Mr. Manning got through the preliminary business of
weighing out the 43 riders shortly before 4 o'clock, at which
hour they made their way across the heath to the Ditch
stables, where they were speedily mounted, and the signal
flag was lowered, after one or two failures occasioned by the
fractiousness of Squire Percy, at 4.17 p.m. to an admirable
start, the lot getting away nearly in a line. In consequence
of the late hour at which the race was set, and the mist that
hung over the heath, it was with some difficulty their
colours could be distinguished; but after they had run for
Db...., with Gorse. Ag,ag,
Lass, and Conqueror on the extreme loft, was onsez-ved with
a slight lead, closely followed by Bathilde, Aurelian, Gem-
ma, Lord Glasgow's two, Myrtle and Stradella, with Limo-
sina lying on the upper ground. The next division, com-
prising Exchequer, Manrico, Hartington, Optimist, Poly-
nesia, Argonaut, Lapidist, Dictator, and Queen of Trumps,
followed in a cluster, about two or three lengths in their
wake, the rear division being whipped in by Magnum
Bonum, Bedouin, and Incitatus. Without any material
change they ran thus to the New Stand, where Bathilde, in
company with Limosina. Gemma, Aurelian, Dictator, and
,
Myrtle came on in company, the former lying in the centre
of the course, having a slight lead, which she held to the
Old Duke's Stand, where Limosina joined her, followed on
the lower grcund by Gemma Aurelian,
and Hartington.
The Clarissa colt, with Myrtle and Dictator, dropped back
beaten, leaving the race with the leaders, who ran in com-
pany to the brow of the hill, where they finished a close
and exciting race home, Bathilde maintaining her advan-
tage to the end, and winning in the last stride by a neck;
Limosina defeating Gamma by a head for second money,
who finished a like distance in advance of Aurelian.
Hartington was fifth, a head only in the rear of Aurelian,
the 4-yr-old Clarissa colt sixth, and Stradella next ;
then followed Queen of Trumps, "%gag, Ace of Clubs,
Polynesia, Dictator, and Myrtle, all close together, the
rearmost lot being Exchequer, Gorse, Manrico, Optimist,
Vertumna, Fairwater, and Lady Ripon. Net value of the

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF TVORKS.

An extraordinary meeting of the board was held
yesterday in the board-room, Spring-gardens ; Mr.
Thwaites presided. The members sat for some time
with closed doors.
THE THAMES EMBANKMENT:

When the doors were opened,
Mr. LE BRETON was speaking in reference to a
suggestion in the engineer's report, that the em-
bankment on the northern side of the river should
be extended out to the second pier of Waterloo-
bridge, instead of to the first pier of that bridge, as
authorised by the Act of Parliament. He moved
that the solicitor should report to the board what
steps were necessary to extend the embankment out
to the second pier, according to the suggestion in
Mr. Baxalgette's report.

The following paragraph in Mr. Bazalgette's re-
port, referred to by Mr. Le Breton, was read by
the clerk :—" The tidal water, in passing through
London and Southwark bridges, flows with suffi-
cient velocity to keep the channel of this portion
of the river free from deposit; but when allowed to
expand and spread itself over nearly double the
width of river, as it will do at Waterloo-bridge, the
velocity of the stream is decreased,and a partial and
contracted channel for navigation is formed in the
north bend of the river, and banks and shoals are
deposited on the south side. This will continue to
be the case alter the embankment is formed, and
these evils might have been much reduced had the
embankment been extended out to the second in-
stead of to the first pier of Waterloo-bridge."

