'p a:- • se• the existing rights in both cases were to be preserved on the same condition—nam e ly, res id ence . The Earl of RODEN denied that he was a monopolist either of Dundalk or of Protestantism ; he had been will ing to give up his peculiar interest in Dundalk, and there were many Noble Lords who shared with him a zealous wish to protect the Protestants of Ireland ; and believing as he did, that Protestantism was, and always had been since the revolution, the nucleus of liberty in Ireland, he wo uld, notwithstanding the sneers and attacks of the Noble and Learned Lord, persevere in the course in which he was then proceeding. With respect to Captain Gordon, lie stated that his constituency emisisto of a provost and bur gesses, and that Irh Was returned by their unanimous " n 'ent ; it was untrue, therefore, that he was odious to hit constituency ; and he (Lord Roden) thought that, fr om Captain Gordon's knowledge of the Irish people and their wants, there could be no better Member of Pala meat for any Irish constituency. Lord CLIFFORD observed, that g great deal of time had heeia ikiisten by the -9e of the words Protestant Hie amendment was then negatived, and the clause agreed to. • On the clause relating to the qualification of freemen in tow n ,, The Duke of WELLINGTON Moved that the whole chose be omitt e d; f or the pu rpose of substituting the use of tt siiuilar nature in the English Bill. His object '44;31,0- preserve un i mpa i re d t h e rights of freemen, whether acquired by birth, servitude, or marriage. Lord MELBOURNE said, that there was a great dif ference between the modes in which those rights were con ferred in England and Ireland. In the latter they were conferred exclusively for corporation or election purposes, and were given accordingly to a much lower class of per sons. It was, therefore, necessary to make a distinction in the Acts; but the object of Government was not, he could state, to affect any respectable class of freemen. The amendment was then withdrawn. and the clause agreed to. Several other clauses were agreed to without amendment. The remainder of the clauses were agreed to, as were the schedules, with some verbal amendments. The House then resumed ; the report to be received this day. Their Lordships then adjourned at Twelve o'clock to Ten o'clock this day. COURT CIRCULAR.

MEETING OF THE GROWERS of FRUIT AND VEGETABLES. In consequence of a notion prevailing very extensively that the consumption of fruit and vegetables was condu cive to the cholera mortrus, the trade of the growers of those (hitherto con s id ere d) p r i me necessaries of life had allen off to such a degree that many even of the most opu lent of that class lost such an enormous sum weekly that they found it necessary to attempt the adoption of some means to remove the delusion that existed upon the subject, A meeting was accordingly convened at the Rainbow tavern, King-street, Covent garden, on Tuesday, and C. C alvert, E. q . M.P . f or t h e borough of Southwark, was in the Chair. The meeting was attended by a very crowded assemblage of the principal fruit and vegetable growers around London. T -• 011 . CHAIRMAN stated th e o bj ect o f t h e meet i ng, whichhe th ve Tr la to p resent a memorial to the Central Board of Heal, prayin g a contradiction officially (if istent with the opinions entertained by the members cons of the Boa rd) of the notion so widely spread to the effect above mentioned. The Chairman in a good-humoured strain, descanted upon the absurdity of abstaining from using "me of the most beneficial gifts of the Almighty, and stron g l y recommended an i mme di ate application to the Board of Health upon the subject, requesting them to con sider seriously of the matter, and give an opinion. He (Mr. Calvert) for one had not altered his diet. He took vegetables an d fruit as ' freely as ever, b ut h e took care to have them good. ‘• And Gentlemen," said he, " I think you may perceive I don't appear much the worse for it." A. laugh.) Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and it was agreed upon to present a memorial to the Central Board of Health, which was immediately drawn up ; and it was stated in this document, that upwards of one thou sand persons (labourers of both sexes) were employed by about twenty individuals, growers near the metropolis, that number forming but a small proportion of those actually engaged in the same pursuits, who had principally subsis. ted upon fruit and vegetable diet, and who were, neverthe less, free from the prevalent disease. Subsequently (yesterday morning) the Gentlemen com posing the deputation received a written communication from Dr. William Maclean, the Secretary to the Central Board of Health, stating that the moderate use of fruit and vegetables was not at all to be considered as likely to be injurious to health, nor tending to produce cholera. Yesterday evening another meeting took place at the Rainbow, to receive the report of the deputation, Mr. WtLMov in the chair, when thanks were voted to the partie s who had taken an active share in the proceedings, and the meeting broke up.

