(From the Sunday Times.) Until nearly half-past eight o'clock the aspect of the Downs was as wretched as a cold heavy rain could make it. Scarcely half a dozen persons had ventured forth, and sot a horse was to be seen ! in the hazy atmosphere the grand stand looked dismally spectral, and the skeleton booths " grinned horribly a ghastly smile." As the morning wore on the clouds began to disperse, and a slight improvement in the weather took place. Groups of cognoscenti and Derby sweepists slowly collected near the exercise ground, and at length the appearance of the horses fixed the attention of all, and gave life and interest to the stirring scene. Then might be heard the confidential com ment; and remarks of " layers and backers" on the condition and action of the different nags, as they successively galloped pact. The first that came out to gallop was the The Hero, with few of the capabilities of a hero, in our opinion ; nevertheless, it afforded Sam Day, who was upon him, an opportunity of getting his hand in readiness to steer Old England for the great event. Idas, who arrived overnight with Evenus and Boarding School Miss, and took up their quarters at the Baron de Tes sier's, was one of the earliest on the ground. He appeared in blooming condition, and was followed by all the gazers pre sent. After walking about for a short tine, the " creek" was favoured with a taste of the hill, that " bugbear" in the minds of many, which it is supposed will put an extin guisher on his chance of victory. Evenus led them at his best pace, Idas lying close to him, and pulling hard all the way till they were stopped, after going about three-quarters of a mile. This was repeated a second time and afforded the cog noscenti an opportunity of coming to some definite conclusion upon this much questioned point. Some aver that he mounted the hill like an antelope, and " went like a bird," whilst others as strongly insisted that he would tire, and that he gave every indication of his not liking the ground. He pulled up on both occasions in the soundest and freshest manner possible, and, though his " schoolmaster" certainly made a little noise, there were no indications whatever of a similar nature on the part of the " pupil." Cataract and Malt had a " spin," but both appeared to be very queer. Among Lumley's leans we were particularly struck with the appearance of Vol-au-Vent, who went splendidly, and led us :o imagine that he will take a very great deal of beating for the Surrey Cup. Pantasa, who is much grown, and evidently greatly improved on his two yr old form, took a good gallop, accompanied by a filly by Glaucus, and was much admired. Fuzbos, who is strongly fancied by the Epsom division, took gentle exercise. He was tried over the Derby course on Fri day afternoon, in the midst of a heavy rain (Frank Butler " up") with Qui Tam, (ridden by the boy) and The Attorney (steeled by Sam Mann). Qui Tam made the running to the mile-post "as hard as he could split," when The Attorney, who was in waiting, went on at his best pace to the distance, where, being ru n a l mos t t o a stand-still, he gave up, leaving Fu zbos alone in his glory. Such are the plain facts, as they were told us by one who witnessed the trial. They who have invested upon Desperation will, we opine, have a desperately bad chance for their money. He is as slow as a coach-horse. Jinglepot attempted to gallop with Pagan, but a more fruit less attempt we never witnessed. He went stumpy and short, and lost all favour. Cabin Boy, who sweated yesterday, went a steady gallop this morning, but by many his action was considered too laboured and heavy. Wood Pigeon, attended by Dr. Hill, also galloped, showing great improvement in his style of going since we last saw him at Newmarket. Count Bathyany's Sister to Whitefoot, Pergularia, and an other went well. Columbus took a good steady gallop ; he is a very pretty goer, looks remarkably fit, and in his appearance has much of the character of Cotherstone. We understand that he possesses a most excellent temper. " The Vicar " will officiate for him on the eventful occasion. Sir Gilbert's lot did not show out of the paddock up to the time of our departure ; neither had Clear-the-Way nor Pam at that time made their appearance. The former galloped yes terday on the six-mile hill ; we are informed he looks well though rather lusty. Pam, notwithstanding the unfavourable reports which have been current against him, and his retro gression in the betting a few days ago, is as "right as a trivet," and will make many quake before Judge Clarke gives his all important decision. At Leatherhead, Scot's, Rogers's, and Lonsdale's strings are located. Of the first-named lot Kedger and Lelia are most liked ; and the former, who goes remarkably well, may yet re trieve the character which he has partially lost, and enable his backers to " get out" satisfactorily. The Miss Whip colt looks and goes well. The Libel was most anxiously looked for, but, much to the disappointment of those interested for and against him, he had not yet arrived. John Day's, Forth's lot, and the Duke of Richmond's horses are expected to reach their quarters to-day or to-morrow. The Danebury division will be located at Banstead, the Goodwood at Headley, and Forth's let at Ashstead. With respect to the latter, it was remoured that Doleful's legs are somewhat queer, and that the " pick of the basket" will be found to be The Merry Monarch. We did not hear a single bet laid upon the ground ; and the only offer which came under our own observation was to back Pan tasa. A