AYLESBURY ELECTION. AILESBURY WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9.—The town during th e day has been r-markably quiet, and but for the ap - P e arance of a n um b er of boys bearing placards, inscribed " Beth e ll f or ever, " and " Ferrand and Protection," &c., no Person would imagine that a great contest was about to take Place between the supporters of Free-trade and the friends of Protection. Notwithstanding the apparent want of excitement, there can be no doubt that a severe struggle is expected, and both parties appear confident of success. The general impression, ?tOrrever, appears t o b e t h at t h e pr i nc i p l es o f Free • trade will be triumphant, notwithstanding the strenuous exertions Inade by the Protectionists. In the course of the day Mr. Bethell has visited the dis tricts of Hartwell, Stone, Denton, and Haddenham, where we believe his canvass has been very successfu'. „kr.

(4 THE SUN, SPORTING NOTES• No. XXXII. SCRAPS FROM NEWMARKET. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Slft,—Tho race for the Colamn Stakes yesterday did nc t end exactly in the manner I thought it would, but it was very nearly doing :,u; the horses that I selected to fill the three first places did accomplish that feat, only, instead of Ariosto's being first and Payment second, as placed in my , tea, they reversed the order of things; but Merry Peal seas absolutely third. Payment won very easily, and at once and for ever extinguished Ariosto's Derby pretensions; and at the same time established her right to an equal fa vouritism with Aphrodite and Iris for the Oaks. She is evidently in her spring form of last year, and " come what will, come what may," she, like unto the mighty mower of human grass, will fly through the roughest day. Teddington was brought out for tt e 2 0 sovs. Stakes, and found so many admirers, after achieving a ridiculously easy victory over Midas, that he was forthwith elevated to the rank of second favourite for the Derby, at 8 to 1; he has much improved on his last year's form ; but, in my opinion, is barely good enough to win the great event of the present year. The betting on the Heath during the afternoon underwent some important changes in additon to Teddington'a sudden advance for the Derby. The Black Doctor and the Knight of Avenel at 10 and 15 to 1, and the colt by Gladiator, out of Khorassan's dam, at 20 to were in considerable came for the Chester Cup ; as was Constellation at 13 to 1 for the Derby. For the Port Stakes to-morrow I have reason to believe that Officious will not run ; in consequence the race will lay entirely with Beehunter and The Knight of Avenel, and although the former is such an immense " pot " for it, it would by no manner of means surprise me to find The Knight the winner. The latest betting (up to half past twelve this day) is as follows :—Port Stakes-6 to 5 em Beehunter, sto 4 agst The Knight of Avenel. 2,000 Guineas-5 to 4 agst Grecian, offered; sto 2 agst Mountain Sylph colt; 7to 1 agst Sir J. Hawley's lo'. Chester Cup -10 to lon the field; 15 to I agst night of Avenel; 16 to 1 agst The Italian ; 20 to 1 agst Gladiator colt ; 25 to 1 each agst Hesse Homburg and Woolwich. Derby-6 to 1 agst The Prime Minister, offered ; 8 to 1 agst Teddington ; 8 to 1, 17 to 2, and 9to 1 laid to a large amount agst Grecian (this, after the enormous extent of pepper administered lately, looks queer); 15 to 1 agst Constellation ; Marlborough Buck not mentioned. Mem.—A report has been in circulation for some time past that Lady Evelyn is in " queer-street," and that she has been put to the stud; the re , ort is not altogether without foundation, but rumour, as usual, has considerably embe'- lished - the actual state of the case. I shall return to the subject next week. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. April 10, 1851. • THE FRIMLEY MURDER. (From the Times.) The decision of the Government with reference to the fate of three of the principal actors in the Frimley tra gedy has relieved us from the necessity of any tenger keeping silence on a subject which seems to call loudly for the animadversion of those whose duty it is to watch the administration of criminal justice. The Learned Judge who sentenced Levi Harwood and James Jones to death did not accompany his judgment with the usual announcement that - the pri soners had no mercy to lock for in Ibis world. The matter, therefore, seemed to be left completely open to the discretion of the Secretary of State of the Home De partment; and we were unwilling, whilesuch was the ciee, to invade, by any premature observations of our own, the awful prerogative of mercy which the constitution reposes in his hands. But now that the fate of these men has been decided, and the Secretary of State has come to what appears to us the just and reasonable con clusion, that the lives of the two criminals are justly forfeited to the law we feel it our duty to pre. sent our view of the remarkable proceedings which have terminated in this result. After the mur der of the Rev. Mr. Holiest last autumn, our readers are aware that a proclamation was issued, offering pardon and reward to any person who should make known the perpetrators of the crime; and to This general offer there was but a single exception—the person, namely, by whose hand Mr. Holiest met his death. Four persons were taken into custody on suspicion of having been engaged in the robbery and murder, property belonging to the deceased gentleman was found upon one of them, and a chain of circumstantial evidencecon nected each of them with the other, and