After several false starts, Hesper, Don't Come Late, and
Miss Julia got off together, Tom Sayers, who " whipped"
round before the flag fell, followieg many lengths in the
rear. For the first 300 yards, Hesper maintained a slight
advantage, when he was joined by Don't Come Late, the
pair running a most exciting race from the half-distance.
Opposite the enclosure, the " young'un" had undoubtedly
the beat of the struggle, but Hesper " coming" again, in
the last half-dozen strides, made a dead heat of it. Miss
Julia was a bad third.

After several failures an excellent start was effected,
Astarte going away with the lead, followed by Leontes,
Otho, Confession, and Pinkepoe, until arriving into the
straight, where Astarte was beaten, and rapidly dropped
into the rear. Olive Branch ran to the front before reach-
ing the distance, and from this point the result was never
in doubt, as Olive Branch continued with the lead to the
end, and won by a length ; Pinkepoe was beaten a neck for
second honours; Miss Hawthorne was fourth, Otho fifth,
Maydew sixth, Leontes next, Astarte last. The winner

Lady Ripon for a few minutes kept away from her horses,
and upon being prevailed to join them they were started on
equal terms. The front rank comprised Gardener, Canary,
Warminster, and Colares ; the whippers-in being Fairwater
and Amy. Rounding the turn beyond the Stand, the ten
followed each other in Indian file, Gardener being in front,
Canary second, Colares third, and Warminster fourth ; the
last three being Fairwater, Lady Ripon, ana Amy. When
they had three-quarters of a mile to run, Charles Fox ran
up to the leaders, and Lady Ripon and Fairwater began to
overhaul the front rank. Making the turn into the straight,
the lot took close order, Gardener still leading. At the dis-
tance Charles Fox passed Gardener, and the Liverpool Cup
winner tiring, Lady Ripon (next the rails) attended upon
the statesman. A dozen strides from home Fairwater and
Amy rushed through their horses, but failed to reach
Charles Fox, who won by a head ; and a similar distance
separated the second and third, and a head only divided the
third and fourth; Canary was fifth, Warminster sixth,
Gardener seventh, Libelous eighth, Cook Robin ninth, and
Colares beaten off last.

After 25 minutes had been wasted at the post by several
of the jockeys refusing to "fall in," a moderate start was
made, Slingsby having decidedly the worst of the "go."
East Sheeu jumped away first, followed by Trust, Duplicity,
and Maid of Honour ; but Mr. Angell's horse, without
ever having been headed, won by a length ; Peignoir, who
came with a rush within the distance, beat Trust by half a

INDIA.

By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have re-
ceived files of papers from Bombay to Oct. 27, and
from Calcutta to Oct. 18.

We take the following summary of news from the
Bombay Gazette of Oct. 27:---

"The English mail of Oct. 3 had not arrived in
Bombay up to the hour of our going to press.
"His Excelleney the Governor of Bombay, with
Lady Frere and personal Staff, is residing tempo-
rarily at Matheran, a sanitarium, near Bombay.
Lady Frere has been suffering for some time from
indisposition.
" His Excellency the Commander-in• Chief of
Bombay is residing at the hill-station of Pobrund--
hur.

" The Viceroy's camp will be formed in the first
week of February, 1863, at Agra, or in its neigh-
bourhood. His lordship's escort will consist of a
regiment of European infantry—viz., the 3d bat-
talion Rifle Brigade from Bareilly ; a squadron of
the 2d Dragoon Guards, Bays, from Cawnpore; the
B Battery 2d Royal Horse Brigade from Gwalior ;
a regiment of Native Infantry, the 31st from Morar,
Gwalior ; and the 10th Bengal Cavalry from Ba-
reilly. The camp will march via Muttra, Delhi,
Meerut, Roorkhee, Umballab, and Kalka to Simla.
" His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of
India will leave Simla on Oct. 30 for his cold wea-
ther tour through the Central India Provinces. .
" The latest dates from Cabul are up to Oct 3.
The British authorities had directed their repre-
sentative Nawab Ghoolam Hnssan Khan to leave
the Ameer's camp. It was stated on reliable autho-
rity that 18,000 Persian troops, with six small and
four large guns, had arrived at Mushed from Tehe-
ran, and that the Sbahzada of that place had re-
ceived instructions from the She h to collect supplies
for 20,000 more troops. The Ameer and some of the
Sirdars were of opinion that they should come to
terms with Sooltan Ahmed Jan, and return to
Cabul.

