TATTERSALL'S.—MONDAY.
A large bulk of the settling having been completed in the
City during the morning, the adjustment of the balances on
the Newmarket accounts did not greatly retard speculation
on coming events. Paying and receiving made a rapid, and
to all appearances. • satisfactory progress. The lotting,
however, occasioned much perplexity. The strange freaks
of temper which it was alleged The Marquis had recently
displayed, and which threatened his entire abolition from
the list of quotations on the Two Thousand, seemed either
to have been forgotten, or had, it was believed, no founda-
tion on truth. He was any rate made first favourite,
whilst Old Calabar, who not only woe his engagements at
Newmarket last week easily, but wax successful for
every TACO for which he started but
season, received more
opposition than ever. The movements with respect to this
hone are seemingly inexplicable, and completely dumb-
founded his backers, who were apparently scared from
raising • voice in his favour. Like the man who exclaimed
" The more you knock at the door the more I won't open
it," the opponents of Old Calabar seemed determined to
lay the more against him the more he wins. Caterer was
second favourite. Nottingham was very steady, sod had
many supporters. Buckenham's Newmarket successes are
likely to bring him into prominent notice. For the Cheater
Cup, both Zodiac and Fair water retain their relative positions.

Two of the members of the Board of Admiralty
arrived here some days ego, and left for England by the
way of Gibraltar on Friday last. Mr. Scamp, the deputy

by way of Marseilles. Luring the short day of the
members of the board their attention was directed to the

CHATHAN, Ann, 28.
The Admiralty have decided on adopting the
armour-plated screw frigate Royal Oak, 51, building at this
dockyard, for the purposes of a steam rem, to be used in
running down other veseela, and orders have accordingly
bees received directing that abe may be oomiderably
strengthened about the bows, so that she may be rendered
et for that particular duty. It is expected that the Royal
Oak will be completed and launched by the middle cc sad
of the month of August, when she will be immediately
docked in order to have her armour-plates thexed to her
sides, the present intention being not to plat* her until
after she is afloat. The lineolbettle screw steamer Bul-
wark, 91, 800 hone-power, building at this dockyard, but
the works connected with which have been some time sus.
Fended, will be the next vessel to be converted into an
armour-plated frigate. She is 252 feet between perpendicu-
lars, ea of 3,716 tons burden.

WOOLWICH. Area 28.
A detachment of Royal Horse Artillery, from
India, arrived at Woolwich this afternoon, and after dis-
embarking at the Royal Arsenal-pier proceeded to the pr.
Awn. Just parlous to landing, by some means a soldier
fell ormboar4 and would probably have been drowned,
but one of his comrades jumped into the river with a life
buoy, and both men returned to the *hip in safety. A num-
ber of artillerymen who have recently returned from India
will be discharged, their term of service having expired.
It is stated that the whole of the workmen at the Royal
Arsenal will be granted a holiday on Thursday next, in lieu
of the day's holiday which will be lost to the government
workmen, in consequence of the aon-eelebration this year
of her Yejaity's birthday.

THE DISTRESSED OPERATIVES IN
LANCASHIRE.

The Lord Mayor stated yesterday from the bench
at the Mansion-house, that it pre him great pleasure to
annotuiee that he had received a host of letters front bene-
volent individuals, snake* considerable sums in aid of the
fund proposed to be rabid for the relief of the distressed
operative. in Lancashire. and be observed that the
charitable feeling of the pubis had evidently been aroused,
and that there was very little doubt that inch a sum would
be raised as would tend to materially relieve the distress
that unhappily at ➢resent existed in the manufacturing dis-
tricts. The following sums have been received :—Meeers.
Robert and Henry Parnell and Co., 52/. 10s. ; Messrs.
Trewby Brothers. per the editor of the Times, 51.; Maws.
Leaf, Bons, and Co., 1061. ; W. J. R. Cotton, Eeq., 201. ;
A Stringer in London, 41. ; A Prised in Need, 10a. ; Charles
Hill, Esq., F.S.A., 101. ; HOMO, 31. 3a. ; James Brown, 11.;
A Poor Afflicted Sufferer, 11. ; Ada Warton, ss. (these four
last mentioned tuna were sent per the editor of the Times) ;
Mr. George Ally, 1/. ; A Helping Hand, 10a. ; S. E. It.,
per the London and Westminster Bank, 351. ; Augustus
Bonham, EN., 101. ; J. Thomson, Faq., 51. ; William
Payee, Esq., 51. ss. ; Messrs. H. E. and M. Maass, 211.
Several other sums ware received during the day.

