A sum of gold amounting to £7,000 was taken to the bullion office of the Bank of England yester day. As usual on Saturday there has been a very limited attendance in all departments of business in the Ci'y to-day. The inquiries in the discount market have been very restricted, and there is no change whatever to report, the supplies on hand being superabundant. The directors of the English and American Bank (Limited) have issued a circular announcing that a requisition has been addressed to them for the winding -up of the bank, and that a meeting will accordingly be held on the question on the 16th inst. The circumstance of a call of £5 being pro posed is the cause of the movement, but the direc tors consider a dissolution of the company would be inexpedient, because the business thus far has realised their expectations, and they are of opinion that if the call be met they will be able to do an extensive and remunerative business. From Liverpool advices report continued depres sion in the cotton market, and the late decline iu the price of the staple has largely increased the losses of holders. With the continuous deprecia tion in every description it is not surprising that failures still take place, or that the credit of the locality is at a very low ebb. The reports received to-day mention the difficulties of an establshment through the late decline, and it is apprehended that the liabilities will be extensive. At the same time the assets will not be large. The letters from Glasgow, referring to the failure of Messrs. Peter Buchanan and Co., state that it is believed there will be 20s. in the pound with a sur plus. The house was an old-established and highly respectable one, and till the last few months was supposed to be wealthy. The principal debts, it is feared, have been contracted in Manchester. The directors of the Rio de Janeiro Gas Com pany (Limited) ha ve d ec id e d t o pay an a d i nter i m dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for the half-year ended the 30th of June last. The directors of the Port Philip and Colonial Gold Mining Company have received the following telegram from their resident director, Mr. Bland, at Clunes, dated Suez, Oct. 4 August; 4,900 tons, 8 dvite• per ton ; remittances, £4,000." Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have advanced 1, to 25 27, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds are steady, at 22 23. The specie movements during the past week have bee n moderatel y act i ve. The imports have amounted to abo u t £ 2 18,485, incl u di ng £l,OOB f rom N ew York by the Persia £7,208 by the Cimbria, and £1,002 b y the China.

Th e C a l a b ar, f rom th e West Coast of Africa, has arrived with £10,376, and th e About Syria, from Alexandria, with £6,914. £9,588 in gold has been received from Por tugal, and £5,400 in silver from the Continent. The exports have been £13,816 to the East Indies and China by th e T an j ore , an d £5O O to the West Indies by the Rhone ; besides which there have been remittances to the Continent through private sources estimated at £98,787, the total amounting to I Z 113,103.

SATURDAY EVE'NING, OCFOBER 5, 1867. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ITALIAN MENDICANTS.—Bastiano Benedetto and Gitano Benedetto, two Italians, were brought be fore Mr. Knox by Hewitt and Horsford, officers of the Mendicity Society, charged with begging. Hewitt stated that he saw the prisoners in Lei cester-square, and the female prisoner was playing an organ which was drawn by a donkey, and on the organ was a placard to the following effect : " Bastian° Benedetto, by fever constrained to shift about on hands and feet, must ring the music for to call attention to his disability and want." The man was crawling about on all fours more like a dog or a monkey, being paralysed in his legs. He attracted great 'attention, and several persons gave him money, and on being searched at the police station £2 10s. 81-d. was found in his possession. In answer to the charge the man stated, in Italian, that ho was compelled to do so for his support. Harth said the prisoners had gained their living by begging, to his knowledge, for the last six months. Mr. Knox remarked that he was loth to convict the prisoners, as the man was a cripple, and should therefore discharge them on their promising not to beg again. The required promise having been given, the prisoners were then discharged, Mr. Knox ordering the placards to be destroyed. MARYLEBONE. ANOTHER