ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. The first representation this season of Le Prophele, and the rentree of Madame Viardot Garcia, attracted an overflowing audience to the Royal Italian Opera on Sa turday. The Fides of Madame Viardot is one of the greatest pieces of acting on the lyric stage, and she proved on Saturday that she had not abated one jot or tittle of her power. In the coronation scene she was .finer than ever we have seen her; she seemed to act more impulsively than was formerly her wont, to forget her personal identity, to give herself up more completely to tee part, and the consequence was, that we had an increase of intensity and force with a diminu tion of exaggeration, which produced an effect perfectly /runtime. Never have we witnessed any thing more touchingly pathetic than her rendsring of the beautiful " Ah, mon fits." Merit), who in the early part ut the evening seemed suffering from indisposition, warmed wif h his part, and gave the superb finale of the second act and the Bacchanalian song in the fifth with infinite fire and spirit. He rainy shared with Madame Viardot the honours of the representation, and was, at the con clusion of the opera, called on with her. The cast of the opera was, with a few unimportant exceptions, the same as last year, and it was coust queetly given with a completeness that left nothing to be destred. Her Ma jest) and Prince Albert honourtd the performance with their presence. The gaeen and the Prince were at tended by the Viscueetess Canning, the Hon.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius at \Vestwinster, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a SpPeial Jury.) MILNER V. HARRISON, EXECUTOR• This was an action to try the right t a patent taken out in the year 1840 for an alleged improvement in the construction of iron safes and boxes fur the preserva tion of books and papers from destruction by fire. The d. fendant pleaded not guilty to the alleged in fringement that the invention was not new, or of public utility, and that the plaintiff was not the inventor. Mr. Chambers, Mr. Crowder, and Mr. Webster, ap peared for the plaintiff, and the defendant was repre sented by Sir F. Ihesiger, Mr. Knowles, and Mr. ilindmarsh. The boxes and safes made by the plaintiff are well known by the name of " Miluer's patent," and their peculiarity consists in the introduction of water and some other absorbent substance, which keep the docu ments deposited inside in a moist state when the boxes are surrounded by fire, and protect them from the in fluence of the devouring element. The evidence, which was of a purely scientific and technical character, promised to occupy the Court the whole day. MARLBR(Y-STREE r-("1 HIS DAY.) ATTEMPTED SDICIDE.—Jemima Busted, a girl about 18 years of age, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged.with attempting to commit suicide by throwing herself into the Serpentine, Hyde-park. Inspector Brandsiorci, .1!.1 division, stated that about halt-plat ton on Saturday night he was standing on the north bank of the Serpentine in company with a ser geant, when he saw some person come by the waterside and sit on one of the benches. Itt about a minute after he saw that the person had disappeared. This excited his suspicion, and on going to the spot he found a shawl and bonnet lying On the seat, and on looking into the river he saw a dark mass floating on the top of the water. He ttrehed into the river, and atter considerable difficulty succeeded in getting hold of the prisoner and bore her to shore in a state of tusensibtlity, and has _a had DO aaisht since immediately at hand, he pulled out his knife and out open her dress. A police-sergeant shortly came to his aid, and the prisoner was taken to the Humane So ciety's receivieg house, where the usual remedies were resorted to, *nu after a short time she was so far re• covert d as to be removed to the workhouse. The prisoner, who refused to assign any cause for attempting suicide, was remanded fur the attendance of her parents, who reside , in the country. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.

Another failure has taken place in New York, that of a stockbroker, caused, as usual, by over speculation in mining, railroad, and other shares, and having no effect upon, or relation with, the cotton or other commercial markets.

VIOLENT STORM SAT NOTTINGHAM.—On Friday afterioon, at three o'clock, a storm of hail and rain, of un usual violence, broke immediately over this town, deluging the streets, and sweeping everything before it. A great mass of water accumulated in Upper Parliament-street, and swept with overpowering force down Sheep-lane into the market-place, at a time when there was the greatest throng of business. pots and pans, fruit, vegetables, and other things, being carried away, and a large stream flowed out of the market-place down Wheeler-gate, filling the low kit chens in its course. The lightning was extremely vivid, and one flash struck a chimney on the south west corner of Messrs. HOgson, Gregory, and Co's. lace factory, Canal street, and the electric fluid, passing down the chimney shaft, set fire to a quantity of cotton fibre. The room was instantly in a blaze, but it was fortunately discovered by Mr. Hodgson, and put out in a few minutes. Some of the hailstones were three or four inches in circumference, and were in shape something like broadbeans. The storm, which was confined almost exclusively to Nottingham, lasted but ten minutes, and was followed bya brilliant evening. A large number of panes were broken, and the low kitchens in the sheets, water. wheie there was the slightest descent, were filled with APPOINTMENTS —Mr. Herbert Poulton V ou l es , one a the directors of convict pris ons, is a ppointed inspector 01 prisons for the northern a nd eastern district, in the room dill, who has been appointed assistant soefcrierta. r F y re to de t rick he Post-office.

