ON TRUE and FALSE SPERATATORRHCEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PIUKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other squally flaoTant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcca and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

Just Published, price ls., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps, QECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS LI FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special perusal of all who are suffering from the various forms of NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress ing, ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO GALVANISM in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus ing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated from various enervating causes. Illustrated with Cases com piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi tioner of twenty years' standing. Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a condition little short of total prostration, then by the action of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE.

These consist of sheets of wrought iron, six feet by four, and pressed into the form of a trough. These are secured with the convex side uppermost, and over these on a bed of hard rubbish is placed the granite paving of the roadway. As we have said, already three arches are nearly completed, and the rest are advancing. That some of the latter may be fixed it has been found necessary to cut away several feet of the abutments of the old bridge, which projected too far to allow the iron ribs to be placed. This cutting away, however, is a work of considerable labour, inasmuch as the piers of the old bridge are built mostly of brick, faced with stone. The stones are got rid of easily enough, but the brickwork is as hard as adamant itself, and pick or crowbar makes little impression. The bricks are either got out broken to powder, or else cut away as quarrymen work stone in solid masses, as intact as granite boulders. Thus cutting down the abutments has not the least effect on the stability of the bridge, which has literally settled into such a condition that it can go no further. The piers have found a natural foundation for them selves, and not the least subsidence, has taken place for a long period. In fact, so carefully is the whole mass now shored up, that even if the foundations were much worse than they are, the bridge would still remain as it is. Not only have the defective arches been powerfully supported with timber, but between the foundations of the arches themselves and below low water-mark the divers have fixed beams of elm, so as to wedge each foundation be yond the chance of further decline. It would cer tainly relieve a good deal of anxiety on the part of the public if the same precautions were adopted with Blackfriars-bridge, which as far as regards instability and rapid settlement is, we believe, in even a worse condition than the long straggling obstacle which spans the river at Westminster. There is no doubt that while in its present condition Blackfriars-bridge may be easily and effectually repaired by taking down the two centre defective arches, but if this is not done, and any accident does occur, not only would the two centre arches fall but most of the others would very probably follow them. During the delay which has arisen in the delivery of the ironwork at Westminster, Mr. Page, the engineer, has been indefatigable in pushing for ward the other works, so that as little as possible may remain to be accomplished when the first half is opened, and the old bridge has to be taken down. With this view, wherever the openings of the arches admitted of it, he has carried the eastern halves of the new piers through, and all are now finished except piers Nos. 5,4, and 1. As an abutment of the old bridge stands right in the way of No. 5 pier, nothing whatever can be done towards completing its eastern half till the old structure is removed. No. 4, however, is nearly completed, and will be so entirely in about three months more. This pier passes right under the scaffo.ding which supports the centre and most defective arch of all, and the supports had to be refixed in such a manner as to truss up the arch, and yet not interfere with the works of the pier below water. The greatest care and skill were requisite to effect this ; but all the difficulties were at last overcome by Mr. Page, and the pier is now complete, and by its solidity adds strength to the foundations of the old work. Almost the same obstacles had to be overcome in forming the eastern half of No. 4 pier, but over these, too, Mr. Page has triumphed in a similar manner. By this progress the works connected with the eastern half of the bridge are not only considerably advanced, but an enormous outlay will be saved in removing the old arches by making the piers serve as supports on which to rest the scaffoldings which will be necessary for that pur pose. Certainly, as far as can be judged at present, there seems no reason why the whole structure should not be completed and the old one removed in 12 months from this date. The western half of the bridge will be ready for opening in September next, and the difficulties which will then remain to be overcome are as nothing compared with those which have already been surmounted.

