The fields have been small and very moderate in quality, and the Grand National has engaged all the interest and all the specula tion. The Spring Cup used to boast of a racehorse or two, but to-day there was nothing but Knight of the Garter to beat a lot of bad ones, and the exhibition in the heavy ground, and carrying Bst 121 b, he made of his field, was a caution. Custance never had to let him out, and he won just as he pleased. The Steeplechase Handicap only brought out five runners, and The Doctor, with the form he had lately been showing, of course had odds laid on him, which he landed very easily, though if L. S. D. had not fallen at the water jump there would, perhaps, have been a close race for it. Chivalry was a very good thing for the Welter Handicap, and the moderate day's sport was brought to a close in time for the express to town.

A couple of failures preceded the actual start, in which The Clown got away in advance of Sister to Vedette, Honesty, and the favourite, clear of whom came Foodor, Adamante, Paxton, and Nu, Christmas Carol bringing up the rear. These positions were retained to the canal turn, when t'le favourite, heading Sister to Vedette, drew up to The Clown as they came along the lower ground, and heading him as they entered the straight, came on with a clear lead of Sister to Vedette and Adamante, the three being several lengths in advance of their followers. At the distance Knight of the Garter had disposed of his followers, came along unchallenged, and won in a canter by a couple of lengths. Twice that distance separated the second and third, the latter defeating Feodor by three lengths ; Paxton was fifth, Honesty sixth, Child of the Islands seventh, Christmas Carol and Purveyor next.

The favourite went to the front immediately the flag was lowered, and made play at a strong pace, followed by Ata lanta, Sincerity, L.S.D., and Nip in the order we have given them. As they approached the water jump they closed up and came on in cloee company, The Doctor clear ing it a length or so in advance of Mr. Barber's mare, the pair being followed by Sincerity, who, jumping short, fell on landing and rolled oTer Ryan, who appeared much shaken. This mishap was followed by L.S.D. coming to grief, as he, being immediately in her wake, was unable to avoid the fallen horse and rider, and also came to the ground with some bre° ; but young Elphick, with great nerve, was speedily upon his legs, and before his horse had gone half-a-dozen strides had, unassisted, remounted, and was soon following in the wake of his more fortunate op ponents. At the third fence Atalanta refused, and was left a long way in the rear, her place being taken by The Nip ; but Mr. Barber's mare repeating her refusal at the following obstruction, she was at once pulled up, and re turned home. From this point the race possessed but little interest, as the favourite gradually increased the lead, and ultimately won by 20 lengths. L. S. D. who headed The Nip as they came along the canal-side, finished second, a similar distance in advance of The Nip. _ _ The Welter Plate of 100 sovs (handicap), by subscription of 5 sovs each, with 50 added; winners of any handi cap after Feb. 22 (at 11 a.m.) 61b, twice 91b extra; if beaten for the Flying Mersey, Sefton, or Welter Handi caps allowed 31b, if not placed second or third 61b ; pro fessionals 51b extra.

