DIABOLICAL ACT. DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE SIIEFFIELD BRANCH OF THE MIDLAND RAILWAY. RRIGHTON AND CHICHESTER. —The pile bridge (says the Brighton Herald) erected by the Brighton and Chichester Railway Company over the river Adur is completed, and the first engine passed over last Saturday, with a train of waggons laden with chalk, to finish the 9 road in the parish of Lancing. The railway, as far as Worthing, is 27s8d expected to be opened next mont h , and the whole line early in the 90 spring of ne x t y ear. Th e opening of the railway to the westward ,1 % will cause a great increase in the shipping trade of this port, and in 2% anticipation, the railway Directorehave ordered two more docks to be made at Kingston, with a large wharf between, so as to provide five more berths for vessels to lie in and discharge clear of the tide. _ The docks were comm at the bein of this week, the _ work will proceed with all enced possible dis g pat n ch ing . The Company Is and also _ enlarging one of their warehouses on the old wharf, to afford greater accommodation for the growing trade of the port. The Commissioners ..._ of the harbour made, during the present year, and are still making _ large outlays for the improvement of the harbour, widening and _ deepening the channels, more particularly in the western arm, which will soon be a good one to take, and a good one for berths for ships to lie in.

WELSH MIDLAND.—A meeting was held at Hereford on Thursday, _ for the purpose of explaining to the landowners the route and advan _ tages of this line. Amongst those present were, Viscount Hereford, Kin g King , Esq., High Sheriff of the county; James Davies, Esq., _ High Sheriff of the county of Radnor ; Sir Robert Price, Bart., 31.

Palmer Budd, of the Ystalyfera Iron Works, and Deputy - Chairman of the Company, said. coming out, as the Welsh Mid - land did, from the great manufacturing districts of south Wal es , taking Swansea, the great outlet into the Channel, the Harbour of _ Refuge, and the great seat of the copper trade in its route—coming _ by a main line up to Brecon, joining there with the Carmarthen and _ other lines, and in its course uniting with lines already existing in the _ mineral districts, - -it would by these means render the city of Her, - ford the great centre of railway accommodation, and afford the most 51 L direct course from th e manu f acturing districts of South Wales, and —'* from the agricultural counties of Hereford, Brecon, and Worcester, to the great railway system of the Midland Counties and the North of England. In addition to the straight line which would go from Here _ ford to Shrewsbury, th ere wou ld b e a direct line from Leominster to _ Kidderminster, where it would join the great railways to the north. _ He denied the assertion that the Welsh Midland accommodated two _ iron works only, the fact being that the Welsh Midland accommo _ dated the whole of the iron, copper, and tin trade in South Wales. Sir Robert Price, M.P., said that although he would not pledge him _ _ self to any line, yet both he and Mr. Pritchard would not offer any _ vexatious opposition to the Welsh Midland, if it did not injure their _ property. Mr. Bailey, M.P., said that, with regard to the different _ railway schemes which had sprung up for this particular district of _ the county, he had been solicited by almost all of them to take some _ active part in their promotion. After maturely considering which he _ thought would be best for the county of Hereford, he was induced to _join the Welsh Midland, because he thought it answered the wants _ and requirements of the county generally. Largely connected with _ the mining districts as he was, he could readily say that the Welsh _ Midland would fhlly meet all the wants of those important districts _ also. Mr. De Winton, of Maesderwen, addressed the meeting; and _ the meeting separated after expressing general approval of the mea _ sure.

