" The little racecourse at Hampton" has been materially altered in its externals Since the day when Sir Mulberry Hawk and Lord Frederick Verisopht strolled about the can vas hells, and quarrelled and fought within sight and sound of the noble river, and Charles Dickens gave us that admir able description of a racecourse, one of the most graphic of the many graphic ones that have come from his pen. We do not know that it has altered for the better. The diligent searcher would probably find as much genteel ruffianism in existence now as 20 years since ; noble lords and honour able gentlemen still congregate there, mixed up with all the objectionable features that peculiarly distinguish a me tropolitan gathering. This year the weather was far from propitious. A hailstorm, such as is not often seen in January much less in June, accompanied 'with thunder and light ning, heralded in the proceedings. The attendance was but moderate, and hardly up to the usual Hampton mark, and the fields were small and not remarkable for quality. Mr Hodgman's colours were first past the chair in the Two-Year-Old Hampton and Claremont Stakes, the style in which his colt Victorious won the latter, even from the moderate lot he encountered, stamping him as something superior. The Surrey and Middlesex was denuded of much of its interest from sundry" scratching s " of horses who had held prominent positions in the betting w i th i n the l ast few days, In the absence of Early Purl, the other representative of the stable, they made Welcome the favourite at 3 to 1. He is a slow horse, but the rather hwY ground suited him, and he managed to run second to Suspicion, who won cleverly by three parts of a length. Nothing b u t th e th r e e placed were in the race from the distance. The other events call for no particular notice beyond what our return gives. There was an improvement visible in the arrangements for clearing the eourse, for which for merly Hampton had a bad pre-eminence. Punctuality could hardly be expected, the weather taken into considera tion. The following are the details of the running : The Two Year-old Stakes of 3 sous each, with 25 added, for 2-yr-olds; colts Bst 101 b, and fillies Bst 71b. Winners extra, and horses having started twice and never won allowed 31b. Half-mile. 7 subs. 4 Mr Hodgman's Vision, Bst 121 b ..............

Bobierre treats of the chemical composition of rainwater collected in cities at different altitudes. Finding it impossible to apply to agronomy the:numbers expressing the relative abundance of nitric acid, ammonia, organic matter, &c„ in the rain-water collected in large cities, he resolved to place udometers at very distinct stations, and analyse their pro duce. The waters _hus obtained and examined by him were collected on the platform of the Observatory at Nantes, at an altitude of 50 metres, and then in a low part of the town, only about seven metres above lowr water mark. During the year 1863, ho evaporated 372 litres of water in an oil bath, under the action of carbonate of potash, and thus determined every month the nitrogen of the fixed organic matter, as well as that of the nitric acid and chlorine detected in the water ; after which, by fractional distillation, he determined the ammoniacal nitrogen, the substances existing in the water in a state of suspension being separated by filtration and examined through the microscope. Thehicon elusions at which he arrives through his experi ments aro these :-1. The composition of the rain-water collected in largo towns is extremely variable. 2. The variations observed, and resulting from the purification of the atmosphere by washing, are particularly remarkable on account of the quantity of ammonia, nitric acid, and organic substances they contain. 3, The greater the agglomeration of animal life, the greater the quantity of ammonia and organic matter in rain water. 4. At an altitude of 47 metres, in the rain water collected at Nantes, the average dose of ammonia was about two grammes per cubic metre ; at an altitude of seven metres it was about six grammes. 3. As the ammonia diminishes so the nitric acid increases; it was seven grammes at an altitude of 47 metres, and only five grammes at seven metres. 6. At Nantes the cubic metre of rain water contained 14 grna. of chlorides expressed in sea salt. 7. In order correctly to ascertain the quantity of fertilising matter brought by rain -water, experiments should be in stituted in the open country. 8, In a sanitary point of view, the analysis of rain-water reveals the vitiated state of the atmosphere under circumstances in which the' direct analysis of the atmosphere would bo insufficient.

