SPORTING IN fELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MELTING. Mosn.ty. With hard ground, high wind, and plenty.of that New market pest, the dust, the week big with the ex.liternvut of the Two Thousand commences, with every prospeA of its being a very busy, one. Speculation on the great race was checked this morning by the downfall of Pace, be tween Whom and Formosa the issue was supposed to lie, and the advancement of the French horse, Le Sarrazin, to the premiership. At the same time it was announced that Lord Glasgow's Strafford's dam colt had broken down at exercise, and thus the three brothers Dawson, the trainers, have had the singular misfortune of losing one after the other their representatives for the great event. The Prince of Wales's Stakes was the chief event on the day's card, bringing out a very good field of 17, in which the top weights, The Palmer and Silonus, ran good horses, tho Ugh the former near home %vas shut out by the Duke of Newcastle's horse and Kingsland, the winner ; Wells, the rider t of Tince.. 3 Palmer, m a ki ng an object i on ou that ground after Admiral Rims won his two matches, and Prince Soltykoff lost both hie, while the absence of Moslem from the Spring Stakes robbed the race of the interest which his meeting Blue Gown would have excited.

Brigantine, who ran uncommonly shifty in the first 50 yards, was headed by the non-favourite, who came on with a strong lead to the distance.

Then came Lady Highthorn, St. Angela, King Victor, Artesian. and King Alfred inclose company, whipped in by Sir David Gam, Midwife, Ravioli, and The Salvor. On returning to scale Wells, ',Teeing he was third, made an oljection to the first two on the grottml of a jostle.

SUBSTITUTE FOR MEERSCITAUII.—it is said that if potatoes are peeled, macerated for about thirty-six hours in water, to which eight per cent. of sulphuric acid has been added, well washed with water, driA in blotting paper, and then in hot sand for several days, on plates of chalks or plaster of Paris, which are changed daily, being compressed at the same time, an excellent imitation of meerschaum, answering well for the carver or any pur pose not requiring a high temperature, will be obtained. But this is not all, for if after the potatoes have been thus treated they are further boiled in a solution containing 19 per cent. soda, a substance, resembling stags' horn, and which may be used for knife-handles, &c., will be formed. Some of the most eminent political friends of Mr. MW, both in Parliament and in the press, have found fault with the hon. gentleman's argument in favour of retaining the capital punishment in aggravated cases of murder. Pro fessor Newman at length comes to the defence of the hon. member for Westminster, against the adverse criticisira of the Star. The paper in question argued that Mr. Mill had left out of view the religious element of the question, and expressed an opinion that the public would shrink from putting to sudden death the criminals of whose salvation it is most difficult to entertain a doubt. Professor Newman submits that this can have no other meaning than that the public believes itself wiser, tenderer, and more discriminating than the Supreme Judge. _ The public wishes to save the man's soul, but thinks that God will he very hard upon him, will make no such allowances for his guilt as man makes, and will inflict upon him a punishment (if he be executed) far beyond what we think he deserves. To him it seems clear that belief in a future existence is only one more reason in favour of capital punishment in certain e-Ices. A man who cannot have a new career in this world, who can only become more depraved under long, hopeless punishment, which crushes out his moral existence, has in a future world an entirely new career, and, under an All-Merciful God, whose punishments can only be for the benefit of the criminal, he will have a Progvect of moral improvement after it had become im p)ssible in this world. Any other belief of a future state is, he thinks, as impious as it is irrational. The Professor does not say what claim a man has to a second career who has failed in the first. Tim PIOT AT DUKINFIELD.—At the Dukinfield Petty Sessions, a young man named Thomas Hatton, a factory operative at Stalybridge, was charged with being concerned in the riot at Dukinfield on the night of the Wth instant. Evidence having been taken as to the riot and damage committed at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Chapel, the prisoner was identified as having broken a. number of Windows with an iron-tipped stick. He was committed for trial at the Chester Assizes, but admitted to_bail, 148 own 9 . 1 RA - and two sureties of go each, PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED 6d. LONDON FREE AND OPEN CHUBUT ASSOCIATION.

