PRICIe 4d. STAAIPED Capitaine, and Nelusko. Enchanteur led Rabican very steadily about a mile. Godding cantered Goodwood gently. Joseph Dawson sent the following a good gallop on Long Hill:—Chapel Royal, Grimston, Tornado, Brother to Stafford, Bird on the Wing colt, and two or three others. Typ'imus cantered, aul afterwards went a nice gallop on the tan, led by Nina Elms. STooximinGE.-After their usual canters on Wednes day, Cuckoo led E4nartero, Blueber, Ilawaflan, Lady Cecilia, Iberia, and the Crucifixion filly about a mile at a goal pace. The Eri 1!.I Summer's Lady Riglan, and Europa a mile and a quarter steadily. The Blaekbird c )4 and Den tulle wont a rattler for about three-quarters Of a mile, followed by the Lava fi ly and the Demlice filly, but not fast. Thursiay—Cuckoo led the same lot as ou Wednesday a mile at a good pace. Se /We led The Earl, Logarithm, Herald, Birlseekcr, Co , :k a' the Walk, and Summer's liva about a nide and a half, folloWed by Europa at some distance off. Haynes had out The Duchess; The Alderman, Robert Lauudrie, and Cicada. They all can tered, and then_ went a nice steady gall )p of a mile. This small lot of horses have wonderfully improved, especially The Alderman, who has grown into a very nice colt, and I think is sure to pay his way. Friday—The same lot were out, with the addition of Lecturer and Miss Foote. After their usual canters, Cuckoo led Escnrtero, Blucher, Standard Bearer, R)wallan, and Amethyst colt_a mile. Minnie Warren led Lady Cecilia, Miss Foote, Iberia, and Crucifixion filly the same distance. Seville led The Earl, Logarithm, Herald, Birdseeker, Cock o' the Walk, and Summer's Evb a milnand a half. Leeturerled Europa the same distance. Athena, Flower Girl, and Lord of the Dales cane home last evening, and the latter was very lame. Lady Elizabeth is still walking. RICHMOND, Thursday.—Our trainer being away at New castle, nothing of any importance trait 3pirJl. Coates sent IE >then and Felucca a good gallop. Goant des Bolailles, Hermosa, El Cid, Brantingluitn, Brennus, and Valtz did steady work. Elliot's Sorcerer, The Gleaner, Stockwell filly, Rol Tub, Stella, and Ashbank did good work. Tho Belleislo team did very little. Lord Ronald, Virtue, Butter cup, and Raunds went a long gallop at a steady sweating pace. Chelsea, after canteriug twice, galloped about a mile slowly. Luntrs lot were out early, an 1 they did some good steady work. • Mlvrox.—Our Derby horse, Betrayal, commenced doing strong work again on Tuesday. After two canter; the Marquis gelding led him a throe-parts speed gallop of nearly two miles. Thursday.—Peck had, doing work on the welds, Camilla, Agrippa, Fichu, and the Vedette filly, while Amendment, Buccaneer filly, Skylark, Di Spanker, Mother Neasham, and Blacklock were walking in their own field. I'Anson sent Betrayal, and the Lapidist dam filly a striding gallop of a mile and three-quarters, and the T unstall colt, Cure colt, and Consternation galloped steadily. Scott brought out the following and gave them a brisk canter or two —Westwick, Viscount, War, Taraban, The Spy, Thors gill, Fecialis, Toison d'Or, Barna Bimbo, The Clipper, and Thunder, and, after walking for some time, Taraban and The Spy had a rough gallop of a mile and three-quarters. The following afterwards had the "sweaters" put on, and went five miles:—Taraban, The Spy, and Thorsgill, who, when they had gone a mile, were joined by Thunder. A nicer sweat I have not seen, all pulling up sound and well. Shepherd's continue doing strong work on private ground viz., Malta, George Osbaldestona, and Lady Z.ltland. The two last-named are making wonderful improve ment. FINDON.—For the Northamptonshire Stakes Thalia ran better than T expected, especially after the bucketing she has had. Next week will, of course, be blank, but at the Newmarket Craven Meeting, the week after, we have both Sir David Gain, and Madrid engaged. The former is in several very valuable stakes, but I do not think he is good enough ; to my mind he is on too small a scale, and requires more time. He will not, however, disgrace him self in second-class company when fit. Madrid is doing good work. The mare by Newminster out of Irish Queen is now all right, and takes her gallops freely, but she is not sent more than a mile. Our horses engaged in the Chester Cup are—Romping Girl, Owain Glyndwr, Proser pine, Thalia, The Breach, Sister to Vedette, Nalaton, and Demon. Thalia is away, and Proserpine and Romping Girl are in physic, but the others are going on first-class. EPSOM. —On Thursday Skirmisher was sent to lead Berserker and Ampleforth two or three nice half-speed gallops. Columbine went striding along for a mile at a good pace. Monitress practised hurdle-jumping, and Diamond led the Dundee colt a good gallop of a mile and three-quarters. Baroness, Glasgow, and Melbourne had two nice canters of a mile. Sherwood gave the following two goad pipe-openers of a mile :—Marquis of Worcester, Vanbrugh, Maid of Avenel, Bonnie Katie, Sea Serpent, and Buffoon. Potter gave some rare work to Helice, isabolle, V.tn Diemen, Lady Glencora, Admiral Fitz roy. Nightingall was busy with Nutpecker, Cecil, Merry Andrew, Warlike, Adjutant, Engraver, and Little Go, sending them two good gallops on the tan. Mont Blanc went a rare gallop of a mile and a half. Cap tain Crosstree went a really good gallop, going in better s'yle than I ever saw him, and afterwards left for Bedford. Friday.