The liCit ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom were the So or-General and Mr. Welsby) said he had to show 43 , ‘ "se against a ru l e recen tl y o bt a ined at the instance of Ice executors of her late Majesty the Queen Dowager, toCalling upon th e L or d s C omm i ss ioners of the Treasury show cause why a mandamus should not issue com manding them to pay to such executors the proportion ate part o f h er l ate M a j esty ' s annu i ty o f 100,000/., due to her at the time of her decease, she having died in the middle of a quarter in respect of which such annuity tors Payable.

The question, undoubtedly, would 'end on the construction to be given to the statute Ist rd 2d Wil l i am IV., entitled "An Act for enabling his „ c a jestY to make provision to support the royal dignity -' t he Queen, in case she should survive his Majesty." W ith that view his Majesty w as empowered by that Act t , 4 ) grunt t o t h e Queen D ow ager an annuity of 100 , 00 02, t 0 commence and take effect immediately from and after the decease of his Majesty, and continue from thenceforth forand during thenatural life of her Majesty , and sh a ll b e pa i d and payable out of the Consolidat e d Fund of the United Kingdom of Great Britain a nd Ire !Fla quarterly, o n th e 31st March, 30th June, 30th oPpttreber, and th e 31 s t D ecem b e r, by equal portions, the fi rst payment to be made on such of the said day s a shall first h a pp en a f ter t h e d ecea se of his Majesty. e _ facts were th ese . Hi s Majesty William Iv. died ° the 20th Jun® 1837. The first quar t er ly payment. wu't *itie on the 30th June of that year, and accordingly , Cade;the advice of t h e law o ffi cers of the Crown at that time, her ISlnjesty the Queen Dowager received, shortly after Iho 3011 a June, 94 9 ciwiroep payment Vf the au" TUE SUN, nuity of 100,000/., and it had since been paid regularly on every quarter-day up to and including the 30th Sep• tember, 1849. The next quarter day would have been the 31st Dec, 1849., but her Majesty d patted this life on the 21 Dec., 1849. He (the Attorney-General) un derstood that the claim was made in respect of the two months which her Majesty survived the payment made for the quarter ending on the 30th September, 1849, in other words that there should be paid to her executors two-thirds of the quarter which would have been pay able had she lived until the 31:4 December, 1849. Their Lordships would observe, in point of fact, that if this 1 annuity had accrued de die in diem, like interest on a debt, or a salary for services, her Majesty would have received salary for nineteen days more than she actually lived. Rho received a full quarter fur the ten days previous to the 30th June, 1837, and she received nothing in respect of the quarter ending 31st December, 1849, she having died twenty-nine days be fore that day. The question in this case solely arose upon the construction of the first clause of the statute ' to which he had adverted. If this were a settlement made between two ordinary individuals, he (the Attorney- General) apprehended there could be no doubt or ques tion on the subject. There were two cases of annuity spoken of by conveyancers. One was where an annuity proceeded after the death of the grantor ; then, of course, the first payment was duo at the first quarter after the grantor's death, where the annuity deed di rected the annuity to begin from the death of the grantor, but, at the same time, as it was to be paid at certain stated days of payment throughout the year, the deed provided that the first payment should be made on the first day which occurred after the death of the grantor. It was the invariable practice among conveyancers, whenever the grant of au annuity began from the death of the grantor, to introduce words ap• portioning the payment of the last quarter up to the day of the death of the grantee of the annuity. But where the annuity began from the death of the grantor it was to be paid at certain quarterly days (fixed, as in the Act under consideration), and with respect to the first payment to be made on one of those particular days the ordinary practice was not to make any apportion ment at all. He submitted that no court of law or equity, having regard to the practice of apportionment among conveyancers, would say that her late Majesty the Queen Dowager was entitled to anything after the last quarter's annuity which accrued duo on the quarter's day immediately preceding her death. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. M. D. HILL, Q. 0., followed on the same side. (The case was proceeding when our report left.) EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) The Court took the special paper, but the cases pro ceeded with were devoid of public interest. The LORD CHIEF BARON was absent in the morning owing to his attendance being required at a coroner's inquest on a gentleman namod Sedgwick, who, we bo lieve, was found dead last evening in the immediate neighbourhood of his Lordship's residence where, a few hours previously, he had hien a guest. MARLBRO'-S FREET.--(THISDAY.) IiOBBERY BY AN ERRAND BOY.—John Smith, a lad about 16 years of age, was brought before Mr. Bing ham, charged with stealing a quantity of copper wire, the property of his master, Mr. James Hodge, piano forte string-maker s 51, Greek-street, Soho. The prosecutor deposed that the prisoner bad been in his employ for about four weeks, at a salary of 4s. per week. On Saturday afternoon witness had occasion to go into the workshop, and on looking round the place, he saw several sings of copper wire lying in a corner, doubled up, apparently for the purpose of being more easily carried away. Witness having his suspicions that a robbery was ietuaded, left the shop and com municated with the policema❑ on duty. About five o'clock prosecutor went into the shop again and found that the wire had been removed. A short time after the prisoner was brought to him in custody of the policeman, who had stopped the prisoner with the wire in his possession. The wire was worth Is. per pound wholesale price. Police-constable 27 F, said, about half-past five o'clock on Saturday evening, in consequence of what he heard from the last witness, he followed the prisoner just as he was leaving the prosecutor's shop. He went up to the prisoner and asked what he had got in his pockets? The prisoner replied " nothing but a piece of copper wire, with which I am going to string my banjo." He then handed to witness the ring of wire produced. Witness then took him to the station, where' he was searched, but nothing else was found upon him. He had since discovered that the pri soner had sold a large quantity of wire to two marine store dealers, who were now in court. Ann White, a dealer in mariue stores, Curzon-street, London University, proved purchasing about 16 pounds of the wire, at the rate of sd. per pound. The prisoner was the lad she purchased from. On the last occasion when he came, she refused to have anything to do with him again. He always told her that he lived with Mr. Smith, of Oxford-street, and who gave him the wire to make up his wages. The other marine store dealer said, the prisoner came to him about a week ago, and offered to sell him some copper wire, but, as he refused to tell him how he came by it, he detained it until he could bring some person to satisfy him. The prisoner said he would, and left the shop. As the prisoner did not return, witness gave in formation to the police. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. • ➢IANCHESTER FREE LIBRARY. -- At the meeting of the committee on Thursday last the Mayor announced ad- ditional subscriptions to the extent of 2041. 45., the total amount now subscribed being 7,0371. 53.-31auchcster Ex aminer. ,_. ..... _._ A MERMAID IN SCOTLAND.—In the hyperborean village of Shieldaig, on the western shore of Scotland, a lady appeared the other morning whose visit is likely to throw the sea serpent into the shade. It appears that a number of women had risen pretty early, as their custom is, to go for fuel to the Gascan, when the attention of one was attracted by a number of seamews which were hovering and screaming near the church. On a further inspection she discovered a lady sitting on the rock, with a comb and glass in her haad, singing one of her madrigals in a plaintive voice, and duly pointed her out to the others, who all maintain that they saw the strange apparition. The probability is, that this mermaid was one of the Razaay white seals, which are known to sit frequently on rocks durin g night, uttering plaintive sounds; out so superstitious are the fishers here that not a single boat has put to sea since. EXHIBITION or 1851.—The Perth Courier states that Lord Willoughby d'Eresby has, with his usual libe rality, hired, at his own expense , a house in London for the accommodation of such of the tenants on his extensive es tates as may wish to visit the Great Exhibition. Praise, when jud*.ciously bestowed, tends to encou rage everyone in the pursuit of excellence.—Eliza Cook's Journal. FATAL ACCIDENT.--An extraordinary accident, attended wtth fatal results, occurred iu the park at Badmin ton on Monday last. Mr. Eeles, the park-kceper to his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, was driving a herd of deer from one part of the park to another, and his nephew, Mr. William Eeles, was on horseback assisting him. The deer were driven into a corner and one of them in attempting t o escape, ran under Mr. William Eeles's horse. The terrified horse threw his rider, who fell to the ground upon his head with great violence, and the horse fell upon him. On rais ing the young man he was found to have sustained very serious iujuries. He was taken home in a state of insensi bility. and medical aid instantly 'procured, but he never re covered consciousness, and died in a few hours. The de ceased was a fine young man, about twenty-two years of age. An inquest was subsequently held, before Mr. W. J. Ellis, and a verdict returned of " Accidental Death."— Glocester Journal. SUICIDE OF A CHILD.—John Wilson, aged twelve years, of Skelton, near Carlisle, after being chastised for tying together the tails of two cows standiug opposite each other, comm itted suicide by suspending himself with his woollen comforter, from a beam in the hayloft of his master. —Doncaster Gazette. PITMEN AND MATHEMATICS.—A paragraph has appeared in the papers, stating the fact that the booksellers of Newcastle had observed that most of the standard ma thematical works were purchased by pitmen. The following anecdote is in point. Some years since a gentleman, on his passage from Newcastle to Shields in a steam- boat, went into the engine-room, and found one of the books mentio rather ned— namely, " Emerson's Flustions "—lying on the table black and smutty, evidently much read. He asked the young engineman who read the book? He answered that he did when he had time. Rather surprised at the fact, and presupposing that he was a young man of superior talent, he questioned him upon the subject, stating that himself had studied these matters at the University—had passed, he be lieved, a fair examination—and obtained a creditable degree. With this prelude they entered freely into conversation; and from that time the stranger used all his influence to bring the studious engineman into notice. The engineman is now a distinguished mathematician, and the author of many of the very works alluded to. He had, a short time previous to this interview, ". risen from a bank-trapper to a breaksman in a Newcastle coal-pit, as stated in evidence before the Lords Committee last session ; and is now—Professor Hann, of King's College I—Gateshead Observer. GOOD CRY FOR PROTESTANTS.—A considerable hubbub has been raised by Lady Morgan's controversy with Cardinal Wiseman about the chair of St. Peter. As the dis pute might easily be settled by producing the article of fur ture in question, there is a striking appropriateness, during this particular row, of raising the cry of " Chair ! Chair " Punch. Punch. INDEPENDENT ASSURANCE COMPANY.—THE FOUR Josxrus.—On Saturday, before his Honour Master Tinney, the settlement of the list of contributories was proceeded with. Mr. Roxburgh, on the part of Mr. Hutton, the official manager, appeared to show cause why Mr. Joseph Turnley, lighterman, should not be placed on the list as hav ing applied for thirty shares, and had them allotted, and paid the deposit, but had never signed the deed. Mr. Joseph Turnley, solicitor, stated that the Joseph Turnley upon whom the summons had been served had never applied for shares, or bad anything to do with the company. There were, in fact, four Joseph Turnleys, viz., Joseph the father, Joseph the son, Joseph the cousin, and Joseph the gran df a ther, all li g h ter inen.— (Laughter.) The case was then adjourned, for the production of the right Joseph. NEW FOOD FOR lIORSES.—The lndependance of Brussels says that a M. Moreau has invented a bread for horses, which is very nutritive and economic; it is made as follows i foul-tenths of oaten flour, ground like rye and roughly bolted ; three-tenths of flour and wheat straw ; one tenth of flour of barley, or maize ground in the usual way; one-tenth of rye flour, if the bread is to be preserved fresh, and one-tenthof flour of horse beans. The flour is kneaded in the usual way with a certain proportion of yeast and salt. The dough is baked in an oven, and placed in iron moulds, square in form, and slightly conical ; the crust must not be burned or too much baked, and neither cinder, nor bits cf coal, must attach to it as they disgust the horse. The straw before being ground into flour is chopped up very fine. INSTALLATION OF A NEW MINISTER IN THE MAN CHESTER SYNAGOGUE.