MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL -INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. After a short deliberation the Bank of England directors have not deemed it advisable to make any further alteration in the rate of discount. The un favourable turn within the past few days of the foreign exchanges, and the outflow of gold to the Continent, have no doubt influenced the decision of the authorities. The demand for accommodation to-day is active, on account of the settlement at the Stock Exchange, and the best bills cannot be ne gotiated under and 6 per cent. At the general meeting to-day of the shareholders of the London and Venezuela Bank, a dividend for the half-year was declared at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income-tax. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under : 1865. 1864.

(Before the Judge Ordinary.) JOHNSON V. KERR. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Bay. . COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.) THE QUEEN V. CORBETT.-THE SHENANDOAH. The ease for the defence was opened this morning by Mr. Edward James, Q.C. The learned gentleman denied that Capt. Corbett had been guilty of any infringement of the Foreign Enlistment Act, or that he had done anything contrary to the law of the land. He then called witnesses to hear out his version of the case. One of them, the chief mate cf the Sea King, denied, in many particulars, that spoken in evidence for the Crown. He admitted that, on arrivingat Madeira, he ran up a signal for the Laurel to come beside the Sea King, which signal was answered by those on board the Laurel. The Lord Chief Justice to the witness—Who told you to run up the signal ? Witness—l did not say I ran it up alone; I meant to say I assisted in doing it. The Lord Chief Justice—Well, who told you to do it ? The witness hesitated to answer. The Lord Chief Justice—You may as well answer the question at once, for I will have an answer. Witness—l assisted to run up the signal. The Lord Chief Justice—Who told you to do so ? On your oath you don't mean to say that you did not hoist the signal without being told ? Witness—l don't know who gave the order; I assisted in pulling it up, and that is all I can say. The Lord Chief Justice—Who assisted you ? Witness—The captain of the Sea King. The Lord Chief Justice—On your oath now, answer this question. When you sailed from London did you think you were going to Bombay ? Witness—Yes. The Solicitor-General cross-examined the witness very minutely on other points in the case ; those relating to the selling of the ship, and other matters relative to the pro ceedings on board the two vessels, the Laurel and the Sea King at Madeira. The case will not close to day. For this suit the probate of the will of Joseph Pryor was opposed by his next of kin, on the ground of alleged in competency on the part of the testator. Dr. Spinks said tho testator died in I R 64, and when the will became known it was disputed by the relations because the testator had taken other views than those which they thought he ought to have taken. The property in dispute at the first had been very small—between £2OO and £3OO ; and the sum that had already been spent in contesting the validity of the instrument had materially lessened that. A number of witnesses were called to prove the state of mind of the testator. The case was a most interesting one as far as the ~petitioner was concerned, and seemed likely to occupy the whole of the day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, Petition of Right. O'MALLEY IRWIN V.

Extraordinary Charge of Assault. HARWICH, Wednesday Night. At the Harwich Petty Sessions, yesterday (Wed nesday), the case of Beck v. Captain Jervis, N\P., lasted from half-past 12 in the afternoon unfit 7- at night. Mr. Orridge (instructed by Mr. Wood, from Mr. Ashley's, Charles-square, Hoxton) appeared for the complainant; Mr. Jones, of Colchester, representing defendant, who is one of the directors of the Great Eastern Railway Company. Mr. Orridge, on opening the case, said that he appeared in the present instance on behalf of the plaintiff, who was a clerk in the audit-office of the Great Eastern Railway Company, and he com plained of the conduct of the defendant, who had not only assaulted him in a violent manner, but had applied to him some most offensive and abusive language. It would appear from the instructions of the learned counsel that on Nov. 7th Mr. Beck was sent down to the Great Eastern Hotel, at Harwich, to check the accounts, and while he was engaged in performing this duty he was subjected to the most gross treatment at the hands of the defendant. While Mr. Beck was engaged in his work, Captain Jervis came up to him and asked him if he came from the office