The Lords met at Five o'clock. Several petitions were presented, and The 4riny Enlistment Bill was read a first time, after which their Lordships adjourned. The Commons met at Four o'clock. On the motion of Mr. HUME, the Speaker was requested to prepare, and lay before the House, a table of fees payable to the officers of the House on Private Bills, as recommended by the Committee on Private Business. In reply to Mr. Hiner, it was stated by Lord J. Russinx that the education grant this year would be given according to the former rules, and the rainute of December, 1846. kiisswer to Mr. MUNTz, Lord J. RUSSELL said that Ler MAJESTY had determined to mark her sense of the gallant conduct of the Spanish captain, who had rescu e d the survivors from the wreck of the Tweed, by directing Lord AUCKLAND to propose to him the aceeptance of a medal, on which should be recolded the services he had renderel to the survivors of that unfortunate shipwreck, and to over him at the same time the sum of 500/. gr. B. BeCOTT abandoned his Bill for the remission of the duties on butter and cheese. On the oriar of the day for the thirl reading of the rom sew' (Ireland) Bill being read, Mr. CORRY declared that he should give his decided opposition to the Bill. The House was subsequently addressed by Mr. F. French, Lord Jocelyn, Mr. Trelawny, Sir W. James, Mr. P. Scrope, Colonel Verner, Sir E. Cole brooks, Mr. Adderley, Mr. Villiers, Mr. Morgan John O'Connell, Mr. Labouchere, Mr. Goulburn, Lord J. Russell, and several other Hon. Members. Eventually the Bill, as amended, was read a third time and passed. The other orders of the day having been disposed of, the House adjourned at Half-past Twelve o'clock. Exactly one week ago we commented upon the distinguished gallantry and the humane promptitude evinced by Captain BERNARDINO CAMP, in rescuing the survivors of a British steam-ship from their perilous situation on the Alacranes. In expressing our admiration for the behaviour of that young officer, we likewise expressed our solicitude that his brave and magnanimous conduct should receive some acknowledgment, however inadequate, from the Government of these islands. We conceived that some testimony for services of such spontaneous and gra tuitous generosity was required, both as a proof that the character of BERNARDINO CAMP was appreciated in this country, and that its inhabitants sympathised to the uttermost with those emotions of gratitude which filled the bosoms of the individuals saved from destruc tion. We anticipated that some mark of approbation would proceed from the Executive worthy at once of Great Britain and of Captain CAMP. Our expecta tions have, in a great measure, been fulfilled, and we rejoice—cordially and heartily rejoice —that they have been fulfilled with such alacrity. BERNARDINO CAMP requires no panegyric, no commemorative marble, no remunerative gold. Whatever substan tial recompense he could receive, at all adequate to his magnanimity, he has long since acquired ten fold; he has received the internal consolation of having proved himself a true-hearted man, and has acquired for his name a very enviable celebrity in both hemispheres. That is the consolation which he has already obtained in abundance. But some thing more than this was required for the credit of our common humanity ; some expression of admiration, if not of gratitude, was demanded from the English Government. It has been readily and nobly pronounced by the lips of the Prime Minister in the Commons' House of Parliament. " Her MAJESTY'S Government," said Lord JOHN RUSSELL, " has received with the greatest satisfaction the ac count of the heroic conduct of Captain BERNARDINO CAMP, and Lord AUCKLAND has been charged by her MAJESTY to express to that Spanish captain the great sat!sfaction with which her MAJESTY has heard of his conduct, and to pro pose to him to accept a medal, upon which shall be recorded the service he hal rendered to the survivors of the unfortunate ship Tweed, and stating the date of the transaction." The announcement thus made by the Premier was welcomed with the applause it merited, and the cheering became " loud and con tinued" when Lord JOHN added to the foregoing— "lt is also proposed that a grant of 5001. shall be made to Captain CAMP, in any shape which may be most acceptable to himself, to show the feeling en tertained by her MAJESTY'S Government of the con duct of that most excellent and gallant officer." This is well. It is precisely what was demanded by the occasion, and is as gracefully done as it is ad mirably deserved. Other authorities are endeavouring, by the present& tion of purses and medallic offerings, to convey to the Commander of the brig Emilio, to his worthy mate Don VILLAVERDE, to his subordinate helpmates, and his crew, some notion of the admiration which they have severally and collectively excited. From pri vate individuals, from public companies, from the Parliamentary representatives, from the Ministers of the Crown, from our Moat Gracious SOVEREIGN her self these sentiments of admiration have proceeded, and through the medium of the press they have ob tained utterance and diffusion. It is well that some degree of enthusiasm should be exhibited in circum stances of this description ; it is well, because an enthusiasm so commendable and beneficial must act as an incitement in all future cases of peril, while it must, assuredly, convey to the susceptible