REVISION OF VOTERS. CITY OF LONDON. Yesterday, Francis Bailey, Esq., Barrister-at-law, held a Court at Guildhall fur the revision of the list of voters in the election of Members to serve in Parliament for the City of London. he lists were taken alphabetically, the Apothe-. caries' Company being taken first, in the revision of which no case of interest occurred. Mr. Quin. the Secretary to the Conservative Associa tion, and Mr. Trot, Secretary to the Liberal Association, conducted the opposition and defence to the several claims. The name of James Hill appearing on the list of voters for the parish of St. Aims, Mr. Quin objected to its being retained, inasmuch as he was described as• of James's-place, Cambridge road, there being no such place in e.cistence. Thomas Peake, one of the Agents employed by the Conservative Association as canvassers, proved that he knew the neighbourhood well, and the , -e was no such street: - The case was ordered to stand over to one o'clock to-morrow. Oa the list of the Bakers' Company coming under re vision, Mr. Quin opposed the retention of the name of Chris topher Brockspoint, described as residing in Hampton street,'he bein! , unknown there, and a letter addressed to him through the post returned with a similar intima tion marked on it. The Association had at their own expense addressed numerous letters to the liverymen, whose residences as described in the list were suspected to be erroneous, and' in _the Bakers' Company alone no less than five of these letters had been returned with the word unknown marked on them. He thought the clerks or the beadles of the different companies ought to be more circumspect with regard to the addresses appended to the different names in the lists, as the cri minal proceedings arising out of false personation of voters at the last City election, now pending at the suit of the Court of Aldermen were in a great measure the fruit of this looseness in the addresses. The R-vising Barrister reserved his decision until one o'clock to•morrow. James Brown, of Cooper's-row, Tower-hill, was next opposed by Mr. Quin, on the ground, likewise, of a false description, as the house, which he was described as occupying there was taken down for the purpose of cer tain railway improvements. The law enacted that a liveryman or burgess should reside within seven, miles of the city or borough ; but this was not the ground of his objection at all. His objection was, that as the voter did not reside on the premises described in the list his name should be expunged. The Revising Barrister--=-On what authority ? Mr. Quin—The authority is on the face of the list. This Court is only to revise the list„ not tdmake additions to it—it was only empowered to correct clerical errors ; but direct and palpable mis-statements were quite diffe rentmatteri. This claim was likewise ordered to stand over until to morrow. Mr. Quin objected to the retention of the name of William Webster, on the ground of his not being en titled to vote in last July, because he held the Post-office in the neighbourhood and the law prohibited any person holding such office within twelve calendar months of the time of their resignation. Mr. Webster zaid he did not vote in July last, as he was well aware that if he had done so he would have been subject to a penalty of 1001., having resigned the post-office only on the previous 10th of December. The Revising Barrister—lf you could not vote in July I am bound to expunge your name from the list. Mr. Webster—l shall vote, on my own responsibility, after the 10th of next December, if opportunity offers. Mr. Trot—But your name is now expunged. Mr. Webster—l don't care, I shall tender my vote at least.—(Laughter.) Thomas Clarke, &scribed as of Norton-street, Port land-place, Marylebone, was objected to by Mr. Quin, on grounds similar to those in the preceding case, change - of residence. Mr. Clarke said he had removed only three doors from the house described in the lists,. and he hoped he should not be disfranchised under such circumstances; the more so, as he had given notice of his removal to the clerk of the Company. Mr. Quin said he did not think the Court would take upon itself the power to alter those lists. They were to be considered perfect before they came here ; and, as he had before stated, it had only to correct clerical errors. The Court would feel that it was not to make any alte rations it liked.—Ordered to stand over till to-morrow. On the name of George Dawes, Blackfriars'-road, being read, Mr. Quin called Jones, one of the Conserva tive agents, who stated that he called at a baker's shop in Blackfriars'-road, and was there informed that the former proprietor's name was George Dawes, but that he died about four months ago. Mr. Trot—Who told you so ? Jones—A person who stated herself to be his widow. Mr. Trot—Do you know the number of the House ? Jones—No. Mr. Trot said in srch• a very long street as Black friars'-road, there might be more than one of the name. Mr. Quin—Then he should describe himself properly. He thought the proof adduced before the Court was suf ficient to cause the name to be struck off. There was no number mentioned in the list, and it had been found that George Dawes, baker, formerly residing in the Blaekfriars'-road was dead. The Revising Barrister agreed in the view taken by Mr. Quin, and accordingly expunged the name. Mr. Quin applied to have the name of Edward William Rainbow, described as residing in Essex-row, Islington, struck off the list, no such place being known there. Last year the Conservative Association forwarded a letter, directed as above, which was returned, and the same happened this year. The Revising Barrister said he supposed Mr. Quin was aware that service by post was not valid. Mr. Quin said he was aware of the fact, but he had other proofs to offer. One of the Conservative agents being sworn, said, he could find no such place as Essex-row in Islington, al though he applied at the Post-office, the station-house, and to the vestry-clerk. The Beadle of the Guild said the agents must be very much mistaken, as he (the beadle) had been at Rain bow's, in Sussex-row, about two years ago. The Revising Barrister said, Mr. Rainbow might per haps appear personally before one o'clock to-morrow, to which time he should adjourn the case. A number of other cases were brought before Mr. Bailey, which all hinged upon the same point—inaccu racy in the description of the Liverymen's places of abode, and were adjourned. The Court meets again at ten o'clock to-morrow (this day), when it is expected the decision with respect to the principle involved in cases revised yesterday will be pronounced. EXTRAORDINARY CAPTURE.