Drama. HAYIIARK ET. Of course, any young lady who takes to the stage with a same like that of Mrs. Scott Ridden must necessarily make her first appearance in legitimate drama. It would be throwing away a great theatrical name to put it in a mere Anglo-French piece, although the great Mrs. Siddons had to represent much theatrical trash in her time, if the play. bills are to be relied upon. The founders of a family, however. have generally to work harder than their more fortunate descendants, and we can therefore feel no eau prise that the little de4sit , rate at the Haymarket,Mrs. Scott Ridden', has been allowed to represent two of Shak speare's beat female characters. Her Repelled was given to the public last season, and last night she made her appearance as Juliet. A few months ago on the occasion of her benefit at this theatre, she attempted the potion scene in Romeo and Juliet, but last night she ventured to represent the who'e character. Her fern., as we thought on first bearing her read at the Hanover-square Rooms, lies rather in comedy than in juvenile tragedy. Nature has given her a fine expressive face, strong in the upper part and weak in the lower part, but it has given her a very thin voice, and very little physical power. Her elocution is better than it was, but it still has many of those American peculiarities which are faults to an English ear, and her manner partakes somewhat of the character a her elocution. Her performance of Juliet is full of effort and stage insincerity, her pathos is forced; her soliloquies are delivered with wild gesticulation, her balcony scene bad all the artificiality of Stella Colas, with out that actress's taking coquetry, and her potion scene had the same fault as Miss Kate Terry's—a deficiency of power. such a performance shows ambition in the right direction, and a certain amount of training, but in spite of many really favourable points, and much which evidently pleased the average pit audience, we venture to think that it has hardly reached what ought to be the level of the Haymarket, or any other first-class London theatre. The play was elegantly placed upon the stage, and some of the characters were fairly acted—Mr. Conipton's Peter being all that could be desired—but some of the performers were evidently very ill suited with their parts, and their parts were consequently made ridiculous. Mr. Kendal's Romeo was gentlemanly and agreeable in manner, but far from agreeable in elocution—his voice is very thick, as if be had an oyster in his throat. The house was well at tended. THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION AT DUNDEE. DUNDEE, WEDNID4 DAT. The sectional business of the association is over, and there now only remains the excursions to Artreath, Montrose, and Errol Castle. The result of the meeting is as follows. Numbers pre sent and amounts received :—Old life members, 167 ; new life, 22-2201. ; old annual, 193-1!0/. ; new, 119-2381. : aseociates, 1,163-1,1637. ; ladies, 771-7711. ; foreigners, 7; total number. 2,442-2,566/. These tgures exceed those of the meeting at Nottingham. at which 2,303 were pre. sent, and the receipts amounted to 2,4691. The concluding meeting of the general committee was held this afternoon, when committees were appointed, and grants were made Lir carrying out tidal observations, con ducting investigations as to the temperature of mines, and various other purposes. Messrs. Belcher, Oldham, and others were requested to report upon the regulations affecting the safety of merchant shipping. The resolutions adopted in the section upon the subjects of atorm•signals and the management of the British Museum were referred for further consideration to the council, who were also to ask government to assist in the exploration of the area round the North Pole. Dr. RtCHARDBON gave notice of an application which he should make next year for a section to be devoted to Applied Science. Some other formal business brought the meeting to a close. This evening a banquet was given to the members of the Association by the Provost and magistrates of Dundee. Five hundred invitations were issued. and a very distin oompany were present.

A reform meeting was held at Hawick on Monday night, and the question of especial interest before the meeting WAS the grouping of the Border towns under the Scotch Reform Bill. The meeting approved of Hawick and Galuhiela being secured in the pnvilege of the burgh franchise, but would rather that they should be put into a new group of burghs than that they should be joined with the Haddington district.

