The race was as fine a one as ever was seen. The course, which was situated near the Croix de Berny, consisted of two small circles, connected together by a long straight piece of country ; the circlo next the %in ning-post was along the side of a hill, and could all be viewed by the spectators. Right in front of the winning post was the brook, the great leap of the day, and after the horses had cleared it they went up the country, rounded the other circle, and came straight home. At starting Matchless took the lead, Gazely second, St. Leger in the ruck behind. Atone of the fences in mounting the side of the hill, Switcher refused, but his rider driv ing him at it, forced him through. They then all came down the hill nearly together, having to clear four or five fences and a wall in their way.

We are enabled to give the following principal provi sions of the newly projected law for the douanes, which was distributed on Sunday to the Deputies, together with the provisions of the projected enactments relative to the repeal of many prohibitions, to the re-establish ment of certain rights. to the free admission of a large number of articles in the tariff, to facilitate the construc tion of m erchant-vessels, to the conclusion of two com mercial treaties, and to some particulars of order and practice. After having stated in the preamble that in authoris ing the establishment of different associations under the titles of Free-trade, Protection of National Industry, &c., the Government wished that those questions should be discussed and made familiar to the public, as was fitting among a free people, and declares that it wishes to pursue a progressive course, while keeping equally clear of either extreme, and accomplishing its advance in such prudent ways as to avoid any shock to the inte rests of the national industry. Consequently, while awaiting the period when every branch of the national industry shall have had time to acquire so great development as to be able to compete, on equal terms, with its foreign rivals, the Government considers that it ought to restrict itself, for the present, to the following modifications of the protective system. The prohibition is to be withdrawn upon the following articles, the an flexed import duties being substituted:— PROPOSED DUTY IN FUTURE. Duty the same as that of coffee imported from Euro ean countries. 2. Rock crystal, manufac- 2f. p per kilogramme. tured. 3. Cnrcuma, ground. 50f. per 100 kilogrammes. 4.

French vessels otherwise, 40f. per kilogramme. By foreign vessels, 50f. By the projected measure it is also intended to erase the titles of 1.13 articles from the tariff, that is to say, to permit their entrance free of duty, whatever be the c,untry or mode of importation; 185 other articles were also freed from prohibition, but conditionally—some whenever they should arrive in French vessels or by land carriage, others if imported exclusively under the French flag. The 4th article of the measure, relating to the com mercial treaty with Russia, runs thus:— " Throughout the duration of the treaty concluded on September 16th. 1846, between France and Russia, all Russian vessels coming loaded directly from Russian ports, or if in ballast, from any port, shall enjoy in all ports belonging to France the same privileges as native vessels, for the importation of all products of the Russian soil or manufactures ; as also fur all dues on tonnage, pilotage, harbour, quarantine, and other incidental charges on shipping. Except as regard Russian vessels coming, loaded or in ballast, from the Black Sea or the Sea of Aeoff into any port of France!' By the 7 th article the port of Rouen is included among the harbours selected by the law of February 9th, 1832, as receptacles for prohibited merchandise of every de scription.—Chronicle. REMARKABLE' FIRE IN SHOREDITCII.—Last even ing, shortly before six o'clock, an accident of a very singular character, and which occasioned considerable excitement in the neighbourhood, took place in High street, Sliorediteh, nearly facing the Eastern Counties Railway terminus. It appears that a number of men were engaged in unloading a waggon filled with pun cheons of turpentine. One of the immense casks hiving been attached to a crane belonging to Messrs. Gabey and Wells, wholesale oilmen, and had been drawn up some distance, when, by some mishap the head of the puncheon came out, and the whole of its contents fell to the ground. A lad, who was standing by, was in the act of lighting a cigar with a lucifer match, and the vapour of the turps coming in contact with the light, the whole of the 120 gallons of spirits became ignited, and the flames rose in one immense sheet upwards of twenty feet, setting on fire the shop front and side doors of the defunct Parcels Post depot. At the same time the sheet of flame was drawn under the archway at the side of Messrs. Gabey's oil stores, and for some time it was feared that those premises would have been de stroyed. A number of the inhabitants and several of the men employed on the premises rendered essential aid, and succeeded in getting the fire extinguished, but not until considerable damage was done to the premises numbered 223, and the whole of the turpentine de stroyed. Such was the alarm created in the district, that messengers were dispatched in all directions for the engines. Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent of the brigade, and Mr. Fogo, the foreman of the A section. quickly attended with four engines, but, fortunately, their services were not required. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN THE EDGWARE-ROAD.-- Last night, at ten o'clock, a destructive fire broke out in the New Small Debts Court, 112, Edgware-road. The first discovery was made by the police-constable on the beat, who immediately raised an alarm, and sent a messenger for the engines. The two parish engines quickly arrived, and there being an abundant supply of water at hand, no time was lost in setting them at work, but the flames were already issuing through the windows and roof with such fury as to threaten with destruction the whole of the surrounding property. The engines of the brigade, Sic., followed, and were set to work from the most commanding positions, but, notwithstanding, the fire continued to burn upwards and downwards, so that it was not until nearly twelve o'clock that the fire men could obtain the mastery over the destructive ele ment. By that period the whole of the upper portion of the building was destroyed, and lower part nearly burnt out. The backs of some of the houses in Cha pel-street are damaged, but fortunately not to any great extent. The premises numbered 111, in the occupancy of Messrs. Howitt and Co., silk mercers, have also sus tained some damage; and those belonging to Mr. Hedges, harness maker, No. 109. The whole of the parties are insured in the Union, Phcenix, and County Fire-offices. The origin of the disaster could not be ascertained. It appears, however, that some workmen had been em ployed during the day in getting the court ready for opening on Wednesday next, and it is supposed that tey must have left the fires improperly extinguished. EASTER TERM EXAMINATION.—The examiners of persons applying to be admitted attorneys have ap pointed Tuesday, the 27th of April, at half-past nine in the forenoon, at the Hall of the Incorporated Law Society in Chancery-lane, to take the examination. The articles of clerkship an d a ssignment, if a n y, w i t h answers to the questions as to due service, according to the regulations approved by the judges, must be left on or before Thurs day, the 22d inst., at the Law Society's. office. Where the articles have not expired, but will expire during the term, the candidates may be examined conditionally, but the articles must be left within the first seven days of term, and answers up to that time. Colonel Anson had an interview with Sir George , Grey yeoterday at the Home-office, PRICE SD. ST. MARYLEBONE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION DINNER. The members and friends of the St. Marylebone Pro tection Association, to the number of about a hundred, assembled at the Eyre Arms, St. John's Wood, last evening, to celebrate the success with which the local objects of the Association had been pursued, in the re duction of certain burdensome, unnecessary, and, it seems, illegal taxes ; and in the increase, at the same time, of the benefit which the public derived from better paving, lighting, and cleansing on the thoroughfares of the surrounding neighbourhood. Mr. Goslin, the active proprietor of the Eyre Arms, was employed as caterer for the convivialities of the even ing, and judging by what we saw, and heard, and felt, judging by our own satisfaction after dinner, and the expressions which the like feeling drew from the other guests, a better choice could not have been made. The tables were laid out with great good taste, and after wards loaded with what could most agreeably meet a good appetite, and not offend a fastidious taste. In short, the dinner was capital, the wines very good indeed ; the puntuality and attention of the servitors all that could be wished ; and the toastmaster, Mr. 'Wheeler, will certainly add to his patrons, by the excellent discharge of his office last night. Benjamin B. Cabbell, Esq. was in the chair ; sup ported by W. P. Carter, Esq., barrister ; Charles French, Esq., James Russell, Esq., William Collins, Esq., Jos. Angell, Esq., Alex. Ridgway, Esq., Jos. Haynes, Esq., Captain Sparshott, R.N., Jos. Rawlins, Esq., bar rister, James Rusford, Esq., John Vandall, Esq., and other gentlemen, sat down to dinner with their nume rous friends at half-past six o'clock. After dinner the " Non nobis " was sung with good effect by Messrs. Packington and Wild and Master ' Cook. Then followed the usual toasts— " The Queen."—National anthem. " Prince Albert, Albert, Prince of Wales, and the Royal Family."