Ms, FARLEY, of Notting - hill, was called to the chair, and in opening the business said the new regulations as to the hours in which cattle should be driven through the streets of Loudon, lately issued by Sir Richard Mayne, were a most unjusti fiable interference with their trade, and one upon which they could not express too strong an opinion. It was a most unjust imposition upon them, that unless they made their purchaEes by eight o'cicck in the morning, they should be compelled to keep their cattle in the market until ten o'clock at night. That would be a most inhuman procecling, especi ally in the m on th s o f July and August, for t he animals wo u ld b e k ep t w ithout food and water , which they ought to have.

The morning opened bright and clear, and the course, which was firm, but not hard, was in splendid order. A new and commodious weighing room has been added to the stand since last year, Mhi c h is a great boon to the jockeys and the representatives of the Press; and who, together with the public, are solely indebted to Mr. Figes, the clerk of the course, for this additional comfort and accommoda tion. The enclosure was well filled by members from both the London and Manchester " schools," whilst the " upper ten" were well represented by the Earls of Portsmouth and Westmoreland, and a host of the nobility and gentry of the surrounding country. The sport was good through out, but in the afternoon some showers of rain came down, which slightly marred its enjoyment, and made the downs very bleak and cheerless.

There is of talent, a delicate taste, an endless richness and diversity of image, topic, and illusion : the landscape is most luxurious ; and the mtis!c of verse excellent."—Literary Budget. "Mr. Kent has undeniable merits—warm and high-toned feeling, a pleasant combination of grace and humour, and no smell power to individualise. Pope at Twickenham' is a cabinet picture. ' Marianne' will commend itself to all mothers by its gush of parental tenderness, and its acquaint ance with baby wiles and mysteries.

Mr. GIDLETT moved a resolution condemning the interference of Sir Richard Mayne with their trade, which might prove injurious to the public, by forcing many persoip, to make arrangements for the sale of their stock without bringing them to the me t ro p o litan market. The motion having been seconded, was put and carried unanimously. Mr. PAYNE moved the nest resolution, to the effect that it was the opinion of the ineeting that owners of stock, immediately on landing at whar yes, or arriving by railway, should be at liberty to drive them through the streets at any hour, and any re strictions to the contrary would be injurious to the public and inhuman to the stock. At some length he condemned the regulations of Sir R. Mayne, and contended that they were injurious to the public, an interference with their trade, and could not be car ried out in winter. Mr. HICKs seconded the motion, and said if he was compelled to purchase by eight or nine o'clock in the morning, it would add considerably to the cost of the cattle.

Newmarket, May 21. "The charm of Mr. Kent's poetry, as it is the first condi tion of success to all poets, is that he is in sympathy with his subject and not only with himself that he is truly poet and not egotist But it is by no means his only merit. Be is a mas ter of versification. The flout of his verse is smooth and me lodious, and enriched with a copious and ornate vocabulary. `Shelley at Marlow' is a painting exquisitely delicate. The vision of Shelley with which. Mr. Kent presents us is almost perfect 'DREAMLAND is a work conceived in a noble spirit, and executed With scholarly taste, frequently with flashes of true poetic inspiration. Ihe Dying Bridegroom' is distinguished by a genuine pathos, which leads us to be lieve that Mr. Kent would succeed eminently in some story of the affections."—The London Review. After a long delay at the post and many false starts, caused chiefly by Commander, Springwell's dam filly, Re prieve, Amalthea, and Surbiton breaking away, the flag was lowered in a heavy shower of rain. The Springwell's dam filly at ence shot to the front, having Merry Maid, Commander, and Surbiton in close order, Seahorse next, the favourite shut out. Half way up the straight the Springwell's dam filly increased her lead, and won in a canter by a length and a half; Seahorse was beaten three lengths for second place; Merry Maid, True Blue Reprieve, and Commander were next, all abreast. 3TETROPOLITAN AND THAMES VALLEY RAIL WAY BILL.

By P. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E., And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Aedical Circular.

