After a long delay, occasioned by the breaking in of
the crowd, they got well off, Cawrouch taking the lead,
followed by Tuscan, Grimston, and Executor, the ruck
laid up. They travelled in this order to the back of the
course, where Cawrouch dropped into the third place,
and Executor went on with the running, seconded by
Tuscan, Sylvan following Cawrouch. There was no
further change until they got to the bottom turn, where
Tuscan and Cawrouch were disposed of, Sylvan being
left in waiting on Executor; Miss Sarah and Glen Saddel
lying in their wake. So they came to the distance, where
Sylvan challenged Executor, and got to his head, but in
the struggle home was defeated cleverly by a length,
Sylvan beating Miss Sarah by a neck;

RAILWAY COMMITTEES.
(YESTERDAY.)
1 HOUSE OF LORDS.
GROUP No. S.—LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH
COAST (Power to Purchase, &c.)—The clause giving
this company power to purchase and run steam-boats
between Brighton and the coast of France was opposed
by a largo number of the railway shareholders, and
the Committee came to a resolution to-day, directing
the steam-boat clause to be struck out of the Bill.
The clauses authorising improvements:in the New Cross
station, and the raising additional capital, were passed,
and the Bill as amended was directed to be reported.
LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN (AaleDdl"Mkt of Acts,
Power to Purchase, and Extensions).—One of the chief
objects, indeed, the chief object, of this Bill, being to en-
able the South-Western Company to adopt the boats and
pay off the capital of the South-Western Steam-packet
Company, Mr. 'rite, the architect, was examined to-day,
after the case had been opened by Mr. Talbot, to prove
that the Packet Company was a losing concern, and unless
the provisions of this Bill were agreed to the boats

The Committee adjourned without deciding upon the
merits of the Bill.

ELECTION COMMITTEE.
DUBLIN.
The scrutiny into the validity of Mr. Reynolds' ma-
jority was resumed yesterday. The Committee having de-
cided that they would allow secondary evidence to be put
in to prove the validity of the grand jury cess, the entire
day was taken up with the testimony of various wit-
nesses to show that the cess was legal, and the Commit-
tee again adjourned without giving any decision upon
the point.
At the rising of the Committee to-day, Mr. ATURPIIY,
Q.C., said he wished to detain the Committee for a few
minutes while he said a few words relating personally to
himself. It would be remembered that when the vali-
dity of the paving-rate was under discussion the Hon.
Member for Manchester, in reply to an observation he had
made, remarked that the Irish Attorney-General some-
times committed blunders in his official capacity, upon
which he (Mr. Murphy) replied that few men committed
less errors in his official capacity than the Lord Chan-
cellor of Ireland. The Irish papers had represented
him to have said that " few men committed more errors
than the Lord Chancellor of Ireland."
The Noble CflainmAN, amidst some laughter, re-
marked that it must evidently be an error of the printer,
and the matter dropped.

