Wen/atilt it 45th New York came to the rescue and turned the tide of fortune in our favour. Both parties suffered severely in the action. The rebels retreated in great confusion, while our men made the woods resound with cheers. " The result of the battle secures to the Union troops a very important position, inasmuch as it commands the approaches on each side of the moun tain, also a vast area of the surrounding country. I estimate, as before stated, that 2,090 will cover the list of our casualties. I think the enemy's loss in killed and wounded will not exceed our own. Altogether we cap! ured 2,000 prisoners. " General Reno was killed on the field of battle. At the time of the calamity he was observing, by aid of a glass, the enemy's movements. i.el was struck in the spine by a musket gal', the b:)11 lodging in the breast." A Louisville dispatch says "The military commenced fortifying the city yesterday. Negroes were impressed, throwing up rifle pits and digging breastworks. "There is nothing reliable from Mumfordsville. The Journal to-day received information that Col. Wilder and his gallant band, after fighting three days, were forced to surrender to an overwhelming force of the enemy at 12 o'clock on Tuesday night." A letter from - New Orleans has the following paragraph : "Admiral Farragut, with the flag-ship Hartford; some dozen or more gunboats, and Commander Por ter's mortar fleet are still rusticating in Pensacola Bay, as they were two weeks ago when the blockad ing squadron at Mobile allowed a heavily armed iron-clad gunboat to pass under their guns into the .harbour of Mobile without so much as throwing a shot at the monster, which flaunted the secession flag in their face." The Northern papers contain numerous statements as to alleged barbarities on the part of the seces sionists. One statement is to the effect that Federal prisoners were horribly treated at Richmond, that some had died of actual starvation, and that sen tinels were again shooting at prisoners who looked out of their windows. It is represented that Pope's officers are in a terrible plight, being in double irons, and some of them almost naked. It is as serted that a party of Missippians tied to a tree and disembowelled one of Farragut's men, near Vicks burg. Another party hung an old lady who advised them to desist in endeavouring to break up our Government. THE SUN, LONDOV, THURSDAY EVENBG, OCTOBER 2, 1862. SPOR7ING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. WEDNESDAY. The racing to-day commenced with a " sensation" such as the oldast turfite cannot remember to have witnessed since Lucifer beat Rockingham at Goodwood in 1835. Fordham was winning so easily that be pulled Amy up within a few strides of home, when Rogers upon Wild Rose, who had been third at the cords, came with a rash and de feated him. The shouts of the fielders, who were unable to get their money on against Wild Rose, may be imagined. The St. Leger created much interest, and a great deal of betting between Carisbrook and Welcome ; but the races after that event were of minor importance, until the Trien nial came on for decision, when three ran, and the favou rite won easily, although each was certain of winning something. The Granby terminated the sport of a lovely afternoon. Bohemia ran in the colours of her new owner, and by winning repaid a portion of the money paid for her on Monday. Fifty Pounds for 3-yr-olds and upwards, weight for age. The winner to be sold for 300 sovs. D, I. 2 miles 119 yards. Mr. Bignell's Wild Rose, 6 yrs, Bst 131 b.... (S. Rogers) 1 Mr. It.

Adams) 6 The betting opened at 2 to 1 agst Wild Rose, and closed at 10 to 1, 6 to 4 agst Amy, 6 to 1 agst Conundrum, and 100 to 15 agst Desmond. Wild Rose on the far side cut out the work at a steady pace, followed by Tonio and Desmond, two or three lengths separating them from Amy, who was closely attended by Conundrum and Prince Edward. On reaching the turn of the lands Tonio gave place to Desmond and Amy, who waited upon Wild Rose to the " red post," where the favourite came out, and in a few strides obtained a slight lead, followed by Conundrum and Desmond to within a stride or two of the chair, where Fordham eased the fa vourite, which Rogers observing he came with a rush, and won a stolen race on the post by a neck, to the no little sur prise of the rider of Amy. Conundrum finished a bad third. The others were pulling up as they passed the post. The winner was claimed by Lord Coventry.

