XIL GLAISBER'S FIFTEENTH DALLOON .I.,, , CENT FOB SCIENTIFIC runrusis. TO THE EDITOR OF Tar EXPRESi. Sts,—The place of ascent was Wolverhampton, where we have obtained the beet gas for our purpose, pre pared by Mr. Prowl, the eminent engineer of the gas woi km. Crest interest has always beau taken be the direetoLa of these gas works, to whom I beg to offer my best thanks. The only member of the committee present to sanction arrangements and witness the ascent was Last Wrotteeley, who was on the ground between six ►nd ones o'clock, laving sent his assistant to help me at a still earlier hoar. The dates of the greater number of my ascents are in the slimmer imi.ths. It is necessary that similar experiments be made in all seasons ; the earliest in the year I have made is March illst. ten days after the spring equinox, and the committee of the British Association was anxious to have corresponding observations about the time of the autumnal equinox to compare with them. On leaving, the sky was cloudy, with the wind S.W., varying to W.S. W. On looking down there was a general whit ; higher up it appeared in very straight lines in some places, and diffused in others; when at the height of one soils, although we had pawed through no clouds, a general layer of clouds was below and clouds were very high above. The balloon was quite full at a mile in height ; above this there were a few faint gleams of light. On passing I above two miles we could see two distinct layers of clouds below ns, and dense clouds still above. The view here was much above my powers of description; there was present every variety of cloud, in some places moat harmoniously grouped, but the very hasty glances, and but few moments I could spare from my instruments, do not enable,me to do justice to so grand a scene. In some places white cumuli clouds appeared resting on the ground, like huge swans ; a different kind of cumulus detached had somewhat the appearance of a simultaneous discharge of heavy ordnance. In one place I counted twelve of these, and in another thirty. No um was shining upon us, but between the first and second layer the sun was shioisg, and the illuminated earth looked like • beautiful garden. Some slate-coloured clouds were carved, resting on a base of cumulus. On some clouds there was a beautiful blue tinge ; over SOW. portions of the landscape a deep violet tinge. The shadows of high clouds upon low mist were very one. Mist was seen rising vertically from the earth, and smoke from towns and villages to the height of a mile, but with very little horizontal motion. On deecendiog the shadow of t►e balloon traversing the fields and roads was very dark and Lotman At this time, while passing over the Molds, we disturbed • very large number of hares and se►eral foxes, which ran wildly away. Not a single par tridge rose, although we afterwards learned they were The bailee left at 7h. 43m. ; in two minutes we were 500 feet above the lath ; 1,000 feet at 7h. 47m. ; 2,000 feet at 7h. 52m. ; two miles at Bh. 30m. ; about two mile. and a ball from Bh. 45m. to 9h. Bm. ; near two miles and three garters from 9h. 15m. to 9h. 23m , and reached the highest point. wii. 31 miles, at 9b. 3dm. On desoading, we were 33 miles high from 9h. 33m. to , OA 52m. ; 21 miles at 9h. 59m. ; two miles at 10h. 4m. ; mile at 10h. 9m. ; one mile ►t 1014. 13m. ; 3,000 feet salt' at 105. 131 m. ; 1,000 fest at 10h. '23na. ; and on the ground at 10h. 30m. The temperature of the air on the ground had increased from 43 dep. at 76. a.m. to 48 degs. at 7b. 43m., when we left; it then declined immediately, being 43 dep. at 1,000 Gut ; 40 dep. at 3,000 feet ; 34 degs, at the height , of ore mile ; 97 dogs. at 11 mile ; 21 dep. at two miles. A quick &ciao then took place, the thermometer readies being WI low as 12 degs. ►t 21 mass, at which height we imetinual a quarter of hour, the temperature first increasing he 171 dells. at 811. 55m., and t►ea gradually decreasing to 14 dep. at 9h. 59e5., when there was a sudden decrease of 3 digs. in two mieutes, which was sensibly felt by Mr. Coxwell sod myself. On pining above 21 miles, the tees pasture increased to 18 dep. at 9h. Bm. ; then deceased to 12 dep. at 9h. 15m. ; still further to 7 dep. at 9h. 23as. ; sad jest about sere at 9h. 32m. Oa descending, the temperature varied from 7 dep. to 15 dapt at the height of 23 miles between Oh. 3Om. end fit. 5.2 m. ; it was 17 dega. at 941. 