SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS, The Catholic Relief Bill was this morning read a third time and passed, amidst the enthusiastic cheers of a triumphant majority. It is a victory of which the beneficial consequences will be felt to the remotest generation, giving peace and happiness to Ireland,dignity and strength to Great Britain. Now, at length, the union of the three nations has begun : hitherto it has been only nominal, for what concord could exist between the serf and his master—be tween the suspicious oppressor and the murmuring victim ? The chains now are struck off, and the Irishman and the Briton may henceforth look each other in the face with equal confidence and mutual The Duke of Newcastle, it seems is going to Windsor one of these day', to enlighten his Majesty, touching the Coronation Oath, and divers other matters. Old Lord Eldon carried down a chariot load of petitions to the same place on Saturday lase—a load so enormous, as to compel the Ex chancellor, with all his wariness on such occasions, to put four horses to his carriage, when a pair might otherwise have served him. Now, had the pe titions been booked by coach or caravan, the parcel, bulky as it was, could not well have stood above five or six shillings; so that the difference war, we dare say, nothing short of a couple of sovereigns at the lowest. So costly a sacrifice for the public good has surely seldom been submitted to—at least by the Noble Earl, But the Duke of Newcastle makes a second voyage to Windsor. We had really thought that his Grace would learn some prudence from his last attack on Windsor. Does lie, can he imagine, that the King, having reasoned himself into the political necessity for granting relief to the Ca tholics, will be raved or grumbled out of it by him? Is his Majesty so impaired by time ? Is his discern ing intellect so impaired, or his vigorous and reso lute Velition so shaken, that any dull Lord who c laims a n audience in virtue of his peerage, may hope to wheel the R o y al sentiments round, and make the King retract this day W the solemn declarations of the da y preceding? e will tell these disturbers what they have in their power—and how little. They may force their way to the Sovereign's presence—they may present their petitions --they may offer their advice, even should that advice go to convulse the empire to its centre; but beyond a dignified and courteous reception— beyond a trial of the King's patience—beyond the satisfaction of having intruded on, disturbed, and tormented him—beyond the ceremony of being Lowed out with a grace—their importunities ' just leave the Cumberland cause where they found it—that is to say, in the mire. Were it only to save his Majesty these most unwelcome and irksome visitations, we are anxious to see the thing at rest, which it bids fair to he, by has b Mond een ay the 13th of April. A direful attempt made at Hereford, to prevail !Ton his Majesty to refuse the Royal Asse nt to the Bill, in case of its passing the two Houses of Lords and Commons.-- Y es , a public meeting was actually called for the purpose of addressing to the Sovereign that wise, honest, and tranquillizing counsel ; but, as will be seen from our account of the proceedings, " the pe tition—missed fire." In fact, the liberals were too powerful for the bigots; Cbe High Sheriff dissolved the meeting:, and so there is an end of Hereford and its civil-war-politicians. — Mid . When we stated the other day that the English and French Ambassadors were on the point of woe seeding to Constantinople , we were not aware of the fact, which has since reached us, that a change might not improbably take place in the person of the British Ambassador. We have since under. stood that Mr. Stratford Canning has, from various ~eases which it is unnecessary to detail, expressed a wish to be relieved from the onerous duties which he "has so long and so ably sustained. Thas much, how ever, we may state with confidence, that his retire ment at this j uncture does not involve the slightest impeachment or disapprobation of his conduct on the part of Government, who will, we are sure, be the first to acknowledge the zeal and ability which he has uniformly maniCested in the public service. Indeed, if there were no other reason to lead us to this conviction, the faithful adherence of the present Administration to the con ditions of the treaty of July would be sufficient te persuade us, that they can only view with feelings of sincere regret the loss of Mr. Canning's valuable assistance to the cause in which he had been so long and so cordially engaged. Mr. Robert Gordon, the brother of Lord Aberdeen, is, we believe, to be the successor of Mr. Stratford Canning. Mr. cordon has at least one advantage: being in Lyndon at pre sent, he has the opportunity of possessing himself more thoroughly of the views and intentions of Go vernment than they can be explained even in the most copious and diffuse despatches to one at a dis saeee.