SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL RACES---YEsTERDAr.
The aspect of the Yorkshire moors on Monday rather
foreboded disaster to Mr. Topham's meeting. Clothed with
a thick covering of snow, they reminded us that this time
last year we saw them under similar conditions, and that
the wintry weather followed us to Aintree. Tuesday morn-
ing, however, dawned brightly, and it really looked as if
the Liverpool Spring was going to be held without its usual
accompaniment of bad weather.
The Grand National formed the one theme of conversa-
tion, and the accident that happened the previous day to
L'Africain, who had so rapidly sprung into the position of
almost first favourite, was the topic of the hour. Twice cast
in his box en route from flednesford to Liverpool on Mon-
day, he cut himself so severely as to render his starting out
of the question. This had the effect of making Arbury
and Emblematic still warmer favourites, and but little else
was backed in the limited amount of,business transacted at
the Albion.
The very easy manner in which Stanton disposed of his
field in the hurdle race brought him forward for the steeple-
chase, 12 to 1 only being offered against him after his run.
The Flying Stakes were won very cleverly by the second
favourite, Jane Shore, Gemma not running kindly under
the top weight. The other events, from the hour at which
we are obliged to despatch our parcel, we have not time
further to allude to. The attendance of the general public
was large, and the Croxteth party included a great many
of the leading patrons of the turf.
The Annual Hurdle Handicup of t, sovs eacii,, "vlth 50 soya
added. Winners extra. Two miles, over six flights of
hurdles. 34 subs.

Lord Coventry's Balder, 6 yrs, lOst 91b ...... (G. Stevens 4
The following also ran—True Heart, Sir Holme, Game-
cock, Garibaldi, Bombay, and Emily. i
Betting-7 to 2 agst Balder, sto leach agst Stanton and
True Heart, and 6 to 1 each agst Real Jam and Duchess.
After a couple of failures, Real Jam, next the rails, got
away slightly in advance of True Heart, Gamecock, and
Balder, and came on with the running to the first flight
of hurdles, which True Heart cleared in advance of Balder,
Real Jam going on third, Bombay and Gamecock, with
the rear division, lying up, with the exception of Emily
and Garibaldi. These positions were retained past the
stand, but as they made the stable turn Bombay ran
past his horses and joined True Heart; but, dying away
immediately after, his place was taken by Mr. Hughes's
mare, closely attended by Gamecock, Stanton, and
Balder, who ran in a body to the hurdles placed at the mile-
post, which the two leaders got safely over, but Gamecock,
striking them heavily, fell and rolled over. At the canal
side Stanton and Balder joined the front, the four running
in company to half way along the bottom, where Real Jam
, and came into the straight

dis-
tance Waddington brought up Stanton, who obtained a de-
cided lead, and won in a canter by four lengths. Duchess,
who ran past Real Jam and Balder as they were pulling up
at the stand, obtained the barren honour of second by a
head; Balder trotted in a bad fourth, Sir Holme fifth, Gari-
baldi sixth, and Emily next. Nothing else passed the post.
The Selling Hurdle Stakes of 3 sovs each, with 20 added,
for 4-yr-olds and upwards. Weight for age. Winners ex
tra, with selling allowances. Mile and a half, over four
flights of hurdles ;to start opposite the stables. 6 subs.

Betting-
-2 to 1 on The Beau.
Immediately the flag was lowered The Beau jumped
away with
a decided lead of Cargo, Westwick, who got
badly off, being left considerably in their rear. On reach-
ing the canal turn the last named got upon better terms,
and headed Cargo half way up the distance, but failed to
reach the favourite, who Von by 15 lengths; a wretched
third. The winner was bought in for 75 guineas.
The Spring Flying Stakes (Handicap) of 5 sovs each, with
50 added, for 3-yr-olds and upwards. Winners extra.

Early in the Morning, and Lady Sefton.
Betting-5 to 2 each agst Gemma and Doeford, 7to 2
agst Jane Shore, and 100 to 15 agst Juliet.
Several failures in which Gemma,- 'Worthless, Lady
Bohun, and Doeford were the principal performers, pre-
ceded the actual start. When the flag was lowered, Worth-
less in the centre, was the first away, having Doeford, Jane
Shore, and Gemma as his immediate followers, to the en-
closure, where Jane Shore came out and won with ex-
treme ease by three-quarters of a length ; a neck separated
the second and third ; Gemma was a bad fourth ; Juliet,
Early in the Morning, and Lady Sefton was next,. close
together. Lady Bohun was beaten off.
The Grand National United Hunters' Stakes of 100 sovs in
specie, added to a Sweepstakes of 3 sovs each, for horses
not thoroughbred, and which have never won, and have
been fairly hunted with an established pack of foxhounds.

THE PALL-MALL GAZETTE.
The PA LI,- lIALL GAZ rTE is now published as a MORNING REVIEW as well as an EVENING} NEWS-
PAPER.
The design the Proprietors had from the first is thus car-
ried out. They thought it judicious to test their machinery
and the taste of the public before undert king it double
labour. Ana now, satisfied with the experiment in both
cases, and urged by frequent demands for the paper from
distant places where an evening journal is not easily ob-
tained, they have resolved on publishing the MORNING
REVIEW.

