KMSCLERE, Thursday.—Sir Joseph Hawley arrived overnight late. At daybreak the following left the stables, The Palmer, Rosicrucian, Green Sleeve, and Blue Gown were tried on Sydmonton Downs with the following re sult :—The Palmer first, Blue Gown second, Green Sleeve third, and Rosicrucian last. They returno Ito the stables shortly after six o'clock, all sound and well. Soon after seven, Xi, Fakir, Cotytto, Adosinda, Satyr, Sister to Rosicrucian, Pero Gomez, King Cophetua, Sidorolite, and Vagabond went to the Cannon Heath Downs, and all cantered up the hollow with the exception of Cotytto, Side rolite, and Vagabond, who only did walking exercise. Xi, Pero Gomez, King Cophetua, and Sister to Rosi crucian were tried over a mile; Xi, with Wells up, going in rare form. Satyr galloped two miles, being joined iu the last mile and a quarter by Fakir and Adosinda.. Sir Joseph was again present. ALEpsom next week, in tho Pious Stakes, The Palmer will run first or se cond. Woodcote Stakes.—Nyl Gan is -engaged, but will not run. Derby.—We must bo very formidable, 'having such animals as Blue Gown, Green Sleeve, and Rosicrucian engaged. My present opinion is, all three will run, and the best will win, and that easily.• The following animals are under orders: —Xi, The Palmer, Sister to Rosicrucian, Rosicrucian, Blue Gown, and Green Sleeve. The first named three will, I believe, start on Monday, followed by the others on Tuesday. Friday. —A wet, foggy morning, and no horses out up to the time of my despatching this report. STOCKBRIDGL—At Epsom next week we shall no doubt have a great many horses, but Ido not think they will leave till Monday morning. In the Heathcote Plate Athena is engaged, and as she is now in very good form I think she will win. Woodcut° Stakes.—Arbaces has no chance, as he is not yet fixed to run ; but Flower Girl and the Crucifixion filly are well, and cannot be made better. I think whichever they trust will wiu,but I give the preference to Flower Girl Derby. —Lady Elizabeth, The Earl, Athena, Logarithm, Cock of the Walk, Herald, Mr. Briggs, Equerry, Tibieen, and Birdseeker are our lot. Lady Elizabeth has had a thorough preparation, and has not been sick or sorry all the winter. It is impossible for her to be made any better than she is now, and when she is seen on the Downs at Epsom the public will find her a much improved mare. Barring accidents, I assert most positively that she is sure to win. The Earl is well, and also much improved since he ran at Newmarket, but at the same time I do not think he has a ghost of a chance with the mare. Still, I fancy he will run into a place, and is well worth backing for that, as he is a certain starter. NEWMARKET. —The Tom Bowline colt walked on Sun day, Monday, and Tuesday, which is not a general thing for horses, to do so short a time, before the Derby. But ou 'Wednesday, about eleve.n . o' lock, he, in eon:Tani with the Maid.of Masham colt,.'Went on to Joseph Dawsou's private ground, and had two,cauters about a mile each, then came on the tan and galloped stealily. He wore bandages, and certainly did not go so well as I have seen him do. On Thursday morning and again this (Friday) morning he did similar work to that of Wednesday. Had he kept all right I believe Newmarket would have been well represented. Angus, Arran, Lanark, and Innerdale, although all fit, I don't believe either could win with only the saddle on. Pace has loft us, with Harvester, as also has Speculum. Now the last-named is a remark ably sound colt, but, as at Bath, I fear 'he cannot run under the weight of Bst 101 b, although there is no doubt he is the best in the stable. Gouvernail has left England, sound and well, to run in the French Derby on Sun day. He is a great big, slashing horse, sound as a bell, and I think will win that event; if so, your readers can then draw their own conclusions as to his chance for our . own Derby. Of the French lot Nelusko, Rabican, and Ouragan are the only ones at present in England. Rabi can, had he kept sound and well, would have been the best, but time would not allow him to be fully prepared. As to the other two, I consider them out of the hunt. Slanderer I would advise to be backed in a handicap over the T.Y.0., but certainly not for a struggle like this. Head Centre and Talk o' the Hill are not fit. Belphegor goes a great pace, and is very sound, but being one of the roaring school I should think half a mile will suit him best. Ritualist and Spartacus are duffers. Of Baron Rothschild's —Restitution, King Alfred, and Suffolk—strange opinions have been formed at times, but it is, I think, now perfectly clear that Suffolk is the best. He has done, as my reports will show, any quantity of good work, and I think 1 may venture to say has laid on plenty of muscle: Ho will no doubt go to the post, and if only as well on the Derby day as he is this morning, he will be fit to run for a man's life. asLiv.