EVENING, ALARMING COLLIERY ACCIDENT BRIST , L, JUNE 21.—This city and nelghttoerhood were yesterday evening alarmed by an accident which occurred at Vie North Side Coal-plt, Bedminster. near this city, by the falling in of the shalt, whereby 40 per s.ins were at once buried alive. On proceeding to the sp..t a scene of tho most distressing nature presented itself. Several hundred persons, mostly the relatives and friends of the men thus immured in the pit, had congre gated round the realises, and the cries and lamentations of the women were heartrending. The following is a detailed narrative of this shocking occurrence: — I: appears that the woilti, which belong to 11Pssr.s. Groulstone, S amen, G irrPtt, and Co., proceeded without anything unusual occurring until about eleven o'clock yesterday forenoon, when, in ascending the shaft, a ear,- load of coal struck the side and carried away a portion of the timber, immediately upon which the parties in at tendince abovw heard a qua ,city of earthwork fall, and upon an a . tempt being matte to lower the cart it was found that it could n•,t pass as the shaft hsd Teen hl,:cked up Of course apprehensions of a innst painful kind were AL once excised f r the safety of the unfortunate men below, and all possible means were taken w repair the shaft so as to get at them, but unfurtunately the nature of the works was such as only to admit of three men working at the time, se that it soon beeatne aPPar, tit that very rainy hours must elapse before a passage dow❑ the shalt could be obtained. As nearly a 4 could be observed fry rn an examination of the injury, it seems that the first pieces of timber, in their fall, must have knocked away other sets. The stilt is about 135 fathoms in depth, and the trailing in took place at a depth of about 90 fa thoms, and from this for about 30 fathom• more the nom fnunteation was suspended. Thi s wou ld b r ing one to the bottom of the first vein, and beneath that again, where it was discovered all the men but two were, was a depth of 15 fathoms. Immediately that intelligence of this alarming accident found its way into the district, the wives, fatnilitts, and relatives of the men gathered round the pit yard, giving vent to the most frantic cries. Men were stationed at the entrance of ,the yard to prevent the ingress of the crowd, and as the door was opsued to let any one pass out it was heartrending to witness the eager anxiety with which every bit of information that could be gleaned was received. One poor woman, sitting on the ground, with an infant in her arms, informed our correspondent with piteous cries that her father, son, uncle, brother, and husband were all below, From eleven o'clock in the morning, the time the ac cident occurred, till about halt' -past nine at night, the distressing anxiety as to the fate of the poor fellows con tinued unabated. Mr. Goulatone, one of the proprietors, remained the whole of the time on the spot, superintend ing the exertions made to deliver the poor men. He endeavoured to keep up the spirits of the anxious in• quirers by informing them that in all probability the places where the men would be at work were at points remote from the.ahaft, branchin g in different directions from it; that the roads were good, and even supposing, as there was too much reason to fear, that the fall of the earthwork had displaced the two air trunks which passed down the shalt, the water which ran into the'lower level of the colliery would carry with it sufficient air to pre serve life even for days, as the pit extends about a quarter of a mile round. At half-past nine o'clock at night the men first succeeded in making any persons hear, and Mr. Knight, of Ashton Vale Colliery, with a very praiseworthy feeling, volunteered to descend the pit and see how things were going o n . Upon his return he stated that he had heard some one below open the air hatch and close it, and that ho had conversed with a man named William Braille, who was below the stoppage, and who, in reply to his call to him, said, " We want lights and something to eat." All efforts were now made to pass lights, and although the men above must have been almoot tired out, they set to work with an alacrity which refl-cted the utmost credit upon them; lines were procured, and they descended into the pit with about 310. of candles. All was now anxiety and attention, shouting was heard below, and strong hopes were entertained that the next hoic of the bucket would put an end to all fears. Unhappily, however, such was not the case. The men at a quarter past Lou o'clock were again pulled up, when they stated that they had conversed with two men, William Braine and Morgan Phillips, who were in the top vein, and had passed can dles to them. but that these men', had informed them that they could not get to the tip leading to the lower vein, nor could they make anyone below hear them. Thus things remained till past midnight in a state of the most painful uncertainty and epprehetision as re garded the men in the bottom of the-level, their lives of course depending upon whether they had air or not.. The men who were tow in the pit were the men who went to work at six o'clock in the morning, and