A NOVEL SAILING MATCH.

Something of a novel character has at length
been presented to the public in the shape of • match with
sailing barges. Some time ago Mr. Harry Dodd. the well-
knows contractor, proposed that a match of the kind should
take place, and that gentleman having generously offered
201. for competition, it was deemed advisable to ems regu-
lations and notices so that barge-masters and owners should
become acquainted with the match, and Mr. Grant, of the
Harp, Harp-lane, Toweretreat, having kindly volunteered
to receive further subscriptions, it was determined by the
sailing committee of the Prince of Wales Yacht Club (under
whose direction the affair was placed) that the entries
should close on Tuesday, the 18th August, for bargee of
from 50 to 100 tom. The following barges were then entered:

leave the distance buoy oa the port hand, and the wittz

might have been eructed, and the race was conducted by
Mr. Musingbam, the treasurer of the match, under whose
direction the first gnu was flied at 1.43 to prepare,
and the sowed, to mart, at 1.50. Your of the boats
canted to leeward and four to windward (the Lreiooris

round very smartly, end soon began to show their mettle.
The Queen led by 20 or 30 yards is about a quarter •of •

the Emma being third. The W. H. D. was, however,
again posed by the Quest Caroline, but soon after west into
Ant place again. In the upper part of the Hope

had from the beginning been very bad. Squalls from

sod this order of things continued to the Chapman Head,
where the W. H. I). led by two miles the James, Claude,
and Mary, altogether wide of one another. The Claud*,
however, soon left the others, and the barges not being able

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE

John Mears, a 000ductor of one of the Champion-hill
omnibuses, appeared bloc Sir Robert Cardeo, sho was
sitting yesterday for the Lord Mayor, in answer to a earn.
mons taken out against bin. by • gentleman name George
Baas Jackson. charging him with haring refused to admit
sad carry in his omnibus a lawful Lam there being at that
time room in the omnibus.

Th. defendant said he wu guilty of refusing to take the
complainant.
lir. Jackson stated that on the afternoon in question, in
consequence of its coming on to rain, he was going to get is
to the defendant's omnibus with two ladies who were with
him. At that time there were three poisenera inside the
vehicle, but when he asked the defendant to open the door,
he refused to do so, and told him to get into an omnibus
that woe behind. Re did not feel inclined to do so at first,
and in the meantime other passeogers—gentlemen--were
admitted into the omnibus, the ladies being pushed aside.
There was still room for them ; but the defendant said the
seats were engaged, and he was finally obliged to get into
the other omnibus.
. .

~Ths defendant
said six gentlemen got in before the
complainant asked him to oven the door and at that time
there were only three seats amide, two of which he reserved
for two gentlemen who rode regularly by the omnibus
every evening, and the complainant bad two ladies with
him, so that there was not room for them all. He told the
complaisant the omnibus which was babied would draw is
front of his as soon so there was room, and would leave Ike
minutes beta* he did.

RoiarCesTrcle-esaid the defeodant's was a public con-
veyance, sad he ought to take any 'massagers who preseoted
themselves, and not to dictate to them, as it appeared to
him he had dose, which omnibus they were to ride in.
The defeodaot said the omnibus into which he told the
cocoplainsat to get was to start before his did, sod the time
keeper had told ►im he ought not to take passengers before
it wee time to start, or while t Peckham omnibus was wait-

GUILDHALL.

In disposing of • number of summon= sgainat drivers of
omnibuses and others, for infringing the new regulations
coder the act of parliament for preventing obstruction in the
City streets, Alderman Wilson expressed his gratification at
the great diminution in the numbers summoned as compared
with those of the two previous weeks. A still greater im-
provement VOA however required. He understood that., as
every omnibus driver and conductor contributed ed. each to
a common fund to meet these uses, they made a laugh and
a joke of the floes ; but he wished them to clearly under-
stand for the future the fine fur the first offence would be
is., the second 104., the third 21/4., and upon conviction for
• fourth offices the magistrates would impound the bosses
with • view to its entire suspensiou. Al to rolling and
touting cabmen, the nuisance was so great all round the
Bank and Royal Exchange, that in future all cabs setting
down in the Olty would be required to repair direct to • ab
stand, and any driver turning round to the impediment of
the traffic without • fare would be summoned for cueing
obstruction, and be treated accordingly.

hopeless anxiety—must it not be that such a popn-
Wien should be gradually sinking to that level
of health at which any epidemic disease finds
numerous and easy victims 1 I sincerely hope that
I may be mistaken, but I cannot refrain from
uttering a warning voice. With few and partial
exceptions, Ido not believe that the rate of relief
has ever been too high, while all through the past
.urumer it has been reduced to such a sum as suf-
iced for the bare maintenance of the people. But
when winter oomes this will not be enough. Every
month which rolls away since the beginning of the
distress makes it harder to bear ; the poor will meet
the snows of this November with a weaker frame
and a sadder heart than when our trouble was so
much greater a year ago. Even in the interests of
Axial morality there may be such a thing as false
conomy, and the duties of relief boards are not
:xhausted in merely keeping the people alive.

WATER COLOUR PAINTERS' LANCASHIRE

RNIJNF FUND.

