FIRE AT CHISWICK NEW CHURCH. —On Sunday
evening the new Anglo-Norman church of the parish of Chiswick,
erected about three years since, on the centre of the common at
Turnham-green, had a most narrow escape of total destruction by
fire. It appears that after the conclusion of divine service Mr Bar-
rett, the sexton, locked the church up, and went home, leaving all
apparently safe, but he had scarcely got in doors before Mr. Foster,
. the assistant-overseer, came to inform him that he had perceived fire
• bursting through the slates of the roof. Mr. Barret hurried back,
• and on entering the edifice found the roof, which is at: open one, on
I fire, immediately over one of the chandeliers suspended in the wicid;e
• aisle. An alarm was instantly raised, and a messenger dispatched
to Chiswick, which is nearly a mile distant, for the parish engine,
which is kept at the eld church. In a few minutes the Rev. Me
• Jenkyns, the minister, Sergeant Scotney, T 21, and a number )'. t
inhabitants of the neighbourhood, were on the spot, and lallerS
having been procured, a supply of water was obtained from the
ponds on the Green, and being poured on the flames they were by
i, great exertions subdued, and all further danger allayed. ' From an
examination it has been ascertained that the fire was occasioned by
. the
overheating of the tube which conveys the smoke from the than-

CHASE.
(Steward, Count de Vaublanc.)
This great sporting event, concerning which so much in.
terest has been excited for some time past both in England
and France, came off yesterday, in the most brilliant manner.
With the single drawback, "that the sun disdained to shine,"
everything pawed over in the most admirable style. The
concourse of spectators was such as we never before wit-
nessed at any race in France, and tlp long line of carriages
seemed of never-ending duration. The country round the
Croix-de-Berny, where the race took
place, is exceedingly
picturesque; hill, wood, and dale, of the most varied cha-
racter, interspersed with fine villas,. beautiful gardens, and
groups of cottages, start into view in every direction.
The villages of Sceaux, Fontenay-aux-Roses,
Soc., are in the
neighbourhood, and on this occasion they poured out their
inhabitants with extraordinary profusion. Every road was
dark with the living masses moving to the centre of attrac-
tion. The arrangements at the scene of action were excel-
lently conceived; stands of various degrees were erected fir
the spectators, and ample place was assigned for carriages
and horsemen. The ground where the race took place is a flat,
through which the Bievre runs. It is mostly grass land, and
is cut at the far end in two places by roads which the horses
had to cross. The starting point was a small meadow, right
in front of the little stream just mentioned. The winning-
post was placed precisely opposite the starting-point,
so that when the horses cleared the river, they turned
suddenly to the left, sailed along up the country, for about
two miles, and then, making a circuit, came back on the
ground they had before traversed, and raced home past the
spot they had started from, and leaving the point where
they cleared the stream on their right. If any one, in fact,
were to unrivet a pair of scissors, and taking one of the
branches should bead the point to a right angle, the end thus
turned being the starting-point, he would have before him a
tolerable for .0 of the course. When the horses turn suddenly
to -the rig after crossing the stream, they have to cross
several hedges, ditches, another piece of water, and two park
walls—in all, nineteen obstacles. Without any being of
extraordinary difficulty, there was plenty of work to try U
man's nerve, and force a horse to show what was in him.
In consequence of the rain, the ground was exceedingly
heavy, and some of the horses were greatly distressed at the
finish. The bell rang for weighing a little before two, but
in consequence of the number of horses, it was near three
before the preliminaries had concluded. About a quarter of
an hour was occupied with the preparatory gallops in front
of the stand, and the greatest anxiety was manifested to
view Pioneer, Culverthorpe, and The Roarer. The riders also
came in for their share of wonderment—Captain Peel,
Mason, BPDonough, and Oliver being particularly inquired
after. At this moment the crowd of sportsmen looking
anxiously on not only comprised all the gentlemen of the
Paris Jockey Club, but a great number from England.
Amongst the latter we perceived Lord Exmouth, Lord Can-
terbury, Lerd Cantalupe, Sir Massey Stanley, Mr. Ricardo,
&c. The Duke de Nemours was also present. The rain had
by this time ceased, and every preparation being completed,
the horses proceeded round by the bridge to take their place
for the start, Pioneer having declared to carry 41b. extra.
Handicap for 10,300 f., added to a sweepstakes of 500 f.,
half forfeit ; and 125 f. only if declared to the Secretary of
the Paris Jockey Club, before 11 o'clock at night on March
20. The second horse to receive 1450 f. from the entries,
and the third to receive back his stake. Distance 6,400
metres (about four English miles). 42 subs.