The third race of the season amongst yachts of this dis tinguished club came off yesterday, but owing to the very unpromising state of the weather in the morning the attend ance of visitors on board the club steamer, the Eagle, was very thin. Throughout the day the wind was squally and variable, accompanied by heavy showers of rain and a thunder storm in the afternoon, after which there was ever and anon a calm. The race was with yachts of the fourth class, for prizes in plate, value £3O for the first boat, and £lO for the second, and the following contended : Yachts. Tons. Owners. Dione Quiver Octoroon Folly There was a time allowance of half a minute per ton, and the course was from Gravesend to the Nore Light and back. Mr Charles Tatham, a very old and experienced yachts man, was the officer of the day, in the absence of the noble Commodore, Lord Alfred Paget, and the Yice, Lord De Roe, but the latter superintended the arrangement of the cutters at their stations. The wind was west and by south, and plenty of it, as will be seen by the time in which the yachts ran down to the Nore. The race was started at 11h. 48m. There was no advantage in position, and the cutters all canted at the same moment, the Octoroon, however, waiting till her mainsail jibed over before she fairly set it. The Dione first showed her jib-headed topsail, and the others immediately followed her example, but with square ones. The Folly took the lead, followed by the Quiver, which just below Tilbury ran into the first place, the Folly close behind her with her sheet right off; but in the lower part of Gravesend Reach t he Foll y a g ain drew past the Quiver. They we nt down ri g ht before the wind, shifting a t o p sa ils and carrying as much canvas as they could well s t an d under, the wind freshening as the squlls camo on. The Octoroon soon filled the second place, and then there became a gap of a cable's length between the first and second boats; but there being a lull at Leigh, they were all together again with scarcely half a dozen yards between them, when the Folly by judicious sailing again drew ahead and they rounded the Noro Light as follows : H. M. S. Folly Quivor O c toroon ...... 2 4 0 Diono - They jibed round the lightship to the northward. The Dione did not round well, losing time by going to leeward, still carrying her jibheaded topsail, while the rest struck theirs. As the ebb tido was still running, and the yachts had to beat dead to windward all the way up, they courted the slack. In the first board the Quiver went out right to windward of the Folly, who shortly after was observed with a reef down, the wind at the time being very heavy and squally, and the Octoroon shortly after reached through her lee. With the squall the wind came out from the north-west, and they were all broken off. Just below Southand the Quiver was leading by a quarter of a mile, the Octoroon being second, and Folly third. Then came a thunderstorm, a calm, and some oatspaws. The Folly, having kept well close to the south shore, got a nice breeze of wind, and passing the Oc toroon, went very near to the Quiver, and so close were they all through that the slightest reischame would have changed TENTH VOLUME OF ONCE A WEEK.

We are gratified in being able to announce that the regattas of the Thames will be concluded on Saturday next by a splendid match to the Isle of Wight. The following are the conditions of a match emanating from the yachts men of the Union Yacht Clubhouse, Gravesend, and which promises to produce an entry of at least 20 starters, viz.:— Sweepstakes of five sous each for schooners, yawls, and cutters ; a time race ; double Ackers' scale ; to start at 10 a.m. on Saturday next, June 18, off the Union Yacht Club-house, Gravesend, according to directions hereafter to be stated. Entries to close at midnight with the secretary, Royal Thames Yacht Club, Albemarle-street, on Friday, 17th June, or with Mr Bedford, at the Union Yacht Club house, Gravesend. Several vessels have already been en tered, including the schooners Galatea, Madcap, and the cutters Marina, Amazon, &c. Doubtless many more will join this day and to-morrow. We understand the manage ment of the match will be left to the noble vice -commodore, Lord De Ros. It was at first proposed to make this race on Monday; but as owners are anxious to get to the westward, Waterloo day has been preferred as well worthy of this spirited movement, i ~ i~~ ~ s~ PUGILISM, JOSEPH WORMALD AND GEORGE ILES (HICKS'S BIG ONE), FOR £so.—The catch-weight match between these members of the P.R. took place yesterday on the Home Circuit, and was brought to a satisfactory issue. Wormald is known to the patrons of the art from his match with Jem Mace's Black; and from the manner in which he ac quitted himself upon that occasion he was looked upon as a promising candidate for fistic honours. He is 23 years of age, stands sft ilia, and weighed when he last scaled 122 st. He is a fine-made, powerful young fellow, but for the pre sent encounter was in no scrt of condition ; indeed, on Fri day last he was considered so decidedly unfit to stand the wear and tear of a contest, that his friends entertained seri. ous doubts whether they ought not to forfeit the money without letting the affair come to trial. Iles, who has gained the sobriquet of "Hick's Big One," has never fought before within the ropes ; but this new importation from