and the attend-
ance smaller than on the first day of
the meeting. The
G recompany,atv in cehowever,n ue :Hd
anw was more select, and p
mbusiness, and gave rise to considerable betting. The Emperor
and Empress arrived early in an open carriage, attended by
imparted
Colonel Reille, with whom his Majesty afterwards walked
about the enclosure. Prince Murat and General Fleury
also joined the imperial party in the Emperor's pavilion.
The Prix de la Ferme, which was the first event on the card,
was carried off, as was expected, by one of MM. Foroinal'e
celebrated half-breds, as much as 4
to 1 being laid in their
favour, and 2 to 1 on their coming in first and second.
Those two horses, with their stable companion, Witch,
have, however, been purchased within the last few days
by V iscount Aguado, in whose name and colours they ran
yesterday. The winner was Young Mastrillo, who thus
repeated his victory of Monday last. The great event which
followed broaght out a field of ten, including nearly
every steeplechase celebrity in France, with several horses
of merit from England. The latter appeared to be slightly
avoured by the handicapper, they being all among the light
weights. Auricula, which won the two great events at the
same meeting and over the salvo
favourite, 3to 2 being with difficulty obtained. The heavy
weight which he carried as a penalty for his previous suc-
cesses, and the pace at which the race was run, however,
told on him, and he was beaten at the last mile by an Eng-
lish horse—Pineapple—to which
.he gave 201bs. The winner
had not run before in France, and his being unknown may
perhaps account for the advantageous place which he occu-
pied in the handicapping, and the long odds laid against
him. He was the winner of the great steeplechase handicap
at Lincoln, in spring last, and afterwards ran second to
Emblem at Cheltenham. The present race was one of the
best contested steeplechases ever witnessed ; a good portion
of the horses ran together well to the finish, and at the win-
ning post a couple of lengths only separated the leading four,
after a course of between four and five miles with about 40
jumps. The officers' race, with which the business of the
race terminated, was a hollow affair, Valentino running
alone from first to last.—Galignans.
ADELA CATHCART. By George Mae Donald, M.A.,
Author of "David Elginbrod," &C. Three vole.—Many
men, many minds, may be truly applied to novel-readers.
Some require sensational tales, some require conic reading,
some require instruction combined with amusement, and all
require entertainment, light and pleasant reading, with
sufficient of interest in the plot to keep their attention from
flagging. It would not be going too far to say that all these
requisites are comprised in Mr. Mac Donald's excellent
book,— Observer.

Lifeboats and the Royal Family,

The Rev, E. Hewlett, of St. Paul's, Manchester,
and R. Whitworth, Esq., have collected nearly the
cost of four lifeboats, which are to be placed under
the management of the National Lifeboat Institu-
tion. An application was made by Mr. Hewlett to
his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales that one of
the lifeboats which was to be sent to Berwick-on-
Tweed, might be named after the infant Prince,
the " Albert Victor." To that application the fol-
lowing gratifying reply has been received :

" Sandringham, King's Lynn,
April 2, 1864.

" am directed by the Prince of Wales to
inform you that his Royal Highness is much grati-
fied by the proposal of the South Manchester branch
of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution that
their new boat should be associated in name with
the infant prince, and that he wishes her all sue-
cess.—l have, &c., HERBERT FISHER.
Rev. E. Hewlett.

With the spacial permission of the late Prince
Consort, the Padstow lifeboat of the institution was
named the Albert Edward, after thePrinoe of Wales,
who is also the Duke of Cornwall. By a singular
and happy coincidence, that lifeboat was the means
of saving four poor creatures from an inevitable
death on the very day that the Prince attained his
majority.

HEALTH OF THE METROPOLIS.

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.)

