MISCELLANEOUS.

In Sharpe's Magazine for June we find abundant
matter of interesting entertainment. From the eon--
tinuathn of " Deborah's Diary," weituote the follow-
ing very practically truthful remarks :—" 'We should
be very cautious how we cut off another person's
pleasures. 'Tis an easy thing 'to say to them, You
are wrong, or foolish,' and so check them in their
pursuit; but what have we to give them that will
compensate for it ? How many harmless refresh
ments and refuges from sick and tired thought may
thus be destroyed ! We may deprive the spider of
his Web, and the robin of his neat, but can never re-
pair the damage to them. Let us live and let live;
leave me to hunt my butterfly, and Anne to catch
her bat."—An interesting article on " Christianity's
First Martyr," and another on the • "Lon-
don Prisons," are contained in Illacphail's
Edinburgh Journal.—Among a variety of valuable
contributions,- Chambers' has some delightful gossip-
ping sketches of " Social Life in France."—An inter-
esting page in the Farmers' Journal exhibits :the
ground •plan of some extensive farm buildings at
Trusthorpe, Lincolnshire. The Colonial Maga-
zine contains an article .worthy of perusal, on
the " dark side of Indian service," namely, as re-
ferred to in the furlough memorial.—The Patent
Journal and the London Repertory of Patent Inven-
tions abound in matter of scientific interest.--The
Rambler and the Catholic Register, independent of the
interest which it is to be presumed they possess for
the members' of that church to which they are more
especially addressed, contain many articles of general
interest.—The Public Good, the British Contro-
versalist, and some other claimants for public
favour now swell the already crowded ranks of the
monthly periodical literature. Among them all we
must not omit to mention the most graceful, namely,
Le follet, which is as charming as ever.

FINE ARTS.
PORTRAIT OF MR. MACREADE

A wonderfully characteristic likeness of this dis-
tinguished artist—whose name must long continue
illustrious as that of one of our most classic trage-
dians—has just been issued from the establish-
ment of Mr. J. S. Welch, 24, St. James's-
street. Both the lithographic draughtsman,
N. Ploszczynski, and the lithographic printers,
M. and N. Hanhart, have tasked their skill
to the uttermost in portraying the features of the
great actor as they have been delineated by the
master-hand of Mr. J. Deffett Francis. The trage-
dian is represented in one of his most celebrated im-
personationS, the Werner of Lord Byron's drama..
His exclamation—" Who says that? "—is expressed by
the artist in every latent nerve and muscle of that flexile
and elcquent countenance. The whole viiage seems
to be actually working and palpitating with sup-
pressed emotions. The grasp of the hand, 'the Waving'
cf the hair, the flash of the eye, the fierce protrusion
of the under-lip, are all accessories to the utterance of
the innate emotion ; and the brush of the painter has
with surprising felicity realised in a portraiture that
living and breathing reality whose genius has so often
inspired enthuiiasm among his innumerable auditors.
The plate, we observe, is appropriately inscribed to
Sir Thomas Noon Talfourd, perhaps of all men living
about.the best qualified to appreciate the ability,' and
in appreciating the ability to estimate the likeness of
his friend, William Charles Macready.

PORCHESTER CASTLE.—A grand national gala, in
honour of the inauguration of the colossal statues of Nelson.
and Wellington, took place in this picturer9ue locality on
the 18th inst., under the experienced and liberal superin-
tendence of Mr. Ellis, the late lessee et
,Cremorne. Gardens.
Instrumental and vocal music; a balloon ascent by that
" Columbus of the skies," Lieutenant Gale; dancing on the
circular platform, a la Cremornc, and in the Salle de Dansc;
the wonderful abilities of that talented young artiste the
" India-rubber" Wright, whose pantomimic excellence was
so highly and deservedly appreciated at the Princess's
Theatre last season; a vaudeville; a ballet by the Stilt
family, together with brilliant illuminations, constituted the
• attractions of the evening ; the whole being wound up with
a splendid display of fireworks by Mortram, in which every feu
d' artifice known in pyrotechuy was magniicently developed.
No pains were spared in the management of the fete, which
passed off to the complete satisfaction of a vast concourse of
visitors, and in a manner fully worthy of any of the metro-
politan public gardens.
This evenirt; his Excellency the Nepaulese Am-
bassador and suite intend honouring Cremorne with. a visit,
and no doubt that popular place of amusement will present
an linusafilly gay and brilliant appeal-Alice. In addition to
the ordinary interesting exhibitions at those gardens, we
believe Lieutenant the eminent resonant, makes an
ascent in his balloon, and will perform his daring teat of de-
scending by means of a single rope from the upper to the
lower car.

