I • THE SUN. • LONDON", TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 1861 One of the great battles for which we have some days been looking bet.,7een Federals and Confede rates has now been fought—possibly another or two since, as this was fought on tho 6th and 7th of thti mouth. Unfortunately it is impossible not to suspect the accounts of such exaggeration that we can hordly rely upon the results as reported to us ; still the main featvres of the battle we may presume to be correctly descri t:Necl. Our readers will rememb' that the Confederates ha'd formed a new line of defence south of Tennessee, and aloi2,g the extreme north of the States of Mississippi aud A; abama ; its basis was the railroad which runs westward from Memphis on the Mississippi, and it extended froLTA Island No. 10 to Decatur, in Alabama ; Corinth, where REAURE o ARD appears to have held his headqartsrs, was in the.' centre of this line, and he was able, therefore, according to circumstances, to mass his troops from both flanks by means of the railway, as the line occupied seems to have been about 180 miles in length. We think this was done, be cause we observe - ,he names of the Gene rals who were in coromavd at the extremities, as present at the battle of Cori.nth. BEAUREGARD, well informed evidently, saw that the Federal ad vanced army was weaker than it should be, and by, what was certainly good generalship, he resolved to overpower the advance before the supports could arrive. In this he must have been to a great ex tent successful. The battle on the 6th was entirely in his favour ; anti if the numbers are exaggerated, there can be no doubt that he gained an important victory. A Federal General was captured—pro bably batteries and prisoners to an important amount were captured a Iso ; it was the old strategy of BEAUREGARD at Manaesak 4 , and the result was the same, with the remarkable ditTerence that there was no panic and run this time. Vie Federals, though overpowered, fought, so far as we can yet judge, in their retreat, like soldiers. But BUELL, one of the best of the Western Fede ral Generals, was too near. The flood of numbers as now on the Federal side , an d numbers a g ain decided the day; the Confederates had to retreat to their Central position, Corinth ; they were pur sued, it is sai • d, by the Federal cavalry, and General JOHNSTON sai d to be killed, and BEAUREGARD wounded — howeve r , on all these minutia we must await another mail or two. The result would seem to show that the generals on both sides, in the West, are for America, able men ; and that the armies, in point of quality, are not so unequally matched. The victory appeared, in eac,h case, to rest with the larger army. The South art' encou they can att ac k an d .drive by finding tha t back the North—the North is encouraged b y find ing that its chief reliance, su periority in men and material, can drive back temporary victors. C or i nth was reported to be a strong position, however; the Federal gunboats cannot approach it, and the able General, BEAUREGARD, may , yet hold it a l ong Indeed, time, even with much inferior :Goobers. to lose it, would be to lose the graild c" lgeeting link of railroad between Western and Easter -1 Secession. We should remark, that the account of the second day's battle, and the Federal vioterYt are entirely from Northern telegrams. The most serious loss to the Confederates is, how ever, their Island No. 10. It does not seem that there can be any mistake respecting the feet of . its surrender. The information comes direct from the flag officer in command of the bomb ard ing squadron of gun boats ; nor is there any improbability in the statement that 6,000 prisoners and 100 guns were, captut ed, since the place was so watched by the gunboats and a land army under General WALLEK, that no part of the garrison could slip off, as FLOYD and his men did from Fort Donnelson. It was stated in former accounts that Island No. 10 was the real left flank of the Confederate line of defence. This is not unlikely, since its capture, we were always told, would leave Memphis at the mercy of the Federals, and the Mississippi open down to New Orleans. If all this be so, the loss of this position will be a very severe one to the Confederates. It may enable the Federals to turn BEAUREGARD'S left flank, or even to co-operate with PORTER'S flotilla, which was advancing from the Gulf on New Orleans. General M'CLELLAN'S army had also come within sight of its work. It had landed—all dangers from the Merrimac and her smaller companions having proved imaginary. His tsrmy is reported to be very large ; at first