and the Astarte, although at the station moorings, did not
start. The Christabel could not get to her station beforo
the starting gun was fired.

At 11 a.m.the yachts were started over the eastern portion
of the course vith the strength of the east-running tide and
S.W. wind. 'Both vessels had two reefs down in their fore-
sails, with their topmasts housed. The Volante set a small
working jib, the Meteor two, besides a reefed forestaysail.
At starting the Meteor was along distance to windward of the
Volante, and the vessel could not be got round before thewind
for five or six minutes ; the Volante, on the other hand, was
particularly alert in getting under way, and by the time
the Meteor had canted was well towards the Sand's Head
Buoy. From this point the yachts became totally obicured
by the blinding mist-liko rain, and of their progress to the
Nab we knew nothing, beyond the fact that the sea dis-
turbance towards the lightship must have enabled the Me-
teor, from her greater power, to come up slightly with the
Volante ; but she never overcame the time lost at starting.
They appeared in sight again at 12.20, the gale-like breeze
having somewhat abated, the weather being still full of
drizzling rain. They passed the Pier on their way to the
West Buoy of the middle off Osborne at--

they again appeared in sight at 1.20, with sheets eased off,
running for the station, where they arrived, terminating

THAMES.

EFFECTS OP DELIRIUM TREMENS.—Robert Beattie, re-
siding at 23, Rowland's Ring-row, Bethnal-green, was
charged before Mr. Pagot with threatening the lives of
several persons at 23, Rowland's-row.
The prisoner has been several times in custody charged
with being drunk, and it was stated that he had boon
almost daily under the influence of liquor, the effects of
which was believed to have brought on paroxysms of
delirium tremens.

The landlord of the prisoner now stated that the pri-
soner came home about one o'clock this morning; when he
broke two panes of glass and threatened to take the life of
his children.

Mr. Paget—What did he say about your children ?
Landlord—He had a knifo in his hand, with which ho
gave her a slap across her shoulders, and said that if she
did not go down stairs he would take her by the hair of
her head and drag her down the stairs, and last night he
swore that ho would have the life of his eldest daughter.
Mr. Paget—What is the cause of all this ?
Landlord—l cannot say. I believe he is labouring
under delirium tremens. On Friday he was charged at
this court with an assault on a woman and child, and on
the next day he was charged with assaulting the captain
of a vessel in Stepney-green.
Mr. Paget—Do you swear that you are in fear of violence
from him ?

Landlord —I fear that if not restrained ho will do me
and my children some mischief.

Mr Paget (to prisoner)—What do you say to the charge?
You must give security for your good behaviour for ono
month.

Prisoner—Oh, I can bring all Stepney-green as security.
Mr. Paget said that he should hold him to bail himself
in £lOO and two securities of £5O each, to keep the peace
for one month.

It was further stated that the prisoner's wife was burnt
to death about six months ago, and that he had been seen
almost daily intoxicated.

NARROW ESCAPE OF A GREAT WESTERN EXPRESS
TRAM.—Yesterday a diabolical attempt to upset a
train on the Smith-Eastern Railway, between the Woking-
ham and Earley Stations, by placing a metal across the
line, was reported ; and on Monday evening a similar act
placed in imminent danger the lives of the passengers by
the 4.50 p.m. express train from Paddington. When the
train reached the top of the incline near tho Wootton
Bassett Station, and while it was proceeding at full speed,
a shock was experienced, and, on the line being examined,
it was found that a piece of metal had been placed on the
line, but fortunately the wheels of tho engine severed it,
and thus a frightful accident was averted. Within the
last few weeks several attempts of this kind have been
made on different lines.

CUMBERLAND.

The cattle plague has made its appearance in
Cumberland. The tenant of the Whin Close
Estate, Abbey kiolme, has lost the whole of his

mulch cows by flie disease within the space of three
or four days.

EDINBURGH.

On Wednesday last we were enabled to state a
fact which had naturally been studiously concealed
by those concerned—that the dreaded " rinderpest"
had appeared, and in some cases proved fatal, in
Edinburgh. Since then the disease has continued
to spread, as in England and the north of Scotland ;
and among the stock of various keepers of dairy
cows in town it either has been or threatens to be-
come destructive. In the sheds of the cowkeeper,
to whose case we on Wednesday referred—and in
which, we believe, the disease first showed itself
here—from six to ten animals have died, and seve-
ral others were yesterday reported ill of the " new"
disease. In another case six cows had yesterday
died, one of them an animal for which over £2O was
but a short time since paid--at least two were
dying, and others were affected, as yet less slightly.
In both cases the introduction of the disease is at-
tributed to infection from foreign cattle. In the
second case the owner of the stock bought from a
cattle dealer in the city market two cows which had
come into the country from Holland ; one of which
from the first did not, we believe, appear in perfect
health, though no suspicion seems to have been en-
tertained of the nature of the ailment. The disease,
however, declared itself in both the animals ; other
cows in the sheds began to exhibit the same symp-
toms; and five of the latter and one of the foreign-
brought animals had up to yesterday died, while the
other foreign cow was affected past hope of recovery.
It is plain that we did not draw attention to this un-
pleasant but important subject a moment too soon
or too strongly, and that the Chamber of Agricul-
ture will have to do something more than consider
and suggest when it meets on Wednesday.

