VENING EDITION._ SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM RACES—TUESDAY. This meeting commenced yesterday under the stewardship of the Baron de Tessier and Sir Gilbert Heathcote, Mr. Clark officiating as judge, Mr. Farrell as clerk of the course, and Mr. Perren as starter, with a strong bcdy of police of the A division, under Inspectors Pearce Hughes, and May, which force, by the way, is to be largely increased this day. The arrangements comprehended several improvements already noticed, and, in other respects, were on the same plan which has hitherto proved so successful in securing amusement to the spectators and maintaining order : they were not less effective yesterday. The weather during the greater part of the day was wet and cold, notwithstanding which, the attendance was quite as numerous as can be expected on any day antecedent to the Derby. The Grand Stand, which has largely increased ices claims on public support, was, as usual, and as it ought to be, patronised, by a large number of the nobility, the f o llo w i ng names having been handed to us as a small portion of those pre sent in the course of the afteenoon : Duke of Montrose, Duke of Beaufort, Marquis of Exeter, Lord Albemarle, Lord Jersey, Lord Verulam, Lord Maidstone, Lord J. Fitzroy, Lord Villiers, Lord Kelburne, Lord South ampton, Baron lie Tessier, Sir F. Johnstone, Sir J. Shelley, Sir G. Heathcote, Hon. General Grosvenor, Hon. G. S. I3yng, Hon. Colonel Anson, and Hon. Captain Rous ; Messrs. Payne, Grevlle, Thornhill, Batson, Shelley, Etwall, Hawker, Greene, Worrell, J. Bayley, Portman, &e. &c. , The refreshment rooms were under the joint superintend ence of Mr. Careless, of the New York Coffee-house, Corn hill, and Mr. Hare, of the Roebuck, Richmond, whose ca tering at former meetings has proved so satisfactory to the visitors. We have stated that the general arrangements were on the same system as before, ;and as far as the Stewards and their subordinates had power, they were made available to the amusement and comfort of the public ; but the gentleman who has succeeded to the property of the late Mr. Ladbroke has not inherited with it his love of sport truly called "na tional," or his liberal feeling towards those by whom it is pa tronized; he has directly attacked the means of subsistence of aclaionsnet o t f h i e t i s r an ta e k ie in n g t a i t a_ several of his t en ants by a prohibition rare-horst, and deprived the Derby day trattiens M closing the Warren. Thee proceeding, we under starlit, has been directed by religious, and we doubt not, con scientious motives, but John Bull is an awkward animal to drive, and so long as racing is legalized by Act of Par liament, encouraged by Royal gifts, and sanctioned by the presence of the great and noble of the land, it may be fairly questeoned -whether violent measures will not have a direct opposite effect to that intended. Having ad verted to this, as part of our duties connected with the meet ing, we Cili assure those accustomed to an annual treat on the Derby day, that if tecy lose one item of their amusements, they will gain one that throws that and every other into the shade :.__. Her Majesty will gratify her subjects by attending, in company with Prince Albert, and as the visit will be made at an early hour, it will be neeessery for those who are anxious to get a " good plate," to " take the road" betimes, and not to dwell on it in the expectation of a sight of the Royal procession, for. by so doi n g th e y w;11 c, eats a vast deal of annoyance to them_ selves and others, almost to a certainty be disappointed, and, stale than all, lose the chance of witnessing her Majesty's ar rival e n the course. , Ti. following is a return of the racing :--- The Craven Stakis of 10 sovs. each, for 3-year-olds, 6st. ; 4 ars. e e l. ; 5 yes.

FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (From the Globe.) The meeting at Exeter Hall yesterday was a grati fying and imposing spectacle, well worthy of the grace ful presence and presidency of the consort of our Sovereign, and which would have been characterised, but for one incident, by perfect unanimity. We allude of course to the unhandsome treatment of Mr. O'Connell by a noisy minority, and having alluded to it, we leave its discredit with those who cannot keep party feelings for places and occasions where their exhibition is at least not an insult to a Royal per sonage who has studiously kept aloof from all similar demonstrations, and an injury to a cause which has nothing to do with any party animosities. Turning, however, from what was pleasing and from what was unpleasing in yesterday's proceedings, we feel bound to inquire—How far were they practi cal And certainly, so far as they afford a demonstra tion of the sentiments of a great nation unanimous in support of " its Government in any and every measure which affords prospects of checking the slave trade—so far, certainly, a meeting like yesterday's can not but have its effect. It would least of all be lost on such an acute and instructed observer as the present re presentative in England of the greatest continental power—the power which, we cannot doubt, is destined to take a part similar to our own in the abolition of slavery in her own colonies, and the suppression of the slave-trade universally. (From the Standard.) The debate in the House of Lords last night eli cited some curious phenomena of the administration of justice is the Courts of Equity. It appears pretty plainly that the improvement in the despatch of business bears no proportion to the increase in the number of Courts—as plainly that, notwithstanding the complaints of Lord Eldon's slowness, which we were accustomed to bear while that excellent man and unequalled magistrate held the seals, very little depends upon the habits of the Judge. As respects the increase of Courts, our equi.ty proceedings seem to obey a law very similar to that which governs the motion of projec tiles. Scientific men and practical gunners know that the range of a missile is not extended in the common, but in the subduplicate ratio of the force applied—thus, if a force equivalent to four sends a ball 1000 yards, it will require a force equivalent to 10 to send the same ball 2,000 yards ; and so it seems is the case in the ad ministration of equity. We have now four Judges in equity : less than 16 seem scarcely sufficient to get through the business of the country in half the time now occupied by equity suits, and after all, that would be no very great relief to the suitors, considering the all but infinite duration of these suits. ( From the Courier.) The House of Lords was last night chiefly occupied with the Administration of Justice Bill, to which Lord - I . 3roughum strongly objected in a speech of great length. His chief objection appears to be the large addition of judicial force which the Bid proposes to be made for the disposal of present arrears, as well as to meet the increase of business which the Lord Chancellor apprehends wit be the resent of a greater despatch of cases. \V., how ever, do not exactly feel the force of the learned and elequpet Ex•Chaneellor's objection, for it certainly does appear to us that if the suitors become so nu mernn3 in any Court of Justice or Equity, that the present judicial establishment is unable to give them t h e attention te which they are entitled, and for the dcspalch of which that establishment was instituted, it ought to be rendered equal to the proper discharge of this vary important duty. With respect to the Court of Chancery, if the accumulation of its business cannot be despatched by the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor, we venturetosuggest that it might b e we ll t o i nqu i re befere appointing one or more assistant Judge?, whether a more economical means might not be tried by way of experiment.

