A Company is in course offormation by the local and canal interest for the purpose of carrying lorward t e proposed Manchest r and Nottingham, Erewash Valley, and Amber Gate Railway to Grantham via Bingham. This Railway will traverse a large and populous agricultural dis -teict, connecting it with the great coal and mineral geld of Derbyshire 'and Nottinghatnshire, and will offer the shortest practicable route from the Eastern Counties to Manchester, Liverpool, and Holyhead. Propopls will be made for uniting this Line with that already pro jected, called the Nottingham, Erewash Valley, Amber Gate, and Mane►.ester Railway, and of the Canal interests along the route of the ~rojectcd Railway. -'There is every reason to believe that the traffic will be abundant :and remunerative, whilst Its construction will be below the average cost. A preliminary survey of the Line has been made, and a Prospectus will shortly be issued, Communications on the subject may be addressed to Messrs. Ostler and SIMS Solicitors, (:rantham ; and Messrs. Percy, Smith, and Percy, Solicitors, .Nttingliam. Nottingham, r,ay 2, lti4s. LIPIRSTON, FURNESS, & LANCASTER and CARLISLE RAILWAY. (Registered ProTisionally.) LW'.

Ilawsthorme and Swainson, Lancaster, This undertaking, in connexion with the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway anti its tributaries, will bring the Important mineral, a„gri etaltural, anti grazing districts of Furness and West Cumberland (hl ithert, ter the most part Isolated) into immediate and direct commu nication with the manufacturing districts of Lancashire and York shire, and will form a continuous line of railway between the east awl west coasts, viz.: from Hull and the other neighbouring ports on The Baltic to Whitchaven - and the other ports on the Irish Sea, and At will afford the only safe and sure means of transit, irrespective of Aides, from the town and port of Ulverston with Lancashire north of Sands, to all other parts of England. The line is intended to diverge from the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, near Milnthorpe, which, admitting of a near approach to the foot of the Likes of Winandermere and Coniston, may be deemed the most eligiide route to Ulverston. A preliminary survey has been made, and it has been ascertained ly the engineers that the line may be so constricted as not to affect injuriously the residences or ornamental property of the land - owners in the district. • A detailed prospectus, with the names of a Provisional Directory, will shortly be published, and in the meantime further information may be obtained from the sol.citors.

TO TILE EDITOR OF THE SUX am sad'' , pained to witness the display of bigotry and bad feeling which have been manifested by a large portion of the English public on the proposed grant to Maynooth, inasmuch as I believe it will have a tendency to destroy that favour and grace 'with which otherwise it might have been received by the Catholic population of Ireland, But if, Sir, you had had an opportunity of attending the various meetings held in the country on the subject, as I have, and had heard the manner in which the religious feelings and passions of the people have been appealed to and worked upon, you would not be surprised. I will give you one instance. A meeting was held in the Subscription Room at Exeter, on Tuesday last, to pass reso lutions against the grant. The meeting was opened by the Rev. Mr. Flocking of the Establishment, by reading a portion of the 'Word of God and prayer. He then addressed the meeting in one of the mo-t intolerant, bigoted, and, in my opinion, the most unchristian speeches I have ever heard. He told the meeting that the Roman Catholic priests of Ireland were at this day in the habit of grunting absolution to persons who confess.xl as to their intention to commit a crime, aye, even if that crime was murder, and that he was bound by his office not to warn the intended victim of his doom, though he met him in the street! Now, Mr. Editor, is this true?—if so, it is very awful. lam not myself, much read in these matters; in my heart and soul I believe It to be false, and if faire then what a base hypocrite have we here: a man who had so recently been engaged in reading the Word of God and in offering a prayer to the throne of Grace, who could put forth such a statement for the purpose of stirring tip ill-will and bad blood between his fellow creatures. A feeling specimen this of a minister of the Gospel of peace. But to the credit of the Establishment be it said, that I believe he was the only minister of it present. Next came the Rev. Mr. Cook (Wesleyan), whore portly s!ze and well.polished countenance showed at any rate that his religion was not one which made him eschew the good things of this world. He said he had read and heard a great deal about Pagans and idolaters, but he knew of no idolatry half so bad as that practised by the Pa pists. It was true, h.j said, the Pagans did make gods with their own hands, and afterwards fell down and worshipped them ; but then they paid some respect to them and took care of them; but as to the Papists, after they had made Their gods they put them into