GREAT ADVANTAGES OFFERED BY THE UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSU RANCE COMPANY, 8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, and 2, Charlotte-row, Mansion- house, London. This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most perfect security, from an ample capital, and only re quires, when an Insurance is for the whole period of life, one half of the very moderate Premiums to be paid for the first five years after the date of the Policy, the other half may remain, subject to the payment of interest at 5 per cent. annually, to be deducted at death, or may previously be paid off at convenience. It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate income to secure, by this arrangement, a provision for his family ; and should he at any time after effecting the insurance succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he may relinquisk his policy, having only paid ono half the premiums for the first five years, instead of the whole, as in all other Companies. Thus a roan of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of 2.87. 16s. U. for the first five years, secure to kis widow and children at Nis death payment of no less than 3,000/., subject only to the , deduction if 144/. Is. 3d., being the amoant of premium unsaid. This Cos npany holds out, in various other respects, great inducement; to the public. When such facilities are afforded, it is clearly a moral duty in every parent wko is not possessed of a fortune, but of an income, however moderate, to insure his life for a sum which easy yield a comfortable provision for his family.

That such vacancy sho u ld b e occas i one d b y t he se rious illness of our friend, Mr. Potter, all who have watched the pure integrity of his public conduct, or who have known the extent of his private virtues, will, in common with you and myself, deeply deplore.

My public conduct, in advocating all measures favour. able to civil and • religious freedom, in promoting economy and reducing taxation, in reforming the law, in asserting the great national cause of education, in extending, to the utmost possible degree the sphere of our trade and manufactures, especially by the Repeal of the Corn-laws (the oppressive burthen, ,as they will be found to be, of our a gr i cu lt ure , as we ll as o f our com merce) k fully before you. I respectfully call on those of the Liberal party, who deem, with me, that the essence of political life is poli tical action, to record by their zealous efforts, as well as by their votes, their attachment to the cause of freedom ; and I have the - honour to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful servant, WM.

Yesterday the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors was held in the Theatre of the University, for the purpose of receiving the Annual Report of the Council, and to elect officers for the ensuing year. Lord BaotTonArd, Pre. sident, in the Chair. Mr. CHARLES C. ATKINSON, the Secretary, read the names contained in the nomination papers for the several offices, and then read the report of the Council for the last twelve months. The event of the greatest importance to the present interests and future prosperity of the College which has occurred since the last annual meeting was the propagation by the Uuniversity of London of the regula tions and examinations for 'degrees in Arts, &c. The ex pectation expressed by the last meeting, that no examina tion cm religious subjects would be imposed on candidates for degrees has been realised, and that whatever theolo gical examination may take place will be a voluntary one, as in no way to affect the obtaining those degrees. Various acquirements are required of those looking for degrees and the branches of knowledge which have beers neglected by other academical bodies have been introduced for examination. A Matriculation examination has taken place, when the students answered with credit to them selves and the Institution. Those who obtained the highest distinction in one branch of knowledge, gained the second place in the other. The Government, in compliance with the desire of the Council, have instituted Exhibitions and Scholarships, so that when students of this and King's College have been returned equal for answering at examinations, the exhibitions are to be divided amongst them. The re gulations for the examination for degrees in medicine, have not been yet published, but the regulations for the degrees of arts have been. In compliance with the advice of Lord Brougham, the interest of a donation of a patriot, now amounting to 2.8,00/., has been applied to the admission of schoolmasters at a reduced rate to the benefits of lectures, the charge being 1/ 10s. tor four lectures, and 11. for a single lecture. There are 33 schoolmasters attending the course; and 36 the class of mathematics alone. Arrangements have been made for the education of persons intended for civil engineering and mining.

