The morning was lovely, the course was well crowded, Though Phcebns was sometimes a little bit clouded, When thirty-three starters set off for the race, And we breathless looked out to see which had aplaCe. But coon there was showing, the race it was done, The field was well beaten, the favourite won ; They may call it good jockeyship, mettle, or luck, But the Teddington horse beat the Marlborough Buck. The Derby is always the day to be dressed )n the height of the fashion—in clothes of the best; And for years have the principal leaders of ton Sported clothing they had of E. MOSES and SON ; Which accounts for the elegant fashions they sport, Of the very best make awl the very best sort. In the great race of fashion E. MOSES and SON Have always been favourites—always have won. They have passed all that started before on the road, And have left them behind, vainly trying their mode. They've distanced all others that after them hied. And their good constitution for years have been tried. You may try all the tailors in town if you will, E. MOSES and SON will be favourites still.

T HE WORLD'S BAZAA R. I saw the Crystal Temple rise In beauty and in state ; And while I gazed with wond'ring eyes, I felt that such an enterprise Was beautiful and great. I marvellecLat the master mind (A master mind, indeed !) Which thus.had perfectly designed A meeting-house for all mankind, With all but magic speed. No gaudy pageant can surpass, In vastness or display, This palace of transparent glass, Where thousands hi one moving mass, Will throng from day to day. I passed its portals, and I saw A world's superb bazaar ; And while I gazed in silent awe, I wondered,not that It should draw Its millions near an , l far. passed through aisle and nave, On close inquiry bent, And arch and roof, in furrowed wave, And all I viewed around me gave Fresh cause for wonderment. A countless, ceaseless moving stream Pressed on with eager view; And what I witnessed did not seem A scene of earth—'twas like a dream, Which never could be true. All that There beheld was wrought Upon a skilful plan; And every object that I sought Cave else to one prevailing thought— " How wonderful is man !" Each turn, new objects followed new, Amid the temple's scope; - t. , And while I wondering stood to view I thought it could he likened to Some vast kaleidoscope. On massive pede,tal and base Enormous statues wood ; The tasty model decked its case, And all within the spacious place * Was beautiful and good. Gardens displayed their "floral flush," And spread their odours round, And fountains cool were seen to gush, -tier did the giant organs hush Their deep mysterious sound. While thus, in science and in art, Fair products were displayed, The Palace showed in every part The trophies of the world's wide mart In'cornmerce and in trade. Arranged in this capacious room, With pleasure I beheld The newest fabrics of the loom, And textile products for costume That never were exctiled. I never witnessed such a shoW, Except at lIYAM'e, Mart; That celebrated Clothes Depot, Where dress is sold for prices low Strong, suitable, and smart. All that the " World's Bazaar" displayed To my admiring eye, I find at HY AM'S House of Trade, And hence the purchases I've made From his superb supply. Well might the dress of HYAM 1111 A place in this display ; For 'what I've said I utter still— That ItYAM, in his trading skill, Stands highest of the day. /ITAM and Co., Tailors, Clothiers, and Manufacturers.

The following testimonial is another proof of the great all cacy:- of this medicine :- 4,157, Wow Bond-Street, Londoti, October 12, 1850. Sir,—ln acquainting you. with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RIILUDIATIC PILLS, feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. "About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under.,Sirel'ohn Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro • cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings cialfbe appreciated only by tly..se who knew some thing-of this disease. " It was during one of those paroxysm., between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I lost no time ei procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. " From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ewes approaching, I:have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valuable, that were it sot that the days of macic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I ob tain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in an y de g ree suf fered, but o n th e con t rar y I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its i m p rovemen t. • " I have recommended the Pill s t o many friends, and the result has always been - of the most gratifying character.

