Motion made, and Question proposed, " That a sum not exceeding 227,5001. be granted to her Majesty, to defray Expenses connected with the administration of the Laws relating to the Poor, to the 31st day of March, 1851 :" After wards Motion made, and Question put, " That a sum not exceeding 219,5001. be granted to her Majesty, to defray Expenses connected with the administration of the Laws relating to the Poor, to the 31st day of March, 1831." The Committee divided:— THE SUN, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM RACES.—TuEspAy. If the bill of fare for the commencement of the annual summer gathering on Epsom Downs exhibited no te iture cf importance, and was below the mark in the entries for the inferior stakes, it came up to the average in the number of events, and, eked out with he its, to which the stewards adhere with a pertinacity made the more re markable by their abolition at every other meeting of consequence, realised a moderate amount of sport. The two principat events were well filled, but with Coiling wood in one and Buckhound in the other, looked so much like "certainties," that, ill-supported as they were the minor prizes, a large company could not have rea sonably been anticipated; still so exciting have been the recent fluctuations in the Derby betting, that no specu lator with any regard for his "book" could safely absent himself; hence the attendance of the sporting community was good, but owing as much no doubt to a wet morning as to the comparative want cf attraction in the list, the company in all other respects was very considerably below par—to those who were present a favourable change in the weather about one o'clock proved very acceptable. The day's sport was not of a nature to call for many observations; the Craven Stakes came off as every body anticipa eJ, but was a very near thing; it is long since the gallant Collingwood was run so close. The Knight of Gwynne was weighed for this race, and his number suffered to remain until a good deal of money had been laid out on him and Collingwood conjointly—his with drawal at the eleventh hour elicited remarks anything but complimentary to the owner. If the result of the first race was in accordance with the betting, it was otherwise with the Woodcote, the Goodwood flyer being bowled over by an animal of whom so little was thought even by his own party, that 7 to 1 was laid against him at starting. Of the heat races the least said the better; they afforded but indifferent sport. Before we proceed to a detail of the running, a word or two on the Derby will not be out of place ; Clincher, against whom it will be recollected 9 to 1 was laid at the corner on Monday afternoon, was in immense force, 5 to 1 taken to several thousand pounds, making him first favourite; Mildew and Bolingbroke were quoted at the same figure, Bolingbroke decidedly weak in the market. The Nigger was backed for a large sum at 7 to 1, and Pitsford at 15 to 2; Deicooa improved, and the odds quoted against Nutshell and the Knight of Gwynne were taken at one time with much spirit. We have un derneath given a list of the probable starters, amount ing to 25; it is more than probable, however, that the actual number at the post will not exceed 22 ; Mayors, Penang, one of Count Batthyany's, and Flare-up, are all looked upon as doubtful; nor would The Italian's non-appearance excite any surprise. Should Mayors be scratched Marlow will be on Alonzo. The racing commenced shortly after two o'clock, and finished about five. The following is a return:— The Craven Stakes of 10 sovs. each, with 40 sovs. added; for three yrs old, Est 81b; four, Bst l0lb; five, 9st 41b; six and aged, 9st 101 b.

Cora took the lead immediately after starting, followed by the Dark,Susan colt and The Moor, the others lying well up, with the favourite in the rear; this order was unchanged until they reached the T.Y.C. post, where the running was taken up by The Moor, and carried on by him t o th e di stance; h ere th e Dark usan colt went to the front, waited on by the favourite and Kathleen. At the stand this trio were together, and a very fine race ensued, Collingwood winning by a head, and Kathleen beating Sir Gilbert Heathcote's colt by a neck; The Moor fourth. Run in 2 min. 20 sec. The Woodcote Stakes of 10 soya, each, with 100 added; two yrs old colts, Bst 61b; fillies, Bst 31b. The second to receive 25 sovs. out of the stakes, and the winner to pay 10 soya. towards expenses.

Buckhound, Bri tannia, and Brother to Drakelow got away together, and jointly cut out the work to the road, where Buckhound took a decided lead, which he held until half way up the distance, where Marlborough Buck, who did not get through his horses until they were round the turE, took the second place. At the corner of the stand he caught the Goodwood favourite, and defeated him cleverly by a length; Teddington, who did not get up until near the last, finishing a length from Buckhound; Salomon fourth.

