THE DERBY, OAKS, and ST. LEGER, 1847. For: the information and guidance of speculators on the three great betting events of the approaching season, we have compiled an alphabetical list of the horses engaged in them, in which we have shown, as far as inquiries enable us, what are in training, out of training, or dead. The few un accounted for may be assumed to be out of training; an asterisk is prefixed to horses bred in Ireland, a dagger to those out of training. Abdiel, J.

THE BISHOP OF OXFORD ON THE MORAL CONDITION OF THE AUSTRA LIAN COLONIES. (From the Sydney Morning Herald). In our paper of the Ist instant, we copied the Morn ing Chronicle report of the discussion which took place in the House of Lords on the 3d of March last, on the subject of Van Diemen's Land, and the intended new penal settlement in New Holland. Our object in now reverting to that discussion is, to_ repudiate certain observations contained in the speech reported to have fallen from the Lord Bishop of Oxford, touching the moral condition of those colonies which are or have been made use of as penal settlements. Alluding to the manner in which the transportation system had been conducted by the British Government not, as we Rather, with reference to Van Diemen's Land particularly, but to penal settlements generally, New South Wales of course included—the Right Rev. Prelate is reported to _have expressed himself in these appalling terms : " Knowing, as we know, or ought to have known, that evil was a fermenting principle—knowing that to asso ciate persons of vicions habits increases instead of di minishes evil, we consigned convicts to a more distant part of the earth, after a long voyage, in the course of which the evil principle of one man might be communi cated to all the rest; and then we set them down to be the founders of a new people, giving them no means of moral restoration—no principle of religious healing. We had reaped as we had sown. It was indeed impossible to hear or read of the state of things -in the quarter of the world to which he referred, without shame or sorrow They found that there, connected with the Englisn name, had sprung up, commonly the most deep and horrible pollution; that vices which Chrisitanity had almost banished fro m th e ear th were more extending; that the tone of society was altogether lowered, and that those who were recovered in a great measure from the particular sins of their progenitors, exhibited in other respects no great moral improvement. They found that chastity was still unknown among the women, and that purity was a stranger to the men." These are certainly frightful imputations ; and whether intended to apply to our unfortunate sister colony exclusively, or to New South Wales and original dependencies generally, they are not more frightful than untrue. Nay, they are not simply untrue—they are so extravagantly, so preposterously .untrue, that had they not proceeded from the lips of one whom we are bound to acquit of intentional misrepresentation, no words would have been too strong to express our indignation at the monstrous slander. The picture of our society here held up to the horrified gaze of the House of Lords, of the British nation, and of the world at large, is one of unmitigated deformity and pollution. " Chastity un known among the women—purity a stranger to the men !" Where could the Bishop of Oxford have picked up these shocking falsehoods ? And what could have misled him to regard them as truths ? The only way in which we can at all account for his Lordship's wrong impressions —how dreadfully wrong to the virtuous colonists this : His late father, th e i mmorta l Wilberfore, took a very lively interest in the moral affairs of New South Wales from its very commencement, having been the means of extorting from the Home Government, but with the utmost difficulty, the first appointment of a Chaplain to watch over its moral and spiritual interests. The late Rev. Samuel Marsden, the second chaplain, was also, we believe, sent out at the instance of the same illustrious philanthropist. And for many years alter the foundation of their settlement, Mr. Wil- berforce continued to urge upon the King's Ministers, from time to time, the crying necessity for still further supplies of clergymen, and for the appointment of schoolmasters. His son, the present Bishop of Oxford, may, therefore, be supposed to have been accustomed from earliest life to hear of the culpable remissness of the Government in regard to the religious concerns of this then penal country, and its demoralising results. The impressions of boyhood may have grown up with him ; and having been strengthened by the one-sided representations of the Transportation Committee of the House of Commons, so recently as eight years ago, and by the still more recent calumnies of the New Zealand speculators, to the propagation of which, unhappily, the