VICTORIA UNITED CLUB AT BOW.

On Saturday last the Prince of Wales Grounds, Bow
was well attended by the members and the friends of the
above club, who held their athletic meeting— another so-
ciety founded upon the excellent establishment of the Satur-
day half-holiday movement. The programme was a
lengthy one, but all was got through in admirable style.
Mr. Preston was the judge, Mr. Matthews the starter, who
were aided most efficiently by John Goulding, the manager
of the ground. The following is a brief return:—
Race of 100 Yards.—F. Bishop, jun., won very easily
before J. G. Le Grys, who was second.
One Mile Race.—There were seven competitors for this
contest, and up to half the distance the struggle was well
maintained. After this time, however, the race was left to
the three placed, C. E. Rainsford winning easily at last,
and coming in first by 30 yards, F. Richards second, and
R. Hardy third.
High Jump.—For this there wore three competitors, each
being allowed three "tries." E. Matthews won by clearing
4ft gin; J. Le Grys was second, with 4ft Gin.
Throwing the Cricket Ball.—The competitors were con
fined to two throws each, and much excitement was caused,
the Bow Grounds being well adapted for witnessing such
displays. Jeffcoate won by throwing 83 yards 1 foot ;
Hardy second, 82 yards 1 foot, only a yard behind.
Quarter of a Milo Race.--Fivo started, when an excel-
lent contest ended in F. Richards breasting the tape first,
F. Bishop being second.
Race of 200 Yards.—This also fell to F. Richards, who
came in first ; F. Bishop again securing second honours ;
C. Johnson beaten off.
Walking Match of Three Miles.—This affair, which had
been expected would prove a first-rate contest, ended in
an easy victory for W. W. Rainsford; R. Smith was
second, and E. Ryder was third. John Goulding, by
special desire, acted as referee.
Open Race of 250 Yards.—This proved one of the best
races ever witnessed, for T. Wade came in first by a foot
between T. Tilbury, who was second, and only half a
yard behind was R. Shepherd for third ; not a yard divid-
ing the first three.
The latter race most appropriately wound up a good
afternoon's sport, and the company retired highly grati-
fied at the whole of the proceedings.

The Next Cotton Crop.

In the March number of De Bow's Review, the
editor, who has just completed a tour through the
cotton states, estimates the next cotton crop at not
more than one million five hundred thousand bales.

Ile adds :—" These figures are not likely to be in-
creased by anything that is now to happen, and
may be greatly reduced by the ignorance, neglect,
or desertion of the labouring forces, which,
judging from the experience of all other coun-
tries, is more likely to occur than not, and re-
duce the crop to one million or one million two
hundred thousand bales. No account is taken in
the calculation of the application of white labour
to cotton beyond what was applied to it before the
war. The extensive mortality of the war has made
white labour at the South very scarce, and so far it
is absorbed in the necessary pursuits of the mechanic
arts and trade, which have been furnishing most
lucrative employment. The wear and tear and

frightful destruction caused by the war opened
other channels of employment besides agriculture.
The increase of white labour at the South, so far
as the next crop is concerned, from immigration, is
too trifling to be taken into account. The aggre-
gate number of labourers introduced is insignifi-
cant, and so far is largely absorbed in the cities.
It is only fair to add that other estimates place the
next cotton crop at from two to two and a half
millions of bales. •

The postponement of the vote of £116,000 for the Patent-
office was moved by Mr. BOVILL, who complained of the
inadequate accommodation provided in the present office,
pointing out defects in its management, and maintaining
that the large surplus of fees paid by patentees should be
applied to putting the establishment on a more satisfactory
footing.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in defence of the vote,
stated that the present provision was merely temporary,
and no comprehensive plan for securing more complete ac-
commodation could bo settled until the general question of
the policy of a° Patent Laws had been considered and
determined.

After some discussion, the motion was withdrawn, and
the vote was agreed to.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved a
string of resolutions on the Crown Lands Acts, as a neces-
sary preliminary to the introduction of a bill for the better
management of the Land Revenues of the Crown. Among
other provisions he explained that the bill would transfer
the forestal Hells of the Crown over Epping Forest to the
Board of Works, would give the management of all fore-
shores to the Board of Trade, and would make provision
for the enjoyment of the estate of Claremont by the Queen
during her life or pleasure.
The resolutions were agreed to after a short conversa-
tion.

