HINTS TO EMIGRANTS.

Designed and

etched by Percy Cruihshank.
A comical corrective served up in nine plates to
assuage the appetites of those who happen just now
to be hungering and thirsting too inordinately after
the joys of emigration. The third engraving, giving
the settler a very agreeable notion of the difficulties
of " clearing," is an excellent testimony of the
arduous labour devolving upon the emigrant.

LONDON FENCING CLUB.—ASSAULT or ARMS.--
A few days since a grand display of fencing, with foils
and sticky, took place at the rooms of a newly-formed
club, in Piccadilly, under the direction of Mr. Bush-
man. It was well attended by both professionals and
amateurs, and was conducted with great satisfaction to
every one present. Both Mr. Bushman and his clever
son took part in the assaults with foils; and some very
interesting and vigorous play with sticks was exhibited
by Sergeant Towey, of the Royal Artillery, and other
non-commissioned officers of the Life Guards and gen-
tlemen amateurs. Mr: Bushman, sen. in the course
of the display, performed several astonishing feats with
the sword. With a ship's cutlass, made by Wilkinson,
he cut a bar of lead in two with apparent ease by one
sweep of his arm ; and, subsequently, with a strong
formidable weapon, made for Lord Hardinge by Mr.
Wilkinson, he also, with one stroke, cleanly cut through,
bone and all, a very heavy leg of mutton. Mr. Bush-
man also performed Saladin's feat of cutting in two
a silk handkerchief, as mentioned by Sir Walter
Scott, in the " Talisman," several times, with
one of Wilkinson's swords—a feat which is now daily
performed Englishmen withEng.lis alsshso iteweoxrdhsib. Ad

Smihfield Market is about to be brought to a close.
On Monday, on its re-a..sembling in Committee -room
No. 13, Mr. Mackinnon, the chairman, intimated
that after hearing one or two more witnesses in
favour of the continuance of the market, the Com-
mittee would be content to trio as though
given before them the evidence that was adduced
before the House in session 1847, bearing on that part
of the inquiry, and would then make their report. The
last few sittings of the Committee have been principally
occupied with the evidence of some of the principal
butchers, graziers, cud salesmen of the metropolis and
the market, who- are in favour of the continuance of
Smithfield, on account mainly of its central situation,
and its proximity to their premises and slaughterhouses.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
ASCOT HEATH RACES.—WEDNESDAY.
There was nothing sufficiently attractive in the list
yesterday to counteract the influence of the weather,
which, dull and threatening in the morning, was very un-
favourable from two o'clock until the close of the racing.
Tne Stand, nevertheless, was well attended, and the com-
pany altogether quite as numerous as we have seen on
the second day at any previous meeting. The racing
was moderate, and does not call for any observation in
addition to those appended to the returns. The betting
on the Emperor's Plate averaged, when we left the
ground—Even on Chanticleer, 2 to 1 agst Van Tromp
(taken), 4 to 1 agst Cossack, and 6 to 1 cgst Cullingwood.
The Hero does not run. As little as 14 to 1 has been
taken about William the Conqueror for the Derby, and
1000 to 30 about Compass. The racing yesterday came
off as follows:—
The Coronation Stakes of 109 sovs. each, h ft, for three

Betting-5 to 4 each against Queensberry and Teflis.
Conde made slow running until near the last turn, when
he was headed by T*.flis, who went on with a decided
lead, and at an improved pace nearly to the stand; here
Queensberry collared him, and the issue for a moment
was doubtful, Teflis, however, got his head in front a few
strides from home, and won by a neck. Run in 2 min.
54 sec.
The Fernhill Stakes of 15 sovs. each, 5 ft, with 50 added,
for two yrs old, 7st; and three, 9st; fillies and geldings

phus—and 14 to 1 agst any other.
Newcourt took up the running immediately after
starting, followed by Slashing Alice, Dolly Varden,
Crucible, and several others, Collingwood lying off.
They travelled in this order at a good pace to the Stand,
where Collingwood showed with the leading horses, and
he waited with them until within twenty yards of the
chair, and won easily by two lengths, Kissaway beating
Newcourt by half a length. The rain rendered it im-
possible to time this race.

ROYAL ACADEMY CONCERT.—The third concert
for the season of the Royal Academy of Music took
place yesterday at the Hanover-Riau° Rooms. The
programme, as usual, comprised a selection of vocal and
instrumental music calculated to display the proficiency
of the pupils. In the finale to the first act of Il Magic()
Flauto, which was very well given, the tenor voice of Mr.
Swift was hard to great advantage. Among the instru-
mental performances Mr. Chipp's fantasia on the violon-
cello, and Mr. Cusons execution of the introduction and
Rondo in J 3 minor, on the pianoforte (Mendelsohn), de-
serve especial notice.
A cheerful happy temper keeps up a kind of day-
gloomy prospect, and
serenity.--Eliza