it was to be 80,000 men, then it mounted to 100,000, and then again to 150,000 ! At Yorktown the Confederates had constructed batteries two miles in length, with a swamp in front, and cannonading without result was going on from both sides. It is supposed that Yorktown cannot hold out against the immense strength both in men and artillery of the Federals. It is said, however, to muster a garrison of 30,000 men. M'CLELLAN is now indeed the observed of all. He must do something to show that he is not merely a drill sergeant, and he will probably do it. He must rout the Confederates and occupy Richmond, or sink his reputation to the level of an ordinary commander. He has every thing he could ask to work with, except indeed an army of veterans, but then his opponents have no more veterans than he. We do not observe, more ever, that any Generals of known ability are opposed to him. They all appear to have gone to Corinth. • Congress, on its part, is at last doing something. The House of Representatives has got through with the " monster" tax bill. It will, however, probably have to encounter a hard fight in the Senate, where the States are equally represented. Still more important is it to observe that the Emancipation Resolution is not to be allowed to lie idle, or to become a dead letter. It was followed immediately by the Bill for the Emanipation of the Slaves in the dis trict of Columbia ; bat now the House has appointed a committee of nine to report if a plan can be pro posed, for the gradual emancipation of the slaves in all the Border States, including Virginia itself. Not content with this, the committee by a subse quent resolution were empowered to extend the in quiry to other States. It would thus appear that the North does at length perceive, that whether they mean to conquer or to really amalgamate the Southern States after conquest, the one thing need ful is to get rid of the evil which originated the war, and which has been the great source of almost all other evils to the United States. It may suit the purpose of Tory cliques here to talk about Uni versal Suffrage and the Ballot, as the cause of all the political vices of America—it was really the un scrupulous and demoralizing practices of those thorough aristocrats, the slaveholders, which has corrupted the whole body politic in the States. They were, of course, omnipotent in the South; in the North they used the moneyed interest on the one hand, and on the other appealed to the lowest of the multitude. They corrupted everything—the Presidential chair, the supreme court of justice, and the Legislature. It is American aristocracy which demoralised, degraded, and ruined America at home, and made its diplomacy so hectoring, bragging, sharping, anti ,ritb oth.r nations. Gene rations must pass away before the evil tone given to American society through its Southern aristocracy will pass away—the first step towards improvement is, however, that which seems likely to be taken at last—namely, to get rid of the pure absolutism, which makes American slaveholders the illustration of the most perfect aristocratical oligarchy the world has yet seen. Hence the gentle accents with which their acts are spoken of by Mr. BERESFORD HOPE and by the Tories generally. They do not, perhaps, like slavery, but they do naturally sympa thise with their fellow aristocrats, although slavery be the basis of their position. ier The Volunteer Review yesterday at Brighton can be looked back to now, by all who were in aly way concerned in it, with complete and unalloyed satis faction. In the history of this great mo-ement, the Easter Monday of 1862 will staid fo- th conspicu ously. It will be coupled in recolection with the ever memorable day when her Moll',Gracious MA JESTY in person reviewed in Hyde Park,as nearly as possible, the very same number of the Ntional Guard of England. The aggregate upon eaohocca sion being in point of fact some TWENTY THOtrgPiD VOLUNTEER RIFLEMEN. Yesterday, the 25t April, 1862, was happily quite an exceptional da, for the season—inasmuch as it was considerably more than a merely favourable specimen of genial spring weather. After the late drenching days and nights during which ST. SWITHIN and AQUARIUS —in defiance of all the laws hitherto re gulating the Calendar and the Almanac—appeared somehow to have entered into a bewildering com pact (a compact under the circumstances amount ing to nothing less than a double anachronism) to stop the whole process of vegetation by the simple device of drowning it, the fine weather came at last just in the nick of time for the review, and came, too, with a sunburst ! Corps after