The Commander-in-Chief has approved the ap pointment of Lieut. F. A. Gore, 84th Regiment, as Aide-de-Camp to his Excellency Lord Napier, K.T., Governor of Madras. Yesterday a general court-martial assembled at Chatham garrison, by order of the Duke of Cam bridge, Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, for the !trial of Captain James Hett Tennant, 45th (Sherwood Foresters) Regiment. The court was presided over ty Colonel J.. L. A. Simmons, C. 8., Di re ctor of the Royal Engineer establishment ; and Colonel the Hon. J. J. Bourke, commanding the 3d Depot Battalion, was the official prosecutor. Col. J. H. Laye, Deputy-Judge-Advocate for the district, conducted the trial. The prisoner was ar raigned for having, when in command detach mentofa of troops of the line of the 3 d De p ot Battalion, stationed at the Isle of Grain, absented himself from his corps without leave from the 6th October until the 21st of December, on which day he rejoined his regiment at Chatham Garrison. The prisoner pleaded " Not guilty." The witnesses examined iF on s Capt. the part of the prosecution were H. F. S. Lloyd, Royal Engineers, in command of the troops quartered at the Isle of Grain ; Capt. and Adjt. T. N. Colthurst, 3d Depot Battalion ; and Ensign G. Booth, 2d battalion of the 10th Regiment ; from whose evidence it appeared that the prisoner was granted leave of absence by his commanding officer from the afternoon of the 4th of October until the evening of the 6th of the same month. He, how ever, never returned to the Isle of Grain, which station the troops left on the 16th of November, the prisoner rejoining at Chatham on the 21st of De cember, when he was immediately placed under arrest. The prisoner, who had declined cross examining any of the witnesses, said, in his defence, that he was exceeding sorry for his conduct, and he trusted that the court in passing sentence would take into consideration his former character as an officer and a gentleman during the ten years he had been in the 45th Regiment. He then handed in a number of testimonials from the following officers, all of whom gave the prisoner a very high character —viz., Major-Gen. H. Cooper, late commanding the 45th Regiment ; Col. E. R. Jeffreys, C. 8., commanding the sth Depot Battalion ; Colonel H. Shaw ; Col. W. R. Preston, late commanding 45th Regiment ; Col. G. A. L. Blenkinsopp, late of the 45th Regiment ; Major R. B. Johnstone, late of the 45th Regiment ; and Capt. R. Blair, late of the 45th Regiment. The finding and sentence of the court will not be made known until it has received her Majesty's approval. The unarmoured frigate Bristol, 31 guns, 600 horse power, screw engines, Capt. Leveson E. H. Somerset, which arrived at Spithead on Monday from the West Coast of Africa, sailed again f rom Spithead at 4 p.m. yesterday for Sheerness, where she is ordered to be dismantled and paid out o f commission. The Bristol experienced very rough weather off the Azores on her passage home, and rolled so deeply at times as to ship large quantities of water over the lee netting. The, Crocodile, screw Indian relief troopship, Captain Watson, was placed iu the Warrior dock at Portsmouth yesterday, to cleanse her hull below the water line. THE GAME LAWS.—A good deal of excitement has been caused among the members of the llexlmin Far mers Club in consequence of the resignation of Mr. 0. G. Grey, the president, through the following resolution hav ing been adopted at one of its meetings :—" That many farmers suffer a heavy loss from damage to crops by hares and rabbits ; that landlords who preserve many hares and rabbits participate in the sins of the poachers by leading them into temptation ; that it often happens that poaching leads to greater crimes; and that a considerable sum is expended in keeping poachers in prison, maintaining their families, and also for prosecutions." At the annual meeting of ihe club, hold on Tuesday, after a long and animated discussion, the resolution was rescinded, - and ono that in the opinion of the club undue preservation o game was unjust to the occupiers of land and injurious to the community, and ought to be abated, Was adopted in its place.