LARII. —When about half way between Epsom and Lonct n we met Alarm, who was being vanned with all possible dis patch to the scene of action. MR. GULLY'S OLD ENGLAND. The following circumstance, which has caused no little ex citement in the ring, has been communicated to us :—Mr. Gully yesterday entrusted a gentleman with a commission to back his horse, Old England, for a very large sum, which was accomplished, but on the bets being conned over by that gentleman, he perceived that the greater portion of the amount was laid out with one person. This, with other circumstances which had come to the knowledge of Mr. Gully, roused his suspicions, and led to angry words, Mr. G. (as it was stated), taxing the party with having over laid his book to an enormous amount in betting against his horses. The gentleman, however, expressed his willingness to stake the amount whenever called upon. Immediately after the occurrence Mr. Gully, it is said, left town for Danebury, and we fear the result will have the effect of lessening the field for the Derby in a way the least expected, and we may add, the most to be regretted. SIR JOHN RENNIE'S FIRST CONVERSAZIONE. The first conversatione given by Sir John Rennie, the Pre sident of the Institution of Civil Engineers, took place on Saturday evening, and although we were well assured that there would not be any diminution in the hospitable recep tion, and the interesting collection of works of art, to which we have been accustomed in former years, we were not prepared for the tasteful preparations and brilliant display which awaited the visitors on this occasion, and more especially, for the presence of Lady Rennie, and a numerous assemblage of her lady friends. In addition to the ordinary suite of rooms, a large apart ment had been constructed at the rear of the house, adjoin. ing the second saloon. The walls and ceiling were tastefully decorated in encaustic painting, by Sang, in the same deli. cate and tasteful style which he has so well displayed at the Royal Exchange, the Conservative Club, and in other places. The effect of the light upon the well-combined and vivid colours of the encaustic decorations,, and the brilliant furni ture, was particularly striking. In the centre of this room was suspended a magnificent chandelier, made by Mr. Apsley Pellatt, from the prize-drawing at the School of Design. It was entirely composed of glass, combining judiciously the effect of the prismatic colours, of cut white drops, with the Bohe mian stained glass. This chandelier, whether viewed as a speci men of workmanship or of taste, was extremely creditable to Mr. Pellatt, whose productions we have before frequently praised. In the rooms were several fine specimens of Bohemian glass, also from his collection. We can scarcely attempt to particularise all the numerous works of art, and interesting models, which were profusely spread throughout the rooms; but we must notice the bronzes from Mr. Deville's collection, an exquisite carving in Caen stone of St. George and the Dragon, by Mr. Thomas ; Mr. Goadby's interesting anatomical preparations; the paintings by Boxall, Oliver, Scanlan, Kendrick, Buss, and Tomkins ; the portfolios of sketches by Gastineau, Buss, Duncan, Oliver, Kendrick, and others; a fine drawing of Mr. Walker's new graving dock at Woolwich ; beautiful speci mens of Claudet's new process of ;Talbotype, by which the accuracy of Daguerreotype, and the artistic effect of oil painting ap. pear combined. There were some excellent wood carvings by Ro gers, almost equalling a case of ivory carvings by Flamingo, from the collection of Mr. Vulliamy ; these appeared to excite much attention. The models were, perhaps, somewhat less mimerous than usual, but they were select and well displayed. We must mention from among them, Mitchell's screw-pile battery ; the Air Point Lighthouse, by Messrs. Walker and Surges; Captain Boswell's plan for harbours built with arched piers; the original design, by Mr. Stephenson, for an iron bridge of two arches, each of 360 feet span, to carry the Chester and Holyhead Railway across the Menai Straits, but which is now to be superseded by the suspended tunnel-bridge, formed of wrought iron; the Folkstone Viaduct, by Mr. W. Cubitt ; an ingenious cast iron trussed-girder bridge, by Mr. Borthwick ; and a good model of a stone bridge, with flat elliptical arches, designed some years since by Mr. Rennie, to replace Westminster.bridge. There was a fine model of the " Great Britain," and several of vessels to be propelled by the screw, designed by Mr. Guppy; a steam-frigate, with direct-acting engines and screw.propeller, by Mr. Rennie ; a beautiful pair of marine engines, by the late Mr. Henry Maud_ slay ; Mr. Bodmer's proposed horizontal engines and screw-pro peller; Mr. Hick's improved locomotive engine; Messrs. Grissell and James's combinations of a weighing-machine and crane, to as certain the weight of an object while raising it. Our limits will not permit a more extended notice, but at the next conversazione, which will take place on Saturday, the gist instant, we shall hope to have another opportunity of examining more minutely those objects which may have escaped our notice on this ocaasion. We must, in concluding, congratulate the institution upon having, In the recent changes in its constitution, secured another president, who so liberally and indefatigably devotes himself to its service; and who, if we may judge from the support of the council, and the uumeruus attendance of the members and his friends, appears to enjoy no inconsiderable share of popularity.