PUGILISM.--ALFRED WALKER AND THOMAS DARBY FOR 201.-A merry little gathering met yesterday, at Woking, whither they steamed it per South-Western Rail, to witness the coup cressai of young Alfred Walker, third brother of the once -renowned Johnny, and Darby, a sprig from the Walsall school, a hardy looking specimen of the hardware district. The battle was characterised ;by unflinching courage and a credit able amount of pugilistic skill ou both sides. The pro vincial's length gave him great advantage over his more compact and short-armed antagonist, which, aided t-.) his straight and rapid deliveries, so far placed the result seemingly in his hands that 3 to 1 was offered on him at the 30th round, and no takers. The " young-un," how ever, who had hitherto tried out-Lighting, and jumping away, shortly after, by the advice of Jemmy Welsh, who (with D. M'lntyre) acted as his second, took to staying with his man, countering and playing close. Walker thus turned the tables, and in the 48th round hit Darby down with a rapid ono, two, which gained the victory after 83 minutes' bustling encounter. Darby was atten tively seconded by W. Bayes and Geo. Holden. NORTHERN COAL MINING COMPANY.—OH Mon day the Master in ,Chancery (Blunt) made a call of 101. per the re to defray the liabilities of this concern. LONDON, EARL OF LINCOLN'S DIY ) t. BILL. HOUSE OF LORDS, MAY 28 The second reading of the Earl of Lincoln's Divorce Bill was fixed for three o'clock this afternoon. It naturally drew an unusually large number of strangers to the bar of their Lordships' House, and considerable in terest seemed to be manifested in the proceedings, but still few persons were admitted into the House. Lord Langdale occupied the chair. Mr. Robinson appeared as counsel for the Noble Earl, but her Ladyship was not represented by counsel. Lord BROUGHAM moved the order of the day fur the second reading of the Bill. Mr. ROBINSON said he had the honour to appear in support of the Bill. In 1832 the Earl of Lincoln was married to Susan Harriet, the daughter of the Duke of Hamilton, and they lived together as man and wife down to the summer of 1848. During that period they became the parents of five children. On the 2d day of August, 1848, her Ladyship left this country and repaired to Baden, and ultimately to Ems, where her Ladyship met with Lord Walpole, the son of the Earl of Orford, who, their Lordships were aware, was named in the Bill. From Ems her Ladyship went with Lord Walpole to Geneva, to Rome, to Naples, and ultimately to Ems and Vienna, where they lived together on terms of the closest inti macy. In the course of time her Ladyship's appearance so altered as to leave no boubt that she was pregnant. This change was first perceptible at Naples; but her Ladyship afterwards quitted Naples and re paired to Rome, where it was presumed ht r Ladyship was confined. After her confine ment her Ladyship, accompanied by Lord Wal pole, as eat to Verona and the Valle Manchini, where they passed as Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to detail the facts that were afterwards disclosed in evidence, and concluded by stating that from the time her Ladyship had left England, in 1848, up to the present moment, she had niat been seen, nor had she had intercourse with the Noble Lord, her pre sent husband. The first witness called was Mr. Frederick Jarrett, who stated that he was a clerk in the office of the solicitor to the Bill, and he had served a copy of it on her Ladyship's solicitor. Mr. Ranken was next called. He stated that he was a solicitor, and was present at the marriage of Lord Lincoln with the daughter of the Duke of Hamilton. It was in November, 1832. The marriage was solemnized according to the customs of Scotland, and was after wards ratified in the Church of England. He had re cently had a communication with her Ladyship on the subject of this Bill, and she had authorised him to ap pear for her. Mr. Lemon, the confidential solicitor of Lord Wal pole, and of his father, the Earl of Orford, stated that Lord Walpole left this country about ten years ago, and had not since returned. Mr. Ranken was recalled, to state that her Ladyship had been absent since August, 1848, and as far as he knew, she had never been in this country since. John Meredith stated that he was the porter of the family of the Duke of Hamilton, and on the 2nd August, 1848, he saw her at his Grace's house. She left there alone in a cab in the afternoon of that day, and he had never seen her since. His Grace lived in Port land-square. A letter was here put in which her Ladyship had written to her Lord from Baden on the 9th of August, to prove that her Ladyship was there about that period. It bore the Baden post-mark, and was proved to be in her Ladyship's handwriting. Noel Pavoick stated that he bad been in the ser vice of Lord Walpole. In July, 1848, he left this country for Germany in company with his Lordship. They went to Ems, where he saw Lady Lincoln with his Lordship. They lived at separate hotels, but they were in the habit of driving out together, and his Lordship visited her Ladyship at all hours. From Baden they went to Wiesbaden, and ultimately, travelling through the country, they arrived at Genoa, where they stayed during the winter. One day, in the month of November, he was sent out by his Lordship fur a newspaper, and on his return with it to his Lordship's room, which he entered without knock ing, he surprised his Lordship and Lady Lin coln lying together on a sofa. In November his Lordship accompanied Lady Lincoln to Rome, where they remained till April, when he observed that her Ladyship became somewhat stout. From Rome they went to Frescati, where his Lordship t oo k a p r i va t e resi dence, and they lived together. At Ems he had occasion to go into one of Lady Lincoln's rooms, where he saw some packages of her Ladyship's, marked with the name " Mrs. Lawrence." By Lord BROUGHAM—Was any one else in the room when you surprised her Ladyship and your master on the sofa? Witness—No, my Lord. Mr. Gladstone, M.P., stated that he had been on terms of intimacy with both Lord Lincoln and her Ladyship. Her Ladyship was of a very delicate constitution, and of a peculiar nervous temperament. On