GREAT RACKET MATCH.

The great racket match for £lOO a side, and the
Championship of Great Britain, between W. Gray,
of the University Club Court, Dublin, and J. Foy,
of the Officers' Court, Aldershot, both men being
the markers to each of the above clubs, came to a
conclusion yesterday at Aldershot. Both men are
well known as first rate players, and Gray as
having distinguished himself in several trying
matches. The conditions of the match were—the
best out of seven rubbers, played in each man's court,
subject to their respective rules. The first seven
rubbers were played some weeks ago in Dublin,
when Foy was defeated, scoring 0 to his opponent's
4. The match yesterday commenced at a quarter
past two, both men as they entered the court being
warmly applauded. They looked well, but Foy, if
anything, rather too fleshy, and it seemed as if this
would give him trouble in his play against his tall
and spare opponent. There seemed to be great
hesitation about betting, and little business was
done. Foy won the toss, and opened play by scor-
ing 4. After a spirited contest the rubber closed as
follows:—Gray 15, Foy 8. In the 2d, Foy 15,
Gray 11. 3d, Foy 15, Gray 10. 4th, Gray 15,
Foy 6. sth, Gray 15, Foy 11. 6th, Gray 15,
Foy 7. Gray having thus won four out of seven
was hailed the winner, and threw up his racket
amidst considerable applause. The last rubber was
played in a most spirited manner, and with great
determination and skill on the part of both players,
Foy evidently giving Gray considerable trouble.
Throughout the play Foy was distinguished by his
hard hits, while Gray, on the other hand, dropped
his balls low with much grace. Several specimens
of skilful play on both sides drew forth loud marks
of approbation. Foy's hard hitting, although un-
questionably exhausting to himself, seemed rather
trping to Gray, while the long reach of the latter
put Foy to great disadvantage.
There was a large number of officers of the divi-
sion present (notwithstanding the somewhat high
charge for admission, 55.) Among those present
were Colonel Herbert, Assistant Quartermaster-
General ; Major Maclean, Captains Graves, Hig-
gon, and Kin Laird, Lieut. Kennys, &c.
Captain Higgon, Royal Artillery, officiated as
marker, and Captain Kennard and a Mr. Close as
referees, while Major Maclean acted as umpire.
The hat was sent round at the close of the match
on behalf of the loser, and a liberal amount sub-
scribed. It may be stased that the play lasted
somewhat over two hours.

Royal Horticultural Society.

A very crowded meeting of the society was held
yesterday, Lord Hy. Gordon Lennox, M.P., in the
chair. There was an exceedingly interesting display
of flowers. Amongst the most interesting were a col-
lection of roses from Mr. Wm. Paul; primula filicifolia
from Mr. J. Toombs, gardener to Mr. W. S. Roots ;
a fine collection of primulas from Messrs. Winde-
bank and Kingsbury, Southampton ; a fine specimen
of dendrobium speciosum from Mr. Wentworth
Buller, F.R.H.S. ; and a collection of grapes, in a
wonderful state of preservation, from Mr. J. Kelk,
M.P. The Rev. M. J. Berkeley drew attention to
a truncheon of pinus Lambertiana, in which there
was an immense deposit of wood on the lower side
of the branch in comparison with the upper, and to
a little West Indian mollusc, sent by Mr. F. G.
Wilson, which is very destructive to young cucum-
ber plants at Wandsworth. Mr. Bateman, F.R.S.,
delivered an interesting lecture on the Amherstia
nobilis, so rarely flowered in England, the magni-
ficent blossoms of which were exhibited to the meet-
ing. Seven new provincial floral and horticultural
societies were admitted into union, including the
Royal Horticultural Society of Ireland. Twenty-
one new fellows were elected, including Lady
Manners, Rear-Admiral Douglas Curry, Major-
General Lawrenson, Mrs. Knatchbull-Huo•°essen,

The Reform Bill and the Working Men's

Association.

A Special general meeting of the Working Men's
Franchise Association was held last evening at the
Brougham Dining-hall, Fleet-street, for the purpose
of discussing and expressing an opinion upon the
Government Reform Bill. Mr. George Potter,
president, occupied the chair, and there was a
numerous attendance of members.

