girths, made play, True Heart and Ophelia following
closely until rounding the lower turn, where David Ann
drew away and came on with a clear lead, followed by
Teddy, True Heart, Ophelia, and Sorceress, into the
straight, where Ophelia ran to the front, and challenging
her stable companion, David Ann, at the distance, the pair
ran head and head to the stand, where the latter got
slightly in front, and won an excellent race by a neck—a
similar distance separated the second and third ; the Lady
Evelyn filly was fourth, close up ; True Heart fifth, Curie

In one of the two false starts which preceded the actual
race, Acolyte struck into the heels of Heartleap and un-
saddled Edwards, who fell heavily on his back. Faith
made play, followed by Persuasion and Acolyte into the
straight, where Persuasion went to the front and held a
clear lead to the enclosure, but the weight telling she let
up Faith, who won cleverly by a length. Acolyte was
beaten two lengths from the second, and Heart-leap, who
was never in the race, was beaten off.

T.Y.C. post, where the latter dropped into the rear, Borealis
pursuing Gladstone, Trumps going on third, and Oscar
fourth. They ran with little variation to the distance,
where Borealis closed with Gladstone, and a fine race home
with the trio resulted in the victory of the Marquis of
Hastings' colours by a head. A similar distance separated
the second and third ; East Lancashire was a bad fourth,
Before the race 100 to 7 was taken about Borealis for the
St. Leger, and after her defeat 100 to 3 was offered agst her,

East Sheen and Peignoir, side by side, clear of the other
two, made play to the distance, where Peignoir shut up
on being called upon. After " the American" colours had
dropped into the rear, Hesper and Lufra challenged Mr. Geo.
Angell's filly, who giving way to Hesper in the centre of the
stand, was beaten after a splendid race by a neck. A
similar distance separated the second and third; Peignoir
beaten off.

running at a clippingpace, passed the stand clear of Change,
West End. Oldminster, Jank 3' Hearts, Blithfield, and Iso-
line, who followed in the order named. At an interval of
half a dozen lengths followed Joco, and 20 lengths from the
leader Suburban brought up the rear. Roundiag the top
turn beyond the stand, Blithfield ran into the second place,
with Change and West End side by side next, and imme-
diately after these came Oldminster, Jack o' Hearts, Iso-
line, and Joco, in Indian file. Suburban continued
whipper-in on the far side, ten lengths in the rear of every-
thing. Tourist maintained the front position until half-
way up the straight, where he gave place to Change, who
was waited upon by Oldminster and Jack o' Hearts. Old-
minster next the rails obtained a slight lead at the stand,
and won cleverly by half a length; a length separated the
second and third ; Isoline a bad fourth ; Tourist was fifth,

