It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." lie tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. Ile then bought some of Thorley's food ; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which sarried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interc•ted in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free.

Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequerces' may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

THE LATE MR. HENRY TFA.RBURTON, F.R.S. The death of Mr. Warburton ox Thursday last in Cadogan-place, in the 74th year of his age, is an other loss of an eminent and useful public man of our times—of a class of older men which will be soon chronicled as a bygone generation. Mr. Warburton was the son of a merchant of the city of London, and was formerly himself a Baltic merchant, largely engaged in the timber trade. His natural talent induced his parents to spare no cost in the education of a promisino. son. Henry War burton was an Etonian. He left Eton late, entering Trinity College, Cambridge. Excelling in mathematics, as well as in classics, he became a scholar and a wrangler. Nor was his education and self-education limited to the ordinary acquire ments obtained by the general run of students in our Universities. His love of excellence or desire of distinction and intellectual superiority influenced the future development of his character. After he left Trinity he engaged in commercial parsuits. He devoted all his leisure hours to the acquire ment of knowledge, and, never marrying, a more intense lover of books, from his earliest to his last years, has seldom existed. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society, and a member of most of the learned societies of the metropolis. He was one of the earliest and principal aids of Lord Brougham in the foundation of a London Uni versity, and he was a member of the Senate when the first and second Colleges were incorporated. Political economy was his special study, in what was termed half a century since the school of Adam Smith. His hereditary political creed was that of a Liberal, a " Whig and something more," but till middle life he took no part in politics. Of retiring habits, and with a certain physical timidity, the ' City platform had no attraction for a man of superior education and tastes. In fact, he entered the House of Commons, in 1826, as one of the mem bers for Bridport, almost an unknown man. The late James Mill, father of Mr. John Mill, was his chief political instructor. With David Ricardo, C. P. Thomson (Lord Sydenham), Mr. Hyde Villiers, the elder deceased brother of Lord Clarendon, Mr. Warburton usually acted when first in Parliament. He immediately attached himself to the small mi nority voting in Mr. Hume's early divisions, Lord Althorp and Sir Henry Parnell supporting the same phalanx of Reformers. Mr. Warburton's first Parliamentary essay. was the prosecution of a reform of the Royal College of Surgeons. He was persistent and persevering in his endeavours to " open" the body of that corporation and to reform its abuses. The following year, widen ing his object, he obtained a select committee on the laws affecting anatomical studies in particu lar. Popular prejudice was much excited, and for three years remedial legislation was obstructed. But though failing in his Bill of 1828 to legalise and regulate the supply of subjects for our schools of anatomy—the bill passing the Commons, but being rejected by the Lords—Mr. Warburton in 1831 eventually succeeded in passing a most useful Act. He always said that Ultra-Radicals and the ignorant and' pauper members were his real op ponents. The late Mr. Henry Hunt in particular used to describe Mr. Warburton as a man monster. In 1834 he also obtained a select committee to in quire into the various branches of the medical pro fession. His next legislative subject was an attack on the game laws as they then existed. His pithy and statistical speeches on this, as well as on all his personal political questions in Parliament, always gained " the ear of the House." In a remarkable illustration at this period he once denounced the old law :—" I have read," he said, " in Marina's account of the Tonga islands, that there the rats were preserved as game, and, though everybody might eat rats, nobody was allowed to kill them but somebody , descended from their gods or their kings. This is the only country and the only case I know of which furnishes anything like a parallel to our game laws." But no man was a more deter mined sportsman ;he was an. excellent shot ;" few men more ardent or successful in field sports, espe cially fishing.. On the Combination and Machinery Laws, Select Committees, and legislation before the Reform agi tation Mr. Warburton was the active ally of Mr. Joseph Hume and Francis Place. His constant attendance in committees and his unwearying stay in the House of Commons' sittings was remarkable. In the " smallest minorities" of Hume Mr. War burton was usually seconder of the veteran Re former, or always one of the number dividing. A. more indefatigable or practical member of a Legis lature never represented the interest of the public. In 1831 and 1832, adhering to Lord Althorp, Mr. Warburton exercised great personal influence. He was justly respected in the Lower House as the head of the class of advanced Reformers. In and out of Parliament he advocated the creed, that " something was better than nothing." He coun