bed], L, at -e` ---- \ LAW INTELLIGENCE. -(THIS DAY.). ROLLS COURT. JUDGMENT.--YATES V. FAIRLIE. The Mama of the ROLLS gave judgment this morn ing in this case. The bill was filed by a gentleman of the name of Yates, who claimed to have an interest in a re turned cargo of a ship called the Mercury, consigned by Macdonald and Co. of Liverpool, to Arnold and Farlie of the Mauritius. Macdonald, who was one of the persons who signed the bill of lading, was a partner with a person named Waring. Previous tothe transaction with the plaintiff, Macdonald and Waring carried on busines as merchants, and as such had opened a correspondence with Arnold and Fairlie; in the course of which they acquainted them of their intention, in a short time, to consign to them a ship called the Mercury, laden with goods fur their account, and requesting them to purchase goods for the supply of the returned cargo, telling them they should be supplied with money for the purchase of it out of the proceeds of the outward cargo. Upon the faith of this Arnold and Fairlie purchased a homeward cargo. In the meantime Macdonald and Waring wanted an advance of money from the plaintiff, which he was willing to accede to, upon one of the partners of Macdonald's house being made a Party to the bill of lading, and also upon instruc tions being given that 6,0001. should be paid out of the first proceeds of the outward cargo. Nothing however, was mentioned to the plaintiff of the previous correspondence which had taken place between Mac donald's house and the house of Arnold and Fairlie. In structions to this effect went with the - bill of lading to Arnold and Fairlie, who, previously to the arrival of them, had laid out their money in the purchase of a re turned cargo, under the understanding that they were to be reimbursed out of the first proceeds; they, therefore, declined to pay any attention to those instructions. Macdonald and Waring shortly afterwards became bankrupts, and the plaintiff, conceiving he was entitled under the commercial law to be paid this 6,000/., commenced proceedings against Arnold and Fairlie in the Mauritius, where, after considerable argument, it was determined that Messrs. Arnold and Fairlie bad a right to reimburse themselves for the money they had laid out ; but in that decision a reser vation . was made of the right of Yates to any surplus which might remain after Arnold and Fairlie had been satisfied. Yates being dissatisfied with that decision filed his bill in this Court for an account of the proceeds of the out ward cargo, for the purpose of being paid out of the surplus, if any. When the cause came on for hearing the Court was strongly of opinion tliat the general commercial law made it incumbent on the consignees, Arnold and Fairlie, to apply the proceeds of the cargo according to the instruc tions which accompanied the bill of lading, the Court, however, directed a referee to the Master, to in quire whether the consignee accepting and acting upon a consignment is not bound by the conditions expressed in the bill of lading accompanying such assignment. Three French lawyers were consulted, who were of opinion upon the general proposition that the consignee was bound by such conditions. The opinion of other French lawyers were taken upon the said question, all the correspondence that had taken place between the parties being laid before them ; on which they were of opinion that Arnold and Fairlie bad a right to reimburse themselves. The Master coincided in that opinion . , and reported accordingly. To that report exceptions were taken, which were argued yesterday, and the case stood for judgment this morning. NA Honour was clearly of opinion the decision of the Master was right, and ordered the report to be confirmed. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Mr. Justice BAYLEY took his seat in Court this• morn ing, at nine o'clock, for the purpose of swearing in the Westminster and Middlesex Grand Juries. There being only seventeen gentlemen present, the others who had been summoned were not in attendance, and for whom no satis factory excuse was offered, were fined 201. each. Mr. Justice BAYLEY expressed his regret at so thin an attendance; but as there was no case of any difficulty likely to come before them, and it being only necessary for twelve to agree to the finding of a bill, he did not think it advisable to postpone er:tering upon the business. The gentlemen► present were then sworn. BOROUGH OF YEOVIL. --- The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue to compel Jennings, Esq., late Port-reeve of the borough of Yeovil to deliver up to the gentleman who had been appointed his successor the mace and other insignia of that office, which he positively refused to do. Lord TENTERDEN—Take a rule to show cause.