The takes of salmon have been on an average with those caught Ist week; but grilse and trout have again greatly fallen off. Tho sea fisheries have also yielded comparatively few fish. The net fishing may now be considered at a close, to-day being the last day of the season. Loss OF A YACHT WITH THE OWNER AND His FAMILY.—A painful yacht accident occurred off Baltywater, near Donaghadee, on Thursday. The yacht of Captain William Laurence Knowles, 63d Regiment, the Java, containing with the crew his wife, her child, and maid, struck on Skull Martin, and sank almost immedi ately. The crew managed to reach the shore, but Captain Knowles, his wife, child, and servant perished. The yacht was on its way from Greenock to Kingstown when the sad catastrophe occurred. The body of Mrs. Knowles alone has been found. It is expected an investigation into the circumstances connected with the unhappy accident will be held, as it is felt to be a matter of wonder how the crew could be saved while all the rest perished.. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1867. Oxfordshire Members on Public Affairs. TIIAME, Friday. The annual gathering of the Thame Agricultural and Horticultural Societies was held yesterday. The ploughing was exceedingly good, and the prizes awarded to cottagers for their produce very nume rous. In the afternoon a large party sat down at the Spread Eagle. The chair was, as usual, occupied by Capt. Wykeham, and among the gentlemen present were Col. North, Col. Fane, M.P., Mr. T. T. Barnard, and other gentlemen. The usual loyal and zonstitutional toasts were given, and duly honoured. COL NORTH, in responding to the toast of the Army, Navy, and Volunteers, sail that, happily, we had of late years not been mixed up with any wars on the Continent ; but he was sorry to say that we were to enter upon a campaign which would pro bably prove very disastrous to life, and cost the country a considerable sum of money—he alluded to the preparations which were now in progress to relieve the captives in Abyssinia. He was certain, however, that no .Englishman would think we were doing wrong in entering upon that campaign. (Hoar, hear.) In the first place the treatment of these unfortunate captives for the last two or three years had been almost dreadful ; and then, when her Majesty was pleased to send a gentleman in an official capacity, who had every right to expect that his mission would be successful, the barbarian King, instead of releasing the captives, had made the representative of our Sovereign a prisoner. Of course we were bound at any expense in honour to engage in the contest for the purpose of obtaining redress; and whatever difficulties our troops might have to contend with, he was quite confident they would do credit to the honour of the country. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the health of the county members, said that no county in England was better represented. The members were of a thoroughly English breed, and stuck closely to their constituents, who would take care to return them again. (Cheers.) He had that morning received a letter from Mr. Henley, who after a laborious session was recruiting his health in Guernsey, and he was sure every one desired that he might be sufficiently invigorated to return to the performance of his duties next session. (Cheers.) Colonel NORTII, who was received with loud cheers, ,9xpressed his regret at the absence of his right hon. colleague, than whom no member better deserved a little recreation, for during a long, try ing, and tedious session no member was more fre quently first in his place and last out of it (Cheers.) He, himself, always felt great pleasure in attend ing these anniversaries, and felt most grateful for the cordial reception he always experienced. He understood that the ploughing had been most excel lent, and that the garden produce exhibited was of the first quality. He, perhaps, might be allowed to say a few words on a subject which had during the last session occupied almost the whole time of the house, and had excited the greatest interest through out the country. He was aware that at these meetings the introduction of political matters was not allowed, and he thought such a regulation most advantageous; but still there were occasions on which it was a man's duty to say a word upon such questions. (Hear, hear.) He saw gentlemen around him who had for many years felt that the franchise ought to be considerably enlarged, and he would only say that he hoped these gentlemen Were now satisfied. (Hear, hear.) To those who, like him self, did not wish to see the franchise enlarged to so great an extent, he would only say that for a series of years the question of Reform had engrossed the attention nut only of Parliament, but of the whole country, and it was therefore necessary that something should be done. The subject had been mentioned year after year iu the Queen's Speech, and during the last two or three Sessions the most important business of the country had been obliged to give way to it. Last year the question