A VISIT TO JAPAN, (LETTER FROM A MEDICAL OFFICER.) NAGASAKI, JAPAN, SEPT. 25. Our small squadron of three steamers and a fri gate arrived off this port on the 7th of September, and were running in with all ease and comfort, 'viewing with some surprise the number of batteries and guns on all available points of defence, for the eater harbour, when we found some boats anxious to communicate a letter in several languages for lidding our entrance, and "even verbally hinting such things as blowing us out of the water. This was at 4 p.m., but subsequently a deputation came and gave permission and promise of pilots for our going into the middle harbour on the following morning. We found our way in and anchored. A host of boats, with flags and canopies, accompanied us, or waited for the grand event of a British squa dron visiting the port. A chain of small junks was moored across the mouth of the inner port. There are a Dutch steamer of war and the annual trading ship close in, near the Dutch factory, on the little island of Desima. A party of Japanese officials visited us. Their appearance is peculiar; their features resemble those of North American Indians, who are consi dered to derive their origin from stray Japanese ; and this notion is not out of the way, for our inter preter was one of a junk's crew cast away in 1833 on the north-west coast of America, after tossing about 14 months or so. The mode of dressing the hair is quite different from that of Chinese or Tar tars. The top of the head is shorn clean, the hair of the remainder brought up to it and tied, and a short tail, made solid by gum, is laid on the head. The clothing is of loose silk gauze, of black or sober grey, a loose-fitting robe round the body and legs, with sometimes silk large-legged trousers, and the feet covered with a cloth or cotton glove, with a separate accommodation for the big toe, as a part of the sandal fastening runs between the toes to the instep from the sole of rice straw, which appears to be worn by all classes. Among the visitors there has been, I am told, an artist, and he took slyly a likeness of the cap tain. They carry a pocketbook, and we have got a peep once or twice at a plan of the port, or some of the guns, which are very large 64-pounders, and very numerous. All the visitors had in their sashes a long sword and dagger. I got one to show me the latter, and it seemed as fine in the temper and edge as one of my amputating knives. The hilts are curiously ornamented with gold and bronze, and the scabbards are of Japan ware, or a beautiful black and white shagreen. The curve is worn upwards, and they will not show the large blade. On the first day I found one or two who spoke Dutch, and I tried to get up a conversation. Everything seems interesting about this place and people, but they will not allow us many oppor tunities of judgina, for we cannot land at all. . They have sent supplies of various kinds, with fresh fish occasionally ; in fact, anything can be got hut the ,shore. O ur b oa t s h ave h a d a little trip round ti e harbour, and some of our officers found two pits of coal, which appeared to be of good qua lity, and will add to the value of this place as a " port de reldche." The scenery of this place is charming. I have made some coloured sketches. I hope to give you an opportunity of seeing them. We are goi ng t o J e dd o is a clay or two; perhaps I may find something to communicate. Oct. 2.—Tho fear of our departure has induced the governor to give us some supplies, with per mission to pay for them through the Dutch Go vernment—a great step in policy. We h a ve some good tea and rice ; pigs are coining instead of beef; cattle are only draught, and the use of milk is un known, as in China. Wax candles are used, and seem well made. The interior of the Loats is clean and neat in all its arrangements. By what I can learn, the pop u l a ti on i s about 40,000,000 ;thatonf Nagasaki 70,000. Oct. 3.—The Admiral was invited to land, with some officers. I ha ve th e honour of an invitation. We land to-morrow in five boats with the La n d. Oct. s. —O ur procession started at 9 a.m. As wejaDe near the line of junks moored across the harbour a boat came with an official to request we would wait until some grandee should arrive to conduct us. Our premature or informal entry would lead to the offending dignitary ripping him self up, as is the custom here in difficulties • and the r eason i s that the loss of imperial favour ' is attended with serious consequences to the family and children. Therefore suicide of the parent is tile usual course adopted. A brief delay set all right. We passed up the harbour, admiring the scenery, b a y s , v ill ages, and cultivated hills. Two military stations and some batteries were seen. We saw two large Chinese junks ; crews and rudders on shore. The Dutch steamer of war paid the compliment due to our flag. The little island of Desima, on which the Dutch factory is placed, attracted our notice. Our party was received by the official body waiting on the landing-place. Soldiers were placed at the side of the square, and some with staves escorted us up the street of stairs to the Governor's house. A framework was placed for cloths of blue, with - white designs, or white with black stripes, and they seemed to be for concealment as well as orna ment. Guards lined our road, and we soon got to the Governor's, and after a short delay wore ushered into the presence of his Excellency and the inspector of the province, Nodge Ivan Najo, who is independent in his functions, and exercises a. controlling p ower , as i n t h e case of the Spiri tual Emperor and Kubo Sa,ima. Their are rarailee and m anners were d i gnified, t h e Court dresses were very curious, and the silk portion of ri c h qua li ty. The style and degree of politen ess practised among themselves is so ex treme that it disgusted us considerably.

