THE CESAREWITCII DAY AT NEWMARKET.—The Second October was one which will never be for gotten, either at Newmarket or Danebury, for never before was the argument that the Heath was the pleasure ground of the Jockey Club, to be used for themselves and their particular friends, SO completely demolished, as, from an early hour, the excursion trains, north, east, west, and south, poured in their hundreds of third-classers, who roamed about on the heath when and where they liked, of that and being as ignorant of sacred spot as the late mthsey sa Atlantic cable. Bad as was thi s sample, understanding e tma r s ian t n a n n ce d or i os n k g a on n fd o t t h h ceu i ns customs when the bs. Shoreditch train ca me is, matters were ten times worse, as the shopkeepers afterwards found to their cost. First came the smashers of Clerkenwell, then the bird-fanciers of Bethnal -green, who, as was natural, backed the Birdcatcher blood throughout the afternoon. To these succeeded "the cracksmen of the Hackney-road," a stal wart race of men, whose legs, if their stockings had been taken off, would all of them have disclosed the ring mark. Fit and ready for any enterprise, they would have nailed up the favourite in his box, or broken into it and got at hint for a fiver. The dock labourers of East Smithfield, not quite so dangerous, but more larking in their character, were the next division, and their animal spirits led them into no end of breaches of etiquette, which made some of the natives shudder, and almost anticipate an earthquake. For they poked fun at Martin Starling, who was redder than his own coat, and when he heard unique epithets applied to names hitherto mentioned in his presence with breathless awe and veneration, anxious fears were entertained lest apoplexy should come on ; and the humane and clever Mr. Fair dough refused to leave the heath until all fear of danger was removed. In fact, the people were in possession of the Heath, and kept it, we need not st,y, to the annoyance of that section of the club who would rather convert it into Kensington-gardens than Kennington-common. Powerless they sat on• their hacks, and watched the course broken into, and their own forces being as unable to cope with them as Ogstance would.be with Jam Mace or Joe Goss. But in truth nowhere has the spirit of progress made such way as at the metropolis of the turf, and all its agremens 1 1 on which it prided itself so justly are swept away never L to return.—." Our Van," in Baiiy's Magazine for November. Naval and Military Intelligence. It was yesterday announced in the garrison at Woolwich that arrangements are ordered to be made forthwith for the reception of Prince Arthur, who will commence his probationary studies as Gentle man Cadet, at the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, probably in January next, for admission to the Regiment of the Royal Artillery or the Corps of the Royal Engineers. A stable-yard, for the special accommodation of the Prince and his suite, with the necessary outbuildings, &c., is ordered to be prepared adjoining the gunnery sheds at the back of the Academy. A son of the Duke of Beaufort it is stated will also enter at the same term. Major- Gen. H. Sandham (Commandant Royal Engineers), Lieut.-Governor of the Academy, will retire after the forthcoming half:yearly examination and dis tribution of prizes, and will be succeeded by Major- Gen. John William Ormsby, R.A., whose commis sion dates the sth of April, 1866. Gen. Ormsby will enter upon bis appointment on the reassembling of the classes after the expiration of the Christmas vacation. The post of Lieut.-Governor and Com mandant of the Academy has been sought after by numerous officers of high standing in the Royal Artillery, whose claims and qualifications would render them in every way available ; consequently, the_di4appointment is greatly felt.