stantly pulled into the rear, and Augur gelding went on wit la
the running, the rest following in a cluster to the tut n,where
Jerry rushed ahead and remained in front past the stand,
where he was followed by Early Bird, Mistake, the Augur
gelding, Ossian, R. M.D., and Cont; alto, after passing which
Mistake went to the front ; but on the opposite side of the
course to the stand the Augur gelding resumed the lead,
Jerry going on second, Early Bird tLird, and aisian and
It.M.D. next, the two latter of whom were pulling bird.
Descending the hill, Jerry tosk a long lead, and Ossian ran
into second place, Early Bird, the Augur gelding, M'et•ake,
and RM. D. following at intervals, with Contralto beaten off.
Except that Mistake ran in front of Ossian and Contralto
was pulled up ascending the Lill, there was no variation in
the other positions until within half a mile of home, when
Ossian rushed to the front, and at the bottom of the hill,
four fences from the finish, Jerry, when close up with
Ossian, came down, and sent Mr Edwards " a purler," and
though he lay for a moment or two he happily escaped
serious injury. Ossian was then left with a long lead of
Mistake /aid H. M. D., who, however, was rapidly catching
the leader, and Tom Ablett, hardly pressing his horse, he
came down, and both horse and jockey turned a complete
somersault over the last hurdle but one, but fortunately
without injury to either. After this accident, Mistake was
left with the lead, but was being overhauled at every stride
after clearing the last jump by R. M. D., who won an ex-
citing raco by a neck. Nothing else passed the post.

State its the manner required by the Empire to maintain its
position as a Power, and eccure its inlet nal prosperity.
" It especially appears indispensable, in accordance with
the intentions expressed by your Majesty at a former period
to reduce the expenditure for the army and fleet, and this
can cnly be accomplished without danger to the country by
a successful management of foreign affairs based solely upon
the interests of the Austrian people. The changes introduced
into the institutions connected with the public lire of the
communes and countries already permit the simplification
of the State actainistration in a considerable degree.
As the Lower House considers these points of view essen-
tial in the establishment of the expenditure, it will submit
to cireful examination the bills for the regulation of direct
taxation in the iutetest of a just anl equal distribution of
the burden. The house considers it advisable to postpone
its final decision upon the admissibility and opportuneness
of settling the Budget for 1866 immediately after the
Budget for 1865 until the time when the proposition comes
in due form before its notice.
The State accounts for 1862 will undergo the constitu-
tional examination of the house—but such examinations
can only attain real importance through the law respecting
Ministerial responsibility, the prospect of which was long
since held out by your Majesty, and the Lower House con-
siders it its duty clearly and, decidedly to state that thifklaw
forms one of the most urgent items in the completion of
constitutional State institutions in Austria.
The heavy burdens under which trade suffers in the
Empire are in great part the consequences of inevitable
events. They have been, however, in no small degree in-
creased by the oscillations of the course of exchange, the
rise in the value of capital in all branches of national eco-
nomy through the necessities of public credit, and lastly the
uncertainty prevailing as to the politico-commercial rela-
tions of Austria to the other States of Germany for some

CROYDON STEEPLECHASES-TUESDAY.

The opening day of the Steeplechase Meeting at Croydon
was highly favoured with respect to weather, and the at-
tendance was very large. The sport comprised four events,
which, in the aggregate, brought out thirty-one compe-
titors, the largest field having been in the Selling Steeple-
chase, which was won by Bravo, who was afterwards dis-
qualified, the race being awarded to Dubious. The last two
events produced exciting races, and the success of the ex-
treme outsider R.M.D., an Irish horse, for the Croydon
Steeplechase Cup, was hailed with vociferous cheering by
the bookmakers, who had a very remunerative day. The
Hunters' Stakes Steeplechase was a very pretty race be-
tween the two favourites, Beechnut and Gorsehawk the
latter of whom won a capital and long-continued struggle
by three parts of a length. Appended are full particulars of
the running :

