we have too much noisy instrumentation Without a proper regard to the importance of melody, and in almost every act we are struck with its glaring similarity with several motives of the operas of Verdi. Peri has no need to imitate Verdi if he will but depend on his-own genius and originality, • of which he has an abundance, as we have seen in his beautiful opera of Guidetta. • The critics of Vittore Pisani have not failed to point out this dangerous vice, in order to guide, him in the new opera which he is now writing for the•ensuing Carnival season. If this new opera will he, as inueh superior to his, Gnitletta, as pi l iditta, i$ to Vittoro Pisani, ,we shall have Dext season ~ at otir Scala a chef d'o3avre that In.ay rank among the beSt works of Rossini, Bel- Doniietti, or Verdi. The greatest gems of this opera are the symphony, the aria of the soprano (Signora Galletti-Gianoli), and the duet for the soprano and baritone; the second act, the eabaletta of the tenor and the finale; the third act, the aria of the soprano, which is a most exquisite and original composition, as is also the' dnet in the same-act between the soprano and tenor. These pieces are nightly applauded, and seem to increase in' favour every time that they are given. The principal parts of this opera were sustained by Signora Galletti-Gianoli, Cristiani Valentini, Ca _tpgni, and Della-Costa, Of whose merit I have already . spoken, ,excepttho stiptatio .rhO is net* td this city, This ,lady is net one of those Wars"' that the rtianaerkhOre of lath years inflicted of the silbsEribers of the Scala, being iiapre &14tecl' for some of the small provincial Oitibs than such a vast arena as this great opera house. Signora Gianoli possesses a' voice of con= siderable power, purity, correct intonation, agility and exquisite style of imparting the most impas sioned feelings and brilliant colouring to every hot she sings. The managers of thiS theatre have every reason to congratulate themselves on their, success, and the subscribers ou their unexz pected good luck in hearing I§ingers of Considera and the Opera executed with such talent , and judgment. The number of operas given up to the present time are only three : Bottesini's L'Assedio di Firenze, Rossini's Guglielme Tell, and Peri's Vittore Pisani. Another new ballet has-been given entitled Zeliska, but not possessing the least possible merit. Last evening we were once. more thrown into all the life, gaiety, and fun of the most brilliant days of the Carnival—illumi nation, fireworks, municipal bands parading the principal streets, the Corso and piazzas crowded Ntith rich and poor, young and old, lame and blind, from the chimney sweeper to the most superla tive and delicate dandy of the city, in .a word, it seemed as if all Milan and his brother had turned out to witness and chat about another of those gay festas got up by the municipality, in honour of the votation and anneXatidt of the Two Sicilits. The only difference betiveeti the illtinlinations , last night, and many of the pretions demonstrations of j oy Oil the.part of the Milanese, was the illu- Mination Of the Duomo, not at the expense of the .riestsi bat out of the funds of- the corporation. 'o give anything like an idea of the wonderful grandeur and enchanting effect of this blaze, of lights, is beyond the power even of the most poetic or eloquent description of the pen; the view of this superb monument of Italian art from the Corso Vittorio. Emmanuele, its gorgeous tracery, richly decorated turrets, and 'majestic lantern, studded with thousands of lights, and reaching the highest point of the needle, 'below the feet of the Virgin; cannot be described;' and must be seen to form anything like a correct notion of the stupendous magnificence of the View. The Milanese have every reason to be proud of their city, if only for their Duomo, and to be excused when, in an exuberance of spirits, they say in their dialect, " Milan l'é la prim. eittaa del mond ;" (Milan is the first city in the world.) The crowds in the streets during the day were greatly increased by it being the anni-: versary of St. Charles, whose tomb is in the Duomo, and opened on the 4th of November to th e public, to pay their devotions to the departed Cardinal Archbishop of their city. The body of th e saint is dressed in the rich pontifical robes of the Roman Church, and enclosed in a case or Coffin of massive rock crystal. The Carolo is gorgeously ornamented with rich decorations, and splendid rilievos in solid silver, the value of Which is estimated at about four millions of francs. The two battalions of the Milanese National Guards, which' had finished their garrison service at AlesSandria and Bologna, very happily returned last evening, finding their city brilliantly illuminated, and were received with hearty cheers from crowds of their fellow citi- Y.ens, that were out enjoying life and lights. In the. beginning of the past week, our Bourse Was exceedingly inanimate, scarcely any busi ness being done, but towards the end the news that the congress at Warsaw. ended Without any results favourable to Austria, and that that Power was determined to observe a defensive attitude, at once inspired general Confidence, which was further increased on th e arrival of the telegyam announcing 'the surrender of Capua. This intelligence created an immediate rise in all the public funds. Sardinian Five per Cents., which at the beginning of the, Week were .without purchasers at 79, went up to 80 for cash and 801, to 801 for account to end. of December, and 81 to end of January.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) NAPLES, Oct. 30, 1860. The programme of the entry of King Victor Emmanuel into Naples has been published. The first thing which the king is to do after his arrival, is to go to the cathedral to receive the benediction. Afterwards he will present a dowry of 300 fr. to each of 100 young women. The fetes will be prolonged for three days. So far as our present statesmen are concerned, their duties are limited to two things, to make and unmake decrees. Industrial and public bodies are stripped of their privileges CIL masse, and in. every direction. The university has been deprived at a single blow of all its members. For example : The immediate dissolution of the Institution of the fine arts has been announced, and M. Coppola, th e Finance Minister, has instituted a commission for the purpose of enquiring into the past conduct of the functionaries. This institution has been reorganised on new bases by an ordinance in Which the following paragraph occurs :—" This Commission will pronounce upon the deprivation Of guilty employes, by indicating their rank, and Will examine who those are amongst the claimants, Who, in consideration of ill-treatment they have Undergone, merit employment, provided they Possess the necessary capacity." • Let me cite also some of the later decrees of • Nt. le Marquis Pallavacini. There is the decree °f the 26th current, which accords pensions of twelve ducats a month to Mariana la Sangiovan tiara, Antonietta Pacearmila, Guvitane, Costanza teprucker, and Pascasella Proto. These ladies, says the granter, have given, " during times of black tyranny, an inimitable example of courage and constancy in the promotion of the Italian a.use." There is next the decree of the 26th, suppressing the aid given in support of poor l iteraires, and another of the same date, assigning 4 4 annual pension of 360 ducats to Grannina Medi, a literary lady in poor circumstances, showing that the pro-dictator must have forgotten t he first decree when he signed the second. But I must stop, or it might be thought that I N' sole object was to ferret out and expose the 'anits and mistakes of the Government. People 4 ere would certainly prefer to discuss details of b attles to the contents of the pro-dictatorial decrees ; but, strange as it may seem, the official J o urnal preserves a most provoking silence on the 4 Grtner. subject. We are told, now and again, that ls a victory has been gained over the Royalists, b ut that is all. 11 10 - Sl;l;ere of the reactionary movements is tending. The inhabitants of Monte Sant' ngelo and of Viesti have taken up arms in 41Nour of Francis 11.