There are proofs of .smallpox prevailing here ; and, as the climate is severe in winter, other com plaints must exist which would require something beyond the vis medicatrix naturce.

The admiral has several handsome boxes, specimens of silk, and good china ; other officers, according to rank, have received small assorted boxes of china; surgeons have five cups and saucers of blue china, of tolerable quality; juniors get plates. I may tell you that the treaty has been signed, giving us certain accommodation, and promising much. At any rate, it is something to renew friendly intercourse with the most extraordinary of our race. To-day our screw steam-frigate went out with a party of the Japanese mechanics, who, by the way, are not in high esteem, as the military class is most honoured. We expect to move off to Hong Kong in a few days, and then get our six mails, and thus rejoin the world and hear of the progress of the war. Oct. 19.—Some very handsome presents were made to th e a d m i ra l— a J apan ca b ine t, silver mounted, a cardbox, some bowls, dishes, and vases of fine porcelain. Oct. 20.—We have started for Hong Kong and may touch at the Loo Choo Islands. A steamer takes the mail. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—Jan. 4. OLD COURT. (Before Lord Chief Justice Campbell and Mr. Justice Crowder.) THE DOUBLE MURDER IN WARREN-STREET. ( Continued from our Third Edition of Yesterday.) The case for the prosecution having closed, Mr. Collyer then proceeded to address the jury for the defence. He said that in every case of this kind a pre judice was very naturally excited against the individual who was charged with having wilfully deprived a fellow creature of existence, hut in the present instance there were many other circumstances calculated to increase that prejudice, and he felt that the jury could only come to a conscientious decision by resolutely determining nct to allow anything to operate upon their minds but the • sworn evidence laid before them in support of the specific charge which they were called upon to dispose of. He thought that the prisoner had a right to complain of the course that had been taken in trying him upon the pre sent indictment for killing the unfortunate man Collard, when it was perfectly clear that the original and main charge against him was that of killii.g Mr. Moore ; and he said that if that had been gone into he felt some con- Eence that he should have been able to satisfy the jury that in that case he had not committed the crime of wil ful and deliberate murder, an:l that at most he was only amenable to a charge of manslaughter. With reference to this charge he should submit to the jury that there was no evider.ca of any motive for the commission of such a barbarous crime, that it was admitted the prisoner and Mr. Moore were on friendly terms, and he asked whether it was probable that if such a crime had been in con templation the prisoner would have gone to the house acccenpaelcd Ly a female. He urged that it was ex tremely probabl e th at some quarrel had suddenly risen,- and that under. the impulse of passion the prisoner had committed the dreadful act of killing Mr. Moore. For that act, le hich would undoubtedly amount to the offence of manslaughter, the prisoner was liable to very severe pumshenent, and he said it appeared to him that the jury a - mild he justified in acquitting the prisoner upon the present charge and leaving him to be dealt with upon the oligieal one, from which he admitted he could not hope to escape so far zs regarded a conviction fir man slaughter. The learned counsel then proceeded to argue that there was nothing to show that the prisoner bad de liberately fired at the unfortunate man Collard, and said the jury would bor in mind that the moment he dropped from the paling into the road he was laid hold of by three or four men, and that the: e was nothing more likely than that the pistol went off by accident. With regard to the fact of the prisoner carrying arms about him such as had been described, he said that it was the custom among foreigners to do so, and be observed that if the prisoner had really been actuated by the 'murderous in tention imputed to him, the dagger that was found upon him was a much snore ready and deadly weapon than even a pistol. He concluded an eloquent speech by earnestly entreating the jury not to return a verdict the inevitable effect of which would be to sacrifice the life of the prisoner, but that they would take a course which would give him, during a long period of misery and de gradation, an opportunity for repenting of the crimes he had committed. The Lord Chief Justice then summed up. Ile said it was his duty to inform them that whether or not the act com mitted by the prisoner against Mr. Moore amounted to the crime of wilful murder or manslaughter, in either case a felony had undoubtedly been committed by the prisoner, and the law of England in such a case was that every one of the Queen's subjects was not only empowered but required to assist in the apprehension of the felon, and if he resisted and killed any one who endeavoured to arrest him that act amounted to the crime of wilful murder, and there could be no doubt whatever upon the point. They were not at that mo• ment considering this charge, but it was his duty to tell them that the prisoner had