This important case, which has recently been fully argued and determined in the Court of Exchequer, and fully re ported in The Sun, came before the Court this morning on appeal from the judgment of that Court, which, it will be recollected, was divided in opinion, but in order to give an opportunity of moving for an appeal Baron Piggott with drew his judgment. On the case being called on, Sir Hugh Cairns objected to the power of the Court of Exchequer to allow an appeal, and insisted that there was no appeal from that Court in matters in which the revenue side of the Court was con cerned, and argued that the Legislature never contemplated there should be an appeal in error. The Attorney-General, at great length, insisted upon the right of the Crown to appeal. Sir H. Cairns, in his reply, persisted in his objection, and said that his learned friend, in the course of his argument, had only strengthened him in his opinion that nothing could be said against the proceedings to which he had de murred. At the conclusion of the arguments, The Lord Chief Justice said the Court would give its judgment on Monday. POLICE INTELLIGENCE -t-This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A GROSS IxtrosTou.—Andrew M‘Lean, well known to the Mendicity Society officers, having been several times convicted of felony and begging, was charged before Mr. Knox with endeavouring to obtain charitable contributions by false and fraudulent pretences from Viscount Temple town, residing at No. 27, George-street, Hanover-square. It appears the prisoner went to his lordship's house and gave a letter to the butler, purporting to come from the Rey, Mr. Soames, of the vicarage, Greenwich, stating that Mrs. Wilson (to whom an enclosed memorial related) was known to him. His lordship sent the memorial back to the prisoner, but retained the letter, in tending, if on inquiry he found the statements contained in the memorial to be true, to assist the person. The letter was then taken to the Men dioity Society, and a description given of the prisoner, and yesterday Horsford and Fryer took the prisoner into cus tody at Westminster, charging him with having obtained a sovereign from a gentleman at Camberwell, and endeavour. ing to obtain some money from Viscount Templetown. On the way to the station the prisoner said he supposed he should have another three months. In answer to Mr. Knox, Horsford said he was certain the letter was not written by Mr. Soames. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner at the request of Hors ford, at the same time stating that Mr. Soames could then be in attendance. The prisoner was then remanded. WESTMINSTER. UNHAPPY CONDITION OF PARENTS.—A respectable• looking man, who appeared overwhelmed with care, be. sought the magistrate's assistance under the following dis• tressing circumstances:— Applicant said that his child, a girl of very tender years, had absconded from her home in the country a few days ago. Her absence caused very much anxiety, and he came to London in search of her. After diligent inquiry he found her last night, and he said she had probably been saved from ruin by the kind interference of the police, who had found her in very bad company. Mr. Howard, an inspector of the B Division, said that a few days ago he saw the child in question. He met her at three in the morning in Grosvenor-row, Pimlico, in com pany with a prostitute, when, observing that she appeared strange and timid, he considered it his duty to make some inquiries about her, and accordingly had tier taken to the station, where he found that she had come from Sheerness. He took her to the workhouse so that she might be pro tected from harm. Mr. Selfe (to the father)—What do you want me to do for the child ? The father—l want you to rescue her from ruin by putting her into a reformatory. Mr. Selfe—What is her age P The father—She will be thirteen in August. Mr. Selfe—lf a child refuses to obey her parents, a magis trate may send her to an industrial school, but she must be under 12 years of age. The father—She has formed some bad acquaintances at Sheerness, and I have no control over her. Mr. Selfe—There is, under the Act of Parliament, a power vested in magistrates to send a child under fourteen to an industrial school if the parents will pay fo; their main tenance. Will you do so? The father—Unfortunately, I cannot. I have a wife and four other children, and my pay is only is 5d per day. Mr. Selfe—l have no power to help you unless she is brought here and charged. I cannot go beyond the law. She must be charged with felony, with begging, with wan dering abroad having no home, or, in the alternative, the parents must maintain them. I am very sorry for you, but that is all I can say. THAMES. A VERY BAD CASE.