Th e f ormer has the truth as his vies, . 11 pon ; the latter prejudice, which cannot stand in the conflict. Coloured men, too, are coming forward and pleading their own cause in speeches to the people, in conventions, and in the newspapers, The elements in the South are becoming fused and plastic. They will receive a good impression. An open Bible, a free people, a free press, and a repre sentative Government, will vindicate their rower in making America peaceful, united, and prosperous. I hail, therefore, the discussions preparatory to the next Presidential election. They will promote the regeneration of the public mind, will strengthen and unite the good, weaken and disperse the evil, aid America to discern her duty and discipline, and train her for the fulfilment of, her great mission. rlie, aria, bad em- THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14, 1867.

The Times continues its interesting articles on the stage of New York by an English playgoer. No. IV. opens with an account of the Now York Theatre, which stands on the east side of the Broadway, a little below Wallack's. Formerly a church, it retains its original ecclesiastical aspect, the old square Kentish steeple, and shocks Eng lish feeling by the showy letters around the parapet, announcing the New York Theatre. It chiefly depends on pieces called " Transpontine." The melo-drama, at pro sent attracting a largo audience, is entaled " Under the Gas-light." The "Sensation" is a horrible villain, who binds a poor wretch across the rails, and the noise of the coming ,rain excites tho greatest anguish, when a woman appears as the deliverer. The house in which Madame Ristoripeiformed is the French Theatre, in a fashionable district out of the Broadway line. Madame Ristori created a furore in New York, and her return is eagerly awaited. Mr. J. Jefferson, whose Rip Van Winkle, at the Adelphi, was considered one of the finest delineations ever seen in London, is now at the New York Olympic, where he draws crowded houses. A like good fortune attends Mr. Forrest at the Broadway Theatre. In New York his best parts are con sidered to be Virginius, Richelieu, and Damon. Long-for gotten in England, "Damon and Pythias" remains an ever green in America. Tho Astor Place Opera House, now converted into the mercantile library, is still pointed out as the scene of the Macready riot, said to have emanated from the cool reception the American star met at the Princess's in Oxford-street. The writer doubts whether, with the exception of Mr. Charles Kean, then is now upon the English stage a tragedian worthy to hold a candle to Mr. Forrest. "He is not over refined, and he rather makes points than grasps entire characters. But his power is great, he is a conscientious artist, and in the New World he stands as almost the last representative of that old English school which was re garded as perfect before the age of ultra-realism began, and miniature accuracy on a miniature scale was regarded as the ultima Mule of histrionic art." Although little of the antique enters into the American element the writer ob serves :—" But English history is more loved here than it is among the most patriotic Britishers, especially that por ' tion which precedes the quarrel between the mother coun try and the colonies. To the American Queen Elizabeth and Mary Stuart are classical figures, ryresentatives of his own ancestry; and when the former brandishes the sword of Enrico Ottavo' to confront Philip 11., the claptrap is more telling in New York than it would be in London. It is the cause of the Anglo-Saxon against the Spaniard, contested before the time when the Atiglo-Saxon split up into two factions. "Richard III.," once so popular in England, has altogether dropped there, and it is pleasant to observe the zeal with which New Yorkers flock to wit ness and applaud Mr. Edwin Forrest's impersonation of the crook-backed tyrant at the Broadway Theatre. " There is all the old traditional business, executed with unfading energy and power, and the accessories are all in that old fashioned style in which every illusion, save that produced by the principal actors, is eschewed altogether. Those devices by which Mr. Charles Kean contrived to make the boards look as if they were trodden by real armies are wholly unknown, and half a dozen men-at arms, intended to represent hundreds, appeal to the imagination only, without any attempt to appear more numerous to the physical eye. As far as decorations are concerned, things are in that palmy' state of which so much is talked by veteran legitimists, but which always fails miserably when its restoration is effected." According to the writer, the adequate performance of subordinate parts is not to be found on the New York stage whore the "star" system prevails. " People go to see one principal actor, and nothing more. That the Americans love