their mouths and ate them. Thus did this low-minded, vulgar man allude to the doctrine of the Eucharist. Can he tell us when the innovation of the real presence took place in the history of the Church? Would he knock down everything that he cannot square to his reason, if so, what would he have left to base his Christianity upon ? But I tire you, Mr. Eititsr. Suffice it to say, that every appeal to the bad passions of men, everything that was likely to stir up religious hatred and bigotry, here found vent, and from these divines who are quarrelling with the Roman Catholic priests for their participation in agita tion Ido sincerely hope, Mr. Editor, that when the sober-minded people. of England begin to reflect, and reflect they will, if you will give them time, they will see that this Is but a very small boon for the wrongs which Catholic Ireland had received from Protestant England.— I beg to subscribe myself, Mr. Editor, your great admirer and constant reader, and Langford, May 2, 1845. NO BIGOT. P.S. The local papers will corroborate what I have here stated. THE MAYNOOTH COLLEGE BILL. To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stu,—Considering the public Dress as the legitimate channel of reply to printed circulars, I take the liberty of committing to your columns the following letter.--I have the honour to be, Sir. your obedient servant, E. TIGHE GREGORY, D.D , LL.D., Rector and Vicar of Edmore. TO CULLING E. SMITH AND JAMES LORD, ESQRS. Gentlemen,-1 have the honour of acknowledging the receipt of your circular, as Chairman and Secretary of the Executive Committee formed to oppose the Maynooth College Bill, as you are pleased to term the measure nom occupying so much of the public time. I entirely agree with you that " this is no common crisis," but dissent from the position that "we," i, e. the Committee with which you act, "are fighting anew the battle of the Reformation;" that brother Protestants are bound to " give you their confidence and co-cp.ration ; that the policy pursued in this measure by Go vernment is alike subversive of truth and justice ; or that expedi ency Is necessarily opposed to principle." It is certainly no common crisis when the " Church militant," the Establishment and Dissenters, unite tinder the same leaders, form one holy league and covenant, and re-echo the seine war. whoop; still less so when the " battle of the reformation" is to be a contest, not for the extinction of bigotry, but, contrary to that Re formation's intent and principles, for its perpetuation. I humbly conceive that " brother Protestants" are bound to " co-operate" in furthering the great attempt that "righteousness and peace may kiss ea,:h other," and realising the injunction to promote " peace on earth, gond-will towards men," enlarge the circle, too long con tracted, of Christian charity, and diffuse that more liberal education which o'crleaps the narrow mind, softens asperities, and prostrates persecutian ; such is the policy pursued in this measure by Govern ment, marked out by, not subversive of, truth and justice, and re. conciling expediency with principle! Like the Irish National Education System, a great attempt to improve and propitiate, and, like it, meting with all the opposition which every new design, even Christianity itself, has unif orm l y encountered from pride, pre. judice, interest, ignorance, aad misconception. The education question has, indeed, had some tardy converts of late, who no longer con s id er pr i nciple and expediency irrecencil. able; and if the Premier's views are realised, a more quiet, or. duly, and moral population will spring up under the guidance of an hig' er grade of Roman Cath o li c Clergy, more enlightened b ecause more educated. If the altar ceases to be a platform, and the pulpit a rostrum, the same consequences will follow the testing of the present measure, and its opponents become proselytes likewise to a moral expi diency. Thoee, I trust, will be its consequences, and with this persuasion I can neither conscientiously fore and your views, or unite in a factious opposition to the Government ; • tit, independent of those reasons, I conceive the clergy out of place in political discussions, which much impair their usefulnest, and desecrate their sacred calling; and I would obserse that many ef my Rev. Brethren who, i n Exeter Hall, widen the breach between Protestant and Catholic, would le more usefully, as well as more legitimately employed in their respective parishes by silently forwarding the work of con. veision through the unostentatious means of " letting their light so shine before men that they may see their good works, and glorify our Father which art in heaven." It is needles to add that in the parish ot Kilmore I shall ' as I have ever done, pursue the sam e course I pursued when adminis ter rig that of H.,rstanton, in Norfolk, for my sun, namely dis coun'enancing any attempt at the introduction of such a p e ti t i on the forming of any deputation to overaw e t h e Go. as you require; vertirnent, or, generally, any measure tending to narrow the charities of the Gospel.—l have the honour to be, Gentlemen, yotzr cbedient humble servant E.

