SPORTING NOTES. AGRICULTURE IN THE PUNJAUB. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. The state of agriculture, the prospects of tea planting, of flax cultivation, and the development of the resources of the Punjaub generally, is a sub ject of paramount importance. Some years ago the Punjaub Agricultural Society instituted a series of inquiries regarding the state. and practice of agriculture in that country. The result of the inquiries proved that with the excep tion of Rawulpindee, the countries Trans-Indus, and the hill districts of Kote Kangra and Simla, the face of the country was one uniformly level plain, varied only by depressions several miles in length, forming the five rivers which flow through the plains and unite in Scinde. These low lands are full of fine alluvial deposit, and are enriched by par tial inundations every year. They are tracts of great natural fertility, and abundance of the best water for irrigation is obtained a very few feet from the surface. The ground between one basin and the other of adjoining rivers is higher by several feet, and comparatively dry and unproduc tive. Portions toward the south are either not cul tivated at all, or are barren and covered with jungle and sandy waste, yet the soil is friable, and has for the most part a fair admixture of loam and sand, requiring the command of water only to fit it for the highest cultivation. Nearing the hills, and eastward of a line drawn from the point of junction of the Sutlej and Beas rivers through Umritsir, Wuzecrabad, and Jhelum, the whole surface is a scene of uninterrupted fertility and richness, to the base of the lolyest range of hills which bound the plains of the north-east. The cultivated products of the countries, though such differences exist in the levels of the surface, are much the same in all. Wheat, barley, sugar-cane, maize, and millet, are the staples of the whole country, with some cotton, hemp, tobacco, pulses, and vegetables of several sorts. _ _ _ Tie sport of last week was of the most attractive charac ter. The withdrawal of Dundee, however, from the Clear well and Prendergast Stakes deprived them of the interest which would otherwise have attached to them. Mr. Merry, however, had a good represcntatve in Folkestone, who had no difficulty in cutting down thi moderate lot op posed to him in the Clearwell Stakes; but he was unsuc cessful in the Prendergast Stakes with the Phemy colt, who had to succumb to Preceptross by a aead. Mr. Merry has now two good strings to his bow for text year's Derby, in Folkestone and Dundee, and I would not bo surprised if Folkestone should turn out the Lest on the eventful day. However, those who back them at present are sure to have rare hedging during the winter, as they are both sure to see a short price. Three came to the post for the 100 Sovs Sweepstakes, and Sir J. Hawley's Venus filly was made a rattling favourite with 6t04 on her. Sae, however, in no way justified such odds, for she compounded the moment she was collared, and Roesia, the extreme outsider in the betting, won by three-quarters of a length from Eda, the favourite being at least four lengths behind them. Roesia is engaged in the Cambridgeshire with the moderate weight of sst 71b, nearly 2st less than Dulcibella, and no doubt will give the winner of the Cesarowitch some trouble. There were only 27 starters for the Cesarewitch, being the smallest field we have had for sonie time.

They got away at the first attempt, the front division being composed of Moorcock, Killigrew, Optimist, Dulci bella, Heiress, Plumper, Lady Trespass, Ben Webster, The Prophet, Golden Pippin, and .*ix William; whilst the middle and hinder lot consisteeOf Stapleton, Viatka, The Alderman, Newcastle, Cape Flyaway, Comforter, Rising Sun, Ancient Briton, Feodorowna, Mavourneen, Barabbas, and Glendinning. When they had settled into their places the running was taken up at a good pace by Moorcock, Killigrew going at his side, Dulcibella, Heiress, Lady Tres. prss, and Golden Pippin being in close order. They ran thus to the Ditch Gap, where Dulcibella, full of running, and pulling hard, rushed to the front, and on passing the bushes Golden Pippin was beaten, and only five were actu ally in the race—viz., Dulcibella, Optimist, Moorcock, Heiress, and Lady Trespass. About half-way up the hill Sadler took a pull at Dulcibella, but midway between the cords she shot out, quitted her horses at every stride, and won in the commonest of canters by tea lengths. There was a length and a half between the second and third horses. Moorcock was a tolerable fourth, and Lady Tres pass fifth. Ben Webster, Cape Flyaway, Feodorowna, and Plumper headed the next lot. The last trio consisted of Viatka, Starke, and The Prophet. Fortune again smiled on my selection. On Monday last I wrote as follows :—" To choose between such a lot of animals as these enumerated is no easy matter. Those that I expect the winner to spring from are COAIFORTEE, OPTIMIST, 'HEIRESS, DUI, CIBELLA, MAVOURNEEN, and SIGNET." From the above it will be seen that in my lot against the field I had the good luck to name the first, second, and third horses, two of them being at 20 to 1 when I made my prophecy. Of course the result of the race had a material effect on the betting for the Cambridgeshire, as little as 4 to 1 being taken about the winner. A LBERT and, MEDICAL LIFE ASSURANCE -La.

