driving him back to 2to 1; the reaction, however, was
so decided that at the close ILO out would lay ti to 4 against

The same reason which led to Grecian's decline for this
2,000 Guineas, operated against him for this event, no one
raising a voice in his behalf until near the close whim 7
to 1 would have been taken. Coustellution quoted at
22 to 1 taken, and large sums were laid out on 'flieseus, at
40 and 35 to 1, and 1,000 to 30, and (at least ti 001.) on Bon-
nie lhuulee, at 30 to 1. Marlborough Buck was decidedly
in three at 15 to 1, and nu oue, we believe, would have laid
more than 16 to 1 apt Teddington ; Newminster again gave
way. We believe there is no truth in the report of Run-
ncymede'4 death.
The room will be opened on Saturday for this purpose of
settling on the Epsom events.

DEATH OP SIR GILBERT IIEATIICOTE,
Set Gilbert Heathrow, Bart., of Normanton Park, Rutland,
and of Darttans. Surrey, died at his seat, Dunham, on
Wednesday last, after a :hurt illness, aged 77. The de-
ceased baronet entered the Ilouse of Commons at the early
age of 21, where he represented the county of Lincoln in
three, and the county of Rutland in nine, parliaments. At
the dissolution in 101 l he retired from active political life,
and devoted himself to the amusements ,Jf the turf, on
which nu one was more distinguished for high principle and
honour. It is, perhaps, worthy of remark that during his
long political and sporting career on the turf he never made
a bet, and in his many elections he never had a contest. Sir
Gilbert won the Derby in 1038, and on that occasion, and
on all ethers, his success always appeared to give universal
satisfaction.

DEATII OF Ms. Jolty BleseNs.—Yesterday, tho
31st alt , died, at his residence in Keppel-street, Rumen-
square, Mr. John Dickens, a gentleman who for the last
quarter of a century has been connected with the London
daily press. In his earlier years Mr. Dickens held an im-
portant office in the Navy-pay Department, at Chatham
Dockyard, and up to the period of his decease wu in the
enjoyment of a pension for long service from the govern-
ment. It was toward; the period of middle life that he
joined the •' press," and he had been ever since known as
one of its most efficient, and at the same time, ono of its
most respected members. During his literary career he
I had been connected with the Mirror of Parlia meat, and the
Morality Herald, and upon the e,tablishment of the Daily
Netts he held a most responsible position in connexion with
its reporting staff—the acknowledged efficiency of which is
mainly due to his large experience and correct judgment.
REPRESENTATION OF BCRY.—The electors of this
borough are taking steps to secure the services of a gentle-
men to represent them in parliament at. the general elec-
tion, which it is believed is fast approachuig. Mr. Walker,
the present member, has never yet taken his seat, and, of
course, no one thinks of him. The conservatives are de-
sirous to bring forward Mr. Henry Hardman, a gentle-
man of some local influence; the liberals have not yet made
a ,lection, though the Reform Association is actively
moving in the matter, and purposes holding a meeting of
' electors on the subject in the course of a few days.