COURT OF ARCHES. (Before the Right Hon. Sir Robert Phillimore, Dean of Arches.) MARTIN V. MACHONOCHIE.-RITUALISM IN HOLBORN. The argument in this suit was resumed this morning. - Mr. Stephen, Q.C., and Dr. Swabey appeared for the promoter; and Mr. Prideaux, Q.C., and Dr. Tristram for the defendant. Mr. Prideaux said that he would, with regard to the exposition of the reserved sacrament, refer his lordship to a voluminous judgment of Lord Wens leydale as to the position of the sacrament on the altar ; he also referred to a French work, which treated fully of the holy eucharist, published in 1673, in which the exposition was fully laid, and which with strong indignation stigmatiie.l neglect of the ceremonials attending upon the ad ministration of the sacrament. His attention had been called to the sth chapter of the 22.1 session of the Council of Trent, and he contended that that article referral to the rises and ceremonials of the Church. The Dean of Arches—What do you say to the word ceremonix? Then under the word cere monix must be meant the act itself ? Mr. Prideaux said he thought that the word was used differently in the Prayer-book, and that ser vices themselves were not meant there by it, but the ceremoniAls attending them. He would now come to the question of ele vating the elements, and, as he wished the defendant to have the advantage of the argument of Dr. Tristram, he should be as brief as possible. He contended that the article in the decree ac cusing Mr. Machonochie of this elevation went too far, and that as he did not attach any peculiar feeling to the elevating of the cup and the bread it was a question for the bishop. Mr. James said that it formed part of the decree by mutual conseut. Mr. Prideaux said he would then contend that the cup or bread could not be lifted without an elevation of the hands, and that it was in that man ner that it had been lifted by Mr. Machonochie, and as part of the divine action, and without any intention to carry it out as a ceremonial of elevation, but he would also contend that the elevation was not unlawful. It was for bidden in the Prayer-book, but the prohibition was afterwards withdrawn. It was not expressly men tioned in the second Prayer-book ; but this was in compliance with the Puritan spirit of the age, and its withdrawal was to check a spirit of irreverence which had sprung up. The case had not concluded when we went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SPECIAL CONSTABLE COMMITTED FOR ASSAULT ING A POLICE SERGEANT. — WaIter Brown, alias Paul de Paris, described as an importer of foreign goods, Cecil-court, St. Martin's-lane, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting Police-sergeant Leech, 17 C. Leech said that about half-past 12 the previous night he was called to Cecil-court, where he found the prisoner, who had on only his shirt and trou sers, making use of disgusting language, and caus ing a great disturbance, and he was told that the prisoner had been fighting. lie persuaded the pri soner to go home, and as soon as he got inside a kind of shop he kept in the court, he gave him (Sergeant Leech) a violent kick in the lower part of the stomach. He then took the prisoner into custody. In answer to Mr. Knox, the sergeant said that although he did not now feel any ill eff ec t s f rom th e kick, still he had been in pain all ni g ht. Th e pri soner was not sober. The prisoner said he was very sorry for what he had done. He had been drinking, and had no re collection of kicking the sergeant. Mr. Knox, after remarking that the prisoner might have killed the sergeant, asked whether the prisoner had been at the Court before, Leech said that he had for disorderly conduct, and he was known by the name of Paul. Sergeant Brady (acting inspector) said that re cently two boys were charged at the court with begging in urinals, when it transpired that they were employed by the prisoner to pull down the bills of a rival in his trade. drunk was no excuse fo r hi s kicking the sergeant Mr. Knox said the fact o f the prisoner getting in such a way. The prisoner had inflicted an in jury on the sergeant which might have cripplel him for life. The police must be protected, and he should therefore commit the prisoner for a month with hard labour. It was stated in court that the prisoner is a special constable. THAMES. REFRACTORY PAUPERS. —William Kew, alias M'Kew, and John Jipson, alias Jiffson, paupers chargeable to the City of London