" To the Chairman and Directors of the East India Company. " Du 35, by whichastle, Jan. the 26, H lB a 4 h 9 B4a . " Sir,—As the period i s now approaching when the C A o c r t p l u l s a A n e d t l w 2 a p s V ictoria,susen cap. ded in this country, will expi re , I feel it my duty to bring under the consideration of her Majesty's Government the reasons which induce me to _ recommend the continuation of that law for a farther ■ limited period. " It was with deep regret, that on a former occasion I felt myself compelled to ask for the enactment of this measure, but circumstances have since fully confirmed myneceasdsoitit,edanbdylhecranh aveno doubt Majesty's Government, almost unanimous support which the Bill received i n opinion th a t o thef and its nd coursethe urgentm ra Parliam en t, ma i n l y contr ib ute d to t h e suppress i on of ol effect produced by th e then the rebellious movement which unhappily broke out In this country. " While availing myself of the extraordinary power confided to me by the Act, it has been my earnest en deavour to limit its operation as far as possible, and to confine the deprivation of personal liberty to the cases of those individuals who were actually engaged in treason able designs, or who, by encouraging the disaffected, en dangered the peace and tranquillity of the country. No instance occurred of any arrest taking place except on sworn informations; no person was retained in custody longer than the public safety appeared to require; and although the number of individuals whore it was my painful duty to place in temporary confinement was con siderable, having amounted in all at different times be about 120, yet, considering the extent to which treason able organization had been carried, not only in the me tropolis, but in several counties of Ireland, the number can hardly be said to exceed what might have been anti cipated. " The security afforded by the enforcement of the law, and the conviction that it s p rov i s i ons would only be ap plied against those whose conduct had rendered their detention absolutely necessary, has been felt by the community at large; and the restoratio n o f or d er, i n place of that which for a time was a reign of terror, has been hailed with universal satisfaction. But on the part of those engaged in the late treasonable move ment, no indication whatever of sorrow or repentance for their misdeeds has been observed. Their regret is confined to their failure, and their hopes are direeted to a more successful issue on the first favourable opportu nity; nor is there any reason to believe (and upon this point I have collected information from various persons on whose judgment and local knowledge I could rely) that the recent orderly conduct of the people in the dis tricts where disturbances prevailed or were threatened, proceeds from any improved feeling as regards either the law or the executive government. The total ab sence of support of the authorities in their endeavours to suppress insurrection, the renewed attempt at re bellion in the vicinity of the town where the leaden of the movement were being brought to justice, and the disregard of proclamations requiring the surrender of arms, are facts which indicate that, however the failure of past attempts at insurrection may have weakened the confidence of the disaffected, the feeling which gave rise to and encouraged that movement still remains un changed, and would again become active upon any oc casion that appeared to offer even a distant prospect of success. " Honourable Sirs, " We, the undersigned Proprietors of East India Stock, duly qua lified by law, request that you will convene, at your earliest conve nience, a Special General Court of Proprietors, for the purpose of taking into consideration the accompanying Resolutions, and that ou will be pleased to publish the same with this, our requisition. We have the honour to be, " Honourable Sirs, " Your obedient Servants, "JOSEPH HUME. "ARTHUR J. LEWIS. "J. SULLIVAN. " CHARLES FORBES. "JOHN POYNDER. "GEORGE FORBES. " JOHN BRIGGS. •"CHARLES GRANT. "J. W. GRANAIi." RESOLUTIONS. " That by the treaty concluded between the East Indian a 25th Company and his late Highness Perta ub Singh, Raja of Satfara, the September, 1819, the territories of Sattara were secured to him and to his heirs in perpet , fal sovereignty. That by the supplemental treaty of September, 1839, the said territories were confirmed to his brother Appa sahib, as the next collateral heir and successor, and to his heirs, on the sama terms as specified in the treaty of September, 1819. " That this Court has heard with feelings of the deepest surprise and alarm of the contemplated seizure, confiscation, and annexation, by the East India Company, of the Setters territories, in violation of the rights of the lawful heir ; believing, as this Court does, that such seizure, confiscation,. and annexation would be a most flagrant breach of the said treaties so solemnly entered into and confirmed, would be a disgrace and stain upon the British character, and would se riously weaken the confidence hitherto reposed by the princes and people of India in the justice and good faith of the East India Com pany and of the British Government. " That under such circumstances this Court deems it to be their Imperative duty to declare their solemn conviction of the impolicy and danger, no less than of the Injustice °ranch a aroceeding, and to such iEL y a m m t e , measure."

