THE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS.

The Daily News has an interesting article on the Marquis
of Hastings. `• The Earl's year," it says, " has reached a
said climax in the death of its leading actor. The
Spider and the Fly drama is ended. That poor
coroneted youth who bad crowded into six years
more Corinthian excitement and weightier Turf cares
than many fast men' know in a lifetime, has
laid down his weary load. He was only 26
in July, and he had frittered away two fine family
estates. Betting is said to be the touchstone of the Eng-
I lishman's sincerity, but with the marquis a craving for
the odds had really become a disease. He worshipped
chance with all the ardour of a fanatic. His wits were,
he considered, worth to him in the betting ring at least
£20,000 a year, and he sometimes threaded his way
through the mazes of trials and public running
with all the sagacity of a wizard. His public coups
were often so brilliant that it was hardly to be wondered
at that he believed in his own destiny and his power to
break the ring. He cared little whether the draining or
other improvements on his Donington estates were
stopped, if he only got fresh supplies far another New-
market campaign. The ring, on the other hand, had
marked him for their own, and never left him. They
Would cluster beneath the Jockey Club balcony at
Epsom, holding up their hands to claim his attention, and
catching at his replies like a flock of hungry hawks.
There he would stand, smiling at the wild tumult below,
wearing his hat jauntily on oue side, a red flower
in his button-hole, and his colours round his neck,
and cool and calm while the talent' made his horse a
hot favourite' at once, and a few slipped back
to the ring to follow his lead. For a time he was a perfect
Cocker; but he fell at last in the unequal strife, and the
men who had drawn' him most copiously were among
those who set their faces most sternly against him
when he wished to see the Heath once more." The
marquis's father (according to the Daily News) wasrather a
hunter than a racer. But his son did not follow in his
steps. " He took quite naturally to the turf from the first,
enfolded under the wing of Danebury. In 1862 not six
people at Newmarket knew who the slim lad was on the
grey cob; but the ring soon saw that he was a veritable
Hampshire ambassador when he put down the money so
unflinchingly on a Danebury pot. To John Day's sugges-
tion that in his position he was morally bound to have a
nice yearling or two of his own, he lent no ungracious
ear. When the rivalry round the Hampton Court and
Middle Park rings almost foamed into madness, and 2,500
guineas and 2,000 guineas were among the yearling prices
of one afternoon, he was never tempted beyond 1,650
guineas for King Charles, and 1,500 guineas for Robespierre.
The former would have been dear at 50 guineas, and the latter li
won well in the colours of another. His two best horses, The
Duke (500 guineas) and The. Earl (450 guineas), were
among his cheapest purchases. Gradually his stable
swelled to upwards of thirty, and about R 70,000 were the
spoils of six seasons. A cycle of barrenness followed
one of profusion, and Mr. Padwick graciously allowed
him, in 1865, to have Kangaroo at, it was
said, £12,000, and he never won as many halfpence,
while The Duke was useless, from influenza, till
half the season was over. In 1866, which produced him a
One Thousand Guinea winner in Repulse, and a Goodwood
Cup one in the Duke, the stable was once more at a dead
lock for a Cesarewitch horse, but little Lecturer, a foal
from the Sledmere sale, carried 7st. 31b., and won, it was
said, £40,000 for the Donington party.
"A winter's reflection convinced his lordship that Her-
mit could never win the Derby, and £103,000 was the
price he paid for his thoughts. People were once wont
to tell, almost below their breath, that Davis, the
Leviathan,' had been known to pay away £60,000 on the
Derby. The present age is capable of greater efforts, as
before the Monday the bankers and solicitors had con-
sulted, and the whole of the marquis's losings were found
for him. Thus panic was averted from The Corner,' but
the fair lands of Loudoun passed from his hand. At Ascot
his lucky star rose once more. Lady Elizabeth and Lecturer
were both in form, and his lordship kept backing them,
and piling on the winnings again by a sort of geometric
progression, gambling till he had won nearly half his ain
again.' It was now the turn for reverses. His lordship
rather fancied The Earl, but the stable overru+ed him in
favour of Lady Elizabeth. The flying filly came back
with a sadly chequered fame a bad fifth for the Middle
Park Plate, andyet the victress in one of the most wonder-
ful of modern matches at 91b. with the three-year-old
Julius. The marquis had now fallen back again to
nearly the same agony point' in finance as when he saw
the `all-rose' handed home for the Derby. A weary
winter followed, and he was so driven from pillar to
post by money troubles and turf creditors, that he lost
his interest in turf matters and his head for calcula-
tions with it. The irritable Lady Elizabeth wasted
to a shadow in her training ; and how The Earl was
scratched, and then became the hero of the Parisians
and the Ascot visitors, and how the few words
that, were dropped at York proved the precursor of his
Leger doom, are all dark passages of turf politics, and not
easily forgotten. We saw the last of The Earl when he
was bought in as stout as a butgornaster for £3,900 guineas
at Tattersall's, and then he departed to Findon
with a leg upon whose chances of standing a pre-
paration each man seemed to differ with his fellow.
The late marquis had been abroad all the summer
in his yacht, but no northern breezes could fan
him back to health. He came to Doncaster, from Nor-
way, on crutches, and looking very ill and nervous, and
well he might, as, instead of having a St. Leger winner, he
had only the lean comfort of a veterinary certificate from
Mr. Mayor. At the First October he was on Newmarket
Heath in a basket carriage, which he only quitted to say
a word to the pretty Athena, which once was mare
of mine,' when she was led back a winner. As at Don-
caster, he did not go beyond a `pony' or two. Mind,
I'm to have this paid,' said one ring man when he booked
it to him ; and after that week they saw him no more.
Nearly seven seasons had passed by since he first came, a
lad of nineteen, fresh from Eton to Newmarket, and
he left it a shattered man, only to die. He spent
some time at Folkestone, and visited town for a few days
before he set out for a winter sojourn with his wife on the
Nile. Some few friends dared to hope that he might come
back a new man, and live quietly in his old country home,
and train the foals by The Duke. It was not to be. 'All
the wheels were down,' and now the fourth and the last
Marquis of Hastings only lives in racecourse story."