-On Saturday afternoon the ceremony of installing the Rev. Dr. Schiller Szinessy, as minister of the old Hebrew congregation in this town, took place. After the conclusion of ,a discourse, the wardens approached the steps of the ark, and conducted the rev. doctor to his oflicial seat ; and the service closed with the usual afternoon prayer. Dr. Schiller Szinessy took an active part in the Hungarian war, and received some severe wounds while fighting on the popular §ide in that struggle,—Manchester Courier. FINE ARTS. THE COUNT AND COUNTESS DE NEUILLY. Two exquisite and characteristic engravings of these illustrious personages have within the last few days been published by Mr. J. Mitchell, at the Royal Library, 33, Old Bond-street. They are copied from portraits taken in 1849, by M. Edward Dubuffe, while the distinguished exiles were residing happily together in their seclusion at Claremont. The re semblance is something wonderful—truly lifelike in its character. Louis Philippe is represented as he was—the remains of a handsome man after years of extraordinary and perilous viscissitudos. Trouble had wrinkled his features and distorted the muscles of a countenance once eminently symmetrical. Even in his old age, however, his face retained about it beauty of the Bourbon contour. The ex• Queen Amelie is portrayed as of snore venerable aspect than her husband—care and anxiety having not only blanched her hair to the whiteness of snow, but expressed itself on her countenance in au ineffaceable hnguor. All those who are any way interested in the misfor tune of the renowned will regard these two exquisite pictures with a peculiar and melancholy satisfaction PRINCESS'S THEATRE. The pieces performed at Windsor Castle on Friday were repeated here on Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Kean and Mr. and Mrs. Keeley played the principal parts in the Prisoner of War, and Mr. and Mrs. Keeley were the Peter and Gertrude in the Loan of a Lover. Both these pieces were played with great spirit, and it should be remarked that the Prisoner of War is got up with the same regard to costume as when it was revived at the Haymarket last year. The pointed hats and short-waisted coats which were fashionable at the beginning of this century are not, to be sure, the most lovely articles in the world, but nevertheless the general effect is pleasing, as will, indeed, almost al ways be the case when correctness of detail is ob served, and there is good taste in the regulating authorities. We beg to refer our readers to a report of the York Currency Meeting, which appears in another part of to-day's Courier. Wherever these meetings have been held, the at tention of reflecting men has been decidedly drawn to the subject. Good must result. For as a considerable portion of the agricultural body, many of the manufacturers and mer chants of our large towns, and many men of study and thought who have devoted much time to the subject, agree in desiring a reformation of the Monetary System—and as the number of these persons', of all classes, is daily increasing, it is extremely desirable that the English people should be placed in a position to give an intelligent verdict on a question which must, before long, be submitted to their decision. The ob ject of these meetings is to make the Currency Question patent to Common Sense: and therefore we recommend the report to which we have referred to an attentive perusal.— Derbyshire Courier.— [A report of the meeting appeared in our Third Edition of Monday last.—ED. Sun.] THE NORTH AMERICAN MAILS.—LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—The Atlantic's mails arrived here this morning from Cork, for dispatch by the Royal Mail steam-ship Africa on Saturday next, the Ist of February. The Cunard Com pany's steamer Cambria, chartered by Messrs. Brown , Ship ley, and Co., agents for thel United States mail steamers, will leave Liverpool on Tuesday next, for Queenstown. The ex pedition with which she has been fitted is remarkable. We understand that the Baltic, one of the American line, is neaped in her dock, otherwise she would have proceeded to Cork immediately on receipt of the intelligence of the At lantic's disaster. The British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship Niagara, Captain Stone, which would leave Boston on the 15th, and Halifax on the 17th inst., bringing New York papers and letters to the 14th, and telegraphic ac counts, via Halifax, to the 16th instant, may be expected to arrive in the Mersey early this (Monday) morning, DEATH OF THE REV. DR. BLACK OF THE BARONY PARISH, GLASGOW. The public will learn with deep regret of the demise of the Rev. Dr. Black of the Barony Parish of Glasgow— a man endeared to the whole commu nity for the zeal and ability with which he discharged the pastoral functions in the most populous parish in Scotland. He retired to Italy a few months ago for the benefit of his health ; but the milder climate of the south failed to remove his malady ; and Thursday's post brought the distressing in telligence. that he departed this life in Florence at 9 r.m. on Wednesday, the 15th current. The sufferer was solaced to the last by the presence and attentions of his amiable partner. —Glasgow Herald THE COUNTESS OF MORNINGTON.—At the Blooms bury County Court, on Saturday, an action was brought by Mrs. Stevens, a dressmaker, to recover from the defendant, the Countess of Mornington, the sum of 6/. 165., for goods supplied. Mr. G. E. Williams, solicitor, Upper Norton street, appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Randall, for the Countess, who pleaded her coverture, and in support of which witnesses were called, who swore to being present at the marriage of the Countess to the Earl of Mornington, at Hampshire, in the year 1828. Mr. Williams—Your Honour, in other cases heard before you, when the same plea has been made, your decision has always been adverse to her Ladyship. His Honour—Yes, but on those occasions there has been no proof, as now, of the marriage. Mr. Williams — I am not in a position at present, although I shall be, to show that the Countess is separated from the Earl, and has a se parate maintenance allowed her by the Court of Chancery of 1,0001. per annum. His Honour—Then you had better be nonsuited, and commence fresh proceedings against the Countess jointly with her husband, when you may subpoena her to attend, and proving, from her own lips, the truth of what you state, my judgment will be for the plaintiff. To this Mr. Williams consented, and the case was entered as a nonsuit. BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—At the half-yearly general meeting of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company, on Friday, a satisfactory report was presented, from which it appeared that the total receipts of the half year were 31 1 ,2191., being 19,8621. increase on the same pe riod of 1819. The balance remaining for dividend was 124,2541., which, at 2/. 