—ln the Derby, Orion, Ironmastor, Milton, Cap a-Pie, Hatchment, Proctor, and Belfast are engaged. They are all well and fit to run, but liatchmeut and Belfast are very moderate, and are sure not to see the post. Cap-a- Pie is a nice colt, and has very much improved lately, and might run, but is not good enough to stand. Proctor is a useful horse, and will pay his way, but has no chanc i here. Milton and Ironmaster are not likely to face the starter, bit if they should go to the post they will have no chance, as the first-named will not ha able to go the pace, and the latter cannot stay the distance. Orion is g oa as well as his best friends can wish. On Tuesday, after cantering, he went a nice steady gallop by himself of about a mile and a half. Wednesday.— He had two cantors of half a mile each, and thou Milton led him a good gallop of a mile and three-quarters, and I never saw him move in better form. Thursday.—He cantered twice, and then galloped a mile and throe-quarters by himself at a steady pace. No horse in training can be iu batter health and condition, and he will be sure to take his own part for the great Surrey prize. Ile might finish in the first three, but I don't think he can quite win, as I fancy he will not be able quite to stay home. EPSOM. —At Epsom on the first day we have Cairo, Plince Paul, Ampleforth, Bonnie Katie, Pearl Mosque, Herennianus, and Vanbrugh in the Heathcoto Plate but neither of them has the remotest ch ance i n suc h com pany. Eons Stakes.—The Faun and Warlike are in, and I prefer the former. Woodeate Stakes. —We shall be re presented by Antias or Electricity, and whichever of the pair runs will be near winning. We have others engaeed, but they are not worth mentioning. Wednesday.—Epsom Town Plate.—Laird of Scotland, Warlike, Frilled Paul, and Lord Derby are our lot. The last-named has been doing plenty of work lately, and he is well in with 6,t olb. Bentinck Plate.—Broach of Promise, Laird of Scotland, Warlike, Relivivus, Professor Anderson, Beatrice Grey, and Shamrock are engaged, but I think one of the tep weights will be found good enough to beat them all. Oaks. —Queen Ebbs, Lady Gloncora, and Aurifera are all we have engaged, and the only certainty about them is that neither of them will see the post. MALTON.—We have four horses engaged in the Derby, viz., Viscount, The Spy, Thoragill, and Betrayal. The Whitewall horse Viscount has undergone ono of the bast preparations I have witnessed for some time. The Spy and Thorsgill have been taking things easy of late, but will render a good account of themselves at soiree future date. Betrayal is turned out of training and getting ready for stud purposes. In the Oaks we have Merry and Wise, Booty, and Thankful. These fillies are all looking and going well, but not having done sufficient work to satisfy me, I am led to believe they will be absentees. FITIELD. —ln the Rous Stakes we have Skipjack en gaged, and he is very fit and well just now, and ought to be near winning with his light weight. Woodcote Stakes —The Overture's dam Ally, Juanita, and Acton are in. Juanita is the best, but your readers must have so lately seen her form that I need say no more of her. Darby— Boanerges and Franchise are our representatives. Boaner ges is well, but useless for such a race as this ; moreover, I don't think he is over sound in his wind. Franchise is exceedingly fit and well, and striding along in good form. MIDDLEHAM.—In the Derby we have Mercury, Tabouret, Donaldbain, Latooka, and the colt by Buccaneer out of Viscountess, and all are doing good work. The latter is a good-looking colt, but 1 think the hard ground has rather affected him, as he goes rather short, and has only done mile and a half work since my last. Donaldbain has a good turn of speed, but I think the Darby course will be too severe for him. Latooka is only moderate, and has, moreover, bad feet. Mercury wont a g. , od mile and a half gallop on Tuesday with Czar, and on Wednesday a good two-mile gallop with Czar and Dean. BEDNESFORD.