Boys thus admitted are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught till they are 11 years of age. With the view t o secure the election of the most deserving cases, the Committe have from the first discouraged canvas sing, and they do not print any addresses of the subscribers. The voting papers contain a description of each case, as care fully investigated by the Committee, and with this informa tion the subscribers are able to judge for themselves as to those most eligible for free admission. This Home was opened in April, 1864. It was designed to take to the little ones whose charact r and circumstances disqualify the , n for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are those who, from neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and left to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish relief, and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who train their children in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, and must lead them to a life of crime and misery. There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of age to 10. There is room for nearly 100, and the Committee would joyfully see the Home filled at once ; they only wait for the necessary subscriptions. The Committee feel constrained to p'ead for those who cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they ask—ls it right to make a widow and her family paupers for life because one of them (the naughty boy of the family) runs wild in the streets and is beyond her control ? Is it kind to tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not hflp her to put one of them into a Home, but that they must ail go into "the house ?" Is it doing the best we can for the little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it doing to others as we would they should do unto us that when these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into the streets, or force them by ill-treatment to "run away," none of us shelf d be found to care for them, to speak a kindly word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe them ? Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's keeper ?" The necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi dent from the police statistics, which show that in London alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of age, have been apprehended for various offences, 79 of whom were convicted and punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too young to punish. though not too young to learn the beginnings of crime. On the other hand, there are numbers who, but for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli ance and self-help be permanent burdens to the State. The Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established to rescue the little ones, to save them from the prison on the one hand, and the workhouse on the other, end to endeavour to make them useful members of society. The daily routine of the Institution presents all the fea tures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones are cared for as children ; they have their regular meals, their suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement, and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every morning is devoted to seho , I work—reading, and writing, and ciphering, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional lessons in objects and other subjects. But they are also trained to work. As they must all. and that at a very early period in life, earn their living by the sweat of their brow, they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after noons are occupied with various industrial occupations— making brown paper bags for bankers, and white caper bags for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any who will buy them ; picking the coil for the mats, mending the c othes, &c, Some assist the master in the garden, digging, planting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By degrees they are being made useful in the hotve, scrubbing and sweeping, while the elder ones clean all the boots, 'knives, dm. In this way it is sought to fit them for an active working life. 2d. By payment of ss. a week, made quarterly in advance. All children must be under 10 years of age, at the time of admission. Those received on payment are admitted at any time as soon as approved by the Committee, Elections of children to be admitted free will take place as frequently as the increase in the annual subscriptions will admit, till the Home is full ; they will then be held periodi cally Forms of Application for the admission of children may be had at the Same, and of the Honorary Secretary, 4 >z-ivzoy - , , z Yt# 4l4 , . • ° s4 h , "'",\ I t t :\ ,, , , , k , * ( * \ :' ,Aw ..5 Y), )1 1. . , 11 , 111° ,f --. • . f ( 1 / 4 ~ , r N it , e, • • v&•• ri 6 ) 411.1 `•=7so lo' 1 1 " 40 M C. - ET -.

Duke of Beaufort and other distinguished sportsmen were very hearty in personal congratulations, and the episode was one which must still further strengthen the friendly relations between the two countries. Gladiateur has proved himself one of the best horses of modern times, and in winning the Two Thousand, Derby, and St. Leger, he has eclipsed West Australian by adding another splendid trophy in the• Grand Prize of Paris. Harry Grimshaw never rode a better race in his life, as he judged tho pace exquisitely, and brought up his horse in a style that esta blishes him as one of the finest horsemen of the age. As soon as the race was decided the crowd commenced to dis perse, and, owing to the departure of the t►ain, we are compelled to close our remarks, leaving the subjoined de tailed report to furnish more minute information: — The Municipal Stakes of 200 sous each, li ft ; for two-yr olds ; colts, Bst 1016; fillies, Bst 71b. lied House in, 5 fur, 152 yards. 4 subs.

The remainder ran in a body for a few hundred yards, when Crown Prince showed in front with Alberta as his immediate attendant. As they approached the distance, the majority of the large field became tailed off, but the position of the leaders was un disturbed, and though Grimshaw made strenuous efforts on Alberta he never could reach Crown Prince, who won easily by four lengths; a neck divided the second and third ; the Czar, who was eased at the Stand, was fourth, Hawkswell fifth, Callipolis sixth ; the last lot comprising Miss Harriette, Shamrock, and Acte3a, the latter walking in.

