IltE SUN, LOM)oiN, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 11, 1866. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—Sept• 5. ADMIRALTY COURT. (Before the Right Hon. Dr.-Lushington.) His Lordship sat in chambers, and disposed of the fol lowing important application : THE LATE SEIZURE OF VESSELS BY THE AMERICAN GOVERN- MENT-THE U.,ITED STATES OF AMERICA T. PRIOLEAIT. This was an application by Mr. Prioleau, as owner of seven vessels at Liverpool and Birkenhead which had been seized by the marshal under a warrant of the Court, for the release of the same, on the ground that they belonged to him, and have been detained by the American Govern ment as having belonged to the Confederates in the late war. Mr. Milward, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Butt, appeared in support of the application for release, praying in each case that the vessels might be released without bail, and that the Government be condemned in costs, on the ground that the affidavit on which the warrant of arrest had been granted was defective aad insufficient. Tho matter was most seri ous to the defendant. There were seven vessels detained, and the property was understood to be worth £150,000.. Mr. Vernon Lushington, on the part of the United States, opposed the application, and characterised it as one of an unusual character. The case could proceed to hearing in the customary manner. _ His Lordship, after hearing a discussion on both sides, said he should require an order from Mr. Adams, the American Minister, or the Gounsul General, before the case was allowed to proceed. The venerable judge intimated that, if necessary, he would hear the case during the long vacation. _ Order accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. immediately, and another man struck her ou the back of the head with a stone. She lost a good deal of blood. Mr. Partridge fined the prisoner 405., and in default one month's imprisonment in the House of Correction. Tremendous Fire at Whitechapel. DESTRUCTION OP THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY GOODS STATION. This morning, shortly after ono o'clock, a most tremen dous fire broke out at the London and North Western Railway Goods Station, Haydon-square, Minories, which has laid in ruins property to the amount of many thousand pounds. The warehouses, seven stories in height, cover a large space of ground, and are surrounded by numerous small houses. The fire was discovered raging iu the top floor of the goods department, which contained saltpetre, whisky, and many other inflammable goods. Conductor Wood shortly afterwards arrived with the fire-escapa, when he found the flames travelling round the build ings, and aroused the inmates of the adjoining houses. The steam engines of Messrs. Shand, Mason, and Co. also arrived iu quick succession, as well as the Salvage Corps, with a large body of men, who got to work, under the direction of Mr. William Swanton, the superintendent, and Mr. William Withers, the foreman. The scene was most distressing at this moment, men, women, and children rushing out of their houses with anything they could place their hands upon. A good supply of water being obtained from the mains of the East London Water they set to work in first-rate style, the steam :engines entirely surrounding the buildings, but at the timethis report was written it was far from being subdued. Mr. B. Longhorn, of the North British and Mercantile Fire-office,. as well as Mr. Charles Meade, have made a most searching investigation as to the cause of the outbreak, but nothing at present can bo ascertained. The loss will fall on the Sun, Phoenix, Western, North British and Mercantile, Hercules, and other fire-offices. Dover and Cinque Ports Regatta. Yesterday opened, for the third time, most inauspiciously for this annual event. Dark clouds lowered, and a strong S.W. wind with a rough sea prevailed up to 10 o'clock, when the threatening weather culminated in a copious fall of rain, which seemed almost to decide that another postponement must take place. Towards noon, however, the rain ceased, the sky cleared, the wind moderated, and the sea calmed to an extent that justified the committee making preparations for holding the regatta. By a happy metamorphosis the town in the rn course of an hour or two changed its dull and dreary aspect for one of activity and liveliness. The regatta was under the patronage of Earl Granville, Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports ; Lord Willoughby d'Eresby, Lord Sondes, the Mayor of Dover, Major Dickson, M.P. ; Mr. C. K. Freshfield, M.P. Luke P. ;Sir B. Smithett;W' Go . P . • ; S o i d r s o E n . , B M ° Capt. MP. Sir Jenner, R.N.; Mr. J. J. Ellis ; Mr. J. Penn; Capt. Bruce, R.N. ; Mr. J. C. Ottaway, &c. Sir Luke Smithett ably officiated as judge Shortly before 1 o'clock the Dover Harbour Boaed's steamer Palmerston was moored in the bay abreast Clarence-lane as a. committee boat ; but though as the tide went down the water became smoother in the bay, there