"Mr. Kent's poems come before the World with the advan tage, not only of an author's name, but of a name already agreeably and musically known in the metrical literature of the day. His 'Aletheia' was very favourably received by the public, and has no doubt been the companion of many thoughtflil readers who will gladly welcome another volume from his pen. A series of portraits drawn with true poetic sympathy and veneration, The best of all, we think, is that of Scott. There is something in the lines that will' remind the reader of the chime of Scott's own verse."—John Bull. " Verses, many of them extremely tender and harmonious, and all indicating a mind carefully cultured and imbued with elegant tastes."--Daily News. "Poems of very considerable excellence. Fructidor 'is a very close and vigorous wohl-painting of an orchard. Mr. Kent's volume is healthy and vigorous in sentiment, correct in composition, and contains many happy touches of true fancy, very gracefully expressed."—The Critic. "The pictures Mr. Kent makes are carefully drawn and effectively coloured. His work is on the whole in good taste. It possesses the undeniable, yet, in these days, rare merit of intelligibility, and is, moreover, very readable."—The Art- World. " We like some of Mr. Kent's minor poems even better than 'Dreamland.' He is a real poet, unquestionably, and often versifies with extreme 'felicity. Of his poetic power the Monody on Lord Stra.ngford ' affords ample proof : while his capacity to make word-mnsi s i s shown in • The Morris Dancers.' "—The Press. "It was a conception worthy of a true poet to show the depth of his sympathy for the Great Masters of English Song, by devoting the outpourings of his Muse to their special illustration. There is not one of the many pictures here collected which is not perfect in all its parts —whether we consider the sentiment by which it is inspired, the truth of the local colour, or the beauty of the setting. With a thorough appreciation of character, Mr. Kent combines an admirable descriptive power and a masterly command of most mellifluous verse, so that, while the mind is fully gratified, the senses—so to speak —are equally charmed."— Bentley's Miscellany.

THE CROAGH PATRICK CASE AT GOODWOOD. The final hearing of this case took place at Messrs. Weatherby's office in London on Saturday, the 17th inst., before the Earl of Derby, the Marquis of Exeter, and the Earl of Zetland, to whom it had been referred, and in the presence of all the parties in the cause. of the pro,t;euiLigS a written state ment was put in on behalf Of Mr. Blake, in which it was submitted " 1. That the objections of Capt. Little and Sir Joseph Hawley not having been made till about six weeks after the Goodwood races wore too late. " 2. That the objections in each case having been made after the races, the burthen of proof lay with the objectors, and that, as when the case was partially heard before the stewards of Goodwood Races at Doncaster, the objectors failed to prove the disqualification of Croagh Patrick, and at the same time declared that they had no further evidence to produce the complaint ought to have been then dis missed." After this paper had been read at length and the points raised had been discussed for some time by all the parties present, the room was cleared. _ _ _ The referees having consulted together, their lordships agreed upon the following decision :- 44 Having considered the preliminary objections raised on behalf of Mr. Blake, we are of opinion that the fact of the complaint having alleged at Doncaster that they had no further evidence to produce, does not preclude us from en tering into the merits of the whole case, which, as we un derstand, has been referred to us by consent of all parties But we have much greater doubt as to the objection taken in point of time. We think it matter of regret that there should be no definite rule as to the limit of time within which an objection must be taken, in such cases as the present, and we strongly recommend that the Jockey Club should take this question into their early consideration. " Rule 17, applying to fraudulent entry of a horse by a false description; appears to be one of an unexceptionable character, and we are not of opinion that the present case can be fairly brought under that rule. On the other hand, the Goodwood rule would appear to imply that an objectioA should he taken in sufficient time to admit of a horse ob jected to being placed last in the race ; and upon these con siderations we do not think that we should be justified in entering upon the merits of the case with a view of dis qualifying Croagh Patrick.—(Signed) DERBY, EXETER, ZETLAND."