Whenever one of the great races of the season resolves itself into a match, more particularly between a mare and a horse—such, for instance, as Achievement and Hermit for the St. Leger—the excitement and enthusiasm of the sporting public are always unbounded. The present year has been one of remarkable turf surprises, and to a certain extent racing men had been prepared for almost anything. Hermit's success for the Derby in the "invalid" condition in which he then was, was regarded as one of the most ex traordinary episodes in connexion with the sport. It will doubtless be remembered that there were not wanting people who somewhat capriciously insisted after the Derby that Hermit's was not an unsullied victory, and that be owed his triumph to what is termed a "fake." Upon that occasion the infatuated followers of the favourite, Vauban, declared that their idol had been defeated simply because his stable companion, Ursa., had failed to make the pace strong enough, andthat the race had been " muddled" away. This view, they insisted, was confirmed when, at Ascot, Seville was started to force the running in the Prince of Wales's Stakes, and the mare, whom the Duke of Beaufort bad " leased" for the express purpose, performing her mission most efficiently, Vauban beat Marksman, Achievement, Van Amburgh, and other animals of high reputation by ten lengths. Achievement had dimmed the glory of her two-year-old career by her utter disgrace in the Oaks, and the wiseacres of the turf complacently declared that she was • " jade," and deficient of stamina to last over severe courses. The mare had previously been worshiped with an almost irrational idolatry, and now she was unscrupulously defamed. Certainly the performance iu the Oaks was little short of contemptible. She had been unable to make an effort when Cuatance asked her to face the hill ; and at Ascot again she literally " stool still " before Vauban. While the supporters of the Duke of Beaufort's animal protested that the slowness of the pace for the Derby had nullified the prospects of Vauban, the adherents of Achievement, by • parity of reasoning, declared that if Cadence had gone early to the front in the Oaks the favourite would have won. The stable party were much dissatisfied with their jockey, and Custance, who had ridden such • brilliant race only • year pre viously on Lord Lyon for the Derby, found himself sud denly deprived of his favourite cap and jacket, in which he earned so much celebrity as a horseman. Immediately after the results at Ascot those who looked forward to September agreed that the St. Leger was even then confined to three—Hermit, Vauban, and Marksman. It should be mentioned that Hermit had not up to the St. Leger been beaten this season, and by easily obtained Tic tones at Ascot seemingly confirmed the excellence of his Epsom triumph; sad Marksman, had he kept well, would, there is no doubt, have commanded a large amount of monetary support from the public. Mr. Merry's colours have always been extremely popular, but they seem to have fallen upon evil times. Since the day when Dundee ran home in the Derby of 1861 literally " on three legs," second to Kettledrum, Mr. Merry has been tantalised with the possession of a series of splendid cripples, such as Liddington, Student, and Marksman. The latter, although in the early part of August backed for the St. Leger in hundreds down to 8 to 1, failed to stand his Leger preparation, and there being no help for it his owner was compelled to scratch the horse, who had only been beaten a neck by Hermit in the Derby, and who it is fair to presume, with health and soundness, must have Troved at least formidable on the Doncaster own Moor. Not until the York Meeting was the common opinion that the St. Leger was reduced to a match between Hermit and Vauban suddenly dissipated. Achievement had since her defeats in the summer retired from public life, and was allowed to rest herself in the vale of East Haley. Continual reports ema nated therefrom, stating that the mare seemed to be bene fiting by the change, and that the indulgence she was allowed was invigorating her immensely improving her action and developing her muscle. Indeed it was sug gested that she was no longer a lank skeleton as in the Oaks, but full of power and life. This intelligence, how ever, was received with indifference, and the public had evidently lost their faith in the mare, and she could not easily revive the recollection of her brilliant prowess as a two-year-old. On the only occasion she met Hermit as a tweyeacold, in the Woodcote Stakes at Epsom, she beat him by three lengths, and in extenuation of that perfor mance it was asserted that the colt got off badly at the start, and hence his defeat. Still the backers con sidered that the St. Leger was bound to fall to one of the two horses, Hermit or Vauban, until the Great Yorkshire Stakes shed an entirely new light upon the race. Vauban had been brought out for several en gagements, including the Cup at Goodwood and the Biennial at York, and he beat inferior horses in such • slovenly " fashion that the suspicion was becomine pre valent that he was losing form, or getting jaded by con tinuous work and public racing. Achievement, fresh from the Berkshire hills, went to York to meet Vauban in the Great Yorkshire Stakes, and the result is now well known. Vauben was totally unable to live with the mare, and Fordhain, finding the duke's horse hopelessly b eaten, stopped him , and Achievement won in the grand old style, with her ears cocked as in • mere exercise canter, by ten lengths. Her reputation was by this performance restored at once, while Vauban was forthwith driven to ea outside price. Lord