IRISH SYMPATHY WITH THE BENICIA BOY. — Last night a great demonstration by Irishmen in favour of Heenan was made at Hope. hall, Bell-street, • Edgware road. Heenan was accom anied by Macdonald and Cusack. The Irishmen presented Heenan with 30 sovereigns in a purse, and a scroll, for which the American pugilist briefly returned thanks. In the course of the observations made by Caaack, he.said, with a contemptuous allusion to Eng land, that he hoped God would protect the Irish and take them outof this country as soon as possible. Several other speeches, full of compliments and eulogy towards the Irish, were made in the course of the evening, and the proceed ings terminated with three cheers for lleeuan, Mike Mid den, and the other pugilists present, stork Commercial lOO stock Do. 4 per Cent.Pref.Min, 100 stock East and West Indies 13'.‘ veDing Ean l" ; 50110 , generit-• stock 'London I 100 -... stock iSt. liqtliarine...:, 1 100 stock 'Southampton ! 100 -.- stock Victoria . 30 I; o 4it New . ; 2 t •-• THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENINU, MAY 19, 1860.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE DRAWING-ROOM AND THE PICKPOCKETS.--George Barry and John M'Gee were charged before Mr. Beadon with attempting to pick the pockets of several females in St. James's-street. William Gordon, 336 A, said he was on duty the previous afternoon in St,James'-street, and saw WGee put his hand into a female's pocket. There was a large crowd assembled at the time in consequence of her Majesty's drawing-room. He afterwards saw M'Gco make a snatch at a gentleman's watch. Sergeant Joy, 9 C, said MT4ce had been convicted as a thief before and sentenced to three months' imprisonment. Mr. Beadon committed tho prisoners for three months each. William Ellice and William Brady were next charged by Sergeant Cole, '23 C, with attempting to pick the pockets of several females in St. James's-street. Sergeant Cole said he saw the prisoners attempt to pick the pockets of two ladies standing on the steps of Brooke's Club, and, failing in the attempt, they followed them up St. James's-street through the crowd and made a second attempt. On Brady was found a new purse, and in his pocket some loose money. lie knew both the prisoners, and had seen them in the company of thieves. They had been at that court before. Ellice said his only object in being at the place was his anxious desire to see the Queen. Brady said he never harboured such a thought as that of robbing any one. Committed for three months each, with hard labour. George Garrard was next charged with attempt!ng to pick pockets of females in St. James's. - - The case was proved by Gordon, 336 A, and Mr. Richard Cox, of 1, Pinner's-court, Old Broad-street, who said for some time he suspected the detective to be an accomplice. The prisoner pleaded innocence, and said some money found on him was his own. Remanded. TIMID EDITION. SUN OFFICE, seren o'clock. TATIERSALL'S-(THIS EVENING).

AMERICAN 0 UTRAGES IN RATCLIFF-HIGH WAY.—Wm. Barnes, an American seaman, was brought before Mr: Sclkcharged with violently assaulting James Donaldson. The complainant, a Scotchman, said he was a mariner, and belonged to an English ship. Last night he was gently walking along Rateliff-Highway, - when five Americans came up to him and hustled him. One of them kicked him, and before he could recover himself the prisoner struck him a violent blow on the eye with his clenched fist and knocked him down. His eye was severely cut, and a medical man put a surgical plaster over the corner of it. Mr. Selfe—l perceive your eye is injured. Did you give no provocation at all ? Donaldson—None whatever, sir. Robert Ityves, a police-constable, No. 189 11, saw the assault, and confirmed the statement of Donaldson in every paqicular. The witness added, " These outrages among the American seamen are very frequent indeed. They come on sh re 30 and 40 at a time, go about in bands and ill-use people with impunity. Last Monday night,' 30 Americans attacked people indiscriminately in the neigh bourhood of Ratcliff-highway, and we had a good deal of trouble to disperse them." The prisoner said he was drunk last night. He did not know what he did. He came hero in the ship Oakum, from Barbadoes, and had recently joined the Plymouth Rook, an American ship, and was going out to sea in her. Mr. Selfe—l shall not allow this. You and your ship mates assail an inoffensive man, you knock him down and cut his eye open. I fine you 405., and in default of pay ment, three weeks' imprisonment. IRELAND. DUBLIN, FRIDAY. THE FOREIGN ENLISTMENT ACT. Recruiting is going on briskly in the south of Ireland. Mallow and Killarney seem to be the chief places for the live stock which now form so large a portion of the exports of.ireland. A Cork paper of yesterday says : "An awkward squad of raw recruits, who by their ap • pearance and conformation appeared better adapted for tailors or shoemakers than for soldiers, came by train from Mallow to Cork on Tuesday aad yesterday. It is stated that the son of a well-know,: solicitor in the West Riding has obtained a commission in hii; Holiness's army. A gen tleman named Sullivan is also stared to have obtained a commission." Referring to the proclamation, Dr. Cullen's official organ., the Morning News, is instructed to say : " We know what all