TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. I Sir,—On Wednesday the 24th, the Bill which pro posed to whip children on the direction of one magis trate, was on the motion of Sir George Strickland thrown out without a division. On the same day Mr. Wood's Bill for allowing of Affirmation before the Courts of Law was thrown out on the motion for going into Committee, by a small majority. The Bill perhaps is not yet so per fect as it might be; not making its stand sufficiently upon the importance of making the jury the judges of the validity of all evidence. Which is argument for the probability of its being made more successful another time. On Thursday the Australian Colonies Government Bill got through another stage; with a large majority for a small House, in favour of the Government's plan, which is the only one which has practical likelihood about it at the present. The House afterwards went through the weariest debate of the session, on the Securities for Advances (Ireland) Bill ; the subject having been exhausted to the extent of everybody's knowing whateverybody would say, and what every body would do. A debate in this position, comes as near to the caput mortuunz of the middle-age philo sophers, as it is easy to imagine. On Friday something like the same scene was pre sented by the discussion on the Distressed Unions Advances and Repayment of Advances (Ireland) Bill in Committee. A livelier change ensued on the mo tion for the Speaker's leaving the chair to go into Committee of Supply. Notion was made that in consideration of the recent changes in the Navigation Laws, and consistently with the state of the revenue, it was expedient the Stamps on Marine Assurances; Bills of Lading, Charter Parties, and other Shipping Documents, should be abolished. It might have to some, that a motion of this kind withoUt the concurrence of the Chancellor of the Excliequer, was mote suited to a desire to inflict punishment for the removal of the Navigation Laws, than to 4 sense of gratitude for having maintained such a policy: The Free-Traders displayed a more digested "policy than on some late occasions, and were very generally found supporting the Government. As long as there is to be a Government, affairs must be conducted with it, and not with Out it ; and though thete are undoubtedly uses and neeegesitlea for occasionally forcing a Government to terms, the uses and neces sities for acting in concert with it are much the more numerous and common of the two. A lively debate followed on the general question of taxation ; brought on by the demand of the agricul tural interest for consideration of their sufferings. It is strange it does not occur to the remonstrants, that there are two kinds of suffering, one from wrong done to the sufferers, and the other from the cessa tion of wrong-doing to others. If the sensations of a leech when it drops off could be given in set terms to the public, there can be little doubt they would be vented in forcible complaints. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN OLD REFORMER. London, 29th April, 1850. IN R ---. Mr. EnA:trwELL applied for a rule calling upon an at torney to 'answer the matters disclosed in the affidavit. The affidavit was made by a lieutenant in the Royal Engineers, and stated that some time ago he was arrested at the suit of a creditor by the sheriff of Devonshire, and being then in difficalties, ho retained the attorney in question to negctiate a settlement of his affairs. He supplied him with money to go to Gravesend and see the deponent's father, a retired colonel in the Royal Engineers, residing at Gravesend, to obtain funds to dis charge the claims of the detaining creditor. This the attorney did, and he received 301. from the deponent's fwher, but he had neglected to apply it to the purpose for which it was handed to him, or to devote it to the &penult's use.—Rule granted. MARLBRO'-STREET = (THIS DAY.) IMPUDENT ROBBERY. — Duncan Mackenzie, - a servant out of place, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing from a bed-room in the Grapes Tavern, Queen street, May-fair, four sovereigns and a half, and other moneys, belonging to Mr. Redmond Bryant. It appeared from the evidence that on Thursday last the prisoner went to the above house and asked for a customer named Molly. On being told that that, person was not in the way, he (prisoner) said he was sorry he was out, as he wanted particularly to see him. The prisoner then requested to be allowed to go upstairs in order to wash himself, which request the barmaid, believing the prisoner to be really a friend of Mr. Hoor;fly's, granted. After being upstairs about half an hour, the prisoner descended, and