When the word was given to go, they all dashed together
at the brook, which The Roarer went over first, Pioneer
second, and Culverthorpe third. All the rest cleared it well
also, except Cattonian, whose jockey fell. They all went
over the second leap, a made fence, with equal success, ex-
cept Cattonian, who refused, and whose chance was lost.
Little Tommy then went in front, and made strong running,
followtd by Lancet. Discord refused the third leap, and
appeared no more in the race. No change of consequence
took place till they came to the road, where a sort of jumble
took place, all sliding gently down. Culverthorpe here
was obliged to hang back, Crcesus, who up to this point had
gone a forward horse, but who now appeared distressed, be-
ing right in his way. At last the Roarer, Lancet, Culver-
thorpe, Crcesus, Little Tommy, and Scavenger, got clear, the
other horses, being a little behind. Scavenger refused at the
last fence, near the turning flag, and lost ground, but being
a speedy horse soon came up again to the others. After
getting into the run home, Little Tommy, the Roarer, and
Culverthorpe were the only horses that had a chance, and
as they neared the winning-post, the Roarer fell behind,
and the two others came along neck and neck. They
cleared the last fence nearly at the same moment, Culver-
thorpe being, perhaps, a second in advance, and then set to
for the finish. Little Tommy was, however, outpaced, and
-Culverthorpe won by. about a length and a half.' Loud
cheering greeted Captain Peel as he walked the winner back
to the weighing stand; and it must be acknowledged that
he merited the applause, as he rode admirably throughout:
The second horse too was capitally jockeyed, and when it is
borne in mind that Mr. Vevers is a man of sixty-five years
of age, it must be allowed that his nerve and determination
are something altogether out of the common run. It was an
exceedingly quick race, the time beirg two or three seconds
over eleven minutes. We have given the first five or six
horses as we saw them come in, the rest arriving at intervals
afterwards. The value of the stakes is a trifle over 20,000 E
After the excitement occasioned by this crack affair had a
little su')sided, the bell rang for saddling for the second race,
with gentlemen riders. It was a very different affair from
the other, though not without interest also
Purse of 1,200 f. added to 250 f. entries, half forfeit. The
winner to be claimed for 5;000f, weight, 1501 b. ; horses
valued by the owners at 1,500 f to carry 1251 b. ; at 2,500 E,
1331 b. ; and 4,000 f. 1541 b. Distance about 4,000 metres (2%
miles). Gentlemen riders.

M. :de Bonexic's b h Chandos, 1501 b (Owner) 2
Captain Best's b h Revealer, 1251 b (Owner) 0
This race is easily described. The distance was shorter
than in the preceding event, but excepting that the horses
did not go so far from home, the ground was the same. They
again started in the meadow in front of the judge's stand,
and Chandos in front, the Witch well up, and the old horse
Repealer (18 years, we understand) behind. Chandos bungled
at the third or fourth leap, and lamed himself. The Witch
then went on, and Repealer not being able to compete with
her in speed was obliged to give in. The Witch went quietly
over the ground, and won as she pleased.
The arrangements during the day reflect the greatest credit
on Count de Vaublanc, the steward. Everything was in
perfect order, and from beginning to end he discharged his
arduous duties in, a most able manner. The sporting men
were loud in their praise of his conduct, and a subscription
dinner is, we understand, shortly to be given to him as a
mark of respect. The return home of the vast crowd to Paris
reminded us of an Epsom or Ascot day, and we have not
heard of any accident having occurred to mar the pleasure of
the day's proceedings.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES' RAIL-
WAY.—On Tuesday Mr. W. Payne held an inquest at Guy's Hospital
on the body of George Henry Gray, aged twenty-nine years, an en-
gineer. The deceased was employed on the line of the Northern and
Eastern Counties Railway. On the afternoon of Wednesday last,
about half-past twelve o'clock, he was proceeding en one of the
trams towards Cambridge at a very steady pace, and when they
reached the Broxbourne station the deceased endeavoured to reach
ever the handrail for the purpose of counting the number of carriages
attached to the engine, when he missed his footing and fell on to the
rails of the up line. The engineer instantly stopped the train, and
when the deceased was lifted up, he was bleeding from the eyes,
nose, and ears, and was quite insensible. He was carried to the sur-
gery of Mr. Mess, and was subsequently removed to the above hos-
pital, where he died en Sunday morning last. Mr. George Brown,
the house surgeon, attributed death to concussion of the brain and
fracture of the skull. Verdict, "Accidental death."
. DARING HOTEL ROBBERY,—On Tuesday information
was circulated throughout the police divisions of the following daring
robbery having been committed at the Adelaide Hotel, London-
bridge :—lt appears that a man, of respectable appearance, about
thirty years of age, about five feet seven inches high, had been stay-
ing four nights at the hotel, and left about half-past eight o'clock
yesterday morning. After his departure it was discovered that two
of the bed-rooms in the hotel had been entered and robbed ; one in
the occupation of M. Baumgarten, of a gold watch; the other In
the occupation of M. Dahmens, from which also a gold watch had
been stolen.
Mr. Waghorn's project for connecting Singapore with
Australia by means of steam communication has created great in-
terest. A complete chain of intercourse, if the plan were brought to
bear, would be formed between the five portions of the globe, a re-
gular communication with America on the one side, and India on the
other, being opened in Australia. A very slight extension would
bring into the sphere of action the large East India Islands, which