good acting there is no doubt, but they are content to find it in the one particular artist who holds the highest place. I am told, however, that my opinion on this subject would bo modified if I witnessed the per formance of a legitimate comedy by the regular company at Wallack's, whose activity will not commence till towards the end of this month. I deem it but fair to state this fact, as I fear I shall not stay long enough to ascertain whether my present impression is correct or not." "Gorgeous decorations, though not found necessary for the enjoyment of the poetical drama, are, nevertheless, highly reliehod by the Antericane; and i have already ram. tioned the instance of the fantastic drama " Black Crook," which, on the strength of scenery and dancing alone, has attracted crowds to Niblo's for more than 100 nights, and even now gives no signs of mortality. But the best scones of "Black Crook" carno from England, and generally the scenic artists of America aro not even remotely comparable to those of London. The drop scones for the most part are very crude specimens of art, nor do I anywhere find a trace of thetalent which is so conspicuous in our Boverley, Telbin, Calcott, and Fenton." The houses in New York look largo to the Londoner accustomed to those pretty little band-boxes which afford such delight in the old country, and who no longer takes for his standard the dimensions of Drury-lane. Notwith standing the success of Mr. Robertson's " Caste," the writer considers that Americans do not like the represen tations of the short comedies prevailing in the smaller London theatres ; the habits of the people oven present a serious impediment to the formation of a programme com posed of several small pieces. None of the theatres open before 8 o'clock, and they all close at 11, which would not give time for three pieces to come within the prescribed limits unless too short to be of value. At almost all the theatres on Saturday morning, performances called Ma tinees, commence at half-past two, and in Barnum's Museum there are two performances every day. " 1 may here mention," concludes the writer, in allusion to the liquor laws of the United States, a droll instaace of a dramatic joke answering a purpose which the author never intended. In Mr. Robertson's "Caste" the drunken old plebeian is advised to retire to Jersey, and there drink himself to death, reference being, of course, to the absence of Customs laws in the Channel Islands. As the privileges of these islands do not greatly occupy the mind of the Britishers, the wholesonii-counsel did not produce much effect at the Prince of Wales's ; but when the piece was brought out at the Broadway the smart American instantly applied the passage to New Jersey, and the roar was louder than at any other line of the comedy TIIE GREAT REPUBLIC GOLD AND SILVER XINING COMPANY. The bonds offered by the Great Republic Gold and Silver Mining Company have some points worth the careful attention of investors. They combine a good solid security for a high interest, with a pleas ing prospective or speculative gain, which men generally can only procure by risking the total loss of the money invested. If bonds for £lOO be given for £6O, on which 7 per cent. is payable in London, half-yearly, such an investment, if the security be good, is sufficiently attractive. But the real in ducement to take up these bonds does not lie in this. We have no hesitation in asserting that the most splendid prizes offered to the world are in the mines of Nevada. Scores of then are yielding fabulous returns for the capital employed. Whatever may be the merits of the Great Republic, it is situated in the very core of this wealthy mineral country. A celebrated mining engineer asserts that the geolo gical formation is far in favour of the Manhattan and the Peak, and the result shows that the capital ex pended, has in the space of three months given a dividend which excels the Comstock in its palmiest days. Our readers know what that dividend is. If the Great Republic can approach the mines of the Comstock—for every £lOO the investor should re ceive £5OO a year. There is no reason why this com pany should not return as good dividends. Thus the bondholders may eventually secure an enormous prize, for them is a clause in the contract offered by which they may convert their bonds into shares at any time within three years upon application to the trustees, re ceiving the shares at par. By taking up the bonds they incur no risks, but if the mine turns out to be as rich as reported the holders may drop into a prize they little anticipated. Our sources of information show it to be beyond question that the State of Nevada is WI richest silver country of the world. The Reese River district is among the most famous, and the Smoky Valley is now exciting great interest in the mining regions from its