrave House at 11 a. m., and previously to entering the field the coursers present were invited to a cold collation by the president of the club, Mr J. Smyth, many accepting his hospitality. At 11: 40 a m. the sport commenced with the Derby. Clifden and Moor- hawk : The former led four lengths, turned, and attempted to kill, when Moorhawk went past, brought the hare again to Clifden, who wrenched twice and killed. Icarus, in a good slip, raced away two lengths in advance to his game, turned, and let in Trollop, who merely led to cover. Wild Wave, on the in- side ground, outpaced Director to a racing hare, which they did but little with before it escaped into Bygrave Wood. Munro and Longfellow ran very evenly for some distance, when Munro drew out, and gained first turn; a couple of exchanges followed, when Munro killed. Trimmer led from slips, butMajor soon went by him, turned, and let in the former, who went on with a strong lead; Major, however, drew up, and well won two- thirds of the trial. Mohican ran a bye.— The Oaks: Scottish Queen and Landgravine ran an undecided. In their second attempt Langravine led, but the hare bore round to Scottish Queen, who put in several driving wrenches, when Langravine went past and worked her game to the brow of the hill, where Scottish Queen returned the go- by, and led out of my sight. A fine race up was but " just won by Woskey, who was also slightly faster on outside ground and throughout to cover more clever than Secret. 1 Fiy outpaced Magpie. Diligent and Io : The latter, on outside ground, got first up by two lengths, scored three strong wrenches, when Diligent got to the front; Io, in drawing up again, stumbled, through whicli Diligent increased her lead, but before reaching cover lo gave her opponent a clever go- by, and won well. Delight was fifteen lengths faster than May Fly, who ran very indifferently, and Laura easily defeated Comic Song. Skewbald was much faster than Tipiady, who, when a chance offered, appeared not to do her best.— The Cup : Strathmore won all the early points until he began to tire, when Black Gipsy went on, and was fast rubbing off the score when the hare " got to cover. My Lady was six lengths faster than Twinkle, who never made a point of merit throughout a good trial. Cottager well beat Canzanetta, and Happy Girl was much favoured by the circuitous running of the hare, by which she gained an easy victory. Lucco- rino led Imposture from slips, but the latter once in possession of the hare never left it until near the cover side, when Luccorino got in, but did but little before the hare escaped. Impetus outpaced Mendicant, and scored a number of points ere the latter got in, who instantly killed, and destroyed whatever chance of success she might have had.— The Derby ( first ties) : After one undecided ; Clifden never made a point in fair trial with Icarus, and Munro, in a similar course, put out Wild Wave. Mohican and Major did but little with a good hare, the former gaining the fiat.— The Oaks ( first ties) : Landgravine never gave an opening to Woskey, winning from end to end. I Fly was faster and by far more clever than Delight, and won a pretty trial very cleverly. Laura led Io, and scored the two first turns, when the latter got in, who wrenched to cover. Skewbald ran a bye with a puppy by Tempest; the latter was victorious.— The Cup ( first ties): Strathmore went off with a strong lead, and scored seren or eight points in succession, when he cut it. My Lady went to work, and had near outcounted his lordship when she killed. Happy Girl gained the early points of a good trial; Cottager then rubbed them off, and won with some to spare. Imposture and Merry Lass ran an undecided, when the latter was drawn. Im- petus ran a bye, which finished the card of the day. The dinner at the White Horse Hotel was well attended, Mr Smyth presid- ing, Mr Myonett taking the vice- chair. After the cloth was drawn the president proposed the usual loyal toasts, and the entry for the second day was proceeded with." The Consolation, Wai- lington Field, Mettle Hill, and Lemon Hill Stakes of four dogs each were made up, the evening afterwardsbeingspent convivially. THURSDAY.— We met at the White Horse Hotel, and at 10: 40 proceeded to Wallington Field, where the trials are invariably severe— the first course fully demonstrating the stoutness of the hares on this portion of the estate. The first spin of the day was for the second ties of the Derby. Icarus and Mohican: Icarus, on the inside ground, gained first and second turns; Mohican, evidently the faster, then gave a clear go- by, and worked his hare to the railway, where Icarus got the hare on one side of the fence, Mohican going on on the other side; when the hare broke away for Mr Steele's be b Sweppe, by Seagull out of Sourocks. beat Mr Bracken- ridge ns bk b Bridesmaid, by Forrester o ; t of Meg, and won.

Bowness, in an unfortunate slip to a circling hare, made first turn, Meg next two and the finish out of my sight, Bowness win- ning. Brisk led Lightning, and made first turn ; remainder of course out of sight.. We now began the Emont Bridge Stakes with Reveller ar. d Fly. The latter seemed to lead, but at the distance the field were from them it was impossible to be sure, and nothing more was seen. Sweppe led Kingfisher, and making first turn served him, Kingfisher next, and Sweppe making a dash at her hare she escaped through a meuse, leaving her a win- ner in a very short time. Ail but the few who were with the beaters got thrown out, through shifting ground, and I saw no- thing of the course with Cut ttnd Dry and Badger. Haphazard had all the best of the work with Banavie, and won a cleverly- run course, in which the dog exchanged a few points towards the middle. Gentle 8hepherd running fastest and strongest through- out a fine trial with Kathleen Nicholson, easily defeated her. and finished his course with a dashing kill, Silly Lizzie did not belie her name, running very soft till Bridesmaid got disappointed, when she put in a few points, but the Maid coming again, worked her hare to a stack yard, where the course ended ; following her game through, she had a long single- handed run. Brightness was un- sighted from slips, and Courier Boy had to follow his occupation alone; on being put in he proved himself much the better of the two, and beat Brightness handsomely.— Brougham Cup : Kitty Nicholson led from slips, turned, and served herself. Harvest Home putting on a spurt rushed past, and got second, but imme- diately compounding had no further chance, leaving Kitty to win as she liked. Lucy Bright led Bessie Grahame, and had ail the early part of the course, till striking at her hare, she came to her shoulder, and Bessie getting placed on a nice slope, drove her hare out of my view. Kitchen Maid led from slips, and the hare fa- vouring her, she turned twice, and picked her up. Crown Prince took a good lead from Ben, and being full of running, knocked his hare about in fine style, never letting the latter in for a mo- ment to assist him in one of the strongest run courses of the day. Barrier and Bongate Beauty both worked a little wide at first, till Barrier got or. the line of his hare, and wrenching strongly, finished with a kilL A fine slip was succeeded by a beautiful trial of pace between Black Ball and Mayflower, gained by the former, who served himself and led outof my vi,. w. Tainar led Blooming Daisy, and made first and second turn-., Daisy third, putting in Tamar, who ricked her hare, and the Daisy shot past, turned, and again served Tamar, who viciously struck at her game and rolled over. Blooming Daisy n » w went away with the lead, and won a good trial, with a point to spare, w hich, however, might have been reversed had Tamar not been too eager on her prey. Gambler and Start Up had a no- course in next trial. Gambler led from slips out of my view; on coming back he was still in, but the bitch working closer, snatched the decision from him. finished an excellent day's eour.-. ing, to which there was no dnK^ back but the unfortunate state of the weather; hares were abundant, and with few exceptions ran well. Judging and slip- ping were everything that the most fastidious could desire, and the attention of the stewards to tlu. ir duties was gratifying. I shall send you concluding remarks next week.— Yours, &" c, _______________ MAID A. LTTCGAN OPEN MEETING- OCT 22 & 23. Stewards : Lord Lurgan, SirC. Molyneux, M. Archdall, M.

Familiar as I had long been with its scenery through those gifted spirits who have breathed a charm over the native grandeur & f Westmoreland and Cumberland, the opportunity of personal acquaintance had hitherto denied itself. Often had I mentally promised a vacation tour, but, alas ! " The best laid schemes o' men and mice Gang aft a- gley." And ever as the season came round the calls of friendship or the claims of duty led my footsteps elsewhere. Now, however, thanks to your kind invitation, an opportunity offers of combining business with pleasure, and I have gladly accepted ; but as it is the business portion of my trip you are most particular about, and as your columns are pretty sure tobewell filled this week, you will allow me to pull up at Penrith, and wend my way to the quaint, quiet, but comfortable village of Eamont Bridge. Crossing the bridge, which seems to have been built before the full value of the skew for such structures was known, we enter Westmoreland, previous to which we are greeted by a sign- post representing a son of the plough with extended hand giving hearty welcome to a brawny Highlander. This naturally calls up reflections on the humanising influence of time three centuries ago, and tlie- e worthies would have had four feet of steel between them, and not till one or other had been bereft of power to wield the brand would the welcome have been complete. Entering the parlour of the hotel, I received both occular and auricular demon- stration that a feud was again proclaimed on both sides the border, but this time it was one of peaceful rivalry, not to be followed by reiving the flocks or cutting the throats of each other. There was every evidence of a successful meeting. The Cup I learned had filled, as also theWhinfell Stakes, the Eamort Bridge Stakes alone being short a brace, and as there seemed no hope of completing it we adjourned to the tennis court behind the hotel, where a bounti- ful feast in which the substantial, more than the elegancies, of dining, awaited us. The chair was occupied by Mr Cunningham, who, on the removal of the cloth, gave the customary loyal toasts. The draw was then proceeded with. Mr Brougham on entering being received with a round of applause, a compliment which was renewed when, on his withdrawal, Mr Irving, in a few neat and well chosen sentences craved a bumper to his health. The ceremony of reading the list was gone. through, but it was " muckle cry and little woo," owners in many cases even declin- ing to lay the customary sov. For the Cup, Barrier and Blooming Daisy were the favourites, G to 4 being betted on their respective courses. The Wliinfell Stakes seemed to be looked on as a gift to Mr Irving, nothing less than 50 to 20 being considered worth booking. The Eamont Bridge Stakes betting may be written nil. On Thursday morning we met at Brougham Hall, a fineoldpile of building, surrounded by high and strong walls, with massive iron- studded gates, giving one a vivid idea of an ancient border keep. The morning was lowering, but held up till about eleven o'clock, when it came on to rain and blow, continuing throughout the day with slight intermission, and rendering the task of note- taking a most difficult one. There was a large iield of spectators, and a lively interest seemed to be taken in the sport, despite the unpropitious circumstances under which it was conducted. We began in a stubble field on the farm of Hospital, with the Whin- fell Stakes. Skedaddler and Biilberga: The former for a moment seemed to lead, but the bitch, rushing past, brought round her hare, and keeping it, led to a fence, where it was lost; Skedaddler did not run like the greyhound I saw at the Scottish National, and I was not surprised to learn afterwards that he had had a severe trial course last week, in which lie injured himself. Wan- dering Minstrel got best away from slips, and keeping what he got, turned thrice, putting in Lucy, who led to turnips. Ben Lomond led Bob Chambers from slips arid turned, putting in Bob, whostruckathishareand slipped up. letting Ben Lomond increase his score by another point. Bob then came with a rush, and making a cross dash at his hare missed, and Puss getting among the crowd was picked up by Ben Lomond. Waterloo and Gaiety had a long turn in slips without finding a hare ; when, however, she was got she proved a good one. Gaiety showed from slips, but Waterloo putting on the steam raced past, and taking his hare, turned three times, going out of sight for a momentthe bitch reappeared leading, and a well- contested course ensued, finished by the bitch picking up her hare from the dog's turn. Lamplighter led My Mary, but had afterwards little share in a beautiful trial, won " all the way by My Mary, who showed much of old Cardinal York's determined style of running. Mi' Thom- son and Mr Steele's nominations being unrepresented, Gentle Kittie and Bonnie Venture ran their byes together, the latter proving the better of the two. Boomerang led Winning Lass, but guarding his hare, the latter shot past and snatched first turn from him ; making it wide, however, the dog got in, and easily defeated her. Cheat ' em had the heels of Geography ( who ran untrained, being put in to fill up for an absentee), and took the early and the latter part of a fine trial, Geography cleverly ex- changing a few points in the middle Industry lei Gipsy Queen to a weak hare, and striking viciously turned, but rolled over; the Queen wrenched and killed— no- go. Their next trial was a beautiful stretch to the hare, first gained by Industry, who, getting best through a fence, rapidly ran up a score before the Queen got in, when she cleverly exchanged a few points, and finished a smart- run course with a good kill. Graceful easily disposed of Country Lass in a short course to a wretched bad hare, which could not break away. Elfin King showed the way, and made first turn with Kate Nicholson, but missing his stride, the bitch shot past and drove her hare nicely to a fence, where she killed. Pendragon had a very long and splendidly- contested no- go with Meg, the dog running fastest at first, but being out- staved by the bitch. In their next trial Pendragon led a couple of lengths, turned, and put in Meg, who made the second, Pen dragon third, and Meg, getting away, wrenched and killed, just winninganear trial. Lowther and Bowness had a short no- course. On being put in again, Bowness, by favour, led to a fence, which Evening Corah Hill beat Carabradzo l> adv Java beat Cinoloa Billy- beat Storekeeper Corah Hill beat Crazy Jane Lady Java beat Billy Lady Java beat Corah Hill Pioneer beat Wee Nell Hawthorn beat Romance Laurel Hill beat.