Lyon had been immensely popular, and his sister Achievement was even more in favour with the public. Since the Great Yorkshire Stakes many thousands of pounds have been entrusted to the mare, and so en thusiastic were her followers, that at one time she trod closely upon the heels of the favourite in the quotations. On Friday • demonstration commenced agiunat her. and she was driven to as much as 3 to 1 on the strength of a report that she was coughing. Other sinister rumours were in circulation. hut the arrival of Achievement at Doncaster on Tuesday afternoon increased the confidence of her partisans , and as the records of the betting showed since onday she has been backed for no less a sum than 30,0001. at least, the Marquis of Hastings being her moat spirited supporter. Vauban, although he had so tarnished his name by his overthrow at York. was not quite deserted by his friends, and was occasionally backed at prices varying from 12 to 1 to 8 to 1. Some concern was expressed among his early backers when it was ascertained that he would be de prived of his usual jockey's services. Fordham was not present at the meeting in consequence of the death of his eldest child, on Tuesday morning. The Duke of Beau fort was accordingly compelled to seek the set vice' of Parry. the Newmarket jockey, who it will be remembered rode Vauban with great patience and judgment for the Goodwood Cup, and who has frequently appeared in the ducal hoops. Custanoe is the regular jockey of Mr. Chaplin, and would have ridden Hermit in the Derby had not that horseman solicited to ride the R,ake instead, presuming that the son of Newminster and Seclusion bad by recently going I\lll/611 jeopardised his chance hopelessly. Johnny Daley thus se cured that most lucky mount; and to-day the latter steered Julius for the Duke of Newcastle, rho since the Derby has been Daley's first master. Julius has always held • high rank in the estimation of his noble owner, and his trainer, Matthew Dawson, although he signally disappointed b oth in the Two Thousand and Derby. He wasanother " horse of excuses," and man believed that he only required fresh opportunities to demonstrate his superior merits. That be once ran Lord Lyon to a heed at weight for age over the latter's own course, one mile, was sufficient to show thathe possessed fine speed and having improved greatly of late, be had plenty' of backers for a . place and he made such • favourable impression, after being seen at Doncaster, that his posi tion was mended some points to win abeolutely, but the special desire with those who had entrusted him with money was to back him to finish in the first three. The Marquis of Muting', who seemed to have backed almost everything likely to run for the Leger, became the pur chaser of the victorious handicap three-yr-old Challenge before the horse ran in the Eboe Handicap, and this ani mal lie supported to win some 40,0001., at outside prices, for the off chance . Feeseques made his reputation abroad by winning the Grand Prix of Paris after • dead heat with Patricien. and subsequently he won the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle very easily. This horse was • son of the popular northern hero Underhand, and, being trained byFobert,of Middleham—who also trained the Flying Dutchman—no victory would have been more enthusiasti , *ally received in the broad-acred county of Yorkshire. Jobe Scott, whose potency was formerly • household word in connection with the St. Leger, had, on the present occasion only one representative—the ungenerous Taraban, one of those animals known to possess private merits, but obstinately refusing to display them where they could re. munerate his owner. Careful expedients have been adopted to endeavour to make him keep his heart in the right place and pluck out the " white feather." A hood and blinkers have been put on him that be might not see his most dangerous opponents, and be has been indulged with a s c gin ge t o b;stl t e h o ro fte g best Eor b t ef bz e fore swi t e art l inlt n i c tezitat n h o s purpose. The introduction of • totally nil ' expected out sider into the betting within the put few days, seemed to give the race an international character. The new can didate for Leger honours was Count Lagrenge's colt Longehamps, by Monarque, out of Etoile du Nord who had never run at home or abroad, and who it was thought possessed sufficient pre miss to be backed for an off chance. The Danebury patrons were evidently determined to have a pace to suit Vauban, and for this purpose Duchess was supposed to be started. The betting that took place at the rooms at Don caster on the eve of the St. !seer has already been fully reported by telegram, and needs no recapitulation hers. Throughout the evening previously there was a wonderful rue between Hermit and Achievement for premiership in the quotations, and when at midnight 60 to 40 was laid against Hermit the news spread in every direction, sod ' the mare's favourite " were the last words upon every body's lips when the crowds dispersed from the Roams and its vicinity. The St. Leger morning never opened more cheerfully or encouragingly. The air possessed a delightful September freshness, and the sun shone brightly. From six I o'clock in the morning heavily laden specials and express trains began to arrive from the large manufacturing I town, in the neighbourhood, Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford, and York, being strongly represented, and by noon the influx of visitors from the metropolis itself and from the Southern and Midland districts rendered the streets impassable. The excitement was unprecedented and the names of Hermit and Achievement were