MALTON,

Little Treasure, The Lion, and Mushroom have gone to
Lincoln, and you must judge of their Liverpool chances
by their running there, also that of Skylark and Verity.
None of John Scott's are doing any particular amount of
work, West wick and Klarinska being the most active.
The yearlings are all getting very forward.

RICLIMOND.

Lozenge galloped two miles this morning, and ought to
be forward for the Liverpool Cup. Elliot gave Zenobia a
mile and three-quarters gallop.

FYFIELD.

Bradamante has done no work worth speaking of since
her return from Newmarket, nor Pepper's Ghost either;
and Savernake continues an absentee, like Adam Bede,
Dulcimer: and Staghound. Nimble, Dragoon, and Pussy
are merely cantering. Pintail, Overtonian,Bugler, Over-
ture, and Countess Amy galloped a mile and a half.

LEWES.

Acttea, is doing first class work for the Liverpool Cup,
and must run into a place, for she is improving daily
This morning she galloped two miles beautifully. Alice
and Miss Fanny wore walking, but Haidee, Fonder,
Ostregor, Marlborough, Thermometer, and others cantered
freely.

NEWMARKET.

Joseph Dawson gave Friday, Othello, and Miss Harriette
a rare good gallop of two miles, this morning, and Jollity
went a like distance. Peter Prico gave his Liverpool Cup
horses a mile and a half spin, fast. Goodwin was paying
strict attention to Nu, and the mare went a mile and
three-parters smartly. The Squire was in fair work.

LITTLETON.

Salpinctes is progressing as satisfactorily as any animal
in the world can possibly do, and this morning did a mile
and three-quarters in superb form. Proserpina took
matters more quietly.

• WOODYEATES.
To-day Mail Train and the Special galloped two miles,
and no animals could look or go better.

accompanied with their suite, to the Avenue Dau-
mesnil to visit the new cite-ouvriere, or working
man's improved lodging-house. Their Majesties
were received by the architect and builder, and re-
mained nearly an hour in visiting the establish-
ment. On leaving they were greeted with loud
cries of " Vive l'Empereur !" " Vive l'lmp6ratice !"
by the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, all belong-
ing to the working classes, and who had sponta-
neously assembled in front of the building.
Mgr. Isoard, Auditor of the Roman Rota, has
been received at a private audience by the Emperor

Mr. Eyre at Southampton.

The following address is now obtaining signatures
in Southampton :—" To his Excellency Edward
John Eyre, late Governor of Jamaica,—We, the
undersigned, mayor, magistrates, clergy, aldermen,
councillors, merchants, and other inhabitants of the
town and neighbourhood of Southampton, desire
most heartily to welcome you to your native land,
and warmly to express the deep sympathy we enter-
tain towards you after the severe and trying circum-
stances by which you have been so long surrounded.
We, in common with a large portion of your fellow-
countrymen, are impressed with the conviction that
by your firmness and determination, joined by that
prompt action which alone makes a man in autho-
rity equal to the occasion, you saved an important
British colony, protected the lives and property of
the loyal colonists, and saved Jamaica from an
ordeal the memory of which no time would have
effaced. We cannot but regret that, dependent as
you were for the execution of the intricate and deli-
cate duties devolVing upon so many parties, on
whom you were compelled to rely, some cire,um-
stances occurred that all men must deplore, but the
sudden and horrible commencement of the outbreak
proved too exciting for men of lesser judgment and
experience than yourself, and excesses were, no
doubt, committed that have been brought to bear
unfavourably. upon you ; but no one competent to
judge believes that you were actuated by other than
the most honourable and praiseworthy intentions,
by a devoted loyalty to your Sovereign and coun-
try, as well as a fixed determination to preserve
Jamaicafrom the horrors of a second Saint Domingo
We have an unabated confidence in your integrity,
your honour, and your public spirit ; we feel that
you have been sacrificed to circumstances, as many
a great man has been before ; but your fellow-
countrymen appreciate you—sympathise with you
—and will in every part of England honour you,
not only in your retirement, but look anxiously for
your return to a position of public usefulness for
which you are, in so many respects, pre-eminently
fitted. We rejoice to be the first to welcome you,
with this testimony of public opinion, to offer a
respectful and warm-hearted welcome to Mrs. Eyre
and to your children, expressing an anxious and
earnest hope that, once more in England with your
family and your friends, you may speedily be
restored to the blessing of health, and be cheered
by the assurance of the respect, the attachment,
and the confidence of all classes of your fellow-
countrymen,

EARLY CLOSING ON SATURDAYS.—It will be in
the recollection of our readers that at a meeting of
ladies held about a month since at Stafford-house, on the
invitation of the Duchess of Sutherland, it was decided to
make an effort to obtain a weekly half-holiday for those
employed in the retail establishments of London, particu-
larly at the West-end. The linendrapers' and mercers'
trades were selected for the prima►y experiments, and, after
hearing the arguments adduced in favour of such a course,
34 of the leading houses agreed to make the essay by
closing their business at 2 o'clock on Saturday. So far the
experiment, we believe, has proved satisfactory, and 38
other houses in various retail trades have adopted the same
course, while a large number of smaller houses have deter-
mined to close at 5 or 6 o'clock on Saturday.

PIRACY IN TAE CHINESE SEAS.—A young
officer of a merchant vessel lying at Hong-Kong writes in
a letter dated June sth :—" The pirates are still doing
their work here. A little Danish brig has been boarded,
all her guns, compasses, and so forth, taken from her, and
her crow very politely informed that had they been Eng-
lishmen they would have been all killed. A short time
since an English barque, commanded by a Capt. Thomas,
a west countryman, was boarded. Sho was manned by a
Malay crew, who stood their ground like bricks until or-
dered below out of the way of the stink pots that those fol-
lows always heave on board. On going down aft one of
the Chinamen discovered the captain stowed away. Capt.

Thomas directly came out with his pistol and shot at tlie
Chinaman. The fellow collared the captain, and some
more coming down they dragged him on deck, and put-
ting his head on the rail were about to cut it off for him,
when the man at whom ho had shot saved his life. They
then took all they wanted and left the vessel. Now, you
may perhaps think this fiction, but I can assure you it is a
positive fact. .1 have seen the man myself ; Ile has been
on board here. He has the mark on Iris neck where the
sword rested. Many of these little affairs take place not
20 miles from Hong-Kong, and dozens of gunboats are
ying in the harbour all the time doing nothing."
HUDSON'S BAY COMpANY.—The claims of this
company to three-fourths of British America, containing
the only prairie land, should be submitted to the Privy
Council for decision. Whatever rights they have to Hud-
son's Bay, Canada, the public say they have none to the
districts between British Columbia and Canada. A motion
was lately made in Congress to offer them $10,000,000 for
their Reccßiver district, but to this they had nolegal right.
A committee of the House of Commons sat some years ago
on this question, but the result of their labours is not
known. The country should be opened up to settlement
in now colonies under the Crown.