The winner is by Voltigeur out of Priestess (winner of the Northamptonshire Stakes ten years ago), and was bred by Lord William Powlett, who gave William Day £6OO for Traducer in the spring, and "threw in" Dulcibella besides, contrary to the advice of Sam Rogers, who wished his lordship to run the latter for the Queen's Plate at Epsom on the Thursday, and for the Oaks on the follow ing day ! The Cesarewitch is remarkable for surprises of this nature, Weathergage, a cast-off, having won in 1852, whilst last year it was carried off by Artless, a selling plater I Dulcibella is not so bad a winner for the Ring as might be expected, although the stable commission will take a large sure out of it. In addition to Mr. W. Day and Mr. Parker, both of whom win great stakes—Mr. D., on dit, nearly £ls,ooo—Mr. F. Swindell, Mr. Armstrong, Mr. J. Bennett, Mr. Ashworth, and Mr. Reeve are the chief winners amongst the bookmakers ; and of the " upper ten thousand," though most of the gentle men "got through," the only stakes reported to be won are by a noble Hampshire lord, and one or two Dorsetshire gentlemen connected with the Woodyates stable. Book makers were uncommonly shy of making an offer against Dulcibella for the Cambridgeshire, for which her weight, including 71b penalty for winning the Cesarewitch, is 7st 31b—she thus meets Optimist on 51b and Heiress on 51b worse terms 1 Of the 27 starters, 18 are in the shorter race, and the following is a comparison of their respective weights in each : CESAREWITCI.

She is, however, meeting Sir William on 91b worse terms, and the latter had better be kept on the right side. Tho remaining handicaps afforded one or two Cambridgeshire horses an opportunity of dis playing a respectable form, and Moorcock's victory in the Handicap Plate over the mile and a quarter on Thursday would have brought him to 10 to 1 had he not started for the Cesarewitch ; as to beat Gladiolus at 31b and Gallus at 91b was a great performance, for it showed him to be quite the equal of the pair at about even weights, and it will take a veritable " flyer " to beat his Cesarewitch conqueror, Dulcibella, in the Cambridgeshire. Thunderbolt's easy victory over Buccaneer brought him prominently into notice, and as little as 14 to 1 was taken about him. To select a lot thus early is a difficult matter, but the winner may turn up in the following :—Cantine, Madlle. Chantilly, Dulcibella, Thunderbolt, Sir William, Gridiron, Brassey, Heiress, Rosoia, Precise, and John Osborne and Ten Broeck's representatives. There will be a good meeting at Lewes on Wednesday, but the events to be decided call for no particular notice. A FRESH MAN. Oct. 13. We will not now allude to the modes of culti vation adopted by the natives ; our object is to refer to the report of the Punjaub Government on the improvement which has lately taken place in the cultivation and preparation of carol. The mutiny seriously affected some portions of the country ; several villages were entirely destroyed, others partially or wholly deserted, and for a time the fields were left untilled. But matters soon re turned to the state they were in before the troubles. The villagers flocked back to their residences, the plough was at its wonted work again, and cultiva tion began to extend beyond its former boundaries and to encroaeh on the jungles. The report states in one diAriet,_Goozerat alone, close upon eleven thousand acres of jungle have been brought under the plough during the past year ; in Per gunnah Taran Taran of the Umritsnr district, there has been an increase of cultivation of upwards of five thousand acres. Oil seeds have lately formed an object of cultiva tion, particularly in the Ferozepore and Mooltan district ; it is grown not for home trade, but for export to Kurrachee, where the demand is appa rently increasing. The growth of tea at Holta, in the Kangra district, need only be mentioned. Cot ton seems to flourish in the sub-montane dis tricts, such as Umballa, Hoskearpore, Goozerat, and Peshawur. Flax has also been introduced and grown abundantly. Aboricalture has been carried on with some vigour in the districts of La hore, Googranwalla, and Goordaspore, where an aggregate of near 150,000 trees has been planted by the district officers. It is gratifying to hear that the natives are beginning to take au interest in the cultivation of trees, several new groves of mangoe and other useful trees having been planted by the zemindars in the Trans and Cis Sutlej States. The Punjaub has always been noted for the absence of trees of large growth; this is owing to two causes, the appropriation of saplings for purposes of build ing during the Sikh rule, and also to the devasta tion caused to groves and trees wherever found, by ' contending armies, before the annexation of the country by theßritish. Efforts