What may be the ultimate effect of these projects upon _ the town and trad e o f G ainsborough it is impossible to predict, but _ the most sangui ne h opes are entertained that they will restore its languishing trade, and r a i se t h e town to its former prosperity. The change in publi c opinion, with respect to lines of ra i lway 4 u passing through towns, could not be more truly exemp lifi e d th an i n 2i Wrexham. Formerly every influence was exerted to keep the ter -'° minus of a railway a t a di stance from the towns, but now great _-anxiety is expressed b y many of the tradesmen of Wrexham , in con _ sequence of a report that the Dire c t ors o f t h e Ch es ter and Wrexham _ line have come to a determination that the station for the latter place ._ shall be in a field near the race-course, instead of at Brynyffynnon, _ as before arranged. Many complain that the trade of the town, _..... markets, and fairs have been falling off for some time ; that the -- number of unoccupied houses is greater than at any former period ; and that this project of altering the station of the railway will tend still further to depr ec i a t e t h e i nterests of the town. If th e report be correct, and th e resu l t likely to be as stated, we h ope th a t th e welfare of the inhabitants will be taken into consideration before that of a few individals. It will be much more satisfactory to let the _ original project be carried out.—Carnarvon Herald. SCOTCH LINES. CALEDONIAN AND DUMBARTONSHIRE JUNCTION.-011 Monday meeting of the Provisional Committee was held in Edinburgh, at which a detailed report from a survey committee, with the engi neer's report on the line, and its branches to Helensburgh and Miln gavie, were considered; and on the motion of Mr. J. C. Colquhoun, of Killermont, M.P., seconded by ➢fr. James Ewing, of Strathaven, the report was unanimously approved of. This line has been laid down so as to give full accommodation to the whole of Dumbarton shire ; and the terminus at Milngavie is so planned as to be capable of affording a convenient connexion with any of the northern pro jected lines which may hereafter be adopted. DADDINGTON AND EAST EINTON.---The inhabitants of Haddington met in the council chambers on the evening of Monday last, to con sider the expediency of forming a railway company ; the line to run betwixt Haddington and the village of East Linton, a distance of five miles. EAST of FIFE.—On Saturday a meeting of the Town Councils of Anstruther and Crail was held, when resolutions in favour of this line were passed. Bailie Morris stated that the num b er of shares applied for had greatly exceeded the estimated capital o f 250 ,0001., and there was now no doubt of the complete success o f th e under taking.

I n tn o event of Perth becoming a great shipping port, this district could supply both wood and slates in large quantities for export.—Perth shire Courier. DUNBLANE, DOUNE, AND CALLANDER.—The Scottish Central Com pany have agreed to guarantee a revenue to the Proprietors of the Dunblane and Callender line of 3% per cent, on their capital stock of 80,0001., with one half of the surplus profits. The Central to work the line at rates to be fixed by Mr. Locke, with no view to profit t o Central, and the Callender line to have the use of the Central station at Dunblane. The Central to have the power to lease the Callender line in perpetuity, at a rate of 6 per cent. on its gross cost. SCOTTISH CENTRAL.—The tunnelling of the Scottish Cent ra l is going briskly forward at Craigend, and we hear that at three of the shafts veins of freestone have been found. As the county of P erth will now likely have for some years large bodies of labourers congre gated in one district, it might be prudent to take example or warning by what has occurred in other places from that cause, as it is better to prevent crime than to punish it. Among the chief drawbacks at tending these undertakings, may be classed the breaches of the peace to which they are liable from the workmen being p a id at one time, and for a longer period than daily labour is usually paid in this country, and thence led to reispend both their time and money in drink and dissipation. This leads, in the first place, to expense to the railway contractors themselves, inasmuch as it necessitates the em ployment of a stronger force of constabulary than would otherwise be necessary, and for which they aro chargeable.—. Edinburgh paper. Between the hours of six and seven o'clock on Saturday evening last some villain or villains in human form, with an object little short of a desire for the wholesale massacre or mutilation of his or their fellow-creatures, committed a most wicked and diabolical act, by which a dreadful accident was caused on the Midland line of railway, close by the Holmes station, where a short branch of about half a mile in length connects the Sheffield and Rotherham Railway —now amalgamated with the Midland—with the main line at Masborough. At half-past seven o'clock a train left the Sheffield station, consisting of three passenger carriages, containing between sixty and seventy passengers, a parcel van, and eleven luggage waggons, to join the down train from London, which was due at the Masborough station at eight o'clock, and with which it was to proceed