This race led to one of the most extraordinary incidents in the history of the turf. The 14 competitors were weighed out in duo time, and were despatched from the starter about five minutes before the appointed hour, but after the lot had gone about 200 yards Endsleigh assumed a clear lead of his horses, who wore separated at somewhat wide intervals. When traversing along the hill side through the furze considerable excitement and consternation was caused by several of the rearward horses pulling up and turning back, traversing certain portions of the course over again. The leaders, however, went on, Mandrake, Dr. Syntax, and Knight Errant furnishing a good race, the three passing the post in the order named, Mandrake apparently winning by a bead from Dr. Syntax. Vixen, the Lizard, Isabella, Endsleigh, and Monitress, after the first three, passed the post in the order named. After this lot, and at an interval of fully a quarter of a mile, came Pearl Driver, Julius, and llama, Mr. Brayley's horse being a couple of lengths in advance of Julius. After llama, a considerable time elapsing, came Miss Havelock, the Marquis of Hastings' mare being followed by the Maid of Masham filly, some dis tance iu advance of the Pirate Chief, who trotted past the post after the judge had quitted the box, the horse having retraced the greater part of the distance, his jockey (Killick) presuming that ho alone bad gone the right course. Two lots of numbers ware displayed on the telegraph board, those of Mandrake, Dr. Syntax, and Knight Errant being put first, and those of Pearl Diver, Julius, and Rama next. On returning to the weighing enclosure a scene of great excitement occurred, and the weighing-room was crowded to the door. Mr. Thellusson claimed the race on behalf of his horse Pirate Chief, main taining that his animal alone had gone the right course, and Mr. Brayley on behalf of Pearl Diver. The stewards of the meeting, the Marquis of Hastings, Lord Westmor land, Lord St.. Vincent, and Mr. Payne, Were immediately summoned, and the room having heencleared, the evidence 'of the starter, several of the jockeys, and the judge, was token, and, after mature consideration, the claim of Mr. Thellusson, and the fact that the judge bad left the box When Ptratq chitg PRA tliQ rogt jning aciducod, they PRIN TIN G.-TO PROPRIETORS OF NEWSPAPERS, PERIODICALS, &c.—The Print ing and Machining of Newspapers, &c., done on exceed ingly favourable terms.

The anniversary meeting was held on Friday in _ _ the Council-chamber at Guildhall, the Lord Mayor presiding. The society having, under the Fire Bri gade Acts, transferred its functions to the Metro politan Board of Works, the council gave in their report a resume of the society's operations from its establishment until the transfer. They say "Each year has shown a progress over the preceding until in 1866 the number of fire escape stations was in creased to 85 ; the brigade of conductors and in spectors to 100 ; the annual number of fires attended to 700 ; and the lives saved to 78, showing an aggre gate number to that date of 8,518 fires attended, and 1,050 lives saved ; and the original list of 400 subscribers having extended to 17,500. During the last 15 months—i.e., for the usual year's account expiring March 31, and the subsequent three months to the time of relinquishing the charge—the society's fire.escapes have attended 781 fires and saved 100 lives, making the entire number of fires attended 9,299, and 1,150 lives rescued. The committee now resign their charge, and transfer the society's plant to the Board of Works, in unimpaired efficiency,' but their finances have been so carefully husbanded to meet all accruing obligations, that the plant, which could not be replaced under an outlay of £9,000, is virtually, on behalf of the subscribers and the general public, presented to the Board of Works. The only amount the board has had to pay thereon is £1,414 2s. towards compensating such of the society's men as take the opportunity of retiring in preference to renewing their service in the new Fire Brigade. The committee have set aside £2,000 for investment as a Life Rescue Reward Fund, and a further sum of £3OO to provide for any expenses thereon, in order to secure in perpetuity the means of rewarding the brave efforts to save human life from fire, to be annually bestowed as heretofore, or as may otherwise hereafter be agreed upon. They have likewise, out of the reserve fund, compensated their secretary, Mr. S. Low, jun., whose office is abrogated by the transfer, and their two clerks, and discharged various minor claims, and they have a balance of £1,025 Os. Id. unappropriated, subject to any special directions of the meeting." The LORD MAYOR, in a brief address, spoke of the value of the society's labours, and the interest attaching to a meeting for winding up a society which had been twenty-four years in operation, during which they had been fortunate enough to save between 1,000 and 2,000 lives, or something like 90 a year on the average. On the motion of Alderman Finnis, seconded by Mr. 11. Pownall, the report was adopted. Mr. H. LLOYD, after eulogising the services of Mr. S. Low, the secretary, moved that 500 guineas be presented to him out of the balance of the reserve fund, and that the remainder of that fund be ap propriated by the committee at their discretion in augmenting the compensation awarded to the other officers of the society. Mr. BENNETT seconded this, which was carried. The rewards to those who had been successful in saving life from fire during the past fifteen months were then distributed, amounting to upwards of forty, and consisting of medals, sinall money pay ments, or testimonials on vellum. A vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor concluded the proceedings. SCIENTIFIC AND ORNAMENTAL PRESENTS.

