At five o'clock last evening Mr. Bedford, the Coroner for the city of Westminster, and a jury of thirteen householders of St. George's, Hanover.squarc, assembled at the Rising Sun, Charles. street, Grosvenor-square, to investigate the circumstances con nected with the death of the four unfortunate persons whose bodies haft been discovered, and who lost their lives at the dreadful fire at Raggett's Hotel, Dover-street, Piccadilly, on the night of Mon. day last. The jury were impannellcd on the bodies of Mr. Willlnta Raggett, aged 62, Miss Anne Haggett, aged 37, Ann Jones. stied 28, and the body of a female unknown (supposed to be that of Mts. Round). Lord Huntingdon and several other members of the arlstccracy were present during the rroeeedings, which excited an Intense and painful degree Of interest. The bodies lay in shells in the dead. house in the rear of St. George's Workhouse, Moiu.street, and on being viewed by the jury presented a shocking spectacle. That of Mr. Raggett, sen., and the body supp ised to be that of Mrs. Round, were literally burnt to cinders, whilst that of Lerd Hunt. ingion's nurse, Mrs. Jones, and Miss Raggett, were eery much mutilated. Miss Elizabeth King was the first witness called, and appeared much affected whilst giving her evidence. Her left hand was Inund up in silk, and she had evidently been greatly burned about the face. She said I reside at No. 2, Ratslitre-parade, Bristol. Shortly after twelve o'clock on Monday evening last I was staying at Raggett's Hotel, with my brother and sister-in-law. We had a drawing-room and two bed-rooms. My sister had just left me to retire for the night, and I went to my bed-room to obtain a little water to make some liquorice tea. I procured the water, and re turned to the drawing-room, where I placed the water on the fire. In about two or three minutes I hoard a cracking noise, and I went to the drawinia.room door to see what it was, and I then saw the flames issuing from my bed-room door and over the door. I called " Fire, fire !" as loud as I was able, and one of the waiters, a man, came up the stairs and shouted fire also. My brother and sister then tame up to the room. I ran into the bed-room to get a blan. ket to throw on the fire. I found I could not, and I got much burned. I ran back to the drawing-room, and my brother and sister broke the window, and called out " Are," and " police." I persuaded them to come down the staircase, which the fire had not then reached. They had only their night clothes on, and were afraid to go, but I ran to the staircase to show them it was safe. I thought there was plenty of time to get down the staircase, but when I descended a step or two, the flames caught me and burnt me in several places. Two men,. * I believe, rushed upstairs past me at that time. When I go t down I begged the people to bring ladders to save my brother and sister, who were at the window. By the Coitoxra—There was no fire In the bed-room. I took a candle with me when I went in there, and brought it back again. I was caught hold of by two •r three men, and carried down stairs. I cannot exactly say the cause of the fire, but having been in the room so recently, and knowing there was no fire or candle there, I feared that it had been caused by my candle. My candle had no guard before it. To reach my bed-room I had to pass through a narrow passage, and the bed-room was very small. I had no reason for believing that any ohe had entered my bed4toom. There were some lucifer matches in the drawer of the wishing stand. I had not used any of them at that time. The bed curtains were of dimity, and a spark from the candle might have ignited them, but I cannot say it did se. I cannot say in what part of the room the flames commenced. They must have burst through the door, or the door was open whet► I heard the cracking noise. By the jury—There is no circumstance which loads me to bettevz ;hat a spar k from my candle ignited the bed curtains. Frances Henry Earl of Huntingdon exavained—l am residing at protein at No. 13, Hill.dtreet. On Monday night last I and my family were staying at Itagpett's Hotel. I had seen on Moo. day night to the French plays, and returned to the hotel, I think, about half-past twelve o'clock. I went to the drawing.reom, and just put my hat on the table, and was taking a chamber light to go into my bed-room, when I heard cries of fire. Lady Hunt ingdon and her mother, Mrs. Power, had just preceded me, and I was wishing Mrs. Power good night at the time. I think I can swear it was young Mr. Kaggett's voice I heard cry " fire," and " oh, my mother I" I then ran first up stairs to my child's room, and shook Mrs. Jones, the nurse, who was asleep. saying, " Jones, Jones, the house is on fire! give me the child." She said, " Wait, my Lord, ti.l I dress him ; the cold will be the death of him." 1 snatched the child from her and shook her