The leading lot continued in pretty close order over the remainder of the fences until reaching the farm-house, where Cheviot increased her lead, and Pan taloon dropped back into the rear. After jumping the second hurdle from home, the Useless Brute began to put on the steam, and, coming on with a wet sail, passed hie horses in succession, until he came up to Cheviot, but being nearly pumped 9t, Cheviot drew away from him after clearing the last hurdle, and won easily by a couple of lengths; Johnny a bad third; Brine was next; and Pan taloon and Surrogate cantered in 100 yards in the rear of Brine, A Selling Steeplechase of 3 sous each, with 25 added ; four-yr-olds, lOst 101 b ; five, list 71b ; six and upwards, list 121 b; the winner to be sold fur £5O ; if entered to be sold for £3O, allowed 71b.

This order was maintained until nearing the enclosure the first time round, where Miss Emma passed The Screw, and led round the top turn, Ironsides and Light of Other Days third an d fourth, to the second fencenut of the winning field, which Light of Other Days refused. He had to be put at it a second time, when he got safely over, but by his refusal lost many lengths. Going along the back-stretch Light of Other Days again got on good terms with his horses, Iron. sides dropping back, and when coming over the big meadow past the farmhouse was at least 20 lengths from his horse, The Screw still leading, Miss Emma and the favourite well up. At the flight of hurdles entering the straight The Screw blundered, and Light of Other Days joined Miss Emma, but before reaching the last jump Ironsides had joined them, and, quitting the pair half way up the straight, won easily by four lengths.

(BY ONE OF IHE CREW.) About the Bth or 1001 August, 1862, I signed articles at the Sailors' Home, Liverpool, to ship in the British steamship Bahama, Capt. Tessier, for a voyage to Nassau and tack. The Bahama went out of the Bramley Moore Dock the same night, about 12 o'clock, and went into the river, and lay to. Capt. Semmes, Capt. James D. Bullock, and some other officers came on board, and about half-past seven o'clock, a.m., a tug boat came alongside with some seamen on board ; the tug boat accompanied us out about 10 miles. The tug then left us, and a tall gentleman, with a reddish face, and pock-marked, who came from Cunard, Wilson, and Company's office in Liverpool, left us, and went into the tug. As he left us he said, " I hope you will make a good thing of it, and that you will stop where you are going to." We then proceeded on our voyage, and stood out some days, when we found we were going to the Western Isles. About the 17th or 18th August we arrived at Terceira, and we there found the Alabama and the barque A ggripin a, from London. Captain Butcher,* an Englishman, of Liverpool, who took the Alabama out from Liverpool, and who was on board, hailed us, and told us to go round the island, and he would be after us; but it would take them three-quarters of an hour to get steam up. We went on, and he followed us. The Alabama went under the lee of the island, and a shot was fired across the Bahama's bows from a battery on shore. So we stopped out until the morning. In the morning we went along side the Alabama, and some small cases and a safe containing money, were passed into the Alabama from our ship ; and wo then parted and anchored a little distance from her ; and the barque Aggri pine went and discharged the remainder of her cargo into the Alabama. During this time, Captain Semmes and Cap t ain Bullock were going back wards and forwards to the Alabama, but would not let any of the officers go. On Sunday, the 24th August, Captain Semmes came on board the Bahama, and called us under the bridge—he him self and the officers standing on the bridge. He addressed us and said, "Now, my lads, there is the ship" (pointing to the Alabama), " she is as fine a vessel as ever floated ; there is a chance which seldom offers itself to a British seaman—that is to make a little money. lam not going to put you alongside of a frigate at first, but after I have got will give you a nice little H e sa id, "There are only six sh i ps that I you fight." drilled a little, I am afraid of in the United States navy." He said, " We are going to burn, sink, and destroy the com merce Your prize money will be dividedof the Un ited proportionately,Statee according to each man's rank, something similar to the English navy." Some of the men objected, being Naval Re s erve men. Captain Semmes said, "Never mind that—l will yon He canthe then said , make that all right. I will put you in English three months ." Your book signed every " There is Mr. Kell on the deck, and all those who are desirous of going with me, let them go aft, and give Mr. Kell their names." A great many m w on h t e h r e e .' y ' went aft, but some refused. A boat came from the Alabama, and those who had agreed to go Went on board. Captain Semmes and the officers went on board. Mr. Low, the fourth lieutenant, then appeared in uniform, and he came on board the B a h ama, endeavouring to induce the men to come forward and join; and he succeeded in getting the best part of us. I was one who went at the last minute. When I got on board the Alabama, I found a great number of men that had gone on board of her from Liverpool. Cepa' Semmes then addressed us on board the Alabama, and Captain Butcher was there also—who had taken the vessel out: Captain Semmes said he hoped" we should content ourselves, and be comfortable one amongst another, but any of you that thinks he cannot stand to his gun I don't Waut.a He then called the purser, and such as agreed to serve signed articles on the companion hatch, and on signing, the men received either two months' pay in advance or one month's wages and a half-pay note. I took a month's wages and a half pay note for three pounds ten shillings a month in favour of my wife. The note was drawn on Fraser, Trenhohn, and Co., of Liverpool ; but it was paid at M. G. Klingender and Co.'s office in Liverpool; the note was signed by Captain Semmes, Clarence Randolph Yonge, who was the paymaster, and Smith, the captain's clerk. I sent five pounds and this half-pay note ashore by Captain Bullock, and he forwarded the note with a letter to my wife. Fraser, Trenholm, and Co. paid the five pounds to Thomas Winstanley, of Liverpool, for my wife. Captain Bullock on the passage out, and after we arrived at Terceira, used arguments to induce us to join the Alabama. On several occasions he advised us, and urged the men to join. As soon as the men who consented to go had all signed articles the English ensign which the Alabama had been flying was pulled down, and the Confederate flag hoisted, and a gun was fired. The men who declined joining left the ship with Cap tains Bullock and Butcher for the Bahama, and we proceeded under the command of Captain Semmes. We proceeded on our voyage and cruised about the Western Isles for some days, and on the follow ing Sunday we fell in with a whaler and burnt her, and we then cruised about, and in about two days we fell in with the schooner Starlight, from Boston. We fired at her four times.

