In this case it will be remembered that the petitioner, Colonel Forster, obtained a decree nisi dissolving his marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co respondent, who is the managing partner in the celebrated firm of Meux and Co., brewers. The jury awarded damages of £5,000, and a compromise was effected between the parties, by which it was arranged that £l,OOO of the damages should be paid to the petitioner, and the remain der to be applied to the benefit of the respondent and the two daughters, issue of the marriage. The costs had been taxed at £1,977. The case was argued last Tuesday as to the manner in which the damages should be divided in the way proposed, but it appeared that the respondent was not a party to the arrangement. The 'case was heard in January, 1863, but it had since been carried to the House of Lords, but was not proceeded with in con sequence of the compromise effected. His lordship decided this morning that the arrangemen which had been previously made should be carried ou with reference to all the parties interested in the applica• tion of the damages. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day, 44,- OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) STABBING. Sarah Igo, 22, was indicted for feloniously wounding Mary Metcalf and James Saman, with intent to do them grievous bodily harm. The prisoner had been living with the male pr osecutor as his wife, and imagining he was on terms of familiarity with another woman she conceived strong feelings of jealousy, and seeing Silman in a public house, at the bar of which some women were standing, the prisoner rushed in with a knife in her hand, and inflicted the wounds for which she was indicted. The case having proceeded some length, the Recorder thought the case did not amount to a felony, but that it was a case of unlawful wounding. The jury hereupon found the prisonerguilty of the minor offence, but recommended her to mercy. The counsel for the prisoner urged, in mitigation of punishment, the state of mind in which the prisoner was in at the time. She was rendered desperate by feelings of jealousy, and, under all the circumstances, he hoped the court would deal mercifully with her. The Recorder said there were matters certainly that might mitigate the punishment which otherwise might have been severe ; still the Ilse of the knife under any cir cumstances must be discouraged. The prisoner, no doubt, was nearly mad by jealousy, and the injury she had in flicted on the woman had been, it seems more than pro bable, intended for the male prisoner. The learned Re corder then sentenced the prisoner to three months' im prisonment with hard labour. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) The Court was occupied the whole of the day with try ng the indictments against a prisoner named Green, and leis companions, for stealing a quantity of sugar sweepings, the property of the Messrs. Hunt. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) Timothy lioineox, butcher, living in Worcestershire, was found guilty of sending diseased meat to Newgate Market, and sentenced to be imprisoned for six months, and to pay a fine of £2O. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. FIVE CHARGES AGAINST A MAN.—Walter Gregory, a carman, living at No. 3, Marlborough-row, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk, furiously driving a horse attached to a cart, and assaulting police-constables Langham, 108 C, Maisey, 160 C, and West, 204 C. Woods, 160 C, said that whle on duty the previous even ing, about seven o'clock, he saw the defendant, who was drunk, galloping a horse attached to a cart in Marshall street, Golden-square. He tried to stop the defendant but could not do so until he got to great Pultney-street. Langhara, 108 0, said he went to the assistance of 160 C, wffen the defendant got him down and kicked him in the head twice, and also asstulted some other constables who came to their assistance. Massey, 160 C, proved being bit and kicked by the de. fondant, and Weal, 204 C, beinglicked by him. The defendant said his horse was a cripple and couldnoi gallop, and the police had told lies, as he was not drunk. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was clear that a man who had gal loped a horse in such streets as Marshall-street and Pul teney-street, was a dangerous person to the public. He should fine the defendant 40s. or a month for the furious driving, 10s. or 14 days for the assault on 108 C, and ss. or 7 days for each of the other assaults. The defendant, who, while before the magistrate, be haved himself in a very unbecoming manner, was locked up in default of paying the fines. THAMES. A SILLY CAPTAIN.