sputit OF THE• LONDON JOURNALS. Some reasonable-, hopes may at length be in dulged, that thevillainous and atrocious outrages committed 'eltlier'-ky the Spitalfields and Bethnal green gentry, or in the name of them, will, by the strong hand of the law, be stopped, or at least more rarely perpetrated. It is impossible for society to exist under such a system. It is not in nature to think of it, without being moved to a strong desire for exemplary punishment upon its authors ; and that punishment, if we may judge from the proper spirit and language of Mr. Peel's declarations in the House of Commons last night, is in a fair way to be inflicted. Let any man read the proceedings de tailed in our police report of Worship-street. Fel lows, who can earn 355. per week at journeyvrork, (upwards of 901. per annum, by a single pair of hands), admit other ruffians into their rooms at midnight, and look on while their masters' pro perty is cut to pieces—the master who, in most eases, has paid them beforehand, in confidence of having the silk or velvet, whichever it may be, wrought and re-delivered according to a contract voluntarily made by these accomplices in the act of its destruction. Nothing ever happened among the poor Irish equal to such a practice as this, for ungrateful and treacherous baseness. Nothing was ever calculated like this system to undermine all_ trust between man and man, and eventually to ruin the manufacture upon which it operates. What master will, unless he be a madman, venture to carry on his business in a town where no protection is afforded him against the crimes of his own de petulents—crimes, however, which have arisen in a great measure from his own contemptible subser viency to those dependents ? It is true that pro jects, founded no less on duplicity and falsehood than these conspiracies for high wages by the half taught journeymen, were first set going by the masters themselves, for wringing high prices from the public, the journeymen being made the instruments of their plots, and the intended dupes of them being his Majesty's Ministers, Loud clamours, gross misre presentations, artful processions, lying petitions, were got up as diligently by the masters, in the progress of their attempt to secure a monopoly of sales, as com binations, outcries, discussions in coffee-shops, collu sive entrances into weavers' dwellings, and midnight attacks on silk and velvet goods, are now got up by the said weavers to force a monopoly rate of wages. Verily the journeymen are apt scholars, and their em ployers were but shallow-pated blockheade. We hardly pity them : for their sakes we would scarcely move across the street in the way of either adminis tering the law or of amending it; but if the vile spirit of these mutinous robbers be indulged, no man can fore see to what other purposes beyond the raze of looms and machinery it may ere long be converted.--Tines, We rejoice to state that a happy arrangement is made, by which Mr. Alderson retires from the con test for the representation of the University of Cam bridge, and leaves the honour to be soaped by one who has been already successful in the more peaceful competition of se-let-we : this is alike honourable to him who retires and to him who continues in the field— •to Mr. Alderson and Mr. Cavendish. It is needless here to describe the mariner in which the latter gentleman has distinguished himself in the University ; but it may be proper to state that hi: election will, in all probability, settle future con tests, and bring back the University to that tranquil state which best comports with its habits, and is most beneficial to its studies and discipline. It were An unholy alliance between Cambridge and Cork Castle ! and should a forced union (an Irish wed, ding !) be attempted, we should wish some inquiry to be made into the manner in which church pro perty is administered, and livings disposed of, in a certain part of the county of Dorset, from which, we apprehend, it will appear that the protection aff forded to the ecclesiastical establishment and reve nues in this region is such protection as the vulture affords to its prey, which coves whilst it. devours A petition was presented last night by Mr. Ward from Mr. Moore, a master manufacturer, who has lately suffered severely from the outrages in Spite'. fields. Jt is much more easy to complain of the evil, than t o indicate a remedy, Mr. Peel, for instance, set oat with something like a reproach di rected against the masters themselves for what bad taken place. " With respect to the masters, I much lament (he says) that they should have given way so much as they have done to the workmen ; for it would haire been much better for them at once to have resisted to the uttermost such unjust de mands . . . Why does not the master apr peal to the existing law, before he requires any other?