IGENCE. SPORTL EPSOM RACES.-YESTERDAY. THE DERBY DAY. A. beautiful morning ushered in the great day of the Epsom Meeting—the gloom and rain that in the early part of the week had damped the ardour of many " city and suburban" sportsmen had given place to most de lightful weather—and with the rise in the mercury of the barometer rose the spirits of thousands of Lon doners who look forward to the Derby as a festival to be observed and honoured by the whole sporting world. Extensive arrangements have been made by the Brighton Railway Company for the accommodation of the public by running special and express trains between the London-bridge Station and Epsom at short inter vals,, so as to entirely obviate the confusion and danger that under a less perfect system of transit would be in evitable on such an occasion. From an early hour the trains brought in detach ments of visitors from the metropolis, Brighton, Ports mouth, and the towns and villages on the south coast. Great numbers, too, arrived by vehicles of variou s grades, from th e s t y li s h b arouc h e t o th e cos t ermonger s bumble cart carrying six inside and two on the shafts. Bat the road has lost its popularity, and iron and steam now do the work that was formerly performed by horse flesh and whipcord. The contributions to the living tide that flowed upon the Downs through the various roads from the town were rather scanty until the monster trains began to ar rive, after twelve o'clock. Then came a continuous flood until the bell had rung for saddling for the all-im portant race, when the attendance was at its greatest ; but at no time during the day did it quite reach the average of recent years. The inclosure in front of the Grand Stand was thronged, as usual, with noble and distinguished patrons of the turf, a n d a vas t b o dy o f professionals. The stewards' and the private stands, as well as the Grand Stand and res erve d pl aces , were c rowded with fash ionable company, amongst whom were a number of ladies, whose gay summer costumes gave remarkable brilliancy to the ensemble. Viewed from the hill opposite, the Grand Stand had a peculiarly fine effect—the elevated roof piled up with human forms, the gay balconies, and the dark mass of spectators in the inclosure beneath, formed an object on the broad Downs at once strikingly picturesque and highly interesting. The decision of the great event in favour of Andover sadly disappointed the friends of Lord Derby, who had reckoned on the victory of their favourite, Dervish, as a certainty. Andover's achievement realises a large stake for his party, who never once relaxed their confi dence, nor caused the shadow of a doubt to be cast on their intentions. Alfred Day rode with admirable patience and judgment, and right worthily is he en rolled amongst the winning jockeys of the Derby. Danebury once more r e j o i ces i n the " blue riband of the turf. ' King Tom, notwithstanding his accident, justified the high opinion which was entertained of him. Baron Rothschild acted in the most honourable way possible, and the consciousness of having meant well will no doubt he a source of much satisfaction, although he could only acquire "second honours." Great credit is also due to Mr. Cooper, for affording the public an op portunity of forming their own opinion of Autocrat ; never was there clearer evidence of an animal being hors de combat. The remaining races being comparatively of little in terest, the company generally devoted their attention to the discussion of the contents of choicely stored hampers or of the good things set before them by Messrs. Jaquet and Woodruffe, in the refreshment rooms of the Grand Stand. Notwithstanding the immense concourse of people on the Downs, the course was admirably kept by detachments of the metropolitan and local horse and foot police. The utmost praise is also due to Mr. Dor ling, the clerk of the course, and bottle Newmarket staff of officials, for the excellent arrangements, by which the proceedings were conducted with perfect regularity. The sport came off as follows : The CAREW STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 50 added ; two yr-olds, Est 31b ; three, Bst 61b ; four, 9st 71b ; five and upwards, 9st 121 b ; mares allowed 51b, and geld ings 31b.