Lord BROUGHAM congratulated the Proprietors on the very satisfactory and flourishing state of the University, which showed a progres*teady,anFl by. no me us casual advancement. lie regretted thy, resignation of Dr. Elliot son, than whom there did not exist a more able or skilful man. No man more deeply regretted the causes which led to that gentleman's resignation, and he was con. fident that all present participated in that regret.— (Hear, hear.) He (Lord Brougham) trusted that the Institution would go on persevering in the same principles with which it commenced. It was truly a Catholic Institution, open to all ranks of people without regard to politics or religion, giving no preference of Church over sect, or sect over Church, or of one sect over another.—(Hear, hear.) This could not be done, unless by the exclusion of tests, or of subscription to re. ligious tenets. But they no more excluded religion than does the teacher of mathematics, who confines himself to that branch of science. Religion was deemed by every proprietor of the institution as a paramount object, and the men who denied it was either wilfully ignorant or ex- eeedingly stupid, as the calumny has been over and over j again repudiated.—( Hear, hear.) Their sole design in ! not making religion an essential point of study, was to avoid trafficking with, or making a compromise of it, by consorting godliness into a source of temporal gain. No doubt Government bad a right to protect, as an establish ment, the Protestant Church ; but, as regards education, it was not justified in giving a preference of Catholic over Protestant or Presbyterian, or of one sect over another, but should hold an even balance between all. Has the Government acted so? No, it has not. It has given the King's College 28,0001., while four individuals ad vanced 7,000/. each towards the purchase of ground fJr the University College. The reason the Government as signed for this invidious distinction was, that the former was Protestant. Such conduct he (Lord Brougham) de signated as gross, unjust partiality.—( Hear, hear.) He should have no objection to the Protestant educating :the children of his own persuasion, nor to the Catholics and Dissenters doing the same. But where such a desirable object cannot be tttained he would advocate and support the principles on which the University College was conducted. In conclusion, his Lordship recommended that a special meeting should be callod to petition the Government for a similar grant to that made to the King's College. Mr. HARDY moved the adoption of the report, which, after some observations from Messrs. Hardy, Hanky, Col. Stanhope, Mr. Taylor, and other members, was carried The following officers were then elected :—Lord Brougham, President ; the Duke of Somerset, Vice- President ; W. Tooke, Esq., F. R. S., Treasurer ; and the following were elected Members of the Council:—Sa muel Duckworth, Esq., NI. P. ; W. Ewart, Esq.; W. H. Felton, Esq., M.D. ; George Ward Norman, Esq. ; and E. W. W. Pendarves, Esq., M. P. ; Henry Kingeotea Esq., was elected auditor. HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY. EDINBURGH, 'FEB. 2g. MURDRR OF A SON BY .HIS FATHER—Yesterday, khe Court met for the trial of Arthur Woods and .Henritta Young or Woods, his wife, accused 'of the murder of John Drew Woods, pedlar, son of the "Male prisoner by a former marriage, on the 4th or sth of Au gust last, in the house of the accused, situate in Thorter-row, Dundee, by dashing or throwing him down with violence on the floor, and striking him on the head, and violently twisting a rope or other ligature mutt& his neck, by all which, or part thereof; his skull was fractured, and he was strangled, and soon thereafter died. John 13. Baxter, Procurator- Fiscal for the Dundee District of Ferfarshire, identified the prisoner's decla ration ; and in answer to a question by the prisoner's Counsel, stated that the trial had been postponed on ac count of the pregnancy of the female prisoner, who was delivered of a child in jail, about a month after the Perth Circuit. Duncan. Macnab, night watchman of Dundee Police, was on duty in Thorter-row on the night of 4th August; had occasion to pass prisoner's house in his beat ; passed it about a quarter past one, heard a noise as of people fighting in the house, and that some one wat kept down on the floor, but no words. Returned about twenty minutes after, 'went into the court, and saw a dead man lying in it ; the body was on its back, close to the stair coming down from Woods' house, and right opposite the place; the stair is seven or eight seeps, and there is a railing round it about three feet high :, the feet were lying next the side of the steps ; the body wes straight, except a bend at the knees. Thought the man was drunk ; but on lifting the body found it was dead. Saw a man