The CHAIRMAN, after some general remarks, pro-
ceeded to comment upon the various clauses of the
bill, which, on the whole, although falling far short
of what the public required, still was an advance
in the right direction, and he thought reformers
generally would be wise in accepting it. (Hear.)
At the same time there was no reason why they
should not endeavour to ,get some of the clauses
amended in committee, and especially the lodger
clause, which as it stood was of little, if any, benefit
to the working classes. The words " clear, yearly,
value of £10" now standing in it would prevent any
lodger obtaining the franchise who paid less than
from £l4 to £l6 per annum rent. He thought the
simple payment of £lO per annum rent, or 4s. per
week, should give the vote, and a regulation of that
sort would admit the best portions of the working
classes. (Hear.) He had seen several of the metro-
politan members upon the subject, who had pro-
mised their assistance in obtaining an alteration in
the clause—(hear)—and were willing to meet the
committee of the association in conference on the
subject. Then again there was the objectionable
disfranchising clauses—(hear)--relating to the
dockyard workmen, and also to the important ques-
tion as to extending the hours of polling in large
constituencies. All these points require the active
attention of the association.

A long and interesting discussion ensued, taken
part in by Messrs. Troup, Jenkins, Perry, Davis,
Squire, Bligh, FaucettWills, and others, the speakers,
with two exceptions, supporting the bill as the best
likely to be obtained.

A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the
meeting.

The Reform League.

A large and influential meeting of the Council of
the above league (adjourned from Friday last) took
place last evening to consider the Government bill.
The meeting was largely attended by representa-
tive men and delegates from the various trades'
societies, such as bricklayers, carpenters, plasterers,
shoemakers, tailors, printers, &c., and from twenty-
three metropolitan branches of the Reform League;
and by several well-known London reformers, in-
cluding W. T. Malleson, E. D. Rogers, C. 11. Elt,
Lieut.-Colonel Dickson, Dr. Perfitt, Montague
Leverson, Charles Bradlaugh, Richard Moore, Rev.
Mr. Bonner, Peter Gill, &c.

lution and two amendments brought before the last

Odger, George Brooke, W. R. Cremer, Wynne,
C. H. Flt, J. R. Taylor, Dr. Perfitt, Geo. Howell,

solution by a large majority :
" That this council, while strictly adhering to the
principle of residential and registered manhood suf-
frage as the only just, sound, and permanently
satisfactory basis of representation for this eountry,
and whilst protesting against the insufficient provi-
sions of the Government Reform Bill now before
Parliament, deem it their duty, under the circum-
stances, to support the Government against the
combined Conservative and sham Liberal parties in
enabling such bill to pass."

THE NEW REFORM BILL.

Mr. DU CANE asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
in reference to the Representation of the People Bill, whe-
ther it was intended that the occupation franchise for
county voters should, in the case of non-resident claimants,
be joined with premises of £G value, as stated in the bill
itself, or of £7, as stated by him in his speech on moving
for leave to introduce the measure?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
provision was stated very clearly in the bill. .£6 was the
value of the premises.
LOSS OF THE IBIS.

Mr. WHITESIDE asked the President of the Board of
Trade whether it was intended to make inquiry into the

because the cause of the loss of the Vessel was sufficiently
obvious. He did not know that 16 lives had been lost on

made.

were a moderate show, at late prices.

White wheat, 52s to 56s ; red, 42s to 52s per 36 stone.
Barley for malting, 35s to 41s per qr; feed, 27s to 31s per
30 stone. Oats 24s to 38s. Beans, old, 48s to Us; noir
40s to 44s per qr.

LIVERPOOL—TUESDAY.
We are no lower to-day for really choice new good'
conditioned wheat, but for an 3 thing short of this descrip-
tion we can hardly find a sale ; we note no alteration in the
value of old. The sale for barley is not very active, priceS
rather easier. Beans, oats, and other articles as before.

INCENTIVES TO GAMBLING.

The disclosures which sully the columns of sport-
ing journalism, and of which the last week or two
have been singularly prolific, are traceable to an
unmitigated love of gambling. It is easier to de-
nounce it than to arrest it, for there are several
sources of this widely-spreading demoralisation.
The one which is the most apparent is the extension
of that ambiguous class, the commission betting
agents ;'whose name is now Legion, and who attack
the unwary by specious advertisements in the several
papers devoted to their sport. What is sport to
them is death to their victims. We are satisfied
that the turf, or rather the presumed object of the
turf, suffers by them. The race of English horses
for general purposes deteriorates under the influence
of the gaming propensities which they foster, and
the country would be the better for their utter ex-
tinction. We say all this in the interests of sport.
If gentlemen find it necessary to their expenses to
back their horses, at least let' them do so systema-
tically among themselves. It may be no profitable
pastime, but we may trust to its being honest and
above suspicion. Every facility that is given to
the poor man to carry his hardly-earned wages to
the betting-list or the commission agent- is a fatal
mistake in the wisdom and morality of the country,
and every public man is bound to denounce and to
oppose it.—Land and Water.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Pills.—Dyspepsia, In-
digestion, Flatulency, Heartburn, Biliousness, Nausea,
Want of Appetite.—French philosophers trace the moral
feelings of the mind to the state of the stomach, and there
is much wisdom in the speculation. The stomach to the
human body is more than the kitchen to the domestic
establishment—be it ever so slightly disordered, the whole
internal economy is deranged. The young may smile at
the simile and disbelieve the tremendous sacrifice indiges-
tion exacts from its victims. The day will come when they
will lament over their dyspepsia, as thousands stronger
than themselves have done, when it will be well for their
comfort and happiness if they will remember these pro-
phetic words and hold in readiness Holloway's pills, a cer-
tain safeguard.

