SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHAMPTON AND PYTCHLEY HUNT
RACES.—YESTERDAY.
O❑ our arrival at this sporting locality yesterday
morning, we were gratified to find that the promised
alterations in and on the race-course had been carried
out to an extent, and with a completeness, highly to the
credit of the inhabitants and their representatives, the
Stewards, and Race Committee. The running ground
has been widened twenty feet, and the turns, formerly
so awkward, if not positively dangerous, so greatly im-
proved, as to leave 110 possible cause of complaint.
Trainers and jockeys are alike loud in their commenda-
tions. The improvements have not been confined to the
course : at an outlay of 1,600 L, a sightly and commo-
dious edifice, within a spacious enclosure, has taken the
place of the ricketty affair that so long passed muster as
a Graad Stand, to the disgrace of the county and the
discomfort—if not to the peril—of those who, from lack
of a better, were constrained to patronise it. The
new building is capable of holding near 1,500
persons, affords a most excellent view of the races, and
abounds with conveniences, as well for the visitors as for
those professionally engaged. In all other departments
of the management, a spirit has developed itself that has
propitiated many influential residents who had pre-
viously been lukewarm in their support, and cannot fail
to give the Northampton a place amongst the best of our
provincial meetings. ~The races, which are wisely
limited to two days, commenced yesterday, with favour-
able weather, a full and fashionable company, and a bill
of fare satisfactory alike in amount and variety. With
a punctuality that bespoke a determination to adopt one
of the many improvements effected under the Bentinck
system, the bell rang at a quarter before the time fixed
for starting, and at one o'clock exactly the horses quitted
the post for

ST. STEPHEN'S, WALBROO
Notice of a vestry meeting for the election of 01,4
wardens and other officers of the parish havingoi
given in the regular form, for Thursday, the 270104
in the forenoon, another notice was affixed to the j,,i
door on Easter Sunday, calling a vestry meeting
the purpose of electing parish officers, On,. 00
Michael Gibbs and Thomas Whittaker. As t'elto
notice was given without the consent of the rector'
is by law essential to the validity of all meetinge,vo
kind, the following protest was fixed on the chtirci',.oo
and copiei of it were sent to Michael Gibbs and TP
Whittaker 0
" St. Stephen's, Walbrook, March 24,10
" The rector of the parish having observed
church door a notice for a vestry meeting oti ,70
Tuesday, signed Michael Gibbs and Thomas Wil_,lloo
hereby protests against that meeting, as being soo'w_AM
without the rector's consent, and therefore con D:
law. " GEORGE CROLY, 141:.(4,0d)
The authorities on which this protest was 1""nbel!
were-Ist, the opinion of Dr. Phillimore, given °rung
on the point—namely, "The usual, and thereforetiodi
ordinary circumstances, the preferable courso je of pw
churchwardens to give notice for the holding
h,oir
vestry, but, in so doing, they are ministerial to 1;0'
cumbent, and they are bound to consult his wis 0
fore they do so."—And also " Steer's Parish-I°p
267. Notices for church matters, regularly, are of t 0
called by the churchwardens, with the consent f fit
minister. There is also an express judgMenft 0%00
John Nicholl to the same effect. No question°
law is more incontestable.
Notwithstanding this protest Mr. Michael Gibblijer
Mr. Thomas Whittaker presented themselves in the to
try-room at ten on Easter Tuesday. The reetnritboil

once more declared that the meeting was held ir1;11,
his consent, and therefore illegal ; and Pdr•
Gibbs, without adverting to this protest, detsoli
that all persons not members of the select vestry 9,1:
retire, which the parishioners present declined to Pity
Mr. Thomas Whittaker then said, " I move tinoll
select vestry do adjourn to the Lord Mayor's trj
residence, 33, Walbrook." Mr. Eddison then 81" id oP
second the motion." Mr. Michael Gibbs then keo
his hand, declared the motion carried, and they If
vestry-room ; Mr. Thomas Whittaker retur?l'veil
" invite the rector to follow them." To ell'eti ado
rector replied, " I invite you, sir, to stay
here an
your duty." •nsfi'
[Thus ended the meeting, in which but three2A
duals, calling themselves select vestrymen, app kept
thus the parish, now for the third year, is to be k
the same state of confusion, which is already s° tld
known to the public. Three individuals are to 11,11°Geigio
election of the parish officers, and if Mr. Mieba°,'
shall so please, it will be in his power to be re-eAeLe,,ors
the same easy and independent style to the last 'JO
his natural life. This is the twenty-third year 00
holding the same. Since the period when the 8a tir
of his stewardship, during nineteen years Infesi'
wards, was demanded by a bill in Chancery—an of bd
gation which is still only in progress—no accoull.,o Pr
conduct of the parish moneys has been given to ?ditiP
rishioners, the whole of the parochial income beglt%
in the hands of Mr. Michael Gibbs. We ree°.'llo°