DUCKETT, 51ORLAND, AND CD'S BANKRUPTCY. A meeting of the creditors under the fist of bank ruptcy awarded against this banking firm was held before Mr. Commissioner EVANS, for the further proof of debts, and the declaration of dividends on the joint and separate estates. Among the debts proved since the last meeting, were the following —viz. On behalf of the Royal Institution, 152/. 7s ; th e Li terary U n i on Cl u b, 2,3991. ; the Metropolitan Bread Company. 4,133/. 6s. 9d.; the Society for bettering the condition of the Poor, 118/. 6.5. Rd, the West London A- socia tion, 9991.75. 8d• &c. A claim was put in for about 2,0001. for furniture supplied to Sir F. Bernard. 2.1 r. BRIGGS, the solicitor to the estate, called the attention of the Commissioner to this charge. lie had been informed that Sir F. Bernard had not ex pected the bill would have amounted to one half this sum. The creditor, however, had offered to submit his charges to any respectable tradesman and to abide the result. The COMMISSIONER said, the least that could be done w•as that five per Cent. should be taken off the bill. Mr. Alnut, the creditor, said he could not consent to any such reduction. He was a considerable cre ditor under the joint estate. The claim was admitted. Mr. BRIGGS, on a claim being put in for saddlery supplied to young Mr. Duckett, said the assignees had, in consequence of the debts of this young man being so large, desired him (Mr. B.) to call the attention of the Commissioner to the subject. The COMIISSIONER a , ked who the goods had been ordered by ; and on being informed that they were ordered by Sir G. Duckett, directed the claim to be admitted. Mr. GOLDSMID, the official assignee, then pro ceeded to make out the accounts, preparatory to the declination of a dividend out of the assets in hand. This morning it was resolved todeeare a d:vidend of 20s. in the pound on the separate estate of Sir G. Duckett; 20s. in the pound on the estate of Sir F. Bernard; a first dividend of 6s. Bd. in the pound on the estate of Mr. Morland ; and 4s. 4d. in the pound on the general estate of the bankrupts. The declaration► of a dividend within the shortest period allowed by law on the several and joint estates of this banking establishment was the suhject of much conversation and congratulation among the creditors; and the new system, as regards the ad ministration of the bankrupt laws, it was remarked, bore no comparison with the cold one, when divi dends were rarely or ever made, on such an extensive bankrupt estate, until the lapse of at least twelve or fifteen months after the issuing of the Commission. It is expected that on those estates in which the smaller dividends were declared to-day, the credi tors will ultimately recover the whole of the r claims at Berlin. We learn upon good Authority that the re craitinz in Russia meets with mmy difficulties. This ac counts for the incorporation of Polish soldiers with Ru.sian regiments, a measure which the Government would not have bad recourse to without some urgent motives.

