MURDER OF A POLICEMAN.--A policeman, named Lyons, aged 23 years, belonging to the Stafford shire force, and stationed at Willenhall, died yesterday from the results of several dreadful injuries which had been inflicted upon him by Thomas Lockley and five other men, who are now in custody. Last Saturday week Lyons was upon his beat in a lew part of the town, when he had occa sion to order the prisoners to move oh its Consequence of their making a drunken row. Instead of doing so they assaulted him, and he arrested two of them, but their comrades rescued them, and knocked hint &ism, kicked him, and dragged him along the ground by his staff, whiCh. was fastened to his wrist.

PRICE..,4d. STAMPED:....Sd. ACCLIMATIZATION, a The following letter has been addressed to the Editor of the Times : Sir,—You have so frequently devoted a large portion of your space to the details of what is being (lone in the novel. and interesting project of an:ima :ization, that I think you will be glad of the oppor tunity of furnishing your readers with a few facts as to the past history and present condition of an association which may fairly claim to rank among Ihe most energetic, successful, and progressive acclimatization societies in the wox Id. The following statement is just about to be issued, for the reasons it itself explains. It conveys ia a concise form all that we haVe at present done, and I feel sure that its publication in Tour columns will not only give pleasure to thousands of kind-hearted persons who are gratified by the pros pect of increasing the happiness of their fellow creatures, but will incite other British dependencies to take active measures to add to the comforts, luxuries, and legitimate pleasures of their people,-- I am, Sir, your obedient servant, EDWARD WILSON.

But as illustrating by a Email success derful results eapAble of v.ttaintuent by acelluati s .... tion if adopted on a proper scale, the Council would refer to the fact of having introduced living speci mens of the sea fishes of Europe in the shape (x' the gray mullet and the edible crab; not, indeed, in numbers sufficient to justify a hope of est..:bliAlting the breed, but amply suggestive of whet will bo done in the future. In a country so subject as this to the ravages of insects, the case of the agriculturist has also been carefully considered. Hundreds of industrious farmers have, even this rear, been ruined by the caterpillar, and similar visitations must necessarily be expected. The introduction of insect-destroying birds has therafore been carefully attended to and with this has been combined an effort to surround. our colonial residences with those interesting asso.. ciations which constitute no slight portion of the charms with which the name of "home" is ever s s t ph u ea r rr starling,or o n w ne the the Javaihethrush, the 'cB sparrow,f fi lc h ,th ea n b l ackbird,sparrow, a most the t activehe sckhy Chi n e se e r ns k i interesting bird, the Indian mino, may now be considered thoroughly established, and are rapidly extending by natural means through the colony. The goldfinch, the linnet, the greenfinch, the yellow hammer, the ortolan, the canary, the robin, and many kinds of the smaller birds of other countries are being accumulated in the aviaries of the society, and many of them have already bred there. The nightingale and the hedge sparrow have been promised us by benevolent ladies at home, and the Queen herself has made an effort to supply us with the rook. To other liberal friends of the cause we are indebted for promises of the gazelle and the edible crab. As a contribution of very particular interest to the cottager, the introduction of the Ligurian bee may be adduced, that insect being probably, from its industrious and wonderfully prolific properties, the most valuable in the world. This bee is multi plying with almost incredible rapidity, and will soon be accessible to all classes. A widely-extended correspondence and a system of kindly interchange are knitting us in interesting relations with kindred societies in all parts of thu world; and to gentlemen in England, France, India, Ceylon, and China the scciety is, in particular, under deep obligations. The very great distances at which the operations of the society have to be carried on, and the diffi culty of getting placed in communication with the right class of persons and institutions calculated to aid the enterprise, should argue in favour of a steady persistence of effort, protracted over many years, and should show the false policy of any ill, considered interruption of a great national scheme. The British Government has recently be2n duced to take up the project of acclirnatization with an amount of considt , r4tion altogether without pro ecdent, th© P-ireign and Colonial-offices having recently scuc:., to Brilish emissaries in all countries in the word a series of questions as to the various desirable natural products of each country, and the Admiral:s has iiisued a circular to all cortatuunOeTs of her Majesty's ships, directing them to render every servica is their power to the cease of ace i- ni3;:':z2.tiorx in th.o cnovryaneo of F C inlC In almost every eolon:i in these tion societies have been founded, meet of them .Te.v ing that of Victoria the compliment of taking it wi their model, cod with Sydney, Hobart Town, A. , 1(!-. laid, Brisbane, Auckland, Lyttelton, cod Dunedin, the Melbourne Society is thus brought into friendly and frequent communication. A French man-of war is at the time of the preparation of this state meat engaged in bringing the society specimens of the yak, the ostrich, and other animals. There is something so attractive, and at the same time so novel, in the nature of acclimatization, that paragraphs referring to the proceedings of the society attain a circulation more general than almost any other subject in English and foreign newspapers, and such notices are calculated greatly to interest strangers in the progress of the colony, Even the very disasters and deaths inseparable from this kind of experiment are not without their uses, as many interesting specimens have been contri.+ buted to the National Museum from the collection of the society. 2r z . The Council of the society ss composed of gentle men who have no personal object to serve. They attend the weekly meetings at the cost of consider ab!e valuable time taken from their business hours, and the reports of their meetings will .show that the attendance is such as no other non-commercial body in the colony can boast of. The Council think that in this brief enumeration of facts they may consider that ' results' have been obtained sufficient to carry conviction to any unr prejudiced mind to show how impolitic it would be to allow their proceedings to be rashly or wantonly interfered with, and to justify them in expressing a doubt whether any other public money is as advan tageously expended in regard to the future as that portion with which they have been intrusted. From the very novelty of the project of sYst°• matic acclimatisation, and from the almost illimit able range of the objects with which it seeks to deal, a fertile topic is af f orded to the sneers of the thoughtless and the misrepresentations of tho ill. informed. But in seeking to stock this country with new, useful, and beautiful thing s, to a dd to our national wealth, to suggest ne w forms for our colonial industries, to provide for manl y sports which willead the Australia n y outh to s eek their recreation on the river's ba nk end mo untain bide of interest and beauty, rather than in the caf e the path of casino,and every to surround every homestead and wayfarer nweiwth elements newforms to thefood of the entire and to add people, the Council conceive that they are engaged in a work sufficiently n oble to secure the sympathies of every good man• And ofparents, in particular, they would ask, what may not be made of this fine colony when the seed this society is no w diligently seeking to sow shall have had time tofructify harvest P" THE MACKAY GREAT GUN.—This gun was again. tested on the Crossby Sands, near Liverpool, yesterday, with great success. The shots passed twice through a sec tion of the side of the iron plat.d ram Agincourt; and on being tested for range with a charge of 2003, of powder, made the first graze at a distance of 4,500 yards, which is, we understand, a sa ti s f actory proo f o f t h e v alue of the gun.

