SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM RACES.—YESTERDAY. Epsom Races commenced yesterday, and a duller commencement we Inver witnessed. The meeting was an extremely thin one, confined solely to those peculiarly interested in horse rtcing. The stakes run for were of I small value, and roil of excitement, and the betting on I them scarcely worth recording. A favourable change in the weather was perceptible in the morning. The north wind, that blew so keenly for the last three or foar days ) was stiperteded by a mild south=eastern breeze. A i'exe early showers fell, and towards noon the clouds cleared away, and then succeeded a sunny and genial afternoon; the rain vas barely sufficient to lay the dust, and the course remained as hard as wood pavement. The great feature of the day was the Notice from the Police Commissioners that the gamblng booths were to be put down, and the persons connected with them, or playing in them, taken into custody. In consequence of this notice, so suddenly issued, and which, certainly, ought to have been promulgated before parties had taken and paid for the ground on which they were erected, the utmost dissatisfaction was manifested by the members of the gambling fraternity. This deter mination to put down gambling on race-courses will, according to some, considerably diminish racing funds, and, in consequence, plates and prizes to be run for must decrease in number and value. There are others who think that its suppressica will not eventually prove injurious to the true interests of the Turf, inasmuch as the parties who manage these funds never can have wished to see them augmented from such impure sources ; and there is a prevalent feeling among the right-minded that the cleaner the course is swept of all impurities, the more liberally will its sports be supported by the honour able patrons of horse-racing. The booths were closed yesterday, tusekno play carried on in. them, but it is re ported, we are pretty confident erroneously, that they will be opened this day (Wednesday), and that resist ance on the part of those connected with them will be offered to the police. To prevent any foolish attempt of the sort, in addition to the police already on the ground, there will be sent to-day a reinforcement of 500 con stables. The arrangements on the course were the same as usual, with the exception of a new mode adopted for denominating the first and second horses. The telegraph declares the winning horse by exhibiting the figure placed before his name in the printed list, and the second horse by showing the letter similarly placed in the list. The method is simple, but the letters yes terday were too small to be visible at any reasonable-dis tance. We hope this slight drawback to the immediate satisfying of the anxiety of the crowd will be remedied in the exciting contests for the Derby and Oaks. The attendance of fashionables was so meagre, that a list of the names of the few present is not worth giving. They are, no doubt, reserving themselves for the Derby drama and the interesting afterpiece that will be played on Friday.

Full sail then challenged, defeated the Flight colt at the end of the Stand, and won rather cleverly by half a length; Nereus half a length from the second, and nothing else up. Sir S. Spry's filly was weighed for and mounted by Crouch, but contrived to dislodge him immediately, and, after rolling over a complete summerset, broke away up the course ; she cleared hedges and ditches in tolerable style, but ultimately fell into one, and was se cured.

The Assembly took up a petition and complaint from Dr. Ferric against a decision of the Presbytery of St. Andrews. The petition was to the effect that at a meet ing of the Presbytery, held on Monday last, it proceeded to the consideration of a libel against Sir David Brew ster, and found the same relevant. Against this decision Dr. Ferrie entered his dissent and complaint, and ap pealed to the Assembly ; but as the meeting of the Assembly was so near, there was no time to have the papers prepared, and the appellant was compelled to come betoro the court without having a copy of the libel or the other documents to lay on the table. Dr. FERRIE stated that what he thought ought to be done was this : that the Assembly should direct the Presbytery Clerk to send up the libel, and the accom panying papers, by Thursday next. There was no time for extracts, seeing the libel itself occupied from forty to fifty pages. Dr. HALDANE and Mr. MERSER, who appeared for the Presbytery, stated that they had no objections whatever to the papers being ordered ; but they contended that copies, not the orginal . papers, should be brought up, in case of accident It might become a serious matter, for example, if the libel were lost. This view was concurred in by the Court, and instruc tions were given that the Clerk of Presbytery should send up copies of the libel and other papers by Thursday next. Miss