the Turkish forces, from our Government, whs despatched

Racing in Australia. — A Jockey Club has been 
recently established at Adelaide. A public meeting for tho 
purpose of making permanent arrangement? wus held at tlio 
Napoleon Bonaparte Hotel in January Inst, when it was re- 
solved that tlio annual races should take place during tho 
first week of the month of May. 
The remainder of Mr. Bl wes’s stud are to be sold without 
their engagements at Newmarket next week. Mountain 
Deer is lor sale at GOO gs. Mr. Armstrong, of Newmarket, 
will furnish particulars. Sir Clifford Constable’s stag- 
houuds are for sale by private contract. Sam Day, we are 
glad to bear, is rapidly approaching convalescence, under 
tho sliuuipooiug system. There will be another steeple- 
chase at La Marche, with £200 added, on May 25tl>. In 
consequence of the drought, Tullatnore Steeplechases are 
postponed to the 3rd and 4th of May. Seven more mares 
imve arrived to Voltigeur, who is likely to have a very good 
season. There are at present 23 subscriptions to the Ruw- 
cliffe Paddock Slakes ; John Osborne has 2 ; Mr. Shepherd, 
1 ; and Mr. II. S. Thompson, *20. Mr. Downes, of tlio 
Harewood Hotel, Hare wood, died last week, aged 41. lie 
was, we believe, executor to tho late Henry Stubbing, find 
hud the superintendence of the Harnbleton stables’ stud 
farm. The Racing Tune* stutes that Autocrat is still the 
property of Mr. Sidney Herbert. Lady Pigot won a bet of 
£100 to £0 about Coup d’Ktat. 
There was (says Argus) a good deal of talk at Newmarket 
about un eminent trainer who had laid nine monkeys against 
Ruby, for a master of his, for the 2000 gs., having had a hint 
that it would be as well If the money was covered. Chief 
by the llv.lra has been put to the stud. He is 
l.» bands 3 inches, and rising seven. Il«* first appeared ns a 
three- year-old at the York August of 1850. and was benton 
lour times and won once that veir. In 1851, ho won twiCO 
and was beaten ten times. In 1852 bo won four times and 
was uviten eight; and in 1853 ho won twice and was beaten 
out Dines. He lmsonly been out and beaten oneo tills year. 
His logs were in a very Infirm state when ho retired. 
11m winnings amounted on tho whole to £2,083; and how 
much larger they might have beta If justice had always 
horn done him it is difficult to say. The Manchester 
lrn.lcs Cup last year is his best performance. Ills fee is