very like the deceased go to Wood's door about half-past twelve ;he appeared to come. out of Summers,' public-house in the Court, but witness did not, wait to see if be got into Woods' house. Saw Woods himself go into the court aliolit twelve o'clock. James Lowe, sergeant of police, farther corrobosated the evidence of Macnab. When witness knocked at prisoner's door, Woods asked who was there, but : wit ness only called to him to open the door, and he let him in. Only prisoners and a child about two years old were in the house. Witness asked Woods where his son was, and he answered " he's not here, he shan't be here;" then asked the wife for him, and she said she had seen him at the door about half an hour before ; said he bad been at the door and his father would not let him in. Asked if she knew what had become of him, and she said she thought she heard him fall over the stair. Then asked the father if he knew anything far ther about him, and witness thinks he answered, "it wasna me that did it." Witness left another officer, Peter Forbes, in charge of' the prisoners, until the body was removed ; he was present while witness questioned the prisoners. Witness sent for Dr. Webster, who ex amined the body in the Police Office. Witness went to Woods' house, and found several pieces of rope, which he now identifies, in a pantry. Observed a red mark on the neck of deceased, as of a cord drawn very tight round it. Mr. Moon, surgeon, examined the body on the Sunday forenoon in witness's presence; it ap peared in the same state as when Dr Webster first saw it. Witness want back, along with the mother to the house and brought away the child. Is quite sure these was no one else in the house but prisoners and the child. The thickest rope was hanging on the back of the pantry duos, the other pieces were lying at the foot of a table in the pantry. Applied the smallest of the ropes to the mark on the neck, and in witness's opinion it exactly corresponded. This was done in Dr. Webster's presence. Mrs. Scott resides in a court in Thorter-row. Knew deceased, who might be about twenty-one or twenty two years of age. Never heard of the Woods quar relling till the week before the son's death ; heard a noise in the house then ; they were all fighting through other; the wile stamped her foot, and bid Johnny go to the door, and he gave her bad language back again. did not see this but heard the voices. The young men told the etepmother the house was his father's as well as hr's. Heard the father say he would put au end to his son's existence. On Saturday night, August 4, witness had occasion to come down the stair, and pass by Sum mers' house ; saw deceased leaning on the side of the door; he said he would hold the eandle for witness; he wanted whisky from Mrs. Summers, who would not let him in. Saw him go up the stair towards his father's house, but did not see him go in. Witness went to bed but did not fall asleep till she heard a noise, and got up and went to the staircase window, and ascertained the noise came from Woods' house. Heard cries like mur der in a - faint and low like tone. Went down to a lower window and heard the son say, " Don't choke me father," in a low and mournful tone. Heard no other noise but as of some person's head knocking against the floor, and a table and chair knocking about, and was more alarmed at thet noise than anything. Heard the father say in reply, " I'll be your butcher, before I sleep." Did not hear the woman speaking angrily at that time, though she slid so the week before. Heard noise after wards, but no more words. The policeman came into the court and called " past one." He looked up to Woods' house and then went away. The noise stopped -4443ar1y. I)alf.nnat one—witness still continuing at the window. As the half-h Our was striking, looked down the close, saw the door open, and the father with his hands under the arms of the son, pushing him before him. Mrs. Woods came to the door and went down the stair assisting the father iu carrying down the son by the feet.; they laid the body clOwn in the close with the head pointing towards the entrance to the close, and the feet towards the stair ; both prisoners returned 'tip stairs and shut the door. Heard the woman speaking in a very low voice as they went up stairs. Witness could not say what she thought of the affair sbe was so much confused. After being pressed on this point the witness said she thought the woman said, "we will not be fitshed any more." The body was carried down the stair head foremost, and placed as described by for mer witnesses. Mrs. Woods looked out of the door before the body was brought out, which was done immediately after ; it was perfectly stiff; there was no one in the Court at the time. About five minutes after the body was turned out, witness hoard the barrow come, and went to bed. The