" The little racecourse at Hampton" has been materially H. M. S. Quiver Folly Octoroon Dion'!" altered in its externals since the day when Sir Mulberry Hawk and Lord Frederick Verisopht strolled about the can vas hells, and quarrelled and fought within sight and sound of the noble river, and Charles Dickens gave us that admir able description of a racecourse, one of the most graphic of the many graphic ones that have come from his pen. We do not know that it has altered for the better. The diligent searcher would probably find as much genteel ruffianism in existence now as 20 years since; noble lords and honour able gentlemen still congregate th ere, m i xe d u p w ith a ll the objectionable features that pe cu li ar l y di s ti ngu i s h a me tropolitan gathering. This year the weather was far from propitious. A hailstorm, such as is not often seen in January much less in June, accompanied with thunder • and light ning, heralded in the proceedings. The attendance was but moderate, and hardly up to the usual Hampton mark, and the fields were small and not remarkable for quality. Mr Hodgman's colours were first past the chair in the Two-Year-Old Hampton and Claremont Stakes, the style in which his colt Victorious won the latter, even from the him as something s uperior. m oderate lot he encountered, stamping Mr Tatham then presented the prizes with very becoming compliments upon the nautical skill displayed by all engaged• Now ready, in 1 vol.

This work comprises numero ,, s interestingvecdotes and recollections in reference to almost all the principal musical artists and composers of our t?me, includ ng Pasta, Chalani, Malibran, Grisi, Sontag', Jenny Lind, Alboni, Cruvelli, Per sian', Tietjens, Bramblila, Caste Han, Catherine Hayes, Wagner, Piccolomini, and Rachel ; Taglioni, Fanny Ellsler, Cerito, Dumilatre, Lucile Grahn, Rosati, &c ; Mario, Fra schini, Gardoni, Moriani, Calzolari, Ginglini, Sims Reeves ; Lablache, T mburini, Etonconi, Fornasari, Col etti, Belletti, and Staudigl ; Rossini, Mendelssohn, Meyerbeer, Donizetti, Verdi, Halevy, Benedict, Balfe, &c. RYDE. We are gratified in being able to announce that the regattas of the Thames will be concluded on Saturday ncxt by a splendid match to the Isle of Wight. The following are the conditions of a match emanating from the yachts men of the Union Yacht Club-Louse, Gravesend, and which promises to produce an entry of at least 20 starters, viz.:— Sweepstakes of five sous each for schooners, yawls, and cutters; a time race; double Ackers' scale; to start at 10 a.m. on Saturday next, June 18, off the Union Yacht Club-house, Gravesend, according to directions hereafter to be stated. Entries to close at midnight with the secretary, Royal Thames Yacht Club, Albemarle-street, on Friday, 17th June, or with Mr Bedford, at the Union Yacht Club house, Gravesend, Several vessels have already been en tered, including the schooners Galatea, Madcap, and the cutters Marina, Amazon, &c. Doubtless many more will join this day and to-morrow. We understand the manage ment of the match will be left to the noble vice-commodore, Lord De Ros. It was at first proposed to make this race on Monday; but as owners are anxious to get to the westward, Waterloo day has been preferred as well worthy of this spirited movement. The Great Newton Handicap of i 5 soya each, 10 ft, with 150 added, for all ages; winners extra; the second to receive 20 soya out of the stakes.

The Attorney and Solicitor General, to whom the pro posed by-laws have since been submitted by the Rome Secre tary for their opinion, express their regret that they cannot agree with the opinion given by the Recorder and Common- Sergeant. They go on 0 say, "Of the by-laws in question the Ist, 4th, 51h, 16th, and part of the 15th, down to the proviso, are clearly conformable to the act, and may b e enforced by the penalties therein provided ; but the rest of the by-laws, however proper and expedient such regulations may be in themselves, seem to us to be beyond the scope of the authority given by the Act, and therefore not liable to be enforced by its penalties." In support of this view the law officers of the Crown proceed to give reasons. The opinion of the Recorder and Common-Sergeant has since been fortified by those of Mr Brand, the Controller of the Corporation—Mr Corrie, the Remerubrancer—and Mr NelsSn, the City Solicitor. There MO - Matter rests for the present, the Court of Aldermen contenting themselves with giving effect to the three by-laws out of the 17 cited above. - - 7 1 1 R E GENERAL FINANCIAL and ESTATE c AGENCY CORPORATION (Limited).

