MDLLE. THERESA, TIIE POPULAR OPEN-AIR SINGER
OF PARlS.—According to the Temps, the following tempt-
ing offer has been made by M. Paul Dupont, the manager
of the Alcazar, of Marseilles, to Mdlle. Theresa, the now
celebrated diva of Paris :-20,000f. (£800) for her services
for one month, or £4O per night, travelling and hotel ex-
penses in the first hotel in Marseilles to be paid ; a carriage
and pair, with livery servants, during her stay ; illumina-
tions in the hotel on the evening of her arrival ; a sere-
nade with torches ; an official reception at the railway ter-
minus and grand saloon of the hotel by the manager and
staff of the Marseilles Alcazar ; an entry into the city in
a caleche drawn by four horses, which will be announced
beforehand by special quiches ; a grand dinner the day after
her arrival ; the Alcazar to be brilliantly illuminated and
decorated during her stay, and 200 seats to be reserved for
the elite of Marseillaise society. Tempting as this offer
is, Mdlle. Theresa has declined it, and the Temps asks,
" What more does she require—a salvo of 21 guns, the
National Guard drawn up to receive her, and the keys of
the city presented to her on a silver dish ?"
""FIRR AT THE OLD JUSTICE TAVERN, SOUTHWARK.
—These premises took fire this morning about 4 o'clock,
when the inmates were in bed, and Mr. Barnes (the land-
lord) succeeded in saving his infant, and the escape-
men afterwards rescued Mrs. Barnes and a female servant
and barman, who had been nearly stifled by the smoke.
The lower portion of the house, which was almost entirely
destroyed, contained a valuable collection of pictures,
vases of artificial flowers, aquariums with gold and silver
fish, &c., and the loss must be considerable. A fire took
place also at a, glass merchant's in Church street, Edgware-
road, but was confined to the shop.
The amount of gold taken into the bullion
department of the Bank of England yesterday was
£6,000.

BROMPTON.

"'Several minor contests "were decided at theWestLondon
Cricket Ground on Saturday last, in the presence of about
200 spectators. Only two events, however, call for men-
tion, namely :
W. ELKINS AND R. BOBBINS.--They had a run a quarter
of a mile for £lO. F. Rogers, the well-known handicapper,
started them, and was also referee, the course being just
the distance, 440 yards round. Elkins, upon whom the
betting was 5 and 6 to 4, justified the odds by jumping off
with the lead, was never caught, and won easily by eight
yards. Both are _Lambeth boys.
E. TORR AND W. CRAVEN.—This was also a quarter of a
mile race for £lO, and proved a most exciting struggle, fo
Torr, upon whom the betting left off at 6 to 4, dashed off
with the lead, which he held up to 150 yards of home.
Here a fine struggle took place, when Craven collared
his man. It was a splendid contest, nearly shoulder to
shoulder, when Craven got in front, and eventually won a
good race by nearly five yards. Mr. E. Jones, the proprie-
tor, was referee.
There was a good deal of Saturday afternoon practice by
the different athletic clubs.
London, England, 1866-03-27

BOW.

There were about 300 visitors to the Prince of Wales
Ground on Saturday last, to witness the sport, the match
of most importance being the ono between
J. OWERS, OF BRADFORD, AND J. HITXTABLE, OF DEFT-
FORD.—These men had to run 130 yards for £lO, Owers
receiving a start of three yards. The start took place as
early as 4 o'clock, to enable all parties to be in time at the
" Witk" to witness the race between Bailey and Austin,
and punctually to time they toed their respective marks ;
Mr. H. A. Reed acted as referee, and the betting was 5 to
4on Huxtable, which odds in the end were ipset. Owers
gained a trifle further advantage in getting off, after a
dozen false starts, and at half the distance Huxtable seemed
to be gaining slightly upon his man, but Owers kept the
lead to the finish, and won by nearly the three yards
given.
WALKING MATCH AGAINST TlME.—Previous to the above
Joe Stockwell walked an off-hand match; he undertook,
although out of condition, to walk seven miles in the hour,
for £lO. Mr. H. Woodstock was timekeeper and referee.
Stockwell went off in his well-known and excellent style,
and up to five miles it appeared that his task would prove
a very easy one ; for at that distance he wes well ahead of
the scythebearer. Here his want of good fettle began to
tell, and the betting, which had been any odds in his fa-
vour, changed. He struggled on most gamely, however,
under difficulties, and was loudly cheered as he passed the
goal in front of time by 48 seconds. He walked most un-
deniably fair throughout.

