~.~,_ VIE I'STIN, LONDON, rnuRSDAY EVENING, JUNE 12, 1802. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—June 11. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) LAWRENCE V. LAWRENCE. This case (which was heard on the 16th ult., and reported fully at the time) was the petition of a wife for a dissolution on the ground of adultery and desertion. The husband, :an officer in the commis sariat, went out to China, where he was broken by a court - martial for defalcations from the commissa riat chest. Since then he had written many letters to his wife full of hypocritical professions of repen tance and promises of amendment, all concluding, however, with urgent appeals for pecuniary assist ance. Mrs. Lawrence and her mother had sent him several large sums, but he had wasted 'them all in gambling and extravagance, and it was found that since his return to England he had lived with a young woman named Eliza Brown, whom he picked up at the Crystal Palace, and for a mar riage with whom he had actually taken out a license. He had not, however, actually committed the bigamy. Sir C. Creswell, having recapitulated the facts of the case, held that they proved wilful desertion for two years and upwards. There must, therefore, be a decree nisi with cost s; th e pet i t i oner to have the custody of her child. THE ROWLEY CASE. Dr. Spinks applied for an attachment against the respondent, the Hon. Hugh Rowley, against whom an order for the payment to Mrs. Rowley of £361 had been made. That order had not been obeyed. The Court directed the attachment to issue as prayed. BURROUGHS V. BURROUGHS.- BURROUGHS V. BURROUGHS AND SILCOCK.--EANTENCE. In the former of these remarkable suits, Mrs. Burroughs, the wife of an attorney residing at Stal ham, in Norfolk, petitioned for a restitution of conjugal rights. H er h us b an d rep li e d b y c hargi▪ ng her with adultery with Mr. Silcock, spirit mer chant in the same village. The evidence in Sup port of this pl ea was th a t o f t h e R ev . Mr. Whi▪ te, thy,rector of the parish, who stated that having 'occasion to go to the h ous e he entered w ithou t knocking, and surp r i se d th e alleged paramours in the fact. Another witness stated that he had also been an eyewitness of adultery between the parti es . To rebut these statements Mr. Silcock himself was examined, and he fl a tly denied the whole transac tion, and that at the time spoken to by Mr. Whit e he was on a journey as commer cial travelle r f or hi s firm. The court reserved its judgment. The second case, which was tried b e f ore a j ury, was a suit for dissolution of marriage on the ground of the same state of facts. The respondents, besides denying the adultery, pleaded three recriminatory charges of . adultery against the petitioner. At this trial Mr. Silcock, being a party, c ou ld no t b e ex amined, but he call e d several witnesses to establish an and Mr. White varied the time which he had given on the :f ormer t r i a l f or t h e scene t o which he deposed, The evidence against Mr. Bur roughs was extremely unsa ti s f ac t or y, and the jury negatived the charges both against the petitioner and the respondents. In this latter case, Sir C. Cresswell gave judgment upon a question that the petitioner should be ordered to pay his wife's costs beyond the SUM he had already paid Lao court. His lordship directed that Mrs. Bur roughs should have all the costs she had incurred in her own defence, but that Mr. Burroughs should only pay a moiety of the cosst incurred in bring. i ing the counter charges, t being manifest that the defence had been a joint one. In the former suit Sir C. Cresswell now gave judgment. He was sorry to differ in opinion from that jury ; but he was bound to deliver judgment upon the evidence given before him. Believing that Mrs. Burroughs had committed adultery, he could not order Mr. Burroughs to take her back. The petition must therefore be dismissed. Sir F. Slade observed that his client had prayed for a judicial separation. Sir C. Cresswell—You cannot possibly have it. You have not treated it as a suit for a separation on account of adultery, for you put Mr. Burroughs into the box. Sir F. Slade and Dr. Spinks contended that the case was not one in which the evidence of the hus band had been excepted by the Act of Parliament. This was not a suit originating in adultery. The Court, nevertheless, felt bound to refuse the separation. He had stated at the trial that if he allowed the evidence of the husband to be given, he should not treat him as actor in the suit for judicial separation. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—June 11. (Before Mr. Bodkin, Assistant-Judge.) John Lamont, 24, and John Edwards aliasßyan, 24, were indicted for unlawfully attempting to steal a gold watch and guard chai n , va l ue Z2l, the pro perty of Thomas Senior, from his person. Edwards was further indicted for unlawfully assaulting Al fred Stears, a constable of the Metropolitan police force, in the execution of his duty. Mr. Taylor was counsel for the prosecution ; Mr. J. E, Palmer defended Lamont; and Mr. Giffard appeared for Edwards. "The prosecutor, Mr. Senior, Was the landlord of the King's Arms public-house, in Long-Acre, and he deposed that on the morning of the 23d of May, at three o'clock, he w en t over to a public-house op posite, the Blue Boar's Head, and was drinking brandy and soda water in front of the bar with some friends. The prisoner Lamont got in front of him and began talking, and directly he felt his watch drawn from his pocket. He saw the watch guard in his hand, and immediately charged him with attempting to steal it, and gave him in charge. — Alfred Stears, 88 F, said he took the prisoner ramont into custody by direction of Mr. Senior, and immediately he laid hold of him Edwards struck him, and with several other men forced him out of the house and rescued Lamont from his cus tody. 36 F came up and took Edwards. Witness pursued Lamont and captured him. Edwards struck the officer 36 F a violent blow on the chest and tried to get away, but was soon mastered and taken to the station. The jury found both prisoners guilty. Holmes, of the F division, said he knew Edwards, who had gone by the name of Doggy Ryan. He had been convicted and sentenced to six and also to ten years' penal servitude. Lockyer, the prison officer, said he knew Edwards to be a thief-trainer, and that he was now on ticket of leave. Fonlsham, the sessions officer of the House of Correction, Westminster, proved eight convictions against Lamont; on the first, in 1850, he was sen tenced to three days, and on the last, in 1860, he 11748 sentenced to six years' penal servitude. t ee attempt, sentenced Lamont t o t wo y ear s f or and Edwards to tw o y ears f or th e at tenet; to ns one year for the assault, the latter sen- Had they r mence at the expiratio n o f th e fi rs t. watch, a n d !