COMPOSITION OF RAIN -WATER.—in a p a p er ad d treats res s of to the Ac a d emy of Sc i ences, M. Bobierre citi.- th e e temical composition of rain-water collected in 4 at different altitudes. Finding it impossible to apply tf.', 'agronomy the:numbers expressing the relative abundance of nitric acid ; ammonia; 'organic inatter; tic.; in the rain' , water eishedi34 hi htige cities, he resolved to place aiiiieters at very distinct stations, and analyse their pro duce,The74'n:is 026 tined and, *Mined by him were 'collected platform of the Observatory at Nantes, at an altitude of 60 metres, and then in a low part of the town, only about seven metres above loWr water mark. During the year 1803, he evaporated 372 litres of water in an oil bath, under the action of carbonate Of pOtao; l and t h us detertninel every month the nitrogen of the Lea organic matter, as Well aS that of Me nitric acid and chlorine detected in the water; after which, by fractional distillation; he determined the aturaoniaeal nitrogen, the substances existing iii the Water in a state of suspension being separated by filtration and examined through the mitroscope. The! loon elusions at which ho arriiops through his experi ments are these t-1. The Composition of the rain-water collected in large towns is extremely Variable: 2. The variations observed, and resulting from the titirificatiat of the atmosphere by washing, are particularly remarkable on account of the quantity of ammonia, nitric acid, and organic substances they contain. 3, The greater the agglomeration of animal life, the greater the quantity of ammonia and organic matter in rain water. 4. At an altitude of 47 metres, in the rain water collected at Nantes, the average dose of ammonia was about two grammes per cubic metre ; at an altitude of seven metres it was about six grammes. 3. As the ammonia diminishes so the nitric acid increases; it was seven grammes at an altitude of 47 metres, and only five grammes at seven metres. 6. At Nantes the cubio metre of rain water contained 14 gms. of chlorides expressed in sea salt. 7. In order correctly to ascertain the quantity of fertilising matter brought by rain -water, experiments should be in stituted in the open country. 8. In a sanitary point of view, the analysis of rain-water reveals the vitiated state of the atmosphere under circumstances in which the direct analysis of the atmosphere would be insufficient.

The third race of the season amongst yachts of this dis tinguished club came off yesterday, but owing to the very unpromising state of the weather in the morning the attend ance of visitors on board the club steamer, the Eagle, was very thin. Throughout the day the wind was squally and variable, accompanied by heavy showers of rain and a thunder storm in the afternoon, after which there was ever and anon a calm. The race was with yachts of the fourth class, for prizes in plate, value 430 for the first boat, and £lO for the second, and the following contended : Yachts. Tons. 0 wners. Dione , Mr Talfourd Field. Quiver .. 12 Capt. D. T. Camberlayne. Octoroon .. 12 .. )4r Cecil Long. Folly There was a time allowance of half a minute per ton, and the course was from Gravesend to the Nore Light and back. Mr Charles Tatham, a very old and experienced yachts man, was the °Seer of the day, in the absence of the noble CommO4ore, Lord Alfred Paget, and the 'Vice, Lord De Ros, but the la:ter superintended the arrangement of the cutters at their statioo. The wind was west and by south, and plenty of it, as will be tien by the time in which the yaehte' ran down to the Nore. The race was started at 11h. 48m. Theis Waft no' advantage in position, and the cutters all canted at the strait) moment, the Octoroon, however, waiting till her mainsail jibed' over before she fairly set it. The Dione first showed her jib-headed topsail, and the others immediately followed her example, but with square ones. The Folly took the lead, followed by the Quiver, which just below Tilbury ran into the first place, the Folly close behind her with her sheet right off; but in the lower part of Gravesend Reach the Folly again drew past the QuiVer , They went down right before the wind, shifting topsails and carrying as much canvas as they could well stand under, the wind freshening as the squalls came en. The Octoroon soon filled the second place, and then these became a gap of a cable's length between the first ll and sec ond boats; but there being a lull at Leigh, they were a together again with scarcely half a dozen yards between them c when the Folly by judicious sailing again drew otnad and they rounded the Moro Light as follows st. s. Folly ....................... 2 2 20 Quiver ...................... 2 3 5 Octoroon ................. 