" It is to secure for Ireland this continued repose which is so vitally essential to her prosperity to protect the country from the renewal of an agitation for objects that cannot be attained, and which for many years has disturbed its tranquillity, scaring away capital, destroying confidence, and ren dering impossible the steady application of industry, that I desire strongly to impress on her Majesty's Go vernment the importance of applying to Parliament for a renewal of those powers which the 11 gild 12 Vict. c. 35 placed at the disposal of the Exectifive Govern ment in Ireland. lam well aware of the grave respon sibility I o incur r teipoun g of fa y hn this ec reh t Majesty'sat I recommendation,venture subjects; t o askan butd for i l he thinkt i t sw i th o extreme r re newal of an Act which infrin ges th e const i tutional rights should fail in my duty if, from any personal feelings of my own, I hesitated to state the facts which I know to be correct, or to recommend the course which I consci entiously believe to be necessary; and if her Majesty's Government should see fit to propose, and Parliament to sanction, the renewal of this Act, I trust that the manner in which it has hitherto been carried into effect, will be an earnest that its future administration will be marked by leniency and justice.

Sleeping-or waking, strange as it may seem, All °le ver poets have the power to dream : The truth of tilts' I oftentimes have shown, In rather carious day-dreams of my own. Shakespere alludes to dreaming in a doze, While Mab, the fairy, INSates the nose. But from the following fancy you will see, That night or day, 'Hs all the same to me. The dream 'in question brought into the scene Prince Albert and her Majesty the Queen. The Queen on Thursday last (you know the date), Had been to open Parliament in state ; And having reached the royal habitation, The illustrious couple joined in conversation. "Sir,' said the Sovereign to the good Prince A, " Did you observe the multitudes to-day, • And did your Royal Highness note with me, How well attired tile people seemed to be." I did," replied the Prince, " and felt right glad To see the people so gcnteely clad ; And more and more this pleasing scene disposes Your humble consort to procure of MOSES. Y our Majesty, of course, is well aware. That MOSES' dresses were the chief ones there." Tes." said her Majesty, "exactly se, THE DRESS OF MOSES We may always know. There's something so superior in its cut, That folks might see it if their eyes were shut. I trust your Royal Highness will not rest, Till in the fa mous s t y l e o f MOSES dressed." "No," said the Prince, "That I'm resolved to be, And pleased I am our tastes fp well agree ; And, by-the-bye, the Princes shall be dressed In Youths' attire, 'Mich all pronounce the beat. " THE EATS OF MOSES Also," said the Queen, "Added a deal of beauty to the scene. Your Royal Highness, as we passed along, No doubt observed them in the numerous throng." " Yes," said the Prince, " I did, nor did I lose The chance of seeing MOSES' BOOTS AND SHOES. hew well they looked —how well they seemed to fit"— " Yes," said the Queen, " that's true. I must admit , And did you not observe the ladies, Sir, How very well they looked in MOSES' FUR?" " Yes," said the Prince, " I did, and I confess, I very much admired their Winter dress. THE HOSIERY I also thought was such As ever royal hands would wish to touch." " Yes," said her Majesty, " I thought so, too ; I noticed it, and quite agree with you. All that we've seen to-day, in my opinion, Proves MOSES' Mart the pride of the dominion."

" No. 208, Piccadilly, London, October 19, 1847. .66 Sir,—lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted with Rheumatic Goat, the suffering from which induced me to try all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe cases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since which I have had no return of the complaint. " I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity may know h•w to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease. " I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, " MICHAEL NASMYTIL" The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic ['ills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the head and face, and all analogous complaints. The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to thent a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours. but re store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection : in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many grateful evidences of its benign influence. Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London, and, by his appoint ment, by all respectable Medicine Vendors throfighout the United Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box. Ask for BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, and observe the name and address of " Thomas Prout, '229, Strand, London," im pressed upon the Government Stamp affixed to each box of the Genuine Medicine.

Matriculated Merisber of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hespital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. is order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in hew many could it be traced to physical diequalifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking !or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, Inve r- cmadenh«lbeettal:rt? th Inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by hit, possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended.

One half the world are desolately single, and the other upposirg them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, er a .ense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em eller the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea at caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un ennprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, end broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set dement.

The person chosen was G.