was mooted by the Government then in power, but their proposition not proving , satisfactory they had to give way to the present Government, who felt with the people generally that the matter ought to be discussed and settled. Ile be lieved they entered upon the consideration of the question with a firm determination, by the aid and assurance of the moderate men of all parties, to do all they could to effect a settle ment. Their measure received the support of diffe rent sections, and they succeeded in carrying their bill. He trusted, now it had become law, that the good sense and patriotic feeling of the people would induce them to give it a fair trial, and he was quite sure that moderate men of all parties would use their best endeavours to carry its provisions into effect, and that it would tend to the advantage and honour t thecountry. (Cheers.) Lord Derby had been account for saying that the Govern ment called o f had taken a leap in the dark ; but he should like to know if there was any thinking man in the country—any man connected with any set of politi cians —who could really say what would be the effect of the bill. (Hear, hear.) Lord Derby felt that he could trust to the good sense of the people, and he (Colonel North) was sure that his lordship would not be disappointed. (Ch eers. ) N o d o ubt it was a very great experiment, b u t h e -t rus t e d that those to whom the electoral franchise had just been given would exercise it in a just and proper manner, and for the good of the country. (Hear, hear.) A great deal had been said about others who, like himself, had turned their coats. Now, this had not been done for the sake of any p ersona l a d van t age . H e h a d not asked for any app o i n t ment, an d did n ot k now of any which he would accept, and could only say that any change in his opinions was attributable to the requirements of the country, and because he felt it his duty to place that confidence in his country men, which he trusted would be fully justified. It was the earnest desire of the members of the House of Commons generally to carry a good measure, and there were very few who were not animated by the desire of benefiting th e i r country. H e did no t sa y that there might not be a few discontented politi cians—a few professional agitators—who would not have been , satisfied even if the bill had been brought in by angels ; but he trusted that the efforts of those who had supported the measure would be abun dantly rewarded by its success. .(Cheers). Colonel FANE, who was also most cordially re ceived, said there were times and seasons for every thing.. This was the season when it behoved county members to visit their constituents, and it was a source of great satisfaction to him and his col leagues to have such frequent opportunities of meet ing so many .of the electors of the county. (Cheers.) A great deal had been said about Reform. He was a man of few words, but he trusted that his words were consistent with his cha racter. He could say fairly, truly, and honestly that at one time he was totally averse to Reform; but, seeing the agitation that was going on in different parts of the country—seeing that the great proces sions through the streets of London were doing a vast injury to trade, and knowing that, unless the question were settled, agitation would still go on, to the detriment of every trade in the country, the question arose, What was to be do ne ? His hon. rela tive, Mr. Henley, said, " If you pass a bill, pass o ne that will go the whole hog." (H ear , and laughter.) The measure was passed, cont rary to his (Colonel Fane's) wishes, but he trusted, with his friend Colonel North, that it would prove advantgeous to the country at large. (Hear, hear.) He was proud to say that for three generations the county had been represented by the Fane family, and he did not believe that a single trait of dishonesty had been found in their political character. (Cheers.) All he would say to his constituents was, "If you like my politics, vote for me ; if not, vote against me." So long as he represented them be would do his duty to them and the country' at large. (Cheers.) Mr. S. HODGSON, in resp on di ng to the toast of " The Strangers," while expressing his opinion that politics were properly excluded on occasions like the present, congratulated the company on the fact that the Reform question had been settled by a combi nation of Conservatives and Radicals. Conservatives and Radicals were very much alike—particularly Conservatives. (Laughter.) Radicalism was only Conservatism with its face unwashed; and Conser vatism was Radicalism with its best Sunday coat on. (Laughter.) The recent contest had brought-about MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THREATENING A MENDICITY SOCIETY'S OFFICER. —John Barrett and William Brown, two stalwart men, dressed as labourers, were brought before Mr. Knox by William Woddup and William Hewitt, officers of the Mendicity Society, charged with begging, and John Apple, a black man, was charged with obstructing the officers,, and