EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DA.Y.) (Sittings at Nisi Pries at Gnifiball, ixfk,re the LORD CHIEF BALION and a Common jury.) IVINDI.P. V. A.ZiDZItSO:"7. in this action, which was brought for a breech of con tract, the plaintiffs were Messrs. Windle and Company, ship brokers, of Gould-belt:are, Minories, and the de fendants were Mesirs.- Anderson and Moline, merchants. Mr. Bramwell and Mr. Bev, kirs eppared for the plaintiffs; and Mr. Batt ft:r the defendants. The particulars of the case were brit fly as follows: — On the 30th Jttratiary, 1851. the defendants entered into a contract with the plaintiffs for the importation of between 400 and 500 tens of rough ice from Norway. The plaintiffs accordingly chartered a vessi:l• calltd the Prima, which proceeded on her voyage to Nor',4Y, and hh o arrived in England with a full cargo of ice on the 2-1 of April. Notice was given to the defendants of her arrival, with a rt (pest that they would clear the cargo, but. they neglecteu to do so. Tho plaintiffs sub requently bold the ice, but the Market price having if] the mean time fallen they did so at a very great reduc tion. Th e action was brought to rectrier the difference between the arnoutit obtained from the sale and the "mut of frei g ht age agree d u pon b e t w een the parties. No def ence was effs-red, and a verdict by consent was fouud for the plaintiffs for 1251. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY ) OLD COURt.' (Befit - Et Mr.l3aroti PLATT.) DIMIDER.—Duvid .13e!use°, aged 27, deFcrilicd as a tailor, was placed in the dock, charged with the wilful, mu►der of Robert Clarke. Mr. fluddlestonu conluc'erl the case for the prosecu tion, awl Mr. Bat' amine, with whom was Mr. Robinson, for ih© deterce. This case has been 'so recently hJore the public that the facts" must be familiar to our readers. The prieoner was the keeper of a house of ill-fame, in Banbury court, Idart-street, and a f:w weeks agcy the deceased, while in a state of intoxieatiJn, repaired there late at night, with two women. They were shown up stairs, but it was then found that the deceased had no money, and the prisoner went up to tutu them out. A scuffle, 'then ensued, owing to one of the girls calling the deceased " and 'his 'afterwards refusing to leave the place, and in the course cf the altercation the prisoner peshcd the deceased, and he fell down the stairs, breaking his neck in the fall. Tie deceased never rose seem; but the priioner, assisted by someone else, idled the hotly up and pined it against the wall of the house on the opposite side of the court. The priso ner then sent for some gin, and treated the two women, telling them to say nothing ebent what had occurred, but as they left the house they ereenntered a policeman, t) whom they related what taken place, and the prisoner was taken into custody. This aspect of the can) was deposed to by the two wemvn. The prisoner, before he knocked the deceased down, - pulled and pushed him about very much, and one ot•the girls said, " Don't hurt the man," end the prisoner replied, " You are a woman of the world, and ought to know better," and neither of them interfered to prevent the ill usage. Mr. BALTANTINE addressed the jury for tee defence, and afterwards proceeded to call a woman, who said she was a servant of the house, and who gave a flat contra diction to the statement of the two females. Mrs. Belasco and the two women wero trying, she said, to get the deceased away, when one of the girls pushed against him. and he fell down the stairs head foremost The prisoner, she swore, was not on the landing at all, and all that he did was to shake him while he lay on floor at the bottom of the stairs, and she it was who carried him out into the court. There was a man and a woman in the front parlour during the disturbance, and the latter, a Jewess, swore that the prisoner was smok ing a pipe in the parlour when the altercation took place Upstairs. She heard the deceased fall, and the prisoner opened the parlour door and tried to shake him up, but she saw that it was a woman's quarrel, and advised him to return to the parlour and leave the girls to settle it, which he did. Mr. Bsron PLATT summed up, and The jury, witbout any hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty of manslaughter, and upon their expressing an opinion that two of the witnesses for the prisoner, a man named Turner, and a woman nutted Levinson, had conitnitied perjury, the Learned Judge ordered them into custody to be tried fur that offence. The prisoner was sentenced to be kept to hard labour for twelve months. BOW-STREET. 