HIS MAJESTY AND THE BISHOPS. We take the following from the Standard of last 'light, we ourselves knowing nothing about the mat ter ; but we cannot help suspecting that somebody has imposed upon our zealous contemporary, who has allowed his feelings and his desires to blind his h dgruent....—Tinte.s. [ln this suspicion we cordially 4 g r ee.—En. Sun.] It will be seen by the Court Circular, that the Afrehbishops and Bishops, preceded by the Archbishops Ca nterbury and Armagh, waited upon the Sovereign with a dutiful and affectionate birthday address of con gratulation, w hi c h was d e li vere d i n th e R o y a l closet by 1 ,, t 1e Most R ev .

" After a short conversation, in which his Majesty kid, among other things, I now remember you have right to require of me t o b e resolute in the defence e the church,' the king proceeded— " ' I have been, by the circumstances of my life, 1 / 4 d by conviction, led to support toleration to the ut 140ist extent of which it is justly capable ; but tolera ti °ll must not be suffered to go into licentiousness ; it b it s bounds, which it is my duty and which I am 1 ° lved to maintain.

" His Majesty was affected to tears during the de livery of this declaration, and concluded the interview by inviting the prelates to partake of the Holy Com munion with him at the Chapel Royal, on Tuesday, the fad of June." LEITH ELECTION. (Abridged from the Edinburgh Weekly Journal of Wednesday.) NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES. Yesterday being the day fixed for nominating the candidates for the representation of this district of burghs, the town was on the qui wive long before 12 o'clock, the hour when the proceedings com menced, and crowds of people continued to assemble from Musselburgh, Portobello, and Newhaven. The two candidates, the Lord Advocate (Murray) and Mr. Aitchison, along with their friends, took different sides of the hustings, which were erected, as formerly, immediately before the Exchange buildings. Among the Lord Advocate's friends on the plat form we observed Provost White, Sir T. Dick Lauder, Mr. Mansfield, of Midmar, Lord Dean, of Guild Macfie, Bailies Wishart and Veitch, Mr. Alexander Miller, merchant, Mr. Wm. Thornburn, merchant, Mr. Gabriel Wilson, Musselburgh,'Pro vost Bailey, of Portobello, Counsellor Thomson, Captain Carnegie, Mr. G. Crichton, Mr. Leonard Homer, Mr. J. Craig, merchant, Counsellor Carnie, &c. Mr. Aitchison was attended by Sir John Hope, Sir David Milne, Mr. Pringle, of Whytbank, Col. Aitchison, Mr. Mowbray, merchant, Mr. Hardie, merchant,. Mr. J. Duncan, merchant, Mr. Bruce, of Kennett, Mr. H. G. Bell, advocate, Mr. D. Milne, advocate, &c. The friends of the Lord Advocate wore blue favours, and those of 'Mr. Aitchison crimson. Provost WHITE then came forward, and after a few observations on the high qualifications of their late representative, the Right Hon. the Lord Ad vocate, said, that he was sure he could not propose any one more worthy of their acceptance, particu larly if the unwearied attention he had already bestowed upon their interests could be any recom mendation in his favour. (Loud cheers, and hisses from Mr. A.'s party.) Provost BAILEY of Portobello seconded the no mination. Mr. HARDIE begged to propose Mr. Aitchison, younger, of Drummore, as the most fit and eligible person to represent this district.—(Great cheering, nand followed by groans and hissing.) Mr. H. G. BELL seconded the nomination. The LORD ADVOCATE then came forward amidst great cheering and said, I have now to call your at tention to the condition in which I now stand before you, to meet any statement made on the other side by the gentlemen who proposed Mr Aitchison. The gentleman who spoke first on that side, said a great deal, but I think the only part that appears to me to deserve notice is a statement, that on some occasion or other, as I understand at the last elec tion, I had sneered at the town or the inhabitants of Leith. I say it is untrue—state the day—state the tire. Mr. HARDIE—On the hustings at last election. - The LORD ADVOCATE—DO you state that, Sir? Then I appeal to every man here who was then on the hustings, if that is not an untruth. (Voice in the crowd, " It is a lie.") Great confusion here ensued, in the midst of which the Lord Advocate appealed to the Sheriff, who said, " I certainly do not remember of Mr. Murray, at last election, saying anything against