London is an attraction i n it o s r e i lk y a o n f d a n f e r e e d i s ue n n o t y i h si e t. adjunct of any minor feature to render it w But never was the metropolEis.,hstibnicteloints, t e h x a i t ste s n ta c r e, o s f o a f t u t l r l ac of ti tractions as now. The Great at tractions with its numerous satellites, has provided the s i i t g h ht a -s f e e e a r s , t t n h e e ve o r l b ea e : sure-seeker, and the lover of art and science, lv fore equalled. In every direction are attractions held out ; and the resident, as well as the visitor, is left in perplexity as to which should patronize first, after visiting the Palace in the Park a ttraction he . Added to the attractions alluded to are those of trade in general, and those of 'WAD& and CO. in particular. lIYAM and CO. have a Gran d Ex p osition of their own, which, although not superintended by a " Royal Commission," or an" Exe cutive Committee," has attractions which well deserve the patronage of all who appreciate the advantages of fashionable, durable, novel, and cheap articles of dress. The attractions at lIYAM and CO.'s Establishments, 86, Oxford street, and 3s, Graeechurch-street, are of no common order; but display a peculiarity and excellence far surpassing those in other directions of the trade. Knowing that much would be looked for, lIYAM and CO. hays prepared much, and hence that amount of support which they in creasingly experience, and for which they feel so grateftal to their numerous and various supporters. The Summer Stock of lIYAM and CO. consists of many new styles, not only in material, but in design and general finish. The elegant and e asy fitting lounging Jackets, the graceful Paletots, are all new, or re-desigued for the season, and cannot fail to be classed among the attractions of London. The Stock of lIYAM and CO., as a whole, is undoubtedly one of the highest description ; and the fact that cheapness is the founda tion-stone of the proprietors' system, will, it is hoped, secure for HYAII and CO. a large share of public notice and patronage in this Bess ri of extraordinary attractions.

Capital-500,0001. (Incorporated under 7 and S Vict., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office are—Moderate and equitable Rates 01 Premium for each class or rist —A.nnual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion rremium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap goached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the tree Premium equitably payable, as security against less for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to tirre, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fitly per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clasen.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW' COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in Englanf, and but two in Ireland—one for 500/. and the other for 2601.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1449, and the 31st of May, 1650, was more than double the number issued in the twelve mouths preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Pelicies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. gixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape or premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last. assurance were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 125 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. I is. 6d. 01 these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,99 c. 15s. 11d. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,183/. 11s. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de l'Etaug, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con. siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects.

ALEXANDER ROBERTSON, Manager. th rs at tls eve A ry l AIiA A N C O I - b i o l d N y invention L th L t AB f Ult e . can doubt ve labour usually supplied by men is for the moment injurious to the labourers it displaces, but in the long run it leads to the employment of a larger number. Every improvement temporarily injures a class. The railroads deprived thousands of coachmen, guards, and horse kepeeri of employment, but there are now more drivers, conductors, and horse -keepers than ever there were in the good old times of four horse coaches, while there has been tens of thonsands of labourers employed in forming the railroads, and nearly :is many permanently employed as porters, police, station-masters, and clerks, to say no- Piing of the enOteers employed constantly in making engines, and afterards drivin them ; in short, it must be borne in mind that all the m w illions expended on railroads waS spent in l a bour. The very ironstone in the bowels of the earth, was worthless until raised by labour, converted into iron by labour, formed into rail, ant wheels, and carriage springs by labour, and all in our own country Look at the mills and machinery employed in making cloth. The effect was to make cloth better and cheaper than when it was all done by hand, and this very improvement in cloth caused thousands to be employed in making it up. Step into the gigantic establishment of E. MOSES and SON, and you will see more good clothes than you would expect all London contained. Consider the hundreds that are constantly emple3 ed by that firm alone, and its vast importance will at onc ofe be apparent. By adopting a system of buy in g largely, by means a large capital, and keeping hundreds of the best hands constantly employed, they have accomplished one of the most inwortant changes that was ever knows. Adopting besides all this a plan of taking small profits, they have placed every man in a position to command, however limited his income, good clothing appropriate 'o his situation, while the higher classes may, by paying cash, save nearly half of the amount which they used to be charged for ordi nary-dress, and the more extravagant they are the more they save, whether it be in their own dress or that of their livery servants. The officers in the army, navy, and civil service can save forty per cent. in their outfits, and be better served ; in fact, every article of dress, from the most costly to the most econom!Cal, is equally cheap at the price charged, and their warehouses are at this moment heavily stocked with every variety of summer fashion, adapted for all classes, while the facilities they possess enable them to measure and make up any quantity of clothes in an incredibly short time.