59ra. ; 22 dogs. at 10h. 4a; 31 dep. at 101 t. 9m. ; was 35 dep. at 1 mile; 40 dep. at 3,000 feet ; 50 at about 1,000 feet ; and was 53 dep. on th. ground. The temperature of the dew point (or that temperature at which the water mixed with the air I. the invisible shape of vapour, becomes visible es dew; being deposited upon the bright surfaces of the hygrometers, which have been previously cooled down by the application of ether) wee 44 dept on the ground ; 33 dep. at 2,003 feet high ; Zr dep. at 1 mile ; 20 digs. at 24 miles; and varied at this level between this point and 12 dep., being at times the same as the temperature of the air ; thus indieatiag that at this elevation the air wee partly saturated in some phew, and wholly so in others. Passing above this level the dew point dammed to 10 dogs. below zero ; the air was not saturated bat •pproeelled more newly to thatetate than I hare usually experienced et this elevation. On descending, the tem perature 'named, end was 46 dogs. on reaching the ground. On the earth the weight of the water actually present in the air wee guise • cubic fool. ht the height of 2,000 feet then were 2} grains ; at *simile 1 j grain ; and at 3} mike lees than half a grain. The degree of the humidity of the air represents the rela tive quantity of water present I. the atmosphere, supposing the imbed amount which could be present at the then tem perature of the air ea divided into 100 parts. Oa the ground. sad up to 1,000 feet, this w a 90; at one mile was 72, and varied front 70 to 100 up to the highest point reached. ACTIECOMETSIC grrtcra or THE au:ea Lira. On the morning of Monday. at 11 a.m., the force of the ma's rays, as shown by Herchers aetbsometer, at Wrottes. by Otessuitory, was 48 divisions in owe minute ; and at the pas works it wee afterwards found to be forty-seven divi sions is on minute, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, trims the sun was low, the increase was 25 divisions in the name apace of time. Thew wu no opportunity of rending this instrument in the balloon till 9h. 4m.. when the increase* in one minute, with a bright sun, was five divisions, this result was obtained again at 9h. dm. ; this increase wee seven divisions at 9h. 19m.: and seven or eight divisions occasionally between lb. 29m. sad 9h. 49m. At 10b. 71a., it was 20 division in a zainnto, at 10b. 19w. was 25 divisions, and on the gross& at 10b. 45w. was 48 divinities.

In pretsioas ascents I hays contented myself with • Nogretti's self-registering blackened bulb thermometer in mem with its bulb projecting &need the car so as to be la the beams of the sun, resulting in all oases that it sever read so high as before having the earth, sod whomever examined sad reset indicating • reeding but little removed from those of the shaded thermometers. On this occasion I had as delicate a hlstkened bulb thermometer as the shaded thermometers themselves , and se placed as to be fully in the nys of the sun, and storeys nadir my eye. The resdinp of the two thermometers were Ideating till 9h. 4dm whoa faint gleams of the sun caused thsblack bulb to read 4 deg. above that of the air ; or losing them it to that of the air; again faint gleams fell mw it occasionally between 9h. 23m. and 10h. 23m., mowing an renew of 2 deg. or 3 dn. On reaching the height of 3 miles and above, the sun shone brightly ; the blackened bulb read from 2 deg. to 4 deg. only, no excess of the okuled thermometers. On &mending at 9h. 49m. this exams was 4 deg., in anosed to 5 deg. at 101. 11m., to 8 deg. at 10h. and to 30 deg. on the ground. Owooe pawn, by Mr. Lowe, of different proportions, were abumlantiv spread about the rigging, and were not coloured at all throughout the Janney. Orme powder., by Mr. Lowe, made of wheat starch and iodide of potassium mixed three months ago, were slightly tinged when first opened, and were unchanged st the height of one mile ; it then increased in colour, and con tinued to ini.rease till noticed sae dh. 57m. when it was es dark an 4 on a male of 10. The balloon on leaving was loaded with moisture and sesa slowly ; when at the bright of one mile we bad to pert with sand to keep us on that level, and elterwards mere to enable us to amend. At Pb. 2m. the temperature was 32 dep., toe beginni ng to form all over the balloon. and as we ruse slowly there were 'muscat jerk. or creeks coming from the bellow, awing meth anxiety aid the utmost watchfulness.

