Mrs. Parker, the unfortunate landlady of the house, and also the servant maid, are both so much burned and other wise injured, that their death is hourly expected. The house, it appeared, had been recently licensed, and was just finished, but not opened for business. The family, however, bad taken up their abode there. On Thursday night, in consequence of a strong smell of gas being experience& Mrs. Parker entered the bar with a lighted candle, and having stood on a chair, she was about to examine the chandeliers to see whether the burners were properly turned off or not; - she bad, however, barely lifted the candle above her head when the exploslon occurred. 11101111 674 3,975 647 144 839 965 512 3,777 1,51 E 14,201 990 1,109 2,114 1,12 S 2,395 20,941 162 9,276 1A55 122 41,747 1,059 8,527 6,629 2,b71 b 32 21,198 1,051 2,25. 2,081 3,933 1,690 540 8.422 1,564 1,511 853 188 523 690 Essex 3,500 13,52 b 2,511 1,174 1,510 91,826 9,152 1,179 43,724 1,296 11,772 9,681 2,126 710 20,986 2,338 1.933 1,731 8,254 2,853 423 8,274 1,150 1,367 698 197 MAY 27, 1048, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM R A CES.—Feetuv. Looking at it with reference to the monster meeting on Wednesday, the attendance yesterday was moderate enough, but comparing it with all other Oak days, it was by f a r the most numerous we ever beheld. There was a good show of carriages on the course (amongst them one containing the " Swedish nightingale," Jenny Lind, who, it will be easily credited was an attraction scarcely inferior to the Oaks itself), and a very fair sprinkling of the aristocracy of both sexes in the stand. We look upon this to have been the natural consequence of the ease and quickness with which the journey is now ac complished from London-bridge, vast numbers of the mercantile classes being enabled to devote the whole of the morning to business, and to reach the Downs in ample time for the first race. The arrangements on this line, although very good on the whole, do not appear to have given entire satisfaction; there was a good deal of gruintAing at the raising of the fares considerably above ehe ordinary standard, and at its being compulsory on all to take first-class tickets, although the number of first class carriages was not sufficient for one-third of the passengers. This proceeding will, doubtless, help to swell the next dividend, but it had not the advantage of precedent in railway travelling, and to say the least of it, was irregular. The racing yesterday was the same in character and quantity as on Wednesday, and the principal event, it will be seen, had an advantage over the Derby in the numerical strength of the field; in other respects it was inferior; the animals were of a very moderate grade, and the nan3ber who were up at the fini s h p roves th a t eve n the winner ca nnot be looed upon as a flyer. The race was fixed for the same hour at which the Derby was run, and all the preliminaries were completed in time for its coining off accordingly; mares, however, are ticklish ani ma l s to d ea l w i th at this season, ft was not without some little trouble that they were marshalled into order fur starting. About eight minutes after the time, however, they were brought in line up to the post, and started in good styl e . Th e i ssue of the struggle at ensued was favourable t o Cy m b a , a mare trained by John t Day, jun., an addition to a numb er o f grand coups," amongst which will be found th e D er b ys of 1846 11%" 1 1847, and the Oaks of 1847; it is still more extra ordinarye that Templeman should have ridden the winners of Derby and Oaks, two years in succession. With this race the interest of a most successful meeting terminated. We may congratulate Mr. Dorling upon having so managed it, from first to last, as to give satis faction to all parties. The Oaks Stakes of 50 sous. each, h ft; for three yrs old fillies,Bst 71b each; the second to receive 100 sous. out of the stakes, and the winner to pay 100 sous. towards expenses. Mile and a half.

At starting, the lead was taken by Hope, followed by Lola Montez, lodine, and Do-it-again, with Tisiphone, Queen of the May, Cymba, Wiasma, and ;two or three others in their wake, and behind them Attraction and the ruck. At the Craven Post, Do-it.again took the third place, but no other change of moment was ob servable until they came to the turn; the lead was then taken by Camphine, followed by Do-it-again and lodine, Cymba, Wiasma, Miss Orbell, the Miss Lydia filly, and one or two others, whose colours we eould not make out, ly big very forward. After crossing the road, Queen of the May took up the running, Camphine and Cymba waiting on tier, with Attraction, Wiasma, lodine, and half a dozen others, close at hand. So they reached the end of the stand, where a decisive change took place. Cymba went up to Queen of the May, headed her, and although Attraction came immediately after, made the race look doubtful for a moment, she won cleverly in the end by a length, Attraction beating Queen of the May by half a length. Wiasma, Camphine, lodine, Miss Lydia filly, and three or four others, were close up at the finish, and so nearly abreast that we cannot under take to speak with any certainty as to their relative po sitions, we fancied Wiasma had a shade the best of it.