undoubtedly upon the evidence been guilty of felony ; and Collard, the unfor tunate deceased, was most certainly only performing his duty in a most praiseworthy and proper manner in endeavouring to arrest him, and if they should think that the prisoner wilfully discharged the pistol at him while so engaged, they would have no alternative but to find him guilty of wilful murder. The learned judge then went through the whole of the evidence most minutely, and concluded by leaving the case in the hands of the jury. The jury retired at five o'clock, and in about three quarters of an hour they returned and gar° a verdict of Guilty, coupled with a strong recommendation to mercy. The usual proclamation for silence was then made by Mr. Harker, and the prisoner was at once called up for judgment. Both the learned judges having put on the black cap, The Lord Chief Justice addressed the prisoner as fol lows : Emmanuel Barthelemy, the jury, after careful deliberation, have returned a verdict in your case in writing, which now lies before me, in these words : " We find the prisoner guilty, but strongly recommend him to the merciful consideration of the court and her most gracious Majesty the Queen." That is a verdict of guilty, and in that verdict I entirely concur, and I think that no twelve honest men of any country in the world could have given any other. The evidence was most clear. Knowing that you had committed a felo nious act, you were trying to escape from justice; and when Collard, the unfortunate deceased man, attempted to apprehend you, you deliberately and designedly put him to death. That, by the law of this country, is mur der ; and by the law of every civilised country such an act should be punished with death, fur it would be im possible for society to exist if the life of a person who endeavoured to apprehend a person guilty of crime of this character were allowed to be sacrificed with im punity by the guilty party. The deceased was only do ing his duty as a subject of the Queen and a good citi zen, but when he attempted to secure you, you delibe rately fired a pistol at him and destroyed Lis life. I will lay before her Majesty and her advisers the recom mendation of the jury, but at present I can do no more than pass the sentence of the law ; and I at the same time most earnestly entreat you to prepare to leave this world. I don't know upon what ground the recom mendation is given. I look upon your crime as one of great atrocity and without any mitigation. I will, how ever, lay that recommendation before the advisers of the Crown, but I exhort you to prepare to undergo the dreadful sentence which lam about to pass. It is quite clear that on this evening you committed two crimes of great magnitude, and I must say that upon the evidence relating to your attack upon Mr. Moore I cannot see any circumstances that would redace that crime below wilful murder. Having committed it, and knowing that you were justly pursued, you deliberately destroyed the life of the poor man Collard, totally regardless of the consequence to him or those depending upon him. I implore you therefore to repent—you will have the assistance of a clergyman of your own religious persua sion' m whatever that may be, in so doing, and I ent rea t you tote advantage of it. The learned judge con cluded by passing sentence of death in the usual form. The trial lasted nearly eight hours, and during the whole of that long period the prisoner, who is a most ferocious, repulsive-looking man, stood firm and erect in front of the bar, and did not betray the slightest emotion. He exhibited the most callous indifference while sentence was being passed, and when the learned judge had concluded he was heard to say something to one of the turnkeys, and then walked deliberately down the stairs leading from the dock. At the conclusion of the case Mr. Bodkin applied to the court to exercise the power vested in it to order a sttra of money to be paid t o th e widow of the unfortu nate man Collard. ono ord Chief Justice said it was as well it should apprehend a f b eas e ewher n e th aa t the court possessed the power in every to the wife, ran lost his life in the endeavour to be entitled to it. mother eto order a sum of money to be paid tild, or o th er re l a ti ve who might powe r i n th e " t present c _ s sho u ld certa i nly exercise the amount until he had further the condition of the family ofinlti° hut he should not fix the This trial concluded the bu t sin unfortunate deceased. he with regard to the court adjourned to m e -, _ _ , , e -n an csi 2 the session, and ""'Y d a, SURREY QUARTER SE SSIONS.