THE KENNINGTON TRAMWAY. --Last evening a special meeting of the vestry of St. Mary's, Lambeth, was held at the Vestry-hall, Kennington, to consider the ad visability of requesting Mr. Train to take up the tramway at the expiration of three months. Mr. Williams was in the chair. Mr. Goddard said the tramway was a nuisance, and the vestry had been threatened with actions for compen sation. In the late trial the judge refused to pass sentence upon the vestrymen ; but if the obstruction was continued that obstruction would bo taken into consideration. He thought that, as Mr. Train had complied with every do-. mend of the vestry, there would be no animus if they gave Mr. Train three months' notice to take up the tramway, as it would be better to give the notice than to take advan tage of any technical objection. If the vestry continued the tramway, they would incur a vast amount of responsibility. He then moved—" That Mr. Train be served with notice to take up the tramway at the expiration of three months from the present time."—Mr. Blake seconded the motion.—Mr. Roads moved " That Mr. Train take up the tramway forth with."—Mr. Fowler seconded the amendment.—After ad dresses from Mr. Doulton, M.P., Mr. Hills, Mr. Tayler, Mr. Hall, and others, the consideration of the question was postponed, after a division, till after the motion for a new tr i a l a t westraintiter. The screw steamship Sanspareil, 70, Capt. George L. G. Bowyear, went yesterday afternoon, from Plymouth Sound into Hamoaze, where her crew will be paid off, and she will be recommissioned. The Racehorse, 4, screw steam gunvessel, 6,945 tons, 200-horse power, Commander C. R. F. Boxer, has been brought down from her moorings 'among the despatch gunvessels of the first division of the steam reserve at Sheerness, and has moored at her own anchors in the stream, under theeye of theCom mander-in-Chief. Her officers have nearly all joined. The Cormorant, 4, screw steam gunvessel, Com mander C. M. Buckle, is also lying at anchor in the stream. Both the Racehorse and the Cormorant will probably figure prominently in the Naval Volunteer review at Southend, which will take place next month. The Controller of the Navy, Admiral-R. Spencer Robinson, visited Sheerness Dockyard on Wednes day, where he was received by Captain-Superin tendent C. Wire, aide-de-camp, Capt. Thompson, of the steam reserve, and the officials of the yard. The gallant admiral proceeded to the office of the Capt.- Superintendent, after which he inspected No. 2 dock, in which it is intended that an iron-cased vessel shall be built. This dock is admirably adapted for the purpose, and only requires some trifling additions to be made before the building of the vessel is commenced. The other docks were also inspected, after which Admiral Robinson was taken on board the iron-cased ship Resistance,4lB, 600 horse power, which is being fitted for the pen nant in the harbour. The gallant Admiral gave orders that the Chesapeake, 51, screw steam fri gate, should be broken up, owing to the great de fects in her timbers. It is believed that the Terrible, 21, paddlewheel, will meet the same fate, as she is rotten. The shipwrights of Sheerness dockyard having, through their officers, petitioned the Admiralty to be employed in building iron vessels, their lord- ships have expressed their gratification at finding that those workmen wish to he so employed, and will afford facilities to meet their views as oppor tunities may arise. It is considered by the heads of private as well as public establishments that the general work of iron shipbuilding will be better performed by shipwrights than by any other men, as they arc thoroughly familiarised with the form the various parts of a vessel should present, and the best modes of combination to secure uniform strength. The hired troopship Akbar, 819 tons, Captain Pizzey, belonging to Messrs. Lascomb, which arrived in the Thames, with troops from Ceylon, on the 21st instant, landed her detachments at Government Quay, Gravesend, yesterday, when the troops proceeded immediately to Chatham garrison. The Akbar sailed from Colombo on the 9th of Jan. last, and reached the Cape of Good Hope on the 25th of Feb. She sailed thence on the 28th, touched at St. Helena on the 13th of March, left the same day, and crossed the line on the 24th March. From the Cape frequent calms and light easterly winds were experienced, which prolonged the pas sage from Ceylon to the Thames to 133 days. The troops brought home include 77 non-commissioned officers and men of the 50th Queen's Own Regiment, 6 men of the Royal Artillery, 1 man of the Ceylon Rifles, and 4 prisoners belonging to the 50th, under sentence of court-martial. The whole are under the command of Capt. E. F. Tranchill, Ceylon Rifles, and Capt. M. S. M. G, A. Clarke, 50th Regiment, and in medical charge of Staff Assist.-Surg. A. J. Ferguson. Only one death occurred on board dur ing the voyage, that of Sergt. Murphy, 50th, who died on the 16th ult. After the troops had been medicallyinspected yesterday eight of the number were admitted into Fort Pitt Hospital for treatment. The Royal Artillery were forwarded to Woolwich. The Akbar brings home a number of cases of articles sent from Ceylon for the International Exhibition, together with a valuable cargo of cinnamon, coffee, plumbago, and oil, and, as passengers, Mrs. Col. Hamley and family, Mrs, Col. Maydwell and family, and Mr. Stevens, merchant, with Mrs. Stevens and family.