FIVE NATIVES PUT TO DEATH BY A BRI TISH OFFICER WITHOUT TRIAL. Head Quarters, Bombay, March 24,1840. At a General Court Martial assembled in Canton ment near Poona, on Monday the 30th day of Decem ber, 1839, and of which Major G. Browne, of her Ma jesty's 41st Regiment, is President ; Lieut. William Gibbard, of the 16th Regiment Native Infantry, was tried on the following charge, viz. : Lieut. William Gibbard, 16th Regiment Native In fantry, placed in arrest, and brought to trial by order of the Commander of the Forces, on the following charge, viz. : For highly irregular conduct, most disgraceful to the character and reputation of an officer, i❑ having betwixt the 22d and 31st December 1838, at or near the village of Kowtannee, within the State of Sawant Warree, when in command of a detachment of troops on duty there, atrociously caused five persons who had been taken prisoners by a party of irregular troops under his command, to be summarily put to death, by being shot, without due authority and warrant for so doing. Adjutant General's Office, Bombay, 27th Sept., 1839. By order of the Commander of the Forces. (Signed) STRATFORD POWELL, Lieut. Col. Adjt. Gen. of the Army. Upon which charge the Court came to the following decision : Finding.—The Court having maturely weighed and considered what has been adduced in support of the prosecution, together with what the prisoner Lieutenant William Gibbard of the 16th Regiment Nativo Infan try has brought forward on his defence, is of opinion that he is guilty of the charge preferred against him, with the exception of the word " atrociously," and that " four" instead of " five" prisoners, as therein specified, were put to death. Sentence.—The Court having found the prisoner guilty, as above specified, does adjudge him, Lieutenant William Gibbard to be dismissed the Honourable Com pany's Service. (Signed) W. OGILvIE, Major, (Signed) G. BROWNE, Judge Advocate General. Major and President. Approved and Confirmed. (Signed) Mos. APMATIoN, Lieut.-General and Commander-in-Chief. RECOMMENDATION OF THE COURT. Having thus performed its painful duty, the Court is anxious to bring to the notice of the Commander of the Forces, some circumstances of an extenuating nature, which authorise its recommending the prisoner to his favourable consideration, viz. the extraordinary orders he received from the Political Superintendent of the Sawant \Varree State ; the evident conviction that he was acting in strict conformity with those orders ; the approbation which be sought and received from the Politi cal Superintendent (under whose orders he acted), from his own immediate Commanding officer,and those with whom he associated, his youth, the activity and zeal he has frequently displayed both prior to. and subsequent to the 2-ith December. 12535, and, finally the high cha ielcter he has received fur humanity and gentleness to wards the natives generally. The above reasons lead the Court to believe that the lamentable error he has fallen into, was one of judgment. only, and therefore to - recommend to the favourable consideration of the Commander of the Forces, feeling assured that the experience ho has so dearly earned, is sufficient security against a recurrence of such a misfortune. (Signed) G. BROWNE, Major and President. REMATIKS BY THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF. The trial in the above case was closed previously to my assuming command of the Army of this Presidency, but circumstances have thrown on me the painful duty of confirming tne finding and sentence, and it is with deep regret I observe, that the proceedings develope matter which ma ke it imp oss ibl e f or one to accede to the recommendation of the Court, or in any way to avoid ,giving fuli effect to the award. I am further concerned to remark, that evidence. re corded in the case imperatively demands that proceed. ings shall be adopted to.vards another officer, that he may have an opportunity of clearing his eonduct, or that the ends of justice, and the interest of the public service, may he vindicated.

But can he do that ? Let the man whose means arc in Chancery answer tins question. Neither is any abatement to be made from my profit, on account of the remoteness of the period st which the account is cloned ; for I have the usufruct and increase in the value of the estate, which every purchaser considers equivalent to the interest of his money, and that even in a compound ratio ; for, besides the annual income the Menaced value of the estate in growing timber, &c., I calculate on the benefit of that general accretion in the value cf land which, co✓nmunibus annis, is sure to occur.— IVoolsack. 11. in 24 years (per price) amounts to 3,2251. by 00,003-322,510/.

OTTER FISHING." Here's one at least," ex claimed le. It was true • he had one of the otters fast ; but the difficulty of holding him was not trifling. The fight was exactly in thu style of a large and heavy fish; first he was down to the bottom of the pool, then with the rapidity of lightning, he rose at another part where he was least expeuted. The contest was one of most singular dexterity on one part, and of strength and agility to• the other. M lejigth the smaller of the two fishermen began to yield, and in a few minutes he was ragg e d by main force to the shore. I now assisted in the fight, but warily, as the little animal bit ferociously at every thing that wa s put tor;ards him.