Leith, or its inhabitants." (Great cheering.) The LORD ADVOCATE—I will take no farther notice of any thing said by Mr. Hardie. I am asked what I have done for this town. (Cheers.) I refer on this point to those with whom I had any communications in reference to the bill lately brought in by me, and now pending in Parliament, for the improvement of the harbour and docks of Leith. I consider no matter more interesting to Leith than the improvement of the harbour, the lowering of the dues which are oppressive, and above all, making it accessible for steam-ships, which now embrace a very important part of the trade. The Lord Advocate then alluded to the conduct of Mr. Aitchison, and the votes he had given at the meetings of the freeholders of the county, saying, that on all occasions when he (the Lord Advocate) and a small minority of his friends had supported liberal measures, in opposition to the policy of the Liverpool government, they had got no aid from Mr. Aitchison, who, according to his own account, was now become a reformer. (Laugh ter.) He had also heard it said that the Catholic emancipation measure of the Duke of Wellington was too liberal for Mr. Aitchison's Ideas. He then referred to the late Perthshire election, at which he said was exhibited the landlord marching to the poll with his unwilling tenants, and the factor bringing up the rear, forcing them up to vote against their free will and opinions. What had been done in other places had been attempted here, but amongst the honest electors of Leith such attempts would be of no avail. He had been appointed to a high and honourable office, without any solicitation on his part, and he entered upon it with an anxious desire to fulfil its duties ; and, having already passed a long time in considering those questions connected with their in terests, to which he had devoted himself while in Parliament, he did not think that by the acceptance of office, he would be less able to discharge his duties to them'. His hon. opponent had said, that if he (Mr. A.) lost his election, Leith would become a Treasury borough ; but what were the great ad vantages of reform ? That no such thing now ex isted as a Treasury borough. The Tories, the op ponents of reform, lamented that they were put an end to. But, as they no longer existed, the spon taneous suffrages of the electors of Leith must be what he must look to ;—they must either elect or reject him. No Government had the smallest power to influence them on that point. Before concluding, he begged to read a communication he had sent to Mr. Aitchison, and that gentleman's answer. The learned lord then read these documents, which are to the following effect. He had asked Mr. Aitchison if he would join him in a proposition to allow all the electors who at present stood upon the roll, to vote at the ensuing election without oath or chal lenge, which would save a great deal of trouble, and make the election go on with little trouble, more smoothly as well as rapidly. Mr. Aitchison de clined this proposal, as he was advised, that if he agreed to it he would be doing injustice to those who had the legal qualification. (Great hissing from the friends of the Lord Advocate, and cheering from those of Mr. Aitchison.) The learned lord concluded with calling on his supporters to come to the poll, and he was confident they would carry the day by an overwhelming majority. (Great cheering, mixed with laughter from Mr. A.'s friends.) The Lord Advocate again exhorted them to hear Mr. Aitchison patiently. Mr. AiTcHisoN then came forward amidst con siderable confusion, caused by the conflicting cheers and hisses of both parties. He said—Electors of this district, allow me in the first place to return my warm!st thank to his lordship - for the kindness with wl.i .h he has solicited your rttnntions to ine ; but had ou attended better to 11 . 