INTRRNATIONAL CHESS CONGRESS.

by the Westerns at a fine pace, but the Lambeth imme-
diately came at a dashing pace into the second place, and
again and again made some desperate efforts for first, but
the winners maintained the lead, winning by two lengths ;
there was the same distance between the second and
third.

The chess congress; commenced its public sittings
yesterday in St. James's-hall, when not less than
two hundred of the most distinguished chess players
from all parts of the world assembled together. For
some time past the congress has held meetings at
the various clubs in London, and some progress had
been made in the two great tournaments now in
course of playing. Of these tournaments the
one is for a prize of .£loo,with five others of smaller
amount ; and the second, a handicap tournament, is
for a first prize of £6O, and also five others of in-

The course in the above races was between Putney-bridge
and Chiswick Eyot.

Pair-oared Race. Open to the World.
E. Winship and R. Chambers, Newcastle
H. Kelly, Putney, and W. Bell, Richmond
H. Clasper and J. H. Clasper, Newcastle
The last-named pair were the renowned Harry Clasper
and his son, but Winship and Chambers (the non-resident
champion of the Thames) were the favourites; the second
named pair, Kelly (the ex-chaccpion of the Thames) and
his partner being however backed by some people. The
Claspers had the best position, 13eing on the Middlesex side.
They were admirably started, and all went away together,
Kelly with a momentary lead. Winship and his partner
immediately after began to draw slightly, and the Claspers
looked well for (second place, Kelly and his partner not
being able to keep their boat steady, Winship and
Chambers, continually gained, foot by foot, until off
the committee's barge, where they were exactly their
own length clear. ljp to this the other two boats
were strictly level, but here Kelly and Bell settling
down to their work more steadily, suddenly dashed nearly
half a length ahead of the Claspers, when the latter, just
below the point, as they were mending their position a little,
fouled a boat, and the others went right away, Winship aid
his partner winning by ten lengths, easily.

ferior value.
The chief attraction of yesterday's proceedings
was the game between Herr Anderson—the cham-
pion of the great meeting of 1851—and Mr. Paul-
sen,the American player, both gentlemen being
competitors in the great tournament, the number of
competitors in which is 14. The game lasted four
hours, and excited the utmost interest among the
numerous groups who surrounded the table. Among
those present were Lord Lyttleton, the president of
the Chess Association ; Lord Ravensworth, Captain
H. A. Kennedy, one of the vice-presidents of the
Chess Association ; Mr. Mongredien,Mr. Hampton,
and Mr. Medic ; the chairman of the committee-
treasurer, and secretary of the Chess Association ;
Mr. Staunton, and a large number of both English
and foreign players The game ultimately termi-
nated in favour of Herr Andet son, who in all pro-
bability will carry off the chief prize in the tourna-
ment. The other games played were between Mr.
Barnes and Mr. Green—Barnes winning ; Senor
Dubois and Mr. Blackburn—a drawn game; and
Mr. Owen and 'Herr Steinitz. In the Handicap
Tournament Herr Andersen beat,Mr. Lamb giving
him a knight; and Mr. Wilson, won a game from
Herr Steinitz. In the evening a grand match was
played between the London Club and the St.
James's Club—two of the leading English clubs.
The pleyers representing the London Club were
Messrs. Mongredien, Medley, Deacon, Greenaway,
Bellieff, Schroeder, Maude, and Parminter, who
were respectively opposed by Messrs. Hannah
Stewart de St. Bon, Green, Sich, Howard, Young,
and Puller. The match did not terminate until a
late hour. At the hour of leaving, the London
Club had won four games, the St. James's Club one
game.
The whole of the arrangements of the meeting
were under the management of Herr Lowenthal,
who is himself a player in the tournaments, and
will probably carry off the prize in the handicap
contest. The management of the proceedings was
throughout admirable,and gave the greatest satisfac-
tion to the numerous visitors who thronged the hall.
On Saturday next the congress forms itself into a
deliberative body, for the purpose of revising the
laws of chess and establishing an authoritative code
that shall be universally accepted by all the chess-
playing nations. The result of these deliberations is
looked forward to with great interest. On two other
days of the sitting of the congress M. Paulsen and
Mr, Blackburne will display their extraordinary
powers by playing ten games with eminent players
simultanecusly and blindfolded ; and on Thursday
there will be a grand match between the London and
Paris Clubs, the electric wires being brought into
the St. James's Hall and the Paris Club Room, in
order to obtain instantaneous communication be-
tween the players. The sitting of the congress will
probably extend through the present month, there
being upwards of 450 problems to adjudicate upon
as competitors for the problem prizes. The public
sittings terminate with the present week, the re-
mainder of the sittings of the congress taking place
at the various clubs in London. 4

First Heat.

