THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENINU, SEPTEMBER 13, 1866. POLICE iNyELLIGENCE.—This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. EMBEZZLEMENT.—WiIIiam Kempston, a gontoel youth about 17, was charged before Mr. Alderman Lusk with stealing £lOO, the property of Messrs. Gow, Butler, and Co., Friday-street. _ _ It appeared that the prisoner was sent on the 11th of August last to the bank of Messrs. Wynn and Co. with a cheque for £lOO, drawn by his employers. The money was paid, but the prisoner disappeared, and was not heard of until last week, when ho surrendered himself to the police, and confessed that he had received the money, all of which he had spent. Mr. 11. Dumphey, barrister, appeared on behalf of the pri soner, and made a very earnest appeal to the worthy alder man to deal with the case summarily, considering the youth of the prisoner, that it was his first offence, and that his character was ruined. Alderman Lush said that, notwithstanding what the learned counsel urged, the case was of a nature and mag nitude that prevented his dealing with it summarily, and ho committed the prisoner to take his trial at the Central Crhuival Court. Bank of England. HALF-YEARLY MEETING-(Tuts Day.) The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the pro prietors was held to-day in the Bank Parlour ; Henry Lancelot Holland, Esq., Governor, in the chair. The minutes of the last Court having been read and confirmed, The GOVERNOR said he had to acquaint the Court that that was one of the quarterly general courts appointed by the charter, and also that it was one of the half -yearly general courts appointed for the making of a dividend ; that the net profits of the half year ending the 31st of August was £970,014 17s. 10d., making the amount of the rest on that day £3,981,783 18s. 11d. After providing for a dividend of G. per cent., the rest would be £3,035,83S 183. 11d. He had, therefore, to move that the dividend Mentioned be declared without deduction of income-tax; payable on the 10th of October. Previous to putting the question, he could not refrain from making one or two observations, because important events had occurred since they last met, and a great strain had been put not only on that house, but upon the banking trade of London. The joint-stock banks, however, ac quitted themselves honourably during the trial, be cause such was the peculiarity of the banking busi ness that the least blast of suspicion was generally quite sufficient to sweep away the whole of the hard earned harvest. The mannerin which the " drain"— he would not call it a "run"—had been met was highly satisfactory, and as the Bank had exerted itself to the utmost to prevent disaster, he hoped the proprietors would not think it liable to blame for the tornado of the - 11th of May. He felt that the pro prietors would be of opinion that the directors had done their duty during the excited state of things to which he had referred:. He therefore begged to move the adoption of the recommendation with re spect to the dividend. Mr. HYAms said before the question was put he just wished to say a word or two. As the 11th of May had been mentioned he thought it would have been better had the . Bank directors applied to the Chancellor of the Exchequer earlier than they did. Had it not been for the appearance of the letter of the Government, the state of things would have been worse on the morning of Saturday, the 12th, than it was on the memorable Friday, the 11th of May. Mr. JONES thought the Bank directors would be performing a great public benefit if they would inform the proprietorS what was the cause of the great panic. Of course the failure of such a great house as Overend's could not occur without causing great alarm, but, according to his opinion, the great cause of the state of things was excessive over-trading. He felt the Bank directors had exercised a wise discre tion in resisting an inflated paper currency, because such an act could but be productive of ill conse quences to the industrious classes. He there fore hoped the directors would continue their re sistance to the increased issue of paper, and that they would take into consideration the advisability of paying some of their dividends at the 'West-end Branch, because it was becoming rather a nuisance, in consequence of the enormous traffic, that every thing should be done in the City. Mr. MoxoN said be should like to know what amount of bad debts the Bank had, because out of doors it was said that they had in their possession between two and three millions of bad bills. He should also like to know whether the Bank held any bonds of the railway which had gone into default, and taking various matters into consideration he should move a resolution to the effect, that it would be desirable to appoint four or five gentlemen as auditors to certify the accounts. He did not do so in any spirit of distrust, only he thought it would be a very judicious proceeding