MISCELLANEOUS.

The Eclectic Review, in an article on " Constitu-
tional Fallacies and Unreformed Abuses," argues
ably in favour of an extension of the elective suffrage.
The People's Journal gives a portrait of Charles
Mackay, accompanied by an interesting article,
partly a biography and partly a commendatory criti-
cism of the poet and his poetry, in which it is truth-
fully said that while other poets have looked for fame
rather to the succeeding than to their own generation,
Mackay embodies the idea of the present, and in the
present finds his reward. The author of " Voices
from the Crowd" will always, and deservedly, be a
favourite with the crowd, hence his portrait and his
history are quite in place in the People's Journal.
The twenty-third part of the Land we Live In de-
picts with pen and pencil, in its usually excellent
style, " North Derbyshire and Dove Dale." Charles
Knight's interesting studies of Shakspere are con-
tinued in the fifth number of the National Library,
which promises to be a yet more valuable work than
the recently finished series of shilling volumes.
Apropos of those same shilling volumes, we
find we have passed over with unmerited
neglect three of the latter numbers, which
were devoted to " Paris ; its Historical Build-
ings, and its Revolutions," a work very appropriate in
these times, when Paris is the observed of all ob-
servers. The continuation of the Pictorial History
brings us to the "Perplexities of Ministers in p 34,
an incident by no means peculiar to that individual
year. This number is embellished with a portrait of
her Majesty. The various magazines devoted to
particular classes preserve their usualcharacterist.s characteristics.

ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER LEA.—Two LIVES LOST.
—On Sunday evening an accident occurred on the river
Lea, near Clapton, by which two young men lost their
lives. It appears that six young men, all of whom are
employed at Perry's Gazette-office, in the City, engaged
a small boat at the Jolly Angler's, adjoining the river
1411, for the purpose of fishing. They had not proceeded
far, when by some accident, which is at present unex-
plained, the boat upset, and they were all imnersed into
the water. Two of them succeeded in clinging to e
boat until assistance was rendered, two were drowned,
and the other two swam to the shore. The names of the
unfortunate youths who lost their lives are, Benjamin
Oliver, of Murray-street, Hoxton, and Charles Sander-
son, residing in the neighbourhood of Ball's-pond.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.--YESTERDAY.
The betting touched upon all the great events at Ascot,
and led to several changes. Commencing with the
Queen's Vase, we may note considerable improvement in
Cancaou, against whom the highest offer at the c'ose was
5 to 4; 9 to 1 was taken that she wins it and the Empe-
ror's Plate. Essedarius opened first favourite for the
Ascot Stakes, but subsequently gave precedence to St.
Antonio, who was backed freely at 3 to 1; no others were
in force. There was not much done on the Triennial
Stakes, bur, the two leading favourites were in steady
favour; Nunnykirk, who was not included in our list of
arrivals, goes for this race, and was backed for it at 6
and Btol, to about 1001. Van Tromp at one time had
the call of Chanticleer for the Emperor's Plate, hut re-
ceded to 5 to 2, the gray obtaining the premiership; 5 to
1 was taken that be wins it and The Flying Dutchman
the St. Leger. Cossack was backed for a good deal of
money at 4 to 1, at which the taker wanted to go on.
Nothing quotable was done on the Sr. Leg. r. Some
business was done towards the close on the Derby, Wil•
Liam the Conqueror, The Italian, and. Moulton being
most in request. Closing prices:—