declarations of the prisoners were then read. They asserted their ignorance of the manner in which the de ceased had come by his death. The male prisoner stated that the deceased had not been at the house on the night of his death, while the female prisoner stated that the deceased had been there, but she had refused him admission. The Jury retired at a quarter before six o'clock. and re turned in about half an hour with a verdict, finding by a large majority the male prisoner Guilty, and by a majority the libel against the female prisoner, Not Proven. The female prisoner, who began to sob convulsively on the verdict being read, was then dismissed simpliciter from the bar, and the unfortunate convict was sentenced to be executed at Dundee, between the hours of eight and ten o'clock on 18th of March. The Earl of Howth and Viscount St. Lawrence, have arrived at the London Hotel, Albemarle-street, the former from Melton Mowbray, the latter from Dublin. THE RADICALS OF BRIGHTON.—Captain Pechell, himself a landowner, whose whole property is vested in land, voted nobly in favour of taking the first step towards providing the working classes of this country with cheap bread, and enabling our industrious artizans to compete with foreign artizans in the extensive markets of the Continent. With a knowledge of this fact, the Ra dicals of this borough will know how to treat the insidious overtures of those insincere men and hollow friends, who, to serve their own crooked and sinister purposes, would blindly lead them into a foul conspiracy with the Tories to eject so useful and upright a man from his proper sphere of action. Very opportunely, the Tories have this week been holding a carnival. Happily for the people ',upon whose credulity they hope to practice, they have this week been open-mouthed. In vino veritas, and over their cups at Horsham, the! Tories (and Mr. John Baker was there to cheer them on) gave utterance to the estimation in which they hold the Radicals.--Brighton Gazette. DOG CART NUISANCE, &C.—The " Animals' Friend Society" last week brought up several fellows for having been riding in carts drawn by dogs, and kicking and beating them with a stick, and also with an iron chain, till they laid down and were unable to proceed. They were all fined or imprisoned by Alderman Brown and Messrs. Jeremy and Traill ; who also fined a man for hav ing driven a pointed stick into an ass. The names of tha offenders were James Jamieson, William White, William Fletcher, and John Coombs. LIN CA NADAS, &c.—The most remarkable work that has issued from the press for some time is, " A Voice from America to England," embracing a variety of topics of the utmost importance to all classes of society, but connected throughout by a chain of such close reason ing, as to preclude any opinion founded on mere Newspaper extracts. To be understood, it must be read entire ; and the only mode of conveying the substance of its contents to those who have not seen it, is by giving the heads Of the chapters, which are-1. Definitions-2. Political Orga nization of American Society-3. American Society a Dynasty of Opinion-4. Comparative View of American Religious Sects-5. Political Character of Religion 6. Political Character of American Religion-7. Ame rican Abolitionism in a False Position—ii. American Abo litionism a Crusade-9. Effect of the Abolition Movement in America-10. Real and Comparative Condition of American Slavery-11. How can American Slavery be Disposed of ?-12. Church and State—The American Voluntary System-13. American Fanaticism-14. The American Constitutional Party and the Democracy—Daniel Webster and Henry Clay-15. The Jackson Dynasty -16. The Canadian Rebellion : with a vast number of Notes explanatory of these, and a variety of oth er su bj ects con nected with America—its Constitution—Religion—Pros pects, &c. From this table of contents it will be seen that this work particularly recommends itself to the think ing portion of all classes of the p o liti ca l an d re li g i ous world of Great Britain. Upon the latter especially it has claims of no ordinary nature, as the expositions and state ments as to religion in America are of th e most i mportant and interesting description. The chapter on Canada is also conclusive at the present crisis. BREACH OF ENGA GEMENT. - -Thursday, a farmer fell in with a servant girl whom he had feed a con siderable t'me ago at Glasgow, and to whom he had given cries, but who had never come to fulfil her engagement. He called in the police to apprehend her, but they did not consider that this lay in their province, and declined to in-, terfere. The crowd around interfered on the opposite side, and rescued the girl. The farmer was thus unsuccessful either in recovering his money, or punishing the servant for ')reach of contract. —Scots Times, GOWLAND'S LOTION.