this means, and what we think of it all may be told in a few words. The only effect of this pro clamation will be to proclaim to Europe what the British Government would fain do if it only could. That Irishmen are going to Rome is, indeed, true ; and that those who may settle there may be found, arms in hand, defending the Pope should he be attacked, is no doubt probable. But it is not true that any one is violating the enactment which is dragged from the dust of half a century and flourished in our faces. What is being done is not being done secretly. So ample and implicit is the reliance of those who know them best that Irishmen would, of their own free resolve, act as becomes brave men and true friends of justice, liberty, and • right in any land in which they might be found, that the ardent desire of our countrymen to emigrate to Rome is encouraged by all who wish well to the peace, happiness, freedom, and prosperity of Italy; no 'engage ment,' no 'retaining,' no stipulation, no v:olation of any law being necessary, and none being attempted. This is a movement which no vroclamation' will prevent—unless, indeed, one from the Pontiff-King, whose peril has called forth such a glorious spectacle of fidelity and devotion. We counsel, and have for weeks backs been counselling, compliance with the laws which regulate emigration. We wish to see laws worthy of being obeyed, and not only cheerfully obeyed, but honestly and impartially adminis tered. We have no fear that the noble zeal which Catholic Ireland has shown in support of the cause of justice, of liberty, of loyalty, and of religion, will fail or faker before this shabby attempt to wrest the law against ' foreign enlist ment' to the ad vantage of invaders, annexers, assassins, and pirates." EMIGRATION. The Cork Constitution of yesterday thus re• marks : "Two river steamers left this city yesterday for Queens town, crowded with persons who intend leaving for Ame rica by the screw steamships Glasgow and Nova Scotian, the former cf which sails from this Dort to-day for New York and the latter for Quebec. They were mostly from the Queen's county and Kerry, and the great majority were young people. On being asked their reason for leaving the country they replied that there were no opportunities for young persons of the farming class to get on-here, and they considered it their best course to go away to a place where land was cheap and easily got." AN OAK SHIVERED BY LIGHTEING. The rector of Holy well, St. Ives, communicates the following facts, which may be interesting to many of our readers : —This evening, the 17th inst., abo u t fi ve o ' c l oc k , d ar k c louds coveling the heavens, I perceived in the southern horizon a red dish mist, which seemed like the smoke and glare of au extensive tire. I got up to the window to look at it more attentively, when I saw it extending along the horizon eastward and westward, so as to prove that it did not originate from any cause on the earth; but the great singularity of its appearance seemed to indicate some approaching atmospheric convulsion. Almost immediately a thunderstorm burst forth of more than usual se verity, accompanied with heavy rain. The inter vals between the flash and the report were so instan taneous as to prove that the " Clouds with heaven's artillery fraught" were immediately over our heads, and, after one tremendous peal, the mighty power of the hand that hurls the bolt was exhibited in a result that no bat teries of human skill, if they were opened at once on the object, and were to strike simultaneously the spot smitten by the thunderbolt, could possibly—l will not say have effected, but have even approached in terrific power. A few hundred yards from my residence, in a farmer's field, stood an oak of about 40 feet in height and 10 in circumference, perfectly vigorous and sound, just putting forth its leaves. The thunderbolt struck it about 15 feet from the ground. It was broken about two-thirds off, and the top of the tree fell to the earth clinging to the stem by the und:vided fibres. perfectly as human labour co u ld have The tree was barked nearly from the top to the r About one-fourth part o f th e s t an di ng cleft clean out to th e s!cry root, and flung on e the it. ground on the side opp os it e t o th a t on w hi c h the top was had fallen ; the remainder of the sta n di ng strippedstrunk as w a s cleft in four or five places,so that the hand could be thrust into some parts and the fingers into others. The whole heart of the tree was literally torn into thousands of splinters, and fibres from the spot where the bolt struck it down to the very root of the tree, the splinters, of various degrees of thick ness, from a small cord to a rope, in shape fiat or round, some erect, others tapering to a thread, hang ing like willows in pendulous disorder through the c h a sm left by the part of the stem cleft out. The balk and pieces that seemedtorn from the st emof the broken top were flung in various distances into the field. One piece that was not less, I should think, than 2 cwt , was thrown to a distance of 36 feet, and one not nearly so largo to a distance of 63, while the bark and other fragments of the tree lay scattered at various distances, It is impossible to behold it without being impressed with the impo tence of man, and without being forced to feel and confess the arm of God Himself is here. If such be the blow inflicted by one of His messengers, what shall it be when He comes Ithuself to judgment? THE CHANCELLORSHIP OF THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH.—Tho Scotsman of yesterday states that the Chancellor of the University arrived at Edinburgh last night from Brougham Hal!, by the Caledonian train, at 840 p.m. Lord Brougham is the guest of the Lord Pro vost during his very brief stay. Bis lordship was to have brought with him his venerable friend, Lord Glenelg, a distinguished student of our university, who, however, is unfortunately so much indisposed as to be unable to tra vel. At the installation of Lord Brougham as Chancellor of the University, the degree of LL.D. will be conferred on the following gentlemen :—The Lord Justice General, Dr. Reeves, front Ireland; Dr. Stokes, Trinity College, Dub lin; Dr. Sharpey, of London; Professor Miller, oeLondon ; of o7 a ti n c e k h e e ts st h er a ; s been very great, Mr. John Forster, h oWndiollnia.ralFhaeqirndbeaman,d f COVENT GARDEN.

" Beacon," of Bell's Life, says, " Having thus summed up the pretensions of every likely candi date, I pass by—some ihat reluctantly I admit— the pretensions of Umpire, and give preference to THE WIZARD ; next to whom I shall expect to see THORMANBY and HIGH TREASON ; but should the race be des tined to fall to an outsider, BUCCANEER or HORROR may achieve the distinction. " Touchstone," of the Era, sums up his remarks by anticipating the horses to be placed in the fol lowing order:— UMPIRE HORROR THORMANBY " The Stable Mouse " of the Era says the race is confined to about five, and these are Wizard, Um pire, Thormanby, Horror, and Nutbourne. If the winner is not amongst these I shall despair of ever picking out a winner again. I don't despair, how ever, of picking out the winner this time, and I shall go for a single horse. There is never any beating about the bush with your little Mouse ; no " cockboats" and weakness of that sort. Oh, dear, no. I stand or fall upon one alone, for I am a courageous Mouse; in fact, between you and me, my friends call me Tom Sayers. And what do you think is the reason ? I think it is because I so often make" a hit." Perhaps some of your readers may exclaim at that, " Oh, horrible !" Well, let them, and in my Derby squeak I'll cry in answer, HORN.° R ; and that cry of horror shall indicate my ginner of the Derby of 1860. " Observer," of the Field, concludes his letter with the following remarks :—" I lean towards the two favouritc3, whose claims are unquestionable and, believing the American horse to be the stoutest of the pair, I expect to find the New World defeat the Old, and see the winner of the Derby in NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

SCOTCH BANKING.—The 30th annual report pre sented to the shareholders in the Union Bank of Scotland states that the net profit for the 12 months ending April 20, after providing as usual for bad and doubtful debts, &c., amounts to £110,768. Out of this sum a dividend has been declared at the rate of 9 per cent. on the paid-up capital of £1,000,000, leaving the rest or undivided profit account of £200,000. BALLOON ASCENT.—A most successful ascent, the first of the season, took place yesterday, by Mr. Cox well and two friends, from the Royal Surrey-gardens, in honour of the Queen's birthday. Owing to the density of the atmosphere and the absence of wind, the balloon re mained visible longer than usual, taking a north-easterly direction. The unfavourable state of the weather prevented much promenading in the delightful gardens, which, under the management of Messrs. Bishop an Caldwell, have been most extensively improved. The spacious music-hall, how ever, with the attraction of the African Opera Troupe and ballet, afforded the visitors ample shelter and amusement. EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF MERCHANDISE IN LITEAPOOL —During a discussion which took place at the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board yesterday, arising from an inquiry by one of the members if the board could not appropriate some of the transit sheds for the storage of goods, it was stated that there was at - the present time in Liverpool an unprecedented quantity of merchandise, and that for cotton, of which there was nearly 1,000,000 bales in warehouses, with the prospect of large arrivals, ld., lid., and lid. per week for every bale wee being charged for storage. Iklr. Hubback, chairman of the Docks and Quays Committee, said the matter would be taken into considera tion at the next meeting of the committee. DARING ROBBERY.—At the New Bailey, Sal ford on Saturday, two men, named Wood and Molyneux, werd charge t with one of the most daring robberies which has ever been perpetrated in the annals of modern crime. A. lady was walking at two o'clock on Saturday afternoon on the public road in Chorlton-cum-Hardy. She was fol lowed by the men, and on coming to a place comparatively lonely, Wood, who is partially blind, seized the lady by the throat, whilst Molyneux robbed her of everything he could snatch from her. Fortunately the lady's scream was heard, and both prisoners were captured by people who shortly came to the spot. The men are remanded till Friday, FOREIGN MINES. Australian Bon Accord Copper,Lim.

