It is dae to Mr. Merry and Mr. Howard to state that they were totally uninfluenced by the " dis union" in the riag, and were merely passive and neutral spectators of the extraordinarygame of see-saw and cross purposes which the public played with their horses. Kingstown has been advanced to a prominent position in the Derby betting. For the Two Thousand he made the running to the top of the Bushes-hill, and his owner was not a little pleased with the manner in which he ac complished his work. Kingstown will, in my opinion, be certain to attain one of the leading positions in the race for the Derby. His running, too, contributed nut a little to the sudden rise of Nabob in the betting on the Chester Cup. Nabob, it will be remembered, gave him, at Salisbury, upwards of two stone and a half for the three years' difference in their ages, and beat him easily by a length. People saw De Clare at Newmarket, and were evi dently not .best pleased with his appearance. • He is a sluggish, clumsy goer, and evidently requires much riding. He looked, too, very fat, and it will re quire all John Scott's skill to prepare him properly by the Derby Day. I confess I was not captivated" by Do Clare. Should Habena keep well, the Oaks is of . a verity "all over but shouting." • Speculation on the Chester Cup was spiritedly par sued throughout the week, and the changes which were made in it will doubtless be extended this afernoon. Arthur Wellesley, Early Bird, Nabob, Scythian, and Neville now occupy the front ranks in the betting. ofo t c h o e n r Fr s , d h e o r w a t e i v o e n r ; w w i l h l ods doubtless pretensions übtl e s ab e s are o soon broughteuall y h forward. wort On Monday I will make my final dip into the Cup.

The mighty interests which the race involed, and the feelings of and prejudice which certain circumstances connected with it created, were calculated to deepen and sustain the, ex citement which prevailed. Never did two opposing factions display more pertinacious hostility than did the respective partisans of St. Hubert and Lord of the Isles; They fought under distinct banners, and to the last their ardour never cooled or their spirits flagged. Not withstanding the assurances made to the 'contrary, it is unquestionable that a large and influential party • deemed Lord of the Isles a " dead-un," and acting on this conviction they launched into What seemed wild and unwarrantable speculations, and took greater liberties with the horse than was justified 14 " legitimate" bet ting. Still the pecuniary Strength of the ring, is some what satisfactorily established by the fact of the few complaints, which have been made as to the nature of the settling. Still, until after the final squaring of ac counts this afternoon, it will be impossible to write with accuracy on this subject. Through good and through evil report I was a staunch adherent, to St. Hubert, and his performan . ce neither disgraced my judgment, nor caused me to regret my "fondness." Were the race to be rum over again next week, and we re W e ll s t o r id e to different orders and display more patience than he did on Tuesday last, I should` expect to see St. Hubert " turn the tables" on Lord of the, Isles. His chance for the Derby is cer tainly not 'yet destroyed. Still I have no wish to underrate Lord of the Isles, whose running showed that his trainer's opinion bf his ability was sound, and was not regulated by " boastings and bounCe.7 William Day has reason to rejoice iu the triumph of his horse, for it removed suspicions and.aspersions which had been hastily and unwarrantably heaped upon his character. I cordially acknowledge the care and ability with which the horse's preparation had been conducted, and the honesty of purpose which actuated all parties connected with him, L"~.~- 2 r P RICE SD. NAVAL A,ND MILITARY INTELLICIENCE. The roadstead of , Portsmouth harbour again presents almost as imposing an appearance as it did before the departure of the yan of the Baltic fleet. The Falcon, 14, Commander Pullen, returned from the westward yesterday, and the Cornwallis, 60, arrived from Devon port, making at Spithead the following force :—Nep tune, 120 ; St. George, 120 ; Calcutta, 84 ; and Power ful, 84—sailing ; Hawke, 60 ; Cornwallis, GO ; Pew• broke, 60 ; Hastings, 60 ; Russell, - 60 ; Cruiser, 17 ; Falcon, 14; Centaur, 6; and Rosa(nond. 6. The Retribution, 23, Captain Fisher, flag of Rear- Admiral Baymes; third i❑ command of the Baltic fleet, will be ready td :join on Monday. and the Malacca, 17, Captain Fargul)ar, will be refitted and undocked on the same (lay, These comprise all the ships fit ' ting at Poitsinouth for the war service. Ail the newly-converted 'are now at Spithead ; but the whole of the force eutinwated is helplessly short-banded. How ever, this is not the fault of their captains, for the blocksbips might have been twice inamned by this time, had they been permitted ,to receive volunteers, which the Lords`of the Admiralty have not allowed them to do. Such partial crews as they have on their hooks, therefore, are the "sweepings" of Tower-hill and such resorts, and exhibited a woful picture of inanition from sea sickness on their short voyages from the Nore or Plymouth to Spithead, and this, too, is shared by the raw levies of Marine with whom they have for the most Part been supplied. Upwards of 2,000 men are needed to man the ships above enumerated. Mr. Murdoch, chief engineer of the Ist class, lately serving in the Sanspareil, 70, is appointed resident engineer afloat, at Constantinople, with an addition to his pay of 551. lie . per annum. Mr. Robert Jago, chief