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 on in consequence of their making a drunken row. Instead of doing so they assaulted him, and he arrested tvvo of them, but their comrades rescued them, and knocked him down, kicked him, and dragged him along the ground by his staff, which was fastened to his wrist. Daring the struggle Thanes 'Lockley's brother, who is one of the prisoners, Was wielding a large open clasp knife, and a civilian who attempted to take it from him had his hand cut. Thomas Lockley was afterwards heard to say, "Come back and lot Its murder the -;" and he was seen to go up to the deceased as he lay on the road, and, having called out, " Stand out of the way, let me settle the --," he dashed upon the left side of his head, a little above the ear, a broken brick. The officer then became insensible, and was carried bleeding into the residence of a gentleman living near. On Wed nesday last delirium set in, and the surgeons deemed it necessary to take away five piecos of the skull, altogether about the size of a florin, and also some of the brain, Con vulsions came on, however, and ho died yesterday morning at six o'clock, in the presence of his sister, in his room at the police barracks. The deceased officer was an exceed ingly quiet malt, and greatly respected by the other mem bers of the force. THN NEW EMBANKMENT.--.Thatilt goodness, We are going to get rid of the clumsy old dummy and the rickety stage leading to it, which have so long dig. graced our noble river. As the embankment Will be pis. jetted so far into the river, there will aitaYs be siglicient water close to it, and the flow of the stream will no longer be impeded by clumsy wind= piers which would disgrace a fishing village. In their place indentations will be made in the face of the ttabanknient wall, and the floating stage will be approached I T long flights of stone Steps parallel to tie wall itself, whilst inttt,,bincent blocks of surmounted With ittaMing groups of :; I tatuary, will r g e r '.7i i n t cl:na of 1901310 of the poetical visions of J, W.

The land at that portion of the embank ment lying behind Whitehall-gardens is Government pro- V.rty : it is impossible, therefore, to say how that portion of it not occupied by the roadway will be used ; but in all probability, it will be simply planted, and this portion of the line, backed by the existing gardens of Whitehall-place and of Buccleuch House, and still further on, of the finely timbered grounds of Northumberland House, will furnish a noble background of verdure very attractive to the eye. We shall see once more Inigo Jones's beautiful water gate revived, and no longer standing as a sham at t'ne bottom of Buckingham-street, but a real gateway for the living tide making use of the now disused landing -place at this spot. At Hungerford-bridge, another noble landing. place for steamboats will project ornamental piers into the river, and break in some measure the monotony of the balustrades of the river wall, by riling at least 30 feet above it, crowned with ecuinture,—NO a Week, 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 Goodwood at its brightest, were the features. la 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 c,f 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 y ear the acceptance was a bad one, and the field reduced to s ma ll dimensions. 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 race. Missionary, a very fine looking colt of Lord P ortsmouth's, was'made the favourite, while, next to him, Mongrel, Prosperity, the Mosstissima 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 wer e b ut two or three in the race. The Missionary was soon b eaten, and, iu company w i th away, leaving the issue to Eth e l red and Shrapnel, w h o Mongrel, the Meetissima Prosperity, &c,, dropped raced home together, the former winning by a neck. A rather frivolous objection that some of the horses started before the post was overruled by the stewards. There was brit 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 c' the cold shade" at 20 to 1, and 11oilyfolt was backed for a little money at his quoted price. The oth ers 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 runaing a few strides she was headed by Attraction and the favourite, Lcrd Burleigh going on fourth, with 'ham 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 attendance upon the leader, but wh o 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 Reaper and Avondale, close together, fifth and sixth.

They 'retained these positions until they reached the distance, where Raglan was disposed of; Minstrel at the same time headed Redcap and won very easily by half a length; a bad third.

THE ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN V. THE UNITED ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN. At Lord's Ground yesterday (the third day) this great and exciting match was continued. The weather was again extremely fine, and a large number of spectators were pre sent. The United Eleven, in commencing their second innings, 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 efficient one). Jupp marked 6, and Hearne 4—the two wickets falling for 10 runs. Mortlock and Griffith (both Surrey men) got to gether, and soon caused the score to rise. Wootton, how ever, who had taken up the bowling at Willsher's end, dis posed of Griffith for 15, iu which were a 3 and a 2 ; three wickets and 40 runs. Iddison joined Morticek, and such was the fine hitting that the scorers were kept well em ployed. Mortlock added to the score 65, including a fine equare 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 were a 5, two 4's, four 3's, and six 2's; four wickets and 126 runa. Betting even. Ellis soon added 19, in which were two 4'B, a 3, and two 2's; five wickets and 151 runs. Atkinson came next, and soon after Iddleon was run out, after contributing 44 by some first-class batting, his hits comprising two 3's and six Vs ; six wickets and 156 runs. Sewell next appeared, but Woot ten was not long before he found his way to Atkinson's stumpe,: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, Tho former, however, was cautious, but he could not stop Wootton from figding his way to tho stumps, Bell's 11 were well got, two 4's being among his figures. Eight wickets and 195 runs: Silcock joined Sewell, and groat excitement prevailed, only nine ttlna being wanted to gain a victory, and these they r ;;NJed off, SeWell being not out with 20, comprising two 4's an d a 3 , b ad Silcock not out with 10, in which were t*o 2's. 'fhe latter gavethe winning hit amidst much applause. Time, 445 p.m. This is the 14th match; both sides have won six and two were 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 brilliantly 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 continuo favourable the hatching season will soon be over, and the greater part of the young broods past danger from foods. The grouse, with few exceptions, appear to be strong and healthy. All other kinds of game on both high and low grounds are abundant and in good condition. Capercailzie are breeding in large numbers in all the woods of Perth shire,—,Scoinnan.