J. W. Tagg, Molesey
J. Callas, Richmond
These were the only two who came to the post, and as
the first two were entitled to row in the grand heat, there
was no necessity for an effort.

Second Heat.

G. Wise, Kew
G. Sheppard, Chelsea
H. Stratford, Lambeth
Wise went off with a slight lead, but received a slight
check by not getting his water clear on one of his sculls,
and the others were full level again. Wise off the com-
mittee's barge, renewed the lead, and going in advance,
won as he liked. Stratford dashed into the second place
off the point, but rowing wildly, went into the bank, and
the others proceeded onward.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOClETY.—Yesterday 1
being the first of the three one-shilling days, an enormous
number of persons flocked to Battersea Park by steamboats
and omnibuses. those who adopted the former mode of con-
veyance being exposed to great danger from the over-
crowding of the boats. From about nine in the morning
up to half•past four we were informed that the numbers
exceeded 40,000; and from that hour numberless boats ar-
rived in quick suocession, heavily freighted with passen-
gers, up to six o'clock, so that we have no doubt that we
may safely estimate the numbers at 50,000. The ample
space afforded for the animals exhibited and for the hosts of
visitors rendered it impossible to arrive at a strictly correct
estimate, but we believe we may venture to give the result
stated. The machinery and implement department natu-
rally attracted intense interest. We have already given
such an elaborate detail of the cattle, sheep, and pigs, that
it is needless to dilate further upon that point ; but we can-
not omit to allude to the display of entire horses, which
created a furore, the specimens being marveilously fine.
The arrangements were so perfect that nothing was;want-
ing to heighten the interest of this unequalled show. The
specimens of foreign cattle appeared to astonish a vast num-
ber of practical farmers, though the superiority in breed
and symmetry was acknowledged to rest with the English
cattle. The French merino sheep were universally com-
mended. Looking to this as the first " shilling," day we
cannot doubt that the society will be reimbursed the re-
sponsibility which they have incurred, to the extent, we
believe, of £20,000.
A large return may fairly be antici-
pated also from the continued public exhibition of steam
ploughs at work yesterday, to-day, and to-morrow, near
Farningham, every facility being given to visitors by trains
from the Victoria station.

mense revenues which are annually dissipated, and
to send to a country, where even garments of the
lightest possible texture are barely supportable,
cast-off European wearing apparel—as do the sup-
porters of some African missions—for the use of the
negroes, is not only reprehensible, but particularly
ridiculous." This is" very much to the

though it will scarcely find favour at Exeter Hall.
And we suspect that some of the tales of missionary
misdoings here related will, by charitable old ladies
and precocious pious infants, be considered a con-
vincing proof of his unregenerate state. His account
of some of the Indian tribes is extremely curious,
and his comments on the capabilities of the country
and the best means of developing them are worthy
attentive consideration.

Bryaraetone Square. By Noell Itadediffe. 2 Vols.
Hurst and Btsekett.
The chief defect of this novel is, that' it wants a
third volume to complete it. The story is cleverly
written so far as it goes, but it leaves a degree of
uncertainty on the reader's mind as to the after
career of the actors in it, which is, we think,
detrimental to that completeness of ef-
fect which a work of art should possess.
The chief character in it is a clever but unprincipled
girl named Laura Whitmore, who has had the mis-
fortune to be influenced by vicious example when
young, and proves the truth of the saying, that
"As the twig is bent the tree's inclined" Being
thrown friendless on the world, she is received into
the family of Mr. Stainforth, a rich merchant, who