UMPIRE, with THE WIZARD as bii bottle-holder. For a coekboat I select ltEsTEs." And another correspondent, signing himself " Yorkshircrnan," says :—" Buccaneer I won't stand, solely on account of the dark operations in the Guineas. The Wizard is unsuited to this up hill course, and his day is not yet come. Umpire and St. Albans I discard vntirely, in the face of the great talk of their friends. ' Well,' say your readers, what is it, when all the favourites are thrown out ?' Here it is then. TIIORMANBY for the winner of the great prize; and for second and third I take Nutbourne and Lupellus, who will be found a better horse than he has ever shown." " Linkboy," of the Sunday Times, fell asleep, but he does not say where, and dreamt the follow ing :—" Amidst the cold wind and cutting rain of Friday our Derby day-dream was somewhat troubled. We dreamt of Linkboy,' and all that he said, and we could see nothing in our mind's eye to startle us from our propriety. Amongst the starters we thought we saw the following : The Wizard. French. Tom Bowline The Rap Cape Flyaway Umpire Thormanby Brother to Rainbow Nutbourne Creswell. Buccaneer (doubtful)... High Treason Horror Sutton Restes Cramond .. . Sir William Upperband Traducer Confectioner Wallace Lanchcster Thunderbolt Richmond W. Boyce. That the best of John Scott's will win, we are thoroughly prepared to see, but that best might be something else than The Wizard—perhaps Tom Bowline. If High Treason and Confectioner do not get a place, we shall be much disappointed. " Brevity" of the Weekly Times sums up his remarks as follows :—" The Wizard has done such good work since the Two Thousand that, although he beat nothing like a Derby horse, J. Scott must be set down as very dangerous with him, for I must confess he has never been extended whenever he won, and it being an undoubted fact he is the Simon Pure of the Whitewall stable, such a beautiful specimen of horseflesh shall not find me against him, especially while Buccaneer is so very " fishy" in the market, as we lose one of the best public per formers in the race if he cannot come up to time. There is still one, however, The Wizard will have all his work to do to live with, in Umpire, who is my sole representative, now that the market will not admit of my sticking to the Buccaneer, and in standing upon one horse only it is to be hoped your readers will not find me far out." " Scrutineer" of the eporting lelegraph writes: —The Mallon folks consider it a certainty for one of their horses to win, and I am inclined to think they will not be far out in their expectations. Hav ing expressed my ideas on the principle horses en gaged for this valuable stake, I come to the follow ing conclusion, viz , that the winner will be The Wizard or Nutbourne, and for outsiders, commend me to poor Tum Bowline and Horror. If your readers back the latter two for places, as well as to win, I think they will prove profitable investments, and they will not regret taking your humble ser ♦ant's advice. " Sentinel," of the Sporting Life, says their will be about 26 starters, and he concludes his prophecy by stating that he has every confidence in NUTBOURNE, who is a strong-built horse, has never been ‘i sick or sorry" for a day, and who, I believe, taken alto• gether, is a horse exactly suited for a severe race, and for choice I should certainly prefer his chance in heavy ground. If he should be beaten I think it will be by UMPIRE or the BEST OF JOHN SCOTT'S LOT. The prophecies of the morning papers will not be given till Monday; but there is no doubt what " Argus" of the Morning Post will give. He is mad about Umpire and the Wizard, and if we couple them with Thormanby, we will not be far out. " Meteor," of the Daily News, has always spoken favourably of the above three, but his first fancy was The Wizard and Buccaneer. "Augur," of the Morning Advertiser, is almost certain to go for the Wizard and Umpire. THE GARIBALDI EXPEDITION.—MR. WYLD.— From the speeches of some of the Irish members in the House of Commons last night a stranger might have come to the conclusion that England—the land of the brave, the land of the free—was to be made to suit their theories, the extinguisher of all liberty elsewhere. According to the arguments .of the hon. gentlemen, it must be perfectly illegal for us to aid a brave and noble patriot who is struggling for his rights and liberties, or for those of the land that gave him birth, but that any despot whose cruelties and enormities cry aloud to the skies for justice may, as a friendly Power, contract loans of English capitalists, and grind their down-trodden and miserable subjects to the dust to repay then—nay, actually send agents into this country and eq ui p expeditions to o en forcetorestihsteitrhteyir ran io n t i o c i a c l ra ru h lf o , t a 3 n r d au sh u o y o . t like dogs o douir i s y a t l h l who ro g d h a l r y e u English speech of the debate was that of Mr. Wyld, whose utterances were truly refreshing to all who detest tyranny and slavery wherever they tmay be found.