disposition of such an one as BERNARDINO CAMP a peculiar and supreme satisfaction. And who would be solicitous to diminish by one iota the satisfaction of so brave and gallant a sailor ? Who would not be desirous to add, though it were but in a degree correspondent to the thickness of a hair, to the pleasurable emotions derivable therefrom ? It is left to the selection of Captain CAMP, as the First Lord of the Treasury observed, in what manner the Government grant of 5001. shall be applied to his advantage. We would suggest that, preferable to any pecuniary bounty whatever, would be his advancement (if possible) to rank in the Spanish naval service. Similar promo tions have frequently rewarded meritorious officers in the English merchant service, and the Admiralty have thereby ensured more than once an appreciable accession to the talent and valour of the royal navy. We are satisfied that a single communication to the marine administrator of Queen ISABELLA IL would lead directly to the proposed advancement. Under all arrangements, however, Captain BERNARDINO CAMP has been rewarded by the acknowledgments of her Britannic MAJESTY ; and, beyond that, he has ensured respect and affection for his name wherever it shall henceforth be pronounced. The House of Commons was again last night chiefly engaged on the affairs of Ireland, as it has been, with very few exceptions, since the opening of Parliament. Two measures of no ordinary import ance to the welfare and prosperity of the sister king dom received their third readings and the final sanction of the representatives of the people. With the exception of some few amendments and alterations, proposed by the Home Secretary in pursuance of pledges given by him during the progress of the measure, and which were carried sub silentio, there was no change in the " Irish Poor-law Bill" since the report of the Committee was brought up, neither was there any division, or attempt to throw it out or to weaken its efficacy. The Member for Dublin was indeed anxious to have introduced two clauses, in order to provide a remedy for a grievance to which his constituents might be sub jected, but at once yielded to an intimation from the Speaker of the irregularity of imposing a new burden on unions which had not been instituted by any exist ing clause of the Bill at that stage of the proceedings. The subject, too, was one of peculiar difficulty, and one on which the greatest variety of opinion exists, in volving that vexata questio, the law of settlement. The Secretary for the Home Department assured the ilon. Gentleman that the subject should engage the serious attention of the Government. Some provi sion, indeed, is required to prevent cruel and heartless men from driving to destitution and misery their pauper tenants, or casting upon other and more humane persons the duties and responsibilities from which they would gladly free themselves by any means, per fas aut nefas. The extraordinary expenditure that has now to be borne by the people of Liverpool, in consequence of that which has been justly termed the Irish invasion, and the great pro bability that similar burdens will fall upon the rate payers of the principal seaport towns on the eastern side of Ireland, afford the strongest proof of the absolute necessity for attentive consideration and well-matured legislation on the subject. Many Mem bers, however, took occasion to enlighten the House and the country with their opinions, and the usual differences were manifested. The chief points introduced during the discussion that took place were, first, the principle of out-door re lief under any circumstances, which was condemned in the strongest terms by the Member for the county of oTyrone,re who declared " that the measure was conceived in the reckless spirit of a gambler than with the calmness of a statesman " Yet, notwithstanding this sweeping invective,wefi. ndisupo of every partthatp,rt of it has obtained the all b ut unanimousgs y and t sol feeling tempting pockets are not di rectly e would whose a f course, have be en impossible to resist lI subject. The gold en apple flung amongstthe rival deities on Mount Ida was no t more certain of dissension, than the topic of out-d oor relief introd uc ed s into an assembly which numbered a mongst Members a sprinkling of Irish landlords. The' opportunity was not thrown away, and at least a dozen speeches were made on the subject during the evening. The Home Secretary most ably defended the clause that empowered the granting of such relief, and proved the good effects of its adoption to the House, by the exertions that have been already made in order to afford increased employment to the people, and passed a well-merited eulogium on the address recently issued by the Landlord and Tenant Association of the county of Wexford, to which we have already directed the public attention. The Premier also vindicated the Bill from the attacks made on it by the Archbishop of DUBLIN, and proved that his Grace had wholly misconceived the nature and purport of the law, and " had frighted the isle from its propriety" without any sufficient justification. His Lordship also showed that the clause proposed by the Noble Member for Lynn, although it might answer in this country, would be wholly unsuited for Ireland, and that practically the tenant would have to pay the full rent, with the burden of the poor-rate in addition. Some useful remarks were