The House of Lords met at Five o'clock. The Bail in Error Bill was read a third time, and the Deodand Abolition Bill was reported. Lord PORTMAN then brought in the Tenants Com pensation Bill, which was read a first time. The great kature of this Bill, which refers to England, is, that taut* holding under a lease for three years or up wards, shall have the power, within six months after the expiration of the lease, of demanding compensation for any improvements they may have made, and that, in the event of any dispute, the demand should be referred to two persons, one of whom must be a justice of the peace, an appeal lying from their decision to the quarter sessions or to a court of law. Lord DACRE postponed the second reading of the Game Bill till Tuesday, and their Lordships adjourned. The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. A new writ was ordered for the county of Edinburgh, in the room of Mr. RAMSEY, who has accepted the Chil tern Hundreds. The Government refused to postpone either the Irish Banking Bill or the Irish Colleges Bill. The Scotch Banking Bill was read a third time and passed, after a protest on the part of Mr. Fox bIAULE against the measure. The LORD-ADVOCATE then moved the second reading of the Poor-law Amendment (Scotland) Bill. Mr. RUTHERFORD opposed the motion. The House was subsequently addressed by Lord ARUNDEL, Colonel WooD, and Mr. SHARMAN CRAW. FORD, when Mr. LocH, in allusion to recent events in Sutherland shire, stated that the accounts of the distress in that district were not true. There were no tenantry better trLated than those of Sutherlandshire, and none more flourishing. The LORD-ADVOCATE, in reply, while stating his dis approval cf a system of wholesale ejectment, admitted that the reports of what had occurred at Glencarrie had been greatly exaggerated ; and that, so far from the ejected tenants being in a state of destitution , several hundred pounds had been paid to them as the value of their stock. Mr. HUME, Mr. COLQUHOUN, Mr. E. ELLICE, Mr. R. SCOTT, Mr. P. M. STEWART, Sir J. GRAHAM, Mr. Fox MAULE, and several other Hon. Members, subse quently addressed the House, and eventually the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. The report on the Irish Banking Bill was then brought up, and after the amendment of several clauses, the Bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time on Monday. The House then adjourned, at Half-past One o'clock. • A somewhat irregular statement, on Monday night, in the House of Lords, by Lord WHARNCLIFFE, on behalf of Mr. BARRY—apologetic and explanatory— provoked a smart renewal of Lord BROUGHAM'S attack on the ill-advised architect whom the Learned Lord is desirous of immortalising as the impersonation of "delay." It is not Lord BROUGHAM'S custom to slacken his second fire in an engagement where his adversary has not retired before his first ; and we cannot con gratulate Mr. BARRY on the wisdom of his epistolary plea put in for him by Lord WHARNCLIFFE, or on its successful issue. Better for him to have been content with his first rough handling than to have challenged a second, in which the Marquis of CLANRICARDE and Lord CAMPBELL successively rode in upon hisn after the ex-Chancellor. Our readers will perceive that the com. plaints we have felt it our duty to urge against the con duct of Mr. BARRY, and the defence which, on a former occasion, he attempted to establish for his very inju dicious, offensive, and costly departure from the plans discussed, settled, and determined upon between him self and the Lords' Committee charged with the duty, in conference with a Select Committee of the House of Commons, to superintend and revise the erection and decorations of the new Houses of Parlia ment, are precisely those which the Peers in question continue to bring forward whenever accident offers the opportunity for doing so. On a subject which we felt it our duty to allude to very recently, in no feeling of dis respect for the eminent personage referred to, but with a strong conviction of the very serious liabilities Mr. BARRY had incurred, one of the Noble Lo"ds spoke in very express and remarkable terms. Lord BROUGHAM , repeating his declaration that Mr. BARRY seems to think very lightly of the censure or approbation of their Lord ships added that he looked much more to the Commis sion on the Fine Arts. This was, the Learned Lord ad mitted, a powerful body; but w hy? Because his Royal Highness Prince ALBERT was