The Lord Bishop of Exeter having announced to his clergy his intention of holding " a synod of the diocese" on the 25th of June next, to be composed of certain official persons mentioned in his Lordship's pastoral letter, dated << London, April 9, 1851," and of represen tatives to be elected by the clergy of the different deaneries,— " We, the undersigned presbyters of the diocese, deem it to be cur duty to put forth and publish our reasons for declining to attend any ruridecanal meetings for electing such representatives, or otherwise to take any part whatever relating to such assembly of the clergy, called a synod,' or the proceedings and acts thereof. " We have come to this determination, " 1. Because, if such assembly, summoned and holden according to the directions, and for the purposes men tioned in the Bishop's pastoral letter, do not contravene ihe strict letter of the laws and constitutions at present in force for regulating the action of the Church of Eng land, it is, in our judgment and belief, opposed to the spirit and intention of such laws and constitutions, and altogether unprecedented in the history of the Church. "2. Because the primary and avowed object for which such assembly is to be convened is to issue a synodical declaration of adherence to the article of the creed—' I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins,' which it is alleged has been virtually denied by a judgment delivered by her Majesty the Queen, as under God, the only supreme governor of this realm, as well in all spiritual or ecclesiastical things or causes as temporal, on the recommendation of the Judicial Committee of Privy Council, with the concurrence of the two archbi shops; such a declaration being, as we believe, alto gether uncalled for, inasmuch as the decision of her Majesty was not intended to impugn, neither does it, in our judgment, in any degree whatever impugn, such article of the creed—an article which we con stantly and solemnly repeat before God and in the face of the congregation, with the full assent and con sent' of our minds. "3. Because, although it is declared by the Bishop that in the proceedings of such assembly it is his de sire that there shall be as great consideration as pos sible for the judgment of all,' and that the represen tatives shall speak and vote therein according to their own judgment,' yet it is expressly provided in the pas• toral letter calling the assembly that the bishop shall himself decide what matters shall actually be brought under the consideration of the synod,' and that no re solution can be deemed an act of the synod which has not his concurrence.' " 4. Because, whatever bo the object of holding such assembly, it is manifestly powerless in law, not having authority to pass any canons or constitutions which can settle any matter whatever, or be binding even upon those who pass them, whilst it is calculated to produce great evil and mischief, even to the disruption of the Church, being designedly intended to exhibit this diocese es indepeudent in itself, standing out in unbecoming and injurious, if not schismatical,t opposition to the Archbishop of the province, and the constituted authori ties, by which the whole body of the Church of England is governed. " For these reasons we feel compelled to abstain from taking any part whatever in the proposed assembly; and in putting them forth we desire to testify our unfeigned respect and honour for the character of the present Arch bishop of the province, as well as for the office which he holds, and at the same time to express our deliberate opinion that his Grace has not forfeited his right to Catholic communion.'

