MARLBOROUGH.

Savernake was despatched in a van to Newmar-
ket yesterday after our notes were transmitted from

Bunablekite and Stratheonan are at Newmarket
both are fit. This morning Zenubia and Moldavia,
in the big autumn handicaps, galloped a couple of
miles beautifully, led by Empress of India. Beatrice
took Plaudit and Rose a nice striding gallop ; and
El Cid pioneered Graciosa. The Admiral followed
hawk swell a mile, but Newland merely trotted, as
did Chatsworth. Lozenge, like Rounds, again was
merely walking. Louisa, Violet, Elvire, and othert4
galloped over three-quarters of a mile.

LAMBOURNE.
We have a very short team at Newmarket this
week, Mr. klerry's horses being too moderate, and
Mr. Graham keeping his for later events. Excel er
is not at work just now. Regalia and Chepstow
were eased a few days back, but are now pushing
along. The former galloped a mile and three
quarters steadily by herself this morning; and
Caithness did a mile and a half. Chepstow cantered
a mile twice, fast. Mirella is absent ; and Watch,
box walking again. Pluto and Marco Spada are
spinning along beautifully ; so are Beanstalk, Nor_
manby, and Ornament.

IL SLEY.

Lord Lyon and Achievement, despite the short
work they have done recently, have gone to New..
market with others of Mr. Sutton's, and several of
Mr. Ten Broeck's, Claymore, Fitzroy, Paris, Peon,
and Slender being amongst the American string ;
and it is very likely the latter will remain at head-
quarters for some time, as is customary with them
at the back cud of the year. All were looking well ;
but we fear for " the brother and sister" this essay.
This morning Jezabel and Grisette had a nice gal-
lop, after which the former led the yearlings their
ordinary work. Run and General went steadily.

It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic
service, and provides a home free of exoense for former
inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the
temptations they might otherwise be exposed to.
The Committee earnestly APPNA.I. for CoNTRIBU-
TIONS to meet the in,:reasi g applications through the

eventually to obtain premises more commensurate with the
necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000

who may perish by war.

Damascus :

It is semi-officially denied that General Schofield has
any political mission in Europe.

We New York Times states that the Mexican Cor-
respondence will bo submitted to Congress immediately,
and that Congress will be allowed to determine the policy
of the Government upon the Mexican question.
A rumour is current at Washington that France, Eng-
land, Spain, Italy, and Austria have formed an alliance to
keep Maximilian on the throne.
Intelligence from Vera Cruz to the 16th reports that the
French have reoccupied Chihuahua, and hold Piedras
Negras.
It is semi-officially denied that General Shofield has any
political mission in Europe.
The Australasian and City of Washington have arrived
out.

The rumour is again current at Washington that the
French Government has assured the United States that
the French will withdraw from Mexico, the Federal Go-
vernment giving an assurance that the United States would
not interfere with the Emperor Maximilian's occupancy of
the Mexican throne.
It is stated that Senator Wilson has had an interview with
President Johnson, in which he informed him that tho
Radical Republican party disapproved his reconstruction
policy, and would, not support him if he interfered with
Congressional legislation upon reconstruction. Mr. John-
son is represented to have expressed confidence in the pre-
sent and future success of his reconstruction policy, and
refused to give any assurance that he would refrain from
interference.

General Strong, who has returned from Texas, reports
fearful destitution amongst the black and white inhabi-
tants. Lawlessness and crime, as well as a spirit of seces-
sion and of hostility to the Government, prevails through-
out the interior.

The Governor of North Carolina has assumed office, and
assured Mr. Johnston of his hearty co-operation in re-
storing harmonious relations with the Federal Govern-

ment.

The New York Times asserts that the correspondence
with Franco regarding Mexico will be laid before Congress
as soon as it assembles. It is represented that the cor-
respondence will show that the Government has at no
time had any purpose or thought of abandoning the
Munroe doctrine. It has pursued the course which
seemed most likely to secure the practical establishment
of that policy, and at the same time save the country from
the expense of another war. The whole matter, concludes
the New York Times, will now be submitted for Con-
gressional action, and if Congress sees fit to insist upon a
more hasty solution of the problem at the cost of war, no
obstacle will be placed in its way.