- —Tbre-fgalarris -11,000 per annum, with an appropriate mansion and grounds facing the eastern wing'of the esta blishment. Major Hon. George Watson, Paymaster, ap pointed to the Woolwich division of Royal Marines July 1, 1853, and purveyor to the Royal Marine Infirmary, has been permitted to retire from the service on superannuation. Captain James Con way Travers, aide-de-camp to the Inspector-Gene ral, has been appointed Major Watson's successor. The Bellerophon, iron frigate, Capt. E. Tatham, steamed into Portsmouth harbour from Spithead on Wednesday,' and was berthed alongside the sheer jetty of the dockyard, where she is now discharging her old guns and other weight ballast preparatory to receiving her armament. The Research 4, armoured screw sloop, Com mander R. E. Scott, yesterday steamed into Ports mouth harbour from Spithead for refit, after her cruise with the Channel squadron. The Wivern, 4, screw iron turret ship, Capt. H. T. Burgoyne, V.C., yesterday steamed into Ports mouth harbour from Spithead for alterations and refit after the Channel squadron cruise. The altera tions to be made on board will include the construc tion of a spar or hurricane deck, from poop to fore castle, and an additional depth of nearly 3ft. to all her hatchway and skylight coamings. The Scorpion, the sister ship to the Wivern, is undergoing simi lar alterations in dock at Portsmouth. We would, however, venture to suggest that the added depth of coamings given to the Wivern, especially to her engine-room hatchway, should be fitted on the pat tern of those on the deck of the American turret ship &tiantonomah, instead of those adopted on board the Scorpion. In the American ship the up per edge of the deep coamings have an outward curve of about oue-eighth of a circle, and are thus well calculated to throw off any sea which may run up when the ship's deck may be flooded in rough weather, or when the vessel may lurch over to a great angle. The coamings being given to the Scor pion have no such curve, and their efficiency in pre venting the entrance of the water from the deck to below will depend solely on their height above the deck. The Wivern has had a thorough and continuous " washing" during her cruise with the Channel squadron, the water on one oc3asion gaining entrance to the engine-room in such volume as to damp the fires and materially reduce the pressure of steam. A portable cofferdam, intended for use on the bottoms of ships, to examine a valve or injury be low the water line, and avoid, where possible, the necessity for placing the vessel in dock, the inven tion of Capt. 11. F. M'Killop, R.N., is being prac tically tested at Portsmouth dockyard, under the superintendence of the officials there by order of the Admiralty, and yesterday met with its first de cided success on the bottom of the paddle steam ship Terrible, Capt. Commerell, now refitting in the ship-basin of the yard. The upper Kingston valve required examination, and the portable coffer dam was lowered into position over it yesterday morning in order to thoroughly test its efficiency. In the forenoon the attempt was not successful, owing to some error in fixing the pontoon, which prevented a clearance of the water from the interior of the pontoon. A second attempt in the after part of the day, however, proved completely successful, the pontoon being pumped out clear, and a perfectly dry dock formed on the ship's bottom in which the workmen could examine and repair, if found ne cessary, the Kingston valve. Although a great suc cess has been thus attained with Capt. M'Killop's very useful invention in the experimental trial of its capabilities made yesterday afternoon, the whole apparatus is undoubtedly capable of being greatly improved upon in many of the details of its fittings. It is obvious also that if the invention becomes an established success in its application to the bottoms of ships, it also becomes at once applicable for the examination and repair of the submerged walls of docks or basins without emptying them of their water or removing their shipping. Capt. M'Killop's cofferdam resembles in size and appearance one of the paddlebox boats carried by the Terrible, but with one end cut off. It is formed of semi-circular iron ribs, at fixed distances apart, covered with water proof canvas and fitted on a flexible iron frame. This iron frame is covered with an air collar or cushion, and this latter is also covered, as a protec tion, with thrum matting. The cofferdam is lowered into the water with, if we still consider it as a boat ' by way of illustration, the cut-off end of the boat uppermost, and as it descends the water, of course, presses the