So great was the violence of the sea that the coxswain and three of the men were washed out of the lifeboat on the occasion, but were fortunately enabled to regain the boat. A reward of £8 G. was likewise granted to pay the expenses of the institution's lifeboat at Irvine, N. 8., in going off on the 10th ult. and bringing safely on shore i❑ two trips, during a strong wind and in a very heavy sea, fourteen per sons from the barque Kate Agnes, of St. John's, N. 8., which came broadside on to the beach, about a mile from the river's mouth. A reward of £4O was also voted to pay the expenses of the Yarmouth and Caiser Lifeboats, in putting off in reply to signals of distress on the 23d ult., and saving, after considerable difficulty, seven of the crew of the ship Omega, of Newcastle, which during a strong wind ha I stranded on the Cockle Saud, and afterwards drifted and sank about 14 miles S.E. of Lowestoft. It appears that the master of the Omega would not leave her until she actually sank beneath him, when catching hold of the rope which the Caister crew had succeeded in throwing on board he man aged to save his life, the men hauling him through the surf into the lifeboat, a distance of some GO or 70 yards. A reward of £9 was likewise granted to the crew of the Moelfre lifeboat for going off on the 19th ult., in reply to signals of distress, and saving, during a heavy gale of wind from the N.E., the crews of three men each of the schooners March, of Liverpool, and Richard, of Bangor, which stranded in Maelfre Bay. A reward of £5 2s. 6d. was likewise voted to pay the expenses of the lifeboat at Fishguard, South Wales, in going off during a strong northerly gale on the 19th ult. and bringing safely on shore the crew of two men of the smack Gloucester Packet, of Cardigan, which had exhibited signals of distress in the roadstead. Rewards were also granted to the crews of the so ciety's lifeboats at Portmadoc, Maryport, North Deal, Buckie, Donna Nook, New Brighton, llayle, Padstow, Appledore, Newquay (Cardigan), South port, and Porthcawl, for various services during the recent heavy gales. Various other rewards were also granted to the crews of different shore boats for saving life from shipwrecks on our coast. Pay ments amounting to nearly £2,000 were ordered to be made on various lifeboat establishments. It was reported that lifeboats were ready to be sent to Broadstairs and Penarth. The Independent Order of Odd Fellows (Manchester Unity) has presented to the institution a lifeboat stationed at Cleethorps, on the Lincolnshire coast. The members of the Corn Exchange, Mark-lane, having also presented to the institution the cost of a lifeboat, the society had decided to name the large lifeboat at Yar mouth, on the Norfolk coast, " The Mark-lane," in compliment to tha subscribers, and since the boat had been so named she has been instrumental in saving life. A legacy of £lOO had been left to the institution by the late Miss Sarah Harrison, of Edge Hill, near Liverpool, and £5O by the late Miss J. M. Laing, of Abergele, Flintshire. An addi- tional liberal contribution of £l5O had boon re ceived per Mrs. Boys, from the trustees of the late Thomas Boys, Esq., of Hove, near Brighton. The Blackheath (Hartley) Amateur Dramatic Corps had also forwarded to the society a second donation of £25 14s. 2d. through H. P. Duke, Esq., being the proceeds of an entertainment recently given by them in aid of its funds. A subscription of one guinea a-year had been received as a token of gra titude from a passenger rescued, with others, by the institution's lifeboat at Holyhead, named the Princess of Wales, from the ship Lydia Williams, which was wrecked off that place on the Ist December last. The committee decided to name the Saltburn lifeboat " The Appleyard," in memory of the late John Appleyard, Esq., of Halifax, who had some time since bequeathed the institution a handsome legacy. It was stated that the annual meeting of the institution was to be held on Tues day next, the 10th inst., at the London Tavern, the Right Hon. H. T. L. Corry, M.P., First Lord of the Admiralty, having kindly consented to preside on the occasion. Reports were read from Captain J. R. Ward, R.N., the inspector, and Captain D. Robertson, R.N., the assistant-inspector of lifeboats to the institution,lon their recent visits to its various lifeboat stations. The proceedings then terminated. BANE OF FRANCE. PARIS, March 5.