1 e, I should has been better able to answer the statements be ,leas made to you. (Laughter and hisses.) But, first, with regard to the letters he has just read, I can only say, that I have been accustomed to pay due submission to the law, and I would never lend my self to such an open breach of it as the Lord Advo cate has proposed. - (Hisses, laughter, and cheers.) What did the Lord Advocate propose as the means to promote his election ? That I should admit to the poll individuals who had no legal claim to vote. —( Here great confusion occurred in consequence, as far as we could learn, - for we could not see the circumstance, of some of the indivi duals in the crowd laying hands on one of the flags carried by Mr. Aitchison's supporters. Colonel Aitchison appealed to the sheriff, but order was restored without his interference.) These (said Mr. A. alluding to the above circumstance), are the means by which my learned opponent hopes to carry his election, by attempting to secure the influence of the non-electors. Gentlemen non-electors, upon you, I am told, the election depends,—how, lam not aware. Of you, the working classes, I would ask, what claims the Lord Advocate has upon your suffrages' Does he maintain our sailors Does lie maintain our carpenters—those men who are the sinews of trade ? (Great cheering from Mr. A.'s friends.) lam unwilling to detain you long, be cause the cause I have come forward to advocate is not my cause ; it is not a contest between two in dividuals ; it is a contest of principles that I advo cate, and I call upon you to assist me ; the cause of Leith against Edinburgh ; the cause of trade against law ; the cause of independence against place, and you may be assured I will not desert you. I will direct your attention to the conduct of the Lord Advocate. He has deserted his post at the most importdnt period of the session ; he came down here and canvassed by himself and by his associates —not only canvassed you, but made you sign your names, pledging yourselves to come forward, and that before there was any vacancy. Was that fit conduct for a man, the representative of a popular constituency ? He tells you that his services were so much esteemed that he was offered a place more than 20 years ago ; but, gentlemen, I never was offered a place—l work for my daily bread like yourselves, and I have held no sinecure for fifty years. I have asked the support of Radical, Whig, Tory, and Conservative, and I am glad to say I am supported by them all. My gallant friends of Newhaven have come forward to a man for me ; the voters of Leith in my favour outnumber my opponents. (Hissing, " No, no," and cheers.) The sheriff then called for a show of hands, first for the Lord Advocate, and then for Aitchison ; when the former having a very decided majority, the sheriff declared to that effect. A poll was then demanded on behalf of Mr. Aitchison, and the sheriff then intimated that the first day's poll would commence on Thursday, at nine o'clock in the morning ; the , second day's on Friday, at eight o'clock in the morning ; and the result would be declared from the hustings on Mon day at one o'clock. The crowd then gradually dispersed, after each party cheering their candidate. THE PITT CLUB.—The Anniversa'ry of the birth of the Right Hon. William Pitt was held yester day at the City of London Tavern. Colonel Conolly was in the chair supported by the Duke of Wellington and the Earl of Eldon. Official information has not yet been given, owing to the Bank holyday, respecting the amount of dissent to the reduction of the Four per Cents., but it is understood, from authority on which tolerable reliance may be placed, to be about 3,900,0001. An opinion seems to prevail in many quarters, that this result has not been altogether unforeseen by Lord Althorp, and that his Lordship, in order to be pre pared for such a contingency, has a sum in hand ex- 1 ceeding 2,500,000/., which he will not be sorry to employ, looking at the current rate of interest in the market, in paying off the Four per Cent. dissentients. For this we are inclined to believe that there is some foundation, and even if that were not the case, abun dant means would be found, by the aid of the Bank, the East India Company, and the private capitalists, for taking on the terms proposed—i. e., an exchange of Three-and-a-Half per Cent. stock, that, or a far greater amount of dissented Four per Cents. The ' untoward" character of the proceeding, however, consists in this—that-seeing what the actual state of the money-market is, and the low rate to which inte rest, on good security, has fallen, there should still be found such a degree of distrust in the Administration, among the holders of this particular stock, as to lead to the rejection to that extent of Lord Althorp's offer. Many of them probably will, if matters go on well, regret the course they have taken, but still the exist ence of the feeling, on such evidence, cannot be mis taken.