Early yesterday morning the Commissioners of the City Police received instructions from the legal officers of the Corporation to take possession of the ruins, and the remaining standing portion of Messrs. Bell and Cor bet's premises in Gracechurch-street, until they had undergone thorough inspection by surveyors and other competent persons appointed for the purpose. This order was immediately carried into effect. A body of constables cleared every person off the property; all access to it was closed, and no one was permitted beyond the barriers under any circumstances, except those in structed to inquire into the cause of the accident. At three o'clock in the afternoon the inquiry com menced. There were present Mr. Alderman Lawrence, a builder; Mr. Cubitt, M.P., the newly elected alderman for Langbourne Ward; Mr. Montague, the City sur veyor; Mr. Woodthorpe, Mr. Stephens, the district sur veyor; Mr. Tress, and several others. There were also present Mr. Bell, of Pope's Head-alley, one of the proprietors of the property ; his assistant architect; and the superintendent of the works. From a plan of the various floors and the works in general much information was gleaned regarding the true de scription and character of the building. As the public are cognizant of the magnitude of the erection, it is ne cessary to state that there was not a wooden beam in the whole structure. Each of the 140 apartments in the place was made fireproof, the flooring and ceiling being composed of twelve inches work of solid cement. These were supported by iron joists, or girders, each 16 feet long, and nearly 40 cwt. in weight. There could not have been less than 3,000 of them, besides other girders of almost three times their weight, imbedded in the walls,on which the smaller were tied or secured. These large beams were " locked" to the main walls by bolts running through and rivetted on the outer side. Con sequently, the whole fabric may be said to have been tied together like a spider's cobweb. Many expressed surprise that the entire place was not dragged to the ground, but the only portion that fell was the centre (about fifty feet by forty); the frontage in Gracechurch street, and the portion abutting on Ball's-court, Lom bard-street, remaining entire. The frontage has not bulged out as represented; the surveyors, it is said, con sider it perfectly safe. Along the whole length of the four floors ran passages, the doors to the chambers being on each side of them. These were gained by two flights of stairs, one about the centre of the building, and the other at the western extremity. It was in the centre one where the mischief com menced. Here were four immense girders, each two tons weight, nearly twenty feet long, fixed across the staircase, opening on a well-hole, on each of the four floors, the ends bearing in the walls, and locked to the longitudinal girders. They were intended to support the stone steps and part of the flooring of the passages; but this part of the work had not been commenced. The one that broke, and produced the fearful consequences so much lamented, was the uppermost on the fourth floor. It had been fixed some days, and the walls had been carried up to the height ',required to receive the roof. According to Mr. Bell's statement to the City surveyors he saw it perfect on Saturday morning, when he went over the works with Mr. King, the superin tendent, and found everything apparently safe and pro gressing to his satisfaction. An attempt w as ma d e to discover the cause of the girder breaking. This was found impracticable, as the broken fragments lay embedded in the ruins. The people employed on the works say they are confident there was no weight on the girder to cause it to break, and express an opinion that it must have arisen from a flaw in the casting. It seems that Messrs. Bell and Corbel possess certificates, showing that the whole of the iron joists and girders employed in the building were properly tested and warranted. At a late hour the surveyors retired from the ruins to, es we understood, draw up a report to present at the coroner's inquest, which is fixed for ten o'clock this day (Tuesday) at the London 'Tavern. We are desired to contradict the statement made in yesterday's paper, of two more bodies having been dug out of the ruins, after the finding of the remains of Matthew Cromer. Such is not the case. Another death; however, was announced to the police authorities yes terday. It was that of a labourer named Timothy Donohoe, aged 42. He was suppose d by his comrades not to have been on the building at the time of the acci dent, but it appears he was on the top, and was one of the unfortunate creatures who were precipitated to the ground with the walls and floor when they fell. He was got out by some strangers, and taken to St. Bartho lomew's Hospital, where he died almost immediately. The other sufferers (four in number dead) are Martin Cromer, James Horrogan, Matthew Cromer, and Joseph Hanley. Those lying at St. Thomas's Hospital, with the ex ception of one, Timothy Sullivan (whose case is pro nounced by the medical officers hopeless) are going on favourably. Most of them were married, and their families are in want of relief. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE . THE EAST INDIA AND CHINA STATIONS. The Commander.in-Chief, Rear-Admiral Austen, C. 8., in his flag-ship Hastings, 72, Captain Austen, in tow of the Sphynx, 6, steam•sloop, Commander Shad well, arrived at Trincomalee on the Bth of April. The Commodore, Captain Lambert, in the Fox, 42, arrived at Trincomalee on the 9th April. Salamander, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Ellman, ar rived at Trincomalee on the 2d April, from Moulmein. Reynard, 12, screw-sloop, Commander Cracroft, and Lily, 12, Commander Barker, were daily expected. The above ships were ordered to assemble at Moul mein for the purpose of forming a court-martial to in quire into certain charges against Captain Baker, for having, in his passage from Portsmouth to the station, turned some naval apprentices ashore at Ascension. Sphynx had been cogaged in conveying two com panies of the 37th Regiment, with some men of the Royal Artillery and gun-lascars, to Colombo from Trinco malee • taking back two companies of the 15 th, some of the Trinco malee; Rifles to reinforce the detachment there, and some of the Royal Artillery at the latter place. CHINA.—The following men-of-war were in the China seas March 30:—Cleopatra, 26, Captain H. L. Massie; Enterprise, discovery ship, Captain Collinson, C. 8.; Royalist, 6, surveying vessel, Commander Bate; Minden and Alligator, at Hong-Kong; Contest, 12, Commander Hon. J. W. Spencer, at Shanghai; Pilot, 12, Commander Hickley, at Whampoa; Serpent, 12, Commander Luard, at Amoy. THE MEDITERRANEAN STATION. The Commander-in-Chief, Sir William Parker, Bart., G.C.8., received at Malta intelligence of his pro motion to be full admiral, on the 10th inst., and hoisted his flag, blue at the main, in the Queen, 110, Captain Wise, under the customary salutes. The Governor of Malta took his departure under sa lutes and manned yards, in the Merlin steam-packet, on the 13th, en route to England, via Marseilles. The public, funeral of the late Captain Knox, of the Firebrand steam-frigate, took place at Malta on the even ing of the 2d inst. A court of inquiry has lately taken place on board the Albion, 90, Captain Hope Johnstone, on Mr. Fraser, a midshipman, who had committed an assault on Mr. Bulgio, a clerk of the Ganges, 84, Captain Smith, C. 8., a few evenings previous. The captains of the Albion and the Ganges formed the court. On their report the young gentleman was directed to make a public apology to Mr. Bulgin or. board the Ganges before the officers of that ship, six gentlemen of the gun-room of the Albion, two lieutenants, and the commander. Owing, however, to the posture Mr. Fraser assumed, Captain Smith felt compelled to decliue accepting the apology, feeling himself treated with contempt. Mr. Fraser was sent back to his ship, and a further report made to the admiral. Caledonia, 120, Captain Carter, left Malta on the sth instant for England. She was accompanied by the Fire brand steam-frigate, Captain Codd, which had instruc tions to proceed in company to the south-west of Sar dinia, in order to assist her by towing or otherwise, as might be necessary. On the following morning the Porcupine steam-vessel, commanded by Lieutenant Bacon, of the Caledonia, and manned by part of her crow, left Malta for Gibraltar and England, where she will be paid off. S CATHERINE HAYES'S CONCERT AT THE HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS. .Yesterday morning Miss Catherine Hayes , the En g lish prim , , donna assoluta, who is, we are sorry to say, about to leave our shores for America, gave a g rand, and we fear we must add a farewell, concert at the LiailOVer square Rooms. The audience was ono of the most crowded and most brilliant ever assembled within these walls, and the reception of the fair beneficiairc was most enthusiastic. Never have we seen Miss Catherine Hayes look better, never have we heard her sing more y. Her voic e deliciously than she did yesterda seems to have acquired greatly i ncre ased power since last season, and her rendering of the " Ah mon file," from the Prop/tete, was a miracle of ex quisite musical expression; her lower tones were exceed ingly rich, and told with immense eff he conch s in this splendid cavatina. But the great triumph of thrt was tho " Caste Diva," from Norma. Never have n we heard Miss iss Catherine Hayes sing mo re exquisitely; er have heard this chef d'iruvre of Bellini more perfectly ren dered. She gave the slow movement with m imense ex pression, dignity, and pathos; and her execution of the cabaletta was the very perfection of florid vocalization; her //tonere was wonderful alike for its taste and its e xecution. The p. blame at the conclusion wag rapturously enthusiastic. Beautifully did she give the exquisite duet, " Da quel from Linda, with liar Reichert, and Mori 's new ballad, "Come, where sweet-toned Zephyrs," was quite made b by the delicious voc alization of Miss Catherine llaye must be a fortune to a young composer to have hiss.prot ductiDns