SPORTING NOTES;

The Odiham meeting las.t week was well attended by
the Upper Ten Thousand, but the Fields for the various
races were comparatively small. The Hurstborne Stakes
opened the ball, anl produced five runners of such equal
pretension's that their owners had rot the courage to stand

them, 3 to 1 being offered on the field at the fall of the flag.
Eugenie and Purity apparently had the most admirers, and
lift off equal favourites; but the majority of backers being
afraid to take them singly, coupled them, and then they
were doomed to defeat by Discretion, who, it will be recol-
lected, cut up very badly at Harpenden and again at
Hampton, where she ran second to Victorious by permis-
sion. The South-Western Plate which followed, brought
out the lot entered, and resulted in a second turn-up for
the fielders by the success of Signal, a good-looking three-
year-old colt, by Vedette out of Maid of Lincoln. He was
a cast-off from T. Brown's stable, having been got rid of
for 10 soya as utterly worthless; but from the very easy
manner in which ho cut down his field, comprising two
such warm favourites es Lady Nichol and the highly-tried
Hope, from John Day's, he readily found a new owner in
Mr.G. Angell, at 190 guineas, and thereby benefited the
fund 160 soya, The Dogmeisfield Park Stakes presented
in its results one of those enigmas that occ isionlly turn
up in racing, and which completely upset public running
Out of the dozen appearing on the telegraph, a third
of the number were in request in the ring ; Purity, from
the unaccountable manner in which she cut up in the
opening race of the day, was almost friendless, her starting
solely depending upon her trainer, who could not believe in
the truth of that race, and who, although she was meeting.
Discretion upon 21b worse terms than meths first occasion,
expressed his opinion that the running would be reversed.
His opinion was correct, as Mr Nightingall'ifilly was never
in the race, Purity winning in the most hollow style by a
length from Doeford, the latter finishing three lengths in
advance of Virtuous. The Handicap, as compared with
former years, was a great failure, and produced but five run-
ners out of the dozen coloured on the card; but if the field
was scant it was amply compensated for by the close and
exciting contest it produced between the ever-doubtful
Aurelian and the game Redcap, the pretensions of the two
being so evenly balanced that each of their respective
owners hedged his stake upon his adversary. The result
was in favour of Aurelian, Goater, we imagine, out-riding
T. Clark at the finish. The Bibury Meeting was also well
attended, A 1100 Plato, ono mile, was the first on the card,
and the first of those surprises which the backers of favou-
rites experienced during the day. It looked "a moral" for
Manrico, but Principal, with Bst 61b, had the best of it all
the way, and won as he liked, both the favourite and Little
Savage never having a chance. In the 10 soya Sweepstakes
the clever division quite overlooked Overstone, and pinned
their faith on Reindeer and Walloon, the latter of whom
made the running, Overstone coming out at the dip and
winning in a canter. He was bought in for a pony above
his selling price. In the Five Furlongs Sweepstakes Becky
Sharp and Volatile, who had a see-saw for the position of
favourite, cut up very badly; indeed there were only two
in it, Vabalanthus and Confederate, Lord Uxbridge's colt
winning, after a good race, by half a length. Lord Ports-
mouth's filly has not improved on her two-year-old form.
There was a fair muster in the Champagne, and one or two
very good-looking ones among
.the lot; Lisette, on the
strength of her racing look, being backed at evens against
the field. She is by Yellow Jack, and has fine action.
Missionary is an undeniably fine colts but his day is net yet.
The Duke of St. Albans had something vary neat in Trapeze,
and Cordelia and Rothomago looked as if thny could gallop
a bit, which one of them did, for the favourite beg beaten
at the dip the issue appeared to be left to Missionary' and
the French young one, until at the stand a brown filly wag
seen to shoot out from the ruck, which proved to he Cordelia,
the stable companion of Lisette : she soon disposed of the
two leaders and won easily. This was another great turn
for the fielders, though some of the leading bookmakers
grumbled a good deal, and declared they had b, en done
badly; in fact, the betting was limited all day. The Bibury
Stakes used to see a better field then the four who saddled
for it. Welbeck and Suspicion were about equal favourites,
the former with the call. General Hess looked going well,
but retired at the distance, and Mr Bevili's horse won very
easily. The first year of the Sixth Stockbridge Biennial,
which on this occasion was included in the Bibury pro-
gramme, was the interesting event of the day, and appro-
priately wound up the proceedings. Report had credited
Lord Hastings with "a clinker" in The Duke, and though
the Danebury stable lied not carried its colours in front as
yet, there was some chance that there would be no mistake