Fraser, Trenholm, and Co., or M. G. Klingender and Co., Liverpool, enclosing the half-pay note, and the latter firm used to send her post-office orders for the money, The following are the letters written to her by M. G. Klingender and Co.:— " Liverpool, Sept. 30,1862.—Messrs. M. G.

They wrote in reply that they could sand her no more money as I had loft the ship, and they did not return her the half-pay note. The following is the letter written to her:— "Madam—We have this day received advices per West India mail from St. Domingo stating that --, with three other men, deserted the Alabama on the 25th of January, at Kingston, Jamaica, and of course their allotment notes mast be stopped.— We are, &c., per M.

On my return I called at Fraser, Trenholm, and Co.'s office for the benefit of my wages, but they declined to pay me, and all knowledge of the ship, but Mr. Cooper gave me the name of Mr. M. G. Slingender, and told me to see him and see if he could arrange it. I did so, but he told me he could not do so, as they had received a note from Capt. Semmes that I had deserted at Jamaica.

Her Majesty's gunboat Sepoy, 60-horse power, attached to the Sheerness steam reserve squadron, was placed in commission on Friday last, for ser vice as tender to the Cornwallis, 60, screw steam Coastguard vessel, stationed at Hull, Capt. J. R. Strange. The officers appointed to the command of the Sepoy is Lieut. William Walsh, who com manded the gunboat Lively during the wreck of the vessel Off the Dutch coast in December last, when in search of some missing fishing vessels. Her Majesty's six-gun paddlewheel steam sloop Gorgon, Commander J. C. Wilson, went alongside Woolwich dockyard yesterday afternoon, having discharged her ammunition and guns at the Royal Arsenal, on the foregoing day. Commodore Dunlop, 0,13., accompanied by Mr. Ponsonby, his secretary, went on board and mustered the ship's company, preparatory to their being paid out of commissior,. Having witnessed the usual course of exercises per formed by the men, the commodore inspected every part of the ship, and expressed himself much pleased with the cleanliness and order which was apparent throughout, and specially remarked the healthy and robust condition of the crew. On the eve of her intended departure for England, the Admiral of the station, Sir Baldwin Walker, ordered her to proceed to Madagascar, in consequence of the re ported death of the King. She was detained there between four and five months. The Gorgon has been in commission nearly five years, and has taken some valuable prizes during the command of Commander Wilson, who exchanged from the Fury with Commander Pym in March, 1861. Com mander Wilson was enabled to render some valua ble assistance to Dr. Livingstone and his mission, for which he has received a letter of thanks from the Bishop of Oxford. The Gorgon had a fair pas sage home of 54 days. She left Admiral Dupre and several French ships at Madagascar. Com mander Wilson states that he has no doubt the French Admiral is stationed there with the inten tion of establishing a protectorate over Madagascar, and will probably land at Bembatooka Bay, at the north-west end of the island—a most convenient spot, and near the capital. The inhabitants, the North Sacklavas, have exhibited much friendly feel.. ing towards the French rule, and are in opposition to the ruling tribe—the Hovas. The hired transport Triumvir yesterday com menced shipping war stores for Fort George, from Woolwich arsenal. The Royal Sovereign turret ship will be floated out of the dock in which she has been converted at Portsmouth on the Bth proximo. The work on this ship is, even now it has been brought so near com pletion, allowed to proceed but sluggishly, who ever the fault may rest with. A partial trial was made yesterday at Portsmouth dockyard of a folding boat, intended by the inven tor for use with troop or emigrant ships. The boat is flat-bottomed, with pointed ends, and will carry 50 people with a very light draught of water. In receiving passengers from any ship under circum stances of abandonment at sea it would require to be heavily weighted in addition to its human freight, in order to render it safe. Its great merits appear to be the very small space 20 such boats would occupy when folded up and stowed away on board ship, and the large amount of boat accommodation which would thus be available in the event of disaster. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—James S. Watts, master to the Wellesley, for the Bombay; Andrew Edwards, paymaster to the Castor, additional ; Charles P. Mulvany, assist.-surgeon, additional, to the Dun can; Charles Belford, James Wilson, Edward M'Leish, John P. Williams, William T. Searle, and Edward C. Scorrer, assistant-engineers , to the Duncan, as additional for disposal ; James E.

