NOTTINGHAM RACES.-WEDNESDAY.

Racing was resumed on the second day with an excellent
card, which contained 10 events to be run off. The weather
was again fine, though a smart shower fell shortly before
the close of the sport. There was again a large attendance ;
and though the fields were not so large as might have
been expected from the strength of the entries, some good
contests were witnessed during the afternoon. The open:
ing event was won by Miss Harriette, who, staying better
than Miss Roland (who was in equal demand), landed Mr.
Saxon's colours very cleverly. In the succeeding race; a
"hot un," 011orton was upset by Lady Bohun. In the
Nottingham Nursery Plate, Miss Roland, though unable to
stay the T.Y.C., was found capable of getting half a mile,
and with the top weight, Oat 11b, won, after a brilliant
finish with Viper, who many in the enclosure thought had
just won. Privateer, following up his Stamford victories,
beat five others for the Chesterfield Handicap, for which he
was backed against the field. The other events do not call
for special comment, though Caller Ou, as a matter of
course, credited her owner With the "royal century " by
beating Success and the Iris gelding for her Majesty's
Plate. During the afternoon frequent inquiries were made
after Suspicion for the Goodwood Stakes, and after 10 to 1
had been taken, 900 to 100 was booked ; 20 fifties were
taken about Sprite, who, it was reported, J Grhushaw
would ride ; but, notwithstanding these investments, no
more than 4 to 1 was offered against Claremont, who met
with occasional support at that price. Full particulars of
the running are appended :

LADIES' TESTIMONIAL TO MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS.
—The special correspondent of the Philadelphia In-
quirer has examined a souvenir of the late rebellion, being
a present from the ladies of South Carolina to Mrs. Davis,
prepared at the outbreak of the war. The present is a
novel and handsome one, being a bouquet. of ladies' hair.
Locks of every shade and hue shed from the heads of fair
South Carolinians, and cunningly worked into the sem-
blance of a well-arranged and tastefully selected bouquet.
There are roses, buttercups, daisies, lilies, broad-leaved
japonicas, all exquisitely wrought of hair, and bearing a
marvellous resemblance to their garden prototypes. The
hair used is from the venerable grey of age to the flaxen
silk locks of youth, raven brown, auburn, blonde, all col-
ours arcrdelicately pombined, and the whole is certainly a
triumph of hair work. The petals Of a japonica are ele-
gantly worked with black hair, while the blossom is. of a
delicate flaxen hue. The buds of the flowers are repreSented
by beads. The bouquet is of full size, being at least 15in.
across at the widest part, and about 18in. in length. The
stems of the hair flowers aro tied with a bOw of blue ribbon.
The bouquet is inclosed in a square shallow case, lined with
white satin. The front is of glass, surrounded by a neat
gilt frame. On the white satin background, over the top
of the bouquet, is inscribed with a pen in indelible ink,
"C. S. A., 1861." On the left, on the bouquet, is writ-
ten, in a legible, upright hand :—" From Miss Sally L.
Hawkins." On the right " To Mrs. Jefferson Davis." This
unique bouquet graced the parlour walls 'of Mrs. Davis till
it came into the possession of its present owner, a coloured
woman, Mrs. Ellen Bond, who was a house servant the
Davis family since January 2, 1864. She says t Mrs.
Davis presented her the bouquet several months ago, and
that she removed it from the Presidential parlour to her
own humble hoine, where it remained until a few days
past, when it was sent down with Mrs. Bond's other effects.
It is now in her house at Camp Hamilton. Mrs. Davis
told her that the bouquet was made from the hair of South
Carolina ladies ; some of them that she had known well
were dead, and she did not care to. have the gift in her
possession.
FRENCH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.—At the last
sitting, a letter was received from M. Neant, in
which he describes a method of his invention for keeping
afloat a vessel about to sink, and •putting out any fires
that might happen to break out on board. His plan
consists in attaching a certain number of balloons
made of india-rubber, and inflated with air, to the
sides of the sinking vessel.—Another gentleman, M.
Silbermann, wrote to request the Academy to open a sealed
packet deposited by him on the 26th of June last. On being
opened, it was found to contain a project for the Universal
Exhibition of 1867.—1 n a paper to the Academy, M. Chat-
tenmann proposed to render vessels externally incombus-
tible by whitewashing the wood with chloride of lime.
This, he thinks, would prevent the rapid propagation of
the flames, and allow sufficient time for extinguish-
ing them.—A paper was received from Dr. Bondin on
the fulminating power of bodies recently struck by
lightning, and of which he adduces two remarkable
instances. On the 30th of June, 1854, a man was killed
by lightning near the garden of Plants at Paris ; tho body
remained for some time exposed to a pouring rain. After
the storm two soldiers, in attempting to lift up the body,
both received two violent shocks. In the other case, which
occurred at Zara,. Dalmatia, two artillerymen who had
been ordered to set up again in their former places two
telegraphic posts that had been thrown down during a
storm took hold of the telegraphic wire. . Although it was
two hours after the storm, there was so Inuchelectricity left
that the men first experienced a few slight shocks, and then
were both thrown down on the ground. The hands of
both were scorched, and one of them did not even for a
time giving any signs of life. The other, in attempting to
get up, sank down again, and in so doing touched a com-
rade, who was coming to his assistance, with his elbow.
The third man was then thrown down in his turn, expe-
rienced various nervous effects, and his arm was marked
with a burn at the spot where he had been touched by the
other man's elbow.—The Academy received a letter from
a M. Jan, in which he described a system of air-balloons
with wings, which ho considered entirely new.
The young man named Glass, who shot the poor
fellow Lynes, at Cheltenham, is a.chemist. at Bournemouth,
in Hants, and was merely on a visit at Cheltenham to re-
cord his vote, he having recently inided in that town.
PERSONS APPREHENDED LAST YEAR.—There were
51,058 crimes committed last year, and 28,704 persons ap-
prehended, and of that number 18,226 were committed for
trial. " •