THE _HARVEST HOME AT REDHILL. Few institutior, s are more deserving of support or better known to practical philanthropists —more especially to those connected with the reformation of juvenile offenders—than the Philanth ro pi c S oc i ety ' s Farm School at Redhill, Th e society itself w as or i g i nal l y established in 1788, but having gradually increased i n i mportance and extende d it s opera tions, in 1849 it t oo k a new form, and opened up a w id er field for the p ract i ca l re f ormation of juvenile offenders. At Redhill, in the c oun t y o f S urrey, about a. m il e f rom the Redhill R a il way S tation on the South Eastern an d Brighton Rail ways , th e society now occupies a farm o f 240 acres of capital land, about 40 of which are pasture and the rest arable. On this estate there are some fine large buildings, or as they are technically termed, "houses," each fitted up with every convenience for the health and comfort of fifty boys. There are baths, airy dormitories, dining rooms, and workshops; a master, a matron, and rent trades of c ar p en t ers, brickmakers, tailors, mechanics well qualified to i ns t ruct the goys in the diffa makers, and bla c k sm ith s. They are aiso trained to all kinds of farm work—di gg i ng, draining, reaping, milk i ng, the care of stock, & c . ; and, in fact, for la boy to be i n shoe charge of the soci e ty i s t o b e in the fair way of qualify ing ,himself to o bt a i n an honest living 111 of the world whe re use f ul occupations are a qualificat i on for remunerative e m pl oyment. There is also a church on the estate and a ch a pl a i n, the Rev. Charles Walters, who has a general sup er i n t endence over the moral and religious any part progress of the boys, and a tender anxiety to promote their welfare. There is a retired noa-commissioned officer living on the farm, who drills the bo3 s daily, and teaches some of them music. To gain admission into the institution it is necessary that a boy must first have been convicted of some crime, and ho must be between 10 and 16 years of age. The committee send annually about 40 or 50 boys as emigrants to Australia, Canada, or Africa, and would be glad to send many more, for a much larger proportion of them relapse into crime in England than in the colonies, but the expense is a very heavy item, and depends almost ex elusively on the munificence of the friends of the hatitu tion. The society is entirely a private institution, but the committee have agreements with nine counties and five boroughs, to take their criminal boys sentenced for long periods, and they believe that from 70 to 80 per cent, of those who come under their care go forth reclaimed. They believe also that the existence of their institution, and their power to receive delinquents from different parts, have been the means of saving many counties the expense of building reformatories by a compulsory rate. The number of boys now in the schools is 254, and yes , terday these boys had a grand holiday in celebration of their "harvest home." Early in the day they were mak ing preparations for the reception of visitors, and in the coarse of the day they were favoured with the company of many of the most influential residents in the neighbour hood, as well as with that of many gentlemen well known in metropolitan circles. Among them were Sir J. Tyler, Mr. H. E. Gurney, Mr. C. White, Mr. W. A. Tollemache, Rev. P. B. Gilbert, Mr. P. Hanbury, Mr. G. Lyall, M.P., Rev. A. Cazenove, Rev. Mr. Parkinson, Rev. Mr. Gooch, and Mr. 1. A. Beaumont. Numerous ladies were also pre sent, and gave a lively air to the proceedings. At 1 o'clock the boys commenced their games on a large playground, which is situated in the centre of this singular industrial colony. They had hurdle races, flat races, and steeplechases, long jumps, high jumps, and jumping in sacks, each of which afforded enjoyment to the partici pants and amusement to the spectators. True, the prizes were not very valuable : those for the hurdle races ranging from Is. to 2d., the jumps from Gd. to 4d., the flat races from 6d. to 2d. There was a special flat race for a series of five tradesmen's prizes, ranging from 2s. to 3d. ; and Sir J. Tyler generously contributed half-a •guinea on the spot, which was divided into three prizes of 3s. Gd. each, for which the competition was unusually sharp and spirited. The course was not a very long one, and there was no grand stand; we did not even observe the presence of the " and if there was any betting it was done sub rosa; never theless the fun was fast and furious, and the emulation was as keen as if the blue ribbon of the Derby had been in question ; the boys cheering lustily for the honour of their different "houses" when prizes were carried off, and evi dently regarding every prize as being an honour to them selves as well as to the winners personally. Besides these prize competitions there were the less exciting, but equally healthful, recreations of cricket, football, pole climbing, and leaping. It was striking to observe the perfect unanimity which prevailed among these 250 boys ; we did not see a single quarrel, or hear one angry word spoken ; and it was pleasant to witness so much rr.al enjoyment, and perhaps perfect happiness, among 250 boys, every one of whom had been convicted of breaking the laws of the country, and most of whom probably, but