1• I SPORTING •7to 1 a - pt Denis.. T to 1 aist Maur& .LIGENCE. -riP--. EPSO M RACES. Mr. Goddard'sb. c. by Smolcnsko, 3 yrs. THIRD DAT, THURSDAY, MAT 25. Epsom Races, from their vicinity to the Metropolis, present an animated scene during the whole of the four days; but, on the Derby day% it is so totally unequalled that it is hardly possible to describe the OW ensemble. The ride to the Course, the meeting of friends, the walk in the Warren. the interest in the horses, the sight of the gay equipages, with their `test adornment, lovely woman, all contribute to a great effect, and by coming once a-year, almost ap pear to mark the stealing bouts of time; and though ;heir return brings to out recollection that we are one year older since last we saw them, the remembrance is any thing but unpleasant. Not ithstatiding the tumultuousness of the meeting, there is a sociality about it which reconciles us to its inconvenience; and, when on the hills, gut rounded by thousands of cheerful faces, every disagreeable feeling is removed, and it almo,t becomes a business to form one of the immense assembly. At an early hour in the morning the ' " note of preparation is sounded," and but few hours elapse ere zit are on the move—col onetted landaus, barouches and four, curricles, chaises, gigs, cabs, coaches, waggons, carts, and every other descrip tion of vehicle are in requisition, with the thousands of equestrians and the more humble yokels, who trudge their weary way, anxious to witness the sports of the day, and, when they get a glimpse of the scene of action, hasten on as if they Were the actual competitors foe the prize. To describe the scene of yesterday would be im possible ; let the most unbounded latitude be given to the most vivid imagination, it will fall far short of the reality. On a moderate com putation, upwards of 100,000 were present on this occasion. The very unfavourable state of the weather did not appear to have any effect; for, at a very early hour, the roads began to assume a very animated look, and by ten o'clock, the usual indiscriminate line of c-irriages, carts, and other vehicles, rendered them almost impasuble, the whole string being Staioetimes stopped for nearly an boar. Accidents out of number occurred, and two or three horses were killed, but we did not hear of any thing more serious By about one o'clock, the majority of the people reached the Conrse, and then We were able to ascertain that the following No blemen, Gentlemen, &c. were present: Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of York and Gloucester. The Dukes of Grafton, Portland, and Richmond ; Marquises Blandford, Graham, Titehfield, and Exeter ; Earls Jersey, Vera - hm, Stradbrooke, rford,&c. Lards Fitzroy, Dunwich, lientinck, Cavendish, Harborough, and General Grosvenor, Sir J. Shelley, Colonel Russell, G. R. Robertson, Esq. Messrs. Greville, Irby, Wyatt, Fleming, Stanhope, ace. &c. The knowledge that the General and Panic would not start de prived the day's sport of half Its interest, and the incessant rain threw a damp upon the whole. The betting on this great Stakes has, from . the beginning to the end, been of that extraoldinary nature that will not admit of ex planation, and it is well known that the safest betters and best cal. culators on the Turf have bad very great difficulty to make their books square • indeed it is a matter of doubt if there was a really tofu Derby b ook at all previous to the decision of the Stakes. The fluctuations have been unparalleled throughout, some of the fa vourites, having.been not only thrown into the back ground, but absolutely forgotten; such as Cedric, Bolivar, Gramarie,&c. Of late the General has been a perfect Shuttlecock in the betting cir cles; be has knocked about from the bottom to the top, and back again alternately, and without mercy, an enormous stem Wang it Make; all Newmarket was on him, and nothing else; so that k nizy b e supposed not a little interest was excited as loos as there,* was in abeyance: its effect may be imagined. 3 .,, About a quarter before two, the Jockies, being orAlied, w entto the Starting Post, nineteen innumber, but it was tset till a quar. ter befaru three that they went off, when was sledded the great DERBY STAUS.