engineer of,the Ist class, is appointed to the Sanspariel, vice Murdoch. THE The General Screw Company's steamship Indiana, Captain Lambert, lately employed in the French trans port service, but now engaged by the British Govern ment has been fitted at Southampton for the conveyance of horses. She is capable of providing accommodation for 225, boxes for 150 being arrayed on her lower deck, and the remainder on her maindeck. The Indiana will leave Southampton for Woolwich on Tuesday next. The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Orinoco, which has rendered valuable service in the conveyance of troops to the Crimea; is still undergoing repairs and alterations at Southampton. It is expected that she will be ready for sea about the commencement of July. The Orinoco is to be fitted with new paddlewheels of considerably less dimensions than those previously be longing to the vessel. The Saldanha, one of the Black Ball line of Austra lian packets, but which has been fitted up at Liverpool as a hospital ship, left that port on Thursday for Cork, on her way to the Black Sea ; and yesterday the Great Tasmania, a fine clipper ship, also belonging to Messrs. James Baines and Co., and which has been fitted as a hospital ship, sailed from Liverpool for Portsmouth, where she will receive troops and stores. If not required to remai❑ at Balaklava, they will return to England with invalids. The principle of private enterprise, which has proved so signally successful in connexion with the railway at Balaklava, has been acknowledged in the de spatch of these vessels, Messrs. Baines and Co. having contracted with the Government to feed the troops on the outward and homeward passages at so much per day. Ile screw steamer Alps, belonging to Messrs. Burns and Wlver's Mediterranean service, but which has been occupied as a troop and store-ship since the war broke out, will sail to-day from Liverpool for Woolwich, where she will take on board heavy artillery and shot, besides men and horses, for the seat of war. Yesterday shipments of stores on a very large scale for the hospitals at Scutari and Smyrna, the Turkish hospital at Eupatoria, and the medical staff attached to the army in the Crimea, took place at the Tower-wharf. The stores that have already been shipped consist of bedsteads and bedding, water-pails, blankets, sheets, hosiery, lint, bandages, linen, preserved nourishing foods, tourniquets, and other surgical instruments. Very large supplies of medicines, &c., have also been shipped. NOTICE. THE DUKE of BUCKINGHAM'S ME SICIRS of the COURT and CABINS I 0 of GEORGE 111., from Original Family Documents.

London: Blackwood. Edinburgh: Menzies. "In these poetical effusion's the anther has attempted a high flight, and if he has not attained the standard of excellence of those great poets he has adopted as his models', his, at any rate, will not be the fate of Icarus. Many portions of the work are highly poetical and quite refreshing, after the trash, miscalled poetry, with which the literature of the country has recently been flooded," &c.—Bristol Mirror. "Mr. Weymouth is a Somersetsbire poet, who has gained repute by former productions. This volume is in three books, comprising a succession of pieces descanting on the beautiful lights and happy sympathies which stream through the heart of a poet who is alive to the charms of nature and the better influences of humanity, evincing amiable, earnest, and well-directed feeling."—Bristol Mercury. " It cannot fail to establish your reputation as a poet."—Author of the " Marriage Offering," &c., &c.

After the race for the Newmarket Stakes, 7 to 1 was taken about De Clare. 1,000 to 500 betted between him and Kingstown. The sport commenced to-day at twelve o'clock, and was limited to four races,-the principal event being the Newmarket Stakes ; but so denuded was it of strength and interest by the number that paid forfeit, that it will suffice to state De Clare beat Polydore, the best of the three competitors he had to meet, by three-quarters of a length. Whether the "form" be good enough for the Derby time will show. An hour after the last race a special train left for Lon don, and the journey was very satisfactorily performed in about two hours and a quarter. --- • EXTRAORDINARY SINGLE WICKET MATCH AT CRICKET. —ln the morning two well-known Turfites, Mr. R. H., of York, and Mr: J., from the neighbourhood of Rich mond, Yorkshire, played a single wicket match, the con diti3ns of which were five games of two runs a game, 251. each game, and 1001. the main ; Mr. H. to bat, Mr. J. to bowl. After the first hit in the first game Mr. H. laid his opponent 200 to 100 he should beat him. The betting brotherhood mustered numerously, great interest was excited, and each side was backed for a good deal of money. The fourth game placed them 2 and 2 ; 6to 4 was then betted on Mr. H. The fifth game was opened, and from the fourth ball one run was obtained. The greatest anxiety was now manifested by all parties. With the second ball afterwards Mr. J. found his wicket, and the match consequently termi nated in his favour by 1 run. In stakes and bets he won upwards of 5001. The same parties are to play a similar match on the Thursday of the Second Spring Meeting. The Chelmsford Chronicle states that a deputation from. the Royal Agricultural Society inspected on Thurs day the sites in that town, proposed to be occupied at the next annual meeting of the society, and that they expressed themselves as much gratified, observing that the meeting there might, with good management, be made the best the society has ever had.

