ments, and a very few private carriages, and nothing
re-
Malned but a motley coPection of post-chaises, gigs, deg-
carts, and even London cabs.
The whole affair was cold and Comfortless, and so far in
utimn with the reflections that could not fail to arise our
the dispersion of what Tattersall (albeit, no great orator)
very truly described as "the most splendid stud in Europe."
The extensive stud, about which so much Ino been said
and written during the last six or eight weeks, catne to the
hammer yesterday, in the Hampton Court paddocks,baving,
like the late Sir Mark Wood's, excited extraordinary inte-
rest both at home and abroad. The company present in-
cluded some noblemen and gentlemen influentially connected
with the turf, some foreign breeders and " commissioners,!'
and a very large proportion of trainers, breeders, grooms,
and others interested in the sale, either personally or from
mere curiosity. The weather during the sale was favourable
over head, but the rain in the early part of the morning made
many wish that the auction had been at Garraway's, the
Mart, or any place rather than the wet paddock—certainly
not the pleasantest place in the world to stand in for nearly
six hours. A good deal has been said about the propriety, in
a national point of view, of disposing of till stud at all, and
strong efforts were made to induce the Government to take
measures for its continuance. Without entering into the
question as to whether her Majesty's Ministers were right
in resisting these efforts, it is clear that the executors of Mil-
barn the Fourth had no option but to sell, and that, as \op-
veral interests were concerned, they adopted the most pru-
dent and productive course by making the sale public. The
catalogue contained 81 lots, viz., 43 brood mares, 31 foals,
five stallions, and two half-bred two-year-olds. Of the
mares the best priced lots were Nanine (dam of Glaucus),
Fleur-de-lis, Scandal, Wing's (Caravan's dam), Young
Mouse (the dam of Rat-trap), the Oscar mare (valuable as
well for her shape as her " family connexions"), La Dan-
sense, Gulnare (winner of the Oaks, when the property of
the Duke of Richmond), Lady Emmeline, &e. Fleur-de-
lis was purchased by George the Fourth from the late Sir
M. Ridley, and was very successful as a racer, bath before
and after she changed masters. She goes abroad—to France,
we believe ; if so, her descent from Bourbon will per:laps
get her snug quarters in the royal stud. We are also in-
formed that Wings, Rachel, Sarah, Locket, La Danseuse,
Elizabeth, Maria, Black Daphne, and Mi's Clifton,,avere
purchased to go to. France, Spain, and Germany. 'The
young stock, having recently been, wearieJ, and some of
them affected by the influenza, did not look well ; the best
of them that out of Wings had suffered so severely as to
go blind, his price being thereby reduced from 300 or 400
to 46 gs. The stallions excited great interest ; the first put
was The Colonel, bought of the f-lon. E. Petre, after winning
the St. Leger, for 4,000 gs. He broke down at Ascot in
1831, after running a dead heat with Mouchc, and it is a
proof of the excellence of George the Fourth's judgment
that when he first saw him after the purchase he pointed
out the leg in which he would fail. He fetched four or five
hundred guineas less than was expected, and goes from
Hampton Court to labour in his vocation at Mr. Tatiter-
sail's, Dawley, near Uxbridge. He is the sire of Cobhant,
winner of the two-year old stakes at Doncaster, D'Egville,
winner of the Prendergast stakes last week, and many other
winners. Actaeon, bought of Lord lielburne for 1,000
guineas, remains in England for the present, but is expected
to go Russia ; the black Arabian goes to Germany, and
his bay companion to France—they brought excellent
prices ; the two last colt foals and the filly out of Espag •
nolle go abroad. The general produce of the sale, which
surpassed the most sanguine expectations, was as follows :
—Brood mares, 9,568 guineas ; colt foals, 1,471 guineas ;
filly foals, 1,1E2 guineas ; the stallions and two half-bred
colts, 3,541 guineas. Total-15,692 guineas. In sub-
joining a list of the various lots and prices we are unable to
give the names of the purchasers, nearly the whole of the
lots having been bought on commission :

Count Conigsmark, the Prussian Ambassador,
lately riding out with his lady at Constanstinople, met the
Sultan, and was going, with his company, to turn into
another road, when the Sultan sent an officer of the Court
to invite him to draw near. On this occasion the persons
accompanying the Minister, and first of all his lady (of the
family of Von Bulow), were presented to the Sultan, and
most graciously received by him, a very uncommon circum-
stance.

A numerous meeting of owners and occupiers at
Halsted, i❑ Essex, has been held, to consider the best moth:
of preventing the recurrence of fires, by incendiaries, which
have of late been so frequent in that part of the county,
and to adopt measures for the apprehension of such offenders.
It seemed to be the impression of the majority of the meet-
log that the fires were by no means the result of. any ill
feeling nith regard to the poor law, or the administrators of
it. Mr. Vescy, an extensive farmer at Halsted, said the
best feeling prevailed at all the fires, and expressions of
contentment were heard among the poorer classes, unlike
those which were heard in other parts of the county on
milar occasions. It was, in his opinion, the work of porno
r)litary individual, without any real motive, as in the in.
stance of the man who confessed having occasioned 13 fires
in Cambridgeshire to obtain 7s. 6d. A committee was ap-
pointed to consider the measures that it might be advisable
to adopt.
