THE CHESTER CUP.

is the top offer sgst Bloomsbury, and 100 to 10 agst any
other ; 100 to 7 agst Retriever ; the Field agst S, take
10. Gallipot has been backed at 15, and there appears a

HoLKIIAM HALL.—The Countess of Leicester
has nearly recovered from her serious illness, arising from
the accident her Ladyship met with some weeks back.
The amiable Countess has of late been able to take airings
when the weather permitted, and, we understand, will
leave next week for Brighton, accompanied by the Noble
Earl, where they purpose passing a short time before going
to Longford Hall, the family seat, in Derbyshire. Lord
Cuke has completely recovered from the effects of a sprain
he recived when skaiting. Lord Crewe, Right Hon Sir
Edward Ellice, M. P., Sir George Anson, Capt. Ellice,
M. P., and Mrs. Ellice, Miss Anson, Earl and Countess of
Rosebery and the Ladies PrimroSO who have been visiting
the Earl and Countess, have sint‘e Monday taken their
deparitre.
The Board of Guardians of the Wakefield
Union have confirmed, by a vote of 11 to 5, a resolution
adopted OR the 30th September last, " that no relief, ex-
cept relief in the workheuse, be given by this Board to any
woman who has had more than one bastard child, nor any
woman being more than 21 years of age at the time of the
birth of any bastard child of which she may be the mother."
THE GREAT FIGHT FOR 1,000/.-011 Tues-
day the fight between Hannan, of the London ring, and
Broome, of Birmingham, for 600/. aside, was decided at
Bicester, after a most determined struggle, in favour of
the latter, to the great surprise and discomfiture of the
metropolitan " Corinthians," who had backed Hannan to
an immense amount, from his being considered one of the
most scientific sparrers of the day. The contest consisted
of nearly fifty rounds, which were fought in about an hour
and twenty minutes, and throughout the fight both men
exhibited the most determined courage. They are light
weights, and there was not more than four or five pounds
difference in their weight. They were in prime condition.
At the time they entered the ring Hannan wra decidedly
the favourite, five to four being freely laid by his backers
arid supporters on his winning, and there were plenty of
takers among the Birmingham fancy.
LIABILITY or CAB-OWNERS. Mr. Gre-
gorie, of Queen-aquare, holds that the proprietor may be
legally mulcted for the misconduct of his driver, in the
event of their absence, and legal proof of such misconduct
being adduced. Mr. Board, a cab-owner, is at issue with
his Worship on the law of the case; and, as a distress war-
rant on Thursday was directed against Mr. B.'s chattels, to
satisfy a fine inflicted previously, the question is likely to
come before a superior court.
The Leipsic Gazette asserts that the Duchess
d'Angoulemc is seriously indisposed, notwithstanding the
contradictions given to this statement, and that the malady
of her Royal Highness is of a dropical na'ure.
It is understood to be finally arranged by the
Post-office authorities, that the transit of the London and
northern and western mails to Worcester, by the Birming-
ham and Gloucester Railway, shall commence on the sth
of the ensuing month.

The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland
leave Alnwick Castle next week for Northumberland
House. The reason of the Noble Duke and Duchess
leaving Northumberland so early this season is, that her
Grace is desirous of being present at the christening of
the Princess Royal.