Archdeacon of Dublin lent the high influence of his sta tion and character,—Dr. Wilberforce may have come to look upon it as a settled and indisputable fact, that wherever the streams of transportation have flowed, they have left behind them the slime of moral pollution, in which " things rank and gross in nature" have taken obstinate root, spreading around in all directions, and filling the land with their fruit of abomination. And with this false conclusion fixed and riveted in his mind, the Right Reverend Prelate must have gone down to the House of Lords for the purpose of bearing his testimony against the system which had wrought such fearful mis chiefs. Fortunately we can oppose to the errors of one Pre late the truthful representations of another. Some of our readers may remember, that in the session of 1840, during the debate upon the Immigration Report, the Lord Bishop of Australia took the opportunity of re butting these aspersions which had then been recently cast upon the moral character of our community by Dr. Whateley, the Archbishop of Dublin. In the speech de" livered on that occasion (23d O c t o b er , 1840), the Bishop ° of Australia, referring to what had been advanced at a recent public meeting in Dublin, by the Rev. Dr. Dick inson, chaplain to the Archbishop, is reported to have spoken as follows : " lie knew no single instance (either in this colony or in Van Dieman's Land), of any man or woman either, indulging in open vice, who received the notice of any whose notice was of any worth. He knew that persons of blemished character found themselves as much shunned, and as uncomfort a bly sit u at e d h ere as in any other country in the world, in fact, as completely ex cluded as they would be from the most scrupulous of the societies to w hi c h th ey h a d b een accustome d in their native country. Nor was this feeling confined merely to the higher classes, but had much prevalence and influ ence to a very :wide extent even in other orders of society." This testimony is full, ample, complete, and coming from one whose opportunities of estimating the moral character of these colonies have been such as no one re sident in England or Ireland can pretend to—from one whose credibility as a witness admits of no question, and whose civil and ecclesiastical station entitles his opinions to the most respected consideration—we leave it to work out its own way as a triumphant refutation of the calumnies we have been complaining of ; only requesting, that such of our British contemporaries as are accustomed to pay some attention to colonial affairs, will do New South Wales and Van Dieman's Land the justice to give publicity in England to our present article, - Bessy Winton c, Docket , ray Y.

The Parochial Board of Kingussie and Insh held an adjourned meeting on the 15th December last, for the purpose of imposing a new assessment for the support of the poor, for the year 1847. The meeting was interest ing on two grounds. Ist, By an unanimous resolution to alter the mode of assessment, and to classify agri cultural and other tenants alike. In 1846, the occupants of houses in the villages of Kingussie, Newtonmore, and Insh were triply assessed. The poor mechanics and labourers felt this as a great hardship. 2d, It was re solved that the respective heritors of lands should be required to produce rent-rolls of their estates, including the rent of the shootings. The Board came to this decision on the principle argued in the House of Lords, and sustained by . their Lordships, in the case of Mac pherson v. Craigie, on the 13th August last—viz., that the profits produced by the sale of shootings formed part of the rental of an estate, liable to the usual burdens imposed upon rent. Lords Brougham, Cottenham, and Campbell were unanimous in their opinion, and gave their decision without starting a single doubtful point. Hitherto the system of allowing the profits of shootings to pass untaxed for the support of the poor has been general, but there is now a clear decisive example to encourage parocial boards to assess for the poor both the landlord and his southron friends, who for a brief season sojourn among our wilds in pursuit of game, and thus to a certain extent relieve the industrious hard wrought rate-payer. It is argued that, in the preamble of the new Act, where " lands and heritages ' are de fined, while " fishings, fresh-waters," &c., are made assessable for the purposes of this Act, no mention is made of game shootings, and that therefore they are excluded. Though no lawyer of common sense, legally confirmed by the decision above referred to, teaches that " grouse and ptarmigan, hare and conies," &c., are as much the live produce of the land, as are the sheep pasturing on our hills, and enabling the shepherd, with their fleecy coats and plump carcases, to clear off scores with his landlord.—lnverness Courier.