He was we l l known about Loughborough. The prisoner said, sullenly, he was guilty enough of this, and he owned not that only, but that he had been convicted, and had been a bad character. But notwithstanding his endeavours to live honestly he ccmld get no work ; he had travelled all over the country in search of it without success. In Lough borough they wanted to hunt him down, and the police would let him have no rest, in fact they would send him to ---- if they could. The Assistant -Judge asked him if he could name any place where he had applied for work. The prisoner mentioned several, amongst them one at Birmingham, where his name would appear in the book of entries for work as George Lee; but they found out he had been convicted, and he was not put on. The Assistant-Judge said if the prisoner liked he would have inquiries made as to the truth of this, or he might prefer to receive his sentence now. He must abide the result of any investigation which might be made. The prisone r sa id h e wou ld pre f er the inquiry, and wishing the police at a certain place, he was removed. Juagment next session. ls.l3rtha Nichols, 3° and servant, and Sarah Kain, needlewoman, were 3ieted for stealing six silver spoons, two milk j ugs other articles, value £4, the property of iroutague, the mistress of Martha Nichols. The prosecutrix was a lady residing York street, Marylebone, and it aPPearedhe Pat 16, York went to a pawnbroker's to put some pl ate twice.

The pawn_ the in prisoners sr broker's shop to whfeh they went was Mr. Wil liams's, at Notting-hill, and through the assistant the property was restored. The prisoners were found guilty, and The learned Judge sentenced Nichols to 12, and Rain to eight months' bard labour. Hannah King, 23, was indicted for stealing a coat and a hat brush, tte property of James Howard, and two umbrellas, value 258, the props ty of William Squire. The prisoner it appeared had carried on a very artful and somewhat extensive scheme of plunder in this way. She went to gentlemen's houses and said she had been sent for respecting a situation. Throw ing the servant off her guard by asking her to take a message upstairs, she took the opportunity of pack ing under her shawl anything portable she could lay hands upon. She would then say there was some mistake about it and go away. The Jury found her guilty. The police constable in the case said there were many others, and she had been identified at the sta tion by five persons, besides which the police had received a good deal of information about her. The learned Judge said she was evidently a dan gerous character. This Was not an isolated case of an offence committed through want or anything of that sort—it was a regular and methodical plan of robbery. The sentence upon her was 18 months hard labour. The learned Judge, addressing the jury, said he had pleasure in informing them that the magistrates had rescinded the regulation by which some restric tion had been put in the way of prisoners in the House of Detention being supplied with pens, ink, and paper. They would remember that on Tuesday a complaint had been made by a prisoner upon the matter, and as the rule had been altered, he was sure that they (the jury who tried the case) would be glad to hear of it, as he was himself. A Juryman said they were. The bail cases will be taken on Friday. ICE INTELLIGENCE.—June 11. IP. MA NSION - ROUSE.—William Samuel Speller, a harness -maker and knackerman, carrying on busi ness at Woodford, appeared before the Lord Mayor, in answer to a summons taken out by the Commis sioners of Sewers, charging him with having sent to a public market in the city of London unwhole some meat for use for human food. Mr. Stuchbury, from the offica of the City Solici tors, appeared to prosecute on the part of the Co m naissioners of Sewers. The defendant had no soli citor. Mr. Staehbury said the case was a very bad one, and he should be able to prove beyond doubt that the defendant dressed the meat for market, and at the same time knew it to be unwholesome. William Wylde, one of the inspectors of meat and slaughter-houses, under the Commissioners of Sewers, said that on April 16 he was in White chapel-market, at about seven o'clock in the morn ing, when he saw four quarters of beef taken from a cart and hung up in the front of the shop of Mr. Scales, a butcher, in the market. He inspected the meat, and found it to be a carcass of a cow that had died from disease. He tested the flesh, and it smelt very strong of physic. The meat was very red, and ' the fat of the kidney was green, from having lain some time bef ore i t was dressed. The meat was dressed in the usual way for market, and was, in his opinion, totally unfit for human