DOVER, MAY 19. Ws Ex •ellency the Prince, with the Princess Po- LIGNAC, and suite, arrived last night at Wright's Ship Hotel, and this morning sailed for Calais, on board the French mail packet, the Henri Quatre. A salute from the battery announced his Excellency's embarkation, and very many respectable inhabitants assembled to witness their departure. Arrived his Majesty's packet Fury, from Calais; and the Monarch steam-packet, from Boulogne, with four carriages, and sixty passengers. EXt.CU 1 lON AT NAPLES. NAPLES, APRIL 28. The assassins of the unfortunate Mr. and Mrs. Hunt, whose case excited so deep and extensive an interest, were executed last Saturday, 23d inst. The neap°titan Journal,4lnch, as you may remember, avoided making any mention of the distressing affair at the time it hap pened, and which only alluded to it lately, when the malefactors were discovered, inserted yesterday a long article on the subject. It appears, that immediately after committing the crime, the villains had kept them selves closely hidden, and by means of the wife of one of them, wl,o denounced certain innocent individuals, misled for some time the pursuits of the police. At last, however, the mystery was cleared up, and the following individuals secured :—Felice So/do, aged 32, a r easi.et ; Biagio Ilanzo, 32, a colono (or little farmer) ; Liberato Letteridlo di Vincenzo, aged 26, a peasant ; Pith° An tonio di Pasqvale, aged 28, a wine seller, or tavernajo; Maria rittoria Calabrese, aged 39, wife of 13i igio Mar zo; Marianna (arnso, aged 30, wife of Liberafo Letteriello ; traffac!e Frosca, aged 30, a guardiana cant pest re (or man armed tor taking care of country pro. pert)); and Aicola Maria Petrelli, whose condition is not mentioned, aged 38. These persons were brought before the Military Commission of the Province at Stt- 1 lerno, according to a Decree of king Ferdinand, dated 3d October, 1822, which orders that all br;ganti, or companies of robbers, be tried by martial law, acrd executed immediately after conviction. The Commis sion, at %%hid) Colonel Count Zimmerman, 'Military Comtnander of the Province, presided, declared Solito, Ma zo, Letteriello, and Da Pasquale guilty, recom mending, however, Solito to Royal mercy, as his evi dence had principally discovered all the secrets of t h e crime, in which also he had taken the least part. Of the other individuals, accused of being privy to the desperate projects of the assassins, and of having lint them arms and assistance, one, via. Cirmn, was ac quitted in torn, and the other three detained in prison tor fur titer examination. The three ordered for execution were carried down to Eboli, and shot, at three o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday. The brutal ruffians, the sanguinary de stroyers of defenceless youth and beauty, died like das tardly villains as they were. They moaned, they shrieked, nor could all the consolations of religion give them strength to face their punishment. The article in the Neapolitan Journal finishes thus: "This is a very salutary example for persons of bad minds, who may flatter themselves that crimes, and crimes ef this nature, may remain concealed by ate shades of secrecy with which they endeavour to surround them. There is not one mystery of crime into which the scrutinizing eye of our Givernment does not penetrate. And in truth, as, unfortunately in n > country depraved men can be prevented from committing such horrible excesses, tl.e public authorities can do nothing better than to pursue¶hem without truce (senza tregua), and to punish them promptly, in an exemplary manner:' All the persons concerned in this dreadful transaction were inhabitants of Eboli, a beautifully situated little town, where foreigners generally repose on their excur sions to Paestum. It appeared on the trial that the cri minals took to the road, for the first time, the day be fore our unfortunate country people fell into their hands. A letter from Corfu, of the Ilth ult. states that an agreement has been entered into between the Turkish Government and the Pacha of Egypt, by which the latter is to receive for 50 years the revenues of the Morea, in the event of his being able to effect the con quest of that country from the Greeks. Some foreigners, whose papers wete not en regle, have recently been expelled from Milan. • The Brussels Oracle says—" A Jesu:t having arrived in this city front France without passpo.ts, he was politely requested to resume the road to the frontiers:' The corvette LA Coquille, commanded by M. Du- PERRY, which sailed from Toulon the 11th of August, 1822, arrived at Marseilles on the 24th of April, 1825, after a voyage of 32 months 13 days, having sailed 24,89 k leagues, without