In the House of Lords somerdsno busine3s was done. The m Earl of RADNOR . remarks on a pamphlet published under m the auspices of the est Pro-Corn-law League, which he described as th e discreditable publication that had ever emanated from the, press. The Duke of RICHMOND considered t he pamphlet t a most excellent p roduction, and said he ne ve r leave the Agr icultural Protection Society untilould w h had complet el y p ut down the Anti-Corn-law Leagu e, ey the most unconstitutional body that ever existed i H England. e considered the pamphlet as goo d a s his Noble Friend considered it bad. The House adjourned at Seven o'clock. In the Commons, after so me routine business, and the presentation of petitions, Sir R. PEEL laid on the table certain papers relative to the late events in Greece, and spoke in terms of admiration of the people of that country, who, under very critical cir cumstances, had established the i rinciples of free re presentative government combined with a limited monarchy. Mr. Fox MAULE gave notice that he would, on Tuesday next, call the attention of the house to pe • tations whit bie -- tests in Sc '- ii, ,Prea!nted relative to religious I rl" --- The n o in.A4itirr i : • :- House A `Ciu;:taifcf:l4: u then came on.

This ludicrous exit of the Tory Member for Knaresborough took the House by surprise. The discussion on his absurd charges, however, was con tinued. Mr. HOGG vindicated himself against an made some apt and stinging comments last night on the ultra-discreet conduct pursued by Lord ASHLEY as regards the Ten Hours' Factory question. " The Noble Lord," he observe 3, " was going to let the Bill slip through the House, until it was about being passed. Then, he would, as it were, take a flying shot at it. But as it was about to pass, when he went to discharge his second barrel at it, he would find that the game was gone. That would be the result of all the discussion that had taken place, and of the decision which the House had come to, that women and children should not work for more than ten hours. The operatives thought that his Lordship and the House had been trifling with their interests, and that the whole thirig was a delusion from beginning to end." Stung by the truth and force of these strictures, the usually bland and gentle advocate of humanity started up in a towering passion, remarking that he " thought the operatives of England were quite as fit judges of what was for their own good, as the Hon. Member for Finsbury; and he also thought that they had among them ten times more justice and ten times more candour than he could pride him self upon." The exasperated Nobleman then went on to read " three lines of a letter which he had re ceived that morning," which, he said, was written by authority of the Short-Time Committee of Lan cashire, and which approved of the course he had adopted, as being the best, under all the circumstances, that could have been taken. It is a remarkable circum stance, that whenever a Member of Parliament wishes to justify himself with the House or the country from any charges that may have been brought against him in his public capacity, he never fails to find a letter in his pocket, written by competent authority, and ap proving of all that he has said and done. What is more remarkable still, this exceedingly lucky and con venient epistle never fails to reach him on the very morning of the day appointed for his justification. We have observed this, not once but a hun dred times, and have often admired the considerate interposition of Providence in furnishing embarrassed Members with such epistolary Godsends as may tend to help them out of a scrape, just at the fitting sea son. The late Mr. HusKlssox used to be specially favoured in this way. Whenever he had a measure to bring forward which he thought might subject him to animadversion, he invariably contrived to find a letter in his coat-pocket, penned by some able, prac tical individual, who had devoted his whole life to the subject, upholding all his views, and insisting that hi s measure was the very identical measure which was most wanted at that particular crisis. Good men, it has been said, are always special favourites of Heaven; and this we suppose, is the reason why L ord ASHLEY, like Mr., HUSKISSON before him, has received, just in the nick of time, an official letter, whose avowed object is to absolve him-of all stains, and to show that, as respects the Factory Bill, be has acted with the prudence and sagacity of a SOLON. Doubtless this episto:ary white-wash will not be without its effect on the minds of many who have previously entertained doubts of the absolute wisdom of his Lordship's proceedings. But there are many, also, who will be apt to regard it in no other light than as as an ingenious ruse, got up for the sole purpose of helping the Noble Lord out of a dilemma. For our own part, were he to receive a dozen letters, instead of only one, approving of the course he has thought fit to pursue on the Ten Hours' measure, we should still continue to entertain pre cisely the same opinion that we now do, respecting thatcourse—still continue to think it tame, impolitic, and most shamefully acc,uiescent. Possessed, as he 'was, of the full