Eventually the hag fell to an excellent start, but after they bad gone a few yards Lady Pam showed iu advance of Moldavia and Beadle, next to whom were Vandervelde and Historian ; Special heading the remainder, who were whipped in by Rejoinder and Quirina. After going about a quarter of a mile, The Special drew up to the .girths of Vandervelde, who the next moment took up the running, making play clear of Lady Pain and Beadle ; Mrs. Allan and Violent being prominent in the rear. Approaching the bend the lot took pretty good order, Special still being iu front, fol lowed closely by Lady Pam, Historian, Beadle and Leases, next to whom was Fortunatus, Violent lying last. With but trifling variation, the above named order was main tained to the bend, on rounding which John Hali fax, who had hitherto laid well up in the ruck, joined Beadle, 1 Historian simultaneously running wide. When fairly in the straight, Lady Pam retired from the front division, and Beadle joining Vandervelde, the pair quitted Bismarck, who " came" in the straight, and from the distance the race was reduced to a match, Count Battliany's horse winning cleverly by half a length; Bismarck was defeated a couple of lengths for second place ; Leases about eight lengths behind him was fourth ; Mrs. Allan, who had never looked dangerous, finishing next ; Fortunatus sixth; Lady Pam seventh; John Halifax eighth; Special ninth; Rejoinder tenth; beaten some dis tance.

LINCOLN SPRING MEETING-TUESDAY. It is doubtful if ever the opening of the legitimate cam paign at Lincoln was more agreeable to the racing com munity than it was this season, for all classes of turfites were tired of the " dull months," and expressed themselves anxious to resume their avocation. Since the break up of the great frost there has been no interruption of the daily doings at the training quarters, and the teams in various parts of the country having done some excellent work, re presentatives were sent to Lincoln nearly in accordance with general anticipations, and for the early period of the year most of the competitors looked wonderfully fit and well. The meeting which was inaugurated here to-day promises to be the forerunner of a very successful season, extending as it does into November, and comprising up wards of 200 race meetings. The energetic clerk of the course, Mr. Ford, issued a list for the two days, whichcom prised several new and important features, embracing the first two-year cld race of the season which last year took place at Harrow. Whilst catering for the interests of the racing public, Mr. Ford has not been unmindful of the inhabitants of the fen country, for the programme included steeplechasing and hurdle racing, a description of sport to which the local people are very partial. The popularity of Mr. Chaplin, whose country seat, Blankney, is near Lin coln, also conduced to the well-being of the meeting, and a large number of sportsmen are being entertained by that gentleman during the week. The sport was of an extremely interesting character, and large fields were the rule. The chief event of the day, the Lincolnshire Handicap, brought out the large number of 19 runners, many . of whom were backed at comparatively short prices, whilo the winner, Vandervelde, was so lightly esteemed that hestarted at the outside price of 33 to 1. The race was won easily, and Fortunatus, Mrs. Allan, and John Halifax, who had been backed very :heavily, were beaten to nothing. The re maining events do not call for any particular remark, and ample details of the day's sport are appended : The Trial Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 30 added ; three year olds 7st 31b, four Bst 101 b, five 9st 51b, six and aged 9st 101 b; mares and geldings allowed 31b; maiden three year olds 41b, four aed upwards 71b; winners of 100 sovs in any one year 51b, twice or 200 101 b extra ; the second to save his stake;, one mile ; 17 subs.

After ono ineffectual attempt the lot got away on even terms, Miss Middleton taking up the running, followed by Black Prince and Porter's Knot, Vice Versa and Primrose to gether lying next, Saccharometer and Honesty bringing up the rear. This order was maintained for a quarter of mile, when Miss Middleton dropped back to Black Prince and Porter's Knot, the trio coining on abreast until ap proaching the turn, where Honesty drew up to the three, and they ran in a cluster to the bend, at which point Porter's Knot took a slight lead, being joined by Primrose within the straight, Saccharometer at the same time taking third place. At the rails the last-named joined the leaders, and quitting them opposite the enclosure, won cleverly by a length ; a like distance separated second and third ; and the remainder were placed by the judge.

