The grand stand has undergone several unprovernents. Amongst them is the erection of a 1 glliery at the end near the winning chair, for the i use of the stewards ; this will afford an excellent view of the races, and will, we trust, lead to • the ' d emolition o f t h e ant i quate d , worm - ea t os e difi ce on opposite s id e of the course, so many years use d as a or ] wei g lu ng stand, i t h as l ong cease d t o b e e ith e r useful orna mental.

(From the Second Edition of the Sunday Times.) The morning rose beautifully, presenting an aspect clear and glowing—radiant, in short, with the promise of a brilliant day. It was, however, soon thickly over clouded, to the sore discouragement of a vast miscel laneous crowd of persons, who had availed themselves of the early trains to be in "good time" to see the high bred cattle take their gallops on the Downs. But for such facilities most of them, we will venture to say, would have been snoozing snugly in their beds, dream ing, perhaps, of " lucky draws," and heaps of glittering prize money! Rain fell heavily for upwards of two hours, the clouds then gradually dispersed, the sun shone forth again in full splendour, the galloping ground was quickly thronged by the gathering multitude. Strings of horses came forth, and the surrounding scene became animated, in teresting, and picturesque in the highest degree. Barring three or four groups of gipsies, we were the earliest cn the Downs. Ugh ! how they dripped, and shook, and shivered, as they stood huddled together under the skeleton booths. At half-past fire, Van Tromp, accompanied by Eryx and Plaudit, made their appearance on the ground, and re mained exposed to the "pelting of the pitiless storm," which fell in torrents, for upwards of an hour, the pru dence of which, under any circumstances, is consider ably questionable. After walking about for some time he took a couple of gentle canters from the bottom of the Derby hill to the old mile starting post. From this spot he walked to Tattenham corner, where he was again "set a-going," but merely cantered to the end — the rain pouring in torrents all the time. We walked beside " the crack" for some distance, scrutinising him as closely as circumstances would admit ; and it was oar decided impression that he has lust much of his action —that his preparation has been but a moderate one ; and that there were sufficient grounds for the report that his fore-legs have been rather queerish ; both wore boots. He was the pet of our fancy last year, and we then considered him the finest two year old of the season'; but comparing him with animals of his own class now, we do not discover that superiority of ap pearance which so eminently distinguished him as a two year old. The appearance of Mr. Martin caused a great deal of interest, and he was surrounded by crowns anxious to get a peep at this animal, who has, throughout the win ter, and especially within this last fortnight, been one of the prominent features of the Derby betting. Our readers are well aware that after the running of Mr. Mostyn's horses al Chester Mr. Martin became a great favourite, and as little as eight to one was taken about him for the Derby. Within the last week, however, he has retrograded considerably, and went to the right about—on the strength of the trial on Tuesday, we believe with The Swallow and Sagacity, in which we understand he only beat the Chester winner by a length, with some difficulty. This morn ing he took several canters and galloped the Derby course twice, pulling up on both occasions as fresh and dry as Perfect condition could make him. He was ac companied by the Quilt Arnold filly, who appeared to have little the worst of him —indeed, so well did she 10 , .k, and went in such racing•like form, that we conceived a notion that we shall see a repetition of the Queen of Trump's victory for this race. Mr. Martin is as good a looking animal as any on the ground ; and though we did not like his action up the hill at first, we fancied when laid down to his work that he will prove a very dangerous horse, and worth an invest ment at his present price. Stebbing's string consisted of Bedouin, Assault, and Flatcatcher. The Derby nag we did not like, but Flat catcher is a very racing-like two year old, and will make flats of those who happen to be against him for the Woodcote, on Tuesday. Sister to Dexterous, a remark ably fine mare, galloped with them. Giraffe and Brown Bess took solitary canters. Miss Sarah (who looked in her old form) led Chain bearer and the Miss Whip colt a good gallop, and we question whether many in the race will not find it diffi cult to measure the capabilities of the Chainbearer. He is a fine powerful horse, with good stride and splendid action. Miles's Boy (with Whitehouse up) led Wanota two steady gallops over the Derby course. Both had their fore-legs bandaged; and Wanota (who does not appear to be the least grown since last year) appeared very stale and " dickey" in that quarter. In action ho " puddled" and went too wide behind to please us. With others, however, he found favour. Satyr, Signet, and Sultana did not create much sensa tion by their exhibition. On the contrary, War Eagle did, and justly so. He looked in blooming condition; and, with little Billy g Marson on his back, went as " free as a bird." He mounted the hill several times in a style to make his enemies quake in their shoes; and twice galloped the Derby course in a manner which left no doubt of his " staying" qualities. His vast improvement upon his Newmarket form is manifest.