-On Tuesday last, while a gentleman from Edinburgh was engaged angling for trout on the Tay, in the neighbourhood of Dunlield, a very beautiful grilse of seven pounds weight sprung at the end fly, which though he missed, he was nevertheless struck, and firmly fixed by the tail. Imme diately afterwards, a splendid leap of several feet out of the water followed, and a tremendous rushing out of the line. The awkward position of the hook gave the fish full scope for his agility and power, and rendered the play both extremely arduous and protracted. In the interim, a fine trout came up and seized the middle fly, and, consequently, the difficulty of management was greatly increased. Nor was this all ; for, in order to complete the extraordinary capture, a parr sprung at the remaining bob fly, and the angler had thus fixed at his tackle, at one and the same time, in beautiful gradation, a salmon, trout, and parr, the management of which re quired no little dexterity and art. However, after a very toilsome and protracted working, and by dint of great care and tact on the part of the angler, the whole three were safely and securely landed on the green and grassy banks of the river.

A general meeting- of the Members of the Metropolitan Anti-Corn-law Assotiation took place yesterday at the rooms of the As ociation, 448, Strand, for the purpose of considering- the propzietyla an address to the Qteen, praying her - I‘lajt . •:y n,)t• to prorogue the Parliament until U had tak en i nto consideration' the Cora and Pr' vision -laws, with a view to Oar total and immediate repeal. At three o'cloAl the Chair was taken by Mr. PrAcr., who stated that the meeting had been called at a very short notice. The Secretary would read to them an ad dress, which had been proposal to the Queen, and a se ries of resolutions., which would be afterwards snored and seconded seriatirz. Mr. SYDNFX Surrii, the Seer:A:lrv, then read the re solutions, as follow, with a copy of thc address founded thereon. 1. That this meeting has watched with great alarm and anxiety the accounts from the thanufacturing and other districts, which eXhlJit ranid increase of commercial distress,- want of employment, and all the evils conse quent thereon, aggravated by a very high price, of food. 2. That in consequence of the apprehended deficiency of the present harvest, the country is already threatened with a derangement of its currency and monetary affairs, from the necessity of importing corn under the ruinous prices of the present law. 3. Tn.:3 this meetingis apprehensive that great danger will arise should the consideration of the Corn-laws, re commmendcd by the Queen to both Houses of Parlia- • ment, be postponed ; and it therefore feels it to be\ an imperative duty to petition her Majesty not to prorogue Parliarnotit until it shall have given full effect to her Ma jesty's gracious recommendation, and that for this pur pose the following petition he adopted : TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MA- FOR LIFE.

Association," - Humbly showeth—•That your Majesty's people are suf fering from a long and protracted state- of commercial and financial embarrassment, unprecedented in extent and duration. That consequent thereon the great masses of your Majesty's most industrious people are exposed to distress and suffering front a want of employment, aggravated by dearth and high prices of food, in a man ner unknown in modern times ; and, which your Ma jesty's memorialists deeply lament, are producing a frightful increase of disaffection, crime, pauperism, dis ease, and untimely death, amongst this important por tion of your Majesty's people. That it has long been the opinion of a large and en lightened portion of your Majesty's subjects that the em barrassment and distiess are to be attributed to the ef fect of these laws, which restrict the supply of food, which prohibit a free exchange of the industry of the people of this country with that of others, and which impose indirect taxes, pressing severely on the commu nity, for the purpose- of protecting particular interests without reference to the public revenue. That it was in vain that your Majesty's . people ap proached the late House of Commons by petitions signed by upwards of a million and a half of your Majesty's people, a number unprecedented on any other occasion, earnestly praying for an inquiry into the effects and ope ration of these laws with a view to their alteration or repeal. _ _ _ That your Majesty's people hare been severely disap pointed at the determined refusal of the late House of Commons to attend to the prayer of these petitions ; but they have derived great consolation from the marked anxiety of your Majesty for their interests at the open ing of the present Parliament when your Majesty was graciously pleased to el:aim it attention to " the laws which regulate the trade in Corn," " to determine whe ther these laws do not aggravate the natural fluctuations of supply ; whether they do nut embarass trade, derange the currency, diminish the comforts, and increase the privation of the great body of the community." That in rt ply to this gracious mediation of your Ma jesty in behalf of suffering- industry, your Majesty's me morialists feel some satisfaction that the Parliament has at length acknowledged " that they are deeply sensible of the importance of those