The former is of the Custom-house, where notoriously two and two do not make four ; and the latter of college, where it is equally notorious that oaths are bi much disregarded as ever they were at the Custore-house. 'When the advocates for a reduction of the duty on wool had made out on Wednesday evening ,-,:tat we thought a very strong case, the Right Hon. Gentleman, turning, round to his friend, Mr. BECKETT, assured him in his most sincere and blondest tones; and stss.ured all the gentlemen on the Tory benches, that the woollen manufacturers bad a full compensation in the reduction of duties mule by the tariff, for the tax on wool which is to be continued. "There is," said the Right Host. Gentleman (we do not pledge ourselves for the words, for unfortunately we believe no report has been preserved of the nice pieoe of jesuistry) "a reduction of 40,0001. on vegetable oil, and a reduction of upwards • of 60,000/. on drugs and. dye stuff, making, with other reductions a sum of nearly 130,0001, (the TimoN report, 'says . 150,'7001.), almost , the whole of which will be a relief to the woollen manufacturers." It immediately occurred to us that all the manufac turers of the empire use drugs, and dye stuffs, and ve getable ell, as well ti - S — the woollen" Manufacturers, and that they could not poseitAy obtain more than a small ehtre of the reduction. Mr. GLADSTONE, however, made the assertion, and no doubt it was received as gospel by 'the country gentlemen who voted, in spite of Mr: Brcxerres.Telancholy speech, to ruin the woollen trade. On et nsulOug the tariff, we find that the whole amount of the :evenue 'obtained last year on vegetable oils, is less than 70,000/., and that of .this no less a sum than 40,tt0OL is paidonulii a oil. It i s r at h er t oo bud in Mr. FlnAncroNE to put dowu to the advantage of the manor f ib owirars the money which is paid on the oil consumed rLe lirench cooks and for the salads of the gentry. Anofber large sum of 20,0001. was paid on p a ._ fauit oil; part of which is employed in their lamps. It tiy,, whole duty now.-levied on vegetable oils werett h e re pealed, it would be a •gro inaccuracy t o say that th rim now paid was the measure of the benefit.con folmsl en the woollen manufactures by repeal ; but the • ta6-1; is, that the duty im• olive 61, is only reduced nil, importethrom foreign one half, and the duty on palm e•Juntriw..;, itt not reduced at all. Of the. 60,000/. there lerivd on these two oils, there will be at mo.st a reduction of 20,0001., and the greater portion ;het 'Till be a boos to -the noliiiity and gentry who imiulp in fribrres. Yet Mr. GLADSTONE could solemnly assure the country gentlemen that the woollen manuitc tuter:.s.eronhl he benedted to the extent of nearly 49,000/.

The Lancashire men well de serve to have cotton taxed as long as they send to Parlia ment such enemies to their industry as Mr. IVn.soN PATTEN. The proclamation in Tuesday's Gazette,' concerning light sovereigns, has caused some consternation in the trading classes. Those amongst them who carry on a ready-money trade, are prodigiously annoyed by being obliged to weigh every sovereign they receive. Either they must offend their customers and lose trade, or sub mit to loss. In cases where they have to make daily, or frequent payments, particiujiirly to public offices, such as the Excise-office, the Post-bffice, and the Stamp-office, they are exposed to great inconvenience, and are some times actually prevented from completing their business. In consequence of these difficulties and annoyances, the complaints are, ve believe, universal, of the suddenness with which the change has been ordered. Why, it is asked, should they who till Tuesday, had received the sovereigns that are in circulation in good faith, be saddled with the loss of, perhaps, twenty per cent. on all the gold coin they may have in their pos sessio❑ ? Besides that, they are exposed to the greatest inconvenience in making their payments. The money they haft hoarded up to pay poor rates, a`nd queen's taxes, to pay the brewer, and the miller, and the cum dea!er, is, all at once become non-current, and they must seek other means to make their payments. Why should not the Government have given more time, and why not take on itself, or impose on the Bank of England— which enjoys the privilege of annually borrowing some 18,000,000/. from the public, without paying any interest for its use—the obligation of renewing the coin? The Income-tax will fall heavily on many classes, but this sud der restoration of the currency, will mulct all the holders of a score or more sovereigns, which happen to be light to a greater extent than the Income-tax. Add to this: that restoring the currency to its full value will, for the moment, embarrass trade and lower prices ; and nu more impolitic measure, perhaps, supposed to be of a trifling nature, could at this moment be adopted. At the same time, we are, well aware that were the Government to restore the coinage to its full value at its own expense, it would only enable the sweaters to im mediately make a