(llt-tore the LORD CHANCELLOR.) IN RE BELOVED WILKS. IE3 .LORDSHIP deilsTred jtld,;;Rlk•cit in this appeal, the arguments in which occul,:ed the Court two days last week, us reported in our columns. The petition was pr,-;,entuti by certain inhabitants of three parishes in the county of Gloucester, against an election made by the trustees of a charity founded by Mr. Willis, formerly a beneficed clerg} man in that county, for the education of a youth belonging to either of the three parishes. The election last made by the trustees fell on a youth named Joyce, against which it was ob jected to by the petitioners that he was not duly quali fied, and that the trustees ought to have elected another candidate, named Gate. The LORD CHANCELLOR that having attentively gone through the affida•rits, he could find nothing which would justify him in coming to the conclusion that the trustees could have made any other election then that which they had made. He therefore thought the petition should be dismissed, and that the trustees should have their costs allowed from the estate. Order accordingly. EMMET V. DEWHURST. His LORDSHIP then proceeded with the arguments in this case, which was a part-heard appeal from an order of the Vice-Chancellor, directing inquiries to ascertain the extent of the liabilitieS of William Dewhurst on an agreement by which he guaranteed the payecent of a composition of 83. in the pound on the debt due by Isaac Dewhurst to the Halifax Joint-Stock Bank. ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.) MORGAN V. MORGAN. The arguments in this case, which was an application for a rehearing, were resumed this morning. There had been a decree obtained in the cause in the year 1846, on the construction of a settlement of property upon the widow of the testator, who was made the tenant thereof for life, and the question now submitted to the Court was, did such a disposition of the property entitle her to the enjoyment of it in specie. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Vice Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) His Honour was occupied the whole morning with short causes, none of which were of general interest. (Before Lord CRANWORTIL) His Lordship disposed this morning of a number of unopposed petitions, and was afterwards engaged in bearing motions. (Before Vice-Chancellor TURNER.) No business of importance was brought before his Honour to-day. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings iu Banco.) CRIMINAL INFORMATION—QUEEN V. KAYE AND ANOTHER. In this case a rule nisi had been obtained calling upon the defendants to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against them for having published a libel in the Wesleyan Times, reflecting upon the moral character of the Rev. W. H. Clarkson. a circuit preacher, belonging to the Wesleyan body. Mr. Chambers, now appeared to show cause against the rule, and it appeared from his statement that, some time ago, Mr. Clarkson was stationed at Derby, where he fixed his domestic es tablishment, and had a young Newnan named Charlotte Herrons in his service as housemaid. Now this young woman, just before the meeting of Conference, last year, gave birth to a child, of which she alleged Mr. Clark son was the father. This circumstance came to the knowledge of the Conference, and they oirected an in quiry to be instituted into the matter, and ultimately they decided that no imputation rested upon either the conduct or the character of the Reverend Gentleman. It transpired, however, that Mr. Clarkson himself took a leading part in conducting the inquiry, and there was inti midatedchpajustbyetleiiecnrfltyouhilinetitirntsmovecaehgostiiietivuildigymn, .catohtntotedtTriialythndsiseisiessltte:yrdaynatTczntuens itti o mo f up t go h hr e tte p dt pater nity tehbr reason to suppose that the young woman had been e e a g il b ti ets a u d,d t mat being public carried discussion before f theth e magistrates sitting at Leamington, where the young woman underwent a lengthened examination, and related the history of her criminal connexion with her Reverend master. She declared that the Rev. Gentleman was for months contemplating her ruin before he accomplished his purpose. She lived with him for nearly three years, the family consisting of the Rev. Gentleman himself, his wife, and his wife's mother; and it was while the latter were absent from home that the Rev. Gentleman succeeded in effecting her seduction. Before the magis trates, however, no confirmatory proof of the connexion was adduced, as the Bastardy Act requires, and the case was therefore dismissed. Now the articles complained of were commentaries upon this case; and it was con tended by Mr. Chambers, that, inasmuch as they related to a topic which eame fairly and legitimately within the province of a public, ournalist, they could not bo held to be libellous. The principal defendant and chief proprie tor of the newspaper was a manufacturer at Isludiers field, and he took no part in its management, but neverthe less, having fully investigated this case he had no reason to feel that his paper had in any way been misconducted. The editor had done no more than discuss the conduct of a public character, arising out of a public question; and since he had strictly confined his comments within the legitimate limits of newspaper controversy, this gen tleman, who was most interested in the proper manage ment of the Wesleyan Times, thought it would be unjust to call upon him to answer a criminal information, though he was quite ready and willing to meet the inquiry in any other shape. %Ir. HANCE, who was on the same side, said he bad only one word to add to the argument of his Learned Friend, and that was simply this:—Mr. Clarkson, he apprehended, had brought this matter into court for the sake of publicly contradicting the charge which had been made against him. Now, having had that oppor tunity, and the defendants themselves being willing to admit that of their own knowledge they knew nothing against the private or moral character of the Reverend Gentleman,it was hoped the Court would decline to make the rule absolute. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said the Court would not put Sir Frederick fhesiger, who appeared for the plain tiff, to the trouble of replying, as they felt that the rule ought to he made absolute. The jury would then say whether or no the liberty of the press had been mali ciously abused by these publications. That was the ques ion propounded by the Learned Counsel who appeared or the defendants, and as a jury was the only tribunal :hat could answer it, he would say no more, so that the case might go down for trial without prejudice. Rule aesolute accordingly. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) The business transacted in this court during the morn. Lng was not of an importa❑t nAture. EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.) (Sitting in Banco.) ATTORNEY•GENERAL V. LONDON DOCK COMPANY. After disposing of some unimportant motions, the Court proceeded with file part-heard case of the At torney-General v. the LJndon Dock Company. SIT FITZROY KELLY resumed his arguments on behalf of the defendants, observing that as tae directors and other functionaries connected with the company had been, by the whole evidence, as well as the express ad mission of the Attorney-General, relieved of all per sonal imputation, or of any accusation of a wilful inten tion to violate the law, his only object in appearing be fore their Lordships was to suggest that a plain and in telligible construction should be put on certain Acts of Parliament for the guidance and protection of the com pany in the future administration of their extensive es tablishment. The Learned Counsel then entered at con siderable length into the particulars of the case, and to the different Acts of Parliament, the provisions o' which he contended were of a very general and u.ncer tain character. The address of the Learned Counsel was likely to oc cupy the greater portion of the day. 3/.