losing a single man, or sustain ing any damage. According to the latest intelligence from Madrid, the King of SPAIN had recovered from his indisposi tion, but still remained at Aranjuez. It was a treat of no ordinary de.scription, to witness the return of the company (an almost endless train of every shade of many coloured" life), lions that scene of fraud and fun, Epsom Races. Horses and riders could scarcely be distinguis!'ed for the coat of , dust with which they were comple ely invested, and for the most past looked as if they had been circum navigating a malt-mill for the last twelve hours, rather than enjoying the sweets of a glorious out. Very few f the equestrian order, or Their hanimals, had dined, judging from the outward and visible signs w:;ich ge sitrally follow upon moderate eating being joined to hard exercise : there was certainly no lack of the latter, and the mettle both of biped and quadruped, seemed at least at zero. The late Earl of WHITWORTH WAS born in 1760 ; ap pointed Minister Plenipotentiary at Warsaw, in 1786 ; Envoy Extraordinary and Mirister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Denmark in 1800 ; advanced to the dignity of the Peerage of Ireland, March 21, 1800, by the title of Baron WHITWORTH, of Newport Pratt, county Galway; appointed Ambassador to Paris, in 1802, " in which situatiop-his ptorupt and dign.hed re: pression of the intemperate address in full Court of the Ruler of France, is justly celebrated throughout Europe ;" a Lord of the Bed Chamber in 1813 ; created a Peer of Great Britain and Ireland, June 1, 1813, by the title of Viscount WHITWORTH, of Adbaston, county cf Stafford; and in the same year sworn of a e Privy' Council and constituted Viceroy of Ireland; advancd to the digaities of Baron Adbastou and E irl Witir• WORTH, September 30, 1815 ; married, April Ist, 1801.

WEST lER Colllll' of REQUESTS, May 19. _f_ CORBIN tr: PARROTT. The plaintiff in this case approached the Commis sioners' table in anything but a straight line, and her mode of speaking in opening the business explained at once the cause of the sinuosity of her advance; there are many terms applied to the situation she was in, but it is doubt less she was full half seas over, and her being so was not likely to benefit her in a claim of seventeen shil lings for a month's wages, or rather in lieu of a month's warning. She began with such tipsy volubi. 'lity that she might have changed names with the de fendant, for her peroration was delivered in a very parrot-like style. It would be vain to attempt anything like an exact report of the eloquent appeal she made to the Commissioner; about the ill usage she had r eceived, about the victuals being locked up, (she said nothing about the chink,) and many other matters rather irrele vant, but it was at length made out that Mr. Parrott had hired her as cook, not knowing of the spark in her throat, to say nothing of Other sparks, as tw.lve guineas a year, and for three short days she went on with her roasting and boiling in a middling sort of way, but on the night of the fourth day, a circum• stance o:curred which plainly proved that Jenny Gur rin was determined to rule more than the roast, fit on 'that eve;.in.tt, Mr. Parrott having been with his daugh ter to witness the unearthly horr , rs of Der freiSchatz, returned, as a quiet cit:z rn would, at about half past eleven, and called about him for his bread and cheese; but Jenny was contumacious, as he thouet, but in reality drunk, and he had much difficulty in getting wherewithal to satisfy the cravings of his stomach, after swallowing so much gunpowder smqe at the Theatre; but when he had so done, the contumacious cook, upon being ordered to go to bed, declared she would do no such thing, for she had not supped, and she would be hurried by no mail—nor woman neither, for the matter of that. Mr. Parrott, though a mild man in the main, did not like this, and he, therefore, took the liberty to put out his own kitchen fire, and to lock the larder door, drinking his jolly c ink would then retire to I:er stump bed in the attic ; but Jenny did no such thing, si,e stirred her stumps in a very &fret ent way, making up a tremendous fire again in the kitchen, and fetching the brace of moulds from the parlour, that she might have an agreeable light ; she then " laid her lovely length" on the rug before the fire, and calleJ upon tit's{ Nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep," who was not long in obeying the call, and she soon snored soundly. Now it happened that, although Mr. P.'s cook was drunk, the watchman on that beat was per fectly sober, and being surpriz,d at the great and conti nued light in Mr. Parrott's lower regions, he took the liberty, at