—Mary Crawley, a very low and dirty woman, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with steal ing two sovereigns and four half-sovereigns from the per son of Captain Thomas Stephenson, the master of a ship called the Lumley, lying in the river of the Commercial Dock, Rotherhithe. The prosecutor said he met the prisoner in Broad-street, Ratcliff, and they had two or three glasses of grog together, and she took his purse with £4 in it. The prisoner—Yes, she took his purse with £4 in it— that's right. We were both drunk, and 1 took his purse from him to take care of it for him. (Laughter.) George Coleman, a police-constable, No. 270 K, stated that he saw the prosecutor holding on to the prisoner, and he charged her with stealing his purse and money. She said she knew nothing of it at all. At the station house he saw her tucking something in her bosom. He seized her hand, and said, " What have you got here ?" She re plied, "Nothing." He snatched the purse out of her hand. It was the captain's purse, with £4 in gold in it. Tha prosecutor was recalled, and said he changed a half sovereign at the first public house he entered, and that be tween the second and third public houses she took his purse from him. Mr. Paget—You went into three public houses drinking with her ? Witness—Yes, sir; we had some grog together. Mr. Paget—And you aro master of the ship Lumley ? Witness—Yes, sir. The prisoner repeated that she took the purse and money from the captain for safe keeping, because he was too drunk to take care of it himself. She had known him eight years. Capt. Stephenson admitted the prisoner was a very old acquaintance. _ _ Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial. EMBEZZLEMENT A DISHONEST SERVANT. - Patrick Mangin was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with felo niously embezzling various sums he bad received for and on account of Mr. John Harris, tobacconist, of No. 3, King's-place, Commercial-road, East. The prisoner was in distress, and Mr. Harris took him into his service without a character, and gave him em ployment. He employed the prisoner on Tuesday last and three following days to deliver goods for him. On Friday the prisoner absconded and did not return. Mr. Harris ascertained that the prisoner had received three sums of money from as many customers, which he had appropriated to his own use. The amounts in all were 18s. 9d. only, but the prisoner had added ingratitude to his dishonesty, and Mr. Harris felt called upon to prosecute. The prisoner, a most impudent fellow, put on the ap pearance of an ill-used man. Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial. Mr. Harris begged of the magistrate to dispose of the case summarily, and save him the expense and inconvenience of attending the sessions. Mr. Paget said he had no power to dispose of this case summarily. He had no alternative ; he must send the case before a jury. AST, 'RE. The energetic lessee of this theatre, Mr. E. T. Smith, last night commenced his efforts to revive the taste for English opera, such as pleased the public in the 'days of Braham, Incledon, and Phillips. The opera selected for the opening night was " Guy Mannering," and in order that it might be given with the greatest effect, Mr. Smith has entered into an engagement with Miss Louisa Pyne, Miss Susan Pyne, Mr. W. Harrison, Mr. and Mrs. Weiss, Mr. Vernon Rigby, Mr. E. St. Albyn, Miss A. Cottrell, and a powerful orchestra, admirably conducted by Mr. J. H. Tully. The opera of " Guy Mannering," to the older portion of the audience, is full of the most delightful associations; and those who are not thus attracted by it cannot but feel charmed with the pure, simple, and touching music of Sir Henry Bishop, and the admirable story of Sir Walter Scott. In order to move with the taste of the time some popular songs were introduced, and thus we had a ballad from all the principal artistes. Mr. Har rison sang "Be mine, dear maid ;" Miss L. Pyne, " The Power of Love," from the opera of " Sata nella ;" Mr. and Weiss, " The Wolf." The original music was excellently sung, the celebrated gipsy glee and chorus, " The Chough and Crow," elicit ing the most enthusiastic applause. The dramatic characters were well supported by Mr. B. Potter as Dandie Dinmont of Charlie's Hope ; Mr. Atkins, Dominic Sampson ; and Mr. Fraser, as Gilbert Glossin. We could have wished that Mrs. Macready