— Times. LIBERTY.—He who wisely would restrain the reasonable soul of man within due bounds, must first himself know perfectly how far the territory and dominion extends of just and honest liberty. The ig norance and mistake of this high point hath heaped up one huge half of all the misery that hath been since Adam.—Milton. AN APPROPRIATE HINT.—A writer in the Edinburgh Review, in an article on secondary punishments, proposes that any transported convict shall be charged in the shape of a debt with the whole expense which his offence has brought upon the coun try—to be liquidated or secured out of the produce of his labour ; and that for this purpose "an account should be kept of the cost incurred for his apprehen sion on the commission of the offence—for the legal proceedings ending in his conviction—for his mainte nance during the period of his punishment—and, lastly, for his removal to the colony." EXTRAORDINARY HAIL STORM.--011 Sunday last, during the time of divine service, a shower of hail fell on the line of road between Drumquin and Dromore, in the county of Tyrone, which surprised all who witnessed it. So great was the fall, that the sur face of the ground, in about an hour, was covered to the depth of six, and in some places eight inches, and so hard and durable was the hail that traces of it were visible at twelve o'clock next day. What is very re markable, the shower confined itself to a vein of the country about eight miles in length, varying from one to three in breadth. All the surrounding places were drenched by a heavy rain ; there was also a good deal of lightning and some thunder during the time. —Lon donderry Sentinel. The Gazette des Tribunaux contains an account of the trial of a young man for the crime of assassinating his mistress, who was pregnant by him. The trial took place last week at the Court of Assize at St. Omer's, and the circumstances, as they were stated in evidence, were as follow :—On the 21st of January last, a young girl named Marie Lefebvre, who was employed as housemaid at the Chateau d'Ambers, in the village of Vendin-le-Viel, was found dead in her room, and bathed in blood. There was a dreadful wound on the left side of the head, and a gun, which had burst, near the corpse, left no doubt that she had been shot at. The murderer, however, not content with firing at his victim, had also inflicted three severe wounds on her stomach with a knife, and had the bru tality to leave her person exposed. The surgeon who examined the body stated that the poor creature was pregnant. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner, a car penter, named Jean Baptiste Rose. It was known that he was frequently at the chateau, and that he was paying his addresses to the unfortunate girl Lefebvre. There were some traces of blood upon the butt of the gun, which indicated that the murderer had received a wound in the hand, and this was the case with the prisoner when he was apprehended. His shoes also exactly corresponded with some footmarks in the gar den, which were so situated as to leave no doubt that they were those of the murderer. Notwithstanding these evidences of guilt, the prisoner, who was present when the b o dy was opened, preserved the utmost in difference, and asked to have the job of nailing up the coffin. Dur ing thi s o p erat i on h e dropped his apron, and perceiving, when picking it up, that there was blood upon his shoe-b uc kl e , h e tr i ed to rub it o ff . This action having been observed, led to other inqui ries, the result of which left no doubt that the prisoner, having taken advantage of the poor girl, wanted to get rid of her, and . that he t oo k t h e means into his own hands. The jury found hi m gu il ty of murder, b u t without premeditation, so that the capital punishment was avoided, and he was sentenced to hard labour for life, and to be exposed in the pillory. SPORTING INTELIAGENCt. EPSON - RACES, May 29. The i!ombinel . attractions of the Derby and of ex ; teemely fine weather collected a very numerous assem blage of people at Epson. We have seldom witnessed a gayer or more animating sight than the road from London and the Downs themselves yesterday presented. The picture was one of true , English mirth, comfo.t, and enjoyment ; pleasure restricted within the bounds of moderation, joyous hurry and confusion without dis order, mirth and plenty. The late