7 —(THIS DAY.) John Middleton, the person who was on Wednesday last a uecond time remanded upon the charge of sending a threatening letter to the Earl of Derby-, was this day again brought up before Mr. Henry. The AlearsTrixrx having heard further medical eri denea of the prisoner's insanity, said that he must sign on order for his removal to the Asylum at Colney Hatch, Unless his friends were prepared to give bail for his safe keeping. Mr. Baxter, the gentleman who had on previous occa sions shown great interest in the prisoner's affairs, de clared himself ready to put in th© necessary bail; but the prisoner's solicitor declined the offer, and Middleton was accordingly ordered to be recuov,d to the Asylum. ATLANLIC AND PACIFIU SHIP CANAL . • COMPANY. By the advices this week truth New Yotk, it appears that commissioners from the American Atlantic and Pa cific Ship Canal Company were expected to leave e.'moit immediately fur England, together with Colonel Childs (tot oattly the chief engineer of the Sato of New York), to sehreit, according to the Lonclon agreement of Oeto ber,, 1850, the completed surveys and estimates of the work. It will be remembered that the negotiations at that period result( d in a pledge on the part of some of our leading firms, that if the undertaking were found practicable at a cost that would promise a fair revenue, it should be introduced with all their influence to the .legliele public, the company, in return, pledging them selves to allow, under those circumstances, a participa tion, upon t quitakle terms, to the extent of one-half, so that the interests of Great Britein and America Might be identical. It is now understood that, after a thorough exploration by hinrielf and his exploring corps, the report of Colonel Childs will demon strate that, both as regards cost end difflculty, the enterprise will not only be dew serious then many of the ordinary aindertekiogs carried out in the United 'i 3 tites but such as to cause surprise that it should tvor !Ave been neglected. Instead of the elevation of 487 feet, supposed to exist on the slip of land which separates Lake Nicaregua from the Pacific, it beaus that the highest rise is 48 feet, vihi'e with rt gatd to the river San Juan it has been found that the greater part is perfectly available, and, that in the portion where the river cannot be deed the excavation will be through land entirely level and without rock. Ueeltr these circumstances the compauy, it is raid, are pie pared immediately to proceed, either alone or in concurrence with Eegland, as may be decided upon. The temporary transit which was opened in July, 1851, has yielded a return which is proportionately Without example, and inspired by this experience and by the ardour which is now manifesting itself on the sub. ject throughout the entire Union, the leaders of the un dertaking,while they express an undiminished desire for a mutual arrangement, elate themselves at the same time to be indisposed to any further delay. A prompt and final adjustment of the question is, therefore to be anticipated. In the eighteen months which have `elapsed since the commissioners originaty visited England the Australiati discoveries have doubled the urgency as well as the temptations of the work, and the intentions of the United States to seek a direct intercourse with Japan, and to Establish forthwith a steam route to China, have also developed new motives of a momentous character. The impulses towards an immediate settlement are, therefore, of the strongest kind, and there can also be no doubt that in case the co mpany should require' it, their own Geverualect will he prepared to aid diem to the full ex tent of its constitutional powers.

The hero wanders about in nil directions, and certainly with vary ill luck attending him, which no one can wonder at from his imprudent actions and want of resolution. After twice mistaking one Tiling lady for another, he was compe',led to fight a duel with the brother of the one mistaken by him for the object of his regard.