made by Captain FITZAIAUBICE 011 Irish affairs in general, although scarcely relating to the subject of the discussion. The Landed Property (Ireland) Bill was the other measure which occupied the House. Two amend ments were proposed, for the purpose of bringing the erection of corn-mills with the r.ecessary build ings and water-courses, and also substantial farm houses and buildings, within the scope of the Bill ; but each proposition was negatived by a considerable majority.. The first would certainly appear rather an undue interference with commercial speculation, although the estates of individual proprietors might possibly be benefited. Neither provision would come within or attain the great object of the measure, viz., " the permanent improvement of the land throughout the country." The Army Service Bill was on Thursday read a third time in the House of Commons. So far as the representatives of the people are concerned, there fore, the principle has been fully recognised and adopted, notwithstanding the unmitigated hostility and the strenuous opposition exhibited towards it in every stage of its progress, and on every possible opportunity, by some of the military Members in tie House. Many others, however, who have served _ _ efficiently, and were fully competent to decide on any question relating to the service, rendered the most valuable aid in its progress, and bore their strongest testimony to the propriety, justice, and expediency of the proposed change. The chief feature in the proceedings was, that the Secre tary-at-War divided the Bill into two parts; for the present omitting all relating to the deferred pen sions and the regulations respecting the enrolment and duties of the pensioners. The Bill now merely relates. to the limitation of service. It provides that no persons shall be permitted to enlist for more than twelve or ten years for the cavalry and infantry re spectively—that on the expiration of these terms they may, if approved of by the commanding officer, or other competent military authority, be re enlisted for a further term of twelve or eleven years, and that the soldier's term may be prolonged for such further period not exceed ing one year in time of peace, or two years in time of war, as shall be directed by the commanding officer on any foreign station. Any soldier, however, may be continued in the service so long as he shall desire; and for three months after he shall have served notice on his commanding officer, of his wish to be dis charged. The part relating to pensions is, however, only postponed, as it will be brought forward as a separate Bill ; and from what fell from the PAEMIER in the course of the debate, we may hope that additional advantages will be conferred in the shape of pensions on deserving soldiers. It was satisfactory to hear that the present was only one of many measures by which the Gcvernment hoped to make the condition of the soldier more satisfactory to the men who entered the army, and more in confor mity with the improved spirit of the age. This is a cheering announcement. The Ministry have, indeed, already afforded the strongest proofs of their anxiety to improve the service ; they have effected many valuable reforms, and it is satisfactory to hear from the highest authority that they intend to persevere in their improvements and amelioration. They have practically abolished the degrading and infamous practice of corporal pu nishment—they have promoted a larger proportion of meritorious men from the ranks, than had ever for merly been the case : thus holding out that induce ment to good conduct which is far more efficacious than the most stringent regulations and severest pu nishments; and by the present measure they have brought forward a system calculated to obtain a bet ter class of men—persons who will maturely consider the relative advantages and disadvantages of a soldier's life, and who will be willing to try the ex periment, because they will be aware, that in case they should dislike it on trial, they may look forward to a time when they can demand their discharge, as a matter of right, while their strength is yet in full vigour and maturity. Surely a person of this description is more desirable as a soldier, and far more likely to be satisfied with his position, than one who has reek iessly and inconsiderately taken a step by which he is bound for the full term of his life, and - who, if discontented with his lot, either becomes addicted to intemperate habits and nearly useless, or deserts, from a feeling of despair at his hopeless situation. The Hon. and Gallant Member for Liverpool again brought forward his thrice repeated, and as many times refuted objections to the measure. The Gallant Officer who seconded the amendment, used the hack nied argument, " that none but military men were competent to form an opinion on the subject," and went even to the length of asserting " that a drummer of 14 years of age, was just as competent to give an opinion on a decision of the Lord Chancellor's, as the House of Commons, on matters relating to the discipline of the army." This ridiculous assump tion was well answered by the Secretary at War, who exposed the obstinacy with which every altera tion has been resisted ; and added, " that officers must forgive him for saying, that he would mention several instances of changes which had been adopted much to the improvement of the army, but which, when