The experiment of holding a fiat race meeting over the Croydon Steeplechase Course was tried to-day, when the indefatigable committee were rewarded for their outlay and improvements by the inauguration of a pretty success ful meeting. Since the Spring Steeplechase fixture, when the course was in a deplorable state, an immense sum of money has been expended on drainage and levelling; but the subsoil is of such a nature that it is liable to be baked by the sun as bard as a macadamised road. To remedy this in the straight run in, the grass had been mown from the steeplechase course and strewn loosely over it, and this did a lot of good. By another year the herbage will be quite thick, and then the course will bo fully equal to any of the metropolitan grounds. The attendance was numerous though not remarkably large, and suffered materially from the fact of the meeting's clashing with the pic-nic in the vale of Wye. Tho improved ring and stand, with the saddling paddock adjacent, were numer ously patronised, and being elevated a good view of the races could bo obtained therefrom. The only drawback to the success of the meeting arose from the wearisome de lays which occurred in almost every race at the starting post, caused by the frequent breaking away of horses and the unavailing attempts of the starter to dispatch them The racing commenced at half-past one, and in conse quence of the delays before mentioned did not conclude until half-past six instead of five o'cloek. In the T wo-yr old Stakes there was some talk of an objection against the start, but the usual " fiver" not being posted nothing came of it. The racing requires no comment here, being fully described below. During the day there were frequent offers to lay against Marksman for The Grand Prix do Paris, 'Mt Mr. Merry's horse found no supporters. His offered price was sto 1.

The following letter has been forwarded to us for pub- lication:— "13, Berkeley-square, May 23. "My Lords and Gentlemen,--having seen your official answer to a request from the principal bookmakers for a new trial, owing to tho illegality of deciding a most im portant case by thevotes (A judges pecuniarily interested in the verdict, as an old member of Tattersall's Rooms I b?g to point out the numerous errors you have committed. With respect to your resolution, That a decision of tho Soiled Dove case having been already come to by a legal quorum of the committee, they cannot allow it to be re-opened,' I deny that your quorum was legal—first, because it was composed of persons some of whom had the misfortune to possess a pecuniary interest in the case ; secondly, because persons voted who did not belong to the committee. Look at your rules. Tho number of the committee is 13. When a vacancy occurs the place is to be refilled. I withdrew ; Lord Uxbridge succeeded me. By what right do Lord Vivian and Mr. Craven vote in that committee unless two vacancies have occurred of which I am in ignorance ? And again, if those gentlemen have voted on any question re lating to Soiled Dove, with heavy bets depending on the decision, is that correct according to your ideas of justice and morality ? "Your resolution continues, ' The committee cannot allow reflections such as those contained in the abovenamed letter to be cast on any members without expressing their strongest condemnation of them, whether proceeding from a member of the Jockey Club or from members of the Rooms.' This indignation and condemnation are misplaced. Lastly, you say, ' The Soiled Dove case has been decided on its merits alone, and the judgment must bo arbitrary, and will be enforced.' The resolution is null and void if Mr. Craven or Lord Vivian formed part of the committee. - "Let me remind you of what bas taken place in your de partment. In September, 1866, Mr. Devill petitioned the committee for a new trial in the Huntingdon case on the same plea which Mr. Chaplin urged in March last, that it was decided by an illegal quorum. It was refused. The question was begged, and a document signed by the Duke of Newcastle, Colonel Higgins, and Ca pt. Batchellor that, agreeing iu the dc&sion they considered it necessary to open the case. In this Soiled Dove case these three gen tlemen turned round and nullified the decision which was adverse to the pecuniary interests of two of them; but having upset the verdict, they abstained from voting on the second trial. "The last Verdict was carried by the vote of a gentleman who had bets on the race, and was not, asJ have befora shown, even" member OT %TM - rUTTIIII:Itee. "During 30 yo ors I formed one of the committee at Tat ters:in I neve: heard of a member sitting in judgment on cases when he had bets ; equally so during 46 years I have been a member of the Jockey Club. I recall to your attuu tion a circumstance worthy of your adoption—the Lou therbourg case in 1838, which came before a general meet ing of the Jockey Club. The Duke of Portland, as presi dent, ordered every member out of the room who had bets en the race. Every well-regulated mind comprehended the merits of the suggestion. "When the stewards of the Jockey Club decided that the four races won by Soiled Dove were fraudulent acts, and that the stakes, plate, or match money should be paid to the second horses, it was clear that, according to the second rule of the betting code, 'the interests of the bets are in separable with the interests of the stakes, and in cases of fraud whether any objection be made either before or after the race.' The first