food. He saw the defendant:standing in Mr. Scales's shop at the time. Be showed the meat to two other inspectors, and it was afterwards condemned by his lordship. William Newman and William Davidson, also inspectors of meat, under the Sewers Commission, likewise stated that they examined the meat, and were both of opinion that it was totally unfit for human food. John Gosh, gardener to Lady Morrison, at Snares brook, stated that her ladyship had a cow which had calved on the Saturday preceding the 14th of April, on which day it was taken very ill, and a veterinary surgeon was sent for, who gave her some physic. The cow lingered until the next day, when it died, and the defendant, who was in the habit of taking away the animals that died under such cir cumstances, was sent for to take her away, and he went for it in the evening, but did not say that he was going to the London market. He should say that the meat from the animal was unfit for human food. The cow was ill two days, and had three doses of physic given to her. Thomas Eastern, a veterinary surgeon at Wood ford, stated that he was called on April 14 to see a cow of Lady Morrison's. The animal was suffering from parturitive apoplexy, and he gave her some medicine; but she died the next day. He had known the defendant as a knackerman and harness maker for some years. He was the only man round about who could be got to take away any animals that died. The witness, on being asked whether he thought the meat of the cow was fit for human food, with some hesitation, said he was of opinion that it was not. His lordship noticed this, and put some questions to the witness, in answer to which he said that, if the animal had been killed at first, he thought the flesh would have been wholesome, because it had mcrely died from a kind of congestion of the blood on the brain, and he thought that if an animal suf fering from that were killed before the blood had time to disperse over the body, the flesh would not be affected, and therefore the meat, he thought, would be fit for food ; but as the animal had died the blood had remained in the body and the flesh was unwholesome. Dr. Letheby, the medical !After for the City, said he saw the meat in question, and was of opi nion that it had died from an inflammatory and congested state of the body, and an ani mal under such circumstances would be in a state which would render the meat wholly unfit for human food, and in his opinionwhether the animal had been killed or not the flesh would have been equally unwholesome. Even the milk of an animal under such circumstances would be highly dan gerous to human life. Joseph Davidscn, servant to the defendant, said that he went with him to Lady Morrison's on Tuesday, the 15th April, and took away the cow in a knacker's cart. The defendant took it to a slaughter-house in Waithamstow, where he skinned it, and dressed it in the usual way for market. He left it there all night, and at five o'clock on the morning of the 16th April he went with the defen dant, who took the carcass of the cow from the slaughter-house, and brought it to London to the shop of Mr. Scales, where it was seized by the inspector. The defendant said he did not know that it was unwholesome. He took it to Mr. Scales to do as hethought fit with, and left it entirely to him. The Lord Mayor said it was his duty to commit the prisoner for trial, but he was Milling to accept bail. The defendant was accordingly admitted to bail, himself in £4O, and two sureties in £2O each. BOW-STREET.—GAROTTE ROBBERY.—Mark Barnett and Henry Sweetlove were brought before Mr. Henry, on remand, charged with assaulting and robbing Mr. J. Wilson, in Seven-dials; and a third prisoner, James Hoare (a lad of about 16), was now placed at the bar on the same charge, having been apprehended since the last examination. It will be remembered that Mr. Wilson, a licensed victualler in Drury-lane, was walking through Seven dials towards Tottenham-court road, at seven or eight in the evening, when he was suddenly pounced upon by a mob of persons, tripped up, and thrown heavily to the ground, Although 1 it was broad daylight, no one but an old woman came to his assistance, and she was unable to pre vent one of the assailants escaping with a pair of gold spectacles which were taken from his waist coat pocket, and which had been attached to a chain for safety. Mr. Henry—lt would seem almost incredible that i n such a crowded district, and i n the full Earl-str ee 'light of d a prevent ati y il no one thought proper to interfere to m ary v e a robbery. saulted t eetaeles to °t he a widow woman, living in Great a lposed that she saw the prosecutor as. to let the .amniaked down, and told the prisoners "Digit,,ltuir alone.