forward to Leeds. The parcel van and luggage waggon were placed next the engine and tender, and the passenget carriages at the tail of the train. When the train arrived at the Holmes station, the engine driver in confonnity with the general orders from the superintendent of the line, Mr. Somerville, slackened his speed, as in passing from the Sheffield and Rotherham line there is a very sharp curve round the corner of the station. At this place the train was not pro ceeding at a greater speed than ten or twelve miles an hour, and had not passed the station more than fifty or sixty yards, when it was suddenly stopped by some obstacle, and the engine and tender with the force of the shock were completely lifted off the rails, and thrown on their broadside across both up and down lines ; the engine-driver, a man named John Edwards, and the fireman, named Hugh Tis sington, were thrown a distance of 10 or 12 yards, and lay insensible for some minutes. Three of the luggage waggons and the parcel van were thrown off the line ; and the guard, John Ducker, who was seated on the last carriage but one with his back to the engine was thrown with great violence upon the roof of the carriage in front of him, and, fortunately, escaped injury by ca t c hi ng h o ld of the rails on the top of the carriage. Two of the waggons were smashed to pieces, and a third rendered useless by the concussion. The shock was felt severely by all the passengers, who were thrown from their seats ; but, providentially, from being at so great a distance from the engine, none of them received any injury beyond the shock and a few bruises. The guard immediately dismounted, and found the engine -driver and fireman creeping as well as they could with the contusions they had received to an edge bottom. The passen gers, as soon as possible, g ot out of the carriages, and search was then made to ascertain the cause of the accident, when it was found that a set of " points" used for putting waggons on a side line had been wedged open with an iron chair and a piece of limestone, so that it was impossible for a train to pass over without being thrown off the line. The tws men who were injured were, as soon as possible, con veyed to Sheffield, and surgical aid procured ; they are now fast re covering. The engine was removed soon after six o'clock, and it required the assistance of three other engines to slide it on the line to the engine -house at Masborough, as the wheels were quite motionless. The Midland Company, anxious for the public safety, have this (Tuesday) morning issued placards offering a reward of 100 guineas to any person who shall produce evidence to cause the conviction of the perpetrators of this villanous act.

XII 09 Ineantinle, they ban Wm rip • DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT SIR CHARLES PRICE'S. Yesterday afternoon, about a quarter before two o'elock, an alarming fire broke out in the warehouses belonging to Sir Charles Price and Co., oil and colourmen, situate at the bottom of William-street, New Bridge-street, the storehouse abutting on the north-west side of the Thames, nearly adjoining Blackfriars-bridge—at the right hand of which are the City Chartered Gas Works—the only intervening build ing being that of Messrs. Hoppe, coal-merchants, the gaso meters being immediately contiguous. So large a body of gas being in such near contact to the flames naturally caused serious apprehensions in the neighbourhood —apprehensions which were considerably increased when it became known that several tuns of oil, vitriol, and turpentine were upon the burning premises ; as well also, it was feared, a large quantity of gunpowder. Scarcely a quarter of an hour elapsed before sixteen or seventeen engines were upon the spot, all of which were' quickly supplied with water; and in a few minutes more, the floating engine usually moored on the eastern side of Southwark-bridge was brought up, and, it fortunately being high water, placed almost close to the burning pile. As this engine sent forth a volume of water exceeding a ton per minute, the effect was speedily seen in the partial subjugation of the flames, and it was hoped that all danger would shortly be at an end. These hopes, how ever, were not realised; for the conflagration again burst forth with redoubled fury, caused by the bursting of some carboys containing vitriol and turpentine; The burning liquid immediately spread the fire all around, and, running with the greatest rapidity into the Thames, united some of the coal barges, of which two were much injured and sunk. In its progress the lighted vitriol came into contact with two fire engines which had been brought into the interior, the men engaged on which were hastily compelled to make their escape, but the whole of the woodwork was entirely destroyed, leaving nothing but the iron behind. One of the brigade establishment, however, we are sorry to state, was not so fortunate as his companions —as the sudden irruption of the flames scorched him so severely that he was carried to 'St. Bartholomew's Hospital with but little expecta tion of surviving the injury. The lighted turpentine then floated upon the river, and soon caught one por tion of the floating-engine, when those in the direction caused her to be moored near the middle of the