The Lady's Xewspaper refers again to the signs which
betray the slow but certain secret progress of the great
design for centralising all our great national collections of
science and art at South Kensington. In furtherance of
this inquiry, we should like to have an explanation of a
little item which we notice in the Civil Service estimates
for the present year, under the head of " Public Works and
Buildings." It •uns as follows ;—" For land, &e., at

above all, what is included in the significant &c.?
MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE AT SCARBOROUGH.
—The dead body of Mr. Nathaniel Josephs was found on
the beach near Gristhorpe, about seven miles from Scare
borough, on Thursday evening. The particulars of the
unfortunate gentleman's disappearance from Scarborough
on Tuesday last have been already given. The apprehen-
sions therein expressed have been painfully verified. An
inquest was held tin view of the body before Mr. Jennings,
the East Riding coroner, at Gristhorpe yesterday, and a
verdict iu accordance with the circuwetancee was returned,

LITERATURE,

CHAMBERS'S JOURNAL.—The Extra Double
Number, being (under date 23d April, 1864) the
Snakspere Tercentenary Number of this old and
favourite periodical—ought to have an immense
circulation. It deserves it. Although—being, as
announced, a double instalment—this extraordinary
issue of Chambers's Journal extends to as many as
thirty-two pages, the price of it is no more than
threepence. Scattered through the ample supply
of letterpress (every word of it of the most interest-
ing character), are nineteen beautifully designed
and executed wood-engravings. A capital portrait
and facsimile of autograph, to begin with—the
House in Henley-street, as a matter of course, and
equally as a matter of course Anne Hathaway's
cottage at Shottery : Charlcote Hall—the Grammar
School and Guild Chapel—Stratford Bridge—seve-
ral views of Stratford itself—the lovely old spired
Church there, both inside and out—together with
all sorts of archwalogical odds and ends, such as a
tobacco stopper from the mulberry tree, a quaint old
signet ring, and so forth. Wherever a Coventry
Ribbon Tercentenary Favour goes on the 233 of
this month of April, there, too, ought to go, what
will be, in that case, to every purchaser of it, quite as
mach of a favour in its way, this extraordinary
double number, illustrated, price threepence, of
Chanzbers's Journal for the Shakspere Tercen-
tenary.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

EPSOM RACES-YESTERDAY.

The Epsom Spring has been successful this year. The
Sport has been very good, most of the events keenly con-

tested, and it has afforded the rare, if not singular sight of
a dead heat batween three horses for second place in the
Great Metropolitan. The magnificent weather of to-day
attracted a great crowd, and a most enjoyable aftemoonlwas
spent on the Downs. The backers of horses, though, must
have passed many mauvais quart d' h,cure. We heard
complaints on all sides that it was impossible to spot a
winner. Let us hope that the approaching Craven will see
a change of fortune.
The Waterloo Plate of 50 sovs, added to a sweepstakes of 5

sow; each, for all ages. Three-quarters of a mile.

Count Batthyany's Suburban, 6 yrs, 9st ....(Custance) 1

Betting-3 to 1 agst Practitioner, 100 to 30 agst Attache,
4 to 1 agst Suburban, 100 to 12 agst Confederate, and 100
to 6 agst Overture.

Exactly half-an hour after the time set down they were
despatched from the post, Confederate, having a slight lead
of the favourite, and Bosh, came on with the running, fol-
lowed on the inside by Suburban, close up with whom were
Overture and Coronet. On reaching the road the last
named three joined the leaders, and when fairly in the dis-
tance Suburban assumed the command, which he retained
to the end, and won in a canter by ten lengths; Practi-
tioner defeated Coronet by a neck for second; Bosh was
fourth; and Overture fifth; ,the others were pulled up
and trotted in.

The New Two-year-old Stakes of 10 eovs each, with 50

Betting-9 to 4 agst Gontran, sto 1 agst Grappler, Bto 1

1 agst Lemonade and Ethelred.
Lemonade cut out the work, with Juneaton on her left,
the pair being followed on the lower ground by the favou-
rite, Grappler, and Simoun. At the distance Juneaton
dropped back, and the favourite joined Lemonade, the pair
running locked to the stand, where they were joined by Fri-
day on the extreme right, who headed them in the next
half•dozen strides, and won a fine race by a head; a like
distance separated the second and third ; Grappler finished
an indifferent fourth, Simoun fifth, Shrapnell sixth, and
British Queen seventh.

The Balaclava Stakes of five soya each, with 30 added,

They ran in company for the first hundred yards, when

filly, Little -go, and the Teddington filly to the half distance,
when W. Day's filly came out and won very easily by a
length and a half ; a bad third ; the Teddington filly was
fourth, Secrecy fifth, and Ivanhoe sixth, The winner was
sold to Mr, R. Sutton for 165 guineas, and Mr, Milne
claimed Usher.