Some of the members of the Court objected to the appointment, on the ground that some one of the turnkeys belonging to the Compter could be found, who would be fully capable of performing the duties, but it was contended that, as Shackle was ac quainted with the persons of all the metropolitan thieves, a better selection could not be made, and his election was .the result. DETERMINED SDICIDE.—On Saturday, consider able sensation was excited in Cheyne-walk, Chelsea, in consequence of Mr. John Naton, the landlord of the Yorkshi re G re y, h av i ng committed suicide by shooting himself.. The deceased, who was about thirty-five years of age, was •married, and has left a family of 'four young children. It appears that neither deceased, his wife, or potb9y, had been to bed the previous night ; that a few minutes before five o'clock deceased left his wife in her bed-room, and went down stairs, saying that he would shoot himself. He afterwards took a gun, loaded it with shot, placed the muzzle beneath his chin, and pulled the trigger with his right foot. The potboy had at tempted to interfere, but the unfortunate man swore he would shoot him if he did.

We regret to announce the death of Captt tin John Norman Campbell, C. 8., who commanded the Alelam pus, 42, at Mono Video and the East Indic 6, since \larch, 1845. This gallant officer had resig ped the command of Ida ship at Bombay in coniequen tte of ill health, and died at Cairo, on his way home rverlansl.

Mates—William Henry Pym (seniority November, 1848), and Shute Barrington Piers (seniority December, 184 S), passed their examinations for gunnery, at Ports mouth, on Saturday ; Thomas Hutchinson Mangles Martin, acting of the Fury steam-sloop, to bo act ing lieutenant of the Medea steam-sloop, vice Quin, deceased. Commander C. Codrington Forsyth, whose promotion by the Board of Admiralty, from the rank of lieute nant, we gave a fow days since, entered the service in 1827, served in her Majesty's ship Jaseur, 18 guns, Captain Lyons, on the east coast of Africa, for the suppression of the slave trade. He then joined her Majesty's ship Maidstone, 42, Commodore Sir C. M. Schombergh ; from her he removed into the Warspite, 76, bearing the flag of Admiral Sir Thomas Baker. After serving in her a short time, ho was ap pointed to her Majesty's surveying sloop Beagle, under that talented officer Captain R. Fitzroy. Whilst in this vessel he assisted in the survey of the coast of South America from the River Plate to Guayaquil, including the Falk land Islands, &c., and, in coujunction with two other midshipmen, surveyed a distance of 1,700 miles of coast, in a small vessel of 14 tons, without any other assistance. He passed his examination for lieutenant in 1836, and joined her Majesty's ship Pelorus, and then proceeded to India. On this vessel's arrival on the station, a rup ture being expected with the Burmese, he was detached with her boats to Rangoon, and, by his timely arrival, saved the British Resident, Colonel Burney, and the masters of the merchant vessels, from imprisonment. The Pelorus was then ordered to Australia and New Zealand. Whilst on these coasts, Commander Forsyth made many valuable additions to the charts by his surveys, and was sent at the particular request of Sir J. Franklin after a party of desperate convicts who had escaped from Van Diemen's Land; and after a narrow escape of his hie, he saved part of them from destruction. In 1839 he again joined her Majesty's ship Beagle, and for more than two years did the duty of lieutenant and assistant surveyor, in command of her tender, in the survey of BASS'S Straits, without receiving the pay of either officer, and was most handsomely recommended to the Admi ralty by Sir J. Franklin and Sir James Stirling, for his services on the coast of Van Diemen's Land and Western Australia. On the Beagle's return to England, in 1843, he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, and ap pointed to her Majesty's ship Helena, on the east coast of Africa, where he was continually away in command of her boats. On one occasion he captured an Arab slaver after some resistance, with 82 children on board, destined for the slave market at Muscat. In performing this service, nine out of the pinnace's crew died from the ef fects of fever. On the Helena's return to the Cape, the colonists being at war with the Kafirs, the troops, in con sequence of the drought and difficulty of obtaining supplies, were obliged to retreat to the mouth of the Great Fish River, where it was reported supplies might be landed, although it was much doubted from the heavy surf almost always prevailing on this dangerous coast. Lieutenant-General Sir P. Maitland applied to the senior naval officer, Captain R. Gambier, for an offi cer to superintend the debarkation of troops and stores, and survey and report on the coasts, when Commander Forsyth was selected for this service from his knowledge of surveying and lauding on open coast. On his arrival there he found the troops almost destitute of provisions, which he soon succeeded in landing in large quantities, which enabled the army again to advance against the Kafirs; for this service he was strongly recommended to the Admiralty, and was officially informed by their Lordships, through Rear-Admiral Dacres, that they bad made a favourable note of his name. On the arrival of Sir 11. Pottinger and Sir G. Berkeley, the troops again made a forward movement, when Commander Forsyth was requested to proceed to the mouth of the Buffalo, and report as to the possibility: of land. ing stores there. On his w ay thither w ith a sma ll es cort, he was nearly cut off by the enemy. At this place ho was again successful in landing supplies under the most dangerous and difficult circumstances. He was re peatedly recommended through the Commander-in- Chief, Rear-Admiral Dacres, for his valuable assist ance and co-operation ; and again by Sir Harry Smith, who states in his letters to Earl Grey, had it not been for the energy and perseverance displayed by this officer in establishing these landing-places the army must have starved. He was also officially thanked by the Admiral for his valuable surveys of this coast, and the Commissary-General likewise recommended him to the Treasury for the valuable assistance he had ren dered his department during the war. For these im portant services the Board of Admiralty have promoted him to the rank of commander. SHIPS TO BE PAID OFF.