corps mustered at their respective rendezvous in the metropolis—some of them at cock crow : and steadily, with the regularity of clock work, in accordance to a nicety with the previous arrangements, marched down to the appointed ter minus. Thence, with admirable precision, they were borne away together, turn by turn, in a suc cession of trains, down to Brighton. Arrived at their destination, they were there in the immediate vicinity of the Brighton Railway station, rapidly marshalled by their officers, and with bands playing and flags flying, marched off at once to the imme diate point at which each corps had its pre-arranged resting ground. Yonder—it was in the pretty gar dens of that fantastic Pavilion. Yonder—it was in the Old and North Steyne. And now again it was further back from the seashore, in St. Peter's Church enclosure. A glorious gala day it proved for all Brighton --3 day to be held long in pleasant remembrance by thousands upon thousands of spectators, whether mere visitors of that fashionable watering place or habitual residents there. It was not that London alone contributed to this gala-day's enjoyment by sending down \ to Brighton in swift succession from an early hour yesterday crowds of gaily-clad holiday-makers, 11 , women, and children bent upon participating in the say's proceedings, in the conspicuous but un 01,!rusiTe character of admiring spectators. Nor w as it that the chief proportion of that mass of volunteer &men w as despatched also, train by train, to Brighten fre e , tae me tropolis. 5.'.:0r that same great world of Inovikcial s distriets of the south at least—contributed very largely both to the number of the sightseers and to the number of the skilled and disciplined riflemen who took part in DEATH OF THE COUNTESS (DOWAGER) OF SAND 'MM.—We have to announce the death of Louisa Mary. Countess of Sandwich, which took place on Saturday even- LAT ing at her residence in Grosvenor-square, after an illness of the Review, As every one who took any interest whatever in the demonstration so long and eagerly looked for ward to, exulted at heart to remember, regarding it as an augury in itself of success the whole martial pageant was to only a few days. The lamented countess, who was the daughter of Armar Corry, first Earl of Belmore, and con sequently great aunt of the present peer, was born April 3, 1781, and married, July 9, 1804, Geo. Jno., sixth Earl of Sandwich, by whom she had issue two daughters, the late Lady Ashburton and the late Countess Walewski, and an only son Jno. Wm., the present Earl of Svdwich. By the demise of the countess several noble families are placed in mourning. _ _ _ be presided over by a veteran hero who first fleshed his sword and first won his spurs before the birth of one tithe of the gallant young riflemen who THE WISBECH SCREW STEAMER.—Nothing has been heard with regard to the screw steamer Wisbech, which was chartered during the excitement which arose out of the ,Trent affair for the conveyance of military stores to Canada. Increasing anxiety is therefore felt as to the fate yesterday passed in review before him. A day of profound and patriotic satisfaction it must have been from first to last to General Lord CLYDE, G.C.8., of the steamer, and if no tidings come respecting her by the mail which will be distributed to-day, the case will wear a and (the initials still look strange to us) K.S.I.— Lord CLYDE being able so far to cast his recollec tions back, as to contrast in his own now ripened judgment the British Volunteers of the days of the Emperor NAPOLEON with those of the days of the reigning Emperor NAPOLEON ! Then, considerably more than half a century since, when the gallant veteran was yet in his boyhood, the threats hurled across the Channel by the first BONAPARTE, like the fabled dragon's teeth sown by CADMIIS, sprouted up in armed men all over these islands. In itself that too was a noble movement. It sprang forth more rapidly than the rifle movement nowadays-- but it, perhaps in consequence of that, gave early signs of evanescence. It arose under the pcessure of an imminent and urgent emergency. It was the the answer given out as it were upon the instant to a positive threat of Invasion by the soldiers of France, conquerors then already of Italy and Syria, very serious aspect. The steamer is owned by Mr. It. Young, mayor of Wisbech. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RlVER.