frame with its air. cushion, and thrum mat facing against the ship's side. When lowered to a sufficient depth, the hose from the ship's deck pump is passer' into the dam through its open end projecting above the level of the water, and then, if the dam has been properly fixed and other con ditions are favourable, the water is pumped out from the inside of the dam, increased pressure comes upon its exterior, jamming the framing or edge of the boat's gunwale closer upon the ship's side with its air cushion, &c., and a water-tight joint completes a dry dock in the water and round that part of the ship's bottom requiring examination or repair. The apparatus tried yesterday weighs, when dry, about 20cwt., and, having a jointed frame, it can readily be taken to pieces and stored away in a very small space. It has been constructed of dimensions suit able for its use ou a ship drawing 17t. of water. The length of one of these portable cofferdams taken to sea by any ship must, of course, depend upon the ship's depth or draught of water. The masts of the screw steam corvette Racoon were taken out on Wednesday, and she was removed from Hamoaze into Keyham-yard to have her boilers taken out and repaired. The screw steam gunvessel Star, 4, Commander Bradshaw, left Plymouth on Wednesday for the East Indies. The paddlewheel steamfrigate Gladiator, 6, Capt. Elphinstonc, was placed alongside the sheer hulk in Hamoaze yesterday morning, to receive a steam launch for Coastguard service in Ireland. 11er Majesty's hydraulic ironcased gun vessel W a terwitch was yesterday doc ked at Woolwi ch for the purpose of making some alteration in her valves, with a view of increasinci., her rate of speed. She will shortly go dawn the river on a second official trial with a light draught of water, after which the trial will be repeated with sayavy ballast.

The objects of the Bank are—to take over the assets and liabilities of the Agra and Masternian's Bank (Limited), and liquidate the same as a working bank, and to continue that portion of the business formerly carried on by the Agra and United Service Bank (Limited). The proposed plan for this purpose is explained in the statement which has been already circulated, and which, at a numerously attended meeting of the shareholders of the Agra and Masterman's Bank (Limited), held at the London Tavern. on the 18th October, 1866, was unani mously and cordially adopted, and a committee of share holders appointed to "carry out the necessary arrange ments to give effect to the proposal, with power to make such modifications therein as the committee may find necessary." A copy of that statement, with the modifications therein already agreed to by the committee, can be obtained on application as at foot. The committee have nominated the six above-named Directors, and it is intended to add not exceeding three additional Directors, to be selected by the Board from the subscribers to the new capital, making the number of original Directors not exceeding nine, but with power to increase afterwards, if found desirable. The business which it is proposed to carry on has been tested by the experience of the past to be both safe and profitable. From the establishment of the Agra and United Service Bank in 1833, up to the end of 1863, when it changed its name and entered upon an extended field of operations, it proved itself a growing and unchecked suc cess, and during the years 1862 and 1863, respectively, paid to its shareholders clear net dividends of 18 and 20 per cent. The advantages which the proprietors of the shares now offered will receive are : (1). The benefit of an old-established and profitable business, without any payment for goodwill. (2). They will have a preference dividend out of pro fits for two years of ten per cent. per annual on their paid up capital. (3). They will have the option at once, or at any of the before-named periods, of paying up the whole amount of £lO per share : dividends being allowed on all payments pro rata. The liability on the shares will therefore be ac tually, and not nominally, limited. The subscription list will be closed for London on the 12th, and for the country on the 13th day of November, 1866, and applications will be considered in the order of their receipt.

