A SHB 0 URNE CUP STEEPLE CHA SE.
The first race for this Cup came off on Wednesday over the
old Shamrock Course. At half-past twelve the following
horses were started by Capt. Stanley, and placed as follow :
Mr. Yourell's Daniel O'Connell, Captain Dyson's Sir Mark,
and Mr. Nolan's Harkaway. The three horses went to work
from the post. At the first leap (a stiff thorn fence) Sir Mark
refused, but by the extraordinary exertions of his rider was
quickly at his work ; Daniel O'Connell went away at a killing
pace ; Harkaway was distanced; the fallow near home was
crossed by Dan at a wicked pace ; he ran in, and won easy.
For the second heat Sir Mark was drawn, and Dan walked
over. Sir Mark was much admired for his splendid style of
jumping. The result, however, proves &at, even with the
weight of 13 stone, Daniel O'Connell could run away from
him, winning at ease.
Ter the second race, a Sweepstakes of 2 sous., with 10 added,
over the same course, five , horses started, viz. :—Mr. logoe's
Tidings, Mr. Martin's Curate, Mr. Madden's Rover, Mr.
Dowdall's mare, and Mr. Gibney's Charley. This was an ex-
cellent race, and secmccl all through to be the Curate's till the
last fence, when, his rierei making a mistake, Rover ran in,
and won the heat.

At a meeting of the members of the Jockey Club, held at

,Boodle's (not being a member of the New Rooms) may be
admitted to the New Rooms and Coffee Room, for any one
Meeting, without any other charge than the payment of one
half-year's subscription to each. In the event of such person
attending any other meeting in the course of the same year he
is to be considered as a member of the New Rooms, and liable
to all the usual charges.
" That the subscription to the New Rooms and Coffee
Room, and all other charges, except the subscription to the
Jockey Club, be paid half-yearly ; the July Meeting to be in-
cluded in either half-year.
" That if any foreigner shall be proposed at any time as a
candidate for the New Rooms and Coffee Room an, immediate
ballot may take place for such election.
" That the charge for weights and scales be reduced to one
half of the present amount for all Plates and Sweepstakes, and
that nothing be paid for Matches."
These regulations to commence with the present year.

SCOTCH STOCK.—The Inverness courier gives
several proofs of the profit arisinc, from exporting into our
markets their sheep and cattle. The steam navigation between
Inverness and London continues to prosper.
Forty houses were last week burnt down at Saulaire,
in the Eure-et-Loire, and nearly all the families who occupied
them are reduced to the greatest distress. 'lt is believed to
have been the work of an incendiary. . _

A subscription is going on to indeninify the Devon-

• Miss Euphcmia Boswell, daughter of the biographer
of Johnson, has very lately been released, through the instru-
mentality .of a friend, who took a lively interest in her behalf,
from a lunatic asylum,_ in the Lower-road, Islington, where
she had been kept in confinement for the last 19 years.
The Gazette Medicale gives the following fact as
a first discovery of the natural cow-pock in France :—" A few
(lays since a woman at Passy had a pustule on one of her fin-
gers, and another on her lip, which, on being examined, pre-
sented all the appearances of the effects of the vaccine inocu-
lation. On being questioned, sla_stated that they came out
after having milked a cow. Three children were inoculated
with the virus taken from these pustules, and it produced upon
them the most decided proofs of their having taken the disease,
though the pustules of the woman were of long standing, and
nearly dried up." We also learn that Dr. Bousquet, secretary
to the Academie de Medicine, has found the vaccine virus on
the udder of a cow, at Chaillot, with which he has inoculated
several children, all of whom have taken the infection in the
most decided and kindly manner.

The receipts of the British Museum last year
were 19,6031. Bs. Old., of which the public money voted by
Parliamept fimounted to 17,7961. ; the payments for the year
were 19,076/. 4s. 64d., leaving a balance of 5271. 3s. 6d. The
estimated expenditure for the present year is 23,600/. ; the
difference between the estimate and the actual expenditure of
last year was little more than 701. There is in the present
estimate a special item of 2,0001. for the purchase of manu-
scripts, and another of 5001. towards making moulds of the
Elgin marbles. The principal item in which there is an in-
crease this year is in salaries to the minor officers and servants,
which is attributed chiefly to an increase in the number of
assistants arid attendants, and to a provision for an incr.eased
number of copyists for the purpose of furnishing the public in
the reading rooms with a complete catalogue of the printed
hooks in the current year. Of the special Parliamentary
grant of 6,0001. to purchase Egyptian antiquities, 5,031/. 16s.
has been expended. The number of visitors to the general
collection last year was 289,104.

Loss OF THE RELIANCE.—We have been fa-
voured with the sight of a letter from a passenger, -hag the
particulars of the wreck of the Reliance, Captain Sunders,
bound from this port to New York, with emigrants, on Rocka-
way Beach, Long Island. It appears that the v'...sse) made
Sandy Hook on the 9th ult., and took a pilot on board, but,
is consequence of a thick fog, the vessel was put about, and
t-tued out to sea ; in the night, however, the weather cleared a
little, and the pilot decided on running for the harbour. The
Chip was at that time in from 15 to 16 fathoms water, rind the
lead was kept going,but about four o'clock a.m. the vessel sud-
denly shoaled in four feet, and .immediately struck, the per-
sons on board expecting every moment to go to the bottom.
At the approach of daylight it was discovered that the vessel
was about a cable's length from the shore, and in consequence
of its blowing bard at the time, and there being a Iwiavy sea,
he cabin dead-lights were soon stove in, and. in about an hour
he ship was completely embedded in the sand, and full of
water up to the decks, so that everything on board was washed
nut. The quarter-boat was then lowered in order to commu-
nicate with the shore, and a man of Pila, named. Job Poole,
steered her in, but when within a very short distance from the
beach she struck on a bar, got upset, and he was unfortunately
drowned. Ultimately assistance w-is rendered from the shore,
•efd the weather having moderated towards the evenitig, the
whole of the passengsrs and crew Were safely landed, 'out with
the loss of all their property, The ship is a total wreck.