BRUTAL OUTRAGE ON A CONSTABLE. —Dennis Dinnehan, a tall Irishman, was brought up on remand, charged with a brutal assault upon a police-constable whilst in the execution of his duty. Police-constable Smith, 302 S, who appeared very weak, and had his head bandaged up, said—About one o'clock he was on duty in the Leybourne-road, Kentish-town. I had occasion to speak to a prosti tute, who was behaving in a disorderly manner with a man under a railway arch. I sent the man away in one direction and the woman in the other. I had scarcely done so when the prisoner, in company of two other men, came up and asked me what the --- did I interfere with women for. I told him to go away and mind his own business, when he gave me a violent blow, and knocked me down. He ran off, and I went after him. He went into a house and brought out a pair of tongs, and gave me a tremendous blow on the back of my head, which stupefied me. Another of the men then struck me on my arms, and the third took away my staff. I fell, and the two men who have escaped kicked me on my neck, and I became senseless. If the mob had not come to his rescue he must have been killed. He was now not fit for duty. The above evidence was corroborated by wi nesses. Mr. Pain cross-examined them at some length, bu failed to shake their evidence. Mr. D'Eyncourt committed the prisoner for tria WESTMINSTER. FORTUNATE DISCOVERY.—Joseph Hurst, a man haying the appearance of a stable helper, was charged with being found concealed in a house for an unlawful purpose. There was a further com plaint against him for unlawfully possessing some property which had been recently stolen. Mr. E. J. Dimes, proprietor of the Duke of York tavern, Stockbridge-terrace, Pimlico, said that hav ing closed his house at a quarter to one that morn ing he went round the premises as usual with a lighted candle, and on looking up near the ceiling discovered a man's feet protruding from a hole. He called one of the young men to keep watch while he went up to the floor to dislodge the person whose feet be had seen, but when he got there he found the prisoner had crawled through the opening into the kitchen. He then pretended that he had gone there to sleep, but that must have been perfectly untrue, as it was a most uncomfortable position in which he was found, the hole being so stnAll that it must have been with the greatest difficulty the prisoner could squeeze himself into it. Mr. Tyrwhitt--l)o you know anything of him ? Mr. Dimes—He and two or three more have been about my house for a fortnight, and I have been keeping a sharp look-out upon them, as I strongly suspected their intentions. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Would he have access to the house from the hole where he was found ? Mr. Dimes—Yes, sir ; he had only to break a pane of glass to get into the house. Police-constable William WKenzie, 66 B When I took the prisoner he took off his coat and tried to get away. On searching him I found this belt and buckle. The keeper of the fire escape at St. Peter's, Pim lico, owned the belt. He had locked up his box, near the church, on Thursday morning, and when he returned to duty at night found it broken into, and his clothing and belt carried off. Prisoner—l bought it of a " navvio." Prisoner was remanded for a week. THAMES. REMARKABLE CASE OF SEDUCTION AND DESER TION OF AN IRISH GIRL FROM DEMERARA.--.Mr. Liddle, the assistant head constable of the East and West India Dock police, and Mr. Murphy, a Cus tom House gauger, brought a girl, named Ellen Chapman, before Mr. Benson, and said she was found wandering about the West India Dock on Wednesday night, and said she had recently come to England in the ship Racehorse, and been aban.. doned here in a very reckless manner. Some doubts of her story at first existed, but on making inquiry it was ascertained beyond dispute that a few days since she came to this country in the Racehorse from Demerara. She was an orphan, and had been seduced and abandoned. Mr. Liddle and Mr. Murphy, as well as Lieut. Sheppy, the much respected superintendent of the East and West India Dock Company's own police, had taken much interest on behalf of the girl, who was without a single relative or friend in this country, and they wished to consult the magistrate as to her disposal. The girl, by her dialect, indicated the country of her birth, and she was sunburnt by her stay in a tropical climate. She said she was only 12 years of age, but she looked two years