SPORTING NOTES. No. CLXIV. ANALYSIS OF THE SEVENTY-THIRD DERBY. (Continued from Note No. CLXIII.) TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In the last note I gave ray opinion of Scott's, Cooper's, and Sam:glees Derby Lots ; I shall now pro ceed in my dissection of the merits of those animals in the other leading stables that are engaged in this great stake. Before I do so, however, I must correct a mis- take that got, somehow or other, into my remarks on Cooper's lot. I stated that the Chief Baron Nicholson and Kingston ran a dead heat for the Triennial Stakes at Stockbridge, and that that performance stamped them as much on a par; of the two I was inclined to give the preference to Kingston for the Derby Course; it should have been the Csief Baron that I gave the preference to, as Kingston, in my judgment, at present, is but a mile horse, no matter what ho may eventually turn out to be in his fourth or fifth year. The lot in importance next to those I have already mentioned is JOHN DAY'S, which consists of seven animals of every description, good, bad, and indifferent; five of them have already ap peared in the market, and at various times been stiffly supported by the public more than by the partisans of the stable. Of these Filius, Vortex, and Little Harry, have had the greatest amount of the circulating medium lavished upon their chances. The great gun, however, seems to be Mr. Stirling Davidson's nomination, VORTEX, abr c by Voltaire, out of Martha Lynn; he is, as will be seen, full brother to Voltigeur, and has lately been shifted from the care of J. Dawson, of Mid dleham Moor, to the great stable of the south. He has appeared in public but twice, running in anything bat a satisfactory manner either time. At Doncaster was not placed for the Champagne Stakes, won by Augur, Daniel O'Rourke (s econ d) , and Bay Rosalind (third). Bird-on the-wing and Homebre wed were also before Vortex. In his second essay, two days after, for a T.Y.C.Sweepstakes, he was beaten by Alfred the Great and Lady Harriet. This running of his must not be taken as any criterion of what the horse can do, as he was by no manner of means in the best form imaginable on either of those occasions; moreover, he is to my eye much more highly gifted with staying powers than with those of speed; notwithstanding I am convinced that he is no Voltigeur, and in my opinion stands but a moderate chance. He is in good form, and under the superior training of John Day will be as near the mark on the day as it will be possible to make him. Sir Robert Pigot has a couple, both in the hetting, in Filius and Father Themes, the latter gaining the most support at the hands of the Ring. Emus, a b c by Venison, out of Birth day, at Goodwood, accomplished his best per formance, winning a 200 Boys. Stakes, beating Houlakin, Herschel, and Claverhouse, the last named be it remembered having been run off his legs in his pre vious race at this meeting. Filius afterwards ran fourth to Maidstone for the Prendergast Stakes. At an out side figure throughout the winter this horse has been backed for large sums, but all of which, if I err not, is gone into the sinking fund. Sir R. Pigot's other nag, FATHER THAMES, a ch c by Faugh-a-Ballagh, dam by Bran, out of Active, was not placed at Goodwood for the Ham Stakes, won by Cla verhouse; and in the Newmarket Second October Meet ing was not good enough to beat Scarecrow for a 200 Soya. Stakes, consequently his chance may be set down as perfectly hopeless, he having of late given but few signs of improvement. Sir R. Pip! will not sweep the Derby of 1852. Mr. Josiah ArCOla'S LITTLE HARRY, a b c by Epirus, out of Fraudulent, ran third to Adine for the Weston Stakes at Bath, and at Newmarket was a moderate se cond to Ravenswing for a 50 Sovs. Plate, finishing his two years old performances by winning most unexpectedly the Bedford Stakes, beating Ambrose and Frantic. This latter performance at once elevated him into the position he holds in the betting; like numerous others, however, he has got but little chance of carrying off this stake for his owner. Lord Palmerston's nomination, a b c BUCKTHORN, by Venison out of