THE WILTSHIRE PEERAGE. cy---, ~ It is known to most of oar readers that the ancient Catholic family of Scrope are endeavour ing to revive their title to the earldom of 'Wilt shire, which has long been dormant in their lineage. On this subject two letters have appeared in the daily Standard. We copy them without at all vouching for the exactness of the facts they detail : Sir, —In your law report, under the head of " The Wilts Peerage," I find that there is a claimant for this dignity in the person of Simon T. Scrope, of Danby-on-Joke, Yorkshire, Esq. All readers of history know that the earldom of Wilts was enjoyed by Sir Thomas Bullen, father of the unfor tunate Queen of Henry the Eighth. There are other facts ; however, not so well known, but which are preserved with sundry deeds and documents in my family. Therefore, at this juncture of willthe procee dings in the House of L ords, I beg you allow me to state that Ihe 1399 earldom Scrope, of WEarl iltshireof is not in abeyance. n Wiltshire, was attainted ; the earldom was, how ever, revived in the family of " Ormond," through whose representative, the Lady Margaret Butler, eldest daughter and coheiress of Thomas Earl o Ormond, it seems t o have p assed to her son, Sir Thomas Bullen—at least he was created Earl of 'Wiltshire, but never having been attainted, and dying without leaving any male heir, the earldom of Wiltshire became extinct. Not so, however, the barony of Hoo and Hastings, to which allusion is made in the same report, this barony being still in abeyance amongst the heirs general of Jeffery Millen, Lord Mayor of London (1455), and of whom my late father was the direct representative.— J O HN BULLEN, 8.A., Incumbent of St. blatthew's, Southampton. Sin, —The history of the Wiltshire (not Wilts) peerage is very curious, and it has been held Th by f ou r different families , and thrice forfeited. II in e first creation was in 1379 by King Richard ~ favour of his chief adviser, William le Scrope, second son of Henry, Lord Scrope of 11lasham. This personage is alluded to in Shakespeare's play, act ii., scene 1 : " The Earl of Wiltshire hath the realm in fann." His execution, with two other Ministers of King Richard, at Brist ol, in 1399, iii., scene 2:— i s alluded to in act ndm ecard i e —ls Bushby, i Green , and the E arl of Wiltshire cc A "Scroop.—Yea, all of them at Br . This last speaker, the loyal Sir Step brother cr p, was istol loist thseir brot h e r of the ear l, and became the elder and on l y p s e o c r o t ld i t L to o rd b e S a c r r o i j mind p i tahselladraist;incatnidonitb eitswimeen reat confusion has been made thraugh because g g th e Scropes of M asham and the Scropes of Bolton, oig losin s i g ht of the difference. Thu s, it is common for writers to state that Richard Scroop, the Arch bishop of York, who took up arms against King Henry IV., was brother of the Earl of Wiltshire, and the poet adopts this mistake in t 3, where heF First s i t t Part of K in g Henry 1V.," act i., scene is said of the prelate— " " Who bears hard his brother's death at Bristol, the Lord Scroop." But the archbishop was the second son of Richard, first Lord Scrope of Bolton (who had the famous controversy with Sir Robert Grosvenor respecting their coat armour), whose eldest son, Roger, was second Lord Scrope, of Bolton, whilst from a younger son, Sir Stephen Scrope, of Bentley, is descended the claimant to the Wiltshire peerage, Mr. Simon Scrope. William, Earl of Wiltshire, was attainted, and his title was therefore forfeited. He died without issue. It does not appear that his attainder was ever reversed. Fifty years after his death the title was revived in favour of James Butler (eldest son of James, fourth Earl of Or monde), a staunch Lancastrian, who fought at the first battle of St. Albans, 1455 ; and in act i., scene 1, third part of " King Henry VI., which opens, directly after that fight, with the principal persons recounting their deeds, the Marquis of Montague exclaims, showing his bloody sword., " And, brother, here's the Earl of Wiltshire's blood, • Whom I eneounter'd as the battles join'd." The earl was taken prisoner at Towton in 1461, executed, and, being attainted, his title was for ' fated, Jt wall next granted 15y . King Edward IV., in 1470, to a member of the great house of Stafford, John, younger son of Humphrey Stafford, Duke of Buckingham, and he was succeeded by his son, at whose death without issue the title was granted to his cousin, Henry Stafford, by King Henry VIII., but became extinct at his death for want of issue in 1523. It was conferred in 1529 upon Sir rr- omas Boleyn by his royal son-in-law, with re mainder to the heirs of his body, but as he survived his son George, the title at his death, in 1558, !came extinct. By whatever family, therefore, the earldom of Wiltshire has been enjoyed, it is clear that it became extinct, either through for feiture or in default of issue, thus shutting out any claim to it in the present day except through the favour of the Crown. With respect to the barony of 1100 and llastings, which is considered by your correspondent, the Rev. John Bullen, to be merely in abeyance among the heirs general of Sir Geoffrey Boleyn, it was conferred by letters patent in 1447, with remainder " td the heirs male of his body,' upon Sir Thomas Ho°, K.G., who • was thrice married, and by his first wife had a son, who (lied without issue ; by his second wife he had a daughter, who married the Lord Mayor, Geoffrey Boleyn ; and by a third wife Lord Ikohad three daughters ; but, as he died without surviving male issue, the title, according to the limitation, became extinct. Sir N. H. Nicolas is my authority for much of the foregoing statements.