Dancing to the choice music per formed by thoband of the Horse Guards was fully enjoyed by tke company. Madame Thompson is esteemed by the beau monde as the most refined artiste in millinery known in Loudon or Paris ; and this exemplary instance of libe rality, especially in inviting the whole of her staff of youthful female assistants from her various establishments to take part in the gay assembly, indicates that goodness of heart is blended with her singular talent. 27j f I 116 151 161 404 f 31 I 101 f f 69 03 :33 f 100 7 100 all 100 100 100 16.13.1 G 5 ITIEs. 'THE SUN, LON 1 POLICE IN TELLIGENCE. —This Day. BOW-STREET. CHARGE OP RECEIVING STOLEN GOODS AGAINST A TRADESMAN.—John Morris, a carman in the service of Messrs. Seward and Co , carriers, Cannon-street, City, and Edward Platte, a carman out of employ, were brought up on remand, charged with stealing, and Mr. Cornelius Belcham, a grocer carrying on business in Drury-lane, were charged with receiving about 5 cwt. of sugar. Ackrilcin addition to the evidence given on Saturday last, said ho had found eleven chests of tea and four empty chests, all of which had been stolen, the chests having been identified. In the bag with the sugar he found a chisel, a saw, and a long piece of iron buried in the sugar. Ile saw a large quantity of copper money in the back shop in n open box, nt.d some silver lying on the commuter, but he could not ray that Ilslcham gave either of the prisoners any money. There was som , thing which ho thought was money pass b Ammon the prisoner:, but when Belcham saw him he drew Ilk hand back. He had watched Belcham's shop for a long time, but until the present occasion he had been unable to prove any case of robbery against him. Police Sergeant 3latt !mows 6 F corroborated the evidence of Ackrell with respect to the prisoner Beleham's receiving the two bags containing the stolen sugar. When he (wit ness) entered the shop he saw Belcham withdraw his band from Platte, but he could not say whether there was any thing in it or not. Nothing was found on Platte when searched at the station. He assisted in the search of Bel cham's promises, and in a large box in the back cellar he found a large box which BAcham told him only contained empty bottles, but on examining it he found the bottles contained wine. Morris, 173, said he had made a further search of Bel cham's premises, and found concealed under a quantity of rubbish one large flour-barrel full of tea ; in another part of the shop three caddies of tea which had boon identified as stolen property. He found also 20 bottles of champagne in the cellar, and in an adjoining ono he found 30 bottles of port and 11 bottles of claret, some of which havo been identified. Mr. Richard Loomis, of Warwick-street, Pimlico, grocer, said the last isogshead of sugar delivered by Morris was 2 cwt. deficient of the weight mentioned in the invoice, It was weighed in consequence of a communication from Messrs. Seward. Austin Turner, assistant to Pratt and Son's, Lupus street, Pimlico, said Morris delivered a hogshead of sugar at their premises, from Seward's cart, which was 1 cwt. 1 quarter, and 13113. short of the proper weight. William Caplin, licensed carrier, of 113, Fenchurch - street, said —Ono day last week he was engaged to remove a quantity of boxes of tea from Beal's Wharf to Hatton garden, which, having been received, his man came back and told him ho had been robbed of the horse, the cart, and all the tea. He could not produce the man, as he had since the robbery loft his employment. One of the assistants from the house to which the tea was to be conveyed in Hatton-garden identified one of the empty chests found in Belcham's shop as one of tho'se which ought to have been delivered at their premises from Beal's wharf. The case with respect to the tea was very incomplete, and the magistrate decided to remand the case for a week. Mr. Lewis, who appeared for Belcham, applied that his client might be admitted to bail. Ho was a most respect able man, and ho was prepared with bail to any amount. The case was remanded, four sureties in £250 each being accepted for the appearance of Belcham. MARLBO ROUH-STREET. A " KISS Is THE Biso" IN HYDE PARK.