COURT OF THE REGENCY. From original Family Documents. The Oaks day invarilbly winds up the Epsom meet ing with considerable éclat. On the present occasion, however, several circumstances contributed to render the proceedings somewhat uninteresting. The numerical strength of the field for the Oaks was insignificant, but the opposition which eet in against Mincepie served to sustain the curiosity with which the event was regarded. The attendance of general company was comparatively scanty, and the people who were present seemed de pressed and wearied by the excitement which they had experiences on the preceding night, while assisting at the " peace celebrations." Very few ladies were in the balcony of the Grand Stand, and the show of carriages on the hill was meagre and ineffective. l'y the Duke of BUCKINGHAM and CHANDOS, K.G., &c.

Mr. Cox objected to the nomination of Sir Morton Peto on the grounds, in the first place, that being a con tractor to the company, which position Mc.

Sir MORTON Piro, in reply to the observations of Mr. Cox, stated that he bad no personal desire to be elected a director, and he would act as such only upon the wik hes of the proprietors. With regard to any supposed existing contracts between the com pany and the firm he represented, he could only state that in the event of his being chosen a director he should feel it to be his duty to take care that any responsibility that rested upon himself should be transferred to hands by whom it would be carried but equally well as if it were executed by himself. With regard to the second objection stated by Mr. Cox, he (Sir M.

MARSHALL, Chtef Ca.skier. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. A general meeting of the members of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday in the Council Chamber, Guildhall ; Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair. The financial statement which was presented showed that the available balance in hand at the Bank of Lon don was 3,6421. 2s. 3d. ; the amount of the deposit ac count, 118,0001. ; the Exchequer Bills amounted to 18,8001. ; and the cash balance at the Bank of England, to 5,0911. 10s. 6i., making a total general balance of 145,5331. 12s. 9d. More than two hours were occupied in discussing certain recommendations of the Wands worth District Board of Works as to compensation of discharged c fficers. The decision was deferred. A discussion ensued as to whether shop fronts should be brought out in fore-courts, which scarcely needs a detailed report. Mr. COLLINSON brought under notice a memorial from Mr. J. F. Wieland, of Glasgow, relative to his plan for embanking the River Thames. It was accom panied by an elaborate model, showing the elevation of the working proposed. The memorialist proposed to erect walls and embankments on both sides of the river, sufficient to create an equable current, and secure, by -increasing its depth, an adequate tidal scour, affording additional facilities for wharfage and navigation, pre serving the foundations of the bridges, and forming a handsomeeind uniform line of river frontage. The plan would, if necessary, comprise railway communication upon the north and south sides of the river. On the north side he proposed to raise a roadway esplanade, partly upon piles and partly upon pillars and arches, to the level of the present bridges, and communicating with them and their approaches, and alsa with the Strand and St. Paul's-churchyard by new roads. The road would extend parallel with the river from west to east, from London-bridge to Charing-cross, and passing through the upper part of Hungertord-market, would open into tbo S rand opposite to the electric clock, and would, therefore, be the nearest road from Charing-cross to the City. The width of the road would be 60 feet from London-bridge to Southwark-bridge, and 80 feet from thence to Hungerford, at an altitude of ahont 40 feet more or less from high-water mark, the river side bounded by a balustrade overlooking the quay and river beneath. He suggested the idea of forming under the esplanade in front of the Temple-gardens a winter garden, which would be about 700 feet long by 80 feet wide, and 35 feet high, effected by glazing the openings of the arches, and if adopted the privacy of the gardens would be retained, and the Templars would still enjoy their river promenades, besides the covered winter garden. Between the