for the existence of this society, would at that very time have been engaged in the perpe tration of fresh crimes, or tumbling about the gutters of London, or incarcerated in prison. And it was even more pleasant to reflect that although they were all under sen tence—if that term be not a little too strong—to remain on the Farm for a specified number of years without permis sion to leave it, that their stay was to some extent volun tary, since the grounds are open to the road, with no boles or bars to keep them in. Here and there, however, a boy was seen whose corduroy jacket (they all wear corduroy) bore the words "Farm-school," in large characters, which we were given to understand was an intimation to all whom it might concern, that the wearer of the jacket had been a runaway. At the conclusion of the sports, at 5 o'clock, the boys, headed by their band—which had played at intervals dur ing the day, and with a tolerable degree of efficiency— marched to the dining-room adjoining the chapel, where a supper had been prepared for them in honour of their har vest home. Here, after grace had been sung, they sat down at long ranges of tables covered with plates of cold beef and pork, by the side of each of which was a large loaf of bread, and a large basin of tea, which were speedily disposed of, and were followed by plates of plum pie—and such plates each one a supper for a giant. The boys said they didn't often get such meat or such pie, and when they did they " tucked it in." And it was pleasant to see them eat and drink, and enjoy themselves, in a spacious building as beau tifully decorated as a baronial hall, and so opposed in all its belongings to the hovels in which many of them had been dragged up, or the homeless desolation of others. After the cloth had been removed, the boys sang their " Harvest Home" song. Mr. WHITE, having taken the chair, said he had a few words to speak to them. As an old governor, he assured them that the sight was very grateful to him. He had been connected with the society for 20 years, and before that he was an observer of it. Then it was in St. George's-road, change had been for their benefit. lie ha d made it his duty to see the h ea d s of all the different wards, and it had given him more pleasure than he could express that all the reports he received were favourable. A good deal of this must have resulted from the labours of their excellent cler gyman, Mr. Walters, w h o cared so well for them.Therethey were, on 200 acres of land, with no walls and no spikes, with no difficuly in getting ou t o f bounds, and yet there had been only three transgressions during the last six months. it gave the committee pleasure to find there were so :few delinquencies. Since 1849 there had been 1,500 boys received into the school, of whom 650 had emigrated. Of those who had done so more than 90 per cent, had done well; and of those who had returned to their homes, or gone to trades, or into the army or the navy, the committee bad also received good accounts, to the extent of from 70 to 80 per cent. In conclusion, he exhorted them all to be good now, and show their gratitude by their good conduct here after. (Cheers.) Mr. CHARLES (secretary to the Reformatory and Refuge Union) said he had been to Canada officially to see whether the boys who had been sent out were doing well, and whether it was advisable to send out any more. He had found that some of the boys were going on well, and some were going on badly. Did any of them know John Webster? (Yes, yes.) Well, they knew when he left the school ; and he was now getting 20 dollars, or £5 a month, with board and lodging, and he had got 150 dollars in the bank, (Loud cheers and glistening eyes.) Bat some boys had gone out to Canada expecting to get plenty of money without hard work, and because they could not do so had turned out badly. There was plenty of room in Canada for all who would work hard. They must work harder in Canada than in England to get an honest living, but if they worked hard they could do much better than in England, (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to distribute prizes of books, neckties, &c., to different boys, who had distin guished themselves during the past year for good conduct, exemplary conduct, general improvement, cleanliness, &c. Other addresses were delivered, several songs were sung by the boys, and an evening was passed pleasantly and ra tionally by 250 convicted juvenile offe nders, and a large number of practical and beneficent philanthropists, to whose exertions the redemption of these boys from a life of crime is mainly owing. There is yet another itkode of relief of the distress in Lancashire; and to me it seems that none can be more important. It has an advantage in 9313 probability of its being self-supporting, and it has a .disadvantag e in being dependent on local effort—and especially the efforts of resi dent women. Money and spnithl:'lg,more may bo g i ven from a distance; but the aid in Ina cannot be anythi ng like the contributions that may be sent to the Sewing schools. The appeal must therefore be made to the ladies of Mancheste r , and the other tow ns in t he distressed dis trict ; and if I may be permitted to speak se strongly, I do conjure th ose l a di es t o set to work without one d ay ' s d elay to establish Cooking-schools in their own neighbourhood.