Clara Seyton, last evening gave, at this room, a lecture on comedy, showing its rise and progress, and its influence ()lithe human mind, interspersed with songs and recitations. The attempt was a bold one, but it was completely successful. We some time since had occasion to speak of the great tersatility of talent exhibited by this young lady, on her appearance at one of the theatres. To this we have to add that not only did she bring great ver satility of talent to bear in illustrating her lecture, but that the loctere itself bore proofs of great research, refined taste, arid correct appreciation of comic character. After rapidly tracing the rise tend progress of comedy, from the earliest ages to the days of Shakspeare, she alluded to the sensibility of the im mortal bard to the charms of music, and illustrated this portion of the lecture by singing the beautiful song, " Bid me discourse." After briefly alluding to the Comedies of Ben Jonson and Chapman, she proceeded to one of Shakspeare's earliest, but, at the same time, one of his most perfect comedies, Much Ado about Nothing. From this admirable comedy she recited various passages—in which she exhibited histrionic power of a very high order. Her conception of the character of Beatrice is admirable, and we hope the day is tiot far distant when we shall have the pleasure of seeing her embody this delightful Shaksperian creation on the boards of one of our national theatres. Tho delightful play of the Tempest was illustrated by the two songs, "Oh 1 bid your faithful Ariel fly," and " Where the Bee sucks ," the latter of which was deservedly encored. The second part opened with a critical notice of the Taming of the Shrew, and a most interesting com parison, illustrated by the recitation of parallel passages, was instituted between this play and Tobin's exquisite comedy of the Honey Moon. The Merry Wives of Windsor, and A Midsummer Night's Dream were then briefly touched upon •, the latter beautiful fairy creation being illustrated by the song, " Love in Idleness," and " OVer Hill, over Dale," after which, followed an analysis of Twelfth Night and The Merchant of Venice. The comic writers, successors of Shakspeare, down to the time of Sheridan, were then briefly passed in review, and returning to Shakspeare, as the basis of comparison, the fair lecturer concluded by an analysis of that most delightful of comedies As You Like It, illustrating it by extracts from the beautiful poetry which the bard has put into the mouth of Rosalind, which was delivered with effect, and at the same time so much beauty, and which exhibited such a thorough appreciation of all the lights and shadows and delicate tints with which Shakspeare has worked out that truly beautiful creation of feminine character, that we long to see Miss Clara Seyton delineating it as a whole, " with all appliances and means to boot, " that can be furnished forth by stage effect, scenery, &c. Her Rosalind we are convinced must succeed. She was much applauded throughout, and announced another lecture for this day week. Between the parts of the lecture Miss Emily Hudson, a young lady only seven years of age, performed upon the piano-forte a series of variations on the air " Alexis Send Ich Dich," in the most brilliant manner. She exhibited a firmness of touch, and a bril liancy of execution truly wonderful, and she does great credit to her talented instructress. The room was crowded.

Every information will be afforded on application to the Resident Directors, Edward Boyd, Esq., and E. Lennox Boyd, Esq., of No. 8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London. The Assembly next took up an overture from the Presbytery of Abertarff, setting forth that, as the "num ber of parochial and other spiritual charges, now vacant, in which religious instruction is necessarily communi cated through the medium of the Gaelic language, is still very considerable ; and whereas the number of licentiates at present in Ito Church, qualified by their knowledge of that language to discharge the duties of these cures, is not such as to meet the demand made for them, great injury to the cause of religion and the Church must unavoidably ensue from such a state of mat ters. It is, therefore, humbly overtured by the Presbytery of Abertarff to the venerable General Assembly, that they take measures to remedy this crying evil as speedily as possible, by expediting the training and li censing of probationers speaking the Gaelic language ; and that, for this purpose, if it seem meet to them, the venerable Assembly will be pleased to direct that one or more of the divinity halls and other schools of theology shall be opened for a session, some time in course of the summer or autumn of this year ; or to do otherwise in the circumstances as to them may seem most proper." Mr. CLARK, of Inverness, supported the overture. He said the number of preachers was entirely insufficient to supply the wants of the