The money market is in an easy condition, and accommodation is obtainable *, and in some in stances I, per cent.lbelow the official minimum. The demand for money is nevertheless active owing to the settlement to-day at the Stock Exchange. A report has been issued by the Cambrian Gold Mining Company, which is to be presented to the aharehotders on the 21st inst. It recommends a thssolution of the concern. The directors of the Alhambra Company have announced that the subscription list will close on Monday next, the 20th inst., for London, and on Tuesday, the 21st, for the country. Two o'CLocx.

Few dealings are recorded in the official lists of the Stock Exchange to-day except in connection With the fortnightly liquidation in foreign securi tiescand the various share departments.

IP, LAW INTELLIGENCE.--This Day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) GINGER V. GINGER. This was a petition for dissolution of marriage presented by the wife against her husband. The evidence was of a very immoral character, not being sufficient to clearly establish the allegations in the petition, and it was dismissed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF FRAUD. Isaac Brackenborough Truman, describing himself as a traveller, of Swan-street, Bethnal-green, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, on a warrant with unlawfully obtaining a horse and cart by false pretences from Mr. Coggings, licensed victualler, of the Earl of Derby public-house, Purest-gate, Essex. Mr. Thomas Beard prosecuted, and in opening the case stated that, although the face of the prisoner might not be familiar to his worship, it was so to his colleague, as he had been previously charged at that court with a similar offence, but escaped. Mr.. W. Coggings Said—On the 3d November last I had a pony, chaise, and harness for sale. On that day I met the prisoner at the New Cattle-market. He came up to me and said, "Do they belong to you ?" I said, " Yes ; they are for sale. Aro you a buyer?" The prisoner said, " I should like to see how the pony can go." I then told him to get up and I would show him, and he did so. I drove him round the market, and he seemed very well satisfied, and said it was a pony that would just suit him. He then asked me if it would run in a four-wheel chaise, as he bad one, and wanted it for his wife to drive round the park. He asked me what I wanted for it, and I said 20 guineas, and he then said he should like his wife to see it before he paid for it. He then asked me to take it to Sawyer's livery stables, in the Curtain-road, at 8 at night, and that he would then meet me there and pay me the money. He then asked me what was the lowest I would take, and' I said £2O. I went to the place ap pointed and saw the prisoner: He said his wife had gone out, and asked me to leave them and to meet him the next morning at half-past 10 o'clock at the Baker and Basket public-house. I went there the next morning and found a card left for me that the prisoner had gone to St. Martin's lane. I went to St. Martin's-lane, opposite the Horse Repository. On the 'prisoner coming out I asked him if he had the money to pay me, and he then said that he had been purchasing two van . horsis, for Which: he had paid £5O, and that had made him short of cash. He then asked me to take a bill on the London and County Bank for the amount. I said I could not do so for the whole amount, as I must have some cash. After conversation I agreed to take a bill for £l6 and £5 in money. He said he could not say whether there was a sufficiency at the bhnk at pre sent, but that there would be £3OO or£4oo in a day or two, and for that reason the bill was made payable seven days after date. The prisoner then produced a bill stamp and asked a cabman to fill up the bill, but that was spoilt The prisoner said he could not write himself and asked me if I could write. I said I could a little, and he then told me to fill up the bill. Seeing the word " Number " on it I asked him what number I was to put in, and he said " 107." I told him I could not do it, and did not _un derstand it ; he then took the bill from me and filled it up. He told me that he was in the flour trade in a large way of business, and that he lived in Swan-street, Bethnal-green . Believing his story to be true I parted with my property At the end of the seven days I went to the London and County Bank, both in Lombard-street and Shoreditch and the answer I received was that the prisoner was not known, and that he had never had an account at the bank. I have never been able to find the prisoner nor my pro perty. ' _ Prisoner —Did I not say that I did not wish for your property without the mousy Prosecutor—You said you had a banking account. I went to the address you gave me in Swan-street, and there was no appearance of your . being largely engaged in the flour trade, as I had to knock twice, and the card did not find you. Philip Shrives, 82 C - I took the prisoner into custody last night. Ho told me that he would go with me, but that the bill was not due. He said he had the property still, but would not say where it was. Mr. Tyrwhitt —I shall remand the prisoner for a.week. The prisoner—Will you take bail ? Mr. Tyrwhitt—Certainly not. The Paris Exhibition of 1867. PARIS, Nov. 13 The Minister of Public Instruction has addressed a report to the Emperor, dated Nov. 8, recommend ing that, in the Paris International Exhibition of 1867, there should be a representation of the pro gress made by the moral and political sciences in France during the last 20 years, by means of a series of reports from eminent men upon the several branches of these subjects. The Minister's report is as follows : " Sire,—The idea of periodical exhibitions is en tirely French. It dates from Louis XIV. for the fine arts, from the Revolution for trade, and France, after having given it to the world, has unceasingly enlarged its proportions in order to render it more fruitful. As far back as 16 years ago, sire, you wished to invite all the nations to these gr an d so - I lemnities. It was England who realised this idea, and saw the first International Exhibition. The palace in'llyde-park only received in 1851 objects furnished by nature herself or by human industry. In 1865 the Emperor decided that the two previpus French exhibitions should be united. Art was placed side by side with manufactures. Amid the magni ficence displayed in London in 1862, it was recog nised that the most precious instrument of labour was still man, and that the productive value of the workman would be increased by augmenting his in tellectual value. The English commission created a special class of popular instruction with this same object ; the imperial commission has just established two. But international exhibitions tend to become the complete representation of modern society in all its modes of activity. After having placed art by the side, of manufactures, which it - embellishes and - elevates, your Majesty wiShed.to place pure science near the applications, which are only its outward manifestations. While the Emperor directsthe study of the question which will lead to the discovery of that organisation which, since the destruction of corporations, the mercantile world has been con stantly seeking, you desire, sire, that it be demanded of the moral and political sciences what they have produced to ameliorate the state of society; and of French literature what it has done to elevate the soul of the nation. The way of realising this idea is simple. Let the Emperor deign to authorise the Minister of Public Instruction to be an exhibitor. If his productions occupy a small space under a very modest form, they will none the less attract attention; and I do not hesitate.to say that several will survive the triumphs of their more brilliant neighbours, since the one much more than the other expresses the mind of France. I have al ready secured the support of eminent men, who will describe in a series of reports, bearing their signa ture, in order that each may have the honour, as the responsibility, of his work :-1. The progress accomplished in France in the mathematical, physi cal, and natural sciences during the last 20 years— that is to say, since the era of the great exhibitions. 2. The progress accomplished by the moral and po litical sciences in their application to the necessities of society. 3. The part fulfilled lay French literature, which should be studied less in point of form, which is the mission of literary criticism, than in its effects upon the general education of the country. At the Exhibition palace, in the midst of those material products, which area pledge of national welfare, the liberal arts can only enter by showing that they bring to a people not only noble amusement, but moral strength and dignity. The Emperor, whose solicitude extends from the simple teaching of the infant school to the highest speculations of science, cannot give a more useful encouragement to thelat ter than this picture of the efforts, the greatness, and even in certain points the defects, of the mind of France. If foreign nations thought fit to make a similar examination of themselves, it would no longer only be by the invention of each that all would profit. By a comparison of the progress accom plished in various parts in scientific and moral order, every people would enter the path of fresh progress, the level of civilisation would rise, and an addi tional guarantee would be given for the peace of the world.—l am, &c., "V. DURUY, The Minister of Public Instruction. (Approved) " NAPOLEON." A Self-Accused Murderess at Middlesbro', EXTRAORDINARY IMPOSTURE. One of the most extraordinary cases of imposture that has come under our notice for some time has just occurred at South Stockton, where the police have been imposed upon by a young woman, who has proved herself a thorough adept in deception. On Saturday evening last one of the officers of the South Stockton force, whilst in Mandale-lane, near the town, found a young woman of rather respectable appearance, who seemed to be greatly distressed. The officer inquired what was the mat ter, but her replies were at first vague and unsatis factory. At length she told him she had taken a quantity of tincture of saffron to procure a miscar riage, and, as she really appeared to be very ill, a vehicle was procured, and she was conveyed to the police