Punchbox was afterwards sold by auction for 51 guineas. BETTING ON THE COURSE. DIOR HANDICAP. 9 to 1 asst Homily (taken). RACES.—Aua. 13. • the TRIAL STAKES. One 16 subs.)

The Great Britain screw steam transport, No. 187, Captain Grey, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the East. She left Malta July the 25th, and Gibraltar Au gust the Ist. On the 31st ult., in lat 36.8, long. 4•55. signalled the steam transport Zebra ; on the 4th inst., in lat. 40.37, long. 10•16, signalled the steam-ship Rajah ; on the sth, in lat. 43 . 1, long. 9 . 33, signalled the ship Walter Scott. She has brought home from Scutari, Major Anderson, Royal Artillery, in military charge of invalids ; Major Mills, of the 7th Regiment ; Major Gordon, of the 93d ; Major Grimstone, of the Turkish Contingent ; Lieutenant-Colonel Douglas, of the 79th ; Captains Elliot and Burnand, of the sth Dragoon Guards ; Lieutenant Harman, of the 34th; Lieutenant Spaight, of the 31st ; Captain Sullivan, of the Turkish Contingent ; Messrs. Fosbery (Deputy-Assistant-Com missary General), Rust, Gardener, and Watts (hospital dresser) ; Mrs. Booth, 9 seamen and firemen, 169 in valided soldiers, 8 women, and 6 children. The Tinning steam transport, Captain Franklin, steamed into Ports mouth harbour yesterday morning to land stores and baggage from the East. The Blake and the Progress transports went into Portsmouth harbour yesterday. The Glatton floating battery, Captain Cumming, is to have a new rudder. The Meteor, 16, steam battery, took in coals yesterday at Spithead. The steam transport Rajah, Captain Burn, arrived at Spithead yesterday af ternoon from the East. She left Balaklava on the 14th of July, Constantinople the 19th, Malta the 25th, and Gibraltar August 1. On the 6th she exchanged colours with the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Na vigation Company's steam-ship Indus, in the Bay of Biscay, in lat. 45'20 N., long. 7 . 50 W., bound for Alex andria. Captain Agar, Royal Artillery, is the only pas senger by the Rajah. No invalids. The barque Ocean Gem brought up at Spithead yesterday afternoon, and was afterwards towed into Portsmouth harbour for re pairs, having sustained serious damage from collision with a large American ship off Portland yesterday morning at 3 o'clock. The screw steam-ship Simoom, 18, Captain Sullivan, which arrived at Plymouth on Monday, is gone into the steam yard at Keyham to discharge her old boilers and machinery. The steam-ship Transit, with artillerymen and horses, which put into Plymouth Sound on Monday with ma chinery damaged, sailed therefrom on Tuesday evening for Balaklava. A great many testimonials have been forwarded referring to Mrs. Margaret Disney, late a nurse in the Crimea, who arrived a few days ago at Portsmouth, in the transport Saldanba, from Balaklava. These tes timonials are from officers, soldiers, medical men, and the crew of the Saldanba, and they all speak in the highest terms of the attention paid to the sick and wounded by Mrs. Disney, on board the transport as well as in the Crimea, where she had to suffer her full share of privations and dangers. The public have ap preciated the valuable services rendered by the nurses in the Crimea, and such testimonials as these prove how consoling and important these services have been to the sick and wounded. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Ripon, Captain Cooper, Transport No. 25, will embark this day at Southampton troops for the Crimea. They will consist of about 1,000 of the German Legion, who will be conveyed as far as Malta, from which place the Ripon will immediately return. Intelligence has been forwarded to the officials at Southampton to prepare the Royal mail steam-ship Trent, Transport No. 94, for the reception of two officers, 94 men, and 114 horses of the Royal Artillery, on Monday and Tuesday next. Colonel Crofton, of the Turkish Legion, also leaves by this departure. The Trent took on board yesterday a large portion of the corn and bay for the voyage. At 6 a m. yesterday the first division of the 25th Re giment (King's Own Borderers) arrived at Chatham Bar racks from Gravesend, consisting of 7 officers, 15 ser geants, 6 drummers, and 206 rank and file, with 16 women, and 25 children, under command of Major S. B. Hamilton, with the undernamed officers :—Capt George Bent, Capt. Charles D. Pogson, Lieut. J. H. Harvey, i Lieut. G. S. Hallowes, Lieut. H. S. Brown, Ensign C. G. Harrison, and Surgeon W. S. Whylock. The regi ment has been on foreign service about 15 years. It has about 700 effective bayonets. The above division em barked at Cannanore on the 18th of April last on board the ship Cheapside, Capt. Lid ley, which after a passage of 109 days dropped anchor opposite Gravesend about 9 p.m. on Tuesday. During the voyage the oivision only lost two men—privates Wood and Phillips. 