Davis's coachman, Wm. A. Jackson, a coloured man by ag .Ndnt profession, ears r D o u f ae e gv s o s irsp i o o ef, n no e , r aa a ani nd lbotbhue one et ewight truthfully te w ni; h to o hn m et ahep t so l i : lnal e sinee t dld e u. r he m andlei : i nss e lived he is enabled to furnish us with some secrets of State as well as to make us familiar with the natu ral history and habits of a rebel statesman. We learn that President Davis lives very plainly, and is reduced to drinking sassafras in the morning as a substitute for tea. He has four children,Maggief a daughter aged seven ; Jeff Davis, jun., about five years old; Joe, a truculent little fellow of three, and a baby rebel a month old last Christmas. None of the children are allewed to eat butter, as that commodity involves too great an expense. Jeff rises between 8 and 9 in the morning and comforts himself with a mint julep, sitting down to break fast and sassafras tea at teu. At 4 law takes a light lunch of crackers and cheese, varied with an occa sional herring, dining magnificently at 7. His dinner usually consists of St. Jullien soup, roast beef, ashcake—Jeff is very fond of ashcake, Jackson says —claret and sherry. Over his dinner Jeff grows confidential, and converses with his family. Jack son has heard him complain that while he was mak ing plans for holding positions his generals were engaged in preparing to evacuate them. The loss of Johnston he regrets greatly, saying that he can not be replaced. Jeff's hopes of success are dwind ling down, and his wife seems to say little to com fort him. She remarked the other day at table that she feared the Confederacy, to use a Yankee expres sion, was nearly ' played out ;' that if it was true that New Orleans had fallen she cared nothing for victories elsewhere. Nor does Jeff himself like the fall of New Orleans. He complains that it interferes with his plans regarding the navi gation of the Mississippi River, and will cost him three States Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas. It annoys him especially to think that all these places should be surrendered without any fighting, remarking, when General Johnston came to him to urge the evacuation of Manassas, that it might be a military necessity, but it would be the ruin of the cause.' Nor can he digest the fall of Fort Macon. In fact, we are warranted in supposing that, at pre sent, there is no more unhappy man in either the Confederate or United States than Jeff Davis. Jackson says that when news comes of a defeat he stretches himself out on the floor before the fire, and lies there half the night through, murmuring in his uneasy sleep of battles and of plans. He is very unpopular at present in Richmond, and Mrs. Davis complains very bitterly that none of the citizens call on her, except the few connected with the Government, After leading them to believe that he could do so much for them, he has done so little that they now see in him only a grave deceiver. Davis very much regrets the capture of Mrs, Green how, and expresses himself as anxious to catch a loyal lady to exchange for her. And now the story of Jeff Davis's coachman is told. Looking over my notes, I find nothing omitted save the un important fact that the rebel President wears blue jean pantaloons and a high silk hat; that he is in bad, health, and fond of horseback riding; that whisky is scarce in Richmond, and that in conse quence the whole country is one universal Rama. Jackson goes north to spend the summer, and if our President wants a coachmen I recommend him for the place. Tr.e fact of hie,thaving driven Jeffer son Davis without breaking hi'a neck is proof that he is entirely beyond temptation. " C. H. W." SERIOUs CHARGE. On Thursday forenoon Mr. John Biddle Amy, a highly respected underwriter and marine insur ance agent, was placed in the dock before Mr. Raffles, the stipendiary magistrate, at Liver pool, charged with felony by the chair man and directors of the Victoria Fire and Marine Insurance Company, whose head office is in London. Mr. Deighton, barrister, who ap peared for the prosecution, said that the gentle men for whom he appeared were resident in London. The prisoner at the bar was the secre tary of the company in Liverpool. He was paid by a salary and commission, and the office which he occupied here was rented by the company. The London office was managed by a person named Case, but he had recently been suspended in conse quence of certain frauds which had been discovered by the directors. In consequence of documents having been extracted from the London office, Mr. Whitham, the chairman of the Board is London, and two other of the directors, with the solicitor, yesterday went down to Liverpool, and to the office of the company, for the purpose of taking possession of the documents and all letters and papers in the Liverpool office. The prisoner was absent at the time, but soon after came in. Mr. 'Whitham desired him to open an iron chest in the room, the key of which he had, but he refused to do so, and sent for Mr. Pemberton, his solicitor. After an intervieNs: between this gentleman and the directors and their solicitor, it was agreed that the safe should be opened and the papers taken out, but the prisoner suddenly went to the safe and took possession of the documents in it. He ref used to give them up, and rushed out of the office with them. Mr. Whitham followed him, and they had a struggle. Eventually papers, statingho persisted that iniiisrefusatlhteopgriivsoenuer returned, up r t e he rn p e a d p , they wero private. Subsequently it was arranged that Mr. Whitham should see them. They w ere produced, and he had time to observe that they Were printed with the company's heading, and in the handwriting of the manager in London. A second time the prisoner took possession of them, u a ffi r g and n t rushing to the door , ha nded the m to some p erson ' outside, who took them away.