That the New Course is a great boon to the specula tors does not admit of a question; and even trainers and jockeys are disposed to allow that they had formed an erroneous estimate of its severity. To remove anything in the shape of doubt on the subject, we subjoin the gradients, or rate of inclination, on the new course, from the starting post to its junction with the old course, on comparing which with the gradients of the latter, which are also given, it will be found that the new course is the easier of the two:— THE NEW COURSE. In the first 100 yards it rises 1 foot in 18. In the next 120 yards it rises 1 foot in 16. In the next 130 yards it rises 1 foot in 17. In the next 160 yards it rises 1 foot in 18. In the next 215 yards it rises 1 foot in 40. In the next 155 yards and in junction with it rises 1 foot in 25. old course 880 Total-1 foot in 134 THE OLD DERBY COURSE. In the first 180 yards it rises 1 foot in 20. In the next 320 yards it rises 1 foot in 24. In the next 170 yards it rises 1 foot in 35. In the next 210 yards or junction with the it rises 1 foot in 17. new course 880 Total-1 foot in 96. The above has been taken from the elaborate plan and sections of Epsom Downs, lately made by Mr. Clostt, the eminent railway surveyor, of Great Queen -street, Westminster, who was employed by Mr. Dorling for that purpose. The result of the average taken between the old and new course is this—the rate of inclination of the new one is 1 in 134, of the old one 1 in 96 ; the trifling difference being in favour of the new c o urse , whichis less severe. The new course was set out b y Lord George Bentinck in person, in the s ummer of 1846; his Lordship having obtained permission from Mr . Briscoe, the Lord of the Manor, who though no t a raw- . ing man h im self, has always manifested hi s d es i re that the suggestion of the steward should be act e d upon , and that every facility should be given for the good manage ment of Epsom races, the whole of the w or k was carried o ut by Mr. Dorling himself, who at the express desire of Lord George Bentinek, engaged a large number of unem ployed agricultural labourers of Epsom, anal adjoining parish of Walton , for two winters, in constructing the course, the amount of money expended i s li t tl e s h ort of 1,000/., which , considering the substantial nature of the work, is but a small sum . , Captain Halliwell C arew , t h e lord of the ma nor of altos, also gave hi s sanct i on to th e course going throug h . his manor. We hear th a t grea ter improvements are In contemplation, and that it Is Lord George's intention to apply to Lord Egremont, whose estate adjoins Epsom {Downs, for permission to improve the turn at Tattenham .Corner, by taki ng a small piece from a field there, which would make the course perfection itself. Long may Epsom continue under its present able manager, whose arrangements are, without exception, admirable. We should advise in future that no booths should be placed on the hill or lower side of the course, nor that Wombwell's menagerie should be stuck in front of the grand stand, for the apparent purpose of annoying half the nobility of the count r y b y intercepting the view of the startin place. A wall from Mr. Briscoe, the lord of the manor, or the stewards, would easily prevent this vexatious annoyance in future. We are glad to hear that .Mr. Wombwell did all in his power to remove? the obstruction on the matter being represented to him. ibtrZi '~3bittton ELECTION COMMITTEES. (rins I)AY.) LEICESTER. Thomas Tebbut, an elector of the borough, proved that he was employed as a clerk to one of %Valmsley and Gardner's Committees, and ho heard a conversation re lative to a publican named James Taylor, who refused to vote unless his bill of the last election was paid ; and afterwards, on the following morning, instructions were given in his presence to twenty-Five men to go into the streets and pick up any voters whom they could find, H hom they were to take to various public-houses ; and having treated them liberally, they were to induce them to vote fur the sitting Members. John Taylor, a publican in Leicester, and a voter, proved that he got a Tiantity of malt from a maltster, named Ellis, who was on Sir Joshua Walmsley's com mittee, in satisfaction of a bill due at the former election. It was upon the understs.nding thzt he should plump for Sir Joshua. John Watzay received 21. 10s. on the same terms. William Bennett, another publican, received 31. 