older. She said she was a native of Ireland, and her father was a mem ber of the Irish constabulary, and was appointed a member of the police force in Demerara. He took her out with him to the colony, and he died there. She was a Roman Catholic and was placed in a con vent. Th e wife of another Irishman, named Edward Brennan, who was also in the Demerara police force, and afterwards became a storekeeper there, took her out of the convent, the Superior of which gave her up willingly. He had done what was wrong to her. The Magistrate, with some difficulty, elicited from the half-terrified girl, that Brennan had ruined her, and Mr. Murphy, in whose house the girl had been staying with his family, said she was pregnant. Mr. Benson—This girl, 12 years of age,pregnant ? Mr. Murphy—There is too much reason to fear that is the case. Mr. Liddle said the girl had been staying with his family a night and a day, and since then with Mr. Murphy and his family. In answer to other questions by Mr. Benson the girl said that on the first occasion after leaving the convent she acted as servant to Mr. and Mrs. Brennan. She returned to the convent, and after remaining there some time Brennan's wife persuaded her to leave again, and soon afterwards 'Edward Brennan effected her ruin. She made Mrs. Brennan acquainted with what her husband had done, and she said she could not help it. Mr. Brennan was always very kind to her. On reaching London in the Racehorse, on Tuesday last, Brennan took lodgings for himself, his wife, and herself at a coffee-shop near the Sailors' Home, Well-street. Mrs. Brennan and herself slept in one bed, and Brennan in another. Ile got up in the middle of the night and kicked them both out of bed, and she was compelled to leave the house. She wandered about the West India Dock, in ex pectation of finding a ship bound to Demerara, until Mr. Licldle found her on Wednesday night. Brennan had a pension for services in the police force, and he intended to return to Ireland with his wife. She was 41 days on the voyage from Demo:tara to London. Mr. Murphy said he had ascertained from. the chief mate of the Racehorse that Brennan worked his passage over in that vessel as a seaman, any I his wife and the girl were in another part of the ship. He believed that Mr. Smitton, the shipowner, who had taken a warm interest in the fate of this girl, would grant her a free passage in oue of his vessels bound to Demerara. Mr. Murphy added, ‘, We will enter into a subscription to provide her a few things." Mr. Benson inquired of the girl if she wished to return to Demerara, to which she replied in the affirmative, and said the lady superiors of the Ursu line Convent in the colony would receive her again. Mr. Benson—What, iu the state you are iu ? The Girl—Yes, sir. Mr. Benson said the case revealed a goo,: deal of vice and wickedness, and he was surprised that Mrs. Brennan had permitted the girl to live with her after she discovered the treachery of her husband. He thought the best thing that could be done for the poor girl was to send her back to Demerara, for she had neither father, nor mother, nor friends in this country. For the present the sir had better be lodged in the union-house at Poplar and he would write to Mr. Foster, the returning officer, a private note, requesting him to receive and lodge the girl for a few days, until it was decided what could be done for her. If Brennan had any clothes or other property belonging to the girl, he must restore them, and he would direct an officer to make inquiries, and endeavour to find the coffee. house where Brennan and his wife were staying. Mr. Liddle and Mr. Murphy, whose conduct is deserving of great praise, then left the court, with the friendless girl, for the purpose of taking her to the Poplar union-house. 711 E FENIAN ASSASSINATION IN BLOOMSBURY. LATEST PARTICULARS.