LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 1845. On Monday evening Lord JOHN RUSSELL brought forward his promised series of resolutions, which, though nominally limited to a review of the condition of the abouring classes, embraced a great variety of other topics. These topics were, many of them, of an interest almost equally extensive to such as the Currency, the Corn Laws, and Free Trade. His speech also embraced a searching inquiry into the condition of education among the people generally ; but this subject is so legi timately connected with any attempt to consider the con dition of the poor, that we should not venture to discuss the one without the other. From this description of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S speech, our readers will readily understand that it would not be very practicable to con dense such observations as we may desire to offer upon it, within the limits of a single article. Sir JA3IES GRAHAM passed this well-merited eulogium upon it ; that in justice to the Noble Lord he felt bound to say that anything more worthy the great subject it dealt with, or more comprehensive in its views than the speech of the Noble Lord, he had never heard in that House. It was totally devoid of all party feeling, or any acrimonious assertion , . To this high prai;e it was certainly entitled ; and from that very conviction we are as anxious to parti cularise its more prominent merits as to express with caution, and all the respect duo to such a gifted speaker, the occasional points as to which we find ourselves un able to arrive at the same conclusions which he has re corded. Impossible as it will be on the present occasion to do more than throw a comprehensive glance over the general effect of this admirable address, owing to the pressure of much matter of immediate interest, we cannot refrain from expressing the gratification we have derived from the indications this speech everywhere abounds with, of a deep and anxious solicitude for the welfare of the in dustrial classes. Lord Jousr RUSSELL speaks like a man alive to the wrongs which this invaluable class of the community have long endured, and bent on a vigor ous and chivalrous effort to retrieve there from their pressure in future. On the question of the course to be taken in providing for the general education of the poor we are proud to find his Lordship concurring in a prin ciple we have so lately argued in relation to that point. Ile expresses broadly his conviction that any mea sures fur the moral or intellectual improvement of the poorer classes, to be attended with success, must be preceded by adequate provision for their physical im provement, and especially of their food, subsistence, and lodging. It certainly does appear a romantic com mencement of any scheme of popular amelioration— where the distress to be remedied is extensively diffused and of the most sordid and disorganising character, and its causes imbedded deeply in by by-gone errors of po litical legislation and social usages—to grapple with the choice of abstract principles to be adopted in the discipline and training of men's minds, whilst their bodies are exhausted by inanition, suffering, and disease. What are class books and interesting lessons in light or instructive literature to them, whilst they themselves are starving, and their families are sinking around them, under the double pressure of want and domestic misery? With regard to the Noble Lord's statistics of wages and prices, in their reciprocal relations to one another, we cannot entirely concur in the results which he draws from his own premises. Into that larger question, how ever, we will net now enter ; and we forbear, for the present, from contesting, as we should feel bound and prepared to do, the Noble Lord's views of the action of the Bank Restriction Act of 1797, at the time, and ever since, on the wages-of labour and the con dition of the labouring population. It is with all sub. mission go sort of proof that the present wages of la bour are not greatly below a fair remunerating, or even a bare living standard in some of the largest branches of agricultural and manufacturing employment, that it appears from Mr. Dent's tables that wages are much the same now, with corn at a moderate price, as they were in 1801, for instance, with corn at the famine price of 115 s. per quarter. It is clear that the Noble Lord omits out of his calculation the enormously increased burden of indirect taxation now borne by the labourer, and the consequent reduced amount of necessaries and all other consumable articles which the same nominal sc , tle of wages now represents. The consideration of this incident in the condition of in dustrial labour in this country—of the operation upon it of the altered standard of currency established by Sir R. PEEL in 1819, and of the corn-laws, we must defer to a future but early opportunity. Connected with the question of corn-laws, we cannot deny ourselves the pleasure of noticing the manly and candid language in which the Noble Lord acknowledged the discrepant} between his present convictions touching the expediency of a graduated scale of protecting duties. We shall speedily recur to them, and to his argument in favour of a fixed low duty of 45., 55., or Gs. per quarter. The discussion of Friday evening last, like its prede cessor, in the beginning of the weck, on the navy esti mates, was again productive of many important revela tions connected with the past and present