The committee assembled yesterday moriing at the usual hour. Sir Thomas Hastings explained a former statement made by him, to the effect that the Board of Ordnance received no order from the War-office with reference to the contract for huts for the Crimea. He had since ascertained a letter was received from Sir F. Smith on the 18th of November, 1854. Mr. Monsell's examination was then resumed.—He first explained that the work at the laboratory at Wool wich was not executed until after a schedule of prices had been sent in, and the sanction of the board obtained. Since giving his evidence yesterday, he had ascertained from reference to the minutes that the expenditure of 7,0001. by Captain Boxer was not authorised on his own responsibility. Some of the minutes of the board were made on loose paper, and others involving great prin ciple on the minute book. It was not to be understood that in placing 7,0001. at the disposal of Captain Boxer, it was not the issuing of money, but the authority of purchasing machinery to that extent, and the bills for the payment passed according to the exact forms of the office. Sir J. Pakington—Were the accounts checked in the cash account office !—They were certified certainly by Captain Boxer, but he could not say if Colonel Wilson's name was attached. Sir J. Pakington—l wish to know whether in any way whatever the public had any security for the ex penditure of this money !—I imagine that in every in• stance there were tenders for the machinery Captain Boxer ordered, and before the money was paid he cer tified the machinery had been delivered and properly erected, but whether Colonel Wilson's name was at tached to the bills he could not say. By Mr. Layard—ls there an auditor connected with the Ordnance-office ?—There is one in the Paymaster's office. Every account is minutely scrutinised in the cash account office before being paid. These bills were passed in the ordinary way of the office ?—No question. Can you detect in the office if there be any irregularity in the accounts ?--Yes, if any formal irregularity. In ordinary instances it would be necessary for Colonel Wilson to sign the bills, but in this case Captain Boxer was personally charged with the work. What ever irregularities might have occurred with respect to the initiation of the work, it was sanctioned by the board almost immediately after the work was com menced. The honourable gentleman was examined at great length with reference to a difference of feeling existing during the progress of the works between Captain Boxer and Col. Wilson, his superior officer, and the course he pursued with reference thereto, and the appeal trade to the Minister of War on the subject. By Colonel Peel—l imagine Captain Boxer has no independent position in the laboratory. He was intro duced there for a special purpose. By Lord Seymour—There were no cholera belts ordered for the army in the Crimea before the 24th of November—he found it was the practice for one board officer only to wen the orders for most of the warm •lothing and comforts for the troops. By Mr. Layard—Messrs. Hayter and Howell were appointed packers of goods by the Board of Ordnance, from the pressure of business, and he knew no reason for assigning why they were selected for the work. Mr. Hayter is a brother of Mr. Hayter, Secretary to the Treasury—formerly, all goods were packed at the Tower. The barracks at Aldershott were being er..icted differently to what was intended when the House of Commons granted him 250,000/. for that purpose. He was at the Ordnance when the war broke out, and he at tributed the difficulties that had occurred, and which had been complained of, from their being an insufficiency of stores, the means of purchasing, and the manufacture of fusees, for which Parliament and the Government were to blame. The Board of Ordnance worked har moniously together until the beginning of November. At that time strong differences arose between Sir Tho mas Hastings on the one hand and himself and Sir H. ROSS on the other, and in consequence of the unfortu nate difference between Col. Wilson and Capt. Boxer, he and Sir H. Ross did not work so harmoniously together as they had done before. He was the sole communica tion between the Ordnance and the War-office and Horse Guards. In the month of April he was the only officer attending the office. The public service had not suffered from it, because "we" executed all the orders forwarded to us. Mr. Layard—You do not mean "we ;" you mean 4 ‘ I." (Laughter.) Mr. Monsell—Never knew of an instance where the guns were not ready before the ships to take them. The Baltic and Black Sea fleets were fitted out in a very short space of time, which was attributable to the ad mirable working of the department at Woolwich. By the Chairman—Ws it not insinuated that you applied to Lord Panmure to deprive Sir H. Ross of the appointment of clerks, because be was disinclined to pro mote a person on your recommendation ?