this time. Fifteen came to the post, and it is sufficient here
to say that it was a very easy affair for the f ivourite, who
came through his horses, and with only Wild Boy—whom
he shook off without difficulty—near him, won in a canter.
He was immediately of ter wade second favourite for the
Derby, but Liddington will heat him whenever they meet.
At the Stockbridge Meeting Cambuscan and Ely fought
their Derby battle over again, where the latter reversed
positions with Lord Stamford's horse. The Stockbridge
Cup next claimed attention--and a very pretty thing, by
the way, the said Cup is, elegant in design and execution,
and calling up bad comparisons with the vulgar and poverty
stricken thing that did duty for a cup at ascot this year.
this, again, was a surprise. Gertarea ran very badly, suc-
cumbing to the weight; Old Orange Girl, the second
tavauri,e, not showing well in the race, which fell to The
Clown; Birch Broom, who looked going well at the dig.
tance, dying away when called upon. Perhaps the Beaufort
Handicap was the race best worth seeing, from the magni-
ficent way in which Fairwater disposed of all her competi-
tors, with the top weight of Oat, over two as severe miles,
if not the severest, as there are in England. Redcap, to
whom she gave 3st minus 21b, made the running for the
first mile and a half, when Custance sent the old mare to
the front, and Catch 'em• Alive, and indeed everything
else being out of the race at the distance, she won in
gallant style with certainly a stone in hand a great
performance. It was a splendid sight to see her gallop
as she did over the heavy ground with a free action
not exhibited by any other animal. A sad accident in the
next race threw a gloom over the afternoon's proceedings.
Young Clark, a very promising boy from the Danebury
stable, was riding Lord Ronald, who bolted with him, flung
him heavily, and falling upon him, injured him so severely
as to necessitate his being immediately conveyed to John
Day's house in a carriage in a state of insensibility, the
surgeon who attended him giving but faint hopes of his re-
covery. Lord Ronald had been the favourite prior to this,
but it was now regarded as a certainty for Herchell, from his
previous performance at Bath and Salisbury, and he won as
he liked. On Fridal the Visitors' Plate saw ago .:d race
between Olivia and Catch-'em-Aiive, the mare winning
cleverly in the last 200 yards. General Hess broke down.
It looked a very good thing for Damascus on paper in the 6
Soya Sweepstakes, and Perry getting away in front with the
best of the start, 'and only Erythia near him, won in a
canter. Another accident marked to-day's proceedings. The
Tribute filly flung Mordan over the rails on her way to the
post, and gave him a severe shaking, but happily no bones
were broken. The Troy Stakes produced a good-looking
field. Gardevisure, Tennyson, Kmaig, and Sydmonton (a
very neat-looking colt of Lord Portsmouth's) amongst
them. Gardevisure of course was the favourite, though it
was looked upon as just upon tho cards that the duke might
pull it off with Kcenig. He was looking very well and im-
proved since Ascot. Tennyson seemed a little above him-
self, and as if he did not quite like the work. Sydmonton,
who played Wells such a trick on 'Wednesday, showed again
to- day, and behaved better, a very neat-looking bay, with
white logs and many good points of a racer about him. The
race was a goad one between the favourite and lissnig,
Fordham coming with one of his rushes and nearly snatch-
ing victory from Gardevisure, whose jockey appeared to us
to draw it a little too fice, winning only by a head. She is
certainly a beauty, with a low gliding untiring action, that
tells on this severe course. This race is to be run again at
Newmarket during the Second October Meeting, The
Uxbridge Plate was thought just the distance for Lady
Clifden ; but she did noe run kindly, the race being left to
Soapstone and Confederate, the former appearing to have
the best of it at the distance, but declining when called
upon, and Confederate won easily. In the Gentleman's
Derby Mr. Bevill favoured us with a specimen of good
riding, by bringing out Joao at the finish and defeating
Welbeck by a head. Neither Tippler nor Trumps showed
in the race, the latter being beaten off. The Stewards'
Plate was a rare surprise for the London bookmakers, as
Tippler's name was never mentioned in connection with the
race, the only two backed being Lord Zetland and Fair-
water, between whoni an exciting race was anticipated.
the public have a decided right to know on what condi-
tions Tippler walked over, and how the stakes were divided.
General Peel, Clarissimus. and another of Lord Glas-
gow's horses (the Senorita colt), has been removed from old
Tom Dawson's stables to John Scott's, at Melton.

The Worcester Meeting commences to-morrow, the
principal event being the 'Worcestershire Handicap. Fan-
tail and Exchequer have the best of the weights, and ought
to produce the winner between them. The former is cer-
tain to stay the distance,' and I give her the decided pre-
ference of the two.

