E. ELLIOTT,

of Sylvis-house, Richmond, has only a solitary Derby
nag in training--his own br. c. DONSKOY, by Hetman
Platoff, dam by Blacklock—sister to Barefoot, who
made his only appearance in public at Durham, when
he passed the post for the Hopeful Stakes (won by
Exact) about last of all. As a matter of course will not
do for the "great go."

C. WINTRINGHAM,
of Richmond, also has only one Derby horse under his
care, Mr. Singleton's b. c. TRIO, by lago out of Actual
(Brown Fly's dam), who will not pass muster for the
Derby, but may for some of the small Handicaps. Has
not started.

JAMES ARMSTRONG,
of Beverly, has a trashy animal of Mr. H. Brown's at work,
'yclept BROTH OF A BOY, by Fancy Boy out of Clorinda.
nominated by Mr. R. Hebblethwaite. The Boy has
started once, when he was beaten easily for the Bishop
Burton Stakes at Beverley, won by Anne Eliza.

G. NOBLE,
of Beverley, has a ch. c. called the CURFEW, by Red
Deer out of Sunset, nominated by Mr. Wilkins, in
training. The present proprietor's name I have been
unable to ascertain, but believe it to be Capt. Reynard.
Any information on this score will be gladly received.
Has not appeared in public, but is reported to be a mo-
derate animal, and useful only for short distances.

R. HE SSELTINE,
of Hambleton-house,_ has Mr. C. Harrison's b. C. ;
MARK PARVIN, by Young Professor, dam by Voltaire,
out of Golden Drop, at work. This colt is of no ac-
count, and in the only race he figured could not manage
to obtain a place.

HENRY STEBBING,
of Hambleton, has four Derby nags in preparation,
not one of which, however, in my opinion, will go to
Epsom. They are Mr. J. B. Morris's b. c. KING DAVID,
by Assault out of the Slayer's Daughter, bought at
York when a yearling for 125 guineas, a runner in four
races, and winner in none ; Mr. J. B. Morris's br. c.
YOUTHFUL DAYS, by Birdcatcher out of Playmate, a
runner thrice, and, like the preceding, on each occasion,
a loser ; Mr. Knowles's b. c. TALPOURD (own brother to
Tadmor), by lon out of Palmyra, nominated by Col.
Peel, who was thought so much of when a yearling that,
at the sale of Col. Peel's stud, he was bought in for
1,200 guineas, has appeared before the public thrice,
and been defeated easily each time ; and Mr. KNOWLES'
ch. c. OSIRIS, by Slane out of Jo, nominated by Col.
Peel, who has not run as yet, and is probably the best
of the quartette. I entertain, however, but very little
hope of his being any better than that notorious im-
postor Lapidist, to whom he is half-brother.

J. THRIFT,
of Gullane, has Capt. Key's b. c. THE MAJOR, by Cother-
stone, out of Drum Major's dam, nominated by Lord
Exeter, in training. The horse has not run as yet,
and when he does will be found to be but a third-class
animal.

NEWTON SPRING MEETING.
The first spring meeting of the season takes place to-
morrow at Newton, under the stewardship of Captain
White and T. Legh, Esq., with Mr. Topham as lessee
and clerk of the course. The bill of fare for the day is
uncommonly good ; and as there is sure to be a large
attendance of the Manchester men, in addition to a
strong muster of the Metropolitans, the meeting will,
no doubt, go off with considerable eclat. There are four
races on the card for decision ; and the performances
will commence, I believe, at half-past one.
The doings of the influential members of the ring
would lead one to infer that the Golborne Handicap
Steeple-chase is almost certain to come off in favour of
SHINRONE or QUICKSTEP ; although I fancy if Mr.
Barnard were to run his Young Lottery instead of
Quickstep, his chance of victory would be beaer ; but
I presume he has cogent reasons for what he is doing.
Cabin-bay seems to be the next animal in point of at-
traction.