confidence of the overtasked opera tives and their families —knowing, as he did, the great interest they attached to the measure which he, of his own accord, had brought forward in their behalf—see ing, as he could not fail to see, the great importance of even the half-victory he had already gained—Lord ASHLEY should not have yielded one inch of the vant age ground he had secured ; he should have clung with bull-dog tenacity to his resolution ;he should have fought the battle foot to foot, hand to hand; and if finally crushed, he should have been crushed in the attitude of dogged resistance, not of abject retreat. But, instead of adopting this bold, energetic line of conduct, which would have secured him the sympathy of his friends and the respect of his enemies, he has allowed himself to be scared by the very noise of his own creating ; and has let slip an opportunity, which may not occur again for years, of giving a decided impetus to the cause of the poor factory slaves. There is clearly nothing more to be done with the question in Parliament. The generous impulses of the House have given way to considerations of expe diency; Ministers havecarried—or are about to carry— their point in triumph ; and so long as they remain in power, it is vain to hope, for any remission in those hours of excessive labour, , which are now slowly and surely drawing hundreds of women and children to an untimely grave. Many factory operatives are living—vegetating rather—at this present moment who will be rotting in a workhouse cemetery long before the period when Lord ASHLEY makes his next humanity 'flourish in - the House of Commons. attack made on him by the Times, in the most success ful manner, and sat down amid loud cheers from all parts of the House. Sir JAMES GRAHAM briefly alluded to the imputa tions cast on himself, and left the matter to the judg ment of the House. Sir ROBERT PEEL advised the House to let some time elapse before they came to a decision, al any decision they might come to would be regarded as a precedent for future Parliaments. He therefore re commended the adjournment of the discussion. Lord Joax RUSSELL had no objection to the ad journment. At the same time, he had no hesitation in stating what was his impression, "With respect to the course which we are called upon to pur sue," said he, "in regard to the Ho nourable and Learned Gentleman the Mem ber for Beverley, I think that that course does not admit of any difficulty. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman had read from a newspaper an extract from a speech made by the Hon. Member for Knares borough. We have heard the Hon. Member for Knaresborough state that that report is correct. I think, therefore, with all due deference to other Hon. Members, and more especially to you, Sir, that if the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to morrow put in that newspaper, and has the passage read, that the House of Commons then come to a resolution to the effect that an Honourable Member of this House, mentioning, of course, the name of Mr. FERRAND, had acknow ledged himself to be the author of the speech pro duced, and that the House is of opinion that the charge contained in that speech against another Hon. Member of this House, is a false and calumnious charge.—(Cheers.) I, for one, am prepared to take that Course.—(Loud cheers.)" Lord STANLEY concurred in the view taken of the question by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and then denounced in strong terms the imputations made by Mr. FER RAND against some of the most Honourable Members of the House. He did not believe that in referring to the charge made against Sir JAMES GRAHAM or Mr. lIoGG there was the smallest difference or shade of difference of opinion - in the House. But more than that, he believed the Member who made these charges had not the slightest ground for believing they were true. This assertion was received with loud cheers. The SPEAKER said, there was no question before the House ; but if the House wished to come to any future determination on the subject, he would recommend that the newspapers which had been ad mitted by the Hon. Member for Knaresborough should be read by the clerk at the table, and then the House should consider what further was to be done. On this understanding, Members left the House almost empty, and the affair will again be brought on this afternoon. Whether Mr. FERRAND will attend is ler question. It is altogether a very un oward event. It is lamentable to see men who were the most ardent supporters of the Government but two years ago, now their most bit ter enemies; and it is disgraceful to see Englishmen denouncing the policy of Ministers, yet constantly voting with them. If affairs go on in this way the British Parliament will soon become as degraded as the Spanish Cortes. Mr. P. BORTHWICK, another staunch supporter of the Government, appropriately closed the ludicrous scene, by some wild motion about the convocation of the clergy. Neither Whig nor Tory would listen ,o him, and some humane Member moved that the [louse be counted ; and, on the SPEAKER announcing let only twenty-seven Members were present, the ouse adjourned at Seven o'clock. inc The power of the