REFORM CLUB IN YORK.—One consequence of the defeat of Mr. Layard at York has been the establishment of a Reform Club in that city, its principal object being to attend to the registration, Which has been much neglected of late years, RESULTS. Liberal ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. YORKSHIRE (WEST RIDING.) LEEDS, TUESDAW - AFTERNOON. The poll for the three eandidates—Sir J. NV, amsden and Mr. Frank Crossley, the two Liberals, and the Right Hon. James Stuart Wortley, the Conservative—commenced here, as well as at 36 other towns (each the centre or capital of a polling district) in the Riding, at 8 o'clock this morning. The Liberals seemed to be not only more energetic than their opponents, but also much more numerous, and the coaches, cabs, and other vehi c l es d as hi ng t o and from the Town-hall, the place appointed at which to take the votes, with yellow favours, appeared to be considerably in excess of those sporting blue, the Conservative colour. The Liberals headed the poll from the first, and when the aggre gate return up to 11 o'clock was published by Messrs. Ramsden and Crossley's central committee, which sat at Leeds, giving each of the Liberal candidates a clear majority of upwards of 1,500 above Mr. Wortley, most of the Liberals felt that the contest was virtually won. The Conservatives in Leeds had at that time received no returns from Mr. Wortley's central committee, which had its head-quarters at Wakefield ; and though they hoped that the poll was not correct as stated by their opponents, and that the returns from the more dis tant agricultural districts would turn the scale in Mr. Wortley's favour, yet they appeared low in spirits compared with the Liberals. The only aggregate returns published in Leeds as received from Mr. Wortley's central committee, at Wake field, up to the time when this report was despatched, were as follows : HALF-PAST ii O'CLOCK.

To many it will doubtless be a matter of interest to know how former contests for the West Riding terminated. The first contest since the Reform Bill occurred in 1835, when the present Earl of Carlisle (then Lord Morpeth) offered himself for re-election on his being appointed Chief Secretary for Ireland, when he was opposed by the late Lord Wharncliffe (then the Hon. John Stuart Wortley), the brother of the present Conservative candidate. The result of the contest was—Lord Morpeth (Liberal), 9,066 ; the Hon. J. S. Wortley (Conser vative), 6,259. At the general election in 1837111 r. Wortley again offered himself, but was again re jected. On that occasion the poll closed as follows : —Lord Morpeth (Liberal), 12,576 ; Sir G. Strick• land (Liberal), 11,892 ; the Hon. John S. Wortley, 11,489. At the general election in 1841 Mr. Wortley offered himself for a third time, and on that occasion he was elected, the numbers at the close of the poll being as follows :—The Hon. John Stuart Wortley (Conservative), 13,165 ; Edmund Denison (Conservative), 12,780 ; Lord Milton (Liberal), 12,080 ; Lord Morpeth, (Liberal), 12, 0 31. At this election there were 30,998 voters on the regis ter, and the number who voted was 25,273. In 1848, when a vacancy occurred on the accession of Lord Morpeth to the peerage on the death of his father (tho late Earl of Carlisle), a contest took place between Sir Culling Eardley on the Liberal side, and Mr. Edmund Denison on the Conservative side, and it terminated in favour of Mr. Denison by a majority of 14,743 to 11,795 votes. The number of electors then on the register was 35,280, and 26,638 of them voted. The number of voters on the register at the register at the present time is 36,645. At the great contest for the whole county of York in 1807, when two members were returned, and the poll was kept open for 15 days, the result was as follows :—Mr. Wilberforce (Tory), 11,806 ; Lord Milton (Whig), 11,177; the Hon. H. Lascelles (Tory), 10,989 ; Waiter Fawkes (Whig), 2. On that occasion 23,007 persons voted. NEW WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE. The rapidity with which New Westminster-bridge is being completed is a standing protest against the inactivity displayed with the clockworks of the great tower which overlooks it, and where , _ though 16 years and upwards of £ 20,000 h a ve been ex pended on the clock. and bells, the dials still make no sign. When we last noticed the progress of the bridge, only a few weeks ago, the whole range of iron arches was erected at Messrs. Cochrane's works at Battersea. Each arch was there built up almost as strongly as if intended for carrying traffic. The object gained by this erection was to ascertain in the best manner that each joint fitted, so that on being removed to the piers at Westminster nothing might remain to do but bolt them into their places as fast as delivered. While thustemporarily erected also, each separate girder of an arch and each arch when entire were tested both as to their stiffness and freedom from any excessive or unusual vibra tion. Since this was dono the arches have been unbolted and removed to their permanent site, where such progress has been made in getting them together that already three are