Escape.
A false start occurred, and La Pique struck her foreleg
into the heels of one of the horses, injuring it so severely
that New at once dismounted and led the animal back to
' the enclosure. Mrs. Naggleton took up the running im-
mediately the flag fell, and maintained a clear lead until
half a mile of home, when Red Rose went to the front and
won in a canter by twenty lengths ; half a length separated
second and third ; Escape, last throughout, being beaten
off.
The winner was sold to Mr. Daily for 70 guineas.
Hoa.sas v. HOUNDS.—A match of £35 a-side between hun-
ters, 12st each, and.beagles; about two miles and a half;
one horse to every couple of hounds ; the hounds to be
allowed ono minute start, but any hound must be thirty
seconds in advance to win.
The "trail" was inefficient, and the wind being strong
the scent lay so badly that after going a mile the horses
headed the hounds and won easily, Mr. Hurman's Lamb-
ton (Mr. Pul:in) coming in first. Two couples of hounds
and two horses were started.
TionsEs v. HouNDs.--A match for £25 a-side, four miles,
between hunters, 12st each, and hounds ; conditions as
in the preceding match.
This was run on tho opposite side of the river, but the
result was equally fatal to the hounds, as after going half a
mile the horses had caught them. Eventually Mr. B.
Land, sen., on Kennet came in in advance of the hounds,
thus winning easily. Three horses and three couples of
"drag" hounds started.
The ROYAL HUNT Cur did not produce a race.

PARIS RACES,

• it

IL 14.

Notwithstanding a cold east wine and rather ‘ungenial
weather for the season of the year, the second day of the
Paris Spring Races passed off exceedingly well, and the
attractions in the Bois de Boulogne prove much stronger
than those offered by the Exhibition, which on the last oc-
casion was almost abandoned by visitors. A good display of
carriages lined the rails opposite the stands, and conspi-
cuous among them wore many new list carriages, with the
.prices offered on cards for each race suspended from the
windows, and the owners seemed to be doing a good busi-
ness. The races commenced shortly after 2 o'clock with the
Prix de Boulogne, for which Alexandra was made the
favourite, but she never showed particularly conspicuous in
the race, which was won by M. Lupin's Yolande, who was
claimed. The Prix de l'lmperatrice was the race of the day,
and Auguste—none the worse for two sea journeys during
the week—won in a canter; Etoile Filante was hope-
lessly beaten on going up the hill about a mile from
home, Vertugadin and Gontran both started ; tho former,
when leading, went the wrong course, and was thus out of
the race; the pace was good all the way, and certainly4e
best horse won. The Prix do Longchamps Was-rem:tar-
able for the appearatice cf Patricien in M. Delemarre's
stable ; this colt has been lately, backed for the Derby, and
after the race 12 to 1 was f4ken- The Prix de la Seine
brought out a good field. The Prix de Blaugy was won by
an outsider—viz., Alabama, at 10 to 1, thanks to the good
riding of G. Pratt,-who completely stole the race, as Plutus
waad.ao'innenjinugst by a had. Plutusaasilyebuthisjocy wishing to draw it fine,
got was backed heavily by
the stable, who looked unutterable things after it was over.
The races are fully described below.