The last half- dozen courses were run on a the hare, and killed. Impetus gained first turn, wrenched fine flat, the hares being beat from rough pasture. We now had a few courses from turnips. Lightning led, and beat Marquis in an unsatisfactory dodging trial run to cover.— First ties: Billberga took a strong lead from Wandering Minstrel, and guarding her hare like a good one as she is, picked it up when attempting to take the fence. Waterloo led Ben Lomond, and getting best through a fence, easily defeated him. We now changed our beat to Clifton Dykes, going along about half a mile of one of the worst country roads I ever saw; the celebrated mud highway from rously patronised by owners) we have witnessed over the Ames- bury plains. Owing to the great pressure on our columns, I am com- pelled to condense my remarks upon this very successful week's sport.

Before being taken very fast m his first course), Xenophon, gtockbndge, and Oliverpiacekjndiy inyjt- 4 the coursers prmmt to partake of luncheon up I understand she had a pretty severe single- handed course. MB EDITOR : Knowing that your columns are always available for all legitimate sporting intelligence, I enclose a marked card, together with some notes of each course as it appeared to be run at the late Lurgan Open Meeting, now one of the most popular gatherings in this country, and deservedly so, for the coursing ground is good, game abundant, and trials in general long enough to satisfy the stoutest greyhound. I was not, therefore, surprised on entering the coffee- room at the Brownlow Arms Hotel, Lurgan, on Wednesday evening to find a strong muster of coursers of the right sort; and, punctually to the appointed hour, the draw com- menced, and was got through without the slightest hitch or mss- take. After dinner some spirited betting took place. Coodarina and Shrapnell starting first favourites for Stakes and Cup. THUBSDAY.— Commencing punctually at ten o'clock the first brace for the Baughlan Puppy Stakes, Shrapnel! ( the winner of the Clermont Cup at the late County Louth Club Meet- ing) and Master Robert appeared in the slips. Master Bobert showed in front from slips, but the hare bending round, Shrap- nett, on the inside, went in, turned, ' raced past, and won a fair course in clever style, Blacklieart, backed freely at 2 to I, led from slips ; nearing hare Queen's Counsel shot past, turned; Blackheart served, and getting possession of the hare, admitted' of no assistance from his " learned friend" in remainder of an average course. Each freely backed, at evens: Nell got some half dozen lengths in advance from slips, hut in a straight stretch Annie shot by, turned twice, letting in the white. After a couple of exchanges, had remainder of course all to herself, save the end, when Nell " coming" made some good points, but Annie left off a clever winner. The course with Glencairn Burns was all one way, in favour of Crocco. Atalanta and Fair Head went from slips very closely, the bitch just taking first turn ; the dog serv- ing, Atalanta made a number of good points, Fair Head on the in- side seeming to go by twice, but only did " that and nothing more" in a severe course. Master Hey wood showed most pace, scoringfirst and second turns, Bessie then'joining, there was some give- and- take work, when the dog setting- to won well. Field Marshal went to hare some half score lengths in advance, turned twice; Gazenia served, and after an exchange, F. M. turning very wide, the bitch getting in, worked very closely, and was rapidly wiping out the score, when the hare ' breaking away Field Marshal raced out, turned, wrenched, and driving the hare through a fence, the course ended. Blackbird just obtained first turn, Matchbox the second, Blackbird the third. The earlier portion, of course, was in favour of the black, but towards the end the red, " slow to fire," warmed up and won a good trial well, but very little to Spave.— Crown low Cup : Crazy Jane led some half score lengths, turned ; Sergeant- Major served ; the bitch then turned, wrenched, and after an exchange shot out, finishing a well won course with a splendid kill. Star of the Evening scored first half dozen points, the hare breaking away. In a long stretch Glenstall was just about going by, when, blundering at a drain, the Star got on hare, and had much the best of remainder of course. With 2 to I on Carabradzo Borealis showed most pace, scoring first and second turns; the blue then served, the red wrenched and turned ; Cara- bradzo then getting possession of hare drove her about in clever style, scarcely allowing an opening to the red, who much the fastest was outworked by the Bcotch dog in a good course. Corah Hill and Silk Gown had a " no go," through Corah Hill getting away from slips. In deciding course Corah Hill, though he just won, did not at all justify the odds of 5 to 4 so freely laid and offered by his friends. Lady Java went a cracker from slips, and ran into the hare. Cinoloa was too fast and too good for Master Castor all through a good course. Storekeeper easily disposed of Whitehat. Dervock got first from slips, but Billy went by, and making nine points in quick succession, settled the chances of the old dog, who ran well " considerin'. " Pioneer made every point in a short course, save a kill of but moderate merit. Wee Nell going well from slips, scored seven points in quick succession, picked up, but " letting go" had another " spurt," but gamely " throwing up" her hare, won a hollow course in gallant style. Hawthorn just led Derry Boy, and won well a moderately long course. Romance scored first turn, Welter the next, and through remainder of a good course the black received but small assistance from the red, who did not seem to be " i' the vein." Caractacus, displaying great pace, won a good course at all points. Laurel Hill, freely backed at 3 to 2, dis- played immense pace, and won the fastest- run course of the meeting in magnificent style. With 3 to 1 on Coodarina, she fully justified the odds and won a good course at all points. Her level style of going and clever, close working pleased me very much, and admitted of scarcely any assistance from Artillery, a young fresh puppy of much promise. Glen Dhu unexpectedly bowled over Mr Borron's crack in a good course. The hares being very abundant, and the ground judiciously beaten, the card was satisfactorily run down before twelve o'clock, when an adjourn- ment of an hour for lunch took place; after which, leaving the Raughlan Meadows for deciding courses on the morrow, the venue was changed to " the Island"— or, more correctly speaking, a peninsula of some two hundred acres, well stocked with hare. Here, from the unsoundness of the ground, the coursing was nofc so satisfactory as it had been in the earlier portion of the day. However, the trials, save one exception, were sufficient to test the merits of the dogs, though, of course, owners will indulge in " ifs and ans."— First round of Raughlan Stakes: Shrapnell, slow out of slips, in the straight went past Blackheart and scored a meri- torious kill. Crocco led a cracker from slips, and never gave tht i; " shadow of a chance'' to Annie in a fair good course. Master Ken- wood led well, turned some half dozen times, and never let in Atalanta till just towards the close, when she wrenched and effected a clever kill. Field Marshal went very fast to hare, j turned twice, stumbled, went on and scored next two turns; the j red then went in, turned, wrenched, and made a fair kill of merit. — First round of Brownlow Cup: Star of the Evening and Crazy I Jane had two undecideds, in the first of which Crazy Jane, ! blundering on leaving slips, Star went, well in advance, turned, i both going on even terms, Crazy Jane just showed in front, and, I making a drive, effected a clever kill. Next essay, they went i together for some fifty yards, when Crazy Jane, hesitating at a j " slough,'' Star went in, turned, and the white wrenched and i killed. In the deciding course Star just appeared in front, from ; out of slips ; the white drew out, wrenched, and killed. Corah ; Hill, a length in advance, turned, Carabradzo wrenched and killed— undecided. In the next Corah again showed in front, I but the hare bending to Carabradzo, he went in, turned, Corah 1 wrenched and, making a vicious drive, wrenched and killed.. Lady Java merely got clear of Cinoloa, and picked up a weak hare. Storekeeper and Billy went head and head from slips for some three hundred yards. Going round the crowd I tost sight of course but am told that Billy just won. Pioneer and Wee Nell met, for the island, a racing hare, the dog slightly the fastest. Wee Nell blundered at the " sloughs." The Wee- un's close working powers I did not avail her on the dead level against the superior strength i and speed of the dark- un, Pioneer. Hawthorn, in a course which I did not see, beat Romance. LaurelHill led, turned twice, each time favoured by hare ; Caractacus then " set to," but after a moment the white again " coming," raced out, and working much closer than the fawn, who, on the inside, went bv twice, cleverly counted out Caractacas, probably the fastest dog of the meeting. Cooda- rina went fast to hare, turned, wrenched, putting in Glen Dhu, who served, and, after an exchange, the " bitch drove her hare round to Glen Dhu, who extinguished Iier chance by killing too BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, OCTOBER 31, 18G3. soon. This ended, before four o'clock, a most satisfactory and pleasant day's coursing. On Friday morning a dense fog shrouded the country as we drove out from Lurgan, but " lifting up" now and then, hopes were entertained that towards noon we might be enabled to com- mence coursing, and whilst waiting " with patient expectation'' for the misty curtain to rise, impromptu games were set afoot with which the crowd assembled were fain to while away the time, and at last to " raise the wind'' an enterprising speculator set up his Aunt Bally in the shape of a champagne bottle— empty — 6d per throw, six throws for half- a- crown, and ere an adjourn- ment was made a number of victims were entrapped tmd " done" to the no small amusement of their friends. During the day a meeting of the North Union Coursing Club was held, and letters were read by the chairman from Lord Massereene intimating that he wished the club to course in his park as heretofore. Accord- ingly a meeting was fixed for the middle of December when the stakes will be run for— one open, the other