considerations to which your Majesty has been graciously pleased to direct their at tention, in reference to thecommerce and revenue of the country and to the laws which regulate the trade in corn." That all parties have, therefore, at length acknow ledged the importance of considering these laws, and their effects upon the great interests of the community. . That the intense sufferings of the people will be greatly aggravated by a continued uncertainty of the settlement of these great questions, and by the natural inclemency of the approaching season ; that it is, there fore, of the utmost consequence th a t y our Majesty'sf gracious recommendation to Parliament should receive its serious attention without any delay, not only in order the sooner to apply legislative measures to alleviate the „distress, but that your Majesty's suffering people may derive consolation and hope amidst their severe depri vations, from the knowledge that their wants arc en gaging the serious attention of the Legislature, for the purpose of their alleviation. Your Majesty's memorialists therefore most earnestly and respectfully pray that your Majesty will take mea sures to continue the deliberations of Parliament without intermission, until these laws shall be so settled as to se cure to your people the most plentiful supply of food at the cheapest rate, and thus to conduce to the general interest of the whole community. • In conclusion, your Majesty's memorialists beg re spectfully to assure your Majesty of the steilfast loyalty, and affection which your Majesty has secured by thus evincing to your people that your Majesty is ever mindful of their true interests, and ready to extend your most gracious sympathy to the unfortunate and sufferiug portion of your people. And your Majesty's memo rialists most solemnly pray, that the great Iluler of the universe will long protect your Majesty in health and prosperity, that your Majesty may continue your most gracious benefits to your loyal subjects. Dr. BOWRING moved the Ist resolution. He felt he could do so without impropriety, as he had been sent to Parliament in order to spew that a reaction had taken place in the public mind on the subject of a repeal of the Corn-laws. In the district with which he had the honor to be connected he believed there was more distress than in almost any other part of the country, and he had made some statements in Parliament connected there with, which he believed had had an effect even upon the Conservatives. Sir Robert Peel had declared that, if it were really true that men had actually died at their looms, some inquiry should take place, and a Committee had been appointed to 'inquire into the facts he (Dr. Bowring) had laid before the House and the public. They were, however, aware that that inquiry would lead to no important result, and no interference of the Poor-law Commissioners, who had been appointed to conduct the inquiry, would provide a remedy for these distresses, unless the Corn-laws were repealed, and their commercial code thoroughly revised.—(Hear, hear.) It was lamentable to think that the various statistical facts that had been laid before the public by po!itical economists, artisans, sufferers, and those who sympa thised with the sufferers, had produced so liale effect; but at last the eloquence of intolerable distress was coming into the field, and lie could not but believe that it would at length make itself heard. In the district with which he was connected the distress was daily increasing, When he was there, a great many were employed only four days in the week ; and he had since heard that they had been reduced to two days, while multitudes were al together unemployed. If any one looked at the situation of the country—its rapid advance in moral and intellec tual greatness—its enormous increase of capital—its wondrous expanse of mind—its increased means of com munication—while there existed so great a mass of suf fering and distress in the country that the public peace was menaced—for he was persuaded that unless some alleviation was found for that mass of misery no one could answer for the continuance of the public tranquil lity—if any one looked at all these things, they must be surprised and dismayed at the apathy exhibited by the Government. He could not contemplate the future with out anxiety and alarm. The object of the preSent meet ing was to call on Parliament, when means were found for relieving the . sufferings of the community, not to sepa rate Without inquiry into them. The resolution which he held in his hand embodied these sentiments.—[Dr. Bowring here read the resolution.]—lt was clear that they must augment the public 'happiness, or the public misery would augment itself. The people would be flung back m hopelessness and despondency, and the conse quences could not be anticipated without: the greatest alarm.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. CLARKE had much pleasure in seconding the resolution. The people of the district with which he was connected had been taught that the Corn-laws were based on the grossest injustice and inhumanity, and they were indebted for their information on the subject to the Anti-Corn-law Association.—(Loud cheers.) The resolution was then put and carried unanimouslyo Mr. PETER TAYLOR moved the second resolution: He would ask the meeting what was their present posi tion ? They had a Ministry turned out for proposing a repeal of the Corn-laws and upholding the principles .