The Band of the Royal Society for the Protection of Life MACMILLAN.—Th e most remarkable feature in this number of Macmillan is the opening of a new story by the talented author of " Ravenshoe." Mr. Kingsley displays all his accustomed ability in this introductory part, and so far as we can judge from the few chapters here before us, the history of " The Hillyars and the Burtons" will be full of varied at d complicated interest. The well•written but melancholy story of " Vincenzo, or Sunken Rocks" is brought to a conclusion. The " sunken rocks" prove too powerful for the unfortunate hero, and he subsides once more into that life of retirement and inaction which had before proved so distasteful to him. Professor Cairnes contributes an article on Mr. Ruskin's views of the gold question, and the editor commences a series of papers which promiee interest, The letters from a competition lira:lah are continued, and discuss this month a tiger party in Nepaul. Lord Hobart gives us an essay on " Maritime Capture and Blockade," which is a question affecting so many just now, that it has risen into unusual importance. Mr. Edward Dicey tells us his experience of a week in Russian Poland, and the opening part of " A Son of the Soil," graphically describing a scene in the Highlands, is apparently drawn from life. of a at at On Nov. 10, in post Svo., 10s. 6d., with a Portrait of the Author, MY IMPRISONMENT AT WASHINGTON, Including MY JOURNAL KEPT AT THE OLD CAPITOL PRISON THERE.

In the earlier days of steam, and before the recent improve ments for the economy of fuel had been introduced, steamers could be employed with advantage only for the carrying of mails and passengers, but latterly, owing to the improve ments in marine engines, economy of fuel and space has been effected, thereby greatly reducing the working expenses, and screw steamers have not only been employed in all the near trades for the conveyance of goods, with large profit to their s owners, but, owing to the advantages which they afford to kippers, th ey have, in these trad es , a l mos t entirely displaced sailing v esse l s. For some years th egraduall Carrying trade out of Liverpool has been steamers have a change. In the Amer.can trade screw York lin taken the place of the once celebrated New line goo ers, but as yet only as carriers of the highest class of a large nu and passengers. Other descriptions of goods and still e number of intermediate and steerage passengers bedig conveyed by sailing vessels. In the important branches of the American import trade, viz., those of grain, flour, and provisions, the loss annually sustained by neating during the protr cted voyages fre quently made by sailing vessels is so great, that the interest of all engaged in these trades will be enlisted in favour of a ny scheme for the extension of steam shipping to include Ruch freight, and there can be no doubt but that the whole of the enormous trade in these articles, which in Liverpool alone amounts annually to 750,000 tons, will fail entirely into the hands of steam comnanies. The first object of thii Company is to place on the New York station a fleet of screw steamers from Liverpool and London, of large size an d grea t ca p ac ity , w hi c h w ill b e a bl e to carry almost, if not quite, as cheap as sailing vessels, whilst at the same time, from the regularity of their passages, t hey will command a full share of the steam trade, and the tiirectora also intend sen di ng steamers t o t h e Amer i can Cotton Ports when the war is brought to an end and the tra de re-opened, and hav e a l so under their consideration the wants of the Brazil and other trades. In organising this Company the Directors believe that it Will not enter into undue competition vvith the existing lines. The Cunard Line is a subsidised company, carrying the Mails and passengers with fast and expensive steamers. The Inman Line has no E übsidv, but nevertheless has been Most sueceszful, and it now employs eleven vessels, having c ommenced its operations with two steamers, the City of (ilasgow and City of Manchester. The steamships of the Inman Line are, however, of greater proportionate horse- Power than those projected by this Company, which will be sailed at much lees cost, and will be constructed to consume a „ c omparatively small amount of coal; at the same time of capacit that, in to a large car of dis c and pass y engers, they addition will be able to carry go sufficmerchan ient fuel for their voyages both out and home, and so avoid the ex- Pense and delay incurred by coalin,7, abroad. In order that the objects of this Company may not be even -Partially antic pated, and that the stations may at once be c 'ee t , 'Tied, provisional rrang,ements have been made whereby ree new steamers, of the description indicated, and in all -""Prcts su.table for he service, have been secured, and con tricts have been entered into for the ha lding of others of about ns each, and it is proposed to commence with a fort -uLLY service each way, to be increased to weekly millings on as the vessels can be got ready. The ports ot depar tire than be