—Rule granted. NEVILLE V. DUNBAR. The plaintiff in this case is a General in the army and the defendant a gentleman of the Bar. It was an action of ejectment, but at the suggestion of the Cour t the matter in dispute was- referred to arbitration. The arbitrator made his award in favour of General Neville. On a former day Mr. Dunbar obtlined a rule to show cause why this award should not be set aside, and a new re ference had. .Mr. CAMPBELL this morning showed cause against the rule. lie felt confident the Court would never sanction any further litigation between those parties, when it was Informed the inquiry that had taken place occupied more than two years. Mr. Dunbar too had been most fully heard, as on opening his case he made a speech which oc cupied four successive days, and he had taken also five other days examining one single witness.—(Laughter.) Mr. Dunbar in support of the rule was heard at very great length, he complained in very strong terms that his case had not been fully investigated. Lord TENTERDEN—In my opinion, the proceedings that have already taken place have been most vexatious, and we should not be doing justice to the parties unless we discharge the rule, and that with costs. The other JUDGES concurring, the rule was discharged with costs. THE KING V. MALT AND FOUR OTHERS. The ATTORNEY• GENERAL prayed the judgment of the Court upon these defendants, who were convicted of a conspiracy to defraud. On their names being called, only Malt and Hodgson appeared. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL hoped the Court would entreat the recogniz tnces of the absent parties and their Loid TENTERDEN-1 think we should not be justified in doing that, as it appears from the affidavits that the no tice to come up for judgment was not left in the dwelling • house, but was pushed through the keyhole. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—That was the only means we had, as the houses have been closely fastened since the trial. The defendant Malt said he had received no notice at ail to attend. Lord TENTERDEN—WeII, never mind, then you are here without notice. His Lordship then directed that the defendants should be brought up on Friday se'nnight, to receive judgment, and in the mean time ordered that those present should be committed to the custody of the Mar shal of the Marshalsea, and, if possible, that the absent ones should be served with notice to attend.

Mr. CURWOOD applied for a mandamus directing the Master and Wardens of the Corporation of Patten Makers to call a general assembly of the Company, for the purpose of electing another Master and Wardens, to appoint Auditors of the Accounts, and alsoto allow the Members of the Company to inspect the books and papers. The Learned Counsel said the Corporation of Patten-makers' was incorporated in the 22d year of King Charles the Second, by Royal Charter, at which time all persons carrying on the trade of patten-makers, within ten miles of London, were de- Oared free of the Company, and the Company thus in corporated were authorised as a body to buy and sell lands out. Lord TENTERDEN.--T suppose your application is for the Company to admit some person to the freedom of the Company. Who are they bound to admit ? Mr. Cnawoon—They are bound to admit all persons, tons of freemen, being patten makers, those serving ap prenticeship to patten-makers, and all others who obtain majority of the votes of the members of the Company. ilia that was not the object, the present application being to get an inspector of the accounts, and alsa calling upon the Company to elect another Master and Wardens, the mode in which those now filling that office had been elected having been irregular, The Court granted a rule to show cause. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. WORAIWELL AND OTHERS V. HAILSTONE. This was an action brought by the plaintiffs against the defendant, in his character of Clerk to the Trustees of a Turnpike -road in Yorkshire, The cause was tried at the last Assizes at York, when the plaintiffs recovered a ver dict, and an executio n had been subsequently issued against the personal prope l ty of the defendant. Mr. Serjeant JONES was beard at very considerable length yesterday against the execution, and Mr. Serjeant IVILDE in support of it, after which the Court took time to consider the question. On their Lordships taking their seats this morning, The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, after having entered at con siderable length into a consideration of the provisions of the Turnpike Act, as well as adverted to the arguments brou g ht forward by the Learned Counsel on either side, Proceeded to state, that the Court was already of opinion HAY MARKETS.—(At per Load of 36 Trusses.)

