TATTERSALL' S--YESTERDA.

The reassembling of Parliament having brought many
noblemen and country gentlemen to town, the Room was
well attended, not only by professional bookmakers, but by
the leading patrons of the Turf. Speculation took a wide
range, and signs were made of the active resumption of the
business of the approaching racing season.
LIVERPOOL STEEPLECHASE.—The Brewer opened at 15
to 1, but at the close he was head and head with Jealousy
In the betting-12 to 1 was taken about each. Little Char-
ley was also in good demand.

CHESTER Cur.—The list of quotations on this event
showed no particular change, and tho investments were
more remarkable for their number than for their im-

portance.

Two THOUSAND.—The reaction which commenced hi
favour of Promised Land in the City on Friday was still in
force, 4to 1 was currently offered on him, but half a point
more would have been taken. He was also backed in several
double-event bets, and offers were made to take 40 to 1
about him for this race and the Derby. Only 1,000 to 30
was, however, obtainable.

THE DERBY,--150 were invested on The Promised Land
at 12 to 1, the backer offering to go on at the price. At
100 to 6 Marionette was well supported, and was second
favourite for this event and the Two Thousand. Rainbow,
Rcynard, Ticket of Leave, Serenader, and Viking were
backed for about £lOO each at the odds quoted.

TEE NE TV PUTSNE JUDGE OF
BOMB4E

We may congratulate the Bar at Bombay on the
accession to the Bench at that Presidency of an
accomplished scholar as well as a profound lawyer.
It may not, perhaps, be generally known out of
legal circles that Sir Joseph Arnould's work on the
" Law of Marine Insurance" is one of the ablest and
most lucid digests of a special branch of law ever
given to the public. But it will doubtless be inte-
resting to our readers, especially to those who be-
long to the Bombay services, to have:before them a
brief sketch of the other antecedents of the new
judge. This we have great pleasure in furnishing,
and we feel sure that its perusal will make it evi•
dent that a better selection could not have been
made than that of the gentleman whose career we
propose briefly to run through. Sir J. Arnould
was born in 1815, and entered Chartehouse in 1826.
when the school was in its most palmy days, and at
a time when many youthful aspirants were studying
there who were afterwards to acquire a wide reputa-
tion. W. M. Thackeray was then among the senior
boys and not very much junior to him were Elder,
afterwards head master, Liddell, Bode, and others
of subsequent classical renown.J.
Sir Arnould
left Charterhouse in 1828, and matriculated at
Wadham College, Oxford, in 1832. Shortly after
he gained a scholarship at his own college ; and in
1834, the year of the Duke of Wellington's instal-
lation as Chancellor, he obtained the University
prize for English verse. The subject was the
"Hospice of St. Bernard," and Sir J. Arnould's
poem ranks high among the compositions ofthe
kind—perhaps not one was ever more applauded.
In 1836 Sir J. Arnould came out in the first class
in classics, and was elected Fellow of Wadham
College in 1838. In 1841 he was called to the bar
at the Middle Temple, and went the Home Circuit.
His work on " Marine Insurance " was published
in 1848, and has already run through several edi-
tions. As an essayist and influential contributor
to the press, Sir J. Arnould is well known, and
there are few men whose reading has been more
varied and extensive, or better digested. The lite-
rary world has a fair right to look for much ad-
vantage from the appearance of so -ripe. a scholar
iu the still imperfectly trodden field of Indian ie
•
search ; and we doubt not that such expectations
will ere long be fully realised."—Honieward