A good - deal was done just before starting, but only making Premier a better favourite at 2 to 1. Tea Race—At the signal, they went off at a good pace, Shah spear.: took the lead, and made the running up the bill to Tattenham Corner, with Carthage, Dorina, Twatty, Dervise, and the Mosiem, closely laid to him ; soon after they got tolerably well landed at • Tattenham Corner, Shakspeare still in front at the ropes, Twatty came up, and gut a-head, keeping the lead, with Shakspeare and the claw at his quarter • they continued at a famous pace to the end, when Twatty won the great Derby Stakes by a length, cleverly. The favourite, Premier, was done up at the Duke of York's llulthing•lsouse--notwithstanding Chiffney was very liberal with both whip and spur, he could not go any further, and came in last. The Baron and Truth were beat a long way from home, while Monarch, the Moslem, Rush, &c. came in with the crowd. The result was totally unexpected, and may produce some unplea sant consequences, but Tuesday next, at Tattersall'e will chew. (*urge Dockery rode the winner, Shakspeare byßarnard, Ad villCO by S.

SETTING ON TEM NAXII. 7to 4 ' o pt Problem, and 4to 1 apt Forth's two. Vert Iltd4 done. Having now brought our notice of the legitimate sports of the day to a dose, we may be allowed to remark, that the return from the races was essentially different in character to the journey to them - . The bouyaccy of spirits of these who, went for amusement, and the feverish • auxitty of chose whom object was business, had alike vanished, and in many instances given plat=e to the delusiye excite. meat to inebriety. The joyous hearts who, in the morning, had a nod or wink, and a, merry answer, (or the road-side wits, were now mere pas.ivs Luis for their coarse unbridled raillery, which was pointed as well at their alsered desaleamour, as at their habili ments. which. from the state of the roads, and the confusion of the race•course, had experienced a metantorphosis,as complete as lithe magic sword of Ha elegant bad been at work, smarting under the lash of ridicule, freely and indiscriminately bestowed. There were nut a few who blessed themselves, when they brought their jaded horses, and no less jaded selves, to a comfortable anchorage at home. The kgs will make a rich harvest by Brother to Twatty winning the Derby. He was an outside horie, and scarcely thought of, so that no money of int On sequence was laid against him. The sportink circles are all in uproar, in consequence of The General. being withdrawn. Several leading men have declared their intention of not paying on him. At the Middlesex Adjourned Sessions, yesterday, Mr. Alichacl Abrahams was convicted of an ;assault on Jacob C. he.n, on the 12 h April. and sentenced to pay a tine of 6". sd. arid to enttr into recogniaances to keep the peace for one year.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY 2S. WILLIAMS AND OTHERS V. WILLMAN. This was an action to recover 501. money had and received by the defendant. The defendant pleaded that he was not liable, on which issue was joined. Mr. Ser jeant WILDE, and Mr. CAMPBELL. conducted the plain tiff's case ; Mr. SerjeglM. ADAMS, and Mr. HUTCHINSON,. the defendant's. The plaintiffs wet e bankers, the defendant kept money at their house. Among other sums was one of fifty pounds which had been paid in. This,"it appeared, had been entered in the pass book twice. In consequence of this doUble entry, credit for one bundled pounds had been given to the defendant. The acti •n was therefore brought to recover the above sum. at the part of the defendant, the son of that person was called, who deposed that there had been two sums of 504 paid in, and that he had seen the entries made in the pass-book. The Jury, having consulted some minutes, teturne4 a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages .150. Costs, 40,. LITILift AND ANOTHIta V. HUDSON. This was an action of assumpak, for goods bargained and sold Plea, the general issue. It appeared that in February, last year, the defendant purchased of the plaintiff twenty-nine chests of lac-dye, at the rate of four shillings per pound. and agreed to pay for the same in the following month of May. Be fore the time of payment had arrived, the price of the commodity had fallen in the market, and the defendant applied to the plaintiffs for an extension of credit, and deposited with them three chests of sapphire, by way of collateral security. The market price es:winning to fall, the plaintiffs gave the defendant notice, that unless he paid for the dye by a given day, they would sell it, and resort to him for any loss upon the amount of the on• ginal invoice price. On the 21st July they effected a sale accordingly, at Ss. per pound, and a loss of 3331. ISt. arising, they brought this action for the purpose of recompensing themselves. The question left to the Jury was, whether the plaintiffs bad agreed to give the defendant an exte nsion of credit, for if they had, then the Learned Judge told the Jury that such an agreement. would be a waiver of any claim to damages. The Jury found for the defendant. PUBLIC SALES. MAY 2S. By Mr. HOGGAIiT.

