The Match between Mace and Coburn,

The following letter appears in a contemporary :—" Sir,
—As Mace has published letters in the sporting journals,
n which he reflects upon myse'f, and as yon are considered
the daily organ of fair sporting, I trust to your impartiality
for the favour of inserting this reply. Mace says that
'Mr Brunton never found a shilling.' A truthful state-
ment of facts will be the best answer to this. I was ap-
pointed to receive all moneys to be staked on Mace's behalf,
and the proof of my having done so is that I still hold the
receipts for the money placed in the hands of the stake-
holder. It is not to be supposed, nor have I ever asserted,
that I foand him the £6OO, but I did my best towards it.
The sporting gentlemen placed their money in my hands,
which I duly forwarded to Bell's _We ; and since his letter
I have asked several who they were 'standing' money
with, and their answer has uniformly been, With you,
Brunton.' If I did not actually put the £6OO down for
him, it was deposited and raised by and through me. lam
sorry to expose that which should have been secret, but in
my own defence I must remind Mace that when a forfeit
was imminent, and when only £lOO a-side had been posted,
I went and made good the £5O on my own responsibility and
risk, not knowing if the match had fallen through whether
I should get back a farthing. Is this not finding money ?
Again, another peril assailed the progress of the match, and
sooner than that it should be off. one of Mace's best friends
advanced £l5 beyond the £5O he had already given, at rey
most urgent appeal. Is not this finding' or 'getting' the
money ? In the list that gentleman will be found for £95
instead of £5O, These are facts that Mace, or his scribes,
cannot gainsay.

"And, now, as to the Dublin affair. My leaving him
without a shilling is simply false. Mace told me that he
had plenty of money to get him to the ring aide; be that as
it may, I paid the hotel bill, amounting to £l2 148. 6d.,
out of which £ll2s. 3.1, was for himself, Milner, and Mr
Montague (Mace's secretary). To say that I left him
without a shilling is ungrateful as well as untrue, as I lint,
or as I suppose it will prove, gave him £5. When Milner
came to the choice of tho referee, I certainly would not give
the veto out of my hands, having a due regard to those who
had found the stakes, and intrusted them in my hands. I
named the representative of Bell's Lif e for referee, and, of
course, I objected to a Mr Bowler, whom I did not know,
who was not present, and when I askei to see him he was
not forthcoming.

"No possibility of the match coming cff, I then said that I
had done with the affair, having a proper regard to those
gentlemen who had found the money on the understanding
that it was for a fair, straightforward contest, and so I left.
I did not leave Mace penniless, as I have proved. It was
from no wish of mine that he showed in pubic or ran races
with bygone champions. I went from place to place, and
did my best to bring off the match. I expended XS 108.
begone £25 I took with me to forward Mace's interest.
This I do not regret, but I think it wrong that truth
should be perverted.
"Mace says I did not find a shilling.' I repeat I hold

the vouchers for the whole of the stakes down at Bcll' s
Li/e; and if any of those gentlemen who have found the
money, with myself, do not rece:ve their own again, it will
be no fault of " Your obedient servant,

" HARRY T. BRUNTON,
"Beech-street, Barbican, Oct. 8."

MISS BATEMAN.—Another week of brilliantly
and overflowing honses,says the Liverpool Chronicle,
has proved conclusively the firm hold this young lady has
gained upon the admiration and esteem of the Liverpool
public. Such audiences, either in point of numbers or posi-
tion among our citizens, are rarely, if ever, seen in the
Theatre Royal; and we congratulate Mr Copeland on
his managerial tact in securing such a powerful magnet
as "Leah" has proved. It is much to be regretted that
Miss Bateman's stay is necessarily so brief; could it
have been prolonged for a month the time would
scarcely have proved sufliolent to permit the eager multi-
tude, who thronged around the doors of the theatre, an
opportunity to witness this, the great tragic impersonation
of our century. A convincing proof of the truth and
beauty of Miss Bateman's acting is the fact that a second
visit but gives her auditors some new charm to discover,
and that the effect of her tender pathos is rather heightened
than subdued by repetition. (fitted, beautiful, and entirely
worthy the respect and admiration she everywhere receives,
we but express the sentiments of all who have seen her when
we claim for Miss Bateman the very highest position on the
British stage.
THE LIFEBOAT ENGRAVING.—The proprietors
of the Illustrated London News, with the same
disposition they have shown on former occasions to aid in
promoting the great and truly benevolent objects of the
National Lifeboat Institution, are about to publish, with the
number of that journal for the 15th instant, a large coloured
engraving, from an original and special drawing in water
colours, by Edward Duncan, Eeq , Member of the Society of
Painters in Water Colours, the subject being " The Lifeboat
off Tynemouth Bar." As this admirable coloured illustra-
tion is one of the finest pictures of the lifeboat of the insti-
tution ever issued, we trust that it will receive a very large
circulation, and thus be a permanent memorial of the noble
work which is performed in every storm by the gallant fel-
lows who are ever ready to man our lifeboats.
IIdFROVEUENTS IN THE TEMPLE.—In addition
to the renovation and beautifying the interior of
which has just been completed, the
btheneeTheermaludfo
thCehuirnenbe,r
Temple are making great improve-
ments; the interior and exterior of the ball and library ere
being redecorated, and the first-named builiing ventilated
on an improved principle. An immense stack of buildings,
faced with white stone, has been erected on the vacant
ground beyond Crown-office. row, facing the Temple-gar-
dens and Fig-true-court. The buildings are vet y Extensive,
and are intended for chambers; there are three entrances
from Crown. office-row.— City frcss.
THE GREAT BEN LDICTINE MONASTERY of
Monte Cassino is true to its glorious literary tradi,
Lions. Ps Scriptorium was the Oxford University Press of
the middle ages, and turned out the most beautiful copies
of Virgil, Horace, and Livy, as well as of the Missal and
Breviary. The monks are now engaged in printing a new
edition of the "Divine Commedia" from a MS. of the
fourteenth century preserved in their library.
WRECKS.—During the past week 33 wrecks have
been reported, reeking a total for the present year of 1,301