rule could by no possibility apply to a horse which had won four races, and might have secured the plunder either by death or by being sold to a colony. I published my opinion months ago, not anticipating the possibility of the law being set at defiance—that of course the bets must be paid, as in every other instance when the laws of racing had been violated. "Your committee adopt the policy of encouraging fraud by depriving bookmakers of their lawful field-money for the benefit of those who unconsciously or wilfully have been playing a lucrative game, backing a 3-yr old against bad 2-yr-olds in selling stakes at even weights. You state that the Soiled Dove case has been decided on its merits alone, and that your judgment must be arbitrary ; add, ' in viola tion of the rules of betting,' giving every encouragement to robbery and fraud, illegal in every particular circum stance, and, worst of all, introducing a precedent solely patronised by your committee—that persons with heavy bets depending on the issue are allowed to sit in judgment, and that Tattersall's Committee-room is the only place in the United Kingdom where suph policy is tolerated.' Under those circumstances I do not understand the possibility of refusing a new trial. —I am, my Lords and Gentlemen, yours, " H. J. Rotes. "To the Committee, Tattersall's Rooms." YACHTI,.VG. ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB. The above club opened its season yesterday with the first class cutter match, and, although there were but three yachts engaged in the race, it was rendered exceedingly interesting by the closeness of the contest throughout, and the skill displayed by those engaged in it. The Queen of the Thames had boon engaged by the club to accompany the race, and arrived at Erith with a very large party of members and friends at 11 o'clock, when the following were found at their stations : Yachts. Tons. Owners. Vindex 45 Mr. A. Duncan. Niobe 4l Mr. W. Gordon. Phryne 55 Mr. T. Groves, jun. The course sailed was from Erith to Southend and back to G►avesend. The prizes were, value £7O for the first boat, and £2O for the second, with a time allowance of 30 sec. per ton from 25 to 50 tons, and 20 sec. above it. At 11 b. 17 in. the signal wa3 given, under the direction of Mr. A. Arcodeckne, the commodore, and all started away evenly together. The Phryne and Niob . 3 both sat their mainsails at the same instant. The Phryne, which had had the weatherinost position, wont about first, followed by the Vindex and Niobe. Wind, E.S.E., but light. The Phryno first sot her topsail, next the Niobe, and then the Vindcx, and in those positions they continued throughout the distance down, b.)ard after board, in turning to wind ward, until near Southend, where th"iobe lost the second pl.ic.) by shifting her working furs balloon topsail. They rounded as follows . 11. M. R. Phryno Viudex 3 13 45 3 16 0 The wind boCamo easterly with the turn of the tide, and the ynchts.returned with a flowing sheet. As there was no limit to canvas, the Phryno directly after rounding set the nondescript sail first brought into use on the Thames last season, extending from the topmast head to the deck, and the Niobe, in additicn, sot what is termed a "ring tail," and the Vindex salt up a balloon topsail. - With these appliances they ran up quickly, and, without any change, arrived at the and of the course as udder : M.

The weather was very _ Phryno Vindox THE PUBLIC OFFICES. —The increase in the year 1866 in the number of persons employed in the public offices was 670, and the increase of salaries and expenses was £104,311. The increase was chiefly in the Post-office and the Customs. In the Inland Revenue Department there was a diminution of 11 persons awl of £25,132 ill salaries and expenses. In the Post-office Department there wan an increase of n o.lese than 00 personE,_ At the Mansion-house, yesterday, Edward De Vil!ars, the Frenchman, who s'and3 charged with being concerned with a person named Thomas Edgeley, formerly a merchant in London, in de frauding the late Leeds Bank by means of forgeries relating to a pretende 1 -company called the May dampeck .Forest Company, to a very largo amount, surrendered to undergo a furtbec examination upon that charge. . . Mr. Poland again atteud.:d to conduct the prose cution ; Mr. Sleigh appeared for the defence. Soma additional evidenco was adduce I, the effect of which appeared to be that no.concession relating to the Maydampeck Forest Company, or of any such concessions being made to ti au Cleef, the per son whose name has frequently been mentioned as the concessionaire of the supposed company, was found among the papers of the Leeds Banking Company. It appeared, however, that Edgeley himself had given a mortgage for ..