station. Here she repeated her story, and Mr. J. Lefler, surgeon, was sent for, and the drug not having been successful in effecting its pretended function, she seemed to get better slowly under medical care. In a day or two she seemed restored to good health, and she gave the people the startling intelligence that she was a murderess, having strangled and thrown the infant child into the river. She said she had been living for a week with a man at Middlesbro', who had left her, and that on the morning of last Saturday week she took her female child, aged twelve months, down to the ferry landin g a t Middlesbro', and after strangling it she threw it into the river, from the pontoon bridge. The cir cumstantial account she gave of the occurrence led everybody to believe her extraordinary statement, but no child could be found. On Thurs day she was taken before the magistrates at Yarm, charged, on her own confession, with the offence, but she was remanded. Inquiries have been made by the police as to her antecedents, and it turns out she is a well-known impostor. She gave the name of Mary Ann Taylor Ward, and that she came from Stafford, but this was untrue. She is a native of Burslem, in the Staffordshire Potteiies, and her proper name is Mary Hutton. At the Quarter Sessions, at Stafford, in October, 1863, she was convicted in the name of Mary Ann James, alias Taylor, alias Williams, of being an incorrigible rogue and vagabond, after being before convicted of a similar offence, and was then sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. She had also been found at Wolverhampton, crying in the streets, threatening to destroy herself, saying she had come from Burslem with a young man, who, after giving her a drug to procure abortion, had deserted her. On another occasion she eharged three men with having committed a rape upon her, when there was not the slightest ground for the charge. In May, 1863, she was found at Eccles hall, in Staffordshire, on a Sunday morning, when she appeared to be in such a state that a county magistrate and a magistrates' clerk were sent for out of church to take her dying depositions. In November last she was taken up at Blakenhall, Cheshire, when she pretended she had heen delivered of a child, and had thrown it into a pit, and that she had taken poison. These are only a few of her ex ploits which might be narrated. All who saw her before this information was received were so de ceived by her artless manner as to express their deepest pity for her condition. She is belie ve d t o be the same person who some time ago kept the police of four places all at one time making inqui_ ries into her pretended murders of her babes. She will no doubt be sent to prison again as a rogue and vagabond, and thus be kept for a time at least from imposing on the public. with her shameful practices. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has not been much animation. Sugars, however, have been in better request, and prices - have slightly improved. A steady demand has prevailed for tea at fully late rates, while a considerable business has been done in rice, chiefly for home consumption, at slightly higher prices. Tallow has been in more request, and prices have shown an upward tendency. BAINES V. BAINES. This was a petition presented by the wife against the husband praying for dissolution of marriage on the ground of adultery and desertion. The marriage having been proved, the following wit nesses were examined : Elizabeth Baines, the petitioner, said after she was mar ried she continued to live at her father's house. Her hus band never came to see her after her marriage for more than three weeks. He wanted her father to find a home for her, but he of course refused, and after that he only came near her when he wanted her money. She on one occasion gave him some, and after that h© went away, and she had continued to live at her father's house ever since, which was about four years. _ Ann Bettinson said she knew the respondent, who lived at Moorhouse, in Nottinghamshire, about two miles from her residence. She became acquainted with him about 4 years ago. He came to her father's house and told her he was unmarried. This witness proved the adultery against the respondent. The father of the last witness said he recollected Baines coming to see his daughter. He did not know then whe ther he was married or single, but he looked like a single man. (Laughter.) He said he wanted to become a suitor to his daughter. He remained there some hours and then left, and came again in a day or two after, during which time he (witness) discovered he was a married man. He ordered him off his land, and told him not to come there again. His lordship made a decree nisi with costs against the respondent. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY (Before Mr. Registrar Brougham.) IN RE WILSON. This bankrupt was described as a stockbroker, late of Austin-friars, and now of Crown-court, Threadneedle street, and to-day was appbinted for the dividend meeting. The accounts show debts £24,888, with assets disclosing a deficiency of £21,181. Messrs. Lawrence, Plows, and Boyer are the solicitors to the petitioner, and there is about £1,250 ready for division. IN RE PERKINS. The bankrupt was described as a licensed victualler, for merly of the Yorkshire Grey, Cheyne-walk, Chelsea, now of Brompton. The debts are only £650, and the largest creditor is Mr. Broadhead, of Cork Harbour, military store clerk, £370. The bankrupt attributes his failure to the refusal of the Earl of Cadogan to renew the lease of the Yorkshire Grey, for the goodwill and fixtures of which the bankrupt paid in April, 1862, £4OO. IN RE W. BLAKE. This bankrupt was described as a non-trader, formerly of Park-crescent, now of 28, New Styne, Brighton, and to day was appointed for considering a proposal to take the estate out of Court. The accounts show that the Marquis of Anglesea is a creditor for £33,181, for which he holds bonds and pro missory notes. Amongst the creditors who have proved aro Mr. Skinner, £18,893; and Mr. Hancock, the well ki}own jeweller, £4O. ,The total amount of the debts are about £60,0 00, but it is undei•stood that the estate will be wound up underthe provisions of the 100th section of the Bankruptcy Act. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) DOGS AND CATS-CAUTION TO LADIES SHOPPING -MORIAM V. FORBES. This was an action to recover 155., the value of a marble table top, which it was alleged that defendant's wife had broken. Plaintiff produced tho pieces of the table top, and said that upon a certain day Mrs. Forbes came into his shop and had nothing whatever to eat, but before they went out Mrs. Forbes knocked over ono of the tables and broke it. His Honour—Well, Mrs. Forbes, what do you say to this? Mr. Forbes—lt occurred in this way. I wont into the plaintiff's shop with a friend and my little dog—(a laugh) —and called for some ices, but it happened very unfortu nately that in the shop plaintiff kept a cat—{laughter)— and of course the dog flew at the cat, and the cat flew at the . dog until there was a scene of great confusion. (Laughter.) Of course E went to save my dog and plaintiff wished to save his cat, and the result being that ono of the tables was knocked over and the top broken. As this was an accident I thought I was not liable. His Honour—Oh, yes. It comes to this, that you must not take dogs, when you go out shopping, into shops where there are cats. (Laughter.) Your dog clearly had no right in the plaintiffs shop, and his cat had. Mrs. Forbes—We are obliged to keep a dog to watch our property. His Honour—But you aro not obliged to take it into the plaintiff's shop, and as the damage was caused by the in 4.ax-forcalco yutn - ang witu plamtitt's cat, you are imuio. Verdict for the plaintiff. Destruction of an Oil and Colour Warehouse by Fire. Late last night the inhabitants of Clapham were thrown into a state of the greatest excitement, in consequence of a breaking out in one of those buildings known to contain such a great quantity of combustible materials, viz., an oil, colour, and tallow warehouse. The premises in ques tion belonged to Mr. Saxby, and were situated at No. 3, Bromwell's-road, Clapham. It appears that one of the warehousemen was in the act of drawing from a can some volatile oil or spirits, when the fumes came in contact with a light, and a general ignition of the con tents of the vessel followed. It then became apparent that the whole place was likely to bo destroyed, and the customers in the shop were obliged to make preci pitate retreats. The first thing sought to be accomplished was to roll out all the gunpowder on the premises, which was successful. Owing to the quantities of oil, candles, and other equally inflammable goods on the premises, the flames spread with amazing swiftness, and from the ware house they rapidly seized upon the upper floors, lapping round the furniture of every room, and were attack ing the first floor of No. 2, next door. The local engine quickly -attended and rendered essential service in stopping the spreading of the flames in the direc tion of the contiguous houses. Had it not been for its services several other buildings unquestionably must have been reduced to ruins, for the nearest brigade station was over three miles from the scene. The necessary informa tion having been forwarded to town the engines of the brigade, and the land steamers by Shand, Mason, and Co., attended with as little delay as possible, and were set to work, the firemen labouring in an admirable manner, but they were . unable to get the flames extinguished until the warehouse and the dwelling-house were entirely consumed and some damage done to No. 2 adjoining: The total loss is very considerable. Mr. White, of the County Fire-office, and Mr. Harrisson, the assessor of losses were promptly in attendance to ascertain the amount of damage done, but as yet nothing definite can be learned. Conductor Ayes also attended with the Royal Society's escape. Another de structive fire happened on the premises of Mr. John Casey, a blacksmith, at Mile End-road, Conductor Rickett, quickly attended with the Royal Society's escape, and several en gines of the parish and Fire Brigade followed, ineitiding the land steamers by Shand, Mason and Co. Plenty of the East London Company's water having boon procured, the firemen went to work, but they were unable to get the mastery over the flames until the contents of the upper rooms were destroyed by fire, and the lower part of the building was damaged by water. Tho origin of the fire is also unknown. Fortunately the sufferer was insured. A GOLD TOWN IN NEW ZEALAND.