administra tion of our navy. If the plain speaking and somewhat homely rebukes to which Sir C. NAPIER is in the habit of treating the Board of Admiralty, whenever the busi ness before the House of Commons suggests an oppor tunity, be disagreeable to the Lords Commissioners, and perhaps occasionally somewhat indiscreet as respects the interests of the public service (and it is very doubtful whether they are fairly amenable to this latter objection), they are evidently producing, and will continue to produce, the most beneficial re sults upon the efficiency and strength of the ser vice. The Gallant Commodore, too, has been ably seconded, as we have before had occasion to remark, by such distinguished practical authorities as Captains BERKELEY, PECIIELL, Rous, and by Lord INGESTRE ; and his Lordship's suggestions on Friday night, on the subject of the establiThment of a scientific board, ex clusively constituted for considering and reporting upon all new inventions, pr,jects of improvement, &c., in connexion with the construction, rigging, and sailing of our ships of war, are well entitled to the most attentive consideration. His Lordship now declares that which we should scarcely have inferred from a speech of his in the beginning of the week—namely, " rhat the office of surveyor of the navy involves a much greater amount of responsibility than ought to vest in any one man. That to expect all the ships in ordinary and in active service to he properly superintended by one individual, seemed to him quite unreasonable." This is the very complaint which they have made, who have most tenaciously impugned the "intuitive" system or ship building which Sir W. SYMONDS has been per mitted, at such vast expense to the country, with such uninterrupted fatuity on the part of successive Admi- ralty Boards, and with results so generally remarkable for their utter failure or their costly worthlessness, to indulge in. But of the Surveyor-General's ships a word or two more presently. We would here repair an omission in our argunmit of last week on the absurdity as well as the mischief of undermanning ships of the line at any time ; but, when they are to be em ployed iu an experimental squadron, most parti cularly. We would ask, if the crews of such a squadron cannot do the duty of able seamen, what is the value of the teat which eteir working of these ships, built on " various principles," can supply ? This scheme is like an attempt to ascertain the respec tive pace and bottom of so many untried racers by the riding of so many untried or awkward jockies. What man in his senses would lay out his money on their future perf ormances upon a consiikration of th e resu l ts of such a trial ? It your steed is a good one, it will pav you to h a v e t h e b est r i ders. If your ships are worth anything like what the Admiralty, or their faith in the judgment of the Surveyor of the Navy, contend that they are, it is worth your while to man them with a competent proprtion of able seamen. Only varied by its greater extent, surely the same argument applies to our navy at large. Nor does Sir GEORGE COCKBURN dispute that fact. So far from it, he declares that— "The advantage of having the ships on foreign service •well manned was, that the men were rendered most efficient seamen, and they had a fleet in a fit condition to meet an enemy." " But"—and when we came to this " but," we were really anxious to find what was to be the qualification of the preceding position, to which we so cordially sub scribe:— " But, unless public affairs wore a very threatening aspect, he did not think that, in a time of peace, this country should be put to the expense of maintaining a larger fleet than was necessary for the protection of our commerce abroad." What! has nothing happened, of late, in either hemi- sphere—has no demonstration—utterly irrespective of commerce, been made by any other Pow er, which has made the presence of our flag necessary, where it has had neither merchants nor merchandise to protect ? Is the moral influence of that flag, is the physical force that is concentrated beneath it, never felt nor displayed except in the service of our commerce ? We will not advert to pending differences, which needless discussion will never diminish; but we will ask how Sir GEORGE COCKLURN'S observation will apply to our slave-trade prevention cruisers? On a recent occasion, Sir CHARLES NAPIER thus illustrated the mischievous tendencies of these experimental squadron trials, whilst there is such a sad deficiency of able sea men; and no assertion of ours could so impres sively enforce upon the Government its duty to the country; or the country its duty to that Government— in the event hypothetically anticipated:— " If they wished to make the navy a popular profession, they must give up all their notions about economy, andlully man all the ships they sent to sea, or else the sailors would be discontented at the amount of work which they had to perform ; and they would be told, as they had been told on a former occasion, that it was all hands all day, and every body all night'." Sir C. N'APIER'S challenge of the estimates on Friday last was scarcely, we think, met by explanations suffi ciently satisfactory on the part of the Admiralty. But at all events the very charge involved in this challenge must be taken to acquit the Admiralty of any undue leaning to that " economy" which was somewhat slightingly thus alluded to by the Gallant Officer. In objecting to the vote of 1,273,7891. for naval stores, he contended that if the vote were really to pass, the amount ought not to be expended in the wasteful manner of former years. 