The whole affair is extraordinary, but the stu"t •.trr,

The prominent advantages of this sy•tern of Atmospheric traction,
are, that the continuous valve Is dispensed with ; roads are crossed
a.'on a level without interruption of main ; one atmospheric railway
can be intersected by another, thus saving bridges, approaches, and
leakage ; and a stationary engine every tell miles is sufficient.
The system combines extreme simplicity wills extreme efficiency,
and that obtained with a small comparative expense in working and
construction.
It is estimated that a saving altogether upon the other plans of
Atmospheric Railways (having the continuous valve) will be nearly
3,0001. per mile ; two:mains or lines call, on this plan, be laid down
for little-more than the cost of one, upon the other plan.
Increased safety is insured, also Obstruction end destruction by
weather and other sources arc placed beyond probability by the
mains being buried, &c.
The objects of the Company are to purchase the Patentee's right
for the United Kingdom, to grant licences to Railway and Canal
Companies to use the invention, or lay down the works under con-
tracts with the different Companies ; and, in the first place, to pro-
cure an experimental line in the neigh'. ourhood of the metropolis, if
forted desirable.
The source of Income is unlimited, and the expenses, with the ex-
ception of the purchase of the Patents, and laying down the experi-
mental line, must necessarily be merely nominal.

certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently

remarks abound with good sense, and his occasional
deviations from impartiality must. be attributed rather
to his national propensity, and to his admiration of
the hero of the work, than to wilful misrepresenta-
tion. He draws characters with a masterly hand, in
a few words paints to the life their defects and their
virtues, and in the narration of a tragical ever.t
stands unrivalled. As proofs of these historical
abilities, we subjoin the characters of two or three
leading men of that period, with those of Napoleon's

M. Fouche, charged to exercise this power, formerly an
Oratorian and a Conventionalist, was an intelligent and
a crafty personage, neither good nor wicked, well ac-
quainted with men, especially the bad, and despising
them; employing the funds of the police in supporting
the agents of troubles as much as in watching them;
always ready to pracure bread or a place for every per-
son weary of political agitations; thus making friends
for the Government, and more especially for himself;
creating for himself obliged dependents, far superior to
credulous and deceitful spies, who never failed to inform
him of everything that it was his interest to know;
having persons under obligations to him in all the par-
ties, even among the Royalists, whom he knew how to
manage, and to repress at the right time; always fore-
warned, never overrating danger, nor exaggerating it to
his master; clearly distinguishing an imprudent man
from one really to be feared, plowing when to caution
the one. to proceed against the other; in short, managing
the police better than it was ever managed, for it con-
sists in disarming animosities as much as in repressing
them; a superior minister, if he had had elevated inten-

CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY GAS METERS.
DEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully
stood the tests six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use,
they have been adopted by the official authorities of the Houses of
!ornament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office,
Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other
Clab-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many
other largo establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of
gas have passed through some of these meters without regula-
tion or repair, aad which are still working to the entire satisfaction
of the pa company and consumers.
All gas consumers who study economy and a good light arc invited
to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from
the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im-
perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Deilles's Dry
Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his
meters.
Testimonials from the most eminent and scientific men and large
consumers can be had on application (or will be firwarded by pest),

CHANGES.