Mr • T• W. Hall, cashier to Messrs.

On Saturday afternoon the defendants were in the park, near the Crystal Palace, selling beer, which they had with them in large cans .

Within bow-shot of the western extremity of the Crystal Palace, there stands on the Kensington-road a mansion not unknown to fame in the worlds of lite rature and fashion as having been for several years the residence of the late beautiful and accomplished Countess of Bleseiogton. It has now passed into the hands of another and still more celebrated owner. There, has ALEXIS COQUORUM REX set up his vene rated standard. There he wields the culinary sceptre with "no brother near the throne." Celsa sedet Eolus arce ; but far more grateful and substantial blessings does the potentate of Gore House, Soyer the Superb, dispense, than were wont to issue from the stormy caverns of the Liparaean God. Availing our selves of the Soyerian courtesy, we had the pleasure of assi,,ting on last Saturday at an inspection of his new establishment, and frankly confess that however sanguine the expectations which had been created by a knowledge of the singular taste and talent of the eminent artist, they fell far short of the reality. If the [nighty structure of Paxten be confessedly the monster marvel of the metropolis, assuredly the Symposium of Soyer is the next most mark-worthy of " t'ae lions of London." Let no Exhibition visi tor of the :lightest pretence to taste omit paying his homage at this delightful shrine, and if, after the en joyment of all that is calculated to please the eye in the mansion and its spacious grounds, he can bid farewell to such Elysian scenes without indulging in some of the luxurious viands and beverages which are disposed in tempting profusion on the numerous tables, all that can be said is that he must be a wight of either singular stupidity, or matchless, but unen viable, self-control. Of a visit to Gore House it may be truly and appropriately said, in the words of the _ accomplished Roman,— " 2Eque pauperibui prodcst, locupletibus wque, .toque negtectum pueris cenibusque nocebit." "The enchanter's wand," exclaims the glowing author of " The Book of the Symposium,"—" The enchanter's wand of Alexis Sayer, like that of Mer lin, will triumph over geographical limits, and laugh the restrictions of space to scorn. From all quarters of the globe, civilized or uncivilized, will his visitors come—the doors of the Symposium will be thrown open to universal humanity. The lightning-winged locomotive, the heavy vetturino, the clumsier dili gence, the steamboat, the caique, the junk, and felucca, will bring their myriad visitors to the gates of Gore house. Cosmopolitan customs should demand Cosmo politan cookery; and it is by no means an exaggerated expectation, we think, to imagine within the walls of the Symposium grave and lively Frenchmen, expatiating over their potages and fricandeaux; phlegmatic Turks, discussing pillaf and hachis; mercurial Persians, enjoy ing their sherbet; sententious Spaniards, luxuriating over olla podrida; wide. awake Americans, consuming Johnny cakes and canvas-backed ducks; pigtailed Chinese, devouring their favourite stewed dog; meta physical Germans, washing down prodigious quantities of sauerkraut with oceans of rheinwein; swarthy Rus sians up to their eyes in caviar; Cossacks calling for more train oil; Tartars, swallowing quarts of mare's milk; and New Zealanders—no, not New Zealanders, for who could form any idea of the horror and dismay which would be caused by some ebony-skinned and boomeranged chieftain demanding baked young woman" for two, and a cold boiled missionary' to follow ?" Advance, courteous reader, through the vestibule, seamed with golden lightnings, and passing through the Atrium, the walls of which are covered with a novel architectural ensemble, turn to the right, and enter "La Salle du Parnasse," formerly the Blessington library, now a dining-room, re splendent with mirrors, marbles, white, green, and gold. Admire, too, the adjoining and mag nificent apartment, "La Salle des Noces de Danae," with its ceiling of perforated arabesque, a pale green, parseme with many hued flowers, and profusely enriched with gold, while through its per forations are visible the clear blue tints of a summer sky. Half pendent from this plafond are eight globes of silvered glass, and on the walls are seen descend ing showers of tears of embossed gold and silver and rich gem-like hues. These are the principal rooms upon the ground-floor, and they present a superb dis play of decorative ingenuity. The walls of the stair case, by which you ascend to the upper rooms, are painted with a most entertaining medley of grotesque and monstrous-headed figures, painted, or rather sketched in fresco, comprising many biped celebrities, and quadrupeds hitherto undiscovered by zoologists. This very clever and bizarre production is due to the brain and pencil of Mr. George Sala. Pass through the tri-coloured " Avenue des Amours " into "La Chambre Ardente d'Apollon," a circular apartment glowing with crimson, gold, and amber, thence into the " Grotte des Neiges Eternelles," glistening with brilliant masses of stalactite-like ice, the effect being enhanced and the expanse enlarged by mirrors, with their edges artistically concealed by pendent icicles. Striking is the contrast presented by the "Vintage Palazzo," a saloon which suddenly transports you to the sunny skies and deep blue waters of the shores of Italy, seen through the vine-clad arches of a trellised gallery. The "Door of the Dungeon of Mystery" now opens, and admits you to " Le Boudoir de la Val- Here," a delightful chanibre a toucher, with the in terior " Eil de &eat . ," a perfect alcove of festooned flowers, surmounted with a sky of delicately-veiled rosy clouds. Last remains to view "Le Pagode du Uheval de Bronze," or "The Celestialinall of the Golden Lilies," which would gladden the soul of a Mandarin of the first class in the flowery land. Too much praise cannot be awarded fur the rich and varied taste displayed throughout the interior by Mr. Adams and his assistants. In the gardens, which extend over some eight acres, you will find various objects of interest, flower-beds, statues, fountains, the " Impe netrable Grotto of Oradine," &c. ; but the most con spicuous and important is the vast " Baronial Ban quetting Hall," not yet completed, but which we predict will be inferior in popularity to no other feature, when hung with paintings and resounding with the strains of unseen musicians, or