THE TURF IN ENGLAND. ne FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. ting on c. of Aine Warwick—Disgracotul Proceedings in gard to Tathwell—The Great Winnings of the Party—Betting ,' Furare. alas, Lonpow, March 6, 1869. ‘We have scored 0 Tagge Bap cas of the ist of [pal raci *"and the Grand National Steeple Chase is a thing of the past, Racing folks have for weeks thought, spoken, written and dreamed of nothing else, and as it has at length found its place in the Calendar we can begin to ook about for something else to engross our atten- tion. It was a great race, and a magnificent spec- tacle; but it has upset all “the law and the prophets.” Toa large section of the turf world it administered what is classically known among them as @ “nose-ender,” and it made mincemeat of @ theory that was beginning to obtain a ‘large amount of popularity. The prophets were, as a rule, completely ‘out im their reckoning; those who had backed a great many other candidates for an enormous amount of money are sitting in sackcloth and ashes, and the event was won by a hunter who totally routed all the fat racers that opposed him, Against the Grand Na- tlonad of 1869 now stands the name of The Colonel, an animal whose reputation was solely that of a oross-country horse, and the majority of the favorites formerly known in conneciion with sport on the flat came signally to gricf, Your readers have from time to time been fur- nished with such full accounts of the betting on the race that they must now be well acquainted with the names of the priacipal candidates and the relative positions they hold m the quotations, and, as a con- sequence, in the favor of the public. They will re- member that from the commencement of specula- tion on the event The Colonel, though very little was known about him, except that he had wona few minor cross-country events and had the reputation of being @ good fencer, was lifted to the head of the quotations and maintained his place there until about a fortmght ago, when heavy stable invest- ments on Despatch brought him with a bound to the top of the list. The Colonel was ‘pulled out” at Not- uUngham and won a steeple chase with great ease; but the result did not improve his position, as it was argued that Guy of Warwick beat Ada Penelope at Lincoin with even less difficulty than did The Colonel at the lace-working town. The betting last week was chiefly marked, as I stated last Saturday, by the immense and genuine investments on Mr. Brayley’s pair, Pearl Diver and Fortunatus, both of whom were backed ‘by their owner, thoug®, asit afterwards turned out, he was most enamored of the chances of the latter, with whom he “declared to win.” The Lincolnshire pair, Tathwell and Barbarian, occupied for some time a very suspicious position in the market, doing a large amount of “see-saw” work, now the former, now the latter appearing the “trusted,” and the astute ones saw that something curious was about to happen. Guy of Warwick,-who was, on the flat, a veritable “duffer,”’ was greatly fancied for this event, and has, indeed, performed once or twice very creditably &cross timber, and he received, in consequence, an enormous amount of support for the great event. Fan aiso was one of the public idols, and during the week preceding the races was heavily backed; but it is unnecessary to reier to the speculation in re- rd to the otuers. On the whole there was more eiting on the Grand National than on any other since its fougdativo, and the total of the money de- pending on the result equatied that at issue for the largest of our great handicaps. Strangely enough, however, but litiie was done on Monday and ‘Tues- day evenings in wie subscription room of the Wash- Ington—what travelling American does not know 1tt—and it was not uutil the morning of Wednesday that the most important alerations Loox place. People who have never been to Aidtree can hardly be supposed to realize how miserable a human being may, from the force ef circumstances, becom: 1 don’t refer by any weans to dropping one’s mone. over a horse, whic is by no means a cheerful agair apywhere, and tay be lett out of consideration en- urely. W bat 1 do refer vo 1s the Wretchedness caused by consiaut exposure to the most depiorabie weatner. Ushouid think that when ty chose to take that tum you may be subjected to more genuine rain on this Great Western puko—ram that “means bustaess”— than in any otuer part of the three kingdoms. SOW appears, too, to be a “standing dish,” and at any moment one may look out for such a downfall, | as the most experieaced would hardly expect any- where buat in nortiern latitudes. For a variation we are occasionaily treated to hailstones of the size of— well, say, “not to put too fine a point on it~ pigeons’ eggs, and as hard and cutting as steel. But of all the disagreeabies of Aintree commend me to the winds —the plura! is the only form applicable in this case; for there is apparently a representative of every point of the cowpass, and one is exposed all day to wo?se than what Charles Lamb calis “quad- ruple drauglits.”. {hey are distinguished by a pecu- Marly sharp and ‘ling quailty which would entitie them to be called ayato ‘ical winds; for they have tbe peculiar faculty of pene- trating like scalpels the inmost re- cesses of the “human form divine.” We were chilled to the very marrow on Tues- day befure we had been half an hour in this awful spot; and, on the Lops of tie stands, we had, like your sea Captain, to hod on our hair to prevent its being blowu of. Nor was there anythimg tn the sport to make amends for our misery; for, on the whole, it Was hardiy above the form of ordmary “leather- Happing”’ gatherings.

