Highness Prince Albert granted a special interview at

honour to submit patterns of their new uniforms,
accoutrements, &c., &c., which have recently been
sanctioned by the Commander-in-Chief, and authorities
at the Horse Guards and Board of Ordnance, as the
proposed change of dress for the British army.

SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCCXVII.
I must apologise for the non-appearance of my usual
comments on the racing of Tuesday and yesterday ' • my
excuse is the crowded state of the columns of The Sun,
from the heavy debates in the House of Commons. I
take the present opportunity of glancing at the past
running of the week, and attempt to show how far it
reflects upon certain stakes at present surrounded by

clouds of doubt.
Captain Lane opened the game on Monday by win-
ning the D.M. Sweepstakes in a canter with his slashing
son of Epirus, Ephesus.
The 50 Sov. Stakes A.F. was just won out of the fire
by Alamode, a head only separating him and Diomedia ;
and Cobnut, with 71b more than the filly, and 31b more
than the colt only beaten a neck for second place. This
running was proved very true by the same animals
meeting yesterday, but at slightly different weights,
Diomedia receiving this time 61b from Alamode, in lieu
of the 41b—the difference on Monday. This 21b turned
the scale, and enabled Diomedia to bat
e her former con-
queror, Alamode. Mr. Payne's Derby animal, Speed
the Plough, had also to succumb, and was unable to
obtain anything more than a first-rate third place. The
ring betted 3 to 1 on him.
The only race requiring observation on Tuesday is the
2,000 Guinea Stakes. It was won with tolerable ease by
West Australian, but Sittingbourne. being within half a
length of him, and having done comparatively little .
work lately, spoils the look of the performance in a great
measure. Orinoco's trial, like many of the extraor-
dinary ones, has turned out to be anything but the true St. 100

SHEFFIELD.—Letters from Sheffield state the demand
for the manufactures of that place to be unprecedented,
and that the only drawback to the general prosperity is
to be found in the imprudence of the operatives. " Un-
fortunately," it is said, " our workmen, as usual, throw
away the opportunity offered by so great a demand for
goods at advanced rates of labour. At the present time
there are in the town orders for twice the number of
articles that can be made, but the men only work on the
average three days a week." It is added that there
never was greater difficulty in executing commissions of
all kinds.

NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE LIBERAL ASSOCIATION. —On
Monday, the 25th inst., a large meeting of the leading
liberals of North Lincolnshire was held at the Corn
Exchange, Lincoln. The Hon. W. J. Monson, in the
chair. Among those present we observed the Lord
Wonky, the Hon. Sir H. Dymoke, Bart. ; W. Hutton,
Esq. ; W. Cracroft, Esq., &c., when it was unanimously
resolved to bring forward two Liberal candidates to re-
place the present members for the division at the next
election. Subscriptions were announced for that pur-
pose, local committees in connection with the North
Lincolnshire Liberal Association having been already
formed in all the principal towns in the division. The
greatest enthusiasm prevailed, several resolutions were
proposed and carried, and after an unanimous vote of
thanks to the chairman, the meeting separated.