—lt was so in sinuated, but I distinctly deny ever having done sp. The Secretary at War issued an order for 300 huts for the troops on the 17th Nov., and the Secretary for War sent it to the Ordnance on the 19th. Within 25 days the contracts for the huts were entered into, the huts constructed, and 757 despatched to the Crimea. The contractors had contracted for the huts the very day on which the Board of Ordnance received the order from the War-office. Messrs. Price's contract was to supp'y the huts at 27/., delivered at Glocester, and Mr. Chand ler's 341., delivered on board at Southampton. Sir Frederick Smith, commanding engineer of the south-western district, gave evidence to show there was no delay on the part of the Board of Ordnance, nor any of the officers of the department in procuring and send ing huts to the Crimea ; double canvassed tents would have answered the purpose quite as well as the huts, and would have been more easily and rapidly trans mitted and put up. By Mr. Layard—The first huts left the 3d December. As a military man, he would not have sent out huts. The contract was taken for vertical roofs at 271., and it wasnotuntil the 7th December after many had been made that the question of roof was finally settled, and then Messrs. Potter and Price bad 11. 10s. per hut more for the horizontal roof. Tools, nails, and a plan of the huts went out with each cargo. A sapper also went out, capable of properly erecting them. All the huts from England went out perfect. The Committee adjourned at half-past three o'clock. o tADVEßTlsnmiorr—M a ny thousand cures have b een eeted without m edicine, by Du Barry's Delicious Reva mmtaArabica Food, of indigestion (dv,,pepsia), constipation aqua, -bilious, 'bilious, and liver complaints, paralysis, &c.

WESTMINSTER.—Mr. a T s M a n I N ST author ER and . M r pUb P li h c il l i e p ct W ure il r l , ia r m esi P di e n r g fitt ai 2 d o e ; Hemingford-terrace, Islington, appeared to a summons charging him, under the 6th and 7th of William IV., cap 86, with making a false representation upon the oc casion of registering a child. Mr. Buchannan conducted the prosecution, andl Mr. Parry the defence. The circumstances, as detailed in support of the charge, are briefly these. On the sth of December, 1854, the accused presented himself at the office of Mr. Smith registrar for the north-east division of Chelsea, for the purpose of registering a child, of which he represented himself to be the father. The statement he gave for the purpose of its being inserted in the register was that the child was born on the 3d of November, was named Wil liam Henry, and that the mother's name was Elizabeth Perfitt, formerly Phillips, which was false, as, in fact, the mother was a single woman. This portion of the entry was the offence complained of, and in support of it a witness was called to show that the accused was mar ried on the 6th of October, 1854, to Frances Powell, who is 'still alive. The present proceedings had been in stituted by Mr. Powell, the brother of defendant's wife, who stated that Elizabeth Phillips was his (Pow ell's) wife's sister. The examination and cross-examination of Mr. Smith occupied a very considerable time, and was very peculiar. He could not remember this particular registration, and his answers, therefore, bad only reference to his usual mode of doing business. He could not swear that de fendant ever gave the name of " Perfitt," as the mother of the child, and he would not swear that he ever told him the maiden name was Phillips, but he must have assented to it. If he did not put the questions, they were always put in his presence. Mr. Pairy submitted that there was nothing in either the law or the fact to sustain the present charge. The act of Parliament did not contemplate any information whether the mother was married or not, neither infor mation of legitimacy ; nor would it be inconsistent with the circumstances of the case for the defendant to have given the name of Perfitt, because that was a reputed name ; although, so far from there being any evidence of his having done so, the registrar had stated that it was his practice to assume that the mother and father were married, and that he bad inserted it as a matter of usage. Defendant had never alleged or shown in any way that Elizabeth Phillips was his wife. Supposing the case to have been proved, " the name and maiden surname" had been fairly given, if the surname were the name of repute. Mr. Arnold observed that the case was one of im portance, and he would postpone his decision till Friday. Defendant entered into his own recognisances to ap pear on that day. • MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—James Eastgate was brought before Mr. Bingham cbarged with having com mitted a forgery, in order to defraud the trustees of the National Provident Institution, St. Martin's-place. John Marshall Olive, clerk at the institution, said— On the 6th of January, the prisoner opened an account by depositing a shilling, for which he received a pass book in which to register future payments. On Satur day evening, about three months afterwards, the pri soner brought the deposit book, and said he wanted to give notice of his intention