were but few venturous enough to put off in rowing boats for pleasure. Without delay, however, the preparations were made for the first race, being a sailing match between yachts, over 30 ton; for a purse of 60 sove, open to all yacht clubs ; first prize, 50 sous ; second prize, 10 sous ; a quarter of a minute allowed for difference of ton nage. Only three yachts entered, viz., Vindex, 45 tons, A. Duncan, London, owner ; Sphynx, 47 tons, A. C. Mends lay, London, owner; Christabel, 51 tons, A. C. Kennard, London, owner. At 1.48 precisely the yachts started at the signal of a gun. The course was from the committee vessel round South Sand Head twice—a total distance of about 25 miles, and as by this time the wind had veered round more westerly the yachts had no difficulty in getting off. All three yachts got away smartly, the Sphinx in the van ; but when they rounded the committee vessel on the first return, about 4 o'clock, Christabel was first. The yachts came in at the conclusion of the race a few minutes before 6 o'clock, Christabel 11 minutes before the Sphinx, and the Sphinx 7 minutes before the Vindex. The second race— a sailing match for yachts under 30 tons, for a purse of 30 sous.—did not fill. The other races were of minor importance. The sports concluded with a duck hunt. The Dover lifeboat (the Royal Wiltshire) was launched and exercised in the bay during the afternoon. There was a numerous concourse of visitors and other spectators lining the promenades and beach, who were enlivened by the performances of the band of the 44th Regiment. A grand display of fireworks and a balloon ascent closed the out door amusements of the day. MARKS Ts. -..This Day. HAY.

Sir,—My object in now addressing the following through your columns is to remove the doubt entertained by many, with regard to the subject it treats upon ; hence I request that you will be pleased to aid in giving it an early venti lation. I have perused with some interest the correspondence which passed somo time ago, between Major Macauly, of the 23d Regt. L. 1., and Munora correspondent of the Sin dian, regarding.tb.o contest of the cobra and the mongoose. Major Macauly asserted that the mongoose dies from the inflammation caused by the bite of the cobra ; while on the other hand the Sindian maintained from the effects of the venom, and the sure remedy of the animal against it was the particular herb. I did not place any reliance upon the veracity of these statements (which had been the case with many of its readers, as somo supposed that the mongoose had a prophylactic in its blood, and others hold different hypothesis) till of late, when I had the opportunity of witnessing the encounter of the two inveterate foes. The assertion of the Munora correspon dent, I observed, was borne upon a fact. The particulars of the combat I will briefly relate for public information. A large cobra was seen issuing out of a bramble-bush as if the animal was pursued by an enemy. Subsequently a full grown mongoose seemed to be the pursuer. The snake ex hibited signs of great fear and alarm and hastened to run away as soon as possible ; the mongoose was evidently un willing to let the pursued escape ; and in order to arrest the course of the ,cobra, it took a semi-circle course and came upon it, whereupon the former halted and raised itself with expanded hood hissing at its assailant. The mon goose, daunting nothing at his formidable adversary's threats, began to Move in a circle round the cobra, with a low purring as that of a cat. He made several cieuits, the cobra twisting on all sides he moved, and within that time gradually raised itself to the full length, standing almost perpendicular, only the tip of the tail being on the ground, as if the cobra had great apprehension of its head, which it held as high as possible beyond the reach of the mongoose. This scheme effected naught. The opponent now shifted, and making a mighty bauud passed over tho head of the cobra and camp at its back. The cobra instantly faced him. Having repeated the feat two or three times, the mongoose stepped backward to the distance of newly 3ft., and then taking a proper aim, suddenly darted upon the cobra and inflicted a severe bite on the neck, both fall ing down. At the same time the mongoose, still retaining the hold, the cobra twisted over the mongoose very tightly. This brought him to the upshot of yielding to the power of his enemy, as I plainly saw that the mongoose could not move his limbs for him, but only kept his hold fast. In this position they struggled at intervals, and at times lay motionless. The contest between these two well-known enemies began at nine a.m. and ended at about teh. I observed the above occurrence from behind the stem of a large tree at a distance of 24 or 25 yards. Now curiosity drew me nearer, behind another one, which left only a space of 14 or 15 yards be tween me and the scene of the combat. Thence I had a clearer view as to what was going on. Tho mongoose out matched the cobra, though he was