heard even above the scream of locomotives, the cries of card sellers, and the general clamour; in fact, the carnival of the north had set in with all accustomed intensity. The heavy betting of the two previous nights had appa -1 rently exhausted speculator!, for this morning at 1 the rooms business was but languidly earned on, the two favourites having equal friends. Without any de monstration 65 to 40 each was accepted respectively at intervals about Hermit end Achievement, opinion being still divided as to which would start absolutely first favou rite. Meanwhile Vauban and Julius exchanged places in the quotations, the former declining to 1,000 to 60, whilst the odds of 1,000 to 70 were freely accepted about the Duke of Newcastle's colt. Challenge was friendless at 25 to 1 ; but Fervacques had numerous friends at 30 to L There was a growing disposition to back Van Amburgh, seeing which bookmakers decreased their offers, and not more than 40 to 1 was forthcoming, whilst would he backers stood out for 50 to 1. Those odds were betted against Loogchamps, and one inquiry after Taraban met with an offer of 100 to 1. People were prepared for an enormous attendance, but the assemblage far exceeded all expectations that had been formed. The muster in the ring was very great, and the excitement that prevailed has certainly never been ex ceeded, if, indeed, equalled. The weather was most favourable for witnessing the race, there being an equal absence of glare and haze, and the race-course was as clearly defined when viewed from the Grand Stand as a carefully-drawn map or plan. The scene at Epsom on the Derby day has often been described, but the spectacle presented by the Town-moor at Doncaster is not so familiar to south country readers. The contrast furnished by these two great meetings is extraordinary. Here, all down the course, as far as the Red House (the well known point, famous in many a St. Leger story), there was a dense and sombre mass of people, and when they closed in after the decision of the firs; race, they spread over the lower end of the course in a broad black mass of apparently countless thousands. The only holiday aspect the course presented was on the far side, where a double row of drags and carriages, extending some distant* down, were graced by ladies dressed in gay and elegant attire. The varied hues of costume blending with the green fresh moor, daintily dotted with its white posts and rails, presented • most picturesque appearance. Amidst t he dusky and impenetrable throngs of pedestrian spectators the bright scarlet code of the huntsmen clear ing the course were strikingly conspi cuous . The summit of the Stewards' Stand also he lped to enliven the scene. Here were assembled the elite o the racing patrons with their ladies, the latter not caring to conceal the in terest they felt in the celebrated mare Achieve ment three minor noes which preceded the St. Leger were treated with comparative indifference by the majority of the spectators, but it did not serape notice that Sir Joseph Hawley's Xi won the Corporation Plate with Bet 111 b, ridden by French and not 'W ells, the jockey so long identified with the successes of the cherry jacket and the horseman of Muajid and Beadsman. It was evi dent that the owner of Blue Gown regarded most seriously the Champagne Stakes fiasco. While the three races before mentioned were being run off, the St. Leger candidates began to arrive in that wretched piece of stubble called the " common land," which at Doncaster— one of the first racing arenas in Europe—is made to serve for • saddling paddock. Here the various competitors were fairly mobbed by • miscellaneous crowd. Achieve ment was led into the stables at the back of the stand, and to the surprise of many she was saddled fully half an hour before the time appointed for the race, and brought on the course first, when Dover led her about with Challoner up, wearing the jacket of " red and ' black chevrons." The mare was instantly recognised by a roar and a general swaying of the expectant multitude. Meanwhile Custance, Captain Machelt, and the followers of Hermit were sauntering in front of the stand, and directly the" crack" was seen near the starting post he was at once surrounded. Hermit was actually the last saddled, and the backers of the Derby winner were in • breathless state of impatience especially when Achieve ment went cantering proudly down, as it throwing out a ' defiant challenge to her rival. As soon as Cadence mounted, mounted, and Mr. Chaplin, Captain Michell, and the ' trainer had led him to do battle, there was a great outburst of cheering, which was renewed again and again. When the telegraph board was hoisted it showed twelve runners, among whom wasnot absentanynotabillty. Public curiosity and solicitude seemed eo concentrated in the horse and the f mare that the spectators hardly deigned to cast a glance upon any of the other competitors as they cantered down • the course. Achievement, it was admitted by all, especially those who had no opportunity of seeing her since 4.4100 t, looked wonderfully improved, and had apparently not only laid on muscle, but grown and developed in • most sur f prising manner. As James Dover led her about prior to the start, she betrayed none of those symptoms of - fretful. • ness which are too often exhibited by her sex, but, on the I contrary, was cool and collected, while her coat was as fine as satin. Hermit, on the other hand, and to the - alarm and surprise of his friends, perspired freely • after his preliminary canter, and where the rein chafed his neck • white lather mark was visi- I ble. He was somewhat restive, and when Curtain rode him down to join the