THE BATH AND HARPENDEN MEETINGS. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TO Tllll EDITOZ 01 TM 1111111.11.. Sig,—ln this reforming age of ours it is not to be wondered at that aa attempt is to be made to alter the state a affairs at Cheater, after the failure of the late meeting on the Rhoades. The two thousand groats dia. tributed over the different stakes in the shape of added money were quit..• a wear in regard to the handicaps, which were framed without the least regard to the appearance of fairness in many cues sod as this description of races greatly preponderated in the bill of faze, the smallest of fields was only a natural consequence, even supposing the ground had been " good going." There it at last • split in the cabinet, the grand stand proprietors having resolved not to contribute their 1,0001. to the funds in future unless the clerk of the course resigns his office ; consequently. reform there must be, even if matters are not brought to such a crisis ss this. The two-year-old rams were pretty successful, an average of seven starting for each of the three, and one of the rioters, the Doctor, was an animal of very superior quality : but the three-year-old contests were scarcely worth looking at, the Dee being reduced to a match, and the Triennial only attracting • trio of platers. Then the handicaps created no excitement—not even the Chester Cup, for which only a dozen out of the n acceptors went to the post, such • ' 'certainty" did the race appear on paper for Strada/a. The result was, however, a staggerer for all but • select few that were in the know about the French mare not being "all right," as the only here: %prom her that could be cornered ten with her , and she had twobated the w the r" bel th h e or w sea in ta traningonly a month back. How she performed is now known to every body interested in the matter, and her backers had not the least pleasure for their money, as she never went near the front from start to finish, which rested entirely between Asteroid. Haddington, and Gardener, • magnificent nu ending in favour of the toe weight by a neck. The outsider, Gardener, once looked like winning ; but he would not. perhaps, have got the stakes bad Clement screwed him in first, having rolled (from distress) towards Haddiogton at a critical point towards the finish, and so disappointed him as to prevent his winning, in the opinion of those who wit nessed the occurrence. The result must have been doubly galling to his owner, for it showed Haddington could not have lost under any circumstances, had he kept the hone especially for the race, indeed of letting him incur a 1011). penalty by aiming the Metropolitun which he to o c a re solved start Lim for after Straddle's brilliant orm axus at Newmarket, deeming it impossible to beat her even at their original Chester Cup weights. Stradella doubt less frightened =say out of the field that would have beaten Asteroid; and among them Buckatone, whine owner was so anaoyed at the result (having backecStradella for a large stake after she defeated his hone, and kept him at home) that beret for Birthstone after the race to oppose Asteroid for the Stewards' Cup on Friday, and thus satisfy himself and the world whether it was Straddle's running or not. They met at but 2lb difference in their Chester Cup weights, and Buckstone won so very easily that there can be no disputing he would have beaten Azteriod • length or two on Weduaday had he started for the great race, or that Straddle would have beaten Asteroid half a dozen la had she only run up to her previous public form. rht: her utter defeat is to be ascribed to I know not, for there was nothing in the market operations to show money was being got out of her ; sod looking at Hospoder's runnieg in the Two Thousand Gainer it is pat possible that all the Frank hones am in Queeretreet. The race did not give us the slightest insight into the Derby, nor did any other event of the meeting ; and it can hardly be expected that Bath will throw a light upon the race, for the only three.yerold event in the programme is the Eleventh Triennial, one mile and a