12s. per cent. for the half-year, would take 120,006/. of this amount, leaving a balance of 4,248/. to the credit of the next half-year. The chairman, Mr. Laing, congratulated the shareholders on the completion of the new London-bridge station, and the remainder of the works, which he was happy to say had been completed within the estimate. 7 he amount he gave them in 1849 of the liabilities for the works in progress and to be undertaken was 390,0001, and the assets were put down at 145,000/. On the realisa tion of the assets and the completion of the works, it was now found that a margin of about 25,0001., besides the sur plus lands, remained available, of the estimated final capital of 7,200,0001„ which sum he fully expected would not be ex ceeded, and would close the capital account. After some discussion of a very favourable nature, the dividend of 21. 12s. per cent. for the ,half-year was agreed to, and the report passed unanimously. STEAM COMMUNICATION BETWEEN GLASGOW AND LONDON.—It is something new in the history of the Clyde to have direct steam communication with London. This has, however, been projected, and a few days more will suffice to tell whether it is an experiment likely to prove successful, though it is certain that the advantages to manufacturers are obvious, in getting by this means their goods transmitted to the metropolis without being subjected to the risks of tran shipment. It is possibly calculations of this kind that have induced the owners of the fine new iron screw steamer Euro pean.to place her on the line between Glasgow and London direct. She leaves the Broomielaw on Saturday first, on her first voyage, taking with her, we understand, nearly 800 tons of general cargo; and it is confidently anticipated that the voyage, a long one undoubtedly, will be accomplished within four days. It is dependent on the state of the wea ther, whether she will shape her course northward or south ward ; but as the former is the shorter route, it will likely be taken. — North British Mail. MILDNESS OF THE SEASON.—As Mr. B. Saw.' bridge, of Rempstone, was removing a portion of a straw stack in Mr. Hopkins's yaial, a few days ago, he discovered a newly-built robia's nest with four eggs in it.— Notts Guar dian. OLLERTON.—THE SEASON.—The weather during this last week has been most cheering for out-door employ ment. The sun has put forth his beauteous rays, and the th e wi n g. are decked with flowers. Butterflies are strong on the wing. The woodlark has commenced his sweet lay, and the Blackbird sings a song. This is, at present, one of the mildest winters ever known.—Notts Paper. ST. ANDREW'S, HOLBORN.—HANDSOME TESTIMO- Nim..—The subscriptions for an appropriate mark of respect to John Robert Taylor, Esq., of Chancery-lane, and Red Lion-square, has, it was stated on Saturday last, already ap proached 150 guineas. The exertions of this gentleman in behalf of" Baths and Wash-houses" for the poor of the parish of St. Andrew's, and St. George the Martyr, and also for the public improvement of Chancery-lane, was warmly commented upon, and a hope expressed, concurrently by all parties, that the testimonial would be fully worthy of presentation to so truly a philanthropic an individual. The final arrangement of this demonstration of good feeling is in the hands of Messrs. Matthew and Drew, of Holborn, and other gentlemen. BLOCK OF COAL FOR THE EXHIBITION.—It gives us much pleasure to state that this important coal field (Swansea) will not be unrepresented in the forthcoming In dustrial Exhibition, our townsmen, Messrs. James and Au brey, having now on their wharf here, on its way to London, a magnificent block of their anthracite or stone coal. This piece of coal is an oblong of about 7 ft. by 4 1 / 2 ft. by 3 ft., weighing nearly four tons, and, considering that it is ex tracted from a vein only four feet thick of the hardest coal known, will, we think, prove an interesting and not unwor thy rival of the piece which we noticed in a former num ber as about to be sent from the Ten-yard seam in the neighbourhood of Tipton, which is comparatively soft. This coal was extracted at a distance under ground of about half a mile, from the bottom of the pit, to which and up which— a depth of 106 yards—it was conveyed without any addition to the ordinary means in use for the daily working of the pit, which is a balance pit. The colliers, with that good spirit which we have seldom found wanting in Welsh workmen, willingly gave up to the pur pose nearly three days, the only pay they asked for being some" Cwrw da," to celebrate the safe landing of the mon ster. This fuel, which has some most valuable properties, is used throughout the whole district whence it comes for steam boilers, and ought to be used for such purposes in all localities where eimoke, soot, and dust are injurious, as it pro duces in burning neither the one nor the other; and we have heard that it is probable that Messrs. James and Aubrey's offer to supply gratuitously a sufficient quantity for the use of one boiler fire during the period that the Exhibition will open will be accepted by the Commissioners.—Cambrian. THE PAPER AND THE ADVERTISEMENT DUTIES. —We believe we are justified in stating that it is the inten tion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to reduce both the paper and the advertisement duties to one-third their present amount. The advertisement duty, in that case, will be only sixpence. The relief, in both instances, will no doubt be considerable to the classes on whom the two taxes press with the greatest force; but it is to be regretted that Sir Charles Wood should persist in retaining any portion of imposts which are so obnoxious, as well as injurious. His notion is, that the consumpti on of paper will, in consequence of the reduction by two-thirds of the present tax, produce at least half the amount of revenue just now derived from that source ; while in the case of the advertisement duty, he calculates that a reduction from eighteenpence to sixpence will so ma terially increase the number of advertisements, that in the course of a year or two the amount of revenue received under that head will not be much lets than it is at present. The Right Hon. Gentleman seems to have taken a strange fancy of late to the reduction of taxation on the two-thirds prin ciple. That is the principle on which ho means to proceed in the case of the window duties. These duties, yieldi ng 1,800,0001. per annum, are to be abolished ; but then a house tax, yielding 600,0001., is to be substituted. If the country only makes a vigorous effort, all the three taxes will be swept off entirely—window tax, paper tax, and the duties on 4(1)7044025ta.