TO THE EDITOR OF THE F.XPrE,S.

Stn,—Will you allow me to annum:co that her
Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness the Prince Con-
sort have graciously signified their intention to head the
list of patrons of the grand performance of the .11emialt at
Exeter-hall on Wednesday next, in aid of the funds for the
Coventry Weavers, by the "National Choral Society'
The chorus will number 500 members of the above society,
and the band will consist of the most eminent members of
the Philharmonic and Opera Orchestras. May I add that
the lading of the choir (about 200), have agreed to wear
Coventry ribbons, and venture to hope the lady visitors
will f. Mow their example?
If you will kindly give insertion to these remarks you
will doubtless increase the sale of tickets, which I regret to
my up to the present time is very limited.--I am, kr.,
O. W. M.ULTIN.

SPORTING.

TATTERSALL-..---'S-MONDAY.

A very numerous attendance of subscribers, comprising
many of the most influential backers of horses, excited ex-
pectations early in the afternoon that busimss would be
• y pursued. These anticipations were, however, disap-
pointed, and every movement was more indicative of
• trying the prices " than a desire to carry on legitimate
operations.
THE LIVERPOOL STEEPLECHASE.—Anatis upon an in-
creased outlay was supported at 12 to 1, and at two points
more the Emperor was backed for money, and Cockatoo
was in demand at 15 to 1. 20 to 1 was the highest offer
against Old Ben Roe, but barkers required two points
higher odds. Both The Tattler sad Jean du
quesne had an upward tendency at the odds
quoted. Bridegroom was asked after, hut beyond a few
stray shots at 25 to 1, nothing was done. Tom Moody,
the stable companion of Anatis, made his first appear-
ance, and was backed at 40 to 1, but towards the close any-
thing beyond 30 to 1 could not be obtained. Goldsmith,
who appeared in bad odour, lacked supporters, and left off
at 100 to 3 taken. Huntsman was touched upon at no to 1,
and 7 to 1 to "half-a-century," was booked about Freshman
and Mirth. coupled.
Trir.CuesrenCur.—After sane fine bye-play between the
supporters of the stable and the layers, 1,000 to 80 was laid
against Chen Amie, and immediately afterwards' some sharp
firing took place about Mao at Arms, 1,500 to 90 being
booked, and subsequently 1,500 to 100 was laid. and at the
close he evidently had the call of the mare. The Lawyer
was inrwqpuired for, but his clients refused 25 to 1. North
Lancashireand First Lord were the only others named, and
the found support at 40 to 1 each to small sums.
THE Two THOUSAND.— Kettledrum, about whom 7to 1
was offered early in the afternoon, receded to 8 to 1 offered,
and Diophantes was promoted to the premiership at 7 to 1,
taken very freely. Preceptress met with pupils at 8 to 1,
and 9 to 1 was offered against Klarikoff, and the like
odds oleo about Mr. Merry's colt Russley ; Overton was
backed at 10 to 1, and Conqueror, Walloon, and Deucalion
at to_ 1 each.

THE Luny.--Dundee was in tome, 9 to 2 being taken to
some money ; 100 to 6 was offered against Big Ben, 20 to 1
against K
20 to 1, a!lirikoff and
mn ban tea. •
ba Yolkestonmtae,eantACildon"arn at 40 to
t
1 each. The Drake, Knight of the Thistle, and Preceptress
found backers at 50 to 1, and from the outsido division King
of Kent was strongly fancied at 1,000 to 15, at which price
he was backed to win upwards of 12,0001. • 1,000 to 15 was
also taken about Deucalion and Cubit% 1,600 to 10 was laid
once about Aurelian, and 1,000 to 8 against Walloon.

GARIBALDI.
TO THZ lOXTOIL OT EXPRIDOI.

Htit,—Will you please to allow me to contradict
the statement of the Paris Correspondent of the Tin", of
Saturday last, that Garibaldi has left Ceprera? He neither
has left, nor intends leaving very soon.— I am. Le..
Feb. 4. WM. DE ROIIAN.

ITIMIT Or CARIBALDI TO ENOLAND. —A friend of
Garibaldi, in Newcastle, has had a letter from himwithin
the last day or two, in which the gen end says that it is his
settled deterministic') to visit England as anon as circum-
stances will allow him to leave Italy, and that, when in
this country, one of the first places he will go to will be
Newcastle. The result of the Italian elections renders a
campaign into Venetia this year doubtful; and should
matters in southern and eastern Europe subside fora time,
it is not improbable but that the Italian hero may visit
Tyneside before the autumn. —/Vorritstie Chronicle.
MR. SPUROZON'I4 METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE.
Dust evening • numerously attended public meeting was
held in this newly-erected place of worship for the purpose
of aiding in raising • sum of 4,000 f. to complete the
expenses attending the raising of the edifice, which was
presided over by the Hon. Arthur Kinnainl,
Mr. Spurgeon said it was intended to commence opening
the building on the 19th of March by holding a bazaar in aid
of the funds. On Monday, the 25th of March, he would
preach in it iu the afternoou, and throughout the week there
would be meetings connected with religious objects. He
would not preach there on the Sunday until it was even
whether or not they had funds sufficient to clear the build-
ing of debt, which he hoped would be ascertained by the
Sunday following, when, if it was so, he would preach in it.
if, however, such was not the case, they must just be put
to the inconvenience of going to Exeter-hall nod the crowded
little chapel in Paul-street, and be put to all the other in-
conveniences it was possible to put them to until they raised
the neceasary funds, for as lie had over and over again told
them he would never open the place for public worship on
Sunday until every shilling of the expense of building it was
paid, and it was totally clear of debt. It was announced at
the conclusion of the meeting that the amount given or
collected on that occasion was 5001., while in the course of
the past month from 800/. to 9001. had been collected by
the congregation.
Tin JURIDICAL Socieri.—The meeting of the
Juridical Society, held last night, at the rooms, St. Martin's-
place, Trafalgarsquare, was more fully attended than on
any occasion since the late Mr. Lewis, Q.C'., read his re-
markable paper upon the Blasphemy Laws. The Hon. G.
Denman. M.P., brought under the consideration of the
society the question " le the government of the United
States of America entitled under the Ashburton Treaty to
claim the extradition of the fugitive Anderson." Mr. IF. P.
Collier, Q.C., M.P., presided. Considerable discussion fol-
lowed dle address of the bon. gentleman, and the subject
was adjourned to a future meeting.
MIDLAND RAILWAT.—The directors of this com-
pany have decided to recommend • dividend on the ordinary
stock of the company for the past half-year, at the rate of
per cent. per annum.