Queen Awkward (2 I t hies said, rema inder will h : v i o l I five be ye or six starters. Charles l'ack's string was on the Six Mile Bottom, and consisted of Administrator, New Era, and Mont pensier, all looking well. The Frenchman is a good looking, middle-sized, racing -like horse, but rather de ficient in power ; he has, however, very smooth neat action. The New Era appeared to us to have consider aby the best of the gallop. Limestone and Maid of Motherwell were both liked, the mare in particular ; she will run very forward for the Oak:. JOHN SCOTT'S TRIAL Came off at noon on Slturday, and the result was as follows: Don Caesar 1 Bowstring Christopher Cast Steel filly beaten off. Bingham and Epirote were not in it, Don Caesar was beaten twice in the First Spring Meeting at Newmarket, by two such moderate animals as Vert Vert and Cocoa Nut. Bowstring's chance, there fore must be very stringy. There was no betting on the Downs. Forth's lot, consisting of Oxonian, Old Port, Good Coin, Laundry Maid, Caversham (2 yrs), Noiseless (Oaks), and Wintonia, were hourly expected at Ash stead. John Day's lot will be there on Tuesday. Our opinion of Oxonian has been materially strengthened since our first edition yesterday ; and we confidently expect to see him pull through triumphantly. Aliwal (who was out) will be ridden by Wakefield ; and Red Hart will have Henry Bell up, instead of Ab dale, as stated in our list of probable starters. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—The glorious prospect of a soul stirring Carnival on the Downs of Epsom, during the forthcoming meet ing is quite exhilarating. The festival of Wednesday next will completely take the shine out of all its predecessors from the days of Banbury and Diomed, to Gully and Pyrrhus the First; never has there been seen on Epsom's far-famed Downs so great a multitude of all classes, from the Peer to chimney-sweep, as will be assembled on that delectable spot on the Derby day. During the past week, Cossack and Conyngham with Van Tromp close up, have, notwithstanding a good pep. pering„ been very buoyant at the "corner." Mr. Martin on the contrary has lost caste rapidly, and is now vir tually an outsider. Mirmillo's marvellous jump on Friday, from 1,000 to 15, to 20 to 1 taken, looks very ominous; he was tried not quite a fortnight ago, and found to be a clipper, consequent upon this trial he was posted off to Newmarket, for the Suffolk Stakes which he won very, very easily, with lots to spare, his admirers think he ca❑ and will win the Derby, vie shall see. The other moves of the week do not require any notice whatever. The field for the Derby Stakes will be taken from the following, viz:— Nottingham, Bingham, The Questionable, Golightly, Planet, Gabbier, Glentilt, Crozier, Vice Consul, War Eagle, Epirote, Bedlam, Montpensier, Wanota, ford, Van Tromp, Oxonian, Chainbearer, Mirmillo, Mathematician, Buckskin, New Era, Timour, Will-o'- the-Wisp, Lionel, Limestone, Mr. Martin, Old Port, The Liberator, Retort colt, The Cossack, Convngham, Red Hart, Halo, G oo d C o i n , Philosopher, Ulysses, Signet, Christopher, The Admiral, Bowstring, Black Dwarf, Aliwal, Clarendon, The Reiver, and Eryx. From this lot about thirty will be selected as starters, what their names are at this present moment no mortal power can tell, but to-morrow, in giving my last observations on this " first of races," I have r.o doubt I shall be able to furnish a correct list of the quadrupedal opponents. The Questionable, Golightly, Gabbier, Crozer, Vice Consul, Bedlam, Camelford, Buckskin, Will-o'-the- Wisp, Christopher, The Admiral, Aliwal, Clarendon, . and Eryx, form that well-known class, who possess not the most remote shadow of a chance of passing the post first, but who are generally sent to cut out the work for their more speedy stable companions. I will now proceed to scan the merits of the thirty-two fortunate nags sup posed to possess a chance in this Derby " lottery." Not tingham, by Colwick out of Ellen, first on the list, but not first in the race, is but a very moderate animal, his only performances this year being at Liverpool, when he won the Sefton Plate, beating a