had been a little more natural in her assumption of the part of Meg Merrilles. It seemed to us to be the lady's desire to imitate Miss Cushman in the part, but the attempt fell far short of accomplishment. Her reading was in many parts pointless and monotonous, whilst her attitudes were at times perfectly absurd and unnatural. The opera, however, gave the greatest delight, and at the fall of the curtain the applause was general and enthusiastic. The popular burletta of " Midas" followed the opera, and was much enjoyed from the lively and clever way iii which it was performed, and the number of attractive ladies it comprises as heathen gods and goddesses, foremost amongst whom shines and sings Miss A. Cottrell. Altogether, we may congratulate the manager on the new vein of performance he has opened ; and there can be no doubt that the fine old English opera, full as it is of airs and music that have become national, will be duly appreciated. French Theatricals. FRANCAISE.—A new piece entitled " Le Supplice d'une Femme," has been brought out at this theatre with a success which is well deserved, though the incidents are rather sensational than delicate. The curtain rises upon a home which has the out ward appearance of happiness. M. Dumont has a charming wife, a charming daughter, and a trustedfriend, Alvarez, who has saved him from ruin and has become his partner. Alas ! there is crime in this seeming Paradise; Madame Dumont had hardly been married when she forgot her vows, and the fruit of her forgetfulness is her daughter Jeanne ; her married life has been spent in remorse, for she never loved her seducer, Alvarez, a man of violent temperament and jealous of her husband. This false situation has lasted for years, but at last it becomes suspected and insupportable ; a dismissed maid and some scandal-loving ladies soon made known a secret which remains hidden from the husband alone, and the passion of Alvarez and his jealousy reach their climax. Alvarez leaves the house and writes to Madame Dumont to join him with Jeanne ; this letter is delivered to her in the presence of a lady who with perfidious kindness informs M. Dumont that his wife has been greatly afflicted by a letter which she has just received. Several ideas pass rapidly through the brain of the unfortunate woman—death, flight, or shall she re main and acknowledge all ; she is still undecided when her husband enters and finds her in a state bordering on madness ;• kind and gentle as ever, he tries to console her and asks for the fatal letter, which after a slight hesitation his wife places in his hands. M. Dumont at first fails to comprehend its meaning, and fearful is the scene which follows be tween the deluded man and the penitent woman as she kneels and confesses gradually the whole extent of her crime. M. Dumont has nothing left to him but vengeance, and this shall be the signal : " The robb'd that smiles steals something from the thief." He asks for Alvarez, and shows hir that the whole measure of his iniquity is known ; he tells him that his wife prefers the anger of an injured husband to flight with a man she never loved. He will have recourse to no tribunal, nor will he fight the wretch who has dishonoured him. "Ifl do not kill you, where is the reparation ? If you kill me, where is the justice ?" Dumont exacts that Alvarez shall ruin him by demanding immediate payment of certain sums. It is in vain that Alvarez protests against this infamy ; in case of his refusing Dumont threatens suicide. He then, refusing to pardon his wife, who continues to protest that she never loved another, orders her home to her parents, and directs her to write that, unable to support poverty, she has preferred to leave him. Dumont saves his wife's character, for scandal imagines that Alvarez has ruined Dumont to revenge his wife's resistance. Dumont retains Jeanne, who, sitting on his knee as the curtain is about to fall, asks if she shall ever see her mother again, and the answer is, " perhaps," for Dumont knows that his wife is not irrecoverablylost. During the three acts of this piece the interest never flags ; the incidents of the plot follow each other with wonderful rapidity but perfect clearness, and the author makes this passion, pent up for seven years, and this concealed crime, appear natural by the vigour of his delineation and the lucidity of his dialogue. The play is admirably acted by Regnier, Lafontaine, Mlle. Favart, Mlle. Ponsin, and a little girl called Duquesnois. At the close of the piece Regnier came forward and announced that " the author desired to remain anonymous." His name is, however, well known—it is M. Emile de Girardin ; but the play having been touched up, on-dit, by M. Dumas, fils, M. de Girardin declined to assume the honours of paternity—at least, such is . the story current on the subject. VAUDEVILLE.