Liverpool for the weekly line, ani London to me extent the metropolitan trade may require. ships will be built under the inspection of Mr. John of r "an —late Chi e f S urveyor t o th e U n d erwr i ter ' s R eg i str y Iron Ships _whose services as Inspecting En_ ineer and Na val Architect the Directors have secured to th a Company. he success which has attended the formation of well inanag,ed steam companies has been very marked. That of Cunard and Inman Company is well known. he Pacific Stearn Navigation Company, whose snares,£3o paid, are sell ing at £lB per share, has out , t profits given to its share holders new paid-up shares exceeding the am -, unt of the ori ginal capital, and pays a regular dividend of 10 per cent. on the increased issue, carrying ever at each annual meeting an almost equal sum, while many private steamship owners, With similar descriptions of vessels, but much smaller than those this Ucinpa..y intend to possess, have reaped like results. The Directors have, therefore, every reason to anticipate a very great success to the undertaking. They are not en tering upon an experiment, but are providing for this Com pany a similar description of vessel, but of larger size, than those which have proved so remunerative to severa, well known private firms engaged in the Mediterranean and other trades, and have thus the advantage of the experience so acquired, which proves that what is needed, under efficient management, to ensure profitable results, are large ships, with moderate but sufficient horse-power and great carrying capacity. The introduction or the limited liability principle has en abled undertakings of great magnitude like the present to be carried out by joint-stork companies, which may embrace the co-operation of shippers and of others interested, instead of by private capitalists as heretofore; the result being that the supporters of this line will become interested in its suc cess, and participate in the profits which they assist to earn. Applications for shares may be addressed in the annexed form to the Directors, and copies of the prospectus may be obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Company, or at the offices of the Brokers and Solicitors, but no application will be considered unless a deposit ef £1 per share on the number of shares applied for has been paid.

This Company is established in order, as its name implies, to carry on the trade of Merchant Bankers. Hitherto this department of business has been almost exclusively in the hands of private firms, but it is confidently believed that the Joint-Stock principle may be most beneficially applied to it, as well in the interests of commerce as to the advantage of those who desire a safe and profitable investment. The Merchant Banking Company of London, Limited, is in consequence projected, having been carefully matured under the auspices of merchants, and, having every facility already available and in full operation, the Com , ,any will at once enter upon a business ascertained to be of highly re munerative nature, with all the advantages of local know ledge and experience of the respective foreign markets. 'The Company will avoid costly establishments abroad, which absorb so large a _portion of the profits of other bank ing establishments, and avail themselves of the agency of mercantile houses already established. The Company will grant negotiable orother credits, by and upon their Foreign Agents, to importers of produce in this country, on the continent of Europe, and in America. They will make advances on the staple manufactures of this country under documentary bills, or consigned to their Agents abroad, for such periods as may be necessary to realise the sale of such goods, and on terms favourable to the shippers. 'They will also undertake to execute orders for produce through their Agents abroad, on terms highly advantageous to importers. The Company will further undertake the monetary agency of Foreign and Colonial Governments, and other constituted public bodies. They will receive deposits at their Head Office in London, at the current rates of interest, and grant loans, through their Agents abroad, on approved securities. The safety of the Merchant Banking Company of London, Limited, as an investment will be understood from the na ture of the business proposed to be transacted, and the profits likely to be made by the Company may be in some measure estimated by the well-known success of several mercantile banking establishments engaged in the same descrip Jon of business. No promotion-money will be paid in connexion with this Company; the pre iminary expenses will be strictly confined to actual disbursements. The Articles of Association can be seen at the Offices of the Solicitors. A pplieations for Shares may he addressed, in the annexed form, to the Directors ; and copies of the Prospectus may be obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Company, or at the Offices of the Brokers and Solicitors ; but no application will be considered unless a deposit of £1 per share on the num ber of Shares applied for has been paid.

