Although somewhat limited in its range, speculation on the Derby daily increases in significance and import ance. The " operations " of the presumed cognoscenti in turf tactics are watched with eager and deepening interest, and the fact of two " dark horses " occupying prominent positions in the betting has caused them to be regarded with peculiar caution. The decline of Grm culus Esurieus was rather sudden, albeit not unexpected, for popular prejudice ran high against him. People are slow to believe that he is the extraordinary animal that report describes, and entertain suspicions that Scott's lot comprises a more formidable Derby candidate. They who have closely watched the market and the tendency of speculation, seem hardened in their hos tility to the " Greek," in consequence of the in creasing and spirited opposition which he en counters from a certain noble lord. The prejudice which is entertained against Grwculus Esuriens, how ever, is perhaps scarcely warranted. In consideration of the large sums of money which have unquestionably been invested on him, I am induced to believe that his party had cogent reasons for deeming him a superior animal, and that they were not merely using him as an instrument to deceive and blind the public. Report states that prior to the last Goodwood Meeting, while Scott's horses were located at Leatherhead, Greeculus was most satisfactorily tried. The truth of this rumour lam unable to determine. Experienced judges who then had an opportunity of seeing the horse at exercise were certainly disappointed and dissatisfied with his appearance. He was described as being fiat, narrow, slack loined, and what not. A. letter of advice, which I have recently received from Malton, informs me, however, that he has much grown and improved, and that he is, in the expres sive language of my correspondent, "as long as a church." The little cob-like Bonnie Morn leads him his gallops, and it is said that two of his strides are not equal to one of Gmculus Esuriens. Notwithstanding the partiality evinced in certain influential quarters for De Clare, I am inclined to place him under suspicion. That he is touched with the constitutional weakness belonging to his dam's progeny it is reasonable to suppose, and an animal of whose staying powers doubts exist is not the best to trust in a severe race over the Derby course. De Clare's easy victory over Dirk Hatteraick at Doncas ter was almost as great a surprise to his "stable" as to the public. Besides, Dirk Hatteraick was then shin sore, and some pounds inferior to his proper form. The importance which is therefore attached to this per• formance is scarcely justified. Bonnie Morn is undoubt edly a good little horse, but not quite good enough to win the Derby. Some people fancy that after ail he will be found on the day the best of Scott's lot. At present Ido not entertain this opinion. I have no groat partiality for small horses over the Derby course, al though the "pig," Daniel O'Rourke—an animal much inferior to Bonnie Morn•—succeeded by a fluke in win ning the blue ribband and the turf. The " dumpling" Tadmor —a little horse, somewhat of the make and shape of Bonnie Morn—ran third, and other small horses have finished in forward positions. Aurifer has been talked about, and " long shots" have been fired at others com prised in Scott's lot, but a probability exists that they will not put in an appearance when the muster roll is called. London & N. Wc. , st. L.SL'IsT. W. Oaledon... From the statement made by the counsel for the prosecution, it appeared that the offence was conmitted on Sunday, the Bth October. Gt.Nrthn. daldonian. James Joles Moore, an exciseman, stated that he went to the house kept by the defendant in Fetter-line. It was a beer shop. He went there, in cotsequence of information given to him by a City policeman, about half-past ten on the morning of the dai in ques tion, accompanied by two other persons. Havbg gained admittance we called for a quartern of gin. The wife of Phillips supplied the gin from a bottle talen from a cupboard. Fourpence was paid for the gin. The police man who accompanied him, after having the gin, sug gested they should have a pipe and some beer. Phillips then asked his wife if the room was ready, and they were taken to an upstairs room, in which were Qitoons and seats. They were in the house about fifty uinutes, and during the time they were there eight pen and two children came in. Phillips let them out, aid in doing so he saw other men drinking in the tap-rom. Phillips was then told that an information would ae laid against him for retailing spirits without a license. Mr. lughes subjected the witness ;o a lengthened cross-examination, with a view to show that the gin was given, not sold. Gt. Weso ,Yk. New. Ber vv. Y.&N111 Do Do S. Easton Do Pet° &Co. Norfolk..