Being a total force of 11 ships, mounting 456 guns,
with 3,900 officers, men, and boys.
The Rifleman was ready to go to Spithead last evening.
In addition to the above, the Dragon, 6, steam -frigate,
Captain W. H. Hall, and the Sharpshooter, 4, screw
schooner, Lieutenant Commander Bailey, are also to be
under the orders of Rear-Admiral Sir C. Napier, but
they will be left behind, as the Dragon will not be ready
before the 23d, her machinery requiring so much more
repair than at first estimated by the chief engineer at
Portsmouth Dockyard. She is fully rigged, with top-
gallant-yards crossed, in the basin. The Sharpshooter
has been taken out of dock, is fitting with all dispatch,
but will not be ready in time. She is alongside the yard
fitting. When in dock she received another coat of Mr.
Bay's valuable preservative composition on her bottom.
In point of appearance and appointments, the above
force is capable of meeting anything " near their own
size" on the ocean; they are good and serviceable hull,
with the best of materials in their navigators, and are
as efficient a flotilla or squadron as ever left a British or
foreign port. The Prince Regent, 90 guns on two decks,
formerly a three-decker of 120 guns, is the most magni-
ficent sample of a working man-of-war in the world, but
a fearfully expensive one, by the way, if we are correctly
informed; however, be that as it may, we are not of the
number who grumble at the expense of the ship if she is
worth it, which the Prince Regent now undoubtedly is.
The cruising ground will be the Channel, and as there
are only three ships (St. Vincent, Amphion, and Dragon)
of the present who were members of the last experi.
mental squadron, we expect something new in the shape
of manceuvring.
We have already given the destinations of the ships
after their exercising trials, and we have stated that Sir
Charles Napier and the remainder of his squadron all
bear up for Cork, after a fortnight's cruise.
The;Admiralty party,will return to town this evening,
with the exception of Admiral Dundas and Capt. Milne,
who return to the Admiralty on Monday.
The Collingwood is nearly denuded of all her warlike
character, and %% ill be put out of commission on Tues.
day, by which about 700 men will become available for
other ships. The Kingfisher is undergoing a similar
stripping, and will be put out of commission about the
same time, when upwards of 100 men will become avail-
able for other vessels; the Dragon steam-ship is being
refitted to follow the exercising squadron; the Sharp-
shooter will join this morning, having undergone altera-
tion, &c., and the Racer sloop will have joined from
Plymouth, it is expected.
The repairs and refitment of the Canopus, 84 gun-
ship, are ordered to be commenced and completed with
all possible dispatch; it is premised for another com-
mission.
The Reynard auxiliary screw schooner, Commander
Craycroft, fitting out at Woolwich, is manned nearly, and
will follow the squadron of exercise, to be tried therein.
Captain H. M. Deubam, F.R.S., left town last night
on a government inquiry into recent steam-vessel acci-
dents, according to the Act of the 9th and 10th of her
present Majesty's reign. He proceeds to Liverpool first.
The appeal from condemnation at the Cape of Good
Hope, in 1840, of the Portuguese vessel, Dom Pedro
Duque de Porto, captured by her Majesty's ship Cur-
lew, in that year, has been confirmed by a decision of
the Privy Council at its sitting on the 27th ult.; and the
proceeds will no doubt shortly be paid over to Mr.
Woodhead, the captors' present agent.

IRELAND.
DUZLIN, JULY 13.—The Government are proceeding
vigorously, if not prudently, with the work of pacifica-
tion. Mr. 'l'. D. M`Gee, the subeditor of the Nation,
and Mr. Edward Hollywood, who has some connexion
with the Felon, were arrested yesterday evening, on a
charge of sedition; and, after due investigation at Col-
lege-street, were ound over in heavy recognizances to
appear at the present assizes of Wicklow to take their
trial. Although the bail is returnable to the present
assizes, it is pretty well understood that the trials cannot
take place before the spring.
The Stamp-office authorities have refused to issue the
usual supply of stamps to the Felon newspaper, at least
until they have had a communication with the Govern-
ment upon the subject. A final answer is expected to be
given before to-morrow.
The following handbill has been extensively distri-
buted amongst the clubs, metropolitan and pro-
vincial:—

" JOHN MARTIN.
" TO THE CITIZENS OF DUBLIN.
" Fellow-Citizens,—An infamous outrage has been
this day perpetrated upon a fellow• citizen by the ser-
vants of the English Government.
" Without a colour of law, they broke into his house
—seized and carried off by force his private property.
" In his person the law has been set at defiance, and
the most sacred rights:of the citizen have been insolently
trampled under toot.

`• f3efore their trial, citizens are treated as convicted
felons—their homes violated—their property seized and
confiseated.

