THE SUN, - LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 27, 1865. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day). COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (sittings at Nisi Prius in Middlesex, beforo Mr. Justice Keating and a Common Jury.) D'ALCORN T. SEDAIID.-COPYRIGHT IN "JOLLY DOGS." This was an action to recover damages for an alleged in fringement of copright in the popular song known as "Jolly Dogs," or " Slap-bang." The plaintiff was a music publisher in Rathbone-place, and the defendant carried on a similar business in Holborn. In October, 1864, the plaintiff bought the copyright of the song in question of Mr. Harry Cope land, who had written it; and at great expense the plain tiff brought the song fully under the notice of the public. The full name of the song was "Jolly Dogs : We're all Jolly Dogs; such Jolly Dogs are we; or Slap-bang, here we aro again ;" and in February, 1865, defendant published a polka called "The Slap-bang, here we are again Polka," and in the course of the dance the dancers were to sing "Slap-bang, here we are again ; what jolly folks are we." The plaintiff did not claim any copyright in the music of his song, but the infringement that he complained of was the use of words so similar to those of his song. Mr. James this morning addressed the jury for the defence, and contended there was no infringement of the copyright. The tune, he said, was as common as half pence, and was whistled and sung by the children in every court, alley, and street in the metropolis. The jury stopped the learned gentleman in his address, and gave a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF PROBATE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde, without Juries.) STARES AND OTHERS T. BOWLER AND OTHERS. This was a suit to try the validity of an alleged codicil to the will of the late Dr. Richard Ring, of South Hambledon, near Portsmouth. The property in dispute was consider able, the personalty having been sworn under £40,000, and the heritable property being worth some £2,000 per annum. The only question to be decided, is, whether the execution of the codicil was that of the testator or not. The case was not finished at the rising of the Court to day. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) SHERIFFS' OFFICERS AND PROTECTED BANICRUPTS-IMPOR- TANT DECISION-REYNOLDS V. HOLMES, This was a case of considerable importance both to pro fessional men and traders, plaintiff being a sheriffs' officer, and defendant an attorney of the Poultry. It appeared that the plaintiff was directed by defendant to arrest a debtor upon a writ of ca. sa. When the plaintiff captured his man the latter went quietly to the lock-up, but upon his arrival there the debtor produced his discharge and order of protection from the Court of Bankruptcy. Plain tiff took a copy of the order and discharged the debtor, no' suing for his fee. Defendant set up that as the debtor was wrongfully ar rested plaintiff was not in a position to recover his fee ; and plaintiff replied that not only was he not bound to ask a debtor if he were protected, but there was a case in which it had boen expressly decided in the Superior Court that a Sheriffs' officer was not liable in damage for arrest ing a bankrupt who was protected by the Court of Bank ruptcy from all writs. His Honour, fn giving judgment this morning, said that plaintiff was entitled to recover his fee, because he was obliged to complete the capture before the writ could be said to be executed. In the present case a writ had been sent to the plaintiff, who had acted upon it, and it was perfectly clear that such writ was an order of the Queen to arrest a debtor, and the Sheriffs' officer was bound to execute it. His Honour had looked intothe authorities upon the subject and found that there could be no doubt upon the question,' and that when the officer had effected the capture he was entitled to the fee. Verdict for the plaintiff with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO APPRENTICES.—Edwin Timmins was charged, on a warrant, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, for that he, being an apprentice bound by indenture, did unlawfully absent himself from the employ of Joseph Phillips, of 31, Thomas-Street, Grosvenor-square, his master, without leave. M. E. Dillon Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the complainant, and called Joseph Phillips, who said the defendant was his appren tice, being bound by indenture on the 24th October, 1864. Since that time he had obtained two summonses and two warrants against the defendant for absenting himself with out leave. On one occasion the defendant was sentenced to one month's imprisonment, with hard labour. On Satur day last the defendant was again absent:without leave, and told him afterwards he had been in the park to see the re view. Ho then applied for a warrant against him. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the defendant seemed to be quite in corrigible, and he should, therefore, sentence him to six weeks' imprisonment with hard labour. He would also in form the defendant that he would have to serve the six weeks with his master also before his apprenticeship ex pired. Metropolitan Board of Works• The usual meeting of this Board was held yesterday at the-offices in Spring-gardens. The president, Sir John Thwaites, took the chair at 12 o'clock. FINANCE.

