London, England, 1861-08-23 00:00:00

selected on this occasion to move the vote of thanks
with which I shall conclude the few observations
with which I shall trouble this meeting. Your
lordship's services are, I will venture to say, in-
capable of appreciation ; but I echo the public sen-
timent when I say that they are deeply sEnsible of
the great value of your lordship's services, and that
the recollection of them will be paramount, and
that the obligation of them can never cease as long
as the important objects of this association shall
be dear to the interests and the affections of the
human race. You have devoted to this important
subject, I may say. the exclusive attention of your
later years, the fruits of your vast experience,
and the energy of that great intellect which
is only to be equalled by the philanthropy
with which its exertions have been always cha-
racterised. (Hear, hear.) We are proud,
and justly proud, to see such a man, so gifted
—gifted with all the ornaments which tend to
decorate and to elevate the human mind, dis-
charging at your period of life, and with such ability
duties so important to the interests of your country.'
(Applause.) Permit me to say that as long as your
Lordship has lived we have witnessed with the
greatest satisfaction in your person proofs of an in-
tellect unimpaired, of a wisdom matured and im-
proved by the taste and experience of a long life.
With these few observations I shall propose what I
know will be received with acclamation not only
within these walls, but with the universal concur-
rence of every person in this empire to whom your
Lordship's character and services are so well known.
(Applause.) I have the honour to move, That the
marked thanks of this meeting be given to Lord
Brougham for his services as President of the Social
Science Congress.' " (Warm and prolonged ap-

plause.)
Mr. LENTAIGNE, D.L., seconded the motion.
Sir ROBERT PEEL, whose appearance for the first
Chief Secretary before a Dublin audience,
timewas as
hailed with a burst of enthusiastic applause,
i said,—

- -
of both prisoners, who ware close to him, and
charged them with robbing him. At the same mo-
ment he saw his watch fall from the hand of the
pr=isoner Smith. He picked it up, and gave the pri-
soners over to the custody of a constable.
There was a second charge against the prisoners of
attempting to pick the pocket of a youth of 15
years of age.
O❑ the application of Inspector Bond they were
remanded for a week to give time to make inqui-
ries respecting their previous character.
George Collingwood and John Hall, well-dressed
young men, who described themselves as carpenters,
were charged on suspicion of stealing a rather old-
fashioned engine-turned silver watch, which had
been found on the seat of a railway carriage at the
Crystal Palace platform, where they were taken
into custody.
These prisoners were also remanded.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Overton, 3to 1 agat King of the
Forest, 7 to 2 agst Gauntlet, 6 to 1 agst Commander.
As soon as the flag dropped King of the Forest instantly
went to the front, with Overton lying at his girths ; Gaunt-
let, Commander, and Dr. Pusey, side by side, a few lengths
behind. As they came up to the distance the weight began
to tell upon the King, who fell back into the third place,
Overton and Commander both passing him. Opposite the
stand, Commander was leading, and he came through and
won easily by two lengths ; half a length behind Overton
came Gauntlet, the same separating Gauntlet from King

thrush, Couleur de Rose, and Miss Rarey.
Betting-2 to 1 each agst Peignoir and Hesper, 6to 1
agst the Blmehe filly, and 10 to 1 agst any other offered.
Peignoir was very unruly at the post, twice breaking
away, once running out to the right of the course, and the
second time running nearly up to the distance before Grim-
shaw could pull him up. When they did go the Blanche filly
jumped off with a slight lead, but was quickly pulled back,
and Knuston took up the running, Peignoir lying second,
the Blanche filly third ; about half way up Knuston fell
back and the two favourites came on side by side first and
second ; when passing the stand Peignor appeared to have
the best of it; a fine race in then took place, the Blanche
filly winning on the post by a head ; Thunderstorm was a
bad third, Knuston next, with Lord Stanley fifth, the last
of all being brought up by Hesper and Couleur de Rose.
The Oxfordshire Stakes of 100 soya, added to a handicap

