SALE OF BLOOD STOCK IN FRANCE.

The sale of horses in training, brood mares, yearlings,
kc., belonging to M. Aumont, will not take place, as
appointed, on Saturday next, the greater portion of the
stud having been disposed of by private contract..

CESAREWITCH AND CAMBRIDGESHIRE STARES.—
TOITATT WM. GRAY's advice for the above events is
now ready. Lance for the Portland Stakes, at Doncas-
ter, and eleven other winners is something extraordinary,
but the advice on the above races will astonish all, as
1,000 to 1 can be obtained about the double event. I
am positive one, if both, does not come of. Recollect, I
named Mr. Sykes and Crown Pigeon last year (first and
second). Apply early, or the long price will be lost.
Terms : —To the Cambridgeshire, 7s. 6d. ; one week,
ss. ; single race, 2s. 6d. ; to the end of the season, 108.
6d.—Address, 15, Charing•cross.

AQUATICS.

THAMES SUBSCRIPTION CLUB.

This aquatic reunion is rapidly progressing in popular
favour and the number of its members. The monthly
dinners and meetings are held at the Freemasons'Ta-
vern, Lincoln's inn-fields ; and at the last one several
new members wero added to the list. It is no doubt al-
ready fresh in the minds of our aquatic readers that the
club was formed upon the principle of the Royal Thames
Yacht Club, house dinners preceding the meetings, and
was instituted for the purpose either of giving prizes
among its own members, lending a helping band to poor
and deserving watermen, or presenting prizes to other
regattas. Accordingly following out the last of these,
the members gave a coat, badge, and freedom to be
rowed for at the late Royal Thames National Regatta ;
and at the above meeting G. Hammerton, the successful
competitor, who is serving his apprenticeship under Jem
Messenger, the champion of the Thames, at Teddington
submitted his prize to the inspection of the members,
who congratulated him on being the fortunate possessor,
and he was dismissed with several marks of their appro-
val of his plucky conduct, skill, and respectful behaviour
on all occasions.

SEWAGE OF THE METROPOLIS.

A very interesting and able lecture was delivered last
night at the Literary and Scientific Institution, Great
Smith-street, Westminster, by Alexander Wright, Esq.,
member or the Metropolitan Board of Works, and civil
engineer, &c. ; David Wallock, Esq., in the chair. The
lecture was divided into two parts—first, as to the che-
mical properties of manure ; second, the engineering
difficulty to dispose of it. The lecturer spoke of the high
value entertained by many eminent ingividuals in this
country of sewage, and that it would be highly beneficial
to save the same anddisperse it on the land, but put forth
the immense labour and expense in so doing, i❑ conse-
quence of the great feeling we entertain of cleanliness in
flushing our clivets and drains, and the immense quan-
tity of rain water mingling with, and carrying away, the
excremont of the metropolis, thus deodorising and
leaving cumbrous the same for manure ; and spoke of
chemical science producing, for about sa. per ton, an
an admixture of ammonia and phosphates from coal,
applied with chalk, a manure at one-tenth the labour
and expense for the land. The next point, as to the
engineering difficulty, he said, if it was proved we could
do without saving the sewage an immense expense might
be saved. As the eminent Bazalgette shows the an-
cients never intended the streams which now run into
the Thames to convey soil, but the rain water from
the hills about London ; he designs a sewer to be made
at the base of the hills, and convey as far as Woolwich
on each side of the Thames, and the present sewers to
run into a large tunnel], constructed by the river
side, and form a boundary and esplanade
on its banks as far as London-bridge, the same to join
at Wool wich, and be puin2ed up and carried off to sea
by the immense body of water coming through the main
trunk from the hills, leaving then an opportunity for
future ages still to make use of the sewage for the land
if to their advantage. This scheme would coat
4,770,5801. But another question was started as to the
effect it would produce if the rain water was withheld
from its natural bed, the river, and if it would not affect
the tidal influence. The able lecturer closed his discourse
at 9 o'clock, having been favoured with the presence of
several members of the Metropolitan Board and a large
meeting of the ratepayers of the district. After a warm
eulogy upon his ability and a vote of thanks the meet-
ing separated.