Thames ; but the flames caused so much fright and consternation among about fifty coal-men, who were engaged in work ing her, that the whole jumped pell-mell into the water. This incident occasioned . great confusion, and the efforts of those who were near in boats were of course directed to the extrication of the men who were in such immi nent peril, though we cannot state positively that some unfortunate individual may not have perished. Indeed it was said that two individuals are missing who were known to have been assisting. The floating-engine having thus become suddenly unmanned, the con flagration increased for a time, amd spread itself, on the left to the premises of Messrs. Capel, coal merchants, which are partially destroyed—and on the right, to those of Messrs. Hoppe, adjoining the gas-works, the whole interior of which is levelled to the ground, leaving only the outer wall facing the river standing. Now the fears of the inhabitants were raised to a painful pitch, lest there should be an explosion of gas—in which case there must have been fearful devastation. However, when con sternation and apprehension were at their height, the flames sensibly diminished, as the consequence of the very great and well-directed exertions which were made by the firemen. At four o'clock the fire was mastered, without further damage than the destruction of the premises belonging to Messrs. Price and Co., and Messrs. Hoppe, and considerable injury to those of Messrs. Capel. The origin of the fire is not known with accuracy ; but it is generally supposed to have been occasioned by the running over of some turpentine in the boiling-house. Immediately that the directors of the gas-works became aware of the imminent danger in which they were placed, messengers were dispatched to all the shopkeepers and large establishments in the vicinity to request that they would instantly light up the gas in their various premises, and thus, by lowering the quantity in the gasometer, considerably de crease the amount of damage that would have occurred had an explosion taken place. This request was of course com plied with, and the shops in Fleet. street and neighbourhood consequently presented the unusual appearance of being all lighted up at mid-day. Gas was also withdrawn from the gasometers, by being allowed to escape at a distance from the scene of conflagration—the atmosphere thus becoming im pregnated with a strong gaseous odour. The promptitude of the directors in adopting these precautionary measure is de serving of the highest commendation, whose forethought might thus have been the means of preventing a much more fearful calamity than even the fire itself. FURTHER AND LATEST PARTICULARS. The fire originated in that part of the premises termed the turpentine warehouse, a large brick building, sixty feet long and fifty feet wide, situate on the western side of the works, and adjoining the property of Messrs. Hoppe. The flames at one time ascended at least 100 feet above the buildings ; they were seen at a great distance, and the smoke spread over Bridge-street, Fleet-street, Chancery-lane, and the river, in such dense masses, as to obscure the light of day, and render respiration extremely 'difficult. The heat was also insupportable where The engines were placed, and was felt at a considerable distance. The man who lost his life is supposed to have been working at the engine that was de stroyed ; in all probability he missed his way when he re treated, and, instead of jumping into the river, became fixed against a wooden gate, and was compelled to remain in that situation until the flames came upon him, and burnt him to death. A very small portion of his body was found, which wag instantly conveyed to the bone-house to await a coroner's inquest. He is supposed to be a man who was occasionally employed about the wharfs. The engine belonging to the Farringdon station is entirely consumed, and the floating engine scorched. The property and premises are insured in the West of Eng land and Alliance offices. It will, perhaps, allay the alarm of those whose friends are missing to state that, at the conclusion of an inquest, last night, Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, said lie had, up to that time, received intimation of only one death. The loss in the aggregate, it is of course at present impos sible to ascertain, but up to eight o'clock last night it was' thought to exceed 20,000/. It is impossible to award too much praise to the gallant men by whose efforts this most fearful fire was extinguished. From the hour of three to sunset Blackfriars-bridge was almost impassable, and strongly reminded several elderly gentlemen of the terrific fire some fifty years since, at the Albion Mills, on the Surrey side of the river, when, as a subsequent distich ran : " The fire blazed so fierce and fast, Blackfriars-bridge could not be passed." METROPOLITAN POOR-LAW ASYLUMS FOR THE DESTITUTE AND HOUSELESS. Last evening a meeting of the delegates appointed by the parish of St. Marylebone to wait upon the Poor-law Commissioners, took place at the Court House, Marylebone-lane, for the purpose of arranging the plan of opposition, and the grounds upon which they considered themselves entitled to be exempted from the interference of the Com missioners.