P. Wilde anka WribfAi.oa; suit for propounding the will of tfre-1441fr: -. 4tet: n Chamberlain, wh o di e d on the 20thfi De;be4lB64. The case was o f a pecu li ar character. The plaintiff in the case is the soli c it or f or the Duchy of Lancaster, who claimed the testator's property on the part of the Crown and the defendant Davis was the executor under the will, but refused to propound it. The will was opposed on the ground of improper execution, incompetency on the part of the testator, and that at the time the will was made the testator did not know or understand its contents. It appeared that the testator was pos sessed of large property in the counties of Lancaster and Chester, which had been left him by his father. The property belonging to the testator in the county of Lancaster was stated to be worth from £30,000 to £40,000, and that in the county of Chester to about £100,000.. Though possessed of this large property, the testator was stated to be of peculiar and penurious habits, and, while he had residences in the counties where his property was situated, he generally resided in a small house in Bold place, Liverpool, and did not associate with people of his own rank. The testator was taken seriously ill on Satur day, the 17th December, ISO 4, and lie executed the will now propounded on the 20th of that month, about half an hour before his death. Evidence was given to the effect that the testator was incompetent to make the will at the time of making it, and the jury found accordingly. The property will therefore go to the Crown. STEALING A LETTER.— At the Dorchester Assizes, before Mr. Justice Blackburn, James Burgess was indicted for that he, being a clerk in the post office, did steal a letter containing two half-sovereigns, at Dorchester, on the Bth of August. It appeared that the prisoner had been aclerk in the post office at Dorchester about five months ; he had previously been in the Reading post office. Several complaints having been made of letters being missed at Dorchester, one of the travelling inspectors of the Post Office, named Houson, was sent to Dorchester from London to make an investigation He made up a test letter, into which he put two half-sovereigns, which he had previously marked. He addressed the en velope to Mrs. Morris, Liberty-place, Eastover, Bridg water. On the 7th of August he put that letter into the Dorchester mail bag at Poole. That bag would arrive at Dorchester about three o'clock in the morning, and it would be the duty of the prisoner to sort the letters in that bag, and put those addressed to Bridgwater into the Bridgwater mail bag. This letter did not arrive at Bridgwater. Mr. Houson then went to the Dorchester, post office, and saw the prisoner, and found from him that he had received the Poole bag and for warded the Bridgwater bag that morning. He said he had not seen the letter in question. He was asked if he had any objection to be searched. He said he had not, and a policeman who was present then took from the prisoner's pocket a sovereign, two half-sovereigns, and a quantity of silver. The half-sovereigns bad on them the, marks which Mr. Houson had placed upon them. The prisoner was then taken into custody. For the defence it was contended that the evidence was not sufficient to justify the jury in finding the prisoner guilty. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was sen tenced to be kept in penal servitude for five years. A STEPUOTITEIL—At the Worcester Assizes 'William Packwood and Caroline Packwood were indicted or ne glecting to provide sufficient food and other necessaries for Sarah Packwood and Herbert Packwood, aged respec tively nine and six years, children of the male prisoner, and step-children of the female prisoner. The evidence showed that the two children were found in the early part of January last in a most emaciated and filthy state ; that they were made to sleep on a wretched bed, while the female prisoner kept her own children sleeping on a feather bed; and that they were shamefully ill-fed, although there was plenty of bread and pork in the house, and a sack of wheat. The female prisoner had untruly said that she had not more than half a loaf in the house, and she tried to throw the blame on her husband. It appeared, on the other hand, that the husband was a farm labourer, who was always away at his work from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. ; that there were, as before stated, sufficient provisions in the house ; and that he had some little time before complained to the police of his wife's im proper neglect of the children. At the close of the case for the prosecution, Mr. Young submitted that there was no case against the male prisoner, and his lordship, being of the same opinion, directed an acquittal as far as he was concerned. The jury found the female prisoner guilty, and the Lord Chief Baron sentenced her to eight months' imprisonment. BETTING IN THE STREET.