—M. E. Feydeau has made his debut as a dramatist at this theatre, by placing on the stage a man whose infamous character he had pre viously sketched in a novel which appeared in the Opinion Nationale. M. Feydeau has gradually im proved the tone of his novels, and it is to be hoped that the same amelioration will be perceptible in his dramatic works if he should continue writing for the stage ; nor will this be found difficult when ono com mences with such a piece as " M. de St. Bertrand." M. de St. Bertrand, who is the hero of the play, has wormed himself into the confidence of a banker--M. do Valmascda ; he wishes to marry his daughter, who is engaged to and loves a bold dragoon, M. de Bugny ; and to effect this object he gives play to all his rascality. St. Bertrand has been born beyond the pale, and his reputed father is the Chevalier Florim ond, who has on several occa sions been forced to turn the scapegrace out of doors. The Chevalier at length learns that his son has reached the lowest depths of degrada tion—that he has been living not only with, but upon, a popular danseuse, and, having squandered her fortune, has left her. This damaging fact forms the pivot of the piece, and Saint Bertrand's efforts to prevents its disclosure lead to several powerful scenes. At length he is unmasked, and contemptu ously dismissed by all connected with him. This piece, reprehensible as is its subject, is not devoid of an 'amount of interest which will carry it through a fair number of representations, but it bears evident traces of being the work of a new hand. It is hardly probable that a richer banker would stoop to learn finance from a stranger, or that a diplo matist like the Chevalier should allow himself to be constantly outwitted by so transparent a rogue. At the close of the piece the author's name was pro claimed amid loud applause. BOUFFES.—MIIe. Theresa is singing with great success at this theatre in a little piece written for the occasion, and called " C'est pour ce Soir." Many persons who would not venture to a cafe chantant are now enabled to hear this celebrated artiste, who sings a different song each evening. The director of the Union Musicale of Paris, M. C. Soullier, recently offered prizes for the best musical compositions adapted for the represen tation as comic operas. The awards have now been made, and are as follows : first prize, "Le Chevalier Lubin," by M. A. Boieldieu ; second, "Le Reve," by M. Savary ; and third, "La Char meuse de Saint-Vallier, by M. Dard, of St. Etiene. Le Chevalier Luoin was sent in under an assumed name, and M. Boieldieu only came foriVard and declared himself to be the composer after the decision of the jury by which the prizes were awarded had been published. This work was accepted by the theatre of the Opera Comique some time back, but has not yet been put into rehearsal. AUGUSTE BRAVAIS.—The biography of a scientific man is often science itself, and this is the case with " Eloge ilistorique d'Auguste Bravais" by M. Elie de Beaufnont, the distinguished geologist and Per petual Secretary of the Academy of Sciences. We cannot enter into the particulars of a life of unparal leled activity, every hour of which, so to say, was marked by some incident of scientific interest ; and will therefore only mention a characteristic trait of the indefatigable traveller and naturalist whilst yet a boy. Young Bravais was not more than ten years old when his elder brothers, returning from a trip to the Pilat, a mountain at a few leagues' distance from Annonay (Ardeche) where they lived, brought with them a quantity of new flowers and curious insects, at the same time describing in glowing terms the spectacle of the sun rising behind Mont Blanc. The boy could not resist the temptation ; he disappeared one morning, and only returned on the following day, with flowers and insects, informing his parents that he had passed the night on the summet of the Pilat, had drunk water at the source of the Gior, and seen the sun rise from behind Mont Blanc! Such was the future member of the Institute, whose exploration of the Polar regions, and sur veys and observations in those high latitudes, contributed in such an unusual degree to the advancement of various branches of science. From