so introduced to the public. This the musical also worthy of note, as having introduced to th c the youngest son of i th l e public Mr. Augustus Braham, great tenor. Mr. Augustus Braham 's voice is a light tenor o f g reat sweetness , flexibility, and ex pression, and of co nsid erable power also. He sang the `'Tutto e sciolto " from the Sonnambula with great expression, and afterwards gave a Scotch ballad very tastefully. We are inclined to prognosticate a brilliant career for Mr. Augustus 13raham. Mademoiselle Ana Zerr, prima Aim of the Opera of Vienna, appeared for the first time in England at this concert. Her voice is a soprano, the compass of which is three complete oc taves; its flexibility is marvellous, and her performance of an air v;trie was one of the most wonderful displays of vocal execution ever witnessed. Paganini himself never produced more astounding effect on hi s violin than did Mademoiselle Ana Zerr with her voice. The other singers were Herr Mengis, Herr Reichert, M. Jules Stockhausen, and Miss Bassano. Ernst performed a fantasia on the violin from the Otello in the most ex quisite manner imaginable, and afterwards excited the laughter of his audience by his humorous rendering of the "Carnaval de Venise." Madame Parish Alvars was much and deservedly applauded for the admirable man ner in which she performed a fantasia on the harp, and Signor Bottesini gave a solo on the contra basso, which is as extraordinary and as perfect of its sort as the solos of Baumann on the bassoon. The orchestra, which was full and complete, was led by Mr. Willy, and the concert was conducted by M. Lav e nu. We have seldom as sisted at a more brilliant concert. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Legitimatists, headed by MM. BEERIER and DE FALLonx, have determined to support any mo tion for a revision of the Constitution, and, at the same time, to oppose the re-election of Louts Nero- LEON. They have published a manifesto to this effect in the Union. In commenting on this manifest the Sicle says : " Well, gentlemen in favour of the prolongation of powers, and you, the President df the Republic, who swore to restore intact to your successor, the Constitu tion, what do you say? Have you read the insolent manifesto published yesterday? Of what use has it been to you to have decided on the expedition to Rome, to have had M. Berryer amongst your councillors, and to have carried Count de Montalembert in your carriage through France. You have allowed, in spite of your selves, the Constitutionnel to over and over again ask for the abrogation of Art. 111 of the Constitution. Your Procureurs have allowed that journal to ask, per fas et nefas, for the prolongation of your powers. The Legitimate party profits by it. What we announced relative to the decision of M. de Falloux was true. Not only are you repulsed, and refused any countenance, but the standard is raised against the Republic. The Legi timatist party has decided to votefor the total revision of the Constitution, and, in advance, it is declared that that vote will be one in favour of Henry V. If you have not read, read. It is the Union, the most respectable of the Legitimatiet journals, which gives the ultimatum of the party. Thus, no peace, no truce, no adjournment, is what the Legitimatists declare. The time has gone over when the question related to the prolongation of powers. It is above all of you that apprehension is felt. His Ma jesty, Henry V., signifies to France, through M. Ber ryer, to receive the Monarchy in September or October without more delay. And yet it is the agents of the Ministry of the Interior, the Prefects, and Sub-Prefects who are the first to agitate the country in favour of the revision. Wo have full proof of the matter, and when the proper moment arrives we shall publish them. From a partial revision the total revision has been arrived at. It is no longer a question of temporising by extending the powers of the President; the matter is now simply to bring back his Majesty, Henry V., under the pretext that every one is in favour of a change." At a meeting of the Republican Members of the Assembly, held on Saturday, the following resolution was adopted : "The members of the Ripublicsin and Democratic Opposition, assembled togethW, declare that in presence of the law of May 31, which suppresses three millions of electors, and substitutes a restricted suffra &for ur4- versal suffrage, in presence of the` agiVintili e cull i tailed the rights and liberties of` the people, co ti ering that all the projects of revision which have been brought forward-. are evldvtly intended not to ameliorate the Constitution, bet 'fo endsnar the Republic—considering all this, the said members Ueclare that they.are unani mously of opinion that every project of revision ought to 'be opposed" p i There was nit mdcl2- business transacted at.- tbe Norse, tut the prices were firm, and the File per Cents. closed at an advance of 30c. as compared with - the closing prices of Saturday The *Five per Centl. opened at 90f. 15c., and closed at 90f. 35c. ; the Three per Cents. closed at 56f. l'sc.

SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 14th have arrived. The Count DE ST. LUIS (SARTORIUS), who WAS Minister of the Interior under NARVAEZ, has been ordered to quit the electoral district of Priego, pro vince of Cuenqa. GERMANY. The paragraph from a German journal announcing the death of the Duchess DE LEUCUTENBERG, widow of Don PEDRO, was erroneous. The Duchess DE LEUCUTENBERG, who died at Munich on the 13th, was the daughter of King MAXIMILIAN of Bavaria, and widow of Prince EUGENE, Viceroy of Italy. After the events of 1815, the Vice-Queen retired to Munich. The eldest son of the deceased, the Duke DE LEUCHTENBERG, is in Russia ; her eldest daughter is Queen of SWEDEN, the second daughter, the widow of Don PEDRO, is in Portugal, and the third daughter is in Wurtemberg, married to one of the members of the Royal Family. We read in the Patrie :—" The Augsburg Gazette, and some other German journals, persist in affirming that the King of DENMARK, yielding to the wishes of Austria, consents to enter with all his states into the Germanic Confederation. We are enabled to de clare that this statement is destitute of foundation." HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, MAY 19.—Accounts from Stuttgardt state that the QUEEN will leave that city on the 17th for Nassau, and other watering-places, for the benefit of her health, which is still very indifferent. The Amsterdam Courant says :—" In regard to the important Government plans of effecting a juncti(in between the Belgian and Netherlands Railways, both states have already appointed the Government engi neers to draw up the plans." GREECE. We have received Athens journals of the Bth. The Senate rejected on the 3d, by 19 votes to 16, a Bill presented by the Ministers, relative to the tinancEs ; and, in consequence, the QUEEN, by a decree dated the 6th, prorogued the Chambers for forty days.

SIR,—A great many of the " early birds" were out with the lark this morning on the Downs, to watch the movements of the numerous horses out at exercise, my correspondent among the number, which enables me (an I can rely upon his judgment and eyes as well as my own) to lay before you the following, in some instances, no doubt, startling facts. Among the earliest horses out was the quondam crack, the Prime Minister, who. in the company of the Sister to Wanota, took a rattling gallop. He looked uncommonly well; was, as has been before remarked, rather fleshy; has not grown much since last year; is a low horse, possessing large strong quarters, stands about 15 hands 2i inches, and is very muscular. He is a quick starter, but very fidgetty. It is asserted that he cannot stay the distance: I have some doubts on the point, but still think he is good enough to be one of the first three, if not theabsolute winner. Aaron Smith, from the same stable, looked much improved upon his Warwick form. The Marlborough Buck and Eloot at tracted a good deal of attention; the former was much admired, he took a strong gallop; the latter had a gentle canter and disappeared. Hernandez was not thought much of; he, however, is the picture of perfection so far as condition is concerned. Buckhound makes the run ning for him. Brother to Chanticleer is a strong, com pact, importation from the sister isle; he took strong ex ercise, and pulled up fresh. Lord Eglinton's couple were out some time, both took a stiff spin, and looked particularly blooming; neither will win the Derby. Heart -1 b rea ker's style of mounting t he hill was capital; he ' l l run forward in the race. Guy Mannering and Pay ment were also out, the latter, reported to have broken down, took gentle exercise, and may yet convince her opponents in the ring that her chance on Friday is no hoax. Hesse Homburg