1 Staff-assistant Surgeon Black and Assistant-Surgeon G. Palatians, medical officer from the Garrison Hospital, [ Chatham, left yesterday morning for embarkation. The former gentleman proceeds to Southampton to embark for the East, and the latter goes to Liverpool to embark on board the ship Andus for Malta. The troops belonging to the consolidated cavalry depot at Canterbury, consisting of the Ist Royal Dragoons and the 6th Inniskillen Dragoons, underwent a general in spection yesterday by the Inspector-General of Cavalry, the Earl of Cardigan, who was accompanied by Colonel Cotton and another inspecting officer. Although the rain descended in torrents almost incessantly during the whole time the men went through the movements of a field-day ; their kits were also thoroughly inspected by his lordship, who pointed out many deficiencies, and articles that were not suited for the Crimean ser- -.... .. .... vice, which his lordship ordered to be remedied. The stables and horses were then inspected, and subsequently the school and hospitals. At the con clusion of the inspection Lord Cardigan, observing a farrier of the Inniskillens with the Crimean riband, inquired if he was wounded ? The farrier replied in the affirmative. "Did I see you at Scutari ?" rejoined his lordship. " Yes, my lord," was the answer. " Did you get any of the money I left there for you ?" " No, my lord." " Why, I left 1001. to be distributed among you ; did you not get any ?" " No, my lord," was the reply of the wounded soldier, " nor have I been able to get the money that I left in the country yet, my lord." Colonel Cotton said there were many similarly situated, but they would get it by and by. Lord Cardigan then left, and the troops were dismissed to their quar:iers. MILI I: lA. Major-General Eden and Major Nasmyth proceeded to Carlow on Monday to inspect the Kildare Rifles in that garrison. Lord Seaton, Commander of the Forces in Ireland, was also expected to arrive in Carlow on Tuesday. The various depot battalions throughout Ireland have received orders to send out draughts for their respective regiments to Malta, to the number of 960 men and 64 officers. Of these a draught of 50 men and 8 officers of the 55th Regiment will leave Templemore immediately. A large number of young men have arrived in Water ford, being volunteers from the Lancashire Regiment of Militia, for the 50th Regiment of the line. REVIEW OF THE FOREIGN LEGION AT SLIORNCLIFFE BY THE QUEEN. DOVER, Aug. B.—The unpropitious state of the wea ther hag, as was anticipated, caused some changes in the programme of her Majesty's route from Osborne, men tioned yesterday. Intelligence was received at an early hour this morning that her Majesty would embark from Osborne to•morrow in the Royal yacht, and would pro ceed to Portsmouth instead of to Folkestone. A special train will be ready at Portsmouth at 9 30 a.m. to con vey the Royal party to Folkestone, via the South Coast and South-Eastern lines. The train will arrive at Folke stone at about 12, noon, and the Royal carriage will be in waiting there to convey the august party to Shorn cliffe. Every preparation, as far as the short time at the disposal of the authorities would admit, has been made to fit up the messroom at the camp, in which to receive her Majesty and the illustrious party who will accompany her; It is not stated whether her Majesty will return by railway to Portsmouth and thence take the sea to Osborne; but, as there is still a tolerably heavy head-sea rolling in the Channel, it is probable that the railway will be preferred. The weather has been extremely variable to-day. At one time a clear and almost cloudless sky has given promise of a bright to-morrow ; but half an hour's interval has brought with it heavy showers, accom panied by thunder, which has led many to believe that the interesting event at Folkestone would be post poned. By the kind and provident arrangements of her Majesty, however, her subjects of Dover and Folke stone and the adjacent places will, without doubt, have the pleasure of welcoming her Majesty at Shozncliffe to-morrow. The unusual nature of the event and the rarity of a royal visit to this part of the coast have natu rally caused great excitement, not only in Dover and Folkestone and their immediate neighbourhood, but in nearly the whole county. It is expected that the means of conveyance at the disposal of the railway company will be severely taxed, and the old and antiquated ve hicles with which Dover is plagued will many of them reap an unexpected and golden harvest. Nearly all the hotels in Dover are full, and we hear that almost fa bulous prices have been given to secure beds in some of the hotels at Folkestone and Sandgate. The Swiss Legion, as mentioned yesterday, will travel by special train, which will commence running at 9.30. The trains are to run as close as possible to the camp, at a spot between Folkestone and Hythe. The troops, in conse quence of this admirable arrangement, will arrive fresh and ready for the review. We believe that it is not the intention of her Majesty to proceed to Dover. CHAEGI OF MURDER AT SALFORD.