FLYING DUTCHMAN, THE WINNER OF THE DERBY, 1649. Well done, my lad ! thou art a noble horse, And well hast 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 Nanny, Beside thy noted self looked rather ninny. The Crowner thou bast crowned, and Vanguard, too, And proved how little Chantrey's legs could do. The chattering of The Chatterer thou hest hushed, And even past brave Hotspur hiist 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 *ay the Derby closes, Has furnished me a thought or two for Moses. First, like thyself, have Moses e-er been Whatever may have come to intervene : First in the quality of their attire, And first in style—a style which all admire. The Prowsers, Coats, and Vests, of M. and on - • 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. Al. and Son. ' LIST OF PRICES. WILADY Whin.

Her Majesty's presence on Tuesday and Thursday, in anticipation of which the Royal Stand is undergoing the usual course of cleansing and decoration, will, beyond a doubt, insure a great and fashionable attendance. PEDESTRIANISM. J. BRIAN (oF LONDO N ) AND J. STEADMAN (OF EPSOM), SEVEN MILES, 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, with out j the once-famed o than t s between the prospect of sport at the end of so pleasant a ourney. This was our thought as we, being fortunate enough to miss an Epsom train, took to the road at Croydon, and b b e o t w t e l e r d u t n h o r w o u n g i h .or th it e s p ad a jrkoinscing u r ene c r y w s e h eh lies place last n ame d an d th e nea t lit t l e v ill, now so muc h chalybeate spring. Arrived in the well-known locality after almost a week's estrangement from its newly pointed clock tower, and its lately-thronged King's Head, we were soon made aware that th ere was something un usual going on, by, the presence of not a few London " particulars," a ditto stage coach, with a most intoler able cornopes.n, a crowd • in the v ill age - street, and a doaen of recognitions verbal and by signal. The men were already there, Brian patronizing Amato Tavern, while Steadman put up .at the White Hart, facing 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 last offered, "just to give the lay er an interest in the race;" but few were found, even at these tempting odds, to ac cept the invitation. In fact the favouritis m 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 th a t Stead man is a strong, hardy -looking young fellow, 5 feet 11 inches in height, 26 years of age, and o f powerful build. He defeated Powell , of Hampton, in March 1846, w hen the Epsom novice, Powell gave him two minutes' start in seven miles. He also won a snuff-box in a match at Copenhagen House of six miles, defeating Brian, Jaques, Molloy, Dixon, and Diamond, in July of last year. In a match at the Beehive, won by Jaques, he was, however, unsuccessful. His opponent, Brian, is well k nown as a surprising little fellow, of 5 feet 3 inches, and his de feats of Thomas (10 miles), the Breeknorth Novice (16 miles), Shortland (7 miles), and Wright, at Greenhithe miles), are well 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 k ly set going. For the first half mile they kept to ge th er at a most extraordinary pace, the littl e Londoner exhibiting a wonderf u l stride and incredible elasticity; while Stead man, though doing all he kne w, appeared, by the con trast of his superior stature, to walk short and hampered. At about nine hundred yards Brian got in front, and ion made a gap of fifty or sixty yards between them, at the t urn o f th e fir s t twet miles (covered by Brian in 16 minutes 9 seconds). The latter was once 120 y'ards ahead. Steadman smiled and worked amain, but he s erred not altogether in tip-top condition. At four miles (done in 32 minutes 49 seconds) Brian was 170 to 180 yards first. Five miles were completed under 41 rniuutes. From this time Stead man's pace sli g h t l y im proved, an d B r i an ' 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 miles Steadmln was 240 yards in arrear, but he fetched it up by walking very gamely for the last mile, and finished in better style than he began. The time of the winner was 59 minutes 3 seconds, but we did not accu rately take that of the loser, which was stated to be a few seconds under the hour. 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 after 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. Tho former was displaced by Clarke, without having been permitted to place a single run on the paper. He was followed by Parr, who, having made a one and a two, was stumped by Mr. Nicholson from Clarke. Box then came and gave evidence that his practice with the "catapults" had put him greatly in advance of all his companions. He scored twenty-seven by means of three threes, three twos, and a balance of tingles. Dean numbered eleven in threa couples and five ones. Mr. llaygarth wall stumped from Clarke without a score. Sherman made six singlet, 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.

WRESTLING. • 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 st lendid b )ut for an hattrwhichyukreautned on fuel •=day, ktittrell/ilifaTerira The Lancashire champion's vic tory by a fair back fall. There were thirty-two well known wres , lers entered for the 12 prizes. Boylett (D.) and Thomas (C.) tried three falls, Boylett winning the lest cleverly. W. Kemp (D) quickly grassed (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 bout. Nicholls (C.) defeated Trimlett, sen. (D.), and Webber (D.) was defeated by a new Cor Ashman named Sycomb. 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 cl ose d with Sarthenbank and Dyer. On Tuesday 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, §tephen, Verran, Bartlett, and Sar thenbank. CANTERBURY ARM, LAMDETIG—TIIO 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 1 hour's hard play, in which extraordinary points were shown, Palmer ulti mately obtaining the victory. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. Yesterday was appointed by the Royal Thames Yacht Club for a sailing match, the prizes to be contended for being two silver caps, the one fur the first class contain ing 80 sovereigns, and that for the second class 40 sovereigns. 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 last 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 Erith 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 thilF 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 on the strength of the receding current. Under circumstances so unfavourable the pro vision boat and the collier might 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 carthorse 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 manceuvre 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 weft been less provokingly fine:— FIRST CLASS. Front , both inclusive.

