The events were well contested throughout ; more par-
ticularly the junior fiat rem of 100 yards, in which the
time was 14 seconds. Also the motor flat race of the
same distance, woe in • most brilliant style by F. Marryat,
wbo also carried off 'the senior 'hurdle race io an
equally spirited maser. The runaing of F. Muggerido
in the mile race was greatly admired. The pole jump. were
unusually high. The prizes selected by the competitors
themselves, who had the entire management of the mestiog,
wen various and valuable. A large end faiths:oAM*
attendance testified to the posies interest takes in them
manly sports by the vitiators and residents of Brightoo. At
the mom the prises were distributed by Lieuteusot-Colonel
Fawcett, who, in his usual happy manner, complimented
the youngsters on the success of their stria:lemmata. He
further improved the occasion by telling his youthful
auditors that education, so far from ending in school, is
continued throughout life by the pulpit, the bar, end the
preen; and more than this, on the game basis of help and
direction by those who are older and more advanced in pelt-
tical development rest the foundation of English liberty in
that free and harmonious mutual aid so characteristic of
the nation, se opposed to the aentralleing spirit of other,
countries. Applying these principles to the case in hand
be expreseed his regret that eight only of the numerous
schools in Brighton have been induced to join so thoroughly
notional • movement. A more efficient starter and a judge
could not have been desired than Captains Hamilton and
Diemen, who were really indefatigable.

THE CHANTMLLOR Or THE EXCIIrtXER AND
DITNOoN Prig Dues.-On Monday afternoon Mr. Gladstone
and party arrived at Denman pier, per steamer Undies, oa
their way to Inverary, to pay a visit to the Duke of Argyll,
when two carriages were in waiting to carry them thither.
Os Mr. Gladatone's luggage being conveyed to the carriage.
be asked what was to pay, when the porter answered Is. Gd.
-Gd. for dues and la. for porterage. Mr. Gladstone thought
the charge exorbitant, and requested to see the bill of
charges. When this document had been searched through,
it was found that an overcharge had bean made. Mr.
Gladstone remarked that it was not for the sake of the
money, but a love for fairness and jostles, which had inured
him to act as he had done. The Chancellor then paid what
he thought wss right, and moved away, leaving the Minoan
officials in astonishment at the conduct of one who keeps
the nstion's purse and was yet so careful of his own.••-

Tut CASE or MADAME VALENTIN. —A good I
deal of public interest appears to have been excited is the I

at Holloway, bat although she was erestenced in terms 1
'to undergo hard labour no degrading punishment of
the ordinary character has been inflicted upon her, and she
Is employed in sewing articles for the use of the prison.
She has been in a most depressed state of mind ever
slam her conviction, and appears to feel her position very ,
acutely. Mr. Levenson, who conducted her defence,
has
visited her several times since her conviction, and he wain
comatunication with her for nearly two hours yesterday,
preparing &statement of her ease to be submitted to the
Home Seareeary, and 'praying for a pardon on the ground
that there wee no reliable evidence to support the charge
upon which she was convicted.