large profit on the new issues. Now it throws that expense on the public, and will probably confer an equal benefit on the sweaters. They will soon get to work again ; for if every sovereign must hereafter be weighed before it can be taken in business, the Royal stamp ceases to be of any use. Business might as well be carried on by lumps of unstamped bullion. The very purpose and end of coining bullion, and converting it into money, is to give it free circulation, and enable people to take it by tale, instead of by weight. We can not believe, therefore, that the practice of weighing every sovereign which circulates can long be continued ; whence it follows, whoever may now be at the cost of restoring the coinage, that the sweaters will soon gather all the advantages into their sacks. There is one - part of the empire which will not expe rience any inconvenience from the proclamation. Nearly ill the sovereigns in Scotland are in the hands of the bankesu, and are not liable either to be clipped or sweated. One pound notes are there yet suffered to cir culate by the Legislatere ; and there the traders are not exposed to the inconvenience to which we must submit. The sovereigns in the hands of the bankers—always ready to be given out on demand—serve as a standard of value, and are kept perfect by not being exposed, as they are here, to the battering and bruises of use, and the clippings of rogues. By and by, probably, if not now, the people of England will begin to regret that they aliowed a parcel of theorists and meddling" legislators, under the influence of a monetary panic, to deprive them of small bank notes—of bank notes of any amount, how ever small, which commerce might find it convenient to issue. Commercial promises to pay, the representatives of produce coining to market, are as certainly a step in civilisation, common to nearly all mankind, as the prior use of coined money which those promises ought in a great measure to supersede. They are like power !ooms or self-acting spinning mules, destined to super sede the more clumsy inventions, to answer the same utd, which previously existed ; and it is, in fact, no .wore rational for the law-maker to interfere and sup press paper promises to pay, than for him to put down other inventions which facilitate production. The pre sent annoyance and expense caused by the gold coinage. which are likely to continue, affording a harvest to rogues, and giving honest men much trouble, will pro bably awaken some sorrow in the public for having toe readily lent an ear to those who promised them great advantages from substituting the Royal coinage for commercial promises to pay. • As the Sugar Duties Bill is not yet passed through th( llouse of Commons—it was read a second time on Wednes• lay—and as it yet remains in the power of that House ti lo justice to the people of England on this subject; and, a: above all, it is in the power of the House of Lords refuse its assent to a measure which tends, exactly like the Corn-Keeping-Out Bill, to withhold food from the people, we have collected in another place, a few testi monies to the utility of sugar. How many Members of the House were aware when they voted to renew thost lades on Friday night that they were giving another vote to deprive the people of a most wholesome and nutritious food, we cannot possibly tell ; but- we are much afraid that the great majority of the voters wert wholly and completely ignorant of many of the valuable !iroperties of sugar, and the many uses to which it may be applied. As iu other cases they took hold of one small point, the fag-end, as it were, of an im mense coil, namely, the possible influence of the sugar duties on slavery, about which the wisest and most learned amongst them can know nothing ex sept by conjecture, and on that single point—they being, ve are afraid, almost as ignorant of the many bearings of the whole question as neeroes—they run at Sir R. PEEL and Mr. GLADSTONE'S tail to give another vote for shutting out food from our starving people. Yet those who did so vote shall be angry, and make a great out cry, that they are branded by the Anti-Corn-law League with the crime of murder ; but it has been customary with the law of England to inflict the same punishment Ln those ill-omened masters and mistresses who have withheld food from their apprentices, as on those equally ill-omened wretches who have cut the throats of theii victims. It has made no difference between a BROWN RIGGE and a Goon, and we know not why the Anti- Corn-law League should make any difference between the Emperor of MOROCCO, when he sallies forth in his vidlow or murdering vest, and that Legislature which 'oreibly keeps food from the people. It is a fact, that the people of Paisley, Burnley. 