to withdraw 4/. Witness looked at the book, and found that several fictitious en tries had been made in the book, and these entries pur ported to bear the signature of Willis and Jones, and of the clerk who took the original and only deposit of one shilling. The forgery was immediately detected, and witness asked the prisoner if the book had ever been out of his possession. The prisoner said his mother-in law had kept it for some time. There were no clerks of the names of Wills or Jones in the bank. Edward Boodle, secretary, said the prisoner w as brought to him by last witness. He asked the prisoner how much he claimed of the bank. The prisoner replied "Four pounds." He asked the prisoner if he had em ployed any one to pay in the money. The prisoner re plied, he had paid it in himself. He told the prisoner the affair was a serious one. The prisoner then said, his father had brought the money to the bank for him. The book was detained, and the prisoner allowed to go away, in order to fetch his father. The prisoner did not return, and he was subsequently given into custody. The prisoner declined to make any defence and was remanded for a week. Matthew Cooper, described as a gentleman, was charged with steali ig a gold chain, the property of Mr. Packer, jeweller, Regent-street. The prisoner went into the shop and asked to see some chains. He selected one, and while the shopman's at tention was engaged, he secreted another. The shop man missed the chain and taxed the prisoner with the theft. The prisoner put the chain on the counter with his arm, and wanted to make out that the abstraction was a❑ accident. Remanded. SOI7THWARS.—Ann Carmoody was charged with the following robbery. Thomas Flynn, a waterman, said that about 9 o'clock the preceding night, he was proceeding along Church street, Blackfriars-road, towards his home, at Bankside, when the prisoner suddenly sprang from a dark door way, and clasped her arms round him tightly, at the same time asking him what was the time. While en deavourieg to disengage himself from her he felt her hand in his pocket, and as she wai in the act of withdrawing it be seized hold of her arm, and charged her with rub bing him of his money. She made use of an oath, and struggled hard to get away, but witness kept hold of her until a constable came, and then he gave her into cus tody. Witness was perfectly sober, and had just left off work. At the time he was stopped by her be had in his pocket a five shilling piece, a half-crown, &c., and a me tal ticket used in his employment. Philip Brown, 15 M, said when she was given into his custody he found in her right hand half-a-crown, fivepence in coppers, and a metal ticket, which the pro secutor identified as his property. Sarah Ann Fensom, the female searcher at the station house, said she asked her whether she had any more money. She replied that she had not, hut witness found in her bosom a five-shilling piece. Committed for trial. Mr. Richard Early, the master of the ship Northum berland, trading between the port of London and Aus tralia, was summoned by Win. Tress, steward of that vessel, to show cause why he refused to pay him 301., alleged to be due to him as wages. Mr. Pelham, who appeared for the complainant, said he shipped for the voyage to Port Philip and back, at the monthly wages of 31. 10s. At Port Philip four of the crew deserted, and atter remaining there seven weeks the captain signed and executed an agreement at the back of the ship's articles to give his client and the re mainder of the crew 51. a month for the voyage back to London. On arrival in the latter port the captain re fused to pay that sum. A solicitor, who attended for the defendant, contended that the agreement was useless, and entered into under fear. The fact was the crew were deserting his ship, and to keep those he had on board, he (the captain) was compelled to resort to some stratagem. The learned gentleman cited two cases decided by the judges, " that where seamen .signed articles for a specified sum per month for the voyage, and the captain to keep his crew together home bad resort to a fresh agreement of higher wages, such wages could not be recovered." It was only the surplus that his client refused to pay. Mr. A'Beckett said lie bad no duubt the judges were correct in their judgment, and the summons must there fore be dismissed. WORSHIP-STREET.