the longest I ever saw. The cobra grasped him solightly that I believed the crea ture would die, and not being able to retain his hold he gave in. The cobra, availing himself of the opportunity, inflicted a severe sting, I cannot say on which part of its antagonist's body, and instantly raised his head angrily. The mongoose drew back and left the place apparently with symptoms of much distress, and got into an adjoining bush. The cobra moved not an inch from the spot, stood as before with expanded hood and looking in the direction the mongoose had gone. Now I felt that the fight was over and intended to find my way from the place, but to my astonishment, before 15 minutes could pass, the mongoose returned with redoubled strength and activity, went direct to the cobra, masticating something. He then sprang at the cobra and hit the animal on the same part he had first done. Both fell to the ground, and after a desperate struggle, which lasted for nearly 18 minutes, the cobra was totally conquered. It began to relax its hold ; ultimately stretching on the ground and quivering its tail, it expired. The mongoose devoured a small portion of his victim's flesh and left the residue on the spot for his comrades to feast upon, and finally quitted the field. The mongoose has no prophylactic gland to counteract the effect of the cobra's sting ; but the particular herb is the only sure antidote against the venom. Vypean, April 25th. A. WOODCOCK. HEAVY BETTING.—In an elaborate article on the evils of heavy betting, the " Gentleman in Black," in Baily's Magazine, gives the two following sketches :—The Duke of A— is a young man, who has had a long minority, and inherits, at one-and-twenty, a very hand some income even for a man in his exalted position of life. He has gone through the ordinary education of an English gentleman, and on his accession to his property is not long in discovering that he has a taste beyond thin bread and butter and the organ. The inclinations of an English man make themselves conspicuous. He longs for the county hounds, and they aro not unwillingly surren dered by his predecessor, who has discovered that that bed of roses has its share of thorns. In process of time he feels that good may be done by giving a proper impetus to turf pursuits. He is quite acute enough to know in doing it ho may bo done ; that ho may make his debut to a crowd which admires his pecuniosity quite as much as himself. Still he has some faith in that common sense.andhighfeeling which has carried through some of his predecessors unscathed. Ho purchases a stud, not of such overwhelming magnitude that he scarcely knows what half of them are doing, or where half of them are kept. He takes care that the few he has shall be as good as his own judgment, aided by long experience of others, can procure. In this way he commences a racing stud ; a stud, be it re marked, not made up of third or fourth-rate horses, which ,are only worth keeping with the hope of a favourable handi cap, in which 20 losses shall be made up by one great win ; but one in which blood and symmetry unite, and from which his efforts may well bo directed to the acquisition of a Derby, a Leger, or an Oaks. Of course, so valuable a prey is not to be allowed to escape without some efforts to land him. Such efforts are vain. Why ? Because, rich as ho is, he feels no anxiety to risk monkeys, when the nobler animal, a pony, will do. If he really were a needy man, who shall say what he might do ? Being a Duke, with a rent roll of some £60,000 a-year, why should he de sire to make it more by the loss of a neighbour? He is above the charge or suspicion of avarice, surely ; and his' pony or two suffice to give him what is politely called " an interest in the race." This being the case, why should he act any part but that of an openhanded and openhearted English gentleman ? He has no object to gain in immoderate gamb ling; he avoids the snares which would be invariably set for himself; he maintains the dignity of his positipn free from damaging associates (for even dukes do not raise blacklegs to their own level) ; ho has a sufficient excitement beyond the stakes, in backing his favourite for a pony or two ; he sets a good example to those few persons who are influenced by habits of high birth, and has the satisfaction of knowing that he is joining in the national amusements of his country, and improving the breed of horses, with out detriment to his reputation or fortune. If he loses his money he can afford to do so without letting his temper follow it ; if he wins, he sets at defiance the insinuation of sordid motives by the moderation of the stake. The Marquis:of B— is a young man, whose education, in like manner, has been attended with those advantages which accompany a well-cultivated taste for Greek iambics, cricket, rat hunting, and the Christopher, and which has been further strengthened by the strong meats of the Uni versities or the Household Brigade. He starts in life with advantages equal to those of his friend