Wm. Ackrill, the police-constable, described the apprehension of the prisoners from the description given by the female witness, They were associ a t es of thieves. Committed for trial. WESTMINSTER.—DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT MURDER IN THE MILLBANK PRISON.- - John Smith, a tall, powerful fellow, of forbidden appearance, was brought from the Millbank Penitentiary, upon a writ of habeas corpus, and placed before Mr. Arnold, charged with feloniously assaulting and wounding James Ivers, an officer in the gaol, with intent to murder him, to which was further added the charge of assaulting and wounding John Min chin, another officer. Prisoner, who is 27 years of age, was at the time of the commission of the offence under sentence of seven years' transportation for housebreaking and larceny at Guernsey. He was handcuffed while in the dock undergoing examination. Mr. Pollard, from the Treasury, conducted the prosecution. 3ames Ivers, assistant-warder at the Millbank Prison, said—Prisoner is a convict confined in the prison. On the 16th of May last, at eight in the evening, I was on duty within the walls, and was in the act of going into the prisoner's cell, when I received a blow from the prisoner, who was leaving it, on the left temple. It was a left-handed blow from some sharp instrument, and it seemed to ren der me insensible for a few seconds; the blood gushed out from a wound that I had received on the temple. That was succeeded by a blow from the prisoner's clenched fist, which I received on my forehead. The prisoner closed with me and we fell ; I was underneath ; and in the struggle I received several blows on the neck ; they Were cutting blows with some instrument. I could not see what the instrument was; it was a sharp instrument. I par tially regained my consciousness and was about recovering, but fell again with prisoner on me, and he bit me on my right cheek and oil the fingers of my right hand. After that I received from the pri soner a cut over my right eye ; the cut was three inches and a half long. He then struck me several other blows about the head and face. The struggle lasted seven or eight minutes. I bled very freely from my wounds, and at last I began to feel ex hausted. I was entirely blind when down, from the blood flowing into my eyes, but when I could succeed in getting up I could see a little. At last I succeeded in shaking him off, and giving him into the charge of another warder. I was taken to Mr. Gover, the surgeon of the prison, who examined my wounds. In consequence of the injuries I re ceived, I was disabled for 16 days. Mr. Arnold—Was there any reason for his at tacking you ? Prosecutor—l had spoken once during the day and evening to him. I had told him to get on with his work ; that was about an hour before this oc curred. Mr. Arnold—Did he make any observation at the time you told him to get on with his work. Prosecutor—He replied, "All right, master ;" he did not seem at all out of temper. Mr. Arnold—Was anything said at the time he commenced the attack upon you ? Prosecutor—Nor a word on either side. He struck me the first blow just as he was leaving the cell. Mr. Arnold asked the prisoner whether he wished to put any question to the prosecutor, to which he replied in the negative. George Minchin, assistant warder, said—l was present with last witness when he was going to the prisoner's cell. I saw him coming out of the cell. I saw prisoner strike the last witness, who had not said a word to him in my presence when he first attacked him. I could not see any weapon in the prisoner's hand. A great deal of blood flowed from last witness's wounds. No words had been spoken by either party at the time of the commence ment of the attack. At length I secured the pri soner, after last witness had separated himself from him. He then made a violent blow at my head. I parried it and received a slight wound on my left wrist, and also four cuts on the left side of the coat. After Ivers left the cell, I remained there with the prisoner. He called out to another prisoner named Ryan, "I have done for one of the --." At the same time he called for Ryan to come in. Mr. Arnold asked if the instrument used by the prisoner had been discovered. Mr. Pollard said it would be produced by a wit ness he was now about to call. Thomas Handy, principal warder at the prison, said—On the evening of the 19th of May, I went to the prisoner's cell a few minutes after eight. Ivers had at that time gone to the infirmary, and prisoner was declaring that he had murdered one and would murder another. I had orders to remove the pri soner from his cell into another, and thoroughly search him for the instrument with which he had inflicted the wound. I removed him to another cell, where, finding that he was to undergo a thorough search, he gave up this knife. Witness handed up a short instrument, something resembling a broad lancet in a wooden handle, which was broken. Mr. Arnold, on examining it, said it could hardly be termed a knife. The warder observed it was something he had manufactured for his purrose ; it was impossible to say how he had become possessed of it, or how he had concealed it. Mr. Robert Monday Gover, surgeon at the Mill bank prison, said—On the 19th of May Ivers was brought to the infirmary at a little after eight in the evening. His face was covered with blood which I washed off, and I then found that he had several wounds on the face, neck, and temples. A wound on the left temple was sufficiently deep to divide a blood vessel, from which blood poured out freely. On the right temple there was a gash of Sin, or 31in. in inneth, ninprinal in glapth_ It was an extremely dangerous wound. It commenced under the brow of the eye, between the brow and the lid, dividing the latter, and extended to the upper part of the ear. There was a wound on the right side of the neck, in a dangerous situation, and had it gone deep enough it would have been fatal. The other wounds were superficial. Mr. Arnold having informed the prisonfr that the charge against him was for assaulting and wounding with intent to commit murder, inquired of him whether he wished to say anything. Prisoner replied—l never made use of the word murder to any of them at all. Inquiry having been made whether he wished to say anything else, Prisoner observed—lt is no use my saying any thing more. He was then committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, MANCHESTER RACES. JUNE 11. The Trafford Handicap of 5 sous each, with 50 added ; for all ages. Winners extra.