—(Hear, hear.) —Why does he not apply to the Magistrate at the Police-office, who is ready to execute that law in his favour ? The law, as it now stands, says, that if any one by vielenee, or by threats, or by molestation, shall force any manufae, lurer to make any alteration in his mode of carrying on his business, any person so offending shall, on conviction, be imprisoned for any term not exceeding three calendar months. Surely it is in vain to re quire at the hands of Government an additional police force, unless the parties themselves are willing to come forward to assist themselves." Mr. P. Thompson furnished rather an awkward commen tary on this part of Mr. Peel's speech, for he spewed that Mr. Moore had suffered more than any ' other person, precisely because he had pursued the Coarse recommended by him. " This very peti tioner (Le observed) was one of those who had most decidedly re s ted the encroachments of the work men, and the consequence was that he had suffered in proportion. Indeed tti.t: course that those masters who determined to put the law force against the offenders had to pursue was one p :egnant with extreme difficulty ; not only did they by that means throw themselves open to the vengetZuce of the workmen, but when he thought that he had collected a sufficient case to bring home con vistion to the person against whom he was proceed ing, lie found that his witnesses had been intimidated from stating what they knew, and expressed them selves most unwilling to come forward to give their testimony." In short, nothing is more easy than to say, have recourse to the law. But the law, in a disturbed district, is a dead letter. Mr. Peel ad mits that he has no preventive means of sufficient efficacy at his disposal. "It is said there is not a sufficient police force in the district. I admit it ; but at the same time I must observe, that I have done all that was in my power during the present Session to put the police of the metropolis on a more serviceable footing." If those who commit outrages will only be sufficiently stupid to remain on the spot till a detachment of soldiers can be sent against them from the Tower, then a proof will be afforded that in cases of emergency the Government is sufficiently strong to repress violence. But in all other cases it says, help yourselves—get witnesses how yr_nr can ; and after having shown yourselves men of split by consenting to sacrifice two or three hundred pounds a week, on convicting any offender the Court ss ill sentence him to three months impri sonment. A mighty consolation, no doubt, and greatly calculated to make sufferers in love with law and Go vernment. Mr. Moore will find that Government can contrive to spend fifty or sixty millions a year very well, without troubling themselves with the security of 6tizens. Mr. Peel launched out into exclamations against the folly of the weavers of Spi talfields, who are ex - posed to such disadvantages in their competition with ITancheeter and other large manufacturing places, hastening by these ,outrageous means the ruin which is sure to overtake them at last. But the weavers of Spitalfields compare their situation, not with that of the people of the manu facturing towns, but with that of their nearest neighbours. In fact, a place like the metropolis, •where every thing is excessively dear, —house rent, , coals, food, &c.,—is not suited for a manufacture, and it does not require the gift of prophecy to foretel that the manufacture will soon cease to exist - h ere . But these considerations are not likely to have mach influence on weavers in a state of dis tress : for it was admitted on all hands that there is great digress itr Spitalfields, though good hands may earn . from 255. to 30s. a week.— " I most earnestly wish that the labouring classes of this country would attend to their interest !" said Mr. Peel. But how much pains do we not see taken every day to mislead and mystify them ? What has the higher ranks of this country ever done to instruct the people ? There is not throughout Europe a country to be found in which so magni ficent a contempt for the moral and intellectual im provement of the people has been manifested as in England. In spite of neglect, in spite of all man ner of cant and hypocrisy practised with regard to them, the labouring classes are beginning to see their way. If their superiors would but meet them half way,—if the immense resources which are at the disposal of the State for the instruction of the people were not wasted, but applied in such a way as to spread over the country enlightened men, in stead of the miserable fanatical creatures who, ac cording to Dr. Arnold, of Rugby, issue from our Universities to bewilder the people,—then it might be allowable to reproach the labouring classes.— ' Merning Chronicle. It appears that Mr. Cavendish has yielded to the wishes of the members of the Senate and University of Cambridge, who, in so flattering a manner to him, proposed his name on Monday last as their future Representative. In consequence of this nomination, Mr. Alderson has withdrawn from tl►e contest, and the struggle will now be between Mr. Cavendish and Mr. George Bankes, who has no claims on the score of literature and science, that we are acquainted with, to oppose to the high academical reputation which his rival has earned. What right has Mr. Bankes to obtrude himself on the notice of the learned in connection with Cambridge ? What has he done ? What honours and distinctions has he gained ? None. Illiberality and Ultra-Toryism constitute his only recommendations. There can be no question as to the proper person to choose; and we trust, for the honour of science and learning, that Cambridge, by returning Mr. Cavendish, will vindi cate the character of our Universities from the re proach that has been cast on them, of preferring mediocrity and dullness, and a dislike of improve ment, to talents and learning, united to independ ence of mind and enlightened and liberal principles. —lbid. The appointment of Major-General the Earl of Rosalyn to the long vacant office of Privy Seal in dicates two points in the Premier's policy—the one, his intention, as far he can accomplish it, to compose his Government of members of his own professiop ; the other, a wish to propitiate the V higs, who have all along hung upon his outposts, half friends, half foes, willing to act on any