—Alfred Miller, a young man, was charged with attempting to steal a watch of the value of .C 2, the property of another young man named James Warren, residing in Bloomfield-street, City. The Prosecutor said—There was a "kiss in the ring" in Hyde Park yesterday afternoon, and while looking on in the crowd the prisoner, who was behind me, took hold of my watch and chain, and tried to get my watch. I said, " What game do you call this, old man ?" and the prisoner replied, " What game—did I tread on your toes ?" I withdrew from the crowd, and the prisoner withdrew also, and came up to me again and said, "Did I tread on your toes ?" I said, " All right, that will do," and afterwards gave him into custody. The Prisoner—l am innocent. I might have pushed against him, but with no intention of stealing his watch. A constable said—l was in Hyde-park yesterday even ing, and prosecutor said that some one had attempted to steal his watch, and he pointed out the prisoner as one of them. On telling the prisoner the ;charge, he said, "Lord save your soul I never saw the man before." The pri soner gave his address in Wentworth-street, Whitechapel. The prisoner—lt's the first time I have been in trouble, I can assure your worship. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner to give the police an opportunity of seeing if be was known. SHAMEFUL CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—John Heyter, a car man, living in William-street, Lambeth, was charged be fore Mr. Knox, by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with working a horse while in a totally unfit condition. Joseph Do) , ie, officer of the society, proved seeing the defendant driving a horse attached to a cart laden with iron pipes, and on examining it he finial two large wounds on its shoulders, blackened over to hide them from public view, and the saddle pressing into them. There were several other wounds about the horse, one of them discharging. The horse was brought to the rear of the court for the magistrate's inspection, and it certainly was in a most wretched condition. Mr. Knox took the defendant's recognisance to appear again, and ordered the horse to be taken to the green yard, and the defendant's employer to be summoned by the officer of the society. THAMES. THB QUEEN OF THE TERMAGANTS.—Catherine Madden, a stout able-bodied woman, was charged with being re fractory and assaulting William Folo, the porter of the workhouse of St. George-in-the-East. 'I he prisoner is an ill-conditioned, violent, and foul mouthed woman, and has been an inmate of St. George's workhouse for some time. She has occasionally broken out into fierce paroxysms of anger, used threats to the in mates and officers, and disturbed the arrangements of the place. She has given birth to an illegitimate child in the workhouse, and cannot find the father of it. She was once committed to prison for a short time for refractory conduct, and when she came out of prison was re-admitted into the workhouse and became worse than ever. Yesterday she was making a great noise and using very bad language. She was ordered a to be removed to the refractory ward, and that task WAD entrusted to Polo. Her rage was ungovernable ; she raved, swore, and used the most odious epithets and language towards him. She kicked him several times, and when he seized her and made an attempt to remove her, she resisted with great energy and determination. Thomarm the labour master, went to the assistance of Polo, and she attempted to bite them. The porter declared that she was the Queen of the Termagants, and the most troublesome woman he ever had to deal with.

SEARCH OF PASSENGtHS' BAGGAGE FROM PRAN CE . —The following is the plan that has been sanctioned by the Lords Commissioners in dealing with the baggage of passengers arriving in England from Prance during the Paris Exhibition :—All the registered baggage to be sorted under their registered numbers, and one of each number placed on the counter. When the baggage is sorted, and and previously to the admission of the passengers, the Sur veyor of Customs will elect, at the entire diseretion, such register number as ho thinks fit for the Usual examination, placing an officer at the counter, against the packages bear ing such number. All the passengers to bo admitted toge then. Those whose numbers are not selected for opening will at once obtain their packages, on producing to the officer their baggage tickets, which will be initialled by the officer on their stating to him that their packages contain no goods liable to duty. Those whose numbers are selected will not be detained many minutes (unless they have duty to pay on cigars or spirits), as the staff of officers will be proportionate to the number. of py,ckag,es to be examined.