press, in checking abuses and exposing misconduct, was never shown in a more striking manner than in the case of Mr. FERRAND, in the House of Commons, last night. But, for the correct reports which industry and talent supply, Mr. FERRAND might have gone on, propagating lies, and-disseminating fasehoods—not possibly of his own making, but certainly, of his own imagining—without fear of being called to an account. Or, if called to an account, without any fear of being bound down to the very words that he uttered ; compelled to avow the speeches he made, and abide by his own oft-re peated assertions ; or eat his own words, and confess himself the speaker of that which had not the reality of truth. _ The columns of the press bore witness to the dicta of Mr. F E n RAN D—he could not flinch from them ; but he did flinch from vindicating them, and he slunk, abashed and ashamed, out of the House of Commons, where his presence was no longer wanted, and where it will require strong nerve if he be again seen. But for the public press of Great Britain, Mr. FERRAND might have gone on for years in the course he had adopted; and now by the circulation through every portion of the British empire of the exposure of his tricks, a lesson will be read to every man, not to depart from the strict line of rectitude, nor, for mere party pur poses, to deviate into the track of calumny and abuse• Accounts from Madrid of the 15th inst. state that preparations were in progress at Cadiz for the in vasion of Morocco, to avenge the death of a foreigner who acted at that place as Spanish Consul. The Castellano states that some Spanish commercial houses propose to effect a loan for the Government on more advantageous terms than those hitherto offered, but that the Minister of Finance is inclined to put it up for public competition. It is also said he has re ceived proposals from certain foreign capitalists for carrying his object into effect. We believe there is not a word of truth in this statement. Foreign capi talists know Spanish honour too well to trust their money to a Government which is not sanctioned by the Constitution, and every act of which would be disowned by the Cortes as soon as they were at liberty to act. The Cortes would act precisely as FER DINAND did, and refuse to acknowledge any loan made by BRAVO, NARvAEZ, and Co. The Three per Cents. were done at 361 for cash, and 374- at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 23i at 60 days. How are the mighty fallen ! Alas, that a reformed House of Commons should only be a bear-garden on a large scale, and that senators should show such plentiful lack of wisdom, as some of them now exhibit. The shade of GEORGE CANNING looks from Palace-yard in disgust upon the proceedings of an assembly which, if something be not done to purify it, will become a mere receptacle for spirits that can exist in no other atmosphere, and whose effervescence can .rind no other place for exhibition. Well may the rhymer exclaim— " Of old, when Pitt and Fox harangued, the herd Looked on, and voted, but ne'er spoke a word. Now, every whipster on some theme debates." And dilate as they may, speak as they choose, argufy if they can, but none of them ever did, none of them can, equal the trash which has been talked in that House, by men such as FERRAND, since the year 1840. In the French Chamber of Deputies, on Saturday, a lengthened discussion took place on numerous pe titions from certain Protestants in the South of France, in which they state, that in some districts the congregations are so small, that they have not the means to build churches, and therefore pray such an alteration of the - 29th artiAe of the Penal Code as would enable them to hold meetings in private houses. It appeared from the speeeches of the Members that the Government could grant a license for such a pur pose ; but as that was occasionally refused, from per sonal caprice, or some other cause, the parties claimed the interference of the Legislature in order that the law might be definitively settled. M. D. lIAUSSEVILLE, in presenting the petiticns, moved " that they be referred to the Minister of Justice and Public Worship." M. Duna.; moved the Order of the Day—in other words the rejection of the petitions, when two divisions took place, but the President could not decide which party had the majority. A ballot was taken, when the amendment of M. DUPIN was rejected by a majority of 18. M. MARTIN (du Nord), the Minister of Public Worship, promised to give the subject his beet at tention. - Did ever man listen to such effusions as those which benches, crowded with Tories, listened to and applauded, when first this chosen tool of Toryism opened upon that side of the House of Commons to put down Mr. CoBDEN and the free-traders ? Did any one ever hear such yells of delight, such frantic bursts of joy, as hailed each coarse, each vulgar attack upon every assailant of monopoly ? And was there ever a man, whose most ferocious speeches were greeted with such approbation as the Tory host bestowed upon Mr. FBRRAND in the first ses sion of this present Parliament ? He—the anni- hilator that was to be, of the Anti-Corn-law League—the destroyer of all free traders—the model, par excellence, of