SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.
WEDNESDAY.

The day after the Cambricieshlre is generally a quiet
one, but this year the unfortunate contretemps of the win-
ner's jockey not being able at first to draw his weight, and
the various pros and cons the subject has given rise to, has
tended to keep alive excitement, and some degree of un-
pleasant feeling. Lord Westmoreland, the owner of the
second horse, lodged a formal protest against the decision
of the Stewards, and the matter had not been gone into by
the Jockey Club when our parcel was despatched.
Meanwhile the morning payment on the event was sus-
pended, and speculation throughout the day was languid in
consequence. The racing was of no particular interest,
and with one or two exceptions the fields were small. Lord
Glasgow's fortune was in the ascendant, he carrying off
the Stakes named after himself with the Miss Sarah colt,
and the £5O Plate with the one by Barbatus out of Seno-
rita ; but in his match with.Lordtoventry Knowsley suc-
cumbed to Umpire, who chose to be in a good temper, and
won easily.

A long delay at the post, and an ultimately very bad
start, for the Private Handicap Sweepstakes, for three-yr-
olds, in which Juliet got an advantage of some lengths, led
to an objection against her as the winner, which was over-
ruled by the stewards.

The 2-yr-old Handicap Sweepstakes fell to Attraction,
and Countersign carried off the Subscription Plate for 2 and
3-yr-olds from a field of rather moderate performers. Capt.
Christie was again fortunate with Lord Adolphus over the
T.Y.C. There was a good race between Ely, Beatrix, and
➢iahometan as afinale to the proceedings, which was won
cleverly by Ely. The weather continues fine.

wards. Weight for age, with selling allowances. Cam-

Croagh Patrick, on the upper ground, made play, having
the Senorita colt at his girths, with Lady Abbess and Re-
set ve lying up. They ran in these positions to the bushes,
where the two latter were beaten and dropped back, and

front and made the running at a strong pace, followed by
Vandervelde, Hypatia, and Soumise to the brow of the hill,
when the winner drew away, the French representative at
the same time taking the second place, but without a chance
of reaching the leader, who won very easily by three lengths,
a like distance dividing the second and third; Wild Thyme
was a bad fourth.

Through the fractiousness of Peignoir and the anxiety
evinced by the rider of Juliet to get away, the start was de-
layed half an hour. 'When Mr. M'George lowered his flag
Juliet got away with a flying start of 10 lengths, Poland
going on second, with Lady Clifden, Cassidia, Paddy
O'Rourke, East Sheen, and Farfalla following, widely
spread, to half way down the Bushes-hill, when Paddy
O'Rourke obtained second place, but without any chance
of reaching Juliet, who cantered past the post half a dozen
lengths in advance of Mr. Robertson's horse, who was the
same distance in front of Casidia—Lady Clifden was
fourth, East Sheen and Farfalla, aide by side, were next
Poland and Peignoir were the two last, the latter being

DUBLIN, Oat. 28.

Five most respectable looking persons were placed
in the dock of the Commission Court yesterday to
take their trial on a charge of robbery. Their names
are Arthur Robert Tisdall, Eliza Tisdall, his wife,
Sarah Nesbitt, Margaret Cunningham, and Bedelia
French—Mrs. Tisdall's three sisters. There were
also arraigned with them two servants, named Mary
Kellaghy and Catherine Kelly. The circumstances
of the case are very peculiar. The prosecutrix, Mrs.
31aria Buckland, came from New South Wales
(where her husband resides) to this country about
four months ago, and in the month of July she
took lodgings in Mr. Tisdall's house, 5, Ontario-
terrace, in the Rathrnines township. She brought
with her an immense quantity of valuable pro •
perty—wearing apparel, linen, &c., contained
in 13 trunks and packing-cases. She remained
Tisdall's for six weeks,
at Mr• and during that
time she missed a quantity of goods, among
which were several silk dresses. On the Ist of
September she was obliged to go to London, and
then the female prisoners commenced a wholesale
!slander of her effects. Her boxes were broken open,
and dresses, tablecloths, sheets, &c., carried off to
the pawnbroker's, while pieces of silk and satin were
consigned to two dressmakers, to be mach into
robes for the plunderers. After 12 days Mrs. Buck
land returned, and put the matter into the hands of
the detectives. On the officers proceeding with
Mrs. Buckland to search Mr, Tisdall's house, Mrs.
Tisdall flew at the prosecutrix, struck her a dreadful
blow in the face, and threw several things at her.
A great number of duplicates were found in the
houses of the prisoners, who lived near each other,
and the officers succeeded in recovering the greater
portion of the stolen property—about £2OO worth.
The defence set up was that Mrs. Buckland had
either given the articles as presents to the female
prisoners, or in payment of an alleged debt. Judge
pris
Keogh, in charging the jury, observed that the two
defences contradicted each other, and the stolen
property was toe large and valuable to support
either ground. There being no evidence against
Mr. Tisdall, ha was discharged, as were also the two
servants, who had only taken the goods to the pawn
offices by direction of their respective mistresses.