—Yesterday morn• ing a man named George Booth was brought before Mr, Trafford, magistrate, Salford, charged with beating and killing Grace Beaumont, a woman who had been living with him as his wife. The evidence adduced was to the effect that the prisoner and deceased lived in Chapel street, and about two o'clock on the previous day the prisoner was seen beating her outside the front door. He had hold of her by the hair of the head, and pulled her into the house. Whilst pulling her by the hair he was seen to kick her on the stomach. When he got her into the house he ordered some persons who were at- tracted by sympathy for the woman to the spot to be off, _ pm.

The Music Master : a Love Story. And Two Series of Day and Night Songs. By William Allingham. G. Routledge and Co. William Allingham—whoever he may be, for, to us, he is but as a name upon a title-page—is a true poet. An entire stranger to ourselves though he may yet remain, we welcome him, nevertheless, with the cordiality due to one who has spoken to our heart of hearts, through the dulcet tones, and ten der cadences, and exquisite modulations of that grand old language familiar to every lettered Eng lishman—" the tongue that Shakspere spake"—a language only fully audible when breathed through the lips of genius—a language the music of which has proved so wondrously variable in its harmo nious adaptability from the days of old Geoffrey Chaucer down to those of Alfred Tennyson. We welcome Mr. Allingham not as the favourite of a coterie—not as the treasure trove of a clique—but as any unknown minstrel might have been wel comed in the age of romance had he struck the chords of his harp in unison with the vibrations of the heart-strings of his auditors, or as any unrecog nised knight must have been welcomed in the age of chivalry had he borne his crest bravely over his closed vizor through the crashing lances and gleaming swords of a tournament. From the evidence presented to us in these pages we should conjecture that the author of them is still young—that he is a Catholic—and that he is an Irishman. We have already declared him to be in our estimation a poet—no mere versifier,—but a poet—non fit sed nascitur. His volume has large promise of future excellence, but with this it has also excellence of its own already accomplished. As lovers of poetry we exult over the promise, and are justified in so doing because we can discover reason even now to rejoice over the accomplish ment. Mr. Allingham first appeared as a candidate for honours in poetic literature five years ago, when in 1850 a volume was issued from the press, which has been since modestly withdrawn from publication. Last summer a smaller collection of fugitive pieces from the same pen made its appear ance. And at length these two preliminary 'ventures have ripened or effloresced into this mature perform ance. A charming little book of some 220 pages, gracefully embellished by artists who have " sub mitted their genius to the risks of wood-engraving" —painters no less gifted, and of no less eminence than Hughes, and Millais, and Rosetti. The dainti ness, the sweetness, the melody, gathered up like the song of a bird in a rose bush in this beautiful grouping together of the results of pictorial art and poetical nature, are symbolised aptly enough in the little vignette on the title-page, representing the books, the flute, and the flower. Already, we doubt not, but that by many readers several of the " Day and Night Songs " of William Allingham will be recognised as old favourites. Such, for example, as the nursery song of " The Fairies," the tiny, goblin, elfine sprites of the sod and the moonbeams . . . " Wee folk, good folk, Trouping all together ; Green jacket, red cap, And white owl's feather !" Or the piquant coquetting—across the street-- with the " Venus of the needle"—who'll . . . " —Bless the youth whom love shall bring, And happy stars embolden ; To change the dome into the ring— The silver into golden !" Everybody, for instance, who has sauntered through the cool shade of the sculptor-room of the Royal Academy, admiring the grand head of a truer lyrist than Alton