crew of second rates; it is said he has improved considerably of late, hut whether or no he cannot have any pretensions to the Derby. Colonel Anson's Bingham will run well. Planet, by Bay Middleton, out of Plenary, will, after all, bu Kent's hor,e, being, in the opinion of Lord George Bentinek, second to nothing in the race but Van Trump, in fact, he has often expressed an opinion that the Derby will be decided thus— Van Tromp Planet 2 and his opinion in such matters is by no means to be despised. - - - Cilentilt, by Plenipotentiary, out of Glenlin, has not looked particularly blooming of late—his chance is gone. War-Eagle —a very inferior eagle to war with. Epirote, the son of Epirus and the Mickleton Maid, will cut a much better figure than is generally expected. Montpensier—a candidate for the sixth place. Wanota ; doubtless a clever nag, and particularly clever at shutting up early. Oxonian, by Wintonian, dam by Laurel, out of Flight, a very flighty pedigree, not likely to fly off with the laurels to Mitchell Grove ; his owner can send forth a better horse by 101bs. than this. Chainbearer cannot stay the distance. Mirmillo, by Gladiator, out of Morella, will run game, but that is all I can say in his favour. Mathematician will have had enough by the time he arrives at the distance post. New Era, by Plenipotentiary, out of the Era's darn ; if very good blood, condition, and power can pull him through, he will not be far from winning ; and yet he is not in the slightest favour among the knowing visi tors of the corner. Timour—Sir Gilbert's only starter, out of three no minations, all ♦ery inferior. Lionel and Mr. Martin may as well stop at home, so may the Retort colt and Mr. O'Brien's Sheet Anchor— the Liberator, not one of the lot will be able to live the pace. Mr. Merry's Limestone, out of Decoy, will not attract my cash. Old Port, by Sir Hercules, out of Beeswing, a splendid drop of Beeswing for Mr. Worley. He is a fine lengthy animal, shoulders well laid back, immense quarters, capable of ascending the hill with ease, and will ha►e half the field safe before he arrives at the road. _ _ Day's two have been running, for some time, a neck and-neck race for the premiership, with Van Tromp close upon their heels. In my fancy, this very much resembles the race of Wednesday next, at the Stand ; most probably Cossack will be very forward until the Van arrives at the stand, then the work will be taken up by Conyngham, Van Tromp, and another or two, which will end as hereafter stated. The distance is rather too far for the Cossack, but it suits Conyngham very well indeed. Red Hart and Halo will run nothing more. Ulysses —a large horse, half prepared. Lord Strathmore will not seal the stakes with his Signet. Lord Stanley's Bowstring will not be pulled to any advantage at Epsom. The Black Dwarf's chance is dwarfish indeed. The Reiver and Eryx must look out for smaller fry. Last of all, we come to the winter crack, hight Van Tromp, the unbeaten wonder, who, d la Sting, di spose d of every antagonist quite cavalierly, and LIONV, still fol lowing Sting's example, he will succumb to a more for tunate rival. At the present t ime, my candid op i n i on is, . that Cossack will resign lead at the Stand to Conyngham, Van Tromp, and Old Port, New Era, Mir millo, Planet, and Montpensier, being well up. The struggle then commences, and, after a desperate race, finishes in favour of Conyngham Van Tromp Old Port The Woodcote Stakes will start a good field, with Flatcatcher or Woodcraft for winner. As a " counsel in Chancery," I advise my clients to read this brief, and if in doubt, to take the benefit of the Act, for every word contained in this letter is founded on fact, and is the result of long experience. As yet, I have never been wrong on the Derby. Last year I named Fancy Boy and Pyrrhus the First for my champion ; the year before, The Merry Monarch ; and this year, with Conyngham, Van Tromp, and Old Port, I think I can pull through again. A list of the starters, and nny observations that may come under my notice in the course of the next twenty four hours, I will give, in a brief epistle, to-morrow. I am, Sir, yours. &c.