endea vouring to rescue the other prisoners. IVoddup saw Barrett and Brown accosting ladies and gentlemen in North Audley-street, and solicit ing alms. He got assistance and took them into custody, when Apple interfered, and tried to get the others from his custody. Hewitt said he was assisting his brother officer when Apple assaulted him with the foulest abuse, said he would put a knife into him, and called upon. a large crowd, which had assembled, to rescue Bar rett and Brown. Apple was a well-known beggar, and had been in custody many times, hence his antipathy to the officers. Mr. Knox said there being plenty of employment for such men as Barrett and Brown, in harvesting and hopping, if they like to seek it, there was no excuse for them begging about London. He should commit them for a month each, and, as a warning to the prisoner Apple not to interfere with the offi cers again, he will be committed for a month also. Another sturdy beggar was also charged by Wod. dup, and also committed for a month. GUILDHALL. Two men, who gave the names of Williams and Adams, were charged to-day before Alderman Allen with attempting to pick a gentleman's pocket last Wednesday. From the statement of the prosecutor it appeared that he was going over Blackfriar's-bridge about six o'clock in the evening, when he found a hand in his pocket, and he saw Adams draw it out. The other prisoner was standing near him. They both went away, and he followed them until he met a policeman. When the prisoners saw him speaking to the latter they took to their heels, closely pur sued by two policemen. The policeman stated that they succeeded in capturing the prisoners, one in Bride-lane and the other near the gas works. They were searched at the station, but nothing was found on their persons. Both gave false addresses, and it was strongly suspected they were old hands, but at present they were not recognised by the police. They were sentenced to one month's hard labour. John Hall was charged with having unlawful possession of a blanket. A police-constable stated that last evening he noticed the prisoner carrying a bundle, and on opening it he found it consisted of a blanket. He could give no satisfactory account of how it came into his possession, and on searching him a skirt was found wrapped round him under his clothes. It appeared that he was well known to the police, and had been previously convicted of stealing lead. Sentenced to one month's hard labour. THAMES. A GREEK RUFFIAN.—A SCENE IN RATCLIFFE HIGRWAY.—George Davis, a tall dark man, with large bushy whiskers, aged 27 years, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assaulting Jane Brady, who appeared in court with severe contusions on her face and arms.

Among the unfortunates attached to his house is the complainant, over whom he had exercised the most odious tyranny, and would not allow to retain her immoral earnings. The villain took ss. from her, went out and spent the money, and returned to his infamous den intoxicated. He asked the complainant why she did not sweep his room and clean his place. She said it was no business of his, on which he abused her, struck her with a bottle, and after knocking her down kicked her about the body and jumped on her face. Au English sailor, named Robert Russell, staying in the same house with another female, named Ellen Kemp, said that treatment to a woman was neither fair nor manly, pulled the prisoner away from her, and compelled him to desist. The prisoner took up another bottle, struck the woman on the shoulder with it, and broke the bottle. Some of the frag ments struck Ellen Kemp's arm, and caused it to bleed profusely. The prisoner then threw the com plainant Brady on the floor, and recommenced kicking and beating the wretched woman a second time. The woman screamed " Murder !" and Help !" Russell again interfered, and after a general fight in the house amongst foreigners and English, inwhichthe former got the worst of it, the prisoner was g i ven into custody. r Joseph Smith, solicitor, who defended the prisoner, said he was instructed that the complain ant began the affray by striking the prisoner and abusing him. He called the two witnesses, who did not materially alter the complexion of the case. Mr. Paget said the prisoner was not content to live upon the earnings of the wretched outcasts in his house, but he must beat them. A more detest able creature than a fellow who got his money in such a disreputable manner could not be conceived. The prisoner narrowly escaped being convicted of committing an aggravated assault, and he would in that case have sentenced him to six months' hard labour. He was not satisfied quite of there being an aggravated assault, but a very brutal and das tardly assault was committed, for which he sen tenced him to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. He was sorry the law did not give him more power to punish the prisoner. WESTMINSTER. AN ARTFUL YOUNG THI EF. —Alfred Chapman, aged 17, assistant to his uncle, a greengrocer, re siding at 2, Sutherland -place, Pimlico, was