THE CAPE PREMIER AND MR. RHODES. A Reuter's telegram from Cape Town on Thursday says:—Sir J. Gordon Sprigg addressed a meeiing of his constituents at Ivdit London last night. The Premier re- viewed the progressive legislation of the Rhodes Administration and the history "f the last session of the Cape Parliament, but de- clined to enter upon a detailed discussion of the Jameson raid. Referring to the report of the Select Committee of the Houtse of Assembly, the Premier said he did not know that he could inform the meeting of any par- ticular advantage that had accrued from the appointment of the Committee. The posi- tion which he took up on behalf of the Cape Government was that the colony had nothing to do with the raid. and that it was a question to be dealt with solely by the Imperial Govern- inent and the Transvaal. The result^the inquiry had been to absolve the Cape Govern- IPNT, ouMido Mr. Rhodes, and ahto the officers of the Cape, from any connection whatever with the laid. The Committee had found that Mr Rhodes did things inconsistent with his position as Prime Minister. Assuming that to be the Mie, then the punishment in- flicted or Mr. Rhodes was retirement from office. Mr. Rhodes had taken that punish- ment, a.nd the colony had nothing whatever to 8.y to him on that matter.

The Cardiff Steamer ON FIBE AT SWANSEA. The Third Engineer Burnt to a Cinder.—The Inquest. THE VERDICT. At the Tunnel Hotel, Swansea, on Friday irternoon, Mr. Edward Stnck, coroner, held an inquiry into the circumstances atteinding the death of William Lally, third engineer of the steamship Rothsay, of Cardiff, who was burnt to a cinder on Thursday afternoon through an axiploeion of [paraffin oil. William Thomas Evaas, of Fitzlhemon Embankment, Cardiff, engineer, identified the body, and said deceased had only just taken up the position of third engineer on the Roth- say. lie lived a.x 118, IS"cv..port-road, Cardiff.

South African War. MATABELB BBCEITE A CRUSHING REVERSE, A. Graphic Description of the Battle in the TJmbugula Valley. A Reuter's telegram from Cape Town on Friday says:—Later telegrams received from the front show that the action which Colonel Plumer's column fought with the Matabele on the 5th inst. was long and stubborn. A dis- patch from Plumer's camp, dated August 5, has been received by the "Cape Times," and gives the following particulars of the battle. A- five o'clock in the morning 700 men, under Colonel Plu/mer, moved on the Cmbugula Valley. At six o'clock they halted, some three miles from the camp, and the whole of the white Infantry, together with two screw guns, under Captain MCullough, and a Maxim, under Captain Llewellyn, was detached under the chief command of Captain Beresford, with orders to advance to the right for the purpose of making a detour and shel- ling the valley preparatory to our advance. While the force was moving forward and as the guns were being taken over a small kopje, the Matabele made a sudden and determined dash upon them. The enemy had so care- fully concealed themselves that they were within forty yards of the screw guns and within fifteen yards of the Martin before either could come into action, but a round of ca.se phot and a belt or two from the machine gun first stopped the rush. In a very few moments the Beresfcrd's force was surrounded, and a hot and determined fight took place. At noon Captain M'Cullough and Lieutenant Jaser were wounded. Lieutenant Hervey was mortally hit, Sergeant Ainslie was dead, and Gordon and Holmes were down wounded. Captain Beresford then signalled tc Colonel Plummer: "We have beaten the enemy off, but canct advance without support." On hearing this Colonel Plummer ordered all the mounted men forward to rein" ice Beresford. The despatch then goes on to. describe how Major Kershaw was shot while gallantly lead- ing on his men, and how, after a sharp struggle, the Matabele broke and ran, losing heavily in their flight.