—Our Derby horse, Guess, has been doing very little. One day he only walked, and several morn ings only cantered with a very light weight ou his back. On Tuesday he came out very late, and his owner was here, and walked with him on the far hills and back to his stable. lie is as well to look at as ever, but some of the talent hero think that all is up with him for the Derby, and lam sorry to say lam of the same opinion. The fol lowing of Cliff's are all right, and doing work: —Melody, Namouna, Wakefield, Master Thomas, filly by Knight of Kars, filly by Ben Webster, Lizzie Hexham, Torch, Pha roab, Verity, Kidderminster, gelding by De Clare, Green horn, Ambition, and Vermicelli. This lot is most likely to be wanted first. We shall have nothing at Epsom but platers, bar Uncas, and I feel certain he can't win. 1 begin to despair about his obtaining a situatiou. STANTON. —Our lot for the Darby are, See Saw, Baton nier, Ruiic, Catton, Balkh colt, and the Ranee colt. '['he last-named has no chance, as he broke down a short time since. The Balkh colt is not fit, having been in training only a short time. Catton is not class good enough for a Derby, and is also deficient of stamina. Rude has done a deal of work, but is wanting in speed, and will stand no chance. Batonnier is a smart horse, and has done plenty of work, having undergone a steady preparation. He be longs to a Capt. Baron, about whom there is some mystery, a report Using in circulation here that ha has been shot. Let this Vas it may, Batounier must be put down as - u doubtful otartor. Neithor dot think the Woe quite PILICIC.... 4d. STAMPED sd. good enough to win a race like this, although he has made See-Saw gallop on more than one occasion. See Saw, the past few days, has been sent along in fine style, and can assure you he has vastly improved in his gallops, and from the amount of work he has been doing lately must be wanted immediately for some sharp tussle. Fie is, however, also in the Grand Prize cf Paris and the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Ascot, and rumour says lie will be reserved for some of these events. LEWES.— For Epsom on the first day we have, in the Woodcote Stakes, Music, but as she has not done any work for some time past, I should think she will nct be sent. Derby.--The only horse from here at all likely to run is ' Samson, and he has had a good steady preparation, but still I think ho is to be made a little better. , Should he be sent he will take his own part, and iu my humble opinion beat a lot of those that have figured iu the betting more frequently. The colt is looking very well indeed, gallops strong, and is very sound. Thursday—Music is in the Two Year Old Stakes, but I think will not run. Friday.—Two Year Old Plate—Of Festive and Soffinka, the first-named has been amiss for some time, and will not run, and Soffinka is not good enough for this company. CuiLiox.—ln' looking over the programme I find that we have nothing engaged at Epsom next week, therefore my report will be very brief this time, as a great many of our horses are at Croydon and Harpenden. I expect most of them will have an easy time of it next week. Those left at home are doing rattling work, v:z. :—Actrea, Virginia Creeper, Clatford; Precocious, Cara, Careful, Prime Minister colt, and the colt by Muscovite. FINDON —Although we have several horses vitro engaged iu thd Derby, there is none with any chance, therefore I consider it is not necessary for Me to do more than name them. They aro the following: —Madrid, Sir David Gain, John Leech, Examiner, and Gilbert Harman. 1 see Prin cipio quoted in the lists at 2,000 to 1, but I beg to inform the unw.ry, to whom such tempting baits are thrown not without success, that Principio is dead, and the odds would have to be considerably 'increased to give him a ghost of a chance ! Heathcoto Plate Cocoa Nut is engaged, and she is rather a. nice kind of mare, and must not be over looked. litcliNtom—Lord Ronald has already left hero for Ep som, where he is going to test the abilities of some two year olds. For all that, he will run in the lions Stakes on Tuesday, for which he will run well, as he has done capi tally of late. In the Derby we have Chelsea, Buttercup, Diomedia colt, Entremet colt, Viridior, and The Sawyer. Of this lot not one will leave Richmond for Epsom with out it be the Sawyer, and at the time of penning these re marks I have nut heard finally whether ho goes, as his owner has been here to see him, and is now at Belleisla. Sawyer, though on a small scale, is very neat and compact, possessing great power, and is a beautiful mover. He has a most uncertain temper, however, and is a bad starter, though, should he get well away with his horses, The Sawyer will run respectably ; still, I have not the slightest expectation of his winning. LAMBOURNE.