Love in a Mist made the running, followed by Quirina,
Vicious, The Whip, and Wild Dove, Chipnoy bringing up
the rear. Before reaching the Stand Rattler took the lead.
Vicious, Atalanta, and Love in a Mist following in a
cluster, the last lot being Themisto, Ada, 'l'ho Nun, and
Chipney. Rattler held the command until rounding the
bend for home, when he was joined by Wild Dove and
Dovedalo, the former of whom cleared the last hurdles
first, and appeared to be winning easily, but Dovedalo
caught her in the last few strides, and the result was a
dead heat ; half a length in rear of the dead-healers was
Atalanta, who was a neck only in advance of Rattler—
Themisto was fifth, close up; Vicious sixth, Kismet
seventh, Love in a Mist eighth, the only other that
passed the post being The Nun. The Whip bolted out
of the course, and Ada pulled up some distance from
home.

Deciding Beat-4 to lon Wild Dove.
The non-favourite held a long lead to the turn into the
straight, when the pair closed, and Dovedale, losing
ground at the last jump, the favourite took a slight lead,
and, maintaining it to the end, won cleverly by three-
quarters of a length.

The Price of 'Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
tile abort exchange on London is 25f. 170. per £1 sterling.
On cpmparing these rates with the English Mint price of
3 lis. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold is about the same price in Paris ano in London.
Elie course of exchange at New York on London for bills
at 60 days' sight is about 109) per cent. At this rate there
is no profit on the importatiim of gold from the United

THE WAR IN THE RIVER PLATE.
PARIS, April 8.

The Moniteur of this morning says :—Letters
from Rio de Janeiro, dated 11th March, contain
authentic information from Paraguay which con-
firms the forcing of the passage of Humaita by the
Brazilian fleet and the storming of the Estabeleci-
mento redoubt. The citadel of Humaita had not,
however, yet been carried, and the army of Lopez,
which had been prematurely announced to have re-
treated into Bolivia, was massed in front of the
Brazilian positions in Tayute. The occupation of
As.sompcion by the Brazilian squadron appears to
be confirmed.

A very important will case commenced on Wednewla7
in the Court of Probate, Dublin, before Judge Keatinge.
It was a suit to establish the will of the late Lady Esmonde,
by which, among other bequests, she left £30,000 to
Trinity College for the purposd of founding a college in th)
county of Wexford, in connection with the University of.
Dublin, to be called " The Grogan College." The deceased
lady, at the time of her marriage with Sir Thomas
Esmonde, was the widow of the late Mr. Grogan Morgan,
of Johnstown Castle, who gave her by deed, a life interest
in his landed estates, and made her the absolute owner
of his personal property, which was consid.-. rable. On her
marriage with Sir Thomas Esmonde, in 1856, a marriage
settlement was executed, by which her life in-
terest in the Johnstown Castle estates, worth
from £15,000 to £20,000 a year, and her personal estate,
was settled in the strictest manner upon herself,
for her solo and separate use, and power was given to her
to dispose of all the personal property of which she was
possessed, by deed or by will, as she thought proper. The
will now in question was executed on the sth of August,
1857, about five months previous to the death of Lady
Esmonde. It is impeached by Sir Thomas Esmonck,
her husband, and Lord and Lady Granard, her son-
in-law and her daughter, on the ground that it was
obtained from her by undue influence, exercised and
practised by Mrs. Deane Morgan, the eldest daughter of
the testatrix, and the Rev. Edward Hughes, a Protestant
clergyman. The case of the executors is that Lady
Esmonde was deeply attached to the Protestant
religion, that she supported Protestant charities in
the neighbourhood of Johnstown Castle, .and that her
daughter, Lady Granard, having become a Roman
Catholic, she changed whatever testamentary inten-
tions she may have previously had in her favour,
and determined to devote her personal property to pur-
poses of a religious and of a Protestant character. Lady
Gran ard has, by her mother's death, become entitled to
£12,000 a year, and 3.irs. Deane Man to £5,000 a year.
Sir Thomas Esmonde, who is a Roman Catholic, is a man
of large property. The case is likely to last some days.

NARROW ESCAPE.—On Tuesday night an acci-
dent, which might have bad more serious consequences,
happened to the Earl and Countess of Dunmore. It ap-
pears that, while returning from dining with the Earl and
Countess Cadogan, a cab ran into the brougham, breaking
the shafts and sending the horse at a furious gallop down
Grosvenor-place on the foot pavement. The carriage
came into collision with a lamp-post, and throw the foot-
man and coachman off the box, the legs of the latter getting
entangled in one of the wheels. The horse fell and the
brougham was smashed, but, fortunately, neither the Earl
nor Countess was injured in the least. The coachman was
conveyed to the hospital. The footman's injuries were
slight.

PROPOSED MEMORIAL TO THE DUKE OF

EDINBURGH.

An English committee, consisting almost wholly of
gentlemen interested in the Australian colony, has been
formed for the erection of a memorial in Sydney to com-
memorate the gratitude of the inhabitants of New South
Wales for the preservation of the Duke of Edinburgh
from the hand of the assassin who attempted to take his
life. They held a meeting on Thursday, at the Bank
of New South Wales, in Old Broad-street, with Sir
John Young, Bart., K.C.8., in the chair. It was held
in pursuance of a request forwarded from, Sydney that
colonists now in England should join with the inhabitants
of New South Wales for the attainment of the object in
view. Sir William Denison moved the first resolution,
expressive of full sympathy with the views of the colo-
nists in their thankfulness for the escape of the Duke
of Edinburgh, and of their accordance with the judg-
ment of the colonists in proposing a hospital as a suit-
able monument. The resolution was seconded by Cap-
tain Towns, and was agreed to. Mr. Wentworth
proposed, and Mr. M. Josephs seconded, a motion re-
solving that a subscription list should be opened. Mr.
Adolphus Young recommended that the subscription
should not be confined to colonists, but should be open to
all England. Sir Wm. Denison thought the inhabitants
of the colony would object to the extension of the resolu-
tion. It was, however, adopted without alteration.
Sir Charles Nicholson, in moving that a copy of the pro-
ceedings of the meeting be sent to those referred to in the
last resolution, confessed that he rather sympathised
with Mr. Young in asking for the support of people
connected with the colony generally, as well as those
associated with New South Wales. The result of some
conversation was to extend the resolution to the colonists
of Australia and those connected therewith, inviting their
co-operation. Captain Mayne was requested to send
letters accordingly, and with him were joined, as a sub-
committee, Mr. M. Joseph, and Mr. Mort. Tho meeting,
on concluding the business, gave a vote of thanks to the
chairman.