ground in Stokes Bay. The wind was light, with the water
smooth, and the machinery (by Humphreys, Tennant and
Co,) worked perfectly, Under these conditions six runs
were made at the measured mile in Stokes Bay, full boiler
power, and two runs with half-boiler power, with the fol-
lowing results :—ln six runs at full power she made 11.215,
10404, 11,356, 10 112, 11.538, and 9'756 knots. The mean
speed of the ship was 10'791 knots. With half boiler power
a mean speed of 8.400 knots was attained, The ship was
afterwards tested in making circles, which she made in
about the average time of vessels of her length, tonnage,
and engine power; and afterwards her patent capstans were
tested in weighing her anchors in the deep water anchorage
at Spithcad, in accordance with the new regulations. The
trial of the ship lasted the greater part of the day.
The Admiralty have given orders for the iron cased
frigate Prince Consort to have hor bottom coatod with the
copper and felt sheathing on the plan patented by Com-
mander Warren, R.N., as an experiment. Their Lordships
are understood to have come to the determination of giving
Commander Warren's invention a trial on the Prince Con-
sort, owing to the continuous failures of the several
pigment " preserving and anti-fouling" compositions,
from that of their own chemical assistant at Portsmouth
downwards, when applied to the bottoms of iron ships.
There is a composition, however, which has not yet found
its way into her Majesty's dockyards which is reportod
upon officially by the officers of the Trinity Beard as pos-
sessing all the required anti-corrosive and anti-fouling quali-
ties for the bottoms of iron vessels, and which is now in use
for the bottoms of the steampackets between Holyhead and
Dublin. It is said that this composition is about to be tried
on the bottom of one of her Majesty's ships at the same
time with Commander Warren's very ingenious adaptation
of copper sheathing and felt.
The Marlborough, three-decker, and Ariel, sloop, will
both be paid out of commission alongside Portsmouth dock•
yard to-morrow. During the time these two vessels, which
represent respectively the largest and smallest class of ships
in her Majesty's navy, have been dismantling and returning
their stores preparatory to paying out of commission their
crews have been granted leave ashore each night after work
was over until the following morning, and this liberal treat-
ment of the men appears to have been attended with the
happiest results. , With one or two solitary exceptions,
the men have returned from their leave each morning to
their ships soberly and respectably. The work has gone on
from day to day with great rapidity. Thera was an entire
absence of the drunkenness so prevalent among seamen in
her Majesty's navy when paying off a few years since. In
those days officers and men were by the most stringent
orders confined to their ships during the time they were
employed in stripping and clearing ship for paying off.
These tyrannical orders have been allowed to fall into dis-
use, and men arc now treated like rational beings. The
unwise policy of the old system was exemplified in the
emeute on board the Princess Royal.
The burgee of Commodore Dunlop, C. 8., superintendent
of the dockyard at Woolwich, was yesterday struck on
board the Fisgard, and was replaced for the day by the
white flag of Rear-Admiral Henry Kellett, C. 8., appointed
to the Mediterranean, to succeed Vice-Admiral Horatio
Austin, C. 8., Admiral Superintendent of Malta dockyard.
The customary salute of 11 guns was fired on the occasion
by the Fisgard, and the ft ig was again struck at sunset.
In consequence of cases having recently arisen of junior
officers and other persons connected with the royal dock.
yards being appointed members of public boards and to
parochial offices, the Lords of the Admiralty have been ad •
vised by the law officers of the Crown that persons serving
in the dockyard and other public departments are not liable
to be appointed to parochial offices, providing there are
other persona in the neighbourhood competent to fill them,
An Admiralty order has accordingly been promulgated at
Chatham directing that no person connected with the naval
establishments is to allow himself to be appointed to fill any
parochial office, and, if so appointed, he is not to take any
steps in the way of filling the same.

Harkaway showed the way, followed by Magician, Sly
Fox, Sir Bobby, Puss, and Lady Clare in close company, the
lot being several lengths in front of Telscombe, in whose
rear came Irish Boy and
Regenerator, the latter, in the first
half mile, being 150 yards in the rear. At the foot of the
hill approaching the stand, after going nearly a mile, Magi-
cian ran up to Harkaway, close behind whom were Sir
Bobby, Sly Fox, Puss, Lady Clare, and Telscombe, the lot
passing the judge's box in a cluster. Descending the hill
beyond the stand Sly
Fox took up the running, but upon
arriving in the ploughed land Sir Bobby deprived the Irish
horse of his lead, and went on at an improved pace, which
soon brought about " a tail," in which all except Puss, Sly
Fox, and Harkaway took part, Oa the opposite side of the
course to the stand Telscombe refused, and half a mile from
the finish all had
lip except Sir Bobby, who, fencing
beautifully, and going well within himself, was ahead by a
dozen lengths of Sly Fox, half a dozen lengths in whose rear
came Puss, whilst Harkaway, strong and full of running,
but outpaced, brought up the rear. Two fences from home
Harkaway was stopped, and there Puss drew upon Sly Fox,
whom she passed at the last leap ; and, though she gained
on Sir Bobby up the hill at the finish, never got up, and
was beaten easily by four lengths ; a similar distance sepa-
rated the second and third.