Highlands ; but it would be well before the Assembly adopted any resolution on the subject. that it should be aware of the facts of the case. It had been said that the cause of the want of preachers now felt in the Highlands was the divi sion which took place last year in the Church; but that was not the fact. He had been observing, for the last eight or nine years, that the number of Gaelic preachers had been gradually decreasing., and that the number of students who entered the Universities, with a view to the ministry, were also on the decrease during that period. This was the fact ; and the cause was, that during the last eight or nine years, the expense of theo logical education had been annually augmented by the new enactments which had been passed by the Assem bly. Had the expenses of a theological education been as great 20 or 30 years ago as it was now, not one-half of the ministers in the Highlands would have been able to enter the ministry at all. He proposed that Vie over ture be sent to a Committee to inquire into the whole matter, and to report. Dr. Hill concurred in the proposal of a Committee to take into consideration the subject of Gaelic preachers. He thought the Committee should also be directed to take into consideration the state of the Church in gene ral on this subject. He was satisfied there was much room for inquiry, and perhaps room also for their taking certain steps in order to meet the difficulties in which they would yet be placed. He had occasion, during the last six weeks, to carry on a large correspondence with friends throughout the Church ; and he had now to express his gratitude to them for the kindness with which they had met his inquiries. This correspondence would enable hint to lay before a Committee, which was to be appointed, a mass of information respecting eighty parishes in the Highlands and Lowlands. After some further conversation, a Committee was then adopted to take the subject of the overture into consideration, and to report. The PROCURATOR gave in a report from the Law Com mittee. Since the last Assembly not fewer than 146 cases had been before the Committee. They had arisen for the most part out of the disruption of the Church. and were partly connected with the position of quoad sacra churches—the principal difficulty being in con nection with the deeds and constitution of those A"TRALASIAN, COLONIAL, and GENE RAL LIFE ASSURANCE and ANNUITY COMPANY, 126, Bishopsgate-street, corner of Cornbill.

FRENCH and ENGLISH COOKERY. The metropolis of England exceeds that of France in extent and population ; it commands a greater supply of all articles of consumption, and contains a greater number and variety of markets, which are better supplied. There are also some articles of meat, and some articles of cookery in which Eng land exceeds France. Though we are undoubtedly inferior to the Gauls in the articles of veal and fowl, yet we greatly surpass them in mutton, produce better beef, lamb, and pork, and aro immeasurably superior both in the quantity and quality of our fish, our venison and our game. It is in fish, however, that we have been always most pre-eminent. The turbot brought to Billingsgate in the last month (March) in large quantities from the sand-banks, on the coast of Holland and St. George's Channel, sufficiently attest our energy and enterprise. The coasts of Holland and the sea beyond our western coast are as open to the French as to the British, yet when has any Paris market disclosed such a supply of fish as may be seen daily at Billingsgate, even after the hundreds of thou sands of retail fishmongers have been supplied ? In a few soups, such as turtle, which we possess in the greatest perfection, owing to our colonial trade, and ox tail, mock turtle, giblet, hare, pea, and mutton broth, we also surpass the French —but in the making of the latter admirable broth for invalids, there is still much to desire at coffee-houses and clubs. We scarcely know a public establishment where it may be eaten in perfection, excepting at Brookes's, in St. James's• street. It were most desirable that wo should learn how to make a French bouillon or a bit de poule, for here indeed we are ignorant and at fault. In the boiling of all plain fish we surpass our neighbours. There is nothing in Paris equal to a first-rate English turbot, codfish, haddock, John Dorey, or Southampton water, or Severn salmon; but we think the sauces used for these fishes in France infinitely preferable. The French • certainly beat us in sturgeon cutlets, filets de sole, and Bechamels of fish. The oysters of Cancale, of Etretat, of Ostend, and Marenne, are, we freely admit, superior to the generality of English oysters, because they are less artificially fed, and have not their flavour washed away. But if the London tradesmen would spare their oatmeal and fresh water, we have no doubt the Milton native oyster would be found fully equal to its Gallic brother. The Carlingford