selled, throughout the exciting period of the Reform agitation, a firm adhesion to the Whig Ministry and measures of the late Earl Grey ; and, in the memorable few days of May, 1832, he contributed much to induce the more violent Radicals to accept the Reform Bill with the discount exacted in its passage through the two Houses of Parliament. We well recollect, also, that he deprecated all oppo sition to the subsequent but accompanying Boun dary Bills, as matter of secondary moment com pared with the earliest possible Royal assent to the more important general. Acts of the reform of our representative system. We need not chronicle his labours on the beer bills, free trade, the modern plans, of taking the divisions of the Commons , the Oaths Acts, and other bygone legislation. Mr. War burton was an advocate of the Ballot, and on Lord Melbourne's return to office he was spokesman of a deputation of members of Parliament, who stipulated with the Premier for the ballot being " an open question," and for the concession of the Penny Postage. It was Mr. Warburton's influence chiefly with Ministers which placed Mr. Rowland Hill at the head of the new post-office administra tion, by impressing on a new Chancellor of the Ex chequer that the public would never believe in the bona fide working of the measure unless its author had the first conduct of the change. Mr. Warburton continued to represent Bridport in seven successive Parliaments. His last return was in 1841, when after a close and corrupt contest he was at the head of the poll. But a petition being presented against both the sitting members, he sur• rendered his seat, accepting the Chiltern Hundreds. An inquiry following in a select committee on "Cor rupt Comprofiiises" generall, Mr. Warburton, in a, singular petition, prayed tote examined, revealing, in his statement to the House, the gross costs and corruptions of all his six successive returns for Bridport ! This unprecedented course in a repre sentative occasioned much severe comment at the time, and Conservatives chuckled at the strange exhibition of a public man thus exposing himself. But Mr. Warburton, notwithstanding the remonstrances of friends, persisted in giving evidence, by himself and his agents, of the corruption of the freemen electors. Certainly the cause of purity of election gained, if the Purist lost credit. He, of course, never regained his old seat. Years before Mr. Warburton had built, in Bridport, a Mechanics' Institution, at a cost, we believe, of £4,000. After his political suicide at Bridport Mr. War burton remained out of Parliament from the spring of 1841 till November, 1843. On the death of Mr. George William Wood:, the member for Kendal, the constituency of that borough in public meeting selected )Ir. 'Warburton as the most fitting of a dozen public men presented for their choice. We believe he was unknown to a single elector. It was further remarkable that in a prior written statement of his political sentiments he informed them he refused to support any extreme extension of suffrage, or a departmental division of the kingdom into electoral districts, avowing his unalterable convic tien that the town communities were the centre of Liberalism, and objecting to a mathematical system of representation founded exclusively on numbers or property. Neverthless, and although his rival candidates bid higher, Mr. Warburton was pre ferred. He represented Kendal till the dissolution of July, 1847, when he was succeeded by Mr. Glyn, the present member. Mr. Warburton voluntarily retired from public life at that time, telling his friends that he was advanced in years ; and that all the great political questions of his generation being ,concluded and successfully carried out, his ambition was satiated, and that if he continued longer in Parliament he should be " a fish out of water." In this record of an useful practical public man, we do not mean to rate Mr. Warburton beyond his true merits, much less to place him in the first class of :political wranglers. He had no capacity for the leadership of numbers. It has been written of him that he could " argue" a question, but not de claim upon it. He possessed no popular talents, in the ordinary sense, he had no imagination, no powers of eloquence. His speeches were colloquial, not oratorical. His manner was rather repulsive than attractive, and he was too apt to be dogmati cal if not offensive in controversy. He had no po litical toleration, and he could not conceal - his con tempt of a weak opponent. Such severe minds, however, are necessary ingredients in the political crucible. On the poor-law discussions he was, as a pure Malthusian, the severest of the severe. He would have risked a revolt of human nature rather than deal with a man as he is. He would have immolated any number of victims at the shrine of the public interest unmercifully. His argument, for instance, on the national copyright question was stated really to amount to this—that it was cheaper to steal books than to buy them. It was sensibly replied to him that, leaving the morality out of the question, thieving was, in the main, a much dearer process. Mr. Warburton was a member of the Athenoeum, University, Brooks's, the Reform, and Political Economy Clubs. Few men, till his later years, " mixed more in society." n private life his character and integrity were universally respected, and even his political opponents often advised with him on neutral and social questions. SPORTING