1,350,5821. had been ex pended under this head in the first year of the present Government's return to office; 1,372,810/. in the fol lowing year; and in 1844, for stores only, 1,190,0001 ; and he would undertake, in each case, to show, that neither by the present Government nor by their prede cessors had these large votes been, in any sense of the word, properly laid out. Now, this is a grave accusa tion, for it deals with a sum of upwards of five mil- lions; nor can it be said that it was left by Sir CHARLES in any vague or undetailQd statement. In 1841, he showed that two ships were built of very large dimen sions, the Queen and the Albion, upon the plans of Sir W. SYMONDS. Of the trials which had been made with the Queen he had already complained as utterly insuf ficient properly to test her qualities, and that complaint he repeated, with this still more serious one—that the Admiralty had ordered other ships to be completed (which had been begun under a former Government) on the model of the Queen, before more conclusive trial and experiment had ascertained that she had the qualities which would justify the laying down any more ships of the line in the same mould. The Queen is now about to be sailed to test her powers once more, after having been taken into dock and altered at a vast expense. If, as every body must wish, she should succeed, of course the other two ships, built on the same plan, must under go similar alterations at similar charges. But what have the present Admiralty done ? They have directed the completion of the other large ships on the same con struction, namely, the Royal Albert (120), the Prince of Wales (110), which are but one tenth finished, another of 110 guns, one-sixteenth finished, without waiting for the reports on the two companion or pattern ships of the Queen, already referred to And will it be believed, that after the ascertained defi ciencies of the Queen, and the enormous disappoint ment occasioned by the performances of the Albion (which have then so often dwelt upon in The Sun), Her Majesty's Government, untaught by experience, undeterred by practical tests of sailing, working, and steering, exemplified in the cruizes of the experimental squadron, have ordered the Windsor Castle, of 110 guns, another first-rate of the same force, and the St. Jean d'Acre of 90, all to be built by Sir W. SY3IOXDS ? With regard to steam-vessels of war, the Gallant Commodore repeated his asserticn, that the Gorgon, Cyclops, and Firebrand have all proved, in one essential particular, failures ; particularly as to the exposed condition of their machinery and boilers in one, and the impossi bility of carrying heavy guns on the lower deck in an other. For these mistakes the last Board of Admi ralty were responsible ; for the Retribution the present Board were answerable ; and this had all the defcets of the others. We a ill not again follow the Gallant Member hrough his comparative statement of the steam navy 'once of France and of this country. But it is gratifying :o find, from Sir GEORGE COCKBURN'S Ftatement in reply, that our steam navy is every day undergoing im provements in the stowage of the boilers and machinery of the vessels under the water line ; and the adoption of all new inventions of established importance. We have every confidence that these and still more exten sive benefits are in the course of daily accomplishment, and we cannot doubt of the gratitude with which the service will regard this gallant Admiralty Lord's deter mined purpose to put down the evils of the crimping system. Captain PECHELL, in an admirable speech, showed how futile and—(we should be inclined to apply to them a stronger epithet)—how practically unfuunde,l was the despair of the Conservative Member for Brid port, of being able to man his ships without tolerating this detestable practice, and the detestable outcasts of society who conduct it, by the noble example of the Messrs. GREEN, the great builders of Blackwell. But we take it that Captain PECHELL will find it a difficult task to convert others to that belief in the excellence of such liberality as the Messrs. GREEN have dis played, which will induce its imitation. To show how great a degree of good has been already effected by the wholesome Parliamentary agitation. For which the navy and the country at large are so much Indebted to the NAPIERS, BERKELEYS, PECHELLS, and ROUSES of the present day, we subjoin the very satis factory compendium of naval improvements now intro duced, or in progress, supplied in the conclusion of Sir G. COCKBURN'S speech of Friday:—" When the present Government came into office, the Admiralty took great pains to try to lower the position of the ' machinery in steam-vessels.' They were now building with the view of finding out the best construction, and, as he said before, vs ith the view of placing the machinery below water-mark. They were also going to try the rotatory engine ; and though the vessels were at present liable to have their machinery struck by shot, he would venture to say they were as good as any that France possessed. He was in hopes before long to have ALL the vessels fitted with the screw instead of paddles ; and, as an, instance of the efficiency of the screw, he might mention that in a trial of speed the Rattler beat the Vesuvius, went round the Bass Rock, and