Zeila, at Epsom, ran third to Elcot for the Woodcote Stakes; at Ascot was beaten by Hobbie Noble, and 'at Winchester was unable to beat the Little Savage. He, so far as the Derby concerns him, may be sent to the rightabout at once. Mr. Howard's b o GELEON, by lon out of Jenny Jumps, half-brother to the Grecian, not yet appeared to public view, is a showy-looking horse, something like his half-brother, but is not destined to accomplish any great feats as a three-years old. Mr. B. Way's b C STAPLETON, by Slane out of Cha mois, is as yet dark; he is reported to be a tidy animal, but is of no earthly use for the Derby. HARLOCK'S LOT consists of four of Lord Exeter's animals—to wit, Stockwell, Lens, Ambrose, and Ilex. The first named has been considered the pick of the stable. I, however, give the preference to AMBROSE, a bl o by Touchstone out of a brunette by Priam. He has been running more than any other two-year old during the last season, carrying all weights, and going pretty nearly all dis tances, but very indifferent success; the consequence is, that he will be more or less stale at the commencement of the ensuing season. His best performance was run ning second to Red Hind for the Criterion Stakes. It is singular that, out of twelve starts, he was placed second or third in every instance but one. He is an useful animal for small stakes, another Midas, uncommonly game, but of no use on the downs of Epsom. STOCXWELL, a ch c by the Baron, out of Pocahontas, has met with a great deal of support, which his only couple of performances (at Newmarket) do not seem to warrant, having only accomplished the feats of running second to Maidstone for the Prendergast, and fourth to Red Hind for the Criterion. I will venture to predict that Stockwell is not one of the names shouted from the top of the Grand Stand on the Derby day. LENS, a ch c by St. Martin, out of Camera Obscure, and ILEX, a ch c by Beiram, out of Dahira, are of no account whatever. FO BERT'S LOT consists of Lord Egliuton's trio—Claverhouse, Pelopi das, eud Lucio. CLAvEniaousE, a b c by Birdcatcher, out of Blue Bonnet, is at present somewhat out of favour, on account of being shin sore, and otherwise out of order, though up to last week a great favourite. His performances have been considerably above mediocrity; in fact, I may almost say, first class. He made his debit at New market by running second to Hobbie Noble for the July Stakes, beating Livermere and two others easily. He next appeared at Goodwood, where he won the Ham Stakes, beating Harbinger and seven others easily by two lengths; he also ran fourth (being knocked up at the time) to Filius for a 200 Sovs. Stakes, and finished by walking over for the two years old Produce, and winning the Municipal Stakes at Doncaster. He is one of the best proportioned horses to be found in the Derby entry, and more completely a Derby horse than any other. If ho trains on satisfactorily, of which I enter tain serious doubts, he will be first or second for the Two Thousand Guineas, and stand kfirst-rate chance for the great event now in consideration. PELOPIDAII, a ch c by Birdcatcher out of Bellona, has run respectably twice out of three times, and will be heard of in some of the great handicaps, but not advan tageously in the Derby market. Lucto, by Faugh-a-Ballagh out of Fantastic, is a black colt of the deepest dye. He has run once at Northallerton, where he was second to Bird-on-the wing for alO SEWS. stake. The remarks that I applied to Pelopidas I may affix to this horse. PECK'S LOT is centred in a couple, L namely, Womersley and Young Hammond, the former enjoying the principal attention. Major Yarborough's be YOUNGHAMMOND, by Ithuriel out of Easter, has never appeared in public, though he is to be seen daily at exercise at Malton, where ocular demonstration may be had of his being no Derby horse, yet is a tidy animal. Mr. S. Liawk6'd b C WOIIERSLEY, by Irish Bird catcher out of Cinizelli, is as dark as his stable compa nion, but withal a much finer animal. He has engaged the attention of the betting world con siderably lately, and will do so much more ero long tion atlMalton is to be credited. More of him anon.

