( Further Particulars of Tuesday's Races.)
Handicap (Ist class)- Adrian went off with the lead, fol-
lowed by Joannina and Calmuck; Blankley waiting till near
the Duke's stand, where he went up to Adrian. and, after a
smart race, defeated him about a distance and a half from
home, lie then tackled Juanniva, and completed his per-
formances by beating her half a length, Morello was weighed
for, but did not run.
Handicap (2d class)—Quicksilver made running, followed
by all excepting St. Francis and Voluptuary, who laid toge-
ther on the lower side of the course. At the Duke's stand
these rwo trent to the front, and, after keeping with the
leading horses a few strides, went on by themselves, with
Surdrise and Maid of the Mill at their heels. A short dis-
tance from home Sr. Francis headed Voluptuary, and, after
a good race, won by half a length. Surprise and Maid of
the Mill were well up, and quite clear of the ruck.
£5O Plate—Lord Exeter's filly went away with a rattling
lead, nothing approaching within several lengths till they
reached the bustles, where T)rius joined her, the Seatnew
colt catching them at the turn of the lands. Tyrius waited
on the filly till within a distance of the chair, where he went
np, defeated he without an effort, won cleverly by a length,
and was claimed. Paraguay was fourth, but nothing was
near the two-sear-olds; which had the race to themselves
from beginning to end.
The weather ails delightfully light and mild, and the com-
pany numerous.

THE GREAT WESTERN.—This vessel sailed again for New
York at three p. m. on Saturday, with a heavy swell and
wind against her, blowing strongly S.S.W. There are 117
passengers; amongst them Judge Crane, and, as report says,
Signor Hervio Nano, the demon dwarf, and his lady. Im-
portant despatches from government for Lord Durham,
Governor-General of the Canadas, were brought on board
by a messenger at the moment of sailing, and committed to
the special care of Lieut. Hoskins, R.N., the commander of
the Great Western. There is a very valuable cargo of goods
(120 or 130 tons) in the Great Western, a large number of
boxes filled with silks, the debentures on which, from one
house in London, amounted to £3OO and upwards, and a
great quantity of Manchester goods in bales, one house in
that place having paid the company £2OO freight. She
carries also nearly 5000 letters, and a large number of news-
papers.

IMPROVEMENT IN BRASS INSTRUMENTS.--We have lately
seen and beard some brass instruments, constructed on a
principle which promises to enlarge their powers and extend
their usefulness to a much greater degree than any former at-
tempts have been able to accomplish. The limited scale of
the trumpet and horn have materially circumscribed their
employment in modern orchestral writing ; and the impossi-
bility of their following a composer rapidly from key to key,
has still further limited their agency. In the time of Purcell
and Handel!, the trumpet was a prominent orchestral and
solo instrument; but this character it has wholly lost. Se-
veral attempts have been made to overcome this defect, by
the employment of keys and valves; but these have all changed
the tone of the instrument to which they were applied, and
deprived the trumpet of its martial and spirit-stirring charac-
ter. The present invention may be described as a method of
instantly shortening or lengthening the tube of the trumpet,
horn, and trombone, or any other brass instrument. The me-
chanism is beautiful and simple; and the first impression, on
seeing it, is that of astonishn.ent that it should have escaped
all former inventors. When applied to the trumpet, it ena-
bles the performer to produce every semitone, from the bottom
to the top of the instrument, in rapid succession, with all the
freedom and fulness of tone of the common trumpet; the key
of the instrument being as completely changed as if a crook
was put on or off. The same remarks equally apply to the
born; in which the notes out of the scale are now produced
by inserting the hand into the bell of the instruent, and thus,
of necessity, changing and injuring its tone. In theimproved
horn, all these notes are easily produced, and a perfect equa-
lity and richness of tone secured. To the performer on the
trombone this invention is invaluable, as it will.give to his
execution both precision and rapidity unattainable on the
common slide-trombone. It is obvious that a discovery so
important will effect a considerable change and extension of
the employment of brass instruments in orchestras as well as
military bands. The improved instruments have been tried,
and their immediate adoption decided on, by the queen's pri-
vate band, and by nearly all the bands of the Household
Brigade. The inventor of this beautiful piece of mechanism
is a Mr. John Shaw, of Glossop, in Derbyshire; and we are
induced to give it all the publicity in our power, not only for
its intrinsic importance, but because of the modest and un-
pretending manner in which it was introduced to our notice.
—Spectator.