Recruiting for the City of London Regiment of Militia progresses so favourably that the corps has been placed under orders to be held in readiness for garrison duty. It is expected the regiment will remove to Woolwich in the early part of next week, where it will remain until sufficiently strong to relieve the garrison of the Tower, the 94th Regiment being under orders for the Crimea, and the detachment of the Guards being required for duty at Windsor. . , The Anglesea Militia, which was temporarily reduced to 34, is gradually recruiting its numberß, several•of the men have been reattested. The present strength of the corps is about 100. - The Royal South Durham Regiment, the numbers of which have been recently reduced by the great majority of the men homing claimed their discharge, is filling up steadily. At present it musters 210 men, and recruits are coming in every day. It is believed that when the strength of the regiment reaches 300 it will be marched to the camp at Aldershott from Barnard Castle, where it is at present billetted. ADMINISTRATIVE _REFORM. (From the Times of this day.) There is a movement iii the City for an object which may be considered as novel, though the matter is old. That, however, is the character of all our modern disco veries. They are the application of things old and &m . liar to new and unexpected purposes. Such was the Application Of coal to lighting, steam to locomotion, elec tricity to communication, and the light of the sun to por trait-taking. Then what is the old agent, the familiar power or the vulgar material, which it is proposed to turn to a new account ? There is in this country, and particularly in this metropolis, a great deal of old Eng lish stuff either lying about or employed for merely pri• vate purposes, in the shape of practical talent. It is called talent for business, ability, or common sense com bined with experience, and it is either acquired or much improved by the management of difficult, complex, or critical affai rs . Wh en a man h as a good stock of it amongst us and the proper• opportunity, he very natu rally sets to work to make his fortune, looking . around him to seethat others are sleeping while he is Waking, or amusing them Selves while he is working, or blind to the opportunities which he has the sense to see. • So he sets to work in the true mercantile spirit, turning things to his own account. Why should he not ? It is his duty to do so, especially when his own profit is only a small percent age of a much larger benefit procured for the public. The vast wealth of this country, and that fertility of re sources which enables it to go on for ever making up for f the greatest losses, is owing to the great abundancieso. this practical talent among us. In arts and acoompl borrowti meths we fall behind some other nations much so ph y of an our d ee h t e a l s a t r e e h fr i p o from fromthe tFhree Germans,n ch,m u r ch h ; o e f twoeviure j p u h s itlloy administrative ta,lentftas it is sometimes for rea I ly, after all, we pride ourselves upon our capacity fobeauslilendes.s—Toa must be a peculiarity among us, t subtle as the Italians, but we are Yes, we are a nation are not so industrious as the Du eh et r i l manufacturers, and shopkeepers. what than the raw material on of shopkeepers.