3toctkport, Manchester, Leeds, &c., &c., are at this mo ment in deep distress, hungering for food ; it is a fact, *hick we state on the concurrent testimony of several , minent writers, whose authority we have quoted, that " SUGAR CONT i tINS MORE NUTRIMENT (of animal life) LN A GIVEN BULK, THAN ANY OTHER KNOWN SUB. iTANCE ;" it is also a fact that our warehouses contain, At this moment, a considerable quantity of foreign sugar, in bond ; arid it is equally a fact that a much larger pantity might be imported in a few weeks, from various places, to supply the cravings of our people with whole ;ome and nutritious food. It is a certain fact that the [louse of Commons, sometimes called a paternal Legisla fare—called by its flatterers the fathers of the country— Lfter having passed a law to keep corn away from the people, have just come to a resolution that not one grain if that succulent and nutritious food shall our people obtain, unless they pay a tax on it which is nearly three times the value of the article. We believe that twenty shillings a cwt. would pay the average cost of bringing sugar to Europe ; the average price now does not exceed twenty-five shillings, and on that article „he paternal house of Commons has voted a prohibitory ax of 635. Mr. M'Cur.a.ocn says—though he is not, perhaps, thoroughly imbued with a conviction of the vast utility and importance of sugar as food, and though he speaks only of a duty, scarcely one-third of the prohibitory duty voted on Friday night—" to levy a tax 245. on a necessary of life, costing only 225., or 358., tlcluding Bs. per ewt. freight and charges, is obviously a most oppressive proceeding." What then must be the elm -acteristie of a proceeding which levies a duty of 635. on hat same article, when the people are actually starving, and when, but for this law, great plenty of that usefui rood might be immediately obtained ? We wonder not ai :lie people losing patience under such legislation. Can any thing exceed the crime of a Legislature, trusted by the tro pic., when all its members abound in plenty, coolly looming a great number of the people to death by with lolding from them accessible food? The fact that sugar is nutritious food, in a most con densed and convenient form for carriage, easily pre served, requiring no turning over like wheat, running; ' little to waste, not susceptible of alteration from expo sure to thn atmosphere, serves to expl a i n a political fact. Sir ROBERT PEEL, in the debate on Friday, sneered at the idea of his conduct being influenced by deference to the West India interest. He described that as the weakest interest in the House, and as having no power over him. But the vote to keep out sugar, was a vote to keep otit fond ; it was keeping out grass to fatten eattle,-and malt to make spirituous liquors ; it was keep ing out bread and potatoes, and was a vote most agree able to the banded horde- of food.. monopolists, to do whOse bidding he has accepted office.: Ile was pleasing t4ie landed interest, therefore,- as well as the Wesandia,; interest ; and hiS statement, jesuitically true as to words, was grossly &Ise as t o f ac t s . Th e l e tt er was I correct, the spirit wholly fallacious. It deluded the understanding, though it fell fairly on the ear. It was as big and as foul a delusion, as ever a statesman was guilty of. Ms conduct in this case, proves his thorough want of sincerity. Ho will allow cattle to come in, of which there arc few or none ; and he will not allow food for them and for man to be brought in, which is plentiful; he will graciously permit a few hundred weight more of meat to come in a year or two hence, and he obstinately shuts out the food, both of man and animals, that lies ready stored up at our door. We have not been in the habit of thanking GOD that we have a House of Lords ; but we may now say that the House of Lords cannot pass the Sugar Duties Bill, when it goes up to them, without making themselves ac cessory to the great crime of keeping food away from the people. If they stiffer their judgment to be overruled by any motive of deference to the arrange ments of the House of Commons, they will sink i n the estimation of mankind to the level of those poor vic tims of lust who, when once caught in the toils of the wicked, must do their bidding till nature breaks the in tolerable yoke. THE LATE LORD CONGLETON. The family of the Parnells, from which the late Noble man drew his origin, were, for a long period anterior to the time of Charles 11, resident at Congleton, in the county of Chester, but, in the time of that King they pur cased an estate in Ireland, and fixed their abode in that kingdom. This estate went by the name of Rathleague, which is situated in Queen's county, and is held by the family to the present day. Among the ancestors of the deceased, the most notable was the Archdeacon of Clogher. author of the " Hermit," and who was Prebendary of Dublin in 170, and Vicar of Finglas in 1716. This celebrated man was the friend of Pope, Swift, Addison, Congreve, Steele, and all the literary spirits of his day. Swift' s - humour on one occasion made a high man bow to the Doctor. Swift, it is related, in troduced the Archdeacon to the Lord-Treasurer Harley, and, in his usual dictatOrial manner, insisted upon his Lordship's going, with his staff of office in hand, into the ante-chamber, where Dr. Parnell was waiting to receive him. His Lordship