for members only. A resolution was placed on the books thanking Lord Massereene for his kindness in granting the use of the park to North Union Club members, a privilege which they enjoyed for so many years under the presidency of the late much lamented viscount. Saturday morning was mild and genial, and the early hour of nine o'clock was considerately made the fixture, to enable the lovers of the leash to get away by the midday trains: commencing the second round of the Rau « hlan Stakes, with 3 to 2 offered, and 2 to 1 laid by some on Shrapnell. She was led to hare by Crocco, who, to the surprise of the knowing ones, completely out- paced and outworked the rough- un in a good course. After a " no- go" which I did not see, Master Heywood showed in advance from out of slips, but in a long stretch Field Marshal raced out and turned, both dogs falling into a drain, out of which Master Heywood first emerged, and did some good close work. The judge's horse making a mistake Mr Westropp came a " cropper," but quickly recovering his fretsaw remainder of course; unde- cided. In the deciding course Master Heywood again went first from slips, but in a nice stretch the immense pace of Field Mar- shal displayed itself to advantage, scoring for him first and second turns, and enabling him to save best points all through the severest coarse of the meeting. Deciding course: Field Marshal came to slips very stiff half an hour after his last awfully severe course. Crocco, very fresh, scored the first half- dozen points. Field Mar- shal then going, made a few exchanges, but being " pumped out," could not do much, Crocco winning a capital trial with plenty to spare.— Second round of BrownlowCup: 3 to 2 on Corah Hill. The dog showed most pace and, working closely, won a fair course " lever stvle. Lady Java scored first turn and fell; Billy V, aud wrenched, letting in the bitch, who made next point, and after a scrambling exchange the hare was " chopped" between them in the rushes. Next came a most interesting course between Hawthorn and Pioneer, both freely backed at evens by their respective partisans. Hawthorn led well from slips, taking first three turns in clever style. The dog then did some close good work, but the bitch would not be denied, and cleverly won a good trial. 5 to 4 on Coodarina. Laurel Hill just showed in front for about one hundred yards. Coodarina then, on the outside, went by, turned ; the white then wrenched three times, and the blue, coming again, wrenched, and killed, proving herself a very supe- rior greyhound. Java and Corah Hill: Java went first to hare, turned, wrenched, and wrenching again strongly, Corah Hill eame in and scored next turn, wrenched, turned ; after an ex- change the bitch rushed out, wrenched, and making a determined drive on side of drain scored a splendid kill. With a long slip Coodarina raced fast to hare, Hawthorn getting a purler ; the Scotch bitch turned, served herself, " went by for third turn ; Haw- thorn then wrenched three times in front of crowd and fell, Coo- darina going by and making a splendid kill. During the interval of half an hour before deciding course Lord Lurgan, liberally re- linquishing his chance of the Brownlow Cup, gave it to Mr Ivie Campbell, whose presence on the ground was welcomed by many of his old " Waterloo" friends, and whose unaffected bonfwmmie made him almost as great a favourite as Coodarina.— Deciding course : 2 to 1 on Coodarina. A splendid slip. Coodarina swerved in front, but the hare bending to the left, Lady Java, on the inside, rushed out, turned, served herself ; after an exchange Lady Java, on the inside, blundered and presented an opening, of which I am surprised the blue did not avail herself; quickly recovering, Lady Java again turned, putting in Coodarina, who " set to," turned, and in a nice stretch along far side of the drain, raced past Lady Java, making a drive at hare turned, but missed killing. Lady Javathen turned, wrenched, and killed, winning a good course in splendid style The cheers which greeted the success of Lord Lurgan, re- newed again and again, told plainly of his lordship's poularity " at home," and were cordially joined in by the strangers, who evinced thereby their appreciation of his lordship's exertions to show good sport and secure a good triaL REMABKS.— The attendance was large and most respectable, particularly on the first day, and included representatives from every coursing club in Irsiand. Lady Java, the winner, a brin- bled bitch of good size and power, 541b weight, is both fast and elever. It is needless for me to describe Coodarina, but If she maintains her form she will be dangerous for the Waterloo. Corah Hill and Laurel Hill are both good greyhounds, but my pick of the Lownsdale lot would be Field Marshal, who, if re- served for the Waterloo, I have no doubt will do credit to " ould Ireland" on the Altcar plains. Mr Westropp and Tait officiated here for the first time, and played their parts well, and it must be a great satisfaction to all lovers of the leash that they have found two such worthy successors to Mr Walker and Bpringall, who have both resigned and who earned their distinc- tion on many a coursing field : and though out of sight they will not be out of mind, for the highest feelings of respect and best wishes for their happiness are entertained for them by all our Irish coursers.

By the kind permission of the Earl of Lonsdale, the White- haven Coursing Club was enabled to run on the 27th and 28th inst. The draw took place at the Turk's Head, where a very excellent dinner was provided, immediately after which the dogs were drawn, the most money invested being on the course between Detector and Little John. We met at the Hensing- ham tollgate, and commenced with Coquette and Mary March- mont. The latter, in a long slip, drew several lengths ahead, and admitted of no assistance from Coquette. Under Thumb led three erfour lengths, turned, served himself; the red and white then making a point or two, but was unable to wipe out the other's score. Hammeranter had all his own way with Merry Maid in a good trial. Little John, through favour,' gained first turn; they then exchanged points pretty evenly, when Detector got possession, would not be denied, and won a good trial easily, running very fast and clever. Duke admitted of no assistance from Rollicking Lass in a nice course. Good Idea led Dangerous five lengths, but stumbling at the first turn, let in the red ; but he again got pos- session, and never left the course in doubt, winning cleverly. Belle of the Castle and Macaroni ran an undecided, when the latter was drawn. Gwalior and Master Tom— two very bad ones; the latter led from slips, but becoming unsighted, was passed by Gwalior. before reaching the hare; both afterwards working • wild, in a good trial, Master Tom eventually winning. Bwesdale had all his own way with Eomping Boy, winning a good trial cleverly. The most of the course between Jura and Legerdemain was out of my view, but I am given to understand that the latter won a good trial cleverly.— Puppy Stakes : Dinah and Gin ran an undecided. In the next trial the former led, and a give and take course ensued, the hare continually bending from Dinah, who made some close points, but Gin outworked her in the latter part of the course, and just gained the judge's decision, Whitehaven Lass had all the early and latter points in a good trial, Merry Bird doing some nice work in the middle, bur, not sufficient to wipe oft the other's score. Betsy and Defence ran an undecided. In the next slip Defence led on the inside, but was passed before reaching the hare, and never allowed a point. Leonora raced away from Doubtful, put him in, went past, and won as she liked.— Cup ( se- cond ties) : Mary Marchmont, on the inside, led a clear length ; the white colour then rushed at his hare, but missing, was thrown a good deal; the black, sticking well by her game, won an ea* y trial cleverly. Hammeranter and Detector ran an undecided, but in the next slip Detector never left the course in doubt, putting in the red, and racing past him just as if he was standing still, winning a long course at all points. Master Tom being drawn, Belle of the Castle ran a bye. Good Idea took first turn froin Duke, but was never able to compete with him afterwards, Duke winning just as he liked, finishing a good course with a kill close to the covert. Ewesdale and Legerdemain ran an undecided. WEDNESDAY.— Commenced to- day about three miles from Whitehaven with Betsy and Leonora. They ran two undecided courses, but at the third time of asking Betsy led about a clear length, and had all her own way, finishing a smart- run course with a good kill.— Cup: Ewesdale made short work of Legerde- main, the latter running stiff, having injured his leg in the uude- cided the night previous.— Cup ( third ties): Detector had all his own way with Mary Marchmont, running both a fast and clever greyhound— in fact, in a good trial never allowing the black a point, except the kill, of no merit. Duke and Belle of the Castle ran an undecided, which might have been decided in favour of Duke, who, I think, won with a few points to spare; but in tbe next time of asking he completely put it out of doubt, win- ning well, particularly in fencing, in which the bitch had no chance with him. Captain Dees thus having three left in, declared Duke the winner, and thus became in possession of the White- haven Challenge Cup, which I hope he may keep.— Puppy Stakes: Whitehaven Lass well won the Puppy Stakes, the other bitch being rather hard run. REMAKES.— This meeting, which concluded on Wednesday, was not as well attended as " formerly. Hares were scarce, so that it prolonged the meeting longer than was expected. I am glad that Captain Dees should be successful in carrying off the Cup, as he is a staunch supporter of greyhound coursing. He ran three good dogs in the Cup, and pulled it off easily ; if it had not been for him the Whitehaven Club Meeting might have gone down, he running six out, of the twenty- eight. Mr Dalzell as judge ac- quitted himself very creditably, giving his decisions promptly. I think he might have given Duke the undecided course with Belle of the Castle, the black running the line of his hare; but upon the whole I think he gave every satisfaction. Frears as slipper did very well, but wants a little more practice. NEMO. HESKETH BANK ( OPEN) MEETING— OCT 28 & 29. ( Between Southport and Preston.) Stewards: Messrs Jones, J.

ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB. CLOSING TRIP.— The closing trip of this club was held on Saturday, Oct 24, at the Union Yacht Club House, Gravesend, in- stead of the Pier Hotel, Erith, the Union having originally been the Clifton Hotel, next to the Baths, and now fitted up by the new company in order to give the yachtsmen of the Thames and from other ports a universal club- house, such as is enjoyed by the clubs round the coast. The party on this occasion numbered over 40, and was presided over by Mr H. F. Smith, the Vice- Commo- dore, Mr Alexander Crosley, the cup bearer, occupying the vice- chair. After the loyal and patriotic toasts the chairman gave " Prosperity to the Royal London Yacht Club" in a few sentences, in the course of which he dwelt upon their having started the in- teresting race among yachts in their usual sea- going trim.— Mr Kudge then'gave " The Health of MrAreedeckne," theSCommodore, who lie said was now in Italy. They could not have found a man whose heart was more with them, and he was sure they would heartily join with him in drinking his health.— Mr G. Harrison, the Rear- Commodore, next proposed " The other Yacht Clubs of the United Kingdom." He had been all over England, and his impression was that a more kindly disposed set of men never existed than yachtsmen. He had found this particularly in the Royal Irish, and, in fact, had never gone among yachtsmen with- out experiencing the utmost kindness. He was most pleased to see the good feeling at present existing among all the clubs, and hoped tae Royal London would ever foster and encourage it by every means in their power.— Mr Morice, Vice- Commodore of the Royal Harwich Yacht Club, and a member of the Royal Thames, in reply reciprocated the kind expressions which had fallen froin Mr Harrison, dwelt upon the fact of the Commodore having once held office in the Royal Harwich, and of the kind reception they had always met with at the hands of the Royal London. He hoped that they might ever work together in furtherance of the one common object The next toast was " The Health of the Vice- Commodore,'' given by Mr Alexander Crosley. They all knew, he said, that he was an influen- tial yachting man, who supported the yachting interest on the Thames; they would all remember that he came forward and con- sented to become their second officer at a time when they much needed support and assistance, and he waa proud to say that the club had considerably improved under his auspices. He was the right man in the right place, and he hoped they would all drink his health with threetimes three.— Mr Smith having replied, MrMorice gave '• The Health of the Rear- Commodore," Mr George Harrison, and that gentleman in reply said he hoped he should always merit their esteem and regard, which he would ever strive to do.— Mr Crosley ; then gave " Success ^ to jthe Union Yacht Club House and its chairman," dwelling upon the manner in which Mr Smith had assisted the movement,' and hoping that it might exist for many years to come. " The Health of the Treasurer,'' Mr G. C. Eagle, and several other toasts followed. In the course of the evening Messrs Lawler, Montem Smith, and Young sang a variety of glees, trios, and ballads, with their accustomed sweetness. LAMBEIH UNITED ROWING CLUB. The last four- oared race of the above club was rowed on Satur- day, Oct 24, the course being fromJBattersea Old Bridge to West- minster. The prizes were as follows :— First boat, five silver cups; second, five signet rings; third, money prizes. Five boats entered, with the following results:— WAIGHI'S CREW— T. Lowe, R. Sneath, C. Coombes, T. Waight J. Perry ( cox) 1 BROOKES'S CEEW— W. Stotesbury, T. Royal, R. Morton, G. Brookes, E. Lewis ( cox) 2 WHITE'S CREW— D. Snort, J. Clarke, W. Tanner, G. White, W. Ware ( cox) 3 POCLTER'S CEEW— T. White, W. Meckiff, T. Pocock, A. Poulter, W. lioberts ( cox) 0 Caoss's CREW— G. Rogers, T. Coombes, II. Smith, F. Cross, T. John son ( cox) 0 After a little fiddling on the part of one of the boats they got away together, Mr R. Bain officiating in the double capacity of starter and umpire, and Brookes, with Cross, were the first to draw ahead after they had rowed about two hundred yards well together. A very fine race now ensued to near Cadogan Pier between Brookes and Cross, when the former began inch by inch to creep away, and in a hundred yards on they were half a length ahead. A desperate spurt on the part of Cross here lessened the gap, but at Battersea Park Pier Brookes led by a length, and Waight, from last, having passed Poulter and White, began to pick up Cross. Between here and the Suspension Bridge a very splendid race was kept up among the first three boats, which were prow and stem overlapping one another. White and Poulter fell out of the race after the Suspension Bridge, and on nearing the Railway Bridge Waight, who was now a length behind Cross— Brookes leading by the same— put on a desperate spurt and overlapped his opponent, and about two hundred yards from Pimlico Pier passed him, going into second place, and started after Brookes. Cross now began to flag, which being perceived in White's boat, they, while leading Poulter by a length, began to diminish the gap be- tween them, and at Formby's Lime Wharf Cross was passed by White, aud soon after by Poulter, thus going last. Brookes had now held his own three- quarters of the distance, but it was evi- dent he could not last so long as Waight. A very exciting race was now kept up between the first and second boats, which ended at Millbank Pier. Coming through Vauxhall Bridge Waight put on a spurt, aud Brookes only led by half his length, and creeping up inch by inch Waight went ahead at the pier. The race was now over. Waight won by a length; the same distance between second and third; Poulter and Cross nowhere. The members hold their meetings at the house of Mr Place, the Fleece, Duke- street, Stamford- street, Blackfriars- road, who is the treasurer of the club, and has materially assisted them by his liberality towards it, WESI LONDON ROWING CLUB. The postponed eight- oared race of the above club was rowed on Saturday, Oct 24. The course was from Putney to Wandsworth, and the result as under :— Ma PITT'S CREW— Messrs J. Cockerell, F. Drake, W. A, Poeock, G. J. Kerridge, C. Hackar, H. Judaon, A. D. Houseman, A. 11. Pitt, E. Bright ( cox) 1 MB LISTER'S CREW— Messrs II. Bright, G. Pauley, W. Shep- herd, T. Bond, C. Collins, F. J. Tyler, F. W. Bryant, G. D. Lister, T. Wallace ( cox) 0 The race by all account seems to have been a mere scramble, although the men had been drawn for it a fortnight, and it was eventually won by Mr Pitt's crew after some fouling. CORSAIR ROWING CLUB. The next monthly meeting of this club takes place at half- past eight o'clock on Monday evening, Nov 2, at Lindsay's, Quadrant Hotel, Air- street, Regent- street, when important business will be transacted, and final arrangements made with regard to the annual dinner of the club, which will take place on Friday, Nov 6, at the Quadrant Hotel. The time of dining is eight o'clock, and a large muster of members is expected. SHIFTING BALLAST. MB EDITOB : As I see the annual debate on shifting ballast ha commenced in your columns, alisw me to suggest a very simple plan whereby it may be prevented, and that is, limit the number of hands allowed on board to one hand for every seven or even ten tons, instead of one for every five tons, as at present. It is very evident that shot bags cannot get to windward without hands to heave them there, and by thuslimitingthenumberof hands, all will be required on deck, and there will be none to spare for shifting; besides, another advantage we shall gain will be the abolition of the present enormous balloon canvas, for the crews being thus limited, they will not be strong enough to handle it In the Royal London this past season we had a very good match with yachts in cruising trim, and with one hand for every ten tons, and I do not see why this rule should not be generally adopted.— Yours, & c, WHITE WITH RED MALTESE CEOSS. a side, on Tuesday, Nov 24. We have received £ 10 a side, and £- 5 a side will be due next week. J. Evans of Mill Stairs will row R. Davis of Fountain Stairs, for £ 25 a side, from Blackwall Stairs to London Dock buoy. Meet at Mr Short's, Ship and Pilot, on Tuesday, Oct 3. DEATH OF T. MACKINNEY. This celebrated Richmond waterman died on Tuesday, Oct 27, aged 42, after several weeks of intense suffering, caused by in- ternal cancer. His whole career, since he first came out as the winner of Mr Morris's Coat and Badge in 1845, if not brilliant has been most creditable, and for straightforward conduct he was surpassed by none. He has left four children and a widow, who intend to carry on his business at Richmond, and we doubt not that the remembrance of the husband's good qualities will insure them plentiful support The funeral took place on Friday after- noon in Richmond Cemetery, and was numerously attended; by the friends and brother watermen of the deceased. We shall take an early opportunity of laying before our readers Mackinney's chief doings on the water. YACHTING IN THE MEDITEEBANEAN.— The extended taste for yachting among French amateurs has excited some discussion among them as to the best means of making a winter cruise in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. One writer on the subject ob- serves that if it is simply proposed to make a single excursion it would be more advantageous to lure a schooner yacht, which eould be easily done in England, through the medium of brokers. If, on the other hand, it is intended to make a cruise annually for some years, it would be better to purchase a yacht The price of a schooner is very variable, but a yacht of this class, of about 100 tons, provided with anchors, a double set of sails, two boats ( one of them a lifeboat), would cost about £ 1,400, to which must be added £ 154 for the Government duty levied. in France on the ad- mission of foreign- built vessels, making a total estimated outlay of £ 1,554. The expenses of the cruise, for wages and food of captain and crew, general charges, repairs, dues, and instruments are estimated at rather more than £ 41 per month. The writer thinks it would be advantageous to buy a yacht in England in preference to having one built in France, as although English- built ships pay a duty of 11 per cent, they still cost less than if they had been built in a French yard. Still more, English builders and brokers have often yachts to sell at the end of a season, all ready for immediate use. The season generally agreed on for excursions in the Mediterranean is the winter. ' Although the sea may then be sometimes bad, it is sub- ject to calms as well as to gales. Excessive heat, which is found ex- tremely distressing in summer, is also avoided. The writer im- presses the importance of securing the services of a thoroughly efficient captain before entering on a cruise, as upon the pos- session of such an assistant much of the pleasure of the voyage will depend. RAY v BACCHHS.— A rather unusual match took place on Friday, Oct 23, between Mr W. Ray of Lambeth, well known formerly as a member of the Thames Unity Rowing Club, and Messrs A. and G. Bacchus, the former agreeing to scull in an outrigger against the brothers in a pair- oared boat, from Putney to Mortlake. The match arose through some public- house chaff, and £ 20 a side was staked as the amount to be rowed for. The men appeared at the starting post a little before high water, Ray in one of Jewett's boats, and the pair being by Biffen; Tom Hoare officiating as referee. They started by mutual consent and got away together, but in a few strokes Ray was half a length clear, the others rolling about in the pair and making hardly any way through the water, so that at Siinmonds's Ray was a clear length ahead, and was going right away. A spurt on the part of the pair oppo- site the London boat- house revived the hopes of their backers, but Ray had the race completely in his hands, and at the Point led by three lengths. As they approached Craven the pair crept up a bit, but Ray went away any time he pleased, and passed under Hammersmith Bridge in a little more than eleven minutes, lead- ing by six lengths. Ray after increased his lead as he liked, while the other men were striving hard to work together, but owing to their inability to set the boat were left further astern at every stroke, and the sculler arrived at Mortlake a winner by three hundred yards. RICHABD GBEEN.— A numerous meeting of the friends of the Australian Champion, convened by advertisement, was held atTat- tersall's on Thursday evening; Mr'P. Curtis in thechair. Mr Driver, after addressing the meeting in a speech highly and deservedly eulogistic of Mr W. G. Moore and Harry Kelly, for the kind- ness they had shown towards Green since his arrival in England, moved the following resolution:—" That immediate steps be taken to raise a fund necessary to enable Richard Green to again compete in a wager skiff for the championship of the world.'' The motion was seconded by Alderman Moore, and carried by acclamation, A committee was immediately formed to carry out the resolution, and to provide for the defraying of Green's expenses during his stay in England. Upwards of £ 100 was subscribed in the room, and numerous promises of contribu- tions were made by the admirers of the Australian Champion's gameness and honesty; so that there can be no question but that the object of his friends will be triumphantly carried out. The meeting, after passing a vote of thanks to the chairman, then broke up.— Belt's Life in Sydney. YACHTING AT SYDNEY, N. S. W.— It appears from the pro- ceedings at the annual meeting of the Royal Sydney Yacht Club that the financial situation is good, a balance of £ 84 remaining on hand.