THE EXPRESS, MON DA ;V ENING, OCTOBER 5, 1863. redly afterwards we saw the coast from Yarmouth nearly to Hull, with the indeetetion of the Wash, towards which we found we were moving, and from whence, at an estimated dietuoce, we were then ten miles. .1 consultation was held, and it was plain that we must descend. The valve was opined, but the balloon rose, and it required every free use of the valve to get the balloon to turn to descend. As we came down the wind changed, blowing towards the north, passed north of Grantham, and thee moved with great rapidity toward Sleaford. At this time we saw the trees greatly agitated, and it was evident that the descent would be a rough one. I packed up the instruments with wadding, and we both prepared for some bumps. When at the elevation of 150 feet, pass ing very quickly, we had to throw out baud to avoid a farmhouse, and could not come down where we ...imbed. Au open country wee before us ; the grapnel failed to hold, and broke through a hedge ; we struck the earth, and re bounded to strike again ; the grapnel passed through the light earth without exercising any influence; we broke through a hedge, and everything loose in the car bounded abLut, much to our discomfiture. The balloon stood the beating about wonderfully, and no rent appeared at all till she came violently down on the earth, when we perceived a long tear come up from the place where she struck on the ground. The two sides stood out like wings. All the upper part of the balloon remised netil fluidly • great rent passed up to the valve, when I expected all would drop down, but for the space of a minute the great valve, with its heavy springs, held 50 feet high in the air, whilst the whole balloon opened out in one immense sheet, and kiteace kept up for perhaps not more than • minute, to me is appeared • much more considerable length of time ; it then gradually fell to the ground. It was most painful to see the noble balloon which had carried us so well so much injured. I opened my packages to see, as I expected, the cli&ris of all the instruments, but to my intense surprise discovered but few broken, the greater part remaining uninjured. As to ourselves, we bad,:of course, • few bruises, but none of any consequence. The inconveniences of this descent were, perhaps. as small as could be expected in morning &scenic made about the time of the equinox. At the extreme elevatioe Yr. Coxwell assisted me in filliog two begs with air for Professor Tyndall. and he saved me much time by watching the blackened bulb of Daniel's hygrometer. Our place of descent was Temple Bruer, six miles N. W, of Sleaford, oe the farm of D. Blackburn, Esq., to whom we are indebted, and to whom our best thanks are due for the kindest hospitality, for sending the isstrumeuts and the balloon in his own conveyance and °erosive' in his own carriage to the Slesford station.

COTTON GOODS. Ilescazarn, Oar. 3.-So far as cloth is concerned pines appear to have reached a point which causes much hesitation amongst buyen, end the business done during the week now elating has been on a very limited wale. Nevertheless, the quieter state of the cotton market afforded grounds for believing that business was more practicable than it was last week, and merchants have availed themselves freely of the opportunity for test ing prices. The inquiries foe India qualities of long cloths end T cloths have been rather active, and where sellers have been moderately ressoesble have led to beanie... We bear oleo of some good tootrecui to make T cloths having been entered into. The inquiry bas extended to nearly all descriptions, but the manufacturers generally are firm in price and asking rather higher rates than last week, which checks openitions. There has been rattier mere activity in yarns, and a fair business was done in the earlier pert of the week. The chief purchases were in mule yarns for India (especially 40's) end in water twist for China. Some fair parakeets were also reported in hard twist for the Mediter ranean. During the last few days there has been lent doing, owing to the advanced miss which spinners have been ask ing, but there has been some besieges in cop for manu facturers, many of whom have ceased to spin for them selves, fiodieg toot owing to the Tertian mixtures made with °ottani. and from other circumstances, they can suit themselves better by coming into the open market. During the month yarns have you, up 3d. to 4d. per lb., end cloth In proportion, but Notwithstanding this advisees the pro- ductiou is nearly all absorbed as fast as it comes forward, nod some heavy contracts are still in comas of delivery. WOOLLEN CLOTHS.—Lkims, OCT. 3.—Au average amount of busies= was transacted in the halls this morn ing. There was a fair attendance both of buyers and manufacturers. In the ooloared market tweeds to rule the demand, several large parcels changing bands. Stout melttos and eattaras were also in considerable request. The white market was scarcely so animated an of late ; a few bairliata were transferred, and the inquiry for witneya, and other similar makes continued. Bates remain firm. HARDWARE.