10s., 265. its cash, and a note of hand for the balance. A number of other voters were then called to prove that they received various small sums of money, vary ing from 1/. to 21, as a consideration for voting for the sitting Member. The money was paid at the Reformer newspaper office in Leicester. The Committee adjourned at the usual hour till eleven o'clock on Monday. CHELTENHAM. The case for the petitioner was opened by Mr. Ser geant KINGLAKE, R ho stated that the allegation against Sir Willoughby Jones was that he obtained his return by resorting to gross bribery and corruption, while his agents carried on a system of treating to a most extrava gant extent, no less than sixty public-houses having been thrown open to the electors during the election. The bribery cons i ste d o f engag i ng a g reat number of voters as committeeme n , messengers, and Wig carriers, at s s. a day- while in other instances the electors were paid large sums of money down upon the nail upon their engaging to go forth w ith an d poll for Sir Willoughby Jones. A number of Liberal voters were called in the course of the day, who proved that upon an offer being made to them by an agent of the sitting Member to put their names down on a list of the employed for ten days, at a day, they consented to ♦ote for the Tory side, but after the election good faith was not kept with them, as they were only paid forhalf the specified number of days. The Committee rose at two o'clock, to enable the Members to attend the Drawing-room. DUBLIN.— The Dublin Election Committee met pro f orma this morning, and adj ourne d till eleven on Monday. ..—....—____ FREE LABOUR IN THE BRITISH COLONIES.—(THIS DAY.) A very numerous public meeting was held this' day, at the London Tavern, in pursuance of an advertisement largely signed by some of the most influential men in the City, calling together all persons who were desirous of upholding the system of tree labour in the British Colonies, and of preventing the country from becoming dependent for its supply of sugar and coffee upon the extension of cultivation by means of slavery and the - slave trade. Tflossas•BAßlNG, Esq., was unanimously elected to take the chair, and stated that he had received letters from Mr. Lushington, Mr. J. Pattison, and Mr. A. Hastie, of apology for their non-attendance at the meeting. The commercial community of London, he observed, were not often in the habit of meeting for political discussion, and were ever dilatory in agitating public questions of importance, but it became their duty to express an opinion on those occasions when the prosperity of a portion of her Majesty's dominions, and the means of existence of a vast number of her subjects were threatened with annihilation. It was impossible for the most cursory observer of events not to see that at the present moment the inter ests of our colonial possessions were in the most cri tical danger. Not only had the value of property been depreciated, but the progress of civilization had been re tarded, and that social system to which they looked forward fer a gradual advancement in the well-being and morals of the people, had been disturbed. Such being the state of the colonies, if some protection was not afforded to them, they might not only soon become valueless, but expensive appendages to the mother colo nies. The question was not whether there should be a charge of a penny a pround upoa sugar, whether millions upon millions of money should be expended upon the colonies, which we ourselves had received. If we gra dually destroyed a colonial produce with which this country was now mainly supplied, was it not evident that eventually it would have the effect of enhancing the price of that produce? And, independently of that, if free labour in the colo nies was swept away, the produce which they now sup plied us with would come from foreign countries, eho must consequently have an increase of labour,N., and that increase would be the means of extending the slave trade, which it had always been the deaire of this country to suppress. That was not a party meeting; in fact, he hardly knew where parties n l w were, aid their only object was to prevent the colonies from anni hilation and the policy of the Government from contempt. This he would say, that if any interest had been vic timised by party feeling and party squabbles for power and place, it was that of the colonies.—(Cheers.) Tne times were now too important fur them to einbarrasr, the Government, bat it was their bounden duty to check such au extreme stretch of the free-trade doctrine as was calculated to effect so much injury. lie thought that the majority of free traders themselves would. under the extraordinary difficulties in which the colo nies were placed, consent to some measure of relief being conceded to them. The lion. Gentleman was loudly cheered in the course of his address, and concluded by calling upon Mr. SAMUEL GURNEY, who said that he had to pro pose a resolution, which was most satisfactory to his own mind, and which he was sure would receive the ap proval of the meeting. It was to the following effect.