THE SON, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 31, 186 V. SPORTING NOTES. STEEPLECHASING. The racing "interregnum" will be brought to a close on. Monday, when the sport for the season of BO will be com menced at Manchester. The meeting, which will take place under the joint management of Mr. Lambert and Mr. Swindells, jun., will at least afford amusement to the holi day folks, if it do not attract great attention from profes sional betting men. The programme comprises three items which have obtained numerous entries; the " novel match" which some sly wag announced, however, will not take place, as the idea has been repudiated with indignation by Mr. Lambert. It is impossible to write with any accuracy on the pro bable results of the sport, as very little knowledge can be obtained respecting the condition of the likely competitors. Princess of Orange is leniently enough handicapped for the hurdle race, and the flat race may be won by either Lord Berkeley or Queen Bess. We know very little about the steeplechase horses, but Tamworth seems raost to our fancy. Mr. E. W. Topham has announced a meeting to take place at Slough on the 17th and 18th of January. An ad mirable course has been selected within two miles of the Slough railway station. Ten stakes are advertised, and the amount of added money distributed amongst them ex ceeds £4OO. To the principal event alone £2OO are contri buted. The races close on Wednesday next. The meeting will be under the stewardship of Mr. E. W. Topham. A FRESH MAN , THE LATE CROYDON STEEPLECHASE, (From the Sunday Times) Mr. Harrison has come forward boldly to prove that he was justified in making his objection against Brunette. The protest which wo entered last week against the flippant and unsatisfactory manner in whioh the referees decided the case was strictly in accordance with the sentiments of all persons who desire to see the sport of steeplechasing con ducted on the principles of fairplay and honesty. Had the stewards published the evidence in full, the public would have been satisfied with their decision, but the clumsy, and evidently one-sided statement which a contemporary indis. creetly published last week only served to deepen the sus. picious circumstances with which the affair is sUrrounded. Mr. Harrison has furaishod us with the subjoined state ments which were made before the stewards : George Stevens said—On my way to the starting-field, I was followed by Mr. Harrison, who told me that he had been informed that there was a probability that Brunette was not carrying her proper weight, and Mr. H. said if such was the case, the deficiency might possibly be given to Ken dall after pulling up; and, therefore, if Brunette should be the winner, I must try to get the second place, and take care, in pulling up, to stick close to Bruzette. I did stick close to her, and, on our way back to the weighipg-place, I saw the young man who always goes with Lister's horses give Kendall, the rider of Brunette, something from under a rubber, but I could not see what it was, for, just at that moment, a stoutish gentleman, with a light moustache and no whiskers, came up, and caught hold of Omar Pasha's head, and said something about winning which I did nol quite understand, and which I thought was to take my at tention off Kendall and the young man before mentioned. Immediately after this there was a mob round Mr. Harri son and Brunette. "A Mr. Pearson also gave evidence to the following effect :—That he saw something given to the rider of Bru nette, and thought that it might be a present, and which the jockey received in his left hand." [The above statement contains very serious charges, and it would be well if Mr. Lister and Kendall were, for their own sakes, to place their version of the affair before the pliblic.—ED. 8.

It is to enjoy an exclusive right of issuing notes, which will be a legal tender, but which are to be limited to twice the stock of bullion during the first year, and to three times its amount thereafter. Ziee• head office will be at Constantinople, and branches maiiiiieirtablished under certain regulations. The man ageme be in the hands of a governor and deputy-governor, four inspectors, and 24 directors, the governors and two of the inspectors being appointed by the Government, and the rest b the k concessionaires, for three years, an d a f terwards b the shareholders. Two-thirds of the Bo ar d must be' r rites , i of Constantinople ; the others may vot e b y proxy.