If not, I would ask them whether any way was ever m ore plain before women anxious to do good ; or whether there was ever a more urgent need that It dattld In followed r—Once a Week. THE WAR IN AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. The Canadian screw steamer Norwegian Captain M'Master, which sailed from Quebec on the 20th, and called at Cape Race on the 23d, arrived in the Mersey at an early hour this morning. Our latest papers are from New York of the morning of the 181, Boston, evening of the 18th ; Portland, morning of 19th ; and Quebec 20th ult. The following telegrams detail all that was known as to the great battles in Maryland : "Head-quarters, Army of the Potomac, Sept. 16, via. Frederick, Sept. 18. "TO THE ASSOCIATED rnEss. " During this afternoon information was received at head-quarters, showing that the enemy were re crossing the river, and concentrating their forces on the ridge of hills outside the town of Sharpsburg, to within three miles of the main body of our army. "Jackson left Harper's Ferry this morning. His troops commenced to arrive during the after noon. When it became evident that Lee was dis posed to engage our force in battle at this point, General M'Clellan sent for Franklin's corps and Couch's division, who were about seven miles distant, on the other side of Elk Ridge. There was considerable artillery firing during the day on both sides, resulting in our having about 40 men killed and wounded. Major Arnedt, of the Ist New York Artillery was struck in the side by a piece of shell. The disposition of the troops for the impending battle was as follows :—General Sumner's corps, with General Bank's division, ;to occupy the centre. General Hooker's corps, with the Pennsylvania reserve and Franklin's corps, on the right ; Generals Porter and Burnside on the ex treme left, with the view of turning the enemy's right flank. General Pleasanton supported the centre:with 2,500 cavalry and four batteries. "General Hooker in the afternoon crossed Antie tum Creek, and took up a position on the hills facing Sharpsburg, and three miles to the right of Keetsville. His troops got into action about dusk. The battle lasted two hours, during which the enemy were driven about half a mile with consider able loss. The Pennsylvanian reserves, who were in front, suffered much. The night was occupied in getting the troops in their respective positions, while ammunition trains and ambulances were for warded to the different commands." " Head-quarters of the Army of the Potomac, Sept. 17. via Frederick, Maryland, Sept. 18, " This has been an eventful day in the history of the rebellion, A battle has taken place in which the army of the Potomac has been again victorious, and which exceeded in extent any battle heretofore fought on this continent. "At the dawn of day the battle was renewed on the centre right by Hooker and Sumner, who, after a sharp contest of two hours, drove the enemy about one mile. The rebels rallied shortly afterward, and with terrible loss regained most of the lost ground. At this time the fearless and indomitable Hooker received a shot in the ankle, and was car ried from the field. The command of his troops now devolved upon Sumner. " Richardson, commanding a division, was se verely wounded at the same time. 4 ' General Sumner, determined to take the lost ground, ordered the troops to advance, which they did with a will, driving the enemy before them with great slaughter. _ _ _ " They not only took the ground, but drove them a quarter of a mile beyond. In the action General Mansfield was shot through the lungs and died soon after. During this time the troops under Burnside and Porter had not been idle. They drove the rebels from the line of Antietum Creek, on the main road to Sharpsburg, built a bridge—the uld having been destroyed—and occupied the opposite bank. The loss here was considerable. The troops now hold both banks of the creek. To get pos session of the ridge of hills on the right and left hand sides of the road from which the rebels were thundering away with artillery was a task not easily accomplished. " Sykes's brigade, with the assistance of Sumner, carried the ridge on the right-hand side, after con siderable trouble and loss, the rebels running in all directions. " It is now five o'clock, and all the enemy's posi tions have been carried except the one on the left hand side of the road. To do this Burnside was assigned. The artillery opened and the infantry advanced. The point was carried at a charge, but we were forced to retire before superior force. Knowing that if they lost this ridge a complete route of their army would be the result they fought with great desperation. Darkness now overlooked the two armies, and hostilities ceased as though by mutual:consent. " The battle lasted from five in the morning till seven at night without a moment's cessation. The conduct of all troops, without exception, was all that any general could wish. " Several regiments of New York troops who were in action for the first time behaved admirably. Hundreds of Marylanders were present to