side for pay, but on no side very zealously without it. We rho not attribute to such a man as Lord Rosslyn any sordid views of this kind, but to his party we do. His Lordship we believe to be a truly honourable man, and to have possessed up to this time, in its truest sense, that rare quality, political consiste.ney. We suspect, however, that the Duke's line was 'baited fo a larger fish, and that it is only because Lord Grey could not or woeld not be caught that Lord Rosslyn has been brought to I=l, This, however, with the re-ap pointment of 'Sir James Scarlett to the post of Attorney-General, may be coesideu4 3s a complete amalgamation of the old Whig Party with tile Government, and, of course, Mr. Brougham, the leader, c4nun:t long remain unprovided for. Report again assigns him the Roils.. Whether that may be intended or not we cannot say, but that Mr. Brougham has for a long time calmed himself down into a temperance fitted for office, no one who com pares his recent with his past Parliamentary conduct can for a moment doubt.—Morning Herald. Sir James Mackintosh, as our readers must be aware, brought forward his motion on Monday last, for papers explanatory of our relations with Portu gal, 4tid the conduct which the British Government had hitherto thought proper to pursue respecting that miserable and opidessed country. Its result was successful, not only in procuring the papers in question, which will be speedily laid before the pub lic, but in eliciting from the House of Commons an expression of feeling respecting the usurpation of Don Miguel, and thg cruelties of which he has been guilty, which, we would fain hope, would not be without its use in checking the fury of the dezpot. These, however, are the only satisfactory results of the motion; for of the explanation given by Mr. Peel, of the conduct pursued by the British Go vernment, we cannot speak in terms of approbation, either as regards its consistency or policy. With regard to the former, we are willing to allow that nothing can be more truly injudicious and unwar rantable in the abstract, and in all ordinary easel, than interference in the internal affairs of other countries ; bat there are exceptions to the most approved rules, and the case of Portugal must, in the judgment of every impartial mind; form one of the clearest and most undoubted. The usurpation and tyranny of Don Miguel are not of an ordinary cast. They bear away the palm from every other case which has existed in either ancient or modern times ; and, to render it still stionger, that tyranny, there was every reason to suppose from the prpyi oua gpnduct of England, would not be allowed to exist. But Aapsidering the matter on the pure ground of consistency, what difference is there between the case of the Portuguese constitution alists and that of the rebellious Greeks, whom thp Sultan, was desirous of again bringing under his dominion ? There is none. Greece was an in tegral pertion of the Turkish empire, and the Greeks as much, nay more truly, his subjects as those who rebelled against the usurpation and ty ranny of Don Miguel were his. We 4410 the former both directly and indirectly; but to the latter we would not only furnish no aid, but would not eueu permit them to leave our shores with the means which they possessed, for giving a different form of Goverunient tq Portugal, and overthrowing ,;:e Usurper 1 Such is the couch-boasted consistency o f t h e Dritish Government, and the system of non interference, which, in accordance with the law Gf nations, it has thought proper to sanction. We wish n accordance also with we could add that it was sound policy; but justice Ia this case, as well as in that it the other, requires it to be stated, tpat is as faulty in the one way as in the other; ar o l that while it has tended, on the one hand, to furnish the Usurper with the means of inflicting on his subjects the most dreadful tyranny, which was ever expe rienced in any country, it has proved extremely ruinous to the commercial enterprise of British s4by jects. Mercantile confidence has been long extinct between Portugal and England, and the lost occa sioned by the stagnation of commerce a source of ruin to those engaged in the trade between the two countries. —.Morning Advertiser, VIENNA, MAY 16.—1 t is DOW decided that the EMPEROR. will not visit Prague this year; but it the fins weather which we have had for some days con tinues,-he will go to his country seat at Lasembourg. His MAJESTY has resolved that the sum of money, which was intended for the visit of the Court to Prague, shall be em ployed in the relief of the inhabitants of Dalmatia, who are reduced to the greatest distress, in consequence of the total failure of the harvest last year, and thus the pious intention of his MAJESTY, in his profound visit to Prague, will be fulfilled in a different manner. DRESDEN, MAY 15.—There is no truth in the news published by some Journals, that the Marcolini Palace in this city is to be purchased for a Jesuits' College to be founded here. The purchase of another large building was lately spoken of, f.. - r the purpose of establishing a seminary for Catholic schoolmastews, which came to nothing.— This perhaps gave rise to the report of the admission of the Jesuits. From the large quantities of small haddocks daily taken at Arbroath, the fishers anticipate the largest supply of this fish which has been Lad for many years.— Incerness Courier. At one of the meetings of the Paris Horti cultural Society, a M. F O URQUET presente m d soe pot atoe pl an ts, upon which had been grafted the stalks of the temata (solanum lgeopersicum, L.)