Business cannot be commenced till the whole s:api tal of £1,000,000 is paid in, and this must be within six months. The Bank is to keep the public accounts, and to receive 6 per cent. Treasury bonds for temporary advances in anticipation of revenue. In the event of losing one-third of its capital the establishment must be liquidated. Its operations are to begin three mouths after the withdrawal of all the paper money, and every transaction is to be on the basis of the gold medjidie. These are the leading points of the concession. The statutes have also been printed, and are signed respectively by the Turkish Finance Minister and Messrs. IV, Gladstone and M. E. Rodoeanachi. AMER !BOATS'. _ - Going abroad at a late hour in the evening, the scene which presented itself to our eyes was novel in the highest degree. Painted a pure white, as nearly all American river steamboats are (for the anthracite coal burnt under their boilers makes no smoke whatever), the enormous mass of the vessel rose like a giant iceberg above the water. Hurry ing over the broad gangway, we found ourselves in a crowd of nearly 700 passengers, more than one third of whom were ladies, We were upon the main deck, although under a lofty ceiling, over which was a grand saloon of palatial proportions and mag nificence. Looking aft, a broad entrance, flanked with gilded columns and luxurious drapery, opened to the ladies' saloon—a sanctum sanctorum not to be profaned by the footsteps of a bachelor, although steamboat etiquette was not so strict, nor steamboat regulations so inflexible as to forbid the momentary presence there of gentlemen ac companying their wives or other fair charges to be intrusted to the care of the stewardess. On either side of this entrance were broad staircases descend ing to an immense lower cabin, along the sides of which were snore than 400 berths. The supper tables were then set out with a degree of splendour for which an English traveller would be altogether unprepared. Nearly amidships, on the main deck, a grand staircase, sweeping both to the right and left, conducted to the great saloon, or state-room hall, nearly 300 ft. i n l engt h , several yards in width, and having an upper gallery, with a second story of state rooms—a lofty arched ceiling, glazed with ground and coloured glass, and supported by richly carved columns, covering the whole. In its construc tion this steamboat (the New World) is totally un like anything ever seen in British waters. It is of enormous size. Originally 376 ft. long, it was after. wards lengthened to 468 ft. over all. With a breadth of beam of 50ft., the main deck is extended by means of platforms, or "guards," projecting over the water to the full width across the paddle-boxes, 85ft., being thus wider than the main deck of the Great Eastern. Yet the vessel, which is flat-bottomed, with bilges nearly or quite square, draws only 6i-ft. of water, the wh o l e displacement being about 2,600 tons, and the immersed mid-section 275 square feet. All American boats have wooden hulls, and, how to stiffen such a vast and shallow craft, flat bottomed as Noah's Ark ? There are no tubular cells, no " double skins," nor i s th ere a hundred weight of boiler plate, excepting in the boilers themselves, in the whole structure. As if to increase the strain, the boilers weighing, with water, 75 tons each, are placed upon the " guards" outside the hull, and of course several feet above the load line. To make the whole as rigid as a tubular girder, two enormous arched trusses, placed one over each side of the hull, extend over nearly 350 ft. of the length of the boat. These great bows, like the arches of a bow-string bridge, are connected to ki ng p os t s and queen posts, and strapped and fastened, so that the whole is as stiff as a man-of-war. Then there are four or five large king posts, or masts, stepped upon the keel, and carrying the weight of the pro jecting " guards" by long diagonal tension rods. These masts carry no spars, booms, or rigging of any kind, all of which would be so much top hamper worse than useless, at a speed of 20 miles an hour. These posts, like nearly all the rest of the wood work, are painted a dazzling white and surmounted by gilded balls. The lines of the hull are very sharp, and at 22 statute miles an hour, a speed not unfrequently attained, there is only a thin spurt of water,breaking into spray to mark the keen entrance of the eutwater.— The Engineer.