supposing his suggestion was adoptel. Nlr. GASTENBERG said when the news of the sus pension of the Bank Charter got abroad there was a feeling on the Continentthat the Bank was about to suspend specie payment altogether, and therefore the directions received from many countries were invariably to remit in bullion. He felt that the greatest advantage to the Bank would result by the issue of a £l-note. It would bring a large amount of bullion into the coffers of the Bank, and all un just suspicion would be at once removed. Mr. W. BODLEY said at their last meeting the propriety of receiving money on deposits was sub mitted to the directors, and they had promised to the matter. had tter b l e l e e n s a h r o r u iv ld ed l a ik t ? e to know if any consider ny det the matter, lle should like to know if any determinatio er tm Alderman SALOMONS said nothing could be more graceful than the compliment paid to the joint stock banks by the chairman, and for that he heartily thanked him. lie felt it would be satis factory not only to the banks themselves but to the country at large. The CHAIRMAN said, with respect to the giving interest on deposits nothing could be more dangerous to that house. (Hear, hear.) The downfall of Over ends had been caused by holding money at call and putting it out at interest, and when the call came the money was found to be at all quarters of the globe, and in some instances at the bottom of the sea. With respect to bad bills, he bad heard the rumour more than once, but he had never been able to trace it to its source, and he should feel pleased if Mr. Moxou could help in the discovery. lle did not believe that the proprietors thought the directors of the Bank such fools as to lend money without good security—(hear, hear, and laughter) ; but if he were to tell them the amount of bad debts they had made they would scarcely believe him, the amount was so insignificant. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the dividend, which was one of the largest ever declared in that room, he could assure them that it had been honestly and hardly earned. It had not been got without a great deal of watching and anxiety. With respect to the appointment of auditors, if the proprietors had confidence in the directors such au innovation was unnecessary. (Hear, hear.) If the proprietors had not confidence the present directors ought not to be in office. It had been said that they had locked up the coffers unnecessarily, but with a capital of 14 millions, and a rest of three millions, there must be locking up of some description ; and with respect to the Bank not having made sufficient advances, all he could say was the assertion was made in ignorance of the facts of the case. They had advanced over forty millions in three months, and if that was not giving assistance he did not know what was. They were prepared for "greater things, but happily mat ters had taken a favourable turn.

After breakfast Judge Smith, who presided at his trial and passed-upon him the sentence of death, called in and shook h an d s w ith the pri soner. Covert asked him to be seated, sayi ng , "I am g lad to o e Judge. seeyou, sir." How do you f ee l , M r. Covert ?" asked feel pretty well, considering circum stances." After a little conversation about his relatives, Covert was requested to write his autograph, and imme diately complied. The prosecuting attorney, Alton ; having come in, he shook hands with him quite cordially, and Judge Smith, rising to depart, said to Covert as ho took him by the hand and shook it warmly, " Good by, Mr. Covert, I with a firm th oug h no t un ki n dl y n,,t G he oo e d ye Ly, Mr. S m i t h , and remember my shall not see you again."

The Judge then de parted, and Covert was marched to the scaffold.--A r ew York ilerald. Red-hill Reformatory. The annual " Harvest Home" in connection with the Philanthropic Society's Farm School, Red-hill, Surrey, was held yesterday. The institution was established in 1788, was incorporated in 1806, and was removed from St. George's-fields, Southwark, in 1849. Its object being the reformation and moral and industrial training of juvenile criminals, a large number of metropolitan and provincial philanthro pists attended the festival, which, however, was more pastoral in name than reality. But although there was no garnering of rich sheaves, as the suggestion of harvest home would indicate, the close of a long, trying summer and the labours of some 289 boys during the various stages of the crops were properly celebrated by a holiday in which one and all parti cipated. To those interested in the much debated question of juvenile criminal treatment a leisurely inspection of the school grounds would prove pro bably more effective than a year's mere reading of statistics and reports. Entering the property from the railway station, the visitor has before him some 240 acres of land, the whole of which is worked by the boys usually admitted under the direction of a farm