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.

Subscriptions received by Messrs. SMITH, ELDER, and
Co., 65, Cornhill, and 45, Pall-mall ; and by Messrs. Cox
and GREEI,IWOOD, Army Agents, Craig's-court, Parliament-
street.

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 Kinnaird, 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.

GAINSBOROUGS—TtrzsDAY.

Our market to-day was pretty well supplied with wheat,
which sold slowly, and prices were very little altered. New
white descriptions sold at 50s to 535; red and mixed, 49s
to 50s per 30 stone. There was a moderate supply Of
barley, for which the demand was slow, prices being with-
out much variation. Oats were at late prices. The
re
de-
mand for beans was healthy, and recent rates were
realised.

A STARTLING INCIDENT.

"It would be thought odd," replied Mr. Bumps, " that an
an old, rusty usher—l'm forty next week—should sit by a
bright boy's bed-side, and talk to him of love and heart-
aches."

" Pray do, sir—pray do, sir !" Falkner said this so
imploringly that Mr. Bumps looked at him with both eyes
at once. He then proceeded: "I told you I was intended
for the medical profession, and should have, perhaps, made
myself a reputation, had I not met a young girl—and loved
her.

" Lyle, be warned by me ; don't fall in love, as it is
called, until you have mixed a little with the world, and
found employment for your ambition and learned the value
of success. Don't allow yourself to fall in love when love
would be all in all to you, as I did."
Mr. Bumps paused, and Falkner was impelled almost to
confess that the warning came too late—that he loved
hopelessly, and that the world was a blank ! But he had
not the courage.

"I was a prosperous wooer fora time," continued Mr.
Bumps, "until the young lady's parents discovered my
pretensions, and then I was shown the door—l was
ejected."

" Again like me, if he, only knew it," thought Falkner.
" I hoped on, however," continued Mr. Bumps. "My
affection increased, feeding upon my fancy ; and I believed
that a day would come when I should marry the love of
my youth."

"And did you not ?" asked Falkner, anxiously.
" No—l never should have done so whilst her parents
lived ; but why should I tell my ghastly story to you ?"
said Mr. Bumps, rising. "No —should we meet when you
are older I may return to this conversation."
"Pray tell me now, sir—l have a strong reason for ask-
ing you," said Falkner. " Remember, I am nearly
eighteen —"

" And I was but one year older," replied Mr. Bumps,
resuming his seat. "Well, you shall hear what followed.
I was articled to a surgeon, and had been sufficiently dili-
gent to be allowed to attend the anatomical lectures at St.
Thomas's. It was before Parliament had legalised the
obtaining of subject; and such as were procured came sur-
reptitiously from violated graves. One evening I went into
the dissecting-room—chatting carelessly with a fe)low-
student—just as the face of a new subject had been un-
covered. I saw it !—knew it ! I had not heard that she
had been ill—her unrelenting father had kept us apart,
even when the grave had opened to receive her—l caught
her in my arms—l rushed from the dissecting-room to
become for many days a patient in the hospital. From the
hour of my recovery I abandoned my profession—l lost all
care for the future—all care for myself, and am what you
know me."

In the second volume we are introduced to some
amusing characters in the Cathedral town of St.
Gnats. Miss Eke is the scandal-monger and whist-
player of the town. Here is her portrait :

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

110 USE OF COMMONS—THIS EVENING.
Mr. Donsou (deputy-Speaker) took the chair at twelve
o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

Jr. CO WTER moved that the Thames Embankment
(North) Approaches, the Thames Embankment (Chelsea),
and the Park-lane ImproTement Bills be referred to a
select committee, consisting of eleven members, six to be
nominated by the house and five by the committee of selec-
tion.

A discussion ensued, in which Viscount Cranbourne, Mr.
Roebuck, Mr. Locke, and Mr. Henley took part, the matter
in debate being the source from which the funds for the
improvernentswere to be drawn, and the rights of the Duke
of Northumberland with respect to that part of his pro-
perty affected by the bill.
An amendment was eventually moved that the bills be
referred to a select committee that day six months, but
it was negatived without a division, and the bills were
referred to the committee, as proposed by the First Com-
missioner of Woiks.

THE NEW REFORM BILL.

Earl GROSVENOR gave notice of his intention to move
an amendment to the motion for the second reading of the
new Reform Bill. His resolution was to the effect, that,
ready and willing as the house was to come to a settlement
of the question, it yet was inexpedient to discuss the mea-
sure brought in by the Government until the entire scheme
for the amendment of the representation of the people
was before it. (Loud cheers from the Opposition.)
Sir W. HUTT gave notice that he should also move
an amendment to the effect that the bill should not take
effect until an act had been submitted to the house for the
redistribution of seats. (Loud cheers from the Opposi-
tion.)

Sir A. BULLER asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether, in the event of the bill for the representation of
the people passing into law, it was the intention of the
Government to introduce any measure in relation to cor-
rupt practices at elections ; and, if so, when ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
could no more give a definite answer than he had in the
statement he made when he introduced the bill. It was
decidedly urgent that some measure should be prepared,
but he could give no pledge when such a proposal should
be brought forward.

PEDESTRIANISM.

___.~

HACKNEY-WICK.