The preliminary canters and the march in Indian file in front of the Stand were watched with the greatest inte rest, and the excitement was at its greatest height when Mr. M'George conducted the field of horses to the start ing-point. So accustomed have the public baen to delays that the spectators were surprised when the signal was givin directly the competitors had got into their places, and the flag was lowered to an excellent start. After going a few strides Klarinska, with the Duke and Walcot, at once took up the running; Zambesi, Breadalbane, and Peeress heading the ruck, Gla diateur and Dux bringing up the rear. They ran thus along the stretch, but the Whitewall maro was fully two lengths in advance when they disap peared behind the hill. Upon reappearing in sight Klarin ska was still in front, The Duke going on second, Zambesi (who had taken third place upon Walcot's retirement) following, Peeress in close attendance upon Mr. Merry's colt, the rose jacket of Mr. Chaplin being distinguishable next, heading the ruck, conspicuous among which were Archimedes and Regalia ; four of the ragged lot, Heir-at- Barbarossa, Dux, and Red Earl dropping far astern. Approaching the mile-post The Duke drew up to Klarinska, and held a slight lead upon crossing the road, the remain der, headed by Peeress and Breadalbane, following in Indian file to the rifle butts, where Gladiateur improved his position, amidst a shout from the spectators of " The Frenchman's coming," he continued to draw forward stride by stride as they approached the Red House, where Peeress took second place, and at the half-mile post was in close attendance upon The Duke, and from this point Klarinska 'gradually dropped back, and Gladiateur became third, fol lowed round the bend by Breadalbane, Zambesi, Regalia, and Archimedes. Before fairly reaching the straight Peeress retired beaten, and The Duke, amidst great excitement, was joined by the Frenchman, Regalia taking third place, Archimedes and Breadalbane, next the rails, going on fourth and fifth. The Duke seemed without an effort before reaching the distance, and. Archimedes made a rush ; but directly Harry Grimshaw set the Frenchman going in earnest Archimedes was in trouble, and Regalia, therefore, became second, and raced to overhaul Gladiateur, who, however, came on, and won with the greatest ease by three lengths ; the Oaks winner beating Archimedes by three lengths ; The Duke, three lengths in rear of Lord Stam ford's horse, was fourth ; Breadalbane fifth, Sister to Ascham (who ran through a " beaten" lot at the finish) was sixth, Peeress seventh ; Klarinska, and Zambesi next, at wide intervals, followed by Heir-at-Law, Barbarossa, and Walcot, who finished in a cluster, the last two who came in with the crowd being Dux and Red Earl. After the race Mr. Graham, the owner of Regalia, lodged a protest against the stakes being paid over to Gladiateur until his mouth had undergone examination. Upon this the stewards of the meeting conferred with the stewards of the Jockey Club, and the latter authorities con firmed the decision which has already been published, ad verse to the owner of Regalia, and the matter may now be considered settled.

On Friday last two German young girls went together into the sea to bathe. They, however, advanced too far, and were observed by the people on shore to be in great want of assist ance. A young man, M. T ,of Liege, perceiv ing their danger, rushed forward to their assistance. He swam towards the spot where they were strug gling to keep themselves afloat, and was fortunate enough to reach them. But the young girls clung to him so fast that they paralysed his exertions. The gallant young man, however, made the most heroic efforts to snatch them from the dreadful fate which appeared at one time to be inevitable. At times compelled to break from their deathlike grip, in order to save himself from total destruction, the girls sunk again and again under the waters. He, however, as often raised them to the surface. The fearful struggle being observed from shore by thou sands of persons, two of the gardes des bains jumped into a boat and rowed out to the help of the drown ing party. Not a moment was to be lost, for the whole three were almost exhausted by their frantic efforts to keep themselves above the waves. They were dragged at length into the boat, one of the ladies having fainted away, whilst the other was for a time apparently insensible and powerless. M. T—, however, was the worst of the entire party, uncon scious of every one around him, and dreadfully scratched and torn by the efforts of the young ladies to cling to him. The young ladies were soon recovered. Not so the gallant rescuer, whose strength was entirely exhausted, and who was suf fering, in addition, from the quantity of salt water which he had swallowed. He was immediately conveyed to an apartment in the Kursaal, where he was attacked by a violent fever, which apparently indicated the approach of death. His parents were summoned by telegraph to his bedside, where already the chief physicians and the priest were found discharging their respective functions. One universal feeling of lamentation and anxiety per vaded the multitude that thronged around the place eager to learn the latest reports as to the condition of the patient, and all dancing and amusements were for that evening suspended at the Kursaal. On Saturday morning M. T— was considered a little better, but still faint hopes were entertained of hiii recovery. An eye-witness adds that, on the very evening of the day of this accident, and while M. T.