Well done, my lad I thou art a noble horse, And well host won the day on Epsom's course. Come let me give thy neck a friendly pat; I will not harm thee, rest assured of that. In vain did Honeycomb and Old Dan Tuck Do what they could to leave thee in the ruck. These didst thou beat, while Vatican and Nunny, • Beside thy noted self looked rather funny. The Crowner thou hest crowned, and Vanguard, too, And preyed how little Chantrey's legs could do. The chattering of The Chatterer thou hest hushed, And even past brave Hotspur host thou rushed. Old Fox and Tadmor, Goodwood and The Knout, Thy nimble shanks have beaten out-and-out ; While o'er the land thy triumphs are rehearsed In these few words—" The Flying Dutchman First." Ah ! gallant horse ! the way the Derby closes, Has furnished'me a thought or two for Moies. First, like thyself, have Moses ever been Whatever may have come to intervene First in the quality of their attire, And first in style—a style which all admire. The Trowsers, Coats, and Vests, of M. and Son Have gained the odds of a successful run ; And all who view the articles will find That competition's efforts lag behind. Thus, Flying Dutchman, have I done my duty, And now a word to those who win the booty : To such successful winners I would say, Improve the winnings of the Derby Day. And if they ask how this may best be done, I'd simply point to Messrs. M. and Son. LIST OF PRICES. 'SEAM MADE.

PEDESTRIANISM. J. BRIAN (OF LONDON) AND J. STEADIKAN (0F EPSOM), SEVEN MILE S , FOR 25 SOVS. ASIDE. — A drive through nine miles of Surrey, to the well-known town of Epsom, on such a day as shone yesterday on the bright spring leaf and the spear-like points of the green crops, that seemed almost to grow under the pleased gaze of the wayfarer, was in itself a sufficient treat, without the journey. This of sport at the end of so pleasa nt a This was our thought as we, being fortunate enough to miss an Epsom train, took to the road at Croydon, and bowled through the park scenery which lies between the place after ak last nm namedalmost nta fo r week's andtesek sadjoining the neate estrangement u l i r t s t e l e t hv from rn its its once-famedlnow so chalybeate spring. Arriv e d i n t h e we ll-k nown l oca li t y newly pointed clock tower, and its l ate l y - t h ronged King ' s H ea d, i much better we were soon made aware that th ere was somet hi ng un usual going on, by the presence of not a few London " particulars," a ditto stage coach, with a most intoler able cornopean, a crowd in th e v ill age -street, and a dozen there, alreadyo f Brian verbal an d by signal. Th e m en were patronizing Amato Tavern, while S tea d man put up . at the White Hart, facin g the house in times past identified with the name of Lumley. The betting was extremely languid; the London man having the call at 3 to 2, then 2 to 1, and 5 t o 2 at l as t offered, "just to give t he la y er a n interest in the race;" but few were found, even at these tempting odds, to ac cept the invitation. In fact the favouritism was absolute, and the rurals would not " back their opinion," though they talked confidently about the "lasting" powers of their townsman. It may be here mentioned that Stead man is a strong, hardy-looking young fellow, 5 feet 11 inches age, and of p ower f u l build. Hampton, in Mar c h 1846, when the Epsom novice , P owell g ave hi m two minutes' start in seven miles. He also %I/9n a snuff-box in a match at Copenhagen House of six miles, defeating Brian, Jaques, Molloy, Dixondefeatedheight, and Diamond, i 2 o e f ar s o f n July of l as t year. In , a match at the Beehive, won by ,j nues, he was, however, unsuccessful. His opponent, Brian, is well known as a surprising ,little fellow, of 5 feet 3 inches, and his de feats of Thomas (10 miles), the Brecknorth Novice (16 miles), Shortland (7 miles), and Wright, at Greenhithe (6 miles), are wall