Lord Henry G. Lennox, First Secretary to the
Board of Admiralty, arrived at Portsmouth last
evening from London, and will be joined here this
morning by the. First Lord, the Right Hon. 11. T.
Corry, :M.P., and other members of the Board.
The ostensible reason of the present visit of their
lordships to Portsmouth is to afford them an oppor-
tunity of inspecting the ironclad ships now in com-
mission at the port, and more especially the iron-
plated wooden frigate Royal Alfred, 18, Capt. F.
A. llerbert, flagship of Rear-Admiral Sir G. R.
Mundy, K.C.8., and the iron-plated frigate Belle-
rophon, Capt. E. Tatham, with their central main-
deck batteries of the 12-ton guns. The two fri-
gates are lying at Spithead, in company with the
iron plated wooden frigate Lord Clyde, 24, Capt.
Roderick Dew, C. B. The Admiralty steam yacht
Enchantress, Staff Commander Petley, has attived
at Portsmouth from Woolwich, for the service of
their lordships during their stay at the former port.
An Admiralty order hasbeen received at Chatham
dockyard which has created some dissatisfaction. It
directs that in future the whole of the officers of
the establishment are to commence their duties at
their respective departments at the same hour the
workmen,. enter the dockyard in the morning, and
are to continue at their duty during the whole of
the working hours of the day. They are, under no
circumstances, to leave their duty during the day
without having previously obtained the sanction of
the Capt.-Superintendent of the establishment. It
is probable that some remonstrance from the offi-
cials concerned will be addressed to-the Admiralty
respecting the order in question.
' The chartered troopship Beaumaris Castle, with
time-expired and other troops from the various corps
serving in the Bengal Presidency, disembarked her
troops at Gravesend on Saturday, under the super-
intendence of Col. Stewart and the other disembark-
ing officers of the Staff from Chatham garrison.
The detachments brought home consisted of 16 men
of the 2d (Queen's) Dragoon Guards, 13 men of the
7th (Princess Royal's) Dragoon Guards, 10 men of
the sth (Royal Irish) Lancers, eight men of the
Royal Horse Artillery, five men of the llat Brigade
Royal Artillery, two men of the 16th Brigade, Royal
Artillery, three men of the 24th Brigade, Royal
Artillery, eight men of the Ist Battalion of the 11th
Regiment, six men of the 2d Battalion of the 12th
Regiment, two men of the Ist Battalion of the 20th
'Regiment, seven men of the 27th Enniskillens,
one man of the 43d Light Infantry, nine men
of the 46th Regiment, 1 man of the 51th Regiment,
11 men of the 55th Regiment, 1 man of the 80th
Regiment, 16 men of the 88th Connaught Rangers,
13 men of the 91st Highlanders, 1 man of the 104th
Bengal Fusiliers, 8 men of the 105th Madras Light
Infantry, and 20 men of the 107th Bengal Infantry,
together with 24 soldiers' wives and children, and
three soldiers ordered to be discharged the service
by sentence of a court-martial. The Beaumaris
Castle also brought home a portion of the left wing
of the Ist battalion 20th Regiment, from Calcutta,
together with the following officers :--Capt. E. A.
Patrickson, in command ; Capt. W. D. Nunn; Lieut.
F. Manse], Lieut. G. V. C. Napier, Lieut. H. L.
Ricard, and Ensign W. F. Rudman, with Assist.-
Surg. A. Kelsall in medical charge. On being dis-
embarked the time-expired troops were forwarded
by railway to the depots of their respective corps to
await the arrival of their discharge documents from
the Horse Guards. After disembarking her troops
the Beaumauris Castle was towed up the river to
the East India Docks to discharge her cargo.
On Sunday the Lady Eglinton steamer arrived at
Gravesend from Dublin, having-on board two non-
commissioned officers and 27 men of the Royal Horse
Artillery, 21 non-commissioned officers and men of
the Royal Artillery, five non-commissioned officers
and men of the 3d (Prince of Wales's) Dragoon
Guards, four men of the 45th Regiment, one man
of the 96th Regiment, three men of the 103 d Regi-
ment, and one man of the 106th Regiment. The
troops were disembarked at Government Quay,
under the superintendence of Colonel Stewart, and
were forwarded the same day to join their respective
depots at Chatham, Maidstone, Woolwich, Canter-
bury, and the other stations.
Her Majesty's 11-gun screw steam sloop Royalist,
669 tons and 150-horse power, from North America
and the West Indies, Commander E. G. Earle, was
paid out of commission on Saturday last, at Wool-
wich. She is ordered to be placed in the third-class
steam reserve. The whole of the ship's company
presented a clean and satisfactory appearance.
The screw steam frigate Liffey, 31, fitting at
Devonport for the first division of the Steam Reserve,
left Keyham dock on Friday morning and proceeded
outside the breakwater, where she tested her engines
and machinery at the measured mile. On return-
ing through Hamoaze she fouled one of the hulks
and incurred some slight damage to' her head-gear,
&c. She was hauled again into Keyham yard to
complete her fitting.
The paddle frigate Terrible, Capt. John E. Com-
rnerell, V.C.. C. 8., steamed out of Portsmouth har-
bour yesterday to Spithead anchorage on the com-
pletion of repairs to her engine entablature, and
preparatory to sailing for the Mediterranean.
The composite built twin screw gunboats Avon and
Cracker have been taken in hand for building, ac-
cording to the new designs of the Controller's de-
partment on the slipways of Nos. 3 and 5 building
sheds of Portsmouth dockyard. The Cracker has
her central keel plates just laid, but the Avon has
some 20 of the frames of her midship section in
position, and bolted on to her keel plates. In an
adjoining shed the timber built twin screw gun ves-
sel Ringdove is up in frame from stem to stern.

The screw line-of-battle ship Colossus, and the
screw frigates Imperieuse, Euryalus, Termagant, and
Arrogant have been struck off the lists of the steam
reserves at Portsmouth and handed over to Messrs.
Castles and Beech, of London, by whom they have
been purchased from the Admiralty, for removal to

the Thames, where they will be broken up. The
entire squadron of wooden built ships of war pur-
chased by Messrs. Castle and Beech for breaking up
also includes, from other steam reserves than Ports-
mouth, the Collingwood, Cressy, and Orion screw
line-of-battle ships, and Chesapeake and Leander
screw frigates. These ships possess a combined

tonnage of 24,305, and a nominal engine power of
4,030 horses. The purchase money for the entire
fleet did not exceed £68,000. Such a sum may seem
to be ridiculously small for such a fleet of vessels
with their machinery and stores ; but with the pre-
sent glut of such machinery in the market it can
only be fairly reckoned in value as old metal. At all
events, whether the Messrs. Castles and Beech gain
or lose by their large purchase the steam reserves of
her Majesty's navy are well rid of such useless vessels,
whose presence in our harbours monopolised valu-
able water space to the daily injury of the public
service, and whose names were only retained on the
Admiralty Navy List at an enormous annual charge
on the Navy Estimates for maintenance and repair.
The screw liners Majestic, Brunswick, and Sans
Pareil Lave been sold by the Admiralty out of the
Devonport Steam Reserve to Messrs. Marshall and
Co., of Plymouth, the purchase-money being in a
proportionate ratio to that paid by Messrs. Castles
and Beech.

