DIEPPE GRAND STEEPLECHASE.

This event, which excited great interest in the French
and English steeplechase circles, came off on Sunday
last in the presence of thousands of spectators drawn
together from all parts of France. The weather was
delightful and the arrangements excellent. The line of
country was extremely severe, and numerous accidents
occurred. Subjoined is a brief return :

Eight others started. Ploughboy made all the run-
ning, and won cleverly at the finish by a length and a
half. Friendless, Lady Arthur, Johnnie Barrie, and
Cervus fell. Donaldson, who was riding Lady Arthur,
fell at the wall, and we regret to state that he now lies
a very dangerous condition.

[ADVERTISESIE]IIoIIoway's Ointment and Pills
are superior remedies for the cure of erysipelas.—Mr.
William Parsons, of St. George's, Pill, near Bristol, was
afflicted for upwards of two years with erysipelas in his
legs, so bad at times as to lay him up for a month toge-
ther ; the medical aid he received, besides a weekly at-
tendance at the Bristol Infirmary, bad no good effect
whatever in the disease, consequently he determined on
giving Holloway's Ointment and Pills a trial, and they
have been the means of effecting a radical cure of his
legs in an almost unprecedented short time.- Sold by
all druggists, and at ProfesSor Holloway's establishment,

( From the Inverness A dvertiser. )
MEETING AT GRANTOWN.

The meeting of the gentlemen of Strathspey, to adopt
measures for the promotion of this undertaking, took
place at Grantown on Tuesday as advertised ; but in
consequence of the death of the proprietor of this exten-
sive district of country—the Earl of &afield —it was
thought that it would be more respectful and becoming
for the tenantry on the estate, and other resident in-
habitants, to adjourn than to proceed to business.
Under the influence of this feeling many gentlemen who
intended to be present kept away ; but on the doors of
the Court-house being thrown open at one o'clock p.m.,
a large assemblage pressed in, evincing an eagerness
that a strong expression of interest in the object of the
meeting should be made on the very earliest opportunity.
Among those present we noticed—Mr. Cumming,
Benanach, late Provost of Inverness ; the Rev. James
Stewart, minister of Abernethy ; Dr. Edward, Gran-
town ; Mr. Ogilvie, banker, Grantown ; Mr. Fleming,
banker there ; Mr. Stewart, Dalvey ; Mr. Fraser,
Auchernach ; Mr. J. Gordon, Grantown ; Mr. Grant,
Ballifurth ; Mr. Shaw, Achgowrish ; Mr. J. Grant,
Grantown ; Mr. Cumming, Mullochard ; Major Cruick-
shank ; Mr. F. Mackintosh, Grantown ; Mr. A. Gill,
ditto ; Rev. Mr. Clark, ditto ; Mr. Donald Grant,
writer, do. ; Mr. Smith, ditto ; Mr. Grant, Rothiemoon ;
Mr. Macgregor, Balineanach ; Mr. A. Macpherson,
Grantown ; Mr. J. Grant, jun., ditto ; Mr. Grant,
Mr. Macgreggor, Burnside ; Mr. Calder, Grantown ;
Mr. John Robertson, Lethandry ; Mr. Grant, Tulloch-
gorrn ; Mr.Macqueen, Grantown ; Mr. John Robertson,
Craggan ; Mr. Allan, Easter Duthell ; Mr. John Cruick-
shanks, Dreggie ; Mr. Cumming, jun., Delnahartnich ;
Mr. A. Macqueen, Gallovie ; Mr. R. Dunbar, Gran-
town ; Mr. Grant, Delahapple • Mr. Fraser, Achna-
gonalan ; Mr. Charles Grant, Advie ; Mr. Grant, Dal-
chroy ; Mr. Gordon, Ballintomb ; Mr. A. Cameron,
Aitenlea ; Mr. Grant, Chra,ggan ; Mr. D. M'Donald,
Gorton ; Mr. A. Clark, Laggan ; Mr. A. Macdonald,
Dreggie ; Mr. Bain, Grantown • Mr. D. Anderson,
Achernach ; Mr. D. Harvey, merchant, Grantown ; Mr.
Sim, merchant, ditto, &c. Provost Cumming was called
to the chair, and explained generally the object of the
meeting, which was to express their interest in the pro-
posed direct line of railway betwixt Perth and Inverness,
and to take active measures for its promotion ; but as
within the last few days an event had occurred which
deprived most of the gentlemen present of a kind and in-
dulgent landlord, whose death would be universally regret-
ted, but more especially felt as a severe loss in the district
of Strathspey, he (the Chairman) thought it would bestac-
cord with their own feelings, and be more respectful to the
memory of the deceased and to the noble family of Grant,
that the meeting should not enter upon business, but
adjourn to a future day. Dr. Edward thereupon moved
that in consequence of the lamented death of the Earl of
Sea.field, and from respect to his memory, the meeting
adjourn to a day after his lordship's funeral, to be fixed
and announced in the newspapers by the committee for-
merly appointed to arrange the details of the business
for which this meeting was convened. The Rev. Mr.
Stewart, in seconding the motion, again spoke more at
large on the character of the deceased Earl, who was
endeared to his friends and tenantry by a long series of
acts of benevolence, and of tender solicitude for their
welfare. The motion was unanimously agreed to, and
thanks being voted to the chairman for his conduct in
the chair, the meeting dispersed.