having, pro cured change for a half-sovereign, gave the waiter and the chambermaid sixpence each, and then left- the house. (in the same evening Mr. Hoocifly called at the Grapes, when be was informed-that the prisoner had been there making inquiries after him, and in conse quence of Mr. Hoody's denying all knowledge of the prisoner the puspiciwia of the, landlord were _exeited ! and on going into the bed-ropm latell occupied by the pris . oner, he found that a desk belonging to one of his lodgers had been forced open. In another room naoining the one occupied by the prisoner he found that Some deers had been broken open, and the contents scattered about - 11,e room. On the return of two of the gentlemen who lodged in those bed-rooms they were informed of the above circumstances, and one of them, Mr. Redmond Bryant, on examining his desk, found that tour and a half sovereigns, a half guinea, and other moneys, had been abstracted therefrom. The other gentleman also niissed a pair of razerk,.whick the prriolart subsequently. offered for sale t fierVailt in Park-lane. Nothing more was seen of the prisoner till Saturday night. Evidence having been offered corroborative of the above the prisoner, who denied the charge, was remanded till Thurs day next. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Linda di C'hamouni was performed on Saturday for the purpose of introducing a new contralto, Mdlle. Ida Bertrand, in the character of Pierotto. Mdlle. Ida Bertrand in figure, in features, in voice, and in manner bears a striking resemblance to Brambilla in her best days, with this advantage, that her intonation is pure and perfect, and has none of that uncertainty which was the great defect of the voice of Brambilla. She acts, too, with more spirit and energy than did Brambilla, while at the same time she is most graceful. She sung the air "Per sua Madre" with great expression and feeling, and achieved a perfect triumph in the duet with Madame Son tag in the second act, " Allor ch' io passo," which was rapturously encored. She was called on at the conclusion of the second act, and again the end of the opera. Of the Linda of Madame Sontag it is impossible to speak in terms of too high eulogy. As Voltaire said of Racine, so we are compelled to say of Madame Sontag, "Perfect, perfect." Whether we regard her Linda as a piece of vocalization witness the beautiful " Luce di quest anima," and the duets with Carlo and with Pierotto ; or as a histrionic performance — witness the scene in which she leaves her home in the first act— witness the scene with her father at the conclusion of the second act—it is " perfect." Signor Baucardi appeared as Carlo, and sung and acted delightfully. He gave the duet "Da quel di" with great taste, and was deservedly encored in the ",Se unto in ira." His singing is full of delicate and pathetic ex pression. We perceive he is to appear on Thursday as Elvino, in the Sonnambula, a part in which we expect he will be very great. Coletti was magnificent as Antonio, Beletti very good as the Prefetto, and F. Lablache an admirable Marquis. His comic humour is of the richest quality. The Truandaise was dar ced between the acts of the opera, and Les .Metamorphoses concluded the performances. The house was crowded to suffocation in every part ; even stand ing room was at a premium in pit and gallery, and every stall was occupied, ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. La Donna del Lago •was repeated on Saturday night. There was no diminution of that artistic excellence and scenic splendour which won for this opera the admiration of the public on its reproduction. Urisi displayed all the beauties of her wonderful vocalisation, and enraptured the audience by her fascinating com bination of histrionic and musical power. To bestow praise upon ➢lario is superfluous. It is "paint ing the hly—giloing refined gold." In his instance a triple encore is a natural incident, which it seems scarcely necessary to note. 241n11e. Meric makes nightly and deserved advances in the public favour, and the rest of the characters fully sus tained the justice of our previous observations. To the two acts of Masaniello, which were again added to the evening's entertainments, the same Fremaiks will apply. The house was densely crowded in every part. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. Oxronn, APRIL 27.—The Professor of Modern European languages on Sir Robert Taylor's foundation will continue his course a lectures on the Literature of Southern Europe on Tuesday, the 30th inst., at two o'clock. These lectures are opt nto all members of the University, and will be delivered at the Taylor Institu tion on Tuesdays and Fridays.