remembered. Between four and five the men went up to the start, on the London road, about a mile and a half from The town, and were qu i c kl y set going. For the first half mile they kept t oget h er at a most extraordinary pace, the little London er ex hibi t i ng a wonderful stride and incredible elasticity; while Stead man, though doing all he knew, appeared, by the con trast of his superior stature, to walk short and hampered. At about nine hundred yards Brian got in front, and soon made a gap of fif t y or sixty yards between them, at the turn of the first two miles (covered by Brian in 16 minutes 9 seconds). The latter was once 120 yards ahead. Steadman smiled and worked amai n , b u t he seemed not altogether in tip-top condition. At four miles (done in 32 minutes 49 seconds) B r i an was 170 to 180 yards first. Five miles were completed under 41 minutes. From this time Stead man's pace s li g htly im proved, and Brian's decreased; indeed, as the latter was more than 200 yards beforehand, there was time and to spare before it was practicable to catch him. At six CRICKET. THE FAST AND SLOW BOWLERS. This match, which was to have been commenced at " Lord's" on Monday, could not be embarked in until Tuesday, in consequence of the extraordinary amount of rain which poured down upon the metropolitan por tion of her Majesty's dominions throughout the whole of the first-named day; and the wonder is, taking into con sideration the clayey soil of the ground, that the opera,. tions could be ventured upon at so early a period afrer the ablutionary visitation. However, the match was opened on Tuesday. It commenced by the " Fast Bowlers' " side first going to the wicket. Wisden and Dean commenced the play. The former was displaced by Clarke, v.ithout having been permitted to place a single run or the paper. He was followed by Parr, who, having made a one and a two, was stumped by Mr. Nicholso•. t from Clarke. Box then came and gave evidence th-,t his practice with the "catapults' had put him gre'Atly in advance of all his companions. He scored. twenty-seven by means of three threes, three twos, land a balance of singles. Dean numbered eleven in three `couples and five ones. Mr. Haygarth was stumped from Clarke without a score. Sherman made six singles, and Mr. Lindow told up 11 by a brace of twos and seven singles. Mr. A. K. George, whom we are glad to see has thrown aside his rheuma tism, obtained twelve, in which number there were a four, a two, and seven ones; Mr. S. Taylor made three singles, and the Earl of Winterton two ditto; Pollit, from Rugby, was got rid of in two threes and two ones-8 in all. The total of this innings was 83. The " Slow " side then went in, and was represented in the outset by the gentleman who has named himself "White head," and Lillywhite. The former made one, when he was bowled out by Sherman; whilst the old man, for merly of Sussex, was released from the use of the bat by Wisden. Chester scored four only, and Guy one. Mr. Nicholson having obtained six ran out; and Clarke was bowled by Wisden for two. The Hon. R. Grimston and Hillyer were both at the wickets when " time" was called, the former with a score of 5, and the latter with 4. Yesterday morning these two operators again took their stations; the match was proceeded with and brought to a . conclusion. The score was as follows: FAST BOWLERS.

The fineness of the day, coupled with the interest felt in the match, attracted a large assemblage of spectators to the ground. In the balcony of the pavilion we no- ticed the following:—Earl Spencer, Earl Verulam, Earl Winterton, Earl of Leicester, Earl Darnley, Viscount Neville, Viscount Dupplyn, Lord Paget, Lord Henry Loftus, Hon. Colonel Lowther, Hon. F. Ponsonby, Hon. R. Grimston, Hon. Captain Stanley, Hon. H. Cavendish, Hon. W. iles, Hon. Captain Elliot, R.N., Hon. C. Lyon, Sir H. Campbell, Sir Woolston Dixie, W.