—GEOßGE RUSSELL FRENCH. THE WOOLYER7ON MURDER. On Saturday the trial of George Britten for the wilful murder of his wife at Woolverton, ou the 18th of July last, took place at Wells, before Mr. Justice Willes. The case excited the utmost inte rest in the town. At ten o'clock the prisoner was placed at the bar. He appeared calm and collected. When asked to plead, he answered, " Guilty of the act, but not of malice aforethought." The counsel for the prosecution were Mr. T. W. Saunders and Mr. Edlin ; and for the defence, Mr. Prideaux Q.C., and Mr. Folkard. Mr. Saunders stated the case, observing that it had no doubt acquired great notoriety. The prisoner formerly occupied a farm, but had latterly lived retired in a cottage at Woolverton. He was married, and had one child. Their means were but limited ; no servant was kept ; and Mrs. Britten did the domestic work, with the occasional assistance of a charwoman. Close to the cottage occupied by the prisoner was a building used by a Mr. Moger exclusively as a malt-house, to which the prisoner had no occasion to have access. On Satur day morning, June 20, a young man proceeding to his work at a very early hour was attracted by see ing smoke issuing from this malt-house, and judging that the building was on fire, he raised an alarm, and proceeded to the cottage of the prisoner to awaken him. He knocked, but received no answer ; but on throwing some pebbles at the window the prisoner appeared. He was informed of the fire; and assistance hav in g been procured, the malt-house was entered. Something attracted the notice of the people who were endeavour ing to extinguish the fire. At first it was thought to be the body of some farm animal ; but it sub sequently proved to be that of a human being ; and ultimately it was discovered to be the body of Mrs. Britten. Later in the day further investiga tion was made, and the body, although greatly burnt, was identified, and the nature of the wounds which had caused death was ascertained by Mr. P ars ons, a surgeon. It then appeared clear that the unfortunate woman had no doubt been foully mur dered, and that an effort had been made to destroy all identity by burning. The question then arose, " Who did it ?" An officer of police interrogated the prisoner and said, "Where is your wife ?" The answer was "She is not here has gone to Frame, and from t here to W e st Pennard to see her friends." Mr. Deggau asked if she had taken any thing with her, and was told she had taken a bundle of clothes. He took the prisoner to the malt-house, and pointing to the body which had bccu found, inquired if it was not, that of his wife ; and upon receiving an answer in the affirmative, he con sidered he was justified in taking him in custody to Frome. The next day the prisoner's brother in-law called to see him. Mr. Deggan did not interfere with the conversation ; but noticing a piece of paper pass, he took possession of it as in duty bound, and found that it was a confession. (This has already appeared in our cAumns.) Later in the day the prisoner asked for writing materials, which were supplied, and the narrative was then continued. This confession was a voluntary act of the prisoner ; no inducement or threat was used to make him do it ; and later on in the day he made a further statement, verbally, to Mr. Deggan, in con sequence of which a search was made, and a largo piece of lead was found. It was a formidable weapon, weighing six or seven pounds. A coroner's in quest was held on the Monday, and, of ater ad journment till Tuesday, a verdict of Wilful murder" was returned. Later on the prisoner made a further statement, accounting for the position of the body between the time of the murder and its discovery. He did not know what defence would be made by his learned friends. It might be alleged that the deed was committed under great excite ment, but that cou ld not be held as any palliation of the ctime, although the law does not usually exa ct the full penalty i f the an g er has been justly excited. The prisoner says it was done in a fit of jealousy. If the jur culd, under these circum me to they o conclusion that a verdict of s t an ces, co manslaughter met the justice of the case he should rejoice as much as any one ; but if they thought otherwise they must not shrink from their duty. In support of the foregoing statement several witnesses were called and examined, after which Mr. Saunders briefly summed up. Mr. Prideaux then addressed the Court for the prisoner, sub mitting that he had in the heat of