good-humouredly- complied, awl the three great men had a day's laugh at the facetious ideas of the Dean. Besides John Parnell (now Lord Congleton), whom Sir Henry had by his wife, Caroline Elisabeth, the eldest daughter of Earl Portarlington, he has five other children, two of whom are sons, and the other three daughters. Of these ladies, the timrth child and eldest daughter is married to the Right Rev. Charles Longley, who has, since his marriage, been elevated to the bench of Bishops, but who at that period was head master of Harrow School. The late Lard's father was always spoken of in high terms of commendation. At the time the Irish volun teers formed themselves into those redoubtable bodies, bent upon preserving themselves and their liberties, Sir John Parnell, who was the zitaunchest among the 'lumbar, was the Commandant of the Maryborough Volunteers. His son possessed much of the figure, and many of the mental characteristics of his father. Sir John was plain, frank, and convivial : as a financier he was able, 4,nd educated with the view to a diplomatic station ; he made no unstatesman-like figure in the Ministry of which he formed part : his countenance was no less benign than animated, and his eye, full and penetrating, Ate his ability and talent. One of the questions in which, when Sir Henry Parnell, he appeared most conspicuously before the House of Commons, was on the night of the 13th April, 1810, when he made his celebrated speech on a motion for a Select ComMittee to inquire into the collection of tithes in Ireland. On that occasion ha showed, with true and eloquent earnestness, the grievances inflicted by this system on Ireland. He gave it as a palpable fact, '.hat" so great was the poverty of many thousand people who pay tithe there, that if they existed in this country, ander similar circumstances of indigence, they woud be considered as entitled to parish assistance." His vioas of the subject were high and honest. - He sought to exonerate the peasantry—to get rid of the direct pay ment by the Catholic, Presbyterian, or Quaker, to the Protestant clergyman, and lastly, to give the clergy a ,ust and fair equivalent. Notwithstanding his strenuous speech on the subject, his party were in the minority. Another night, on which he no less signalised him self in the House, was on the memorable occasion when the Right Hon. Henry Goulburn made a motion for leave to bring in a Bill to amend certain Acts relating to unlawful societies in Ireland. This was on the 10th of February, 1825. He was opposed to the measure. He believed it to be one that would terminate in confusion and rebellion. He reviewed the various cases of affray ,which were a.aid to call for such an Act, and proved them to be justifiable cases, and such as originated out ,of no secret societies, but the just feelings arising between man sad man. He revealed the measures of the association attacked, exposed the errors of his antagonist, and de 'nonstrated the evils alleged to have been caused by the anal-administration of Lord Wellesley. In 18.24-,!,i, the Chamber of Commerce at Dublin, being lesirous of having his opinion upon the then existing Butter laws," he turned his attention to the subject, and produced a talented pamphlet entitled " Observations the Irish Butter Acts." The gist of his argument vas to show that the then existing Acts were violative of every sound principle of trade, and that most erroneous pinions were entertai ne d on the score ; but, like a man :)f talent, while he proposed to repeal the existing regu lations, he advanced and provided others in their stead. His treatise on "rinancial Retbrm,"published originally by Murray, in 1830, will always rank as a sterling and authoritative book. In draiiing up this valuable volume, his own clear views upon the subject, together with his active collating of the numerous Parliamentary accounts and pamphlets upon the points he treated on, tended to produce a systematic, enlarged, and copious work. On Lord Oriel's retirement from public life, the subject , if this memoir was not only the principal instrument in carrying the Holy - head Road Bills through Parliament, but continued to be, as long as there was necessity and occasion, one of the most efficient of the Commissioners. Fully impressed with the importance of rendering .the communication between Dublin and London perfect, he, nntiredly, for twenty years, kept the subject in his con stant view—laboured to convince Government of the grand utility of the measure—procured the consent of all the numerous, and, in some instances, turbulent bodies of local trustees on the line of road—arranged the sea com munication between Holyhead and Dublin, and finally accomplished his purpose. His treatise upon " Roads," published by Longman, in, we believ e , 1836, was th e result of much of the ;kill and science gained by him during his application to this subject. Telford was his intimate friend, and: acknowledged him to have acquired "so perfect a knowledge of road :flaking in all its branches, as enabled him to produce the most valuable