-Mr. Merry was down here on Wednes day, and several trials took place. In the first the St. Albans colt was first; Miss Hayes, second ; Crocus, third; Stockwell colt, fourth. In the second, Disguise was first ; Morgan La Faye filly, second; Lady Lurewell filly, third; and Clothilde filly, fourth. Then Miss Croft and North Briton had a rough up, and Miss Croft got the best of it. In getting this information, at the same time not infringing upon pi ivate rights, I was attacked on the high road by a couple of Russley "Fenian.s" armed with heavy sticks, and fol lowed by an immense bull-dog. Although unarmed my self, the dastards fell upon me, and one of them striking me across the loins, nearly knocked me silly, and when they saw a pal of mine coming up the cowardly wretches decamped, bulldog and all! You may be sure I let 'em have it as well as I could. We have Liddington in the Heathcoto Plate, but his running at Bath seems to put him out of court. Woodcoto Stakes.—We have Defender, Black Jimmy, North Briton, Plenipotentiary, and the colt by Stockwell out of Catherine Hayes, and I shall be very much deceived if the Stockwell does not run a great horse.

Shields Swansea Waterford Westport Wexford Weymouth Yarmouth MINING INTELLIGENCE. The Silver Bend Reporter says :—" Professor Vincent, while here a few weeks since for the pur pose of examining and reporting upon the mines of the Belmont Company in the interest of London capitalists, selected about a ton of ore from the dump of the Transylvania for the purpose of test ing its yield by a perfect process of working. We learn by the Reveille that the ore was reduced at the Keystone mill, and gave a pulp assay of $392 of sil ver per ton. The lot of ore was not closely assorted, though it is not pretended that it is an average of the ledge." Alluding to the South, it remarks, — "that the bottom of the incline, 130 ft. from the surface, a level has been run south along the lode. This is now completed a distance of 30 ft., and dis closes an excellent quality of ore all the way, but at the extremity just reached, it exceeds anything yet found in the mine, and shows a large body of as rich ore as has ever been raised from any mine in this section. Upon this mine there has recently been discovered a splendid body of chloride ore upon the :main surface, about 200 ft. from the main incline." The correspondent of the Wall- Street Journal writes from Austin, 30th April : The Stetefeldt Furnace does not seem to be very generally sought after by mill men as yet; in fact, it is seldom spoken of except by a certain few. Tne Manhattan Company received their new shaft, which has been placed in position, and the mill is once more doing good work. The Combination Mill sends iu bricks regularly, but it is said by the em ployes that many improvements must be made before it can be considered a success. Belmont Company's Mill is also mining and producing fair returns. The EldJrado South is now supplying the mill with ore. Tuffs company has attained the depth of 135 feet, and is now running levels to connect with another incline to secure pure air. I presume this property will belong to English capital before my next, and will- be worked vigor ously and systematically. Knickerbocker Mill of lone sends in a few bars occasionally, but the mines in that vicinity are not being pushed ahead with any considerable energy. The greatest enterprise is shown by the Hamilton Company, not in mining exactly, but in the sale of handsome bands. I see by the Court proceedings that a judgment has been obtained against the Old Dominion Company at Hot Creek for a very small amount. This pro bably will be the first of a series which will end by a new company taking the property. Our shipment for March was a little .over $200,000, and will in crease nearly every month during the year. The Keystone Mill was totally destroyed by fire April 6. It was situated a mile and a half from Austin, and insured for $65,000, of which $35,000 falls on a London company. General Page, the manager, was present shortly after the fire broke out, but was unable, notwithstanding the efforts of a hundred men, to heck the flames. A. very rich lode has been discovered in the dis trict of White Pine, which has not inaptly been named the Hidden Treasure. It is represented to be from 15 feet to 25 feet wide, and containin g la stratum 5 feet thick of singular looking but very rich ore. The unlikely stuff baffled the experience and judgment of all the miners on the ground, who saw no reason for believing that it contained even a trace of silver. Samples of the ore were brought to this city and assayed in different offices, and the results ranged from $675 to $2,700 and $2,300 per ton. rADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.— T hese highly-esteemed medicaments cannot betoo strongly recommended for curing most of the maladies to which humanity is heir. They aro as suitable for the child first entering on the journey of life as for aged and infirm. The ointment is a specific for the cuts, bruises, abrasions, and eruptions often witnessed in the nursery ; and it is no less efficient in healing up soundly and permanently the chronic ulcers and bad legs which so often heap up misery on ad vanced years. By an early attention to the instructions wrapped round each packet of ointment and pills any mo derately intelligent person may abridge or avert the dis comfort and misery of chronic ill-health.