The Trapper was scratched at 9.30. THE RACE. After the usual preparatory canter they returned to the Paddock, and were soon afterwards called to the post by the starter. The coup d'ail at this moment was extremely picturesque ; the thousands of persons surging up against the rails ; the vast masses on the hillside ; the multitude crowding the inclosures and the Grand Stand bad their eyes immediately rivetted, as it were, on one spot -the starting place. Slowly, and in a compact form, the horses p rocee d e d towards it from the paddock, the colours of the riders having a gorgeous effect in the broad sunshine. At the very first signal a beautiful start was effected. Hospodar immediately went to the front, with Marc Antony, Canute, and Wild Hunts man heading the ruck, about the middle of which were Mr. Gully's two, Dervish, King Tom, Marsyas, New War rior, and the Early Bird. On nearing the turn, Wild Huntsman ran up to Hospodar, and Dervish lay about sixth, Marc Antony and Canute then dropping off. At the road both Hospodar and Wild Hunts man were beaten, and a new combination of form and colour in front added excitement to excitement. Hermit now took the lead, followed in close order by Andover, King Tom, Dervish, Knight of St. George, Marsyas, Early Bird, and New Warrior. Andover waited to the half distance, when he went ahead, followed by King Tom, who made a very reso lute effort, but was beaten easily by a length ; half a length between the second and third, and a neck between third and fourth. Dervish, Marsyas, New Warrior, and Wild Huntsman were the next four. Autocrat was last off by several lengths. He went to the post merely for the purpose of saving bets about his starting. The winner ran in Mr. Gully's name, and was ridden in his colours, but he is the joint property of Mr. Pad wick and Mr. Gully —the former better known on the turf by his non de course " Mr. Howard," was his nominator on this occasion.

(From the Report of the Registrar-General. ) The weekly tables give 1,143 deaths as the result of registration in the week that ended last Saturday. This number exhibits but a small decrease on the mortality of the preceding week, which was shown to be higher than usual. In the ten weeks corresponding to last week of the years 1844-53 the average number was 924, which, if raised in proportion to increase of population, becomes 1,016. The present return is therefore in ex cess of the estimated amount by 127. Fatal cases arising from zymotic diseases numbered last week 282, whilst the corrected average is 222. They are distributed under particular heads as follow : small-pox ten ; measles, 27 ; scarlatina, 62 (the average being 36) ; hooping-cough, 67 (the average being 47) ; croup 7 ; thrush, 2 ; diarrhoea, 31 ; dysentery, 3 ; in fluenza, 2 ; purpura, 1 ; ague, 1 ; infantile fever, 1 ; typhus, 43 (the average being 43) ; puerperal fever, 3 ; rheumatic fever, 2 ; erysipelas, 11 ; and syphilis, 9. Deaths caused by diseases of the organs of re-piration amount to 177 ; in ten corresponding weeks the average was 140. Five persons were the victims of intemperance. Last week the births of 860 boys and 787 girls, in all 1,647 children, were registered in London. In the nine corresponding weeks of the years 1845-53 the ave rage number was 1,372. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29,555 in. The highest reading was 29.91 in. at the beginning of the week. The mean temperature of the week was 5L5 deg., which is 3.3 deg. below the average of the same week in 38 years. The mean daily temperature was below the average on every day except Sunday ; and on Saturday the depression amounted to 6.5 deg. The highest temperature was 66 deg., on Sunday and Friday ; the lowest was 40.7 deg. on Thursday. The mean dew-point temperature was 46.9 deg. ; and the difference between this and mean temperature of the air was 4.6 deg. The wind blew throughout the week from the south-west.

The working expenses for the past half year, including the entire charges of the London and local offices, average not quite 1401. per week. The Kilkenny and Great Southern and Western Bill has been withdrawn, in consequence of the very decided opinion recently expressed by a portion of the shareholders of this company against its further progress through Parliament. The present liabilities of the company amount to 14,5141., and the unappropriated debentures of the company to 12,0001., which the directors have not been able to issue. It has been arranged between the board and the committee of investigation that the retir ing directors, Messrs. Smithwick, Hadow, and Lever, should not offer themselves for re-election ; and that Messrs. Dowling, Nothain, and Whetham, members of the committee of investigation, should become candi dates for the vacancies thus occasioned. The capital ac count to the 25th of March showed that 510,8521. had been received, and 510,1821. expended, leaving a balance of 6701. The revenue account for the half-year ending the 25th of March showed that 4,7711. had been re ceived, and 3,5181. expended, leaving 1,2531. to meet the interest on loans and debentures amounting to 2,6141., showing a deficiency of 1,3611. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, explained that interviews had taken place between members of the committee and the directors respecting the re-constitution of the board, and that it was agreed that the retiring directors should not offer themselves for reelection, and that three members of the committee should be elected to fill the vacancies. The board were then to decide upon the resignation of three other directors, and upon the election of three shareholders in their room. Tne present board were anxious that the new directors should be men to whom they could confidently resign the trust reposed in them by the shareholders. Since they came into office they had had great diffi •ul ties to contend with, which were now nearly overcome ; the line would soon be open throughout to Waterford, after which the facilities for increasing the traffic would come into operation. 17,747 31,739 3,433 4,278 22,485 . .

