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
some short distance, Oberon, with Gorse, Agag, Benham
Lass, and Conqueror on the extreme left, was observed 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 grGund 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 Gemma by a head for second money,
who finished a like distance in advance of Aurelian.
llartington 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, Agag, Ace of Clubs,
Polynesia, Dictator, and Myrtle, all
close together, the
rearmost lot being Exchequer, Gorse, Manrico, Optimist,
Vertumna, Pairwater, and Lady Ripon. Net value of the
stakes, £2,200.

111E7ROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

An extraordinary meeting of the board was held
yesterday in the board-room, Spring-gardens ; Mr,
Th waites 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 WLiterloo-
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. Bazalgette'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 after the embankment is formed, and
these.evila 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 hr,ving been seconded,
The SOLICITOR of the board say they must give
the usual Parliamentary notice if the proposed
alteration would affect the rights of any 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 aide 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 (Ailey, who also went by the
names of M'llonnell 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
an indifferent manner 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-
ment and hard 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
himself off the chair. So rapidly did the whole
thing take place that the stone passed across the
spot that the chairman had left, and struck the
panelling behind the chair. The violence of the
blow smashed the stone, and a small portion of it
remained imbedded firmly in the woodwork. Ser-
geant Howley had been sitting between the Hon.
M. J. French, R. 111., and J. Massey, Esq. P. C.
Howley, Esq., It.M., stooped to pick up the frag-
ments of the stone, and at once assistance was
rendered to their much-respected chairman, who
quickly recovered his position. A consultation of
magistrates took place, and it was decided that in-
formations of this outrageous attempt should be re-
turned against the prisoner to next assizes, the
quarter sessions grand jury having- been then dis-
charged. The occurrence of this dreadful outrage
created a deep sensation, happening as it did in the
presence of 12 magistrates, over 30 of the constabu-
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 sub-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 stickiug-
plaister, bore testimony of the nature of the feuds
in which they had been engaged."