A JOURNEY TO THE TEA COUNTNES OF C THN El. Hy Robert Fortune, Author of " Three Years of Wanderings in China." Murray. This work includes a visit to Sung-to and toe Bohea Hills, and a notice of the East India Com peny's tea plantations in the Himalaya Mountains. The author observer, "As I went far inland, and visited many districts almost unknown to Europeans, I now venture to lay an account of my travels and their results before the public. My object is to give a peep into the Celestial Empire, to show its strange bilk and romantic valleys, its rivers and canals, its natural productions, whether in the field, or on the hill side, or in the garden, and its strange and inte resting people, as they were seen by me in their every day life. As I hope my readers will accompany me through the whole of my journey, I shall have the pleasure of taking them to India and the Himalayas, and showing them the Government tea plantations, from which much is expected, and which are 'likely to prove of great advantage, not Dilly to India, but also to England and her wide-spreading colonie,." will therefore be seen tbat the descriptims and experience of the author are not limited to any particular spot. There are sixteen illustrations, of which the most striking is a view in the green tea district, the mode of gathering the ling, and .a bird's eye view of the Stream of Nine Windings. The method of gathering the ling is very singular. It is a plant that grows in the water, and produces a fruit that is much esteemed. Women and boys sail about in tubs. Their appearance is said to be very ludicrous, "swimming on the lake each in his tub." The account of drying the leaves of the tea plant is very interesting—it shows the different treatment of the black and green tea. The writer gives a more favourable idea of the country than of the inhabitants ; though he does not absolutely accuse them himself,' we gather from his pages that they are avaricious and false, with very little regard for the truth. The amount of information to be obtained from the volume is considerable, and the readers must feel great satis faction in the successful results cf the journey of so painstaking and persevering a traveller. THE SUN, LONDON, - - SIR JAS. GRAHAM AND THE DERBY ADMINISTI?ATION. Sir Seines Graham has just published the following the eleetoraot the city of Carlisle TO THE ELECTORS OF CARLISLE. " Grosvenor-place, May 8. " Gentlemen,—eSame time has now elapsed since I ac cepted a. r' quisition to stand for Carlisle, in conjunction with Mr.'Eergusten, at the next general election; and a chane,e has taken place in th e p osition of public affairs since' I had the honour if addressing you at a public meeting. -- • " I teen observed bow difficult it had become to find a Protectionist witheteteli•guise. This difficulty increases. In cities Rad boroughs the least intention of reimposing a cora:la:al has been generally disclaimed by the candi data; riven in counties a lingering desire for a corn•law has been timidly allowed; end in Parliament the last shadow of Peosection - eeems to have vanished in the smoke of a , " Tho Chenceller of the Exchequer has made his financial stetement, The official homage paid to truth hoe been a hill adraiSsion of the benefits of free trade, and thne Pudget :for the current year is based on an ' adop:ion of the ennamercial and financial policy of the late Sir Robert Peel, which has been so much maligned. "It is not sae, however, to preimmo that ibis policy is now pieced b.:yerai the re ach of danger; its fete is in, the !:ands of: tho electere at the approachin,g dissolution of Parliament. " Lord Derby, kincehe'beeame the First Minister, has declared in his place in Padiarnent that-he is an admirer of the tariff .f the States, which imposes high import duties on all articles from abrcad which may be produced at home; ite-aditd that he considers corn no just extioplion to this-rule, and that in his opinion the reimposition of a duty on corn is the measure which would best Fs tisfy the- claims of the landed interest for coolietisation on,aceodat of their peculiar burdens. " The pree nt Secretary of State for the Colonies de 'claretithetehe is still opposed to the de:sce.nding scale of du ties'ortf7sreign sugar, and he avows that, if be had the power and the _opporteinity, he would prolong the en hancement of the price_or the British consumer for the exe!usivo benefit of the colonial grower, by the eon tinuence of a discriminating duty. Surely this is Pro tection in-its naked deformity. " An important branch of Sir Robert Peel's financial policy is the redaction of indirect taxation, and the sub stituti*nroFelirect taxation in lieu of it, within moderate Chermellor of the Exchequer, when be prOPoebl'ae'renesval of the income-tax for another year, gave a significant warning, and notified his opinion that direct taxation, witbOnt large exteaptione, is impracti ticable; andethat witlalarge exemptions it must be re garded as confieeation. . " So matteri stood on-Friday,' when the Chancellor of the Exchequer opined his budget: 'On Saturday morn ing the Sfilleiter-General addle-saes ihefreeholders of the couety of - S r iaff )Ik, and seeks their seaport on the express ground that this repeal of the cornelawe has been ruinous, and unwisee, that the ag.i_oiculturiste, if" they require re lief, nattaelook: to the Adininistration of Lord Derby, which is ready to adminis:er it to them in the next Parliament; and that with a view to the satisfaction of their just claims their hopes, mast rest on the existing Administration. Again,-the Chancellor of the Exche qaer has returned to his original ground; and even since his speecheon the budget-he has declared that ' when her Majesty shall have recurred to the sense of her people, the Government aro reputed to fulfil, as far as lies in their power, that - pollee , With regard to the agricultural interest which they advocated on the Opposition side of the House.'