• of free trade, and they had a Ministry brought into power who were determined to oppose every modifica tion of the Corn-laws, and every approach to free trade. He believed, whatever might be said of Ministers having lost the confidence of the country by their general conduct, no one would deny that the real cause of their being turned out of office was because they had passed measures which would lead to a repeal of the Corn-laws and an alteration in the com mercial tariff of the country. It was on that account that the landed aristocracy, who governed the whole aristo cracy of the country, had ejected them from office, it being well-known that they never would consent t o suc h have hope s th a t n th le e a p su r for them, but unless that inference was to be dr awn from the circum inviasstrsylawdotadt e r s e e s. nt A lt stance of all those opposed to th e Co rn - laws being in dtoheLnsilewthuildw; eluded in the new Administration he knew of no ground on which to form such an opinion, and that would be proceeding upon the rule of c ontraries. For instance, they had the Duke of Buckingham, the great champion of the Corn-laws, the " no surrender" man ; they had Sir Ed ward Knatchbull, who had been termed the bigot of the Corn-laws ; and they had as President of the Board of ' Trade, the Earl of Ripon, the father and founder of the Corn-laws. But they need not go to these indications, for Sir R. Peel himself had declared, that if thy Cern , laws w ere p rove d t o b e the cause of the present distress, he would be one of the first to vote for their being done away with. Bat he said it was all a 'mistake—all the root of the evil was over-production, joint-stock banks, and machinery. He (Mr. Taylor) was ready to admit that where over-production took place trade-languished, but the question was what was the cause of that over-production? Did it arise from the manufac turers making much mere goods than were wanted, or was it because Peel's policy obstructed the means of dispesing of that production?—(Hear, hear.) He b!lieveti that would be found to be the case.—(Cheers.) They hal a large trade with America, but that we.; he eauee they took their cotton and tobacco in' ex thane fur English manucactures, and if corn was added to these their Anterieaa trade w‘Suld be greatly incr.tsed. But' in addition to what had been stated by Sir IL Peel, they had the declaration of the Duke of Wellington that tiler,' was no distress at all in the country which indestry could not, relieve, and he further congratulated them that England was the only country he knew in which indus try could ensure a competence. Had his Grace heard nothing; of the " short time" in the Lancashire mills, and the pressure throughout the whole cotton districts, to talk o r no other branch of their'manufactures? His Grace had declared, in 1820, that the then existing con stitution was the perfection of human reason, and re quired no change, and yet a short time afterwards the people of that country rose up against it, and it was done away with and completely remodelled, and such might be the result of the Noble Duke's approval of the pre sent state of things. In the present desperation, excite ment, and despair of the people, it was necessary, at all events, that they should know what were the:intentions of Ministers before the winter, which was likely to be one of intense suffering, had set in. —(Hear, hear.) Sir Ito bert Peel had now got his fee, end ought no longer to withhold his advice.—(Hear, hear.) If the poor man's labour was to be less and less in demand—if their looms were to be idle and their mills empty—if their work houses and prisons were to be full---let them, at least, know the fate-that was awaiting them from the present Government. He hoped the proceedings of the present day would go forth to the country, and that petitions and addresses by thousands would pour in to the Queeu to remove a Ministry which was called Conservative, but which lie thought one of the most destructive the country had ever been cursed with.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. BEACON rose and seconded the resolution. He said they could not possibly expect any thing from the present Parliament, when they could get no good from the last. And if they got a good House of Commons, even then they would be frustrated by the House of Lords, the men who were not compelled by law to pay debts of money they borrowed to buy estates. He per fectly agreed with the object of the resolution and felt much pleasure in seconding it. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said that as some allusion had been made to demonstrations being made in the country, Mr. Peter Taylor would read a letter that had been received that morning from the Anti-Corn-law Association in Manchester. Mr. I'. A. TAYLOR then read the following letter ; National Anti-Corn-law League, Manchester, Sept. 9, 1841, My DEAR SIR-I have great pleasure in acknowledg ing the receipt of your letter, which has been duly laid before the Council, and am instructed in return to say that they are glad to see the view which yon have taken upon the subject of a memorial to her Majesty. We are proposing here to have a meeting of the Council for tha purpose of considering the propriety of holding a town meeting on the subject, the exact nature of which you will gather from the accompanying copy of our resolution. " That we would respectfully suggest to yourself and our friends in London the propriety of holding public meetings for that purpose. If you could call ward meetings, or in fact any great number of people together to memorialize her Majesty, it would have a much greater effect than a petition from the Association only. We had a splendid meeting in the Corn Ex change here last night, when Mr. Curtis lectured. The operatives here are getting well aware of the causes of the distress ; and I never knew it half as severe as it is at present upon the lower and middle classes. So im portant do we think is the movement you propose, that we are writing to all the Associations to get up public meetings immediately. Do you, therefore, in London take the lead in your meetings. Let us see reports of them in the paper:, and I have no doubt the country will respond to it.