E STRAITS OF BANCA. - - - We are indebted to the commander of her Majesty's surveying schooner Saracen for the sub joined particulars of the new and safe passage dis covered by the Saracen. This navigable channel is nineteen miles in length, and nearly three miles broad in its narrowest part, with a depth in mid channel increasing gradually from seven fathoms at its south-eastern entrance to twenty fathoms near the other extreme—thereby offering a safe channel to vessels of the class of the Great Eastern. We may mention that the channel is bounded by nar row banks extending in a north-westward and south-east by east direction, all partaking of the same formation (sand) in the shoe lest parts, with a mixture of mud and sand between. The following brief remarks have been prepared to show the ad vantage of this passage over the Lucipara Chan nel :—" The disadvantages which the Channel of Lucipara offers to seamen may be mentioned in a few words—the whole coast of Sumatra about the straits of Banca consists of low, muddy, mangrove shores, and varies from 50 to 60ft. in height ; it is unmarked by a single conspicuous object. A mud flat extends from the shore along its entire length, and which a few miles out of Lucipara reaches to a distance of eleven miles from the land. There is also but little variation in the depth of water be tween Sumatra coast and Lucipara shoals. Luci para is a small island, half a mile in length and only 164 ft. in height, with rocks extending a con siderable distance south ward and eastwards of it, and to clear which no marks can be given. From the above circumstances vessels frequently get ashore in using the Lucipara Channel, and in re ference to the tides to be met with the late Lieut. Smits, of the Dutch navy, in his "Seaman's Guide for the Straits of Banca," remarks that during the months of January, February, and March, when the north-west monsoon is at its fall strength, the southern current continues from fourteen to eighteen hours successively with a velocity of from 2 to 31 knots, which renders it almost im possible for vessels to make any progress in beat ing up against it. And I have been informdd that during the latter part of the south-east mon soon it frequently blows hard from the south west, accompanied with mucli rain, which would con siderably retard ships going to the southward through the Lucipara Channel, and offer a fair wind to the opposite channel. The advantages of the new channel are as follow :—The approaches are marked by the well defined mountain of St. Paul's and conical hills of Gadong and Tabo Alie Lama, and in fine clear weather the more dis tinct range of Padang. These cannot fail to point out this channel, and the deep water within half a mile of the Dapur P. will give strangers confidence in steering for the land. The water also being much deeper than in the Lucipara Channel causes banks which are mostly sand to be easily recognised by the light colour of the water on them. The tide flows more regularly in this channel and also sots directly through it, which enables vessels even in calms to drop through ; whereas ships are often, in light airs and calms, set over amo ng th e dangerous banks while rounding First point in their endeavour to get through the Lucipara. The wind in the north-west monsoon blows off the land on the Banca shore, and throughout the year land breezes generally occur during the night. We have often experienced a string land breeze from the north east even in the south-east monsoon, when the wind Was blowing directly through the Lucipara Channel from the south-west. Prominent hills and points are to be seen along the Banca coast, bearings of which will enable a vessel at any time to ascertain her position. The channel is also three miles broad in its narrowest part, while the Lucipara is but two miles, and a depth of not less than seven fathoms will enable vessels of the largest size to pass through at sny time or tide. This channel, therefore, possesses many advan tages over the Lucipara, and the late Lieutenant Smits of the Dutch navy, whose greater experi ence in these seas gives more force to my own observations, states, in his direction before refer red to, that the passage between Lucipara and Banca would have great advantages in entering or leaving the Straits of Banca (were it not en cumbered so much with shores and banks), the position of which is now, by the recent survey, correctly known." —Singapore Straits Times.