On Wednesday the Northumberland Plate is sot for de-
cision. The field will in all likelihood comprise the follow-
ing :—C Ou, Oldminster, Limosina, Borealis, Honest
John, Trust, Alice, Tottenham, Baktchi Semi. Found
Again, Sir Ltoger, Whatfinger, and Lady Trafford. Sir
Roger looks very like being an absentae. He was made
first favourite on Saturday, but to-day he has been sent to
the outside division. It he goes to the post I should
prefer him to anything in the race. Baktchi Seral has
been heavily supported daring the last week, and if money
will made a horse win ho ought to nearly land the good
thing for his supporters. Caller Ou is not able to give the
weight to Baktchi Serai. Borealis will likely run to as-
sist Caller On. Trust has been occasionally supported,
and is almost certain to get a situation, if he does not turn
up the absolute winner. Alice with her light weight is
bound to run forward. Honest John will find the company
too good. I cannot expect the same luck as last year, when
I placed the first three in precisely the same position as
the judge, but on this occasion he will in all likelihood
place—

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-SATURDAY.

The betting at our Subscription Rooms to-day on the
Northumberland Plate was of a remarkable character. Sir
Roger, Baktchi,Serai, and Caller Ou were each in great de
mand ; in fact, no other horses might be going to run, judg-
ing by the eagerness shown to support these three, who
were, in several instances, backed against the field. At 100
to 7 each Trust and Alice were in a little inquiry, but Old-
minster, Found Again, Honest John, Lady de Ttafford,
Limosina, Hymettus, and Donnybrook were friendless, the
latter receding to 100 to 1 (offered.) Beyond one bat of 200

A STORY OF LORD BROUGHAM.—Once upon a
time, in the palmy days of Brougham, Russell, and
Whiggery, her Majesty's Ministers visited the brewery,
and ate a rumpsteak luncheon in one of the great vats.
This feat accomplished, the representative Whigs and big-
wigs made an inspection of the brewery, and at every step
of their progress Lord Brougham acted as expounder,
demonstrator, and spokesman, so that it soon became a
question with his friends whether Truman, Hanbury,
Buxton, and Company had not been suddenly rolled into
one and compressed within his lordship's mighty
cranium, for he actually appeared to know more about
the place, the machinery, the chemistry, and even the trade,
than the practical heads of the several depart meats, Here
they encountered a force pump, used for raising water, or
no matter for what purpose. His lordship at once explained
the peculiarities of the engine, its capacity and capability;
talked about it, in fact, just like an experienced engineer.
So it was whichever way they turned, till they came to the
mashing vats, and there it was expected ho would break
down. But no; he knew all about the chemistry of worts,
explained off hand the effects of temperature and fer-
mentation on the flavour of ales, the influence of
soils and seasons on the qualities of malt and hops,
and thence on the values of the brewing& ; and, in
fact, illuminated Mr. Booth, the then brewer to the
firm, and one of the soundest operative chemists of the day.
Then among the merry party there ran a buzz to this
effect, " Wait till Brougham gets among the horses—he
knows nothing About horses; we shall have the laugh of
him there." Yes, catch a weasel asleep, or a Scotch philo-
sopher data; or 904; and then tell it in Gath and else
where. Brougham knew as much about the horses as the
master of the stables ; could select instanter those that were
strongest, those that were weakest, those purest bred, and
those of corrupt lineage; and thereupon the party gave
up all hope of discovering his weak point, and allowed him
to participate in the convivialities of the occasion without
further torture.—.7ltbberd's Gardening Magazine.
OBSOLETE PUNISHMENTS.—Our old chroniclers
speak very familiarly of " pillorising, carting,
riding, whipping," and these course forms of punishment
seem to have been impartially administered. In 1560, Mr.
Church and his man were set on the pillory at Westminster
(the master was a justice of the peace), for wrong-doing in
his office and for slandering the Privy Council. Soon
after, a skinner of Southwark underwent the like
ordeal, with a piper over his head containing
his indictment, whence it appeared that he had long
deceived the public by soothsaying and divers im-
moral practices. In 1563, a woman that kept the Rose
Tavern at St. Katherine's Tower, for having raw and
cooked meat in her house in Lent, appeared in the pillory,
while four women who partook of the forbidden meats, were
set in the stocks all night. Women convicted of being in-
curable scolds were paraded through the streets seated on
ass or horse back, with their faces to the tail, and wearing
a sort of gag cr bridle in their mouths, so contrived
that when they attempted to speak it would severely
lacerate the tongue of the sufferer. For yet more
culpable incontinence, the miserable creature was ex-
posed in some public thoroughfare holding a lighted
taper, her feet bare and an accusatory label on her head.
while she implored mercy for her transgressions. 'We doubt
whether the moral effect of such exLibitions was at all satis-
factory. Te eat flesh in Lent without a dispensation was
held to be a very serious crime. •In pursuance of a procla-
mation by the Qu-en and Council, March Ist, 1659, no
keepers of tables might expose flesh to be eaten in Lent, or
at any other time forbidden by the Church. Nor were any
butchers allowed to slaughter animals for food during the
same period, under penalty of a heavy fine, or to stand on
the pillory for 6 hours, and suffer imprisonment for 10 days.