Several bills were forwarded a stage, and the house ad•
journed at five minutes past 1 o'clock.

Ocean Travel.

More than a thousand steam voyages across the
Atlantic will be made during the present year by
the vessels of fifteen different lines. This is mon;
than in any previous year. The well-directed en-.
terprise of steamship owners has reduced to n
minimum the perils and discomforts of ocean travel,
so that now it is little more than a pastime to cross
the Atlantic. The steamers now running between
England and the United States are generally
staunch and fast, ably commanded, and sufficiently
provided against disaster.
The regular and extra steamers now in the 13 er-
vice of the Cunard company will make 156 voyages
during the present year ; the Liman. line, 204 pan..
sages; the National Navigation Company's steam..
ers, 104 ; the Montreal Steamship Company's, 104 ;
the North German Lloyd's, 52 ; the Hamburg-
American Company's, 52 ; Guion and Company's,
52 ; London and New York line, 52 ; the French
Transatlantic line, 26 ; the New York and Havre,
line, 26 ; the Liverpool and Boston line, 52 ; the
London and Boston line, 52 ; the Anchor line, 34 ;
the British and American Steam Navigation Com-
pany's, 52 ; and the Baltimore and Liverpool line,
52. This list numbers 1,074 passages, or an ave-
rage of ten per week ; a striking illustration of the
rapid growth of commercial intercourse between
Europe and America, as well as the travelling
patronage received from each.

VICTORIA UNITED CLUB AT BOW.

On Saturday last the Prince of Wales Grounds, Bow
was well attended by the members and the friends of the
above club, who held their athletic meeting—another so-
ciety founded upon the excellent establishment of the Satur-

lengthy one, but all was got through in admirable style.
Mr. Preston was the judge, Mr. Matthews the starter, who
were aides most efficiently by John Goulding, the manager

Race of 100 Yards.—F. Bishop, jun., won very easily
before J. G. Le Grys, who was second..

and coming in first by 30 yards, F. Richards second, and
R. Hardy third.
High Jump.—For this there were three competitors, each
being allowed three "tries." E. Matthews won by clearing
4ft gin; J. Le Grys was second, with 4ft Gin.
Throwing the Cricket Ball.—The competitors were con-
fined to two throws each, and much excitement was caused,
the Bow Grounds being well adapted for witnessing such
displays. Jeffcoate won by throwing 83 yards 1 foot ;
Hardy second, 82 yards 1 foot, only a yard behind.
Quarter of a Mile Race.--Five started, when an excel-
lent contest ended in F. Richards breasting the tape first,
F. Bishop being second.
Race of 200 Yards.—This also fell to F. Richards, who
came in first ; F. Bishop again securing second honours ;
C. Johnson beaten off.

Walking Match of Three Miles.—This affair, which had
been expected would prove a first-rate contest, ended in
an easy victory for W. W. Rainsford ; R. Smith was
second, and E. Ryder was third. John Goulding, by
special desire, acted as referee.
Open Race of 250 Yards.—This proved one of the best
races ever witnessed, for T. Wade came in first by a foot
between T. Tilbury, who was second, and only half a
yard behind was R. Shepherd for third ; not a yard divid-
ing the first three.
The latter race most appropriately wound up a good
afternoon's sport, and the company retired highly grati-
fied at the whole of the proceedings.

THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

TIMES.—As far as words go, nothing can be more
bitter than the quarrel between Prussia and Austria.
If such correspondence passed between any other
two States, the world might resign itself to witness-
ing an appeal to arms. It is plain that of the two
Governments one is incensed against the other in
the highest degree, while the latter in its turn has
not scrupled to provoke and irritate its adversary.

The Prince Von Teck.