Joseph Spettigue, a printer, said he accompanied Mr. Moore and the policeman on the day in question. He knocked at the door, and on gaining admittance called for a quartern of gin, and was served by Mr. Phillips. He paid fourpence for the gin. They then went up stairs and had some porter. While there, he saw Phil. lips replenish the bottle from which he had pre viously given them the gin with a liquid that had the appearance of gin. He worked on the Lambeth, and Southwark Advertiser. The office is at G, Hight-street, Newington-butts. Mr. Hughes then addressed the magistrate, and called evidence to prove that the gin was given them in a friendly way. ltWestn. Witnesses having been called, Mr. Henry said the Act of Parliament empowered him to fine Phillips 50Z., but he should mitigate it to the sum of 25/. MANSION-ROUSE-(THIS DAY.) THE ALLEGED FRAUDULENT AGENCY FOR CONVEYING GIFTS AND MERCHANDISE TO THE CRIMEA. Shortly before one o'clock at the Mansion-house, Mr. Parry, the barrister, appeared before Mr. Alderman Wilson and Sir Robert Carden, to make a statement upon behalf of Mr. Wardroper, against whom certain statements had been made by Mr. Aldridge, a gentle man of high standing, in alleging that Mr. Wardroper had attempted to obtain goods and gifts, and to convey them to the Crimea, when, in point of fact, he had not made any arrangements for se doing. Mr. Parry said that he was not about to make any complaint of the statement which had been made by Mr. Aldridge in this matter, but he could not help thinking that there was some spirit of rivalry at the bottom of it; and it would have been more fair bad Mr. Wardroper been allowed to come forward and hear what had been said against him before an ex-parte statement had been allowed to go forth to the public. He now was present, and he (Mr. Parry) was not going to say anything about the wisdom of the speculation into which he (Mr. Wardroper) had enteral, but merely show the bench that he was not an unprincipled adventurer, but that he courted the fullest inquiry into the matter. He (Mr. Wardroper) was a gentleman of character, and his intentions purely honourable. He was also of good family. Two of his brothers (one now dead) held appointments in the East India Company's service as colonels. One of his bro thers was a clergyman, and he himself, a surgeon, had been the medical adviser attached to the Duke of Richmond. He had thought in this matter that a fair speculation might be carried out, and the persons— those in the Crimea—allowed to reap the benefit of pur chasing goods at a fair profit instead of at the present exorbitant rates. To carry out these views he had sold out property through a Mr. Marsh, to the amount of 1,5401., and had not taken one penny from any one as agency ,or otherwise, to carry on this _speculation. He had settled with a Mr. Galt to buy a vessel, the Sparrow Hawk, to co nvey the goods, and if Mr. Aldridge had chosen to make inquiry he would have found that to be true; and co far from the rooms where the business was carried om being empty, that was not true. He had paid the rent of the place, and would have had more property put - up, but that it being Christmas week when he took the place a pander could not be found ; and that with regard to having ad vertised for clerks to make a deposit he had only done that by way of security, not being acquainted with any other mode of obtaining a surety for them. In conclu sion, he (Mr. Parry) begged to say that his client had lost about 3001. by the matter, and no doubt would now be unable to further succeed in the speculation. which, although it might ba a foolish one, was at least began and intended to be carried out in an honourable manner. The steady support which St. Ifubert receives indi cates considerable confidence on the part of his backers. Still the " General " pooh poobs his pretensions and Clears up gallantly Sir Oulston. The public performer ce.-tainly has the fairer claims to support. Still, Oul stou's running for the Clearwell was, notwithstanding his rumoured unfitness, sufficiently unsatisfactory to raise doubts as to his alleged racing ability. The in vestments on him and his stable companion, however, are numerous and heavy. On Thursday last Captain W. backed him for a "monkey" at 6 to 1, whilst the owner looked on complacently. The layer was Mr. Bond, whose odds were certainly liberal, considering the relative prices at which both horses were quoted. Lord of the Isles proved himself at Goodwood to be a youngster of no ordinary promise. The display which he made of his racing powers was at least indma tire of much future excellence ; and this circumstance, and his indisputable good looks, induce me to regard his chance for the Derby as somewhat formidable. The position which he occupies in the betting is unquestion ably his by right of merit. The same cannot with justice be said of certain other horses who now figure prominently in the returns from The Corner. Rifleman is unquestionably a game horse, with a good turn of speed. His running for the Nursery at Goodwood, and his subsequent performance with Bon nie Morn, proved that he possessed that quality in an eminent degree. Still, I