THE NAVY. The Admiralty yacht Black Eagle, Master-Com mander J. E. Petley, returned to -Woolwich on Sa turday from Dover. On arriving the body of the third engineer, named Alibone , was conve y ed on shore, and transported to the clead-house of the Royal Marine Hospital, to await the inquiry of a coroner and jury. The unfortunate deceased met with his death on Wednesday last, two hours after the Black Eagle sailed from Dover, having em barked H.R.H. the Prince of Wales and suite for Ostend. It has been ascertained that the deceased was engaged in the engine -room, and was in the act of " feeling the crank for hot bearings," when from a sudden lurch of the ship his foot slipped, and falling forward his head was caught between the crank-head and the beam, causing instant death. Thos. Parkes, a private belonging to the Woolwich division of the Royal Marides, was at the same time brought into the infirmary almost dead from the effects of a dose of sugar-of-lead, which, it appears, he had that morning swallowed at :a house of ill-fame situated in the Rope-yard rails, the general resort of the most abandoned characters of both sexes. It appears that the ma rine had broken his leave, and that under the fear of being discovered by his picket he had resolved on self-destruction Having purchased a packet of sugar-of-lead, which is commonly used in cleaning the leathers forming a part of their kit, he returned to the house, dissolved the drug in a glass of water, which he drank off, and, having furnished his brother's address, informed the inmates that he had poisoned himself, pointing to the empty glass. The assistance of Dr. Richardson was promptly ob tained, and by the agency of a powerful emetic the noxious drug was removed from his stomach, when he was conveyed to the Marine Infirmary, and is expected to recover. The Elfin, Royal yacht tender , Master-Com mander A. Balliston, has been taken off the " gri diron" alongside Portsmouth dockyard, where she usually goes when her copper needs cleaning, and is ready again for attendance on the Queen. The Fairy, Royal yacht, Master-Commander Welch, is also ready for her Majesty's embarkation, on the arrival of the Court on the way to Osborne, which is expected to be on or about the Ist of December. His Serene Highness Prince Ernest:of Leiningen, * commander of the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert (Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman, C. 8., Aide de-Camp to the Queen), has taken a house in Anglesey-terrace, Gosport, for 12 months' resi dence, and with the Princess and establishment will shortly occupy it. Captain H. Evres, C.B. commanding her Ma jesty's ship St. Vincent •, Captain G. H. Seymour, C. 8., Aide-de-Camp to the Queen, commanding her Majesty's ship Victory . ; and Captain G. T. Gordon, commanding her Majesty's ship Hannibal, were conveyed on Saturday from Portsmouth in her Majesty's steamvessel Sprightly, Mr. G. Allen, master commanding, to Southampton Water, to form a court of inquiry and to investigate charges made against a lieutenant of Her Majesty's ship Arrogant, 47, Captain L. G. Heath, C. 8., doing Coastguard and Naval Coast Volunteer duties in those waters. It is supposed a court-martial will follow. Captain Gordon, on leaving the court, pro ceeded to visit Admiral Sir T. Cochrane, at his seat near Fishbourne. The St. Vincent, 102, Captain Eyre* s, C. 8., is alongside the Prince Regent hulk, off the King's stairs, in Portsmouth harbour, preparing to receive her crew and take her old moorings as ordinary flagship off Stony-steps, on the Gosport side, where the mud engine is now at work on a bank clearing away obstructions accumulated there, which other wise might prevent her swinging comfortably. Rear-Admiral the Hon. G. Grey, Superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard, returned from leave and rehoisted his flag at the mizen of the St. Vincent on Saturday afternoon. Captain G. T. Gordon, commanding her Majesty's steamship Hannibal, 91, depot of the steam fleet in reserve at Portsmouth, has made an alteration in the routine duties of the crew which is most consi derate and humane in itself and salutary and com fortable to the men. It is the practice in the fleet to " rouse out" at 4 o'clock in the morning to holy stone and scrub decks. This in the winter is work which may be considered equal to punishment, the cold water frequently freezing on the decks and keeping them damp all day. The crew must be a hardy and well-seasoned one on which such a sys tem would not intrcxb.nn &Jame quota to the sick bay. Capt. Gordon has ordered rite al.‘,,yntinwince altogether, for the winter months, of holystoning— a practice which some officers have carried to such an extent as to wear through the decks,—substitu ting washing once a-week with warm water from the boilers in lieu of cold from over the side, and the crew to turn out at half-past five instead of four in the morning. There are upwards of 1,150, all ranks included, on the books of the Hannibal, about 500 or 600 of whom are on board. The Urgent, 6, screw steam troop-ship, Com mander Macdonald, is stowing ship in readiness for the baggage of the troops she is ordered to em bark. She bent sails on Saturday alongside Ports mouth Dockyard, and to-morrow Admiral Sir G. Seymour, Lieutenant-Colonel Conolly, Assistant Quartermaster-General, and Surgeon-Major Moore, M.D., principal medical officer of the South-West District, are ordered to survey and inspect her prior to reporting on her fitness to receive her allotted troops. The Avon, steam-tender, Mr. J. Palmer master commanding, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday from Devonport, with such of the seamen, marine artillerymen,and light Infantry as belong to Ports mouth, paid off from her Majesty's steam-frigate Centaur. She returned yesterday to Devonport. Thirty hired shipwrights ware discharged from Dockyard on Saturday afternoon ; these were men entered specially to work on the Britannia, 120 guns, sailing ship, fitting to supersede the llus trious, 74, as berthing and training ship for newly admitted young officers into the navy, under the command of Captain Robert Harris. The steam-transport Rhadamanthus, 4, Master Commander F. R. Sturdee, from Glasgow, arrived at Plymouth on Friday, with boilers for the Turkish ship Shadie, and machinery for the frigate Fethia. The Rhadamanthus brought also 10 volunteers from Glasgow for the screw steam frigate Liffey, 51. The brig Childers, 12, Commander Swinburn, from the West Coast of Africa, last from Cork, arrived in Plymouth Sound yesterday (Sunday) morning, and was signalised to proceed to Chatham to be paid off. The paddle-wheel surveying vessel Asp, from South Wales, arrived at Plymouth on Friday - - morning, and was placed in the basin at Kcyham for examination. Lieutenant Frederick Anstruther Herbert (1648), whose promotion to the rank of commander we announced on Saturday, has seen much service, he having joined the Spiteful, 6, paddle sloop, in the Mediterranean, on the sth of October, 1849, where he served for several years, when he removed into the Nile, 91, screw, in the Baltic, on the 3d of February, 1854, and served throughout the whole of the Russian war. He was appointed to the com mand of the Dove, steam gunboat, on the 4th of January, 1856, and, after serving several months, was again appointed, on the Ist of December, 1856, to be senior lieutenant in the Indus, 78, flag ship of Vice-Admiral Sir Houston Stewart, K.C.8., on the North American and West Indian station, where he remained until the present time. The following appointments were made on Satur day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. W. Boulton to be lieutenant-Commander of the Firm gunboat, vice Nicolas, promoted ; Lieut. E. Wilmot, to the Indus, for gunnery duties ; Lieut. E. M. Collier to the Nile ; A. C.;. May, mate, to the Royal Albert ; C. Forrest, mate, to the Brunswick ; J. Elliot, staff surgeon,t to the Calcutta ; J. P. Burke, surgeon, to e Diadem ; and E. W. Shirley, midshipman, to the Liffey. THE ARMY.