—lbid. The Earl of Cawdor gave, last night, an account of the conduct of a Clergyman, at a Meeting of the County of Pembroke, who seems to have acted in a most diageaceful manner. " He advised the people (said his Lordship) to implore his Majesty to dis• solve the Parliament, that he may know how ill he was advised by his present hypocritical and cowardly . Ministers. He called on them to resist the Catho lics, as they would answer it before Christ, on the peril of their salvation. If they did not wish here after to suffer with Socinians, Deists, Infidels, he told them they must sign the petition against the Catholics. The High Sheriff was obliged, in con sequence of the tumult which arose, to dissolve the Meeting • and the excitement had been so great, in! consequence of these inflammatory proceedings, that the people broke the windows of those who were known to be faeeeurable to the Catholics, and threw fire into the house' of one person." In another part of the Island, L w eeerkshire, we hare a case which almost equals the above, Mr, W. F. Canephell stated, " that the Reverend Ctentlemen in queseion had said that those who sacrificed the;: religion by refusing to sign the petition, would find on the last day that they would be in the same con dition as the wretched inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah, when the wrath of Heaven was falling on their heade." Men did not like, said Lord Cawdor, to be pointed out a; Socinians, Deists, and infidels. How fond. pre Clergy are of calling names. No thing is to tee done without calling names. He is a Socinian—he a Latitudinarian —he is a Neolo. gist—an infidel. name is half the battle.— Socinian seems to be now thought the best name for throwing at any 01::'• The very idea of being taken for a Socinian, .;*; enough to induce one of the orthodox to hang :[."E .-21 . 1 - - "When the Bill was in progress which allowed ~./ 1* Quakers, in certain cases, to substitute affirmation for swearing, the Clergy in and about London, in a petition to the Legislature, stated a number of dreadful consequences which would follow from the measure ; and with more naivete than would perhaps be displayed now, they observed in the very outset that thereby " the legal maintenance of the Clergy by tithes would be in a more especial manner endan lereele." The Protest of several of the Bishops and Peers against the Bill show that the Tempora: Quaker was the black dog of that day. Dissentient : " Because we loole upon the Quakers, who reject the t vo Sacraments of Christ, and are so far as unworthy o' the name of Christjens, to be on that account un w irthy also of receiving such distinguishing marks of favour. Because the 'Quakers, as they renounce the institutions of Christ, so they have not given even the evidence by law required of their belief of his Divinity." When this measure shall become a law, what is to be done ? There must be some sect or other to abuse—for what would be value of or. tbodoxy, were it not for the privilege of abusing which it gives ?—Morning Chronicle. The Catholic Relief Bill has at length made its ',way through the House of Commons. An Amend. rnent was moved to the Motion for the Third Read ing, that the Bi!1 be reid a third time this day six months; and the discussion lasted till a late hour this morning:, when a division took place. The numbers were— For the Amendment Against it Majority for the third reading... 17S Mr. Peel supplied a comment on some of the statements of Sir Charles Wetherell, which rather placed his Anti-Catholic fervour in a questionable light. " The Hon. Gentleman did assist in drawing the Bill for the Suppression of the Catholic Asso ciation. He thought it was not fair to ask his assistance in drawing the Bill to put down the Catholic Association, without communicating to the Honourable Gentleman the whole intention of the Government, as far as the principle of the measure was concerned. The Honourable Gen tleman made no objections—he assisted in drawing the Bill to suppress the Catholic Association. He did more. He assisted us with his loyal advice in drawing up the present Bill, both as respects the law of endowments and ecclesiastical charities. It was not until the 23d of February that the Hon. Gentleman expressed any opinion against the mea sure, or any determination not to draw the Bill. Parliament met on the sth of February.—(Hear, hear.)" —What ! so that was dirty work on the 23d of February, which was so little so before that date that Sir Charles, that paragon of delicacy and purity, had no objections to assist in it ! Having made up his mind to have nothing more to do with the measure, he could not then abuse it too much. The scene was peculiarly animated towards the close. The cheering of the supporters of the Bill Was deafening. Upwards of fifty Members from different sides of the House thronged round Mr. Peel, and shook hands with him in a cordial and en thusiastic manner. The scene changes this day to the other House, to which the interest is now trans ferred.