GaAND ENTERTAINMENT TO THE DIGNITARIES OF
THE CHURCH, AT THE MANSION BOUSE.—Yesterday the
Lord Mayor gave a splendid entertminment to the prelates
and a number cf the other dignitaries of the Church, upon
the occasion of the anniversary of the meeting of the arch..
bishops, the bishops, and clergy, for the propagation of the
Gospel in foreigu parts. The banquet was laid out in the
Egyptian Wall.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

OPENING OF THE SOUTH WALES

CHEPSTOW, WEDNESDALL ThiS line was opened
to-day for public traffic. The formal opening yester-
day afforded apfrfect triumphal day, and the occasion
was celebrated in a most magnificent manner. The
special train started' from this town, the present
eastern terminus, at nine o'clock', A. 14 to proceed to
Swansea. The event was regardecras a national one,
and in every town and village on, the route the day
was ascend as a close holiday. 'lmmense multitudes
assembled on the margin of the new railway, extend-
ing for a distance of seventy-five miles : banners
floated from every available position ; the ships in the
several ports of Chepstow, Newport, Cardiff, Port
Talbot, Neath and Swansea, were decked out in like
manner, and at every station on the line wreaths of
flowers and evergreens abounded, and triumphal
arches were as thick as trees of liberty are found in
the streets of Paris after an overthrow of dynasty.
The journey downwards occupied four hours, in
consequence of the numerous addresses of congratti
lation presented to the directors by the local autho-
rities. In every corporate town the utmost hospi-
tality on the part of the authorities and the inha-
the old and almost forgotten
gs of the day. On the
bsit,jauntitislmvaarlk.esedittalille,,yarypecedin
pleasures of coach travelling are revived, the line
being, for considerable runs on a level with low
lards, stretching out to the Severn and Bristol
Channel on onehand, and beautiful undulating hills
and mountains on the other. The traveller is enabled
to enjoy the glorious scenery around him almost as
much in detail as if he travelled on the box of the Car-
marthen mail, the route being the same..
The train stopped at all the. stations, of which
there are eight between Chepstow and Sivansea, be-
sides the termini. The first is a third-class station,
Portskewet, five miles from Chepstow. From hence
to Newport, the next station, is twelve miles, part of
the distance over a flat moor, the line running on a
level for 'a considerable distance. On leasing Newport
a tunnel about half a mile long presents itself ; the
train proceeded through it slowly both in the journey

on miles. This is a rising town, and s(to-
gether with Newport and Swansea) will derive great
benefit 'from the opening of this railway. A new
steam-packet company has just been formed at Car-
diff, for establishing a superior class of vessels on the
following the Tiff river

from Port Talbot station to Neath 51 miles, and from
Neath to Swansea 8 miles. The Laxnlore viaduct,
approaching the Swansea static.; is: a stupendoua
work, and has an imposing appearance.' It passes on
ti aextensive curve over the low grOundS, containing
some large copper smelting,
works, and is commanded
by some lofty hills, on which thousands of persons
had assembled to witness the approach of the train.
At Swansea the most extensive arrangement a had
been made for the opening. Busineesewas totally
suspended, and all the shops closed, wjille the streette
were densely crowded. The sight altogether was
most gratifying; and although there was necessarily
some confusion, thsre was nothing like disorder, r • •
was a drunken man visible in the streets. On the
arrival of the train such a shout arose as made the
welkin ring, and it was re-echoed from the mountain
tops and far-off heights.
The required ceremonies performed, after some
delay, the next point of attraction was the banquet.
For this only a limited number of tickets (690) were
at first issued, hut this number was- afterwards in-
creased, notwithstanding utany parties were
disappointed, and as much as 30s. were offered for
tickets, the original price for gentlemen's tielosts being
12,e 61., Indies 75. 61. A goodly number of Indies
attended, awl when all were seated the scene was an
imposing one. There could not have been less than
730 present; among others, the Mayor of Swansea,
Mr. James Peol (in the chair), Lord James Stuart,
Viscount Villiers, M.P., Sir John Guest, Bart., M.P.,
Mr. Talbot, M.P., Mr. Vivian, M.P., R. Fothergill,

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

HAMPTON RACES.—WEDNESDAY.
The programme, of which we gave an outlir.e on Toes-
day, proved that the lessees of the Hurst bad acted wisely
in placing the management in the hands of a party whose
official connexion with all the great meetings was a gun.
rantee of something better than the public had been so
long accustomed to under the " Parsonian" system. A
change was visible last year, and that it was appreciated
Was shown not less by a general improvement in the
character of the stakes provided for the present meeting,
than by the acceptance of the stewardship by two of the
most influential members of the Jockey Club—the Mar-
quis of Exeter and Sir Joseph Hawley. The card for
yesterday embraced five events, two of them in heats,
which, if they are to be tolerated at all, must not, we
presurnr, be objected to at Hampton; one race of the
kind, however, we submit to the authorities, would have
been quite sufficient. The weather having turned out
extremely favourable, the special trains from Waterloo-
bridge were patronised to an extent which could not
have been anticipated. We never saw so large an at-
tendance on a first day. Besides many other distin-
guished persons, there were present k's Royal Highness
Prince George of Cambridge, Marquis of .Exeter, Mar-
quis of Drogheda, Lord Burleigh, Lord Andover, Lord
W. Powle tt, Lord Dankellin, Hon. Captain Roes,
Hon. Major Boyle, Hon. H. Forester, Hon. F. Lawley,
Sir J. Hawley, Sir T. Burke, General Charritie, Colonel
Peel, Captain Little, Captain Carleton, Captain Pettat,