and Burren oysters are fully as good. In other shell fish also we have a decided superiority. The corpulent, respectable, full-fed crab is almost unknown to the Gauls, and they have but a small quantity of lobsters and prawns, but they cultivate the smaller cray fish in great quantities, which is not common in England. Ner is there anything in French cookery equal to our barons of beef, our noble sirloins, our exquisite haunches, and saddles, legs, and loins of Southdown mutton ; oar noble rounds of boiled beef, and those prime five-guinea haunches of venison which one sees from June till September, at the establishment of Messrs. Groves, at Charing-cross and in Bond-street. In cutlets of all kinds, in fricasees, ragouts, salmis, quenelles, purees filets, and more especially in the dressing of vegetables, our neighbours surpass us; but we roast our game more perfectly, and can hash mutton and venison better than any one of the myriads of French cooks. In bread, cream, butter, eggs, whether with reference to size or freshness, England is not to compare with France; and a French pou larch) of La Bresse or du Mans is worth all the Dorking fowl hatched since the time of the deluge. Though, there fore, we admit:that the French cuisine be more luxurious, more varied, more palateable, more fair and dainty to look on rather, than our ruder, more simple, more frugal, and less luxurious kitchen, yet we apprehend our ali ments (with the single exception of our vegetables) are infinitely more nutritious, and, to English stomachs at least, just as easy of digestion—perhaps, indeed, easier, than the more refined and recherche fare of our livelier neighbours.—Foreign Quarter ly Review. chapels. One of those cases, considered by the Com mittee to be the most favourable, was selected for trial, but their endeavours to bring it forward had been foiled. The seceding party had brought forward a case, which was one of the most favourable for them, and in all probability this case would take the lead. There were some cases in which interdicts had been ap plied for and obtained ; but there others where the par ties remained undisturbed, and the churches were still retained by them. He referred to the importance of this matter being considered at an early stage. The Com mittee had very properly been instructed to give advice in matters of law in all cases that might arise ; and they had also been enjoined to give legal protec tion in cases where it might be requisite. In this latter injunction, however, the Assembly passed out of its province, as the Committee had not a single farthing at their disposal, and when legal measures were to be adopted it was necessary for the parties to find the means for themselves. He then impressed upon the Assembly the propriety of funds being procured to relieve those Pres byteries which had been heavily burdened with ex penses, for some Presbyteries had not been burdened at all, whileothers were led into great expense. The Procurator then moved that the Assembly should appoint a Com mittee to advise with the Procurator, when necessary, on any question which might have arisen,-or might arise, with regard to the civic rights of Presbyteries in parishes and chapels at ease within their bounds. The motion was unanimously agreed to. The Assembly adjourned at half-past two. Mr. A. Piescott's b g Bosphorus, aged 2 4 Mr. King's ch f Nubia, 3 yrs... Hampton the favourite.

In our paper of Monday last we announced that a protest had been entered against Running Rein, on the ground that he is not the horse described in the nomi nation ; the objectors were Lord Glasgow, Lord G. Bentinck, Mr. Bowes, Mr. Ford, Mr. Cookes, Mr. Crock ford, and John Scott. On Monday Lord Maidstone en tered a protest against him and Leander, and it was fully expected that both cases would be gone into on their merits yesterday morning. Such, however, was not the fact; only the parties connected with the two horses were called upon, and sufficient evi dence adduced by them to warrant the Stewards to permit them to start. Sh ou ld e ith er o f them win, the stakes will he withheld, and the stewards will be prepared . to hear eviden ce on b ot h s id es . Th e o bjectors are anxious that Running Rein should be examined by a respectable and competent veterinary surgeon, to be selected by the Stewards, and they are willing that every horse they may start for either Derby or Oaks should be submitted to a similar test. Of betting, we never heard so little on the eve of a great race ; we can only state, that Ratan retained a slight call of the Ugly Buck, and that Running Rem, on its being made public that he would be allowed to start, sprung to 12 to 1. The general market prices at the close of the racing, were as under :- 9 to 4 agst Ratan—taken. 20 to 1 agst lonian. sto 2 agst Ugly Buck --t. 25 to 1 agst Qui Tam. 12 to 1 agst Orlando—t. 20 to 1 agst Akbar—taken. 16 to 1 agst Bay limns— 40 to 1 agst Loadstone—t.

