Betting at starting : 6 and 7 tot riga Snitcher, Lord Strathmorc's
two agst the geld.
The race was as fine a one as ever was seen. The course,
which was situated near the Croix de Remy, consisted of two
small circles connected together by a long straight piece of
country; the circle neat the winning-170 M was along the side
of a bill, 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, Closely second, St.
Legcr in the ruck behind. At one of the fences in mounting
the side of the hill, Snitcher refused, but his rider driving
him at it forted him through. They then all came down
the hill nearly together, having to clear four or five fences
and a wall in their way. Discount was first over the brook,
Matchless second, St. Leger third ; Switcher's hind legs
caught in the bank, but his rider got him up cleverly ; Hack
and his rider fell in and lost all chance. They then drove
along up to the circle, being for a while lost sight of
by the spectators. When they appeared again they were
nearly all together, and seven of the hones were over the
last leap within a few seconds of each other. St. Leger,
and Young Lottery, and Discount were all en a line. The
two former got a little in advance just at the finish, and
finally St. Leger, after whip and spur were plied, won by a
neck. It was a quick run race considering the state of the
ground, upwards of four miles being done in lee. than II
I minutes. Value of stakes about 30,000 f. The Duke de
Nemours arrived just as the race had concluded. The
crowd was immense, and the number of carriages greater
than last year. The weather was fine in the morning, and
wet during the running.

RAILWAY PILOBSCUTION.—Edward Doyle and Joseph
Allen were indicted for stealing a bale of cloth, the property
of Messrs. Chaplin and Horne, and another count laid the
property as belonging to the Great Western Railway Com-
pany. Allen, it appeared, was in the employ of Messrs.
Chaplin and Horne, and the only evidence against him was
that he was seen playing at cards with Dille three days
before the robbery, and that he stood near Doyle against the
van shortly before he was detected with the bale in his poe-
sereion. The transit of the bale from a house in the City to
the Paddington terminus was proved. Doyle was found
with the bale endeavouring to get away from the Padding-
ton station, and he was arristed.—The jury Acquitted Allen,
and declared Doyle Guilty.—Sentence: 12 moi.the bard
labour.—This was the last use for trial this 'elision. The
court stands adjourned until the 10th of May.

ARMY SERVICE BILL.

Mr. F. MAULS said that, considering the nature of the
Army Service Bill, which was to be read a third time on
Thursday, he thought it would be more expedient that the
two purposes for which it wu intended, via., first to limit
the time of service in the army, and secondly to render
effective the service of the Chelsea and Greenwich out.
pensioners , should be made more distinct, and that the
house should have an opportunity of expressing its opinion
as to limited service in the army, unburthened by any
other consideration; he should therefore on Thursday move
that clauses 4,6, 6, 7 and 8, referring to the Chelsea and
Greenwich out-pensioners should be struck out ; and on
Friday he would bring in a separate bill for rendering
effective the service of the Chelsea and Greenwich out-
pensioners. Ilia object was merely to divide the bill into
two parts.
The house then adjourned at • quarter before seven o'clock.

PROVINCIAL.

THE SCHEME OP EDOCATION.—The meeting of dissenters
at Manchester, adjourned from the town-hall on Monday
morning, to the comexchange in the evening, lasted from
seven till ten o'clock, and was addressed by the Rev. F.
Tucker, the Rev. D. Ford, Mr. Prentice, the Rev. Dr.
Dsvidson, the Rev. R. Morris, the Rev. E. Pears, Mr. T.
Roberts, and Mr. J. Bird. The reeol utions were tattle effect that
the tendencies of the proposed measure were to augment the
wealth of the establishment, enervate voluntary efforts, pro-
mote error equally with truth, prejudicial to the liberty of
the subject by placing the power in a privy council whose
principles would change with the change of ministers,
degrading to religion, and dangerous to those int9llec-
tual and moral qualities constituting the glory of the
nation, while violence was done to the consciences of many
loyal persons, by premiums being held out to attend religious
duties. On these and the resolutions passed at the morning's
meeting, a petition to the House of Commons was founded,
which is to be transmitted, for presentation, to Mark Philips,
Esq., T. M. Gibson, Esq., and Jos. lisetherton, EA., the
members of parliament for Manchester and Salford; and a
request is to be made to the members for the county, sad to
John Bright, Esq., that they will support it. There were
no new arguments brought out in the discussion, but it is
worthy of obsseration that in this, the largest and most
respectable meeting of dissenters ever held at Manchester,
at which it has been proposed t raise the whole question of
the policy of religious establishments, every expression
of disapprobation against the church, is its relation to the
state, was caught up and cheered to the echo. There were
prohshly from 1,500 to 1,800 persons present.
EXTENSION OP THE ELECTRIC TELEORAPH. The
Liverpool Times of yesterday states that a gentleman was in
that town on Saturday last makina arrangements for intro.
during that mode of communication between Liverpool and
the metropolis. He had previously made similar arrange-
ments in Manchester; and it is hoped that both these capitols
of Lancashire will he connected with London and with each
other by means of the electric wire, within three months of

APRIL 13.—The Wool

trade continues very languid, and prices are stationary.
Were it not, however, for small stocks on hand, prices mud
recede. The late small advances in grain, together with the
screw being put upon the money market, makes things look
extremely dull.