The personalty was sworn under £45,000. The will bears date Dec. 20, 1866, and the testator died Feb. 28 following, at his resi dence in Christ's Hospital. His will commences by leaving legacies to his late wife's family, in fulfil ment of his promise to her. He bequeaths to his widow, to whom he was but recently married, a legacy of £3,000, together with other bequests. He leaves to his daughter Jemima Weatherby, beyond all other legacies, the interest of £20,000, and at her decease the principal is to be divided amongst her children. To his sister, Marian Gilpin, he leaves an annuity of £lOO. There are legacies to his execu tors and to many of his relatives and friends. To his nephew and godson, Norcliffe Gilpin, he leaves his estate and residence at East Sheen, and appoints him residuary legatee.

He leaves to his sister, Mrs. Hill, an annuity of £2OO. Legacies are left to relatives and others, and to servants. There are bequests, to the amount of £3,700, to fifteen institutions of a religious and charitable nature, many in Leeds and others in London. The interest of the residue of his property he leaves to his brother, John Burton, and the principal thereof, after his decease, to be divided into six parts, mostly to the issue of his said brother. Mrs. Mary Ann Smith, whose personal estate was sworn under £40,000, has bexteathed £l,OOO to each of the following institutions : the Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Society, the National Life boat Institution, Infant Orphan Asylum, Wan stead ; Fever Hospital, Royal Free Hospital, Sama ritan Free Hospital, and the Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals. The Scotch confirmation or testamentary trust disposition of the late Alex. Maxwell, Esq., has been sealed in the London Probate Court. The perso nalty was estimated for duty as under £150,000. The wills of the undermentioned have been re cently proved :—the Dowager Lady Mary Haugh ten Fielden, under £B,OOO personalty; William T. Mackrell, £90,000 ; George Robinson, £60,000 ; the Rev.

When O'Brien heard the sentence read, followed with the stern " Strip, sir 1" of the commanding officer, he made but one remark as he began to take off his clothes : "I would far rather they shot me. lam now a disgraced man for ever." In a moment he was naked to the waist, ti e d f ir mly to the triangles , and here began the brutally disgusting sc ene which so many of us have witnessed in the olden tim e, and the bad remnant of which so many hon. members of Parliament, and so many gallant but thick headed officers of the army, are doing their utmost to retain. I will not describe what a punishment parade was in the days when 300 lashes could be administered. Standing by the triangles, as is the invariable rule, was the surgeon of the regiment, in order to see that beyond what the culprit could bear, without material injury to his health, not a single lash was inflicted. Four or five times the man asked for water, on the ground that he felt faint ; and the drum-major had always the tin-pot ready to give him. He took his whole punishment-300 lashes laid on with the regulation "cat of nine tails," the flogger being changed at every 25 strokes. lie was then untied, and, a great-coat being thrown over his bleeding back, he was taken to the regi mental hospital to undergo medical treatment. In three weeks or so he was clear of the doctor's hands, and rejoined his company. Previous to his punish ment he had been one of the tmartest dud soberest men in the regiment, but he now became the very reverse. The colour -sergeant of his com pany told me that before he was flogged he hardly ever tasted a glass of spirits, but that afterwards he was hardly ever sober. He always declared that he bad been condemned on false evidence, but he never was heard to say who was the real culprit. From being often drunk when off duty ho gradually got such a mania for liquor that ho was reported more than once drunk for guard, and, being insolent ou one occasion to the corporal who reported him, was tried by a regimental court-martial, and sentenced to receive 150 lashes, which were duly administered. To make a long story short, I watched the man for some time, and more than once attempted to give him a little advice, though, unfortunately, in the English service the most ordinary intercourse or conversation between officer and soldier is strictly against the spirit, if not the letter, of the law. But whenever I remonstrated with him I got the same reply, " I am a disgraced man now, sir, I never cAn hold up my head again, and the sooner 1 drink myself dead the better.'' For some time, having been on leave of absence at Simla, and not belonging to the same company as O'Brien, I lost sight of him, until, as orderly