The late hour at which the race came off having prevented our sending any details from the course, we now subjoin them. The start, as we observed in our last, did not take place until past four o'clock, the preliminaries having occu pied no less than two hours l—a long time to keep an anxious multitude in suspense, but compensated for by the very clever manner in which the horses were arranged, according to the order ordrawing, and the success with which they were got off at the first signal. Chatterbox and Newcourt, both of the first rank, jumped off together, and with Farthing Candle, Mickey Free, Cherry, Mendicant, and several others, closely laid up, made the pace good to the top turn, where Mendicant and St. Lawrence dropped into the centre; chatterbox gave up his place directly after, and Erin-go- Btagh going to the front, took up the running at a moderate speed, followed by Newcourt and Mickey Free, Farthing . Candle, Arthur, and Camera Obscura next, and in the rear Ratcliffe, the Lamb, and Annandale. They ran in nearly this order to the back of the course the second time round, when Erin-go-Bragh, having had enough of it, resigned the lead, and at once retired from the first rank, Newcourt then took up the running, attended by Mickey Free, next to whom were Farthing Candle, Inheritress, Arthur, and one or two others; Mendicant and St. Lawrence still lying in the ruck. Arthur was beaten at the lower turn, and at the last turn Mickey Free broke down, and was out of the race. St. Lawrence now began to show in front, and at the distance had deprived Newcourt of his lead ; immediately after, Mendicant, who was eighth or ninth at the turn, and apparently shut out, cleared her horses, and joined company ; at the stand she was at St. Lawrence's girths, and had the distance been twenty yards longer she would have won ; as it was she made a .gallant tight of it, the horse winning with the greatest difficulty by a head. Newcourt was beaten two lengths, and was run in very closely by Farthing Candle and Tom Tough ; Inheritress sixth. The Lamb, Annandale, Clermont (who was coughing), and Ratcliffe, were beaten all the Way, Clermont being absolutely last, and The Lamb last but one. - The pace was very moderate. The settling will take place to• morrow, and is likely to be harmless. The amount won by Mr. Drinkald—said to be for himself and friends -20,0001, (in addition to the stake, which is worth 2,2401. clear), coming out of a great number of pockets. r q E. 'I e 1.

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING SALES BY AUCTION. the Magnificent DOMAIN of HAMPDEN, in BUCKS, comprising about 4,600 Acres, nearly in a Ring Fence, surrounding a tine Baronial Mansion, with a superbly Timbered Park, extensive Woodlands, va:uable Farms, Manors and Advowson, delightfully situated between the Towns of Wycombe, Risboreugh, Missenden, and Aylesbury, and within Twelve Mlles of the Tring Station en the London and Birmingham Railway. DANIEL SICIITH and SON have . been commissioned by the Noble Proprietor to announce that this truly important and .highly distinguished FREEHOLD ESTATE will be SUBMITTED to PUBLIC SALE during, the ensuing summer, unless an acceptable offer shall be pre viously made by Private Contract. It is famed as having • been especially visited by Queen Elizabeth, and as the residence of the renowned Hampden, and comprises a splendid domain of about 4,00 acres, etnbracing a romantic portion of the fine healthy Cbiitern Hills and of the rich vale beneath, stretching to within a few miles of the several surrounding towns of 3lissenden, Wendover, Aylesbury, Princes Ilistwough, and High Wycombe. The mansion is a grand feature in the county, amidst the wood-crowned heights of Hamp•len, opening with south and east aspects through noble avenues (one still known as Queen Rizabeth's Gap) to thesurrounding vale. It pos sesses capital stabling, good gardehs, &c., but it Is a place of compara tively small expense. The park is superbly timbered, and the woodlands are remarkably thriving, and form beautiful broken links in the surrounding diversified scenery. The farms are all let at very low rents to a respectable tenantry. There are keepers' and woodmen' lodges, and numerous superior cottages. The manors are extensive, and the advowsen of Hampden-cum-Kimble, with its desirable par sonage, and the tithes of some adjoining estates, appertain to the property. The picturesque church, in which is the grave and mo nument of Hampden, is near the house : and it is the wish of the noble proprietor to transfer with the mansion (with a few unimpor tant exceptions), the whole of' its highly interesting' and valuable effects, the greater part being connected with its histOrical and other associations. Such a property, viewed as to its substantial value, numerous beauties, and interetting appendages, is but rarely in the market. Cards for viewing the estate can only be obtained by parties giving their name and address, of Messrs. Jones, Bateman, and Bennett, Solicitors, Lincoln's-inn ; and of Messrs. Daniel Smith and Sbn, Land Agents, Waterloo •place, who are fully authorised to treat for _the sale of the ptopertit.