The transactions were as follow:—East Lancashire, Quarters, 15 9-16—Lan • cashiro and Yorkshire, 57—Manchester, Sheffield, and Lin colnshire, 23% —South-Eastern and Dover, 2.4%—York and North Midland, 2:3 3 4. BIRMINGHAM, MAY 26. _ _ STOCK EXCITICNC Z. —The arrangements made by the va rious railway companies for the conveyance of visitors to the Great Industrial Exhibition (now the prices of admision are reduced) lead to the belief that during the next few weeks the traffic returns will be very considerably augmented. It appears, however, to be almost forgotten that the anticipated increase, seeing that the half-year is so far advanced, can have bat little influence upon the next railway dividends; while the probability is, that after the summer months have passed • over, and the Exhibition excitement subsided, the travelling between the provinces and London will be se riously diminished. Be this as it may, confidence in railway property has slightly rallied within these two or three days, and prices have an upward tendency. To-day London and North-Western were transacted at 124, and this may be taken as an indication of quotations generally. THE HON. MRS. NORTON'S NEW NOVEL, "STUART OF' DUNLEATIi."—The 2lbrning Chronicle in an elaborate review of this remarkable production says, " We are fairly astonished at this book. We had of course ex pected a clever work from a very clever woman, but Stuart of Dunleath' is a great work of genius, in which the delicacy, symmetrical truth, and exquisite conduct of the execution are even more admirable than the innate and sustained energy of a noble ideal. There is a creation before us origi nal, simple, and complete as an antique statue, or a play of Sophocles. It would take the excellences of many authors to give a fair idea of this book. The pathos of Dickens, the wit of Sheridan and of Disraeli, the eloquence of Hahn-Hahn, and the story of Scott. Our mature judgment is that there will be many a long day before the English public can hope again to sea so consummate a work of genius as Mrs. Nor ton's s Stuart of Dunleath.' AMUSEMENTS FOR ALL CLASSES.—We are re quested to state that Lord 'William Lennox'a novel, "Percy Hamilton; or the Adventures of a Westminster will Boy," be published to-morrow by Mr. Shoberl, 20, Great Marlbo rough-street, and may be had of all booksellers, and at all the libraries. Also, now ready, Lady Bulwer Lytton's new novel, " Miriam Sedley, a Tale of Real Life," " which," ob serves the United Service Gazette, " will be hailed with de light." 3. "The Wife's Sister; or the Forbidden Marriage," by Mrs. Hubback (niece of the celebrated novelist, Miss Austen). "This work," says the Athenteam, "may take its place by the side of Mrs. Sullivan's Ellen Wareham.' " 4. The Countess of Blessington's novel of "Country Quar ters," with portrait and memoir, by her niece, Miss Power. THE " OBSERVER," AND ITS GRATUITOUS -STAMPED TWENTY-COLUMN HALE-SHEET SUPPLEMENT. —In the four successive Sunday ay s in M th e re has been an ext ra Sup plement (gratis) published with the Observer (at a cost ex ceeding five hundred pounds), which has enabled the editors to give the opening, and a very full description of the valu able contents of the Great Exhibition, extending over about sixty of the Observer columns, namely, twenty-one on May 4, thirteen on May 11, fifteen on May 18, and fourteen on May 25 ; and, owing to the extra Supplements, without depriving the readers of the usual quantity of miscellaneous news. it may be here remarked that there have been three gentlemen of the Observer establishment daily occupied at the Exhibition all the past month, and whose descriptive compilations have been chiefly original. The extensive publication of the Observer commences'at five o'clock Sunday mornings, in time for all the early Sunday morning railway. Monday's Edition, best for the country and abroad, at four o'clock Monday alterations. Price of the Observer, Sixpence. Offices, 1i U, Strand. We e regret to state that the venerable lar was seized, yesterday murniog, by a severe afi'ddaatitous 11 at tack of illness. Iris L ordshi p , we unders tand , visited' Lou don recently, for the p ur p ose of ins p e cting the Crystal Pa lace, and returned to Knowsley only towards the middle of the past week. Probably the unusual exertion made on the occasion proved too much for his Lordship'sl strength, for at ten o'clock yesterday , w e are inftirmed, i e suffered a severe apo plectic attack, and was for a time in imminent danger. Surgical aid was instantly called in fromthe vicinity and Mr. Biekereteth , of Liverpool, was Sent for; and she means used to restore his Lordship were, we believe, so far suc cessful that he had last evening recovered consciousness. Lord Stanley, we understand, was immediately advised, by telegraph, of his venerable parent' s condition, and is ex pected to arrive at Knowsley, rem, town. at an early hour Albior. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. Yesterday, to the astonishment of almost everybody, notwithstanding the fall of price to is., the interior of the Crystal Palace was not so much crowded as usual. A great crush was anticipated, and the consequence pot was that a comparatively email number came. Up five o'clock only 21,258 persons entered the building, and the receipts at the doors fell to 9201. This, with the sale of season tickets, made a total of 9601.—anim mense decline from the amount collected on Saturday. The visitors appeared chiefly to belong to the middle class of society, and few fustian jackets were observed among them. They did not confine themselves to the nave, but were well spread over the interior, and all seemed intent on making good use of their time, and studying carefully the departments which most interested them. By a judicious arrangement the seats which had previously been distributed in the nave and transept were removed to the more retired and less attractive parts. It is not now probable that there will be any very great rush of people to Hyde park till the Ist of June, when the summer excursion trains begin , to run. The on l y other novelty connected with yesterday's experience at t h e Exhibition worth mentioning is the capture of three pickpockets, two women and one man, who made a sa d m i stake in 'going there to exercise their vocation. The women were de tected by two Belgian policemen, and from their dialect were evidently provincial thieves. One stated that she wasfrom Edinburgh, and spoke undoubted broad Scotch The other said she came from Cork, but her ac cent i s . not Hibernian. The male thief is a Frenchman, and has been "in trouble" before. Ho was admirably got up for the occasion, with a new hat and coat, an unexceptionable white waistcoat, and patent leather boots, very smartly made. The uninitiated would have set him down as a fashionable foreigner come to look at the mob in a philo sophic spirit of observation, but a detective with an un fortunately tenacious memory for faces recognized him as ho passed through the entrance, and he was followed, observed actively engaged in the mysteries of his profes sion, and at once removed from the scene of temptation into which he had intruded. " What time did the ma gistrate give you before?" said Superintendent Pearce to him at the station. " Six weeks," was the reply of the swell mob'sraan, who appeared to consider himself the most injured and unlucky of mortals. The unfavour able state of the weather yesterday had, no doubt, some influence upon the influx of visitors, who for the most part must have gone to Hyde-park either by omnibus or on foot. There were very few season ticket-holders there during the day, and the thoroughfare from Piccadilly to Knightsbridge presented a remarkable contrast to the bustle and excitement of the last three weeks.