bailiff and various labour masters. Whether the field te grass, clover, mangold, turnip, or stubble, the impress of culture, care, and diligence is manifest on either hand, and in the chaplain's garden the cultivation is of an absolutely enviable kind. The weather until yesterday afternoon was fine enough to allow such visitors as were disposed to stroll to each of the separate houses over the farm in which the five families of 50 each are domiciled under the master and his wife. The programme on the establishment is the same as has been detailed on previous occasions, and it includes religious exercises, lessons in Holy Scripture, reading, writing, arithmetic, digging, draining, reaping, milking, stock-culture, brick-making, tailoring, shoemaking, smithery, carpentering, laundry work, and other occupations. The society, although it has made agreements with several counties and boroughs to take a limited number of criminals, and although it is one of the pioneer reformatory insti tutions of the country, may be said to be a strictly private philanthropic institution. At the same time the act of incorporation defines the objects of the society's interference to be the children of convicted felons or children who have themselves been guilty of criminal practices. During last year 69 boys were admitted. The condition of the school con tinues to be highly satisfactory. In 1865 about 73 boys were discharged, of whom 18 emigrated, 16 went to service, and 3to sea. There are• about 259 at present in the school. Up to Dec. 31; 1865, 812 boys had been received under the Juvenile Offenders Act, of whom 175 had emigrated. The festival yesterday commenced with a thanksgiving service in the school chapel, which is situated at one ex tremity of the farm in the midst of flower and vegetable gardens full of wealthy bloom. The chapel was tastefully decorated throughout with evergreens and flowers, and each column was crowned with a Lilliputian wheatsheaf. The scho lars, in their clean white blouses and corduroy trowsers, occupied the seats facing the pulpit, and the visitors occupied the nave. It was touching to hear the young outlaws joining in hymns of thanks giving, the majority of the voices being in that nondescript stage which is neither treble nor bass. However, they all sang heartily together, calling upon great and small to join them in imploring that the sacred garner might be their ultimate portion. After a brief service, the Rev. E. Monroe, of Leeds, preached a sermon. It hardly lasted 20 minutes, and was neither read nor intoned ; therefore it rivetted the attention of the young criminals under the shadow of the pulpit, and the kind, brotherly tone and expression of the preacher made more than one eye moist. The subject selected was that of Ruth and the reapers in the field of Boaz, and it was so handled that he who " ran might read." The service over, the boys marched under their ban ners, and headed by their band, to the play ground, where, unfortunately, their enjoyment was considerably diminished by the persevering rain that set in just before the benediction was pronounced. Between five and six the lads crowded into a tent between the parsonage and the chapel, and there partook of their usual annual supper. The chair was taken by Mr. Gladstone, who addressed words of encouragement to the hearty and intelligent-look ing boys who heard him. They sang a considerable number of glees during the evening. One of the most interesting facts of the day was, that at the close of the chapel service a collection was made for the Chapel Improvement Fund, which was origi nated by a boy who, after being discharged from the school, had emigrated to the African colonies, and had at the earliest opportunity sent home £5 as a thank-offering. The donor, now a respectable member of society, happened to be present at the festival. The whole arrangements were superin tended by Mr. C. Walters, the resident chaplain, and Mrs. Walters, whose services in the cause were best illustrated by the tokens of affectionate respect invariably paid by all the scholars who approached them. MARLBOROUGII-STREET. MURDEROUS ATTACK ON AN " UNFORTUNATE." — .Morris M'Glashan, described as a waiter, of No. 6, Windsor court, Strand, but formerly keeping a public-house in the Coal-yard, Drury-lane, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with violently assaulting a young woman named Jeminia Sandey. The prosecutrix, whose head was bandaged, and who appeared to have been most most brutally assaulted, gave her evidence seated. She said—l liVe at No. 66, Audloy street. Last night I met the prisoner in the Haymarket. I took him home with me and he promised me a sovereign. As soon as I got into my room the prisoner tore off my clothes, threw mo on the bed, and then struck me about the body and head till he broke the poker in two. He gave mo several blows and the pOker was broken on my head. My head is badly hurt, and I lost a great deal of blood, and lam