The total number of deaths registered in the week that
ended last Saturday was 1,679. The average number for
the 13th week in ten years, 1854.63, is, with a correction
for increase of population, 1,517. The actual result is
therefore in excess of the estimated number by 132.
The deaths of young persons—viz., those under 20 years
of age—were numerous. They rose to 813, which is higher
than the number returned in any week, with only one ex-
ception, during the present year.
The deaths from pneumonia, or inflammation of the
lungs, rose to 122, which is more than they had been in
any of the eight previous weeks, while the corrected ave-
rage is 107. Phthisis was fatal in many cases ; 214 deaths
were referred to it, and 215 to bronchitis, the averages for
these two diseases being respectively 174 and 162. Seventy-
nine children died of whooping-cough, all of them under 10
years, and a great majority under two years of ago. No
less than six deaths from whooping-cough were in Lime-
house. Out of 55 deaths from measles, five occurred in the
east sub-district of Islington.
Five fatal accidents on the streets by waggons, cabriolets,
or rather carriages were recorded in the week.
A. child died from having swallowed a halfpenny a year
previously ; it caused enteritis and marasmus.
A woman, aged 40 years, died in the workhouse, West-
minster, on the 18th ult., from " destitution and low fever."
The widow of a bricklayer, died on the 25th ult., at 4,
Acorn-street, St. Botolph, from " dropsy, accelerated by
want of proper nourishment."
Last week the births of 1,072 boys and I,oBllgirls, in all
2,153 children, were registered in London. In the ten cor-
responding weeks of the years 1851 63 the average number
(corrected) was 2,161.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of the barometer in the week was 29.439 in. The reading
fell to 28.93 in. on Monday, and rose to 29.85 in. on Saturday.
The mean temperature of the air in the week was 41.0 deg.,
which is 2.2 deg. below the average of the same week in 43
years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The lowest night
temperature was 28.9 deg. on Sunday. The highest day
temperature was 54.4 deg. on Saturday. The range in the
week was therefore 25.5 deg. The mean daily range was
17.0 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point
temperature and air temperature was 7.6 deg. The mean
degree of humidity of humidity of the air was 75, complete
saturation being represented by 100. The directions of the
wind were south-west and north-west. The whole amount
of rain was 0.42 in., which fell on three days. There were
occasional hail showers, and thick snow fell early on the
morning of Wednesday. The mean of the highest tempera-
tures of the water of the Thames was 41.5 deg. ; that of the
lowest 42.3 deg.

DEATH OF MR. T. P. CocKE.—The public will
learn with regret that this gentleman, one of the last
representatives of the old school of British actors, expired at
2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, at his residence 37, Thurlee-
square. Mr. T. P. Cooke was born in Marylebone on the
23d April, 1786 ; was educated at the School of the Marine
Society ; and, subsequently entering the navy, served under
Nelson at the bombardment of Copenhagen, for which he
received a medal. His first appearance on the stage took
place at the Royalty Theatre, in January, 1801. and for
many years he was recognised as the best theatrical type of
the British seaman. His private life was blameless, and he
' took a warm interest in every undertaking for the benefit of
the profession to which he belonged. Only a few months
ago his wife died—the shock was too great for him, and it
may be said he never recovered the blow. Dying at the
great age of 78 years, he will be greatly lamented by all who
knew him as a private friend, and there are few old play-
goers who will read the tidings of his death without
emotion.