COMMERCIAL CLERKS' BENEVOLENT INSTITU TION.—The annual ball and supper of the above institution were held last night at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street, under the auspices of the Lord and Lady Mayoress. The company, which was most numerous, included among its members Sir James Duke, Alderman and Sheriff Philipps, Alderman Mechi, Dr. Carter Murphy, Mr. Yates, Mr. J. Adis, Mr. Boothby, Mr. Holloday, and Mr. Storey, and the heads of many well-known city housre. The spacious room in which the dancing was carried on was very well adapted for the purpose, and did not present the usual crush of ball-rooms, where all try but few only succeed in danc ing. Mr Adams's band was in attendance, and contributed no little to the entertainment of the evening by its vivacity and spirit, and by infusing the same qualities by sympathy into the limbs and muscle s o f th e d ancers. A supper of first-rate quality was served to renew the exhausted ener gies of the guests, after which the dancing recommenced, and was kept up until a late hour. Mr. Frampton was the effective master of the ceremonies, and Mr. Higgs was toastmaster. STUD HORSES IN FRANCE, 1860.—The stallions in France for IMO, aro as follows :—At Paris, The Flying Dutchman, Cossach and The Baron. At Chantilly, Nuncio. Each will serve 40 mares at 200 f. per mare. AN HONEST THlEF.—Frederick Pouglass tells the following story :—When he was a slave in Maryland, he observed that an old negro named Sandy had the appear ance of being always well fed, and looked very fat. He asked Sandy if he could explain how it happened so. " Wall," says Sandy, " I steals it." Douglass remonstrat ing on this point, Sandy replied (pointing to a pig), " D'ye see dat ere animal dere ?" "Yes." " Wall, dat ere and I massa's property; derefore put dat dare property in dis property, and it's all right."—American Paper. CHRISTMAS FARE FROM THE EASTERN COUN TIES.—In how largo a' proportion East Anglia contributes to the creature comforts of London may be inferred from the following authentic statement of the Christmas faro carried on the Eastern Counties Railway, from the 17th to the 24th December, inclusive :—Fish, 213 tons ; meat, 297 ditto •, poultry, 243 ditto ; oysters, 16 ditto ; 11,166 t ur k eys , 13 , 66 0 geese; 1,600 pheasant s , 560 hares, 650 ducks, 93 sucking pigs, 1,111 oxen, 4,141 sheep, 1,892 sacks potatoes, 14,2-59 sacks flour; 69 hogsheads, 1,979 barrels, 2,159 firkins, 2,253 kilderkins of beer ; and 40,916 quarts of milk. LORD PALMERSTON AMONGST HIS TENANTS.— On-Thursday the mortal remains of Dr. Beddomo, who was much respected at Romsey, and who was six times mayor of the borough, were conveyed to their last resting place. The shops of the town were closed, and a large number of persons followed the mournful procession. Among the chief mourners was Lord Palmerston, who ex pressed deep sympathy on the occasion, and won the re spect of all present by the tribute of affection to the memory of the deceased. POOR-RATES AND PAUPERISM. The usual monthly comparative statement of pauper statistics for November was published yesterday by order of the hon. the House of Commons, on the motion of the Earl of March, M.P. The decrease of pauperism continues. In the last week of November the number of persons receiving relief in England and Wales amounted to 800,407 (plus 674 at Alverstoko), against 837,291 in 1858, thus exhibiting a decrease of 36,824, or 4.40 per cent. This decrease ex tended to all the 11 districts of England and Wales, and in the metropolitan was as high as 6.88 per . cent. In the third week of November the general decrease of pauperism was 3.84 per cent. ; in the second week, 3.74 ; and in the first week, 3.79 per cent. Thus the returns of pauper sta tistics happily continue to be in the highest degree satis factory. WASHINGTON IRVINE AND WASHINGTON.—But Mr. Irving had himself seen General Washington. He said there was Immo celebration going on in New York, and the General was there to participate in the ceremony. "My nurse," continued Mr. Irving, " a good old Scotch woman, was very anxious for me to see hi m , an d h e ld me up in her arms as he rode past. This, however did -Dr` me in satisfy her; so the next day, when walkixisr• - •"" 1 seized my hand, Broadway, she' espied him in a sh and darting in, exclaimed, ;n her bland Scotch, Please your Excellency, h er e's a bairn that's call e d a ft er y e General wa.bington then turned his benevolent face full upon me, smiled, laid his hand upon mrhead, and gave me his blessing, which," added Mr. Irving, earnestly, " I have reason to believe has attended me through life. I was hut, five years old, yet I can feel that hand even now."—Onc ' As a signal instance of the success of this method of colonisation we may point to our Australian group of colonies, and more especially to that pro vince which has so far outstripped its neighbours and competitors, the noble colony of Victoria. It is now just 22 years since this colony was founded, and the first kangaroo gave place to the inroad of the first civilised man. The balance -sheet of the colony for the year 1858 is now lying before us. The receipts for that year amount in round numbers to £3,000,000, the import duties alone amounting to £1,318,000, the export duty on gold to £316,000, the sales of public lands to £628,000, the rent of public lands and licences of different trades to £331,000, and the postag e to £89,000. It seems absol u t e l y i ncre dib le that such a fabric of prosperity can have been raised in such a short time by the entirely