Claudet, in the ctfiracter Of the oldest photograper, and A therefore, probably, the most prfjudic, has taken it very much areisslhat the pubic has learnt the fact that photographic portraits taken by lenses deviate greatly, and more and more from truth as the lenses increase in diameter. I took the earli , st opportunity of communi eatirg this new end important Ica to my photographic friends Messrs. Ross and Thomson, photographers to the Queen in Edinburgh; to Mr. Kilburn, photographer to the Queen in L-ndoe; and to Mr. Hennemann and Mr. Berne, who have produced such beautiful portraits, the one on paper, and the other with collodion on glass. All these gentlemen received the information as a valu able contribution to the art which they so skilfully prac tise—as an explanation, toe, of the well-known imper fection of photographic portraits, and as a stimulus to re move it by using small lenses and searching for more sensitive materials. They - did not, like M. Claudet con sider the announcement of a scion iflc truth as an in vasion of their p,cunitify interests; and while be, on the ananxity of his experitoents, will continue to prac tise his art as he has hitherto done, with larger lenses; they, and we trust many , othersovill nut disdain to guide the light of the san by the light of science, and thus di minish the noraber of, these grim anamorphoses of hu manity which proCeed„frorn no studio more copiously than those of M. Claudet, and which, though a terror to the d )mestic circle, have the merit of showing us how we shell look in a! winding sheet, or under the more gheo!tly phase of a pest mortera examination. If you, Sir, or any or your readers will take the trouble of "Joking into aMartiele," Binocular :Vision and the Stereoscope," in the !n umber of the - North British :Review just published, y‘ou will form a better opinion on the subject under discussion; and will see it demon strafed that the method employed by M. Claudet of :taking biaccular portraits, to- be raised into relief by the steremcepe, is not duly utterly erroneous in principle, and incapable of giving a--correct representation of the human term, but that it actually involves the very op tical truth which he professiehially repudiates.

The grace from the Laudi Spirituali having been sung on the removal of" the cloth, The CHAIRMAN rose to propose << The Health of her . Majesty the Queen." He said h e thought it due to him , self to c - mgratulate the institution on seeing so large and di,tioguished a company ce.nmbled on that occasion, end having said that he proceeded to perform the HR. Mediate duty which devolved upon him as the chairman of the evening.—(Hear, hear.) They were met on the anniversary of her Majesty's birthday.—(Loud cheers).. In giving that toast be called upon all present to reflect en the blessings which this great nation enjoyed under the benignant sway of her Majesty.—(Cheers.) Let them reflect on the character of our beloved Sovereign; she was the grace ot all society, and an example of all domestic virtue. He proposed the Queen, may her ?de jesty never be lees popular, and may she ever reign over a happy, a loyal, and a contented people, as she now dues.—(Cheers.) National Anthem.