The motion having been seconded,
The SOLICITOR of the board say they must give
the usual Parliamentary notice if the proposed
alteration would affect the rights of tiny person.
Mr. ROBINSON opposed the motion, because if
they adopted the proposition of the mover, the
works would be delayed, and they would probably
have to face an opposition in parliament similar to
that already offered to the project.
The SOLICITOR said there could be no doubt that
if they extended the embankment as proposed,
every person possessing rights on the shore must
have notice.
A discussion ensued, during which it appeared
that the majority of the members were opposed to
Mr. Le Breton's proposition, and the motion was
accordingly withdrawn.
Mr. CARPMAEL moved that it be an instruction
to the engineer to prepare plans and specifications
for the execution of the works for constructing the
embankment on the north side of the Thames ac-
cording to the Thames Embankment Act.
Mr. NEWTON moved an amendment that it should
be referred to a committee of the whole board to
consider the suggestions in the engineer's report,
previous to the engineer taking any further steps.
After further discussion the amendment was car-
ried, and the board resolved itself into committee,
and the subsequent proceedings were conducted
with closed doors.

IRELAND.

DURLIN, TUESDAY MORNING.

The Clonmel Chronicle publishes the following
extraordinary account of a daring Tipperary out-
rage, of which the chairman of the county had a
narrow escape of being made the victim in open
court where he presided :

"In giving publicity to the following audacious
attempt on the life of the learned and respected
chairman of this county, Mr. Serjeant Howley, we;
in common with his very many friends, congratu-
late his worship on his happy and providenial
escape. In the course of the criminal business at
Tipperary quarter sessions, on Friday, a young
man named Richard (Joey, who aiso went by the
names of M'Donnell and Reardon, was indicted for
the larceny of two shirts. To this indictment he
pleaded not guilty. The prisoner seemed to be about
22 or 23 years old, and appeared of rather a care-
less, reckless, disposition, and during the trial he
-seemed to pay very little attention to the case.
Upon its termination he was asked had he heard
what the witness had alleged against him. In rather
..i.u.t.nvrelic Datinner he stated he had not. The
entire of the evidence was explained to him by the,
Crown solicitor and his worship, upon which he
was asked had he any questions to ask any of the
witnesses. He stated not. There was but little
difficulty in The case. No defence was tendered,
and the jury returned a verdict against the prisoner
of guilty. His worship inquired if the prisoner was
known, or if there had been any charge of a similar
nature previously preferred against him. One of
the turnkeys of Colonmel Gaol stated that Carey
had got two months at Cashel petty sessions for
having confessed himself a deserter. Sergeant
Howley sentenced him to three, months' imprison-
o.nmwsta.aisnFnmedrdaehard labour. No sooner was his sentence
uttered than, with a rapidity almost inconceivable,
and while unperceived by perhaps not more than
three ';persons in court, Carey drew back in the
dock, and, drawing his arm around flung
a stone of nearly one pound weight, with his full

strength, direct at the learned sergeant. It passed
as if out of a sling, so rapidly did it go out from the
hand of the prisoner to the place where his worship
was sitting, in the centre of a full bench of magi-
strates. The sergeant had not taken his eye off the
prisoner after sentencing him, and to this might be
attributed, under Providence, his escape ; for he
perceived the sudden movement, and, seated on a
light chair with castors, he moved back and threw

lary, and a densely crowded court. The prisoner
alone appeared indifferent at the terrible nature of
the offence he had committed. His worship ap-
peared quite gratified at the kindly feeling which
was evinced by all parties towards him, and was con-
gratulated by the flub-sheriff, on behalf of his
surrounding friends, on his fortunate escape. The
commotion in court did not subside for several mi-
' nutes, and it is worthy of remark that amongst
those who seemed most astonished and confounded
at so extraordinary a circumstance were many of
the three and four year olds,' who were at the
time awaiting their trials for different assaults, and
whose skulls, which were patched with sticking-
plaister, bore testimony of the nature
of the feuds
in which they had been engaged."

THE WAR IN AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE JURA.
LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.