half, which is to be decided on Tuesday . There are upwards of 50 subscribers, but out of them ooly Early Purl and Baldwin are backed for the B!ue Riba.4 and the former's starting is extremely doubtful, that of the Oaks favourite, Lady Augusta, being also no certainty. The pair an by tar the beet clue borer in the race on public form, although Lord l'almenton's horse, Baldwin, is backed for so much money for the Derby that be mast have been discovered pretty good at home, and Goiter hes made a greet mistake if be cannot beat such • lot as Wahl Cloud, the Eloot's dam colt, Gunner, Flake, Royal Stag Escape, Stockbroker, Judas, Corroborator, Sweet Willie, Watford, Gleeorchy, and Oakapple, who compere the beet of the remainder. Bright Cloud, the Elcot's dam colt, Fluke, and Escape are the Premier's most dangerous opponents, after lady Augusta ; and Baldwin should make the latter gallop to win, supposing an appearance is put in by her. The Twelfth Biennial half a mile, is for 2-yr-olds, and has a splendid entry, J ohn of Danebory being very formidable with such a lot as Caliber Moscow, Wayearey, Teneriffe, Copenhagen, the Count, and Rosalie, to choose between, for the first named performed well at Salisbury, and it is said `then are two or three superior to her in the stable. Mr. Merry will be close handy to the winner, having the slashing 'Pbemy filly sad another entered, as will be also Lord St. Vincent with Narbonne; sad Lord Stamford, baying Hypatis (a good performer), Lady of Elthani, Campana, and Camber:au in the list, hie colours must prove as hard to bees as ever, the last named having a great reputation. There will be consequently at less* four different interests well represented is the field ; sad if I have a preference it is for Lord Stamford's. The County Milieu Plate, one mile, may be won by Marius, 3 yrs, fist 71b, or Sunman., 3 yrs, fist 21h; but the three remaining events in Tuesday's programme are not yet complete, and I most eta decline interfering with more than • trio of Wedneeday's races, as previous running will be the beet guide to the arouse of the Welter and Dyrbus. park Handicaps. The Badminton ;Wakes, half a mile, has • done 2-Froths entered, of which Crytheie, fat 101 b, Ackworth. bet 10Ib, sod Tomfoolery, fist 10th, are the best we bars eau in public; a doses 3-yr-olds, Gipey Girl, Set Mb, Lady Parlous, let 104 b, Safeguard, 7st 131 b, Glenoreby, 7st 131 b, Golden Dust, lint 71b, and Livingstone, fist 10Ib, being all very fast, and three 4-yr-olds, with Bird hill, Set 11b, among them. This latter gentleman ought to keep safe all the as should also Liviaudiese ; and it may bs • very near thing between the two, fleet as is Lord Stamford's son of Fandsogo. The Weston bathes, for two-you-olds, half • mile, is subject in a great measure to the running for the Twelfth Biennial on Turley, as Molly Carew, in addition to being penalised bib, is a little "off," and it is doubtful whether the will run. In addition to her, there are Vandervelde, Diomed, Pnatitioaer, the Area filly, Garotter, the Phoney filly, Nar bonne, Inverness, and Hypatia in the list that have run well in public ; and John Day has Promenade, Es and Waveoey, besides Garotter to fall back upon, • Pe rM his selected aught to win, although Diomed's stable amp pure, Blue Bell, ia whispered a flyer, and Vanderveldg won bit race very seedy at Warwick. In the Somerseteleire Stakes, two miles, J. Day is well represented by Balkan, 5 yea, 7st 91b, and Carry, 5 yrs, 7st 31b, end W. _Day by Kupwood, 3 yea, fist llb, mid Alcestis, 3 ue, let IM. h ; rusel the firmcan hardly mks securingthe prise, considering that Canary is as well treated as he wax in the Metropolitan whoa running a good second to Haddiegtoo, and looks very like • certainty.

However, in the sheers of Molly threw I would sooner trait to • pair like Clairvoyants and Lady Nichol, the former being an psealised, notwithstanding he is a winner in good company. Only pLters have accepted for the Harpenden Handicap, two miles, sod Flirt:Amu, 5 us, fist Sib, or Amy, 5 yr s , • died 511), may be good enough to beat the field.-1 am, he., lirreoa.