MARKETS --This Day.

MARK-LANE.
Including the supply left over from Monday, the show
of English wheat on the stands to-day was moderate.
Millers did not operate freely either in rod or white quali-
ties, but the trade was very firm ; and the late advance in
prices was fully supported. A few parcels of new wheat
were on offer ; fine red was quoted at 475, and fine wheat
at 52s per quarter.

There was a fair supply of foreign wheat on the stands.
In most descriptions thero was a steady demand, and
prices ruled very firm.

Floating cargoes of wheat were in request at the ex-
treme rates of Monday. Spring corn afloat was
.firm in

price.
The supply of barley on sale was limited, and the trade
ruled firm, with an upward tendency in price.
Malt changed hands at fully late rates.
Oats were in moderate supply. Most qualities moved
off freely, and prices were rather sanguine ; they
showed, indeed, an improvement of 6d per quarter from
Friday.
Both beans and peas were very firm, and the quotations
had an upward tendency.
The flour trade was firm at fully late rates. The top
price of town-made flour is now 435 per 2801 b.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EGHAM RACES.

The rain this morning did not seem to have damped the
ardour of the pleasure-seekers who annually flock to
Runnymede. The South-Western specials were as
crowded as ever, and there was about the usual attend-
ance of the neighbouring families.
The King John Stakes witnessed the debut of Mr.
Fisher's heavily engaged Derby colt Magician, who has
lately figured in the few quotations at the Corner. He is
a handsome colt, with a look of his sire, the Dutchman,
about him, but his mien was not of a character to warrant
his being classed as a candidate for Epsom honours.
Sydmonton, with only Dr. Syntax to oppose him, for the
ridiculous exhibition made by Black Playman put him
out of the race from the start, found no difficulty in put-
ting her Majesty's Guineas to Lord Portsmouth's account.
The Warrior again proved himself indifferent to weight
in the Welter Stakes, and the Runnymede was carried off
by the favourite, General Hess, in a canter.

WESTMINSTER.

TRYING TO ROAST A MAN ALIVE.—A tall, powerful
black man, who gave the name of Charles Davis, was
brought up in custody, charged with ill-treating a man and
putting him upon a fire, accompanied with a threat that he
would roast him alive.

William Smith, at poor man, said—l live at 30, Old Pye-
street, Westminster, in a lodging-house there, and so does
the prisoner. At about 10 o'clock last night I was sittting
quietly in the kitchen, talking to the woman who had care
of the house, when the prisoner crossed over to me, seized
me by the throat, and much ill-treated me. lle struck me
in the face, while he had got hold of my throat and tried
to roast mc.
Mr. Arnold—Tried to roast you!

Prosecutor— Yes. He caught hold of mo and put me on
the fire and said ho would hold me there till he roasted me
alive.

Mr. Arnold—What had you done to him ?
Prosecutor— Nothing whatever.
Mr. Arnold—What injury has been done to you?
Prosecutor—l struggled and got away, but my hands
were burnt, and I was scalded by the large boiler on the
side of the fire.

Prisoner said he had been drinking freely, and was first
insulted by the prosecutor making some illiberal remarks
about his colour.

Prosecutor—l never said a word to him, or a word about
him. I was not talking about colour, but about something
else. Hero is the woman who manages the house, who
can prove it.•

Mary Anne Eastwood—l look after the house for Mr.
Haddon, the proprietor. The prisoner came into the
kitchen last night, where there wore other lodgers. I
was talking to the proiecutor. The prisoner deliberately
came up to him, and asked him what ho was talking about,
and then he said he would put him on the fire till he was
roasted, which he did.

Mr. Arnold—Ho fortunately was not roasted at any rate.
What wore you talking about at the time the prisoner
came up ?

Witness—About domestic things— about the house and
the landlord of it.

Mr. Arnold—Was anything said about the prisonor or
his colour?

Witness—Not a word whatever; we were talking about
Mr. Haddon. When the prisoner asked us what wo were
talking about we told him.

James Joyce, 261 B—l was on duty in Old Pye-street
last night, and was told that a man had put another on the
fire. I took him into custody.
Mr. Arnold—What condition was he in ?
Witness—He had been drinking, but was not so drunk
but that he well knew what ho was about.

Prisoner—l know I was drunk, but I was insulted.
Mrs. Eastwood—l can bring all the others. There were
five of them present when we were talking, and they can
prove nothing was said about him.
Prisoner was remanded.

The accounts from the llokitika gold fields lead
to the belief that, for at least 100 miles, that portion
of the west coast of the Middle Island is auriferous.
It is wanting in harbours, and numerous casualties
are reported among the shipping. The yield still
continues good, notwithstanding the flooding of the
stream—a few days' foretaste in the damage which
the winter is likely to cause. In. the Thames dis-
trict, at Auckland, a native has prodUced 21b. of
gold, said to be discovered in that neighbourhood ;
but he wishes; very wisely, to make the reward of
£2,000 offered by the Government secure before re-
vealing the precise whereabouts. The rush from
Otago to Hokitika, and the winter weather, has
considerably reduced the Otago fields for the pre-
sent.