CAMBRIDGE, APRIL 27—ELECTION OF THE MASTER OF CORPUS.—At a meeting cf the fellows this morning the Rev. James Pulling, Fellow and Tutor, was elected Master. Mr. Pulling took his B.A. degree in 1837. The election was unanimous. ASYLUM FOR DECAYED MERCHANTS AT EMS WORTH. —Mr. Dixon, of Scanted, laid on Wednesday the first stone of a handsome edifice, in the Elizabethan style, in tended as an asylum for six decayed merchants of London, and to be called Stanstead College. The site is on the margin of the Park at Rowland Castle, and the estimated cost of the structure is 5,0001., which, with all the endowments, are the gift of Mr. Dixon alone, in whom and Mrs. Dixon, and the testamentary nominees, the right of presentation will be vested. Each of the inmates, or brethren, is to have 50/. per annum and a separate apartment, and spiritual, medical, and domestic attendance and other requisites ; and for ensur• ing the first the incumbency of Red-hill will be spe6ally endowed. The grounds contain about five acres, and there will be a handsome terrace, and for exercise in wet weather a noble vestibule, and for dinner a commodius entrance halt; 50/. per annum will be provided for the domestics, besides board and residence in a house attached to the college.— Hampshire Advertiser. GOVERNMENT INTERMENTS BILL.—OR Tuesday a meeting will take place, at No. 17, Great Bridge-street, Blackfriars, of the Members of the National Association for the Abolition of Burials in Towns and Cities, preparatory to adopting measures to oppose the objectionable clauses of the Metropolitan Interments Bill, or their modification in Committee, and seeking for a General Cemeteries Bill, by which all graveyards in populous towns and cities must be closed. A DESPERATE LovER.—A novel and somewhat romantic scene occurred at the York Railway station on Thursday morning. A detachment of the 81st Regiment of Foot has been stationed for some time at Scarborough, and orders having been received from the War-office for their removal to Berwick, the light company left Scarborough by an early train yesterday week, and arrived at York between ten and eleven o'clock. A young girl, 17 years of age, whose heart had been stolen - by the charms of one of the soldiers, was a passenger in the train, she having taken her fare at Scarborough with the determination of following the devoted object of her affections wheresoever he should go. By some means or other the designs of our heroine became known, and she was consequently introduced to a police officer, who informed her that she could not proceed any further, must forthwith return to Scarborough to her friends. The unwelcome intelligence threw the poor deluded girl into a paroxysm of grief, and she screamed and shrieked most loudly. Recovering, a little from the excite ment of the moment, the infatuated girl declared in an em phatic manner her determination to accompany her lover to Berwick, and used all her energies to effect that object. Seeing that the girl was desperate, " physical force" was brought into requisition, and she was placed in another train, which was then about to proceed to Scarborough. She screamed and shrieked louder than before, exclaiming that as soon as the carriages attained their full speed she would jump out of the window, and thus destroy herself. It was therefore deemed expedient for the girl that some one should take charge of her, and c ne of the railway porters went in the same carriage with her. On the road the porter's task was rather unpleasant, as he had often forcibly to hold his charge upon her seat. —Doncaster Gazette. A ROBBER KILLED.