Van de Weyer, it is certain that the representations of our lyrical performers at London will be very brilliant—so many boxes are already taken that a receipt of 14,000 francs is certain; the expenses of each evening are 7,500 francs; the King and Queen of the Belgians, who will go to London, have taken three boxes for themselves and their suite. ANCIENT CONCERTS.—There was a private re hearsal on Saturday of the selection made by his Royal Highness Prince Albert for Wednesday evening. The singers will be Ma dame Castellan, Misses Schloss and Barrett ; Messrs. Mario, Hobbs, Hawkins, Machin, Ocerhoffer, Pischek, and Staudigl. Among the novelties will be a trio by the latter three eminent singers. To-morrow (Tuesday), the day appointed for the celebration of her Majesty's birth, will be observed as a holiday at all the Government offices and other public establishments. This, with the exception of Christmas-day and Good Friday, is the only day throughout the year which is observed as a general holiday by the Customs department, owing to the very great inconvenience which is thereby caused to every branch of the import and shipping trade of the post. Even on this occasion, the London and the St. Katharine Dock Companies have made application and obtained permission to keep a portion of the bonded warehouses open during the day for business purposes, in order to meet the enter. gency of an ensuing public sale on the following day. TIIE CONVICT CONNOR.—'lle Sheriffs have fixed Monday next, the 2d June, for the execution of this unhappy criminal. MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.—(From a Correspondent.) —On Saturday afternoon as a lady and a little girl were crossing the street near the statue of King William, in King William street, they became so entangled with the various carriages crowd ing the street, that there seemed but little chance for the child avoiding being run over, as in this dangerous situation the poor little creature had become separated from its mother. A gentle man who was passing by, observing the perilous situation of the child sprang from the causeway, seized the child, and rescued it from its danger ; and whilst endeavouring to spring back to save himself, his feet slipped from under him, and he fell on his back, when the wheel of a vehicle which was going rapidly along passed right over his body, without any serious injury being sustained by him; and the moment lie tinind himself liberated from the car riage he sprang upon his feet with amazing activity, amidst the warm plaudits of those who witnessed his spirited and fortunate assistance. CHURCH-RATES. - ST. GEORGE-IN•THE-EAST.- On Saturday the polling for a church.rate was resumed in the vestry.room of the parish church of St. George, Middlesex, and at four o'clock Mr. Liquorish, the senior churchwarden, declared the numbers to be—For the rate, 30 ; against it, 144 ; majority, 114. The rate is lost, and, what is most extraordinary, by the votes of the Church party, who, to show their detestation of Puseyism, in. troduced by the Rev. Bryan King, the rector, voted against the rate. After the final close of the poll several gentlemen addressed the vestry. There were not more than twenty ratepayers in attend ance ; and Mr. Cullin said, as the Church party had voted against the rate for conscience' sake, he hoped they would in future give credit to the conscientious opinions of the Dissenters, who uni formly voted against church-rates, because they considered that no man had any right to support any religion from which he dissented. The Dissenters voted against church-rates on the same principle as Churchmen had done on this occasion, because compulsory pay ments for the support of a religion to which they objected was op posed to the rights of conscience. After some observations from Mr. Rippingham, the Chairman, Mr. Dean, and others, the vestry was dissolved. THE MARYLEBONE VEST/I.Y AND MR. TWYFORD.— At a meeting of the vestry on Saturday, the rector stated that he had received no communication front Sir James Graham respecting Mr. Meyer, which was, he supposed, attributable to the difficulty in which he was placed as to his mode of action.—(Hear.) The charges by the vestry were fully borne out, 'as appeared from Mr. Maclean not having dared to press the prosecution against Mr. Meyer. He (the rectos) consulted with men of high judicial stand. ing upon the subject, who declared that they knew not what advice to give, as, although it might be desirable that Mr. Twyford should be dismissed, yet that it might not be so easy for Sir James Graham to do so. Although the vestry no doubt were anxious that that magistrate should be removed, yet perhaps it would be better for them to wait for another week to ascertain whether Sir James Graham would keep his promise, or they might remind him of it, or recommend the removal of Mr. Twyford to a less respon sible situation. After some discussion it was agreed to grant the Home Secretary another week to act ; and in case he should not move by that time in the case, that they should again have an interview with him, and press him to grant some redress to Mr. Sir Will Meyer for the gr oss ou t rage an d wrong i n fli c t e d upon that unfor. tunate gentleman. jam Eden, Bart. , of Wiadlestone, and Frederick Milbank, El" o Hart, have been appointed deputy Lieutenants of M e cooly o f Durham by the Marquis of London derry, Lord Lieutenant TTIE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 26, 1845. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) The entries for the various stakes at. Epsom are not so nu merous as might have been anticipated. The Craven, on Tuesday, will be a most interesting race, the representatives of all the great stables, with the exception of John Day's, being engaged in it ; and upon its result the Derby betting may be materially affected. Should the favourites' trial horse, Evenus, be defeated he will certainly recede in the market. The only two that appear to have any chance with him are Pagan and the Knight of the Whistle, who will be certainly started to get his length for Jinglepot and Pam. I conceive, however, Evenus has speed enough about him to win this race without much difficulty. To the Woodcote there are 14 subscribers, and the following colts are on the spot :—Lord G. Bentinck's Cherokee, Mr. Herbert's f by Elis, Mr. W. Scott's Malt, Lord Chesterfield's Subscription, Mr. Walker's Guzman, Mr. John Day's the Hero, Mr. Dunkald's St. George, and Mr. Boyce's Tom Sare. Of this lot I expect to see Cherokee first and Lord Harry second. I now come to the Derby, for' which there will be more starters than I previously fancied, many