SALISBURY RACES.—FRIDAY.
Every movementupon the forthcoming Derby being now
watched with feverish anticipation, the doings anent that
all important contest was truly the feature of the proceed-
ings at Salisbury. Last year Scottish Chief experienced
some opposition for " the blue riband," and the only move-
ment of consequence adverse to the favourites was that
againstWild.Charley, who at one time during the afternoon
went to 15 to 1, but subsequently returned to his old price,
12 to 1, though it was evident that Mr. Merry's representa-
tive was in a very unsettled position. Koenig and Kangaroo
were hopelessly knocked out of the market, and their
stable companion The Duke was by no means in such
good colour, Gladiateur was firm at 11 to 2, and 8 to 1
would have been eagerly taken about Archimedes if it
could have been obtained. Longdown was not so firm, but
Christmas Carol was in better demand. The only feature
of the day's racing was the Queen's Plate, which produced
a most exciting contest with Friday, Blackdown, and
Ackworth, the latter of whom, though he ran gamely,
could never quite reach Friday in the final struggle, Mr.
Parr's young 'un winning cleverly at the finish. After the
race 1,000 to 20 was several times taken about Friday for
the Derby, but afterwards 1,000 to 15 was laid. Subsb-
quently, however, en route to town 1,000 to 20 was three
or four times booked about the scion of Defiance and Con-
stance. Appended is a full return of the day's racing:—

MERCANTILE MARINE FUND.—By a return issued
yesterday it appears that the receipts to this fund in the
year 1864 amounted to £200,000 Exchequer Bills, and
£87,615 ss. 7d. cash. The payments left a balance at the
end of the year of £160,000 Exchequer Bills, and £39,092
16s. Dd. cash.

General Sir FREDK. SMMI, M.P., responded for
the Army, Admiral Sir GEORGE BACK for the Navy,
and Alderman ROSE, M.P., for the Volunteers.
The toast of " The House of Lords" was next
given, and Lord BELPER responded.
The LORD MAYOR proposed " General Sabine, the
President, and the Council of the Royal Society."
In doing so he observed that he felt honoured be-
yond measure at finding around him as iarge if not
a larger amount of talent than ever before assembled
within those walls—men of science whose efforts had
done so much good in the county at rarge. (Ap-
plause.) It had always been his wish that if ever
he should become Lord Mayor of London he might
have the honour of entertaining a body of gentlemn
who were distinguished in this country for their
scientific attainments, and for the great benefits
they had conferred upon mankind. There could be
no doubt that the men of science had been of infinite
benefit to their race. (Hear, hear.) The country
had its army and navy to defend their homes, and
they were most thankful for what the army and the
navy had done ; but still there was work to be done
at home, and it was interesting to observe that im-
provement after improvement was carried out
through the progress of science, to the comfort and
happiness of the world. There were many noble-
men and gentlemen who devoted their time and
their talents to scientific purposes, and it was grati-
fying to him, as it must also be to all present, to
acknowledge the many great discoveries which were
made under their auspices or with their assistance.
They were honoured that evening with the presence
of the President, Council, and Fellows of the Royal
Society, and he called upon the company to respond
to the toast in such a manner as • would show how
highly they valued the important information they
communicated with one country to anrther through-
out the country. (Cheers.)
General SABINE returned thanks. Having traced
the history , and stated some particulars regarding
the preset t position of the Royal Society, he said it
could eot be otherwise than gratifying to him to
hear from the lips of the chief magistrate of the city
of London an acknowledgement of the benefits
which the Royal Society and other kindred insti-
tutions, had conferred upon society. Every scientific
institutions in the metropolis must be considered to
have added its preportion at least to the benefits
which had been rendered by the Royal Society ;
and, therefore, he felt, as the representative of that
society, that he must express his gratitude to the
Lord Mayor for the manner in which he had
spoken of the general progress and advantages of
science. As regarded the members of the Royal
Society, he might truly say that every opportunity
of meeting the citizens of London was to them pecu-
liarly agreeable. In the early period of their history
they had their home under the fostering care of the
Gresham College, and they could not readily forget
the many benefits they then received from that
valued institution. Since that time science had ad-
vanced with the national prosperity, and he must
be permitted to say that the scientific resources of
the country had been developed in a degree which
he could only regard as marvellous, and it gave him
considerable pleasure to hear the fact recognised
upon festive festive occasions such as the present.
(Cheers.)
Lord CHELMSFORD proposed "The Health of the
Lord Mayor." It had been his good fortune on
many occasions to partake of the hospitality of the
city of London. lie had sat in that hall when the
Government of the country were being honoured ;
he had sat there in the ranks of those who were en-

gaged in the chilling duty of the Opposition ; he had
sat there when the heads of the Church and of the
law had been entertained; but he had never been
there to do honour to a more interesting occasion
than the present. It was indeed satisfactory that
the Lord Mayor should make the Royal Society the
nucleus of bringing together all those who were
famous in literature and science. (Applause.) Those
who were not scientific, and like himself had the
privilege of associating with some of the most dis-
tinguished men of the day, might perhaps be able to
say when they left that magnificent hall, with the
nightingale in the Eastern fable, " I have lived with
the rose, and smelt of its sweetness." Those who,
like him, were not connected with science, should
value highly the privilege of being associated with
the scientific gentlemen present. He could not but
feel deeply the honour of being associated with
them, and he begged to propose the health of the
Lord Mayor. (Cheers.)
_ _

The LORD MAYOR briefly acknowledged the com-
pliment, and proposed " The Royal Geographical
Society, associated With the name of Sir Roderick
Murchison."

Sir RODERICK MURCHISON gracefully responded
to the toast.

Among the other toasts were—" Practical Science,"
spoken to by Sir J. RENNIE ; the " House of Com-
mons," Mr. WALPOLF, M.P., responding ; and the
" Health of the Lord Mayor of Dublin, and the
Mayors of Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham,"
to which the LORD MAYOR of Dublin replied in an
effective speech, availing himself of the occasion to
refer to the success which had attended the opening
of the Dublin Exhibition.

The banquet was admirably served by Messrs
Ring ant Bryiner.

Under the direction of Mr. J. L. Hatton, there
was a charming selection of vocal music performed
by the Misses Wells and Mr. Chaplin Henry.
Mr. Harker acted as toastmaster.
