paraded in des form sa usual, but the labourers were more
numerous than the Mumma was plentiful, and several with bogs
winnNseceounts" went away empty. Speculation on the
Chester and the Derby was fitful, and it was not until Nat
upon the et the roots that anything like a " ring " was
formed. For the Cup Redcap and Delight were equal favourites
during a portion of the afternoon, 3 to 1 being offered on the
field, bet the adherente of the liesiebun stable soon none to the
rescue, and atter 300 to 100 had been accepted halt a point less
was booked to upwards of £r6o. Dellabt's position was incase-
rUy effected by the demonstration In favour of hie Weld, and
after Sto 1 had been taken to about t-'75 his friends—and they
were many—stood out for another half point, which, however,
they failed to procure. Dalby well sustained his character of the
" mysterious bone," and If there be anything solid and reliable
In the intentions of his party, it must be admitted that those
who pull the strings are no nooks in the art. 6 to 1
was offered In hundreds " with • stem " by one of
the picot stentorian of speculators, • liberal proffer
which, however, he amended in bringing to a Dractical
Issue once, and that to c.lO. Of the remainder, the only animal
that showed • " twining " appearance was Sandal, who would
have met with support at 0.0 to 1. For the Derby, Sto 1 only
was offered against Rustic and 3to 1 sot Lord Lyon, but at half
a point more respectively they would have been backed for good
money. Early in the afternoon we sew 20 " ponies " taken MIMS
Redan ; but a well-known bookmaker attacked him
soon afterwards with the long thou of li.oo to 40, wrir,TaloY

some money at 26 to 1, but the Win wino still MIAOW 40 lay
those odds, despite the rumoured " good thing '• the Marquis's

MORAL.
This order of inquiry is not irrational in the domestic
establishment, nor, in the political establishment : is it
irrational to determine who ought to be electors before
determining what ought to be the electoral districts?

SUICIDE BY A LAD.— A youth of 17, named
Thomas Lord Webster, residing with his sister at Pudsey,
in the West Riding, had on Friday some domestic differ-
ence, and aubsequently,after making an ineffectual attempt
to cut his throat, drowned himself in the mill-dam of
Messrs. C`rayshard, of Pudsey.
Music AT IiAMBUR(I.—A letter from Hamburg
says :—" Like the whole of the German race, the good
people of Hamburg love music, and know how to distin-
guish good from bad. Theresa Titiens, our London
favourite, born here of very humble parents, but now ad-
mitted into the very d it" of society gave a few represen-
tations here on the boards of the Stsdt Theatre, previous
to leaving for England. Although the prices were much
higher than usually charged, every seat was taken
long before the doors opened, and the whole town
and country are still ringing with her praise,
al though her place at the theatre is at the
present moment disputed by two of Gerniany'e moat cele-
brated tenors, Messrs. Nieman and Theodor Wachtel. The
former, besides being the possessor of a most beautiful
voice, is the envied husband of the celebrated tragedian,
e. Seebaeli, of whom Germany is so justly proud,
and who has been tempered by many of our old play-goers
to the celebrated Mrs. Siddons. Ilerr Theodor Wachtel
you had an opportunity of hearing last summer in Lon-
don, where he was engaged at Covent Garden, and
I well recollect the favourable impression he made
on our English public. Nut many years since
this gentleman was the driver of a public vehicle here in
Hamburg, hot his voice having been heard by some con-
noisseurs, he was advised to leave the road and take to
the boards. He is now one of the German stars, and
' engaged at a great salary at the Hof Theatre, at Berlin,
with permission to travel at certain periods of the year to
recruit his health and overfill his pockets. The next
celebrity expected here is Jenny Lind-Gohlochmidt, for
whose arrival great preparations are being made in
the musical world. This great songstress has kindly
consented to assist at a great fete, which, be-
ginning on the 31st of next month, is to last three
days, and of which Mr. Otto Goldschmidt is to be the
conductor. kiandel's Afes4ah is to be sung on the
opening night, Madame Lind-Goldochieidt taking the
soprano part, the choruses being sung by amateurs under
the leadership of M. Stockhausen, who has just returned
from St. Petersburg, where he has earned not only golden
opinions, but many roubles and ducats, and who on this
occasion has himself undertaken the arduous tenor part.
On the two successive days Madame Lind-oohlschmitit is
to delight the public with some other pieces of her cele-
brated repertoire not yet fixed upon, with the exception
of Hands 's celebrated but seldom executed ode, " Cecelia."
Madame Lind-Goldachmidt, who has spent the winter in the
south of France, is to sing, previous to her arrival
here, at the Dusseldorf festival, fixed to take place
about Whitsuntide. Should any of your fair readers in-
tend to be present there, I would strongly advise an early
application for room, as lodgings are already very dear in
that usually cheap town, whooe inhabitants, however, now
seem determined to reap a golden harvest, and to take ad-
vantage of this occasion to show their neighbours how
much can be got out of a music-loving public. By her
marriage, Jenny Lind has become connected with some
greatly respected families here, and her mother-in-law,
Madame Goldechmidt, senior, is not only an authoress of
unoponniean.ooreepootte

ment, now so widely spread throughout Germany, and so

CHOLEILA SNIP AT HAIIYAX.—The steamship
England, from Liverpool 23th, via Queenstown 29th ult.,
arrived at Halifax, N.S., yesterday morning for medical
assistance, she having cholera on board. The England was
bound for New York. She had over twelve hundred par
nage= on board. During the voyage one hundred and
sixty cases of cholera occurred amongst them. There were
fifty deaths. The England was quarantined, but oar news
agent at Halifaxobtaiaed the following telegraphic report
of tersome difficulty. With regard to the breaking out and pre.
valence of cholera on board the England, Captain Grace,
her commander, reports from Halifax that on Tuesday,
April 3, the first case of cholera occurred, since which time
one hundred and sixty more oases have broken out,
and fifty deaths have occurred. She was ordered off
by the government, but owing to the rapid spread of
the disease and the engineers being sick it was found
impossible to proceed. She now lies below the lighthouse.
Part of the plowmen will be placed on board the lumpiest
ship and shanties erected on the beach for the sick. There
will be no communication with the ship. The authorities
are doing all in their power to relieve the unfortunate
pummels. There are three doctors on board to look
after the sick. She has twelve hundred and two passen-
gers sad a crew of one hundred. The passengers are prin-
cipally Gannon and Irish. The captain thinks the disease
was brought an board by the German pseseng.—Nets