THE GREAT CRICKET MATCH. THE ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN v. THE UNITED ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN. Yesterday was the third day of this match at Lord's Ground; and although, apparently, the game lost much of its interest from an idea that the All England Eleven had it all in their own hands, and would win easily, a very large number of spectators attended. The morning was showery, but did not prevent the resumption of the game at about 12 o'clock, the United Eleven having two wickets to go down —one being Grundy's (who did not score), and the other Atkinson's (who marked one), Wisden took his bat out with 12, in which were a four and a two. The innings terminated for 129. The first wicket fell for 14, second for 15, third for 51, fourth for 89, fifth for 89, sixth for 94, seventh for 114, eighth for 124, ninth for 125, tenth for 129. All England had but 53 runs to get to win, but the vicissitudes of cricket were now fully exemplified—Will sher, Rowbotham, Daft, Haywood, H. H. Stephenson, and Thewlis were all disposed for 14 runs. It was thought that the United had still a chance for winning, 39 runs having to be obtained, and some of the best " bats" being out. The excitement was great. After dinner, however, the steady and sure batting of Alfred Clarke and G. Anderson put an end to the suspense, and gained a victory for their side, with four wickets to go down. In Clarke's 16 were two fours and a two, and in Anderson's 25 six threes and a two. In this match the perfection of cricket was shown. For the United Caffyn, Bennett, and Atkinson bowled well; Lockyer, as wicket-keeper, was splendid; Mortlock, as longstop, clever ; Carpenter, at "point," most active, and the rest of the field in keeping. On the side of All Eng land, Willsher, Jackson, and Tarrant, as bowlers, were all that could be desired; H. H. Stephenson kept wicket most efficiently ; Julius Cesar, at " point," was first-rate, and the rest of the fielding admirable. The match finished at about 4 o'clock, and has aided the " funds" most materially. Score : UNITED ELEVEN. First Innings. Second Innings. W. Mortlock, c Hayward, b Jackson 4 b Willsher .. 4 G.

The great skiff race for £2OO and the championship of the Clyde, which has been looked forward to for some time past with considerable interest by those patronising aquatics, took place on the Clyde on Tuesday morning, the competi tors being Robert Campbell and Duncan Cameron, both of Glasgow. About four months ago Cameron challenged Campbell, through Bell's Life, to pull him for £2OO and the championship of the Clyde, a challenge which was promptly accepted by Campbell, who at that moment occupied the proud position of "champion of Scottish rowers." The race was fixed to come off on the Ist of May last. Cur readers may remember, however, that owing to the ill-health of Cameron, or from some other cause, he did not compete (though he put in an appearance), Campbell walking over the course. After some misunderstanding, it was finally agreed that the race should be run on the 10th June, Mr. J, B. M`Neill, secretary to the Glasgow Regatta Club, being named referee by Bell's Life. Accordingly on Tues day morning, shortly after eight o'clock, the steamers Cardiff Castle and Craignish Castle, which had been chartered by the supporters of Campbell and Cameron, respectively, to convey the public to the scene of contest for the purpose of witnessing the race, left the Steamboat Wharf with a goodly number of passengers. On arriving at the Course, which was from Garmoyle Lightship to the Dyke nearly opposite Dunglass, a distance of about four miles, very little time was lost in preparation. The men stepped into their tiny craft, and without much preliminary paddling, at once took their positions—Cameron to the south and Campbell to the north. At this moment the bet ting in the Cardiff Castle, which a day or two before had been 6 to 4 on Campbell in town, was 5 to 4 on Campbell. On board the Craignish Castle the betting was even, with, in some cases, Cameron for choice. Odds were scarcely to be got. Looking at the men, the appearance of Campbell was most trustworthy, though a number were very sanguine about Cameron ; and both were loudly cheered and encou raged by their respective supporters. All things being ready, the signal gun was fired, and the start made. It was one as fair and clean as we have ever seen. If there was any advantage it was possessed by Cameron who, how ever, proved himself quite unable to retain it. After the first few strokes Campbell quietly crept away from Came ron, though the latter exerted himself nobly. Though the excitement was great for the first half mile of the race, it soon subsided, it being evident that Campbell was the better man, as he managed not only to pass Cameron, but to keep a head of him with comparative ease. When opposite Dumbarton Castle Campbell was fully a boat length in advance of Cameron, and from that point he increased his distance regularly and steadily, till it reached about 10 boat lengths. This space between him and his antagonist Campbell kept up till within 100 yards of the goal, when he proved himself to be quite fresh and lively by putting on a spurt, which increased his distance from Cameron to 13 or 14 lengths, at which he came in victor, in beautiful style, amid the loud cheers of a large number of spectators. Cameron seemed pretty much ex hausted when the race was over. Although great interest was felt in the result of the race, the amount of money that changed hands on the event did not seem to be very large, as the conviction was generally prevalent that Camp bell was the man to claim the stakes. The race, of four miles, was run in 21 minutes 47 se conds. Campbell, the now " Champion of the Clyde," is 36, while his opponent is only 24 years of age. The stakes will be paid on Tuesday next by the Editor of Bell's Life. On arrival at the Broomielaw, a large concourse of people had assembled at the Steamboat Wharf to learn the result and cheer the victor.