witness the battle, which could be seen from many of the surrounding hills. The sharp rattle of 50,000 mus kets, and the thunder of 100 pieces of artillery is not often witnessed. It is impossible at this writing to form any correct idea of our loss or that of the enemy. It is heavy on both sides. Ours will probably reach in killed and wounded 10,000, that of the enemy will not exceed it. The enemy's dead, which nearly all fell into our hands, were thickly strewn over the field, in many places lying in heaps. " Our wounded were carried from the field, and the best possible attention given them. When Gen. Hooker fell, Gen. IVi'Clellan immediately proceeded to the right, where he was enthusiastically received, and by his presence added much to our success in recovering the ground lost, and he was in the centre and left, as well as anxiously watching the progress of the battle, and giving directions as to the man ner of attack. He is in his tent to-night for the first time since he left Frederick City." " Centreville, Maryland, Sept. 17_ «A great battle has been fought, and we are victorious. I had the honour to open it yesterday afternoon, and it continued until ten o'clock this morning, when I was wounded and compelled to leave the field. The battle was fought with great violence on both sides. The carnage has been awful. I only regret that I was not permitted to take part in the operations until they were con cluded, for I had counted on either capturing their army or driving them into the Potomac. My wound has been painful, but it is not one that will be likely to lay me up. I was shot through the foot. ' (Signed) " S. HOOKER, Major-General." " Harrisburg, Sept. 18. " The news received during the last night indi cates that the result of yesterday's fight was deci dedly in our favour, but still another battle is neces sary to determine who shall be the victor. It was expected that the battle would be again rene wed this morning, but no firing has been hea rd, a . a LI it is supposed that the burying of the , a , eau the order of the day.

Citizens are anxious to do all in their power for the comfort of those who are fighting for the support of the Federal Government. " Troops are still coming in by thousands, and are immediately forwarded; the Government having complete control of the road to Chambers burg and Hagerstown. Regular trains to these points were suspended to-day—they will be re sumed in a few days. " EVENlNG.—.Advices just received at head quarters, from Hagerstown, confiiu the report that no fight had taken place to-day, that the rebels are supposed to be short of ammunition, and that the fight would probably commence at daybreak to morrow. Our troops are said to have behaved nobly, and talk confidently of gaining a great vic tory to morrow." " Harrisburg, Sept. 19. " The great battle was resumed this morning at Sharpsburg. Heavy cannonading is now heard at Hagerstown. No particulars received yet. Our soldiers were exultant at the result f the previous day's fight, and General AlTlellan was in the highest spirits. The opinion of General M'Clellan and those around him, was that the final result would depend on those who got reinforce ments. Our correspondent says that nothing has been heard on the field of the capture of Gen. Long street, or the killing of Gem Hill, and that there is no truth in either report. Twenty thousand more reinforcements were expected to reach the field yesterday from Harrisburg. Our informant thinks the rebels lost as much as we did. The gen tleman who furnishes us with the foregoing intel ligence is one of our respectable and intelligent citizens, and says, that while the battle of Wednes day was not a decisive one, it was a contest in which all the advantages were with M'Clellan, who occupied the field of battle at the close of the day." " Philadelphia, Sept. 19. " The Inquirer has a special despatch from Baltimore, which more than confirms yesterday's good news. General M'Clellan on Wednesday gave the rebels four hours to surrender ; they refused, and General M'Clellan went at them again, and the ground was piled with rebels killed and wounded. They were completely invested and surrounded on all sides, and there was not the least chance of escaping annihilation. Gen. M'Clellan is only waiting his despatch to announce the complete success of his army . " Private dispatches of the 18th from points near Harper's Ferry seem to leave no reasonable doubt as to the recapture of Harper's Ferry by Gen. Burn side, and the occupation by strong Union guards of of all the river forts between Harper's Ferry and Williamsport." A Harrisburg dispatch to a Philadelphia journal makes the following sanguine predictions : " The entire rebel army will be captured or killed. There is no chance left for them to cross the Poto mac, as the river is rising, and our troops are push ing them continually, and sending prisoners to the rear. Stonewall Jackson's army is with Gen. Lee, and he, with other distinguished officers, will be forced to surrender within a day or two. Our im mense army is in motion. Our generals are