told my back is covered with bruises. It all arose because I would not let him stay till morning. I was taken to King's College Hospital in a cab. I was smothered in blood. Prisoner—Did I not ask you to lot mo leave the room ? Prosecutrix— No ; you did not. Prisoner—Did you not call for a man named " Jack ?" Prosecutrix—No ; I called for my landlady. Prisoner—l gave you half a sovereign. Prosecutrix—No you did not. A female, living in the next room to the prosecutrix, said—l was woke up by hearing the prosecutrix scream for a policeman. On going into the room with the landlady', I found the prosecutrix smothered in blood. (The witness hero held up several of the prosecutrix's articles of cloth ing, and they presented a most ghastly sight, being com pletely saturated in blood.) A constable came in, and the prosecutrix, who was sitting down, said, " Oh, my God, I think lam stabbed." I went with her and the constable to the hospital. Folice-constable Kittle, 42 F, went into the pro secutor's room last night, and found her covered with blood, and there was a deal of blood on the floor. She said she had been struck with a poker by the prisoner, and on looking about the room I found the poker broken in halves. The prisoner did not say anything. I took the prosecutrix to the King's College Hospital, where her head was dressed. Prisoner—l was returning home from a place of amuse ment, and met the prosecutrix, and went home with her. On getting into the room she asked for a sovereign, and then half a sovereign. I gave her a half sovereign. She then said that I should not leave the room until I gave her another. She then went into the ante-room and knocked against the wall, and called "Jack," and she then came up to me and seized me. Thinking some one was coming I seized a poker and went to the door, but could not get the key, it having been hidden by her. I tried to break off the lock, and she got between me and the door, and I admit I struck her, as I was in a state of great fear at the time, know ing that a man had been called for, and being in such a house in a low neighbourhood. Mr. Tyrwhitt (the female witness being recalled) —ls there any person named Jack in the house ?' The witness—There is not. All the prosecutrix called out was "For God's sake, get a policeman, Lizzie ; don't come alone." Mr. Tyrwhitt (to the prisoner)—l consider you a cowardly, brutal fellow who will bully a woman when you can. I shall remand you for a week to soe what occurs, as you may perhaps have to go to the Old Bailey, there being no knowing what may be the result of the injuries the pro secutrix has received. Assaults of a brutal nature on women will be always punished severely by me, and if nothing else occurs to the prosecutrix, you may depend upon it you will receive three months' imprisonment when you aro brought before me next week. THAMES. STEALING SUGAR ON THE RIVER.—EIWard Howell and Charles Howell, cousins, well-known to the Thames police, were brought up on remand before Mr Partridge, charged ith stealing four bags of sugar from a barge on the river. On the 3d of the present month, between 2 and 5 o'clock, 560 " mats" of sugar were put on board a barge belonging to Thomas Pellow and Son, lightermen at the Hibernia wharf, Southwark. The barge was navigated by William Barley, in the employ of Pellow and Son, to Fountain stairs, Bermondsey, and there left for some time. Pour bags or mats of sugar were stolen from the barge the same night. The weight of the whole was about 500 lbs. On the 4th of September Thomas Woolson Croft, a Thames police constable, No. 34, saw four bags of sugar in another barge, lying alongside the Wheatsheaf-wharf, Wapping, Middlesex side of the water. He at once suspected a rob bery had been committed, and watched the barge. At 12 o'clock at noon he saw the prisoners come on tho wharf from High-street, Wapping, walk to the jetty there, go close to the barge and look in. They were talking for a quarter of an hour. They went to a vessel, and George Howell returned, and went on board the barge, took a knife from his pocket, and cut open one of the bags of sugar. After examining the sugar, he pulled down an empty sack, climbed up a pole, and landed on the jetty. Woolsoncroft stopped him, and asked him what he had been doing on board the barge and what business he had there at all. The prisoner stoutly denied that ho had been on the barge at all. He was secured. Charles Howell, who had been looking on, ran away. Ho was apprehended a few days afterwards by Richard Knight, a Thames police constable, and on being charged with stealing the sugar, he said he knew nothing about it, and no one saw him with it. In answer to ques tions by Mr. Partridge, Woolsoncroft said that Charles Howell was on the jetty of the Wheatsheaf-wharf, looking on and could see all that George Howell was doing in the beige. The distance between the barge containing the four bags or mats of stolen sugar was the whole breadth of the river. Tho identity of the sugar having been proved, Mr. Partridge committed the prisoners for trial. WESTMINSTER. UNFORTUNATE VIOLENCE.