The deaths in the present return are less by 114 than the estimated number. The mortality of the metropolis has rapidly de creased, and the salutary effects of a higher tempe rature are now apparent. In the week which ended Jan. 19 the mean temperature of the air was 26.0 deg., and in the following week 1,880 deaths were registered ; in the week which ended Feb. 9 the mean temperature was 13.1 deg., and last week the deaths were 1,389. A rise of 17 deg. of temperature has been followed by a reduction of 491 deaths. Twenty-seven deaths from small-pox were regis tered last week ; in the preceding week the number was 47. Typhus proved fatal last week to 44 per sons, of whom 10 belonged to the West, 12 to the North, 6 to the Central, 13 to the East, and 3 to the South districts. In stating these results, the 11 deaths that occurred in the London Fever hospital, Islington, are referred to the districts from which the patients had been brought. Twenty children died from scarlatina, and 60 from whooping-cough. Thirteen deaths from burns or scalds were recorded ; 4 men were burnt on Feb. 11 by a house taking fire at Tooting. The son of a tailor, aged 10, run over by a van, died on Feb. 8, in St. Bartholomew's Hospital. The annual rate of mortality last week was 24 per 1,000 in London, 28 in Edinburgh, and 34 in Dub lin ; 23 in Bristol, 24 in Birmingham, 31 in Liver pool, 30 in Manchester, 28 in Salford, 26 in Shef field, 28 in Leeds, 25 in Hull, 37 in Newcastle-upon- Tyne, and 30 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 32 per 1,000 during the week ending the 9th inst., when the mean temperature was 24 deg. Fahren heit lower than in the same week in London, where the rate was 27. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.947 in. The barometrical reading decreased from 30.23 in. on Wednesday to 29.62 in. on Friday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 46.7 deg., which is 8.4 deg. above the average of the same week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 57.1 deg. on Saturday. The lowest night temperature was 37.9 deg. on Tuesday. The entire range of tempera ture in the week was, therefore, 19.2 deg. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thames was 44.9 deg. ; that of the lowest I was 428 deg. The diffe rence b etween th e mean I dew-point temperature and air temperature was 4.7 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 84, complete saturation being represented by 100. Rain fell to the amount 0f.0.38in, - of which 0.24 in. fell on Monday. The direction of the wind was v a r iable. According to a return furnished by the engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works, the average daily quantity of sewage pumped into the river Thames at the southern ou:fall works, Cross ness, was 44,220,.516 gallons, or 200,911 cubic metres, equivalent to about as many tons by weight. PRICF 4d. STAMPED sd. The Dedicat'on to Shakspere's Sonnets. The following exquisitely ingenious suggestion of an explanation to the hitherto all but inscrutable enigma of the Dedicatory Page prefixed to the first edition of " The Sonnets of Shakspere" is thrown out in last Saturday's:id/ewe/1m by a correspondent of that journal signing himself " Philarete Chasles." First, however—that is, before giving this ingenious hypothesis of Philarete Chasles's—it will be as well to observe that in the letter addressed by him to the .. , ltlienxion under date " Palais de l'lustitute, Paris, 9th February, 1867"—the writer Speaks of Mr. Gerald Massey's recent book about the Sonnets, and of one upon the same subject now about to appear from his own hand. Mr. Massey's ability he ad mires so much that although he in no way coin ,cidesin his views in regard to the 6onneta,.le pro, poses to dedicate his own work upon those Sonnets to him—Mr. Massey. In fact, he says, in this : Although I cannot alWays agree with him, I admire Mr. Massey's talent ; and to Him I intend to dedicate my humbler volume on Shaksporo's Sonnets. As the form of my dedication explains my reading of a puzzle which remains unsolved, you will perhaps allow me to quote here : TO . THE . SUBTLE . EXPOUNDER . OF . TILE . SIIAKSPERIAN . SONNETS . MR. P. C. ALL . HONOURS . AND . THAT . REWARD . DUE . TO . HIS . MOST-ERUDITE . SAGACITY . WISIIETH . THE . WELL WISHING . ADVENTURER . IN . SETTING . FORTH . H. P.. • Henry Pion, the Parisian Editor and Printer. To . The . Onlie . Begetter . Of . These . Insuing . Sonnets . Mr. V. IL fill . Happinesse And . That . Etcrnitie . Promised . By Our . Ever . Living . Poet . Wisheth . The . Adventurer . In . Setting . Forth . TT. The above is an exact copy of the famous dedica tion of Thomas Thorpe. Why Mr. Massey wastes any doubts on the very evident sense of the words which I reproduce is more than I can understand. Most dedications of the Elizabethan period are written in the same form, the name of the dedicator following closely that of the dedicatee, and the verb being left at the end of the sentence. But, says Mr. Gerald Massey, why divide a single sentence into two parts ? I answer, that 'Thomas Thorpe's addition is a mere signature, a flourish, a postscriptum. I answer, that the great man of the batch is the one first mentioned, the begetter, the only true creator, the father of Shakspere's Sonnets, Southampton. He figuros at the head of the inscription, crowned with immortality, while T. T. remains humbly crouching at the base, and W. H. kneels in an obscure clrner. Wbo is the begetter of Shakspere's genius ? Lord Southampton. Who is the timid adventurer, T. T., who fears to lose his money and wishes well, hoping with a gentle sigh that the enterprise may beprofitable?—Thomas Thorpe (the publisher). And, lastly, who is the still more bashful " well wisher?" 'Who is this W. H.? To unravel this mys tery seems the most difficult part of our task. - "'Who is this W. H., who does not even claim a whole line for himself, and advances, hat in hand, with bended knee, requesting our great Lord to excuse him, asking pardon from the begetter of the poems which he dares to print with the help of the publisher Thomas Thorpe? IVho is W.H. ? • W. 11. is clearly a man of small note, a timid man : but he has a right to dictate the book to Lord Southampton. What kind of right ? has he collected the scattered poems, the sibyline leaves, which have fallen, shaken by the tempest, from the aspen tree of passion, love and mediation of Shak spere's genius —to be handed from lord to lady, from lady to lord, circulating among the author's private friends? My first idea, which the Athoiccum had the kindness to record (No. 1787, Jan. 25, 1862), led me to believe that IV. H. was William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke. Maturer reflection induces me to abandon that ground. A man of the world, a knight of the Garter, a Court-fa vourite, could scarcely submit, especially in the proud days of Elizabeth's reign, to such a forget fulness of his rank and titles. After due consideration, and some obstinate peer ing into old books, I remain convinced that Lord Pembroke and W. H. are not the same person. But who was he? I wandered through the Hughes', Hewes', Harpmans, Hartmans, Heywoods, Halla ways, liolloways, Heartseases, Hickmans, Homers, Horobys, Ilutchinsons, and others who happened to have aW. for their baptismal initial. The man can have been but a 211ister or even a Magter ; still, he must have been rather intimate, or at least fami liarly acquainted, with the poet, whom he salutes in the most hail-fellow-well-met style. _ . I see but one person in whom the two requisite conditions could be fulfilled. He must, about the time of the publication of the Sonnets, not only have been an inhabitant of London, but often and necessarily with Shakspere. The great thinker, after many years of hard labour as actor, author and manager, probably tired of the turmoil of the metropolis, had then wade up his mind, counted his savings, built his future abode, settled his accounts with his partners, and was ready to retire to New Place, in order to enjoy a dignified rural repose. He was loved and courted by the whale community of Stratfordians ; some would wish to make an inroad on his purse ; others sought his patronage. We know of no quarrel between him, his cousins, half-brothers, or nephews. That the brother of his wife Ann Hathaway (whom he mar ried when he was still in his teens—a right stron ,, woman, who survived him for six years)—that William Hathaway (W. II.) should have visited his relative, William Shakspete, cannot be a matter of doubt. That those visits may have become more frequent and protracted at the time of Shakspere's projected withdrawal from London, when he had to draw up his inventories a n d arrange his papers, does not seem an idle surmise. 