O":LYX, 11.111 t, SECOND EDITION. Ottening 'A:tatt LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1845. The House of Lords met at Five o'clock. After several petitions had been presented, The Duke of BUCKINGHAN drew the attention of the House to the case of the Chaplain of Aylesbury Gaol, who had refused to deliver up to the Magistrates the written confession confided to him by the murderer TAWELL. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, that no clergyman had any right to make disclosures of what had been confided to him in confession, unless in cases of high treason, or where the life of the clergyman hiniself was in danger. After a few words from the Bishop of EXETER, Lord STANLEY said, that as the publication of the con• fession could not further the ends of public justice, the Chaplain had a right to use his own discretion. Lord BROUGHAM thought that the Chaplain had exer cised a judicious discretion. The Marquis of NORMANBY hoped the Secretary of State would exercise his power, for the future, to pre vent the publication of such blasphemous and disgusting letters as those which had been published as having been addressed by JIOcKER to two unfortunate females. Lord DEN.MAN considered that the public ought to be perfectly satisfied with the verdict that had been de livered in TAWELL'S case. He thought his confession a matter of no moment, and did not see that any one had a right to call for the production of any communication that had been made to the Chaplain. Lord STANLEY promised to inquire into the matter. The Earl of .Powys then moved the second reading of the Bill for repealing the law for the union of the dioceses of St. Asaph and Bangor, and for creating a new bishopric, viz. Manchester. The Duke of WELLINGTON opposed the motion. The dioceses when united would not be so large as many of the existing dioceses, and he could not un derstand why one Right Rt.v. Prelate could not dis charge those duties which another Right Rev. Prelate, whose diocese happened to be in a different part of the country, discharged efficiently. A long debate cnsued, in the course of which their Lordships were addressed by the Bishop of BANGOR, the Earl Of WINCIIILSEA,! Lord MONTEAGLE, the Bishop of SALISBURY, Lord STANLEY, and other Noble Lords ; and ultimately, on a division, the Bill was re jected by a majority of 32. The Commons met at at Four o'clock. After the transaction of private business, and the pre sensation of petitions, Sir B. PEEL stated, in answer to Mr. LA BOUCHERE, that no official information had been received of the in tention of the Brazilian Government to impose an addi tional duty of 20 per cent. on English cotton goods, until the additional duty imposed on the importation of Bra zilian sugar into this country should be removed. The Right Hon. Baronet alo stated that he hoped to move the second reading of the Scotch and Irish Bank Bill, and of the Scotch Poor-law Bill, before the holidays. Mr. MANGLES, is presenting a petition on the subject of the Puseyite him in the Church of England, asked if it was the intention of the Government to interfere in the matter. Sir R. PEEL was not prepared to give any assurance on the subject. Mr. MACKINNON postponed his motion on the subject of interments in towns, as he understood that the Go• rerement was about to intreducs some measure on the subject. On the order of the day being read for the House going into Committee on the Maynooth Bill, Mr. HINDLEY moved, as an amendment, that the Speaker do not leave the chair. This amendment, from the manner in which it was worded, produced much laughter. Colonel SIBTRORP, in seconding the amendment, said that the Prime Minister had taken in and deceived his supporters, and that for himself he had no confidence in any party, and no hopes for the safety or honour of the etuntry. Mr. PLUBIPTEE supported the amendment. The House was subsequently addressed by COl. VER NER, Mr. REDINGTON, Sir R. PEEL, who denied that the Protestants of Ireland were opposed to the measure, Lord J. RUSSELL, Sir R. INGI.Is, and Sir H. BROOKE ; and on a division the motion was rejected by a m Ijority of 108, the numbers being, for going into Committee 160, and for Mr. Hindley's amendment 52. The House then went into Committee on the Bill. Several of the clauses were agreed to without a division. On the 4th clause, Sir JOHN HANDIER moved the omission of the words which limit the trustees of May nooth College in taking any real property with which it may be desired voluntarily to endow them. After some discussion the amendment was withdrawn. Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN proposed an amendment on clause 2, which upon a division was negatived by 69. Sir J. GRAHAM next proposed an alteration in clause 4, relativ., to the salaries of the officers of the Col lege, which was agreed to. Several other c'auses were then passed without altera tion, and fin illy the report was brought up, and ordered to be received on Monday. The House adjourned at Twelve o'Clock. We have received numerous letters on the Maynooth Grant, chiefly from the provinces, which are of a very gratifying character, as they show a spirit of Christian charity, and a wish to sink that bitter re ligious animosity which has caused such dire calamities in Europe. In Ireland particularly, this humane spirit pervades the great body of Protestants. The Presbyterians of the North have taken no part in the agitation against the Catholic reli gion; the Established Church of that country has exhi bited the same forbeaTing disposition; and, indeed, from all classes professing the Reformed in Ireland, we hear of no opposition, but very generally a cordial acquiescence in this measure of justice and mercy. The principal landowners of the county of Galway, without distinction of creed or party, have put forth a declaration, in which they ex press much satisfaction at the proposal of her MAJEserv's Government. Their words are remarkable: —" We feel that measures thus tending to improve the social posi tion of the Roman Catholic priesthood will accelerate the growth of that mutual forbearance, and of that charity in politics, which have been of late springing up amongst all parties in Ireland." We have given also, in anether part of the paper, an excellent letter from an Irish Protestant clergyman to the same effect. New these numerous testimonies in favour of this much calumniated scheme ought to be allowed great weight in deciding the question. Ignorance and want of intercourse among different nations, it is allowed on all hands, are the fruitful sources of wars and national antipathies. how much has the long-continued peace in Europe been promoted by the knowledge which foreigners have acquired here of our customs and manners, and by the reciprocal knowledge which obstinate and conceited Englishmen, vain of their country, have received from their visits to the continen►, and especially to a nation which ignorant malevolence has pronounced to be our natural enemy? There are no natural enemies, except those which the wickedness of mankind, and, above all, their blind jealousy and unmeaning antipathies create for one another. If the Protestants and Catholics of Ireland believe that t i.ntit l nhh i l e elem y tuta c r a l. n live at peace in the same community—if they wish to associate together, to bear with mutual faults and marriage, i blessings e rrorsag e e , a of t andn commandsv faith—ifChr i st i anah they ccahur cotat ht, inculcated br obeying ourg andurt ho uses ,th e se displaying Etas ve r e ci oo g nu i da l nf "To love thy neighbour as thyself," what atrocious wickedness it is to rake up the embers of religious discord and throw a firebrand among men who live together in unity l But the good sense of Englishmen, their love of justice, and their compassion also for the wrongs and the sufferings of a people so long united with them, will not suffer this iniquity to prevail. The still small voice of wisdom begins already to be heard, and the firm determination of the Legislature— the admirable speeches made by every statesman in the Commons' House of Parliament, and the wise re solution of the clergy of the Established Church to give the experiment a fair trial—leave no doubt now as to the ultimate success of the measure. The great re gret is that the opposition has diminished to a great extent the benefits which it was calcu lated to produce, and has excited a feeling of bitter anger on the part of the Catholics against a nu merous class of Protestants hitherto regarded as their friends. But that in time will disappear and the peace makers will yet reap the fruits of their labours. We cordially concur in the following sentiments expressed by the reverend divine whose letter appears in another part of this journal : " I humbly conceive that ' brother Protestants' are bound to co-operato' in furthering the great attempt that 'righte ousness and peace may kiss each other,' and realising the in• junction to promote peace on earth, good-s% ill towards men,' enlarge the circle, too long contracted, of Chriitian charity, and diffuse that more liberal education which o'erleaps the narrow mind, softens asperities, and prostrates persecution." Madrid journals of the 25th ult. have been received, but they bring no news. Madrid Bourse on the Vith.