The total number of reinforcements now awaiting embarkation will increase the British troops serving. in India to close upon 100,000 men of all ranks. A handsomely ornamented timepiece has been presented .by.the non-commissioned officers of the Royal Engineers at headquarters, Chatham, to Colour-sergeant E. Orm, Royal Engineers, as a mark of their esteem for that non-commissioned officer, on the occasion of his quitting. that corps after upwards of 30 years' service. The presentation took place in the sergeants' mess-room at Brompton Barracks; in the presence of nearly 100 non-com missioned ;of cersbelonging to the Royal Engineers. A few days previously the good-conduct medal and annuity were presented to Quartermaster-Sergeant Marsh, Royal - Engineers, by order of the Duke of Cambridge, for long and. meritorious service. The 1 medal was presented to the Quartermaster-Sergeant in the presence of a full parade of the troops, by Col. Sandham, who highly eulogised the conduct of that deserving non-commissioned officer. M. KOSSUTH ON THE CHARACTERIS TICS OF EUROPEAN NATIONS. On Thursday evening the ex-Governor of Hun gary delivered a lecture in the Music-hall, Edin burgh, on the "Characteristic differences of the European nations." The chair was occupied by Mr. Black, M.P., and there was a very numerous at tendance. M. KOSSUTH premised his lecture by some remarks on the Chinese and Indian nations," now casting the shadow of their historical eternity on the Bri tish race," and contrasted with their monotonous and unchanging life the restless activities of the E u ropean nations. Adverting to the antipathies and prejudices with which each of the great European nations regarded the rest, he proceeded to show that national peculiarities were not fit subjects for mutual ridicule or contempt, but a providential ordi nance commanding mutual forbearance and respect. The diversity of national character ought rather to be the ground of reciprocal esteem. He proposed to illustrate this by contrasting with each other the distinct characters of the three great nationalites— the German, the French, and the English--each of whom had great claims on general esteem, but each of whom pretended to be in possession of a special charter of superiority over the two others, and over the rest of the universe besides. It has been said (he proceeded), and not without foundation, that as the moral personality of the individual man is made up by the harmonious concurrence of three forces, which, for the sake of brevity, we will call mind, heart, and soul, or intellect, sentiment, and will, just so the national genius of the Ger man, French, and English, combined in harmoni ous symmetry, would form a most perfect collec tive being, inasmuch as each of them corresponds to one of the three spiritual faculties of the indivi dual man ; intellect or mind being represented by the German, sentiment or heart by the French, and active spontaneity of will or the soul by the English national genius. In fact, on inquiring into the predominant feature of these three na tional characters, we find in the German indivi dualism and idealism corresponding with reason in the abstract. In the French we find sociable ness and communicativeness corresponding with sentiment, affection, passion, heart ; and as to the English, it being a compound of half Saxon, half Norman, and, as the Irish would say, several other halves besides, we find in the English the German individualism likewise, but not in the ideal line. We find it connected with practical activity ; it is in dividual energy applied to substantial results : it is the force of the strong will, bent on rendering phy sical nature subservient to the welfare of man. We might say that the whole history of these nations, every relation of their life, private as well as social and political, the character of their achieve ments, the turn of their ideas, their jurisprudence, their philosophy, their literature—nay, their very language, appears shaped in the mould of the par ticular quality which underlies their respective national character. In illustration of the last remark M. Kossuth referred to the English word " common-sense," a word highly character. istic of the national mind, but which had no proper equivalent in either French or German, the French seas conzmun and the German gemeinsinn express ing ideas entirely different. On the other hand, the master-word of the French national charac ter was esprit, which he defied the whole philo logical profession to translate into English. The essence of the German character was ex pressed by the word gemuth ; but, take Oxford and Cambridge, take the Sorbonne and the French Academy, and every French and English scientific circumlocution-office, and, though they pounded them all to powder and dust, they would not make out one particle of German genzuth either in English or French. The Hun garian was, to his knowledge, the only language p os sessin g both the English " common sense" and the German gemuth, but the French esprit had not. M. Kossuth proceeded to contrast the German with the English character. The German, he said, is undoubtedly the profoundest thinker among all. The individualism and idealism of his national genius pushes him to meditation. His mind is essentially contemplative. He is the philosopher of Europe. His philosophy is totally different from Y""rs- You speak of a " natural philosophy ;" the German no' Jshudders to hear the word "philosophy" applied to a mere st But you are a matter-of-fact people ; the German, on the contrary, is the man of ideas—to him the whole universe, moral and physical, and every thing besides, are but materials for speculative in quiry into the absolute reason, into the infinite sub stance, infinite power, infinite form. Some people, said the lecturer, are apt to deride the individual ism of the Germans. Instead of deriding it, every nation of Europe ought to be penetrated by a sense of respect and lasting gratitude. It is the modern German individualism which fintroduced into the cradle of modern Europe that element which every lover of freedom, every heart throbbing with the proud consciousness of man's inborn nobility must value the most—the element of personal independ ence—that element, which Burns, the poet of na ture, the poet of the people, felt stirring in his breast when he sang that— " The rank is but the guinea stamp, The man's the gowd for a' that." And it is, likewise, to the German individualism that Europe is chiefly indebted for the rich deve lopment of nationalities, because it is the German individualism which, abhoring the very idea of centralisation, preserved Europe from a revival of the Roman Empire, in the shape of a spiritual or of a secular universal monarchy; either of which would have made both political and religious free dom impossible. We have to thank G:rman indivi dualism that Europe is not now a second China, or at the best another Russia. Again, men are prone to deride the idealism of the German. Yet it is that idealism which, irresistibly drifted towards the ex pansion of thought through all time and space, in spired Guttenburg to invent the printing press ; that marvellous emancipation of the human mind, which, arming the idea with the weapons of infi nite space and infinite time, assembles the unborn generations of men around the solitary thinker, makes mankind the audience of his solitary medi dations, and causes the midnight lamp of his study to shine over the world with the light of an intel lectual sun. In that