THI Nzw Cantina Souannott.—Our Liverpool correspondents have obtained some particulars relative to the vessels which have been building by Marra. Lair, Brothers, of Birkenhead, for the squadron that Captain Staf raid Osborne has been forrniog in this country for the Emperor of China. The Tientsin, iron screw gunboat, which has bra completed within the last few weeks, measures 150 feet in length, 25 in breadth, 12 ft. 8 in. in depth, and her Menage is 450 a. N. She is entirely of iron, very strong, and her general fittings and armament are armaged after the plan of the most approved veomle oft her rue in the Entre rvy. Her engines ere a pair of direct acting hori zontal screw eogioes of 80-hone power, far which Myra Lid retread • prize medal at the international Exhibition last year. Messrs. Laird have lately supplied duplicates of these Nagler to her Marty's government for the gunboats Jaeeur and Newport. The Tientsin is armed with one 8816 pivot gun, end four 321 b. broadsides, while her decks are arranged to receive another pivot-gun if requited. The Tisntsiu MAIMS (fully laden, with stave, coal. Jr.) 94 knots per hour. She is under the charge of Commander Nicole, and sailed from Falmouth for Hoag Hoeg last week. The Quartung, an iron paddle-wheel steam gunboat, is another read which has bra built by Messrs. Laird for the Chinese squadron. Her length te 185 feet, width 24 feet, depth 12 feet 3 inches, and tamer (n.a.) 522. She is entirely of iron, divided into water tight compartmenta ; and her bow is made particularly strong, with a projection below the water which will nerve ea a run. The ship is am.ed with one 88-pound pivot-gun ' forward; or 32-pound Whitworth pivot-sun aft • four 32- pound broadside gnus ; one 24-pound howitzer, besides the usual hoar, guns. The crew consist' of about 90 men. During her trial trip the speed of the finangtung, with the two after boilers shut off entirely, was I knots, the mines making 18 revolutions. At • previous trial, when the earl was in light trim, she mimed • mean meed of over 13 knots, the riper m aking 38 to 37 revolutions with an indicated horse-power of 7W. The Quengtorig shipped her powder is the Mersey on Thursday, and sailed the same evening for Falmouth.

An Admiralty order has been forwarded to each of the government dockyards to the effect that, la conse quence of there being an anemias of 1,000 men beyond the established number allowed in the royal dockyard, by an Order in Council of June, 1850, notioe is to be given to all apprentices that after serving their time they cannot be entered on the establishment, but may be retained as hired workmen, should they prefer it, to being discharged. The whole of the apprentiose at this dockyard were yesterday assembled by Commodore Superintendent Sir F. W. E.

OONNAIDER WARREN'S Bow-Sitmureu RUDDER. —Cap- Lin Pigtail, the naval attaché to the French embamy Leaden, has visited Portsmouth during the past week to Moped, on behalf of the French government, the working of Commander Frederick Warren's boweteering rudder, which has been temporarily fitted to one of the Portsmouth and Hyde steam-packets. The vessel, when going a-heed or astern, was steered with equal facility, sad was enabled by the simultaneous use of both rudders to complete a circle in lam than twice the distance of her own length. Its pro- bable that daring the ensuing week the experiments will be repeated in the presence of Captain his Serene Highness the Prince of Leinisgen, 01112111/A&C of the royal yacht. The Lords of the Admiralt have given orders for the rudder to be fitted to the Sharps hooter for expetimental purposed, but the work proceeds very slowly. b M Y L M MaP r. n i t u 'w• of rt, Rills opfleni ll"" n, &ta t' im nd alain , throt iala telescri, "P, velw aggr 2sl e- .; gate value 21/.: by Mr. Kadin, rifle maker, aymarket, a ag e , g 5/.