other horses who were waiting for him, the Derby hero stopped short midway in the straight, and "sidled" in a nervous and irritable manner. The condition of Julius reflected the highest credit upon his trainer, Matthew Dawson, and competent judges pro nounced his appearance as magnificent. As itwas known I that the Duke of Newcastle had supported his colt heavily I for • " place," much interest was felt in the son of St. Albans. The Danbury team (Vauban, Challenge, and the I Duchess) attracted a great deal of attention, and it may be • mentioned here that the report of Verulam ; having been i borrowed to tusks the running for Vauban proved untrue. Fordham, under the circumstances mentioned above, was • absent from Vauban, and the mount was entrusted to Parry. Ferraoques was almost unheeded, and Taraban, Van I Amburgh, and the Palmer were destitute of admirers. Lord Glasgow, who loves to see his colours represented ' in the great Northern contest, started his Maid of Maaham colt, and the horse was somewhat ostentatiously paraded I about with a leading rein. After the competitors had taken their preliminary canters, Mr. M`George marshalled them past the Stand slowly, and when he got them to I the starting post the excitement was intense, and each breaking away was greeted with great shouts, culminating . in a deafening roar when the red flag fell, and "They're ' off !" reverberated through the air. Vauban's colours were the most prominent for a few strides, but Taraban soon after took up the running, and, with the slight ex ception of the Duchess having the lead for • couple of hundred yards, John Scott's horse Tanana showed the way till within half • mile from home, when he was beaten, Vauban, the Palmer,Achievement, Hermit,Julius, and Challengebeing now in front Sir Joseph Hawley's cell ran well to the turn, where Huxtable, finding he was dead beaten, very properly pulled on one side, letting tip Achievement and Hermit. Vauban looked formidable on entering the straight, but evidently being unable to stay, he was disposed of before reaching the disdain ; this circumstance proving that • better pace than he had in the Derby was absolutely to his disadvantage. Indeed, the in different pace at Epsom must solely have got him where Le finished, this conclusion being borne out by the fact of Julius so easily beating him. The tussle in the last 300 yards was most exciting, but to the initiated it was plain that Custaxce was sitting down and fairly riding Hermit. At the hell distance • tremendous shout an , pounced the approaching defeat of the Derby conqueror, as Cunene' was seen to raise his whip; and although at the commencement of the enclosure, Hermit succeeded in reaching the mare's quarters, the effort was futile, for Challoner had only to let out Achievement to secure • length lead, which was maintained to the end. Julius was ridden out for the hundred pounds for the second horse, and was only de prived of it by • head. 'Vauban was fourth, half a dozen lengths off, him stable companion, Challenge, being next. Taraban ran much better than was anticipated of him, but Longchamps end Fervaoques were never formidable. No sooner had the mare passed the post than the pent-up enthusiasm of the multitude burst forth, and the people swayed and peened forward to get near their idol. police were unable to keep the crowd back, and the ex citement was even greater than when Achievement's brother, Lord Lyon, won the same race last year. The Actress returned to weigh amidst defaming and reiterated cheers, and the crowd seemed almost wild with delight, a hundred hands patting her at one and thousands of voices shouting her victori ous name. ' Some of her more demonstrative admirers even endeavoured and occasionally contrived to snatch a hair from her tail. as a memento of her triumph. It was with , the utmendlfficulty Challoner could force his way back with the mare, while Colonel Pearson, the very type of Thackeray's " Colonel Newcombe," stalked sedately at her side, with an air of quiet pride which he well might feel, having bred two such horses as Lord Lyon and his sister Achievement. Cadence looked pale and chagrined. He had unfortunately declined to ride Hermit in the Derby, while in the Oaks he bad been defeated on Achievement To-day he had been beaten by Zar;Zitr;rlZim .. he hail been identified, and whoseoverthrow in the Oaks had alienated him from her colours. There could scarcely be • grater accumulation of cross purposes forany jockey. James Dover, of Miley, has bow had the good fortune to train the winners of two successive St. Legere ; and Challoner—ons of the most able and skilful horsemen of the day—has thus ridden three St. Leger conquerors—namely, Caller On, the Marquis and Achievement. The Marquis of Hastings is undo ubtedly the largest winner, ma his lord ship had backed the mare for thouaands sines the York meeting, and, in the parlance of the turf, " would not be stalled oft." Colonel Pearson, the owner and breeder of Achievement, hoe probably won • comparatively smell 'take, as he is • sportsman who bets to but little money. The public, were right in eon' ' that the race would resolve itself into • match between Hermit and Achieve- j went, and " public form " was verified, as the only time Hermit ever met Achievement, last year, he was over thrown easily, while the running of the Great Yorkshire Stakes was, for ones in a way, borne out to the letter by the distance Vauban finished from the winner. The remainder of the sport calls for no special remark, and full details of this eventful day will be found recorded below : TaillfuncrrAL STA= Of 200 son., h ft. fie 2-7r.olds ; colts, Hat 101 b; and fillies, 81471 b.