enormous wealth. Austin, the second city of the State, stands to the east of Reese River Valley, and is the rapidly4rczw.,ing..9,etrnpolia..zf the rich , mining country where it is so well placed. The direction of the hills is in parallel lines, running north and south, and the roads trending through the vallies join at Austin. The Reese River Valley, for instance, maintains a generally parallel direc tion with the Smoky Valley and that with the Ral ston Valley. The Manhattan district is situated on the eastern range of the Smoky Valley, about 75 , miles south of Austin. The road runs up the valley, passing by several mines, till it reaches Manhattan District, when a branch road joins through the Asteroid " Canon," as the vales are termed in Nevada, which road penetrates the Great Republic Gold and Silver Mining property. The whole State is healthy, the Indians few in number and quite harmless. They belong to the Shoshone tribe, and do not exceed 800, scattered over a wide area, of which Austin is the centre. Most of the ore in the country round Austin is reduced in the quartz mills of that city, of which there are seven constantly at work. As the ore increases in quantity and the more distant mines are developed mills have been erected over the district, several are in course of construction, and some completed in the Smoky Valley. The yield of silver per ton from the Austin quartz mills is from $lOO to $6OO, the average being at least, according to the last accounts, $2OO. The cost of extracting ores in that region varies widely, being dependent on the body contained in the mine and the facilities for reaching it. Ore is delivered at Austin as low as $8 to $lO per ton, and as high as $25 to $3O, averaging about $l5. From 43 ledges in the immediate neighbour hood 1,451 tons of ore were reduced during the first quarter of the present year, from which the lowest yield was $36 44c., and the highest $520 05c. per ton, the average being $170; a con siderable increase on the yield given by the ores during the preceding quarter, and showing a ten dency to increase in richness in proportion to the depth. The shipment of bullion for the first quarter of the year from Austin through public channels amounted to $389,307, which would be very largely increased if the sums conveyed through private hands were added. Labour throughout the States commands from $4 to $6 a day without board, and in the Reese River district . , where the demand is large, to develops the vast mineral wealth, it ranges even higher. The country is volcanic, hot springs abounding, emitting steam and sulphurous vapour. The plains stretch in monotonous, dry, and sage covered valleys, with parallel mountains covered with the same vegetation, and differing only in their rock formation. This changes from the strata of slate, granite, syenite, and marble, to the volcanic rocks of scoria and trachyte. The whole country through the Smoky Valley and Cbarnock's Pass, and to Hot Creek mining district, 100 miles south east from Austin, is fabulously rich in s il ver ore ; even the surface yield, in some instances, ranging fram $3,000 to $12,000 per ton. As far as explored Horn silver or native chloride of silver is the predo minating ore at the surface. The country round is the core of the very richest silver region ever dis covered. The famous mines of South America and Mexico sink into insignificance when brought into comparison. The e Mining Journal of Saturday last has the fol lowing remarks on this property :—" As observed in last week's Journal, the Great Republic Gold and Silver Mining Company have some of the most valuable mines in Nevada, and it is fully antici pated that their mines will pay dividends equal to the best in that country. That silver mines are paying, that legitimate investments may be made in them, there is no question, and the bonds of this company are offered as a safe and profitable invest ment. The arrangements for the payment of the interest upon the issue of £lOO,OOO 7 per cent. bonds is such as to secure their prompt payment ; there is also the option to the holders of converting their bonds into fully paid-up shares, at $5 to the pound, while the bonds are issued at 60 per cent., equivalent to the fully paid-up shares, costing but $3 per pound upon their value. The bondholders not only hold the entire mining property of the company, but all the machinery, reduction works, and deve lopments which are to be made from the sale of the bonds as a security for the loan." In speaking of the security, the Morning Post observes :—" The payment of each bona =s amply secured by a deed of trust, or mortgage from the company, conveying all the property the 3 r now own, or may hereafter acquire, including all 'Ole machi nery, fixtures, land, and property of eve - . 