have for many years been made to re-place the forest once existing, and encouragement in rewards and titles have been held out by the administration to all who will plant a grove or assist in improving the irrigation of the country. The happiest results have followed these efforts, and the most encouraging is now re corded in the report, that the zemindars are lend ing their aid to the good cause. The destruction of forests is said to cause a cessa tion, or a very considerable diminution, in the fall of rain in a locality. We may suppose, on the same argument, that an increase of tree cultivation will increase the fall of rain in a locality where before the rain fell but seldom. The fall of rain in the Punjaub is exceedingly small. We learn from the report that during the past six years the greatest annual fall was twenty-six inches in 1856, and the smallest, eighteen inches, in 1857. It is to be hoped that the anticipated result from the planting of trees will be realised, by which means the labours of the husbandman will be greatly assisted, and his dependence on well-irrigation diminished. The introduction of canal irrigation more generally than was the case during tilt Sikh domination has been a great assistance to the cultivator, and has brought a vast amount of land under the plough which had hitherto been lying fallow.—Front the North-West Gazette. The Christiania Morning Gazette (Morgenblaclet) of the 2d October, reports from the Irontsoe Mercantile Gazette (Stiftsticlente), the following important geographical disco very :—" These who have a knowledge of the charts of Spitzbergen, will have observed that the firth or sound, being nearly 20 Norwegian miles in length, stretches from the north to the south, and for the greaterpart divides that island. It is commonly called Stotlorden,' or the great firth, but older descriptions call it Wibeland's Water (a name, I think, given by the Dutch). All the charts which I have seen indicate that there exists no outlet from the head of the said firth in any direction. That this is the case has also hitherto been the general belief of the seafar ing people of Fimnark who annually visit Spitzbergen. In this year, however, two or more vessels of this place had sailed onward and back through a sound going out from the head of the said firth in an easterly direction, having thus, without any difficulty, reached the eastern coast of Spitzbergen, which is generally thought to be the richest fishing ground, though in the course of this summer it has not proved so. The sound is narrow, as is also the north end of the' Storfjorden' itself, hardly a stonecast in width. CA strong current runs through it, which however, is by no means dangerous either to vessels or to boats. The navi gation this season to Spitzbergen has not yet entirely dis continued, as all the vessels had not returned. The catch hardly surpasses an average year ; so far, therefore, the new passage has been without a practical result." " Tromsoe, Sept. 20 . — Spitzbergen, by its seal and walrus fisheries, as well as its bear hunting, becomes year by year of greater importance to this place, and as there is generally a great complaint among the seamen about the lack of a reliable chart of those regions, it would be desirable if our Govern ment would cheese to send out an expedition in order t 9 remedy this great want." ST. GEORGE'S IN 7HE EAST. Yesterday the services at the church of St. George-in-the-East were conducted with compara tively little interruption upon the whole, although after the conclusion of that in the evening there was a disturbance within the church which, occur ring in any other religious edifice, would have been considered disgraceful. At intervals, during the morning ',service, a small group of persons, well known for the opposition they have all along waged to the rector's mode of conducting the services, ren dered themselves so conspicuous by the energy with which they read the responses and by their derisive coughing, that Mr. Compton, one of the sidesmen charged with the duty of maintaining order within the church, marked the ringleaders among them, one being a young woman, with a view, it is said, to a charge in the neighbouring police court. At the evening service the precaution of closing the galleries to the public was again had recourse to, and with a satisfactory result, for it tends to bring the whole congregation, and especially the njsorderly portion of it, more within the view of those on whom the duty . de volves of maintaining something iike decorum in a place where that has been long unknown. On the doors being opened the church was speedily filled with the usual mixed multitude, composed princi pally of young men and women, who took posses sion of the pews indiscriminately, and whose demea nour was marked by