James W. Mann, a respectably dressed person, aged 43, was indicted for embezzling several sums of money at Shalford, the property of his employers, in the South- Eastern Railway Company. Mr. Locke prosecuted, and Mr. Robinson defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence of Wm. Cookson that the prisoner had been in the company's employ, as assistant station clerk on the South-Eastern line at Shalford, and latterly some deficiency had taken place in his weekly accounts. An investigation took place, and he was given into custody. The prisoner ought to ac count for every sum of money taken to the chief station clerk, but it was alleged that he had not done so. A great deal of evidence was gone through on behalf of the prosecution, when Mr. Robinson made an elegant appeal to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, contending that h e h ad only been a short time in th e company's employ, and was paid his wages fortnightly. His friends lived some distance from him, and in consequence of not being paid weekly, and being in want of necessaries, he made use of the money with the sole intention of replac ing it. tEvidence to that effect being produced, the jury re urned a verdict of acquittal. ALLEGED ROBBERY BY A BAKER'S MAN. George Grache, a German, was indicted fcr stealinc , six loave s of bread, the property of his master, Mr. Henry Dodson, the extensive baker in Blackman-street, South wark. The prisoner was for some time employed to carry out bread i n a cart, and a few days since he was detected With six extra loaves in his basket, which were not entered. Before he placed them in the cart he was given into custody. Mr. Charnock, who defended the prisoner, said the b read was not, taken a way, and it was the intention of the prisoner to hav e accounted for them with the other bread he, had in his cart. Mr. Dodson underwent a severe cross-examination by Mr. Charncick, and after a`short consultation, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. flrmr.v V 2-014011 Talfourd .. Ethelbert .

We have noticed in the Messenger the attempted depreciation by the Union and the Assemblee Na tionale of the recent manifestation here of some of the citizens of London in favour of peace. The Constitutionnel of yesterday remarks as follows on the articles of those journals : " It is worth while seeing with what zeal and pa triotism the Union and Assemblee Nationale endeavour to disparage the address of the four thousand merchants, bankers, and manufacturers of London ; with what care they recommend to the public not to attach any value to the assurances of peace which it contains ; with what satisfaction they remove from men's minds that motive of confidence and security. ' Four thousand merchants, bankers, and manufacturers of London 1 what is that ?' exclaim these journals, ' why, nothing at all ! And, again, the British Ambassador did not take them to the Tuileries. If the assurances of peace emanated from the English Government, that would be something ; but emanating from the most eminent men in England, the proceeding cannot reassure any one against the chances of collisions and disturbances.' What, on the contrary, reassures us, and will reassure many others, is that the symPathion towards France proceed from the' heart of the English themselves. As long as the first banking and commercial houses of London and England are determined to have peace, any English Ministry may be defied to wage war. If, after the peace of Luneville, four thousand bankers and merchants of London, approved of by all the English merchants, had sent to the First Consul an address similar to that which the Emperor has just received at the Tuileries, the second administration of Pitt would have been im: possible, and the Napoleonian dynasty would not have quitted the French soil. It is not enough for the Union to endeavour to remove from men's minds their motives of confidence and their hopes of peace ; the piety of these children of the children of the Crusaders is of opinion that the good cause authorises a little calumny ; and the Union insinuates, without too many oratorical precau tions, that if the English bankers and merchants are anxious for peace, it is in order to have time to increase their gain. Even supposing that such is their motive, every honest man would prefer their line of conduct to that of the Union. It is in fact better to desire peace, even for the purpose of increasing one's fortune, than to call for war and anarchy with a view to domination. It is not, besides, any harm that circumstances uncover every face, and that the merchants and working-classes learn to understand the esteem and interest which the legitimist journals feel for them. Ah 1 how well the press has undertaken to justify the severe regime of which it is the object ! The Government of the Emperor can, on that point, attend with confidence the judgment of the future ; for, if such is the latitude which this