7 kind and description, which fact is fully set forth in the body of the bonds, and endorsed thereon by the trustee. There can be no risk to the investor, as the property now owned by the company free and unencumbered by any other debt is more than sufficient to pay the entire loan." The Standard says, " The company, knowing the advantage of working all their mines at the same time, have issued bonds payable in six years from their date, and drawing 7 per cent. interest, payable semi-annually, for the purpose of meeting the necessary large expense in procuring machinery and transporting the same to the mines." The following summary of the report on the lodes is given by the Mining fournal:—" The mines have been inspected and reported upon by Mr. W. M. Murray, mining engineer, and by Professor J. E. Clayton, the report of each of these gentlemen being appended to the prospectus. Mr. Murray re ports Manhattan to contain a vein of black an timonial ore five feet thick, assaying from $53.69 to $270 ; Cherokee, a vein seven feet thick, ore sulphuret of copper holding gold, assay ing $45.23 to $308.63; Choctaw, a vein 6' feet thick, sulphoid of silver, assaying $29.63 to $196.23; Seneca, a vein 15 ft. wide, ore sulphuret of silver (this vein is described as well defined, and cropping out for 1,000 feet), assaying from $63 to $372 ; and Wyoming, a vein 5 ft. thick, showing free gold, and assaying from $94.13 to $516. Mr. Murray considers that " this district when deve loped will far exceed Silver Peak, in the said county. My reasons for making this statement will be plain to all who may visit either—the geological forma tion is far in favour of the Manhattan, and the Peak, considering the capital expended, has in the space of three months given a dividend which ex cels the Comstock in its palmiest days." Professor J. E. Clayton reports that he has traced one vein that is from 6 to 15 feet thick, well defined, good true walls, and crops out boldly for about 1,000 feet in length ; he made some tests of the ore that yielded over $2OO per ton. This is a good silver bearing district, the veins contain a great deal of horn silver, and compact chloride ore in great quan tity, which can be easily extracted from these mines. The supply of wood and water is convenient, and sufficient for all practical purposes. The district is easily accessible by a good road." Our work as American journalists throws in our way information in advance of the English public on these subjects, and we are satisfied that the wealth of Nevada and some of the adjoin ing States and territories is so • enormous, the facilities by which it can be reached are so rapidly completing, that the drift of British capital cannot fail to tend soon in that direction, and those who are early in the field will, we feel sure, reap the reward of their enterprise.—Anglo-American Times. STARTLING DISCOVERY IN STAFFORD- SHIRE. An extraordinary discovery has just been made in a remote part of Staffordshire. That county at its west-south-west extremity projects out, thrusts itself by a narrow neck some half dozen miles in length by two miles in breadth at its widest part between Shropshire on the north-west and Worces tershire on the south-east, and at its west-south west it is crossed by the Severn, which at that point only touches Staffordshire on its way from Shropshire into Worcestershire. The extremity of this tract of land is a wild territory, composed chiefly of two rude coppices, belonging the one to Mr. Woodward, a Liverpool merchant, but a magistrate o€--Staffordshire, who resides at Areley Castle ; nob far off, and the other to the Earl of Dudley, and Bewdley Forest joins up to the coppices. At a remote period mining was carried on throughout the tract of land now used for the growth of underwood, but so little ar3 the traces of mining operations visible that neither Mr. Woodward nor his steward knew that there were any pit shafts in their coppice. There are, however, several there, though they are scarcely visible by reason of the thickness of the underwood, by which they are alike over grown and surrounded. One of these shafts, situate so near to the extreme west-south-west point as to be within 20 yards of the parish of Stottesden, in Shropshire, is now revealing dark deeds years ago committed. Some charcoal burners were at work there, and, wanting water, obtained it from this pit shaft, which, however, they conceived was the evidence merely of scale open workings that had once been used in the getting of coal, for they did not think that it was more than Gft. deep. The land had drained into it, and for some time thPy obtained an abundant supply. Presently, getting near to what they thought was the bottom, they brought up in their bucket a portion of the sleeve of a woman's nightdress. Searching further they brought up a guano bag, and in it the corpse of an infant, which fell to pieces when the bag was opened. The body had