certain of ultimate success." The same authority also says : " It is reported here that General Mills re-enacted his Bull Run scene at Harper's Ferry, which was surrendered to the rebels in a shameful manner. " Paroled prisoners from Richmond say that troops continue to arrive from the South, but were sent thence as soon as possible. This is corroborated from other sources, leaving no doubt that the Confederates were concentrating in large force in the Shenandoah valley, with a centre military department at Win- chester, which is strongly fortified.' A Washington telegram of the 19th, says : "A force consisting► of artillery and infantry left Gen. Sigel's headquarters yesterday morning on a reconnaissance towards Leesburg. On arriving at Goosecreek the passage of that stream was disputed by a squadron of rebel cavalry, who, however, were soon put to flight by our artillery. Our force then proceeded to Leesburg, which place they found oc cupied by one regiment of rebel infantry and a battalion of cavalry. After a short engagement the enemy were driven out of the town with considerable loss. We captured the regimental flag, a number of guns, and a number of prisoners. _ _ . The following are among the casualties in the last great battle :—Major General Hooker wounded seriously in the foot; Major Sedgwiek severely in the shoulder, wrist, and leg; Major General Rod man, mortally wounded ; Major General Richard. son, wounded in shoulder seriously; Brigadier General Mansfield, mortally wounded and died; Brigadier General Hartsuff, severely; Brigadier Weber, Brigadier General Meagher, Brigadier General Duryea, Col. Hinds, killed. It is not known in official quarters, as recently reported, that Charleston has been invested, nor that there is sufficient force in thatvicinity to make such an effort successful." In regard to the affair at Mumfordsville we have the following:— " Indianopolis, Sept. 19. " An adjutant who escaped from Mumfordsville, after the surrender of that place to the rebels, has reached here, and reports that the garrison there, comprising 17th, 50th, 60th, 67th, 68th, and 69th Indiana Regiments, one company cavalry, and 10 pieces of artillery surrendered. The surrender was made on Wednesday, our forces being completely surrounded by Gen. Bragg, whose force is estimated at 30,000 men. Our loss in killed and wounded was 50. The rebels acknowledged a loss of 700 on Sunday," A correspondent of the New York Tones gives the following particulars of the battle of the 14th ult.:— " A heavy cannonading ensued, but as usual in 1 artillery duels littl e d amage was e ff ec t e d on eith er side.

Cooks battery took a ~ Coo favourable position for shell i n g the woods in advance of the division, but had hardly got to work when the rebels fired a tremendous volley of musketry at the cannoniers. This was repeated several times in quick succession, until the cannoniers abandoned th • • their pieces, and ran to the rear, leaving four or five of their comrades dead upon the ground. The drivers of the caissons also partook of the panic, and dashed headlong through the ranks of Cox's division, which was drawn up in line of battle a few yards in the rear. Two companies of a cavalry regiment, which were supporting the battery, also gallopped through the line of infantry, thus leaving four pieces of artillery (the other two having been detached to another part of the field) to fall into the hands of the enemy. The event caused temporary and only temporary confusion amongst the troops. They quickly straightened the line, and prepared to resist a de: monstration observable on the part of the enemy to seize the abandoned pieces. The rebels marched forward to secure the anticipated prize, and at the HA YES ABOUT SKIBBEREEN. The Freeman's Journal says :—On the evening of the 13th of this month an eccentric strolling pedlar, named Teady Dawley, came before Mr. Potter, sub-inspector, Skibbereen, and reported that he met Mr. Hayes, and was talking to him, at Leimavadara-bridge. In consequence thereof, the police in the whole district about have been in active motion ever since. They are to be met everywhere, day and night, riding and walking, coloured and in uniform, yet none of them can meet Hayes, and after many a wearisome night's search they return to quarters, fagged and wearied as much by disappointment as anything else. When the information was given at first, messen gers were despatched by the active sub-inspector to all the coast-guard stations about the coast, in order that all fishing boats going out to sea may be watched, as it is feared the peasantry would be only too anxious to have an opportunity of assisting him out of the country. This appears evident from the various reports circulated about the fugitive, tend ing to mislead the police, making his location in 40 different places at the same time. Taking this in connection with the fact that Teady Dawley is hooted at as an informer, and riled on account of the loss of the blood money, may account generally for the length of time which Hayes remains with out being arrested. Your