—Three per Cents. for Account, 35 11-16 ; Five per Cents, for Account, 254. The French Chamber of Deputies have voted without opposition the sum of 44,000 f. as a compensation to English merchants for !osses caused them by the French blockade of the Gambia. When that affair had been disposed of, the grant of 440,000 f. for Oceania—the French settlements in the Pacific—was next peop,, ee d, and gave rise to some warm discussion. M. DE MALLE VILLE demanded some explanations on a statement in the journals, to the effect that Admiral IIA)IELIN had not been able to communicate with Queen POMARE, who, under the protection of an English frigate, bad retired to a small island, where she refused to receive the French officers. It was also said that the Government intended recalling Captain D'AUBIGNY, who was to obtain leave of absence for the benefit of his health. Admiral MAcxatr, the Minister of, Marine, said, "Admiral IlAmEere arrived atVaeite on the 22d of Dee., 1844. He bad sent home a d r t'spatch, dated Jan. 2, 1845. It stated that he had found the island perfectly tranquil, and that since June 30, the period of the last combat, no trouble or disturbance had taken place. It added that the natives occupied camps at some distance from each other, but that the communications were re-esta blished with Papeiti, and that everything tended to lead to the supposition that the restoration of friendly rela • tions were on the point of taking place. It had been agreed that Admiral HAMELIN should endeavour to open a communication with Queen PoMARE to induce her to return to the French establishments. She was at that period in a little island, and two officers were dispatched to her to deliver the letter to herself alone, a letter which he had written to her for that purpose. These officers did not succeed in seeing her, and they had returned with the letter. The Chamber would perceive that, ac cording to the instructions addressed to M. BRUAT, which he had just had the honour to lay before the House, in case the intercourse should not be renewed the course to be pursued was to call the chiefs together, and choose three amongst them to administer the affairs of the country." M. ODILLON BARROT said it appeared now that it was the French who were reduced to supplication. It was the officers of France who were compelled to run after the QUEEN to beseech her to resume her sovereignty. Such conduct was a dis grace to France. M. DE MALLEVILLE said that as the subject would again be alluded to on the discussion on the budget, he should now confine himself to the expres sion of his regret that the Government had not been better prepared to contradict the sad accounts which had come to their knowledge, and amidst considerable ex• citement in the Chamber the matter dropped. The Bill for converting the Four per Cent. Stock has been laid before a Committee of the Peers, and meets with decided opposition from a large majority of Members. At the last sitting 130 Peers attended, and of these more than 80 are hostile to the measure. On the Ist of May, the KING S fife, the Bourse was closed. THIS DAY'S NEWS. DREADFUL CATASTROPHE AT YARMOUTH. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) NORWICH, FRIDAY EVENING, EIGHT O'CLOCK —The most awful excitement pervades this city. A most dreadful accident has occurred at Yarmouth. Mr. Nelson, the clown, belonging to Mr. Cook's Circus, now at Yarmouth, announced the performance of being drawn by four geese in the North River. The suspension-bridge crosses this river, and about 518 people were on the bridge, when, horrible to relate, be tween five and six o'clock the bridge fell in. It is re ported that from 100 to 150 persons perished. The utmost consternation exists here; special trains have started; the telegraph is beset by hundreds anxious to obtain news of relatives and friends. The report is that already fifty-three persons have been picked out dead. It is thought many more are still in the river. The telegraph has worked admirably. Horatio Bolingbroke, Esq., one of the Directors of the Norwich and Yarmouth Railway, has personally superintended the telegraph, &c.; his kindness has been the theme of universal admiration. The bridge has been built about fourteen years. It was calculated to carry eighty tons. It has been more used lately since the railway opened.