officer, going my rounds in the hospital, I recognised him in one of the sick beds. I stopped and spoke to him. He told me he had been sent to hospital for delirium tremens, brought on by hard drinking, to which was added a bad attack of brain fever, caused by exposure to the sun for several hours when helplessly drunk in a native village, whither he had gone to buy the cheap spirits which are sold by the Hindoos in the neighbour hood of all English stations—" bazaar liquor," as it is called in India. The man seemed very weak indeed, as well as dreadfully emaciated in appear ance, an d the hospital sergeant told me that the G. APRIL 20, 1867. surgeon did not believe he would ever leave the ward alive. The prophecy was too true. In less than a week after I had seen him an order appeared in the regimental order-book intimating that he was dead.—Dickens's " 411 the Year Round." Theatrical .Prospects for Easter. The same respect is hardly paid nowadays to Easter by theatrical managers that used to be paid in the olden time. Burlesques and extravaganzas were wont to be r. served expressly for the season after Passion Week, just as pantomimes were kept, particularly for Christmas. The season is now out of joint, and commands no eipccia.l regard. In but few theatres notes of preparation are sounding for some production about to honour the holidays in a marked degree. The manager at Drury Lane is un doubtedly eager with his new drama, " The Great City ;" but Mr. Chatterton's new offering in volves no honour to Easter ; it exposes no holi day specialty ; it has no seasonable inference ; it might as well have been brought out in thr dog-days, in the autumn, in the period pre ceding Christmas. As a drama abstractedly consi dered, we hear from many quarters the best ac counts of the Drury-lane piece. Mr. F. B. Chat terton, an excellent judge and of large experience, confidently reckons on a great success that will carry him on triumphantly to the end of the season. Everything is being done for the new play that could possibly conduce to success and a prosperous career. We know what Mr. Chatterton has effected for " Macbeth," " King John," " Faust," and other works. Why should he not carry his energies, his experience, his liberality, his judgment into an original production ? Of Mr. Halliday's drama we know nothing. It is a tale of London life, and that the name tells us. We shall have much to siy of the new play at Drury-lane on Monday night. The HAYMARKET THEATRE has provided itself with a new Piece for Easter, if not exactly a new Easter pieee. The distinction is patent. The new piece is entitled " A Wild Goose," and has been written with an eye to Mr. Sothern'speculiar talents. Of course there is a part for Mr. Buckstone, as there should be in every play in which Mr. Sothern appears. It is unpardonable to separate two such actors. We have no idea to what the new piece relates, or on what it is founded. The first per formance had been announced for to-night, but the bills inform us that the continued success of Mrs. Scott Siddons, the new stage enchantress, in the character of Rosalind in " As You Like it," neces sitated engaging her for th r ee nights more, which entailed the putting off of the new drama till Wed nesday. The LYCEUM THEATRE is satisfied with the large amount of patronage bestowed on "The Duke's Motto," with its strong cast (Mr. Fechter principal), its stirring scenes, its powerful incidents, its excit ing denouement, and makes no now sign dramati cally. A new divertissement, however, is announced to follow " The Duke's Motto" on Monday. It is entitled " The Satyr," and will be supported by the well-known Spanish dancer, M. Espinosa, his first appearance in London these five years, Mdlle. Sophie, and the ladies of the corps de ballet. The NEW HOLBORN THEATRE is precisely in the same predicament with the Lyceum, if predicament it may be called where there is nothing to fear. Mr. Boucicault's racing drama is likely to run out this year's Derby, if indeed it do not spin on to the Doncaster St. Leger in September. The drama of " Flying Scud" has surpassed the expectations of author, manager, actors, and public. Its success at this moment indicates no falling off from the first week of its production. At the STRAND THEATRE the Easter attraction will be a new and original classical extravaganza, written by Mr. IVilliam Brough, entitled " Pygma lion ; or, the Statue Fair." The story of the pie& having been told to ourselves, may be told to our readers- -Pygmalion, the celebrated sculptor, having conceived an aversion to the female sex, has sworn never to fall iu love. This determination angers Venus. She commands her son Cupid instantly to make Pygmalion fall in love, which task Cupid fulfils by wounding