BREADALBANE AND BROMIELAW.—MaIton was all
excitement yeSterday at the announcement that
these Derby favourites were really sold. Hitherto various
announcements have appeared, to which only the term
"rumour" could be applied, but the sale is now completed,
the sum being £ll,OOO and various contingencies for the
two horses, the buyer being Mr. Chaplin, of Lincoln. On
its being known that the horses were to remain in training
at Langholm Wold, under Mr. I'Anson's charge, the plea-
sure expressed by the Maltonians was as intense as if the ,
Derby was already won. Mr. I'Anson is a lucky man to
have a succession of "sensation" horses. He not only refused
£15,000 for Blair Athol, but also £30,000 for the Blink
Bonny family. Blair Athol was recently sold for the stud
at £7,500 ; therefore it will be seen that Mr. I'Anson has
in two months sold three horses for the extraordinary sum
of £18,500. He has still in his possession the following
mares of this famous blood :—Queen Mary, Bab-at-the-
Bowater (sister to Balrownie), Caller Ou, Bonny Breast
Knot, Bonny Bell, and Borealis, besides younger stock.
This blood (the Queen Mary dynasty) has never been
known to have either curb, spavin, or ringbone, or
to breed a roarer. Queen Mary, by Gladiator, was the
foundress of this remarkable dynasty. She is now
in foal to Stockwell, has a yearling colt by Rataplan, and
a two-year-old (Bertee) by Newminster. She bred Haricot
(dam of Caller Ou, winner of the St. Leger), Braxey;
Balrownie (fourth for the Leger), Blooming Heather
(Gorse and Maid Marian's dam), Bonnie Scotland (who
ran dead heat with Artillery for second place in Leger),
Blink Bonny (winner of the Derby and Oaks, and dam of
Blair Athol, winner of the Derby and Leger), Balnamoon,
Bab-at-the-Bowater, Bonny Breast Knot, Bonny Bell, &c.;
therefore Mr. I'Anson is yet well in for future "realisa-
tions." Breadalbane is brother to Blair Athol, but of a
larger frame, and, in consequence of Blink Bonny's death,
was suckled by a cart mare. Bromielaw is half brother,
being by Stockwell, out of Queen Mary. The public hang
to the former most, as being nearer akin to Blair Athol, but
Mr. I'Anson does not himself know which of these kinsmen
is the better horse. Both were wisely kept in last year, and
the delicate growing youngsters are now the admiration of
the sporting world. As untried horses their prices are
something marvellous.
DONCASTER SPRING MEETING.—Since this meeting has
been taken in hand by the corporation the added money
has been increased, in order to secure a good meeting. The
United Hunt Stakes, with 50 added; the Londesborough
Plate, with 100 added ; the Don Steeplecase, with 50 added;
and the Chesterfield Handicap, with 100 added, all close
and name on Feb. 7. It will be seen that the Hunt Stakes
is now thrown open to all England, which will be doubt-
less the means of procuring a larger entry.
The late Mr. W. Cooper's stud will be sold by Messrs
Tattersall, at Banbury, on Wednesday next, Feb. 1. Those
who knew Mr. Cooper, or who have seen him go over a
country, will easily understand the good sort of horse he
would have ; whilst amongst the many winners bred at
Farnborough-hill were The Mite, The Morsel, The Miner,
Odiham, Black Bess, Hungerford, and Meanwood. There
is some of this blood' still in the catalogue, and the day be-
ing an easy " out and in," the run down may be well worth
all the money.
CATTERICK BRIDGE RACES.-071 Tuesday, Feb. 7, the
following stakes will close and name for these races :—The
Oran Stakes of 5 sovs each, 3 ft, with 50 added, for two-yr-
olds, T.Y.C. ; the Hornby Handicap of 7 sovs each, 5 ft,
and 2 if declared, &c., for three-yr-olds and upwards, with
50 added ; the Brough Handicap of 50 soya, added to a

WINDSOR RACES.—A "legitimate" meeting is about to be
instituted at Windsor, on a very excellent piece of land,
about one mile from the town. A permanent stand will be
erected, and the first fixture will be the 17th and 18th of
August. Further particulars will be duly announced. The
business arrangements of the meeting have been entrusted
to a well-known and influential official.

SALE OF BREADALBANE AND BROOMIELAW.-Mr. I'Anson
informs us that ho has sold Breadalbano and Broomielaw
to Mr. Chaplin for £ll,OOO, with its contingencies, but that
they remain in his stable. The sum is an unprecedented
ono for two " dark" horses to fetch, and we hope, for the
sake of their plucky purchaser,7,they will provo worth the

money.
The Fitzwilliam Hunt Steeple Chases are fixed to take
place at Walton, near Peterborough, on Thursday, Feb. 23,
and the following noblemen and gentlemen have consented
to act as stewards :—Earl of Westmoreland, Lord Proby,

Esqs. Four races are advertised, and £145 added money.
WAnwreK SPRING MEETING.—The Trial Stakes, the
Willoughby Handicap, the Two Year Old Stakes of 25
sovs. each, the Great Warwickshire, the Two Year Old
Race of 5 sovs. and 50 added, the Hurdle Race, and the
Grand Annual Steeple Chase close and name on the first
Tuesday in February.
Blackheath and Woolwich Flat Races and Steeple Chases,
in consequence of the extreme severity of the weather, have
been postponed to Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 7 and 8.
A meeting, combining flat and cross country racing, has
also been fixed at the above place for April 17.