JOHN COOPER AND WILLIAM MILLS.—EXCITING FIVE-
MILE RACE.--Both are of Bethnal-green, and more than
usual interest was attached to the match, from the fact that
the latter is the brother of the celebrated champion Ed-
ward Mills. The stakes were £5O, and as both have bean
successful in various handicaps which have of late taken
place at the metropolitan grounds, hence the present
match. Mr. Baum's grounds were in excellent order, and
the preparations for the great Easter meeting are already
completed. The men, to complete the five miles, had to
pass the referee (Mr. H. Woodstock) 34 times, there being
at least 1,000 persons present yesterday. The men went
off almost evenly, and although Cooper had a trifle of the
start in the first few yards, Mills now commenced one of
the sharpest contests seen for some time. The latter tried
hard to leave his opponent, but ho could never get more
than at the most a yard and a half ahead, and in these po-
sitions Mills finished a yard in front at the end of the first
mile; time 5 min. 2 sec. There was no variation in the
second mile (10 min. 15 sec.), at the finish of which Milts
was still a yard in advance. At the commencement of the
next mile Cooper for the first time rushed to the fore,,and
during this mile (the third) it was good racing, first one
and then the other being in front, Mills again leading in
the twentieth and twenty-first laps by a bare yard. The
fourth mile was equally well contested, but at its finish
Cooper was two yards ahead. In the first lap of the last
mile they almost ran side by side, when Mills, cheered on
by his friends, again took the 'lead in the second ; Cooper
was in front a couple of yards in the thirty-first and thirty
second laps, when Mills came up again, and in the thirty-
third was a trifle in advance. The thirty-fourth, or last
round was a most exciting struggle. Cooper went in front,
but again did Mills get before the other. The efforts of
the latt©r were, however, of no avail, for once more did
Cooper take the lead, and Mills, completely exhausted, fell
at
abouts 100 yards from home. The time of the five miles
was
min. 51. sec., and scarcely has a better race been
seen.

LITERATURE.

Falkner Lyle ; or, the Story of Two Wives.

Mark Lemon. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett.

The famous advice of the modern ./Esop " To
persons about to Marry—Don't" should have been
inscribed as a motto to this story of two wives. The
good wife who is married to a bad husband, and
the good husband who is married to a bad wife, are
equally unhappy and unfortunate, and their several
histories may serve to point a wholesome moral as
well as to adorn an interesting tale. An unhappy
star watches over the destiny of Falkner Lyle, the
hero of the book. In his early youth he falls in
love with Ethel, the good heroine, but his suit is
unsuccessful. Here is a glimpse of Ethel in those
days of early fascination :--

And was Ethel deserving this devotion and admiration ?
Yes, indeed—as, as apart from her beauty, which she wore

_ •
like an every-day garment, neither seeking to secure
admiration nor conscious of provoking it, she possessed
such a sweet nature that even the old could not resist its
influence, but loved her as the aged delight to love the
young. Although there was no indication that Ethel would
become a strong-minded woman—a soul misplaced—she
was endowed with firmness of character and a quick per-
ception of right and wrong ; so that her good opinion be-
came of value, and there was good promise that, should
occasion try her, she would prove faithful to any hopes
she had inspired in those whom she had won to love and
trust her.

In this number is not included Falkner Lyle.
His fickle affections are then transferred to the
charming and heartless Bertha Clare, an Indian
heiress, and the Belle of the Beach at Dearport—
Bertha, who boasts to her most devoted friend that
from her earliest days she has loved no one, father,
mother, friend, or relative. This amiable lady,
however, listens to the suit of Falkner Lyle, and
becomes one of the " two wives" whose histories are
here related—hint lachrymx. Before quitting
the narrative of Falkner's earlier experiences, we
must mention a startling anecdote recorded for his
benefit by the prudent friend who seeks to cure him
of his love for Ethel :

QUEBEC, March 9.

Great excitement prevails in Canada on the subject of
an anticipated Fenian invasion, and extensive military
preparations are being made throughout the country.
A Cabinet Council was held on the 7th inst., at which
it was determined to call out 10,000 volunteers. All the
militia are enrolled, and it is expected they will be called
out immediately. The people throughout Canada, are
promptly and enthusiastically responding to tho Govern-
ment calls. Government has seized the Montreal telegraph
line. An impression prevails that the Fenians will make
a demonstration against Canada on St. Patrick's day. It
is reported that the Canadian Government will sespend the
Habeas Corpus Act before that time.

BROMPTON.

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 Hatcham) and W. Mnmtutsx (of
Lambeth) had to run 200 yards for £lO, Melhuish having a
start of one yard. They went 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 H. Andrews starter.
TUCK 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 he was six yards in
front. Bailey made a desperate effort and gradually gained
upon the leading man, but Joe Tuck eventually won a fin 9
race, but by a foot only.

VICTORIA STATION AND PIMLICO.

Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this com-
pany was held at the offices,Westminster-chambers,
Victoria-street ; Mr. W. Lee, M.P., in the chair.

The report, an abstract of which has appeared in
The Sun, was taken as read.

The CHAIRMAN remarked that the brevity of the
report might be taken as an indication of the pro-
sperity of the company. It was stated in the re-
port that the revenue account showed a balance of
£8,946, admitting of the same dividend as last half
year—viz., 3+ per cent. ; that during the current
year the receipts would provide a dividend of 7i
per cent., and in 1867 the dividend would reach
its maximum of 9 and a fraction per cent. He
wished to correct this statement, as in 1867 the
dividend would reach its maximum of 9 per cent.,
with an occasional bonus. He then moved the adop-
tion of the report, whiCh was seconded by Mr.
Blyth, and carried unanimously.
Messrs. G. Witt and P. P. Blyth were re-elected
directors, and Mr. J. Ball as auditor. The dividend
of £3 ss. per cent. for the half-year was declared.
A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the
proceedings.

MIDLAND AND GREAT WESTERN JUNCTION.
It appears that the bill for this line has been

withdrawn.

pany and the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
Company for mutual traffic facilities, by which the