--I remain, my dear Sir, Your's truly, • Sidney Smith, Esq. GEORGE WILSON. Mr. JAMES WILSON rose to propose the second reso lution. He said they had already had a picture of the distress which at present existed in Bolton and the neighbouring manufacturing towns. Be they could not be surprised at that when he told them that, on that morning, on looking at the statistical accounts of the last six months, he found that the cotton wool which had been worked into material for the last three months averaged at the rate of nearly 9,000 bales less than in. the corresponding months of last. year. And the decrease was at that moment upwards of 11.000 bales. If they were to consider this for a moment they could picture to themselves the distress of the manufacturing districts. They also found by the census of Stockport that the population of this, one of our most thriving manufacturing towns, had fallen off 8,000 since 1831, and he had not the slightest doubt that had the census been taken in 1836 the population would have been found to be on the in crcase—(Hear, hear)—and that it was only in the last three years that this depopulation had taken place. It was proper that they should address the Queen on this 6ulject. She was the first Sovereign for many centuries who had become associated in a great popular question with the people. She was the only Sovereign that had been found standing between the aristocracy and the people, and defending their political rights. A friend of his a few days ago proposed to him that they ought to erect a statue to commemorate Queen Elizabeth. He (Mr. Wilson) thought that her present Majesty knew well the character of Elizabeth, for, when a child, she was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury what she thought of Queen Elizabeth, and her answer was that she thought her a good Queen, but a bad woman.—(Cheers.) He thought they could not approach the Queen too often on the present question. Although they had but a small meeting that day, he would state that it had been called together at a very short notice, added to which the room was but small. When he re membered that about twelve months ago the circum stances were so limited that Mr. Smith, their Secretary, gave his services free, and they were compelled to dis charge their porters for want of money, he could not but feel satisfaction at the change which had taken place.—(Cheers.) He concluded by proposing the third resolution. Mr. Waltz seconded the resolution. He always felt that the best way to carry a question was to agitate it. They found that the Executive of the country had with one voice declared that there was great distress through out the country, and that that would be the first ques tion to take into their consideration. They were parries Who would make promises without any intention of performing them. The only means was to nail them to the question. They had made concessions, but they would wriggle out of them like eels.—(Laughter.) The only way to do so was that which was then proposed to them. lie thought that during the last few years a feeling was arising in their favour, and that feeling was still advancing. He thought they were in a position to ask what the Parliament dared not refuse. He felt, and his experience in the provinces was considerable, That a great demonstration should take place in London, in order that a banner might be raised under which they could stand and serve. He ca ll e d upon them not only to give their signatures to that petition, but to dissemi nate its principles to all they_knew, and bid them go and do likewise. There was a feeling in the country which the iron Duke would be aslittle able to wjthstand as that at the time of the Reform Bill. Mr. Canning, who wouid not a allow a single borough to be reformed, was now in his grave. The tide of Reform had rolled over that grave, and swept the boroughs with it. And so it would be with that iron Duke.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN was about to put the resolution to the meeting, when Mr. WALKER, the Secretary to the Westminster Anti-Corn•law Association, rose and said—lt had been svggested that the means hitherto adopted with regard to this question were not sufficient. He thought it would be better if there was to be a day set apart for a demonstration, and that a deputation should be formed of parties who were favourable to the repeal of the Corn laws, and for them to adopt a plan by which their feel ings in the cause might be more powerfully adopted. It was not in the spirit of opposition, but with a convic tion that the means were inadequate to the purposes for which they had met. Mr. HART said that he had been trying that morning to get up a Town-hall meeting in the borough of South wark. In his solicitation for a requisition he had had but two refusals, and those wer3 by persons not, in oppo sition to the cause, but who objected to have their names in print. One gentleman on whom he had called, said that he had never taken part in politics, nor would he then, but that he had been so much disgusted by the late election that he was determined to join in any Anti-Corn-law Association that might be formed. He (Mr. llart) re plied that lie was Secretary to the Southwark branch, and he gave his name at once, with his contribution. These were the results of his morning's work, and he thought there was no room for despair. Their motto should be, " Up, forward, nil desperandum." Mr. S. SMITH then rose and announced that the me morial would lay at the office of the Anti-Corn-law As sociation, in the Strand, to receive signatures. He also suggested that the memorials which might be got up by local offices should.be sent to this office for presentation ; for if they were sent direct to the Home-often they would lie there, and the Queen wonkl know nothing about them. That Association would take care that they should be put into the hands of Privy Councillors who would seek an audience of her Majesty to pre sent them. Dr. BEDFORD then briefly moved that the memopial be recommended for adoption to the district pAppo lio, r. PROM` proposed a yotp a thanks to the Chair man, which being 4eoonded, The CHAIRMAN rose to return thanks. He begged to say that he should ever go on as he had done in this Association, and with the gentlemen who were about him, and who were