Locke—Gerald Massey, tailor and poet —will remember Munro's " rendering" of the Lover's Walk, as su ggested by that tender fancy of Mr. Allingham in his delicious quatrains on the " Wayside Well :" " When a laddie brings her pail Down the twilight meadow, Tender falls the whisper'd tale, Soft the double shadow !" But among all these country songs for Day and Night, commend us to the one, set to an Irish tune—a song that none but a true Irish poet could have written, celebrating the graces and the paces of " Lovely Mary Donelly" " Oh, lovely Mary Donelly, it's you I love the best ! If fifty girls were round you, I'd hardly see the rest. The dance of last Whit-Monday night exceeded all before, No pretty girl for miles about was missing from the floor ; But Mary kept the belt of love, and 0 but she was gay ! She danced a jig, she sang a song that took nay heart away. When she stood up for dancing her steps were so complete, The music nearly killed itself to listen to her feet ; The fiddler moan'd his blindness, he heard her so much praised, But blessed himself he wasn't deaf when once her voice she raised. O lovely Mary Donelly, your beauty's my distress, It's far too beauteous to be mine, but I'll never wish it less." - - Why, a song like this weighs more in the balance to our minds and hearts than all the spasmodic grandiloquence that Professor Aytoun, wicked wag that he is, sang with so - soporific a lullaby into Lethe through the mocking echoes of his " Firmilian." But the jewel of the book before us—girdled by its filagree setting of the " Day and Night Songs "—the central gem of all, we have not yet mentioned—the principal poem of the collec tion, " The Music Master." It is " A Love Story —a simple, homely tale enough—the theme of a ballad—a village romance about the loves and the lives of poor little Milly and young Gerald White, the music master. The story might be told almost in two minutes, so few and so plain are the inci dents related in it. Yet, in the telling of it,llllWil liam Allingham has struck the chords of his harp— our heartstrings—so deftly that the sounds seem to call the tears up into his voice as he sings, and into our eyes as we listen—and we lay the tale that is told aside at last only to revert to it often, and very tenderly, afterwards, remembering the song and the singer, as we do the thought of some dear friend and the token of some cherished friend ship. Yet the Love Story of the Music Master is not without its faults either, when considered with anything like critical acumen :—Sister Ann we cannot but deem maligned without apparent reason of any appreciable kind whatsoever—Gerald's first departure remains to the last moment altogether unexplained—Milly's premature death appears even now when we think of it entirely and bewilderingly incomprehensible. Nevertheless, enough for every blemish of the poem when these passing exceptions to it have been pronounced. Otherwise " The Music Master"—the poetic gem in its setting of Day and Night Songs—remains, to our judgment, " one entire and perfect Chrysolite." How ex quisitely, and with what a loving hand, how very tenderly and delicately, Mr. Allinghan pencils the form and features of his heroine : " White lily,—Milly,—darling little girl ! I think I see as once I saw her stand ; Her soft hair waving in a single curl Behind her ear ; a kid licking her hand ; Her fair young face with health and racing warm, And loose frock blown about her slender form. " The dizzy lark, a dot on the white cloud, That sprinkles music on the vernal breeze, Was not more gay than Milly's joyous mood ; ig,glsilftethe birds, The silent lark that starry twilight sees Cradled among the braird in closest bower, Not more quiescent than her quiet hour. " Her mind was open as a flowery cup That gathers richness from the sun and dew, To knowledge, and as easily drew up The wholesome sap of life ; unwatch'd it grew, A. lovely blossom in a shady place ; And like her mind so was her innocent face." Such was Milly as she appeared to her lover in the early morning of her girlhood. Later oa we see her, when . . . " Her silky locks have ripened into brown, Her soft blue eyes grown deeper and more shy, And lightly on her lifted head the crown Of queenly maidenhood sits meek and high ; Her frank soul lives in her ingenuous voice, Most purely tuned to sorrow or rejoice." Of Gerald we hear at the very outset— " The boy's whole thought to music lean'd and sway'd ; He heard a minor in the wind at night, And many a tune the village noises played ; ChoirYe c el lei tenderness ii i fe h s e s The thunder roar'd like bands before the might Of marching armies ; in deep summer calni,, The falling brooklet: would intone a psalm.

