QUBSCRIPTIONS for the WIDOW and
CHILDREN of the late Captain R. 11. 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.

Subscriptions received by Messrs. SMITH, ELDER, and

FRIDAY

for 500 says, for Count de le Bigne. Farintosh won
the Selling Race, and Valentino, after running in
the handicap, came out again, and won the Prix du
Department, value 80 soya. The Camp de Chalons
races were on the same day, August the 10th, and
the attendance was principally confined to the mili-
tary, who numbered about 27,000, then in this
camp, which is situated about nine miles from the
town of Chalons. The running ground was not in
very good order, being sandy, which rendered it
rather heavy going. The principal race, the Prix
du Conseil-General, of 120 soya, was won by Rub-
rique, 3 years old, Bst, beating Benjamin,l6 years old,
Bst 91b, and three others. This was succeeded by the
Prix de la Ville de Rheims, of 120 sovs (gentlemen
riders), and was won by Said, beating Affidavit
and Grande Dame. A Military steeple-chase and
steeple-chase for half-bred horses concluded the
day's sport. The business arrangements of this
meeting were admirably carried out under the
superintendence of Prince Murat.
On the 15th of August races took place at Ostend,
in Belgium. The principal event was the Grand
Handicap steeplechase, value about 160 sovs, four
miles and a quarter, and was won by Oliver Twist,
aged, 10st 71b, beating Noreus, list 131 b, and three
others. Bruges (in Belgium) races commenced on
the 20th of August, and Sportsman, by Tupsley,
won the Selling steeplechase, value 50 soya ; and
Nereus won the Handicap steeplechase of 100 sovs.
A good day's steeple-chasing took place at Waereg-
hem, in Belgium, on the 29th of August, and the
Prix de la Societe (handicap), of 120 soya, was won
by Banting, by Lambton, 5 years old, 9st 71b, beat-
ing four others ; and Sentence won a steeplechase
of 80 sovs in a canter, beating three others. Stras-
bourg races were held on 26th and 27th of August,
and were only remarkable for the easy manner in
which Billet-Doux, Bst 21b, won the Strasbourg
handicap in a canter, by ten lengths, beating Sou-
mise, 9st 81bf second ; Orphan Girl, aged, Bst 91b,
third, and seven others not placed, thus showing the
public what he could do.—Land and Water.

in their last year's boat, built by Salter, or in a new
one if she can be got ready in time.
The Oxonians, though hardly so tall as the
" crack" crews of '6l, '62, and '63, are a very
heavy, well-made set of men, and nearly six foot
average in height. They are rowing wonderfully
well, considering that ten days shall intervene be-
fore the race, and their pace is undeniable. Faults
there are a few, such as going too far back with
3,7, and 6, and shoulders too round with 4,2,
and 3, but there are far fewer holes to be picked in
their performances than in those of Cambridge.
They will show themselves in public to-day
at Putney. For the sake of sport we hope for a
race, and that we think there will be, judging so
far in advance. For the sake of fair play, we and
all sympathise with the chances of Cambridge ; but
do not wish, or even expect them, to win till they
surpass in style, az at present they do not, the long
reach, slashing, sweeping stroke, and massive swing
of the Oxonians.—Herald.

CATTLE PLAGUE.

Mr. DENT asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether the Government had decided upon the compensa-

tion to be paid to persons whose cattle were slaughtered
by orders of the Privy Council or the local authorities,
previous to the passing of tho Cattle Diseases Act ; and
from what funds such compensation would be paid?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
matter was one of great difficulty, and the Government
had not yet been able to decide how to frame the orders
for compensation.

DOCKYARD ELECTORS.

Mr. OT WAY asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether he would object to substitute for the clause in the
Bill for the Representation of the People, which would
deprive the artisans in her Majesty's dockyards of the
franchise, ono enabling those artisans to give their votes
by ballot ; and whether the act would be applicable to
officers on fully pay ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it
WAllla -La ilerfartly 01. n.• to whom tha not would apply.
With respect to the other part of the question, the Govern-
ment were not prepared to admit secret voting. The mea-
sure was not so much to to protect the artisans themselves
as the members they might elect.