£2,000 upon a private estate bolo:aging to him at Bromley-le-Bow. It was also proved that Greenland, the manager, had the entire control of the privata security of the bank. Mr. John Grant, formerly clerk to Edgeley and Co., deposed that when the various bills drawn by the suppos , l Maydtmpeck Forest Compiny were dishaaloured, ho used to go-round to the 7 -retrt- notaries to take them up,; the funds being provided by cheques drawn by .clgeley upon the Imperial Bank. After the failure - of, the - Leeds Bank, no more funds were provided to take up Such bills. In answer to a question put by Mr. Sleigh, the witness said that Mr. Watts, one of the partners of the firm, upon one occasion said that some bill were coming due and they sliQuld be ruined if they were not paid, and " Old" Greenland would kick up a row. (A. laugh.) Upon this, the witness said that upon Watts making this observation he con sented to sign a fresh bill in the name of the pri soner, to replace the bill that was coming due. Mr. Sleigh reminded the Witness that Mr. Watts, in his evidence, denied that he was present when such a transaction as he had referred to took place, but he persisted in his statement that he was stand ing by him when he signed the bill. A clerk from the London and Westminster Bank proved that neither Edgeley andCo.,Willis and Co., Teel and Co., or the Maydampeck Forrest Company kept an account at that bank. Some bills drawn by that company were paid by the London and Westminster Bank, but this was done under the advice of their correspondents, Cozens and Co., at Leeds. Susannah Dort ington, a person who was formerly in the service of Mr. Edgeley, at Tottenham, proved that the prisoner frequently used to visit Mr. Edge ley, and that he married a young lady from Edge ley's house. Mr. Sleigh inquired if the fact of the prisoner courting his sweetheart, and afterwards marrying her, was to be proved as a part of the alleged con spiracy. (A laugh.) Mr. Poland said this was all the evidence he was in a condition to bring forward, and he asked for the committal of the prisoner for conspiring with Edgeley and others to defraud the Leeds Banking Company. He also asked for his committal upon the charge of forgery. Mr. Sleigh then addressed the Lord Mayor at considerable length, and he argued that whatever might have been the nature of the transaction so far as Edgeley and some of the other .persons were concerned, that there really was no evidence against the prisoaer, and that there was nothing to show that he had any knowledge of the fraud that was contemplate 1 and carried out. The Lord Mayor, after some deliberation, said that although a frau], had in all probability been :carried out, it was clear -tirat ; tinder any dream-, stances, the prisoner was the least guilty, and, as he did not think a conviction was likely to take place, he should discharge him. THE RIVER LEA. The Royal Commissioners appointed to report as to the pollution of rivers, Mr. Rawlinson, Mr. Har rison, and Mr. Way, have just presented a report on the state of the river Lea, which was selected for early 'examination, because it chiefly supplies with water the East London district, in which there was an outbreak of cholera last summer. It appears that some unfiltered water was at that time used, but it is not now delivered in that state, and there were several local conditions calculated to produce cholera. The report states that the river Lea has been navigable from time immemorial; King Alfred is known to have visited Ware by water. The area of the watershed is about 500 square miles, the greater portion of which is a na tural filter, but in dry weather the flow is for the most part spring water. This river supplies about half the population of London with water, and the limit of supply, without the construction of exten sive storage reservoirs, has been fully sederreac. ol lution of the waters of the Le a b y sewage gral throughout its course. At Luton, three miles from its source, the depravation begins, and it goes on increasing until, whenthe river reach Ponder's end, it becomes in a great degree like an es open com mon sewer, and in the latter part of its course runs through a nuisance district, the seat of trades ex pelled beyond the limits of the better parts of the metropolis. The clerk to the Bishop Stortford Board of Guardians was frank with the Commission ; he described a plan they had lately adopted at that place which " succeeds remarkably well." When the winter floods have come, they have sent out a barge with a heavy rake to stir up all the summer's accumulations of filth, which will sometimes crop up almost to the mouth of the drains, so that, he says, " we have passed it on to our neighbours to some extent; we thought we had kept it long enough." We need not go through the Com missioners' account of the attempts made to neutralise the effect of such a vast supply of sewage. They, come to the conclusion that none of them cure ; what is required is prevention. The navigation must be maintained, but the casting of a sewage into the flowing water must be prohibited, and a conservancy board created to see the prohibition carried into effect. Fortunately, sewage can very generally throughout the Lea-basin be applied to land without difficulty by gravitation ; but when pumping is required towns may fairly be called on to adopt it. The Commissioners admit that it may not be possible to raise the quality of the water of: the lower Lea to the standard of the New River water, which is to a great extent derived from springs flowing direct from the chalk, and is most jealously guarded from pollution in ins course along an aqueduct devoted to no other purpose than that of a water carrier ; but if proper measures be a lop ted to protect the Lea from avoidable pollution, a great improvement in its purity *will b e secured. Large expenses have been incurred for' improving the water taken for domestic supply, and a fir wholesome water is obtained at Ponter's-endThe by the East London Waterworks Company.. or &stir ques ti on whether a naviga water tion ,sh?luel(,ilfboer tailmlooswoepdplty c ontinue a conduit f o os stoner: e rs r , n o d t e ro se p r o N ! , s s say the Commis isserloneus wehoicnlslidera.tion.