The Dublin correspondent of the Herald, writing on Friday, says :—" One of the members of the recent Livingstone Search Expedition, Captain Faulkner, has or ganised a private expedition for the purpose of exploring Lake Nyassa to the northward, and surveying its eastern shore, hitherto unexplored. Captain Faulkner first con ceived this idea in September last, when, with the other members of the expedition to which he was then attached, he sailed out of the lake, casting many a longing, lingering look behind upon the beautiful expanse of water only a few miles of which had been traversed by the party. He then formed the resolution of returning as soon as possible, gra tifying his curiosity, and at the same time enlarging the domain of geographical research. Captain Faulkner has asso ciated with him in his interesting, though perilous enter- Frig°, four gallant Irishmen —Captain Norman, late of the 60th Regiment; Captain Gubbins, late of the 54th Regiment, an ardenshekarry, whose death-dealing rifle has ~ften awed the echoes of the woods of Ceylon ; Captain Casemet, late of the 14th Regiment ; and Mr. Perrin, an engineer. The adventurous party have had constructed for the purposes of their expedition a small iron screw steamer, 50 feet long, si , deep, and 11i broad. This little craft, which they aptly call the Faugh-a-ballagh, was launched yesterday from the yard of her builders, Messrs. Walpole, Webb, and Bewley. She is composed of 75 sections,put together with 8,000 screws, so that she can be taken to pieces and carried past the numerous rapids, cataracts, and shallows that are to be met with in the rivers Shire and Zambesi. The party intend to sail from Southampton on the 9th of next mouth, for Natal, whence they will proceed by steamer to the mouth of the Zambesi, where the expedition will in reality commence. They will then pursue the same course to Lake Nyassa as that followed by the Livingstone Search Expedition. Having reached the lake, they will make a careful survey of it, and determine its exact boundary to the northward. They think it not unlikely that they may fall in with Livingstone, should he have given up the idea of coming down the Nile. The enterprise has excited great enthusiasm in Dublin, as all the members are Irishman. Captain Faulkner is a native of the county Wicklow, aryl all the equipments of the expedition are of Irish man facture. The arms and ammunition are supplied by the well-known Rigby, while the equally indispensable stocks of beads, trinkets, mirrors, and other articles for barter with the natives have been collected from the stores of the Messrs. Walpole, of this city." THE MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT NEA CHRISTCHURCH. Happily, the task is rare of reporting so sad and deplo: rable an accident as that which occurred at Mudeford on Wednesday afternoon. On that day seven young pupils of the Rev. Joseph Fletcher, Congregational minister, of Christchurch, went out to bathe, with one or two other students at the same establishment, and re• turned no more alive. It appears that the whole of Mr. Fletcher's pupils, eleven in number, accompanied by the German tutor, Herr Frederick Geyer, and the French tutor, M. G uesdon, left the rev, gentleman's house, chiefly for the purpose of having a bathe off the beach at Mude ford, but three of the pupils and M. Guesdon went for walk to Winkton instead. The remaining nine, includ ing Mr. Geyer, proceeded to bathe off the beach on the eastern side of the old steamer, and opposite Highelill Castle. The names of the eight boys were Joseph Ne,,. some Milne ; Henry Atlee Pewtress, aged 15, and ?its brother, Arthur Howard Pewtress, aged 11, whose parents reside in London ; Leonard Moser, aged 13, and Horace Moser, aged 12, sons of Frederick Moser, Esq., of Carberry, Bournemouth ; George Frederick Johnson, aged 13, of Croy. don ; James Atlee Hunt, aged 13, son of Mr. Hunt, house. agent, Southampton, late manager of the English Joint- Stock Bank, Christchurch ; and William Robert Smith, son of Mr. Smith, of the firm of Smith, Pumstead, and Trippe, drapers, Southampton. Of these, all except the first-mentioned boy, Joseph Newsome Milne, were drowned. Passing along Mudeford Beach for some distance toward the cast, one arrives at