The Bishop of - BATH and WELLS, in the course of speech Arbich he delivered last night in the House f L ords, indulged in some very superfluous and ntenable observation s on the subject of the Catholic tiestion. After an episcopal flourish or two re pecting the " glorious Revolution," his Lordship rent on to remark that the people of England were religious people, and that therefore—mark the !quiturq—they were averse to grant power to the ':atholics. We know not where the Reverend 'Pecker learned his logic, hut, judging from the resent specimen, we should surmise that he ' 4l graduated at Oxford. To attempt to infer he religious feelings of a nation from the fact its intolerance; to set forth bigotry and uncha itableness as the true foundation of Christianity ; e lms to us—notwithstanding our respect for the teyerend Speaker—to resemble, in more points hall one, SWIFT'S brilliant plan for producing sun eares from cucumbers. True religion—that un mpeachahle religion which the Apostles preached, nd our Sotoun died to defend—is, in our view of he ea", grounded on the principle of universal har itY• It has its root in benevolence, and is istured on the genial soil of freedom. We snnot recognize its spirit in a system of intole snce, which would shut out millions from the pri ileges of the Constitution, and keep them in that vorst of slavery—the slavery of the mind—simply ram a selfish apprehension that at some distant pe iod or other they might meddle with the tempo 'slities of the Protestant Church. We cannot, we ' e Peo, recognize true religion in such a worldly sys e4), but imagine ourselves transported back to that e p o ch in the middle ages, when the sole test of PletY consisted in getting together some dull narrow-minded creeds, changed from time to time, as su ited the caprice of the ruling ecclesiastic powers, Ind beli eving that beyond their pale there lay no h ° P e of salvation. The days however—and we 4nrt °t , impress this truth too often, or too forcibly, On the public mind—the days of such reverend ab surdity are over. The improved intellect of the age demands an equal improvement in religion, which must either walk side by side with it, or be at once trodden down and annihilated.

This day the Judges, Sir JAMES ALLAN PARE, and Sir JAMES PARKA, arrived here at half•past four, and opened the Commission, after which the Learned Judges attended Divine service in the adjoining church. SuNDAY, MARCH I.—We have seen the calendar, which is unusually light ; there are 21 prisoners for trial, but none of the cases are of any interest, being all of a local nature. On the civil side there are but few causes entered fur trial, and but two for Special Juries. MONDAY, MARCH 2.—This day the Learned Judges both entered the Court at half past ten o'clock, and after the charge had been delivered to the Grand Jury, Mr. Jus tice PARK pi oceeded into the Civil Court, where some causes baring been tried of no general interest, the follow ing case was called on, LYONS r. GOLDING. This was an action of trover, brought by the plaintiff, who carries on business in Reading as a green grocer, to recover compensation in damages for the unlawful seizure and detention of the plaintiff's goods. After a long but uninteresting trial, the Jury found a verdict for the de fendant. Another Cabinet Council was unexpectedly summoned at an hour's notice yesterday ; the Ministets met at half-past one o'clock. The whole of the Members of the Cabinet were present, with the exception of the Duke of Wellington, who arrived in town at a quarter past three o'clock, and immediately joined his colleagues : the Council continued in deliberation till a quarter before five o'clock. The sudden departure of the Lord Chancel lor from the Cabinet Council on Sunday afternoon soon after its assembling, was caused by his Lordship's having received the King's commands to attend him at Windsor. The balloting for new Members is going on with great zeal at most of the fashionable clubs. At the Athenaeum it the place of the Monday evening convert atione. We stated yesterday by mistake that the Duke of Wellington went to attend the King, whereas his Grace went to his seat, Strathfieldsaye, Hampshire, to entertain the Judges, Sheriffs, &c. engaged on that circuit. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has paid to the credit of the Consolidated Fund, the sum of 150/. remitted to him by a person unknown, for conscience sake. The Masquerade at the Argyll rooms was last night unusually brilliant, and kept up to a late hoar with surprising spirit. The rooms weue splendidly and tastefully illuminated, and the company, for the most part, of a high order. Supper was served up at about one o'clock. The wines were excellent. MINOR TIIEATRES.-At the Surrey Sessions this day, a deed of enrolment was lodged in the Court for the purpose of authorising a Minor Theatre Theatrical Fund ; when, after the usual forms had been gone through, and the customary attestations made, the deed was received and confirmed. STRAND IMPROVEMENTS.