Some new evidence had been brought forward against the parties in the dock, but substantially it is the same as was adduced before the polico magistrate. The interest in the proceedings has considerably subsided in Dublin. SHARE MARKETS,—This Day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. 'Bristol and Exeter Caledonian Cambrian Cork and 8and0n......

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury THE QUEEN V. CORBETT-THE SHENANDOAH. The Solicitor-General this morning commenced his reply on the whole case, and contended that the evidence adduced on the part of the Crown fully brought home the charges of the defendant. The, jury, after a few minutes" deliberation, returned a verdiot for defendant on all the issues, which was received with applause. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Special Jury.) • WOOD V. WOOD-YOUNG AND COOKE. This was a suit instituted by Mr. Alexander Wood, a member of the celebrated firm of Wood and Turnbull, grocers and wine merchants, at Newcastle-on-Tyne, for a dissolution of his marriage on the grounds of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent and other parties un known. The respondent and Mr. Young appeared and denied the adultery, but the other co-respondent did not enter any appearance. From the opening statement of counsel it appeared that the parties were married in 1857, and that there were chil dren of the marriage living. The parties lived comfortably together until the January of 1862, when the petitioner was obliged to go to France on business. On his return he came into possession of a letter addressed to his wife by Mr. Young, and signed by one of his. Christian names, " Metcalf." The letter was read by the learned counsel, and it exhorted the lady to go to bed and rise early and to take special care of her health. It contained some general allusions as to the marital state, and suggested that the respondent and her husband might live as happily as nine-tenths of married people. After the discovery of this letter the lady left her husband, who immediately instituted proceedings for a divorce. How ever the evid nce adduced at the trial failed to satisfy his lordship, and the petition was dismissed. Subsequently evidence as to the respondent's misconduct had been ob tained and the petitioner brought the present suit. Several witnesses were called on behalf of tho peti tioner's case. The Insurrection in Jamaica. THE TRIAL OF GORDON. About 12 o'clock on the 20th Oct. the rebels, among them George Wm. Gordon, were brought out and lined in front of the wharf where the courts martial were about to be held. In order to save time two courts were formed—the one composed of Col. Lewis, of the St. Catherine's Militia, Capt. Espent, of the Kingston Militia, and Capt. Astwood, of the Kingston Cavalry; the other composed of Second Lieutenant Brent, commander of the gunboat Nettle, Second Lieutenant Herrington, commander of the gunboat Onyx ; and Ensign Kelly, of the 4th West India Regiment. I At 2 o'clock the same day (Satu r d a y) th e t r i a l o f George W. Gordon commenced. He was tried be fore the military court, presided over by Second Lieutenant Brent. He was given.a very patient trial, and was allowed to cross-examine all the witnesses THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 O'CLOCK. AMERICA, (Per the Cuba, via Roche's Point.) NEW Yonx, Nov. 23 (Evening). The New York Herald eays that the Government must demand the crew of the Shenandoah from England, under the Extradition Treaty. The other papers are silent on the subject. The Washington Star says that the movement of Federal cavalry to Texas is not caused by any hostile feeling of the United States towards Maximilian, but be cause cavalry are much more serviceable in Texas than infantry. General Weitzel has superseded General Steel in the command in Texas. Steel's removal is reported to have been caused by his being intimate with the Imperial officers along the Mexi can frontier. The New York Times states that General Logan's ap pointment as Minister to the Republic was made in conse quence of Maximilian's decree declaring the Republicans outlaws, against which the United States will protest. The Commander-in-Chief in Canada, having had under consideration the possibility of Fenian 'aids during the winter, has called out six companies of volunteers, and ordered all volunteers to complete their number and hold themselves ready for active service. The ship Harry West, which left New Orleans for Liverpool, with 3,000 bales of cotton, was burned at sea. The crew were saved. Nzw Yon; Nov. 21 (Evening.) Several papers deny that the Government will issue another funding loan. The Secretary of the Navy has ordered the commanders of the Philadelphia, Boston, and Portsmouth navy yards to reduce the number of the employes one-half. COURT OP BANKRUPTCY. • (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) POOR WINDHAM ADAM-IN RE W. F. WINDHAM. In this case an application was made by the assignee, in order that he might be empowered to compromise certain Chancery proceedings with a view to a settlement. Mr. Sargood urged that it was to the interests of the creditors generally that the application should be acceded to. His Honour remarked that in a case of so much impor tance it was desirable that the Court should be relieved from all responsibility by the assenting creditors. Mr. Sargood stated that creditors for £2,500 out of £2,800 would consent to the compromise, but the Com missioner ordered the application to stand over. Of course this application is purely a formal matter, and does not affect the position of the estate in this Court in any way. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH STREET. THE LONDON AND PROVINCIAL ADVERTISING AGENCY.— CAUTION TO PERSONS SEEKING SITUATIONS.-T wo re spectable-looking young men waited upon Mr. Knox to ask his advice. One of the applicants, a groom, stated that, having seen in the Telegraph of the 23rd ult. an advertisement as fol lows :• " Wanted, a young man, as light porter, who can drive—wages 225. 6d. per week. Apply at the Advertising Office, 41, Great Pulteney-street, Regent-street," and thinking the situation would suit him, he went to the office, 41, Great Pulteney-street, and there saw a person who told him he would have to register his name, and that the fee for so doing would be ss. He paid that sum, and, being told to sign a book, which he did, he received the following memorandum : " The London and Provincial Advertising Agency, 41 Great Pulteney-streot, Regent-street, W. No. 640. Re ceived g f f o o r r na r r u i s f t i r r e o a s ni t . i_o n c lr o of u r name o a — m n e s a e — c s applicant Situations h e su ni for w ? e f a r e s s g B i u a r a a b t einoi guaranteed." d c o. fee was then sent to a Mr. Ridgway in Newgate-street, the person at the office telling hint that as he wrote a good hand he ought to try for something better. Mr. Ridgway asked him what ho was, and on telling him that he had been a groom he said he would not suit. He then went back to the office in Great Pulteney-street, when the per son there, he believed Mr. Coulson, gave him some names and addresses to write to, which ho did, but received no answers. Subsequently he went to the office, and finding several young men who had been similarly treated, he went with one of them—instead of writing as he was de sired to do—to one of the persons ho was to write to in Cowley-street, Westminster, and was answered by an old woman, who said that he ought to have written and not attended personally, and that the " gentleman" who wanted a young man to look after his horse and chaise resided in Tothill-street, Westminster. They subse quently went to the office and demanded their money back, when the person appeared to be very indignant and threatened them with the police. They then spoke to a constable who advised them to come to that court. Several other young men were making the same complaint about the office when they went there. The other applicant said that seeing an advertisement in the same paper for a young man to take orders, wages 20s. a week and commission, and application to be made at the Advertising Offices, Great Pulteney-street, he went there and saw a person who told him to sign a paper— received £5 from him, and then gave in a memorandum for it (similar to the above). He was referred to a Mr. Ridgway, who told him that ho would have to deposit £lO, £5 down, and the other £5 to be deducted out of his salary and commission, which were to com mence at the end of three months. He was to solicit advertisements for newspapers. Not feeling satisfied with the affair he returned to the office and was then given the names and addresses of some others, amongst others Mr. Mr. Mill, of New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, as a person who required a young man, but that person repudiated all knowledge of the matter, and advised him to lay the affair before a magistrate. Mr. Knox said he thought. the best course the applicants could adopt would be to got about a dozen of the persons who had paid money to meet together, and then lay the matter beforo a solicitor and see whether the parties could not be charged with conspiracy. The applicants thanked the magistrate and retired. THAMES. IMPUDENT MENDICANTS.—VIOLENT ASSAULT.—John Sea bright, aged 36, and Charlotte Seabright, his wife, 29, were brought up on remand, charged with mendicancy and violently assaulting Daniel Davey, a police Sergeant, No. 3 11. The prisoners have long been a pest to the people as sembled in the public-houses in Whitechapel and vicinity, by partly coaxing and partly bullying them out of alms, The prisoners were engaged in this manner a few nights ago. They went into the Golden Lion public-house and asked for money. They were turned out of the Golden Lion, and proceeded to the Garrick's Head in Leman-street, adjoin.. ing the H Division station house, where they obtained a penny of a soldier, and demanded another. Davey, who had been watching them, remonstrated with them on the impropriety of their conduct, and expelled them from the house. They had no sooner left it than they made use of fearful lan guage and made a violent attack upon him. They knocked him down, and while the woman was pulling his hair and scratching his face the male prisoner was pummelling him with his fists. Davey soon obtained assistance, and the prisoners were secured. Both were intoxicated, and it seemed they were professional beggars, who expended the contributions of the benevolent in strong drinks, and were a nuisance to the community. The prisoners were sentenced to one month's imprison ment and hard labour in the House of Correction. DRUNKENNESS IN TILE DOCKS.