almost entirely com pleted, and all the rest are rapidly advancing. The manner in which they are put together is simple and rapid in the extreme. On the stone abutments or piers are laid what are termed bed-plates, masses of cast-iron lattice work, which the granite is cut out to receive, and on to which the plates are firmly bolted. For the western half of the bridge seven plates are required on each pier, and to every plate a cast-iron girder rib of the arch is bolted. Each rib is made in seven pieces, those at each end, where the vertical strain is greatest, being of cast-iron, the centre piece or crown of the arch, which is exposed to constant percussion and vibration, being made of wrought-iron boiler plate, of sufficient strength to resist more than ten times the moving load which ordinary traffic is ever likely to put on it. When the bed-plate is fixed, the travelling crane lowers into it the first cast-iron joint of one of the ribs which are to carry the arch. Directly this reaches its place it is bolted with massive screw nuts to the plate, and by the time the screwing down is completed a similar part of another rib is ready for fixing by its side. In this manner the seven basement joints of the ribs or girders are soon fixed, when, to prevent any lateral movement, diagonal girders of cast-iron are bolted in crosswise between each rib, which are again further strengthened by straight cross girders of the most solid description between each arch, at intervals of 3 feet apart. When the basement of the iron arch, so to speak, is thus completed, the travellers bring the next length of joints, which are secured to those already fixed in a similar manner, and so on with the third length. In this way, as the work is commenced at once on two piers, by the time the third joint is affixed to the ironwork on each, the arch (which is almost ellip tical in form) into is nearly t w o piers nothing iron r ib s mains but t o l ower the wrought complete, and to connect the places between the cast-iron re their buckle plates"" o nes, and the span is made perfect. As fast as each arch is completed, what are termed, THE NAVY. Letters have been received at Plymouth, written from her Majesty's screw steamship Orion, 91, Capt. W. Houston, dated Genoa, May 3. They state that when at Gibraltar, on the 25th of April, orders were received at 4 o'clock in the afternoon for the ship's departure, and that at 9 the same evening she left. This sudden movement was caused by the declara ration of war between France and Austria. A large fleet of British merchant ships are at Genoa, and it is probable that for their protection the Orion will continue for some time in port. The screw corvette Cadmus, 21, belonging to the steam reserve at Chatham, is ordered to be commis sioned at that port, and to have a complement of 260 seamen and marines. The screw steamsloop wasp, 13, has arrived in harbour at Chatham, from the Nore, for the purpose of being taken into dock and refitted for sea. The Amphion, 36, steam-frigate, being fitted at Chatham, has a large number of shipwrights work ing on board her from 5 o'clock in the morning until 8 at night, in order that the utmost despatch may be used in getting this vessel ready for sea. At no former period has there been more activity perceptible in the shipbuilding department at Chat ham dockyard than at present. The shipwrights, sawyers, and other artisans are employed extra hours, in order to push forward the fitting of those screw steamers which are to be made ready for sea, and in completing the alterations in those sailing vessels in dock to adapt them for screw steamers. In order to meet the requirements of the service, nearly 300 additional artisans and labourers are to be entered, including 100 shipwrights, 50 of whom arrived at the dockyard yesterday from the ship building yards on the Clyde. The Melbourne, screw steam transport, will em bark the following officers and troops at Portsmouth for Corfu and Gibraltar, about the 12th and 13th inst. .For Corfu :-2d battalion 9th Foot-3 officers, 20 men, 1 officer's wife, 4 children, 2 soldiers' wives and 3 children ; Ist battalion 14t h Foot-4 officers, 40 men, 1 soldier's wife, 1 child ; 2d battalion 4th Foot-7 officers, 265 men, 3 officers' wives, 1 child, 2 servants, 11 soldiers' wives, 14 children ; Royal Artillery-3 officers, 117 men, 9 soldiers' wives, 16 children; Royal Engineers-3 officers, 119 men, 1 officer's wife, 1 child, 1 servant, 8 soldiers' wives, 10 children. For Gibraltar—Royal Engineers-1 officer and 14 men ; 2d battalion 7th Foot-31 men and 1 woman ; giving a total of 21 officers, 606 men, 5 officers' wives, 6 children, 3 servants, 32 sol diers' wives, and 44 children. The Etna, screw steam transport, Capt. Hockley, was yesterday inspected alongside Portsmouth dockyard, by Colonel Somerset, C. 8., M.P.,Assis tant-Quartermaster-General, and Staff urgeon Moore, the principal medical officer of the south western district. Captain Smythe, 40 men, 4 women, and 3 children of the 2d battalion 15th Regiment, from Pembroke, embarked on board the Etna yesterday. The remainder of the troops will embark this morning. The