again by the shoulder. exclaiming ,` Goad God; woman, the house is in flames. Follow me." I then rushed with hint down stairs, the whole of which were on fire. My eye-brows and the child's hair were singed off. I rushed into the street, and into Batt'a Hotel, who kindly threw their doors open to every one. I then found Lady Huntingdon and her mother in the street. My apartmeata were the opposite drawing.rooms to Mr. and Mrs. King's. After my wife was In safety, I went back to see for Jones, and then saw the fire escape being put up, but it was being done In a very bungling manner. The room where my son and Jones were was exactly over Miss King's bed-room, and whoa I tried to come out with my son the flames had reached its deaf, By the Foremae—l will not undertake to say there was neglect on the part of those who had charge of the tire-escape. but there appeared to be some difficulty in their getting it close enough to the house. The men appeared to be sober who had charge of the escape. E►idence resumed—About three o'clock a pollbentan informed me that a body of a female had been found in the rear of the hotel, and I went to see it. I have seen the same body at the workhouse, and I believe it to be that of Ann Jones, from ber having red hair, and being a married woman, and having a ring OR her finger. By the jury—l never saw a body of firemen and police do their duty on any occasion so effectively in any country in the world. Everything was done to save life and property. I have no idea from what part the flames first came. Where Ann Jones's body was found was immediately under the window of the room in which I had k 4 her on the second floor. It is my opinion she threw herself from the window, and was crushed by the fall rather than killed by the fire. Mr. Frederick William Raggett examined--I am the son of the deceased Mr. William Haggett, late proprietor of Rogett's Hotel, in Dover-street. I acted as head.waiter arid manager of the hotel for my father. I was at home when the fire broke out. My father and sister retired to rest at eleven o'clock, and I was sitting up with the head waiter and cook for the Earl of Hunting. don and Mrs. Round, who had gone to the French plays ; the latter lady having ordered a roast fowl for supper at half-past twelve o'clock. Mrs. Round occupied a sitting-room and two ited-rooms on *e second floor, which are all connected with one another by doors. Mrs. Round and her daughter arrived home at twelve o'clock, and I took up the urn for making tea, and the fowl. She then ordered some dry toast, and asked to have the things left up there to Nave us trouble. On my return down stairs I saw flames rushing out of Miss King's bed-room, on the drawing-room floor, and heard the cry of " Fire." I instantly rushed to my mother's bed. room, she having been bed-ridden through a broken leg for three weeks. My mother slept on the second floor, and my brother fol lowed me and assisted her down the stairs, but the flames were so overpowering that we both fell with her. I was assisted then by some men, and we carried my mother to Batt's Hotel. I then re turned to see after the safety of my brother. I must here remark that when I saw the flames I called out " Fire, fire," loud enough to disturb every one in the house. On my going back to look for my brother, I found him on the ladder, bringing Miss Round down the escape. He went up again and brought down Miss Round's servant. My brother appeared mad, as he said he could rind neither his father nor his sister. Had the ire-escape been there in proper time, and the conductor not been drunk, it would have been properly placed, and I believe every soul might have been saved. Mr. Raggett here said, that although the house was insured for 2,0001., every vestige of property belonging to his father was de stroyed. The candles used were all patent candles, and a spark falling from them would not have ignited. Miss King's bed cur tains were of quilted dimity. He was of opinion, therefore, that the candle must, whilst Miss King was passing the bed, have come in contact with the curtains unknown to her. By the jury —It is my firm belief that the two bodies so much burned are those of my father and Mrs. Round, as they were seen together by Miss King, my father endeavouring to save her. on the staircase. There was a trap.door by which persons apuld escape to the roof. The housemaid, Mrs. Barnes, slept in a front room on the second floor, and, as I understand, these bodies were found in the back part of the premises, I should say that the female body Is that of Mrs. Round. _ . Tne Coaordzit, at this stage of the proceedings, remarked, that as there appeared to be considerable doubt as to the identity of the fourth body, whether it was that of the unfortunate lady. Mrs. Round, or Mrs. Barnes, the housemaid, perhaps it would be proper to adjourn the inquiry in order to set that matter at rest. Several persons who appeared to be interested in the Fire Escape Society here wished to tender evidence as to their MU ciency on the occasion, but the Coroner said it was irrelevant to the inquiry. A discussion then ensued amongst the Jury as to taking ftirtber evidence, when, in answer to the &ironer. Mr. Inspector Aggs stated that the hotel was being now shored up, and there was every probability of the other both.s being' dis. covered, if they were in the ruins, in the seurse of to-morrow (this day). The inquiry was then adjourned till Friday next.