and companion. Ho is as well-bred and as wealthy, and ie l not long in discovering he too will do well to participate in what is commonly that known as the national sport. But his mind is of a different caste to his friend. He is susceptible to flattery, which is discreetly administered by a discriminating press; and to the calls of ambition, whose satisfaction will be attained only by an immediate notoriety. His early plunges are therefore void of the prudence which has marked the career of his neighbour. He instructs his commissioners to spare no expense, to stop at no price, in the purchase of his hums, and to limit themselves neither in the number nor the extravagance of his bets. He becomes the talk of the town. Gentlemen of equal fortune and equal rank wonder how long it will last, and smile at the vulgarity of the ostenta tion. Those who would imitate a marquis at any price, end with the fable of the frog and the ox. The harpies rejoice, and silently chuckle over the feast which the fulfilment of their hopes is providing. The stud grows larger and less valuable, and heavy " coups" come off less frequently ; what began by being a pleasure has now become a passion. The lawyer steps in and helps the money-lender. Bit by bit the noble property is being shorn of its ancient glory. Tho Irish estates are gone ; there is a mortgage on Dunderhead, and S wampstead is in the hands of the Jews. Then comes a certainty at last. The Derby colt has had a surprising trial; he will not be brought out for the Two Thousand. T he Marquis of B---- stands to win one hundred and seventy thousand to nothing; so says the "Penny Gaff," which knows all about marquises, and must be right. Then commence various manipulations about the horse. Now ho is down at 10 to 1, ataiu he is up at 3 to 2 ; down he goes again, and then the public discover that he is a roarer. He takes his gallop between two known roarors, and again the "Gaff" and the public aro at a loss. Two days before the Derby the horse is scratched, and the Marquis goes abroad. The world and the " Gaff" abuse him, and believe that he has saved S tvampstead by the lost Derby. The fact is, that he knows nothing about the business, but has been swindled by trainer, jockey, tout, and commiss io ner, and finds that he can only save Dunderhe ad b y four years of continental economy, during which time the tenants who regarded him, the friend s and family who loved . him, and all who know his goo d qualities, are left to moralise on the termination of a career which collapsed under the pressure of " heavy bet tin g ." Of the unfortunate frogs who have endeavoured to imitate the bull. some are liviag on their brothers and sisters in a dishonourable depend ence ; others are unable to show their faces in this country, and feel ashamed of them in almost any other ; and no in considerable portion of t hem have returned to their natural condition of the gaol and the workhouse. The Marquis of B---- will begin life again upon a diminished income and popularity in the course of eight or ten years, but with a matured judgment and higher sense of enjoyment. BOW-STREEr. Absolom King was charged with stealing three glasses from the Prince of Wales publichouse, at the corner of Drury-lane and Great Queen-street. The barman stated that on the previous night the pri soner and two other men entered the house and called for a quartern of brandy, with which he served them in three glasses. They drank that and two other quarterns of brandy, and then they left together. They all appeared quite sober when they came in, but after drinking the brandy the prisoner appeared very drunk. After they lett he missed the three glasses, and went after. them. He could not see'the other two, but he followed the prisoner until he met a policeman, to whom the prosecutor pointed him out, and charged him with stealing the glasses. The policeman asked him if he had any glasses belonging to the Prince of Wales. He said " Yes," and, taking a glass from his pocket, gave it to the policeman. The constable said, "Any more ?" and the prisoner took from another pocket a second glass. The constable said "Now have you got the other ?" and he then gave up the third glass. He was taken to the station-house. Tho' constable said the prisoner seemed to In so drunk that ho did not know what ho was about. Mr. Abrams, for the defence, said that the prisoner was a man of excellent character, and he hoped to convince the magistrate that he was a man incapable of any wilful dishonesty. No doubt he was excessively drunk, and might have taken the glasses in a drunken blunder, or his companions who probably were as tipsy as himself might have put them in his pocket for what is vulgarly termed a " lark." Even if the magistrate thought the prisoner had taken the glasses, ho would probably, under the circum stances, think himself justified in treating the case as one of unlawful possession. _ _ _ Several respectable witnesses proved that the prisoner had worked three years as a gauger of coment on the Thames Embankment works, and had borne an excellent character. The barman said that as the prisoner was working man, and not a regular thief, he did not wish to press for a heavy punishment. Mr. Vaughan—Do you wish to withdraw tho charge ? Witness—l don't wish to withdraw it bearing against him. Mr. Vaughan said he could not treat it as a case of un lawful possession, nor could he accept the suggestion thrown out that it was the trick of the prisoner's com panions. if it were so they would have been called. The prisoner, by Mr. Abram's advice, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to seven days' imprisonment with hard labour. MANSION-HOUSE. UTTERING- BAD COlN.