—Elizabeth. Lambert, the wife of a carrier in Qu-..en's Head-walk, Kingsland, was charged with cruelty to a child. Mrs. Eliza Grey, a widow lady residing in the Kings land-road, stated—l k now t h e prisoner , from her dealing in vegetables close t o my h ouse, and know that she had a child named Edward Clarke under her care. I have not seen her in the act of ill-using the child, but I have heard its painful cries very frequently, and at 10 o'clock last night they were renewed worse than ever. They were so serious that I and my father went to her door and listened, and distinctly heard her dash the child down on the ground, and, from the sound, it appeared to me to come upon its head. I then heard her trying to hush it, and stop its cries, and I knocked at the door. A man, I believe her husband, opened it, and on getting in I found the child sitting on the floor. I asked the prisoner how she could be so cruel as to ill-treat the little creature in that manner, and she replied it was because it had made a mess. I went to take the child up, but she pushed it from me, and I then saw blood on the pri soner's gown. I pointed it out to her, but she made no reply, and another woman came in and demanded the child from her. On a former occasion I questioned her about the bruises I had seen upon its person. i have re peatedly noticed fresh marks of ill-usage upon it, and the one now above the left eye and the other on the top of its head, from which the blood has flowed, are both freshly done since I last saw it. I remonstrated with the husband for letting his wife illuse it so, and he re plied that he did not think she had hurt it much. Miss Emma Jennings, last witness's sister—While at supper I heard a sharp slapping sound and the prisoner scolding the child. It sounded to me as if she were shak ing it, and then a sound as if it had been thrown on the floor. Prisoner was in a great passion, and the child shrieked, as it were, inwardly. My sister, before this, questioned the prisoner about the child's contusions, and she said it had fallen on a fender. The child was here produced in court by a nurse of the Shoreditch workhouse, to which it had been taken. It was an intel:igent little boy, about two years old, but very thin, and on its person being exp osed for examina tion whole bruises o extentf a of its back, its head bad character were ead a nd forehead v isible nearly the were completely covered with contusions, and, in fact, the re injured. Mr. scarcely a part of it that was not m o re or less Mr. D'Eyncourt—Poor little creature ! it is cert.iiuly in a most pitiable state, and (to the fir-t witness) I feel bound to say that great credit is due to you for your humane interference. Sturgeon, 492 and foun N At the instigation of the first witd nes* I w en t to the prisoner's house last night, . , the p r i soner with the child in her lap. On seeing me she thrust the eliild under the counter. The child was sobbing, and I demanded to Fee it. She said there was nothin g the matter v.ith it as she had only given it a w hiPPing, but I persisted, and on her taking it out I beenan dzrzabsuhts saw it wa.s bleeding slightly from the nose, as if it had s iz li;p: l tzd k . no ! ir. ask o e c a l e h x e a r tn h in o i w eg t t li l a e t e w h a il s d , I found brlises, some ld, some recent, all over its body.

The first witness eurged the prisoner,,7hTia - 4, tii.?l,o,il ? outody atd on the road to the station she told me that the was receiving 4s. and two leaves weekly from the officers of St. Luke's parish for the care of the children. There are several bruises on the head of this child which have come out fresh since last night. Mr. D'Eyncourt--Where are the parents of the child ? Mr. Ross (relieving officer of Shoreditch parish)—l am given to understand, sir, that their parents have deserted them. In answer to the charge the prisoner said that the child had fallen on a piece of iron and hurt itself ; the cut on its head bad been produced by a comb ; she had no children of her own, bad been married about eight months, and had had the children from the parish soon after she was married. Mr. D Eyncourt—l should wish the parish surgeon to see the child at once. Mr. Ross—l will have both children, Sir, conveyed to our workhouse, and will see to the proper medical ex amination of this cne myself. Mr. D'Eyncourt thereupon remanded the prisoner until that day week, and, on the woman asking to be admitted to bail, he refused to accept it. THE "JOKING" IN THE ENNIS 7ILLENS -SERGEANT BR,O Dig IN PiilS9N. (Prom the Z:outh,Eastern Gazette.) As the ire of those officers who have been conspicuous in the late disgraceful proceedings increases in vehe mence, and displays itself in the persecution of the un offending Serjeant Brodie, of the Ist Royals, so does the sympathy of the public evince itself in the condem nation of men who belie the title of "gentlemen," to which they lay claim. Hitherto the public have treated their "jokes " with contempt, but a sterner course of procedure will follow, we have no doubt, the following narration of " incidents " that have marked these almost unprecedented occurrences. As our materials are derived from the best possible sources, it will be as well to take up the case at the appearance of the Acting-Adjutant-General Foster, at the Barracks on Saturday week, of whose inquiry a brief outline was given in our last. Serjeant Brodie having been brought into the orderly-room, the Acting-Adjutant-General questioned him as to the occurrences on the morning of the duel, and took down the answers, withthe exception of the statement of the serjeant that Adjutant Webster ordered the guard to " knock him (Brodie) down with the butt-end of their carbines, if he resisted them." The general said he did not wish to hear that. Adjutant Webster was present during the inquiry, and repeatedly laughing, and telling the general that " half of Serjeant Brodie's statements were lies." Serjeant Brodie was then sent back to his room a prisoner, and in about half-an-hour again taken to the orderly-room, when Lieut.