—The alterations in the Strand are proceeding rapidly, and will, when finished, be a great public convenience; the influx of visi tors at Exeter 'Change, to see the Wild Beasts, is asto nishing, it is a crowd from morning till night. We are glad to hear that so noble a collection has a chance of being preserved to the public. Government has purchased a quantity of land, about SO or 90 acres, for the purpose of raising a line of fortification on the outside of Mile Town, Sheerness, and a ditch is now completed the whole extent of the line, from the beach towards the Nore, to a fleet that run to the sea wall towards the Medway ; this ditch is the line of demarkation, and iv to be the outer edge of a moat that will surround the works.—Essex Herald. MONDAY NIGHT, EIGHT O'CLOCK.-At LAW INTELLIGENCE.-('IMS DAV.) COURT OF CHANCERY. IN THE MATTER OF MITCHELL, A LUNATIC. The arguments in this matter, which have taken up so great a portion of the time of the Court in private, were concluded to-day at.'-one o'clock, but in consequence, we understand, of the Lord Chan cellor's Mini-telid engagementß requiring his at tendance elsewhere, his Lordship did not take his .seat in open Court. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. INJUNCTION-ROWLAND STEPHENSON'S PICTURES. WELCH V. STRACHAN AND OTHERS. Mr. Hoamt said he was instructed to move for an injunction to restrain the defendants, assignees of Rowland Stephenson, a bankrupt, from proceed ing to sell some very valuable pictures ; but as his Learned Friend, Mr. Sugden, who was Counsel for the defendants, was not in Court, he would not make the motion at present, but merely ask his Honour for an interim order against the party, it; whose piissession the pictures were, to prevent any thing being done with them. Mr. KNIGHT—I appear for the gentleman who has the custody of the pictures ; he has no interest in them, but he has instructed me to say, that he will not give up possession until the motion is heard; they are of great value, particularly at the present time, as the subject of several relates to the Catho lics.--(A laugh.) Mr. HoaNE—Then, with your Honour's permis sion, I will merely take the usual order against Mr. Knight's client, and postpone the motion until the next Seal. CONTEMPT OF COURT. Mr. ROOT moved that a gentleman named James Tate, who was then in Court, might be committed to the Fleet for contempt in not putting in an answer to a Bill filed against him. '1 he VICE-CHANCELOR made the order for his commitment. - AND OTHERS, EXECUTORS OF PARKES V. SUTTON AND FRENCH. The plaintiff in this case was an executor of a gen tleman named Parkes, a celebrated chemist, and who some years since published two very useful works, one entitled " A Vocabulary of Chemical Terms," and the other " Chemical Catechism," with notes and explanations. These works met with a great sale, and in the life time of Mr. Parkes went through eleven editions, the copy-right of which descended to the plaintiffs, as executors under his will, arid they a short time since ascertained that the defendants, who are booksellers and publishers in Tottenham- Court-road, were pirating these works. The present application, therefore, was to restrain them from so doing, and to prohibit any further sale. Mr. HORNE, in support of the application, said, the reason of his making it ex-parte was, to prevent the defendants having an opportunity of disposing of their stock on hand, which they would have done if notice had been given. His Honour would see that the work published by the defendant was not an exact copy, but every page would show it was a piracy. It professed to be edited by Mr. James Forsyth, a surgeon, there was no practising surgeon of that name, but the person who did edit it was a short time since an inmate of Whitecross-street Prison, and he should also move for an injunction against him. The VICE CHANCELLOR, after looking at the different works, made the order for an injunction. CHAMBERS V. WATERS. This case was in the paper for to-day, but some of the Counsel not being prepared, it was postponed for a few days. WALLIS V. LLOYD. This was a eause instituted to obtain possession of certain title deeds of an estate near Carmarthen. The case possesses no feature of public interest, and is likely to occupy the whole day. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. The Court were occupied the whole of the morn ng in deciding an action of no public interest, by a sailor against his captain for wages. TIIE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