—lbid. No Administration, within our memory, has ever been so inefficiently supported by its Law Officers as the present. The Mastership of the Rolls, which, in the times of Lord Kenyon, Lord Alvanley, and Sir William Grant, was looked up to as the great and most efficient law authority in the House of Commons, is held now by one who is not so much as a Member of the Legislature, and who, if he were, would be unable, from long-continued bodily infirmity, to attend in his place. The Attorney- General (the Ex-Attorney-General we should ra ther say) has, to the astonishment of his political employers as well as his professional brethren, pre ferred his conscience to his interest ; and has actually. ventured (a thing scarcely ever heard of in 'West minster Hall before) to introduce such a word as " consistency" into the legal vocabulary ; and has actually mutinied against the Commander. The Solicitor-General, upon whom, owing to the defec tion of his leader, the whole weight and responsibi lity of preparing the Catholic Bills have devolved, seems to have executed his task in so mediocre a manner, that, on coming out of the Committee, he finds his banding so mangled and deformed, that scarce an original feature (or clause) is discernible— a ciicumstance which gave rise to a celebrated No- Popery joker to say, that the Learned Gentleman had a right to complain of a clan:lva fregit in every line. What is still more remarkable is, that the Learned Solicitor has not attempted to supply by argument his apparent defects as a draftsman, but has borne the mangling of his offspring, and the taunts and contumely of Sir Charles Wetherell, with equal philosophical silence and indifference.— And here, if we except a word or two from Mr. Sug den, ends the whole pf the Duke's legal strength in the Commow. In the Lords, the venerable ex- Chaneellor, Lord Eldon, like a" giant refreshed," wields the powerful weapons of experience and con sistency. Li Lord Plunkett the Duke has, we ad mit, a powerful Law Advocate; and great curiosity is expressed to see what line the eminent Chief Jus tice of England will take upon this occasion. From the Lord Chancellor much may be expected, if his Lordship has the dexterity to get over the awkward avowals whieli so recently escaped from his own lips as Master of the Rolit3, nut, at best, the Duke must be admitted to get much less from the lawyers than the lawyers get from him.,,,,Morniv, Herald.

The Roman Catholic Relief B:11 was last night or rather this morning, read a third time and passed The Commons of England have thus done their duty they have performed the great—the last act 01 justice which alone was wanting to heal up the wounds of a generous people, and impart vigour and unity to the Government of the country. Nothing could be more triumphant than tl e manner in which this virtuous measure was carried :hrougb. So soon as the Bill was passed a number of Gentlemen, without reference to party fee ngs, went up to Mr. PEEL and congratulated him upon the glorious success of his labours lees known here : M. ;eubert continues to see the Reis Effendi from in a manner as enthusiastic as it was gene time to time, hilt these interviews are uninteresting, and will be so till the return of the answers from Paris and rouse They literally crowded round the Right London. " The Porte hopes that the represen t a ti v es of the Courts Honourable Gentleman with an earnestness and of Prance and England will be sent to Constantinople or fervour almost overwhelming—shaking him by some piece in the vicinity, to come to a final arrangement. "It is supposed that Russia , entire l y occup i e d by at the hand with the cordial homage and congratu tention to its own hateizat, has agreed that the affairs of lation of kindred spirits who had themselves partici- G reeeee shall be treated by the v.rvo Plenipotentiaries: it ated so largely under his banners in achieving the has promised its assent to whatever m ay be done, and we P do not see any thing to oppose t his arrangement. It is goo d fi g ht. And well has the Right Honourable even thought that when this arrangement is once made, it Gentleman earned his laurels,—long, long may he w2ll immediately lead to a mediation be tween the two Bel ligerent Powers. Meantime t h e p re p arations continue; live to enjoy them ! Mr. PEEL's feelings at that trope a re daily arriving from Asia, ant great quantities of moment of universal exultation must have been truly cannon ;Jed a mmunition are embarked and sent to Ro dosto, to fortify several points en the Sea of Marmora and happy !

The calculatiene which certain persons have made to prove the impossibility of starving Constan- earth, by that simultaneous burst of approbation, tiunple, may not prove very correct ; however, the Porte recompensed the Right Honourable Gentleman for all haepase taken a measure by which it is expected to re lieve this s.zazeity. The following is the translation which the wrongs he had suffered from the narrow-minded has just been eena nee of the agrement between the Stie- hostility of his former friends, but now implacable biebat Naziri and the Aueteien and Sardinian merchants: 64 6 His Excellency the Stiefiieleet Naziri, Minister of foes.