THE PATRIARCH'S RESIG- NATION. preparing THE WAY FOB RUSSIA,. The "Daily News" correspondent at Con- stantinople on Wednesday says:—The iccep- tamce of tt.\e> rcsiglnajtion of the Armenian Jratriaroh is officially announced to-day, and the Porte hao already prevailed upon the Mixed Council to appoint a locum tcnens. The usual proceuura is to call upon tho National Council to elect a VWiarch, but I am informed, that the Porte will not do this, preferring in the present situation that matters should remain under a iocum ten ens. The Patriarch in re- signing stated that, owing to the Porte s re- tusal of aid and assistance in the accomplish- ment of his mission, and in view of the Piteous state of the nation, he considered it ij to resign, hoping that his action *ould lead to the amelioration of the condr tion of the Armenians. The resignation of tne -Patriarch is regarded by many as an act of sacrifice for the benefit of his people, as ma»ny influences have been ait work lately A °kject of persuading both theni and the Council that his resignation would be attended with beneficial results. Last week niany thousands of leaflets were issued m Armenia, purporting to oome from an Arme- nian source. They sought to convey the same I idea to the lower classes. Satisfaction is expressed in diplomatic circles at the resigna- tion as tending to lessen tension, and it is even alleged that it is inspired in order to prepare the way for a new phase of Russian policy.

National Bank OF WALES IN LIQUIDATION. List of Contributories Objected To.—Three Gentlemen Desire Their Names off. Our London correspondent, writing on Thursday, says: — Mr. Justice Vaughan Williams had a knotty point to unravel -to-day. It concerned the liability of certain persons who have been dealing in shares in the National Bank of Waies Mnce it was voluntarily wound up. Mr. Dovey, the mild-mannered but subtle liquidator, is the gentleman who raised the point. He is anxious to and out whether an original share- holder is liable for unpaid calls; whether the man to whom he transferred them or whether the man who ultimately had them transferred to him from the transferee. Mr. Dovey was aided in his scheme by another legal luminary—Mr. G. A. Riddell—.vho revels in establishing interesting precedents, and l\1r. Roe, of the firm of Vachell and Co., Cardiff, who had taken advantage of a visit to Algiers, where he had assisted at an Admiralty in- quiry, to lay in a stock of health for the task. These gentlemen called in the services of Mr. Buckley, Q.C., to place their ease before the judge. From him his lordship dis- covered that this was a test case, and that the gentlemen who stood to be shot at for its disposition were Dr. Taylor, of Cardiff, tie original shareholder; Mr. Phillips, of l'odl- pool, to whom Dr. Taylor sold his shaves, and Mr. Rickards, of Newport, who pur- chased the shares from Mr. Phillips. The solving of this problem, it is needless to say, did not attract the general public, neither cid it seem to interest any in court but those directly concerned. Mr. Johnson, solicitor to the Metropolitan Bank, as the representa- tive of the bank which is defraying the ex- penses of the liquidation, was, of corn bo. "n attentive auditor, and no one apoeirsd to enjoy the dry wit of his lordship more than tnisex-mayor oi Birmingham. Mr. Johnson nunself po&sesses what Jack Point would call a "pretty wit," as his colleagues in court have oiten nad evidenoe. Mr. Buck- ley was content to state his case, and let Mr. Levett, y.C., who represented Mr. T. H. Stephens, of Cardiff, argue the point tor Dr. Taylor. His lordsliip aid not seem impressed wall his arguments. Neither were those of Mr. Macnagnten, a son of Lord Macnaghten, who appeared with him. He treated with in- difference his arguments on "novation" and "rectification, and stuck to the fact that the original contract made by Mr. Taylor had not been broken by the suosequent transac- tion. Mr. Levett argued to the contrary, and urged that Dr. Taylor's liabilities werb taken over by Mr. Phillips, of Pontypool, or by Mr. Rickards, of Newport—he did not care which. Mr. Bramwell Davies (instructed by .