This important line of railway will commence near the Midland Counties Station at Nottingham, whence, after crossing the navi gable River Trent, the line will proceed through or near Bridgeford, Holme, Ratcliffe, and. the intermediate villages, Bingham, Hot teeford, Whattes, Elton, the rich and fertile Vale of to the town of Grantham, thence passing through er near Folkingham and Bourn, or one of them, to Spalding, Long Sutton, autton-bridge, and King's Lynn,and there join Mg the intended Lynn East Dereham Railway, will form the most direct line of connexionbe and tween the Eastern Counties, and the great and populous manufac turing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, aid Staffordshire, by means of the projected Gruel Union Extension line to Amber Gate, add other lines north of Nottingham ; and by means of the line to Yarmouth will also form a communication betweett the Eaatera and Western coasts of the Kingdom. The Southern parts efLincolnshire, and the North Eastern parts of Cambridgeshire, will be afforded a direct facility of intercoarse with some of the beet markets in England. Tito neighbourhood of Nottingham being the most Emdern part of the Great Midland Coal Field, this Line will afford a supply of Coals, as well as being the medium of transit of Derbyshire Lime and Stone to the Agriculturists of South Lincolnshire, at a conside rably cheaper rate than by any other existing or projected Line ; in short, the vast mineral wealth of the Midland District will be ren dered available to the whole if the great agricultural country East of Nottingham. S u rveys are now in progress, and the nature of the country is known to offer no serious engineering difficulties, and a great portion ot the Line will be nearly a dead level. The consideration of an ex tension of the Line from Spalding or Long Sutton to Wlsheach, will also form a portion of the scheme. The Report if the Board of Trade en the Lines through Lineoln. skim 'aye : " The total coot attending the transmission of a quarter of wheat from the interior of Lincolnshire, by sea, from the port of Boston te Louden, including freight, insurance, lighterage, cemmiselen, and other charges, is stated to amount to very near Os. The charge by Railway per quarter (allowing five quarters to the ton, at the charge a 1 1 4 d. per ton, per mile, at which the estimate of the Cambridge and Lincela Railway is taken) would not exceed Ss., and the re maining charges are calculated not to exceed Ss. 6d., thus showing a benefit to the corn growers and to the public of 3a. Gd. per quarter, occasioned by t h e saving of the sums now paid for insurance, delay, loss in weight, depreciation of quality, lighterage, &a." " A still more important advantage to the Farmer is afforded by the opportunity given by railway communications of availing himself promptly of the most favourable market. It frequently happens that owing te tie delay and difficulty of tranemiselen, the Farmer is com pelled to stands wheat at the nearest provincial market at a price considerably below the average rate, and to lose the advalta,ge of a temporary rise." Whatever tends to equalise prices and to prevent excessive fluc tuations cannot but be considered as a benefit both to the product and the consumer. We are satisfied that much may be done in this way by an economical and well arranged System of railway com munication." The same remarks apply to the whole if the great maauttseurisg districts if Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Staffordshire. The great quantity of land, amounting to 100,000 acre', about te he redeemed from the sea by a company, with Sir John Rennie, as Engineer fir the promoters, and Mr. Rendel, for the Corporation of Lynn, must ultimately prove of great advantage to this under taking. And, it it is conceived, that the Grand Union Railway must Meet with the cordial co-operation of the Midland Railways, as an immense traf fi c will be brought along those lines en route to Binning barn, the Potteries, and the whole of the manufacturing districts of Staffordshire. The traffic epos the intended Nottingham and Mans- Sheffield and Newark, Manchester, Sheffield, and Midland Junc- ti el on d, , and the Sheffield and Manchester lines, must also derive a great increase of traffic from this line of railway.