The Kafir:: were quieter, and the prospects of the agriculturists were good. Steam navigation had not answered the expec tations formed of it, but like all similar enterprises, no doubt it would require time to establish it in public favour, and make it pay. There is nothing new from Natal. There was a slight change in the Bank of England's posi tion during the week to the 26th ult. The issue of notes, instead of being further reduced, were increased by 69,725/. The Rest was 24,9561. greater. The public deposits were only 2,643,448/, or less by 574,902/. The other deposits were 749,6301. less. The other securities were 973,813/. less, and the bullion 43,0i8L less. There has been to-day a heavy market for the public Securities. Consols have been 98% to 98 3 4 for the first transfer-day next week, and about 9834 for Account. The illness of M. Guizot, and the expected news relative to the Oregan question excite still a doubtful feeling. The pre mium on Exchequer- bills has been 595. to 575. ; and on India Bonds, 725. Bank Stock has been done at 210% for Account ' • and India Stock is steadier at 278. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 100 1 ,4 to 100 3 / 4 . Spanish Stock is still very inactive, and the quotations are merely nominal. Portuguese Converted obtain 67% to 67%. Mexican are 38 to 37 3 / 4 . Dutch Four per Cents. are 97% to Al. There is a fair business doing in Railway Shares, but the quotations, in most instances, are rather flatter. From the position as respects the market price of the South-Eastern and North Kent shares, there would appear to he a good deal of anxiety touching the decision of Parliament.

Few provincial meetings have of late years made such rapid strides in popularity ,aiid 'Mtn-tense as the one held over the rhodee at Chester: The reason of it I attribute to the faet of " the sinews of war" being liberally and judi ciously applied, tor as where the Carrion lies, the Vultures congregate, so where stewards of races offer large prices, they may generally calculate oft hating plenty of horses. The forthcoming meeting commences on Tuesday anti ends on Friday. On the first day there are only two races down upon paper at present, viz., the Grosvenor Stakes, and a Pro duce Staked; the entries for the further Close tomorrow, and the latter hat three subscribers ; ;In all probability Sir B. Bulkeley's Queen Pomace will in it A Couple of plate races will complete the day's sport. On Wednesday the first. race in the list is a sweepstakes of 25 sues. for two years old, five furloegs, and seventeen subscribers. The only pub:ic runners in this race are, Princess Alice, Staircase, and Mr. Mansfield. From the forte in which the Goodwood team are in this season, and the manner in which Princess Ante won at Bath, Ido not see what is to beat her. To the Cup there are 123 subscribers, 52 of whom declared, leaving, there fore, 71 horses to the attention of the betting men. Last year there were 94 subscribers to this race, with 65 accept. ances, and 26 starters. But although the subscribers and the acceptances are more numerous, yet from the unprece dented severe weather in the early part of the season ren dering it a task of the utmost difficulty to prepare horses, I doubt whether there will be so large a field. The interest this race excites in the sporting world is immense. Three or four years ago it was rarely if ever mentioned at Hyde Parkseotheri ants nose it has divided With the Derby the attention of the betting men there, and more money pro bably is depending upon its result than upon that of the Epsom event. Up to the present time upwards of 30 horses have been backed at prices varying from 100 to 5 to 1. With your permission, I will examine the pretensions of these candidates to public favour. Foig-a-ballagh the handicapper seemed to think had won quite enough money for his owner last year, and therefore he assigned him 9st 21b., which will I fancy answer all the ends intended. This game animal bag been backed occasionally at 50 to 1. Mr. Hess.eltine's Fitzallen, who now occupies the proud posi tion of first favourite, is apparently the representative of the stable, and from being considered so, his friends will strive all in their power to keep him ie his place. He is a bay colt, by the Sadler. out of Ellen, and half-brother to Fitzroy, whose performances are well known to my readers. Fitz allea made his debtit at Newcastle