—John Warner, a crim2, who has lost his left hand, and is one of the most disorderly fellows that ever troubled the police, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and attempting to stab two police-constables. Macdonald, 102 H, said the prisoner was making a dis turbance in Duck-street, Whitechapel, last night, at a quarter before 12 o'clock. There were a number of boys and others about him. They were laughing and shouting. He requested tho prisoner to leave the street and go home, and warned him if he did not do so he would have to go to the station-house. The prisoner said he would not go away, and suddenly took a knife from his right sleeve, uttered dreadful oaths and imprecations, and attempted to stab him. He jumped on one side, and narrowly missed the knife. He then got behind the prisoner, ant with the assistance of another constable pulled the prisoner down and took him into custody. The prisoner repeatedly kicked at him, and was exceedingly violent, James Stroud, 147 H, confirmed the last witness, and said that Macdonald very narrowly escaped being stabbed. The prisoner had been often in custody, and was one of the most disorderly characters in the district. The prisoner —I was drunk last night. I dont recollect what happened. Mr. Paget said this was a very bad case indeed, and the prisoner might think himself fortunate he had not murdered the police-constable. If the prisoner had carried his deadly intentions into effect he would have had to answer a charge affecting his life. He (Mr. Paget) did not intend to dispose of this case summarily. The prisoner had been punished for a similar outrage before, and was a very dan gerous character. He committed the prisoner for trial. Fire at the South Down Powder Works. PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY, 10.30 A.M. This morning, about 8 o'clock, a fire, accompanied by a very slight explosion, took place at the Blasting Powder Works, near Millbrook, Hamoaze. Signal was immediately made from the flag-ship Adelaide, and her boat and fire-engines, with those of the Canopus, Cambridge, St. George, Indus, &c., in charge of about 600 men proceeded to South Down, removed most of the stores to a place of safety, and suppressed the fire. It originated in the packing room, which, with the drying room and their contents (many tons of blasting powder), are de stroyed. One of the workmen, named Macdonald, is injured, and Lane, an able seamen belonging to the Canopus, had his arm burnt, in consequence of a spark falling on two trays of powder which he was endeavouring to save. THE WEATHER AND THE PARKS, The intense cold which has prevailed in the metropolis during the last two days and nights has, to a very great extent, dispelled the idea that the present winter would be as mild as its predecessor, as not only have there been some very severe frosts, but on Thursday night, for the first time this winter, there was a fall of snow, which though of short duration, was sufficient to cover the ground to the depth of between three and four inches. The fall of snow commenced about 11 o'clock at night, and lasted for about half an hour. It was then succeeded by a most intensefrost, which made the roads and paths slippery and very danger ous. Several accidents were reported during the day, through the slippery nature of the roads, and in one case a man named James Thompson, aged about 60 years, while driving a four-wheeled vehicle down the Gray's-inn-road, was, through the horse falling, precipitated to the ground, and sustained most severe injuries, which, at six o'clock last night, terminated in his death. Other serious accidents have been reported. Yesterday the wind, accompanied by heavy sleet, blew in blinding gusts from the north, and the frost continuing there can be little doubt, if it should last for two or three more days, that the scene of last month on the various pieces of ornamental water in the Royal parks will be revived. _ _ The prognostications of tho weather seem already to im ply that it will be severe. The various pieces of water were yesterday afternoon covered with a thin sheeting of ice, more than half an inch in thickness. Reports from the country within 12 miles of London speak of very severe weather. In Essex, especially, the cold has been very bitter, while in other places also there have been several nights of intense frost, and one or two falls of snow.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—l have the honour to enclose a copy of the address forwarded by the committee of the above league to the Franco-Polish Central Committee of France. The favour of its insertion in your jonrna will oblige, yours obediently, JOHN ROBERT TAYLOR, Hon. Secy. 13, Brownlow-street, Bedford-row, W.C., February 4. " Messieu'rs,—We rejoice that there aro Fronch as well as English hearts, incapable of remaining passive and inert whilst Poland is being abandoned to extermination, and the signatures of France and Great Britain to the treaties guaranteeing her national and political existence are being washed out in her life blood. " Is tho record of the wrongs and sufferings of Poland to be still the record of the shame of France and the dishonour of England ? Not with our con sent; we rejoice to add —not with yours. We rejoice to unite our voices with yours in demanding the recognition, by our respective Governments, of the belligerent rights of our Polish brethren—as warring against a Power which, by the violation of treaties, and by half a century of misrule, has for feited all claim to dominion over them. " If within a few weeks after the revolt of the Confederate States of America against a