Gentleman as alluded to me, I feel myself bound to ad. vert to the points mentioned by the Hon. Gentleman. I must first say that no person could have been so much sur prised, I may say astonished, as I was, at the speech the Hon. Gentleman made from this bench. I cannot express, indeed, the surprise, the astonishment, that speech ex cited in me. Sir, up to that hour no person heard of the intention of the Hon. Gentleman to make a speech, and no person heard of the indignation by which the Honour able Gentleman says he was actuated, nor of the daggers from the political antipathy of the Catholics to which he they alluded.—( Hear, hear.)—Sir, I will narrate facts. The Honourable Gentleman has informed the House correctly that a communication was made to him seven days before the meeting of Parliament, of the intentions of the Government as to this Bill. But why was the communication made? The Honourable Gentleman was no confidential adviser of the Crown. We were not bound to ask his opinion as to the course of policy we meant to pursue.—(Hear, hear, hear.) — We had merely to resort to his assistance, not for ad vice as to the course we meant to pursue, but for his legal assistance in framing the measures we intended to submit to Parliament. The House would suppose, when this communication was made to the Honourable Gentleman, that he had declared that he could not assist to draw the Bill, and that he could not sup port the principle of the measure ; but the Honourable Gentleman said nothing whatever by which it could be inferred that he did not acquiesce in the measure.— [Sir Charles Wetherell here interrupted Mr. Peel, but what he said was not heard in the Gallery.l—l am bound to add, Sir, that the Honourable Gentleman did assist in drawing the Bill for the Suppression of the Catholic Association. We thought it was not fair to ask his assistance in drawing the Bill to put down the Catho lic Association, without communicating to the Hon. Gentleman the whole intentions of the Government, as far as the principle of the measure was concerned. The Hon. Gentleman made no objections, he assisted in drawing the Bill to suppress the Catholic Association. He did more. He assisted us with his legal advice in drawing up the present Bill, both as respects the law of endowments and or ecclesiastical charities. It was not until the 23d lof February that the Hon. Gentleman expressed any opi nion against the measure, or any determination not to draw the Bill. But Parliament met on the sth of February.—(Hear, hear, hear.)—The intentions of the Government were communicated to the Hon. Gentle man seven days before the meeting of Parliament; he assisted in drawing the Bill for suppressing the Catholic Association ; he assisted us with his advice, his endow ments, and superstitious uses in this Bill, and never during that time expressed any doubt of the general policy of the measure. When the time came that it was necessary for my Noble Friend, who had given notice that the measure would be submitted to Parliament on the sth March, that all the details of the measure should be prepared—for about the principle we had previously agreed—when it be came necessary that my Noble Friend should on February 22, ask the Hon. Gentleman to prepare the Bill, is there any man who heard the speech of the Hon. Gentleman the other evening, who would not suppose that the Hon Gentleman displayed his indignation, and answered, " I foresee danger to my country from the measure, and I have sworn an oath which will not allow me to assist you?"— Sir, the Hon. Gentleman did no such thing. (Sir C. Wetherell was understood to say, that he did.)-- The Hon. Gentleman has referred to the date of the com munication made to him, to prefer his charge against me— (Hear, hear)—and I must state facts in opposition to those charges. It was not until the night when the Hon. Gen tleman made his speech, that any Member of the Govern ment knew or thought that it was repugnant to the oath the Hon. Gentleman had taken as Attorney-General, to draw the Bill. The Hon. Gentleman only told my Noble Friend that he could not give his individual sup port to Catholic Emancipation.—(Cheers.)--That was the amount of the intimation he made.—(Cheers.)—Here, however, as a servant of the Crown—as King's Attorney- General—he continued to hold office, for the purpose of founding charges against the Bill. This surprised me in the Attorney- General.—(Cheers.) --These were the facts. 'The Honourable Gentleman, he must say, was not warranted in any such conduct; he held the office of At torney •General ; he had not signified any intention of re signing, and he was not, I must say, warranted in stating, at that period, the confidential communication which, as one of the law advisers of the Crown, had been made to him, and on that lie formed charges against the Govern ment under which he held office." After reading this let the Honourable Member for Plympton go and dine with Lord ELDON with what appetite he may. The Bill was read a third time and passed by 320 to 142—leaving a majority of 178.