BRECKNOCK ARMS —The annual rivalry of Cornwall and Devon began on Monday at the above tavern, and was continued yesterday. On the first day Sarthen bank (of Lancashire) and Dyer (Cornwall) played a splendid bout for an hour, which was resumed on Tues day, and terminated in the Lancashire champion's vic tory by a fair back fall. There were thirty-two well known wrestlers entered for the 12 prizes. Boylett (D.) and Thomas (C.) tried three falls, Boylett winning the last cleverly. W. Kemp (D.) quickly grassed Holmas (C.) twice in succession. C. Bowden (C.) and Bucknell, a new Devonian, contested three splendid struggles, Bowden winning the odd fall by the back heel, after a most spirited b nit. Nicholls (C.) defeated Trimlett, sen. (D.), and Webber (D.) was defeated by a new Cor n shman named Sycom%. C. Trimlett (D.) floored Ni cholls (C.), and Bowden, jun. (C.) after 47 minutes, was thrown by J. Trimlett (D.) in pretty style. Bartley (C.) played out time with Verran (D). Hill and Staples contended till the latter was thrown, and the day closed with Sarthenbank and Dyer. On T uesday Sarthenbank won his first match, by flooring Dyer. Several interest ing matches followed, which we have not space to parti cularise, and at night sixteen men remained to play out for the prizes—namely, W. Snell, Boylett, Kemp, Trim lett, sen. and jun., Hill, Bucknell, Hosgood, Bowden, J. Dyer, Sycomb, Stephen, Verran, Bartlett, and Sar thenbank. _ _ CANTERBURY ARMS, LAMBETH. —The play commenced yesterday at two o'clock, the ground being excellently attended. Among the most interesting bouts we may particularise those between Bowden of Cornwall, and Davey, Devon. After 35 minutes of spirited play, in which some excellent attempts and stops were shown, the latter was thrown by the hip. Verran (C.) and Palmer (D.); these men had i hour's hard play, in which extraordinary points were shown, Palmer ulti mately obtaining the victory. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. I Yesterday was appointed by the Royal Thames Yacht Club for a sailing match, the prizes to be contended for being two silver cups, the one for the first class contain int, 80 sovera igns, and that for the second class 40 sovereigns.a Every preparation had been made to render the match a good one. There were 10 yachts entered for the race. The members of the club and their friends had mustered in unusual force, and at ten o'clock a goodly company left the Adelaide-wharf, below London bridge, in the full expectation of witnessing some won derful specimens of fast sailing before the evening had closed. The weather was splendid, and the Star steamer, which had been chartered for the occasion, hastened on its way to Erich Reach, where the little fleet was drawn out ready to start from its moorings. A signal from the steamer warned each craft to prepare, and instantly the crews were seen cluster , ing round the masts, or up aloft in the rigging. Another gun from the steamer, and up went the snow-white canvass like magic, and people crowded to the near side of the Star, and, with breathless anxiety, watched to see the race begin. All declared it to be beautiful to view so many graceful fabrics — floating on the tide and spreading out their ample sails, as seabirds do their wings; but then came the annoying fact, that these sails, so cool, so spacious and inviting, would not fill—that there was not a whiff— not a breath of air stirring—and that what progress each tiny vessel made depended entirely o n the strength of the receding current. Under circumstances so unfavourable the pro vision boat and the collier m i g ht enter into the race with some chance of success, and their ungainly forms were more than once seen mingled up with the light and tapering outlines of the yachts, much in the same manner as an aspiring carth orse will sometimes dash in among the throng of his more thorough-bred fellows at a fox hunt. It was quite in vain that immense gaff topsails spread, and that the river banks were closely hugged, and that every ma nceuvre and expedient was adopted for catching the stray airs of heaven. Even the small pennons at the mastheads refused to flutter, and the match degenerated into a drift. The following list of yachts entered for competition may be interesting, as showing what might have been expected had the wee been less provokingly fine:-- FIRST CLASS. From Fifty to Twenty Tons, both inclusive. Station. Yacht. Tons. Distinguishing Colour. 1 Mosquito s_o ... Blue, with orange diamond. '2 Cynthia 3 Hilda 9 5 . . Blue, with gold star. 4 Secret ..... 25 ... White, with blue border; three 5 Cygnet . .... 35 .. fleur-de-lvs in the centre. Blue ground, with ram's bead in the centre, yellow. 6 Daring SECOND CLASS. Under Twenty Tons to Ten Tons inclusive. 1 Pearl 2 Frolic l2 „Red, with white stripes. 3 Foam 7 ... White pierced blue, with red border. 