—(THIS DAY.) Dr. Lankester, the coroner, has fixed Monday next for the commencement of his inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of Edwin M‘Donnell. The inquest will take place in the board-room of the University Hospital, but beyond the identification of the body, and the granting permission for its interment, nothing can be done, as the whole of the persons who can give evidence will be required to be in attendance at Bow -street Police-court that day, in order that the charge on which Groves now stands accused may be pro ceeded with. The Coroner has ordered a post mortem examination of the body of the deceased to be made by the surgeons of the University Hospital and that was accordingly performed this afternoon. The reward of £lOO issued by the Government for the apprehension of the person who actually fired the pistol at M'Donnell has this morning been increased to £3OO. Last night the police received information that the Feuians iu the neighbourhood of Gray's-inn lane intended an attack on the armoury of the Rifle Volunteers drilling in the grounds of the Foundling Hospital ; and such was the reliance placed on the information that 500 of the metropolitan police, fully armed, and equal to any emer gency, were kept in reserve at the Hunter street police-station until five o'clock this morning, when a great many of them were permitted to return home, but with the direction to keep themselves in readiness for instant attendance should such be required. This state of things was not confined to the one particular place we have mentioned, but the same fears were entertained with respect to the armoury of the 40th Rifle Volunteer Corps, in Gray's Inn. The autho rities adopted the most effective measures to repel such an attempt, and doubtless the timely precau tions becoming known prevented the anticipated outrage. To prevent altogether a movement of the kind this morning a large __company of the Guards marched to Gray's-iun, and uhder their protection the whole of the extensive collection of rifles and ammunition was removed for safe keeping to the Tower of Loudon. The police are making the most strenuous exer tions to discover the ramifications of Feniauism in the metropolis, and from the information they have received from quarters it would be unwise to mention there remains but little doubt of their ultimate success. FENIAN OUIRAGE IN MANCHESTE.b. MANCHESTER, Friday. This morning the case for the defence was resumed before Mr. R. Fowler at the City Police-court. Mr. Bennet called James O'Grady, who stated that he worked with the prisoner Ryan at the shop of Mr. R. Howarth, in Gaythorne. On the day of the attack on the police-van witness and Ryan worked together from nine till one o'clock, and after dinner, from two o'clock till six. Ryan was never out of witness's sight half an hour that day. John Collins, John Joyce, John Ratcliffe, Joshua Barratt, and Charles Sandford, all in the employ of Mr. Howarth, gave corroborative evidence. Mr. Roberts then called witnesses on behalf of Thomas Scalley. William Ainsworth, tailor, of Bootle-street, stated that Scalley was in his employment, and on the 18th ult. he was at work in witness's house from half past nine o'clock iu the morning till nearly 8 o'clock in the evening. Witness sat on the same board with Scalley, who was at work the whole day, with the exception of the dinner hour, botween one and two o'clock. Mary Ainsworth, wife of the last witness, gave corroborative evidence ; and a young woman named Mary Jane Wilson stated that when she called on Mrs. Ainsworth shortly after three o'clock on the day of the rescue she saw Scalley at work. She did not leave the house till half-past five o'clock, and Scalley was there all the time. On behalf of William Martin, Mr. Cottingham called Mrs. Susanna Kirby, of Varley-street, who stated that William and John Martin both lodged in her house. On the 18th ult. William Martin was at home from two o'clock till 20 minutes past four. John Martin was out at work that day. Eliza Martin ; the wife of the prisoner John Martin, was called to give evidence in behalf of Wm. Martin, but her evidence was at first refused by Mr. Fowler on the ground that the testimony of a wife in favour of a prisoner with whom her husband was jointly charged could not be accepted. The point was, however, argued at some length by Mr. Cottingham, and several cases were 'ited, the result being that Mr. Fowler consented to receive the evi dence of the witness. Her statement corroborated the evidence of the previous witness. Ellen Brickle, Ann Brook, and another witness, were also examined in support of the alibi set up on behalf of William Martin. Ambrose Lomas, timekeeper in the employment of Mr. Jeffries, of Ardwick, proved the entry of work done at Gorton by the prisoner Johnson in the time-book on the 18th ult. In cross-examina tion witness said he had at first entered the name as Rogan, having mistaken it when it was first men tioned to him by Ralph Potts. Robert Fielding, a butcher at Clayton, stated that on the 18th ult. he went to Mather and Fox ton's works at Clayton. They