London, England, 1857-06-23

Very few bookmakers had quitted town for Newcastle,
a large majority of turfites reserving themselves for the
three gatherings in Hampshire. The room was, there-
fore, numerously attended, and a good show of business
was presented. The actual transactions, however, were
limited, but there was sufficient "talking" to excite both
curiosity and attention. The advance of Mongrel to 5
to 1 for the Northumberland Plate produced no prejudi-
cial effect on Skirmisher, who was backed freely at 5 to
4 and 6to 5. Vandal was the only other animal in de-
mand for this event. 3to 1 was offered on the field for
the St. Leger; 10 to 1 to 1251. was taken about Arsenal,
20 to 1 to 501. about Adamas, and 50 to 1 to 100/. about
Athlete ; 500 to 400 was laid against Ignoramus and
Blink Bonny coupled, and 100 even on Ignoramus,
Blink Bonny, and Adaynas " mixed."
The other quotations do not require comment.

The following notice was posted in the room :
"June 22, 1857.

"If a declared defaulter does not satisfy the claims of
his creditors within twelve months, he shall not be en-
titled to receive any debts which may be due to him on
the race for which he was in default.
"But if his debts are paid within the prescribed time,
viz., one year, the committee will support his just claims
to receive payment from his debtors.

LAW DITELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before, IVIr. Baron Martin, and a

Special Jury.)
BARBER V. POTTER,
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, Mr. Joyce, and Mr. Doyle
were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. 'James, Mr. Lush,
and Mr. Sleigh were counsel for the defendant.
This was an action arising out of the proceedings in-
stituted before Mr. Alderman Carden, at Guildhall,
with reference to the conduct of the plaintiff and the
management of the Samaritan Institution, in West.
street, Smithfield, of which he was secretary. The
declaration contained seven counts. The first charged
that, the plaintiff being the secretary of the Samaritan
Institution, the defendant had stated before Mr.
Alderman Carden on the 6th of December, 1856,
that, understanding the institution was about to apply
to the Lord Mayor for assistance, he thought it his duty
to state publicly that he frequently passed the institu-
tion, which was established to supply food and shelter to
the houseless poor, and that on no occasion had he ever
during the last eight months seen the building used •c-
-cept as a residence for Mr. Barber, the secretary, and
the reception of his horses and phaeton. The second
count charged that the defendant, on the Bth, made
another statement before the alderman, to the effect
that some books had been sent to the institution, and
that he did not know what had become of them.
The third count charged that the defendant had ac-
cused the plaintiff of obtaining goods by false pre-
tences. The fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh counts
stated in substance that after the writ in the
action had been issued the defendant maliciously,
and without reasonable and probable cause, and in
order to oppress the plaintiff and induce him to for-
bear from the prosecution of his action, caused four
summonses to be issued by Alderman Carde❑ charging
him (the plaintiff) with having by false and fraudulent
pretences obtained certain four, beer, and biscuits, for
the purpose of distribution to the poor, and had misap-
plied the same. These last named counts then set forth
that the plaintiff was put to great expense and loss of
time and health in defending himself from these charges,
which were adjourned from time to time till they were
finally dismissed. The defendant pleaded not guilty
generally, and as to the first and second counts that the
words complained of were true in substance and in fact.
He also denied that the plaintiff was the secretary of
the institution.

The jury had not returned their verdict when we
went to press.

By HAWS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN.

Author of the " Improvisatore."

" This story abounds in gems of thought and of expression. Its
quaintness, its descriptive bits of domestic life, its elegance and
poetic play of fancy, its exciting sterner pictures are each and all
unique.. It is a noble book, and will deservedly become a favourite
in every English household."—Dispatch.
" Andersen is vivid, pleasant, and full of the picturesque quality.
We can now understand from this new story how it is that he is so
popular in Denmark—how it is that as ho walks the streets people
lift their bats to him, as we, in loyal England, uncover to royalty. We
might extract gem after gem from this story, but we trust that we
have already sent the reader to the work."—Lloyd's Weekly News-

"Dr. PiCiforais known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to Gorman modical literature. This is the first
time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not bo the last, if he shall detect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The triboof' Quiet Sympathisers,
and 'Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exoosed ; and if this book
could find its way into the bands of those whe suffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
bo saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money.... —This volume Is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhosa, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular.