For some time it has been felt by many thit an institution was requirel for the education of the sons of those engaged in the Civil Servic.c of the Crown. A 1 trge ntinnl):3r of these gentlem in con sequence formed themselves into a provisional coin mitttec to promote this oltje !t, au I to collect (*mut; for carrying it out. It is calculated that the cost Of providing a suitable building for 5)) scholar 4- in cluding houses for masters, hall, chapel, &c., would. be about £40,000 ; but it was proposed to erect accommodation for 200, so that the building could be enlarged, when requisite.

Y g i e v s e t e e r ff d e a c y t to hall of the Geological Museum in jermyn-street, - 1 was largely and influenti a lly attended. - The chair was taken by the Right Hon. Earl Russell, K.G., president of the New College and ; among those present were the Right Hon. the Earl of Shaftes bury, K.G., the Right Itin. Earl Granville I' , ' the Bishop of Oxford, Mr. Milner Gibson, MT " Mr. J. Stansfeld, M.P., Sir Roderick I. Murchison, Bart., and many others. Earl GRA:WILLI: proposed the first resolution— " That it was expedient to establish a school to pro vide for the sons of civil servants a sound and liberal education on the most liberal terms, to be called the Civil Service College. He said he had been requested to move the first resolution because some of the members of the present Government, who were to have been prescnt,had been preventedfrom attending, and als . o because be had for many years been con nected with the educational department of the State. The Civil Service had of late years been much con solidated. Its members had learned to co-operate in many ways, and he thought there was no danger, but great benefit, in these co-operation. It was im possible to exaggerate the service rendered to the country by the members of the Civil Service. lle himself much enjoyed many friendships he had and Ong them. He considered the system . of exami nation had been of great value in raising the aver age character of the service. One result of these examinations was that all posts were more oven than formerly, and it was quite natural that the civil servants should be anxious to secure for their children such instruction as was proposed to be given in this college. He was glad to see that the plan proposed comprised very liberal provisions. The college was not to be confined exclusively to children of members of the Civil Service. With re gard to the price proposed, he believed it was founded on the experience of the Catholic schools. Some time ago he had had. to make inviry on be half,of a young gentleman, his, stepson, Sir John Acton, and he had been struck with the.low prices charged in the Catholic .colleges. Some of these gave a first-rate education for in per a,nnuni. The Earl of SIIAFTESIMRY seconded the resohition. Ile had no claim to speak here as a civil servant, for, though he hal served the Crown, and was still in sonic sort in its service, he was not of their body, but as one of the public at large he was deeply in terested. The public at large had a vital interest in the question. The Civil Service, as well as the Civil Service of India, had always preserved a high cha racter. They were highly esteemed all over Europe. To take one impOrtant point—when did English civil servants betray secrets ? (Cheers.) lie had heard of political agents who, after having been successful in every other Court in Europe, had been baffled in their attempts to induce English civil servants to betray their trust. (Cheers.) He was glad to have the opportunity of seconding the reso lution. _ The noble CHAIRMAN then put the resolution, which was carried unanimously amid loud ehecra. Mr. MEASON, honorary secretary, produced let ters of apology and of concurrence in the object of the meeting from the Duke of Marlborough, Lord Dalhousie, Lord Dufferin, and many others; and Mr. WOODCOCK read a letter from Sir C. E. Trevelyan highly approving of the plan proposed. The Bishop of OXFORD proposed the second reso lution, that the Right Hon. Earl Russell, K.G., be the president of the Civil Service College, and that the Duke of Marlborough, the Earls of Shrewsbury, Shaftesbury, Dalhousie, and Granville, and a long list of noblemen and gentlemen, be vice-presidents. In the course of his remarks, his lordship said he thought they ought to fight against the cram system, as those who passed in this way were not always the most efficient servants. (Applause.) He had great hopes from this movement, and he asked if they could have a more hopeful name for that of presi dent than that of Earl Russell. Sir R. I. MURCHISON secondel the resolution, which was put to the meeting by Sir lf. RYAN, and passed with loud applause. Earl RUSSELL, whose rising was the signal for loud and prolonged applause, said he accepted the responsibility of the office, because he had always felt, and had more than once expressed it in Parlia ment, that - while there are those who have all the excitement of Parliamentary debate and the reward of Parliamentary distinction, there are others who, in a different position under the Crown, really fur nish very often all the materials by which much of this distinction is obtained. (Cheers.) Mr. STANSFELD, M.P., proposed a resolution con tinuing the provisional committee, which was se conded by the Hon. G. C. TALBOT, and passed unanimously. Mr. C. WALPOLE, chairman of the committee, moved that a council should be hereafter appointed, which was duly seconded and passed. In his speech he took occasion to thank the noble earl for pre siding, and called upon the meeting to endorse his words, which they did by a tumult of applause, to which Earl RUSSELL briefly replied.