Yesterday, after the night charges had been disposed of, Mr. Vann, the solicitor, addressing Mr. Bingham, said that he had an application to make upon a subject which he con ceived to be of great public importance, and not only mate rially affected the respectability of that Court, but also the character of the profession to which he had the honour to belong. Mr. Vann then stated, that the matter of complaint to which he invited the Magistrate's attention referred to the conduct of certain individuals who had been allowed to practise in the capacity of attorneys at that Court, without the slightest legal qualification, or even shadow of just pre tension to that character. The persons to whom he alluded might be comprised under two distinct classes, the first of whom, though they had received a professional education, had been unable to take out their annual certificate of qualification, and the second of whom consisted of persons who, although wholly ignorant of the principles and prac tice of the law and generally of disreputable character, were in the habit of passing themselves off as clerks to gen tlemen actually on the roll, and not only caused great injury to the reputation of the persons so falsely represented, but were also in the practice of accepting such petty retainers as could never be offered to respectable members of the profes sion. The injurious effect of this conduct upon the public, he was satisfied, required no comment, but the detriment it in flicted upon the qualified practitioners would be manifest wheel he stated that the aggregate cost of their certificates alone amounted to no less a sum than 86,0001. per annum. He begged to draw the magistrate's attention, in reference to the persons last mentioned, to the Gth and 7th of Victoria, cap. 73, commonly called . Lord Langdale's Act, by one sec tion of which all persons practising after its passing, on the 22d of August, 1843, without being duly qualified by cer tificate, were incapable of recovering any fees, and the 82d section of which enacted, that any attorney or solicitor who should knowingly or wilfully permit or suffer his name to be• in any way made use of, in any action or suit upon the account or for the profit of any unqualified person, should and might, upon proof made thereof upon oath to the satis faction of any superior court, be struck off the rolls, and for ever after be disabled from practising as an attorney or solicitor; and it should further be lawful for the said court to commit such unqualified person to the prison of such court, without bail or mainprise, for any term not exceeding one year. The Learned Gentleman then referred to the conduct of several persons who had been in the habit of so acting, and with respect to one of whom he stated that he had re ceived an answer to a communication he had addressed to Mr. Timm, the solicitor to the Board of Stamps and Taxes, which he begged to hand to the magistrate, and which offi cially notified that the certificate of the person in question had expired in November, 1842, and had not since been re newed, although the magistrate must be well aware that he had been constantly engaged up to the present time in the prosecution and defence of cases of every description at that Court. He (Mr. Vann) could assure the bench that he had not the slightest personal feeling in the matter, but the prac tices of the persons he had alluded to had been so re peatedly complained of by the judges at the several criminal courts, in almost every session, and were so seriously detri • mental to the actual members of the profession and the public, that he felt himself compelled to draw the attention of the Court to the subject, in the hope that the magistrate would upon any future occasion, where there could be any doubt of the fact, require the production of the certifi cate of any person appearing before him in the character of a solicitor. Mr. limonam said that he entirely concurred in the views expressed by the