FRANKFORT, JULY 20.—Extract from the Prot, col of the 26th sitting of the German Diet, July 19, 1832, sec tion 246, relative to the abuse of the press, and especially to the journals Der Freysinnipe and Der Wachter am Rhein (the Liberal and the Sentinel of the Rkine,) published in the Grand Duchy of Baden. " Resolution 1. The above two journals are suppressed and prohibited in all the German States, and all continua tion of them forbidden by the Diet, by virtue of the au thority given to it by the resolutions of the 20th of Sept., 1819, and the 16th of August, 1821. "2. The Government of Baden is requested, through its Ambassador, immediately to carry this resolution into effect, and to give notice of it to the Diet. " 3. The declared editors of these papers are not allowed to edit any similar journals in any State of the Confedera tion for five years from the date of the present resolution. " 4. All the Governments are invited to announce and to execute this resolution, and to give notice of their hav ing so done within four weeks. Lastly, ~" 5. The Government of Baden, with reference to the resolution of the 10th of May this year, is called upon to communicate the information promised in the 18th sitting of this year on the 24th of May, respecting the real authors of the now suppressed journal, the Sentinel, within fourteen days ; and also to give similar information with respect to the real editor of the Liberal." WEISBADEN, JULY 14.—The sixteen members of the opposition in the Chamber of the Duchy of Nassau have been summoned before the Tribunals to give an account of their retreat from the Chamber after public .tion of their printe►i. declarations. Though summoned on the same day and hour, they all agreed in saying they owed no account to any tribunal of their conduct as deputies. However, seven of the sixteen are condemned to two years' imprison ment. They will doubtless appeal. Should the sentence he confirmed, many of them will quit the Duchy of Nassau.

The following is the programme of the festivities on the celebration of the approaching anniversary of the revolu tion of July :--On Friday, at eleven o'clock, the 16 daughters of combatants, who are to receive the dowry of 3,000 francs each, granted by the city of Paris, will pro ceed with their intended husbands to the Hotel tie Ville, where their marriage contracts will be signed and witnessed by the Prefect of the Seine and the Mayors of the diffe rent arrondissements of Paris, and for the Banlieue by the Prefect, the Sub-Prefects, and the Colonels of the Na tional Guards of the respective places. On Saturday, in the morning, the civil ceremony of the marriages will be performed a t t h e respective mayories, from whence each of the 12 Mayors, accompanied by their Deputies, wear ing their scarfs of office, will conduct the several couples to the respective parish churches of the brides, where the nuptial benediction will be pronounced from th e high altar, and the same ceremonies will be observed for the Banlieue. At each of the theatres on Sunday, which will be opet ed at three o'clock to the public, gratis, two boxes will be reserved expressly for the new-married couples, their families, and friends. On Monday the dowry w ill be paid to the husbands at the Hotel de Ville. On Friday there will be a distribution of provisions in each arrondissement to indigent families. On Saturday all the usual public amusements will take place in the ChaChamps Elysees, consisting of two theatr e s, May-poles for climb ing, with the accustomed prizes for the successful adven turers, and orchestras fur dancing, which will be kept up till ten o'clo c k a t n i g ht. '1 here will also be similar enter tainments at the Barriere du Trone. At two o'clock in the afternoon there will be various horse races in the Champ de Mars, and between the heats a balloon will ascend from the centre of the ground. There will also be foot races by children, men, and soldiers. Between the Pont de la Concorde and the Pont R o y a l th ere will be jousts on the river for two prizes, one of 3001. and another of 2001. In the evening, the whole of the Champs Ely sees, the Gardens of the Tuilieries, and the great square of the Barriere du Trone, will be illuminated. On Sunday, the King will review the National Guards, and troops form ing the garrison of Paris, which, as last year, will form one continued line from the Barriere du Trone to that of the Etoile, at the top of the Champs Elytees. In the evening, there will be grand displays of fire-works from the Pont de la Concorde, and at the Barriere du Trone. The dome of the Pantheon and all the public buildings will be illuminated. It is reported at Toulon, that the Marengo ship of the line, now fitting out, is destined to convey Donna Maria to Lisbon as soon as the arrival of Don Pedro in that ca pital is offici .11y announced. The !tlemoriul Bardelnis states...." Letters from Ma drid it.form us that there exists a considerable dissidence in opinion in the Spanish Ministry ; the Count de l'Alcu