FIRE AT CIIARING-CROSS.—An alarming fire broke out last night about eleven o'clock, at Mr. Clowes' printing-office, in Charing-cross, which in a short time destroyed the two upper floors of the premises and offices connected with this branch of Mr. Clowes' establish ment. At this office most of the printing for the Army was carried on, but the greater part of the stock of books was saved, so that the service will sustain no inconvenience for the want of a supply, and as the principal part of Mr. Clowes' establishment is carried on at his extensive office in Duke-street, Stamford-street, his general business will sustain no important injury. The premises and stock were insured. It is supposed that the fire originated in an old chimney, where a beam was exposed, and as no person slept on the premises, it had probably been smouldering some time before it broke out. SIIEFFIELD.—The interest excited in this part of the country by the Oxford University Election, has been unprecedented. The state of the poll was regularly entered on the way-hills of the guards of the Birmingham mails and coaches, and thus the progress of the Election was transmitted with great rapidity to this town, and from hence throughout the neighbourhood. The intelligence was likewise posted at one of the Newspaper Offices. Mr. Peel's friends, at Manchester, had daily expresses from Oxford.— Sheffield Courant. Amongst the extraordinary efforts which have been made by Newspapers at various periods, perhaps none ever equalled that made on the present occasion by The Sun Newspaper. The speeches, and the state of the poll of the Election for the University, announced at four o'clock on Thursday, was printed to the extent of two columns in The Sun at half-past eight o'clock at night, and the Papers containing the report were in Oxford at six o'clock the next morning. This is an instance of dispatch never equalled ; and we should have treated it as incredible had we not ocular demonstration to support the fact. If early intelligence be the criterion of a valuable Paper, The Sun certainly deserves to be supported.— atford Journal of Saturday. The whale still continues to attract numerous visitors to Whitstable, the stench emitted from it having considerably subsided. Upwards of 40/. has been realised by its exhibition on the beach, and the sailors, who were offered in the first instance 2001. for it, have sold it to a Mr. Sturge, of London, for 60/. That gentleman has erected coppers upon the beach, where the fish has been cut up, the blubber is boiled, and has yielded already nearly seven butts of fine oil (252 gallons each), which is valued at 801. a butt. It is expected the animal will finally produce nine. Mr. Sturge has, with much gene rosity, presented the captors with 40 guineas more, making 100 in the whole. Before Mr. S. gave the other 40 guineas, the sailors divided the prize-money in the fol lowing proportions —to the seven boats three guineas each ; to the 21 men three guineas each ; and to every boy half that amount. The skeleton is destined for the Zoological Society of London, and some gentlemen from that Insti tution have been for several days busily employed in scraping the bones of this enormous animal. The lower jaw has been cleaned, and measures 15 feet in length, and may be seen lying upon the beach. —Essex Herald. On Thursday last was launched, at . Chatham Dock-yard. a frigate named Eurotas. The ship was christened by the Hon. Lady Blackwood breaking a bottle of wine on the stern—the dog-shores were then knocked away, and the remaining blocks under the keel being cleared, the vessel glided very beautifully into the river. The slip from which the Eurotas was launched is immediately to be occupied by the frame of a new class of frigates carry ing 44 guns, of the calibre of 32 pounds; of the same length but rather greater breadth than those of the present 46-gun frigates, carrying only 18-pounders on the main our neighbour- deiasneke,atni e.dl2Eez Had - p s o s un d er l. cannonades on the quarter-deck, and Journal. ro CITY MARKETS.-TWO O'CLOCK. this instant an alarm of-fire has been given. It appears somewhat to the left of that ill-fated part of the county, Witham, end the reflection of light leads us to apprehend that the destruction going on is of considerable magnitude. The engines are getting ready to start on the arrival of an express to require their assistance. NINE o'Ctocx.—A small stack of oats, to the left of Witham, the property of - Mr. Shoebridge, was set on fire. The Essex Equitable j , which had started, was met on the road and remanded.— The swallow was observed in .Essex Herald. hood on the 22d instant.—Strathmore Scuau.—The Sugar Market remains inactive. The delivery from the West India Docks, last week, was 2,694 hhds. and 132 tres., and the stock yesterday was 19,229 hhds. and 1,445 trcs. Of Mauritius Sugars, the arrivals of the new crop are beginning to be frequent, and the stock has increased to 24,580 bags. About 4,300 bags are announced for sale this afternoon, and the trade are waiting the result before they transact business. Refired goods are rather more firm. In COFFEES there is no increase of business. INnico.—The Company's next salg is announced for:the middle of April. The quantity declared at present is very small. In Indigo regular business is doing at the former prices. Strx.—,The East India Company's sale of silks closed yesterday—the whole went off more unfavourably than any sale for some time past. The general average of prices is much under those of last sale. Those qualities of silks used in the manufacture of crapes maintained their ground snore firmly than coarse sorts. TIIE TEA SALE.