The following is a copy of the despitch in which Lord Monck, Governor-General of Canada, an nounces the great fire at Quebec : " GOVERNOR VISCOUNT MONCK TO LORD CARNARVON. " Quebec, Oct. 22, 1866. _ . "My Lord,—lt is with much regret that I have to inform your lordship that a terrible fire took place at Quebec on Sunday, the 14th inst., by which a large portion of the city lying outside the fortifications was completely destroyed. " Nearly all the houses in the:district of St. Sauveur and St. Roch, where the fire occurred, were built of wood, and a strong gale of wind was blowing at the time. Consequently the conflagration soon attained. such dimensions as defied all attempts to check it, though the most strenuous and gallant exertions to do so were made by the troops of the garrison under Col. Lord Alexander. Russell, and by the crew of her Majesty's ship Aurora, under Capfilka Liddell. The progress of the flames could not be arrested, and the fire finally burnt itself out, after consuming almost the whole of the suburbs situated to leeward of the street where it commenced. These suburbs were densely inhabited by the poorest class of the population, consisting chiefly of French Canadians, and though there has not yet been time to procure details in the matter, I have reason to believe 'that upwards of 2,000 houses have been destatred, and" nearly 18,000 persons rendered homeless. Every effort has been made by the Mayor and citizens of Quebec to alle viate the sufferings .of these unfortunate people, and to provide the vast multitude suddenly thrown for support on the charity of their neighbours with food, clothing, and temporary shelter but such is the magnitude of the cala mity, and so wide-spread the distress consequent upon it, that I look forward with much apprehension and anxiety to the early approach of winter, and to the unprepared condition of the sufferers by the late disaster to meet it. " Subscriptions have been set on foot throughout the province for the purpose of sending assistance to Quebec in this pressing emergency, and a memorial presented to me by the General Committee of Relief, praying for a grant of Rublic money, is now under the consideration of my DZinis " I have the honnur to transmit herewith a copy of an address issued by the Mayor of the city, the Bishops of the diocese, and other principal persons, immediately after the occurrence of the fire. . " Precise statistical information in regard to the extent of the destruction caused by the conflagration shall be sent to your lordship as soon as it can be obtained.--I am, &c., " Aloxcx. " The Right Hon. the Earl of Carnarvon, &c." " TO THE PEOPLE OF CANADA, TO THOSE OF THE MOTHER COUNTRY, AND TO THE GENEROUS- HEARTED OF EVERT LAND. " ' Twenty-one years ago two conflagrations, separated from each other by an interval of but 30 days, reduced to ashes about two-thirds of our city, and left nakedand on the smoking highway upwards of 20,000 human beings. At the sight of so much suffering the whole civilised world was moved to profoundcompassion, and abundant contributions flowed in from all sides to the sufferers of such heart-rend ing misfortune. Canada subscribed liberally, the Mother Country was superabundant in her gifts, and foreign nations were not behindhand in sympathy and generosity. Our agricultural population, though impoverished by adverse seasons, was moved to compassion and contributed all that it could in money, but more especially in produce. We we were then at the beginning of summer, at the sight of the brilliant sun overhead, promising opportunity and reward to industry and toil, and of such universally expressed sym pathy, hope and courage, took possession of the hearts of so many thousands struck by misfortune. Soon the subscrip tions poured in so abundantly that the Relief Committee appointed by the citizens were enabled to aid them in rebuild ing, and this assistance was given ou the condition that nothing but incombustible materials should be employed in the reconstruction of their houses. Thus it was that nearly 3,000 wooden houses were replaced by as many of stone and brick, and saved from total destruction on Sunday last the entire quarter destroyed by fire in 1815. " Put the high wind which prevailed blowing in a con tmly direction, a considerable portion of the St. Roch's su burbs, also built of wood, has escaped the disaster cf 1815. Since that period au entire town has been built iu wood beyond the Quebec city limits, and in a locality over which our municipal authorities could exercise no control. "' On Sunday last, at about half-past 4 o'clock in the morning, a fire broke out on the west side of Crowu-street, on the limit of the quarter whence proceeded the conflagra tion of 1845, destroying all that lay before it to the eastward of the same streq for a length of over a mile, and covering a width of about half a mile. The easterly