Mersey, 40, screw steam frigate, Captain H. Caldwell, C. 8., weighed anchor from Spithead yes terday at 4 p.m., and proceeded, under canvas, through the West Channel, for Portland. In accordance with orders received from the Ad miralty, a number of hands are engaged preparing the whole of the gunboats at Haslar for immediate launching, should their services be required for any sudden emergency. The Hannibal, 91, screw steamship, Capt. M. Conolly, at Portsmouth, has completed coaling from the Malabar depot, and again berthed alongside the Prince Regent to complete for sea. The Pioneer screw steam despatch vessel yester day received her masts under the sheers in the ship basin at Portsmouth Dockyard. The Flying Fish, screw steam despatch vessel, at Portsmouth, was yesterday taken out to Spithead from Portsmouth harbour to test her machinery, &c., by Commander Gardner, of the steam reserve, and Mr. Murdock, inspector of machinery afloat. Everything working. satisfactorily, she was at the conclusion of the trial turned ov er f rom the steam reserve to her future commander. The screw steamship Revenge,c ha rg e 91, in o f Mr. Biddlecombe, master attendant at Ke yham, left Milford at 6 o'clock on Sunday morning for Plymouth. The paddlewheel steam frigate Centaur, 6, chief engineer Thomas Duncanson in charge, was docked at Keyham on Monday afternoon. His Netherlands Majesty's frigate Wolvisch, Capt. F. Schut, from Bongowangde for Amsterdam, was off Plymouth on the 6th inst. All well. The steam storeship Industry 2, Master Com mander Hodg es , from the Cape of Good Hope, is ordered to leave Plymouth for Deptford. The screw steam sloop Brisk, Capt. d e Horse y , was towed d own H amoaze on Monday, and moored off the Devonport Dockyard, to be more convenient for drawing stores, and shipping men. The James Watt, 91, screw steamship, Capt.. E. Codd, arrived in Portland harbour on Monday even ing, from Plymouth. The Liffey, Termagant, Algiers, and Blenheim, are still at anchor in the roads. The measures adopted for manning the navy are THE ARMY. Yesterday morning an order was received at Chatham garrison, countermanding that previously given for the embarkation of the 28th company of Royal Engineers for Malta. The officers and men are not expected to leave head-quarters for some days. The 32d company of Royal Engineers is ordered to be completed to its proper strength of 120 non-commissioned officers and men previously to leaving Chatham for Alderney, for the purpose of being employed in erecting the fortifications for the defence of that island. THE CORNWALL RAILWAY ACCIDENT PLYMOUTH, TUESDAY. The inquest on the bodies of Henry Briscombe, engine driver; David Hannaford, stoker; and Wiliam Hoskin, guard, who were killed by the train running oft a viaduct on the Cornwall line, was held at St. Germans on Monday, before the coroner of the district, Mr. Jago. The foreman of the jury was Mr. W. H. P. Carew. The first witness examined was Richard Padden, the surviving guard, who stated that he had worked the line only once previons to the accident, and that was on the up journey. He left Plymouth on Fri day night by the 7.25 train for Truro, and at the ime of starting the train was four minutes behind When the train arrived at Saltash, two sta- ime. tions from Plymouth, three minutes had been re gained. The train was arranged as follows : First the engine, next a second class carriage, in which was William Hoskin, the head guard ; the third was a first class carriage, to which was at tached another second class carriage, in which wit ness was seated, and a luggage van was behind. As the train neared Grove viaduct, the scene of the ac cident, and when about 100 yards from the struc ture, he felt a peculiar jumping of the carriage, from which he suspected that some portion of the train had got off the line. He instantly applied the breaks with full force, and his carriage, together with the van, came to a standstill on the viaduct. He then looked out of the carriage and saw that the engine and two carriageshad gone over the viaduct. He got out and examined the carriages on the line, and found that he had applied the breaks with so much force that the coupling chains had broken, otherwise the entire train would have gone over. The first wheels of his carriage and the hind wheels of the van were off the line. He immediately pro ceeded down the slope to. the other carriages, and found that they were immersed in seven feet water. He waded and swam out to them, and got out several of the occupants: - In this duty he was assisted by a waterman named Spencer, who had run to the spot, and whose conduct was most praiseworthy. Spencer found the guard. Wit ness knew that there were two or three people injured, but not seriously. He considered the average speed at which the train had been going was about thirty miles an hour. A short distance before reaching the viaduct there is a very little incline of 1 in 80. He could not in any way account for the engine getting off the line, and he firmly believed the occurrence was purely acci dental. Could not tell whether the breaks were put on in the first carriage. James