LEGER. 10,000 to 2,000 agst the Ugly Buck—taken: The Buck, accompanied by Ben-y-Ghlo, arrived about an hour before the races. Lord Albemarle's Robinia (Oaks), Lord Exeter's Merope (Oaks), and Wee Pet, arrived about the same time. lIORSES EXPECTED TO START. THE " MORNING STAR."—This is the title of a forthcoming weekly journal, and the words will probably excite no agreeable feeling in the mind of a certain no bleman. The prospectus, which is in keeping with the title, begins thus:—" The Morning Star will urge upon these nations the immediate re-acknowledgment of the judicial laws written down to divine dictation by Moses, as being the purest and most comprehensive in principle, and the most economical in practice, of all laws that hare ever existed, or can, by man, be invented : de manding of the people not merely obedience, on their own part, to these laws for the future, but the full execu tion of retributive justice for the past, upon every class and individual now trampling down or failing to obey these divine statutes; with the consequent annihilation of all systems, institutions, and interests not absolutely consistent with the pure principle of equal justice upon which these laws are founded." After reading this awful announcement, we had not courage to look at another word of the prospectus. STATE OF THE CROPS IN WEST KENT.—There has not been experienced, at a corresponding season of the year, such a continued and (it may be said) so serious a drought. The land has often been in a drier state, but this has been at a later period of the year, when the crops had taken deeper root, and therefore enabled to keep alive, if not to make growth ; but now many crops are completely scorched down, " root and rind," to the bottom. The wheats seldom suffer from want of 11101 - MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM TUN MORNLYG PAPERS OF:TIIIS DAT. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.

The barleys are suffering severely. Where sown late they have had no chance to vege tate. Oats the same ; and in many instances the sowing has been posponed, from the stubborn state of the land, and must be abandoned for this season alto gether. The clovers, which at the beginning of March were unusually good, are in many instances com pletely scorched and destroyed ; even on the strong clay soils the land is so cracked in all directions that the crops cannot stand. The grass, both in the meadows and pastures, is looking very unpromising, and the crops of hay must be short. The hop bine is growing fast and looking well. Fruit is also showing a good blossom, especially cherries and apples; there is here and there appearance of blight, but this is by no means general or extensive. The lambing season has proved the most prosperous ever remembered by the oldest shep herds; the fall iv. Romney-marsh, and, indeed, through out the whole district, has been numerous, and the wea ther continues so fine that they have thrived rapidly on a comparatively small portion of food. The meat mar kets remain dull, and the prices are not satisfactory nor remunerating to the graziers. The corn markets a re steady, with a slight inclination upwards. Labour is scarce and many hands unemployed, fur even the weeds have ceased to grow. TAUNTON.—THE LATE McnnEns.--We are in. formed that those abandoned women, Mary and Faith Sealy, who left Wilton Gaol a few days ago accom• panied by the governor, to proceed to one of our sea ports, whence they have sinc e embarked for Australia, contested to him that they had committed the murders with which they severally stood charged. Faith stated that she poisoned her father, and that her confession made before the coron er (and in which she declared that she had seen her s i s ter mix the arsenic with the food given him) was fa lse, she (Faith) having herself prepared the food for him, and mixed the poison with it. Mary Sealy, too, confessed to having murdered her aunt under the circumstances described at the trial. More horrible cases of depravity have, perhaps, seldom been heard. [And twenty-four greater blockheads than the two juries who acquitted these women have seldom been sworn in a court of justice. The evidence in each case left no reasonable ground of any doubt whatever as to the guilt of the prisoners.]—Somerset County Gazette. EXECUTIONS FOR MURDER.—On Friday John Hickey was executed at Nenagh, for conspiring to murder 'Thomas Hanaley ; and at the same time and place John Cooke paid the forfeit of his life for the murder of a man named Nolan.—lrish Paper. By advises from Hamburgh the price of gold is 436 I per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10 id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 104; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 10i, it follows that gold is 0.17 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London is 108 i per cent., and the par of exchange between_o_Eng land and America being 109 23-4 0 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.83 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference.

By JOAN MILLS, Esq., Author of the " Old English Gentleman," " The Stage Coach, or the Road of Life," &c. In three vols. . " Mr: Mills, both in this and in his former works, appears in a o ver tT a tt school, r e e s eable and an eminently light.He is evidently patriotic himselfly er Alli an it E English gentleman ntleinan f thetaste and predilections seem directed to the beauties and other good quali ties to be met with in this island. He loves his home with an exclu sive love, possibly because he knows no better ; but possibly also— and this we would fain believe—because he has made the experiment, and has discovered satisfaction no where else. If this be the case, we arc glad to have Mr. Mills's testimony in favour of our social system, for he has evidently a keen relish of enjoyment. He relishes life, such as he finds it here, like one of nature's epicures, and he would not give two farthings to the inventor of a new pleasure. The English Fireside is, indeed, well arranged and rapid, and deeply in teresting, nay exciting—in this respect it far supersedes the author's previous productions.