—Norrington, Brilliant, Lord of the Isles colt, and the Crater colt did the mile twice. Nutrition, Glengar noek, Nutriment, Cairo, and Vision di.l plenty of slow work. The Squire's team did the same amount of work as on the previous day. All our horses engaged at Broth ley have done uncommonly well, and will bo looking after the different stakes. They consist of the following : Skirmi•h, Columbine, Diamond, Merry Andrew, Dunstaff nage, Mont Bianc, Queen of the Forest, Kismet, John Bull, Roving Maid, Tina, Admiral Fitzroy, Lady Glen cora, and King Alfred.

AD VERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Pills.—Many persons are apt to regard the winter past when a few bright days enliven them, and some are rash enough at once to change warm for lighter clothing. Much risk attends their im prudence, though the inevitable ill-health resulting from it can be readily set right by recourse to these purifying and corrective pills, invaluable to the sickly at all times, and doubly useful to this season when they cast out e the impurities of winter and fortify t he system agaisst th sudden variations of, and frequent epidemics attending spring. Holloway's medicine rela xes the skin, yermits free transpiration through its pores, and thus rids it of the irritation and harshness, which increasing temperatures make aipoyieg t 9 tha laelYQUA and genmitive.

J. 0. supplies the Crowned Heads of England and France and the chief of the aristocracy. By the use . of his "Spanish Meal" any quantity of birds can be raised. The hundreds of thousands of heads of Game reared on my system during the last ten years proves its utility ; the loss from every cause has not averaged three to the hun dred. Gapes and Roup (the two most fatal diseases which attack game) the birds have been and always are free from. This is attributable to their robust constitution and excellent condition. Pheasants fed on my food show their beautiful plumage with hardness and closeness of feather to the greatest advantage; they cannot be sur passed.

TRAINING REPORTS. CHILTON.—Tho following horses aro in strong work for their engagements at Bromley:—Sprite, Maesgwatha, Virginia Creeper, Laura, Vigilant, and Triana. The last named and Virginia Creeper are engaged in the Spring Handicap, and the "Creeper" will take a lot of beating, as 'she is in first.rate form now. Triana is also engaged in the Bromley Plate and the Beckenham Handicap, and ought to win one of them. Laura is in the Bickley Stakes, but she will not have much chance of winning. Vigilant I need not say much of, as your readers well know his form. Ho is engaged in the Hurdle Race and the Steeple chase of 40 sovs. Railway Steeplechase—Maesgwatha is very moderate. Kent Open Steeplechase—We have Sprite in, but I cannot think that ho will be atle to pull this off. Second Hand, I see, cut up wretchedly at Northampton, but I still think there is a good race left in her. Others doing good work are Osprey, rrecociouq, M.A., Lilac, Careful, Congratulator, colt by Juskin, filly by Caliban, The Scout, and Alberta. Tho latter is pulling flash oil fast i 'and will be wanted shortly. LEWES. —There is nothing of Drewitt's engaged next week, but the following horses are doing good work:— Ines, Samson, Lictor, York, Burford, Wiuchilsea, Artist, Pontus, Woful, Wanderer, and a lot of others. This morning (Friday), Ines, Lictor, Samson, and York, after cantering a mile, were sent a two-mile gallop at a fair pace, and most likely some of them will be sent to Newmarket First Spring Meeting, as several are engaged in the free handicaps and the Newmarket Handicap. T. Read's Noedleworker, Shamrock, and Lady Lavender have done steady work since my last, and will most likely run at our Spring Meeting. T. Road's Belle of Kars, I see, is in the Bickley Stakes at Bromley, with a vary light weight on and she ought to win it, if worth keeping in training, but she performed very indifferently at the Southdown Hunt. She might, however, do better on the flat. _ ILSLEY.