native and legitimate Government, a Government based on the broadest foundations of political, social, and indi vidual freedom, and under which as great an amount of human happin ess h as b een e njoyed as has ever bean the lot of man un d er any form of government, if, within a few weeks after that revolt, France and Great Britain spontaneously recognised the belligerent rights of the insurgent States, is it possible, is it conceivable that the same recognition should be refused to the Poses after, not a few weeks, bat many months of one of the most righteous and patriotic struggles in the history of the world ? The Poles, who are in revolt, not against a native and legitimate Go vernment, not against a Government founded upon free institutions and diffusing far and wide abun dant physical and social happiness, but against a foreign_ and usurping G o vernment, a Government founded upon brute force, trampling upon treaties, treading under foot all right and all law, steeped in the blood of its subject victims, known only by its oppression and misrule, the chains it had forged, the misery it had caused, the lives it had sacrificed, the property it had plundered, the atro cities it had perpetrated. " Driven and tortured into insurrection by the most cruel and exasperating tyranny and insult, and after they had in Christian fortitude and pa tience employed and exhausted all peaceful methods of endeavouring to obtain any real redress of their intolerable wrongs, the Poles are now being deli berately subjected to a wholesale process of extir pation. The horrors which have been inflicted upon them during the last twelve months will have enlisted all men in whose hearts the love of freedom and of right and the hatred of oppres sion and wrong are not utterly depraved or deadened, in an open crusade against the Musco vite barbarism which, in revenge for the mere loss of prestige in the Crimea, degrades, insults, and de files Europe ; against the fiendish cruelty which spares neither age nor sex; rebels in indiscriminate confiscation, depopulation, and massacre; outrages the holiest feelings ; delivers to the bullet or the gibbet men whose only crime is that they have loved and fought for theirs country; condemns to the hideous lash, or to hopeless imprisonment or exile, the daughters of Poland, whose only crime is that they have loved and mourned for their country, "Such are the fruits of the negative but san guinary rupture of 1854, having stopped short of its legitimate result—the deliverance and restora tion of Poland. " Surely, surely it is time, if the stamp of inde- lible eternal shame is not to be branded upon the banners, the history, the character of Great Britain and France as faithless and dead both to solemn obligations, and to all the promptings of justice and humanity and national dignity; it is time that the vacillations of diplomacy should cease, and that, at least, there should go forth the full, clear, and honourable recognition of the belligerent rights of the patriots of Poland struggling so long for their country's independence, for their most undoubted rights, for all that is worth living or worth dying for, with a devotion of self-sacrificing heroism that exalts virtue, and ennobles mankind.—By order and on behalf of the committee of the league, " EDMOND BEALES, President. " JOHN ROBERT TAYLOR, Hon. Secy. "London, Jan. 27." WILLS AND BEQUESTS. (From the Illustrated London News.) The will of the Right Hon. C. Compton Caven dish, Lord Chesham, was proved in London on the 23d nit., the executors nominated being his relict, the Dowager Baroness Chesham ; his nephew, the Duke of Devonshire ; and his son, now Baron Chesham. The personalty was sworn under L 40,000. The testator was the fourth son of the late earl of Burlington, and married Catherine, daughter of the ninth Marquis of Huntly, K.T. His lordship had on four separate elections been returned to Parlia ment, and represented Bucks from 1847 to 1857, for which county he was Deputy-Lieatenant, His lordship attained the age of 70, and executed his will in 1850, and two codicils in 1858 and 1863. A very liberal charge is made upon the family estates in Bucks and Herts for the Dowager ttl e Baroness, a nd be quests as well as a provision by mareiagese m by the will. The residu e o f t h e persona l pro perty is left to his son, the present Lord Chesham. The will of Sir Henry Martin, Bart., of Tun bridge Wells, was proved in London by the sole executor, Vice-Admiral Sir W. Panshawe Martin, K.C.8., the personalty being sworn under £35,000. Sir Henry succeeded to the title in 1842, having married, in 1825, Catherine, dau ghter of Sir Thos. Byam Martin, G.C.8., late Admiral of the Fleet. The testator died at the age of 62, and had executed his will in 1858, leaving the whole of his property, real and personal, to his relict, Lady Martin, for her own absolute use and disposal. of Muswell hilTi,hemwiidlldolefsßexi,chwarads M pr a o r v sh ed all, i E n sq., London under £70,000. The testator was the last surviving part ner of the eminent firm of Simpkin and Marshall, publishers, of Stationers' - cou rt and Paternoster row, originally founded by Mr. Crosby. The will bears date