—Yesterday morning two youths, named William and Henry Kebble, sons of Mr. Kebble, plumber and painter, Union-street, Borough, hired a boat for the purpose of rowing down to Greenwich. On reaching Bugsby's Hole, off Rotherhithe, they got foul of a tier of shipping. Wm. Kebble rose to push off the boat from the vessel's side, and in doing so pitched headlong in. It is supposed he must have been sucked under the tier of vessels, as he was not seen to rise again to the surface. His brother was rescued by the crew of the brig Mary Watson from his perilous position, being unable to manage the boat, and she rapidly filling. A most singular and melancholy accident took place at Halifax yesterday, resulting in• the death of a lad 13 years of age, the son of the Rev. W. Reynolds. The poor boy was sent up stairs to open the library window, and his prolonged absence exciting suspicion, his sister was directed to call him. She accordingly repaired to the library to find her brother suspended by his silk necktie from a hook on the side of the window. He was quite dead. It is supposed that ho slipped off the box on which he was standing to open the sash, and was caught in the hook as he fell. . _ led on by the greatest Captain of modern times, per haps of all times, NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. There, SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT THE MIDLAND RAIL WAY STATION, NOTTINGHAM: About three o'clock yes terday afternoon, a pointsman, named John Corner, aged 20, was at work repairing a point, at tile Wilford Crossing, near the Midland Railway Station, Notts, when a heavily in 1804, was g athered together the Grand Army the French Empire, the army entitled, because of its intended destination, the army of England. Multitudes of flat-bottomed boats were lying moored under the shelter of the batteries bristling along the heights of Boulogne, ready at the appointed signal, had but NELSON proved less active and the " star" of NAPOLEON more propitious, to float the whole army across that narrow belt of the Channel. It was in the presence of this imminent peril of a formidable Attempt, at least, at Invasion that the Volunteers at that date mustered by thousands upon thousands—civilians in all parts of the king dom eagerly arming themselves with muskets, just as their grandsons have now very recently been arming themselves with rifles, to aid whenever and wherever it might prove necessary, the operations of the regular army. It has not necessarily been thus:in " hot haste" that the Volunteers of the latter half of this nineteenth century have been mus tered—to the end that they might, in the same manner upon the instant, repel any distinct, or visible and audible threat of invasion. The Rifle Volunteers have been organised, it ought rather to be said, with a view to the prevention beforehand of even the threat of any such hostile movement as an invasion. At peace with all the great powers of the world, in cordial alliance and harmony especially with all the chief States of the European part of Christen dom, England has nevertheless during these last three or four years armed herself more completely and thoroughly, so as to be prepared at any hour for any possible emergency of a hostile charac ter. Her bearing in this way has been all along, and still is, strictly defensive. It is as if the Nation had suddenly ap plied to itself the words of Holy 'Writ—" A strong man armed keepeth his house !" Those words give the simple key to the whole of this Volunteer movement. They explain, with a sig nificance strictly pacific, the whole meaning of yesterday's pageant down at Brighton—where twenty thousand young, and active, and admirably disciplined Riflemen were reviewed iu the valley of the White Hawk Down and its neighbour hood by General Lord CLYDE, accompanied by his staff of two Colonels ana three Lieut.-Colonels —the two former being the Inspector-General of Volunteers, Colonel M‘MultDo, and his Deputy, Colonel ERSKINE, the three latter Lieut.-Colonels LUARD, HUME, and HARMAN, Assistant Inspec tors of Volunteers. So completely satisfactory in all essential particulars was the spectacle of yes terday, as affording proof positive of the high state of diseipline to which the different corps have been brought by steady and continuous drill, that none can now entertain a moment's serious doubt as to the impetus that must be thereby imparted to the entire movement. Anything like " distinction" here, among so many corps that there obtained such general distinction of ano ther kind for themselves, must necessarily appear invidious. Yet are we tempted to particu larise for a moment en passant the London Scot tish and the Inns of Court Riflemen, the latter known more familiarly as the Levil's Own—as having especially won the admiration of the spec tators by their elastic tread, and the exquisite pre cision of their every moment. laden goods train passed. lie afterwards turned round and re-commenced working, standing between the rails. The train backed, and before he could escape the brake van ran over his body, crushing his head and almost smashing him to pieces. His death was instantaneous. THE DISTRESS AT BLACKBURN.