TBB NUADIIR BY A 941W1 AT LIVERPOOL. Benjamin Thomas , seaman, was charged before the Liverpool magi/testis, on Satu rday, with the murder of Mee. /dory Rowlands, wife of • sea captain, sad the keeper of • mikes' boarding-ho is Brook-street, Old Hall-street. Thomas lodged at Mrs. Rowlands' house, and it appeared that he had been shipped as • seaman on board the emigrant ship Shactiamaoon, which is at present lying in the Mersey, outward bound, with cotton operatives on board for Queensland. After shipping, Thomas received an advance note, which wee cashed by Mew. Rowlands on Thursday. Mrs. Rowlande, suspecting that the prisoner intended to desert the vessel, eodeevcouvid to keep him in the house until the day appointed for sailing, and employed • man named Croesthwsite to assist her. Croeathwaite stated that be had the greatest difficulty in doing 03, as Thomas was fully aware of the object for which this restraint was put upon him. On Friday, between 12 and 2 o'clock, • slater of the deceased, Ellen Moreau, who resided in the same street, went to Mrs. Ro wlands' house, and saw the and the deceased together. Thomas was e eavouring to get out, and the deceased was baud to say—" No, you must not go , you must go on board." Some fu rther altercation took place, after which Morris left the house. At this time, a servant who was staying at Mrs. Rowlaods' place, Elizabeth Benbow by name, came is, and Morris left the prisoner and the two women together. Soon afterwards it appeared that Thomas became very much excited, and after walking about the room restlessly for • little time he went down into the cellar and called to Mrs. Rowlao de to come to him, saying, "I want you." She went down, leaving Benbow in the parlour by herself. While Mrs. Rowlands and Thomas were together below Benbow heard no outcry, or indications of a struggle, tot in a short time afterwards Thomas came up with a savage grin on his face, seised Nohow by the hair, and beat her so violently about the head with a potato masher, that had it not been for timely interference she would have been mur dered. Her screams, however, brought severzilople to the spot, and the prisoner was compelled to while Benbow was promptly removed to the Northern Hospital, where she now lies under medical care. Upon an examiaa tics of the cellar the body of Mn. Rowlands was discovered lying upon the Boor in a pool of blood, sad with her skull literally smashed until the brains had protruded. The murder had evidently been committed with the mine weapon which Thomas bad weed with such fearful effect also upou Benbow. The prisoner attempted to Eska his escape. but was arrested shortly afterwards by • police officer. After evidence to the above affect had bees= the prisoner was remanded for elven days. We have mentioned that a female named Evans, who interfered on Booboo's behalf, was also brutally assailed by Thomas. THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-MAT 9. &ttings at Nisi Prins at Wastminitar.— (Before Mr. Baron Martin and Oommoa Juries.) ATIENB AND ANOTILIN tl. BOUCIOAULT. This was an action against the lessee of the Westminster Theatre, lately known as AltolOy% to recover 1654 for a fountain need in the Christmas pantomime. Mr. Serjeant Shea and Mr. Gates were counsel for the plaintiffs ; and Mr, O'Malley, Q.C., and Mr. 801 l for the defendant. —.— It appeared that in'November, 1862, Mr. Boucicault went, with Mr. Roberta, the manager of the scenery department, to the shop of the plaintiffs, who are engineers and fouls. tain makers in Fleet-street, and entered into an arrange ment with them for the purchase of the fountain in ques- tion. After being used for a few nights it met with an ao cident, and was packed up with the view of being used far another building which the defendant contemplated erect ing. Ultimately a dispute arose between the parties, and the defendant refused to pay on the ground that the plain tiffs had broken their contrast. Mr. Baron Martin asked what was the particular matter in dispute. Mr. O'Malley said Mr. Bonet=lt complained that the fountain WAS of no use, and bad not been delivered within the specified time. Mr. Baron Martin said as that was n o defence to the pre sent action, and could only be made the subject of a crime action, he would suggest that the parties should agree to refer the whole matters in dispute to some gentleman in whom they both had confidence. This course wee ultimately adopted, a verdict being taken for the plaintiffs, and power being given to the arbitrator to name the sum to which he thought the defendant wee fairly entitled by way of deduction from the claim.