MURDER OF A POLICEMAN AT GLASGOW.—About 11 o'clock on Wednesday evening a night-constable in the Glasgow police-force, named Robert Campbell, was so brutally assaulted by a man named Alexander Graham, in a stair, and in a close in Stockwell-street, that he ex pired about 7 o'clock on Thursday morning. About 20 tainutas to 11 o'clock on Wednesday evening two shop girls who were on their way to the house of their mistress, who lives in Stockwell-street, were frightened on the stair:by a man who was sitting in the dark. They screamed, ran out of the close, and got the assistance of Campbell, who showed them up the stair. Campbell then asked the man to rise. Shortly afterwards a woman named Fullerton, who lives on the first flat, heard a noise at the landing of the first stair, and at the same time something which she thought was a lantern struck her door. She opened the door, and observed the constable lying on his back, and Graham with his knees on his chest and his hands at his throat. She pulled the ruffian off the con stable, who was much exhausted, and then asked him to enter her dwelling. Campbell did so, and Graham, on pro ceeding downstairs, said he would do for the constable for meddling with him, After remaining iu the house for a short time the constable left, and en proceeding downstairs he was attacked by Graham, and they struggled on the ground for sumo time, the constable calling "Murder." A spirit-dealer's assistant came to the constable's aid, and seized Graham, who was conveyed to the Central Police • office. Campbell was in a very exhausted state, and after being conveyed to a spiritahop was taken to the house of the police surgeon, and was after wards removed home. His forehead was much swollen, which he said was occasioned by falling on one of the steps of the stair in the course of The steady when and has joined ef ta theo w force d in x children. wascon veyed th e s truggle. lle continued sensible for ab ou t two hours, after which he became delirious, and e xpired about 7 o'cl oc k the next morning in his house in Coll ege . street.

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS, The ordinary weekly meeting of the Board took place yesterday afternoon at the offices, Spring-gardens, John Thwaites, the chairman, presiding. The cash statement showed the total in the hands of the treasurer to be £176,105 ss, 5d., Government securities £88,982 Hs. Bd. A letter was read from Mr. Alderman Wm. Lawrence, the Lord Mayor elect, stating that owing to his election as chief magistrate of the City he was compelled to retire from his position at the Board, as his duties as such would en gross the whole of his attention, and thus prevent his giving that time which, as a member of that Board, he felt it his duty to give. A deputation from the committee of the London Congre gational Chapel Building Society came before the Board and presented a memorial relative to the application of Mr. Tarring for obtaining permission to the erection of schools near the chapel in John-street, Tottenham-court-road. After some discussion, the Architect of the Board spoke in favour of the buildings being allowed to stand, and such suggestion was ultimately agreed upon. PROPOSED NEW PARK FOR THE SOUTH-EASTERN DISTRICT OF TILE METROPOLIS. The Streets Committee brought forward a report, in which they recommended that the solicitor should receive instruc tions to prepare a bill to be introduced in the ensuing ses sion of Parliament for p owers to purchase land, and make such arrangements as might be deemed necessary, for the formation of a park in the south - eastern portion of London. Mr. PHILLIPS said the subject then before them had been considered by a full Board, and it was their opinion that the Board ought to have mo re exclusiv e powers than they now possessed in order to carry on such improvements. He would therefore move that the solicitor to the Board should prepare a bill to be presented to Parliament in the ensuing session to enable them to carry out their intentions. The motion was seconded