charged with stealing 101 from the dwelling house of Mr. Thomas Lewis, a butcher, residing next door. Mr. Lewis, of No. 3, Sutherland -place, said that morning, about 1 o'clock, he was aroused by a noise, and found it was a constable who had entered the premises, who said some one had been in the count ing house and broken a desk open. The prisoner was not in custody then. They found that the desk had been forced open probably with a butcher's knife which lay on the floor. He could not under stand how an entrance had been effected, as the place was all locked up and left secure before they went to bed. He did not think any one could have been concealed on the premises. He knew the prisoner as living next door. Nobody had gone out after he had bolted the door. There were two lodgers, but they were both in bed. There was only a few coppers in the desk, and about 10d. had been taken. Prisoner, when asked if he wished to put any questions to the witness, said--I found your shop door open ; I went in to get some money ; I am very sorry, and hope you will forgive me. Thomas 185 B, said he saw the shop door slightly open, and pushed it, but found it would not open, as a rope was stretched across the top, inside. He again pushed it and opened it. H e saw no one there, and as there was no bell or knocker, he hammered, at the door with his truncheon, and the prisoner answered, and stated that they had omitted to fasten the door before going to bed. He suspected the prisoner, and told him to fetch his master, and prisoner went and called Mr. Lewis twice. He then returned and said his master was asleep, and went back to wake him, but disappeared at the back of the premises, and was not seen again until half-past three in the morning, when he was taken in Charlwood-street, Pimlico. Mr. Lewis said he was an orphan, but well brought up, and would come into property when 22 years Df age. The uncle said he was afraid the boy had got into bad company, and a reformatory would do him good. Prisoner having pleaded guilty, and elected to be tried by the magistrate, was admonished, and then sentenced to three months' imprisonment in the Houae of Correction, with hard labour, an approximation of parties who had been opposed to each other, and he trusted the result would be the advancement of many measures in which the people took a deep interest, and which would tend to promote the welfare of all parties. (Cheers.) He trusted the Radicals and Con servatives would do their best to give the people such an education as would best qualify them to exercise their rights—that kind of teaching and training which would develop the understanding and moral feeling, lay the foundation of good principles for the regulation of conduct, and qualify every one to make the best use of the faculties which the Almighty had given them. (Cheers.) Many other toasts were given and responded to, and the festivities were kept up to a late hour. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER RA.CES.-RIDAY. The last . scene in the eventful drama of another Don caster September Meeting was in keeping with the general character of the piece. The weather opened and kept beautifully fine; and the company, though not to be com pared with that of the great St. Leger day, was yet very good, the only noticeable falling off Wing in the outside throng, for the grand stand and the ring showed little diminution in point of attendance. The sport commenced earlier than usual, with the obvious view of enabling the visitors to return to, their various homes, after a week's pleasurable sojourn in the north. The first three events 9f the day resulted in wonderful surprises, a trio of well known and heavily-supported public performers suffering defeat from mere outsiders. The most remarkable of these was the overthrow of Blue Gown by a horse whom he had easily overcome in the Champagne Stakes a few days previously, Blue Gown not only being the first beaten, but the absolute last to pass the post. The other note worthy overthrow was Vauban succumbing to Taraban at a difference of only 51b. Achievement won the Doncaster Cup in a canter, Hermit again being second, and thus the Leger running was confirmed to the very letter, though the partisans of the latter entertained great hopes that the additionallength of the course would be much in his favour The success of "the mare" fully proves now that she not only possesses great speed, but that she can stay over any distance. Hermit won the Sweepstakes of 200 soya easily of course from two moderato opponents, and thus earned, no doubt, sufficient to pay his expenses. Thus ended ono of the most memorable meetings ever held on the Town Moor. There was little time left for betting on future events, but the few transactions that took place, with the details of the running, will be found appended below : The Park Hill Stakes of 50 sovs each, h ft, for three year old fillies; Bst 101 h each; the winner of the Derby or St. Leger 91b, of the Oaks 51b extra; the second to receive 100 soya out of the stakes: St. Leger Course. 32 subs.