—An awful instance of unex pected punishment for crime occurred at Hove on Saturday morning. On the Friday morning, about 11 o'clock, a man about 45 years old entered the Ship Inn, and partook of re freshments, and on paying, asked if he could have a bed at night. He was told he could, and he said he had walked 30 miles, and being tired, he would retire early. He left in the afternoon, and retrarried in a different dress. At about half past 7 o'clock he asked to go to bed, and was shown by the landlord to a Thorn, the landlord taking the precaution of locking the d'Jors of the adjoining room, and closed the doors of two othe t a. Nothing was heard during the night, but about 5 o'clock on Saturday morning, as David Madgwick, of Southwick, was on his way to Brighton market, he saw a man lying under the window of the inn, bleeding, insensi ble, auct almost dead. Mr. Walters, the landlord, and a neighbour named Akehurst being called up, it was discovered to be the guest of the previous night. and from an umbrella, and a bundle filled with the landlord's bedding by his side, it was inferred he had fallen from the window, 20 feet high, the place beneath being paved with large boulders, while en deavouring to escape with his booty. He was taken to the Sussex County Hospital, and died in three hours, never having spo ten, On Monday, at the inquest held before Mr. Gell, the coroner, other trifling articles found in the bundle were shown, to have been stolen on Friday at an inn at Southwick, but nothing was known ()this name or residence but the police believed him to be a practised thief. The jury recor6ed a verdict in accordance with the facts.—Brighton Ga-zette. KING'S COLLEGE, STlLAlCD.—Yesterday (Sunday) morning, a service was performed in the chapel of the above college, in aid of the funds of the hospital in Portugal street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. The sermon was delivered by the Rev. T. Dale, M.A. ; and in the course of a very warm appeal the Rev. Gentleman alluded both to the densely populated district of King's College Hospital, and to the many thousands of persons who had participated in its be nefits; 19-20ths of that number having been admitted without letters of recommendation. At the conclusion of Divine service a liberal collection was made in aid of the hos- Pital fuel& ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

LIVERPOOL, SLID/LAT.—By the packet-ship Ash burton, Captain Bunting, we have advices from New York to the Bth, and by the Parliament, Captain Brown, to the 9th inst. The advices contain some interesting and important information relative to the search after Sir John Franklin. , Dispatches had been received in New York by Mr. Barclay, her Britannic Majesty's Consul, dated from the vicinity of Lake Superior, tho 16th ult., relative to the exploration on the north coast of America, conducted by Dr. Rae and Lieutenant Pullen, of her Majesty's ship Plover. From these documents it appears that the Ploier's boat expedition had safely traversed the sea coast, the mouth of the Mackenzie River, and had then joined Dr. Rae. No signs of Sir John Franklin's presence on that coast had been discovered, and no accounts had been received of him from any source. Official dispatches are now en route to the Admiralty, and may be expected by the next arrival from New York. The following extracts from a letter from St. Paul's, Minnesota, on the 12th ult., had given rise to much excitement in New York, but the receipt afterwards of the dispatches above referred to at once negatived all anticipations A dog-train arrived here yesterday from some dis tance above Lake Superior, branging news that an American vessel had been seen by some of the Ameri cans, and had sent letters saying that Sir John} Franklin was found. The particulars I cannot learn; however they say he is safe." The following are the communications received by M. Barclay : " Mackenzie ltiver, Sept. 26, 1849, 30 miles below Fort Simpson. " Sir,—lt is the desire of Sir John Richardson, who commanded the recent overland 'searching expedition, that I enclose to your address the accompanying dispatch, liutnble request that it be forwarded tp England `without loss of time. I may mention that it contains a sbon account of my summer visit to the Arctic Sea, via the Coppermine River, which has proved quite unsuccess ful, the gt est quantities of ice preventing us from getting to Wellington's Landing Island. " I have the honour to be, Scc., " JOHN RAE. -" Her Britannic Majesty's Consul, New 'York." " Hudson's bay Company, Feb. 16, 1850.