4 Sea Nymph ..• 5 Whisper izi ... Blue, white, and red. The start took place at six minutes past 12 o'clock, and at a quarter past '2 the little fleet had not reached Greenhithe. When between Grays and that place the Commodore, Lord Alfred Paget, gave the signal for dis continuing the match, and announced that it was put oh till Saturday, the 16th of June. To console the mem bers of the club and their friends for this disappoint ment, the Star, in which they were conveyed, steamed down th e River to w ithin a short distance of the buoy at the Nore. This gave time for the disposal of an im mense accumulation of lobster salads, cold pies, and other provisions, laid in by the forethought of Mr. Gore the caterer for the club. It also tended in some degree, no doubt, to assuage the thirst for marine excitement, w hi c h had on the occasion drawn together so large and 111 comparison with last (we arc glad to add,year) so NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The Arrogant, 36, screw-frigate, Captain Fitzroy, is now lying ready for sea at Spithead. She has every store on board, and she was, we understand, much ad- mired by the Royal party on board the Fairy as she passed through Spithead this day. She has received her shot and shells, and her draft of water, &c., are as follows : —H er li ne o f copper i s muc h hi g h er out of the water than we reported. Aft, from the keel upward, she is coppered 22 feet 7 inches; draft of water, 20 feet; forward she is coppered from keel upwards, 22 feet 1 inch; draft of water, 19 feet 1 inch; her , bowsprit sill, height from water, 10f. midship port, height from water 9f. 51in.; after port, height from water, 9f. 7in. She has 250 tons of coal on board, and a bower anchor and 30 fathoms of chain out. When she went out on Tuesday her funnel was not quite completed, but the men from the factory at Portsmouth were at work all night on board. It is supposed the Arrogant will sail this evening for Gibraltar and Malta, and have two months' cruise in the Mediterranean, when she will re turn to Lisbon, and there await further orders. The Plumper, screw-sloop, Commander Nolloth, will eome into dock at Portsmouth to-day, to have one of her valve cocks repaired, which was broken by accident on board. The dockyard shipwrights at Portsmouth have been at work on board the Mount Stewart Elphinstone, in building additional cabins. She is bound for Melbourne, New South Wales, with 250 convicts, and it is ru moured that the additional cabins are for state prisoners. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY,—The Fairy royal yacht, Commander Crispin, embarked the Court at Trinity pier, East Cowes, this afternoon, about half-past two o'clock, and bore the Royal party to this port, under the usual ceremonies. At the Royal Clarence Victualling Establishment, Gosport, the Royal party was received by Admiral the Hon. Sir Bladen Cape!, K.C.8., the Commander-in-Chief; Major-General Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, G.C.H. ; Rear-Admiral Superintendent Prescott, C.B. ; Captain Superintendent Sir Edward Parry, and the usual other officers of the port and gar rison. The royal train was set in motion by Mr. Gooch, the chief of locomotion of the South-Western Railway Company, and left at 27 minutes to four, in the charge of Mr. C. Stovin, the manager of the company. The Fairy was afterwards docked, to examine her bottom, and ascertain the relative merits of compositions for prevention of the adhesion of submarine excrescences to the bottoms of iron vessels. _ _ _ The Success hulk, 74, is ordered to be broken up in dockyard. THE GIGANTIC PACKET-SHIP CONSTELLATION. The splendid packet•ship Constellation, the largest merchant vessel afloat, having completed the discharge of her ponderous cargo, is now in our docks; and as she presents to those interested in the growing trade of •' the good old town," as yid! as to the many strangers that will visit Liverpool during the present week, a field of attraction that cannot fail to awaken the enthusiasm of unqualified approbation, we subjoin the following notice of her:— The Constellation was built at New York, by Messrs. Westervelt and Mackay, from the drawings and under the personal superintendence of William Skiddy, Esq. Her length of keel is 195 feet; her length over all, 226 feet; her beam measured from ceiling to ceiling, 43 feet; and the depth of hold, 28i feet. Her tonnage, estimated by the customs (or new) measurement, is 1,950 tons, but she possesses capabilities for the storage of nearly 3,500 tons of ordinary goods. It would not for a moment be supposed that a vessel of such giant-like proportions would be completed without a due regard to comparative strength, nor has that important object been neglected. Her hanging and lodging knees are- all cut from Even formed timber, of great thickness