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 fetal 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 proceeded 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 pub• 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 much time must obviously be expended before very decided results can be 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 what is being done will be found not altogether barren of those results for the fuller 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 elapsed since it was amalgamated with and undertook the duties of the Zoological Committee. Since then, in consequence of the increasing num ber of animals, and the unhealthiness of the original site of the Zoological Gardens, an entirely new establishment has had to be formed at the Royal Park, involving a very heavy expenditure in fercing, planting, forming excavations for ponds, building superintendent's house, shelter sheds, pens, &e. 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 at 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 has 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 56. The Angora goat is receiving great attention, and is likely to furnish a very valuable addition to the resources of our graziers and of exports to our mer• chants. A considerable number of the best strain of blood has lately been presented by the Acelima. tization Society of France. Pure bred goats are now rapidly multiplying, and they are being crossed with the common goat in considerable numbers,lfour 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 which the society is now executing one of its principal functions, in inducing foreign enterprise to avail 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 attentien to such animals as the camel, the alpaca, the Angora goat, and the sheep, which may be considered as more immediately interesting to the mercantile and pas toral classeti, 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 go ciety, with a view to their multiplication and ultimate release, and fresh importations of the deer tribe aro almost of weekly occurrence. _ The hare has been sent to the society by the Zoo logical Society of London, and has been turned out and r: row breeding freely on Phillip Island. ti'aricna breeds of pheasants, partrid ges , grouse, and quail have been introduced, and some ha ve been liberated. Among those may be men tioned e Californian quail, which has bred after being liber ated in the Botanical-gardens and Phillip Island, and the Algeriue sand grouse, of which a considera ble number have been imported, and which from their hardy nature and the similarity of their Otigi. nal climate may be considered highly a d, pzec 1 to this country. The English wild duck has been imported, has multiplied very freely, and now visits the lagoon at t h e Botanical -g a rdens in nearly equal - numbers to bred at the Royal Park, the indigenousmwi t o e o r s - e f o h w t‘ j. s a nd promises to be thoroughly acclimatized. Th e wild pea fowl of Ceyl on h as thriven and bred in the charge of the cocioty, and can soon be set at liberty. The white swan has bet:u .introduced in consider' But as illustrating by a small success the won derful results capable of attainment by acelim e ti se _ tion if adopted on a proper scale, the Council % sa id refer to the fact of having introduced living speci mens of the sea fishes of Europe in the shape of the gray mullet and the edible crab; not, indeed, in numbers sufficient to justify a hope of establishing the breed, but amply suggestive of what will be 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 year, been ruined by the caterpillar, and similar :15t salr;ly be expected. The introduction of insect-destroying birds has therefore 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 surrounded. The thrush, the blackbird, the skylark, the starling, the chaffinch, the sparrow, the Chinese sparrow, the Java sparrow, and a most active and interesting bird, the Indian wino, 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 the world; and to gentlemen in England, France, India, Ceylon, and China the society 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 been in duced to take up the project of acclimatization with an amount of consideration altogether without pre cedent, the Foreign and Colonial-offices having recently sent to British emissaries in all countries in the world a series of questions as to the various desirable natural products of each country, and, thu Admiralty has issued a oil cular to all commanders of her Majesty's ships, directing them to render every service in their power to the cause of aced matizatiou in the conveyance of specimens. In almost every colony in these seas acclimatiza tion societies have been foundod.,most of them pay ing that of Victoria the compliment of taking it KS their model, and with Sydney, Hobart Town, Me laid, Brisbane, Auckland, Lyttelton, and 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., ment 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. bated to the National Museum from the collection of the society. The Council of the society sa composed of gentle men who have no personal object to serve. They attend the weekly meetings at the cost of consider able 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 th a t results' have been obtained sufficient to carry conviction to any un. 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 syste• matic acclimatisation, and from the almost illimit able range of the objects with which it seeks to deal, a fertile topic is afforded to the sneers of the thoughtless and the misrepresentations of th e il l ' informed.

A MAN DECAPITATED ON A EAILWAY,.--An 11. quest which was not concluded until a late hour on Tuesday night, was held before Mr. W. Carter, coroner for East Surrey, at the Wandsworth and Battersea - Union on thebody of byS an engine on the line near th e Batterseatephen Largent, aged 36, who was horribly mutilitated Park Station of the Brighton Railway. On Sunday after noon, about four o'clock, the deceased was prooeeding s t r uck him with tremendous force. Ile was found with his along the lino towa rds Lo ndon, when an engine and tender head 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 verdict of Accidental Death,