rather dimly seen in an elevated orchestra, viewed through the nebulous medium of mysterious clouds ; and" Le Pavillon Monstre d'Amphytrion," four hundred feet in length, and capable of affording prandial accommo dation to fifteen hundred persons at half-a•crown a head. The table from end to end is covered with a single monster tablecloth, which we vouch to have beheld unrolled to its full extent thereon, and whith is certainly the greatest triumph of textile skill ever submitted to the public. And now re-entering the house, after a " whet" at the American bar, a cobbler, shandy-gaff, or the like, sit you down, in one of the luxurious salles a manger, and contemplate the admirable arrangem mt of those chefs d'ouvre of gastronomy. Taste but a morsel of this pie, and, as ' it melts upon your palate, if you do not bless the Great Artist with internal fervency, you are a grace less dog, a flinty •hearted monster. Lucullus, were he in the flesh, would weep tears of ecstacy at such inef fable deliciousness. Fortunate it is for Soyor that he is no " light-weight," or of a certainty Olympian Jove would again dispatch his feathered minister to bear him to the skies, like Ganymede of yore, and Ambro sia would be at a discount among the immortal ban quetters, when once they had made trial of his une qualled skill. The wines, too, are of a recherche cha racter, from humble port--no " black-strap" by the way, but the genuine blood of Lusitania—to impe rial Tokay. As these blissful reminiscences arise, our pen becomes inadequate to convey a due impression of what must be personally enjoyed to be adequately ap preciated, and adds but this—that, were we the foun tain of dignity and honour, we would forthwith insti tute a new Chivalric Order, and nominate Alexis Sayer Grand Master of the Chapter of Knights of ,he Golden Gridiron. THE OPENING OF (HE CRYSTAL PALACE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—When " God save the Queen" is played on the great organ at the opening of the Crystal Palace by her Majesty on the Ist of May, do you not think that the effect would be materially increased by the addition of the 600 voices forming the chorus of the London Sacred Harmonic Society, and who, I have not the least doubt, would willingly and cheerfully give their gratuitous as sistance on such an occasion, and for such a loyal par- - pose, provided there be sufficient room for them in the immediate vicinity of the organ.

SOUTHAMPTON, APRIL 27.—The Ottoman steamer of-war Feiza Baari (Skimmer of the Sea), flag of his Highness Vice-Admiral Moustafa Peelle, Captain Sal Bey, arrived at Spithead on Friday night, and early on Saturday morning, after saluting the Turkish squadron lying at Spithead, came up t 3 Southampton. She is the bearer of a cargo of Turkish contributions to the Great Exhibition in Hyde-park. On anchoring she imme diately exchanged salutes with the town battery, after which the United States frigate St. Lawrence fired a sa lute, which was returned from the Feiza Baari. The arrival of this steamer has excited considerable interest, as the Feiza Baari is the first Terkistesteam vessel that has ever visited England. She sailed from Constantinople on the 6.h inst. called at Gallipoli for bread, and at Malta and Gibraltar for coals. Just prior to reachin g Malta a defect veal discovered in one cf the cranks, and a stay of three days had to be made while the dockyard engineers were fitting a strengthening strap. The vessel also remained two days at Gibraltar, so that the actual time under steam from Constantinople is only a little above fourteen days. The Feiza Baari was built at the Turkish dockyard in Constantinople. She is about 1,600 tons burden, full ship-rigged, and is a favourable and creditable specimen of the proficiency in naval architecture to which the Tusks have attained. Her fittings' generally and cabin arrangements are very beautiful and commodious. Tee engines of 450-horse power, on the double-cylinder and direct acting principle, are from the factory of Messrs). Maudslay, Sons, and Field, and propel the vessel at a rate of from eight to ten knots an hour, according to wind and weather. The armament is a very heavy One, as the vessel is pierced for and mounts 44 guns, viz.,- 2 long 10-inch iron Paixhen guns upon traversing car riages upon the upper deck, and 42 long brass 32- pounders on the man deck. On the present occasion, in consequence of carrying cargo, she has on board only eight of the 32-pounders and the two Paixhan guns. The complement of men is about 320. The uffieGre, sailors, and firemen are all Turks, but there are three English engineers. The Feiza Baari has brought a large number of dis tinguished functionaries and officers of high rank in the Turkish service as passengers. The following are some of them,—viz., his Highness Gemaledin Pacha, brother-in-law of the Sultan; his Excellency Constantine Mussurns, the new Ambassador from the Sublime Porte to the Court of St. James's, who is accompanied by his two sons and suite, and by M. Alecto Vogorides, Coun cillor of the Legation; sad ZatEfendi, Secretary to the Embassy; also Sallie Effendi, Reouf Boy (son of Rifaat Pachs), and Hisan Bey, members of the office of the Amedji; Ismael Bey. Equerry of the Imperial House • hold; Emir Bey and Nissip Bay, members of the Divan's Correspondence-office; Hasseim Veh bi Effendi, advo cate of the Tidjaret; Hessen Bey, member of the Coun cil of Nate; Rifaat Effendi, Secretary of Accounts; Lufli Effendi, member of the Correspondence-office of the Minister of Commerce; Djevedet Effendi, Secretary to the Minister of Commerce; together with several other Turkish subjects who had received the permission of the Porte to accompany the delegates and to make the tour of Europe. This morning Mr. H. D. Jourdain, the Ottoman Con sul at Southampton, went on board the Feiza Maui, and was received with a salute of seven guns—a similar salute in his honour also being given by the'American frigate. Arrangements wore then made for the disem barkation of the Turkish Ambassador, who, shortly after one o'clock, accompanied by his suite, left the ship under salutes of seventeen guns from the Feiza Baari and the St. Lawrence. On landing on the docks, no salutes were fired by the town on account of the Sabbath. His Excellency left at three o'clock fur Lon don by a special train. There are on board this steamer 207 packages for the Great Exhibition. They are $o be instantly sent on shore, and will be forwarded to,the palace of glass by