SAWYER and STRANGE, of the London, Fleet street, having taken this department, feel it to b• but due to the public and to themselves to state the ar rangements by which they hope to secure the patronage of all c'asses of visitors to the Palace. In embarking upon this responsible under taking, they feel that their surest expectation of success rests on their henceforth rendering the REFRESH BENT DEPARTMENT a splendid and distinctive feature in he general attractions. Their first act, which has the sanction of the directors, will be to throw Open a series of magnific nt saloons in those localities of the Palace commanding the best views of the grounds the fountains, and the exatthite scenery of the eurroending country. It Is coned• ntly hoped that every class of the community visiting the Palace will find both their tastes and their purses consulted in the refreshment arrangements; for while the cuisine will contain everything that is recherche in the best English clubs, ample ' accommodation will be afforded to that large class who may Wish to study economy, and at the same time seek comfort. It will be the aim of the new proprietors to give the public as many facilities for enjoying the pleasures of the table as they could expect at the best houses of entertainment, either at the West Ynd or in the City. It is hoped that by a system of manage ment at once liberal and economic, the holders of season tickets and families will. be induced to avail themselves of the opportunities about to be afforded of dining well and cheaply. The arraneements for the general public must necessarily be of a very comprehensive character, and while the proprietors undertake to satisfy the most refined tastes, they will not neglect the more simple ones. By a judicious blending of the English with the foreien forms of the culi nary a•t they hope to make the de artment worthy of that world wide patronage which is bestowed on the Palace itsel . A novel feature will consist in the construction of a suite of smoking rooms, which will be of easy access from the refreshment saloons. The refreshments are now supplied by the new proprietors, but imme diate notice will be given of the completion of the larger arrange Thents.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY. For the Great Northern Handicap the Dupe was in demand at 10 to 1, and in most instances 8 t- 1 was the highest price offered against him. Bashi-Bazouk ap pears rather unsteady in the betting, and we do not think he woul,l have been supported at less odds than 16 to 1. 20 to 1 would have been taken about Prince of Denmark. 7to 1 was currently offered on the field for the Metropolitan Stake., and 100 to 7 was taken a time or two about Wouverinans. For the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, Cly iesdale was in force at 4to 1. For the Chester Cup 500 to 25 was taken about Blink Bonny, 450 to 10 about Saunterer, and 450 to 10 about Pelissier.

THE OBJECTION TO KELPIE AT CATTERIOK.— This matter cAused a good deal of interest at Newmarket, where Mr. Parr, we believe, took the opinion of some of the leading members of the Turf upon it. The nominator of the horse for the Two Year Old Easby Triennial, it appears, was in default at the very place where the meeting was held, but no objection to Kelpie was made until shortly before the race, whereas the 27th rule stipulates that notice of forfeits due must be made by 10 o'clock in the evening preceding the day of running. THE DISPUTED RACE AT RICEISIOND.— During the Craven Meeting, Admiral Rous, ou the question being submitted to him, decided that St. Clair, the winner of the Borough Handicap, was disqualified from being entered in consequence of being in the forfeit list, for arrears, the subsequent payment of whits could not qualify him ; and all the bets on the horse are void. A RESPITE.—The day for the execution c.f John Bar wick f-r the murder of Maria B!ackmore, at Linton, in the north of Devon, was fixed for t..-day (Friday), at 9 o'clock in the morning, and the culprit's friends had taken their leave of him at the county gaol at Exeter. On Wednesday afternoon, however, a telegraphic message was recsived fromthe Home-office, respi ing the unhappy youth during her Majesty's pleasure. Very numerously signed petitions had been forwarded to the Home Secre tary (Walpole), praying for a commutation of the sen tence; and the majority of the jury who convicted Bar wick had also joined in the prayer of the petitioners, in consequence of which it is said the Royal clemency has been extended to the culprit. [ADVERTISEMENT]. — . Singular Cure. Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Mr. John Smithson, of Batley Carr, writes to!Professor Hclloway, March 9,1858, thus: Mr. Win. Walker and his wife, who reside at Batley Carr, were about seven years since thrown out of a gig. Mrs. Walker was severely injured about the legs ; after trying every medicine that could possibly be recom mended during the whole of that time, without the slightest amendment whatever, was at last induced to try Holloway's Ointment and Pills, these completely cured her in a few weeks, and she is now as well as ever she was in her life,—Sold by all medicine vendors throughout the world ; and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. NAVAL AND .1.a. - .ILITABY INTELLIGENCE. The examination of candidates for commis sions in the army by the Council of Military Edu cation, consisting of Major-Gen. Cameron (Vice- President), Major-Gen. Portlock, and Lieut.