That the weekly offertory prescribed by the Church of England, comprehending as it does the offerings of the many as opposed to the fixed and limited payment of a few pewholders, is the scriptural and most t fffient means of raising money for all such c pious and charitable uses' as the ministers and churchwardens shall think fit."

On the principle that one ought to go abroad to hear news from home, we read in the Vienna IVan4crer that a new insurrection is imminent in British India, having been fomented by Russian agents. Our Government is said to have discovered a plot, but a litt - Je too late in order to prevent an explosion, and Sir Robert Napier had been ordered to strike a decisive blow in Abyssinia or to make some arrangement with Theodore immediately, and to take back the British troops to India with all possible haste. The foundation for this statement consists pro. bably of the recent news of troubles among some Indian tribes, the reappearance of Feroze Shah, and the impend. ing alliance between the Amir of Bokhara and the Russian Government which we mentioned a week ago. It w. seem as *f fresh complcations were expected in this co ntry. In co i equence of the murder of French sailors at Osaka, cede s have been given to two French vessels of war to proceed at once to Yokohama to reinforce the French squadron in Japan and China waters. Advices from Jamaica received by the New York press are very satisfactory. The correspondent of the Herald says Governor Grant is a fixture for seven years. His administration appears to be decidedly what was wanted. Among other things it is stated that he is so pleased with .the conduct of the black and coloured population that he has appointed several to positions of trust and emolument in the new island revenue service. The report just rendered by Governor Grant to the Colonial Secretary " shews an appreciation of the needs of the island, and we now learn that the. culti vation of tea has beat attempted on a large scale. Between six and seven hundred_ yoUng Assam plants were iii - ifiTftedinto the island from the (loyal Gardens at Kew. 'lThe plants are said to give good proof that the climate and other conditions will be found suitable. The Conservatives of South Litneashire are about to m:dse a da , rmincd effort to unseat Mr. Gladstone should he offer himself for re - t•lec'i:on. An influential meeting has been held at Newton le - Willows, at which represen -1 Wives of every polling district in the southern division wen, present.. It was unaohnonsly determined that in the evtnt of Mr. Gladstone having occasion to seek re-election I tri jig the present year, every effort 5110151(1 be made by the Conservative party to oppose him. The names of several suitable candidates were mentioned, and a c:nrimittee ap• pointed to confer with them and report at a future meet ing. The proposition of a subscription towards the expenses of a contest was at once responded to. - Mr. U. D. Shafts, who had represented North Durham in the Liberal interest for more than twenty years, will not again offer himself as a candidate. A meeting of the Liberal Registration Association has been held at New castle, at which the names of several probable successors to 'Arr. Shaft 6 were mentioned. Ultimately a committee was formed to select a candidate. A Mr. Elliott will con test the division on the part of the Conservatives. The Dublin - correspondent of the Morning Post ttrtifies to the deep pain which the attempt on the life of the Duke of Mini urgh gave to all classes of society in the Irish capital. The telegram describing the cowardly outrage caused the greatest excitement ; its authenticity was for a time almost doubted, and, when a message came later along the wires confirming, the first announcement, the denunciations of the assassin generally uttered were acco mpanied by expression s of thankfulness that no mem ber of the villanous brotherhood had in any way endan gered the kindly feelings which so quickly sprang up between the royal visitors to Ireland and the Irish public. Had any mad enthusiast as much as insulted the Prince during his sojourn the people would undoubtedly have exe cuted summary vengeance upon him. This last actshows what Fenianism is ; the patriotism must be degraded indeed that can be sustained only by Vie assassin's bullet, or the destruction of innocent people by gunpowder explosions. _ - There WAS a great deal of excitement on the receipt of the intelligence in London . , The Athenreum Club filled the moment the rumour got abroad, and in many other clubs a similar interest was manifested. In the evening, at Drury-lane, at the Queen's, at the Haymarket, and other theatres, the national anthem was sung, and the audiences displayed great enthusiasm, of course regarerng it as an expression of thanksgiving for the safety of his Royal Highness. At Surrey Chapel on Sunday the service was conducted by the Rev. Arthur Hall, in the absence of his brother, the Rev. Newman Etta He preached from the text, "My times are in Thy hands." He said the deplorable event which had been telegraphed on Saturday illustrated the text, and shewed that the lives and times of all persons were in the hands of God. It was through His providential interposition that the deadly intention of the assassin was defeated, and tc Him alone they should be thankful for the almost mira culous escape of his Royal Highness. At the close of the service a special thanksgiving was offered up for hit escape, and an earnest prayer for his speedy recovery frorr the effects of the wound. The public mind is even non not quite at rest, nor will its apprehensions be fully allay& until further information is obtained and the safety of hi* Royal Highness is placed beyond all doubt. There it abundant evidence of the horror and indignation with which the intelligence •of the cowardly attack upon the Duke of Edinburgh has been received by all classes of the community. The detestation of Fenianism, which pre vious outrages had rendered so general, has been cleepeneci and intensified by this malignant attempt to murder ar amiable Prince while engaged in so interesting and con. ciliatory a visit. The Home S^cretary received the intelligence just as he rose to address the gathering which had assembled at Oxford to witness the laying of the foundation-stop^ of tIIE lieble College. The right hon. gentleman read Lord Be more's telegram amid a profound sensation, which wal followed by enthusiastic cheers for the Q'tteen. Mr. Hard) proceeded to say it was indeed a fatal thing for Englark that she had found among the subjects of her Majesty mer who could have the baseness to wound her throhh hei children. It was sad to think that the country had mer who, for the sake of disturbing that country, would no' shrink from laying their hands on the innocent, on Of young, and those to whom the country was cicvotcdij attached. But it had already been shewn in that assembl . 3 that wherever the deed of this miscreant was rela i te v d o , te r , would call forth throughout England a feeling .