dia, President of the Council, wishes to return to the ultratnontane system, in which scheme he is seconded by the Ambassador of Russia. M. Ballasteros, on the con trary, is inclined to adopt the policy of the English Cabi net. One of them must necessarily withdraw, accordi ng to the system that may be adopted. The Count d e l'Alcudi a h as presented to the Council different ridiculous projects, which, according to him, must be adopted itn. mediately, to secure the tranquillity and prosperity of th e country." The Courrier de la Moselle states, that the Grand Duke of Baden and the King of Bavaria are not likely to ratify the adhesion of their Plenipotentiaries to the reso lutions of the Frankfort Diet. The Newremburg Correspondent of the 10th inst. has intelligence from Vienna, to July 14, stating that the health of the Duke of Reichstadt continues to improve, which i s c hi efly ascribed to the use of nurse ' s m i lk. The same p aper also contains the following from Posen, dated July 10:_" The Minister of the Interior at Ber lin has been invited by the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh to have all passports delivered to Prussian subjects, who wished to go to Poland, signed by the Russian embassy LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 27, 1832. The French Papers of Wednesday, with those dated yesterday, have been received. They an nounce one fact which is highly important to the commercial interests of this country,—the final settlement of the long delayed plan for facilitating a daily communication between both countries. The wonder is, that an arrangement of such ob vious utility should have been so long put off. At present the Estafette runs only four, days to the manifest inconvenience of both countries. It is not stated when the new arrangement comes into operation, but we should fancy, from the Duke of RICHMOND'S anxiety to benefit the public, (and to his Grace they are mainly in debted for this improvement,) that the earliest opportunity will be embraced. Nothing contri butes so much to the promotion of good feeling between two rival countries, as the interchange of mutual civility by daily communication. There is but one thing, however, wanting to give this measure full effect, and that is, the abolition or at least modification of the present absurd post. age on newspapers, which amounts almost to a prohibition with the public generally. The free diffusion of English newspapers in France, and of French in England, would do more to correct national prejudices than a thousand Acts of Parliament and treaties of alliance and friendship. The marriage of King LEOPOLD with the Princess LOUISE is now fixed for the 9th of August at Compeigne. It appears that several of the prisoners concerned in the late conspiracy have been found guilty, and condemned to various gradations of punishment : 6 to transportation, 9 to 5 years' imprisonment, and 5 to 1 year's imprisonment : 25 have been acquitted. It appears, according to a telegraphic despatch received at Paris, that Don PEDRO continued at Oporto on the 15th, probably organizing the Government, and arranging to give effect to the enthusiasm said to have been manifested by the people in the contiguous provinces. The accounts from Madrid reach down to the 18th, at which time it was stated that a Russian messenger !kid brought a declaration from the Emperor NICHOLAS, strongly disapproving of the interference of France and England in the affairs of Portugal during the present contest. This is in keeping with the EMPEROR'S gene ral conduct, but is too absurd to be treated otherwise than with supreme contempt. Nl caoLAs may intrigue through the obstinacy and hypocrisy of the King of HOLLAND, but surely Portugal is too far to the west fin. his Imperial impertinence. Great activity prevails in the war department at Paris to put the army on the war footing. This precaution is taken in consequence of the suspicious conduct of the Northern Powers, and the famous Protocol of Frankfort, which is looked on as a manifesto against the French Revolution, the second anniversary of which begins to-day. The Irish Reform Bill is now safe ; it passed through Committee last night in the Lords, and thus one great step has been taken towards securing the tranquillity of Ireland. But there still remains the tithe - question, which must also be put on an efficient footing—as it will be, no doubt, in some shape or other, by a reformed Parliament—before the sister country can be prb nounced to be in a sound and healthy state. As for Mr. STANLEY'S project, it is a mere non entity. It has not one of the requisites which such a measure, to become popular and do good, should posseSs. It is mean and temporising in some respects ; impracticable in others ; and offends the Catholics, while it does not conciliate the Protestants. It is, in fact, a scion of the juste milieu system—a system most ingeniously devised for the purpose of bringing all its advo cates into hot water. Ireland at present is a man in the last stage