Monsieur MALLAN, and Son, Surgeon Dentists 32., GREAT RUSSELL-STREET, BLOOMSBURY, and 9, HALF MORN STREET, PICCADILLY, continue to restore DECA YED TEETH with their MINERAL SUCCEDANEUM, (of which they are the Sole, INVENTORS and POSSESSORS), without pain, heat, or pressure, and FASTEN LOOSE TEETH, whether arising from age, neglect, disease of the Gums, the use of Calomel, or any other cause. They have also discovered a NEW COMPOSI LION for ARTIFICIAL TEETH. A peculiar advantage attending Teeth made from this SUBSTANCE is, that they are totally impervious to acids. ARTIFICIAL TEETH have hitherto been found ob jectionable by INVALIDS taking MEDICINES which have a ten. dency to DISCOLOUR them, and by persons of bilious habits. Messrs. M. have been successful in obviating these objections by their NEW DISCOVERY, and they can fix the above without ex tracting the STUMPS, or 'causing any incumbrance, and even on GUMS of the most tender nature, protecting the adjoining Teeth, however loose. No WIRES or LIGATURES are used, and they MATCH the ORIGINAL TEETH in point of Shape and Colour. GUARANTEED for MASTICATION and ARTICULATION.

They have no other mode of cancelling a marriage than by using the phrase, " I throw you away." It is nevertheless true that we found many couples, both young and old, who lived in great unity and peace, esteeming their children, and their children them. Parentage or relationship forms no obstacle to their inter marriages. It is very common for the wife to urge her husband to marry her sisters, and even their mother; and the common custom is, when a man first marries, that he takes the whole of the sisters for wives. These many wives of one husband live without jealousies or disputes, each looking on the whole of the children as if they were their own, and the whole living in one house. —Forbes's CatVornin.

Should the design — of ir—r. Railton be carried into effect, London may one day boast of the highest Corinthian column ever erected. The Romans were the first people who adopted the single column of a gigantic height as a monument to the memory of great men ; and though this has been imputed to them as a symptom of declining taste in the arts, it is certainly no proof of their decline in morals. The two chief columns that exist were erected .. to Trajan and Anto ninus, alike distinguished for their benevolence, and for mo A st os f m th a e ll vir= i t l l l 7 . t a t . i d le orn m S od ta e t l es f m or en m an r d . capital of the pro posed design, was erected to an imaginary per sonage of a very different description, Mars Ultor, which stands in front of the Church of Maria is ßome. Tnhethe . same st yle, with be style, a similar gallery above, from which rises a circular pediment, like those on the Doric pillars, to be orna mented with a wreath of laurel and lions' heads, and surmounted by a statue of Nelson. The height of the column is to be 160 feet, the statue, IVl po a se g' d gi Co r. l e i ' im a n t &c. 31 f e et, making the total height 191, about ten feet lower than the monument on Fish-street hill. The only objection to a pillar of the Corin thian order, is the great extent of the gallery over the capital, which, in that at Rom e , t h oug h not more than half the height, appears at first sight heavy and cumbers ome. But, at all e vents, if there is to be a pillar, let us have so me variety and not the , monotonous Doric which meets the eye in almost capital of Eu rope. Some wiseacre, it appears, h a d wr i tten a letter to the Chairman, in which he suggested that it would be hazard ous, nay, i mposs ibl e, to erect a column of that height with a perforated shaft, to whom Mr. CRoKER, on the spur of the moment, gave this felicitous answer—. ~ Let London's Co.lumn pointing to the , Like a tall bully, give this man the lie." , Letters have been received from Malta, stating , that her Majesty, the Queen Dowager, is considerably im proved in health , an d that she ha s made definite arrange ments for taking her departure from Rome and Genoa, on 25th March. e .5 , rp.-- 7.7. -1„, / e---0,6 _.,.. %.11, - ,-,,,,, A , .au 1 . --.\,) . •:::10 -,... , ~. ) . , • ,_ 0 ~' "4 r , ) . g- - ; 1 -,.- • ':,;,-- 11 ' , t':-. ) ,-, 4 ~,. , 4 4 ,..t l ii ". • r 1 10) ~. raryiNn •*"' 110 , ~....,.....„ ..._._ ______________ , . , , : , ‘,4„..., „._, i ......

