SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

EGIIAM RACES.—WEDNESDAY.
This pleasant meeting condoled most successfuly, the
sport being good and the company very largo—greatly in
excess, indeed. of Tuesday. The weather was again bril-
liantly fine, but the heat was too oppressive to bo enjoy-
able. Much better time was kept than on the opening
day, and altogether the gathering passed off with a success
that must have been highly gratifying to the promoters.
Full details of the sport will be found appended, and we
therefore take leave of the meeting by remarking tL•at the
" welching" division were in such force that the respect-
able persons who had taken the "lists" were subjected to
all sorts of indignities, and eventually they bad to take
refuge in the ring. The police in attendance did their duty
well, but they were not powerful enough to put down

these pests of the racecourse.
Handicap of 10 sovs each, 3ft, with 50 added; the second
and third to receive the forfeits in the proportion of 2 to

1. Half a mile.

After several false starts the flag fell, Court Card imme-
diately taking up the running, followed by Ulan and Hue
and Cry, and they ran thus throughout, Court Card win-
ning easily by three lengths ; Ulan defeated Hue and Cry
two lengths for the second money ; Feemy was fourth, the
Calot colt fifth, Ammunition sixth, and Miss Frances last.

The latter made play, closely attended by Secrecy, Stag-
hound, King Charming, and Redcap, Catalogue, and Pearl
Diver on the right being most prominent of the others.
They ran in this order for half a mile, when Staghound
took up the running, and opposite the Stand appeared to
be winning in a canter, but Peppier called resolutely on
Mdlle. Cleopatre, and answering gamely, she got on equal
terms with Mr. Payne's horse ; Covey, however, used his
whip with such effect, that Staghoune shot out and won
in the last three strides by a head ; Secrecy was a bad
third, Catalogue fourth, King Charming fifth, Pearl
Diver sixth, Redcap seventh, Harry Brailsford eighth,
Fanchette ninth, and Pyrrhic last. Fanchette pulled up
very lame after passing the post, having broken down
badly.

Pas de Charge jumped away with a clear lead of La
Dauphine and Leases, Milly bringing up the rear, and in
this order they came into the straight, Pas de Charge
giving way as they rounded the turn. The issue resolved
itself into a match between La Dauphine and Leases, the
latter apparently having the best of it at the commence-
ment of the enclosure, but dying away, the favourite won
rather cleverly by half a length. Three lengths separated
the second and third, the Crosslanes colt was fourth, Pas
de Charge was fifth, and Milly last.

Staghound made play for a couple of hundred yards,
when Leases taok up the running, followed by Staghound,
Star of India, Vex, and Pakrita in the order named, till
passing the gap, where Vex ran into the third place. Be-
low the distance Staghound again took up the running,
and won in a canter by two lengths ; a similar dista nee
separating Leases and Star of India; Vex, close up, was
fourth, Pakrita fifth, and Rapine last.

expressed by the examiners in Sheffield at the in-
quiry, that it is the intention of the Legisl tture to
give the labour que,ition that consideration to which
it is entitled, and trust that its deliberations will
be so wisely directed as to remove the causes for
these illegal acts being do..e, and by legislative mea-
sures afford more satisfaction to both employer and
employed, in their connection with each other."

DUBLIN, Aug. 14.
The echoes of the last fierce struggles for the re-
presentation of the city of Londonderry are still
ringing through our courts of law. First we had
the sounds of renewed strife in the Common Pleas
and Exchequer, where actions to recover penalties
for alleged bribery and corruption were heard for
several days. These were caught up at the assizes,
where actions for libel were brought by way of re-
prisal, and we have now the same forces arranged

was at issue, and that two actions could not
be instituted for the same cause, and the plaintiff's
rejoinder being that the other was a collusive one.
A question of law is thus raised, which may prolong
the dispute until the litigants fight their way into
the House of Lords. Another action for penalties
was brought against Mr. Humfreys, son of the land
agent of the Marquis of Abercorn, and the chief
interest centres in this owing to the circumstances
of the case andthe rank of the person concerned. A
trial took place in December last in the Court of
Exchequer, and ended in a disagreement of the jury.
In support of the prosecutor's case a witness named
Daniel Miller was produced, who swore that "he
saw Lord Claud John Hamilton, Mr. Humfreys,
and Mr. Thomas Lindsay in the publichouse of
Thomas Kelly, in Londonderry, the day of the
election, and heard Mr. llumfreys call for three
half glasses of brandy, and saw Mr. HumfreYs
hand something, which he thought was a roll of
notes, to Kelly." For this statement he has been
put in the dock at the Commission to answer a
charge of perjury. Mr. Macdonogh, Q.O and Mr.
~
Hamilton conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Dowse,
Q.C., and Mr. BPLughlin, defended the prisoner.
The several parties stated to have been present
were produced as witnesses, and contradicted in ex-
press and positive terms every one of the allegations
made in the prisoner's evidence. Mr. Dowse, for the
defence, contended that the trial had been brought
for the purpose of strangling the action for penalties
against Mr. Humfreys. lie examined witnesses, who
deposed they saw the above-named gentleman
they
com-
ing from the direction of Kelly's shop, but
proved nothing more, and on cross-examination
they were not positive as to identity. The jury in
a few minutes returned a verdict of guilty, with a
recommendation to mercy on account of the priso-
ner's youth. Chief Justice Monahan, in passing
-
sentence, expressed his full concurrence in th
dict, and taking into consideration the appeal of
the jury, sentenced the prisoner to six months' im-
prisonment with hard labour.
A practical tribute to the excellence of the dietary
in the Mountjoy convict prison was paid by a priso-
ner named Short, who had been convicted for larceny
at the last commission. Sentence was then deferred
in consequence of the absence of some papers which
the court required to see, and they ase remained
over until this commission. Thep soner, it may
be observed, was an object of sympathy, having re-
ceived a sunstroke in India, where be

A project for the establishment of

vived, with, it is supposed, some
being carried out. A preliminary meeting,at which
the Hon. G. HandcoA took the chair, has benee ohelal
and a committee appointed to
confer with tRd
Dublin Society. The scheme at first included
f an
application to the Government to appropriate or
the purpose of the proposed college sum of £15,000,
which it was thought remained in hand out of the
fund collected for the inspection of cattle during the
continuance of the rinderpest. This proposition
would doubtless have added to the popularity of the
project, as it suggested an easy method of realfsing
ht more ed-
it; but, on consideration, it was thoug
visable to omit it at least in the first instance.

RABBITS.--Rabbits have increased in such num-
bers in Victoria that warrens are now formed in various
parts of the country, where good sport is obtained. The
sandy soil is particularly favourable to them, and they are
rapidly increasing. English hares are also beginning to
show themselves in pt.ac,es where they were not suspected
to be. Another flock of Angora goats had been received
from the Cape of Liood Hope.
