MUTINY OF BRITISH TROOPS ON BOARD THE JURA. 
LANDING OF THE MUTINEERS AT MALTA. 
Malta, Nov. 10.— The Jura, screw-steam transport, arrived 
on the 5th in 0j days from Cork, having on board Captain 
Macquarrie, of the 63d, (sick throughout the voyage) ; Captain 
Thompson, of the 5th Dragoon Guards; Lord Killeen, 
of the 8th Hussars: Captains Haasard and Lea, of the 57th ; 
Lieutenant Copeland, of the 57th; Surgeon Hamburg, Assist- 
ant-Surgeons Hyde, Rutherford, Ren wick, Obens, unite, 
Young, Webb, Jewau, Phelps, and Ryal ; Mr. Staines, 
of the commissorat ; 23 ensigns, and 1,198 non-commis- 
sioned officers and privates of various regiments. It was in- 
tended that this ship should proceed direct to the seat of war ; 
but the insubordinate conduct of a company of the 50th, and 
another of the 55th regiments, rendered her putting into 
Malta necessary. From the information we can collect, it 
would appear that three or four men who were serving a 
period of imprisonment by sentence of court-martial, bad 
their sentence remitted on their wish to volunteer for foreign 
service becoming known. They were put on board the Jura 
with several recruits, nud first showed an insubordinate 
spirit by not saluting the officers. The example was soon 
followed by the recruits, aud matters went on from bad 
to worse. The next pretext was, an insufficient ration 
of water ; aud, as if by bo doing the supply would be 
increased, they finally proceeded to destroy the water 
casks aud wasted the contents; fortunately, however, 
the vessel's condensing apparatus was sufficient to keep 
up a supply to replace the loss. At one time the insubordi- 
nation reached to sucli a pitch that as mauy as 100 sentries 
had to be kept over the guilty parties, two of which latter 
received at sea fifty lashes ; aud Captain Wickham, com- 
manding the vessel, loaded with grape and brought two of 
the ship's guns to bear upon that part where the pri- 
soners were confined, and the soldiers of the 63rd 
were kept over them with their loaded muskets. The 
two companies have been lauded at Malta, where the ring- 
leaders will be tried and puuishcd. They have been placed 
under the command of Colonel Borton, of the 9th. In their 
stead, 186 non-commissioned officers and privates of the 
62nd, with Major Shearman, Captains Ingall and Daubeny, 
Lieutenants Hay and Dickson, and Assistant-Surgeon Young, 
were embarked. With the 170 men landed, five officers were 
left behind, much to their annoyance, depriving them, 
through the bad conduct of the men, from participating in 
the glory which awaits the rest of the regiment, who 
went on in the Miranda, viz., Colonel Trollope, Captains 
Tyler, Forster. Kilvington, Wilkinson, and Gwynne; Lieu- 
tenants Gooch, Hunter, Gilpin, and Blakiston ; Ensign Culiitt, 
Surgeon Laugley, Paymaster Drought, Quartermaster Now- 
lan, and 373 non-commissioned officers and privates. She 
also took up Lieutenant Hickes and Griffiths of the U.A., 1 
gunner, and two drivers ; Assistant-Surgeon Grant (for 
Scutari); Mr. Bloxan, acting mate of the Valorous; Mr. 
Townsend, second master ; three seamen, four marines, and 
one steward's boy, for the Algiers ; four seamen for the Gla- 
diator ; one stoker for the Stromboli ; and one seaman for 
the Rodney. 
SPAIN 
A telegraphic despatch of the 14th from Madrid states 
that there was a rumour that Marshal Esportero was about 
to retire from the Ministry.

RACING. 
“ On the green, green turf." 
Mr. Editor, — The attention of the London division of 
turfites ban oscillated during the week between Shrewsbury 
and Bow-street. The great “Sun” affair, however, has 
tinned out a mere matter of moonshine. Out of an extensive 
foray that produced one liuudrod aud fourteen prisoners, 
only one was deemed amenable to justice. Well might Mr. 
t i- nuzzled with tlie question — -“What was to be 
done with the defendants after they were taken The huge 
mountain laboured, and the luckless waiter was the mouse. 