The PRESIDENT said that he was sure he was only re presenting the feelings of the whole Board in expressing his great regret at the sudden death of one of their best and oldest members, Mr. D'lffanger. (Hear, hear.) He was always faithfully at his post of duty both to the con stituents and to the Board. (Hear.) Mr. SAVAGE moved, " That the expression of feeling on the part of the President, in reference to the deceased, should be entered on the minutes."--Ordered. PROPOSED GRATUITIES TO THE ENGINEERS-REPORT OF THE MAIN DRAINAGE COMMITTEE. Mr. MILLER, M.P., brought up a report from the Main Drainage Committee, recommending that the sum of £lO, 000 be granted to the engineer and his three assistants, in re cognition of their services in connection with the execu tion of the main drainage works; the sum of £,6,000 being awarded to the engineer, and the sum of £4,000 to his assistants, in proportion to the amount of the works exe cuted under their superintendence. _ _ _ The PRESIDENT then called upon Mr. Smith, the soli citor of the Board, to read the opinion given by counsel upon the case laid before them in reference to this subject, which was as follows : " OPINION. "It is somewhat doubtful whether the Metropolitan Board have power in strictness to vote a sum of money by way of extra remuneration for services already performed. But, if the Board upon mature consideration shall be of opinion that the works have been designed, constructed, and carried out to the present time to the advantage of the public, and that the future assistance and active zealous co operation of the present engineers should be secured during the future progress of the works, and until the final com pletion, and the settlement of the accounts with the con tractors, we see no objection to the Board securing the future services of these gentlemen, either by large pre'sent payments of money, or increased salaries during the poriod which must necessarily elapse before the works are com pleted, and the accounts finally settled with the contractors. (Signed) " WM. BOVILL. " JOID7 RAYMOND. " Temple, May 19, 1865." _ . Mr. MILLER then moved, " That after the opinion given by counsel upon the subject, the whole of the matter should bo referred back to the committee forfurther consideration." Mr. TITE, M.P., seconded the motion, and, in doing so, took occasion to speak in high terms of the services of the engineers. _ _ _ Mr. LYON approved of the motion, and noticed that coun sel had omitted to say whether the payment could be made out of the main drainage rates. Mr. HEELEY called upon the Board to decide the matter upon its merits at once. He wholly opposed the proposed gratuity. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR followed on the same side, and said the proposal to give extra remuneration to these parties was wholly premature. He also adverted to the fact that the engineer had, with the consent of the Board, examined plans, &c., for several corporations, which had yielded him large emoluments. He designated the motion as a sham, for the purpose of obtaining delay, in order that the public feeling against the proposal should be allayed. Mr. SAMUDA thought that the Board should decide the matter now, as counsel said the grant would be illegal for past services. Mr. LEWIS opposed the motion to refer the matter back to the committee. Mr. FREEMAN opposed the grant. Although chairman of the Main Drainage Committee, ho had refused to bring up tho report. Mr. DOULTON, M.P., moved that the following words be added to the motion :—"And that the engineer be requested to report as to the works uncompleted on the north and south sides of the metropolis." Mr. MILLER assented to make that a part of his motion. Ordered accordingly. _ Mr. RocllE moved, v by way of amendment, " That the re commendation of the committee be rejected, as counsel con sidered it doubtful whether the board had power to grant the proposed gratuity." Mr. SAVAGE seconded the amendment. After a somewhat warm discussion, in which Mr. H. L. Taylor, Mr. Doulton, M.P., Mr. Bidgood, and other mem bers took part, the amendment was put by the President, and, upon a division, was negatived by a majority of 20 against 15. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR moved another amendment, to the effect that the recommendation of the committee was exces sive in amount, and the proposal altogether premature ; and, further, that the subject be postponed until the works are nearer completion. kr. SAVAGE seconded the amendment. Another discussion ensued, after which the President put the amendment, which was, upon a division, carried as an original motion by a majority of 18 to 14. After disposing of the routine business the board ad ofurned. The Dog Show Nuisance. Yesterday afternoon a deputation of the Association for the Suppression of the Dog Show Nuisance in Populous Neighbourhoods had an interview with Sir G. Grey at the Home Office, Whitehall. The deputation, which was to have been introduced by Sir S. M. Peto, Bart., M.P., con sisted of several of the most respectable inhabitants of the streets in the immediate vicinity of the Agricultural Hall, Islington. As the hon. baronet did not arrive in time, they were obliged to meet the Home Secretary with Mr. Wm. Harvey, an eminent medical practitioner, as their spokesman, who briefly statedto the right hon. baronet the substance of the memorial they had to present on the subject, which stated that it had become the practice of late years to ex hibit shows of dogs in the metropolis and various parts of the United Kingdom; that in populous localities where large shows of this kind were held the annoyance to the surround ing residents, especially to the sick and aged, as well as to others whose pursuits were of a mental character, was of a very painful description, arising from the incessant howl ing and barking, particularly during the night, of a large collection of dogs ; and that as there is at present no direct enactment in law to meet the case, and protect the inhabitants of such localities from the infliction complained of, the memorialists prayed that the Government would promote a public legal measure, to the effect that no dog show should be held in any building or place within a cer tain reasonable distance—t 0 be defined therein—of a dwel ling-house, unless with the sanction of some independent authority, therein named. Mr. HARVEY placed before the Home Secretary a plan of the streets and dwellings adjoining the Agricultural Hall, for the purpose of showing that the sleeping apart ments of a very large number of these houses were in the rear and abutted on the Agricultural Hall, and that, con sequently, the hideous howling of the dogs during the night not only prevented sleep, but anything like mental occu pation or enjoyment. A deputation had waited upon him last year with reference to the question, but nothing had been done. Sir G. GREY said he did not recollect any former appli cation on the subject of these dog shows. Mr. HARVEY said there had been a deputation, and the fact was, that though the show was unprofitable to the company last year, the hall had this year been let to a con tractor, who held them harmless, and there was every reason to fear that the nuisance would be frightfully increased by the show which was to be opened next Friday. Sir G. GREY said he really did not know how he could take any action in the matter. Was it not open to the memorialists to take action and enforce the law with refer ence to nuisances generally ? Mr. HARVEY replied that that question had been consi dered, but it was doubtful how far the law applied in such cases. It might be possible to deal with these exhibitions in the same way as with noxious manufactures, which were not allowed to be carried on except at a certain distance from inhabited houses. Sir G. GREY—But you say in your memorial that the shows should be allowed by some independent authority. Mr. HARVEY admitted that the wording of the memorial was somewhat faulty in that particular, but the meaning was clear enough, namely, that parties should not get up these shows without any control or regulation whatever, and without any consideration of the health and comfort of the residents in the neighbourhood where they were to take place. Besides the annoyance to those who lived in the im mediate vicinity, Sir George would see, by a reference to the plan, that there was a Wesleyan chapel close to the hall, and as the exhibition would continue over a Sunday the nuisance to the congregation would be necessarily very great. Sir G. GREY said he did not think Parliament would be inclined to accept any general measure on the subject. Such a measure might, in fact, apply to dog kennels. Mr. HARVEY—Doglennels are not usually placed in the vicinity of dwelling-houses, but at a considerable distance from them. Sir G. GREY—When is this exhibition to be opened? Mr. HARVEY—Next Friday. Sir G. GREY—I will go up and see it for myself. Mr. HARVEY—Yes; but it should be between 12 o'clock at night and three in the morning, when the nuisance is at its height. Sir G. GREY—I am afraid I cannot promise that. (Laugh ter.) There have been donkey shows at the hall, I believe ? Mr. HARVEY—Oh, yes ; but the hoe-hawing and braying of the asses are nothing at all compared with the horrible noise made by the dogs during the quiet hours of the night. Sir G. Gm—Well, it is impossible, of course, to do any thing in the way of legislation this session, even if desira ble to do so, on which point lamby no means clear. All I can say is, that I will visit the exhibition and give the mat ter my best consideration. The deputation then warmly thanked the right hon. baronet for his courtesy, and withdrew. WRECK.