all of them with the crime. Bat the matter was not left to circumstantial evidence; a witness of the murder survived in the person of Mrs. Hollest—a lady whose testimony is entitled 'to the greatest weight from the extra ordinary courage and self-possession. which she dis played throughout. She identified three of the men as concerned in the robbery —one, Levi Harwood, as having personally attacked her; another, Jones, as having been engaged in the scuffle with Mr. Holiest; and the third, Hiram Smith, as having fired the fatal shot. Under these circumstances an offer is made to confess, and made by the very person to whom the only evidence which was attainable pointed as being the one person exempted from the proclamation—the man who fired the fatal shot. Strange to say, this person was admitted as ap prover—that is as an accomplice who is to receive a pardon if he speak the truth, and whose evidence is only to be believed if corroborated in material points by the testimony of unexceptionable witnesses. What could induce the authorities to consider that Hiram Smith was a witness of truth we cannot imagine, nor from what quarter he was to receive the necessary corroboration, when as to the very matter on which his evidence was required he was contradicted by the only untainted wit ness who could be called. Hiram Smith had of course the strongest interest that man could have to shift the guilt of having fired the fatal shot from himself to Levi Harwood. Life, impunity, and reward, would be the results of success, and death the punishment of failure. He did not come forward like an ordinary approver to detail a crime of which he had been a participator, but rather to exonerate himself and cast upon his accpm plices the principal and prominent guilt in the transac tion. Ile was therefore triply discredited- s -first, as being a person, by his own confession, of infamous cha racter; secondly, as having, from the peculiar circum stances of the case, a strong interest to misrepresent the facts; and thirdly, as being contradicted by the only person, other than the criminals and their victim, who was present on the occasion. Under these circumstances he was admitted an approver, and the authorities thought fit to put forward his testimony as fitting ground for the jury to act upon in a question of life and death. We cannot imagine a more injudicious use of the power of admitting accomplicies to betray the secrets of their companions in crime. Perhaps it may be urged that the admitting an accomplice to give evidence is at all times a most unwelcome and distasteful expedient, only to be resorted to or justified by necessity, and that where that necessity exists such a practice tends to pre vent the perpetration of crime by sowing mutual dis trust among its perpetrators and by preventing their ulti mate impunity. We may grant this—but where was the necessity here? In the first place the approver was, as we have shown, not likely to be believed, nor, indeed, deserving belief from a jury; and, ht the next place, except as to the matter of the fatal shot and the incri mination of Samuel Harwood, he did not carry the case any further than the circumstantial evidence and the direct testimony of Mrs. Holiest. The result has proved that the admitting Hiram Smith as an approver Was unnecessary, for the jury, totally disbelieving him and putting his evidence aside as of no value whatever, has yet found sufficient evidence to convict Harwood and Jones. The judge has not hesitated to sentence them on that evidence, and the Secretary of. State is most properly about to suffer the law to take its course. The admission, therefore, of such a person as .Hiram Smith as an approver, the placing him before a jury as a per son on whose evidence any one in any matter would bo justified in reposing the slightest reliance, is a most de plorable error in itself, and one which in its consequences tends to bring contempt on the administration of justice, and has caused no little risk of defeating its ends alto gether. The jury having convicted Levi Harwood and James Jones, against whom there was other evidence than that of the approver—having acquitted Samuel Harwood, against whom there' was no sufficient evidence without that of the approver—and having distinctly recorded their conviction of the falsehood of the statement which transferred the guilt of firing the shot from himself to Levi Harwood—the embarrassing question naturally arises, what is to be done with the approver? He has given at the trial substantially the same statement as that on the strength of which he was admitted as a witness for the Crown; and on the strength of his evidence he claims impunity and reward. Ho has done all that was expected from him, and if the judge and jury have been less credulous than the authorities who admitted him as a witness, that, he would doubtless urge, is their fault and not his. On the other hand, is it to be tolerated that because a man, in addition to the guilt of robbery and murder—a murder not consisting in construction of law, but as there is too much reason to believe, perpe trated by his own hand—lays upon his soul the (addi tional guilt of perjury, he is therefore to escape the punishment which will overtake his guilty but less criminal accomplices? Surely not. Hiram Smith was admitted as an approver on the condition that he should give true evidence. The falsehood of his statement should have been seen through in the first instance; but because its manifest infirmities were overlooked it is not the less false. He claims the performance of the con