Gallery, 53, Pall-mall, October 28.
Sla,—We have the honour to inform you that
the committee of this fund have brought their
Tours to s termination by the distribution of the
collection, consisting of 323 pictures, amongst the
shareholders. The sum the committee were enabled
to raise very inadequately represented the value of
the works so generously placed at their disposal for
the purpose, the estimated value of the collection
being 4,soogwneas, whereas the subscriptions barely
exceeded half that amount.

This, although a great advantage to those who had
xlcen shares, was • sad loos to the charity, and a
.erious disappointment to the committee. Had the

Guildhall, Doncaster; the Hight Hon. Jour: Peanut in the
chair.

various bills that this company had promoted in the present

Company do reference to the hoe from Bull to Doncader
were must satiatiotary. The Trawler Bill, to par this onm-
Deny over to the Maliebester, Sheffield, and Liocolosbire
Railway, had not, as he had anticipated it would, passed last
session. The committee to whom the hill was assigned had
found that the preamble was proved, but in consequence of
their insisting upon a modification of the rates, which would
have had the effect of depriving the compaoy of the cus-
tomary terminal charges upon opal, the two companies ;too-
sidered it advisable to withdraw the bill, which, however,
with the consent of the shareholders of both commons*,
would be renewed next year. The chairman concluded by
proposing that the report be taken as read, and adopted.

proposition, which *as agreed to.

Therms and Sheffield Act, 1862 ; the Treat, ANL:holm*, and

Bavaria will reply.
There will be no sitting to-morrow on account of
the Emperor's birthday. Time will therefore be
afforded to the sovereigns to examine the Austrian
project with their ministers before deciding upon
its merits.

According to the Europa, Prince Richard Met-
ternich, Count Appony, and other Austrian diplo-
matists, have come to Frankfurt to discuss Euro-
pean questions, notably the affairs of Poland and
the German difference with Denmark.

Lord Clarendon, Earl Granville, and the Duke

peror, and paid frequent visits to the different
princes and German ministers.
It is believed the Emperor will remain another

At the banquet to the German princes yesterday

a toast " the Princes and Free Towns of German)."
The Emperor of Austria replied in the following
terms :

" I take this opportunity of thanking the Senate
and citizens, in the name of the princes assembled,
for the hospitable reception extended to us. I
think we cannot display our gratitude to patrioti-
cally disposed citizens in a more worthy manner
than by testifying, as princes, that we are all united
in hearty love to our common Fatherland. We are
all further united in best wishes for this memor-
able town. The illustrious guests will joyfully
drink with me toFranktort's welfare and prosperity.
May Frankfort prosper !"

GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN OF

At the half-yearly meeting of nth' company, held
on Saturday,

The Ctistimis, in moving the adoption of the report and
idatement of accounts, said that although be bad told
them at the last half-yearly meeting, without tiny reserve
whatever, that it would be impossible to continue to pay
the usual dividend, at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum,
without a large increase in their revenue, or adimioution
of their expenditure, neither of which he them th.otglit
would take place, and although lie knew that at no
Newer period hail the directois attended more carefully
to the duties Ni. shareholders imposed on them, or
evinced greater anxiety to curtail egreuditure in (leery
possible way consistent with the efficiency by which that
railway bail always been characterised, and by which he
hoped it always would be charaetirmed, yet he hit that
Lis position there that day, as chairman of that meeting
would be lunch more agreeable if he could have asked their
went to a more favourable report than the one which the
directors now presented to them. There were, how-
ever, DO just grounds for disappointment or diecourage-
meet. He Mid shown them at a former meeting that
although occasionally they bad periods of depression in
the country, arising from deficiencies in their harvests,
yet that, on the whole, for &series or years, Ireland bad been
stearitly progressive in material prosperity. They had just
passed through a period of depression m consequence of
three bed harvests. The expenditure on capital account
had been moderate, and no more than was requisite. The
balance available for dividend was only 80,000 f. against
94,01101. fur the correspooding period. There had been a
decrease in the passenger and goods traffic, but they had
bad no diminution in their puimiger traffic until the first
month in 1852 although the country bad been aufferiog for
the two preceding yearn from deficient limiest,. There was,
therefore, no cause for discouragement, but, on the con-
trary, reason to hope for improvement and better results.
Mr. J. W. Muntertu, deputy chairman, seconded the
motion, which was unanimously adopted.
Ou the motion of the CH•11111•14, dividends at the rate of
4 per cent. per annum on the 4 per cent. preferential stock
of the company, and 4} per cent. on the consolidated stock
of the conipauy, were then declared.
The outgoing directors. Messrs. William Hatightne,
James B Bell, Michael B. Mullins, and Joseph Hone were
re-elected.
Mr. James Haughton was also re-elected auditor of the
company.

of a small portion of the filial call, which will be due next
month, having been paid op. it is proposed to take autho-
rity at this meeting for the conversion of these shares into
stock. The directors feel satisfied that the operation by
which this capital bee been reified principally in preference
stock, will prove beneficiel to the company, while the stock
itself forms an eligible investment for those who have sub-
scribed for it. A project for connecting this railway with
the Brighton and South Eastern Reilwilys, by means of a
line through the Thames Tunnel, has been introduced into
parliament, which, if executed, will be the means of bring-
ing traffic upon this line from new sources, and under
proper arrangements will no doubt be advantageous to this
company. l'he directors, while giving their support to this
measure, will be careful that the interests of the company
are properly protected.