correspondent met Teady Dawley on Friday, and talking to him about the matter he came out thus:—'' On the 13th of this month I wax coming from Ballydehob, and just at the other side of Leimavadara-bridge a man gave a standing leap from behind the ditch out on the road to me. He asked me if I was going to Ballydehob. I said no. I said, You are not this county man ?' and he said he was not, but from the county Lime rick. He walked with me to this end of the bridge, and then he leaped up on the battlement and made towards Corrovuola ; he was over six feet, and a very active old man." " But, Teady, is it a fact, as they say, that it was to get the reward you gave the information to Mr. Potter ?" " I declare to it was not, and I w ou ld no t s p ea k o f it a t a ll, on ly that it was for hi re h e kill e d t h e man. " S o en d e d the dialogue with Teady. At Drimoleague fair, on Thursday, every group you met were talking of Hayes ; from him, to landlord and tenant, and all would conclude by condemning the act, as well as the system that would drive men to commit it. FATAL FIGHT BETWEEN TWO BOYS. On Monday night, a fight took place in Carlisle between two boys, which has unfortunately termi nated fatally with one combatant, and the other one is in custody awaiting the coroner's inquest. The name of the boy who has been killed is George Sinclair, about 17 years of age, and that of his oppo nent is James Callan, about 15 years of age. They , were seconded by boys of about the same age, Sin clair having been backed by Nichol Brown, and Callan by John Conkey. The origin of the quarrel appears to have been this—Callan met Sinclair near the Town Hall, where he was fighting with another boy, named William Tweddle, of Sowerby-street. Callan accused Sinclair of striking Tweddle when he was down. Sinclair denied this rather warmly, and it was proposed that they should fight each other. Sinclair suggested that they should adjourn the fight until Monday night; and it was again suggested that they should put it off until Satur day, when there would be more light. They at last determined to fight on Monday night, and appointed to meet each other at the Town Hall at 8 o'clock. Sinclair at 8 o'clo c k, an d C a ll an , i n compan y ü ßeeby, and some comp an i ons , did not hwc 0 draw nkey P went through one of the lanes and found him. They then went to the foot o f th e C atholic-lane, when Sinclair again declined to fight until Saturday. Callan agreed, and w as a b out to return home, w h en some others who were present persuaded Sinclair to fight then, and Callan was called back. They went further down the lane to about 10 yards from the water side, and commenced to fight. Blows were struck pretty freely on both sides, chiefly about the head and face, and both fell several times. There were about 50 persons present, and after the two had fought about an hour and a quarter, Sin clair complained of being sick. A number of boys then commenced shouting that Callan had won, and Sinclair went to the water side. Callan walked away for about a 100 yards, and then returned to shake hands with Sinclair, but some of them said he was sick, and he need not mind shaking hands. In one of the rounds Callan cross-buttocked Sin clair, and fell upon him, but in nearly all the other rounds they merely struggled and fell down. Sinclair was t a k en to the Dispensary, where he was examined by Mr. Jones, surgeon, but died soon after. Callan and the two seconds were taken into custody by the city police, and after remaining some time, Mr Bent allowed the seconds to go on bail, but kept Callan in custody.— Car lisle Journal. We may consider the plan of the sewing-schools one of the very best means of relief which has been carried out in any degree. More of them are wanted ; and there is an earnest cry for the extension of such as exist. To these sewing-rooms we must look for the possibility of carrying out Lord Palmerston's recommendation that the present dreary opportunity should be used for keep ing the children and lads at school. If the Guar dians were to agree to-morrow to pay the school pence of every boy and girl, a very large propor tion would be prevented from attending by the state of their clothing. The sewing-rooms might remedy this, if they were kept properly supplied with material. Stout dark flannel makes good blouses for boys—remnants of print and stuff and linseys make frocks and petticoats for girls. Remnants of almost any fabric will make bon nets, and also pinafores. The same dark flannel, in squares, bound with worsted binding, makes little shawls for children. While making those articles, and women's gowns and other garments, the factory girls are learning what has been hitherto deficient in their training—they become more fit for domestic life ; they are i of idleness ; free at once from the temptations and thoeannn d u their yeun e and they obtain clothing for themselves I t r uggle for admission t o in a safe place, told that it is a g sisters at the very cheapest rate. heart-moving spectacle to 800 girls are almost frantic to get i n. these rooms.