The guard of the mail,-who - happened to arrive on the spot at the time - of the mettle, has-been wounded. Neapolitan columns are marching through the Abruzzi. Proprietors are leaving their houses, which :they imagined they would be allowed to occupy in peace after the passage of the Sardinian army ; and all the provinces in that direction are in the niost deplorable state,—but "hurrah for annexation !"---Is it not already a fait ,accompli ? oveirili ey 1; 1860. A.very moving Seen& Was . ehacted yesterday, opposite the Royal Palace, which had also other wise a very deep signification. At the very moment . whilst the brave Hungarian Colonel Dunyow was undergoing amputation of the leg, the ceremony of blessing the standards of the HUngarian Infantry, and of the Ist Regiment of Hussars, was proceeding under the 'windows of that building. Garibaldi has also again thrown down the gauntlet to Austria. An altar was set up opposite the palace, at which mass was cele brated by Father Giovanni Pantoleo, the Hun garian cavalry and infantry being ranged round four Hungarians bore the two standards with the national colours and the two . sponsors were to he, been Madame Pallavicini; the wife of the Pro-Dietater;* arid iVtdlle. `Teresa Garibaldi, the daughter of the Dictator, but the latter was absent. At the conclusion of mass, the two standards were lowered, and the monk blessed them ; and then the-two commanderS bf the legion, followed by the officers of their respective staffs, took the two standards after M. Pallavicini had tied them with 'd sash, aril afterwards delivered them to holding a standard:in each hand; pronounced the following words'i— I am proud and happy to place in your hands and to confide to your valour these two standards whose counter parts in colour are habituated- to the battlefields of Italian independence. You know how to defend them, , You wholave already shed so much blood for freedom, . and you will bear them in the struggle with Austria until the hour of. victory. _I undertake, when the time shall .; have come, to cause the Italian banner to wave near to yours, for your cause ,is ours, and I, awear to you that I will not forget it. These words *ere received with repeated hurrahs, and cries of " Viva Italian Unity V J "Viva Free. Fiungary P' amidst which the Dic tator retired ; and he was succeeded by General Turr, who proceeded to administer to the troops the usual oath. At the conclusion of the cere- mony there were _loud cries for Garibaldi, who again appeared on the balcony of the palace, evidently deeply agitated, and delivered another address, of a most inflammatory deseriPtion, more so, in fact, than any of his preceding ones, after which he retired, amidst a perfect frenzy of applause. I will conclude with the following account of a characteristic act of daring of two inglish sailor —Some_ little time, ago two sailors belonging to the Renown, who were on shore on leave, had gone to take a walk and a look about them, in the vicinity of Santa-Maria, and they came upon the advanced posts of the Garibaldians just as the Royalists had turned to fly before the former, leaving behind them two small . pieces of cannon dismounted. The Royalists, however, seeing that their pursuers were about to take possession of the guns, faced about for the purpose of defend ing them, and they succeeded in driving back the . . Garibaldians for some little distance. The struggle between the two opposing parties, was 'being con tinued without any result, when the two sailors; who were evidently " a cloth or two in the wind," set off right in front of the line of fire) taking with them some ordinary loose ropes, and almOst before one could look round the guns were safe within the , Garibaldian lines. King Francis 11., on hearing of this fact, im mediately wrote from Gaeta to the English Government, complaining of two English sailors having taken two of his cannon, for the purpose of giving them to the Garibaldians ; and orders were accordingly received by the commander of the English ship to go to Gaeta, and make a suitable apology to the displeased Monarch—that is to say, 'to fire a salute of twenty-one . guns. This order was couched in terms so formal and precise, that the British commander had no alter native but to execute it ; but the eonsequence has been that the sailors of the English fleet have all manifested more decided Garibalilian tenden. cies than ever ; and no sooner are any of them allowed to land in the neighbourhord of Naples; than off they go, at once to St. Ange, and - fight like lions in every engagement that occurs. LATEST NEWS. (BY BRITLSIL.AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) NAPLES. [OFFICIAL.] NAPLES, Nov. 7. King Victor Eminanuel entQred the city at half-past nine this morning. An immense crowd of people assembled notwithstanding the torrents of rain which were falling. Universal joy is manifested. THE COURT - AT GAETA, AND FRENCIT INTERFERENCE. . . A letter' dated Gaeta, Nov. 2, says—By the conduct of the French admiral, - it was.thought that a 'change of policy had occurred among the great Powers altogether favourable to the Bourbon 'cause. The letter states as evidence of this; that .for four successive days the French squadron prevented -the Piedmontese fleet from landing troops on the bank of the Garigliano; the .FrenCh guns were all spotted, the decks. were cleared, everything was ready . for action ; and, indeed, there was a moment when the signal for firing was given on board the Bretagne;: and if +ha Ine7 ; rt:. ,tr.e.,taL, only three minutes, they would have received a broadside from the French fleet. Admiral de Tinan had assured the. King that he would protect the line of the Garigliano, but yesterday a French steamer came in with 'fresh intructions for the admiral, and thereupon the French fleet left the mouth of the Garigliano, and at sunset yesterday *evening returned to Gaeta. The moment he was relieved from the surveillance of the French fleet, Admiral Persano opened a fire against the Neapolitan city. TURIN, Nov. 8. . The Turin journals announce that the investing of Gaeta on the land side continues. The Opinione publishes a proclamation of King Victor Emmanuel to the Neapolitan and Sicilian people.

The Augsburg Gazette says the total number of troops in Venetia is 135,000 men. The infantry comprises 122,000 men, and the cavalry in proportion. The artillery consists of 30 , ' bat teries with a total of 1 80 guns, and 6 batteries with 36 rifled cannon. The largest garrisons are at Venice and Mantua. The sth corps was daily expected in Venetia. The garrison at Mantua is believed to consist 0f,12,000 men. On the right bank of the Po .are 6,000 men. Villa Franca and.