wind, blowing a furious hurricane, carried the fire in every direction with desolating rapidity, hurling to a great distance the burning materials, and multiplied the centres of destruction to suclt a degree as to baffle every expedient and render futile all efforts to stay the terrible ravages of the destroying ele ment. The military authorities and the men of 11.11.5. Aurora lent, under the circumstances, to the municipal body all the assistance within their power, and many times oven risked their lives in efforts to save property, and to them we owe, in a great measure, that we have not to de plore a still greater disaster. In a great number of cases blowing up with powder was had recourse to, in the hope, by creating wide breaches, to isolate and circumscribe the fire, but without success, for the flames did their work of ruin with the impetuosity of a torrent, bounding from place to place as if to avoid obstacles and overleap distance. Al most 2,500 dwellings were thus reduced to ashes in a little less time than 12 hours, and from 15,000 to 18,000 persons, at the approach of a rigorous winter, left without food, without clothing, and without shelter. Men even perished in the flames, whose calcined skeletons were rescued from the smoking ruins after the day's destruction was over. The heart bleeds at the sight of so much desolation and of so many thousand unfortunates clamouring for bread shelter, and warmth. On the night following the disaster the municipal authorities caused food to be distributed, and on the day following the citizens met, under the presidency of the Mayor, to organise relief. About $30,000 have already been subscribed among our citizens, and the subscription is still going on, and even some distant localities have, with spontaneous generosity, already lent us their assistance ; but how insufficient will this be to cover losses which do not fall far short of $2,000,000 ! The law, which within the city limits, compels those sufferers to rebuild with in combustible materials, will. be for them equivalent to a forced expropriation unless wo can assist them to a certain degree in complying with its terms. " To the generous-hearted of all countries, then, we direct our appeal, and in the recollection of the compassion bestowed upon us in 1845 we place our hopes to be enabled to surmount the appalling misfortune of 1866. For the present the sufferers find refuge in the undestroyed por tion of the city, in the surrounding parishes, and in the public buildings, where food is distributed daily by the Relief Committee. If, as already narrated, some among them have perished in the conflagration, how many others must succumb to the rigours of a Canadian winter, or to those diseases which develope themselves and often propagate in a terrible manner in large and crowded agglo merations of human beings! Some of the places in which they are sheltered are now so overcrowded as to endanger alike morality and existence. In a month hence our city will be covered with the snows of a long winter, and, ter rible as was the scourge of 1845, from that fact alone it was less calamitous than the conflagration which on s i eso _ a, n ,l „2. ay last threw over our city so much mourning and . sion For this reason, then, we humbly crave Permuirs sympathy peal to you in our distress, and to implore unutterable misfortune. of Queb ec * and your generous contributions towardthyeorelief of our "'JOSEPH CAUCHON, Mayor C .

The two Queens, Anne and Maria Theresa, dowager and regnante, the se ductive heroine of the Fronde, the Duchess de Longueville, and the two first favourites, Mdms. de la Valliere and de Fontagnes, were blondes; so, for all the aspiring beauties whom nature had made a shade too dark, there was no alternative but to wear a wig or dye. The men fell into Um custom, as may be learnt from 3foliere, who makes the Misanthrope exclaim to Celimeno " Vous etes-vous rendue, avec tont lo beau monde, Au merite eclatant do sa perruque blonde." The assumption of the perruque by Jean Baptiste, the. son of Racine, secretary of embassy in Holland, is regularly discussed between him and his mother-in-law : " Your • father deeply regrets the necessity which you say you are under of wearing a wige. He leaves the decision to the ambassador. When your father is in better health he will order M. do Marguery to make you such a one as you re quire. Madame la Comtesse de Gramont is very sorry for you that you should lose the attraction which your hair gave you." The entry in Pepy's Dairy for May 11, 1667, runs thus : "My wife being dressed this day in fair hair did make me so mad that I spoke not one word to her, though I was ready to burst with anger. After that Creed and I went into the Park and walked, a most pleasant evening, and so took coach, and took up my wife, and in my way home disco vered my trouble to my wife for her white locks, swearing