At a meeting of traders and others, held at the London Tavern, on TuNEDAY, the 27th of May, 1845, to consider the pro priety of petitioning Parliament for an amendment of the Act abolish ing Imprisonment for Debt under 201., and for other improvements In the Law of Bankruptcy and Insolvency.

Hitherto the journalist in describing the Derby day had considerable latitude, and from his varied descrip tions one would be induced to think him übiquitous. He was like the "French falconer, flying at all he met," and all he did not meet. He painted, drawing no doubt upon his fancy and a good deal upon his experience, the appearances led the casualties of the different avenues leading to the course. He spoke of the crowds at the Elephant and Castle, the stoppages at Kennington-gate, the crash at Sutton, the multitudes that passed over the different London bridges,—he described four-in•hands, tandems, gigs, carts, vans, flies, go-carts, and all sorts of turn-oats, from the splendid equipages of the west, to the ricketty vehicles of the costermonger and knacker. He painted the long line of carriages and equestrians that moved along the old turnpike roads ; and he had to record the smashing of coach-pannels, the collision and locking in of wheels; splinter-bars splintered; the cut tings in and out of the line, upsets and runnings away, fractured bones, and th• insolence and extortion of the keepers. He had to mention troops of boarding-school boys drawn up in front of the various academies by the road-side, or mounted upon the play-ground walls, and young school-girls at the windows of their seminaries, admiring the splendid drags of the aristocracy, and the gaudy livery of postilions and out-riders, and laugh ing at and quizzing the multitude that passed by them in worn out stage-coaches, greengrocers' vans, shabby carts, or on foot. These amusit , pictures are fast fading away, for the rail-roads have already almost put an end to them, and by this time next year they will have re ceived a coup de grace from the completion of an atmos pheric railway from London to the town of Epsom. There can be no doubt that this great change will very much injure the inns, &c., on the old roads, but it must improve the Epsom races very much, making them more numerous, and yet more select. Many a tradesman, whom want of time has prevented from ever seeing the Derby run for, will, when the atmospheric railway shall have been completed, become a spectator of that event, particularly when he can do so, and be back to business in a couple of hours. The Derby speculations this year, though certainly materially affected by the growing importance of the Chester Cup, were heavy in legitimate betting ; and had it not been for the Old England and Weatherbit affair, recorded by us on Tuesday, there would have been little or no "nobbling" to complain of. Derby lotteries and sweeps wore numerous, but assuredly not so much so as they were last year ; for confidence in them was cooled by the Running Rein business, and by the dishonest and disgusting legal obstructions thrown last year in the way of payment of prizes. This year it is to be hoped the treasurers of the lotteries will feel that they have no excuse to make, and that they will pay, without demur, the drawers of the winning horse. Another sort of speculation—we might properly call it a mania —viz., that in railroads, has interfered with and diminished the Derby betting. We fancy it would be very difficult to decide which was the safer speculation. The meeting yesterday was a numerous one. Al though it rained—not very heavily, it is true—from dawn until a little before noon, the weather-wise