The concluding day of the gathering on the Knavesnifie was decidedly the most important as affecting the fun" while the racing was so good and the results so unlocked for that the day will be remembered in the annals of the turf. The weather was brilliant, and the company very large, although it naturally could not compare with the attendance on the Ebor Hsndicap day, except in the en closure, where there appeared but little diminution. To enable the metropolitan visitors to leave in time to reach, town by the special train starting at 5.5, the racing com menced at twelve o'clock, the last event being set for half-past four. Though the Aske Produce Stakes resulted in a walk over, the sport was prolonged by edged heat for theLnavesmire Stakes, and it will be seen that the run of resulted in favour of Kidderminster, ridden by Fordham, thus adding another to his numerous deed-heat victories of the season. It is a fact well worth mentioning that Fordham has lost but one of his dead beats this year— namely, that it Stockbridge, when Athena wee upset by Leonie. It is unneceaaary to refer to all the races here, as details will be found below, but a few comment, on the Great Yorkshire Stakes will no doubt be interesting to our readers. Singularly this event has for years been remarkable for its startling surprises, the defeat of Rustle by Strathoonan, and that of Blair Athol by The 3(lw, being the most recent. On the present occasion only lee horses appeared at the post, and one of these, Caucasus, was started to make the running for Vauban. The prio mince of Achievement invested the contest with extra. ordinary interest, and althoughVanban was never forsaken bhis friends, the support awarded.to Achievement , with the knowledge that she was so well that Dover believed her cable of defeating the Danebm7 " crack," made the bookmaker' field with wonderful pertinacity. Before the start several important bets were laid about both for the St. Leger ; 2 000 , to • 100 sad • I 800 to 50 were taken that Colonel Pearson's filly won both Iris Yorkshire Stakes and the St. Leger, in addition to 1,000 to 100 and, ROO to 100 taken three times about her for the latter event singly. Vauban came in for hie aura of double event betting, the wagers of 1,000 to 200 and 500 to 1, and tavernl smaller wrap at the same figure being accepted, as also 1,000 to 300 that he wan the' Doncaster nice, Caucasus made the pace a rattler to serve Vauban, up the running iminediatly the tag fell. As was suitl i , there wasnothing else in it, when they came tow er th e finish, but the two cracks, and the wild shouts of the book makers as Fordham was seen riding the favourite before the distance was reached, proclaimed him beaten, which be eventually was in a common canter by fifteen lengths,Ford ham judiciously ceasing to persevere with his horse when be found his case hopeless. Yorksbiremen generally seem to revel in the success of a non-favourite, and loud cheers were given for Chelloner and Achievement as they returned to the enclosure, where a scene of the wildest excitement prevailed. A complete revolution of course took place in the betting quotationt, Vauban being unceremoniously driven from the front divieien, salmi Achievement installed the second favourite. This gaily victory over Vauban naturally affected Hermit's pesitidb, 6 to 4 being loudly offered on the field for the " Sellinger," but staunch supporters of the favorite stayed any further retrogression by offering to accept 7,000 to 4,000, while another friend of the " recluse " laid 000 to 400 on him against Achievement, " one to win." Odds of 45 to 20 and 1,000 to 400 were laid on Hermit and Achievement " coupled," Admiral Roes being one of the layers of these odds. 300 to 100 was taken about Achievement, and subseque e ; 900 to 400 booked the moment it was off but at 2 to 1 no investment was forthcoming. auban was friendless at 10 to 1, bUt 1,000 to 60 would have been taken, and Julius at 20 to 1 to win several thoesend pounds. Marksmen was introduced at 1,000 to 30, and the backer offering to take LIMO to 20 he was acoominodoted, the layer remark's( that the two bats together would be " forty fifties," which was Marksman's correct quotation. A staunch partisan of Achievement offered to take 10,000 to 8,000 that she detested Hermit in the Leger wherever they finished. Taraban was sent to the right about. 1,000 to 2 being twice laid against him. htnithoonan easily upset Moulsey in the Gap, and the maws* of the "roan" was gcestly pleasing to the "tykes," who appear to idolise the harlequin jacket of Mr. Watt. The result gave another proof al.the partiality horses display for certain courses, for Strathoonan here ' defeated Rustic lest year.