Union, were brought before Mr. Paget charged, the former with assaulting Mr. John Saunders, the master of the City of London Workhouse in the Bow-road, and the other with refusing to perform the task of work assigned to him. The prisoners were described by the master as able- bodied paupers, which they certainly appeared to be. They had been paupers since their birth, and had been educated in the Union school. The guardians had obtained situations for Kew, the oldest prisoner, bought outfits for him, and other wise provided for him liberally five or six times, but he had no sense of manhood about him; he preferred the dependent life of a pauper instead of the in dependent station of an industrous labourer, earning his own living. He had been frequently insolent to the master and refractory. He had been ordered to the stone-yard to work there, and he came to the master this morning and asked to be relieved, and to be put on the sick list. Saunders said he could do no thi ng of t h e ki n d without the order of the sur geon, and directed him to return to his work. He im me di ately struc k Mr. Saunders a severe blow on the eye, w i th hi s c l enc h e d fist, and knocked him backwards. The prisoner made a long address to the ma gistrate, and said he bad been convicted of felony and sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour, and was treated like a felon in the workhouse. He had been to that court two days in succession in " former pauper house" for sum monses, and because he had not 2s. in his pos session the summonses were not granted. He was treated most infamously. IL was a suitor in and justice was denied ;: im for . mer pauper house," Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. Mr. Saunders—The only piece of truth in the prisoner's statement is that he was sentenced to six mouths' imprisonment for felony. lie has been treated most indulgently. The case against Jipson was then gone into. He got over the wall and absconded from the Uni o n returned at night, t to the refractory l i v i a o s u s v e e r o y n d T i s u o e r s d d e a r y l y and n i was s H e n e ward. Yesterday morning Mr. Charles Wunch, the superintendent of labour, ordered the prisoner to pick 41bs. of oakum, and was put into the yard to execute his task. The prisoner refused to do any. The oakum was not picked in the evening. Mr. Paget thought 41bs. of oakum was a large quantity. Mr. Saunders said he could have imprisoned the prisoner for 24 hours, but he proposed to punish one day 41b. of o b a im kum by , w o h rd ic e i r i i i n ie g could h btoavepidekonien. oakura each day under prisoners in the M House e of t asked Correction how m uch picked sentence of hard labour. No one could give him the information. Mr. Saunders—The prisoner did not pick any of the oakum. Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to 21 days' im prisonment and hard labour. The Governor of the Wigan Workhouse, where a child was recently scalded to death by an idiot nurse, has been called upon to resign the office which he holde, COOKED FOOD FOR THE PEOPLE. At a meeting of the members of the Society of Arts, Mr. William Riddle, ci v il eng i neer , r ead " The details of a project for the preparation and distribution of hot food, by deli Very service, at the homes of the people in cities and towns." Mr. Riddle, in bringing forward the details on the present occasion, proposed to raise a capital of £7,000, to hire a plot of ground, and place on it a building of iron and glass, 160 feet long by 40 feet deep, in sixteen squares of 20 by 20 feet each, and about 18 feet high, with louvre ventilators. The build ing should be of interchangeable parts, a plain, cheap rectangular, probably ridge and furrow-roofed structure, like a section of the Crystal Palace of 1851. This building would cost, he had been told, from £1,500 to £1,800; and the district he proposed to work in the first instance was Islington and its neighbourhood. The reader went on to say that one great object he had in view was to shew that in such families there was an enormous amount of waste which might he avoided, and his desire was to remedy this evil by ccoking plain food on a large scale by a fucl saving apparatus. With such apparatus, they would b enabled to roast, boil, or bake meat, vegetables, and puddings of a plain description, to have the meat carved from the joints by skilful carvers, to have it weighed by assistants, and then placed, with gravy, in tin