of disease, and Mr. STANLEY' his quack-doctor, or St. JOHN LONG, who thinks that, by rubbing a hole in his back, of the size of a parish poor-box, he shall be able to let out the infectious matter, forgetting that by so doing, he is superaddinga second disorder,which will facilitate the progress of the first. Look at the existing condition of Ireland. From Con nemara to the hill of Howth, from Cape Clear to the Giant's Causeway, it is one vast volcano. The course of justice is impeded ; for the very law which denounces, seems to be without the rower to punish crime. A statesman, endowed with ordinary sagacity, would have striven to provide a remedy efficient enough to meet this state of things ; but Mr. STANLEY has legislated for Ireland as if she had no interest in the matter. lie has glanced at the surface of the tithe question, but not cut down to the substratum. This hasty, superficial mode of regarding a question, of remedying a grievance, will never answer with a country so combustible as Ireland. Hers is no.common— no every day grievance ; it is the growth of cen turies, and not to be abated without the exercise of extraordinary diligence, promptitude, resolu- tion, and, above all, impartiality. We recognize none of these qualifications in Mr. STANLEY'S tithe project, but we see the absolute necessity for them, in the scorn with which his proffered boon is received by all Ireland. The ',sputa Professor's project for extracting sun-beams from cucumbers, is not a whit more absurd than Mr. STANLEY'S Tithe Bill. It is the very beau ideal of the impracticable. Colonel EVANS brought forward his motion last night on the subject of military reductions, in which he was ably seconded by Mr. Humq Sir J. HOBHOUSE replied in that peculiarly enigmatical manner which the Treasury Bench has such facility in adopting whenever it wishes to mystify a plain statement. We have no great fault to find with the Right Hon. Gen tleman's observations, except that they were not sufficiently explicit and encouraging on those points to which the Gallant Colonel directed his attention, and which most claimed a definite reply. A private letter has been received in town this morning from Bourdeaux, dated the 21st, by Estafette, stating that news had been received in that city that the advanced troops of Don PEDRO had taken possession of Aviero on the 14th, and were on their march upon Coimbra, where they were expected to be joined by a number of volunteers, students of the Univer sity. A part of the squadron had sailed from Oporto towards Mondego Bay, to effect a land ing upon that point. A steam-vessel from the squadron was to have arrived yesterday at Falmouth, to take in arms, ammunition, and stores, sent from London, on Wednesday, on board the Brockelbank, belong ing to the Steam Navigation Company ; which vessel will return as soon as she has delivered them, and not proceed to Oporto, as stated in one of the Papers. Direct news from the ex pedition may, therefore, be expected in town to-morrow. Requisitions are preparing to Lords EB RING TON and JOHN RUSSELL, to stand candidates for the South of Devon, which there is no doubt they will accept. Mr. BULTEEL had prepared to enter the lists, expecting that Lord EBRINGTON would stand for the North; but finding the general wish to be that the two noble Reform ers should stand together, he does not mean :to come forward. JOHN EVELYN DENISON, Esq., offers his services for the sourthern division of the county of Not tingham, in the next Parliament. It is understood that the Hon. J. S. Lumbry intends offering himself to the electors of the northern division.—Derby Reporter. His Majesty's ship Vernon, and a large steamer, the Dee, carrying guns, are hourly expected in our harbour; and we understand that his Majesty's ship Talavera, from the Baltic, and the Caledonia, Britan nia, and Prince Regent, will shortly arrive at Cove to join the fleet of Sir PULTENEY MALCOLM. All this naval preparation leads to the supposition that we shall shortly have warm work in some quarter, and woe to the enemy that comes within the range of such a fleet !— Cork Con stitution of Tuesday. The state of Ireland is terrific ; the acquittal of the men tried at Kilkenny is serious. It serves to le galize the use of violence, and gives impunity to murder, if committed in resisting the collection of tithes. The shallow Bill now going through Parliament will not cure —it will incro t ase this evil : there must be some great mea sure which will at once satisfy the real wants of the na tion—created no matter how, (for that is not now the question) —and will then visit with unsparing severity every person who v en t ures to move the people to violence. But whilejustice is doled out by driblets, agitation will con tinue, and no force can effectually control it. Justi the virtue which the time demands.— Times. At the adjourned meeting of the Middlesex County Magistrates, yesterday, it was announced by Colonel CLirHEItoE that Sir PETER LAURIE had fallen a victim to the cholera.

