After many false starts, owing to the breaking away o f Dubiety, who upon one occasion ran some distance before being pulled up, the flag fell to an even start. Honesty was the first to show in advance, waited upon by Dubiety, Surney, Baragah, Kingfisher, and Buckfoot to the turn, the remainder following at intervals into the straight, whore the Clown took up the running, and carried it on past the stand, the remainder going on in the same order, with Blithfield and Saladin last. Going along tho Dee hide The Clown still held the lead, at whose heels were Buckfoot, Honesty, and Kingfisher, the latter immo-_ diately afterwards taking second place, Redcap and De light lying well in the centre of their horses. No change worthy of note took place until entering the straight the second time, where Kingfisher went alongside The Clown, and, in company with Surney and Buckfoot, held the lead past the stand, Redcap, Moulsey, Delight, and Dalby closing on the leaders as they rounded the work house turn, Saladin and Blithfield beaten off. Coming round the turn by the river side Dalby and Redcap passed The Clown, and, with Moulsey and Delight, held a clear lead of their opponents to the Grosvenor turn, where no thing else was left in the race. Entering the straight Dalby still held the lead, and, despite Cannon's strenuous efforts to reach him, won easily by four lengths, five lengths between second and third, and two lengths between third and fourth; Honesty was fifth, Delight sixth, Lion seventh, and The Clown eighth. Delight broke down when running well at the half-mile post, and Baragah broke his leg the first time round. give him any information about the occurrence, and even went so far as to call upon the doctor to have him rmoved. The prisoners were again remanded, and it is said that if Brophy perseveres in his deter mination to baffle justice by withholding from the police the information they believe him capable of giving, he will, on his recovery, be arrested under the habeas Corpus Suspension Act. The case of shooting on Saturday night, in which the soldier named Maher was wounded, is equally strange. Some persons will have it that the soldier was decoyed into the public-house to be murdered, and that the wounding of Dowling was accidental, the bullet being intended for Maher. None of the wounds are dangerous, but up to the present time neither of the wounded men has given any informa tion that would throw light on the matter. It would appear from those cases as if there were Fenian lodges still exi s ti ng in the city. Although it ha s been asserted on authority that the vacant judgeship i n the Landed Estates Court will not be filled up, Sir C. o'L og hl en i s very gene rally mentioned as Jud ge Harg reave ' s probable suc cessor. The Evening Mail says his appointment 4 , would be unexceptionable, and highly popular both with the bar and the7pubh c . ,, A local paper states that Col. the Hon. Luke - White would stand a good chance of being elected for the county of Clare should Sir C. O'Loghlen be raised to the bench. Another serious fire has taken place in Belfast—. in this case in the flax store of Messrs. Atkinson and Jackson, High-street. It was with great difficulty that the fire was kept from extending to the neigh bouring premises ; in fact, several of them became ignited, and were only saved by the promptitude and energy of the fire brigade.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.- The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now extending, over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom front pain, a specialitd rertalning only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth from ss. Sets from 5 to 25 gs., warranted.

The race for the Cup has been, since Delight's very easy win in the City and Suburban, looked upon 13.,s a cer tainty for either Mr. Carew's horse or Redcap, who, on the strength of a high private trial, came into betting for this event almost at the time of Delight's victory. The latter, after going through a knocking out and a bring ing again at Newmarket last week, has since been kept firm in the betting, though after a demonstration last Fri day on the platform at Cambridge, en route from New market to town, Redcap,who had also fluctuated, took such a decided lead that 3 to 1 could only be obtained about him. From that time till tho flag fell the Marquis of Hasting's horse has been supported for very large sums by the influential stable to which ho belongs, as well as by the general public, and the eagerness to get on him brought him to his closing price of 7to 4. The drying wind and sun has made the Roodee very hard, but no material change occurred in the state of the odds, if we except Dalby having at the last the call of the second favourite Delight. Seventeen starters faced Mr.M'George at the post, amid a crowd of people that almost defied the efforts of the constables to clear the course, and after the usual failures the lot got away, the Clown soon taking the lead, witk Buckfoot making running for Dalby, and Redcap and Delight lying well with their horses. Three quarters of a mile from home Dalby went to the front, at tended by Redcap, Delight at the same time running through his horses and taking third place. But the race was over from the moment Dalby assumed the command. Vainly did Redcap make a game effort to reach him, but the last year's winner went in easily four lengths in ad vance of the scarlet and white hoops, amid the groat shouting of the ring. There were several casualties. Baragah broke his leg, we regret to say, the first time round; Saladin pulled his foot off; and Delight, who, if he had won, or even been near it, would have been "the coming horse" for the Derby, broke down. Full details of the running will be found below. HANDICAP of 100 sovs, for 2-yr-olds and upwards. Win ners extra. Three quarters of a mile. 3 sovs entrance. 15 subs.

