sale at Newmarket on Wednesday morning. Only three
of the first half scorn were sold at prices given below, and
the least said about them is "soonest mended." They were
bred by the late General Angerstein, at Brandon Hall, and
are remarkable for nothing but to show that the deceased
gentleman's experiment in crossing English thorough-
breds with eastern blood was a decided failure. A yearling
colt by Citadel, from a Don John mare, bred by Mr. Lacey,
near Newmarket, was sold to Mr. Stirling Crawfurd at 450
guineas. This colt is a brown, with fair symmetry in his
top, a good back and loins, and very muscular quarters,
but he has small fore feet and weak pasterns. Caprice (4
yrs), sound and in training, was knocked down to Mr. W.
Norton for Glgs. Scimitar, the grey Arab stallion, that
many frequenters of Newmarket have seen W. Brewtey,
the trainer, ride about the Heath, was sold to Lord Orford
at GSgs. Poor old Hospitality, the horse that won the City
and Suburban, and once beat Fisherman, besides being sire
of Redmire and other winners, was sent up a picture of
equine misery, his near eye having been knocked out
through an accident in his box on his way to Newmarket.
There was, however, no offer for him.

CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES.

A match has been made for the championship of the
Thames and £3OO a side between the renowned Henry
Kelley, of Putney, the present proud possessor of that
enviable distinction, and Joseph Sadler, a landsman, of the
same place, who aspires to it. The contest has been
arranged to take place on the 27th proximo, the course
being from Putney to Mortlake with tido. The defeat of
Robert Chambers, who for some time so gallantly main-
tained the title, by Kelley, must be fresh in the recollection
of our boating readers, as must the recent performances
of Sadler, who has exhibited on many occasions undeniable
prowess.

Sir Lawrence Palk, M.P., and his Tenantry.

On Tuesday was held the court leet for the parish
of Toriroham, at which all the rents due to Sir
Lawrence Palk, Bart., M.P., up to Midsummer last
were paid. In the afternoon some 130 of the
tenantry sat down to an excellent dinner at the
Bath Saloon, Torquay. Sir Lawrence Palk pre-
sided. After dinner the loyal toasts were given,
and duly honoured.

The lioN. BARONET next proposed "The Bishop
and Clergy of the Diocese," in replying to which
the Rev. R. R. Wolfe made a statement of some
interest respecting the Bishop of Exeter. He had,
he said, transacted business with his lordship in the
same way as he should have done with a man 40
years of age. Although the right rev. prelate's sight
had failed him, yet his mental faculties wore as vi-
gorous as ever.

The CHAIRMAN then gave " The health of the
Foreman of the Jury," and in briefly sketching the
nature of the manorial rights of Tormoliam, re-
marked on the singularity of the custom which was
perpetuated—that of empannelling a jury to settle
certain disputes between neighbours. Other re-
minders of the feudal age had departed with the
advance of time, but this still remained.
The FOREMAN acknowledged the toast, and in
return gave "The health of Sir Lawrence Palk."

Sir L. BALK, in commencing his reply, rejoiced
that he was able to congratulate the town upon the
great improvements which had lately taken place.
He referred especially to the handsome street be-
tween tho 'lbw❑ Hall and the Strand, and to the
taking in a portion of the harbour. The hon. baronet
then proceeded to defend Mr. John Harvey from
the attacks which had been made upon him in con-
nection with the widening of the harbour. There
could bo no doubt that the harbour ought to be kept
full at low water, and how that could best be done
he was at present endeavouring to ascertain. Doubt-
less the accomplishment of this object would be a
costly business ; but if it should be considered a
feasible project he hoped he should receive the assist-
ance of the town and of the local board in carrying
it out. Torquay had acquired a great name, and
had drawn around her such a large population
that she had been deemed worthy of enfranchise-
ment. He received many congratulations on the
anticipated honour, and he hoped he received them
with becoming humility. The hon. member for
Canterbury (Mr. Butler-Johnstone) was kind
enough to declare in the House of Commons that
Torquay had no claims whatever to be created a
parliamentary borough. I had received, continued
the hon. baronet, various representations, and some
were very much in favour of a member, while others
were against it. As far as I was personally con-
cerned, I certainly had no wish whatever that Tor-
quay should have a member, because it would have
been very difficult for me to have kept entirely out
of the range of politics, and it was certainly one that
I should have been the very last to have wished to
enter into, because wherever political feeling
runs very high there is always great injury to
good feeling, good fellowship, and sociality. 1
therefore accepted with the same humility that I
accepted the high position that Torquay was to
obtain, the information that Torquay was dropped
quite as quickly as it was taken up. Upon the
merits of the case I have yet to learn that Torquay
with a population of something like 28,000 inhabi-,
tants, is not as worthy of a member as some of the
towns in the North Riding of Yorkshire, or in
Lancashire. I firmly believe that if a member had
been granted to Torquay a most excellent represen-
tative would have been sent up. I know no place
where I can say in my conscience that I believe
there is more independence than there is in the town
and neighbourhood of Torquay. There are men of
independent means gathered together from every
portion of England, men of business-like habits, of
mercantile experience, of great knowledge, of ster-
ling independence, and of very great patriotism ;
and if I were asked where you would find a consti-
tuency that was likely to return a man fairly able
to represent the opinions of the majority of the
inhabitants, I should have said that Torquay was
the very place you ought to have selected. There
was a scheme which I must say I should have ob-
jected
to, which was to have made Torquay a
portion of the borough of Dartmouth. When it shall
be thought right to unite a young and beautiful
girl with a very old and very corrupt old man—
(roars of laughter)—then I think will be the time
to unite Torquay to Dartmouth. But until that
receives general approbation, I trust that Torquay
may be allowed to preserve its purity, and tha t
Dartmouth may retain the character such as it has
always had. (Applause.) The hon. member then
spoke in high terms of the great attention which
had been paid to the sewage of the town, and pro-
mised to co-operate cordially with the Board of
Health in maintaining the high reputation which
Torquay now enjoyed as a healthy town. He did
not say that Torquay was entirely free from those
evils which were inseparably connected with all
overcrowding in the dwellings of the working classes ;
still, the town was much better off in that respect
than many other places were. The labouring popu-
lation of Torquay were better looked after, and con-
sequently freer from disease, than they were in many
other towns he could mention. They would all
agree with him, that every facility should be given
to the local board to carry out sanitary reform. I❑
conclusion, Sir Lawrence gave "The health of Mr.
Kitson," who had long managed the affairs of the
manor, and this was very heartily received.