2 335 Dione ........................ 2 4 0 They jibed round the lightship to the northward. The Dione did not round well, losing time by going to leeward, still carrying her jibheaded topsail, while the rest struck theirs. As the ebb tide was still running, and the yachts had to beat dead to windward all the way up, they courted the slack. In the first board the Quiver went out right to windward of the Folly, who shortly after was observed with a reef down, the wind at the time being very heavy and squally, and the Octoroon shortly after reached through her lee. With the squall the wind came out from the north-west, and they were all broken off. Just below Southand the Quiver was leading by a quarter of a mile. the Octoroon being second, and Folly third. Then came a thunderstorm, a calm, and some catspaws. The Folly, having kept well close to the south shore, got a nice breeze of wind, and passing the Oc toroon, went very near to the Quiver, and so close were they all through that the slightest mischance would have changed JOSEPH WORMALD AND GEORGE ILES (HICKS'S BIG ONE), FOR £so.—The catch-weight match between these members of the P.R. took place yesterday on the Home Circuit, and was brought to a satisfactory issue. Wormald is known to the patrons of the art from his match with Jem Mace's Black; and from the manner in which he ac quitted himself upon that occasion he was looked upon as a promising candidate for fistic honours. He is 23 years of age, stands sft 11/in, and weighed when he last scaled 12/st. He is a fine-made, powerful young fellow, but for the pre sent encounter was in no sort of condition ; indeed, on Fri day last he was considered so decidedly unfit to stand the wear and tear of a contest, that his friends entertained seri. one doubts whether they ought not to forfeit the money without letting the affair come to trial, Iles, who has gained the sobriquet of " Hick's Big One," has never fought before within the ropes ; but this new importation from the provinces was considered well qualified to gain " milling " distinction. He is a native of Bristol, stands Gft 11in, and weighed, as he stated, 131 stone; so that, to make use of the words so often used by the late much-respected Tom Spring, " If good enough, he was big enough for anything." The betting was even, and when the com batants had been got in readiness by their seconds they were conducted to the scratch, and at 20 minutes past five o'clock, were left to begin the contest, On getting toge ther the men displayed caution, and owing to the reluctance manifested on both sides to make the first " plunge," the opening bout occupied 20 minutes. Wornsald, in the second round, obtained the that of the leading events by a neat left-hander ; and it soon became apparent that he was much more expert in the use of his digits than hie antago nist, who displayed little or no knowledge of the art, and when he made some of his left-handed lunging hits did so in a very inartistic fashion. Iles ought from the commence ment to have forced the fighting, but this he did not do, much to the dissatisfaction of his seconds, until the battle was far advanced. Two rounds were fought in 35 minutes, three in 45 minutes, six in 56 minutes, and nine rounds were gone through in one hour and ene minute, a proof that the milling thus far had been slow work ; indeed, from the reluctance which the combatants showed to get to range) many were of opinion that the battle would terminate in a " draw." From the 17th round, however, the men having " roused up," the milling became of a lively description ; and in the 24th and last bout, Wormald, with a straight left-hander, followed up with one from the right, gave his opponent his quietus, and was hailed the winner. the con test having lasted two hours and eight minutes. The New City Traffic Regulation Act. A statement has just been put forth, under the authority of a committee of the Court of Aldermen, as to the pro ceedings taken on the part of the Corporation for carrying out the provisions of the City of London Traffic Regulation Act of last year. This document embodies a correspondence which has, rnaooa D et weal otr 17t. 1:13.vy, the licnuo Cimac tary, and the Corporation on the subject, and from which it appears that Sir George, with the Attorney and Solicitor- General on the one hand, and the Court of Aldermen with the law officers of the Corporation on the other, are directly at variance in many respects as to the powers conferred by the new act upon the Court of Aldermen to regulate the traffic. For the present the result of this difference seems to be, in the opinion of the Recorder of London, the Com mon Sergeant, and the rest of the law officers, " to render nugatory what has been considered one