The objection against Wiseman in the Palatine Stakes morningyestei• yesterday, for the for Stewardscrossing Wa n i dl do v ße r e r e u ,lo . w das gone into this IRELAND. DUBLIN, Wednesday Morning. The result of the court martial upon Drum-Ma jor Butler, of the 2d (Queen's) Regiment, has been promulgated in the presence of the garrison of Cork. Butler was charged with being a member of the Fenian Society, and with " mutinous conduct in knowing that a rising of the troops in Cork was meditated and not making the same known to the commanding officer." He was pronounced guilty , on both charges, and the sentence of penal servi tude for life was recorded against him ; but the Commander-in-Chief, it is said, advised her Ma jesty to revise this sentence, as the evidence was conflicting in its character. This was done, and he was ordered to be degraded to the ranks. "It is reported, says a correspondent of Saunders, " that when the reversal of the sentence was read, many of the soldiers on parade cheered ; but this I cannot vouch for being accurate, as civilians were excluded from the barrack square during the promulgation. His stripes having been torn from his coat, he was sent back to his regiment. He then applied to his commanding officer for leave to wait on his solici tor, Mr. J. Collins, to thank him for his effective defence, which was readily granted, and he imme diately proceeded to that gentleman's residence, and acknowledged his gratitude in the most grateful terms, instantly returning to barracks. It is acknowledged by the authorities here that the court martial has had a most salutary effect in deterring those who had been forgetful of their allegiance, and protecting others from being made the dupes of designing knaves. It is understood that the Ist Royals and 2d Queen's will embark for foreign ser vice in the month of June next." A court-martial sat to-day, in this city, for the trial of gunner John Flood, of the Royal Artillery, on the following charge For conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, in having at Dublin, on or about the 18th of March, 1866, in a parade at Dublin formed to carry out the sentence of his dismissal with ignominy, awarded to him by a general court-martial, lifted his cap over his head, and shouted out, 'Three cheers for the Fenian Brotherhood—three cheers for the Irish Republic,' or words to that effect ; and in passing through the barrack gate shouted out, ' Three cheers for the Irish Republic,' or words to that effect." The prisoner was formerly tried and convicted on the charge of having written a letter of a seditious cha racter to the Irish People newspaper. The prisoner handed in a protest against the jurisdiction of the court, on the ground that when he spoke the words imputed to him he bad ceased to be a soldier within the meaning of the Mutiny Act, " and was not bound thereby so far as the same affects soldiers in her Majesty's service." Evidence having been given in support of the charge, the President asked Flood if he wished to question the witnesses, when he replied—" I respectfully decline to cross-examine them for the reasons I have already given." Capt. Baylay was then examined as to the general character of the prisoner, which he stated to be very bad. The record of the former conviction, for which the prisoner was sentenced to dismissal from the service and two years' imprisonment, was also handed in. The court was then cleared, and the members proceeded with the consideration of the case. The result will not be known for some days. Daniel Darran, the reputed Head Centre for Ballycastle, has been lodged in gaol under the Habeas Corpus Act. As two men were passing along the river at Portadown, this week, they found a leather bag hidden in the grass, containing about 150 newly-made bullets, three bullet-moulds, and a quantity of shot. Henry Griffith and Francis Long were brought up yesterday at Capel-street Police-office, charged with creating a disturbance at Grangegorman church last Sunday. Mr. Murphy appeared to prosecute on behalf of the Crown. Mr. Sidney, Q.C., defended the prisoners. Superintendent Howe, Inspector Armstrong, and the Rev. Mr. Maturic gave evi dence with regard to the conduct of those whe created the disturbance in the church last Sunday, and identified the prisoners as amongst the parties. Mr. Stronge, the presiding magistrate, decided on adjourning the case for a fortnight, trusting, in the mean time, that a better feeling would arise, which would prevent the recurrence of such scenes as those complained of in a house of worship. The shooting case in Thomas-street still remains wrapped in mystery. At the head police-office Yes terday the two men charged