and depth in the throat, and each is finished in superior style. The tim bering of the Constellation is excellent, and her sides, with ceiling and outer planking, form one solid, mass. She has no bilge pieces, but the ceiling is from 1 inches to 10 inches in thickness, from the kelson to the d(ringer, which is 14 inches square ; and thus her timbers and outer planking form a sold thickness averaging 3 feet 4 inches. Her kelson and sister kelsons are bolted per pendicularly to the keel, as well as diagonally, and horimtally. The deck staunchtons are kneed to the kelson, and in the upper deck's are'turned as pillars, but well secured by being bolted through an ornamental iron cap. In the fore peak there is an inner bow framing of great strength, and between each of the hanging knees there is a diagonal trussing running reverse from amidships, aft and forward, which adds materially to her longitu dinal strength, and prevents the probability of her be coming " hogged." The Constellation is built of the very best materials, and her bolts and fastenings through out are all square. The appearance of the Constellation when afloat, though magnificent and mighty, is not exactly what would please a connoisseur in clippers; for in order to give her the greatest possible accommodation on deck, which is most advisable in the trade for which she is in tended, the deck beam is carried so far aft that it gives her the appearance of being heavy in quarters; but we had the pleasure of seeing her " high and ry," and found her perfectly the reverse—in fact, if anything, her lines are too fine, and there can be little doubt, from her being clean fore and aft, and sharp without being wall sided (as she is not in sailing trim till drawing 23 feet of water), she will carry a press of canvas that cannot fail to drive her through it. The stem is adorned with a well-carved figure of Commodore Truxton, the com mander of the Constellation, American frigate ; and the stern is relieved with beautiful scrollwork. She has all the modern improvements in rigging, and, from the royalmasts downwards, lightning conductors of copper are let into the spars, and carried through the keel into the water, thus almost averting the possibility of accidents from electric fluid. _ _ _ Many very excellent improvements are introduced for the comfort and convenience, as well as the health, of passengers, which so far exceed the ordinary arrange ments that they merit the highest commendation. The Constt-llatiou has three decks, but, in order to give full light and a free current of atmospheric air, she is con structed with eight hatchways, of capacious measure ment, as well as side lights and ventilators fore and aft. The lower deck is appropriated solely to steerage pas sengers, with the exception of a store-room, which is latticed off. The upper deck is also divided abaft, to form a cabin, wish permanently-erected state-rooms, for the more respectable emigrants, and though this only occupies a small space, being calculated for 80 persons, it is a great desideratum, as it presents an apartment far more comfortable than the cabins of many first-rate ships. The state rooms are large, and are each dis tinctly lighted from the side; some are furnished with bedding, and all with toilet ware, washstand, &c. Down the centre is a long mahogany dining-table, and fitted to it are reversing seats. Each room is painted and grained in imitation of oak, and the whole apartment is symbolic of " home," " cleanliness," and " comfort." The deck arrangements are most admirable. There is topgallant forecastle, and a poop or quarter-deck, while amidships there are erections which are divided into se veral apartments, some of which serve as covered com panion-ways. The passengers' galleys are all separated, so that each department of the ship has its particular allotted cocking-room. In the centre there is a sick bay, fully fitted out, into which invalid passengers may bo removed; another division forms a complete car penter's shop, another an icehouse, a boy's room, rooms for the stowage of coals; and, in fine, every required convenience is presented. From the quarter deck to the houses on deck there is a neat suspension bridge, and forward gang ways to the topgallant forecastle, making her almost a " four decker." Beneath the quarter-deck are the captain's cabin and the ladies' cabin, both of which aro most gorgeously finished, and are not only lighted from the deck but by stern ports. The ceiling is formed into panels by the deck beams, which are finished with neat mouldings, painted in dead white. An architrave of burnished white, relieved with graceful carvings in gold, sur mounts the rich cabinet-work of the room. Pilaster: enamelled in white and gold, with a relief of lake gold caps, and veined marble pediments, form th s c i , :!_t n a: t a es : room entrances.