cases or in covered cylindrical jars. These jars were at once to be placed hot in japanned iron cases, or cupboards, mounted on a tramway in a room. These cases to be four or five feet square, and about two feet six inches high and each to form the seoarate interior of a cart, about the size of a parcels delivery cart. The s chicle being thus loaded, and closed behind by a panel, in which there would be as many doors as compartments of jars, would then be driven off to deliver the goods. The remains of provisions might be sold to the soup kitchens of the poor ; and it was believed that if thisi undertaking were carried out in a respectable manner, and on a sufficient scale, great public economy of fuel and food would he the resuit. But if time were money, there' would be a saving in thousands of households for the better education, nursing, or general care of , children. The reader went on to urge, in favour of his project, that the Glasgow system had proved a paying system, and that if Mr. Corbett,. the'promoter of that undertaking, could give, as he said, a gbod dinner for 4c1., it was only seasonable to believe that he (Mr. Riddle) could supply a similar benefit, superior in character, for Bd.—the meal consisting of meat, potatoes, greens, pudding, all of the b?st quality, and thoroughly hot. He saw no reason why eventually soup should not be provided for the poor and &livered in the poorest districts in common earthen jars carried in carts ; and the system of what he denominated (perhaps erroneously) a " civil corn. missariat " might extend upwards, so that at one half the prices charged by the great purveyors known in London, elaborate dishes of French or other cookery might find a large sale—the demand arising from the re duction of price and the public becoming used to the system. The paper was listened to with much attention, and in tho course of the brief discussion which ensued an opinion appeared to prevail that, while there could be no doubt about the feasibility and expediency of providing food for the people, a difficulty suggested itself in regard to the means of conveying cooked food to their homes under sudh circumstances as would ensure the timely attendance Of some one to receive it. This difficulty might not apply (to cases where a large number of persons engaged in a manufactory were in the habit of dining together at a regular period, but under an ordinary condition of things the system might prove to be less practicable than was now supposed. The cordial thanks of the meeting were, however, due to Mr. Riddle for the interesting and instructive paper he had read, and a vote to this effect having been unanimously agreed to, the meeting sepa rated. The Italian Government, it is rumoured, has agreed, in spite of its former decision to the contrary, to go on paying its share of the interest of the Pontifical debt. It is further reported that the emission of an Italian loan in Paris has been consented to by the French Government. Munich, Stuttgart, and Carisruhe have received invita tions from Berlin to send delegates to deliberate on the / foundation of the new postal treaty with Switzerlo n 1. The Norwegian Government, having opened negotia , .is for a new postal treaty, has sent Herr Rye as a delegate to Berlin. The authorities of Liverpool have received the formal thanks of her Majesty for " the enthusiastic and magnifi cent reception " they gave to Prince Arthur and Prince and Princess Christian. Her Majesty sees in the welcome " the most satisfactory and gratifying proof of the loyal attachment of the people of Liverpool to herself and her family." The disturbances which took place in Portugal on the publication of the proposal for a new law to regulate the duties on meat, rice, oil, and fermented drinks throughout the kingdom, by depriving the municipal councils and all the local authorities of the power of imposing taxes on these provisions, and vesting it in the Government, were of a very Serious character; The deputation, headed by the chief member of the Opposition in the Upper House, appointed to wait upon the King, was refused admission to the palace. Murmurs gave place to active resistance. Ultimately the guard charged, and many were severely wounded. The Chamber of Commerce at Oporto called a large meeting, at which resolutions were passed pledging those present to the closing of their shops and the evasion of the law by every possible means, even to the suspension of all