A MAN DECAPITATED ON A RAILiv.A.Y.--An in. quest which was not concluded unlit a late hour on Tuesday night, was hid before Mr. IV. Caster, coroner for East Surrey, at the Wandsworth and IlAttersea Union on the body of Stephen Largent, aged 36, who was horribly re a u r t k i 1 i t Stationate d by a u engine on the lin e near t h e B a tt ers ea Park of the Brighton Railway. O n S un day after. noon, about four o'clock, the deceased was proceeding along the line towards London, when an engine and tender struck him with tremendous force. He was found with his bead and one arm completeiy severed from his body. It was shown that the deceased, who was a respectable mechanic, had doubtless gone on to the line to seek for groundsel and cotton waste, some of which were found in his pockets. The Coroner having summed up, the jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death. FOREST OF SHADOWS !

Lacking those sensational movements on the Derby for which this meeting has in past years been celebrated, we should say that the dust and the heat, reminding one of Gozdwood at its brightest, were the features. In the re turn from the course yesterday the garments of the tra vellers were covered with a powder resembling snow, while the sun's rays in the enclosure this afternoon were sug gestive of sun-strokes, and umbrellas were in great request. The attendance was very large, the course being thronged with both carriages and foot people, while the Stand was, as on the previous day, crowded with a brilliant display of beauty. The Somersetshire Stakes is the important item of the second day, but this year the ac ce pt ance was a bad one, and the field reduced to s ma ll di mensions. Teneriffe and Bald win were about equal favourites, and they finished first and second, Sea King, who made the running most of the way, succumbing to the weight in the last half mile. A. large field (22 in number) came to the post for the Weston Stakes and of course there was considerable betting on the issue of this important two-year-old raeo. Missionary, a very fine looking colt of Lord Portsmouth's, was made the favourite, while, next to him, Mongrel, rosperity, the Mcestissima filly, and Ethelred were, as far as appearance went, the most reliable of the lot. There was, of course, the usual delay at the post, which we take as a matter of course in these two-year-old affairs; and after the flag fell it was soon evident that there were but two or three in the race. The Missionary was soon beaten, and, in company with away, leaving the issue to Etheii•ed an d Sh ra p ne l, who Mongrel, the Mcetissima filly, k rosp raced home together, the former wi nn i ng b y a nec k. A erity, eze„ dropped rather frivolous objection that some of the horses started before the post was overruled by the stewards. There was but little Derby speculation during the day. Copenhagen, 'after the race for the Somersetshire, was nominally at 20 to 1, though we do not believe he was backed at that price. Blair Athol was again sent to " the cold shade" at 20 to 1, and Hoilyfox was backed for a little money at his quoted price. The others remain the same as yesterday.