NOTES. LEICESTER, AND MONMOUTH. Journalists are evidently hard-up for " taking" subjects at this dull period of the year, or they would not have seized with so much avidity upon the simple fact of Lord Derby's selling his racing stud, and attempt, with much ingenuity, to turn the circumstance into a political sitrnificance. The Record used the supposed retirement of Lord Derby from the turf as a peg on which to han g a homily on horse racing and racing men, and o-day the Times and the Daily News come out with two leaders remarkable for nothing but their shallowness. It is attempted to prove that the sale of Lord Derby's horses at Doncaster was merely a delusion and a snare, and the Times does not hesitate to insinuate that the more valuable horses were merely put up to draw buyers together, in order that the worthless ones alone might be dispoed of. It blames Lord Derby because he did not allow animals to be sold at a rate far below their marketable value. If the Times' argument holds good, a baker who did not take fourpence for a six penny loaf would be liable to the charge of vending articles which he did not intend to sell. Every animal which was " put up" at Doncaster would have been disposed of if a fair price could have been obtained. The doings at Doncaster have been so fully dis cussed that I have really very little to add to the elaborate accounts of the meeting with which all the papers have been filled. All persons are agreed that a meeting of surpassing success was celebrated, and that the importance which attached to the pro ceedings was almost unprecedented. To turn, therefore, from a subject which by this time must be dull and tedious, I will more profitably employ the reader's time by directing his attention to the sport which is appointed to come off during the current week. Mr. T. Marshall has worked well for Leicester, and has prepared a programme which will be attractive enough to draw together a large assemblage of sports men from the metropolis and the midland districts. Six races will be decided each day, and if the fields be small there will be no paucity of amusements. Border Chief or Slyfellow ought to be quite capable of winning the Belvoir Castle Stakes, and T. P. Cooke should be enabled to gallop off with the Cup. His most formidable antagonist will, perhaps, be Verona. The Leicestershire Handicap seems to my thinking likely to go to either Orchehill or Prince of Denmark. Ardour and Newcastle may make an interesting race of it for the Two-yr,old Stakes, but my liking bears towards the son of Newminster. For the Ladies' Plate I shall select Winkfield and Apollo. The Welter Handicap has fourteen nominations, the most attractive of which appear to be Bel Es peranza and Gourd. Could I calculate upon a start I should be induced to stand Lizzie and Polly Johnson for the Scurry Plate. For the Nursery, Contract and Broadbrim are as mtich entitled to notice as anything in the race. The Monmouth Meeting will be too much out of the way to attract the attention of the' Londoners," but it will afford two days' pleasant diversion to the people of the locality. Chanionesse may win the Monmouthshire Handicap, Loyalty the Ladies' Plate, and Table Bay the County Members' Plate. On Thursday I will refer to the Manchester list • and other matters. A. FRESH. MAN. THE DONCASTER MEETING AND THE SETTLING. Although the Grand Stand receipts fell some £4OO below those of last year, yet a larger assem blage of company was never witnessed on Doncas ter Town Moor. 'The racing, too, was most abundant, and the interest which it excited was sustained from the first day to the last. Before referring to the incide•ts which marked the sport, it will be necessary to direct attention to certain details of the management which were neglected by the borough authorities, and to a clumsiness in carry ing out the arrangements, which was a source of annoyance to the chief patrons of the meeting, and which excited the disapprobation of the general racing public. The Corporation very laudably endeavoured to prevent the occurrence of those dis graceful scenes of riot for which Doncaster has of late years become notorious, and which made the proceedings on the racecourse approximate closely to those of a bear garden or prize ring. But the wrong means were adopted. People who pay for admission to the Grand Stand demand perfect equality, and a freedom to range over the building or enclosure. They do not recognise the principle of exclusion, and as long as they arc willing to pay their money they do not see why one section of the community should have the entree to a place which to them is tabooed ground. The attempt, therefore, to rail off the Private Stand from the enclosure was a mistake, as it divided the " ring," and retarded the business of speculation. Backers and layers equally felt the grievance, and the authorities exercised a wise discretion when on the second day they removed the obnoxious barrier. Had they not done so, it would have been taken down by main force. If the managers of the racing meeting wish to keep the enclosure select, they must adopt a different plan in issuing tickets of admission to the Stand ; for on Thursday and Friday, weekly tickets which had cost a guinea were openly hawked about the streets Tor a few shillings, and thus got into the possession of " roughs," and other disreputable characters. The allowing of a " tap" for the sale of wines and spirits to be erected in the weighing room was