Mr. • Jourdain, the consul, who is charged with that task by M. Zohrab, the Turkish consul-general, London, who is also the special commissioner of the Sultan to the Royal Commissioners. The greater portion of these goods will in all probability be sent off to London on Monday evening and the remainder on Tuesday, so that although from their late arrival they will not be fully displayed in that portion of the building allotted to Tur key by the day appointed for the opening, yet there is no doubt that the most striking objects of interest will be unpacked and temporarily arranged in time for her Majesty's state visit on Thursday next. The goods con sist in great part of silk stuffs from the Government factory, Turkish cloths, sword blades, fire-arms, em broidered stuffs, carpeting from Melemen and Koniah, the whole being of great beauty and value. The num ber of specimens is said to be 4,870, and their value nearly 100,0001. About 5,000 square feet of surface will be required for their display. The Sultan has taken a great interest in the whole details connected with the origin and progress of the Great Industrial Exhibition in London, and has been most anxious that the country of which he is the su preme ruler should be adequately represented. This disposition is plainly proved by the determination to dispatch to England on a special mission so large and fine a vessel as the Feiza Baari. Previous to their ship ment an exhibition of these articles was held at the Hotel of the Board of Commerce, in Constantinople. The Sultan visited and minutely examined the majority of the specimens. His Highness also paid a visit to the steamer before her departure, and remained upwards of four hours on board. His Excellency Sir Stratford Canning, the British Ambaseador, also -gave a grand banquet to most of the distinguished personages whose names are mentioned above, prior to their embarkation for England. After discharging his cargo, it is likely the Feiza Baari will be sent roan i to Woolwich to have the neces sary repairs effected to her machinery, and will then, we understand, return again to Southampton and make some stay here. Excepting the characteristic red Fez cap universally worn on board, the dress, uniform, and appointments of the officers and seamen .do not present any features of the ordinary Turkish costume, which appears to be slowly disappearing in the military and naval services of the Sultan. There are but few turbans to be seen on board, and those vve;,understand are worn by the priest and some few other rigid Mahometans. Several of the officers speak the English and French languages fluently. Every respect and attention will be paid to the cesa mender and officers of the Feiza Baari by the munici pality. His ; Highness Vice -Admiral Moustafa Yacha, his Highness Gemaledirn Pasha, and the officers of the ship, have accepted an invitation to visit the Mayor of Southampton (Mr. Richard Andrews) .at his country seat, near Winchester, on Tuesday next, an nesday the mayor and corporation will p a y, an o fficial visit to the frigate , on which occasion an addressw d il o l n be W re e a d d, and the whole of the officers invited to a grand banquet, to be given at the Town-ball in their honour by the cor porate body of Southampton. Personal civilities have been interchanged between the commander and officers of the Turkish and Ameri can ships of war, and Captain Sands, of the St. Laa rence, instantly offered to the Ottoman„Vice-Admiral every facility and attention that could in any way facili tate and promote the object of the visit of this fine ship of war to England. FATAL ACCIDENT TO; THE HON. GRANVILLE EGERTON. —We regret to state that accounts of the untimely death of this young officer have been received in town. Mr. Egerton was a midshipman on board her Majesty's ship Meander, 44, Captain the lion. Henry K P --eP el. The frigate was at California, receiving treasure for conveyance to England. Mr. Egerton and a party of officers went on a shooting excursion, when Mr. Egerton's gun burst and killed him on the spot. Intelligence of the afflicting occurrence has been forwarded to the Earl and Countess of Ellesmere, who at the last accounts had sailed from Malta for Sicily, in his Lordship's yacht. Mr. Egerton was in-his 17th year, A WINDFALL FOR FEARGUS O'Cobsou.—L est night (Friday) an inquest was held in INlixenden, on the body of Mr. W. Haigh, who formerly resided at Halifax, but of late has lived at Mixenden, and was fo un d'd ea d i n hi s bed oa Wednesday morning. The case was one of an ordi nary nature, and only derives interest from the fact that the deceased some time ago made a will constituting Feargus O'Connor, Esq., his sole heir. The value of the, property is said to exceed 2,000/. Halifax Guardian. MEETING OF EXHIBITORS.—A. great deal of dis satisfaction has been expressed by a large body of exhibitors at the arrangement by which they themselves. if employing assistants, are to be excluded from the Exhibition after the completion of their fittings, unless by the purchase of tickets. A meeting was held on' Friday, and, by adjournment, on Saturday evening, at ,which several influential gentlemen were present, and discussed in warm terms the alleged in justice done to the contributors. The mayor of Sheffield occupied the chair on Saturday night. The speakers were very unanimous, and the fillowing resolution was agreed to nem. con. :—" That this meeting appoint a deputation to wait upon the Royal ,Commissioners, and respectfully to urge upon them the justice of admitting exhibitors on the first day of May anni during the continuance of the exhibition." The Royal Commission will meet to-day, when it is hoped the question will be amicably settled. MARRIAGE OF Miss TALBOT. —it is understood that the marriage of this young lady will take place in June; and that it will be performed at the residence of the Countess Newburgh, in Wilton-crescent. Lord Edward Eitzalan Howard, the betrothed husband, is 34 years of age and pos sesses a good property in his own right. He is heir also to the Glossop estates in Derbyshire, value 2,700 1 . per annum, and now in the possession of his father, the Duke of Norfolk ; in, is rather strange that the property in question, as well as the large property held by his Grace in Sheffield, came into possession of the Howard family by the marriage of a former Duke with a scion of the noble house of Talbot, the holders of the ancient earldom of Shrewsbury and Waterford. Lord Edward Howard is a very strict adherent to the tenets of his religion, as his brother (the Earl of Arundel and Surrey) is well known to be. It is also well known that the Duke of Norfolk himself is but nominally a member of the . Roman Catholic Church, and that when in attendance on the Queen he seldom on Sabbath absents himself from worship according to the Protestant religion. THE GAUGE ACT.