dT ARLBRO'-STREE r-( THIS DAY).
THE SCHOOLMASTER ABROAD.—John Lamb, a lad
about 10 years of ago, whose head scarcely reached the
top of the dock, was charged betore Mr. Bi❑gham with
throwing stones in Hyde-park, and damaging Mrs. Sid-
ney Smith's carriage.
The constable who had the charge stated that it was
not Mrs. Sidney Smith's intention to appear to press the
charge, and handed to the magistrate the following note
trom the boy's moLher:—

•' Molber-street Police Corte.

" J. Lamb i went to Lady sedney smith and she sade
she did not want the Katie to go anney forether as he
was so yong and he did not do it on porperes."
The reading of this note caused great laughter in court.
The boy was then directed to be handed over to the care
of his mother.
THE EFFECTS Or TLIE BOTTLE.—Amelia Van Hash,
the widow of the late cel-brated artist of that name,
was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with being
drunk and annoying several gentlemen in Coventry-
street. _ _ _

Constable 117 C said, on the previous night, be was
on duty in Coventry-street, where he saw the prisoner,
who was the worse for liquor, go up to several gentlemen
and lay hold of their arms. As the gentlemen seemed
much annoyed at the prisoner's conduct, witness went
up to her and requested her to desist, and go home
quietly. Instead of taking his advice she abused him
with such disgusting language that he was obliged to
take her to the station. At the latter place her lan-
guage was equally bad and obscene.
The prisoner denied the charge in Coto, and said she
was a respectable woman, and not accustomed to get
tipsy.
Mr. BINGHAM was incredulous as to the latter fact,
and fined her 10s., or in default to be committed for 7
days.
tlr. Samuel Sharman, undertaker, Mount-street,
Grosvernor-square, was charged with being drunk and
disorderly.
The charge having been proved by 111 C, the fino of
ss. was inflicted.
Francis 111' Hugh, gentleman, was charged with the
same offence, and was liberated on paying the usual
drunkard's fine of ss.

THE LEAMINGTON STAKES, &73.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The field for the Leamington Stakes, it is ex-
pected,will consist of the following viz.,:—Windischgratz,
Fogleman, Herbert, The Cocktail, Windhound, one of
Lord Exeter's, Grief, Goldfinder, The Castle (d), Sprite
filly, Miss Julia, Avis, Leap-year, and perhaps Tight-
waist. One or two others, such as Clothworker, Valen-
tine, or Sauter-la-Coupe, may also start, but it is very
dubious. My opinion of the decision remains unaltered
FUGLEMAN or HERBERT to win, with Grief, Goldfiuder,
and the Cocktail in attendance, in the order I
have placed them. The following horses have
arrived at Warwick, or will be there in the
course of the day, besides many others for the
plates, &c., • • viz •—Leap-year, Grief, Avis, Witidisch-
gratz, Herbert, Doubt, Goldfinder, Jerry, Truth, Fugle-
man, The Cocktail, Windhound, two of Lord Exeter's,

Ibis, Remunerator (d), Harp, colt by Touchstone, The
Heriot, Agis, Longinus, Post-teaspore, Unity, Lady
Geraldine colt, Dulcet, Grey Tommy, Deceitful, Pep-
permint, Tightnaist, &c., &e. The betting market this
morning, considering it is the first day of the atumral
campaign, or shooting season, is remarkably brisk. The
following are the itvest quotations:—Foal Stakes (War-
wick)-2 to lon Leap-year. Castle Park Stakes-2 to

THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

PROVENDER.—IMPORTANT TO BUTTER SHOPS.—
The fifteenth number of The herald of Peace has just been
published.
REPRESENTATION OF EAST YORKSHIRE.—A meet-
ing of the Conservative gentry of the East Riding was held
at Beverley on Wednesday last to take measures for supply-
ing the vacancy occasioned by the recent death of Mr.
Henry Broadley. Mr. Yarburgh GrUme, Mr. Phillip
Saltmarshe, jun., of Saltmarshe, near Howden, and several
other gentlemen successively declined the proffered honour
of becoming a candidate. A requisition was then unani-
mously signed, calling upon Mr. Edward Christopher Eger-
ton, son of Mr. Wilbraham Egerton, of Tatton-park,
Cheshire, to offer himself at the ensuing election. Mr. Eger-
ton is the nephew of Sir Tatton Sykes, of Hedmere, who
presided at the meeting, and it is believed that he will com-
ply with the requisition sent to him.
THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY., AUG.
30,—The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com-
pany's ship Tagus, Captain J. Russell, sailed yesterday
(Friday) for Gibraltar, Malta, and Constantinople, with a
full cargo and several passengers, among whom was the
Archdeacon of Gibraltar. The return of passengers who
have landed at Southampton during the month of August
again exhibits a considerable increase when compared with
the corresponding period of 1850. The total number of tra-
vellers from all parts of the world who have landed in the
Southampton Decks in the month ending this day is 7,452,
bringing 12,011 packages of baggage, against 2,185 passen-
gers with 5,846 packages of baggage in August, 1850, show-
ing an increase of 5,2;7 persons and 6,165 packages of bag-
gage. The number of foreigners included in this month's
return is not so large as might have been anticipated, being
only 2,517, of which 1,893 were males and 608 females, with 16
children. The returns areprincipally swelled by the great aug-
mentation in the number of passengers from Paris and Havre,
in consequence of thecheap through fares adopted by the Lon-
don and South-Western Railway Company. The total num-
ber from Havre has been 3,629, against 5-85 last year. The
South-Western steamers from France being always crowded,
sometimes inconveniently and almost dangerously so, on
several occasions as many as '250 to 300 persons having been
conveyed across the Channel, while the size of the steamers
employed afforded little more than standing r,om for so large
a number of passengers during a Channel trip of from nine to
ten hours duration. The Postmaster-General has ordered a
daily mail bag to be made up at the General Post-office for
Havre, to be forwarded via Southampton. Letters therefore
mailed in London by 5.30 P.M., and addressed by way of
Southampton, will be delivered in Havre the next morning,
thus affording a great convenience to the mercantile interest.
The schooner yacht America has sailed from Cowes for the
Thames.