regime still leaves to bad faith, to hatred of order, and to ca lumny, who could ever think of regretting what has been legitimately taken from it ?" The Pays has the following on the proposed re duction of the interest of the 3 per Cent. Consols in England : "The consequences of this measure are not indif ferent as regarded in connection with the money mar ket of France. For some time past English capital, which, under the influence of the imprudent and in correct statements of their journals with regard to the French Government, had deserted French enterprise, has now a tendency to return to it, and to connect itself more and more with the great industrial move ment which is developing itself among us. We shall some day examine the, different affairs in which English capitalists have taken part within the last few months. Only a few days since some large London houses placed themselves at the head of the important railway which is to give life and movement to the central dis tricts of our country. The conversion of the English 3 per Cents. appear to us likely to develope this move ment of English capital towards us on a large scale. Our 41 per Cents., our 3 per Cents., which scarcely ex ceed 80f., our railways, the majority of which have the guarantee of the State at a minimum of 4 per Cent., and which almost all, even at the high price which they have, attained, still give their shareholders more than 41 per cent.—all these united to the every-day increa sing consolidation of the power of the French Govern ment, to the progress of the public riches, to the excel lent state of our finances, to the certainty that the Government is decided on moderating the exaggerated spirit of speculation by keeping within the limits compa tible with the resources of public credit the issue of fresh securities ; and lastly, to the general and legitimate conviction that the Emperor will firmly maintain the peace of the world, and develope in calm all the fruitful germs of modern civilisation—all these considerations combined cannot fail to attract foreign capitalists to our market, where they will find comparatively advanta geous conditions for investment, and all the guarantees to which they have a right to pretend. Is there any reason for feeling alarm at the mass of cash to which this state of things may, cause to flow into France ? Certainly not • on the contrary, there is reason to re joice at it. We have often deplored the excess of specu lation on eventualities, which has nearly compromised the national credit, and caused those sddden fluctuations which are the fatal consequences of gambling at the Bourse. We are happy, therefore, in the hope of seeing the money market increased by, real capitalists and honest speculators, who will snatch public securities from the perilous chances of stockjobbing, and who, in considering them as permanent investments, will increase a feeling of security." An Imperial decree nominates M. Cotton, Sub- Prefect of Uzes, Secretary-General of the Prefec ture of the Rhone for the police department, in the place of M. Menche de Loisne. We read in the Constitutionnel " The formation of a company charged to construct the Central Railway of Italy, which will place Lyons in direct communication with Rome and Venice, and Vienna with Leghorn and Genoa, has been a nnounce d. At the moment at which an English company formed of English and French capitalists has obtained the conces- . sion of the railway from Lyons to Turin, it appears to us useful again to notice the Central Railway of Italy, since one is destined to complete the other. It is known that five Governments, Austria, Rome, Tuscany, and the Duchies of Modena and Parma, have, in order to assure and consolidate the success of this great enterprise, guaranteed it an interest of 5 per cent. during 50 years. Austria has besides taken the engagement to terminate the railway of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom by the time at which the Central line shall be completed. At Reggio, the Central railway will branch off to join the Mantua line in the direction of Germany, and the line of Placentia in the direction of Piedmont and France. The Tuscan Government has likewise undertaken to terminate for, at the latest, the same time the lines of Pistoja to Lucca and Florence. The works will com mence in five different parts in the course of the month of June next, under the superior direction of the ce lebrated engineer Negrelli who constructed the North ern railway in Austria. The whole railway will be 270 kilometres (about 67 French leagues) in extent, of which 200 will pass through the most fertile and most populous part of Italy, and will unite six prin cipal towns. If we consider that the Central Railway of Italy, passing along the valleys of the Arno, the Po, and the Tiber, will not only unite the Mediterranean to the Adriatic, but the Mediterranean to the Baltic, • we shall easily conceive that it will become one