by Mr. FREEMAN. Mr. LEOG expressed his sorrow to have to move again in that matter, but he must say that he considered justice had not been done to the question referred to by the committee, since they had departed from the reference and travelled out of the record. He then proceeded to point out that the subject was favourably reported upon by a committee in 1857, when a suitable plot of land w as o ff ere d t h em. It was now sought to go to Parliament for a bill, which would greatly delay the formation of the Park. Ho then referred to the expense which would thus be incurred ; and in con clusion moved, as an amendment, that the report be referred back to the committee. Mr. COLLINSON seconded the amendment. After some considerable discussion the original motion was put and carried. The Chief Engineer in his report stated that Messrs, Brassey and Co. continued to make fair progress with the works of the middle level, and had completed over 10} miles of sewers of various sizes, at an estimated cost of £284,000. The works of the western district had been much retarded owing to the unfavourable nature of the ground through Fulham-fields. Mr. Fraser's contract for the outfai: was rapidly approaching completion. The works under 111 t: Furdner's contract for the northern outfall were progressing satisfactorily, sa d th e southern outfall was making good way; while the southern low level was now completed to upwards of 13 miles. The Bermondsey branch was finished to nearly three miles. The other portions of the work were in a forward slate. The report was ordered to be printed ; and after some routine business the Board adjourned. THE NEW REVIEW.--This journal continues to follow the line steadily marked out in its opening numbers. It partakes more of the solid nature of a quarterly than of the fleeting interest of the monthly serials. The political element, too, pre dominates, although there are is a fair allowance of literary and social subjects. The number before us cer tainly includes a wide range of topics in its table of con tents. It ranges from finance to music—from the French Senate to the Church Congress, having, besides, two gene ral articles, well written, and containing a good deal of sense, "Concerning certain Social QueStions," and "On the Choice of a Profession." The former of these is rather disjointed in its subject matter, and it skims over the sur face of our social life in a desultory but not unpleasing f a shion. An essay on "The English Bar" will be read w ith interest, and the recent book of the Duke de Broglie suggests an amiable paper on "French Parliamentary Leaders." Two biographical papers on Archbishop Whately and Felix Mendelssohn are both interesting and readable, and the number, although perhaps a little too sustains the reputation acquired by its prede csoelssido,rsflly .0 INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE.—There is the usual amount of amusing and instructive information in this little serial, and some of the short sketches of lif e are very entertaining. " A Rough Dose" affords a curious example of cure fur a lazy and fanciful disposition, but the results were very bene ficial. "Only a Word" exemplifies how the apparently forlorn can help those who are worse off in the social scale. "Portraits of Advertisers " present some sketches that do great credit to their designer. Considering the price it is surprising what amount of information is collected in these pages . " Young England" contains its ordinary informa tion for the young, and they may find some very useful hints regarding various subjects which will render their reading-hour a pleasant and profitable one. DIE NATIONAL MAGAZINE.