Then came in ordor Dick Tu Plum Cake, Globule, Huntaman’s Daughter, Fan, Hishopton, 4. 0. and Orne. Tue next lot was le up of The Nun, Knave of Trumps, Despatch. Havelock, Guy of Warwick, Hall Court, Pearl Diver and Fortunatua—the last carrying Mr. Brayley’s legi- timate colors—and the last division consisied of Gardener, ; Robber, After the and after three or four “breaks away” and false starts, caused by the impatience and fractiousness of Hail Court, The Nun and Despatch, they were sent Oi to @ pretty fair start at 3:33, As 6oou as, In a second or two, they had settled down to their work, Giobule on the left showed in front, while at the other side of the fleld the most prominent colors were those carried by Fortunatus. Closest up with these in the centre of the course were Hall Court, De- spatch, Q. C., Fi Harcourt, Havelock, Orne and Barbarian, while compact pody in the rear was up of Guy of Warwick, The Kobber, The Colonet and Alcibiade, the last rapidly improv: his posi- tion. As usual, the very first fence was the scene of great contusion, for though the majority of the field Hew over tt with ease 1m & dense mass, Fan de- clined to “negotiate,’? as she did at the very same obstacle last year, and in doing 80 came into col- lision with Orne and sishopton, who in their turn spoiled the chances of Havelock, Knave of Trumps and Dick Turpia, The accident is believed to have been caused in part by some of the competitors rush- ing into the ditch in front of the fence, which they lied to see; but at any rate it caused a great amount of confusion and put the horses mentioned at opce “out of the hunt.” Orne, Bishopton and Havelock feli heavily, ana were quue 16 tO re- cover themselves, the second, indeed, lying in the bottom of the ditch perfectly motoniess, as if he had, aS Was at first supposed, broken his Kk, a8 Was, happily, not the case. Dick Turpin; hKnave of ups and Fan were not so unfortunate, for they contrived to scramble out again, but “the Knave’ and Fan were again stopped ‘at the next fence, at which they refused to look, and Dick Turpin, though he got the length of Beecher's brook, thea fell back in company with Plum Cake, both being from this pot virtually out of the race. Fan and Koave of Trumps were not the only recu- sants at the second fence; for the much belauded Guy of Warwick had had his temper somewhat soured by being disturbed im the scrimmage, and in spite of all porsuasion, moral and phyiscal, he resolutely de- clined to Jump, running away to the left in front of the lence and staring about him as if he had gone mad. A cousiderabdle number of horses having by this Ume boen eltuninated from the race the field, now of much smalier compass and more compact, were able to proceed in pretty good order and bad plenty of room to take Beecher’s brook, the next point reached. Over this obstacle Giobule led them in ailant style, followed immediately by Q. @., The un, Gardener, Pearl Diver and Alciblade, all in close array, while in their rear, but well up with them, were Despatch, Hall Court, Huntsman’s Daughter and Harcourt. Comparatively little atten- tion was as yet given to The Colonel, with whom Stevens was pursuing the same tactics as enabied him in former days to carry off the race with Km- blem aud Emblematic; for the horse was quietly taking a line by himself and was not “bustied” or hurried im the slightest degree. Globuie wi before the next fence was reached, compell to resign the command to Gardener, whose game and clever running and jumping astonished every one, and who now had just behind him the quon- data leader and Mr. Brayley’s pair, whiie The Robber and The Colonel, acting as wiippers in, approached tose in front more ciosely. Globule again went to the front as they neared the Canal bridge, and did the “table jump”—that is, a jump from a lane up to @ fat piece of ground, in grand style; and tue other horses were equally successful in getting over the difiiculty, with the exception of Pearl Diver, who came to grief most signally, Essaying the leap, he could only manage to get his front feet on the higher ground, and accordingiy fell back, rolling*com- pietely over and giving uis jockey, Reeves, a rather severe Shaking. The horse