among the different subjects touched upon by M. Elie de Beaumont, we will select that of white rainbows, which many of our readers may bo un acquainted with. This phenomenon is sometimes observed in low fogs, and at a short distance from the spectator. The common rainbow had been explained by various philosophers, including Descartes and Newton, by the refraction and reflection of sunlight playing on the rain drops; but the white rainbow remained unexplained until Bravais showed that when a cloud is formed of little hol low spheres the thickness of whose watery film is comprised within 38 and 55 hundredths of the inner radius, a lumi nous white bow of a radius of from 34 to 40 degrees (and, bo therefore, smaller than the common rainbow) must formed. In common clouds the watery envelope of the globules is thinner than the proportion above stated admits, inbow and this prevents the formation of a white Bravais, born at Annonay in 1811, died at. Versailles in 1863, of the consequences of a brain fever. WESTMINSTER. SINGULAR. CASE OF " RETAINING" A LEG.—Mary Har rison, a young woman of respectable appearance, was placed at the bar charged with stealing a pocket-book and up wards of £2 from the person of William Austin, of 15, Radnor-street, Chelsea. Prosecutor said that he was returning home between 12 and 1 o'clock last night when he was accosted by the prisoner at the corner of Blenheim-street. He walked on and she continued by his side for a few minutes, when on a sudden, in the midst of her conversation, he discovered that his pocket-book and money had been stolen. He could not understand how it had been done, but he was certain that the prisoner was the culprit, as he had his pocket-book and money safe just before ho met with her. He told her she had taken his pocket-book, but she positively denied it, and he told her he should give her into custody. He then saw her sud denly stoop down to adjust her boot-lace, and, hearing coin, he was certain that she was in some way disposing of his money, and then "retained" one of her legs and found he was right. Mr. Arnold—How do you mean "retained" her leg ? Prosecutor—l clasped it tightly by the ancle, and held her till some of the money was found in her stocking. A policeman proved finding the prisoner " pinned" by the leg as described. S ome s il ver was f oun d concealed in her stocking. Prisoner was remanded. MISS RUSSELL'S CONCERT.—Prior to the resump tion of her engagement a t th e O x f or d i n the ensuing week, Miss Russell, the leadi ng soprano, announces her first benefit concert for Thur 3 d a y nex t, a t th e Canterbury Hall. In addition to the vocal, instrumental, and general forces of the two establishments, some well-known ofes sional names embellish the special programme for the occa sion, and the host of friends of tho fair beneficiare may ex pect a rare treat. During the brief absence of Miss Russell, the rumour has gone abroad that her gifted relative, Mr. Henry Russell, the people's composer, is to receive the honour of knighthood, and perhaps we may hear one or two of his stirring compositions at Miss Russell's concert, which promises to be a complete success. 1C33 ITIES. Lambath Election—This Day. This morning the electors of the borough of Lam beth proceeded to the election of a member to serve in the present Parliament, in the room of Mr. W. Williams, deceased. The hustings were erected in the large open space near the Horns" Tavern, Kensington, so often the scene of fierce political conflicts. To-day there was nothing fierce or exciting, and the whole proceeding was a very dull affair indeed. Mr. ONsLow, the returning officer, briefly opened the proceedings. They were now called upon to elect a burgess to supply the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Williams, and he hoped the proceeed ings would be conducted with justice to all parties. Mr. T. WEBBER nominated Mr. Alderman James Clarke Lawrence as a fit and proper person to re present the borough in Parliament. Mr. J. A. LYON seconded the nomination. Mr. ONSLOW then inquired whether any elector had another candidate to propose. There was no response. After waiting a moment or two, Alder man J. C. Lawrence was declared duly elected. Alderman LAWRENCE thanked the electors for the honour, conferred upon him, and propoeed a vote of thanks to Mr. Onslow, and the proceedings terminated. Cardinal Wiseman's Successor, Authentic information has just reached England that " The Most Rev. Monsignore Manning" was a few days since nominated " Archbishop of West