THE TOWER HAMLETS.—Mr. Hutchison, who unsuc cessfully contested this borough at the last election, has announced himself as a candidate on the approaching dissolution. Another candidate is also announced as likely to come forward on the Dissenting interest. NORTH DURHAM.—Mr. Robert Duncombe Shafto, of Whitworth, has issued an address to the electors, and has become a candidate on the Whig and Lambton interest. NORTH CHESHIRE.—The only names as yet men tioned as likely to go to the poll are E. D. Davenport, Esq., of Capesthorn, and J. Cheetham, Esq., of Staly bridge, both Liberals.—Manchester Express. UNIVERSITY OP OXFORD.—There will be a contest for the representation of this University at the ap proaching general election, Mr. Estcourt having inti mated his intention of retiring from Parliament. The names of the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone and Sir W. Heatheote are severally spoken of as being the most likely to occupy the vacant seat. The Guardian states that Mr. Gladstone will come forward, and that it is said the Hebdomadal Board intend to put forward Mr. Card well, the nephew of one of their members. IPSWICH.—Mr. George Rennie has announced him self as a candidate for this town on the occasion of the general election. He dates his address from the Reform ' Club. NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT.—We are requested to inform our readers that two gentlemen of stanch and in dependent principles will at a very early period offer themselves to the notice of the electors as candidates for the representation of the borough at the next election on the liberal interest.—Hampshire Independent. ATHLONE.—According to one of the local newspapers Mr. William Keogh, a young barrister and a Roman Catholic, has been during the past week canvassing the electors of the borough on the Conservative interest; and, according to the same authority, Sir George Beres ford also intends coming forwards on similar principles, and will present himself to the constituency in the course of a few days. Meanwhile Mr. John Collett, the present Member, has declared his intention of contesting the representation against all opposition at the coming election. KNARESBOROUCII.—We are glad to learn that there is a good prospect of relieving Knaresborough from the discredit of being represented by Mr. Ferrand. Our late fellow-townsman, J. P. Westhead, Esq., and the Hon. W. S. Lascelles, brother of the Earl of Harewood, and now M.P. for Wakefield, have offered themselves as can didates, in opposition to Mr. Ferrand and Mr. Lawson ; and we are glad to hear that they have every prospect of success. Mr. Lascelles, though a Conservative, has shown himself anything but a party man ; and we should be sorry to see him excluded from the House of Com mons.—Manchester Guardian. WARRINGTON.—Mr. J. I. Blackburne, the present Member for the borough has issued his address to the electors, a step, he intimates, rendered imperative on him in consequence of Mr. Allcard having announced his intention of becoming a candidate for the representation at the ensuing election. It appears to be generally understood that, at the ge neral election now approaching, the present representa tives of the borough of Sunderland, David Barclay and George Hudson, Esq., will be again returned without opposition. —/Veweastle Guardian. ORKNEY AND SLIETLAND.—MY. Anderson has pub lished an address to the electors of Orkney and Shetland, from which the following are extracts.— " Not less than two hundred and eighteen effective voters having pledged themselves iu writing to give me their active support at the poll, besides a considerable number who have verbally promised their support, to entertain a doubt of success would be to betray such a want of confidence in the integrity of my kind coun trymen as it is impossible for me to entertain for one moment. Our success must appear, I think, still more certain, if we refer to the state of the polling in the con test between Mr. Balfour and Mr. Traill, in 1835. At that time the whole number of voters on the register was 476. It is now, I believe, about 510. That con test, most of you will recellect, was rather a sharp one, and its object nearly the same as that of the present one. On the occasion the total number who voted for Mr. Balfour was 114 : for Mr. Traill, candidate on the Dun• des interest, 84. You will at once see that the number of eltctors who have pledged themselves in writing to vindicate the independence of the county at the next poll amounts to nearly double the number who brought in the successful candidate at the last contest, while the whole increase on the register since then only amounts to 34. With such facts before us. can we entertain a doubt