Mr. Everson is insured.—lpswich Express. CHILD MURDER AND SUICIDE.—An occurrence has lately taken place at Westlaby, near Lincoln, wich has excited a great sensation in that locality. Some per sons who were taking young rooks in Mr. Tongue's rookery, found a bundle which contained a dead child, 1 and one of the menmost unfeelingly kicked it into some ivy. Tho affair, however, caused a good deal of con versation ; it was mentioned to Ann Robinson, Mil Tongue's housekeeper, and she was observed to evince confusion, though at the moment she passed the matter off with a mere expression of surprise. In the course of the evening the dead child disappeared from the ivy bush, and could not then be found, and the same night Robinson destroyed herself by taking a large dose of laudanum. The child:was her's ; but nothing transpired tending to show whether it had been put to death or died in the birth through neglect. Inquests were held on both bodies. In the case of the woman a verdict of felo de se was returned; in that of the child the jury re turned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against the de ceased Ann Robinson.

MAN - MESTER, DioNDAT EvENLIG.—Mr Brown, the free trade candidate, continued his canvass this morning, accom panied by Mr. Cobden; Mr. Thomas Potter (son of Sir P otter) , Mr. Thomas Bliht (brother of the Hon. Member for Durham), Mr. Schole th'b of Rochdale; and our first triaViiient was to the beautiful Yale of Todmorden, or the " Happy Va ll ey" as it has been called. We proceeded by the Manchester and 1296(19 Railway; and the journey, which is little more than t we nt miles, was accomplished in an hour. Mr. Brown was recei ved by a h o g o f friends here, in cluding the following eminent manufacturers:—Wm. Halli well, Eq. ; Abraham Ormerod, Esq.; Royston Oi.!ver , r'•q• John Veevers, Esq. ; Greenwood Stones, Esq. • Willhe'n ~Bar,_ ker, Esq. • W. Ormerod, Esq. ; Peter rmero ' d, Esq. • e° llll Greenwood,' El; James Greenwood, Esq. ; John Eariishaers Esq. (Bacup) ; William Chambers, Esq. ; Charles Chambers. Esq. ; Robert Howarth, Esq. (Bacu ; Robert Greenwood'. Esq.; William Fielden, Esq. (Clough ); p and James Fielden,. Esq., brother of the Hon. Member for Oldham. lam told' that Peregrine Edward Townely, Esq., father of the late candidate for the representation of the division (Charles Townely, Esq..), had been here till within a few minutes of our arrival, intending to introduce Mr. Brown to the elec toff, lit the train being behind its time, he was compelled to leave before it came up. Mr. Brown, on his arrival, at once proceeded to address the large assemblage of people (between 3,000 and 4,000), and was received with most enthusiastic cheering. Mr. W. Halliwell occupied the chair, an,i after Mr. Brown had finished his address, a list of not less then twenty questions were put to him by a Chartist, and most of them answered apparently to the satisfaction of the meeting - - Mr. Cobden followed in one of his most telling speeches, after which a resolution was put, to the effect that Mr. Brawn was a fit and proper person to represent the southern division of Lancashire, aiad carried by a large majority. There are from 170 to 180 voters at Todmorden, and out of these the free traders calculate on a majority of at least 100 1 After the meeting, they adjourned to the hotel. The next place in the route was Rochdale, and as Mr.. Drown entered his carriage, the whole neighbourhood seemed to have sent forth its entire population to greet him, and he left umidst the cheers of more than 6,000 people. The distance from Todmorden to Rochdale by the turnpike is about ten miles, and with the aid of four good home the Bret half of this road, which passes through one of the most romantic and picturesque vales in England, was performed in little more than twenty minutes. The journey forwards from this point, however, was much slower. Parties of gentle men on horseback, and groups of carriages were in waiting at the junction of the different roads with that along which the route lay, and as we neared the town of Rochdale still Teem, a procession on foot, with bands of music, and colours flying, joined, so that considerable time was consumed. Mr. Brown entered Rochdale about one o'clock. At this tine there were in the procession not less than one hundred and fifty gentlemen on horseback, a string of open carriages reaching a third of a mile, and there could not be less than from 15,000 to 20,000 people Oil foot, who greeted the candi date with deafening cheers, until be reached a