of the most impor tant provisions of the act," and the Court of Aldermen, they add, have no course open to them but to confine the by-laws which they had submitted for the sanction of the Home Secretary to those approved by the law officers of the Crown. These are only three in number of 17. The first prescribes the route to be followed by passenger carriages going from St Paul's-churchyard to the further side of Lon don-bridge and returning—viz., by Cannon-street; the second provides that no vehicle shall be driven through the streets between 9 in the morning and 6 in the evening laden to a greater height than 10ft, measuring from the ground, or to a greater width than 7ft; and the third prohibits driving of carts and waggons with logs of wocd, metal, scaffolding poles, masts, and the like, exceeding 25ft in length or Bft 6in in:breadth, within the same hours. By the by-laws, which have been rejected by Sir G. Grey, the conducting of any kind of locomotive propelled by steam between 6 in the morning and 10 at night, except a steam fire-engine actually going to or returning from a fire, was to be strictly prohibited. No coals, beer, wine, or other liquid in casks, conveyed in carts, waggons, or vans were to be allowed to be delivered in 24 of the principal streets of the city, which were named, between 9 in the morning and 5 in the even ing. The sale of vegetables, fruit, fish, or other articles car ried upon any truck or vehicle was prohibited betwen 9 in the morning and 6 in the evening in the same streets, and on London and Elackfriars bridges. Every waggon and van was to be placed with its aide parallel with the foot pavement when being loaded or unloaded, or stopped for any other purpose. Upwards of 70 principal places were in dicated at which in the whole 88 shoeblacks might ply their calling, and the Commissioner of the city police was em powered, for the public convenience, to alter or increase the standings or the number of shoeblacks so that the number of standing Ones did not exeeed 150, and the number of shoeblacks, 300 in the whole. These were the principal re gulations ; but there were others prohibiting the obstruc tion of streets and footways by persons with various enu merated articles for sale, or by goods or merchandise during removal, so as to hinder or incommode a free passage. A power is conferred by the act which the Alderman have not, as yet, exercised, namely, to regulate the mode of distin guishing hackney cabs when empty and when actually ply ing for hire. Of all their functions this is the most clearly defined, and it was intended to meet one of the most patent and vexatious obstructions of thteheleglietiimteriatneatraitfinc in all th e g on laf t a h re e7o n ok am -o e u i t Y ior customers, instea t d he o m f re of e c m hi p ef t; h o o sz u pairing to the nearest cabstand. The code of by-laws which we have epitomised was pre pared by the Committee of Aldermen, in conjunction w ith the Commissioner of Police, the City Solicitor, and the clerks to the magistrates at the Mansion-house and Guildhall j ustice-rooms. It was afterwards approved by the Court of Aldermen, and, havi ng been published in ac cordance with the statute, was f orwarded to Si r G e o. Grey for his sanction on 4th December last, together with certain suggestions for its modification, so as to meet the wishes and requirements of the wine and spirit trade and the build ing trade, in respect to parts of the regulations which were likel7 to press seriously upon them. The Home Secretary replied, on 22d December, that no power appeared to be given by the art to him to alter the by-laws made under its authority, and that his province was only to approve them. He enclosed two complaints which had been addressed to him on the part of persons whose trading operations it was alleged would be prejudicially affected by the proposed re gulations. Ono was a letter from Mr Alderman Salomons, calling his attention to the entire prohibition of the sale of fruit from barrows and trucks in the City between the hours of 9 in the morning and 6 in the evening. This, wrote the alderman, "is closing the city as a thoroughfare to an ind dustrious, and, indeed, a useful class, who retail cheapiiasn„ wholesome luxury to the working classes of the mret io o o po g to I he other was from a brewery firm at Ratclit t f :, objecting the a clause apparently, to them , s o swee in and 5 delivery of a cask of beer for privatpehoutg a o s s w ea eo t Eji p a y .m ho . use in cer tain streets, referred to by na me never r r d in a t t e e n o d f ed J a to n. a r p delivery of beer by retail, and p.m. The reply on the part of the committee o o f m al t d o or n men, g with p u s . bo shed m o d the fi h Alderman Salomons.