IL Wood, for some time in the W es t Indies, from the coast of Africa, has been ashore half-a-dozen times, and will most likely come home and bo paid off. She was commissioned June, 1846. The Scourge steam-sloop, Commander Wingrove, is on her way home from the West Indies, to be paid off, and may be hourly expected. Some time since she touched the ground whilst the commander in chief Lord Duudonald, was on board; and it has since been ascer tained, from the examination of a diver at Bermuda, that some portion of her keel has been carried away. She will require docking in a home port, to repair these and other defects. The Rhadamanthus, 2, steam-transport, Master Com- PUBLICATIONS. Now ready, price is.

' P O : '• wander Aylen, is ordered to Woolwich to be paid off for re-commissioning. The Alban, 2, steam-transport, Master Commander Bradshaw, is ordered to Woolwich to be paid off into ordinary. The Juno, 26, Captain P. J. Blake, arrived off the back of the Wight, on Friday, but the light winds and dense fog obliged her to anchor, and it was not until about noon on Saturday that she was enabled to get under weigh to come to Spithead. So soon as the wea ther cleared sufficiently for a signal to be seen, the Vic , tory telegraphed her to remain at St. Helen's, where she consequently anchored. The Myrtle steamer then went out to her and took orders for her to proceed to Chatham to pay oFf. The Juno left Valparaiso on the Ist November, and Rio on the 14th December; from the former place she has brought a small freight (101,307 dolls.), which was put on board the Myrtle steamer, and landed at Portsmouth on Saturday evening, and for warded to the Bank of England by Messrs. E. and E. Emanuel, freight agents at Portsea and Portsmouth, to whom it was consigned. The Juno arrived at Valparaiso on the 26th of September from Mexico. with nearly 2,000,000 dolls., with which it was expected as a mutter of course she would come home, as she was over her three years in commission, but she was ordered to transfer it to the Sampson, steam- frigate; and what was more extraordinary, the Juno herself was ordered home immediately afterwards, Various accounts were abroad at Valparaiso as to the cause of this most unfar pro ceeding; it is, however, only another instance of the freight-carrying manoeuvres that have been latterly in practice in the Pacific. Priority of commission or ser vice has been most unfairly disregarded, as it appears that the Juno was on the Pacific station before the Carysfort, Grampus, or Sampson, which have all come home with large freights, had sailed from England." The Constance, 50, Captain Courtenay, will be the next ship from the Pacific, and the Calypso will follow her. Mr. Forster, master, late of the Gorgon, with a few invalids from the squadron, have come home pas sengers in the Juno. Lieut. Tufnell, late of the Juno, had exchanged into, and remains out in the Constance. We understand the Juno is in most admirable order, in the highest state of efficiency, and that during the time of her service of three and a half years she has been a most comfortable and happy ship both for officers and crew. The Racer, 12, Lieut.-Commander Bacon, arrived at Spithead, from I'ly►uouth, on Friday, with supernume raries and to fit for service. The Blenheim, screw guard-ship, Captain Austin, C. 8., has been taken alongside the jetty at Portsmouth, preparatory to going into dock to be altered and refitted. The Arrogant, 46, screw-frigate, has been taken alongside the jetty at Portsmouth. Her lower rigging (wire) has been got over the mastheads, and she is receiving stores, &c. ; amongst which are four new brass 12-pounder guns, for the two 42-feet barges (Lord John Hay's boats), with which she is to be supplied. The Centaur, steam-frigate, Captain Buckle, went out of Portsmouth harbour on Saturday morning, and an chored at Spithead, to receive her powder aed She sailed at four P.m. for Plymouth, where Commodore Fanshawe will join her, and hoist his broad pendant, and receive his final orders for the coast of Africa. The Sidon, 12, steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, C. 8., and the Polyphemus, 4, steam-sloop, Commander Crawford, were at Gibraltar on the 27th ult., waiting the arrival of Sir C. Napier with his squadron, under whose orders both these vessels have been placed. The Sprightly, steamer, 6, Lieutenant-Commander Barnard, was paid off at Portsmouth on Wednesday, for the coast of Ireland. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—For the last three days we have had variable winds with thick foggy weather. On Friday night the fog was so dense that a bum-boat, and several other boats that had been to Spithead in the afternoon, could not find their way on shore, but were pulling about all night. Five o'clock—Westerly winds, with hazy weather. FLAG-SHIPS, AND " HAUL-DOWN" PROMOTIONS.— COLLINGWOOD AND PRESIDENT.—In the promotions of the last few weeks we find those of Lieut. Von Donop, acting commander for four months of the President, flag-ship of Vice-Admiral Dacres, and Gerard Napier, flag-lieutenant for a few months to the Gallant Com mander-in-Chief at the Cape, to the rank of Commander. We believe these promotions are just, and according to the rules of the service, and no one will find fault with them; but after saying thus much we would, with all due deference, remind the Admiralty of a case that calls for the exercise of the same just rule, and that, too, to wards the fl tg-lieutenant of an officer as much distin guished and as deservedly respected in the service as Vice-Admiral Dacres. When the Collingwood, 80, came home from the Pacific she had also an acting Com mander, who had been doing the duty for 18 months. As a matter of course the Admiralty, as in Commander Von DJnop's case, deservedly promoted this officer, but to the surprise of every one, on Sir George Seymour hauling down his flag, Mr. Kynaston, who had served as flag-lieutenant, and who was entitled to his promotion by every principle of justice, as well as by the practice and custom of the service, has not yet been advanced to that rank to which it is hoped the Admiralty will take immediate occasion to prefer him.—United Service Gar. WOOLWICH, FEB. 3.—The Heels steam-vessel, when she went down the river yesterday, in charge of Lieu tenant Robertson, assistant to Captain Austin, C.B, with Mr. Trickett, assistant to the Chief Engineer at Woolwich Dockyard, and Mr. Casely, Chief Engineer of Captain Austin's department, tried her speed at the measured mile at Long-reach, and was found to make on the average 9.8 knots per hour. The engines and other parts being found in good order, she was taken to Sheerness, and her masts and rigging will be made per fect at that port, her ultimate destination being to pro ceed to Devonport, ►here she will be kept in readiness for service. The Conflict steam-vessel is now ready at Sheerness, and will leave on Tuesday next for Devonport. She will take round the men paid off from the President. Previous to the Lord Mayor deciding on a harbour master for the port of London, his Lordship called at the Admiralty to ascertain from the Lords Commis sioners the most eligible naval officer to fill the situation. Their Lordships, on looking over the list of officers lying at the Admiralty, pointed out the name of Captain Caffin, late Commander of the Scourge bomb-vessel, and observed that he was an eligible and :able officer, if he would accept of the appointment, and he now fills the situation of harbour-master to the port of London, vice Fisher, resigned.

