The numerical strength of the field for the Oaks was • insignificant, but the. opposition which set in against Mineepie' served sustain the curiosity with which the event was regarded; The attendance of general company was comparatively scenty, and the people who were present seemed die pressed and wearied by the excitement which they had experienced on the preceding night, while assisting at the " peace celebrations." Very few ladies were in the balcony of the Grand Stand, aryl the show of carriages on the hill was meagre and ineffective. The business of the meeting was conducted with the utmost regularity. It woulti be an injustice to-the railway officials not to acknowledge the completeness of their arrangements. On the Derby day, 14,600 people were conveyed to Epsom, and, with the exception of one un fortunate pccurrence, for which the authorities were in no way responsible, such facilities were afforded for con ducting the immense traffic, that very little confusion was oec isioned. The ceuriesy of the secretary, Mr. F. Slight, in afford ing the requisite accommodation was universally acknow ledged. Mr. Hawkin, the general manager, and Mr. Wallace ) the station master, also personally super intended the arrangements. The duties of the station in spector were onerous and irksome in the extreme, but they were discharged by Mr. Castles with extraordinalry promptitude and despatch.

COT TISH WIDOWS' FUND AND LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. F I STABLLSUED A.D. ISIS. The following examples of Bonus Additions made to the Policies of Members of this Society, at and prior to tho last eriodical Investigation and Division of Profits, may servo to 1 ilustrate the advantages of a ruaaLv MUTUAL SYSTEM of Life J cssurance, whore the Profits (being freed from the payment I,f Dividends to the Shareholders) are allocated among the J \mired alone, and upon equitable principles. These examples show the respective amounts of the Bonus kLREADV DECLARED and VESTED. Under the provision made at the last investigation for the payment of an INTERMEDIATE : BONUS, in the case of Policies becoming Claims by death during the current Septennial period, the whole amounts •espectively payable under the above Policies, in the event of I he risks now emerging, would be 'considerably more than t hose stated in the last column. Thus, supposing the life .ssured by the first policy to drop during the present year, he amount payable under the 10001. Policy would be, not 1 :0311. ls. Bd., but 21731. ss. 2d. In all cases where the member is not incapacitated in any vay from dealing with his Policy, he has the option of eon -ertinm the Reversionary Claim for whatever Bonus has been av ddett e to it, Into an equivalent present payment in cash, or 4 ,f applying the same towards extinction or reduction of the 1 attire Premiums. As showing the effect of such conversion , r application, the cases of the above Policies may be taken. •L• 'he amount of additions to the second Policy being 540415. 10d., the member might at the present time juntender the reversionary claim therefor, and receive in cash a sum of 3301. 19s. 11d. !. Or, he might surrender the reversionary claim for bonus to the extent of 4671 12s. lid., and be relieved from any further payment of the premiums exigible in terms of the policy, retaining a claim for the remainder of the addi. tions already made, namely, 1121. 9s. 9d., and for any farther bonus to be declared in future. 'Tin the case of the third Policy, to which there aro additions of 4071. 12s. 3d., the member, on surrendering these might either receive a sum of 2281.125. 9d. in cash, or he might have all future premiums exigible in terms of tho policy reduced from the original amount of 311.175. 6d. to 91. 2s. II Or again, he might, by renouncing right to 2041. ss. 6cl. of the bonus, have the premiums exigible in terms of the policy from this date to the close of the year 1859, four in number, altogether extinguished, reserving to himself a claim for the balance of 2031. 6s. 9d., and for any further addition by way of bonus to be afterwards declared.

Ist January, 1837, and is a magistrate for the county of Gloucester) has 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 oflicars and a seaman from a watery grave • ' procured him, terough 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 towered down ; a third time, in the river Thames, where, in July, 1835, being at the time a passenger on , . board the Red Rover steamer, he rescued two gentlemen, Messrs. John Snape and Gilbert Wilson, who had been epset in a wherry by getting under the bows of that vessel ; and, again, in June 1836, 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, 1818. Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Robert Wace, Esq., of Lechlade, in the county of Gloucester, and has issue four daughters. THUNDER STORM IN SUSSEX. BRIGHTON, MAY 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. Littleharnpton, Worthing, and Shoreham appear to have felt its effects the most severely. In the vicinity of the former pface, 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 strument. 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 believe no particular damage re• stilted, though the thunder and lightning was terrific. At Shoreham the 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 less injured, one most seriously. At Brighton and Lewes the storm was sensibly felt, al though not to FO great an extent. Tlae rain, however, fell in arch torrents between Lewes and Keymer, that a portion of the railway on that line was completely inun date!, and the trains had to pass through water for some distanek 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 flowinc, the rivers, and covering the lowlands with water. At Chailey the parsonage-house, which is built on the low ground, !liar a stream of water, was completely surroundo by the flood, which entered the house, and filled the rooms on the ground flier to a height of seve ral feet. the inmates being obliged to betake themselves to ibe upper rooms for shelter. At ileathfield a farm servant, named Piper, was struck by lightning while sitting near a window eating his dinner, and was killed almost instantaneously. His master was sitting in the room, and at the same moment experienced a severe shock, but escaped from personal injury. The storm came on so suddenly, that it is feared the damage done to the cattle will be very great, an! 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 had occurred during the p ro gress 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 thorisks, 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, irrepars able injuries have been taken to St. George's Hospital, viz..— Patrick Burke, smashed toe. John Cassell, 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 roeftet-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 a severe fracture of the thigh.

