There's nothing new in the sporting world. Business at the Betting Offices is now virtually stopped, and their proprietors evince no inclination to attempt to defeat the "suppression bill." Indeed, all endeavours to that end would fail and be inevitably attended with disgrace. Messrs. Knowles, Maclure, Megson, and Mather have announced their determination to " shut up shop," and return all moneys deposited with them on the Derby, 1854. Others will undoubtedly follow their example, and on the close of the Betting Offices the occupation of many individuals attached to the touting fraternity will be gone. An act of liberality on the part of Mr. Meg son, of King William-street, deserves to be recorded. He discontinued his business during the current week and presented his clerk, Mr. Garton, with the sum of 3001_ to give him a fair start in the race for honourable and profitable employment. The racing prospects for the season '54 loom cheer ingly. New stakes are being established, and active en deavours are being made to confirm and extend the popularity of the old ones. Already several programmes for next season are advertised, and the long list of sub scribers which is appended to the principal events shows that the turf is still a " seductive pastime," and that it has lost neither its popularity nor its patrons. The rumoured retirement of Lord Exeter was unfounded ; he merely disposed of a portion of his stud to make stable- room f or a f resh i mportat i on o f yearl ings, which have already arrived at Newmarket to be trained. The establishm en t o f a G rea t N or th ern Handicap at York is perhaps the most important "movement" con nected with the ensuing season. This stake has already obtained 150 subscrib ers , and its promoters have well founded h o p es o f soon hav ing power to add to the num ber. It will close on the Ist of December. To this stake 3001. will be added by the licensed victuallers of York, who have taken the initiative from their London " brethren of the bar," and followed the example which they so liberally set in founding the Metropolitan Han dicap. The Great Northern Handicap will, perhaps, be a powerful rival to th e Ch ester Cup, whose prestige and popularity, however, it will b e a work of time for the most determined competition to diminish. Messrs. Beeton and Dorling are not inactive. They haveissued their "report" on the s t a t e of the Metropolitan Handicap Fund, which has a surplus of 2861. ls. 2d., to be devoted to next years' bonus. The time of " clos ing" for the Metropolitan has been altered from the Ist of December to the Ist of January. The Shrewsbury Meeting next week will commence on Tuesday and extend to Wednesday, and the supply of sport is likely to be ample. On Monday I will enter into a brief discussion of.the programme. Nov. 12. A FRESH MAN. COWES, ISLE OF TVIGIIT.—Nov. 11. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) A NEW TowN.—Two of the directors of the National Freehold Land Society have been down here this week planning out the Mill Hill estate into streets, &c. There is about 24 acres of land, beautifully situated above the town of Cowes, but within its boundary, and commanding the most extensive, varied, and beautiful sea and land views. At a meeting of the members, at Smith's Read ing-rooms, last night, Mr. Moore, the society's agent, explained that the land would be conveyed in a week or a fortnight at the farthest. He stated that it was in tended to widen the Newport-road to 40 feet, the front age to which was about 500 feet, and to form three streets of the same width to the Mill-field. Each would be about 1,300 feet in length, with two cross streets, one of them to run in a line from the new street through Mr. Eames' field. It was proposed that the houses in the two principal streets should be of the value of 3001. each, and semi-detached, having small gardens in front. In the other streets the houses would be of the value of 150/. The timber on the estate was not to be cut down, but valued to the purchasers of the lots on which it stood. Mill-hill House it was proposed to pull down. As the soil is gravel the roads might be constructed at a cheap rate. The pit from which the gravel was taken might be converted into a reservoir, from which the whole of the houses on the estate might be supplied with spring water. The different suggestions met the unanimous approval of the members present (about 100), and the meeting separated, all beiry , highly pleased with the prospect of speedily becoming freeholders. THE FARMERS PROSPECTS.—Our agricultural friends are in high spirits ; the weather is everything that could be wished for getting in the wheat crop, as also for the sheep and cattle. Prices are high and prospects good. AUSTRALIAN MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 11.- -The next contract mails from the Australian ports to arrive by the East India route will be due at Southampton on the 4th of Decem ber, by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Ripon. The lighter or advanced portion of these mails may be expected to reach London about the 30th inst., via Marseilles. According to the contracts the dates to be brought on this occasion should extend to the 20th of September from Sydney, the 24th from Port Philip, the 27th from Adelaide, and to the 2d of October from• King George's Sound. The new arrangement of the service, wl ereby the steamers conveying these mails will procc e f direct from King George's Sound to Point de Galle, Ceylon, instead of as before by way of Ba tavia to Sirg.tpore, wdl now, for the first time, come into operation, and a considerable time, it is anticipated, mill be economised by the alteration, as, independently of the saving of distance and mileage in making the di; ect run from the Australian continent to catch the home ward packet at Ceylon, the detention at ratavia :s avoide I, and snore favourable winds and navigation