an egregious mistake, for as it has been well observed, that apartment, is the last place into which liquors should be intro duced. The room should always be kept free from intruders ; but on this occasion it was to the great obstruction of business filled with persons who had no right there, and who used the place merely as a drinking shop. While on this subject, the exorbi tant prices which were charged for refreshments at the Grand Stand must not be unnoticed. Eighteen pence for soda and brandy, and one shilling for a small plate of sandwiches, were demands to which even racing men are unaccustomed. The corpora tion will do well to direct their attention to this matter for the future, for a well-regulated refresh ment department is a most , essential element in the successful issue of any meeting. The mode of issu ing trainers' and jockeys' tickets was also unsatis factory, and was productive of much grumbling and annoyance. The Mayor of Doncaster, Mr. George Hatfield, exerted himself to counteract any short comings which the management displayed, and was ever solicitous to meet the requirements of the public. He therefore will adopt expedients to re medy the evils of which we have complained. The work of improvement which he commenced with so much spirit will, we trust, be carried out during a second year of his mayoralty. The saddling enclo sure must be extended, and it should be devoted exclusively to trainers, owners of horses, jockeys, and grooms. It should be railed off below the weighing stand, in communication with which it should have a gateway or passage, under the charge of an efficient person. Still, although there was much to find fault with in the management, there was much to admire and approve in the proceedings. The two-year-old races were most interesting, although the absence of any prominent Derby bandidate somewhat detracted from their importance. The handicap events were productive of brisk speculation, and certain sudden changes in the Turf Market invested the St. Leger with an interest which a few months back it did not promise to attain. The programme originally con tained 33 items, and of these 30 were run off, the aggregate number of starters commanded for the different stakes being two hundred and sixty seven. The money added by the corporation, &c., amounted to upwards of two thousand guineas. The result of one race so depended upon another that the curiosity and interest of the spectators were never allowed to flag. Thus the opening event — The Fitzwilliam Stakes—exercised a material in fluence on the St. Leger betting. Knight of Kars ran Saunterer to a head for it, and he IN as immedi ately afterwards brought with force into the St. Leger betting, and his performance caused him to be transferred to Lord Clifden for two thousand pounds. His owner, it must be confessed, made a profitable sale, for that sum only was given by " Mr. S. Williams" for Lord Londesborough's entire stud, in which the Knight of Kars was included. Cavendish and Merrymam, two Derby colts of re pute, were cut down by Prelude for the Champagne Stakes. The winner, the property of Sir Charles Monck, is trained in private by Sir Charles's stud groom. In this race were Gladiolus and Crafton, two animals which have been mentioned with favour in connection with next year's Derby, but whose performances do not warrant the entertain ing of any . great expectations of their racing career. The American stud, represented by Prioress, gained a triumph. The mare won the principal handicap of the week with the most ridiculous ease, albeit she was scarcely trusted by her owner, whom, it is said, she had three times disappointed in her trials. Her success brought her into a prominent position in the Cesarewitch betting.

The larger proportion of the creditors under £lOO, however, have already accepted this compromise, and have received their money. [ADVERTISEMENT.] - Medicine always aggravates chronic diseases, such as indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, habitual constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver complaints, &c., but Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food in variably cures them in a very short time.

Important caution against the fearful danger of spurious imitations : The Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page "Wood granted an injunction on the 10th March, 1854, against Alfred Hooper Nevill for imitating "Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food.* Admiral Hope and the Othk mission resumed their inquiry Sessions-house, Liverpool. The first witness examined was Captain Arthur Hawkins, who spoke in favour of a harbour of refuge at the Skerrics. • Mr. Graves, shipowner, of Liverpool, and chair man of the Shipowners' Association, thought that harbours of refuge would tend greatly to the pre servation of life and property. The existence of such harbours,would, in his opinion, tend to lower rates of insurance. A harbour of refuge at the ;""^- masters in the American eqnentiv "north about" in the spring of the year, and thus save about 500 miles. He thought, however, that the construction of harbours of refuge should be considered as a nations! rather than a commercial question, and that the shipowners would object to the construc tion of such harbours if they were taxed to bear the expenses of construction. Though useful as secondary ports to call for orders, Mr. Graves did not think that harbours of refuge would make good