The law required an example, and it was found in the person 
of Ryan, who was fined £50, with the alternative of three 
months' imprisonment. And this, too, in the face of the 
negative given to Mr. Huddleston's inquiry, “ Ifthere was 
any^harge against Mr. Morbey, the landlord ? ’ W itb aU due 
deference to the law, it strikes me that the mouse did not 
engross all the ridicule of the occasion. Notice of appeal was 
given against the decision ; and it is almost needless to add 
Sat nearly double the amount of the fine was subscribed m 
a very few minutes for the use of the appellant. 
The case of Mr. Simmonds, ou the Surrey side of the 
Thames, was decided at the Lambeth Po ice Court jm tho 
same day. But Mr. Simmonds was not equally well defended. 
His counsel ceded too much, and the defence rasted on a 
technicality that was at once overruled. The penalty 
inflicted here was £20, or, in default, imprisonment for ouo 
month. Tho three other persons found iu the tobacconist 
'XTctStaeu., « at praaent intend, ai.i.t 
endanger, not only Tattersall's, but most of the coffee-rooms 
and parlours of the various taverns aud public-houses , and, 
with a little straining, many diumg-rooms of private indi- 
viduals might be brought within its per. ous vortex The 
past session was remarkable for much “ fancy . legislation, 
of which the “ New Beer " and “ Betting Houses bills must 
decidedly bear the palm. But, at a tune when affairs do not 
altogether wear the eouleur de rose — though too sanguinary 
is tho aspect in the East— aud all men may bo called upon 
to make great sacrifices, it is hardly politic to cause unneces- 
sary irritation. Mr. Davies, much to h.s credit, has 
understand, subscribed £100 to the Patriotic I unci I ; and I 
am convinced that taken as a body, sporting men will not be 
beaten by any class for loyal and generous feeling. 
Shrewsbury has been winding up the season m first-rate 
style Though the meeting may not have redounded to the 
profit, it certainly has to the reputation, of its coucoctors 
Especial praise is due to the exertions of Mr. Frail. It 
would really take time to count up the number of horses 
that have beeu engaged. Instead of the middle of N ov ember, 
there was racing enough on any one day for a summer s alter- 
noon, - by Shrewsbury clock. Hal ! " lor the Shrewsbury 
Handicap the first name I gave you last week was that of 
the winner, La Belle. With fifty homes and a light Handicap 
before ine, I could not expect such fortune. Pantomime too, 
became an immense favourite, but monetary reasons prevailing, 
itis whispered.be was struck out at the “twelfth hour precisely, 
on the day of the race. Old Candlewick, at length fairly used 
up afforded a case of “break down." There was a huge mistake 
in advancing Incubus to the first rank of favouritism, as he 
was nearly last iu the race. This said Incubus of Stevens 
must Lave proved a distressing nightmare to Ins hackers. 
After ten unsuccessful runs throughout the year, La Belle 
did the “handsome" for her owner and stable by popping 
not only her head, but neck aud shoulders, in first. 1 he 
sister to Red Lion has long been wanted, and came at last. 
I was not quite so happy iu my selection for the other great 
handicap, “ The Column," on the following day, for Catherine 
Parr, though starting the favourite at 6 to 4, obtained uo 
better position than “ third.'* The winner, Iantlie, can run 
pretty smartly with a light weight, when wanted. This mare, 
you may remember, was one of my “ chosen few" for the Cam- 
bridgeshire, but she did not favour me with a start. Orinoco was 
backed for some money, but it is evident that he likes a mile 
minus rather than plus a quarter. Middleborough, as it con- 
scious of having defeated Virago over the same ground, put on 
his best running, and after beating Catherine Parr in tho 
“ Column,” won a small handicap yesterday, and was bought 
in for 180 guineas, the selling price being £50 ; proving 
that a victory may be dearly purchased in racing as well as 
martial matters. The Steeplechase showed no improve- 
ment on its immediate predecessors, and, unless Borne 
energetic exertions be shortly made, I fear that we must 
expect to see this exciting sport fall into desuetude. I regret 
to find that Fowler, the rider of Labyrinth, the only one 
of my three who put in an appearance, broke his 
collar bone, through the horse blundering at a leap 
in the first round. Minerva carried off the Hurdle-race with 
ease, emulous, perhaps, of the success of Banstead and Rosa, 
in their new line of business. Cook of the North shirked the 
“ Copeland Nursery ;” but I shall be disappointed if we do 
not find him “ Cock of the Walk" on more than one occa- 
sion next spring. 