tions, if his indulgence had sprung from any other prin-
ciple than an indifference to good and evil, if his activity
had proceeded from any other motive than a passion for
interfering in everything, which rendered him irksome
and suspicious to the First Consul, and frequently gave
him the appearance of a vulgarintriguer. For the rest,
his intelligent but ignoble countenance, was a faithful
mirror of the qualiiies and vices of his soul. . . .
M. de Talteyrand descended from a family of the
noblest lineage, destined by his birth for the army,
doomed to the priesthood by an accident, which deprived
him of the use of one foot, having no liking for this im-
posed profession, successively bish )13, courtier, revo-
lutionist, and emigrant, then afterwards minister for
foreign affairs under the Directory. M. de Talleyrand had
retained something of all these different states ; there
was to be found in him a touch of the bishop, of the man
of quality, and of the revolutionist. Having no firmly
fixed opinion, but only a natural moderation, which wets
opposed to every species of exaggeratiol ; capable of
entering at once into the feelings of those whom he
wished to please, either from liking or from intereet ;
speaking a unique language peculiar to that society which
had Voltaire for instructor ; full of smart, poignant re-
partees, which rendered him as formidable as he was
attractive ; by turns caressing or disdainful, demon-
strative or impenetrable ; careless, dignified, lame with-
out loss of gracefulness, in short, one of the most ex-
traordinary personages, and such a one as a revolution
alone can produce, he was the most seducing of negotia-
tors, but at the same time incapable of directing, as head,
the affairs of a great state ; for every leader should pos-
sess a resolute will, settled views, and application, and
he had none of these. His will was confined to pleas-
ing, his views consisted in the opinions of the moment,
his application was next to nothing. In a word, he was
an accomplished ambassador, but not a directing minis-
ter : be it understood, however, that this expression is
to be taken in its most elevated acceptation. For the
rest, he held no other post under the ConFular Govern-
ment. The First Consul, who allowed no person the
right to give an opinion on the affairs of war and of diplo-
macy, merely employed him to negotiate with the Foreign
Ministers, on basis previously prescribed, and this M. de
Talleyrand did with an art that will never be surpassed.
He possessed, however, a moral merit, that of being fond
of peace under a master who was fond of war, and of
showing that he was so. Endowed with exquisite taste,
uniting with it unerring tact, and even a useful indo-
lence, he was able to render real services, by simply op-
posing to the First Consul's exuberance of language, pen;
and action, his sobriety, his perfect moderation, and his
very propensity to do nothing. But he made little im-
pression on that imperious master, from whom he ex-
torted no respect either by genius or by conviction.
Thus he had no more empire than M. FouchC:, nay, even
less, though quite as much employed, and more agree-
able. .