pro phesied a fine day. They were right in their prediction —between eleven and twelve o'clock the rain ceased, and the sun shone pleasantly during the whole of the races, and, almost up to the very moment of the start ing, arrivals on the course continued to take place. When, at half-past two, the bell for saddling rang, the course presented an animated and thronged appearance, the coup d'xil from the Grand Stand might have chal lenged comparison with the best days of Epsom. The hill just in front of the Stand was crowned with booths, and its sides and base were covered with carriages crammed with occupants of either sex. Close by, on the eastern side of the winning stand, was a line of carriages twenty deep, and each side of the course, from its western extremity all round to, and beyond Tattenham-corner, and nearly up to the betting ring, was densely lined with all sorts of vehicles and every grade of spectator. We did not observe in any quarter symptoms of dread of dyspepsia. The Grand Stand was well filled with the rougher sex, but exhibited a la mentable minority of the fairer members of creation. No doubt the fatigues of the Drawing-room kept them away, and we hope to see them in health, beauty, and large numbers on Friday next, patronising by their pre sence the female equine contest for the Oaks. Our attention being so fully occupied with the racing occurrences of the day, we were unable to collect any thing like a tithe of the names of the distinguished persons present. A casual survey of the course, how ever, enabled us to select the following :—Duke of Beaufort, Lords Exeter, Normanby, Verulam, Wilton, Stradbroke, March, Chesterfield, Uxbridge, Cantilupe, Edward Russell, Macdonald, Levesen, Alfred Paget, Arthur Lennox, Duncannon, Spencer, G. Bentinck, G. Lennox, W. Powlett, Glasgow, Maidstone, Southamp ton, Miltoun, Glamis, Villiers, Rosalyn, llowth. llonourables, H. Pitt, G. Fitzroy, H. Roux, Col. Anson, H. Forester, Captain Spencer, E.

W. N. Johnstone, J. Stanley, S. Stanley, J. Mills, Shelley, Greville, J. Bayley, Bas tard, Jaques, Batson, Payne, Clive, 8. Graham. The chief race was fixed for half-past two o'clock, but punctuality in such an event is so difficult that it has never been attained. The difficulty was increased yesterday by the unprecedented number of horses brought to the post, no fewer in fact than 311—Besides three false starts, an accident happened to Alarm and his jockey, which de layed the final start at least a quarter of a hour. The Libel reared up, and striking at Alarm, bit Nat upon the wrist; this caused Alarm to plunge, and his rider being dislodged, he ran against the chains, and fell over; but immediately jumping up, he broke away towards Tattenham-corner ; being headed about midway, he made for the road leading into the bottom below the weighing-stand ; and after narrowly escaping another fall, was caught, taken back, and remounted. His leg was cut, and the jockey's arm much bruised, but not to the extent to prevent their taking part in the race. At about half-past three a good start was effected, and in a few brief moments the hopes and fears of the thousands who had breathlessly awaited the commencement of the struggle were set at rest. The " crack" was beaten dis gracefully, and a horse that was not even mentioned in the betting proved to the satisfaction of the unlearned in racing matters that the " knowing ones were done again 1" How they were done—and the oftener they are done in this way the. more they like it—the following details will show Colonel Cradoek's Jinglepot (Templeman) 0 Doke of Richmond's Laird o' Coekpeu ( Whitehouse) 0 Mr. Wreford's Worthies:, (J.

