SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.

Time was when the Houghton was considered to be the
finale of the season. Horses were " turned up," jockeys
had rest from their labours until the Craven Meeting, and
the curtain was supposed to have descended on the racing
exhibitions of the year. Bat, although this is still in some
measure the case, the rule no longer holds. Towns unre-
cognised by our grandfathers as centres of racing now pro-
long the season with autumnal gatherings, and Wcrcester,
Liverpool, Shrewsbury, and others of lesser note nut forth
attractive bills of fare, and, by ingeniously dovetailing a
little steeplechasing with the more legitimate features of
the sport, contrive to keep the great desideratum of the
present day—speculation—alive, and help the industrious
speculators over the dull season of winter. How far this
extension of the season is productive of good to the Turf
is not our province here to inquire. We only record the
tact.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

CHARING-CROSS (CITY EXTENSION).
Yesterday workmen commenced sinking the cylinders for
the central piers of the bridge between Bankside and Can -
non.•street, City. The ether cylinders, on the south side, are
completed, and the land abutment is more than half finished.
The viaduct thence through the Borough-market is also
eommenced, together with the demolition of a vast mass of
property to make way for it. The bridge, though the same
in design, will be 12 feet wider than that at Charing-cross,
so as to accommodate five instead of four lines of rails, and
it is understood that application will be made to Parliament
for a public passenger-way on each side of it, similar to that
at Charing-cross, to accommodate the Borough traffic and
relieve London-bridge.

SAMBRE AND MEUSE.

The report of the directors states that notwithstanding
the reduction which has necessarily been made in the price
of transport, the increase of receipts over the corresponding
period of 1862 is £3,273, but the increase in goods carried
amounts to 52,000 tons, or 22 per cent., of which 13,745
tons were caused by the carriage of coals to Vireux, while
],089 tons accrued from traffic carried to and from the
Chimay line. The increase in the number of passengers
was 9,753, though a diminution in the mileage of passenger
trains to the extent of 2,943 miles has taken place. The in-
creased traffic has caused an addition to the working ex-
penses of £2,284, as compared with those of the correspond-
ing half of 1862, a material item being the toll paid to the
Belgian Government and Ardennes Railway. The direc-
tors propose to pay a dividend of 3s. per share on the 23d
of November, provided the necessary number of share-
holders and amount of capital be represented at the meeting
of the company, to be held in Belgium. The construction
account shows that £1,113,706 had been expended. The
revenue account for the half-year ending the 30th of June
shows that £36,948 had been received and £21,826 expen-
ded, leaving a balance of £15,122.

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road,
in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail-
way Terminus, at King's-cross.
Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCII, K.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq. _

• . _
This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
II%.A.RNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing; cases that
daily present themselves.
Contributions are received by the Treasurer, Edward

LIFEBOAT SERVICES.

MIMS°, CAITHNESS-SHIRE, Dec. 12.

This morning, while the wind was blowing very hard
from the W N.W., the bark Graces, of Shields, was ob-
served in the bay with a signal distress flying. The life-
boat of the National Lifeboat Institution at once put off to
the assistance of the crew, and succeeded in bringing the
whole of them, consisting of 15 men, safely ashore. The
vessel was dragging her anchors when the lifeboat was
launched. It is however hoped that she will be ultimately
saved. The expense of this excellent lifeboat was presented
to the society by A. W. Jafpay, Esq., of London.
IRVINE, AYRSHIRE, Dec. 12.
_ _ _

While it was blowing a gale from the W.S.W., and a
heavy sea running, on Monday, the smack Lewis, of and
for Campbelton, attempted to take the bar with the ebb tide,
but got amongst the rocks at the entrance of the harbour.
Seeing the imminent peril in which the crew were placed,
the lifeboat belonging to the National Institution was forth-
with manned and launched. The smack was in a very
dangerous position amongst the broken water, but fortu-
nately the lifeboat succeeded in saving the crew of three
men, although the mate was severely hurt in getting into
the boat. The cost of this lifeboat was the gift to the in-
stitution of Miss Pringle Kidd, of Lasswade Bank.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day.