—North Britasla Mail. THE VOYAGE OF THE GREAT EASTERN.—This vessel has just finished another successful voyage from New York to Liverpool, at which port she arrived yesterday morning, after a detention of nine hours outside the bar for want of water. She left New York on the morning of the Ist June, and so great NI as the desire of shippers to send their produce by this vessel, that upwards of £l,OOO worth of freight was left behind. The big ship brings 500 passengers, 56,000 dolts. in specie, and upwards of 6,000 tons of cargo —consisting principally of wheat, corn, and provisions. - While lying at New York the Great Eastern was opened for a few days for exhibition, and upwards of 3,000 people daily visited the vessel. On the voyage to Liverpool the ship encountered very severe head winds, yet so steady was her motion that the doctor had a clean " bill of health" all the way, and the passengers, instead of being i nconvenienced" by malache du mer, spent a very jolly time of it in concerts, balls, hurdle races on decks, &c. The night previous t o the vess e l en t er i ng t h e M ersey a grand ball was given in honour of .the birthday of Mrs. Walter Paton, the captain's wife. The passengers are loud in their praise of Captain Paton's conduct as a gentleman an d a sailor. CHELMSFORD RACES, WEDNESDAY.

In this order they rounded the bottom turn, where Caliban and Certificate got on good terms with the front lot. Half way up the straight Gibraltar and Peneus had to give way to Keane, Caliban, and Certificate. At the half distance Certificate and the favourite were side by side, Caliban close up third.

King of Utopia on the off side close to the rails made play with Fontenoy close up, Bar chettina and Vindicta in the middle of the course next. Be foi reaching the distance Fontenoy had had sufficient, as Grimshaw had to raise his whip, and in a few more strides Barchettina followed suit. At the top of the hill, before reaching the Stand enclosure, Vindicta closed with the favourite, and for a few strides appeared to have the best of the race, until Fordham gave the favourite a stroke, and "the King" answering gamely to the call again got his head in front, and won a good race cleverly by a neck; Overture beaten for second place by a head; Strawberry Hill was several lengths off fourth ; the others beaten off, The Cup Stakes of 50 cove, added to a handicap of 10 sovs eac h, 3ft ; winners extra.

(From Take-No •Ouichi-Skimod-Zuke-No-Kami, &c. &c. 2 Japanese EnVoy Extraordinary, to the Head Daimio of the Department for Correspondence touching the Barta- /flans. Nagasaki.) "Truly these English Barbarians are a wonderful people. We have already seen the houses and feasts of their Daindos, their Parliament, or national talking-house, their great Exhibition, their Woolwich, their wax works, their garden of wild animals, their coal-pits, and their manufactories, and we are indeed very Weary, and long much for the time when we shall return to our beloved Japan. But we had not yet seen the strangest of all the strange sights here— what may indeed be called the day of the going forth of the people of London—the feast of Dar-bee. "Dar-bee is the name of one of the Cheat Daimios, the chief of the party opposed to the present Tycoon Par-mer stoon. But how this feast comes to be called not after the name of the reigning Tycoon, but of him who is now plot ting to get his place and his power from him, we, your humble slaves, cannot explain. But it is the opinion of Matsadaira Iwaime, a man of sagacity and learning, that the feast is in honour of an ancestor of the living Daimio Dar-bee, who, according to the religion of the barbarians being worshipped under the symbol of a horse, is reverenced with processions and races of horses, such as we yesterday beheld. The living Daimio Dar-bee ranch loves horses, and races of horses, as we are told by our attendant Mac donald. " All the Barbarians in their chief toWn of London are compelled to celebrate this festival, which is held at a place called Ep-sum, seven li distant from the capital, situated among hills, and approached by many high roads. Those who cannot buy or hire a horse to carry or draw them thither, are compelled to go on foot, and all the inhabitants of London assemble on the hills of Ep-sum, overlooking a smooth space of green turf, which is an enclosure sacred to the great ancestor Dar-bee, and is guarded by police-men in blue garments. Even the great Tycoon Par• mer-stoon himself is compelled to take part in these rites, and the Councils of the Nation are closed, and all the Daimios and Counsellors, and all their servants, may gowith the Tycoon to the feast of the great ancestor Dar•.bee. "We journeyed in two norimons, drawn each by four horses, wishing to show our respect for the religion of the Barbarians. For all the seven li the road was full of car riages and horses carryingthem that journeyed to the feast. They recited loud prayers and sang odes to the ancestor, and played on musical instruments, like to the straight horns used by the sellers of fried fish in Japan, as they moved along in procession. For all the seven li these wor shippers showed us much