The movements on the Free Handicap Steeple-chase
particularly indicate FRESHWATER, and the b. in. by the
Genius, as the best things ; Flying Buck and Lady
Wilton standing third and fourth in estimation.
In the Handicap Hurdle Race, in the absence of
Quickstep, CAURIRE and , QUEEN OF THE VALE are
booked as the certain occupants of the first and second
places.

The Handicap Plate of 30 sovs., heats one mile and a-
quarter, is rather a comical sort of stake to inaugurate
the flat racing of the year. Seven out of the eight no-
minations will, I understand, go to the post ; and it is
my opinion that, favoured by the light weigh of 6st.
101 b., Mr. Grimer's b. m. CRIPPLE KATE Will just manage
to
the second carry
and third off the pl
plate ;
ace Hars 'and True Girl obtaining

The latest betting this morning on the foregoing events
is as follows :—Golborne Handicap-5 to 2 agst Quick-

boy, Freshwater, Lady Wilton, True-girl, Caurire, Crip-
ple Kate, Jupiter, Knight of the Pipe, Flying Buck,

THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

MEETINGS OF. PUBLIC COMPANIES.—PROFESSED RE"
PORTERS.—Circumstances have come to our knbwledge
within the last few days, which render it necessary that
the chairman or secretaries of companies should be
warned against certain persons who attend their public
meetings in the capacity of professed reporters, and re-
ceive money from them by undertaking to get reports of
the proceedings inserted in the morning journals. Such
persons do not belong to any paper, and the mere fact of
receiving any sum under a representation of being able
to insure the publication of reports, is obtaining money
under false pretences. The press would feel that an

The trials "off the wind" place the frigates in the fol-
lowing order:—

On the 7th Abd-el-Kader reached 'Constantinople
in French frigate. His arrival has led to a mis-
understanding between quad Effendi and the
French Ambassador, who wished to present the il-
lustrious exile to the Sultan. The Turkish Govern-
ment replied that there was no example of a Mus-
sulman's having been presented to the Grand
Seignior by a European. M. de Lavalette was
pleased to look on the above-mentioned communi-
cation as a personal insult. A contract has been
concluded between the Porte on the one side, and
Missiani, Stefavonitz, Ralli, Maurojanini, and Za-
rili on the other, for the liquidation of the affairs of
the Bank. " The business of. the Bank," says the
Triester Zeitung, " may be considered." M.
d'Ozeroff has been nominated an Imperial Russian
Counsellor of State, and his protest against the fir-
nan concerning the Holy Sepulchre has met with
he approval of the Russian Cabinet.

longer."
Then the chief appeared to see the extent of the wrong
done to his soldiers, for those who heard him said the
words of exhortation came hoarsely from his throat. Yet
even he, on whom the hopes of England and India were
centred, had no power to relieve them. Bound hand
and foot by strict interdictory laws, his office was a
mockery.
Four years now have passed since then, and another
British regiment has duly pined its time upon that weary
rock. They now return to India, stalking shadows of
whilom stalwart soldiers, the living proofs of silent mi-
sery and neglect.
If any man doubts my story, let him move that the
commanding officer of the regiment now about to be re-
lieved be called on for a statistical report of the march
of his corps to Poonah ; and if one-half of those who
lately garrisoned Aden preserve their ranks for 10 miles,
I will denounce myself and all I have written.
I wish to be understood that I do not declare Aden
to be unhealthy ; the air is dry and pure, though fear-
fully hot. Men's brains are turned to water by the dis-
graceful nature of the covering—the flimsy open sheds I
have described. In good barracks no troops would be
more healthy or robust ; in their 'present hovels none are
so ghastly and inert.—Your obedient servant,