primary ports for such a purpose. He considered that the leading causes of the loss of life and pro perty at present were an imperfect knowledge of tides and currents, neglect of the men, and a bad look-out. One of the greatest advantages of har bours of refuge would be to avoid the evils arising from collision. Mr. Graves expressed his disap proval of the present system of lights authorised by the Admiralty. Mr. Langton, vice-chairman of the Liverpool Underwriters' Association, thought that though the construction of harbours of refuge was• desirable, they would not, from the lowness of existine , rates, and the mode in which the business of uneerwrit ing was conducted, have any marked or immediate effect upon the rates of insurance. Such harbours should, in his opinion, be constructed and main tained out of the consolidated fund. A harbour at Wick or Aberdeen was very necessary, but Mr. Langton did not think one necessary at the Isle of Man. Mr. A. Corkhill, for many years shipowner and ship agent in connexion with the noith-east coast of Scotland and the Baltic, said that a harbour of refuge was very much required at Wick. Mr. Mandel, shipowner, of Liverpool, and a member of the Mersey Dock Board, though opposed to the payment of a passing49ll, was quite wining. as a shipowner, to pay a usage'toll where his ships derived advantage from a harbour of refuge. In Mr. Monders opinion, the harbours of Carlingford and Waterford might be deepened with advantage ; and a harbour of refuge at Douglas (Isle of Man) would, he thought, be very useful to the shipping engaged in the Liverpool trade. THE FATAL FIRE AT GREENWICH-- SUSPICIOUS DISCLOSURES. Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, Mr. C. J. Carttar, coroner for West Kent, resumed the in quiry at the Globe Tavern, Greenwich, into the circumstances attending the deaths of Isabella Caro line and Eliza Jane, the infant daughters of Mr. R. Roper, corn chandler, of Royal-hill, Greenwich, who were destroyed by a fire which consumed the premises of Mr. Roper early on the morning of Sunday, the 12th inst. After the examination of Mr. Charlesly, a gentleman residing -at 25, Circus, Greenwich, who Merely proved witnessing the fire, the coroner, and the foreman of the jury somewhat abruptly left the room, and were absent so long that the remaining jurymen became very impatient. It appears that in consequence of information received the coroner deemed it necessary to confer privately with the police authorities and Mr. Hodson, of the Kent Fire-office. On his return, The first witness called was a young man named Robert Morris, who stated that he had been in the service of Mr. Roper about eight months. This witness endeavoured to parry the questions put to him by the coroner, when the latter remarked that he was in p .o..session of the whole of the informa tion he was now seeking to elicit from the witness, who had better for his own sake speak. the truth, and not endeavour to screen any person_ The wit ness then deposed that on the Saturday previous to the fire the shop was well filled with, goods, and on that day he bought a quarter of a load of hay, which was placed Ia the shop. On Saturday night wit ness met the servant girl in the Circus. She had something with her, but witness did not see what it was. On the Sunday evening after the fire wit ness went out for a walk, and was met by two young men, named Abbott and Cowell, the latter being Mrs. Roper's brother. They told witness that they had been looking after him, and that if he was asked , any questions he was not to know anything. hliza, Waterfall, a young woman in the service of Mr. Roper, was then urged by the coroner, for her own sake, to speak the truth, and in reply to questions she at first denied having removed pro perty from the premises previous to the fire. A relative of the witness, who was present, now begged of her to speak the truth, and the witness then gave the following evidence :—On the Satur day night before the fire I went to Deptford, by desire of my master, Mr. Roper. I took a writing desk to the house of Mrs. Cowell. who is related to my master. The desk was very heavy, and Mr. Roper told me to cover it up, and not let the boy (the previous witness) know what it was. I recol lect a service of china and a dinner service ; they were removed from Mr. Roper's house to Mrs. Cowell's two or three days before the fire. A tea service was also sent to 'Mrs. Cowell's. I carried some of those elides, and others were packed in large square boxes and sent by the previous wit ness. The articles were removed constantly from Mr. Roper's house during a fortnight previous to the fire. Mr. Roper told witness whilst this was going on not to say anything to any one about the removal of the goods. - - - Mrs. Emily - Cook, of Deptford, sister to Mr. Roper, was then examined, and stated, in reply to the coroner, that she had remained in the room and heard a portion of the previous evidence. She then left the room and went to the house opposite. The Coroner—Whom did you see there ? Witness—l saw Mrs. Cowell, and my brother _ _ Mr. Roper, and his wife. The Coroner—Remember, this is a most im portant inquiry, seriously affecting several persons, and therefore 1 must ask you what conversation took place ? Witness—l have nothing to keep back. I said to my brother, " The evidence at the inquest is of a very unpleasant nature, come and justify your self before your good name is lost." The Coroner—What reply