—At the Guildhall, two men were fined, on Thursday, £5 each for betting in the streets. Notice of appeal was given. The Poor-law Board has confirmed the suspc-- mon of Dr. Rogers by the board of guardians of the Strand Union, and called for his resignation. THE HOSPITAL FOP WOMEN. —Her Royal High ness the Princess Christian lately paid a visit to the Hos pital for Women, Soho-square, to inquire after one of her Royal Highness's servants, who is an inmate of that insti tution. Her Royal Highness visited some of the wards, and expressed her gratification at the general arrangement of the hospital and the appearance of comfort which the wards presented. At the Liverpool Coroner's Court, Mr. Clarke Aspinall held an inquest upon the body of Bridget Miles, 14 months' old, daughter of a sailor now at sea. On the 4th ult. the mother of the child, while in a state of in- sanity, threw it upon a fire at their house in Burnet -street. The poor infant was fearfully burned, and died on Tuesday last. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against the mother, who was committed for trial by the coroner. WOODE,N RAILWAY BRIDGES. —The North-Eastern Company have set resolutely about the replacement of the whole of their numerous wooden viaducts with stone and iron, and in some places with solid embankments. Up wards of £G7,000 lave been spent in this way during the past five years, and it is estimated that the work yet to be done will cost £1.10,000 more in the next six years. The Hutton, Mahon, and Whitby viaducts have been com pleted, the Ripon is in progress, and the Norton is being filled up. The Ouseburn viaduct will be next taken, after which the remaining works of magnitude will be the Esk Valley viaducts (two), and the Scotswood, Killington, Cassop, and Bradbury viaducts. The whole of the wooden 1 ridges, however, cannot be finished till six'years hence, and it is proposed to expend yearly a sum of abcut 220,000 until completion. These renewals arc done at the cost of revenue. MR. SPEKE AND THE " QUACKS."—The letter published by the medical advisers of Mr. Speke to the papers has already made known that his disappearance was due to the pernicious influence upon his health and mind of some " advertising quacks." We learn that Mr. Speke has, in fact, been the sport of a hypochondriacal delusion, due to the villanous arts which these scoundrels practise, and which have brought many a man before to the verge of insanity. The death of his elder brother threw upon him the apparent duty of marriage. Under the in fluence of the mental distress and groundless fears which these persons had instilled into his mind, he determined to escape from all cognisance, and hence his plans for dis- appearance. Mr. Speke is a calm-tempered man, of exemplary life, simple in manner, and, as this distressing incident shews, easily imposed upon. We venture to hope that from this most distressing incident will be evolved one permanent good— that the Home Secretary will be induced to press forward the Medical Acts Amendment Bill, which will rob those quacks of their power to assume raedical titles. It has been lying in the Home Office tLree years ; and Sir George Grey, Mr. Walpole, and Mr. Hard 3 have, in turn, expressed a general approval cf mr.ia pro- visions, but pressure of "public bus'ness " has prevented the measure from being introdtwek.i Medical Journal. ALARMING ILLNESS OF THE MsHop OF W IN . CHESTER.—The Right Rev.

Farnham railway station, on the termina tionand returned to the castle apparently in good health and spirits. About half-past two o'clock, however, he com plained of being slightly indisposed, and shortly after wards, immediately on taking his scat in the carriage at the castle entrance, for the purpose of taking a drive to the schools which lie had founded in the neighbourhood of Aldershot, his lordship was seized with a paralytic fit, and was removed into the study in a state of unconsciousness. Dr. Sloman, of Farnham, was speedily in attendance, and pronounced the case to be one of extreme danger, an ip!nion which was confirmed by Dr. Gall, who arrived by the first possible train from London. The several mem bers of his lordship's family were summoned by telegraph, and arrived during the evening. His lordship was prayed for at Farnham Church the same evening. His lordship preached the sermon at the opening of St. John's Church, Churt, on the previous day, and intended starting on his ordination tour on Monday next, which would have occupied a term of five or six weeks. The distinguished prelate is upwards of 78 years of age, and very recently completed the fortieth year of his consecration as Bishop of Winchester, having also previously presided over the see of Llandaff for eighteen months. In virtue of his office the Bishop of Winchester is prelate of the Order of the Garter. He is also provincial sub-dean of Canterbury, visitor of New, Magdalen, Corpus, Trinity, and St. John's Colleges, Oxford, and of the College of St. Mary, Will. chester, cress our ader gant did.