—At the first meeting of the newly-elected Board of Guardians for this union, held on Saturday morning, the returns of the re lieving officers showed that no fewer than 7,429 persons belonging to the Blackburn district had been relieved duri lug the week, at a cost of £417. 95., being in excess of the previous week's return in numbers of 143, and in cost £32 15s. ; while in the corresponding week of last year 1,527 persons were relieved, at a cost of £76 9s. ld. In the Os.. waldtwistle district 849 persons had been relieved, at an expenditure of £42 Is. 6d. as against 434 persons, ani. £2B Ils. 3d. cost, in the corresponding week of last year ; In the Darwen district, 949 persons had been relieved with £43 ss. 2d. as against 484 with £27. 2s. in the same week of last year. The total number relieved last week in. the Blackburn Union was, therefore, 9,227 persons, at a total cast of £502. 15s. Bd. Through the agency of the Relief Fund Committee, nearly 11,000 lb. of bread and 10M:10lb. of meal were distributed last week, at a cost of about £l4O. The relief fund now amounts to £2,600. The proposition to create a temporary new relief district in Blackburn, by a subdivision of the Blackburn district, has been approved by the committee appointed to inquire into the expediency of the same, and notice of motion was given at the board of guardians' meeting to elect an assistant relieving officer in a fortnight. The district will include St. John's, St. Mary's and Trinity Wards, and in one of them temporary accom modation will be provided for an office.—Manchester Guar dian. FRIGHTFUL ARTILLERY ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning, while experiments were being made at several of the batteries in the Dover garrison, in order to see how quickly the guns could be manned in the event of an alarm, a frightful accident took place at the Drop Battery. This is one of the new batteries overhanging Snargate-street, and near the Western Heights barracks. It appears, from what can at present be ascertained, that the 42-pounder guns mounted at this part of the fortifications were to be fired immediately after the discharge of the guns at a cer tain battery at the Castle, which is situate at the opposite side of the town. After the guns had been loaded, three of the artillerymen who had been engaged in the operation seated themselves, most incautiously as it appears at pre sent, upon the parapet of the battery and immediately in front of one of the pieces. The man whose duty it was to fire the gun took his place at the touch-hole, and seems to have concluded that his comrades, although not to be seen, were out of danger, for at the appointed signal he applied the friction-tube, and, melancholy to relate, the three poor fellows who had so incautiously placed themselves in the position described were blown off the parapet. All three were very much injured, and one, Andrew M'Dowell by name, was killed ; one of his arms and some other parts of his body being blown over into the town. The other men were taken to the military hospital, where they remain under medical treatment. They are shockingly disfigured, and it seems very doubtful whether they will recover. The man who fired the gun is placed under arrest until the coroner's inquest on the deceased man, which is expected to take place this day (Tuesday). DEATH OF AN IRISH PATRIOT.—CoI. Doheny, who accompanied M'Manus's bones to Ireland along with the Californian deputation, has died at New York. He was one of the patriots who took for their motto in '4B, " Perish the altar if it stands in the way of liberty." A New York journal of the 3d instant thus announces Do heny's decease :—" Colonel Michael Doheny, one of the well-knownlrish patriots who took a prominent part in the unstrcessful revolution of '4B, expired last Tuesday night, of intermittent fever, at his residence, in 18th-street, South Brooklyn. The deceased was a native of Cashel, courvy Tipperary, Ireland, and came of highly respectable parentage, During the stormy agitation for the repeal of the 'Union, though only a very young man, he was one of the most conspicuous members of the great Repeal Associa tion, and, as a keen debater, had few equals even in that very hatellectual assemblage. His pen contributed some of the nost