this being a good match, as there was
a fine south-wester blowing, and as at the time of
starting it was about low water, in running to the
Nab they had the fiaod with them. Shortly before
three the vessels were seen returning from the Nab,
and still there was about a minute's difference be-
tween them, the Albertine leading by this time.
The Sultana so far had the best of it, as her larger
opponent bad to allow her 61-m. The match was
watched with great interest -at this time, to see if
the Sultana would Again beather opponent in tack-
ing, but in a short time it was evident that some-
thing was wrong on board the Albertine, and a
boat was seen to be lowered from her. As only two
men could be seen to put off in her, and as three
were soon afterwards seen to board the yacht from
her, there was little doubt but that a man had some-
how fallen overboard. The Albertine having thus
lost so much time, her racing flag was hauled down,
and she returned to Cowes, when it was stated that
the clew of the foresail had given way, and that in
repairing damages the man fell into the sea. The
Sultana continued the course, and on completing
the first round a gun from the Lotus, from which
vessel they were started, proclaimed her the winner
of the stakes, amounting, as it was understood, to
£5O, but under the circumstances it is doubtful if
her gallant owner will claim the substantial reward
of victory.
Nothing has yet been decided as to any other
contest during the week.

An attempt at murder a.. linet 101 l S
transpired in Sheffield on Monday afternoon.
The principal actor is Harvey Teesdale, come-
dian, and the intended victim is his wife. The
rarties reside in Blind-lane, and for some time
past appear to have been living unhappily together,
mutual recriminations respecting each other's con-
jugal fidelity being of frequent occurrence. The
neighbours say that both were faulty, and :that each
contributed their quota to the cause of dnmestie;
bickerings and strife. A little before four o'clock
on Monday afternoon lust Teesdale went to his
house, in company with a man. 0o arriving on the
steps of the house, it is slid, he turned suddenly.
round and struck his companion a blow in the face
with his fist, which sent him rolling into the street.
He then rushed into the house, fastened the door on
the inside, end directly afterwards the report of a
Pistol was heard. This alarmed the neighbours
and pnesere-by, and a rash was evade by several
P"rsons towards the door and the window., of twee
dwelling, which resisted their 4, fforts to force for
a few tnornents. Haypily they seen gave way,
and the house was entered. The wife was dis-
covered with her face covered with blood, and
Teesdale with his head lvtn,g back on the sofa,
in the act of drawing a razor across his own
throat. He was immediately seized, and prevented
from carrying out his suicidal design. The police
were quickly on the spot, and as the prisoner had
only inflicted a slight gash on the throat, he was at
once conveyed to the Town-hall in a cab. The uriL
fortunate woman's face was sadly disfigured, espe-
cially on the right side, but the pistol could only
have contained powder, or she must have been
killed instantaneously. She was removed to the
1 Sheffield Infirmary, where she now lies, and we
believe there is every hope of her ultimate reco-
very. It is said that the prisoner stated that only
on Monday morning he had gone down on his knees
' to his wife, and begged her to give up her present
course of life, and leave the neighbourhood in
which she was living, and that she replied that all
she wanted was to be away from him. This he
assigns is the cense of the act with which he now
stands charged. He also said that he had been
obliged to give up four theatrical engagements
lately through her conduct, and that she was train-
ing up his two girls to be as bad as herself. The
act was evidently a premeditated one if the above
statement be correct.—Sheffield Independent.

THE MYSTERIOUS PORTRAIT.- LORD
PALMERSTON Al; TER TILE SESSION.

At the quarterly meeting of the Dover Town
Council yesterday (Aug. 6), a laughable conversa-
tion occurred with reference to the portrait of Lord
Palmerston, which it appears has come to hand in a
most mysterious and unfathomable a manner ; nor
were all the efforts of the members present sufficient
to induce the Mayor (who alone possessed the key
of the secret) to unravel it. The minute upon the
"agenda paper" was, that " tbe council order an
address to the Lord Warden on the presentation to
him of his portrait by the town."
An inquiry was generally made as to where and
how the portrait in question has been obtained.
The Alayor assured the council that the town had
been put to no expense whatever in the matter, and
with this assurance they must, for the present, rest
perfectly satisfied, and not press him for any further
explanation. About the 10th or 11th of this month
he understood the House would be prorogued, and
a few days afterwards Lord Palmerston would be at
his Castle of 'cvalmer, during which time an oppor-
tunity would doubtless arise to carry out the pre-
sentation.

Mr. Worsfold—The subject is quite new to me.

Mr. Poulter—And to me.
[Other expressions of wonder were also heard at
different parts of the hall.]
Mr. Ottaway—The portrait is new, but the sub-
ject of it is not quite new.
Mr. Robinson—lt's a very old one.
Alderman Latham—We have not had a motion
of council that a portrait shall be presented to his
lordship,.
The Mayor—lt is not necessary.
Alderman Latham—But the portrait never ap-
pears to have been voted.
Mr. Robinson—You don't understand; it's a por-
trait given to the council for the purpose of being
presented to his lordship.
Mr. Worst.°id—Then the person who orders the
council to present the portrait had better order the
address.
The Town Clerk explained that the town gave
the portrait to be hung up in the Town-hall.
Mr. Smith—ls there any objection to name the
artist it, is by P
The Mayor—Yes, a great deal.
Mr. Smith—There seems to be a deal of mystery
about it.

.....„.......
The Mayor—Be satisfied that it is a very excel-
lent portrait by a first-rate artist. His lordship
has been executed by a man who wears the gold
medals of the R.S.
Mr. Ottaway—l suppose all this mystery will be
cleared up at a future time.
Mr. Poulter—l don't understand it at all; this
portrait is to be given by the town to the Lord
Warden, and no one in the town knows anything
at all about it, and then the Lord Warden is to give
it to the town, that it may be hung up in the Town-
hall.
Mr. Smith—lt's a most discreditable thing.
Captain Noble—We had better ask permission
to hang his lordship in the Town-hall.
Mr. Robinson—Would it not be a little more
o
orei
congenial to his lordship's feelings, instead
hanging up, we should say "placed F"
Alderman Latham—Here is a portrait from an
unknown hand. We don't present it; and I
would move that thanks be presented to his lord-
ship for having sat to Mrs. Harris, the artist.
Captain Noble—That is not the artist's name
—he's a man with gold medals.
Alderman Latham—The Mayor said Mrs. Harris
(R.S.). If it is not her, it is some person equally
difficult to get at.