Emperor of Russia is said to have conceived a higher notion of the great ness and prosperity of England from a sight of the ships in the pool of the port of London than from any other circumstance. In our humble opinion an Eng lish holiday, such as yesterday, affords a still more sa tisfactory and cheering evidence of prosperity, because it exhibits the will and capacity of the larger bulk of the people, upon whose well-being so much depends,. to avail themselves of enjoyments which are not dis dained by the smaller and more favoured class. As proofs of national prosperity, show us not the riches and pleasures of the wealthy, but the solid comforts and modest enjoyments of the middle and lower orders. It is pleasant to see the humble taxed cart accompany ing the lordly chariot to Ascot and Epsom. Yester day that pleasure could be enjoyed in perfection, there being no lack upon the road of the more splendid equi pages, or of the less glittering, but, as regarded the occupants, not less gay and cheerful vehicles. Furni ture vans, no longer filled with dead but living lumber, jostled the gilt and coronetted coach. The britschka and donkey-cart proceeded side by side. Nothing could be more striking than the appearance of the downs, crowded with gay company and lit by a bril liant sun. All appeared charming and happy. Even the dust (an evil unavoidable except by ladies and gentlemen who wear veils) was on its good behaviour, and swept not the heath in simoom blasts, as on the two preceding days. Add to this that the victualing department was well supplied, that water was not much dearer than wine is everywhere but at Epsom, and that the wine was not a great deal worse than ditch water, and considering everything, what more could any reasonable person desire? Thanks to the new police, or perhaps to Sir Andrew Agnew, petty gambling appears to be discouraged, and the pro fessors of "the thimble-rig" and other vulgar and for bidden arts arc diminished. We grieve to say, how ever, that the snug little hells beneath the stands and betting booths—places frequented by a better dressed order of sinners—still flourish. Their keepers have added the attraction of sherry (which is handed round to the players) to the already too seductive and in toxicating sin of gaming. Spanish wine and French hazard are fearful odds against the virtue of clerks and warehousemen ; it is to be hoped, therefore, that those who have saved our apprentices from being entangled in " prick at the loop" will endeavour to protect the class referred to from the double, and, alas, too power ful stimulus of wine and wickedness at roulette or rouge-et-noir tables. With respect to the running, we refer to the particulars given laelow, and shall only observe that "the Derby," although rather too easily won by Plenipotentiary (a most magnificent horse by the-way ), was nevertheless an interesting race, on ac count of the very fine rate of going throughout, and the good qualities and performance of so many of the field. The old prejudice, that, " happen when it will, there is sure to be rain on the Derby day," has a second time been disappointed ; and those who were wont to complain that the rain and the mud were alike de structive to their comfort and their apparel have had two fair opportunities of ascertaining whether the change to wind and dust has been more conducive to their enjoyments. To us the question appears to be nicely balanced. Against rain you can guard, but who can protect himself against dust ? With a subtle impartiality it visits all parties, penetrates every kind of carriage, and bids defiance to every discription of covering. It is very true that the roads might be watered, but the contractors have something else to at tend to, and are content to receive payment to go to the races themselves. Leaving the discussion of this matter to some more fitting time we will proceed to the immediate business 'of the day, confessing our in ability to impart novelty to a scene of which yesterday was the fifty-fourth anniversary. The main incidents of the road were precisely what:they were last year, and what they have been any day these twenty years, allowing for the difference of weather; it happened, however, that yesterday was the restoration, and this threw into the " field" some hundreds of bank and government clerks, who, exhausting the income of a month in the fleeting pleasnres of