GUN FACTORY CHARGES.

In reply to Mr. H. TRACY,

The Marquis of HARTINGTON said changes had
been made in the gun factories, and each arm was made to
show its own expenses. Tho preparation of a new balance-

THE COMPANIES' ACT.

Mr. H. SEYMOUR abked the President of the Board of
Trade if he intended to introduce a measure to alter the
Companies' Act, 1862, to enable companies, by special re-
solution of their shareholders, to diminish the nominal
value and increase: the number of their, shares, re-
taining intact the original amount of the capital of the
company ?
Mr. M. GIBSON said the matter had been under consi-
deration with a view to the introduction of a bill. The
provisions of the bill had not been yet finally arranged,
but he hoped to be able to introduce the measure early
after Easter.

THE WHITWORTH GIIN.
In reply to Mr. WHITE,

The Marquis of HARTINGTON said the gun referred
to was not constructed entirely on the Whitworth prin-
ciple. The gun, which was of a larger calibre, had only
been used experimentally, and as there were none tried of the
eight or nine inch bore some would be ordered and effec-
tually tried before they were introduced into the service.

SANITARY PRECAUTIONS.

Mr. C. SURTEES asked the Under Secretary of State
for the Home Department if he would state what orders
her Majesty's Government intended to issue regarding the
movement of hides and skins ?
Mr. BARING said hides from India and Australia
would be allowed to be removed without any obstruction,
but skins and hides of animals that had died of disease
would not be allowed to be moved at all. Skirls of animals
which had been in infected districts would not be allowed
to be removed until disinfected.

The report of the directors states that the accounts
showed a balance of £258,241, and after payment of
£71,034 for dividends on preference shares and stocks
there remained £187,206, out of which the directors
recommended a dividend at the rate of 71 per cent.
on the ordinary stock, and on the Scottish Central
stock at the like rate of 71 per cent. per annum, in
terms of the amalgamation act, making together
£182,156, leaving a surplus of £5,050 for the con-
tingent fund, which from expense of renewals now
became reduced to £3,241. The revenue of the
amalgamated companies amounted to £709,501,
against £663,283 in 1865, showing an increase of
£46,218 ; and the working expenses amounted to
£274,971, or 381 per cent., against £275,538, or
411 per cent. in 1865, showing a decrease of £567.
The expenditure on capital account during the half-
;
year amounted to £458,455. The result of the first
half-year's working of the combined undertakings
now forming the Caledonian Railway justified the
favourable anticipations entertained of the value of
the Scottish Central and the other Amalgamated
Acts of last session. The directors were confident
that the proposed additional amalgamation, for which
the sanction of Parliament was being sought, would
be similarly advantageous. Those were with the
Scottish North-Eastern Railway, the Aberdeen or-
dinary stock of which was to receive a dividend at
the rate of 3 per cent. per annum for the half-year
ending Jan. 31, 1867, to rise a quarter per cent. each
half-year till it reached 4 per cent. for the term end-
ing Jan. 31, 1869, this ultimate dividend being en-
titled to contingent increase in the event of the
Caledonian ordinary dividend exceeding 7 per cent.
For example, a 71 per cent. Caledonian dividend
would entitle the Aberdeen proprietors of 41 per
cent., and so on ; the Caledonian being always 3
per cent. in advance of the Aberdeen. The Scot-
tish Midland and Dundee and Arbroath ordinary
stocks would receive rateably increased dividends,
as at present. With the Forth and Clyde Junction
Railway Company the dividends on their ordinary
stock were to be at the rate of 1 per cent., for the
year to July 31, 1867, of 11 per cent. for the next
year, and so on, increasing half per cent. till they
reached 31 per cent. as a fixed maximum. Another
agreement had been entered into for the acquisition
of the Forth and Clyde Navigation at 61 per cent.
per annum, being the average rate earned by that
company for many years past. The capital account
showed that £14,797,407 had been expended.

vious rates. In the refined market common lumps and
titlers are quoted 44s to 44a 6d per cwt.

business entered into consequent upon the high rates at
present demanded by holders.