minster" by His Holiness Pope Pius IX. LiTerpool Cotton Market—This Day. Market opens stead,. Sales, probably 15,000 bales. Last night, Mr. Mason Jones delivered, at the Hanover-square Rooms, the first of his two an nounced orations on the American War. The reserved seats wore not half-occupied, but the body of the room was filled with a sympathetic audience, who warmly cheered the speaker when he alluded to the virtues of the Federals, denounced the vices of the Secessionists, made a sly hit at our aristocracy as egotist and arbitrary, or lamented the with holding of their constitutional rights from the masses of our people. As might be anticipated, Mr. Jones's " Oration' consisted of the most virulent abuse of the Southern people and Southern leaders—to neither of whom did he concede the possession of one good quality or generous feeling—while the Northerns were the - champions of liberty, who had sprung to arms, not to maintain dominion but to achieve the liberty of the slave. He described with all the pathos he could command, the brutality of the Southerns towards their slaves, how they branded and flogged them—but he completely ignored the corporal punishment inflicted on respectable women by the command of Butler, or the outrages perpetrated on young and innocent girls belonging to the first Southern families, by the soldiers of Seigel ; the acts of both being sanctioned by the Government which the orator would hold up for our admiration. Mr. Jones is an Irishman, and we do not consider that he merits his acquired reputation as a public speaker. He has the fluency which constant practice usually gives, and his last night's speech was doubtless but the repetition of an often practised lesson, for he is a lecturer by profession ; but his voice, though powerful, is not pleasing or sympathetic—its tone is a cross between a tbnrotandts country,lrishbroagnutiethaen,d, s a nt n ve a l s l a in l g American twang—and although he roundly d enounced the Southern sympathisers press, we d o not think that thwisriteeurlso' in our public press, um on his lic patrons the Yank ees w i ll have much effect in enlisting the sympathies of Englishmen in their favour. DEATH OF A GRAND RABBI IN PARIS.—Tho spiritual head of the Jews in France, M. Ulmann, Grand Rabbi of the Central Consistory, died in Paris at two o'clock on Saturday morning, after long suffering from disease of the chest, which left no hope of recovery. The rabbinical functions being elective, the different consisto ries of Franco will soon be convoked to choose a successor to M. Ulmann. WEDGWOOD THE FIRST ARTISTIC POTTER.—With Wedgwood the era of true improvement began. Up to this period there had been nothing worthy of the nature of decorative art ; of colour, proportion, or form. A mixture of different coloured clays, or rude outlines scratched in by a nail, a blue or brown edge line, or a• paste-like medallion luted to the surfaces, were the highest efforts of ornamental art. After all that had been done for the improvement of the different bodies, they were at best flimsy and indifferently glazed—the hue of the white ware was bad, and the forms of their adjuncts were ill proportioned, often angular, and almost always without those flowing outlines that, whilst severely true to geo metrical principles, show the utmost grace, delicacy, and beauty. Wedgwood, true to the inductive spirit of an age then opening to his generation and those which would follow, took up his art as a science, and based its improve ment upon principles. Wasting his time in no impossible tracks of experiment, he pursued only those which rigidly belonged both geologically and chemically to the art of the potter. He thus produced various bodies of great ex cellence, by new combinations of materials in common use, or by an analysis and trial of those hitherto untested.— Meteyard's Life of Wellgwood. EXPENSES Or FORTIFICATIONS. Yesterday a return was published, showing that the amount actually expended up to March 31st of the present year, out of the moneys issued from the Consolidated Fund for the ex penses of fortifications was £ 3 ,574,892 16s. The total amount raised is £3,600,000, and there remains to be issued £1,010,000. The total annuities created to meet this ex penditure was £239,341, calculated at the rate of 3f per cent. The Alliance Bank have made a call of £5 per share on the new shares of 1864, numbered 30,001 and upwards, payable on the Bth of June at the Bank, 5, Lothbury, and its branches at Liverpool and Manchester. Notice has been given by the National