- Ado/liar. SPORTING NOTES. No. IV. ANALYSIS OF THE SEVENTY-SECOND DERBY. "i'll look into the seeds of tim3, And see which grain will grow, and which will not." SHAIISPERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—To use the phraseology of the Stock -Exchange, THE BETTING MARKET during the past week has ruled remarkably bullish, al most all the fancy nags for the various stakes in the market having been quoted at an advance of from one to twenty points; this looks healthy at this early period of the year, and leads one to infer that the season we are about to enter upon will be one of the most brilliant on record. Speculation at the list houses has extended over a wide field, including the steeplechase to be run at Southern to-morrow, for which, the British Yeoman, 10 it 101 b, is in great force at from 3 to 2 to 1; Verax, 19st 21b, firm at 3 to 1; St. Helier, lOst 3!b, at 4 to 1; and Spring Buck, lOst 71b, Mulligan, lOst, and The General, 9st 121 b, aro not without supporters at from stoBto 1. I opine (barring accidents by flood and field) the first three at the finish will be those at the top of the betting; and were I to invest on such ticklish sffairs, I should specu late for the Yeoman being the first in the quadrupedal scroll of fame to-morrow, with St. Helier and Verax in the second and third positions, in very close attendance; but steeplechasing is rather out of my line of business, there being too much trusting to chance, and too little to judgment in it, to please my fancy. A few transactions have placed Vain Hope, Abd-el- Kader, Maria Day, and Sir John foremost on the lists fir the Liverpool Steeplechase, the first two at 12, and the latter couple at 15 to 1, but very little doing, in con• sequence of the late appearance of the weights. Within the last day or two the Northampton and New market Handicaps have been brought rather prominently into notice by a good many investments having been made on Chief Justice, Cocktail, and Nutmeg for the former, and on The Cutter, Recruit, and Legerdemain for the latter stake; Cocktail at thirty, and The Cutler at fifteen to one, being in most request. Baby, Sunrise, Exeter, and St. Rosalie are severally in force for the Metropolitan, at a slight advance on the prices quoted in my last note. The upward move has been pretty gene • ral on the Chester Cup during the past week ; Rhesus has been backed for a good round sum in public and private, and has advanced to 12 to 1 ; it is difficult to obtain more than 61 to 1 about Cossack, or 18 about the Italian; Haricot and Lady Evelyn are marked 25, the Knight of Avenel and Wallflower, 30 to 1 each; among the outsiders, Woolwich, at so, has many admirers, Sauter-le-Coupe, at 66, has several, and one or two are to be found who invest their loose cash at long-shots on Strap, the quondam Fitzallen of other days, who, at three years old, ran fourth for the memorable Chester Cup of 1845, when the public and myself had the intrepidity to hack any and everything but Mr. Skerratt's halt bred son of Accident, who won easily. For the Derby Grecian is uncommonly steady at 5 to 1, Prime Minister at 13 to 2, Newminster and the Mountain Sylph colt at 12 to 1 each, and Constellation at 33 to 1; but little has been done about any others, with the exception of Lightfoot, who has been sent to the right-about, as he ought to have been long ago; on Monday be was pep pered at 66, on Thursday at 100, and on Friday and Saturday at 200 to 1! _ _ It will be seen by the foregoing account of the market that there is nothing particularly " rotten in the state of Denmark," but a' contraire, that the speculative de partment of the turf is i❑ as blooming a condition as the vegitation in the Isle of Wigbt, where the sprouting trees and flowers, together with the early birds, have evidently 13€ en led astray by Dame Nature, under the 'delusion that it was the end of March or beginning of April instead of January 4, Firstling of the year, stern month of chills, Whose breath is cold and dumb ; Yet promise dost thou give, cold friend, Of glowing skies to come." I shall now turn my attention to the greatest racing stake in the universe, 'yclept THE DERBY, - • now in its seventy-second year, having been established by the grandfather of the present Lord Stanley, the late Earl of Derby, in 1780, as a sweepstakes of fifty guineas each, h ft, for three years old; colts, Bst; fillies, 7st 1 llb; over the last mile. The conditions were altered in 1784, in respect to the weights and distance • the former to be, colts, Bst 31b; fillies, Sat; and the latter, the last mile and a half. In 1807 the weights were altered again, to what they have remained ever since, viz., colts, Bst 71b; fillies, Bst 21b. In 1848 the New Derby Course, one mile and a half, as originally proposed, I believe, by Lord George Ben tinck, was finished; and Surplice, the produce of Lord George's celebrated, mare, Crucifix (the winner of the One and Two Thousand Guineas and Oaks) was the first to travel over it a Derby victor, and destined afterwards to be renowned as the dissolver of the champion charm —winning both Derby and St. Leger. The levels of the New Derby Course, as far as a rough measurement will allow me to judge, are as follows : In the first 100 yards it rises 1 foot in 18 In the next 120 yards it rises 1 foot in 16 In the next 130 yards it rises 1 foot in 17 In the next 160 yards it rises 1 foot in 18 In the next 213 yards it rises 1 foot in 40 In the next 155 yards it rises 1 foot in 25 (Hero it joins the old course ) In the next 120 yards it rises 1 foot in 48 (Here ends " the hill.") The next 720 yards are nearly flat, then a gradual descent of one foot in seventy-five for the next 280 yards, then one in forty-five for the next 180 yards, then one in fifty-two for the next 104 yards, then nearly fist for 116 yards, and ends on a steady rise from " the distance" to the beginning of the stand of one foot in thirty, and from the stand to the winning-post of one in twenty-two; a very severe finish. For the hill por tion of the above I am indebted to Bell's Life in London of 1848. The Derby is a stake on whi c h my prognostications are, generally, remarkably correct, never having been absolutely wrong, except in the instance of Voltigeur last year, to whom, however, I assigned the fourth place; and hitherto it has been m y annual custom to lay before the public, early in the year, a handicap of the Derby favourites, showing in wh a t d egree o f es timation I hold them; this scheme of mine having in previous years met with very general approbation, I give it again as under, taking The Prime Minister and Newminster es my standards of excellence this year, as I did The Flying Dutchman and Tadmor in 1849, a n d Surplice and Springy Jack in 1818. st lbl The Prime Minister - 8 7 Newminster Grecian Lamartino 8 3 8 3 R I It ° nu S t ormon y t a m i ne Sy l P . . h 800 Balsamo Hernand€z Tearaway colt Bro. to Drakelow A riot° . . st lb Teddiogton 7 10 Bonnie Dundee 7 10 Constellation Black Doctor 7 10 &gland's Glory Prinaitius 7 9 The Ban .