invention, the Spirit of God moved over the face of the waters once more, and there was light. And Luther came; he, too, an emanation of the German idealism—he held up the Bible in that light to the free inquiry of man's emancipated reason ; and the shackles of slavery fell from man's emancipated conscience. Yet, for sooth, the practical English and the social French deride the German genius. It is as if the soul and the heart were to deride the mind. M. Kossuth went on to contrast the French and English cha racter. With the English, he said, the man, the individul, is everything. Society is to him but the frame in which he expands his individual energies, but it is not on society he relies; he relies on him self. We read of St. Olof that on asking one of his warriors, "In whom dost thou believe ?" the warrior answered, " I believe in myself." That man must have been the progenitor of the Anglo- Norman race. With the French, on the contrary, society is everything. The individual regards him self but as a component "part of society, a drop mixed up with millions of drops ; he believes not in himself, but in society ; and it is from this be lief that each Frenchman might say, " My name is legion." People in England will say, " I am an Englishdian ;" there you have the article of indivi duality " an," and there you have the " man." You have him in the Scotchman, Irishman, noble man, gentleman, alderman, yeoman, the liveryman, and in the old form of address, " Ye men of Eng land"—everywhere you meet the " man." The de signation of nationality, rank, office, are but adjec tives with him ; the man is the substantive. Your neighbourthere across the Channel will not say that heis a Frenchman ; he will sayhe is French, he!drops his personality and makes himself an adjective, his country is his substantive. Verily, the lan guage of a nation is the mirror of its character. Hence the French genius centralises, the English individualises. The French can tell of a powerful State, the English of a free nation, which never feared, nor never will fear, any Power on earth. The French have struggled much for freedom, but scarcely ever were free ; the English have struggled but little for it, and nearly always were free. M. Kossuth proceeded to say that the Frenchman's theory of government was centralisation ; he had yielded his liberties to a central power, and he took his faith from a central source. The Englishman, on the other hand, asserted his individual rights and his will in political matters, and his liberty of con science in religious belief. Every enterprise into which the French nation entered was guided and controlled by the central Government • even their system of colonisation Nas under State direction, ') and hence its comparative o failure. English com merce, on the other hand, tv iit spread over th e world, itsa n na yNanted freedom and colonies The political con ela i d the foundations of new emp i res. dition of France was a bitter irony on the gigantic efforts which that great nation h a d ma d e for liberty. The failure of its past exertions were directly trace able to centralisation ; for centralisation must lead to absolutism —it was absolutism in the germ. The French genius tended towards levelling individuality —the English towards its expansion. France had acquired equality without liberty; England h a d freedom w ith social inequality.. M. Kossuth carnet° what he termed the rather amusing chapter of the social relations of France and England. A French man and his wife stood on terms of equality ; in England no such equality existed. Marriage in France was a company formed under a tacit under standing of " limited liability ;" in England it was a solemn contract, in fulfilment of which, when affection subsided, duty took its place. The house of the Englishman was his sanctuary, his castle. The Germans would say, " He is at his house," and the French, " He is chez dui," or " at himself." (Laughter.) We Hungarians, too (said M. Kos suth), have our word home, and it is indicative of our national character that we apply it to our private homes, the door of which is seldom shut, and to our national home, our fatherland ; love of private home and love of national home form the ground-work of the character of Hungary -judge, then, from this what it is for a Hungarian to be an exile. An Englishman, resumed M. Kos suth, would live 20 years in a house without know ing his neighbours ; a Frenchman would know all of them in 24 hours. Let the sociable Frenchman be planted among the tatooed islanders of the South Sea, and in two years he would be found tatooed ; put an Englishman in the same position, and he would be king of the island in that time. The lec turer also referred to the communicativeness of the French character—a quality which was not only individual but national ; and hence the electric celerity with which the throb of liberty communi cated from Paris spread throughout the continent, and made every European despot tremble. France, ruled by one ambitious man (he said), might be a standing menace to Britain, but from free France she had absolutely nothing to fear. Let Britain therefore withdraw her hands from propping the established " order of things"—an order which rightly should be called " disorder," for freedom was order, and despotism was the anarchy that should be feared. Let the rising tide of aspiration for freedom now spreading over the continent re lieve the French nation from the apprehension of foreign coalitions, let onlyonce-more-reviving France remember that the freedom of Germany, Italy, Hungary, and Poland was the best and only gua rantee cf her own freedom, and they should see the dead weight of centralisation fall from off her breast and France would stand in the face of day free as the freest of all. France, notwithstanding her own enslaved condition, through her love of centralisa tion, had far more influence in promoting the spread of political liberty than Britain with all her free dom. Every pulsation of the sociable heart of the French nation (said the lecturer) makes Europe palpitate. An unheaving at Paris is a political earthquake in Europe. France oppressed, is the Continent oppressed ; France struggling for free dom, is Europe struggling for freedom ; France consolidating her liberty, is Europe free. (Cheers.) The lecturer concluded by observing that the great natural characteristics of English, French, and German were requisite to make a perfect whole, and that if any one were wanting progress would be at an end. Let, therefore, the proud pretension of •exclusive superiority in each be softened to mutual esteem; that fruitful source of the sentiment of national brotherhood, which is the great crowning word of mankind's emancipation. Mr. Kossuth throughout his lecture was loudly applauded, and received a very cordial vote of thanks at the close. THE LATE POACHING AFFRAY NEAR BEVERLEY. Eight men have been apprehended on the charge of being concerned in the murderous affray at Bishop Burton, near Beverley, on Tuesday-night, as already reported in The Sun, and they have all been re manded. Four out of the eight are Lincolnshire men, and one of them named Woodhouse Marshall, of Newport Lincoln, when apprehended at the house of his sister, Holderness-court, Witham, Hull, was found to be suffering from about 50 shot wounds in both thighs, which were bandaged up with cloths containing bran, he not having had medical assistance. On being charged with being concerned in the murder of Mr. Watt's gamekeeper he re plied, "I am clear of the murder." At the inquest on the body of Jasques, held by Mr. E. D. Conyers, Geddes, one of the underkeepers, who was shot in the abdomen, was sufficiently recovered to give an account of the affray. He deposed as follows :-- "I am underkeeper to Mr. Watt. On Tuesday night Jacques myself, and Robinson, went out together a little before 10 o'clock. We went to the Brogdale Plantation. We had not heard any firing previous to going out. We kept together, and between. 