at the head of it. He had said the same thing, in so many words, on a former even ing ; and Mr. BARRY was welcome to put any construc tion on them he pleased, when disclaiming, as he now did, all idea of looking to any " powerful protection out the House." Now this is all matter of very legitimate statement The following are the quotations for the new lines:— for any Peer or any Member of Parliament, in the inde pendent discharge of his important trust and duty, to take care that the public money be disbursed only under the control, through the instrumentality, within the cog nisance, and by responsible officers only, of the appoint ment of the Legislature, or of the Government, under its sanction. But it is very essential that there should be no misconception in respect of so important a principle. Its enunciation should not be , confounded with any intention to manifest personal dis : relsect for bis Royal Highness —an intention which must be quite foreign to the desire of Lord Baouostast, or any other Peer. But it is really high time, as we before argued, to impress Mr. BARRY with the convic tion that his primary object should be to consult the in terests of the public in the speediest possible accomoda tion of the Legislature, not the making provision and ' providing scope for the development of artistical objects, or purposes, interesting and even important as acces sories, but altogether subsidiary and secondary to the completion of the general fabric, to such an extent as to allow of the dispatch of bu. iness. Now, Mr. BARRY'S irrsgular defence, in his letter to Lord WHARNCLIFFE, and that Nobleman's remarks in support of such defence, were addressed specifically tothe remarks that had fallen from the Learned ex-Chancellor. But Lord BROUGHAM said there was not a single Peer of the L irds' Committees, or of those who had sat with him on the subject of his complaint, who did not concur in every word of his state ment. Accordingly, we find the Marquis of CLAsiltr- CA RDE complaining that the House (of Peers) a t peered to possess very little power or con trol in this matter to accelerate the progress of the structure, or to obtain satisfaction from Mr. BARRY ; that Mr. BARRY had, in almost those words, told them so when under examination. The Noble Marquis animadverted on the fact, that the only reason assigned fur the perpetual delays of the often promised term at which the Lords should be accommo dated within the new walls was, the desire to meet the views of the Commission on Fine Arts ; but " that the Fine Arts should be made subservient to the accommoda tion of the Parliament—not that of Parliament to the Fine Arts." Nothing, certainly, can be more reason able than this proposition ; but we must enter our pro test against the assumption that the cause of the Fine Arts is to be served by the over-done tracery, and endless badges, and blazonry, and those " heraldic ano malies" we indicat« d in a former article, to the comple tion of which Mr. BARRY and the Fine Arts' Commission appear to attach a paramount importance over every other object to be accomplished on that national fabric. Now, we can imagine nothing so corrupting to any true taste for " Fine Art" as the overlaid display, or elabo rate sculpture, of interminable quarterings, devices, crests, mottoes, and supporters, which fritter away the majesty that would otherwise attach to so vast an extent of frontage as that which Mr. BARRY has raised on the banks of the river. The tracery, properly so called, from the great scope afforded for various and symmetrical design, is of course not liable to this obj« ction. It was not without reason that Lord CAMPBELL contrasted the expedition with which Mr. HARDWICKE had raised the beautiful Tudor Hall for the Society of Lincoln's Inn, commenced only a year and a half ago, and to be entered upon by the Society in about a month from this time, with the tedious procrastination of Mr. BARRY'S work, magnificent and vast though it be. The great reason fur urging Mr. BARRY to accele rated progress remains to be noted ; and it clearly is— the little confidence which the public can repose in Mr. BARRY'S abstinence from unnecessary, and even un authorised expense—whilst his works are still only in progress towards completion, after the memorable affair of the new gallery, the most costly and unwarrantable excrescence ever superadded to the execution of a settled and authorised design for•any public building in England.