We now find a new character the story—Julia de Eber genyi,. a canoness. , That title indicates one who, though still remaining in the world, professes to devote herself to, religion and good works under the sanction of the Church; hut in this cnse Julia became the femme dc liaison of the Count Choriusky, and.she probably loped to become his wife. The first wife. however---tlle discarded actress— was still alive. Whp plotted the subsequent e.ctions will never, perhaps, lie clearly known ;. but a lady from Vienna visited the wife, obtained an interview with her, and in some way seems to have won her temporary confi dence, as they hail apparently arranged to go together to the theatre. But when the carriage arrived, the twes ladies had disappeared, and the wife's door was locked. The - next day it was br.iken open by the police, and the poor woman was found dead —poisoned by C.) ankle of potassimn. There_ was nothing to indicate suicide nothing to suggest robbery ; and of course suspicion fell on the strange lady.

It was also ascertained that the husband had conteMplated marrying the canoness, and thus a motive for the murder was suggested.

The following account of an interview with King Theo. dore is taken from a volume of " Travels in• Abyssinia," published by Herr von Henglin, who saw him in April, 1862, on a second visit to Magdala : "It was from a long distance, on the slope of a hill, covered with a few clumps of trees, that we beheld the camp of his Majesty the Negus—'Negus Negest za ./Ethicpia, Theodore ll.' The King was sitting in the midst of a circle of priests and officers, while in all direr. tions spread long rows of tents arranged in groups ; the lanes between were thronged with a many-coloured crowd of soldiers, cattle, horses, and mules. A large open space separated the ground on which stood the royal tents and stables from the rest of the camp. Having gone through the necessary toilette in a great hurry, w e started on our way, surrounded by torch-bearers, through a long line of Life Guards. We found his Majesty in a large tent, divided into two parts by a curtain of light cotton sheets. Ile was dressed in a simple white red-bordered schamma,' or cloak, and reclining on a low divan, with carpets spread out in front ; to his right stood his Etschege, or confessor, and to his left several officers, together with princes of the royal house. After greeting us in a kindly though somewhat ceremonious manner, the Negus invited us to be seated on the carpets to his right, and then entered into conversation by means of an interpreter in the Antlterian dialect. It has been the custom from the oldest times at the Abyssinian Court that the sovereign should not exchange words directly with strangers, but only through a confidential person called the 'AI ' or Mouth of the Negus ;' such visitors Must, moreover, be attended by a Ealtradar,' or master of the ceremonies, who looks to their corporeal wants. We began by tasting some delicious mead and honey-brandy, served out in magnificently cut-glass tankards, in doses sufficient to upset a giant, and then, it being supper time, our Baltradar ' inquired whe•her we desired meat, which we might have, although it was in the season of the strict Easter fast. On our reply that we preferred to live according to the custom of the country, there appeared instantly before us a capaeiens meaeb,' or basket. covered with red cloth, and filled with fine wheaten I,read, fruit, and