The first division of the depot brigade of the Royal Artillery in the Chatham district has been augmented by 100 non-commissioned officers and men, who have joined headquarters from Worley. A party of non•commissioned officers proceed from headquarters to Woolwich for the purpose of going Srn,—As a letter in the Daily Telegrap4 of Friday last from the master of the ship Fusilier, if left unpaplained, is, calculated to do much injury to the National Lifeboat in stitution, I trust you will be good enough to insert the fol lowing remarks. Captain Carvosso states :—" It is certainly rather hard to think, after having looked on the Lifeboat Institution as being one of the most disintemsted which we have, that, after all, it drops down to a matter or pounds, shillings, and pence, and that, ' what shall 1 get by it?' is the principal thing though: of. How ever, without doubt, such is the case," &c. NOW, • although in a previous part of his letter Captain Carvosso, had stated that the Ramsgate lifeborit and tie steam tug whicktook of the passengers from the ship when strand:4 on the night of the 3d ult., were the property of the Board of Trade, yet many of your readers, unable to recoa cne these two conflicting portions of the lotter,will conclude, as Captain Carvosso appears to do, that they are under the supervision or authority of this institution, which is there fore responsible for any supposed extortionate or extrava vagant demands by their crews for payment for their ser vices on the above occasion. It might be sufficient to state that the Ramsgate life boat and tug steamer are in no sense connected with this institution, which is not therefore answerable for the conduct of their crews; but it cannot be too dis tinctly made known to the shipowners of this country and to the general public who are invited to aid the insti tution, on what principles its lifeboats' crews are paid, and on what occasions, and in what manner, claims are made on shipowners for services rendered to their vessels. And this explanation is perhaps the mere necessary since some cases have occurred where the owners of ships and cargoes that have been saved through the instrumenta lity of the institution's lifeboats have comphined that any claim should be made on them for such services, from the supposition, or on the plea, that the lifeboats are provided by the supporters of the institution for the purpose of cav ing their property, as well as the lives of their vessels• crews. Now, it cannot be too generally known that the one solo function of the National Lifeboat Institution is to save lives, and that for that object, and that object alone, it ap peals to the charity and the sympathies of the British aeople; and accordingly one of the most stringent oblige ono which it enforces, as far as it is able, on the volunteer kw who work its lifeboats, is that they are not to be used 'the salvage of property, " so as to interfere with private Eerprise," but to be reserved for cases involving risk of n behalf, however, of the owner of property—in behalf, it ay be said, of mankind—in order that valuable property, wrght and accumulated by the "wear and tear" of man's bral and by the "sweat of his brow," might not be irre vocaL lost in the depths of the sea—in cases wben no other 12% is available, or when the sea is too heavy Lc) admit of the seice being performed by any other description of boat, the nitation allows its crews to use their lifeboats, after obtainh the sanction of its local represnatatives, with the understantg-Ist, that every care is taken of the boats ; 2d, that they mtheir own risk of receiving adequate re - muneration for a-aervices they may render, the institu tion having no funowailablo to pay them for saving pro perty; 3d, that they dot on any account make exorbitant demands for payment in ?portion to the service rendered ; and, lastly, that they pa>, the institution two shares, i.e., an equivalent to the 5,, 0 of two of themselves, of any salvage award receive to cover risk of daniatre to the lifeboat. This last clause added with the obj,ct of preventing the men from usinthe lifeboat avia:i ever it would be practicable to perfornh e serv i ce i n any of their own boats, and also in justice tahe supporters of the institution, who have not subscribeta it tor the preservation of property, but of human iives.r n point of fact, the lifeboats are, on such occasions, lend, their crews under certain stipulations, and we are ac:t)g ne d to think that all parties are benefited by such an arm., meat. Valuable property is saved at the cost of a smut, per centage on its value ; the hard-working boatmen, on whose goodwill and cordial co-operation the institution is entirely dependent for the efficient working of its life boats, are kept in good humour with the work by the little advantage that may occasionally thus accrue to them through the means