marked towards the individual who attempted it. The
more ordinary, and by far the safer method of proceeding is
this, to run your horse outof condition ; to run him at a time
when, from whatever, circumstances, he is quite incapable
of winning. Knowing your horse and yourself, of course,
you will not have backed him for a shilling ; on the con-
trary, if thoroughly regardless of your character, you may
have safely laid against him. This is done daily, horresco
referees, and it is repeated consistently with the same horse
until the private friends of the owner aro told that " this is
his day," this is his journey." Need we say that upon this
understanding' the money is heaped on, a good jockey is put
up with a sufficiently broad hint as to the fact, and " that
brute" which has been beaten in half a dozen handicaps
when he was not backed, andbyrepeated failure has reduced
his weight to the minimum, and the odds against him to
the largest on record, canters in a winner with any number
of pounds in hand.—Fraser's Magazine for December.

SALE OF LORD STAMFORD'S RACING STUD.
The announcement at the close of the Houghton Meet-
ing of the retirement of Lord Stamford, and the consequent
dispersion of his large establishment, can hardly be said to
have taken people by surprise. That portion of the com-
munity who take an interest in the turf and its affairs had
on more than one occasion predicted the period when the
event would occur, and the prophecy, like others of both
larger and smaller moment, has fulfilled itself in due time.
Lord Stamford's horses in training were yesterday brought
to the hammer at Newmarket by the Messrs. Tattersall.
That eminent firm has presided over the sale of larger
collections of blood stock, but rarely one on which so much
interest has been centered, and which contained animals of
such high reputation, and charged with such pecuniary re-
sponsibility. Sixty-seven horses of the best blood in Eng-
land, the descendants of sires and dams whose names have
become "household words," and with engagements amount-
ing to nearly £lB,OOO, were to be disposed of without
reserve,
We need scarcely say that the attendance was commen-
surate with the importance of the sale, and that represen-
tatives from many Continental nations, in addition to the
well-known faces of English breeders and trainers of every
class, surrounded the rostrum of the auctioneer.
The commencement of the sale was not marked by any
brisk bidding, the Avenger, once the Leger favourite, only
realisingwhi a magnificent animal for
refused 450 a short time since,
was knocked down at 300. Onesander was the first which
realised a good price, falling to Mr. Wadlow's nod at 1,000
eh
r2doo Stamford 200—while ile Helper,had
guineas. Gemma was the subject of some spirited compe-
tion, Mr. Ten Broeck ultimately securing her for £750. It
was, however, in the highly-engaged two•yr-olds and year-
lings that the great interest of the sale centred, and among
the former, Gownsman and Guardsman having been the
subject of keen competition between Lord Burleigh, Mr.
Naylor, Mr. Ten Broeck, and Mr. Morris, attention was
riveted on Cambuscan, generally supposed to be the best of
his lordship's young ones. He looked as well as possible,
and has thickened and much improved since his perform-
ause in the July Meeting. Pat up at 2,000, Lord William
Paulett speedily ran him up to 2,700, when, after a slight
check, Captain White and Lord Burleigh brought him to
5,000. he falling to the last-named nobleman for 6,100.
Acolyte despite his being declared amiss by Mr. Tatter-
sall, sold for 800, while the handsome Battaglia, to our
thinking, one of the finest-looking of the lot, only realised
the comparatively low figure of 470.
The yearlings, taken as a whole, were very fine-looking
and promising, and, as will be seen, some of them fetched
enormous prices. The contest of the day was between Capt.
White and Mr. E. Parr, the latter bidding for Lord St.
Vincent for the possession of Archimedes, with engage-
ments amounting to upwards of 2,500 guineas. A very fine
racing-like looking animal he was, and he was knocked
down to Captain White for the very large sum of 3,000
guineas, a prico that has never been excelled, or indeed
approached. Hydaspes brought 1,350, and worthily wound
up the proceedings, thus terminating a day's sale that
will be long remembered. The total realised was upwards
of 28,000 guineas. We append a list of buyers and prices :

move, and it was evident at last that I had left the
city of lanterns and was on my way to St. Peters-
burg, that the youthful guardsman thought of

quitting the station.
The Russians having neither principles of their
own nor respectable precedents in their own history
on:which to ground such conduct, Ere always askieg

what foreigners placed in the same circumstances as
themselves would do. As regards England, I do not
think an officer in her Majesty's Guards would much