the followieg list of their names was furnished by Mr. Goulstone:—James Peddar, James Wellor, sen., Jos. Britton, Jas. Wellor, jun., John Tuvey, Henry Gibbiugs, Thomas Boult, Benjamin Weaver, William Braine, jun., William Bryant, William Samson, George Smith, Joseph Tovey, John Britten, Henry Clark. Samuel Sansom, Aaron Briton, John Rennolds, Thomas Sims, sen., Henry Woodbridge, William Braine, Morgan Phitlips, William Hoskins, Charles James, William Gibhings, George Cole, Edward Ash, James Ridler, James Hell, George Edwards, Thomas Iles, Joseph Denison, Edward Woodbridge, Eli Star, Samuel Star, George Willen, sen., Daniel Jefferies, Edward Gibbins, George Vining, Juhn Stilman, and Robert Harris. From midnight till after three o'clock this (Satur day) morning the exertions of the men above for the rescue of those below continued unabated, when they happily succeeded in rescuing the two men, William Brsiue and Morgan Phillips, from their perilous con dition. We should state that a large number of men from other collieries in the neighbourhood were em ployed, and they worked with the utmost ardour in the hope of rescuing, or at least obtainin g tidings of the buried men, the wives and relative s remaining the whole period by the side of the pit, their feelings alter nating between hope and fear. Load after load of tim ber was used in repairing the sides of the shaft, so great was the mischief done ; and what made the matter worse was that fresh quantitie s of earth were falling from time to time, and some of the men below asserted that they heard the sound of falling stones below the first vein, which of course descended to that in which the poor fellows were buried. At three o'clock this morning Mr. Rannolds, son of one of the proprietors of the Malago Coal Mines, arrived, and urged the immediate adoption of measures to bring up the two men, Braine and Phillips. He proposed that in addi tion to the ordinary pit bonnet, which is a kind of iron shield suspended above the bucket to prevent stones and rubbish falling on the men when engaged in the act of ascending or descending, a second one should be pro cured from his own works, that these bonnet's should be fastened to the hauling chain, and that either a small bucket or some nooses of cord, in which the men could insert their legs, should be appended at the end, the whole then to be lowered to the first vein, so as to give the two men the opportunity of effecting their escape. Some objection was for some time entertained to this, as it was thought that the danger arising from the shattered condition of the shaft walls was so great that till they were repaired the men would be safer where they were. It was also suggested that by bringing them up they would cut eft all chant). of communica tion with those in the lower vein, and many feared that the men themselves would shriek from the rick incurred by ae ascent under the circumstances, Mr. Rennolds, however, persisted, urging that the two shields would resist the fall of a ton or more of stenos and earth, and that the worst consequence likely to happsn was the fracture of a limb or lenbe whice would be better than a lingering death. It was at hat resolved that a brother of Phillips should descend and communicate the propo sition, leaving the decision to the wen themselves. Phillips accordingly descended, anti when drawn up be owed that it was the wish of the trit.ri that the attempt should be made; accordingly the additional bonnet teal obtained and fa , teued above a small bucket; but here a difli ulty arose. It was hecessary that some one should d.acend in the buck •t, and th.• majority of the men not unneturally shrank Iron the danger. Mr. Goulatone said, of course, he could nut compel any man to tick his lite, but he asked ringly, " Wilt no tete try to save them?" At fitteen minutes past tour o'clock a brave fellow, named James North, volunteered to descend the shaft. Mr. Goulatone said he would reward him fur his heroism, and he en tered the bucket and descended. The strictest silence was now eoj Aned on those who were stationed at the mouth of the pit, in order that there might be no diffi culty in catching the " bottom signal," which was shortly afterwards given, and in a tew minutes more the two poor men, Braine and Phillips, were landed with their brave deliverer N, , rth._ Theexsitement tat this time was most intense. Cries of" Noble North" burst from many of the spectators, and a number even of the rude colliers were melted to tears. The poor fellows, when drawn up, looked very pale and exhausted, having suffered a good deal from the foul air in the vein. Brandy and water was administered to them, and, as soon a s they h a d some what collected themselves , inquiri es were ma d e o f them as to the probable position of the other thirty eight men below. Phillips, who is a Welsh miner, was interrogated through an interpreter, and he expressed a strong opinion that there was not a soul alive in the lower vein, for the air was so bad that it would be impos sible to carry a candle or to reach them. He added that ho had crawled on his hands and knees to the " tip" leading to the lower mine, where he had called out as loudly