in the Tyro Stakes, for which he Was easily beaten by Mr. Ramsay's Midlothian ' and he has not run since, although in such able hands, I cannot fancy, with five stone on his back, he can go and beat old horses, whose speed is well knee n. Lord Eglinton's Aristides has been speculated upon quietly to some extent. He is a horse possessed of great speed, but his legs are in such a queer state, and his temper so uncertain, that it is dangerous to stand much on him. Should Fobert bring him to the post all right, with his temper undisturbed, I expect he will run very forward. Mr. \V. Scott's Cataract has been more heavily supported than any horse in the race, and a week ago his friends took as little as 5 to 1 about him. He is by Hornsea, who ran second to the Queen of Trumps for the Leger, out of Oxygen, who beat a field of twenty for the Oaks in 1831. He is now five years of age, and carries 6st. 101 b. Last year he won a 501. Plate at the Newmarket Craven Meet ing, beating six rips; and afterwards ran second to the Devil-to-Pay at Gorhambury, for the Gorhambury Stakes, giving him 341 b. for the year. I can see nothing in these performances to warrant his occupying the position he does in the market. When I con sider too how often he has disappointed his backers, the recent absurd speculations of his owner, and the disad vantage under which lie labours from having been used as a sire, I think this Cataract will overwhelm nobody but his backers. Counsellor, the best cocktail in England, and winner of 14 races last year. v ith Bst. 211'., in such company as he will meet here, can have no earthly chance. His price is now 30 to 1. Mr. Jaques's Semiseria has a host of admirers, who think her chance of winning this Cup so strong, that they will take as little as 7to 1 about it. Sue must be con sidered to be very well in with 7st. 81b., but as she has never yet evinced a capability of being able to stay a distance, and possessing merely great speed for a mile, or a mile arid a half, I cannot. fancy but what she will find the course too long for her. Her match last year with Extempore must not be taken in question, as she was Much amiss at the time. Mr. Osbaldeston's Sorella, 4 yrs, 7st. 121 b., at 15 to 1, I consider a good investment. This mare ran extremely well last year, and had she not been a little "off" at the time, would in all probability have put the Oaks into the pocket of her spirited owner. Her winning the Queen's Plate this week, beating Vibration and two others, was a most creditable performance, and showed she was getting into her old form. I expect to see Sorella there or thereabouts at the finish. The Era is a game horse, with a fairish turn of speed. Last year he won the Northumber land Plate, at 7st. 11b., beating The Best of Three, and nine others; and ft Bowed up his success by winning, at Liver pool, the Liverpool Cup, at Bst., beating a field of sixteen, including Pager., Trueboy, Pompey, and Mickey Free. For the Goodwood Stakes, won by Franchise, The Era with Bst. 61b., was sixth, and would have been second to Alice for the Cup, had his jockey been aware there was any thing for the second horse. Looking therefore at his performances, I am of opinion, that although he will run a good horse, yet the weight will operate against him at the finish. Mr. A. Johnstone's Obscurity, who has for some time been struggling with Semiscria for the premiership, is reported to be the representative of Messrs. Dawson's stable, and likely to turn out a second Alice Hawthorn. From her having only won a plate at Richmond, the handicapper thought sst. 121 b. a sufficient weight for her to carry, and it certainly will not break her back. tut still her public run ning is not good enough for me to recommend her being backed, and if she does not get it place, I shall not be in the least surprised. Mr. Meiklani'sTrueboy by some is fancied to be the " real Simon Pure" of Dawson's stable, and has been quietly backed by men who ought to know something about him to win a large stake. I consider him a most useful horse, possessing stoutness, and speed of no ordinary kind. Last year he won five races at high weight and long distances ; and this year the way in which he defeated Portobello and Lightning at Catterick should not be lost sight of. Mr. Cuthbert's Queen of the Tyne, 6 yrs, 7st. 51b., will, if in her last year's form, I fancy run exceedingly well. Mr. Gully's