TUNBRIDGE RACES.—Tsti FISDAT.

Following in the wake of Canterbury helped to sontri•
bats to the morons of this meeting, which is celebrated
within a few minutes' walk of ski town and railway
station. The course is surrounded by some wonderfully
charactsrlelto KenNalt scenery, but unfortunately it did

not appear to great advantage, the weather being heavy
and dull. The rain, which threatened all the afternoon,
however, did not descend, so that the large company pre-
sent were enabled to enjoy the racing with greater comfort
than they would if the sun had shone with great brilliancy.
The sport was of an average character, and all the business
arrangements of the meeting were complete in every
detail. Subjoined is a complete return of the running:

running, but after going fifty yards Dayrell raced up to
her, the pair going on head and bead three or four
lengths in advance of Nabocklish and Pakrita, clear of
whom followed revensey and Her Ladyship, Knight of
Downe "whipping in." They ran in this order until
reaching the stand, where Her Ladyship dropped to the
rear, hut the positions of the others were unaltered until
approaching the half-mile post, where Dayrell was beaten,
leaving Hilly with the lead, but she was immediately
joined by Nabocklish, who momentarily showed in ad-
vance. Maly, however, again assumed the command,
Nabocklish lying at her quarters, closely followed by
Pakrita, Pevensey, and Her Ladyship, till rounding the
last turn, where both Hilly and Nabocklish ran out,
letting up Pevensey, Pakrita, and Her Ladyship, the
favourite having a slight lead to the half distance ; dying
away, however, Her Ladyship headed him, and won very
cleverly by half a length. Pakritasaved her stake by a
head only from the favourite, Nabocklish was a bad
fourth, Hilly fifth, Dayrell sixth, and Knight of Downs
last.

Apron Strings, Election, and Peninsula, till rounding the
first bend, where the favourite took up the running, Sul-
tans running very wide. In the straight the issue became
• match between Merry Andrew and Apron Strings, the
former winning cleverly by • neck. Sultana was • bad
third. Peninsula • worse fourth, and Election fifth. After
they had gone about two hundred yards, Beautiful Star
struck into the heels of something and fell, knocking down
the Hind of the Forest filly. Borden was very severely
shaken, being insensible for some time, but Deacon was
more fortunate, escaping with but slight injury.

EXTRAORDINARY STRIKE OP UNIONIST STONE-
MASON:. —A strike which at one time threatened to prove
a serious impediment to the progress of the extensive
works at the new railway station at Leeds, now in course
of erection by Messrs. George Thompson and Co., the con-
tractor' for the North Esetern Railway Company, took
place a few days ago amongst the operative masons em-
ployed there. Several of the foremen who are non-unionists
were objectionable to the men on account of not being con-
nected with their society, and the latter waited upon one
of the members of the firm and demanded that they should
either be compelled to join the union or be dismissed from
the job, intimating at the sure time that the whole of the
masons would leave the works if this demand was not com-
plied with. He was amprised at the suddenness of the de-
mand, and desired the men to wait until the following morn-
ing in order that he might take it into oonsideration, but to
this the men would not consent, and required their imme-
diate discharge. This he declined to comply with, and
within ten or fifteen minutes afterwards the whole of the
memos of whom there were upwards of a hundred,
stopped work, notwithstanding that they were read% ing
We. a week wages, whereas the ordinary wages of the
town are only 30s. Subsequently the men offered to re-
same work if their demands were acceded to, but the
Messrs. Thompson steadily refused to do this, and the men
who struck lain remain out. The position of the con-
tractors has been considerably fortified by the conduct of
the directors of the company, who on being informed of
the step taken by the men, at once adopted the resolution
by which they granted an additional twelve months for the
completion of the contract, and expreesed their willing-
ness to extend the time if it should be neoterary. A large
number of the men on strike have been replaced by non-
unionists, and the contractors are sanguine that they
will ere long be able to secure their full complement of
hands.

LINDLEY 9 MURDER DEFENDED.—The following
threatening letter hsa been received by the *barman of
the Sheffield Fdernakers' Association :—" Near Bakewell,
August 21. 1867.—Sir,—A man must be very ignorant of
the trade of Sheffield who does not regard the policy of
T. T. and Co. as vulgar, dishonest, if not walicious. It is
• policy adopted by the moat vulgar and dishor es: men,
such as the late Lindley; and has never beenadopted but
with the same result. It has always robbed and degraded
workmen. Thirty years ago I was sent as one of • der-
tat on to • man who was taking six or seven apprentices
(under advice and promise) in my trade ; we pointed out to
him how it would injure his fellow-workmen; but the result
has far exceeded our prophecy, and from that time I have
ever regarded those who adopted that policy as thieve,—
vulgar thieves. No men, however steady and respectable,
can stand against it. It is esbad as playing with weighted
dice. If government won't protect men, men have aright
to protect themselves, and if the Ts, Ms, fcc. bring upon
themselves injury they will have nobody to blame but
themselves. No man has a right to inflict an injury upon
800 men. The mar ufacturers seem to me to want the
men to adopt Cain's principle, ' Am I my brother's keeper ?'
I think if the examination had be.n impartial it would
have led to the conclusion that where the protectionists
have killed one, the screws have murdered ten. There are
several ways of murdering people ; let us mind we are not
placed at the bar of God as thieves aud murderers. Lindley
was not murdered, the assertion oft repeated that he was
is gross hypocrisy ; ' murder is the delibe‘mte taking away
the life of a man, woman, or child who does not deserve to
lose it.' L'ndley deserved to lose his—the children starved
to death during the last ten years did not deserve to lose
theirs. I very deeply regret the Tartans have adopted
such • regular, dishonest poliey.—PAUL THE AGED."
THE SHEFFIELD LNUNDATION.—At the Sheffield
county court judgment has been given by Mr. Ellison in
several eases, the material points in which were identical,
relating to the Sheffield inundation of 1864. Immediately
after the bursting of the reservoir, numbers of people
being suddenly reduced by the destruction of their furni-
ture, working tools, tcc., to complete destitution, a relief
committee was formed, and the suffe-era assigned their
claims against the water company to the then mayor, Mr.
Jcasop, in consideration of the sums paid to them by the
committee for the damage they had unstained. At the
same time an active trade was being done by speculators
in discounting claims against the water company. In
many cases persons who had assigned their claims to the
mayor sold their claims to other persons, and were thus
paid ti ice over. The speculative buyers naturally failed
to recover upon already invalidated claims, and numerous
actions have arisen in consequence. A batch of such cases
was disposed of on Wednesday by • judgment in which the
judge said that the seller of the claim was bound to make
known the circumstance to the buyer of having previously
sold it to the relief committee, and hie honour being satis-
fied that this had not been done iu the cases at issue, gave
udgment for the Elaintiffe.

A short time ago the sea, in washing away
portions of an embankment in Orkney, exposed to view a
quantity of human bones. Among the remains a skull
was picked up which excited much curious interest, as a
linnet's met was found inside.