of Mr. Kearns, who is the auditor of the company. Beck replied that he did, having been sent down to check the accounts, upon which the defendant said he was a " young cur," and desired him to leave the hotel (which is the property of the company). Mr. Beck declined to leave until he had com pleted his work, whereupon Captain Jervis seized him by the collar of his coat, and with great force turned him out of the hotel. For this assault the present proceedings had been taken, and the learned counsel said that, looking at his instructions and the respectable witnesses whom he should call, he con sidered that the captain had acted most unjustifiably both in his conduct and in the vile and improper language imputed to him. Mr. Beck then generally bore out the statement of the learned counsel. In cross-examination, by Mr. Jones, he denied that he had been listening to the conversation of the captain with other persons. He could swear that the captain called him a " young cur," and that great force was used in ejecting him from the hotel. The barmaid and manager of the hotel generally corroborated the complainant in every particular. Mr. Jones, on behalf of the defendant, said that this case bad been very much exaggerated by the complainant. In the first place, Captain Jervis denied using the language imputed to him ; and in the second, he only used just so much force as was necessary to put complainant out of the hotel. He (Mr. Jones) contended that the captain had a per fect right, as a director of the company, to order the clerk out of the hotel, and it would be proved he very gently took hold of the collar of Beck's coat between the finger and thumb, removing him very gently. Captain Jervis said that the complainant had come down to spy upon him, and listened to his conversation with other persons, upon which the captain desired him to leave the hotel, and, without using any bad language, gently removed him, as he had a perfect right, being a director of the com pany, to do. In cross-examination defendant repeated that he had never used any bad language. The evidence of defendant having been corrobo rated by evidence, Mr. Jones called Mr. Owen, secretary of the company, who was in attendance, and questioned him as to the right of a director to order a clerk out of the hotel. ..•••• loa• Mr. Owen said that a director had a sg perfect right to do so. The bench (which was fully attended, the Mayor of Harwich being in the chair) then retired, and after some deliberation came into court, and, ex pressing an opinion that a director of a company was justified in ordering a clerk off the company's premises, dismissed the summons. Summons dismissed. The case created great interest in the town of Harwich. ation peek, lessee ; will little scrip ttion, their Lssing I that Hall land with 4utho- a cir- resent of the quite ifying Ltional of the it and of all ade in ns.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. RIVAL REGISTRY-OFFICE KEEPERS.—David Gregory, in the employ of Mr. Thomson, the keeper of a servants registry-office, 248, Oxford-street, and John Robinson, in the employ of Mr. Thompson, the keeper of a similar office at 264, Oxford-street, were charged with causing an obstruction in Oxford-street—Gregory by carrying an ad vertising board and delivering bills, and Robinson by de livering bills. Police-constable Weller, A division, said that while in Oxford-street he saw the two defendants in front of 264, Gregory with a board, on which was painted " Caution : Be not deceived. Thomson's Domestic Bazaar is still at 248, Oxford-street," and distributing bills with the follow ing upon them—" Caution : Be not deceived. Thomson's Domestic Bazaar is still at 248, Oxford-street, and has no connection with any person assuming and trading upon the credibility of his name," &c. Robinson was distribut ing bills, with the following upon them—" Caution : Be not deceived in the right address of Mr. Thompson's servants' bazaar. It is still at 264, Oxford-street. Caution—Mr. Thompson has no connection with any other person of similar name or business." As the defendants were causing an obstruction he took them into custody. The magistrate, after looking at the handbills handed in, said that it appeared that both persons were of the same name. Mr. Thomson said his worship would see that he spel his name without a "p." The magistrate observed that ho did not see why both persons should not carry on business so long as they did not infringe the law. Mr. Thomson addressed the magistrate at some length, and spoke of Mr. Thompson in far from complimentary terms. He said he was the first in the street. Servants left his office if he could not suit them, no fee being taken; but it was not so with Mr. Thompson; Mr. Thompson also copied his