Resolutions were passed adopting the report, expres sing an opinion that it would be desirable that three members of the board should be resident in Ireland, in order to constitute a traffic committee, electing Messrs.

KILKENNY AND GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN. The half -yearly meeting of this company was held at the offices, Gracechurch-street, on Monday—Mr. Laver in the chair. The report stated that the sole reason for withdraw ing the bill in the present session was the change of opinion on the part of the shareholders in the Waterford and Kilkenny Company. The directors very much re gret the decision that has been arrived at, as their views on the value of the scheme remain unaltered. In order to clear off the liabilities of the company a call of 10s. per share has been made, which, when paid, will suffice to discharge all the outstanding claims. The total re ce:Apts amounted to 26,139/., and the expenses to 26,0121. - -leaving a balance of 1261. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, and re electing the retiring directors and auditors.

The annual general meeting of the shareholders of this company took place on May 24, in the Salle Sainte C6cile, Rue de la Chauss4e d'Antin, Baron James de Rothschild, the piesident, in the chair. The meeting having been declared duly constituted, M. Baude read a report from the committee appointed to examine the accounts of 1853. The committee declares that it found everything in a state of perfect regularity, and the report congratulates the. company on the satisfactory manner in which the accounts were kept in every department of so vast an enterprise. M. Delbecque then rose, and read the report of the Board of Directors for the year 1853. This document, after alluding to the steps taken by the companies interested in the execution of the con necting railway round Paris, proceeds to speak of the works now in course of execution on the Northern line. The substitution of heavier rails (of 37 kilogrammes per metre) for these now existing had not gone on as rapidly as the Board had hoped fur, in consequence of the non , observance of the promises made by the iron-masters. In place of 12,000 tons, which the company ought to have re ceived in April last, only 5,400 tons had been delivered. The laying the new rails should be proceeded with as rapidly as the deliveries permitted. The continued increase of the traffic had necessitated an enlargement of the yards and stations on almost every part of the line.; and it had been found necessary to purchase a large piece of ground to add to the accommodation of the Paris terminus. The various new branch lines were being steadily proceeded with, and those from St. Quen tin to Erquelin es, from Tergnier to Rheims, from Busigny to Somain by Cambray, and the new line from Paris to Creil, had advanced in the year as much as could have been hoped for. Nothing had as yet been decided relative to the line from Noyelles to St..Valery. The report then :refers to the rolling stock on the line, and states that iri consequence of the rapidly-increasing traffic on the main line, and in order to be prepared for the working of the branches, a considerable addition had been made to the stock within the last year, viz., 15 locomotives, 47 passenger carriages, 512 goods wag gons, 402 coal waggons, and 303 coke waggons. The sum exp ended for new stock in 1853 was 6,221,947 fr., wad the whole amount laid out on that head up to 31st of December of that year, 45,163,164 fr. The sums still to be paid for commands given would raise that amount to 58,300,000 fr. Re ferring to the working of the line, the report shows by figures that during the past year the receipts have in creased in almost every item. Those of the slow trains show an augmentation of 34 per cent. over 1852, and of 75 per cent. over 1851. The principal increase had been in coals and coke, which, from 816,284 f. in 1851, had risen to 1,473,4.17 f. in 1852, and to 2 ,684,941 f. in 1853. The passenger i:eceipts had increased 1 ,090,000 f,, or 7 per cent. On 'the total amount of receipts, the improve ment was about 5,000,000 f., or nearly 17 per cent On the other hand, the expenses, notwithstanding this increase in the receipts, were less in proportion than in 1852. In consequence of the facilities afforded by the railway round Paris, arrangements had been made with the other rail way compa n i es f or carrying coals and coke to many manufacturing places beyond Paris ; and central offices for the reception of goods had been established in all the principal towns on the line. The total of the receipts for the year 1853, deduction made of indemnities, cost of correspondences, tax of one-tenth on passengers re ceipts, and other charges had amounted t 0.. . and the expens(ss to 11,724,129 22 leaving a surplus of 21,670,368 f. 27c. which amount, when the various sums set apart to make up the sinking-fund for the main line, for the Bou logne bonds, loan of 1852, interest on shares, &c. would give a divid en d o f 30fr. per share. As 16fr. had been distributed in January, as interest, the whole revenue of each share for 1853 was 46 fr., orill per cent. on the original capital. The receipts of 1854 would, in all probability, afford a still larger return, as the first 19 weeks gave an augmentation of 1,910,000 fr., and 17'2 per cent, over the coi responding period of 1853. This report was received with every mark of satisfac tion; and the meeting voted at once the various subjects set down on the order of the day for its consideration-- approving of the dividend of 30fr. to be paid at the offices of the company on and after the Ist of July ; giving au thorisation to the board to make all the necessary ar rangements relative to the railway round Paris, re-elect ing the outgoing directors, Barons James, A n th ony, and Lionel d e Rothschild, M. Jules Mallet, and Mr., Moss, and re -appointing the committee of accounts. The proceedings then terminated. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURN.