-11nurnmsak, Ocr. 3.—Tbe trade of this tows is still characterised by a certain amount of quietude ; in the course of the week a few orders have bees given out on account of next quarter, but the home trade is slow to move, and goods are still ordered in small queen ties only. If this portant animation so far as manure°. torero are cooosroed, it must tend to keep trade steady, inasmuch as the actual demand for goods does not very much fluctuate, and shopkeepers hare no stocks to fall back upon. But ootwAbstanding this absence of anything ap proaching to animation, there are few manufacturers who are not doing sufficient business to keep their men sad 'machinery pretty well employed, without making up goods for stock. Amongst the jewellers. and in the fancy trades generally, • certaio amount of slackness is felt, but that is sot as unusual occurrence at this period of the year. The gun trade is also in a state of extreme depression, a large number of the workmen baring literally nothing to do. The foreign trade is quiet, but it can scaroely be mid to be more so than usual at this time of the year. There have been a few orders recently given out on lawman of the Eastern markets, mad the Spanish trade is steady. To America there is scarcely anything doing. The quarterly meetings of the iroomastere will commence next NVraiiiesday at Wcdverkamptoe ; it is most likely to be • quiet quarter-day, consumers much doubting whether the new scale of prices will be maintained, cousequently they will avoid ordenng except just sufficiently to meet require ments for immediate use; the doubts thus felt arising from what has taken place at • resent meeting of the irousoasten in North Slatioeshire, the too. at which was rather demo restore of the recent advance of 210 s. made in the South. The Poor-law rotary/ for this perish for the past week show an increase of in-door poor of 166, and a decrease of out door paupers of 175.

Professor Kingsley attended a harvest home held tut week at Swallo "field (Berks), where he preached from the five last verve of the 144th Psalm, the of the psalms of the morning. He began by compariag the state of the parish with that of its beginning, when the first West Saxon settled in the field, or open lawn in the forest, and tilled his " hide" of land with a wretched plough, with the help of slaves, and fed his striae in the forest awl his cattle in the marshes. Exposed to frost to foul diseases from foul food, to famine, to war, to the desolations of Dues and Normans, lie had struggled on with his sons who cleared the forest with him, till the forest grew to • village. The residents some fivejhundred yeaSs ago had built that very church, because they dared Dot go to Shinfield Chinch for fear of robbers. Amid all thevaiges had thriven. always meudieg till now. What would the old forefathers say if they could risefrozo their graves, and ems more wealth is that oDe plinth than there had ones been in half of Berk shire ?—every available acre of land sown with crops, some of them unknown to them, sad rich sad poor, ineterd of standing aloof as tauter and slave, meeting together as friends, to thank God fora harvest which would to the old Weems men have seemed the work of magicieth. And how bed the perish thus thrives? Because Englishmen had always tried to obey the text, v. 11, and hated vanity, and frivolity, and iniquity and injustice. They had not hese • merry, hut an worth shoe, thinking deeply, sad trying to do what they knew. They had been a just race, too ; making just laws and obeying them. And thus English earnest ness and English *ties had made England What she was. Not only so, they led felt that blamed was the people who "Lad the Lord for their God," v. 17. They had planted In every parish the church to be the centre said heart of the pariah—a heart which should beat, not with love of money, or love of glory, but with love to God and man. The rev. gentlemen then bade his bearers remember that they stood on the results of 1,200 yam of patient and honest labour,and thank God on such • day as this for their forefathers, for every man who bed ever tilled a fresh acre, or made a ring fume ; and above aft for those as the Cominuaioci Service lade them), who hail departed in the faith and fear of Christ, leaving children Derry on the work of peagrsw, physical and spiritual. Most of all, they were to Walk God—to thank Him (as the Gam mud°. Service also bide them) for Hie great glory ; in being what He was, a good God—a Father and • giver. He bade them remember that all they had, even the plough, the living seed, the weather, the human intellect, were the gifts of God. And he bade them show their gratitude far that gift