CATTLE, &c.—BOURN FAlL—This fair was well
supplied with both Beasts and Sheep, for which strong
prime were asked. Buyers were, however, indisposed to
give money, sad ultimately sales were pretty generally
effected at current rates. There were some very nice Beasts
shown from the herd of Mr. Henry Hodgkin, of Dyke (late
of &Lanham), which commanded attention and high pnces.
PlllOlll7B FAlL—Then was a fair supply of fat Cattle, for
which the sale was good, at from 545. to 58e. per cwt. High
prices were demanded for stores, but not many were sold.
Fat Sheep were very plentiful, and those sold fetched lid.
per pound. Cows and Calves brought 50s. to 640. per cwt.

SALISBURY, APRIL 13.—An unusual number of Calves
for sale ; fat, made 10s. to 10.. 6d. per score ; lean, from 106.
to 161. ; sucklings, 6s. to Bs. Store Pigs sold at 101. 6d. to
Ils. per score.

GLASGOW, APWIL 12.—The supply of Sheep and Cattle
in the market this morning was very scarce. All were sold
off at high prices. Best Beef and Tallow brought 10s. 6d.
per tron stone. Best white-hoed Sheep, 46e. ; black. faced,
from 365. to 42a., according to quality.

had just returned to the settlement from an expedition lit
Ruatan on the 20th February the date of the last do
patches. The February Grand Court was to open its maim
on the 22nd.
The Honduras Observer and Gazette states that tits
" cuttings" of mahogany this season will not be more this
one half of last year's—say 74 to 8 millions of feet. The
number of " gangs " employed for this season were less the
for the last; and wages had bees greatly reduced-12 to 16
dollars a month. The following list shows the number of gsaP
of logwood cutters actually employed in British Honduras
towards the end of February, and their distribution. TM
list begins with the boundary river to the north (the Roads)
and proceeds to the river which constitutes the southern
boundary of the territory (the Sarstoon). The last dee
would seem to imply that thirteen gangs are at work withal
the territory of Central America: Rio Hondoand tributaries,
14 gangs ; New River, 1.5; Northern River, 2; Betas

In the first week of February the Honduras Observer ea
Gazette began to notice, for the first time, the movements d
the coasting trade in its commercial lists. This is a Telltale
addition, and perhaps better calculated than any other hied
of information to impress home readers with a just appro

FLAXMAN'S MODELS AND RELIEVI.—A very in-
teresting collection of full-sized modes, half-sized models,
relievi, and sketches, has just been deposited in the ball of
London University. The collection consists of a nearly
complete series of the works of Flaxman, and is believed to
contain the whole of the models left by the great sculptor in
I his studio in Buckingham-street, ar.d bequeathed by him to
I his sist,i,Mias Flaxman, and his Cater in-law, Miss ll,nman.
We have had an opportunity of examining this collection,
and, though as yet it is wholly nnarranged, even a hurried
glance is sufficient to convince one of the importance and
value of the collection. Here are the original models for the
marbles at Petworth, of the St. Michael and the Pastoral
Apollo, the only full-sized models Flaxman is under-
stood to have executed ; for his general principle
was to work Lis marble from a half-sind model—an incon-
venient practice, injurious to true proportion, and of which
he is said to have hem at length sensible himself. This in-
jurious practice gives an additional value to the original
models—for here we have Flaxmates mom work in Flaxman 's
proportions. The exquisite feeling of several of the bas reliefs
is truly wonderful ; and some of the models for his statues of
Nelson, Mansfield, and Sir Joshua Reynolds are full of manly
dignity and beauty. Harman not only wrou3ht with a
Greek but an English spirit, and we coot.ratulate the heads
of the college, and the public at large, on the possession and
permanent exhibition or the works of the greatest of English
sculptors. To have seen Plumate' works in marble one
must have visited not only • very large number of the cathe-
drals, churches, galleries, and private corections in this
country, but have actually travelled into India. As Chantey
is to be seen at Oskird, so, we are happy to think, Flaxman
will soon be seen in London.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—Yesterday there was
morning performance in this theatre, consisting of Rostiei's
" Stobat Mater." and a selection of miscellaneous music, in
which the who evcc.ll and inetrumentol strength of the com-
pony was engaged. The " Stabat Mater" is now well-
known to the musical public, having been repeatedly per-
formed both in London and at provincial music meetings. It
has nothing of the grave and havers character which pro-
potty belongs to rec!esisstical music, but is fkrid,sLowy, and
theatrical, both in its vocal parts and its ill ttrumentu:inn. It
his, however, much beauty, and when well performed
never fail., in defionce of crievism, to delight the audience.
It did so yesterday ; the vocal parts being admirably sung
by Grisi, Alboui, Sun , axd Marini. The oe attires 14
"Oberon" and the " Barbiere di Siviglia " were gggggied
with immense effect; and several far,ao.4 airs, contorted
pieces, and charu.•.:, were encenvady performed, and much
applauded. Every part of the theatre was crowded.