We (Manchester Guardian) have to report a
further increase of destitution in the Win and union
of Blackburn. The relief committee' have distributed
during the week 14,7511b0 of bread and 14,010115. of
oatmeal, as against 11,0091b5. of bread and 10,5001b5.
of meal io the previous week, at a cost of about 1701.
Through the agency of the parochial authorities there
were relieved last week in the Blackburn district alone,
no fewer than 7,540 persons, at a cost of 440/. is. 21. ;
being an increase, as compered with the previous week,
of 111 recipients, and of 221. 12s. 2d. in coat. In
the corresponding week of last year, about 1,600 were
relieved with about 781. In the Oswaldtwistle
s-
trict, 901 persons were relieved with 451. 10e. ; and
in the Darwin district, 973, with 411. 14s. 3d. ;I
while in the whole union no fewer than 9,41 C
were relieved, at • oat of 529/, ss. M.; being an
increase on the previous week of 187 recipients, and
271. 10s. in cost. The relief fund has during the week
been considerably augmented, and now amounts to
2,8881. 3s. 24. ; about 2.0001. of which has been already
spent, leaving nearly 9004 in hand to meet the necessitieel
of the operatives for the future. In answer to various
appeals, contributions to the relief fund reach the relief '
committee from all parts of the country. At the police
court, on Saturday, Mr. T. Lund, J.P., intimated that he
had received, through the Rev. T. Lund, of Moreton, Der-
byshire, a cheque for 50/., presented by Mr. Bailey, Q.C.,
of London, in behalf of the poor of Blackburn. The
union finances are also very low ; and it was stated at the
guardians' meeting on Saturday that there was a balance
of 6001. due to the banker, arising from the fact that the
ont townships bad not paid their instalments, due on the
3rd April and the sth May next. Some ides of the die-
trees may be formed when it is stated that the sum ex-11
pended in outdoor relief by the guardians during the hall-
year ended on Friday lest was 5,6261. 4s. 6d., wawa
1,894/. 4s. 9d. in the corresponding period of last year.
There are about 7,500 operatives unemployed in Blackburn.
The employment at the mills has diminished since our last
notice, a fortnight ago. in Blackburn, and the district of
four miles around, including Witton, Livesey, Church,
Great Harwood, Over and Lower Darwin, Clayton-le.
Moors, Eceleshill, Richton, Tockholes and Yale, and
Pickup Bank, it is computed that there are 154 mills and
weaving sheds, which, in prosperous times, employ nearly
40,000 operatives. Of theme mills, 16 are working fa
time; 13, five days per week ; 46, four days ; 38, three
and • half days; 17, three days ; one, two days ; and 23
stopped. In the WI which closed, 8.459 are entirely thrown
out of employment, while about 20,000 are engaged four,
five, and six days per week, and another 10,000 operatives
only two, three, and three and a half days per week. la
other words, there are nearly 20,000 operatives wholly or
unemployed, representing nearly 40,000 of • port.
partiallyioi who are snore or lees dependent on parochial or
other relief for the bare necessaries of life. Our Dnkiofieldi
correspondent stated that the mill of Mr. John Chadwick,
Tame Valley, Dukinfield, was entirely closed. The state-
ment was made at the Ashton Guardians meeting, on
Thursday, by the relieving °Most for the district, and was
therefore believed to be correct. We are, however, in.
formed that threefourthsof the machinery is now working
full time.