—In this periodical there are many diversified contents. The remarks on "Dress and the Dressed' are very sensible, and aptly comment on some of the most extravagant fashions of the last and present generation. It is said that "one naturally associates the idea of an ill-regulated mind with finery and gaud." The story of "The College Friends" is finished. It is very melancholy, but presents some striking pictures of life, and the last scene is very effective, where the dying man passes under the arches that were to do honour to his return. A sketch of the Life of Bernard Palissy, the potter, is a very excellent subject to dwell upon. The struggles, sufferings of th at noble-:Winded man successe s, and show most forcibly how often great things are achieved by those whose positions in life does not facilitate their efforts, but, on the contrary, often retards them. Also, it tells how th e greatest triumphs cannot prevent the most serious troubles and sad disasters befalling the gifted ones of the earth. "Arsenical Poisoning" presents useful information, which is especially needed at the present day, when so m any mistakes are made anout the subject, and such fatal results ensue. " The Study of the Face" presents us with a picture of " Obstinacy," but the expression is not alto gether successful, the mouth is more of a sulky temper than I an obstinate one. The remarks on the subject are very good, and well describe the fearful extent to which this quality may proceed, and the wretchedness it occasions-to the sin ner and his surroundings, THE FAMILY FRIEND.—A capital little monthly sixpennyworth of verse and prose, tale and essay, music, patterns, receipts, conundrums, reviews, correspon dence, woodcuts, and double columned letterpress. GARDENER'S WEEKLY MAGAZINE.--As ever, this cheap floricultural cabinet, edited by Shirley nib berd, comes forth most seasonably. If only for the timely information it affords, it is deserving of the welcome it always receives at the hands of its subscribers. RECENT WILLS AND BEQUESTS. (Front the Illustrated London News.) Th e will of the Right Hon. Henry Beauchamp Lygon, Earl Beauchamp, of Powyke, and Madres field Court, Worcester, was proved in her Nlajesty's Court of Probate by his son, the present earl, power being reserved to his younger son, the Hon. Frederick Lygon, M.P., the executor. The personalty was sworn under £lBO,OOO. The de ceased nobleman was a general in the army, colonel of the 10th Hussars, and deputy-lieute nant for Worcestershire,. He died on the Bth of September last at the age of 78. His lordship mar ried, in 1824, a daughter of the second Earl of St. Germans, G.C.B. She died in 1835, leaving two sons and two daughters. His son, heretofore Vis count Elmley, of the Ist Life Guards, was M.P. for West Worcestershire, which the deceased earl had represented for 20 years, and previously member for the county of Worcester 25 years. The first earl represented Worcestershire for 30 years. The testator executed his will in 1861, and two codi cils in 1862. To his son and successor he leaves the residue of his personal estate. To his son Fre derick he leaves a third of the large sums under his (testator's) marriage settlement, over which his lord ship had the power of apportienment, and bequeaths to his said son Frederick the sum of £46,000, also the plate which his lordship purchased of the exe cutrix of his brother, the second Earl Beauchamp. To each of his two daughters he has left a third of the property under settlement, leaving also to his daughter, Lady Raglan, the further sum of £lO,OOO, and a like sum of £lO,OOO to each of her ladyship's two sons. To a former governess in the family a legacy of £600; also legacies to his coach men, grooms, and indoor servants. The will of the Rev. John buncombe Shafto, M.A., of Buckworth Rectory, Huntingdonshire, honorary canon of Durham, was administered to in the Lou don Court on the 10th ult. by his son, John Edward Duncombe Shafto,Esq.,no executor being appointed under the will, which is entirely in the testator's handwriting, and was without his signature thereto, saving in the attestation clause. The will bears date April 1, 1863. The personal property sworn under £20,000. To his wife he bequest hs his furniture, carriages, horses, farming stock, and certain investments and securities, dividing his mainder of his property between her and . in his will as child ren.