The Morning Edition contains a review of the Par'ia-
mentary proceedings of the previous night, and a few para-
graphs of special intelligence. The rest of the paper is com-
posed of Original Articles.
To provide the News looked for in a morning newspaper is
so gre t an underta ing, and one that is already so fully ac-
complished by half a doz•• 11 journals, that the Proprietors of
the PALL-MALL GAZETTE do not attempt it. But to
any one of these newspapers the PALL-MALL GAZETTE
will add a series of Original Articles such as is provided in
no other daisy paper.
The PALL-MALL GAZETTE. is still published as an
EVENING NEWSPAPER. But deferring to the wishes of
some subscribers who wish to have the Evening News and
the Monty Market report at greater length, the paper is en-
larged by four p iges.

Betting—Even on Little Goy, 5 to 2 each agst Vandal
and Meanwood, and 100 to 6 agst any other.
Grantstown got away in advance, and made the running
at a strong pace, and before they had proceeded a quarter of
a mile he was upwards of a dozen lengths in advance o f
Vandal, Little Goy, Meanwood, Miss Taft, Ladbrook Lass,
and Little Lady, who headed the nick, which was brought
up by Orphan Boy and Whiteface. On reaching the mile
post the severity of tho pace had told its tale, as the field
began to exhibit a scattered appearance, and nothing with
a chance was left in but Grantstown, who held his own to
the Canal-bridge turn, where he was joined by the favou-
rite and Vandal. Meanwood, Miss Taft, Ladbrook Lass,
and Gray Momus followed the leaders into the straight,
where Grantstown was beaten, leaving little Goy with the
lead, which he retained to the end, and won in a canter by
six lengths ; twice that distance separated the second and
third, Gray Momus was fourth, and Ladbrook Lass fifth.
Nothing else passed the post.

Minstrel and Aurelian, 6 to 1 agst Dr. Syntax, 10 to 1 agst

Nu was the first away, but was pulled back as they
rounded the stable turn, and the running was taken up by
Filbert, Nu going on second, Dr. Syntax third, close in the
whole rear were Jarnicoton, King of Clubs, Wandering
Minstrel, and Aurelian, last of all being Claret Cup. Pro-
ceeding along the far side the loading horses closed up and
ran in a compact body to the canal-bridge, when Dr. Syn-
tax improved his position, followed by Aurelian, the pair
being seen in close company with the favourite as they came
along the bottom. On entering the straight Filbert ran wide
which let up Dr. Syntax, who, with Aurelian and Nu on
either side, came on with a slight advantage to half way in
the distance, where the former was beaten and dropped
back, leaving Nu with the command, which she retained to
the enclosure, where Wandering Minstrel, who had been
disappointed in getting through his horses, joined her from
this point, and a splendid race ensued, Nu running longest,
and just winning in the last stride by a short head. There
were three lengths between the second and third, Dr. Syn-
tax was fourth, Aurelian fifth, and Jaruicoton sixth. Then
came Knave of Trumps and King of Clubs side by side.
Claret Cup was last.

This Institution is designed to supply a great national
want, viz., an asylum for the orphaq daughters of sailors in
the Royal Navy and Merchants service and of Marines.
It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic
service, and provides a home free ~f expense for former
inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the
temptations they might otherwise be exposed to.
The Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU-
TIONS to meet the increasi g applications through the
recent storms and loss f life at sea, and to enable them
even' ually to obtain premises more commensurate with the
necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000
sa,lors annually by casualties alone, without including those

