SALE OF HER MAJESTY'S AND THE MAM-
HEAD YEARLINGS.

The annual sale of the Royal yearlings took place at the
paddocks at Hampton on Saturday, in the presence of a.
goodly number of turf supporters, including the Marquis
of Anglesey, Lord Ailesbury, Sir Lydston Newman, Gen.
Peel, Prince Soltykoff, and Lord Falmouth. Twenty-
four lots were offered, and the sum realised was £4,625 gs,
an average of 193 gs each. Last year twenty-seven
youngsters were disposed of for 4,270 gs, and Saturday's
sale therefore showed an improvement. Nothing reached
four figures, but the colt by Trumpeter, out of Ayacanora,
fetched 950 ge, and three others went for over 500 gs,
nearly a hundred more than any yearling fetched a twelve..
month ago. The Marquis of Anglesey was the largest
purchaser, four of the Royal lot going to him, while he
paid the top price for the best of Sir Lydston Newman's,
which were afterwards sold on the green. The Marn.head
youngsters sold numbered but nine, and these averaged
207 gs—a colt %lad filly by Crater, strange to say, realising
more than two colts and a filly by King Tom, these being
the only representatives of the sire of the last Derby
winner that will be offered by auction this year, the
others being the property of private breeders.

A Cabinet Council will be held to-morrow (Tues-
day) in Downing-street, at one o'clock.

WANDERING ENGLlSlMEN.—Englishmen abroad
seem to have exceptionally bad luck at present. The
excitement about the victims of like Greek brigands has
not had time to subside before we have news of another
capture being made at the other end of the Mediterranean
by certain Spanish robbers, who appear to have had an
equally clear appreciation of the kind of travellers most
likely to command a ransom. The authorities at Madrid
have promptly issued orders to effect the release of the
four unfortunate Britons. In the interests of humanity
ft is to be hoped that the duty will be performed with more
tact than was displayed in the Grecian affair.—New York

cADVERTISEMENT. 1-HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.
NFLUENZA. BRONCHITIS.—At the beginning of spring
chest complaints are continually produced by the east
wind and variable temperature. In all such cases early
attention and effective treatment are demanded to prevent
them degenerating into more serious and often fatal
maladies. The invalid may rest assured that Holloway's
Pills, without worrying the weakest constitution, will re-
move all formidable symptoms. The Ointment should
be rubbed on the chest, back, and sides every night and
morning for at least ten minutes, and the parts then en-
cased in flannel. This course of treatment will lessen
fever, rectify incipient congestion, relieve the oppressed
lungs, and remove restlessness, hoarseness, and cough,
Thorough restoration will reward diligence and attentiont
in following this advice,