—Glee, " Here's a health to the Prince and the Queen." " The Army and Navy." —Duet by Packington and Wild, " Oh give me the tented field." Responded to by Captain Sparshott. The CHAIRMAN, in-giving " Success to the St. Mary lebone Protection Association," said they had now come to the business of the evening for which he therefore begged the attention of the company, for although their meet ing had been of a convivial nature, he might with justice say that conviviality was not the sole object and had not been the sole result. He confessed he gave the toast with a feeling of mingled pleasure and regret— pleasure because they bad something as an association worthy to be protected—but of regret because that some thing which they hold worthy was in danger and needed their protection. That was their case then. In a fair country they had equal rights and ought to have equal rates ; they had met and asso ciated themselves to protect these equal rights and to destroy the very appearance of inequality. He said, after the parish of St. Marylebone began to emerge from the condition of a mere rural village an enactment was passed for the lighting, watching, and pavi ng ; b ut as the suburbs extend e d i t was found that a new rate for those thinly populated parts would be necessary. That was called, levied as a highway rate to the amount of 4d. Another Act, however, the 35th of George 111., was passed, increasing the amount of the highway rate to a sum not exceeding Is. in the pound. He begged the company's attention to the Act. It allowed of no rate exceeding one shilling, but in case the emergency required, it gave the vestry power to borrow, and accordingly, in 1822, when the inner rate was 25., the outer, or highway rate, was is. But the reformed vestry, misinterpreting the Act, increased the amount of the imposition ; so that in 1844 while, with the good accommodation, the rate in other parishes was—in St. Pancras, 2s. 9d. ; in St. James's, 2s. 4d. St. George's, 2s. 4d. ; St. Ann's, 2s. 4d. ; in Marylebone it was 3s. Bd.—(Cries of " Hear.") And the difference between the outer and the inner district rate was only Bd. or 9d. In these circumstances, when with increased taxes, and when the vestry actually resolved on ex tinguishing every alternate lamp, it was that a number of gentlemen had met in that room and associated them selves to prevent so egregious an injustice. The Chairman proceeded at length to enter into details, and sold the result, in the short space of two years, mainly threugh the exertions of the gentleman near him, their treasurer, Mr. Freeth, had been that the rate,was reduced to its legal bounds of Is. lie concluded by giving the toast coupled with the name of Charles Freeth, Esq., which was received with bumpers, and three times three. Sung by Mr. Wild—" There's a land that bears a well known name." Mr. FREETH, who was received with loud cheers, entered at length into the history of their efforts with the vestry, and made several statements relative to the local accommodation of the neighbourhood, which were received with cheers, and on the ground of which he appealed to the gentlemen present to join the associa tion, and aid them to accomplish what was still to be done. lie concluded by reading a list of subscriptions to the funds of the association, on which the chairman appeared for 51. ss. and Mr. Freeth 2/. 2s. Mr. RIDG WAY, as a Liberal member of the vestry, and a friend to the objects of the association, was favourably received by the company, who heard him make several explanations, and enforce the main object of the meeting. Both Mr. Rid geway and the previous speakers alluded to Lord Morpeth's Bill as likely to work a favourable change in the metropolis, and ex pressed their hope that every aid would be rendered to pass it into a law. The other toasts of the evening—" The Chairman," " The Stewards," " The Visitors," and " The Ladies," were received with all the honours, and followed by ap propriate vocal music. The company at length dispersed in the highest feels ings of satisfaction. DIVISIO7ST or PROFITS, The remarkable success and increasing prosperity of the Society has enabled the Directors, at the last annual investigation, to declare a fourth bonus, varying from 35 to 85 per cent, on the premiums paid on each Policy effected on the Profit scale.

WooLwrcu, APRIL 12.—The Black Eagle steam-ves sel, Master Commander S. B. Cook, was taken into the basin at this dockyard to-day to be examined, having gone over one of the buoys in the harbour on returning from her recent voyage to Sheerness with the Lion. H. G. Ward, Secretary to the Admiralty. The Vixen steam-vessel is to be taken out of dock to morrow, having undergone a complete repair and b een wholly new coppered on her bottom. The Rifleman and Sharpshooter, the former a wooden boat and the latter an iron boat, fitted with screw-pro pellers, were taken into the basin to-day, to be prepared for further experiments to ascertain the best description of screw-propeller, and the most eligible form of the vessels fitted with that invention. The Teazer, wooden vessel, and the Minx, iron vessel, are also to be again tried, to ascertain their speed and qualities with various forms of screw•propellers. The Dwarf had nearly 50 trials with screw-propellers a ith the object of ascertaining the best mode in which they entered the water on revolving, and every opportunity will still be afforded to test the invention to bring it to the greatest possible perfection. The Princess Alice, Dover steam-packet, Lieutenant Commander Scriven, arrived at Woolwich to-day, and vre.9 taken into the basin to have some repairs made to the