Sia,— By way of prologue to the performances of the pre sent yer ir, I shall now essay to give a lucky guess at the fates of the leading stakes and handicaps in the womb of Time, a 3d take a farewell glance at the sporting results of the m etnorable year just passed away ; 1848 must not bo forgo tten, either in the sporting, political, or commer cial wort " I should wrong it To lock it in the wards of covert bosom, When it deserves, in characters of brass, A forted residence 'gainst the tooth of time And razure of oblivion." It has re ad the world a severe lesson, beginning with the gigar t tic revolution of the 24th of February, affecting millions, evading through insurrections, 61neutes, Chartist dcmonst rations, royal flights and abdications, the down fall of ti ro dynasties, each aged 1,000 years, commercial distress, and ending with the minimum revolution or resolution of December 5, at present affecting but one man, but eventually millions. Pope's lines, which speak— " Of ttirns of fortune, changes in the state; Th.o fates of fav'rites, projects of the great ;" arc apropos to the subject in the sporting as well as in the other worlds ; during the past year Surplice and Co. the favou rites of fortune and the ring have had a most tremend( ius run of luck, which if continued this year, will go biard upon the bookmakers. It has cleared off since the Surplice panic of last May, no less than five City and West-enders, independent of many provincial and metropolitan dabblers in the odds. 1848 produced a fair samyie of racers, which I divide into three classes, appending- such weights as I consider would bring them on a par pith one another.

The first two classes are formed of the principal han dicaps rind stakes winners of the past year ; the third shows my opinion of the relative qualities of the Derby nags, ta king my pick of last year(Tadmorand the Flying Dutchman) as the standard o f exce ll ence ; I have also added the distance most suited to each horse. The most notable facts of the past year were the victories of Plat es tcher, Glen Saddel, Peep o'day Boy, Executor, Surplice Cymba. Diplomatist, and Lady Wildair, respectively for the 2,000 Guineas, Metropolitan, Chester Cup, Somerset shire, Derby, Oaks, Suffolk, and Northamptonshire Stakes, and their subsequent defeats in every _instance later in the season, showing clearly the " glorious un certainty of the turf." zou were championr e p d l L i y ce th ( o th b e est decidedly and Chanticleer a n e with out doubt the best mare. horses of of the ili year,B) and Lord Clilden was the elect of fortune, and Lord Eglinton and Colonel Peel her trainbearers ; the Colonel had some pretty pickings from the Goodwood ham, as he likewise had at Newmarket from the first Triennial and Cambridgeshire St(e)akes. Now that I've done with Times's news, I will, 'as sporting counsel to your readers, lay before them my brief of the ensuing season ; in Shakspere's words I can exclaim— " I have been in continual practice ; I shall win at the odds;" and if my past success attend me still, I may hope for the fifth year in succession to name the Derby winner. Foremost in the list of sport stands the Liverpool Steeple Chase, although it's hazardous work to tempt fortune in these ventures, as my only effort for the Wor cester Steeple Chase of last year was correct, I will again essay to select the winner. The following lot include him, or I shall miss the mark :—Chandler, 12st. 21b, ; The Curate, list. 111 b. ; Proceed, 11 st.!lllb. ; St. Leger. 