been wrapped in the nightgown, and to the bag a brick bad been tied. The brick also was recovered, but not the string which had tied it by which there is evidence it had been tied to the bag. The police were communicated with and an in quest opened before Mr. W. H. Philips, Deputy Coroner for that part of Staffordshire. The re mains had been submitted to Dr. Holyoake, of Kinver, and he pronounced them those of a full grown child, which had been in the water perhaps 18 months. More than this he could not say. The state of decomposition in which the body was found precluded all possibility of arriving at the cause of death. The Deputy Coroner adjourned the inquest, and ordered a further search of the pit to be made, and if necessary, the pit to be drained. Mr. Wood ward lent men to carry out the coroner's instruc tions. They had scarcely set to work before they found that their task was not only laborious, but also a most offensive one. The water was shock ingly polluted, and stimulants had to be served out frequently to keep the searchers at work. That it was so polluted they soon ascertained there was no great cause for surprise. Among a quantity of filthy animal and earthly matter in which were many branches of trees that appeared to form the bottom of the pit they raked the bones of a second infant, some of them blackened and othersblanched. This body had evidently been there a much longer ' time than the one first discovered, for not only were there no traces of flesh, but also no clothing in which the body might have been wrapped could be traced. Still prosecuting their search, portions of a third body were found deeper in the apparent bottom of the pit before described. These remains, too, were fleshless ; and they were those, Dr. Holyoake pro nounces, of a boy quite six years old. He poor fellow, there can be very little doubt, was foully murdered. His legs had been tied together about the ankles so tightly that the cord remained fast even after the flesh had all wasted away. So tightly, indeed, was the cord still fast to the bones that when the cord was held up in the middle the bones dangled securely at either end. Excepting the skull, nearly all the bones of this body were found, and they are now in the possession of Dr. Holyoake. The searchers had scarcely made the discovery of the third body Lefore they found that there were at least 14 feet of water below the apparent bottom upon which the remains described had long lain buried. Branches of trees had fallen into the pit, so large in size •and in so much profusion, that coupled with the silting of the surface drainage, and combined with the decayed animal miter-- for, in addition to the human remains described, the searchers found also the skull of a dog- —had gone to make up what at one time appeared to be a solid bottom. Effort 3 have been made to drain the tslaaft, they have been unsuccessful, and it is believed that this will not be accomplished without the help of a steam pump. That even when the 14ft., now risen to 20ft. by reason of the surface drainage having continued to pour in, has been emptied the real bottom of the shaft will be reached is open to doubt, for the - old inhabitants of Upper Areley, which is the nearest village, and is a mile and a half away, talk of the pit as having in their-child hood the reputation of being 100 yards deep. No one, however, has any recollection of the pit being in work, and the only record of mining haling been practised there is to be found in the parish books, where there is an entry of certain mines in the parish of Areley, in which the coppice is situated, being rated. The locality has always borne a bad name, be cause of the alleged lawlessness of the people who used to inhabit it either as fixed residents or as squatters; and strange tales are told of dark deeds whispered to have been done both in the coppices and in the adjoining wood. So far as the revela tions already made by the searching of this pit shaft go they would seem to be not altogether groundless. The nearest plate of abode is the Holmes Farm, about 100 yards away ; the next nearest place where people live is 300 yards off, where there are three cottages, near to the Bewdley and Cleobury Mortimer road. THE APPROACHING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. The following letter has been addressed to the Editor of the Anglo-American Times : SIR, —ln the United States all parties are ROW looking forward to the Presidential election. Can didates are being placed in the balances. The state of public sentiment and the popularity of men and measures are being discussed. Movements, now deliberate and slow, will gradually increase in power, directness, and rapidity. When the smith commences heating his iron he takes time. He thrusts it into the forge, works a little at the bellows, sprinkles a little water on the