horses having been sent whose chance I consider utterly hopeless. Idas this afternoon was not so firm in his position as he previously had been, and there was a great disposition among the cog noscenti of the ring to bet against him. Although he is a magnificent horse, I consider him more adapted for the flat at Newmarket than a course like Epsom, and I fancy that the hill which has so often destroyed the chance of the pride of Newmarket, will prevent Lord Stradbroke from en joying the enviable honour of possessing the winner of the Derby for 1845. In spite of Weatherbit's position in the market, Old England is fast coming, and if h e d oes no t pass him in the betting, I have no doubt he will do so in the race. The most dangerous horse to be against, in my opinion, is The Libel. From the manner this horse won at Chester, the per formances of Sweetmeat at Bath and Shrewsbury, and the running of Salopian with Intrepid at Shiffnall, I do not con sider there is any horse in the race with more pretensions to be considered the winner. Mr. Mostyn's Pantasa I expect to see in a forward position. His Cheshire friends still stick to him. Alarm owes his place in the market entirely to his single race last year at Stockbridge, and to his having beaten Queen Mab in a trial at Newmarket. Although Nat will be on his back, I do not consider his opponents need be under any ap prehensions about him. Mr. Gratwicke, the owner of D ileful, won the Derby in 1829, with Frederick, and from the manner in which his lot are backed, one would be really inclined to think that his fortune, hitherto so doleful (seeing that for a period of fifteen years he never won a race), was about to take a turn. I am afraid, however, the Derby is beyond his reach. Jinglepot, as I predicted last week, is rising gradually. I am convinced this horse will be found very handy at the finish. The Goodwood Stakes has been too powerful this season to be passed over without notice. I am afraid its only representative will be the Laird o' Cock pen, who comes from a mare not calculated to produce a Derby winner, as she never could run beyond three quarters of a mile. Pam, Keiger, and Newsmonger's chance I fancy quite out. Of Columbus I know nothing. Clear-the-way must indeed have the way cleared for him to win. Fuzbos has done nothing in public to warrant his being looked upon favourably. The same remark will apply to Mentor, An nandale, and Cabin Boy, although it is asserted that the latter could have beaten St. Lawrence at Bath, which I do not believe. Salopian will only be started to make running for the Libel. Idas has made apparent the capabilities of Wood Pigeon ; and Young Eclipse's visit to Goodwood has done him more harm than good. In conclusion, after a careful consideration of the merits of the different nags, I fancy we shall see the Libel first at the winning post, with Old Eng land second, and the Crack or Jinglepot third. The other races on that day call for no observation. On Thursday the great feature of attraction will be the Surrey Cup, for which I prefer most Moustache and Pug. The Christina filly, if she can be kept straight, must run forward. On Friday, for the Oaks, I expect to see Lady Wildair, Lancashire Witch, Hope, Refraction, Miss Elis, Rose of Cashmere, Heather Bell, Maid of Orleans, Plaudit, Egis, Stamp, The Wreck, Glee, Loelia, Event, Miss Sarah, Fickle Wild Rose, Sir Charles Monck's filly, Marian Ramsey, and Giantess. Lady Wildair made her debut at Stockbridge, where she ran third to Alarm. At the Newmarket July Meeting she won the Chesterfield Stakes, beating six others. At Brigh ton she won a sweepstakes, beating the Laird o' Cockpen and two others. At Doncaster she beat Sister to Pathfinder easily, and at the Newmarket Craven Meeting, over the D. M., she won a 50 sovs. sweepstakes, beating three others. She is trained by John Scott, will be ridden by Nat, and if she can beat Lancashire Witch will, I think, be first in the race. The Lancashire Witch has never been defeated yet, and the way in which she won at Chester the Prince of Wales's Stakes at York, and the Champagne at Doncaster, must na turally impart great confidence to her admirers, of which class lam one. She is a fine slashing mare, with a tre mendous stride, and will be ridden by Templeman. Mr. Bennett's Hope was beaten by Lancashire Witch at Doncaster, and will, I think, be beaten again by her in this race. Her winning the Wirral Stakes at Chester showed certainly an improvement in her favour, but I cannot think she will be good enough to be enrolled as an Oaks winner. The Maid of Orleans is strongly supported on the strength of her two-year-old running, and I am told her owner is sanguine of winning with her. She has started four times, and won on each occasion without difficulty. With this mare and the two I have first mentioned I con ceive the Oaks rest. Refraction's chance, previous to her running at Newmarket for the Coffee-room Stakes, was by no means a bad one ; now, I should imagine it to be gone. Heather Bell's pretensions were settled by Picnic at the same meeting.improved since she ran lastto beat plaidElis must ofOrleans, vastly and will, I fancy, turn out inferior to the Rose of Cashmere, at present the most for midable of Kent's lot. Of the merits of the others lam un acquainted, and consider, as I have before stated, the race to be left to Lady Wildair, Lancashire Witch, and the Maid of Orleans,with a slight preference for the Witch.

What's to beat him ? is the cry— Weatherbit—is the reply; Hookey Walker,. all-my-eye. Tho' Junior John (a) is on the crack, Old England still some fools will back, Others say Worthless is the pot Of all the fearful Danebury lot. Each hath his fancy ; what's the harm, But see what's coming, 'tis Alarm, The worthy son of a stout sire,(b) Nor likely at the hill to tire, He'll make some Big'un much perspire, And many will from him retire ; And Libel now begins to show, As Ironmaster is " no go." The latter might a "tale unfold," And change his metal into gold ; But fate ordains he must not shine In character at Crcesus' shrine, " Tis pity ; pity 'tis, 'tis true, That Libel now the work must do, Though Wadlow's (c) friends will rail and rue, And Pantasa is look'd upon, By some as if the race he'd won ; The hill he'll climb, the distance stay, But he's no Queen of Trumps , 1 say. What next? The now neglected lot Are seen approaching of John Scot; What chance have they to fill the till, Without our friend, the " Boisterous Bill?"

It seem that Kedger shuns the field, And Cobweb's son doth likewise yield; Bet Pam. and Newsmonger will show, And one of them run forward too, But which of them I've yet to know.