TATTERSALL'S, SIAY 25.—There was no attendance here to-day : all the betting-men were at Epsom. Rohm MAY I—A deputation of Mineralogists and Architects has been sent to the isle of Elba, in ord.r to examine Whether certain columns could not be em ployed in the repair of the Church of St. Paul. We understand that the report which they have made is favourable, and that it has been resolved to enter into a negociation for the purchase of them. The plan for the improvement of the long street of the Corso, is to be at length carried into effect, and the execution to be entrusted to Messrs. Fumaroli and Vitelli, who have contracted to perform it for 280,000 scudi. We do not know in what these improvements will consist, except in the level ing of the street, and the removal of the raised loot path on each side. These foot ways may, in some respects, be disagreeable to the eye, but we should be sorry to have them levelled, as they afford a great protection to the foot passengers at these seasons of the year, when the street is crowded with carriages. We wish that the plan of improvement may include the removal of some ugly stables; the beautifying the fronts of many houses, the cleating away of all kinds of stalls and booths which offend the eye, and the substitution of pipes, to carry off the water from the roofs, for the in. convenient projecting water spouts. It was rumoured yesterday in this city (says the Philadelphia National Gazette), that Colonel BURR had proceeded to Washington, with the intention to call Mr. RANDOLPH to account, for having termed him a scoundrel in one of h:3 speeches in the Senate, whikh has been published in most of the newspapers.—Altae rican Paper. a DREADFUL MURDERS. /RCM MANdIIESTIR JOURNAL. Toesli.sy night, a dreadful murder was perpetrated, between Patr'croft and Worslev. Abcut ten tt'clock, two men entered the public-house the Jolly Carter, kept by Joseph Blears, and called for liquor. They had not sat long before they urged the landlord to join them, upon whom they pressed glass after glass, till he became intoxicated. They inquired whether they could be accommodated with a bed, when an answer was returned in the affirmative. About twelve o'clock they signified their intention to retire, end were shewn to an upper chamber by the servant girl. Immediately on reaching the door of the room, one of them turned open the female, and aimed a blow at her with a knife. In the struggle, and with a view to defend herself, she held up her hands, and the fingers of one of them were nearly cut off. They next made a dreadful stroke at the throat, and nearly severed the head from the body. A boy in an adjoining room, who was in such a situation as to see what was going for ward, leaped out of bed, and in his terror threw himself over the rails of the staircase, and flew out at the door. The men instantly followed, and, in running down stairs, met the mistress of the house, who had heard the noise, , and was on her way to inquire into the cause. The' man who held the knife, which was still reeking with' human blood, struck at her with all his strength, added to which was the weight of his own person, on his rapid descent down the stairs. The instrumer.t entered I:er cheek, and penetrated the bone, where it was left by the villain, who, with has companion, pursued the boy who had escaped. The poor lad fortunately succeeded in concealing himself in a ditch near the place. The mnr derers, probably fearing that he had given the alat fled. The landlord was unable to render any assistance; and there is little doubt, from the circunasttnce of their having teuced him to a state of helplessness, that they had contemplated the murder of the whole family. The servant girl was murdered on the spot; and the land lady, though living, is in a very dangerous state, the knife having been struck with such violence into the bone, that the blade was completely carved, and it took a considerable time to extract it. Pursuit after the murderers is makibg in every direction ; and, as it is stated that one of them is known, we entertain a hope that they will not be long permitted to escape the punishment due to such deeds of blood. PROM THE LEEDS INDEPENDENT. Early on Friday night last an atrocious murder was committed in the neighbourhood of Bedale, on the body of a respectable farmer. The perpetrators of this dia bolical act remain as yet undiscovered. It appears that two men, who wore blue coats, passed in the direction of Boroughbridge, through a toll-bar, cal!ed Butcher House. bar, on the Leeming-lane road, about five o'clock on Saturday morning. It has since been