frame of her machinery. The Hydra steam-vessel, Commander Morrell, arrived at Woolwich yesterday, and will be paid off here. She has been three years and eight months employed on do coast of Africa. The Mastiff surveying-vessel, and her tender, the Woodlark, were taken out of the basin yesterday, and it is expected they will leave Woolwich on the 25th inst., to resume their surveying duties on the coast of the Orkney Islands. Tke Speedy, tender to the Blazer surveying -vessel, arrived at Woolwich yesterday, to refit for her survey ing duties. The Blenheim, 72 guns, block-ship, fitted with a screw-propeller, had her steam up to-day to try the cor rectness of the fittings of her engines, four:of 115 horse power each, constructed on the locomotive principle, with a horizontal stroke, and by that plan so low as to be ten feet under the water-line. The water was let into the dock opposite the blacksmith's shop, where she is at present, and retained by the caisson after the tide had receded. The funnel of the Blenheim is constructed on the telescopic principle, and may be lowered to within six feet of the deck, and the steam-pipe for blowing off the steam may be made level with the deck. Intelligence was received to-day at the Woolwich dockyard of the death of Commander Bremer, R.N., at Edinburgh, son of Commodore Sir J. J. George Bremt r, K.C.8., and K.C.H., the superintendent here, who is at present in Devonshire, on leave of absence. MR. GALE'S SECOND BALLOON AscENT.----Mr. Gale made his second ascent yesterday, from the grounds of the Rosemary Branch, Peckham. The assemblage inside the grounds were fully 5,000, and outside another cypher would not cover the calculation. At a quarter past six the word " Go" was given by Mr. Gale, and he and his fellow-aerial travellers, Messrs. John Ellwood and Geor.le Sharpe, were disengaged, with the machine that carried them, from the cords which held them and it from their upward flight. A temporary excitement, of a most painful kind, was created by the appearance of the balloon (shortly after Mr. Gale had descended m to the say lower car, and discharged his fireworks), by the machine to all appearance losing form, collapsing, and ne descending with d fearful quickly velocity. ispelelcl by l\ a fast-riding 'e ag horseman, w h o returned to the startin g -pl ace, and descent of the aerial vo y agers on 1 , announced the safe f r a e happy-ridin t o that this was enge-common, on the further side of Peckham-rye.

Last night was indeed a triumph for the English drama. and no fitter scene could have been chosen for that triumph than the little theatre in the Haymarket, where through evil report and through good report the English drama has ever found a home. The English Thalia has again returned to the stage. Mrs. Nisbett has returned to us, and appeared last night at the Haymarket for the first time these three years. The play was the Love Chase, her character, of course, Constance (the charac ter which is par excellence her own). She is looking more fascinating than ever, there is the same clear silvery, most infectious laugh, the same genuine spirit of fun, the same energy, the same vis comica as ever. The house was crowded to the ceiling, and had it been of twice the size, it would not have contained the numbers who had assembled outside the doors to greet here rent, ee upon the scene of_, her former triumphs. Never was there seen such a reception. The moment her voice was heard behind the scenes the applause began, and when she appeared the whole house rose and greeted her with clapping of hands and waving of hand kerchiefs, and then, as if to give vent to their enthusiasm, they gave three true British cheers. She acknowledged her reception most cordially—it was the meeting of old friends long parted—and when the cheering began she appeared quite overcome, and could scarcely p roceed with her part. Nev e r, however, did she act Constance with more spirit; at every scene she was received with renewed applause, and never was applause more richly merited—never did she act Constance better than sho did last night. At the fall of the curtain she was called for ; again the house rose at her appearance, the cheer ing was renewed again and again, and amidst showers of bouquets she retired. The other characters were admirably supported, but the great feature of the night was the re-appearance of Mrs. Nisbett—the reintegration of the entente cordiale between the public and the greatest of comic artistes. May it never again be broken. VICTORIA THEATRE. A new piece, entitled Jack Long of Texas ; cr the Shot in tl.e Eye, was produced at this theatre yesterday evening. The plot is as follows:—Jack Long (kr. N. T. Hicks) has married ILry Gibbs (Miss 'Vincent), and supplanted Captain Hinck (Mr. W. Searle), leader of a band of " Regulators," or soi-disant prairie senate or executive, and who also distinguishes himself as a marksman, by which he incurs the enmity of Captain Hinck, and upon an unfounded accusation of horse steal ing is subjected, and by the aforesaid worthy, to the in fliction of the lash. The indignity which he has sus tained operates so powerfully upon the mind of Jack Long (who is a young hunter from