--j an. 4. • I' MClll'lOll OF A POLICE CONSTAIILE FOIL !STEALII:G A I GOOSE. William Henry Wiggins Wilson, a constable of the P division of the metropolitan police, was indicted for stealing at Camberwell a live tame gooSe, the property Of Elizabeth Bates. Mr. Thomson prosecuted and Mr. Mack defended the prisoner. Prosecutrix, a single lady, said she resided in Cam berwell-grove, and on the night of the 13th ult. she bad securely fastened two grey geese and a grey and white one in her fowl house for fattening. At seven o'clock the following morning she missed the dark grey goose, which had a peculiar mark on its beak. (Ser geant Quinnear hers produced the head of a goose.) Witrums said that was the head of the one she missed, and she identified it on Thursday morning, the 14th of when brought to her. A pair o f bl ack worstedDceom b gloves er were found near the fowl-house, covered with down and email feathers. on n f the the pros e (: trix, said that at twenty . lVillilm Arnold, labourerm i i n nu t t h e e s e p m as p t lo t morn ingu a the ilth ultimo he went to hie work, and when THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 5, 1855. near the stable be heard a shuffling noise which appeared to proceed from the privy adjoining. The noise was repeated, and witness called out, " Who is there ?" A man answered bim, " Oh, it's only a bobby." (Laugh ter.) Believing that it was a policeman he did not take any more notice of the noise, but went into the stable and lighted a candle to go about his work. Thomas Arnold, son to last witness, said he went into the privy adjoining the stable at 7 o'clock on the same morning, when he found a pair of black worsted gloves such as worn by police constables. They were covered with feathers and a pair of kid gloves were inside of them. Witness took them to his mistress. Charles Enry, coachman to Alfred llosslyn, Esq., Camberwell terrace, adjoining the premises of the pro secutix, said about 20 minutes to 1 on Thursday after noon, the 14th ult., he picked up the head and portion of the neck of a grey goose on the lawn. He had heard of a goose being stolen, and he took the head to Miss Bates, who identified it. _ _ Mr: John Lund, superintendent of the P division •f the metropolitan police, said that the gloves in question were shown to him on Thhrsday morning, the 14th ult. They were covered with feathers, and had kid gloves inside of them. He received information of the rob bery, and went to the two constables on the beat and the adjoining one. He afterwards proceeded to the pri soner's house with Sergeant Quinnear, when his wife opened the door and admitted them. The prisoner came up from the kitchen, when witness entered to speak to him. Feathers were at the time adhering to his waistcoat and trowsers. Witness noticed hi 3 great coat hanging up covered with feathers also. He then asked the prisoner where his gloves were ? He replied in his hat. Witness took bis hat down and looked in it, but there were no gloves. The prisoner then said he had a pair with kid Hgloves inside, which he placed there to keep his hands warm. Sergeant Quinnear then went downstairs, when witness called out to him to look for the goose. The prisoner said he had a goose, but it had been given to him some.days ago. Quinnear brought a goose upstairs, when he told the prisoner that he must consider himself in his custody for stealina it. The prisoner had been in the police force about three months, having joined in August last. George Quinnear, police sergeant No. 1 P, said he ac companied his superintendent to the prisoner's house, between 10 and 11 on Thursday morning, the 14th ult. The prisoner's fingers and clothes were covered with grey goose feathers. The superintendent asked him what time he came off duty. He replied 5 o'clock, and that the gloves were in his hat. There were no gloves there. Witness searched the prisoner's house, and in the back kitchen h e f oun d a d ea d gooseparfially plucked, with the head off. He took possession of it, and all the feathers, and when at the police station he received the heed from the prosecutrix, and found it to correspond with the other portion of the goose. The prisoner was very violent when the goose was found, and attempted to rush out of the house, and they had to nee force to secure him. The premises of the prosecutrix were 200 yards off the prisoner's beat. James Grant, police sergeant 11 P, said that on Thursday morning, at 5 o'clock, the prisoner ought to have presented himself at the station-house with the other constables off duty at that time. He did riot make Lie appearance until 5 minutes after that time, when he told witness that he had been to call up a con stable for day duty. About a quarter to ten o'clock Miss Bates came to the station-house and gave informa tion of the robbery, at the came time handing witness a pair of gloves covered wish feathers. Witness ex amined the prisoner's rattle, and found spots of blood on it, and feathers adhering to it. Mr. Mack, on behalf of the prisoner, contended that there was no direct proof that the goose was stolen by him ; it might have been given to him after the rubbery by another person. As for the feathers: being over his clothes that was nothing, as he had a right to pluck his own goose. (Laughter.) The gloves being found did not show that they were his property. The Chairman in summing up the case said, the pri soner had not called any one to prove his lawful posses sion of the goose, and the gloves completely answered the description of his, which he said had kid gloves in side of them. He had no occasion to dwell with any length upon the case, as all-the combined circumstances told very much against him. The jury, without the least hesitation, returned a ver dict of guilty. The Chairman said that, after hearing all the evidence, they could come to no other conclusion than that he was guilty of the robbery. The proseoutrix here said that she lost three ducks a short time before, and the prisoner called upon her and toll her he knew that some boys had stolen them, lie was the