bills. Mr. Thompson said his wife had carried on the business at 264 for years, the business having previously been carried on in the house of Mills. So far from what Mr. Thompson had stated being true, several of the persons went to both offices, and he had suited many a dozen per sons that morning ' with situations and servants. Mr. homson was in the habit of sending four or five persons with bills in front of his house, and also himself coming down to his office, which was twenty doors from his own, and telling people to go to his office, and otherwise an noying and insulting him The Magistrate said it was a very foolish thing, and against the law, to carry such a board in Oxford-street. The whole affair was like a ecene in a pantomime, where rival tradesmen each placed in his window "No connec tion with next door." Mr. Thomson could not prevent another person of the same name carrying on business in the same street as himself. Mr. Thompson said a tenant of his residing next door to him could not carry on his business owing to the annoy ance caused by Mr. Thomson's men. The defendants were fined ss. each, the fines being paid by their employers. WESTMINSTER. MAGISTERIAL DUTY.—Yesterday afternoon, at half-past four, four boys, ages varying from 9 to 14, named James Burns, William Blazon, George Martin, and James Willis, were charged with t tealing coals from a barge in the river Thames. Instead of at once being brought into court they were detained all night, and at 11 o'clock were brought before the magistrates, but the constable in charge of the case having stated that the prosecutor was not in attend ance (although they had had nearly 20 hours to find their witnesses), and, contrary to general rule, there being no one to prosecute, the boys were ordered back to await the prosecutor. In a few minutes afterwards the prosecutor and the parents of the boys—hard-working people—made their appearance, but Mr. Arnold, on being informed of the fact by Mr. Hunt, the chief usher, declined to take any thing till 12 o'clock ; and to that hour the boys, innocent or guilty, were kept, as well as their parents losing per chance their daily bread. Funeral of Lieut.-Colonel Burns. The Dumfries Courier, in its record of the burial of the late Colonel Burns beside his father at Dum fries, refers also to the remaining descendants of the poet :—" The late Colonel James Burns had fre quently in his latter years expressed a wish that his remains should be laid beside that of his illustrious father in the mausoleum of St. Michael's Church yard, Dumfries. In accordance with this wish, the funeral took place here on Saturday last, the chief mourner being Col. W. N. Burns, who was accom panied to the vault by G. Burns, of Dublin, cousin of deceased ; E. Beckett, of London, his brother-in-law ; D. Morrin, of London; J. Aikin, of Liverpool; J. M. Leny, of Dalswinton ; J. P. Trotter, S.S., and W. R. M'Dairmid, Dumfries. The burial service of the Church of England was read over the grave by the Rev. A. M'Ewen, M.A., in a deeply-impressive manner, and the vault, which had been reopened in 1856 to receive the remains of the eldest son of the poet, were closed over those of his youngest son. Two of these chief mourners, and four other gentle men, who on Saturday paid the last tribute of affec tion to their friend James Burns, had been present at the funeral of the poet in 1796 —Col. W. N. Burns, James Aikin, Alex. Maxwell, of Glengaber, William Gordon, of Castle-hill, Robt. Patterson, of Brocklehurst, and Col. Grierson, of Barndennoch. It seems to us proper to take the present opportunity of mentioning who are the surviving descendants of the poet. Robert Burns and Jean Armour had nine children, five sons and four daughters. The daughters all died in childhood, as did two of the sons, Francis Wallace and Maxwell, the former of whom was regarded by their mother as the most promising of her boys, on whom seemed to have descended his father's mantle. Robert, the eldest son, died in Dumfries, in May, 1857, leaving an only daughter, Eliza, who married Dr. Everitt, a surgeon in the East India Company's service ; she has been long a widow, and resides with her only daughter, Miss Everitt, in Belfast: Colonel Wil liam Nicol Burns is a widower without family. The surviving children of Lieutenant-Colonel J. G. Burns are his daughter Sarah, the surviving child of his first marriage, married to Dr. Berkeley Hut chinson, with four children, a son and three daugh ters ; and Miss Burns, the only child of his second marriage." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlN—With your usual courtesy, will; you kindly give publicity to the fact that I have this day appealed to the House of Lords against the decision of the Judges before whom the above case came on for argument in the Court of Exchequer Chamber ?