Temple-gardens and Somerset house, and also adjoining We s t m i ns t e r-bridge, pi eces o f ground would be reclaimed from the river, presenting excellent sites for public buildings. On the south side of the river, he also proposed that a road be raised to the level of the bridges, but only 40 feet wide, and constructed principally of iron, the arches being so disposed as to admit of three lines of railway running parallel to the river, and under the road, midway between it and the quay beneath, and supported by tubular girders, so that the wharfage operations would be carried on under the railway, and be perfectly independent of any traffic. By this means it was proposed to form a junction with the South- Western Railway, and the groups of railway which had their termini at London-bridge, which would relieve the streets of Southwark from much of the heavy goods traffic. The principle of the buildings would be the same ; to erect on the same site three distinct classes of buildings ; and above the shops dwelling-hous es in flats could be constructed, economising the valuable ground. Mr. WIELAND answered several questions put to him about his plan, but he admitted that he was not an en gineer, nor had be made any estimate as to the probable cost of his plan and the compensation that would be required by different wharfingers along the line. His only object was to get the provisional sanction of this board to the scheme, and if he obtained that then the work would be carried out by a company. On the motion of Mr. Commis bar, seconded by Mr. SAVAGE, the memorial was received. Mr. COLLINSON then moved that the subject be re ferred to the Committee of Works and Improvements. Major LYON took an objection to this, which would necessitate its reference to engineers, and the Committee of Works was already overburdened with business. The motion was then negatived. A letter was read ftom the vestry clerk of St. James's, Clerkenwell, requesting to borrow 5,000/. for 10 years, repayable with interest at the rate of 500/. per annum, for the purp ose o f p a ving Pentonville-hill w i t h gran i te. The application was granted. A. letter was read from Messrs. Harrison and Lewis, solicitors, with notice of appeal of Mr. T. S. Cundy against the decision of the vestry of St. George's, Han over-square, refusing unanimously to grant him com pensation for the loss of his office as surveyor to the trustees of the Grosvenor district. The Board awarded the applicant to give a month's notice of appeal under the act. Mr. Deputy HARRISON brought forward his motion:— " That it be referred to the Finance Committee to con sider and report to this Board in what way the amount required for the construction of the Sewage Interception Works can be most conveniently raised, and report thereon with as little delay as possible." Mr. D'IFFANGER seconded the motion, which was - carried. • The Board then adjourned until Wednesday next. At the first signal an excellent start was effected. Secret immediately went to the front, Victoria, well laid up, go ing on second, Melissa third, C ome dy onrth, Tyne fifth, and Mermaid sixth ; Shadow next. In this order they pro ceed to the top of the hill, where Victoria took a decided lead, Secret following in her track, Melissa going on third, and Tyne fourth, Shot at a long interval bringing up the rear. Nearing the three-quarter-mile post Secret WWI passed by Melissa, and Tyne began to drop off. At this point the favourite was seen to draw for ward, and when within a short distance of Tattenham Corner she took fourth place. On entering the straight Victoria still held the lead, with Melissa in close Ethan-- dance, Comedy and the favourite being third and fourth and fair Geraldine next. When near the distance Co medy dropped off, beaten ; and Melissa deprived Victoria of the lead, the favourite now being third, the others straggling, and evidently quite beaten. Half way up the distance Victoria was in difficulties, and ttre favourite shot past her, caught Melissa opposite the Stand, and, after a very interesting set-to, she achieved the victory by a neck, the second b ating the third by three lengths, same distance betw he third and fourth, Mermaid was fifth, Comedy sixth, hadow seventh, Secret eighth, Shot ninth, and Tyne absolutely last. : The Railway Plate,(Handipap), of 50 sovs. for all ages; any winner after publication of the weights 51b. ex- trti.