\11'. Henry Bythway, of Pontypool), for Mr. Phillips, also tried to slip the responsi- bility, and he was convinced that Mr. Rickards was really liable. Mr. Rickards counsel, of course, took a different view. In his opinion, Dr. Taylor was the man. He it was who was originally on the company's register, and, as the court had not sanctioned the transferences which had taken place, he was still liable for any claims that might be made upon his shares. The section under the Act round which they argued was worded very obscurely; even his lordship admitted that 'thjre were some "words in it which were nonsense," and this part of the hearing resembled the second part of a three-volume novel. Mr. Justice Williams, however, thought that the liquidator had power to I alter the register, and, although he was of opinion that the draughtsman of the Act "was a German, as he put th& verb at the end," he could not see how Mr. Rickards' counsel could explain away the phrase—in the section relating to the transference of shares after a winding up—'that "all transfer of shares would be void." except a transference such as that which MT. Rickards had been party to. At this stage it seemed, to the counsel for other defendants that the "noose" was tighten- ing round Mr. Rickards, and Mr. Ingle Joyce, the Attorney-General's devil on the equity side, the counsel in question (who received his brief from Mr. Frank Lewis, of Newport), was not elated at their ill-concealed joy. Mr. Joyce laboured the point of the illegality of the .liquidator's action, bu't his lordship was against him. He also did not see eye 'to eye with counsel when he sug- gested thwt Mr. Levett's client, in all proba- bility, was a rich and wealthy gentleman, whilst his client might be a poor—a very poor—individual. "I have no evidence before me on this master," said his lordship, "but the probabilities ar" that a man who is repre- sented by Mr. Ingle Joyce and Mr. Farwell, it not 8, man of wealth, is, at any rate, a man of luxurious habits." And again the court smiled. Mr. Buckley, Q.C., then addressed the court on 'the whole case, his hand being against the three defendants. Mr. Taylor was, however, the man whom he went for first, and in his efforts he was aided by Mr. Farwell, who had also a desire to palm liability on the Cardiff man. Mr. Buck- ley argued that Dr. Taylor's responsibility fltd not pass. Supposing." he said, that a rich man, anxious to avoid liability, 'transferred his shares to a poor man. It would be of no use for the liquidator to come down on the poor man, and it would be iniquitous if the rich man should evade his responsibility in this manner. Yet, granted this, Mr. Buck- ley argued, the poor man was also liable, "lie transferees, he contended, were "jointly and severally liable," although the company could not obtain more from them than the actual amount of call outstandings The same argument he also used to fix the liability of Mr. Rickards. Mr. Justice Williams here sug- gested to Mr. Macnaghten the desirability of applying for a confirmation of the liquida- tor's action. This application Mr. Mac- naghten readily made, but then another difficulty arose. Mr. Sheldon put in an appearance at the back of the court, and on behalf of the Metropolitan Bank, the pur- chasers of the National Bank's assets, said that. as the transfers had been made by the liquidator in good faith, and at a time when it was thought 'the National Bank was solvent, the court ought to hear evidence before consenting to this application. This upset the whole arrangement, and put rival counsel and solicitors in a flutter. It was evident that if Mr. Sheldon's view was adopted the case would go over the Long Vacation, and the "call" would be indefinitely postponed. His lordship felt strongly that he ought to allow the application of Mr. Macnaghten, as he was determined that the matter should not be settled on a mere techni- cality. Ultimately is was decided to ad- journ the case until to-morrow, when the Metropolitan Bank will state what action they are prepared to take. In the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice on Thursday (before Mr. Justice Vaughan Williams, sitting as an additional judge of the Chancery Division), the case of the National Bank at Wales (Limited), to vary the list of contributories, camp on for hearing. Mr. Buckley, Q.C. (with him Mr. Ingpen), said he appeared for the voluntary liquidator of this company, which was in liquidation, under resolutions passed on the 27th of May. 1893, and confirmed on the 12th of June of the same year. These resolutions were passed with a. view to the amalgamation of this bank with a bank called the Metropolitan, Birmingham, and South Wales Bank (Limi- ted). This summons came before his lord- ship for argument at the instance of three gentlemen, named Taylor, Phillips, and Rickards, to vary the list of contributories by taking off their names. The liquidator had "taken out a summons asking that it might be determined whether all, or any, or which of these three gentlemen should be settled on the list, a.nd what were their respective liabi- lities to the company, and what their priority for the payment of any call which might be made. The summons also asked that thej I should be appointed as persons to represent I others of their particular class. Upon that summons the Registrar gave directions that all three of the persons ilamed should be settled on the list of contributories, leaving it to them to get off if they could. He did not, however, settle the matter of these gentlemen representing others of their class. The company's capital consisted of £20 shares, with £ 10 paid up, and a liability of B10. At the time of the liquidation being ttgreed on, Mr. Taylor was the holder of I V \?. --?