A good start was accomplished at the fourth attempt, Ides leading off, fr,tlowed by Salopian, Fuzbos, Cobweb colt, Wood Piger,n, Kedger, and Doleful, Pantasa and Merry Monarci, next, side by side, and behind them Mentor and P am, Annandale, and Old England lying in the centre. In this formation they ran at a good bat to the top of The hill, where Kedger and Doleful went to the front. and jointly carried on the running at an im proved_po ce, Pantasa aid the Merry Monarch next, with Wood P;ageon, Idas, Mentor. Pam, Old England, and Ai nandale in their wake. They cams thus to the turn, in rounding which Pam, owing, as it is alleged, to another horse hanging upon him, struck into Wood Pigeon's heels and fell ; Weatherbit, who was following, jumped over him, and, being put out of his stride, of course lost sortie ground. Doleful and Kedger kept their places to the distance, where the Merry Monarch went in front, followed by Annandale, Pantasa lying third, anti Old England in company with Doleful, Kedger, and Wood Pigeon. The run-ii was all in favour of the Merry Mo narch, Annandale, never getting nearer than his quar ters, and being finally defeated in clever style by a length. Old England came at the last, and beat Pantasa for third place by a neck. Annandale beating him by a length. Next to this lot were Wood Pigeon, Doleful, and Kedger, and behind him was the Crack (who was in trouble before he got to the road), and Adonis. How the next ruck came in we could not make out, but those who pinned their faith on the Stanton nag, The Libel, must have been not a little mortified to per eeive that he was the first horse beaten and the last at the winning-chair. The Laird o'Cockpen, the Coruniba colt, Worthless, Young Eclipse, The Black Prince, Cabin Boy, and several others. were beaten early. The pace was good all the way. Value of the stakes, 3,9751.

TILE OAKS. 4 to 1 agst Lord Chesterfield's Lady Wildsir—taken 4 to 1 agst Mr. Worthington's Lancashire Witch—taken SURRHY CUP.—VoI-au-Vent is declared not to start. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR.—I was fully prepared to see an outsider, and that one of Forth's lot, bowl all the cracks over easily. I mentioned in my prophecy of Monday last that it wens very likely that an outsider, named but twice in the betting in the early part of the season, and who had lately been in some request at long odds, and which outsider was the Merry Monarch, would do the trick. The favourite, to my astonishment, went very badly; Old England and Pantasa finished in front, and the other fancy nags were tolerably well up. On Friday the Oaks Stakes will bring a pretty field of about seventeen to the post, which will be the following: —Longitude, lUiss Elis, Heather Bell, Lady Wildair, Maid of Orleans, Agis, Sir Gilbert, Lancashire Witch, Hope, The Wreck, Glee, Fickle Will, Rose, Lcelia, Event, Stamp, Plaudit, and Miss Sarah. Rose of Cashmere and Refraction are very doubtful. Of these the Lancashire Witch and Maid of Orleans have been the best performers in public ; the former is a splendid animal, well put together, and in beautiful condition at the present time. The Maid of Orleans likeviise is a strong, well-made filly, and will doubtless be one of the first three. The little Lady Wildair, too, will be very near the mark, finishing in the front. Longitude is not to be despised; in my opinion this is the best of Kent's stable, who, by the by, is rather strong this year. To sum up in a few words, I expect to see the Lancashire Witch first, Lady Wildair second, Maid of Orleans or Longitude third. The Members' Plate will have either Seaweed or Bar ricade for winner; Montgomerie and Dalesman close up. The Derby and Oaks Stakes to either the Devil among-the-Tailors or Live-and-let• Live, with Wild Roe close up. I am, Sir, yours, &e., THE SPIRIT OF TILE TURF. Wednesday, Fire Pin.

Just before starting 1,500 to 100 was laid agst Forth's lot : but singly the winner was not mentioned. Mr. Gully declared to win with Old England. While speak ing of the betting, we should mention that, in the course of the morning, the parties referred to on Monday as having laid so heavily against Old England were called upon to stake, and were prepared with securities to the amount of eighteen or twenty thousand pounds. These were objected to, and it was then required that the whole of the money laid on Mr. Gully's account should be hedged at 20 to I—some points above the market price. This was done, and the matter fur the present is at rest ; we hear, however, that it will shortly come be fore the Jockey Club.
