SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EALING STICKPLECHAMS.—TarasDAy.
The scientism, was as ghat as on the opening day, and
the absence of fog tendered the sport much more enjoyable.
The principal rues of the meeting, the Ealing Grand Slesple-
chase, produced a good race, although the favourite, The
Hornet. evidently had the race in hand from alert to
finish, and fully justified the immense support awarded to
him. His victory was,reoeived with great cheering, the
backers geoerally being on to a man ; in feet the "talent"
bad them own way throughout the day, as will be seen by
the success of the favourites. The committee may emigre-
taste themselves on the happy rerun of their exertions,
bed every credit is doe to them for their attention to all
the minor details. The sport over. a general rush was made
for the station, bat notwithstanding the enormous traffic:
very little inconvenience wee felt, the excellent arrange-
snouts of the Great Western Railway Company preventing
spy great confusion, and especial praise is due to Mr.
Guam, the 'tattoo-master, for his courtesy and the strenu-
ous exertions he made to ensure the safety of the public.

TRIAL AND CONVICTION FOR MURDER AT GLAS- I
DOVE— At the Circuit Court of Justiciary, Glasgow, on
'Wednesday, John Jamieson was charged with murdering
Isabella It'litnnon, or Gallagher, in that city, on the 30th
of September last. The prisoner is a hammwer, and is forty
yeses of age, and the victim of the shocking crime was a
widow, aged forty.five years. The parties bad occasiosally
cohabited together, and cm the afternoon in question they
had, accompanied by other two oleo, been drinking in a
spirit shop in the city. While they were thus passing their

of the two meo, he rose se if to embrace his paramour. but

the Deck of the poor woman, the frightful gash commencing
at the spinal column, and extending to the windpipe, the
dreadful act being perpetrated before it wss possible to ,
'heck the MAO in his mad desire. Blood, of course, flowed
impiously, and death ensued in a few minutes. Jamieson,
is seeing what he had done, coolly said—" Bells, f loved
you, and will die for you." The fellow was apprehended

A DEFEATED CANDIDATE'S REVENOL—The Free-
stan's Journal says that one of the results of the recent
election in the county Monaghan is to be *victims on the
most extensive and indiscriminate scale. Over thirty
notices to quit have been served since the election on Mr.
Shirley's Farney tenants. Many of them are represented
as solvent Mean* who fulfilled their contracts, owed
no rent, and received the notice only because they refused
to vote for Sir G. Foster. Among them are the Very
Rev. Dean M'llahon, parish priest of Carriclansoross, and
Mr. Peter Rosy, one of the oldest and most improving
tenants on the estate. Re has, it is said, expended 1,0001.
on the house which be is noticed to surrender. Commentiog
on this proceeding, the Franuta says :—" Of course, the
law empowers Mr. Shirley to dimmer them all. Ile is not
bound to give any reasons. They are tenants from year to
year, and the landlord, at any time, may step in and
demand presession. He may direonnect the process with
political motives, but the notice to quit, following on the
heels of the election, raises • strong presumption that the
tenants are to be punished for their votes. Would Mr.
Shirley place himself for a moment in the position of
these men, and ask himself how would be feel if be were
punished by • superior power for having voted against
its wishes' It were well for the peace of the county
and the mutual confidence that should always subsist
between landlords and tenants if these election proceed-
ings were forgotten, and those notices to quit withdrawn.
To evict such men as Dean Id•Mahoo, Mr. Obey, and
other solvent and respectable tenants, would sow the
weeds of discontent in the county which might produce
disastrous fruit. Mr. Shirley is not vindictive. On the
contrary,' we have heard he is gentle and generous in
many thiep—though he has • will of his own, and a
very stubborn one, in matters political. We may find
fault with his principles, just as he may with ours ; but be
is entitled to bold them and advance them in every way
permitted by the constitution. It is only when be would
punish in other' the offences which he considers high party
virtues in himself, that he comes under the jurisdiction of
public opinion. We would impress on Mr. Shirley, and
them who represent his property in Monaghan, to follow
the example set by other landlords, and leave conscience
from In England it is scarcely ever forced. In Ireland,
liberty was the exception, now it is the rule. The late Sir
Robert Peel said, to evict • tenant because he refused to
vote in a particular way, was a Weeny than which, if
general, he could conceive none more fatal to the liberties
of the country, or more injurious to the true interests of
the landlords themselves."
BIRMINGHAM CHAMBER OF COMMERGL—The
ordinary mortally meeting of the council was held on Tom-
day. There were present Mr. J. S. Wright (Vios-Presi-
dent), and Masan. G. Dixon, A. Field, S. S. Lloyd, T.
Lloyd, E. Sturge, sad C. If. Wagner. Resolutions to be
discussed at the annual meeting of the Associated Chamber
of Commerce, in February next, were submitted for ap-
proval. The first, on Bankruptcy Reform, introduced by
Mr. Sampson Lloyd, was much the same as lent year, the
following being the principal point+, yin :—Fuat, the
appoistment of a chief judge ; seoondly, the consolidation
of the law into one statute ;thirdly, the assimilation of the
law in Great Britain ; fourthly, the adoption in the main
of the Scottish system, a stricter definition of the offences
in the Bankruptcy Law, and a division of reckless and
fraudulent acts ; all oases coming under the latter
class to be dealt with in the crimioal courts. Mr.
Arthur Ryland proposed the following resolution on the
subject of registration of trade marks in England :
" That a registration of trade marks would, in the
opiaioo of this meeting. Mamas the certainty and decresse
the cost of maintaining the title to such mark, in England,
and would also fecalitate the procuring more effective
provisions than now exist for the protection of British
trade marks in foreign countries." Mr. G. Dixon and Mr.
A. Field proposed the following resolution on international
maritime law :—" That in the opinion of this meeting
the declaration of principles by the Congeries of Paris in
18.36 falls short of the demands of civilization, the require-
ments of commerce, and the growing desire to lessen the
calamity of war in sot extending to private property of
belligerents on the ocean the freedom from seizure
proclaimed for that of neutrals. That • copy of
this resolution be forwarded to her Majesty's Go-
vernmeot and the principal Chambers of Commerce."
Oo the motion of Mr. E. Stuns the following tool*.
tiara was adopted with refereace to the landing of the West
India and Pacific mails at Falmouth :—" That the present
is a favourable time for urging on the attention of goeera-
remit the advantage of leading the West ladle sad Pacific
mails at Falmouth, under the same enangeniente as those
which apply to the landing of the American modest Queens-
town ; that the secretary be requested to invite the co-
operation of the Chambers of Commerce of Bristol, Liver-
pool, Manchester, and Glasgow in making a simultaneous
effort to effect that object." The Vies-President was
directed to obtain, through Mr. Sebolefield, more complete
statistics showing the proper of different contineatal
countries in the manufacture of hardware goods during the
last fifteen years. The consideration of the letter of Mr.
Species, of Manchester, proposing to repeal the law se
regards endorsements on stamps and cheques, was defamed
to the next meeting of the council. There was no ease
leminime of bamboo'.
