caused se deep a sensation in tal oircles that we embrace
the earliest opportunity of mating the public acquainted
with the facts which rendered that step necessary. On
Saturday last Buccaneer went t rattling mile and a half
gallop, upon the strength of which ho was backed on the
Monday following for a large amxmt by Lord Portsmouth's
friends and the public, the latter being kept well "posted"
concerning the horse's movements by the " touts" which
now infest his retired training quarters on Lichfield Down;
though, as will be seen hereafter, reliance is not at all times
to be placed on the bulletins of these worthies. On Sunday
and Monday Buccaneer did his work as usual, but on the
last named day broke.out in blotches all over, which irri-
tated his back to such an extent that ho could scarcely bear
the saddle on ; consequently, on Monday he merely walked,
and the humour extending itself, accompanied by fever,
it was considered hopeless to proceed with his preparation
for the Two Thousand; and onLord Portsmouth's arrival
from Newmarket, ho instantly vrote to Admiral Rous to
strike him out of that race. Or Thursday the horse had a
dose of physic. Having walked only on Tuesday, the
"touts," of course, took it fcr granted that there was
"something up;" and in the afternoon of that day a tele-
gram was received at Newmarket conveying the startling
information that Buccaneer had been very riotous at exer-
cise, and after throwing his boy had run away for two or
three miles, jumped three or four hedges in his progress,
and broken down I This canard, as may b:t sup-
posed, was considerably magnified in its circulation,
and one very sagacious individual volunteered his reason
for crediting the truth of the report, that he knew, for a
fact, that the horse had carried a man in his mouth at least
three yards a short time previously I I Others, unable to
swallow the foregoing "crammer," pretended. however, to
be equally well infermed-(?) of the real cause of the opposi-
tion to Buccaneer, which they attributed to his " crooked
suspicious legs" having given way at last; but this
4 shave," like the foregoing, must be received for as much
as it is worth. It is not for us to volunteer a defence of
Lord Portsmouth in this unforeseen misfortune—his lord-
ship's station in society, high feeling, and irreproachable
character place him beyond unjust suspicion.—Bell's Life.
The Sunday Times says :—" We would not like to place
upon paper all the hard words which were uttered respect-
ing the knocking out of Buccanneer for the Two Thousand.
Bookmakers had nothing to do with the proceeding ; the
gentlemen—save the mark I—were the sole operators, and
disgust will only allow us to record the fact. Horses as
instruments of gaming 1 Why, the most needy trainer
of race horses would not have dared to adopt the proceed-
ings of the Earl of Portsmouth."
The Sporting Life says :—" The proceedings in connec-
tion with this horse at Newmarket were perfectly disgrace•
ful, and unless Lord Portsmouth, whose name should dis-
arm even suspicion, makes some public explanation, we
insist that the Jockey Club are bound to investigate the
matter, and deal with it as its serious and disreputable as-
pect deserv, s. For two days at least it was quite clear that
something improper was being done with the horse in the
market, and yet he was not scratched until the last guinea
had been got out of him, and all hopes of further milking'
had vanished. Last year an uproar was made about the
Ralph° business, but the present is a case of sueh question-
able features, that it demands a public inquiry and the
strictest reprehension on the part of the authorities. Lord
Portsmouth can doubtless clear himself of all imputations,
and the sooner he does so the better for his character as an
uaright nobleman, and the better for the interests of the
In this country we acknowledge no distinctions, and de-
mand from peers of the realm the same explanations we
require from the commoner, when an injury has been in-
flicted on the public interests."

ships when sailing from a port they may be appre-

other ship at any port. Their names, together with

age to their own ship. The ratings of petty officers,
in such cases will be suspended, and they are never
to be entered on board such flag or other ship with
any higher rating than that of A. 8., and they are
not to be discharged as part complement to any other
than their proper ships without express authority
from the Admiralty. On reaching their proper ships
they will be received as part complement in any
rating that may be open at the discretion of the
captain, but the It. q.' will never be removed, nor
will arrears of pay be allowed, excepting in conse-
quence of strong explanations from the captain to
their lordships."

The crews of the ships at Spithead and in the har-
bour were last night granted 48 hours' leave, in ac-
cordance with the Admiralty circular, the chief
points of which we have given above. It is impos-
sible to say whether the Edgar's crew have received
any leave with the rest of the ships' crews, for so
much mystery is observed with respect to this ship
that no extent of reliable information can be ob-
tained. It is, however, certain that, from whatever
cause arose the late disturbance on board, it was
much more serious than has yet been Made public.
Rear-Admiral the Hon. F. T. Pelham has visited
the fle3t at Spithead, and is in possession of the
whole facts" in connection with the matter. The
gallant Rear-Admiral returned to town from Ports-
mouth last evening. It is stated that the Marines
on board the Edgar are to be replaced by a draught
from head-quarters.

The hired transports Ellen, Secret, and Sarah,
laden with war stores for Gibraltar andiMalta, yes-