The Clamor Publico, the first that suffered by the arrest and deportation of two of its conductors, announces the complete union of all sections of the Liberal party, and in a tone of just indignation ex claims :—" Does the Government thinx that it is able to impose silence upon the independent press, and to prevent it uttering a cry of alarm at the sight of the dangers impending G T o h n p ., r v e over the country ? A formid a bl e tempest is prep aring—raay a a i r nf Time a t d h h e er p e e n r t i s ls of w E h s le p h Att len n a o ce th h a er t !" a e s c e t rv ad e Sorwpn s plot is laid against them, and that emissaries have been sent forth to get up a manifestation in order to crush the friends of the QUEEN and Constitution. The Funds still remain depressed, but the Herald o Ministerial paper, asse r t s t h at the fall has been caused, ' a not so much by political ev en t s, as by a combinatioi of capitalists. " Many persons," says that journal of the 4th, "believed that the Three per Cents. would this day have fallen to 30. However languishing they were at the opening of the Bourse, they recovered towards the close a certain de gree of firmness ; they were demanded at 60 day s , an d t h ere were few sellers at this date.

As it is impossible that paper, the interest of which is religiously paid, can remain at the actual price, we feel justified in believing that sooner later a rise must take place." The Gazette publishes a bul letin, dated Valencia, the Ist inst., and signed 13 :f NAnvAEz, announcing that the QUEEN was to leave that place on the 2d, and sleep at Castellon de la Plana, 9 :ad proceed next day for Barcelona. A rumour prevail at Madrid that some serious disturbance was anticipated in that city on the ar rival of the Court. The Three per Cents. closed at 31i for cash, and 32i at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 22 at 60 days; the Pro. visional Debt, at i a at 60 days; and the Vales at 9 for cash. In the French Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday, Admiral MAcKau, the Minister of Marine, presented a Bill for increas ing the navy and maintaining twenty-six vessels of war on the coast of Africa, in virtue of the treaty concluded at Lon don between France and England for the suppression of the slave .trade. This announcement excited a general move ment of satisfaction, and immediately afterwards M. GUIZOT entered the Chamber, and took his seat for the first time after his illness. Many Members crowded round him, and offered their congratulations on his recovery. The scene was heightened a little by the gratifying announcement made by the gallant Admiral, who at the same time presented a copy of the convention, and the instructions prepared for the officers who are to command the fleet on the African coast. M, TRIERS took the opportunity of putting a question to the Minister of Justice relative to a resolution adopted by the Chamber, for carrying into effect the laws against the Je suits, and wished to know whether any steps had been taken in accordance with the wishes of the Chamber. The Minis ter M. MARTIN (du Nord) said no new proceedings had taken place which called upon the Government to enforce the law, but he was aware of the importance of the subject, and the Government would be prepared to act, should cir• cumstances arise, calling for their interference. The discus sion on the Budget was then resumed, and on the clause rela tive to the maintenance of the clergy being read, M. Dunois complained of the number of congregrations established in various parts of France. The Minister of Justice said the Government had a return of all those establishments, and were prepared to suppress those who had not complied with the laws for the institution of religious establishments.

This may be regarded as decisive proof that the conversion will take place next session. The clause fixing the estimates for the foreign department next came under discussion. M. BILLAULT began the de bate, and in the course of his speech roamed over Switzer land, Belgium, Spain, Syria, Morocco, Greece, and Texas. M. GCTIZOT, in reply, said he would not treat of all the dif ferent questions adverted to by M. BILLAULT, because most of them had been settled. As to Texas, France had acknow ledged its independence, but France had no position in that country, although she bad general interest. Three great Powers only, viz., England, Spain, and America, had superior interests in the Texas question. France had no right to interfere, and he believed the great force of France to be in the observance of a strict independ ence and neutrality in matters that did not regard them. M. GUIZOT afterwards defended the conduct of the French Cabinet in Switzerland, and passed to the Spanish question. He maintained that the abdication of Don CARLos did not effect in any way the Spanish Government. The Government had always considered both the interests and dignity of the country in their foreign, as well as home policy, and he was certain the Chamber would continue their confidence to it.