— was lying prostrate, in the utmost danger of death, in consequence of his generous devotion to save the lives of others, the two young ladies whom he had saved were observed to promenade the digue amidst a numerous company, and to make themselves particularly remarkable by their bois terous gaiety and their romping behaviour. This unbecoming demeanour was made the subject of general comment." SUSPECTED POISONING OF A SHIP CAPTAIN AND HIS MATE AT SUNDERLAND.—On Tuesday George Edwards, a young man, was brought before the Sunderland magistrates on a charge of attempting to poison William Sings, master of the tbrigantine Balaklava, and his mate. The master and his mate sat down to tea made by the pri soner at six o'clock on Monday night, and observed some darkish substance floating in the teapot. Soon after tea they were seized with most violent retchings, and pro ceeded on shore for medical assistance. They did not re member where they got to, until they found themselves in the police station, suffering to all appearance from poison ing. A surgeon was sent for, and emetics administered. The rest of the crew who had coffee were not affected. The teapot was secured, and the prisoner was taken into cus tody. There was no reason assigned why the prisoner should have attempted to poison the captain. He was re manded in order that an analysis of the remaining contents of the teapot and the vomit might be made. COMMERCIAL MEN AND COMMERCIAL INNS.— Trusted by large firms with the whole conduct of their business in the part of the country that they travel over, receiving immense sums of money, and entirely be yond any direct control, they must be men of some merit. They have also, if they would see their advantages, plenty of opportunity of gathering practical information. My pre sent reason for troubling you is chiefly to add my small mite of evidence to the already pretty large stock that has from time to time been collecting against some of their pre vailing rules. Why should they be subject to the every day risk to their health of consuming at mid-day a pint of hotel wine? Yet it is so. Say a man is thrown into a town for an hour or, two in the middle of the day , and finds what a moret the natural men than n t wishes hat to seeare a he at should l his way to the inn and fill up time by getting a bit of dinner to makel dinner, himself ? Well, my traveller, on entering the house, sees enterspainted hoen room one ofw wherein n d doors r none " Commercial bagmen nia Ro y o Room," anventured uninvited. He finds a well la i d out table, and perhaps thferioepenarlaytigronnecatilnleg, and sit down called "waiting for dinner."anotherman They at one o'clock, the first in the room b e i ng M r. President, a nd our friend Mr. Vice, One has fi s h placed before him, performing exchange the other soup, and then say a leg of mutton and turkey, sweets, &c. Now, by their understood tariff of charges, whatever the dinner may be, the landlord can only charge 2s. each for it; so by a clumsy device, in order to pay the landlord for his outlay, they are expected and must order a pint of wine each. It happened to me the other day, under exactly similar circumstances, that I had topay 3s. for wine, 2s for dinner, and 3d to the waitress. Now, who likes to drink a pint of wine at such an hour, and then have to do business the whole afternoon ? By all means let those who do indulge as much as their inclination may suggest ; but why should young men going on the road for the first time and naturally overawed, be compelled to comply with such an absurd custom ? Then at bedtime, on the under standing that their bed is charged only Is., these commercial men are expected to consume at least a shilling's worth of spirits, &c. I know of no other class of men who drink a pint of wine at 1 o'clock ; and I do not think that bagmen, as a rule, come from a class who when at home have exten sive cellars at command. By all means, let the landlord be paid for what he provides ; but why charge so little, or why provide so liberally ? Besides, he defeats his object, as many men, being afraid to encounter such pulls upon their heads and purses, do not, when travelling, dine at all, but make up for lost time at a meat tea, which the landlord, by the same unwritten laws, must only charge is. 9d. for. When will landlords and travellers see that no one is a gainer by such customs ? Many, many a man turns out a drunkard in consequence, as the pint frequently becomes a bottle ; and on Sunday an extra expensive din ner requires an extra consumption of wine ; and so it goes on. The money spent on pints and bottles of wine, not to mention the spirits, during a 20 or 30 years' life on the road, must amount to a large sum, and partly accounts for the touching appeals to the commercial public that one so frequently sees stuck in commercial-room looking-glasses in behalf of the members of travellers' families who have been, by the father's death, left utterly unproVided for. In some few cases, and in some districts, there are " ordi naries," where no wine is expected to be drunk, and yet good dinners are provided ; and why should it not be so in all towns and commercial inns ? lam no teetotaller, and can drink a pint of wine or a pint of water at dinner, and would not trouble myself to write this or ask the favour of you to insert it, unless I thought it might perhaps do some good. Ido not like to see young fellows, new to the road, with red eyes and muddled brains, leaving midday dinners for a difficult afternoon's work. Many strongly object to having to take wine ; others, God help them ! think that they have done the fast thing by doing so.—Letter of "Bagman," in Liverpool Mercury. rA.DVERTISEMENT.—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.— Sores which ar e daily extending, ulcers which are hourly deepening, may be arrested in their torturing progress and induced to take a healthy action by applying this healing ointment and taking those purifying pills.