Highcliffe, and at this point the waters of the joint rivers Stour and Avon empty themselves into the sea. The place selected by the bathers was a little beyond the rivers' mouth, just -off the bar, or bank of sand, and about one mile distant from Mudeford proper. At the time of the boys' bathing, between three and half-past three p.m., the tide was turning. The bathers, who, excepting Mr. Geyer, the tutor, could not swim, were in fancied security on a shifting sand, when a heavy wave came upon them and carried them into deep water between the sand and the beach. The place was one which the bathers had been in the habit of using frequently and with apparent safety, but the treacherous condition of the sand shewed itself too clearly on Wednesday afternoon, when the eight boys were suddenly swept into deep water, and seven were drowned. Milne fortunately succeeded in regaining the shore. " The wave," he says, " came and put us into deep water all at once. It put me out of my depth ; I saw the wave coming in; it carried me forward towards the shore, taking me off my feet. As the wave left me I was able to walk, and walked out. The moment before the wave came to me I saw some of the others put ip their hands, and one called for help. When I got out [ saw nothing of them." These few simple words give, we think, a tolerably clear explanation of the dreadful ac. eident. Milne, as will be seen from his evidence given at the inquest, was, Ile supposed, about fifty paces nearer Mudeford than the others, and consequently, when the wave came that sent the other boys to instant death, Milne, being in the safer position, was washed ashore, whilst there was nothing to save his companions. Mr. Geyer did indeed exert himself to the utmost, as his evi dence shows, but he was unable to save more than his own life. He was swimming, and heard a cry of distress. Looking round, he saw the hands of one of the boys thrown up, and he swam to his assistance. Mr. Geyer tried to save the boy, but it was impossible for him to do so. He was exhausted by swimming, and the boy, terrified at the prospect of drowning, clung round his tutor's arms with such tenacity as to disable the swimmer for the moment, and bear him under the water. The boy, however, relinquished his hold and perished, and Mr. Geyer then swain ashore. The dead bodies of the seven boys above mentioned were afterwards washed ashore, and were con veyed to the Sandford Hotel. Mr. Watmough, surgeon, was in attendance as soon as the news of the accident reached Christchurch, but his services were of no avail, as life was in each case extinct. An inquest was held on the bodies on Thursday morning, when the jury returnee a verdict of accidentally drowned, and wished to add a recommendation that a board should be placed on the beach at dangerous places, to warn the public. The Coroner, however, decided that such a recommendation could not be received, as the subject was beyond the pro vince of the jury. The Attorney-General for Ireland having refused to fiat the writ of error sought by Mr. Pigott, one of the press prisoners, Mr. Butt, Q.C., has applied to the Lord Chancellor to affix the Great Seal to it. The Lord Chancellor ordered the Crown to receive notice of the application. THE LATE VOLUNTEER ',REVIEW.—When' the whole of the claims on the Portsmouth R eview Committee have been liquidated there will remain a balance. o . f up. wards of £lOO in hand ; and, as it is the gener al opimon of the committee that Portsmouth will be selected next year, it was resolved that the balance should be a ppropriated as the nucleus of a fund neces sar y to entertain the volunteers on their return visit. VOLUNTEER REVIEW IN WINDSOR PARK.—In addition to the review of Berkshire volunteers to be held at Windsor on W hit -Monday, there will be a far more extensive display at a later period. In connection with this event th e following notice has been issued from the War Office :—" Her Majesty having signified her intent. tion of holding a review of volunteers in 'Windsor Park towards the end of June next, the Secretary of State for War is prepared to receive applications from corps desi. Cons of attending this review." Speaking at a Romish chapel consecration in Dover, Dr. Manning aagured that "a brighter day wax dawning for the Holy Church." There were "signs of de. composition, disintegration, and decay" in the Protestant Church. Such a change, he opined, '• was not of life, but of death." In contrast with the " dissolution" of the National Church, Archbishop Manning likened the Roman Catholic Church to an acorn, which, by slow degrees, under the lapse of time, grows into a stately oak full of symmetry and-splendour. -- • .