Winchester too, it's said, will start, To make the running very s mart. Maynooth, unlike Sir Robert's Bill, Defeated is by the long hill. Eclipse, Columbus, and the rest, Are in the ruck, where bad the best. The Cabin Boy is but so-so; Alf, disappointed is the Roe, ( 1 k) And there's but few more nags will go.: Now see they're saddled for the start, With many a palpitating heart Silently making its remark. Off ! Winchester away is steering, Making running, nothing fearing; Idas with him, stout and handy, In as good a place as can be, With the Whip colt and the Libel, Pam and Newsmonger not idle; Next Alarm, but with this tit Behold the waiting Weatherbit. Doleful and Titmouse now appear, The first emerging from the rear, Reaches the pet of Danebury's girth, And soon is heard loud cries of Forth— Pantasa, Jinglepot, The Laird Are witnessed labouring very hard. And now " The Corner's" turn'd, and hear The shout of joy—of doubt—of fear As the first lot the distance near. Idas beats all his former foes, And like a valiant victor goes; His backers now have nought to fear, Except the winner once last year, And the dark nag Young John doth steer; For see Alarm is coming fast, And Weatherbit in foaming haste, They close—they struggle. What has won? The game Alarm, stout Venison's son. Idas, his backers' hopes to wreck, Is beaten by John Day a neck. Pantasa—next with Scott and Libel— Prove some predictions were but futile.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] INTERESTING TO LADIES. To Messrs. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, London. Percy-place, Landport, Portsmouth, April 4, _844. Gentlemen, —I think it but an act of jnstice to inform you of the benefit I have derived from the use of your admirable Macassar Oil. About six months ago I found ray hair getting daily more weak and thin, and much discoloured, from a practice I had adopted of wetting it continually ; fearing that I should lose it entirely, and hearing of the efficacy of your Macassar Oil, I have for some time past constantly used it, and the result is, that my hair is now perfectly restored and much improved in appearance and colour, having become thick, dark, and glossy ; it also curls freely without the use of paper, which it never did before. To all my friends I have warmly recommended your Macassar Oil as an eacellent restorative and preservative for the hair. As I have an objection to see my name in print, I beg you will not publish it; but you are at liberty to show this letter, or make any other use you please of it, and refer applicants to me, if necessary, in proof of the efficacy of your Ma cassar Oil.—Your obedient servant, Rowland's Macassar Oil preserves and reproduces the Hair ; prevents it from falling off or turning Grey ; Changes Grey Hair to its Original Colour ; frees it from Scurf and Dandruff, and makes it beautifully soft and curly. _ _ Ask for " Rowland's Macassar Oil." All others are fraudulent counterfeits. SPLENDID ARRANGEMENT OF LOOKING-GLASS, producing the effect of a long arcade, and so bewildering as to cause a doubt whether you are in London or in old Rome. " Arch follows arch, and pile succeeds to pile." This unique apartment is devoted to cutting and arrang ing the hair in, and with another having a beautiful view of Naples, are on the ground-floor. In calling at tention to their establishment, Ross and Sons beg to notice the advantages of their system—viz., they never take apprentices nor young men from the country, nor object to customers asking for the same Dian to wait upon them ; every person has clean brushes, they never being used twice, without being washed and parties are not pressed to buy things they do not want. Address, Ross and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishops gate-street. THE HAGUE, MAY 22.---According to the ac count sent by the Dutch Consulate at the Havannah, the hurricane of the 4th and sth of October last year had done so much injury, especially to the sugar manufacto ries, that it will occasion a diminution of 500,000 chests of sugar in the production of the year 1844. It is cal culated that several years will pass before the damage can be repaired, and the production raised to its usual amount. The office of Collector of the Customs at Ports mouth having become vacant by the decease of Mr. Hull, the following promotions have taken place in consequence:—Mr. Charles Hoffnseister, Comptroller of the port of Hull, to be Collector at Portsmouth; Mr. Frederick Cassell, Collector at aluglas. Isle of Man, to be Comptroller at Hull ; Mr. M . Guffog, Collector at Fowey, to be Collector at Douglas ; Mr. Thorneley, Comptroller at Newry, to be Collector at Fowey; Mr. Kinsey, Collector at Tralee, to be Comptroller at Newry; Mr. Cronin, Clerk at Galway, to be Collector at Tralee. —Observer. RACE OF MAN 'v. HORSE.—This morning a race which created some interest from its novelty, came off in the pre sence of a good number of spectators—the competitors were Staf ford (a pedestrian), and a horse belonging to Mr. Willet. The contesting distance was from the Regent's Park-gates, in the New road, to Euston-square, about a mile. The stipulated conditions of the match were, that the pedestrian should have an advantage at starting of 100 yards, the horse to trot under saddle, and to be confined to trotting only. The stakes were 5/. a-side. The start was made, Stafford availing himself of the advantage at starting, and maintained the lead for half a mile; the bipid and quadruped then continued contending alongside each other till they arrived near Tottenham-court -road, when the pedestrian evidently made up his mind for the goal, and went away at extra speed ; and was imitated by his opponent, but who almost immediately broke into a gallop, and was pulled in. This gave the pedestrian an op portunity of making ground—the horse was quickly in pursuit— but all efforts to overtake him were ineffectual, and Stafford ran in the winner easily, going over the mile in 5* minutes. DEATH OF SIR ARTHUR BROOK FAULKNEIL—II is our painful duty to record the death . of Sir A. B. Faulkner, who died at his mansion, Evington, on