turned hack twenty miles before it met the latter vessel." If, upon the whole, we see reason to contemplate with pride and confidence the advanced improvement and efficiency of our navy, espe cially of our armed steamer force, we are, at the same time, deeply sensible how much the country is indebted for such results to the Gallant Officers above mentioned. The new treaty between France and England for the suppression of the slave trade, agreed to by the Duke DE BROGLIE and Dr. LIISHINGTON, will be hailed with satisfaction by the friends of both countries, and we cordially hope, also, by those amiable, humane, and persevering Christians who have so long exerted them selves to abate the sufferings of the African race. Each nation engages to keep up a certain number of ships, with the power to stop all fuspicious vessels, for the purpose of ascertaining whether they have assumed a false flag, and of watching those parts of the African coast where the trade is most likely to be carried on. Thus there will be three squa drons, English, French, and American, fitted out for abating this atrocious traffic, the greatest force ever collected for such a humane object, and, in our opinion, the most likely to be successful. Hitherto, in fact, little has been done but mischief by all the schemes tried. The sufferings of the negroes on board the slave-ships were latterly multiplied tenfold, while every fresh colli sion between English and French ships threatened one of the greatest calamities that could afflict the civilized world. The accounts from Spain are to the 19th. At the meeting of the Chamber of Peers on that day, M. CARASCO adverted to the rumours respecting the late intelligence from Rome, and said he had intended to move an amendment to the budget, but was little disposed to take any step which could embarrass the Government at that moment, when an insult had been offered to the national honour. M. MAnTINEZ DE LA ROSA said no insult had been offered, and added that while he and his colleagues remained in office, the national honour should be duly defended. Reports of a division in the Cabinet prevailed, and caused a depression in the funds. The Three per Cents. closed at 32 for cash, and 32A at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 24 15-16 at 60 days. The Paris papers contain no intelligence of interest. The principal topic in those of the Opposition is the refusal of the Emperor of MOROCCO to sanction the commercial treaty which his Envoy, without authority, had entered into with the'French Commissioner General DE LA Rus. Some blame the EaSPEROR. others the English; but their remarks are so vague, and their statements respecting this country so destitute of truth, that they deberve no notice.

INDIAN DISPATCHES. (From the London Gazette of last night.) INDIA BOARD, MAY 24. A Dispatch, from which the following is an extract, has been this day received at the India House : THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA IN COUNCIL TO THE SECRET COMMITTEE OF THE EAST INDIA COMPANY, FORT WILLIAM, APRIL 7, 1845. (Extract. ) We have the hononr to transmit the accompanying copy of dispatches, from Major- General Sir Charles" Napier, G.C. 8., reporting the successful termination of the campaign against the mountain desert tribes, on the right bank of the Indus. We also submit a copy of the general order issued on this occasion, and we feel assured that you will concur with us in the high opinion we have expressed of these able and impor tant operations. GOVERNMENT ,NOTIFICATION. Fort William, Foreign Department, March 29, 1845. The Governor-General in Council Las the greatest satisfac tion in announcing to the army the complete success of the operations of Major-General Sir Charles Napier, G. C 8., against the mountain desert tribes on the right bank of the Indus to the north of Shikarpoor. Extracts from his Excel lency's dispatches are published for general information. An operation of this nature demanded, on the part of the General, the utmost prudence, skill, and foresight, and on the part of the troops the greatest fortitude in enduring the fatigues and privations to which they were exposed. These qualities, which prove the merit of a commander and the discipline of the troop', have been displayed by both with characteristic energy. Every Officer and man in this short but arduous campaign has shown that there are no difficulties which discipline cannot surmount under able guidance, In some instances the marches performed by infantry and artillery have been so remarkable that the Governor General in Council has called upon the Major-General to transmit the details of his arrangements, in order that the record may be preserved for the information of the service. The chastisement which these robber tribes :have received will convince them, that they can no longer depend upon their mountain fastnesses for security, nor plunder with impunity vil lages under British protection. The Governor-General in Council cordially congratulates Major-General Sir Charles Napier on the successful termina tion of this campaign. He begs that his Excellency will in form the general officers, officers, non-commissioned officers, and private soldiers, that the Governor-General in Council ad mires and acknowledges their patient perseverance and indefa tigable exertions throughout these operations. The Governor-General will convey to his Highness Ali Morad the sense he entertains of the zeal, courage, and fidelity displayed