GARIBALDI'S SWELL GUIDE.—The following ob-
servations on the reception proper to be given to
Garibaldi, when he comes to London, were delivered by the
Honourable Mr. Gandaw in the smoking-room of the Ne
Plus Ultra Haw. Well, now that the fellah Gahwi-
baldi's coming heeaw we weally ought to give the fellah
a weception in some way, faw afta all the fellah's a fine
fellah in his way; a sawt of hewo. What A'm afwaid of
is, that the fellah 'll fall into the hands of the snobs. Of
cawse he must go and be glawwified by the Aldamen, and
be feasted by the Laud Maya, and pwesented with the
fweedom of the City, and all that sawt of thing; but A do
awnestly hope that he has some judicious fwend to keep
him from fwattanising with the wawking men, and the
people; because if he does that fellah will wenda it impos-
sible faw fellahs to wecognise the fellah. The wight sawt
of thing would be a dinna at the Wag and Famish and the
principal quack clubs with the officaws of the quack wegi-
ments ; to show himself at the Opwa and in Wotton Woe ;
but not much in the atweets, in fact, scassly eva to the
people, except, at the Dawby. Then, there might be a
dinna aw two at the Twafalga, and pawhaps at the Stah
and Gahtsh. He should be advised to wide, mostly, instead
of walking, and not to encourage crowds wound his hauce
in demonstwaitive upwaw ; and A should like to pwesent
him, by way of testimonial, with an eyeglass faw him to
inspect the people thwough. When he goes to dine at the
Mansion House A would have him go by wawta down the
wive, to avoid the bwutes. He should be weed down by a
picked quoo of all the quack woers, and if A could woe
myself, A shouldn't mind making one of them. If he dines
with us, A should say, let all political subjects be most
cahfully avoided, and let the convasation be westwicted as
closely as possible to gastwonomy, hances, and the faiaw
sex."—Punch.
THE LATE FIGHT BETWEEN KING AND HEENAN.
—The quarter sessions for Sussex took place yesterday, at
tne Shire-hall, Lewes, and the greatest interest was mani-
fested to hear the trial of Tom King and Heenan and others
who took part in the fight between those pugilists on the
morning of Dec. 10, near Wadhurst. All the prisoners,
except Travers and Mace, pleaded guilty. Travers and
Mace were arraigned afterwards, when Mr Roupell said the
only offence they had committed was being spectators at
the fight. The prosecution offering no evidence, the pri-
soners were acquitted. King, Heenan, Tom Sayers, and
Jack Macdonald were then bound over in their recogaisances
of £lOO each to keep the peace.
CENTRAL RELIEF FUND.—The usual fortnightly
meeting of the Executive Committee was held at
the Town-hall, Manchester, yesterday—Sir J. Kay Shuttle-
worth, high sheriff, presided. The honorary secretary re-
ported that £6,241 15s 8d had been received during the past
fortnight, and that the balance in the bank was £133,210 3s
Bd. That morning £29 8s 6d had been received from Red-
ditch and £329 Os 8d from Darlington. Mr Farnall re-
ported that there had been a decrease of persons receiving
relief in the fortnight ending March 26, from the guardians
of 27 unions, of 6,687. The hon. secretary having presented
his monthly report, Mr Farnall said, in answer to Mr Wor-
rell, that more money would be wanted than there was to
lend under the Public Works Act. If it should so happen
that, from unforeseen circumstances, certain local authori-
ties did not want the whole sum placed to their credit, it
would be very desirable for them to let the Poor-law Board
know, o that any surplus might be apportioned among
others really needing
formed, by persons it. Zr Ashton said he had been in-
upon whose testimony he could rely, of
efforts to stimulate emigration from these districte, which
he deemed of such importance to the working classes that
publicity should be given to them in order that this disclo-
sure might operate as a warning both to the agents and their
victims, or, if untrue, be authoritatively denied. He under-
stood that persons, representing themselves as agents from
some of the mills in America, were engaging people hero for
factory work in that country. Each man engaged received
a certain sum for outfit and passage money, and was required
to sign an agreement binding him to repay the advance
within a period of 90 days of his arrival in America. On
stringent measures being adopted to enforce repayment the
emigrants who had not then saved sufficient money were
induced or compelled to enlist in the army. The system was
first tried with single men, but as many.of them contrived
in some way to raise the cost of their individual expenses it
was now being applied to married men with families of chil-
dren over 10 years of age, whose emigration expenses were
much larger. Consequently men so situated had scarcely
any prospect before them but enlistment a hen pressing de-
mands were made for the repayment of the emigration loan.
After some explanations had been given of the delay in sup-
plying boots for the men employed on public works, the
committee proceeded to make grants of money to the local
relief committee.
ALEX. DUMAS is reported to have just given five
acts of a play to the Gait 6, called the "Mohicans de Fans,"