His Highness the Prince von Teck, whose ap-
proaching marriage to the Princess Mary of Cam-
bridge we annnounced yesterday, is the only son
of his Royal Highness the Duke Alexander of
Wurtemberg (uncle of the late King William of
Wurtemberg), who was married morganatically on
May 2, 1835, to the late Claudine Countess of
Hohenstein, Countess of Kis-Rhede. The Duke
Alexander is a general of cavalry in the Austrian
service, and proprietor of the 11th Regiment of
Austrian Hussars. Prince Francis Paul Charles
Louis Alexander, who is about to become allied to
the Princess Mary, was born on August 27, 1837,
and is consequently in his 29th year. His highness
has two sisters, the Princess Claudine, one year his
senior; and the Countess Amelia von Hohenstein,
who was married at Vienna, in 1863, to Paul, Baron
von Hugel, a retired captain of cavalry.
Formerly the eldest son and daughter of the Duke
Alexander of Wurtemberg were styled Count and
Countess of Hohenstein, but by a Royal decree,
dated Dec. 1, 1863, they were raised to the dignity
of prince and princess, with the title of highness.

Their Royal and Imperial Highnesses the Duke
and Duchess Philip of Wurtemberg, attended by the
Countess von Auersperg and Count Gronsfeld have left the
Clarendon Hotel for the Continent.

MEETING OP LIBERALS.

THIS DAY.

A very numerous meeting of the supporters of
the Government in the House of Commons was
held this day, at the residence of the Premier, Earl
Russell.

The subject discussed was the amendment of Earl
Grosvenor to the motion for the second reading of
the Franchise Bill on Thursday next.
-The meeting was of a private nature ; but we be-
lieve we may say that the Government feel certain
of a majority whenever the division takes place.
The debate in the House of Commons is fully

The Coal Fields of America.

By direction of Earl RUSSELL, reports have been
made by our Secretaries of Legation concerning coal
in foreign countries, and a body of information of
high commercial value has thus been collected and
published as a blue-book. The most remarkable of
these reports has reference to the United States,
and perhaps our conception of the possible future
of that country cannot be formed upon any more
certain basis than is afforded by the enormous
extent of its coal-producing area. The area of
bituminous coalin Great Britain it is 8,139 sunnre
miles ; in British America it is 18,000 miles ; and
in the United States it is 133,132 miles. If the
amount of workalA coal in Belgium be taken at 1,
that of the British Islands becomes rather more
than 5, that of all Europe 8/, and that of North
America 111. According to another calculation
the total quantity of workable coal in Great Britain
is estimated at 190,000,000 tons, and the total
quantity in North America at 4,000,000,000,000
tons. An American writer states that a seam of
coal near Pittsburg is worth " a sum equal to the
"payment of the national debt nearly 27 times, and
" equal to the gold and silver products of California
" and Nevada for nearly 1000 years ;" and this
seam of coal was purchased by the PENN family, 100
years ago, for 10,000 dollars. Nearly all American
coal is of excellent quality, and it is said that when
the Cunard and Collins steamers competed a few
years ago in speed, the Cunard, which were Eng-
lish ships, surpassed their opponents by using
American coal.

The civic State banquet which is usually given
on Easter Monday, but which this year was for
special reasons postponed, was held last evening,
when the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress enter-

The banquet was served in the Egyptian-hall,

The fine hall having been recently redecorated, and
the table, being tastefully ornamented with plants

LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 1866.

Nothing of much consequence took place in the
House last night, but various subjects were briefly
discussed. It was a satisfaction to all parties that
the Speaker was able again to make his appearance
after his recent severe illness ; the right hon.
gentleman made a few remarks, thanking the House
for the consideration he had received during his
retirement, and expressing a hope that he should
now be able to pursue his customary duties. The
respect and esteem in which the Speaker is held has
been fully proved since the commencement of this
session, and the right hon. gentleman declared last
night that he felt bound to the House by new
ties of gratitude
and duty
of the in consequence
kindness he had received. It is
always an advantage when such good terms
exist between the head of a representative assembly
and its members, and it must tend to facilitate the
transaction of public business, and render its cause
more agreeable and effectual.
G. GREY in-
formed the house, in answer to a
cihu.estion, that
the " temporary provisions,"
those W
the slaughter of cattle which were to expireL on the
eh affected
15th of April, would continue inoperation
until
10th of May. This is as well, because the the
decrease in the cattle plague which has beengroebat
ob-
servable lately may, in all probability, be traced in
a great measure to the stringent Legulations
which have been made. It is a proof at much
might have been done to abate the disease had the
recommendations of the Royal Commissioners been
carried out in the autumn as was advocated by
many. The hesitation which the Government exhi-
bited, and the many delays which they interposed,
have been productive of great evil, and a warning
has certainly been given to all future Administra-
tions to deal more promptly and decidedly with such
a calamity when it unhappily occurs.