Tattersall's is essentially an English institution. Its foreign imitation in the Champs El y sees is quite another thing. There is no place like Tattersall's throughout the entire world. At Tattersall's swells and snobs, princes of the blood and pothonse betting list keepers, shoulder each other in the narrow dreary passage which might be the entrance to the mews of St. George's Hospital, supposing; the patients to keep horses. Until he had proceeded some distance down the avenue, the stranger ree;ght have no id-a what place he was about to visit ; for the outside selvage of horsiness, the tattered red waistcoated horse holders, the loungers and loafers and straw-chewers, are common to the portals of all the great horse-dealers and livery-stable keepers, and are to be found hanging about Limmer's, the Tavistock, and other hotels essentially devoted to bachelors. Probably the first thing that would have the effect of local colour on his mind would be the sight o{ a humble imitator of the great " Jerry " of bygone Epsom and Ascot fame—a miserable in dividual in a stained hunting-coat, the colour of a three-year-old Post-office Directory, and a shapeless velvet hunting-cap —who is now reduced to proffer cigar-lights for sale as an excuse for mendicancy. This wretched being who, with his meaningless mouthings,reminds one more of a Galway onadhaun or a Swiss cretin, than of a sturdy English vagrant, is a kind of outpost sentinel of the grand gathering of" noble sportsmen," and after passing him you plunge at once into the ruck, and can have no doubt about your having fallen among thieves. It is a thoroughly well known fact that the palmy days of the turf are gone by, and that but very few gentlemen are now numbered among its supporters. These gentlemen, who, impelled by natural love of racing, high opinion of their own sharpness, han kering after gain, or that invincible desire of being " cocks of the walk," which leads them to love lower society—yet hold fondly by old traditions, and enrol themselves as patrons of the turf, will be found at the bottom of this avenue in a square brick building, which looks like a Dissenters' meeting house, but which is in reality the famous " Sub scription-room," to which access can only be had by members duly balloted for, who pay a subscription of two guineas a year, and whose exclusiveness is guaranteed by a specially surly porter, assisted oc casionally by a couple of policemen. Here, and on a green sward known as the Ring, sprinkled here and there with trees, and shady as the lives of many of its frequenters, do my Lord Tom Noddy and his comrades compare their " metallics," and do their best to profit by their own information and their own ignorance. This is the paradise of the betting man, where he sits at his ease and listens to blandly• quoted odds, and the latest stable tips, and the most recent canards from distant training grounds ; and here a physiognomist would find inanity and vacuity the most prevalent character-types. Occasionally you come upon the set mouth, the sunken eye, the furtive glance, and the firm face, but a study of the subscription -room and the Ring would show reced ing foreheads, long upper lips, silky moustaches and whiskers, expressionless light eyes, and an at tempt at a chin sloping rapidly from the mouth into the turned- down collar, to be the principal features. But if this be Paradise, take one look at the crowd of Penis " at the gate," and kept there by the surly porter. These be your men into whose hands the business of the turf, eret conducted by a Ben tinck, a Gully, a Gratwicke, and a Zetland, has de scended. Here they are, of all styles. Big, heavy, elderly men froni Yorkshire and the northern coun ties, red faced and hard voiced ; dressed in thic::, square-cut, ill-setting shooting coats and trousers ; wearing big boots, and hats with long nap, and large rolls of cravat under the chin.,_Publicans from Shoreditch and - the Mincrics, fat,. owly, greasy- men, with no whiskers and short cut hair, dressed in black, with black satin waistcoats a little frayed near the pockets by the silver watch guard—men whose small chaise carts, drawn by tiny fast-trotting ponies, now c:..vered with leopard-skin rugs, arc awaiting them in Grosvenor-place, under the sha dow of Mr. Wyatt's hideous mounted effigy of " the Dook." Lithe, light-limbed little men, with fair hair flattened to their heads under their billycock hats, and close-fitting cutaway coats and tight trousers and long feet, and cravats so flit that they looked as if they had been ironed when on,and always ornamented with a pin in the shape of a very pewtery-looking fox's head, with red glass eyes, or a horse's shoe with each nail distinctly picked out. Carpenters with the smell of the shavings and the chips yet hanging about them ; mechanics