61b. ; Mathew, list. 21b. ; Brunette, list. ; Father Mathew, lOst. 131 b. ; Charm, lOst. 101 b.; Abd-el-Nader, lOst 81b—Dicky Misfortune, lOst 61b—and Jerry, lOst 41b, giving the preferenceto Proceed; the Curate or Dicky Misfortune close up, with Chandler and St. Leger handy. For the Great Northamptonshire Stakes—War Eagle, Bst 131b—Lady Wildair, Bst 61b—Eryx, Bst 61b—Mrs. Taft, 7st 51b—*Sylvan, 7st 51b—*Dacia, ist—Vests, 7st—Abbot of Meaux, sst 51b—Loupgaron, sst 21b— Flycatcher filly, 4st 131b—Goodwood, 4st 101 b—and *ldle Boy 4st, are my pick, those asterisked for choice. For the Tuesday's Riddlesworth—Sister to Ark wright, the Column, Tadmor. The Port—Flatcatcher or Springy Jack. For the Newmarket Handicap—Canezou, Bst 71b— Mrs. Taft, 7st 31b—Sylvan, ist 31b—Kerann, 6st 71b— Westow, sst 111b—Flycatcher filly, sst 31b—Vasa, sst 11b, and Retail, 4st 1 11b; Sylvan or Mrs. Taft for choice. For the Metropolitan Stakes—Surplice, Bst 101b—In hcritress, Est 91b—Eryx, Bst 61b—Canezou, Bst 11b— Limestone, Sst—Flatcatcher, Bst—Mrs. Taft, 7st 21b— Sylvan, ist—Dacia, 6st 111b—Loupgarou, sst 21b — Do-the• Boys, sst—Lugar, 4st 101b—Cotton Lord, 4st 91b—Flycatcher filly, 4st 81b—and Idle Boy, 4st. Ca nezou, Sylvan, Dacia, and Idle Boy, for my loose cash. For the Somersetshire Stakes—Sylvan, ist 21b— Brandyface, 7st flb—Sponge, 7st lib—King Hal, 6st 111b—Loupgarou, sst—ldle Boy, 4st 41b. The first two and the last against the field. For the Chester Cup—Lady Wildair, Est—Dough, 7st 131b—Swiss Boy, 7st 111b—The Tartar, 7st 81b— Blucher, 7st Elb—Mrs. Taft, 7st 21b—Dacia, 7st 21b— John Cosser, 7st 21b—Sylvan, 7st 21b—Vesta, 7st— Joc-o•Sot, Est 111b—Farewell, 6st 101b—Reality, 6st— Honeycomb, Gat 21b—Garrick, sst 81b—Lugar, 4st 101 b —and Loupgarou, 4st 101 b. From the above, at the present moment, I should select Lady Wildair, Blucher, John Cosser, Dacia, Farewell, and Reality. I cannot be more particular in my choice, but will be so at the earliest opportunity. For the 2000 Guineas—Honeycomb, Uriel, Nunny kirk, and Mr. Milner are by far the best—Nunnykirk, if meant, I should prefer. For the 1000 Guineas—Escalade, or Sister to Ark wright, Highland Fling third. For the Dee Stakes at Chester—Elthiron. For tho Derby—Tadmor, or the Flying Dutchman, former for choice. For the Oaks—Escalade or Sister to Arkwright read the best on paper, but there are several capital fillies in the Stakes, to wit—Highland Fling, Mirror, Glance, Farthingale, Quinine, Philippa, and Nina, and it would not surprise me were one of this latter lot to win. Thug ends my brief, although not so brief as it might hare been, take its counsel if your undecided how to act, and in the words of the immortal bard, I say. " Go, make money."—l am, Sir, your obedient servant. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. February 2. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, SUNDAY. The Queen and Prince Albert walked this morning in ,he grounds of the Castle.