treatise which has appeared in Eng land on the history, principles, and practice of that species of national improvement." Such are Telford's own words. About this period he became an honorary member of the Institution of Civil Engineers. A work perhaps not so generally known, but equally excellent for the accuracy, and depth of research whicli characterised it, was published by Ridgway, of Picca dilly, entitled " The History of the Penal Laws against the Irish Catholics. from the year 1689 to the Union." It reached a fourth edition in a very short period. On the dignity of Baron being offered to him by the Melbourne Ministry in 1841, he chose for his title the ancient name of the seat in Cheshire, where his family :rum the earliest times had been located. Congletun, in xhich the demesne of the Parnells was situated, lies leautifully in a deep valley, on the banks of the Dane in that part of Cheshire which intervenes between the Niacclesfielcl hills, and the flat district of Northwick Hundred, partaking of the varied surface of the one, and the rich soil and abundant timber of the other. Ciongleton town, in which, also many of the poorer re lations of the Parnell family lived in former days, retains ;till many of those original timber buildings which they tenanted, though now, for the most part, the western end consists almost entirely of handsome mansions of the merchants and other opulent residents, disposed among pleasure-grounds on the banks of the river Dane. . THOMAS HENRY LISTER . , ESQ , LATE REGISTRAR-GENERAL. . Mr. Lister; whose death we announced on Wed nesday in addition to the high offi c i a l ca p ac ity w hi c h he filled, was a litterateur of no ordinary pretensions. Added to these circumstances, he was related by marriage, on his own and that of his sister's side, .to two of the first houses in the land; -he himself. had espoused to a branch. of the old Clarendon family, and his sister to Lord John Russell. - The deceased Registrar was a man constant and diligent in his studies ; those periods not occupied by the business of his office were devoted by him to the steady . pursuit of literatur e an d th e fine arts, and he has earned no mean name by the productions which, from time to time, his pen has bestowed upon the world. The first work which made him known to the public was " Granby," Which redounded much to his tame. Few of our readers but are acquainted with the merits of this excellent performance. Mr. Lister, no less master of a good and vigorous prose, had also essayed the heights of poetry, by ad vancing into the tragedial line. Shortly after he had made himself known as the "Author of Granby," he produced a five-act historical play, under the title of t‘ Epicharis," which was so far a favourite with readers, that a call for a second edition was made upon Messrs. Colburn and Bentley. This historical tragedy, on the 14th of October, 1829, was repre sented at Drury-lane, and the four prominent charac ters of the play were supported by Young, Wallack, and Cooper ; Epicharis, the Grecian freedwoman, the heroine of the piece, was chastely and exquisitely enacted by Miss Phillips. The tragedy of Epicharis is founded on the history of Piso's conspiracy, as re lated in the fifteenth book of the Annals of Tacitus. The chief work by which Mr. Lister became known to the public was his "Life and Administration of Edward, first Earl of Clarendon," which was first published in 1838. A biography of this celebrated man had long been wanting to our modern literature, and Mr. Lister's book admirably filled up the gap. The author, moreover, from his alliance with the ex isting house of Clarendon, had opportunities at his disposal which other forerunners in the same line had lacked ; for Mr. Lister married Theresa Villiers, a niece of the present Lord Clarendon, who belongs to ft branch .of the house of Jersey., who, having inter married with one of the female descendants of the Cheaicellor, was, on the extinction. of -his male line, raised to the Earldom of Clarendon. The unpub lished papers which he had at his disposal were, THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDA. EVENING, JUNE', 10, 1 842. through these means, of consequence and authenticity, and served to give his book value and authority. Mr. Lister's style had the Merit of being clear arc unaffected; it his works, especially where matter o historical research was. needed, he showed diligence in exploring rather deeper than the surface ot authorities. His views of general queStions were honest and not unphilosophical, It was soon after the passing of the Act for the Registration of Births, Deaths, and Marriages, that Mr. Lister was appointed Registrar-General, an oflict which he continued to fill efficiently and well to the time of his death. This act IN' as originally passed on or about the third week in August, in the year 1836. Those who • are acquainted with the history of the times, are well aware of the struggle between the Lords and Commons upon several of the dallies and provisions contained in the Registration Marriage Bill as it