a day, contributed to swell the host of desperate youths who were bold enough to essay their skill in horsemanship, as much to their own imminent peril as to the endangerment of his Majesty's less venturesome subjects. The display of equestrianism is in reality one of the most amusing features of the day, and we doubt if even Ducrow himself ever obtained half the notice bestowed upon some of the luckless wights so opportunely (or inopportunely, as it may be) emanci pated from the drudgery of the desk, and the unphi losophical contemplation of pounds, shillings, and pence. A friend of ours experienced in these things assures us that, on entering the Bank the day after the Derby, he can select every one of these adven turous gentry by one simple rule—they are very shy of sitting ! If the equestrian class was numerous there was no lack of vehicles of the usual variety, from the well-appointed four-in-band to the unwieldy green-canopied waggon, drawn by a couple of half starved broken-kneed animals, and moving at a Chan cery-suit pace. Of course, with so vast a crowd, such a number of unskilful drivers, so many crazy machines, and " cocktail " horsemen, accidents were " plentiful as blackberries," but none of them of a nature to make any demand on our sympathies ; wrangles occurred at every turn of the road and at every turnpike, abundant materials for this species of excitement being supplied by the folly of the peoide and the insolence of the toll-collectors. On the Downs the scene was animated beyond description ; the sides of the course leading from Tattenham-corner to the judge's chair were lined with triple rows of carriages, the foot-people being congre gated between them and the rails, and the policemen in front of all, with enough to do to keep them in order. An immense number of carriages were col lected on the hill, but not so many as we have seen on former occasions, a great portion of the company pre ferring to go direct to the Grand Stand. Although we missed some old faces in the Betting Ring there did not appear to be any falling off in numbers • the vociferation and excitement were tremendous till the race was over, its effect on the books being discernible in every face we met. The Grand Stand was, as usual, the " abiding place" of all who studied ease, com fort, and good living, its list of visiters including many distinguished individuals. In speaking of the company we ought not to omit the "conveyancing" department, of which there was a strong muster ; malgre the " lob ster division," they managed to carry on a good stroke of business, and to compl e t e th e i r " trans f ers o f stoc k" with a quickness and dexterity that would have made a Bank clerk "hide his diminished head." In some in stances, however, their exertions met with a reward to which they are more accustomed than reconciled. The tents of rapine" held out the usual attractions to the giddy, the needy, and the avaricious, and were kept in f u ll play. In speaking of the company generally, we ma y say with confidence that it was the most fashion able and numerous that has been seen on Epsom Downs for many years, the line of carriages, &c., being carried considerably beyond Tattenham-corner. It is gratifying to add that the arrangements for preserv ing- order and preventing accidents were so judi ciously made and so admirably enforced that every thing went off in the most peaceable and satisfactory manner. If the journey to the races was so rife of in cident and 'amusement, the return from them was not less so ; by this time those who were before only giddy or unskilful were intoxicated, to the danger of their persons as well as their fellow travellers. The road from Tooting. to the Elephant and Castle was so gn th aa r ry o iee n ts g y e bo d efin w t ith ev s e p n e i c n t g a . tors as to be almost impassable, the young ladies and gentlemen from the various semi drawn up in line adding greatly to the The following is a list of the company as far as the attention necessarily bestowed on the racing and the crowded state of the ground would permit us to col lect :—The Prince of Eckmuhl, the Prince Frederick of Saxe Coburg, the Prince of Moskwa, Count Matus cewic, Count Bathiany, the Duc de Richelieu, M.

The races Were appointed tO commence at half-past two, but it was not till a quarter-past three that the Derby was decided. We give particulars:— THE DERBY STAKES.