Every quid-nunc has bad his conjecture as to the causes of the retirement or dismissal of Lord Palmer ston, and almost every one of the metropolitan jour nals has put forward its statement of alleged or quasi facts in relation to the event. All these statements have been coloured heretofore with regard to the pre judices of the parties by whom they have been circu lated. Some organs of public or of private opinion will have it that the Court and the Premier were in dignant at the replies given by the Foreign Secretary to the metropolitan addresses respecting M. Kossuth ; others, again, professing to be possessed of all the facts of the case, insist that an intrigue of the Greys—or of the whole Family Party—had driven from power almost the only antaagonist to a complete Cabinet clique of " the cousins ." others, equa lly oracular in their pretensions to be thoroughly correct, insist that the Kossuth—i. e. , the democratic leanings o f Vis count Palmerston had nothing to do with the matter —nay, they have alleged, " without fear of contra diction," that the Absolutist tendencies of the Noble Viscount formed the stumbling-block over which he fell ; and thus the public have been left to choose between the most opposite motives—between reasons the most antagonistic—as to that which is the most likely to prove the fact when all the de tails are brought before the Legislature ; for before Parliament the whole case must be placed, in what ever shape the members of the present Whig-Radical Administration shall meet it—whether as a re-con structed or patched-up Cabinet, or as a feeble and weakly opposition. We, however, happen to have possession, from undoubted authority, of all the facts in connexion with the recent event, and we shall pro ceed to detail them without any current note or com ment, adhering closely to the narrative of the events as they occurred. We shall thus afford to our readers the best possible means of deducing their own conclu sions. Before the Cabinet differences respecting the Finsbury-Kossuth affair bad been arranged with his colleagues and in higher quarters by Lord Palmer ston, Count Waleswki called on the Noble ex-Secre tary for Foreign Affairs, and communicated to him the fact of the coup d'etat which had been accom plished by the Prince President, together with the reasons by which Louis Napoleon considered himself compelled to take the steps which he had adopted. Lord Palmerston on that occasion, as the result of the interview, approved of the course adopted by the French President, considering that the reasons assigned for it by Count Walewski were suffi ciently to justify it. These facts having been made known to Lord John Russell, the Premier sent a written remonstrance to Lord Palmerston, complain ing that the Foreign Secretary had taken a step so important as that of an approval of the coup d'etat of Louis Napoleon, without consulting his colleagues, whom be thus committed to it. The reply of Lord Palmerston to this written remonstrance was, that his interview with Count Walewski had been a private conversation, and that neither its terms nor the result committed the Government to any particular course of action, and that the British Executive might, if it pleased, go to war with France even then without violating any official pledge given by him—that Count Walewski had proved to him, by unquestionable docu ments that Louis Napoleon would have been arrested in a few days by the opposite party in the Assembly (who had prepared their coup d'etat), and would have been shut up in Vincennes, had he not struck the first blow—which he had thus been compelled to strike. Thus far Lord Palmerston approved of the course adopted by the President; but, he urged, he had not then been made acquainted with the arrests, the fighting, and the other circumstances which had im mediately followed the new state of affairs, and, there fore, he did not think it necessary to consult formally his colleagues as to circumstances which had only been initiated. Moreover, he did not consider it ne cessary for a Secretary of State—the acknowledged head of a department—to consult his colleagues as to every transaction which came properly and positively under his administration. This reply to the Premier Lord Palmerston considered would be thoroughly sa tisfectory, and he rather expected the arnende honourable; but to his amazement he received a demand for the transmission of his seals of office to the First Minister of the Crown. On Monday, the 22cl ult., the Cabinet met. The members of the Administration were up to that time perfectly ignorant of the above-mentioned occur rences, and it was then they were first informed of the fact that Lord Palmerston was no longer in office. As his dismissal was a fait accompli, there, of course, was not any opportunity for discussion, or for an attempt at reconciliation. After the Council the Premier proceeded to Windsor Castle, and commu nicated the fact of the Noble Lord's dismissal. We leave the public to judge with what feelings