Behring's Straits to W ainright Inlrt , •by Lieutenant Pullen; thence to the mouth of the Mackenzie River by Dr. Ilse considerably east of the Coppermines, yet neither of these have seen or heard anything of Sir J. Franklin and party. I sincerely trust some of the par ties attempting to penetrant) the Arctic Ocean from the eastward have been more successful. " With much respect, I am your obedient, " JOHN BALIANDER, Chief Factor." From Washington the intelligence is unimportant, Congress continuing to debate the slavery question. A change in the Cabinet was rumoured, and it was reported that Messrs. Webster, Butler, and King would be introduced into the War Department. Amongst the miscellaneous proceedings of the Senate may be noticed the presentation of a memorial from Mr. Henry Grennell, of New York, asking the ap pointment of officers and men and seamen for the ex pedition now fitting out in that city to search for Sir John Franklin. Mr. Clay, on presenting the memo rial, addressed the Senate warmly in its favour. From Mexico, we learn that General Almonte and other parties bad petitioned the Mexican Congress to grant them a charter of incorporation to enable them to connect the Gulf of Mexico with the J'acific Ocean by means of a railroad. The road is to com mence at Vera Cruz within two years, carried 30 leagues in five years thereafter, to the city of Mexico in ten years more, to the Pacific Ocean in another decade. We have advices from San Francisco to the Ist of March received by the steam-ship Oregon, arrived at Panama, and from Chagres by the steam-ships Em pire City and Cherokee, arrived at New York. These steamers conveyed together 3,500,000 dolls. in gold dust. The rivers bad fallen to their ordinary limits, and with the more favourable weather the miners were coming down for supplies, and busi ness was improving. The resources of the mining district were as great as ever, and it was anticipated that large quantities of gold would shortly be received from the interior. Money in Sacramento was high in value, interest per ;month being quoted at 10 to 12 per cent. A large fire oc curred at Chagres on the evening of the 23d of March, by which most of the old town was consumed. The construction of the Panama Railroad had been commenced with spirit in the vicinity of Gcrgona. Rumours were again current in New York of an approaching invasion of Cuba, and a schooner, on the eve of departure for Chagres, had been searched, on the authority of an affidavit made by the Spanish Consul. The steam'-ship Hermann arrived at New York on the 7th inst., after a run of 17 days from South ampton. Jamaica advices to the 29th ult. add nothing to our previous intelligence. The Legislature of Prince Edward's Island had passed a vote of want of confidence, and had refused to grant supplies until a responsible Government should be granted to them. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. MONEY MARKET. _ _ _ Nxw YORK, APRIL 9.—The amount of gold received, the vast trade so suddenly opened to the enterprise of this country, and, what is of still greater importance, the statements so highly coloured and extravagantly exag gerated regarding the receipts from the Pacific, are stimulating to speculation, advancing prices, and in cruising the value of money. The Stock Market closed firm, without any particular tendency to improvement. Cotton—lt was estimated at New York that there would be a falling off in the crop of 275,000 bales; judg ing from the present weather, 20c. a pound fo r choice cotton will soon be about the figure by the Ist of June. Breadstuff., So.—The market for Southern flour is firm, at 5 dolls. to 5 dolls. 61c.; 1,200 barrels of Eastern sold at previous prices. A good demand for Indian corn; 9,500 bushels of Southern and Jersey yellow sold at 57c. Corn-meal dull, at 2 dolls. 69c. to 2 dolls. 75c. for Jersey, and 2 dolls. 87ie. to 3 dolls. for Brandywine. ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.•) LIVERPOOL, MOriDAT MORNING. By the royal mail steam-ship Europa, Captain Leitch, we have advices from New York to the 17th instant. The Tribune reports the satisfactory completion of the Nicaragua treaty. It was about to be signed. The steam-ship Gorgon& had arrived at New York from Clugres with 300,000 dollars in gold dust. The debates in Congress with regard to the admis sion of California, including the whole subject of American slavery, are still protracted, but no deci sive action has as yet taken place. The political excitement in Canada is very much allayed. The Annexationists are quiet, though not asleep. These principles are everywhere discussed, and cannot fail to make an impression on the public mind. The fi nancial condition of the Government does not present a flattering aspect. The Brit►sh and Dutch claims upon Venezuela have been amicably arranged, though we are not informed upon what conditions. Her Britannic Majesty's Admiral, Lord Dun donald, had threatened to blockade the entire coast 'unless that, obnoxious law was repealed by which Venezuela debtors were allowed nine hours before they could be sued by their creditors. It is probable that this has been done. OFF-HAND NOTES FROM A RECENT CASE. (From the Examiner.) COUNSEL PRO.