NOVEL Mona oe STEALING.—A young woman, named
Alice Caffery, was brought up at the New Bailey on Monday
last, charged with stealing under the following circum-
stances :—A little girl, about 10 years of age, living with
Mr. Todman, who keeps the King public-house, in Oldham-
street, stated that, on Friday morning, a woman came and
asked for change for half-a-crown, and for a glass of beer,
both of which she got, and went away without giving her the
half-crown. On r riday night, the prisoner came and played
the same trick; and on Saturday at noon, she came again,
and asked for some biscuits, and change for half-a-crown;
but witness then informed her master, who ran after the pri-
soner, and took her into custody. Hindley the officer, stated
that, when the prisoner was given into his custody, he
searched her pockets, and found three halfpenny-worths of
snuff and a pennyworth of tea ; and, as she said she had
bought the tea at a shop in Swan-street, he took her to the
shop, and the mistress said she had asked for a pennyworth
of tea and change for a crown, which were gotfor her, when
she took up the tea and the change, and was about to walk
off with them, but on being told that she had not given them
the crown, said, " Oh, then, I don't want change."—The
prisoner, who had nothing to say in her defence, was com-
mitted for one month.—Manchester Guardian.
THE LATE ACCIDENT AT NbßTHWlCH.—Severallabourers
having been regularly employed by Messrs. Astiton:4, to cleat
away the rubbish since the melancholy catastrophe of the
falling-in of their rock pit, in hopes of exricating from the
ruins the bodies of three men, who were known to be
buried underneath; on Thursday forenoon they succeeded
in getting out, at a depth of twenty yards from the surface,
Joshua Tomkinson, and on the day following, Friday, they
also got out the bodies of William Rayner and Thomas
Bates. It is still suspected that a man, a stranger, who was
serving the bricklayers on the premises when the fall took
place, or a short time before, is amongst the ruins, as he has
been missing, it is stated, ever since. Should this man for-
tunately prove safe, then the whole of the bodies will have
been recovered, after considerable fatigue and personal risk,
from the still falling in earth. The chasm is truly terrific to
look upon.—Chester Courant.
THE LATE FIRE AT Haeaow.—The fire, it has been as-
certained, was occasioned by the overheating of a hot air
stove, which, it appears, was intended to heat all the rooms.
of the extensive buildings. It was first heated on Saturday
last, when the flues were found to be very hot, and it was not
again used until Monday. It is supposed that the heat must
have ignited some of the light wood of the partition of one of
the rooms, which had for some time been kept closed, as it
was from that room that the flames first burst forth. The
whole of the front buildings occupied by Mr. Colenzo, being
composed of lath and plaster only, was soon one body of fire;
and bad not the, corridor communicating with the new build-
ing in the rear been cut away, they also must have been
consumed, the stables adjoining to them, belonging to Dr.
Wordsworth, being much damaged.
FATAL ACCIDENT IN A COAL MINE.—On Thursday last,
the roof in one of the coal-pits, belonging to Mr. Knowles,
at . Darcy Lever, partially gave way, and fell upon a man
named John Bullough, who was working near the place.
His fellow-workmen got to him almost immediately after-
wards, but he was quite dead. An inquest was held on the
body on Saturday, when the jury returned a verdict of " Ac-
cidental death,"

SHEFFIELD AND ROTHERHAM RAILWAY.—It is intended
by the directors to open this line of railway on 'Wednesday
next (this day), on which occasion the first train will start
from Sheffield at ten o'clock in the forenoon. A public
breakfast will take place at Rotherham in the forenoon ;
and at five in the afternoon there will be a public dinner at
the Tontine Inn, Sheffield, on the return of the train. Only
one side of the line will be then completed, the other being
now in a state of great forwardness.—Doncaster Gazette.
INTERESTING TO GEOLOGISTS.—We stated in our la s
publication, that the heavy rains which fell last week caused
the river Ribble to overflow its banks. Near to the Widow s,
the residence of R. Pilkington, Esq., a huge tree was washed
on shore; it measured fourteen yards in -length, and about
ten feet in girth, the girth being nearly uniform ; the tree must
therefore, a hen " a dweller of the forest," have been of im-
mense dimensions. The wood was quite in a state of de-
composition, and has doubtless been embedded in the sands
fur many years—perhaps ages.—Preston Chronicle.
THE QUEEN Dowacee.—The schooner Waterlily has ar
rived from the Mediterranean, bearing despatches from he
Majesty, the Queen Dowager, which were sent from he
Majesty's ship Hastings, on the 10th instant, then 50 mile
S.E. by E. of the Rock of Lisbon. We have much pleasur
in being able to state, that her Majesty was in the enjoysnen
of good health, and had suffered very little during her voy
age.—Court Gazette.
WlNnsott, OCT. 28.—Her Majesty attended divine service
this morning at the Chapel Royal, St. George. The Rev.
Mr. Proby (canon in residence) preached an excellent ser-
mon from the 3d verse of the 2d chapter of Genesis, "And
God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because that
in it he had rested from all his work which God created and
made." The noblemen and gentlemen of the royal house-
hold in waiting on her Majesty appeared in the Windsor
uniform. Her Majesty walked for an hour on the terrace of
the castle this afternoon with a large party, including Lady
Littleton, Lady Charlotte Copley, the Ladies Paget, Viscount
Melbourne, Earl of Uxbridge, Viscount Falkland, Earl of
Surrey, Admiral Sir Robert Otway, lion. Col. Cavendish,
and the lion. C. A. Murray.