with their eyes yet ring-dovey in appearance from the black that will not wash off; the thorough London cab with his seedy second-hand clothes, his shiny broken hat, his never-absent "aggravator" side-curl, his restless eye, and sour, mordant tongue ; a sprinkling of professionally-attired grooms, acceptance list betters and broken-down touts—a ste amin g , seeth , ing, hoarsely-whispering, blaspheming ma ss. " Who wants to bet ? I'll lay against Jack o "Arts ! I'll lay against Ketch:cm-live! I'll lay against any one bar one. To back the field ! who wants to back the field ?" As the vague rumours come to these base imitators from the lordly Ring, as hints of breaking-downs or bad gallops, orintendedscratch are brought ings, ordiminished powers of "staying," up by the outlying touts, so does the business vacil late in this dirty and unrecognised Exchange. But one thing may be looked upon as certain; that when thousands of pounds change aristocratic owners in the Paradise of the Subscription-room, thousands of half-crowns are bandied between the dirty hands of the disconsolate Peris outside. There is another and a pleasanter phase of Tatter- sail's—on Monday morning, the sale day, when the racing men are absent, and the yard is filled with intending buyers, connoisseurs of horseflesh, or men with horsy tendencies, passing a vacant hour. This yard is onthe right hand, at the bottom of th e passage, and is of the stable stably ; entered through a square orifice in a sheet of wood, and when entered found to be a square, roughly paved court, with c a cupo la in the centre , serving as the auctione er ' s r ostrum, with a painted effigy of a fox for his desk, a nd a bust of Gorge IV. over hi s head. There are covered avenues round the sides, with here and there loose boxes leading into them; and Perfect grove of stable - doors. There ion the left a atten dance, for young L or d S t s a crowded am to grief at last, and his huntingpfoot has come stud i s com i ng t o the hammer. Ther e are i n the printed list rare fencers Quer n and the fencers well known with th Pytch ley and the Flat Hat Hunt. Little difficulty in selling these horses ; f have known themor half the people present made in the field, and the other half acquaintance with them ' yesterday afternoon, when, in th a t no b le desecration of the Sabbath at which Government winks, and in which all the hard-working sporting men who have nothing to do in the other six week-days delight, the stables were visited by everyone wanting a horse, or having nothing else to fill up the time between luncheon and the hour when it was proper to "do" the Park. ;11r. Tattersall mounts the rostrum, and the first lot, Kicking Kate, is led out—a tall, powerful, dark bay mare, sixteen hands high, arched neck, clean lean head, and hind-quarters looking as though they could shoot a rider " into the next county." A sunken, scowling eye, though showing a good deal of white, rind a tendency to back -stiffening, betray the origin of Kate's cognomen. The order comes, " Give her a run," and away goes the mare, with a helper at her head, up and down the gravelled avenue , °ens ionally lashing out ith right and left, an d f i na ll y s tands against the wall w all her points well display ed. Then the crowd gathers rowed h er __, s lim, fair man, with breezy whiskers and k een dressed in a dark overcoat and tight-fitti eyes, fawn-coloured, ribbed trousers, pats hi s _._ , tight-fitting, 1 the mare's mouth, and listens to her breathing.

Two or three French gentlemen will also probably be found among the crowd, subscribers to Le Sport, faith ful attendants at the Chantilly race-course, menzhre s du: Jockey Club, and Anglomaniacs, carefully got up in the style prevalent among Eng lishmen 12 years ago—shaved chins, mutton-chop whiskers, st iff , stand-up collars, almost brimless t, hats, yet who arc ut t er l y i mposs ibl e to bey mistaken or anything but masquerading Frenchmen .as they are. Swells are there, too, gorgeous and sownin ; stockbrokers on the look- out out for clever trotting mares dog-carts ; Rowdy, the banker, wanting a big horse with high action for Mrs. stoat man with his coat- Rowdy's brougham ; a collar turned tip, but looking very suspiciously like g Gauntry parson, who is e xamining with great in terestoanwbeyighhits-cbaoryrytio the acquisition of a greyn Cob ; and a P a t er f am ili as urged pony. The sale proceeds : Kicking Kate falls, at the price of £lBO, to the man who listened to her breathing, who is Rasp, the well-known horse dealer, and who will sell her again i n a week for £250. Other lots are brought on, and in an hour or two Lord Stampfoot's creditors are riche r b y a couple of thousand pounds. The single horses then come to the hammer, and are quickly disposed of ; the stockbrokers get their trotting