- tinrty shares. In Novemoer, Mr. Taylor executed a transfer of these shares to Phillips. The liquidator, in the volun- tary winding up, did as he was authorised by the statuie to do) sanctioned the transfer to Piullips his name was put on the register in the place of Taylor's. A certificate was issued to Phillips, and the old certificate was cancelled. In May, 1894) Phillips transferred to Rickards, and his name was put on the .register. Thatt was all done at a time when it was supposed that the amalgamation of the two banks had b^en a success and that no calls would be made. That, however, did not turn out to be the true state of the facts. Calls had to be made, and the question arose as between laylor, the transferor, Phillips, the transferee, and Rickards, the subsequent transferee, which was liable as the contri- butory in respect of shares upon the "A" list. As there were a good many transfers under similar circumstances, the ] learned judge was now asked to appoint each of these persons to represent transferors and transferees, similarly situated. Mr. Levett, Q.C., who appeared, with Mr. Macnaghten, for Mr. Taylor, said that .gemtleman was the holder of the shares at the time of the amalgamation, and he subse- quently transferred them. His (Mr. Levett's) submission was that, although immediately before the transfer Mr. Taylor was liable as a contri butory, yet by the transfer and the issue of the certificate to the transferee there had been a novation, the liquidator had accepted the liability of the transferee, and Taylor s liability had come to an end. further, he said, if .Mr. Taylor came under the section which made members liable, if he had not ceased to be a member for more than a year from the time of winding-up, then he said it was sought to put Mr Taylor on the wrong list of contributories, and he should be on list "B," and not list "A." Mr. Justice Vaughan Williams: You say there has been a novation—a novation of what contract? Mr. Levett; Of the contract to pay such contributions as were required in the liquida- tion. Mr. Justice Vaughan Williams: I don't think there is any such contract. I think the only existing contract is the contract of membership. Mr. Levett submitted that in this case a new member had been accepted in the place of Mr. Taylor, and that he was, therefore, no longer liable. Mr. Bramwell Davies. Q.C., for Mr. Phillips, and Mr. Farwell. Q.C., and Mr. Ashton Cross for Mr. Rickards, contended that their clients were not liable. In the course of the discussion, his lord- ship passed some criticism on the grammar of the section under which the proceedings were taken, and observed that, judging from the verb being at the end, it must have been made by a German draughtsman. (Laughter). After a long argument, his lordsliip, on the application of Mr. Levett. said he was dis- posed to give effect to the transfer which had been officially sanctioned by the liquida- tor, honestly, and in good faith. Mr. Buck- ley asked that his lordship should give judg- ment on the point of law for the guidance of liquidators, but the Judge said he saw no advantage that would arise from his giving a pro forma judgment.—Mr. Levett said he would apply to amend the summons for the purpose of obtaining his lordship's order to give effect to the transfer, and "counsel for the Metropolitan Bank was allowed time to elect whether he would appear on that nart of the case. The mat'ter was, therefore, adjourned until to-day (Friday),

AN AMAZINGTSSAIJLT. THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT HAMMERSMITH. William Ashley, 32, Edmund Chutor, 29, George Lee, 23, and Charles William Jackson, 23, ail of Hammersmith, were finally examined at West Loudon Police-court, on the charge of violently assaulting James Goldsmith, living at 69, Acklam-road, South Kensington, and stealing a cigar-box containing £1 131! 6d. from his room. Mr. St. Bernard Wilson pro- secuted, while Mr. Pierron defended. The nature of tha assault was of an extraordinary character. On the 4-feh ult. Charles Bloomfield. a. lodger at 69, Acklam-road, was awakened from hia sleep, and heard a terrible noise on the fir.it floor. He got out of bed, and saw several men, including, it was alleged the pri- soners, dragging the prosecutor upltai'rs by his legs. They then attempted to throw him out of the window, and Bloomfield exclaimed 'For God's sake don't do that." Th^Ten dropped the oomplamant on the landing and approached Bloomfield, who went into his room and closed the door. The men afterwards threw the com- plainant down a. flight of Irtoairs, and then jumped upon him. His head Was taken hold of. and knocked violently against the stairs, while one man attacked him with a pair of tongs.