LEGER DAY, Memorable in turf history as have been ,many of the struggles for the Great St. Leger, the contest for 1865 will rank among the most remarkable races over witnessed, not only at Doncaster, but in this country. Frenchmen, by a series of successes, had during the past five years gradually prepared the public mind for their ultimate triumphs with Fille do l'Air and Gladiateur at Epsom; but Yorkshiremen, with their strong native prejudices, seemed incredulous of the fact that a " foreigner" could secure their " blue riband," which had on so many previous years elated the bosoms of "the Tykes" by falling to the representatives of Malton and Middleham. According to the Derby running and the issue of the Two Thousand Guineas, the St. Leger was in reality a foregone conclusion for Gladiateur, and it was so regarded until recently, when owing to the large amount of support awarded to The Duke, Regalia, and other competitors, the belief in the invincibility of the Frenchman was considerably shaken, and in consequence of the reports recently circulated to his disadvantage the excitement in racing circles became intense. The St. Leger possesses a notoriety for its surprises, many favourites and Derby winners having suffered igno minious defeat at the hands of despised outsiders. Caller Ou first distinguished herself by her remarkable overthrow of Kettledrum at Doncaster in 1861; and so little was her chance estimated, that in the course of the race as much as 100 to 1 was betted against the now celebrated turf heroine. Other unlooked-for victories stand recorded in connexion with the St. Leger, and for this reason the great race of Wednesday was anticipated with feverish anxiety. Before proceeding to a narrative of the day's racing, we will briefly recapitulate the standing of the candidates and their antecedents, in order that our readers may be pro vided with a complete chronicle of the St. Leger day up to the moment of the commencement of the contest, as well as every minute detail. Gladiateur's splendid career this season scarcely needs any reference. His double victory in England for the Two Thousand and Derby, and his subsequent triumph for the Grand Prize of Paris established his reputation as one of the most extraordinary horses of modern times. In deed, from his precocious development and the hollow man ner in which he defeated Christmas Ovrol, Eltham, and a large field at Epsom, inuendoes were thrown out as to the probability of his being beyond the asserted age, and these unwarranted reports were unfortunately inserted in some journals who set up a claim to respectability. It is well known that a perfect system of registration exists in France and that no such deception could possibly be practised with success. Nor can it be imagined for a single moment that a nobleman of such eminent rank as Count Lagrange would ever dream of a trick which would stamp the name of himself and horse with perpetual infamy. Mr. Graham, the owner of Regalia, however, injudiciously resolved to give the sur mises and suspicions of certain people a tangible shape ; and, as our readers are aware, that gentleman on Monday addressed a letter of protest to the stewards of the Doncas ter Meeting demanding an examination of Gladiateur's mouth before he was permitted to run, but the stewards considering such a proceeding perfectly frivolous and vexa tious determined not to entertain the objection, and thus the whole affair collapsed. It will be remembered that some few days since Gladiateur was driven back in the quotations, and a report circulated that he had "broken a blood vessel," but it transpired that he met with some in considerable mishap, and his training and preparation were not materially interfered with. Gladiateur arrived at Don caster on Tuesday, and cantered on Wednesday morning as early a s 5 o'clock, his presence on the course being watched with great interest by a large assemblage of his friends and enemies of all grades. Count Lagrange assured all his personal friends on the course on Tuesday, that despite the sinister rumours current adverse to the horse, the Derby winner was never better in his life. The Duke possessed a high reputation as a two-year-old, from having, prior to his debut, won a great trial at John Day's, at Danebury. After winning his maiden engagement at Stockbridge in a common canter, he was beaten at Newmarket, in the July Stakes, by a neck, the race being such an eminently unsatis factory one that it has been a moot point ever since whether it was not one of those "flukes" by no means uncommon on the turf. The Duke, after defeating the Lion at York, went into retirement for his three-year-old engagements, and during the winter months he was one of the most prominent favourites for the Derby, supported to win many thousands of pounds by the powerful coterie of noblemen and gentlemen comprising the supporters of John Day's stable. Unfortunately, however, distemper