with hard labour. They fainted on hearing the
sentence.
A Board of Trade inquiry into the circumstances
attending the loss of the ship Ganges, which was
wrecked near Cushendrin, on the Antrim coast, on
the lath of September, was commenced on Friday
at the Customhouse here. The Ganges was the
the Messrs. Martin of this city, and
;vas
property of
bound from Stranraer, is Scotland, to Quebec, in
ballast. While in Stranraer the crew became in-
subordinate and refused to sail in the vessel, alleging
that she was not seaworthy. The captain (Mr.
Thomas Hoare) took theta before the magis-
trates, who directed a survey of the vessel, which
proving satisfactory, they ordered the crew either to
proceed on their voyage or undergo 10 weeks' im-
prisonment. The Ganges sailed on the 12th of Sep-
tember and encountered very bad weather. At half
past 1 on the morning of the 18th the captain, who
had been constantly on deck for 36 hours, retired
to his cabin to take a little rest, having previously
satisfied himself as to the ship's position, and di-
rected the secoud mate (David Skeagh), who had the
watch, not to alter her course without consulting
him. That officer, however, at half-past 2, ordered
the crew to wear the ship, and in doing so she went
upon the rocks. The captain, awakened by the
shock, rushed on deck, and accused the second mate
and crew of having purposely destroyed her. He
did everything possible to save the vessel, but the
crew disobeyed him and thought only of saving
their own effects. With the aid of the Coastguard
all got safely to shore. On Monday the members
of the Court, Mr. O'Donnell, police magistrate, and
Captains Robinson and Baker, announced that they
completely exonerated the captain, and the fault, if
there was any, rested with the second mate, who
was examined, and deposed that the statement of
the captain that he told him not to wear the ship
without calling him was false ; the order the captain
gave him was not to stand to the southward of a
particular headland, which the captain pointed out
below. The wind veered to the
to him before going
south, and in order to comply with the order it was
requisite to wear. The captain (who received a
high character for ability and steadiness from the
Messrs. Martin) contradicted this statement in tote.
The Court pronounced their decision yesterday,
acquitting the captain and suspending the second
mate's certificate for 6 months.
The Corporation yesterday granted a salary of
£lOO per annum to the city analyst, Dr. Cameron,
who is to hand over to the city treasurer whatever
fees he may receive from persons who employ him
in his public capacity. The Lord Mayor was also
authorized to purchase food suspected to be adul-
terated, and to submit it to him for analyzationAja

A letter from Madrid of the 22d gives the follow-
ing account of the grand boll at the palace, in
honour of the Empress of the French :—" The
Queen and the Empress entered the ball-room at 20
minutes before 11, and were followed by the King
Consort, the Princess Anna Murat, the Infantes
Don Francisco and D on Sebastien, the Infanta Chris-
tina, the whole diplomatic body, including the Papal
Nuncio and his First Secretary Baron Civalchini,
the Charge d'Affaires of Italy, and the Count de
San Martino, vs ho represents the ex-King of Naples.
Queen Isabella was dressed in white; her rob,: was