the 2d of August, 1848, he dined with his Lordship in Whitehall-place, the day on which her Ladyship left this country; and from that day up to the end of lost year, he knew as a fact, that Lord Lincoln was in this country. Last summer certain rumours reached this country in reference to her La lyship's conduct, and in conse quence of a resolution come to by the mutual friends of Lord and Lady Lincoln he went abroad to seek her Ladyship, with the view of inducing her Ladyship to put herself in a position of security. The rumours which had reached this country admitted of two con structions, and it was just possible that her Ladyship had not fallen into absolute criminality. Hence the motive of his going abroad. He went first to Rome, then to Naples, from thence to Genoa, and eventually to a villa on the Lake of Como, where it was understood her Ladyship was living with Lord Walpole as Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence. He made every endeavour to obtain an in terview with her Ladyship, but did not succeed. On the evening of the day, however, on which he made his last visit he sawat lady and gentleman pass from the villa into a travelling-carriage, followed by a gentleman. He was not able to say positively whether it was Lady Lincoln, but her figure resembled that of her Ladyship. By Lord BROUGHAM—CouId you see whether she was with child or not? Witness—No, my Lord, the lady was wrapped up in cloaks, as if for travelling. Lord BROUGHAM—Do you know if her Ladyship left this country without his Lordship's knowledge or con sent? Witness—Yes, 1 believe she did. Lord BEDESDALE—Are you aware of any communi cations having afterwards passed between his Lordship and her Ladyship? Witness—l believe there was, but Lord Lincoln never answered her letters. Lord BROUGRAM—Do you know what is the extent of her Ladyship's property? Witness—No, my Lord. Lord, BROUGHAM—Do you know that she had a marriage portion of 30,0001.7 Witness—Yes ; I believe she had. Joseph Asmond, the butler of Lord Lincoln, stated that he had known both his Lord s hip a nd her Ladyship for the last nine years. His Lordship had five children, who were all living with him. His Lordship did not leave this country from August, 1848, down to the autumn of last year. Last year, accompanied by his Lordship's solicitor, he went to Verona, where he saw Lady Lincoln. This was on the 20th of September. Her Ladyship was attended by a servant or nurse, who carried a child that appeared to be a few weeks old. He afterwards saw her Ladyship at Nice, and subsequently at a villa on the Lake of Como. Mr. Raffaele, a solicitor, stated that he was applied to by the legal advisers of Lord Lincoln last year, to accompany the last witness to Verona. lie consented to go, and when he arrived at Verona ho saw a lady, whom the last witness represented to be Lady Lincoln, and she was attended by a female servant and a child, that could not be more than a few weeks old. Her Ladyship was going out for a drive. This was on the 17th of September. He saw her again on the 20th. He stopped at the same hotel in Verona, and the landlord told him that her Ladyship passed as Mrs. Lawrence. He endeavoured to obtain the parish re gister of the birth and baptism of the child, but Verona having previously been in a state of political commotion, he could not procure a copy of it. He, however, obtained the certificate of baptism from the Roman Catholic clergyman who baptized the child, which he now pro duced. The child was baptized Horatio William Wal pole, and was described as the child of Horace and Harriet Lawrence. Mr. Ronnisom here intimated that one of the witnesses whom it was intended to call in support of the Bill was not in attendance. Lord BROUGHAM—What would this witness prove? Mr. Robinson stated that he would simply prove that he was in the service of Lord Walpole at the villa on the Lake of Como, and he knew as a fact that the lady who bad resided there, and passed as Mrs. Law rence, was no other than Lady Lincoln. Lord BROUGHAM said, as the child had not been proves to be the offspring of Lady Lincoln, their Lordships had no right to bastardise this child. That there was evidence of adultery on the part of her Ladyship there could be no moral doubt, and he was quite con vinced that any jury would return a verdict to that effect who had heard the history of the sofa scene spoken to by Lord Walpole's own servant. He should thereforemove that the Bill be read a second time. Lord REDESDALE felt deeply interested in this case, and he bad paid a good deal of attention to its details. Now, let their Lordships ()beery° the fact, that the husband even sat there to be examined, and although he did not mean to impute collusion to the parties, it was their Lordships bounden duty to see that none had been practised. Well, then, he for one did not think that there was sufficient evidence to justify the second reading, inasmuch as there was nt thing to show what had been the conduct of the wife before she left this country; while it had been proved beyond all doubt that no sooner had she reached Baden than she was joined by Lord Walpole. Lord BROUGHAM did not think any further evidence ought to be called for, and in replying to the previous Noble Lord, he took the opprtunity of correcting an erroneous statement which had crept into a daily paper. It was stated that he intended to oppose the Bill and resist its progress by browbeating the witnesses. No w , so far from there being any foundation for this state ment, the fact was that this very Bill had been intro duced by himself, and it was not likely that he would be found opposing his own Bill. Lord LANGDALE concurred in the opinion of his Noble and Learned Friend, that there was no evidence of bas tardy on the part of the child, but there was indisputable evidence of the adultery, and the promoters of the Bill were therefore entitled to call upon their Lordships to read it a second time. Lord ILEDESDALE again insisted that the absence of all evidence of what passed between the husband and the wife prior to her leaving England indicated that there was some collusion between the parties. • The Bill was then read a seeond time, and ordered to be committed.