Betting-100 to 30 agst Lord Zetland, 4 to 1 agst Joco,

Touch-and. Go, 100 to 6 agst Greville, 15 to agst Aunt
Judy, and 20 to 1 agst Jeannette.
Without the usual loss of time in unnecessary parading
the animals past the stand, Mr. M'George despatched them
from the post in close company. Major, after running a
few strides, took a clear lead, and came past the post slightly
in advance of Joco, King Charming, Lord Zetland, Sum-
merside, and Jeannette, Touch and• Go, Brighton, and
Greville bringing up the rear. As they neared the bend
into the new course, Iphigenia rushed past her horses,
evidently making a pace for her stable companion, Major
going second, Aunt Judy third, Jeannette fourth, with
King Charming, Joco, the Favourite, and Summerside
lying up. At the turn into the Mile Course King Charm.
ing took a decided lead, but when going through the
" fumes" he was headed by Iphigenia, the pair having as
their immediate followers Aunt Judy, Major, Lord Zet-
land, with Joco at his girths, in whose rear came Touch-
and-Go and Brighton. Descending the hill Iphigenia,
having performed her allotted task gave way, and dropped
into the :rear as they rounded the bend, leaving King
Charming lying in the centre with a clear lead, with the
Major, Lord Zetland, and Joco on his right, Touch-and Go
joining issue as they reached the distance next the rails
on the lower ground. They retained these positions
until they reached the enclosure, when Lord Zetland, in
his attempt to got through, was disappointed by the lead-
ing horses closing up, and Mordan had to pull round,
which materially afh.eted his chance. At the stand the
four placed were so perfectly in a line that each in his turn
was proclaimed the winner, and they ran so to the end,
and it was not until No. 7 (the number of the winner) was
hoisted that the anxiety of the spectators was relieved, Joco
being declared the winner by a head. The judge, however,
was unable to separate his three followers, and gave it as a
dead heat between them. Lord Zetland was fifth, close up,
Summerside sixth, Greville seventh, andjAunt Judy eighth.
Iphigenia walked in last.

The Walton Stakes of 100 SOW each, 5 ft, with 50 added ;

Earl of Surrey, with T. P. Cooke and Harvest Moon,
made the running to the half distance, where the latter gave
way, and her place was taken by Rosa Lee, to which let the
race was reduced. The favourite, who was never asked, won
in a canter by two lengths, twice that distance separating
the second and third ; Pixie was fourth, and Golden Cross
fifth. Tho last two were Harvest Moon and Truant.

NATIONAL SHAKSPERE CELEBRATION;—The fol-
lowing further arrangements have been reported in
connexion with the London Shskspere movement. Mr.
Cleo. Cruikshank has undertaken to design a memorial
receipt card. to be given to all subscribers of one shilling

in aid amongst the Germans resident in London. A public
meeting was held in St. Pancras on Thursday evening, to
further the objects of the Monument Fund. Mr. George
Cruikshank occupied the chair, and Messrs. W. K. Sawyer,
J. C, Jeafferson, and G. Linnsaus Banks, attended as a de-
putation from the National Committee. Madame Parepa,
Mr. 11. Irlarston, Mr. J. B. 13uekstone, Mr. J. L. Toole,
and Mr. Paul Bed lord, have all promised to assist in the
Working Men's Shakspere Festival in the Agricultural
Hall on the 23cl inst.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

BOW-STREET.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT IN DRURY-LANE.—John Collins,
a very powerful-looking man, was placed at the bar, on
remand, charged with violently assaulting Daniel Cadle.
It appeared that last Saturday night the prisoner was at
an oyster stall near King-street, Drury-lane, when th•
complainant attempted to pass him, but he found he could
not do so until he had moved away from the oyster stall.
This the prisoner refused to do, and a fight ensued. Cadle
after a short scuffle cried out " I can't fight any more ;
he's got something sharp," and immediately fell to the
ground. On raising him up
_blood was found
oozing rapidly from wounds abou t his neck.
He was first of all taken to a surgeon's, aad from there to
King's College Hospital,
Mr. Henry Lord TZempthorn, house surgeon of King's
College Hospital, said Cadle was brought to the hospital on
the morning of the 3d of the present month. His head was
bandaged, and on the removal of which two wounds were
found, one at the back of the neck and the other a little
above the jaw on the right side of the face.
Mr. Vaughan—Wounds of what character?
....,Witness—They were incised wounds.
Mr. Vaughan—Both of them ?
Witness—Yes. The wound at the back of the neck was
a flesh wound, but the other bled profusely as if some im-
portant veesel had been wounded. The wounds were
dressed, and the blood ceased to flow.

Mr. Vaughan—Constable, have you the knife ? (It was
produced.)
Witness—An instrument of that kind would in-
flict the injuries. After the bandages had been ap-
plied, the man, who was apparently suffering from
drunkenness, left the hospital, and on Monday
he came again, when another wound was discovered on the
left arm. The wounds were dressed on Tuesday, and,
being an out-patient, he left, but yesterday he came again,
with his wounds bleeding afresh. The principal one had
considerably enlarged, as an attempt was made to find the
injured artery, but it was so deep it could not be reached.
Professor Partridge then, in about three-quarters of an
hour, tied the main vessel of the neck, End he was put to
bed. He was at present sensible, but there was no means
of telling the result of the operation for a fortnight at the
earliest.

Mr. Vaughan—ln your opinion a fortnight would be the
earliest period, suppose all goes on wed, before the wounded
wan could attend and give evidence ?

Witness—Yes, certainly I should rather think it would
be a month.

Mr. Vaughan (to prisoner)—You have heard the charge,
what answer have you to it ?
Prisoner—The doctor at the hospital made the cut on
Cadle's arm.
The magistrate remanded him for a week.

THE ROBBERY IN CHANCERY-LANE.—The two young
men charged with burglariously entering the shop of Mr.
Moaeley, clockmaker, of Chavery-lane, and stealing from
thence a number of valuable time-pieces, were again placed
at the bar, but no further evidence being offered they were
fully committed for trial.
