Dated September 19, 1861

The autumn races at Chantilly are to take place
on Sunday next, 22d, and Sunday, the 20th October, and
those of Paris on the 29th September, and the 6th and 13th
October.

The Chalons camp has been suddenly broken up
sans tambour ni trompette—the usual farewell review was
dispensed with. The reason for this haste is stated to be
that with the autumnal change of weather the place had be •
come unhealthy.
SAVANS ON MONT BLANC.—Five German savans,
and among them Professor PitPhner, are at present in the
midst of the ice near the summit of Mont Blanc.
,They
have not suffered from the cold, having taken all necessary
precautions to guarantee themselves against it, but they
have sustained great inconvenience from the atmosphere,
and cannot succeed in satisfying their thirst. They took
with them abundance of provisions, but could not eat with-
out pain, and only desired to drink. As a protection against
the reverberation of the sun on the snow they wear a
covering over the face, but their features have become so
blistered that they can scarcely be recognised. According
to the last accounts, they would not be able to live long at
the height at which they are without being subject to great
changes, physical and moral. They took up with them
some animals, which have also suffered greatly ; a cat was
incapable of making any movement, and a dog for some
days had ceased to bark. Some pigeons appeared to suffer
less.

THE LIGHTS ON THE WELSH COAST.—At a meet-
ing of the Mersey Dock and Harbour Board yesterday
(Thursday), Mr. Mondel, chairman of the Marine Commit-
tee, brought forward a proposition for the erection of a
lighthouse on the Great Ormshead. The light, Mr.
Mondel said, had long been considered a great desideratum
on that part of the Welsh coast, and those well acquainted
with the entrance to the Mersey—sailors, pilots, and others
—were strongly in favour of the proposition. The subject
has also received the sanction of the Commissioners of
Lights, who made a survey of the coast last year. It was
stated that the annual expense incurred, including main-
tenance, for the regular working of the lighthouse, would
be £6OO per annum. After some discussion on the subject,
it was referred to the engineer for consideration as regards
cost, &c.

A Paris letter in a Lyons journal mentions that
M. Victor Sejour's new drama, L' Invasion, was prohibited
by the censorship principally on account of a scene repre-
senting an interview between General Blucher and Mar-
shal Ney, after the battle of Ligny, which scene the
marshal speaks of Prussia and her policy in very unmea-
sured terms.

SERIOUS OCCURRENCE.—On Wodnesday an acci-
dent, attended with results doubly fatal, occurred in the
neighbourhood of Sedgley, near Wolverhampton. Mr.
Wm. Haden, nailmaker, had been to Dudley in a light con-
veyance, accompanied by a boy, and was returning home-
ward. At a particular point in the road an ass laden with
brooms was coming from the opposite direction, when the
horse took fright, and leaped to the right of the road over a
fence and down an embankment. The occupants of the
vehicle were of course pitched out, and Mr. Haden was so
much injured that he died immediately; the boy escaped
with comparatively slight injury. A minute or two after
the lifeless body of Mr. Haden was picked up, Mr. Neale,
a broker, of Dudley, passed by with some friends, and on
being informed of the nature of the occurrence ho became
much agitated. After the lapse of a short time he pro-
ceeded on his journey, but, his excitement increasing, it
was deemed expedient to stop and take him into a house,
where he expired almost instantaneously without uttering
A word.