MALT TAX.

Mr. SELWINgaye notice of his intention, on an early day
after Easter, to move a resolution in favour of a reduction
of the duty on malt.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

Mr. H. B. SHERIDAN asked the Secretary of State for
the Home Department whether it was the intention of her
Majesty's Government to bring in any bill during the pre-
sent session of Parliament to amend the law relating to
weights and measures, so far as the same referred to the
use of local and customary measures, and the present
mode of imposing and applying the penalties and costs
under the Act 5 and 6 Will. 4, c. 63.
Mr. CHILDERS said it was the intention of the Govern-
ment to introduce a measure, but they did not contemplate
bringing in a special bill to effect the particular point re-
ferred to by the hon. gentleman.

The Reform Bill and the Working Men's

Association.

A Special general meeting of the Working Men's
Franchise Association was held last evening at the
Brougham Dining-hall, Fleet-street, for the purpose
of discussing and expressing an opinion upon the
Government Reform Bill. Mr. George Potter,
president, occupied the chair, and there was a
numerous attendance of members.

The CHAIRMAN, after some general remarks, pro-
ceeded to comment upon the various clauses of the
bill, which, on the whole, although falling far short
of what the public required, still was an advance
in the right direction, and he thought reformers
generally would be wise in accepting it. (Hear.)
At the same time there was no reason why they
should not endeavour to get some of the clauses
amended in committee, and especially the lodger
clause, which as it stood was of little, if any, benefit
to the working classes. The words " clear, yearly,
value of £10" now standing in it would prevent any
lodger obtaining the franchise who paid less than
from £l4 to £l6 per annum rent. He thought the
simple payment of £lO per annum rent, or 4s. per
week, should give the vote, and a regulation of that
sort would admit the best portions of the working
classes. (Hear.) He had seen several of the metro-
politan members upon the subject, who had pro-
mised their assistance in obtaining an alteration in
the clause—(hear)—and were willing to meet the
committee of the association in conference on the
subject. Then again there was the objectionable
disfranchising clauses—(hear)---relating to the
dockyard workmen, and also to the important ques-
tion as to extending the hours of polling in large
constituencies. All these points require the active
attention of the association.

A long and interesting discussion ensued, taken
part in by Messrs. Troup, Jenkins, Perry, Davis,
Squire, Bligh, FaucettWills, and others, the speakers,
with two exceptions, supporang the bill as the best
likely to be obtained. _ _

A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the
meeting.

THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

Mr. READE asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department if the transit of cattle by railway would be
prohibited after the 24th March ?

Sir G. GREY said it was not expedient that the prohibi-
tion should be continued for any lengthened period, but
that there ought to be certain restrictions. It was intended
to issue a general order on the subject, in which those re-
strictions would be embodied. It was desirable that some
time should elapse between the drawing up of the order
and its taking effect, and therefore between those two
periods the prohibition would be continued.

had been committed, but it did not appear to be within the
cognizance of Mr. Parry.
The Clerk of the Crown was ordered to attend to-mor,
row to announce the return.

The other orders of the day were then disposed of and
the house adjourned.

Launch of the Sylvia.