the sculptor while asleep with a charmed arrow, that has the power of making him fall in love with the first female form that meets his eyes-when he awakes. The first female form he sees is that of a beauteous marble statue he is at work upon, and with this statue, in obedience to the spell, falls in love at once, though knowing well the exquisite creature is but stone of his own cutting. The burlesque abounds with songs, dauccs, _ _ farcical situations, &c. The: scenery is by Mr. C. Fenton, and the music composed and arranged by Mr. Frank Musgrave. At the OLYMPIC THEATRE Raster is intended to be honoured by the production of a grand new my thological burlesque, by Mr. F. C. Burnand, en titled "Olympic Games," with new scenery, dresses, &c. In consequence of the great success of " The Liar," with Mr. Charles Mathews as Jack Wilding, the new comedy is for the present postponed. • The ADELPHI THEATRE makes the usual concessions to the holiday period. On Easter Monday will be produced a new and original musical drama, in one act, called " Garibaldi in Sicily," the music from the combined forces of Messrs. J. L. Hatton and J. G. Callcott, in which the popular songstress Miss Constance Roden will appear. We may state en passant that Mr. J. Clarke, of the Prince of Wales's Theatre, will make his first appearance this evening in a new farce, entitled " A Fretful Porcupine." The PRINCE OF WALES'S THEATRE and the NEW ROYALTY THEATRE both abide by the performances which have already engaged and enchained public attention. The former rests satisfied with the new comedy of " Caste" and the farce of a " Quiet Family ;" the latter cries content with the success ful drama of " Meg's Diversion" and " The Latest Edition of Black-Eyed Susan." SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE opens this evening for the summer season, under the management of Mr. W. H. Swanborough, with the popul ar d r ama of " Rip Van ninkle, a Grand Fairy Ballet, and the celebrated Strand burlesque of "Aladdin; or, the Wonderful. Scamp." The SURREY THEATRE reopens this evening, with the highly successful drama of " Time and Tide." MARKET B.—This day. COVENT GARDEN.

KELLEY.—On behalf of Chambers, Mr Blakey deposited the fourth required sum of £25 yester day, making now down .£lOO a-side for this important contest. As was expected, Chambers' new boat, from the shed of. Messrs. Clasper, Bain, and Clasper, ar rived per steamer on the Tyne yesterday. After breakfast Chambers took a preliminary canter, to test her capabilities, and so satisfied was he that all was right, that in the afternoon he took a spin from the boathouse to the High Level Bridge, and thence to the Meadows house to his training quarters. Tha skiff is of the usual dimensions, but her benranees aro so placed that .iha carries the champion without a fault; and although the:water was "lumpy" Chambers tipped the waves in n manner that botokens hard work is his forte. Kelley's eol,iurs have arrived and refl. , et great credit on his taste. cht3 handkerchief is of immense dimensions, white in the centre. A brow' blue border encircles it, and each comer is set with en elegant device of a rose. ChamborA's colours An yet have not arrived, but in the meantime Kelley's colours can be seen at Messrs. Baird's and Blakey's. No betting. Chambers took good exercise on the river yesterday, and his remarkab'y good -condition inspires his friend:l with great hopes of success. His present weight is nearly 12 stone, but as his iron constitution will admit of any amount of work, there is no doubt, if all goes right with him, somewhere about list 81b will be his weight on the day of the race. Lately he has been practising in the Ade laide skiff, and a boat built expressly for him by H. Clasper, but J. li. Clasper and R. Bain, of London, hale built him another, which will arrive in the Tyno on Monday. From a private source yesterday we hear that Kelley is quite up to the mark, and equally confident. lie will probably row in a new boat by Jewett, and, if all keeps right, in a week ho will take his airings on the Tyno. Taylor is all that can be required. He occasionally takes spins with the champion, and both are located at Mr. Brown's hotel, Blenheim House, under the superintendence of Mr. Moffit. Young Chambers seems determined not to lose a point, and takes his daily . exercise from Percy's boat-house. Bright also does not neglect to use his utmost exertions. He is occasionally attended by Mr. J. Hall, and may generally be seen to put off on his trials from his trainer's boat-lpuse, Elswick. There are several other matches made of minor importance, which we will notice in due time, and everything augurs well for a busy and successful season, not only for boat rowers, but also for boat