The last number of the Berlin Kladderadatsch,
or Punch, has been seized for the publication of a caricature
against the deficit in the Prussian budget.
INDISPOSITION OY LORD AMBERLEY. Lord
Amberley is suffering from an attack of jaundice, which,
though slight at present, prudence demands that he should
keep his bed for two or three days at least.

A somewhat extraordinary engagement has been
made by Aidlle. Nilsson. An English concert society has
engaged this charming vocalist for a space of two months,
at the rate of two concerts a week. She is to receive
£B,OOO, one-fourth to be paid in advance, besides the
expenses of herself and three persons.

At the Court at Windsor, the 7th day of Novem-
ber, 1868, present the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty
in Council.--This day, Colonel Thomas Edward Taylor,
M.P., was, by her Majesty's command, sworn of her
Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, and took
his place at the board accordingly.— Gazette.

The mail-diligence was lately attacked between
Ketskemet and Izsak, in Hungary, by some malefactors
not yet discovered. The money, amounting to about
2,840 florins, as well as the letters, were carried off and the
vehicle burnt. An infantry soldier, the postilion, and a
shoemaker's appearance lost their lives by a discharge
from the robbers' firearms. This is the third occasion on
which a similar occurrence has taken place near the same
spot.

PROPOSED INTERVIEW BETWEEN THE VICEROY
OF INDIA AND SHERE ALI.—It has been arranged that the
Viceroy and Shere Ali Khan should have a meeting at
Peshawur. " There seems to be already a good under-
standing," the Bombay Gazette says, " between the Ameer
and the Government of India, and we anticipate the best
results. If the Black Mountain problem should be solved,
and friendly relations established with Afghanistan, Sir
John Lawrence will leave India with no little prestige.
His frontier policy—the policy of masterly inactivity'—
has been a strong point against him."

A pastoral from Cardinal Cullcn, with reference
to the elections, has been read in all the chapels of Dublin.
His eminence exhorts the electors to avoid drunkenness
during the period of popular excitement. He trusts that
none will be so weak or unprincipled as to accept a bribe,
either directly or indirectly. "Never, perhaps (says Car-
dinal Cullen), in the history of this country, were so many
vital interests at stake, and never was it more necessary that
every citizen should discharge faithfully the duty which his
reason and conscience dictate." "No lasting good," the
Cardinal adds, "can be secured by violc nee of any kind, and
no efforts of ours ca❑ merit the blessing of God, unless they
bear with them the imiress of peace, order, and religion."
Lord Mayo, in a farewell address to the electors of
Cockermouth, before leaving for India, says : " Splendid
as is the post, and difficult as will be :my duties, I go forth
in full confidence, and hope God will give me such strength
and wisdom as will enable me to direct the government of
India in the interest and for the welfare of the millions com-
mitted to our care. In the performance of the great task 1
ask no favour; let me bo judged according to my actions;
but I know that efforts honestly made for the maintenance
of our national honour, for the spread of civilisation, and the
preservation of peace, will always command the sympathy
and ppport 9i DIY GQUAtrnaeu."

OLYMPIC 711E/171:E.