ashes, works again at the bellows, and again, as the blue flame ascends, stirs the ashes. But how changed is his course when the iron is at a white heat ! How quickly does he seize it and fling it on the anvil ! With what force, directness, and rapidity his blows descend When the iron is hot, time is power. The public mind in America is becoming warm on the Presidential question. The white heat state will be when the Conventions meet to nominate candidates for the office. Their every nerve will be strained and every effort put forth. The earlier American Presidents were chosen because they stood by the people in their struggle for independence—because they had evinced the qualifications of leaders in the day " that tried men's souls," and because they " made a nation." The non-existing party machinery of County, State, and National Conventions had not then been framed. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, after filling respectively the office of Vice-Presidents, were chosen Presidents; while Madison, Monroe, and John Quincy Adams were respectively ap pointed to the office of Secretary of State, and then elected to the highest office in the gift of the people. So that to be appointed Secretary of State then was equivalent to a nomination for the President's office at the next election. Previous to 1824 the members of Congress usually consulted together and recom mended a suitable candidate for President. This for a time was successful; but in 1824 the members of Con gress were divided. One party recommended Mr. Crawford, the other party opposed his nomination, and, owing to this division, the plan was abandoned of Congress recommending candidates. Then came the period of conventions. Party ,nominations_were made by conventions of delegates from all the States. At first they w,prked well, re flecting the will of the people. But a rule was in vented that no one should be nominated unless two thirds of the members of the convention approved of him. This enabled the minority to control the majority, and proved of immense service to the slave party. To manage the convention was to rule the country, for so strong was party discipline that whoever was nominated was certain to receive the votes of the party represented. The adoption of the two-thirds rule changed the current of events. The majority of the Democrat Convention that assembled in 1844 was pledged to support Van Buren for President. Yet by the working of the aboVe rule Polk received the nomi nation. The war with Mexico followed, and all the other evils arising from the attempt to extend slavery, including the secession and the rebellion. The rule enabled a minority to accomplish its pur pose by intrigue and indirection. Men distin guished for their ability, such as Van Buren, Cass, Wright, and Douglas, were superseded by men dis tinguished for their inability, such as Pierce and Buchanan. The rule was a weapon with which the ambitious but unsuccessful politician could strike down his more successful competitor. Strong minded men could obtain a vote of the majority, but not two-thirds of a convention, and when a division took place political nobodies were brought forward professedly to make peace and secure unity, but really to serve the slaveholders. The election of Mr. Lincoln was the result of a division in the Democratic convention in 1860. Had the convention been united and nominated Senator Douglass, the numbers and discipline of the party would have secured bis election as President. Treaties and laws are affected by the popular sentiment of the place where they are made, and this is equally true of nominating conventions. With but few exceptions the pro-slavery and slave holding Presidents were nominated by conventions meeting in the Slave States, while the anti -slavery candidates for President were, without exception, nominated in the Free States, and never by a two thirds rule, but always by a inajority vote. It may be observed that a Convention assembling in the West would be more likely to select a Western than an Eastern man as candidate, and an Eastern Convention would prefer an Eastern man. My own impressions are that if in 1860 the Repub lican Convention had met in New York instead of Illinois, Mr. Seward, an Eastern man, would have been nominated instead of Mr. Lincoln. That the people at the approaching elections will make a wise choice I fully believe. The earlier Presidents were distinguished men, but when the electors trusted to slaveholders and party machinery they were rewarded with weak Presidents. The power, however, of the next President will mate rially depend on the state of the public mind, and I think the tendency of the discussions preparatory to the election will spread knowledge, remove preju dice, promote justice, and bring all parties nearer together. At no period did the anti-slavery cause make such