—We understand that the Rai' way Commsssioners, who threatened some time ago to compel the (Sreat Western Company to lay down the narrew in ad dition to the broad gauge on the part of the Oxford and Rugby Railway between Banbury and Oxford—acting, as it was stated at the time, on the advic3 of the law officers of the Crown—have signified their intention of not carrying out their previously expressed purpose, thereby, for a time at least, permitting one gauge only—the broad—to be • laid down, notwithstanding the Act of Parliament, if our me mory is not at fault, stipulated for the laying down of both gauges. Without saying anything of the public interest that may be involved in this matter, or what Parliament .may say about it, we can only express our astonishment that a public body like the Railway Commissioners should so little know their own minds, or a proper course of action, as to threaten proceedings one day, and the next day find themselves compelled to retract their threat.—Herald. HONISTY AND GENEROSITY.-0 11 Saturday two 5/ notes were restored to their rightful owner by a poor but honest man, who keeps an apple-stall at Guildford. The loss had been previously announced by the town-crier, but as the number of the notes were not known the recovery of ' them was considered hopeless. The old man's honesty was rewarded by a present of two sovereigns —a vast accession to his capital at this season of the year. SPORTING NOTEtf , , No. XLIII. CHESTER SPRING MEETING. " Away ! the Corner' is deserted ; Away to Chester's ancient walls ! A thousand screaming trains have started; 'Tis neck or nothing—Pleasure calls; From every ingle of our islands, From east and west, from north and south, From Walmer to Glengarry's highlands, From Galway to the Bull and Mouth, Away they go !" TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,--A parting word with Newmarket before pass on to Chester. The race for the Newmarket Stakes re sulted somewhat after the style I fancied it would. Sir Joseph Hawley's chance with the Confessor, although deemed a certainty, was nothing of the kind; my remark of Thursday last, when I wrote—" It is considered a foregone conclusion in favour of Sir Joseph, but there has teen more impossible things accompliseed than Midas or Boo's winning"—was realiz'd by Midas clearing the winning post a head before the Confessor; who, by the bye, has about as much chance of carrying off too Epsom laurels as a tom cit. The Chester, one of the most important, if not the first of the Spiing Meetings, commences to-morrow, as usual, with the Grosvenor Stakes of 10 soya. each, &c. To close and name this evening. Alter which, as the play-bills have it, follows the Palatine Stakes for fillies, Bst 71b each, with allow ances and penalties, which has converted the stake into a species of handicap, though by no means a fair one. For this stake Tightwaist, Bst 71b—Truth, Bst 71b — Drill, Bst 41b—Manille, Bst 41b—Merry Peal, Bst—Con fidence, Bst—lschia, Bst—The Incurable, Sat—Hurry Scurry, Sat—and Queen Bee, Bst. may possibly be found at the post. The appearance of Iris, Hesse Homburg, and Vermuth, is not very probable. If either of this trio were to;show, they would capsize my calculations, which are founded according to the above list very con fidently on CONFIDENCE and MERRY PEAL ; with Hurry Scurry and The Incurable third and fourth. The entry for the Mostyn Stakes of 10 sous. each, with 100 added; for two yeks old colts and fillies, &c., is un commonly dark, only one or two out of the lot having run; however, Lord Eglinton's colt, Lizzy, Don Carlos, and Young Hawthorn, form the quartette destined, in my opinion, to send forth the mime of note; YOUNG HAWTHORN or Lord Eglinton's colt for choice, with Lizzy close up, and Don Carlos fourth. The Chesterfield Stakes seem to me to lay between Oleander, Bst, Emily Veil, 7st, and Scar, Est 12th; the first named for choice. On Wednesday the performances commence with the Corinthian Handicap, to close and name this evening. Then follows the Roodee Produce Stakes, which Harp sichord will win. Then comes " the great go" of " the meet," the Chester Cup; the field for which may be selected from the following list:—Russborough, 4 yrs, Bst 61b—Woolwich, 5 yrs, Bst—Vatican, 5 yrs, 7st 101 b (d)—Duc an Darras, 6 yrs, 7st 51b—Sauter-la-Coupe, 5 yrs, 7st 51b—Langton, 5 yrs, 7st 51b (d) —The Italian, 4 yrs, 7st 51b—Clarissa, 5 yrs, 7st 31b—Spot, 5 yrs, 7st 31b—The Knight of Avenel, 4 yrs, 7st 31b—Mon tague, 5 yrs, 7st 21b—Rhesus, 5 yrs, 7st—Sir Richard, 5 yrs, 7st—Seaman, 4 yrs, 7st—Haricot, 4 yrs, 6st 121b—Damask, 4 yrs, Est 101b—Lady Eden, 4 yrs, 6st 101 b (d)—Brother to Dough, 4 yrs, Est 101 b (d) — Prior of Lanercost, 4 yrs, Est 10Ib (d)—Mickleton, 4 yrs, 6st 10Ib—colt by Gladiator, 4 yrs, Est 10Ib—Cauriri, 5 yrs, Est 6113—Strap, aged, Est 41b—Eva, 5 yrs, Est 41b— Panope, 4 yrs, 6st 41b (o—York-you're- wanted, 4 yrs, 6st 41b—Wallflower, 5 yrs, 6st—Tarn Wadlin, 5 yrs, 6st (d)—The Flying Gout, 5 yrs, sst 121b—Made Safe, 4 yrs, sst 121b—Brington, 4 yrs, sst 101 b (v d)—Sprite f, 4 yrs, sst 101b—Hesse Homburg, 3 yrs, ist 61b—The Black Doctor, 3 yrs, sst 41b—Nancy, 3 yrs, 4st 121 b Knook Knoll, 3 yrs, 4st 81b (v d). As I remarked on Friday, and in direct opposition to " the talent," I again repeat to-day THAT BOTH RHESUS AND RUSSBOROUGH WILL BE BEATEN! They may run up into the third and fourth, or even second and third places, but nearer, in my humble opinion, they cannot get. They have both been backed for immense sums, are both considered by their respective parties certainties; but both these pots, I think, will boil over. Rhesus never was better in the whole course of his existence, and, according to Treen, is fit to run for a man's life. Russborough is perfec tion, and to a certainty will be found in the front rank ; perchance, may find his way into the War Eagle position of 1848. The public, in these in stances, must judge for themselves ; my judgement is against the R's. I cannot fancy how Russborough, with Bst 61b up, is to muster steam enough to finish with; and with regard to Rhesus, lightly weighted as he is, I think The Italian and The Knight