several times, which I pray God may forgive me for, and bending my fist, that I would zaot endure it." They renewed the discussion the nest day, Sunday, and came to an understanding that she should give up her white locks on his agreeing to give up keeping company with one Mrs. Knipp, of whom there is frequent and rather compro mising mention in the Diary. There was no concealment nor fear •of detection on the part of either sex. The false lairz2lLp4tezor off b - the idunnen like a bonnet oi 4- a. cap ; and a court lady would have felt little abashed at an accident such as recently happened to a fair equestrian, who had the misfortune to drop the whole of her back hair or chipzon in Rotten. row. The fashion of powdering the hair with gold dust, which has recently found votaries both at Loudon and Paris, was commenced by PoppieA, the wife of Nero, and also by Lucius Verus (the adopted son of Aurelius), who was ex travagantly vain of his hair. Authorities are not wanting to prove that the golden and auburn tints which we admire in the portraits of Titian, Tintoret, and Paul Veronese were produced by a tincture in vogue at Venice in the sixteenth century. The collections show that other shades of colour, especially brown and black, have had their dny ; and it is a disputed question in connoisseurship whether the highest degree of beauty has not been attained by the brunettes. Red or carroty (which is the corrector trans lation of roux or rousse) has been at a discount in all ages. It was thought ominous of evils by the ancients, and typical of villany during many ages of the Christian era. "Judas-coloured hair" is the spiteful reproach of Pope. " Aussi, da,ns tout notre range de coiffure, pas un chevou roux ardent couleur de carotte." The reason why Racine put off ordering his sou's wig is obvious enough, when we find that the price of one of the fashionable colour was a thousand French crowns. The gentlemen whom Sydney Smith, in reference to the length and redundancy of his curls, accused of growing hair for sale, might have driven a profitable trade at that time. —Edinburgh Review. SOME CLUB . MEN.—The other London guests may just be " observed," as the reporters say. Doddy Dalston —let us save the honour of his sponsors by mentioning that ho was christened Theodore was not thought to have much ima gination; but if he had a dim idea of a future state, it was held that Doddy's visions were of some place where nobody has to ply debts. His earthly power of incurring obligations of the kind, notoriously never meeting them, and yet of always looking like a gentleman, and having money for everybody but creditors, amounted to a financial and social miracle. His utter ruin had long ceased to be matter of prediction and had taken its place in history ; but there Doddy sat, ex ceedingly well dressed, and listening with an air of complacency to solvent men, and as if his only doubt was whether he should buy the house which one of them wished to sell, or to beg the other to invest the money for him in Madagascar Passives. Moreover, whether Doddy Dalston got hold of his money by burglaries, aasome of his friends insisted, or by picking the pockets of bankers' clerks in the City, as others contended, he got it, and never sponged. It need not be said, therefore, that Dalston was much liked. So was Jemmy Itydon, for other causes, the most salient perhaps being the capital parties which he was fund of giving at a certain secluded villa in a north-western suburb, where Mr. Ryden, who always intended to marry, but never did, was rehearsing domesticity. SO was little Walter Latrobe, because he had been a gallant soldier, and in an emergency had held a fort with a handful of men against a raging mob of Indian Diggers, and with his own small white hand had sent a dozen of them to Padalon, before the relieving force of cavalry came down to the slaughter. lie had a gentle feminine voice, and was loved of women fur his beauty and valour, and of children because his busi ness in life was the invention of child-games. It may be that he was wicked at odd hours. Then there was the instructive Dick Marsden, who knew everything, and the indolent Tom Alford, who knew nothing; and the remain ing typo was Willy Daimes, who went in for politics, and was always standing for some place or other, and always losing because he made his agents leave off bribing just at the point when another three hundred pounds would have sent their principal into the British Legislature.—" Sooner or Later," by Shirley Brooks. - THE BANDA AND KIRWEE PRIZE MONEY.—In very few days the Royal warrant for. the first distribu tion of the Banda and Kirwee prize money will be issued. The troops which will be entitled to share are those which accompanied General Whitlock to Jubbulpore, Saeger, Banda, or Kirwee, and which were still under his come mand on the 19th of April or the 6th June ; 1858.