The Marquis of BLAxDFoRD, last night, broright forward the question of Parliamentary Reform. The attendance of Members was far from full on the occasion, nor did the discussion, notwithstanding its importance, appear to create any very unusual interest. Among the reasons alleged, in favour of his motion, the Noble Marquis stated his fears that the Catholic party, from their confederated character, from their wealth, and consequently frem their privi lege of purchasing Boroughs, might in time obtain an undue ascendancy in the state. This, his motion, if successful, would go far to prevent. Really the Noble Marquis must have watched the late course of events to very little purpose, if he fears any thing from a Catholic confederacy. Already, if we may judge by occasional accounts from Ireland, the Papists are dissolving their union, and breaking up into parties ; in the county of Louth, Mr. SHELL has put himself forward as the representative of the democratic or popular, and Sir P. BELLEW of the aristocratic, party ; and other interests will, we doubt not ; arise in a similar way, so that except in the defence of some vital principle, such 49 their' religion, for.instance, which it is not likely will ever be encroached upon in any shape or form by Govern ment, the Catholic party can scarcely ever again hope to be that compact, organized, and strongly confederated body that they were but a few months since. We are glad to find that Mr. CAVENDISH has announced himself as a Candidate for the Represen tation of the University of Cambridge. He is a gentleman and a scholar, liberal in his political prin ciples, without carrying his liberality to any undue or visionary excess, and heir to the illustrious ducal title of Devonshire. A.

GOTHA, MAY 24.—His Highness the Duke Coburg Gotha set out yesterday for Warsaw. The frenah Papers are still barren of any authentic news from the seat of war, The Gazette de France, on this subject observes, that" The German Journals have talked a great deal of engagements said to have 4 t ki..,11 place between the Russians and Turks. The direct eoriopon4ence with the points occupied by the corps of the 4n - iv nothing to confirm the news. It seems that the Russians hare in yiexr to turn the Balkan, by advancing to Sizeboli, and making a landing at Bourgas. The army is at this rnplineut assembling about Silistria and Rudschuk. If the Russians succeed in turning Shumla, which the Turks consider as the barrier of the empirp, the war would be terminated , and it 15 very probable that they would meet with no farther obstacle in their march till they reached Constantinople," The )Woniteur says that the authors of the reports prejudicial to the Russian army now contradict them, white persons deserving of confidence, and well informed of the situation of affairs, state that the siege of Silistria was going to commence, and that for this purpose the head-quarters of second corps (that commanded by Count PAHLEN) were going to be removed to Kalarasch.