Miss Clara Seyton has resumed her entertainments at the Princess's Concert-room. On Wednesday she gave her entertainment on " Comedy," and between the parts she sang a new comic song, written expressly for her by Mrs. Cornwall Baron Wilson. It is a satire on the pre vailing follies of the day, and certainly the fair ladies not only aim at, but hit, " folly as it flies." Clair voyance, the Polka, hydropathy, the puffing system, the fountains in Trafalgar -square—all are aimed at, and each aim is "a hit—a palpable hit." it is needless to say that the song was enthusiastically encored, as was Albert Smith's " Musical Scamper," with which the en tertainment concluded, and which increases in popularity every time it is repeated. The room was crowded.

DEATH OF JOHN MARSHALL, ESQ., OF LEEDS.— This eminent manufacturer died on the 6th instant, at his seat Hallsteds, on the Cumberland shore of Ullswater Lake, at the age of seventy.nine. Mr. Marshall began life with very small means, but by his ingenuity and industry, exercised continuously for upwards of half a century, he succeeded in amassing landed and personal property amounting, it is be lieved, to at least a million and a half sterling. Mr. Mar shall's politics were liberal. Though not much inclined to public life, he engaged in the extensive canvass (there was no poll) for the county of York, in 1826, and sat for it till 1830, in conjunction with Lord Milton (now Earl Fitzwilliam), the Hon. William Dun eombe (now Lord Feversham), and Mr. Fountayne Wilson. Two of his sons married daughters of Lord Mounteagle, and subse quently the Noble Lord himself married Mr. Marshall's daughter The express trains from and to London fill so well that it has been necessary for some days to start with seven instead of four carriages, which was the number originally proposed.-- Liverpool Time THE ATTENDANCE OF PRISONERS BEFORE CORO- Mtn' JURIM—At the late inquest on Hannah More, it was stated that a society was about being formed in St. Luke's, to obtain a legislative enactment to compel the attendance of prisoners charged with murder or manslaughter before the coroner, and that one pa. rishioner subscribed bOl. towards it, while others expressed their willingness to subscribe in sums proportionate to their means. ROYAL GENERAL DISPENSARY. The annual general meeting of the Governors of the above institution was held on Wednesday, in the Board-room, Aldersgate street.—Mr. Her ring, the treasurer, in the chair. After the reading and confirma tion of the minutes of the previous meetings, the Chairman re ported upon the slate bl' the dispensary. The number of patients admitted during the last half year was 4,643, being a slight increase in t he "erne. Considerable support had been received of late, but the amount of funds, he said, did not keep pace with the in =ease of population in the neighbourhood, nor, consequently, with th ei r- 4reated wants oft I e institution. , ..CERRIF IC ELECTRIC SHOCK.--During the tempest which hovered about the neighbourhood of Dunmow at noon on Tuesday, and which was accompanied in some localities by much rain and hail, a sudden crash as of the bursting of a heavy piece of artillery was heard in the middle of the town, which being simul. taneous with a vivid flash of lightning, struck terror into every countenance. Every person in the market declared he never ex perienced anything like It before. A horse standing against the shop of Mr. Wilton, harnesi.maker, with a phaeton, belonging to Viscount Maynard, started away at full speed, but before he got to the end of the street, the reins catching on the step gave the animal a sudden twist, so that he was easily stopped. It was soon disco vered that the electric stroke was received on the premises of B. M. Foakes, Esq. Entering the apex of the granary gable, the fluid dashed about the tiles and mortar, and passed through the wall into the interior, carrying a piece of board across the chamber down to the foot of the ladder on the ground floor; passing along a bellovire to the bell-pull at the entrance gate, and causing the bell to 'ring, it splintered the heavy oak gate post to within a Shot of the ground. The inside of the granary smoked much, and had a strong sulphurous smell. The groom, who was in the yard with a wheelbarrow, was thrown from the latter by the shock, and four pigeons on the roo fof the Town.hall were hurled Into the street. Providentially no life was lost or any in jured, although many were thrown down, and several females fainted. No property, further than that mentioned above, re. eeived any damage.