-Colonel M`Queen, Adjutant Webster, Lieut. Hartopp, and other officers were present, but the general had left. The colonel addressed the serjeant saying, "I have taken upon myself to have you brought back, to inform you that I release yOu, on my own responsi bility ; you don't know your duty, There's not another man in the service that would have done as you have done. I can tell you that there is a serjeant-sad dler made in your place, out with the regiment, and you can't hold your situation as serjeant-saddler much longer, for you will have to go to your duty." Serjeant Brodie expressed his regret, but said, " That (pointing to Web ster) was the man he went out to save." The serjeant was then released. Last Wednesday, however, at about ten o'clock at night, the regimental serjeant went to Brodie's room, and informed him that it was his (the ser jeant's) duty to place him (Brodie) under arrest, "for making false statements affecting the character of an officer." He was accordingly arrested. On the next morning (Thursday) the serjeant was ushered into the orderly-room, and the charge read over to him, when he declined making any statement in answer to it. He still remains under arrest, but up to yesterday evening no legal charge or order of court-martial had been served on him. Serjeant Brodie had been in the regiment 18 years, and never before been under punish ment, or charged with any dereliction of his duty. With respect to the charge now brought against the sergeant, his friends represent the following as the real facts. About five weeks since, Baumgarten represented that he was in want of money, and trodie offered to get him some, and subsequently' the watch belonging to the former was transferred to the possession of the latter, who advanced 201. on it, as Brodie viewed the matter ; but it appears, from Bautegartente statement, that he looked upon the transaction as a bona fide purchase, and not as a loan. Shortly after, Brodie math ertently told a Mr. Hullam (the veterinary surg - ,on) of the affair, in confidence, and hence it became known to the officers. As a proof of the extent of persecution and annoyance now exercised towards the sergeant, it is stated that Captain Fitzwygrarn, Lieutenant Hartopp, and Lieu tenant Webster have given strict orders that no work whatever is to be taken to him. So much for the case of the sergeant; let us now turn to Cornet Baumgarten. Here is a brief glance at his experience, since entering the Royal Enniskillen Dra goons, also drawn from authentic sources. About a week or ten days after joining the regiment, while read ing in his room with a college friend, the door was burst open suddenly, the lights extinguished, and three or four officers entered, one of them with a shovelful of hot coals, over which was sprinkled some Cayenne pepper. A. most suffocating vapour was thus produced, and upon the window being opened by Mr. B umgerten, a quan tity of water was thrown in. A few days after that the room door was again burst open, the drawers con taining his linen and regimentals completely filled with water, and filthy water poured into the ewer. This treatment led Baumgarten to complain to his own cap tain, Fitzwygram, who assure-I him that it should not occur again, as he (Captain Fitzwygram) would use his influence to prevent it. A very short time after that, however, Baumgarten's room door was again broken open, and three or four officers entered in. Baum garten was then in bed, and the place in darkness. His drawers were all turned over and their contents spread about the room, while a quantity of broken glass was thrown upon the bed, as well as water. Baum garten jumped out of bed and struck one of the in truders in the face, and a fight ensued ; eventually the officer succeeded in driving his tormentors away. Upon looking at the room afterwards it presented a perfect wreck, everything being destroyed that could be broken. The plume of his helmet was cut to pieces, while the stable was visited, and the forelock of his charger cut off close to the skin, the latter bleeding from the operation, and the animal being deprived of its tail, thus rendered it valueless for a time as a charger. Baumgarten could put up with such treatment no longer ; he accordingly, on the next morning, complained to the acting colonel M'Queen. That officer began to inquire into the matter seriously, when Webster, the acting adjutant, made an apology to the insulted cornet, and promised that if he would withdraw the charge, he (Webster) would gua rantee that no further annoyances would take place. Baumgarten, acting upon that promise, withdrew the complaint. But a few days, however, had elap-ed, before the annoyances were repeated with greater violence than ever, seven windows of his room being broken at once, as well as the looking-glass; a brush