BRILLIANT RUN WITH THE RUFFORD HOUNDS. — On Tuesday last, these hounds met at Glappwell Toll bar, and the morning being as fine as the most fasti dious sportsman could desire, it drew forth the goodly number of about seventy horsemen; at eleven' oclock they proceeded to the Hardwick covers, which proved a blank (although a fox was seen by some footmen after the hounds had gone away), Newton Wood was the next cover tried, and shortly after the hounds had en tered, a well known whimper soon gave tongue, which in dicated that Reynard was at home; this was quickly responded to by the gallant pack being in full cry; a view, Tally ho! was joyfully shouted by the sportsmen, but Beynard could not get away, and made another ring round the wood; he at last broke away in gallant style, the whole pack being close upon him, in the direction for Newton. He crossed by Littlemoor, then by Tib shelf pits, from thence he made direct to Hurst House, the residence of John Chambers, Esq., where he crossed the pleasure grounds in front of the house (where he had fetched, and feasted on, a fine turkey only three nights before), from Hurst he continued his course to Biggin cover, leaving Hardstaff village on the left, thence to Astwith and Stainsby, direct for Holme Wood, pass ing to William'horpe Wood, and crossing the Mansfield turnpike, made direct for Sutton Springs, passing through this large cover to Calow-green, rounding Ca low-green, turning to the left up the valley below Has land, where the hounds had a long check, and virtually gave up for lost; the few who were up considering they had had enough. The run lasted one hour and five minutes, and from the swiftness of the pace throughout, and the heavy state of the ground through the rain which bad fallen the previous night, there would have been a very select few, had the hounds gone a couple of miles further. Reynard was seen to cross the turnpike above 'Rutland, into the grounds of Captain Dobson, of Hasland Hall, and it was evident he was no stranger to the country, for he was going straight ahead for Win gerworth Woods. We saw many coats which had changed their colour during the run, the heavy state of the ground causing the horses to make frequent mistakes in fencing. Newton Wood is a capital cover; it is on the border fence of Nottinghamshire, I miles south of Hardwick Hall, 1 mile from Tibshelf village, and 1 mile from Newton and Black% ell villages. Thus ended the second good run from the favourite cover of the late J. Musters, Esq.—Derbyshire Courier. Their Royal Highnesses the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Meoklinburgh-Strelitz left London on Saturday, at half-past eleven o'clock, by express train on the South-Eastern Railway, for Dover, en route for the Continent. Their Royal Highnesses were accompanied to the London-bridge Terminus by his Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge and their Royal High nesses the Duche s s D owage r of Cambridge and the Princess Mary. " RUINOUS EFFECT OF FREE TRADE. " —We have to record another instance of the consequence of the " blight ing measure" of free trade, under which one of the institu tions of in the country is suff er i ng severe ly— we a ll u de to the institutionution of bankruptcy, which i s a t a ver y l ow e bb, espe cially this city. The year 1847, famous for its dear bread, was one of remarkable prosperity to this great interest, al though the free traders and the commercial world will per sist in calling that year a disastrous one, but ever since that its business has been gradually declining. A splendid build ing has been erected in a most eligible situation, every ac commodation is afforded; the learned commissioner, like the principal man of business in a great commercial house, is assiduous in his attention. He rarely misses a day, but after all the concern won't take. The worshipful registrar rarely mounts his wig, his duties are of the easiest description —the official assignees watch in vain for that fertilizing shower of fiats which, "in the good old times," flowed down so plentifully—and Mr. Bullivant's messengers stand idly by waiting for engagements which won't come. A certain well-known auctioneer, who has all the business in his line of the court, feels much dissatisfied, he is become a most zealous Protectionist, complains loudly of the badness of the times, and declares, that unless some sort of protection be restored, this venerable institution, like many others, must perish and come to naught.— Western Times. SEIZURE OF AN ILLICIT DISTILLERY.-011 Satur day Mr. Sullivant, a revenue-officer, seized a very extensive private still that was being worked in some vaults formerly attached to a Dissenting chapel in Burton-crescent. He cap tured one man on the premises, and took him before Mr. Tyrwhitt, at Clerkenwell-court, who ordered him to pay 301., or be imprisoned for three months. An immense quantity of illicitly-manufactured spirits, together with the various apparatuses used in the illicit distillation, were removed to her Majesty's stores, Old Broad-street, in the course of the day. THE LATE R. THORPE, ESQ SURGEON. — This eminent surgeon died on Tuesday at his residence in Picca dilly, in the 63rd or 64th year of his age. He was known not only in Manchester, but throughout the kingdom, as one of the cleverest anatomists and operating surgeons the three kingdoms contained. Mr. Thorpe was the son of Mr. John Thorpe, himself an eminent surgeon, who resided in King street for a number of years. The funeral will take place on Wednesday next, at Blacklen, where the family possess a grave. The medical staff of the Idfirmary propose paying a last tribute of respect to their departed colleague, but beyond that, the proceedings will be private, in accordance with the well-known feelings of the deceased gentleman.— Manchestez Courier. DEATH or LORD DALMENY.—lntelligence was received in town yesterday of the death of Lord Dalmeny, ellest son of the Earl of Rosebery. The melancholy event took place on Thursday morning at Dalmeny- park, Linlith gowshire. His Lordship was born in 1809, and in 1843 married the Lady Wilhelmina Stanhope, only daughter of the fourth Earl Stanhope and sister of Lord Mahon. His Lordship was appointed Vice-Lieutenant of Linlithgowshire in 1844, and during a number of years represented the Stir ling district of burghs in Parliament. The sister of the late Lord, the Lady Anne Primrose, married Mr. Henry Tuffnell about three years ago. WARNING TO SHOOTERS WITH GUN COTTON.—On Tuesday afternoon, the 14th instant, Henry Christie, a fine youth, about fourteen years of age, second son of Captain Christie, Ilillend, Clackmannan, was shooting along with others at a target. His powder having run down, a game-keeper standing near offered to load his gun with gun cotton ; to which the youth agreed, and then proceeded to fire it. Whether it was from too much of this explosive and dangerous article being put into the gun, or from the gun not being adapted for the stuff, is not known ; but when the trigger was drawn, the barrel burst over the left hand, tear ing off the thumb and part of the finger, and shattering the rest of the hand in a dreadful manner. Medical aid was speedily procured, when it was decided that the only chance of saving the boy's life was by amputation. The hand was accordingly amputated (the patient being under chloroform) about two inches above the wrist; and we are happy to add that the case is now going on favourably.—Perth Paper. THE NORTHERN COAL MINING COMPANY.—On Friday a call of 101. per share on the contributories excluded from the last list, was declared by Master Tinney, and which, if paid, will produce 70V/. The solicitor of the official ma nager stated that the liabilities of the company amounted to about 120,000/. ; but that, on the supposition that this and the previous calls would come in, and the other assets realize a fair value in the market, there would probably be sufficient funds to pay off the debts. SUICIDE BY OIL OF ALMONDS.—On Monday night last, Mr. Smith, of St. Andrew's, confectioner, had just finished the drawing for a monster twelfth-cake and other prizes, when he fell into a dispute with his shop-maid, daughter of his housekeeper, respecting her conduct. The quarrel became violent, and both parties were much excited, the housekeeper taking part with her daughter against the charges which Mr. Smith had made.