—Essex Stantard. ROYAL A CADEMY AND WAVERLEit 110 AT MOE. —This event came off on Wednesday. Both crews had been in very active training, and the result was a spirited and first-rate contest, At about half.past six preparations were made for the start, and shortly afterwards the rival crews appeared at Putney bridge to row to Mortlake Church, the same course as that chosen in the great Oxford and Cambridge struggle of last March. The Academicians, on the signal being given, went off with a slight lead, and at a very fine pace. They continued gradually to draw their boat away inch by inch from their opponents, and went in advance up the reach to the Crab Tree. The Waverley C. tub, above this pl .ce, p u t on a b eautiful spirit, and broug ht , by dint o f the most gallant row i ng, the head oftheir boat up to N o. 3 of their adversaries' boat; but the Academicians applied themselves well to their work, and the Waverley again, fell astern. On nearing Hammersmith-bridge th e latter again bent down to their work, arid, in a few strokes, which exhibited not only great power but pluck, were a second time alongside of their rivals, but the Acade. micians, whose style th roughout w; is very fine, aga i n went away from them. Th e W averley came close on their adversaries ' stern all the way up, b ut could not pass them, and the !loyal Academy won by about two l engths. The General St eam N avigation Company ' s steam ship Ocean arrived at Blackwr ill Pier yesterday, w i t h the Dutch mail, after a p assage of ISi hours from Heiveotsluys.

THE WHITE SLAVE ; OR, THE RUSSIAN PEASANT GIRL. By THE AUTHOR OF " REVELATIONS OF RUSSIA.' —This remarkable novel will doubtless meet with an equal degree of public approbation as has been bestowed on the analogous productions of Hope and Morier. The fiction has been framed, not only to illustrate the con dition of the immense white-slave population of the Russian empire —with a few of its horrors—but as a living portraiture of men and things in that country. It brings upon the scene personages drawn from the most varied classes—from the Emperor down to the slave• girl Nadeshta. A connecting link throughout the tale is the interesting Jane Grudzinska, the daughter of a Polish squire (created Princess of Loviez), the second and beloved wife of the dreaded Grand Duke Constantine, who, after repudiating his first wife—a Princess of Saxe Cobourg—consented to renounce the Imperial throne , to secure her hand. This singular episode acquires an immediate interest from the trial at present pending before the Court of Berlin, between the creditors of that lamented lady and the Emperor Nicholas, they grounding their claim against him on the fact that he did not allow her to inherit the fortune bequeathed to her by her husband, and, after her death, claimed in vain by her aged father, who retired to die in poverty and obscurity, after having seen his daughter intermarried with the Russian Caesars. PENINSULAR SKETCHES, EDITED DY W. H. MAX WELL, ESQ., AUTHOR OF " STORIES OF WATERLOO."— Mr. Maxwell is so well known for the talent and variety of his works, that his very name on the title-page of a book is sufficient earnest that its contents will contribute to the amusement of the reader. No one excels Mr. Maxwell in his sketches of the military club and mess table, in the description of officers at home, and in his pictures of their mixed labours, perils, and wild inter vals of sport and diversion in the field or on real service. In the work before us we have perils by sea and land, bold operations, and narrow escapes by night and by day, the most picturesque narratives of service, and incidents and adventures of the most attractive order. These are subjects to suit the taste of every reader.— Messenger. LABOUR PROVIDED DY RAILWAYS. That some idea may be formed of the immense stimulus the trade of the country would derive from the formation of the con templated railways, it is only necessary to state that were 2,000 miles of the projected railways to be constructed, it would give employment to 500,000 labourers and 40,000 horses for the next four years. The necessary building, sheds, and permanent way would corer 20,000 acres of land, and to lay a double line of rails would require 400,000 tons of iron.—Railway Shareholders' Manual. NOVEL IMPORTATION.—In consequence of the re duction of the duty on glass, it appears to be in contemplation to bring it into use for the roofing of houses. An importation of a thick description of window glass has already taken place, intended for roofing, and were it generally introduced those who require a strong light to enable them to carry on their occupations, might erect their object, and avoid the window-tax. This roofing will be much lighter than tiles and slates, and if it be extended into the country, the poor will then be enabled to partake of the luxury of a bunch of black cluster grapes grown under the roofs of their own humble cottages. But then glass will also he of great use to market gardeners, and it will serve for the roofing of green-houses, which suffer much from.hail stones, and upon which insurances are effected as against fire. CONVICTS FOR VAN DIEMAN'S LAND.