Edwards's Intriguer Wright Duke of Cleveland's Guardian Lye It will be seen that, with the exception of the Doll Tearsheet colt, which did not run, the above agrees exactly with the list of horses and jockeys given in our last. Before going into particulars of the betting and the running we may be allowed to introduce a few obser vations. Since the famous race between Cadland, the Colonel, and Zinganee, no Derby has excited so much attention as that now under notice ; nor can we call to mind when the principal favourites have been backed so heavily, or so strongly recommended by public running. It is not a little curious, however, to observe how many mistakes have been discovered in the various races in which they have appeared, in order to qualify defeat and keep the horses in the market. First we have Bubastes and Warlaby Baylock at Doncaster, the latter winning because Bubastes " came too soon." Then we find Glencoe and Plenipotentiary together, and the former is fairly outpaced, outlasted, and, in fact, beaten at his own game ; but it was a " mistake ;" Glencoe ought not to have started at score. After this Glencoe and Bentley meet, and the latter is beaten because the pace was bad, and he short of work. But the grand mistake of all was committed at Tattersall's last week, when 20 to I was betted against Shilelah, who was found not to be amiss, and in two days after was at 6to 1 ! After all it is a very useful comprehen sive word, a panacea for every kind of defeat, whether it may proceed from under or over pacing your horse, or from natural causes. Speculation on the race, without reaching the extra vagant amount staked on former events, has possessed remarkable interest, the horses most heavily backed being in what is called " fancy stables." The New market cracks consisted of Mr. Batson's Plenipoten tiary, trained by George Payne ; the Duke of Cleve land's Shilelah, purchased from Mr. W. Chifney, and trained by his brother the jockey ; Lord Jersey's Glencoe, trained by Edwards, sen. ; and Mr. Yates's Bentley, Cooper trainer. To this formidable array the north country originally opposed Mr. Watt's Bubastes ( Shepherd trainer), Mr. Walker's Delirium ( Scott), and Col. Cradock's Emigrant ( Oates) ; but the two latter having a few weeks since been put hors de combat by accidents, Bubastes became the sole re presentative of the Yorkshire division. What was wanting in numerical strength the party seemed to think was supplied by the extraordinary merits of the horse, who was backed with a spirit and to an amount almost incredible. Various reports had been in circu lation some time previous to the races : Plenipoten tiary had coughed, was short of work, and was " too fat ;" Shilelah had been amiss before he left New market, and had not been seen out, &c. ; while Glen coe and Bubastes were in the finest order possible. These reports had no effect on the - ;betting at the finish, which averaged as follows :- 5 to 2 agst. Plenipotentiary 3 to 1 agst. Shilelah (taken) 7 to 1 agst. Bubastes 10 to 1 agst. Glencoe 18 to 1 ag,st. Comet 20 to 1 agst. Bentley 25 to 1 agst. Intriguer 25 to 1 agst. Defensive 25 to 1 agst. Brother to Marpessa 50 to 1 agst. Viator 60 to 1 agst. Barrossa Some delay was created by one of the horses (Brother to Marpessa we believe) throwing a plate, and still more so by five false starts ; at the sixth at tempt they got away pretty well together, Glencoe and Plenipo being first off; they ran together a few yards, when Conolly gradually stopped his horse till Intriguer, Darius, Paris, Brother to Kate, and Strad bally intervened between him and Glencoe. Shilelah laid more forward than is usual with Chifney, who had a well founded dread of Plenipotentiary; Bubastes was also up with the foremost horses, but never made any show in front. In the above order they went at a good pace till near the rails, where Plenipotentiary was lying inside, the six or seven horses first named being so placed that he was left s only the choice of going round them or waiting till they split. This op portunity was afforded him before he reached the turn, and he immediately dashed through the opening, coming round the corner behind Darius, who was next to Intriguer and Glencoe, the two leading horses. Here Shilelah and Bentley began to get more for ward, and the pace became exceedingly severe. At the road Darius dropped off, and Plenipotentiary, pass ing Intriguer, went up to Glencoe's quarters, ran with him till he found that he was beaten, and Chifney coming went right ahead half way up the distance, and won in a canter by two lengths. Shilelah defeated Glencoe about half a length, the latter beating Bentley by a length. Intriguer was fifth, Darius sixth, and behind these were Bubastes and Muratto. The first horses beaten were Guardian and Brother to Marpessa, nor did Barrossa, Paris, Stradbally, Nisus, Trulla, Comet, Noodle, Brother to Kate, or Trictrac, cut a much better figure at the finish. Olympic, Viator, and Defensive were in the middle ; but all were beaten off from the first three or four. The re sult of this race tallies exactly with the Newmarket running, Plenipotentiary beating Glencoe just as easy now as he did there, Bentley and Viator, by the places they occupied at the end, assisting in its corrobora tion. It is satisfactory to add, that it was a true, honest race ; that the best horse won, and that the two favourites were first and second. Plenipotentiary was the " gentleman's horse ;" that is, he was backed to large amounts by nearly the whole of the noblemen and gentlemen who are in the habit of attending the Newmarket meetings. His running proves that he is what Mr. Batson always declared him to be, the finest and best horse that has been seen on the English turf for many years. Mr. B. wins about 5,0001. in addi tion to the stakes, which amount to 3,4001. clear. The event of the race was received with great satis faction by all except the immediate losers on it. The Bubastes party are stated to be struck pretty hard, as they had not only backed their own horse deeply, but laid on pretty thick against Plenipo. The Shilelah ites, who were very sanguine, have also burnt their fingers. Plenipotentiary's pedigree :—He was bred by Mr. Batson in 1831, got by Emilius (winner of the Derby, and sire of Priam), Harriet (bred in 1819 by Mr. Hammond), and by Pericles, her dam by Selim— Pipylina, by Sir Peter, Rally by Trumpator, &c.