progress as on the eve of a Presidential election. Anti-slavery nominations were made, and the ablest speakers travelled through the North, and in their addresses reviewed the whole history of the Govern ment, and the whole influence of slavery. On such an occasion I once heard ex-Governor Slade speak five hours. It was in Vermont. There was a short intermission during the period. The people followed him in his facts and arguments with the keenest interest, and by his appeals were aroused against slavery. There are now four parties--two in the North and two in the South. In the former the Republicans and the Democrats ; in the latter the White Man's party and the Justice-to- All Party. The Republicans have a strong case ; the Democrats a weak one. The for mer will bo able to show that they are reducing to practice the principles announced in the Declaration of Independence. What can the Democrat say in opposition to this ? lie will be twice beaten, first in discussion, and then at the ballot-box. In the South, too, now, there is happily an in- PAINLESS DENTISTRY.

A. F. KINNAIRD, ESQ.'S, ELEVEN. A match was played at Eton on Saturday last, the 12th inst., between the College and an Eleven collected under the auspices of A. F. Kinnaird, Esq. Tho result was a victory for the Etonians, who obtained the only score of the day, one rouge standing to their credit at the termina tion of the match. The weather was very unfavourable, an unwholesome fog covering the ground with its dense folds, and preventing the exhibition of any energetic play on the part of the opposing sides. A few minutes after the usual hour for commencement, 12.30, the first bully was formed, from which a ball soon emerged, to be carried by the Etonians steadily down to their opponents' goal. Inch by inch and foot by foot the Collegians drove the bands of Kinnaird back to their lines, until a rouge was obtained by Carr Lloyd. The consequent bully in front of tho pole did not prove successful in reducing the goal, and the ball was carried backwards and forwards by the forward players of the two sides, until half-time was called by the umpire. The Elevens now changed goals, but no further event of importance took place, the play being most evenly balanced, and when time was up the honours of victory rested with the Etonians. The long kicking of each team was especially good, although it was at times sadly wanting in direction, which, however, may be attributed to a first appearance more than any fault of play. The most conspicuous forward players were E. Warburton and C. Tait for the Etonians, and H. C. Bonsor and A. Owen for Mr. Kinnaird's Eleven. Herewith is a list of the two sides :—Etonians—J. Sturgis (Captain), W. C. Calvert, J. Mc. C. Bunbury, ii. Homer, E. Warburton, C. Tait, C. J. Thornton, R. Palton, J. Carr-Lloyd, H. Courthope, W. Lees. M r . K innaird's Eleven—A. F. Kinnaird (Captain), C. W. Al coc k , Bonsor, S. D. Hoadlam, Quentin Hogg, B. Hope, A. Locke E. Lubbock, E. A. Owen, H. Reads. , I'UGILISM. MACE AND BALDWIN FOR TILE BELT AND 100.—The final deposit was made good in this " big" affair on Thursday night last, and the men have been putting the finishing touch to their training. Mace is as "hard as nails," and draws 12st without superfluous flesh, a heavier weight than he has ever yet fought at, which is considered in hisfavour, when pitted against a giant, six inches taller and within a pound of two stone heavier than even Jem's present weight, Baldwin also is declared by the cognoscenti lobe in the very first " fet•le," and has in addition to weight, height, and reach the great advantage of youth on his side. Still the " public running" of Mace makes him favourite at 5 to 4, and in some cases 6 to 4 has been got on the " ould 'un." A. trip by rail in a southerly direction at an hour on Tues day morning which will save many late gcers the trouble of getting up on the eventful day is decided on; and the figure" for the " pasteboard" entitling its holder to journey " there and back " is so high that intending voyagers will be secured from the intrusion of the "rough" element, and the " passage of arms" have a selection rather than a collec tion of spectators. MARCH OF AN ARMY OF RATS.—A few nights ago, a party belonging to Haddington, who had occasion to travel between Tranont and the burgh, found himself suddenly in the midst of a legion of rats, which were leisurely crossing the high road from one side to the other. The rats were too much occupied with their own concerns to pay any attention to the passer-by, who, though every moment expecting to be attacked, was allowed to move on unmolested. The rats seemed to be iu thousands, and, from the direction they were taking, appeared bound for a neighbouring stackyard, the owner of which is not likely to be benefited by their company during the winter months.—Haddington Courier.