did he make ? Witness—l left to return to this room, and he promised to come, but did not. By the Coroner—l will swear that none of tho goods were removed to my house. Other evidence was elicited of a painfully suspi cious nature, the details of which, in the present stage of the proceedings, we are requested not to make public. After some remarks from the learned coroner it was agreed to adjourn the inquiry, as several other witnesses were required, includinc , Mrs. Cowell, in whose house the goods referred to were deposited, and for whose attendance the coroner issued his warrant. DESTRUCTION OF TWO JrnALING SHIPS IN THE WE. These serious losses in lavis's Straits were made known on Saturday, at Lloyd's, by their agent at Lerwick. The vessels were the barque Heroine, 387 tons register, belonging to the Dundee and Union Whaling Fishing Company ; and the barque Eclipse, 283 tons, one of the fleet of the Peterhead and Lerwick Whale and Seal Fishing Company, and both appeared to have been wrecked at the same time, the crews, numbering nearly 150 indi viduals, experiencing a very narrow escape. Capt. Simpson, master of the Heroine, in his deposition before the Admiralty Receiver of Wrecks at Ler wick, thus details the loss of his ship :—" We sailed from Dundee on the 17th of last March, wad suc ceeded in reaching Davis's Straits in the following month, and commenced fishing in May. We caught one whale, which produced 12 tons o oil and one ton of whalebone. On the 13th of July, when in lat. 75 30, long. 60 30 W., to the southward of the centre of the straits, the ice came down fast, and, finding it closing upon us, we cut a dock in the fast ice for the ship to ride in safety ; but on the fol• lowing day a large quantity of drifting ice came pressing clown on the open side of the dock, soon broke it in, and crushed on to the vessel, so as to ' nip: her in several places, causing her to leak ex tensively. The pumps were set to work, but the crew were unable to keep pace with the leak : in less than an hour therowas 12ft. of watcrin her hold, and soon after she heeled over on her broadside, and quickly disappeared. All hands were fortunate in escaping from the vessel on to the fast ice just as the vessel went dow'n. They remained on the ice till the next day, when they reached several whaling ships, and. their-wants were provided for. The crew, however, lost everything they possessed ; there was not even time to save their clothes. The loss of the Eclipse took place in lat. 70.30 N., long. 60.30 W. on the s ame day (13th July). They had been fishing in Melville Bay, but were unsuccessful in catching whales, and were coming down to the southward when the ice broke in upon a dock where the Eclipse was secured, and occasioned her almost im mediate destruction. The crew reached th e i s in safety, and were picked up by other wh a li ng boa s in 24 hours afterwards. The officers and crew were afterwards shipped on board the Danish schooner Neptunas, of Copenhagen, which reached Lerwick on Monday last. Both ships were fully insured at Lloyd'is." TILE SBA SERVICE IN THE EAST. Among the passengers by the Pera, which ar ' rived at Southampton yesterday with the India mail, were Captain Bown, o f th e Hydaspes, troop steamer, and sonic of the crew o f her Majesty's steamer Cyclops, who were at the bombardment of Jeddah, in the Red Sea. Capt. Bown commanded the European and American Company's steamer Hydaspes, which took out troops to India a twelve month ago. After she left St. Vincent a rumour was extensively circulated in England that she was lost. Near the Mauritius Captain Bown fell down the saloon stairs, and he was found lying in a pool of blood and insensible. He was landed at the Mauritius, apparently in a dying state. His friends in England never heard from him for two or three months. The next, news was that the Ifydaspes had passed the' Mauritius on her homeward voyage, and that Captain Bown wished to bring his ship home, but that his medical man did not consider he was sufficiently recovered to do so. The cap tain therefore came home by way of the Red Sea and Egypt, and arrived at Southampton just as the arrival of the Hydaspes in the port of London was announced. The . portion of the crew of the Cyclops who came home in the Pera are invalids. The climate for sailors in the Red Sea is frightful, espe cially for men in the engine _department. The thermometer under - awning on the deck was at times at 130. At night they often slept under heavy dews. To •be cool, firemen went almost naked, and within a minute after they were on duty at the fiers streams of perspiration ran from them. Their joints chafed and became raw, and they experienced great suffering. One poor fellow, a fireman of the Cyclops, who came home in the Pera, quite a young man, had appa ren tly an incurable asthma, The Cyclops men stated that the bombardment of Jeddah would have been more severe but that there was a scant supply of ammu nition on board. There was no possibility- of getting more, except by going to Aden• for it. There was only sufficient ammunition coa board to frighten the authorities into executing the ringleaders of the massacre. The Cyclops could not get near the town, but the ball and shell practice on board, during the bombardment,was exceedingly good. A shell dropped in amongst about 500 menacing Arabs on the beach, and did great execution amongst them. The cul prits condemned to be executed in the presence of the English for