10 and 11 o'clock heard the streams of two hares. We came round thr. ?4; do of tho plantation, I and stood there fur a few minutes, when we gut sight of the poachers inside of the plantation. - I saw one man at first, and almost immediately after wards five or six others standing a little lower down. The keeper and myself had each a double-barrelled gun and pistol. I asked Jacques what we were to do. He said, We must go into the field,'and went in first; Robinson and I followed. We should then be about 20 yards from the poachers. Jacques went forward first, when a dog came up to him (there were six or seven dogs, but we had no watchdogs with us.) Jacques said if they did not fetch the dogs away he would shoot them (meaning the dogs). The answer was if he did they would shoot him, and they came forward as if they would at tack him. The dogs still kept coming on, and Jacques fired and killed one of them. I also shot one of them. When Jacques had shot the dog some person fired at me, and the contents of the gun hit me in the groin of the right thigh. I fell upon my right knee when I received the wound. Jacques said, Come on,' and the poachers cried out, 'On to the —,' and I saw them fall upon Jacques and Ro binson with sticks and bludgeons. I could distinctly hear the blows with the sticks. They separated me from Jacques. A man came up to me w i th a s t o ne in his hand—l believe it was Playforth. Six or seven more then came up, and as I reeled round I fired my pistol, and they then went away. I could not see anymore of Jacques or Robinson. They were hidden from me by the poachers. I did not see Jacques knocked down. I then came to the village and was the first person to give the alarm. I was able to get to the house of Thomas Ellerker, the woodman, and told him about Jacques and Robin- son. There would be 16 poachers, I should say, in all. It was light enough to distinguish their faces. I have seen some of the poachers since. I can iden tify those men that have been brought before me. I believe the first man I saw was Macgarth. lam sure about Franklin and Playforth. Johnson had a bludgeon in his hand. They all had sticks or wea pons of some description. They had dogs with them —one a black one, another dark and white, and the others were sandy-coloured." Thomas Ellerker, one of Mr. Watt's woodmen, who was called up by Geddes after the affray, de posed to finding the body of Jacques in a seed. field. He lay upon his side quite dead. He afterwards found Robinson, another of the under keepers, a quarter of a mile from Jacques, in a very bad state. A ramrod and a turnip dig with an iron head were picked up near the place. Mr. Brereton, surgeon, of Beverley, said he examined the body of Jacques, and found an immense fracture of the skull, which had no doubt caused instant death. He had also examined Robinson, and had found six or seven severe wounds upon the scalp, most of them cut to the bone ; he had also] a swelling in the jaws, and could not speak ; he was in a very dangerous state. The inquest was adjourned to Wednesday next. A GAMEKEEPER SHOT BY A TENANT FARMER NEAR NEWARK. Between 10 and 11 o'clock on Thursday night, a melancholy and fatal occurrence took place at Barnaby-in-the-Willows, about four miles from Newark. Thos. Birkitt, jun., a tenant farmer, of Barnby, was out with a guu shooting rabbits by moonlight, on his own land, where he had a right to shoot. When he had fired several shots, two watchers in the employ of Henry Gilbert, Esq. (whose land adjoins to Birkitt's farm), came up towards a gate which divides the two farms. Birkitt asked them where those two rabbit traps were which they had stolen, and he called them thieves. One of the men, named Wetmore called him a thief in reply, and the three men all drew near to the gate, where an altercation took place. According to Birkitt's account, the deceased lifted a stick and 'threatened to strike him, and as he (Birkitt) drew back to escape the blow, his gnn went off—he knew not how—and the contents of the barrel lodged in the breast of Watmorc, who was only three or four yards from the muzzle. The poor fellow reeled a moment and fell to the ground dead. The other watcher went to the hall for as sistance, while Birkitt stayed with the body, which was afterwards removed in a cart to the hall, where Mr. Gilbert resides. Mr. Job, surgeon, of Newark, was soon in at tendance, but of course nothing could be done, as life was extinct. Police-constable Thomas Walker was on duty at the time within a short distance of the place where the affair occurred. On learning, the particulars, he went to Birkitt's house, and ap prehended him on the charge of shooting Watmore. He was conveyed to Newark police-station. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—IIoIIoway's Pills an Extraordinary Remedy for Liver and Stomach Complaints.—Mark Dre well, of Milsoin-street, Bath, was afflicted for seven years with a disorder of the liver and stomach, indigestion, loss of appetite, and extreme debility; consequently, quite unable to follow his occupation, he consulted the most eminent:tne dical men in town and country without any beneficial re sult. At last he had recourse to this invaluable remedy, which in a short time effected a wonderful change for the better, and in three months his health was re-established. A. vast majority of liver diseases, many of which often prove fatal, hav e their origin in the weak digestive power of the stomach. This being remedied by Holloway's Pills, the liver is safe, - THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 22, 1858. LAW INTELLIG ENCE.—Nov. 20, COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before a Common Jury.) MARCIIMONT V. MARCIIMONT. Mr. Sergeant Pigott, Dr. Deane, Q.C., Dr. Spinks, Mr. Tindal Atkinson, and Mr. F. J. Smith were counsel for ( the petitioner; Mr. R. Macaulay, Q.C., Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., and Dr. Swabey for the respondent, The petitioner, Caroline Maria Marchmon t, prayed for a judicial separation from her husband, Henry Marchmont, on the ground of cruelty. She alleged that he had treated her with great unkindness and cruelty, and had extorted large sums of money from her by threats and violence. Various acts of cruelty were spurned in the petition. The respondent de nied all the allegations of cruelty, and also pleaded condonation. The case was opened by Mr. Sergeant Pigott. All the material facts were elicited in the evidence of the petitioner, which we subjoin. It is only necessary to state that the respondent, before his marriage, was the minister of an Independent Chapel at Islington, and that the petitioner was the widow of a Mr. Locket, who kept a tavern in Threadneedle-street. Mrs. Caroline Maria Marchmont, examined by Dr. Deane, said—l was married to the lespondent on the 17th of October, 1857. I had known him since December, 1856. I was a widow, and had £50,000 at my own disposal, which had been left me by my first husband. Mr. Marchmont first proposed to me in February, 1856. I did not then accept him. On the evening before I was married I saw Mr. Marchmout's mother. She was then dying. I was married at St. George's Cathedral. Mr. Marchmont was an Independent minister when I became acquainted .with him. I am a Roman Catholic. All my property was settled on myself. After we were married we went to Tun bridge Wells. Mr. Marchmont's little boy, about five years old, went with us. The morning after our arrival we heard of the death of Mr. March mont's mother. Before my marriage I had lent ' Mr. Marchmont's father £9OO. He had also had £llO. I