THAMES SUBSCRIPTION CLUB. As a more appropriate title, the above is substituted for the "Thames Regatta Club," the inauguration of which was duly noticed by us a few days ago. This recherche gathering of the leading gentlemen of the River Thames is to be precisely upon the same footing as the Royal Thames Yacht Club, and the first monthly meeting of its members will be held at the Freemasons' Tavern, on Monday evening next, when Mr. R. N. Phillips, of Christ's College, Cambridge, will preside. The officers of the club and its committee are then to be appointed, and the code of rules prepared for its governance to be considered. They are 15 in number, and seem to combine every requisite for a club of gen tlemen. The first fairly declares the object of the as sociation to be "The encouragement of rowing on the River Thames, the funds being expended either by offer ing prizes of their own, by subscribing to regattas already established, or by granting pecuniary assist ance to poor or deserving watermen, as the members at a monthly meeting may direct." A "house dinner," similar to that of the Royal Thames Yacht Club, will take place at five o'clock, and precede the meeting. ANTICIPATED GRAND SCULLERS' CONTEST. A challenge is about to appear from Henri Kelly, of Fulham, who defeated John Mackinney, of Richmond, last week, to James Messenger, the champion of the Thames, to row from Patney to the Ship, at Mortlake, for 1001. a. side. It will be remembered that Mepsen ger wrested this proud diatinction from Thomas Cote in the autumn of 1854, at which time Kelly was' thought but little of as a future candidate for the cham pionship. People new 'begin - to entertain a very different opinion, and the fact that he has found backers for such a trial of Ids prowess `ripimlui is favour of Mr. Maule, Mr. Wilson, and Mr. Ward, who had also been nominated stated hat their names had been published without their consent or knowledge. A poll was demanded on the whole list, and scruti neers were appointed. The poll was opened until six o'clock yesterday, to be resumed to-day and Monday next, from ten to four ; and the meeting was adjourned to Wednesday for the declaration of numbers, and the conclusion of the remaining business of the kalf-yearly meeting. The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN (Mr. John Parson) stated his belief that Sir M. Peto could not accept the office of direettir unless he were released from • his existing en. .gagements with the company. At the same time he thought it highly desirable, for their interests, that Sir M. Peto should be upon the board ; and addedthat Mr. Busby, in the event of his being elcted, had offered to retire in favour of Sir M. Peto, when a fitting opportu nity occurred for his so doing. Mr. BIGGAR requested the solicitor of the company to rive his opinion - with regard to the eligibility of Sir M. Pete as a director. Mr. RUMMELL took it that a contract was. in exist ence between the company and Sir M. Pete, and, under those circumstances, he considered he was not qualified to accept the office of director. The CHAIRMAN, after some conversation, decided that he would put the names of all the candi dates proposed individually or associated id the several lista published. The mutt of the show o hands was as follows : Votes. f . Votes. Mr. S. Biker 29) Mr. J. Mellor 3O Mr. E. Brewin , ...... 6 Mr. Busby Mr. J. Capel Mr. W. Cox. 3O Mr. W. Fenton 47 Mr. H.

An extraordinary meeting of this company was held at Derby yesterday, Mr. Ellis in the chair, for the purpose of considering a bill to enable the company to raise addi tional capital. The CHAIRMAN observed that, by the bill in question they proposed to raise 400,000 f in new shares, to borrow one-third that amount, and to take powers to bring to life again those shares which were dead and had become forfeited. The purposes for which the money was wanted, were stated in the following clause :—"And whereas', in consequence of the increased traffic of the Midland Rail way, especially in minerals and goods, it is expedient that the company should be empowered to raise further moneys for enlarging the present, and making additional stations and sidings, buildings and conveniences thereto, and for improving the works of the Midland Railway, and making additions to the working stock thereof." If the increase of traffio continues as it had hitherto done, they would have to make a proportionate increase in their working stock, and also in their stations and sidings. Mr. CARTER (solicitor) read the preamble of the bill and also the marginal notes. • Mr. PARSONS, of Bristol, wished to know if any of the money was intended to go towards the Leicester and Hitchen line. The CHAIRMAN said, the money raised would be ap plied to the various requirements of the company. With regard to the Leicester and Hitchen line, they had plenty of money for that, and he would repeat that his opinion was not changed as to the value of that