St. Lawrence is a good deal fancied by some; yet, from his running at Bath last week, I cannot imagine he will have much chance, unless ' which is very improbable, the race is run at a slow pace. Lord George Bentinck's Pug, upon whom so many small investments have been laid out, in spite of her defeat for the 1,000 guineas by Estslle (sub sequently beaten by Lord Chesterfield's Poor Soldier), having only 4st. 81b. on her back, coupled with the ad vantage of being trained round a circular course, and of Young Kitchener to guide her, will beat many more than beat her. Had she not been run against in the Somersetsbire Stakes I believe she would have won them. As it was, she run very game. Of the Irish lot, the only one, I think, that will put in an appearance, is Ould Ireland. I understaad lie is a slashing colt, well able to stay a distance, and has been " tried" and not found wanting. His running at the Curragh the week before last was excellent, and if he does not suffer front the change of climate which Irish horses do sometimes, will, I think, be very likely to catch the judge's eye first. Portrait, with 6st. 1011 e, is entrusted with some small sums by the admirers of Isaac Day. He was always a slow horse and had great difficulty in beating moderate platers—how Leis to win such a race as the Chester Cup, unless his speed has increased with his years, I am at a loss to imagine. The Dean is turned loose with 6st. 61b., but he is about as old and slow as any of his namesakes; therefore I should not recommend any of my readers to take the tempting odds that may be had against him. From Winesour's position in the market, I doubt much whether he will go unless to take care of Fitzallen. Intrepid I shall only notice because Agrippa's ghost has prophecied he will be the winner of this rich stake. All I know of hint is that he is a four-year-old cocktail leather plater, and although dangerous in such places as Stombridge and Sandbaeh, 3et with 6st. 61b. he has no chance at Cheater with such high company. I have touched upon all the horses nearly that have been speculated upon, and although it is difficult out of so large a field to pick a winner, yet 1 fancy the owners of Sorella, Trueboy, Ould Ireland, and Queen of the Tyne are the most likely to pocket the Chester Cup for 1845. TELEGRAPH. SURREY ZOO4oGICAL LARDENS. (THIS DA Y .) GRAND MODELLED REPRESENTATION OF EDINBURGH. We were this day admitted to a private view of the colossal Pictorial model of the City of Edinburgh. This subject was suggested to Mr. Tyler, the enterprisirg lessee, by his Royal Highness Prince Albert. Mr. Tyler at once adopted the suggestion, dispatched Mr. Damon to Scotland to make sketches of Edinburgh and its vicinity, and during the whole of the recess Mr. Denson has been employed in the production of the present magnificent tableau. It is certainly his chef d'oeuvre. The magic of Danson's pencil is familiar to all those who have ever visited these gardens, but never has it produced anything so exqui. site as this modelled representation of Edinburgh. For accuracy of representation, for breadth and freedom of design, for natural colouring, it is unriva7leti. Every lover of art should see it, and seeing it, must admire. Whoever has visited " Auld Reekie" will at once recognise Scott's " ain ro. mantic town." 'I here we have it, the Old Town and the New ; the New Loch has resumed its ancient place; Arthur's Scat, Salisbury Cross, the Castle, Holyrood, all made classic by the mighty magician, " the Ariosto of the North"— there they are ; stand tor one minute, and contemplate the scene, and you will fancy yourself in the Mid.Lothian. See there the silver Firth wincing its way towards the sea, rod there the Bass Rock. It is Edinburgh itself. How magnificent will be the scene when this gigantic model is Blum'. natcd—when every house will hang out Its devices in variegated lights, rod fires will , blaze on the latter and on Arthur's Seat, and the Nelsen Co7umn will be illuminated as on the night of the day when the beloved " Queen of all the land " first set her foot on Scottish ground, We understand that Southby has beeti ri , r months employed in getting up a grand display DUC T ' d'artificc for the ()Marion. If the pyrotechnist does his part as well as the arUst, the present well be the most magnificent series offeks ever given at U ese far-famed gardens. iftY Or Nt-WS AND Public eptittott.