There had been " a little unpleasantness" with the Excise about it, and witness bad taken the whole onus of the affair upon himself. His uncle had promised to give him 204 for his conduct on that occasion, but in point of fast he had received nothing from him. The jury, after consulting for nearly an boar and a half, found a verdict for the husband on all the imam THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. James Snoad Laws, litiaiOirryierg on the trade of wise merchant in Mincing-lane, appeared on Saturday in answer to his tail before Mr. didemin Hake who was sitting for the Lord Mayor, to undergo • further examination upon a change of fraudulently obtaining on credit, within three months of his bankruptcy, under the pretence of carrying on his trade, a quantity of wine, to the amount of about 600 f.. from Messrs. OMey and Ca, wine merchants, and also with having un lawfully pledged and disposed of the mama otherwise than in the ordinary course of trade. Mr. Telford Salter, instructed by Messrs. Sharpe, appeared to prosecute ; Mr. J. R. Miller attended to watch on behalf of another creditor; and Mr. Lewis appeared fur the de fendant. _ _ The facts of the cue as they appeared from the last ex amination were as follows :—The defendant was formerly a partner of the firm of Laws and Collins, in Idol-lane, and about 1861 be retired from that firm and took cellars in Mincing-lane, where be transacted business on his own account. In February, 1862, he applied to Messrs. Offley to allow him to have of them a quantity of wme, reprinenting that he wanted to put it down in his new cellars. Know ing that he had taken some new cellars, under those re presentations Messrs. Offley supplied him with wine to the amount of 600/., and for which they were to draw at six months. The delivery orders for the wines were handed to the defendant, and the next day the warrants were procured from the docks. Os the sth May, 1862, the defendant filed a petition in the Bankr u p tcy Court, and it was ascertained that he had not the wine in him cellar at all as be represented he was about to do, but had deposited the warrants with Kern. Norris and Chaplin, wine brokers, as security for advances of money. Mr. Chaplin, of the firm of Mews. Norris and Chaplin, was examined on Saturday, and he proved having received the warrants in question. They had been deposited as se aurity—they having advanced 6001. on the defendant's ae. mitten= It easels° proved that the defendant sold some of the Win, to a Mr. Jones, wine merchant, of Windsor, on the 4th March, 1862, the warrant being at that time in the hands of Mr. Chaplin, and be received Mr. Jones's accep tance for the price of the wine, together with the duty, as well as the duty of some sherry which had been previously purchased, but Mr. Jones never received either the wine he purchased on the 4th March nor that pur chased previously, which the prisoner promised should be sent up the next day. The acceptances had been discounted. Mr. Jones had to meet them, although he bad not had the wines. There was another cue gone into, in which it appeared that the defendant obtained wine to the amount of 2501. front Messrs. Farley and Boyce, wine merchants, of 79, Great Tower-street, under the pretence of putting them in his new cellar, and having obtained the warrants, he had deposited them with Mews. Harvey and Sons,wine brokers, 77, Great Tower-street. Neither Masan. Offley nor ileum Farley bad been paid for their goods. The prisoner was again remanded, being admitted to bail. Saimaa luallas or 7111 Ray. Da. RAF7IIB. Much interest and anxiety have been felt during the lest few days among all damn in Liverpool occasmeed by the illness of the Rev. Dr. Baffles, who. for seversl days put, we regret to state, has been confined to bed. Be woo to have taken • leading pert in the openieg ceremony of the nonconformist burying ground in the new cemetery, on hlooday last ; but an attack of Blues t not at fi rst considered of a serious nature, prevented him from attending. Since then we are awry to learn that.,his sy caroms have become in some measure alarming, and such as to occasion anxious concern to his friends and numerous well wisher,. The reverend and greatly-respected gentleman has reached the venerable lige of aeventy.tive years. About a year ago he completed ha fiftieth year as • minister in this town; and on that jubilee OCCSOiOII he was promoted with a testimonial expomeive of the general sense of his worth and usefulnese.—Liserpoot . . . o Dr.craucrive FlRM—Yesterday morning, about 2 o'clock, a fire broke out in the extensive range of premises belonging to Messrs. Buckley, steam mw-mill proprietors, situate in Rodoey-buildings, New Kent-road. A serious accident occurred to Lieutenant Beecher, who was in attend ance with one of the steam engines. As he was arranging the " cross bead of the piston rods" some one turned the steam on at full preeture, which set the machine in full work, and the rod pressed with such force upon Mr. Beecher's right hand as to cause the iron work to snap asunder, and besides frightfully injuring the hand, the broken portion of the rod struck him over one of the eyes. He instantly re paired, at the direction of Mr. Hodges, to a neighbouring surgeon sod had his wounds dressed, but it is feared that he will lose the power of his band. Captain Shaw, in his of report, describes the damage done by the fire as fol lows :—" Rodney-buildings, New Kent-rd 4 Meagre. Buck ley, steam saw-mill proprietors and timber merchants, brick and timber build inp of twodoors in height, 60ft. loogand 30ft. wide, and machinery, destroyed. Stock in open yerd,LiOlt.