-The Company's sale of Teas, in all eight millions of lbs., is proceeding steadily. Congous are en sale to-day, but no average can yet be drawn relating to the quotations. The OiL Market remains firm with the last quotations. Corre.N.—There are about 900 bales of Surats and other Cottons for sale to-day, when the market will be more correctly known. The langour so long prevalent in Cotton is expected soon to be removed, the manufacturers coming to market. SEEDS.—The current prices of Seeds are for new English Red Clover, 455. and 60s. to 665. ; Foreign ditto, 50s. and 565. to 635. ; White Dutch, 655. and 80s. to 90s. ; Trefoil, 12s. and 30s. to 425. ; Rib-grass, 14s. and 245. to 30s. per cwt. Not much doing, farmers clearing out old stocks. BALTIC PRODUCE.-Tallow flat at 395. 6(1.' The de livery last week was small, not exceeding 1,300 casks. The accounts from Russia to-day, quote Tallow at 97 rubles—Exchange 10/-4. Srices.—Mace and Nutmegs continue in request. The sales at the end of last week went off readily. Black Pepper at 3s. 84 ; Mace in bond 3s. 94. per lb. ; Cloves ditto Is. 3d. to 2s. Rum.—The business doing is limited, and the deli veries last week were 535 puns., and 48 hhds., of which 140 puns. were for exportation. Leewards proofs may be quoted from 2s. 3d. to 3s. 4d. The stock of Rums is 16,813 puns. and 1226 hhds. SALM.TRI.—The demand for Saltpetre has become very h eav y. The sales last week barely reached 255. per cwt., and purchases can now be made on much lower terms. ItiPoN, MAPoin 2.

SlR,—Seeing in the Papers the other day that a certain old woman, in a certain place, was inclined to seduce the ladies of this country from their duty, I beg you will insert, in your valuable Journal, the following article, which 1 copied from the " Oracle" about 37 years ago : " National Assembly, Oct. 25, 1791. " A Deputation of female Citizens of the Section of Luxembourg presented themselves. They re quired the Assembly to take into consideration the numerous clandestine marriages and baptisms per formed by the unconstitutional Priests of the parish of St. Sulpice. " The President made answer thus—' Ladies— nature destined you for the comfort and consolation of man—your's is the care of maintaining domestic harmony and propagating the human race—be satisfied with your lot, and leave to men ,the task of Government, and maintaining public order.' I am, Sir, your obedient servant, ANTI-CHICANERY. - [The above was received six days ago, and intended for insertion, but vas by some accident mislaid.] DRURY-LANE THEATRE.. Miss PHILLirs appeared here last night for the first time, as Isabella, in that strikin g drama, Measure for Measure. She was more succ e s s f u l in this part than even in her Imogen, beautiful and affecting as that personation is, and gave full effect to the numerous beautiful speeches in which her part abounds. The mode of pleading for her brother's life, and the distrustful air of reluctance with which she is led to believe the dishonourable intentions of "Lord Angelo, the precise," were conceived and executed in a style of the most consummate excellence. Altogether she was eminently successful, and has greatly increased the public impression of her powers. Mr. YOUNG'S Duke possessed gravity and appropriate solemnity. His delivery of its impressive poetry was worthy of him in his happiest moments. In the character of Angelo, Mr. COOPER was coldly and formally correct : more, far more, than what the part warrants. There was, however, a considerable ap pearance of industry in his performance. The house was well attended. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. Mr. PEMBERTON—a gentleman who, we understand, has gained considerable popularity on the Provincial Boards, and whose merits as a public Lecturer on the Belles Letters are, we are further informed, consider able—made his appearance at this theatre last night as Vir pinius, in KNOWLES'S well-known tragedy of that name. His performance was highly creditable to his abilities, and seemed modelled, but not servilely, on the acting of MA CREALT in the same part. His best scene, and the one which was most generally applauded, was that where he pleads before Appius; it was replete with energy, and true to nature. In the last act there was a little too much exaggeration, but this is a fault that can easily be remedied. Mr. PEMBERTON was favourably received, and will, we think, attain eminenee as a tragedian. His intellectual powers of conception are unquestionably fine. The Earl of Eldon was born in the year 1750. His Lordship is now consequently in his 79th year. He will be succeeded by his grandson, Lord Enconibe, who was born December, 1805. PARISH' or MARYLEtIONE. Yesterday a general meeting of the inhabitant householders of Marylebone was held at the Bazaar, King-street, Portman-stilt re, to consider of the adoption of means of applying to the Legislature for an Act of Parliament to obtain for the parishioners a sufficient audit of the accounts of the Select Vestry, a modification of the powers of that vestry, and particularly for securing for all the metropolitan parishes a more constitutional system of parochial ;overt ment. JOSEPH HUME, Esq. was called to the chair at one o'clock. He remarked upon the many efforts made in the select vestry to encroach upon the pri vileges of the parishioners, and of their lavish ex• penditure of the public money, their enormous debt of 200,000/. and their continual unwillingness in the least degree to allow the parishioners the least in sight into their accounts, and said the parishioners having paid the taxes, were entitled by law to show how they were expended.