' The conclusions to be dra*n from the latest articles ,in the Canadian papers are similar to those previously suggested. The Toronto Leader, an organ of the Pro 7 vincial Government,' admits that a "tremendous catas trophe" is impending; and describes the probable closing of the road as likely to involve a crisis for the commer cial interests of Canada which it would be "frightful to contemplate." At the same time, it admits that a further advance of money by the government is not to be thought of for a moment. The .Opposition jour nals, on the other hand, assert that the government are only deterred by terror from entering into fresh commitments, and that the threat to stop all traffic on the road is but a device to induce Parliament to sanction some de* schen - ie.' the attenipt, lid*ever, it is added, will "utterly fail," "the line is paying something. more than running expensed, and the proprietors,' soleng as it does that, will not injure themselves by closing it up; It is not'so easy a thing to open a road After it is Once closed, that £12,000,000 should be risked on so absurd 'a proceeding." The crY for an expose of the whole coarse of the undertaking seems Universal, but whenever the discussion comes on in the tegislature it will pro bably be found that, owing to the number of persons im plicated among each political party, there will be a general desire, like that exhibited after Mr. Hudson's break-up •England, to make compromises and check revela tions. Nevertheless, nothing could 'be stronger than the present expressions of a determination to 'have`tbe whole affair sifted. Theseintimations, however, would be serious, if thily *ere less violent. " Swindlers," " knaves," and " desperadoes," are "ePithets . hurled at all concerned, and the circumstances connected with the recent legal proceedings . erdered' . frona this side are denounced by the Hamilton Times as having "an appeaknce of rascality." Apart from this vituperation, the graver statements will to be----first, that the amount and nature of the advanees obtained from the Bank of Tlpper Canada, and the circumstances attending them require to be fully made known ; secondly, that the members of the Ministry mast be forced to give.a clear account of all their recent and prospective measures on the subject; and, lastly, that there is a general impres sion among the Canadian public that if an inquiry is prOperly pushed it will result in disclosures that might compel many prominent political. mid other personages to. retire immediately .from public life. • On the whole, it would be a happy conclusion if .it should appear that justice could be satisfied by a clean sweep of all the par ties-responsible, and that the interests of the innocent investors could then be considered with calmness and generosity.—Times City Article. . .

Viewing the climate as extremely healthy and conducive to long life regarding the s o il a s r i c h an d superior in quality, Considering the cheapness of land, the few liabilities, and the abundance of out resources and the overflow of our nat ura l facilities, we cannot but ask the intending settler to cast a wishful and longing eye at our noble country, and freely invite hint to oiir shdtes.

The correspondents of the English press give the preference to New Brunswick of all the colonies ; and if favourable impressions can be produced from the opinions freely uttered by them, their visit across the Atlantic will be accompanied by much lasting g00d.....L Canadizin Hews. TIIE EARIIIVAKE IN CANADA.—On the morning of the 17th October, about a quarter to six o'clock, an earthquake alarmed the fears of many. ersons in Lower Canada; it was felt in the upper province as far west as Hamilton. The shock, however, was very s li g h t u p here. I myself felt it distinctly, as I happened to be awake at the time, though I did not then connect it with the idea of an earthquake; but when the accounts from Lower Canada reached us, I found the time at which I had felt a shaking of the house to correspond exactly with that at which the earthquake had occurred. In Montreal, Quebec, Three River's; and as far; down the St. Lawrence as Father Point, the shocks were distinctly felt. No serious damage was done anywhere, but the nearest approach to it was on the. river Ouelle, in the county of Kamouraska ; the chimneys of about a dozen houses were thrown down, as also the cross from a church. At Quebec some windows were broken, and although houses were shaken there was only one instance in which a few stones were dis placed from a chimney. In that city, as well as further down the St. Lawrence, the shocks were more sensibly felt on low grounds than on higher elevations. Most persons were sufficiently frightened to deprive Ahem of the ability . of taking any accurate note of time, but the general opinio n seems to b e t h a t th e s h oc k s , which were divided into two or three, occupied about from three . to five minutes. The direction of the movement does not appear to be entirely settled—some thinking that it was from north to south, others that it was from west to.. east. In more than one instance the phenomena were sufficiently alarming to frighten the cattle in the fields, and to set them running about in a regular stamped°. The shocks w ere more severe than any that have been felt in the province during the lifetime of the present generation. In 1660, if we are to believe the old Jesuit narratives, one of the most terrific earthquakes that ever visited any country changed almost the entire flee of Lower Canada. Mountains disappeared, leaving huge chasms behind them ; the courses of rivers were changed, and in some cases interrupted; lakes were formed where high lands had previously stood. This earthquake, the accounts of which—alth oug h there is no doubt it actually occurred--are evidently exaggerated, is . said to have continued at intervals over six mouths, having commenced in February and lasted till August. About forty years ago, shocks of an earthquake, accom panied by a noise resembling the discharge of large artillery, took place north of Oakville, some forty miles west of this city, on what are called the Ridges, a rocky mountainous ridge extending easterly in the direction of Caledon.

LIVERPOOL POLICE •COURT.-THURSDAY (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) CHARGE ADAINST A MARINE SN;RE DEALER,. Detective-officers Redman and Marsden brought up a man, named John Duffy, a person carrying. on the business of a marine store dealer in Mellor-street, Rose- vale, on the following charge. It appeared' that from informatiOn received by the officers, they went on Wed=, -nesday, to the place where the prisoner carried ,on his business, and there got new copper sheeting, brass tap s ,• gas fittings, acid other brass articles ; amounting to nearly thiee .tons weight, and nearly a ton weight of lead . piping and the like, together with copper nails and other property, value over £2O. They .enquired Where, he had got this property, but he could not telL'except that he purChased it from some one whoni he did not know. SubseqUentlY he said he got it from a man named Roche, but-did not know where he lived or What he was. in reply to Mr. Raffles, Redman said there was no entry in the prisoner's books of the purchase of the property. The prisoner offered the officers £5 not to say anything about the matter. Mr. Bluck, for the prisoner, cross examined Redman, who produced the prisoner's book, but there was no entry of the metal in it. Marsden was examined and corroborated the evidence of Redman, and said he got a large quantity of sheet lead, brass taps, nails, gas fittings, &c.,' in a top room, 'concealed under rags, and the prisoner said he got it from "Dick Turpin," but could not tellwho Dick was, or where he lived. Mr. Block addressed the bench, and said the prisoner had not been careful enough in making the entries in his books, but then there was no evidence of any of the property having been stolen. Mr. Raffles : That has to be ascertained. The prisoner was remanded; but allowed out on two sureties of £25 each. tIFIBEZZLEMENT. A young man, named James John Horrocks, was charged with having embezzled several small slims of money belonging , to his employer, Mrs. Woodnorth, window-blind maker, llenshaw , strect. The prisoner received several small sums, but, instead of 'returning the amount to his employer, he appropriated the same to his own use. These facts were proved, and the prisoner, who declined to say anything, was sent for trial. (Before Messrs. PRESTON and CASTELLATN.) SEAMAN'S WAGES. Alexander Peel, late the first mate of the ship.