Th e New mark ht Ciuvbn.-“A* for the Newmarket 
Handicap, nil I can observe is, that folks will recollect it for 
anno yo.trs. First, Virago was got rid of fora pecuniary 
consideration, end then Bracken ami Adine nut out of the wav 
bv natural causes. P.lthof fibulrt ltnvo won, Then Mr. Parr 
did lint tcel anxious to have the credit of having tlio' stake 
without ku s mine, m> ho broke through Ills arrangement with 
till) Adlnoltos ns quietly ns he would have done an under- 
standing with lien Land in a Plato at Odlhaui. For this 
course ho Is to bo lilntnod— niul certainly bus not shown him- 
self a man of tho world— for however hard might have boon 
his position, members of tlio Jockoy Club nre not to be de- 
ceived with Impunity, as ho will find when next his horses 
are handicapped at Newmarket. Perhaps It is mitgenoraUy 
known that Mr. Parr Is under a contract to deliver up Defi- 
ance after his York race, sound and freo from blemish, lo Mr. 
HMmp, a gentleman whose history verifies the old adage, of 
“ truth being Stranger Ilian fiction, ” and who has given for 
him the sum of three thousand guineas. Under these cir- 
cumstances, therefore, some nlhiwnneo should be made for 
him, although It nnut have been very annoying for tho iu- 
noceiit backers of Defiance, sumo of whom, upon the platform 
at Cambridge, put their money on him as lie passed thorn 
homeward bound. When tho race wus really run, the result 
•coined a matter of perfect lndliTorouco to ull but the book- 
makers, to whom Sir Robert Plgott gave ns good u turn ns 
lie did two years hack witli Father Thames, and they greeted 
him most Cordially. Coup d'6lut Is a lino toppod horso, and 
reminded mo very much of old Onkloy. Ilo is a fine gal- 
loper, but tin; wor»t euutorcr I over saw, and, but for Jem 
Chappie's recommendation, Sir Kobort would liavo turned 
him up after the Houghton. 
“ If Dervish is so much hotter than Uolnrdo ns ho Is stated 
to he, tile Derby looks wollfor tho Kx- Premier. The defeat 
of Slttingbourno by Oreitcs did not surprise us although they 
laid four to 0110 on tlio formor. The running of Duron 
Rothschild's horso confirms overy syllahlo I liavo written of 
him for tlio last twelvemonth — viz., that ho ought very nearly 
to hnvo won tho Derby, und that 1 did not auluct the brute 
I was represented to have chosen then. Hu lias now bouton 
Sittingbourne, that ran tho second Tor It, CIneas the third for 
it, Rutiiplau tho fuurth for It, and the Reiver, the second for 
tlio Loger, so that hls claims to bo considered the second best 
horse of (tin year must ho admitted.” — Anars in tho Morning 
Tost. 
Otter Hunting — Having seen (ho splendid print of 
tho otter hunt put forth by Mrs. Thtirnnm, the Carlisle men 
thought It was time to begin tho season. On Monday last 
they cast off at tho WrBck Ilrldgn In Lyno. Mining traced 
the water a few nlllbs tllfly came itpou a drag, In a short 
time “ bolted” lillu from Ids retreat, find, after nil exolllng 
hunt of several hours' duration, lie was run to tho death. 
On being weighed ho was found to ho IQIbs. Next morning 
tho sumo party tried tho Skew Batiks, 011 tho river Helen, 
and caught 11 fine dog otter, hut only uftor a six hours' chase 
of the most exciting description. This follow weighed 20 jibs.

Km n \ rkAtion op Cavalry Horses. — (From tho 
Bxetrr Gazcttf ). — “ Tlio embarkation of tho horses wus 
not ucaomplishod without tlio occurrence of many exciting 
scones, In which woro evinced the strength and terror of the 
horses, und tho address and resolution of tlia Hussars, who, 
when foiled again and ugfiin in their utteinpts to fusion tho 
sling upon their steeds, scorned never to doubt of success, 
and ultimately triumphed over all. Sumo were blinded by 
a kerchief tied over their oyes, others woro quieted by kind 
words, others by curossos, oven kisses, and in this way were 
seduced to submission ; but n few of the horses woro ln- 
tractuhle by such gentle moans, uud a fore foot held in tho 
hands of a Hussar, or tho twitch, a polo with u loop of 
leather at ilia end, fastened by twisting it on tho upper lip 
or oar of the horse, reduced u hot-teinpored horso to tho de- 
sired stuto. But one or two de-peruto encounters happened. 
We saw a more rUlso her fore feet ovor the shoulders of u 
Hussar, who was holding tho halter at hor mouth, and 
kunek him to tho earth under her. Ho fortunately 
wus not much injured. Another Hussar, while attending 
tho last liursc that was embarked, was hit In the aria by tho 
animal, as ho was being taken Into tho air, and narrowly 
escaped making nu involuntary ascent. The worst struggle, 
however, remains to he told, it wus with u powerful horse. 
Wo hoard it belong- d to the Serjeant- Major. Ilis temper 
being known, the IIus«ars and riggers who assisted thorn, 
stood wyirlly by as the sling was being applied. Three or 
four wore n't hls head, smoothing the forehead, blinding his 
eyes, and holding him firmly by tho halter, but tho Instunt 
ho felt the sling boriCUtli him, lie spurned it with his hind 
legs, and roaring hi* fore ones, drove off ull but tliOiO who 
held tho halter, and them lie dragged to Some distance from 
the shipside. lie was drawn back, utid a socoiid uttompt 
was made, but with a similar result. It wus some time 
before ho could be brought a third time Under tho yard of 
the ship, hut when there, onu of his fore legs wus doubled 
up and fastened by a rope. This operation did not tumo 
him, but he pawed In tlio air with tlio leg which was free,