Daring the day they left Liverpool for Preston. THE EMPERORS FACE TO FACIL—A letter from Salzburg to the Press of Vienna gives the following account of this roosting of the Sovereigns:—" Their Austrian Ma jesties were for some thus at the station awaiting the Em peror and Empress of the French. The Austrian Empress wore a lilac silk dress of the shade called ' Eugenie colour, ' trimmed with magnificent lace. The special French trai n advanced slowly. When it stopped some hundred yards from the plum where the carpet was spread as at the arrival of the Sultan, the Emperor Napoleon saluted from the carriage, which on account of the heat was only enclosed by a kind of Vene tian blinds, while at the same time the Emperor Francis Joseph, wearing the uniform of • marshal and with the grand cordon of the Legion of Honour, advanced, saluting ala isiliture. His Majesty of France was in private clothes. The Empress Eugenie was dressed in white, trimmed with black points, and wore a veil over her bonnet. The Emperor Napoleon took off his hat ; Francis-Joseph saluted is return, and the two Emperors then shook hands. Then Napoleon approached the Empress Elizabeth and kissed her hand : Francis Joseph doing the same to the Empress Eugenie. The two Emperors passed in front of the chasseurs, while the bead played Portant pour 1% Syrie.' THE SEARCH TOR DR. LIVINOSTONE.—We un derstand that, on July 15, her Majesty's ship Petrel received on board at the Cape the expedition, under the command of Mr. Young, which has undertaken a search for Dr. Livingstone or his remains, and that the ship was to sail on the evening of the same day for the mouth of the Zambesi. On arriving there the various sections of the steel boat, specially built at Chatham for the use d the expedition, will be put together, and the party will proceed up the river to the Shire, sad thence as far as the Murchison Falls, where the boat must be taken to pieces again and carried some 30 or 40 miles overland. There will then be • run across the Lake Nyassa, within 10 miles of the northern end of which is the spot where Dr. Liv ingstone is alleged to have been murdered.—Pall "Mall Gazette. THE Boar ACCIDENT ON THE HUMBER. —The excitement caused by this fatal occurrence is unabated. Efforts to recover the bodies are continued. From inqui ries made of the one survivor, it appears that the occupants of the boat fell in with Mr. and Mrs. Rawlinson, visitors at Grimsby, and a middle-aged woman and her son, a boy about 11 years old. As they all wanted to go to Clee thoepes in a boat, they went to the Royal Dock and agreed with Irving for • trip at 6L each. The boat ought not to have carried more than six or seven persons, and with such • heavy burden the water was within three or four inches of the gunwale. On arriving off Grimsby, Irving found that owing to the state of the wind, it would be impoasible to land, and he put back to wards Grimsby, tacking so as to get in shore. It was in making one of these tacks that the' accident occurred. According to Irving's statement, he left Mr. Rawlinson in charge of the tiller, while be went to lower the sails. He did this because Rawlinson said that he had once been at sea, and knew bow to ma nage it. Irving told him to keep the boat steady, but Raw linson turned the boat's head towards the shore in stead of keeping its head towards the opposite coast. The result was that a wave broke over the boat and filled it with water, and the boat being well ballasted, sank straight down in ten feet of water, four feet of the mast being above water. The passengers screamed out for help, and clung to the mast ; but their weight pulled it over, and they were all immersed, the boat again righting as soon as they had lost hold. The boat was subsequently picked up, and in it was found an umbrella. The body of a woman, not identified, has been picked up. There will, of coarse, be a Board of Trade inquiry. FLOOD AND FALL OF A BRIDGE AT CRIEFF.— In of the almost incessant rain which fell on Tuesday, the Earn came down rolling from bank to brae in the afternoon. From the upper waters large quanti ties of trees, fencing, and other articles, were carried away by the current, and fields of grain, potatoes, Ac., , were submerged to the depth of several feet. The new ' bridge in course of erection across the river at Crieff has ' been damaged to • considerable extent. On Wednesday . 