the an nouncement was received. Four letters were subse quently addressed to Lord Palmerston by four of his recent colleagues. Three of these were from parties who had been considered to be inimical to the general policy of the noble viscount; therefore, whether or not they were passing acts of courtesy, the more called for because they were the less to be expected on ordinary grounds, we submit to public opinion. All the facts are now before our readers. (From the Morning Advertiser.) Lord John Russell proceeded yesterday to Windsor to have an audience of her Majesty. There can be no doubt as to the object of the Premier's visit to his Sovereign. It is to report the present position of his Ministry, and to lay before her Majesty the steps be has taken, not only to fill up existing vacancies, but those also which he knows to be impending. The parties to whom the Noble Lord has made advances, are those whom we were the first to indicate as the "corning men" who were to bring "a great accession of strength" to the Whig Government. The Duke of Newcastle and Mr. Cardwell, were the first parties to whom the Premier paid court, and they, we have good reason to believe, led him to understand, that before any negotiations could be entered into with them, Sir James Graham should also be invited to take office. Whether or not the Netherby Baronet has consented to cast in his lot with the rapidly dissol ving W big Cabinet, we are not in a position to state with confidence. Of one of two things, however, we feel perfectly assured. Either Sir James Graham will not take office under Lord John, on such terms as the Noble Lord can acquiesce in ; or if be do, the two will not go on harmoniously for one brief fortnight together. It is a fact which well deserves the serious consideration of this Protestant country, that all the men, from the Duke of New castle downwards, to whom the Premier has made ad vances to join his Ministry, are men remarkable for their pro- Popish principles.. Some of them are, in deed, se d e eply ti n ged with Tractarianism, as to be on the verge of Popery. They are, besides, persons who b e l ong t o t h e C onserva ti ve p ar ty i n their political view s — a tact which may afford a fair idea of what s zni o eis r t t e o ri f a a l c ra h e a a n s g u e r s e w th h e ic :ot h elicom forthcoming Reform Bill will h h e e i a l r ,g d respectin gsent fo, be on the eve of g have taken, • It is an instructive fact, that amid all the Mi nisterial rant fact,4thaytthttelhle not or one are whisperknown s probability of the Earl of Derby should be comenihssaiNoe.e Queen.

Who could of to-day is the same person as the Lor d Stanley of 1828 ? — the believe that the Earl of Derby Noble Lord who, about that period, wrote those " Commentaries on the Miracles of our Lord," which were so universally admired for the evangelical tone by which they were pervaded throughout, as well as for the beauties and, in some instances, the brilliancies of their style ? With regard to the state of affairs between Lord John Russell and Lord Pal merston, we can state with confidence, that the alie nation between the two Noble Lords, increases every hour. We say advisedly, that the disclosures which will be made on the meeting of Parliament, will be much more damaging to the Premier, than the public have yet been led to anticipate. Lord Palmerston literally pants for the re-assembling of the Legisla ture. Lord John Russell, on the other hand, dreads the advent of the first day of the session. And with out pretending to know all, we happen to know enough to justify us in affirming, that never had a Minister of the Crown greater cause to regard a coming dis cussion with fear and trembling, than has the Whig Premier the discussion of the matters at issue between himself and the late Foreign Secretary. THE QUARTER'S REVENUE. TIMES.—The Quarterly Returns of the Revenue continue to indicate prosperity, the decrease, such as it is, generally admitting of a satisfactory explana tion. The receipts from the Customs for the quarter are less by 37,1931. than those of the same quarter last year, the decrease being considerably less than was to be anticipated from the further drop in the sugar duties last July. In the Excise there is a de crease of 162,9501., of which it is sufficient to say, that in the quarter with which the comparison is made the receipts were largely swelled by the arrears of hop duty, and the good malting season of 1850. In the Stamps the decrease is 32,2361., which, again, is much less than might have been expected from the accumulation of stamps thrown into the correspond ing quarter last year, which was the first under the reduced scale of duties. In the Assessed Taxes the decrease is 737,1311. In the corresponding quarter there was due, an d i n great part collected about 900,0001. of window duties. Their sub stitute, the inhabited house-tax, which for the future will be payable in the quarter end ing January 5, is scarcely yet in course of collection, having in many