THE JOCKEY CLUB.

We have r, ceived, !says Galignani, the following letter,
to which wo willingly give a place, though, when we
quoted the strantte story al:uded to, we expressed our
disbelief of it. The affair had, however, as will have
been seen by the remarks we quoted from the Examiner,
attracted so much attention in England that it became
necessary for the Ale:senger, as the impartial reflector of
the English press, to reproduce the article. It is so far
satisfactory, as the renewed positive contradiction it has
now elicited will doubtless be copied by the papers
which have given circulation to the fabricated tale:—
" After the letter addressed by me to the editor of the
Patrie,on the 30th ult., to contradict in the most formal
manner the recital of a pretended combat, which, accord-
ing to that journal, had taken place in the salons of the
Paris Jockey Club, between owls end rats, it might have
been hoped that there would have been an end to the
mystification; but, as it has just been re-published by
you from an English journal, I bed you to insert the
present letter in your earliest number, in order to give
a complete contradiction both to the fact of the combat
and all the details which accompany the recital of it.
Your article of to-day, and the letter w'nieh follows it,
sicre,ed An Old Duck Shooter,' cannot in any way take
the place of an official contradiction, and it is to put an
end to this ridiculous joke that I request the publication
of my letter in your journal.
I remain, Btc..,

" Secretary of the Jockey Club.

THE LATEGOLD DUST ROBBERY.
An inquest was held on Saturday in the governor's

late gold dust robbery on the South-Western Railway.

rendered on Saturday, the Ist inst., at the sessions of the