FRENCH PLAYS.—ST. JAHnta.c.—A pleasant trifle,
" La Carotte d'Or," was pmcluesd here yesterday evening
with Bay& u its principal personage, Her Majesty and

doubly miserable by insisting upon his claimir,
the title ; and, as he will nut do this hisuselt,
does it for him. la her temporary absence on

and, with the girl's lover, a young aspirant de terrine, the
sou of • neglected naval lieutenant ; and on her return,
radiant with triumph at having obtained the restitution of
the title, and, by way of supporting it, the appointment of
her husband to a corvette, the tobacconist slips out, runs to
the minister, and, declining the marquisate, tran‘leri his
claim to the corvette to the father of his wife's niece. The
wife, all furious, rushes out, insisting upon a separation, a
proposition which the husband is but too happy to adopt.

BIRTHDAY OF H.R.H. PRINCE ALBERT.
Yesterday being the anniversary of the birthday of
H.R.H. Prince Albert, who then entered his 29th year, the
morning was ushered in by merry peals from moat of the
metropolitan and suburban churches. There was a holiday
at all the public offices, and at one o'clock the park and
Sower guru fired a royal salute.
Notwithstanding the absence of her Msjesty and her illus-
trious consort from town, the congratulatory calls made at
Buckingham Palace throughout the day were most numerous,
and the names entered on the visiting books embraced those
of the cabinet ministers, the foreign ambassadors, corps
diplomatipsc, dignitaries of the church, and two universities,
with nobility and gentry at present remaining in town. In
the evening his royal highness's tradesmen dined together,
and at night their houses, as well as the clubs, were bril-
liantly illuminated.
At Windsor also, royal salutes were fired from the corpo-
ration ordnance in the Bachelors' Acre, from the battery at

the lake. In the evening, J. T. Bedborough, Esq., the
mayor, presided at a public dinner, which took place at the
Town-hall. A very large party also dined at the Royal
Adelaide Hotel, in honour of the occasion; the chair being
taken by Mr. Samuel Minton, purveyor to her Majesty. A
splendid display of fireworks took place in the grounds of
the hotel during the evening. Three bucks from the royal
park, and a liberal quantity of fruit fr. m her Majesty's gar-
den at Frogmore, were supplied to the two banquets by
command of the Queen. The bells of the pariah church
were ?tug at intervals during the day; and in the evening
time attic houses of the royal tradesmen were illuminated.

LANDLORDS.

To THE ENGLISH MEMBERS OP PARLIAMENT AND
PCBLlC.—Sir,—Whilst the Times has been industriously
holding uo the whole rice of Irish proprietors to the scorn
of the English, and the outrage of the Irish public, your
paper has hitherto maintained so impartial a view on all
topics relating to Ireland, that I am induced to hope you
will permit a member of that proscribed and (if the present
murders should continue) decreasing clam, the resident
Irish landlords, to address a few words imploring the aid
and sympathy of his English fellow-countrymen, through
the medium of your columns. In the language of the Clare
deputation, commented on in your paper ef Saturday, I have
for some years past been "trying to exist" on an estate in the
south of Ireland, with a nominal rent roll of 2,5001. per an-
num, three part of which belong to a mortgagee, consequently,
the late failure of the potato crop, owing to my land being
subdivided into farms of 5 and 10 acres, has reduced me to
absolute poverty ; whatever rent can be collected gees to de-
fray the mortgages which were handed down with the
estate, whilst all the vengeance of such tenants as are
ejected for non-payment threatens to descend noon my
devoted head. I can neither sell my land, nor leave the
country. Many of my neighbours are in the same plight,
cursed it may be said with a " fixity of tenure," which rea-
ders theme misery to themselves, and useless to society. Last
year we had • gleam of hops that " a bill foe the sale of en-
cumbered estates" would become law : it was strangled in its
birth. Now, sir, as I am convinced that no material good
can be effected in Ireland, without some such measure be
speedily passed, I ask your powerful advocacy in its favour,
for, depend upon it, until the land be placed fairly in the
market, and broken-down proprietors like myself enabled to
emancipate themselves from the inglorious position of being
called landlords without having the means to discharge the
duties of their station, the redundant labour of Ireland can
never be absorbed.—One word to the British public—in the
future legislation of Ireland—if this wretched country is to
be regenerated—some stringent measures for the protection
of life and property must be immediately taken. I care not
whether a whig, tory, or radical government be in
power, measures approaching to coercion must be
paused, unites a philosophical public be content to