October, 186 3 , and the testator died the month following. The execu tors and trustees are Benjamin Crosby Marshall, the son ; Joseph John son Miles, the son-in• law ; and George Chater, wholesale stationer, Cannon -street. The testator has directed that his estates , called Warwicks, in Devonshire, as well as his estat e at Hornsey, should be sold, and, together with his sha res in the New River Company and all other property, applied for the benefit of his son and daughters in certain pro portions and shares, as s pecified in the Will. There are legacies and annuities to servants, labourers, and clerks, which are to be paid free of legacy duty. THE SHAISPERE DEMONSTRATION IN LONDON. —l n spite of Punch's prognostications that the National Shakspero Committee is moribund, and that it will be found difficult to obtain £30,000, we are happy to say (observes a weekly contemporary) that the Executive of that body is doing more than it ever did before, and that, in answer to a circular appeal to the members of the com mittee, subscriptions are pouring in apace. All that is wanted now to bring the matter into full activity is a de finite proposition from the memorial and site committees, whereupon to base a tangible appeal to the public. We are persuaded that, so far from there being any danger of the money not being forthcoming, the sum would be subscribed in the City of London alone, provided it were understood that the monument would be erected within civic precincts. The Stratford committee proceeds very actively with its work ; and on all sides we see good reasons for hoping that, all petty differences laid aside, the tercentenary celebration of our great Bard's natal day will be celebrated both in the place hallowed by his birth and in the great city which was the arena of his fame, in a manner worthy of his great name and of the mighty nation which will that day essay to do hat lion aur. Proclamation of Field-Marshal Von Wrangel to the Schleswigers, The following is the text of the proclamation issued by Field-Marshal von Wrangel immediately after crossing the Schleswig frontier : Prussian Headquarters, Feb. 1. Inhabitants of the Duchy of Schleswig I—Commissioned by his Majesty the King of Prussia, my most gracious master, to occupy the Duchy with Prussian troops, in con junction with the forces which his Majesty the Emperor of Austria has been pleased to place under my command for the same purpose, I call upon you to receive these troops with friendship and hospitality. We come to protect your rights. These rights aro violated by the common constitution for Denmark and Schleswig sanctioned by his Majesty the King of Denmark, upon the 18th November of last year, by which, in contravention of the agreements entered into in the year 1852, the Duchy has been incorporated with the kingdom. His Majesty the King of Denmark has been vainly sum moned to loose this bond. The Governments of Prussia and Austria have, in consequence thereof, determined upon their parts to bring into operation the means at their com mand practically to abolish the incorporation, and to secure to the Duchy the rights to which it is entitled by treaty. They will accomplish these objects by occupying the Duchy with their united troops and assuming its temporary admi nistration. This administration will be undertaken by civil com missioners of the two Powers. I call upon you to pay obedience to their orders, and to support them in their efforts for the maintenance of legal and settled conditions. The laws of the country remain valid, so far as the security of the troops does not indispensably require momentary and passing exceptions. I expect of the loyal and reasonable good sense of the in habitants of the Duchy that they will abstain from any de monstrations, from whatever party they may proceed. You must yourselves be aware that party agitations can only injure your good right, and that I cannot suffer them in your own interest. Our troops come as friends. As friends you will receive them. VON WRANOEL, Field-Marshal Commanding. Cleanliness next to Godliness. The following excellent paper extracted from the Queen we would earnestly commend to the perusal of our readers :—The Lancet has been calling the attention of its readers to what it alliteratively calls " The Fatality of the Frost," meaning the extra ordinary mortality caused by the recent severe visi tation of frost. According to the calculation of the writer (founded, principally, upon the figures of the RegistrerGeneral) the abnormal mortality traceable to this precise cause amounts to 500 deaths per week in London alone, that is to say :—" We have had within the last three weeks an influence at work amongst us which effected, in London alone, in one week, the death of five hundred persons, who, but for this inflaence, 4 in all probability, would have been still alive." Of course, in the presence of the Lancet, we only presame to deal with such topics with the greatest deference ; but we would venture to ask whether the great danger to those who suffer from bronchial disorders and derangement of the respiratory organs does not occur during the cold thaws, rather than the periods of dry frost. To the poor, who