debaters ; and, shame be it spoken, the approved of Conservative statesmen ! The petted of the Treasury Bench—the guest of the Premier—the idol of the Tory mob—the adored of the leading journal of Europe, as the great regene rator of our institutions, the reformer of the poor laws, and the corrector of all domestic abuses. Such, if we might believe our eyes and ears, was Mr. FER RAND. This is what he was. Three years have passed —look at the report of the proceedings in the house of Commons last night, and see what he is. And yet Mr. FERRAND has not changed. lie re mains what he always was and always will be, a man of low mind, and of coarse feelings. The electors of Knaresborough sought to read a lesson to the House of Commons when they sent him, and they have done it. Toryism sought to use the tool sent to the House for its own party purpose, and Toryism has done it. Mr. FERRAND did not see the purpose for which he was sent; he mistook his vocation—he thought he was born for a senator ; it was only for a billsticker, or a whitewasher of walls, with large characters. He was an inn ocen t victim. He ought to be pitied, not condemned. The Tories, who se duced and deluded him, who patted hi m on the back, who called out as Winnum IV. wr o te, " G o lt • , .n. NTED are the parties really to blame. And, like all suc h double-faced gentry, they have their reward; they brought FERRAND into notice, they encouraged his madness —they now pay for their folly —they have sown the wind, and reap the whirlwind. Young England may boast its ferocious FERRAND, but Old England will look with a disdainful eye upon the employers of men who, though useful to a party at particular times, eternally disgrace any party that use them. The Three per Cents. were quoted at TORTONI'S, on Sunday, at 83f. 65c. The Moniteur publishes the following telegraphic dispatch : " MARSEILLES, APRIL 19. " The Queen of the two icilies was delivered, in the night of the 14th, of a Princess, who was held at the baptismal font by the Princess of Salerno, and received the names of Maria Clementina Immaculata." The Augsburg Gazette of the 16th inst. contains the following strange statement :—" The High Court of Appeal of the Duchy of Baden has condemned to imprisonment for one year a Captain MoLLEft, con victed of high treason towards the State. He hid corresponded in 1840 with General CUBIERES, the French Minister of War under the TIIIERS Adminis tration. In the correspondence which came out in evidence, Captain MOLLER offers the French Minister any information that may be useful to him in case of War, and assures him that a portion of the German troops are ready to make common cause with the French. General CUBIERES, in his answer to the offers made, says, 4 I thank you for the offers which you make of your services. They testify your attachment to France, and I do not doubt your sentiments in that respect: General CUBIERES'S letter is written on a sheet of paper, with the words 4 Ministere de la Guerre printed upon it."

The Cotton Market at Liverpool was firm yesterday Sales, 5,000 bales, of which speculators took 600 bales Ame rican, and exporters 400 bales. 300 Surat, 34d. to 41d. ; 100 Pernams, 50. to 6d. ; 50 Egyptian, 7d. to 74d. ; and the rest American, at 44d. to 54d. per lb. The transactions in Railway Shares were on a limited scale, except far Paris and Orleans, Paris and Rouen Manchester and Birmingham , which were much inquired after. Birmingham, Quarter, 224 ; Eastern Counties, 12 . 1 ; Great Western, 1121 ; Dublin and Cashel, 5 ; Birmingham, 228 ; .Manehester and Binning ham, 541; Paris and Orleans, 374 ; Paris and Rou e n , 374 ; South Eastern, 36. The return of the amounts of cheques passed through the 1 Clearing-house, to which the private bankers of the City of London have alone access, shows that in the year 1840 no less a sum than very nearly nine hundred and eighty millions was cleared. This is not a very large increase on the sum cleared by crossed cheques in the previous twelve ,months, and it may therefore, he inferred that the augmentation in trade and commerce had not, up to the termination of the last year, been very considerable. The present returns give the clearances of the three principal pri vate bankers, viz., for Messrs. Barclay and Co., 107,000,000/., for the ' Messrs. Slyner, 105,000,0001. ; . and for Messrs. Jones Loyd, 103,000,000/. Each of these firms have an immense discount, as well railway as other general business. Were the Joint-Stock Banks ad mitted to the Clearing-house, and the 'West-end Banks, it is calculated that, the_ amount of cheques that would have passed through must have been at least 250,000,000/. worth more. The mercantile accounts received from St. Petersburgh mention that much apprehension was entertained by the merchants 'connected with the trade to Pekin, that the direct intercourse now opened with the Chinese ports would most materially interfere with them. In fact, already it is stated, that the amount of manufactures sent annually over land from St. Petersburgh to Pekin, and other parts of the Celestial Empire had fallen off to some extent. As to the surplus of Tallow to be shipped off the river for England, no correct data had been 'formed. .