Bank of India that the unissued 10,000 shares of £5O each will be allotted. Of this number 5,000 have been subscribed for in Bombay at £2 prem., and the re maining 5,000 are to be offered to shareholders in England at the same premium, at the rate . of new for every two old shares. During the last few days there has not been much animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. The operations in tea have been on the most restricted scale, while only moderate transac tions have been reported in sugar, coffee, and rice, without any material change in values. SPORTING NOTES. The result of the Two Thousand has settled the pre tensions of a good number of the favourites for the Derby. It will be remembered that I told my readers last week to be sure and take the long price they could get about Gladiateur for the Derby, as they would be sure to get rare hedging. Had it not been for the uncertainty about his starting for the Guineas, I would have actually placed the first three for that race. As it was, I discarded all the bolstered-up favourites, viz., Breadalbane, Bedminster, and Kangaroo, and placed Archimedes first and Liddington second. I was likewise fortunate in selecting Siberia for the One Thousand Guineas. The first day's racing at Newmarket commenced with the Two-yr-old Plate. The talent spotted Ulphus by Newminster, out of Saccharissa, and Acrostic by King Tom, out of Scholar's dam, as the pair most likely to supply the winner, and the good looks of the first-named attracted general atten tion ; but he was defeated by ono of Mr. Hodgman's " V.'s," a filly . by Vedette, out of Alice, one of the Diss Yearlings, for whom her owner gave but 55 guineas at the Corner last summer. A Handicap Plate stood next, and this went to a colt by Trumpeter, out of Miss Bowzer, who only ran once last year, and then ho was uuplaced to Hope at Huntingdon. Upon this occasion ho was inkle a warm favourite, and, carrying a respectable weight, he made a rare example of his field, which included Merry Wife, Brick, and Greenland. Macdonald's penalty told against him in the Two-yr-old Sweepstakes, and he was beaten after a splendid race with Tina and Fleurette. Quarantine and Tring were ultimately made favourites for the Ditch Mile Plate, and they ran first and second after a capital race, while another fine struggle was seen for the big event, the Prince of Wales Stakes, for which the com petitors numbered 25. Diomed had the call from having been galloped at home with Kangaroo prior to the latter's departure for the Danebury stable, and his party thought him almost a certainty, but many of the public stood by Argonaut, who had only 31b more to carry than he had at Epsom. Of the others, Master Richard, Lampoon, Cam buscan, Vivid,' and Donnybrook, had the most friends, but the issue, as for the City and Suburban, was between Wells and Jemmy Grimshaw, and the latter, who rode Diomed, could not get within a neck of Sir Joseph's horse. The second day was well patronised. As for the attend ance, it was the largest by many thousands ever seen on the Heath, and carriages, five or six deep, lined the course for a third of the way down one side of the Row ley Mile (upon which the Two Thousand is run), while the other side was thickly studded with horsemen and lady equestrians. From an early hour the High-street was alive with excitement, and there was, if possible, more than the customary anxiety displayed to learn the latest moves upon the Two Thousand, pregnant with the fate of so many Derby favourites. The sensation move of the morning was the striking out of Chattanooga, at 11 minutes after 9 o'clock. The field, for the Two Thousand, was far stronger than had been anticipated, only Chattanooga and Koenig being absentees of the score coloured on the card. Of these the Danebury stable supplied three (Kan garoo, Tibia, and Pantaloon), the Whitewall stable two (Ariel and Rifle), the French stable two (Gladiateur and Le Mandarin), Gedding's stable two (Joker and Lazzaretto), and Mr. Merry two (Liddington and Zambesi), and the remainder of the field was made up of Archi medes, Jack o' Lantern, Regalia, Bedminster, Tilt, Breadalbane, and Cedric, Regalia and Tibia being the only fillies among them. There was an immense assem blage in the vicinity of the stables, and Mr. M`George had all his work to do to keep people out of the way of the horses at the starting place, the utmost anxiety being evinced to get a look at the cracks. There was some de lay, and four or five false start; the latter being caused by the riders