-Col. Addison, will take place at Burlingtonlouse on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday in the ensuing week. Yesterday a district court-martial, presided over by Lieut.-Col. J. H. Gascoigne, Royal Marine Light Infantry, was engaged at Chatham Barracks in the trial of a private of the 84th Regt., named John Dodd, on the serious charge of having struck Ser geant James Burton, of the same regiment, his superior officer, while in the execution of his duty. The prisoner, who has borne a very indifferent char acter since he has been in the corps, was complained against by the prosecutor, when he struck him a vio'ent blow in the face with his fist, for which of fence he is liable to transportation. On the conclu sion of the tr i,l the Court next proceeded to try Private George Birch, of the 29th Regintenl on a char ge o f d esert i on. The prisoner deserted' from the head-gnarters of his corp 3 while at Rangoon, Burmah, Aug. 29, 1857, and did Lot return until the 16th ult., when he was brought back to his depot at Chatham by military escort. The Court found both prisoners guilty, the sentences being forwarded to the Com man d er- i n-Chief for approval. ' The preparations for the launch of the large screw steamer Hero, 91, which will take place at Chatham Dockyard en Thursday afternoon next, are being carried forward on an extensive scale. In order to - atcommodatte a gr'eater' number, - the public will be freely admitted to any part of the dockyard where a view of the launch can be ob tained. The new Lords of the Admiralty pursued their equities at Portsmouth yesterday, but the visit was not the official one annually paid by the board, but was of a cursory character. Having finished their inspection on Thursday by their visits to the Marlborough, 131, Captain Lord F. R. Kerr, fit tiiig for the flag of Vice-Admiral Faesharve, 0.8., as Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean fleet; the Illustrioui training-ship, Capt. Robert Harris, yesterday morning, at half-past, 9 o'clock, the offi cial party re-entered the dockyard and resumed their labours under the escort of Rear-Admiral the Hon. George Grey, the superintendent of the esta blishment; Flag-Captain G. H. Seymour, C. 8., A.D. C. to the Queen ; Mr. Murray, Superinten dent Engineer ; Mr. Woods, C.E., Clerk of Works, &c. Coming to the docks, their attention was called, through the Right Hon. Mr. Corry, the principal secretary, to the unfinished state of the North Inlet Dock, ono so necessary to complete for the extension of dock ac c ommodation in this yard. It has proceeded to the extent only of the expenditure of about 14,0001., whereas 50,000/. would complete it; as it is, it is an apparent ruin and hindrance to other work. This structure was one of those left unfinished by Mr. Rolt. The great dock at the other end of the dockyard, about (350 feet long, is progressing rapidly in its c onstruction, and will speedily be completed. Mr. Smith, civil engineer, is constantly on the spot superintending the works, having taken those coutrac's for the Government which were entered up on b y the late Mr. Edmund Smith, of Woolwich. Th e only ships their lord ships went on board of were the three-decker Royal Sovereign, 131 ; and the Algiers, 91. This con cluded, their lordships partook of luncheon at the Admiralty-house, and afterwards embarked in the gunboat Stork for a trip to Spithead, with the in tention of visiting the Renown, Diadem, Curaqoa, and Racoon, or some of them ; but on account of the " heavy swell," they did not accomplish their object - , and returned to harbour content with a look at the ships and a salute for their flag, which the Stork carried. Vice-Admiral Martin was not on board, but remained in the dockyard transacting business. A little before 4 o'clock the prin cipal officials landed at the dockyard, and pro ceeded thence to London by the 4.25 express train, South-Western. The second battalion of the 4th (King's Own) Foot, from Newport, Monmouthshire, will proceed to Portsmouth Garrison in the early part of next week. The U field-battery of Artillery at Christchurch, Hants, will remove next week to Eases, Ports mouth, exchanging quarters with Captain Elgee's battery. Commander William Edward Henn Gennys, in specting commander of the Liverpool district of the coast-guard service, and third sou of Edmund Henn Gennys, Esq., of Whitleigh, Devon, died on the 3d inst., at Whitehav en. This gallant officer en tered the navy July 2, 1826. Commander Charles Leach, who died recently at Jersey, was a son of Abraham Leach, Esq., of Corstfin House, Pembrokeshire. He was born Sept. 12, 1800, and entered the navy June 23, 1814. The Louisa, steam gun boat, tender to the Pem broke, GO, screw guard ship, proceeded from Sheer ness on Wednesday, on a trial trip of her machinery after undergoing, repairs.