—Peter Byrne, an Irish labourer, was charged with assaulting William Northage a dock constable. The complainant stated that at half-past three o'clock yesterday afternoon he saw the prisoner on the south quay in a state of intoxication, and staggering about from one side of the quay to the other. He directed the pri soner to leave the dock immediately, on which he turned round upon him and struck him a violent blow oil the side of the head. He then laid hold of him. Mr. Partridge—Did you lay hold of him. before he struck you ? Witness —No, I did not. Mr. Partridge —You have no power to arrest a person for being drunk in the (lock, nor any business to lay hold of them, or put a hand upon them. James Oddy, a clerk in the dock, saw the prisoner and the constable both fall together. Mr. Partridge—Then the constable laid hold of the pri soner either beforo he was struck or at the time ho was struck ? Witness—l believe he seized him as ho was falling, and both went down. James Connor, a Metropolitan police-constable, No. 35 H, saw the dock-constable and the prisoner on the ground, and took the prisoner into custody. He made use of fear ful and disgusting language, and declared he would ruin him. The prisoner struggled and tried to get his hand into his mouth. A foreman in the dock said there was a good deal of brandy from Charente, recently landed in the dock and near the place where the prisoner had been employed. Mr. Partridge fined the prisoner 405., and in default one months imprisonment. TIIE TELEGRAPH IN CHINA.—From Pekin we hear, through a private source, that the Russian Government sent out two telegraph officers to ascertain whether it were possible to obtain the permission of the Chinese Govern ment to establish a telegraph from Kiachta to this place, but that the Chinese showed themselves altogether averse to the scheme, and the officers have returned. —Lendonend China Telegraph.

The trial lasted till past candle light, when the court was ordered to be cleared. The Court sat in delibera tion for nearly half an hour, during which time there was a profound silence, and eachonedrew in his in fearful suspense in anticipation of the future. At the order, " Open the court," given to the Provost-Marshal, every eye was bent forward ; every one eagerly listening, and could almost fancy that the beating of every heart was heard in the room. But this fearful suspense was heightened still more by the voice of the President of the Court pro nouncing the words, " This Court is dissolved." The prisoner was then taken charge of by the Pro vost-Marshal, and led back separate from the other rebels under the Provost-Marshal's charge at the station. I have full notes taken of the trial, but I am not permitted to forward them for publication until leave is given me to do so by the Brigadier- General. The charges against George William Gordon were :-Ist, high treason and sedition against her Majesty the Queen ; 2d, inciting to murder and rebellion. After sentence had been passed on him, Gordon wrote the following letter : "My beloved •Wife,--General Nelson has just been kind enough to inform me that the court-mar tial on Saturday last has ordered me to be hung, and that the sentence is to be executed in an hour hence ; so that I shall be gone from this world of sin and sorrow. I regret that my worldly affairs are so de ranged ; but now it cannot be helped. Ido not de serve this sentence; for I never advised or took part in any insurrection. All I ever did was to recom mend the people who complained to seek redress, in a legitimate way ; and if in this I erred or have been misrepresented I do not think I deserve the extreme sentence. It is, however, the will of my Heavenly Father that I should thus suffer in obeying His com mand, to relieve the poor and needy, and to protect, as far as I was able, the oppressed. And glory be to His name ; and I thank Him that I suffer in such a cause. Glory be to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; and I can say it is a great honour thus to suffer, for the servant cannot be greater than his Lord. I can now say with Paul, the aged, The hour of my departure is at hand, and I am ready to be offered up. I have fought a good fight, I have kept the faith, and henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me.' Say to all friends an affectionate farewell, and that they must not grieve for me, for I die innocently. Assure Mr. Airy and all others of the truth of this. Comfort your heart. I certainly little expected this. You must do the best you can, and the Lord will help you, and do not be ashamed of the death your poor husband will have suffered. The judges seemed against me ; and from the rigid manner of the court, I could not get in all the explanation I intended. The man Anderson made an unfounded statement, and so did Gordon ; but his testimony was different from the deposition. The judges took the former andsrased the latter. It seemed that I was to be sacrificed. I know nothing of the man Bogle. I never advised him to the -act or acts which have brought me to this end. Please write to Mr. Chamerovzow, Lord Brougham, and Messrs. Hencknell and Du Buisson. I do not expect that, not being a rebel, I should have been tried and disposed of in this