—llokitika is extending itself. Its principal street, Russell-street, is about half a mile long, and contains 264 buildings, sub stantial and commodious places of business, where mer chants and tradesmen of all classes exercise their daily duties. A traveller, whose letter appears in the Nelson Examiner, gives a few further interesting statistics of this place. There are, it appears, no fewer than 55 hotels it; Hokitika, and two dancing saloons, but, owing to a want of the fair sex as partners, these latter are not extensively patronised. " There are 52 stores, consisting of. wholesale merchants', drapers', ironmongers', commission and ship ping agents', grocers', and fruiterers', etc., each and all apparently doing a thriving business—so much so that, owing to the late rushes to the Grey and the Totara, many of the wholesale men are completely cleaned out of stock. The butchers in this street are eight in number ; as a general rule they keep good meat and look particularly clean. There are nine shoemakers, six blacksmiths, four restaurants, three chemists, and ono portrait gallery, seven bakers, two tinsmiths, four hairdressers, two sale yards, five tobacconists, three banks -the New South Wales, Bank of New Zealand, and the Union—none of them look ing like a bank at all. In the same street there are two saddlers, two doctors, two barristers, four stationers, three jewellers, two paperhangers, two auctioneers, two tent makers, two millinery establishments, one printing-office, and these, together with about 60 tents, and shanties of various descriptions, comprise the whole of the buildings in this street, with the exception of those situated in the camp reserve."—New Zealand Examiner. TRADE OF THE COLONY OF VICTORIA.—The im ports into Melbourne in the .yeir 1865 have amounted to £8,593,224 up to the 16th of September; for the same period in 1864 they reached £9,991,627. The exports to the same date were of the value of £7,147,272 in 1865, and £8,408,500 in 1864. The Registrar-General reports the population of the colony in the middle of the year 1865 to be 616,663—viz, 354,229 males and 262,434 females. Colonel Thirion, Governor of the Palace of St. Cloud, has been named honorary Chamberlain to the Emperor, MARYLEBONE. DRUNKENNESS AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.--A respectably dressed married woman, named Elizabeth Haye, was charged with being drunk and incapable, and further charged with attempting to commit suicide. Police-constablo 221 D deposed that on the previous even ing ho saw the prisoner in a very drunken state outside a public-house and a large crowd assembled around her. She had two baskets in her possession ; one contained a bottle of port wine and a bottle of gin, the other a sheep's had and 17 large apples. He took her to the station-house. She had a .raturn ticket to Charlton. Thomas Campran, 381 A, said he placed her in the cell, and shortly after, hearing a very strange noise, ho called the inspector, who unfastened the door. They found the prisoner on the floor with a long piece of narrow linen tightly wound round her throat. They at once cut this off, and the prisoner being unconscious, the divisional sur geon was sent for, and it took him a considerable time before he could restore her. Sho had to be watched for the remainder of the night. Prisoner, in reply to the charges, said she was extremely sorry for what she had done. As to attempting hor life she did not recollect that. Mr. Yui tts.tritu ner. Prisoner hoped he would allow her to go home to Charlton to her children. Mr. Yardley said she had disgraced herself in the eyes . of her children. • Prisoner said she was ashamed of herself. Mr. Yardley asked her if he allowed her to go would she promise him not to draw the corks from the bottle. Prisoner gave the required promise, and was discharged, THAMES. ROBBERY IN A DWELLING-HOUSE.—THE CAREFUL LAND LADY.-Wm. Mooro, a man of somewhat respectable ap pearance and manners, was brought up on remand before Mr. Paget charged with stealing a watch, an Albert chain, skirt, and other property, and £ll in money, belonging to Thomas Spaul, a carpenter, of 16, Devonshire-street, Globe-fields, Stepney. The prosecutor said he lodged in the house of Mrs. Ann Jones, of 16, Devonshire-street. The prisoner took a lodging in the same house, and slept in tho same bed with him on Mondaynight. The prisoner went out before him yesterday morning. He received information in the course of the day which induced him to go home, and he then missed from a box in his room his watch, worth £7, his purse, containing 11 sovereigns, and other property. Mrs. Jones said the prisoner stated that he came from the country on Monday night, when he hired a lodging, and that he went away early yesterday morning and returned in the course of the day and said he intended to lie down on his bed. She suspected him, and when he had gone into the room and closed the door she returned and heard him breaking open a box. At last she heard a click, which was followed by the ransacking of the box, and she at once sent for the police. Nicholas Johns, a police-constable, No. 108 K, said he found all the money and property taken from the prosecu tor's box on the prisoner when he took him into custody. There was a gold ring in the house and another in the prisoner's pocket. Both were the property of Spaul. Inspector Roberts, of the K division, believed other cases of a similar description would be brought against the pri soner if he was remanded. Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner until this morning, and there being no other cases against him, the deposi tions were read, but the prisoner declined saying anything, and he was committed for trial. HORRIELB CRUELLY. —William Singer, a labourer and ostler, was brought before Mr. Paget, on a warrant, charged with torturing a horse. Mr. William Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Crueltyto Animals, saidthat in February last the prisoner was in the employ of a cowkeeper in the dis trict, and he forced a red hot iron into the body of the animal in the rear, and the animal, which was suffering excruciating tortures, was killed two days afterwards by the advice of a veterinary surgeon. A warrant was applied for and granted. The prisoner absconded, and was taken this morning by Charles Abbott, No. 322 K, and he (Mr. Love) now applied for a remand and summonses for witnesses. Mr. Paget, after consulting several Acts of Parliament and authorities, said he had no power to determine this case summarily, because more than six months had elapsed since the commission of the offence. lie discharged the prisoner. The magistrate gave a hint to Mr. Love, who immedi ately requested Abbott to take the prisoner into custody again. This was done, and the charge of malicious injury to cattle entered on a police sheet at the adjoining station house. The prisoner will be brought up again this after noon. BURNT TO DlATlL—Yesterday afternoon Mr. W. Payne, coroner for the borough of Southwark, held an inquiry at Guy's Hospital relative to the death by fire of Mrs. Henrietta Newton, aged 39 years. Mr. George Newton, 80, James-street, Borough, a master cooper, said that the deceased was his wife. On Friday last ho gave h er a sum of money to lay out at a linendraper's, and she went out for that purpose, w earing a large cr i no li ne. A t n i g ht , between 10 and 11 o'clock, upon witness going through the shop into the kitchen, he saw her in flames. She was crouching in a corner next the cupboard door, which was also burning. He had the presence of mind to take off his coat and fling it over her, and he then threw a quantity of water on his coat. She was dreadfully burnt, and was so exhausted that she could not tell how the fire originated. But the witness had no doubt that she had been trying to reach a vase on the mantleshelf, in which she kept money, after her return home from shopping, and that her large • crinoline caught fire at the grate. Mrs. Caroline Coleman, a neighbour, said that she was called in to deceased by Mr. Newton, and found her dreadfully burnt. There was a large fire in the kitchen grate, and the crinoline had evi dently thrust her dress between the bars. -The deceased refused to see a doctor, but the next morning she was taken to the hospital. Mr. G. East, house-surgeon, said that the deceased was brought into the Hospital on Saturday morn ing dreadfully burnt over the legs, arms, and lower part of the body. She died at midnight from the effect of her injuries. Tho coroner having summed up; tho jury re turned a verdict of accidental death. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SHREWSBURY MEETING —TUESDAY. There was nothing very particular in to day's card, beyond the Cup, tho other events being short Handicaps and Selling Race, interesting to those speculating on them. Convent, who could not go a yard at Liverpool, showed a liking for this course by defeating a great favourite in Vulture for the Five Soya Sweepstakes, and old Hesper and Queen of Trumps could not live with the young ones in ono of those objectionable three furlong spins that they are a little too fond of at Shrewsbury. The Battlefield Handicap was a good thing for Overture, and the Borough Members' Plate Professor Anderson, ac cording to the Liverpool running, could not lose. He won in a canter, and was bought at the hammer after the race by the Marquis of Hastings for 400 guineas. The Cup was a good race, and the pace first-rate. It was doubtful for some time which was the better favourite, Raglan or Dalby, but at last Raglan left off with a decided call, Gomera and Bradamante being also backed for some amount. The favourite made the most of the running ex cept for a short interval, when Sidewind was in front, but she was headed on entering the straight, and the two ran a good race home, Raglan, with always the best of it, win ning by half a length. The attendance was larger than on the first day. A Sweepstakes of 5 soya each, with 25 sous added, for 2-yr olds and upwards, with selling allowances. Maidens allowed 51b. About ono mile. 8 subs.