unaided exertions of a com munity a considerable portion of whom have been brought to their present position by a voyage nearly equalling in extent two-thirds of the diameter of the globe, without pecuniary assistance from the mother country, and with nothing but their own good sense and energy to guide them. It is indeed impossible to say how much more prosperous Vic toria might have been had England more rigorously abstained from interference with her concerns, had she not by ill-advised meddling raised up within the colony a land monopoly, and checked the pro gress of agricultural settlement by throwing diffi culties in the way of the acquisition of the soil. This fatal legacy of Imperial meddling still re mains, and it is indeed wonderful to think what has been done in spite of so serious a drawback. This revenue has been raised by taxes imposed by the votes of a freely elected Assembly, and will be appropriated in like manner. It is pretty nearly equal, if we mistake not, to the revenue extracted by the Papal Government from three millions and upwards of unfortunate sub jects; but no part of it is raised by a lottery, and no part of it is wasted on the disorderly police misnamed the Papal Army. We very much doubt, with all reverence be it spoken, whether the Pope would expend the money as well as the Assem bly elected by the rude adventurers who have crowded to this remote corner of the world. £114;000 for education, £24,000 for scientific pur poses, £25,000 for sanitary improvements, £769,000 for useful public works, £25,000 towards the relief of sufferers by the Sepoy mutiny, £7,000 for a pub lic library, £B,OOO for an University purely secular, and, above all, a cash balance of £458,000, are items of Victorian expenditure which might well make infallibility blush, if infallibility had not long lost the habit. Strange that it should be so easy for a community consisting, for the most part, of needy and adventurous exiles, to raise up in 20 years a fabric of prosperity which it would take the successors of St. Peter at least a single generation effectually to destroy. THE OCEAN MAIL SERVICE.—SOUTHAMPTON, Dee. 30.—The North German Lloyd screw steamship Now York, Captain H. J. Von Santen, sailed hence yesterday for New York, with the German and English mails, about 130 passengers, and 1,300 tons of freight. On leaving the New York off the Needles, Mr. James Bowyer, who had piloted her out had a narrow escape from death, a heavy sea breaking kis boat to pieces and knocking him with great violence against the ship, but ultimately Mr. Bowyer and both his men were rescued. The following steamships are expected to arrive at this port during the next fortnight : The China, Captain Cook, with Bombay mails, now due; the Plata, Captain Weller, with the West India and Mexi can mails, expected hourly ; the Euxine, Captain Hall, with the Peninsular mails, on Saturday; the Bremen, Captain Wessels, on the 4th proximo, from New York, with mails of the 24th inst. ; the Delta, Captain Black, with the East India and China mails, on the 4th ; the Tyne, Captain Rivett, with the Brazil and River Plate mails, on the sth ; the Sultan, Captain Vincent, with the Peninsula mails, ort the 11th; and the Pora, Captain T. Jamieson, with tho Australia and Bombay mails, on the 12th. The outward steamers during the same period are as follow :—The Parana, Captain Bevis, with the West India, Mexico, and Pacific mails, leaves on the 2d ; the Ceylon, Captain Evans, with the India and China mails, on the 4th ; tho Phoebe, Captain Clark, for the Cape of Good Hope, on the 4th, calling at Plymouth for the mails; the Teutonic, Captain Henson. for New York, on the 6th, with German and English mails; the Tagus, Captain Hall, with mails for Vigo, Oporto, and Lisbon, on the 7th ; the Oneida, Capt. Leeds, with mails for the Brazils and River Plate, on the 9th ; the Fulton, Capt. Wotton, for New York, on the 11th, with French and English mails ; and the China, Capt. Cook, with the Bombay and Australian mails, on the 12th. EEXTENSIVE FlRE.—Yesterday morning a fire, attended with great loss of property, broke out between the hours of one and two o'clock on the premises of Mr. W. Warren, linen draper, 209, Whitechapel-road. The firs was not subdued until the premises were destroyed and file adjoining houses considerably damaged. The mum is un known. The lo ss will f a ll on t h e R oya l Exchange and other fire offices. I ANOTHER ELOPEMENT.