V- 104 d• .one Average of the two foregoing 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. 28. 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. 103. 6d., 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 Lfficers. The decision was deferred. A discussion ensued as to whether shop fronts should he 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 handsoine.and uniform line of river frontage. The plan would, if neces4ary, comprise railway communication upon the north and south sides of the river. On the north side he proposed t o ra i se , a roadway esplanade, partly upon piles nod partly upon pillars and arches, to he level of the present bridges, and communicating, with them and their approaches, and als r 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 Hungertorclonarket, would open into the S rand opposite to the electric clook, and would, therefore, be the nearest real from Chariee-cross to the City. The width of the road would be 60 feet from London•hrdge to Southwark-bridge, and 80 feet from thence to Hungerford, at an altitude of about 40 feet more or less from high-water mark, the river side bounded by a balustrade overlookine the quay and river beneath. He suggested the idea of forming under the esplanade in front of the Temple-gardens a ,inter garden, which would be about 700 feet lone by SO feet wide, and 35 feet high, effected by glazing the openings of the arches, and if adopted the privacy of the gardens would be rotained, and the Toni:Oars would still enjoy their river promenades, besides the covered winter garden. Between the Temple-eardene and Somerset house, and also adjoining Westminster-bridge, pieces of 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 be nea th, an d supported by tubular girders, so that the wharfage operations would be earned 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 seam site three distinct classes of buildigs ; and above the shops dwelling -houses 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 he madQany estimate as to the probable cost of his plan and the compensation that would be required by differen t wharfingere along the line. His only object was to g et the provisional sanction of this board to the scheme, and if he obt a i ne d th a t th en th e work would be carried out by a company. On the motion of Mr. COLLINS seconded by Mr. SAVAGE, the memorial was received. Mr. C;or,LiNsori then moved that the subject be re ferred to the Committee of Works and Imp rov ements. Major LYON took an objection to this, w hich would necessitate its reference t o engineers, and the Committee of Works was already overburdened with business. The motion was then negatived. A letter was read from the vestry clerk of St. James's, Clerkenwell, requesting to borrow 5,000/. for 10 years, repayable with interest at the r a t e o f 5001 . per annum , for the purpose of paving Pentonville.hill with granite. The application was granted, A letter was read from Messts. Harrison and Lewis, so li c it ors , 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 Fi nance C omm itt ee to con sider and report t o this Board in w h a t w ay 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. DIFFANGER seconded the motion, which was carried. The Board then adjourned until Wednesday next. The following also ran :—Peter Wilkins, West Lang ton, and The Prince.

With yegar'd to the second objeCtion stated by Mr. Cox, he {Sib Mt Peto): would only say that he was not in th© hit of undertaking more than he felt his ability.to ac• complish. • This DRPUTY•CHAIRMAN (Mr. John Parson) stated his belief that,* M. Pete could not accept the' office of director un'ess he were released from his existing en, ga t tements 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 added that Mr. Busby, in the event of his being elected, had offered to retire in favour of Sir M. Pato, when a fitting opportu nity occurred for his so doing. Mr. BIGGAR requested the solicitor of the company to give his opinion with regard to the eligibility of Sir M. Peto as a director. Mr. Bgncant, took it that a contract was in exist enos between the conpany.and Sir M. Peto, and, md - CI those circumstances, he considered he was not qualified to accept the office of director.

I 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 400,0001 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 whereat, in consequence of the increased traffic of the Midland Rail way, especially in miaerals 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 traffic 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 llitchen line. The CHAIRMAN said, the money raised would be ap plied to the various requirements of the company. With regard to the Leicester and flitchen line, they had plenty of money for that, and be 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 stated 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 unanimouAy, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the Caairman. LEEDS, BRADFORD, AND HALIFAX JUNCTION. The quarterly meeting of this company was held yes. erday at; Bradford, Mr. W. Walker, presided. Mr. CAWOOD, secretary, read the report of the direc. tors. The CHAIRMAN said, the principal object of the meet in-, was to declare the quarterly dividend. There was one thing with regard tt, the declaration of a dividend which they had doubtless observed—viz., that it was necessary, in order to the payment, that 6931. 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 too present moment the traffic was considerably more than usual, and he tristed that at the next quar terly meeting they would not have to apply to the re served fund at all. They were now approaching the time when the Gilderstone coal branch would b 3 opened, and he looked forward to that period with very great expectations that the public at large would be very materially benefittad, 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 Oth of June. It wa,l 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. 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 recherchj 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. 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 increase. 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 Didi6e in that from the "Huguenots," and Mario—most emphatically—in the serenade from the ANTICIPATED GRAND SCULLERS' CONTEST.