by his Highness on this occasion. EXTRACTS FROM DISPATCHES FROM MAJOR -GENERAL SIR C. NAPIER, G.C.8., TO THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA IN COUNCIL, &C. Camp, Truckee, Feb. 10, 1845. It is my duty to his Highness Ali Morad Khan, Talpoor, to make an official report of this Prince's conduct as a faithful ally of the British nation. At the commencement of the present campaign on the Sinde frontier, his Highness brought an auxiliary force into the field, under his personal command, and has given me every as sistance in his power. His Highness was ever eager to be in front, and in fact his troops encamped farther into the pass than ours, at least up to the present moment. For his Highness I have to crave your thanks, Right Hon. Sir; they are due to him for the zeal and courage with which he has served the Hon. Company, and at a large expenditure, thus proving the fidelity of his alliance. Camp, Truckee, March 9, 1845. I have to report to you the conclusion of the war against the mountain and desert tribes, who, driven into their last refuge, the stronghold at Truckee, have this day laid down their arms ; the fort of Deyrah is destroyed; and Islam Rsogtie, the only chief not a prisoner, is said to be a lonely fugitive to the Ketran country, far in the north, and ruled by a chief whose daughter Islam married. To detail the movements which led to this result would produce a dispatch of greater length than is necessary; nor indeed could it be well understood, as no map exists of this part of Sehwistan and Cutchee. Suffice it, therefore, to say, that the mountain tribes occupy a country of extensive deserts and barren mountains, stretching about 140 miles from east to west. On the western side it is about 12) miles in breadth, but has a triangular form, and diminishes towards the east to the breadth of about fifty miles. Into this apex, or smaller part, we succeeded in driving the robber chiefs, but with great difficulty, for this part of the country is full of the most dan gerous defiles. To enter them with a regular force is an ope ration which threatens it with destruction. The only credit to be acquired in such a war is that which resu'ts from patience under privations created by the dearth of water and the difficulty of getting up supplies. These deprivations were borne by this whole force with so much good-humour as to show that the eager desire of every one to do his duty ab sorbed all other feelings, and deserves my highest praise. These privations fell especially hard upon those hard-working and much-enduring men called camp followers. The demands of this campaign at times placed Major- Generals Simpson and Hunter in commands which. in point of numbers, were more suited to the rank of captains than to that of general officers; but, well aware of the vast importance at taching to each post in so dangerous a country as this, these gene: al officers devoted themselves with the greatest alacrity to the duties demanded of them. In short, 1 must speak in the highest terms of all the officers, non- commissioned officers, and privates in this field force, whether belonging to the general staff, my personal staff, or to regiments. Every thing has been accomplished by their personal exertions, each in his own sphere. I have also been fortunate in the commanders of all arms, and I therefore give a simple list of their names in the margin, that whateve r cre dit t h e supreme G overnment may deem due to the troops may be theirs. This force consists of 4,861 men of all arms, including non commissioned officers ; a small force, when it is considered over what an extensive tract of country our operations have been carried, and the difficult nature of that country. The results of this campaign may be divided into two parts, the physical effect, and the moral effect. With regard to the first, the results are as follows :- Ist. The total destruction of the robber tribes. Deyriah Khan, Chief of the Jakranies, Dinanah Moondrannee, Sooli man Ramdanee, and Toork Ali, and their tribes, all surren dered on the sth, accompanied by Jumal Khan, nephew of Beejar Khan Doomkie, with a large portion of that tribe. These men I pardoned and saved from plunder, but on condi tion of their being transplanted into the Sinde torritory. The great Chief Beejar Khan, and the rest of the Doomkies, refused to surrender on the proffered conditions. They held out till this day, when they were forced to submit unconditionally, together with Meer Hussen Notanee, a lead ing chief of the Boogtie tribe, and his followers ; also Mundoo Khan Doomkie, nephew to Beejar Khan, and Wuzeer Doomkie, son of Beejar Khan. Ali Sher Boortlie, a minor desert chief, surrendered a week ago, and was the first who broke the coa lition. The chiefs and their tribes who held out have been de servedly plundered by the troops which I had dispatched in all directions to intercept tht it retreat with their baggage ; cattle, household furniture, almost every thing has been taken, except what was in possession of their women and children, who have been in no way molested, or even approached by the troops. The moral effect of this expedition has been-- I. To spread a wholesome respect for our arms among the will form a just i dea of the British neighbouring nations, wh ), seeing the t ri b es, so warlike and honoured among them, have been brok en to pieces without daring to fight a battle, even when post e d i n the celebrated power;fastness i o n f de l e ' d r , uc l