Friday last, May 23. We shall leave it to his biographers to enumerate his literary productions, and to the critics to consider their merits, while we briefly inscribe his virtues as a man, and the regret which all must feel who knew and respected him. He was formerly a physician of this town, but has long retired from professional duties to pursue his literary tastes, and the pure delights of country life. He had laboured under no severe indisposition, and on the very day of his death had sought relief and amusement in his own garden ; but during the last fortnight his feelings had suffered deeply from the loss of a beloved brother, and now in that short space of time the grave has claimed them both as peaceful tenants of the tomb. If learning ac knowledged him as a votary. morality claimed him for purity, deli cacy, benevolence, and sensibility; and the deep sorrow of his afflicted widow are sacred to his memory as a most devoted husband. —Cheltenham Journal of this day. DEATH FROM CWOKING.--Yesterday 'afternoon, a child named Ann Smith, aged eighteen months, was adm:tted to Gux's Hospital, who it was stated had been choked whilst eating some pudding for Its dinner. Mr. Benson, the house-surgeon, after examination, proceeded to open the trachea in order to afford relief, but before the operation could be perforated the unfortunate child breathed its list. IRELAND. ACADEMICAL EDUCATION—THE CATHOLIC BISHOPS. Duawr, MAY 24.—The proceedings of the Catholic Synod were brought to a close yesterday evening. The following is a copy of the resolutions : " At a meeting of the Prelates of Ireland, convened in the Presbytery House, Marlborough street, Dublin, 233 May, 1845, his Grace the Most Rev. Dr. Murray in the chair, the following resolution was unanimously adopted : " Moved by the Most Rev. Dr. SLATTERY ; seconded by the Most REV. Dr. ISPHAmt, " Resolved—That having maturely considered the Bill now pend ing before Parliament for the extension of Academical FAlucltion in Ireland, and giving credit to her Majesty's Government for their kind and generous intentions, manifested in the endowment of the College of Maynooth, we find ourselves compelled by a sense of duty to declare, that, anxious as we are to extend the advantages of education, we cannot give our approbation to the proposed system, as we deem it dangerous to the faith and morals of the Catholic pupils." " Moved by the Most Rev. Dr. CaoLor, seconded by the Right Rev. Dr. RYAN, " Resolved,—That, therefore, a respectable memorial, suggest ing and soliciting such amendments in the said Bill as may be cal culated to secure the faith and morals of the students, be presented to his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant, praying his Excellency to forward the same to her Majesty's Government, and support its prayer with the weight of his influence.'' The Freeman's Journal says the memorial to the Lord Lieu tenant will demand that a fair proportion of the officers and pro fessors of the academical institutions shall be members of the Catholic Church, and that the appointment to chairs connected with religion or morals shall lie vested, not in the present, but in a board of which the bishops of the province in which the college is situate shall form a constituent part. They will also require that a Catholic chaplain or dean shall be appointed to superintend the religiousjconduct of the pupils, and that his appointment or removal depend on the recommendation of the bishop of the diocese. REPEAL DEMONSTRATION IN MEATH. Shortly after twelve o'clock on Thursday Mr. O'Connell, ac companied by several friends, ascended the Hill of Tara, from Tara Hall, the seat of Mr. Lynch, and was received with the greatest enthusiasm. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman im mediately proceeded to the crown of the hill to the Teaghmore, where a temporary chapel stood, in which the Very Rev. N. M'Evoy celebrated mass, in presence of 50,000 persons. At the completion of the solemn ceremonies, the Rev. Gentleman ad dressed the assembled multitude. Early in the morning Mr. Steele left Tara Hall, and proceeded to Navan, where, after assembling the people around him, and ascending the platform prepared for the meeting, and bearing his olive branch in his hand, he gave a solemn warning, which was listened to with the most profound attention, and responded to with enthusiastic cheering and promises of obedience. Mr. Steele then returned, and was immediately dispatched by Mr. O'Connell to Tara.hill, to repeat there his exhortations to the people. In the town of Navan every residence was decorated with taste— many of them with splendour; and never did triumph more magnificent honour the approach of living man than when from the valleys of the Boyne and the walls of Navan 200,000 men poured out their welcomes to the Liberator of the Irish people. Having passed through the town, Mr. O'Connell ascended the platform, and the proceedings of the day commenced. On the motion of JOSEPIE M'CANN, Esq., Beumont, seconded by Mr. O'CoNNeLL, Nicholas Boylan, Esq., ex J.P., Hiltown-house, was called to the chair. Mr. R. MULLEN, secretary to the meeting, read " The petition of the clergy, gentry, electors, and other inhabitants of the county of Meath, in public meeting assembled, pursuant to requisition, at Navan, on Thursday, the 22d of May," praying for a repeal of the union. Mr. M`CaNN moved the adoption of the petition, and that it be presented to the Commons by Mr. H. Grattan, M.P. The motion, I which was seconded by Mr. JOSEPH BARN WALL, Bloomsbury-house, was carried unanimously. Mr. O'CoNNEtr. came forward to address the meeting, and was received with loud cheers. After some preliminary remarks he said—Now, men of Meath, let me tell you what brought me here. I came here to help you to carry out the repeal of the union.— (Cheers.) Is there any man here against it?—(Cries of " No, no.") Let every man who is for repeal hold up his hand.—[Thousands of hands were lifted up.] I came here to assist you in carrying the repeal, and I came here to tell you why you should carry the re. peal, and why it is disgraceful on your part if you shrink from carrying it.