"In this one passion man can strength enjoy, As fits give vigour just when they destroy; Time, that on all things lays his lenient hand, Yet tames not this ; it sticks to the last eand."— PorE, " It is the deep and mystic hour, When nature sinks into repose," hat finds me weaving out the threads of fate, reviewing the past's eventful page, " And noting, ere they fade away, The little lines of yesterday." In other words, as the first act of the racing drama of 1850 has just closed, and moreover, as we are rapidly ap-roaching the time appointed for the decision of the 2,000 and 1,000 Guineas Stakes, very properly termed the keys to the Derby and Oaks, I conceived it very possible that those who take The Spirit for their guide might wish to have a little ge neral spiritual advice touching the disposition of their purses souls; in consequence, I resolved on devoting one or two of the small hours, when Creation sleeps (a few hours after gas-rise, being highly preferable to any time after sun-rise, for vaticinatory and reflective, as well as for poetical and other purposes) to the publication of a page or two from the " book and volume of my sporting brain," believing I can furnish a few ideas and memoranda that at the present time may considerably as sist the sporting public in arriving at the solution of certain turf problems, now involved in considerable doubt and mystery. Beginning with the PAST. Nothing of sufficient importance having occurred at Liver pool or Warwick, to claim my particular attention, I must leap over them, and one or two other small meetings, to that judgment and Northampton, where the' first great contest of and opinion was fought, much to the disadvantage of the ad mirers of the favourite theory, who were bowled over in nearly every instance; but " Fortune's a changeful jade, a steed whose rein Requires an iron hand. Al times the boldest rider Is unhorsed, left in the deepest mire : anon A child may guide her ;" as the triumphs of the cracks in the forthcoming week will testify. Collingwood was the first trump card played off at North ampton. He won the Trial Stakes there as easily as he has since won the Lansdown Trial Stakes at Bath, both perform ances being accomplished almost without an effort. He has been backed quietly for the Chester Cup to win a good round sum ; and if Peep-o'-day Boy's chance of winning that stake is good, his is much better—at least I think so. The running for the Harlestone Prodnce and Great Northamptonshire Stakes was far from being true; as I remarked in No. 111. of these Sporting Notes, Bee Hunter's defeat by Clelia for the former stake, was attributable "to the state of the ground and drawing the race too fine ;" and the success of Priestess, 4 yrs, Est 101 b, over Chantrey, 4 yrs, Est 131 b, and Osterley, 4 yrs, 7st, in the race for the latter stake, was owing, at least so far as Osterly is concerned, to the curious style in which Mr. Hill's horse was handled; he began by almost running away, cut ting out the work at a great pace, then charging the Hill a la Tartar, was completely pumped out by the time he was half way up the distance, and Priestess, well in hand, won by a length from Chantrey, who had a head the best of Oster ley ; this trio will be heard of to considerable advantage ere many months have passed away. The filly by Slane, out of Receipt, one of the Bretby stud, lately purchased by Mr. Ford of Lori Chesterfield (for Mr. C. G. Kemys Tynte, I believe) won the Althorpe Park Stakes in a canter by three lengths, in 44 seconds; one of the most extraordinary performances on record, beating Pres tige (a known fast one), and Buckhound (said to be the best of the Goodwood youngsters) in the easiest style imaginable. Penang, another member of the Bretby stud, won the Belvoir Castle Stakes, at Crofton Park, with great ease, beating Confidence, and two others; he has materially im proved since last year, will do a good thing some of these days, but I am afraid is of no use for the Derby. Backbiter, after winning the Granby Handicap with lOst 1 llb up, proved to the world that for once he was in form, by winning the (great Metropolitan Stakes at Epsom, carry ing 7.,t 31b (a very easy weight for a 5-year old), a