lives with a sou and niece in Bryanstone-square ;
and as she is extremely beautiful, the son is smitten
with her, although she is several years his senior.
She accepts his offer, but at the same time flirts
with a Mr. Merton, to whom she grants secret in-
terviews; and on Walter Stainforth discovering
this, notwithstanding her attempt at concealment
and positive denial, he at once gives her up. Thus,
disappointed in the son, she determines to catch
the father, succeeds, and having become mistress of
the mansion in Bry anstone-square, she amuses her-
self by persecuting her former lover, now become
her stepson, and renews her intrigue with Merton.
This Walter discovers and communicates to his
father ; but the latter, cajoled by the artifices of his
guilty wife, tretits it as a calumny and discards the
unlucky informer, who, in this strait (being in the
army), exchanges into an infantry regiment about
to proceed to India, marries his cousin Ida, and the
tale abruptly closes, leaving Mrs. Stainforth and
her paramour in undisturbed enjoyment of guilty
bliss.

Grandmother's Money. Hurst and Blackett.

This novel, the twenty-third volume of Messrs.
Hurst and Blackett's Standard Library, will vie in
interest with any of those preceding it. We have
already, on more than one occasion, expressed our
favourable opinion of this issue. For elegance of
form, and excellence of type, it is all that could be
desired, whilst the price is extremely moderate.

Intellectual Education, and its Influence on the
Character and Happiness of Women. By Emily
Shirreff. Smith, Elder, and Co.
The fact of a new edition of this work having
been called for is the best commentary on its us( -
fulness. It not only treats of the " Application of
general principles to Female Education," but enters
largely into the method of training children, and
concludes with a discussion of " Some peculiarities
of woman's social position." With regard to the
education of children she makes many sensible re-
marks. For instance—" Fairy Tales have fallen so
sadly under the ban of educational censure that
they would require a longer apology than I have
space for to reinstate them in favour. In my opi-
nion it is at once a false view of fiction, and a nar.
row view of truth, which would force children away
from those pleasant old paths to dwell in dull re-
alities for ever.' I believe fairy tales afford a far
more healthy form of amusement to children
than most of the stories of so-called real
life that our modern libraries team with.
Those wonderfully good or clever little boys and
girls, who instruct and reform their parents ; or
those young reprobates held up as patterns of cor-
ruption for doing the mischief which most children
have a sympathy with, and yet cannot feel them-
selves to be so very wicked for loving; these are
what really teach untruths, for they give false
notions of actual life, and lead to false expectation
and estimation of character. Like novels, which I
had occasion formerly to contrast with the reading
of elevated fiction in poetry, they have all the evil
of fiction unredeemed by that exercise of the fancy
which more imaginative works afford."

Studies in Animal Life. By G. H. Lewes. Smith,

Elder, and Co.
Those who delight in natural history
will cor-
dially welcome this volume of essays, reprinted
from the Cornhill Magazine, on a subject which
few have succeeded in making so interesting as Mr.
Lewis, a result arising in no slight measure from
his clear and eloquent style. Thus—" Nature is
economic as well as prodigal of space. She fills the
rah
illimitable heavens with planetary and starry g
deurs, and she makes the tiny atoms moving over
the crust of earth the homes of the infinitely little.
Far as the mightiest telescope caa reach it detects
worlds in clusters, like pebbles on the shores of
Infinitude ; deep as the microscope can penetrate,
it detects life within life, generation within gene_
ration ; as if the very universe itself was not vast
enough for the energies of life."

Wlielbysed in
Kent Modern

The believers in omens, dreams,

and other signs and tokens by which future events
are supposed to foreshadow themselves, will no
doubt find this pleasant reading. The examples are
collected from a great variety of sources, and vary
degree of authenticity.

The Products and .Resources of Tasmania. By
George Whiting. Printed at the Daily Adver-
tiser Steam Press, Hobart Town.
Although this pamphlet has been compiled with
especial reference to the display of Tasmanian pro-
ducts in the International Exhibition, the informa-
tion contained in it will be valuable to those who
may think of emigrating to that colony, inasmuch
as the physical geography and the political institu-
tions, as well as the coal fields, mines, and pastural
and horticultural aspects of the country are de-
scribed in it. At the end is given an account of the
different vegetable products shown in the Interna-
tional Exhibition, with a description of the climate.