as possible, and had also thrown pieces of rubble down the shaft, but he could not make any one hear, and he much feared that no one survived. Braine pal tly corroborated this, and said he also used every means to to attract attention, but without effect; but then he thought some further effort sh ou ld b e ma d e , as t h e m en might very possibly be gathered togeth e r at some distance from the tip shaft in the hope that it might be cleared and themselves hauled up. lie thought the air was not so bad but that it was possible men might live in it, and he suggested that a windlass might be taken down, and, if a candle would not burn, be fixed in the dark, when some person might descend a rope into the bottom vein and call or grope for the missing men. The intrepid man North again volunteered for the work, and it was at once resolved that the experiment thus suggested should at least be tried. His example was speedily followed by five other men—who declared themselves willing to share the danger_viz,, Francis Smith, William Smith, Samuel Page, William Cooper, and Richard Pike. Francis Smith and W. Page de scended first, and after retching the first vein the bucket was returned, and W. Smith and Cooper went down next, and after them North and Pike. The bucket was subsequently lowered down to them, loaded with a windlass, canvas to make an air shaft, some tools, and a strong rope between forty and fifty f tthoms iu length. Strict silence was again rigidly en forced, as. from the great depth, much difficulty was ex perienced in hearing the signal, and the lives of the men miglit depend upon its being instantly oboe ed by the en• gineer. The spectators, in order that no Bowel might nrr.st the attention of the hauk•r nan , w ithdrew to a distance from the mouth of the sh a ft, w h e r e iu silence they awaited the result. A leegthened period was now MONDAY J U NE 23: passed in suspense, but at length the men returned, having been unable to accomplish their undertaking. They stated that the air was so foul it was impossible foe them to awry lights, although they were enabled to crawl through it, n:::1 men might live in it for ten or twelve hours. North said ha was sadly afraid that all the men and boys were dead, fur he had managed to crawl to the mouth of the tip, where he had hallooed as loud as ho poi , sibly could, and bad also hammered on a piece of rock tor ten minutes, without receiving any answer. It was possible, however, that the air in the bottom vein might be purer than above, and that the men might still hi imprisoned alive there. They all concurred in stating that the condition of the wall was so exceedingly dangerous that they durst not risk their lives again till it had been in some measure repaired. At the same time they said they were willing to do anything they could fur the rescue ut their couarad -s, and another attempt was made by them, but they were compelled to return almost immediately. It was now determined that the only chance lay in the vete k ut reparation being proc, oiled with as quickly as possible. A large air shaft of canvas was passed into the pit, and messengi re were dispatched to borrow several hundred yards ut hose trout the insurance offices at Bristol, through which air could be pumped into the vein so as to give the imprisoned men a chance of sur viving till a cdnomuideatiou could be opened with them. Several hours wero thus employed, and at a quarter before eleven o'clock this (Saturday) morning toe men were communicated with, and to the joy and astonish ment of toe crowds of spectators, they were reported to be all alive. Tee pleasing intelligence was speedily con veyed to their relatives and redoubled efforts were made to get to.thein, but it was not till nearly seven o'clock this evening that any of them were brought to the surface. The three first brought up were James Peddar, James Weller, sen., and Joseph Britton, and as rapidly as possible all the rest were extricated. Many of them were quite exhausted, and it was evident that a few more hours would have produced the most fatal and lamentable consequences. The poor fellows stated that on Friday night they had abandoned all hope, and had betaken themselves to prayer. The air at times was so bad that it was with the utmost difficulty they could breathe, and but for the falls of earth, which brought some air with them, they could not have en dured it so lung. A good deal of credit is due to a man named Francis Smith, who, after the descent was consi dered too dangerous to attempt, consented to risk his life, and did not desist from the work till he had succeeded in landing 28 of the men. The other men most pro minent in their exertions were named Davies, Bolt, Wat son, Bateen, Joy, Marston, and Page. Mr. :Smart, sur geon, was in attendance with galvanic apparaps to render his services if required. The meeting of the poor fellows with their wives and families was truly af fecting, and a hymn of thanksgiving for their providen tial deliverance was sung. It is owing to a communica tion shaft being sunk from the top seam to the great seam, at a distance of thirty yards from the main shaft. that their miraculous preservation is to be attributed, the