have but meagre food, and scanty cloth ing. little fuel, and insufficient bedding, who live in unwholesome neighbourhoods and in draughty houses, cold in every form is a serious affliction ; but to those who are blest with the means of keeping themselves warm, and have good food to generate animal heat, the insi dious operation of damp cold air is far more dangerous than the sternest rigours of the frost. To all such we would urgently . suggest a careful consideration of the effects of the Turkish bath. Whatever differences of opinion may exist among medical men as to the operation of the bath, it is now very generally admitted that, in dealing with all cases of cold, catarrh, influenza, bronchitis, asthma, and rheumatism, the bath, at a sufficient heat, is a sovereign specific. From personal ex perience, we can assure the reader that nothing gives such complete and immediate relief from the maleficent effects of cold as the bath ; and, from what we have seen, we fully believe that its con• stant use during the cold months would act as a preservative upon the weakest and most suscep tible. A medical man, hitherto a very obstinate sceptic as regards the bath, expressed to us the other day his astonishment at the nlmost miracu lous effect of the bath (at 170 deg. of heat) upon a severe and confirmed case of asthma ; and, not many days ago, we heard a member of Parliament, much afflicted with bronchial susceptibility, de clare that the only happy hours he now knows in the winter are those which he spends in the ler myn-etreet Hammam. So much for the benefits which the .bath confers upon those who can afford it in its most luxurious form. Why its good gifts should not also be extended to those who are poor and needy we cannot under stand. The history of the bath of England proves ineontestibly that among the poorer classes, and especially among those who are called the working-classes, it has found immediate acceptance, without any of that criticism and hostility which it has invariably excited among "the educated classes." The cotton-workers of Keighley and Rochdale accepted the bath and adopted it as a habit years before the luxurious denizens of the West end of London consulted their medical men as to whether this potent agent for good was likely to agree with their constitutions; and the Sheffield trainers had adopted it as the best mode of preparing men for feats of agility and strength long before medical science had been compelled to regard it with respect. It has been proved over and over again that the cost of what is necessary to the bath is really very trifling. A joint-stock bath has been for some years working at Keighley, built by the subscribed funds of working men, and here the average cost of a bath is a little over a penny. In an admirable paper which he read before the Society of Arts some two years ago, Mr. Urquhart (to whom the re-introduction of the bath into this country is entirely due) declared that, highly as its functions might be valued by the rich, the best and choicest blessings of the bath were for the poar, and that the main incentive which had led him to labour so strenuously in the cause was the hope that one day he might be enabled to bring within the reach of those toilers who have so few of the enjoyments' of life at their disposal the blessings of an institu tion which would give them cleanliness and health, whilst it rescued them from the fatal temptation of the gin-shop. Why cannot some portion of the magnificent sum set apart by Mr. Peabody for the purpose of benefiting the poor of London be applied in the eree tion of a large Hammam at the east end of London, where poor people might enjoy these inestimable blessings at such a cost as they could afford ? We learn from a newspaper paragraph that the first in stalment of Mr. Peabody's beneficence has at length made its appearance in the form of a black of model lodging houses, and that the applications for apart ments are already far more numerous than the committee could attend to. We have nothing to say as to this mode of employing the money beyond the expression of a hope that all will not be spent in this direction. Model lodging houses are of great value to the poor, especially if they be applied really as models or examples of how to arrange their homes in obedience to the laws of health ; but they must necessarily be limited and local in their operation. The block of houses already erected has cost £22,000, and the number of persons actually benefited must be comparatively few in number. An equal sum judiciously expended in the erection of a model Hammam somewhere at the east end of the metro polis, where the working man or his wife may obtain a bath (without shampooing) for twopence, or a bath with all the appliances at some moderate charge, would afford comfort and relief, we will venture to say, to thousands, and would spread the benefits of warmth, temperance, health, and cleanliness, among multitudes of now cold, intemperate, diseased, and filthy mortals. We earnestly recommend this mode of spending a small portion of Mr. Peabody's bounty to the consideration of the committee to whom he has entrusted his munificence. WASHINGTON IRVING .