the massacre were brought out on a reef between the Cyclops and the town. Their sentence was to be beheaded. The first who suf fered death admitted that he was a ringleader in the massacre. All of them had their arms pinioned and there was an opinion that a few were innocent of the crimes for which they suffered. The decapi tation of the first was effected very skilfully. The second was a negro, a tall and powerful fellow. He made an energetic speech before he laid his head on the block. The executioner first wounded him in the neck. The culprit then made a fearful struggle, and got his arm loose, and in de fending his neck he had his arm chopped off. It was necessary to shoot him. The executioner cut off the dead man's finger to get at a silver ring on it. Some of the bunga lows destroyed off Jeddah were fitted up apparently for the conveyance of slaves, and there would ap pear to be a great deal of slavery going on in the Red Sea. A number of negroes swam off to the Cyclops while she lay off there, and claimed the protection of the captain, which was granted. Some were entered on the ship's. books, and others were to be sent to Bombay. The Red Sea, beiween Suez and Jeddah, was surveyed near each coast and down the centre. The bottom was found well adapted for laying down a submarine cable. A depth of 1,100 and 1,300 fathoms was found in some parts. The Cyclops would, it was supposed, lie three months at Suez, and then survey between Jeddah and Aden. The bottom of the Red Sea was of coral. INAUGURATION OF THE VERNON PARK AT STOCKPORT. STOCKPORT, MONDAY. To-day this borough has been the scene of great rejoicings, in consequence of th e inauguration of the Vernon Park, which consists of 18 acres of undu lating grounds, skirted on the south-east and east sides by the river Mersey. It was given to the town by Lord Vernon in 1842, for the formation of a park for the public. The streets presented at an early hour in the morning an activity which could not be mistaken for a general holiday, everybody being dressed in their Sunday attire. The Mayor (Mr. W. Williamson) having some time ago requested the various benefit societies in the town to lend him their assistance in keeping order on this occasion, they at once responced to his call. The marketplace was the point selected for forming a procession of these societies, &c., and most of them were on the spot before 11 o'clock, not withstanding that the procession was not to begin to move off before 12. The m ar ket-place, then, be ing the grand starting-point, it was the place to which the great multitude made their way ; and probably by half-past 11 o'clock, at which time a troop of the Cheshire Yeomanry Cavalry, under the command of Captain and Adjutant Hill, arrived, there were upwards of 20,000 persons assembled together. The market-place was, of course, gaily decorated with flags, banners, & c ., & c ., an d round about miniature cannon were popping off in every direction, to the great annoyance of both men and horses. Precisely at 12, the two cannon, which have been presented to the borough by the Minister at War, and which were captured at Sebastopol, were moved from where they had stood in the market-place, under the escort of the cavalry. Each of the guns was mounted with five pensioners be longing to the Royal Artillery, under the command of Sergeant Miller, Then, in order, followed the benefit societies, the fire-engines, and then the cor poration officials, the gentlemen of the borough, councillors, and aldermen of the borough, the county and borough magistrates and coroner, Mr. G. C. Legh, M.P., and Mr. W. Egerton, M.P. for the county, Mr. J. B. Smith and Mr. Kershaw, the borough members, the Marquis of Westminster, the Lord-Lieutenant of the county ; the Right Hon. Lord de Tabley, Mr. F. Crossley, Mr. H. Vincent, Sir R. Pendlebury, the mayor, town clerk, and the park committee. From the market-place the proces sion moved down Park-street, along Warren-street, Heaton-lane, and so down Newbridge-lane, to the park, which is about a mile from the town, and where the head of the procession arrived in 21 hours from the time of starting. All along the line of route flags and banners hung from the windows and roofs of the houses; and across several of the principal streets some tasteful triumphal arches were erected. The streets were also crowded with people who were making their way to the park. There was an ox hung in the park weighing about 60 stones, which was the gift of the mayor. It was cut up and distributed to the poor. The corporate authorities and the invited guests on entering the park walked round the greater por tion of it, and by that means very much prolonged the tedious proceedings. The mayor, &c., arrived upon the platform about four o'clock. The Stockport Choral Society then sung the Old 100th Psalm in a ver y . effective manner, the vast multitude assem bled in the park (about from 10,000 to 15,000) joining them. This being accomplished, the mayor stood forward and delivered the address, and at the conclusion of it pronounced the park opened, amid great cheering. A signal flag was then hoisted, and the two Russian guns on the mount in the park fired a royal salute. The Choral Society now sung the Hallelujah chorus, after which the united bands played " God save the Queen." The formalities in the park were thus concluded, there being cheers for the Queen, Lord Vernon, the Mayor of Stockport, &c., &c. A dinner takes place this evening in