by remembering not only their forefathers but their demendasta ; remembering that God willed their wee gross and happiness determining to train up their lOW upright as young plants, and their daughters pure ae the polished marbles of the temple ; that so when they died, their children might airy on the good work without= or complaining is the streets ; and that so fairer might be gathered is, when they were dead and gene, sad their descendants meet is the old chareh with still gleam consciences, and still happier" Harvest homes." The rev. gentleman at the feast which was afterwards held. Sir C. Russell in the chair, proposed the health of the employers of labour. In the course of his remarks he said be had bees in past years and still felt much interested in all questions connected with the country, and especisily with the labouring man, for whom he bed done all he could when he considered him neglected or wronged in any way. It was therefore • sincere pleuras to him to come into • perish, where, if be was inclined to sniff and meat about for something to God fault with, be could not discover it. (Cheers.) 1 t was • great comfort to one who, though not old, was old enough to recollect very deck times, especially is the astern oceurties. He remembered the rick thro ngs sad the sky red with nightly fine, when no mss knew what wou ld happen next, and when • deep wall of hatred and suspicion existed between the farmer and the labourer, and the landlord, and both. No man seemed to know what would be the end of that state of things. He was speaking at thirty years ego, and what • comfort it was to witness the change that had come over country society is England lithe that period. He had always be lieved that matters would ultimately be right ; that John BnU's heart was sound ; that when the distress arid suf fering which had arises from the French war had passed over, then would be the rune fellow feeling between mak sad rank, and the same belief in the old proverb, „ A tan', a wee for all that ;" and that, too, there would again exist all that had made England prosperous and great for hun dreds of years. What he expected was right sad true, and now after the sorrows and troubles which prevailed from 1810 tolB3o hid passed over, they found landlord sod faunae mad labourer meeting under the woe test, without, he be lieved, • reel grudge, or a real complaint of either against the other. if here might be personal complaints of this private individual against that private individual, but as a class agaiost a clam they did not complain of each other. We had specimen, of each clue inferior to others, but the majority were trying to do their date honestly and faithfully by each other where God - had put them. He was bon and bred among farmers end country squires, and bad lived among them all his life, and the more he lived among them the more he leaned to re. then and hoover them, and to see what sterling qualities were in them. Without our squires ad farmers he be lamed England would be quite a different place to what it was sow. We had the best isobternas and minim clam in Barope, for the simple reason that they had ell the *dean. togas which birth, sad wealth, and rank ovoid give them, while they were recruited from below, and had fresh blood thrown into them by men who. by talent and integrity, rase into the ranks of squires and owner of land, sod even noblemen. So long es the English aristocracy embraced these who rose from below they need not be afraid. In oar farmers we had • edam of men that were to be found in no other part of Europe—riven who kept their place, and did not want to rise above it—who knew their places, respected others. ad expected to be respected them selves. The independence and integrity of the British farmer was that which struck foreigners with astonish ment ; and one of the most clever American writers had remarked that os going into Oxford market he saw farmers there who formed a clam such as did Dot exist in the United States—a clans healthy. strong, and mlf.depethent, with a perfect cootentedneer about them all, which made him fancy they were a much finer clays then any agriculturists they had in America. By some, however, it had been said that the British farmer was a man of shallow intellect, who would not move with the times, and did not nodentand pro gress. bet reyaired to be poked op behind with one of his pitchf teri—uid made to go a little faster. The gestlemes of • sertaln school who talked is that way would have dose well to have sat down and spent a few bows la getting up a history of British agriculture, and thou they would see whether the British farmer was not • go-ahead urea. Professor Knees* then dwelt upon the great improvements which had bees made io the science of agriculture, sad maintained also that farmers were excelled by no dams 01 the 'community in their Chrietian feelings towards those employed by them.