The time of the race as taken by Benson's chronograph was as follows :—The start took place at 3b. 19w. 20s. ; and the arrival was at 3h. 22m, 37a. ; the duration of the race being therefore 3m. 17s. - Betting : 6 to 5 eget Hermit, 7 to 4 apt Achievement, 12 to 1 apt Vauban, 100 to 7 apt Julius, 33 to 1 apt Challenge, 40 to 1 each apt Longchamps a nd Fervacques, 50 to 1 apt Van Amburgh, 60 to 1 apt The Palmer, 100 to 1 apt Taraban. Place betting :-3 to 1 on each Hermit and Achievement, 7 to 4 apt Julius, 7 to 2 apt Challenge, sto 1 apt Fervacques, 6 to 1 agst Van Amburgh. In excellent time the competitors' numbers were displayed, and they made their appearance. Achievement and Hermit were attended by a large number of admirers, and as they cantered down to the other ten waiting for them, were loudly cheered by the multitude. The signal being given, the preliminary canters were taken, Lord Glasgow's unnamed colt and Taraban leading, followed by Hermit, Van Amburgh, and Achievement, Longchamps, The Palmer, and Julius bringing up the rear. The going of the favourites was much admired, and the backers of both looked equally confi dent. When paraded before the stand, it was seen Hermit was a little fidgetty, and sweated profusely, while Achievement, on the other hand, appeared cool and re markably quiet. They had barely reached the post when those anxious to get off broke away, and the next attempt at a start was equally unsuccessful, as Longchamps almost overpowered Gninshaw, and bolted round the turn. After a little manceuvring, however, Mr. McGeorge despatched ' them on very even terms, when the usual shout " They're off," was heard ringing far and wide, and every eye was bent upon the race, which had already commenced in earnest. Vauban, I.lpharape, Julius, and Taraban, nearly abreast, were the trot to obtain any apparent advantage, but when they had fairly settled doe% to work, Loogchamps showed in advance of Vauban, - Julius, and Taraban, Lord Glasgow's colt, the Duchess, and Challenge, lying next, and in the track of these following Hermit, The Palmer, and Achievement, while the rear was brought up by Van Amburgh and Fervaoques, the latter several lengths behind the " lion tamer." When about two hundred yards had been covered, Taraban improving the pace rushed to the front, and took • clear lead of the Duchess, who at first ran very shiftily, but whom Hibbard, to make the running for the Danebury pair, had now suc ceeded in getting to the first rank. The only noticeable alteration in the position of the remainder was that of Julius, whom Daley steadied, Achievement and Her in it, who at the same moment changed places, the mare now being in advance of Mr. Chaplin's colt. As they com menced the gradual ascent before disappearing from the view of the occupants of the Grand Stark, Hib herd, by dint of perseverance, got the Duchess to assume the lead, but the jade could only maintain her posit on for a abort while, and when they reappeared in sight Taraban was still first, the Duchess completely pumped out giving way at every stride, and joining Fervacques, who bad been many lengths in the rear of everything through. out. Vauban, Lord Glasgow's oolt, The Palmer, Challenge, and Longchamps now followed at the heels of Tilraban, but the representative of the Lagrange stable was passed by Achievement, Julius, and Hermit, as they apiwosehed the Rifle Butts, the mare taking her place on the whip hand of Sir Joseph Hawley's colt, having the favourite and Julius on her right. At the Red House, Lord Glasgow's colt dropped away from the front rack, and soon after Taraban began to tire, giving way half • mile from home to Vauban (who lay next the rails), The Palmer, Achievement, Hermit, Julius, and Challenge. On rounding the turn, The Palmer was beaten and running slightly out, Charmer brought u Achievement , Custance also taking advantage of the open ing , while Julius, right in the track of the mammas now fou rth ,Challenge beingclose up with him. Achievement almost immediately assumed • slight lead, and Vauban being in difficulties at the dia. tanoe, the race aceording to general anticipation became a match between the two favourites. Loud shouts 'non pro claimed that Custance had fairly sat down to ride Hermit, and at the commencement of the enclosure the contest was over, as Challoner had merely to call upon Achievement, and answering instantly she increased her advantage, and won easily by • length. Julius, who passed Vauban within the distance, finished gamely, and catching Hermit at every aide, was defeated by a bead only for the 100 sm. reigns for the emend horse. Vauban, six lengths off, was fourth, Challenge. Taraban, and Longcbsmps passing the post next, at about the same intervals in the order named. Fervacques was eighth Lord Glaagow's colt ninth, Van Amburgh tenth, and Tire Palmer eleventh. The Duchess walked in with the crowd, having been pulled up half a mile from home.

