SPORTING NOTES.

FOR BRIGHTON, 110

"'fiat niP.n is a fool who at the sight of the bond
dances and leaps ; then is the true jOy when the money
comes." lam not clever at quotations ; but, if my
memory serves me aright, Massiuger puts those words
into the mouth of one of his characters. The sentiment
which it expresses must frequently have been shared in
by turfites, for its truth receives illustration every
settling-day. Bookmakers generally found their week's
work at Good ?good profitable enough, and doubtless on
paper their balance-sheets looked well. The day of
reckoning, however, came yesterday, when even the
largest winners presented grave faces and blank looks.
Money was what they call in the City " light," and no
wonder that complaints and grumblings were frequently
heard.

Mr. Dolling as usual has issued a most attractive pro-
gramme for Brighton—the "ever gay and ever gaudy,
like a Harlequin's, jacket." The town is already filled
with turfites, and the sport in Sussex is likely to be mer-
rily wound up. Still small fields may bo calculated upon
with some certainty, because the hard ground at Good.
wood "found out" many tender footed ones, whilst
others have been "run through." Still business and
pleasure will be agreeably combined. The railway au-
thGritie4 as usual have made ample arrangements for the
conveyance of visitors, and really the courteous secretary,
Mr. F. Slight, and the active manager, Mr. Hawkins,
deserve a vote of thanks from the sporting community,
for the desire which they ever evince to provide travel.
ling facilities.

Twelve events are appointed for decision on Wednes-
day and Thursday. Friday will be devoted to the Club
races, but the scarcity of gentlemen riders will in a
great measure mar their success.

The Brighton Stakes seems, in reality, a "good thing"
for the Cletneutina gelding, who, some people assert,
would have won the Goodwood Cup, if the " vicar" bad
made more use of him. Quince and Termagant appear
to be the only other animals that have a chance. The
former is raid to be in capital condition. Still, although
I am "tickled with the straw" of Lord Clifden, yet I
am induced to piace my confidence in Termagant,
whose parformaLce for the Chesterfield Cup indicated
considerable racing merit.

Aleppo will win the Biennial Stakes. lam puzzled
to select a champion for the Marine Plate, because it is
impossible even to guess what horses will have their
numbers displayed on the telegraph boards. New
Brighton, with all his weight, is the most trustworthy.
Of the three-year-olds, I prefer Astrologus.
Martinet may be capable of repeating his Goodwood
victory for the Nursery Plate. In his default I shall
expect either Tinwald or Bannockburn to win.
The Cup will perhaps be carried off by the Clementina
gelding, who, should Saraband be absent, will have only
a lot of " crocks" to oppose. Amongst the nominations
for the Biennial Stakes, for two-year-olds, are the high•
price Commotion and the " dark " Blue Jacket. The
former may be ‘Aithdrawn. Blue Jacket, who is reported
to be many pounds better than Tinwald and Tourna-
ment, may, therefore, make his first appearance in pub-
lic with success.
Coroner will win the Champagne Stakes.

Accounts respecting the injured jockeys are favour-
able. This evening I intend to " run over from Brigh-
ton to Chichester," in order to make a personal visit to
the Infirmary.

A FRESH MAN.

Naval and Military intelligence.

PORTSMOUTH, MONDAT.—WO much regret, to state that
a most mutinous spirit was evinced last evening by the
Moines belonging to the Caviar, 91, screw, Captain 1101,1),
now in the steam basin-dock. It appears that many of
those on board aro young hands, and not the best of cha-
racters, and it may be that they have some grounds for

complaint. The Caesar has been docked with hor crew on
board. The present regulations of the dockyard aro pe-
remptory as to "no smoking being allowed." Now, this
is a little hard. Now, " Jack in the jolly" would rather
go without Lis middle-day feed than go without his
" baccy." We cannot sea why a certain portion of the ship
. . .

should not be set apart, at proper hours, with a sentry and
police-officer, and let the crew have their half-hour's
smoke; all danger would thus be prevented, and much
cause of grievance done away with. s In this instance the
mai ices have behaved very badly; they have lost caste;
their conduct was insulting and mutinous to their officers
and the captain of the ship. They commenced throwing
shot about the d,ck, broke their mess-traps, and
shouted more like maniacs than men belonging to

the long honoured corps of Royal Marines. This
riotous disposition manifested itself soon after dinner-
time, and continued the whole afternoon. By some means
also—for women cannot be searched at the dockyard
.gates—some vile spirits were introduced in skins, which
completed the mischief. At five o'clock the ringleader was
put in irons, but this was of little avail. Between ten
and eleven o'clock the commander-in-chief, Vico-Admiral
Sir George Seymour, and the Rear-Admiral Superinten-
dent Martin, went on board, and endeavoured to bring the
marines to a sense of their duty, kindly asking them what
they had to complain of, yet firmly telling them that dis-
cipline must be observed at all haz trds. The serjeant of
marines, who has been in the corps upwards of 16 years,

stated that they wero the worst lot of men he had ever had
to do with ; and so refractory had they become that ho

could do nothing with them. At twelve o'clock the admi-
ral thought it necessary to send to the Royal Marine Ar-
tillery Barracks for assistance; and, somewhat to the
alarm of the inhabitants, at between one and two o'clock
(midnight), 200 men belonging to the Royal Artillery
were marched into the dockyard. The knowledge of this
imposing force brought against them produced its effect,
and the ringleaders were ironed and conveyed on board
the Victory. They had threatened to break through the

gates, scale tho walls, and do any amount of mischief
All is quiet to-day, but se'atries are posted all round the
ship and at the cross bridge. The Caasar will come out of
dock this night at ten o'clock, and be towed to Spithead
to-morrow morning.