tract, his own part of which he has signally failed to perform, and after the addition of perjury to his other crimes he has no right to complain if he were placed in a situation no worse than that which he would have oc cupied had such perjury never been committed. It ap pears to us, therefore, quite fair that he should be left to take his trial upon the same evidence as that which has convicted his accomplices, and we regard this course as the more necessary since, unless it be adopted, it will hardly be possible, without an apparent violation of distributive justice, to inflict upon those accomplices that punishment which the law and the interest of society alike require that they shOuld undergo. It could never be tolerated that persons convicted only as princi pals in the second degree should suffer capital punish ment, while the person whom the same jury undoubtedly would, had they had the opportunity, have convicted of being the actual perpetrator of the crime, should eseseie unscathed. It it a stern necessity which requires society thus to vindicate its outraged rights, hut it is a necessity, and the rule which that necessity prescribes must be ad ministered with no faltering hand.

YOUNG Coutixs, THE JOCKEY.—It is a singular coinci dence that for two years in succession a Goodwood horse Should not only win the Newmarket Handicap, but be very near carrying off the Metropolitan too; and naturally enough, that circumstance, coupled with the quarrel between the trainer and the rider of Cheerful, is exciting a good deal of conversation in sporting circles. Kent, it :caw, has lost the services of his smartest light weight, through some exhibition of temper on the part of his son , and it is much to be regretted that somebody is attacki ng th e unimpeach lh jockey th roug h t h e med i um e Street C a l en d ar.

LON DON, PREPARATION AND BLEACHING OF FLAX. We have had occasion so often to notice the usefu tendency of the scientific discourses at the Royal Poly technic Institution that further comment would be un necessary, but our attention has been specially directed to Mr. John H. Pepper's lecture on " the Preparation and Bleaching of Flex," which afforded much satisfac tion. The lecturer commenced his observations by speaking in the highest terms of the kind philanthropy of Mr. Beale Brown, who had at his own charge lectured at the Polytechnic, for the solo purpose of awakening in the minds of agriculturists a sense of the great value of the culture and growth of flax; that about nine mil lions were paid annually to foreign countries for this article which we might very well raise ourselves.. After a brief description of the preparation of the plant, a section of which might be described by three concentric circles, viz., the epidermis or outer bark, the liher or inner bark wherein the fibre resides) called the heart, and centre circle, composed of woody matter, termed the boon; alter explaining the netting, rotting, or rusting,:the breaking and scutching, and the heckling, the lecturer alluded to the various new chemical plocesses which had been devied to get rid of the troublesome operation of rettiug, and stated that a handsome fortune would re ward the discoverer of a new, complete, and expeditious plan of preparing the flax yarn; but care was required in all chemical processes to prevent the weakenieg or partial destruction of the fibre. All flex contained, how ever, colouring matter, which it was necessary,to:get rid of in the best kind of goods, white and fair linen of course being un absolute requisite of civilised life. Bleach ing agents might be considered under three heads-Ist, Absorptive agents, such as charcoal; 2d, Deoxydising or hydrogen giving agents, as in the preparation of white indigo by protoxide of iron; 3d, Oxydising agents, which were very numerous, and of there chlorine was the most valuable. After alluding to the first and second, which were not used for bleaching fabrics, the lecturer pro ceeded, by a number of experiments, to show the agency of chlorine. This important element was discovered by Scheele in 1774; but it was the celebrated French chemist Berthollet who who first thought of applying it to bleach cloth, and in 1787 Mr. Milne, of Aberdeen, and the celebrated Watt introduced it into the bleach fields of England. In 1798 Mr. Tennant discovered that tees alkaline earths, such as limo or barytes, might be united with chlorine, and serve the saute purpose. From that period chloride of lime has been manufactured on an enormous scale, and is used for bleaching in large quantities. Some flax was now rapidly deprived of colours by chloride of lime, the lecturer explaining that the lecture-table process would be too quick for useful purposed, and rotted or destroyed the flax. Six weeks were u sua lly required, and some idea could be formed of the value of chlorine when it had been stated that as much cloth could be bleached in six weeks on a 100 square yards as was feimerly conducted on 100 'acres in six months. 22 distinct operations were counted by the lecturer as required for bleaching cotton, which only lost one twentieth of its weight, whilst from thirty to forty were necessary for linen goods, and they lost one-third during the processes. Mr. Pepper observed, that the philo sophy of bleaching depended on the evolution of oxygen, and a conclusive experiment was finally shown, in which THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 1O 1851. dry chlorine did not bhach, whilst the damp gas in stztntly removed the colour, the decomposition of Water supplying the oxyg‘m gas.