Extensive Travelling Leave granted without extra Premium Moderate extra Premium for Residence in Tropical Climate& EQUITARLR FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0001. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office am —Moderato and equitable Rates 01 Premium for each class of-risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion rreminm to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each, It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers; that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap ,3roached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted n, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against less for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this guestion, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk: The Equitable Fire °Mee will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time.to Ur; e, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual Investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at as. per cent, without the Average Clause.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, Et, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTEI ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication:— During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England, and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2501.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the let of June, 1449, and the 31st of May, 1550, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 123, comyrising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. Gs. sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0451., upon which 3201. as. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the let of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,732/. I Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9901. 163. Gd., of which the annual premiums were 741/. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of. June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. 11d. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,183/. I ls. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Evcque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An unities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects.

Now, 0 1 guns from each ship (and there were about eight ships fired the salute), and the platform battery each time, or nearly se, makes an expen diture of gunpowder which would serve to maintain a well-contested action. We do not hear of her Majesty being fired over when she arrives at Buckingham Palace from Windsor, and why it should be indispensable 04 arriving at Gosport from London we are at a loss to conceive. The powder, at all events, might be restricted to a complimentary explosion from the Admiral's ship. Other attendant ceremonies might also be • dispensed with, or reduced to a similar amount of simplicity, as, for in9tance, the nonsensical presentation of a massive pair of keys, supposed to represent the meal's of ingreva into the Lieutenant-Governor's dominions, but which, we believe, fit no lock of either of the gates of the garrison of Portsmouth.

Orders have been sent from the Admiralty to have her Majesty's packet Vivid, Captain Smithett, ready at Dover on Tuesday evening, the 27th inst., to convey their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess Royal of Prussia, with their numerous suite, from that port to Ostend. Their Royal Highnesses left Osborne -house this morning for London, and are expected to be present at a review on Woolwich-common to-morrow, previous to their leaving this country. The Birkenhead steam-frigate, Master-Commander Robert Salmond, according to the Halifax Morning Chronicle, arrived at that port in Nova Scotia after a fine run of fourteen days from Plymouth. She had on board four companies of Royal Artillery for service in British North America, viz., two for Canada, one for New Brunswick, and one for Nova Scotia. The company to be stationed in the garrison at Halifax disembarked in the dockyard, and headed by the splendid band of the Connaught Rangers, marched into the Artillery-park. This is the second time that troops have been conveyed from England to North America in a steam-ship, and contrasts most favourably with the first experiment, on which oscasion, about seven years ago, her Majesty's steam-sloop Dee embarked a company of Royal Sap pers and Miners, and another of Artillery, for Halifax, After the Dee had groped her way across the Atlantic, touching in at every port she could make, sho landed her freight at this port. On comparing notes it was found that the troops had been cribbed up in the steamer for a period of six weeks. The performance of the Birkenhead has, on the other hand, been so highly satisfactory that we would fain hope the British Government will for all, time to come adopt this the cheapest and most comfort able method for conveying troops to their stations in America. The Feizi Baari Turkish war-steamer was brought under the shears last week, and had her intermediate shaft and crank put on board, by Messrs. Maudslsy, Son, and Field, the constructors of her engines. She commenced taking en board coals on Saturday, and will leave Woolwich on Thursday next for Constantinople. The officers have been most civil to visitors, and no re striction has been made to the number applying for per mission to go on board on week-days or on Sunday. On Sunday last as many as fifty persons were on board at one time, and each party had one of the crew to go round with, and even the officers' cabins were free to the visitors, who did not scruple to avail themselves of the opportunity of seeing the officers sitting cross-legged on carpets smoking their long pipes in the oriental fashion. The men were also in groups, smoking while they sat cress-;egged betwixt decks. The Feizi Mari has one GB-pounder iron gun fore and another aft, and ten 32- pounder brass guns for her broadsides. The Governolo Sardinian war-steamer is ea:coated to arrive at Wool wich in the course of the present week. SPORTING NOTES. No. LVIII. sroizr AT HARPENDEN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