—The MaTion, hired convict-ship, left her mooring, off the Royal Arsenal, Wool. wich, on Wednesday, with 275 convicts, and a guard of 1 lieutenant, 1 ensign, 3 sergeants, and 47 rank and file of the 11 th regiment, Slot a paws, to Ng South Welts, COURT Cl RCULA R. WINDSOR, Tituastur.--The Queen and the Duchess da Nemours returned to the Castle from their drive in the double seated Dreshka about seven o'clock yesterday evening. The band of the Royal Horse Guards performed during dinner yesterday evening the following pieces : Overt ore—lphigen ia— G I uck. Seleetion—Alma—Costa. Walta—Electrisen Funkert—Strauss. Selection—" Robert le Diable"—Meyerbeer. Quadrilles—" Chateau de Kenilworth"--Rossini. March_." Midsummer Night's Dream"—Mendelssohn. This morning the Queen and her illustrious guests took an early walk in the pleasure grounds of the Castle. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Prime Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice were taken their accustomed walks and rides on the terrace and slopes. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent arrived in the forenoon, attended by Lady Anna Maria Dawson, and the Hon. Captain Spencer. The Countess Delawarr and Lady Mary Sackville West, and the Earl of Aberdeen took their departure from the Castle this morning. The Lord Steward and the Lord Chamberlain left the Castle at half -past eleven o'clock for the Royal Stand, at Ascot, to be in readiness to receive her Majesty on her arrival. Soon after twelve o'clock the Earl of Rosslyn, Master of the Buck Hounds, left the Castle in a pony landau and four for Ascot, accompanied by Major-General Sir Edward Bowater, and Mr. Digby. Colonel Bowles, Captain Francis Seymour, Dr. Prcetorius and the Hon. Captain Spencer, R.N., followed in another pony landau and four. At half-past twelve o'clock the Queen and the Royal party left the Castle for Ascot race course in the following order. A barouche and four, conveying her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess de Nemours. ASCOT HEATH RACES. (THURSDAY.) Having avoided the crushing at the Paddington and Slough stations, and the crushing on the thoroughfare from Windsor to the Heath, by patronising the quieter and more convenient Mite by the goutli , Weslern te, Woking., We reached the course about the usual time, to find that our expectations of an attend ance consistent with the greatness of the occasion, and the fines ne,s of the weather were amply realised. The privileged in closure was filled with equipages, occupied by well-dressed people, and the Grand and smaller stands crowded, and the whole scene surpassingly animated and brilliant, serving to prove that the substitution of the Emperor's Cup for a prize that, apart from the presence of royalty, had for so long a pe riod formed the principal, indeed, the single feature of the day, had not in the slightest degree tended to diminish the attrac tion ; on the contrary, we question if the assemblage, either in number or rank, or those essentials to a genuine " grand day," heat and dust, have ever been exceeded. It will have been ga thered from our notice of her Majesty's visit on the first day that the royal circle at the Castle was select. Several additions were made to it on Wednesday, and the cortege yesterday was increased in extent, and was accompanied on horseback by the Master of the Buck Hounds (who we were happy to find had so quickly rallied from the effects of his accident on Tuesday), the Duke of Buccleuch and Sir Edward Bowater, Col. Drum mond and Col. Brooks. Shortly after one o'clock it appeared on the New-mile, and slowly making its way through the crowd up the course, arrived at the Royal Stand a few minutes before the hour of starting for the Queen's Plate, the horses for which were already mounted, and ready to canter to the starting post. Her Ma jesty, who we were delighted to ob'erve, looked in excellent health, was greeted with every demonstration of loyalty and regard, and frequently, in the course of the day, was graciously pleased to acknowledge a similar expression of feeling. The Marquis of Exeter, who was in attendance on Prince Albert, arrived on the course before the commencement of the races. In the intervals between the races, several of the nobility paid their respects to her Majesty, and were graciously received. On the conclusion of the race for the New Stakes, the royal party retired to luncheon, and immediately after the Visitors' Plate, having been gratified by a succession of highly interesting races, and nor less so, it was stated, by the orderly and respectful bear ing of the multitude congregated on the course, her Majesty departed for the Castle. Her Majesty was pleased to express her unfeigned gratification that the truly royal gift of the Emperor of Russia was won by a nobleman who so long and so worthily