—(Cheers.)—The lion. Gentleman concluded by advancing the propositions which were that day to be proposed for the adoption or rejection of the meeting. The answer was either to support Mr. Hothouse's measure, or to petition at once themselves for a change of the select vestry, to cause it to be elective, to have a proper board of audit, which, as payers of taxes, they ought to have—(cheers), --and to alter entirely the consti tution of the select vestry.—( Hear.) The report of the Committee was then intro duced and read. Its principal features were the harsh and unsatisfactory conduct of the Select Vestry, and concluded by recommending the measures de scribed in the beginning if the report of the meeting. Tie report was adopted unanimously, upon the motion of Mr. Barker. _ _ _ Colonel Jones and Mr. Jackson severally addressed the meeting. Mr. CRAWFORD, in putting the second resolution, that " a Committee have power to pursue the usual Parliamentary means of obtaining for the parish a proper Board of Audit and representation," hoped that they would still have the power of applying to the Legislature if Mr. Hobhouse's Bill failed; and he instanced a mal-appropriation to the amount of 5,0001. of the parish money, which could not have taken place had there been a board of audit. (Hear.) Mr. Honllouse here came forward, and was re ceived with shouts of applause. The Hon. Member said, that although he had not the honour to be an inhabitant of theirs, he attended the meeting on an invitation he received, as he considered it was his duty so to do.—(Here Sir Francis Burdett came upon the hustings, and was received with cheers.) —When the applause had subsided, Mr. Hobhouse proceeded. It was his fate during the last Session, when opposing the measure of Select Vestry, to be attacked upon the invidious course of bringing indi vidual cases, and was often told that it would be better for him to bring in a general measure than to pursue the course of making individual attacks upon individual parishes.—(Hear, hear.)—And he had some reason to suppose' that a chalice existed of the general measure being successful.—(Hear.) —At least, if the Members of the House of Commons did their duty to the country, the measure ought to pass.—(Cheers.)—The measure would be general, and ought to be uniform as it was general. There could be no doubt in the Constitution of this country every payer of taxes was en titled to some controul over their expenditure. (Cheers.) —The Hon. Gentleman, in a further de velopement of his plan, expressed his opinion that the representation of parishes should be upon the precise plan of that of the country at large ; because men would then have the means of distinguishing the worth of their representatives. The Hon. Memr her sat down loudly cheered. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT said, that they might rely upon it he would do every thing to promote the views of his Hon. and Learned Colleague. Mr. POPE, Mr. FIELDER, Mr. CRAWFORD, Col. Sams, Mr. M. DAWSON, and other Gentlemen, ad dressed the meeting, all approving of its object; and eventually a subscription to defray the expenses of applying to Parliament, if necessary, and the ex penses of co-operating with other parishes, to obtain the overthrow of the Select Vestry system, were agreed upon. The thanks of the meeting were next voted to Sir T. Baring, to Mr. Hume, to the Members for Westminster, and to the liberal portion.of the press, for its powerful advocacy of their cause; and a sub scription being entered into, the meeting gave three cheers, and dissolved at four o'clock. CHATtGE OF FRAUD REFUTED. EADVERTISEMENT.j—MARLBOROUGH-STREET. On Wednesday Messrs. C. and J. Jordan, of the Medi cal Establishments, No. 60, Newman-street, Oxford-street, and No. 11, Caroline-street, Bedford-square, attended by Mr. Adolphus, appeared before Mr. DYER and Sir G. FARRA NT, under the following circumstances : Mr. Adolphus begged permission to trespass for a few minutes on the time of the Magistrates, but more parti cularly Sir G. Farrant. Ile (Mr. Adolphus) came for ward on behalf of the Messrs. Jordan, who carried on a most extensive business, in which they expended not less than 11,000/. annually, 6,000/. of which went to the Government in the shape of stamp duty, and 5,000/. for advertisements. These gentlemen com plained, and with great reason, of an ex-parte ap plication made at that office on the 19th instant, and which appeared in the newspapers, charging them with fraud and imposition, because they re fused to refund money received fur medicine eight months previous. The newspaper reports stated that the medi cine in question—the " Balm of Rakisiri," was pronoun.. ced " noxious stuff," by lips from whirls he was certain such language never issued, and epithets applied to the conduct of his clients of a most prejudicial description.