—The Ocean Queen, of Bristol, 602 tons, laden with coals, sprung a leak off the Land's End on Monday, and went down. The master and crew (18 in number) picked up by a pilot boat, STATE OF TRADE. MAxcniszEit, May 26.—1 n shipping yarns we have had a very quiet market for all kinds. Spinners being well engaged with contracts manifest no disposition to accept lower prices for any description of yarns. The market for home-trade yarns is not so firm. Sellers report that the market for these descriptions of yarns has been decidedly quieter than on Tuesday, and that, buyers holding aloof from business, prices are in their favour. Manufacturers go rather further, and say they could buy cop yarns id. to ld. per lb. lower than on Tuesday. The cause of the reaction in this as well as in the Liverpool cotton-market is said to be the heavy failures announced, with the rumour of others impending. Stoppages have been spoken of as likely to take place in Manchester, but we can trace such statements to no reliable authority, and there is reason to hope they are without foundation. They seem, however, to affect the cloth market full as much as that foryarns—probably, rather more so. We stated in our Tuesday's report that buyers for the East wero doing next to nothing, and to-day India shirtings, T-cloths, long-cloths, and similar light fabrics, are quite un saleable, and any attempt to force sales could only result in a considex able decline. In consequence of the resumption of work at so many mills, and the scarcity of weavers, the workpeople are becoming very uneasy about wages, and mill owners represent that a good deal of annoyance is given by the constant arrival and dispatch of deputations from mill to mill. There has not been a deeline in the nominal prices since the commencement of the cotton famine, but many mills using inferior and short-stapled cotton the workpeople find that practically they cannot earn nearly As much money as when using American cotton. Ono millowner stated to-day that he had 70 looms standing, for which he could not get weavers, and many mills are short handed, NOTTINGHAM, 26th.—There was a fair attendance at this Exchange-hall to-day, and, although the advices from Liverpool are dull, a steady trade was done in lace yarns, and late rates wero well supported. For hosiery yarns the demand was quiet, at no material change in the quotations Silks commanded extreme rates. The demand for brown nets was tolerable, and recent rates were fully maintained.

THAMES. ASSAULT WITH A DANGEROUS WEAPON.--JOllll Adams, a dock labourer, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with assaulting and wounding Joel Simpson, a carman. The complainant had charge of a horse and cart, which he was drawing over Tower-hill yesterday afternoon. The oart was laden with tea. He saw the prisoner on the foot board behind, partly in and partly out of the cart. He suspected the prisoner's, object was plunder, and ordered him to get down. The prisoner did so, and ran to wards him in a great rage with a long iron hook with a wooden handle, used by porters and others, with which a blow was aimed at his head. He put up his hand and received the blow on his buckles, which were torn by the hook. The complainant then struck the prisoner, who said, "I'll stab you," and made a blow at his arm with the hook. The arm was severely lacerated on the fleshy part. A constable named Saunders saw the parties struggling and separated them. He took the prisoner into custody. The complainant's arm was then torn and bleeding. The prisoner said ho was a labourer in the St. Katherine Dock, and an honest man. He put in certificates of good character and conduct, and detailed that he got upon the complainant's van for a ride over London-bridge, and not for the purposes of plunder. The complainant pulled him :down, seized him by the throat, and attempted to choke him, and in the struggle the complainant was hurt with tho hook. Mr. Partridge believed the prisoner was an honest man, and did not go upon the van for any dishonest purpose but to have a ride. He had no doubt, however, that the prisoner had used the sack hook produced, and it was a most dangerous instrument. He sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of £3, or be imprisoned for six weeks for the cowardly act he had committed. SAVE ME FROM MY FRIENDS.