This Day's Cricket I GLAMORGANSHIRE V. M.C.C. AND GROUND. (By "WELSH ATHLETE.") After Glamorgan's recent victory over the M.C.O. &t Cardiff, it seemed doubly a pity that so unrepre- sentative a side should be taken up for the return engagement at Lord's. It was in the bowling department that the weakness of Glamorgan waa most apparent, neither Lowe nor S. Biggs being able to make the journey. Rees, of the Y.M.C.A., went to town in the professional's place, S. Sweet-Eecott replacing S. Biggs. The M.C.O., on the other liaikl, put out a very strong eleven, includ.ng the four proces- sionals, Chattenon, Storer, Davidson, and White- head. For once in a way the Glamorgan captain managed to win the toso. and at half-past eleven J. 11. Brain and W, Morgan went to the wickets to face the bowling of Davidson and lord. Runs came at a fair puce, muetly from the bat of the Glamorgan captain. When the score had reached 30 a double change was tried in the bowling, Chattel- ton and Whitehead taking up the attack, ituns still came freely, however, and, after 45 minutea piaj, the half-century was sigualled, Brain's total at that time being 42. At 51 Morgan, who had all along seemed but little at home, wjw taken in the slips off Whitehead. Barlow came in next, and opened hiM innings by hitting the first ball he received from the Yorkshire professional to the boundary. Whitehead had his revenge in the sajae over, how- ever, for he clean bowled Barlow, displacing his middle stump. When Letcher joined Brain another ttaud was made. The Swansea man played cautious cricket for an over or two, and then opened with a couple off Whitehead. In the meantime way etill hitting freely, and repeatedly finding the boun- dary. Letcher could not quite settle down, despite his cautiousness, and, after contributing one more single ae his share of the total, Davidson, who had come on in place of Chatterton at 86, found a way to the Swansea man's wickets. Mann and Brain were the next pair together, and no diminution occurred in the rate of scoring. Mann opened freely, and at five minutes to one placed Davidson to the leg boundary, bringing the century on to the telegraph board. At 115 another change was tried in the M.C.C. attack, Ford going on at the n. us' eid in place of Whitehead, whilst 2 runs later Davidson gave way to Chatterton at the pavilion end. Itui.f, however, still came at a good jiace. Brain, tn par- ticular, treating each of the trucdiers ivith tcaut resped, :U1d repeatedly found the houndary. At twenty minutes past one Brain got Cliatterton through the slipn for 3, and brought his individual 100 on the telegraphic board. For its compilation he had been nt the wicket one hour and fifty minutes, and had not given a. single chance. At 1.30, when an adjournment was made for luncheon, Brain and Mann were still together, the score standing at 157 for the losts of three wickets. Score: — GLAMORGANSHIRE.—^rst inningB. J. H.

It was from these last figures tnat Towiteend (not out 19) and Hemingway (not out 1) continued the home county « batting at" twenty-five minutes to twelve on Friday morning. The weather vus dull, and the attendance comparatively small. Ph'llips and Hearne shared the attack.

At the close of Thursday night's play at Canter- bury the Australians had completed an innings of 310, and Kent had lost one wicket for 18.

Buniup and Ma*>n continued Kent's innings, and were op- posed by Trott and Jcmes. The score had only been increased to 43 when Mason was easily caught at cover slip, but Burnup and Patterson made matters look verv much better for the county, the former hit- ting brilliantly, and causing Giffen and Trumble to take up the bowling.