The Canadian mail steamer Jura, Captain Aston,
which touched off Londonderry last night, arrived
here this afternoon. By her we receive Quebec
(
journals of the 18th inst.; Portland, 17th ; Boston
and New York (morning) of the 16th ,
inst.

were drawn in Boston and Baltimore.
A Washington telegram of the 15th says :--
"Reports prevailed en the southern side of the
Potomac yesterday evening that the enemy had ad-
vanced, and were fighting our troops at Centreville.
Prompt arrangements were made along our line to
meet emergencies, but, as no firing was heard in
that direction, the alarm soon subsided."
The City of Vicksburg is said to have sent in a
bill of damages against the Confederate Govern;
ment of 90,b00 dulluxs-for allowing it to bo bom-
herded.
It was rumoured in Memphis that Gen. Price's
adjutant had shot Gen. Van Dorn two or three days
after the fight at Corinth.
The Mobile Tribune says that place will certainly
be attacked by Farragnt's fleet as soon as he gets
ready for action, which may be looked for at any
time,

The New _York Times' Washington despatch
says:--
" There is no truth in the statement recently
published that the Secretary of the Treasury has
decided to ask a new loan for the Government."

We learn from Sharpsburg that a gentleman
who arrived there on Saturday from Richmond,
reports that there are at least 200,000 rebel
soldiers between Gordonsville and Winchester.
The railroad bridges between Staunton and Win-
chester are not rebuilt, and much embarrassment
results to the rebels in transportation of artillery
and supplies. He states that the journalists and
aristocrats of Richmond are bitterly opposed to all
overtures of peace, while the middle and lower'
classes favour such a policy, but are intimidated
into silence.

The Richmond Enquirer of the 11th says :
" There are prospects of an early peace, which
conclusion is founded on the results of the battles
in Virginia and Maryland and the campaign now
progressing. The battle of Antietam was to the
Federals the most terrible defeat of the war."

Speaking of the President's emancipation procla-
mation, the Enquirer says, it is from an anticipa-
tion of the immediate interference of other nations,
to afford the Federal Government an apology for
terminating the war. It calls for the immediate re-1
moval of the slaves from the borders by the military
force, as a measure of precaution of necessity, and
immediate provisions for their employment in the
interior by the Government, with fair wages to the
owners, in such labour and production as may meet
the exigencies of the country. The governor of Vir
ginia issued a proclamation on the 10th inst., prol
hibiting all railroads, canals, and other internal im-
provement companies in the State from undertaking
to transport salt beyond the limits of the state, un-
less made and:r some contract already existing with
the Confederate States. It also places restrictions
on the owners of salt works as to the amount they
shall manufacture.
The Washington correspondent of the Philadel-
phia North American says :
" Nothing has transpired to warrant the assertion
that an early forward movement of our army on the
Potomac is contemplated, the appearances being
directly the reverse ; nor is it probable that an at-
tack will be made until the hard frost has rendered
the roads in a suitable condition of the under-
taking. At present the roads in Virginia are wholly
unfit for an aggressive movement on either side, and
it is not likely that one at present will be made."
The New York Herald says it is rumoured that
the Hon Leonard Swett, of Illinois, has been called
to Washington, to assume a responsible position
near the President.

A New York telegram of the 16th says :
" The banks here refuse to lend money on gold,
the object being to put a stop to the speculation
therein. They have also raised the margin on stock
securities 25 per cent.
" Prince Polignac, reported to be a bearer of de-
spatches from Slidell to Jeff. Davis, was seen in this
city yesterday." _ _ _

A later despatch on the same subject says :
" the rumoured action of the banks on the sub-
ject of gold and stacks is at least premature. No
meeting has yet been held, and no such action taken,
though there is much talk on the subject, particu-
larly as regards gold. At the Stock Exchange to-
day a motion was made to expunge gold from the
list. The matter was referred to a committee, who
will probably report to-morrow."
A Washington despatch on the coming difficulty

says :
" The depreciation of paper money is incon-
veniently felt by the Government in its transactions,
including the difference in exchange, to
navy and civil expenses distant from pay the
United States notes can be made available. From
be involved
a similar cause many contractors will
in heavy heavy losses, if not bankruptcy, owing to

" There was Skirmishing yzstersiay along tht3 lines
from Harrodsburg to

trying to get out of the state. It is thought that
Bragg hurried outward because on the day ,of the
Perrysville battle he heard that Price and Van
Dorn had been beaten at Corinth, and that he could
not get reinforcements from that quarter.
" Large numbers of dead are still lying unbur.ied
at Perrysville. A rebel detachment came to tile
field under a flag of truce, saw their dead, and left
them without any attention. The guns which the
rebels took from us, and which we recovered, were
spiked with telegraph wire, which we easily re-
moved."