way. I thought his Excellency the Governor would have allowed me a fair trial, if any charge of sedition or inflammatory language were partly [? fairly] attributable tome ; butl have no power of control : may the Lord be merciful to him. General Nelson, who has just come for me, has faithfully promised to let you have this. May the Lord bless him, and all the soldiers and sailors, and all men. Say farewell to Mr. Phillipps, also Mr. Licard, Mr. Bell, Mr. Vinon, and Mr. Henry Dulasse, and many others whom I do not now remember, but who have been true and faithful to me. As the General has come I must close. Remember me to Aunt Eliza in England, and tell her not to be ashamed of my death. Now, my dearest one, the most beloved and faithful, the Lord bless, help, pre serve, and keep you. A kiss for dear mamma, who will be kind to you and Janet. Kiss also Annie and Jane. Say good bye to dear Mr. Davison, and all others. I have only been allowed one hour. I wish more time had been allowed. Farewell also to Mr. Espent, who sent up my private letter to him. And now may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us all.—Your truly devoted and now nearly dying husband, " G. W. GORDON. " I asked leave to see Mr. Panther, but the Gene - ral said I could not. I wish him farewell in Christ: Remember me to auntie and father. Mr. Bamsey has for the last two days been kind to me. I thank him." Ma. Sims REEVES.—The following communica tion has been addressed to the secretary of the Glas gow Choral Union, in reference to a concert at which Mr. Reeves was to have sung yesterday at Glasgow :—" 99, Inverness-terrace, Kensington-garden. Dear Sir, —I very much regret to inform you that Mr. Sims Reeves will bo unable to appear on Wednesday next. He has not been well, and caught a severe cold travelling from London to Manchester, to sing in Mr. Costa's oratorio of ' Naaman.' He was not able to finish the oratorio, and the next day (Friday) he had to travel to Bradford, but when he arrived he was so hoarse he could not sing a note, and is obliged to give up to-day's concert at Newcastle-on-Tyne. I enclose you copy of medioal certificate. Mr. Sims Reeves most deeply regrets this misfortune, and only hopes that he can give you some other date to satisfy your subscribers. Mr. Reeves has written to Mr. Wilbye Cooper to hold himself in readiness to supply his place, which he did on Friday at Bradford, so that, if you tele graph to him immediately you receive this, he could leave London by the twenty minutes past eleven train to-morrow morning. Mr. Reeves would have written earlier, but trusted to be sufficiently recovered to appear, but, as you will perceive by the certificate, 'tis impossible.--I remain, sir, yours truly, in haste.— (Signed)—EmatA REEVES. — Nov. 27." The medical certificate is as follows :—" Mr. Sims Reeves is at present under medical supervision. His state of health renders comparative rest of the utmost im portance to him ; and, unless he relinquish for the present all professional engagements, I have reason to apprehend results of a very serious character.—(Signed) W. PRICE, M.D.—Nov. 24, 1865." ANIMAL GRAFTS.—We gave some time ago an account of some exceedingly curious experiments by means of which Dr. Bert showed that certain portions of a living body introduced into the same or another wouid be come part of the latter, just as is the case vegetable world. The same author has now addressed a second paper to the Academy o f Sciences, in which ho examines by what signs it may be ascertained that a piece transplanted as above has continued to live. The most manifest proof, he remarks, is undoubtedly that which is afforded by the growth of the extraneous piece ; but as this only occurs when the latter is not full-grown, a more fre quent proof is that of its undergoing certain pathological modifications. Thus, for instance, Dr. Bert in one of his ex periments separated the tail of a full-grown rat from its body, introduced it into a glass tube, which he afterwards corked very carefully, and then kept for 72 hours at a tem perature of from 7 to 8 degrees. It was then stripped of its skin, and four centimetres of its extremity were introduced into the sub-cutaneous cellular tissue of another full-grown rat. Three months later Dr. Bert killed the animal and in fused a coloured injection into the aorta; the liquid was seen to penetrate into the marrow of the grafted vertebrae ; this marrow was quite as adipose as in its normal state, but the tail was reduced to the length of 31 centimetres, owing to the absorption of a few of the terminal vertebra), Here then we have evident proofs of vitality in the graft; first, the passage of the coloured injection into it ; secondly, the state of the marrow ; and, thirdly, the absorption of a part. This experiment Dr. Bert has repeated with certain variations and always with equal success. In one of them he left the tails of several rats, 20 days old, to dry under an air-pump ; one half of them were then exposed to a heat of 100 deg. centigrade, and afterwards transplanted. No inflammation ensued in any case, but in all vascular communication was obtained, as well as a slow process of reabsorption, as in the first case described,— Galignan A large number of workmen have been discharged from Brooklyn navy yard. Some prominent citizens of