Ines made the running ata slow pace, followed by Minster Bell, the Emily filly, bringing up the rear. After going over the hill the three went on in Indian file until passing the Rifle-butts, where the lot closed. At the distance Minster Bell was headed by the Emily filly, and the three ran a close race home, the Emily filly winning cleverly by a head. The favourite was beaten a short head for second place. A Sweepstakes of 100 sovs each, h ft, with 800 added, for two year old; the property of members of the Jockey Club, of the Rooms at Newmarket, or of the Private Stand; colts Bst 101 b, fillies Bst 71b; .maidens at tho time of starting allowed 31b ; second to save his stake; from the Rifle Butts (about six furlongs). 28 subs.

Betting-7 to 4on Blue Gown, 7to 1 agst Michael de Basco, 8 to 1 agst Pace,'lo to 1 agst Mameluke, and 12 to 1 agst Court Mantle. The lot got off in close company, but, after taking a few strides, Mameluke took up the running, followed by . Court Mantle, Blue Gown, and Michael de Basco, Pace being slightly in the rear. In this order they rounded the bend, where Mameluke gave way, leaving Court Mantle with the lead of Blue Gown and Pace. Within the distance the favourite was dead beaten, and Pace, closing with Court Mantle, gradually headed him, and won very cleverly by three parts of a length. A leny;th separated second and third ; Mamo luke was fourth, and Blue Gewe last.- After the race 1,300 to 100 was accepted twice abent Pace for the Derby and 2,000 to 100 about Court Mantle. The Doncaster Stakes of 10 S3VB each, with 100 added, for three your olds; colts Bst 10Ib, fillies Bst 61b; the winner of the Derby or St. Leger IClb, of the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes at Newerarket, the Oaks at Epsom, or the Great Yorkihire Stakes at York 51b extra; the second to receive 50 sows out of the stakes; last mile and a half. 55 subs.

Tarabau made the running, attended by Longchamps, Ravioli, Vauban, and Van Amburgh, Man drake being in the rear until rising the hill, where the Whitewall gelding increased his lead to a couple of lengths, Mandrake simultaneously taking the third position, Long champs falling back with Ravioli, the latter of whom was now the absolute last. No notable change in the positions noted above occurred until rounding the bend, where Vauban decreased Taraban's load, drawing up on the out side of the gelding, whom he challenged resolutely at the commencement of the enclosure, but Taraban, running gamely to the finish, won cleverly by a head ; Vauban defeated Mandrake a length for a second place ; Yam Am burgh was fourth ; and Longchamps last.

Betting-5 to 4on Achievement, sto 1 each agst Hermit and Beeswing, 100 to 8 each agst Strathconan and Gemara, and 20 to 1 agst Tynedale. After taking their canters, the eight runners proceeded to the starting post, and at the first attempt the flag fell to an excellent start. Seville, to servo her stable companion, Gomera, made play immedi ately, and opposite the stand held a lead of at least 10 lengths, Beeswing lying second, Achievement, Hermit, Strathconan, Tynedale, Goodwood, and Gemera, following in the order named. As they rounded the bend Hermit drew up to Achievement, the pair going on side by side in rear of Beeswing, while Goodwood, as they ascended the hill, dropped a long way in rear. Seville maintained a long lead to the Rifle-butts, where Bees wiug closed with her, but before reaching the Red House Prangle again sent his mare to the front. Commencing the bend Hermit passed Beeswing and drew up to Seville, who gave way half-a-mile from home, while Achievement, who had gradually crept up to Mr. Heathcote's mare, joined Hermit when fairly in the straight. For a few strides the Derby and St. Leger winners raced side by side, but after passing the distance the mare drew out, and won, literally pulling double, by three-parts of a length. Tyne dale was a very bad third, Gomera fourth, Beeswing fifth, Goodwood sixth, Strathconan seventh, and Seville last. Tho hoisting of the winner's number was received by an amount of enthusiasm equalled only by that displayed after her St. Leger victory.