VICTORIA STATION AND PIMLICO.

The directors of this company, in their report,
congratulate the proprietors on the stability and_
prosperity of the undertaking. The purchase-money
of the house No. 1, St. George's-road, Pimlico, had
been paid, with interest accrued and other charges,
by the London, Chatham, and Dover Company to
this company's credit. The rent of the line and
station continued to be paid with regularity by the
three companies. The revenue account showed a
balance of £8,947, admitting of the same dividend
as last half-year—viz., 3-1- per cent., or at the rate
of 61 per cent. per annum for the year 1865. During
the current year the receipts would provide a divi-
dend of 71 per cent., and in 1867 the dividend
would reach its maximum of 9 and a fraction per
cent. The capital account showed that £495,383
had been received, and £481,426 expended, leaving
a balance of £13,957. The revenue account for the
half-year ending the 31st of December showed that
the rents and transfer fees amounted to £14,064,
the balance from the preceding account to £1,433,
and a balance for general interest account to £240,
making together £15,497. From this was deducted
£3,103 for interest on debentures, £2,925 for divi-
dend on 4k per cent. preference shares, and £590
for expenses, making £6,618, leaving a balance of
£9,119.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 10, 186 G.

-----,lp.-

The Conservatives have put forwarder very for-
midable candidate for the borough of Tiverton, in
the person of Sir JOHN HAY, who has started on
his canvas with fair prospect of success. We should
certainly be very glad to see the hon. baronet once
more in the House, although it will be an evil day
for the idlers and spendthrifts of the Admiralty
when they see him there. Sir JOHN HAY has already
done the country good service both afloat and
ashore, and his strictures on the mismanagement so
frequently lamentably perceptible in our naval
affairs have often done effectual good. It is very
awkward to deal with a censor who knows your
business better than you do, and not less so in a
Parliamentary skirmish than elsewhere. In concert
with an efficient and independent colleague, Sir
JAMES ELPHINSTONE, Sir JOHN HAY kept a sharp
watch over official proceedings, and these two gen-
tlemen
were mainly instrumental in carrying the
reform in the dock arrangements at Malta. The
Government refused to believe in the superiority of
the French Creek, and, on the plea of some entangle-
ment with the Maltese Government, they were
apparently determined to spend the public
money in constructing an elaborate dock in the
wrong place, in a position which was naturally
inferior, and two miles from the scene of action. A
naval officer having brought forward a motion
respecting the Malta dock, Sir JOHN HAY and Sir
JAMES ELPHINSTONE supported it strenuously, and
finally the representations induced the Duke of
SOMERSET to visit Malta himself during the summer
holidays, when the true state of the case became
immediately apparent, and the French Creek was
selected for the dock. Again, with regard to Cap-
tain Cous's turret ships, which have of late years
attracted so much attention. Sir J. HAY insisted
that the system was entitled to a fair trial, though
it was looked upon coldly at the Admiralty. In
other matters connected with our naval administra-
tion he has stood boldly forward, being always on
the side of economy and efficiency combined, neither
favouring a lavish expenditure of public money on
needless alterations, nor supporting a superficial
economy, which only looks to the fact of paying
out less money, without inquiring whether the work
be well done and the efficiency of the service pro- I

perly kept up.
As a naval reformer, then, Sir Joux HAN. has a
good claim on the suffrages of Tiverton, or, indeed,
of any borough in which there are taxpayers who
contribute to the millions expended annually on
our armaments, men of common sense who object
to seeing money lavishly spent on what is, after all,
not well done, and Englishmen who pride them-
selves on the naval power and influence of their

country. On general politics Sir JOHN HAY gave
his opinions freely and straightforwardly enough.
He is not a very hearty Reformer, although he ap-
proves of the lodger franchise as wise and prudent,
observing very justly that there are numbers of per-
sons of intelligence ad means living in clubs and
lodgings who Are now Premted from exerciiiing an

IMPERIAL MEXICAN.

