Th e b es t ev id ence that this estimate , is not excessive is to be found in the fact that the Charle, _Louis Railway (from Cracow to Lemberg, a length of 21fi, miles, of w hi c h th e P r i nce Le o Sapieha, a In,eraber of th C.nairrnan e Local Boa r d o f thi s un d erta ki ng, is the ) a more expensive line, passing through a less Productive country—has already earned 111 per cent. per ni, al' though that railway has been very recently opened.

The Sultana so far had the best of it, as her larger opponent bad to allow her 61-m. The match was watched with great interest -at this time, to see if the Sultana would Again beather opponent in tack ing, but in a short time it was evident that some thing was wrong on board the Albertine, and a boat was seen to be lowered from her. As only two men could be seen to put off in her, and as three were soon afterwards seen to board the yacht from her, there was little doubt but that a man had some how fallen overboard. The Albertine having thus lost so much time, her racing flag was hauled down, and she returned to Cowes, when it was stated that the clew of the foresail had given way, and that in repairing damages the man fell into the sea. The Sultana continued the course, and on completing the first round a gun from the Lotus, from which vessel they were started, proclaimed her the winner of the stakes, amounting, as it was understood, to £5O, but under the circumstances it is doubtful if her gallant owner will claim the substantial reward of victory.

The principal actor is Harvey Teesdale, come dian, and the intended victim is his wife. The rarties reside in Blind-lane, and for some time past appear to have been living unhappily together, mutual recriminations respecting each other's con jugal fidelity being of frequent occurrence. The neighbours say that both were faulty, and :that each contributed their quota to the cause of dnmestie; bickerings and strife. A little before four o'clock on Monday afternoon lust Teesdale went to his house, in company with a man. 0o arriving on the steps of the house, it is slid, he turned suddenly . round and struck his companion a blow in the face with his fist, which sent him rolling into the street. He then rushed into the house, fastened the door on the inside, end directly afterwards the report of a Pistol was heard. This alarmed the neighbours and pnesere-by, and a rash was evade by several P"rsons towards the door and the window. , of twee dwelling, which resisted their 4, fforts to force for a few tnornents. Haypily they seen gave way, and the house was entered. The wife was dis covered with her face covered with blood, and Teesdale with his head lvtn,g back on the sofa, in the act of drawin g a razor across his own throat. He was immediately seized, and prevented from carrying out his suicidal design. The police were quickly on the spot, and as the prisoner had only inflicted a slight gash on the throat, he was at once conveyed to the Town-hall in a cab. The uriL fortunate woman's face was sadly disfigured, espe cially on the right side, but the pistol could only have contained powder, or she must have been killed instantaneously. She was removed to the 1 Sheffield Infirmary, where she now lies, and we believe there is every hope of her ultimate reco very. It is said that the prisoner stated that only on Monday morning he had gone down on his knees ' to his wife, and begged her to give up her present course of life, and leave the neighbourhood in which she was living, and that she replied that all she wanted was to be away from him. This he assigns is the cense of the act with which he now stands charged. He also said that he had been obliged to give up four theatrical engagements lately through her conduct, and that she was train ing up his two girls to be as bad as herself. The act was evidently a premeditated one if the above statement be correct.—Sheffield Independent. THE MYSTERIOUS PORTRAIT.