The start was delayed upwards of half an hour through the fractiousness of Black Rock, who repeatedly :broke away, and was left at the post when the flag was lowered. The Capucine filly was the first away, but•after running a few strides she was headed by Attraction and the favourite, Lord Burleigh going on fourth, with Hesper on his right, to the half-distance, when the two latter were disposed of, the favourite following suit as they neared the Stand, which left Mr. Dawson's filly in attendanoe upon the leader, but who was never enabled to get up, and was beaten very easily by three lengths, a neck dividing the second and third; Lord Burleigh was fourth, close up, and Hesper and Avondale, close together, fifth and sixth.

Tom Ashworth, with the favourite at his girths, made play, closely attended by Poland and the Sphynx filly to the distance, where the two former singled themselves out, and ran locked together to the Stand, where the favourite got up, and won in the last stride by a short head ; Poland finished third, fourth lengths in the rear, the Sphynx filly was fourth, and Sweyn fifth. The winner was bought in for 200 guineas. The Somersstshirc Stakes of 25 soya, each, 15 ft., and 5 if declared, with 100 soya added.

THE ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN v. THE UNITED ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN. the iLird day) this great At Lorh Ground yesterday ( and exciting match was continued. The wea,:Yler was again extremely fine, and a large number of evectaterS were pre amt. The United Eleven, in commencing their second intings l had 204 to get to win ; and the betting was in favour of all England, At twelve o'clock play was called, and Hearne and Jupp' went to the wickets, Slinn and Willsher being the bowlers, E. Stephenson wicket-keeper, and Rowbotham the long stop (a most ericient one). Jupp marked 6, and Hearne 4—the two wickets failing for 10 nine. Mortlock and Griffith (both Surrey men) got to gether, and soon taused the score to rise. Wootton, how ever, who had taken up the bowling at Willeher's end, dis posed of Griffith for 15, in which were a 3 and a 2 ; three wickets and 40 runs. Iddison joined Mortlock, and such was the fine hitting that the scorers were kept well em ployed. Mortlock added to the score 65, including a fine square leg hit for seven, the ball going out at the gate, and, crossing the road, rebounded against an opposite garden wall ; perhaps a couple of runs might have been saved had it not been for a carriage that entered the gateway at the time, causing the fieldsmen to lose sight of the ball. His other hits wore a 5, two 4's, four 3's, and six 2's; four wickets and 126 runs. Betting even. Ellis soon added 19, in which were two 4's, a 3, and two 2's; five wickets and 151 runs. Atkinson came next, and soon after Iddison was run t out, after contributing 44 by some first-class batting, his hits comprising two 3's and six 2's ; eiX wickets and 156 rune. Sewell next appeared, but Woot ton was not long before he found his way to Atkinson's stumps,;who left 7 to his name, in which were two 2's ; seven wickets and 171 runs. The scene now became very exciting, 33 runs only being required to get to win, and three wickets to go down. Bell became the partner of Sewell, and every run was anxiously noted. The former, however, was cautious, but he could not stop Wootton from Ogding his way to the stumps. Bell's 11 were well got, two 4's being among his figures. Eight wickets and 195 runs. Silva joined Sewell, and great excitement prevailed, only nine runs being wanted to gain a victory, and these they rubbed oft; Sewell being not out with 20, comprising two 4'f 3 and a 3, arid Silcock not out with 10, in which were two 2's. The latter gave the winning hit amidst much applause. Time, 4 4 m This is the 14th match; both re drawn.