—There has been very little doing here this week. On Tuesday Dalby had two short canters and a steady gallop of about one mile, going well. Viridis took some walking and trotting exercise, looking first-class. Wednesday and Thursday morning the same amount of work was got through by the two Chestrr Cup horses, and they are in the bloom of health and condition. Land scape is also doing remarkably well for the Chester Cup, and he will take his own part among the three year olds. Orion has done some useful work since Epsom. He was out on Thursday with the two year olds, and Oliver Reeves was here to see him at exerci+f or aatthew Paw son's stable at Newmarket. HEDNESPORD.—WO have had two fresh arrivals since my last in Vermicelli and a good-looking colt from Ire land. The next will be a very dead one with us ; but for the Lichfield Meeting we shall, no doubt, have a large number of horses, as well as some for Newmarket Craven. Hopwood. has in work Rejoinder, Arran, Flying Scud, Louisa, Lucy, Frolicsome, Joyful, 'Master Butterfly, Res cue, and Fenella colt. Cliff sent Uncas and Kidderminster a lcng sweat this (Thursday) morning. The latter has thickened wonderfully, and goes very well. The follow ing others were at work for their early enoagemonts : Troubadour, Thermometer, Torch, Pharaoh, Oceans, Bassoon, Sister to Flying Jib, Ambition, Dunrobin, and Master Willie. The other stables are going on well, but there is nothing about them to report. FYFIELD.—III the Newmarket Handicap at the Craven Meeting we have Maid of Masham filly and Adam Bede onga'ged. Both are only in steady work at present. Boanerges is doing some good work daily, and I think he will win a race this season. Franchise, after cantering, galloped about a mile and a half, going well. Should she be brought out for the One Thousand, she would render a good account of herself. Tremble, Safety, Victress, Dulcet, At Last, Rattlebone filly, and several two year olds, aro all getting forward for their engagements. LAMBOURNE.—I see we have a couple of horses engaged at Bromley. Protection is in the Bromley Plate and Spring Handicap. I cannot say which she will run for, but she must be watched, for she will give the winner of either some trouble to beat her. Lord Paramount is in the Spring Handicap, but will not run, as it was only a few days since he underwent the operation of the knife. All our lots ap pear to be in perfect health, but there is nothing of im portance to mention concerning them except that Marks man now comes out with the morning string. KlNGscLEnz.—On Thursday The Palmer led Rosicru cian, Blue Gown, and Green Sleeve a canter of a mile and a quarter. Xi cantered with Adosinda, Pero Gomez, Nyl Gau, and King Cophatua. Fakir and Sister to Rosicru cian cantered steadily. Moving to the Sydmonton Downs all cantered steadily a short distance. Satyr then led Blue Gown and Green Sleeve a nice gallop of nearly two miles, all going well. Blue Gown will be very fit by the Craven Meeting at headquarters. The Palmer led Rosicrucian and Adosinda the same distance, the crack going iu fine style. I never saw Rosicrucian looking better. Xi, with Fakir, King Cophetua, Nyl Gau, Pero Gomez, and Sister to Rosi crucian galloped a mile at a steady pace. The last named I like very much indeed, and she will turn out a fast one. Friday—The fog being so dense this morning the horses did not come out until nine o'clock, when the whole of our team went to Cannon Heath Downs, where they all, with the exception of Wolsey andCotytto, cantered about a mile and a quarter, after which they proceeded to the Sydmon ton Downs, but that being private property, and the fog again coming on, I could not discern the amount of work done. NEWMARKET. —Friday—Arnull galloped Marmite and St. Angela. Hay hoe galloped Restitution, King Alfred, Suffolk, and Jasper. 131anton gave some useful work to Demonstration, Stephen Langton, Verulam, Handsome Jack, Pyrenees, and Bounceaway. Matthew Dawson sent Speculum, Pace, Julius, aad Pericles a long canter up the Cambridge Mil. Innerdale, Corinne, Angus, and Capitalist galloped across the flat. Harvester, Pace, and Silenus afterwards went steadily about a mile and a half. Jennings cantered his team twice, and afterwards Auguste, Troca dero, Le Sarrazin, and Longchamps went a good gallop up the hill, laclatgoubert le4 Quagau, roapier, 1// /. e. . . . \ >c * ff7 4 ‘• L.. GOVERNMENT GRANTS TO WINCE . _ AND ART.' • • A deputation - trom Birmingham representing& science and art institutions of the town, lately waited Artion OW- Duke of Marlborough, to request a grant in aid of both departments. The Dula said some statements had been made charg ing a monopoly of the Government subsidy upon London, and he had requested Mr. Cole to be present. He would call upon him to reply to the remarks