They were m e t t h ere that even i ng on an important occasion. —(Haar, hear.) Theirs was not a charitable but a philanthropic meeting; for one of the objects of the society was not so much to provide for the present as the future, an object, he thought, which well deserved their serious attention and constant support. — (Hear, hear.) Every one in this country was more or less engaged in trade, and every one Mere or less was thrown upon his own immediate resources, and the prin ciple of self-reliance and selhstipport had become, as it were, part of the glorious Constitution under which we lived.— (Cheers.) In this country the Government not only taught, but almost compelled all of us to rely on ourselves, and in furtherance of that doctrine, no doubt, this admirable institutton had been founded, which was to all intents and purposes a Doric column with a Co rinthian capital.—(Cheers.) Happily they lived under a Constitution where freedom was enjoyed to the fullest extent, and one of the peculiar features which attracted to it, and which was to be at tributed to the existence of institutions like this, was that it was free from those revolutions and convulsions which had shaken the foundations of other nations.— ( Hear, hear.) The cause of this was well known and appreciated in this country. Men here did not look only at to-day, bat they thought of to-morrow, and carried their mind's eye into distant ages, and hence arose the .iberality with which the charitable, benevolent, and provident institutions of England were Supported.-- —(Hear, hear.) Englishmen did not alone seek for the wants of to-day, but they made provision for th e f uture also, and one of the peculiar features of the country was her life assurance societies.—(hear, hear.) No later ago than that very morning he had received a paper from a life assurance society, the con tents of which greatly astonished him, for it would appear from this document, which he held in his hand, that magistrater,- judgee, barristers, legislators, and, in fact, every class ot the community, were sensibly aware of the i m p ortance of insuring their lives, us a .provision f or t h e i r f am ili es hereafter; and it appeared that the ext raor di nary sum of 5,000 ' 0004 was annually put aside for the purposes of life assurance, to secure 131,000,0001. to be granted for the benefit of families, when those who bad insured should be no snore.— (Cheers.) They should never forget the value and im portance of that principle Which taught them to put by something allies; in ea in a p er i o d o f pr o sperity to meet future Daces • se they s h ou ld b e over taken by adversity here af:er, and it was upon that ground that ho appealed to them to support this institution.—(Cheers.) Let him read to them a paper which had been placed in his hands to show the progress which the institution had made and was now making.—(Hear, hear.) It appeared from this paper that in 1846 the society attained that point ot _ prosperity which enabled the committee to commenea dispensing their benefit% and since then the extent of relief afforded to Omen who were in want of it had gone on increasing.— (Cheers.) The founders and supporters of the soc i ety had divided i ts progress into two stages, the first of whi c h would b e c ompleted when the funds should h ave reached 10,000/., an d t h e (Hear, hear.) The fist epoch second when the funds had mounted up to 20,0001 hinee he understood the funds already amounted to 9,9281. 3s. 2d., and he bad no doubt the sum would be made 10,0004 before the company aoparated.—(Cheers.)

L'Elisir d' Awn e. By Donizetti THE MUSICAL TREASURY. Part CXLVII, G. Davidson, Peter's•hili. This arrangement belongs to the series of cheap operas that are published every month. It is suited to the capabilities of ordinary performers, who will, doubtless, be glad to obtain the music of this cele brated composer at FO low a price. The present number of the Musical Treasury is devoted entirely to 'Jackson's Morning- Senice ' in E flit. They are beautifully arranged, and are far superior to the general class o: cheap sacred music. THE CRYSTAL PALACE. The purchaso or the gieateglass house has at last been completed ,by . the payment of .70,000/..t0 Abe contractors for it as it stands, and ies. format conveyance to its new propr:etorti. The transaction was brought.to a oldie yes e , terd-v 'at twelve o'clock, in.the building, and was ce t lebratcd by a de jeuner, supplied from Gunter's, of which abOut 30 gentlemen partook, in the centre of the trots. , Sept. A variety of roasts were given, and speeches made' suitable to the occasion. The nominal purchaser