A NEW PASSAGE THROUGH THE ISLAND
OF SPITZBE.RGEN.

The Christiania Morning Gaiette (Morgenbladel) of the
2d October, reports from the 2romsoe Mercantile Gazette
(Stiftstidente), the fellowing important geographical disco-
very :—" These who have a knowledge of the charts of
Spitzbergen, will have observed that the firth or sound,
being nearly 20 Norwegian miles in length, stretches from
the north to the south, and for the greaterpart divides that
island. It is commonly called Storfjordon,' or the great
firth, but 'older descriptions call it Wibeland's Water (a
name, I think, given by the Dutch). All the charts which
I have seen indicate that there exists no outlet from the
head of the said firth in any direction. That this is the
case has also hitherto been the general belief of the seafar-
ing people of Finmark who annually visit Spitzbergen. In
this year, however, two or more vessels of this place had
sailed onward and back through a sound going out from
the head of the said firth in an easterly direction, having
thus, without any difficulty, reached tie eastern coast of
Spitzbergen, which is generally thought to be the richest
fishing ground, though in the course of this summer it has
not proved so. The Sound is narrow, as is also the north
end of the ' Storfjorden' itself, hardly a stonecast in width.
A strong current runs through it, which however, is by no
means dangerous either to vessels or to boats. The navi-
gation this season to Spitzbergen has not yet entirely dis-
continued, as all the vessels had not returned. The catch
hardly surpasses an average year ; so far, therefore, the new
passage has been without a practical result." " Tromso°,
Sept. 20.--Spitzbergen, by its seal and walrus fisheries, as
well as its bear hunting, becomes year by year of greater
importance to this place, and as there is generally a great
complaint among the seamen about the lack of a reliable
chart of those regions, it world be desirable if our Govern-
ment would choose to send out an expedition in order to
remedy this great want."

One of the French* officers who took part in the
recent battle between the Papal and Piedmontese troops
relates a singular incident :—Captain de Charette found
himself engaged in conflict with swords with a Piedmontese
officer, and wounded him. On seeing his adversary fall,
M. de Charette bent over him, and the Piedmontese officer
was only able to press his hand and expire. They recog.
nised each other at that supreme moment as old acquain-
tances, having been fellow pupils at the Military College
of Turin.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Useful sympathy. Let all who sympathise with the afflicted
remember that mild and gentle manners may soothe, but
cannot save the sufferer, but Professor Holloway has ena-
bled their deeds to prevail beyond their words—with his
certain remedies many a compassionate friend has restored
vigour to the failing memory, cheerfulness to the exhausted
mind, and health to the wan cheek.:Every.visitorlto the sick
may without fear safely and effectively use Holloway's
world-renowned ointment and pills. Appropriate instructions
envelope every pot and box. Under Holloway's benign
treatment condolence is not long desirable, convalescence
comes apace, soon to give place to joyous health. Such caeca
daily occur, and are recorded with unbounded gratitude.

SPURTING NOTES.

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.
The sport of last week was of the most attractive charac-
ter. The withdrawal of Dundee, however, from the Clear-
well and Prendergast Stakes deprived them of the interest
which would otherwise have attached to them. Mr.
Merry, however, had a good representative in Folkestone,
who had no difficulty in cutting down the moderate lot op-
posed to him in the Clearwell Stakes; but he was unsuc-
cessful in the Prendergast Stakes with the Phemy colt,
who had to succumb to Preceptress by a head. Mr. Merry
has now two good strings to his bow for next year's Derby,
in Folkestone and Dundee, and I would not be surprised if
Folkestone should turn out the Lest on the eventful day.
However, those who back them at present are sure to have
rare hedging during the winter, as they are both sure to see
a short price. Three came to the post for the 100 Sovs
Sweepstakes, and Sir J. Hawley's Venus filly was made a
rattling favourite with 6to 4on her. She, however, in no
way justified such odds, for she compounded the moment
she was collared, and Roesia, the extreme outsider in the
betting, won by three-quartet's of a length from Eda, the
favourite being at least four lengths behind them. Roesia
is engaged in the Cambridgeshire with the moderate weight
of sst 71b, nearly 2st less than Dulcibella, and no doubt will
give the winner of the Cesarewitch some trouble.
There were only 27 starters for the Cesarewitch, being
the smallest field we have had for some time.
They got away at the first attempt, the front division
being composed of Moorcock, Killigrow, Optimist, Dulci-
bella, Heiress, Plumper, Lady Trespass, Ben Webster, The
Prophet, Golden Pippin, and Sir William ; whilst the
middle and hinder lot consisted of Stapletoßaiatka, The
Alderman, Newcastle; Cape Flyaway, Comforter, Rising
Sun, Ancient Briton, Feodorowna, Mavourneen, Barabbas,
and Glendinning. When they had settled into their places
the running was taken up at a good pace by Moorcock,
Killigrew going at his side, Dulcibella, Heiress, Lady Tres.
prss, and Golden Pippin being in close order. They ran
thus to the Ditch Gap, where Dulcibella, full of running,
and pulling hard, rushed to the front, and on,passing the
bushes Golden Pippin was beaten, and only five were actu-
ally in the race—viz., Dulcibella, Optimist, Moorcock,
Heiress, and Lady Trespass. About half-way up the hill
SadlereiresstOok a pull at Dulcibella, but midway between the
cords she shot out, quitted her horses at every stride, and
won in the commonest of canters by ten lengths. There
was a length and a half between the second and third
horses. Moorcock was a tolerable fourth, and Lady Tres-
pass fifth. Ben Webster, Cape Flyaway, Feodorowna, and
Plumper headed the next lot, Tho last trio consisted of
Viatka, Starke, and The Prophet. Fortune again smiled on
my selection. On Monday last I wrote as follows :—" To
choose between such a lot of animals as these enumerated
is no easy matter. Those that I expect the winner to
spring from are COMFORTER, OPTIMIST, HEIRESS, DUI,
CIBELLA, MAVOURNEEN, and SIGNET." From the above
it will be seen that in my lot against tho field I had the
good luck to name the first, second, and third horses, two
of them being at 20 to 1 when I made my prophecy. Of
course the result of the race had a material effect on the
betting for the Cambridgeshire, as little as 4 to 1 being
taken about the winner.