—I have the honour to be, your obedient servant, GEORGE O'MALLEY IRwIN, Nov. 29, 1865. Plaintiff in Person. Oyster Culture. --40. - The third half yearly meeting of the shareholders in the Herne Bay, Hampton, and Reculver Oyster Fishery Company was held yesterday at their offices, 10, Adelphi-terrace. Mr. H. Pennell, the chairman of the company, being prevented by illness from attending, the chair was taken by Mr. Thompson, deputy-chairman. The report stated that about £lB,OOO had been expended on oysters up to the end of September last, and that their condition since having been laid down on the company's grounds was such that most of them would shortly be ready for market. There had not been, as some had ex pected, a largo spat this year, but a fair share of what there had been had fallen on the company's fishery. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report and statement of accounts, remarked that the oysters on the ground, which had cost the com pany about £lB,OOO, were now estimated as worth above £34,000 ; and that about £BOO worth having been also brought in by the company's boats, the stock might be fairly assumed to be of the value of £35,000. They were now, however, paying an in creased price for stock. Many persons thought that spatling of oysters only occurred at intervals of six or seven years ; but those best capable of judging were of the opinion that, while a very large spat was an exceptional occurrence, spatting to a greater or less extent took place every year. This was proved by the fact that the boats were constantly bringing in oysters of one, two, three, or four years' growth. The fattening capacities of the Herne Bay ground were unlimited, and the directors were now negotiating for a breeding ground at Saltash, which would, they hoped, prove a valuable source of supply for the purpose of fattening for market. Mr. FRANK BUCKLAND seconded the motion, and entered into a detail of his experiments in artificial culture of oysters. He had spent many weeks in the Be de Re, studying the French system, which he had endeavoured to vary here so as to suit the climate. The foreshore at Herne Bay was exactly like that in the Be de Re, and he had selected a spot close to the pier. He had laid down 4,000 tiles of a cheap kind, costing about £7, at about half a mile from the shore. At first he laid them down in rows, but the waves upset them; then he tried fascines, which kept off weeds and protected the tiles, and to which the spat might adhere. He put down hurdles and made eddies, so as to induce the set tling down of light bodies such as the spat. He was obliged to confess that hitherto the experiment had been a failure, but he had learned much already, and recommended that he should be allowed to con tinue it next year. The cost hitherto had been about £lOO. He found that culch (old oyster shells, &c.) was much preferable to tiles. After some questions had been asked and answered as to the details of the accounts, &c., the CHAIRMAN stated that 1,000 acres of the ground had been cleaned and covered with culch, and that 1,500 acres more had been dredged over, making 2,500 acres already wholly or partially.under cultivation. The directors expected to commence selling oysters in the first week of December. Mr. J. BULLAR stated that a friend of his had asked in an oyster shop for Herne Bay oysters, and was charged 2s. per dozen for those supplied under the name. The report and accounts were unanimously adopted. _ Air. HARVEY proposed a vote of thanks to the directors, which was seoonded by Mr. JOAN BULLAR, and passed unanimously, after which the meeting separated. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about .1 per mills pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.15 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of L., ►7s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 2-tithe per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per marl and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 stcrlin,. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, at about the same price in London and Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1(81 to 169 per cent. At these rates there is no profit on the importation of go d from the United States. THE INSURANCE FRAUDS BY A PHYSICIAN.