If extreme interest, extensive betting, and a strong mus ter of the great renowned from all quarters, be any crite rion whereby to judge of the future, the Liverpool Steeple Chase of 1839 will be long remembered is an event in the anuale of sporting, Nimrod regards Abe Steeple ;Cluirreeehighly cruel, and withal dangeroizs; and on these grounds he thinks it ought to become unpopular; subsequently he endeavours to persuade his readers that it is so, or at least tending downward in public estimation. However the sport may be objected to on the score of cruelty, and certainly the objections so founded are not without considerable show of reason and evidence, we believe it will never be driven into un popularity on the ground of the danger incurred by the riders. All those sports that are attended with some degree of danger have ever possessed the most absorb ing interest. All men of ardent feelings love mode rate danger for the very excitement which it produces, and the intrepidity which it brings into action. Hence Steeple Chases are naturally popular. If those who have endeavoured to make it appear otherwise had but visited Liverpool they would quickly have changed their opinion. The town has bee❑ perfectly alive with bustle. Visitors from all quarters, and by all sorts of conveyances, have poured in upon us—from meth and south—from Scot land, Wales, end Ireland, by steamers, railways, coaches, chai,es, gigs, end waggons. Our inns have been crowded with gentle and simple ; the taverns and private houses have been everywhere in request, for the accommodation of the sporting fraternity of all descriptions. Counts Whisker andos from Germany and France, hard-riding horse dealers from Ireland, knowing ones from Scotland, and sportipg rnaeufacturers, tradesmen, butchers, graziers, &c., &c., from Manchester, Bolton, Wigan, and the neighbourhood surrounding. Croxteth, Knows ley, and the mansions of our country gentry have been crowded with guests, who have exhibited their " swell turns out" In our streets, jostling the equi pages of our merchants, and astonishing not a few of the natives, who have heretofore looked with singular self complacency on their tiny tilburies and tardily-trotting tits. In short, our streets have exhibited an accession of bustle, with an assemblage tolerably motley, as is usual in such cases—Peers, Corinthians, and peasants, jostling with " Knowing faded kids, And dandy rats in bloon:." Betting was brisk from the commencement of business, though it was greatly held in check bV the uncertainty as to what horse, would start The entry exhibited a list of fifty three horses, with two which had paid forfeit : a strong field was therefore confidently expected o ind as several of the studs were animals of lii4h renown for their achievements, there were not wanting those who were willing to back their favou rites in spite of all the chances that might intervene. The Nun stood first f tvourite, with Rust close in her rear. After these Daxon, Seventy-four, Cannon Ball, Paulina and Railroad were held in good esteem. The betting-room at the Talbot on Monday evening was crowded to suffocation. The Nun kept the call to the last. The odds then stood as follows : 8 to I agst Lord Macdonald's The Nun 50 to 1 -- Mr. Chawner's Daxon 11 to I Sir E, Mostyn's Seventy-four 100 to 8 100 to 7 Mr. O'Moore's Barkston 19 to 1 Mr. Marshall's Railroad 100 to a 20 to 1 6 to 1 9 to I Mr. Elmore's Lottery 100 to 5 Mr. Oswald's Dictator 50 to .S Stephenson's True Blue Ur - 3 Captain Lamb's Jatit The following Were amongst the distinguished persons present : Sir Edward and Lady Smyth and party ; Sir Edward and Lady Blount and party ; Sir Edward Mostyn, Mr. Piers Mostyn, and Mr. Alcock ; Colonel Copeland ; Colonel Charrate ; Mrs. Morgan O'Connell ; Messrs.