instances only just been assessed. In the Property-tax there is a decrease of 50,7741. We confess ourselves unable to offer any satisfactory solution of this fact, especially as we had to notice a decrease of 30,6641. in the same quarter last year. Possibly the reduction of rents and the alteration conceded last session in the assessment of tenant farmers may have something to do with it. In the Post-office there is set down an increase of 94,0001., the highest, we should think, that ever occurred in one quarter. In the Crown Lands there is a decrease of 20,0001., and in miscellaneous receipts an increase of 10,1831. On a comparison of these figures it ap pears that the net decrease on the ordinary revenue of the quarter is 936,1011. Such a figure, of course, will be eagerly laid bold of by those honest and sa gacious financiers who ca ll a d ecrease a ca l am ity what ever its causes, whether f rom t h e pressure of distress or the reduction of t axes . I t i s scarce l y necess ary for us to tell our read ers th a t i t i s no m i s f ortune to pay l e ss taxes, and that, so l ong as we su ff er no diminu tion of our comforts, wh a t t h e Ch ance ll or o f the Ex chequer loses we ga i n . O n ta ki ng into accoun t imprest mon eys, and a ve r y ex t ens i ve repayment o f a dvances, the decrease on the quarter's revenue becomes only 713,5471. As the principal causes of decrease have a peculiar bearing on the quarter, the returns for the year exhibit-a somewhat different result. In the Cus toms of the year there is an increase of 146,189/. ; in the Excise, 89,2091. In the Stamps the decrease is 162,0921. in the comparison with the previous year, and 431,9261. in the comparison with the year before that. In the Assessed Taxes of the year the decrease i s 796,216/, being little more than that on the quarter. The annual receipts of the Property-tax are less by 78,114 1 . than in the previous year, which, in its turn, showed a decrease of 25,122/, The Post-office is evidently the department that has reaped the chief fruits of the Great Exhibition, the increase for the year being 244,000/. As one of the great facts of this wonderful year this is remarkable enough, but the Post-office, including the foreign packet service, has long ceased to be a source of revenue to the country. The net decrease on the total ordinary items, 527,0471.

H ow c e tb n ioe l n t to answer till t h e term i nat i on of the made Cape. On the sli g h test exam i nat i on, t h en, far it o a , the state of t h e revenue is as indica question which it tive of prosperity as if it exhibited a positive in crease without any fiscal reductions. Of that pros perity there is from other sources an abundance of proof. The copious reports we gave yesterday from the manufacturing districts, from Manchester, Bir mingham, Belfast S and th ose f rom Liverpool, which occur in our City Intelligence of this morning, all conspire to show a steady and safe improvement in all branches o f manufacture, in trade, and in shipping, du rin g the past y ear . It is true that, like our agriculturists, our shipowners and our manufacturers have to contend with the compa ratively low price of foreign Competition. On the stimulus, however, of an increasing demand, they show a proper alacrity in accommodating themselves to their novel position. With cheaper ships there comes in a new race of shipowners, and capital pours in from new quarters. The shipyards are busy. Screw-steamers are rapidly superseding sailing vessels for the shorter voyages. As an example of British enterprise, it was yesterday related in the report from Nottingham that the stockingers of that city, finding themselves beaten by the low Wa g e s of Saxony, set to work, sent men who explored the resources of the foe, and, by the help of Chevalier Claussen's circular machines, have actually succeeded in beating the Saxon fabrics out of the British market. It is by such methods that England has risen, and will con tinue to rise, not by succumbing to the first shock of adversity and the first bout of foreign competition. The trade of this country has always been, and always must be, liable to vicissitudes from fluctuating supplies of material, from political events at home and abroad, and even from ephemeral discussions. The alterna tions of the storm and the calm extend to all classes. The greater part of mankind suffer these vicissitudes, and see in them the natural and a the ppointed col o ur of each individual lot. They see in m only a reason for continually increasing exertion. It is only the dream of a few, the presumption of a class, and the folly of an age, that tha Legislature is to exempt any department of industry from the common lot of men, and therefore deprive it of the universal inducement to invention and labour. CHRONICLE.