SPORTING- NOTES.

A LOOK-OUT AT LIVERPOOL.

The "Cup Day" was drearily celebrated. Rain fell
heavily throughout the morning, damping the spirits of
the visitors, who, however, solemnly pursued the sport
with unshaken determination. The muster of spectators
was far from numerous, the unpropitious weather ex-
ercising a diminishing effect on the attendance. A high
and bitterly cold wind increased the prevailing discom-
fort—a feeling which was scarcely counteracted by the
excitement which attended the principal contests.
The order of running was most injudiciously fixed.
The first " event"—a walk over—being at 2 o'clock and
the "Cup" at 4. They, therefore, who wished to reach
London by the 5 o'clock "express," were compelled to
use most inconvenient haste to catch the train.

The Deformed justified the openly expressed confi-
dence of his owner, by defeating a field of seven for the
Derby Handicap. The race' between Doublethong and
Hobby-horse for the Foal Stakes, was regarded with
particular interest ; the latter having been somewhat
heavily backed for the Goodwood Stakes. Coming up the
distance, a close contest was promised, but Hobby-
horse easily stalled off his opponent, who was vigor-
ously roused by the applications of Nat's " doublethong."
After the race Hobby-horse was in increased demand
for the Goodwood Stakes, his victory giving additional
encouragement to his backers.
Fourteen competed for the Cup, but from the dis-
tance the race was entirely between two—Goorkah and
The Alp. Goorkah won easily by two lengths. John
Osborne was very "sweet" on his old horse, and con-
sidered the heavy plashy state of the ground very
favourable to his chance. Goorkah's party have esta-
blished a reputation for shrewd tacticians. The man-
ner in which they " worked the oracle," or " rigged
the market," proved them to be perfect masters of their
craft. Cariboo was in the ruck throughout. Indeed,
Missive was a very bad third, finishing alongside of
Richmond O'Hanlon, and the others pulled up beaten
off. Montague was backed with much confidence at
the close of the betting at 3 to 1 and 7 to 2.
The other races were too unimportant to require
comment. _ _

day, at which resolutions were passed objecting to the
clauses in the new Government measure proposing a re-
duction in the rate of interest, the transfer of surplus
funds to the account of the National Debt Commis-
s'oners, and the unlimited responsibility thrown upon

ceived yes: erday of the arrival of the Australian steam-
s:lin Victoria, which sailed from Gravesend on the 19th
of :June, at St. Vincent's, after a satisfactory passage of
10 days and 15 hours.
'CHE CROWN PaINCE OF HANOVER.—Accordeg to let-
ters received from Hanover, it appears that the Crown

media,:ely upon his arrival in Hanover, having caught
the disease from the Prince of Wales.

FUNERAL OF THE LATE MARCHIONESS OF ANGLESEY.
—Yesterday morning the remains of the late Marchioness
of Anglesey were removed from Anglesey House, Bur-
lington-gardens, to the Euston-square station of the
Landon and North-Western Railway, from whence they
were conveyed, by special trrin, to Lichfield, en route
to the family seat, at Beaudesert. The outer or state
coffin, is a splendid speclman of workmanship, belng
manufactured of the finest Spanish mahogany, covered
with rich Genoa velvet, thickly studded with gilt nails
and ornaments. On the sides and either hands are eight
massive gilt handles, curiously chased, each being sur-
mounted by a coronet. On the lid is an emblamatical
device of the torch of life. The plate, sulmounted by a
coronet, bears the following inscription :—Charlotte,
wife of Henry William, first Marquis of Anglesey,
G.C.8., P.C., &c. Born 11th July, 1781 ; died
Bth July, 1853." The remains will be removed this
day from Beaudesert to the cathedral, Lichfield, where
the obsequies will be performed, and the body deposited
in the family vault. 7he church at Beaudesert and the
cathedral have been hung in black pending the solem-
nities.
ROYAL ORTHOP/EDIC HOSPITAL.—The friends of this
hospital are making endeavours to raise sufficient funds
to erect a new building, capable of accommodating a
much larger number of patients than the present limited
establishment in Bloomsbury-square. It appears that
patients are received from all parts of the kingdom—
,club-foot, curvature of the spine, and other deformities,
kr the cure of which the hospital was established, being
exwedingly prevalent among the poorer classes. Since
1839 more than 14,000 severe cases have been cured
without the occurrence of a single death, or case of per-
manent injury. The number benefited by the charity
will be greatly increased by the enlargement, as a con-
siderable ;lumber are necessarily deferred from day to
\day, owing to the present lack of accommodation.
SUSPECTED MURDER NEAR WlNDSOR.—Yesterday
afternoon an inquiry which had commenced on Tuesday,
before Mr. John Charsley, one of the cproners for Bucks,
was resumed and concluded at the Horse and Groom,
Datchet, touching the death of William Heap, a lad
about 17 years of age, in the employ of Messrs. Caley,
silk mercers, of Windsor. It appears that the deceased
was formerly employed as a labourer on the internal
works of Windsor Castle, but had been with the Messrs.
Caley, as errand boy, for the last six. months, performing
h's duties to their ent're satisfac:,!on. On the after-
noon of Wednesday sear'nnight he was sent
and delivered
with parcels
through Eton, Upton-pk, and Langley,
his last package at Middle-g:eeu, in the last-named

aDatchet and the Home-park. Not arriving home, the
iWleirnd nsincer,
Messrs. Caley caused every search to be made for him,
without effect, until Monday morning, when his body
was discovered floating in a small piece of "buck" water,
at the bottom of a meadow, adjoining the Thames,
near the village of Datchet. No cause could be assigned
for self-destruction, and his parents stated their belief
that deceased was "too good a boy" to attempt any-
thing of the kind. At the same time it was recollected
that deceased had been brutally assaulted, and nearly
killed, on Datchet old bridge some three years ago by a
drover boy named Blackall, who was taken before the
magistrates and heavily fined. One or two of the inha-
bitants of Datchet felt positive that Blackall passed
through the village on the Wednesday evening, and the
case seemed not only mysterious, but full of suspicion.
.At the adjourned inquest, however, yesterday, two sur-
geons, who had made the pose mo) tent examination, de-
posed that they could trace no marks of violence either
externally or internally, and that the body presented no
other appearances than those found on drowned persons.
Blackall was also brought up, and he clearly established
an alibi, proving at the same time that not the slightest
ill-feeling had ever existed between himself and deceased
since the period of the assault. Under these circum-
stances 09 jury rj?tur4ed *verdict of "Wound drowned,"