of Pantaloon and Le Mandarin, who went to assist their stable companions, but they were fairly de spatched at the finish, and when half the distance had been got over the great Danebury favourite was in trouble, while Bedminster was beaten as they passed the bushes, the issue at that point being seemingly confined to Lid dington, Breadalbane, and Gladiateur. Breadalbane, how ever, seemed to get frightened as he heard the roars of the multitude, and ran very green when witiiin the cords, where Archimedes began to make up to Gladiateur, but failing quite to reach him was beaten a neck, Liddington being stalled off the winner by double that distance, while little Zambesi (who has not grown upwards in the least) struggled to the finish, and ran within a head of his stable companion. So magnificent, a race for the Guineas has never been witnessed before, and only those in the vicinity of the Stand could say which had won till " No. 11" was telegraphed by Judge Clark, when a complete roar emanated from the bookmakers, many of whom thought that Lid dington had just got home. The French division were highly elated, but the general body of backers were not, as they did not stand Gladiateur. The Chester Cup, the principal race of the Chester Meet ing, w ill be decided to-morrow. The field will not be large, and will, in all likelihood, comprise the most of the following : PROBABLE STARTERS AND JOCKEYS. La Toucques, 5 yrs, Bst 81b J. Osborne. Tartar, 4 yrs, Bst 41b Doyle. Ackworth, 4 yrs, Bst Fordham. Soumise, 4 yrs, 7st 101 b Gratitude, 5 yrs, ist 41b H. Covey or S. Adams. Victorious, 3 yrs, 7st Morris. Buckfoot, 4 yrs, Est 10113 Wandering Minstrel, 4 yrs, } Tomlinson. Est 101 b Daniel O'Rourke colt, 4 yrs,) Hibbard. Est 81b Lion, 3 yrs, 6st 41b J. Grimshaw. The Grinder, 3 yrs, Est 31b Heartfield. Change, 5 yrs, 7st 71b Loatos. Helen, 4 yrs, Est Ward. The Brower, aged, Est 21b Leprochattn, 4 yrs, 7st Mcestissima filly, 3 yrs, Est Macbeth, 4 yrs, sst 121 b Balham, aged, Est 101 b Redcap, 4 yrs, 7st 41b Bradamante, 4 yrs, 7st 51b When the handicap was made, Lord Zetland was imme diately picked out as best in, but he has now retired to the outside division. La Toucquos, if in anything like her three-yr-old form, must be dangerous. Ackworth will have the assistance of Fordham. He ran a great horse at both the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire last year, but I think he will have to succumb to several of his own year, who are quite as well treated by the handicapper. Gratitude is one of the starters that will run to win, and may secure a situation. Highfiyer's dam colt is another of the middle weight division that is sure to run forward. Buckfoot performed creditably both last year and this; and if his owner backs ,him, it would not astonish mo to see him nearly winning. Victorious and Lion will turn out the best of the throe yr-olds ; and remembering what Tim Whiffler done with nearly the same impost as the former, he must be ex tremely dangerous. Helen, one of the most wretched performers, both as a two-yr-old and three-yr-old, has suddenly become first favourite. She has been highly tried with the Clown, Tho Tartar, and several other good horses. Knowing what the same division did in 1861 with Ben Webster, no attention must be paid to her previous performances, as the parties connected with the stable can afford to wait till they get their horses so favourably handicapped as almost to reduce the race to a certainty. The judge, I expect, will hoist the num- _ . bers of— HELEN 1 RUCKPOOT 2 LION OR BREWER 3 Since the above was written, I have been credibly informed that Jommy Grimshaw will ride Helen.

According to this act, if a prisoner while under sentence of death, or indeed any other sentence, is alleged to be insane, an application may bo made to the sheriff of the county to have an examina tion made of the prisoner as to his insanity by the sheriff and two medical men, and on their certifying that the pri soner is insane at the time of the examination, and these certificates being laid before the Home Secretary, the act provides that he shall grant a warrant for the prisoner's removal to a lunatic asylum during her Majesty's pleasure. The particulars of the investigation in the present case have not, of course, transpired; but we have good reason to believe that the result of the investigation was a report by the medical men, concurred in by the sheriff, that the unfortunate man is labouring under such an amount of mental disease as to warrant his removal to a lunatic asylum.