Her Majesty's screw steam-vessel Sylvia, of four
guns, was launched in a most successful manner at
Woolwich Dockyard yesterday, from No. 2 slip, in
the presence of a large number of spectators.
The sum allowed by the Admiralty for the launch
was expended in a most judicious manner by the
erection of a platform with raised seats on the build-
ing slip at the bow of the vessel, for the accommo-
dation of ladies and those provided with tickets ;
and precisely at 4 o'clock, the tide being then near
its full, the ceremony of christening the Sylvia was
performed by the niece of Commodore-Superinten-
dent Hugh Dunlop, C. 8., and the vessel glided at
once from her cradle into the Thames amidst the
cheers of the spectators, after which she was made
fast to a dockyard buoy. The Sylvia was laid down
at this dockyard about six years ago, but her com-
pletion was suspended in consequence of the decision
of the Admiralty to discontinue the building of tim-
ber veesels. About two years since she was sur-
veyed, and it was then determined to make some
alterations in her designs, and convert her into a
vessel adapted in every respect for the surveying
service. This work has been well carried out under
the superiutendance of Mr. Turner, master ship-
wright ; and Mr. Reed, chief constructor of the
royal navy. The Sylvia is a smart-looking vessel,
having fine lines, and is well adapted for speed
either under steam or sail. She is fitted with a very
commodious chart-room, and her interior arrange-
ments are excellent. She has received her screw and
shaft, and will be removed into the basin to be fitted
with her machinery and completed for commission.

Royal Horticultural Society.

A very crowded feting of the society was held
yesterday, Lord Hy. Gordon Lennox, M.P., in the
chair. There was an exceedingly interesting display
of flowers. Amongst the most interesting were a col-
lection of roses from Mr. Wm. Paul ; primula filicifolia
from Mr. J. Toombs, gardener to Mr. W. S. Roots ;
a fine collection of primulas from Messrs. Winde-
bank and Kingsbury, Southampton ; a fine specimen
of dendrobium speciosum from Mr. Wentworth
Buller, F.R.11.5. ; and a collection of grapes, in a
wonderful state of preservation, from Mr. J. Kelk,
M.P. The Rev. M. J. Berkeley drew attention to
a truncheon of pinus Lambertiana, in which there
was an immense'deposit of wood on the lower side
of the branch in comparison with the upper, and to
a little West Indian mollusc, sent by Mr. F. G.
Wilson, which is very destructive to young cucum-
ber plants at Wandsworth. Mr. Bateman, F.R.S.,
delivered an interesting lecture on the Amherstia
nobilis, so rarely flowered in England, the magni-
ficent blossoms of which were exhibited to the meet-
ing. Seven new provincial floral and horticultural
societies were admitted into union, including the
Royal Horticultural Society of Ireland. Twenty-
one new fellows were elected, including Lady
Manners, Rear-Admiral Douglas Curry, Major-
General Lawrenson, Mrs. Knatchbull-Hugessen,
Dr. Forbes Winslow, &c., &c.

SUBSCRIPTIONS for the WIDOW and
CHILDREN of the late Captain R. IL GRONOW,
formerly of the Grenadier Guards, and Author of " Recol-
lections and Anecdotes," " Celebrities of London and
Paris," &c. Captain Gronow, who lately died in Paris,
has left a widow and four young children, by his second
marriage utterly destitute, without means to defray his
funeral expenses, or even to purchase bread. Captain
Gronow was disinherited by his father, in favour of
his brother, a clergyman, and the small income which
he derived from the interest of a sum charged on the family
estate ceased with his life • while the sums he received
from time to time for his " Recollections" were expended
in providing for the increasing expenses of his young
family. Under these distressing circumstances the friends
of Madame Gronow in Paris came to her aid, and they now
appeal to the liberality of her late husband's friends in
London, and also to the readers of his Reminiscences, for
contributions to enable her to maintain and educate her
children.

DROMPTON.

The counter attractions at the " Wick " and Bow made
the attendance yesterday limited, but still the racing was
very good. The principal events were as under :

S. MARSHALL (of llatcham) and W. MELnutsH (of
Lambeth) had to run 200 yards for £lO, 31elhuish having a
start of ono yard. They wont by report of pistol, and got
off very evenly together, but in the end Marshall, having
collared his man at half the distance, won by a couple of
yards. Mr. Bush was referee, and 11. Andrews starter.

Tucx and BAILEY.—This was the event of the day.
They had to run half a mile for £2O, and much excitement
was manifested as to the result. Joe Tuck has been cele-
brated as a fine runner at the distance, and has lately come
back to his old form ; ho now hails from Lambeth, but
was well-known as of Fakenham, in Norfolk. William
Bailey is of Deptford. Mr. Charles Westhall was both starter
and referee. The men had to make two circuits of the
course to complete the distance. In the middle of
the back stretch Tuck was leading by three yards. In
coming into the straight for home ho was six yards in
front. Bailey made a desperate effort and gradually gained
upon the leading man, but Joe Tuck eventually won a fine
race, but by a foot only.