broke out in that establishment in the spring, placing the cream of the stud hors de combat, and among those stricken down was the Derby hope of that spirited young sportsman, the Mar quis of Hastings. The horse's scratching for the Derby was now a matter of necessity, and the pen was put through his name, to the consternation of those who had accorded him their monetary allegiance, Since then The Duke has been in seclusion, and as the Danebury horses have lately shown great improvement and carried all before them, fresh attention was drawn to the Marquis's candidate. A favourable demonstration set in at the York meeting, and The Duke became once more a favourite for one of the great three-year-old encounters of 1865. At Warwick he underwent a temporary depression in the quotations, owing to rumours that in a trial with Ackworth and John Davis he had been beaten a long way. This was evidently without grounds, as the Duke was speedily reinstated, and after the extraordinary manner in which all John Day's horses performed at Doncaster on Tuesday as little as 4 to 1 was accepted. Regalia, beyond a grand appearance, was undistinguished until Epsom, where she won the Oaks even easier than Gladiateur the Derby, completely galloping the hearts out of the mares who opposed her, and in five seconds only beyond the time in which "the Frenchman" had accomplished his Derby. Gladiateur had, however, beaten Regalia a hundred yards in the Two Thousand, but she is believed to have been amiss at that period. Up to the Oaks she was trained by Harlock at Newmarket, but the owner being of opinion that she was left until late without her excellence being divulged, removed the mare to Mahon, to be trained under the charge of Charles Peck. Regalia had been supported to win some heavy amounts by her immediate party and the public, and was in the position of second favourite for a considerable period, and has only given way owing to the elevation of The Duke. Breadalbane and Broomielaw, Mr. Chaplin's pair, have been the "sensation" horses of the season; and after the unparalleled price of £ll,OOO was paid for then', they have never realised the great expectations of their owner, more especially the brother to Blair Athol, whO cut up badly in the Two Th ousand an d worse i n the Derby. A belief was widely entertained that Breadalbane's Derby running was not correct, and at Ascot and Goodwood the horse certainly displayed marked improvement on his Epsom disgrace. Broomielaw's case was hopeless ; his moderate quality is now set beyond all question by his defeats at York and at Doncaster on the opening day. Klarinska was undreamed of as a St. Leger filly until the York meeting, where she came out, and even surprised her trainer, John Scott, by the manner in which she cut down in her successive engagements Siberia, White Duck, Broomielaw, Olmar, Nightwatch, &c. From this period the Whitewall mare has met with support at all prices down to as little as 10 to 1, but was driven to 20 to 1 on the eve of the race at the Subscription Rooms. Archi medes has encountered many vicissitudes throughout his career. In the Two Thousand Guineas he was second, within a neck of the Derby winner ; but in the Derby he was unplaced, beaten a long way, the excuse for his indif ferent performance being that he was suffering from "sore shins" at the time. During the Warwick meeting he was, in the phraseology of turf speculators, "knocked out," and at one period 100 to 1 was 'offered in vain. Under these havebeen expected that would b esenhtaro hardly oncaster ; but having, V e u h r i n m seta Archimedes s it could ac cording to report, merely met with a slight accident, his trainer, Smith, got him round, and his noble owner determined to allow him to run. Among the extreme outsiders Zambesi and Peeress were occasionally quoted at 50 to 1, but their followers had evidently not much faith in their fortunes while meeting such " cracks" as Gladiateur, The Duke, and Re galia. This summary will put our re a d ers i n possess i on o f all the facts in connection with the St. Leger competitors up to the eve of the contest. Throughout Tuesday Don caster continued to receive thousands of visitors from all was the influx of com ny of the passengers pp w aa e rin r y e s caootfmtthhpee rail the l kin led gw t d o ao w ym ai l t taa in ntido t n e s d O i t o grh us aeta d it rlay by the side of their portmanteaus while porters rushed all over the place en deavouring to secure vehicles, which were at an unusual premium. Excitement culminated at night time, as the rooms were crammed, and the High -street was thronged with people who formed themselves into groups and " compared notes" on the coming race, and greedily de voured any item of latest betting, or such intelligence as is prized on the eve of a St. Leger. All the shops were open until midnight, and the scene was of that extraordinary nature which Doncaster can alone provide. The interior of