bury, near Cheltenham ; Arcus, aged ; Leicester, aged ;

CALLER Ot7.—This celebratedivnare has already paid for-
feit for the Chester Cup, and it is stated on good authority
that her brilliant turf career has' terminated, and that she
will next season be put to the Aid. Her retirement will
leave Queen's Plates more of u "open question" than
during the past three years of th e mare's extraordinary
career. It may be mentioned that aller Ou won no fewer
than 29 Queen's Plates from three to six years old, viz.—
One in 1861, 3 in 1862, 15 in 1863, and 10 in 1864. Fisher-
man's scoring in Queen's Plates was 26, Dbtained as under:
—Five at three years old, ten at four yeat.s old, ten at five
years old, and one at six years old. Ratulan, the next
high scorer, won 21 of Her Majesty's Plates, as under:—
Nine at four years old and twelve At five years old, so that
Mr.
PAnson has beaten both those celebrities.

The Late Fatal Accident at Westminster.

The following is a list of the persons most severely
injured at present lying at the Westminster Hos-
pital:—

Mary Ansbury, fractured arm, fractured ribs, and con-
cussion of the brain ; this is a very serious case.
A woman whose name is unknown, and who has notyot
been identified in any way, has fractured ribs, severe
comminuted fracture of the leg, and fractured arm. She
has been insensible ever since she was brought into the
hospital, and no hopes whatever can be reasonably enter-
tained of her recovery.

Ann Keeley has sustained a compound comminuted
fracture on the nasal and maxilliary bones, and severe
Lacerated wound in the face. This is also a case ivhich

is hopeless.

Eliza Shaw has also a lacerated wound on the forehead,
a fracture on the frontal bone a-ad concussion on the brain.
The surgeon gives but very little hope of this case.

Mary Neil has fractured ribs and lacerated Wound on

the face.
Mary Cooper has comminuted fracture of the clavicle),
ractured ribs, and lacerated wound on the forehead..

Agnes Magrath, a little girl, has fractured ribs and frac_
',tired humerus.

James Magrath, father of the above-mentioned patient,
Las fractured scapula, and his foot has sustained severe

injuries.

Margaret Downing has compound fracture of the arm
and concussion of the spine ; this is another case which
it is much to be feared will have a fatal termination.

Ellen Shaw, sister of the previously mentioned inmate
of the hospital, has severe lacerated wound in the arm and
concussion of the spine, injuries which, like those of her
sister, have but slight hopes of a favourable result.
Bridget Lench has fractured femur and severe contusions
of her back and side.

Kate Scammerton has fractured clavicle, fractured arm,
and severe contusions of the leg and foot.
Michael Murphy, fracture at the base of the brain, and
fractured ribs.

tobert Howell, concussion of the spine and other in.

THE ELECTRIC AND INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPH
COMPANV.-At a meeting of the board of directors of this
company, held this day, it was resolved to recommend to
the proprietors at the general meeting to be held at the
company's office, Telegraph-street, Moorgate-street, on.
Friday, Feb. 10 next, to confirm a dividend of 4 per cent.
for the last half year.
The Dundee Advertiser has been informed that

the late Captain Mitchell, of Baldovio and Balfour, Forfar-
shire, has left the sum of .£50,000 to the Roman Catholic

MR. PEABODY'S PORTRAIT.—A handsome full-
length portrait of our philanthropic fellow-citizen, George
Peabody, Esq., will be presented to the Corporation, at the
next meeting of the Court of Common Council, by a gentle•
man well known in the City.—City Press.
FRENCH WINES.—The quantities of vies ordi-
naires exported from France in the first 11 months of
last year amounted to 2,142,959 hectolitres, against
1,870,070 in 1863, and 1,697,048 in 1862 (corresponding
periods). The kingdom of Italy appears to be the largest
consumer of French common wines, having taken 296,333
hectolitres to November 30 last year, against 180,929 in
1863,and 131,340 in 1862. Alegeria comes next with 279,602
hectolitres to November 30 last year; then Switzerland
with 256,522 ; then England with 145,270 (against 123,028
in the corresponding period of 1863, and 87,866 in 1862);
then Belgium with 135,113; then the United States with
132,912 ; then the Hanse Towns with 104,455 ; then Brazil
with 101,103 ; and then the German Association with
44,588. The balance of 649,062 hectolitres required to
complete the total for the first eleven months of 1864 was

made up by other countries not particularly designated.
Although England stands only fourth in the list as a con-
sumer of French ordinary wines, she is by far the largest
consumer of French brandies ; and even as regards the'
wines just mentioned the English demand for thorn will bo
seen to have considerably increased in 1863 and 1864.

alms beggar. Necessity drove him to the house of a gen..
tleman who, in his official duty, had superintended the
execution. He recognised, relieved, and dismissed him,
not being disposed to pursue the matter further. But,
first, as a
tphysieal inquiry, asked him to describe his
sensations on being turned off. He replied that he
felt tho jerk, but not so acutely as to produce
insensibility or even confusion. He appeared to have the
power of looking above, below, and around. All was of a
bright vermillion colour. An agreeable sensation then
crept through his frame, until he became insensible.
" But," ho added, " I can find no words to express the