MANCHESTER, May 30.—There are varying accounts given of this day's market by different parties ; some stating that prices are generally somewhat steadier, others that they are still inclining downward. We con sider that the business effected to-day has been at the lowest prices of last week in most descriptions of yarns and goods, and that, in this way, operations of fair amount in the aggregate have taken place. The market is not worse than it was, but it is no bet ter. The most trifling difference in price sends away buyers, who continue to act with the greatest caution. India letters by way of Trieste are received, and they report favourably of the Calcutta market. This has led to some renewal of the inquiry for suit able yarns and the lighter sorts of shirtings arid j icco nets, the prices of which continue steady. Little atten tion is paid on our exchange to the report of an increase of sales at Liverpool yesterday. There was no life on the other side, according to the last accounts. HALIFAX, May 27.—We have again had a slack mar ket in our piece hall, and few goods of any description have changed hands. In yarns and wools the transac tions are far from extensive, without any noticeable variation on the quotations. ROCHDALE, May 29.—We have not had much change in the flannel market to-day. There is a better feeling amongst the buyers, and a greater disposition to pur chase, but prices are much the same as those of last week. The wool market remains quite as inactive as it has been for some weeks past, and prices have under gone little or no change. HUDDERSFIELD, May 30.—The market is still flat, but a slight improvement on last week has been ex perienced. The manufacturers are disposing of very few goods in the market ; and the quantity making to order is very limited compared with what is usual at this season, when orders for heavier goods are generally looked out by the export houses. There has been a slight improvement in the wool warehouses, but no sales of large amount effected. Manufacturers and merchants seem to be acting very cautiously. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

The report stated that the number of in-patients during the past year had been 434, of whom 293 had been discharged cured or relieved, 51 had died, and 90 at present remained in the hospital. The number of new out-patients received and treated during the same period had been 3,224, making in all 3,658. The total number relieved since the open ing of the new building in 1846 had been—in-patients, 2,879 ; out-patients, 24,665 ; total, 27,544. A contract for the completion of the new (Jenny Lind) wing has been entered into with Mr. Glenn, for 4,5371., since which the works have progressed satisfactorily, and are now on the completion. The amount required to meet the balanoe on. the above contract is estimated at not less than 3,g00t.

THE SHEFFIELD RAILWAY FRAIIDS.—The fraucle; com mitted by Mr. John Stable, solicitor, upon the Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company, are estimated at 8,0001. The monies he has embezzled are sums he has received to pay into the hands of the accountant-general, and to landowners, for land settle ments. Most of these payments were vouched at the time, and the irregularity has arisen as follows. The receipt given by the accountant-general for deposits is filed in the office, and a copy only of that receipt is given to the parties paying in the money. The copies handed in by Stable to the company were spurious copies, but of course there existed no means of detecting the fraud, ex cept by a special application to the office of the ac countant-general. The question arises whether some better means of securing depositors, who are otherwise at the mercy of their professional agents should not be adopted by the Court of Chancery.