COTTON GOODS.—MANCHESTER, Mar 9.—There h been a gradual and steady improvement in this market during the week, which evinces • higher degree of confi dence on the part of the trade than has existed for some time past. There has been no excitement to cause a rush among buyers, but there bas been • pretty evident desire among shippers of both yarn and cloth to India, and China to make purchases where prices have been at all moderate. In cloths for India sales are reported in the wider makes of 45 and 54 inches as well as in 39-40 inch shirting& Of the latter widths sales hare not been so much confined to the lighter weights, but there has been some business in 841 b. shirting.. Buyers for the home trade are not active, but are doing rather morethan of late, and buyers for most markets who have lately abstained from operating have shown more anxiety to buy within the last day or two, probably in fluenced by the feeling that there is every indication of a strengthening of prices. In fact, with the demand which has lately sprung up, and seeing the extent to which the market has been cleared of stocks, sellers have great en couragement to demand somewhat higher rate.. 'The large business done at Liverpool in cotton, reported yesterday at 62,000 bales for the week, but now found to have been 90,000, with a rise of id. to id. per lb., tends also to give a riming tendency to the market. The demand for yarns during the week has been fur nearly all markets, including a good business for the home trade in 32's to 60's cops ; and counts and qualities suitable for India, the Mediterranean, and Germany have been to a fair extent. The buyers for Germany, however, have bought sparingly. WOOLLEN CLOTll.—Luuns, KAY 9.—The whets this morning were thinly attended, and only a small amount of business transacted ; the main demand was for job lots of thin fabrics in plain and fancy meltons, • taw of which were disposed of at a low figure. Little else wan done, and the White Market was very quiet. HARDWARE.—Briumsonals, Ilia 9. There is a alight lull in the state of trade in this town as compared with its oondition a month ago ; but although the orders coming in are small, there is no stoppage for want of them at any of the manufactories. At the rolling mills there is rather more doing, and in all other of the principal trades the men are working full time. Whatever of dallier exists seem to be coofined to some of the slight staple trades For fancy goods the orders have also beea small of late, but there are few instances in which the manufaetruers are making up goods for stock, and we have a further indication that trade is not bad in the fun of most of the out•workees from the manufactories being well employed. The Mate of particular bombes of the tracie of the town ia much the same as it was a week ago.) For cabinet and general boss-foundry the orders have been better of late ; there has also been • good demand for builders' ironmongery ; the platers are well off for orders ; the hollow-ware trade Is also pretty good ; the button trade, though anything but brisk, is much better than it has beers in the spring for the last two years. The principal tube makers and edge-tool makers are working full time. The strike of the puddler' in this iron district continues. In the course of the week the men employed at the weeks where no strike has taken place have intimated that if the tu . si t i:re whose works are standing are supplied with barefrom the works at which operations have cuddled cm, they will ooasider that aground for a strike so far as they are cohoerned. If this threat is carried out without the usual fortnight's notice being given the men will of course render themselves saamalde to the law, sad it is not likely that the employers who suffer will be slow to hat it in force. The strike, partial as it is, is • nuisance, ving now lasted five week', and there appears to be but little prospect of its termination ; the course which they have taken is so unreasonable that it is not improbable there will be a general lock-out by the employers themselves.