plot of ground called the Butts, behind Tweedale'S Hotel, Rochdale. Here the hustings had been prepared, and Mr. Brown was formally introduced to the electors by John Featen, Esq., late Mem ber for the borough. The chair was talon by Mr. Fenton, and Mr. Brown at once proceeded to deliverhioentiments. He was afterwards interrogated by some of the extreio e . Radicals ; and though not coming exactly up to their mark , ' in all his answers he went through his facings with a success equal to that which had attended his catechising at Todmorden, And was loudly cheered. Mr. LIVESEY, the chief questioner, said they had put th& same questions to Mr. Brown as they had a few days before-. to Mr. Entwisle ; and though Mr. Brown did not go so far as he could wish, there was a degree of toleration about his sentiments much more deserving of their applause than had been displayed by the Conservative candidate. Mr. Coauax was called for afterwards, and was received with great cheering. He said Mr. Brown did not come up to his point on many questions; but he was a free trader, and he believed him to be an honest free trader. This W3B a free trade contest; and as the result of the contest went in favour of Entwisle or Brown, so would the rest of the coun try set the people of Lancashire to be free traders or mono polists.—(Lond cheers.) The Chartists, who had come for ward here, had said first that free trade was humbug, and then they said, " Give us the Charter, and we'll repeal the corn-laws and all other monopolies." But how could they with any honesty call upon him to support the Charter, in the hopes of getting free trade through it, when the Chartists professed to be against free trade ?—(Cheers.) A resolution, pledging the meeting to support the free trade candidate, was carried unanimously, and amidst im mense cheering. A cold collation had been prepared at Tweedalee Hotel, and to this the candidate and his friends wire invited, im mediately on the termination of the meeting. The chair was taken by John Fenton, Esq. (magistrate' of the county), the vice-chair by William Chadwick, Esq.- (magistrate of the county); and the following gentlemen were also among those who took seats at the • table ;--- Henry Kensall, Esq. (county magistrate), Robert Schofield, Esq., James Schofield, Esq., James Gibson, Esq„ Thomas Turner, Esq„ James Chadwick, Esq., George Ashworth, Esq. (county magistrate); Robert Heape, Esq., Robert Taylor Heape, Esq., Thomas Bright, Esq., James Schofield, jun., Esq., Benjamin Schofield, Esq., Robert Pagan, Esq., Robert Leach Tweedale, Esq., James Leach, Esq., Robert Tweedale, Esq., R. Kelsall, Esq., James Hoyle, Esq., John Hoyle, Esq., James Hoyle, jun., Esq., Thomas Hoyle, Esq., James Holt, Esq., Tomas ' Booth, Esq., Thomas Holland, Esq., W. Holt, Esq., John Ashworth, Esq., Thomas Ashworth, Esq., Andrew , Steward, Esq., and James Howard, Esq. Refreshments hav ing been partaken of, the health of the candidate was given and responded to with enthusiasm. Rochdale has 1,465 voters on the list (the district of which it is the polling place), and here, in 1837, the Tories polled 510 votes, and the Liberals 509 ; on this occasion there will be a great majority against the Tories. Oldham was the next place of meeting. The free trade candidate left Rochdale as he entered, accompanied by an immense procession, the greater part of which were left be hind at the outskirts of the town, but the horsemen and car riages went on to Oldham, a distance of nearly six miles. About midway betwcsn Se two towns the escort was in creased to nearly 500 horsemen and about fifty open carriages ; and this splendid cay.alcade entered Oldham about four o'clock, where it was feceived by a con course of people lining both sides of the :oad, amounting to many . thousands, and extending nearly t ,:vo miles. A meeting in the spacious Town - hall of this W."gh was awaiting the arrival of Mr. Brown, and by this sa.: o ;ing , which was densely crowded, he was received with ',Aid plaudits. The chair was taken by Horatio Nelson, Eel,' (county magistrate) ; and amongst the principal gTitlemesi present were—Jonathan Mellor, Esq., (county magistrate); Elijah Hibberts, Esq., (magistrate of the county) ; Josiah Ratcliffe, Esq. ; John Platt, Esq. ; Joseph Platt, Esq. ' - ; John Lees, Esq. ; Samuel Lees, Esq. Jesse Ainsworth, Esq. ; Esau Lees, Esq.; Job Lees, Esq. ; Thomas Rdbinson, Esq.; J. Cheetham, Esq. • Jonathan Hague, Esq. ; J. Scholes Hague, Esq.