filled the high office of Master of the Horse in her Household. Besides the royal visitors, the company present included a vast number of the magnates of the sporting and aristocratic circles. The private room appropriated to the use of the Master of the Buck Hounds in the weighing stand was occu pied by several ladies of rank. The Jockey Club Stand was also fully occupied by the members, and the principal floor of the Grand Stand exhibited a display of beauty and fashion that no other course—we may say, no other country—can ap proach. The lawn, too, notwithstanding the heat of the sun, was so thronged, not merely with the betting men—for the ladies seemed to recognise it as an agreeable lounge—that we found some difficulty in ascertaining the amount and nature of the business transacted on the various events. It was clear, how ever, that there was the same disinclination to speculate on the Cup that had been observable on the previous days; to account fur it, we should 'state that Mr. Irwin is supposed to have an in terest in Alice Hawthorn as well as in Faugh-a-Ballagh, and these, up to the last moment, had it in their power to place the layers of the odds at a great disadvantage—hence the absence of the usual quotations on the Cup in our report of Tuesday's races. In thus speaking we are guided solely by rumour, which may be or may not be true; we merely allude to the subject for the purpose of accounting for the great dulness of speculation. It will be seen that the race brought out a field of only four horses, and that it was won by the Earl of Albemarle, with the same horse aria jockey that carried off the Ascot Cup in 1844. Ralph, belonging to the same nobleman, won the Cup in 1843 I But we must draw our account to a close, first, however, submitting as full a list of the company as our other duties permitted us to collect : Duke of Richmond, Marquis of Clanricarde, Marquis of Downshire, Earl and Countess of Albemarle, Earl of Veru lain, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl Sandwich, Earl of Southampton, Earl and Countess of Wilton, Earl of Suf field, Earl of Lonsdale, Earl of Uxbridge, Earl of March, Earl Bruce, Lord U.

The races terminated shortly after five o'clock, and there ensued a scene of contusion that we have seldom seen sur passed on a Derby day—it was aggravated, in no small degree, by the clouds of dust that completely encircled the course, and rendered driving, sans accident, a task requiring more than ordinary skill and carefulness. Several collisions took place, panels out of number were smashed—two or three horses died A barouche and four, conveying her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, his Royal Highness Prince George, his Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen, and the Duchess of Buecleuch.

The officers of the royal household all appeared in the same uniform. The Duke of Buceleuch and the Hon. Colonel Grey (Equerry in Waiting) were on horseback. The royal cortege was attended as usual by a numerous retinue of outriders in scarlet liveries. At half-past five o'clock the royal and august party returned to the Castle. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent shortly afterwards proceeded to Frogmore House. The juvenile royal family were taken airings in the afternoon. A grand banquet was given by her Majesty in St. George's Hall, in the evening. The dining-table was arranged with very great taste and splendour. The plateau was divided into three compartments ; that in the centre containing the magni ficent St. George candelabrum ; a candelabrum on each side having the cornucopia sculptured at the base ; and vines in moss -covered vases on each side ; one loaded with green, and the other with purple grapes. The other compartments of the plateau both contained the " Hesperides Candelabrum," of silver gilt ; vases of the same precious metal, some filled with rare plants in flower, and others with growing strawberries, elevated on circular pedestals of silver gilt, having the shafts fluted and highly burnished, and the bases engraved with royal arms. Vines were also placed at either extremity of the table. A number of beautiful ice-pails, modelled from Flaxman's designs, greatly added to the splendour of the plateau, and numerous candelabra of silver gilt, bearing wax-lights, illumi nated the banquet with great brilliancy. The royal dinner party included her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess de Nemours, his Royal Highness Prince George. his Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen, the Duke arid Duchess of Buccleuch, the Duke of Rutland and Lady Adeliza Manners, ;the Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter, the Mar -1 quis of Normanby, Earl of Liverpool, the Earl Delawarr, the Earl and Countess of Jersey, and the Ladies Clementine and Adele Villiers, Lord Seaham, Lord F.