neck from Mounseer, 4 yrs, Est 101 b ; Cheerful, 4 yrs, 6st, losing the second place by a length. Buckhound won the Epsom Two-year-old Stake in a style that speaks volumes for his superiors, Prestige and the Slave filly. - The Newmarket Craven Meeting, in the " good old times," commenced what has since been termed the " legitimate racing season ;" but now-a-days Northampton and Epsom anticipate it in that respect. The first gathering at head• quarters was rendered pecu liarly interesting by the signal defeat of Mickleton and Clelia (who ran fourth and fifth) for the Column Stakes, Longinus and Cariboo having the race to themselves, the former win ning by a head! Cranberry a bad third. This of course settles Mickleton's, Cariboo's, and Cranberry's chances for , the Derby, and Clelia's for the Oaks ; Longinus being cle verly defeated the following day by Nutshell in the spin for the 100 sow. Stakes. The race for the Newmarket Handicap, the truestrun this year was won by Cheerful, 4 yrs, sst 121 b, from end to end , nothing having a chance with her, except the Knighth of Gwynne, 3 yrs, sst 11b, and Herbert, 4 yrs, st oth, however, cleverly disposed of. Hardinge and Officious, respectively, won a couple of stakes ; the former beating Nutcracker and Tomboy in a very slovenly manner ; and ,be n t atter Abdallah and Falcon, in her usual off-hand styl a common canter, by several lengths. erfection, so far as training Osterley, the pitch of p a goes, won the Port Stakes' cleverly, after a very true run race with Lady Evelyn, by half a length ; this, of course, annihilates her ladyship's chance at Chester. Th e S o mersetshire Stak es at Bath, thanks to Halo's break down, was a coup de fortune for Mr. Drinkald with his Sauter-ht -Coup ; and the Dyrham Park Stakes is easy topo saitnnin th win e f o r Deicoon, withou t however improving his Derby market. It is peculiarly remarkable how unfortunate I have been this year in my predictions on the three great handicaps, although singularly successful on all other races. 3 For the Northamptonshire I selected Osterley to win, and Chantrey to fill the second place ; the reckless manner in w hich Osterley was handled sent him past the post a good third; Chantrey, however, was second. For the Metropolitan I placed Cheerful first and Moun seer second; here again I was right with respect to the second horse, but through the wretched pace at which the race was run, I was made anything but cheer ful by seeing my primal choice third. And as if to reach the acme of contrarieties, the race for the Newmarket Handicap, the truest run this year, ended by placing Cheerful and Herbert first and third ; the very animals whom I had selected to be second and third; but "Fortune at my time of life, Although a female moderately fickle, Will hardly leave me (as she's not my wife) For any length of days in such a pickle, To strive to with our fate were such a strife As if the corn-sheaf should oppose the sickle : Men are the sport of circumstances, when The circumstances seem the sport of men." Having touched on the past as much as the limits of this epistle will allow of; before plunging into the future, I have a few words to say on the PRESENT state of the betting market, which, just now, is in a high l y sensitive condition. Rumour, with her hundred tongues , is hard at work on the merits and conditions of various high-bred cattle; reports are rife, telling how Pitsford has beaten Os terley at even weights; how Mayors gave the DutchmClincher, an his work to do; how Ghillie Callum is coughing; how on the strength of his trial with Cariboo, to whom he gave 101bs and a beating, is a wonder; how BHuntert is not up to the mark ; how Bolingbroke, enormous stride, looks and goes as well as his most ar dent admirers could wish ; how John Day is to produce the winners of the 2,000 Guineas and Chester Cup; how John Cosser is to do wonders in the race for the Coop ; h ow Wagner is a rare thing fur the Derby; and how Woodlark may tune up merrily on the banks of the Dee. This, and much more, has made the betting very feverish. For the Guineas, Pitsford, after many ups and downs, was last night once pore elevated to the preraiellhiP ; Dee Hunter gotting TUESDAY.