entertain no sanguine expec- tations of his Derby chance. The " Squire" is, how, ever, confident, and talks as if the race was over, and the 'victory recorded in favour of Rifleman. Dirk Hatteraick's running last year was, at least, uncertain, and afforded no trustworthy criterion of his alleged racing powers. His supporters boast loudly about his merits, which I am inclined to believe are somewhat slender. The fact of the Newmarket touts entertain• ing a partiality for Polydore is sufficient to create a prejudice against that horse. Polydore, I confess, possesses no attractions for me. His performance for the Clearwell showed him in his best form ; but if he and Oulston were again to meet over the same ground, and the same weight, which would be the favourite ! The Cruiser makes steady headway, notwithstanding the strong tide of opposition which occasionally sets in against him. He is somewhat small, but not badly shaped. I shall not be surprised to see him ultimately occupy a prominent place in tho betting. Wild Dayrell I shall class among the `.`dangerous outsiders." THE DERBY HORSE for 1855, is the title of a care fully-written pamphlet on the subject which now occu pies so much of the attention of turfites. The author, " Gilbert Gurney," states his opinions clearly, and in a straightforward manner, and has evident confidence in their soundness. He sums up his argument with the somewhat striking declaration, that, "if he comes to the post all right, Rifleman will win the Derby of RESH MAN. 1855 !!!" A F January 13. Sir R. Carden asked Mr. Marsh, the auctioneer al luded to, if there was any mortgage upon the property which he had sold for Mr. Wardroper Mr. Marsh said there was, for 1,1001. out of the amount it had sold for ; but he was bound to say that Mr. Wardroper, who was a man of good family and re spectability, had expected that the property would realise him above 1,0001., after all claims upon it had been settled. After some discussion, Mr. Alderman Wilson said that he was glad that the Matter had been brought for ward, and that the public were indebted to Mr. Aldridge for having done so. The public would now have the entire case before them, and if they forwarded goods through Mr. Wardroper's agency it would be with their eyes open. Mr. Aldridge denied that he had been instigated in the matter by any spirit of rivalry, and was about to enter into some further explanation, when Mr. Alderman Wilson stopped him, and said that af ter what had transpired the matter must now end. The parties then retired.

MEETING OF LIEIOHBLACKS.—There are four societies in London for employing boys from the ragged schools as shoeblacks post ed in the streets. On Thursday even ing all the boys, m ore than 130 in number, were assem bled at a united tea-party in the lesser hall, Exeter-hall, and as they were d reseed in their respective uniforms, red, blue, yellow, anti dark blue, the scene was one of unusual interest. The hall was profusely decorated with flags and other ornaments, and very soon filled by a large number of ladies and gentlemen. The Earl of Shaftes bury presided on the nccasien, and expressed the high satisfaction with which he regarded the rapid progress of this movement. These societies were at once educa tional, industrial, and reformatory, and they exercised an influence through some 50 ragg ed schools over a large and important, but hitherto neglec ted, class of the people. Tire first formed society (the boys of which wear a red uniform) had succeeded so well, and had established its financial position so sa tisfactorily, as to induce the formation of three ether bodies, all conducted on the same plan and for similar purposes. Thus the number of the shoeblacka in London had been doubled during the last six months, and seven or eight other towns had also begun to employ them. The earnings of the boys of the original society were stated to be 10s. a-week, even at this, the most unfavourable season of the year; and by their healthy and cheerful appearance it might be judged how well they were cared for and instructed. Several hymns were sung in chorus, accompanied by the organ ; and after addresses from one or two friends of the institution had been listened to, a testimonial, in the shape of a handsome silver-topped cane, was pre sented by the boys of the red brigade to their superin tendent. The shoeblacks, preceded by their banners, and loudly cheering, then marched off to their dormi tories, and the meeting dispersed, every one being greatly pleased with the good behaviour of the boys, and the evidence thus afforded of the results of religious and moral training when combined with active industry, At the meeting of the proprietors of the East and West India hold yesterday, the directors dividenddeclareda Docks C on o lp f3 a3 31. per cent., free of income tax, for the half-year, and payable on and after the 15th inst,; and stated, that after paying the dividend, a large ba lance of profits would remain tp meet contingencies which might be expected from the increase of business, &c. FIRE AT THE LONDON GABWORKS.