- 7 -Advertiser. AN UNHEALTHY APRIL.—The Registrar-General for Scotland, who issues a monthly report in respect of the eight principal Scotch towns, has already published bis report for April, but the chief thing he has to say ofiti unfavourable. He registered the deaths of 2,4537 persons out of a I opulation estimated at 90,146—the largest num ber of deaths he ever registered in April, and 612 more than in April, 1859. He attributes this to the low mean temperature (42 . 1 deg.), the very high daily range, amount ing on the mean to 16 deg. ; the dryn ess o f t h e a i r, t h e prevalence of the kean arid east wind, and the small fall of rain, which was only about a third of the usual amount. It was his lot in the month to record in his d ea th-b oo k th e name of a person whom , with characteristic caution or national pride, he only designates as " perhaps " the oldest inhabitant of Scotland—an old soldier, for some years re ceiving parochial aid, who was born in Lairg, Sutherland, and died at Perth, at the extrem e age o f 107. The accounts with regard to the coming silk crop in Europe contiuue favourable, but it is yet too early to form any strong opinion. THE GUNBOATS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SIIN. Sir,----Messrs. Green, of Blackwall, in a letter dated the 14th of May, have made charges against the Admiralty Board of which I was the senior naval member at the time the gunb9ats were built by their firm, and now found to be very de fective, as well as fastened with bolts of an insuffi cient length. I shall endeavour to obtain the fol lowing returns, in order to show that the charges and complaints in the letter of Messrs. Green are totally unfounded :- 1. The contract entered into with Messrs. Green for building these vessels. 2. For any document in office or correspondence on the subject of unseasoned timber, and of the ina bility of Messrs. Green to procure seasoned timber. 3. The report from Malta of the state of the Co quette, built by Messrs. Green, stating whether that vessel had ever been hauled up at Haslar or elsewhere. 4. The report from Portsmouth-yard on the state of the Caroline, built by Messrs. Green. S. The number of inspectors appointed by the Board of Admiralty attached to the building-yard of Messrs, Green during the building of the gun boats. 6. The means adopted for the preservation of the vessels hauled up at liaslar, as directed in January, 1857. With respect to the statement made by Messrs. Green, that they were not allowed longer time to build the gunboats, I \ can only observe that they were called on to tender and they named their own time. With respect to being threatened with legal pro ceedings, which compelled them to hire a large number of strange shipwrights, legal proceedings were threatened, because the A imiralty discovered that Messrs. Green were neglecting their contract and employing their shipwrights on two vessels for the Brazilian Government in preference to the gunboats. • I will unclude by asking Messrs. Green whether Lloyd's require that the bolts in the bottoms of ships should be properly clinched.—Yours most obediently, M. F. F. BERKELEY. 32, Lowndes-square, May 13. THE EARLY CLOSING NO VENE T. Mr. Alfred le Measurer, of Ludgate-hill, has addressed the following very sensible letter to the Editor of the Times : Lords Grosvenor and Elcho are pressing on us London shopkeepers the propriety of closing our shops at two p.m. on Saturdays, in order that our young men may have more time to devote to drill. A shopkeeper's time is his money. Thtse noble lords are, therefore, pressing us London shop keepers to contribute more largely than we have hitherto done to the Volunteer movement.. They are going to convoke a public meeting early in June for the furtherance of their object. Now, sir, I entirely deprecate pressure of this kind being thus unfairly imposed on any particular class of her 'Majesty's subjects. What would Lords Eleho and Grosvenor think or say if I, a first-class haberdasher, were to give notice of a public meeting for the purpose of invit ing the nobility and gentry of London to abandon all Saturday drives, dinner parties, and routs, in order that their cooks and footmen might be massed into and manceuvrcd as rifle corps, while their grooms and coachmen, mounted on their saddle and carriage horses, protected their flanks with a volunteer cavalry such as no other capital city in the world could turn out ? how aptly would Lord Elcho's eloquent and touching words, " that it would be of the utmost iibportance to the moral and physical wellbeing of the young men engaged in these menial occupa tions that they should be enabled to avail them selves of opportunities of healthy exercise alike in vigorating to mind and body," apply to these over fed men and horses ! What an astonishing giantry Belgravia and St. James's alone could contribute, and that at a far less sacrifice to individuals than what is now claimed from us! Let the noble lords