—John Flinn, aged 36, was brought up on remand before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing a purse, containing £6 10s. in gold from Johanna Taylor, the wife of the mate of a coasting ship. The parties were dwelling, until a few days since, in the dockyard, Shadwell. On the afternoon of the 25th inst. the prosecutor left home with a purse containing four sovereigns and five half sovereigns, which she had received of her husband the week before for the purpose of invest ing the same in a savings-bank. The manager and clerk of the bank were (unfortunately for her) both at dinner, and she took a walk. She met with her neighbours, the prisoner and his wife. She had known them 10 years, and put confidence in them. The prisoner said he was very badly off, that his five young children were laid down with the whooping-cough, and that he had a very bad hand which prevented him from working. Mrs. Taylor said she would treat him, and she did so, and treated his wife also. They went to several public houses and drank pretty freely, everything being paid for by Mrs. Taylor, who was "troubled all over with rhuematics," and, being helpless, sat down for ten minutes. The pri soner put his hand in Mrs. Taylor's bosom in the presence of his wife, and took her purse containing her gold away. Mrs. Taylor said " You have robbed me—you have got my gold," but was too ill to do anything more. Two days afterwards the prisoner was given into custody, and he said to Mrs. Taylor, "I am your friend, and so is my wife. I was not in your company at all on Wednesday, and you are a very wicked woman." Ample evidence was given of the prisoner and his wife being in Mrs. Taylor's company. Henry Davids, a police-constable, saw the prosecutrix Flinn and his wife in the middle of a street in Shad well on the Wednesday night in question. Mrs. Taylor was seated on tho ground. The prisoner's wife said to the policeman, " Just lift this woman up for me." Davids put Mrs. Taylor on her feet. She complained of rheu matism, and was the worse for liquor, but knew what she was about. The prisoner and his wife led her away. Evidence was also given that the' prisoner, who was so poor on the evening of the 18th, was changing gold at public-houses next morning. Mr. Partridge committed the prisoner for trial. COPPER ORE SALE.—At the Swansea ticketing on Tuesday the following sales were effected :—Knock mahon, 426 tons ; Bearhaven, 342 tons ; Genoa, 68 tons ; Var. C.C., 76 tons; Casili, 22 tons; Victor Emmanuel, 64 tons; Italian ore, 12 tons; Sweepings, 7 tons; burnt ore, 223 tons ; Australian ore, 76 tons ; Moonta, 65 tons ; tish regulus, 7 tons ; Cape ore, 12 tons ; Stag, 6 tons ; Cape ore, 47 tons, making a total of 1,453 tons.

This depravity can be corrected by taking a course or an occa sional dose of Holloway's famous purifying Pills, which expel all morbid matters from the circulation, and thoroughly cleanse and invigorate the glands, viscera, and brain. Through this wholesome influence Holloway's medicine casts out the seeds of all fevers, which, in sultry weather, prove se formidable ito health, and in a vast ma jority of cases destroy life itself.

DERBY PROPHECIES. (From the Sporting Gazette.) BEACON. I believe the winner will be found among the following five :—Gladiateur, Archimedes, Christmas Carol, Wild Charley, and Ariel. I consider the two former entitled to the preference, and believing that the French horse won the Two Thousand with a good deal in hand, my casting Tote must be given for GLADIATEUR, and if anything beats the peir it will be CHRISTMAS CAROL. RHYMING RICHARD. Now Archimedes! Gladiateur ! their partisans cry out, And Brahma wins for Westmoreland, the men of Findon shout. I see but two that have a chance, for "Gladd,y" feels the pace, And Archimedes' hopes can soar no higher than a place. That's the "rose jacket" on the right, not half a length • behind, The " primrose," by some magic spell, has quite regained his wind ! And operators frown and stare, and tremble in their skins, And shout, "I'll give a thousand pounds if only Alderoft wins !" No, Nemesis, it cannot be—stout Stockwell's gallant son Shall see a brighter day than this, but here the fight is won. For Challoner is creeping up, and inch by inch his stride Brings CHATTANOOGA to the front ! —now let his foes deride And now let Rumour, full of tongues, repeat here tale once more, For as the "roarer" wins the race, we hear an answering "roar!" That ('mid those triumphs of the year, Not willingly let die) Records in letters bright and clear, BREADALBANE'S victory ! BIFRONS. In summing up, we should take Gladiateur, the Duke, Archimedes, Breadalbane, Broomielaw, Oppressor, LOng down, and Wild Charley to beat the field ; believing that if the race is destined to fall to an outsider, Bedminster, Chattanooga, or Brahma may accomplish that distinction. I ought to add that Christmas Carol, of whom nothing is known, must have a great chance ! NEWPORT.