—Yesterday after noon a fire broke out at the London Gasworks, which at one time threatened most disastrous results, not merely to the works but also to the neighbourhood. While an immense gasometer was being filled, a portion of the metal flew off, and the gas, becoming ignited, blazed up to such a height as to fire the wooden bridges that ex tended over the gasometer. The men belonging to the establishment went to work in an admirable manner to extinguish the fire ; but, unfortunately, whilst some of the hands were conveying a heavy ladder towards the gasometer, it fell violently on the chest of a man named Clarke, breaking his breast-bone and otherwise severely injuring him. Some hours elapsed before the fire was subdued. The manager of the works estimates the quan tity of gas constimed at between 40,000 and 50,000 f ee t. MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—Among the more striking groups in the exhibition is, perhaps, the pre sent war group, as it seems to attract the chief atten tion of the numerous visitors. The figure of Oiner Pacha is particularly striking, and we understand, from competent judges, it is an admirable likeness. That of Lord Raglan is also highly creditable to the artists em ployed. The whole appearance of the great room is greatly improved by the removal of the orchestra, which not only considerably adds to the general effect, but the musical powers are considerably enhanced. Men are actively engaged, says the Constitutionnel, in making roads at the camps of the North. The ground in and near the camp at St. Omer has been so completely drained that it is now as clean ascaanyst, and other things calculated thankstigsn to the care of the Empero r, the s m o f l o d r ie ts r . s ha T v h e e ev c e a r m y p k s in o d f o ca f l e c n u j l o a y te m d en to increase enjoyment, such as a Wimereux and Honvault have also completed their theatres, and that at Equi hem, whi ch was blown down by the late gales, will be s hortl y re paired , Each of the their theatre, c o cafes, camps will have two representations; a-week.

Cocoa Nut Oil from the political news has been unsaleable, but as sales have not been forced prices have undergono little attention, 48s to 49s being the latest nominal quotations.

ARRIVAL OF THE PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 11.- 1 -The wheel steam-frigate of 467 horse-pi T. Jones, arrived at Spithead earl• the Crimea and Malta. She left December, arrived at Gibraltar Jan. 4, and loft on th I 6th for England. This ship, it will be recollected, suf fered most severely from the effects of the great gale in the Black Sea, when so many transports were lost or disabled. She bears evidence of the severity of the trial to which she was put. When the gale was at its highest, the transports (No. 1 and 2), Pyrenees and Ganges, came down upon her in company, having fouled, and within the space of a minute her three masts, bow sprit, and figure-head were all carried clean away. It was a matter of astonishment that the ship did not go down from the concussion. That she did not is mainly owing to the presence of mind cf Captain Jones and the efficiency of his officers and crew, joined to the fact that the Sampson had steam up in anticipation of the gale, and by which she was enabled to force her way between the two transports, separating them from each other. The crash is described as being terrific. The Sampson has come under jury masts, put into her at Malta, and in place of her own figurehead she had mounted at her bows the figurehead of the Ganges, which was left by the latter vessel on board the Sampson at the time of the crash. In addition to these injuries from the violence of the weather this ship has a number of shell and cannon shot marks which she received at Odessa and Sebastopol. She is, however, still a noble ship, and will well repay the cost of a refit. She has come home without her guns. Two of them were landed at Balaklava for the use of the naval brigade before Sebastopol, and the other four were left at M a lt a f or any serv i ce f or w hi c h t h ey may be required. The boilers of this ship require repairs, but she still has made a fine passage home, averaging about.lo knots per hour from M a l ta. I t i s expecte i t s h e will be sent to Woolwich for repairs. The Spitefu:t and Ardent were at Malta when she left, and the flee la, 6, paddle•sloop, at Gibraltar. The Malac ca , 14 , screw sloop, Captain Farquhar, had arrived at Gibraltnr from England, and gone on to the Black Sea. On an) Ist of January a large thrceffecker laden with troops was passed—supposed to be the Neptune, 120. The So mpson has brought home 26 wounded and sick invalid s from the fleet, comprising seamen and marines ; also Lieu tenant Rogers of the Arethusa, 50, and Mr. Ker r, mid shipman, from the same ship. One of her ow n lieu tenants, the Hon. M. H. Nelson, was left at Seba stopol, engaged in service in the trenches, with the naval b! rigade. M. Crispi, an Italian avocat, the editor of the 3 taltese paper Stazelta, and expelled from Malta for a 1? 