Yesterday forenoon, between twelve and one, the neigh bourhood of Compton-street, Clerkenwell, was involved in the utmost excitement and consternation, in consequence of a most appalling murder and suicide, which were com mitted by a man named George Gingell, upon himself and his wife. It appears that the deceased persons were observed by some of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood walking along Compton-street, in close conversation, when Gingell seemed to address his wife entreatingly, but she appeared to resist him, until they arrived at the house of Mr. Fox, wheelwright and engineer, situate No. 57, Compton-street, Clerkenwell. Mrs. Gingell rung the bell to alarm her brother, who, with his wife, lodges on the second-floor of Mr. Fox's house, and immediately after she did so Gingell, who was evidently irritated, put his hand into his pocket, pulled out a white-handled razor, and seizing hold of his wife by the head drew the instru ment across her throat, and nearly severed her head from her body, and she fell upon the pavement. He then in stantly with Ihe same weapon inflicted a wound upon his own throat, and fell upon her body. Mrs. Pohl, the sister in-law of Mrs. Gingell, who had heard the bell ring, looked out of the window to ascertain who was at the door, when she saw Mrs. Gingell lying down with the blood gushing from her throat, and she distinctly per ceived Gingell cut his own throat with the razor and fall upon her. Crowds of persons assembled on the spot, where the bodies were lying on the pavement still alive ; a me dical gentleman who was accidentally passing by went to their assistance, but the wounds were so deep that he could render them no service, and information was immediately communicated to the officers of the police station-house, which is adjacent to the spot, when Henry Redman, 224, G division, repaired to the spot with two stretchers, and he, with the assistance of King and other constables, con veyed them to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where they were found to be qnite dead. Sergeant Barton, No 1, E, who was on duty at the station-house in Rosamond-street, as acting inspector, proceeded to the hospital with the par ties, when he searched the bodies of the dec ea sed. I n the female's pocket be found the following letter, which we —o"Myh Dear Wif e —I now wr i te to pro ini at I have pl ace d my c hild ren out, give s t o verbatim inform : yu that but I must say that with parting with my little girl, and losing you, is almost too much for me. If there is anything else that you wish me to do that will contribute to your happiness and comfort I will gladly do it. I hope now my dear wife that you will make up your mind to re turn home, cr send me a line to come and fetch you, as now there will be only you and me ; for I will do every thing in my power to make you happy and comfortable. I don't leave till this day week, when the month is up. I am now coming to work at Uston (Euston) station, Us ton-square, so that I shall be able to come home to all my meals, for then we shall be more happy and com fortable. I shall not look out for any more lodgings until I see you ; you and me shall be now happy and com fortable with ourselves. I have now no more to say at present, but remain your ever affectionate, but, at pre sent, unhappy husband, "GEORGE GINGELL, 28, Wilstead-street, Somer's-town, " May 19, 1840. " P. S.—Do my dear wife come home now at once--for you and I sIL.III now soon be ably to get things all right and comfortable, and I can go more happy to my work, and you will be able to have more leisure time than you had be:ore. There will be nothing now to confine you at home. " Adieu at present." Directed to Mrs. Gingell, at Mrs. Pohl's, Islington terrace, Islington. Scrucant Barton also found the following written scrap of paper from Mrs. Gingell, to her deceased husband : " Gingell,—This is the fourth time of my leaving you, and not with little cause, for I am not agai❑ to be tould that I am a brute to the children, merely leaving them a few cures. So now it is finally tould you it would be when you little expected it. So now I hope you will not trouble me. I have done all that laid in my power to please you but all in vane. So I have nothing on my mind weather you have or not—that you know best about, and i hope that you will get your children better minded, this is the last bit of paper you will ever have from me. " MARY ANN GINGELL." In consequence of these documents, Sergeant Barton, under the directions of. his Superintendent, proceeded to the house of Mr. Pohl, of Islington -terrace, for the purpose of making inquiries, when he ascertained that he was Mrs. Gingeli's father, and that since her ab senco from her husband, she had been living in his house, and was employed at shoe-binding by a tradesman residing in Goswell-street-road. His daughter bad been married to Gingell about twelve months, and during that period he had been in the habit of abusing and ill-treating her. She was 21 years of age, and her husband 40, who having two children, one a boy 10 years old, and a girl 2 ye rs old, by a former marriage, he suspected that they were not properly attended to, which led to frequent disputes and quarrels. He, Gin gall, met his wife (the deceased) accidentally in the street, paid his addresses to her, they married without the consent of him (Mr. Pohl) or her mother. Since she had left him he was in the habit of watching