line. (Hear, hear.) Mr. PARSONS moved an amendment to the effect that the question be adjourned until a future meeting. Atter some further observations from Mr. GEE, who sated his opinion that the directors would spend the whole of the money in ten months. Mr. PARSONS withdrew his amendment, and the CHAIRMAN put the original resolution, which was carried unanimously, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thauks to the Chairman. LEEDS, BRADFORD, AND HALIFAX JUNCTION. _ _ _ The quarterly meeting of this company was held yes terday as Bradford, Mr. W. Walker, presided. Mr. CAWOOD, secretary, read the report of the direc tors. The CHAIRMAN said, the principal object of the meet ing was to declare the quarterly dividend. There was one thing with regard to the declaration of a dividend which they had doubtless observed—viz., that it was necessary, in order to the payment, that 693/. should be drawn from the reserved fund. It was always under stood that this fund should be so applied when rendered necessary by the fluctuations in the state of trade and the quantity of traffic at different periods of the year. At the present moment the traffic was considerably more than usual, and he trusted that at the next quar terly meeting they would not have to apply to the re served fund at til. They were now approaching the time when the Gilderstone coal branch would opened, and he looked for ward to that period with very great expectations that the public at large would be very materially benefitted, while the shareholders would derive a much increased revenue from that source. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. W. PEEL seconded the motion, and it was car ried. A dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum was declared, for the quarter ending March last, on 210,000/. paid up share capital, payable on the 9th of June. It wal explained that the company were paying in terest on 36,000/, of unproductive capital. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro• ceedings. CRYSTAL PALACE CONCERTS. The third of the concerts in connection with the Royal Italian Opera took place yesterday morning. The at tendance was larger than upon either of the two former occasions, from which it may be inferred that the sale of tickets especially for the day was accompanied with advantage. The visitors filled the seats nearly to the curtains next the transept, while the courts under the galleries in the immediate vicinity of the orchestra were crowded. The interest felt in these choice musical re unions is evidently on the inorease. We need hardly do more than cite the encores of the day. They were bestowed upon Gardoni in the romanza from the " Fa vorita," Grisi and Mario in the duet from the "Roberto Devereux," Graziani in the aria from " Don Giovanni," Madame Didiee in that from the "Huguenots," and Mario —most emphatically—in the serenade from the " Pasquale." In fact the whole of the performers were well received, for the visitors at these concerts are dis posed to enjoy what is set before them to the utmost ; and that they confer their applause with a right good will is unmistakeable. Grisi and Mario were both in excellent voicc. One of the finest exploits of the morn ing was the delivery by Madame Jenny Ney of the great scena from the " Oberon," which she gave with a force and dramatic purpoie entitling her to unbounded praise. On this occasion Mr. Costa did not conduct the orchestra, but his place was most efficiently filled by M, Sainton. It is with the deepest regret that we announce the , ecease of Capt. Win. John Cole, R.N., nho de parted this life, surrounded by his family, on Thursday, the 15th inst. Few men were reorer generally beloved than he was. To those who intimately knew him his loss will be great ; but to his family, to whom he was devotedly attached, it will he irreparable. He served his country gallantly for many years,ils the record of his career taken below, from " Olfrne's History of Naval Officers," will tell. As an °finer, a magistrate, a Christian, a parent, and a geratleinau, we may never see his like again. He was exemplary in all the duties of life, end never was so lia,ppy as when planning some thing for the benefi!; of his poor p ar i s hi oners ; but he was strict in encouraging only the sober, honest, and industrious. In him the Queen has lost a devoted sub keen the country a patriot, the poor mai. a true friend, and the service a bright. example. The following sketch of hi; life is taken from " O'Byrne's Naval Bio graphy :" This officer entered the navy sth of January, 1802, as second-class bey, on bean 1 the Buffalo store ship, com manded by that excellent officer the late Captain William Kent, with whom, after visiting India, witnessing the first settlement ever formed in Van Diemen's Land, and p -donning much surveying duty, he returned to England December, 1805, on hoard the Investigator, a very small vessel, whose crew, eel their arrival at Liverpool, were rewarded with