—[This list of gentlemen includes none of the escort who accompanied Mr. Brown into the town on horseback and in carriages, these gentlemen being shut ant by the meeting having previously assembled.] The candi date addressed the meeting for about half an hour, after which some questions were put, and though the latter were not of much interest, both his answers and sfeech served to create a decidedly favourable impression. His sentiments on free trade were received with unanimous aid ent.husiastic ap plause. After Mr. Cobden had addressed the audience the usual resolution of fitness, &c., was passed, and the ;lusting adjourned. The party left for Ashton about a quarter to six o'clock, where another meeting had been called to receive the fote trade candidate. The distance is about four miles, and Mr. Brown was escorted the whole distance by a large body of gentlemen on horseback, who had come over on purpose from Ashton. There were also about a dozen open carriages in the escort here. Almost the whole line of road was lined by people who cheered the party as it passed. A crowded meeting had already assembled in the Town-hall when they arrived, and the proceedings were at once commenced, not withstanding loud cries for' an adjournment to the open air. Among the principal freeholders present were —John Chect , - ham, Esq. (county magistrate) ; John Whittaker, Esq. ; William Bayley, Esq. ; James Lord, Esq.

By p e a n i t s t e w n ae mere rY re, i 3 l Cu t e h d e , vicinity, the family papers and ed Carlisle's steward, and some of the e n p iu ri n n i e m i and some unimportant parts of the furniture are preserved. but from its extreme antiquity the greater part of it could not bear removal, and what the fire spared has been hope lessly damaged. The books, furniture, &c., in Lord William Howard's apartments were thrown from the window, and of course destroyed ; but the apartments themselves have escaped, although the lower part of the tower is much burnt. The fire, it appears, was first discovered about half-past three o'clock, and not at noon, as before stated, by a son of Mr. Orridge, the governor of Carlisle gaol, who happened accidentally to be present, and it was owing to his presence of mind that assistance was procured in time to save any of the property. There were none but women in the Castle when the fire was discovered, and the young gentleman ran not less than two miles to Kirkhaus, where there are some collieries belonging to the Earl of Carlisle, to procure as sistance, and also dispatched messengers to Carlisle and Brampton. The fire is supposed to have originated in the Porter's lodge' in consequence of the flues being out of order or too much intersected with wood ; and although there was an impression at first that it was the act of an incendiary, this is certainly not the impression now. The Castle is said to have been insured to the amount of 10,000/., and it is gratifying to be able to add that there was neither life nor limb endangered by the fire, although there were thousands present. LORD TrIANET'S Fox.—The late Earl of Thanet was in the habit of removing every year, with his hunters and hounds, from Hothtield, near Ashford , in Sent, to an other seat he had in Westmoreland. A s hort time previous to one of these removals, a fox had been run to earth near Hothfield ; and, upon being dug out, he proved to_be so ex traordinary large and fine a one, that Lord Thanet directed it to be conveyed to Westmoreland. In the course of the next season a fox was run to earth again at Hothfield ; and, upon being dug out, the huntsman, whippers-in, and the earth-stoppers, all declared that it was the same fox which had been taken into Westmoreland, as it had an unusually large white blaze on its forehead. Lord Thanet was exceed ingly energetic in his expressions of disbelief of the state ment of his people, but they persisted in their assertiore •, and, having ear-marked the fox, he was again t a k en i nto Westmoreland, and turned loose in the neighbou r h oo d o f A p pl e by Castle. In hunting the next season at Hatlifield a fox was killed at that place, which proved to be the one in question, and which had thus twice found its way from West moreland into Kent. By what instinct or exertions of its faculties the animal was enabled to do this (the distance from one place to the other being about 320 miles), it is not easy to form an idea. Its well-known cunning would, one might suppose, be of little avail in such an emergency, except in enabling it to procure food.—Chester Chronicle, c - - • ---- 25, Eclat. 1, at sseX, ape Gar half June g ton, hant, lye-- -ft.