thief all the time. The Chairman said it was a peculiarly bad case. The prisoner was appointed to protect the property of the public; instead of which he robbed the parties he was considered to protect against thieves. Strictly speak ing, the prisoner ought to be punished with penal servi tude, which he richly deserved ; but as it was an act of larceny he could not do so. He should, however, sen tence him to 12 months' hard labour in Wandsworth House of Correction. TWELVE MONTHS IN THE LIFE OF A DETECTIVE POLICEMAN. Yesterday, at Bow-street Police-court, Charles King, a police-constable of the C division, No. 39, who has been atached to the force several years, and has usually done duty in plain clothes, was brought up in custody of Inspector Durkin and Sergeant Langley, charged with having been, in a great number of cases, the accomplice of convicted thieves. During the detention of the prisoner at the police station, before the examination commenced, he made a desperate attempt to escape from the custody of the sergeant, but he was speedily overtaken and secured with the assistance of other officers. It was understood that the prosecution had been directed by the Police Commissioners, in consequence of certain disclosures which had been made from time to time by the young criminals confined in the House of Detention, several of whom were brought to the court under the charge of the prison officials to give evidence. A statement of the preliminary inquiry was handed up to the magistrate by Superintendent Pearce. John Reeves, a - well-dressed youth of some intelli gence apparently, was then examined. He said he was 14 years of age, and knew the nature of an oath, al though he never took one before. He knew that it bound him to speak the truth. Mr. Hall—But do you know what will happen to you if you tell a lie. Witness—l shall be punished. Mr. Hall—But I don't mean in this world ; I mean hereafter, in the world to come. Witness—Yes ; I shall offend in the eye of the Al mighty,_ Mr. Hall—Let him be sworn. Examination continued—l am now a prisoner in the Wadtminster Bricievvell. I was sent there on the 2d of May last. I was tried at the Westminster Sessions for picking pockets, and sentenced to two years' imprison ment. I know the prisoner King. He was a policeman. He first knew me as a pickpock e t. About this time last year I met him by appointment at the Luke's Head pub lic-house in Little Pulteney-street. Two otherboys were with me, named Donovan and A rren d on . H e sa id h e would show us a piece where we could get some money —a place where there were lots of ladies. It was a few days after Christmas. King went with us through Berkeley square to the Serpentine, in 113ele-park. Kirg pointed out lady to me is Berkeley-street, and I picked her pocket. I got a purse containing 31. 15a., all gold except ss. King told me that he knew I should get a skin from her. I got it by putting my hand into her dress. I gave the money to King, as well as two other purses which I succeeded in getting from ladies, one just before and one afterwards. The money was equally divided between King, me, and the two other boys, about an hour after, at a public house where we took refreshments. After this we went to the Serpentine, and King took us up to the bridge, where a great many ladies and gentlemen were looking over at the skating which was going on there. He said there were plenty of people there that I might get something from. He painted with his stick to a lady and gentleman who were leaning over the bridge, and I and the other boys went up to them. I picked the lady's pocket of a purse containing half a so vereign and 7s. King was about four yards off at the time, and saw me do it. He then beckoned to us with his stick, and when we were a little way off he took the purse from me, emptied it, and put it into the hole of a tree. Ho gave the money to Donovan to mind till we could get some more. He told us it would not be safe to stop any longer on the bridge, but said we might do something under the bridges, where there were a great many people under the arches. We wont down there, sad I picked a lady's pocket of a handful of loose silver. I did not count it, but passed it over to Donovan. I could net do anything more there. King said it was a measley sort of place, and it was no use stopping. The money was divided about 7 o'clock the same evening at a public house in Chelsea. It was the large public-house oppo site the cab stand, about three doors from Sloane-street. Donovan and the other boy were much older than me. I was never tried for any of these offences. I first men tioned them about a mouth ago to Mr. Lawrence, one of the officers of the prison. I mentioned some things about King to one of the visiting magistrates. I was never promised any reward or forgiveness for what I told, and never expect any. The next day after going up to the Serpentine we met again, by King's desire, at the Luke's Head, and he took us to a bank, at the corner of a street, in Pall-mall. Donovan and Arren don stopped two or three ladies there, but I could not get anything from them. Mr. Hall—lt seems that you were always selected to pick the pockets. Was that because you were con sidered the most expert hand ? pithle thearlew."ls lgoootkainfluiri°l Witness—Yes ; I was more up to it, and had the smallest hand.