of the most triumphant success? While on this subject, I deem it necessary to advert to a misrepresentation of the nature of the contest which has been spread abroad by our opponents. They have endeavoured to mislead the public, by representing it as a contest founded ou merely personal and local consi derations, involving no public prin c ipl e , an d conse quently, of no public importance. Now this is the reverse of the fact. We are struggling to assert a great and fundamental principle of the constitution, namely, that the representatives of the people, in the people's House of Parliament, shall truly be chosen by the peopl e , an d rea ll y represent them, instead of being, as n ear ly one h a l f of them now are,' the nominees and represent a ti ves o f t h e peerage. The question you will be called upon (probably within two or three months) to determine, is, whether the Member for Orkney and Shetland shall represent the feelings and interests of the people of Orkney and Shetland, or the feelings and interests of the Earl of Zetland. This is the real nature of the contest, involving a principle which cannot fail to insure for us the sympathy of every true man of independ4nt mind, and every friend of the Con stitution throughout the kingdom, and with the success ful vindication of which, on the remote shores of my native islands, I shall feel more pride in having my name associated, than to represent the richest and mo s t popu lous place in Britain.—John 0 ' Groat , s Journal.

Free-trade principles are gradually gaining ground ip every part of Europe. The particulars of Mr. Cobden 's triumphant mar c h through France and Spai▪ n have already been amply reco rded in the pages of this journal. From Spain the Hon. Member tor Stockport proceeded to the other great peninsula of the south of Europe, where he has won the same golden opini▪ ons and been honoured with the same grand receptions. He has shaken hands with the Pope, and held familiar conver sations on his favourite topic with many of the savans litterati of Italy. Florence, the seat .of the fine arts from time immemorial, and of free-trade for the last century, has not been backward in rendering homage to the representative of the enlightened principles of com mercial intercourse which bid fair soon to become the basis of all the fiscal codes of the continent. We have received from the Tuscan capital the particulars of a grand banquet in honour of the English free-trader, which took place there on the 29th ult. As many as 110 persons assembled in the magnificent gallery of the Borghese Palace, where the feast was prepared. The presidenti a l c h a i r was occupied by the Chevalier Vincenzo Peruzzi Gonfaloniere, of the city of Florence. and the select cif cle around him included many pt rsons distinguished by name, by talents, and by fortune. The guests having done justice to the delicious viands and exquisite wines which overspread the table, the Pre sident rose and proposed the health of " the Grand Duke Leopold of Tuscany, the Sovereign of the State." The Vice-President, Signor Emanuelle Fenzi, then ad dressed Mr. Cobden in Italian, as follows: " To the fer%id and sincere prayers for a long and prosperous life, to the applause which you have received in other parts of Italy, and especially in the Eternal City, we are rejoiced to-day to be able to add those of our own Florence—Florence, in which letters, together with the arts and sciences, first revived after the dark ness of the middle ages, and which heard freedom of trade proclaimed in its bosom sixty-six years ago, thus . giving a great exa m pl e , by which, when it developed and adopted by all nations, ' the misery of many millions of men will be relieved, and the most powerful obstacle that is opposed to the fraternity of nations—diversity of interests—removed.' Florence honours and admires in you, Sir, the head of that League' which, with imper turbable constancy, with immense sacrifices, and van quishing obstacles which appeared insuperable, effected in your country one of the greatest, and at the same time the most peaceful of revolutions, thus affording to the whole world the spectacle of the irresistible force with which an idea is developed when armed by science and the force of persuasion alone, and when with inde fatigable activity it is peacefully and legally sustained by worthy men. Continue your labours, 0 Richard! gather other laurels so much the more to be desired, because they are not stained with blood, but are covered with the benedictions of the human race. We shall continue to admire and to applaud you—we who—thanks to an enlightened prince, courageous in his endeavours to vanquish the prejudices of his age, and to put in practice the liberal