of the vital arteries of the traffic of Europe. The capital amounts to 75,000,000 fr., and is divided into 75,000 shares of I,ooof. each. 40,000,000 shares are only to be issued. These shares will produce an interest of 5 per cent. until the completion of the works. The other 35,000 shares have been placed in the hands of an international corn mission, c oo o o m b p o o n s d e s d of delegates of the said five govern ments,ntogriie:l ta t , o : vo b irin e ilo3 c ll o: a3s v o e converted d b into e gv given oinnd payment b ea r i n gal/ par rr to cent. n a t n . the cha beingr ge destined e t s o t n e d t o construct be the Central off in fifty The years, by means of the proceeds of 1 per cent. realised cent.b y the p c a o i d m paanndy fr om the difference between the 4 per that at the expiration per cent. guaranteed, it follows be reduced to 40,000 of fifty years, the capital will originai. ooof. ; so that the holders f a shares tdh o will concession, receive interestdui i ng of 91 per cent., and of the 40,000 l a f lee tei i in fh the last thirty y ears the half of the reserved to the Railway important 0 ; minimum of the fi cl v e e ar go p y r e o rn fi n ts e — nt t s h profits—the h o i t c h h e other interest of 5 per cent. If in spite advantages, the shares of the Central Bourse of Italy for funds less nave not yet risen to high prices at th e it is owing to different causes which deserv e of b P e ar k s ' .. plained. As the greater part of the shares of Cen tral Railway of Italy have been taken in Germany Italy, the enterprise has been but little known, : 1 Y and appreciated in France. Besides, the first call having been confined to 50f. for a I,ooof. share, it might have been feared that the enterprise was not serious, be cause it was known that the works of the line were paid not by calls from the shareholders, but with Four per Cent. Bonds. In the second place, the shares of I,ooof. do not facilitate transactions so much as those of 500 f., which is the amount generally adopted on that account by most of the new commercial enterprises. But the statutes of the company of the Central Railway allow shares of 500 f. to be issued as soon as the succes sive payment of calls should have attained that amount. The payment of the second deposit, which is to take Place on the 15th of this month at Paris, for shares placed in France, appears to hav e dissipated all appre hensions as to the reality and solidity of the'enterprise. It is said that important purchases have been made for the account of English shareholders." The legislatiVe body me . t yesterday, but the pro ceedings were without importance. After some applications for leave of absence had been accorded, the bill concerning the definitive settlement of the budget of J 850 was brought forward for discussion. The articles fixing the final deficit of the receipts, as compared with the expenses, at 41,014,767 f., 'which sum is for the present to be carried to the chara 6 e of the floating debt, were all agreed to without remark, and the bill adopted unanimously by 206 votes. The President then recommended the divers committees to hasten on their labobrs, and present their reports as soon as possible tolthe Assembly. The sitting then terminated. Several arrests were affected on Saturda4 at Paris. The persons taking up are almost exclu sively of the working classes, and principally fl-om amongst those living in the neighbourhood of !the Arts et Métiers. They are suspected of being. in correspondence with the refugees of London. Some copies of a revolutionary manifesto were found at the lodgings of some of them. The Emperor has been suffering for some days with a sort of boil which had taken up its position on the inner part of the ham. This infliction caused great pain, and local applications did ,but little to alleviate the evil. Yesterday his medical at tendants considered it advisable to lance the sviell ing, and immediately on this being done he ex perienced great relief. It was this indisposition of the Emperor which caused the postponement of the ceremony of presenting the cardinal's hat on Sun day in the chapel of the Tuileries. At the Bourse yesterday the market for Rentes was buoyant, and an advance established on Satur day's quotations. At the conclusion of business prices were firm, and had an upward tendency. For cash, the Three per Cents. advanced 45c., and for the Account 35c. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. for cash rose 30c., and for the Account 10c. Bank Stock was dull, and declined sf. Prices closed as follows :—For cash : Three per Cents., 83f. 75c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 103 f. 85c. ; for the Account, Three per Cents., 80f. 85c. Four and-a-Half per Cents., 103 f. 85c. Bank Stock, 2,735 f. In the Railway Share Market a good business was transacted, at an advance on the last quotations in the principal lines, and prices closed firmly. • 7 , "T. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 12, 1853 SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette, of the 6th, contains several nominations of governors of provinces. In the Senate on that day, after some business of no im portance had been disposed of in a secret sitting, the ,President proposed an- adjournment for two days, but General. Concha recommended that a public sitting should be held as usual, in order to discuss a motion relative to railways. This was agreed to, though it was known that the Govern ment intended to present a bill on the subject. In the Chamber of Deputies nothing of importance occurred up to post hour. The following are the prices of Stocks :—Three per Cents., 431 ; ditto Deferred, 24 7-16 ; Re deemable Debt, first class, 11; ditto second class, 5f ; Coupon Certificates, 4, sellers. Exchange on London, 51 20. BELGIUM. The ceremony of the installation of the Duke de Brabant, Prince Royal, as member of the Belgian Senate, took place at Brussels on Saturday. The hour fixed was noon, but long before that time the tribunes were filled by persons who had been provided with tickets. The interior of the hallwas decorated with the national colours, and fitted up with the great est taste for the occasion. The tribune reserved for the members of the Chamber of Representatives was completely filled, as were those set apart for the wives and daughters of the senators. The minis ters of all the foreign powers were present. At a few minutes after twelve, the senators, in full cos tume, having all taken their seats, the Prince de Ligne, the president, opened the sitting. After the names had been called over, the ministers in full dress, and wearing their several orders, entered the salle.- At about one, the Count de Flanders, the second son of the King, and his sister, the Princess Charlotte, entered the royal tribune, and in a few minutes after the Prince, his brother, ar rived, amidst the usual salutes from the military assembled near the place,' and the cries of " Vive le Roi " from the people. The Duke de Brabant, on entering the assembly, bowed in the most grace ful manner to all. He was dressed in the costume of a senator. He is tall for his age, for although only 18, he has the appearance of being 22. Ills countenance bears a strong resemblance the late Queen, his mother. After he had taken his seat in a fauteuil prepared for him in the centre of the hall, opposite the president, Prince de Ligne, read the article of the Constitution which fixes the age at which the princes of the blood ma y enter the Senate. He then m a concise and suit table speech reminded the future successor of Leo pold I. of the patriotic services and enlightened conduct of that monarch, " the faithful observer of sworn faith." He pointed out the solemnity of the day as the pledge of a happy future for the country, and then alluding to the virtues of the beloved and much regretted Queen, he concluded by saying, ' CCome forward, Prince, and swear to defend our institutions. From on high your sainted mother sees you, and here below Belgium listens to you." The Duke de Brabant made a very suitable reply, in which he congratulated himself on having entered on his parliamentary life, where he might be able to acquire experience in public affairs, and expressed himself in the strongest terms on the independence and future welfare of the country. His speech was hailed with unanimous marks of applause. The Prince afterwards took the oath to observe the Constitu tion; and the President declared him to be a mem ber of the Senate. The Duke de Brabant then left the Hall, accompanied by the ministers, and on his departure was hailed with loud cries of " Vive le Roi," as on his entrance. ITALY. A telegraphic dispatch from Turin—" At three o'clock this afternoon, the Duke de Guiche,. the new French Minister, presented his letters of cre dence to his Majesty." The Italia newspaper was seized at Genoa, on the 4th, on a charge of excitement to the hatred of the laws of the State. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of the 7th, states, from Palermo, that a large number of arrests among all classes of persons were effected in that city between the 22d and 27th ult. Some of the persons arrested were immediately sent off to the citadel of Messina. These arrests are attributed to the discovery of large quantities of arms con cealed in various parts of the country since 1849. A• letter from Rome, of the 31st ult., in, the Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, announces that the loan contracted by the Roman Government with Messrs. Rothschild is for a nominal amount of 8 millions of seudi (44,450,000 fr.), at 4 per cent in terest, and at the price of 70. This sum is to re place the paper money in circulation. By a decree of. the 3d the Grand Duke of Tuscany has named the Chevalier Louis Bargagli to the post of Charge d'Affaires at Naples. M. Bargagli has long exercised the functions of Secretary