pepper sauce ; a similar basket, of like contents, was put-before the King's suite. The latter fell to at once, and we imitated their example, sitting cross legged around our meseb,' and answering all the while questions put to us by his Majesty. After finishing Our frmsal repast, which brought tears into the eyes of our poor doctor, the pepper sauce being too strong for hint, the conversation became more and more lively, till at last the Negus threw off all restraint, and began to converse with us directly in Arabic, which he spoke very fluently. His Majesty had greatly altered since my last visit, in the year 1853. It seemed to me that his face had got darker ; however, the fire of his shrewd and cunning eyes was still the same. He spewed an excellent memory, reminding me of things I had long forgotten ; among others, that we had once exchanged the vows of brotherhood, and that I had told him on that occasion he was the man to save Ethiopia from ruin, and restore it - to its ancient glory. In the end, I congratulated his Majesty upon the victories he bad achieved since I had last been on a visit to his Court, with which the audience came to an end, the King telling us not to forget to ask for anything we might desire, as all that he owned was at the disposition of his friends. We had scarcely returned to cur tent, when a number of royal servants arrived with presents—one bring ing a fit e marget,' or woollen cloak embroidered with silk ; a second some beautiful crystal goblets, richly gilded ; a third, several vessels with mead ; and a fourth, a cow's horn, three feet long, filled with honey-brandy. The next morning, and every morning after, a royal mes senger inquired after our health, in reply to which we despatched Rumba to wish his Majesty 'good morning,' after the custom of the country." The following names of the principal persons who were held iti o captivity by King 'Theodore is taken from the blue book which was presented to Parliament a short time ago : 1. Mr. H. rtaasam (Syrian), agent of the British Govern. ment. 2. Mr. C. D. Cameron (English), British Consul at Ards& iowab. 3. Mr. L. Kerans (Irish), secretary to Consul Cameron. 4. Dr. Blanc (German). 5. Lieutenant Prideanx, officer in the British army. G. It. M`Kelvey (Irish), servant to Mr. Cameron. 7. J. Makerer (French), ditto. 8. M. A. rardel (French), painter and teacher of lan. gu4ges, 0. Rev. 11. A. Stern (German), missionary. 10. Rev. H. Rosenthal (German), missionary 11. Mrs. Rosenthal (English). 12. rev. J. M. Flad (German), missionary. 13. Mrs. Flad (German), and her three children. 14. Rev. W. Staigcr (German), missionary. 15. Rev. F. Brandeis (German), missionary. 16. 11. Sdhilier (German), natural history collector. 17. T. Essler (German), ditto. It will be seen from one of the telegrams that sixty prisoners in all were released, and are now on their way tc Zoulla. Those not enumerated in the above list consist of European workmen tempted to Abyssinia by Theodore, and detained as captives. A sad accident occurred at Chicago on Good Friday. The Roman Catholic Cathedral of St. Mary was filled with worshippers, and the weight of the multi: tilde caused a portion of the floor to give way, which, raising a great dust, led some one to cry " Fire'" A terrible panic ensued, and in the rush that was nixie for the doors four women were crushed to death, and twenty or more persons were seriously injured, three of them having since died.