3litical offence, has had a passage to England in the S: mpson. ARRIVAL OF THE AVON. The Avon, steam-transport, arrived in harboi tr this morning from the Crimea and Malta. She has 'lx:ought home 214 wounded and invalided soldiers from e cutari, under the direction of Mr. Tydd, Assistant-Suii ;eon of the 58th Regiment. The officers, all of Wit4 , o2 are wounded, who have come by this ship are Major Mac donald, 92d Regt., aide-de-camp to Brigadier-G eneral Pennefather ; Capt. Buller, Rifle Brigade ; Lieut. i Sayer, 23d Regt.; Lieut. Buller, 57th Regt.; and Lieut. C !urrie, 19th. The Avon has also brought home 25 diet reseed British subjects, seamen of ships wrecked in the 4 ;ale in the Black Sea. These have proceeded to their r espec tive homes. As soon as the Avon got alongsi( le the dockyard those of the sick and wounded who re quired to be taken to the hospital were conveyed th( ‘re on stretchers. They were 17 in number. With tl le ex ception of three, all these were cases of sickness, chiefly diarrhoea. There is a remarkable difference lifitween the bearing of the men who are sick and those wtho are wounded. The latter are cheerful, and joke each. other about their maimed or lost limbs ; but the form ar look quite exhausted, are worn down to skeletons, anid 'wear altogether a most pitiful appearance. The troic.ps re main on board to-night, and will be forwarded .on to morrow to Chatham. The Avon shared in the die struc- tive effects of the great hurricance in the Blacl Sea, Her paddle-boxes are stove in, and her mizenmaist cut a . say. In other respects she is in good cenditio n and order, being much cleaner than the Himalaya ~ VA2 when she came home. The Avon's dates are the same at: those of the Sampson steam-frigate.

ALLEGED MURDER AT OTLEY, NEAR LEEDS. A charge of murdering a man more than eighty years of age was investigated at the White Horse Inn, Otley, near Leeds, en Wednesday last, by Mr. Thos. Brown, of Skipton, coroner. The man who is alleged to have been murdered was named Francis Blessin, and lived in the house of his nephew, Brian Blessin, in Gay lane, Otley. Early on Monday morning a great sen sation was created in that town on its becoming known that the old man had met with his death under circumstances which excited the suspicion that foul play had been used. It appeared from the state ment of a next door neighbour that noises were heard in Blessin's house a little before six o'clock on Monday morning, similar to the sound of a piece of iron falling upon the boarded floor of the chamber. About two hours afterwards Mary Blessin, the wife of Brian Blessin, the nephew of the deceased, informed some of the neighbours that the old man had fallen down stairs, and she believed that he was dead. Some people immediately entered the house, and the deceased was found at the bottom of the stairs, with his back to the wall. His head was covered with wounds, and his shirt was bloody, but there were no marks of blood upon the floor. In reply to a question, Mrs. Blessin stated that the wounds had been caused by the deceased falling upon a fender, which was laid beside him. On going into the chamber blood was found upon the floor and upon the walls of the room ; in a corner of the room also the bed upon which the deceased had lain was rolled up, and blood was oozing from it. A short time afterwards it was observed that the bed had been removed and hidden, but after a search it was found. A constable was sent for, and a more minute search. was made, and some of the clothes of the deceased were found to have blood upon them, and in his nightcap were a number of holes corresponding with the wounds on his head. A hammer was also found, with specks of blood upon it, and a few white hairs. Two medical gentle. men were sent for, and the unfortunate man was found to be quite dead. He had eight wounds on the head, nearly all of which penetrated to the bone, be sides three c on t use d woun d s upon hi s f ace , an d the fifth rib on the left side was fractured. According to the medical testimony the wounds presented ne ex ternal appearance from which a fatal result might have been anticipated. It was the effusion of blood which had caused death. Before the coroner, Mary Blessin repeated a statement she had made to John Smith, superintendent constable, after she had been taken into; custody. She said .that the deceased had always been a great trouble to her ; and on Monday morning she went up stairs to call her younger children, when the deceased accused her of an intention to break open his box. This she denied, and then he threw a shoemaker's last at her, upon , which she took a hammer from the window and struck him four or five times with it. A scuffle took place between them, and he fell back with his head against the wall. She afterwards took him down stairs and wiped the blood of his head. She also acknowledged having hid the bed. After the coroner had summed up, the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against her, and she was committed for trial at the next Yorkshire assizes. THREADNEEDLE-STREET. —The long row of houses on the south side, belonging to the Me p r a c r h t a o n f t T T h a r il e o a r d s e C e o d m l pany, are now nearly clear. The South Sea House is soon to be sold, the price being named at 25,0001., an d then there will remain only a small street which has not been renewed.