is Me. Francis Fuller, a member of the exteuive committee fur the Great Exhibition. The real proprietors are tha chair man and some of the directors of the Brighton Reilwity. Cempiny, who have, we believe en`.ered into the under taking as likely to be a profitable one in connexion with tht ir. line. The purchase, and the immediate advance of raoney.which was necessary for its completion, will, it is understood, be followed up by the formation of a "Crystal Palace Company," and the issue of shares,. which will, be secured by a guarantee of 6 per cent. It is in non trmplation to remove the palace to a site at Sydenhaw, which, in the cpinion of tthe new proprietors, possesses peculiar advantages for the purpose. A new line of rens will be laid down to accommodate the iccreased pae seuger traffic which the attractions of the building are expected to create, and a short branch railway frun the main line will also be necessary. It is further proposeo, by a branch, to connect the South-Western lisle with the building. and thus to afford the advantage of access tram the London-bridge, Bricklayers' Arms, Waterloo, and Veuxlilleerznini. The plan of the undertaking is still only roughly chalked out, and some of the teaturea whieh we . now allude to may„ on a further eouaideration, be modified or entirely changed. One thing, ,however, is certain, and it is, that men of capital and enteiprise have come forward to carry out this work, and that. they enter upon it ,with a. firm rceolation to do well, and, if possible, to make it successful. They have already sccurud the valuable services of Mr. Owen Jonei and Mr. Digny Wyatt, and it is probable that other familiar names in counexion with the Great Exhibition wiil shortly be added to their list of employes. In the ex, pert bandied Messrs, Fox and 11.nd,rsou the form of the Felice, when reconstructed, will, no doubt, undergo extensive alterations and improvements, its multiplying proportions affording the widest facilities fur doing so. Of its internal arrangements, nothing, of coarse,:ean yet be said, except in the' most general terms; Fut if, may .be pretty, confidently Stated that the proprietors will' rely, for some time at least, upon the attrac ions of a: winter garden, embellished with fountains sad statuary, as, in combination with the building, their main element of success. The removal of the building from Hyde park will now be prosecuted with vigour, and it is con fidently expected that by the Ist of May, 1853, the Crystal Palace will be once more open to the public on its new site at Sydenhnm. ANOII3I,ER ACC DUN T. Yesterday, th e bargain by which the Crystal Palace is transferred from the contractors to its new proprietors re ceived its final ratification within the walls of the build ing itsilf. The names cf the purchasers did not tran spire, but they were represented fiy Mr. Charles Fader, who took formel possession, and paid down the purchase money, 70,000/. It is understood to have !moth° the property of a company, of which Mr. Laing, the chair man of the London and Brighton Railway, is chairman; and that tlie intebtien is, to remove it to a site near Sydephana, a dis' ance '-of six miles from the London- : . bit* terminus of the railway.

FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 14, SPORTING NOTES. No. BATH AND SOMERSET CCXXVI. COUNTY MEETING, &c. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sett,--Yesterday's sport at Newmarket, although very mediocre in quantity, was good in so far as one event was concerned, the 10 SOV3. Stakes, for two years old. My judgment for this race was exceedingly correct, as in ray remarks I observed that the 51b extra on Placid would eat as an effectual stopper on her chance; that that pet of Butler's and the public, Gossip, stood very low in my estimation; that the Libel filly would be any thing but forward in the race; and, finally, that Pelion, my solitary selection, would carry off the stakes in triumph, as he , did, in a commo n can t er, by a length. The race is described in a few words: Gossip cut out the work to nearly half way up the cords, where Pelion came up, headed him a few strides, made the rest of the running, and won, as before said, in a canter. Placid, with her slb extra, being quite.good enough to beat Gossip for second place; the latter was a moderate third, Libel filly fourtb, Dorian fifth, Molasses and the filly by Beiraen bringing up the rear; all behind the Libel filly were beaten off. Pelion is the beat two year 'old that has yet appeared this season, and in fact thl first that can be called a racer; he is the pioneer of as fine a set of youngsters, who