who arc asking so much of the shopkecping class tell us why a little more should not be required from themselves, and I have no doubt, if their an swer be satisfactory, that their projected public meeting will have a great success. I trust to your impartiality to afford to these brief observations of mine the same advantages of type and position which you have conceded to the letters of Lords Eleho and Grosvenor. TILE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. The present position of the Presidential question in the United Statis is thus estimated in the New ork Herald:— " The indications are now pretty strong that there will be four candidates in the field for the Presidential succession, representing the Northern, or Squatter Sovereignty, Democracy; the Southern, or Slavery Protection, Democracy ; the National Union party; and the Black Republican organisa tion ; in which event the election may be carried to the House of Representatives, under the Constitu tion, by neither of the candidates being able to ob tain a majority of all the votes which will be cast by the Electoral College. The whole number of electors, including Kansas, will be 306, and, to se cure an election, one of the candidates must receive 154 votes, without which the three highest must go to the house, where the vote will be taken by States, each State having but one vote. The political complexion of the house, including Kansas, which, if admitted at the present session, will have her representative there in time to vote in Decem ber, will be as follows : . 17 . 14 Republican Democratic Divided The thr,se St ttes which are divided are Maryland, Kentucky, and North Carolina, the delegations from which are composed of an equal number of Demo ts and National Unionists. They would thus be unable to cast their votes in the election of a Presi dent. This depreciation, however, would not add to the chances of the election of a Republican, be cause the Constitution does not say that a Pre:iident may be chosen in receiving a majority of the States voting, but to securing an election the candidates must obtain a majority of all the States represented, and a majority, with the addition of Kansas, would require 18. s it appears very plain that, under the existing state of political divisions in the house, that body will not be able to agree upon a candi date before the 4th of March, 1861, when the pre sent Congress ceases to exist. If the Electoral Col lege cannot elect a President, it will, of course, be unable to choose a Vice-President, and the duty of selecting that officer will devolve upon the Senate. Differing a little in the number of the Presidential candidates which go before the house, the Constitu , tion allows but two candidates for the vice-presi dency to go to the Senate, and these must be the two who have received the highest number of votes from the electors; and also differing in the manner of electing, it is provided that each senator shall vote for himself, and a majority of all the votes cast shall decide the election. When the 4th day of March arrives, and no chief magistrate having been chosen either by the electors or the House of Re presentatives, ' then the Vice• President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.' " ia eAltniahatregye felterSne Mr. Henry Burnand, of Lloyd's, has been ap pointed superintendent of the underwriting department to the Thames and Mersey Marine Insurance Company, at a salary of £5,000 a year. was s O p x a fo tr r o d n o is n ed T t h y ur a s b d o a i y it ag o ACCIDENT AT MR.

Sheriffni e t o , ,a , the d en P , r the Stevens,s sof the city and neighbourhood. The first animal in troduced was a two-year old thorough bred filly, about 14 hands, the property of Mr. Cowper, a breeder of horses, at Farnborough-hill, near Banbury, and was described as being of a rnost vicious and savage nature. On being brought into the ring the animal seemed at first to be in a better temper, and Mr Rarey commenced operations. Suddenly, from some unexplainable cause, the animal dashed. away amongst the spectators, dragging Mr. Rarey with him. Three front rows cf seats in the half-crown places were broken, and upwards of thirty occupants were unseated. Most of them, we are glad to say, were more frightened than hurt. One lady was obliged to be taken home in a fly, and three young men were also rather injured. Mr. Rarey showed the most determined resistance to the animal, and by his courage and strength succeeded in restraining it from doing further mischief, and with the aid of his two assistants the colt was secured. This is the first time that Mr. Rarey has ever had an accident while operating on vicious horses, although he has had to contend against horses of double weight and strength. He admitted that he had seldom met with a colt which showed so much de termination. The attendance on Friday was considerable, and included his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and suite, Dr. and Mrs. Liddell, Earl Brownlow, &c.