were coopers. Wit ness was there from about half-past twelve to half past six o'clock in the afternoon, and saw the prisoner John Martin at his work there as usual. James Heap, a grocer at Clayton, stated that he saw John Martin about two o'clock on the after noon of the 18th ult. Could not say that he saw Martin after that. Mari.iu came to witness's shop for some tobacco. Samuel Mather, of the firm of Mather and Fox ton, coopers at Clayton, stated that John Martin was in his employment, and on the 18th ult. John Martin was at work all the afternoon on witness's premises. Witness saw him there from 10 minutes to twelve to half-past six in the evening. Edward Foxton, partner of the last witness, gave corroborative evidence, as also did Matthew Kilgar ran, who said he worked in the same room as John Martin. Ilenry Crompton, druggist, of the Ash ton New-road, also gave evidence in support of the alibi set up for John Martin, Mr. Bennet then called witnesses to prove an alibi in the case of Michael Maguire. Samuel Bulman, a tailor, said he was working for Michael Maguire on the 18th ult., and saw him every hour that day. Witness worked at home, and did work for Maguire, but was past his house every half-hour from seven in the morning to eight o'clock at night. Enoch Noble, a waiter at the Grayes Inn, Smith field Market, stated that on the afternoon of the 18th ult. Michael Maguire called in at the Grapes Inn several times between one o'clock and five. In cross-examination, witness would not swear that he hal not told Police-constable Kirkland that Michael Maguire might have bean away for two or threchours on the afternoon of the 18th ult. with- out witness knowing of it. Did not know that Maguire changed his cloths at the Grapes Inn on that afternoon. Michael APLoghlan, a salesman, in the employ of the prisoner Michael Maguire, who is a clothes dealer, stated that on the afternoon of the 18th ult. he saw Maguire between the.hours of three and five, and was not out of sight for more than ten minutes. Ann Wood, wife of a tailor, said she saw the pri soner Michael Maguire four times on the afternoon of the 18th ult., at his own shop, the last occasion being about ten minutes past four. Thomas Field, a draper in 'Smithfield Market, said he was talking to Michael Maguire a good part of the afternoon of the 18th ult.: saw him at his own premises from two till half-past four o'clock. The examination was proceeding when our parcel was despatched. REMARKABLE SHAKSPERIAN DISCOVERY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—The extreme rarity of all very early editions of the poems of Shakspere is well known, but per haps of all of them, with the exception of the " Venus and Adonis" of 1593, which was the first published work of Shakspere, the rarest and mos curious is the remarkable collection of fugitive pieces called the " Passionate Pilgrim," issued surrepti tiously under the name of the great poet in the year 1599. The only copy of this tract hitherto known is that preserved in the Capell collection at Cam bridge, where it has for long been considered one of the choicest rarities in the library of Trinity College. That another copy of a work believed for a cen- tury to be unique should now be discovered is in itself a very singular occurrence, but that a beautiful and thoroughly perfect copy of it should be disin terred at this late day, bound up with an edition of " Venus and Adonis," the very existence of which has been hitherto unsuspected, may be regarded as au unprecedented event in the history of Shak sperian bibliography. The circumstances under which the discovery was made are very remarkable. No one, not even the respected owner (Sir C. Isham) of this precious volume, and of several other rare and valuable works printed about the same time, was aware of his pos sessing such literary treasures till my professional examination a few days since of the books contained in the old library at Lamport, in Northamptonshire, brought them to light. There, in a back lumber room, covered with dust and exposed to the depre dations of mice, which had already digested the contents of some of the books, and amid hundreds of old volumes of various dates and sizes, the far greater part of which are of very trifling value, I discovered a little collection of volumes contempo rary, or nearly so,with the work in question, the very sight of which would be sufficient to warm the heart of the most cold-blooded bibliomaniac. In thissamo place