THE QUEEN V. ST. MARY NEWINGTON. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE gave the judgment of the Court in this case. It was an application for a writ of mandamus calling upon the churchwardens and other local authorities to show cause why they should not summon a vestry for the election of twelve governors of the poor, the previous election having been declared in formal, inasmuch as it was effected by a show of hands instead of poll.—Rule made absolute. INSPECTION of the HOUSEHOLD TROOPS—(THIS DAY.) This day being appointed for the celebration of her Majesty's birthday, the annual military inspection of the household troops took place on the parade in front of the Horse Guards, in St. James's-park. Shortly after nine o'clock the whole of the disposable force of the five battalions of Foot Guards quartered in the metropolis arrived, and the ground to be occupied having been pre viously marked out by the Brigade Major and the Adj u tants of the several battalions, the troops took up their position as follows :—The Ist and 3d battalions of the Grenadiers, flanked by the troops appointed for duty at Buckingham and St. James's Palaces, on the right ; the Ist battalion of Coldstream Guards occupied the centre, and the Ist and 2d battalions of the Scots Fusilier Guards on the left ; the guard of honour consisting of a squadron of the 2d Regiment of Life Guards, and the bands of the battalions present were posted on the ex treme right, the troops wearing their new clothing, and forming three sides of a square. The view from the Horse Guards was most brilliant. The ground was kept by 450 men, ninety having been furnished by each battalion for the purpose. The number of rank and file present amounted to nearly 1,400, under the im mediate command of Colonel Berkeley Drummond, of the Coldstream Guards. Shortly after ten o'clock his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Dukes of Cambridge and Wellington, Marquis of Anglesey, and the Marquis of Londonderry, accompanied by a numerous and brilliant staff, arrived, and were received by the troops present ing arms, the bands playing the National Anthem. The troops having formed into double open order, were mi nutely inspected by the general officer, when the line formed divisions by the right, and marched past in slow and quick time. The line having been again formed, and some minor evolutions gone through, another gene ral salute was given, when the illustrious party and general officers left the ground, and the troops were marched to their respective quarters. BRIGHTON AND SOUTH COAST RALWAY.-(THIS DAY.) The adjourned meeting of this company - was held this day, at twelve o'clock, at the London Tavern, for the purpose of declaring the poll, and the transaction of other business. The CHAIRMAN declared the state of the poll to be as follows:—In favour of the company subscribing a portion of its capital to the maintenance of steam-boats, present 641, proxies 1,009; capital represented 1,673,6691. For the amendment, against any such devotion of the capital, present 167, proxies 60; capital represented 420,4491. He therefore declared that the original pro position was carried. The majority of stock in favour of the directors' proposition thus represented was 1,253,320/. The drafts of the following Bills, after much discus sion, and some little opposition, were agreed to:— " A Bill for extending some of the periods limited by the Acts relating to the London-bridge Station; for making an alteration in the New Cross Station; for en abling the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company to subscribe to the maintenance of steam boats; and for amending and enlarging the powers and provisions of the several Acts relating to such com " pany. " A Bill to amend and enlarge the powers of the Acts relating to the Direct London and Portsmouth Railway Company, and to enable such company to effect certain arrangements with the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company." A special meeting was held at two o'clock, at which the conversion of a portion of the mortgage debt of the company into capital, to the extent of 461,8551., being the tenth part of the share capital of the company, was agreed to. The meeting then seperated.

THE EXPLOSION AT THE CRANBOURNE TAVERN. —The explosion which occurred at the Cranbourne Tavern, Great Newport-street, Soho, briefly noticed in this journal of yesterday, was attended with far more disastrous consequences than was at first expected. Mrs. Parker, the unfortunate landlady of the house, and also the servant maid, are both so much burned and 'Alter 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, had taken up their abode there. On Thursday night, in consequence of a strong smell of gas being experienced, Mrs. Parker entered the bar with a lighted candlo, and having stood on a chair, she was about to ex amine the chandeliers to see whether the burners were properly turned off or not; she had, however, barely lifted the candle above her head when the explosion occurred.

EPSOM RACES.—FRIDAY. 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 far 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 grumbling at the raising of the fares considerably above the ordinary standard, and at its being compulsory on all to t a k e first-class tickets, although the number of first-class carriages was not sufficient for one-third of the passengers. This proceedin will, doubtless, help to swell the n ex t di v i dend, 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 number who were up at the finish proves that even the winner cannot be looked 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 coming off accordingly ; mares, however, are ticklish an i mals to deal with a thist season, and it was not without some little trouble that they were marshalled into order for starting. About eight minutes after the time, however, they were brought in line up to the post, and started in good style. The issue of the struggle that ensued was favo ura bl e to Cymba, a mare trainedl3y John Day, jun., an addition to a number of grand " p ' amongst which will b e f ound the Derbvs of 1846 and 1847, and the Oaks of 1847 • it is still more extraordinary 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 fi rs t to l ast, as to give satis faction to all parties. The Oaks Stakes of 50 sovs. each, h ft; for three yrs old fillies, Bst 71b each; the second to receive 100 sovs. out of the stakes, and the winner to pay 100 sovs. towards expenses. Mile and a half.