of the Tuscan Legation at Paris, to the general satisfaction of the Tuscan residents there. GERMANY. A letter from Vienna, in the Prussian Gazette, -- says :" The arrival of Cardinal Prince Alfieri, at Trieste has been announced, but the real object of his mission is not known. The Emperor is to leave this place in a few days for Trieste and Venice. His Majesty will also visit Verona, where there will be a concentration of the troops. Thence he will proceed to lAchl, where he intends residing some time. The Archduchess Sophia, and part of the Court, will also proceed to Ischl in the month of June. The King and Queen of Prussia and the Queen of Saxony are also expected there about the same time. Count O'Donnell' has received from the King of Prussia the cross of the Order of Hohen zollern, which, up to the present time, was never conferred on any foreigner. A letter from Vienna of the 6th states that the envoy who had been dispatched from Constanti nople with an autograph letter to the Emperor had arrived. A letter from Vienna of the 7th states that two men, a dealer in provisions and a workman, have been arrested on a charge of having been concerned in the murder of the Austrian Minister of War, General Latour, in 1848. The Times of Berlin of the 9th says it would be difficult to form an idea of the quantity of arms and ammunition belonging to the Government, and of which possession had been improperly obtained, that is found every morning in the streets, having been got rid of during the night from fear of detec tion. The same journal states that M. Hotdheim, the editor of the Gazette of the Primary Electors, who was arrested lately ? has been sentenced to two months' imprisonment. A letter from Rostock (Mecklenburg-Schwerin) states that M. Schwartz, the merchant who had been arrested there in consequence of a communi cation from Berlin, has been transferred to Bulzow. Several democrats of Rostock, and among them M.W igaggeernst,s were aman of great popularity, having re ceived privat e information that some Prussian police en A work by on their way to Rostock, have fled r to avoid other arrest. publications have been M. Besel er on the pamphlet of M. Gm u seized by the polic e in different parts of Bavaria and Saxony. • The Second Chamber o f th e St a t es o f Prussia, in its sitting of the Bth, adopted the report of ; the committee in favour of a tax on railroad property. The Sultan has given to the King of Prussia a piece of ground at Pera to be formed into a ceme tery. M. de Wildenbruch, Prusiian Minister at Constantinople, through whose exertions this con cession has been obtained, has received from his Sovereign the decoration of the Rad Eagle. The Second Chamber has adopted the bill. as proposed by Government, for impising a tax upon the net receipts of railways. With the usual proneness to divide, categorise, and complicate; the tax is to be divided into classes, according to the per-tentage return of capital employed, in lieu of being reduced to one impost or per-tentage upon the net produce, before payment of dividends or apportioning of reserves. The categories vary from one-fortieth to one-tenth and two-tenths. The vast majority of lines can well support a tax, but it would have been infinitely more advantageous to all parties had the mode of ,imposition been uni form and simple. _ His Majesty, accompanied by the royal princes and a numerous staff, inspected the whole of the infantry of the garrison in parade order yesterday morning on the Linden. Thirteen battalions, making about 6,500 men, were present. In the afternoon their Majesties gave the military banquet usual on such occasions, which includes captains of companies, as well as mounted officers. Travellers ; lovers of the arts, and artists are justly desirous to visit Munich ; the latter class are espe cially addicted to wearing fantastic dresses. Nay, it is generally remarked that eccentricity of attire is precisely in an inverse ratio with artistic merits, and not unfrequently of respectability. This being the cue, it may be as well to translate, by way of warning, the following police order, published by the Munich authorities : " Wearing of symbols (abzeichen), garments, hats, or caps, of unusual or peculiar form, is forbidden by a Ministerial decree of April, 1815. As repeated infrac tions of this order have recently occurred, all persons are hereby reminded of that decree, and warned that in case of contravention they will subject themselves to serious police intervention." So, gentlemen, if you come this way, leave your wide-awakes, squashes, &c., at home, and, unless ye be of the olive-branch sect, dress like decent Christians. TURKEY. The Russian General Ogareff, who has received permission from the government to visit the great naval and military establishments, arrived on the 7th at St. Etienne in order to inspect the manu factory of arms at that place. All the accounts from Constantinople to the 25th