was, however, soon on pe again and, starting off rideriess, dashed away oiPto the race course, down which he came ocowling along and jumping his nurdies nicely, while the field were performing on the other side of the raiis, and he passed the grand stand justas they were “domg” the water jump, whi sh is right opposite that point. Harking back to the table jump, it ought to be observed that thence the horses came streaming along into the race course with Giobule at their head, three or our lengths in front of Q. C, Aleibiade, -The Nun, Hunisman’s Daughter, Fortunatus, Hall Court and espateh, all iying in @ close body, while at their heels were The Colonel, The Robber, Har- court and Barbarian. Iu this order they went over the water jump in_ splendid style and Without accident and passed the stand for the: first time; and there was little alteration as they passed the starting point and the early fences and arrived once meie at Beecher’a brook. At that point Globale had evidently Lad “enough of it,” for he began to tire unmistakably, and, laboring over the heavy ploughed land, everything stili in the race passed him. Gardener and Q. 0, were now léft_ in front and they alternately nidde the Fumilag to the Can, rid As they jumped into the race course for tis run home The Colonel went up to Alcibviade, Q. C., Hail Court and Huntsman’s Dauglter, whu were in immediate attendance on Gardeuer, at that time jeading, and when they got witain half amie of the winning post Despatch, The Nan and Fortu- natus Were rapidly compounding. As they came into ‘the straight it Was seen that the race was over, for The Colonel was so full of ranning that he passed all the others and, charging the remaining hurdies in the most gallant styi¢, he came on and won with great ease by three lengths, Gardener, Hall Court and Alcibiade fouglut a protracted battle for piace honors, in a ong to which an enormous amount of bet, chiefly on the last named, about Whom, though twenty to one could be had avout his winning, nothing better than two to one would be laid oe his getting @ situation. Hall Court was second, a length in trout of Gardener, who was the same distance in front of Alcibiaae, Three or four leagths beliind was y, C.;and then came Despatch, Glooule, The Nun and Fortunatue, all pulling up. The race was won by judicious “steering,” kant ing ability, staying powers and a light weight, “he ground, particularly the ploughed land, was very heavy, and the experience and stamina of the haif- bred Coionet were well served While all the ex: racers performed most tnylorious| lthas been ti fashion of late years to turn mdiferent periormers ou the fat into “cross-country” horses, and large sucis Lave frequeatly been paid to acquire Sduffete? who it was supposed could be trained to jump- jog to such an extent as to win the Grand National. It is probable that the victory of ‘The Colonel will give a blow at once to the theory and the practice; bat it will ofier encour agement to owners of hunters and so tend to the prosperity of the race. The principal share of tue Wiuntngs fell togtne owner, Mr. Weyman, his com- missioucrs, Messra, Cockin and Crook, and the buox- makers, Wright, Newnill, Lee and Lawreuce, who divide among tiem something like $200,000, There is but little else to speak of this week, for there has been bust slight speculation on the fucure, and goxsip is singularly scaniy, Toe Caester Cup betuug is remarkable only jor the comparative un- steadiness of Paul Jones and the demonstration in favor of the Tafgitt pair, Mandrake and Good Hope.

She rejects ali suitors, among them A puissant king, Whore count against her own domaln— Tn strength its quai, but contiauing Its dearest foe through many martial reign. She finally selects, as her choice, a young prince, whom she had met in youth, the son of the ruler of a small principality, He, while on his Journey to the capital of his bride elect, “reaches & country seat that borders near the capital,”’ where “he was to rest from travel.” The “gray-haired noble’ who dwells here has a young and lovely wife—‘a peerless woman.” ‘The prince and this woman instantly fall In love with each other, but she (otrange reasoning !) does not dishonor her hus- vand.