which had been made. Mr. COLE observed that there was no foundation for the remark that London monopolised the subsidy which Government granted. They had a School of Mines in Jermyn-street, to which the most eminent scholars, evolved by competition, from all parts of the country, were admitted. Admission to the school was by payment, which was high ; and a branch of the school was chemistry, which was nearly self-supporting, r erhaps more. The ppyments amounted to £3O for the two scsaions. The School of Mines cost a good deal of public money, and there was not a sufficient number of students to pay the requisite salaries for the different professors. With re spect to science generally, examinations were, it was true, conducted in London, but simply because all the professors lived there. The principle which had been adopted was to pay for results. Mr. Mathews sa:d the students at the Midland Institute did not earn more than £3O. That was entirely the fault of the Institute, because in the same town were two schools—one of 59 pupils, at St. Matthias', where they earned £54, and one of 45 pupils, at St. Barnabas', where £7O was earned. Ile knew no reason why the Institute students should not earn as much. There was no monopoly in London as regarded payment for results. With respect to Art, there was an institution which trained teachers. They were trained in two grades in provincial schcols, they came to London, and received a weekly allowance to sup port them while they were studying. The private pupils paid a sufficient sum to allow of a surplus being handed over to the Exchequer. Statistics were taken five or six years ago, and it was found that one-half of the whole of the students lived in the provinces, and of the other half only one-third lived within two miles of the Museum. Then they seemed to have forgotten that every town could bOrrow some of the treasures out of the Museum for local exhibition, The Dula said the subject which had been brougnt oefore him was one of the utmost importance. It must be evident to the gentlemen who formed the deputation that the mode in which Government assistance could properly and most wisely be distributed for the promotion of techni cal education, the improvement of design, and generally in forwarding the manufacturing progress of the country, must be a matter of very grave consideration. He re gretted that manufacturers were not so ready to acknow ledge the importance of science and art teaching as they should. The Government had laid down the principle of aiding, but not superseding, local effort. They followed rather than led. There was no doubt that the position of English manufacturers was threatened very seriously by continental firms ; and it would be a matter which ought to be very thoughtfully considered in every town. Mr. Samuelson had moved for a committee of inquiry which would help the Government to decide upon what altera tions to make, if any were found to be necessary, in the regulations which existed. After referring to the example set manufacturers by Mr. Whitworth, his Grace said that the decision arrived at on the whole question was one which he hoped would give satisfaction to the country. Professor Looms, of Yale College, says that this winter has been the coldest in New Haven, in America, for ninety years, with the exception of the winter 1835-6, which was one degree colder. The Lord Bishop of Chester has conferred honorary canonries in Chester Cathedral upon the Rev. John Barclay, M.A., vicar of Runcorn, and the Rev. Andrew Knox, 8.A., incumbent of St. Mary's Church, Birkenhead. WEIGHTY MATTERS.—The Post Office department having now to carry official correspondence without charging the postage to the several Government offices, have given an estimate of the quantity for the year. It is calculated at 14,121,300 ounces. Professor Agazziz has recently been lecturing in America, advocating artificial fish culture. He declared his conviction that of all animal substance fish was the best adapted for food for those engaged in great mental labour, as it was the most nutritious in repairing the wear and tear of the human brain. Southampton Water is now swarming with young whiting. Scares of boys and men are line-fishing there daily, and catch the fish almost as fast as they can throw in their lines and pull them up again. Worms are the usual bait, but whiting themselves are cut into pieces and form bait to catch others. The fish are remarkably voracious. They run, as regards size, generally about the length and thickness of a man's finger. THE LONDON NATIONAL SOCIETY FOR WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE.-At the committee meeting held April 2, at Aubrey House, three new members were elected for the executive committee, Mrs. Brewer, Mrs. Russell Martineau, and Miss Eliza Leary. Miss Caroline Biggs was also elected joint secretary with Mrs. P. A.Taylor. During the month several members have been added to the committee, amongst whom may be mentioned Miss Nightingale, Viscount Amberley, M.P., Sir J. Bowring, Sir R. Anstru ther, Bart., M.P., Mr. G. Hadfield, M.P., Prof. Robertson, Mr. Beales, Mr. W. H. Ashurst, and Professor Kennedy. Lord Robert Montagu has already stated in the House of Commons that Mr. Whitworth intends to found thirty scholarships, having an annual value of £lOO each, for the instruction of young men in mechanics, &c. The minute which his lordship proposed to lay upon the table is now published. From this it appears that Mr. Whit worth wishes these scholarships to be held on conditions defined by a deed of trust during his life, and after his death he proposes that the management should rest with the educational authorities for the time being. The voluntary State system, as it may be called, upheld by the Privy Council led them to accept the grant ; and they hold up Mr. Whitworth as an example to the country, and call upon the country to follow in the way he has led Teen PORTSMOUTH REviEw.—Strang RS it ma, appear, it is actually not yet decided whether there shall be a field day and review at Portsmouth on Easter Mon day, or merely a march past on Southsea Common. The military authorities and the volunteers naturally prefer the substantial practice of a sham fight to the vain glories of a mere march past, and time, it is very certain, will not permit of both. The programme, as origi, nally laid out, included a march pass at- Southsea about noon, and the attack and defence of Hilsea lines in the afternoon. But it has been represented to the War Office by the railway authorities that it will be impossible to have all the men on the ground in time for a march past before noon : and as the march past would occupy about two hours, it would not be possible for the men to go through all the evolutions of a field day, and be at the various stations in time for return to London the same night. It comes, therefore, to this, that either the march past, for which the inhabitants of Portsmouth are stickling, or the field-day, which seems to be the raison d'etre of the whole affair, will have to be given up.— Hered. CONFLICT WITH BURGLARS.—At Bolton a despe rate encounter took place between a policeman, a civilian, and two burglars. It seems that the latter were attempt. ing to break into the shop of Mr. John Lomax, pawn broker, Deans,ga,te, when P.C. Bailey had his attention attracted to it by hearing a noise, and on going into a place called " Stapleyard " he saw two men in a yard behind the shop removing earth, in order to cffeot an en trance into the premises. One of them, known to be a prizefighter named Griffiths, attacked the officer, and the other burglar assailed another person who had come up to the assistance of Bailey. The second burglar having dealt his antagonist some severe blows, took to his heels, and the policeman had beaten Griffiths so much with his staff that it actually broke into two parts ; Griffiths seized one half whilst Bailey retained the other, and the two con tinued to strike each other. The prizefighter got the officer down and kicked him several times ; but the latter being assisted by the man from whom the other burglar had succeeded in escaping, was enabled, aster much trouble, to convey Griffiths to the police-station. The officer is dis abled for the present, and the pugilist bears marks of se vero punishment. THE ENTAIL ON THE DUKE OF ITAMILTON'S ESTATES. — In the Edinburgh Court of Session an actioni, ha i sber tried of great importanc e res p ecting the Duke of ia m . l- ton's estates. It was an ac tion of declaration brought by his Grace the e d DLouk ofCharles Hamilt on George and Archibald Brandon against his brother, r and o thers, found for the purpose of having it leclared that the various deeds of entail of Hamilton, a n l. the Hamilton estates are invalid and ineffectual in so far as regards tie prohibitions and irritant and resolu tive clauses therein contained and referred to, and that he (the pursuer) is entitled to hold the said estate in fee simple, and dispose of the same at pleasure. Lord Barcaple gave judgment, finding that the entails under which the Luke of Hamilton holds his ancestral estates are invalid in the terms of the Rutherford Act (11th and 12th Vict., c. 3G), and that he-is entitled to hold his estates in fee simple, and dispose of them at pleasure. The case goes, of course, to the Inner House, but no doubt is entertained among lawyers that the Lord Ordinary's judg must be affirmed. Kent, Cut' kamcs harl©s ~- __..-