with wounding Brophy so severely were brought up on remand, when it was stated by Inspector Kelly that Brophy, who is weak l had refused to still in hospital and extremely International Horticultural Exhibition. The preparations for this exhibition are now in a considerably advanced state, and, thanks to the exertions of Mr. J. Gibson, who superintended the work, and the other members of the committee, it is expected that i n a b ou t a f or t n i g ht' s ti m e plants will be received. The great tent in which the flowers will be displayed will cover about three acres and three quarters. The framing for this is already erected, and resembles that of a line of double roofed sheds, stretching from Cromwell-road to what now remains standing of the late Exhi bition building of 1862. These sheds are 562 ft. in length, and the two principal ones have a breadth of 45ft. each, the remaining five being 40ft. each in breadth. The building is thus 293 ft. broad alto gether, but the 40ft. on the east side will be divided from the rest by canvas, being specially devoted to the exhibition of orchids. The covering of this part is oiled canvas, and it will have a double canvas wall outside, and be heated by means of hot-water pipes. At each side of this tent or division will be ranged the orchids, a pathway 20ft. in width being reserved in the centre for the visitors. The central part has been excavated, so that the promenade is in the centre of a valley, the sides of which are formed of terraces of green turf, on which the plants will be arranged, tastefully relieved by shrubs and ever greens, &c. On the crown of the slopes, or a little beyond them, on each side, walks are also prepared, and beyond these further terraces rise again, so as to give room for a magnificent floral display. The valley will be closed at the end next the llorti cultural Society's gardens, much in the same way as at the sides, with the exception of the walks which will be made through it there. At the end next to Cromwell-road, where the entrance to the exhibition will be, a rock-work has been erected through which a miniature cataract will descend into ponds below, which will contain aquatic plants. Besides this valley ~ the remainder of the space will be occupied by successions of nooks of flowers between which the walks will wind about, conducting visitors, at every turn, to some new ob jects of beauty. On looking at the arrangements it strikes one as a pity that some plan was not adopted by which the line of posts in the very centre of the valley might have been dispensed with. Seen as they are, they will be unsightly, and covered with creepers, or hidden by palm or other trees, they will completely divide what would otherwise be a most splendid sight in two distinct portions. The prizes to be given away amount to £2,500, and it is gra tifying to learn that the committee have received assurances of support from numbers of the most celebrated floriculturists, both British and foreign. It is calculated that above 10,000 visitors will be able to move about in the space set apart for them. Turret Ships of War. Yesterday a Parliamentary blue book was pub lished, showing the nature and results of the inves tigations of the Admiralty into Captain Cowper Coles' plan for constructing sea-going turret-ships of war. Rear-Admiral Yelverton, Captain Cald well, Captain J. J. Kennedy, and Captain H. B. Phillimore were selected in April of last year to examine and report upon Captain Coles' plan. In their report they regretted the severe illness of Cap tain Coles, which prevented him from attending the committee and giving explanations in person, and they also regret that he declined to name any per son to represent him. On the sth of June they. furnished Captain Coles with a summary of the ob jections raised to his plan, without any expression of opinions as to the weight of those objections. Captain Coles ultimately declined answering the objections indicated to him, or furnishing the in formation previously requested of him. The report then states a series of advantages which the committee considered the turret system possesses. A list of the disadvantages follows, and then comes the general opinion of the committee on the system, as follows We fully recognise the great advantages of the revolv ing turret system of armament as applied to floating bat teries, and harbour and coast defence ships; to which they are in a great measure confined, as vessels on the Monitor plan can be built so low as to render it most difficult to hit them, and in which the unlimited training of the turrets would not be interfered with by masts or other obstruc tions. A floating battery of this description, even with one