-- " That this meeting, consisting of merchants, bankers, and others, of the city of London—assembled without regard to the political views or private interests of any class of her Majesty's subjects—is of opinion, that, while it is an object of great importance to the people of this country to obtain an abundant and cheap supply of sugar and coffee, it is no less desirable to combine with that object the maintenance of the system 01 free labour, which has been established at so great a sacrifice in the British Colonial Possessions." If ILn unrestrained admission of slave•grown sugar was allowed they would find that a great decrease would take place in the supply from our own colonies, and that the greater proportion of sugar imported into this • . . country comes from Brazil and Cuba. He was a free trader in principle, but cases occurred where there ought to be exceptions to that principle, and he thought no exception could be so well based, and so meet the opinions of the people of this country, as that based upon a desire to prevent the greatest crimes, the greate.t miseries, and the greatest destruction of human life which anything could possibly produce.—(Cheers.) The motion was carried unanimously. The following resolutions were subsequently passed with great unanimity:— Proposed by WILLIAM COTTON, Esq., and seconded by TnemAs WlLsore, Esq.:— " That it appears from the evidence taken before the Select Committee on Sugar and Coffee Planting ap pointed by the House of Commons iu February last, and from the published dispatches of the Governors of her Majesty's Tropical Possessions, that the competition consequent upon the Act of 1846 between the forced and unrequited labour of slaves in Cuba and Brazil and the paid labour of our emancipated negroes, has already brought the British Colonies, which bad been previously struggling with the difficulties of their new position, to the brink of ruin, and endangered the existence of those civil and religious institutions on which the future wel fare and progress of their inhabitants depend." Proposed by CHARLES MILLS, Esq., and seconded by JAMES 0. IlAusox, E,A . , " That the inhuman traffic in slaves, which in the years 1844 and 1845 had been more effectually checked than at any antecedent period, has—accerding to the evidence hergiven before t h e C om mittee by Lord Pal merston,Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs—actually doubled in amount during the last two years." Proposed by Joust G. HOARE, E q , and seconded by HENRY S. TmostuTos, &.q.:— " That to stimulate, on the one hand, the demand for slaves in Cuba and Brazil by enhancing the value of the products of their labour, and on the oth , r hand to make a show of checking the supply of slaves from Africa to those countries by armed intervention, is an inconsis tency which impugns either the honesty or the common sense of the people of this country, and renders their Policy a matter of suspicion to f'oreign powers." Propos e d by WILLIAM Tnomrsost, Esq., Alderman, and seconded by A. W. BOBA.RTS, Esq., " That unless the Sugar Duties Act of 1846 be promptly and materially altered, it is manifest that the production of the British possessions will greatly decline —that we shall speedily become dependent for our sup plies of sugar upon slave.trading countries, and that the consumer must pay an increased price, at least until additional slaves can ba transported from Africa to ex tend cultivation in Cuba and Brazil." Proposed by R. D. MANGLES. Esq., M.P., and conded by H. S urrou, E sq.: — " That the interests and the honour of the British empire are alike concerned in averting the destruction of the eagricultu re an d tra d e o f the colonies, and in se curing the full success of the great experiment of eman cipation —the failure of Is hick would indefinitely post pone the abolition of :laver) throughout the world." Proposed by Sir ;E. N. BUXTON, Bart., and seconded by C. BARCLAY, " That this iLeeting, while it would most strongly deprecate any system of immigration which might lead to a renewal of the African slaw-trade, b y s Payment in money cr otherwise for a supply of labourers from that continent; and; while it would be opposed to any enactment in the colonies which may be incompatible with freedom and the Act of Emancipation, • 3 .`! nevertheless of opinion, that in order to enable the British colonies to compete successfully with slave-trading countries, it is highly desirable that her Majesty's Government should give prompt encouragement to the introduction of suitable free labour under yrciper supervision-4bat S I just relations should be maintained bet ween employer I ' -- - t- I and labourer, to secure to both the benefits of freedom. i s ,e\-,. ! and ioduvry, and that every local improvement which ‘t.: -. 4 - ,'.,PF' - -'--- - - ‘7 can tend to reduce the cost of production, should be pro- n'f:::/ ' j ';'-'i'''%-.,;' rooted by generous assistance on the part of the mother dt-f.tvt(e-4.0 , .I'-', - ' ' -,.- country.