outlet from the great seam being blocked up by the rub bish fallen from the sides of the main shaft. ALLEGED MURDER. On Saturday Mr. Waltley, M.P., held a lengthened inquiry in the Middlesex Hospital, on Enoch Masters, a potice•constable of the D division, aged 21, who, it was alleged, was murdered under the following eircum stances:—John Allsop, 653 A, deposed that on the29th of May he arrested in Salisbury. street, Lisson-grove, a man named Bailey, who was rescued by a large mob at the time. That deceased, who had been only ten weeks in the force, was passim' to his home. Witness called upon the deceased to assist him, which he did, when the mob a,sailed them with stones and every species of mis sile. A labouring man knocked down the deceased with a blow on his mouth. A body of police arrived at this juncture, when the deceased and witness attempted to arrest the labouring man, whom the mob defended, riking deceased a blow on the back of his neck, which felled him to the gr,tand and quite stunn,:d him. The po lice arrested two men, but the party who assaulted the deceased escaped. Mr. George Corfe, resident surgeon, said that deceased was brought to the hospital on Satur day, and was treatedlor apoplexy, produced by a blow or fall. Everything was (lobe fur him, but he gradually sank, until 'fbursday, when he died. Witness made a post-mortem examination. There was no external vio lence uu the body. There was a large abscess on the lower part of the spine, which was wholly diseased, and bad been so for at least twelve months. The spinal cord was inflamed, and the diseased state of the spinal marrow caused death, which was hastened by the violence deceased had endured. Mr. Wilson, assis tant.surgeon to the police, saw the deceased the morning after the violence was inflicted. His lips were bruised and smashed, and ho complained of pains in his head. lie never before complained of illness. He was kept on reserved duty until the sth of June, when he got so bad that he was released from all duty, and on Saturday last was s ent to the hospital. He (Mr. Wilson) assisted at the post m o rtem exaministion,.and agreed in opinion with Mr. Corfe as to the cause of death. Inspector Porter gave deceased the highest character for discipline and humanity. The Coroner summed up, and the jury re turned the following verdict—" Deceased died from the mortal effects of talimmation of the spinal marrow, but how the said inflammation was caused there is no evi dence to prove. Deceased was to have been married the same week. ALARMING ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—The quarter-past ten o'clock train on Saturday from Euston-square, whtu on its way northwards, about two miles beyond Wolverton,, met with an accident, fortunately unattended with serious injury to any one, but which for a moment excited the must serious alarm. From some unex plained cause the luggage' on the top of one of the carriages caught flue, and the flames spread with great rapidity. In one of the compartments orthe next carriage behind it were seated Mr. Paxton, Mr. Bass, M.P., and Mr. Cochrane, the active superintendent in the building of the Crystal Palace, and Mr. Crampton, the engineer of the Submarine Telegraph Company from Dover to Calais. These gentlemen were on their way to share in the dinner given to Mr. Fox, at Derby, and while chatting pleasantly together were suddenly startled by hearing shrieks and seeing flakes of fire drifted across the windows of their compartment. Mr. Cramp ton guessing what was the matter, and comprehending at once the danger, with a coolness and daring highly praisewcrthy, opened the door, and leaping from carriage to carriage by the aid of the footbridge, made his way past that which was in flames, and was approaching the engine, when he was observed by the guard and driver, who, as soon as possible, stopped the train. In the meantime his compa nions had a narrow escape of it, for the flames found their way into the compartment which he had left open, and set the clothes of the inmates on tire in several places. They had the greatest difficulty in extinguishing the sparks and flakes of tire that had found their way in, but beyond some singes and a blister or two no personal injury was suffered. Had it not been for Mr. Crampton's presence of mind, how ever, very melancholy consequences might have resulted. Perhaps, when the ingenious conceiver of the Crystal Palace had been reduced to ashes some measures might have been taken to secure the long-desiderated mesas 01 communica tion between driver and guard of which this is another ex ample. As it was, all the passengers were greatly fright ened and several had to deplore the destruction of their lug gage. HER. MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE CITY.