—William Scott was brought up on remand, charged with uttering two counterfeit half crowns, well-knowing thorn not to be genuine. From the evidence of a young girl, waitress at a coffee shop kept by a widow named Cliff, at 113, Bishops gate-street, it appeared that about twelve o'clock on Friday night last, the prisoner came to the coffee shop and was served with refreshments, for which he gave her what appeared to bo a good half-crown, which she put into a till which had no other coin of that amount, and gave the prisoner 2s. change. He came shortly afterwards and tendered her another coin, which she at once detected as being bad. She called her mistress, who gave him into custody ; and on searching the till the other coin was found to be a bad one. Mrs. Cliff proved to having emptied the till a short time before the prisoner came to the shop. On being searched at the station, 4s. 6d. in good silver and 2d. wore found on the prisoner. The prisoner, who denied his knowledge of the coin being spurious, was fully committed for trial at the Cen tral Criminal Court. ANOTHER CASE OF UTTERING COUNTERFEIT COIN.- -Charles Carter was charged with attempting to pass a bad half-crown under the following circumstancesi— Yesterday about three o'clock in the afternoon he went into the Jerusalem public-house, 48 and 49, Bishopsgate street Without, and called for a half-quartern of rum. When the barman served him he gave the coin in question, which the former at once detected as being 'counterfeit, and he jumped over the counter and collared him, as he was about running away. _ _ _ The prisoner denied that he ever moved, and said that he had received it at a place called Club-row in the neigh bourhood, whore he had sold a cage, and he was quite ignorant that it was bad. Police-constable 70, of the City force, said that when he took the prisoner into custody he denied being aware that the coin was not genuine, and ho gave an address at a coffee shop in the City-road, where he was not known. Ile had no money on Lim when given in charge. Mr. Alderman Finnis remanded the prisoner for a week. WESTMINSTER. VIOLENT .ASSAULTS ON THE POLlCE.—George John so n, 130, Tachbrook-street, Pimlico, plumber, was charged with assaulting a police constable in the execution of his duty, and, doing damage to his helmet to the amount of 15s. Jonathan Rickards, 70 B, said—l was on duty et half past one this morning in Rochester-row, and saw four per sons (the prisoner one of them) at the corner of Wilton street. They were making a noise, and I ordered them on. The prisoner picked up a quart pot and threw it at me, striking me on the coat tail. I took no notice of it, and still ordered them on. The prisoner then struck me violently in the eye, and one of his companions hit me in the back. My helmet was knocked off by the prisoner. I was knocked down and kicked about the body by all of them, the prisoner being ringleader. I held him on the ground, another constable and two gentlemen came up, and we got him to the station. My helmet, value 155., is perfectly useless. _ - Grant, 289 B, proved assisting. One of tho prisoner's companions was smashing the helmet. Prisoner declared that Rickards was drunk and assaulted him fist, and that the others attacked him. Ile was severely beaten. William Nicholls, 86 B, reserve man at the station, was present when the charge was taken. Prisoner was drunk, the constable quite sober. A gentleman said if he had not interfered the constable would have been killed. Prisoner had no witnesses to call. Mr. Dayman said the question was, who should he credit, those witnesses on oath, or the prisoner, who ac knowlodged ho was drunk ? He put no faith in what tho prisoner said. Prisoner was fined 40s. for the assault, 15s. damage, or one month's hard labour. THAMES. A TROUBLESOME CUSTOMER.