the rooms, owing to the crowd, the smoking, and exces s sive heat was almost unVearable. Although much excite ment prevailed, speculatio nwas not extensive, but the final prices at the dissolution of the members were duly tele graphed, and contained in our impression of yesterday. The salient features of the Leger betting were the increased desire to back Gladiateur, the extraordinary firmness of The Duke, and the decline of Regalia. The race, in the opinion of speculators, was apparently limited to the trio, 20 to 1 "bar three" being freely offered, with but an occa sional investment. Odds of 5 to 2 agst the field would have been laid to large amounts on the two favourites, but bookmakers stood out for a point more. A well-known ad herent of the French stable offered to take £2,500 to £2,000 Gladiateur did not win, but no one seemed inclined to lay, but subsequently 6 to 4 was laid in good money on the son of jaQuarciug, AtmiduightthOt9iTli oeundliterally swarm ing, and so earnest were all in the excitement of the occa sion that until three and four in the morning voices hoarse and loud disturbed the sleep of those who had retired early to rest. There was a sound of uproarious revelry by night, and some hundreds of men and boys, either from the want of means or a determination not to pay high prices, remained in the streets without attempting rest. Some of these formed themselves into parties and marched in bodies all over the town, singing the American glorioso song in glorification of John Brown, interspersed to a vocal procla mation that they were jolly dogs. The voices in the streets never died away, and it was evident among those bivouac ing in the open air Gladiateur was not popular, as they shouted out continual sarcasms on "t' Frenchman." At daybreak the town was alive with a vengeance, and at five o'clock Gladiateur did his canter on the course with Harry Grimshaw up, and in presence of a large number of critical spectators. That the horse created a favourable impres sion the betting soon indicated, as when they mustered at the rooms the unanimous opinion was that the Frenchman had passed a good night, and was displaying the most healthy market symptoms. During the progress of the morning the streetsresounded with nothing but the shouts of flymen and tramps, who rushed in every direction, shouting out the inquiry, " Who says a 'krect card, gentlemen ?" and continuing the sale of newspapers with their more mercurial occupation. The morning dawned in a'manner betokening heat, and by noon the sun shone with brilliancy, and the air was hot and oppressive as in the dog-days. Even the excessive heat was preferable to the " deluge year," as Blair Athol's is already termed. It really seemed wonderful where the thousands of people came from, but endless special trains from London and the neighbouring towns of Sheffield, Huddersfield, York, etc., poured hundreds on to the platform,whence they streamed in one wide body up the High-street, and halted in front of ffie rooms, where tho crowd was unparalleled. Just before one o'clock the block in the main thoroughfare was tremen dous, and the most experienced townspeople say they had never on any previous anniversary witnessed such dense masses of people in the town. Of course the extended railway facilities tends every year to increase the numeri cal strength of the carnival of the north. Immense three-horse omnibuses were loaded opposite the Reindeer as soon as they arrived, and flys as speedily ob tained "fares." Although the main bulk of the crowd came by the iron way, there were some hundreds of vehicles of all descriptions, chiefly from Sheffield, the holidaymakers exhibiting that stolid composure indicative of an almost overstrained interest in the race. Such was the extreme pressure in front of the Subscription Rooms that it was with difficulty we could force an entry, in order to ascertain the state of the betting. There was little alteration to chronicle from the quotations on the previous evening. Gladiateur had passed a good night, and 6 to 4 was freely laid on him, while 4 to 1 was still accepted about The Duke. Regalia caused her friends some concern, as she was reported coughing, and receded to as much as 10 to 1 offered. On the other hand, Klarinska improved on her previous night's returns, and 12 to 1 was taken about the Whitewall mare; 20.t0 1 each was eventually offered agst Breadalbane and Archimedes, Inquiries were made after Zambesi, but so little was the chance of the represen tive of Mr. Merry heeded that 50 to 1 could be had for ask ing. Upon reaching the Town Moor the spectators were fairly astonished at the amazing multitudes stretching from the town end or starting point for the St. Leger, right past the Red House, the mass at this portion of the moor pre senting an extraordinary coup d'ceil, the far side opposite the stand being lined many deep. Owing to the brilliant weather there was a larger number of vehicles