— Thompson Whalley, M.D., physician and surgeon, of Mirfield, was again brought before the Dewsbury magi strates yesterday, charged with obtaining a security from the British Prudential Assurance Company, to wit a policy for £33 65., on the life of Law Walker, of Mirfield, labourer. The case was similar to the one heard on the previous day, with the exception that the person assured is still alive. In the medical report Walker was described as being healthy, while the fact was that Walker had for years been suffering from abscess of the spine, and had been discharged from the infirmary as incurable. Ho had also within a week or two of the time the policy was effected been a recipient of relief from the Dewsbury Board of Guardians. Walker swore in court that he knew nothing whatever of the policy upon his life having been effected, and had not signed the declaration produced, but had heard his wife say she knew something about it. The Bench decided to commit the prisoner for trial at the Leeds spring assizes, and Mr. Allsop, the solicitor for the prosecution, then proposed to go into a charge of fraud upon the British Nation Com pany to the amount of £l,OOO, by a policy on the life of Mrs. Bottomley, of Huddersfield, who is still living; but the Bench declined to go into the case, as they considered the two charges upon which the prisoner had been com mitted were sufficient. Bail was accepte d for the pri soner's appearance, himself in £l,OOO, and two sureties in .£soo.—Manchester Courier. SOUTHA➢iPTON, Nov. 30.—The North German Lloyd's Company's steam ship America, from New York on the 18th, has arrived. She brings 43 bags of mails for London ; 120 passengers for this port, Havre, and Bremen; $170,000 for France and $5OO for Bremen. The America passed the Germania on the 19th, from New York on the 18th, with numerous passengers who had secured berths in America, but who cancelled their engagements on hear ing that cholera existed at Southampton. The steamer Arago, which was to sail on the 25th from New York, is appointed to call at Falmouth instead of Southampton, on account of the reported cholera at the latter place. BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—A memorial has been pre rented to the Board of Directors of this company by a deputation of the season ticket-holders on the line, repre senting the inconvenience and loss to which they are sub jected by the frequent irregularities in the arrival and de parture of the trains, the use of engines of defective power the insufficient number of porters at the stations, and the bad condition of the carriages. The memorialists also com plain that an irregularescursion traffic is permitted to throw the regular advertised service into total disorganisation. THE COMING ENVOY.—An Englishman on board a steamer on one of the American lakes conversing with a Yankee fellow-passenger on the merits of the Ame rican orators said ho had been advised to see Mr. Clay, as perhaps the most eminent of all. "No," said his companion, "you should hear in preference Caleb Cushing." " Why so ?" asked our friend. "Sir, there is no orator in our country who mounts higher and stops there longer, and slides down easier than Caleb Cushing." The Englishman, tickled with the remark, inquired of the captain of the steamer who his informant might be, and was delighted to learn that he was no other than Caleb Cushing himself. POISONOUS GAS.—At the Liverpool Coroner's Court yesterday an inquiry was held touching the deaths of the three men who were suffocated within a few days of each other while acting as shipkeepers on board the ship Armadale lying in the Huskisson Dock. Dr. Trench, medical officer of health, and Mr. Ayrton gave evidence to the effect that death had bean causad by the inhalation of carbonic acid gas, which, in consequencee of the prevailing high winds, had been forced back into the deckhe use where the men slept, and where they had kindled fires. The jury returned a verdict, "The death resulted from suffocation caused by defective ventilation." The London Branch of the Southern Insurance Company of Melbourne now underwrite insurances from all parts of Australia and New Zealand to all parts of the world, the business of that branch having hitherto been confined to outward bound vessels only. The sum csf £42,000 in bar gold was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for the Continent. The International Contract Company, Limited, has declared an interim dividend, for the half year ending the 30th of September, at the rate of 10 per cent. per amain. MARKETS—This Day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. Our market, to-day, was but mode ra t e l y supp li e d with beasts. For nearly all breeds, the demand ruled steady, at prices equal to Monday. The general top figure was ss. 2d. per 81bs. The show of sheep was by no means extensive. Downs and half-bretis were in good request, at full quota tions. Otherwise the mutton trade was in a sluggish state on former terms. The highest figure was 6s. Bd. per 81bs. We had a slow inquiry for calves—the supply of which was moderate—at the late decline in value. The pork trade was in a sluggish state, at last week's prices.