--john Ryan, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting Mr. Hayward, land lord of the Gun Tavern, High-street, opposite Gun dock, Wapping, and also assaulting Police -constable Palmer, No. 258 K. The prisoner went into the Gun last night. Ile was intoxicated, and demanded refreshment, which Mr. Hay ward, the landlord, a very respectable man, refused to supply him with, and ho made a great disturbance. Mr. Hayward desired him to leave the house, which he refused to do, and struck the landlord with his hat on the face. Mr. Hayward wished the prisoner to be forgiven, on the ground that he was a hard working man with a family— on which Mr. Partridge said—" I suppose he is in the habit of using your house." Mr. Hayward said that it was so, and that he was generally very quiet. The constable, No. 258 said that when he was called upon to take the prisoner into custody, ho threw him on the ground, fell upon Lim and beat him. This was re peated several times. At last he drew his truncheon, and told the prisoner that he would use it if he did not desist. The prisoner then became comparatively quiet and svgs locked up. . . Mr. Partridge sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of 40s. or be imprisoned for ono month. A Row IN PALMER'S Foixr.—Edward Walsh, an Irish- American sailor, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with assaulting Mary Ann Morris, who appeared in court with a severe wound on the back of herhead and a black eye, which was much inflamed. There was a quarrel and fight in one of tho infamous dens in Palmer's Folly, Rateliff Highway, last night, and some Irish-American sailors used their fists and their boots too, and in the course of the ,row the prisoner struck the complaivaut ou the left 4e, from which the blood streamed Liverpool Cotton Market. —This Day. The market opens quiet, and prices still continue to droop. Sales probably 10,000 bales. THE PRINCE DE CONDE.—The body of the young Prince de Condd has arrived at Southampton, and will be conveyed to the Roman Catholic chapel at Weybridge to-day. A marriage will shortly take place between H. St. John L. M. T. Le Marchant, Royal Horse Artillery, eldest son of Mr. L. M. Thomas•Lo Marchant, of Sea View, Isle of Wight, and Guernsey, and the widow of the late Captain Purcell, 13th Hussars, and daughter of Sir John Hosketh Lethbridge, Bart., of Sandhill Park, Somerset shire. THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN WALES.—GLENDWY FACH, NORTH WALES, MONDAY.—As the excite ment caused in this neighbourhood by tho fearful accident on the Carnarvonshire Railway last Thursday lessens, it becomes possible to get fuller and more accurate details of the circumstances attending it. The line running between Carnarvon and Portmadoc, a distance of about twenty miles, is part of the Cambrian system, and had just been finished by the contractor, Mr„Themas Savin, and awaited the inspection of the government officer before being for mally opened for traffic. Yielding to a repeated solicita tion of the people at Portmadoc and other places along the line, Mr. Savin, however, unfortunately permitted a spe cial excursion train to run to Carnarvon on the occasion of the meeting of the Calvinistic Methodists' Association in that town, with the fatal result already recorded. A de rangement of the points near this station (where the ac cident occurred) was undoubtedly the immediate cause of the catastrophe; and it is believed by those connected with the line that the point s had been tampered with by some curious onpassing over the cross i ng. I t seems th a t when engine and tender ran off the line the shock the person e rs broke the coupling chain of the second carriage, and thus only two of the carriages followed the engine, and were smashed, the rest of the train keeping on the main line, and avoiding the collision. It is owing to the fact that the number of injured passengers in a train conveying about eight hundred is so remarkably slight in comparison with those killed on the spot. Mrs. Evans, one of the pas sengers in the second carriage, died yesterday, this making the number of deaths six. The names of several more passengers who have sustained injuries more or less serf-' ous, have been a scertained, but the li s t d oes no t y e t e xceed t On in Friday an inquest was opene d h ere 'W ore th o • w of the bodies, Which had been laid in the shed adjoining the stat i o n. No evidence beyond that vi coroner, necessary for the identification of the bodies was taken, and the inquiry was then adjourned till to-morrow. TIIE YORKSHIRE HARVEST.--The state of the weather has now become a matter of very serious import to the farmers of the two agricultural sections of this county. Tho Doncaster week has come —the period when the har vest-home suppers are usually held_ and fully one-half the crop e small portion of it secured. The but the almost constant showers, with a warm temperature, render harvest work floodsis uncut, have and but ed od a trying in the extreme. C or n in some parts has never been ireec v e e r r u y iinly, fairly dry for the last three Weeks, and sprouting has in consequence been far too general. The farmers' hopes were all centred upon the new moon of Sunday, which period was generally looked to for a cliange of weather. Sunday, however, was wet, and up to noon yesterday rain still fell. There was, however, an improvement in the afternoon, when the sun broke forth, but the wind still kept due soutl4. Rain, however, had quite ceased, THE AUTUMN HANDICAPS.