Sweepstakes of 20 soya nob, for three yrs old and pepper at 6, 7 to 4, and 2 to 1 ; Hardinge oscillated between 3 and 4 to 1 ; and Moultan, Mickleton, and Zadoc were severally backed at small sum% at from 16 to 33 to 1. For the Cup, at Chester, John Day's nags, as usual, were in great force, but looming the background, seve ral dangerous outsiders were on the rive. For some days past the ring have been playing at shuttlecock with Ghillie Callum; he has been rising and falling in the market in the most extraordinary manner imaginable, atone time at 18 and 20 to 1, then up to 10, then back again to 16, and so on. All I have to say respecting him is, take care you don't burn your fingers at this caprioski; for, mark my words, should he go to the post on the Derby day well and fit, there are but few horses, bar Bolingbroke, who can come anywhere near him for stride and pace; he and Bolingbroke look very much like second editions of the Dutchman. Now for a dive into the FUTURE. My opinion on the Derby, as expressed in my ":introductory epistle" of the 18th of March last, remains unaltered. Ghillie Callum, I am convinced, is the best of the Goodwood let, as Sweetheart is of the Danebury. No one, I presume, will doubt Boiingbroke's superiority over the Newmarket divi sion ; and they need not The Italian's over the northern stables, without the dark Mayors shcaild turn out a prodigy, for the Voltigeur party are making a dreadful mistake in their calculations. Should Ghillie Callum go amiss, I shall haul up The Nigger and William the Conqueror; to represent the Sussex stable. Clir,cher I cannot fancy, nor can I any of the fol lowing :—The Knight of Avenel, Mickleton, Blarney, Har dinge, Cyprus, Compass, Mildew, Penang, The Swede, Windhound, Pitsford, John-o'-Groat, Deicoon, Yew-tree, Lady Geraldine colt, Garfortb, Moulton, St. Fabian, Charley, Cranberry, Cadger, and Confidence, whom I set down as a hopeless lot; Nutshell would be my choice from the outside division. For the Oaks, my team must still consist of Probity, Countess of Albemarle, Tingle, and Tiff ; the second and last for choice. At the present time Chantrev, 4 yrs, Est 101 b, would be my pick for the Chester Cup, taking Collingwood, aged, 9st lb ; Cossack, 6 yrs, 9st 21b ; Ellerdale, 6 yrs, Bst 31b ; Esse darius, 4 yrs, 7st 91b; Osterley, 4 yrs, 7st; The Knout, 4 yrs, 6st 81b ; and Gulliver, 4 yrs, sst 81b, as a reserve corps. Two or three of these, however, are very doubtful starters. Herbert and Chicot, at 7st 21b and Gst, are well-in for the Suffolk Stakes. As I remarked before, "The Flyin g Dutchman and Canezou will be the pets of fortune for the Emperor's Plate; and it will be a mere question of health with the former for the Great 300 Sovs. Stakes at Goodwood." The Newmarket First Spring Meeting commences to-day with a Sweepstakes of 300 soy& each, which Solon or Queensberry will win. • A 50 sovs. Stake will go to the Knight of Gwynne; and the matches to William the Conqueror and Surplice. To-morrow Testator ought to win the 300 soya. Stakes, B. C. ; and Brington the Coffee-room Stakes. For the 2,000 Guineas Stakes Nutcracker or Ghio, Zadoc, Hardinge, Mickleton, Beehunter, Moultan, and Pitsford will in all probability be found at the post. The struggle,l ima gins, will be between Beehunter and Pitsford, and may pos sibly end thus : BEEHUNTER PITS FORD HARDINGE ... 3 The remaining races, I opine, will come off as follows WEDNESDAY.

The Amphitrite, 25, Acting Captain Walker, was at St. Blas on the 25th of February, collecting freight for England. She was to be at Valparaiso in April, and to sail on the 25th or 26th of February for Mazanilla, to complete her last shipment of specie.