doctrines with which he was imbued—have experienced for thre e generat i ons the eff i cacy of free trade in alimentary substances, which has averted from our country the scourge of famine; as the same freedom in trade, not excluding that of instruction, and the free interchange of immovable property produced by the abolition of fiefs, has banished distress from our land or restricted it to its least painful limits, if the generous idea of the free interchange of produce and articles of commerce generally has become law in the great country to which you belong, the great example must be fol lowed by other nations. We offer, in the mean time, fervent prayers for your felicity and your glory, which is our own, and we cry with one voice—Long live Richard Cobden !' " After the toast had been duly drunk, and the applause in a degree subsided, Mr. CoIIDEN rose and spoke as follows: —" Gentle men, I should feel much embarrassed if I believed that this splendid demonstration was intended as a personal compliment to myself; for, whatever may be thought of my merits in other countries, I can have no title to pre eminence as a free trader in an assembly of Tuscans. But, no; we meet here as brethren in a common faith, myself a younger brother, to unite our vows in favour of that commercial liberty which Tuscany, of all the nations of the earth, was the first to put in practice upon sound politico-economical principles. Other people, as for instance the Dutch and the Swiss, owing to the acci dentals of their geographical position, may ha ve always enjoyed peculiar exemptio ns fro m commercial restric tions, but to Tuscany is undoubtedly due the glory of having preceded by half a century the rest of the world in the application of the theories of economical science to its legislation. Here political economy was first erected into a commercial code. Let us render a solemn homage to the memories of those men who gave to the world so great a lesson in' statesmanship. Honour to Bandini, who a century ago discovered the truth—of which more than half the c i v ili se d world is still igno rant—that liberty of commerce i s the only safeguard of nations against the ev il s o f scarcity, and their surest guide to agricultural end commercial prosperity ! Honour, immortal honour, to Leopold, who taking the torch of science from the hand of Bandini, entered upon the then dark and untrodden path of free trade, and guided only by its pure light, proceeded onwards with an unfaltering step, undeterred by th e o b s t ac l es which ignorance, prejudice, and self-interest threw in his way ! Honour to Neri, John Fabbroni, Fossombroni, and the rest who have preserved his great work from the attacks of sophistry in our day! These are the real benefactors of mankind, to whom we ought to decree honours and monuments, whose peaceful triumphs will shed blessings upon myriads yet unborn, long after the causes and con sequences of blood-stained victories are lost in oblivion and nothingness. Gentlemen, I am not in the habit of addressing my hearers in terms of flattery, and I should like it to be understood that the few words I have to add are intended for those who may chance to read my. remarks in other countries rather than as-complirnentary phrases offered to a Tuscan audience. Upon this m > first visit to Italy, I have felt naturally curious to wit ness the effects of free trade, particularly in corn, upon the moral condition of a people. I must confess that I entered Tuscany with feelings of en thusiasm, such as a devotee experiences in visiting the shrine of his faith. But I have endeavoured to cast an impartial eye upon all that I have seen, and if what I state as the result of my observation be erroneous, it will be open to correction by others. During the last eight months I have been travelling in nearly all the countries of southern Europe, and I am bound to state. without wishing to disparage other nations, that I find the condition of the population of Tuscany superior to that of any other people I have visited. The surface of the country resembles that of a well-cultivated garden; the people are everywhere well-dressed; I have seen no beggars excepting a few lame or blind; and in this season of the general scarcity there is less of suffering from want of food here, with a perfect freedom of ex port and import of corn, than in probably any other country in Europe. I find such industries as are natural to Tuscany carried on with success, and that, in par ticular, of its indigenous straw manufacture has attained a development which has surprised me. But I do not confine my observations to the material condition of the people. Where a country bad enjoyed for fifty years the advantages of commercial liberty, I