Estanstiment, PRICE SD. PETITION OF THOMAS BARBER WRIGHT CURRENCY. AND JOHN HARLOW. The humble Petition of the undersigned Inhabitants of the borough of Birmingham, Shorreth,—That your petitioners regard with great apprehension t&I operations of an Act passed in the seventh and eighth years of the reign of her present Majesty, intituled, " An Act to regulate the issue of Bank-notes, and for giving to th e G overnor an d C om p an y of the Bank of England certain privileges for a certain period;" and your petitioners are therefore anxious to call the serious attention of your Honourable House to the injurious effects ss hich the carrying out of the Act has already produced upon the monetary and mercantile and trading interests of the nation, and to the still more injurious effects which are likely to result- from the fur ther continuance of its operations. Your petitioners would remind your Honourable House, that the aforesaid Act has been stated to be a " complement" of other measures, having for their ob fret the regulation of the currency of this country by the Bank of England and the other banks of the country, and was passed byyour Hon( is • dale House, under the plea that it " wool I untigate or ter ninate those evils which have at various times afflicted the country in consequence of rapid fluctuations in the amount and value of the me dium of exchange," and " put a check on speculation, and insure, so far as legislation can insure, the just re-, ward of industry, and the legitimate profit of commercial enterprise, conducted with integrity, and controlled by provident calculation." That the system of which the Bill of 1844 is said to be the complement, professes :to regulate the eirculatifig medium of ths country by the influx and efflux of bul !ion: when the Bank of England holds a large quantity of tiullion it can issue an abundance of credit money; but, in proportion as the bullion decreases, the Bank is compelled to diminish the amount of its credit money. The true uses of credit money are, in the opinions of your petitioners, thus reversed; for when the country is in a position to do without the aid of the Bank credit, then the Bank can furnish it most abundantly; but when credit money is really required, the Bank is compelled to withhold its help. Your petitioners would refer to the present position of the Bank as fully bearing out these allegations. The country is now labouring under a great calamity, in consequence of the deficient produce of the harvests of 1845 and 1846; and this calamity, in the opinion of your petitioners, is greatly aggravated by the present inefficient system of currency, which, as your Honourable House will perceive, contracts credit when credit is most required, and thus adds calamity to calamity, instead of mitigating the evil. Your petitioners would humbly submit to your Ho nourable House, that, in consequence of the deficiency in the harvests alluded to, the prices and value of food have been considerably enhanced, and that the labourer has consequently to give a larger amount of his labour for the same amount of food. Your petitioners entreat your Honourable House to observe the workings of the system under this state of things. In consequence of the deficiency in the produce of the harvests of this country, food has to be imported from abroad, and this food, the demand for it being sudden, has to be paid for in gold: the result of this is, that the basis of the credit money of the country is taken away—that is, the bullion upon which the credit money is issued—and the paper money, which constitutes the active currency of the country, is consequently diminished. The operation of the system is already rendered painfully evident in the money mar ket. The Three per Cent. Consols, which were above par at the latter end of 1844 and beginning of 1845, and which, even no further back than June, 1846, were at 971., are now (April 10, 1847) at 861. The unfunded debt, railway shares, canal shares, and other property, have been in like manner operated upon. The quantity of labour finding active employment has already been seriously lessened; the labourer will, therefore, have to pay higher prices for food out of diminished wages. The amount of his labour is lessened at the very time he should, if possible, have fuller employment. The paying of higher prices for food is an evil which, under the cir cumstances of a deficient harvest, cannot be avoided; bat short employment under the same circumstances is an evil which the present system of currency, by de stroying credit money when it is most required, aggra vates to an enormous extent. If the credit money were not destroyed, the diminution of employment would be small in amount; and, in many cases, would scarcely be felt. Your petitioners would entreat the attention of your Honourable House to the fact, that the amount of legal tender money is very small in comparison with the large business transactions of the nation, and that a slight diminution of the legal-tender money destroys large masses of credit. The active circulation of the Bank of England, for the week ending August 29, 1846, when it held 16,366,0681. of bullion, was 21,311,8101.; the active circulation for the week ending the 3d day of April, 1847, with bullion amounting to only 10,246,410/., is 20,815,234/ , making a difference in the actual circula t:on of 496,576 L This diminution, small as it is, acting conjointly with the distrust which the rapid diminution of the bullion hits created, operates upon more than one hundred million s of credit in the shape of mercantile