It also tended in some degree, no doubt, to assuage the thirst for marine excitement, which had ea the occasion drawn together so large and ( we aro glad to aid, in compittim with kw ye a r ) so respectable a company. There was certainly, as it turned out, very little use for the large number of hand some telescopes present; and it was not without regret that we saw so mtny persons baulked of the pleasure which had induced them to come in such smart nautical rig. But outfits tor Hirer-sailing are net exposed to much wear and tear, at :east they will keep till the 16th of June, when the postponed match comes off again, and when we hope, not only Zolus will condescend to favour the regatta kith a good breeze of wind, but that there may be assembh d on the occasion as numerous and azre(able a company of ladies and gentlemen as yesterday. [PRICE SD. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The Arrogant, 36, screw frigate, Captain Fitsroy, 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:—Her line of copp er i s muc h hi g her 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 I inch; draft of water, 19 feet 1 inch; her bowsprit sill, height from water, 10f. 84in.; 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 Lizbon, and there await further orders. The Plumper, screw-sloop, Commander Nolloth,' will some 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, WELINESDAY,=The. Fairy royal y actg., Commander Crispin, embarked qe„C9urt at Trinity pier, East Cowes, this afternoon, abbut Lalf-past two o'clock, and bore the Royal party fo ufidef the usual ceremonies. At the Royal Clarestof Victualling Establishment, Gosport, the Royal i pasty,was received by Admiral the Hon. Sir Bladen,Capel ' K C. 8., the Commander-in-Chiefi Major-General "Lord" Mclerick Fitzclarence, G.C.H. ; Rear-Admiral Superidtendent Prescott, C .B. ; Captain Superinte.nclent :Sir Edward Parry, and the usual other of4cera of . the port ;1:1(1 gpr rison. The royal train was set in mot ion by Mr. gooCli, 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 thecompapy:... The Fairy was afterwards docked, to examine her bottom, and ascertain the relative merits bf compoSitidns for prevention of the adhesion of subniarine excrescences to the bottoms of iron vessels. ; P The Success hulk, 74, is ordered to be broken up this dockyard. .• y ~ THE GIGANTIC • PACKET-SHIP CONSTELLATION. -; ~ es The splendid packet-ship Constellation, the largeit merchant vessel afloat, having "completed the;clr(dhprge of her ponderous cargo, is now fn Our docks; and as*Mtb, presents to those interested in the growing trade of " the good old town," as well as to the yaany strangeri that will visit Liverpool during the present .week; a fief d of attraction that cannot fail to awa k en the'erithusiastistf unqualified approbation, we subjoin the following . notice of her:— • .. 7, ; ' I' a. 1 The Constellation was built at Nev York, by_ Messrs. Westervelt and Mackay, from . thrttrawingeand under' the personal superintendence of-Wiliiim Skiddy, Esq. Her length of keel is 195 feet; her lengths over all,- 226 feet; her beam measured from ceiling e tgeelling, 43 feet; and the depth of hold, 281 feet; Her tonnage, estimakd . by the customs (or new) measurement, is 1,950 tonsOM she possesses capabilities for the storage ofensiarly .3;500 tons of ordinary goods. It would not for a moment supposed that 'a vessel of such giant -lilse proportiqiii would be completed without a due regard' to conaffeative strength, nor has that important , objeetheeuedeglected; Her hanging and lodging knees are. all., from well formed timber, of great thickness- JO depth, in = tti6 throat, and each is finished in sUperior style. ' The tins: 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 7 inches to 10 inches in thickness, from the kelson to the stringer, which is 14 inches square ; and thus her timbers ard outer planking form a solid thickness averaging 3 feet 4 inches. Her kelson and sister kelsous are bolted per peedicularly to the keel, as well as diagonally, and hurls wita.lly. The deck stauncheons are kneed to the kelson, and in the upper decks 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 e'rength, and prevents the probability of her be e9mirg .. 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 duck beam is carried so far aft that it gives her the appearance of la, ing heavy in quarters; but we had the pleasure of seeing her " high and dry," 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 Constellation 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 of&, The upper deck is also divided abaft, to form a cabin, with 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, isc. 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 whist& aro 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 be m pen r te e r,s o o v h ed op ; , a a n n o o t t h h e e r r a dvis n i iee i h o o n forms nse,a a co hofarmoopmle,terocoanar a 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 gangways to the topgallant forecastle, makiir , b her almost a " four decker." Beneath the quarter-deck are the captain's cabin and the ladies' cabin, both of which are most gorgeously finished, and are not only lighted from the deck but by stern ports. The coiling 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, augh , mounts the rich cabinet-work of the room. Pilasters enamelled in white and gold, with a relief of lake, neat gold caps, and veined marble pediments, form the state' room entrances. The intervening space at the sides, as well as all the doors, is formed in small panels, with o _ oc tagon corners; the centres, as also the skirtings , are f rich blue plush. arranged; admirable. rose-wood d highly-polished mi ra ble. andi,hzeesbearot zebra-wood , o w e os o d o t I, d uldh roe seatsl effectie v e s or withef whichup h oistr en deep-t o ne d most The state-rooms are roomy and excell e ntly resent is at i i nm n iep f n a ot c ir t et, , an t r h t e bs g u;. : te rg . eo r us e least equalled by the excellent manner . our columns; " G er com.ort are secured.

THE DOWNING PROFESSORSHIP OF THE LAWS OF ENCLThrn- - - Andre w 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, Claro Halt, 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 for 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 had 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, ho 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 Ur. Amos's eminent success as a lectur, 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.