- LORD PALMERSTON Al; TER TILE SESSION. At the quarterly meeting of the Dover Town Council yesterday (Aug. 6), a laughable conversa tion occurred with reference to the portrait of Lord Palmerston, which it appears has come to hand in a most mysterious and unfathomable a manner ; nor were all the efforts of the members present sufficient to induce the Mayor (who alone possessed the key of the secret) to unravel it. The minute upon the "agenda paper" was, that " tbe council order an address to the Lord Warden on the presentation to him of his portrait by the town." An inquiry was generally made as to where and how the portrait in question has been obtained. The Alayor assured the council that the town had been put to no expense whatever in the matter, and with this assurance they must, for the present, rest perfectly satisfied, and not press him for any further explanation. About the 10th or 11th of this month he understood the House would be prorogued, and a few days afterwards Lord Palmerston would be at his Castle of 'cvalmer, during which time an oppor tunity would doubtless arise to carry out the pre sentation. Mr. Worsfold—The subject is quite new to me. Mr. Poulter—And to me. [Other expressions of wonder were also heard at different parts of the hall.] Mr. Ottaway—The portrait is new, but the sub ject of it is not quite new. Mr. Robinson—lt's a very old one. Alderman Latham—We have not had a motion of council that a portrait shall be presented to his lordship,. The Mayor—lt is not necessary. Alderman Latham—But the portrait never ap pears to have been voted. Mr. Robinson—You don't understand; it's a por trait given to the council for the purpose of being presented to his lordship. Mr. Worst . ° id—Then the person who orders the council to present the portrait had better order the address. The Town Clerk explained that the town gave the portrait to be hung up in the Town-hall. Mr. Smith—ls there any objection to name the artist it, is by P The Mayor—Yes, a great deal. Mr. Smith—There seems to be a deal of mystery about it. .....„....... The Mayor—Be satisfied that it is a very excel lent portrait by a first-rate artist. His lordship has been executed by a man who wears the gold medals of the R.S. Mr. Ottaway—l su ppose all this m ystery will be cleared up at a future time. Mr. Poulte r —l don't understand it at all; this portrait is to be given by the town to the Lord Warden, and no one in the town knows anything at all about it, and then the Lord Warden is to give it to the tow n , th a t it may be hung up in the Town hall. Mr. Smith—lt's a most discreditable thing. Captain Noble—We had better ask permission to hang his lordship in the Town-hall. Mr. Robinson—Would it not be a little more o ore i congenial to his lordship's feelings, instead hanging up, we should say "placed F" Alderman Latham—Here is a portrait from an unknown hand. We don't present it; and I would move that thanks be presented to his lord ship for having sat to Mrs. Harris, the artist. Captain Noble—That is not the artist's name —he's a man with gold medals. Alderman Latham —The Mayor said Mrs. Harris (R.S.). If it is not her, it is some person equally difficult to get at. The Mayor, in order to simplify the matter, begged to suggesthtohuagt h s t o it me w o o n u e l dm boveeathpartouspdateheibneg f f o o r uA t nj h rd e . their children c tF h h i je l n d hn r ia e si n l i hereafter to see an excellent por trait of so exalted a man, and urging full confidence in the Mayor, moved that an address be pre sen t e d.

The attendance, as usual on a cup day, 'showed a large increase upon that of Tuesday, and the racing was of an improved character. A shower fell in the morning ; but the sky cleared, and rendered the sport agreeable, not to vi sitors only, but also to the regular frequenters of a race course, to whom opportun►ties were offered between the running of two plates for betting upon future events. The Doncaster St. Leger was then touched upon;and some few changes occurring since our last quotations were notice able. Before going to the course Caractacus obtained the call of The Marquis in the ring formed at the Ship Hotel, where the ball-room was gratuitously thrown open to mem bers of the Subscription-room at Tattersall's. The features of the day were, the clever way in whioh Gunner won the Biennial Stakes, the disposition evinced to back him for the Derby, and the running away of a mare named Mary Stuart, while her antagonists waited at the starting-post for the Grand Stand Plate. Much time was lost by this and other contrarieties, and the Cup race, fixed for five o'clock, did not take place till after six, when it produced a magni ficent trial of skill between two of the finest jockeys of the day.