such able colleagues, If they re ceived support personally and in money from all their friends, they would soon be able to carry the great mea sure. The meeting then separated. TALACRE COAL AND IRON COM- PA N Y. An extraordinary meeting was held yesterday of the Shareholders in the above Company, at the office, 30, John-street, Adelphi, for the purpose of taking into consideration the general affairs of the Company—to provide a means to pay off its liabilities—to adopt such proceedings at law or in equity as might appear desir able, and also to determine upon the steps to be taken for winding up the affairs of the Company. Mr. Ceapilon was proposed, and took the Chair. There was but a thin attendance,of proprietors, but se veral of them ctune. attended by solicitors. The CHAIRMAN, on taking the chair, made a few ob servations, mid was proceeding to read the requisition, calling the meeting together, when he was interrupted by Mr. Wire, who. appeared for Mr. Weston, one of the thareliolders, requesting to know how many Directors there were at present in the Company, and also requesting that the names be read over. The Chairman then read the names ,of the Directors at present acting, and it appeared that there were only about four or five. A long and desultory discussion then arose as to the lega lity of the meeting, the deed of settlement stating that no meeting could be convened or held unless there were tea Directers in attendance, and it appeared that there were only three Directors to the Company actually in existence. At length, after considerable discussion and much warmth on both sides, the Chairman rose and put the question to the meeting, that the Report of the Com pany (which had been drawn up by the Company's Soli citor) should be read and adopted. • This gave rise to renewed discussion, and a. great deal of angry parleying 'was kept up by the Solicitors to the different Share holders and the Solicitor to the Company (Mr. Ashurst). The alleged ground of opposition to the reception of the Report was teat it was a one-sided or ex parte statement, and imputed fraud to many parties connected with the Company. But it appeared that the opposition was prin cipally to the Report having been drawn up by the three Directors themselves, without the knowledge of the Shareholders, and part of it being founded on documentary evidence, which the shareholders knew no thing about. From the proceedings that occurred yes terday, there appeared to be two distinct interests in the Company, that of the Shareholders in the concern, and the Directors. Mr. Weston, one of the Shareholders, said that he believed that it was the object of the Directors to at once dissolve the concern, and there were parties who were waiting ready for its disso lution, to come and purchase the estate ; for a letter had been put into his hand that morning by a person who expected that the plans of the Company would be ren dered nugatory, and who was ready to purchase the estate, and who hoped by the present proceedings of the Directors, to get it at a reduced price. Mr. Weston stated that if the present report were read, it would be the means, not of aiding the Company in its present difficulties, but of adding 20,0001. more to the already accumulated losses. Whereas, if a proper report were made out, by and with the sanction and inspection of tile whole of the Shareholders, parties might be found who would purchase the estate at a price which would clear their losses. He himself knew parties who were ready to purchase the estate on the terms he had men tioned. He characterised the report submitted to the meeting as one of gross injustice to the Shareholders, and more especially to himself, who, he was aware, would be characterised in it as having acted the part of a swindler towards the Company. He himself did not wish to suppress facts, but as an honourable man, and a man of business, he wished the facts to go forth to the world, but, in justice, lee wished first to know what those facts were, and how far they could be substantiated. After a very angry discussion, in which there was con siderable bandying of personalities and wholesale abuse, the Chairman submitted the amounts of the shares, and other property held by the Directors, contrasting it with that of the Shareholders, by which it appeared • that the Directors had 15,0001. invested in the concern, while the Shareholders only possessed about 1,7001. This was replied to by Mr. Weston, who said he was in a position to show, within an hour, that the state ment of the Chairman was most incorrect, and if it Ives so, what an evil it would be to have a Report read, going forth, as it would, to the pub lic, which had been framed under such circumstances. This, he said, was one convincing proof why the Report should not be read. The conversation again wandered into personalities, many parties frequently speaking at the same time, and all abusing each other, when Mr. Rawson, a shareholder, rose and said he thought they were wasting a great deal of time in useless personali ties. He never condemned a man until he proved that he was guilty ; therefore, although he could not consent to the Report being read, he thought the best plan would be to have a few gentlemen appointed for the purpose of inspecting the Report, and then to report to the Share holders upon it at a future meeting. The Chairman rose to put this to the meeting, and did so, but no notice whatever was taken of it, as several gentlemen rose to speak at once, and there was great confusion. After several of the Shareholders had spent themselves out, and almost talked themselves hoarse, a Shareholder, whose name did not transpire, discovered that they were doing no business, and thought that, as there was so much objection to reading the Report, the best course to pursue would be to adjourn the meeting, and either inspect the Report submitted or prepare another. This seemed to meet the views of all parties, and Mr. Rawson was called upon to make a motion to that effect. A