Little Jack and Docility to the back of the course,
a here Docility went to the front, and led, without much
improving the speed, to the last turn. From this point

day, but, although the day was admirably suited for en
excursion, there was too little wind to teat the weatherly
powers of the yacht. The Gem steamer had been char-
tered by the club, for the conveyance of members and
their friends, and left London-bridge at half past nine,
with a highly-respectable party on board, which was
considerably augmented at Blackwell.
The following; yachts had been entered to contend:--,
1. Whisper, 19 tons, Thomas Eveleigh, Esq ; blue,
white, and red.
9. Linnet, 10 tons, Holies Knox, Esq.; white, red ho: der

•
with blue cross.
3. Rival, 10 tons, J. T. Helms, Esq.; red, orange, and

. .
blue. _
4. Alligator, 20 tons, Henry J. Smith, Esq.; red with
white stripe, and a horse rampant.
5. Frolic, 12 tons, Alfred Cox, Esq.; r:d and white

stripes.
6. Moor Park, 17 tons, George E. Browne, Esq ; three
golden lilies, red ground.
7. Phantom, 20 tons, S. Lane, Esq.; white, red border.
It was a time race, one minute per ton being allowed
by all yachts exoeeding tea tons to those not exceeding
it, yachts not exceeding thirteen tons to allow half
minute per ton to those of lesser tonnage. The challenge
cup bad been originally presented to the club by J. T.
Hewes, Esq., and was held by Mr. E. Browne, the
owner of the Moor Pork, the conditions of the race re-
quiring that it should be won two consecutive seasons by
the same 3-acht to become the permanent property of the
owner. The distonce to be sailed was frora Biackwr.il to
Gravesend find back.

The whole of the boats were at their stations on tne
arrival of the steamer, with the exception of tae Linnet,
which had been withdrawn. The Whiliper and 'Frolic
nearly divided the favouritism, the success of the former
in gallantly carrying oft' one of the privs in the match
of the Royal Thames Yacht Club on the :ith inst. de-
servedly placed her high in request; but the pretty sail-
ing of the =Frolic, a
vessel belonging to the btrlni dis-
tinguished club, on many
occasions when there W3S
scarcely a capful of wind, as well as in stronger weather,
induced speculators upon the event to look upon
her as a very formidable rival. The Phantom neat fled
the call, while it was declared by a tolerable section t

water was as smooth as a well-kept bowling-green,
the yachts being indebted to the tide under them for

anything like their tardy progress. At the Half-way
House a gentle breeze sprung up from the northward,
and thence westwarded, which rendered the match of a
more iuteresting character, and some very pretty sailing
occurred amonest the little fleet, but another lull
brought them again to almost a stand-still, and it was
feared they would not, reach the distance, but Sol
haviitg retired fur a short time a new breeze gladdened
the hearts of the crews, and soon put them within sight
of the flag-buoy off Gravesend, but as the tide had
then commenced making up, the three leading heats
performed a somewhat tedious operation (the Probe
and Phantom haring passed and re-passed each other),
in working over the flood to arrive at it; in effecting
which, owing to their hugging the shore on the
Gravesend side, the Phantom for a moment or so
caught the ground, and the Whisper, which was at the
time eagerly disputing the honour of the second plate,
went some yards in advance.
The three leading boats rounded at Gravesend in the
following order : h. min. sec.

After rounding they all set square sails, and each be-
gan to make the best of their way beck. The advan-
tage which the Frolic had at the rime of rounding left
bet little doubt, from her well-known powers, barring
accidents, of success. There was nothing worthy of
record in the passaeo up. All the boats were admi-
rably handled, and arrived at Blackw•all in the follow.

The very handiome pr fn was duly presented to Mr.
Alfred Cox, the owner of the Frolic, by the Rear• Co-
mmodores. with a very deserved compliment upon the nau-
ticall skill of all parties. Tao Royal Thames Yacht Club
and other toasts having been done ample justice to, tl••

pany before dnsk. The officers of the club were unre-
mitting, in their Lttcnticn to the comfort of their guests.
There was an abundance ef the choicest viands prepared
by Mr. Cooper, the steward; and a very good quadrille
band, which was kept in tolerably sharp exercise during
the whole evening.