turret only, would be most formidable, for, if the turret were:disabled, she could haul out of action under protection of her consorts. But in a sea-going cruising ship these great advantages would be materially curtailed, because all sea-going ships of equal speed and tonnage, and carrying the same weights, must be of the same height out of the water to enable them to possess the same good sea-going qualities, and to be equally dry ; and must necessarily have masts and other fittings, which would materially limit the amount of training of the guns. We have heard that ships built on the Monitor system could cross the Atlantic with comparative safety, but such vessels cannot, in our opinion, be ever looked upon as sea-going cruising ships. It is shown in evidence that the French, who, there is little doubt, have carefully weighed the question of arming ships with 'evolving turrets, have not adopted the system, nor even thought it desirable to give it a trial in a sea-going o P: Again, it would appear that the Americans, vibe various had considerable experience with turret ships of state scriptions, both in and out of action, do not ntvhsaiedsee r them desirable as sea-going ships. Notwithstanding disadvantages of the ments, weighing the advantages and. ios on the subject, and naval officers who have turret principle, and the divided entertained by naval architects an est jun as it regards sea given careful attention to the s q b a le se tb s- at a conclusive going ship to e c7pable of carrying two 12 ton trial goin g sh s o h u i p H s' be armed with two Ta l e . s, if necessa ry, one 22 ton gun i n zgciovnesnidteorttiht o s t t u e d m es fr u guns in each turr..ev,,eory possible that such guns as these each, as we think it be required at sea ere long, and it is not French, when considering the subject probable thatamo yt , h d e i d not contemplate the necessity of ca of 22 t timeon s rry ships, the . ships should be limited to two tur rets, seto-rglienrge are many disadvantages if more than two are placed i n a ship, and one turret only we think most objec tionable. If more guns than those in the two turrets be considered desirable, the space between the turrets could b e profitably turned to account in a ship of sufficient dis placement by connecting the turrets with a battery of guns worked on the central pivot system." The report then refers to a number of minor mat ters in connection with thequestion, and in conclu sion the committee recommend that the system be The Prussian Government has perceived that the expla nations contained in the despatch of the 7th have set aside after the mutual assurance of the two sovereigns, all ideas of aggression ; that consequently the reasons for military preparations fall of themselves, and that any discussion on the subject of the priority of the alleged armaments be comes superfluous. Nevertheless, the answer of Count Bismarck continues to argue on that idea. The Emperor of Austria does not believe that to be the true means of arriving at an understanding so necessary to . the situation, and he has ordered me to submit the subjoined proposi tions to the Government of King William. By the repeated and direct communications which I have had with the Cabinet of Berlin, it has been informed that there had been some partial movements of troops in Austria, and that some corps had been sent towards her north-west frontier. His Majesty now declares that he is ready -to reverse, by an ordinance which should be dated the 25th of April, those changes of troops which which condition the C a bi net of Berlin regards as military preparations on directed aga i nst Prussia, as well as to take all the mea sureswtohualdt the Prussian bethe necessary aaia n Government result of that w ill step, its side engage to o r d er, on the same or the next day, the reduction to a peace footing of th e diff eren t corps d'armee which since the 27th u l t. have been reinforced By this proposition the Austrian government believes that it is doing all in its power to give a pacific solution to the exchange of explanations which have taken place. Your excellency is begged without delay to express these sentiments to the President of the Council, and to recommend, in leaving him a copy of this despatch, to the most serious consideration of the Cabinet of Berlin the proposition made above, which is anew and incontest a bl e proof of the desire of Austria to maintain E ME peace. SDORFF. The Last Prussian Despatch. The following is the text of the despatch ad dressed by the Prussian Government to Baron von Werther, at Vienna, in reply to the note above given, delivered at Berlin by Count Karolyi on the part of Austria : Berlin, April 21. Your