1 use the word surmise purposely. All Shaksperiau facts, if we except some dates, are but conjectures. Let us ac cept the most likely. Whatever may be the shrewdness, th e sagac ity, th e divining art of the guesser, we must rest satisfied with a mere calcu lation of probabilities, partaking moreor less of mathematical exactness. Without rashly venturing to affirm—and putting forward some conjectures (which iu such a matter have a right to claim a hearing, but nothing more), I say that W. H. and William Hathaway may be identical ; that Shakspere, whose youthful verses made much noise, had probably kept rough draughts, copies and duplicates of his fugitive pieces, seems also very probable. He thought little about glory, publicity, and literary rewards; this is most unques- . 5- ' ... ii. k5) .....,- 1 9 ", 't-- t r_ • tionably proved by the incorrect sta . it' ~..1., ! ,„,,,...„,,,-. * left his dramas, and by the testirn s .- ... -- ' 5 •: ; 77.• 444 leagues, who became his publishers a '. :11 ^" , "•-:er- v* - - I His carelessness in this respect is one o II CZ4 - ‘ curious anomalies recorded in the history Igi • ', I . ture. Well, he cared little about his Poems, either amatory or dramatic. He had made his fortune, and was tired with the battle of life, so valiantly waged by him during twenty long years. This being the case, if the brother of his wife, then a young man, begged from his generosity the gift of those scattered, loose, unarranged poems, of those studies, imitations from the Italian, juvenile cs,:ays, pasionate utterings, sentimental effusions, left all topsy-turvy, dateless, nameless, inobably written on separate sheets (for what man of letters is not aware of the chaotic stats in which such old papers are generally left ?)---if W. 11., or William Hath away, who perhaps was uo stranger to the monel-- griping propensities of the family, requested kom his illustrious relative to give Lim (W. II.) th e right of publishing the ?lever-imprinted Sonnets,— how could Shakspere refuse to comply? It was a very good bargain for Shakspere himself. The Sonnets were really Lord Southampton's property,_ that noble and impassioned gentleman of the Sydney a:hool being the godfather, the truest begetter (Be .-- v and Ge, the Teutonic roots indicating acquisition and creation,—Southampton, I repeat, being the real Minerva, the Begetter and fecundating pow of Shakspere's Muse. The Sonnets belonged (B e _ Longed) to him; for they were made after his fashion, in the mood of Surrey's, Spenser's, and Sydney's poetry. In 1606 and 1609 Southampton was following his stormy and sturdy career, travelling by land and sea, fighting through clouds and smoke. IVas it not a sort of breach of friendship to print, to render public, the Sonnets which, though ad dressed by Shakspere to several persons, and "alluding to many people and to many events, had ' , pen inspired by Southampton alone? ~slowing tha thread of our very simple likely imaginings, we may fancy that William Hathaway was made aware of the difficulty by the poet whose tact never deserted him through the whole course of his life, and who, though attached to Essex, to James, to Southampton, was clever enough to avoid being embroiled in their dangerous plots, but remained true to friendship, and invin cibly devoted to Southampton. A manuscript requires a publisher; the Sonnets wanted one. Here steps forward the famous Thorpe. He was, as appears from the little we know of his life, a rather odd man ; literary, priggish, senten tious, and a lover of erudite riddles. Mr. Gerald Massey, in his useful work, produces specimens of the liolophernes-AlalVolio stylo of that conceited pub lisher. If William Hathaway, having in his pos session the disorderly matter of the never-before imprinted (and never-to-be-understood) Sonnets, chanced to meet Thorpe, and asked him to print them, no doubt the bookseller consented, but with a reserve. • He stood, of course, in awe of South ampton, and concocted for Hathaway the enig matical dedication upon which so many pates and poetical annotators have floundered and been wrecked. "Pray, my Lord (so says the good rustic to Southampton), excuse the liberty we take, Mr. Editor and I, in printing the poems of my brother-in-law, William Shakspere.. I am aware they are yours, though Shakspere wrote them. Shakspere is our poet, you know. He is England's poet. lam ids by my sister's marriage, as he is yours by friendship and literary relationship. You may forgive our breach of trust., since, in these very Sonnets, your name is gloriously emblazoned, crowned with im mortality. As I have no authority from you, my lord, I dare not mention your name in full, and hope you will remain