New York gave General Grant a grand reception at the Fifth Avenne Hotel last evening. Two thousand persons were present, including the naval and military official notabilities. The Florida Convention has adjourned, after abolishing slavery, annulling the secession ordinance, repudiating the rebel debt, and providing for receiving the testimony of coloured persons. The Mississippi Assembly has passed a bill permitting negro testimony in certain cases. General Howard reports that the negrocs and loyal whites throughout the South distrust their ability to main tain their rights without the presence of the Federal troops. A national republican bill will be presented to Congress, providing for the organization and government of the re bellious States, by appointing Governors, with power to call conventions to frame oonstitutions which, being ap proved by Congress, the reconstructed States will be ad mitted by special act. Mr. Schuyler CoVax, the prominent candidate for the Speakership of the House of Representatives, made a speech opposing the immediate admission of the Southern representatives to Congress. General Logan has not yet announced the acceptance of the mission to the Mexican Republic. Mr. Browning has accepted the Secretaryship of the L agation. NEW YORK, Nov. 23 (Evening). The liberation of the crew of the Shenandoah is stated to have caused a hostile feeling towards England in Wash ington. All the Federal cavalry regiments except one have been ordered to San Antonio, Texas. The New York press assert that the Emperor Maximi lian has ordered all troops to concentrate at Vera Cruz, the city of Mexico, and San Luis Potosi, and await reinforce ments.

THE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCES/ ANNA MURAT with the young Duke do Mouchy has been postponed in consequence of an injury received by him when riding ; it has been so often spoken of in the papers that it is now in some sort a public affair. Besides the fortune bestowed upon the lady by the Emperor, her cousin, which is said to be considerable, lEs Majesty has presented her, as a marriage present, a pearl and diamond necklace of the value of 200 , 000 f.—£8,000.—and the Empress a wedding dress, the cost of which is 80.000f.—£3,200. Moreover the Palace of Fontainebleau will be placed at the disposal of the young couple. In spite of the alliance which the Duke thus contracts with a lady so near the Throne, the Duke's family, it is said, are anything but pleased, for they affect to look upon it as a niesalliawe ! A DERELICT VESSEL—On Wednesday a steam boat belonging to North Shields put out to sea, with the object of seeking for vessels making for the Tyne, to tow them in. While east of the Cason about 25 miles, the steersman descried a vessel to the east of them, apparently in distress, and labouring heavily. Tho boat immediately altered her course, and bore down upon the vessel, for the purpose of rendering the crew assistance. On approaching her they found that she was lying upon her beam ends, and drifting strongly with the sea. They went alongside and hailed her, but no answer was given to their cry, and not a soul could be seen on deck. The captain of the steamer then made the Olive Branch secure to the vessel, and went on board, but no one could be found. He after wards took her in tow, and reached the harbour between 6 and 7 o'clock. She proved to be the Envoy, of Selby. There is a deal of water in the hold. She is not an old vesool, and will prove a rich prize to the steam-boat owner and the crew. OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER.—The Commis sary of Police in one of the communes close to Paris was summoned on Monday to take note of the self-murder, by means of strangulation, of a person the initial of whose name only is given, and who was 77 years old. Among his papers was found a document headed, "The Mysteries of my Life," with an introduction to this effect :—" I be long to a very good family. I was well brought up. Fatally for myself, I adopted as my device tho Italian maxim, ' Chi va piano va sane.' I know now that, on the contrary, no man should leave for to-morrow what he can do to-day. For my part, I believed that before doing anything it was necessary to deliberate long and ma turely ; and the consequence was that all I took part in turned out unsuccessful. By this mania of post ponement and this dilatoriness of execution I injured my fortune, I forfeited an important situation, and I missed ten marriages. 1 have broken with all my friends, because I never could return a visit in proper time ; pay back an act of politeness, nor keep an appointment; and I was always an hour too late. I had excellent servants, but I never was well served, because I never was ready to be served. 1 thought myself extremely prudent, and I always found myself in a false or a difficult position. After long and profound reflection, I am now convinced that my con stant habit of putting off everything was but a pretext; that my real character was one of selfishness and sloth ; and that I sought to hide, or to cover, that double vice with a fictitious virtue. I was deterred by the fear of fatigue, by my disgust to bodily and mental exertion, by itshethicindtruule cause f continuousthe vexations wlethargicl havere p o c s o e n . s a S n u t c l y h indulgence e o of experienced.