The Loan CHANCELLOR sat at Westminster this morning, at half-past nine o'clock, for the purpose of hearing one Counsel each side in this case, in which it will he re collected the Court of Delegates pronounced a judgment in favour of Lady Westmeath a short time since. The object of the application was to obtain a commission of review of that decision. Mr. BRODERICK addressed the Court on the part of Lord Westmeath for the Commission, and went at considerable length through the evidence, for the purpose of showing that the conduct and cruelty of Lord Westmeath was not of that description to which several of the witnesses had deposed ; Lady Westmeath did not appear to rest her case so much upon any cru e lty exer cised by Lord Westmeath, as upon the mis-statements with reference to Lord Westmeath's property, aml the circumstance of his Lordship's having had two children previous to his marriage with her Ladyship. The Learned Counsel had not concluded his address when we left, Dr. Lvsill r.q' F oN atteoded oo the part of Lady West meath. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. This morning, in a cause of no public interest, Lord Tenterden first recognised Sir J. Scarlett as " Mr. At rorney-General," CR43I. C0N.....-LEATHRR. V. DUCKWORTH. Mr. Guaisay (with whom was Mr. PLATT) stated that this was an action fur comparative damages for a criminal cenversatioli . between Mr. Duckworth, a steward to Mr. Paris, a gentleman, and partner to an auctioneer at Barnet, and Mrs. Leather, the wife of a plumber and glazier, gf the *Ante place, and daughter to his partner. The Learned Counsel then stated the facts, as proved by the following witnesses:— Catherine Rosendale examined by Mr. PLATT—Knew th e plaintiff; was present at his marriage at Aldgate church with Miss Harris, eighteen years ago. Never saw them afterwards till about fire years ago. croo-e4amined by Mr. 0())13110N SERGEANT—They weve very affectionate at the marriage.—(A laugh.)—Did nut know whether they dined together. Mr. Harris did not act as father. Copy of the register of marriage was - put in and read. They were married on the 18th September, 1814. Charlotte Watson had been servant to Mr. Harris, Mr. Leather 7 s father. Had known Mrs. Leather for eight years. Mr. and Mrs. L. parted three or four years after that, while witness was at Mr. Leather's, sett., can't say that they lived together as man and wife. Mrs. L. went to live with her father. Defendant used to come sometimes to Mr. Harris's house. He had been with Mrs. L. alone when witness saw something, but did not think any more of it. Had seen them romp together, and had afterwards seen them kiss. Had kngwn them together alone mostly pf an evening. Op those occa 'ions, in the dark evenings of winter, they had a candle. Could not say how long they were alone. Remembers having been ill, when defendant came; at about eight o'clock a person knocked at the door three or four times and was not 4nswere4. Witnesa and Mrs. Leather and de fendant were the only persons in the house ; the two latter were in the kitchen and must have heard it, but did not go, and witness went down: stairs and let in her mister. I told Mrs. L. that her sister had arrived. De fendant had then been there about half an hour. They had a fire in the kitchen. Mrs. L. is between SO and ; Mr. Ditckwprtlt ig Rear 4Q. bad not left the room above two minutes when she returned. Mrs. L. was lying on the floor. Sarah Warner, lived servant at 25, Upper Cltlton street, recollected defendant Leather coming there with her mother who remained with her. Mr. Duckworth also came there not many days afterwards ; he enquired f RT her by name, and witness showed him up stairs, when she came from her roptp op the secpnd floor to rpeet him; they appealed to meet like man and wife. Cross...xamined—Did not know Mr. Duckworth before awl could not swear that it was he who came. There are two brothers named Duckworth. gsther Bull—Knew Mrs. Leather. Went from wit. neses house to Ch4lton,street, where witness called upon her. Saw Mr. Duckworth there. She had a single room with a bed in it. Mrs. L. was lying on the bed, and he was sitting on the bed-tide. Left them together. Elizabeth Thornhill deposed that Mrs. Leather lodged w ith h ex when she was delivered of child, upon which occasion Mrs. Leather sent for Mr. Duckworth. Mary Carter was sent with the intelligence to Mr. Duckworth, who said that as he had begun, he might as well go on and have a round half-dozen. Ali. Harris, father of Mrs. Leather, and partner to de fendant, said, that in August la,t he taxed the defendant with having been improperly connected with his daughter, and defendant acknowledged that he had. Mr. toMmon Serjeant pEkritay adtressed the Jury for the defendant, after which I.Ora TENTERDRN summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 25/. KING'S BENCH BAIL COURT. Mr. Justice BAYLEY, 111r..1ustic;1.;;;;;DALE, and Mr. Justice Jsmits PARKE, sat in the Bail Court for the purpose of disposiqg of