ult., which have been brought by the Tan crede to Marseilles, concur in stating that great mystery continued to hang over the mission of Prince Menschikoff. He had, however, taken no new step of importance ; and, according to the in formation of the Journal des Debats, ," the sole advantage which he seems thus far disposed to de rive from his position is that of seeing the Sultan as often as he may wish, without being obliged to solicit an audience through the Divan—a privilege which the ambassador of England has heretofore alone enjoyed." It was believed by some persons that the prince was waiting for the arrival of the English ambassador, in order to show the good understanding which exists between the cabinets of London and St. Petersburg. According to others his intention was, at the moment it should appear opportune, to make some extra ordinary demand—as for example for the cession of a portion of territory towards Batoumi, in order to render.:. more regular the Russian frontier. The princees;he had was paying so attention raeofhis t o o ffi t ee he rs ch th ief e s om of p a lim ll par ties Pacha and Rim Pacha — saying to one sent that he considered him an honest adversary of Russia, to the other that it would afford him plea sure to see him resume the administration of affairs. The Constitutionnel states that its Constantinople letters represent that he had attempted to gain a decision favourable to the Greeks on the question of the Holy Places, but that the Sultan and Divan had refused to treat on it anew in the absence of the French ambassador. But the same journal says that it has learned from another source that the present position of the Eastern question is this: —" Prince Menschikoff is not instructed to demand either a general protectorship of the Greek church, or an alliance offensive and defensive between the Porte and Russia, but solely to tre a t on the question of the oly Places. Russia pretends that the last firmans 'accorded to the Latins con tain certain enactments contrary to the inter& of the Greek Christians, regulated by treaties which Turkey some time 'ago entered into with her. She consequently demands that these concessions shall be examined and discussed, and become the subject of a new negotiation. The Porte is said to have endeavoured to get out of the affair by saying that what took place with respect to the Holy Places was indifferent to her, and by demanding of Russia and France to come to an understanding between themselves on the subject. But those powers separately replied that the question did not rest between them, and that it was only with the Porte they would or could treat. The Porte there upon resolved to carry -on the negotiations very slowly, in order to afllord time to the Ambassador of France, and even to the Ambassador of Austria, to arrive at Constantinople. Reduced," continues the Constitutionnel, " to the examination of some of the provisions in the last firmans accorded to the, Latins, as regards their effect on certain firmans previously granted to the Greeks, the diplomatic conference loses a great deal of the importance originally ascribed to. it." Vice-Admiral Corniloff, and the other personages who accompanied Prince Menschikoff,:without forming part of his embassy, were to leave on the 28th ult. - Some of them had made a £rip in the Archipelago, and even to Athens; on board the _Russian steamer Bessarabia. The project for the creation of a new Bank had been adopted by the Divan, but had not been submitted to the Sultan. The delay was caused by the Ministers who are favourable to the project, not wishing to mention in their report to his Majesty the motives of the opposition of their colleagues who' are unfavourable to it ; whereas the latter, Achmet-Fethi, Namik-Pacha, Arif-Pacha, Tazim Bey, and Hussein-Bey insist on their reasons being stated. The customs and tithes of the Government had been farmed out for be tween 30 and 40 per cent. more than in the pre ceding year ; and it was believed that this increase would prevent a deficit in the budget. As to other financial difficulties it was hoped that they would be got rid of by the aid of the new Bank. Sarim Pacha, Governor of Trebisonde, had left for his destination. It was said that England refuses to recognise the right of the Porte to interdict the navigation of the Bosphorus to foreign steamers, and has declared to Rifaat Pacha, through Colonel Rose, that as long as any foreign steamers shall navigate it she will not withdraw hers. The English steam frigate Tiger, arrived from Malta on the 24th to occupy the station of the Bosphorus. On the 25th, being Good Friday, the foreign ships were put in mourning, - and the flags were hoisted half-mast high. The French station ship the Chaptal fired guns every half hour. Accounts had Keen received from the Caucasus, which represented that Chiamil Bey had obtained more advantages over the Russians. St. St. St. St. 5 St. 20 St. 15 THE HARP UNION.