expected to find the spirit of free trade entering into the character of its people, abating their national prejudices, destroying the spirit of egotism, and imparting to them a sentiment of brotherhood towards other nations. And in this respect I have not been disappointed in the inhabitants of Tuscany. I am only repeating the opinion of every traveller when I say that they are eminently courteous and mild towards strangers. Foreigners make this country their favourite abode, not merely because here there is no impediment to a cheap and abundant supply of luxuries and comforts from every part of the globe, but because they find a charm in the amiable cordiality of the Tuscan people. Such is the description of the only country in southern Europe which enjoys the ad vantages of free trade, and I will not add a word of comment, but leave the facts I have stated for thein struction of other nations. Gentlemen, I thank you heartily for this cordial reception of a fellow-labourer in our good cause. The remembrance of this happy evening will always be a source of the highest gratifica tion to me. I conclude by drinking to the rapid exten sion of free-trade principles all over the world." A number of speeches in Italian were afterwards de livered, for which we cannot find room. The whole affair passed off most sat i s f actor i ly, and the gallant Italians vied with each other in paying every attention to the fair lady of the illustrious free trader, who accom panied her husband to the banquet by special invitation. POISONING OF A FAMILY AT BURY. On Saturday afternoon last the inhabitants of East gate-street and the neighbourhood were thrown into a state of great consternation, by a report being circulated that a whole family had been poisoned. Inquiry was instantly set on foot to ascertain the truth of the rumour, and it was soon discovered to be too true. The family of Mr. 'William Rouse, agricultural implement maker, of 56, Eastgate-street, consisting of the wife and four children, sat down to dinner about one o'clock on Serturday afternoon, some dumplings, prepared from some dough which had been left after making the bread in the morning, forming part of the meal. About ten minutes after dinner, all who had partaken of the repast were seised with severe pains and violent vomiting, and, of course, from the fact of their all being attacked in the same manner, suspicion was aroused. Mr. Image was im mediately sent for, and arriving with the utmost expe dition, soon ascertained that poison had been adminis tered, and immediately resorted to those remedies usual on such occasions. By the skilful treatment adopted the sufferers were soon recovered, so far as to be be yond the reach of immediate danger. Mr. Rouse as, himself, having been engaged in business during the dinner time, only partook of a small dumpling afterwards, but w part of a aGoted.

It is believed that she has been led into the commission of some petty filching, and feels conscince-stricken at her guilt. The inquiry before the magistrates resulted in the prisoner being remanded till Monday next, when she will under go another examinetion.—Bury Herald. HER MAJESTY'S STATE BALL.

All the visitors (with the exception of the royal Family) were conducted up the grand staircase into the grand draw ing-room and the picture gallery. The Ladies co: turves, new fur the occasion, were composed of the richevt and most costly fabrics in silk and satin of the most elegant design, many of them remarkable for the ex• ceding beauty of the material in texture and colour. Some wore dresses of lace of the greatest beauty, and most enormous value. The dresses were most splendidly ornamented with diamonds, pearls, and precious stones, and the head-dres s es almost universally displayed magnificent ornaments of the same valuable and brilliant description. The Queen wore a very magnificent costume. The dress was of blue gauze, over blue silk, and tulle, and was trimmed with roses panachees, white and pink. Diamonds were in serted in the roses, and the dress was also ornamented with brilliants.

Along the tables were massive centre pieces, candelabra, vases, wine coolers, and epergnes. Some of them, from the designs of Flagman, displaying forms the most classical and beautiful, all of them of great elegance and the most admirable work manship. To relieve, as it were, the mass of magnificence, at certain distances along the tables were placed the most beautiful flowering plants, in golden vases. The appearance of these bright flowers among the mass of gold plate had a most charming effect. On the buffet surrounding the centre , shield were ranged vases, cups, chalices, tankards, and salvors in profusion, some of them glittering with precious atone.,