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Two o'awk.—The continued favourable prices from
country parts, together with the quiet course of affairs
here, contributed to make a firm market in the funds
this morning, although without any remarkable
advance in prices. Consols from 814 to 2 for money,
and 821 to 1 for time, improved soon after the com-
mencement of business to 82 to for time, and 82 to
1 for money. They have since given way upon suc-
cessive sale., however, nearly per cent., being called
82 toy for time, and 814 to 2 for money, so that they
are now at the exact closing rates of yester-
day. It is reported that the Overland Mail
is tn, and brings unfavourable news. The
large quantities of stock known to be held by
various parties in the house is also one of the chief
causes of this constant retrogression of prices upon
every rise. Reduced Threes are 8O to 1. Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents., 82 to 1. Exchequer Bills,
18s. to 13s. discount. Bank Stock, 183 to 5.
. .

Our foreign stocks remain without material change,
and as few transactions as usual. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents., .531 to ; the Fours, 8111 to 21.
Spanish Fives, 161 to ; the Threes, 26 to 7.
Portuguese, 21 to 2. Mexican, 151 to 161. Brazi-
lian, 761 to 71.,. Russian, 104 to G.
We have considerable arrivals of gold from Ham-
burg reported this morning by the steamer,
the amount in some quarters carried as high as half a
million, which may probably be an exaggeration.
Some portion would probably be from St. Petersburg,
dispatched rid Hamburg.
The meeting of Messrs. Barclay, Brothers', creditors
is now being held. From what could be shortly
gathered, it appears, as expected, that the house was
brought down by its involvments in the Mauritius.
Three o' Clock.—The stoppage of the Shrewsbury
bank of Messrs. Adams, Warren, & Co., has just
become known. It is stated in answer to inquiries at
the house of agency, that advices were received to-
day from Shrewsbury to the effect.

fore the 12th, and they are, if possible, more contra-
dictory since. Confined here in rheumatic dignity, I
opine, with Sir Roger de Corerley, "that much may
be said on both sides." I believe that an extensive
epidemic prevails among the birdx, but that certain
localities have escaped. For example, one lugubrious
friend writes me from his shooting-box in the Crieff
district :

Tbe shooting b very bed indeed. Tbere Is not one bird where
there were My lad year—no, net one for a hundred. It is useless
going out, so on Monday I return lima
- -

As my friend is-On elder in the Kirk, it may be ad-
visable to note that he deferred his departure till
Monday on account of his aversion to Sabbath trra-
'filling, not with a view to taking a sly shot on
Sunday. The days of Callum Beg are gone, and
Sunday does now "come aboon the Paas o' Bally-
: brough." In strict honesty, however, I must admit
that there was a jolly party assembled at the lodge,
with 'a fair supply of Glenlivat. Now for the per
contra : it comes from the braes of Atholl

To make some amends for the unequal crop of
grouse, the red deer are in fine condition. The stag's
heads are already free of velvet.
Your west country correspondents will keep you
informed of the Queen's progress. Dun-Edin is almost
deserted. The whole population are " stepping west-
ward."—Vide Wordsworth's Poems.
To return to more sublunary matters : a popular
retrograde movement has been made by the town-
council of Kirkaldy, which, by a majority of 8 to 7,
has resolved to exclude the public from their meetings.
A new addition has been made to the catalogue of
railway dangers. On Saturday evening, while a
I goods train was going from Edinburgh to Berwick, a
stoker engaged at the top of the funnel inhaled the
sulphuric fumes of the coke, which immediately ren-
dered him insensible, and he fell with violence to the
ground, striking the iron frame of the engine in his
descent. Medical assistance being obtained he soon
after recovered ; but his case may serve as a warning
to avoid similar inspirations.

be no temptation for capitalists or monied people to take

abstraction of so much capital so invested tem-
porarily cannot bat be productive of incon-
venience and pressure in the particular direction
of the interests acoommodatedi and of the money mar-
kets of the locality. The slims so withdrawn will
then more forcibly toll in aggravation of the hostile
Wanes of trade against this copin, for it is believed
that in Liverpool alone several hundreds of thousands
of pounds of American funds are thus locked up for
the time in loans upon railway stocks.
More than one of the Liverpool banks are, it is
generally' understood, deeply engaged also in loans
upon railway securities, which, by the way, is not the
sort of business usually deemed to be consistent with
sound banking principles.