King shared that money with me and the other boys. It was about six weeks before I was taken. I picked from about one to five pockets per day generally. Mr. Hall—What did you do with your share of the mo ne y? —_ _ - Witness—l did not keep it by me. I used to give it to Mr. Dunn, a tallow-chandler, who keeps a shop in Short's-gardens. I have given him as much as 171. at one time. I took the money to him because the other boys did the same. I always had it back again when I wanted it. Mr. Hall—How did YOU spend all this money, then ? At penny theatres, I suppose Witness—Oh, no. At Astley's and Drury-lane. I laid some of it out in clothes, and so forth. Mr. Burnaby—And didn't you buy a horse ! Witness—l bought a pony at Smithfield for 51. 155., and kept it for about six months, riding about with it. Mr. Hail—Where did you usually ride ? Witness—ln the Park, mostly. (Great laughter.) I kept the pony standint, in the Angel-yard, Broadway, and paid 2s. 6d. a week for it. I fed it myself. I sold the pony for rather less than I gave for it. I had been a thief two years before I was apprehended. I hare a mother, but I left her. Cross-examined by prisoner's attorney—l knew King six months before January, 1854. The time when I first went out with him I knew he was a policeman. Another boy in the prison first told the visiting magistrate about me and King. Mr. never knew a more important inquiry than this. If there is any truth in the statement we have heard to-day (and I understand it is supported by other evidence), it is one of the most frightful cases •f delinquency that can well be imagined. That one ap- pointed to protect the public should be so associated with these young thieves—aiding, abetting, and pro fiting by their clime —seems hardly creditable ; and yet I am informed that similar disclosures have been wade by, other boys. It is( due to the public that the mat ter should be thoroughly sifted, and I trust the autho rities will deem it of sufficient importance to engage the services of some professional gentleman to conduct the prosecution, • Superintendent Pearce said that he would convey his worship's opinion to the proper quarter. Two of the prisoner's companions and three other boys had been brought from the Bridewell to give evidence if required. Mr. Hall—You have shown enough for a remand, and I think the inquiry had better be adjourned for a week. The offence charged is so heinous in its charac ter that I hope no exertion will bo spared to ensure its proper management. The prisoner (who said nothing to the charge) was then remanded fur fiirther examination. It may be added that the prisoner is the officer who was concerned in an extraordinary case heard before Mr. Jardine, at Bow-street, on the 25th Oat. last, and reported at length in our paper of the following day. On that occasion a servant girl was charged with con cealing the birth of an illegitimate child, and a lady named Butler, the girl's mistress, accused the officer of having conspired with the girl and another person to extort 201. from her to prevent the disclosure of circumstances which were alleged to implicate her as au accessory on the occasion. SPURTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAT. DEB BT. The decline of Oulston to 20 to 1 laid to 1001. was the only important movement in the bettin4 this afternoon. 10 to 1 was taken to 1001. about St. Hubert, 22 to 1 to a small sum about Cruiser, 1,000 to 35 twice about Polydore, and 1,000 to 15 seven times about Rambling Katie, TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS.. ' St. Hubert was backed for 1001. at 4 to I. It is a remarkable fact that the Chester Cup was not touched upon. The room was very thinly attended. DERBY STEEPLECHASES, Feb. 13.

When the minister asked the sponsor to "name the child," the answer was " Inkerman •" and when he took the second, asking the same question, the answer was •` Alma." The former was a boy, and the latter a girl, and their genuine military mother wished them to bear the names of the great battles which their father had witnessed cm his march to Selmstopol.