Mr. Angel's Artless, 5 yrs, 7st 111 b (Perry) 5
Betting-6 to .4 on Bally Edmond, sto 2 agst Sycophant,
7 to 1 agst any other (offered).
The five got off at the appointed time, and as they came
up the straight the first time the heavy weight was leading,
but before the judge's chair was passed Adams had pulled
him back into the second place, Artless taking up the run •
ning, with The Brownie third, the favourite fourth, and
Sycophant last. In this order they rounded the turn, and
went along the back stretch in Indian file. On rounding
Howell's corner for the straight Artless fell back into the
rear, and Sycophant immediately afterwards passed The
Brownie, and on entering the straight he had taken the
third place, but did not get up to the two leaders (Bally
Edmond and Defender) until reaching the distance, when
the three took close order, and at the Stand Sycophant had
gained a slight advantage over Defender, but could never
get up to the favourite, who won, hard held, by half a
length, Sycophant beating Defender for second by a neck.
The Brownie and Artless were both beaten off.
The County Members' Plate of 30 sovs, added to a sweep-
stakes of 5 soya each, for three-yr-olds and upwards.

Mr. Fitzhugh' a Shepherdess, 3 yrs (£200),75t 51b(Pearson) 4
Sweetbread also ran.
The betting opened at 6 to 4 agst Memo and closed at 3 to
1 agst him, 5 to 4 agst Sweetbread, 4 to 1 agst Shepherdess.
Memo, with Sweetbread, made play to the straight, where
Memo ran out, and taking Shepherdess with him, forced
her on one side, and ere she could recover herself she slipped
and came down on her side, without injuring either horse
or rider. After this Memo made the remainder of the run-
ning, was never headed, and won easily by two lengths ;
half a length between second and third ; Shepherdess was a
bad fourth.
The Selling Plate of 50 soya, for all ages; maiden and
selling allowances. Half a mile.
Mr. Mellor's Bubbles, 2 yrs (£3O), sst 71b (J. Grimshaw) 1
Mr. J. Dawson's Grant, 2 yrs (L3O), sst 71b (Wheatley) 2

Eheu, Rhcebus, Emily Harris, Fair Star, and Bianca filly.
Betting-7 to 4 agst Eheu, 9to 2 agat Sloth, sto 1 agst
Bubbles, 100 to 15 against Bianca filly.
Sloth, attended by Bubbles, the Sweetmeat filly, and
Grant, made play as soon as the flag fell, and the four came
on in advance up to the distance, when they changed places,
both Grant and Bubbles passing Sloth, and Maid of Peru
the Sweetmeat filly. No further change occurred, Bubbles
winning easily by two lengths ; three-quarters of a length
dividing Sloth from Grant; Maid of Peru was fourth, the
Sweetmeat filly next, with Eheu sixth, Mr. Payne's colours
bringing up the rear.
The winner was bought in for 115 guineas.

for two-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 101 b ; fillie. , Bst 71b ; winners

Mr. 11. Coverdale's Caracole, bst 71b (3rubb) 5
Betting-5 to 4on Peignoir, 2to 1 agst Master Fenton.
The running was made by the two favourites, with Exche-
quer lying next, Aroma and Caracole bringing up the rear.
In this order they ran to the distance,where Exchequer got
up to Peignoir's girths, and before the Stead was cleared
he'd headed him, but could not reach Master Fenton, who
won cleverly by a length, a head only separating the second
and third ; Aroma was a bad fourth ; Caracole last. H.
Grimshaw weighed for Hariole,-and her numbte'went up,
but was soon taken down again, and she did not go to the
post.

Sir C. Rushout's Conqueror, 3 yrs, Ost 111 b (C. Boynton) 3
Betting-6 to 4on Ariadne, sto 2 agst Soothsayer, 3to 1
agst Conqueror.
Fordham on Soothsayer went away with the lead, having
Conqueror at his girth, Ariadne laying off. In this order
they went along the back stretch, when Conqueror headed
Soothsayer and made the pace pretty good to the entrance
into the straight, when Ariadne slipped bcth her opponents,
and on reaching the distance was leading a dozen lengths.
After this Ariadne came on at her leisure, and won in a
canter by ten lengths ; half a length dividing the second
from the third.
On returning to scale Mr. Boynton, the rider of Con-
queror, made an objection against the other two, on the
ground that they had not gone the right course. This objec-
tion immediately fell to the ground when Mr. Marshall, the
starter, came up and stated that, instead of Ariadne and
Soothsayer going the wrong course, it was Conqueror that
went wrong.