Every preparation to do honour to the auspicious event was made. The quadrangle was tastefully hung with a varied series of Admiralty signals, interspersed with union jacks and standards ; on either side were ranged tempo rary seats for the accommodation of visitors admitted by tickets, while on the west side of the square a raised dais, decorated with bunting and covered with a delicately white awning, over which floated the Prince of Wales' standard, was erected for the reception of the Prince and Princess. Soon after three o'clock a body of the A Division, under the direction of Superintendent Durkin, assisted by Inspector Denning, were stationed at the entrance gates and in the enclosure. Half-past five was the appointed time for the arrival of his royal highness, but long before that hour every seat was occupied, the fair sex being the most numerous. At four o'clock the various com panies assembled in the quadrangle, to the number of 400 rank and file. The men having been put through a preliminary drill by Major Mill, assisted by Captain and Adju tant Lombard, Lieutenant. Colonel Viscount Bury, 'M.P., took command, and rehearsed the men in the movements through which they subsequently passed before his royal highness, leaving them formed in wings in readiness to give the royal salute, &c. During the interval that elapsed between this and the arrival of the Prince and Princess, Viscountess Bury, accompanied by the Countess of Albemarle, LAdy Suffield, Mrs. Loyd Lindsay, Lady William Compton, Miss Compton, and Lady Augusta Keppel, took their seats on the dais behind the chairs of state. There were also present, amongst other dis tinguished personages, the Eirl of Albt:marle, Lord Suffield, Lieutenant-Colonel Loyd Lindsay, &c, A little before 6 Celock dthaet che.?rs aneouneed the .approach of the Pricce Ent!.

Upon alighting their royal highnesscs were received with e. royal salute, the men presenting arms and the band striking up the first bars of the National Anthem. The Princess wes received by Duly Bury and ushered to her seat, while the Prince, noon ascending the dais, graciously acknowledged the general greeting accorded him by all present. The Prince, who wore the undress uniform of a general officer, was attended by Gen. Knollys end Col. Keppel. The Princess was attired in mourning, and attended by Lady Carmarthen. The Prince, accompanied by Lord Bury and followed by Gen. Knollys and Col. Kep. pel, walked down the lines and inspected the men ; he then returned and took up his position on the dais, and the manoeuvres, directed by Lord Bury, were commenced. At their conclusion, the Prince stepped into the centre and said, " Gentlemen, I need hardly tell you the great pleasure I feel at being present at this inspection, and the satisfac tion I have experienced in witnessing your manoeuvres. Under the able tuition of Col. Lord Bury, you have had great opportunities of &corn. ing efficient in your drill. It occurs to me from the great steadiness you have acquired, that you must have paid great attention to drill. I had th i s s quare formed so that I might present you with my chal lenge cup, and I have great pleasu r e in doing WI The Prince then handed the challenge cup to Lord Bury, and scup to the winner, Mr. Burroughs, of the Whitehall Company. Three cheers were then given for the Prince, three for Denmark, and the Prince and Princess drove away amidst the cheers of all present. THREATENED OUTBREAK AT DARTMOOR PRISON. —On Monday morning last, when th e b o dy o f convicts at Dartmoor were marched out of their prison to their labour on the Moor, it became apparent that a mutinous combina tion had been formed amongst them, and that a serious outbreak had been planned. On being told to break off for work, not a man moved to fall out of the ranks, and the order was answered with a defiant murmur and a dogged refusal to perform any work at all. A ringleader met every persuasion or order of the warders with the most dreadful imprecations and threats. But every available precaution had been taken. The armed civil guard, which had been augmented and posted within hail, was called in, and the ringleaders and most prominent malcontents were at once marched back to prison, where they were locked in separate cells to await the punishment which will be awarded by Captain Gambier, the visiting director. The cause of the mutiny was the application of the new reduced scale of diet. For some months past the governors of con vict prisons have had orders to adopt the reduced scale of diet, which was approved by the commission of doctors under the authority of the Secretary of State- up to Sunday last these orders had not been ado p ted in Dar tmoor prison, and the old scale provided by the late Sir J os h ua Jebb was adhered to. On that morning, however, it was announced to the convicts that the change was to be made. The dissatisfaction soon b ecame apparent, and some we ll gay ., t h e prison officials early info rma ti on w as contemplated , Prompt measureB were therefore taken to p revent it. d t s a p t o a s e s d e r c i o o n u v s P erso ns in debt m a y obtain inst ant protection against i m ct u s tiny imprisonment or seizure of their goods, and an entire release from all debts and liaLilities without publicity, by applicatiom to Messrs.