discussion then arose as to whether any of the Directors should be upon the Committee, to be appointed to inspect the Report ; but this difficulty having been got over, and Mr. Ashurst having pledged himself to supply any documents that might be required in the examination of the Report, Mr. Rawson proposed the following atnendmentto the motion that the Report be read and received :—" That the Meeting be adjourned until the 29th Sept. inst., and that a Committee be appoint e d t o cons id er the Report, and any other circumstances connected with the Com pany." This amendment havi ng b een carr i ed, the meeting was dissolved at about half-past three, SPORTING IN TELLIGENCI; I , DONCASTER RACES—TuEsP A y. Year after year it has been our . " doings" of th e St. L eger Day. - ~sk to record the and on nearly every casion have been enabled fr ., dilate on the many exciting occurrences by which.,one exception—the withDerby— it has been so eminently distinguished above all other fete days. For the last three or four seasons, however, truth has obliged us to admit a progressive decline, and we are now reduced to the necessity of either blinking the question, or of stating in plain terms that the St. Leger of 1841 h as i n every imaginable feature fallen below the worst of its predecessors. It is needless to enter again into causes, but the fact is obvious ; and it is established, not less by the apathy observable at the betting-rooms on Monday night, than by the appearance of the town this morning, which lacked most of the attributes of bygone St. Leger days. Some degree of bustle was created by the arrival of the coaches and boats from the stations at Masbo rough and Swinton, freighted with live cargoes from York, Manchester, and the Metropolis, and by the as semblage of some hundreds of the country people; but the display of private equipages was unprecedentedly small, and the unusual number of " lodgings to let" (alone) in all the principal avenues, gave melancholy evidence of the absence of those influential characters who, in the olden time, philosophically submitted t 9 high charges, on the principle, perhaps, that a good article is always worth' a good price. Aluch . anxiety was felt for the arrival of Coronation from Mr. Fullerton's (not Lord Scarborough's, as stated on Monday), which was ex ' pected about nine o'clock. Crowds were on the look out for the van, which entered the town shortly after that time, and proceeded direct to a paddock near the New Church, instead of the Course, as some had anticipated. his appearance and manner on entering the paddock were watched with eager curiosity, and various were the opinions expressed on the subject ; the majority were sa tisfied that he looked quite " fit," but a select few fan cied that he was rather " fleshy," and augured unfa vorably from an occasional pull at the bridle, and a few kicks from the lad who was on his back. "He goes sluggish and unlike himself," was the verdict of his party. As the betting is the surest criterion in matters of this kind, we entered the subscription-room with the idea of getting an answer to the grave question—" Whe ther Coronation was Coronation ?" Here, however, business was for a long time a t a stand-still, with nothing to dissipate ennui ,but a ridiculous hoax attempted on the Clerk of the Course, in the shape of a letter from a Mr. Davis, of Piccadilly, to Mr. Lockwood, the judge, in which the writer stated, that having made a bet against more than two horses being placed, he should feel obliged if Mr. L. would limit that part of his duty accordingly, holding out the magnificent temptation of Si.! The writer added some little matters connected with the settling on the Derby, which at once proved the letter to be a forgery. This precious epistle was stuck up as a caution, and actually imposed upon two or three north -country flats of more thee. ordinary ob tuseness. At the close of the room, previous to the races, the prices were--9 to 1 on.

Sati rist, 7 to 1 agst Van Amburgh, 16 to 1 agst The Squire, 18 to 1 agst Eringo, and 50 to 1 agst Galaor. The horses reached the post within a few minutes of the appointed time, and got off with only one failure. Cattonian took the lead, followed by Coronation and Scott's two, in which order they ran to the gravel road, where Coronation took up the running at'a steady pace, Van Amburgh lying behind, Satirist and Cattonian next, mid then the ruck, The Squire and Gabuor being in the rear. In this manner the race progressed to the mile-post, where Satirist and Van Amburgh changed places, and Cattonian fell back, Eringo being now in an advanced position. In making the Red House turn, Eringo failed in an attempt to reach the leading horses, 1 and a simFar attempt of Pagan's met with the same want 'of success. The Squire now showed in front ; lent, having to d o round his horses, aid not reach Sati rist till half-way between the _yed Heitse and the road; he then took his ground, a n in company with Satirist waited on the crack to the distance, where Sa tirist went up and headed Coronation about a neck ; John Day here gave his horse a pull, but it was evident that he was in difficulty ; he certainly rallied at the Stand, but tired every stride from want of con dition, and was beaten in the struggle home by half a neck. The Squire was about three parts of g, length behind Coronation ; Pagan was fourth, Van Amburgh and Erinengardis fifth and s i xt h, and hack Sheppard seventh ; Galaor and Eringo, we believe, were the last two. Value of the Stakes 3,500/. The race was run in three minutes twenty-two seconds. It seems to be the common opinion that Coronation lost the race trom want of adequate preparation, and if it be true that he sweated on Thursday last, and never had a gallop from that time up to the hour of starting, he cannot be said to have been beaten on his merits. In conse quence of the letter alluded to above, Mr. Lockwood ap plied to. the Steward to know how many horses he was to place, and he was directed to place two only.