1 Mr. Pitkeathley, the inspector, went to examine the da -1 maged arch, when the fabric suddenly gave way, and Mr. Pitkeathley and four others were precipitated into the water below. A mason, named Williamson, had his legs and arms broken, and the inspector got his jawbone frac tured, and was otherwise cut about the head. On Wednesday evening some children were playing in the neighbourhood of the ironworks at Darling ton, and incautiously got into • gravel pit, which had been undermined. A large quantity of overhanging earth which had been loosened by the late rains suddenly gave way, to the weight of five or six tons. Two of the chil dren, Francis Baker and Caroline Golden, were buried by the earth, and although the utmost exert:Was were made to rescue them, from two to three hours elspeed be fore fhe earth could be dug out, when they were, of coarse, dead. The arbitrators in the case of "Chatterton e. Reeves," for breach of agreement to sing in Rob Roy, at Drury-lane Theatre, have awarded Mr. Chatterton, 1,500 f. damages and costs. inikStf• • THE HEREFORD MUSICAL FESTIVA-Li:4i Woe 001 8191CIAL 001RISPOMAIIIT.) HEREFOItD, FRIDAY. The closing day of the festival opened with weather as bright and genial as that of any of the • previous days of the nreeting—more so it could not have bten. She morning performance at the cathedral, commencing at half-past 14 consisted of Handersifeseoh, which attracted as usual the largest attendance of any of the four days' per formances. In addition to the powerful influence always exercised by such sublime music in associa tion with a subject of such awful interest, there was the expectation of hearing the soprano solos delivered by such exceptionally great singers as Madame Lind-Goldschundt and Mdlle Tietjens, and those for the tenor by Mr. Sims Reeves —anticipations which were realised in each instance. Handers sublime work—identified ever since its first production, both with Christian sentiment in music and human gym ! pathies in the cause of charity—was given with the rich orchestral accompaniments added by Mozart (in 1789), and without those omissions of movements and portions of movements which are too frequently the case in the performance of the work. The opening recitative, " Comfort ye," and the following air, " Every Valley," were given by Mr. Sims Reeves in his best manner, as y be said of his various other performances throughout the oratorio. In the recitative " Thy rebuke," and the air which follows, " Be hold, and see," Mr. Reeves produced a deep im pression, evidenced by that prof )und stillness which from so large an assemblage as that which this morning filled the nave of Hereford Cathedral is far more significsat than the most tumultuous applause that could shake the walls of a concert-room. Nothing could transcend the intense yet chastened fervour, the sublime pathos, which this great singer im parted to these movements ; or the tranquil and hopeful sentiment which he threw into the beau tiful air, "But thou did'st not leave." The prin cipal soprano solos of the first part were allotted to Pdadlle. Tietjena, who gave the great bravura air, " Rejoice greatly " (with its florid and somewhat secular pas/laps of execution) with brilliant effect. The subsequent soprano solos, in the second and third parts of the oratorio, were assigned to Madame Lind-Goldsehmidt, whose delivery of "How beautiful am the feet," of that solemn yet hopeful air, " I know that my Redeemer liveth," and " If tied be for us," was full of that in tense and sublimated pathos by which this great artist's interpretations of sacred music have always been distinguished. To the pieces just specified must be added the recitative " Unto which of the Angels," sung by Madame Goldschmidt, in lieu of Mr. Sims Reeves. Miss Edith Wynn e gave with much Purity of style the soprano air, Come unto Him" ; the reetition of the preceding " He shall feed his flock, " which, as.well as the solo, " 0 thou that tallest," was sung with genuine expression by Madame Fatey-Whyrock--the other principal con tralto solo, "He was despised," being given with much pathos by Miss Julia Elton, the frequently omitted second part of the air being judiciously in cluded. Mr. Santley in the various recitatives', in • the pathetic air, " But who may abide," with its ' dramatic episode " For he is like"—in that won drously picturesque piece "The people that walked in darkness" (with the marvellous added details of Mozart), sang with the same great qualities of voice and style that he has so often displayed in the - same music. The declamatory bass songs "Why do the nations," and " The trumpet shall sound " ((with Mr. T. Harper's well-known admirable trum i • t aocompaniment), were delivered with his usual nergy by Mr. Weiss ; and the subordinate tenor solo part, in the concluding portion of the oratorio, was given to Mr. Montem Smith, who has sung so efficiently in more important positions during the festival, and has proved in several instances, on this occasion, a valuable substitute for Mr. Sims Reeves. The choruses were very effectively sung, the sublime " For unto us " and " Hallelujah " (repeated) producing, as usual, a profound impres ' aion. _ _ _ ----- The programme of the third miscellaneous con cert, at the Shire-hall, on Thursday evening, was somewhat modified in consequence of the absence again of Mr. Sims Reeves, who was doubtless re serving his powers for the culminating performance of the Messiah this morning, as recorded above. The supplemental concert of chamber music is to take place this evening at the College-hall, the following selection to be performed : Trio, Miss Edith Wynne, Mr. Montem Smith, and Mr. Wein, "Te sol quest, anima" (Attila) Verdi. Quartet .Posthumous;, Andante and vars : and Scherzo, Two Violins, Viola, and Violoncello. MONISM lg. Blive, Cle ment), B. Illagrove, and Daul Mendelssohn. Song, Mr. Weiss, "A weary lot Is mine" O.