the provinces was considered well qualified to gain " milling " distinction. He is a native of Bristol, stands Gft liin, and weighed, as he stated, 131 stone; so that, to make use of the words so often used by the late much-respected Tom Spring, " If good enough, he was big enough for anything." The betting was even, and when the com batants had been got in readiness by their seconds they were conducted to the scratch, and at 20 minutes past five o'clock, were left to begin the contest. On getting toge ther the men displayed caution, and owing to the reluctance manifested on both sides to make the first " plunge," the opening bout occupied 20 minutes. Wormald, in the second round, obtained the first of the leading events by a neat left-hander ; and it soon became apparent that he was much more expert in the use of his digits than his antago nist, who displayed little or no knowledge of the art, and when he made some of his left-handed lunging hits did so in a very inartistic fashion. Iles ought from the commence ment to have forced the fighting, but this he did not do, much to the dissatisfaction of his seconds, until the, battle was far advanced. Two rounds were fought in 35 r:iutcs, three in 45 minutes, six in 56 minutes, and nine rounds were gone through in one hour and ene minute, reproof that' the milling thus far had been slow work ; indeed, from the reluctance which the combatants .showed to get to range, many were of opinion that the battle would terminate in a "draw." From the 17th round, however, the men having " roused up," the milling became of a lively description ; and in the 24th and last bout, Wormald, with a straight left-hander, followed up with one from the right, gave his "opponent his quietus, and was hailed the winner. the con test having lasted two hours and eight minutes. The New City Traffic Regulation Act. A statement has just been put forth, under the authority of a committee of the Court of Aldermen, as to the pro ceedings taken on the part of the Corporation for carrying out the provisions of the City of London Traffic Regulation Act of last year. This document embodies a correspondence which has passed between Sir G. Grey, the Home Secre tary, and the Corporation on the subject, and from which it appears that Sir George, with the Attorney and Solicitor- General on the one hand, and the Court of Aldermen with the law officers of the Corporation on the other, are directly at variance in many respects as to the powers conferred by the new act upon the Court of Aldermen to regulate the traffic. For the present the result of this difference seems to be, in the opinion of the Recorder of London, the Com mon Sergeant, and the rest of the law officers, " to render nugatory what has been considered one of the most impor tant provisions of the act," and the Court of Aldermen, they add, have no course open to them but to confine the by-laws which they had submitted for the sanction of the Home Secretary to those approved by the law officers of the Crown. These are only three in number of 17. The first prescribes the route to be followed by passenger carriages going from St Paul's-churchyard tctthe further side of Lon don-bridge and returning—viz., by Cannon-street; the second provides that no vehicle shall be driven through the streets between 9 in the morning and 6 in the evening laden to a greater height than 10ft, measuring from the ground, or to a greater width than 7ft; and the third prohibits driving of carts and waggons with logs of wood, metal, scaffolding poles, masts, and the like, exceeding 25ft in length or Bft Sin in:breadth, within the same hours. By the by-laws, which have been rejected by Sir G. Grey, the conducting of any kind of locomotive propelled by steam between 6 in the ',morning and 10 at night, except a steam fire-engine actually going to or returning from a fire, was to be strictly prohibited. No coals, beer, wine, or other liquid in casks, conveyed in carts, waggons, or vans were to be allowed to be delivered in 24 of the principal streets of the city, which were named, between 9in the morning and 5 in the even ing. The sale of vegetables, fruit, fish, or other articles car ried upon any truck or vehicle was prohibited betwen 9 in the morning and 6 in the evening in the same streets, and on London and Elaokfriars bridges. Every waggon and van was to be placed with its side parallel with the foot pavement when being loaded or unloaded, or stopped for any other purpose. Upwards of 70 principal places were in dicated at which in the whole 88 shoeblacks might ply their calling, and the Commissioner of the city police was em powered, for the public convenience, to alter or increase the standings or the number of shoeblacks so that the number of standing places did not exeeed 160,.and the number of shoeblacks, 300 in the whole. These were the principal re gulations ; but there were others prohibiting the obstruc tion of streets and footways by persons with various enu merated articles for sale, or by goods or merchandise during removal, so as to hinder or incommode a free passage. A power is conferred by the act which the Alderman have not, as yet, exercised, namely, to regulate the mode of distin guishing hackney cabs when empty and when actually ply 'lag for hire. Of all their functions this is the mos t clearly i d e fi n ed, and it was intended to meet one of the most patent and vexatious