THE WATERWITCH AFFAI AT NEWMARKET.

It may be remembered that we appended to our report of
the Newmarket First Spring Meeting a notice issued by the
Stewards of the Jockey Club, prohibiting any person from
speaking to the jockeys after they were mounted and at the
post. That notice was occasioned by some very " irregular"
proceedings, which were taken into consideration by the
Jockey Club at a recent special meeting, attended by
Admiral Rouse, Lord Portsmouth (stewards), Mr. Alex-
ander, Lord Annesley, Duke of Beaufort, Lord Clifden,
Lord de Mauley, Lord Derby, Mr. Greville, Sir Joseph
Hawley, Mr. Lowther, General Peel, Lord W. Poulettl
Lord Stradbroke, and Lord Wilton. The official Racing
Calendar contains the following announcement in reference
to the matter :

" The meeting was called by the stewards to take into
consideration the running of Mr. Bryan's Waterwitch at
Newmarket, on Wednesday, in the First Spring Meeting.
After the senior steward had stated the circumstances, a
letter from Mr. Bryan was zead, and evidence was taken
from a gentleman who attended on his behalf. Mr. Bryan
having admitted that he gave orders to his jockey to lose
the race, it was resolved—
" That Mr. Bryan be warned off the course at New-
market and other places where the Jockey Club have juris-
diction for the year 1861, and that he be informed that if
the club had not reason to believe that the offence was com-
mitted under the influence of temper, and not with an
object of pecuniary gain, they would have felt it their duty
to inflict a much severer penalty.'

"VT. Long, the boy who rode Waterwitch, being young
and inexperienced, has been severely reprimanded by the
stewards, and told, that if he should repeat the offence, he
will never be allowed to ride:afterwards."

dam and Cantine heading the list at 9st 41b each, 12 being

with 91 subscribers.

THE ISTHMUS OF SUEZ.—A traveller who is now
visiting the works of the Isthmus of Suez sends the Sleds
tha following details, dated El Guizer, 3d inst.:--" The cen-
tral service of the supplies and the administration for all
the points of the isthmus is organised at Damietta. From
6,000 to 7,000 Arabs are now employed. There are upwards
of 2,000 at Timsale, where the works are carried on with an
intelligent activity which must secure sure results. I was
surprised to see those masses of native workmen using with
the greatest facility all the French tools and improved ma-
chinery. Courageous and persevering efforts were necessary
to organise all these works, which are carried on with the
greatest order and precision. The company advances towards
its object, and it will attain it. The materiel employed is
immense. The wheelbarrows alone are more than 14,000
in number; there are steam saw mills, machinery for cut-
ting metal and wood, hospitals, bakehouses, butchers' shops
—in fact, nothing is wanting."