They thought that it could never be inferred from those clauses that the clerk to the trustees was personally liable. The Court had there fore come to the conclusion not to grant a rule against the execution, but restraining the executing of it to the preju dice and injury of the person and effects of the clerk. GRANGE V. BRENT. Mr. Serjeant WILDE resumed his argument this morn ing in support of a rule for a new trial in this case, the facts of which must be fresh in the recollection of our commercial readers—on the ground that the verdict which had been obtained for the plaintiff was contrary to evidence. The whole question arose out of the wording of a chatter-party, and the Learned Counsel maintained that the construction put upon the word " impediment," by Mr. Serjeant Toddy, was not correct, he having stated it to the Jury as implying accident. The argument this morning all went to prove that the provisions of the char ter-party in question bad been chiefly complied with. The LORD CHIEF Jus-ricE said that although he was compelled to confess that he should have been perfectly satisfied had the Jury brought in a verdict for the de fendant, yet he did not see that their not having done so was sufficient to warrant the Court in granting a new trial. The question for the consideration of the Jury had been, whether or not the vessel had been delayed by " stress of weather or any other unavoidable impediment," and he knew uo fitter tribunal for such question to be tried before than a Jury of London merchants, and there fore, although he might himself have felt inclined to have drawn a different conclusion from the evidence adduced on the trial than they had done, he still thought that be was not called upon to say that he was so dissatisfied with their verdict as to induce him to give his concurrence to the granting of a new trial. The other Judges were of the opinion expressed by the Lord Chief Justice, and the rule was accordingly refused.

The KING gave an audience yesterday to the Duke of WELLINGTON, who arrived at the Palace about twelve o'clock from town. Lord FARNBOROUGH came to the Palace soon after his Grace, and was introduced to his MAJESTY. A number of public instruments, including a Commission to signify the Royal Assent to certain Bills in Parliament, were submit•ed to the KING, when his MAJESTY signified his commands that they should receive the Royal Signature. Lord FARNBOROUGH and the other Commissioners then stamped them with his MAJESLY'S signature. Under each signature the Commissioner who applied the stamp wrote—" Affixed in his MAJESTY'S presence and by his MAJESTY'S command," and signed his name. The Duke of WELLINGTON, as First Lord of the Treasury, attested the application of the signature. The warrants and commissions had previously been endorsed by three of the Cabinet Ministers named in the Act. A few minutes before four o'clock the Duke of WEL. LINGTON and Lord FARNBOROUGH left the Palace, on their return to town. The Duke of CUMBERLAND arrived from Kew at half past twelve o'clock, and had an interview tw►th his MAJESTY. The KING remains in a favourable state; his MAJESTY takes suitable nourishment. The following was the Bulletin of yesterday :--- " Windsor Castle, June 16.

The Spanish Minister had an interview with the Earl of ABERDEEN yesterday, at the Foreign Office. The French Ambassador was occupied a considerable time with the Noble Earl yesterday. Sir GEORGE MURRAY entertained:the Cabinet Ministers to dinner yesterday, at his residence in Belgrave-square. The triennial meeting of the three choirs of Worcester, Gloucester, and Hereford, will take place at Worcester this year, under the direction of Mr. CLARKE, organist of the Cathedral. (From the Morning Herald.) WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY EVENING. His MAJESTY'S health continues to improve; la , t night he again slept soundly for many hours, without the aid of medicine ; he breakfasted this morning with a good appe tite; and throughout the day he has remained composed and cheerful. In short—as one of the physicians has said is said to have said—" Flis MAJESTY is a wonderful man !—He has completely baffled all our calculations ! ! He is actually going on well ! ! !" To-day his MAJESTY has been occupied several hours in hiving his assent to the affixing the stamp of the sign manual to a great number of State documents. The Duke of WELLINGTON, Lord FARNBOROUGH, Sir W. KEPPEL, and Sir A. BARNARD were present, as before. The Duke of CUMBERLAND had a long interview with the KING to-day. The Duke of CLARENCE was expected, but had not yet arrived. The Earl of HARCOURT is seriously indisposed at his seat, St. Leonard's Hill, in this neighbourhood. The venerable Earl, now in his 87th year, has been a daily in quirer after his MAJEsTy's health, until within these two last days ; and to-day bis 111AsEsry asked why Lord HAR couwr had not called as usual. The answer was, " Lord Hancouar is extremely ill."-" Then," said his MA. JESTY, " let Sir HENRY HA Isom) go to him immediately." Sir HENRY went accordingly; but it seems there is not the slightest chance of the Noble Eail's surviving beyond a day or two. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. MR. CAMPBELL and the EXILE of ERIN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. SIR,—I am obliged to you for discrediting a silly para graph from the Sligo Observer, which is quoted in your paper of to-diy. It charges me with having abstracted the manuscript of the Exile of Erin from the papers of the late Duke (you call hill Marquis) of Buckingham. if my character did not repel this calumny, I could refute it by the fact that I never in my life had access to any papers of either a Duke or a Marquis of Buckingham. I wrote the song of the Exile of Erin at Altona, and sent it off immediately from thence to London, where it was published by my friend Mr. Perry in the Morning Chronicle. With the evi dencof my being the author of this little piece, I shall not trouble the world at present. Only if my Irish accuser has any proof that George Nugent Reynolds, Esq., ever affected to have written the song, they will consult the credit of his memory by not blazoning the anecdote, for if he asserted that the piece was his own, he assuredly told an untruth. lam inclined to believe, however, that the Sligo Observer's proffered witnesses are not pre-eminently blessed with good memories, for they offer to testify that they heard Mr. Reynolds, for years before his death, and prior to my publication of the song, repeat and sing it as his own. If the matter comes to a proof, I shall be able to prove that this is an utter impossibility, for I had scarcely composed the song when it was every where printed with my name; and it is inconceivable that Mr. Reynolds could have had credit for years among his friends for a piece which those friends must have seen publicly claimed by myself. But the whole charge is so absurd that I scarcely think the Sligo Observer and his witnesses will renew it. If they do they will only expose their folly, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, T. CAMPBELL. Middle Scotland-yard, Whitehall, June 16. ABDUCTION BY THE MOORS. The following is a copy of a letter intended to be sent from the Navy Board to the masters of all transports and freightships bound up the Mediterranean. The Highland Lad therein mentioned arrived at Corfu on the 2d ult. : " Information having been received that Mr. Hill, an officer of the Ordnance Department, who was proceeding to Corfu as passenger in the Highland Lad, having landed on the Moorish coast near Cape Spartel, while the ship was becalmed, was immediately surrounded by the na tives, and carried away into the interior of the country, this is to c rution you, in case you should have occasion to go near the coast of Morocco or of Barbary, generally, never to land on the open coast, nor to allow your crew to land, nor to furnish boats to passengers to go on shore. " ... By command of the Commissioners of the Navy, " G. SMITH•" According to the Dublin Papers Miss PATON and Mr. WOOD are to make their appearance in that city on Saturday next. Madame VESTRIS has been prevented, by indisposition, from fulfilling her engagement. In addition to what was stated last week, we understand that upon the Currency Question the Tories will cordially co-operate with Lord GREY, and that both parties, as we indeed then intimated, are firmly resolved to watch with a wary eye the proceedings of the Govern ment, checking them wherever their measures may appear to be wrong. The Tories will rally together, and form what the Duke of RICHMOND on a late occasion termed " A Country Party," acting as an organiz body, adhering together, and determined to hold the balance between all others. This result will; we are sure, be highly satisfac tory to the country; and we are happy to know that they will constitute a body sufficiently powerful in numerical strength, as well as in the moral influence of political in tegrity and sound talents, effectively to maintain the po sition of arbiters. On the Greek question, the course which we pointed out last week, is fully settled and de termined upon.--Brighton Gazette. FATAL EFFECTS' OF INTOXICATION.— The entertainments in the neighbourhood of Bannock burn, in honour of Mr. RAMSAY, of Barnton, having at tained his majority, had a very fatal termination on Sa turday. His workmen at Bannockburn Muir Colliery and the Sauchie and Craigend people having united, to the amount of 500, met in a sequestered field, called the Dovecot park, where was the carcass of an ox, 40 stone weight, revolving on an enormous spit, which four men were turning like a windlass between two large fires of glossy charcoal. The ox had been put to the fire at nine o'clock on the previous evening, while relays of men had constantly relieved each other in turning it. Four half. hogsheads of porter and If.x of strong ale, with about 60 gallons of whisky, had been also provided for the feast.— Pitchers of whisky, mixed with strong a'e and porter, were distributed, along with slices of beef and bread, to all and sundry. In the course of a couple of hours, the po tent liquors, quaffed by the multitude, strewed the green with the victims of gluttony and intoxication, and before sunset many had been removed in carts. On the roads from Bannockburn-mull, in every direction, people were found lying perfectly helpless. One man relates that be tween Bannockburn and Stirling, •he loosed the neck cloths, and placcd in e'evated positions, no less than eight individuals who were evidently in danger of suffocation.— Indeed, it could not be well otherwise, when the lads and lasses of the neighbouring villagers were furnished, ad libitum, with mingled strong ale and whisky. On the Sunday morning parties were out in all directions looking for relatives and friends, and removing them from the highways, that they might not be observed by people going to church. The effects of this disgracfeul drinking were, that three individua's have lost their lives in consequence ; not to mention several others who have narrowly escaped a similar fate from the same cause, having been obliged to be repeatedly bled, and afterwards attended by medical men.' Among the incidents, of another and more pleasant descriptien, we may mention the following :—A stout healthy wife, in the vigour of life, took such an active part in the convivialiti e s of the day, that she was at last fairly overpowered by John Barleycorn, and lay prostrate on the ground. Some -friend took care to put her into a cart, conveyed home, and put to bed. After tossing about for some time, she fell sound asleep. When she awoke she had become, quite unconsciously to herself', the mother of another "thualpia' wean. Scotch Paper, ARRIVALS.