Bate, a builder, living at Liskeard, said he was in the first second class carriage which went over the viaduct, and as it reached the water there was a tremendous crash overhead, caused by the next carriage falling on the guard's compartment, thereby killing him, and after that all was still. He considered he was travelling at a smart rate, but he had travelled a great deal faster. Wm. James said he also was in the second class carriage which went over the viaduct. He was asked to give his idea of the speed at which the train was going, but no satisfactory- answer could be obtained, as this was the second time the witness had ever been in a railway carriage. Alfred Glubb, solicitor, Liskeard, and others, de posed to having felt an oscillation of the train on the up journey that morning, but they could not tell on what part of the line it occurred. Mr. Glubb, who is accustomed to travelling, said the rate of speed was not very fast. Henry Spencer, waterman, said he was one of the first on the spot, and helped to get out the guard Hoskin. He was in his compartment, which was under water. When he was taken out blood was seen on his face, but he had been in the water ten minutes, and was quite dead. Jonathan Steed, labourer, who helped to dig out the bodies of the guard and stoker, which were buried underneath the engine, described the posi tion in which they were found. The engincdriver lay on his back, thee upwards, with his arms out stretched, and the stoker was face downwards, with his head and hands close together. Wm. Stephens, inspector of permanent way, Mr. Cockshott, the traffic superintendent, Mr. Brereton, Mr. Brunei's chief engineer, were all called, but they could in no way account for the accident. Mr. Cock shott stated that all three men were remarkably steady. The jury then retired to consider their verdict, and after 20 minutes' absence they returned a ver dict of " Accidental death," adding that it was their opinion that the speed of trains coming down an incline should be diminished, especially where the line was new. Mr. Brereton said that, without any reference to the accident, the board had previously determined to lessen the speed on the line, although at the time it was only the same as that observed on the South Devon line. ALARMING COLLISION OF RAILWAY TRAINS IN A TUNNEL. (From the Leeds Mercury.) An accident of an alarming nature m o i c n c u u t r e r as ed afe Friday afternoon last, in the tunnel on the L d an ftees n dr. train, r whwhose shire and Yorkshire Railway, between Bradford and Low Moor. It appea a r nl s efe t tm h ß a pra t ty a af f te e rr w adi Manches ter,t he 3 it . 25 was passenge rfollowed t r b a y i n tination was Low Moor. On the latter train reaching the Low Moor tunnel, instead of being signalled to halt at the top until the first train had passed through, the engine driver was allowed to t g r o aiu ranon,andiuto the theconsequence was that theempty Manchester t ra i n at a spot about 300 yards from the o th er end of the tunnel, which is a mile in length. The Manchester train consisted of one first and two second class carriages, a van, and the engine and tender. One of the second class carriages was driven force that the of the f ron t of theagainst the engine with such buffers were as carriage smashed, and broken, a whi po le rt t io h n e bodies of the other carriages were all dashed from their frames. James Hoyle, the engine driver of the passenger train, was tllrown down, and the guard, Joseph Firth, who was seated in his box at the time of the collision, had his head forced quite through a window. Both men, however, escaped with only a few scratches. There were about 40 passengers in the train. Tbey were thrown violently against each other, and, as may be supposed, were in a state of great alarm, which was increased by the darkness of the tunnel and the uncertainty as to the cause and extent of the mischief. The engine was de tached from the carriage next to it by the breakage, but the driver im mediatel y sto pp ed it, and the engine of the emptytrain having been also stopped, the whole train was soon brought to a stand. None of the carriages had been thrown off the line, and by fastening the engine to a bar of the broken car riage the train was taken forward to Low Moor. Mr. Todd, the station master at Low Moor, and the engine driver of a Leeds train which was waiting there, had begun to suspect that an accident had taken place, in consequence of the Manchester train being about ten minutes behind its time, and the appearance of the train verified their suspicions. Mr. Todd and the servants of the company at the station assisted the passengers from the car riages, and found that they had all suffered more or less injury. With the exception of one gentlem an , however, they were all able to proceed on their journey, and after a delay of about 20 minutes went forward in another train, under the charge of the guard, driver, and stoker of the disabled one. 'The gen tl e man referred to is Mr. Maude, p Bradford. His upper lip was severely cut al , nte and his of his whole frame was seriously shaken, but none of his bones were broken.

