THE DERBY. —ln- the quotations from Newmarket of' Friday last the Frederica colt had fairly " collared" the north country crack, and as many parties were still anx i ous t o " get on " t h e change described ke:ow will not excite much surprise. The first bet laid yeste.day was 350 to 50 agst the Frederica colt, and so numerous and extensive were the commissions that se veral other bets at that price in fifties, 3,500 to 500 in one bet, 65J to 100, and 600 to 100, each in four or five quarters. were booked in the course of the afternoon; the layers, however, took their stand at 6to 1, and his friends gave in. Attila was backed for a moderate amount at 8 and 9 to 1, Auckland. at 14, Canadian at 17, and the Joanna colt at 18 to 1, but none of their parties sanguine —indeed the Frederica movement made almost every other appear impossible. Two or three, however, are deserving of a short notice. The Lord of Holderness, ever on the change, was again at a discount, after a little had been got out of him at 25 to 1, 30, 40, and, as a clincher, 1,000 to 15 were laid, a fall which would lead to the inference that the report circulated at Newmarket last I week had not been altogether without grounds. To supply the vacancy caused by his retreat, Meteor was brought into play at 40 to 1, taken by two or three parties. He was also in considerable demand for the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes. Canadian's decline on last week's odds may be traced to an improvement in Robert de Gorham, who was supported with some show of spirit. Tiptoe was backed rather freely at 50 to 1. and on those terms his friends were willing to go on; with the single exception of Canadian, he is the only public runner of last week, that has any standing in the odds, for, although a solitary bet of 40 to 1. was taken about Sir Harry (the Dirce colt), 50 to 1 was afterwards offered repeatedly without effect. A few engagements were made on the 2,000 Guinea Stakes, Chester Cup and Oaks, but beyond an improvement in Lamer cest and Bellona, for the Cup, and in Dil-bar for the Oaks, no thing new or interesting presented itself. The betting dosed at a quarter before seven, at the following averages . TWO THOUSAND GUINEA STAKES. 2 to 1 agst Mr. Bowes' Meteor 3 to 1 agst Lord Orford's Petulance colt 6 to 1 agst Mr. Wreford's Wiseacre-taken. DERBY. PRIVATE TUTOR.

Its claims are understood to rest on the truth and force of the scenes, characters, and passions that are developed in its pages, un aided by those mere artifices of exaggeration and caricature which so disfigure the works of many of our popular writers. The story is said to involve an admirable practical moral, aris ing out of the varied adventures of two beautiful and high born maidens, both endowed by nature with noble qualities of heart and mind, but one of them wanting those qualities in enbridled " passion" for want of that " principle" which the other has happily imbibed from a wisely conducted education. The scenes are said to be laid in the highest clas!es cf the real life of our own day, so that the work promises to take the cha racter of a higher sort of " fashionablo novel."

As a lady, who resided in the Rue de la Pain, was returning home lately, with a small embroidery frame under her arm, when, in the Rue d'Antin ' a dog ran against her legs and threw h er d own . H er temple came against the corner stone of the paremert, and she expired instantly. The other day as some parties were sawing an oak tree into planks, at Wellington wharf, they discovered a knife blade embedded in the solid wood, 9 inches below the bark. The tree grew on Needwood Forest, and it is supposed the knife-blade originally belonged to some deer-stealers, who had stuck it in the tree and forgotten it.—Derby Reporter. Os DlT.—The Rev. Sydney Smith has in the press a humourous extravaganza, entitled the " Cool of the Evening ;" also a ." Letter touching Introductions and Invita- tions," addressed to an eminent living poet. In the afternoon of the 3d inst. Collomb and Badin, two men confined in the prison at Bourgoin, in the Isere, got out of their cells by means of false keys, and made their way up to the roof, where they were seen by some persons in the street, who gave the alarm. They were immediately pursued by the gaolers, but they had contrived to conceal themselves from all search, until a woman, who lodged in a house near the prison, lighted her fire, and a few minutes after was astounded by seeing a man fall from the chimney into the room, nearly suffocated by the smoke she had made. It proved to be Badin, who was secured. Collomb was retaken on Monday under circumstances almost as singular. The Sub stitute of the Procureur du lloi was returning in the diligence from Lyons, when he recognised Collomb walking along the road at a rapid nave in the contrary direction. The law officer knew nothing of his escape, but being aware that he was to be removed that day to Grenoble, and concluding that he had es caped from the gendarmes, he stopped at Saint Laurent-de- Mures, and sent off a mounted man of the brigade stationed there, who overtook the fugitive, and brought him back to Bourgoin. The verdicts of juries often pass human under standing. Mr. Caldwell is found guilty, but recommended to mercy on the score of previous good character. The jurors, who believed Mr. Caldwell guilty, should have seen in him a man who hal followed up the attempt to commit one great crime with another hardly less heinous, for, if he were guilty of the attempt to violate Mrs. Corbett, he was guilty also of the the forgery of letters and the subornation of evidence to destroy her reputation, to cast her from her husband, and to ruin her. A more wicked case could hardly be imagined, the defence being almost as great an outrage against Mrs. Corbett as the original offence. Mr. Caldwell either deserved an acquittal as an innocent man, or, as a guilty one, all the punishment that the law can award.—Eraminer.