of their lifeboat ; whilst the in stitution is sufficiently benefitted to cover risk of damage or loss. Surely no liberal owner of ship or cargo can obj , et to such an arrangement, which, after all, benefits himself more than any one else. The question of payment for salvage of property, whether by the aid of lifeboats or ordinary boats must always be a difficult one, which will be often matter of dispute, and not unfrequently of litigation, since the Merchant Shipping Act only requires that a " reasonable compensation" shall be given. In cases, however, where an agreement cannot be come to by the two parties immediately concerned, any two local magistrates can settle the point, unless the parties at issue appeal from their decision to the Admiralty Court. With a few brief remarks on the subject of payments for saving lives and property on our coasts, I will con clude. On the former head the National Lifeboat Insti tution have established a uniform rate of payment for such services by the crews of lifeboats, varying from 10s. to £2 per man according to the nature and amount of risk of the ser vice, and whether performed by day or night; and it is only in very exceptional cases, of rare occurrence, that their crews are allowed to ask for any further payments from the owners of ships or property. Indeed, this institution even deprecates the raising of large amounts to reward such ser vices through the medium of the public press by enthusiastic or talented writers, as tending to stamp them with a merce nary character, to make the men depreciate all ordinary payments at other times, and as being, in a certain sense, unjust to the crews of lifeboats at less fortunate localities, where as noble and self-denying services have been quietly performed, with none but the inhabitants of a rural or fish ing village to commend, and where the payment of 108 or £1 has given entire satisfaction. On the latter head—saving property—it is to be re gretted that our coast boatmen often make exorbitant demands for services rendered by them, asking sums of twice or thrice the amount which they expect to get, and which they will subsequently gladly accept. There ure, however, other aspects from which to view the question, The shipowner is apt to measure such services b y too low a standard—to look on them in the same li g ht as those per formed on the wharf or in the store, to be adequately remunerated at the rate of a daily wage—forgetting that these men have often large and valuable boats to maintain: (sometimes costing £3OO or £400); that they must live all the year round, and support their families on the fruits of their labours at sometimes long intervals of time ; and that unless on these occasions they receive sufficient to keep up and re place their boats, and to support themselves, they must dis appear from our coasts, to the loss of the owners of ships and property, and of the nation. These men, like the rest of us, have their characters varied, if not formed, by circumstances. Their lives, lik e ours, in the language o f our great poet, " are of a mingled yarn, good and ill to gether." Shabby or heartless treatment on the part of a shipowner or master will produce the natural result of ill feeling and extortion on theirs. Let us endeavour to do anything that may be within our province to improve them; and, in the first place, by showing towards them a spirit of justice, of forbearance, and of sympathy, instead of denouncing them for faults which may be only the natural results of treatment they may have received.—l am, sir, yours, &c., J. R. IVA.nn, Captain R.N., Inspector of Lifeboats to the National Lifeboat InttilutiuL. 14, John-street, Adelphi, Feb. 1.

MR. GLAISHER IN LIVERPOOL.—On Mond9y evening Mr. Glaisher lectured in St. George's-hall, Liverpool, on behalf of the Prince's Park Young ;Fen's Mutual Improvement Society ; and yesterday afternoon he delivered a lecture, also in St. George's-hall, for the benefit of the "rising generation" of the town. During each course Mr. Glaisher narrated the history of the balloLli to his hearers, remarking that it had never rmcg part of his plan to seek to effect an improvement in balloon:7. but that he had simply used them for purposes of science. Some time since he was induced to give a pledge that he would not again ascend, as he had previously do ne, to a height of six or seven miles, unless a native of some other country ascended to a greater height than he had done, in which case, as an Englishman, ho could not of cour se consent to be beaten. The lecturer was most enthusi a stically raelved, and was respectfully recomm ended not toatteinp i t . st:ch high ascents on account of the e xtreme danger to w..11e.1 he e:.- posed himself. 0301 0 4 ;ggrti°l4'l 1/ 11 ' dos°' 7 e h. ~ 119, ;vb. 5 , ?et" 0, 'eb. 0. id' ii, gib CO I 03 0 4 f ed a foe fit e cf 0 1 4ite r ' o ' o 6° 1; 0 °I