The proceedings of this committee, recommending the acceptance - of certain tenders for the supply of tarpaulin, twine, canvas, sheet, rivet! and angel iron, larch sleepers for Birkenhead, and for p av i ng 'Regent-road... On the motion of Mr. Brocklebank, the proceedings were confirmed. THE WAREI{O'LISE COMMITTEE. On the motion of Mr. Hubback, the proceedings of this committe were confirmed withostt comment. THE PILOTAGE COMMITTEE. On the motion of Mr. F. Shand the proceedings were confirmed. MASTER PORTERS COMMITTEE. In moving the confirmation of the proceedings of this committee, Mr. Arnold explained that the application of one of the officers for superanuation, which had been referred hack for reconsideration, had been investigated, and it was found that he was entitled to it, and hoped that the recommendation would be approved of. This and other similar recommendations were approved of and the proceedings were confirmed. MARINE COMMITEEE. This committee recommended that the erection of a, pier on George's Landing Stage, for a bell, to meet . the requirethents of fogs. Mr. MONDEL briefly moved the adoption of the pro-. e2edirtqa, he said it was a motion for the consideration of the Works Committee whether a pier should not be erected on the Nova Scotian property. For the present, however, a temporary bell might- he 'erected on the . Landing Stage: They would recollect that the present, bell was given to the board. Mr. Rot, - .)riartArrE reminded the board that the lower the bell Was to the surface of the .tater the more the sound was heard: The proceedings Were confirmed: _ THE RAILWAY COMPANt ANI% THE. roam . . A letter was read from Mr. John Mills, of Bridge-, house, near Halifax, Yorkshire, drawing attention t o thd inconvenience to which he and other carriers, who con veyed their goods by canal into the port of Liverpool, were subjectedhy the London and North-Western Rail , way, fromthe interference of which company the carriers experienced ()Teat injury in the' Manche s ter' ocks. The writer stated that the taibtay company had a large eipi tal,•and he apprehended that if tlaty were allowed to per sist in their present monopolising course; they would by degrees swallow up and destroy the smaller i n t e re s t s of traders. - The reason that the company adopted these proceedings was, to annihilate all competition that might be got up against them. Letters to the same purport were also read from Thaers, Falk= and Co., and the Shropshire Union Canal Company. Mr. BOtnir considered the subject touched on in the letter' of Mr. Mills was a very important one. He triistal.that the board would not allow the interests of any ,railyak edmpany to interfere With those of the carriers. He Considered that the accommodation required by the latter class was not sufficient, and at the present. moment the trade of the port Wit striferiug very much from this cause. There was not a siifficient nitmlict of canal floats adjacent to do the work of the ands': He opined that that hoard should identify the interests of the independent carriers who carried on business on their own foundations with their own, and not allow, any railway company to interfere and thus divert the. trade which would ,be carried into Liverpool to other ports. The. board should not by any means- be squeamish, and pay any particular attention to this conduit or that, but look to its own interests. If they did not adopt one prompt measures art that subject, a time would come - when it,would be found necessary that an independent straightforward Cdtirse' should be pur sued, in order to rescue the trade of the part of Liver pool from the injurious effects Which would be cadged by allowing the railway company to interfere with the carriers. • Mr. SHAND considered that as there was no motion before the bOard no discussion should be allowed 0 take plade on the subject. Mr. F0R146013 stiid it should he in the recollection of the board that the question Whiclt etas mooted in the very appropriate letter of Mr. Mills ifas not a novel one, but had been formerly before the board, and be' thought it was most necessary that some action should he taken in the matter. It was a question of great importance, and under the present, situation of,things he opin e d t h at some d ec id e d and determined measures rt should b e a d op t e d. Nothing could b e more f a i r than; that 'a limiest and reasonable competition should be allowed free action', and to' ftvellitate the carrying out of this object`ample aceoiriniodatioli should be allowed the carriers. The railway companies or their directors should not be allowed to curtail or in any Way injure the comMerce of this port, and it behoved the board to wateh,narro wly over the interests of the trade carried on in the port. It was a most important question, and one which shonld receive the serious attention of the board. The consideration of the questiOn Wag deferred. Mr. C. BUSHELL said he would take the advantage, as he had a right to do,•upon the reading of a letter, to He thought that it'was incon venient an. Observation. to carry out the rule which the chairman had laid down, that there should he no discussion upon a letter re f e rred to a committee. If that was carried out,' how were the public; out of doors to judge of the feeling of that body on tidy . irnyortant question, unless some, expression of feeling was given: He disapproved of the plan. of not allowing discussion. All the letters were referred to the Master D'ortetage Cnnitnittee. .• PARLIAMENTARY NOTICES. Mr. AnNotrn•then moved, that in accordance with the notice given, that the parliamentary notice for the pro posed bill of next session shall include the obtaining Power by such bill for the board " To increase the penalty of the bonds nos required by law to be entered into by master porters and their sureties, and to extend the duties and responsibilities of master porters." Mr. Arnold said that he was afraid that there were many who did net know what the duties of the master was,, but he had for the last few months bad considerable experience, but those who were ignorant, let them be So, and all whp did not require the information, let them eschew all questions on. master porterage. He had not been long in the committee, but he had been chosen as the chair - man, and had brought the motion before the board, in sdppott of the recommendation of the com mittee. Mr. Forwood had told him that he would have to make a speech, and explain the objects, and to do that it wouloi be well that he should be well read up , but he had Aund Aothing to . read upon the subject but' from his,own experience in the present system, he had found it crude, complicated, and discreditable to the Port. What was the remedy to be applied ? He then briefly explained that the present system was in opposi tion to the interests of the shipowner and the under writers. He advocated the appointment by the board of master-porters, and he thought the di&rent systems should be assimilated. Without going into full details, he concluded :by moving the adoption of the resolution. Mr. Sp3A.n. seconded the motion. The resolution was unanimously adopted. Mr. ARNOLD then moved , the second resolution,-- "To appoint surveyors of cargoes and g oods, with . prop'e r au th o rities: to grant certificates for the satisfac tion of shipowners, merchants, underwriters, md others with respect thereto, and to the stowage thereof, and.the nature and extent of the damage •(if any) thereto, and the causes thereof, and to make reasonable ,charges. for the duties so performed." Upon this resolution, Mr. Arnold explained the necessity for carrying it out, and Proceeded to give the various places where, and by whom the surveyors were appointed ; and without speaking in the slightest disrespect of the present u nderwriters, some of whom were members of thatfboard, or of the present surveyors, he said the committee thought that the mode adopted in appointing the surveyors was bad in principle, and it was against that principle that they were contending. With reference to the appoint ment of a traffic manager. he would leave that subject in the hands Vit.. Ilubback, who would deal with it much better than he could. In answer to a• question put by Mr. Segar, - The CHAIRMAN said—By Mr. Arnold's proposition it Was, inot intended to make it compulsory for the ship owners to employ two surveyors appointed by the board. The . board appointed them, and it wonld be for the pub lic to engage them if they pleased. In answer to Mr. Bushell, The CHAIRMAN' said that the surveyors would be appointed by the board, and as none but experienced men would be so employed it would rest with the public whether they were employed. A certificate would be given of their capacity to perform the duties, and if they were employed of course they would be entitled to certain fees. Whether those fees were to be fixed by the board or not would be a matter of detail, if they were - appointed. Mr. BnocKLEBANK. did not clearly understand Mr: Arnold. For his part, he thought that if the board appointed the surveyors, they should be paid by the board. If it was not so, they mi_Tht be getting into a great many difficulties. He wou.id prefer that they should be regular salaried officers of the board. Mr..TourN, - said the question before the board was not as to particular details, but whether or not notices should he ..eiven to Parliament. Before the bill was passed the bill itself would be before the board, and then all the points could be discussed. After some further conversation, • The CHAIRMAN said—As stated by Mr. Tobin, Mr. Arnold•oniy 'asked that certain nec essar y notices should be given. Bat the bill itself would have to be brought up and discussed in detail. At present there was no responsibility whatever cast upon the board. It was quite true that it was asked that the board should give a certificate to the surveyor; but the public could or could not engage such surveyor so a pp ointed, as the y pleaSed. It was not sought to make it compulsory that , such should be the case. The owners could object to receive them on board ; but lie would ask what in a court of law would be thought of a case in which there had been no survey made. He, like Mr. Tobin, thought that before notices were given the board should know what was really meant. Mr. SHAND agreed with Mr. Brocklebank, that if surveyors were appointed by the board, they should be the servants of the board. . Mr. ARNOLD said that he intended to express that the surveyors should be paid by that trust. But all that was asked for was the power to appoint these surveyors. After a few more remarks from various speakers, the resolution was adopted. • •• .Mr. ARNOLD then moved the third and last notice— " To appoint and license persons (commonly called stevedores and Jumpers) to act in loading and dis charging vessels, and to require security for the proper discharge • of their duties, and to fix the rates of re muneration to be paid for the same." He said lie thought that, - in reference to that resolution, there would not be necessary for him would be , no difference' of-opinfo speak ion; and upon it. f ,H, thereore, it e therefore moved its adoption. Mr. Segar seconded the resolution. After :long conversational discussion as to the details of the point, which it was stated would be discussed when the bill was brought up, the resolution was adopted, the last. clause 'referring to the fixing 'of the rates of remuneration to be paid being expunged. THE GOODS ON TUE DOCK QUAYS. The CHAinanAN said the next business before the board was a notice of motion, given by .Mr. Hubback, as follows :—That the Parliamentary notice for the pro posed bill of next session shall include the obtaining power for the.board "To make better provision by such bill against the undue occupation with goods of the dock quays - , by substituting fixed rents for penalties in certain cases, and for defining (if necessary) the duties of traffic managers, to be appointed under the ' Mersey Dock Acts Consolitation Act, 18 . 58,' see. 32." Mr. HurmAeß, in submitting his Motion for the con sideration of the meeting, said that they would probably recollect that the subject of the Dock Quays was one which had occupied; his attention for some time ,past. In 1857 he moved fo r a spec i a l comm i tte e to inquire into this subject. That committee met on the 27th of October in that year, and the majority were in favour of the change, which he suggested, being carried out. But circumstances occurred at the time; and the parliamen tary notices not being given in that form which would enable thein to carry out the recommendations of the sub-committee, the matter was not decided ; at the time. 'HE was well aware that all improvements required some time before the general holy of the community received and entertained them, and gave them that consideration which their importance so imperatively deinanded, and before they lent their adhesion to the suggestions which Were proposetl. But being perfectly satisfied that the peesent . system was bad in principle—it being vexatious, and irregular in its . application,. and unsuited for the purposes to which it was intended to have it applied— he should continue, as long as he occupied a seat at the deliberations of that board, to call . attention to the matter, till he had finally succeeded in bringing about t t o he e ff cl e l c a t n . e ( H w e h a ic r h , h i l e t ar m .) d been so l u ewoul ! l n t g h h en i s aim bri and desire etlydeseribe the present system. By sec..BB in their last bill, alt goods were liable to a fine after they lay forty-eight hours on the deck ; they were also liable to a fine if they lay. one•hour after the cargo had been discharged, and if they could be proved to be an obstruction. There was, however, one article of commerce which enjoyed a benefit and advantage over all other kind of goods, and that was timber. By secs. 104 and 105, in the same Act of Parliament, timber was allowed to remain seventy two hours during the summer months; and the period for carrying it in this . port, according to the regulations •of the Custom-house Offices, did not commence till the sunset of the day after which it was discharged. He had 'no doubt that when that law was framed, the interests of timber Merchants and others of that class were well represented in the Dock Board. (A laugh.) These gentlemen generally took tare of their own interests, and he would be the last man to blame them for doing so. (Hear, hear.) Well, they knew that the first informa liois that a police-officer obtained as regards an obstruc- tion being cansed on the dock quays by the discharged cargo, Wag immediately communicated by that official to his superior, the inspector; that is, when the goods.- were supposed' to have remained beyond the forty-eight hours, after which they were looked upon as an obstruc tion. The information being laid by the coustable; a notice was sent to the consignees, to the effect that the goods had been on the quay beyond the time specified, ang for this infringement of the law they are to be fined ZS, £lO. £2O, or whatever suns the magistrates may inflict Tinos/ them. Every morning, at the police-court- The Csfifsixfs.:4—The flue is limited to £5. Mr. IferinAck continued Every morning" at the police-court they found some forty, or fifty police officers who confirmed the statements Which had been made by him as to the goods beingliable to a fine. The CHAIRAN- explained that the fine wan ss. the hour for every package of g oods. Mr. HUTBACK proceeded in his speech, and remarked that the forty or fifty police officers at the police-court were met by a large number of employA from the variond warehouses and offices along the docks, and, as a matter of course there was a good deal of swearing and counter-swearing. After the i magistrate had heard the whole* qtiestion, he, of course, gave what he con. ! sidefedd. fair and proper decision in the case. He (Mr. IL) need.,seareeTy saV that fines were most irregular in their application. There Was a .great want of confor-' mity and oneness in the decisions, to which he did not object on principle, but he certainly objected to the system which led' to these decisions. He had known instances where the goods had remained beyond the forty-eight hours on the dock quays, and the owners of them had been fined £3 the first day on which the offence had been ,committed,•and the next day the goods were found to be in the same position, but the offending patty having been brought before a different magistrate he fined theni XI. Hence that indifference, as it were, to the result of the application of the fines caused mer chants to seeni careless about escaping the amount levied by the bench. fn, fact, the very uncertainty of punish ment proved a sort of incentive to the crime. He admitted that the present system might act, and did act, very well before the tariff made some years ago, and known by the name of Sir Robert Peel's tariff: A great number of articles which had been previously liable to duty were made free. Previous to the passing of that act, no goods were allowed to be removed from the ship in a larger einattity than the custom-house officers could pass. at now, when the ,great bulk of imp or t e d goo d s were free from duty, and there was no restriction what ever put on ships or their cargoes, the same rule could not be expected to apply. He need not say —as what he was about to state was confirmed and proved by the experience of every day—that it was totally impossible at times to remove gooN in that quick and rapid manner in which they were discharged. Not that he meant, by expressing this much, to throw any difficulty in the way of disthar,ging; on the contrary, he would suggest that every facility . should be given to the shipowner in this respect. He Pelieted that if a shipowner who was true to his own interests adopted this plan, arid saw that his cargo was as •quickly removed as it was discharged, he would be conferring a great advantage on himself as well as on the port in which he traded. On the otherhand he found occasionallt that a large number of . vessels got into berths in this port, and perhaps occupied these berths for twelve or fourteen clays, when, with facility and without any cause of troutile or inconvenience being occasioned to themselves thereby, they could haVe disL charred their load in two or three days. (Hear, hear.) Here, then, was a gross irregularity in the useless occupancy of valuable space, which might, and would, ii(l doubt, be of great use and service to the port at larve. Then, again, with reference to appropriated berths, l 'he asked how the system worked ? Why, it depended and worked entirely on the whim of the consignee. He meant whether the goods were an obstruction or not. He might . certainly'say that they were an obstruction, and then, of course, the fine fell upon himself. - If, on the other hand, the goods were not an obstruction, then they might remain four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine days on the quay. But the fine was the cause why this system was bad. There was an irregularity here which he thought would tend to show itself obviously. The consignee might have goods in a certain position ; he might take them in an appropriated berth, or he might discharge them at any other part of the dock quays where the herth was not appropriated. These statements which had been very fully embodied in a report which was composed by a special committee upon the dock fines some time ago, were already amply discussed; and at the time that report was brought up before the present board the following recommendations were made by the committee,—First, it was condemna tory of theiresent mode of laving informations by the police officers, and in lieu of fines •they suggested the adoption of a fixed penalty rent.; secondly, the com mittee recommended the 'appointment of traffic mana gers, whose duties should be defined to be that they were to exercise some control over the discharge of cargoes, and take precedenee of the master porters, dumpers, and men, and, see that the penalty rent, according to the scale to be decided upon, was enforced and - paid.- Now, he was far from impugning or throw ing any disparagement oil the magistrates, nor had he any intention to enter into that matter at present, as the subject had already occupied the attention of the special committee which he had mentioned nearly four years ago, when that committee broulht up their report. The CHAIRMAN —That report was not passed by this board. Mr. HunnAcK—lt was received by the board. The OTIATRMAN—But it was not passed by the board at all. Mr. HUBBACK proceeded to say that what he proposed as a' remedy to the previous system, which at present existed, would bd simply to carry out, upon these open docks, a system similar to that which existed in the enclosed decks, as far as practicable. And for the infer tion of the board,. he might state that at the Stanley Dock Warehouses during the last year—that is, front June 1859 to the same period in 1860—of the t o t a l ton nage landed there was delivered over the quay nearly th r oe-fourths the total quantity of goods landed (173,070) —there were delivered over the quay 117,058 trim. They had heard of no fines before the act was passed, w hen they were allowed twenty-four hours ; and why so ? Because the consignees knew full well that if they had not removed the goods within the twenty-fout hours, they would not be allowed to do so for ,one month. There was a certainty and uniformity in the application of this measure, and hence the speedy action of the consignees. In the -Albert Wapping Dock the goods were, of course, sonic of them at least, of a valuable and costly character; and of these goods placed in warehouses, the one-third of the total quantity landed was removed over the dock quays. He therefore had no hesitation in saying that if this system were applied to these docks it would remove a great deal of the inconvenience, trouble, and annoyance that at present existed. What he proposed was—but, of course, he could not at this stage go into details, its at the time wh en the billwas brought up the matter could he more fully gone into—that the cargo should be dis charged and d e li vere d b y (Me. set of men, under the 'control of.a master porter, and that master porter should be allowed to keep a book similar to that kept in the enclosed docks, which would show the landing of each vessel, and also exhibit on the Il face ~of it the time at which each package and bale of goods was discharged. This was again to be under the management and control Of the traffic manager, whose duty it would also be to send to the eousignee of the cargo, after hit expiration of a certain time, unless, indeed, the goods ,had been removed within the specified period, a notice to this effect, and also the, amount of the rent for which h e wou ld b e held liable. The adoption of this course of procedure, the speaker opined, would make it an al mos t mora l certainty, that the goods wou ld be removed; unless they were removed, he could, upon the principle referred to, double the rent. (Hear, hear.) . The goods cou ld a l so b e allowed to • rema i n t ill the . l42i s tt vessel was paid. (A l aug h.) li e sa i d that if t h e d; a charged her cargo, an d it cou ld b e remove d within fair and reasonable time, it was emphatically of . the owner of that vessel to pay for the pr . ivil r e e g n c a ir enjoyed in having his cargo so discharged. With threed to the duties of traffic manager, he thought that or four men might do the work of the wholelip ort. rraniate Whether it might be thought desirable to a malgamate of the this office with that performed by other servants the duty . so as to have two duties performed by "e that such a board, as sketched by Mr. Arnold in his lucid statement, so lesn,ast, not for him to say. Again, he thought knew that the estate (the Dock Board estate .