Sales by auction are by no means rare in the metropolis but more than ordinary interest attached to the sale, by Mr. Shakell, this afternoon, at his great room, Park-street, Camden-town, of the trophies of the late Tom Sayers, the ex-champion of England, whose memorable contest with the I3dnicia. Boy (J. C. Heenan) at Farnborough, rendered him one of the most remarkable men in his peculiar sphere. The sale drew an enormous attendance of the friends and admirers of the deceased, amongst whom were Mr. Bennett, Mr. Mensley, Nat. Langham, Harry Brunton, Mr. Gideon, Mr. Warner, Mr. Molroy, Mr. Dutton, Mr. Berkeley, Mr. Crofts, Mr. Hunt, Mr. G. Mensley, Mr. C. Sayers, Mr. Goosey, Mr. ~!cycock. The silver trophies and jewellery which formed the im portant items in the sale were well displayed in the auction room, and altogether the silver articles, on an average, fetched a guinea an ounce. The celebrated champion's belt went below the price it was generally expected it would bring. The first bid for it was £3O, and after very little contest the hammer fell at 32 guineas. Lot 1.

CROYDON AUTUMN STEEPLECHASES. THURSDAY. The concluding day's programme of this meeting was not on a par with that of the previous day, although the committee liberally added nearly 2CB sovs. The fields were small, but 12 horses starting throughout the day, a drawback attributable to the fearful state of the ground through the late rains. The weather was more favourable than on Tuesday or Wednesday, but the course was in worse going, being so " bolding" that the animals actually walked through the heaviest parts of it ; but the last race was of the most exciting description, the finish being the best of the meeting. The following is a full return of the sport:— _ _ _ A Handicap Plate of 40 sous ; any winner after the publi cation of the weights to carry 71b extra. About two miles and a half. Count de la Bigne's R. M. D., 5 yrs, l2st 21b .._ . (G. Quinton) 1 Mr. Burbidge's Bravo aged, list (Capt. Shaw) 2 Selika and Amelia Ann also ran. Botting-2 to 1 on on R. M. D., sto 1 agst Amelia Ann. r The latter for a short distance made play, when Bravo went to the front, closely attended by R. M. D., and they ran thus for a mile and a half, when the two placed alternately led till within halt a mile of home, where R. M. D. improved the pace and took a strong lead. Blundering at the last fence, he nearly threw Quinton, but recovering himself very cleverly, and steadying the favourite, he won by ten lengths. Amelia Ann and Selika did not pass the post. A Selling Handicap of 3 sous each, with 25 added ; the winner to be sold for 40 soya. About two miles. Mr. Hamlin's Idiot, aged, 11st 41b (J. Land) 1 Snaggy, White Stockings, and Netherdale also ran. Idiot went to the front immediately after the start, and, never being approached, came in alone. White Stock ings who ran the entire course, passed the post 300 yards behind the winner. Netherdale fell, and White Stockings came down on States, but fortunately without seriously hurting him Snaggy also came to grief. The winner was not sold. A Handicap Plate of 100 sovs. ; winners to carry 71bs extra. About three miles. Mr. E. Elphick's Goshawk, 6 yrs, lOst 121 b (Pickett) 1 Capt. Jones's Sugar Candy, 6 yrs, lOstlolb ...(MuFphy) 2 Mr. P.

They ran in a cluster for a short distance, when Simple ton took a slight lead. On passing the Stand Meerschaum was in front, but he was soon passed by Simpleton and Goshawk, who alternately led for two miles, when the favourite, who had waited on his horses, took up the run ning, but Goshawk drew up to him in the turnips, and held a strong lead on reappearing on the far side. In the meadows " Candy" gradually drew up to hin t the pa clearing the l as t fence side by side, when a terrific struggle won, commenced, but Goshawk making his final effort, after the finest race of tho meeting, im mense cheering ; Meerschaum was a ton did not pass the post. by b a ad n t e h e ird. am S id i s m t p i l n e - - The Selling Steeplechase was off by consent.