Mr. Steele continues to attend him, and he has ease , be en visited by a medical gentleman employed ;by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company. Neither the engine driver nor the stoker of the empty train, which came into collision with the passenger train sustained any injury. The accident was entirely owing to a breabh of the rule laid down by the railway company, which requires that every train entering the tunnclshall have passed quite thrc nigh it before another is allowed to enter. A signalman is employed at each end of the tunnel to ensure the observance of this rule, and though they both maintain that they signalled properly in this in stance, yet one of them must certainly have neglected his duty, or the accident could not have happened. The two men are in the service of the Great Northern Company. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING. MONDAY'S RACES CONCLUDED.

A more numerous attendance on the Two Thousand day was never seen, and a more meagre list of sport for the oc casion was never published. The election, the scarcity of money, and the ill-luck which attended the bookmakers at Chester, all contributed to render the meeting a failure, at least so far as the sport was concerned. The racing, as the return will show, was meagre in the extreme. Those people who built their • hopes on Promised Land were not disappointed, for he won like a racehorse ; Alfred Day "easing" him as he entered the cords, and passing the post " hands down," with his opponents toiling after him in vain. The betting on the race fluctuated consider ably before the start. In the town 11 to 10 only was betted on Promised Land ; he, however revived, and 7to 4 was laid. After Nimrod's race 5 to 4 was taken, and just before the start the field was backed at evens against him. The local police, under the direction of Superintendent Benson, did good service. They restrained the spectators from obtruding on the course by civility and not by rough ness. The " ropes" were arranged, too, in such a manner that a clear view of the course could be obtained by all persons. The weather was propitious, and the town was somewhat gay. On Monday night an unusual incident relieved the mo notony of a meeting-week at Newmarket. The public hall was opened by Mr. and Mrs. Howard Paul, who gave their popular entertainment Patchwork, and succeeded in doing that which no person ever before accomplished in this thorough business town at race time—they drew together a large and attentive audience.

The race admits of little description. Promised Land soon held his opponents safe, was followed home by Cynri cus, Phantom, Sir Hercules, and Crafton to the Bushes Hill, on descending which the race was over, for Phantom and Sir Hercules dropped away beaten, and The Promised Land won literally "as he liked" by a length and a half, the second beating the third by three lengths, four lengths separating the third from the fourth ; Nimrod was fifth ; Napoleon and Marske were next, close together ; Phantom was several lengths behind them, and Lord of the Manor was last, beaten off. ............. . 1 3 H an dicap Sweepstakes of 30 sous each, 20 ft (S econ d C lass) for 3-yr-olds.

As th e c l u b i s not, strictly speaking a great rowing club, the racing was not of first-rate charac ter, but was, however, very good, The following were the competitors : Pink—Messrs Read and Stretton. Blue—Messrs. Woodcock and Critchett. Yellow—Messrs. Spink and Browne. Yellow took a good lead, followed by Blue. Pink soon fouled a barge, and were left all astern. Yellow held the lead for half a mile, when Blue passed them, and seemed to be winning with ease, but a short distance from home Yellow rowed up well level with Blue for a few strokes, and then went in winners by two or three lengths. THE HOMEWARD AUSTRALIAN MAIL.--LIVER row., TUESDAY.—Some anxiety is beginning to be felt re specting th enon-arrival at Suez of the Peninsulal. and Ori ental Company's Australian mail steamer Emeu, as that ship has always performed her voyages with great regula rity, and in most cases within contract time. It is po s sibl e that some delay may have arisen from the incompi t ir t s io ' i n " s : of the coaling arrangements at the interm e e i l v iate stations, consequent from the consequent upon the transfer of the mail serv ice hands of the Royal Mail Company to those Penin sular and Oriental Company It a the - h been said that some ecur, apprehension of some such George's Sound, especially at RIDS of the passengers by the last dmeiaailAtzagerlikexeplreyssedotheir