The report of the directors of this company for the year 1857 states that the amount of capital raised is 580,000/. The receipts on revenue account during the year 1857 amounted to 46,7511., includ ing 33,2551. from the railway, and 13,4971. from the boats, and the expenses to 28,6431., being 17,962/. for the railway, and 10,681/. for the boats, leaving a net profit of 18,1081. The increase in the receipts, as compared with 1856, amounted to 6,0831., or 15 per cent., and in the expenses to 4431., or llt par cent., leaving the increase in the profits 5,6401., or 45 per cent. The balance-sheet shows a profit of 14,108/. for 1857, out of which the directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 7 francs per share, leaving a balance to the credit of the reserve fund.

Simon Bernard was born, of respectable parents, at Carcasonne, in the year 1817. His family were attached to the liberal side of politics, and his mind were early imbued with their views. When arrived at the age when it was necessary to select a profession, he resolved to pursue that of me dicine ; instigated to this choice, it is believed by those who then knew him, by the conviction that he could thus render himself useful in alleviating human suffering. The auxiliary studies of the medical profession were ill-calculated to develop any tendency to hero-worship in a you i th of a re flecting turn of mind, whose first political le=sons had been learned in the school of French liberals, at a time when idges Napoleortiennes were rather in discredit, and when the Bourbons could inspire sio admiration for royalty. Bernard's first entry into active life was as as sistant surgeon on board a man-of-war. He was present at the attack on the fortress of San Juan d'Ulloa, and afterwards in the roads of Vera Cruz. He is represented as having displayed great tender ness for the wounded, and singular coolness while discharging his professional duties under heavy fire. He afterwards took part in the expedition to the Rio de la Plata, where the French encountered severe loss ; and there his services, although he had no patrons, procured for him the appointment of chief surgeon in the Uruguay fleet. He remained in Uruguay till peace was concluded with Rosas. The opportunities he bad of witnessing that chief's • abuse of power contributed materially toincrease the hatred of despotism instilled into him in his youth. On his return to France he finally abandoned the sea, and from that time began to take an active in terest in political discussions. He attached him self to what was known as the school of the The/au stere, that section of the Socialists who sought to work out the ideas of Fourier. The main differ ence between the St. Simonians and the Fourierists seems to consist in the former directing their atten tion chiefly to the phenomena of the natural dis tribution of property ; the latter, to those of its production. The most distinguished members of the former school were the Pereires and others who have generally ended by becoming speculators on the Bourse ; among the latter were many of the ablest elves of the Polytechnic School. The St Simoriian school early received the impression of a fantastic character from the hierarchical tendencies of Pere Enfantiu. The Fourierist has maintained a more rational character, but has branched out into an infinite multiplicity of sect.. In fact, Socialism iu France does not mean a definite poli tical or social creed, but simply a habit of regard ing social phenomena from a particular point of view. There are Christian Socialists and free thinking Socialists, republican Socialists and monarchical Socialists, peace-at-any-price Socialists and fighting Socialists. Bernard does not appear to have adopted implicitly the views of any of these subsections. He endeavoured to diveminate those opinions of all of them which were most in accordance with his own. For this task he was qualified by a rare faculty of quick apprehension and clear exposition. 