ascertained, that on the same day two men with blue coats, and trowsets full at the top, were seen at Boroughbridge, where, at a coach-office, they were inquiring for the earliest conveyance to Leeds. They took no places, bet went by the Pilot coach. One man was taller than his companion. On the Friday, three men of suspicious appearance had been seen together in the vicinity of the place where the foul deed was perpetrated, and had been very insolent to the inhabitants of some farm houses; it is supposed that if the murder were com mined by this party, one of them might have departed for Leeds by one of thecoaches on theLeeming-lane road. It is believed that the unfortunate man, at the time he was murdered. had some money upon his person. Friday he had received at the Leyburn Bank a bill for twenty-six pounds, dated London, March 9, and drawn by Hegar and Co. upon J. and A. Vincent, Little St. Thomas Apoltle, London; and in addition to this, it is thought that he was possessed of some of the notes of either the Richmond or Leyburn Bank of Messrs. Hut ton, Other, and Cr. The e Rev. T. W. Morley, of Kirklington, near Bo roughbridge, York, has inert most active in his endea vours to find out the wretches who have been guilty of this murder. The Mayor of this Borough received in formation of the affair on Sunday, since which time, Mr. Read, our Chief Constable, has been diligent in his search after the villains. It seems that two men did arrive in Leeds on Saturday night by the Pilot Coach, but they departed without exciting any suspicions as to their chiracter. Livenrool., MA* 24.—Our Cotton market has been very steady in prices, with a good demand ; and about 8,000 hales sold up to the evening. Plantation produce is dull and heavy. The ugenerous Frenchman," mentioned in a former Paper,, as having relieved a poor debtor confined in Lan caster Castle, is believed to be Count MONTHOLON, who, with his lady, passel through Manchester some days ago. The Act for building a New Prison instead of the present Bridewell in Tothill-fields, received the Royal Assent a few days since. Its execution is to be con fided to twenty-five Commissioners, fifteen of them Magistrates for Middlesex, and the other ten Justices of Westminster. The Irish Emigrants brought into Plymouth a few weeks since in the Brailsford, bound to New Bruns wick, have been supplied with such quantities of provi sions as were required to complete the voyage, at the Tole expence of Mr. THOMAS Poe; the owner of the Brailsford, who was not bound by his contract to fur -1 nigh more than fuel and water. Other donations, among which were a contribution of one day's pay from the officers and men of the MI Regiment in Plymouth gar rison, and a subscription raised at the Roman Catholic Chapel at Stonehouse, were distributed in medicine and additional comforts for those on board, who are thus by the generosity of Englishmen placed in situation Much More desirable than when they originally left their homes. The Brailsford has sailed fbr her destination. The East India Company's old territory, commonly' known in Europe by the name of Bengal, occupying the space of 162,000 square British Miles, contained M I 1820, thirty-nine millions six hundred and seventy-nine thousand souls, exhibiting a denser population than auyl equal portion of the globe, China not excepted. Walking sticks first began to be a requisite appen dage to the gentlemen of fashion aboot the year 1655, at which time they were formed with an indented head, in order to afford a More easy pressure of the hand which they supported. Ingenuity, which in matters of 4stshion is for ever on the alert, now crowned them With the addition of a round and hollow top, which some times contained nutmeg or ginger, to warm the stomach of the valetudinarian, and sometimes sugar-candy for the asthmatic; but snuff soon after coming jet° uni versil use among tie bon ton of society, the cavity was exclusively appropriated to it s reception ; and the meet ing of two friends was inv4riably marked, alter the first salutation, by the unscrewing of the tops of their walk ing sticks.

Saturday, the 10th Regiment of Font, stationed in Galway, were reviewed by Major-General TAYLOR. The fineness of the day induced the presence of number.; of ladies and gentlemen, and the scene was altogether very attractive. In the evening the officers entertained tbe Marquis of SLIGO and the General in elegant style; —The festive joys were kept up until a late hoar. On Sunday the hospitable ball of the Marquis received, amongst niimetims otter guests, the General and the Officers of the 10:h.