—A very rospectable-looking middle-aged man applied to Mr. Flowers for redress under the following circumstances : Applicant said that at an early hour this morning the porter of Mr. Hoadsley, linen draper, at the corner of Brewer-street, Victoria-road, Pimlico, was sweeping out the shop, and at the time his (applicant's) son, a little boy, now present, was passing. Amongst the dirt swept out was a small piece of string, which the little boy stooped down and picked up, when the porter broke his arm. Mr. Flowers inquired how that was done. Applicant replied that ho seized him with great violence and chucked him into the road. Mr. Flowers asked the ago of the little boy, and whether applicant was present at the time. Applicant said his little boy was only 9 years of age. He (the father) was not present. He had gone to the houso upon finding the injury had been inflicted upon his child, and had there been told that if he did not go away he should be served in the same manner as his son had been. Mr. Flowers immediately granted a summons against tho person complained of. MARKETB.—Ihis Dap. METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Mr. Pope Hennessy, in a recently-published pamphlet, relates the following conversation with Lord Palmerston :—" It may not be uninteresting to mention the latest views upon the Rhenish fron tier of that experienced statesman, who signed the warrant for consigning Napoleon I. to St. Helena, and who, nearly half a century after, assisted with all his influence in restoring the French Empire under Napoleon 111. For the perfect accuracy of the following conversation the author can vouch. It was the habit of Lord Palmerston to converse often unreservedly in the tea-room of the House of Commons with political opponents—great leaders as well as humble privates—whom he was not likely to meet at Cambridge-house. Speaking in the summer of 1863 to one of the r%nk and file of the Opposition, he said, ' I hear from Paris that the Emperor has been talking to you again about Poland. Do you know what he really wants ?" I suppose,' was the reply, 'he wants you to keep the engagements which England shares in common with France, and which Lord Russell has in his despatches again and again—" Don't quote Lord John's despatches,' interrupted the Premier, let us talk sensibly ; don't you know the Emperor only wants the Rhine? Has he not been speaking about it ?" I really know nothing of the kind,' said the other. The Emperor is a man of business. He speaks always of the matter in hand, and he is not very likely to waste his time talking to me on an abstract question of remote politics.' Ah P replied Lord Palmerston, your favourite Poland is far more abstract and re mote even at this hour than the Rhenish frontier.' ' But supposing so,' rejoined the other, is it pos sible to see any such benefit to England in keeping the Rhenish frontier from France as would make you oppose its restoration?' Certainly not,' said the great Minister, certainly not; but there is a vast difference between opposing and encouraging. It would be insanity for us to oppose that which the French have such a natural desire to accomplish, and in which we have not the smallest direct inte rest one way or the other ; but there are good rea sons also why we must not do anything now to encourage them.' He returned to his seat in the house without saying what those reasons were."

Lifeboat Services. GORTHDEULLAN, North Wales.—lt blew a most teriffie gale here from N.W. yesterday (reports the Rev. J. Hughes). There were several ships in the bay riding very heavily, and one of them, the schooner Columbia, of Nefyn, was observed to be driving. Shortly afterwards she hoisted a signal of distress, when a lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution—the " Cotton Sheppard"—was at once launched to her assistance. After a severe pull, the sea • running mountains high, the lifeboat suc ceeded in reaching the vessel, and took off the crew of five men, who were every minute afraid the ves sel would break from her only remaining anchor, and would be dashed on the neighbouring rocks, which were fearfully near. Their only boat had previously been washed away and dashed to pieces. Before leaving the vessel some of the lifeboat's crew went on board and aided.to make her as secure as circumstances would allow, and she was then abandoned, as none of the crew would remain on board her. Fortunately the weather modr3rated, and she held on until this morning, when the crew returned to her, and succeeded in bringing her to a place of safety. THE CHOLERA. Yesterday, at a meeting of the committee, the Lord Mayor presiding, grants were made to the amount of £350 in all, viz., to Poplar, £lOO ; St. Nicholas, Deptford, £lOO, with nine gallons port w i n e ; Mile-end Old Town, 1100, and a similar quantity of port ; the Rev.