4_. S, Ai yip ED 5, simple justice to say that during that time he has earned the esteem and affection of all who have come in contact with him. He was remarkable for assiduity in the discharge of his duties as a teacher ; for a general readiness to assist every one who stood in need of any services he could render ; for a high sense of honour, and scrupu lous punctuality in meeting his pecuniary obliga tions. As a private individual he was loved and respected. As a politician he has always, we have already remarked, stood alone, enrolling himself under the banners of no sect. It was in London that he first became acquainted with Orsini, and similarity of sentiments cemented a friendship be tween them. Situated as Dr. Bernard now is, it would 13.3 indecorous t o en t er a t present upon t h e discussion of the charges made against him ; but there can be no harm in stating the facts which we have n ow recor d e d, an d t h ey are the pure and simple truth. 211 ETROPOL1TAN BOARD OF WORKS. The board held their usual weekly meeting yes terday at Guildhall ; Mr. John Thwaites, the chair man of the board, presided. The general cash account showed a total general balance of 57,570/. 18s. Bd. THE MAIN DRAINAGE QUESTION. • The CHAIRMAN laid upon the table the reports of Bidder, Hawkesley, and l3azalgette, to whom the report of Messrs. S.mpson and Galton was referred. The report was directed to be circulated amongst the members, and ordered to ba taken into con sideration at a future meeting. Mr. Alderman Cuem, M.P., then, in pursuance of notice, moved :—" That measures be immedi ately adopted for carrying out so much of the work in extending the outlets of the sewers, as is recom mended by the engineer in his report presented to the board on the 19th of February last." The wore by alderman urged upon the beard the pro priety of adopting the measures contemplated in his motion, irrespective of the question of main drainage. Mr. - HowEs briefly seconded toe motion, which was opposed by Me s s r s. Dixon, Palmer, and Leslie, and supported by Mr. Alderman Humphery, Mr. Deputy Harrison, Mr. D'lffanger, and others. Anzendmen.s were moved, but eventually the motion was carried by 24 to 3. Tenders for works to be executed were thou sub mitted, and after some discussion as to the pro priety of executing the works in the Uxbridge road, the lowest tender for that work was accepted ; upon the opening of the tenders for works in Ber mondsey, it was moved " that the board resolve into a committee, and that the public be excluded." It was argued hat, by so doing, the respective merits of the contractozs tendering could be more fairly discussed. The motion was carried, and the Chairman intimated that repo: tars might remain, it being understood that they should not notice the dicus-ion carried on with closed doors. Mr. Hawkes, of Kensington, would not, however, tru s t the representati ves o f the press, and, consequently, although requested to stay by the Chairman, they left the meeting. On the readmission of the pubic, the other business transacted was merely of a routine character. ENGLISH AAD AMERICAN JOCKEYS. We take from an American paper the following remarks : Among the questions which have been the sub• ject of discuss.on with American Turfmen, since the commencement of the campaign which Mr. Ten Bromic instituted on the racing fields of England, is ono that embraces a comparison of the merits of American and English jockeys ; and we are bound to say, now that the first heat of the grand tourna ment is over, that opinion go es vas tl y i n f avour o f our foreign friends, against ourselves. In truth, practical observation was not requisite to the de cisiou of this question; for the least reflection would have settled the point in favour of the Eng lish rider. There is a law of Heaven--none better settled• in the experiences of man—that the highest rewards of proficiency and excellence are only to be paid to the most prolonged and patient effort. This 1 law was made and instituted on the day when onr first parents took their leave of Paradise, and it has 1 been ratified by man, in sweat and toil, and conse crated by God in the reward s w hi c h h e h as di s -. pensed upon those labours, through countless ages since. The English jockey is virtually born under a horse's belly ; he lives on his back ; he knows every hair in his hide, every bone in his frame, every trick and incination in his mind. He has no ambition but his cap and colours, and he is the servant of his master. He not only knows, by careful study, the rise, and fall, and curve of every track in the kingdom, and the peculiarities of all the rival racers he may chance to meet, but he knows—what, perhaps, is equally important—the characteristics and artifices of all the leading jockeys in the business. Moreover lie is continua.fly about the stable, continually making trials ; and in addi tion