Ostroger for whom the Salipinctes division is going.
Gladiateur was firm at anything over 8 to 1; Provisor,
Gardevisure Regalia, and the Duke, were all supported for
good money at their respective quotations. Saltpinctes, after
seeing a short price for the Cesarewitch was driven to
100 to 1 shortly before the race. It is just on the cards ho

A STORY OF QUEEN CAROLINE, the narrator being
Sir William (Tell, the Queen's Chamberlain, now known
only by his account of Pompeii :—" If fate ever puts you
in the way, make her tell you how the Empress Marie
Louisa invited her to Parma ; how the attendants dined in
the outer room; and how, in full-dress feathers, and velvet
chairs with heavy gold legs and backs, the two ladies sat at
a very long tete-d-rete before dinner at a fire. You imagine
it not very entertaining; I assure you, very doll (dull), I
yarn (yawn), and she de same ; mein Gott, I balance on my
chairo mit my feet pon die fire. What you tink? I tumble
all back mit di chair, and mit meine logs in die air ; man
see nothing more als my feet. I die from laugh, and what
you tink she do ? She stir not, she laugh not ; but mit the
utmost gravity she say, ' Mon Dieu, Madame, comme vous
m'avoz effraytf.' I go in fits of laugh, and she repeat di
same word witout variation or change of feature. I not
able to resist bursting out overynnoment at dinner, and die
to get away to my gene to tel dio story. We all scream
mit di ridiculousness for my situation."
ATTEMPTED ESCAPE OF A CONVICT AT CHATHAM.
—During a thick fog at Chatham on Wednesday
morning one of the convicts, named John Milton, attempted
to effect his escape from the dockyard extension works,
upon which he and several other convicts were employed.
At the time of putting his plan into execution Milton was
enaged in assisting to unload a barge alongside the dockyard
wall, with the usual number of convict warders in attend-
ance. In the fog he succeeded in eluding their vigilance,
and let himself down to the opposite side of the barge into
the water, with the intention of swimming to the Upnor
side of the harbour, when on landing he might have
escaped through the woods. After swimming out to the
middle of the river, and not being able to see before him
for the fog, he became alarmed, and his woollen clothes
being filled with water and very heavy, he would soon have
sunk had not his cries directed attention to him. A boat
was immediately despatched to his assistacce, but in the
meantime ho had been picked up by a waterman's boat
passing over the spot. He was immediately taken to St.
Mary's Convict Prison, where he will undergo the usual
punishment inflicted on convicts who attempt to escape.
It is somewhat remarkable that only one convict has over
effectually succeeded in making his escape from Chatham,
although there have been numerous attempts. In the case .
referred to the convict got away during a very thick fog.
THE WYRE AND THE RIBBLE FISHEIHES.--At the
Preston quarter sessions yesterday, Mr. Addison made ap-
plication for the river Wyre and its tributaries, the Brock
and the Calder, to be formed into a fishery district. It was
stated that at the Lancaster sessions, on Monday, a Pr°Fc'"
aition was made to the effect that the Wyre should
L be
joined to the Lune, but it was decided to make the Lune
and its tributaries into one district, and leave the NhVycroeurt
the consideration of the magistrates at Preston.
Townoley made application for the River Ribble, sanctioned the formation of the district.. Afterwards

was agreed to.

his lordship has, strictly speaking, 110 legal right to occupy
the pulpit and take part in the services unless through
courtesy of the dean and chapter. When Bishop Ellicott
came to reside for a time in Clifton in this autumn, as he
did last year, ho wrote, as before, to the canon in residence
(the Rev. Canon Girdlestone), asking that he might have
the use of the pulpit on certain Sundays during his stay
in Bristol. It is reported that the bishop received an
answer to the effect that it would bo inconvenient, and
would derange the present order of things at the cathedral,
to appropriate any particular days for his appearance
in the pulpit ; and, altogether, the reply was of so
discouraging a character, that his lordship determined
to use Redcliff church as his cathedral during his
residence amongst us. Indeed, he gave intimation
to this effect when introducing his sermon at Redeliff on
Sunday last. The dean, we understand, was cognisant
of Canon Girdlestone's reply, and concurred in it. Report
adds that on Sunday the Bishop, just before afternoonu tthe
ser-
vice at the Cathedral, went into the Chapter-room, b
was
nature of his interview with the capitular authorities
such that he did not remain for service. If the misund er-

standing be as wo:ha,ve heard it stated, we deeply regret it,
as the place for the Bishop when in Bristol is the Cathedral,
and every facility should be afforded him for letting the
clergy and the people of the city hear him from tho most
appropriate place—namely, the pulpit of the Cathedral.—