GROUSE SHOOTING PROSPECTS.—The prospects of sportsmen for the ensuing shooting season in Perthshire are at present very encouraging. The weather has been all that could be desired since nest-building com menced, and during the last two weeks especially the sun has shone out brillian , ly every day. On all the moors of the county there is a large stock of grouse breeding, and a number of the more early nests were hatched a week age. Nests generally this season were well filled with eggs, and gamekeepers state that they found in numerous cases 10 eggs in a single nest. If the weather continue favourable the hatching season will so; n be over, and the groater part of the young broods past danger from floods. Thy grouse, with few exceptions, appear to be strong and healthy. All other kinds of game on bath high and low grounds are abundant and in goad condition. Capercailzie are breeding in large numbers in all the woods of Feral eire,—,Scotsmon. THE ACCLIMATIZATION SOCIETY OF VICTORIA. Certain circumstances connected with the pass. ing of the;vote - for the Acclimatization Society have led the Council to consider it desirable to state a few facts relating to their performance of the duties with which they have been charged. The Estimates were laid upon the table of the Assembly on Feb. 3, On the 4th sums amounting to £1,408,515 were voted. Among other items was that of £4,000 for the Acclimatization Society, the granting of which was coupled with a condition that £650 should be raised by private subscriptions. From the responsibility of that condition the Council have no desire to shrink, feeling well aware that from the wide feeling of sympathy with their efforts a demand can be met which might have been fatal to almost any other institution receiving Go vernment aid. The debate on the vote, and the condition accom panying it, however, have led the Council to believe that their transactions are less fully understood than they would wish them to be, and the rapidity with which the Estimates were procebded with took them so far by surprise as to prevent them from providing the Government with such statement of their proceedings as would, they believe, have con vinced the Legislature not only that the money voted was being well spent, but that no other pubs lie money is being expended to better advantage. The acclimatization, or, rather, the introduction and assimilation to a new set of conditions, of every good thing that the world contains to a country so singularly adapted as Australia to a wide range of products seems about as legitimate an enterprise as can be conceived. The gathering together in good condition, and in sufficient numbers to establish the species, foreign animals and plants is necessarily a very slow and delicate process, and mach time must obviously be expended before very decided results can bo ex pected. Most of these animals breed only once a year, and their natural increase is therefore tardy, however eminently they may prove themselves adapted to their new home. But a brief outline of whet is being done will be found not altogether barren of those results for the faller elaboration of which it is only reasonable to wait. The inauguration of the Acclimatization Society on its present footing is comparatively recent, as less than three years have claßecl Since it was amalgamated with and undertcok the duties of the ZJologlcli Committee. Since thee, in consequence of the increasin g . num b.-2r of animals, and the unhealthiness of the original site of the Zoological Gardens, an entirely new esta.blisbmem has had to be formed at the Royal Park, involving a very heavy expenditure infer cing, planting, forming exelvaticus for ponds, building superintendent's houso, shelter sheds, pens, The herd of camels brought from India at an expense of £l2O per head had become scattered, and were in a fair way of being annihilated, under the various exploratory expeditions. Such of them as could be saved have been collected at Mr Wilson's at the Wimmera, where they are now breeding re gularly, and forming the nucleus of probably a large herd, available et some future day either for exploration or conveying the produce of remoter stations in the more arid districts. The alpaca has been a constant source of interest with the society. Mr Duffield hes been constantly advised with and encouraged in his great experi ment, and has stated that, but for the co-operative spirit exhibited by the society, he should have pro bably transferred his energies to some other country. Meantime, the little flock of llamas and hybrids im ported from England have been diligently cared for, and their health and adaptation to the country watched. They have been crossed with pure alpacas, and young ones of the second cross are now being dropped. Since landing their numbers" have in creased from 19 to 66. The Angora goat is receiving great attention, and is likely to furnish a very valuable addition to the resources of our graziers and of experts to our mer. chants. A considerable number of the best strain of blood has lately been presented by the Acclima tizetion Society of France. Pure bred goats are now rapidly multiplying, and they are being crossed with the common goat in considerable numbersgour crosses being found to restore the original quality. Associated with the society, an enterprising gen tleman at Maryborough has imported a flock of the Cashmere goat, with which he is now experiment ing, affording an instance of the manner in Whi c h the society is now executing one enterprise se f p i r t i sp t r o in a ci v p a c il l functions, in inducing forei gn itself of the information and organisation of the society. Various breeds of sheep have been introduced and are being experimented with, some of them showing signs of a peculiar adaptability to a hot climate. While devoting this amount of attention to such animals as the camel, the alpaoa, the Angora goat, and the sheep, which may be considered as more immediately interesting to the mercantile and pas toral classes, the sportsman has not been forgotten. The fallow deer, the Indian elk, the beautiful spotted axis deer, have been successfully im ported, bred from, and turned loose at Wilson's Promontory, the Wimmera, the Sugarloaf, and the Bunyip. Numerous specimens of the hog deer of India, a beautiful deer from Manilla, and another from Formosa are still in the possession of the so ciety, with a view to their multiplication and ultimate release, and fresh importations of the deer tribe are almost of weekly occurrence. The hare has beep sent to the society by the d Zoological Society of London, and has been , turne d out grouse, out and is now breeding freely on Phillip Is-an Vdrions breeds of and some have been and qua ;( have been introduced, be mentioned the pheasants, partridges, liberated.