they had remained uncared for and unexamined for a period exceeding the " memory of the oldest inhabitant." It was impossible to ascertain why they had been banished from the large library be low stairs, which, among a considerable quantity of common and now comparatively valueless books, contains some of great rarity and value. The ma jority of these, as was shown by d)cuments which I had the privilege of examining, and many of which had the original cost prices affixed, were collected by Sir Justinian Isham, the fifth baronet, a gentle man of great literary acquirements, who built the library and altered the house in the time of George 1., it having been originally erected by John Isham, in the reign of Elizabeth, and afterwards altered and imp roved in the time of Charles I. from a design by John Webb, the son-in-law of Inigo Jones. The books now discovered were no doubt collected by a more remote possessor of the pro perty--possibly by Thomas Isham, who died in 1605, and whose grandson, John, was knighted by James I. at Whitehall ; and which latter, in the ninth year of his reign, was made Sheriff of North amptonshire, in which county he bore great sway. There is every evidence to show that the books have remained in the house from a very remote period, and that no additions of any moment have been made to the library for the last 150 years. It should be remarked, however, in extenuation of the books in question having for so many years attracted no attention, that the more precious of them being bound in the old common vellum of the period, and without lettering or any outside indica tion of their contents, would challenge no notice except from a real and curious lover of old, and to most people, uninviting-looking books. The subject of the present notice is bound in the original wrapping vellum, with strings, and with out any outside lettering ; and from its small size, for it measures only sin. by 3}in., would easily be overlooked or lost. At the end are bound two other rare tracts namely, " Epigrammes and Elegies," by I. D. and C. M. (i.e., Sir John Davies and Christopher Mirlow); and " Certaine of Ovid's Elegies," by C. Marlow, both printed at Middles borough, without date, but probably about 1596. The edition of " Venus and Adonis" I have had the good fortune to discover was printed for Wil liam Leake in 1599. In all bibliographical lists hitherto published, an edition of 1600, " printed by I. H. for John Harrison," is noticed as being in the Bodleian Library. This copy, however, has only a manuscript title page, and it was pointed out by Mr. Halliwell (Folio Shakspere, vol. 16, p. 245) that no edition bearing the date of 1600 with such an imprint could have existed, Harrison having parted with the copyright to Leake for years pre viously. It may naturally be conjectured that the Bodleia.n copy may be the,editiou of 1599 ; , but, on examining the collation given in the Cambridge Shakspere, I find, that it is not. The edition of 1599, the existence of which I have the pleasure of announcing to the public is, therefore, not only unique, but an impression hitherto unknown to all Shaksperian editors and critics. I will conclude this long epistle, for which the importance of the subject is my only excuse, by saying, and this is not the least pleasing part of my task, that the owner of this remarkable volume has done me the favour of intrusting it to my custody for a short time, during his temporary absence from home, with permission to show it to any gentleman interested in Shaksperian literature.—l remain, Sir, yours respectfully, CHARLES EDMONDS, (Of the house of Willis and Sotheran.) 136, Strand, Oct. 3. FREEZING THE BRAIN.—The great discovery that the brain of a living animal could be frozen and after wards could recover was mad() by Dr. James Arnott, who solidified the brain of a pigeon by exposing it to a freez ing mixture. Here research stopped, because with an ordinary freezing mixture it was not possible to act on individual parts of the organ ; but the importance of the discovery is not the loss ou that account. It was a marvel lous revealing. Think what it was ! Hero was a living organ of mind, a centre of power, of all guiding power, of all volition. It took in every motion of the universe to which it was exposed. It took in light and form and colour by the eye; it took in sound by the ear; sensation and substance by the touch; odour by the nostril, and taste by the mouth; it gave out, in return or response, animal motion, expres sion, all else that demonstrates a living animal. With it the animal was an animal; without it the animal was turned into a mere vegetable. And this organ, the very centre and soul of the organism, was, by mere physical experiment, for a time made dead—all its powers ice bound. And this organ again set free, received its func tions back again, and, as we know now by further observa tion, its functions unimpaired. Surely this was the disco very of a new world. —Dr. Richardson, F.R.S., in Popular Science Review, October. _ Loss OF THREE LivEs.