the arrears of Term busigess. Their Lordships were opcupied the whole morning in hear ing arguments in a special case of no public interest. THE MARKETS. -(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. There are short arrivals of all kinds of Corn this week, end only a moderate quantity of Foreign Wheat. The supply of Flour also is trifling. The present dry weather suits the Wheat crop, but rain is wanted fur the back ward spring crops. The Wheat trade is so very dull, that any parcels not superfine have no chance for sale, unless at lower prices. Barley, Beans, and Pease, being short, inore money is asked for each, but not obtained. Fine heavy Oats are obtaining rather "higher prices again, and the factors will not sell other qualities at the late terms. In the Flour trade no alteration, COBURG THEATRE. Last night a benefit was given at this theatre for the METROPOLITAN MINOR THEATRICAL FUND, an Institu tion which we hope ere long will arrive at a height of pros perity equal to that enjoyed by the Theatrical Funds of the Patent Theatres. Mr. DAVIDGE gave the free use of the 'Theatre for the occasion, to which was superadded his own gratuitous professional services. Independently of the regular performers at the Coburg, several gentlemen from Covent garden and Astley's Theatre lent their gratuitous efforts, by the kind permission of Mr. C. KEMBLE and Mr. DUCROW ; and the latter gentleman also gave his own services, which proved to be no mean addition to the performances of the evening. Mr. WILKINSON. also lent his aid, as did Mr. J. S. GRIMALDI, Mr. ELLAR, and Mr. WEBB, the cele brated Irish vocalist, who performed the part of Murtoeh Delaney, in the Irishman in London, in the richest style. It would be unjust to omit noticing the perform ance of Mr. DAVIDCE, as Edward, in the same piece it was one of the most admirable performances we ever wit nessed. Upon the whole, we may truly say, we never witnessed a greater combination of talent at a Minor Theatre ; and we were pleased to observe that it was effective, for the house was crowded in every part. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING IN ST. JAMES'S. The betting is chiefly on the Derby, for which two or three changes have taken place. Ebury has been backed freely, and is now the second favourite, Rhoda being at 7to 1, without many friends. Morris Dancer is quite out of favour, only one person backs him, without which he would go to the outside. Some anxiety is manifested to back Luss and Device for the Oaks. At a late hour last night the odds were as follow : DERBY. 5 to 4 agst Lord Exeter's Patron 6 to I agst Lord Grosvenor's Ebury 7 to 1 agst Mr. Rush's Rhoda II to I agst Lord G. Cavendish's Espagnolle 16 to 1 agst Lord Egre m o nt's Br. to Lapdog _ _ . 17 to 1 agst Lord SQlon's Morris Danc;r . 25 to 1 agst Principessa 25 to 1 agst Lord Sligo's Prince Eugene SO to 1 agst any other.

Sadler's Device 30 to 1 apt Mr. Ridsdale's Bunter. EPSOM RACES. This meeting, the first of the metropolitan races, com menced yesterday, and is likely to be as prolific of sport as any that have preceded it. The most striking improve ment this year is the erection of the new grand stand, the appearance of which as you approach the race course is strongly contrasted with the contemptible building which has hitherto disgraced the downs, and which, out of ridi cule, we presume, has been called a grand stand ! holding about a hundred people at the outside. That a desidera tum so much wanted has not before been provided is asto nishing, the more so when it is considered that every other stand in the kingdom has amply repaid the projectors. We are much gratified to observe the undertaking so far advanced towards completion, and have been at some pains to examine the manner in which it is built, feeling it to be a duty we owe the public ; and we take this, the earliest, opp►►rtunity of expressing our belief in its perfect security —a certificate of which, we observe, has been given by tl►ree architects. We understand ►hat the projectors, find ing it impossible from the short period between its com mencement and the races to complete the decorative ar rangements, have entirely turned their attention to strength and solidity, leaving the ornamental department to the period intervening between the Spring and October Meet ings. We are glad to find that this course, superior to every other for the importance of its races, will now be equally superior in its accommodation, as we are told this stand will contain near 2,000 more spectators than any other, and affording every convenience. We certainly think the sporting world much indebted to the enterpris ing individuals who have embarked so large a sum as twenty thousand pounds in this speculation, and oan enter tain no doubt, from the very high patronage it has received, that they will reap the benefit their efforts deserve. The arrangements made on the course by its excellent acting steward, J. Maberly, Esq. are on a very extensive scale, and