The intelligence received from Smyrna of the 20th ult. gives some insight into the new measures of the Russian squadron in the neighbourhood of Candia, and has occasioned no ordinary surprise to the English and French Commanders i►► those seas ; and the expected blockade of tl►e ports of that island shew evidently a determination on the part of Russia not to be satisfied with the blockade of the Dardanelles.

The LORD CHANCELLOR was occupied the whole of the day with hearing cause-petitions, many of which were ordered to stand over, in consequence of the absence of Counsel, and the indisposition of Mr. Sugden.

THE KING V. BATT DALY. It has seldom been our duty as public Journalists to re cord so sublime an instance of the " glorious uncertainty of the law," as occurred in this case, before Mr. Sergeant Lefroy. The prisoner Batt Daly, was indicted for steal ing eight " Sheep" the property of John Lynch, the pro secutor, who so satisfactorily deposed to the rubbery and identity of the prisoner, that the Jury should have re turned a verdict of Guilty, had not Mr. Jeremiah Lynch, the agent of the prisoner produced James Bens,,n, who deposed, that he was present when prosecutor found what he (prosecutor) supposed to be " The Sheep" in question in the custody of prisoner—but that upon minute exami nation (by witness B.) he could positively swear, that two of the eight were " Rams" and not "Sheep !" Mr. Sergeant L. in charging the Jury, declared, that never during his experience had legal ingenuity or legislative fic tion contemplated the possibility of such a defence being had to screen actual guilt; and that but for the point put forward by the prisoner's agent (Mr. L.) he would re ceive the sentence which the crime merited,—dwelt upon the enormity of the crime,—and admonished the prisoner never again to appear in a Court of Justice, for that though he escaped now, he would one time appear where the legal ingenuity of his agent would avail him nought. Verdict—Not Guilty ! ! The following Peers have been appointed a Select Committee to consider of the best mode of ventilst- ing the liouse of Lords—viz., Lord ELLENBOROUGH, Lord SHAFTESBURY, Lord CLAREZ4tDON, Lord MALmEs- BURY, Lord POSSLYN, Lord ANIHERST, Lord AtTcx- LAND, Lord COLCHESTER, and Lord SICELIIERSDALE. The Dowager Marchioness or HERTFORD gave a grand dinner on Sunday, at her residence in Man chester-square, to the Duke of CUMBERLAND. There was a numerous party to meet his Royal Highness, among whom were the Earl of ELnoN and Mr. SADLER, M.P. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER visited the Princess AuctlsTa. yesterday, at her residence in the King's Palace, St. James's. The Duke of WELLINGTON had along in terview yesterday morning with Mr. Secretary PEEL, and afterwards left town for the King's Palace at Windsor, to have an audience of his MaJzsTir. Baron BuLow, the Prussian Minister, had a conference which lasted near two hours yesterday, with the Earl of ABERDEEN, at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. A deputation of gentlemen, headed by Vis count BERESFORD, attended at the Treasury ou Saturday, and had a conference with the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. The Solicitor-General for Ireland trans• acied business yesterday at the Foreign-Office, Downing. street. Despatches were received on Sunday at the Colonial-office, from the Governors of the Cape of Good Hope, New South Wales, Ceylon, and Mauritius. DRURY-LANE THEA'rRE.—MiSS PHILLIPS appeared here last night as Cordelia, to You No's King Lear. Both parts were admirably sustained : the lady's particularly so. The Duke of WELLINGTON is remarkably active in hie habits, and an early riser. His Grace is ge nerally walking in the interior of St. James's Palk by seven • o'clock in the morning. Some weeks since his Grace was walking in the new inclosuree when it was scarcely light. He returns home to breakfast between nine and ten o'clock, and during the day is occupied in offi cial business, seeing the Cabinet Ministers, who consult him on any important occurrence that happens in their different departments ; also the Foreign Ministers, the Secretaries to the Treasury, &c. His Grace has very little leisure for walking or riding in the middle of the day. When the Duke goes to Windsor he rides on horseback part of the way (his travelling open carriage following him), till he feels inclined to dis mount and enter the carriage, which has seldom more than a pair of horses to travel with, and only one servant attends. The open carriage in which he travels is a great favourite, haing very light ; his Grace used it in Russia. The Noble Duke frequently is present at several parties in the course of an evening. He lately presided at the City of London Orphan