Marshal, with his whole force, is retreating toward
Irvin county, with General A. G. Smith after him.
''te a number of rebels, without arms, arrived at
Richmond last night, reporting that their forces
had been thoroughly whipped. They say Kirby
Smith's force, on the morning of the 15t111 was
drawn up in line of battle at Bee Hill, eighteen
miles south-east of Richmond.

General Buell's main armipasied through Crab
Orchard at 11 yesterday morning, and if unimpeded
by skirmishers must be near Rock Castle River,
while Bragg's main force is supposed to be near
London. At headquarters, as far as advised, it i s
thought Buell is pressing the enemy's rear sharply,
and that the foregoing reports relate to skirmishes
along the enemy's rear. Buell will force them to
fight or capture their whole army. S. D. Bruce,
colonel commanding at Bowling-green, says we have
thrashed the rebels at Springfield and Keysburg,
breaking up their camps.

" Thomas Can, sheriff of Fayette, brings a report
to Lexington of a heavy fight yesterday from 6 in
the forenoon till 11 at night between Lexington and
Richmond, in which the rebels were utterly re-
pulsed, they throwing away arms and accoutre-
ments by thousands. We captured a large number
of arms and quite a number of prisoners."

The Confederates were actively at work on the
Ohio River. They had captured and destroyed one
Federal mail steamer, and also sundry smaller craft.
Gen. Fremont expects soon to be in Washington,,
preliminary to his assignment to an important com-

It is stated that Jefferson Davis has issued a pro-
clamation that all Union officers captured and held,

tion is carried out.

Owing to resistance to the draft by the Irish, in
Lanzerna county, Pennsylvania, the military were
called out in the town of Blakley, and fired upon
the people, four of whom were killed.
By order of Gen. Foster an export duty of 10 per
cent. on all cotton and hides shipped from Newbian
is levied.

The returns of the elections in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, and lowa, are still imperfect. The
voting appears to have been close in some of the
States, and the result is doubtful. The Democrats
in Ohio and Indiana claim a victory.
General C. F. James, the inventor of the Jaanes
projectile, had died from a wound received from. the
explosion of one of his shells.

General Stuart's successful raid into Pennsyl-
vania continues to provoke comment. Governor
Curtin, of Pennsylvania, is very indignant at the
neglect of those who might have prevented it, or
at least stopped the retreat. In a letter on. the
subject he says he has been informed, on good
authority, that the general in command of the troops
at Hagerstown knew that the rebels had crossed the
border at ten o'clock on Friday morning. Twenty
miles by rail from Chambersburg were in Federal
possession, and a like distance by good roads, and
the rebels did not leave Chambersburg until nine
o'clock on Saturday morning, so that the whole
force could have been captured and the people of
Pennsylvania saved from the disgrace cast upon them.
The Governor desires a thorough investigation, but
the military authorities had already ordered one to
be made. In the meantime Governor Curtin is taking
active measures to protect the border from further
rebel raids.

THE INTERNAHONAL EXHIBITION.

The attendance yesterday was something better
than that of the previous day, although nothing
approaching to the "mob" which was expected,
so near the closing of the Exhibition. All hope of
a hundred thousand muster seems now tabe given
up, unless a rumour which has got into circulation
respecting the arrangements of the commissioners
should receive confirmation. We do not place much
reliance on it ourselves, but have heard it from so
many quarters that we feel justified in mentioning
it. It is, that there is some idea of keeping the
Exhibition open for another week at a charge of
sixpence each person, for the purpose of giving
even the poorest of our fellow-citizens a sight of
the Exhibition. Our only fear is that the news is
too good to he true, as there is no doubt but that
such an arrangement would be hailed with delight
by thousands -whose melns will not afford even the
present minimum. Besides as the attendance would
probably reach 100,000 a day, that supplementary
week would go far to work off the deficiency which
is at present considered probable.
The number of visitors at the Exhibition yester-

day was—