[ From Bell's Life in Sydney.'] The long- pending contest between these two celebrities of the P. R. came off, as per arrangement, on Tuesday last It was settled first that the mill should come off at Botany, and two steamers were engaged to convey the friends of the parties to the scene of action. At the early hour of six o'clock on Tuesday morning throngs crowded the quay, waiting for the departure of the Mimosa and Kiama. Between three and four hundred em- barked in the two boats, which, after a pleasant passage, landed their frieght at Kernel, on the south shore of Botany. Having dis- embarked, the cry of " The Peelers" was heard " in different di- rections, which proved to be too true, a dozen of the usually " invisible blues having put in an appearance just when they were not wanted. The principals, who were both on the ground, having been disposed of, the police were as much at fault as if they were bushranging. After some little delay, and " hole and corner policy,'' arrangements were made for finishing the affair at Port Hacking, about six miles further south, where it was un- derstood the little business of the meeting could be carried out mm eon. Having re- embarked, the party sought " green fields and pastures new," and after an hour's transit ( non sie) landed at their destination, a more convenient spot than which apparently could not have been selected. As soon as the boats anchored a pioneer party was sent on terra fltmn to select a place and form the ring. Boat load after boat load left the steamer, and lastly the " mighty men of battle,'' the combatants who were to contend for the honours of the day. All the preliminaries having been effected, the crowd eagerly sur- rounded the ring, and at half- past two Sullivan's " tile" was thrown into the arena, followed by himself in propria persona. His appearance was hailed with loud cheers, and his opponent, who instantly followed him, received a similar ovation. Having tossed for corners, Dodd won, which placed Sullivan with his face to the sun. Dodd was ably handled by Bill Branch and Jack Tickell, while Ned O'Brien and another did the needful for Sul- livan. Two umpires having been chosen, some little delay oc- curred in the selection of a referee, but this little difficulty having been satisfactorily got over, the men proceeded to strip. They both looked the picture of health, condition, and manly vigour, and a more equal match to all appearance could not be found. At five minutes to three, having shaken hands, they commenced THE FIGHT.— On the men shaping 5 to 4 was offered on Sul- livan. After a little sparring on both sides, Sullivan got home on Dodd's emeller [ cries of First Blood for Sullivan]. Having closed, a little fibbing took place, and both down, finished the round. The 2d, 8d, 4th, and 5th rounds terminated, if any- thing, in favour of Sullivan, and 6 to 4 was now offered on him. No material damage was yet done, and from then to the 10th round nothing of any consequence occurred. In this round, after a deal of sparring and an exchange of blows, both closed, falling through the ropes in Dodd's corner, Sullivan coming in contact with a bottle on the small rib, which gave him great pain. From this to the 14th round there was very little difference in the appear- ance of the men, as regards superiority. In this round, after a good deal of sparring and an exchange of blows, the men again olosed and fell on the ropes; having been parted, Sullivan held up his finger, showing that it had been bitten, and an appeal having been made by some of his friends to the referee, he gave it as " foul;" but after a little " barney," again said, " Go on," and the battle was resumed. Dodd now became the favourite, and 3 to 2 was freely offered on him. Sullivan's left peeper now began to swell, and his face to look a little flushed, showing that his opponent had been there, while Dodd's right organ of vision seemed none the better for his exertions in the noble art; his face also, to a somewhat less extent, giving striking proof of the effect of Sullivan's little endearments. From this to the finish ( 28th round) the punishment seemed to be very light on both sides. Both men appeared weak, and cared little about the busi- ness before them. After this round a considerable time was wasted in sparring and manoeuvring, Sullivan keeping well up to his corner, the other, at the same time, seeming little disposed to fetch him out Being now ten minutes to five, the referee de- cided upon drawing the fight, the men not being inclined to go to work. He was then induced to prolong it, but shortly afterwards ( five minutes to five), finding the men in the same disposition, finally drew the battle. Thus 28 rounds were fought in 2h 5min ( the first 17 in Samin), the contest terminating to the dissatisfac- tion of all present. Neither of the men showed any sign of severe punishment, though both seemed extremely weak. We may remark, in conclusion, that Sullivan fought his man the greater part of the rounds in his ( Dodd's) own corner, and could not be induced until near the finish to remain back. We should be happy to see these two men " fighting their battle over again,'' believing that they are most equally matched, and no scienoe or pluck is wanting in either of them. About a quarter to six all the party were again on the " blue waters" on their return to Sydney, which they reached safe and sound about eight o'clock. Jack Sullivan was well known as a promising lad in the English P. R. He is now doing well as a licensed victualler at the antipodes. THE OXFORD MARTYRS. On Wednesday morning last Mr Holt ( our reporter), and Nat Langham, Alec Keene, Bob Travers, Jem Dillon, G. Brown, Jack Hicks, Fred Oliver, Bob Webb, and Bos Tyler, were liberated from durance vile at Oxford County Gaol. They all concur in stating that they were completely entrapped by the Jesuitical letter of Davenport, the clerk, or whatever he may be, to the magistrates. So convinced were they that they would only be called on to en- large their recognisances till the assizes that they all went pro- vided with bail, and all took return tickets, intending to return to town the same day. So that all were doubly punished, being, in addition to their imprisonment, considerably out of pocket for the travelling expenses of their bail and of themselves. They admit that they were wrong in not asking for an adjournment, in order to procure counsel, when they found what course was in- tended to be pursued; " but," say tney, " we were so completely taken aback by the underhand method in which the ease was got up, that this course never struck us until it was too late. We were told by the police who came to give evidence that if we had our bail with us we should not be detained many minutes, and it never occurred to us that a bench of magistrates, composed of English gentlemen, would have suffered us to be entrapped as we were." These observations on the part of the sufferers are per- fectly justifiable, and cannot be too widely circulated. It is evi- dent that the police, who were merely present to do their duty, had no notion that tbe prisoners were going to be hurried through their trial, and were quite as much surprised as the unfortunates when the case came on for hearing, but it remains to be proved that the magistrates were not acquainted with the deliberate piece of deception practised by their underling. It has always been considered a rule in England that where prisoners have no counsel, it is the duty of those who try them to see that they have fairplay. and that no underhand influence has been brought into play to their prej udice. How far the Oxford Bench have acted up to this rule we leave the public to judge. It is possible they were not aware of the nature of Davenport's letter, but this we can hardly believe. If it is so we call upon them to vindicate themselves by punishing him either by dismissal from an office which he certainly is not deserving to hold, or in some other way which will teach him in future not to carry out the course of law by means which have never been recognised in this country. Should the bench admit their participation in the tricks of this man, then we have only to say their conduct is but another specimen of the manner in which justice, or rather injustice, is administered by the Great Unpaid, and shows more than ever how necessary it is to have the law carried out by stipendiary magistrates, who are educated to their business, and have, at any rate, some notion of carrying out En- glish law in a legal way. It is not to be supposed that the sufferers will receive any com- pensation at the hands of their oppressors for the money they were out of pocket, and they ( Mr Holt of course excepted) confi- dently appeal to the public at large for some marks of their sym- pathy with them in their misfortunes.