Redwing made play, followed closely by Bravo, Cork-
screw, and Stays, the rear lot being headed by White
Stockings, next to whom was Roodener. After going nearly
a mile, Corkscrew took up the running, having Redwing,
Bravo, and Roodener next, and Flying Spur last; but
Roodener falling at the bottom of the hill before reaching
the stand, and Corkscrew suddenly stopping on arriving at
the judge's box, notwithstanding a free application of
punishment, the lead was left with Bravo, who was never

Early Bird led to the first jump—the bank fence at the foot
of the hill beyond the stand—when theAugurgelding (whose
fighting action caused immense laughter) took a clear lead
the ploughed land, and at a slow pace carried on the run-
ning, followed by Mistake and Jerry side by side, Ossian
next, then Contralto and Early Bird,who having scrambled
over the bank fence, soon overhauled R.M.D., who brought
up the rear. This latter horse, however, was allowed to run
to the front before they had proceeded a mile, but WBB in-

THE CORNISH FISHERIES.—The St. Ives drift
boats are still catohing large quantities of pilchards
and mackerel, and occasionally a few hogsheads of remark-
ably fine herrings. Since our last notice the boats which
drove for mackerel have been especially fortunate, The
Globe brought in above I,7oo—the Leek, Emu, Boomerang,
Vivid, and Jane Hoskings have taken from 6,000 to 11,000
each—and several other boats from 1,500 to 4,000 each of
fine mackerel. All the fish were readily sold at from Ss to
10e per 120. The enormous quantity of pilchards which
was caught last month aro not yet sold ; the curers aro ask-
ing from 52s to 55s per hhd., but the buyers appear unwill-
ing to give more than 45s to 478 per hhd. Daring the past
week three vessels which loaded fish at St Ives have been
reported as having arrived at their destined ports in Italy,

reason. Indeed, on a large view, nothing can be more sa-

serving that. a considerable part of the present em cable
prosperity of the banking department is due to the dimi-

and these reductions in the active circulation, though they
'strengthen for the time the banking departments have a
grave defect. They are not to be depended on. The active
circulation comes in and goes out, according to the wants
of the country; and even the most attentive observer, with
the very best information, can hardly discover all the laws
which regulate it. You cannot know beforehand the busi-
ness, especially the petty business—for this it is which spe. ;
cially, employs bank notes—of the country, and unless you .
knew_it you could .not predict the variations in the external •
circulation. The strength of the banking department, so
fai as iris derived from this source, is not to be calculated_
upon in bearing a drain'of bullion; for when that drain has
begun the tides of trade may have taken away into circula-
tion the notes which have come in.

We cannot anticipate cheap money this sear for two
reasons—one primarily affecting the bullion account of.
the country, and the other its capital, account. First.

Birkenhead Dock Works, the yard of Messrs Laird
Brothers, and especially the ironclad Agincourt. He has
also inspected the docks and dock works on the Liverpool

THE BISHOP OF NATAL'S CASE.—The Judicial
Committee of the Privy Council have appointed
Monday, Dec. 12, for hearing the petition of the Bishop of
Natal against the deposition from the bishopric by Dr Gray,
the metropolitan of South Africa. Dr Gray will not ape
pear either by himself or counsel, inasmuch as he denies the
jurisdiction of the Judicial Committee; and Bishop Colenso
will be represented by Mr William James, Q C., Mr Fitz.
james Stephen, and Mr J. Westlake. Bishop Colenso
prays that her Majesty may be advised to declare that
he is entitled to hold his bishopric for the term of his
natural life, under the letters patent granted to him
on the 23d November, 1853; and that if her Majesty
shall see fit to refuse the relief prayed for, she may be ad-
vised to hear his petition by way of Bishop Gray's sentence
of deposition, so that he may exercise his episcopal functions
without let or hindrance. Bishop Colenso urges upon the
Judicial Committee that Dr Gray's sentence was not ac-
cording to the law of the United Church of England and
Ireland, but ineonsistent with it in the following re-
spects :-1. It professed to decide not according to the
Queen's ecclesiastical law, but according to the views of
religious truth supposed to be taught and professed by the
Christian Church in general.. 2. Because by the law of
the Church a suffragan bishop ought to be tried for au
ecclesiastical offence not by the archbishop of the province,
but by the Queen, by and with such ad vice and as-
sistance as she may require. 3. Because the See of Natal
is a donative of the Crown, and the bishop, therefore, can
be deprived by the Queen only. 4. Because the matters
published by him constituted no ecclesiastical offence. 5.
Because the Bishop of Cape Town chewed partiality in the
management of the prosecution by using private lettere. 6.
Because the recitals on which the sentence is founded are
vague, indefinite, uncertain, and wholly insufficient. 7.
Because the sentence professes to be founded ontwo charges,
one of which, namely, the depraving, and impugning,
and bringing into disrepute the Book of Common Prayer—
is not even mentioned in the citation.