STEEPLECHASES.-FEB. 5, The sudden change in the weather during the night, and the wintry aspect of the morning had a most depressing effect upon those who had made arrangements to be pre sent at the old-established meeting at Windsor. The sport was of an average character, and would have been very enjoyable but for the inclemency of the weather, from which many, especially the ladies in the stand, suffered severely. The following is a return of the sport : The Borough Members' Plate (Handicap) of 5 says each, with 25 added; about 2f miles. 4 subs. - - Mr Barter's Ironsides, list 71b (inc. 71b ex.)..(J. Land) 1 Mr. Nugent's Sir Bobby, lOst 41b .. (Mr. Barry) 2 Betting-6 to 4on Ironsides. The favourite cut out the work at a slow pace, Sir Bobby lying a couple of lengths in the rear. They ran in these positions to the top of the hill, where Sir Bobby joined issue, the pair running abreast to the water jump, which the latter cleared slightly in advance, but on reaching the hurdles in front of the stand he refused, and upon being put at them a second time he jumped the chains, and was left a long way in the rear. This mishap gave Ironsides a commanding lead, which he retained to the end, and can tered in alone. The Grand Military Steeplechase of 10 sous each, 5 ft, with 50 added, for horses the property of (and ridden by) officers on full pay of the army ; 12st each ; the second saved his stake. About three miles. 10 subs. Captain Coventry's (Grenadier Guards), Agnes, aged, 13st (inc, 141 b extra) .. (Owner) 1 Captain Knox's (Scots Fusilier Guards) Cheviot, 13st (inc. 141 b extra) (Owner) 2 Mr A. C. Tempest's (11th Hussars) Redwing, aged, 13st (inc. 141 b extra) (Owner) 3 The following also ran :—Tearaway, Croton Oil, Sara cen's Head, Red Miner, and Dutchman. _ _ Betting-6 to 4 agst Agnes, and 4to 1 each agst Red wing and Cheviot. Shortly after starting Agnes went to the front, closely followed by Cheviot, Croton Oil, and Red Miner, the others lying close in their wake. On making the turn for the flight of hurdles in front of the stand, Croton Oil, over• pulling his rider, rushed across his horses, followed by Red Miner, the pair fortunately missing the leading horses by jumping the chains, among the spectators. On reaching the garden enclosures the Saracen's Head passed the favou rite, who was followed in Indian file by Redwing, Cheviot, Tearaway, and Dutchman. They proceeded thus up the hill to the turning flag in front of the barracks, which the Saracen's Head rounded a dozen lengths in advance of Agnes, at whose girths, were Redwing and Cheviot. The leading horses cleared the water jump without a mistake ; but the Dutchman, less fortunate, blundered st it and fell, and was not afterwards persevered with. No material alteration occurred in the order of running, the Saracen's Head passed the stand still in advance, Redwing going on second, Agnes third, Cheviot fourth, with Tearaway next. Proceeding up the hill the Saracen's Head gave way to Redwing and Agnes, and Cheviot headed him at the brow of the hill, from which point the race was left to the three. Crossing the road for the starting field the favourite passed Redwing and cleared the fence several lengths in advance of Cheviot, who made an effort to reach her as they de scended the hill to the water, but failed, and was beaten easily by six lengths. Redwing finished a bad third. The Saracen's Head reached the stand and was there pulled up. Nothing else passed the post. The Selling Steeplechase of 5 soya each, with 25 added ; weight for age, with selling allowances. About two miles. 