No. XXIII. and XXIV. By W. M. Thackeray. Mr. Thackeray never wrote anything worthier of the admiration of hi s rea d ers — m eaning, nowa days, the million—than this double number, which brings hiA noble serial story of " The Newcomes" to a conclusion. We linger over it tenderly and regretfully. Unwilling to be persuaded that all is over in regard to that narr a ti ve , among w hose fluctuating incidents we have wandered so pleasantly during the last two years, we are fain still to believe ourselves observant of one of the severer crises in the progress of its vicissitudes rather than spectators of its actual termination. Yet in spite of all our wishes to the contrary, it is to us now but as a tale that is told. We must close the last page of the last volume. It is finished. It is completed. We have, as it were, in our hands, the catalogue of births, deaths, and marriages. Among the births, those of children to Clara, to Rosey, to Laura, and to lesser heroines in the fic tion, leaving ue marvelling over the sorrowful ex clamation of the Duc d'lvry to his poor good matured little oddity of a wife—" A.h ! pour- . quoi n'en avons-nous pas, Jeanne ? pourquoi. nen n'avons-nous pas ?" Among the deaths those of grim old Lady Kew, of cordial James Binnie, of heartless little Rosey, of our gentle, noble, knightly, "preux chevalier, et parfait gentilhomme," Colonel Thomas Newcome. Among the marriages, besides the ill-starred nuptialsof Clive and Rosey, of Barnes and Clara, of the last mentioned again (when divorced), with her first flame Jack Belsize, Lord Highgate—besides these we say, and the union of Lord Kew with Clara's sister, and that of M. de Florae with a daughter of the house of Higges, of Manchester, and that of Sir Barnes with somebody else (name unknown), whom we are told, though we need scarcely have been so incited, to hope with the author that she avenges every one 'by bullying the Baronet, her husband—beyond all these, we say, the tardy but inevitable knitting together in wedlock of the lives and fortunes of Clive and Ethel. Yes—all our anticipations, aspirations, hopes, desires, in their regard have been to the full at last most hap pily realised. Rosey, as we have remarked, dies —she dies in childbirth, through a paroxysm of rage, jealousy, chagrin, despondency, and indig nation. Clive is left for a while to lavish all his tenderness upon his little one—" Boy," otherwise " Tommykin"—but not long afterwards is per mitted to share that love with another, the darling of his boyhood, of his youth, of his maturer years, Ethel, once the gay, now the gentle, the tender, the loving, the love-worthy, always the noble-hearted, noble-minded, still the beautiful. They are united at last, but only when the great joy of their union is saddened inexpres sibly by the knowledge that the noblest soul in all the world is taken from them—the kindly, the brave, the simple, the lofty spirit animating the beloved familiar form of the grand old Colonel. What appears to us the distinguishing peculiarity of " The Newcomes"—which, by the way, with all our admiration for " Vanity Fair," and all our love for " Arthur Pendennis," we are fain to regard as Mr. Thackeray's undoubted masterpiece—is the circumstances that among its dramatis personce there are so many creations so entirely loveable. There is queer, honest old Fred Bayham, for example—faithful friend to the very last, through all his preposterous eccentricities. Even vulgar, hospitable Mr. Sherrick, wine mer chant and bill-discounter, has a dash of hu man cordiality in his coarse hebrew-cockney nature, that admits him to no small share in the ample disbursements of our friendship. Then again how sufficiently can we speak, in terms of affec tionate regard of our cherished favourites of old — Arthur Pendennis, and his Fidus Achates of the Temple, glorious George Warrington ; and asso ciated with them our delightful, and inimitable, and altogether incomparable M. Paul de Florac, Due d'lvry and Prince de Montcontour. Nor have we lost our remembrance of the manly, gentle heart of the young Earl of Kew, or of the noble qualities, blended with all the bluuderings and peccadillos of poor, erring Jack Belsize. But with them, and above them all, how can we speak in terms of ade quate tenderness of our gallant and noble Clive, and of that paragon' of the whole book— the epitome of the every excellence of a gentleman—Colonel Thomas Newcome ? Colonel Newcome we regard henceforth in English Litera ture as one among the foremost in that list of worthies among whom must ever be enumerated the Sir Roger de Coverley of Steele and