—The deco rations of the Guildhall are proceeding rapidly, under the direction of the City architect, Mr. Bunning, and in a few days more this vast chamber will present one of the most magnificent scenes it is posible to conceive. Great interest has already been excited among the public, and applica tions to view the progress of the works have been so nu?ne runs that the committee are compelled to give a unit lin denial to all, in order that the progress of the workmen may not be impeded. The arrangements tor the reception of the Queen and her Royal Consort have been completed. Her Majesty, instead of alighting at the front of the Guildhall, will pass Ono egh the entrance to the law c Hurts, and them.ce by a handsomely-decorated corridor, to a chamber at the east end of the hall, which will be titted up as her Ma jesty's robing room. The exsct period at which her Ma j sty will ar,ive has not been det.erinined upon at present; nut a strong hope is entertained that the Koval visit will he made before the shades of evening have set fn. Time Queen will proceed in semi state—that is, in the same man ner iu which tier Majesty opened the Great Exhibition, troops of the Life Gu4rds keeping the line of road. The Artillery Company will form the guard of honour at Guild hall. Messrs. Staple~, of the Albion, who furnished the dejeuner on the occasion of opening the Royal Exchange, have undertaken to supply the supper and retreshments. It is understood that about 2.500 invitations will be issued. and of that number it is said the members of the common council claim nearly I,' 00. It has been hinted that the jurors of the Great Exhibition are not likely to be included in the list of invitations. It is to be hoped that this deci sion, if really arrived at, will not be persevered in. It is fully expected that the route of the Royal coqeye will be inuninated by the tradesmen along the line.—Morning Paper. - - DIORAMA OF TILE HOLY LAND, EGYPTIAN lIALL.—The following members of the aristocracy and gen try have recently visited the above sacred painting :—The Duchess of Buccleuch and party, the Duchess of St. Albans, accompanied by the youthful and Lady Diana Beauclerk, the Duke of Northumberland (fourth time), the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland and party, the Duke of Newcastle, the Marquis and Marchioness of Douglas, the Marquis of Worcester, the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury and party, the Earl of Cardigan, Earl Howe, the Earl and Coun tess of Morley and party, the Earl of Carlisie, the Earl of Clare, Earl Jermyn, his Excellency M.

SIR,—Tu-day's races will terminate somewhat dif ferently to what I imagined they would on Friday last, when I first dotted down my notes on the Newcastle Meeting. I'ITSFORD will win the First Triennial Pro duce Stakes; 1118 MAID OF LIME FILLY or THE SHEL TIE the Tyne Stakes, with Stratagem well up; Tom Hoe Trot or UNITY the Convivial Handicap, the Maid of Masham,if she runs, being close up; FERN the Iluivers' Stakes; and JOE S UTHERLAND or FERN the Maiden Plate. The racing commences at half-past two; the races will be run in the order I have placed them, and as there will be an interval of half an hour between them, the above information will be published in time to secure the attention of some of the " late birds" in the market. The King of Frumps will secure the trick for the Tyro Sr,elies to-morrow, Paddy Bird or 'l'hemistocles second, with Sir Charles Napier and Agnes Wicktield clone up. The Northumbw laud Plate, in all .prob►btlity, will be contested by Uriel, 5 yrs, 7st 121 b; Testator, 5 yre, 6st 121 h; Ebor, 4 yrs, 6 , b; Jenny Lind. 4 yrs , 6 3t 41b; Toe Cutler, 3 )rs, 51t 81u; or Knook Knoll, 3 yrs, sst; England's Glory, 3 yrs, 5,t 61b; Louis Napoleon, 3 yrs, 5,t 61b; Neasham, 3 yrs, sst 41b (D); Jack Leeming, 3 yrs, 4st 101 b; and Cyclops, 3 yrs, 4,t 81u. Another or two may run, but possess not the ghost of a chance of altering the result; which, I fancy, will be in favour of Uriel, Testator, or Jenny Lind; TESTATOR for choice; with England's Glory and Neaahala (if they fancy running him on such a hard course) immediately in the rear of the winner. They 'nay run past the post thus— TESTATOR or I:BIEL ENGLAND'S GLORY or ?. 2 NEASLIAM JENNY LIND 3 AZETH, I presum., will ditto his performance of last year by winning the Second Triennial Pro duce Stakes. PITSFORD ought to win the Guineas. The Free Handicap on Wednesday will have some seven or eight runners, with NANCY or WAL LACE the winner. GULLIVER, howe • ver, is worth a trifling investment, for he will be there or thereabout. The Third Triennial Produce Stakes will go to Evadne or Young Hawthorn , former for choice: - I shall decline selecting the winner of the North Derby to-day, some doubts existing as to the starting of several animals. The Corporation Plate will be influenced by previous events, but the winner, I calculate, will come out of Dawson's stable. On Thursday we shall have COLSTERDLLE No. 1 for the Gateshead or Lottery Stakes, withPandemus or the Cutler second. The Members' Plate Handicap I should award to one of the following three:—Abdallab, 4 yrs, Est 91b; OXFORD BLUE, 4 yrs, Gst 91b; or, THE CUTLER, 3 yrs, sst Leib; the last two for choice. The Gold Cup will have THE MAID OF MASHI3I or URIEL first; with, pe- irhaps, Jack Leeming third. THE FARMER'S BOY reads the best on paper for the Grand Stand Stakes. The latest betting (up to 1 o'clock) this morning is as follows:—First Triennial-3 to 1 on Pitsford. Tyne Stakes-6 to 4 on The Sheltie. Convivial Handicap -2 to 1 agat Unity; 4 to 1 agst Brennus.