If " The Yellow Passport," an adaptation of M.
Victor lingo's " Les Miserables," by Mr. _Henry
Neville, cannot be pronounced a great success, it
is, at least, an effort deserving commendation. Tile
original story presents more than usual difficulties
for stage ad iptation, and Mr. Neville seems to have
experienced this, and therefore has ha i recourse to
a prologue, which he follows by his drama, which
is in four acts. The prologue is entirely occupied
by Jean's plundering the good Bishop Myrielt
the capture of the thief, his forgiveness, and Jean's
determination to repair the wrong he has committed.
The four acts are thus occupied by Jean's career,
as the good and benevolent millionaire, who, how-
ever, is borne down by the fact that he is after all
but an escaped galley slave. this deeds of goodness
render him the friend of all except an ever-prr
ing officer of police, Janvert, who discovers Jean's
secret, and therefore becomes his implacable foe.
The character of Thenardier is well preserved, and
so is the female parts of Fantine and Cosette, but
the extreme length of the play acts as a great
drawback to its entertaining power. The mistake
in the Yellow Passport (Jean's convict ticket) is
making it five acts—three would have been much
better; it would have necessitated further considera-
tion, which certainly would have effected a decided
improvement, because it would have brought the
situations closer together. Mr. Neville acted the part
of Jean with his usual amount of force add pathos;
and Mr. Wigan in the part of Janvert has another
Ihawkshaw to represent, which, of course, he does
remarkably well. Mr. G. Vincent, as Thenardier,
rather overacted the part, a fault we hive not fre-
quently to bring against him. Miss Furtado sus-
tained the part of Fantine in the early part of the
drama, and Cosette in the latter, with much skill,
but she was rather overweighted in the funnel.'
The play has been excellently put upon the stage,
and the scenery is remarkably beautiful. If We
cannot say it is destined to a run as long as the
" Ticket-of-Leave Man," it will doubtless for a con-
siderable time prove a piece of great attraction.

DEATH OF MIL WILLIAM- 11ARRIsO.S.

Although the severe illucss with which this once
popular vocalist has been for some time afflicted
could hardly have allowed his friends to cherish all
hope of his immediate recovery, an announcement
the decease of one who has been so long prom"
nently before the public will, doubtless, Le gene"
rally received with as much surprise as sorrow. lir'
William Harrison died at his residence, Gaisford-
street, Kentish-town, on Monday afternoon, in 11'5
55th year. His last hours were solaced by the pre"
sence of his two sons, the Rev. William Harrison
and Mr. Frank Harrison, and the inevitable issue
of his malady was awaited by the sufferer with the
greatest calmness and resignation, It may be men'
tioned that at the time Mr. llarrison expired big
mother, who had attained the advanced age of 87'
was in the adjoining apartment momentarily
petted to breathe her last. Those who remeur
bered how energetically Mr. Harrison strove for
years to make English opera a permanent institu-
tion in the metropolis must Lave heard with greut
regret that these efforts had seriously affected
his pecuniary position ; and there can be nu
doubt that the disorder which has just proved fatal
was much aggravated by the anxiety of mind con-
sequent on his recent heavy losses. The high re-
putatiou he attained as a tenor is due entirely to
his own unaided exertions, and to the fine voice
with which he wag endows 1. The favourable jai"
pression which he produced at one of the festivals
of the Covent Garden Theatrical Fund, where be
assisted as a vocalist, after a brief period of study
at the Royal Academy of Music, led to his bewb
offered an engagement by Mr. Macready ; and 011
the 2d of May, 1839, he made a very successful
debut at Covent Garden Theatre as . the hero Of,,
Rooke's opera, " Henrique ; or, The Love Pilgrim:
When " The Bohemian Girl" was produced in
November, 1843, at Drury Lane, Mr. Harrison 05
the original Thaddeus ; and the popularity wbieti
he imparted to Balfe's tuneful ballads, 44'fbe
Fair Land of Poland" and " You'll remember
me," must be eveu now fressh in the public r,,eollec-
tion. As Adolphe, in Balfe's opera of
Daughter of St. Mark," Bohemoude iu Beneact
" Crusaders," and Don Caesar de Bazan in W'l"
lace's "Maritana," he advanced a reputation wlue°
was further strengthened by his success at the'
Princess's in Macfarren's opera of " Charles the
Second." In August, 1851, Mr. Harrison, accom-
panied by Miss Louisa Pyne, left England for America, and, after a very prosperous tour through
the States, they returned to this country with the
intention of establishing a permanent English °pc°
in the English capital. The Lyceum, originally
intended for the purpose, was opened in Septem-
ber, 1857, under the Pyne and Harrison dire
,0
.r,
Lion ; and the success which accompanied the
undertaking induced Mr. Harrison to become
lessee of Covent Garden Theatre for the winter
seasons extending from 1858 till 1862. Sulim,
sequently he undertook the management of beg,.
g,
Majesty's Theatre, for a similar purpose ; but
enormous expenditure thus incurred was never re
•
paid by the receipts, and these speculations en .0
in the total loss of a large fortune acquired b 9
industry and talents. His last professional engag
a
meat was at Dury-lane Theatre, where he appo-
rC
under Mr. Chatterton's management, as the substolf
tute for Mr. Sims Reeves, in the musical drama "
Rob Roy." his increasing indisposition soon
after forbade his continuing his professional eXer,
tions ; and since the complimentary benefit virble 4
.4
was given to him at Covent Garden last July, lilt,
illness rapidly assumed a more serious asPeeh
Without attaining the highest rank as an Digt,°,
tenor, Mr. William Harrison succeeded in acquirolo
a popularity which will render his death a sourceot
sincere regret to the musical public.