proposed, had received very unequivocal oppo sition from the older officers of the service." It now remains for the House of Lords to pronounce their fiat on the measure, and, doubtless, they will, before so doing, hear from the Iron Duke himself, his opinions on the subject—opinions which are entitled to much weight, and which the greatest exertions were made to bring to light prematurely. We trust that those who asserted, that if those opinions should be in accordance with the provisions of the Act, it would be conclusive in its favour, may not forget their own declarations during its progress through the Upper House. Last night the Bill, as finally settled in the Com mons, was introduced to their Lordship, and had its first reading. The discussion on the second reading was fined for Monday week. The Augsburg Gazette has the following from Turin, dated the 3d :—" Count MORTIER, the French Ambassador, has addressed to our Government an energetic remonstrance against the sending of arms to Catalonia for the Carlists." We learn from Rome, 3d instant, that great dis tress continued to prevail amongst the poor of that city, in consequence of the high price of bread. The POPE, however, had just ordered the sale of wheat at a much lower rate than the market price, paying the difference from his own purse. The Infante Don HENRY had arrived in that city, and assumed the incognito of Viscount D'ALCOLEA. He was still ac companied by 111dlle. DE CASTELLAR and her brother. Intelligence has been received from Lisbon of the 10th, and from Oporto of the 11th inst., by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Mon trose, which arrived at Southampton on Friday evening. The expeditionary force which 'sailed for Oporto under the command of SA DA BAIiDEIRA, landed at Faro on the 31st ult. It consists of 1,500 men, and SA DA BANDEIRA, who commands it, has been ap pointed by the Junta Commander-in-Chief of all the forces south of the Tagus. The forces under his command in Alemtejo will n o t f a ll f ar s h or t o f 5,000 men. H e was to marc h f rom F aro on Evora on the c 't o th ns i e n a s ua t e . tnsc A et.

Tw o o f t h e Minister sta tionedaneder in 8, the Count TOJAL THE SUN, LONDON, SATURnAY EVENING, AY and Don MANOEL DE PORTUGAL, waited on the British Ambassador on the 9th, and stated that they every moment expected a popular outbreak in Lisbon, and that if the British marines were not landed to quell it, the Government must fall. It is said that the reply of the British Ambassador was, that the pro tection of the British forces would be readily given to the Royal Family, should any attack be made on them, but that they would take no part in opposing any movement having for its object a mere change in the administration, without menacing the existing dynasty. The Black Cat, laden with arms and ammunition for the forces of the Junta, had arrived at Oporto. She brought six pieces of heavy ordnance and 1,500 stand of arms. The price of bread in Lisbon was from 55 reis to 60 reis per lb., and the discount on , the Bank of Lis bon notes, 52 per cent. Madrid papers of the 10th have arrived. A Board of Agriculture and Commerce, under the Presidency of the Minister of Commerce, has been appointed. - General SERRANO left Madrid on the 10th for Arjanilla, near Pdalaga. One of the papers states that ESPARTERO has been nominated a senator, and that it has been determined to recognise all the ranks and decorations which he had accorded to him during his Regency. 14!ADRID BOLSA, APRIL 10.—The Three per Cents. closed at 321 for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 201 ; the Debt without interest at 6; and the Coupons at 17. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The National attacks the Government with extreme bitterness for having permitted the execution of the three men who were sentenced to death for the corn riots at Buzengais. The sentence was carried into effect on the 12th instant at Buzencais, which was occupied during the day by a large military force. The elections of Quimperle and Quimper are over. M. DE CARNE was returned for Quimperle, and M. JUDELIN for Quimper. Both Deputies are Minis terialists. It is reported that General DI LA CONCHA has succeeded in bringing about an arrangement between France, bpain and England for a joint intervention in Portugal. " On Tuesday," says the Union Monarchique, "M. Guizot returned to Lord Nortnaoby the dinner which his Lordsh'p had coffered to him a month ago, afer the ajustment of the difference which had long exiited he tw,en those two personages. Amongst the persons in vited were; Lord and Lady Granville, Count and Countess de Tancarville, M. de Kisscleff, Cf!arge d'Affaires of Russia, the Grand Ch,ncellor Pasquicr, M. Sauzet, Pre sident of the Chnn bur of Deputies; and 141. Bresson, Ambassador of France at Madrid. Everybody was struck with the amiability and polite attention evinced by the latter towards Lord Norinanby and the other Engli:h guests of M. Guizot. M. Bresson's demeanour on that occasion was held to confirm his reported desire to replace Count do St. A ulaire in London." It would seem, however, that the desire of M. BRESSON will not be gratified, as it has been decided that the Due DE BROGLIE is to succeed the Comte DE ST. AULAIRE as Ambassador at the Court of London. " The price of wheat," says the Refornie, " increased by 3f. or 4f. per sack in the Paris market on Wednesday.