commercial operations ; and similar resolutions were adopted at Minho. The Chamber met and the Ministers resigned, but though petitions were sent in from all parfs of the country, the bill was carried. It is supposed, how ever, that it will be considerably modified under the new Ministry formed by the Count D'Avila. The Brussels correspondent of the Morning Post fur nishes an account of the first meeting of the Belgian Chamber of Representatives, when official explanations of the recent transformation of the Ministry were given. For the action taken three reasons had been assigned. First, the answer to be given to the French invitation for Belgium to attend the Conference ; secondly, the unwil lingness of M. Frere, when Minister of Finance, to furnish funds to the Minister of War for completing the fortifications of Antwerp ; and, thirdly, a disagreement regarding the new schools for adults, somewhat resembling the night schools in England. The first may be dis missed at once, for the Prime Minister distinctly declared that the late Cabinet bad unanimously agreed that Belgium ought, under certain contingencies, to be represented at the Conference. As to the second, the retirement of the Minister of War was caused simply by the rest of the Cabinet agreeing to certain modifications proposed by the central section of the House in the Go vernment project for reorganising the army, to which he could not accede. The third point was the one which actually broke up the Cabinet. M. Vandenp2ereboom the late Minister of the Interior, had wish( d the adult schools to be placed under the working of the law of 1842, by which the co-operation of the clergy is obtained under certain conditions. He made proposals to this effect to the late Archbishop of Malines, which were partially ac cepted by him and the Bishop of Tournay, but to which no reply was returned by the other Belgian bishops. How eyer, on the archbishop urging further conditions which were found inadmissible, the negotiations between Church and State dropped, and the rest of the Cabinet resolved to organise the new adult schools out of the pale of the law of 1842. To this MM. Vandenpeereboom and Ropier de murred, and the crisis came. THE RIVERS POLLUTION COMMISSION.—DISPUTE AMONGST THE COMMISSIONERS.—At the adjourned inquiry held in Liverpool, Mr. Rawlinson, the chairman of the commissioners, protested with great warmth against the line of examination upon sanitary questions which had been pursued on the previous day by Mr. Harrison, one of the commissioners. lie accused Mr. I larrison of ignorance, of " badgering " the witnesses, and said that he would not enter another town with him, but would at the close of the Liverpool inquiry resign his commission into the hands of the Government. Mr. Harrison retorted that he had done no more than his duty, and that the questions which he had asked were within the scope of the inquiry. At a later period Mr. Harrison was questioning a witness upon some sanitary points, when he was abruptly stopped by Mr. Rawlinson, and during the remainder of the sitting Mr. Harrison was silent. At the close of the inquiry Mr. Rawlinson said that it had been arranged to hold an inquiry at Birkenhead next day, but he should certainly not proceed with any more business of the commission until he had seen the Secretary of State for the Home Department. LECTURES TO WORKING MEN. —Mr. T. Hughes, M.P., in inaugurating a series of lectures on history, poli tics, and religion, to be delivered by the Rev. H. Solly, at the Cambridge Hall, Newman-street, Oxford-street, for the benefit especially of working men, said he considered that working men required such lectures more than any other class. The lecture for that night, " The Poli tical and Social History of the Roman Republic," was well chosen, as probably the history of no other country, unless it was Greece, could better illustrate our own than that of ancient Rome. The Romans were distinguished especially for that sort of tenacity which con stituted a strong feature in the British character. With regard to religious history, the estrangement from its . consideration by working men had been a matter of deep concern to him and others who had the welfare of their country at heart. Religious questions could not be slighted without very serious injury to the foundations of both religion and politics, upon the soundness of which depends, sooner or later, the prosperity of nations. The attendance