terrible leaders fulminated in the columns of the Dubrn Nation, at a time when celebrities as T. Davis, C. G. Diffy, and J. Mitchell, controlled that able journal. He was : . or a long time also associate editor of the Tipperary Free Fress, and, we believe, at an early period of his career servet as a parliamentary reporter in London. He was likew se a member of the Irish bar, but devoted very little time to the practical business of the law, being entirely taken up with the revolutionary movements of his compatriots. The bold stand which he took among the Young Ireland party in the unfortunate fiasco of '4B marked him out as a special object for the hostility of the Ritish Cabinet, and a large reward was offered for his apprehension, but after a series of hairbreadth escayos he succeeded in reaching England in disguise, and "lade his way safely to this country. His career here i; well known. He was admitted to the bar in this city, bok an active part in political and military matters, and aas considered an excellent stump speaker. He served for a ime as colonel of the 9th New York State Militia Regiment; and when the war broke out was chosen lieu tenant colonel of the Tammany regiment, but declined. A few months ago he accompanied the remains of the lamented Terence Bellow M'Manus to Ireland, where he was most enthusiastically received by his countrymen." The correspondent of Saunders' News, writing from Ballinrobe, Saturday, says : —" Francis Lavelle, bro ther of the Rev. Patrick Lavelle, has paid the debt of na• ture,but under rather painful circumstances. He was killed by a fall from his horse. He was in Ballinrobe during Thursday, and was on his way to the residence of his brother at Partry, when the horse fell and threw his rider heavily. The accident was observed by soine passers by, and the unfortunate man was conveyed to a house near at hand. Dr. Roughen, of Ballinrobe, was immediately on the spot, and used the only remedies possible, but without effect ; he died yesterday (Good Friday) morning. The part he played in the Partry business has rendered him rather notoriois. It will be recollected he was summoned last Septemer, or thereabouts, for breaking down a pound be • longingto Lord Plunket, but did not appear. He was sub sequenty arrested at Drumcondra College (All Hallows), Dublin,and conveyed to Ballinrobe, where he entered into securitin to appear to take his trial, The trial, I believe, was postponed to next assizes. It is somewhat remarkable that this is the second person connected with the principal actors it the doings at Partry who has met death by vio lence—tle first being Harrison, the steward of Lord Plun ket, who was shot dead ; and the second, Francis Lavelle, the brothr of the Rev. Mr. Lavelle." A lettr from San Francisco, written by a resi dent, state that M'Manus died in a most pitiable condi tion. "They let the poor fellow die a pauper in the com mon country hospital in San Francisco, and now make all this fuss bout him. Many of those who subscribed largely to the expuses, to my own knowledge refused him pecu niary assitance while alive and in actual want. A few nights bare the poor man died I gave him a glass of hot whisky an water at a bar room in this city. He had not enough to for for a drink himself. The next I heard of him was that h was picked up in a fit, and brought to the hos pital, wher be died, and was buried as a pauper." A Naps letter says:—" We have now entered on Passion Week, and Stabat Maters are the order of the day. Last ?riday Pergolesi's inimitable Stabat Mater was performed t San Francesco Paolo. The church was crowded, an the music was admirably executed, Tiberini, Aldighieri, On Saturda: w e h a d a n o velty, an d a mos t agreeable one, tad the other singers of San Carlo taking a p art . in the form ( a dtabat Mater by Mr. George Douglas, one of the respecable officers of the English Legion, who has since settleduad married an English lady in Naples.

EXECUTION OF JEREMIAH MOORE AT MARY , 1011OUGH.—Jeremiah Moore suffered the extreme penalty of the law in front of the gaol at Maryborough on Saturday morning at half-past eight o'clock, for the murder of Ann Spencer.

There were not more than 500 persons present, as it was generally believed he would not be hanged till 12 o'clock. A large body of constabulary was in attendance, but, beyond the mere show, their services were not other wise required, the crowd being extremely orderly. The governor of the gaol had the best possible arrangements made, which were actively carried out by the officials.— Yveising Freeman, THE SUN'', 1 !LONDON, TUESD 4.1 7 EVFNING, APRIL 22, 1862.