The First Consul prized the plain good sense of M.
Fouebe, relished the graces of M. de Talleyrand, but
absolutely believed neither the one nor the other on any
subject, and, as fir his confid:nee. had given that, given
it wholly and entirely, but not to either of those to o men—
to his colleague Cambac6rs. The latter, with an under-
standing far from brilliant, had extraordinary good
sense, and an unbounded attachment to the First Consul.
Having trembled for ten years of his life under pro-
scribers of all sorts, he loved, with a kind of affection,
the powerful master, who at length procured him the
faculty of breathing at his ease. He loved his power,
his genius, his person, from which he had not received,
and hoped never to receive, anything but favours. Ac-
quainted with the weaknesses of men, even of the greatest,
he counselled the First Consul, as one ought to counsel
when one wishes to be attended to, with perfect sincerity,
with extreme discretion, never for the purpose of show-
ing off his own wisdom, but always to be serviceable to
a Government which he loved as dearly as himself,
always approving of all its acts in public, whatever they
might be and never disapproving of them but in pri-
vate, in an absolute tote-a Cts with the First Consul;
keeping silence when there was no good to be done, and
when censure could be but a vain pleasure of finding
fault ; sure to speak his mind, and with a courage highly
meritorious in a man so extremely timid, when be was
in time to prevent a blunder, or influence the general
conduct of affairs. And, as if a character %%Melt is in-
cessantly under self-restraint must needs be betrayed
into some weakness, the consul Cambace I exhibited a
puerile vanity with his inferiors, lived with some subal-
tern courtiers, who paid him fulsome homage, walked
every day in the Palais Royal, in a ridiculously magni-
ficent dress, and sought, in the gratification of a gour-
mandise that has become proverbial, pleasures which
were suited to his vulgar but prudent soul. Of what
consequence, however, arc a few foibles, redeemed by
superior reason I
The First Consul cheerfully forgave these foibles in
his colleague, and made much of him. He appreciated
that superior good sense, which never wished to shine
but to be useful, and which threw a tempered and true
light upon everything. lie appreciated, above all, the
sincerity of his attachment, laughed at his weaknesses,
but always with delicacy, and paid him the very high
compliment of confiding everything. to him alone, of
never being concerned but about his judgment. Hence,
he was susceptible of no influence but his--an influence
scarcely suspected, and on that account very great. . .
To convey an accurate idea of the circle surround
ing the First Consul, we must say a word concerning his
family. lie had four brothers, Joseph, Lucien, Louis,
and JiS:ome. The two latter we shall notice in due time.
Joseph and Lucien only were then of any importance.
Joseph, the eldest of all, had married the daughter of a
wealthy and respectable merchant of Marseilles. He
was mild, tolerably acute, agreeable in person, and
caused the brother less vexation than any of the others.
It was for him that the First Consul reserved the honour
of negotiating the peace of the Republic with the states
of the old and the new world. Ile had charged him to
conclude the treaty which had been signed with Ame-
rica, and bad just appointed him plenipotentiary to
Lue6ville, thus seeking to assign to him a part which
should be popular in France. Lucien, at present Mi-
nister of the Interior, was a clever man, but of unequal
mind, restless, ungovernable, and, though possessing
talent, not having sufficient to make amends for what he
wanted in point of good :tense. Both flattered the pro-
pensity of the First Consul to raise himself to the su-
preme power ; and this was but natural. The genius of
the First Consul, like his glory, were things personal to
himself ; one quality only could be transmissible to his
family, that was the princely quality, if he should one
day assume it, in preference to that of first magistrate
of the Republic. hits brothers were amongst those who
asserted, with least reserve, that the present form of
government was but one of transition, devised to lull
revolutionary prejudices ; but that he ought to make
up his mind, and that if he wished to found something
truly stable, it was indispensably necessary to introduce
greater concentration, unity, and durability. The drift
of all this was very evident. The First Consul, as every
ens knows, had no children, which greatly embarrassed
those who already dreamt of the transformation of the
republic into a monarchy. It was, in fact, an inconsis-
tency to pretend to be desirous of insuring the regular
and natural transmission of the supreme power in the
family of a man who had no heirs. Thus though,
hereafter, this default of heirs might be a personal ad-
vantage for the brothers of the First Consul, it was now
an argument against their projects, and they frequently
reproached Madame Bonaparte for a misfortune, of
which, they said, she was the cause. Having quarrelled
with her, from sheer jealousy of her influence, they had
not spared her in conversation with her husband, and
persecuted her with their remarks, incessantly and loudly
repeating that it was absolutely necessary for the First
Consul to have a wife who should bring him children,
that this was not a private but a public consideration,
and that a resolution on this point was indispensable, in
order to insure the future welfare of France. They
caused these cruel sentiments, pregnant with the most
sinister consequences for her, to be repeated by all
lips. The wife of the First Consul, apparently FO for-
tunate, was, therefore, at this moment, tory far from
happy.
eahine Bonaparte, who had been married first to
the Count de Beauharnais, then to the young general
who had saved the Convention on the lath Vende-
miaire, and now shared with him a place which began
to resemble a throne, was a Creole by birth, and had
all the graces, all the defects, usual in women who are
so born liind-hearted, profuse, and frivol )us, not a
beauty, but perfectly elegant, raid endowed with infinite

fascination, she could please much more than women
who were sap-I.i rto her in understanding and personal
charms. The levity of her conduct, d .pieted to her
husband in the most unfavourable colours when he re-
turned from Egypt, filled him with anger. He had
th ughts of separating himself from a wife whom, right
or wrong, lie believed to be culpable. She wept a long
time at his feet ; her two children, Hortense and Eugene
Beauharnais, both very dear to General Bonaparte, wept
too ; he was overcome, and yielded to a conjugal ten-
derness which, for many years, was with him paramount
to policy. Ile forgot the real or alleged faults of
Josephine ; he loved her still, but not as in the early
period of their union. The unbounded extravagancy,
the vexatious imprudences, in which she daily indulged,
frequently excited in her husband gusts of impatience
which ho could not repress ; but he foigave her with
the kindness which prosperity inspires, and could not
long be angry with a woman who had shared the trst
moments of his nascent greatness, and who, from the
day of their union, seemed to have brought Fortune
along with her.