Mr. CROMBIE stated, that this was the petition of three gentlemen who had been appointed, by a majority of :the members of the Friendly Society, trustees in the room of ' the defendants, calling upon them to aceornit for the funds of the Society which had come into their possession or power, and also praying the Court to discharge them from their office, on the gtottd of acting improperly with he funds of the Society, which was established in the year 1790. The affidavits in opposition to the petition, stated, that of late years a number of poor and necessitous persons had become members of the Society, who were now desirous of dividing its funds among them ; that the ap pointment of the petitioners trustees was for the purpose of carrying that plan into effeet, in order to injure the old members. That a person named Richards, who was the chief author of the plan, and who at the annual dinner of the Society in 1830, brought the proposition forward, by which the Society was thrown into great confusion, had induced the Secretary to resign his office, and 'cause 1 the petitioners to be appointed trustees. By the affidavits on the other side, it was denied that th, trustees intended to divide the fund ; and it was positively sworn by Richards, that he had never interfered in the concerns of the society till July, 1830, when he was ap pointed steward ; that on being so appointed he di.co vered that the trustees had lent 251 , contrary to the rules of the society ; that they had allowed one of the trustees, named Wilkinson, to retain possession of 400/, on his depositing the title deeds of an insufficient property. That so far from the Secretary resigning, he had been turned out of his office, and, on h:s refusing to give an) particulars relative t the accounts, he had been taken before the Mayor of Barnstable, who had o-dered him to deliver up the books. The petitioners stated that they believed the object of the old trustees to be to allow Wilkin son to hold the funds in his possession on insufficient security, inasmuch as when applied to they refused it, give any statement of their accounts, or resign their office of trustees. Under such circumstances the present petition was rendered neces,ary. Mr. GARRAT for the defendants contended that the whole scheme was a combination formed by the young members of the Society to injure the old ones. The old trustees were perfectly willing to account, but they did not consider the petitioners to be properly appointed. His HoNoun. thought the case a very plain one. The present petitioners had been appointed trustees by a majority of fifty out of fifty-two members ; the Court was bound, therefore, under the Act of Parliament, to consider then. the proper trustees of the society. The prayer of the pe tition must, therefore, be granted, and the defendants pa) costs. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, T WEL VE 0' CLOCK. We are again this morning without any arrivals of con sequence. By the French mail, this morning, they state from Munich that the protocol of the Conference of London, appointing Prince Otho to the throne of Greece, had arrived there; besides the money guaranteed to him he ip to be furnished with an army of 25 000 men, hail English and half French, troops, as well as 3,000 Bavarians. According to accounts from Brussels, it appears that two out of the three of the Belgian Ministers, are for the refusal of the new propositions of the Conference, but the King is for the acceptance of it. We are sorry to state that another respectable broker in the house has died this morning of the cholera; this ha&• caused much alarm to the other members. Owing to the contrary winds, we have no fresh arrival, from Don Pedro. Consols opened at the same price they left off at yes terday, 831 for the account, with nothing doing as yet. The Estafette from Paris is of minor importance. Consols have improved to 831 HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. To the present time we are without any arrivals consequence. The expected Budget to be brought for ward this evening keeps the speculators and jobbers on the look out, but as yet nothing has transpired on the suhject, although the Funds have improved since the early part of the morning, when they were 83i, since which Consul' have been done at 831 ; at present may be quoted 838 to A good Money Market. Commercial affairs are in a state of stagnation. In the Foreign Market little doing. Dutch Stock ra• ther improved. Other foreign securities maintain their prices. It is stated that the Gaffetonce held last evening on the affairs of Belgium, ended very favourably, and great hope. arc entertained of a speedy- settlement. TW 0 O'CLOCK. We this moment learn that accounts have bee❑ reci•ived at Bourdeaux, that Don Pedro w3s marching on Coimbra, and that two divisions of Don Miguel's army had receive(' orders to attack him.