the customary excitement. It required but small powers to perceive that few were there for any other purpose than vague curio sity, and that there was, as there has ever been since the disturbances began, a marked absence of the class of grown-up people, accompanied by their families, who usually attend the church of the parish in which they reside. Except perhaps the rector's and the churchwardens' pews, anything like a pro prietary right in a sitting in the church appears for the present in abeyance, and the whole place is as much common ground as the greatest stiekler for free sittings in churches could desire. The Rev. Mr. Hansard, who has the provisional care of the parish, read the prayers and lessons ; and an extempore sermon, which had for its object to inculcate the idea of the all-pervading love of God, was afterwards preached by the Rev. Francis Garden, M.A., Sub- Dean of the Chapel Royal, Whitehall. Now and then there was an attempt, during the devotional part of the service, and at the conclusion of the les sons, to provoke a general cough, by a handful of ill-mannered people, apparently acting in concert, who had contrived to seat themselves together in front of the reading desk, but it was a comparative failure, a better feeling pervading the general body of the congregation. The sern ion was attentivel listened to throughout. Among t he congregationy was no less distinguished a per son than the .Chan cellorte of the Exchequer, who °coupled atseateeien h clu churchwardens' pew.

The following ane cdote has been related, because it shows that the Imperial edicts are expected by the people with an impatioace which is almost ungovernable.

The latter, who in 1690 emigrated to Austria from the Prin cipality of Servia, always claimed and long enjoyed complete autonomy, though their right to it was disputed by the Hungarian Diet. Rather less than a century ago the Hungarians endeavoured to amalgamate the Servians with themselves, but the latter, not liking the process, applied for protection to the Empress Maria Theresa, who readily pro mised it. Her Majesty kept her word, inasmuch as she would not allow the Hungarians to oppress the Servians, but she gradually introduced the Aus trian regime into the Voivodina. The National Congress for the election of the Metropolitan, and for the regulation of ecclesiastical and scholastic matters met from timeeto time, but the Servians were dissatisf?ed with the protection accorded, be cause it deprived them of all freedom of action. In older times the Patriarchs always acted as Presi dents of the National Congress, but tZie Empress Maria Theresa thought fit to place commiszaries of her appointing in the chair. While the Emperors Joseph 11. and Leopold 11. were on the throne Na tional Congresses were held, but since that time all the special rights and privileges of the Servians have been in abeyance. They will now be partially restored, in order that the Servians in the Vojvo dina may object to the reunion of that province with Hungary. The expression, " Illyrian National Con gress," is likely to be frequently used in my corre spondence, and it may therefore be well to state that the word " Illyrian" must be understood to mean the non-united Greeks inhabiting the pro vinces which formerly belonged to the Hungarian Crown. The words " Illyrian National Congress" makes a good appearance on paper, and produce no disagreeable impression on the ear, but they mean very little, as the Assembly is only what is here called a " consultative" body. The relations be tween the Hungarians and Croatians are already very intimate, and the POZOn an independent paper, which is published at Agram, in the Slavonic lan guage, recommends the two nationalities to defend their common rights against any foreign (German ?) element. So many arrests are now made in Venetia, the Southern Tyrol, Istria, and Hungary, that the inha bitants of those provinces are exceedingly excited,and some of them almost openly expresstheir resolve to try to get rid of such an " unbearable yoke" at the very first opportunity. Hardly a day passes without political prisoners being sent by railroad to Bohe mia, and last week no fewer than 40 persons arrived at the fortress of Josephstad in the course of 24 hours. On the 9th inst. several students were arrested at Pesth, and at once removed to some other part of the empire ; Count Edward Carolyi, the cousin of Count Louis Carolyi, who for the moment is Austrian Charge d'Affaires in London, was a few days ago arrested at Salzburg, while on his way home from Ostend. Three per sons were to have been arrested in the Szolnok County (Hungary), but when the police arrived they found that their expected prey had escaped. Some days ago a special messenger was sent with despatches to General St. Quentin, the Governor of