obstructions of the legitimate traffic in all the chief thoroughfares—namely, the loitering in them of e mpty cabs on the look-out for ,customers, instead of re pairing to the nearest cabstand. The code of by-laws which we have epitomised was pre pared by the Committee of Aldermen, in conjunction w ith the Commissioner of Police, the City Solicitor, and the clerks to the magistrates at the Mansion-house and Guildhall justice-rooms. It was afterwards approved by the Court of Aldermen, and, having been published in ee -1 cordance with the statute, Was forwarded to Sir Geo. Grey for his sanction on 4th December last, together with certain suggestions for its modification, so as to meet the wishes and requirements of the wine and spirit trade and the build ing trade, in respect to parts of the regulations which were likely to press seriously upon them. The Home Secretary replied, on 22d December, that no power appeared to be given by the act to him to alter the by-laws made under its authority, and that his province was only to approve them. He enclosed two complaints which had been addressed to him on the part of persons whose trading operations it was alleged would be prejudicially affected by the proposed re gulations. One was a letter from Mr Alderman Salomons, calling his attention to the entire prohibition of the sale of fruit from barrows and trucks in the City between the hours of 9in the morning and 6in the evening. This, wrote the alderman, "is closing the city as a thoroughfare to an in dustrious, and, indeed, a useful class, who retail a cheap and wholesome luxury to the working classe s of the mV.reocptionli, to metropolis. the he other was from a brewery firm at Ratcliff, objecting h a clause apparently, to them, so sweeping astoprjoheibuiste in delivery of a cask of beer for p rivate use at any certain streets, referred to by name, between 09faarde. aldermen, d en 5 p.m. The reply on the pa rt of the committee under date of Jan. 21, was that the clause in question was never intended to apply to the delivery of beer by retail, and that, alter due consideration, they did not see any reason to alter the regulation cited by Alderman Salomons. On Jan 29th, referring to the regulations which, with some modifi cations, had been submitted to him for his opinion by the civic authorities preparatory to their being published, the Home Secretary wrote thus : it The first question which presents itself to Sir George G r ey is, whether they are strictly within the power of making by-laws which is given to the Court of the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of London by the third section of the act of 1863, and are confined to the special //,r purposes defined by that section. Sir G. Grey regrets to say that he feels great doubts upon this point, He deems it un necessary to refer to all the instances in which, as ft appears' to him, it may be contended that the Court has exceeded the power intrusted to it by the act. He will refer, for the sake of example, to a few instances only, By-law No. 2 prohibits during certain hours any vehicle drawn by more than four horses in the streets—that is, in all streets without any restriction or limitation. By by-law No, 6 the delivery of coals, beer, wine, or other liquid in casks is prohibited dur ing certain hours in certain streets. By by-law No. 12 the sale of a variety of at tides carried upon vehicles is forbiddea in certain streets. By by-law No. 15 the Court not only ap poins standings for shoeblacks, but delegates its authority its that respect in future to the Commissioner of City police. Sir G. Grey cannot find that any express or implied power is conferred by the late act which authorises these regula tions, and he therefore requests to be informed whether the by-laws have been submitted to the legal advisers of the Corporation of London, and, if so, whether they are of opinion that all the by-laws are in conformity with the act, and can be enforced by the penalties therein provided." Upon the receipt of this letter the Recorder and the Com mon-Sergeant were consulted with special reference to the objections urged by the Secretary of State, and they gave it as their 'opinion that the draught regulations, with the exception of the proviso to the 15th, relating to the power given to the Police Commissioner with respect to shoeblacks, which should be expunged, were within the power conferred upon the Corporation by the act, The Attorney and Solicitor General, to whom the pro posed by-laws have since been submitted by the Rome Secre tary for their opinion, express their regret that they cannot agree with the opinion given by the Recorder and Common- Sergeant. They go on to say, "Of the by-laws in question the Ist, 4th, sth, 16th, and part of the 15th, down to' the proviso, are clearly conformable to the act, and may be enforced by the penalties therein provided ; but the rest of the by-laws, however proper and expedient such regulations may be in themselves, seem to us to be beyond the scope of the authority given by the Act, and therefore not liable to be enforced by its penalties," In support of this view the law officers of the Crown 'proceed to give reasons. The opinion of the Recorder and Common-Sergeant has since been fortified by those of Mr Brand, the Controller of the Corporation—Mr Corrie, the Remembrancer—and Mr Nelson, the City Solicitor. There the matter rests for the