gave gratifying promise that Bir. Solly'e object w ill b e fully secured. ►SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. READING STEEPLECHASES. WEDNESDAY. The racing to-day was a decided improvement upon that of yesterday, and there were more people present to witness it. A large quantity of rain had fallen during the night, and just before the commencement of the racing there was a perfect downpour of rain and hail, which filled yester day's "gripe," rendering the course bad going. Fortu nately within the ring plenty of straw had been laid down or the visitors would have been obliged to stand ankle-deep in mud. For the first race, a Selling Steeplechase, there were four runners, but the finish was left to a couple, the favourite winning easily. An objection was lodged against her for having gone the wrong side of the post, but in the face of the contradictory evidence the stewards could not do otherwise than decline to interfere with the judge's de cision. The Guide, who was a good favourite, won the Innkeepers' Plate; Spatchcock, his stable compinion, alone of other three runners passing the pos►t. The race of the meeting was the Berkshire Open Steeplechase, which produced eight runners from the 10 who accepted. The absentees were Garus and Captain Crosstree. About the non-starting of the latter great dissatisfaction was expressed, as the horse had arrived, and had been backed at the lists. Lawrence, as soon as the numbers were hoisted, because a warm favourite at 7to 4. Alarengo and Fernberouglt were the most fancied of the others, and backed at 4to 1 each. The race was prolific of disas ters, only four of the eight runners passing the post. 'r he Cripple fell the first time round, and Farnborough, when going very well, came down at the same jump on reach ing it for the second time. Beth were severely injured, and were afterwards shot on the course. Lawrence fenced brilliantly, and had the race his own way nearly all the distance, ultimately winning by 150 yards. The last event on the card produced the most exciting finish of the day, and an outsider bowled over a great favou rite by a short head. Details of the day's sport are ap pended : A Selling Steeplechase of 3 sovs each, with 20 added ; four year olds llst4lb, five 12st - 51t, six and aged 12st 101 b ; the winner to be sold by auction for 50 sovs, and any surplus to be divided between the owner of the second horse and the fund; if entered to be sold for 30 sovs allowed Ito ; horses which have run at this meeting without being placed first or second allowed 51b ; about two miles. 31?.

Warwick Lass made the whole of the running, and won very easily by three lengths. Balloon ran out before reaching the farm house, and lost so much ground that Mr. Hobson pulled him up at the stand. Over-the-Sea refused the fence at the top of the hill after about a mile of the journey had been covered. On returning to scale, J. Land, the rider of Redwing, objected to the winner on the ground of having gone on the wrong side of a post. The stewards imme diately entertained the caso, and visited the spot in the meadows where the digression was alleged to have oc curred. The evidence not being conclusive, they con firmed the judge's decision. The winner was sold to Capt. Reeve for 55gs. The Innkeepers' Plate (handicap) of 40 soya ; winners after Dec. 81, at 10 a.m., 71b extra. About two miles and a half. Mr. H.

Spatchcock, to serve his stable compa nion the favourite, made the running, The Guide follow ing, attended by Puebla and LeWillows, Portfire bringing up the rear. After clearing the gorsed hurdles Le Wil lows ran up to The Guide, but on landing the farm-house fence he ran out and was not further persevered with, Puebla cleared the brook just in the rear of Spatchcock, whom he headed at the stand and showed the way to the top of the hill. Here he dropped back, and Spatch cock was again left in front, Portfire following in the rear of The Guide and Puebla. The last-mentioned blun dered and fell at the fence leading into the stubble field, and was not further persevered with. In the field Portfire stuck in a " grip," threw his ridor, and bolted across the country. The race was now left to Mr. Ellison's pair, and The Guide taking up the running at the gorged hurdle; and cantering leisurely home, won by a field. The Berkshire Open Steeplechase of 10 sovs each, with 70 added; winners after December 31 at ten a.m., extra. About three miles and a half. Sir W.