builders. Clasper has as much work as will serve him for some time, and Jewett has plenty of orders, and James Hall has satisfied the clubs so much that, independent of putting the T.A.B.C. and the Albion boats in working order, the former club are going to augment their number by four boats, and the latter by two boats, the whole to be from the shed of this' enterprising builder and repairer. Percy is also not behind hand, and every day the hammer is heard in his shed either building new boats or repairing others for actual use. Cooper's match with Sadler is now definitely settled to come off on the Thames on the 22d of June, consequently the Redheugh hero will soon be up and doing. Percy is still taking his . breathings on the Wansbeck, but will soon resume his doings on the Tyne early next week. J. ►SADLER AND R. COOPER—The following are , the articles of this great match. It will be See that the race is fixed to take place on the Thames on Saturday, June 22 : " Articles of agreement dated this day Wednesday, April 3, 1867, between Joseph Sadler, of Putney, and Robert Cooper, of Newcastle, who hereby agree to row a right away scullers' race, from putney to Mortlake (the champion course), on Saturday, June 22, 1867, for £2OO a-side, Cooper to receive £2O for expenses to row on the Thames. Tho first deposit of £5O a-side now made ; the second deposit of £5O a-side to be made on the 13th of May to the editor of the Sportsman, who is to be final stakeholder; and the last deposit of £lOO a-side to be made on the 17th of June. The referee to be named the week before the race. The match to be rowed according to the recognised laws of boat racing. The men to be at their stat ions one hour before high water, and the cutters accompanying the race to keep astern of the sternmost man. Either party failing to comply with conditions to forfeit the money down. In the event of Mr. C. Bush naming R. Cooper as the Unknown for the previous match with Sadler, this match to be off.—(Signed) Charles Bush for R. Cooper. (Signed) Wm. D. Foster for Sadler. Witness, G. Drewitt." The boat in which Sadler is to row Cooper, and also "The Unknown,' has just been finished by the celebrated boat building firm of Clasper, Bath, and Clasper, Lambeth and Westminster. We understand the above firm have also just completed a very nice specimen of the outrigger, in which Hickey, of Australia, is to row against the renowned Green for the championship of that colony. She is 31 feet 11 inches in length ; beam, 11 inches, and weighs 221bs. The boat will leave Lambeth for her destination► on Wed nesday next. THE SALMON FISHERIES. It was stated in the newspapers a few days ago that the proprietors of fixed engines for the cap ture of Salmon on the Scotch si.le of. the Solway Ffrilt had received summonses to attend tlVe in quiry held at Carlisle by the Special Salmon Fisheries Commission, and support their claims ; but that, subsequently, intimation had been sent to the proprietors that their presence would not be required at Carlisle. In the course of the in quiry held in that city during the past week the question of the jurisdiction of the English Fishery Commissioners over the stake nets in the Solway on Scottish territory was raised, and on Thursday the Chief Commissioner (Mr. Paterson) gave judgment upon the point, which is one of considerable im portance as affecting a vast quantity of fixed engines. He said :--" The present state of the law seems to be this. The rivers on both sides of the Solway and the Solway itself were up to 1861 regulated by the Solway Fisheries Act which passed in 1801. In 1861 the English Salmon Fisheries Act repealed the Solway Act as to the English side and so far as respects salmon; and the effect of that was to put the English side of the Solway on the same footing as the rest of Eng land. Then the Scotch Salmon Fisheries Act of 1832, section 33, without repealing the Solway Act in other respects, applied the English Act to the Scotch side, so far as its provisions relate to the use of fixed engines. Now, that is to be read as relating only to the future use of such fixed engines its may have been legal before that date, as well as the future use of fixed engines to be set 4' for the first time after that date. But there was nothing in the Scotch Act of 1862 to the eff ect that English law would in any manner determine the legality of the fixed engines previously in use on the Scotch side, or that the Scotch law on that subject was abrogated or re pealed. Then came the English Act of 1865, which gave the commissioners jurisdiction to inquire into the legality of all fixed engines throughout the limits of the previous English Act of 1861—that is to say, throughout England. No jurisdiction was expressly given to