present, the Court of Aldermen contenting themselves with giving effect to the three by-laws out of the 17 cited above. Inspection of the Civil Service Rifles by the Prince of Wales. The inspection of the 21st Middlesex (Civil Set. vice) Rifles, which, in consequence of the presence of its honorary colonel, the Prince of Wales, will be registered as the annual official inspection of this excellently-drilled corps, took place last evening in the quadrangle of Somerset House, before a large and distinguished assemblage. Every preparation. to do honour to the auspicious event was made. The quadrangle was tastefully hung with a varied series of Admiralty signals, interspersed with union jacks and standards ; on either side were ranged tempo rary seats for the accommodation of visitors admitted by tickets, while on the west side of the square a raised dais, decorated with bunting and covered with a delicately white awning, over which floated the Prince of Wales' standard, was erected for the reception of the Prince and Princess. Soon after three o'clock a body of the A Division, under the direction of Superintendent Durkin, assisted by Inspector Denning, were stationed at the entrance gates and in the enclosure. Half-past five was the appointed time for the arrival of his royal highness, but long before that hour every seat was occupied, the fair sex being the most numerous. At four o'clock the various com panies assembled in the quadrangle, to the number of 400 rank and file. • . The men having been put through a preliminary . drill by .Major I\lill, assisted by Captain and Adju tant Lombard,- Lieutenant-Colonel Viscount Bnry, M.P., took command, and rehearsed the men in the Movements through which they subsequently passed before his royal highness, leaving them formed in wings in readiness to give the royal salute, &o. During the interval that elapsed between this and the arrival of the Prince and Princess, Viscountess Bury, accompanied by the Countess of Albemarle, Lady Suffield, Mre. Loyd Lindsay, Lady William Compton, Miss Compton, and Lady Augusta Keppel, took their seats on the dais behind the chairs of state. There were also present, amongst other dis tinguished personages, the Earl of Albemarle, Lord Suffield, Lieutenant-Colonel Loyd Lindsay, &c. A little before 6 o'clock distant cheers announced the approach of the Prince and Princess, and im. mediately afterwards the royal carriage drove through the lines of volunteers to the dais. Upon alighting their royal highnesses were received with a royal salute, the men presenting arms and the band striking up the first bars of the National Anthem. The Princess was received by Ladv:Bury and ushered to her seat, while the Prince, upon ascending the dais, graciously acknowledged the general greeting accorded him by all present. The Prince, who wore the undress uniform of a general officer, was attended by Gen. Knollys and Col. Keppel. The Princess was attired in mourning, and attended by Lady Carmarthen. The Prince, accompanied by Lord Bury and followed by Gen. Knollys and Col. Kep pel, walked down the lines and inspected the men; he then returned and took up his position on the dais, and the manoeuvres, directed by Lord Bury, were commenced. At their conclusion, the Prince stepped into the centre and said, " Gentlemen, I need hardly tell you the great pleasure I feel at being present at this inspection, and the satisfac tion I have experienced in witnessing your manoeuvres. Under the able tuition of Col. Lord Bury, you have had great opportunities of become ing efficient in your drill. It occurs to me from the great steadiness you have acquired, that you must have paid great attention to drill. I had this square formed so that I might present you with my chal lenge cup, and I have great pleasure in doing so., The Prince then handed the challenge cup to Lord Bury, and a cup to the winner, Mr. Burroughs, of the Whitehall Company. Three cheers were then given for the Prince, three for Denmark, and the Prince and Princess drove away amidst the cheers of all present. THREATENED OUTBREAK AT DARTMOOR PRISON. —On Monday m orn i ng last, when the body of conv i cts at Dartmoor were marched out of their prison to their labour on the Moor, it became apparent that a mutinous combina tion had been formed amongst them, and that a serious outbreak had been planned. On being told to break off for Work, not a man moved to fall out of the ranks, and the order was answered with a defiant murmur and a dogged refusal to perform any work at all. A ringleader met every persuasion or order of the warders with the most dreadful imprecations and threats. But every available precaution had been taken. The armed civil guard, which had been augmented and posted within hail, was called in, and the ringleaders and most prominent malcontents were at once marched back to prison, where they were locked in separate cells to await the punishment which will be awarded by Captain Gambier, the visiting director. The cause of the mutiny was the application of the new reduced scale of diet. For some months past the governors of con. vict prisons have had orders to adopt the reduced scale of diet, which was approved by the commission of doctors under the authority of the Secretary of State. Up t o Sunday last these orders had not been adopted in Dartmoor prison, and the old scale provided by the late Sir Joshua Jebb was adhered to.