—(Hear, hear.) In the first place, Ireland has as good a right to a Parliament as England. The English are in nothing our superiors—they are in many things our inferiors. My first motive for looking for the repeal is, that, in point of justice, we are entitled to it. My second is, that the Irish Parliament was of eminent utility to Ireland before, and that, therefore, it is reason able to suppose it would be so again; and my third reason is, that it is essential to the best interests of both countries, and vitally essential to the continuance of the connexion between them, that this great measure of justice should be conceded to us. England's adversity is Ireland's opportunity. It was so before—it will be so again. After some observations on the sad condition of the Irish, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman continued—What reliance can be placed upon the people of England ? we shall look for kindness to this country in vain. You lately had an instance of what they really are.—( Hear.) There is the grant to Maynooth.—(Hear.) lam glad they have come to Maynooth at last—it was time for them to do something for the clergy of the people.—(Cheers.) But what passed in England in consequence ? A yell—a hellish yell —was raised from one end of the land to the other. Every species of re ligionist was arrayed in opposition to it—everything that bigotry, prejudice, and fanaticism could suggest was turned against this simple measure ofjustice. The English people emphatically were against us ; it is, therefore, that I appeal to you.—(Hear.) 1 ap. peal to the people of Ireland. I ask you if you will join with me ? (Cries of "We will.'') I will lead you into no scrape—no difficulty —no danger. Commit no crime—extinguish ribbonism—join with me. We will most scrupulously obey all the existing laws. If they pass an Act of Parliament rendering it compulsory to supply fifteen or twenty men from each barony in each county in Ireland, we will pay most implicit obedience to that Act of Parliament— ( Hear, hear.) If they call out the militia, why, the militia will turn out in obedience to commands, but, between you and me, it is not very likely they will take such steps.—(Hear, hear.) Let the Government compete with me, and I am satisfied. There will be some benefit derived from the Bank Bill, and also from the measure with reference to the reduction of duty on glass.— (Hear.) But I want something to be done for the poor man. I say, let the man who is in the possession of land not be put out of possession until he is paid to the last farthing the value of the labour and capital expended by him its improvement. Lord Stanley has actually promised that we shall have such a law.— (Cheers) Do you think he would do that if we were not looking for repeal.—(Cheers.) In the House of Commons they had the audacity to declare that repeal was on the decrease.— (Laugh ter.) A moon.calf of a fellow, who represents Cornwall (I forget his name—it is no matter) told his constituents the other day that the Peel Ministry was a glorious Ministry, a magnificent Ministry—and why, think you ? Because they had put down O'Connell and repeal.—(Laughter.) Did you ever hear anything like that in the whole course of your lives ?—(Laughter.) Put me down I Do I look as if I had been put down ? (Laughter.) If they put me down it was by packing a jury against me, and resort.. ing to every infamous device in order to secure an illegal conviction against me. They succeeded; I was sent to gaol for three months, and at the termination of that period they made the notable dis covery that I ought not to have been sent there at all.—(Laughter.) But it is no matter ; I will forgive them everything if they give me the repeal.— (Hear.) Mr BOYLAN was then moved from the chair, and the usual vote of thanks having been passed him for his conduct therein, the im. mense multitude separated, giving cheers for O'Connell, the Queen, Repeal, &c. THE BANQUET HALL.—A pavilion was erected for the banquet, within thegrounds of the seminary. The Committee, we under stand, issued 820 tickets, besides invitations to guests. At seven o'clock, P.M., Mr. O'Connell, the late state pr:soners, and the other invited guests in town, having previously entered the banquet hall, Nicholas Boylan, Esq., ex-J.P., Hilltown-house, was called on to preside. The usual loyal toasts were drank with the customary honours. The CUAJRMAN proposed " The health of Daniel O'Connell, and the legislative independence of Ireland."—(Vehement applause.) Mr. O'CONNELL rose to respond to the toast, and was received with the most enthusiastic applause. The fate of Ireland is in our hands.—(Hear, hear.) The opposition to the Ministry is as no thing—it is weak, powerless, inefficacious; the Minister in Parlia ment stands supreme—his congregated minions overpower, in point of numbers, those whom they cannot convince by reason, and so str ng an Administration as that of Sir Robert Peel has been un known to modern times in the history of Parliamentary intelli gence.—(Hear, hear.) He is, as a partisan in the House, powerful, resistless ; and yet, when the affairs of Ireland come on, he who can command everything else is found to shrink from the Irish questions, and, with the attitude of supplication, almost ask us, but certainly convey the idea, " What will satisfy you, wild Irishmen ?" —(Loud cheers and laughter.) There may be something strange in the phrase, but there is nothing deviating from the truth in the idea.—(Hear, hear.) The question is not between Whig and Tory—the question is between no parties—but the question is, what will satisfy Ireland ?—(Cheers.) England stands in this predicament—her Minister is in what the Americans, not ♦ery gracefully, but very truly, call "a fix." He wants to know what is to be done for Ireland!—(Hear, hear.) Would he be so kind as to ask me—(Laughter)—l think I can tell him at once.— (Laughter.) I heard a little bird whisper repeal.—(Cheers.) Yes, I tell him nothing short of repeal will do.