Lampoon appeared in front for a few strides, when he was headed by Convent, who, with the favourite at her girths, came on with the running into the straight, where they singled themselves out and finished the race home, Convent winning easily at last by a neck. Black Prince was a badthfrd. The winner was bought in for 210 guineas, and Captain White claimed Vulture. A. Handicap Sweepstakes of 5 sous each, for all ages.

Queen of Trumps on the left got away with a clear lead, having Hesper and the Blue Bell filly in close attendance to the distance, where the former dropped away beaten, leaving the lead with Hesper, who came on with the run ning to the stand, where Mr. Foy's filly came out and won in a canter by three lengths; Carnizette, who headed Lord Craven a short distance from home, finished a length in advance of Mr. Saxon's colt. Hesper was a bad fourth, Queen of Trumps fifth, and Knight of the Whistle sixth. Caprice and Belzoni wore the last two.

Joco, on the outside, got away in advance of Valiant and Raglan, the two entering the straight a length or two in advance of Bradamante, Bally Edmond, and Dalby, who were followed in close order by Fisherman's Daughter, Blue Mantle, Sidewind, and Windham. Approaching the distance Raglan ran past his horses, and came past the stand in advance of Valiant, who was followed by Joco, Fisher man's Daughter, and Bradamante nearly abreast. Tothese succeeded Bally Edmond, Dalby, Sidewind, Blue Mantle, Windham, and Gomera, in the order we have given them ; but on rounding the turn on the far side, Lord Westmore land's filly rushed through her horses, and on coming up sides with Bradamante and Fisherman's Daughter she hung so much as to drive the latter, whose leg she cut badly, into Bradamante, who was sent on the wrong side of the post, and his chance was in consequence extinguished. Kenyon fortunately was enabled to keep his filly straight, and before they reached the mile-post, she joined Raglan. Gomera, who had hitherto laid away in company with Windham, also, became third and fourth, close up with whom were seen Bally Edmond and Dalby. Proceeding along the bottom, the effect of the pace began to tell its tale, as the field ex hibited an extended appearance as they rounded the turn into the straight. Here the popular colours of Sidewind were clearly seen in th e van, and her success was vocifer ously proclaimed from the Stand, but shortly after she was seen to give way, and the favourite, admirably. ridden by Loates, came up on the outside ; the p g a l ir an ru di nn e T v g aw to e g y et a h n e d r to half-way in the distance, when won a good race by half a length.

COLLISION ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.—An acci dent of a serious character occurred on the Midland Railway, between Brightside and Sheffield, yesterday. The mail train from the North to Sheffield left Masbro' in the morning, and the driver found upon approaching Sheffield that a heavy goods train was in front. The rails were so greasy that the goods train could not get on, and the mail train could render no assistance. In this dilemma the two drivers agreed to work " single line," which is always a dangerous experiment. The guard of the goods train told his driver to detach his engine and go on to Sheffield, and acquaint the signal men and pointamen with the state of things. This the man did, but he then returned on the other line with his engine, in order to pilot the mail train. Unfortunately, the driver of the mail had crossed at a point behind the goods, and was coming up to Sheffield on the down line, along which the goods engine was returning. Both were going at a pretty smart rate, and neither saw the other until they were so near that a collision was unavoidable. The en gines ran into each other with groat force, and both were seriously damaged. Two of the passengers in the mail be train were hurt, one of them so much so that he had. to removed to the Sheffield Infirmary. The engines wer e complete wrecks.