advanced this at Mr. Marchmont's re quest. I had lent Mr. Marchmont £lOO. We re mained about five weeks at Tunbridge Wells. Several unpleasant things occurred between my husband and myself. Mr. Marchmont's two other children joined us there. On the 18th November he told me to go and hang or drown myself. On the next day he told me he should leave me, and told the children to take off the things I had bought for them and put on their own. A few days after wards, while we were out for a walk, he called me a liar, and when I made some observa tion he said it was a lie. The day after the marriage I gave him £lOO, and afterwards lent him £7l. About the end of November we went to Dover. Early in December -Mr. Marehmont called me a mean-spirited thing, or worse, and said he wished me away. I said, "If you will allow me to get my bonnet I will go." He followed me up stairs and spoke to me in a violent temper. I went out of the house, and he then told me to go back and pay the bill, adding that if I did not he would throw me into the sea. He was very white and his eyes flashed fire. I got into an omnibus to go away, but went back to the hotel again the same night. One morning he insisted on having a cheque for £lOO, and another for £l5, and stood over me with his fist up until I yielded. He was continually telling me to go to the devil and to hell, calling me .names, such as " cat," and "dirty slut." About the end of December he asked me to make it up. I said I would if he gave me the £lOO cheque. He did so and we were friends till the next day. We went out for a walk in the afternoon, and one of the children took his arm. I said it -would be better if they did not take his arm. He said they should, got very violent, and threatened to knock me down, or give me in charge to a policeman, and called me " a beast and a cat." I struggled and ran away. I got into an omnibus and went to Deal, and the next day went to my sister, Mrs. Davis, at Black heath. I went back again to my husband at Dover on Christmas-day. The next day after he expressed a wish to separate" and to have £lO,OOO. He would go off in his temper at any moment, and I was so frightened, that at his request, I wrote to my trustee expressing my readiness to give him that sum and to sign a deed of separation ; but he did not let me send it. He said in the morning that he felt he was going to be in an ill-humour, and he prayed that it might pass off; but that he was like Mount Vesuvius, and when it was boiling over it must have vent, and he could not help it. We went from Dover to Ostend on the 31st December, and then on to Brussel.% We returned to Dover on the 7th of January. On the following Sunday he was in an ill-humour, and when I went home from church he called me names, told me to go to • hell, and said the sooner he saw me there the bet ter. He also repeated his demand for £lO,OOO. He threatened to call a policeman and to say I was mad, ground his teeth at me, and called me hell fire, spit-fire-cat. He then became calm. He after wards broke out again, said I had £50,000, and he did not see why he should not have half. I repeated the words tl - at he had used to the servant. After dinner he said I might go if I liked. I accordingly went out. He followed and asked me to go back, and said if I did not he would drown himself. I walked about for some time. He called to me on the pier and said he was only waiting for it to get dark, and then he would drown himself. I returned to him that evening. On the 12th of January we went home to my house, 10, Percy-place, in the Clapham-road. On the 21st of January he went off into a passion because I had suggested that he could see a little longer without a candle, called me a drunken faggot, and rushed upstairs and broke open my room door, which was locked. He tried to take my account-book out of my hand, and in struggling he blacked his face. He then said that if I was a man he would spit in my face and force me to fight a duel. He went upstairs, and he fol lowed and said to the children, " If that woman speaks to you. slap her and spit in her, face." A number of people had collected round the front door, and I wanted to get out. He tried to carry me into the parlour, and I screamed. He took the children into the drawing-room, and when I went to them he thrust me out of it. I went towards the back door, and he followed me. His passion be came so violent that he pet up his hand and struck my forehead. His hand was open, but the blow was so violent that my eyes struck fire. I was doing nothing but trying to get out of his way. I spent that evening in the kitchen, and I slept at night in the servant's room. He asked me to make it up, and although we were not friends we went on quietly for some time. He took the children to see the illuminations. He once brought home a Newfoun land dog, and when I made an observation about it lie flew into a rage and passed the night on the sofa. He asked me to go to My solicitor, and said if I told the solicitor he had struck me he would torment me as long as he lived and shorten my life. The day afterwards, when I objected to go out in the carriage, lie said he would " not mind swinging" for me. I was so frightened that I ran out of the house to a neighbour. My husband followed me and sent me a letter. I slipped out of the door and went to my sister, but she was ill, and I then went to my niece, Mrs. Walmsley. (Some letters written by the respondent to his wife were here read. In the first of them he re quested an interview for a few minutes. " Don't," he said,— " Refuse your husband, who loves you to distrac tion. If you refuse I shall go God knows whither —I do not. Think of what I have borne since last Thursday, more than tongue - can tell . . God make and keep you happy, Caroline . . To me life with out you is a burden and the world a desert. Shall the last note of intercession be in vain from your husband? Heaven protect and bless you. So prays your ever devoted, though despised and hated Henry." In another letter he said— , " My dearest Caroline,—Do you think I deser we this ? Pray see me, and let me tell you how sorry I am for having caused you any pain, and then if you wish me I will leave you, and make no further effort to see you again. My heart is almost broken by sorrow, mortification, and anxiety. I love you with my whole heart, in spite of any severity of manner I have shown towards you. God is my witness that I am thoroughly sincere in these pro fessions. I have no motive beyond my love for you . Come home with me, my own darling, and I will still do as I have always endeavoured to make you happy." Examined continued.—On the 25th of February my husband came to me at Mr. Walmsley's. We were at dinner. He said I must go . with him, and I went without bonnet or shawl. He took hold of me and thrust me into a cab, and forced me down. He was in such a passion that he trembled and could scarcely speak plain. (The witness with considerable reluctance mentioned some epithets applied to her by her husband. They are too gross for repetition.) I screamed, and he put his hand before my mouth and tried to stop me. He loosened my teeth and he threatened to throw me out of the cab and let the wheels pass over me. I begged and prayed him, for God's sake, to stop, and he said he did not believe there was a God, for if there was he would not be permitted to feel what he then felt. A gentleman stopped the cab, hearing the screaming. I begged to be taken to the station house. The cabman drove there, and my husband then asked me not to give him in charge, and after more than an hour's hesitation I yielded and went home with him. I made him a present of £220, as I thought it would make him kind to me. He went with me to the banker's. He wrote this paper at the banker's. The document was as follows : " I promise and swear three things to thee, First, to renounce all other women and cleave only unto thee. Second, to endeavour to curb my temper and restrain all angry expressions. Third, to love thee with all my heart, disinterestedly, purely, con stantly, and until death.