secured. The steamer with the homeward India mail should leave Point de Galle, Ceylon, on the 28th of October, and the Australian steamer is due there on the 26th, thus allowing 26 days for the voyage from King George's Sound to Ceylon. Presuming that no deten tions have occurred on the outward voyage, or at the Australian ports, it is supposed that ample time is thus allowed for permittina the requisite junction at Ceylon to be effected, and the mails may in consequence be expected to arrive to their time with something like certainty. It will be recollected that the last Australian mail by the overland route was delayed 12 days at Singapore. The next outward mails will be despatched from Southampton on the 4th of January, by way of Southampton and Singapore. The General Screw Steam Shipping Company have also just announced that their magnificent new iron steam clipper-ship the Crcesus, of 2,500 tons, and 400-horse power (the first of the new line of ships built specially for the Australian service), will be despatched from Southampton on the 10th of January for Port Philip and Sydney, and it is deemed probable that these vessels will make the run in under GO days. If the Crcesus gets away on the day advertised, she will run a race with the overland mail to Australia, and great interest will attach to her performances. RESIGNATION OF THE GOVERNOR OF NEW ZEALAND.— It is now known that the intention of his Excellency the Governor to proceed to England, on leave of absence, for a period of 12 months. Sir George Grey has now been eight years the Governor of this colony, during a period of unexampled difficulty, in which questions of all sorts affecting the well-being and even the very exist tence of the colony were continually arising ; in which he has had not merely to frame a policy and lay the foundation of the future stability and prosperity of the country, but by his prudence and sagacity to repair the disasters occasioned by the grievous errors and misgo vernment of his predecessors, as well as those mischiefs arising out of the folly and misconduct of the New Zea land Company.

ASIATIC CHOLERA IN MARYLE BONE. — Yesterday, at the weekly meeting of the directors and guardians of the poor, held in the Marylebone Workhouse, Dr. Russell in the chair, Mr. Filleter, the senior house-surgeon, called upon the board to grant additional medical assist ance, as it was wholly impossible for him and the two district surgeons to discharge the duties that devolved upon them in consequence of the wide spread of fever and cholera in the district, and especially in the north division. During the week, six deaths from cholera occurred in the infirmary of the workhouse ; and Mr. Sedgwick, surgeon, of the north district, reported that, cholera of a severe Asiatic type bad broken out in De vonshire-place, where, in one house, four of one family had been carried off by that disease. Mr. Sedgwick considered that cholera was engendered in his district by its bad drainage, its open water-closets, and its wholly neglected condition. Mr. Sedgwick called upon the s board to close Nos. 4, 17, and 27, Devonshire-place, l a n being wholly unfit for human beings to live in. his Sedgwick further reported that fever prevailed .a and i n district. Mr. Filleter, after laying his o Sedgwick's report before the board , egged wn of t t h h e em fu t r o . adopt the most energetic measures to arrest ther advance of cholera and fever in the ral guardians having expressed. deep regret were directed of the medical staff, the district vaccinators it edicines, parish a the reportl'ee to attend the out-door medical cases, diaper and fully co-operate with the parocli_ eter ordered the ial - kat officers. the wor They also, under the advice of Mr. Fill khouse to the removal of several children from Margate Infirmary. ,„.•,,r,r MILFORD AND MAIL COMMUNICATION BETWEEN WATERFORD.—The question respecting the re-establish mentetweenHobbs Point of the mail cominunic fullline a gitation, as the time for and Waterford is now in a pproaches. The Water opening the South Wales ford Chamber of Commerce have mooted the advisability of the re -establishing a ng of mail intercourse, and bef ore long it is likely t co mpany will be formed t o carry ou t the undertaking, when trails it is probable th a t the ails' will be carried under contract. By the means of the South Wales line the sea passage to Ireland would be so much shortened that passengers to the south of the sister country would infinitely prefer the shorter sea route from Milford to Waterford than the longer one from Bristol to Cork, or the lengthened journey via Holy head. NOTTINGHAM TRADE.—The lace trade continues with out alteration—being exactly the same as last week with the exception o f' one or two considerable houses who happen to have picked up orders and appear to he tolerably busy, w or ki ng till nine o'clock, whilst the great majority are doing scarcely any business whatever and closing at six. Things, therefore, continue to be very dull ; a grea t many hands are out, and must re main out of employment unless a speedy amendment takes place. There is no branch which is doing well, and the business trausacted has for the most part been in the execution of orders left on hand by German buyers, and for the Australian markets. Hosiery, in the better classes of goods, is brisk, a good deal of busi fleas doing, and extensive orders have been received from the American markets.