Grimshaw could step him. At length the patienc e o f t h e spectators were rewarded by the signal flag being lowered, when the lot left the post in close company. After settling into their places, Twilight took up the running, having Acco, Drumstick, Knight of the Bath, David Ann, and Fractious in close attendance, th e others lying in a clus ter at their heels. On the ir fairly entering the straight, Knight of the Bath rushed to the front and came on with a clear lead, having Twilight and A cco on his whip hand, with David Ann, the Frenchman, and Drumstick next on the lower side, nothing else having a chance. On reaching the distance, David Ann , in eunapany with Fractious, dropped away beaten, Twilight a t the same time joined Lord Westmoreland's col t, the p ai r running together to the stand, where the old one got his head in front, and won a t h re e parts of a length; fine race home by Acco finished a bad third, Odine fourth , Drumstick fifth, Quicksilver sixth, and Devil Ann next, the others wer e p u lli ng up as t h ey passed the post, the last being Marcell us . O n return i ng to scale an objection was ma de by J.

The melancholy event which plunged a nation into mourning last December has had a most preju dicial effect on the fortunes of the annual aquatic festival here, and has prevented the admirers of the noble sport of yachting from witnessing or partak ing in the contests which have hitherto taken place at Cowes among the vessels of the Royal Yacht Squadron. All aquatic readers know that for many years it has been customary for her Majesty and the late Prince Consort to give cups of the value of XlOO each, to be sailed for by vessels belonging to mem bers of tile squadron, and although the death of his royal highness naturally prevented one of these gifts from being conferred as usual, it was presumed that her Majesty's cup would be given, and on this supposition an official announcement was made some time since that the match would take place, which announcement has been often repeated ; and indeed, the official advertisement of the squadron appeared in Bell's Life in London on Sunday last, so that no one imagined any alterations in the arrangements would be made ; but it appears that the committee of the squadron and the yachting world were doomed to be disappointed, for at the last moment, after nume rous vessels had arrived here to take part in the con- test and hopes had been excited that one of the finest matches that had been seen for many years would ake place, the bills issued and circulated through the town were withdrawn on Friday, and it was announced that there had been a misapprehension, and that her Majesty did not intend to give a cup his year, nor to give the usual donation towards the funds of the town regatta. When it is remem bered that the Queen and her late Consort have hitherto taken a warm interest in the matches for the cups given by herself and his royal highness, and have generally been present at the lively sports carried on at the town regatta, it can hardly be a matter of surprise that her Majesty should have been unwilling to sanction any immediate revival of scenes which would have recalled so forcibly the calamity which has befallen the royal house and the country ; but this does not seem to justify the course pursued by the committee of the squadron in giving publicity, without decided warranty, to an announcement which has had the effect of drawing hither so many persons, and of causing so much disappointment and vexation. In anticipation that the Queen's cup would be sailed for as usual, that the squadron would also give an open prize, and that the year would prove one of more than ordinary interest to the yachting world, there have been more vessels fitted out this season than for a long time past. It is true it was announced that the Queen's cup would be the only match of the regatta, and that the customary ball, dinner, and fireworks would not take place, but it was logically presumed that if her Majesty's cup would be sailed for (and of course after the official announcement was so pertinaciously repeated the public had no doubt this event would take place) the squadron would think it no mark of disrespect to the memory of his royal highness if they gave their annual prize, and thus the disappointment has been all the more severely felt. As a proof that the general body of the members of the squadron anticipated that the contest for the cup would take place, it may be mentioned that two schooners were entered, and additional interest was felt in the match as the conditions were al tered this year, for whereas the contending yachts have been hitherto required to be of above 200 tons burden, this year it was stated that vessels must be under that amount of tonnage. This alteration gave great satisfaction generally, as the redoubt able Alarm was thereby excluded from the contest, and other and smaller vessels having a chance of carrying off the prize, there is no doubt that before the list of entrieb had closed six or eight yachts would have been nominated to compete. At a meeting of the squadron last week it was announced that the respected vice -commodore, Mr, C. R. M. Talbot had resigned, and that another gentleman would be elected as his successor at the next meeting. The Marquis of Conyngham is a candidate for the vacancy. The town of Cowes is almost as full as usual of distinguished visitors, and the roads present the customary magnificent spectacle of a fleet of splen did specimens of naval architecture, of the largest tonnage known to any yacht club in the world. The sister yacht club, the Royal Victoria of Ryde, hearing that there was a disinclination on the part of the members of the squadron to cele brate the aquatic festival in the customary manner, held a meeting last week, at which the matter was discussed. The majority of the members felt inclined to hold a regatta as usual, but the com modore, Mr. G. H. Ackers, and the vice-coma:net dore, Mr. T. Chamberlayne, were of a da l e a r tter opinion ; and the result is that both officials have resigned.