the m oment, impulse, committed an act which, under some sudden unhappily for his wife and himself, it was impossible an to deny led to her death. Counsel concluded able speech by begging the jury to believe th at e ste ment made by the pr isoner that day that be was guilty . , but not of malice a f or ethought, and to give credit to the statement which lie bad p rev ved iouthesly m ade. The pri soner had already recei highest character from the w itnesses for the prose cutihon, but to leave no room for doubt that he had always borne an irreproachable character be would call before the jury several witnesses. Four gentlemen then severally stated that during a long number of years they bad known the prisoner as a highly respectable and very humane person. His Lordship summed up, and the jury, after con sulting a few minutes in their box, returned a ver dict of wilful murder against the prisoner. The clerk of assizes then asked him why sentence of death should not be passed upon him, to which he replied, " I have nothing to say." Silence having been proclaimed, the judge, who was deeply affected, assumed the black cap, and passed sentence of death in the usual form, and observed that he could hold out no hope that the extreme sentence of the law would not be carried out. The prisoner, who seemed to have fully antici pated his doom, then walked steadily out of the dock ; ar.d at six o'clock was conveyed in the prison van to the railway station, and thence to Taunton Gaol.

(Translated from the Gazette de la Croix of Aug. 1,1867.) TILE WIFE OF JUAREZ AND TILE UNITED STATES. We have received the following letter from Paris: -"I a former letter (see No: 160) I gave you some information about various causes, little known, of Maximilian's down fall, as also of the manna to prevent a violent end of this unfortunate Prince. This event is of so close a connec- Him with the relations amongst the European Govern ments that it is a matter of great interest to take it up whenever there is au opportunity of making known any new fact in reference to it. And as such opportunity presents itself to the to-day, I hasten to add to my former repnrts upon this affair the following: —The wife of Pre sident Juarez lived during the Imperial reign in Washing ton. A very attractive and gitted lady she was in connec tion with the leading political men of the different parties in the - United States, and had promised to those who— .be cause they foresaw a catastrophe, had endeavoured since December last year to induce the United States Govern ment, by manifestations in the press, and oven in Con gress itself —to interfere in Maximilian's behalf, to save the Prince. She has, in fact, exerted herself to the utmost of her power to arrive in Mexico before the event of the 19th of June, which might have prevented the execution, as sho exercises a great influence, not only over her hus band, but also over the Republican generals. The Liberal party in Mexico knows very well that they owe the moral and material assistance of the United States chiefly to the President Juarez's wife, and that it was mainly this lady who induced the United States and European Bank (men tioned in my List lAttnr) to a ilv.nee to the Mexican Libe 'rats the money they required to carry on the war In Washington they had great confidence in the success of the steps taken by Juarez's wife. The main point was that she could arrive in Mexico in time. I can warrant the correctness of these details, as I have just seen in the hands of Messrs. Ballot des Minthres, who aro the French gentlemen who induced all the heads of the different political parties in Washington to submit to Congress the resolution of the 20th of February, a letter, in which ono of the most. influential men of Now York describes the despair of Juarez's wife for not having been able to reach the spot before the 19th of June. That letter says, amongst other things :—" All of us here are perfectly convinced that Juarez's wife would have drawn with success her husband and his generals' attention to the dangers which will arise for the new Government from neglecting the advice of its friends, irritating public opinion in the United States, by bloody and inhuman proceedings, and consequently at the same time inducing the United States and European Bank to demand the immediate execution of the contract of May 15, 1865, by which the best resources of Mexico were given over to the United States. I wrote to you, at the time, of the existence of that treaty. Finally, I remark to-day that the 'resolution' of the 25th of February, voted by the Washington Congress, aimed at protecting not only Maxi milian, but also all foreigners, against violent measures. As many distressing rumours now exist in regard to the fate of many of them, let us hope that • they will not bo confirmed." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Although the late rumours of war have partly subsided since the article in the .2lfoniteur has been published, there still exists increased heaviness in all descriptions of se curities. The tone of the continental letters seems to in dicate that the prospects of a rupture between France and Prussia will be likely to Jiang over all the markets and to interfere with commercial operations during some months. The Monitcur, however, has tried to bring about a better feeling, and last week the official paper of Franco published the following article:—"Several French and for eign journals publish statements calculated to disturb and disquiet the affairs of commerce and industry. It is said that our international relations tend to authorise the pre sentiment of a conflict more or less removed. The_for mation of two camps and military preparations are an nounced. These reports are unfounded, and they owo their origin and diffusion only to hostile passions, inter ested speculations, or lamentable credulity. The truth is this, that the Government of the empire has no diplomatic question of a nature calculated to modify its peaceful and friendly relations with various powers. The Cabinet of Florence has already taken energetic measures to protec the Papal frontier. Tho September Convention will strictly carried out. No new camp is about to be formed either in the interior or on the frontier. The classes of 1869-1861 have all been sent back to their homes since the let of June. The active army is actually only composed of the four contingents of 1362-1865 inclusive. The contingent of 1866 will be incorporated at the end of August, but it is the intention of the Government at that time to allow the contingent of 1862 to return to their homes. The effective strength of the cavalry is considerably increased on account of the purchases made last April, but the Minister of War has determined that of these some 8,000 or 10,000 horses shall be disposed of for agricultural purposes, and this measure is now in course of execution. The Government is confident that these precise statements will dissipate the feeling of un certainty which has pervaded public opinion." There is still, however, great distrust in the public mind as to the future peace in Europe, and with the present high price of corn and the great uncertainty that exists as to the future of so many limited liability companies, it is difficult to say what is to be the extent to which the plethora in the Money Market will be carried. It acquires new dimensions every week, and will very likely end in reach ing the same large amount as at the Bank of France, and I discounts will have to be lowered even under 2 per cont. The Russian 4 per Cent. Railway Loan has been brought out for £12,000,000 in bonds of £2O, or £lOO each, at 61 per cent., or £l2 4s. for a £2O bond. Sub scriptions have been invited in London by Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co.; in Amsterdam by Messrs. Hope and Co.; and in Paris by the Comptoir d'Escompto and Messrs. nottinger and Co. The instalments extend to the 31st of March, 1868, 5 per cent. being paid on application, but subscribers may pay up all the instalments under discount at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum. A sinking fund will reimburse these bonds at par in eighty-four years by annual drawings, of which the first will tale place on the 11th of October, 1868, and the reimbursement w ill be made on the Ist of November, either in London, Paris, or Am- steidam At the adjourned meeting of the Recife and Pernam buco Railway Company, it was shown that the whole of the company's debentures only amounted to £253,850, and that they had a guarantee from the Brazilian Govern ment of £56,000 a year to pay the interest and principal if necessary. With such a guarantee it is surprising the debentures are not renewed, as they bear 7 percent., and are now offered at 95 per cent. A letter from the chairman of the Nerbudda Coal and Iron Company has been published last week, to show that the East Indian Railway was at times unable to carry their traffic on account of the largo number of coal trains requisite to coal the line, and if such was the case in 1865 and 1866, what will it be in 1886, when the length of the line opened will be nearly double what it was at the former date. It was with the object of re medying this state of affairs that the East India Railway authorities were anxious to make arrangements with the Nerbudda Coal Company for a supply of coal, and it is greatly to be regretted that the Railway Home Board should have taken the unusual course of repudiating the acts of their agent. The report of the directors at the meeting of the San Paulo Railway states that as the half-yearly accounts must henceforth bo agreed on with the Imperial Brazilian I Government before they can be finally passed on the 1 books of the company, it would b 3 n ecessary to adjourn the meeting to a future day. The board assured the pro prietors that the prospects of the company were highly encouraging, and that the traffic, w hich to the present time had been very satisfactory, -was likely to i n n d cre t a h s e e rapidly. The works remaining to be executed, a being requirements of the Governmen t Inspector, were promptly carried out, and the wh ole would, no doubt, be completed in the course of the present year.