the rocky mountains, and who is represented as possessing all those feelings which are engendered by a residence amid Alpine scenery), that he becomes insane, and all his mental fa culties become concentrated into a des4.3 of destroying the gang by whom he has suffered the ignominious pu nishment. This he effects, his reason is restored, and he is re - un i ted to his bride. These are the materials of the piece, which is skil fully worked up. The language is natural, the imagery such as the wild scenes of the forest (the locale of the piece) would suggest, and devoid of that extravagance, that bizarre hue which too frequently characterises the productions of melodramatic writers for the British stage. Mr. N. T. Hicks represented faithfully the character he personated, and Miss Vincent as the heroine of the piece (Mary Gibbs) gave a per feet impersonation of the female character under the The influence o orf characters ha t po were passion which w e l is woman'ssus tained, destiny t in ytib—e per formance lo s. i e .: formance elicit e d h ear t y app l ause. T he piece was an tassi nounced for repetition every evening till further notice, and the announcement was received with stentorian plaudits. MR. WILSON'S FIRST NIGHT IN THE MUSIC HALL. Last night Mr. Wilson gave his first entertainment for the season in the Music Hall, St ore - s treet, where be will be found " a: borne" every Monday evening during the season. The full attendance with which he was honoured last night, and the hearty reception with which he was greeted as soon as he made his appearance, were proofs to him that he had not been forgot during his wanderings in other lands. We never heard him in finer voice than he displayed last night. He seems in high health and spirits. The programme contained many beautiful songs, some of which he sang for the first time in London. " The Stuarts of Appin" is one of the noblest songs we ever heard, the music being equally effective with the poetry. The burst from the minor into the major in the second strain had a thrilling effect. This song cannot fail to prove a great attraction of itself. Another, which he sang for the first time, was Burn's splendid lyric of " Go, fetch to me a pint of wine." He sang it to a beautiful melody, which suited the song admirably ; and it was honoured with a hearty and unanimous encore. He sang very finely the old song, " An those wert my ain thing," which, old though it be, is one of the most elegant melodies that could he listened to. In his humourous songs he was as rich as ever, and caused much excrticn of the risible faculties of his audience. We were glad to see, by his next Mon day's programme, that it is " An Hour wi' Burns," in which, besides singing many of the ploughman Bard's most admired lyrics, he recites so admirably the famous poem of " Tam o' Shunter." If we may judge by JEW; night Wilson's soirees will be as popular this season as ever, though he has now entered on his seventh season. -0, 0 11==sv CROSBY HALL Mrs. Butler, the widow of the celebrated tragedian and lecturer, Samuel Butler, gave her second dramatic reading last night at Crosby Hall. The attendance on the occasion was, we were gratified to observe, very nu merous, and the exertions of the clever elocutionist met with a degree of applause proportionate to their great merit. Her recitations, evidently the result of intense study and mostpa ssionateft g ied attachment authors, w e t o r eh the inspiriting caracter is characterised by work: of our chasteness of conception, exquisitely refined judgment, and beautiful delivery, which afforded incontestible dence that Mrs. Butler is possessed of decided genius.. Ifer powers of description and personation are of no or dinary stamp, and there is in her intonation an har monious sequence of melody peculiarly benefiting her for enlisting the sympathies and admiration of her patrons. Tho programme so judiciously selected for last night's entertainment, comprised some of the finesu passages from Shakspere, Hood, Arnold, and Ather stone. Mrs. Butler, too, appeared in the double capacity , of authoress, and elocutionist, introducing an enchant ing, romantic sketch, entitled " The Daughter of Erin," her own composition. Throughout America and the Continent of Europe, where Mrs. Butler frequently and with creditable success, delineated the conceptions of the master-minds of our admired dramatists and poet-, th's and al sa ttihse tunpretending y p l a r o s t d u e c v t e i o n n i ng w greatlyas enjoyedthe a d a m d d i re i Jl o , n " Hamlet's Soliloquy on Death," " The Last Day s o recognised by a British of Herculaneum," " Hot spur's Description of a F o p , " and " faction of knowingthathe audience. literary efforts were fully the painter is represented torturi ng t h e I arrhasius, where Athenian Olyuthian captive, in order the better to understand th t pains and passions of his Prometheus, which he was thelc about to paint, were co iriryerreecxtt treat y eraets g s i ti v ho e an t i i n: lainrldsn.dv‘Be, we trust re we f. ihitlhauyls tr a t seldomion s o f enjoyed;oe u a t i o r n i c a she will often afford us similar opportunities of bearii tribute to her unassuming merits.