double pay for their exertions and the hardships they had endured in having effected a pas sage from Port Jackson to the above place without touching at any intermediate port. The voyage had occupied a period of five months, during eleven weeks o! which the men hrd been restricted to half a pint of water each a day. On becoming attached, as midship man, to the Meduse, 32. Captain the Hon. Duncombe Pleydell Bouverie, Mr. Cole next sailed for the Cape of Good Elope, and thence for South America, where he served in the boats at the capture of Maldonado. While yet on the same station. in the Diadem, 64, bearing the broad pendant at first of Sir Home Popham, and the Wig afterwards of Rear-Admiral Charles Stirling, we find him assiduously employed at the siege of Monte Video, both in dragging up the guns for the advanced batteries and in supplying them with ammunition. During a subsequent attachment, from May, 1.808, to June, 1810, to the Christian VII. 80, Captain Joseph Sidney Yorke, les receiv e d a wassail at the cutting out of a convoy from under a heavy battery in Basque Roads ; served in the ship's cutter at the cap ture of a large gun-beat: off lle d'Aix, where the officer of the French vessel was desperately wounded, and three of his men killed ; and was severely bruised by the explosion of a fire-vessel, While en deavouring, under the late Captain Gardiner Henry Guioe, to lay her on beard a Preach frigate in the road of Ile d'Aix. As a reward for these services, Mr. Cole, on the IStli of July, 1810, was promoted to the Race horse, 18, Captain William Fiaber, to a lieutenancy in the Otter sloop, Captain James Tornkinson, which vessel had, however, sailed for England before he could reach the Isle of France to join her_ He then, although on half-pay, volunteered to fit out. a large prize-frigate, La Bollone, found, on the capture of the latter place, dis masted, and without a bowsprit; after which service be returned to England on board the Entreprenante, 10, Captain Edward Brazi e r, an d became first lieutenant, 17th July, 1311, of the Crocodile, 28, Captains John Filmore, John Richard Lumley, and William Elliott. In that frigate he was actively employed on the Channel, Lisbon, Mediterranean, and Newfoundland stations ; and on one occasion, is July, 1312, displayed much gal- lantry in attempting, with four boats and 62 volunteers, to cut out in open day a detachment of four armed yes. sell, together with'it convoy, lying beneath the batteries in the Bay of Pares, on the coast of France, where the Crocodile's cutter, then under Commander Joe. Roche, was unfortunately sunk by a shot from a national brig. Between 1815 and the date of his promotion to the rank of commander, Bth of August, 1828, Mr. Cole appears to have afterwards served, generally as first lieutenant, and chiefly on the home station, on board the Rhin, 33, Captain Charles Malcolm, Florida. 29, Captains William Elliott and Charles Sibthorp John Hawtsyne, Northumberland, 73, Captains Sir Michasl Seymour, John Harvey, and ThomasJamesMaling ; Cams bridge,Bo,commanded by the latter officer; Prince Regent, 126, bearing the flag of Sir Benjamin Hallowell ; Royal George and Royal Sovereign yachts ; as also in com mand of the Onyx, 10. He obtained, while in the Rhin, the thanks of Captain Malcom, for his ability in con ducting that ship through a difficult navigation, while the latter officer, with all but sixty-two of the crew was engaged on a cutting out expedition in the small harbour of Corrijou, near Abervrach, Bth of July, 1815 —had charge, during his attachment to the Northumber land, of the Seagull and Hightlyer tenders—cruised in the Royal Sovereign, as first lieutenant to H.R.H the Lord High Admiral ; and for his exertions during a violent gale in the same vessel, when conveying to Hol land the Queen of Wertemburg, was mentioned in the despatcnes of Sir William Freernantle to George IV.-- and when in command of the Onyx, ran to the coast of Africa with important despatches and invalids front Fernando Po. From the 6th of July, 1831, until 1834, Captain Cole next held a responsible appointment in the Coast Guard ; on leaving which service he was pre sented by the chief officers and others who had been un der his command with a superb silver snuff-box as a token of their respect and regard for him. He further officiated from the 28th of January, 1836, until paid off in 1837, as second captain of the Revenge, 78, commanded in the Mediterranean by his estimable friend Capt. Wm. Elliott ; but since his attainment of post rank, 1838, has been on half-pay. Captain Cole (who was nominated a K.H. Ist January, 1837, and is a magistrate for the county of Gloucester) Las had the pride, on four separate occasions, of preserving the life of others by imminently hazarding his own—first dur ing his servitude in the Crocodile, when his intrepidity in saving two officers and a seaman from a watery grave procured him, through the hands of H.R.H. the late Duke of