The Grand National Fantasia, also composed by Oberthitr, is in every resp ect worthy of its title, th e sub jects being developed with a master hand, so as to dis play the full resources of the delightful instrument for which it is especially written. An introduction of a most brilliant characte r is followed by th e i nsp i r i ng Dhonuil " March of tile men of Harlech, and an intezmezzo gra dually leads to " The L ast Rose of Summer"' in which some charming effects are introduced, more p articularl y in the enharmonic combinations produced by th e Glis sando, facilitya, n j d o o h , n. t o A w Tn h hd i ne c r h js notyn ra improvedhneuny "Pibroch'jo,a r oimost .modern ost ih Dhu," and judiciously arp gives ever y dove tailed, and the climax of this sparkling work terminates with the National A n them, " God Save the Queen."

ADULT ORPHAN INSTITUTION, REGENT'S-PARK.—Yes- terday afternoon a special general meeting of the friends and subscribers to this institution was held in the board room of the charity, Regent's-park, for the purpose of electing five inmates into the asylum, and upon other business—Vice-Admiral Bowles in the chair. The Rev. John Lawrell having been elected a member of the ma naging committee, and Mrs. Gunning Sutton a member of the ladies' committee, it was announced that no elec tion would take place, the number of candidates for ad mission not exceeding the number of vacancies. The annual report showed the total receipts from all sources during the past year (including a balance in hand of 2381. 14s. 3d.) to have amounted to 2,1721. 14s. 2d., and after all demands had been met there was left a balance in the hands of the treasurer of 2201. 6s. 7d. A resolu tion having been pawed for allowing more than one member of the same family to be in the school at the same time, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairthan, and the meeting separated. CONSERVATIVE LAND SOClETY.—Yesterday a general meeting of the members of this society was held at the Freemasons' Tave.m. Lord Ranelagh who pre sided, stated that about 3,500 sbtres had been issued, representing a capital of 150,0001. ; of which nearly 20,000/. had already been paid. They had a reserve fund of 8,0001., without touching the pockets of the shareholders. It would be proposed, in revising the rules, to abolish fines, and to make other provisions for the benefit of the members. During the time the society had been in existence, the whole amount of fines paid only reached the sum of 21. 98.—a circumstance which showed with what alacrity and punctuality the periodical subscriptions had been paid up. The amSnded rules having been agreed to, Lord Ranelagh, the Hon. Colonel Lowther, M.P., Alderman Thompson, M.P., and Mr. J. Cobbold, M.P., were elected trustees of the society ; and the names of the following gentlemen were added to the executive committee :—Mr. T. Booker, M.P. the Hon. Captain Duncombe, M.P., Mr. Cobbold, M.P., Mr. Huddleston, Mr. Holmes, and Mr. H. B. Ray. A ballot for 42 rights of choice on the society's estates closed the proceedings.

Strange to relate, numerous burials have taken place, and the parishioners are anxiously looking for the finaf closing of the place. There is a rumour that the time is to be extended, but it is to be hoped that the anxiety of the inhabitants will prevent the government from granting any extension, and that Monday will be last day for interments.