satisfied with my modest Weave." Assuredly I am far from swearing to the absolute truth of these possibilities, the links of which agree, but which cannot bear the test of a judicial inquiry. I arer only, End maintain (to use the energetic language of Mr. Massey) that my explanation is simple,. probable, without a flaw ; that it has in its favour the date of the publication, and the character of the persons concerned. It harmonises with Southa►r.pton's fiery pride, with William Hath away's humble position, with Shakspere's estab lished reputation and literary habits, and, last of all, with Thorpe's eccentric personality, which ap pears in strong light at the end of the dedication, and shows itself in the flourish of his signature. " Well," says the Malvolio bookseller, " must I, the capitalist., the man who ventures his money and his credit, must I, T. T., be debarred from the benefit of publicity ? No ! I will have room and be permitted to show my honourable face. You, my Lord, arc the begetter, and Mr. William Hathaway is the go-between ; but I, Thomas Thorpe, the money'd man, am the adventurer, and say so. May I not lose my money !" Such is my view of that business. The Austrian Message to the Diets. The following is Baron Beust's circular despatch to the governors of the different countries belonging to Austria enclosing the message of the Imperial Government, which has been communicated to all the Diets in the empire : "The Imperial Message enclosed hereby, which you will please to bring to the knowledge of the Diet, contains the views and intentions of the Go vernment in so unmistakable a manner that it re quires no special instruction to enable you to inter pret them according to their spirit in the forthcom ing discussionsof the Diet. An accurate appreciation of the contents of this message will convince you, land yon will give utterance to this conviction, that I the way adopted by the Government has not the significance of a change of policy in the common ac ceptation of that term, but that in conscientiously taking into consideration the position which is the result of the development of affairs, the Government is doing justice to all the demands and consequences ! depending thereon. The G-overliment doe.s not ignore the past, but it cannot allow it to be made the un. alterable rule for conducting the affairs of the pre sent. The reconciliation with Hungary is the fruit of the suspension of the February Constitution; the arrangement which has been entered into with Hun gary must be upheld and legalised, and .turned to advantage, by a loyal and wise execution by and with the concurrence of the other parts of the mo narchy, whilst at the same time the harm oecaaoned by the suspension and interruption of the constitu tional state of affairs in the Cis-Leithan provinces must henceforth be repaired. The Government is fully aware that it must impartially judge whe ther or not and how far the constitution has been impaired by the difficulties which were the ne cessary consequences of its development. It cannot adopt any other mode of solution than that of convoking the representative assembly pre scribed by the constitution, and regulate with that body, by common accord, the constitutional ques tion. If the Diets duly appreciate these views, they will also acknowledge that the proceeding of the Government, in pursuing the road now adopted, is perfectly free from all party bias, and that neither a preference for, nor a prejudice against, any na tionality can be traced in their intentions. The exertions of the Government are based on the prin ciple of conciliation in every direction ; but it will firmly take its stand on the existing constitutional ground, and carry into effect this idea of concilia tion only on this foundation. The Government, in submitting to the acceptance of the Reichsrath those alterations in the constitielon which have become necessary by the arrangement effected with Hun gary, must reject the presumption that it intends to encroach upon its rights of free assent. But it relics upon the patriotic and enlightened spirit of the re presentative body, which must be cognisant of the fact how much Austria will gain by the termination of the hitherto insecure and u nsettled state of affairs, and what she has to lose and to apprehend from a continuation and increas e of this state of uncertainty as well as of the fact that every just demand can be satisfied only according to: the degree of the re generated s trength of Austria.