He concluded by submitting his motion. Mr. Forwood seconded the motion. increase ebvestn:teolterit:detsisltachaartl,y, Mr. LOCKETT . coincided with the views expressed by the previous speaker. He did not, however, think the rent quite sufficient, and thought the board had power, if they found an obstruction on the dock; to remove the property at once. Mr. SHAND did not fall in with Mr. Hubback's ', opinions on this subject. He thought that the system as it at present worked, so far as the infliction of the fines was coteerned, was not productive of there evils which some persona would seem to attribute to it. For instance, if a heavy finel7ere inflicted on the Monday for an,obstruction on the quays; it . was very seldom that they had heard of similar complaints being made during the remainder of the week: He did noe flxink that the adoption of the proposed plan would increase or benefit the commerce of the port; and it would be produttire of more confusion than the course which they followed at present. As to what had been stated, that one day the consignees of a vessel were fined a certain sum by one for causing an obstruction, and probably the next day were mulcted in Alight penalty by another magis trate, he would suggest that one magistrate only should. be appointed to hear and adjudicate on questions of this nature, which would prevent the evils complained of by a change of judges, in deciding these cases. He did not, however, feel convinced that he would 'be justified in voting for the motion. Mr. Rankin supported the motion, as did also Mr. Segar. Mr. Tones- opposed it. He thought that Mr. Hub back was labouring under a wrong i"mp o r n es s g ff on erent he stated that different tines were charged when days by the magistrates. They should bear in mind that it formerly was obligatory on the magistrates, who bad no discretionary power whatever in the matter ; but, in accordance with o the wishes of that board, the system was altered, as it was considered a great hardship on parties, and a discretionary power was, therefore, vested in the magistrates. He also objected to Mr. Hubback's motion, on the ground that that motion would arm the traffic manager with too much arbitrary power. It Was of extreme importance, to the shipowner that, after his vessel completed a long voyage, he should have her cargo discharged as quickly as possible and then removed. He considered that. the appointment of the traffic manager would lead to a great deal of abuse. Messrs. Boult, Mondel, Brocklebank, and other gen tlemen spoke in favour of the motion. The CHAIRMAN confessed that he - was sorry that Mr. Ilubba.ck had not brought his motion as two dis tinct motions, and at another time. The report which he had referred to in the commencement of his speech had been issued years ago, but bad never been passed by that board. He thought that the members of the board had been called upon to consider two most important questions within a very short space of time. But the great matter for consideration was, how was it "to be altered? With respect to the appropriation of the money levied from the dock fines, it had been said they had a right to come to that board, and he agreed with Mr. Evans that such should be the fact. Such was the • -case until they had a new Act of Parliament, and ever since that time they went to the borough fund. Mr. Hubback had said that the way the fines were levied was vicious. He (Mr. Turner) did not think the system was bad in principle. The principle was good, for the law laid it down that such fines were to be levied according to the circumstances of the case. With'reference to the observations made by Mr. Brocklebank as to the power being granted for mitigating the penalties below £5, no doubt that was an oversight in the Act of Parliament. He did not think the sug gestion of Mr. Hubback would have the effect of clear ingthe quays. If they charged a rent of £lO or £l2, he did not think it would induce the clearing of the quays, as it would merely a question for the parties. to consider whether it would answer their purpose better to let the goods remain there, at the rent they might have to pay, or to have them removed by paying for the cartage and warehousinc , ; and he thought that the adoption of such a principle, if carried out, would act prejudicial to the trade of the port. He also thought that it would be almost impossible to levy the rates, as 'they would have to employ extra men to ascertain the exact rent due ; and for that purpose it would be abso lutely necessary to have a regular account of rent kept. Therefore, under the circumstances, •he thought it would be very wrong that the notices should be given ; and unless Mr. Hubback could make it clear that the system he proposed could be worked, he could not support the resolution. Then again, as to the appointment of a traffic manager. It was proposed to have distinct traffic managers. For such a man, they must' have one that was quite impar tial. Such a person must have power to give orders, and be over the dock-master and over.the kar bour-master. He concluded by saying that he must vote against the resolution. Mr. - HUBBACK having briefly replied to the several speakers, the board divided, when the moti on was adopted by 15 to 3. The voting was as follows : For Me Motion Messrs. Arnold, Boult, Rankin, Brocklebank, Evans, Farnworth, Forwood, Hubback, Littledale, Lockett, Monde], Rankin, Rounthwaite, Segal., and Smith. .A:gainst—The Chairman, Mr. Tobin, and Mr. Shand. The Board then adjourned. THE COURT. WINDSOR CASTLE, Nov. 7.

