DERBY SUMMER MEETING. —WiDNZSDAT.
In cons isuence of the frost it was unable to bold the Derby
Spring Meeting in the week of its original aslare was deter-
mined. therefore, to prolong the summer villains to three
days for this year ; but unfortunately tbe weather was so wretch-
edly wet that the opening deg could not he otherwise than
agreeable, and the course being very heavy the fields were
miserably small, while the Chesterfield Stakes and the Moira
Haus"cap were b' th decided by walks over. Rain had been fall-
ing more or less since Sunday, but the elements seemed to have
concentrated all their energies for a perfect deluge yesterday, as,
with one Islet exception, rain fell heavily throughout the day.
It la not surprising. under these cheeinstances, that the attend-
ance was very small, and that all who were there should be
-VITT of the afternoon's sport long before it was concluded. The
:oliewing return contains the details of an uninteresting day's
mining. There was some speculation on the St. Leger during
the intervals between the racing ; but the list of quotations will
sufficiently indicate the amount of the business transacted.

venturing out, and rendering the ground quite soft, and the

was a perceptible diminution from the opening day. At the
time for the commencement of the sport the rain cessed, bat as
the day wore on showers fell at Intervals, rendering the rae

COLNE VALLEY AND HALSTEAD RAILWAY.—The
half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Halstead,
laws., on Tuesday ; Mr. J. Brewster in the chair. An
abstract of the directors' report has already appeared.
The chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, said
the directors regretted to have again to meet the share-
holders under circumstances of difficulty. The addition
made to capital account during the past half-year (LOU.)
had been occasioned by a payment for land tenants' com-
pensation and legal expenses incident to these matters.
Upon the remainder of its liabilities the company was pay-
ing interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. He re-
gretted the falling off of nearly 1,0001. on the half-year in
traffic receipts. After some questions by Mr. Cardinall,
Mr. Fitch, and other gentlemen, the report was adopted.
A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings.
PUBLIC COMPANIES IN CHANCE/W.—The Chief
clerk (Mr. Peake) is again occupied in the winding-up
matters of several public companies. The learned gentle-
man has been busily engaged this " vacation" in such
matters and occupied to late hours. By a rule of the
court all winding up cases during the vacation are heard in
one court. Vice-Chancellor Stuart is the vacation fudge,
but the Master of the Rolls will discharge the dutiee to
Saturday next