looked and went well, as did Catalpa, Lamartine, Louis Napoleon, Midas, Runnymede, Narcissus , Buckthorne, and the Black Doctor. The course, notwithstanding the numerous showers that fell yesterday, is rather hard than otherwise. The field for the great event of to morrow, will be composed, as near as I can possibly tell at the present moment, of the following:—The Prime Minister, The Marlborough Buck (Whitehouse), Hernandez (Nat), Teddington (Maroon), Heartbreaker (Butler er Bartholomew), Theseus (S. Rogers), Lamar tine, Mountain Deer (A. Day), Neasham (Holmes), Midas (Norman), C ons t e ll a ti on (Templemaa), Glen hawk (Dock era 3). Telescope (Sly), Bonnie Dundee (Sharp), Ariosto, The Ban (Pearl), The Tout, Guy Mannering (probably Bartholomew), Hyppolytus (Marlow), Louis Napoleon (Prince), Newminster, Hun gerford (Fenn), The Black Doctor (Osborne), Runny mede, colt by Tearaway (Simpson), Bro to Chanti cleer, colt by Epirus, Azeth, Serus, England's Glory (Wintringham), Buckhound p kohoiiounndng o (Knitethheenfeorie,goainngd are e lac si k Douglass. My final follows:—Buckhound, England's Glory, Serus, Azeth, colts by Epirus and Tearaway, Runnymede, The Black Doctor, Hungerford, Newminater, Louis Napoleon, Guy Mannering, The Tout, The Ban, Ariosto, Telescope and Glenhawk, I find by my accounts from Epsom and Leathorhead this morning, are, one and all, to be turned into the hopeless class; NOT ONE OF THEM POSSESSING THE GHOST OF A CHANCE or WINNING ! Midas, Constellation, Neasham, Moun tain Deer, Hyppolytus, Bonnie Dundee, and Theseus, will form the foremost portion of the ruck; NOT ONE or THIS SECOND LOT BEING GOOD ENOUGH TO WIN ! " Oh! who can count—not Pindar's self — The names now put upon the shelf? Oh! waao can count the trembling hopes When Epsom all its glories opes?" Now for the first flight; it will, I fancy, consist of the Premier, the Buck, Hernandez, Teddington, Heart breaker, and Lamartine; one of this lot, I am convinced, must be the trump card to-morrow! As I remarked yesterday, " if The PRIME MINISTER fails me, I shall rely on HERNANDEZ and THE MARLBOROUGH BUCK to pull my judgment through triumphantly ; " fully ex pecting to see Teddington in the third or fourth position. with Heartbreaker and Lamartine close up. W ere Ito place them, it would be thus — THE PRIME MINISTER or 1 1 HERNANDEZ THE MARLBOROUGH BUCK 2 TEDDINGTON HEARTBREAKER 4 The latest betting this day at Epsom, up to half-past twelve, i -as follows:—Derby-10 to 5 agst Teddington; 13 to 2' t Hernandez; Bto 1 agst The Marlborough Buck; , 1 agst The Prime Minister; 16 to 1 eget t ot Vonstell ion; 16 to 1 agst Theseus; 25 to 1 agat Heartbreaker; 25 to 1 agat Lamartine; 25 to 1 egst Hyppolytus; 25 to 1 agat The Black Doctor; 50 to 1 agst Bonnie Dundee; 1000 to 15 apt Guy Mannering; 1000 toe agst Serus; 1000 to 5 agst Black Douglass.

SPORTING,INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. The transactions to-day, although within two days of the Derby, were limited in amount, and, except in two or three instances, without any material influence on the quotations. We may select the following horses as having been stro.igest in the market:—Tedding. ton, backed for several hundred pounds at 10 to 3 and 7 to 2, Marlborough Buck, Theseus, The Black Doctor, and Neasham. Hernandez arid Hippolytus maintained their positions, but were not in force. The Prime Minister opened at 8 to 1, went back a couple of points, rallied a little, and to fc off at 9 to 1, taken, hav ing, however, some determined opponents. Constella tion receded to 17 to 1, and left off almost friendless. Tee most wdie , able " outside" betting was against Glenhswk, Mr. Davis accommodating all customers at 1,000 to 10, until he had laid 50,0001. against him!