-11rottineam auOrai"' Pm 18 pm 1091 10; DEFACED COIN. As there appears to be some misunderstanding, and not a little inconvenience, in relation to the object and effect of an act passed in the last session of Parliament against defacing coin, the Lords 1 Commissioners of the Treasury have passed the following minute, with a view of explaining the intent and operation of the act : "My Lords have under their consideration two applications on the subject of receiving and pas s i ag defaced coin : " Write to the applicants respectively, and state that it was not the intention of the Government, in passing the act of the 16 and 17 Victoria, cap. 102, entitled ' An Act to prevent the defacing of the current coin of the realm,' to interpose any difficulty in regard to such coin as may have become defaced by ordinary wear and use, or in relation to persons who, in the ordinary course of business, pay coins which are defaced. " The immediate object of the Government in obtain ing the act was to put a stop to a practice of stamping tie names of persons, firms, &c., upon coins, by way of advertisements or otherwise, and the intention of the Government was to reach by penalties the persons who, in this or in any other wilful or malicious way, injured the coin. And in order that the law should not prove vexatious to those who in the ordinary transac tion of business paid such coins, and ►oho were wholly innocent of the offence of defacing them, or of forcing them into circulation with the intention of promoting the object of such offenders, and not for the purpose only of ordinary payments, the law provides that no one can be prosecuted for passing defaced coin except with the consent of the Attorney-General. " Whilst, therefore, the Government are determined to put an end to such abuses as are herein referred to, and to use the act with vigour to that end, it is neither their wish nor intention to embarrass or interfere with the ordinary and current transactions of business. (Signed) " JAMES WILSON." EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION AND GREAT DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY. Yesterday morning, shortly after eight o'clock, a fire of a very alarming and destructive character, and nearly attended with fatal consequences to several persons, broke out in the premises belonging to Mr. James Reeves, looking-glass and picture-frame manufacturer, situate in Queen-street, Pitfield-street, Hoxton, at the rear of Mr. Ald e rman Lawrence's extensive timber-yard and builders' workshops. At the time of the outbreak Mr. Reeves and three of his children were in their beds asleep. A lad, who was the first to discover the fire, at once raised an alarm, and after repeatedly shouting, Fire," and knocking on the stairs, he succeeded in making his father and the remainder of his family sen sible of their impending danger, but not until the flames had commenced bre a ki ng through the floor of the ground story, which allowed the smoke to ascend in such strong volumes as!to nearly stifle the occupants. By a desperate effort the whole of the parties, however, . effected a safe retreat in their nightclothes. Owing to the exceedingly inflammable nature of the stock i n trail() in the premises the fire travelled with such rapidity that before an en gine had time to arrive the flames had seized upon every room in the premises, - and strong fears were entertained that the premises of Mr. Marshall, patent beer-engine manufacturer, next door, and also the spacious timber yard and carpenters' shops of Mr. Alderman Lawrence would fall victims to the fury of the destructive ele ment. The engines of the parish, London Brigade, and West of England Insurance-office, quickly at tended, and an abundant supply of water having been obtained from the Maill9 of the New River Com pany, not a moment was lost in setting them to work ; but in spite of the most strenuous exertions of the in trepid firemen, the work of devastation continued, and it was several hours before the least impression could be made upon its violence. The firemen, however, kept to their work ; but it was nearly five o'clock in the evening before the fire was wholly subdued, and not until the greater part of Mr. Reeve's stock in trade was destroyed which was piled in the front premises, and a considerable quantity of the property lying between the house and Alderman Lawrence's partially consumed. Fortunately, Mr. Lawrence's premises have not re ceived the least injury. The sufferer was insured for stock in the trade in the Manchester Fire Office, and it is understood that the building was insured either in the Legal and Commercial, or West of England Fire Office. The origin of the disaster is unknown. About one o'clock yesterday morning information was received at the fire-engine stations in town, that a terrible fire was raging in Burcham-street, Bromley (Middlesex). To that point the various engines of the Brigade and West of England started, upon reaching which it was found, from some cause not clearly ascer taided, that a travelling show standing in the open ground had taken fire. From this vehicle the fire ex tended to another show, and finally to a third. The three erections being in a general blaze, the firemen im mediately set to work, and after some time suceeded in extinguishing the fire, but not until the three carriages were either destroyed by fire, or by pulling down. The owner of the property (Mr. D. Allen) was insured in the Pbmnix-office. A man named Holliday was instru mental in rescuing the wife of the proprietor of one of the vehicles. A short time before the last-named fire took place another one happened in the premises of Mr. Blomen thal, cigar importer, wholesale stationer, and litho graphic printer, No. 9, 'Weymouth-place, New Kent road. The discovery was made by one of the female servants, who perceived smoke issuing from a ware• house and counting-house on the ground-flour. She at once gave an alarm, and messengers were sent for the engines. In less than ten minutes the engines of the London Brigade and West of England Office attended, and a plentiful supply of water having been obtained from the Lambeth Company's mains, the fire was sub clued, but not until a (treat amount of property had suffererbeen consumed. The was insured in the Globe Fire Office. THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY IN LIVERPOOL.

THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE NEVER DID RUN SMOOTH. —DESPERATE ATTEMPT OF A YOUNG MAN TO SHOOT HISL OVE R . —On Thursday Henry D obbs, a waiter be longing to Newcastle, a well-dressed respectable look ing young man, was brought up in custody, before the Tynemouth borough magistrates, charged with shooting, with intent to kill, Margaret Musgrove Beaumont, a domestic servant belonging to the 'Commercial Hotel. It seems that Dobbs had an engagement to marry Beaumont, and at her invitation had come down to see her on Sunday. They, however, had had some words, and she had left him in a tiff in the evening, and was shortly after noticed walking with another young man. Dobbs had come to the house afterwards and found her with the stranger. A scene had ensued, and Beaumont had caught the letter out of Dobbs' hand that she had written to him, and had burnt it before his face. He e xasperated, and next morning i l l e a f d t S pu h r ie e l h d a s s v ed er a y pistol, powder, and shot at Newcastle, and had come down to Shields evidently with the object of destroying his faithless lover if she proved shy with him. She had received his visit with disdain, and he had deliberate l y p laced himself about five yards from her, pulleut stoop loaded pistol, and fired it at her. She happened to beng at the time, however, and its deadly charge but grazed the back part a of q l: e la r nt n it e v ck, f and set fire to her cap. She was not otherwise injured. Dobbs was immediately prevented from doing further a nd on being taken into custo ci d ui y et neighbour powder and shot was found on him. He was ° committed for trial. mischief, HORRIBLE MURDER.—The hitherto rr ow ib n le l if t m o u gre rde a r t , hood of Dunster was on Weinesday thr own old, named Cole. committed o b n y a th g e m p a e b rp o e u t t ra l t 2 ion ye. ol ls a 0aItlidT(111 weshdeaq s th a e widow) r ) and She resided with her mother k' situate e d ft brother, a lad about 17. care brother reo out a w l e o n n t ely eettot cottage, Somerset. i t n h t e he gir p l ar a i t sh h o o f m c e u i t n . dwell ingscombe, undernear thDe usanrasteerr,oSofom. the T r h b er e e in ar g by an old woman more than 80 day morning, about 10 o c oc y k e , ar e occupiedt w two a s m aw of a n yo e, un w g h m o, a o n n n Tn am e e s a - Baily in the house with the girl.

The defaulter has had a salary of au least 1201. a year, and yet has been unable to keep• himself straight with his employers from his fondness for intoxicating drinks. PREVENTION OF SHIPWRECK BY BELLS. —In the Southampton Dock there are three patent bell buoys which the Mexican Government have ordered for a part of the coast in the Gulf of Mexico. They are enormous buoys with lar7e bells, and their use is in 'thick and foggy weather, when the buoys cannot be seen. The surging of the waves causes the bells to ring, which giv es information of the locality of the buoys. The apparatus is such also as to answer the purpose of life buoys. where several persons can be sheltered until they are rescued. Their use in enabling ships to enter channels in fogs is invaluable. The under part of the bell b - uoy is boat shaped, only solid, and is admirably formed to roll about in the water to ring the bell that is attached to it. From the upper surface of the buy a circular and tapering palisading is raised several feet in height, in side of which, towards the top, the bell is hung sg its to ring at the slightest movement. all 100 100 100 100 100 100 all 100 20 10 20 35 10 22A all all