— The parties applying were then advised to go immediately to the Sessions. and indict his clients for a fraud. This they had not done, and the only remedy left to his clients was to act as they now did, and boldly dare them to come forward and repeat their base and unfounded charge, for they would never suffer themselves to be frightened by attacks of this kind into the returning of money which they earned by their honest industry. Their medicine had been established in the public estimation more than twenty years, and agents of the first respectability • were appointed for its sale in every town throughout Great Britain ; and he (Mr. Adolphus) could, were it necessary, cover the floor with testimonials in its favour from the highest authorities. The statement made on Thursday was not on oath, nor were his clients present to defend themselves. Such statements had gone forth to the public, and had, no doubt, been accredited by many. It was, therefore, pregnant with the most injurious conse quences to his clients. Was it not too much that public opinion should be biassed by such scanda lous misrepresentations, which could be refuted if the parties would dare again to come forward ? The gentlemen of the public press, who were present at the time the application had been made, no doubt be lieved the statement, and, as they were the unintentional propagators of the calumny, he hoped they would, in the same way, give the remedy. When be (Mr. Adolphus) was applied to by Messrs. Jordan, he advised them to re turn no money whatever, it being bona fide a purchase on all occasions, and he wished they had adhered literally to his advice. fie also advised them to await the breaking up of the Grand Jury, and then ascertain if any bill had been applied for; but there had not, and they now came forward to meet publicly any charge which could be al leged against them. Mr. Fitzpatrick, the Chief Clerk, said that application had been made for a bill at the Sessions, but had been refused. Sir G. FARRANT said that he recollected the applica tion being made to him by a young woman and her at torney, and his telling them that it was a case with which the Magistrates could not interfere ; but, if the parties had any grounds for a charge of fraud, to go before the Grand Jury, who were then sitting, and prefer a bill of in dictment. Mr. Adolphus—They knew they could not get a bill. The charge of fraud was monstrous in all its bearings. Who ever heard of a person making a purchase using the article so purchased, and then, forsooth, demanding their money back, much less making a charge of fraud against the tradesman so refusing? Had his clients vended the low trash sold in sixpenny pill-boxes, by which one-half of his Majesty's subjects might be poi soned, the case would be different; but their medicine was sold in bottles at thirty-three shillings each; and its in creasing circulation, after 20 years' trial, was the best answer to the base attempt which had been made to els,. grade it. No persons were compelled to become rut chas!rs ; the:efore, whence the frauct . ? And surely no : . purchaser would return a second, and even a third time, with lut having been benefitted by the first trial.. •He trusted this appeal would meet the eyes of all those whose minis might have been prejudiced by the unfounded state •ment put forth to the world last week, as all that Messrs. Jordan desired was " a clear stage and no favour." Thanking the Magistrates for their patient attention, Mr. Adolphus and Messrs. Jordan left the office. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S. • The room was very numerously and respectably attended yesterday, and some heavy engagements were made ; the betting, however, was almost entirely confined to the Derby, for which two or three changes have occurred. The Elec tress colt improved. a point during the afternoon, and at the close was rather in advance of Canvas; the new fa. vourite, Rupert, has been backed to a very large amount ; he was tired by Mr. L. Charlton, and is now the proper►y of Lord Mountcharles, whose stable improves every year. Green Mantle was a shade behind our last quotation ; but little or nothing was done on this Stakes, the only bet we heard being 30 to 1 agst Mouse.

ASCOT GOLD CUP. This splendid prize, which last year created so great a sensation in the Sporting World, is likely this season to exceed all former years in value and importance. The en tries ate not only numerous, but include all the best horses in the kingdom, and bring together Cadland, The Colonel, Zinganee, and Merchant, who were so much talked off in the last Derby and Leger.