An information was laid on the Statute 6th Geo. IV. cap... 110. sec. 27, against Hobert Shewan, Captain of the brig Diana, just an rived from the coast of Africa, with a valuable cargo. The information was laid by the ownets, Messrs. Williamson and Watson, who attended with Mr. Cutterell, their Solicitor, to support ft. The Captain also attended, accompanied by Mr. Dobler, Jun. as his Solicitor. Alderman LUCAS, who presided for the Lord Mager, after having read the information,eequired the Captain to ilea& The Captain said he was not guilty. Mr. Holder, jun. stated that it would be but proper that the Alderman should be informed how it happened that the Captaiia appeared before hint. The ship was sent trona Liverpool to the Isle de Loss, on the coast of Africa, lost year. Soon after her ar rival there the then Captain died, and afterhim the mate, and the neat in command. No officer having been left in the .hip, applica tion was made by the consignee of the cargo to the Naval Qfficer in command on that station, for the appointment of some person Ina. , lifted to navigate her. The Commanding Officer had no person to whom to entrust this important charge. The consignee of the cargo was therefore obliged to select some person himself to under take the duty; and Captain Shewan being master of a coasting vessel In that part of the world, was offered and accepted the com mand, and bi, name was endorsed on the Register in the regular way. The Captain bad brought the ship to England, and on ar riving in London, he had reported her to the Custom-house, and exhibited his papers and the register to the proper officer appointed to ermine such document:, who, after having satisfied himself of their corectueu, returned them to him. The Captain bad disbursed considerable sums on account of the ship, having been obliged. amongst other things, to take up some fresh hands to assist in nevi gatfilg her into the Thames, on account of the sickness of part of the crew, and had tent hie account to the owner, and was ready ts: verify it by the vouchers in his possession. The owners had offered to refer the account to two brokers, to which proposition the Captain had agreed, and he therefore considered himself entitled to detain the register, until the matter should be settled. After a long discussion, Alderman Lucas said, it appeared to him that, according to the Act, there must be a " wilful ' detention of the register. Now that h ad not been shown, for the Captain had complied with the law immediately en arriving in London by going to the Custom-house, and exhibiting his Manif e st and feegis— ter to the proper Officer. He (Alderman Lucas) considered himself bound to dismiss the information, and hr at the same time handed the Register to the Captain, and directed him to be ready at all times to produce it when required by a Custom-house (Meer. We understand that the Captain was taken into custody two or three days before this, on a warrant issued by the Lord Mayor,: who, when the defendant came to the Mansion House, lase the afternoon, with the officer, required him to shew him the Register. His Lordship then Impounded the Register, and set the Captain at liberty on his parole. GUILDHALL. Mr. Montague, landlord of the Axe, in Grub•street, appeared, IS closeequence of a large quantity of stolen property having beers wiled in his house. The premises of Mr. Danby, bair-dregier, In the Temple, were entered by thieves on Sunday, who carried off Serjeant Spankie's silk gown, a heap of tails and curls of lawyers wigs, brushes, &c. Ott Wednesday, Mr. Danby !taint that Air. Montague, accompanied by a man, had offered some of the brushes for sale ; and Hawkins, the Marshalman, in consequence, went Iu• search the premises, when a large portion of the stolen property was discovered In a room. Mr. Montague said, the room was wholly occupied by a lodger s whom he admitted into the house Li fortnight ago, without making any inquiry after his character. His lodger bad asked him where he could sell a lot of brushes, and he had merely introduced Mine to a person is that line. His lodger bad disappeared since the filer— shaman's visit. Sir Joint Piteasigo thought the publican's lack of curiosity, as to his new customer's character, was a little singular; hot rill ate quitted him of all knowledge of the property being stolen, and mused him. Alr. Se:gnat Spantiie's gown, and another belonging to a bar rister, were ordered to be restored immediately, but the rest of the property was retained for the present. BO W-ST BEET.