—The Returns of the Quarter's Revenue, which we elsewhere publish, will be deemed highly favourable, except by those superficial ob servers who merely glance at the final figures of the comparative columns. It may be true that there is 5,789,577 577,687 865,788 99,010 587,599 158,204 8,117,865 4,507,151 12,625,016 5,761,804 569,558 744,753 99,195 351,187 313,643 7,840,140 4,159,915 12,000,055 259,108 4,159,915 4,419,023 4,228,480 100,5 , 3 a seeming decrease of nearly three-fourths of a mil. lion on the quarter; but it must be borne in mind that the decrease is only apparent—for the whole amount of it arises under the bead of Taxes, and is simply attributable to the fact that the window duty has been discontinued before it was possible to orga nize efficient arrangements for the assessment and col lection of the inhabited house-tax, which was substi tuted last session in lieu of that impost. The window duty was formerly collected in the July and January quarters ; but during the three months now expired, the revenue has not had the benefit either of that tax or of the new one which the Legislature has imposed in its stead. It will be seen, therefore, that the 700,0001. and upwards of decrease on the quarter is purely nominal—a mere matter of account-keep ing, which will be set right on the appearance of the April returns. Under all the other heads the re sults are most satisfactory, both as regards the quarter and the year. In the Customs there is a trifling decrease of 37,193/. on the quarter, but there is an increase of four times that amount (146,1891.) on the year—a fact the significance of which will be at once felt when it is remembered that several reduc tions have taken place in the tariff. In the Excise there is a decrease of 162,950/. on the quarter— arising principally from the fact that, in the corre sponding period of last year, two instalments of Hop Duty were paid under somewhat special circum stances. The absence, during the quarter just ended, of this accidental addition to the return of course produces an apparent diminution. On the year, how ever, the Excise exhibits an increase of 89,2091. The Stamps show a decrease on the quarter of 32,2361. — and on the year of 162,0921. We need hardly say that both these fallings-off arise entirely from the operation of the reduced scale of Stamp Duties introduced in 1850. Moreover, in the closing quarter of that year—which now enters into comparison with the three months just expired — there was an unusually large consumption of stamps, because the preparation of numberless deeds and in struments had been postponed until after the 10th of October, 1850, so as to bring them under the new and reduced rates of duty. As regards the decrease of 737,1311. on the quarter, and of 796,2161. on the year, under the head of Taxes, we have already ex plained that it arises from the repeal of the Window Duty, and the delay of the collection of the Inhabited House-tax. In the Property-tax there is a small fall ing-off of 50,774/. on the quarter, and of 78,114/. on the year. These sums, when compared with the magni tude of the impost in question, are exceedingly.trifling ; and the fact may easily arise from accidental causes. It may be well, however, to point out that it is impossi ble, from the very nature of the Property-tax, that any increased assessments in respect of profits on trade during the last year or eighteen months should yet appear on the face of the Revenue Returns. The basis of assessment in the average amount of annual income duricg the three years preceding each month of April, It is clear, therefore, that the Revenue returns for 1851 can only bear very partial traces of the general prosperity even of the preceding year— whilst they are altogether uninfluenced by the state of trade and industry during the last nine months. This very obvious consideration is worth the attention of those who may endeavour to find, in this portion of the present return, some support for the theory of na tional ruin and distress. In the Post-office there is a very gratifying increase of 94,000/. on the quarter, and of 244,000/ on the year. The steady progress of this branch of the revenue is one of the most encou raging features of the present time—testifying as it does, in the strongest manner, to the development, not only of the material, but also of the moral and in tellectual civilisation of the community. Under the heads of Crown Lands and Miscellaneous, there is no change calling for remark. The general results of the whole return are a decrease of 713,547/. on the quarter, and of 5 27,0471. on the year ; but, as we have already shown, these diminutions are nominal, and arise from circumstances altogether irrespective of the real productiveness of the revenue. On the whole, the document before us furnishes the most sa tisfactory evidence of the general well-being of the country, and of the perfect success of our recent commercial and fiscal legislation. We entered upon that system in the expectation of obtaining increased r evenue from diminished rates of taxation ; and the return which we publish this morning is but one proof among many of the soundness of the principles and the correctness of the calculations, on which our policy was based.