Last night Mr. KEAN made his appearance at this theatre, in the character of Gloster, in Richard the Third, being the first performance of a series of six nights, for which he is engaged, previously, as the bilis state, to his retiring from the London boards. Mr. KEAN appears to have recovered from his recent indisposition, and Went through his favourite character with all his wonted talent and ability. It would be unnecessary to enumerate the various passages in this well-known performance in which he more particularly shone ; it will be sufficient to state that his exertions 1 ist night equalled, if not surpassed, any thing that has been witnessed for some years past. The gratification which the audience experienced on seeing this desirable change, was testified throughout the evening by the most enthusiastic plaudits. In the tent scene, and also in the dying scene, he was most effective; but throughout the whole his acting was excellent. On the fall of the curtain there was a general call for KEAN. When Mr. COOPER came forward to announce the performances of the following day. he was obliged to retire to pacify the audience, and in a few minutes appeared, leading on the stage Mr. KEAN. After the applause had subsided, Mr. KEAN, who evidently was much exhausted, expressed, in a low and:feeble tone of voice, the gratification he felt on meeting with so flattering a reception from a generous audience. On his retiring he was again honoured with three distinct rounds of applause ; and also when Mr. CoopEa announced his re.appearance for Monday next. Mrs. GLOVER represented the Queen in her usual style of excellence, and Mr. CoorEtt, as Richmond, was well re ceived. The other characters were very indifferently re presented, and my Lord of Oxford excited the reverse feeling front that which is generally experienced on the re presentation of a tragedy. The house was very well filled. The first number of the " Library pf Gene ril Knowledge," which has been for some time announced by Messrs. CoLBUNN and BENTLEY, on the popular plan of cheap monthly publication, will make its - appearance, we understand, on the first day of the next month. The subject adopted for the commencement of the undertaking is one of un►versal interest to the feelings of Englislunt•ri —the Life of Lord BYRON—a name which all must ac knowledge to be imperishably connected with the records of his country. The execution of the task, it appears, has been confided to the experienced pen of Mr. Gmq, who was the companion of his Lordship during one period of his foreign travels, and who is reported to be the pos sessor of such materials as will be found to add consider able novelty to the other attractions which a work of thi s nature, published on the plan in question, must possess, BOARD OF EXCISE COURT. This was an application on the part of Mr. Daniel Smith, the auctioneer, to recover back the SUM of 321. for auction duty, on account of a sale which had taken place, but was not completed, the terms of the conditions of the sale not being complied with. It is necessary to state, that the auction duty must be paid within a certain time, whether the estate is bona fide sold or not, and that it often occurs that the purchaser, from want of a good title, will not complete his purchase; and their being no real sale, it rests with the Commissioners of the Excise Court to relieve the venders from the auction duty of seven pence in the pound. The case stood over from a former day, to allow time to produce deeds and documents, which are required by the Court. Mr. Smith had just returned from Windsor, but the attorney for the venders could not find the deeds required, nor could he adduce fresh evidence. The sale had taken place for the benefit of two orphan children, and the property produced 1,1551, upon which 321. odd auction duty had been duly paid. The purchaser had paid down the usual deposit at the time of sale, but as a material deed could not be produced, he refused to complete the purchase, and in an action tried at Reading Assizes, he re covered back his deposit money, and the present claim was therefore made for the restitution of the anction duty. CHIEF COMMISSIONER—Who will sustain the loss of the auction duty ? Mr. Smith--The children for whom I was employed. The COMMISSIONERS, after a consultation, decided against the claim. Mr. Smith—lt is a very hard case. Messrs. Farebrother, Wilson, and Lye appeared to claim V. under similar circumstances. The case was satisfactorily proved, and the Court allowed the claim. CHICHESTER.—It is now certain that Mr. POYNTZ retires from the representation of this town, and Mr. CULLEN starts as candidate to succeed him. We find that JOHN SMITH, Esq , of Dale park, has announced his intention of becoming a candidate. —Brighton Guardian. HASTINGS.—We are pleased in being able to report progress. A second candi,late has come forward, who will stand with OzwAY CAVE, Esq., on the popular interest.—Brighton Guardian.