PAPAL AGGREESION.—In connexion with this sub• ject we may state that on the publication of Lord John Rus. sell's manifesto, in which be announced that the law officers of the Crown would look into the law of the question to ascertain whether there was any ground for a prosecution, the Cardinal at once gave instructions to a legal gentleman of eminence to take the necessary measures for his defence. Some time having elapsed without any movement on the part of the law officers of the Crown, the Cardinal's legal adviser addressed a letter to them, inquiring whether any legal proceedings were contemplated, and if so, what form the prosecution would assume. After some delay a reply was received from the Government stating that it was not their intention to institute any legal proceedings, the law in its present state not being applicable to the act of the Car dinal, and that the question would be reserved for legislative consideration.

Our continued de nunciations of this absolutist alliance were answered with the assurance that Austria was as liberal as Prussia; that the statesmen of Vienna were highly enlightened, sincerely bent on establishing a constitution; that their object in Germany was to reform the Diet, liberalise and improve it. In short, the Germans and the princes had but put their trust in the Emperor Nicholas and Prince Schwarzenberg, in order to be dealt with fairly and wisely. By this time, however, not merely the people, but the princes of Germany, have been made aware what they are to expect from the unresisted ascendancy of Austrian policy and arms. As far ns constitutional government is concerned, the Court of Vienna has flung off the mask, disavows and scouts the idea. With educa tion surrendered to the Jesuits, the old provincial im munities and privileges destroyed, the recent decree re specting the organisation of ju , tice has been such, that even Schmerling did not think it consistent with the little liberalism that was in him to remain in such a Go vernment. He has resigned. The regime of the Aus trian empire has in fact been assimilated to that of Russia, and by so doing it has retrograded a century. It is now an unmitigated military and religious des- potism. Notwithstanding this assimilatien of Vienna to St. Petersburgh it was still thought that the victorious Powers would not altogether treat the rest cf Germany like Poland. That the old Diet would be restored was, indeed, inevitable; but then it was hoped that the basis would be widened, that concessions would he made to the spirit of the age, that some guarantee of fairness, some hope of improvement, would be held out. Nothing of the kind. The hetman of a horde of Cossacks, who had taken possession of Frankfort in a bold and sudden maraud, could not have proceeded to reconstitute the German Diet with more ignorance, more passion, more petty vindictiveness, and more crass stupidity, than the Russian and Austrian statesmen have dictated at Dresden. Not but that the rule of their conduct has been simple. It is this: Strike out from the powers to be represented in the council of the Diet all those who have offended Austria; turn out all the independent princes, or lump them together so as to render their vote null; and con centrate all power in the great powers, or in the four kings. Absorb, reduce, and destroy the protestant and the German interest in the Diet, making the Catholic and the non-German influence predomin ate. In the old Diet there were two commits, a smaller and a larger one. The latter, however, was so cumbersome to unite, that all business and political influence was con fined to the smaller council, which in fact was, as it will be, the Diet. This was composed of 17 votes, of which Austria and Prussia had each one, the tour kingdoms of Bavaria, Wurtemburg, Saxony, and Hanover each one. So had Baden, Hesse Electorate, Hesse Darmstadt, Hol stein, and Luxemburg. Brunswick and Nassau had a vote. The ducal courts of Saxony had their vote, so the Mecklenburgs, Oldenburg, and Scwartzburg; and the free cities had a vote. The reorganisation of the Diet by Schwarzenberg sweeps clean the whole of western Germany out of the least influence in the Diet. Austria and Prussia, with each two votes, and the four kings with one each, con stitute, in fact, the Diet; but three more votes being allowed, and these three divided amongst the lesser powers, in such a way as they cannot possibly use them. Baden is nearly as large as Wurtemburg; Baden and the two Hesses are twice as large as Wurtemburg; but Wur temburg has a vote, whilst Baden and the two Hesses are lumped together to form a vote. These three countries constitute the states of the German territory along the Rhine and the French frontier. These princes and popu lations ought, for obvious reasons, to be chiefly interested in the strength, dignity, and concord of the new German confederation. But, lo! they are left out, treated as of no notice, their princes mediatized, as far as German politics go, and their people disfranchised, for the Frankfort Diet, in:which they have no voice, can control or crush their every progress. It were not pos sible to invent a system which should so completely turn over the better and western portion of Germany to France as this scheme. As to Holstein, Luxemburg, and the free cities of Frankfort and Hamburgh, they are flung clean out of the confederation; so are Brunswick Ind Nassau. The Saxe Coburgs and Gothas in the centre of Germany are linked to the Mecklenburgs in she north—tied, in fact, as faggots so as to preclude any common will or motive. All these powers have entered their solemn protest. They see clearly that this politi cal spoliation is to be followed by a Polonization—that is, a division of western Germany amongst its eastern potentates. It might not be so difficult to get rid of the princes, if the people were interested in the change, but on the contrary, the princes are to be proscribed, as in Poland, merely for the sake of enslavi►,g the people. When we add to this, that the advantages and ascendancy allotted to the four kings are given to them personally, not to their countries, for their courts are all at variance with their chambers, and with all classes of their population—and, in truth, they accepted their powerfrom Russia, and from Austria, solely on the condition of nullifying and putting down the constitu tion and the freedom of their people—we leave any im partial person to decide how fair and wise, or how likely ,0 be durable is such a re-organization of Germany as ibis. Never, indeed, save the great example of Poland, do we recollect an instance of brute force being so n kedly applied in dealing with the affairs of a great nation. The kings and statesmen of the congress of 1814 have been considered sufficiently despotic, and grudgingly constitu tional; but Alexander and Metternich wens men of ex treme liberality compared with the Nicholases and the Schwarzenburgs; the Russians would not have been mad enough then to treat Germany like