In logic honours Mr. Joseph Walton, of Stonyhurst, was placed third in the first class, and obtained sufficient marks to qualify him for the Scholarship. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CROYDON AUTUMN STEEPLECHASES. WEDNESDAY. The attraction of the principal handicap drew every largo attendance, notwithstanding that the weather was of the most disagreeable description. All interest centred in the decision of thq principal event of the meeting, upon which some very extensive speculation had taken place during the week. Fourteen numbers were hoisted on the telegraph board, but even in the face of such a field L'Africain main tained his position of first favourite, even money being very freely invested. Every particular of the race will be found below; suffice it to say that at the moment when L'...A.fricain was apparently going to the front he fell on his head on the middle of a field from the heavy nature of the ground, and, turning a complete somersault, he was not remounted, and walked into the paddock smothered in mud from his head to his heels. His fall let up Old Oswestry, who had been going well, an dwho always occupied a good position through out the race, and he won in a canter from Cortolyln ; the latter, after making nearly all the running,tiring very much in the last quarter of a mile.

Nov. 30, 1865. Fashions for December. (From Le Follet.) Each week brings some novelty in the shape of material, or something, at any rate, making its re appearance with a fresh name. Some of the new designs are truly splendid ; one or two of them' we must just allude to in passing. First, are those of black, blue, green, or gold-coloured satin. These shades are the most distingules, and form the ground, upon which are narrow stripes imitating ermine, with a wide space between them, upon which are medallions of rich colours. Others—which equally deserve description—are embroidered poult de soic of light shades. A wide row down each side of the front breadth, from the waist to within about 12 inches of the bottom, a very rich design, and end ing in aiguilettes, is entirely formed by embroidery. A kind of ribbon, matching in design, runs beside these the same distance: down the skirt, but is car ried all round about 12 inches from the bottom, these inches and the whole of the front breadth being dotted over with small flowers, embroidered. This embroidery is white, and, on mauve, pale blue, light green, rose de Bengale, &c., produces a very charming effect. There are also elegant moire antiques, with satin stripes, and poult de soies, with gold and silver bees, or birds embroidered on tulle. For evening-dresses, we have seen tulle worked with gold and red, or silver and black birds, and a similar pattern is being prepared in satins. For more unpretending costumes there is the endless variety of foulards. Nor must we neglect to mention that a toilette altogether of cloth is likely to be fashionable this winter ; and although a cloth dress is certainly rather heavy, it has this advantage—it will never be commonly worn. The I'rincesse and fourreau makes for dresses are still in vogue, as well as robes with fancy vestes. Vestes are sometimes made of velvet, entirely covered with guipure, excepting the slaves. For instance :—A ruby velvet, covered with black guipure, or Mexico blue, with Cluny lace. We must admit, however reluctantly, that the rage for bright, tawdry trimmings has not yet dis appeared. Glass is used most extensively as jewel lery (if it may be so called), glass beads of various colours, and it is much mixed with many of the trimmings now worn. Velvet galons with crystal, pearl or gold, or even fringe, with crystal or sequins and fringes with pendants of crystal or gold in the passem enteric heading, have had great success ; but whichever be used in the trimming, crystal or gold, the whole parure should be of the same. Cameo buttons are also much worn. Cluny- lace is quite as fashionable as ever ; indeed, it is used so very much just now that we can scarcely expect its reign will be long. Before commencing our usual list of toilettes, we will just call our readers' attention to some very stylish dresses we have remarked, and which, to ladies economically inclined, may give a hint how to make use of some dress obliged to be thrown aside from its want of sufficient length for the present fashion. The bottom of the skirt is composed of a wide band of black satin, and from this bands also of black satin are carried half way up the skirt, wide at the bottom but gradually decreasing until they finish scarcely wider than the thread. This on a ground of mauve, blue, violet, or Vesuve moire antique is very effective; it has a good effect also when the band is made of the same colour as the dress, only of a deeper shade. As the time is approaching when ball-dresses will be in extra requisition, we commence this month with— A toilette of blue tulle bouillonnee over blue satin. Between each bouillon a fringe of thick silk and white beads. The fringe is put round the top of the body and trims the sleeves. A skirt of white tulle, worked with small gold beads, very small and wide apart, with a fourreau of black satin, scalloped at the bottom, very short, falling over the tulle skirt. This is embroidered with dead gold on the shoulders, from which long chains are draped across the body. A robe of gold-coloured tulle, with trimming of silver foliage. Very low body, with berthe of plaited tulle, edged with silver leaves. Bouillonnees sleeves, Chomisette of point de Venise. Head-dress of gold and silver grapes, with purple leaves. A white Imperial velvet dress : all the seams aro piped with blue satin. The bottom of the skirt is trimmed with two chicorees of blue crape, headed with a bias fold of white satin, which is carried up each side. A series of white satin and blue crape rosettes or bows are placed up the front. andt the e b t l o u p e satin, The s a uh nd The body, which is low, is formed of alte rna t e s t r i pes or folds ofifni:vhheidteofflmwpitehriaa ruche Imperial v c e h lv e et at worked pink i terryth is e il velvet. ver he a d s T a h nt e hd bottom vsilver braid.o f the of bias satin, and tied at the side. sk A irt d i r s e w ss o o rk f Tunic Qf pink tulle, embroidered • up at the side by a bouquetof daisies wlsilver, l loopedr xyit ye e. hearts and foliage, and two ends of . white moire.

