The Windsor Grand Military Steeplechases, on Monday
and Tuesday, and the St. Albans Steeplechase Meeting,
on Thursday and Friday, will be well patronised; but, as
a similar class of horses are engaged at both places, it
would be impolitic to criticise the programme.

Owing to the death of his trainer, R. Cotton, all Mr. C.
Alexander's horses have paid for their Chelmsford engage-
ments.

Sultan and The Beadle were struck out of the Liver-
pool Grand National on Tuesday last, and thus all hopes
of the Duke of Hamilton repeating his 1867 coup are
ended for a season.

The melee which resultod from the falling of Lady
Zetlaud, April Morn, and Harebell, in the City Handicap
at Lincoln, was only attended with injury in ono instance,
H. Corry unfortunately breaking his collar bone.
Mr. Sills's colours are green and white hoops; Mr.
S. Bland's, white jacket, with light blue stars, cap the
same ; Captain Green's black, gold belt ; Mr. E. Anthony's
scarlet and white hoops, scarlet cap ; and Colonel Pcm-
berton's violet, silver stripes.
Lord Calthorpe's colours are now those of Captain
Machell's reversed, namely, blue jacket and white cap.
Mr. J. Potter has purchased from Mr. Hodgman the
filly by Vedette out of Ethel, who ran second in the
Juvenile Selling Stakes at Lincoln, and since named her
Lady Kew.
Van Amburgh, 5 yrs, after sustaining a defeat in the
Lincolnshire Handicap, altogether unexpected by his party,
went into Mr. Hodgman's stable.

BERNE, Feb. 22.

The inhabitants of the Canton of Soleure yester-
day voted against the total revision of the Consti-
tution, therefore the continuance of the present
system of Government is assured.

CII Y OF LONDON EL EC7 I ON- T.HIS DAl'.

By virtue of the writ which Parliament ordered to
issues/on Wednesday last, the Sheriffs of the City of Lon-
don this day, at 1 o'clock, proceeded to the election of a
member to represent the City, in the stead of Mr. C. Bell,
deceased. The election, as usual, took place in the Guild-
hall. The entrance into the hall of Baron Rothschild, the
only person nominated to fill the vacant seat, called forth
a burst of cheers from the electors assembled. Mr. Craw-
ford attended the proceedings, and his appearance elicited
cheers.