The House of Commons last night agreed, by a majo rity of 97, the numbers being 285 and 188, to give a first reading to the Income-tax Bill. Lord J. P trssELL opposed the measure, and Mr. VILLIERS, Mr. Fox MAITLE, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, in an excellent speech, the details of which we recommend to our readers' consideration, and Mr. COBDEN, took the same side; but we regret to say that other gentlemen, sitting opposite to Sir ROBERT PEEL, both spoke, and said they would vote, in favour of his measure. Scarcely content with giving their reasons for thus being parties to inflicting an intolerable grievance bn their constituents, two of them, Mr. RAIKES CURRIE and Mr. ROEBUCK, pronounced, each envying, perhaps, the eloquence of the other, a warm panegyric on the measure and character of Sir ROBERT PEEL. His conduct was described as straightforward, manly, honest, bold, and suited to the exigencies of the country. It is unpleasant not to share in .such admiration ; but, differing entirely from Mr. ROE BUCK and Mr. RAIKES CURRIE, we must repeat our opi nion, that a more Machiavellian course—a course more certainly intended to obtain an end, which Sir H. PEEL himself dare not avow, an end which it was the burden of Mr. ROEBUCK'S speech to condemn, the preservation of his own power, by sowing sordid divisions amongst the people—a more Machiavellian course than that of Sir Hoarder PEEL never fell under our notice. Differing entirely from Mr. lloEnucx in his appreciation of Sir RommT PEEL'S conduct—for barefaced impudence does not impose on us for courago— we differ entirely also from the conclusions to which Mr. IloEttucx came. We inquire not into his motives —for his conduct he must answer to his constituents; but we shall state one or two objections to his reasoning. It is Mr. ROEBUCK'S opinion, and in this we agree, that the Government is too extravagant, and that its extravagance is a great injury to the community. Moreover, Mr. ROEBUCK agrees with us in condemning the present constitution of the House of Commons. Sir R. PEEL approves of this, and demands more money. To two fundamental artieles of Mr. ROEBUCK'S political creed'Sir R. PEEL is de cidedly opposed ; yet Mr. ROEBUCK votes with the Right Hon. Baronet, and says that his scheme of policy is suited to the exigencies of the country. We cannot comprehend that, and it seems to us either that Mr. ROEBUCK is ignorant of 'the force of his ow•n pro positions, or he is insincere in urging them. Again, being an avowed economist and arguing strongly in favour of retrenchment, knowing, as he must, that no Government ever retrenches that can help it, he voted to place in the hands of the Government a new tax, amounting at least to 3,700,0002 We cannot understand the logic of Mr. RoEnucx's argument and his vote. Mr. ROEBUCK is a popular champion, and he arms ;he Government with new and extensive powers. Sir R. PEEL, by his new scheme of taxation, proposes to levy 600,000/. more from the people than he wants. In fact, including the income, he will derive from the alterations in the tariff, and from not losing the timber duties for more than half the year, he will levy nearly 1,000,000/. more than he wants; yet for this increased and unnecessary burden on the people did the economy loving and freedom-loving Mr. ROEBUCK vote. Mr. ROEBUCK pleaded, that the constituencies had formed a bad House of Commons, and heseemed pleased, rather than otherwise, that the constituencies should feel the goad of an Income-tax. But the electors of Bath did not send him to Parliament to vote for such a tax. If it be proper to punish in that manner the electors of Liverpool, who returned Lord SANDON and Mr. CR ESS _ WELL, the electors of Bath, who erected Lord DUNCAN and Mr. ROEBUCK, do not- deserve such a visitation. Their own Member, however, has voted to inflict an Income-tax on them. We agree as little with Mr. ROEBUCK'S political economy, as with his policy.