of Avenel can give their year to him, and it strikes me the odd five and three pounds difference in the weight likewise; I may be wrong—about fifty hours will tell the tale. The following form the batch, in my opinion, that will be found in front at the distance, in, viz.:—Russ borough, Woolwich, Backbiter, Vampyre, Duc•an Durres, The Italian, The Knight of Avenel, Rhesus, Haricot, Strap, Hesse Homberg, and the Black Doctor. From this lot I should pick Vampyre from the old 'uns, The Knight and The Italian from the four years old, and The Black Doctor from the three years old; and take the ITALIAN or VAMPYRE as the absolute winner; with Rhesus, Russborough, The Knight, and The Doctor, heading the rusk. I shall postpone my comments on Thursday's and Friday's races, with the exception of the Dee Stakes, until to-morrow. For the Dee, out of forty-eight nominations, the following list includes all that are likely to figure in the race:— Osceola, Jack Leeming, Hippolytus, Colsterdale, Ver inuth. The Black Doctor, Mountain Deer, Knook Lightfoot, and Entre-nous. That awful bugbear of the ring, Lightfoot, is reported to be en route to the scene of action. This anions!, looked upon by so great a portion of the public as the almost certain winner of the Derby, will, I think, have to content himself with third honours for this stake; one or two of the runners, in my opinion, being quite gocd enough to give him the go-by in this mile and a quarter spin. The Lincoln green on the back of the MOUNTAIN DEER shall be my colour on ,he occasion. I am, Sir, yours, &c. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. April 28, 1851. SPORTIN G INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—SATURDAY. The betting turned almost exclusively on the leading favourites for the Chester Cap, nothing having been done on the Derby to justify a quotation. Rhesus was very much out of favour in the early part of the after noon, and after a slight rally closed at 7 to 1, offered to a "monkey." Hesse Homberg, Russborough, The Ita lian, and Backbiter, were in great force, the closing prices in each case showing an improvement. Two or three others were mentioned, but not backed to any amount.

It aid be a commodious buiLling, with a large extent of frontage, and will com mand a tine view of the whole of the running ground. A largo space will be enclosed in its front for a betting ring; in addition to which there will be an enclosure for saddling. Much to our regret, however, the old course over which the Brighton Stakes and Cup are run has beers for about a quarter of a mile of its middle entirely cut to pieces by the troops of the Bth Hussars having been drilled directly upon it, and which the race com mittee have no means of preventing. A good deal of money will have to be expended by them upon this por tion of the running ground prior to the races. THE FRINTLEY GANG. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sett,—l should not venture to intrude on your valu able space, did I not feel assured t hat b y so doing I should set right a very incorrect statement which ap peared in your columns, being the concluding part of a paragraph headed " The Frimley Gang , " and occupying a lengthy space in your paper of the 23d or 24th inst. It is as follows:—After speaking of the apprehension of Isaacs at Frome, " That Mr. Morten, the Superinten dent of the Tunbridge Wells police, succeeded in tracing to the possession of the prisoner a valuable diamond ring, gold chain, &c,, which were a portion of the pro perty stolen from the Misses Farnecombes in December last. These articles were on his person, in the house where he was staying. Mr. Morten immediately seized them, and the friends of the prisoner forthwith applied to the County Court at Frome for a summons against Mr. Morten for 101. 10s., alleged value of the goods." Nuw, Sir, this statement is wholly untrue. In contradiction to it, I beg to state the facts of the case, which are as fellows:—Some of the Frome constables having been apprised that Isaacs, the chief of this no torious gang, was in the neighbourhood of Frome, ap plied to Mr. Witcombe, a respectable tradesman, for the hire of a horse and carriage, that they might search for their man. They succeed in apprehending him at Norton, and brought him back to Frome in the vehicle. The next morning a diamond ring and gold chain were discovered lying on the mat in the carriage. Mr. Witcombe immediately notified this at the magis trate's office; and to several of the constables, who ad vised him to keep the articles till he was in a position to give them up to the proper authority—a mode of proceeding not, however, approved of by Mr. Morten — who came again to Frome on the Sunday following, ob tained a warrant to search Witcombe's house for the stolen goods, which he alleged were concealed there, and proceeded to execute it at ten o'clock on the same evening. Mr. Witcombo thereupon gave up the articles, and on the following day applied for a summons against the officer, not for the value of the stolen property, but to call in question a stretch of power on the part of the police officer, which he considers most unjustifiable. From these facts it will be evident that tho above state ment is quite without foundation, and as it has been co pied by several of the provincial papers, I shall be much obliged by your inserting this letter. I am, Sir, yours, &c. Frome, Somerset, April 26, 1851. A. M. PROCEEDINGS UNDER THE CENSUS ACT.-06 Sa turday, at the Richmond Petty Sessions, Mr. Ebenezer Fernie, an independent gentleman, living at the " Casino," Kew-green, was summoned, under the Census Act, for hav ing refused to deliver up the census paper, or schedule, by which he was liable to a penalty of not more than 51., nor less than 21. Proof of the delivery of the paper at the defendant's house, and his refusal to deliver it up to the collector who demanded it, having been given, the bench retired to consider their decision in private, and the result was the dismissal of the summons, only two of the magis strates being for a conviction. BLACK EDITORS.—Two of the leading newspapers in the British West Indies—the Morning Journal in Jamaica, and the [Vest -Indian in Barbadoes—are ti..,nuci and edited by gentlemen of colour. The proprietors and editors of these journals are, moreover, distinguished members of the legisla tures of their respective colonies. TURN-OUT OF BRICKLAYERS' LABOURERS. In consequence of the reduction of the duty on bricks, many of the brickinakers at Alirincham, near Manchester, have in creased the sin of their moulds, without giving any addi tional wages to the labourers, whose work is increased there by. The latter have therefore turned out, and considerable dissatisfaction exists among them. THE MARQUIS OF SALISBURY'S SOIREE.