her and dogging her, and pressing her to return and live with him, and on Monday night last he met her and her sister, when they repulsed him, and there is little doubt but yesterday morning he watched her to the house in Goswelltstreet road, for which she was in the habit of working, to entreat her to return and live with him. The police have made inquiries after the children, but have not traced them ; and fears are entertained that the father may have despatched them, as he had at one time shown strong symptoms of madness. About twelve months ago, be and his wife carried on the business of green-grocers near Goswell-street-road, when he was in the habit of getting drunk and ill-treating his wife; and on one occasion, about nine months ago, he attempted suicide by opening a vein in his arm; and Sar geant Barton was called in, when he acted in a most out rageous manner, indicative of madness. Mrs. Gingell was a fine-looking young woman, and re spectably attired. On her was found numerous duplicates for rings and wearing apparel ; and her coral necklace, which was taken off her neck by Sergeant Barton, was clotted with blood. The razor, with which the horrid deeds were perpetrated, was so covered with blood, that when it became dry, the blade could scarcely be drawn from the handle. _ Information of the horrid affair was immediately for warded to Mr. Payne, the City Coroner ; the officers arc busily employed for the purpose of procuring the neces sary evidence, and to trace tlic children of Gingen. The following is the first notice of this dismal tragedy, which we received yesterday as our Paper was going to press. We publish it with the letters of the deceased, in order to justify ourselves for throwing some doubt on the communication, and to show the lamentable state of edu cation in this country, abounding with more Church, more wealth, and more richly-endowed educational charities, than any civilized community ever could boast of : June 2 1840 Compton steet Clarkingwell aßnut parst 12 this four none a man and his wife ad so wourds a she Run over the way to her freinds and he overtoker a cut her throte in street and after cut his on and Borthis Daid the pollese cam with the stretchers and tok Bodeys to the Church DREADFUL GALE. On Monday last the north of Scotland was visited by one of those sudden and disastrous storms which frequently happen at this season of the year. The morning was mild, the wind easy from south-east ; but, as day opened, the sky began to set strong from the west, and at noon it blew a gale from west and by north, which continued till night, when it settled down at northwest, with cold, driz zling sleet. When the gale came away, the fishing-boats along the east coast were nearly all at sea, and for hours, along the whole line, nothing was to be heard but the screams of the women, who were frantic with grief, having no hope that the little barques would outlive the angry storm. The Cove, Findon, and Portlethen boats bad the advantage of the high land, which kept the water comparatively smooth to a considerable distance off, and most of them managed to effect a landing ; but as night set in, two of them were missing, and few expected that they would ever be heard of again. On Tuesday morning, however, they were seen in the offing making for the shore, and, to the unspeakable joy of their relations and friends, they were brought in safely, after having been driven to sea a distance of forty miles. Towards the north, the gale was equally violent, and the coast from Kinnaird's- head; by Cairnbulg, St. Comb's, and Rattray.brigs, being low, afforded no shelter, and we have to record the loss of two fishing-boats belonging . to St. Comb's. They had set out early in the morning, m company with about eighteen others, and had returned to within a short distance from land, when they were drifted seaward, by the violence of the hurricane, to the distance of four miles. The situation of the crews, jointly numbering twelve men, became perilous in the ex. treme, and in a short time they must have found a watery grave, when they were most providentially picked up by the schooner Port Glasgow, of Invern ess, and landed in Aber deen on Tuesday. Ihe two boats were lost ; the others had fortunately reached the shore. Two of the men who were thus saved were slightly hurt in the struggle with the storm. The greatest praise is due to tho Capta in humane 11CVC saved. f ' exertions the lives of the perishing fishermen the Port Glasgow, through whos e FaSERBURGH, MAT 27.—The re is g ood reason to hope that all the men who were at sea in boats on Mond a y are prompt and h safe, although regarding several of them no authentic ac counts are ret yeceived.

Throughout the ballet La Deesse de Danse was enthusiastically applauded. The theatre was crowded. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—Tuesday af ternoon an inquest was held before Mr. Payne, at St. Bartho lomew's Hospital, on the body of Ebenezer Challoner, aged twenty-eight, a bricklayer. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. F. Morgan, builder, of Merstham, Surrey, that deceased, who was in his employ, was engaged in constructing a sca ff o ld in the Merstham tunnel, over the London and Brighton Rail road. On Tuesday week, about four o'clock, witness having heard that an accident had occurred at the tunnel, went thit her and found the deceased lying in it at the bottom of a scaffold which had just given way.