The directors of this company in a special report
state their belief that the proposed transfer of the
contract for the works of the railway from Messrs.
Smith, Knight, and Co. to Mr. Crawley, the pre-
sent sub-contractor, would be o; advantage to the
company, especially as securing an uninterrupted
continuance of the works under the able superinten-
dence of Mr. W. Lloyd, the contractor's engineer
and representative in Mexico, and by the staff now
employed on them, subject to the inspection of the
company's engineers. They were prepared to recom-
mend that proposition to the shareholders at the
general meeting on the 16th inst., and also to take
their opinion on another matter respecting the issue
of debentures. By the company's financial plan
the sum of £2,700,000 was to be provided by the
issue of debentures. The board had reason to be-
lieve that means existed for the issue of those obli-
gations on the Continent, and negotiations had
been entered into with that view ; but it appeared
that by foreign law the share capital must be called
up in full before the company would be in a position
to issue obligations. If the company was at once
placed in a position to issue its debentures,the works
might progress with the same despatch as heretofore,
and in order to meet these circumstances the directors
proposed that they should be authorised at once to
make a call of £7 per share, on the understanding
that arrangements would be made to meet the conve-
nience of shareholders desiring to pay the call by
instalments. The sum of £84,000 was received on
the 9th of October last in respect of the subvention
bonds for £1,600,000, of which £1,200,000 pertained
to the company, and also further payments had been
.made on account of the 15 per cent. Customs' duties,
making the total amount of the Government con-
tributions to the share capital received in Mexico
up to the date of last advices £128,500, in exchange
for which the Government would receive an equiva-
lent number of shares in the company, untransfer-
able, in perpetuity. The total sum already paid by
the Imperial Government amounted to £212,500.

The first section of this railway—viz., from Pen-

Pencader is a station on the Carmarthen and Car-
digan Railway, which line at present is open for
traffic from the former place to Llandyssil, about
six miles beyond Pencader. The country is en-
tirely agricultural, but the line will form an impor-

ROBERTS (THE CHAMPION) AND W. DI7FTON.
The announced intention of Mr. Roberts being about to
visit America at the end of the present week, and that his
last match previous to departure would be with Mr. W.
Dufton at the St. James's Hall last evening, caused the
minor hall to be densely crowded, not alone to witness his
play, but also to give him a parting cheer. On Monday
evening he met Charles Hitchen at the Oval, at Kenning-
ton, and in giving 400 out of 1,000 Hitchen won, having
made up his score with the 400 given when Roberts had
only reached 826, although the latter in his number accom-
plished the finest break ever witnessed, 175, out of which
there were 23 spot hazards.

Yesterday W. Dufton and Roberts met, the latter allow-
ing his opponent 350 out of 1,000, and notwithstanding the
defeat of the Champion on the previous evening he was still
the favourite. The game was played on the fine table
erected by Burroughes and Watts, made of oak, instead of
mahogany, as is mostly the case. They slung for the cue,
which Roberts won, and as usual each gave a miss. Roberts
scored 16 to Dufton's 362 ; and when he had marked 100 to
403 (allowing for the 350 given) 10 to 2 was offered upon
the Champion. Roberts was 222 to 478, 303 to 531, and
401 to 558, with any odds upon him ; but when, on the ad-
journment for refreshments, Roberts was 500 to Dufton's
649 ; the latter had made no great breaks up to this time,
those of most note by Roberts being a 42, 44, and a 95.
On resuming play at half-past ten, Roberts had the balls.
Gradually, from 500 to 649, the champion gained on his
opponent, and made break after break, until Roberts passed
Dufton, and amidst loud cheers the game was called, the
champion 790 to 789. It was Roberts 855 to 857, 901 to
870, and 922 to Dufton's 876. When Roberts had scored
971 to Dufton's 921, the latter gradually drew up, and
came to 971 to 974. Dufton next went away, and was 992
to 975 ; ho was 981 to the champion's 976, and immense
excitement ensued ; 98 all in the last hundred was called.
An aggravating miss by Dufton gave Roberts the victory
the latter being 1,001 to 998.

Harry Evans called and marked the game in a most
creditable manner.

The health of Mr. Roberts was proposed, and good suc-
cess expressed for his voyage to America, and also to his
good return to his native land.

The table played upon was a most difficult ono, and
capable of testing the powers of the first of players, even
the champion himself. It is of pollard oak, and does great
credit to Messrs. Burroug-hea and Watts, of Soho-square.