bill, and upon credit in other shapes to an enormous amount. It is thus evident that, as the trade and commerce of the nation are carried on and sustained by credit, steadiness of quantity in the legal-tender money of the country is of vital importai c to the trading community. Under the present system of currency, the fluctuations of the exchanges acting upon the immense /31US CS Of credit transactions, render "prudent calculation" impossib!e. had the directors of the Bank of England acted strictly in accordance with the principles of the late enactment, the fluctuation of the present time would be much greater than it now is ; for whilst there has been a flue tuation of bunion amounting to 6,119,658/, there is only a difference in the active circulation amounting to 496,5761., on comparison of the two returns before alluded to. Your petitioners are aware that the directors of the Bank of England have been much blamed for not acting up more strictly to the intention of the Act of 1844. But your petitioners consider that it must be evident to your Honourable House, from the facts here detailed, that the directors of the Bank of England have done the utmost that a bad system would allow them to do, to keep free from "alternations and vicissitudes in that medium of exchange which regulates the value of every article in the country." Your Honourable House must at once perceive that if the directors of the Bank of Eng land had reduced their active circulation in the same proportion as the bullion has been diminished, the de struction of credit that must have ensued would, before this, have brought about a panic much more disastrous than the panic of 1825. Such, however, is the restrictive nature of the Act of 1844, that, in the opinion of your petitioners, the Bank can no longer contend against its operations. With a much larger amount of bullion in its possession at the present time, compared with former seasons of money pressures, the directors have less power to help the trading community; and have been compelled not only greatly to increase the rate of interest upon loans, but have also found it necessary, for the safety of the Bank, to absolutely refuse paper of a very high class, such as a short time ago would have been freely dis counted. Your petitioners would also submit, that the evil effects of the fluctuations of the exchanges are greatly aggra vated by the immense fixed monetary engagements ofoll nation, and that, these and the foregoing causes o rating together, render the present system of currener altogether unjust and impolitic, and call* for the imam dicta igterferenoe of your Honourable Uouse. The fore going• statements clearly show that the system of cur rency, which itt• was said the Act of 1844 would render complete, has not and cannot "prevent alternations and vicissitudes in that medium of exchange which regulates the value of every article in the country-;" on the contrary, your Honourable House will perceive that it has very much aggra vated them, and has rendered them more disastrous to the commercial tiad trading interests of the community, and to the productive classes generally, than heretofore has been the case. Your petitioners are of opinion, that the best means by which the evils resulting from the late deficient harvests can be mitigated, will be by the issue of paper money sufficient to sustain the trade of the country during the absence of the gold currency; and that a system of paper-money, .established with proper checks, would at all times be best adapted to the wants of the country. Your petitioners observe that, according to the last returns of the Bank of England, the amount held by the Bank to carry on its business transactions is only 4,391,4701. Your petitioners therefore pray your llonourable House to take the state of the Bank and the currency into immediate consideration, and, by the timely exercise of the authority of your Honourable House, protect the population of this country from those evils with which they are now threatened, and which cannot fail to visit them if the Act of 1844 is allowed to continue in operation. And your petitioners will over pray for the prosperity of your Honourable House. THOMAS BARBER WRIGHT, Newspaper Proprietor, Union-street, Birmingham. JOHN HARLOW, Printer, Summer-lane, Birmingham. - PETITION OF THaMAS CLUTTON SALT. The humble Petition of Thomas Clutton Salt, o Birmingham. Showeth,—Thet the fact is before your Honourable House, that, whenever the exchanges become adverse, gold is exported, and the Bank of England is compelled to diminish her issue of paper money, thereby effecting a double drain on the basis of our monetary means. That a very trivial diminution of this basis has been invariably accompanied by an abatement of the rapidity of the circulation of the remainder, and a derangement of the vast superstructure resting upon it. The dimi nished money is incapable of . paying undiminished debt, or of supplying the undiminished necessities of exist ence; and thus a prosperous, wealthy, and industrious Ps people, by thi s wea k ness of the monetary system, is i suddenly reduced t o i nso l vency, ru i n , an d pa upe rism. That the facts are a l so b e f ore y our Honoukrabl, a nd the a intained in e House, that the general d e p ress i on o f f ore foreignniamr eta prosperity and comparatively high prices the English markets, has stimulated im portations, correspondingly checked exportatio ns. i and That the general reduction of mportduticsof goohasadls lowed the introduction of large quantities hitlarto virtully prohibited.