The Association of the Poor Law Medical Officers of London have had under their consideration the report of Dr. Smith upon the London Workhouse Infirmaries, and have just issued an elaborate criti cism upon this remarkable document. In the first place,. the Medical officers controvert Dr. Smith's opinions with respect to the minimum of cubical and floor space, and they say if the space given by Dr. Smith were to be taken in opposition to the opinion and experiments of eminent men in all parts of the world the London hospitals might be called upon to house three times as many patients as they now find room for. With respect to Dr. Smith's experiments, the medical officers show that wards cannot with 500 cubical feet of space to each patient be properly ven tilated, for the amount of air requisite to be kept passing through the wards would be injurious in the highest degree to all the patients, and even fatal to the subjects of bronchitis, pneumonia, and kidney disease, and many other diseases commonly seen in workhouse wards. The only point upon which the medical officers agree with Dr. Smith, is in his ad mission that there is a necessity for the abolition of pauper nursing, but they consider that more paid nurses than the number laid down by Dr. Smith are necessary. Nearly all the nursing, if it may be so called in the London workhouse was carried out until very lately by paupers, who had an extra ra tion of beer or gin for the performanee of this respon sible duty, and even now night nurses are unknown iri many London workhouses, where there are several hundred sick and infirm. At present there are about 'l3O paid nurses distributed over the 40 me tropolitan workhouses, and of those nearly one-half have been appointed for the first time during the last year. Dr. Smith considers that 130• more are immediately needed, making 260 altogether for the day and night superintendence of at least 6,000 ac tually sick persons. The Poor-law medical officers say, in conclusion, that they " cannot refrain from an expression of deep regret, and even pain, that they should have been under the necessity of reflect ing upon the fairness and sound judgment of their confrere, the medical officer to the Poor Law Board. They cannot, however, but feel that while his report is in many respects wanting in justice to the medi cal officers as a body, they also have reason, • from facts brought to their knowledge, to object to the manner in which some, at least, of his personal in spections were conducted ; and the persistency, and in some instances the scant courtesy, with which his peculiar views as to cubic space and ventilation were pressed upon individual medical officers. They regret that he shotild have so completely ignored the extreme difficulties, disadvantages, and discouragernents under which medical officers have hitherto laboured in carrying out their arduous and ill-requitted duties. Finding themselves now, for the first time, openly consulted upon questions of management and hygiene, and the Poor-law Board having manifested a disposition to open afresh those general principles which they had previously laid down as guides, by calling for the opinions of the medical officers, they cannot consent without pro test to see their opinions uncourteously dismissed as of no value because they do not agree with those of Dr. Smith. They appeal with confidence against the unfavourable verdict he has given, without adequate knowledge of the extremely unsatisfactory nature of their position for many years past to the judgment pronounced by Mr. Farnall in his report, which runs as follows Upon the whole, I am enabled with satisfaction to report to you that the medical officers of the metropolitan workhouses appear to me to do their duty to the best of their ability ; but lam obliged to add that in many instances their duties are very arduous, and their salaries inadequate.'" This report is signed by Dr. Rogers, the president, Dr. Andrews, Mr. C. M. Frost, Mr. T. Godrich, and Dr. T. Orme Dudfield. Liverpool Cot ton Market.— T his Day. - The market unaltered.

In the evening Mr. Beales attended a meeting in the Corn-exchange, which was pretty well filled, although the building was never crowded. The attendance on the platform was almost en tirely restricted to the Radical section of the Norwich Liberals, a fact which is not at all surprising seeing that the resolutions adopted nem. con. declared for residential regis• tered manhood suffrage protected by the ballot. Mr. Beales, who was, of course, warmly received, addressed the meeting. He appears, however, to have fairly talked himself hoarse ; in fact, he does not seem to possess eithJr the physical strength or the oratorical powers requisite for a popular speaker. The meeting closed amid some con fusion, some persons having succeeded in creating a considerable amount of discord, although the exact cause of the disturbance was not very intelligible.

In consequence of most of the trainers being at Doncaster the majority of their horses left behind are doing very little amount of exercise ; hence our reports from training quarters are scant of interest ing information just now ; but next week we shall be in a position to give acceptable details as to the work done by the leading Cesarewitch aud Cam bridgeshire candidates. NE WMARKET. Most of our trainers are at Doncaster, so that very little of consequence is stirring here now. Several of our Cesarewitch horses are in steady work, and amongst them, more particularly, Breeze, Lothario, Jollity, Il Re Galantuomo, and the Duke of York. Breeze follows Dalesmau a couple of miles each morning, and is getting back to her old form apparently. Tomahawk leads Lothario, and the latter goes first class a mile and three-quarters. Most of the others named above do close upon two miles each morning. Gladiateur is 'working by himself, and strides over the Bury-hill beautifully now. So does Friday. S T 0 CKBRID GE. Lord Ronald, Menace, and King Hal are doing good work for Brecon ; and Master Richard gallops nearly a mile and a half with Copenhagen and Kan garoo, Black Prince accompanying Mr. Pitt. Of the remainder at home only Lady Hester, Mrs. Stratton, Pantaloon, Lecturer, Rose Cheri, and Prodigal are doing any fair amount of exercise. RICHMOND. Our moor is exceedingly heavy, but most of the orses left at home are in good work, as our races are on next week. Rose and Plaudit are doing exceedingly well, but neither are likely to be stripped next week. The latter is being kept for the Middle Park, and will be a thorn iu the side of Achieve ment. El Cid, Lalage, Monolith, and others of Lord Zetland's aro galloping at half speed only. Zenobia and Moldavia do first class. j E R T Ii U y R N _ F s T A R z G E E T. IS , S O T Y . J.