The Funeral of King Leopold.
---0-

A bill has just been presented to the Belgian
Chamber of Representatives for opening a credit to
pay the cost of the funeral of Leopold I. and the
installation, of his successor. The items for which
sums are due are the following :—" Construction of
a 'temporary church at Laeken, and opening and
closing of the tomb, 121,965 f. ; funeral car, 49,129 f.;
repairs of the road for the passage of the car,
10,484 f. ; decoration of the avenue and bridge of
Laeken and Places des Martyr, 14,020 f. ; toll for
the paSsage of the procession in the Rue des Pelvis,
2,000 f. ; works for the restoration of the chapel,
paving, &c., 42,072 f. ; purchase of historical docu-
ments and subscriptions to different narratives of
the funeral, 8,534 f. ; expenses of the inauguration
of Leopold 11., 20,993 f. ; sundries, 14,956 francs
—total, 275,753 francs." The item of 8,534 francs
for historical documents, &c., requires some expla-
nation. In the absence of all precedent of royal
interments in Belgium, the authorities were obliged
to procure from abroad, principally from France
and Holland, engravings and albums relative to the
funerals of Louis XVIII. and William 11. Those
documents will now be deposited in the library of
the Chamber. As to the narratives of the ceremony,
a collection was made of all the accounts published
in the journals, not only of Belgium, but of foreign
countries, including America also, with the principal
articles on the late King and notices of his life.
Lastly, among the expenses incurred for the in-
auguration of Leopold 11. was the cost of two
magnificently bound volumes of parchment, richly
ornamented, and containing a report of the Royal
sitting of inauguration, at the bottom of which all
the members of the Chamber of Deputies and of the
Senate affixed their signatures after that of the
King. One of those volumes will be deposited in
the library of the King, and the other in that of the
Chamber of Representatives.

LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 1866.

Last night a meeting was held at Birmingham
to consider the Government Reform Bill. Some
resolutions were passed, which urged upon the
borough members to support the measure ; but the
chief feature of the evening was a letter sent by
Mr. BRIGHT, which was read. This communication
was written much in the usual style of Mr. BRIGHT'S
speeches and writings, and, according to his wont,
he abuses every one right and left who does not
exactly agree with him. It is really very much to
be regretted that the hon. member for Birmingham
should persist in taking this tone whenever he
speaks of the working classes, because it misleads
many who believe that he is their true exponent, as
he calls himself so on all occasions. Unbecoming
as it is for a member of Parliament to be for ever
hinting at the likelihood of revolutions taking
place, and sometimes asserting the advantages that
might be derived from an angry demonstration
here and there, it is still more inconsistent that
those to whom he refers should be so grossly mis-
represented and maligned. He takes away at a
sweep the best arguments that can be used for the '
extension of the franchise by making out that the
working classes aro violent and unruly. It is
precisely because they believe them to be
exactly the contrary to what 'XL BRIGHT
describes them that real Reformers consider
that they can and ought to be trusted, to a great
extent, and far more considerably admitted to the
franchise than they are at present. But if it is to
be
set forth that unless they immediately are put in
P°s'ae'A.oll of all they desire they will proceed to
extremititN •

countrymen would learn to be civil if they did not

who makes it his constant boast that he has sat
for twenty-two years in the House of Commons
does not show that he has profited more by his
opposition votes. While he considers himself quali-
fied to teach our senators wisdom, and instruct our
Ministers to make laws, he is inciting the people to
break the laws already made, and violate the due re-
gulations of public order and propriety. We do not
for a moment believe that any one would be so
mad as to adopt the course he indicates if be does

as not to be distinguished fro n the originals by the closest
observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will
be fbunri superior to any teeth ever before used. This
method does not require the extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
in mastication.

"'Several minor contests were decided at theWestLondon
Cricket Ground on Saturday last, in the presence of about
200 spectators. Only two events; however, call for men-
tion, namely :
W. ELKINS AND R. ROBB=S.—They had a run a quarter
of a mile for £lO. F. Rogers, the well-known handicapper,
started them, and was also referee, the course being just
the distance, 440 yards round. Elkins, upon whom the
betting was 5 and 6 to 4, justified the odds by jumping off
with the lead, was never caught, and won easily by eight
yards. Both are Lambeth boys.
E. TORE AND W. CRAVEN.—This was also a quarter of a
mile race for £lO, and proved a most exciting struggle, fo
Torr, upon whom the betting left of at 6 to 4, dashed off
with the lead, which he held up to 150 yards of home.
Here a fine struggle took place, when Craven collared
his man. It was a splendid contest, nearly shoulder to
shoulder, when Craven got in front, and eventually won a
good rdee by nearly five yards. Mr. E. Jones, the proprie-
tor, was referee.
There was a good deal of Saturday afternoon practice by
the different athletic clubs.

BOW.

There were about 300 visitors to the Prince of Wales
Ground on Saturday last, to witness the sports the match
of most importance being the ono between
J. OWERS, OF BRADFOBD, AND J. HUXTABLE, OF DEFT-
FORD.—These men had to run 130 yards for £lO, Owers
receiving a start of three yards. The start took place as
early as 4 o'clock, to enable all parties to be in time at the
" Wisk" to witness the race between Bailey and Austin,
and punctually to time they toed their respective marks ;
Mr. H. A. Reed acted as referee, and the betting was 5 to
4on Huxtable, which odds in the end were upset. Owers
gained a trifle further advantage in getting off, after a
dozen false starts, and at half the distancelluxtable seemed
to be gaining slightly upon his man, but Owers kept the
lead to the finish, and won by nearly the three yards
given.
WALKING MATCH AGAINST TlME.—Previous to the above
Joe Stockwell walked an off-hand match ; he undertook,
although out of condition, to walk seven miles in the hour,
for £lO. Mr. H. Woodstock was timekeeper and referee.
Stockwell went off in his well-known and excellent style,
and up to five miles it appeared that his task would prove
a very easy one ; for at that distance he wes well ahead of
the scythebearer. Here his want of good fettle began to
tell, and the betting, which had been any odds in his fa-
vour, changed. He struggled on most gamely, however,
under difficulties, and was loudly cheered as he passed the
goal in front of time by 48 seconds. Ho walked most un-
deniably fair throughout.