THE SEINE AND THE SEWERS OF PARIS.-00
this subject, which is attracting so much attention
just now, M. Grimaud de Gaux, a competent judge, has
addressed a paper to the Academy of Sciences, in which
he specially adverts to M. Peligot's experiments.
Starting from the fact that the mineral substances con-
tained in potable water, while they are easy to dis-
cover, do not affect public hearth, and are rather
beneficial to it, but that with organic substances
the case is materially different, our author ac-
knowledges that, by his analysis, M. Peligot has rendered
a real service: to society. But as the latter is of opinion that
the quantity of mineral principles, however great, is abso-
lu ely irrelevant in a sanitary point of view, M. Grimaud
established a distinction between potable water, of which
scarcely a litre per head is consumed, and water intended for
manufacturing purposes, the consumption of which is in•
finitely greater, and which ought not to contain an excess
of mineral principles. In this respect river water rankse
l
immediately after rain water, which contains no mineral
substances rhatever. Passing to the principal question,
our author observes that at Bercy Seine water is good; at
the Pont-Neat, it is disagreeable to drink; at Grenelle it
cannot be drunk without a great effort, and at Asnieres it
spreads an intolerable infection, owing to the discharge of
the main sewer of the capital. What, he asks, is the
remedy to be adopted ? Let the main sewer be ramified,
let its branches carry the offensive matter, not into the
Seine, but far into the fields by a regular system of irriga-
tion. The soil, by absorbing the liquids, neutralises their
bad *smell, and becomes itself enriched. The manure rosy
also be subjected to certain preliminary manipulations.
In 1856 the city of Leicester had, by its sewers, in-
fected the Soar. Since then, the liquid contents of the
sewers are collected in a special receptacle, where they are
mixed with slaked lime whereby a precipitate is formed,
which, mixed with mud, is made into cakes, and sold for
manure. Such a speculation, M. Grimaud thinks, would be
extremely profitable in Paris.

OYSTER CULTIVATION.—Among the places where
thy, breeding of
Oysters has been attended with
most success during th© last few years, none is more
remarkable than the Isle of Rhe, off the west coast of
France, near La Rochelle. In 1867, the last natural bed
of oysters there was quite exhausted, and the 18,000 in-
habi ants had no other resources than the cultivation of
their barren soil and deep sea fishing, the coast being too
muddy for fishing near the shore. In the year, just men-
tioned, an inhabitant of the island, a mason by trade,
having heard of the new method of forming artificial
oyster beds, applied to the Government for permission
to make the experiment near a bank visible at low water,
and obtained, in February, 1853, a grant of 1,800 square
metres, He immediately began to enclose his new pro-
perty by laying brushwood in the mud, and placing large
atones on it to make a kind of wall. Iu July he wes
preparing to obtain oyster spawn from Brittany, when
he observed that his stones were covered with spawn
brought by the tide. He then carefully removed them
into deep r water, and awaited the result. In 1860, he
gathered oysters to the amount of 1501; in 1861, his sales
brought 6001; in 1862, I,ooof ; and last year, 1,2001. His
success soon induced other persons to follow his example,
and the number o beds round the island is at present 3,010,
which in the last four years have produced a sum of
130,000 f. and raised the inhabitants to a state of prosperity
previously unknown.

CRIME IN FRANCE.

-o---

The Tribunal of Correctional Police onWednesday
tried M. Charles Hurnbert on a charge of having
suppressed a will under the following circum-
stances :—Some 20 years since, a M. Humbert, who
made a tolerable fortune cs an ironfounder,
died, leaving a widow about 40 years of age, and
an only son, the defendant. After attaining her
50th year Madame Humbert found a second hus-
band in the person of M. Au:;nste Liverdet, with
whom she lived till her death, on the 2lst JAnuarv,
1860, after making a will, by which she left all
her property to her son, M. Charles Humbert, the
defendant, on condition of his paying her second
husband a yearly pension of 2,400 f. The will men-
tioned no other legacy; much to the disappointment
of a niece of the testratrix, Mdlle. Cruzel, who said
her aunt had promised to give her 20,000 r., but