have yet to matte their debut, as any year has been furnished with for a long time past. This year's two-year olds will be found ge nerally to be of a superior class; last year's, with one or two exceptions, were a very inferior lot. Those that have as yet shown this season, with the exception of Pelion, and perhaps Placid, are about the worst possibly that could he turned out. Epsom, Ascot, Newmarket July, and Goodwood meetings will introduce us to the cracks. Qa the heath yesterday, and again in town, the pub lic were treated to a few more fine flourishes on the Hobble Noble trumpet; 10 to 1 was offered early in the morning, 15 in the afternoon, and 20 in the evening was laid against this redoubtable son of Pantaloon and Phrync : all sorts of horses, from Alcoran down to the other jack-in-the-box Augur, were backed against him, for all sorts of sums from hundreds to thousands; and the finale to the ob!igato movement was a variety of even betting that he does not start. The Bath and Somerset meeting has, as usual, two days' very good sport, commencing with the Lansdowne Trial Stakes of 15 sous. each, 10 ft, with 50 added, over the mile course. This stake has nine subscribers, and may possibly attract the following to the post, namely, Bordeaux, Old Rowley, Pitsford or Lamartine, Kilmeny, and perhaps Fetus pas. It must naturally occur to any one versed in turf mysteries, that Day's horse,, which ever it may be, LAMARTINE or PITSFORD, will be the winner; and that Old Rowley will occupy the second place. I may as well observe that 'Jansenism will, in all probability, be the borae of the stable. The Biennial Stakes of 10 soya. each, with 50 added, for two years old colts Bst 71b. fillies and geldings Bst 41b, over the T.Y.C., which is about halt a mile in length, will, I imagine, be contested by the colt, by Mathematician, Oakleaf, Massone, Stella, Amazon, and, perhaps, one of Mr. Sadler's, Charon or Contentment. The race evidently lays between three:—MASSENA, STELLA, and AMAZON; one of the last two turning out the actual victor. The Somersetthire Stakes of 25 am each, 15 ft, and 5 only if declared, &c., two miles and a distance, will, it is expected, have the following list of competitors : Russborough, Abdallab, Exeter, Ephesus, Narcissus, , Madame Wharton, Becton, Darkness, Waterfall, Grand Duchess, Tom Pinch, and perhaps Ferret. Rustibo rough's weight, on this particular course, will entirely stop him. Abdallah'a chance is much better, at 7st Mb ; Exeter, however, is the dangerous horsr, as he is at present the favourite. Ephesus and Narcissus will run well ; Becton and Darkness the contrary. Madame Wharton, at 6st 81b, is a good looking spec on paper, as also is Waterfall, at sst 111 b. Grand Duchess will possibly have the rest of the light weights in safe keep tag. To sum up, I can di:lover nothing at present good enough to beat the favourite ; therefore, to Exeter I award the race, and expect to see Grand Duchess and Ferret well up. The principal stake of Wednesday this year would seem to be the Weston Stakes, run over the The entries include the names of Placid, Bst 41b; Na than, Bst 41b; Vaultress, Bst 41b; Massems, Bst 91b; Bountiful, Bst llb; the Dextrous dam filly, Bst 41b; and Psaltery, Bst 41b. Five of the above seven names belong to the dark division; and again, as yesterday in the 10 Says. Stakes, I shall look tor the winner among that lot, and expect to find in VLULTRESS or BOUNTIFUL the superior one. Nathan, notwithstanding his allow ance of 51b, I don't anticipate seeing in a better place than second. Psaltery, if she runs (query), will be well up. The other races I shall not touch upon till Monday. The betting this morning runs principally on the Derby, though it affects one or two of the stakes at Bath.

One of the most numerous crowds ever seen at the Paris races lined the vast arena of the Chump de Mars on Sunday to witness the fourth and last of the spring ms.htings. The stands, too, were filled to excess, and ladies, many of them of high rank, and all in most elegant toilettes, were in the majority. 'lle gathering within the ropes of dashing equipages, also chiefly occupied by ladies, and of horsemen, was like wise as great as on the most pslmy days of the Paris turf. The attendance of noblemen and gentlemen who take an interest in races, and esperidly of those con nected with the Jockey and other Clubs, was on the whole more numerous than usual. Tito weather was beautifully fins,_ and the day's business spirited. The Prince President of the Rspublio was not present, but a great m an y eminant official personages, and some ex-rnit isters, were on the ground.