Dr. Wal dron, Roman Catholic Bishop of Killala, was stand ing on a chair in the lobby of his house at Ardnaree, for the purpose of winding his clock, the chair gave way, when he was precipitated against the balustrades, which, also giving way, he fell headlong down the stairs, and was so severely injured that great doubts are entertained of his recovery.—. Dublin Evening Post. A countryman digging a ditch a short time ago near Autun, in the Soane-et-Loire, found an antique seal-stone bearing the head of Nero ; it was of a green colour, full an inch thick, and of propor tionate diameter, and was purchased by a clerk at the Subprefecture for 55 sous. A short time afterwards a rich antiquary, M. Ganay, offered him 200 francs for his bargain, but he refused to accept it, and sent it to Paris, where first 3,000 francs, and afterwards 9,000 francs have been tendered and rejected, the for tunate possessor being confident of obtaining at least 12,000 francs.—Galignan. STRIKE OF TAILORS (FRANCE).--The Journal de l'lndre et Loire of the 22d inst., states that a dispute had arisen at Tours between the master tailors and their workmen, in consequence of the latter requiring an augmentation of two francs upon each coat. The masters have held a meeting, and resolved not to accede to the demand, and, therefore, the shop boards have been deserted, and many of their men have left the town. Similar discussions have been held between the shoemakers and their men, but their differences have been amicably settled. Other trades are threatened with annoyances of the same kind. The Gazette des Tribunalts gives an account of an event as strange as it is deplorable, which has just thrown three honourable families in Paris into dis may. A Mr. C—, residing in the Rue St. Lazare, with his wife, a young and handsome woman, to whom he had been but recently married, was in the habit of receiving at his table a particular friend, a Mr. S—. A few days ago Mr. C_____, from some sinister feeling or jealousy, returned home from his office at an earlier hour than usual. He rang the bell at the outer door leading to his apartment, but no answer was made from within. Mr. c—, thinking it strange, applied his eye to the keyhole, and plainly perceived Mr. S—___. sitting by the side of his wife. The infuriated hus band ran down to the porter's lodge, and asked the porter who was with his wife. The porter denied that any one had been to Mr. C---'s apartment. Mr. C— immediately sent for a locksmith, and upon forcing the door of his apartment, he was struck with horror and surprise at discovering Mr. S by the side of his unfortunate wife—both of them perfectly inanimate. Madame C_____ was cold, but the body of Mr. S— was still warm • and the surgeon who was called in gave his opinion that he might have been restored if assistance had been rendered five minutes sooner. It is impossible to say whether the death of these two persons is to be attributed to suicide, or whe ther they were suffocated accidentally by charcoal. There is ground to suppose the latter, as some char coal was burning very intensely in an iron pot, which . had been placed too forward on the fire-place, so that 1 the fumes from it did not ascend the chimney. There was no disorder in the attitude or dress ('f the two victims.