THE OPIUM TRADE.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY asked the cause of the
delay in ascertaining the opinion of the law officers of
the Crown with respect to the legality of the opium
treaty.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said the point upon
which an opinion was to be taken had been drawn up
and forwarded to the Court of Directors of the East In-
dia Company, with a view of ascertaining whether the
facts were clearly stated. The directors made certain
corrections, which of course involved delay. The ques-
tion had been suspended for some time, but l'e could
assure the noble lord that there was no inclination on
the part of the Government or Court of Directors to
create unnecessary delay. •

BANQUET AT THE JUNIOR UNITED
SERVICE CLVB.

The members of the Junior United Servicr_. Club
were honoured by the company of His Royal High-
ness the Duke of Cambridge at a splendid banquet
last evening, at the inauguration of their palatial
club-house in Charles-street, Waterloo-place. His
Royal Highness, attended by Lieutenant-Colonel
H. Clifton and Colonel Tyrwhitt, was received by
the members of the club in the entrance hall, and
was by them conducted to the drawing-room,
where the majority of the guests had 'congregated.
Dinner was announced precisely at eight o'clock.
The banquet took place in the coffee-room of the
establishment, and was served up in the Russian
style in great splendour, the tables being adorned
by a valuable collection of ornamental silver-plate,
elaborately wrought silver candelabra, furnished
and arranged by Mr. C. F. Hancock, of Bruton-
street, at a cost of 40,0001. In the various dan-
delabra and vases were the rarest natural flowers,
imparting a brilliant effect to the banqueting
hoard.

AQUATICS.

PAIR-OARED TRADESMEN'S RACE.

The members of the Temple Alliance Amateur
Aquatic Club opened the season with a pair-oared
race, with coxswains, for three signet rings for the
first boat, yesterday. The course was from the
Crab Tree to the Queen's Head at Mortlake, and
at about three o'clock the crews started, and came
in as follows :
Blue (Messrs. J. Smith, T. Mann, and J. Best,

coxswain)
Orange (Messrs. W. Branscombe, W.Bowen, and
J. Edgerton, coxswain) 0
Pink (Messrs. J. Tennant, E. Houghton, and E
Davis, coxswain)
The match was rowed in wherries. The start
was very even, and the men were together for a
few strokes. Blue then began to lead, Orange and.
Pink bringing up.the rear, oar and oar. Orange
then gradually neared Blue, and became level with
them at Hammersmith. Blue, however, soon left
them again, and were a length ahead at Chiswick
Eyot. Pink then became two lengths astern, and.
Blue having increased their lead to another length, ,
they continued so to the finish, coming in as above.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journa's of the Pith have reached
us. The English Ambassador is stated to have
notified in the name of his Government that
Spain was warranted in requiring reparation
from Mexico for the assassination of her sub-
jects ; but that the English Cabinet hoped it
might be obtained- peaceably; Ono of the jour-
nals says that both England and France are
labouring to bring about .an arrangement of
the differences between Spain and Mexico. The
Government had sent a note .to the Emperor of
the French, representing that tha aggressions on
Spanish subjects in Mexico must be considered,
not as acts of individuals, but as part of a system of
di dared hostil ty to Spain. The receipts of the
Treasury in February last amounted to 212,124,477
reals, which were 8,675,,396 reals more than those
of the corresponding period of last year. It was said
that a Ministerial department for the Colonies was
about to be established, and that M. Gon-
zalez, Bravo would most likely be appointed to
it. The Duchess de Montpensier had a fausse
couche on the 31st ult. • The trial of the Iberia,
for publishing a seditious article, had taken
place, and ended in• the acquittal of that jour-
nal, which was ably defended by M. Olozaga.
The Queen bad written an. autograph letter to
the captain-general of Catalonia, 111.. Zapatero,
thanking him for his recent energetic measures
for the preservation of order, *and announcing to
him that his wife had been made a member
of the order of Maria Louisa. A letter says :—"The
Government has this day received the news that
the Mexican Government has executed four of the
assassins of Spaniards at Cuernavacco, but it does
not appear that it has proceeded against the func-
tionaries of the Republic who acted with great fe-
rocity againit. the Spanish, nor against the assassins
of San Vicente. These executions do not satisfy
the Spanish. government, Which requires a more
complete reparation."