The statement that the claims upon the North-
Western Railway Company arising out of the
Abergele accident have been settled is without
foundation.
An interim dividend at the rate of 10 per cent.
per annum, free of income tax, has been declared
by the directors of the Otago and Southland In-
vestment Company.
The Port Phillip and Colonial Gold Mining Com-
pany, having been registered as a limited company,
have convened a meeting for the 19th inst., to pass
the necessary resolutions to reduce the share capi-
tal and liability.
The advices from the provinces are rather more
favourable to trade. The value of money is gra-
dually working up in Manchester, Liverpool, and
Glasgow. The bankers are not so ready to make
advances at the late rates, and many parties have
endeavoured to arrange for loans forward. Until
it is ascertained whether the Bank directors will
carry the official minimum per cent. higher to-
morrow there will be a disinclination to adjust any
important transactions.

With reference to a memorandum from the Com-
mittee of Venezuelan bondholders, inserted on the
7th inst., the following note has been forwarded by
the Venezuelan Consul for publication :

" Foreign-office, Nov. 7, 1868.

" Sir—l am directed by Lord Stanley to state
to you, in reply t 9 your letter of the 6th instant,
that the mixed commission now sitting at Caracas,
and alluded to in the notice to British subjects
having claims against Venezuela, has reference
only to international claims,' and has nothing to
do with the claims of the British bondholders on
that Republic. —I am, sir, your most obedient
humble servant,

Extraordinary statements are forwarded at in-
tervals to the various New York journals regard-
ing silver discoveries in the State of Nevada. These
are treated with proper reserve, but there seems to
be no doubt of the remarkable character of the
district. According to a regular correspondent of
the New }ork Journal of Commerce, a new ex-
citement has just been occasioned by rich disco-
veries at a place called White Pine, Lander county,
about 100 south-east of Austin.
Nothing further than that we have already pub-
Flailed has transpired to show that the rival
13righton scheme has any very solid foundation.
The representation is that it is to cost only
Q 1,333,000 (£1,000,000 share capital, with the
usual borrowing powers), but this does not pro-
vide a metropolitan terminus, which is only to be
gained by asking for running powers over an exist-
ing metropolitan line. Looking at the enormous
outlay incurred by the existing company in Parlia-
rnentary expenses and requirements, it will be a
question for Parliament how far a grant can be

MARKE7 S-7 Ills DAY.
T
CORN EXCHANGE.

At Mark-lane this morning the attendance was
thinner oven than is usual on Wednesduy. The
arrivals of English wheat are moderate, but those of
foreign ample. English barley has come sorward
a little more freely, and foreign continues to arrive
in good quantities. Oats are plentiful for Irish
and foreign, but English are entirely wanted. The
supplies of maize are good. The demand for wheat,
both English and foreign, was remarkably quiet, and few
transactions took place. Barley is steady. Oats are firm.
Beans and peas unaltered.
NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.
The beef trade is rather better, but for other descriptions
of meat there is no alteration. Beef, 3s 2d to 4s 8d ;
veal, 3s 8d to 4s 8d; mutton, 3s to 4s 8d; large pork
3s 4d to 4s 4d ; small ditto, 4s 2d to 4s Bd. There is
no particular change in the poultry market, the only
advance being in pigeons, which are very scarce. Wood-
cocks are quoted from 7s to 83 per brace. Geese,
5s to 7s each ; grouse, 5s to 7s per brace ; pheasants, 58 to
75 per brace; partridges, 85 to 4s per brace ; fowls, 2s 6d
to 3s 6d each ; hares, 2s 6d to 3s 6d each.
"""---- BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. _ .

at former rates. English regents, 60s to 120 s ; ditto rocks,
50s to 80s ; York regents, 100 s to 170 s ; ditto rocks, 70s to