The rooms were again crowded, and speculation on ilia Cesarewitch commenced early, although the discussion of the features of the St. Leger occupied some time.

THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1867 THE POLICE COURT& Charles Adams, man of colour, end Rannah his wife, well known to the police, were charged with amenities Mary Hawkins, the wife of a brewer, living at 3, Hendon-street, Pimlico. The prosocutrii mid she was in the Two Brewers public house in !Bruno's-ground, Westminster, at 6 o'clock on Tuesday evening, when she was accosted by the female prisoner, who asked her to buy pencils of her ; she refused to buy, when the female prisoner insulted her and then the male prisoner came and struck her, and k nocked her down. -- MIT Robins, the landlord, said the prosecutaix was rather the worse for drink, and WSJ bothered for • quarter of an hour by the female prisoner. The prosecutrix said she did not want to buy pencils, and bad no money for herself, whereupon the female prisoner used disgusting language to her, and the male prisoner came and seized her by the arm, dashing her on the ground in a most brutal manner. He called a constable, and the female struck him on tho nose, causing it to bleed very much. The prisoners both said that they were insulted first by the prosecutrii who called them all sorts of bad names, and then the landlord struck her on the aide of the head. This was all strongly denied, and it was admitted on ►ll hands that the tit: was intoxicated, although she was quite harmless. Mr. Selfe said be was not going to have people insulted in this way by persons of the prosonsio' description. Ile should fine the woman 10s., or seven days, for the assault on the landlord, and discharged the man with a caution. SOUTHWARK. Walter Stewart, a tall, respectable-looking man, who was described on the charge-sheet as a brass finisher, residing at 34, Francis-street, Westminster.briroad, was oberged with being drunk and incapable of tring care of himself, in Griffin-street, Waterloo-road. As soon as the prisoner was placed in the dock he ex claimed, "Stop, your worship. I have a charge against the constable ; he knocked me down and robbed me of my watch." Magistrate—You mutt stop until I bear the evidence against iZou; If must bey" havee in the pm chug peer way. o u make against the Dawson, 177 L, said that between 12 and 1 in the morn ing he was on duty in the Waterloo-road, when be beard cries of "Stop thief," proceed from Griffin-street. On paaaing up Granby-street, towards the spot, some one came to a door and told him that a man had been knocked down and robbed in Griffin-street. He went there, and found the prisoner lying on his back under the railway arch with his watch chain broken and hanging loosely outside his waistcoat, which was partially open. He lifted him up, and, finding him very drunk, conveyed him to the station-house. . _ The prisoner again called out, "You stole my watch ; you know you did; and I charge you with stealing it." The magistrate asked if the prisoner was drunk and in capable. The acting inspector said be was very drunk. He said nothing about the constable stealing his watch then. It was a very bad place where the prisoner was found by the constable. _ _ The magistrate told the prisoner he had made a serious reflection against the constable. Had he any witness? The prisoner replied that ho had not, but he was sure the constable had his watch. The megistrete told him that he bad attempted to make a rascally charge against the constable, for which there was not the slightest foundation. He fined him se. for being drunk and incapable, and, in default of payment, seven days' imprisonment. THAMES. Henry Pitt, a very tall, strong, and powerfully-built fellow, about 33 years of age, and described as a labourer, was brought before Mr. Paget. charged with violently assaulting and wounding Charlotte Cusack, an elderly and infirm woman, whose left arm was bandaged and is a sling. The complainant stated that she was dwelling at No. 24, London•street, Rateliff. The prisoner was her daughter's husband, and a very ill-tempered, savage man, who had beaten bis wife on several occasions, and inflicted injuries on other women. He mane home on Monday night and Tues day night intoxicated, and quarrelled with his wife. He said he would have her life, and she fled for refuge to another room. He then went out and returned in 15 minutes, and uttering a dreadful