The wind up of the story is that the queen dicsand is deeply lamented. Such is the poem of *The Liane- less Priuce.” AS a Work ol art itis a failure; as a poem itis very poor. ‘the material for exhibiting great dramatic powers is there, we admit; buc Mr. Stedman, {n piace of imagery—instead of depicting the passions de treats of m a manner worthy of the poetic spirit which he certafily docs possess, gives us a large number of spiritiess words, strung together in a certain metrical length and ming —accordl to the arrange- ment of his verse, There is not a siuuza in the poem which we can cite as possessing more than the most ordinary power.

All these, it ust be stated, are short poems, and we would recommend to Mr. Stedman, who is undpabt- edly # poet of genius, and one destined, if spared, as we trust he may be, to win a iuigh rank among Ame- rican poets, to avoid for Lhe présent poems of great length. He should remember that 1 18 no disgracy to & poet not to be able to write two hundred ant eighteen stanzas of great poetry on one subject.

We could name a sometime prominent and popular monthly, which lost over fifteen thousand scribers on the first of January last, (at least so says report), Lenina because of their becoming tired of the political articles published therein. Onward has a well known publisher, and cannot fail to achieve success if 1t3 columns are thrown open to all writers, no matter what they may think or write, 80 long as taey write well interestingly. MUSICAL REVIEW. ‘There is quite an improvement in the music pub- Hshing business. The greater number of the pteces be- fore us for review are really meritorious, and, what is also gratifying, American talent is well represented. Our composers foolishly and unthinkingly left the field when the muddy deluge of English burlesque reached our shores. There was no reason why they should do 80; for even if a few mercenary pub- lishers paid homage to “Tommy Dodd” and “Tady was a Welshman,” yet there were enough left to re- cognize true merit and respect the art of music. As we anticipated, the public have sickened of the atro- cities perpetrated under the name of musie by those Dundrearies who followed in the wake of the bur- lagque blondes. The “spirit of burlesque” outside the stage has nearly evaporated, and our own conscien- tious composers are again in the foreground, The trash of Lingard and Farnie should never have been published, or if publishea should have been permitted to remain on the publishers’ shelves. But better late than never. As a devotee of real music we hail the change which has taken place in the popular 1 mind, Ina little while no publisher will have the hardihood to show his customers the refuse of Lon- don concert saloons. The sooner the better, Henry Litollfs Verlag publishes a very handsome edition of the opera of “Norma,” words and music, “Preciosa,” ditto, fifty of Schubert’s inimitable melodies for the piano alone, all his dance music complete, and J. §. Bach’s piano works complete, In one book there are twenty-two of Bach’s favor ite compositions, comprising the Suites Angiaises et Francatses, three tocatas aad four fantasies, Those great works are gotten up in good style and at reasonable prices. Ditson & Co. error the following:— “Evening esi,” berceuse. Sidney Smith. Founded on a very pleasing and we wight say tractable melody, for It is of a nature susceplile of any Gegree o! coloring and varied expression. Tie treatient of it sows the skilled hand and is some- what out of the beaten track, There area lew pueriie triplet passages in it which mar the general character of the work, but their presence is more than compensated for by “the grace and beauty of others. ‘Lue modulations on the fourth page are particularly beaatiful. “our Flag,’ song and chorua, G. A. Veazle, Jr A rather spirited sort of piece. The harmony in the chorus ts w littie mixed and unnecessarily tutricate, tne tenor madulging in some very queer pranks, “President Grant’s March.” P. S, Gilmore. A very ordinary military march, The begiuning of it resembles Mendeissotin’s “Wedding March’ some- Wwaat, butina very miid form, A rather preity theme is on page ‘six. Ferhaps it would be elfective if formed at the Peace Jubilee at Bostoa next sum- i it with Sool at at pea ae ee chureh cannes ue A ry, bué on tne Bales et eis perfect exemplidcatign 3 ih age, “Let us have peace.” It is very peaceful. “When We Grow Old.” Solo and duet, G, F. Sargent. A veFy Degutiful meiody, and handled as only a ipod musician Cai a melody. “Lord Dudley to Lady Ji and Her Answer.’ Vocal duet, adapved io a “iovely Venetian air.” ‘The ao is ny enough, but hardly enjitled to the term “lovely. “The Days of Old.” Ballad. A. B. Hoag, There ts one good strain in this song, which is repeated, how- ever, @ littie too often. Lt will pass for au ordiuary “Song of the Sea.” T. Bissell; poetry by Kate Seaioam. Very good and characteristic as well. Part of the melody tytroduces the “Cotiage by the “The Voice of Spring.” Polka redowa. A. H. Fernald. A very good specimen of dance music, “La Dame Blanche.” Fantasie bri! : bach. An admirable work on Boeldieu’s be: opera. Leybacli has a particular talent for ¢ the choicest morceaux from an opera and pres them tn an attractive and brilliant form, He caters more to the general taste than to the dtledan. Hence in this fantasia there are many of the ordi et passages which we meet with in works of tuis tod. “Clarke's New Method for Reed Organs” is com- plete as far as instraction goes, and the voluntaries are well selected. Louis Duchauer & Co. publish an excetient edition or studies and exercises for the piane, by Bertini, Czerny, Davernoy, Kohler and Schinitt J. L. Peters pabiishes the following: — “He Wipes the Tear from Every Eye. Sacred song. H. PY. Danks, A most beautilul inelody—not afaw In it. ’ “The Lord Will Provide.” Sacred song. George Leach. A prevty thing tn a mtwor key, with a very good accompaniment. “Do Right and Fear Not.” Sacred song. Words by George per, Music by J. Kk. Thomas, Both the melody and words are very good, and the title we would recomend to the consideration of our own writers, “Do Right and Fear Not,” even if the mi t be Mooded by burlesque trash. The time will come yet, and that shortiy, when publishers will be ashamed to have the “spirit of burlesque” on their sheives. “Katy McFerran.” frish Song. WilS. Hays. A 80-80 kind ofssong. Mr. Hays’ forte evidently docs not lie in the Green Isle. There is not a particie of the shamrock about Katy McFerran. “Forest Glude March.” ©, Kinkel. Evidently to order, One of those stereotyped, hack- pieces which inners delight in, . A. Pond & Co. publish the tollowing:— “Tell Me, Doth a Flower Love?” G, Operti, A very excelient waltz song, simple and effective, Another of Mr. Opertys songs is “Anvil Jack, the It is an admirable song for the concert hall, and, with a baritone voice, is bound to become pepuiar. | skilful musician is shown in every measure. Bridal Morn Waltz," by Howard Glover, is one of the best waltz songs we have seen this sea- sou, There are few of Arditi’a popular songs of the kind which can compare with it. Itis dedicated to and sung by the young American pritaa donna Misa Fannie Stockton, and has been eminently successiul wherever it has been sung. “Ave Vener,” for soprano or tenor voice. J. Tatiaro, An exceedingly meritorious piece, with a jady possessing a mine of sentiment and religious and a charming accompaniment. The base is peculiar and very effective. There 1s an apparent air of simplicity in the entire work, which recom- mends it in any church, The changes and modula- tions are rkilful and fuil of deitcat re ion of the lights and shadows of sacred music, The com- position is worthy of such a distinguished musician.

Tae NEWARK COMMON COUNCIL AND THE SALT MzaDows.—A special meeting of the Common Coun- cll was held on Saturday evening, to make remon- strance against the “Driggs bill,” now before the Legislature, for draining the Salt Meadows in the vicinity of Newark and Elizabeth. A committee, consisting of Aldermen Westervelt, Stevens and Scott, were appointed to confer with a similar com- mittee from the Kuzabeth Common Council, to de- vise measures for defeuting the bili above referred to.

Engraved on tho four sides, near the top, are the arms of the United , New York State arms, city and regimental arma. The lower part of the shaft, front and rear, is decorated with a bronze trophy of a’ palm and sword, crossed (the emblems of peace and war), covered by shield and bearing the regiment's motto, 4 “Pro Patria et Gloria.” On either side ol the shaft extend blocks of granite about twelve feet high and twelve feet long—thus giving breadth to the generat effect.