No report was made upo; the health of the City. - - - - BREWERY ACCIDENT. —An accident of a frightful nature occurred about 4 o'clock in the afternoon of Wednes • day last, at the extensive brewery of Messrs. Lyon and Greenalls, Wilderspool, Warrington. It appears that four of the mem employed as brewers at this establishment, named Charles Bate, two Johnsons (father and son), and a man named Cartwright, had been assisting to brew, and after wards to empty grains, the liquor having been run out of the copper into the hopbeck. The operation of emptying grains being a warm one, the men left their job, and pro ceeded to a small apartment in one corner of the building, and not far from the copper pan, for the purpose of getting some refreshment ; when, painful to relate, in a few minutes afterwards a loud crash was heard, which was followed by the falling and bursting of the hopbeck, which had only a short time previously been filled with boiling liquor, computed at about' eighty barrels. The vessel in ques tion was supported at a height of twelve feet from the floor by three huge beams, which rested upon a bricked with the bricked arch underneath. The conseque nce wa s , the bottom of the hop beck was knocked out, and to the horror of the unfortunate men, the boiling liquid rushed in streams to all parts of the building, and more particularly into that place where they were sitting, the poor fellows being literally inundated, being up to their breasts in it, and without the least chance of es cape. As soon as it was found practicable every assistance was rendered to the Sufferers, who were got out with all pos sible haste. Bate was conveyed home quite insensible, being dreadfully scalded; the two Johnsons and Cartwright were also in a similar state. Messrs. Hardy and Hunt, stir• geons, were prompt in their exertions to render every aid, but we are sorry to say they were to little purpose. The un fortunate man Bate, together with the Johnsons, expired during Wednesday night, and Cartwright is not expected to recover.—Sktfield Times.