ROLLS' COURT.- - (TH I S DAY.) OV.ZEbTWOOD V. PYNXY. This was a suit instituted against the widow and the infant heir-at-law of a Mr. Greenwood, who died intestate. It appeared that the intestate was brother to the late plAintitf, who was entitled to a legacy of 3,000/. ; 2,5001. of which bad been paid into a private bank to the credit of the intestate, as well as 400/., which had been paid into a batik at Exeter, to the credit of the same party.

This was an action tried at the last assizes for the county of Stafford, before Mr. Justice Mettle, when a verdict was entered for the pl. , intiff for the sum of 6001. Mr. WNATELY moved fur a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a new trial had on the ground of the misdirection of the Learned Judge. It was an action on a contract, by which the plaintiff agreed to sell and the defendant to purchase 2,000 tons of merchantable railway bars, the section of the bars to be of any length the buyer might require, and to be delivered before the Ist of March, 1846. 8001. to be paid to the plaintiff on or before the 20th October, 1845. The plaintiff was an iron manufacturer in the county of Stafford, and the defendant a merchant, in the City of London. It appeared that the defendant gave a section in the specification rather different from that which the plain tiff agreed to furnish by the contract, and the Learned Counsel contended that the Learned Judge in putting the case to the jury, misdirected on the point as this addition to the section did not nullify the obligation imposed on the plaintiff to supply the bars referred to in the contract. The CouaT would take time to consider. ALEXANDER V. BOOKER. This was an action tried before the Lord Chief Baron, on the 16th of February last, at Guildhall, when a verdict was given for the plaintiff. Mr. WATSON moved for a rule to show cause, why the verdict should not be set aside. an 4 a nensuit entered ; and why the verdict should not be set aside, and plaintiff pay defendant the cost of the trial of, and occasioned by awards, the declaration with liberty to defendant to plead de novo, or why a new trial should not be had. This was an action which arose out of a sale of Egyptian beans by defendant to plaintiff, but which plaintiff contended were not Egyptian beans, nor of a merchantable quality. Rule Granted. COMMON PLEAS.--(THIS DAY.) SITTLNIGS IN BANCO. NICHOLLS V. ROSS. This was an action brought on the infringement of a patent for a braiding machine, and was tried at pqadhall, when a verdict was entered for defendant on some issues, and for plaintiff on others.

Its liabilities on account of seven-day and other bills have also been rather increased, and there is a large augmentation of private deposits, as is often the case after the dividend payments. On the other hand, it has less bullion and a smaller reserve of notes, but has obtainsd a transfer (from the Savings' Bank Commissioners it is stated) of a large amount of stock as security for its advances to Government, which is evidently still heavily drawn upon by Irelard, besides having had the dividends to pay. We shall see by next Friday's return how much of the 1,584,3651. of stock thus added to the creditor side of the Banking account has been sold or lent, and whether the Bank has received payment to any extent in its own notes.