The Orontes, screw troop ship, Captain Phelps,
sailed from St. Helen's Roads, cast end of the Isle
of Wight, yesterday, at 6 p.m., for Plymouth and

the Mauritius, calling iu at Queenstown and

Gibraltar, the gale in the Channel, which has pre-

vailed during the last three days, having very con-

- -
siderably moderated.
Lieut.-General Sir George Buller, K.C.8., Mili-
tary Commander-in-Chief of the South-west Dis-

Chatham, who Lae completed their course of mus-
ketry instruction at the llythe School of Musketry,
arrived at head-gurrters, Chatham, on Saturday,
and will be relieved by similar detachments from
the several depots at the garrison. The whole of
the infantry troops at Chatham will shortly be
armed with the new breech-loaders, several thou-
sand stands of arms having been despatched from
the armoury, Chatham, for conversion.
On Saturday a detachment of 18 non-commis-
sioned officers and men of the Commissariat Staff
Corps arrived at Chatham garrison from Altlershott,

to relieve a similar detachment of the corps doing
duty at Chatham for the past two years.

VOLUNTEER REVIEW AT DOVER.

The following are the General Orders :
"1. The Volunteer Corps, of which the atten-
dance at the Review has been sanctioned by th e
Secretary of State will be formed in Brigades and
Divisions, as shown in a statement of the distribu-
tion of the force hereto annexed.
" 2. No company is to be of less strength than 20
files, or of greater strength than 32 files ; the num-
ber of company officers accompanying the troops is
to be strictly limited to three for each company.
" 3. Battalions should, if possible, be made up to
at least six companies. No corps of less than• four
companies will be admitted as a battalion.
"4. The rank and file of the infantry should be
provided with blank ammunition, at the rate of 20
rounds per man.
" 5. Ammunition in the proportion of 40 rounds
per gun for the 9-pounder and 6-pounder guns, and
the 12-pounder howitzers; and 30 rounds per gun
for the guns of position, will be served out to the
field artillery on the ground.
" 6. It is recommended that every Volunteer
should carry with him his provisions for the day.
For this purpose be should be provided with a havre-
sack and a water-bottle. It is also most desirable
that each Volunteer should have a cloak, cape, or
great coat. Uniformity of pattern as regards these
garments may be dispensed with on this occasion,
provided they are folded neatly, and carried iu the
same way throughout each corps. Officers com-
manding battalions will give the order for their men
to cloak when necessary.
" Volunteer officers acting as brigadiers and bri-
gade majors will wear a crimson sash over the left
shoulder.
" 7. Commanding officers must bring with them
to the review field states of their respective corps,
piepared according to the usual form.
" S. In the case of a corps of garrison artillery
or of infantry, which is joined with others in a bat-
talion on this occasion, the field state is to be handed
to the officer commanding the battalion, to enable
him to make out a field state for the whole battalion.
" 9. The field states will be given by commanding
officers to the brigade majors of the brigades to
which they respectively belong, and they will be
subsequently collected from the brigade majors by
an assistant inspector of. Volunteers.
" 10. The metropolitan corps will be conveyed
by special trains from Cannon-street, Charing-cross,
Blackfriars, and Victoria Stations precisely in the
order prescribed in the detailed instructions for the
departure of the several corps which have been al-
ready published.
" 11. The conveyance by railway of the country
corps will be carried out according to the arrange-
ments made by- officers commanding corps direct
With the railway authorities.
" 12. Commanding officers should take steps to
insure the punctual arrival of their respective corps
at the railway stations at the hours which have been
fixed for this purpose.
" 13. While proceeding through the streets of the
metropolis to the railway station, commanding
officers arc to be careful in keeping their corps from
overlapping any corps that may be in their front,
and they must regulate their order of march so as to
keep the thoroughfares clear.
" 14. When a corps arrives within 100 yards of
the railway station its band must cease playing.
" 15. With a view to avoid confusion at the
metropolitan railway stations, a corps is not on any
account to approach within 100 yards of the station,
unless it. is properly told off, and prepared to enter
the carriages, on reaching the platform, in regular
military formation ; neither is a corps to attempt to
enter the station, should it arrive there while another
corps is engaged in entering. In such a contingency it
must wait until the entrance is clear. On entering a