Snr,—Would you allow me to suggest that the gen tlemen advertising a company in the _Daily Times as drilling at St. Peter's Schools, Everton, should choose some other title for their corps, and not one that is. likely to Thad astray intending volunteers. In November, 1859, the Everton Artillery and Rifle Corps were established at a public meeting, held at the Collegiate Institute, T. D. Anderson, Esq., the ex-Mayor, and one of the municipal representatives of Everton Ward, in the chair. J. J. Stitt, Esq., another represen tative, was also present, and I think also D. Crosthwaite, Esq. • or if the latter gentleman was not present a t th e meeting, he was a member of the committee formed thereat, and attended several of its meetings. Th e meeting was, in fact, a bona fide Ward meeting; an d i t is only a corps formed in connection with that meeting that has a right to the title of the Everton Ward Corps. The artillery and rifle corps so formed are still in exis tence; they are the 13th Lancashire Artillery, and the third Company of the 15th Lancashire Rifles. The latter company, of which I am a member, numbers front ninety to one hundred men; and, as it is known that we are going to form a second company owing to the number of applicants for enrolment, an advertisement for " The " Everton Ward Company might, as I have before stated, mislead intending volunteers. I, therefore,-trust that while the advertised Everton Ward Company are quite at liberty to raise a company in our locality, if they can, it is but fair that they should leave off using our name.—l am, sir, your constant reader, A MEMBER Of the Everton Ward Company of the 15th Lancashire Rifles. P.S.—To prevent confusion, I may state that our Drilling-place and storehouse is No. 6, Everton-terrace. A WORD TO CONSERVATIVES. TO Tilt EDITOR OF THE DAILY TIMES. think the subject raised by Lord Ingestre's letter, and the comments of the Telegraph thereupon, may be turned to practical benefit to the Conservative cause. I would suggest that the Constitutional Press, metropolitan and provincial, might do good service by calling upon Churchmen and Conservatives to support their own rekigious and political views by buying the papers which oppose Brightite, Dissenting, and so-called . 4 Liberal" notio ns , and also advertising in them. The Conservatives are the real Liberals in this matter, as they, I think, suicidally persist in reading and pnr chasing ministerial prints; but the Whigs, Radicals, and Dissenters are not guilty of supporting Church and State newspapers. Nor do I blame them. In this they are, at any rate, consistent. By buying and advertising in Conservative papers, we should effect a double object. Our - own press would improve, for obvious reasons ; while that of our opponents must decrease in influence and ability. Why not also establish more registration societies, considering what they have alr ea dy e ff ected, and subscribe more liberally to those already formed ? Perhaps my letter to you may be thought worthy of insertion by other Conservative prints. At any rate, I shall have done what I think a duty if I can succeed in directing the attention of abler writers to a matter which seems to me of importance.—Your obedient servant, November 5, 1860.