After a lengthened cross - examination of this witness, Mr. Pemberton, the prisoner's solicitor, contended that there was no case for a remand. Mr. Raffles thought it was for the were his p apers , prisoner to show that they In the absence of evidence to the contrary, he should hold that they belonged to the company. After the examination of the clerk of the prisoner, whose evidence was not considered sufficient to prove that they were the private pro perty of the p r i soner , the latter was remanded tor a week, bail being accepted for his appear ance, himself in £5O, and two sureties iu £250 each.

A history of the proceedings of the last few days may not be uninteresting. On the whole, it may be said things are very much as they were at the latter end of last week, when the p ilin g Mary's-bridge gave way, and the forma tion of a dam was abandoned as hopeless until the n ea p tides, at St. The situation is still very much the same. No barrier has yet been erected to breast the tidal waters. The " gull" in the bank increases in size, every tide, of course, wearing away some portions of the bank. Attempts have been made to prevent the opening becoming wider by the sinking of numerous sacks of clay, which will prevent the further wearing away of the bank. But the alarm of the country has not been allayed. Indeed, it has much in creased on the south-east side of the middle level river by reason of the bank on that side having given unmistakeable signs of weakness. This weak place is precisely opposite the breach in the north west bank. At low tide the water has flowed with some force off the drowned district by the same open ing by which it entered, and has had the effect of making a hole of several feet in the opposite bank. Steps have been taken to strengthen this bank, and it is hoped it has been effectually secured; but the danger cannot really pass away from it until the dam at the lower end of the middle level river is completed. The return of the spring tides is looked forward to with much fear, as it is generally believed that the bank, unless most carefully and perse , vexingly strengthened, cannot resist their force. Should this bank give way, the disaster will 1J quite equal, at least, to that which has befallen the country on the other side, The district on the south east side is equal, if not superior in fertility to that, now submerged; while it is more thickly studded with comfortable and thriving farmsteads. Within a mile and a half, too, there is the populous 'flag° of Magdalen, which must inevitably be swamped by the Hood should it burst over that side. On Satur day, Sunday, and Monday, nothing was done at the sluice-end of the river towards making a bar rier to the sea. The failure of the previous efforts seems to have paralysed all engaged, and much con sultation and discussion ensued as to what was the best to be done next. Meanwhile the water spread over the district further and further, and on Sunday hundreds of strangers from all parts visited the spot. Several skiffs have plied about the lake. On Monday it was known that the assistance of Mr. Muller had been gained—a gentleman who took a prominent part in the works of the Norfolk Estuary a few years back. It seems singular that in times of difficulty this district has sought the aid of the skill of Dutch engineers, from the time of Ver Inuyden to the present. M. Muller at once set about trying a system well known in Holland, and called " craddling," hoping by this means to be able to erect a dam. Cradles are made of timber and osiers, and these are filled with sacks of clay or gravel . , The cradles themselves let through the water, ana only serve to hold their contents together and secure them in the spot in which they are deposited.. But impelled by a strong this effort was doomed in the first instance to failure. One of the barges used from which to lower the cradle wes unfortunately secure g d av b e y w a a n y, anchor.