The carriages as they arrive set down their noble and te9autiful occupants at an open corridor on the east side of the Palace, where a muddy mat is placed on the stones, which are otherwise wet and un covered. A fea , yards cf red baize and a wood en floor on the ply, mcnt of this corridor or entrance, with seats near the 'wall, would at once change its appearance and render it a useful accommodation. The servants of all the persons attending the Court are compelled meanwhile to stand in the yard of the Palace, whrever the weather may be, and without shelter, though they may be there for many hours. On catering the Palace there is no cloak room, nor any means of depositing any protection against the cold, which is the more necessary as the passages are open, and the draughts of air, to which ladies in full evening dress are exposed, most piercing. I say nothing of the apartments, except that it wculd be difficult to find anoth er palace in Europe so inconveniently arranged or so shabbily famished. I bad the honour of waiting for one hour this morning in a room adorned with blunder binises and pikes, which probably figured at the battle of the Boyne, relieved by painted wainscot ing, red flock paper, and dingy stuff curtains. It is, however, in the great apartment that the " tug of war" begins. The rush into the sluices reminds one of a mill-race, and it seldom happens that any one passes that arybdis without the loss of some por tion of his or het apparel, or of a still more valu able portion of good humour. This painful con test might be avoided by the simple expedient of prolonging the division, or banister up and down the whole room in zlgzsg, as is done at the theatres in Perla I venture to affirm that the entry of a crowd at the Patois Royal when Made moiselle Dejazet is about to appear in one of her popular characters is far more decorous than what I witnessed to-day in approaching the Majesty of Erglacd. On leaving the presence chamber and descending the stairs, the scene becomes even more painful. You pass from apartm en t s o f . suffocating heat to open passages without esc a p e f rom the bitterest cold. The narrow corridor is thronged, so that when carriages are an nounced it is impossible to reach them and women are literally compelled to stand fo r 111 this state with out a possibility o f relief. I saw themhours refuge in the mud c f t h e outer cored even taking or to escape the pressure I am sure, Sir, these circumstances are utterly un known to the illustrious Lady to w h om we were l . a l anxious to pay cur homage, and never more than on this day. They are also known in a less degree to those eminent persona who have the privilege of the entrée. But a little care and a small amount of preparation would obviate much of the evil. No thing of the kind occurs at her Majesty's State entertainments in Buckingham Palace, where the splendid hospitality of the Crown is sometimes extended to 2 000 persons, and where everything is conducted with the most perfect attention and order; and I venture to "nuke these remarks because I am persuaded the officers of her:Majesty's household must feel painfully af fected by the comparisons which are drawn between these tumultuous and fatiguing scenes and the public receptions in any other Cuurt in Europe. May 13. MILES. THE SEA-MEW INLAND REVENUE STEAMER. The advantages have been found so great and so economical when employing a steamer compared with sailing vessels, in the removal of the parties employed in the suppression of smuggling inland in Ireland, that an old vessel, the Warrior, was purchased for that ser vice. The Warrior is now so old that it has been deemed advisable to have a new steamer, which has just been completed, and mode her first trial trip down the river yesterday, to ascertain her speed and the working qualities of her engines, Mr. Wood, chair man of the Board of Inland Revenue; Mr. Anderson, ALP. (chairman), and Mr. Allen, directors of the Penin sular anti Oriental Steam Shipping Company; Mr. Lloyd, chief engineer of the Admiralty at Somerset- Houce; Mr. Lamb, chief engineer to the Peninsular and Oriental Company at Southampton; Mr. Water man, son.; Mr. Walermen,jun.; Mr. White, of Cowes; Mr. John Penn, of Greenwich; and a number of scientific gentlemen; were on board, to witness the trial. The Sca Mew was built of iron, by Messrs. Mare and Co , from a design by Mr. Waterman, jun., and she is 143 feet long, with 22 feet breadth of beam, and her draught of water is only eight feet. The engines by John Penn and Son, arc on their patent principle, direct acting, and collectively of 60-horse power, and similar in principle to the engines fitted by the same engineers on ti.: , .crd her Majesty's steam-frigates Arro gant' and EnconnVr, of 360-horse power each. The diameter of the tercw-prepelltr is 8 feet, with a pitch of 10 feet, and during the trial the number of revoln lions was 120 per minule, the engines working with the greatest smoothness, and without the least appear ance of heating, although it was their first trial. The average speed to-day on one run down and one up the measured mile in Long Reach, the up run against a strung brecz) and tide, was about 9 knots per hour, the result being satisfactory to all on board. The principal statien of the Sea Mew will be on the coast of Ireland, extending from Limerick to the Giant's Causeway, and by her aid a lieutenant will 14 men of an inland revenue party, or a greater number when required, may be moved a distance of 60 miles in one night, and prove a most efficient means of taking the smugglers by surrese, owing to the celerity of movement of the party from one point to another; and her small draught of water and steaming qualities will enable her to land the parties on board on the islands and other places which sailing vessels could not e to epproach for landing parties durin g bad weather. TO. THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—The last nv.il from the Cape brings most dis tressing cceounts of the barbarities practised by the Kafirs upon the unfatunate British prisoners, such as roasting them alive, cutting them up piecemeal ; and when one unfortunate man complained of hunger they cut slices of his body and gave them to him for food. These a•co the barbarians that the Exetc.T. hall people Wculd deal with.