to riding a great number of races in every month, and perhaps, at every meeting. He is never in want of a mount, even in the winter, so long asgentlemen have a spare hunter in the stable, when getting up a steeplechase or a run after a fox. When a creature, thus disciplined, and forming a part almost of the animal he bestrides, comes up in line with thirty flashing coursers, thirty keen, quick-witted, artful fellows like himself, and contrives among them for the start, and for the " play " after the s-art is made, he is equal to the task not only of bringing f , rth all the speed his horse possesses, but of so managing hint in the race, and lauding him at the end, that he may win with the least expense of life, and with as small an advantage as safety will admit of. The English race is a game —more often a game of jockeys than a test of horses; and when an accom plished master of the art is in the saddle, public appreciation at once cot roborates his chances by a sensible alteration of the p: r-centages that follow his fortunes in the betting-book. An American jockey is a very different creature from an English one, and he rides in a very different style. If he be not a negro—as many of them are down south —he considers himself a sort of gentleman; and, after riding some half-dozen matches in a season, may, perhaps, lie fallow for a year or two, improv ing the interval by keeping a tavern, or, perhaps, alternating the excitements of the mount by open ing a roulette on the track, or indulging in a season tax two of `faro.' This kind of life and practice cannot compete with the Oevo . Con that lives, breathes, eats, drinks, and sleeps only in its profession ; and it would be a complete absurdity to expect equal excellence on our part from such wholly inadequate prepay ation. If the fibre of the English mind, on which these results are worked, were any inferior at the outset, we might possibly have point for argument in our favour; but we apprehend that the most vain of our countrymen will hardly claim any advantage in the way cf original, intellectual capital over a people who have been great in every way and walk since the dominion of the Cmsars.

A storm set in in the neighbourhood of Halifax on Tuesday night, and snow has continued to fall without inter mission up to the time at which we write (Thursday afternoon). Many of the roads in the country are blocked up, and the snow in the town is at least ono foot deep, except in the mist frequented Ihoroughfares. Such a fall of snow has not been witnessed in Halifax for some years. Between 12 and 1 o'clock on Thursday morning the temporary tuilding in the at ea near the Piece-hall, erected for the aceommodation of the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon and his he trees on the previous day, fell in with a t'euleudous crash. The benches, borrowed from various Sunday schools, were broken to pieces. The timbers employed in the erection of the struc ture were smashed and splintered, se that for future use they will be comparatively worthless, and the largo tent of the Halifax Horticultural Society, which formed the covering of the building, was rent into a thousand shreds. I; was fottuna'e, however, that the accident happened when it did, for had it taken place about three hours earlier, when Mr. Spurgeon was concluding his evening service, no doubt scores of people would have been injured. The fall of the building was caused, it is supposed, by the large masses of snow collected on the roof. Mr. Spurgeon himself was detained by the snow on his journey from Halifax to Loudon, where ho was announced to preach on Thursday evening. The rev. gentleman reached his chapel, however, shortly after the hour appointed for the commencement of the service, and explained the cause of the delay.