A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman. and the meeting separated. METROPOLITAN COURT OF SEWERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sut,—Under this head it is reported in the Times paper of this day, that Mr. Chadwick, referring to the survey of the metropolis by the Ordnance, stated yew tvrdsy, " that an Association of Surveyors had offered to undertake the work on terms apparently lower than those or the Ordnance, but the work proposed proved not to be so complete, nor were the securities for com pleting it deemed sufficient." We beg to contradict this statement as totally iIuCCEI - we undertook to complete the work within six months' to the full extent as described in the estimate o( the Ordnance (of which the Commissioners furnished 't a copy) for the final sum of 18,2001., their estimate is the nominal sum of 19,9451., and does not include their military pay, no time is fixed for its completion, and as the Ordnance estimates, have hitherto amounted to only one-third of the actual cost incurred, we say positively, we should save very many thousands of pounds to the public; as to securities, we offered any amoent that th e y might require, besides stating that we required no money except upon delivery of the work and its approval. The prominent reason stated for the rejection of our proposal was, " that we had not the power of entry upon private lands without consen!, whereas the Ord- 'lance Department had that power;" the opinion of the Attorney-General, Solicitor-General, and Mr. Peacock, read to the Commissioners yesterday, distinctly states that the Ordnance officers have no more power to enter lands without consent than ourselves; we therefore re quest your kind insertion of this reply, in justice to our association and in support of our claim to be engaged on this work. By direction of the Committee of the Surveyors' Association, - E. CHADWICK, Secretary. 68, Chancery-lane, May 26, 1848. A WOMAN SHOT BY A SOLDIER AT NEWPORT BARRACKS. A startling event has just taken place at our barracks, which has produced the greatest excitement asnongst the officers and soldiers, aud, indeed, the inhabitants of the town generally. A fine young man, twenty-two years of age, one of the best conducted and most cleanly soldiers in he 14th Regiment, had been living in con cubinage with a young woman named Agnes Hill, about twenty-eight years of age, a native of Dartmouth, in Devonshire, for about twelve months. Kelly, the name of the soldier, having been out from barracks last night (as it is stated) drinaing with the woman, he was this morning confined, and previously to his liberation the unfortunate woman sent to him for some money, and he let her have halt-a-crown, with which she went to the Canteen with two soldiers, whom she freely treated. On Kelly leaving the guard-room, he proceeded to where she was, and called her—went to his room, and loaded his gun, and in the barrack-yard deliberately levelled at the lower part of her person, shooting her through tha body, ,near the groin. A soldier named Dogherty was h e b d o woman s tanding lilii by th e s id e o f the woman, and in order to avo id him, Kelly m o ti one d hi m to stan d as id e . Th n ! virete pr o o o n o o d u e n d eed th b o y balla medica lhavin g gentleman to mortallyis wounded passed passed th roug h her body. The ' aoj,t;nt of the regiment gave information of the event to Mr. English, the chief of police, who lost not a moment in proc ee di ng to t h e baracks and arrest i ng Kell which he found was reeenii. taking from him the g un , ing that o ne a t h e b c yges d ischarg e d , and ascertain allartridpouch. was missing f rom hi s We never saw a man under so grave a charge mani fest less excitement or agitation.

The road from th e b arracks to the sta t i on, i to suffer on, along which Mr. English con ve y e d t h e prisoner, wa scrowded with anxious spectators, p art i cu l ar l y of the femuie who in loud denounciati ons vente d t h e i r feelings against Kelly. He is a native of the county Galway, as we be fore said; very well looking, there being a total absence of any expression indicative of the possession of violent or vindictive passions. He has been in the Irish consta bulary force, stationed in the county Leitrim. The prisoner will be brought for examination before the county magistrates to-morrow. Dr. Young, of this town, was soon in attendance to assist the regimental surgeon.—Monmouthshire Merlin. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY. BAN I'iRUPTS.