the Town hall, over which his worship the mayor will preside. The town is all excitement and bustle, and pro bably the number of persons in the streets and in the park is about 50,000, there being many strangers in the town. The admission- into the park was by ticket— before the opening, at 6d. after, at 3d. PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, SD. which was somewhat damaged at GoodiYood, it brought Promised Land into increased demand for the next year's Derb3% For the last. race on the first day Shafto came in first, but his jockey being 21bs. overweight, he was disqualified, and the race was awarded to the second horse. The rules of racing state, that " Each jockey shall be allowed 21bs. above the weight specified for his horse to carry, and no more," and, as Charlton, the rider of Shafto, only just drew 21b., it was contended that no rule had been broken, and that the horse ought not to be disqualified. The case was heard by the stewards the next day, and they decided that the jockey having drawn the 21bs. was more than 2lbs. over weight. Their decision is important, as it will prevent a similar question from arising on a future occasion. Its correctness, how ever, has been widely questioned, but in support of the stewards' ruling the following passage from the " Merchant of Venice " has been cited : " But just a pound of flesh : if thou tak'st more, Or less, than just a pound—be it. so much ma],cs it or heavy in the substance, Or the division of the twentieth-part Of one poor scruple; nay, if the scale do turn But in the estimation of a hair, Thou diest." The St. Leger day lost none of its prestige. The withdrawal of Fitz-Roland (who broke down badly the week before), the sudden rise of Eclipse and Volta, and the hostility which was in certain quar ters arrayed against roxophilite, contributed to keep alive the curiosity of the public. People were strong in their faith in Toxophilite, despite the fact of his having gone amiss at Goodwood and the doubts which were entertained of his staying qua lities. Although " Tox " was the most popular horse in the county, Yorkshire was divided between him and the Hadji, about whom, up to the very hour of starting, the utmost uncertainty pre vailed, and Mr. Merry and the public were puzzled respecting Sunbeam and 'Blanche of Mid dlebie. Both mares had been tried with Saunterer, and Blanche had beaten Sunbeam. Mr. Merry, therefore, deeming' Blanche the better animal, de clared to win with her. And doubtless she would have justified his declaration, but the Hadji was in the way and divided the two mares. Still it was a rare slice of fortune for the owner of two animals to obtain a first and third place in a race like the St. Leger. The only explanation which can be given of Toxophilite's defeat must be found in his deficient staying qualities. Still his success on Friday, and the defeat of Blanche of Middlebie on the same day, almost induced some people to believe that the race for the St. Leger was, after all, a mis take. The event, however, brought into notice young Snowden, a very clever jockey, who rode the winner of the three principal races on the Wednesday, and it afforded an opportunity to Bar tholomew to re-appear in the saddle for the second time since his disastrous accident at Goodwood in 1856. The " Cup-day" was as successful as the " St. Leger day,' and the triumph of Vedette was deemed a triumph for all Yorkshire. Never were Here such cheering and waving of hats since the days when Voltigeur defeated Russborough after the dead heat, and subsequently beat the Flying Dutchman for the Cup. On Friday the last race was run in the dark, owing to the difficulty which the starter experienced in getting the juvenile lockeys under proper control. Both were at oggerheads, but the obstinacy of the boys was enough to try the patience of Mr. Hibburd, and it is quite time that the race authorities endeavour to establish a better understanding between the jockeys and the starter. According to the betting, the bookmakers gene rally would be gainers on the meeting ; still, the satisfactory manner in which the settling was con ducted would indicate that the racing would be harmless to a large majority of speculators. After a great meeting, especially at the end of the season, a few persons are generally reported temporarily hit and missing, but this was not the case yester day. The squaring of accounts proceeded with smoothness, and we heard little grumbling respect ing either the tightness of money or the tardiness to meet engagements. The " gentlemen" arc the principal losers on the St. Leger, for many of them through good and through evil report adhered to Toxophilite, whilst others had pinned their faith to Fitz Roland, whose break-down and immediate re trogression in the betting left them no opportunity for " getting-out" of their money. Mr. Merry won, it is said, about £15,000, and he would have landed double that amount had Blanche or Middlebie won. The usual supporters of his stable—or stables—for Sunbeam and Blanche of - Middlebie are under the charge of different trainers—also throw in for good stakes, but their winnings are not so.large as they would have been if their confidence had not been divided between the two mares. The business of paying and receiving was con ducted almost to the exclusion of speculation. Bet ting was not resumed until the usual hour for clos ing the room, and the subjoined prices arc for the most part merely nominal.