" Understanding that a ease of lock-jaw or tetanus in a horse has been successfully treated eiy Mr. Amor, cf Bend-etreet, I have thought that an account of a case of lock-jaw in a horse, treated by myself, several years ago, and in which the animal recovered, may not be altcgether uninteresting. "A valuable yearling colt was suddenly seized with lock-jaw. As I was from home, staying at a friend's house in the neighbourhood, my groom immediately dispatched a messenger t o i n f orm me , an d i n t h e me an tune sent for a veterinary surgeon. I arrived a few minutes after the veterinary rargeon, and asked him what treatment ho proposed. He said bleeding, and, if possible, giving calomel and opium: if he could not get anything down the throat,' then to give it injections in the first place of oil and opium. I next asked him if he had seen many instances of tetanus. He answered that he had seen many. • How many had he cured?' None!!' I then told him, as that was the case, I should prefer killing the colt my own way; and I immediately set two men to work, one on each aide, to rub the animal from the head to the tail with a pie ce of flannel steeped in oil, hartshorn, and camphorated spirits, and to make the friction as light and as rapid as possible over the animal. When the men were tired, I put two others to take their places. I had the satisfaction in two hours of finding the animal could turn his head slightly, and that it could separate its teeth about half an inch. This process was continued for several hours, and there was a further improvement. I then ordered some sheep to be brought up, and two to be killed every two or three hours, and their warm skins to be wrapt round the body and neck, and partially over the head. The colt the next day could move about, bend his neck, and drink freely. I continued this treatment for two days, i. e., friction and sheep skins, and at the end of a week a slight stiffeess only in the limbs was observable; but the eyes were still turned up and drawn inwards. The friction was still persevered with for an hour or so each day, and the animal kept warm. The last thing that got quite right was the direction of the eyes. It was nearly five or six weeks before they looked quite natural. The colt got perfectly well; I sold it for a good price, and it won several races afterwards. Its name was Cable, by Sheet Anchor. At the time I pursued this treatment with the colt I was altogether ignorant of the benefit of mesmeric manipulations, though I bad been long aware of the great use of friction and animal heat in cases of strains, rheumatic affections, and swelling of the joints and limbs. "The first time that I witnessed the good effects of animal heat in recent strains was when I was quartered with my regiment in Ireland. A horse I was training sprained the fetlock so severely that it could scarcely put its foot to the ground, and the joint was much swollen. I was recommended by an old man, who had had great experience with horses, to apply a lamb skin hot from an animal recently killed. The effect was al most immediate; the horse very soon appearing free from pain: and with no other applications then fresh skins, and light friction, it was soon quite sound again. The application of a sheep skin, warm from the animal, in cases of strains, or rheumatic affections of the loins and back of a horse, is a very old and common remedy with country fartiers; and I know of none so efficacious. The skin is generally left on until it becomes offensive: but I am convinced, from experiments which I have wit nessed, that the application of fresh skins is far more effective. Of the use of friction every horse owner is aware. Atter severe work, or when the legs are at all swollen, hand-rubbing is the usual and constant prectice of all good grooms; and 1 have often seen herd swel lings removed by the use only of constant friction with the hand.