By a Prison Matron.) The first inexorable rule to which the new pri soner has to submit, and which is a trial that is always one of the hardest to bear, is that of having the hair cut out. With the woman new to the rules, a comer who has not sat in that room before, with the scissors of Atropos snipping round her head, it is seldom performed without a remon strance. Women whose hearts have not quailed perhaps, at the murder of their infants, or the poi soning of their husbands, clasp their hands in horror at this sacrifice of their natural adornment; weep, beg, pray, occasionally assume a defiant atti tude and resist to the last, and are finally overcome by force. It is one of the most painful tasks of the prison, this hair-cutting operation —moreover it is, in my opinion at least, a test of character. One woman will be resigned to her fate in the instant, and with a Socratic stoicism will compress her lips and submit herself to the shears, and march away to her bath in a business-like manner_ A second will have a shivering fit over it, a third will weep passionately, and a fourth will pray to be spared the indignity; and implore the matron on her knees to go to the lady-superintendent and state her case for her. Some women are impressed with the idea that coaxing will go a long way to wards softening the matron's heart, or at least ob tain a variation in the rules, and a less length of hair from their heads ; and consequently bestow many "My dears," and " God bless you's" on the operator. The greatest trouble in my experience of prison life was with an old woman of 60 years of age, and with about the same number of grey hairs to her head_ She was an old prison-bird— had spent two-thirds of her life in prison, and was as vain of her personal appearance as any girl of seventeen. " No, Miss B." she said to the operator after catching sight of the scissors, and drawing herself up with the haughtiness of a duchess—" not this time, if you please, Miss B. It can't be done." But Miss B. replied it could be done, and was ab solutely necessary to be done before the prisoner left the room. " Things have altered a little, Miss 8., since I saw you last, I can assure you. You've no power to touch a hair of my head, mum." " How's that ?" "If you please, mum, I'm mar ried," and the old woman regarded the matron with undisguised triumph. " And what's that to do with it ?—sit down—you really must sit down." " What's that to do with it ?" shrieked the old woman, indignantly; " Why, it's my husband's hair now, and you daren't touch it, according to law. It belongs to my husband, not to me, and you've no right to touch it. Lord bless you, the Queen of England daren't lay a finger on it now." And the old woman's staunch faith in the law of her country to protect her grey hairs, would in any other place, under any other circumstance, have been supremely ludicrous. Argument with her was useless—she did not see that anything more was required after an expression of her opinion—she would not object to the bath, because the law had nothing to say in the matter of baths to married women, but her hair couldn't be touched by any mortal power. When there were signs of being uninfluenced by her eloquent exposition, she de manded to see the governor—he knew the law of England, of course—and when her hair was cut to the statutable length, she vowed to make a full statement of the ease to the directors, on the next board meeting, and please put her name down to see those directors at once. Such an infamous violation of the laws of her country she had never been a witness to in her time. And strange as it may appear, the plea of mar riage has latterly been very often urged by prisoners, under the same circumstance. " It's their husband's hair" has now become a constant reason why the rules of the prison should be waived in their particular cases_ And when it is not urged as a plea, women,whom a repetition of crime has brought back to the old quarters, gener ally offer, as their first piece of information , they have been married since their incarcera tion. 1" tion.