Learned Gentleman, and was not only de sirous of furthering them, but had himself received express directions from the Secretary of State for the exclusion of all persons who were not legally qualified to practise. The facts just disclosed by the applicant had not been previously brought under his notice, and he had not been aware of their existence in that Court; but now that he had been so satisfactorily apprised of them, he should certainly take the most effectual means in his power for their future sup pression. - In the course of the day one of the persons referred to in the above observations having presented himself to conduct the defence in a trivial case of footway obstruction, Mr. Vine, the chief clerk, communicated to him the sub stance of the complaint before stated, , and formally required the production of his certificate of qualification before he entered upon the matter in dispute. This demand completely startled the pseudo-attorney, who was manifestly wholly unprepared for its being made; and, after several evasive and irrelevant observations about pro ducing his qualifications and recommendations upon a future occasion, finally, upon the demand being inexorably repeated by the chief clerk, declined to accede to it, and abruptly quitted the Court, evidently greatly disconcerted, and to the no small chagrin and astonishment of the client who had " retained " him. THAMES. Yesterday, Thomas John Moss, a young waterman, was finally examined, charged with stealing 241. 15s. 6d., the property. of Robert Prest, in his dwelling-house. They robbery, which had all the characteristics of a most expert burglary, save that it was not done within the hours which would constitute it one under the Act, was most adroitly executed. executed. The particulars are rather curious._ i° le evening of Tuesday, the 2d instant, Mr. Prest,vewil is extensive fore man to Messrs. Pavett and Co., premises near Execution-dock, le m ft ill t e rie , 6d., the greater part who Ist and 2d inst., amounting to 241. 15 e s ;abe h cash re a ceived on the in gold, and which was in quantity of some silver, and a considerable key,l cop pers, in a desk of whi a small office adjoining the c h e he floor of the receiving lofts. d e b x ee ce n pt br a ok fe e N i ‘ i : The next day it was fo u i t , i l d n i. d a s l t l ha t n h t the e eas P h l a t c a e k taken, open, the lock forced, halfpence and one or . two ' bad shillings. A sort of crow. bar, called a jemmy, had also been . left behind. The only available means of access was by folding doors which opened to the waterside; and a ladder, which had been lyi ng fl at i n the yard on the previous evening when Mr. Prest left at six o'clock for the part of the premises which he occupied Was found reared up against the building next day. I nformation was given to the police, but suspicion was at fault for a 'consider able time, owing to the clever manner in which the robbery had been effected, and by a single agent. At length Inspector Evans, hearing that the prisoner was more fiusivaintonev than his presumed means would warrant, and, ixairspending it with reckless profusion, contrived to procutecitiormation which warranted the prisoner's apprehensiroVlnia he was brought up to this court on Friday, last: B Yelici t s then shown that about nine o'clock on the evening whelialt.lPrest left the money safe three hours bef ore , th e pr i soner - met - a versou named Joseph Nathan, whom, together with a couple of young women, he treated to some ale and spruce, which he payed f or i n copper mone y . He directed Nathan to call a cab, in which he drove to that person's house, paying the fare also in copper money. Whilst there he gave Nathan, whom he had seen only once or twice before, four half-sovereigns, and ss. in sil ver t o hi s wife. From thence Nathan accompanied him to No. 11, Devonshire-street, Commercial-road, where he was equally profuse of his money, and accounted for being so flush by bury cants It. Sept. Sept.