The Spring Meeting, on Epaorn Downs, the second under a management which seems resolved upon doing things on a grand scale, " came off" yesterday with the most brilliant success, a result ascribable in seine measure, no doubt, to the fineness of tie weather, but chiefly to ths extraordinary improvement in s he charsca r of the stakes offered for competition. On the sport, a e need not dwell here, it will be seen that, notwithstanding the abuse so liberally oestowed upon the a audieap, large field of horses came to the pest, and that, although not of the highest grade imaginable, they offered as good and exciting a race as if one and all had boasted the blood and capabilities of an Eclipse. The attractions of the list were not confined to this rich prize; it was backed up by Sir Gilbert Heathcote's Trial plate, a respectable two-year-old stake, and two other races in heats, composing a bill of fare that afforded ample scope for speculation, and left the most ravenous turtite nothing to wish for. Previous to entering into the s details of the business of the day, two or three al terations which have been made since our last visit to the Downs should be noticed. The Metropolitan Han dicap, as run fur last year, was a stake of 10 sovereigns each, p.p., with 300 added, and the distance run, starting near the house of Sir G. Heath cote's trainer, and finishing at the usual place, one mile and a quarter. The race brought to an issue yesterday was assimi lated to the great.handicaps at other meetings, being a Sweepstakes of 25 sovs. each, 15 ft; only 5, if declared, &c. The bonus contributed by the innkeepers of the metropolis and their friends, amounted to 5001.; and the net value of the stake to the winner, clear of de ductions for second and third horses, &c., realised 1,6451., exceeding the stake in 1846, by 8201. The course, too, was different, instead of one mile and a quar ter, it was two miles and a quarter. The horses starting at the winning chair, proceeding up the course to the road, turning out of it to the right, going over the hill, with a wide sweep, and into the old course again at the mile post, thus running in sight all the way. We have heard opiteons expressed in favour of the course run last year. We confess to a leaning that way. The new one is not only trying for horses, but of necessity gives experienced jockies an immense advantage over the light weights. The company, however, appeared to be quite satisfied with things as they found them, and certainly a more generally interesting race has not been witnessed, even on Epsom Downs. It had the effect of nearly filing the grand stand, and of atti acting the most numerous assemblage ever seen on Epsom Downs on any other than a Derby or Oaks day ; the lessee was thus enabled to realise a trifle towards a very heavy outlay for improvements in the stand and on the course. The executive" was the same as last year. Mr. Clark occupied the chair he has Su long and so helmet ably filled ; Mr. Hibbard was start( r, and ?dr. Alaneing clerk of the scales. '1 his staff is now erga,ged at almost every .meeting of note, aed to mention that their several (luta s were sa tisfactorily performed is not merely an act of justice to them, but is necessary in order to show stewards and race committees how easy it is to propitiate the owners of race horses by availing themselves of the services of those who are above ail suspicion, aed of whose evseigy net a doubt can be entertained. Gee minor feature in the arrange rng nts remains to be noticed—we mean the refreshment department, In the: to intrust, d to that experienced caterer, Mr. Carless; this is now under the control of Mr. .Lumley, of Epsom, whose " initiative" was highly creditable to himself and satisfactory to the public. The racing commenced at half-past one, half-an-hour later than was originally proposed. Owing to this, the heats, and the loss of time occasioned by the restiveness of Pell Mell, it was nearly seven before the company e ere enabled to commence a dusty and bitterly cold journey homewards. Time will not permit us to extend our remarks further than to observe, that Clermont proved how different running in dirt is from running en good ground, by winning the Metropolitan Handicap, after a remarkably flue race with Wolfdog and Brother to Stitch, and netting for his owner and party a large sum in bets. Amongst the company congregated in the stand, were—The Duke of Richmond, Lords March, Chester field, Maidstone, A. Lennox, G. Lennox, H. Lennox, Suffield, Strathmore, G. Manners, IL Fitzroy, and E. Russell, Count Bathyany, Hon. Captain Row, Colonel Anson H. Pitt, G. Byng, E. M os ty n , C o l one l P ee l, Colonel Knox, Messrs. Greville, Payne, Meiltlam, Pal mer, Neville, G.

Brother to Stitch cut out the work at a good pace, followed by Hannah itaine, and the Ereeral Isle, Cro zier, Pine apple, Clermont, and some other light weights lying up, and the heavy weights in the centre ; very little change was observable until they came round the turn near tne mile Post, where Hannah Raine gave way, and the Emend Isle running out to the left knocked down two or three of the posts, got the rope under her legs, and only by a miracle escaped falling—this put her out of the race. Brother to Stitch still led at a good pace, followed by Pine-apple, Clermont filling the third place to the distance, where Pine-apple giving way he became second. Wolfdog, who had been drawing gradually towards the front after making the turn was third half of the distance, and at the stand, simulta neously with Clermont, challenged Bro. to Stitch; a very exciting race ensued, Clermont winning it by a neck only, and Wolf-dog having just tho same advantage over Brother to Stitch, Gwalior finished an indifferent fourth, Crozier a bad filth, and Pine -Apple sixth; the others beaten off.