Poland, were the Germans base enough to suffer tr. Germany, however, so far differs from Poland, that there is at least one of its great powers that cannot be made altogether absolutist in its policy, or despotic in its administration. And this power can alone offer any effectual resistance to the new Frankfort Diet. This power is Prussia. It has succumbed, indeed, and pur chased peace, by a complete surrender of every liberal cause or principle beyond its frontier. Prussia, too, will be in a minority in the new Diet. Austria, with the four kings, having six votes, constitute the majority. So that the five allies of Bregenz have got all the allies of Erfurt in their pocket. But how far is this power to extend and to be exercised? Is the Diet to overule the con stitution and administration of other states? Is the Elector of Hesse not to grant a constitution, or the King of Prussia not to give an electoral law without the per mission of the Diet? Manteuffel has given up every thing but this , and give up this he would no doubt, for he owns no God but fear. But will he find it safe to do so? For this great and last resolve we must wait. From the continued attacks of the Schwarzenberg organ, the Times, upon Prussia, we should argue that Austria is not quite content with Prussia's submission. There is still some hitch. The Prussian Court does not boar the political knout with resignation, and therefore the Austrian organs, which one should think might be more magnanimous towards an humbled foe, continue to insult and spit upon Prussia and its King. We do not, for our own part, feel at all disposed to defend the Pros sian Court, especially against tho slanders of that party with which it has leagued. We would merely hint, that no writer, really acquainted with the true state of things and persons at Berlin, would at present s h e d un necessary insults on Frederick Williarr. But what the Times said on Friday of Prussia and its institutions is uttered in such complete ignorance or contradiction of facts, that we must expend a sentence in correcting them. The Times represents the Prussian system as essen tially despotic in those minor details in which it argues that the Austrian regime is to be preferred. Now, with respect to " minor details," let us remark: That Prussia has enjoyed municipal government for upwards of forty years, its civic authorities being elected by the householders since 1808; whereas in Aus tria and Bavaria there are no authorities, munici pal or otherwise, except those nominated by Govern ment. Prussia, moreover, since 1823, has had provincial councils, also elected by the people, with large influ ence es the provincial administration, such as exists nowhere on the continent except in Belgium and Holland. These are the "minor details" of the Prussian system, which, if permanently completed by the Parliamentary system, cannot but lead to the political education and emancipation of the people who enjoy them. Prussia has certainly failed in achieving anything for Germany during a tentative of three years. Her middle and intelligect classes and statesmen have not been able to keep down the fury of the mob with one hand, and conciliate the despotic Lords of a million of soldiers with the other. If the Gagerns and the Arnima and the Radowitzes have failed in this, it is that they have had obstacles to encounter such as neither Pym and Hamp den, nor Somers and Godolphin, nor yet Walpole knew. The task of regenerating and emancipating Germany was a gigantic one, and remains a gigantic one. Popular Germany and princely Prussia have alike failed in it. But there are still strong elements in both for resuming the task and renewing the struggle. We have no durable prejudice or party tie that would prevent us even now from appreciating and doing 40 9 ' lice to any fair effort . of Austria to reconstitute_br.f: Ger many in accordance with its true interests, and it Eh . spirit of the age.

AMERICAN NEWS, ARRIVAL OF THE PACKET-SHIP REVERE. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY, 11. r.m. . , By the arrival at this port tonight of the packet ship Revere, Captain Howes, after a remarkably , quick run of 15i days from Boston, we have re ceived accounts from that city to the 10th, and from New York to the 9th instant, inclusive. During her passage the Revere encountered heavy westerly gales. The United States mail steamer Washington, Cap tain Floyd, arrived out at New York oa the Bth inst. She left Cowes on the 21st of December—three days before the Atlanti c departed from Liverpool. The packet-ship J. Z. and Fidelia arrived at New York on the Bth instant, from Liverpool. The Boston Atlas of the 10th announces that the Royal steam-ship Niagara had been seized for a vio lation of the revenue laws of the United States. We question the accuracy of the report, and are at least satisfied that the affair will not delay the ship's departure on the 151 h instant with the usual mails for this port. Our accounts are politically of little importance. Since the Baltic's departure Congress had not trans acted any business of European interest, and o ur files are almost exclusively occupied by messages from the Governors of Florida, Illinois, p eonsy l. vania, &c. From the Philadelphia journals we learn that the annual message of Governor Johnstone was delivered to the Pennsylvanian Legislature on the Bth instant. The message stated that the actual indebtedness of the State on the 30th of November last was 40,310,094 dollar!. It has been diminished a little mote than half a million since the 30th of November, 1848, The treasury receipts during the past year were 4,438,131 dollars ; the payments were 4 558,193 dollars. Tne message recommended a system o f hankirg founded on State stocks. It also discussed the Fugitive Slave Law, and came to the conclusion that it was the duty of every citizen to obey its pro visions. He objected, however, to some of its pro visions, and maintained that they ought to be amended. _ From Canada and Mexico we have no later advice!. From Turk's Island we learn that her Majesty's screw steamer Plumper sailed from Grand Turk on the 29th of November, for St. Domingo, for the urotEction of British subjects and property in that island. NEW YORK, JAN. 9. Iu the money market a downward tendency in fancy stocks has continued throughout the day. Sales generally have not been heavy.

EXTENSION OF SMITHFIELD MARKET.—The com mittee or trustees of Smithfield-market have erected a wooden building on the vacant space between Paternoster row and Newgate-street (used for the life escapes against fire), for the purpose of exhibiting a model, on a large scale, of the new improvements and extension they intend making in Smithfield, so as to satisfy the public feeling which so strongly exists against the present market, by making a great addition to the accommodation, so long wanting, for the cattle brought weekly to that great metro politan market for food. The model is expected to be ePee to the inspection of the public this week.