" Rules for the pay of the native cavalry have
just been published by the Government of .India,
which will have the effect of greatly preventing dis-
content. Merit, and not seniority, is to regulate pay,
And commanding officers have the power of pro-
moting and disrating native officers, simply enter-
ing their reasons in the regimental. order-books.
" The marine insurance companies in Bombay
have determined to raise the present rates of in-
surance 1 per cent. all round-31, inetead of 21 per
per cent. for cotton shipped to the United Kingdom.
Twenty thousand bales of cotton have been totally
lost within the last six months, and upwards of
50,000 bales are either lying at the Cape or the
Mauritius, or have been eold to pay the charges of
ships that had put into intermediate ports, which
losses will eventually fail on the insurance com-
panies.

" Flights of locusts have done much injury to the
crops in Scinde.
" Major Collier, Major of Brigade at Poona, has
been appointed to the command of her Majesty's Bth
Regiment Native Infantry.
" Sir William Denison is on a tour through the
the western provinces of the Madras Presidency.
" The new Royal Artillery appointments are as
follows :—lnspector-General, Bengal, Col. Swinly ;
Inspector-General, North-West Provinces, Colonel
I. Brind, C.B. ; Deputy Adjutant-General, Lieu-
tenant-Colonel U. Moir, C. B. ; Brigade Major, Ben-
gal, Second Captain A. H. Lindsay; Brigade Major,
North-West Provinces, Second Captain M. C.
Sankey.
" Her Majesty's steamship Odin, with Lord John
Hay, C. 8., Commodore, in command of the fleet in
the Indian Seas, has arrived in Calcutta, where the
Commodore has gone to make arrangements as to
the future headquarters of the fleet.
" Mr. Edmonstone has announced his intention
of going home at the conclusion of the ensuing cold
season.
" A succession of gales have swept the Bay of
Bengal, causing serious casualties among the ship-
_

His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of
India has decided upon taking very decisive mea-
sures in regard to Brigadier Burney's case. The
strictest inquiry is to be instituted. _
" The Chief Justice of Bengal has applied to the
Home Government for the appointment of two extra
judges of the High Court. The act of Parliament
authorises 15, and there are at present but 13, in-
cluding the Chief Justice.
"The 72d Highlanders at Mhow are suffering
severely from sickness.
" Mr. David Sasson, of Bombay, has offered
half a lac of rupees towards the construction of a
general hospital att Poonah, and a lac of rupees
towards its endowment.
" The Government have published the Budget
Estimates of 1862-63. The total revenue is
£42,971,200; the total expenditure is £36,329,400.
The revenue and expenditure of the PLuvinees are
as follows :
rrovince. Revenue. Expenditure.
Bengal .. £12,820,746 .. £5,258,001
North-West Provinces .. 5,502,600 .. 2,251,932

" The first step has been taken by Mr. Macnair,
of Joradah, in Jessore, and Messrs. Jardine, Skinner,
and Co., in Rajshaye, to revolutionise the labour
market and the agricultural operations of India.
Each has ordered out from England a steam plough
and engaged a skilled engineer to superintend it.
"Machinery has also superseded native feet in the
manufacture of indigo.
" The ship South Sea, 953 tons, from Calcutta to
London, with general cargo, which left Calcutta on
the 28th of September, became a total wreck on
the Middleton Sand. This is the sixth ship lost in
the Hooghly in six months, and. 20 lac of rupees
will scarcely cover the loss.
" The priestly affair is still causing much excite-
ment in military circles. The officer of the 42d
Highlanders have addressed Sir Hugh Rcse on the
awkwardness of their position in relation to their
Colonel, and the Commander-in-Chief has held a
Council on the subject. The result has not tran-
spired.
" We learn that there is to be a camp of exercise
at Umballah, besides that at Lucknow, and it is for
the purpose of being present that the 19th and
21st Hussars are to be halted at that station
while carrying out the relief of the year.
" We are glad to learn that at length the interior
of the country round and about Nursinghur, in
Central India, has been entirely freed from rebels,
and such great quietness and security prevail that
all the British forces previously sent to that part
of the country have been withdrawn.
" There has been a considerable fall of rain gene-
rally over the country during the last fortnight.
The Elephanta storms lasted for several days, and
were accompanied with much rain.
4, The health of the town and island of Bombay
has improved during the past fortnight, 18
and
present good."
We take the following from the Calcutta NV-
ltslman of October 18
worthy " There has been no change woof