A retrosp T ect of the lace trad TRADE e for the past year pre sents some reason for confidence in the prospect for the future. It has been brought into almost direct competi tion with French articles, and this has certainly not been without its use, though severe, owing to the predilection felt for foreign grounds and styles. The Nottingham trade has never made, during any previous year, so great an advance in the application of the trne principles of taste to their designs, as within the last twelve months. This has been followed by a satisfactory increase in the demand for the best class of faucy articles. It is true that the lever fancy goods have been depressed in price far below their value ; but this has arisen from too large quantities of the same patterns being forced upon the market ; and can only be remedied by the application of mechanical improvements, affording the means of rapid and inexpensive changes of pattern. If to these be added, excellence in design, this department of the business will resume a profitable activity. There has been lessened consumption of patent plat laces, cheaper improved Mechlins having taken their place. In plain goods ex cellence of materials and workmanship is more sought for than formerly. Notwithstanding some changes in the channels of demand and supply, which during the early months of the year considerably unsettled local trade matters, the total amount of business done has been an average one ; the machinery has been as regn larly employed as usual, and wages have been maintained. The stocks remaining on hand are not heavy. The most difficult feature we have to note at . present is the advance in yarns, and of course, in prime cost. Thi s has been sc arce l y at all rea li se d as yet on wrought goods. The past week has been without change in prices, hut with small demand ; all parties seem waiting for the breaking up of the frost, to bring orders from the Continent, and give impulse to the country trade.— Nottinyltam Review. THE SLY ONE CAUGHT AT LAST.—Mr. Butt, of he Berrow Farm, Martley, had a rather curious incident on Thursday morning last, on his premises, in the cap ture of a fine dog fox. Much more frequently than was pleasant, his poultry had disappeared, to the annoyance of his household. The query was—how, and in what manner, they went, the prevailing opinion being that the rats were the nightly poachers; and to rid the premises of these supposed troublesome marauders traps were set about the hen roost. On the above morning, Just about the time the family were rising, an unusual sound pro ceeded from the quarter in which the poultry were lodged, and a capture was the instant impression. All hurried to the spot, when, to their astonishment and amusement, not a rat, but an animal of a larger growth (as much like a fox as may be) was securely fastened by the leg in a trap, but using his best efforts, trap and all, to beat a retreat from a spot where his reception was more pinching than palatable. Finding, however, that he could not so nimbly clear himself from the ground, already too hot for him, with oneleg in the stocks (viz., the rat trap at his heels), he nobly ceased the struggle and yielded with becoming pluck up to his pursuers. Then came the consultation in what manner should his devastating influence be checked. The venerable owner of the massacred poultry is too good a sportsman to mur der a gallant fox in cold blood, and accordingly the sug gestion was acted upon of transporting the nightly thief to the more extended domain of the noble owner of Wit ley-court. There bold reynard is now comfortably and doubtless not a little proud that his procured him so good a master at last,- ..

The new law to regulate steam navigation and to require sea-going vessels to carry boats, which was passed in August last, came into force on the Ist of January. There are some provisions in the statute (9 and 10 Viet., cap. 100) which are now briefly noticed, having reference to the numerous steamers on the Tinheeaum:gs. or ß p y as t s h in e g 9th clause, every steam-vessel w h en any other steam-vessel is to pass, as far as may be safe, on the port side of such vessel; and every steam-vessel on a river or narrow channel is to keep, as far as is practicable, to the starboard sidra of such ves se l, an d in default, the master or other person having charge of the vessel is to forfeit a sum not exceeding 501. In the two following clauses, power is given to the Admiralty to make regulations respecting the exhibition of " lights" at night, which regulations are to be published in the London Gazette, and then to take effect. By the 12th section, vessels within twenty miles of the coast are to exhibit "lights" at night, and in default to pay a sum not exceeding 201.; " and the owner of every steam-vessel in which such' light shall not be exhibited, as aforesaid, shall not be entitled to recover any recompense or damage whatsoever which SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. may be sustained in consequence of any other vessel ER.;;Ft 1tait,,,,,..

The quantity sold amounted to 400 puns, and the operations would have been upon a larger scale had it not been for the reluctance of merchants to sell.