It is hereby notified that her Majesty's Government has received information from Captain Watson, R.N., commanding a squadron of her 'Majesty's ships in the Baltic, dated "Her Majesty's ship Impdrieuse, off Libau, April 18, 1855," to the effect that on and from the 17th day of April, 1855, and in the name of her Majesty and of her ally his Majesty Napoleon 111., Emperor of the French, the Russian port of Libau, on the coast of Courland, was placed in a state of strict blockade by a competent force of her Majesty's ships and vessels ; and that on and from the 19th of April, 1855, all Russian ports, Toads, havens, and creeks, from lat. 55 deg. 54 min. north, long. 21 deg. 5 min. east, to the Filsand Lighthouse, in lat. 58 deg. 25 min. north, long. 21 deg. 50 min. east (including especially the ports of Sacken baum, Windau, and the entrance to the Gulf of Riga), were also placed in a state of strict blockade by a compe tent force ; and it is hereby notified that all measures authorised by the laws of nations and the respective treaties between her Majesty and her allies with the dif ferent neutral Powers will be adopted and executed with respect to all vessels which may attempt to violate the said blockade. RAILWAY TRAFEIC RETURNS. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE PAST WEEK. , - any other reason than fitness for the work to be done. So, in the language of the enthusiasts we refer to, "the true remedy for the system of maladministration which has caused so lamentable a sacrifice of labour, money, and human life is to be sought in the intro duction of enlarged experience and practical ability into the service of the State." This looks a bold move, considering the material now chiefly used in that service. But had the present Lord Mayor given one picture to be engraved by a young artist simply be cause he was his own nephew, or had married his niece; another to a friend's son, or a friend's friend ; another to the son of a marquis ; another to an aged dependent, instead of a pension ; another to a young man of parti cularly pleasant appearance, who could sing a good song and make himself generally agreeable, he might have . stacked up his engravings till be had filled every room in his house, but he would never have entertained an • Emperor and become a baronet. He went on the simple rule of employing those who could do the work well. ' But this, though it sounds simple, and though it is much. done in private affairs, is a sort of discovery in the pub lic ~ e rvic:i. Nay, it has yet to he discovered. It strikes the City people, however, that if the public business were to be managed in the same way as a good private business it might be found to answer at last. At . all events, the exclusion of the right stuff is enough to account for the failure. As they say, simply enough, "The exclusion from office of those who possess in a high degree the practical qualities ilece,sary for the direction of affairs in a great commer ou i cial of sons and nephews, young betrayal ae4 nctfryit,iBirlaterreeSfiteSe."'io\n‘ruhartliet)s..:;l-njteecltligtoeniesen'otkdthae ham , sitne young gentlemen, or men of Had this hut the employment of those simply fur being such, and - good, noblemen, property business, r o e r qu be ir in ii g ig d t is h p e , i ) i s i od to to k know it. anything about the apt i o swar tt'ol not ybob been ea h c nn a o v n ae company, or a railway company, it would not have time. sure onao et and andlt w d money-getting business, a ship selected for its superintendent, at a time of great pres- ' efi l d os e ee r nd l y t tgentleman, as i tisg argoeonmt a to m m aoarntptyhr principal station a man who refused to attend to the most press ingmotehnesresmerasvasnatsndof complication p e l o ica rnßa tio n : o w f wants of the business, and who drove away all the him to be "bored."

It would have done its best to simplify the routine of the service, and Would even have dispensed with that routine whenever it stood in the way. Its principle would have been to look to success, instead of postponing all thought of success to a blind regard for routine. The only principle discoverable in the actual conduct of this un fortunate war has been to employ just the men, just the ships, just the material, just the forms of opera tion, that would prevent success. We could name a dozen officers employed who would spoil any business. They would hang as a dead weight on the enter prise, clog its wheels, or throw them out of gear. We know not how better to describe the prevailing charac ter of the agency employed than by an illustration from the land of blunders. There was a certain Irish com pany for working a coalfield, the produce of which some how or other would not sell in the market, it was so bad. The directors met time after time to devise means for forcing the coal on the reluctant public, but in vain. At last a nobleman of equal candour and wit proposed a resolution that every proprietor should agree to keep two tens of the coal in his house, for, he added, with much emphasis, "if a fire sh ou ld by chance break out in that house, the company's coal would be sure to put it out." That is the only use we see for the crowd of incapables, and impracticables, and incorrigibles em ployed in the conduct of the war. If any private busi ness should be too enterprising, too go-ahead, too likely to spoil its proprietors 'by extravagant profits, then we are sure that the mere presence of a few Government employes .would be pretty sure to extinguish that dan gerous vigour. The following resolutions are to be proposed at the meeting for administrative reform at the London Tavern, on Saturday, May 5, at 12 o'clock for 1 precisely : " That the disasters to which the country has been sub jected in the conduct of the present war are attributable to the inefficient and practically irresponsible management of the various departments of the State, and urgently demand a thorough change in the administrative system. " That the true remedy for the system of maladminis tration which has caused so lamentable a sacrifice of labour, money, and human life is to be sought in the introduction of enlarged experience and practical ability into the ser vice of the State. " That the exclusion from office of those who possess in a high degree the practical qualities necessary for the direc tion of affairs in a great commercial country is a reflection upon it; intelligence and a betrayal of its interests. " That while we disclaim every desire of excluding the aristocratic classes from participating in the councils of the Crown, wo feel it our duty to protest against the pre tensions of any section of th© community to monopolise the functions of administration. " That an association be now formed to promote, by all constitutional moans, the attainment of administrative re form. " That the association be waled the Administrative Reform Association, and that the following gentlemen, with power to add to their number, be appointed the com mittee, to collect funds, to prepare an address to the cou stituents of the United Kingdom, and generally to carry out the objects of the association." .111 - 4RKET NE WS-(THIS DAY.)