about two in the morning, to peep a little more closely between the rails, when he beheld the scene as above stated. Being an Irishman, he imme diately concluded the cook was either dead or speichless, and, therefore, set to work with the bell and the knocker, being half a mind all the while to cry fire, to rouse the master of the mansion, in which he soon succeeded, Mr. Parrott making his appearance with one stocking on, and the other in his hand ; for having just waked out of a dreadful dream occasioned by the Freischutz, be was not quite cle.ir whether Z miiel him self had not some hand in all this dreadful din. I low s ever, became, saw, and determined that Jenny Gurrin should not sleep another night under his roof, think ng if she did he should be sure to lie awake himself; this information the gentle Jane receiv• din a very surly way, vowing all sot ts of vengeance. Mr. Parrott, however, kept his word, and she now sought to recover her month's wages, but the C mmisioners being abun dantly sstistieJ with what they bad heard and seen, dismissed her claim altogether, as a lesson to unworthy corks. It appeared that this woman had received a tolerable character from her last place, and it had been admitted, since she was sent from Mr. Parrott's, that it was given on account of the terror she had inspired her former mistress with, by her horrid threats of what she would do to her in case she did not give her a good one. By intelligence from G;braltar, we learn that the Governor, Lord CIIATHAM. whose health has suffered materially since his last residence in the garrison, is corning to England, and expected to arrive in this coun try by the end of June. The Dunira, a China ship, for which great fears were entertained, and on which on Wednesday, at Lloyd's, SO guineas per cent. was given for insurance, has Arrived at the Lle of France, dismasted ; it will cot be necessary to unload the cargo. The enimited value of ship and cargo is 100,0001. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LINE, MAV stacle: Our supplies during the week have been scanty, except Flour, of which article 6200 sacks have arrived ; this circumstance, and the continuance of fine weather, have greatly depressed the mann* trade—still the factors are not inclined to give way, and Monday's prices are demanded for fine Wheat. Barley is very dull of sale, but not cheaper. The Oat trade is very lively, and line fresh Corn supports our last currency. In Beans, Peas, and other articles, there is no alteration. rHE GREAT DERBY RACE. _~ [We gave in a part of Our impression the decision cf the Derby Stakes yesterday, but as this is a " great, an important day," with citizen as well as Corinthian sportsmen, we subjoin a detailed ac count of the day's sports.] • EPSOM, MAY 19. Perhaps no greater interest WAS ever excited than the Derby attrac.ed this day. The Craven and other Meetings at Newmarket boast of distinguished visitors; but the distance from London n turally precludes thousands who would otherwise b• there. This is not the case here, for the vicinity of Epsom to the Metro polis aJmirs of trg r.4g and bobtail hurrying to the Downs in droves, to increase the number of the dilet tanti. On the present occasion, the road to the Course presented a scene seldom witnessed. Vehicles of every dr sci iption were in requisition: the dashing four-in hand, the coronet.ed lanJan, the tour-posters, glass coaches, stage-coaches in prirnecyle, post-chaises, gigs, tandems, cabriolets, carav ins, post—waggons, slow waggons, hay -carts, dung-carts, and costermongers' barrowchettes, all were mingled in one promiscuous group, each striving for receJence; but "the race is not always to the swift," and the swells could not pro ceed one atom faster than those who had " taken time by the forelock," and got into line, which they kept in stern defiance of the proud man's contumely." Many jokes pas,eJ between the Jelin.. and the Trotters, and " gee up, Dobbin" %VAS the continued cry; but Dobbin " kept his sta ely pace," and disdained to move beyond his accustomed course. The utmost good humour, notvev, r, seemed ; here and there, to be sure, an unlucky break down would discompose the mildest temper, and some of the plor devils were heartily wished at their masters' gates, and a little squabbling arose in consequences patience, however, overcomes every 0b ... The sides of t' e wick were lined with thou- sands throughout—by spectators who neglected their' homes and occupations for the sole purpose of gratify ing an idle curiAsity, and quizzing those journeying towards the scene of action. The anima ion of the scene was considerably increased by the number of ladies' schools drawn out in regular array, some in line, and others