11111=e Bonaparte was altogether a woman of the
an,/en regime, devout, superstitious, nay, a royalist, de-
testing what she called the Jacobins, who hated her in
return ; seeking only the society of the ancient nobility,
who, returning in throngs, as we have said, ilsed to visit
her in the morning. They had known her the wife of
an honourable man, pretty high in rank and military
standing, the unfortunate Beauharnais, who died on the
revolutionary scaffold ; they found her the wife of a
pal vow, but of a parrenu more powerful than any prince
in Europe ; they did not hesitate to go and solicit
favours, while affecting to look down upon her. She
was eager to make them partakers of her power, and to
render them services. She even took pains to excite in
them a sort of illusion which they were fond of indulg-
ing, that, in reality, General Bonaparte was only wait-
ing for a favourable occasion to recal the Bourbons, and
to restore the inheritance which belonged to them.
And, singularly enough, this illusion, which the de-
lighted to instil intl them, she would almost fain hero
shared herself ; for she would rather have seen her hus-
band a subject of the Bourbons, but a subject tho pro-
tector of his kings, surrounded by the homage of the
ancle;:t French aristocracy, than crowned monarch by
the hand of the nation. She was a very faint-hearted
woman. Though giddy, she loved that man who covered
her with glory, and loved him the more since she was
less beloved by him.

NOVELTIES, INVENTIONS, AND

The rage for novelty is the pervading passion of all
classes of Londoners. They are the most exigeant
people in the world in this respect, and the inventive
faculties of cur artists, manufacturers, and crafts
men must be sorely taxed to find the wherewithal
to gratify this restless entichement. The fair and
graceful deniems of Mayfair, the "travelled
beaux" who throng the stately Fa!ons of Holder-
ness House, or Devonshire House, the fat
and greasy citizens, and the plodding tradesman
who drives hebdomadaliy in his gaudy phaeton
to his cottage, with a double coach-house on Clapham-
common, arc one and all equally affected by this de-
sire. If novelty ca❑ be combined with utility,
ant micux, but if not, the masa of useleis frivolities,
which are to be found in our shop windows, bear
ample evidence of the facility with which this taste
may be gratified.
Some graceful novelty, which is invariably com-
bined with utility and elegance, is always to be found
at that vast establishment in Regent-street, near to
the Quadrant, which is occupied by Messrs. Nicoll.
The inventive powers of the artist who presides over
this temple of fashion are always at work. The rami-
fications of his far-spreading fame extend into every
capital of Europe. The gorgeous East is ransacked
to furnish the costly materials for the rich waistcoats
which are laid out in such sumptuous profusion on his
counters, and the magnificence of his numerous robes
de chmbre is also the object of general attention. He
has recently introduced a new species of coat, which is
called his " Registered Paletot," and after much
trouble, and a considerable display of ingenuity, he
has succeeded in constructing a garment which will
be equally avai►able for the equestrian or pedestrian.
England is undoubtedly burthened with no great
debt of gratitude to her sapient legislators, but
amongst the few good " Acts" which they have re-
cently passed is one which empowers inventors to ap-
propriate to themselves, durinc, the space of three
years, the profits arising from the sale of the invented
article, and this will fortunately enable Mr. Nicoll
to derive some benefit from his ingenuity. The ma-
terial from which these garments are " built," is
woven from the wool of the llama, and is of a pecu-
liarly soft and silken description. The application of
the various substances which are used as linings, will
render this paletot suitable for either summer or win-
ter wear.