The Court at its rising adjourned to Monday the Ist of February. THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE COURTS OF ALDERMEN AND COMMON COUNCIL. The sub-committee of the Common Council met, on the subject of the refusal of the Lord Mayor to put the question for the third reading of the Bill to alter the qualification of the candidates for the Common Council. —Mr. Peacock in the chair. The resolution passed at former meetings, that the rights and liberties of the citizens were endang ered by the proceedings of the Court of Aldermen, a n d pledging the Members to adopt and enforce all such lawful, just, and reasonable measures as shall preserve to the citizens of London the right to alter their municipal institutions, to meet the increasing commerce of the City, and in con formity with the intelligence and wants of the times, was read. Mr. ANDERTON said that unless Mr. Ashurst intended to address the committee he would read a requisition, which he had submitted to several of the members, and which he had intended to present to the Lord Mayor. Mr. ASUURST wva obliged to his friend Mr. Anderton, who had left the requisition in his hands until the pre sent meeting took place. He requested that the former resolution might be read that the meeting might act conscientiously, by redeeming their pledge to their con stituents. The difficulty with a popular and numerous body was to pursue unity of action. Though they all well knew the reasons which induced the Court of Aldermen to engage in the present struggle, the only question before the Court of Common Council at the present moment was the refusal of the Lord Mayor to put a question regularly moved, and the right of the Court of Common Council to insist upon his puttinc , it, or having it put, by an officer of the Court. The Lord Mayor was merely the minister of the Court to preserve order and regulate the speakers, not to license or suppress discussion, but if he would refuse to put a question to the Court, he possessed the power to suppress any law, improvement, or even an effort to make one, and the Court must assemble to discharge such duties as it should please him to permit. The pre sent question was a lawful question. The Lord Mayor had submitted it twice to the Court, on the first and second reading of the Bill, and would, they all knew, have put it upon the occasion in question, but that the Aldermen wished to raise the struggle which they knew must come upon that Bill rather than upon others which were to give the freedom without fine to all the rated inhabitants residing in the city, and to coutroul their irresponsibility. They had an instinct which told them that, if the Corporation were thrown open, elections for life and irresponsibility would cease. They dreaded Parliament, but if they could not allow reform to come from within, it must come from without. The committee were under obliga tion to his friend for suspending the requisition. They needed not to do more now than to insist upon having the question put. If they did not insist upon that, they would surrender the primary right upon which all others depended.—(Cheers.) Mr. R. L. JONES argued earnestly and strongly in favour of insisting upon putting the question. That question arose upon a report from the Committee ap pointed by the Court, who had received the report and proceeded with the Bill the committee had prescribed, and it was impossible that the Lord Mayor, or - the speaker of any legally constituted assembly, could say, "you shall not proceed with the business of a report you hare received." If such was the case, the Lord Mayor might practically suppress the Court, and say that no question should be put for receiving a report of which his Lordship did not approve.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. ANDERTON said he was desirous of unanimity above all things, and would not press the requisition. The committee then proceeded to fix a day for bring ing up the information required, from the several officers, and appointed Wednesday, the 13th inst., to call together the general committee of members. SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY. The quarterly general court of the governors of this society was held at the offices, 74, King William-street, yesterday, John Wild, Esq., in the chair. From the statement of the secretary, it appeared that the bequest of Mr. Wright, of 596/. 12s. Bd., to the funds of the society, which had been contested by his executors, was paid on the 4th of last December, and that adoration of 100/., as well as remittances from China, had been received that morning. The receipts for the past quarter amounted to 1,8761. 2s. ld., which, after deducting the necessary expenses, left a balance in the treasurer's hands of 380/. Os. ld. The number of patients received during the past quarter was 813, of whom several had been discharged. Thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the meet ing separated. We are gratified to observed the progressive in crease that is taking place on the importation of pro visions from New York, into this porter, by the regular liners. Scarcely one of these fine vessels now arrive without a considerable portion of their cargo being composed of wheat, flour, cheese, beef, pork, lard, ap ples, &c. The quality of the cheese is generally of a very superior description, and, from being carefully packed, singly, in boxes, would (were they not exposed to the great heat of the hold, caused by the turpentine, &c., of which the other portions of the cargo consist), arrive in good condition ; but, from th e fi neness of the quality and great weight, generally 561bs. each, and upwards, and the reasons before stated, they are occa sionally much injured. This might in a great measure be obviated by the erection of " stages" or shelves, similar to those in use in the Rotterdam traders, between decks, by which means they can be placed in well-aired situa tions, and thus secure their transit in good condition. The apples have arrived this season in very bad condi tion, scarcely three-fifths being worth the freight and charges. It is well known that with apples, bruised by coming in contact with one another, decay commences immediately; and, from their being packed in barrels and rolled from one place to another during the process of shipment, landing, &c., their total destruction is almost ensured. This might be entirely prevented were they packed with fine mahogany saw-dust, in cases, from 10 to 12 feet long, by li feet wide, and about one foot deep.