Few, how ever, dared to indulge in very sanguine hopes on the sub ject, as the atmosphere had been most capriciously variable .for months before. As it turned out, no thing could be more propitious. After several tole rably dry days, during which the wind blew rather boisterously from the westward, the morning of Tues day broke calm, bright, and beautiful, and it proved a foretaste of what the day was to be. As early as nine o'clock the road leading to Aintree was crowded with pe destrians of the usual class, including piemen, chimney sweeps, cigar -sellers, thimble-riggers, and all the small fry of gaming-table keepers. As the day advanced the road swarmed with passengers of all descriptions, " from noblemen to tailors," front merchants and wealthy manu facturers to butchers and tinkers, all hurrying to the scene of action as fast as their several means of conveyance would permit. Liverpool poured forth not only its own thousands, but the thousands belongit g to other places also. The surrounding country contributed its quota, and certainly a greater crowd was never before seen on any race-course than at Aintree on Tuesday. It was one dense mass of people, in some of the more recherche points wedged together so as to defy motion in those who had once got enclosed. The Grand Stand had not accommodation for more than three-fourths of the people who presented themselves; and not an attainable point about the building, even to the very summit of the chimneys, but was occupied. All the minor stands were likewise crowded, and, in as!dition to the vast numbers dispersed about the course, masses of individuals were seen here and there far over the country, congre gated at the points where the most dangerous leaps were to be taken. It was announced that the race was tostommence at one o'clock. It was neatly three, however, before the horses were fairly brought on the course. They were paraded about half-an-hour on the course, op posite the Grand Stand, and when it became evident what horses were really to start there was much brisk betting, the Nun ridden by A. M'Donogh still haling the call. It was observed that the latter looked rather too fat, and she was put to some severe galloping before the race, probably with a view of getting her in wind. Her style of going was greatly admired. Captain Becher allowed off upon Conrad, which appeared in fine condition. Lottery, also, looked extremely well, and quite in cue for severe work. The betting immediately before the start was as follows 6 to 1 agst The Nun 7 to 1 Rust 8 to 1 Daxton 9 to 1 Railroad -9 to 1 Lottery 12 to 1 Seventy-four 12 to 1 Cannon Ball 21 to 1 True Blue 20 to 1 Conrad 20 to 1 Charity, and 30 to li any other. The horse% to the number of eighteen, were brought up for the start shortly after three o'clock, opposite to a side gate leading from the race-course, on the side furthest from the Grand Stand. The exit is sufficiently broad, and is, into a lane, divided from the pasture fields by a high bank, partly railed and partly topped with gorse and hawthorn. Tho steeds went away beautifully altogether, and but little division took place when t he y leaped or scrambled over the bank. Captain Becher, on Conrad, led the way at a slapping pace, apparently determined, as the old adage has it, " either to win his purse or lose his saddle." Unfortunately be did the latter. Through the first three or four paature-fields there was nothing but ex tremely light fencing, and the horses toped in gallant style everything that stood before them, Thu first obsta cle that wore the aspect of a tcastv was a deep ditch, about five feet wide, on the further skis of wb;.ch was a high bank. The high-mettled fellows made nothing of this—they flew over it like birds, °tie after another, and were p resent ly labouring Shrough a deep, light soli, from which young wheat vvas springiug.