The English Funds 'wear a very firm appearance , and there has been no extraneous 'or speculative influence used to get them up, a moderate 'business only having been transacted.

At one o'clock the Lord Bishop of Winchester took the chair. The children of the schools were ranged in the orchestra, to the number of 100, and sung the hymns with much sweetness, exciting the deepest feelings oi - compassion among their hearers. The Right Rev.

The report stated many instances of good done both abroad and at home, and stated that the Institution. meeting. MELANCHOLY DEATH.—Mr. Edmund T. Clark, a student at the Charing-cross Hospital, has lost his life from the effects of an accidental puncture in one of his fingers while dissecting the bod y of a deceased person about three weeks since. The wound being slight, Mr. Clark took little notice of it at the time ;•but in a few days alarming symptoms were presented, inflammation rapidly increased, and notwith standing every effort of the medical skill of the institution, he gradually sunk, and finally death terminated his sufferings.

Exchequer Bills from Mr. Joseph Davis of the Stock Exchange, was re-examined- at the Mansion house. Mr. Borradaile and other mercantile men of eminence were present. Mr. Davis not pressing the case the prisoner was discharged on entering into his own recognizances to appear again when called on. A gentleman applied at the same office for advice under the followine . circumstances :—He stated that about a month ago he handed a bill of exchange for 1001: to a friend of his to get discounted; that his friend handed it to a person who was a clergyman of the Church of England, and repre sented himself as having control over large sums of money, on account of which representations the bill was entrusted to him, and that the address this money-agent gave proved to be incorrect, as the house was uninhabiLd, and the Rev. Gentleman was not known there. It was presumed, as he had broken several appointments, promising to give the cash for the bill, that he had obtained the money and misappropriated it. A summons was immediately issued. A young man, respectably dressed, was charged at Bow street with having committed a robbery to a large amount upon Mr. Henry Mason, a publisher, at Brighton.

THE IRISH STATE TRIALS (From the Morning Herald.) By en extraordinary express, we are enabled to lay before the public most important affidavits, sworn yesterday in Dub lin, by the town clerks of that city, Messrs. Archer and Dick inson, and of their chid clerk, Mr. "Magrath, in answer to Mr. Pierce Mahoney, who had sworn " That a gross, wilful, and corrupt suppression of the names of the said persons and others qualified to be placed on the Special Jurors' List for the year 1844, had taken place." And, in an affidavit filed 19th April, 1844, this gentleman further undertook positively to depose that " the omission of the names of several persons from said special jurors' list was not by accident, but was the effect and result qf design and contrivance, to prejudice the traversers." The affidavits of the Dublin town clerks, which we now present, rebut this charge of Mr. Pierce Mahoney in the most solemn manner, and cannot fail to remove from the mind-of even the most prejudiced person any impression that unfair means were resorted to in the matter of these jury lists about which we have heard so much. Nothing can be more clear or satisfactory than these replies of Messrs. Archer and Dickinson, and which are brought forth in consequence of a notice served on those gentlemen by the Crown solicitor, requiring them to answer the charges made against them by Mr. O'Connell and the other • con spirators. There was the greatest anxiety in Dublin to learn the purport of these 'affidavits, and all sorts of rumours were indulged in with reference to them. It was very gener ally reported that the town clerks would not file any affi davits in reply to the gross charges of the conspirators, but we are happy to remove every such impression, and to place the entire documents themselves in the hands of the public. It will be seen that these important affidavits at once de stroy the only hope the traversers could have had of sustain ing their motion for a new trial. LHere follow the affidavits referred to, which' fill more than three columns of the Herald, and abound with those endless repetitions, and unintelligible and involved sentences, for which documents of this kind are remarkable.] DEPARTURE OF TIIE DUCHESS OF KENT FOR GERMANY.—Her Royal Highness took her departure from town yesterday morning about nine o'clock for the Continent, proceeding to the terminus of the South Eastern Railway, and travelling to Dover by a special train.