Sussex, a first-class gold medal from the Royal Humane Society ; secondly, on his passage to the coast of Africa in the Onyx, when he jumped overboard after a seaman who had fallen out of a stern-boat in the act of being lowered down ; a third lime, in the river Thames, where, in .Tuly, 1335, being at the time a passenger on board the Red Rover steamer, be rescued two gentlemen, Messrs. John Snape and Gilbert Wilson, who had been upset in a wherry by getting under the bows of that vessel ; and, again, in J une 1336, when he plunged into the sea after one of the gunner's crew belonging to the Revenge, who had fallen from the main-chains. He married, 23d October, 1813, Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Robert Wace, Esq., of Lechlade, in the county of Gloucester, anti has issue four daughters. THUNDER SFORM IN SUSSEX. -4.-- BRIGHTON, Mir 30. A violent storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied with heavy rains and hail, visited the western part of Sussex on Thursday, extending to Brighton, Lewes, and neighbourhood. Littlehampton, Worthing, and Shoreham appear to have felt its effects the most severely. In the vicinity of the former place, a bullock was killed by the lightning, and the electric fluid also struck the wires of the telegraph between the Ford and Littlehampton sta tions, doing considerable damage, and passed into the latter station, completely destroyed the telegraphic in strumfmt. Fortunately no person was touching it at the time, or the consequences might have been serious. The rain fell in torrents ; and at Worthing the town was almost deluged, but we bAieve no particular damage re sulted, though tha thunder and lightning was terrific. At Shoreham tho storm raged most furiously, and was nearly being attended with a fatal result. Five or six of Mr. Bailey's workmen were engaged on the mast of a which was in the course of erection in the yard, when they were all struck by the lightning, and were all more or lees injured, one most seriously. At Brighton and Lewes the storm was sensibly felt, al though not to so great an extent. The rain, however, foil in such torrents between Lewes and Keymer, that a portion of the railway on that line was completely inun dated, and the trains had to pass through water for some distance. Another account says :—The storm came on a little before noon, and extended from near Hastings to P, mouth, and about 10 miles inland. The peals of thunder were tremendous, and the lightning exceedingly vivid ; while the rain poured down in continuous streams, over flowing the rivers, and covering the lowlands with water. At Chailey the parsonage - house , which is built on the low ground, near a stream of water , was completely surrouni:ed by the flood, which entered the house, and filled theromus on the ground floor to a h e i g h t of seve ral feet. the inmates being obliged to betake themselves to the upper rooms for shelter. At lleathfield a farm servant, named Piper, Nvas struck by lightning while sitting near a window eating his dinner, and was killed almost instantaneously. liis master was sitting in the room, and at the same moment experiencod a severe shock, but escaped from personal injury. The storm came on so suddenly, that it is feared the dantage done to the cattle will be very great, axd the growing crops are much injured in many places. ACCIDENTS IN THE PARKS. We can, on authority, contradict the rumour which prevailed in the metropolis yesterday morning to the effect that five fatal cases of accident bad occurred during the progress of the fireworks, as we are in a posi tion to state that, as yet, only one of that unfortunate character has come to the knowledge of the police au thorities, the deceased, George Smart, while standing in the Green Park, having sustained a severe lacerated scalp wound, occasioned by the falling of a rocket-stick, from the effects of which he shortly died. Several cases of serious, and in some cases, irrepar. able injuries have been taken to St. George's Hospital, Patrick Burke, smashed toe. John Cussell, total blindness, by the falling of a rocket• stick. _ Geo. Wilding, blindness of the right eye, which it is feared will seriously affect the left. Thos. Morris, severe fracture of the head, from the falling of a rocket-stick. Sarah Fenn, blindness of the right eye, and the left slightly injured. Augustus Long, run over by a private carriage in Pic. cadilly, from which he has sustained serious injuries. The whole of the above cases are under the immedi- ate medical care of Dr. Duncan and Mr. Tatham. Some serious cases of injury to the eye have also been taken to the Charing,-cross Hospital. To this hospital an unfortunate policeman, Alfred Butler, 35 E, was con veyed, having, while in the discharge of his duties, been ---,- run over by a cab, and from which he has sustained & severe fracture ol_the thigh. • • va,6 2 ' ' ^a"' ' , , —^l,. , :". 4s ,1,_,,,,, ,, ,•' - ..... i • , - , , , ,N1 . ^ . .411 \ ~, j~r