Spry's filly made the running, at a had pace, followed by Cataract, Queen Pomare and Gwalior, the others closely laid up. With two or three trifling exceptions this order was observed to the distance, where Queen Pomare, Minotaur, and Cataract closed with the filly, and they ran in a cluster to the stand; the favourite then parted company and won cleverly by a length ; a dead heat for second between the Taglioni filly and Queen Pomare, and Gwaliur a very good fourth. The New Stakes of 10 soya. each, with 100 added ; for 2 yrs old colts, Bst 71b ; and fillies, Bst 31b. Winners of 100 sous. 51b extra. T. Y.C.

At the second start all got off well, Breastgirth leading, followed by Sting, the Miss Milner and Pet colts, Astonishment, Madcap, and several others ; the Jubilee colt and the Rint filly lying off. They ran nearly in these positions to the distance, where the Hint filly joined the front rank, the Jubilee colt also well up. The lead was now taken by Sting to the railing, and appeared to have the race in hand ; the Jubilee cult now showed a-head, passed Astonishment and the Rint filly a few strides from home, come with a rush at the last, and won on the post by a head ; Astonishment third, Rint filly fourth, and the Miss Milner colt fifth.

Faugh-a-Ballagh took the lead at a strong pace, the Emperor lying next him, Alice Hawthorn third, and Cowl, who never appeared in front, last. The intervals between the horses increased after making the tut n at the top of the course, but no change in the order of running was observable until they reached the brickkiln, where Alice Hawthorn took the lead, the favourite lying second, and the Emperor third, well up. They ran so to the distance where the Emperor and Faugh-a-ballagh went to the marts and defeated her, the run ning was then taken up by the Emperor, who carried it on right gallantly to the end, and amidst cheers that bespoke the estimation in which one of the most amiable men on the turf is held, won by two lengths; Alice Hawthorn a bad third, Cowl broke down at the last tuoi.

The programme for this day ( Vriday ) consists of the Three Hundred Sovereign Stakes, the Chesterfield Stakes, the Bri gade Stakes, the Borough Members Plate, and three classes of the Wokingham Stakes. In our preliminary remarks to the first day's races we glanced at a subject that has during the last few days caused some little excitement in the racing circles. It has been suggested that to prevent misapprehension it would be advisable to speak in more defii.ite terms. The " black cloud" then to which we adverted refers to an alledged offer of a large sum to John Day, jun., to " pull" the in c o lt ( now ca ll e d Dis cord) for the Derby n Little Wonder's year (1840), which offer was refused, and subsequently communicated to the owner, Mr. Etwall. A statement to this effect has been laid before the Stewards of the Jock e y Cl u b ; an d J o h n D ay, we . are informed, persists his story. On the other hand, the party upon whom this very serious imputation has been thrown, not only meets the charge with a flat denial, but de clares that he is prepared to establish by his book, and by letters from John Day, Jun., that so lar from being in a posi tion to wish to have the horse beaten, he had actually backed him, for himself and the latiividaal whose integrity he 14 as. j. t:thgciiso _____..-................... a1i c pi lOf gr ' FoRDINGBRIDGE, JUNE 10.—The ,un—a , we t Seton, who was wounded in the late fatal duel at al e , r ," e 00 , place here this afternoon.