To us it is clear that, by _ J. RUSSELL'S plan, the State would get no inereas, revenue, unless trade flourished and consumpt increased. It is essential to the success of ti plan that the people prosper. — To levy it will i quire no new machinery. But the direct taxation pr( posed by Sir R. PEEL limits the enjoyment of the people in proportion to its amount, and the Exchequer may, by that means, be filled while the people ar© ruined. It requires, too, a host of new officials. We do not say that indirect is always to be preferred to direct taxation, but Lord Joirx R ESSELL '' s plan Waa to increase the revenue by increasing the co.nsumption of the p e opl e . Si r R. PEEL'S plan is to in crea we it by taking from th e i r means o f enjoyment. Mr. lit lunucit voted to tax the electors of Bath 7d. per pound on ` their incomes, for which they will get nothing whatever '. but the pleasure of paying it. Admitting that Mr. R, VX . BUCK'S speech was clever, we never heard one which i vis more like special pleading in a causo which was felt to ''se essentially bad. 1 Since the t ar iff quest i on has b een mooted, we A lava' convicted th e C orn -l aw, by the complaints of the aLl3i— culturists, of plundering the consumers to a greater e.t." tent than ever was ascribed to it by Messrs. IlumE,". APGREGOR, and BOWRING. We have now another proof of the same fact. A new weekly publication, called the Church and State Gazette, is extremely anxious to de monstrate that Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Corn Bill and his tariff will confer immense advantages on the public. It says, " Surely no one will deny that the new Corn-law will reduce the price of bread one penny in every quay- , tern loaf. A man, his wife, and three children will eat. with their servant, one quartorn loaf and a half per diem,,. or 547 loaves per annum—say 500 loaves. Then the• new law will save him 500 pennies each year. This will save him 21. ls. Bd. No one will call this exagge rated." Now the utmost reduction of the duty is about 10 per cent., and that reduction, according to this writer, will save every man with a family of three children, 21. Is. Bd. per year. If this he not an exaggeration, it follows, as clear as daylight, that the reduction of the other nine-tenths of the duty would save him lg. 15s. But the quartern loaf, or rather the four- pound loaf; does not cost more than 10d., and on this mode of reasoning, it would then be got for nothing. The statement is, therefore, a palpable error, committed; by this pseudo religious publication, in order to gull the public. Sir IL PEEL'S Corn-law will not lower the quartern loaf one penny. At the same time, we quote the testimony of this and other Tory Journals to the fact, that the proposed alter ations in the Corn-laws and the tariff will redtice the price of provisions, and that this reduction is a public benefit, with great pleasure. It is of great public im portance. The exaggeration does not alter the principle which the Church and State Gazette establishes—namely . that the Corn and Provision-laws, as at pre. sent existing, raise prices, and take away pro perty from all the consumers of bread wad. meat. The Gazette, and the whole body of the Tories, exult and boast of the great advantage of thee small reduction, but why stop short at a little good—why • not abolish, instead of reducing the evil? While they admit that they take ten pounds from every family un righteously, and boast of restoring one, what can they say in defence of continuing to take the other nine? For pious people, pretending to be the guardians of the na tion, to acknowledge that they by means of law steal ten pounds from every family, and to boast of restoring one, is unquestionably the greatest piece of impudence we have yet known the pseudo godly tribe to be guilty of. The whole of the Church and State party continually claim for themselves greater purity of morals than is possessed by other men : if such be true, we wonder how society can exist, for all other men must be, at the very least. most impudent and most consummate scoundrels. THE CONTRADICTORY MINISTRY.—The present is ta. wonderful Administration. It came into power as the• farmers' friend ; it has partly filched away their beloved. Corn-law, and their cattle prohibition, and has become the farmers' enemy. They say it has cheated them. It appealed, b'y its Income-tax, to the Chartists, and it was supposed, for the moment, to be the Chartists' friend. Now it is found out: that an Income-tax is intended to prepare for putting down freedom in France, and, if possible, in the 'United States, and the Chartists leek at k it even more askance than the farmers. " how," they say, " could we be such f oo l s us to b e li eve t h at t h e I)uke of Wellington, an old soldier, and the Tory Peel, could sincerely mean to benefit and exalt the worlung classes ? Both are great by our slavery, but fair words betrayed • us, for a moment, into believing that they were our t friends." This Ad m i n i strat i on is now upholding the system of flogging, which degrades both army and navy; and yet its parasites call it the sailors' friend. As it has turned against the farmers, as the Chartists have detected it, we hope its assumed character towards the navy may not indicate that it is to destroy the main arm of our security, as it has betrayed and deceived the other interests to which it has pretended to be a friend. SALTED PROVISIONS.