The advocate of M. Munster denied that the operations
in which M. Beaucousin had been engaged ere of a
gambling character. The Advocate-General considered,
on the contrary, that they were of that nature, and that
consequently the plaintiff was not entitled in law to re-
cover. He, however, spoke in rather severe terms of
M. Beaucousin for refusing payment of gambling debts,
which are always considered debts of honour. The
Tribunal, after declaring that the Tribunal of Com-
merce was without jurisdiction in the case, as there had
been no commercial transactions, decided that, as M.
Munster knew well that for two years M. Beaucousin
had been engaged in gambling speculations, he could
not recover, and it accordingly dismissed the appeal.
ARRIVAL OP A HUGE BOA CONSTICTOR AND ITS YOUNG
ONES.—On Sunday last there arrived at this port, in
the Ship Arrow, Captain Wyatt, from Para, a huge
serpent of the boa genus, respecting which we have re-
ceived some interesting particulars. The reptile is at
least 18 feet in length, and was caught by some of the
natives on the banks of the "mighty Amazon." Before
it came into the possession of Captain Wyatt, it had
satisfied its appetite by swallowing a full-grown goat.
On the day the vessel left Para, the captain and crew
were surprised to find that the serpent had given birth
to 36 young ones. The "snakelets" were about two
feet each in length, and in six weeks they have only
grown about an inch in length. The report of this

5. Thetis.

During the first cruise, before the Phaeton and Are-
thusa joined the squadron, the Leander took her place
before the Thetis and Indefatigable. In a breeze which
gave the Leander a speed of 10 knots, she gained on the
Thetis 167 fathoms an hour. On this occasion the Thetis
gained on the Indefatigable 577 fathoms an hour. In
breezes which gave the Phaeton a speed of from 4 to 7
and 84 knots, she gained on the Arethusa 500 fathoms
an hour. The Arethusa, under similar circumstances,
gained on the Leander about 300 fathoms •an hour.
When the squadron was in order of sailing, with the
wind on the port beam, in force 7 (that is, a moderate
gale, in which the same ship could just carry close hauled
double reefs, jib, &c.), with squalls, the Leander, under
treble-reefed fore and mizen topsails, double-reefed main
topsail, main topgallant sail, and courses, was going 10.

A FEAT OF STRENGTH.—A well-known man, a sort of
hanger-on about the shambles, called William Barrand
alias Jim Long, performed the following feat of strength
on Thursday last. He was backed by an immediate
wager of 101., but in addition to this many small and
large sums were bet upon the matter. He had to go
from Halifax to Sowerby-bridge and back, in the space
of an hour and a half, bearing a load of beef weighing
nine stones, or 144 pounds. The distance there and
back is about five miles, but what would render the la-
bour more difficult is the steepness of the road back for
a considerable distance. However, the man won the
wager, and with apparent ease, being back at the start-
ing point in one hour and twenty minutes from his set-
ting out.—Leeds Mercury.
EDUCATION OF THE JEWS 40 YEARS AGO.---Who
ever among us is enabled to carry his memory
back
some thirty or forty years, must remember the system
adopted—if such a mode of instruction as then prevailed
could be dignified with the title of system—in imparting
what was then called education to the children of the
poorer classes. In a second-floor back room, or more
frequently in a back attic, sat an aged man, past labour,
who, having a beard, was dignified with the high-sound-
ing title of Rabbi. Around this aged teacher, in such
foetid chamber, with the thing called a bed in the corner,
sat, or rather squatted, a number of ill-clad and, with
but few exceptions, dirty children, who were being
taught Hebrew, and to translate some portions of the
Pentateuch and prayer-book, in a jargon composed of
various portions of the languages of the countries which
the said Rabbi might have visited during his migration
from the land of his birth—

SHOCKING MURDER IN OUPAR.—It is our duty to re-
cord an instance of this awful crime which has occurred
in our community. The victim in this case is a boy of
five or six years of age, and the perpetrator of the horrid
deed is his own mother. It appears that Janet Keddie
or Johnstone had been drinking hard for some days pre-
viously, and on Tuesday evening, in a drunken frenzy
(irritated, it is supposed, by the refusal of the child to
go for more whisky), she seized and maltreated him till
the poor child died under her treatment, as ha was found
in bed evidently strangled. The wretched mother is in
the hands of the authorities, and in due course will be
tried for the murder. At present she is still suffering
from delirium tremens. Her husband and the father of
the boy is a book distributor, and was from home at the
time of the murder. We understand that the woman
Keddie has oftener than once already, when under the
influence of liqueur, attempted to take away her own
life. Fife Herald.