" Irishmen !—this must not last. We must not be
tame—we must not be idle, whilst an Austrian despo-
tism is being planted in our country.
" The day of reckoning is at hand !—the hour for
the death grapple with this tyranny approaches !—Till
it comes, no shrinking, no rashness—but
" Prepare ! Prepare ! Prepare !"
Tho Cork papers of yesterday bring accounts of n
grand review of the clubs of that city before the general
commanding, Mr. Smith O'Brien. The subjoined sketch
is abridged from the Constitution :
Tuesday evening was appointed by Mr. W. Smith
O'Brien fur his inspection of the Confederate clubs of
this city, and the place appointed as the review field was
that piece of ground behind the Corn-market and ad-
joining the City-park, known by the name of the " Mo-
nerea marsh." At seven o'clock the clubs began to ar-
rive at the end of the South-terrace, passed by tickets
into the salt and lime works yard ofJ. J. O'Connor, and
were drawn up according to precedence. They moved
up in sections of two deep, each section numbering from
40 to 100, flanked by persons apparently in command,
and whose orders were given by signs. Each section,
as it arrived at a certain point en the road. Pass"
in review in front of its superior officer. The sec-
tions, which continued to march up in quick succession,
had all arrived before eight o'clock. Shortly after
fol
that
hour a band came up, playing a military
lowed by a jingle, iu which were Mr. W. S. bßrien,
and Messrs. Denny Lane, J. Shea Lawlor, and_ E. 4

- The witnesses on behalf of the Crown were Patrick
Rigney, John Hester, Patrick Flynn, Patrick Hunt, and
Doctor Shanly. The witnesses nearly all agreed as to
the conspiracy to shoot Major Mahon, and of a large
sum of money having been collected for the purpose.
The tenants of Major Mahon, it was stated, imagined
that by getting rid of him they would be relieved of the
rents they owed.

Mr. SiELTON addressed the jury on behalf of the
prisoner, and commented on what he termed the lame
case of the Crown, and the sort of witnesses they had
to sustain it.

The witnesses on behalf of the prisoner were Mr.
French, the attorney for the defence, and persons named
Connor and Dockery.
Six o'cLocx.—The Attorney-General is replying on
behalf of the Crown.
The other prisoners to be tried for the conspiracy are
James Commons, who it is asserted was the person who
shot Major Mahon, Michael Gardiner, and Martin
Brennan.

LIMERICK, TUESDAY.—MPRDER.—Five men were
this day charged with the murder of John ➢iacinery, at
Adamstown, on the 3d of October, last year. The pri •
soners refusing to join in the challenges, one of the
party, named Gorman, was put upon his trial, and after
the examination of witnesses was found guilty.
A man, named Patrick Ryan, was also found guilty of
the murder of Honora Ryan, on the 12th November last.

, THE NEW REGENT OF GERMANY.
While John of Austria is the centre of so much poli-
tical interest a brief sketch of his career may be inte-
resting to many, for it belongs more to the past genera-
tion than the present. He is the brother of the late and
uncle of the reigning Emperor; he was born in 1782,
and has therefore reached his 66th year. He was
educated and thrown into active life during the stormy
times of the first French revolution; as early as 1800 he
was placed in command of an Austrian army; but he was
not tortuuate• the battle of Hohenlinden tried him ix
the fire of misfortune, and the utmost he could effect
was by his personal courage and example to keen the
spirit of the Austrian forces from being quite
crushed by the defeats they sustained from the
French armies, led by the ablest of its generals.
After the peace of Luneville he was appointed
Director of the corps of Engineers and of the Military
Academy of Vienna. Notwithstanding his youth, he
was the object of many bright expectations in that
gloomy period; he became excessively popular, espe-
cially in the llustriuu provinces. He originated the
measure of arming a landwehr, or militia, and served
through the campaign of 1805. The next few years
were the most disastrous in the annals of Austria, ex-
cept, perhaps, the present one. In 1811 he founded the
Johanneum in Gratz. He was always strongly attached
to the study of natural history, and when released
from military duties he lived the life of a moun-
taineer, preferring the Styrian hills as a residence to
the capital. He knew the whole of this district
thoroughly, and was oa the best terms with its in-
habitants, to whom he was known as a bold and
successful explorer of the most inaccessible points.
Ile served again in the campaigns of 1813 and 1815.
With the peace began the long Ministry of Metternich,
and the policy of opposition to all progress, which he
maintained for more than thirty years, the Archduke
always condemned the system of the all-powerful Chan-
cellor, and never concealed his dislike of it; the conse-
quence was, that not being able to oppose it by positive
action, he withdrew himself from political lite alto-
gether, and almost separated himself from his family by
marrying the daughter of the postmaster of Au:see; he
was exiled from Vienna, and all but socially pros-
cribed ; the gulf between him, the Court, and the old
nobility, however, was never closed. He lived in his re-
tirement of Gratz, farming, botaniaing, and hunting,
but Lever for a day released from the espionage that
Metternich kept upon his movements. His popu-
larity was always feared as much as his opinions. After
a long absence he revisited the Tyrol in 1835, and was
received with such enthusiasm that the Vienna journals
were not permitted to publish the accounts of his recep-
tion. In 1842, at a public dinner, ho is said to havegiven as a toast "No Austria, no Prussia, but a united
Germany." This incident has secured him much of
the
of his
present popularity. The statement ran through
all
journals, but there are considerable doubts
au-
thenticity of the anecdote. In person the Archduke is '
of the middle height, thin and bald ; his countenance
expresses great benevolence and good humour. U.'boug'e
of so advanced an age, he has preserved much of the
enthusiasm of youth. When the revolution occurred at
Vienna he entered at once into public
principally by his influence that liSe, and it was
Me.ttcznich_was com-
pelled to resign. The events since „ne revolution are
too well known to require repetition; he is now Regent
of Austria and Chief of the Gera,an Empire, and Met-
ternich is an exile !