Upon the jockeys a bow of violet taffetas, with jet aiguilettes. The re vers of the sleeves are very wide, the point reaching to the elbow. A grey moire antique dress, double skirt. The under-skirt is trimmed with bias plaiting of blue velvet ; the upper is caught up in festoons by cords of blue velvet, and jet ornaments forming medallions at the bottom, and carried up to the waist.

Sir Robert was a bad third ; the remainder, most of whom pulled up after going a mile, walked in.

Mr. Halford's Old Oswestry, 5 yrs, lOst 21 b...(Griffiths) 1 Mr. Carew's Cortolvi ,n 5 yrs, list Slb ... (Mr. Edwards) 2 Mr. Golby's Church Militant, G yrs, list 21b (Wheeler) 3 The following also ran :—L'Africain, Sly Fox, Balder, Globule, Goldfinder, Benazet, Farnborough, Arlescott, Laura, Goshawk, and Rochester. Hall Court was struck out at 2 20 p.m. Betting—Even on L'Africain, 8 to 1 agst Benazet, 100 to agst Old Oswestry, 100 to 8 agst Cortolvin, Sly Fox, Goldfinder, and Farnborough, 100 to 7 agst Laura, 100 to 6 agst Church Militant, 20 to 1 each agst Balder and Globule, 30 to 1 each aget Rochester and Arlescott. The 14 competitors, having taken their preliminary canters, were started at the first attempt, Globule immediately rushing to the front and leading past the stand, followed by Old Oswestry, Church Militant, Cortolvin, and L'Afri cain, but after going a couple of hundred yards Globule dis appeared from the front, and Cortolvin assumed the com mand ; Church Militant going on second, followed by L'Africain and Old Oswestry. They ran past the stand in the same order at a great pace, the most prominent of the next division being Laura, Sly Fox, and Benazet, running abreast. Goshawk and Arlescott were outpaced after going a mile and were toiling hopelessly a long way in the rear. Little variation occurred in the second round till reaching the stand, where Old Oswestry ran into second place, fol lowed by the favourite, who was going well and pulling double. The rear was brought up by Arlescott and Gos hawk, who were stopped and walked into the saddling en closure, being beaten off. Going across the plough L'Afri cain shot past Old Oswestry, and was going on in pursuit of Cortolvin as they disappeared behind the hill, but hero the favourite met with such a mishap that his chance was extinguished, for while crossing a field he floundered on the heavy ground, and, falling heavily on his head, turned a complete somersault, burying his head in the mud ; and, although shaken, it was extremely lucky that Geo. Holman, his jockey, sustained no injury. Old Oswcstry now was the only antagonist to Cortolvin (for Laura, Benazet, and Balder had all come to grief), and, rushing to the front a quarter of a mile from home, Old Oswestry took such a lead that he landed in the winning field many lengths in front of Cortolvin, whom he eventually defeated with the great est ease by 10 lengths. Church Militant struggled home third, a long way behind the second, and Globule went the entire course, but nothing else passed the post. A Plato of 50 sous did not produce a race.