the Temesch Banat and Voivodina, and it is be lieved that he has received powers to place these provinces in a state of siege should it appear ad visable so to do. Persons coming from the Banat ' say that the position of the German employes and military men is almost untenable. Some days ago you were informed that traces of a conspiracy, which has ramifications in the Southern Tyrol, Istria, and Hungary, has been discovered in Vene tia, and it now appears that the Government is in possession of papers containing the names of the persons who were to have taken the lead at the out break of a revolution. The papers in question are said to have been found in the possession of a per son who was arrested on suspicion of being a Pied montese agent. During the night of the 3d inst. a foreigner shot himself at Venice, and the people at once came to the conclusion that he was an agent of Garibaldi, and had taken his own life in order to escape the police who were in pursuit of him. There is again a question of a Congress for the settlement of the Italian question, but this Gov ern ment will hardly be a party to it, unless it is pre viously agreed that the right of Austria to retain possession of Venetia shall not be called in question by any of the Powers. Indeed, it is not very pro bable that the Emperor Francis Joseph will autho rise any one of his Ministers to sit down at the same council-table with Count Cavour, who is 'here considered the most perfidious of diplomatists. Tie fortifications are completed at Malamocco,, and the Austrian engineers are now of opinion that Venice will be able to hold her own against any force which Victor Emmanuel and Garibaldi can bring against her. In the local papers it is stated that England is bargaining with Austria for a naval station in the Adriatic, but I am not inclined to attach much importance o the intelligence.. It is, however, an indisputable fact that the relations between England and Austria are improving: Her Majesty, the Queen, who quitted Coburg- this morning, is said to have been much offended that her yacht, the Fairy, was detained at Colognes by the Prussian authorities. The Custom -house offi cers at Cologne wanted to go on board the vessel, but her captain declined to accept the 011101.1 n go be as he was not inclined to let her Maio_tf a l t m a r ence , turned upside down.

A writer in a contemporary says—Those persona' ) who have agreed in favour of the construction of these vessels have done so, I believe, from a limited knowledge of the effect which can be produced by heavy rifled cannon, Mr. Whitworth's 80-pounder, the 'largest hitherto co nstructed, showin g resul ts ,little, if at all, superior to those produced by a 68. i lino nder service gun ; wh ile, if we ma y j ud g e from tho letter of an Artillery officer which appeared in. the Mechanics' Magazine last week, all Armstrong of a larger size than 40-pounders are unsafe. N 'withstanding that my opinion may be op pos to that of many na•Fal officers of great weight d experience in their profession, I am neverthe less convinced that an iron• cased ship (unless her plates were of a thickness utterly to preclude the possibility of her being a seagoing ship) might be destroyed from shore batteries, large frigates, or gunboats at distances at which Ole could be hit with any degree of certainty, say two or three thou sand yards, and with guns very little, if at all , heavier than the service 68-pounder gu'n. Government will find the money I ‘,711 If .1 engage to furnish them with g nns-und p roj ectiles which shall penet ra t e the sides of a vessel cased with. iron plates 4' inch es thishow is no vain boast, I will explain dne. I t proved that a 681b ' shot of wrought iron will penetrate a4' -inc h iron plate with facility within the distance of lO yards, lBo the initial velocity the et theory e e s econd. e d f . of the shot being less th an Those who know anything o f pro jectile force will be aware that a shot of 1701 b. weight, striking an object with a velocity of 1, 100 feet a second, wou ld have a p ene t r ating power quite equal to that if the 681 b. sho t , while the general effect of the blow would be enormously greater. That a projectile of 1701 b. weight may without difficulty be fired with the above-mentioned velocity was proved beyond a doubt the other day at Shoe buryness, when, from a rifled gun, an elongated projectile of 1741 b. weight was fired with a mean. velocity of 1,200 feet a second to a distance of 2,126 yards, the time of flight being 5.31 seconds ; while the mean velocity of flight in a range of more than 10,000 yards was as much as about 1,100 feet a second. According to the ordinary method of calculation, therefore, this shot should penetrate an iron plate ! at almost any distance within its range with the some facility as would a 681 b. shot at a distance of 100 yards. It would really do so, however, with e - y o,Ti greater facility. Ni? iron-cased ship could come within the range of gays similar to the one I have referred to with out the risk of destruction, unless, as I remarked, the plate's of iron were so thick as to render the vessel an ,inert, floating mass, such as might pro bably be Er yailabl e for coast defences, but for no other purpose.. Vessels of this description, indeed, if armed with 1 : - .1ie above kind of guu, would pro bably be the mist formidable kind of batteries which could be dev;!sed: With respect to 6 . 