THE MARQUIS DE MOUSTIER.—The Avenir Na tional says respecting the new Foreign Minister of France :—" The Marquis de Moustier is connected by mar riage with one of the great clerical families of Belgium. He married the daughter of Count Werner de Merode, and is thus also allied to Count de Montalembert. It is supposed that M. de Moustier does not hold clerical opi nions, and he has never had any very intimate relations with M. de Montalembert. By his marriage the Marquis de Moustier has acquired large estates in Belgium. WESTMINSTER REGISTRATION.—Mr. F. H. Bacon, the newly-appointed revising barrister, has fixed Wednes day, the 17th October, for the Westminster registration. The metropolitan districts, as well as the county of Mid dlesex, have been placed in new hands for revision. PRINCE NAPOLEON.—According to the Journal de Havre Prince Napoleon was momentarily expected at that port, where his yacht lay in readiness to start. It was understood that his Imperial Highness would visit the coasts of England. PROLIFIC OATS.--On Friday last, on a stalk of oats cut from a field on Balckford, leased by Mr. Jack, were counted no less than 263 pickles of corn. The stalk has also this peculiarity, that from near the base sprung out a subordinate branch, with a distinct ear of corn upon it. The variety of oats was the Providence, first brought into notice by Mr. Steadman, Boghall.—Scotsman. CHINESE MODE OF MAKING CHANGE.—A novel way of making change recently occurred at Hong Kong, China. An American having complained to a native judge of a tailor who had cheated him, the official sentenced the culprit to fifty blows of the bastinado—a sentence which was at once executed, and the American charged fifty cents costs. The judge, not being able to change the dollar given him by the American, the latter humorously told him to take it out in the same manner. Accordingly the tailor was again tied down and received fifty more blows, thus making up in his own person the required change. ACCIDENT TO MR. J. C. DEANE. —lntelligence has just been received of an accident to Mr. J. C. Deane, the secretary of the Anglo-American Telegraph Company. It appears that on the 15th of August ho fell from the bridge of the Groat Eastern steamer and fractured his left arm. Ho remains on board the Great Eastern, and is progress ing favourably. DEEPENING OF THE SEINE.---The Journal de Rouen learns from Paris that the Government has just given orders to commence works for the deepening of the Seine between Paris and that city, so as to secure a uniform depth of about '2 metres (61 feet). The expense of these works i estimated at 6,500,000 fr. A FATHER ACCIDENTALLY SHOT BY HIS SON. — On Friday morning considerable excitement was occasioned in the village of Gomshall, near Guildford, by the circulation of a report that Mr. Cole, a gentleman resid ing at Woodlands Farm, a short distance from Shore, had boon shot by his son, and on inquiry it turned out that the rumour was well founded. It appears that on the morn ing in question Mr. Cole was out shooting with , his son, who is a youth of 15 or 16 years of age, in a field belong ing to Mr. Killick, between the small village commonly called " The Hammer" and Sutton. Mr. Cole left his son, and went on to some high ground at a distance of about 50 yards, in search of some partridges. He was partially con cealed from view, when a partridge rose in front of the son in a direct line with his father. The youth immediately fired, but did not kill the bird, and the shots, which spread very much, struck his father in the hands, face, abdomen, and legs, and inflicted several wounds, which bled pro fusely, and which at first sight appeared to be of a very serious character. Assistance was at once procured, and the wounded gentleman was conveyed to his residence, where he was attended by Mr. T. J. Sells, surgeon, of Guildford, and subsequently by Dr. Capron, of Shore, and the shots were for the most part extracted. Considerablein difficulty was experienced by the medical gentlemen stopping the haemorrhage, and it was feareduthbastegtuheourtiey sults would be very serious ; but this was checked, and the patient is now in a fa ir ''' the o f his father. The poor boy, who was unwittingly att. chief, was greatly horrified at the condition author of the mis chief, o f recovery. or West Surrey Times.