SPORTIAG NOTES.--No. CCCCX. _ - The Craven Meeting opened under favourable auspices, the weather being fine and the sport unusually abundant. The purple of Mr. Greville on the back of Nat was the first colour seen in the ascendant ; Ariosto cutting out all the work for the Craven Stakes, and whining with considerable ease by a short length ; the Duke of Bed ford's Faversham obtaining second place, Comore a bad third, and Tonic and The Nut stalled off. Fever sham was started to obtain_ a line for his stable com panion Sittingbourne, and very little have they gained by it. The winner was claimed by the Duke of Rutland for the selling price, 600 sovs., and remains at New market. The Handicap Sweepstakes of 20 sovs. was all one way, the winner, Coleraine, making all the running, and winning by a head from the Cuckoo filly. Glenluce was overweighted, and Cock Pheasant was beaten almost as soon as he started. It was said some time' since that Pharold could concede lumps of weight to Coleraine and beat her ; if so, his chance, when up to the mark, must be a tolerably good one for most events. Nutshell, once more upon his legs, carried the blue and white stripe home in a canter for the 25 sovs. Han dicap Stakes, Hesperus in vain attempting to give him twelve pounds. The winner was backed for little or nothing in the ring, while Hesperus was an immense "pot 'at2to 1. Sir Rowland Trenchard and Guy Mannering were a moderato third and fourth, but De ceitful's speed seems to have vanished, " for he couldn't come anigh," as Bland would say. Nathan, with high odds betted on him, won hia race cleverly ; as did Hybla the Riddlesworth ; the high bred Constantine, in the spin for the latter, travelling so gin gerly, that it was about even betting he broke down. The result of the 100 sovs. Sweepstakes electrified the ring ; Lord Exeter's Filbert, with the odds of Bto 1 on him, having tumbled to William Rufus, who, as the race ybrAopougshttate the, who h y o ,s was was run, won, as a matter of course, by som e h a lf d ozen racing ci lt n e g lengths or more. It was a dreadful dow n f a ll f or many. n very The favourably to a conclusion. Handicap Plate, at 68 twon7lb,, So far as the betting was concerned, Pharos was the great gun of the Derby market , and Ethelbert, Content ment, and Llanforda had • pal race to-day. primary notice for the princi ‘ The starting of Estrella for th the 100 sovs. S weeps t a k es, D.M., not being quite certain, Ph , Phrygia, may, pe r h a p s , have it all t o herself, and walk over for the forf e it s . Three ran for the Riddlesw rth o , Glenavon (Nat), Dio media (Pettit), and Ph • rygia (Norman). Five of the races for to-morrow do not close and name until six o'clock this evening. The Sweepstakes of 100 sovs. each, D.M. I pre sume, be a w a lk over f or Pharos, although Lord ' Glasgow may start his Doublethong, or Lord Exeter his Nut pecker, as there is nothing saved by not starting ; but neither can have the shadow of a chance with the Good wood horse, who, considering what he has done in pri vate lately, ought to be first favourite for the great event at Epsom, which I have no doubt he will be ere long. With the exception of Nutgall, and Peach also I be lieve, the remainder of the entries for the 100 Sovs. Stakes for fillies will go to the post ; and I think it very probable that Lord Exeter's NOIBETTE will be first, An tonina and Miss Delamere in the next two places, Lord Glasgow's Physalis filly acting as whipper-in. The Column Stakes, R. M., will, I fancy, be contested by Defiance, Veteran, Diomedia, one of Lord Exeter's, and perhaps Jack the Giant Killer and Estrella. There can be little doubt about naming the conqueror in this race—DEFiaNcE, bar accidents, must win. The Match between Doubletlong and Two . Strings will fall to the lot of the former. The only forfeits that have been paid as yet for the Port Stakes are Red Hind and Augur, to which it seems likely Orelio and Scarecrow wilt be added, and that the field will be composed of Homebrewed, Adine, Filius, and King of Trumps.