Topham. Judge : Mr. R. Johnson. Starter :Mr. T. Marshall. SECOND DAY. The attendance at Aintree yesterday was large, consi dering the' season of the year, and exceeded by far that of the previous day. The fields that contested the seve ral races were of an average character, and the quality of the racing all that c ou ld b e wished for. The book makers also mustered in stronger force, but, generally speaking, they again had the worst of it. The Grand Stand was well filled during the races, which commenced with the Scurry Handicap, for two-year-olds, and which brought out eight competitors,—Nutbush, as on the pre vious day, being made a rattling favourite. After a most vexatious delay, but a poor start was made, the favorite, who was piloted by Fordham, having it all her own way, and winning by a brace of lengths. For the Tyro Stakes, four out of the half-dozen youngsters entered appeared at the post. Sister to Aston was made favourite, but she was easily upset by The Duke, who appeared very fresh, winning by two lengths. His sale realised nt to the race fund. The Scramble Handicap was an exciting affair, sixteen animals taking part in the race. Pescatore, scarcely backed for a penny, repeated his Hereford performance by landing his stake cleverly by a length. Topsy had no difficulty in disposing of the lot opposed to him in the Autumn Steeple-chase; and First Lord and IVeatherbound finished the programme by mining a dead heat for the Sefton Handicap, the stakes being divided. Particulars of the sport are as follow: The Scurry Nursery Handicap of 50 scrts. Entrance 2 sm.. Three furlongs. Mr. Cliff's Nutbush, Bst 2lbs (in. 101bs ex.)