After having supplied Nicksich with provisions, a Turkish convoy, escorted by 14 companies of troops, proceeded towards Noschdra, whence five battalions of Turkish infantry had been sent to meet it. At one hour's journey beyond Krestac the ad vanced guard of the convoy and its escort discovered a superior force of Montenegrins, by whom they were immediately attacked. The advanced guard, however, occupied a steep hill, and firmly maintained their position. The rear guard of the Turkish troops, yielding to superior force, fell back, fighting, towards Krestac, Izzet Bey, Colonel of the Guard, at the head of a battalion of Chasseurs, effected a junction with the four other battalions from Noschdra, and with the advanced guard, commanded by Staff-officer Hus sein Bay, occupied the strong position on the hill. The combat lasted six hours. From 7,000 to 8,000 Montenegrins and 3,000 insurgents took part in it. They attacked the position held by the Turkish troops eight times, but were each time re pulsed.

Flag-officer Foote reports that Island No. 10 surrendered to-day to the Federal gunboats. An important engagement is said to have taken place at Corinth. A Norfolk paper of the 7th inst. contains a de spatch from Mobile, dated the 6th inst., stating that a battle had been fought at Corinth, and that the Confederate captured eight Federal batteries and a large number of prisoners. No Northern account of the fight has yet been received.

The Confederate position is said to be strong, extending two miles in length. The batteries are mounted with heavy guns. The ground in front is low and swampy, which renders it impassable. The Federals commenced an attack with artil lery, which was replied to by the Confederate batteries. The cannonading on both sides was without any inatarial rPstilt. Advices from Fort Monroe state that nothing had yet been done in front of Yorktown.

THE NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING. MONDAY. The Easter holidays are looked forward to with the most intense delight by every individual member of what is termed the lower middle classes as the first turn out of the season. it is a season of smiles and new ribbons—every one seems necessitated to appear painfully well dressed ; even the children are included in the awful rule, and are com pelled to walk about stiff, and starched, and furbelowed, as if they had a pin sticking in every imaginable portion of their bodies. The whole of passion week is consumed by the men in a kind of earnest yet lazy endeavour to get the time over and the work done—by the women in an agony of ex citement. New bonnets, new dresses, new, yes, new crino lines are scrambled for and obtained somehow or the other, and Easter Sunday dawns upon a nation attired in every colour of the rainbow. Everybody must look smart on that day. To some, however, the arrival of Easter has a murk graver import, and to none more than to those who reF,:ard it as a special occasion, because it brings with it thfd Newmarket meeting. The Newmarket meeting is emphatically a busi ness meeting. People go down to Epsom Spring racing to enjoy themselves, it is a metropolitan holiday-making. But this is a far different and far more important affair, inas much as it is in fact the turning point of the racing season —the termination of one year and the active commencement of another, when accounts have to be settled for the old term, and arrangements practically made for the new. Had holiday folk selected Newmarket as the sumo for their special diversion on this Easter Monday, their choice could scarcely have been better made. The weather was warm and genial, and the proceedings on the Heath were interesting without being fatiguing, The card contained eight items, and although the fields were not numerous, the sport was sufficient to amuse the very select company that " assisted" at it. No incident of importance has to be recorded. Agag, the sometime favourite for the Chester Cup, was defeated for a 50 sous sweepstakes ; and. Aldcroft, one of the most accomplished jockeys of the pre— sent day, made a " professional" reappearance after a long and severe illness.

TILE ATTEMPTED MURDER AT DUDLEY. Thursday's Manchester Guardian gave the par' titulars of an attempt made by a quack doctor , named Thomas Read, of Dudley, to murder a young man, named Oliver Newey, by shooting him w ith a pistol, on the night of Tuesday last. He was brought before the Magistrates on Wednesday, when just sufficient evidence was given to justify a re mand. The facts of the case were that the prisoner was provoked by some remarks made by the man Newey, and in revenge he loaded a pair of pistols , and shot him three different times. One of the charges went through his left hand. Fortunately', the other charges missed their mark, and thus pro' bably the life of Newey was saved. Yesterday', Newey, upon being put into the box, stated that about one o'clock on Wednesday morning he Was going home, when he met the prisoner, who we; talking to himself about being a doctor in the army .