His letter requires no comment from us :— MB EDITOB : The article which appeared in your paper of Saturday, Oct 10, commenting upon the recent fight between Gannon and Baldock, and the subsequent disgraceful proceedings at your office, having been received with great gusto by those persons who wish to see prize- fighting abolished, induces me to trouble you with a few remarks upon the subject. This article of yours, Mr Editor, has been most illogically construed; the would- be abolishers of the " manly art" are crying out, " There— what do you think of prize fighting now ? Even Bell says, ' Whether gentlemen will ever again be persuaded to venture to the ring- side is a problem yet to be solved."" It is useless to point out to them that you were in this article merely commenting upon the abuses which the Ring had lately received at the hands of some of its black sheep, and that you could not possibly have intended to disparage the P. R. when properly conducted according to its es- tablished rules. The abolitionists will persist that you are coming round to their way of thinking— viz, that in this enlightened age such brutal exhibitions as prize fights should not be permitted. It is impossible within the limits of a letter to enumerate all the pros and cons bearing upon the subject; But of this fact I am quite confident— viz, that as long as human nature is human nature men will quarrel and resort to force to settle their little differences; and this being so, I am sure it is far better they should do so by the aid of their digits than follow the example set them in countries where the " manly art" is not followed, by piercing each other's bodies with lead or steel. Then these squeamish persons will say it does not follow that because you wish a man to be able to defend himself with his fists that prize fights are essential. To this, sir, I answer, if we ds away with prize fighting we do away with boxing; that one will not exist without the other. As well ( as I recollect to have seen somewhere) might we expect to con- tinue to cultivate the breed of our race horses were races abolished; one is just as likely as the other. There is, I think, among a large number in the present age a desire to abolish the manly sports in which our forefathers indulged, and I have gene- rally noticed that the strongest opponents of the Prize Ring are averse ( though in a less degree) to other amusements, such as hunting, racing, and such like, and would, if they were able, abolish them as well as prize fighting. They would wish to do away with, one by one, all those fine old sports in which our an- cestors delighted, and which contributed in no mean degree to ob- tain for Englishmen their world- wide reputation for pluek, stamina, and endurance, until the youth of dear old England were reduced to the miserable state of being compelled in their hours of relaxation to fill up their time by engaging in a game of scandal over a cup of Bohea, with its concomitant of muffins, and supplemented by a mild game at croquet or shuttlecock and bat- tledore. Let all such who would regret to see such a result be " up and doing," and use every means in their power to prevent these fastidious croakers accomplishing their weak designs.— Yours, & c, E. C. October 20, 1363. I FISK AND M'MOBAN.— These light weights met on Monday, Oct 1 23; to decide tU ® ir fistic superiority, at catch weight, for £ 5 s side, i « Lincolnshire, about three miles from Hull. Fisk is 21 years of age, and weighed about 8st 81b, whilst his opponent, who only numbered 19 summers, pulled down the scale at 8st 121b. Fisk was seconded by Ostler of Norwich and a well- known pug, whilst Jack Cun- ningham and a friend did the needful for Moran. The fight lasted lh 56rnm, 116 rounds being contested, when the seconds of Fisk threw up the sponge in acknowledgment of defeat. His defeat is attributed to his having been attacked with a shivering fit in the middle of the fight. Both lads are regular game- uns. CLARKE AND SMITH.— This match, like most country affairs, has ended without a fight, and in a dispute. Smith's party de- clare that they waited two hours at a place called Burnastoii, and that Clarke did not show ; while Clarke and his friends assert that Smith was absent from the place appointed. Clarke sends a letter from one Thomas Smith, who declares he was referee, and that as Smith did not appear he awards the stakes to Clarke. Smith, on the other hand, asserts that no referee was chosen. We cannot undertake to unravel the mystery, which we must leave these worthies to settle among themselves. Dan Morris wishes to say that he never sent for the police in his late contest with Tyson. Morris complains that, when Tyson was fairly knocked out of time, he ( Morris) was not taken out of the ring, and although willing to bow to whatever fair decision has been given, he thinks that he has been hardly dealt with, especially in the account given of the fight Morris says that in all his fights he has never cavilled, but has ever, as in the last, done his best fairly and honourably to win. We give his state- ment as it was forwarded to us. VVe have no comments to make upon it We believe that the account furnished by our reporter was thoroughly trustworthy. MABSDEN AND O'BALDWIN.— We have received the following letter from O'Baldwin, commenting on the above battle:— Mi- Editor: I feel I have a right to complain of your " remarks" upon my late fight with Marsden. I am at a loss to conceive what " sinister" object I could have in trying my luck in a fair stand- up fight. I admit I wa3 beaten fairly by my honourable oppo- nent, but in admitting this I beg leave to state that it was in the first round I was beaten and knocked out of time, because after the first round I had no knowledge of anything whatever. A man may as surely be " knocked out of time" in the first round as he would be in any subsequent rounds. I am told that in the fight for the Championship between Jem Ward and Tom Cannon the battle only lasted eight minutes, when Tom Cannon was completely knocked out of time. The same like blow was just as likely to have taken place in the first round as the last; yet nobody in this case attributed cowardice to Tom Cannon. I hope yet to con- vince you, when opportunity presents itself to me, that I am any- thing but " a cur and a coward,'' and that I am the man. and the only man, looming in the future who is now more than ever de- termined to give to himself the proud distinction of Champion of England, however much his native and loved land Ireland may be sneered at and despised; and however much my looks may be considered " sinister," yet I consider, in justice to myself, what- ever my looks may be, that you will in your next issue of Bell's Life ( in your hitherto generous pages) insert this, and by so doing you will have the satisfaction to know that it is my determination, from my future conduct, in the Ring, to cause you to change your opinion completely and entirely respectingmy manhood aud the land I am proud to claim as my nativity, which in my con- science I believe to be equally brave with any nation upon the face of the earth, aye, even without " Saxon" blood, to be equally brave with the " Saxon."— Yours, & c, NED O'BALDWIN.

Detective- sergeant Spokes, after describing the robbery, stated that on the previous evening he apprehended the prisoner Walters, and found con- cealed under a sofa in his house a number of cigars which Mr Brettle believed were some of those stolen from his premises. Nolan was in the prosecutor's house on the night of the robbery, taking part in a disturbance which was going on, and he being suspected of having been concerned in the robbery, was after- wards apprehended on suspicion. There was not, however, sufficient evidence against him to justify his detention in custody, and he ( Spokes), therefore applied for his discharge. As to Waiters, he asked that he might be remanded for a week, in order that further evidence might be obtained against him. Walters was then remanded, and Nolan was discharged, but immediately re- apprehended on another charge. Spokes stated that on referring to BeWs Life he saw that Nolan was matched to fight with another man in December, and applied that he might be bound over to keep the peace. The prisoner was then ordered to find two sureties in £ 25 each, and enter into his recognisances in £ 50, to keep the peace for six months, and, in default of finding sure- ties, to be imprisoned for that time.

EXTBAOBDINAKY CHABGE.— On Saturday, Oct 26, Mr James Clifford, of Broughton- house, Shardlow, was charged before the Ashbourne magistrates with stealing in 1804 a leaf of the parish register of the parish of Longford, Derbyshire, containing an entry of the baptism of William, son of Mary Patlow, of Bentley, dated the 8th of November, 1727. In opening the case Mr Quarles said that Mr Clifford in 1804 went to Longford, accompanied by a man named Thomas Sutton, and that they then stole the leaf. They afterwards went to London, and the prisoner and the Buttons of Shardlow then became possessed of the property of William Patlow, amounting to £ 60,000, to which they v- ere not entitled, they not being the rightful heirs. Various witnesses were ex- amined in support of & e charge. Mr Bristow, for the defence, said that Mr Clifford denied the charge in the most positive manner. He characterised the proceedings as a base attempt to extort money. The chairman of the bench said that the magis- trates, after hearing the evidence, could not help believing that a leaf was extracted from the Longford register, and that James Clifford was the person who did extract it. They therefore com- mitted him for trial. Bail was granted, Clifford in £ 500, and tw © sureties in £ 2q0 each. 8 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, OCTOBER 31, 1863. INTELLIGENCE EXTRA.

NARROW ESCAPE OF AN IRON- CLAD FRIGATE.— DUBLIN, OCT 30.— The '. ron- clad frigate Prince Consort, Capt Vesey, is lying off Kingstown greatly disabled, having encountered a fearful gale in the Channel. She has sprung a leak, and is nearly filled with water. But for the great exertions of her officers and crew it is said that she would have sunk in the Channel. All her boats, guns, & c, are in confusion, and several of the crew have been seriously injured. She put in this morning, and soon after anchoring parted her cables, aad was obliged to drop a second anchor, by which she now rides, about a mile and a half from the East Pier. There was 7 feet of water in her yesterday. The pumps have only gained an inch. GALE OF WIND.— FATAZ. ACCIDENT AT NEW CROSS.— On Thursday a gale from the W. S. VV. broke over London. It became higher during the night, and continued to blow in heavy gusts, accompanied by rain, during the whole of Friday. In the south- west and north- east broken tiles, slates, chimney pots, and cowls strewed the streets and roads, and a number of persons were in- jured by their fall. The most serious accident which occurred during the day took place at the New Cross station of the Lon- don, Brighton, and South Coast Railway. As every one who has occasion to travel on any of the lines from London Bridge must be aware, there are several large engine sheds in the neighbour- hood of Hatcham Park. In one of these sheds yesterday after- noon about a dozen men were working, principally engine- fitters, stokers, and drivers. There were also four or live engines getting up steam, two of them being ready to go out, when, without the slightest warning, the wind rushed in at the lower end of the shed with terrific force, and there being 110 vent for it, it first blew off' the roof, notwithstanding it was braced with heavy iron girders, and then threw down one side of the building, which might, perhaps, be fifty or sixty yards in length. The side which was blown out fell across the rails of the Croydon line, completely blocking them with a mass of bricks and rubbish. The other side of. the building, against which several hundred tons of coke were piled, fell inwards on the space occu- pied by the building, which was immediately covered by a mass of bricks, heavy iron girders, and broken beams of timber. In point of fact, the building was as completely demolished as if it had been a card house blown down by a breath of wind. The men engaged in the building fled for their lives at the first alarm, but before they could get out several of them were completely buried in the ruins. One man named H. T. Woodrow was killed on the spot by the falling of an engine upon him. He was found com- pletely doubled up, his back being crushed, and both thighs broken. His head was also frightfully wounded by the falling of iron- rods. He was an engine- fitter, and we understand leaves a wife and family. Three other men, named George Outts, William Smith, and Charles Privett, were also so injured by the falling girders that but little hopes are entertained of their re- covery. CnfctQ had his back broken and his right leg broken in two places ; •• Smith has both legs broken, and Privett his legs and arms broken. The gale was felt with more or less severity all sovs allowed 7%. S0. Hlb, 50141b, 30 211b; about two miles. To I round the ceast and a great deal ef damage was done.