—Manchester Guardian. THE ATTACK ON A S )LICITOR AT NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE. On Thursday afternoon the police-court, Newcastle ou-Tyne, was crowded to hear the examination of Mr. Frederick Swan Todd, bottle manufacturer, charged with cutting and wounding Mr. G. T. Gibson, solicitor, with intent to do him some serious bodily harm The occurrence took place on the 24th March, but the priso ner has been so ill in gaol ever since that he was not in a condition to be brought into court until Thursday. Mr. Gibson, whose head is still bandaged ap, appears to have suffered very seriously from the attack made upon him, and looked very weak and exhausted. He had to be accommodated with a seat while he was giving his evidence. The facts of the case, as de teiletrin evidence, were as follow :—Mr. Todd, who is of an old family in the town, had been the proprietor of extensive bottle works at St. Laurence and at the Close , gate. Mr. Gibson bad on several occasions done busi ness for him, but was not his solicitor. Last year he had discounted two bills for him and some other parties, and in D, , cetnber of last year he had brought an action against the whole of the parties, and had obtained j,idgment against the m . O no of them had gone to gaol, upon which, according to his evidence, Mr. Gibson had discovered for the first time that Mr. Todd was irre trievably inselveat ; in fac! - , that his liabilities would amount to at lea t G 0,0001., but that his assets were very small. Some Scotch creditors had taken pos , session of the St. Laurence Bsttle Works, and Mr. Gibson, learning that there were other judgmental out, had made an entry upon the Close-gate Works on March 10. Todd had sought to induce him to withdraw the bill of sale, and Mr. Gibson had expressed his will ingness to do so upon Mr. Todd promising to get the name of a party to a bill, which Mr. Gibson promised to take at 12 mouths. Mr. Todd failed to do so ; and the stock was sold by auction on the 22d March. On the night of the 24th March Mr. Gibson had to leave New castle by the mail train for Barnsley, in which town he had to attend a meeting next day, and was expected at his office a little before 10 at night, to finish a letter which had to be despatched that night. Mr. Edward. W. Hardy, Mr. Gibson's managing clerk, and another clerk named Banks, were therefore kept in the premises. About half-past nine Mr. Todd and his wife came to this offices, which are in Bank-buildings, Mosley street, and finding Mr. Hardy in, Mr. Todd said she hardly ex pected to find him there, and asked for Mr. Gibson. Mr. Hardy replied that he was not then in, but that he might be expected in a few minutes, and desired him and his wife to sit down. Mr. Gibson reached the offices about ten minutes to ten, and entering Hardy's, he saw Mr. and Mrs. Todd waiting. Todd rose from his seat and said, "I want to see you, Gibson. Mr. Gibson replied, Wait a minute or two and I will speak to you, as I must n letter to catch post." Mr. Gibson there upon went out of Hardy's office, and proceeding along the passage passed into his own private room. In or der not to be disturbed, he fastened the d oor writing g nd he eat down t o hi s his letter.

Mr. Gibson was sitting with his back to the door when Mr. Todd came into Banks office, having 1, ft Hardy and Mrs. Todd sitting in Hardy's Ho carried his hat in his band, in which it is alleged he had a large desert knife. He said he wanted to speak to Mr. Gibson, and entered his room by the private door. Mr. Gibson, hearing footsteps at his back, lifted his head up from the desk, and observed Mr. Todd enter the room. Todd said, "I want to speak to you." He replied, " Wait a minute ;" but oberving that he ap proached hier with his right arm elevated, as if he were going to strike him, and seeing something like a knife glistening in Todd's band, he changed his position, and raised up his arm to defend himself, but in A moment he received a fearful stab in the back part of his head. The stab, it is alleged, if it had been struck an inch lower down would have killed Mr. Gibson on the spot. Mr. Gibson jumped np and attempted to get hold of Mr. Todd, but he latter, exclaiming, " I'll kill you, I'll kill you," stabbedh i m him again, holding by the left hand and stabbing ivAs with the right ; and in the struggle Mr. M lle clerks and stabbed either three or four times. , " Banks Banks 1" " Help help !

The solicitor, Mr. Hodge, who defended him, did not impute any harsh treatment by Mr. Gibson in law matters, neither could he deny the attack ; but ho stated that it had been made while Mr. Todd Was in a state of temporary insanity, occasioned by the utterly dilapidated state of his affairs. The bench decided to send Mr. Todd for trial on the charge of cutting and wounding Mr. Gibson, with intent to do bodily harm. Mr. Hodge asked the bench if they would take bail. The bench determined n o t t o t a k e b ail, leaving it with the prisoner's solicitor to apply for a judge's order. A first dividend of 4s. in the pound has been an nounced on the estate of Messrs.