The troops then went through the whole of the evolutions of a review-day, which occupied upwards of an hour, and when they dis mounted their guns and rested upon them, the Lieutenant- General went up to Lieutenant-Colonel Cobbe; and expressed his entire approbation of the whole lie had witnessed.

As the important moment for the public trial of the merits of the mysterious " crack" approached, the nervous excite ment of the speculating fraternity seemed to increase, and, as the countenance is the index to the mind, there was no difficulty in discovering those who had " got the boot on the wrong leg"—and from the immense odds laid against the animal in his early introduction to the betting (50 to 1), and this to an inconsiderable amount, the chance'of hedging was only to be effected " come what might" to a certain loss, suf ficiently extensive in itself to shake the nerves of the most resolute. The more the Buck was seen the more he was liked, although there were some who did not hesitate to speak of him in terms of unqualified disparage ment, and to give his rival Ratan a decided preference. These opinions were not, however, productive of any change in their positions, the Buck kept the lead, and on Monday not more than 2 to 1 were offered against him, while Ratan was backed by influential friends at 3to 1. At the reading of the list in the Rooms, 4 to 1 was laid on the Buck for the 2,000 Guineas Stakes, an additional evidence of the unshaken con fidence with which he was regarded. On Monday, as our list of Derby prices will have shown, a new favourite was introduced, which, according to some, was to give " the pre mier" some trouble—namely, Mr. Thornhill's Elemi, who, from 1,000 to 3, sprang in the course of the day to 1,000 to 30 (taken freely) for the Derby, while his chance for the 2,000 Guineas Stakes was not deemed altogether contemptible. In the interim " Honest John" was sensitively care ful of his nag, who was invisible, except to a select few, or to those who, " with the lark" were early on the Heath, where the Buck and the Wadastra colt took their exercise, under the especial surveillance of John himself. The continued favourable state of the weather, notwithstanding a threatened storm on Monday evening, together with the desire to obtain a peep at " the Ugly" customer, attracted an unusual amount of company, equalling in extent and re spectability that which was witnessed in Crucifix's year. Every lodging in the town was engaged, and horses and car riages of every description were at a premium. Some few had the good fortune to see the horse this morning, on his return from the Heath ; but such was his unpretend ing aspect, that few could withhold expressions of surprise at the formidable position he had ob. tamed. He is not, in fact, an attractive animal ; he stands over, and, when walking, gives the idea of in firmity ; and in truth, we understand, when a foal, was down twice. As the day advanced, the increasing bustle pro duced great animation in the town, and, long befot e the time for proceeding to the Heath, the throng in and about the Subscription-room was immense, embracing representatives of the racing community from all parts of the kingdom. The first race was appointed to come off at half-past one, by which time the assemblage near the termination of the Rowley mile, the finish of the first match, presented almost as large a congregation of carriages and horsemen as we have ever before witnessed, and these increased till the all-im portant event of the day came off. In the betting ring, which was not less numerously thronged, busi ness was brisk on the match, but the 2,000 Guineas Stake" was the great object of attraction, and on this the current odds were 3 to 1 and 7 to 2 on the Buck, taken to a large amount ; many, however, stood out for 4 to 1, and thus saved their money. Elemi was backed , freely at 6 to 1. We have, however, hereafter given the latest state of the odds ; and have only to remark here that the start produced the anticipated excitement, and that on the race itself, or rather on the character of the victory, "doctors differ." The Buck's friends asserting roundly that he did all that was re quired of him, while his enemies were as loud in their denun ciation of his claims to be looked upon as a "Derby horse." We must leave these matters, however, to be adjusted here • after, and must draw to , a close by simply stating that the weather throughout was as brilliant as the month of June, and that all classes seemed alike delighted with the quality and quantity of their sport. The following is the order in which the races were run : Match-Bst 71b each. R.M. 200, h ft. Mr. Greville's Jamaica Lord Exeter's Economy 5 to 2 on Jamaica, who won by half a length. Match—T,Y.C. 100, p.p. Mr. Payne's Audrey, 7st 131 b Mr. Osbaldeston's Escrick, Bst 71b 6 to 5 on Audrey ; won by a head.