than for many years past. The stands were all filled, and the Babel in the betting ring told how:earnestly wagering was being carried on. We may remark that the air was by no means so oppressive as on Tuesday, but was tempered with a re freshing breeze. Gladiateur arrived in the paddock at the back of the stand shortly after the first race, and walked about a long distance off. Count Lagrange and his friends watched his horse with the greatest anxiety, through his glass, from the summit of the Steward's Stand, but did not descend to the course, remaining in conversation with the Duke of Beaufort and other patrons of the turf. On assembling in the ring the betting on the Leger did not exhibit any change, except that bookmakers, tempted by the price, and their knowledge that there would be a larger number of runnings than was at first expected, fielded with so much freedom that they received from the backers of the favourite 11 to 8. The Duke was firm at 4to 1, and Regalia, when it was found she was perfectly well, re turned to 8 to 1; Klarinska also being inquired after at 12 to 1, but the outside division was decidedly out of favour. The two opening races, the Municipal Stakes and the Two-yr-old Handicap, were almost disregarded, except by the betting fraternity and backers of horses, and even they were excited and impatient for the issue of the St. Leger. The race was appointed at 3.15, and up to the last avail able moment the crowds continued to pour on to the moor, and when the course was cleared for the contest on which everyone's mind was intent the excitement was manifested in a buzz and roar which swelled up from the people in, every part of the Stand, and on every part of the course. Regalia was the first mounted opposite the Stand, and as John Osborne jumped into the saddle there was an out burst of admiration for the splendid Oaks mare, who was as cool and collected as her best friends could desire, al though when her rider put foot in the stirrup she lashed out and sent her rider on to her neck. The field was larger than had been anticipated, fourteen out of the twenty-four " coloured" assembling under the orders of the starter, the absentees being No. 3 (Exceller), No. 8 (Broomielaw), No. 12 (La Fortune), No. 14 (Wedding Peal), No. 16 (Thalia sins), No. 20 (Reginella), No. 21 (Olmar), No. 22 (Night watch). An unexpected lot of thebutside division cropped up at the post in Heir-at-Law(Jemmy Grimshaw's mount), Dux, Walcot, and Red Earl, while Lord Glasgow, deter mined to have a representative for this honourable North ern trophy, started a sister to Ascham, who was not en tered on the card. The first pair to canter down the course were Heir-at-Law and Barbarossa, and after them Regalia, Zambesi, Sister to Ascham, Walcot, Peeress, Breadalbane, Dux, and the Duke, and some minutes afterwards came Red Earl and Archimedes. The Frenchman's coming was expected with the greatest interest, and when Jennings led him on to the course with Harry Grimshaw in the saddle, there was a roar of applause, and a swaying commotion all down the sides of the course, indicative that the invincible " blue and red" of " Glad-he-hate-ter," as he was termed by the Yorkshiremen, was recognised. The remainder of the competitors were waiting for the Derby winner at the Red House straight to take his preliminary, and after Gladiateur reached them, Mr. Elliott displayed the white flag, in proof that the course was cleared, and the horses at once streamed down the course towards the starting point. Their style of going was freely criticised, and Gladiateur came last at a gentle canter, alone in his glory. The eager ness of the horse-loving Yorkshiremen to inspect such a world-wide celebrity was very great, and those pedestrians who were not in the front ranks jumped up and down, after the fashion of the " Perfect Cure," content with only a passing glimpse. Gladiateur never looked better. He was full of muscle, and as clean, cool, and hard in appear ance as a statue. Grimshaw's confidence was plainly dis played in the indifferent eye with which he glanced at his opponent when at the post. The Duke was in the bloom of condition, and a very taking horse, but the Derby and Oaks winners were the Emperor and Empress of the field, and it was easy to understand how they had been enabled to make such an example of their fields at Epsom. Mr. M‘George (who officiated this year as starter in place of Mr. Marshall) led his horses in Indian file past the Stand and back again to the starting point, where, to the infinite satisfaction of every one, he got the squadron off at the first attempt in admirable order, and the almost simultaneous descent of the white and red flags was received with the usual sensational " They're off." The race is described at length below, and we need only refer here to its salient points. Klarinska led the way for a mile, when she gave Way to the Duke, while Gladiateur (who ran for a quart3r, pefosat