in the form of a crescent ; and, upon the whole, we cannot but think that the road to the Races was much more productive of Amusement than the Races themselves. Upon the Downs, the arrival of the different parties from all points of the compass, enveloped in clou is of dust, had the most :Orgill ir and grotesque appearance; and as they took their stations on each side of the Course, they had rather the appearance of a congrega tion of millers than or sporting citizens. Every place commanding a 'convenient view of the race ground, from Tottenham-corner to the winning-post, was occu pied by twelve o'clock, and in some instances by car riages four and five deep, and before the commence ment of the sports the'hill, celebrated for the assemblage of the haut ton, was completely covered, many of them. being unable even there to obtain a favourable station ; and we have no doubt that hundreds we.e not able to catch even a glimpse of the running. The approaching race for the Derby Stakes excited an extra'rdinary intriest, and many thousand persons, both male and fern tle, went to the Warren to have a peep at the horses bct..re they were saddled ; Rufus esp. cially ' attracted much atten ion, and was pro nouncta:l a fine horse. During this natural gratification of curiosity, the betting circle on the hill in front of the warren was more numerous than we recollect to have witnessed it tor some years. The books were all out, and a continual cur ssfile of bets was kept up to the last moment. From the course which things were taking, it was clear that Rufus had gone back a point, and that Webb had supplanted him in the good opinion of some of the knowing ones; the odds, in fact, against Webb, were reduced to 7 to 4., while those against Rufus were raised to 5 to 2, still the great majority of the field kept to the old favourite, Rufus, contending, that upon prin ciple, and from the feats he had already performed, he ought to be the favourite. Some said thst Webb had had a private trial with Cedric, and astonished his friends by his powers; but others whispered that this was a mere invention to get him up for certain private reasons—be this as it may, thoseltvho fancied Yebb had no reason to find fault with their judgment: Upon the clasing of the books, the odds were 6 to 4 on the field— Webb first favourite, and Rufus next, f 3 to 1 against Muleteer,B to 1 against Hogarth, and these tour were backed at 70 to '2O against all the others. Long before the time of starting, the lines on both sides were quadruple deep with vehiclei of every de scription, and the stands presented an animated and gay appearance ; in short, the whole coup-d'ceil: of the Course WAS picturesque in the extreme. The fineness of the day added to the effect of the display, and every coun tenance beamed with pleasure and delight ; all were de termined to be pleased, wig though the dust rolled in clouds, frequent resort to the booths cleated the way for more. 'There were booths of all sorts, from the splendid London Crown and Anchor Tavern, down to tile more humble Cat and Fiddl E. 0. tables were provided for the canaille, and the Une, Deux, and Cinque for the swells ; in short nothing was wanted to satisfy the inward cravings, and every amusement was at hand pour passer k temps between the running, which could satisfy the most fastidious; altogether displaying a striking contrast between the sweet repose of nature and the bastiing gaiety of Of the various scenes ten the Downs, none was more calculated to excite the wonder and idolisation of the yokels and cockneys than the dense mass cl men and horses packed together near the starting post, for the purpose of betting. There were speculators of every class, from the swell Corinthian, who risks his thousands to the humble leg, who ventures his crowns. Nothi , A could be more- animated or amusing than the in tense anxiety manifested in every countenance, and the Babel-like contasion which prevailed through out the morning till :Al doubts were at rest.— It was a matter of astoni:hment to us how,. in V e midst of such noise, they could understand each ov - .er, or make correct memoranda of their engagements. was curious to observe the avidity with which the legs seized on a bet that offered the merest trifle above toe current odds, against a favourite. Hundreds were ready to jump down the throat of any adventurous fel -1 l ow who fancied hirn,-11 all niece in the t•tre:. Soon after one o'cl..y_k his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester art ived on the DJ .VIIS, in his carriage and four, ‘A hick was drawo up close to the weighing-house. —His Royal Ilighuess then incautted his horse aid in termingled v, iii LI e general throng. Among oche. persons of