In Edward-street, Portman-square, there dwells a
Schneider, bight Wilson, who has conceived the
happy idea of lining coats and sailing jackets with air
bags filled with blow-pipes. If the wearer find him-
self in any unpleasant predicament which involves the
possibility of his being suddenly immersed in gurgite
vasto, he can instantly inflate himself up to such a
bueyancy, that nothing but a cork could compete
with him; and after having puffed himself up like
the frog in the fable, he turns a small screw to keep
him " in wind," and can then calmly and philosophi-
cahy await the impending danger in all the air-tight
consciousness of security. " Every man his own
Humane Society" seems to be Mr. Wilson's motto ;
rowers who avail themselves of his invention may
venture forth in frail wager-boats w ithout having be-
fore their eyes the dread of all that—
" horrid, apparatus
By which folks are unsuffocatcd gratis."

. -
And the security afforded by these sailing jackets,
will he no inconsiderable addition to the pleasures of
yachting. These air-bags may be fitted into any coat
for a comparatively trifling sum. It has been hitherto
said that drowning men catch at straws, but if any
man on board a sinking boat were discovered to pos-
sess one of these life-preserving garments, his fellow-
passengers would find something more substantial to
" catch at " than a mere rnorceau de paille.
The numerous washes and cosmetics with which
the faded beauties of former days vainly sought
to restore the charms of their youth, were laid
aside simultaneously with patches, hoop petti-
coats, &c. They were shot down by the
fire of Pope and Swift's satirical artillery. But
the teeth and hair are, unfortunately, subject
to many of those ills which flesh is heir to, and
the whole civilised world bears testimony to the effi-
cacy and restorative power in several of Messrs. Row-
land's inventions. It were vain to speak of their
Kalydor or Odonto, since the whole periodical press
teems with their praises. The best proof of their
real excellence is to be found in the numerous imita-
tions of these articles, which renders extreme caution
necessary ; otherwise, the unwary purchaser will
duped, and find his toilette table covered with useless,
and, perhaps, injurious compounds. In Paris, how-
ever, the ladies are not content with these adjuncts to
beauty. They place but little reliance in the power
of those charms which the Arab chiefs lately declared
had put the sun out of countenance. They call in
the aid of all those artificial adornments of jewellery
and bijouterie with which Al. Piot tempts his fair cus-
tomers. What numbers of coroneted carriages now
" stop the way" on the broad and noble Boulevard
des Italiens, at the establishment which he has re-
cently opened near to the Opera Comique ! The se-
lection of jewellery which English ladies have
brought to this country from M. Piot's shop, speaks
volumes in favour of his taste, judgment, and work-
manship. Whatever be the epithets which M. Thiers
may think fit to apply to England, M. Piot has as-
suredry no right to talk about "perfide Albion," for
the natives of our isle flock in large numbers to the
establishment, and do not alloW a day to elapse after
their arrival in Paris without making extensive
cmplettes.—Post.

MORE GAME OUTRAGES.— Some nights ago,
gamekeeper named Bridges was told there were two well-
known poachers, named Rutter and Ashcroft, residing in
Bewdley Forest, in the Banc Wood, in the parish of
Mamble, near Cleobury Mortimer, upon which he and
his informant went in search of them. After waiting in
the neighbourhood of the wood for some time, without
seeing the poachers, Bridges and his companion parted
to return to their rest ective homes. Shortly afterwards
Bridges heard the report of a gun, and on going back he
saw the poachers coming out of the wood, upon which
he laid hold of one of them, in whose pocket he felt the
barrel of a gun. The latter then pullcd out the stock,
and struck Bridges on the head with such violence that
he fell to the ground senseless. Some time afterwards
consciousness returned, and he succeeded in reaching
Mamble, when Mr. Jones, surgeon, of Cleobury Morti-
mer, was called in, and that gentleman found he had
received a severe wound on the forehead, several inches
in length. We are happy to state that he is now in a
fair way of recovery. The poachers are supposed to have
made their way into Staffordshire, for they had not been
• taken when this account was sent to us.—A few nights
afterwards, William 'nett, who acted as gamekeeper in
the absence of Bridges, saw two Tenhury poachers,
named Baldwin and Williams, going towards the Forest
Cover, upon which he watched their motions, and shortly