Should you, Sir, con sider this case worthy of forwarding to the Zoist I shall b 3 very happy. Your obedient servant, " To Dr. E!liotson. G. SOUTU, V. S. "On the 25th Dec., 1850, I was sent for to see a horse that was very ill, and on my arrival I found him suffering with a general spastics rigidity of the muscles; the jaws were completely closed. I had him removed to my Infirmary with the intention of carrying out the new views on the subject; and, if possible, to put him into a comatose or sleepy state. Having had the oppor tunity of seeing the operation of mesmerism in the human subject, and with a satisfactory result, I con cluded that some relief might be given to the horse; and, with the kind assistance of Mr. Amor end a friend, we commenced our operation at 5 o'clock P.m., and con tinued till 12 P.M., and during the latter part of the time he was sleepy, frequently nodding his head, and nearly falling. We made passes with contact from the back of his head to his tail, and down his face. "26th, 8 A Sr. I recommenced my former treatment with the assistance of Mr. Amor and my assistant; we kept at him until 11 P.m. At 6 P.m. I was visited by Dr. Ashburner and Mr. Amor, who kindly assisted in the operation. "27th. Treatment continued to 31st; water well mes merised, and likewise gruel, were frequently offered, but he was unable to partake of the slightest quantity. Jan. Ist. Treatment continued; and cefore leaving him two quarts of water were strongly mesmerised, and drunk by him. " 28. Treatment continued. " 38. Ditto, ditto; symptoms better; not so much rigidity of the muse:es or excitement; and with great difficulty he partook of a little hay. There was thus decided improvement on the 9th day; and from this time he continued to mend. " 4th. Symptoms better; treatment was persevered in, and he steadily improved, so that on the 25th Feb. I sent him home perfectly well. "*, l ` Those who thought Miss Martineau mad for de claring she cured a cow may ponder on these two cases, and begin to remember that cows, horsee, and other brutes, are, like us, flesh and blood, and brain and nerves; and, like us, eat, drink, and feel, and walk, and above all things take physic like ourselves with adven tage.—JoHN ELLICTSON. Dr. Elliotson might have added that in cases of animals the opponents of mesmerism are precluded from repeating the old exploded libels of collusion and imposture, with which they were wont to greet both mesmeriser and mesmerisee, when any mani festation of the curative powers of mes merism took place in the human subject. They cannot treat these horses as they endeavoured to treat poor James Wombwell, who had his leg am putated without feeling it whilst in a state of mes meric sleep, in 1842, and who has been the object of the unceasing persecution of certain parties ever since. They have not scrupled to forge pretended con fessions in his name. The whole history of this dis graceful affair is given in the present number of the Zoist. Colonel Davidson contributes some interest ing illustrations of mesmerism in the native human and brute inhabitants of India, attributing to the stare of the tiger and of the serpent mesmeric effects by which they produce coma in their victims before they seize them ; and Sir Charles Tama relates some curious in stances of spectral, visual, and acoustic illusions. Mr. Lloyd, of Naburn,near York, relates an interesting case of tetanus in a youth successfully treated with mesme rism, from which it appears that this usually fatal disease readily yielded to mesmeric treatment. Among the curiosities of mesmerism may be mentioned the report of Dr. Motherwell, of Melbourne, in Austra ha, of a clairvoyante who traced the whole course of Sir John Franklin. The paper was communicated to Dr. Elliotson, who transmitted it to the Zoist, with a request that only a portion of it should be published at present. The following is the report : "Friday evening, let October, 1850.—A letter writ ten by Sir John Franklin, in 1838, was placed in the hands of a clairvoyance by Dr. Motherwell. She said that she saw the writer in Hobart Town, the place where that letter was written; and upon being requested to trace the writter from thence, she described with com plete accuracy several events in Sir John Franklin's life in the Australian colonies, anti ultimately followed him to England. She then commenced following him upon his expedition to the North Pole: and the lollowing is substantially aed nearly verbatim the account which she gave from time to time of the expedition:— " ' I see the vessel Sir John Franklin is in; there are other vessels with him; they are ell stetting together. I think there are three or tour of them, and they are sailing now: they are passing land just tow which is very high. Shall I follows the vessel Sir J. F. is in, because they are beginning to separate? (Told to fol low the vessel.) I see land now; it is very low, and seems inhabited by natives who are quite astonished and are running down to look. The vessels are beginning to come near each other now, and I see floating in the sea those large white cliffs; they are icebergs.' h . " I forward the whole MS. to th e editors of the Loot, but request that the rest may not be published at pre sent; for it by no means follows that, because those parts of her enunciation which can be at present verified Indeed the case may be, in regard _ are perfectly correct, the remaindetromwuhsattbei: qkunaolwlynstoe. c relianceor rect. inl believeu be correct, cerebral sympathy rather than clairvoyance.