TIIE STATE ArARTMENTS AT WINDSOR CASTLE.
—A letter was received
,or) Thursday last, by the Mayor
of Windsor, from Earl Spencer, the Lord Chamberlain,
in answer to a memorial., signed by about 260 of the in-
habitants of New Windsor, praying for a relaxation of
the regulations un Jer which the public are admitted to
view the state ap.artments at the Castle. His Lordship
' very reasonably represents that an unlimited influx of
th tees into the Castle would be quite incompatible
wipersonal comfort of the Sovereign, but states
that her Majesty, with her characteristic consideration
and anxiety for the recreation of her subjects, has given
directions that the apartments shall be thrown open to
persons presQnting• tickets on Mondays, in addition to
the days ( Ja which the public have hitherto been admitted,
and to (F:rect that persons obtaining tickets from Mr.
Roberts, if Windsor, shall, in future, be admitted to the
state apt irtments without any intermediate delay.

LEAROVE V. CLARE TEE YOUNGER.
Mr. Sergeant Kinglake and Mr. Massey appeared for
the plaintiff, and Mr. Crowder and Mr. Poulder con-
ducted the case for the plaintiff.
The action was for the seduction of the plaintiff's
daughter, a pretty, interesting looking girl, of about 19
years of age.
It appeared from the evidence that the plaintiff was
a small farmer, living in a little village near Basingstoke,
and the defendant was a grocer in Basingstoke. The
plaintiff and his wife were in the habit of sending their
daughter to the defendant's shop for various articles
which they were in the habit of purchasing there. By
this means an intimacy sprung up between the defendant
and the plaintiff's daughter, and in the sequel the de-
fendant used to take the opportunity of frequently
visiting the daughter at her father's house when both
the parents were away, as they necessarily were a great
deal, attending to the management of their farm. At
length the daughter found herself in the family way;
and after a time she mustered courage to tell the de-
fendant's aunt. This led to some negotiation between
the parties, but with no satisfactory result; and a child
having been born in due course, this action was ulti-
mately brought.
Mr. Crowder, in his cross-examination of the daugh-
ter, attempted to impeach her character for chastity ;
but he only succeeded in showing that she had on one
or two occasions gone to a public-house in Basingstoke
with a young man whom she knew ; and she had once
dressed herself up in the clothes of the son of the de-
fendant's aunt, and gone into the village thus attired for
a little innocent fun. The jury thinking that this
evidence furnished no answer to the action, gave a
verdict for the plaintiff, damages 501.

with the

kept pretty well amused during the early part of the
afternoon. In the evening the usual attractions of the
gardens, including the horsemanship, the wonderful feats
of the inimitable Juba, added to a double display of fire-
works, were displayed. There was also a ball, which
afforded gratification to many hundreds. Though the
weather was unpropitious towards nightfall, owing to
the thunderstorm, the gardens were pretty well attended
to the end of the proceedings.