He then went and lay down quite tranquilly in the bed with his son, a boy six years of age. The woman's life is in danger. ENLARGEMENT OF THE PORT OF ODESSA.—PUr suant to the memorial of the General Director of Ways and Communications, and a project presented by the• Governo r of Bessarabia and New Russia, the Emperor has ordered a sum of 4,740,000 roubles to be applied to the widening and improvement of the port of Odessa. Russian and foreign engineers are to compete in the presentation of plans. The works are to be begun in the present year, and ten years will be given for the completion of them. M. Mauser, an engineer from Trieste, is expected to visit Odessa at the expense of the Russian Government in con nexion with this undertaking, and by authorisation of the Austrian Government.—Russian Correspondence. SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEUM.—The exhibition of portrait. miniatures, consisting of between 3,000 and 4,000 specimens of all the great masters from the time of Holbein, will bo opened to the public at the South Ken sington Museum on Saturday, June 3. ARCHEOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF GREAT BRrTAIN AND IRELAND.—At the last meeting of this society it was arranged that the annual meeting for this year should be held at Dorchester from Tuesday, August 1, to Tuesday, the Bth, inclusive, and the local committee and presidents of sections were nominated. Dorchester is comparatively new ground for the archaeologist ; but Corfe Castle, Wimborne Minster, Sherborne Minster, and the Roman remains which abound in the county, will be in , eluded in the programme in the excursions. Professor Willis will read a memoir of Sherbornm, and afterwards illustrate his remarks by reference to the miuster itself. (From Bell's Life.) The hypothesis that, if you can get half-a-dozen horses on something like an equality, there is not a first-rater amongst them, leaves room for a good " dark" one this time ; nevertheless, having just a doubt whether the Carol will prove glutton enough for two or three we have seen, and especially GLADIATEUR, we shall look forward to the Frenchmen winning a Derby at last ; and should they prove successful, Lord Stamford's and Mr. Merry's colours ought to be carried into the second and third places, on the grounds that Archimedes and Wild Charley are so close to the Two Thousand winner. ORANGE BLOSSOM. Reluctant still for such a stake The final, fatal plunge to make, With sinking heart that hope denies, With halting breath, averted eyes, In Fortune's urn I dip, and hold The FRENCHMAN with BREADALBANE bold. (From the Sporting Life.) AUGUR. My Derby lot are Breadalbane, Gladiateur, Wild Charley, and Longdown, and they will, I am persuaded, hold their own before all opponents. The choice between these four gives me no other alternative than to depend upon BREADALBANE or GLADIATEUR, who will have to guard their laurels from the prowess of Wild Charley. LORD FrrzroonE's TRIP TO THE " DARBY." " They're off r! And now the dreamers wake, Ten thousand tongues their silence break; As the rainbow sweeps across The trembling heath of grass and moss ! Rival hues draw side by side; Now the colours open wide ; Soon they close, and change again, Like sunshine flickering through the rain, Till the scarlet hoop and white Wake an outburst of delight. Now the dark and belted blue Seems to burst the rainbow through; Then the blue and crimson raise Notes of sangine hope and praise ; See, the yellow throws a gleam Like a ray on a moonlit stream— Changing shouts and faltering cheers Echo struggling hopes and fears; But the noble strife is done— Proud in his might, CHATTANOGA has won ; And this day's records shall disclose, The triumph of the sweet Primrose! (From the Era.) TOUCHSTONE. ARCHIMEDES, BRAHMA, LONGDOWN, WILD CHARLEY, and GLADIATEUR are the lot from which we expect the winner will spring, and wo place the first three thus : ARCHIMEDES LONGDOWN 2 WILD CHARLEY 3 Believing that the most