2 e angular plates which have lately attracted some notice, I would observe that their efficiency in prevoiting the penetration of shot must depend upon the relative position of the guns which are brought to , i i ear against them. If a vessel constructed with angular plates were op posed to a battery high above the level of the water, or to another vessel which earrl . .id her guns high, the object of having the plates in. a sloping posi tion would be defeated. There is no royal road to a knowledge of these matters, and so little is really known of them that the opinion of scarcely any individual at present is north listening to. A course of careful and sys terotic experiment is the only metho..l of arriving knowledge of the subject, and until certain at an v thi s t ie done all argument upon it must be a mere waste of time. THE LOSS OF THE STEADIER ARCTIC.. MR. sHER:.IDAN KNOWLES DROWNED. We have already recorded the loss of the screw steamier Arctic in the Baltic. A telegram received by the owner' gives the following list' Pf the drowned :—Of the crew — Turnbull (the mate), Laere.raek (steward), Smith and Neal (firemen), and Birkman stewardess). Passengers —, Mr. Sheridan Knowles (draniNjat), Miss Reading, and Mrs. Butterworth and child. The owners have also received the following particulars from CaptaiLi Bowes, who, writing from llarborg, near Lemvig, Jutland, Oct. 6, says : " It is with feelings of the deepest regret that I have to announce to you the total loss of yelor fine steamer the Arctic, at this place, which happened urttier the following • circumstances :—I left Grimsby on Tue.sLiaY morning at six a.m., with a most favourable provoct of a fine passage, the wind being at S.W. It co,ntinued fine and moderate until Wednesday, the 3d ina.t., when at six a.m. sprung up a stiff breeze from tie so that the ship went pleasantly along. At noon, I found .by obser vation and sounding that she had made a good con. rse, she being then in lat. 56 deg. 14 min. N., and 25 fathoms' water, being from 80 to 90 miles from the mainland. At onnlmn• came , on a most terrific gale from the N.W., which catoed several heavy seas to break on board,which washed into tAho engine-room at the doors and bunker holes to such an er.r• tent that the fires were immediately extinguished. The, ship then be.came unmanageable, the wind blowing away everything it ,could catch hold of. All haxids were imme diately set to wo.rk with buckets, as we coulii not get any of the pumps to work,to try and bail it out, but the water gained on them, so .that by morning the engine-room was nearly full. Everytlibg was done by the officers ti.nd crew that could be done, but All was of no avail to save tin' , ves sel, for she drifted fast down before the gale on a lee shore. At eight a.m. the gale rather more moderate, tried to set the foretopsail, but it blew away, so that I could only get. two or three fore and aft sails set, which were not of much use. At 10 a.m., saw the land distgstt about 12 or 14 miles, then prepared the anchors, which were let go about seven or eight miles from the land, but she would not look at them. I then thought I would slip the cables and let her go aa high on the beach as possible, for the safety of all'on board, so I went down along with the mates to try and do so, but could not get the end adrift, and during the time I wag . down she struck on an outer reef with about feet on it, when she must have started some of her plates,for she immediately filled aft and began to settle down lu deep water. I rushed aft to try and get all from the cabin t',,o the fore end of the ship, it being then the safest place, but by A° time I got to the bridge a tremendous wave came on arta covered the stern, so that only four of the American gent le- , men escaped. Mr. Sheridan Knowles, Miss Reading, lkirg• Butterworth and child, and the stewardess, were drowned. We then all got to the foremast as quite k as possible, with the exception of Mr. Turnbull, the chief .ma te, named John Smith, who jumped overboas and was dro wned immediately. The mato was drowned in Ai and a fireman s cafbinto. ends were then 17 of us, crew and passengers , ft( ille ar re 4th P Z five in the maintop.