--Yesterday morning the brig Venus, of Hartlepool, was wrecked on Lorton Sands. Three of the brig's crew were drowned. The remainder were saved by the Gerlsstcm lifeboat and a tug. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day, VICTORIA CLUB BETTING—Tins DAT. A good attendance and plenty doing. Comparing on the Cesarowitch occupied some time, but speculation was briskly pursued. In the Cesarewitch quotations Blink hoolie supplanted Honesty, the latter having by no moans a healthy appearance, while Mr. Chaplin's horse was in strong request. Lothario, Sealskin, Montgoubert, and Julius had each a strong party, and found genuine support. Etoile Filanto was quiet, but occasionally ,in_ vested on, as was Romping Girl. Owain Glyndwr was completely friendless, and the Maid of Mashain filly ap peared hopelessly knocked out. Lady Elizabeth was backed against the field for the Middle Park Plate, the only other in any request being the "dark" Lady Coventry in the Honesty stable, who, with a run, was supported for ..C3/0 CESAIIEWITCIL 100 to 15 agst Blinkhoolie (taken) 15 to 2 agat Honesty (offered, take 8 to 1) 10 to 1 agst Lothario (taken and offered) 11 to 1 agst Montgoubert (taken) 13 to 1 agst Sealskin (taken) 100 to 6 agst Arrnourer (taken and offered) 20 to 1 aget Julius (taken freely) 25 to 1 agst Thalia (offered—take 33 to 1) . 30 to 1 agst Etoile Filunte (taken and offered) 30 to 1 agst Romping Girl (taken) 33 to 1 agst King of the Fairies (taken and offered) 33 to 1 agst Guy of Warwick (taken) . 40 to 1 agst Owain Glyndwr (offered) 40 to 1 agst La Dauphine (offered) 40 to 1 agst Planet (taken) 50 to 1 aget Tormentor (taken) 50 to 1 agst Maid of Masham (offered) MIDDLE PARIS.

A general meeting of the Jockey Club will be held at Newmarket after the races on Wednesday in the Second October Meeting, for a ballot and for other business. Notices of motion.—By the Stewards : " That W. Bleak iron, Esq., be elected by open voting an honorary life member of the Stands on Newmarket Heath." The following proposal will also be submitted to the consideration of the general mooting : "As it is expedient that the old system of ropes and stakes should be abolished, the winning-posts A.F. and D.M. will be guarded by posts and rails, and as the exten sion of these rails to the present T.Y.C. and Abingdon Mile would be prejudicial to the exercising ground, the Stewards propose that in 1868 the T.Y.C. shall commence at the starting-post R.M., and end at the D.M. winning post, which is the exact distance of the present T.Y.C— viz., 5 fur. 140 yards. "By this arrangement three posts are got rid of—viz., the starting post and the two winning-posts of the present T.Y.C. ; and the D.llf. winning-past will terminate the Ditch Milo, the T.Y.C., and the Yearling Course. "Again, by abolishing the course called the first half of Ab. 11., and substituting for it the half-miles ending A.F., Ab.M., or D.M., ropes and stakos would not be required. The winning-post Ab.M. cuuld beguarded by dolls,which can be removed after the meeting." JOHN STIRS, 25, WELLINGTON-STREET, STRAND, Executes Commissions on all the races to any amount .

SIIEEP WORRYING BY FOXES.--The other morn ing, as a man was going to his work, between West Auck land and New Shildon, he noticed that all the sheep in a field on the West Throckley Farm were crowded up into one corner of the field. On looking more particularly he discovered that there was a fox amongst them, which had one of them down and was worrying it. He shouted and whistled as hard as he could to set it off them, but it would not leave until the man attempted to cross the field, when "Reynard" scampered off towards Brusselion Wood. It was found that no less than three of the sheep were so seriously bitten and torn that they had to be killed. Severn valuable.,dogs have either boon destroyed or been saved by heavy pnalties, perhaps, for the havoc the foxes have made.