But in the session of 1844 your Honourable !rouse passed the complement Error Bill of the great Error Bill of 1819, substituting an inelastic cord for the elastic cord by which the Bill of .1819 bound the Bank of England; Under the law of 1844 the Bank has no power to save: Shia c.ut only add to her issifeirof notes by her command over her gold, which she -eniiioly loses in the hoUrv..l nee& .The ruin must thtrefore hold on its des•ructive course. . . Your_httnible petitioner would now call the 'attenlioß of your Honourable House to some of the consequences of dangers so evidently at hand. •- - The details of Irish destitution and misery which daily appal your Honourable House, mainly or more immedi— ately result from the loss of the potatoe crop, which is the means of existence of -the Irish labourer, and that misery is only mitigated ancrexistence 'preserved by the power England possesses of.punriug. out her treasure unsparingly to relieve. , .• . how money, with 41.9ne- pays wages, is the only me ins of existence of the English labourer ; should the Government permit that to fail,—should your Honour able House, disregarding the signs of the times and the warning of .your humble petitioner, neglect Adopting timely measures to prevent the occurrence of a monetary , crisis, now impending,—a sudden and general suspen sion of the employment of labour and payment of wages must occur ; this only means of the existence of a dense population must cease, and the Government wilt hare to deal at once with Irish and English destitution at the very time that it loses all financial power to relieve. One of the most profound thinkers on this subject England has produced, gave the Government, a quarter of a century ago, this emphatic warning If the Go vernment should delay rectifying the great errors of its monetary system until a scarcity of food and a scarcity of money should occur at the same time, then it will be ruin to advance, ruin to retreat, ruin - to stand still." Your humble petitioner has shown your Honourable House, that this double and irremediable danger now threatens the country; and he earnestly prays your Honourable House, that it would, without delay, appoint a Committee, to inquire into the means of averting it, and that such Comtni , tee should be directed to examine yourpc-titioner, and such other persons as they may deem - competent; and he prays that your Honourable House may, in its wisdom, escape the gui t and danger of reducing, by its management, the most powerful, wealthy, and industrious people in the world to a condition of misery and anarchy passing all records or belief. And your petitioner will ever pray, &c. THOMAS CLUTTON SALT. Birmingham, Feb. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen had a dinner party on Wednesday at Bucking ham Palace.

Duzux, APRIL 28.—The bulletin issued this morning was extremely unfavourable, and, notwithstanding the san guine notice of the state of the noble patient's health which appeared in the Government journal of last night, there is every reason to apprehend a fatal termination to his Excel hiency's malady- After poet hour yesterday, and up to three lock this morning..the answer given to the numerous in quiries was, that there was no change in the symptoms, and that the Noble Earl was not worse. This day, however, the prospects of recovery have further decreased, as will be seen by a copy of the bulletin issued at nine o'clock A.M. . " April 28,.1847. llis Excellency continues in a very precarious state." A little before three o'clock a fresh and equally unfavour able bulletin was issued. It is as follows: " His Excellency continues in a very precarious state up .o half-past two o'clock." At loir o'clock there was no change, and it is not expected here will be another bulletin published before seven o'clock evening. DEATH OF LORD COWLEY.