NANA SAHIB'S CRIMES.
RECOUNTED ANEW IN THE LONDON REVIEW OF SATURDAY,

He was not a mutineer; he had taken no oath of military
fidelity to our standard; he had, as he thought, rightly
wrongly, private griefs which justified his participation ier
the revolt. The adopted son of the late Peiehwah of the
Mahrattas, none would have judged him severely for em-
bracing a favourable opportunity of restoring the fortunes
of his fallen house. We might, indeed have blamed the folly
of our Indian statesmen who left the stronghold of Bithoor
in possession of one to whom .they had refused the pension
and the territorial independence which he thought his right
as heir, by Hind oo law, to Badjee Rao. Bust we could scarcely
have wondered that a policy which injured and wounded,
while it left the power of retaliation, should have produced
its natural results. It is not, however, for deeds done in
the field—for acts of manly and. open hostility—that we
have hunted this miscreant for six long years with untiring
pertinacity, and now experience a stern satisfaction at his
certain doom. Why we have acted thus, and still feel that
no interval of time can obliterate the recollection of his
crimes, or eecure for them the contemptuous pardon of
oblivion, will be best thou n by a brief retrospect of those
events which struck us with horror in 1857, and in which
he was the principal actor.
About six miles from Bithoor, on an inland peninsula,
formed by the confluence of the Ganges and the Jumna,
stands the town of Cawnpore. Originally the harbour of
Thuggee, of deadly wolves and snakes, it was, prior to our
occupation of the Punjab, the chief military station in
India. It was still the seat of a principal command when
the mutiny broke out. The balls, the private theatricals,
the varied amusements, with which the officers diversified
the monotony of garrison life, made it a place of gay resort
for all the English within reach. Amongst the most con-
spicuous and popular members of the society thus collected
was the Rajah of Bithoor. He affected a jovial bearing,
ostentatiously adopted English opinions and habits, and
supported a lavish hospitality by means of the great wealth
he had inherited from the late Peishwah. How long he
had nourished the designs which he subsequently endea-
voured to carry out, will probably never be known ; but it
has been plausibly suggested that they were inspired by his
secretary, Azimoola Khan, who returned from a mission to
London immediately after the unsuccessful assault on Sebas-
topol, in 1855. We know that this man visited the Crimea
expressly to see " those great Roestrunis, the Russians,
who have beaten the English and French together;' and
it is said that, after he had joined his master, they both
adopted a somewhat contemptuous bearing towards the
Europeans. Although he had no doubt been for some time
cognisant of, if not an accomplice in the Sepoy plot, Nana
Sahib retained his mask to the last. When the news of the
mutiny first reached Cawnpore, he made emphatic protesta-
tions of his fidelity—and so entirely was he trusted, both
by Gen. Sir H. Wheeler and by the civil authorities, that
they actually arranged to send the women and children to
Bithoor as a place of safety. Nay, more, when the rebels
arrived before the place, a plan was concerted by which the
Rajah was to fall upon their rear with 1,500 horse. He
did not indeed long delay his march, but immediately he
arrived in sight of the doomed garrison he put himself at
the head of the besiegers. For three weeks he pressed the
attack in vain ; but no aid arrived, and at last the Eng-
lish commander, whose provisions were almost exhausted,
was compelled to surrender. The officers charged with
the settlement of terms of capitulation were received by
Nana Sahib with courtesy, and even with a show of kind-
ness. He pledged himself by a solemn oath to spare
the lives of the garrison; he promised to allow
them to retain their arms and a lac and a half of rupees,
and to forward them in boats to Allahabad. On the next
day our countrymen and countrywomen were marched down
to the river side. The men only were embarked; the women
and children, between 200 and 300 in number, remained on
shore. The moment the dinghies were fairly out in the
stream, Nana Sahib ordered his gnus to open fire upon
them. Some were drowned, some were shot—a handful
reached the shore only to be cut to pieces by the sowars
under the eye of their chief. One boat ascaped for ten
miles, but it was eventually stopped, and those oa board
were brought back, and put to a lingering death. Most
were hacked limb from limb. Several were strapped naked
on boats, and set adrift upon the current, in order that their
corpses might bear to the English at Allahabad the first
tidings of the fall of Cawnpore. Of many of those thus
slaughtered had Nana Sahib been the familiar companion
—their friendly host or their favoured guest I This was
followed by the murder, in cold blood, and in the pre-
sence of the Rajah, of 126 men, women, and children,
who were captured while flying in boats from Futteghur.
But even such deeds as these pale before the final atrocity.
After the massacre of the men who had surrendered under
the capitulation of Cawnpore, the women and children—
with General Sir H. Wheeler—were taken back to the can-
tonments. There they were kept under strict surveillance
and on prison diet for some weeks. At last, on the 16th July
it became evident that the place could no longer be held
against Havelock, who was pressing the siege vigorously.
On that day the women and children, with the aged Gene-
ral, were literally butchered (by the order of the Rajah and
it is believed in his presence) by men who were brought from
the shambles of Cawnpore, and used the instruments of their
brutal trade. When the English troops entered the place on
the following day, they found the yard in which the prisoners
had been confined two inches deep in the blood of these un-
resisting victims. They sought in vain for the false friend,
the forsworn enemy, the torturer of brave men, and the
ruthless murderer of helpless women and innocent children.
Nana Sahib had fled with the plunder of the treasury to the
fortress of Bithoor.

The supply of oats on sale in to-day's market was only
moderate, and in very middling condition. Owing to their
scarcity prime breeds were taken off freely, at in some in-
stances an advance in the quotations, compared with Mon-
day, of 2d per 81bs ; otherwise, the beef trade was inactive,
at late rates. The extreme top price was 4s 10d, and the
more general quotation 4s Sd per 81bs. Sheep, the show of
which was rather limited, commanded more attention, and
prices had an upward tendency. A few very superior
Downs realised os 2d per Sibs. Lambs sold briskly, at 4d
per 81bs more money. The supply was limited. Calves