Edward hard, a oommission agent, was charged before Alderman Copeland with couipiriog to defraud Mr. Leaman. a merchaut of Aldersgate-street, of goods to the value of 250/., and with stealing other goods to the value of 2UOL Mr. Morgan (firm of Rumphreys and Morgan) conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Maynard (from Mr. Beard's office) the dormice. Miss Partridge, erho lived opposite the prosecutor's pre mier, stated that she knew the prisoner from seeing hint (wig to and from Mr. laversaa's warehouse on business. On cos occasion after the premises were dosed the saw the prisooer apparently unlocking the door, which he eventually upend and then entered the warehouse. Thep was another man with hint, but he remained outside. The o • shortly afterwards brought out two large parcels goods, one of which he handed to his companion sad they both walked away. Mr. Leversoe said be bad been in the habit of doing business with the prisoner, but he was never in his employ. He had no authority to enter the premises after they were closed, or to remove any of the goods. Alfred Cotton, assistant to Mr. Russell, • pawnbroker, of Fore-street, deposed that prisoner pledged at their shop five pieces of doeskin on the 29th of August last, sod that he redeemed them on the 9th of September. lin. Smith, the wife of the prosecutor'i clerk, who had absconded, was called to prove that the prisoner was acting in collusion with her husband to plunder the prosecutor, and she stated that they were together on the evening previous to the day her husband disappeared. Mr. Morgan said he bad some difficulty with the pawn brokers, who not only declined to a ff ord the officers any in formation on the subject, but had also refused to attend. lie therefore asked for a remand. Mr. Maynard said no goods had been produced, and those referred to had not been in any way identified; so that abate wan not a tittle of evidence to detain the prisoner ulion• Mr. Mania said there was an officer of the D division present with a warrant for the prisoner's apprehension on • charge of unlawfully pawning • large quantity of silk handkerchiefs. Alderman Copeland, having inspected the warrant, de cided upon remsoding the prisoner for • week. and declined to admit him to bails BOW-STREET. . Impeder Walker, of the C distils)°, appeared to a sum mon charging him with assaulting the Rev. R. Hibbs Mr. Wontner appeared for the defendant. The Rev. Richard Hibbs, 14, St. John's-place, Regent's park, mid I am a clergyman of the church of Ragland. On , &y last. at about a quarter to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, on the east side of Waterloo-place, I was preaching, and bad been preaching for near►y an hour. Defendant came up. 1 do sot know whether any covetable was with him. While turning round I found myself pushed by him. This via after I had in vain tried to elicit from him what I was doing contrary to the law. Theo he said, " You must go away," or some such weeds. I did not continue pewsking. but only spoke to people to ask them to be wit nesses. Mr. Hibbs proweded tocall the magistrate's attic. doe to two points of law. The act relating to street musi cians seemed to show that the law contemplated the assem bly of ponces to hates, for, of course, musicians were not supposed to play only to the air. If people might assemble to hoar music, surely they might to hear she Word of God. He also contended that as, in the case of preachers, the Aker was not justified in taking any person in custody unties in the cane of being unable to obtain the preacher's address, therefore they could hardly be justified in using such viola te. as to push him from the stool. A atwitter of witnesses having been examined on each side, Mr. Carrie observed that he thought he bad clearly stated his opinion on ► fanner occasion, but he would restate it to make it quite clear. The first question was, whether Mr. Hibbs was justified in what be was doing, for. if so, the police must be in the wens. Now, without looking at the particular acts of par liament, it was clear that the use of the highway was for perwas to go backward and forward. and no one amid be considered as having any right to the use of it for other purposes. That applied equally to preaching and to the musicians alluded to. If they caused a crowd to assemble it might become a nuisance, which it was the duty of the inspector to remove. He did not believe there had been any excess of duty, sad he should dismiss the summons. He hoped there would be no more of this. Yr. Hibbs moat see sow that be was in the wrong. As to preaching being allowed in other places, the police ought, perhaps, to put it down is all, but they were not milieus to do so unless there was some complaint, as there was a desire to act with gentleness in these matters. If it was overlooked in one owe that was no answer in another. BARBAROUS MURDER AT NEWCASTLIFUPON-TYNE. —Os Saturday night • barbarous murder we committed in one of the most frequented thoroughfares of the town of Newcastle-upon-Tye*. Martin lAnskey, the victim, was a Toeing men about twenty-seven years of age, who bad worked as a miner at EJawick colliery for • few days past. He lodged in Carr.atrest ; his wife lived at Sunderland, and at the time stated he left • public-house kept by one Hopper, in Old-street, and walked towards the railway•stetioe, intending to take the train to Sunderland. Two men, his comma, walked • few yards before him, their amount of the affair is, that they heard Laskin shout that he was stabbed, end that on turning back they saw • man running away. A boy near the spot states that • quarrel wore between Lesakey and another man as they left the publinhouse, that the other man was knocked down, and that he immediately jumped up, drew a knife, and stabbed Innikey in the neck, and rue off. The cousins took the wounded man into Mr. Bon's ' chemist's shop. where a frightful gash in his neck was re vealed. Mr. Boe thrust in a handkerchief to stop the flow of blood, and directed the men to take Leaskey to the house of • surgeon living near. They, however, took him into the shop of Mr. Jolson, chemist, sad said, " Here is • man that has been murdered." Mr. Jobson asked who bad murdered him! He rid, " I'm Loin, rie going," and ' without answering the question he sunk os the door of the shop, and expired.