falling into an °Pen embrasure. It remains for
those military engineers who have to convert an
earth or sand work into a fortification destined to
stand for a dozen years, to consider whether it would
not be possible to casemate such a work with revet-
ments of iron, and thus to attain security and pro-
tection for the guns and gunners without employing
wood, which is either subject to rapid decay or ob-
jectionable by reason of the splinters.
The fall of Fort Fisher, supervening upon a pre-
viously despondent condition of the public mind,
has produced in all the States to the south of 'Wil-
mington a mingled feeling of dismay and indigna-
tion against President Davis and the Administration
at Richmond. It is felt that all the disasters of the
last two months have been occssioned by the policy
which permitted Sherman to march unopposed and
unmolested through Georgia, and which sent Hood
across the Tennessee river upon his bootless
expedition. It is believed here that Sherman's
infantry left Atlanta on their march into Georgia
with only 40 rounds of ammunition in the
cartouche box of each soldier. It is obvious
that if Sherman could have been stopped and com-
pelled to fight a battle iu the neighbourhood of
Millen (about 70 miles from Savannah) his position,
merely from the expenditure of ammunition, which
would have been inevitable, could not but have been
precarious. But it is amusing to me to find how ill-
informed the administration at Richmond was in
regard to the troops in Georgia who were supposed
likely to check Sherman at the head of the finest
Federal army which has ever been in the field.
Neither is there at Richmond a right comprehen-
sion of the sentiment which prevails in South
Carolina and Georgia, and to a less degree in North
Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi, and which is
mildly described when I call it disaffection to Mr.
Davis and his Administration. It is impossible to be
blind to the fact that the backbone of these Southern
States has always been weaker than that of noble old
Virginia, and that much of the querulousness which
abounds in this town and in Augusta springs from
the inferior persistency of these semi-tropical States
when_ compared with the robust manhood of the
Virginians. But there is in all the Cotton States a
deep-seated conviction, which it is in vain to wrestle
with, that Mr. Davis thinks of nothing but the safety
of Richmond, that he will give heed to no warning
or representations, and that he is unable to see that,
while Charleston or Branchville may be held without
Richmond, Richmond cannot be held without
Charleston or Branchville. If profiting by the want
of harmony prevailing between Virginia and Georgia,
Sherman had struck boldly for Branchville immedi-
ately after his occupation of Savannah, there can be
little doubt that, to use his own words, he would have
brushed aside the opposition of South Carolina like a
cobweb, and would have bisected the sole remaining
artery which connects Richmond with Augusta. As
matters now stand, Sherman has, for reasons which
may possibly be guessed, but which are on the sur-
face inexplicable, betrayed an inactivity at a most
critical moment which is strangely at variance with
his eager, enthusiastic character. Your readers
may amuse themselves by finding such an explana-
tion of this seeming inconsistency as their fancy
suggests ; but, if I am not mistaken, in the expla-
nation sought lies the key to the future policy of
the Washington Government. The indications are so
many and so irresistible that everywhere in the South
slavery is looked upon as doomed, and that the only
question for determination is whether its extinction
is to be accomplished within ten years or is to be
spread over a space of from 50 to 100, that neither
Mr. Bright nor Professor Goldwin Smith will here-
after be able to persuade an audience that the
North are fighting for the abolition, the South for
the maintenance of slavery. The issue between
the two sections is more and more unequivocally
narrowing down to the definition of it which
all Englishnlen who have watched the con-
test closely from the outset have never ceased
to assign to it ; that is to say, the North is fight-
ing. for empire, the South for self-government
or independence. If Sherman had advanced upon
Branchville and Augusta, all the cotton in the latter
place (which is everywhere known and spoken of in
the Northern papers as being a large amount) would
undoubtedly have been burnt. To get hold of this
cotton quocunque mo do is more important to Sherman
than to take Augusta. Possibly, when a large por-
tion of Southern cotton is on its way, or already in
New York, the screw may be applied to South Caro-
lina and other States in compliance with the threats
of Sherman, and the attempt may be made to tor-
ture them back into the Union. In the meantime I
believe that diplomatic agency, which Sherman boasts
lie is employing with admirable success in Georgia,
will be tried ; that even if Sherman moves towards
Augusta it will only be a feint; and that every effort
will be made to prevent, or rather not to necessitate
the:destruction of the Augusta cotton. But this delay
will be employed by the Confederate Government
to organise renewed resistance to Sherman when-
ever he really advances again in hostile array.
What with the negotiations now proceeding overtly
or secretly between Charleston or Augusta, on the
one hand, and Sherman and Foster at Savannah or
Beaufort, on the other, and also (as for some time
past has been the case) overtly or secretly between
Richmond and Washington, it is doubtful to me at
this moment whether another large battle will
ever be fought. If ever such a battle is fought it
will inevitably lead to the arming and emancipation
by Southerners of the negro ; and if (as is every-
where here asserted) a spirit of unconquerable
resistance continues to be displayed by whites
and blacks alike, it is hard to know upon what
grounds the Federal sympathisers of England
will then base their sympathy. It is easy to fore-
see that if terms are now entered upon between
the two sections, the Southerners, in exchange
for independence, will probably enter into an
offensive and defensive alliance with the North-
erners, will possibly consent to an uniformity of
tariff over the whole area of the old United States,
will perhaps agree to assist in enforcing the Monroe
doctrine when called upon by the north, and will
adopt some articles in the new-born treaty which
will rather startle England and those English ad-
mirers and advocates whom Messrs. Seward, Adams,
and Sumner know so well how to manipulate. At
any rate, it seems probable that the events of the
next few months will be such as will be felt through-
out the whole civilised world for the next century,
for they will determine in what shape one of the
most powerful nations on earthis to meet thefuture ;
whether North America is still to be an unit in its
antagonism to Europe, and whether the season of
restlessness and bloodshed which was inaugurated
between Western Europe and Russia is to continue
until the end of this century, and until Jeremy
Bentham's theory that war is the natural condition
of mankind is accepted without demur or contra-
diction throughout the civilised globe.

Fear not.—Though surrounded by circumstances disad-
vantageous to health, these remedies, if properly applied,
will cut short fevers, influenza, inflammation, diphtheria,
and a host of other complaints always lurking about to
seize on the weak, forlorn, or unwary. The superiority of
Holloway's medicines over others for subduing disease has
been so fully and widely proved that it is only necessary to
ask the afflicted to give them a trial ; and if the instruc-
tions folded round them be followed no disappointments
will ever ensue, or dangerous consequences result. In
hoarseness and ulcerated sore throat the ointment should
it
frequently be rubbed on the neck and top of the chest;
allay disquietude
will arrest the increasing infl.rnmation,
and gradually cure.