5 subs. Mr George's Levity, aged, 12st (moo) (C. Boyce) 1 Mr R. Couper's Gray Peter, aged, list 101 b (S 80) (B. Land) 2 Mr Land's Diadem, 6 yrs, list 111 b (£so) (Mr Coventry) 3 Gin Sling also ran. Betting—Even on Levity, 5 to 2 agst Diadem, and 4 to 1 agst Gray Peter. Levity made the running, followed by Diadem, Gray Peter, and Gin Sling to the top of the hill, where they got upon closer terms, but on reaching the flight of hurdles the latter broke down badly, and was out of the race. On reaching the stand Gray Peter headed Levity, and came on with a decided advantage over the water jump, but Boyce immediately on landing made his effort, and, joining the Gray in a few strides, won a good race by two lengths ; three lengths between second and third. A Hunters' Stakes of 3 soya each, with 25 added, for horses which have been regularly hunted, 12st each, with cer tain penalties and allowances, Gentlemen riders. About three miles. 7 subs. Mr. B. Land, jun.'s Ribbonman, aged, list 121 b, 60 soya (B. Land) 1 Mr. H. Coventry's Countess, aged, 12st, 60 soya (Mr. Coventry) The following also ran :—Betsy Baker, Hist, and Brides maid. Betting—Even on the Countess, and 5 to 2 agst Ribbon man. Countess made play in company with Ribbonman and Betsy Baker for the first mile and a half, when the latter was disposed of, leaving the two favourites in possession of the lead, Hist and Bridesmaid having been early disposed of by refusals. On entering the winning field the favourite appeared to have the best of it, but on reaching the water jump in the bottom B. Land brought his horse to the front and won cleverly by a length and a half. BIRMINGHAM ANNUAL STEEPLECHASES. MONDAY, FEB. 15.

There were several inquiries about Claremont for the Two Thousand Guineas, but less than 11 to 1 against him was refused.

Not being aware of Ad miral Fitzroy' B storm signal, Captain Chapman put to sea on Saturday last about 1 o'clock, and soon after the vessel encountered a severe gale from the south- west, with a heavy head sea. After facing the storm to a distance of about 170 miles, the captain made for Lundy Island, in the Bristol Channel, in the hope of getting into Milford-haven. On . getting to the leeward of the island it was found that the water had increased so rapidly that the fires were put out and the engines brought to a stand. Every exertion was made by the captain and crew to save the vessel ; all worked harmoniously together, but, unfortunately, without effect. The firemen even stood up to their middle in the water throwing coals into the furnaces so long as the fires burned, but the pumps soon became choked, and the fires were then put out. The Bristol pilot boat No. 32, Captain Alfred Ray, bore down to the steamer and lay by her until the whole of the crew, 39 in number, were safely conveyed on board in the boats of the lona. The water was up to the cabin table the last time the captain went down, and half an hour after the crew left her the steamer sank. The captain e of a little schooner offered to stand by the steamer, buttthe h wind blew her off, and the generous seaman had n o t opportunity of rendering the assistance ho desoe th© ha M ost of the crew saved their clothes, and we understan d he lona man has had his passage paid to his residence was partly insured.—Liverpool./Ifercr o peasants of Aug usto w, prayingthe Jews ann exation of that ha Palatinate to the Alexander • replied to a petition of HAMBURG, Feb. 3.—The and Empire, that no suer Russ i a take place. ar r angement can possib y fori Russian lo il iiis ,hare 100 sk 20 stock stock stock 100 100 stook stook stook stock stock mock stock stock' Stook 100 100 100 100 100 1022 i 90 } 99 10 7