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)

THE FORGERIES ON THE EARL OF WESTMORELAND.
Frederick George Heatley, who described himself as a
captain in the army, was indicted for forging and uttering
two bills of exchange for £l,OOO each, also one for £5OO,
purporting to be drawn and accepted by the Earl of West-
moreland, the Earl of Uxbridge,and the Marquis of Angle-
sey, with intent to defraud, &c.
Mr. Lewis appeared.for the prosecution, and Mr. Sleigh
defended the prisoner.
The facts connected with these forgeries have already
appeared a, length in the Sun during the examination of
the prisoner at the Mansion-house. The prisoner, it
will be recollected, had taken the bill in question
to a discounter, representing that the several noblemen
whose names appeared on them were personal friends of
his, and that he had received the bills from them in the
ordinary way. He also represented that he held a com-
mission in the army. Suspicion having been aroused,
an inquiry was set on foot, when it was ascertained that
not only were the signatures forgeries, but also that the
prisonei was totally unknown, and had no intimacy with
either of the noblemen whose names he had forged.

At the conclusion of the examination of witnesses,

Mr. Sleigh addressed the jury for the prisoner, admitting
at the commencement of his address, that he could not
struggle against the uttering.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
Sentence deferred.
THE WATERLOO-ROAD MURDER.

In the case of Samuel Wright, who stands charged with
the wilful murder of Maria Green alias Fanny Wright, with
whom he cohabited at No. 11, Waterloo-road, on Sunday
morning last, and who was yesterday committed from the
Southwark police court for trial, that Mr. Sleigh has been
instructed by the court to conduct the prosecution. Unless
any application is made for postponment, the trial will take
place to-morrow before one of the judges.

Convents in the Danubian Provinces,

The following is the text of a despatch from
Prince Gortschakoff to M. Novikoff, Russian
Chargé d'Affaires at Constantinople, on the sub-
ject of the property of the conventual establish-
ments in the United Danubian Provinces :
St. Petersburg, Oct, 1, 1E383.

The archimandrite Nylos, charged by the orthodox com-
munities of the East with the task of pleading before the
Imperial Cabinet of Russia the cause of their property in
the Principalities, has arrived at St. Petersburg, after hav-
ing fulfilled a similar mission at Paris and London.

We were already in possession of sufficient information
as to the extent of the arbitrary measures taken by Prince
Couza's Government with the view of ultimately arriving
at the confiscation of the property of the Church, and more
recent facts communicated to us by the archimandrite tTylos
have only confirmed our view as to the illegality of the pro-
ceedings of the Prince's Government.
We have consequently nothing to add to the apprecia•
Lions contained in the instructions with which you have
been furnished on that subject. We shall continue to con-

At the half-yearly meeting of the Ceylon Com.

of the company has largely increased since
the last general meeting, and the reports received
from the managers in Ceylon and Mauritius are
most satisfactory. Thu accounts show that the
amount of profit resulting from the operations of
the half-year may be justly estimated at £7,550,
out of which the Directors recommend that an
interim dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per
annum on the capital paid on the 30th September,

Chargé d'Affaires at Constantinople, on the sub-
ject of the property of the conventual establish-
ments in the United Danubian Provinces :
St. Petersburg, Oct. 1, 1683.
•

The archimandrite Nylos, charged by the orthodox com-
munities of the East with the task of pleading before the
Imperial Cabinet of Russia the cause of their property in
the Principalities, has arrived at St. Petersburg, after hav-
ing fulfilled a similar mission at Paris and London.
We were already in possession of sufficient information
as to the extent of the arbitrary measures taken by Prince
Cousi.'s Government with the view of ultimately arriving
at the confiscation of the property of the Church, and more
recent facts communicated to us by the archimandrite Nylos
have only confirmed our view as to the illegality of the pro-
ceedings of the Prince's Government.

We have consequently nothing to add to the apprecia-
tions contained in the instructions with which you have
been furnished on that subject. We shall continue to con-
sider the Eastern Church as the victim of an unqualified
spoliation, and on that point we adhere, as before, to the
Protocol XIII. of the Conference of Paris.