Betting :-5 to 4 on Nutbush, 7 to 2 agst Parole, 6 to 1 agst Everlasttng - , 8 to 1 agst Sadie, and 10 to 1 agst Count Horne. The start was delayed for a considerable time, owing to the fractiousness of Parole, and it was not until two of the officials came to Mr. Marshall's assistance that anything like a start was effected. When the lot got away, Nutbush rushed to the front, and maintained the lead to the end, winning cleverly by two lengths.., Parole. was a bad third. The Tyro Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 30 cove added, for ftwo years old.. Colts .Bst . 121bs, fillies and geldings Sst 81bs. Winners 71bs extra. T.Y.C.

Won by two lengths, half a length separating the second and third. The winner was sold for 52 guineas, and realised £34 to the racing fund. The Scramble Handicap of 3 sore each, 1 ft, to ge to the Fund, with 20 sovs added, for all ages. Five furlongs. Mr. Johnson's Pescatore, 3yrs, 6st P.bs (Bottom) 1 Mr. Day's Allegra, 4yrs, 7st 101bs (Fordham) 2 Mr. Poole's Cumberland, 6yrs, 7st 121bs (Smethurst) 3 Mr. Byrn's f. by.Loup-garon—Yafa, 2yrs, sst 71b s...

Snowden), Weasel (Grimshaw), Crosby (Madden), Mist Dunstable (Haracastic), Maid of Lyme (Whiteley), Pliny (Daley), Acco (Adams), and Willoughton (Parsons). • Betting :-5 to 2 and 3 to 1 agst Acco, 7 to 1 each agst Trova , tore and Willoughton, and 10 to 1 agst any other. After seve ral false starts, tie lot got away on pretty equal terms, running close together until coming within the distance, when Pesca tore, pulling ti eanndously, obtained a clear lead, was never afterwards caught, and won a splendid race by a length. The Liverpool Autumn 'Steeple Chase Handicap of 100 :sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, 2 It. About three miles. Mr. Byrn's Topsy, Gyrs, Bst 121bs (W.

Bevill), and Wynnstay (llardman). Betting :-7 to 4 agst Johnny, 3 to 1 agst Athlete, and 6 to 1 each agst Topsy and Norma. Won easily by six lengths. Ath lete and Old Ben Roe pulled up as they approached the chair; and the others did not pass the post. The Sefton Handicap of 5 SOTS. each, 3 ft, with 60 soya added. Mile and a quarter. Mr. Whittaker's First-Lord, 3yrs, 7st Ms, (including Bibs extra) Mr. Sivindell's Weatherbound, syrs, 7st 41bs (including 101bs extra) (Adams) + Capt.

Snowden), Maid of Chesterfield (Whiteley), Horace (Madden), The Prophet (Dunn), The Monk (Midgley), and Remunerator (Mitchell). Betting :-2 to 1 agst Weatherbound, 3 to 1 each agst First Lord and Duneany, and 5 to 1 agst Gibraltar. Maid of Ches terfield jumped off with the lead; but, before a quarter of a mile had been traversed, the lot took closer order, and conti nued so until nearing the distance, when a splendid race home between First LOrd and Weatherbound took place, resulting in a dead heat. Duneany, two lengths off, was third, Gibraltar fourth, and Horace fifth, the others being close up. The stakes were subsequently divided, and First Lord walked over. The races terminated precisely at half-past four. PROGRAMME FOR THIS DAY (FRIDAY). The Great Autumn Cup, value 200 sovs, given by the Lessee, added to a Handicap Sweepstakes of 25 cove each, 10 ft.