inquire into the legality of any engine situated in Scotland, and the appeal was only to the English Courts of VVestminster. it is true that the English Act of 1866 contained also an enactment (section 63) that the river Esk with its tributaries shall be deemed to be within the limits of the English Acts of 1861 and 1865. Now, the Esk is only a Scotch river near its source, after which it becomes entirely English, and it does not again become Scotch except for about five miles on one side—namely, from where it passes the Sark till it joins the Eden. But the above enactment (the Sti section) of the English Act of 1865 only im ports English law into the Scotch parts of the Esk so far as relates to such offences as may be committed with reb2ect to salmon, to trout, and such matters.. It does Dot import into Scotland either the English law relating to the legality of the fixed engines, or the jurisdiction of the English commissioners, who were to decide thtt legality. And this construction of the Acts is confirmed by the important circumstance that there is no proYi sion for any appeal from the commissioners' decisiog to any court except an English court. Now, if power had been given to the English commissioners to try the legality of engines situated in Scotland, it is obvious that they must necessarily have applied Scotch law only to that question. But in that case also an appeal would naturally have been made to Court of Session in Scotland, and not to the English courts at Westminstcr,whereas there is no such pro vision. For these rear...l)ns we have no doubt that the late statutes have not conferred upon us the power to decide the legality of any fixed engines for catching salmon, which are situated in Scotland. As this state of things, however, may lea d to most ano malous results, and create a just grievance on the English side of the Solway, all we can do is to re port the circumstance with our o pinion to H the ome Secretary, who may for g reater certaintyfprtohbealbalwy consider it proper to ta ke the opinion o The Commissioners have now concluded their inquiry t a h t Carlisle, but they have zeserved till next mon . ande x e except a t r i l e y i c c o k oy h s a n t th he e ir ri d v e e c r is E io d n e s n u a p t ot e i oalrlbtyhec caassteles which they have pronounced legal, order iing, l how ever, some slight alte rations to be made n them to facilate the passage of salmon, SPORTING INTEL LIGENOE—nis DAP. VICTORIA CLUB BaTING.---(Tms DAY.) Some startling changes took place ; Hermit, who was reported to have been scratched for the. " Guineas " during the morning, receded 'Ca almost any price, and was equally friendless for the Derby. Plaudit was in immense demwad, but Julius appeared out of favour. Marksman was in good request, and Vauban was supported, but appeared more in favour for a place. The Derby , movements were not remarkable, but for the Chests Cup some striking changes took place. Archimed,a., said to have broken down, was " knocked out," and. .yid to 1 would not tempt a customer. Bracken also, 'to day, w•ts friendless at 50 to 1. There were ef4n missions out hi favour of both Lucifer and. Tor mentor, who were each in demand, and Harrogate was suppo:ted in good quarters.

A real silk flag was then displayed and directions given to some men connected with the meeting to parade the park and bring in the stragglers before proceedings com menced. This party started with a tail composed of about 30 men and boys, and returned with none. This so disconcerted what perhaps in courtesy should be called the committee that they indulged in some very uncomplimentary expressions to the members of the flag procession. At last the proceedings com menced with between 200 and 300 present, more than half of whom were evidently attracted through mere curiosity. A Mr. Henwood was voted in the chair, and in moving the first resolution he stated that their platform was that of the Reform League. lie also advocated the right of the people to meet in the parks, and laid the people meant to meet peace ' ably, and not be driven into rebellion, as the Tories wished to drive them. A 'Mr. Longmead then moved the first resolution—" That the parks are the people's, and we hereby claim the use of them for the purpose of discussing our public wrongs." This having been seconded by a Mr. Glegg, was carried unanimously. A Mr. M'Gregor then pro posed the following resolution :—" That the pro posed Reform Bill is not only a sham, but an insult to the working men of England, and we will not cease to agitate until we have obtained our full and just rights." This was also passed, and the meet ing, which lasted twenty-five minutes, then broke up, and the people quietly d spersed. 5110.1'1N G IN /EL L i M E ff " r from g.