respect, liftinguptheir fore-finger to the nose, and extending the other fingers outwards, which is their greeting of honour in public, and calling out 'Hu/- 100, cri-keel' meaning,' Oh, beautiful and wonderful They also expressed aloud their admiration of our persons and our garments. Our hats, which I and Matsadaira Iwaime wore because of the sun, which shone this day—a circum stance not frequent in the country of England—were much praised, and many (as interpreted to us by Macdonald) asked at what place such hats could be purchased (in the Barbarian language 000-is-your-hatter r) I bade him (Macdonald) tell these inquiring Barbarians the name of the merchant in the Street of Hatters at Nagasaki, of whom we purchased our travelling supply of hats, and when I see the Daimio Rus-sool, I shall propose to him the opening of a trade in these hats, which the Barbarians so much admire. This will give exceeding satisfaction to the Barbarians, spread our manufactures, and cause great gain to the hat-makers of Japan. Also, observing us to use our nose-papersi many asked us if we had sufficient thereof— the words being in their language, ' How-are-yer-off-for pa-per l' the meaning of which words Macdonald taught us, telling us to answer in the Barbarian tongue, ' You bee-blode 1' which means, Thanks be unto you, 0 people, we have sufficient for our needs.' The Barbarian tongue, as your serenity will perceive, is brief, and a few words mean much. " On their way to this feast the crowd stopped at certain small temples by the wayside called turn-pike,' where invocations were tittered in a loud voice, and small pieces of coin given to the priests, doubtless in payment for prayers, or for propitiation of the great ancestor DAII-BEE. At other temples by the way-side meat and drink offer. ings were made by the Barbarians. Also priests in ragged mourning garments, with dust upon their heads, and bare footed, ran by the way-side, with prayers inscribed on papers whieh they offered to the people for money. Of these prayer-papers we have bought some for deposit in the archives of the department for Correspondence with Bar barians. "When we came to the place where a seat of honour was prepared for us, we saw that all the Barbarians of London were indeed here assembled. The crowd was as the crowd of flies about the honey-pots in the market of Nuku Haim, and the shouting as the roar of many waters, and the horses and the carriages more than could be counted. And we saw the Tycoon, Par-mer stoon, in common garments like other men, with many counsellors of the Mikado and Daimios, and all the Parliament of the nation, in an enclosed place, below where we sat, and many of them had little books in their hands, and they stood in a ring, and wrote in their books, and uttered invo cations in a loud voice, sounding like I—lay—five—to-- one,' 'Six to nine- on—Bucketono' 'T—talro —it--,' which we believe to have been prayers or religious exclama tions, but they were not clearly explained to us, as indeed one interpreter was not sufficient for the many strange sights we saw that day. "After awhile, all the people gathered in two rows, with an open green space between them, and a dog was let loose, and the people shouted as if devoting him to the evil powers, to which indeed we believe the unclean animal to have been offered as a sacrifice. Then came forth horses of ex ceeding height, but more thin than storks or flamingoes, with men on their backs in bright garments, and the people shouted, and the horses galloped up and down like the wind, more and and more joining them, till at last they all disappeared round the hill in front of us, and by the aid of the grasses which make far-off things near, we saw them a mile and a half away. Then of a sudden we heard a bell, and a loud shouting, and the crowd swayed to and fro, and we felt our heads go round by reason of the cry ing and the multitude, and in two moments after the bell, we heard a great roaring and a great sound of horses' feet, and behold something rushed before us, but whether it was horses or men, or soldiers, or railway carriages, we knew not, and then the people poured into the green space which they had abstained from till now, and we were told the feast of Dar-bee was over, and there arose a noise as of pistols, and our hearts turned to water, but Macdonald told us to be of good courage, for it was the corks of the whole some medicinal drink called by the Barbarians sham pain,' of which we have often drunk, for it is gocd for the stomach in this country. Then all the multitude took food, and the means of spreading it out before them from their carriages) and drink, and began eating and drinking much in honour of ' Dar-bee,' for this is a part of the festival which must on no account be omitted. " Wo are told that many Daimios give thousands of taels at this festival to the priests of Dar-bee, who tend and do honour to the sacred horses, who are kept for this curious festival, and that there are many Daimios who keep sacred horses for the feast, such as we had seen, tall and strong and exceeding thin, and men in bright garments to ride upon their backs. But all these things are a mystery to us, and our heads still ache with all we saw and heard that day, though we took many bottles of the Barbarian medicine sham pain' to cool us, and give strength to our bodies. " Why all the Daimios and the people of all ranks down to the lowest coolies flock to the festival, unless it be that it is enjoined by religion, we cannot tell. The way of seven li is very sore to travel for heat and dust and crowd, and Matsadaira