A Court of Directors was also hell at the East India House, when the thanks of the Court were voted una nimously to Mr. John Shepherd (Chairman), and Sir James Weir Hegg, M.P. (Deputy Chairman), for their great appli cation and attention to the affairs of the East India Com pany during the past year. We are requested to contradict, on authority, the statement that " the elder brother of the Bishop of Oxford had been received into the Church of Rome a few days since. "---Herald. • MAGAZINES, &c.--(CONTINUED.) DUBLIN UNIVEItSI I Y. Four articles is the present number arc devoted to the review of works the recent publication of which has ex cited attention in Oh', rending world. Of the gruphic volumes of the gallant Mijor Edwarees it is hapi;ily ob served, "Ail is written in a plain, unpretending, straight forward, military siyle ; by no reu ars di. tieient in either elegsnce or force of diction, aryi perfeenly intelligible in every lice. We are not mystified by affectation, or any exuberant display of Eastern metaphor, phraseology, or nomenclature; there is no studied exhibition of criental glossary indispensable at the ead learning, to render a of every smtence. We meet with no abuse or an y one, no within assumption of exclusive per sonal superiority; but a disposition to do justice to all parties concerned, in a sample narrative of events. The author is evidently of a buoyant , happy, cont eu t e d temperament, and wishes to reader his readers as happy as himself. Young and successful, he looks on the bright side of life's picture, and casts its shadows. All this is wholesome and invigorating, and when we clos e the volumes, so far from being wearied by their perusal, we feel sorry they aro not longer." The republication of the works of the deathless Bunyan, the all but inspired author of the most sublime and beautiful allegory ever penned by man, is admirably noticed; so are Lord Elles • rnere's edition of Anaari's " history of the War of the Sici Han Vespers," and "hoche's Vanities of Literature. On the latter, the delightful and rare work cf the Octogenarian of Cork, we could dwell at length with pleasure, did our limits at present permit it. Sir John Stevenson, whose name will go down to posterity linked with the great lyrist to whose verse ho wedded the exquisite strains of the Green Isle, is commemorated in a well-penned memoir, accompanied by a tall-length etching of the friend and coadjutor of Thomas Moore. " Maurice Tierney" finds himself unexpectedly transported to the banks cf the St. Lawrence. " A Yarn about our Forefathers" opens a most amusing history of a family resident in " the good old times" in the western city of Skibbereen, la superba; and in " Leaves from the Portfolio of a Manager," we have a delightful gossip on the dramatic productions of Joanna Baillie. Jonathan Freke Slingaby is glorious this mouth, in his version of the " Hymn of St. Patrick," " The Lover's Complaint," " Love in Reality," and "The Bachelor's Memories"—the last an exquisite; ballad. In the third mentioned of there lays occurs the following enigmatic. clue to the name of the bard's " Fayre Ladye," and although he states that— " Not one in a thousand that try will make out of it The name of the maid most beloved of his heart," we commit it to the investigation and ingenuity f our readers. He thus propoundeth:— " And now to conclude with a stiffish conundrum— A part of the stern of a boat o'er the wave, Seven hazels whose barren twigs cast no fruit under 'em, Is the name of the fair one who h Ids me a slave." THE FARMERS' Contains a mass of interesting bucolic matter, and is illustrated by two admirably executed engravings, the subject of the first plate being a grey horse, " Lincoln," the property of Mr. Charles Poulton, of Reading, to which was awarded the first prize in class 3 at the meet ing of Royal Agricultural Society of Er,:gland, held at. Exeter in July last year, as the best roadster. The se cond is the portrait of a long-woolled ram, belonging to Mr. W. Game, of Aldesworth, in Gloucestershire, for which the first prize was awarded at the same meeting; and a noble-locking animal he must be, judging from tho picture. THE SPORTSMAN. Peep-ii-day Boy, the winner of the Chester Cap in 1848, figures as the principal emlrelliAment of the pre sent number, engraved by E. H.cker, from a painting by Harry Hall, of Newmarket, and is accompanied by a well-designed engraving by H. Beekwiih, called " The Fox Hunter." Divers appropriate papers fill the pages of this well-conducted periodical, among which may be mentioned a contribution by Lord William Lennox on Captain Rous'a took on the Laws and Prat:tick, et Hors , :. Rtcirg, with a slight natmoir of the gallant author. CATALOGUE OF THE I.TBRARY OF THE INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS. Under the instructions of the council of this increas ing ins:itutior, the secretary, Mr. C. Mangy, has pro duced a catalogue ot the works contained in its library up to the termination of the past year. Considerable pains and trouble must evidently have been bestowed by him in getting up a catalogue of engineering displaying such excellence cf airengement and e,pecial adaptation for reference on subjects connected with Civil Engineering. It is formed on a simple alphabetical system, giving, under the au thor's name, an entire transcript ot the title-page of etch work and tract, the subject entries being made as brief as possible, and the cross references being so multiplied, that scarcely any subject can escape unnoticed. The utmost attention appears to have been paid to collating the titles, and ensuring completeness, accuracy, and the avoidance of clerical errors. The publication of the present catalogue will prove of the utmost service to the institution, as tending to induce a presentation of any scientific and technical works which may be wanting to render the library complete. It is, indeed, highly sea sonable, and creditable both to the character of that ex cellent body and to Mr. Illanby'6 own industry and faculty of lucid classification. COURT CIRCULAR.