After a long delay at tho post, caused by the fractiousness of Curfew Bell, Corinne made the running, having in attendance Johu Leech, Beauty, Timaru, Chsrnwood, Pompano, Landscape, and Welton. At the bend Welton assumed the lead, being joined by Miss Osborne and Ajax. The three ran together to the stand, where Ajax was beaten, while Miss Osborne being unable to get up with Welton, he won by half a length:; four lengths between second and third.

Miguel Lopez, who has, it seems, neither corn milted suicide nor been assassinated, has published an address to his " fellow-citizens and the whole world,'" repudiating with scorn and indignation the itnputations of treachery which have been directed against him, and giving what he calls a true account of the circumstances under which Maximilian fell into the hands of the Republicans. The substance of his narrative is as follows :—After the sortie of the Ist of May matters grew very desperate with the garrison of Queretaro. Provisions, which had been scarce for some time, were now altogether exhausted. The soldiers were reduced to eat horse flesh. There was no bread, no eggs; and the horses of the Empress's regiment had to be fed on the bark of the ash. The supply of ammunition was also almost at an end. Under these circum stances the troops became rapidly demoralised. Physical weakness infected their spirit, and they felt their position was continually becoming more des perate and untenable. Maximilian set a noble example of patience and valour to the men, and the officers seconded him. When Marquez quitted Queretaro to collect all the men and resources be could get, all he was able to do was to gather together some 4,000 men from the whole of Mexico. What the end of the siege would be was then clear. Nlaximilian received neither couriers nor news ; he had no longer any hope of succour. The soldiers of the Foreign Legion, for the most part French, received communications from many of their com panions who were in the enemy's ranks. From that moment all was lost. It was under these circum stances that Maximilian, on the night of the 14th of May, made up his mind to treat with the enemy for a capitulation, and entrusted Lopez with the mission. Lopez accordingly went to Escobedo and asked him to allow the Emperor, with the Empress's suite and the Empress's regiment, to leave Mexico. Esco bedo's reply was that he had no power to grant this request, and that Maximilian must either surrender at discretion or fight. When Lopez returned to the Imperial quarters at midnight he found that the horses were all saddled for departure, that Maxi milian had repeatedly asked for him, and was now anxiously awaiting his arrival. On hearing Esco bedo's reply, Maximilian was evidently much dis appointed. Preparations for flight had been made more than once, and the enemy, informed of these preparations, resolved upon a desperate move. On the night of the 14th of May, on quitting Maxi milian, Lopez, engrossed, as he says, with thoughts about the fate of the army, set out to go the round of the lines. On reaching the gate of La Cruz, which he had charged his officers to watch with es pecial vigilance, he was surrounded by a body of officers and men, who put their pistols to his throat. He at once recognised them as enemies, and they made him prisoner. Stupefied for the moment, he could neither fight nor flee. His captors, taking him with them, immediately made for the Emperor's quarters. To gain time, and to warn Maximilian, so that he might escape,was then Lopez's sole idea. He went, therefore, to General Velez, and suggested that it would be only humane to avoid shedding blood. Colonel Yabloski was charged to tell the Emperor that he had just time to escape, and Lopez cannot explain why the colonel was so long in dis charging his task. At daybreak Maximilian pre sented himself with some persons of his suite, sol diers of various corps, and some others. He was on foot, in the street, and followed very close upon the party who had made Lopez prisoner. Taking ad vantage of a momentary confusion among the Re publican soldiers, Lopez hurried, as fast as he could on a bad horse, to meet the Emperor, meaning, we suppose, though he does not say so, to give him a hint of this danger. Then Lopez returned in the direction of the soldiers. In proof of his assertions Lopez appeals to Prince Salm, Yabloski, Prodillo, Dr. Blosk, and Don Jose de Blasio, who were wit nesses of what happened. Lopez seeks to implicate some other Imperialist officers in the treachery which surrendered Queretaro to the Republicans. Of course Lopez's statement, which we have summarised above, only goes for what it is wo r th. That he should have been the first man seized by the Repub lican troops on their entrance is certainly a suspi cious circumstance. He is still a prisoner, but there does not appear to be any intention of proceeding against him, which is also another element of sus picion.—Pall Mall Gazette. MARKETS.---This day. COVENT GARDEN.