Establishment, thence to the French play at the English Opera House, and from that entertain ment he went to the party given by the Lady of the Dutch Ambassador, in Bryanston square. His Grace takes very few 'hours rest. He sleeps on his favourite camp bedstead. _-Morning Parer. The following putline of the intended changes in the Law Department in Ireland will be found to differ in many respects from one which circulates at present with some appearance of authority. We have reaaon tc s believe that our infornuption will pr.ive substantially cor rect ; but as the changes are only prospective, or, to speak more accurately, initiative, we do not pretend to absolute infallibility. Three vacancies will be made on the Bench Qf the Irish Court of Exchequer. The Chief Baron, Lord W. p. aid Mr. 4arnn Lawn 'retire. 11r. 4gv, the present Irish attorney-Ge nerJl, will, probably, succeed the LORD CHIEF BARON. Mr. JOY has the character of a profoundly learned lawyer ; end boil being very little inclined to take au active part in the local politics of the day, will in all probability, make an admirable Judge--indeed, he seems much better calcu lated for such an appointment, than for his present one.— This, of course, negatives the statement pretty positively given out, that ford o.triceTT was to he transferred from the CoMmoh Pleas to the' txaequer. We believe that if any transfer is contemplated i n the rerson of the lastsnamed Learned Lord, it will be the highest station in the Equity fiepsrtrue4. Tlte I , F4nOne Nnsequent unfit the retire ment of Sir W. C. Salmi and Barim SI`c'ELLANP it is said, to be filled Up by Mr. LERLIE POSTER a n d Mr. Serjeant The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for Ireland will, in the event of Mr. JOE'S appointment to the Bench, be his successor. Mr. WALLACE is likely to be, in that case, the new Solicitor-General. We repeat our original declaration, that we do not pledge ourselves that all these changes will be exactly realized; but we do assert that thpy come to us from a good source of information,— Morni;ig Chronicle, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE., FIGHT THIS 7 BETWEEN HARRY JONES AND FRANK 'REDMOND FOR £lOO ASIDE, At NOMAN'S-LAND, 27 MILES from LONDON. At twenty-three minutes past one, the men set-to. Round I. Spring and Tom Gaynor for Harry, and Crawley and Fisherwick for Frank. Long sparring for the first move, and every thing looked beautifully square. Frank touched the body with the left. After some dodging, feinting, and short hitting, for thirteen minutes, Jones put in a clean left-hander, which lighted on the couck, and partly stunned Frank, who rushed in, and after some bustle, both fell without more mischief. First blood from Frank's proboscis. 2. Frank cautious--counters, both stopped (10 to 4)--. Harry jobbed clean over the right eye as Frank hit. Frank tried but missed, and fell without any hitting. 3. Frank went in after long sparring, and caught the Sailor on the left eye, but was thrown clean. 4. Frank put in the left at the mark and told ; after more sparring, beautiful hitting and stopping ensued till Frank was thrown. 5. Jones closed, and tried to hit up, but missed, and Frank fdl weak. 6. Harry planted a queer right-hander, and Frank fell again. 7. Frank went in, but was clean thrown. 8. Harry rushed in at coming to the scratch, and bit up two or three times, till Frank fell-50 to 5. 9. Nearly the same, till Frank fell, weak, with HarrY across him. Frank complained of an inward hurt, and could not come again, after fighting 36 minutes. REMARKS. This was a pretty scientific fight, and not a whisper of reproach could attach to the loser, who fought bravely, and although he had the worst of the fighting, yet he was evi dently beaten by the two last falls, '0 COME.

He was backed freely on Sunday at 15 to 1 ; and next morning the odds ran as low as 12 to 1 ; in the afternoon, however, his party had dwindled to nothing' ' and 15 to 1 went begging. Some say he is lame; but the majority attribute his " decline and fall " to a trial On Saturday, in which he was "found wanting." For our own part, we are not surprised that his trial proved be would not do for the Derby; he is remarkably small, and we do not recollect more than two or three instances of the Derby being won by a little horse. Brother to Moses not much larger than Will-o'-the-Wisp. Morris Dancet is in the same stable as Will, which will in some degrat account for his falling hack a couple of points ; it should be recollected, too, that his public running has been any' thing but good. None of the leading favourites for the Derby were hacked—plenty of talk, but no business. With the exception of a palpable improvement in Auguste, for the Riddlesworth, we know of no other change of portance.