—A return has just been laid on the table of the House of Commons of the salted'. beef and salted pork imported into. an - 1 exported from. the United kingdom from sth of January, 1834, to sth:. of January, 1842, &c. Since 1834 the importation has suet cessively increased from 4,155 cwt. of salted beef, ill 1834, to 42,956 cwt. in 1841; from 3,730 cwt. of salted: pork, in 1834, to 45,317 cwt. in 1841. There were re-.. exported, in 1834—beef, 3,048 cwt.; pork, 31,331 cwt. ; and, in 1841—beef, 32,306 cwt. ; pork, 29,367 cwt., There remained, therefore, for consumption, in the year 1841, beef, 10,650 cwt. ; pork, 15,950 cwt. The port from whence the salted provisions is principally imported into England is Hamburgh. The exports have gone chiefly to British possessions in India, and to Bri tish settlements in Australia and New Zealand. Our North American colonies, whence we might have expected a supply, and which, in the first year, sent 1,593 cwt. of beef, was supplied from England in 1842 with 6,472 cwt. of beef, and 2,384 cwt, of pork. The grrater part of that probably went to Newfoundland,. Inuit seems a most false and mistaken policy to encou rage the colonists in cutting timber, and make them neglect the breeding and feeding of cattle. An inference unfavourable to our restrictive policy altogether may be drawn from the return, since it proves that a considerable supply of provisions is in fact obtained for an increasing people, in spite of the Corn-law ; but it has brought that supply to us in the condensed, and, so to speak, manufactured form of meat, instead of our obtaining it in the shape of grain. The true policy of England is the reverse of that of Sir E. Peel, who is about to encou rage the importation of the inferior grains, :trid of meat and cattle, when, as we must imrort food, the best kind of importation is the most valuable grain, namely, wheat. THE ROYAL NAVY. WOOLWICH, APRIL 18.—The following has just been issued : "Memorandum--. The rating of leading stoker' having been added to the establishments of her Majesty's s t ea m-vessels, by order in Council of the 2d of February, 1842, the command ing officers of all such vessels are hereby acquainted that the object of this rating is to improve the practice of 'stoking,' to which too little importance has been hitherto attached, so as to combine, with the greatest possible efficiency in the raising and maintaining of the steam, the utmost economy in fuel, whether considered as a constant and heavy item of expense, or as affecting the resources of her Majesty's steam-vessels in this important particular. With this view their Lordships are pleased to direct that the commanding officers shall be at liberty to recommend to them, for such rating such stokers as they shall have good reason to consider eserving of, and qua lified for, the situation, on account of their steady conduct, ex perience in this particular business, and superior ability in con• duet ing it. Their Lordships strictly forbid any such recom mendation until men can be obtained possessing the qualifica hone above mentioned; and if, on trial, any man so rated be found unfit to fill the situation, either on account of character oi ability. he is to be disrated, and a report thereof made for their Lordships' information. The ieading stokers are to be under the immediate direc tion of the engineers of the respective watches, and to he respon sible, during the watches, for the due performance of the duty committed to their charge. Their names, characters (especi ally as to sobriety), and qualifications, are to be inserted im mediately under under the engineers, in every monthly report. of the engines, &c. " The number of leading stokers in each vessel's establish ment being the same as that of the engineers, their Lordships recommend to the commanding officers so to arrange the several watches as to create an emulation in the performance of this very essential duty ; and special mention is to be made, in the reports, of any leading stokers who may display peculiar zeal and ability in carrying out the desired improvement in this department of the service, with a view to their future employ. ment in preference to others. " A list of leading stokers will be kept in this department and at Woolwich Dockyard, containing an account of their ser vices, character, qualifications, &c. ; and when a steam-vessel is paid off, the leading stokers, if of good character, may be indas supernumeraries on the bo o k s o f the ta 'Ai sl a7y, it, or future employment, as is now th e case w e who are bo rne on the books of the guard - ships for that purpose." reW i ill th iai certain 'e t r ht and de other classes of petty officers, His Royal Highness Prince Albert presided yester day at a rehearsal at the Hanocer-square-rooms of tho Concert of Ancient Alusic. Forsaken by those we trusted—hearing nothing t'u eulogium on our opponents—almost deserted,we are afraW. 6 by the people themselves—we cannot and will not do - spair. Our cause suffers because the Members of the House of Commons have no other alternative iname-. diately offered them than the scheme of Sir It. PEEL, or, that of Lord JouN RUSSELL, and those who do not ap prove of the one embrace the other. All agree in this, that the Government must have, and must speul more money. In that we do not agree. The expenditure of the Government is ruining the people, and the -Legisla ture forgets its primary duty when, for the sake of pre serving the former, it inflicts an irreparable injury on the latter.