rank prent, and these may be said to em brace almost the w vie of the fashionable circles of the metropolis, we noticed • The Duke of Itichutond, the Duke of Portland, the Duke of St. Albau'a, the Duke of Uraftotwthe Marquis of Hertford, Lord • Jersey, Lord Verulam, General Grosvenor, Lord Orford, Tim Burford, Lord Deerhurst, Lord Sefton, I, ird Ual•ridee, Sir F Burdett, Captain Berkeley, Sir William Ball, J:r. Mahe, Ball, and Mr. Mayne. The pfcipockets vrere pretty numerous, and from the fine oppor tunities presented by so crowded a C.urse,we have iirtle doubt th it they levied heavy contributions on the pockets of the spectators. We did not hear of any accident of consequence. We now come to the Races, of which there were only two, and considered by those who came only to see them, as a Scant y hill of fare. About an hour and a half previous to the start, the betting Gen tlemen assembled in very great numbers at the post &Lot whence the horses run, having previously congregated in the town for a like purpose. At the latter place the fluctuations were not very smite rial, with the exception of Webb's being the first favourite. Ti►e odds then were as follows: to 1 agst Webb ; 5 to 2 agst Rufus ; 7 to 1 agat Muleteer ; S to 1 agst Levey ; 8 to 1 agst Hugarth. At the post the odds gradually ruse in favour of Webb—first,2 1, then 7 to 4,6 to 4;5 to 4, then even betting; and finally, i and s; to 4 on him, and 2 to 1 agst Rufus. The signal having been given for starting, the crowd galloped off to the appointed spot, and, as the two Lvour:tes paced backwards , and forwards, many a "longing, lingering look" was cast upon thcm. The last bell at length rang, and seventeen .tarred. .2 110 12 IL • SMITHFIELD MARKET, MAY 20.

Thus en..!ed the legitimate sports r.f the day ; but it wa. intiniated that there was to be a fight, and a I.rge concourse el the Fancy and rickpockets combined, as sembled in the hollow at the commencement of the Two-mile Cows; but the crowd was so dense, as to forkid the possibility of forming the ring. The Commi ssary immediately ordered the st.kes to be pitched in the hollow near the Warren, and thither* tome of the initiated followed. 11e arrangements were soon formed, and a purse of twenty sovereigns collected, for which Dick Curtis and Peter Warren agreed to fight.. At this moment, the mob, who were waiting at the place first mentioned, received a hint of the trick which had been played upon them, and in a shalt time t';ey came over in such a body as to create the most dreadful con• fusion. Several quarrels took place, and among others one between Tom Shelton and Ssockrwin ; anJ while they wee in contact, a cowardly ft tend of Stockmaa struck Shelton a heavy blow on the head hum belt nd, and bathed him in blood. THE FIGIIT. At last comparative peace was restored, and the men came to the scratch—Curtis, attended by Josh Hudson and Randall, and Warren, by Aby B:lasco and another. Round 1. The men were cautious fur some time, each waiting for an opening ; at last they both hit right and left, and Dick's cork was drawn. In a close, when Dick was going to fib, Wasted went down (shouts for Dick). The ring was again broken, and great difficulty . was experienced in beating it out. 2. Again both men cautious—at last Dick made his favourite left-handed job on Warren's nose, and drew his cork; Warren re. turned with his right, and, after a short rally, he was thrown, and Curtis fell gently. 3. Warren came up confident, and was thought to have none of the worst of it ; be made a lunge at Dick's body with his right, but was cleverly stopped. Dick then let lly again with his left, and a spirited rally followed, in which there was some good changes, but in favour of Dick. Warren was thrown. 4. Eights were now going on in all parts of the ring, and nothing but confusion prevailed. The two men were brought to the scratch, and commenced fighting. Warren bored Dick to the ropes and closed, and, after a sharp struggle for the fib, both went down. 5. The row was still going on, and several persons get within the roped ring. Warren then advanced, saying, " Don't let us fight, Dick ;" but Dick exclaimed, " What did you say you'd brat tree for?" and then, letting Hy right ar.d left, followed his nun to the ropes, and punished him dreadfully. Warren was at last thrown heavy. 6. Warren, finding he bad no chance, and dismayed by the dreadful disorder which continued, now said he would fight 100 more; and, shaking hands with Dick, thy matter was brought to a conclusion, to the great disgust of the Gentlemen by whom tits purse had been made, and who vowed they would never contribute to another. Dick is of course entitled to the twenty sovereigns, which were very easily earned..