TALLOW.—The market remains dull. P.Y.C. on the

premises, will open a branch office at 25, Ludgate-
Lill, as soon as the necessary alterations are com-
pleted.

bridges, and Co., the drafts drawn upon them by
Messrs. Latouche and Co., of Dublin, have been

The traffic returns on this company's line from
Smyrna to Cassaba, including the branch to Bour-
nabat, since the opening throughout to those points
on 22d Jan. last, amounted for the week ending 28th
Jan. to £575, for the week ending 4th Feb. to £623,
for the week endingllth Feb. to £564, for the week
ending 18th Feb. to £648, and for the week ending
25th Feb. to £738. These returns were in the worst
season of the year, and without goods traffic from
Cassaba, which was regarded as the principal source
of revenue.

CALEDONIAN.

The report of the directors states that the accounts
showed a balance of £258,241, and after payment of
£71,034 for dividends on preference shares and stocks
there remained £187,206, out of which the directors
recommended a dividend at the rate of 71 per cent.
on the ordinary stock, and on the Scottish Central
stock at the like rate of 71 per cent. per annum, in
, terms of the amalgamation act, making together
; £182,156, leaving a surplus of £5,050 for the con-
tingent fund, which from expense of renewals now
became reduced to £3,241. The revenue of the
amalgamated companies amounted to £709,501,
; against £663,283 in 1865, showing an increase of
£46,218 ; and the working expenses amounted to
£274,971, or 381 per cent., against £275,538, or
411 per cent. in 1865, showing a decrease of £567.
The expenditure on capital account during the half-
year amounted to £458,455. The result of the first

CATTLE DISEASE.

Sir G. GREY, in reply to Colonel EDWARDS, said it
was important that a permanent measure should
be introduced. A committee, however, was sitting on
the subject, and it was better to defer the
introduction of a bill until the committee had made its
report.

THE POOR LAWS.
In reply to Mr. DE GREY,

Mr. VILLIERS said the subject of a retiring pension
to Mr. John Chamberlain, of Norfolk, had been under the
consideration of the Poor-law Board, but they could
not recommend the pension, because that person had not
been exclusively employed in the administration of the
poor laws, as laid down in the act which governed such
cases.

The wheat trade ruled inactive, especiall7 for foreign
and secondary sorts, while only best qualities of home-
grown realized current quotations. There was an active
inquiry for barley, both for malting and grinding purposes,
and prices had an upward tendency. In beans there was
a steady trade, and prices were fully maintained. For
oats there was an improved demand, at full value.
The following are the average quotations: —Wheat, red,

LITERATURE.

Hester's Sacrce. By the author of " St. Olave's,"
" Janita's Cross," &c. 3 vols. Hurst and

Blackett.

It is always pleasant to read a work by the
author, or, we should say, the authoress of " St.
Olave's." Her style is so refined and graceful,
without the least appearance of effort, her charac-
ters are (for the most part) so natural, and the
purpose of her writing is always earnest and elevated.
The discipline of life is the moral of her works.
Whether it is " Janita" bearing her " cross"
or " Hester" acquiescing in her " sacrifice," the
same lesson—the lesson of Longfellow's Psalm of
Life—is ever enforced very simply but very touch-
ingly enforced—by the author of " St. Olave's."
The work just published bears many of the admir-
able characteristics of its predecessors. Hester
Tredegar is just the heroine to offer a sacrifice; and
her sister, the wild, impetuous May-Blossom, is just
the character to sacrifice, no matter whom, to her
wayward caprices of the moment. When we first
meet Hester she is " a shy, quiet girl of three-or-
four-and-twenty. Pleasant to look upon if only for
the reason that there was nothing remarkably striking
about her." And then " Hester was a fanciful girl,
fond of building castles in the air—castles which
all came down with a crash before the top-stone
was put on." Two events come to disturb and
brighten the monotonous current of Hester's every-
day life. Basil Brooke is appointed to the master-
ship of the Angusbury school of art, in which
Hester is one of the most proficient pupils, and little
May, the darling little May, dear as a child to her
elder sister, returns home from her foreign
school. The experienced reader easily surmises
how these two events, each so delightful, in itself,
painfully affect each other, as far, at least, as poor
Hester is concerned. The following very happy
simile depicts Hester in the hour of her sacri-
fice ;