NOTICE TO MARINERS. ABERDEEN HARBOUR LEADING LIGHTS. Harbour Office, Aberdeen, Jan. 20, 1849. The Parliamentary Commissioners of Aberdeen U. bour, having taken into consideration the existing regu lation for extinguishing the leading lights when it is dangerous for vessels to enter the harbour, have resolved to do away with the same. Notice is therefore hereby given, that, on a n d a f ter Monday, the 12th day of March, 1849, the leading lights will be exhibited at all times, but that there will be a change in the colour of the lights when it is con sidered dangerous to enter the harbour. The leading lights are of a red colour, but when it is dangerous to attempt entering the harbour the lights will be of a green colour instead of red. By order of the Aberdeen Harbour Commissioners, JOHN ANGUS, Clerk. Observe—The red lights are the ordinary lights, and the green lights the danger lights. The leading lights have no reference whatever to the state of the tides, and are exhibited from sunset to sunrise. QUARANTINE NOTICE. Madeira, Jan. 10, 1849. Sir,—The quarantine regulations here have this day been modified, and vessels arriving from ports of a country in which cholera has appeared will henceforward —if in ballast or with non-susceptible cargoes—receive free pratique after performing five day's quarantine, and eight days' if their cargoes are of a susceptible charac ter; but in no case to be subject to quarantine after the expiration of twenty days from the last port of depar ture, unless cholera or 801110 contagious disorder should manifest itself during the voyage.

The report and accounts were received and adopted unanimously. Col. Dickinson, C. W. Dornan, Esq., and J. H. Barnes, Esq., were reelected directors, and Major-General De la Motto, C. 8., was elected to fill the remaining vacancy in the direction. The 224 shares in arrear were forfeited, and 130 of them immediately taken up by the share holders present.

TRIAL or Ruses.—The Norfolk assizes, at which Rush is to be tried for the murder of Mr. Jermy and his son, commence on the 26th of March. The woman fa miliarly known as the " Widow James," is enceinte, and the probability is,:that at the time appointed for the trial, she will not be in a condition to attend. In case it should happen that at the period mentioned she should be in her confinement, it has been determined by the judge on that circuit, Baron Rolfe, not to postpone the trial until the next assizes in July or August, but to adjourn it for ten or twelve days, as judges have the power to do. It is very unusual for assizes to be ad journed even for a day, but as the" Widow James" is a material witness, and as the whole case excites great in terest in that part of the country, the judge has deter mined to exercise his power.