STATE OF THE HOSIERY TRADE.—The demand for use-
ful gocds for the borne trade continues steady, and the glove
and fancy trades are brisk. The whole market is decidedly
better. The large sales of colonial wools in London, during
the past week, have gone off well, at an advance of from 2d.
to 3d. per lb. Low combing wools are in more request at an
advance of price, and teether skin is very scarce, and fetches
high prices.—Leicester Chronicle.
DESTRUCTIVE STORM IN LONDON —One of the most vio-
lent storms of wind that has been experienced in the metro-
polis and its vicinity for some years, came on on Monday
morning about two o'clock, and continued with unabated
violence, till past four o'clock. The wind blew front the
west, and immense destruction has been done to property
exposed to its violence. Chimney pots were blown down,
houses were partially unroofed, walls levelled, and trees up-
rooted in all directions. Several persons have been injured.
We have not heard of any lives having been sacrificed. The
loss at sea, we fear, must have been dreadful.
RADICAL DEMONSTRATION.—The radicals of Bolton, ac-
cording to public announcement, were to meet Feargus
O'Connor and the Rev. J. It. Stephens, at the Moses Gate
Railway Station, Farnworth, at half-past six o'clock last
evening, to escort them into the town by torch-light, to a
public meeting convened fur the purpose of appointing a de-
legate to the "National Convention!"
CALTION TO AUCTIONEERS.—At Killarney sessions, an
auctioneer proceeded for the amount of a lot sold by him.
Defendant demurred that the lot did not belong to the gen-
tleman whose effects were advertised for sale, and upon the
faith of which he had bid, but that the auctioneer had
introduced it amongst the other and better articles. The
process was dismissed by the court.--Limerick Chronicle.
THE CASE of STABBING AT ROCHDALE.—Dearden, who
was stabbed by the colliers, is still alive, but with very slen-
der hopes of recovery. The prisoners were brought before
the magistrates on Monday, and again remanded. Mr.
Chadwick, the magistrate, took Dearden's depositions on
the day after he was wounded, when the man swore that he
heard one of the colliers call out to the other, " D—ci him !
kill him, be is only an old soldier."— Manchester Guardian.
The Staffordshire Adrertiser of Saturday states that an ar
rangement has been come to between the promoters of the
proposed Extension Railway to Rugby, and the Grand Junc-
tion Company, by which that company is to become jointly
interested with the Manchester and Birmingham Company
in the railway.
An incident, which will throw, at least, for some time, cold
water over the coquetting between the King of the Barricade
and the Autocrat of the Russias, is the (reported) approach
ing marriage of the Duke de Leuchtenberg (the only remain -
ing son of Eugene Beauharuois) with the Princess Alexan-s
drina, eldest daughter of the emperor.
UNLICENSED SPORTSWOMEN.—A few days ago a lady wa
caught shooting near Leon, in company. with her husban
and two other sportsmen, who were furnished with licenses
but, as she was nut provided with this authorisation, she wa
condemned to pay a fine of 33 francs, and forfeit her fowling
piece, or redeem it by paying the additional suaa of 50 francs
STATE OF TRADE.—The speculative demand for cotton
at Liverpool, which has revived with great animation this
week, has rendered the market here very unsettled. The
holders of yarn are not generally willing to sell at former
prices; and the buyers, who feel no confidence in the main-
tenance of the recent advance in cotton, are equally unwil-
ling to give higher rates. The business done, we believe,
was chiefly at a slight advance in water twist, and at pre-
vious prices for mule. In goods there was little or no change.
Printing cloth, especially 27-inch, continues in good demand.
—Manchester Guardian.
THE ITINERANT HARDWARENIAN.—The following is a
scrap from an article under this title, by Alfred Crowquil, in
Sherwood's Miscellany :—" The next article he offered was a
brass chamber candlestick, with snuffers and extinguisher.
`There's an out-and-outer,' cried he, bright enough to light
you to bed without a candle—aiut it ashiner. In six mouths
you may save the price of it in soap, fuller's earth, and ;dais-
ter. For the dish will prevent the grease from falling on the
floor, and the light from breaking your shins against the
bed-posts. Why there's actually brass enough in it to make a
warmpingspan, or give a bashful man the countenance of a
Yorkshireman ! If any young woman is about to set up house-
keeping, she shall have. it for 2s. At any rate, 'tis dirt cheap
as an ornament for eighteen pence! Eighteen pence! Why,
the security is worth the money; for if any lady has a hus-
band addicted to liquor, she has only to stick a candle in it,
go to sleep, and leave the brute to see himself to bed when-
ever he pleases! It has such a convenient nozzle, too, that
a long six or a rushlight will equally suit. Only eighteen-
pence, ma'am! Thank ye. Your husband will thank yon,
too, depend on't, and you'll both go to bed lighter for it."