k h ee a , ve already received, w i t hi n the last few days, letters from neighbouring tribes, asking me to attach their territory to Sinde, to be under the British rule, and thus to be protected :from the pillage and misery in which they live. 2. The moral effect in Sinde will be to give confidence to the people (especially those bordering on the desert froritiet ), whose cries against the Government du r i ng the last summer, for not affording them protection against the robber tribes, were both frequent and just ; but the great heat at that time rendered it impossible to give them that protection. The ex ample now made of the robber tribes will show the people of Sinde that the Government has both the will and the power to protect them. The above results can hardly be denied. In conclusion, 1 have to observe, that the war lasted from the 16th January to the 9th of March, a period of fifty-two days. This was too long, but the robbers had stricken such terror into the cam -1 owners, that to get sufficiect carriage for our supplies was difficult in the extreme ; and if we had fallen back one march to meet our provisions, during our operations, the exultation among the robbers and all their allies would assuredly have been so sudden and so great, that I think it very doubtful whether we must not have retreated altogether, for cur camel men would have deserted, and enemies would have risen up in every direction. On one occasion we were so closely pressed by the scarcity of provisions, that I sent off the camel corps, under Lieute nant Fitzgerald, who reached Shahpoor in one march from the Jummuck Pass, making three marches in one, and then re turned the same distance with 43,000 pounds of provisions, thus doing, in two days and a night what a convoy of hired camels would take six days and six nights to perform, besides requiring a guard ; whereas the camel corps required no guard, the drivers being well armed with muskets. There could scarcely he a better specimen of the great power of this corps, even in its infancy. Had a baggage camel corps been formed, this campaign could easily have been concluded in thirty days. In the above forced march made by the camel corps, not one animal was lost, nor did any of them fail till during the last week, when, being obliged to make a forced march among these tremendous rocks, the corps lost fifteen animals; but this is not marching, it is climbing. To show the nature of the ground over which we have carried on our operations during the last three weeks, I have only to say that the robbers have been seen pulling their camels up precipices by ropes; and they probably knew the easiest p!aces of access. The campaign has convinced me of the necessity of a camel baggage corps being formed on a very extensive scale. With out that, the loss of camels will always be immense in the field, and the efficiency of the army liable to be paralysed at the most critical moment of the campaign.

Accounts have been received from the eastern colony of the Cape of Good Hope, to the 20th March. The guano at Ichaboe being quite exhausted, the Island of Malagus had become the resort of a large number of merchantmen, and which were said to be obtaining full freights. The Colonial Government had made something by granting licenses, but, as is justly remarked, would have got far more had it erected stages in the first instance at Ichaboe. Intelligence by several arrivals has been received from the Australian colonies, where the markets appeared to be improving, Omagh as Van Dieman's Land has been the last visited by reverses, so it seems also to be the latest in recovering. The accounts reach to the 4th February from Sydney, and the 6th January from Port Phillip. The latter colony was rapidly advancing, and there was ample employment for an access sion of labourers, many of whom were expected in fact from the less prosperous settlements. Some of the beef cured at Sydney had been sent to India to try its capability of standing the test of a voyage, and was received back in excellent condition. The colonists are san guine of packing their beef in a manner to secure a sale in England. There is a livelier market to-day for Public Securities, the result in a great measure of the arrangements for the settle ment of the six weeks' account. Prices are fluctuating, but it appears that good support is given to them in most instances. Consols have been 99 to 99 1 % for transfer, and 99 1 / 2 for the 18th July. Exchequer-bills have been 655. to 635., and India Bonds 725. to 695. premium. Bank Stock is worth 210 to 209 1 / 2 , and India Stock 280 to 279. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents have been 101 to 101 1 4, and the Three per Cents. 98 to 98 1 4. The Foreign Securities have been flat. Spanish, owing to the decline at Madrid since the reported misunderstanding with Rome, have been heavy here also, at 29 1 4 for the Five per Cents., and 41 1 / s fur the Three per Cents. Portuguse Converted have realised 66%, and. Brazilian 90. Mexican have been 37 to 36%. Dutch Two-and-a• Half per Cents. have been marked 633.( 3 . The old lines of Railway have in many instances improved again to-day, and seem to be preferred for investment, on ac count of the apparent improbability of many new lines being passed this year. The Foreign Shares are still heavy, com paratively to our own lines. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES. Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced 3 per Cent.