PEDESTRIANISM.

HACKNEY-WICK.

The unfavourable state of the weather on Saturday
afternoon last, at Mr. Baum's, as well as the other metro-
politan grounds, caused but a limited attendance, but the
sports were excellent in character, the principal event at
the " Wick" being the race between
W. BAILEY, OF DEPTFORD, AND ALEC AUSTIN, OF
WooLwlcli.—The conditions were for Austin, who is the
much lesser man (about sft. 3in.) to receive 30 yards start
in half a mile, the stake being for £25 a-side. There was
much time lost in measuring and re-measuring the ground,
when at last Mr. W. Price settled the knotty question, and
the men appeared at their marks, Huxtablo attending upon
Bailey (who is nearly sft. Bin.), Stiles of Chatham on Aus-
tin, while Mr. H. Woodstock performed the duties of both
starter and referee. As they started just at the bend for
the straight run for home, they had to pass the latter
functionary four times, the winner having to run three laps
and just 180 yards to complete the distance. There was
no betting, for it was very manifest that Austin was suf-
fering, and in fact -only just recovering from a severe at-
tack of quinsey. He, however, ran most gamely, if any-
thing, in the first lap, increased his lead a trifle, when the
long stride and superior condition of Bailey began to tell,
for he was seen gradually to creep in, and caught Austin
at the pagoda at the last round; Austin made a game
struggle, but of no avail, and was compelled to stop '2O
yards from home. It would have been a good race, if the
latter had been well. Bailey accomplished the distance
in 2 min. 11 sec. (upon whom 4 to 1 had been offered)
over heavy ground.

MONTANA.

The Galena Gazette., of thel9tiiDec., has the following
in relation to the Uncle Sam lode :—lt will be remembered
that we recently published a statement from the Montana
Post relative to a great gold discovery lately made near
Helena, Montana Territory. The account says the new dis-
covery is an immense ledge of almost solid gold, which glitters
before the bewildered vision of the beholder. Mr. C. E.
Duer, formerly of this city, writes to his friends here that
the story of this great discovery is no humbug. He has
seen some of the gold from this lode, and says it is remark-
ably pure. It is certainly the greatest discovery of gold
ever yet made.
A Colorado paper says that in the banking house of
Warren Hussey, a lot of specimens from Last Chance,
Montana, are on exhibition. They are the richest speci-
mens ever produced from the mineral kingdom. Lumps o f
quartz, over one-half of whose weight was made up of
pure gold, which stuck outin great spurs all over the sur-
face, many of these spurs being as large as a man's finger.
The lode from which the quartz came is opened only to a
depth of 16 feet, and these rich specimens exist in pockets
in the crevices, which average six feet in width. The
poorest ores of the lode yield $5OO per ton in gold, treated
with the arastra. Much of the ore yields largely in silver.
MINERAL WEALTH ON OUR WESTERN BORDER. —Few
have yet begun to realise the extent of the 12 States and
territories on our Western Borders, whose vast store
of mineral wealth are yet to attract teeming multitudes to
them. California has 158,685 square miles, containing
101,659,680 acres; Dacotah, 148,832 square miles-
-95,316,480 acres ; Nevada, 81,539 square miles-52,184,960
acres ; Colorado, 104,500 square miles— 66,880,000 acres ;
New Mexico, 121,201 square miles —78,568,610 acres ; Ari-
zona, 126,141 square miles-80,730,140 acres; Utah,106,382
square miles-68,074,480 acres; Oregon, 84,248 square
miles-60,958,720 acres ; Idaho, 326,375 square miles-
-208,878,726 acres ; Nebraska, 75,955 square miles-
-44,796,160 acres ; Washington, 69,994 square miles
48,636,800 acres; Kansas, 81,318 square miles-53,043,550
acres ; making a total of 1,495,310 square miles
957,720,400 acres, of which only 61,738,546 acres have been

disposed of. Idaho alone will make five States as large as
Pennsylvannia or New York.
Works are erecting at Golden City, Colorado, for the
manufacture of railroad bars. Extensive mines of iron ore
have been discovered there, which will be worked by
eastern capitalists, and promise to yield great wealth to the
new State.

Tennessee is showing up great mineral wealth. Near
Cleveland is the largest copper mine in the world. Iron
ore, tin, coal, marble, rock crystal, gypsum, paints, salts,
and nitrous earths, abound in the eastern section of the
State. Gold has been found near the Georgia line. The
whole section of country along the Nashville and Chatta-
nooga Railroad exhibits unmistakable evidences of petro-
leum. A flowing well has been struck near Tullahoma.