Addison, the Parson Adams of Fielding, the Uncle Toby of Sterne, the Doctor Primrose of Goldsmith, the Austin Caxton of Lytton, the Tom Pinch of Dickens—names beloved and honoured whenever thought of, and thought of often with a kind of romantic tenderness, memories henceforth to be associated in our regard with the loving recollec tion of the Colonel Newcome of Thackeray. As we have in other words already intimated, the double number now before us, terminating the story of the Newcomes, is the very crown and. flower of the whole serial. There are scenes described, and incidents related in it, that, to our thinking, are in their way veritably wonderful. As, for example, the scene descriptive of the sud den appearance of Ethel in the family group of the Clive Newcomes, or as in the homely incidents of that memorable morrow of Christmas, upon which Clive's wrath descends at last upon that fiend of a woman the Campaigner. The death-bed scene in the poor Cistercian brother's room, where the Colonel beats time on the counterpane to the clink ing of the chapel bell, and then, as it ceases, cries " Adsum !" breathing his last as he utters the old schoolboy response—" and 10, he, whose heart was as that of a little child, bad answered to his name, and stood in the presence of the Master." All this is entirely exquisite. So exquisite, so true, so natural, so eloquent, that we close the volume, not without a pang at parting from it—looking forward to the time when we may resume, under the shadow of these yellow leaves, our privileged. commune with the author of " Vanity Fair," and " Pendennis," and " The Newcomes," a writer whose genius has embalmed his name in our hearts in the conserving aromatics of our gratitude and our admiration. TAILORS' LABOUR _AGENCY. gfinthaetehlenninamg.e of Mr Yesterday, according to annual custom, nearly 200 persons of both sexes connected with the Tailors' Labour Agency—an institution founded by Mr. Dunn, in New ington-causeway, a few years ago at his own risk, but which has proved of the greatest advantage to a nume rous body of workers—dined together at the Rye House. As some of our readers may be unacquainted with the objects of the agency, we will give a slight sketch of its objects. The design of the Tailors' Labour Agency is to conduct its business on a principle which will be fair to the producer, the distributor, and the consumer of the article—a principle by means of which the customer may obtain all he ought to desire for his money, and the workmen all he is entitled to for his labour. It is c alled a Labour Agency, because the employer merely occu pieseez the position of a distributor, and, standing between the the customer and the workman, renders to article, an account of the price charged onfitesac To put and a fair proportion of the p 8 , r g " s'ystem, care an end to what is termed the • o , rk than he is has been in T best pr g oof of their benevo aisblteakteonptehraiot rnmohpimersseolnf. recehive4s::mwao-reentoiWy operation six years, able of accommodating 200 up a commodious hall, as a lent purposes and their school during the day std as persons, which is used aeinrdscutahcpec es s i s that they have fitted.

After dinner, supported by Mr. Mason and complimentary toasts ha been the usual , loyal r Edwards proposed the toast having; • given , _M ros . • of the evening, • `F parity to the Tailors' Labour Agency," which was most enthusiattic 11 Mr. a y responded to. In the course of Edwards's observations, he remarked that the ave rage weekly earnings of first-class men in the winter months was from 1/. 7s. to 1/. 15s. ; of the second class, from 18s. to 1/. 7s. In the summer the first-class men earned per week 1/. 15s. to 2/. 45., while the next class realised 1/. 'Ts. to 1/. 12s.—the maximum of the winter glircotounirerdsuwrine being only the minimum of the summer. Mr. Dunn, in sketching out the various objects he had in view, stated that one of the first importance was to secure about five acres of freehold land in a healthy spot, a short distance from town, for the erection of a workshop and houses for the workers ; and also, that it had been resolved to enlarge the reading-room and otherwise to improve the institution. The announcement of each of the proposi tions was loudly cheered. After dinner the whole com pany partook of tea, and the evening's amusements ter minated with a dance. The whole of the proceedings were extremely gratifying, and were characterised by a sense of order and propriety highly creditable to all per sona present, and which must have proved a source of unalloyed pleasure to its philanthropic founder.