AQUA I'IUS THE HAMProN ANNUAL REGATTA. This regatta took place ou Sa`urday, and owing to the fineness of the day there was a large attendance ut visitors, both on the river and on shore. The first race dreaded was— The Landsman Pair Oars Match. First Heat. Thomas Sadgwick and Charles Griffin...(Dark Blue) 1 William Hill and F. Clarke (Black and Red) 2 James Tagg and W. Luker . (Blue and White) 3 Trio winners took the lead, r ounded the fieg-post first by a couple of lengths, and won a good head by about three lengths; the same between s econd and third. Second Heat. James Tagg and Wm. Luker (Blue and White) 1 Frederick Clarke and Wm. Hi 11...... (Black and Red) 2 Wun easy. Blue at starting got a clear lead of a length, was never afterwards cau g ht, and came in first by about half a dozen lengths. Grand Heat. Charles Griffin and Thomas Sedwick James Tagg and W. Luker The winners were the last to get off, but they soon ove rhauled their opponent s, and came in first easily by about five or siz lengths. A punting match followed, in which James Watkins and Alfred Goddard won the first heat, and John Snell and John Tagg the second ; but owin g to a wrangle with the losing boats , t he last heat w as not g oee through, the first and second agreeing to divide the two prizes. There were two scullers matches, on e for f ree water men, and the other fur apprentices on the ca r d f or de cision, but they were not decided re fusing to row or to let their apprenti the Waterman cesdothelike , be cause they objeoted to their prize being no more in amo unt than that of their apprentices. THAMES UNITED CLUBS' " SCRATCHED" MATCH. A very agreeable race under * this title—calculated to promote a kindly and of various gentlemanly feeling amongst ama teursday evening ; the , clubs, came off at a Into hour on Satur day delays Longest day, in a duo consideration to which invariabl suchmatches, having y beset been appropriately chosen for the occasion. First Heat. Messrs. Biddle, Ireland, Fiber, Henderson, Playford, Dearward, Revell, Purdie, and Woodlock, steerer. Messrs, Smallfield, Iles, M'Lenti, A. Wellack, Bishop, Williams, Smith, A.

Mr. Lung's crew of the Argonauts 1 Mr. Creet ni s crew Mr. Rule's crew The latter rowed wi bout a bowman, he being from some cause absent, but nevertheless succeeded in making so good a third that scarcely a length divided them from the =wend boat.

DEPARTURE OF THE AFRICA —On Saturday, at two o'clock, P.M., the British and 2Corzh American Royal Mail steam-ship Africa, Captain Ryrie, left the Mersey for pped from England pas! , engers, and New York direct, with the mails, about 8u one of the most valuable cargoes ever shi to the United States. The wind and weather were bath favourable, and she proceeded to sea amidst the,cheers of a numerous concourse of spectators, after a passing salute of four g ens to her tender the Satellite. GREENWICH ELECTION.—On Saturday Joshua Morris, Esq., the returning officer for the borough of Green wich, pursuant to precept from the High Sheriff for the county of Kent, gave notice that the nomination of a fit and proper person to represent the borough of Greenwich in P ar _ liament, in the room of the late Mr. Barnard, would take place at ten o'clock on Thursday morning, the 26th inst., a n the hustings, in front of St. Mary's Church, Greenwich. A numerous meeting of the supporters of Alderman Wire took place on Saturday evening, at the Greyhound Tavern; the friends of Alderman Salomon* assembled at the Stags. The great and nearly complete agreement in the political princi ples of the two aldermen almost reduces the electors to seek the grounds of their preference in the more personal qualifications of the candidates. A very large number who would have supported Alderman Salomons a year ago, in the present posture of 'affairs object to a candidate who would feel himself precluded from supporting the Govern ment in its endeavours to repress the attempts of the Romish ecclesiastics to establish an arrogant despotism in the name of liberty. Others well disposed towards Alderman Salo mons, and giving him full credit for the intention he has expressed of claiming and taking his seat in the House of Commons if elected, look at the actual state of the law, and fear that his return would Practically prove the loss of a representative to Greenwich. Mr. Wire has the advan tage of living in the borough. His votes upon all generfd questions, it is urged, would be su c h as his rival would give, while he would be free to support Lord John Russell's anti- Papal measure. A RUNAWAY TOWN CLERIC.