THE RECENT FIRE NEAR LONDON-BRIDGE.--The
restoration of the warehouses belonging to Mr. Alderman
Humphery, at the Southwark end of London-bridge, which
were destroyed by the great tire about two months ago, is
rapidly progressing; Messrs. Cubitt and Co., the eminent
builders, having undertaken to complete the work in a
period of three months, the premises being required for
the warehousing of hops by the close of the hop season.
Every precaution has been taken in the construction of the
building to prevent the recurrence of such a conflagration,
and the two lower floors are divided from three upper by
brick arches with iron girders.
HAYMARKET THEATRE.—Mr. Webster re-appearei
on Saturday, after a long absence, occasioned by a serious
indisposition. Turtiffe and the Serious Family were re-
vived 01 the occasion.

LON DON,

LITERATURE.

SIR JOHN FRAAKLIN EV THE ARCTIC

RE GIaNS. by P. L. Simmonds.
Mr. Simmonds here gives ua an account of the va-
rious expeditions to the Arctic Regions, "showing the
progress of British enterprise for the discovery of the
North-West passage during the 1911 century." All
the voyages of the courageous discoverers are re-
counted, together with those 3ubsequently undertaken,
for th,? assh,tanee of Sir John Franklin. There is a
spirited poem at the commencement, originally ad-
dressed to Dr. Leichardt, which the author has
slightly altered, to suit the enterprising traveller,
who, in the words of the song—
" Scorning hope of selfish gain, disdaining soft repose,
Went forth to trace a pathway through unyielding ice
and snows."

CHEMISTRY OF THE CRYSTAL PALACE.
By Thomas Griffiths.
This is a scientific work, chiefly on metals. It is a
popular account of the chemical properties of the chief
materials employed in the construction of the Crystal
Palace. It is written by the late Professor of
Chemistry, in St. Bartholomew's Hospital ; and ai
everything connected with the Great Exhibition is now
looked upon with interest, we doubt not that this
volume will be a favourite with many.

THE ANCIENT B1?1T UNS; a Tale of

THE VILLA G

ASTIiONOMER.

Matilda Wrench.

" The Ancient Britons" is a work which is calcu-
lated to give much information respecting those far-
off times of which it treats. As the author justly
observes in the preface, " the state of society among
the ancient Britons is involved in much obscurity,
and chiefly, it may be presumed, because no imagina-
tive writer has attempted its elucidation." The pre-
sent volume is well calculated to dispel the obscurity
and to make us see the ancient Britons in all their
various occupations and actions, as they were. " The
Village Astronomer" is one of those simple country
tales translated from the German which are always
attractive. This volume is no exception to the rule,
and is a pleasing story with a joyful conclusion.

THE FINCHLEY MANUALS OF INDUSTRY.

COOKING.

Prepared for the use of the national and industrial
schools at Finchley. This highly instructive work
is entitled " Practical and Economical Training for
those who are to be Servants, Wives, and Mothers."
As such it must be exceedingly useful to all national
schools and other institutions which are desirous of
giving practical instruction to the class for whose.beneiit
it is designed.

A DEFENCE OF IGIVORANCE. By the
Author of " How to Make Home Unhealthy."
Our author has adopted u,new plan, which is, instead
of gravely pointing out the laults and follies of the pre-
sent day, to ridicule themin such a manner as to give
a much greater idea of their absurdity. The present
work is upon the much• talked-of subject of ignorance,
and we trust will have its intended effect.

HISTORY OF THE FRENCH REVOLU-
TIONS. By T. W. Redhead.

On this comprehensive and alwaystnteresting subject
a new volume is sure to be welcome. It is a number
of Chambers's instructive and entertaining Library,
a series of books for the people, and truly the people
have cause to feel grateful to those spirited and inde-
fatigable publishers, who have provided them with so
much information and entertainment at such a mode-
rate price.

LAYS AND LEGENDS; or, Ballads of the
New Word. By G. i hornbury.
A pleasing collection of poems, many of them
on historical subjects. Among these may be men-
tioned " Columbus in Chains," " The Battle of To-
basco," and " The Procession of the Dead." There is
also a spirited poem on Curtius, concluding—
" 'rwas men like these who founded Rome,
Who kings from their proud thrones hurled,
'Twas such as these ik3t. Cteiar led
To conquer half the world."

ANNALS OF ULSTER; or, Ireland Fifty
Years Ago. Compiled by Mr. J. M'Scrimin.
This is a collection of information respecting Irish
societies, and the various events, some of them of a
tragic nature, that have occurred since 1800. It forms
an interesting volume for those who desire to trace the
political history of that country.

HEALTH AND WEALTH. By Joseph Bentley
An instructive work entitled "Health and Wealth,"
—how to get, preserve, and enjoy them ; or Physical
and Industrial Training for the People." With such
objects in view it cannot fail to prove useful.

WOMAN IN THE NINETEENTH CEN-
TURY. By S. Margar et Fuller.

This is the work of-a
well-known authoress, and is
written in a superior style. The authoress has evi-
dently taken great interest in her subject, and her
views are not of that extreme kind so often to be
found in works of this class.

HUGhES'S OUTLINES OF PHYSICAL
GEOGRAPHY.
On varied subjects connected with geography, this
instructive work conveys much useful information.
It is chiefly adapted to those somewhat advanced in
science. It is illustrated with eight coloured maps.