Great rejoicings took place last week at Houghton, near Lynn, occasioned by the arrival of the Marquis of CHOLMONDELEY at his seat in that village, it being the first visit of the Marquis since his marriage with Lady SUSAN SOMERSET, fourth daughter of the Duke of BEAUFORT. The horses were taken from the carriage, and ropes being attached, the vehicle was drawn through the beautiful park by the rustier, loudly cheering on the way. The pulling clown of the rear of the house in Pall-mall adjoining that of his Grace the Duke of Buciumniam, is said to be for the purpose of making domestic offices to that of Mr. HERRIES. DUBLIN CASTLE, MONDAY, HALF-PAST Two P.M.-An express has just arrived from Kingstown, stating that the hulk Essex, ,stationed in that harbour, is on fire, and nearly consumed. A number of convicts are on board. The sloop of war Trinculo, and the revenue brig Shamrock, with some transports, have sent all their boats to the assistance of the unfortunate prisoners ; and a strong force of horse and foot police from the city has been ordered off to Kingstown. I have not yet ascertained whether any lives have been lost, or whether the disaster is the result of accident or design. The Essex was an American frigate of 36 guns, and was taken during the late war at Valparaiso, by his Majesty's frigate Phoebe, Of 36 guns, commanded by Capt. HILLIER.-Morn. Paper.

SOUTHAMPTON.-A rather curious circum stance happened here during the last week :—A shoctnaker named WritcectrEa had a lodger, an elderly female, who died with rent in turear fur the lodgings. The body W as coffined, and the removal of it was about to take place, when the shoemaker made his appearance, and seized the body, coffin, and all, for his rent. The pol , ice were ap plied to, lawyers were sent fo4i, and, after considerable cavil, the qhoernaker was convinced he had no legal right to detain the corps e ; but here his Misfortunes' did not end, for in grasping at the shadow lie (like the dog in the fade) lost the substance, the son of the deceased having, whilst he was arguing his right to detain the body, walked off with the bed and what little furniture was in tie apartments. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HAMPTON RACES. The meeting annually held on Moulsey Hurst com menced yesterday—Lord Lowther, the Right Hon. John Wilson Croker, and Scott Stonehewer, Esq., officiating as stewards. The weather was gloomy in the early part of the morning, but afterwards beeline extremely favourable, and continued so throughout the day ; the company in consequence was much more numerous than might other wise have been expected, many who had been prevented attending Ascot by the heavy rains having availed them selves of the present opportunity of enjoying their favourite sport. The gaming booths were, as usual, in abun dance ; here, however, as at Ascot, there was a general complaint of the slackness of play.—little or nothing was done. Several fashionables were on the ground, including the E irl of Wilton, Lord Lowther, Lord W. Lennox, Sir D wit' Baird, Sir Mark Wood, Sir G. Heathcote, Colonel Charretre, Hon. Capt. Roils, Col. Standen, Capt. Byng, Capt. Bulkeley, Mr. Croker, Mr. Maberly, Mr. Scott Stonehewer, &c. There were only two races in the list, but they afforded six capital heats, some of them being contested with extraordinary severity, particularly the first, which was a dead heat. The races commenced a little before two, and terminated between five and six o'clock, as follow : The Clarence Stakes of 10 sovs. each, and 20 added from the fund ; the winner to be sold for 150g5., &c., if de manded.