After a couple of breaks away the lot were despatched, Marengo cutting out the work, followed by the favourite over the farm-house fence. The water-jump was taken by the pair mentioned almost abreast of each other, Snow storm, Waterperry, and The Cripple following them. Be fore reaching the stand Arlescott took the place of Ma rengo, the leading division taking close order, Lawrence, however, having a slight lead of the lot named; Fara .borough, Integer), and Marengo coming next, separated at intervals of about a couple of lengths. This order was maintained till going up the hill-side, when The Cripple was indulged with the lead ; Snowstorm, who headed Lawrence, going on next, and Imogen fourth. In the middle of the field preceding the stubble, Snow storm ran out of the track, and took with him Arlescott and Imogen, but the trio were soon righted and went on in pursuit of the leaders and in advance of Farnborough. The Cripple held a clear lead as they went through the stubble, but at the fence leading out of it she came down heavily. The accident left Lawrence with a clear lead of his horses, Waterperry running second, fully 50 yards in advance of Farnborough, Arlescott, Imogen, and Ma rengo being in the rear of the last named; but Snow storm was so far in the rear that his rider, deeming perseverance useless, pulled up. Passing the stand the second time Lawrence had a clear lead of Waterperry, several lengths off following Farnborough, Imogen, Arlescott, and Marengo. The latter was pumped out, and Mr. Hobson, finding that he had no chance, pulled up and walked the horse back to the paddock. Water perry and Imogen followed the favourite up the hill, Farn borough being a long way in the rear, and so much ex - hausted that on reaching the fence out of the stubble—the same at which The Cripple previously fell—he came down and broke his back. Waterperry was in difficulties be fore he reached the gorsed hurdles, and Imogen took second place, Arlescott being now a long way in the rear. Lawrence retained his advantage to the end, winning in a canter by a hundred and fifty yards. Imogen fell at the brook, and rolled completely over her jockey, who, how ever, remounted and finished second. Waterperry cantered in a bad third, and Arlescott alone of the others passed the post. Both The Cripple and Farnborough were found to be so severely injured that they had to be destroyed on the course. A Handicap Selling Steeplechase of 3 sous each, with 25 added; the winner to be sold for 40 sous; abut two miles and a half. Mr. A. Weston's Belle of Kars . , by Knigl}t of Kars— Perfidious, 6 yrs, 10st 71b . • (T Iloade) 1 Mr. 11. Stollery's Miss Franklin, 6 yrs, 10st. lab (Ellison) 0 Betting-3 to lon Belle of ',Kars.

The latter made play, followed by the favourite and Patience, Sinite and Feigie bringing up the rear. In this order they passed the stand, but at the succeeding fence Patience ran out, and lost so much ground that Mr. Hobson soon afterwards pulled her up. Arlescott retained the lead until fairly in the stubble field, when he was beaten and stopped. Sir William was now left with the lead, and g F o e i i n g g i n h efaoduerdt fourth. i i te n i te at b l t a h n e d e g r o e rs d e a d t h t e r d f a l e r s m , - M ho is u s se E fe m n ni ce a , and Yeigie went on in pursuit of Sir William, whom he gra d ua lly overhauled ou the descent t o the brook, so that at the obstacle the favourite was not two lengths in ad vance ; he tired in the mud in the straight, and Feigie got up, winning a fine race on the post by a short head.

(Before the Lord Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Blackburn and Mr. Justice Lush.) This afternoon Mr. Stephens, in the absence of Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., moved for a decree nisi to show cause why the three alleged Fenian prisoners —Burke, commonly known as " Colonel" Burke, Casey, and Mullady—should not be bronght on a writ of certiorari from Warwick Gaol, where they had been conveyed on their committal by Sir Thos. Henry, at the Bow -street 'Police-court, to the Warwick Spring Assizes, and tried at the Central Criminal Court in London. The learned gentle man stated that it would be remembered that the former application had been postponed, in order that the Attorney-General might be consulted. Ile had had a private conversation with Sir John Karslake, who was now in court, and he had stated that he should have no objection if the whole of the pzisoners were included in the certiorari, but that he left the matter entirely in the hands of their lordships themselves. It would, after this, be use less to repeat the arguments which had been used in favour of granting the rule ; but he might men tion that by this course one of the strongest objec tions, that of the separation of the prisoners for trial, would be done away with. .The Lord Chief Justice stated that if it were in the hands of the court they should grant the rule. A rule nisi was accordingly granted in favour of all the prisoners. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. j Share( Railways.l Faid4 l %gen!