Sports and Athletics ? TURF ITEMS. CRICKET, ROW- ING, CYCLING, &C. The third deposit of B100 areide, which makes B300 a-side now down for the match between Cortield and Flupmer for £ 1,400, was staked on Thursday with the final stakeholder, Mr. Bennett, of Sheffield. The pair will box twenty rounds with 4oz. glovee, at 8st, for jBSOC a-side and a purse of B400. at the Norfolk Drill Hall, Sheffield, on Monday, September 7. Oorfield is training at Redcar, and Plimmer is located at Four Oaks, Birmingham. Both aie reported to be in the best of health. The grandly-bred OmladJna, who has so utterly failed this season to uphold her great two year old promise. has taken leave of the turf, and left Kings- clere for the stud. The filly gave a very moderate performance in the Na-csau Stakes last Friday at Goodwood, but was not in a fit state to compete. c Froward has had an engagement each day this week, but missed both Huret Park and Brighton liabilities, although actually arrived at the latter place. Furze Bush got cast in her box during the early morning prior to her running second in the Prestou Handicap yesterday. The mare was practically un- hurt, and merely had some skin rubbed off, as events proved. It is observable that Mr. Calvert has apparently, no fixed jockey. as Sam and Tom Ixmtcs, White, and Watts have all worn the green—red cross belts dur- ing the week. Now that Mr. "Abe" Bailly has returned, maybe some further elucidation will be forthcoming as to the inadequate reason alleged, for the with<lrawal of the favourite. Gazetteer, from the recent Liverpool Cup. Is a victory for the horse in next week's Bir- mingham Handicap, now his owner is present, to be anticipated? Harrogate, a useful three year old, who figured last year in Sir J B Maple's ooloure, and is now trained by Whipp, at Beverley, has just beaten the best of his stable over five furlongs. Bradwardine and Prince Barcaldine—first and second in the Brighton Cup—are half-brothers, both being by Barcaldine. The race made the latter colt's fourth consecutive second this season; in fact, that position has been liis on each occasion of runnoig. What with Ankles, Bended Knees, and Anklebiter. it only needed Mr Perkins's hunter Bowlegs to have competed at Brighton this week to bring down the County Council's moral wrath. Gc.ring and Streatley Regatta is to be held to- morrow, aDd will attract the patrons of the Upper Thames eu masse. After winning the Polytechnic Challenge Cup out- right, on Monday, Arthur Ovenden has decided to retire from the path actively, and if ever the L.A.C. scratch man runs again it will be only in a. desultory way for amusement. Throughout a very long career on the n nmng track this genuine trier and flier has earned universal popularity. No two yeir eld of equal merit to Jest had so often faced the starter this season, beginning at its very outset—Lincoln. On Tuesday, too, the mare had been fed and done up" for the day, not being intended to run. Surely, under such circumstances, experience teaches the distress and dauger consequent upon violent effort. It was aurjwieing to find that among those who missed the first race yesterday was Sweet Song, for oi the Hurst Park form with Jack Spinner, Mr. Heasiuaii's filly, who wae wondrously well handi- capped, could not well have lost. The Salisbury chesnut is not likely to get another emch opportunity soon. One of the top-weights Eau Gallie, repeated his Tuesday's win, starting at a long price. Quill, who finished third, confirmed her Hurst Park beating of Villager on 91b woree terms. The little Newmarket winner, Miss Cackle, who has since failed in juvenale selling plates for Falmouth House, has been sent to the Childwickbury, ttud. Mr. M'Cftlmont claimed a cheap horse in Crawley at £ 435, as the chestnut is sound, and ought to have won the Pavilion Stakes. This result seriously raises the question as to the advisability of entering horses at the lowest pomible selling claim, when it is in- tended to back them substantially. Tn a handicap matter of 71h would be deemed of great importance; then why not so in a weight for age selling event, when the difference in the contingent imposts so often makes all the material difference between win- ning and losing? In such cases an extra B50, or J3100 even, in the selling figure becomes comparatively of little importance. Mr. Wishard, it is announced, intends increasing bis string, but if it be with such cattle as Crystal- line, bought for 30 guineas at Brighton, he will soon find it a losing game. Moreover, what Tom Cannon weeds out is of little value to owners who aspire to reasonable turf success. At the concluding day's Boulogne summer races on Wednesday, the jockey Dodd rode three winners, per- forming the hat trick, the successes being "off the reel." Nervi won the Kemp Town Plate in M. Cannon's liacds, confirming the emphatic hint given here to follow the youngster, who was badly left" at Goodwood laet Friday, when Prince of Poete won. t Then Char*.le commenced a series of successes for Lambton's stable, which totalled four, one li the wirnfrs being the property of the trainer, two carry- ing Lord Derby's colours, and the other those of his son. Lord Stanley. Tom Loatee and the regular etable jockey, Rickaby, shared the winning rides, the lighten horseman being requisitioned when Rickaby could not do the weight. As each also supplemented these with another win, and Gannon scored twice, the three jockeys shared the card between them. As becomes a Chippendale, Garton Pierre stays well, and, despite defeats at Ascot and at Lewes by the hunter Scampanio, now realised 640 guinea, and went to Mr. Morbey, who knows what he is about, and especially so in this instance, seeing he has been superintending her training of late, in Mr. Lambton's enforced absence through illness. It is noteworthy that all the positions were filled by three year olds, although the distance was nearly two miles; or, to be exact, the unique distance only quotable on a Brighton card—oae mile seven furlongs and 44 yards. Again the predicted good thing" of the day— Wcreenter—came off in an absurdly t"8"y manner. However, odds were laid against the hrg chesnut, with only Sweet Auburn in the field, is beyond com- prehension. The lesult, and the manner of its being gained, verifies such belief, and even Kilcock would not have beaten Mr. Bamato's horse on a cojrse like Brighton. Fhrbuø Apollo was withheld from h5s yesterday's engagement for next Monday's Birmingliaoi Handi- cap, as not being a very big one, the lighter scale of weights Is much in his favour. So, too, is the more severe course. It is ext*emely pleasing to notice the very; first entries in both Cesarewiteli and Cambridgeshire are hones belonging to the Prince of Wales.