Bla grove, Clomenti, Y Negroes, and Dun i beet With the ball to be held in the Shire-hall to night, the Hereford Musical Festival of 1861 ' and the hundred and forty-fourth meeting of the "three choirs," will be brought to a close. The weather throughout the week has been of the brightest and finest ; the passing storm of Monday night (limited here to the dark hours of rest) having left the atmosphere clear and radiant. The whole proceed ings have been rendered peculiarly agreeable by the excellent arrangement of the details, and the urbanity of all concerned therein. Mr. G. Towzushend Smith, the organist of the Cathedral and conductor of the festival performance; has been most zealous and indefatigable in the performance of his onerous duties ; to which he also adds, with equally efficient fulfilment, the personal transaction of the many and incessant business details involved in the office of honorary secretary—in this instance anything but a sinecure. To this gentleman, to the stewards, and others. associated in the arrangements of the festival, we gladly express our acknowledgment of the courtesies and facilities afforded. Large as was yesterday's (Thursday's) atten dance at the Cathedral, it was far exceeded by that of this morning, the number being 2,140. The return of yesterday's collection has been amended since it was furnished to us, and the sum is now stated to be 2771. 9s. 9d. The total amount collected during the festival is said to be upwards of 1,1001. THE FORTHCOMING BIRMINGHAM FESTIVAL. The General Committee of the Birmingham Musical Fes tival met on Thursday to receive the reports of the sub committee respecting the arrangements for the festival ; the Hight Mon. Earl Beauchamp presided. The Orches tral Committee report that all the musical arrangements for the festival are complete, the orchestra fitted up, and the instrumental and choral band placed under the con ductor's personal supervision. The rehearsals of the band were held in London on Tuesday, the 13th, and Wednes day, the 14th inst., when all the new works were carefully gone through and the parte corrected. Owing to the state of his health, Dr. Bennett does not feel equal to the task of conducting his own work, which will therefore (with Mr. Costa's approval) be undertaken by Mr. G. W. Casino, the conductor of London philharmonic Society. During the tut few evenings Mr. Coats has personally directed the re bearsale of the choir, and it is believed the well-established reputation of the Birmingham Chorus will be fully main tained on the forthcoming occasion. BRITISH ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY. — The ordinary annual meeting was held at the central office of the company at ss, Threadneedle-street, yeaterdar. Mr. 1 David Webster in the chair, when the usual formal busi ness was transacted. Mr. Edward Cropperand Mr. Charles }Comp Dyes were re-elected directors, and Mr. John . Blackburn was re-elected one of the auditors. The . meeting terminated with the usual vote of thanks to the charmers. • THE DOUBLE MURDER AND SUICIDE IN LiMBETB. THE INQUEST. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Win. Carter, coroner, opened an investigation at the Sir Sydney Smith tavern, Chester street, touching the deaths of Mrs. Anne Roberts and her two children, brederick and Anne Maria. Mr. Inspector Heath, of the L division, attended to watch the proceedings on behalf of the - police, and the *court and its approaches were densely crowded. Charles Roberts was the first 'Maw, and cried bitterly While giving kis evidence. He 'aid—My father's name is Charles, and he is a builder and decorator of houses. I lived with him and my mother. My mother's name woo Anne Maria Roberta. and her age was 40. My sister Anne was aged nine years, and my brother Frederick seven . years. On Thursday afternoon, between 4 and b e'olook, my mother said she would do for us. I was then in the beck garden with Reuben Ashley a lad between 10 and 11. My brother Frederick was playing with me, and my mother celled out "Frederick, I want you." Freddy did not go at first, and my mother called a second time and said, Freddy why don't you hear ?" He went upstairs and I followed 'him, end washed my hands . I heard a scraping noise on the floor of the lumber room over head, and went up to the door. It was locked. I heard a sound like the pouring of water in the beck room, and I heard my mother's voice. I said what is thet matter, and my mother said, " She is very ill." My mother then rushed out of the room and went into the other room, where my sister Anne was. She cut at her two or three times. There was no resistance on the part of my deter. I then ran away, and my mother followed me. She had a table knife iu her right hand, and the boy who was *al me said, " Oh, you silly Mrs. Raherts.' She then dodged me into the kitchen, and threw the knife at me, but I dropped my head against the wall. I ran into the front garden, and called out, " Murder"and '• Pollee." I did so beatuse she said in the afternoon she would kill herself. I did not then say anything to her. The boy who was with me in the garden told her not to be a foolish woman, and I believed she would do something to herself. Reuben Ashley, the lad referred to by last witness, gave corroborative evidence. Mrs. Elizabeth Hills said—My husband is a mathemati cal instrument maker, and lives at 53, Cheiderstreet. On the afternoon in question I was in my bark garden be tween half-past 4 and 5 o'clock. I heard cries of " Mea der," and " Police." The voice appeared to come from Mai. Roberta', at the beak of her house. I sailed out, hut receiving no reply I ran round to the