To make the matter complete, la maitresse d'hotel, dressed in gold embroi dery and diamonds, sat at the head of the table, with her face, neck, and arms, painted like a doll. This sort of painting is a national usage, and has been so ever since Russia was in exis tence. Our attendants to the number of forty, were bearded men, dressed in yellow, purple, and party-coloured shirts, tucked up at the wrists, so as to leave half of their arms naked, and without coats or waistcoats. There was a boy who played on the organ, and who, for the permission to do so, paid th e master of the ta ve rn sever al hundred rubles a year, which shows how much the tavern was fiequ nted, and how music is here considered a necessary of life. After coffee, a group of gipsies was brou g ht f or our amusemen t, dressed in gold brocaded sawls, tied on one shoulder, and with ear-rings formed of various coins.

CORRUPTION.—WhiIe corruption is vic:orini S in elective struggles, it is really ,iisgusting to talk of a repre. sentative Parliament. The Tories may by such deb as i ng means gain ma j or iti es out, and consequently majorities in, the house of Commons ; but to maintain that such a House is, as William Pitt said it ought to be, " an assembly truly elected, between whom and tic mais of the people there is the closest union and mo s t perf ec t sympathy;" is a cruel mockery, an out rage on truth and common sense.— Hereford Times, MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of June 2.) TEA.--In the early part of last week there was a good demand for Free Trade Tea, and prices were firmer; for Common Congou for cash 2s lid to 2s 2d was currently paid, and 23 2d to 2s 21el for ordinary Twankay. In Com pany's Congou a good deal of business was done at 2s 22d to 2s 3d for cash; but towards the close of the week ac counts being received stating that all the English vessels had not left China, as was expected, without cargoes, but some had sailed already laden, amongst which was the Thomas Coutts, the Slains Castle, the Ann, and the Harbinger, ehecked the demand for Tea, and the market was very quiet on Friday and Satur day for all kinds; prices declined to 2; Id for common Free Trade Congou for cash, 2s lid to 2s 2d for Twan kay, and 2s 12d for Company's Congou. The deliveries during the last week have been 330,000 lbs. of Tea. At the public sale yesterday of Tea, imported per Alex ander Baring and Pekoe, from Hong Kong, and by several other ships, for export only, there was a good muster of the trgutie ; at the opening it was, however, evident that they would not even pay the reduced rates which were accepted in the market towards the close of the week; lout the merchants showing a disposition to sell at prices the trade were inclined to pay, led to the disposal of nearly all that passed the sale of Tea imported direct the decline on last sales rates amounts to 2d to 2.id on Congou, 3d on Hyson, and 2d to 3d on Souchong and all other descriptions. out of 7,000_ packages put up to the hammer. 6,0000 were actually disposed of, the chief part Congou of good and fine quality.

The market for Company's Congou has become unusually dull, and prices since Saturday have given way lid to 2d per lb, 2s to 2s ofd having been accepted for small parcels for cash. To-day there was more life in the Tea market, and prices appear to have seen their lowest at least for the pre sent. In Company's Cengou several purchases were made at 2s id to 2s Id for cash. Free Trade was in better re quest, and nearly the whole of 4,113 chests Congou at auc tion were disposed of at prices equal to those of yester day within Zd to id per lb, the reduction thus esta blished appears to have caused some of the large houses to operate; Congou, but middling blackish leaf rather coarse fetched 2s 2d to 2; 21d, and j2s 3d, but mid blackish leaf, rather strong burnt Pekoe flavour 23 3i-d to 2s 34d, but mid to mid -even blackish leaf 2;34d to 2s 4d, but mid blackish leaf full flavour 2s 4d to 2s 54d, rather preferable 2s 4id to 2s 4id, mid blackish leaf rather strong and full burnt Pekoe flavour 2s 42d to 2s 44d ; 135 chests fail Congou, withdrawn from former sales sold at 23 ld for cash on Saturday ' • and 27 chests Twankay 2 ; 24el per lb, but for mid rather fresh.
