MAY 14, 1853. the salubrious occupation of watching trials. Good luck attend them in any honester calling! The racing at Newmarket was extremely uninter esting. The Suffolk Stakes was only remarkable t i n• ending in a dead heat; and the other races were confined to horses of little value, and small account, with the exception of the 10 soy. Stakes for two-year olds. Alas, another of the Melbournes, won easy ; but the pace was bad, and it remains to be seen whether she is really as good as that running makes her. If she is, we need not despair of seeing Ruby collared and beaten before the end of the year. Next week we are threatened with the appearance, at Bath, of the mysterious Cineas. Bath has told a tale before now, and may again, if they send hut ; but in my opinion those who are anxious to see him will have to wait till the Derby day. Pmurrus. NEWMAIIKET SECOND SKIING MEETINCi.

DoscAsrEa RAcr.s.—On the recommendation of the stewards and the town council, Mr. .1. F. Clarke is ap pointed judge for the Autumn Meeting. THE PRESS. Cm:Km—The lovers of this amusement nn• await ing the commencement of the season. Hut, while • winter lingers in the lap of spring." little in the way of play can be accomplished. The. Maryle bone Club (the first body of cricketers in the king dom) met as usual on the first Thursday in May. but. coxtrary to the custom of the last twelve year, .lined in the pavillion at Lord's Ground, instead of the Clarendon or Orillon's. There seem'. to have been an expectation in some quarters that some changes in the hors of the game were to he male on this occasion. it is. therefore, as well to mention that the members assembled at the dinner have no power to make alterations in the laws, which ( when neces nary) must be brought under the consideration of the whole club, duly summoned for the purpose. The principal business transacted at the dinner was the appointment of the days tar the matches throughout the season. First comes. on Monday next, the County of Nottingham r. England. The novelty at' the match, the interest attaching to these county contests, and the excellence of the players engaged, will make Lord's well worth a visit. All that is re quired is tine weather to ensure one of the 11. , .t matches of the season. We shall duly chronicle the result of this and of other matches played in London during the summer, and, without going into details. endeavour to give a fair description of the principal features of each.

THE 61:HAT INHUMTMAI. EXHIBITION opened on 'Thursday with vast pomp and ceremony. His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant represented shy on the °erasion; the Knights of tit. Patrick walked in procession and their robes of state for the first time since the memorable visit of George IV. to Inland. More than 15,01)0 persons were present, amongst whom were most of the leading nobility and gentry of Ireland. An amalgamated choir, consisting nt* nearly 1,000 performers, executed a choice selec tion of musk, us a part of the opening ceremony, and the whole is said to have been conducted to the ut most satisfaction. The weather was most UMW., and a large number of the Dublin shops were closed in honour of the occasion. The Lord Lieutenant, during the proceedings, knighted 'Benson, the architect, and expressed his regret that Mr. I whose paniotie conduct he warmly applauded, bad declined the highest honour which it was in his power to bestow. The Exhibitionlnlay indeed be said to OW(' 115 001111 to the patriotic exertions of that gentleman. Mr. Deegan, whose opulence is the result of his trim honourable industry, determined. early last year, to endeavour to organise an Exhibition for Ireland, somewhat of the diameter of that which assembled the world in Hyde-park. But. instead of asking subseriptiens to carry out the pin, he resolved to be himself the single subscriber, and to o : tfer to defray the costs and charges of rearing an edifice to which the contributions of Ireland and of the world might be invited. Finding that his project met with 33