—l am, my dearest Caro line, thine affectionately, _H. MAnciimoNT." Within a day or two before that he had asked me to write to my trustees about giving him the lease of the hope in Percy-place. He shook his fist at me, and repeated the names he had called me in the cab. After the cheque had been given we had another violent quarrel about the house, in which he again called me names. I then left the house and went to Mrs. Mackenzie's. I went in order to avoid seeing him when he came home. I stayed with Mrs. Mackenzie for a week. My husband found me out and insisted upon my going with him. He said that if I did not he would carry me down stairs. I went home. I had made my will before my marriage. He said on the Gth of April that he had heard I had left him £lO,OOO, but he did not see why he should not have half my money. I said that if he behaved kindly for six months I would make another will. Soon afterwards, as he again called me names, and I feared another outbreak, I went again to Mrs Mackenzie, and took apartments with her in Que bec-street. He found. me out. I refused to return with him unless Mrs. Mackenzie accompanied me. She came with me and stayed for three days. On the morning that she left he was in a violent pas sion, and said he would never leave me till my dying day unless I gave him £25,000. He wanted to know how long that woman was going to be a spy on his actions, and made me send her away. He also insisted on my giving him £lOO, and he was so violent that I let him have it. About the beginning of May I went again, in consequence of another quarrel, to my sister's. When I had been there a week my husband wrote to me to say that one of the children was ill, and I returned home. Wken he came to fetch me from my sister's I was so alarmed that I tried to get into an ottoman, but it would not close, so I got out and concealed my self in the coal cellar. I went home the next morn ing, believing that the child was dying. I found it had only a slight cold. My husband seemed pleased to see me. Two days afterwards he was ill-hu moured and made use of some dreadful expressions, and as he was shaving threatened to draw the razor across his own throat. He took my keys from me and locked them up, and told me to go downstairs and find half a dozen blank cheques and he would fill them up. When I went down he got into a passion in consequence of something I had said, and said he would knock me down, and he did not mind dying for me. He used language too bad for me to repeat. On the 3d of June I called on my solicitor, Mr. Barnard. The next morning my husband asked me if I had been there, and repeated the names he had before called me. The same day he said that if I told the servants anything about him he would take my tongue out. I got out of the house and went into a neighbour's at No. 9. He followed me, and almost threw me over the wall in endeavouring to take me back. He and his brother-in-law ran after me and caught me in the garden, and took me back to the house. He told his brother-in-law to bolt the doors and windows, and said I should be a prisoner. When I was speaking about what he had done to me, he took up a pair of scissors and threatened to throw them at me. In the evening I was attacked with spasms and was very ill. I kept my bed for five or six days. I had asked for a doctor, but my husband said I did not want one. My cook went and fetched Dr. Bird, who attended me. My hus band told me, while I was ill, that it was useless for me to think of a judicial separation, for he would never leave me until I had let him have £25,000, and then I might " go to Hongkong for him." On the Bth of June my sister came to see me. I told her what had occurred in my husband's pre sence. He was very angry, and almost turned her out, when she stooped down to kiss me, and I whis pered to her, " Go to Mr. Barnard and do all you can for me.:'• Later in the day I saw my sister and Mr. Barnard coming to the door. My hus • band was at the door trying to prevent them from coming in. I went to the door, and he turned round, took hold of me, and carried me into the parlour. I there fainted. When I recovered m y sister was by my side, and a policeman in the room. My husband begged me not to take him before a magistrate. He was very calm then. We all went before a police magistrate, and my hus band was bound over to keep the peace for three months. I went to the house of Mr. Mitchell, a medical man, where I remained. Several letters written by the respondent en treating forgiveness for his conduct, and promising amendment, were then read. They were in the same tone as those we nave already given. he compared himself and his wife to a sweet rose and a pure tulip which had been separated, and asked whether they were ever to be united ? In others he inserted copies of verse,— " Thou art gone from my gaze like a beautiful dream," and similar productions. He begged his wife not to expose family quarrels or listen to the advice of lawyers, who, he said, would always say there was a good case where there was money. He also spoke of the effect of the exposures which had already taken place upon his own prospects, and said that anonymous letters were pouring in upon him—he had just been obliged to pay 2d. for one. The reading of the letters occupied a considerable time, and caused much amusement in the court. _ _ _ _ It was admitted that Mr. Marchmont still re sided at 10, Percy-place. As the examination of the witness had occupied the greater part of the day the Court adjourned at 4 o'clock, without commencing the cross-examina tion. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 20. MANSION-HOUSE. Alexander Kochanow sky, Myers Goldberg, and Jacob Goldwater, were brought up by Hamilton, Scott, and Jervis, city detective officers, charged with forging and being in possession of plates for the manufacture of Russian bank-notes. Mr. Sleigh, the barrister, instructed by Messrs. Oliverson and Peachey, appeared in support of the prosecution. The learned counsel said— -I have the honour to appear here to-day on behalf of the Russian Government, and I charge the prisoner, Kochanowsky, passing under the dignity of a baron, and the two other prisoners, one a Russian and the other a Prussian, with having unlawfully in their possession certain plates which would, if struck off, be counterfeits of rouble (Russian) notes. I shall on a future occasion proceed further, and charge the prisoners with forging the plates, and with being accessory to the fact beforehand. I shall content myself to-day by placing in the box the officer who this morning went into a publichouse and found the prisoners, as well as the plates, the subject matter of this inquiry. The prisoners placed themselves in communication with the firm of Rolls and Son, engravers, Sun-street, and from time to time visited them and gave them directions for the manufacture of these plates. The engravers, much to their credit, immediately placed themselves in communication with the police. I shall be able to show that, step by step, the manufacture of these plates, under the immediate cognisance, at the re quest, and under the direction .f the prisoners, has been carried on. W. Hamilton—l am inspector of detective offi cers-of the City of London. I apprehended Kocha nowsky this morning in a back room on the first floor of the King's Head publichouse, Threadneedle street. The other prisoners were iu the room at the time. I found the plates numbered 1,2, and 3, which I produce, on a settle in the room, wrapped up in a piece of paper. I had other officers with me (Jervis and Scott.) Before I took possession of the plates I told the prisoners that I apprehended them upon a charge of causing to be made three plates for the purpose of making Russian notes, and that they were further charged with having those _plates in their possession in that room. Kochanow sky said, " I know nothing of them, they are not mine." Immediately I had uttered these words I turned behind where Kochanowsky was standing and found the parcel containing the plates on the seat. On plate No. 1 I found the two paper impres sions marked A and B. On Kockanowsky I found a pocketbook containing a sealed letter, which I have not yet opened, addressed in foreign language. (The letter was handed to the Lord Mayor, who opened it, but did not disclose its contents.) I also found a 5, a 25, and a 50 Russian rouble note, some memoranda, a cigar -case, and 4s. 01d. in money. After some further evidence the prisoners were remanded for a week. _ . Mary Alman, who had been several times re manded upon the charge of neglecting her infant, eight months old, was again brought up. Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, having read over the depositions taken at the former examinations, The Lord Mayor said that,since the prisoner had last appeared before him, her child had died. He regretted very much that the evidence was not such as to justify him in sending her for trial. She might, however, be committed to the Central Cri minal Court upon the coroner's warrant; and if further evidence were procured against her she might be again apprehended and brought to the Mansion-house upon the charge of causing the death of her child.. GUILDHALL. —Wm. Johnson, having no fixed abode, and described as a . paperhanger, was charged with having unlawfully in his possession, in the Magpie and Stump, Fetter-lane, 140 counterfeit s hillings and 20 counterfeit half-crowns, with intent to utter the same, knowing them to be counterfeit. Mr. Pollard, from the. Treasury Solicitor's office, appeared to prosecute on behalf of the Mint autho rities. Mr. Jas. Brennan, formerly an inspector in the G division, said—From information I received I went on Friday morning to Fetter-lane, in com pany with Inspector Bryant, Sergeants Brennan and Evans, and Police-constable Elliot. We placed ourselves in a position to command a view of the Magpie and Stump publichouse, and re mained there until half-past two o'clock in the afternoon, when I saw the prisoner, and pointed him out to Inspector Bryant and Sergeant Brennan, who immediately rushed upon him as he was enter ing the Magpie and Stump. I followed, and on get ting in front of the bar I found a great malty per sons there, nearly all of whom were known to me as persons in the habit of purchasing base coin. They were evidently waiting for the prisoner, so I pushed him into the back yard, and placed a couple of constables to guard the door, and keep back the mob of persons who followed us. I then searched the prisoner, and took from his coat pocket a canvas bag ; but as I was drawing it out it ope ned, and a number of paper packages fell from it to the ground. I picked up six of them, containing ten bad shillings in each of five of them, and ten bad half-crowns in the other. I then said to him, " I have received instructions from the solicitor of t he Mint to watch your proceedings, and I believe y ou are dealing in counterfeit coin." He replied, " 3 Ir. Brennan, I believe I have some kind friend, the same as I had before, but you are no friend to, us, however." He was then taken to the station, where he refused his address. Inspector Bryant, of the G division, said-1 - saw the packages drop from the bag. I picked up -four, one containing ten bad half-crowns, and three *con taining ten bad shillings each. I searched the pri soner and found on him in good money, three shil lings, 17 sixpences, a threepenny piece, and lid. in copper money. Sergeant Brennan and Sergeant Evans corrobo rated the evidence of the former witnesses,andp.ro duced four packets containing ten bad shillings each, which they saw fall from the bag taken tsrem the prisoner's pockets. Two bad shillings were also found upon him. Police-constable Elliott, 104 G, said—l assisted in securing the prisoner, and while he was stru. g gling in the yard he kicked me on the leg and thre w me down. I did not see the packages fall, but I picked up two, each containing ten bad shillings. Mr. Pollard saiii i his was all the evidence, and he therefore asked that the prisoner might be com mitted for trial. With regard to the Magpie and Stump, it was well-known to the police as the re sort of dealers in bad coin, and it was there that tl le bad money was distributed to the various persons who ultimately passed it into circulation, and h e therefore hoped that the attention of the licensing magistrates might be drawn to that house at the next meeting. Alderman Lawrence committed the prisoner for trial, and directedthe police to report the character of the house in question to the magistrates at the next licensing day. WORSHIP-STREET.—DanieI Grady, 35 years of age and of respectable appearance, was charged with violently assaulting his wife Mary, by throw ing her down a flight of stairs. Sergeant Williams, H division, said—The injured woman lies now at the London Hospital in a pre carious state. The assault in question was com mitted some days since, but it was not until last night that I heard of it. The brother-in-law of the prisoner then came to the station-house, and pro ducing a certificate from the house-surgeon of the hospital expressive of the severe injuries she had sustained, avowed his intention to take the matter up, as there was a witness to the fact of the as saults at this and preceding periods. I therefore sent a constable, who apprehended the prisoner at his own residence, 38, Great Manchester-street, Mile-end. Wm. Siward was then called, and deposed—Pri soner rents the house mentioned, and I lodge with him. He is a tailor. On the evening of Mon day last I went home and perceived Mr.. Grady lying on a sofa in the sitting-room. She appeared in a state of extreme suffering, and replied to my inquiries that her husband had thr own her down a flight of stairs. He was in the house at that time, but not present. I retired to rest, and early on the following morning was awakened by loud screams in a woman's voice. I ran below and found him striking his wife with his clenched fist as she lay where I had left her. He had a lighted candle in his other hand. By the magistrate.—l prevented him from using further violence by dragging him away from her. He struck her two blows in my presence ; those Were 5 1,-c.-,141.. .11 h;..0 mzekt, apparently. He was quite sober. I have frequently known him beat her during the seven or eight months I have lodged there, and always fund her an industrious, amiable, and good wife to him. James Ames—l am a cigar manufacturer and a brother of Mrs. Grady. I prefer this charge against her husband. They have been married 12 years. During the first two or three months afterwards he beat ber repeatedly, and very unmercifully. I saw her at the hospital on Thursday last ; she was in bed and unable to move from injuries received in the spine. She declared that they arose from her husband having thrown her from the top to the bot tom of the stairs on Monday last. Both her eyes were yellow as from bruises and contusions. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Of course she will attend on a future occasion and give evidence of this assault ? Witness—Not so, sir. She declared she would not prosecute him ; but really this violence must not continue. Why, it was only on Sept. 26th last that he dragged her to the ground and cut her throat. Mr. D'Eyneourt—What ! cut her throat ? Witness—Yes, sir ; it was a mercy of Providence that she was not murdered ; there was a wound three inches in length. Theprisoner, who had listened to the narrative of his brutal conduct with a bold front but without uttering a word, was then remanded, the magistrate directing that a summons should issue against Mrs. Grady, to compel her attendance when sufficiently recovered. LAMBETH.—Henry Rutledge, a middle-aged man, of respectable appearance, who holds a lucra tive situation in Woolwich dockyard, was charged with creating a disturbance at the house 23, Lam beth-road, threatening the life of his daughter, and also to do personal violence to himself. It appeared that some years ago the prisoner, then a Protestant, had gone to Ireland, and, be coming acquainted with a Roman Catholic family, he changed his religion and married one of the daughters. Three children, two boys and a girl, were the fruits of the 'marriage; and the wife dying, the prisoner returned to England, leaving his children in the care of their maternal friends. About 14 months ago he wrote for the daughter, then 16 years of age, and also the youngest son ; and in one week after the daughter had been under his roof he, according to her solemn testimony, vio lated her person. At this time, however, the pri soner was married to a second wire, and, notwith standing her presence, his incestuous connexion with his daughter was carried on to Tuesday last. About 10 months ago this unfortunate girl wrote to aunt in Ireland, informing her of the abominable conduct of her father towards her, and requesting her to come to her rescue ; but the circumstances of the aunt did not enable her to come until about a month ago, when, strange to say., she did not take any steps to check the connexion or re move her niece from her wretched situation, though it appeared that the prisoner, not satisfied with his infamous behaviour, also frequently beat her in a most unmerciful manner. On Tuesday morning last the aunt had witnessed a scene with the pri soner and his daughter which had determined her in taking the latter away, and both aunt and niece, left the house and took a lodging in the Lambeth road. The prisoner having been inform ed of their residence, went there on Friday . evening, abused the aunt for the abduction of his daughter, and insisted on his child returning home. This she refused to do, upon whi ch the prisoner drew from his pocket a new and formidable weapon—a d eer -stalking knife,with a blade ten inches long, and a spring behind to prevent . it closing—a n d deliberately opening it, said to his daughter th a t h e bought it for the purpose, i . n the event of h er no t co nsenting to accompanying him home, to do for her and for himself. F ortunately a policeman was in the house, and the screams of the y oung woman and the landlady summoning him to the kitchen, where the scene took place, he secured th e p r i soner, the latter having, however, qui e tly c l ose d t h e knife and put it into his pocket before the constable reached him. Mr. Wontner cross-examined the daughter and aunt at length, and they admitted prisoner had much abused the Catholic religion, and with an oath de clared that neither himself nor his daughter should again enter a Catholic chapel ; though, in the face of this, the daughter declared her father accompa nied her to the Catholic chapel at Woolwich to hear mass celebrated so recently as Sunday last. The witness acknowl e d ge d here that on Monday last the prisoner had charged them with making away with or burning his Bible, and said that, if the Bible did not turn [up by the next morning, he should give his daughter a sound thrashing ; but neither knew anything about it. It was stated by the witnesses that the prisoner had been in the habit of having a sword by his bedside, and some times in his bed, nightly ; and, being a man of strong passion, he used extraordinary control over them. Mr. Wontner, in his address, denied the charge of incest, pointed out the extreme improbability of such an offence having been committed under the circumstances, and said that the whole charge ori ginated in consequence of his client having become a Protestant. Mr. :Norton, who took a very different view of the case , said he had watched narrowly the manner in which the witnesses gave their evidence, and felt bound. to say he believed them to have sp o k en th e truth. In the whole course of his experience as a magistrate he did not recollect a single case sur rounded with such extraordinary and revolting circumstances, and as it was one that required fur ther investigation he should remand the prisoner to a future day, without bail. The prisoner was remanded accordingly. WINNING JOCKEYS. Since the opening of the campaign at Lincoln, upwards of 200 race meetings have been held in the United Kingdom, and 1,503 races have been decided between the months of February and November. - Not less than 550 two year olds have made their debut this season, while 2,250 animals, from that age and upwards, have appeared in public. George Fordham is again at the head of the poll in the list of winning jockeys, and, notwithstand ing that he rides many pounds heavier than last season, he has beaten his 1857 score by four points. 84 was his score last year, and, as will be found below, he has this season " notched " 88 successes. Poor " Ben " Bray made it a nice thing last year with " the bant," and there was only a difference of two points between them. The accident, how ever, which the Northleach light weight sustained at Monmouth, put him out of the race, and his score, this season, is not quite half as great as at the close of the campaign of 1857. Bray's season has, however, been tolerably brilliant, for he num bers a Liverpool Cup, the Goodwood Stakes, and the Leamington Stakes amongst his triumphs. Fordham's " great things" are confined to a second for the Two Thousand Guineas, and success for the Northamptonshire Stakes, the Great Yorkshire Stakes, and the Gold Vase at Ascot. Wells, who is second to Fordham, in the present score, num bers, as all the world knows, some wonderful achievements—the Two Thousand, Derby, and Ascot Cup Challoner has run a good third, at 61, to Wells, and Luke Snowden is close up with the third at 57. The result appears to be as under : Fordham L 88) Wells (767 2 Challoner (61) L. Snowden (57) Ashmall has had a tolerable share of the sweets, and cannot quarrel with fortune that awarded him the One Thousand Guineas and the Oaks. Johnny Osborne's wins comprise the Goodwood and Doncaster Cups,--enough to satisfy any jockey of ordinary ambition •, and Plumb's score is consi derable, although it does not comprise anything greater than the Liverpool Autumn Cup. Sam Rogers's score is almost double Alfred Day's, the former standing at 30, and the latter at 16. " Sam" claims the July Stakes amongst his most porten tous 1858 deeds, but Alfred Day has experienced a somewhat barren season. Aldcroft has been rather scurvily treated by fortune, and the recollection of his third for the Derby, his dead heat, and subsequent defeat for the Oaks, and his second for the Leger, cannot be par ticularly pleasing. Flatman's most remarkable essays have been second on the first favourite for the Derby, and the piloting of Monarque for the Newmarket Handicap. piloting has gone a great pace; numbering only seven successful mqunts last year, he has left off this season at 37. Some of the jockeys' scores are " short and sweet," thus:—Britton has only been twice triumphant, but he rode the Cambridgeshire winner ; Withing ton, with the modest number of 16 wins, has con trived to put the Chester Cup to his account ; and Spreoty, the jockey of the French stable, " pulled off" but one event, but it was the City and Subur ban.—Sunday Times.