Stanley (Secretary). THE FRENCH REFUGEES IN ENGLAND. We have been requested to publish the following letter : " 71, Dean-street, Soho-square, London, April 7. " We, the undersigned French Republicans, refugees resi dent in London, lay before the English people the following declaration : " The expulsion of the Republican exiles from Switzerland on the threats of Russia, Austria, and Prussia is now sought to be accomplished, as regards England, by trickery on the part of these Powers. " But England, who had no idea of such a proceeding, would be in this case ruled by the foreign rowers. " There is a coincidence, however, which is very remark able. At the moment when the Governments of Europe de mand of the British Cabinet that we shall be put out of the pale of humanity, the mercenary journals of the counter revolution in France redouble their accustomed violence against us; and two individuals (for diplomacy a s not e.butl official agents) unite to accuse us of the basest a nd most testable designs. " Who are these two individuals? Ono of them i .a sa s Frenchman, who is not a political telugee, although has not "e assumed that title, and whose coming to this country has assumed to our knowledge been satisfactorily accounted for. Th i s individual, after having made before a police . magistrate various allegations of a most odious chara cter agattstusfia s since, in an official examination made by order of the supe rior authorities, been obliged to deny their truth, which i de nial has been duly recorded in a former report addressed to tee Government. "The other is a native of this country, who has forfeited the confidence of the political party whose cause Le pretends to espouse, and who seeks to recover his lost popularity by exciting among the masses old and nearly forgotten interns.- ' tional hatreds. The antecedents of this individual were, however, so well known to us that not one among us would enter into any communication with him, notwithstanding all the advances lie has made to that effect, which is no doubt our inexpiable crime in his eyes; but the English pub lic will have no difficult in divining that, without our being either assassins or incendiaries, we may be fully justified in r egarding with distrust such a false democrat as Mr. Feargus O'Connor. " We, therefore, declare in the most solemn manner that whosoever attributes to us, the French Republicans, refugees, now residing in London, designs such as those individuals have attributed to us, or in any manner similar to them, is a vile slanderer. " We make this solemn declaration, not' because we dread to be driven from the refuge we have found in this country, for the revolution which has had power in France may re sume that power, and'm so doing exact, perhaps, too large a satisfaction for the wrong of which we should be the victims —an idea which never entered into our minds. " We make this declaration voluntarily, we make it freely, we make it without after-thought, without any fear of me naces; we make it in the name of the eternal principles of brotherhood and concord among nations and peoples—prin ciples for which we now suffer the pains of exile. " We may be calumniated, but the world will never be lieve that men, the very first act of whose advent to power was the destruction of the scaffold—men who accoinp . ii.s o li_,, u , a great revolution without shedding a single drop of r bi so y n u . without committing an act of violence, without ment, and without confiscation—the world will never ibelieve that we arc assassins or incendiaries.

After a few observations from his Lordship on the objects of the meeting, the secre tary read the report, which stated that the society was formed by Mr. Sculley, by whose perseverance, although it had only been established two years, the funds amounted to nine hundred pounds. There were several noblemen and gentlemen contributors to the funds, as well as Om: ' bus proprietors, and it had so far increased in public estim n n e .