She is pumped by a double-action machine, worked with two fly wheels. To the same shaft a power ful air-pump can at all times be attached to exhaust any foul air that may have accumulated between decks. It is also applicable to a fire-engine, and from a jet with hose of 75 feet in length an equal stream can be ejected. A visit to this monster ship will repay amply the ex penditure of time, and we feel assured that Captain Luce will exhibit that attention and urbanity of manner to visitors which, with his thorough knowledge of the ad venturous career he follows, has placed him in command of the finest ship afloat. Since Thursday the Constella tion has been visited by thousands; and amongst those on board yesterday was Lord Howard, son of the Duke of Norfolk, in company with Thomoi Sands, Esq., (late Nlayor of Liverpool), and George Brown, Esq., as well as many of our merchants. Lord Howard expressed himself highly delighted. The Constellation is consigned here to Messrs. Spooner, Ina Congregation holden at the same time the fol lowing degrees were conferred:— Masters of Arts—The Rev. Samuel Frederick Big nold, Baliol, grand compounder; James Ed win T.

Andrew Amos, Esq., M.A., formerly Fellow of Trinity College, has been unanimously selected as the successor in this professorship of the late lamented Professor Starkie by the electors, who are the Archbishops of Can. terbury and York, and the Masters of St. John's, Clare Hall, and Downing.. The Cambridge Chronicle, in allusion to this appoint ment, says—" The various grounds of Mr. Amos's emi nent fitness for this chair. are too well known to require enumeration. " Since, however, this professorship has acquired additional importance, in consequence of the scheme fur Professional Lectures lately adopted by the Senate, it may be as well to mention that in addition to other qua lifications, as well personal as professional, Mr. Amos was for five years one of the four members of the Su preme Council of India, and that during this period he h id the principal charge of the self. legislation of that important colony, vested in the Governor-General by the last charter. Since his return from India, he has been a member of the Commission for Revising the Criminal Laws, and also judge during the two last years of a very populous metropolitan district of County Courts. We may add, that ilr. Amos's eminent success as a lecturt r to large law classes in London, at University College, furnishes the best guarantee for the efficient discharge of the more immediate duties of his new office." CONGREGATION. At a Congregation holden this day the following graces passed the Senate:- 1. On the recommendation of the Observatory Syndi cate:— The flat roof of the tower of the small dome of the Observatory being in a defective state, and not water proof, to authorise a contract to be made with Messrs.

FOUR PERSONS DROWNED WHILST BOATING.-- On Sunday last six persons were amusing themselves in a boat on the river running through Norwich. They went up to the head of the river to th e mill-po o l , an d rowed the boat in sport into one of the flushes, then running very strong. They tried this a second time, when one of the party (Thoma s L ane ) was jerked ever. : board; another of the men in the boat leaned over to endeavour to catch bold of hi s companion, and the other parties likewise leaned o ver t h e same aide with the same intention,: when the flush filled the boat and she im mediately sank. Four of the parties sank, and were drowned—their names, Th omas Lane, 16 ; Robert Browne, 28 ; H enry L ane , 23; an d Fraces Breeze, a very fine young woman, aged 19. The two latter were to have been married on the following day. HEROIC CONDUCT OF A BOY UNDER SIXTEEN YEARS OF AGE.—Yesterday afternoon, as three lads were rowing near Blackfriars-bridge, some boys on the shore commenced throwing stones, and while so doing one of them overbalanced himself and fell into the water, and must have been drowned had it not been for the heroic conduct of one of the lads in the boat, named James Armstrong, who, finding that his companions could not row up in time to save his life, stripped off his jacket, and swam to him, caught hold of the back of his head, and thus held him till assistance arrived. Solna genCemen, who were upon the bridge, and witnessed Armstrong's conduct, made a small subscription for him.