At starting, the lead was taken by Hope, followed by Lola tlontez, 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 Dc-it-again and lodine, Cymba, Wiasma, Miss Orbell, the Miss Lydia filly, and one or two others, whose colours we eould not make out, lying very forward. After crossing the road, Queen of the May took up the running, Camphine and Cymba waiting on her, 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 b© 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 rise s 1 f oot i n 25. oldcourse ....... . .. 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. Cloatt, 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 course, which is less severe. The new course was set oat by Lord George Bentinck in person, in the summer of 1846; his Lordship having obtained permission fr om M r. Briscoe, the Lord of the Manor, who though not a rac ing man himself, has always manifested his desire that the suggestion of the steward should be acted upon, and that every facility should be given for the good manage ment of Epsom races, the whole of the work was carried out by Mr. Dorling himself, who at the express desire of Lord George Bentinck, engaged a large number of unem ployed agricultural labourers of Epsom, and adjoining parish of Walton, for two winters, in constructing the course, the amount of money expended is little short of 1,000/., which, considering the substantial nature of the work, is but a small sum. Captain Halliwell Carew, the lord of the manor of Walton, also gave his sanction to the course going through his manor. We hear that greater improvements are in contemplation, and that it is Lord George's intention to apply to Lord Egremont, whose estate adjoins Epsom illowns, for permission to improve the turn at Tattenham Corner, by taking 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 country by intercepting the view of the starting place. A. word 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. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY. DOWNING-STREET, MAY 24, 1848.

Parsons in the chair, A special general meeting of this company was held for the purp ose o f reques ting the sanction of the proprietors yester to two Bills now beiore Parliament, for making an alter ation in the New Cross station, and for enabling the com pany to subscribe a portion of its capital to the extent of 75 ,0001., and the other for the purpose of enabling the company to make arrangements with the Direct London and Portsmouth Railway Company. Peel's There The was a most numerous attendance of shareholders. no fewer than 22 CIRN said since the last meeting the Bills had the unanimous approbation iordiet.gone considerable alterations. When they were before Committee steamboat th r d e otherof the day, cona th mi e t y te w e, er an e o d p ßh p . e le t h ed omp lE t Com mons that evening, and he trusted that they companies, but the they would pass the third present. The Chairman then went t i reading in the House of Com the proprietors the great value.' wonutoldabewtooutlhde unanimous approbation of a ' • majority of the proprietors then statement r m e e to olivvsesehtohtowe have steamers of their own plying between this country and France. The draft of the first Bill was then read to the meeting, aid its adoption move d and seconded, upon which Mr. WISHAW moved, that all that portion:of the preamble of the Bill which related to the construction of steamboats by the company should ibe expunged. He said the com mittee of shareholders which had been appointed to inquire into the af f airs of the company, and of which he was a member, had, after ample deliberation, come to,the conclusion that the connexion of steam-beats with the company would in no way be a profitable transaction, and he trasted that the proprietors would show by their votes that they were determined not to sanction any outlay upon such a specula tion. It was now full time for them to put a stop to the extravagant system of expenditure which the directors had proceeded upon, and which had so sadly reduced their divi. dends.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Alderman WiLsoN seconded the motion, observing that when he became a shareholder in the company he had not the slightest idea of its being engaged in a steam-boat speculation. If the extravagant and wasteful system of ex penditure was allowed to go on without some check on the part of the proprietors, he could assure them that they would soon have no dividend at all.—(Cheers.) Mr. Davis also supported the tnction. He wished to know why they had not been called together before the Bill was introduced into Parliament, and wny the directors had incurred the law and other necessary expenses in proceeding with the Bill, before it had received the sanction of the shareholders ?—(Cheers.) Within the last five years the enormous sum of 215,0001. 1.4 1,40. spout by the company in law expenses, and now the directors were tin. necessarily adding to that sum.—(Cheers.) They had acted moat unfairly towards the proprietors in calling them toga. , ther at the eleventh hour to consider the Bill, when it was too late for those who dissented from it to take any effective steps to oppose it in the House of Commons. By doing so they had effectually shut out the opposition of the proprietors in that quarter, but he hoped they would carry their opposi tion to the House of Lords.—(Cheers.) A petition was lay ing for signature at his office in:Frederick's-place, Old Jewry, which he intended to present to the House of Lords, and not withstanding the underhand manner in which they had been prevented going to the House of Commons, hestill hoped they would be able to prevent the serious outlay of 75,0001. in a scheme which he was sure would turn out to be a great loss to them, and ultimately, he hoped, they would, by dif ferent management, bring the affairs of the company into such a state, that the proprietors might stand a better chance of getting a good dividend.—(Cheers.) They ought all to oppose the proposed steam-boat project, and also the ar rangement with the Direct London and Portsmouth Com pany.— (Hear.) Several other proprietors then addressed the meeting, the majority of whom denounced the proposed steam• boat pro ject amidst much noise and interruption, and ultimately the uproar, accompanied by calls of " Divide," became so great that many who attempted to speak were obliged to desist, and The Cilenutgle then rose and replied to the various state ments of the speakers, amidst much impatience, and con cluded by putting the motion and the amendment. ... For the motion of Mr. Wishaw, which was put first, an immense number of hands were held up. The original motion had not more than a dozen supporters in the body of the meeting. A poll was then demanded, and two scrutineers having been appointed on each side, the ballot was immediately proceeded with, which was likely to occupy several hours. The state of the poll will be announced at the meeting to-day. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) COWES, MIT 26, 1848. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.