L Third Seat.— Barrington, 4, wo a qicadid race by half

Tho annual meeting of the Huntingdonshire County
Club was held on Wednesday. The accounts for the past
year year showed that a small balance remained in hand.
The Earl of Sandwich was re-elected president ; the Rev.
F. G. Vesey, vice-president; Mr. W. Foreman, treasurer;
and Mr. W. Scotnoy, secretary.
The only change in the ground bowlers at Lord's from
last season will, wo believe, be Scottoun, the Notts colt,
vice J. Oscroft. The celebrated brass band of the 3d Essex
Artillery will play during the sports.
The match of Cambridge University v. The Players is
to bo played at Cambridge on the 27th inst., &c., for the
benefit of J. Muncey, the empire.
J. C. Straw.—This successful left-arm Notts bowler
(who woke up one morning last season and found himself
famous) will, we believe, play as an All-England Eleven
man this season.
W. MLDIE.—We are informed that this player's engage-
ment as ground bowler at The Oval has, by mutual agree-
ment, been cancelled, and that Mudie will be open to
engagements to umpire throughout the season.
Lonn's GROUND.—Tho improvement effected in the ap-
pearance of the turf at this old cricket battle field by recent
alterations, must be seen to be believed. The hill at the
top is reduced a foot at least ; ruts are things of the past ;
and the careful practical form in which the general levelling
of the whole has been done (doubtless materially aided by
one of the most favourable seasons for cricket-ground
culturing ever known) has made the old turf look quite
another affair altogether. The herbage has never before
been so thick all over at Lord's, and when it has been judi-
ciously and thoroughly rolled—as it will be—he must be a
sour-hearted critic indeed that will find fault with either
the wicket or the fielding portion of Lord's Ground.

Ocean Travel.

More than a thousand steam voyages across the
Atlantic will be made during the present year by
the vessels of fifteen different lines. This is more
than in any previous year. The well-directed en-
terprise of steamship owners has reduced to a
minimum the perils and discomforts of ocean travel,
so that now it is little more than a pastime to cross
the Atlantic. The steamers now running between
England and the United States are generally
staunch and fast, ably commanded, and sufficiently
provided against disaster.
The regular and extra steamers now in the ser-
vice of the Canard company will make 156 voyages
during the present year ; the Inman line, 204 pas-
sages; the National Navigation Company's steam-
ers, 104; the Montreal Steamship Company's, 104 ;
the North German Lloyd's, 52 ; the Hamburg-
American Company's, 52 ; Guion and Company's,
52 ; London and New York line, 52 ; the French
Transatlantic line, 26 ; the New York and llavre
line, 26 ; the Liverpool and Boston line, 52 ; the
London and Boston line, 52 ; the Anchor line, 34 ;
the British and American Steam Navigation Com-
pany's, 52 ; and the Baltimore and Liverpool line,
52. This list numbers 1,074 passages, or an ave-
rage of ten per week ; a striking illustration of the
rapid growth of commercial intercourse between
Europe and America, as well as the travelling
patronage received from each.

but pander to the passions he had stimulated. There
was absolutely no choice. It was as in the old
rationale of possession. Faust had sold himself, and
was no longer a free agent. The compact with the
master of his doom was made when from the Trea-
sury Bench he suggested, however vaguely, the
necessity of agitating. And though we are by no
means ready to acquiesce in the moral account
which is given of possession, yet we recognise in
modern men and things the old facts. Men were of
old thought to be given over to the Evil One, only
because there was no reasonable explanation to be
given of their actions. Something of this sort seems
to have happened to Mr. Gladstone. There is no
accounting for him. It may be inspiration, of
course, as well as possession. Perhaps it is only
because it suits our natural hardness of heart that
we most readily assume in Mr. Gladstone's case the
agency of the goblin damned than of the spirit of
1-leaven. Mr Bright is more suggestive, it may be,
I in one direction than in the other. But whatever, the