DEVON AND CORNWALL.

The half-yearly meeting was held yesterday at the
office, Westminster-chambers, Victoria-street ; the
Earl of Portsmouth in the chair.
The report stated that the line from Yeoford to
North Tawton was opened for public traffic on the
Ist of November last, and that a further section—
viz., from North Tawton to Belstone-corner—would
be ready for opening in July next. The permanent
survey for the Bude and TOrrillgtoll Railway was
now in a forward state. When the remaining shares
in the district had been subscribed for arrange-
ments would be made for the commencement of the

works.
The report was adopted. Messrs. F. J. Thynne
d Mr. J. were elected directors, and
Aa
In
r.
Bird,i jt.he retiring director, and Mr. 11. Notman,
the retiring auditor, were re-elected.

Mr. R. A. Wallington, solicitor and clerk to the
Local Board of Health at Leamington, was brought up on
remand, at Bow-street, yesterday, charged with perjury.
1i he question was whether a document which 31r. Walling-
ton had sworn ho signed on the 12th March was signed on
that day or on the 11t11. Witnesses were called on both
sides, and their evidence was wholly contradictory. The
magistrate committed the case for trial, but accepted Mr
Wallington'e own recognioances for his appearance.

THAMES.

A NOTORIOUS RECEIVER IN TROUBLE.—William Childs,
a confectioner of No. 192, Pentonville-road, from whose
piemises largo quantities of stolen property have been
taken, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with
feloniously receiving, knowing to be stolen, six paintings
value £3O.

Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution
for Messrs. Tingle and Jacobs, lightermen, of Billiter-
street, City. On the Ist of December, 1863, his clients
wore employed to convey six pictures in a waggon from
the stores of Messrs. Aldridge and Co. the picture dealers,
in King William-street, for conveyance to a ship in the
St. Katherine dock for exportation to the Cape of Good
Hope. The driver of the van went into the dock house to
get his papers signed and left his team at the
door. In his absence the horses and van were
driven away and were found at a distance on the
same day. The pictures were gone. A man named Thomp-
son was taken into custody the next day charged with
stealing the horses, van, and oil paintings, convicted and
sentenced to 4 years' penal servitude. Nothing was seen
of the pictures until the 21st of February, when a City de-
tective went to the prisoner's house to search for other
stolen property. He saw the six pictures there—three in
frames and three without. He made inquiries about the
paintings and ascertained they had been stolen. Ho seized
them on the 23d of February, and gave information to the
Metropolitan Police. A letter was afterwards sent to the
Superintendent of the City police force by the prisoner
stating that he purchased the six oil paintings for £2O
of a person named Cromer, of Lawn-house, Stepney-green.
Yesterday the prisoner was arrested by Forster, a police-
constable No. 207 H, who asked him why ho did not go to
the City station-house and demand the paintings, to which
he replied, " It's not very likely I should go there. The
paintings had been identified by Tingle and Jacobs, and by
the servants of Aldridge and Co."

Mr. Gomm, for the prisoner, called a woman named
Connor, who said her late husband was dead ; she heard
him and the prisoner having a conversation in December,
1863, or some other time, about pictures. Her husband
received £2O of the prisoner. _ .

. Mr. Partridge said the last witness did not remove the
' suspicion against the prisoner.
. .

Forster—Tho prisoner is a notorious receiver.
Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoner till Tuesday.