Last year, and for years antecedent, the administra tion of the Epsom •races was entrusted to Sir Gilbert Heathcote and Baron De Teissier, with Mr. Clark as judge ; the veteran, but almost worn-out " Joe Farrall " as clerk of the course, Mr. H. Dorling steward's clerk, and Mr. Perrin as starter. This ministry had no con nexion whatever with the Jockey Club. Racing men had, in consequence, for a considerable period argued, and their opinions were fortified by the notorious Blooms bury case, and by the untoward Running Rein affair of last year, that this isolation of the Epsom executive was defective in principle, and a meeting so likely to produce disputed questions, and to moot points of racing law, ought to be, like Ascot, connected with an associa tion, which, though far from having perfect laws or un objectionable methods of carrying them into effect, must still be regarded as the legislature of the Turf. This isolation, so long, and we think so justly impugned, has been got rid of, and, for the present and future, the Epsom meeting will be under the conjoint direction and control of the two local, and of those for the time being of the Jockey Club. Within the last twelve months other changes affecting Epsom have occurred. Mr. Farrall has quitted the course of this life, and the duties of the office he so long filled are now discharged by Mr. Henry Dorling. Mr. Perrin, in consequence of not having fulfilled satis factorily to all, the arAuous and very difficult appoint. ment of starter, has been displaced, and succeeded, both at Epsom and Newmarket, by Mr. W. Hibburd, clerk of Ascot Heath. Mr. Clark, we are pleased to find, still retains the office of judge, so long and ably filled by him. The races commenced yesterday with a meagre list, both as to the number and quality of the races it announced; for this no blame can with justice attach to the management, as the usual amount of stakes to be contended for was advertised, notwithstanding the de crease in the racing funds, caused by the extinction of gambling booths and tables. The list of races for the following days, exclusive of Derby and Oaks, contains the accustomed number of events, but the struggles for first places will, we fancy, cause but little excitement. We do not see the necessity for three secondary races following the almost universally interesting Derby, and we would suggest the withdrawal of one to be added to the first day. It would cause no hiatas to be regretted on the Wednesday, and would stop a gap desirable to be filled on the Tuesday. The weather was delightful, exactly suited for the enjoyment of out- of-door sports. At six o'clock in the morning the sun broke through a misty atmosphere, and shone steadily and serenely, its brilliuncy being softened by fleecy clouds, and its sultriness by a moderately blow. ing north-east wind throughout the day. The company was not numerous, for the celebration of her Majesty's birth-day by a Drawing-room retained most of th:, haut ton in town ; and the paucity of the day's races at tracted very few of the human fractions that compose the metropolitan million and a half. This day will compensate for these drawbacks, and should the weather be as fine, and there is every appearance that it will, the Derby meeting of 1845 will be one of the most nu merous that an attendance of more than a quarter of a century shall enable us to record. We hope for the pleasure of speaking flatteringly of it, and pending its eventful circumstances, shall detail briefly the very mo derate sport provided for the opening day : The Craven Stakes of 10 sovs. each; for three yrs old, 6st 81b • four, Bst 101 b ; five, 9st 41b ; s i x an d age d , 9st 101 b. Craven Course. (8 Subq.) Lord Chesterfield's Knight of the Whistle, aged 1 Colonel Cradock's Pagan, aged Mr. Ford's Attorney (carried 41b over), aged 3 The following also started, but were not placed:—Sir G.

Betting-7 to 4 agst Crim Con, 3to 1 agst Knight of the Whistle, awl 6to 1 agst Evenus. Crim Con made running at a strong pace, followed by The Attorney, The Knight of the Whistle, Evenus, and Pagan, all keeping well together to the turn, where Evenus was beaten. The Attorney hero obtained the lead, which he kept to the road, and there gave way, and Crim Con having had enough of it, the Knight and Pagan singled themselves out, the former with a lead of nearly a length. At. the distance Pagan crept up, made his effort at the stand, and, after a close race home, was beaten by a neck. The Attorney a bad third. The effect of this running was to drive Idas back a shade, and to raise the hopes of the Jinglepot party, to what extent the quota tions on the Derby, given underneath, will show : The Woodcote Stakes of 10 sovs. each, with 50 added; fer two-years-old colts Bst 61b, and fillies Bst 31b.