It was what the jocks are in the habit of denominating a "nasty jump." First there was a strong paling, next a rough high jagged hedge, and lastly a brook about six feet wide. Nothing daunted, the Ere - most riders pushed their horses and charged it gallantly. Conrad smashed through the palings and rolled over into the brook. Lottery cleared it, followed by two or, three others, two or three of the quiet ones, who would choose their ground, passing close over Becher, and letting him feel the wind of their heels. One unlucky wight here parted company with his horse, which took a fancy to have a gal ' lop by himself over easier ground. Becher was soon again in the saddle and scampering after his fellows, who had topped on every fence at the corner of the meadow, :turning at a right angle from the brook. Here some play was made across a smooth pasture field, from whence a fly ieg leap over a hedge, which all took in the best possible stye;. the riders were carried into a rough-ploughed field. ' Anotheit:liedge . , cleared with the same alacrity as before, brought them opposite to a leap which was expected to try both men and horses. After clearing the hedge it was ne _ ce;isary immtdintely to turn short round to the left. At ki dis- ' tance of not more than twenty yards was a high hedge,i ' bank, and rails, on the othcr.side of which was a pieces o f water, let tn,lbr the purpose, full fifteen feet wide, the field adjoining which is six 'feet lowerabanehat from which the leap was to be taken. Captain Becher, who had agai n , come up to the -front, was the first to push at this, but Conrad seemed to have no mind for so much exertion. I •He deified away the rails and tumbled headlong into the water, rolling over his rider and floundering about after a meet extraordinary fashion. Rust followed next, but his .rider was more fortunate than the Captain, for he get re mounted and resumed the chase, while the latter who had goi a thorough immersion lost his horse into the bargain. Daxon, battery, and the rest flew over gallantly, and were presently pushing with what speed they might over a ploughed field, - which tried 'their - mettle sorely. The next leap was a particularly ugly one, into a field which was higher by four feet in some places than that from which -the horses had to spring. They had to pass over a bank surmounted by a low hedge (in some places a strop ? , rail), next to - which was - a 'ditch fenced by a not a a ;', rail. Most of the steeds took this at the easiest part, where the double rail and ditch were taken at a flying' leap, the ttvwfields being there. almost on a level. From this point it was "plain sailing" across easy fences to the lower end of the race-course. Here, turning to the left, the horses were brought by a straight run into the training, 1, ground, at the upper end of which was a stone wall,'T‘7ll iceqigb,,ececteetfor the odeation. This was exactly op- I Pane the - Giana Stand, and it was expected to prove a 1 teaser to more than one. Here, however, the liege:; were i doomed to disappointment. The first horse that came up ' was Barkston, who turned himself quietly away, as if he refused to try the dangerous experiment, till he had seen how others proved. Lottery, The Nun, and Paulina, came up next, and successively got over with ease. Lottery, in particular, flew over like a cat. It was observed that the 1 fencing of this horse throughout was most splendid. Berk ston, when he saw how easy it was, walked coolly up to the wall, and sprung over it with the utmost ease. Several of the horses knocked off portions of' the stone and turf, and made a gap in the wall, which allowed "the tail," to iet through without much trouble. After this straining task of more than two miles, the horses had to gallop about half a mile to the starting pest, aed then go over the same severe ground a second' ! time. It was rightly said, that he who woo this race would have performed his work. The second run, however, was a little easier than the first, as the horses and men not only knew what they were going to leap at, but the broken • banks and fences left them a clearer course. Accordingly all was well and effectually manaeyd till they cam e to t h e great leap at the piece of artificial water before mentioned. Dictator, ridden by Carlin, took the leap about two yards further on than the rest of the field. lie got well over, but from some cause or other stumbled and head forereoet .' on the opposite side. He was all in a heap, and it was plain he was much strained. The rest flew over, one after another, in capital style, and Dictator having regained his fe.et, followed them. The next very awkward leap, i however, finished him. He sprung over after the rest, but • instantly fell, and died almost inunedietely. It is stated that his buck was broken. Here the racing began. Ru:a had long taco given in, and bed been led back to his stable. The Nun, who had borne hers.eli es became her high pretensions, now that the tug 'of war i.ad commeneed, began to exhibit strong synmptonis of distress There was whip- and-spur work for ( the lead acress the fields, and the corder of t h e eourze leading to time run-in, across which a line of hurdles had been placed. Lottery had, meanwhile, taken up the running with great % igour, and was convincing those be hind that, it. he got fairly over the next leap, he had d: at within him tint would bid deflate° to their utmost eff,e tee The chances were all now with Lottery, True Blue, Pau line, and Seventy-four. Lottery took the hurdle well it most creditable flying leap, which left the race at the ths eretion of his jockey. The rest came well over and did their utmost, but Lottery was is astonishing force, con sidering the work which he had gone through. He won with apparent ease, beating Seventy-four by several lengths. The letter was closely followed by Patilitiet and True Blue. The favourite was nowhere, and Rust, the second favourite, as we have before mentioned, scarcely lived through the most easy part of the race. The following is the return and names of the ::arses which started, with those of the riders:- 1 Lottery Mr. Mason 2 Seventy-four Mr. Oliver 3 Paulina 4 True Blue..