The Corporation, taking alarm, at the obvious diminu tion of public interest in their races, and anxious before it be too late to avert the ruinous consequences of thei r decline; this day in v itel the Noblemen and Gentlemen, who are the chief supporters of the races, to meet a de putation of their body at the Club House, with a view of offering, such suggestions, or receiving such proposi tions as might appear best calculated to give tl - satisfaction. The meeting accordingly took place at e l even o'clock and on the p ar t o f the Cl- a b was attended by Lord Maidstone and Sir Charles Ibbetson, (the Stewards), Lord G. Bentinck, the Marquis of Nor manby, Lord Chesterfield, Sir David :aird, the Lion. Col. Anson, the lion. G. Byng, Mes‘",rs. Cookson, Orde, Allen, &c. The deputation consisted of Sir Isaac MOrley, some of the 41dermva, and Mr. Mason, the town clerk. Lord Maidstone, having taken the chair, called upon the depatatiw:i to state any proposition m'hich they had to make, w / ..en Mr. Mason, on behalf of the Corporation said that t, was instructed t o recomm en d a few altera tio'as, which, it was hoped, would also be considered im provements. The first was, the reduction of the days of running from five to four, to commence on the Tuesday instead of Monday. The next was, the nominatiens of Stewards on Wednesday, with a view to soliciting subscriptions to a great Northern Handicap, as at Good wood and elsewhere, and the third, fur reducing the riw balls from two to one. Mr. Mason was proceeding to explain some proposed alterations in the weights for the Cup, and other races, when he was interrupted by Lord G. Renaud:, who observed that those were matters which would properly be left to a Racing Committee. The great 1 193 ':c to come at was, whether the Corporation 'were prepared to enhance the amount of their cor!ributions as an en couragement to gentlemen t 9 tbntinue their supp ort to the meeting. Mr. Mason, .":a reply, intimated that the Corporation were klisVned to continue the sum given this year, 5001 ., but tIvITt evidently did not meet the ideas of the gentlenY: recapitula t: present, and Lord G. Bentinck having ed the large sums given at Liverpool, Newcas tle: I v "oiverhampton, Goodwood, Ascot, and elsewhere, far l ' - ..ceeding those contributed by the rich Corporation of Doncaster, and creating a natural and very successful tivalry, it was agreed that an adjournment should take place till the next day, in order that some substantial proposition should be considered by the Corporation, so that the patrons of the turf may at once ascer tain whether they will be justified in continuing their countenance to Doncaster, or transferring it to places where the encouragement is commensurate with the ad vantage received. The deputation then retired, pro mising to call a meeting of the Corporation to decide upor, what was to be done; but declaring that they wero pared to do all in their power to give general satisF:iejon MANCHESTER— TUESDAY EVENiN G to all aP deeline s t m o p u g t bu T sin h e e ss r . esu i l h t e of u kh r e s S a t t .. e L s e u g f e e r u i . s t r i eVy llhe g NP: the Cu ivino• any quotations. Bee's ng is all th e rage for the Cup. The following extraordinary case came, a few days ago, before the Court of Assize of the Pas de Calais. On the 12th of May last a female named The rese Decamp, residing at HanescarnpP, was found by one of her neighbours in a barn, sitting on a chair, with ts. quantity of blood at her feet, in which were several pieces of flesh without the skin. Tlw woman who dis covered her in this situation immediately exclaluied, " You were pregnant, an d you have just assassinated your child." No answer to this accusation was given, and some medical men were called in, who, after an examination declared that Therese De camp had really given birth to 'a child. The pieces of flesh were then submitted to them and exa mined, an d t h ey declared although th e head, arms, leg 4, m nes hal' e b r e c lo i n U g is e si d ng to "; athatm .ale thecbpioirdt.ionas,boe lung f fiesta were immersed by them in water, and the result was a declaration th at t h e child had been born alive. 1 -TP.°?. this evidence Therese Decamp was committed for triad upon a charge of infanticide, under all the horrible bn cir cumstances implied by the discovery which had made. Her defence, however, gave a very different colour to the transaction, and excited astonishment andb 115(1r in the Court at the extraordinary mistake w hic h of a child, and that she is at this moment i l v e t r i ' three. months been made.

ESCAPE FROM a g ow NlNG.—Yesterday morn ing M. de Rhin, a foreign gentleman, had a narrow escape from drowning near the Custom-house. It ap pears, that not being accustomed to steam-boats, he be came greatly alarmed at the swell, and in trying to place himself in the middle of the wherry, he over balanced himself and fell into the water, calling loudly for assistance. The cur rent b eing very strong at the time, he was carried rapidly away with the tide, and had it not been for the prompt assistance of the watermen he would have perished. On being safely landed, he with difficulty expressed his gratitude to the men who had res cued him, and presented them each with a Napoleon for their trouble. o'J 4 . •.. sue 1