RUINED SOLICITOR. HIS LAST DAYS AND LETTERS IN A WORKHOUSE. The clerk to the Sheffield Board of Guardians ofli Wednesday read a letter which he had received from E. Knowles Binns, a Sheffield solicitor, at present an inmate of the Fir Vale Hospital. Properly, he said, the man ought to be in the Eoclesall Workhouse. The letter sta-ted that the writer, at one time a guardian and a memher of the Sheffield Town Council, was desirous of bringing his case before the board- Some years ago he bad a stroke of paralysis which took the entire use of his left side, and he was still suffering. He had paid to the Solicitors' Benevolent Fund JB10 to be a life member, and for several years they had paid him a pension of j650 a year, but last year they reduced it to £ 30, and this year they had stopped it altogether, "for no earthly reason whatever." He was not a drunkard nor a disreputable character, but simply an invalid. lie belonged to an honourable pro- fession, and it was never intended, lie said, for a solicitor to have to end his days in a work- house when he belonged to a society that had in hand to pay his pension" with- Although lame, he was fully in possession of liis faculties, and had an untarnished reputa- tion, and it was a scandalous shame that when he belonged to a wealthy society he should be a charge to the ratepayers. He had tried to do without his pension," and get his own living, and he had acted as clerk to a local solicitor at 15s. a week, but had been dis- charged as incompetent to do the work, and being without means he was compelled to lO into the workhouse. He hoped the guardians would look into his ease, and insist on his being taken out of the workhouse at once, and paid a pension outside.—The Chairman said all that could be done was to refer the letter to the Ecclesall guardians.—A resolution was accordingly adopted, and the letter will be sent on to the Ecclesall Board.

TRICKING THE JURY. Maitre Lachand, the famous advocate, was perhaps the greatest master of comedy in France, and not a few eminent actors envied him his marvellous powers of mimicry. He was once employed to defend a murderer against whom the facts were hopelessly clear. When his patheti'o appeals and his tears-which were always at call when he pleaded before a country jury-failed to touch his stolid audience, he resorted to the most impudent piece of trickery. Thrusting his moistened white handkerchief into his pocket, he demanded if the jurors were men, if they had human hearts, if they could bring themselves to condemn a fellow- man like the accused, whom he had credited witth all sarts of chivalrous, if not saintly, meriie. His eloquence waa not merely fruitless, but the jury responded to it at first with uneasy shuffling, then with biting lips, and finally with loud and uncontrolled bursts of laughter. Lachand, while flinging about his hands, had intentionally dipped his fingers into the great ink-pot in front of him, and as he drew his right hand across his forehead, as if in agony of despair at the certain fate of the accused, he left upon his brow an enormous black mark like a crescent moon, and drew other black traces down his cheeks as he put his fingers to his eyes to dash away the tears. Feigning high moral indignation at their con- duet, he continued: 'You are aibout to decide whether one of your fellow-men shall be thrust by you out of the ranks of the living, and you choose such a moment for indulging in cruel and thoughtless laughter. Is this extravagant mirth a fitting mood in which to decide whether a man shall or shall not die!" The argu- ment actually told upon the jury. The man was aoquitted.