out to pieces and placed in the bed ; a private drawer broken open, and the manuscripts and papers cast on the floor ; and on another occasion an improper charac ter was pushed into his room and the door fastened, so that Baumgarten was obliged to let himself out of the window to the ground, and go round, after the officers had left, unfasten the door, and send the intruder adrift. He then complained to Captain Fitzwygram, who pro mised to inquire into the matter ; but no apology was made to the outraged cornet, and the arrangements re specting the duel subsequently took place. Since thataffair oceuireel, Captain Fitzwygram visited Cornet Baumgarten, and told him eertain conditions that were required to he complied wiih by him, by the offi cers of the mess, and subsequently committed such con ditions to writing, and handed the paper to the cornet, requesting him to sign them, and retire from the service, or he would be forced to quit the army in disgrace. These conditions were to the following effect :-Ist. To state that sufficient grounds had been discovered respect ing his early career to induce the officers to treat hiM with contumely. 2d. That Lord Shaftesbury should, in the House of Lords, through. an explanation and state ment furnished by him (Cornet Baumgarten) make a retraction of the statement his lordship had made to the House of Lords, to the effect that " the acts of the offi cers towards Baumgarten were filthy and disgusting, and could not be tolerated among Christian gentlemen, where the commanding officer was a Christian and a gentleman." The last condition was, that he (Baum garten) should immediately retire from the regiment. Of course Cornet Baumgarten refused to comply with such conditions, and there the matter stands now. It is understo o d that a full detail of the whole particulars has been furnished to Lord Shaftesbury and the Hon. Mr. Stanley, and the public may therefore rest assured that if the Horse Guards fails to punish such flagrant acts of injustice and disgusting tom-foolery that have been displayed towards both the cornet and the sergeant, in a manner commensurate with their character, the British legislature will take the matter in its hands, and, we hope, mete out fair and impartial justice to all parties. It should be stated that Lieut. Webster has been re lieved of his adjutancy, and the colonel has been sum moned to town. It is understood that the services of Mr. T. T.

CANTERBURY, TUESDAY.—Sergeant Brodie remained confined to his room until 10 o'clock this morning, when the orderly-room clerk was sent to inform him that his presence was required in the orderly-room. When the sergeant reached the room, he found the Acting-Colonel M'Queen, Captmin Fitswygram, and Cornet Baumgar ten, already there. The colonel then read a paper, the usual preliminary form for a court-martial, and at its conclusion informed Brodie that be was discharged from arrest by order of the Adjutant-General, who expressed his opinion that Baumgartieu ought not to have been on ouch terms with a non-commissioned officer. BARNUM'S ELEPHANT.--Passengers who travel by the New York and New Haven cars have a grand chance of "seeing the elephant!' Going from New York, the cars pass the farm of P. T. Barnum, a mil e or so before reaching Bridgeport, Ct. On that farm, and in plain view from the railroad, an elephant may be seen every pleasant day, attached to a large plough, and doing up the "sub-soiling " in fiat-rate style, at the vale of about three distinct double-horse teams. The animal is per fectly tractable. His attendant rides him, while a coloured man guides the plough. The elephant is also used for carting large loads of gravel in a cart arranged purposely for him, and in drawing stone on a stone boat or drag, in piling up wood, timber, &c., and in making , himselfgengrally utafg).-JAD Pork Trauma . I SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER.--TUESDAY. Settling upon the Chester Cup commenced on Satur day, and has since progressed satisfactorily, the layers of the odds being no gainers by the industry they have displayed in betting upon that long-pending event, all of them, without exception, having laid their full amount against Scythian. The question of what would have been the probable result had the horses been started at the proper place, is frequently discussed, and various are the opinions upon it. But the conduct of Mr. Hibburd, the starter, meets with general censure, it being conni dered by all that he committed an egregious error, by starting the horses fully a quarter •of a mile before they had arrived at the proper place, thereby increasing the distance to two miles and a half, which must have been prejudicial to the chances of those horses whose forte is a shorter distance. We are of opinion that he has estab lished a dangerousprecedent, and that its reception ought to be protested against ; for,if astarter is allowed to have such a prerogative, it will become needless to fix distances, and jockeys will never be able to form any idea when they may be called upon to start, and no coubt that