yet offered to the world ever attained such distinguishe f
celebrity; it is questionable if there be now any part__:),
the civilised globe where its extraordinary healing
tues have not been exhibited. The signal success is
attributable solely to the strong recommendations °
parties cured by their use. The proprietors of Pas(l
Life Pills have now in their possession upwards of I,sui;
letters— several of them from clergymen of the Church
of England, many from distinguished Dissenting mi°„ls'
ters, from gentlemen connected with the Army and IC3v•l'
also from Members of Parliament, Merchants, and last,
though not least, from members of the Medical Profer
sion, and a skilful Analytical Chemist—all speaking ;1i
the highest terms of the value of this inestimable meal

all parallel, and stamp this medicine as being the in°9/
rational and the most useful medicine in the world. Sol.

A
DARK PICTURE OF NEWCASTLE.—The editor of the
Newcastle Chronicle, in a leading article, thus describes
this "canny town :"—" Our alleys are swarming with
thieves, our finest streets infested by beggars, and barri-
caded by hawkers of small wares, the lamps are worse
lighted, the streets worse kept, and the whole town
more disorderly than most other towns of the same
im-
portance in other parts of the kingdom !"
THE HARDWARE TRADE IN AUSTRALIA.—The follow-
ing extract of a letter from a respectable young man
who went to Melbourne two years ago, may be interest-
ing :—" I landed in Melbourne, and the first hardware
shop I went into I was engaged, the first week at 3/.
10s., the second week, if liked, 51. Each hand in the
establishment receives from 501. to 601. a-day; the prices
are very great, padlocks you sell at 3s. 6d. per doz. are
2s. 6d. each ; Rodgers's one blade penknives ss. per
doz. 3s. 6d. each ; padlocks Bs. or 9s. per doz. are ss.
each.--No second price. We have only to ask and the
money is handed out. Police have 15s. per day."

Winchester, dated April B,* 1852.—T0 Professor Hollo-
way. Sir,—l beg to inform you that for years I was a
sufferer from chronic rheumatism, and often laid up for
weeks together, unable to move. I was attended by the
most eminent surgeons hero, but obtaining no relief, was
induced to go into our county hospital. The medical
treatment there, however, being of no avail, I left, and
commenced using your pills, which, I am happy to say,
in a short time effected a perfect cure, and enabled me
to resume my employment.---Sold by all druggists, and

AN IMPUDENT SCOUNDREL—The Tribunal of Correc-
tional Police has tried a man, named Verault, for a very
impudent piece of swindling. He, on New Years'-clay,
went round to all the customere-of a manufacturer,
named Poubirau, and, pretending to be his porter, and
wishing him all the compliments .f the season, obtained
presents of money from them. When the real Simon
Pure arrived, he was told, to his great mortification,
that nothing could be given to him. In his defence, the
accused maintained he had done nothing wrong. "I
had the trouble," said he, "to go to the customers,
wearing out my boots and a. pair of Berlin gloves ; I
had the trouble to wish them many happy returns of the
day, and that they might go to Paradise at the end of
their lives : and yet it is pretended that I was not to ac-
cept the money they offered ! Why, I had clearly
earned it—and you know, M. President, that we should
give to Caesar what belongs to Ceesar !" Unmoved by
this reasoning„ the Tribunal condemned the man to
three months' imprisonment.
GOOD PROFITS ON A CONSIGNMENT.--In the month of
May last, Mr. John Wilson, an extensive boot and shoe
manufacturer in Bishopwearmouth, sent out 3201. worth
of boots and shoes to Australia, and last week Mr. Wil-
son was gratified by the receipt of a cheque upon the
Australian bank for the handsome sum of 9251. The
boots and shoes had sold readily, and realized the above
enormous profit. Mr. Wilson has sent out a still larger
stock for the same market.