STATE OF TRADE.—Ia the manufacturing districts the closing of the old year and the beginning of the new has tended to limit transactions, but the prospects for future business, in 1852, are generally considered encouraging. At Manchester, without any great activity, trade continues in a healthy state, and prices, especially for yarns, are rather firmer than in the previous week. The factories are all run ning full time, and a heavy production is going on, for a por tion of which there are contracts, and for the current descrip tions of goods there is a steady demand at full prices. At Nottingham, Derby, and Leicester there is an improved feeling, and a general impression that there will be an active spring trade. For America, Canada, and the West Indies there are already considerable orders in coarse of execution. The usual quarterly settlement of accounts for the trade . of Birmingham and the neighbouring districts has nece.ssarff prevented the transaction of any extensive business, but tbi does not interfere with the employment of the opera," classes, which continues generally steady.

Intelligence was received yesterday at Lloyd's of the loss of the Town of Wexford steam ship, off the Sker ries, near Holyhead, during the violent north-westerly gale on Sunday morning. It appears that she left Wex ford for Liverpool in the course of Saturday, with several passengers and a general live and dead cargo. Daring the night she laboured severely in consequence of the tempestuous state of the weather, and on the following morning she was observed off the Skerries, under can vass, her machinery apparently having broken down, or in some way becomes disabled. After beating off f or about two hours, she dropped her anchor and brought to, in the hope of the weather moderating and being abl e to clear the lee shore. However, the gale continued with but little intermission, and about two o'clock in the at ternoun she parted fr om her anchor, an d was driven ashore near Trefadog , some three or f our miles to the eastward of the bay.

HILARY TERM.—Yesterday the lists of the arrears of the common law courts for the ensuing Hilary Term, com mencing on Monday next, were exhibited. The three courts number only (with the exception of Crown cases) 118, which principally consist of matters arising from new trials moved in Michaelmas Term on cases heard on circuit. Henceforth, rules obtained in one term will be heard in the following term, and not, as was formerly the case in the Court of Queen's Bench, where matters stood over from 18 months to two years. In the Queen's Bench there are two special cases and demurrers, one for arrangement and 13 for argument. There are seven enlarged rules, two rules in the new trial , and 27 for argument, making the whole number 52. In the Common Pleas the number is only 21, of which four are de murrers, two enlarged rules, 13 for new trial, and one laa4e r , s t an ding for judgment.

FALL OF TWO HOUSES. —Yesterday afternoon mu. siderable alarm prevailed in the neighbourhoedl square, Clerkenwell, in consequence of the fal at o t f h w t ? houses in Bath-row, adjoining, as it was kngfxrn Terr e m i . e.sy int builder,height several men in the employment of ee - :stor . consequence of Whiskin-street, were engaged in their demolition. It ants had nc° ap peared that the houses, which ofh r had been condemned by the proprietor their dilapidated state, and thetV' left. Scaffolding was erected, and the men had taken d own the front of each, the tiles and with the roof of one of them, . a portion of the bricks having been fiveslced on the roof of the other house. Between four and o'clockt l e n the afternoon there were six men, with Woodlard h ,a foreman, at work under the ground floor of one, d w en bricklayer in the other building thought he observe s y mp toms of the party wall collapsing. d ard who immediately He informed Woo w , . i directed the men to make their escape. This was promptly done, and they scarcely clear of the scaffolding when both shells of the were houses fel l. But for the w arn i ng g i ven by the bricklayer, 1 the men would have been buried in the ruins. The accident is a ll e ged to have been caused in consequence of the weight of a stack with metal chimneys, in the party wall, between the two houses. The whole mass fortunately fell perpendi cularly, and but little injury was done to the houses on the opposite side of the way, the damage they sustained having been caused by the scaffold poles being projected against them. No personal injury was received by any one. RETIRED FULL PAY LIST.—We understand a new warrant is about to be issued with reference to the fall pay retirement. The number of brevet officers and captains to be 110 instead of 115. The number of full pay captains at 11a. 7d. to be reduced from 70 to 36, and that of brevet field officers at 13s. 7d., to be increased from 45 to 74. Of the latter there is at present but one vacant. 49 200 nd 11d be itb gie aye 08 etl"