and blasphemous oath, said he would have the life of his wife, who had gone up stairs. The prisoner made an attempt to reach his wife. Witness prevented hint doing so, upon which he took up a poker and broke the furniture. She was endeavouring to , save the things, when he struck her with the poker and cut her eve. He followed this up by other blows, and dislocated her shoulder. Her grandson parried the blows as well as he could, and was ill-used. The prisoner got her down, and stamped upon her. The prisoner said, " I'll do for you; if I can't have her life (meaning his wife's) I will have yours." The lights were put out, and the prisoner said, ' I have you now," and kicked and trampled upon her and her grandson. Richard Henry Kidney confirmed the evidence of his grandmother, and said the prisoner knocked him down, and jumped upon him. He thought his inside was coining Mr. William Fowler, physician and surgeon, of No. 175, High-street, Shadwell, said that be was called upon to re duce a dislocation on the complainant's shoulder. There was a black mark across her arm, and • contused wound over her left eye. Mr. Paget—Take the old woman into the gaoler's room, and examine her again. Mr. Fowler complied with the request of the magi. trate, and on his return said there were two or three bruises on her arm, and a bruise on the back of the head, but nothing to indicate that she had been trampled upon by • great and powerful fellow like the prisoner. Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to he imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six months, cad to find bail to keep the peace for six months ►fter the expira tion of his sentence, himself in 501., and two sureties of 251. each. THI NEW MASTERS AND SEDVANTS ACT.- Yesterday Messrs. William and Thomas Million, gal vanises, of Wolverhampton, were convicted before Mr. lease Spooner, stipendiary for South Staffordahire, of a breach of the New Masters and Servants Act, in having sent away for a fortnight an apprentice, in whose inden ture they had stipulated to find him work, and they were ordered to pay the boy Its. compensation. The defend ants were also told by the stipendiary that the act gave him power to require them to find sureties to fulfil the contract. His worship, in delivering judgment, said with reference to the new act—Legislating, as is directed here by referring to existing acts, and substituting new enact ments " for such of the existing enactments as would have applied if the act had not passed," seems to me to create necessarily very great difficulty in the construction of the new act, and to tend directly to litigation, as the new act affords no guide to masters or workmen, but sends them back to the old statutes, and then compels them to construe the old statutes with the new one.

Tun Siam:men MIJIIDER.—At the Birkenhead county police court yesterday a young man named James Mackey was brought up, charged with having on the 511 of Feb. last murdered an old man named Hugh Wiese, a marine store dealer, residing in Oak-street, Birkenhead, and robbed him of about 100/. in gold, The murder tam committed in the most deliberate manner, and in a mud frequented part of the town, close to the Copper On works, between 11 and 12 o'clock in the forenoon. Shortly before noon on the sth February Mr. Ling, the foremen of the Copper Ore Works, near Seacombe, found the body of M'Keon lying between two railway waggons, near the works. Life was extinct, the deceased having a wren wound in the neck, which divided the jugular vein, and s tremendous blow from some blunt instrument on ths bead. Upon inquiry it turned out that the doomed bed been in com p any with a stranger on board a vessel the Great Float, where he purchased some old sad and ropes, but after leaving the vessel nothim was seen of him, until the body was dime vexed by Mr. Laing. The police instituted tk most rigid inquiries, but failed to discover the per petrator of the murder until within the last few days, when they received information that a person named Mackey, and upon whom suspicion had for a long tint rested, was spending money freely in Dundalk, Ire land. An officer was at once despatc hed from Birkenhead to Dundalk, and Mackey vies t ak en into custody. i'pm being searched, although he bad not been working far some time, the sum of 41. 10e was found upon him, toge ther with a 6-barrelled revolver, all the chambers of which were loaded with bell-charges.