The elder pri soner is 42 years of age, and, as a manufacturer, he employed from lOU to 200 persons, by whom, and the p u bli c genera ll y , he was much respected. .His son is only 20 years of age.

MAY 29, 1850. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY. - Lieutenant George Melville Jackson has been appointed to the Ajax. A court-martial assembled this morning on hoard the Victory, at nine o'clock, to try Mr. Thomas Coutts, boatswain of the Blenheim, on a charge of drunkenness while on duty on board the Birkenhead, employed in the conveyance of troops, on the 16th instant. Commander Stevens, of the Blenheim, proved the case. The prisoner said, in defence, he had been unwell on the previous day, and was up late that night on duty, and the next morning was up early ; had not time to get any breakfast on the 16th, and took a little spirits instead, which upon his empty stomach overcame him. He had been thirty years in the service, and had always borne a good character. He therefore threw himself upon the mercy of the court. Testimonials of a highly satis factory character were put in from officers under whom he had served, among them Captain Quin, of the Ajax, one of the members of the court. The charge was declared fully proved, and the prisoner was sentenced to be dismissed her Majesty's service, but in consideration of his long servitude and previous good character the court notified they would recom mend the Lords of the Admiralty not to deprive him of his pension.

A SOCIAL STRIKE. A convention of women is reported to have taken place in the state of Ohio, which lasted two days, and resulted in the following declaration of inde pendence : " They wish to participate in making the laws by which they are to be governed. "They wish the same rights, laws, and protection for one sex as for the other. " They state that the servile submission of the women of this country to the unequal and oppressive laws by which they are governed is the fruit of de gradation and ignorance. "They resolve, that their own welfare and the highest good of the sex demand that they should se cure to themselves the elective franchise. " They resolve that the laws in favour of man, to control the persons and property of women, are merely a modified code of the slave plantation, and that is the reason why women sympathise with the suffering slave. " They declare that, as human beings, women are entitled to all the rights that belong by nature to any member of the human " They protest that all distinctions between men and women, social, literary, pecuniary, religious, or political, bat Led on distinction of sex, &c., ought to be abolished at once. " They also say that the practice of holding women to a different standard of morality and propriety is unnatural and highly detrimental to domestic fun and happiness. "‘ . They are perfectly satisfied that a republican government is just as much down upon the women as any hereditary despotism. " They say that all things work in a circle ;' woman must put forth her hands courageously, dis regard public sentiment on many matters, and grasp them in disregard of the usages which have hitherto withheld them from her. " They regard such women as step forth into the world, in the face of sneers and scoffs of the public, to fill large spheres of labour, as the truest preachers of woman's rights." And, last of all, they have passed unanimously the following " whereas" with the "resolutions :" " Whereas ono class of s ciety dooms woman to a life of drudgery, and another to one of dependence and fri volity; and whereas the education she generally receives is calculated to cultivate vanity and dependence, therefore—. " Resolved—That the prevalent ideas of female edu cation are in perfect harmony with the position allotted her by the laws and usages of society. " Resolved—That as woman is not permitted to hold office, nor have any voice in the government, she should not be compelled to pay taxes out of her scanty wages to support men who get eight dollars a day for taking the right to themselves to enact laws for her." few o An the few We ehk oshoei yet.rs-.

On the Banff coast, where curers used to be first to come to terms with the fishermen, there has this year been little or nothing done, and several of their number are going out of the trade. It is believed that many boats' crews will be forced to stay on shore this season, for want of engage ments. Last week a few herrings were caught in nets at Sandside, and along this coast. From Stornoway we learn that, owing to the severity of the weather very little has as yet been done in the herring fishing there.

A RABITY.—On Holy Thursday, the 9th, was exhibited at Liskeard, a rorqual tin-whale, or rasorback (balenortera hoops, balaena museulas), which had been taken the previous day by Thomas Outling, whilst engaged in fishing, by entangling itself in the net. As soon as it was discovered what the " catch" was the men prevented his dis engaging himself, and by keeping him still soon drowned the " monster." It was caught 18 or 20 miles out, and broueht into Polperro. It was supposed to be about twelve months of age. It was 11 feet in length, 7 feet 8 inches in girth and about a ton in weight. The mouth when caugnt was capacious enough to contain two men. Individuals of this species of whale, of the largest size (80 or 100 feet), are sometimes seen on the Cornish coast, but they are very rarely caught; and, consequently, the occurrence of this specimen offered an opportunity tor examination that is not often met with, and which was embraced by great numbers, who soon restored the 1/. paid for the loan of the fish for the purpose of exhibition.—Devonshire Chronicle.