—We regret to have this week to record the elopement of the wife of Mr. Smith Ban nerman (a gentleman of large property living at Hunton, near Maidstone), with the Rev. A. W. Green, curate to the Rev. Canon Moore, at Hunton. It seems that the painful fact was discovered by Mr. Bannerman on bluetTr77 day's hunting, and there can. be s P e :. mor , and only pu ment had been planned leDfirlitrltad got four hours' start of their y. The guilty couple were tra t f o or G a r f a a x v -,?.....i ura , b and Mr. Bannerman only learned that they had crossed the water in a boat that had been off Gravesend for some weeks. It is stated that they had been seen with a brace of loaded pistols, as if determined upon extremeties in case they had been overtaken. The affair has occasioned the most painful feeling among all classes of the community in the neighbourhood where it occurred. The curate, Mr. Green, had always been looked upon with respect for the faithful discharge of his clerical duties, and Canon Moore, the rector of Hunton, had a particular regard for him. The lady has property in her own right atuouUting to £lOO,OOO. —Kentish Observer of yesterday, ENGLISH COLONISA TION. - In the recent torrent of abuse which has been poured forth from so many vials on England and everything English, sve have been over and over again reproached with the most greedy and bound less ambition, andwith a lust for domination which nothing short of the empire of the whole world can satiate. Robbers on land, pirates on the deep ; crushing all rival interests by monopoly, and when the policy of monopoly is worn out, crushing all rival interests still more successfully by free trade ; plundering India, seeking for a footing in China, first exhausting. then deserting the - West Indies,—no object is too large for the ambition or too small for the cupidity of perfidious Albion. The same maw that has swallowed up the Empire of the Great Mogul can condescend to make a meal on such petty daintiss as Gibraltar, Malta, Corfa, and the ' singularly hard and dry morsel of Perim. It is in vain we protest that, if our censors have not outlived the illusions of territorial ambition, at any rate we have. Our censors do not believe in such modera tion, probably because they feel incapable of it themselves, and cannot imagine how we can be proof to temptation which to them- would be per fectly irresistible. When France is lavishing er millions of t reasure and thousands o f valuable livhes to add to her dominions the poor and sandy wastes of North Africa, or to subdue the fierce and blood thirsty savages who crowd her possessions in the South Pacific ; when Spain, after having lost during the present century the whole continent of South America, and no inconsiderable portion of the North, is seeking to indemnify herself by a raid on the barbarous hordes of Mauritania ; when Austria, with a bankrupt treasury and half-a dozen provinces on the point of rebellion, prefers to encounter the ruin which stares her in the face rather than abandon the alien province of Venetia, the revenue of which is quite unequal to its extra military expense—how can France, Spain, or Aus tria believe us when we tell them that we are sick of territorial acquisition, that we would gladly diminish the limits of our sway, and that we hold our vast territories in a very different spirit from that in which our ancestors acquired them ? Yet we ought to be believed notwithstanding. We disclaim conquest, net from any particular disinterestedness, but because we have discovered a simpler, a surer, and a more innocent way to na tional prosperity. We are the fortunate possessors of an art of which, although we make no secret, no other nati on h as proved able to avail itself. We have shown that we can conquer, but so in its turn has every people in Europe, from Sweden in the north to Spain in the south. But that which we have done, and wflich no other nation since the days of ancient Greece has been able to do, is to plant colonies, to raise up in distant lands commu nities which, secure under the aegis of our power from invasion or insult, devote their whole energies to the arts of peace, and govern themselves by spontaneous choice, according to the laws and institutions of the parent State. At a very small expense of money, and at no expense at all of blood, we have placed in the Northern and Southern Tem perate Zones numerous communities whose free commerce repays us a hundredfold the expenses of their foundation, whose broad lands offer an asylum to men whose enterprising spirit is discontented with the slow progress that can be made in an old and thickly-peopled country, and whose successful settlers, returning home with accu mulated wealth, very perceptibly increase the riches of the mother country. Why should we em bark in the uncertainties of war when we can secure peaceful yet glorious triumphs as these ? We have given to our colonies the means of mak ing such laws as please them, we have relieved them from all commercial restraints, and in great measure from the necessity of incurring expendi ture for self-defence. With the English money market to draw on for loans, with the English army and navy to defend them from attack, they are placed in a position as happy and as prosperous as ever fell to the lot of any large number of the hu man race. We have given them, besides, perfect religious equality. What wonder, then, if our cola vies have been able so far to outstrip communities nursed in the doctrines of monopoly, of centralising interference, and of intellectual and religious sub servience ?