Sydney House of Assembly that the telegraph line
from Sydney to Melbourne is to be proceeded with
almost immediately :
" Mr. Suttor asked the lion, the Minister for
Lands and Public. Works what -steps the Govern-
ment intend taking relative to the construction of
lines of electric telegraph to the various districts of
the interior ; and when it is likely the Government
will be prepared to call for tenders for the construc-
tion or such works?

" Mr. Hay said that he might state that the
Government did not intend to take any steps to-
wards introducing .lines of electric telegraph into
any other districts of the colony, except into those
towards the southward, so as to form a telegraphic
communication with Vidalia, and to meet the line
now forming there. The Government would al-o
be prepared to call for tenders very shortly after
the vote foi the purpose should be passed by the
House."

coveries are from the Adelaide Weekly Despatch of

GOLD AT LAST.

-Two men, just'in from the country, called upon
Mr. Tinline, at the Bank of South Australia, late
on Thursday, and deposited with him about four-
teen and a half oinices, which, after much search,
they had obtained in some of our quartz ranges.
The men's account of the matter is, that in sinking
on the ranges,-they came upon a load of reddish,
brown quartz, evidently of a gold bearing charac-
ter, and that they had, in one day, raised ten
buckets full of stuff out of the hole, and by the aid
of logs of trees and hammers had crushed it, and
obtained that-quantity of gold from-it. Mr. Tinline
brought:round this gold to' our office, about half-
past ten o'clock in the evening, in a. basin, with a
solution of sulphuric acid, for our inapection. It
is of a thready and foliated character, just like what
would be crushed from quartz. The men's state-
' meat was, in all respects, a straightforward
,and
apparently truthful one. They believe the gold
fields to extend .over a range of half-a-mile. in
width by thirty miles in length. .Mr. Tinline fully
believes the gold left in his charge to be South
Australian gold, and he is confirmed in this opinion
by Mr. Mackinnon, of the Argus, who is now on a
visit from Melbourne, and who was present when
thee, men brought it. Mr. Mackinnon had never
seen gold of that description obtained from any of
the Victorian gold fieldS, but. its quattzose matrix
exactly corresponds with thatl found at Bendigo.
From an examination of the hills, beyond Brown-
bill Creek, Mr. Mackinnon, moreover, islof opinion
that gold will eventually be found there. The men
report themselves to have lodged their claim with
the Government for the gold discovery reward, but'
until that is acknowledged they will of course say
nothing about the locality. Frcm all we have
heard and seen, we believe a paying gold field has
at length beon discovered ; but a day or two at
farthest will decide the matter.

RAILWAYS IN PORTUGAL.

LISBON, April 4.—Sir Morton Peto arrived in
the Tagus, and is now,
along with Messrs. Wilson
and Lloyd, treating fur the formation of the pro-
posed railways. It is understood that Sir Morton
intends to return to England on the 9th instant,
and that matters most be settled one way or an-
other before then. The French opposition, repre-
sented by M. Prost and the Marquis de Laffras-
sang°, is very active, and these gentlemen are bAcked
by the powerful influence of the Marquis de Lisle,
the French Minister at this court, who manifests
great interest in the matter. The Marquis de Laf-
frassange
is no w here, and it is said that the offers he
makes are,more favourble than those of Sir Morton
Peto, although, it is said; he asks for accommoda-
tions, which are not mentioned in the English pro-
posals. Public opinion and the press generally are
very much in favour of Sir Morton Peto. The pc-
,vailing belief is that his offers will in the end be
accepted ; but it is premature to predict, for in
Portugal the broad and general rules which obtain
in oteer countries, and tend to infallible conclu-
sions, are by no means the order of the day, glad it
is better not to say too much until the result be
known.
Sir Morton Feb() has had an interview with the
who orpresse l approval of his proposals. It
is believed that a final settlement either for or
against will be made to-day.