-011 Sa turday evening the Marquis of Salisbury gave a grand soiree at his mansion iu Arlington-street, to which his Lord ship, as Lord-Lieutenant of Middlesex, invited the magis tracy of the county ; amongst whom were present, H. Pow nall, Esq. ; B. Rotch, Esq.; T. Whisken, Esq. ; T. Amyott, Esq. ; &c. ; as, also, Mr. Alderman Lawrence and Donald Nicoll, Esq (late sheriffs) who have recently been included in the commission of the peace for such county. DIPLOMATIC APPOINTMENT3.—Lord Bloomfield is appointed Minister of Great Britain at Berlin, in the place of the Earl of Westmoreland, now her Majesty's Minister at Vienna on the reduced salary. Sir Hamilton Seymour is nominated Minister to St. Petersburgh. Sir Richard Paken ham, formerly Envoy to the United States, and who has been on the retired list since his return from Washington, is ap pointed her Majesty's Minist er at Lisbon. A LUCKY Loss.—When Lord Tenterden and Mr. Justice Richards were on the circuits eelthy once visitedotice toge ther the cathedral at Canterbury. a man there with a very tine voice. " said Lord Ten terden, " that's the only man I ever envied. When at school in this town we were candidates together for a chorister's place, and he obtained it." CHEAP OMNIBUSES FOR THE EXHIBITION.—Yes terday morning uo less than ten new omnibuses commenced running from Kennington - gate to the Exhibition, charging no inore than 2d. for each passenger for the entire distance, taking the route by Kennington-green, Walcot-place, over Westminster -bridge, to Charing-cross, and thence to Picca dilly, &c. A similar number, upon the same terms, will be placed on this line in a few days, and the like number, it is understood, will also start from Camberwell-gate upon the same economical rate. THE MASTER OF ST. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE. — On Saturday a special meeting of the directors and guardians of the poor of St. Pancras was held in the workhouse. Mr. Donald Frazer, senior churchwarden, in the chair. Mr. Simpson moved the suspension of the master on account of the charge nude against him in reference to the girl Eliza Smith. Mr. Kessick seconded the:motion. After some dis cussion in which charges were made about tampering with the witnesses in the case, Mr. Churchwarden Baker was sur prised at a charge of tampering being made, f u r which he thought there was no grounds. He moved the adjournment of the board. Mr. Howse seconded the amendment. The amendment was put and carried by a majority of 17 to 7. PARRICIDE AT WESTMINSTER.—RiChard Judd, the presumed victim of a son's atrocious violence, expired at one o'clock on Saturday morning in the Westminster Hos pital, where he has lingered in an insensible state, from the effects of the injuries be received, for the last fortnight with out the least chance of recovery. MAGISTRATES' CLERKS.—The system which pre vals of having more than one clerk of a petty sessions, is in a fair way of being abolished; public feeling is clearly against the system, and justly so, for several reasons. It does not speak well for magistrates who have promoted and adopted it. Magistrates should carefully and cautiously guard against doing anything which gives an appearance of wrong, or even indiscretion, mu cil" more so to act in a way to be open to censure ; and the system referred to does carry an appearance both of impropriety and wrong, n o t only as respects individuals, but as regards the public. The sooner the practice is abolished the better, in every point of view. Mr. James, of the Northern CircuitAas been ap pointed stipendiary magistrate of Liverpool, in the room of the late Mr. Rushton. The salary is 1,0001. a-year.— Weekly Chronicle. Captain J. Rainier is appointed resident magistrate at Riveradale, Cape of Good Hope. MURDER OF A YOUNG WOMAN. -- NORWICH SATURDAY.—A painful sensation has prevailed in the imme diate neighbourhood of King-street, in this city, in conse quence of a brutal murder committed by a man n 3 ;, n 1 ed James Flood, who resides in Ber-street. The forehead of the wo man had a cut an inch and a half deep, the lip was also cut through, and the nose was broken, and she vomited blood Mr. Day, a sargeon, attended, but deceased died last night. Caroline Collins said, she heard Flood say to deceased " You —, I'll kill you;" when he struck her on the head, and knocked her down, and he then kicked her on the head. The inquiry was adjourned for a post.mortem examination to be made. Loss or Two LI day night, about ten o'clock, LIVERPOOL. —On Sato about twenty •seven years of age a w oman, ad ver apeetably pparently dressed, committed suicide by throwing herself ' into the river from the great landing stage. It was about an hour past high water, and the tide was running out very strong, so that al- ' though every exertion was made to save her she was carried away by the tidal stream, and her body ban not been yet recovered. The police had noticed the woman walking up and down the stage fa so me time, an d she took the oppor tunity to commit the act when there was no boat at the staze. A fatal accident occurred at almost the same spot about half an hour aftervvards by the Rock Ferry steamer, in crossing the river to Liverpool, running down a luggar bo a t belonging to Tranmere , in which were two men, one of whom, name d John Willia ms, the master, perished. The night was very dark, with squalls of rain and sleet at in tervals, and the luggar boat had no light. The body in this case also has not been recovered. DIRATRE.—This pretty little NEW STRA ND theatre has been taken by Mr. Copeland, brother-in-law of Douglas Jerrold, the lessee of the .principal I Liverpool theatres, and having been newly decorated co medy, a farce by Buckstone, and pens to-night with a counctect with the great ~. . a mytholozical sketch, / 47411"Itat)uf by SbilleY larvolis. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Lucrezia Borgia was performed on Saturday f or the first time this season for the debut of Mademoiselle Alaimo in the character of Lucrezia, and seldom have we assisted at a debfit su completely and so deservedly succe-sful. Mademoiselle Alaimo is a Sicilian, and her native city Palermo wan, we believe, the scene of her earliest triumphs. The verdict of the Palermi tans, who are excellent critics, was ratified by that of several of the principal cities of Italy, and is now confirmed by that of the habitues of her Majesty's Theatre, who on Saturday night testified by the enthusiasm of their applause, that they thoroughly appreciated the genius of Madlle. Alaimo. This lady is very young, and possesses mobile and most expre sive features, and an eye which, like that of poor Edmund Kean, flashes fire in moments of excitement. Her voice is a pure soprano, of immense power, great compass, and perfect evenness, there is not through out its whole compass to be found a single weak, faulty, or defective note ; it is admirably cultivated and well under command. As an actress she ranks fore most amongst the first. Never have we seen the terrific first act, in w hi ch L ucrez i a has to ex hibi t almost every passion of the human h ea rt in its utm os t i n t ens ity, more beautifully rendered. Her indignant demand for vengeance on h er i nsu l ter, h er h orror at f i nd i ng that it is the death o f Gennaro that she has been de m;.nding., the intensity o f h er agon y d ur i ng th e whole of tne poison scene, an d t h e i mpass i one d h aste with which she forces G ennaro to ta k e the antidote, took the auceence completely by storm, and at the conclu.:lon she was called on and received with salvoes of applause. Her vocalisation, too, was admirable, and the far-famed tri o was ren d ere d by Madlle. Alaimo, Gardoni , and Lablache, in a matter of manner perfectly faultless , and Was, as a sublime course, rapturously encored. In the last act she the in was sneer magnificent withw ; htilichereshe welcomed e s l o c metehdingherpoisoned guests to una cena in Ferrara ;and the tr ans i t i on from fiend-like triumph to agonising despair W h en she discovers that among the guests is Gennaro, was the very perfection of, acting. In the concluding scene her impassioned agony was heartrending. At the conclusion she was called on three times, and was applauded to the echo. She has achieved a c om pl e t e , an d what is better still, a genuine success. Gardoni appeared for the first time thi s season as Gennaro; h i s vo i ce, w hi c h is as exquisitely sweet as ever, app e ar s t o have recovered its power since last season, and his health seems alto gether to have improved. He sung and acted admi rably. The Alfonso of Lablache was magnificent, and we prefer his " make up" of Saturday night to that of last season ; the black velvet robe is much more becoming than the scarlet and ermine. Madlle. Ida Bertrand threw such spirit a n d energy i nto th e character of Maffeo Orsini, and s ung t h e B r i n di s i with such finish and joyousness that we really did not feel the absence of Alboni. Mdlle. Ida Bertrand was encored in the Brindisi, and was deservedly applauded throughout. The chorus was full and perfect, and the opera was admirably placed on the stage. Amongst the noble and distinguished individuals honouring the performance with their presence we noticed the following :—His Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxo Weimar, his Grace the Duke of Wel lington, his Excellency the Russian Minister, hi s Excellency the Swedish Minister, the Marquis and Marchsoness of Salisbury, Marchioness of Aylesbury, Marquis of Donegal, Marquis and Marchioness of Sligo and the Ladies Browne, the Earl and Countess of Wilton, Lady Elizabeth Egerton and party, Earl Mountcharles, Countess of Lichfield, Earl of Aboyne, Earl Bruce, the Count de Morina, Right Hon.

EXHIBITION OF THE SOCIETY OF PAINTERS IN WATER COLOURS. The exhibition of the Old Society of Painters in Water Colours opens to-day, at their Gallery in Pen man East. The art of painting in water colours is an art peculiarly national. It was in England that the water colour sketcher first became a painter, and England alone has hitherto produced pic tures in water colours. It was, therefore, with regret that we found in this year of grace 1851, when all the artists of all nations will be assembled in London, • and when most assuredly the exhibition of water colour paintings will be one which they will scrutinize most narrowly that, Cattermole, if not the very greatest, certainly one of the greatest, of our painters in-water colours, doeo not exhibit. Coplel:Fielding, however, the 1 VE toren of water colour painters, is there, and has contri -1 bated numerous pictures of vai ious siz-s and ou various 1 subjecti,bu: :Al treat:A in an admirable manner, and all to be P , cognized as unmistakeable Copiny Fielding , , without referr:rg to the catalogue. S. Prout, too, comes out in great force, and gives us several views of the medieval !Jennings and streets of France and Belgium, painted with the most exquisite finish. We bad a!must despaired of ever finding ry successor to Sam Prou•, but, if we mistake n:it, Carl Ilan is destined to follow him baud longo intervcdlo; his view in Nurernburgh is a very fire work. Mr. T. M. Richardson contributes a beautiful picture of Como, which, taken as a whole, is perhaps the finest landscape in the exhibition; the beautiful warmth of this picture contrasts forcibly with tire chill ing " Frost Scene on the Bath C,al," by Mr. C. Bran white. No one can look upon this last without shivering, Gastineau has a fine view of Peel Castle, Isle of Man; and F. W. Topham contributes a beautiful picture of " Highland Smugglers leaving the Hills with their whisky." Mr. F. Taylor gives us " A Fete Champetre in the time of Charles II. , " which need not shrink from a comparison with any of the chef d'oeuvres of Watteau, and Mr. J. Callow contributes several brilliant sea pieces. Altogether the exhibition is very good. , p b e y ri t e h h e ed eart a h t D fal o u r n k g in u g pon on the F m ri a d t ay the w d h e i p li th t r.. sin T kin w g o a m w e e n ll of more than fifty feet. A fire broke out in the night of Friday last in the wood of La Reusse, commune of Prdly (Cher), which burnt with such violence that, notwithstanding the utmost exer tions of the people, who collected from all parts, 250 hectares (rather more than 600 acres) of wood were destroyed. The fire is attributed to the carelessness of some shepherds.— Galignani.

The short facts of the case as detailed to the coroner (Mr. Charsley) at the inquest held at the Green Man, Wraysbury, are as follows :—lt appeared that the unfortunate gentleman left his house at Eghain, art Saturday last, in a state of mind that caused great uneasia_eas er to his friends.