The winner is by Voltigeur out of Priestess (winner of
the Northamptonshire Stakes ten years ago), and was bred
by Lord William rowlett, who gave William Day £6OO
for Traducer in the spring, and " threw in" Dulcibella
besides, contrary to the advice of Sam Rogers, who wished
his lordship to run the latter for the Queen's Plate at
Epsom on the Thursday, and for the Oaks on the follow-
ing day I The Cesarewitch is remarkable for surprises of
this nature, Weathergage, a cast-off, having won in 1852,
whilst last year it was carried off by Artless, a selling
plater I Dulcibella is not so bad a winner for the Ring
as might be expected, although the stable commission
will take a large aura out of it. In addition
to Mr. W. Day and Mr. Parker, both of whom win great
stakes—Mr. D., on dit, nearly £ls,ooo—Mr. F. Swindell,
Mr. Armstrong, Mr. J. Bennett, Mr. Ashworth, and Mr.
Reeve are the chief winners amongst the bookmakers ; and
of the " upper ten thousand," though most of the gentle-
men "got through," the only stakes reported to b. won are
by a noble Hampshire lord, and one or two Dorsetshire
gentlemen connected with the Woodyates stable. Book-
makers wero uncommonly shy of making an offer against
Dulcibella for the Cambridgeshire, for which her weight,
including 71b penalty for winning the Cesarewitch, is 7st
31b—she thus meets Optimist on 51b and Heiress on• 51b
worse terms

Ancient Briton pulled up lame, and his chance is out, as
is also that of Ben Webster and,Comforter. Killigrew,
Golden Pippin, Heiress, Feodorowna, Optimist, Lady
Trespass, Moorcock, Rising Sun, and Sir William all ran
sufficiently forward to show they would be backed to do
the shorter course were Dulcibella out of the race; but
Dulcibella had so much the best of the race from start to
finish, pulling over them, in every part of the race, that her
extra 61b will not counterbalance the victory, and Ben
Webster, Golden Pippin, and Rising Sun have each 21b or
31b extra on their backs also. • She is, however, meeting Sir
William on 91b worse terms, and the latter had better be
kept on the right side. The remaining handicaps afforded
one or two Cambridgeshire horses an opportunity of dis-
playing a respectable form, and Moorcock's victory in the
Handicap Plate over the mile and a quarter on Thursday
would have brought him to 10 to 1 had he not started for
the Cesarewitch ; as to beat Gladiolus at 31b and Gallus
at 9lb was a great performance, for it showed him to be quite
the equal of the pair at about even weights, and it will tako
a veritable " flyer" to beat his Cesarewitch conqueror,
Dulcibella, in the Cambridgeshire. Thunderbolt's easy
victory over Buccaneer brought him• prominently into
notice, and as little as 14 to 1 was taken about him. To
select a lot thus early is a difficult matter, but the winner
may turn up in the following :—Cantine, Madlle. Chantilly,
Dulcibella, Thunderbolt, Sir William, Gridiron, Brassey,
Heiress, Roseia, Precise, and John Osborne and Ten
Broeck's representatives. There will be a good meeting at
Lewes on Wednesday, but the events to be decided call for
no particular notice. A FRESH MAN.