ACQUITTAL AND DISCHARGE OF ALL THE PRISONERS III: CONSENT OF THE CROWN. This morning, soon after the opening of the court, on a medical gentleman stating to his Lordship that the c tnfine 'Lent, for another night, of Mr. Fitzpatrick, one of the jurors sworn on Ryan's trial, whom he had Leen attend might endanger his life, the Court had the jury called out and discharged. His LORDSHIP then inquired of Mr. Scott, of counsi I tOr the prosecution, (the Attornev-G , neral having left town) wh it comae the Crown intended to adopt with re- Tent to Ryan's case, as well as those of the other prisoners. Mr. SCOTT said, that he was instructed by the Attor fiPy- General to state, that after what had been the result of four trials before four successive Juries of the county, the Crown would prosecute no further. Scotr then consented with Mr. Dixon, the lead ing Counsel for the defence, to have a Jury sworn, and the prisoners given in charge, the Crown offering no evi dence against them. This was immediately dune, and a verdict of Not Guilty returned. _ The pria9rers were then immediately discharged, and proceeded to their respective homes. The greatest OA order and tranquillity prevailed amongst the people. SPORTING INI-51.LIGENCE. TAT TERSALE g.

CALAMITOUS ACCIDENT ON THE DERBY RACE COURSE.-Yesterday, between three and four o'clock, the centre of one of the booths on the Derby race course came down with a tremendous crash. A scene of confu sion and alarm presented itself that beggars description. The whole course was thrown into a state of the greatest agitation, and reports were spread through the town that many persons were killed, and great numbers had sus tained injuries of a very serious nature. A ring was formed to keep off the crowd, and the wounded were laid upon the grass in groups, till 111t1118 could be procured to carry them away ; others were carried on to the grand stand. Several gent!etnen on the course were exceedingly prompt in removing them to their residences, and the Infirmary, to whom great praise is due for their humanity and activity. We have made inquiry this morning at the Infirmary, and we find there were carried there a man and a woman each with a br ,, ken leg, one man with a leg and an arm broken, one with a dislocated ancle, and two severely bruised. Eleven other persons we have heard of who were carried to their own residences or to inns, who received injuries. It was reported that a baby was crushed to death in its mother's arms, as she was passing the booth when it fell, but we believe ►.he report is not true, and we hope it will appear that no fives will be lost by this very distressing occurrence. The catastrophe was occasioned by the rush of persons on the booth (of whom there were 350) w the front, on the ringing of the bell for the start for the 50 guineas stakes. The centre prop was broken by the immense pressure and the whole ilropt in a mo ment. It was a most providential occurrence, that the booth underneath was neatly empty, the persons who had been sitting there having gone out to see the race. The shrieks of the females, and the cries of alarm and distress, were appalling to the last degree, and will never be for• gotten by those who witnessed this calamitous event.— Derby Reporter. STRAND THEATRE. _Mt. ANDERSON ar rived last night in this snug little port, after, beyond On Atlantic, " biding the pelting of the pitiless storm" tit l `` open pen-kniv e s, c r ue tq, s i n ellimr-bottles, locks, and adies' combs." He was h a iled by his friends on shore, as they always hail the weather-beaten sailor—enthusiastically. As far as appearance goes, the fatigue of foreign travel has had but slight effect upon him. But, judging by the huskiness of his voice, he has not as yet tecovered front the evaporation of a dry climate and a lea voyage. We like his animation, and he was on that account deservedly encored in the song, " What joy again to hear the trumpet," which he sang as Henry Bertram, in the opera Hof Guy Mannering. Th e pi ece , on th e whole, was very fairly performed. Af ter t h e O pera, JEROLD ' S Cif lden Calf was played for the 17th time, and is as arrawng as et e t .