The poor woman was found lying on the floor, a pool of blood at her side, and she apparently dying. The man, imme diately after attempting the murder, cut his own throat. lie was taken to the Poplar Hospital, but it was thought uuadvisable to move the woman in her then precarious state. It is said that the cause of the crime was jealousy, the man having "kept company " - with the woman for some time past. An Austrian subject, J.

(From our own Special Turf Correspondent). DONCASTER, Tuesday Morning. We shall have a great meeting here, for up to last night more than a hundred and fifty horses were quartered in the locality. Most of these were at exorcise on tho Town Moor early this morning ; and amongst them we especially noted Achievement, Grand Cross, Knight of the Crescent, Lord Lyon, Marksman, Podargus, Regalia, Rustic, Rama, Repulse, Rapid Rhone's dam colt, Strathconan, Tormentor, Scour do Charite, West wick, and War. The two Leger cracks, Lord Lyon and Savernake did not arrive until after 4 o'clock yesterday, and the former went to the Salutation, whilst the latter was taken to the King's Read. Unfortunately during exercise yesterday Elland hurt himself ; but we understand that Mr. R. Sutton is determined to run Lord Lyon for the Doncaster Cup, whataver his Leger fate may be, and for the Doncaster Stakes also. The ground is not near so heavy as our metropolitan friends generally fancy it is, and this morning Gardevisure (ridden by Thomas) took Lord Lyon (with Custance up) a nice steady gallop• of over a mile and a half, and no ani mal in the world could move or look better than the Two Thousand and Derby hero. Dover has bvidently given him a splendid preparation, for the colt is as fine as a star, as hard as nails, as strong as a lion, and as docile as a lamb. He cannot possibly be beaten, for Mr. Sutton makes no secret of his being pounds better than he was on the Derby day (in fact as good as Elland at even weights), and it is very certain that Custance will be half a stone better jockey in the north than he was in the south. His lordship, too, likes the course, and his legs are free from all trace of infirmity. Gardevisure also gave Achievement a gentle gallop. Grand Cross and Scour de Charite went brilliantly, as did Friponnier. Liddington led Marksman and the Blanche of Middlebie filly, and Mr. Merry's colt is certainly much improved, and lays well down to his work. Mat Dawson galloped Opoponax, Pericles, Misfortune and Moleskin. Mini is look ing very dickey, but he may possibly be a Leger starter, as may Artesian, Emigrant, and the Irish representative Assassin. Regalia galloped by herself as usual, and is looking first class. The same may be said of Caithness. Podargus (J. Osborne riding) went at three parts speed with Quick March; and Strathconan (J. Snowden up) was taken along at a merry pace by Dolan ; the four-year-old Flutter colt piloting Savornake jChal loner in the saddle), all a mile and a half at fair spend. War showed the way for Weetwick, the whole of the Leger course, the latter doing it beautifully ; but Knight of the Crescent (Norman), led by Knight of St. Michael, did not go quite so far as Mr. Bowes's couplet. Jack-in the Green galloped Rustic, and Repulse followed Crytheia and Ischia, Rustic looks a different horse altogether to what he did on the Knavesmire, but ho is unquestionably a soft-hearted brute. Artesian appears very fit, and Ostre efonitleorw, o w d h li e i h lk a e e n g n n y t , a g n o d r i b s o f u a n n d c s ied al f o e n r g t h s e p c le u n p di ; d e ly e . is Mama back to her old form.