like the task of knocking up an obnoxious cor-
respondent of the Journal des Debuts at half-past 6
in the morning in order to see that he got away by
the train at half-past 8. But the fact of turning
()It a correspondent at all who, according even to
the Russians, has sometimes told the truth when it
was, comparatively speaking, to their advantage
that the truth, and nothing more than the truth,
should be known as to their doings in Warsaw—this
fact denotes such a consciousness of general bad be-
haviour on the part of the Russian Govern meta, such a
conviction that its deeds will really not bear the light,
that one cannot help pardoning the Government,
in an intellectual point of view, a little natural folly,
quia multum peccavit. If it did not feel very guilty
it would like the plain truth to be written from the
scene of its action, instead of the exaggerations and
even calumnies (especially as to the personal con-
duct of Count de Berg) which are so constantly put
into circulation by journals having neither the means
nor the desire to obtain accurate information from
Poland. When Count de Berg is said tohaveagiary
foughtn
a duel with one of his officers upon an imaginary
and impossible ground of quarrel, or when he is
accused of having threatened to put a lady to the
torture, then his brother, the Consul-General in
London, has an opportunity for calling:attention:to
the misstatements of the so-called " friends of Po-
land," who among them have certainly contrived to
damage very seriously the character of the Poles
for veracity, and have reduced the value of a Polish
almost to the level with that of a Russian report.
As to the sudden and arbitrary arrest, every night,
upon mere suspicion, of numbers of innocent per-
sons; as to the exile to Siberia of men against
whom not one-particle of evidence can bo adduced,
and who, as the Warsaw correspondent of the Golos
has been imprudent enough to admit, are sent out
of the country because they persist in making no
avowals,—as to these and other similar matters the
Consul-General has to be silent.
Perhaps, after all, the Russians are right in con-
sidering that falsehoods and exaggerations, provided
they be sufficiently gross, do them less harm than
simple incontrovertible statements of facts. At
least tfiey like the truth to be studied from a dis-
tance ; and as it is next to impossible to find out at
St. Petersburg what is really taking place at War-
saw, they may imagine that a correspondent sta-
tioned here will fall into just such errors as Count
de Berg's brother loves to expose. Otherwise, to
be sent from a city of grief like Warsaw to a city
of pleasure like St. Petersburg is a punisment that
most persons would be able to bear, just as a child
could bear very well to be sent by way of reproof
from the study to the drawing-room.
In conclusion, and without saying anything for
the present about my last impressions of Warsaw,
may mention that when I received notice to 'qui

:he general subject of conversation in Warsaw was
the fate of M. Rawicz, one of the principal pro-
prietors of Lublin, and a leading member of the
National organisation in that province. Every one
was aware that great exertions had been made to
save him, and, as the Poles with naivete remarked,
he had really done good in joining and moderating a
Government which, wherever men in M. Raw icz's
position kept aloof from it, fell into deplorable ex-
cesses. This argument was of course not likely to
have any effect upon the Russians, except, indeed,
to render the execution of the prisoner more certain.
Nevertheless, they forgave him the capital offence.
His friends procured a commutation of the original
sentence, and I was just noticing this fact in a let-
ter for publication when I was interrupted by the
visit of the colonel, and compelled by the nature of
his invitation to make preparations for a long

Journey.
I have now to add that the order commuting the
sentence arrived in Sielce the day after M. Riwicz
was hangei. In such a case as this the telegraph
might have been worked to advantage, but then the
Government would not have been able to show itself
at the same time unmerciful to the prisoner and
merciful to the prisoner's friends.

WARSAW, Nov. 22.
The Dziennik says that the system introduced
ander the Wielopolski Administration, of contra-
dicting false news published by foreign newspapers
respecting events occurring at Warsaw, is again to
be brought into play. The Dziennik will not, it
says, refute the entire mass of nonsense which for-
reign journals now publish, but will, from time to
time, categorically refute some of the most atrocious
falsehoods, and thus place the facts in their true
light. First of ell, the story published by the Czas,
of a pregnant woman having been beaten because
she did not carry a lantern, is a pure invention ac-
cording to the Dziennik; for such an offence a e
punishment is merely detention till the next day.
It is also stated to be false that women have been

Achilles and Patroclus stamp, while he had found
that they were a base people of boors, cowardly,