the untimely start in question accounts in some measure for W. Day's three horses (which includes the favourite) being so much in the rear when the fl :.g dropped, as a start from that point would not for a moment be anti cipated by the jockeys. Yesterday the betting upon the Derby and Oaks underwent a considerable change ; for the latter, Habena, receded from 5 to 2 to 5 to 1; and for the former event, Lord a tne Isles was backed at 5 t:) 1, that figure being offered agst St. Hubert. De Clar4 was in great force, at 6 to 1. To-day, although there was a good muster, we saw very little betting, beyond what was done upon the Suffolk Stakes. Habena, for the Oaks, was in better odour, 3 to 1 being the highest offer against her ; 5 to 1 was taken freely about either St. Hubert, or Lord of the Isles, for the Derby, and 110 to 20 was taken about De Clare. Offers to hack three against the field, and to bet agst any one naminea horse that will be in the first three. 6 ponies t. 1 was taken about Game keeper, for the Cleveland Handicap. The following is the latest betting : CLEVELAND HANDICAP. 6to 1 agst Gainekeeper (taken) DERBY. 9 to 2 agst St. Hubert (5 to 1 taken freely) 9 to 2 agst Lord of the Isles (5 to 1 t. freely) 100 to 20 agst De Clare (taken) 10 to 1 agst Rifleman (offered) 100 to 9 agst Wild Dayrell (offered) 100 to 6 agst Grwculus Esuriens (offered) 20 to 1 agst Kingstown (take 25 to 1) 20 to 1 agst Flatterer (take 25 to 1) 50 to 1 agst Benhams (taken and offered) 50 to 1 agst Noisy (offered—take 66 to 1) 50 to 1 agst Vexation colt (offered) 100 to 1 a.gst Strood (offered) CABS. a 3to I agst Habena (take 4to 1 freely) 6to 1 agst Nettle (offered) Bto 1 asst Capucine (taken) 100 to 9 agst Blooming Heather (offered) 12 to 1 agst Morgan la Faye (taken) 12 to 1 agst Rambling Katie (offered) NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEETING.

A very fine race in with the first two was won by a head ; three lengths between the second and third ; Postulant was fourth, Humguffin fifth, and Katie Stew art sixth. Donald was pulled up and walked in. The sport, wuich was limited to four races, "came off" on portions of the Round Course on the west side of the ditch. By this arrangement the celebrated "Row ley Mile Plate," which has more than once brcught out a Derby winner, became for the nonce the " Bunbury Mile Plate." The following note, extracted from the 13th number of the Racing Calendar, explains the reason of the altera tions of the courses at this meeting : " A great part of the races this week are on the Round Course and Bunbury Mile, where the ground is very good, being reserved for use in the summer ; and if the dry weather continues the other races not yet closed will be run on the same ground, corresponding distances, namely—T.Y.C., on the new T.Y.C. ; half mile races, the Chesterfield Stakes course ; and mile races, the 8.M., &c. The courses will be declared at the time of entering each evening." The weather was cold, cloudy, and showery, and the attendance of company remarkably scanty. Acrobat has arrived.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. ( Front the Report of the Registrar-General. ) The present return discovers an increase in the deaths of the week that ended last Saturday on those of the two previous weeks. Having been in these weeks 1,087 and 1,132, they rose last week to 1,185, of which 597 were deaths of males and 588 of females. In the ten corresponding weeks of the year 1845-54 the average number of deaths was 990, which, if raised fur increase of population by a tenth part for the purpose of compari_ son, becomes 1,089. It appears that nearly 100 deaths occurred last week more than the ordinary rate of mor tality would have produced. Last week the births of 845 boys and 779 girls, in all 1,624 children, were registered in Lnrigon. In the ten corresponding weeks of the year 1845.54 the average number was 1,507. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.844 in. The reading of the instrument rose to 30.11 in. by nine o'clock a.m. on the last day of April, which was the highest reading in the week. The mean temperature was 44 degs., which is 7 degs. below the average of the same week in 38 years. It was the same as in the preceding week. The mean temperature was below the average on every day of the week, and on Friday the extent of depression below,the average was so great as 11 degs. The mean temperature of that day was only 40.8. The highest temperatures of Thursday and Saturday were 63.0 degs. and 63 . 6 degs., and these were the highest in the week. The lowest temperature in the week occurred also on Saturday, and was 28.3 degs. ; the lowest on Thursday was 281 degs. The mean dew-point temperature was 37 . 7 degs., and the difference between this and the mean temperature of the air was 6.3 degs. The wind blew generally from the north-east. No rain fell, except a slight quantity on Monday and Tuesday. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS. NUMBER OF DEATHS FROM ALL CAUSES REGISTERED IN THE WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, MAY 5.