mile k e became third to The Duke, and Peeress a nd Regalia half sleaystenbthut place.one) dr m e aki w o u g p, th an e and tfhoer half- mile a length in his rear; while Archimedes with Breadal bane were among the front division close to the rails. The Duke and. P eere ss were in troub le at the dis tance, and Gladiateur rushed for ward in the brilliant style in which he won the Derby. Archimedes, who came with a dash, was b ea ten at the Stand enclosure, and Re g al ia went on in pursuit of the Frenchman, but never could catch him, and Gladiateur won by three lengths. Immense excitement and a scene never before witnessed ensued, as the horse was led back with a posse of police at his side, and Jem Mace and several less notable pugilists in attend ance. The crowd were making no violent demonstration, but in their enthusiasm they so completely hustled the jockey that he required all the services of the surrounding party to enable him to dismount. Gladiateur, who must be now pretty well used to such incidents, was as collected and quiet as possible amidst these obtrusive demonstration s. We rejoice to say that the dreaded riot did not take place, but had any mischief been intended,Mace,who is in training for a fight for the championship, would have been a for midable captain of the French bodyguard. .flegalia ran the good mare she is, while Lord Stamford was, as last year with Cambuscan, third with Archimedes. The Duke was fourth, and ran a great horse for a mile and a quarter, but that is evidently the limit of his tether. Breadalbane was fifth, and beaten as he was for the third time by Gladiateur, his friends must be persuaded of his inferiority. After the " all,right" had been pronounced by the clerk of the course, there was a continuance of cheering, and the occupants of the betting ring having identified Count Lagrange at the end of the Steward's Stand, turned up their faces in that direction, and there followed a roar of congratUlation and waving of hats which the Count acknowledged with the proyorbial grace and courte7 of his countrymen.

At the Hampstead Police -court yesterday (Wednesday) Ellen Lucy, 19, a good-looking young woman, in the ser vice of Dr. Clement, of Gangmore House, Vale Mount, Hampstead-heath, was charged before R. Prance, Esq., the sitting magistrate, with unlawfully concealing the birth of her illegitimate male child, on the 3d inst. Prisoner, who wept bitterly during the examination, was seated on a chair in the dock. It will be remembered that on Monday evening last Dr. Lankester held an inquest on the body of a male child, newly born, which had been found in a. hat-box on Hamp stead-heath. The medical evidence then given went to show that, though the child died soon after its birth, it might have lived had it received proper medical attention. The jury returned a verdict of "stillborn," and Mr. Inspec tor Webb, a very active officer, promised to use his utmost endeavours to discover the mother of the child. This he did, and the result was the apprehension of the prisoner, who was brought up in his custody yesterday evening charged as above. Inspector Webb deposed that from information he had received he went to the prisoner and examined her boxes and her chest of drawers, and found some soiled linen. He said to the prisoner, "From this linsey and linen I am satisfied you are the mother of the child, and I shall ap prehend you for concealing its birth." She began to cry, and was about to make a statement, when witness said, "You need not say anything unless you like." She said, " Well, I did not know I was in the family way, nor that I was going to be confined. I was taken very ill on Sun day morning week, and was confined. I got up and went to my work as usual. The 3hild I took down to the bot tom of the garden, and kept it there till 10 o'clock on Thursday night, when I put it under the wall." The in spector added that he attended the inquest before Dr. Lankester on Monday evening, when a verdict of "still born" was returned. The prisoner was remanded for a few days. A JACOBITE RELlC.—There is now open at South Kensington an interesting collection of miniatures, comprising about 4,000 portraits, many of them of great historical value, ranging from the sixteenth century to the present time. One of these is the por trait of Charles 1., set in the King's hair, and which is said to have been dipped in the royal blood on the scaffold. It is now an heirloom in the Shelley family, but it formerly belonged to John Winckly, who was executed at Lancaster Castle after the rising of 1715. On the back of this relic are engraved the names of the family, who rose again for the Stuarts in 1745; and the dowager Lady Shelley, to whom it was bequeathed by her father, Thomas Winckly, Esq., of Preston and Brockholes in Lancashire, remembers having worn it when a child on some Jacobite anniversary, some seventy and, five summers ago in the world's history.—Ora a Week.