mares, Rowdy his big brougham horse, and parvus Lulus his grey pony; and when business is over, the grooms and helpers betake themselves to a very quaint, old fashioned tavern, part of the establishment, situate the_gates, and recruit their •sta rigth with unlimited beer. There is a rumour that it is in contemplation at once to remove Tattersall's to other premises north of Hyde-park, and this seemed therefore a fitting opportunity to describe it as it appeared in its last year on the ground which it has occupied for three quarters of a century. ,THE LATE GALE. Accounts continue to be received from all parts of the coast detailing the disastrous effects of the late gale. KINGSTOWN, NEAR DUBLIN, NOP. 5. Capt. Hutchinson, R.N., the hon. sec. of the Kingstown branch of the National Lifeboat Institu- tion, states, " I do not rememhersuch a continuance of bad weather and westerly and southerly gales for 20 years. Her Majesty's snip has rode out some severe svesterly Princegales . i Consort n Kings town Bay since h er arrival. She experienced the greatest danger wh en o ff Holyhead. She is now de tained for the recovery o f h er anchor. oAs t d anchor and calm, I hope she will be abl e to sweep for theaho - and find it. I wishl could see her depart befare an easterly gale comes on, as that might place her in great danger." Writing again later in the day, Captain Hutchinson states—" I am happy to say that the Prince Consort has left the road stead for Plymouth. The vessel which the Kingstown lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution went off to was the ship Cornubia, of Padstow, bound from Glasgow to Plymouth with a general cargo. The mail steamer Leinster broke the centre connecting shaft of her engines when within a few miles off the Kish Light-ship last evening, and became perfectly helpless. Fortu nately one of the same company's cattle steamers was on her way to Liverpool and was signalled. She took the Leinster in tow and brought her safely into Kingstown Bay this morning." NEW BRIGHTON, NEAR LIVERPOOL, Nov, 4. The tubular lifeboat of the National Lifeboat In stitution on this station went out yesterday in tow of the steam tug Universe in reply to signals of dis tress from a vessel on Taylor's Sandbank. On ar riving, however, at the Bank, which she reached in three quarters of an hour, the boat could discern ~. nothing bat some pieces. of wreak floaking, and after • J searching about for some time she returned to the shore. It was blowing strong at the time from the and there was a heavy sea run-Tung. PENARTII, NEAR CARDIFF, Nov. 4. On Tuesday a coast-guardsman brought the in• telligence that dine was a sloop in distress on Cardiff Sands. A steam tug was in attendance with a boat in tow, by which it was expected every moment that the sloop's crew would be taken off; but as it was rapidly becoming dark, and the crew were still on board the vessel, it was deemed ad visable that the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution on the Penarth station should be launched, especially as the gale was increasing on her. This was done without the lifeboat's crow having received any previous warning ; snd al though the boathouse is more than a quarter of a mile from the shore, the boat was afloat in t wen t y m inutes. She speedily reached the wreck, when it was discovered that the crew had just been taken on to the steamer by means of a boat and warp. The crow of the lifeboat exerted themselves to the u tmost, and are deserving of great praise f or th e i r promptness and energy on the occasion. It may be observed that the lifeboats of the Na tional Institution during the recent heavy gales went off on 22 occasions, and between 40 and 50 lives were saved by means of their noble services. GOOD ADVICE.--The London correspondent of the New York herald writes :—" If there was any thing in the councils at Washington that could be dignified with the designation of even third or fourth-rate states manship, it would at once occasion a pause in the hostili ties prosecuted against the South, propose terms of peace, and thus make the most of a virtue which is speedily to beco.ne a necessity. A sagacious President would not hesitate a moment in employing all the means at his dis posal to forestall the European alliance while it is yet un perfected, by proposing terms to Jefferson Davis that ho e would not decline to accept. He would put an end toth existing belligerence while he yet may do so without dis graceful humiliation, He would acknowledge her indepen dence. in tho sense in which it will be acknowledged by c _ w . .°_. alliance, lie would say in the truthful consciousnes s heart, ' Come, come, my old cenfecro, I have employed m eans as such forces by land and by water, and such other win perhaPs no belligerent over employed before, and nov_erunion.
