Paws SPEING Manisa. —The running yeaterday
(Basday) was favoured with glorious weather, and the cam-
pea, was more nainerous thee ever. The imperial stand
was occupied by the Empress, Prince Napoleon, the
Prisms Madge, and the Princess Mattulde. The field
within the cords and the road between the bridge of
Bt. Cloud end Barnum were crowded with vehicles, in-
cludinti • number of handsome equipages, the Duke de
Morey s splendid scarlet livery being siospicuous among the
number. The Pottle d'Fami, which, as throwing some light
on the probable result of the great events of the year,
ranks as the Two floured Galatea at Newmarket, was
the chief erect of the day. The Duke de lioroy's Bayard
sad Count de Isgrange's Fills de l'Air, who had just arrived
from England, divided favour pretty equally, has both were
cleverly disposed of by Baron N. de Rothschild's Ba-
resell°, • remarkably handsome brown colt, who ap-
peared yesterday in public for the that time. Mr.
Carter. the Mame of the winner. appeared highly
gratified at this result, and was warmly congratulated in
the enclosure. Another 'vest was tbe Prix &rata, •
condition of which race is that the hones are to be ridden
by French jockeys. This is fortunately the only event of
the kind. After am false start the lot got away in detach-
ments, and then l'holoe, who was making the running.
jumped the cords, sad disappeared somewhere in the direc-
tion of Paris. The wineer was M. Sehickler's Fen-Criieois,
who probably owed his ea ems to being less badly mounted
than tberest rather then to his own merit.7-Galig.aTe.i..

LORD'S CaleKm' GaorNn. —The Prince of Walee
has beaded the sobecriptioo for teeming Lord's Cricket-
ground from the hands of the builder with • doeatioe of
100 guineas. This liberal act was communicated by Lieu-
tenant General Knollys to Hr. R. A. Fitzgerald, the hoe.
secretary of the Marylebone Croke* Club, in a letter
es-
presing the interest of his royal highness in the nattmal
spat. The total sum required to be raised before the lit
of June is 12,5004
SHOCKING AFFAIR NEAR HALIFAX.—On Sunday
afternoon, • woman named Ellen Bottomley, 46 years of
age, and wife of Mr. Joseph Bottomley, nosoo, of Clif too,
sear Halifax, was accidently shot by dauagghter, nodes
the following circomatesore :—The husband
bad just loaded his gun for the of shooting a
rat which be had seen in kis en, but bad laid the
n dons again without using it. About the same time
deceased had been remarking to • friend in the house
bow well her daughter Mary Elizabeth could handle
• gun with cape on. Shortly after this the daughter went
into the room where the gun was placed, brought it into
the kitchen where her mother was seated, and thinking it
was not loaded, but bad • cap on merely, said sonieth log to
her mother in • jocular strain as to the way in which she
need the gun and drew the trigger. The contests of the
gun entered Hrs. Bottornley's head, killing her on the spot.
The horror of the unhappy girl was gnat, sod she con-
tinued in • very depressed state of mind through the
remainder of the day and the following night. An inquest
on the body was held yesterday afterooon, when the jury
returned • verdict of " Accidentally shot."
