MESSRS. HOWARD AND CLINTOX'S GREATEST AND
MOST DECISIVE VICTORT.—Ever since the Cesarewitoh,
the Knight of the Shire has enjoyed the soubriquet of
Messrs. lloward and Clinton's " Pet." It was a standard
joke in the ring before starting, " What's the odds
against Howard and Clinton ?" This was because we
stood on him alone for the Ceaarewitoh till the last
moment, when, finding that it was not his day,
we, on the Monday before the race, changed our
tip to Weathergage or Lady Evelyn by public
advertisement. But we are proud, we are exces-
sively elated, to find that we won so clearly, so deci-
sively. We positively picked him as the decisive and
only winner of the Cambridgeshire. We are daily
insulted by envious spiteful slanders, either by men who
would grovel in the dirt to curry favor with us, and who
vainly endeavour to imitate us; or by men who, like the
viper, vainly endeavour to injure the file. This time,
however, though despising the trouble, we did take
the precautions, and o❑ Saturday, in an interview which
we had with the Editor of Bell's Life, respecting an
erroneous statement acknowledged to have been in-
serted i❑ error, and which will be contradicted next
week, we left in his hands a copy of our first, last, and
only printed circular or tip, (excepting the one issued
months back boi ore the entries, when at 100 to 1 we
gave Bobbie Noble.) Well, in the above-mentioned
circular, after giving our r.asons for picking out the
Knight as the winner, we then placed them thus, as we
calculated they would run:—
Knight of the Shire 1
Asset.. 2
Convulsion 3

[The Knight was then at 20 and 15 to 1. Let this
speak for itself.] The steeple-chase season will far out-
shine our previous successes. Now, don't forget our
words. We have reason to know that not even
the proverbial uncertainty of horse-flesh will pre-
vent certain monied certainties coming off ; but we
shall have them on the hip in every case. Fee for
the season, two guineas. We want no one to join
our list till he is satisfied by dit act reference to subscri-
bers (which we will gladly afford) what we, our state-
ments, and our information are worth. Address H. and
C., Post-office, Coventry. street, Soho. Post-office orders
payable to Henry Howard. P.S. The money won by
our subscribers through our investments amounting to
2,9671. 103., will be forwarded (less commission) on re-
ceiving instructions. P.P.S. Thursday—lmportant No-
tice.—Past success opens the paths to future victories—
we never promise till we are nearly certain of fulfilling
our promise—we have it direct from the stable that they
are going in for an immense " pot " on the Epsom Au-
tumn Handicap—that it is as near an approach to a cer-
tainty as was the case of Adine—the money is on, but
with caution our subscribers can get on a little now at
20 to 1. .

..
To Subscribers. Per eentage comes in remarkably
slow; is it possible that we have to complain of this on
such an occasion—bah I don't let us have to remark
again on this subject.

COLLISION ON THE OZYORD, WORCESTER, AND
WOLVERHAMPTON RAILWAY.—An accident occurred
on Monday to the up mail train from Bristol to Bir-
mingham, near to the goods station of the Oxford,
Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Company at
Worcester, arising from gross negligence. By a recent
arrangement part of the Bristol and Birmingham trains
leave the Midland line at Abbott's Wood, and traverse
the loop lino of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver-
hampton Company to Worcester, joining the Midland
line at Stoke. The mail train duo at Worcester at ten
o'clock arrived at its proper time last night, but on
leaving the station, at about 200 yards beyond it, while
going at the rate of 10 or 12 miles an hour, ran into
two trucks which had been left upon the line. There
was but one carriage to the train, and this contained
but few passengers, who luckily escaped unhurt. It
appeared that in removing the waggons the men had
shunted the two trucks upon the main line, and then
went home to supper and forgot them. The men were
yesterday taken before a magistrate, and, in their
de-
fence said that they had been told to pat the trucks
there, and that they did not know anything about the
line. One was fined :in the penalty of 11. and sa. coats,
or 14 days' hard labour; and the other in 10a. and ss.
costs, or 7 days hard labour. The money was paid.
TESTIMONIAL TO RALPH BERNAL, Es4—The liberal
electors of the city of Rochester, anxious to testify their
admiration and esteem for their late respected member,
Ralph Bernal, Esq., recently entered into a subscription
for the purpose of presenting him with a piece of plate.
The selection has been a magnificent centre-piece, form-
ing a candelabra. It stands three feet high, having six
branches, beneath which are three figures, representing
Commerce, Justice, and Wisdom. The inscription is as
follows:—"Presented to Ralph Bernal, Eq., by the
liberal electors and inhabitants of the city of Rochester,
as a testimonial of their estimation of the many services
rendered to his country by his unflinching advocacy of
civil and religious liberty, free trade, and parliamentary
reform, throughout a long senatorial career of thirty-two
pears, during twenty-five of which be most assiduously
attended to the interests of their ancient city, as their
representative in parliament." On one side of the. base
are engraven the arms of the hon. gentleman, 13
motto Spas et Fortitude," and on the other the crest,
both of which are admirably executed. The weight of
it is 281 ounces; the cost nearly 2001.
SANITARY CONDITION OF THE CITY OE LONDOIII.7d
At the instigation of Mr. Elliott, a return
is has been kae
before the Court of Sewers of the numbs
wit somewhat
in various sheds in the City. Tile
astounding, and, indeed, alarrninang, seeing that in a
densely crowded mass of houses

Coos of animals, especially 51
serious addition to the many other agents which poison
the atmosphere. Even if the animals and sheds be kept
clean (a matter of great doubt), they are in all respects
out of place in the heart of London. In the east district,
including Aldgate and Bishorgate, there are 65; in the
west, including Bartholomew close and Shoo-lane, 77; in
Moor-lane,
the north middle, as Fore street,
and Milton-
street, 63; in the south middle, as Lambeth-hill and Old
Change, 27; making a total of milk-manufacturing cows
of 232. If search were made in other parts of the
metropolis, even a larger proportion of this nuisance
would b 3 found. Farm-yards, green fields, natural food,
and pure air are indispensable to the manufacture of
wholesome milk. Railways render inexcusable the con-
tinuance of keeping animals in foul air, whose milk
ender such circumstances, is a diseased secretion, injuri-
ous, more or less, to the public health.
ABOLITION OF CHANCERY OFFICE..—From this
day (Thursday) several Chancery offices, under the new
Acts of Parliament, will be abolished, including the offices
of the patentee of the subpoena office, the deputy of the
patentee of the subpoena office, the clerk of affidavits, the as-
sistant-clerk of affidavits, the second Assistant-clerk of all •
davits, the clerk of reports, the doorkeeper of the Court of
Chancery, and the office of the usher of the Court of
Chancery.