was at first framed ; and the opposition which was instituted against the measure, the Dis senters being the chief parties affected by it. Tht , subsequent measure, which, however, consentaneously came into force with it, that of the Registration of Births Bill, was, of course, by those who could not comprehend the real honesty of the Melbourne pa:ty, alleged to have been brought forward for the creation of "an enormous. amount of patronage." Be that as it may, on the creation of its proper officers, Mr. Henry Lister was selected to act at the head of the whole. The number, however, of places created under him, was not more numerous than this excel lent measure demanded ; and while himself, by the Act, was " removable at pleasure," he had at his own disposal and nomination, in connexion with the Board of Guardians, a superintendent-registrar in every union-parish in the kingdom, or about 825 agents. Each union also was to have at least four registrars, - making a body in all of 3,300. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT HEATH RACES.—Tnuasnay. " Why should a young, delicate, and amiable Queen, Pa tronise horses and horse-racing?" We will tell you. Sir Growler. The inhabitants of a certain city, erst famous in the fairest part of Greece; wished to baptize it, and give it a name, _and a God and Goddess 'contended far the sponsorship—the ho nour the inhabitants deeided thould be given to the divinity that presented them with 'the most precious gift. " The blue eyed mild 01 heaven," and the God of the Sea, well-known to Etonians as the once puzzling " Qaos Ego," were the competitors at the christening. She who stepped forth. armed cap-a-pie, from a philo-progenitive bump of old Jove's head, touched the earth, and it produced the olive-tree, emblem of peace: Neptetle hurled his trident into the sandy shore, and thence bounded forth a fiery Peed, emblem of war. These were the prevents. The citizens of Attica chose the olive, and called their city Athens, after one of the names "of Minerva. We have traced the origin of the horse to the God of the See. Such being the fact, is it not right that his cffspritig shrield be p itronised, nay petted l by the Ocean Queen ? You have now a reason— es good as any other—why that mighty (yet how mill and delicate she looks !) woman you see standing at that window above, intently gazing at these flying coursers, should be a patroness of tbem. In fancy, at least, she may deem them presents from, with her, the joint monarchs of the Main. Betimes this morning, bestirring them,elve; for Ascot, were some thousands of the good felks of London. At six o'clock the morning was beautiful, the sky chrystally clear, and the wide and long thoroughfares running westward through the heart and along the outskirts of the metropolis, were alive with per sons steering for the Great Western Reilway tervninu e A cool breeze ( would that it had made itself felt all day) blew east by north, and at seven o'clock all arrived at Paddington. Even the train of that early hour, reaching nearly a quarter of a mile, was thronged with pa=sengers, carriages. and horses. It did not arrive at Slough till 20 minutes past eight. At nine 0 d Windsor was awake and busy, and we could at once see, from the number of vehic'es of all descrip:ions laden with pessengers, starting for the Heath, that before the races began it would be covered with multitudes of " high and low degree." The Heath at noon was a stirring, bustling, bridiant scene. The northern border of the course from beyond the weighing stand to the turn towards the east *as lined outside the ropes with carriages full of men, women, and children ; and inside the ropes, between them and the barriers that bordered the course, was a compact and contieuous line of pedestrians. Running westward frail the Royal Stand was a can tonment of camp hotels and . cabarets, filled between each race with those whose stomach as well as sight re quired to be satisfied, consoled, and comforted. East of the Grand Stand, tan a moldy row of teuiporary " hells," paved, we believe, reversing the proverb , wish shrieking bad intentions. In front of the entrances of these leave-all. hope behind receptacles were troops of glorious thimbleeriggers, bonneters, and buffoons, without whose presence the appear ance of an English race-course would not be perfectly polished. I The heat at mid-day was intense, and its stinging sultriness was increased by the cloud of dust and sand, raised by arriving car riages and horses, blown over it by a nearly easterly wind. The sward of the course, and of the slope, fresh anti green on Tues day, was trodden down, and its grass had the appearance of parched and beaten stubble. A little before one the course was cleared, a step, if but for one reason, very proper. It prevents the royal cortege from being hemmed in by over-eager gapers, and allows all to have a distinct view of her Majesty, her princely Consort, and illus trious suite. Shortly after one o'clock, the Royal cortege was seen turning into the heath, and as soon as it was entered, the line .of people on -each side impatiently gave way, and had it not been for the exertions- of the police, the whole line - on both sideswould have closed upon the procession, impeded its pro gress, incommoded het Majesty, and deprived thousands of her affectionate subjects of a clear view of her person. As she passed along to the 'loyal Stand, the loyal shouts of sonic 30,000 persons greeted her ears ; the waving of hats, handker chiefs, and parasols must, through the eye, have brought. convic tion to the Royal mind of the ardent attachment of the great nation of whom she is, blessed be Providence fur it, sovereign mistress. • The cavalcade of outriders was, as on Tuesday, headed by the Earl of Rosslyn, Master of the Buckhounds, mounted on a beautiful and well-trained charger. Following the Royal carriage there were seven others, and two pony phretons, each of the latter drawn by four dashing little greys. In the first carriage with her Majesty were his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and their Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Saxe Meiningen ; in the second carriage were the Duchess of Kent (loudly cheered), and Count Mensdorf, in the third car riage were else Duke of Wellington and the Duke and - Duchess of Sutherland. The veteran warrior was hailed with the loudest plaudits. In the other carriages we observed the four young Counts Mensdorf, the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort; the Marquis of Exeter, the Marquis of Worcester ; Earls Jersey, Aberdeen, Delawarr, Dunmoic, Liverpool ; Countessee of Dunmore and Rosslyn ; Lord George Lennox, Lord C. Wellesley, Lord Rivers, Sir E. Bowater, Mr. and the Hon. Mrs. Anson, Hon. C. A. Murray, Hon Miss Liddell, and the Hon. Miss Paget. Just before the races commenced, nothing could look more brilliant than the Grand Stand. Its roof, broad balcony, portico at the base, and slope in front, were thronged, even to wedging, with beau'y and fashion. By Heavens, it was a splendid sight to see ! For him who had no wife or daughter there ; Their rival scarfs of mixed embroidery, And rainbow ribbons flaunting in the air !" On the whole we have .not seen for some years so brilliant and numerous an assemblage drawn together to see the Gold Cup lost and won. As a proof of the strong ee3ire to be at Epsom to-day, as early as five &clock in the morning several carriages passed through Egbam. The "sleeping beauties" in them—most of the ladies were fast asleep—were determined to be first among those on heath, and so avoid confusion and dust, and secure stands for their carriages. It would be careless in us if we neglected to mention, with the praise always justly due to him, the name of Mr. Careless, (careless by name, but not by nature), the right cautious and good caterer for the comforts of those who temporarily tenant . the Grand Stand. To-day, if that be possible, he surpassed himself, . and we heard nothing but satisfaction expressed at his exertions. The Royal Hotel at Slough ought not to be forgotten. It is a very handsnmo ed flee, pleasantly situated, nod commanding a delightful prosi-ect. The accommo dation interiorly is, we are informed by a competent judge, excellent, and the prices wonderfully moderate. Shortly after the tough old mare Beeswing won the ('up, amid loud hurrahs her ?Majesty, Court, and suite took their departure. She and the Duke of Wellington were cheered to the very echo, as they proceeded down the course. Besides the Royal family and noble persons already named, attendant on her Majesty, we noticed on the Grand Stand the following distinguished personages :—Duke of Rutland, Mar quis and Marchioness of Clanricarde, Marquis and Mar chioness of Downshirc, Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter, Marquis of Westminster, Marquis of Granby, Marquis of Nor manby, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl of Wilton.

ROHDERY AT THE RESIDENCE OF THE COUNTESS OF Essax.—A robbery has been committed at the resi dence of the Countess of Essex, No. 9, Delgrave•square. On Monday night the Countess of Essex went to a .party at Lord Francis Egerton's. Her Ladyship did - not re turn until between one and two o'clock on the following morning.- About half-past •siX - -o'clock on Tuesday Morning a man named Hatton, who has !Or Some time been employed to clean the knives and fork, 80., rang up the servants, and made them acquainted with the • 'act that the hall door . was ' open, and declared he. saw it in that situation as he approached the house. The. butler and housekeeper having been called up, searched the apartments on the ground floor, and discovered that from the dining-room a quantity of very valuable pro perty had been taker): The Countess of Essex was imme • diately made nett:minted with the tact, and her Ladyship directly dispatched a note to the Commissioners of Police, and then ordered a most diligent search to be made. From the dining.raom there were missed a„ pair of large silver-gilt candlesticks, a Smaller pair of ditto, both pairs curiously wrought I an Earl's coronet and 7' S. X. S. Y."