Iwaime thinks it is a journey of penance, laid upon the Barbarians by their priests, and I agree that this is probable, though Macdonald, when we asked, said it was sport,' a word meaning play' or pleasure.' But how there can be play or ' pleasure' in suspending the Councils of the Nation and the business of the capital, and journey ing seven li, through heat and dust and crowds, to see many tall and thin horses galloping madly for two moments like railway engines that have run away, and in paying many thousand taels to the priests of the horses, neither I nor Matsadaira Iwiame can understand. We believe there is some meaning in this which the Tycoon does not wish us to fathom. Indeed there are many things just as difficult of comprehension, about which these barbarians clearly wish to keep us in the dark. When we inquire, they give us reasons which would not satisfy children, much more men of statecraft and learning. "Of all their strange things, certainly, the feast of ' Dar bee' is the most strange. What passed on our road home is little known to me. The medicine sham-pain,' among other qualities eauseth sleep to descend on the eyes, and I think I slept, for when I next remember, I was in my bed in the Yamun of Claridge, and my head ached exceedingly by reason of the much thought I had given to the strange things of this day." THE " PET" GOVERNESS.—The educated women are, as a cJss, more clamorous about the ir trials and miseries than domestic servants. To do the p ublic justice, it seems never tired of listening to the wrongs, temptations, and trials of the governesses. How many novels are written upon their hardships 1 "The ideal governess," says a popular authority, " may th us be described : A lady above the middle height ; young , and ge nerally handsome ; her dress simple, but in excellent taste ; her manner timid, but unmistakeably ladylike; her brow is slightly clouded by an expression of premature thoughtfulness, but a kind 'osf Pills—Truthful glance or courteous word dispels the gloom as by a charm, Her voice is low and musical, save when the persistent naughtiness of her pupils imparts to it an accent of plain tive remonstrance."

Whatever grounds there may have been in the , past for the many complaints that have been made of the tardy manner in which it is said the works for the stoppage of the tidal waters have been car ried out, one thing is certain, that the most ener getic efforts have been made during the last four days, under the direction of Messrs.Hawkshaw and Lynn, the engineers. SiEce Saturday, from 800 to 1,000 men have been employed, and since Monday morning down to Tuesday there had been dropped no less than about 75 panels into their places, or more than 24 feet in height of panelling. On that afternoon it was determined that the attempt should be made to complete the coffer-dam suffi ciently to stop the water. The fourth row of panels were dropped on the flood tide, and the tidal waters were actually stopped. Of course the stoppage caused an accumulation of water on the outer or sea side of the dam, on which side alone there were 24 feet of panels above the soil. The "head" of waters, as it is called, was very small there being only a difference of about seven feet in the height of the water on the two sides of the dam, whilst from the inside of the dam the loose earth. had been washed away by the force of the scour, The greatest satisfaction was experienced at the apparent victory which had been achieved by the art of men over their powerful antagonist, and messengers were at once dispatched to Lynn with the welcome intelligence. Alas, that the gratifi cation which was felt should be so short-lived. The panels were dropped in at about half-past four o'clock, and by half-past five o'clock it became pain fully apparent to all that the dam had burst, from the boiling seething waters on the upper side of the dam. The full force of the facts suggested them selves at once to the engineers, viz., that the panels had been undermined, and the water was scouring beneath; and the transition from cheerfulness to gloom was rapidly apparent in the countenances of the managing men, who, without doubt, realised the disastrous results of this failure just at the moment when success was being rejoiced at. It was quite a study to look at the long faces which the en gineers pulled, as the dam has gone just at the point the weakness of which we have previously called attention to. It was found to be necessary to take up three rows of the panels, otherwise it was feared that the whole dam would be carried away. As soon at; this was done, the water again rushed up the cut with considerable force. A portion of the gallows frame was broken down by the lifting of the panels. As soon as the water got at the highest point, at flood. time, some divers were sent down to ascertain the extent of the damage, which was variously esti mated. The divers found that one of the panels was completely shattered, whilst a number of others were doubled up into strange fantastic shapes. Two or three of the principal piles were also broken, and the bottom of the cut was scoured to a great depth. For the last few days there has been about 2,000 sacks of earth per day thrown into the drain on the upper side of the dam, but the divers found that on one side of it, they were all washed away. Of all that had been deposited none remained. It is greatly to be feared that the chapter of ca tastrophes in connexion with the unfortunate imin dation is not over. The tides will be at their highest on Friday morning. COUN7BY MfI RAL2S. - 4).-- - LYNN-TUESDAY.