Market opens rather quieter, but unchanged. Sales estimated at 10,000 or 12,000 bales. STATE OF TRADE. ----..db. MANCHESTER, Sept. 13.--The cloth-market, in consequence of the large business done in cotton at Liverpool yesterday, opened rather steadier in price, and this steadiness was increased to-day through telegrams that a good business was again doing in cotton, with rather firmer prices. Sellers of cloth advanced their quotations. The effect, however, has been little more than the arresting of the down ward tendency previously prevailing, and we believe but little business has been actually done at the im provement. Buyers are disposed to do business at the prices accepted yesterday, but an attempt to establish an advance checks operations. In the yarn-market advanced quotations have been de manded as a rub throughout the day, but the ex perience of spinners seems to have been much similar to that of sellers of cloth. Manufacturers requir ing yarns have declined to operate at high prices, and the market closes pretty much as yesterday.

The • main features were the strong disposition shown to support Honesty, while Blink hoolie and the Maid of Mashani filly were both healthy at their respective prices. Great hostility was evinced to Sportsman, who was friendless at 66 to 1. The list of quotations appended, though in many instances only ac cepted to nominal sums, will sufficiently indicate the tone of the market in respect to both the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire, though the latter race fails at present to excite any interest.

Jennings, as to v;hich of the two Derby and St. Leger winners was the best look ing horse, was to have been decided this week at Don caster. Blair Athol arrived on Monday, and the French matt by a special train shortly after noon on the following day. The judges, Mr. George Holmes, of Beverley, for Blair Athol ; and Mr. John Mannington, of Brighton, were agreed to on Wednesday, and the two equine celebrities were led to Waterdale Field, near the Horse Fair, in the presence of an immense crowd. All being so far settled, next came the question of arpointing an arbitrator, upon which point it would seem no agreement was arrived at, and the bet in consequence became void.

About one o'clock to-day considerable consterna tion was created in the neighbourhood of Temple Bar by a report that a portion of the buildings near Clements-lane, which are being rapidly demolished for the purposes of the site of the new courts of law, had fallen, and that several persons had been injured. The character of the accident NIT S misrepresented, and we are happy to add that the extent of the calamity was, as is usual in such cases, grossly exaggerated, although unfortunately one human life has fallen a victim. The scene of the accident is the space between Clement's-lane and the church. It appears that between 12 and 1 o'clock a large piece of granite was being lowered by means of a rope attached to two poles meeting in an angle at the top, from which the rope depended. There were some persons standing on the spot, and they were warned to go away, which, with the exception of the deceased, they did. He was a young man about 19, and apparently belonging to the working classes. He remained watching the operation intently, when the stone, some tons in weight, was lowered within a few yards of the ground, when one of the poles gave way and struck deceased. He was taken up in a state of insensibility and conveyed to King's College Hospital, where he expired almost imme diately afterwards. There was nothing known of his name or address. According to the comments of some of the bystanders the poles were quite unequal to the weight of the stone, and therefore that blame attaches to the parties to whom the work beiLg carried on was entrusted. CIILORODYNE AND CHOLERA. Cholera rages in the basin of the Mediterranean, where it is becoming domesticated. Strangely in con trast with the ancient seats of empire and civilisa tion which the dread plague has chose n , let us hope not as a permanent residence, is its selection of the new settlements in the far West of America, where its ravages are awful. The correspon dent of the Times, writing from Malta, gives a deplorable account of the desolation it has effected in Sicily. Hundreds had died in the week in which he wrote, and 50,000 persons had fled from Messina. " Chlorodyne," says the corres pondent, " has been found most efficacious as a remedy, and a number of persons are reported to have been saved by its use. Great numbers of people die without calling a doctor, having no con fidence in any of them ; but as the news of ehloro dyne having done good is spread, applications for it are being constantly made to the English , w h o seem to be the only persons who possess any o f This we believe to be the experience of India, when taken early on the symptoms presenting themselves, and in the great cities at least no one should die if chlorodyne can save him.