will, no doubt, be equally successful as last year in preventing accident or confusion. The. funds fur this purpose are secured, are provided in the same manner as last year, and have been appropriated to the payment of a numerous and effective passd of constables, who are placed under the controul of experienced police officers. Positive orders are issued for the trainers and jockies to be ready for starting at the time fixed, and the Newmarket regula tions on this point will be enforced with strictness. The ether details of the course are complet;!, hut would be un interesting to our reade.rr. ; suffice it that Epsom race course play row vie with the most celebrated for order and regularity. The company on the downs was quite as numerous and fashionable as is usual on the first day, but not by any means to be compared to the Derby and Oaks days. The Dukes of Orleans and chartree were not present ; they will attend on Thursday, and arrangements have been made by Mr. Maberly for their reception. The principal mem bers of the Nobility on the course yesterday were, the Duke and Duchess of Richmond and their san, Lord March, Earl and Countess of Sefton and the Ladies Moly neux, Earl Mountcharles, Lord Charles Somerset, Lord George Bentinck, Hon. General Grosvenor, Colonels Cosby, Grant, &e. The turf is very hard, and ,anything but firvourable for the running. Of the sport to-day we are enabled to speak in favour able terms ; it was really good, and derivod additional in terest from the entry o his Majesty's celebrated mare, Fleur-de-Lis, for the Craven Stakes against a field of eleven horses. The following are particulars : The Craven Stakes, for all ages. The last mile and quarter. His Majesty's Fleur de Lis, agec1„,...,,,,.,,, ‘ 1 Mr, Westenra's Conrad, YTs .n... 1 2 I}lc. Bundis Pegasus, 3 yrs -.. . Nine others started, but were not placed. Betting-2 to lon Fleur-de-Lis ;sto 1 apt Coronet ; 6 to 1 agst Conrad ; and 6 to 1 agst Gameboy. : From the very high opinion entertained of Fleur-de-Lis, awl the comparatively inferior character of tlinse opposed to her, few were inclined to het ageing her ; business of course was limited. Coronet took the lead at starting, Pegasus se conding him with considerable spirit ; Fleur-de-Lis and Conrad waiting behind. After making the turn Conrad made play, and directly after the mare went up, and these two were the leading horses when within the distance, Pegasus keeping a very good third. A tremendous race followed between Fleur-de-Lis and Conrad, the former being hard put to it to win by a head only. She was heantifully jockied by Robinson, and Dockery did wonders on Conrad ; Juryman was rode by G. Edwards, Coronet by J. Day, Gameboy by Wheatley, Macassar by Varlow, and the others by lads. The Shirley Stakes of 20 soya, each, for three-year-olds. One mile. Lord Southampton's brother to LTrganda ....... . ... 1 ray no's Sung frau Five others started, but only the first two were placed. Mr. Petit's Rosary, Mr. Bacon's Eugene, and Mr. Theo bald's Hohenlohe paid. Betting-2 to 1 agst Harold, 4to 1 agst Niger, 4to 1 4gst Roundhead, and sto 1 agst Urganda. The winner took the front immediately atter going off, and managed to defeat every attempt made to dispossess him of it. At one period within the distance the appearance of the race from the grand stand was beautiful in the extreme. With the exception of Howard all of them presented so even a front that it required a quick eye to discover that Urganda had any advantage; this, however, was the case, for he imme diately mended his pace, Jungfrau at the same time making play. pretty race between these two ended in favour of the horse by a length. T. Robinson (a lad), who rode Howard, fell in turning Tottenham-corner, and broke his collar-bone, the accident arising from Howard having struck upon the heels of one of the leading horses. We can confidently assure the public that these accidents, which are so frequent, will in future be prevented, the alteration of the cotirae having been determined on by the stewards of the Jockey Club. The winner was rode by Edwards with excellent judgment ; Jungfrau by Arnttll, Roundhead by Boyce, Nigerly by Dockersy, Harold by J. Day, and Yelva by Conolly. The Durdans Stakes of 10 sous. each, and 10 added, for all ages ; the winner to be sold for 150 sovs. One mile. Mr. Theakstores Tokay, aged 1 Brown's Bhurtpore, 5 yrs 2 Duke of Richmond's Roundhead, 3 yrs 3 Six others started, but only, three were were placed. Owing to a mistake of the Racing Calendar, which stated the extra weights to be for winners in 1828 ; much confu sion arose, as it ought to have been 1829. The stewards decided that the terms stated in the calendar ought to be abided by, 4lthough incorrectly given. The odds were -5 to 2 agst. Tokay, 7 to 2 agst. Romp, and 5 to 1 agst. Constantine. Bhurtpore, rode by Dockeray, made the i work to the distance, when Tokay went up, hot him, and asset . . was home first by two lengths; the others ha" The winner was rode by G.