front, and Charles Roberts mine ant and rid, " She has killed the two chil dren end stabbed herself." I ran into the house by the front door, and found Mrs Roberta lying in the kitchen just before the fireplace with a knife in one hand. She was about falling, and did fall. I called out, "Oh, Mrs. Ro berts, what have you done r She tried to speak but could not. I did not see anything the matter with her when she fell, but afterwards saw that she had a large cut about the left elbow joint, and blood was flowing from it. I then went updates. The child Anne was lying on the floor beside the bed. In the other room on the floor I saw the boy Frederick. They were both bleeding from wounds in the throat. Mrs. Roberts did notemwk to me afterwards. Mrs. Sarah Coleman, who was called in by the last wit ness, gave corroborative evidence. Some police evidence was then taken as to the bodies and premises. Mr. Wheeler, surgeon, of Keunington-park-road, said be was called to the place, sad in the kitchen found the deceased woman with a wound three inches long in the left arm, dividing the principal arteries. In the upstairs room over the kitchen he found the body of the boy with a large gash in the throat severing the jugular vein and other chief arteries. Great physical force must have been used to have inflicted the wound. Ile then went into the front room and there saw the body of the little girl, who had a wound in her throat and was quite dead. The Coroner said the question now aro s e whether the deaths of the children were the result of an act of violence on the part of another party ; and if so, was that party the mother of the children. . . . . . Tne jury said they were unanimously of opinion that the mother had caused the death of the children, and they at once returned a. verdict of " Wilful murder" against Anne Made Roberts, the mother, in both cases. The Coroner said he would now take the evidence as to the death of Mrs. Roberts herself. Elizabeth Coleman was then called, and stated that she bad known Mrs. Roberts (the deceased) for eon* years. Latterly she had been addicted to habits of intemperanoe. On Monday last she was with her for several hours. She was very violent, and was with difficulty restrained from going down stairs to inflict violence upon her husband. By the Coroner—l bad known dammed strike her hus band, mid that is why I tried to prevent her going down stairs. She uttered something on the Monday night about striking her husband and said "Awe wanted to get at him." She was exceedingly violent all the time. She lip peered quite rational, but very excited front the effects of drink. On the following day she was very excited. and in the afternoon I bathed her head with vinegar She was iu bed all that day, and bad not been drinking. Upon mime occasions when she had been drinking I have stopped with bee when she was violent, but she was not uncon trollable in her actions. I never heard her thrsaten her own life or that of any other person. On the Monday night she was in a state of fury, awi add she would be quiet if I would remain and sleep with her. On the pre vious Sunday morning I was disturbed by A noise, end when I went in I found that she had broken in the lanel of the front parlour door with a flat iron. She was then in an ex cited state, but bad not been drinking. I caw her on the Wednesday, when she appeared rational. Reuben Ashby, recalled, said that during the afternoon of Thursday Mrs. Roberts sent him for half a quartern of pale brandy. Charles Roberts, the son, was recalled, and stated that on Thursday at dinner time the deceaved had an en mixed with brandy before Abby fetched the half a quartern. Bhe looked strange all the day, and he thought she would do something to herself, especially after she hail said she would do for herself, and threw the knife at him. On Sunday she appeared very low spirited, as though some thing was preying on her mind. She went to Clapton on Sunday without her husband's knowledge to see witness's anat. She had been fretting all the day, but he slid not know why. She did not return home until Monday even ing, when she had some words with her husband. Never saw his father ill-treat his mother. His mother was very affectionate, and fond of her children. The room having been cleared, the jury deliberated for about twenty minutes, end retained a verdict. " That the deceased Anne Maria Roberts, having wilfully murdered her two children, destroyed her own life whilst in a state of unsound mind." The proceedings then terminated, and the crowd soon after dispersed. AN UNSAFE PRECACTION.—One of the most daring robberies that have ever come under the notice of the local detectives took place at Aston, near Birmingham, on Tuesday night. At about a quarter to nine o'clock Mr. &dwell, who resides in Albert-road, went upstairs and put his little boy to bed, leaving the window curtains drawn and everything apparently safe. He retired to a sitting room in the back pot of the house where his family were, the bedroom being in the front. In a abort time • heavy fall was heard outside the bowie. On looking out Mr. Bedwell found that the bedroom window was open, and running upstairs he was aitonisheil to find the door locked. The fact was that as soon as he had left the room thieves must have entered at the window, and they car ried off a gold watch and chain, and a safe weighing l cwt., and containing a number of debentures and shares, the numbers of which are known, and which will ►e use less to the thieves. There was no money in the safe. A neighbour's lad saw four men carry oil the safe. but be was deterred by their threats from saying • word about it.