dangerous outsider will turn out to be BRAHMA. THE STABLE MOUSE. Archimedes will run a good, sound, honest, horse, and greatly improve on his Two Thousand form. He was not "wound-up" for that race ; but all that can be done, or properly left undone, by the clever Captain White to insure the prize for Lord Stamford will be observed to the letter, and if Wild Charley and Breadalbane are doomed to be de feated, I think Archimedes will prove to be the cause of their overthrow. In placing the first three, however, I must have them thus : WILD CHARLEY 1 BREADALBANE 2 GLADIATEUR 3 (From the Sunday Times.) VATICINATOR. To our idea, the winner will spring from Archimedes, Breadalbane, Christmas Carol, Gladiateur, Longdown, and Wild Charley ; and at the time of our writing we have a great affection for ARCHIMEDES and BREADALBANE. (From the Weekly Times.) FLY-BY-NIGHT. Having now taken a bird's-eye view of the principal competitors for the approaching fray, it becomes my task to sum up in favour of one thereof, and as The Duke is ocratched, I shall, on the present occasion, take ' GLADIATEUR as my champion, leaving it to the judge to place his im mediate followers, who, to my thinking, will be ARCHI MEDES and BREADALBANE. (From the Illustrated Sporting News.) - VANGUARD. BREADALEANE Or ARCHIMEDES to win, and WILD CHARLEY and CHATTANOOGA to struggle for place. POLITICAL PROSECtrrioNs IN AMERICA.—Three persons, convicted of belonging to the Knights of the Golden Circle, are under sentence of death at Indiano polis. The Cincinnati Enquirer says :—" Tho most pro found feeling exists with regard to the ordered execution of Messrs. Bowles, Milligan, and Horsey on the 10th inst. It was thought that since the war no more blood was to be shed. Bowles is an octogenarian, a man who has served his country in wars heretofore. Milligan is a lawyer, respected by the people of his town (Huntington), a member of the Christian Church, infirm in health, and nearly 60 years of age. Horsey is a plain farmer, unso phisticated, who simply followed the lead of others. All of them have wives and children, and all of them have suf fered a long incarceration. I unhesitatingly say that pub lic opinion, as I have ascertained it, is that if the penalty threatened is visited on these men it will be productive of no good in Indiana or elsewhere, and will consign men to their graves who might just as well bo suf fered to live. To-day the prisoners made applica tion in the United States' Circuit Court for a writ of habeas corpus. If it is not granted they will appeal to the President directly; if it is refused they will appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. It is said that the military authorities, to whom the order for their execution by hanging was transmitted, have instruction to pay no attention whatever.to the civil writs. Meanwhile the work of preparing for the tragedy goes on at Burnside barracks." The Cincinnati Commercial asserts that the prisoners now about to be hanged were promised by the late President a commutation of the death sentence.

For this purpose the whole of the roof and front of the houses had been removed, and the design carried up, and the striking clock was surmounted by a ball 15 feet in diameter, a current of electricity had been laid on from the observatory at Greenwich, by which the ball would fall every hour throughout the day within'the thousandth fraction of a second of time. Yesterday his foreman of the works was busily engaged superintending the fixing of the great ball, when, suddenly, the scaffold on which he was standing gave way, and in an instant he was precipitated from the parapet. The workmen saw him go, but had no power to assist him. In his descent, by some miracle, he clutched at the lower stage of the scaffolding and then threw him self across the planks, and, according to the man's state ment, he could not believe his life was saved, as nothing seemed possible to interpose between his meeting with a horrible death.
