OXON."

That gentleman will attend as Chief Clerk twice in each

THE CHIEF CONSTRUCTOR OF THE NAVY.—The
United Service Gazette understands that this °Meer, now
re-secured to the navy, is to receive the dignity of C. 8.,
and that the papers have already been sent into the Trea-
sury for a tolerably liberal sum to be granted to Mr. Reed
as a reward for his numerous important inventions and
eminent services.

A NEW RECIPROCITY TREATY WITII CANADA.—
Secretary Seward has notified the Committee of Ways and
Means that he will regard their recent recommendation to
Cmgross to ascortain the views of Groat Britain in rela-
tion to a new Canadian treaty as sufficient authority for
him to open negotiations on the subject.
Mr. W. G. Grace's feat of scoring over 100 twice
in the same match is, as far as I know, without precedent
since 1817, at the beginning of July in which year, in a
match at Lords, between Sussex and Epsom, both sides
being strengthened by given men, William Lambert
scored 107 and 157 against the bowling of Howard and
Mr. Budd, two of the best in England.—Land and Water.
W. KING.—We are sorry to record the death of
this celebrated trainer, which took place at Alfriston,
Sussex, of Tll?S lay, last. Mr. King was in his forty-
seventh year, sad sufficed from disease of the kidneys.
lie was brought up is John Scott's stable, and was head
lad at Whitewall louse for some time. Shortly after-
wards, on marrying a Miss Tarlton, of Aintree, he became
landlord of the Salutation Inn at Doncaster, where his
agreeable manners made him a host of friends. His ability
as a trainer, for the resumption of which occupation ho
shortly seceded from hotolkeeping, needs very little com-
ment, as he twice trained Dolby, the winner of the Chester
Cup, for his owner. The wonderful success which he
had with Challenge, The Skipper, &0., belonging to Mr.
Richard Porter, for whom ho was training at the time of
his decease, must be quite fresh in the recollection of our
readers, and we can only say, "Requioscat in pace."