Gas took the lead at a good pace, and kept four or five lengths in front, till the turn for straight running, and it appeared here that his winning was a certainty. Verdict, however, who had been lying second, now came up, and from the distance home, ran neck and neck with Gas, finishing it a dead heat. Second heat.—Even betting between Gas and Verdict ; the former for choice. The running for this beat was pre cisely the same as for the last, till the last few strides, when Verdict went up to Gas, and beat him by a head only. Third heat.-7 to 4on Verdict, and 2to 1 a g st Gas. The Middleton colt mad e th e p l ay , f o ll owe d by Verdict, who won cleverly by half a length—rode by a lad, Gas by Wakefield, Caradori, by C.

Mr. Hervey's Syntax, aged. First heat.—lmpudence and Wigwam agst the field.— Miletus and brother to Nessus made the running to the first turn, where they ran a little out. Syntax was then in front, and directly after Queen of Hearts went a-head, where she continued to the end, winning cleverly by a length and a half. Second heat.—Benefit took the lead, followed by Impu dence to the turn, where the latter took precedence; at the distance the Cocktail (Lady Louisa) was in front, and won by about a length, after a middling race. In making the turn Queen of Hearts fell and hurt her rider, but not se riously—she was not injured. The betting in this heat was 6 to 4 agst Queen of Hearts. In the third beat Benefit again made the play, and with as little effect : at the turn for straight running Queen of Hearts and Impudence singled themselves out, and ran neck and neck to the finish, the Queen winning by a bead only. She is sister to Mouche. S. Minn rode her in the first two heat*, and Wright in the last, Yelva being drawn ; Lady Louisa by Macdonald, Impudence by Wakefield, Pilot by Dockeray, and the others by lads. The trainer of Impudence affirms that Queen of Hearts did not save her distance in the second heat, and claims the stakes. EGHAM RACES.

A meeting of this Society was held yesterday at their rooms in Regent-street, The Right Hon. R. W. HORTON in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN proceeded to read the resolutions, the most material of which were to the effect, that there existed a great excess in the numbers of the labouring population of the United Kingdom, as compared with the means of employment—that this state of things was productive of vice and misery, and a burdensome amount of taxation=that in our extensive colonies there was.a great -scarcity of la-. bourers, which produced very injurious effects—.-that one of the most important objects of public :eee nomy was the adoption of some'sound systein •of colonization to relieve this country from its rednn dant labourers, and bring thennappropriated lands of our colonies into occupation—that the Society invite the parishes in England, and the proprietors of land in Scotland and Ireland, to furnish them with information as to the condition of the poor, and the means of colonization, in their several dis tricts—that information be obtained as to the best places for emigration —and that a Committee be ap pointed to frame rules and regulations, and the earli est opportunity of ex pl a i n i n g t o t h e public their view of the most expedient means of carrying the object of the Society into effect. The Chairman proceeded to say, that the question was not so much to what extent colonization was to be carried into effect, as to establish the principle of the propriety of afford ing our surplus population an opportunity to escape fi om their present condition of pauperism on our colo nial possessions,where their labour might be profitably exercised. He believed that the cause of coloniza tion was on the advance. He had yesterday pre sented a petition to the House of Commons from the rate-payers of the parish of Frome, in Somerset shire, stating the melancholy condition of the unem ployed poor in that district, and calling upon Puha.. merit to adopt measures to facilitate emigration. The petitioners expressed their willingness to take upon themselves the expense of making the attempt in their own parish. Frome contained 7,300 acres, and a population of 14,000 persons. There were 2,500 individuals assessed as rate-payers, of whore % however, 500 were themselves chargeable upon the parish. The number of able-bodied labourers re ceiving parochial relief was 557, and their families amounted to 2,475 persons. Employment could not be found for one-third of the able-bodied la.. bourers supported by the parish, and the labour of those who were employed was not productive. Within the last three years a sum of 91,000/. had been expended in the maintenance of the poor in this parish. Taking 1,200 labourers as the number necessary for the employment that could be afforded, 250 of the present number might be spared frame diately, leaving a surplus of 300 labourers more than were usually required to answer contingencies. The saving of the parish, if 250 individuals and, their families were removed, would amount to 3,75f.V, per annum, and they could be removed for five years' purchase of the