C U INA NEWS. The Oriental arrive-d at Falmouth on Wednesday, bringing ii . nUmbe,r of passengers and deSpatchcs from India, which miscarried by the Overland Mail. Among them are-some items. of highly important news from Chins, thmigh not of a later date than those already received, being from Macao to the Gth of March. The Chincse were assembling an immense army for the pur pose-of driving the "English barbarians" from Ningpo. The following extract from a letter from that place, of the 6th of February, shows the kind of reception it was likely to meet with from our gallant countrymen :7 _ . " On the 3d instant the Jupiter trapeport arrived, with 560 men, a must necessary acccs?,ion to our force. We are all just now on the qui vice, as reports have been brought in that the Chinese have been assembling forces front quarters of the empire; that they have 80,000 men, and are advancin; to make a -last grand attempt to crush us. Thy are seid to be within thirty mies, aud advancing in s,veral di vision,,,' so as to attach Ningpo and Chinhae at one time. If even half the tranber of Chinese troops mentioned is true, the odds are certainly not in our favour, as we cannot assemble more than . 2,000 men at Ningpo ; bat the Chinese have never felt our grape and canister yet, -ind we arc all in capital spirits. The General would like nothing better. Ye-tcrday a white buttoned Mandarin arrived at Ningpo. and intimated to the G, , neral that sotu., man of high rank wr s coming to negotiate with us ; but that is out of the question, except as concetus our not attacking Iling-CheA -Fut), and it is very possible that it is only to threw dust in our eyes as to their real intentitms." Prom a Bombay letter of the 2d of May, we learn that the Chinese Mandarins had assembled a very large mili tary fore at Yu-Yao. The brave General Sir Ilucit GOUGE, to whom the drubbing of the Chinese is as much a pastime as was the chasing of Egyptians in Syria to gallant old Commodore NAPIER i was preparing to disperse thein. • Nothing, therefore, could be Welcome or better timed. than the arrival of the reinforcements by the jtipitei. The Ge neral bad intended, on the arrival of that force, to make a movement on Hong Chow-Foo,bat leaning that there was sport for him at Yu-Yao, he resolved to disperse the force assembled there first. Plenipotentiary Sir H. l'orTiNoEn, on proceeding to Hong Kong had very pro perly given rower to , the Admiral Sir W. PARKER, and the Commander.4n-Chief, Sir H. GOUGE, to act according to their own discretion. Im perial proclamations against the "fighting foreign devils" were extensively circulated, but they appeared to . have little influence over the public mind. The excellent discipline of our troops, and the care taken to respect the sacredness of private property, by the Commander in-Chief, seemed to convince the peaceable Chinese that they had nothing in reality to fear from us, notwithstan& ing the declarations to the contrary in the Pekin Gazette. The Chinese wore fortifying the Canton river, but it was understood that the Plenipotentiary would not attack them unless they attempted to raise works blow the usual anchorage. , Then, indeed, they were to catch it in style. It was generally believed that several Russian officers had arrived in China for the purpose of inetracting the Chinese in the art of European war fare. Should these :ellows succeed in making the Chinese familiar with the scieLce. of gunnery, there is little &ib; • but they will give us vk ry serious trouble. • The regular trade was exceedingly dull, but smuggling continued to be carried on rather extensively. next mail front India will be likely to bring irs the news of a regular battle between the -" red-bristled barbarian fighting devils," and some linty or fifty thousand of the world •c+niquering inha bitants of the Ceulral Flowery Lan .1. The fi:iends of Mr. EMERSON TENNENT contrived that there should be no House, last night ; They were cordially supported by the„ Members .of the Ca binet, not out of any personal regard for the Secretary of the Board of Contro`, but to avoid an exposure which might throw - a taint upon the Ministry.

This evening the of Commons is to go I; Committee upon the Railway Bill when fir. Bt' will move the insertion of the very clause, which we trust, will be adorpteki without 01V" Lion :-- That, whereas liajestYl the public service requires that her i d t 1 36 Postmaster-General should at all times be able to coralin,loet use of ays fir the conveyance of the mails at the ' O. t o rate of charg- consistent wits th, actual cost. uf carrY , m l,,t• same :—Be it enacted, that in all eases in which th mash r- General shall, under the powers of the said A quire that the mails or j oat 1, tter hag; s hall be cenveY'" ot• r to, ev , :rde by any railway c ompany o n their raiiway , s ucn i , t bt vane shall convey and f.

As the „ A ils before the House, it. is as swell to make it as 1' P and it cannot be perfect so long as the c eiv pi• the , meat of passengers is left. to the discretion o• t heir rectors.