In addition to this evidence, Joseph Jenkins, the cabman who drove the prisoner to Nathan's on the Tuesday night of the robbery' stated that he met him on the ensuing Tuesday, when the prisoner asked him whether he had seen any of the Thames 1 police-officers? Witness asked him what he had been doing, when he replied that he had been taking some swag, and that 51. reward had been offered for him. This was the substance of the evidence on Friday, and the defence then offered by the prisoner was, that as regarded the cab, he had fetched it for some sailors, who engaged him at the Tunnel, who had dis appointed him. With respect to the money, it was a sum which he had been saving up from his earnings for a parti cular purpose, but being excited by a dispute with some young women, he brought it with him to show that he was possessed of it. Nathan told him it would not be safe to take • it home with him, being the worse for liquor, so he gave it to Mrs. Nathan to keep. When the prisoner was brought up yesterday a fresh witness was called, whose evidence was pretty conclusive. John Frazer, a waterman, well acquainted, with the pri soner, was passing through Devonshire-str ee t a b ou t h a lf- past ten clock on the night of the 2d inst , mid hearinehis_voice at the honse No. 11 called out, "Is that you, Tom ?" The prisoner made him go in, and witness found three women, a man, and a little girl is the place. The prisoner put his hand in his pocket, and exhibited a handful of gold to the amount, as witness thought, or 20/. He also exhibited a sort of sample bag, such as flour factors use, which appeared to contain more money. He gave one of the women a sovereign, and addressing Witness said, " G— strike me blind if I have not been and done the mill by myself." The prisoner, who yesterday made no defence, was sent to Newgate to take his trial for the felony at the present session of the Central Criminal Court. DONCASTER RACES.

It is reported that Alarm is also likely to be here for the Gascoyne Stakes. The smallness of the entries, considering the number of horses now in Doncaster, excites very general surprise. LATEST BETTING AT MIDNIGHT. sT, LEGER. 8 to 1 agst Miss Sarah 5 to 1 agst Mentor—taken 12 to 1 agst Weatherbit—taken 12 to 1 agst The Baron—taken 12 to I agst Pantasa—taken 12 to 1 age Old England—taken 15 to 1 agst The Pacha 15 to 1 agst Major Yarburgh's Red Robin—taken 16 to 1 agst Mr. Irwin's Ould Ireland 25 to 1 agst Mr. Ramsay's Mid-Lothian—taken 25 to 1 agst Mr. Johnstone's Annandale—taken 35 to 1 agst Mr. Hesseltine's Fitzallen—taken 50 to 1 agst Lord Miltown's Duc-an-Durras 50 to 1 agst Mr. Ferguson's Clear-the-Way. Very little betting, and only the two first favourites, The Baron and Pantasa, in any dernand. Weatherbit, believed in many quarters to be broken-winded, is greatly out of favour. The Collier was declared not to stare this afternoon. THE CHAMPAGNE STAKES. Even on Malcolm. DERBY. . 12 to 1 agst Sting 22 to 1 agst Malcolm—taken 40 to 1 agst Peri colt—taken. DONCASTER, TUESDAY EVENING. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) The short interval between the race this afternoon and the departure of the post puts it out of our power to give so de tailed a report of this day's proceedings as their importance deserves. The racing will speak for itself : it was ample and good,the weather was favourable, and the assemblage above the average in number and quality. The St. Leger continues to excite the most extraordinary interest, and the betting on it to be marked by fluctuations altogether without a parallel. Weatherbit's ups and downs, in particular, are won d er f u l : l as t night he was " broken-winded,' and went to 12 to I—this morning he went a strong gallop, pulled up as sound as his best friends could have wished, and before the races com menced, on a large outlay, rose to 4 and sto 1! We presume so good an opportunity of hedging was not lost upon his party. The last hope of the backers of Forth's horses was extinguished this morning by a declaration that Ould Ireland was lame and would not start 1 The other movements will be sufficiently indicated by the state of the odds given underneath. Of the racing this afternoon, .we subjoin the usual return. The Fitzwilliam Stakes of 10 sous. each, with 50 added; three yrs old, 7st 51b ; four, Bst 51b ; five, Bst 121 b ; six and aged, 9st.

PRICE or GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris is 14 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 50 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 571, it follows that gold is 0.29 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 435 per mark, which, at the , English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 108, it follows that gold is 0.29 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of ex change at 'New York .on London is 110 per cent. ; and the Tar •of oichange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.43 per cent. in favour of England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at sixty days' sight] the interest must be added to the abOYe difference. ~+~