The ever active Mr. Topham, not content with his Autumn 
Meeting at Liverpool a fortnight back, has provided a rich 
fund of sport for a capital little gathering ou the opposite 
banks of the Mersey. Mauy of the races at the Hoylake 
Meeting must necessarily partake of a local character ; but 
there are others of a sufficient importance to excite general 
interest. 
The Free Handicap Hurdle Race.— The 5 lbs penalty 
ought not to baulk the efforts of Minerva, after yesterday's 
display ; but in her absence, despite his ominous name, I 
must go for Tumbler. 
The Shorts Handicap. — B ardolpli. 
The Helbre Plate. — M y choice must fall on Katinkaor 
Young Hack. 
The Steeplechase. — Royalty and Tipperary Boy are 
mostto my liking. 
The Visitors’ Plate, on the second day, is undoubtedly 
intended to be the important event ; and for which let me 
tike Boddioot, Catherine Parr, aud Whalebone, iu the order 
named. 
The Welter Cur.—For this little affair, Ginger may be- 
come “ hot 1” 
The Two and Three-year-old Selling Stakes. — Poor 
Maria may here appear not unworthy of notice. 
The Selling Steepleohabe. — Any one must bo puzzled to 
pick out the winner. Mr. Henderson may, however, furnish 
a clue in— Labyrinth. Yours, Toby Peeps. 
Friday, 17th November, 1854. 
MANCHESTER.— Friday. 
There was a tolerable attendance at the Post-office Hotel to-day, and 
a disposition manifested to do business upon the 2,000 Guinea Stakes, 
The Derby, Chester Cup, and The Visitors' Plate, run for on Thursday 
next at Hoylake. This is the first year of its being an opening meeting. 
1 0 to 1 was taken once to £50 about Grteculus Esuriens for the Derby, 
and afterwards offered, Frequent offers were made to back four 
against the field for the 2,000 Guinea Stakes, or to take 5 to -1 that the 
field beat* four. A great number of horses continue to be backed for 
tlto Chester Cup at 100 to 1, but less odds have been tuken about the 
Reiver, Dalkeith, and Arthur Wellesley. The greatest amount of 
money has been invested upon the Reiver, about whom, we understand, 
as low o* 40 to 1 was tuken at Shrewsbury yesterday ; 1,000 to 30 was, 
however, the highest offer at the rooms to-day. Below will be found 
the latest quotations

MONEY MARKET. 
Thursday. — A s the despatch of Lord Raglan, published this morning, 
failed to lessen the apprelieusious entertained with regard to the loss 
by which the victory of the 5th of November, was purchased, tho 
English funds opened at a further decline, but a recovery soon took 
place, and prices were then maintained with more steadiness than for 
some days past. Consols for money, which left off after regular hours 
on Wednesday evening at 92, were first quoted 9 1-J, aud lor a short 
period touched 91$. From tills thoy advanced to 92, at which price

COUNTRY GRAIN 
Ipswich, November 14. — With a large attendance of persons we do 
not find a large supply of wheat. The trade remained steady at last 
week's prices ; tlie millers, being bare in stock, are taking off such 
samples as are offered to them. We noticed a considerable increase to 
the quantity of barley. This, however, had no influence on prices ; and 
a rapid sale was made of all qualities nt an advance of 3s. to 4s. per 
quarter on last week's transactions. Beans and peas inquired for ; but 
wo saw none at market