expenditure incurred annually for their support. The Right Hon. Gentleman pro ceeded to refer to the details and results of an ex periment made in the parish of Bennington (Kent), in the removal of paupers. In 1825 the expeose of maintaining the poor in that parish was 2,9754, i n 1826 it amounted to 2,962/. In 1827, 58 indivi duals were removed to the United States, at an ex pense of 5341.; which sum was borrowed at 4 per cent. In that year there was spent for the relief of the poor 2 215/ and 85/. was repaid by instalments on account of the loan, making a total of 2,300/. In 1828, 87 persons emigrated at an expense of 6211.. The instalments in part payment of • the loans amounted in that year to 212/., and the expenditure for the maintenance of the poor to 2,2851.—t0tal 2,4971. In 1829 no emigration took place; there was paid that year, on account of the loans, 317;, ; and for the support of the poor 2,008/., mtdting gross amount of 2,3251. In the year ending Lady day, 1830, there was a small emigration, which was effected at an expence of 40/, The instalments this year amounted to 251/., and the sum expended in relief to 1,933/., total 2,184/. Thus the rates had been reduced in four years from 2,9624 to 2,1841., of which sum 251/. was paid in part dis charge of the principal and interest of the loans. 1,197/. had been borrowed, and 866/. paid on ac count of principal and interest so lent. In 1825 and 1826 there were from 70 to 90 able-bodied labourers on the parish from want of employment, Since the latter period 56 labourer* bail emigtved (with their families), and now there was rarely surplus of labourers. The details of this chse proved the advantages of emigration, and that tees surplus hands would generally create fifteen. These indivi duals were sent out to the United States ; would it not have been better if our own colonies had re ceived the benefit of their labour; for it was us un doubted fact that population constituted the wealf.tt of colonies, and that the want of population ten dered ours a burden to us, The great point was to ascertain whether the principle of colonization was good and applicable. He was of opinion that it was, and hoped eventually to see it adopted., Mr. O'BRIEN, M.P., in moving the first resolu tion, observed, that the simplest and most effectual course, with a view to relieve all parties, wask tta carry labour from the market where.it was in cess, to that in which it was in demand, Mr. BUCKLER seconded the resolution. Mr. WILLES asked whether Government had given its sanction to the S.ociety ? The CHAIRMAN replied in the negative. Mr. Wrfaxsi argued, that we should endeavour to give our population employment in their native land, before we placed before them the stern altern ative of starvation or expatriation., We had 15,000,000 of acres of waste lands. Mr. POWER spoke to order, The scheme pro. posed was not one of expatriation, but a plan for voluntary colonization, Mr. OwEN approved generally of the resolutions and of the object of the Society, which should re ceive his support. The resolution was put and agreed to, there being only two dissentients. Colonel TORRENS movod the second resolution, and, in doing so, took occasion strongly to recom mend the adoption of a plan of extended colonization. Mr. Scar' seconded the resolution. The third resolution was moved by Mr. W. HUTT, who expressed his opinion as to the perfect practi cability of abstracting a sufficient portion of the pauper population of this country to afford relief to those who should be left behind, Mr. STknA..tNrq seconded the resolution, which was finally agreed to, Mr, e. Bumen, M.P., moved the next resolu tion, nominating a Committee, which was seconded by_lllr._.T. Hutt. Mr. W. Horton's name was one of those contained in the list of the Committee.—The resolution was agreed to. The Rev. G. V. SA3IPSON proposed the fifth re solution, which, having been seconded, was agreed. to; as were the remaining resolutions, and the meet. ing adjourned. T time, with the excep tionof a day ortwo, been very •tenseasonable, the sun he weather u phas to this being seldom seen, with cold bleak winds, and much wet, greatly preponderating; the consequence is, that the corn ing crops are in a very backward state in this neighbour hood, though the whet upon the good lands look tolerably healthy. In muis, pasts of Northumberland, in cold and exposed sitil4oo4s, the crops of both wheat and oats pre sent r ‘ vsry thin and yellow appearance. Indeed, the oats, it is, anticipated, will prove the most deficient crop expe rienced here for many years. The hay crop promises to be very abundant, . In Cumberland the crops are said to lojk well, but much in want of warmth: In Berwick shire, the crops of every kind are stated to have a very prom ; ;;arg . appearance, with the exception of some fields of whiCh have suffered greatly from the grab. In East Lothian, the present season is regarded as one of the earliest and mist abundant grass seasoss on record ;. and with a few exceptions, the wheat crop is in a thriving st ete; but the oats have suffered extensively from the slug and wire-worm.