—The greatest ex citement prevails in Tunbridge 'Wells in consequence of Benjamin Sears, the town clerk, having absconded. It ap pears that he has obtained money to the amount of above 2,000/. by discounting very recently, and that many respect able inhabitants of the town who placed confidence in hi m will be brought to the verge of ruin. He was collector of assessed taxes, town clerk, collector of the gas and water companies, and held other appointments. It is reported he is a defaulter in almost every instance, and a warrant has • been issued for his apprehension, and placed in the hands 'eft Mr. Superintendent Moreton. A search warrant, it is said, has also been granted to enable the officer to examine the premises of a relative in London. Sears is .uspected of being in the metropolis, and Superintendent Moreton speaks con fidently of finally bringing him to justice. His income ex ceeded COI. a year. A JI iD I' POISONED BY MISTAKE.—DOVER, SATURDAY.—A feeling of much concern has prevailed in this town bylaw following painful occutreuce :—For several weeks past Airs. Eliza Prickett, the lady of George Prickett, Esq., of Castle street, in this town, had been suffering from some malady which required the application of liniment, the usual caution being given by the medical man who supplied it. On Wednesday the lady was additionally indisposed, and Mr. Sankey, surgeon, prescribed an anodyne mixture. He left directions that, on requiring the mixture. she should ring a bell which mmunicated with Mr. Pricket t's apart ment, and that he would then come and administer it. In stead of doing so, however, she rose during the night and took in mistake a large portion of the liniment. The stomach pump was applied, and various restoratives, but she dital a under the effects of the dose. The coroner's jury returned a verdict " That the deceased was poisoned by inadvertently taking a liniment containing morphine." THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY DINNER.— The contract for supplying this dinner, which will be pro vided fur '2,000 persons, and take Place about the 15th of July, in a pavilion now being erected in the Home Park, has been given to DL Soyer, whose - .tender, in reply to the ad vertisement of the society, has been accepted by the com. mittee. This decision has occasioned no small disappoint ment to the good people of Windsor, some of whom had made offers to the committee, and who, on the grcuud of their liberal contribution in aid of the expenses incurred by the preparations for the cattle-show, conceived themselves entitled to reap all the incidental benefits of the display. They will, however, have small room for complaint, since they cannot fail to profit largely by the crowds of visitors who will be attracted to Windsor and its vicinity on the dc easion.—SundayPapert AN AMERICAN CLOCK.—Some rascal has stolen a Connecticut. clock from the Xou: York Mirror office. Where upon the editor reniarki: -" All we have to say ir, that the clock never went lnybre, and hut for the principle involved in the case we should say nothing about it." LACE.—We cannot report any iinprovvment in any department of the multitudinous articles made under thus head, except, perhaps, a little more dtmand fur silk laces, for which we anticipate au improved business during the season, as they have become a necessary article of ornament to the dress of all ladies who desire to be in the fashion. All descriptions of lace made of cotton are in very moderate re. quest—a circumstance not at all unusual during the height of summer. —...Voltiughant Journal. MR. PAXTON, ARCHITECT OF THE CRYSTAL PALACE. —Some thirty years ago, a young man, a gardener, who worked for 12s. a week at a garden near the Duke of Devonshire's villa at Chiswick, five miles west of Hyde park, said or did something which offended the master gardener, and was turned oft He was standing unem ployed one day near the Duke's garden gate. His Grace, in passing, spoke to him, entered into familiar conversation, ascertained that he was a journeyman gardener out of work, and walking into the garden, the young man with him, was pleased with his intelligence and manners; not the manners of a sycophant sneaking up to the side of a nobleman with sycophantish words, but the manners of an intelligent man who knew his profession, and could speak about it unembarrassed to another, no matter whom. The Duke asked him to call at Devonshire House the next day, and the young man did, and the call resulted in his being sent down to Chatsworth, in Derbyshire. Ther• he soon made way, and reached, as a practical and scientific gar. slener, the very head of his profession, which position he had Ling maintained before he was know❑ to the world as Mr. Paxton, thie,atfzts.,:tlotnhenoCwrypstraelvaPialaarce. at Scuhcishwwiceks: according to t at(nnid,sach(omuntetxhieunHworittir tliituerDalaGae.irdoinus,etenli i it ; re in ._ o m f AttiirilasXte; Examiner.