Anson's Joe Lovell Mr. Wreford's c by Camel, out of Wadrasta Lord Exeter's Algernon, by Beiram—Agnes Mr. Thornhill's Elemi Mr. Mafram's Dr. Phillimore 7 to 2 on the Ugly Buck, and 11 to 2 against Elemi. The first start was '‘ no go ;" at the second all got fairly off, but in an instant the Devil .to-pay quitted his horses like a shot, and obtained a lead of four or five lengths, and followed by the Ugly Buck and Wadastra colt side by side—Dr. Phil limore and the ruck lying up. With a gridually diminish ing interval between the leader and his followers, they ran in the same order till near the btshes, by which time the Buck had reached the Devil-to-Pay's quarters; at the bushes he was alongside him, and in the run down the hill got his neck in front, and in this way was the rase continued and finished, the Back winning only by a neck cleverly, as some of his friends assert, but with marks on both sides that would lead to a very different opinion. Joe Lovell passed the Wadrasta colt at the bushes, and ran home a very bad third ; Wadrasta next ; Elemi, who never showed in front, fifth ; and Dr. Phil limore last. After the race 1000 to 500 was laid on Ratan against the Ugly Buck. Elemi, of course, went to right about. The Queen's Plate of 100 guineas for mares, 4 vrs, Bst 91b; 5 yrs, 9st 81b ; 6 and aged, 10st. 11. C.

SCOTT'S DERBY LOT. - We stated some time since that a difficulty had arisen as . to the time from which Bay Momus was to be considered as one of Scott's lot, one side claiming him from the time he became Scott's property; the other contending that he could only be included in bets laid subsequently to the publication of the lot in which his name appeared the first time, viz.,. after Doncaster races. To bring the matter to an issue it was referred to the Hon. Captain Rous and Mr. Greville, whose decision was given in writing this afternoon. The following is a copy of the case and opinion : " A. having betted B. 1,200 to 1,000 on Colonel Peel's and Mr. Crockford's lots against Scott's lot, on the last day of Warwick Races, 1843 ; the question is, whether Bay Momus is to be considered as having formed part of Scott's lot at that time. It appears that it has been the prac tice to publish lists of Scott's lot, supplied either by Scott himself, or some person connected with his stable ; that such list was so furnished and published soon after Epsom Races, 1843 ; and that this list has been the guide by which bets re lating to this lot have been made, the same having been tacitly, if not expressly, referred to. Bay Momus Was bred by Sir 'Patton Sykes, who is not one of Scott's regular masters, and who does not train horses at all. In July, 1843, Scott bought seven horses of Sir T. Sykes, of which Bay Momus was one. In August he took them to Mahon, not, as he stated, with the intention of training them, but intending to sell them again at Doncaster races. They were none of them put in training nor ever mounted, and no public notice was ever given that any addition had been made to Scott's lot. At Doncaster they were offered for sale, but not being purchased, Scott put Bay Momus into training, and shortly afte r furnished a - fresh list of his lot to Mr. Ruff, in which Bay Momus was (for the first time) included. This list was published, and from the period of that pub lication Bay Momus has been included in that lot by gene ral consent. We are of opinion that the case is one of con siderable difficulty and nicety, but that, on the whole, it is most consistent with a general principle of equity, and most conformable to the bona ,fide intentions at the time of the con tracting parties, to decide that Bay Momus did not constitute one of Scott's lot until he was actually put in training, and was returned by Scott himself (in the list which he gave) as forming one of his lot. We do not, however , mean to sa y that no bets what ever about Scott's lot, made antecedently to the publication of this list, should include that horse, because it may hayze become matter of notoriety that he was in the lot, and was in training, or going into training, either during the Don- CIIESTER caster week, or shortly after it ; bets -ma hank which there was ,a complete understanlMg ottkoth sines i r tic h Bay 11.16 mus had become one of Scott's bets, if there are any, our decision , must not be consaci to apply." • , _ COURT CIRCULAR. her Her Royal Highness the Duchess o f Kent leQkrehe departure yesterday morning for the Continent. -1-PO, Queen and Prince Albert, and their Majesties the' t and Queen of the Belgians arrived at her Royal ness's residence, Clarence House , St. James's, sherVe before nine o'clock from Buckingh am Palace, t° te tre ss leave of their illustrious relative.