[ HUKTIK © INTELLIGENCE WILLTFFIFFOUND IN THE THIKD PAGE. J BREECH- LOADING SMALL ARMS. We now come to consider Mr Westley Richards's pamphlet in that part wherein he discusses " breech- loading small arms." Here he may be said to be quite aufait, as he is not only a manu- facturer of small arms himself on a very extensive scale, but as the patentee of two breech- loaders, one for military and one for sporting purposes. We will only deal at present with the military form of the weapon. It is put as the objection of officers and other persons against breech- loading small arms, that the men in action would tire away their ammunition so rapidly that their shot and aim would be purposeless. This is an objection, but only so far as the drill of the soldier is concerned, but it is by no means the most formidable objection put forth against the breech- loading system; there are objections against the gun itself which patentees, inventors, and improvers have long worked hard to over- come with more or less success. There is the " plan," the weak- ness in something or other, the defect in easy manipulation, and the want of strong shooting. Now, there are three principles of recognised breech- loading, and those of our readers who accom- panied us through the International Exhibition of 1862 must have a strong recollection of the details of them all— for, we believe, we did not omit a single example embodying the many particulars presented to our observation. The slide, the breech- hinge, and the drop- stock have all appeared before the public, and almost every week brings forth some new " patent" to swell the already crowded list. The slide plan has gone on pretty well in some cases, but not so well in others. Faci- lity in loading, ease in the working parts, durability, economy in manufacture and repair, cleanliness of action, and strength of shooting must ever be concomitants in the per- sonnel of breech- loading guns. But, and it is somewhat odd, with very remote exceptions indeed, the cartridge has been compara- tively little thought of in this general improvement. And yet, blink at it as we may, if breech- loading weapons are to assume the perfect form we are taught to hope for, the cartridge must play a much more important part than it does at present; that gun that, all other things being eqaal, requires the least trouble to get ready will come before us with the strongest claims to our favour. We coincide with Mr Richards as to the non- advisability of training our troops to long range firing; battles never can be disposed of by shooting at such indistinct distances as 1,200, 1,500, or 1,800 yards. That there are advantages in long range shooting cannot be denied. For instance, where a battery ot artillery with their ammunition waggons are descried either coming up or " fronting" into action, Daw's Jacob rifle shells landing in the gunpowder would blow the whole affair into the clouds beyond all question. These shells are tired from short heavy rifles— almost carbines in fact— and the light company of every regi- ment being armed with them would be able to make fear- ful havoc, where there was anything that could be set on fire. We believe that Daw has adapted his capital central fire breech loading mechanism to this very rifle. By such a conver- sion there is a weapon for advanced posts firing into field maga- zines that is capable of enormous mischief. Our military authorities do not seem to be very enthusiastic about large- range work, and that is very probably the reason why they look upon Enfield Jane as the best successor of Brown Bess. Every regi- ment, we venture to suggest, should have its company of special- trained marksmen for long ranges, and the best weapons which the gun maker's art can produce should be placed in their hands. The breech- loaders of Mr Richards have been distributed among the cavalry, and, so far, we have heard nothing to affect its reputation. It is on the hinge plan, having a lever near the " small,'' lifting back towards the barrel, to which it is hinged, and carrying a gun- metal plunger, brazed to a slide- bolt under- neath. The mode of loading is by throwing the lever up, where it rests, when the breech is exposed open; a cartridge is then in- serted, the lever drawn down, when the plug pushes right into the barrel, and the piece is ready for capping. The back of the block- piece, or bolt, has an inclined plane, double cut, fitting into the rear bed of the breech- piece in such a manner that, in its recoil, perssing against a similar plane, a wedgirig- up action takes place, and so tightens the lever down on the stock. Then we have Mont Storm's plan, by which he proposed to convert all the old Enfield rifles. Here the breech- piece is also hinged on the top, lifts up by a thumb- piece in front of the hammer, the cartridge is inserted, I down goes the breech- piece again, then cap and fire The breech- piece is held in its place by a bolt coming out with the fall of the hammer, and shooting into a hole in the rear of the lump. This plan has been under trial for a long time, but from some cause or another it does not make that headway with the public which th « inventor was led to anticipate. We are not here entering into any particular form of rifling, nor are we going to raise a discussion about trajectory, but simply deal with the breech- loading system. Mr Richards does deal with it, but only incidentally, lor the purpose of comparison, to show that if it is so extremely difficult to bring down your game when deerstalk- ing, at comparatively short ranges, by some of the best shots in the kingdom, wnat can be the use of 1,500yards rank and file regi- mental shots, when we consider the very rough material of which the bulk of the army is composed ? He looks upon it as a sheer and wanton waste of ammunition, and so do we. It must be re- membered that troops in action are continually moving, and con- sequently the most terrible infantry effect, would be produced under 500 yards, where every shot would tell. Again, men ad- vancing in skirmishing order, or gradually falling back upon their supports, loading with the ramrod as they best can, cannot bargain for any particular aim. It may be all very well in the practice ground at the butts, but then in that case the targets do not fire back again, which every deli berate thousand- yards' ranger will admit makes a slight difference to the nerves 011 the occa- sion. Here, however, is where breech- loaders would most as- suredly be invaluable. Suppose a strong bod3' of skirmishers were thrown out to prevent the formation of cavalry intending a charge, and that they had to clear their front as they went on, then by means of the breech- loader they could fire away delibe- rately, yet quickly, three shots to one of their muzzle- loading op- ponents ; in fact, with an easily- handled rifle, they could run and load. In rifle- pits again, those fearfully destructive hornets' nests that do often sting field- batteries, the breech- loader could lie down on his belly, load, and fire away without anything, either of himself or his gun, ever being seen above his own mole- hill. Take another instance. Let troops be lauding under the cover of ships'guns, and fighting their way at pistol shot dis- tance up the beach, then the breech- loaders would again have the chances three to one in their favour, because they would be so near the foe that every shot would tell, and the rapidity of fire would convert one thousand men into three thousand, to say nothing of the wonderful confldence which the breech- loader would give. Some persons advocate breech- loader carbines for the cavalry. We do not, nor any carbines at all, and we are pretty well fortified in our dissent. A cavalry man is not only moving himself, but he has other motion continually acting upon him by the moving body on which he sits— the horse. That being so, a carbine cannot be tired by one hand alone; the bridle arm is called into play to form a rest to take aim from, and what kind of an aim that is let cavalry men say. No, a good holster re- volver that he can work with one limb is what the cavalry man requires. In our opinion the first men to be furnished with breech- loaders should be the Marines. Inaction they are always con- fined to small space, whether on board or in the ship's boats, and in trying to effect a landing they want to clear the beach whilst they approach as quickly as possible, and when once ashore they ought to keep up a drum- roll fire, which could only be done by breech- loaders. As Marines do duty in all parts of the world, generally depopulating somewhere, they would be better able to speak of the value of breech- loaders in one year than all the rest of the British service in three. We would include ship's companies in the change, for Jack, in his hurry, very often breaks, bends, or shoots off his ramrod. Mr Richards gives us the results of a very valuable experiment, and we beg to reproduce it:— " ENFIELD RIFLE.— Skirmishing in line; advancing, and kneeling to fire, from 750 to 50 yards. " BREECH- LOADER — Doubling down frem 750 to 300 yards, then commencing firing and advancing, firing from the knee, from 300 yards to 50 yards. Enfield. Breech- loader. Shots fired 54 59 Hits 26 54 Time occupied 37min 18inin.'' Well, it is quite clear that the breech- loaders did not waste much ammunition here. They made 54 hits in half the time that the muzzle- loaders took to make 26, whilst the latter expended nearly double the quantity of powder and shot. This was bring- ing the breech- loaders up to the effective point of nearly four to one! We are told that the men were all volunteers who were well used to the Enfield, but had never shot with a breech- loader before. These are facts from which there is no escaping. Mr Richards recommends the change of arms to be gra- dual, and contemplates progression in the character of the weapon. So do we, but with respect to the naval elements of the service we should strongly recommend an immediate change. We would also harden the bullets with tin to increase penetration, and prevent the lead being oxidised when it came in contact with grease, an important quality in storage. With respect to long range shooting the writer would hand it over to a lilliputian artillery— small one- pounder breech loaders with carriages for mule backs in mountain service, or to be movable by men in the absence of other transport. Mr Richards is not the first in the field with this class of guns ; it is but justice to him, however, to add that he does not say he is, he only recommends the plan. We recollect in Capt Blakely's experi- ments in 1S61 that he had some mountain howitzers in battery that we ourselves lifted and carried from one carriage to another. When the late Lord Hardinge was at the head of the Ordnance Depart menthe was always placing the infant artillery prominently be- fore the Horse Guards, and very strongly urged its adoption into the service. He had one made at Enfield to show what it was like. A gun of such a nature would be about 701b weight, and the carriage and 100 rounds of ammunition would weigh about 1701b more, the whole reaching little over 2cwt. A saddle carriage is suggested for these weapons. \\ e are not by any means going to question the worth of the breech loading system, because we think in the instances we have given it would be extremely valuable ; but then comes the ques- tion, " What breech loader is the best ?" That we can hardly be expected to answer, but we can point out, as we have done ere this, the merits and defects of many. Even while we write new ones are putting in claims for public inspection and approval. To the excellence of Mr Westley Richard's patents both for the field and for war purposes WB have over and over again borne our willing testimony. There is another, however, of which we expressed a somewhat sanguine opinion when it was first submitted to our notice, about two years ago ; we mean the central- fire patent of Daw of Threadneedle- street. It has had a very successful run, so far, and continues to advance in favour; and, speaking on the authority and assurances of Mr Daw himself, it has exceeded his utmost hopes or expectations, letters of approval coining in daily from all quarters. " Daw's central fire'' is worked by a lever under the trigger guard, which admits of the stock dropping and opening the breech. There are other " drop- stocks," and very good ones too, but in this one the bed of the breech end of the barrel is solid tempered iron, whilst the lower part rests on a very strong cross- bar at the bottom of this bed, which also serves to wedge it tight. In the event of a windy day's grit getting into the closing sur- faces, the lever underneath is sufficiently powerful to make paste of it in the locking- to. The cartridge contains the detonator in its centre, the gun is pulled up, and locked, and as there is no capping you need only present and fire. The abolition of the cap and nipple is a great step gained, whilst the rifle cartridge is the handiest and simplest that can possibly be imagined. When we examined this principle, about two years ago, we spoke highly of it as possessing the elements of a first- class breech- loading sporting weapon, and from the testimony of a number of sporting gentlemen, which was submitted to our perusal recently, our opinion has been fully borne out and con- firmed in every respect. We must now take tnie gun as having established itself and fully maintained the warranty of its pa- tentee and maker during the two years of its existence. This is one way of " experimenting" in actual service, but, although reliable, is slow in the process, and we, too, would urge that competitive trials of all breech- loaders should be made by the military authorities with a view to a service weapon. We do not expect that all patentees would send their weapons for trial, be- cause their details might not be suited for " rai k and file'' pur- poses; again, on the other hand, manufacturers having as much work on their favourite weapon as they can possitly turn out, don't care to go down to Hythe, feeling as if they were fluttering in a net of red tape, and being " prodded" with the pitchfork of official badgerism. It has seemed, unfortunately, at times to have been forgotten that gunmakers and patentees carrying on a good business are just as independent, and as little inclined to brook the snubbing of " General This,'' or " Colonel That," as any set of men in the British dominions. We do not say that the " humbug,'' like the " manners" of old dames' country schools, is a necessity of the " conditions," and thrown in extra; but we do say that the past history of " bigwiggism'' is so sorely remembered in the inventive department of the gun trade, that it requires the nicest delicacy and the most sterling courtesy on the part of the present possessors of power to remove deep- rooted timidity and prejudice. In the latter part of Mr Richards's pamphlet is a scheme for the simplification of the " form of accounts for Government manufacturing departments." This is a subject we will not discuss, for we look upon any reform in that direction with about as much hope as we should on Sunday ex- cursions to the moon, a railway over the Atlantic, or any other mortal or moral impossibility. It is a political question, and can only be properly dealt with by the elective power of the hustings. We will, therefore, pass it by, merely remarking that the plan of assimilating the management of Government manufactures to that of private enterprise is far too simple and economical to meet with the slightest consideratioii from those who hold the ribbons " upstairs.'' We have now, we think, pretty freely reviewed Mr Richards's pamphlet, and the earnest criticism it has evoked in all quarters evinces the deep- seated interest which the gun question lias ex cited in every man's breast. We only trust that it may long con- tinue so. We are very well satisfied with the part we have taken; the more so as events are proving every day that our position has always beea^ a sound one. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. AMERICA. ( B Y ELECTRIC AND INTERNA TIONAL TELEGRAPH.) ( Per the Persia, via Roche's Point, Oct 31,10: 35 a. m.) NEW YORK, OCT. 19, 5 P. M. It is still asserted from Washington, under date of the 17th and 18th inst, that no general engagement had occurred between the armies of the Potomac and Northern Virginia. During Saturday and Sunday Washington was filled with con- flicting rumours of General Lee's whereabouts and intentions, as well as of those of General Meade. At one time General Lee was reported to have crossed the Potomac, near Leesburgh, and to be advancing into Maryland, but this has since been contradicted. Another account stated that General Meade's whole army had re- ared within the defences of the capital. This also has been denied ; the belief, however, exists that the lines of the two armies are but little changed from their positions on Friday last. The cavalry under Mosley continue to operate in the rear of Gen Meade, capturing solitary officers and small squads of men, Mr Lincoln, notwithstanding his assertion in his correspondence with Governor Seymour, in August last, that the volunteering system had been proved so far exhausted as t ® be inadequate for procuring soldiers, issued a proclamation on the 17th inst calling upon the Governors of several states to furnish immediately their quotas of 300,000 new volunteers to serve for three years or the war. The necessity Mr. Lincoln assigns for this fresh demand is the depletion of the armies which will occur during the coming year through the expiration of the terms of service of the troops now in the field. The proclamation adds that, should any of the States fail to raise the quota assigned to them before the 5th of January, 1864, a draught will be made on that day in such States to make up the deficiency. The New York Times, in support of the call, says:—" Even though Rosecrans had defeated Bragg at Chattanooga— even though Meade had met and discomfited Lee on the Rapidan— even though Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, and Wilmington were in our hands, it would not be safe to permit our armies to lose their strength. We should still have heavy bodies of rebels posted through the Rebel States at points from the James River to the Mississippi, and even beyond it; we should still have tr - show a front of power in the midst of a rebellious and disaffe*^- ^ population." The mone3Ts received by the Government in payment of the- 300 dollar tee for exemption from the late draught are said to- already amount to 9,000,0u0 dollars, which it is thought will be increased by 2,000,000 dollars additional. Report alleges that the whole sum will be applied to recruiting purposes, under the present call of the President for volunteers. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Gold, 150$. Exchange, 163.