—(Cheers.) He may try his experiments—he may give us a good bankers' bill—he may take off the glass duties—be may give us a bountiful grant, and an uncontaminated grant, to Maynooth—he may hold out the prospect of sustaining education—but education does not consist merely in literature —no, education should form the mind, elevate the heart, direct the judgment, give to genius its wing, and to ta lent its display—education should confirm morality, give a zest to the finest feelings of humanity, and to religion an impulse.—(Loud cheers.) But if there be an education that tends to corrupt and to poison the source of literature by making the youth subservient—if there be that kind of education that, instead of ennobling the mind, enriches the pocket at the expense of the integrity—if there be that kind of education that vibrates and calumniates—that makes the sycophant and the slave--that gives temptation to the rene gade, and a bribe to the deserter from his conscience and his faith— if there be education of that kind, and the Minister offers it to us, I would not speak of his bounty, but of the curse he would inflict on the country by such an education, and, am proud there are shields —(Loud cheers)—to protect them from its influence. Yes, my Lord (addressing the Bishop of Meath), there are such shields—(Loud cheers)—from off which the poisoned arrows will glide offeticelessly —(Cheers)—shields that will uphold and protect the youth of the nation as if an angel's wing were spread over the land, in whose shadows every virtue will be cultivated, piety made permanent, religion announce its commands, and knowledge and information be made subservient to salvation.--(Cheers.) We are arrived, gentlemen, at a time of which Irishmen ought to be proud. How have we gained—and I will say myself, how have I gained— this victory over Peel ?—(Cheers.) For, remember, I boast of it. --(Cheers.) Let any person who chooses put me down as a vain, empty coxcomb ; and, perhaps, I am dressed something in that style—(Laughter)—but I think that we have defeated Peel.— (Cheers) Take the political history of the last eight or ten years. Every measure that the Whigs proposed for the advantage of Ire land was sure to be controlled, contaminated, and disfigured by the power of the Opposition.—(Hear.) England got disgusted with them; arid why ? Because she suspected them of lean. ing towards Ireland, and of being too kind to the Papists. —(Hear, hear.) She, therefore, revolted against them. There was a dissolution of Parliament, and the Carlton Club expended upwards of one million five hundred thousand pounds in all probability in corrupting the con. stituencies of the smaller boroughs. The Parliament was returned in such a position that the hatred of Ireland and of Catholicity gave the present Minister a majority of over one hun dred Members in the House of Commons—bound together by No- Popery zeal and hatred of Ireland. 'What became of him since ? Is he now the hater of Ireland or the advocate of No-Popery, or exclaiming against the horrible breach by the Catholics of the second commandment ; for he was the man who took a short Ca tholic catechism out of his pocket and accused the Catholics of striking out one of the commandments ? He was the very same man who came into office with all this power, and what is he doing now? No Whig Administration that ever existed could do one half of what he is doing for Ireland.—(Cheers.) We have arrived at that pitch, and I call on you quietly and coolly to consider our "men. What shall we do for our country? " That is the question." There is nothing very poetic or romantic in the advice I am about to give yon, but I trust that it will not be the less acceptable on that account.—(Hear, hear.) I tell you what you shall do —return two repeaters for the county Meath at the next election.—( Loud cries of " We will.") Ireland is the antagonist against which the Ministry is pitted. The Whigs are gone, the Radicals are beneath contempt, the Protes tant Dissenters of England have disgraced themselves for ever. But enough of them; it is delightful that Ireland should have progressed as she has in this great rrovement without violating any law, or infringing the limits of the constitution. I willing l y acknowledge that the reeent conduct of the Ministry betokens a de sire on their part to conciliate Ireland. Minister; of England I we are now in a lofty position ; but I do not want you to crouch befora me. On the contrary, I would throw myself on my knees before you, and beseech of you not to leave Ireland as she is, but if You are not willing, or not able to do something to rem ed y the evils which you admit to have existence, in heaven's name I implore you! do not mock us, but fling aside the office whose duties you feel yourself incompetent to discharge.- -(llear, hear.) however, let the Minister pursue what 'policy he may, this at least is certain. that the triumph of the Irish people is beyond all que'tlell' provided that they continue in the same peaceful and constitu tional course which, under my guidance, they have heretofore Pu rsued. I was delighted to learn to-thy that not a single additional policeman was brought into this part of the country in consequence of this demonstration.—(llear, hear.) At the time of the monster meetings they used to Inundate us with police ; but one is noW deemed enough to preserve the peace. Even one is more that; enough, for we had 100,000 men around us to-day, every man whom was himself a constable.—(Much cheering.) The Rev. Dr. CANTWELL gave the healths of Messrs. Joh n O'Connell, Thomas Steele, John Gray, Th o mas Ray, and the other late State prisoners. —(Loud and longcontinued applause.) Mr. John O'Connell, M.P., Dr. Gray, Mr. Steele, and Mr. 113/' and Mr. M. G. Conway (for Mr. Barrett) spoke to the toast. ten „ - The next toast was—" The healths of Lords Denrnaa, Cot,n ham, and Campbell, and the impartial administration of j ustice.' Several other toasts were drunk and responded to. Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by several guests, retired feW minutes before twelve o'clock, and the company separated sbnillY afterwards.—Abridged front the Freeman's Journal. COURT CIRCULAR.