M. Lsverdet asured her that he had e%refully exd-

w -
mined all his deceased wife's papers, without find-,
fog any will or codicil to that effect. The widower,
too, was dissatisfied with the will, and complained
bitterly to the universal legatee, notwithstanding
the latter had spontaneously consented to pay him
3,000 fr. a year instead of the 2,400 fr, left is the
will. Three years later, however, M. Layertiet
stated to several of his friends that he had found a
paper in his wife's desk, two days after her decease,
in which she left her niece I,ooofr. a year for life,
and he had given this document to the defendant,
in the fall confidence that he would execute his
mother's wishes. Madlle. Ci-uzel in consequence
applied to the defendant, who denied that Laverdet
had ever given him such a document. The present
proceedings were then taken. M. Laverdet
repeated in court the above statement respecting
his finding the paper in question and giving it to
the defendant, and attempted to explain his long
silence, hut apparently not to the satisfaction of the
Tribunal, for the Presideat remarked that it was
very strange the witness had never once alluded to
the existence of this paper in his three years' cor-
respondence with the defendant, which was not
always of the most friendly kind. Several witnesses
were examined, but their evidence was most con-
tradictory, and consisted chit fly of reports of their
conversations with Laverdet. The defendant denied
that any such paper bad evar been given to him by,
Laverdet and declared that the charge was fabri-
cated for malicious purposes. After a short
deliberation the Tribunal decided that the existence
of the will was not proved, and accordingly
acquitted the defendant.

The Correctional Tribunal of Vendome (Cher•at-
Loir) has just tried four farmers residing at Epui-
say, on a charge of obstructing the cure of the
parish in the performance of his clerical duties. It
appeared from the evidence that, for the last fifteen
years a grand mass has been celebrated at Epnisay
on the 25th of May, in honour of what is called the
"Farmer's Fête," but this year the cure positively
refused to continue the usage, alleging as his reason
that only five persons attended on the last occasion,
and that he wished to avoid affording any opportn4
nity for riotous festivities. This refusal caused
great irritation in the parish, and on the morning
of the 26th ult., when the cute went to the church
to celebrate the usual morning mass, he found
the defendants and others waiting close by to pre-
vent his entering, and a number of broken nails had
been put into the lock so that he could not open the
door. On the following Sunday, the defendants,
with about 70 other persons, again'refused to let
him enter the church, and he then withdrew to
avoid any dispute. For these offences the defendants
were summoned before the tribunal, and the Public
Prosecutor pressed for a conviction under Art. 261
of the Penal Code. The tribunal, however, decided
that the article in question only applied to disorderly
conduct inside the church, and accordingly acquitted
the defendants, after severely reprimanding them
for their conduct.

The Court of Assizes of the Enre has just tried a
man named Tainard, manager of the Discount B ank
of Pont-Audemer and Louviers, on numerous
charges cf embezzlement and falsifying the tic.
counts for the purpose of defrauding the share-
holders. It appears from the indictment that
the prisoner, who was well-known for his skill
in the banking business, having been employed
for many years in first-rate houses, formed a
joint-stock company in" 1852 for the purpose of
founding a discount bank at Pont-Andemes under
the name of Tainard and Co., of which he under-
took the management. On the 22d December,
1862, the company was declared bankrupt by the
Tribunal of Commerce, and the liabilities were
found to be 700,000 fr., while the assets were barely
50,000 fr. The prisoner was arrested the same day,
as it was evident that fraud must have been prac-
tised, since the bank had al ways appeared to be a
flourishing concern, and had regularly paid divi-
dends to the shareholders. A public accountant
was appointed to examine the books, which he
found to be in a most confused state. After 18
months' labour, the accountant presented his report,
from which it appeared that the books had been
first, and that
concern. The

yearly loss was proved to be 65,000 fr. on an average,
but the balance sheet presented to the shareholders
always appeared to justify the declaration of a divi-
dend. The counsel for the prisoner argued that
there had been no fraudulent intention on the part
of his client, who had
vigorously struggled against
iii fortune, and had only misrepresented the state
of the bank in the hope that he should at last be able
to retrieve all past losses. After hearing the Pro..
cureur-Imperial, who pressed for a conviction, the
jury acquitted the prisoner on the charges of em-
bezzlement, but found him guilty of falsifying the
accounts and of using them for the purpose of de-
ception. The Court consequently condemned
TaiOard to five years' imprisonment, 100 f. fine, and
ten years' interdiction of the civil rights mentioned
in Art. 42 of the Penal Cade.