The despatches from the army of the Potomac and Washington, both to the 19th inst, convey no information of the position and actual movements of General Lee. Reconnaissances in all direc- tions report no considerable force of Confederates discovered, and the consequent conclusion is that General Lee, having failed in an endeavour to interpose his army between that of General Meade and of Washington, and having consumed the limited supplies with which alone he could encumber his men upon so hasty a march, has fallen back to a point nearer his base of operations. The rumours that the Confederate advance was designed to inaugurate another invasion of Maryland and Pennsylvania are not borne out by any ascertained facts. It is thought, in some quarters, that General Lee's real plan at the outset was to drive General Meade back to the Potomac, and then himself retire to the Rappahannock, destroying the railways on his return, thereby retarding Meade's movements of pursuit, and gaining time until the heavy rains of Autumn should set in, which would, for the third time, force the Army of the Potomac into winter quarters— " mud- bound" north of the Rappahannock, giving Richmond an additional six months' security from attack from the Northern approach. On Sunday, the 18tli, the Confederates surprised and took pos- session of Charleston, in Virginia, eight miles from Harper's Ferry, captured 400 of the 1st Maryland Regiment stationed there, and then withdrew. They were subsequently pursued by the Federal cavalry, and a few of their prisoners taken from them, together with several of their own men. The Federal General Crook has submitted, officially, an account of his encounters with General Wheeler's cavalry in Tennessee, previously reported through other channels. He claims to have defeated General Wheeler ir< three engagements, in one of which, at Farmington, he captured 1,000 small arms and 40 prisoners. The Tribune asserts that it has trustworthy authority for stating that General Rosecrans is about to be removed from the command of the army of the Cumberland. It adds that his successor has not yet been publicly announced. The Chattanooga Rebel of a late date reports the arrival of Presi- dent Davis at General Bragg's head- quarters. The object of his visit was believed to be the investigation of the causes of disagree- ment which, it is alleged, exist between General Bragg and his officers. Mr Davis was received by the troops with the greatest enthusiasm. The steamer Thomas, from Port Royal on the 16th inst, reports all quiet at Charleston at that date. The steamer Douro, which was captured last spring by the Fe- deral steamer Quaker City, condemned, sold, and taken to the British provinces, was run ashore on the North Carolina coast, and burnt, on the 11th inst, by the Federal steamer Mansemond. The Douro was endeavouring to run the blockade from Wil- mington, with a valuable cargo of cotton, tobacco, turpentine, and resin. In consequence of the directions of the British consuls at Rich- mond and Charleston to British subjects taken by conscription into the Confederate army, to throw down their arms if required to engage in actual conflict with the Federal forces, the exercise of the functions of office of these consuls has been suspended by President Davis, and themselves ordered to quit the Confederacy as quickly as possible.

The latest despatches from Virginia report that General Lee's whole army has returned to the south side of the Rappahannock. The Confederates here so thoroughly destroyed the Orange and Alexandria railway, from Manassas to Rappahannock Station ( a distance of 20 miles), that the repairs can only be effected at the rate of one mile per day. It is stated that General Burnside has possession of 40 miles of the East Tenessee Railway, and is advancing upon Lynchburg, Virginia, General Lee's base of supplies, having already reached Abingdon, which has necessitated the hasty falling back of Gene- ral Lee. Despatches from Louisvil le, of the 20th, declare General Thomas the successor of General Rosecranz. General Grant lias been put in supreme command of the de- partments and armies of the Cumberland, the Tennessee, and the Ohio. General Rosecranz is ordered to proceed to Cincinnati, and re- port by letter to the Adjutant- General at Washington. The steamer Fulton, from Charleston bar, 7: 30 p. m. on the 19th, reports no change in the quiet state of affairs. Governor Seymour yesterday issued a proclamation in the re sponse to the President's call for volunteers. He asserted that the Federal military situation in Virginia and Tennessee was most critical; that the armies were threatened with serious disaster for want of adequate force, and declared that it was the duty of all citizens, and that he should expect it of them, as well as of all state officials, to give efficient and cheerful aid in the furtherance of the appeal of the President. Mr Vallandigham has addressed a letter to the democracy of Ohio urging them to bear their recent defeat with patience, and to preserve their interest in the principles which they have de- clared. He affirms that he will ever be steadfast to those prin- ciple-, and true to the Constitution and to the State and country of his birth. Gold, 146. The Persia takes 294,516 dollars in specie. CITY INTELLIGENCE. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS- Monetary affairs during the week have been assuming an easier and better appearance, and the mercantile community have con- sequently reaped the substantial advantage of discounting theirs bills at about § less than the amount to be paid at the Bank of England. The ordinary rate, therefore, for first- class three- months paper is reduced to 3f per cent, and it is very generally inferred that if no unfavourable disclosures should be made in the next monthly return of the Bank of France, cheaper money here will prevail during the remainder of the year. Trade throughout the country is exceedingly active, the business done being about one- fourth more than at this time last year. The Board of Trade returns just published consequently presentsome very gratifying statements, and show that the prosperity of the United Kingdom is continuous. The English funds have been very dull, and prices have been fractionally depreciated through financial affairs at Paris and other parts of the Continent. Consols closed yesterday ( Friday) afternoon at 93 § , both for money and account. During the past week business in the Foreign Stock Market has continued active; the settlement of the account, however, has engaged the chief attention of the dealers and speculators. Prices in several instances have been depressed, particularly as regards Greek and Mexican Bonds; the former have receded about 5, and Mexican Stock 1 per cent. Turkish Consolides have declined J, and the Three per Cent Italian Loan J. The dealings in the Railway Share Market during the week have not been very extensive, and chiefly connected with the last monthly liquidation, upon the conclusion of which an upward movement took place in values. Great Eastern and Lancashire and Yorkshire have improved 5s; Great Northern, South Western, Midland, and North Eastern ( Berwick) 10s ; Brighton and South Eastern 15s; London, Chatham, and Dover £ 1; and North Western £ 1 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines remained at about previous quotations. Bank and Miscellaneous shares during the week were in mode- rate favour, and the few bargains reperted led to no very material change in prices. SATURDAY. The Funds to- day have been very dull. Consols are quoted 93 to 93| for both money and account. In the Foreign Market prices have also tended downwards. Mexican Stock is at 40f Greek Bonds at 30 Bpanish Passive at 35£ 35J. Railway Shares are, in most instances, at slightly reduced quo- tations, Caledonian and South Eastern being £ 1 lower. At the Loughboroagh show Lord Stamford's premium of £ 5 for the best hunter was awarded to Mr Woodroffe of Stanford, with Mr Charles Morris's horse highly commended, and the class gene- rally commended. Mr R. Lacey, of Hoton took the first prize for hacks, and Mr Benskin, of Seagrave, the second. THE LEITRIM AFFAIR.— The magistrates of the Clonbar _>? ett' Sessions have shown their condemnation of the recent insult to £ - Excellency the Lord- Lieutenant by refusing to renew the licence to King, proprietor of the Maam Hotel. Everj' right- minded person will rejoice to learn that punishment has so quickly fol- lowed the outrage upon Her Majesty's representative.— Gahvay Express. THE FREE SEAT SYSTEM IN CHURCHES.— The Archbishop of York laid the corner stone of a new church at Masbrough, near Sheffield, on Monday. The church will be free throughout, and will accommodate 800 persons. At an influential meeting held after the ceremony Lord Wharncliffe took the chair, and made some observations on the necessity of having free churches among the labouring population. He hoped that Masbrough Church would lead to the erection of other unappropriated churches.— The Archbishop of Yorksaid he entirely agreed with Lord Wharn- clifl'e. While there were social distinctions which no one— not even, hebelieved, the working man— wished to remove, and which were quite right in ordinary life, these ought to be left behind at the door of the church, folded up like umbrellas, and all should appear before their Lord and God as perfectly equal, as sinners seeking His mercy. In a few days it would be his pleasant task to go to the other end of the county and lay the foundation ston ® of a church among a population working, like that, in iron, every seat in which would be perfectly free. He would mention ano- ther instance of a free church being opened, in the hope that it would possibly bear fruit among those present. The clergyman of a small country parish had lately reseated his church. He told his people they had no legal right, but merely a prescriptive right, to their seats, and suggested that they should revert to the law, and make their seats in fact, as they were in law, absolutely free. The par: shioners agreed, and he had had the pleasure of re- open- ing the church, which was now perfectly free.