excellency will receive annexed a copy of the de spatch of Count Mensdorif which Count Karolyi read to sue, and left in my hands yesterday. The military mea sures ordered by his Majesty the King, as your excellency has been enabled repeatedly to declare the Imperial Cabinet, had simply the object of restoring that balance in tho preparations for war, which, in the opinion of the King's government, had been disturbed by a large number of the troops distributed in the various provinces of the Empire undertaking movements by which the distance they would, in case of war, have to pass over to reach the Prussian frontier was diminished, and in part very consi derable. From this reason, which was the sole motive for the Prussian armaments, it necessarily follows that his Majesty; will willingly consent to discontinue the pre cautionary measures that have been adopted as soon as, and in the extent to which, the Imperial government shall remove the causes by which they have been called forth. In this sense I empower your excellency, by command of his Majesty the King, to inform the imperial Minister for Foreign Affairs that the King's Government accepts with satisfaction the proposal contained in Count Mensdorff's despatch of April 18. In accordance therewith, as soon as the King's Government receives authentic information that his Majesty the Emperor_ has ordered the displacements of troops required by preparation for war against Prussia to be countermanded, his Majesty the King will also upon his side immediately give orders for the reduction of those portions of the army which have been increased since the 27th of last month. His Majesty will then have the exe cution of this order carried out in the same degree, and within the same period, in which the corresponding dimi nution of the preparations for war of the Imperial Aus trian army is actually effected. With regard to the degree l tft a oua n :: b c c : and ehh place, arl h iba ieen;agtperiodsaccordingly eordi Governmentn Icing'sgcommunications ywithin to keep f kor eovemef further which thesenrettmqhhueeenarAustrianit s\ tvl step tpl assumest t ienr therefore i m t hseaaot Cabinet,tN u , h n r e e d s si n so t aaar awaitys maments with those of Austria. mili tary preparations commenced by other Gorman Govern ments will also be countermanded, and that no further cause for measures of military precaution may be given to it by a continuation of their renewal. Tho King's Govern ment will express itself in this sense to the various Courts, and expects that the Imperial Government, in the interest of peace, will exercise its influence in a similar direction. Your excellency will be good enough to communicate this despatch to Count von Mensdorff, and, should he desire it, leave with him a copy of the same. (Signed) VON BISMARCK. Launch of the Oxfoid University Lifeboat. Tuesday last was a grand day at Oxford, and the proceedings there will be long remembered both by the university and the town. It will probably be remembered that a few months since Capt. Ward, R.N., inspector of lifeboats to the National Lifeboat Institution, attended by invitation a meeting of many of the leading members of the university, in the hall of Queen's College, and explained to them fully the operations of the institution, enumerating the eminent services it bad rendered in saving life from shipwreck, and urging the necessity of an in creased number of boats and an accession of funds, in order to meet the calamities from wrecks at many parts on the coast not at present provided for. The result was that a committee, comprising members of each college, organised a movement for the esta blishment of a university lifeboat, and the appeal met with a response at once so spontaneous and liberal that upwards of £6OO was subscribed, suffi cient to purchase a lifeboat upon the self-righting principle, together with a carriage and all the neces sary equipments. The boat, which had been brought gratuitously to Oxford by the Great Western Rail way Company, was exhibited drawn by four horse n s, through through the principal streets of the city, Cherwell afternoon it was launched from the Bertkshirheande coast immediately opposite the confluence u of t he barges were and the Isis.

The life boat was then launched from the carriage with great facility, manned by ten University oarsmen, and after various evolutions had been gone through it was capsized near Folly Bridge in order to exhibit its capabilities, and in about 4 or 5 seconds it self righted, and immediately relieved itself of the water it had taken in. It will be at once taken to Hayle, `on the Cornish coast, where it will be s ta tioned and manned by the Lifeboat Institution.