to describe the splendid toilettes displayed on this
occasion. I must, however, be allowed to say that
the Duchess de Medina-Celi, her
sister, the Mar-
quise de Villaseca. Madame Guilhou, wife of the
Director of the General Credit Company;
the
Dachesse de La Torre, and the daughters of Gen.
ICos de Olano and of the Marquis " de Mira ores,
shone pre-eminent by the elegance of their toilettes.
The King wore the Grand Cordon of the
Legion of
Honour, and the French Ambassador the grand
Cross of Charles 111. Queen Isabella did ntitili.itc;.-
in consequence of her interesting position, and the
Empress only twice. Princess Murat was vis-a-vis
in the first with Don Sebastien and in the second
with the King. At midnight their Majesties
withdrew to the 'grand gallery, where a splendid
supper was served, and successively, and without
the slightest confusion, the whole of the com-
pany invited, 1,500 in number, took their seats at
table. After supper the Queen and the Empress
walked through the saloons, and conversed with a
number of persons. At half-past 2 their Majesties
retired, but the great majority of the company re-
mained at the palace for nearly two hours after."
The Correspondencia gives the following details of
the Empress's departure from the capital—" Her
Majesty left on the 23d for Toledo and Valencia.
At 10 in the morning the Queen left her apartments
with the Royal family, and proceeded to those of
the Empress, who, attired in her travelling dress,
was waiting for her Majesty. The two Sovereigns
at meeting showed marks of the greatest affection.
At half-past 10 the Empress, the Queen, the King,
and the Princess Murat left the palace for the rail-
way station in one of the State carriages, drawn by
eight horses richly caparisoned, followed by others
containing the persons of the Imperial suite. The
Countess de Montijo, the Infantes Dons Sebastien
and Francisco, and all the Ministers were in waiting
at the station. Before the Empress got into the railway
station Queen Isabella embraced her in the most
affectionate manner, and the Empress was moved to
tears. The train started at 11. M. Barrot, the
French Ambassador, accompanied her Majesty, and
the Marquis de Villafranca and the Count d'Alta-
mira will not leave her until she embarks on board
the Aigle. The Countess de Montijo could not go
with the Empress as far as Toledo on account of the
delicate state of her health. We hope that her Ma•
jesty will feel satisfied with the reception she has
met with in Spain, and that the Emperor Napoleon,
on hearing the details of the journey, will see how
highly Spain appreciates good allies, and how much
she values the friendship of France."

The colonelcy of the 78th Highlanders is vacant
by the death of Gen. Macneil. A Highlander by
birth and a soldier by nature, he was well worthy to be the
colonel of the Ross-shire Buffs, Who will now succeed to
he colonelcy of a regiment which, soon after it was raised,
gained the praises of Sir Arthur Wellesley at the battle of
Assay°, and which has never been degenerate ? On the
contrary, at the battle of Cawnpore, in the year 1857,
Havelock so greatly admired their courage that he addressed
to the 78th Highlanders these words, " Should her Majesty
ever be pleased to confer upon me a regiment, I shall ask,
as the greatest boon, the colonelcy of the 78th High-
landers." The hardships and the dangers which
this little band encountered under a hot July sun, on the
plains of Bengal, and the important service which it ren-
dered in quelling a frightful insurrection against almost
overwhelming numbers of mutineers, have been made known
by Marshman's "Life of Havelock," and by other books.
Never was fortitude under privation better displayed than
when Havelock's force was shut up in Lucknow. But ser-
vices well described have not been well rewarded. No clasp
has been given for the battle of Cawnpore, notwithstanding
the courage there displayed. Havelock, Outram, Neill, and
many of the heroes of Cawnpore and Lucknow are dead ;
but there are survivors of that little band who can better
tolerate the loss of health than the want of honours. A clasp
for Cawr pore, or a Companionship of the Bath for Luck-
now, would cost the country nothing. They would reward
valour, and, moreover, render not fruitless the words of the
dying hero, which have since been inscribed on the pedestal
of his statue in Trafalgar-square—" Soldiers, your labours,
your privations, your sufferings, and your valour, will not
be forgotten by a grateful country." The author of these
words, if he had lived, would have advocated their claims,
no doubt successfully ; that he would have been the succes-
sor of Maeneil, of Barra, in the colonelcy of the 78th Regi-
aenldd,

ment, less certain. Highlanders might not have wished
for their colonel an Englishman, however proud they might
have been of the aspiration of a Havelock.

the following sketch of the proceedings of the con-

simple conversations between the Ministers, who took into
consideration the memoir which Austria had sent to those
who had signed the labours Frankfort, with a circular de-
spatch dated the Bth inst., commenting on that document,
and summing up its essential points. On Friday the Mini-
sters held two official conferences; the sittings were long

to add, most explicitly in my name, and I believe
I may add in the names of the other passengers of
the • Geant,' that the narration of our second ascent
reproduced by the Independence from the La Nation,
involves only the responsibility of him who, it is
assumed, has signed it. I have many reasons for
insisting upon this point. I shall have the honour
of addressing to you very soon a tree and complete
relation of our voyage, which will be previously
submitted to the sauction of my other companions,
so as to establish a complete guarantee for its cor-

redness, and to prevent all personat exaggeration

" From the impossibility of writing at this
moment to all journals that have been kind enough
to occupy themselves with notices of our second

voyage, and to manifest a sympathy for which I am
deeply touched, I shall feel grateful to them by
their reproducing the present rectification.—l offer
you, sir, the expression of my best feelings.