She won by downright gameness, although the performance wee 'mutilate but a brilliant one when Tom foolery was beaten a bead. Fille de l'Air appeared to have recovered from her two severe bouts at Doncaster, but had not soape of ground (enough for a display of her good qualities, the position she obtained, under the circumstances, shutting Yuman, as well as Jupon and Baragah, out of the Derby. Cambusoan's performance with Durham in the Croon* Stakes would have made hint decidedly first fa. vonrite for the Derby but that he looks so difficult a hone to train, as he was quite out of condition, and made such an example of Durham, that he is not likely to troublethe manilla again for the Derby. He figured eves worse in the Granby on Wednesday, won by Unios dna, who also gave Linda a beating, that made Ely's Meet of her fur the Champagne at Doncaater nothing to feel surprised at, for she is evidently a rank jade, sod would not struggle a yard with the Irish-bred colt, who will, however, ' = p eo s : good match for anything of his year that he may to meet in future. Thus Ely beat Tomato in the Sixteenth Triennial on Thursday just as far as he was entitled to do, and there is *very moot to believe Coma Guard is the superior of the two, although Ely was not justified in being bastes so far by the latter at Doncaster. Eyehole' head was turned the wrong wa u s= the Bog dropped, and seeing that her a psalm, Tomato, ran Ely to a head, her Meads have good reason to feel chagrined at the dia appointraeot, for it is only fair to suppose, looking at their relative positions in the betting. she should have won. The vast improvement displayed by Aoolyte warmly_ justified his easy defeat for the Rutland of • Derby horse like Clare mont, who must have been "all wrong," to figure so in gloriously, after beating Apennine, King George, dm., at York. The triumphs of Fille de l'Air and Midnight Mar on Friday, with the results of the minor two-year-old events, were only whet had been generally expected beforehand, and supplied no incident worthy of note. The three end tour-year-old nom brought out several Cesanowitch and Cambridgeshire cracks, and Fantail woe the Grand Duke Michael Stakes so very eerily that she was booked a formidable candidate for both events. And yet her performance was no better than that of Harrigan* in the Fourteenth Triennial, taking into consideration the mare was run against by both Beckenham and Harlequia in the last two hundred yards, and that Aldcroft wee not able to ridsherhome through the latter hanging upon Me all the way up. Neither she our Back/ohm are done with as yet for the Ceasrewitcb, in my opinion, and the sp. patently moderate lot opposed to the pair may not comprise more than one or two with pretensions superior to theirs on the entitle] day. The Fifteenth Triennial did not say much for Tomes Cambridgeshire prospects, as Tornado beat him very essay at lan, and when a pair who were behind the two—the Banger and Early Pad —eutesquently gave lib to Handfeed and ran away from him in the St. Leger, the lattees friends bad to give up all hopes of his winning the Cr anurilaa, good horse as he may be at boon, for • boy wall not get more out of him than Ford ham did. Harlequin's clue race with Isoline for the Queen's Plats nought Hurricane again into notice, as it proved there are few superior four-year-olds to Harlequin, when he only takes it into his head to struggle home. The Great Eastern and October Handicaps passed off without Mimeos to light a Cambridgeshire favourite, the extra weight the Monk sad Man-at-Arms have to carry thereat keeping them In the extreme outside rank, although they were far before the remainder of the field, which included Muezzin, Benjamin, Dunkeld, and others who had pre viously been talked about for the last great event of the season. The sport provided for the current week is the reverse of brilliant, the Conant, rum and steeplechases on Monday sad Tuesday, the Bedford Meeting as W eduesdny sad Thursday, the Northallertou Meeting an Friday and Satur day, and the Caledonian Hunt Meeting at Perth ou Thurs day and Friday, compri si ng the only fixtures ; and of these only Bedford is of puma ate rest. The Bedfordshire Handicap, Two-year-Old Stakes, and Scurry Handicaps see all the events completed as yet, and these may be won re• apsetively by Lord of Linos (or Oberoo), the Teddirigton filly, and the representative of Mr. Hughes (Vigil or Juhet). —I am, km, -METEOR.
