Yesterday the Earl of Shaftesbury presided at the annual
meeting held in Willis's Rooms, St. James's. The object
of the association, as explained in the prospectus and
report, is to provide extended religious and secular in-
struction among the deaf and dumb throughout the
metropolis after they have quitted school, and the im-
provement of their condition generally, the modes
olrxi,ie being periodical religious services, lectures,
liaise visitations, assistance in obtaining employment,
ptcuniary relief by luaus or gifts of money, and the en.
couragenient of the early training of deaf and dumb
children preparatory to their admission into educational
institutions. Amongst the visitors were Lord Carberry,
who is Lionel( deaf and dumb; Lard Ebury. Mr. J. 1.
l'ortesme, mud several other warm friends of the charity.
The report, which was read by the Rev. Mr. Smith, the secre.
tary, gives the total receipts for tile year at I.29iii. fis.
being an increase of 1221.175. 10.1. over those of the previous
year, and the expenses of in in a;ernent at 1321. 4t.1 id. The
number relieved has been lor ; loans granted, 2ii ; and deaf
and dumb children apprenticed, 9. Tho attendance at the
weekly sorvi,as :toil lectures his increased. Referring to
the information gained through the experience of the
society. the report mentions that the majority of deaf and
dumb children spring from irriages between first cousins
and other blood relations, and suggest legislative inter-
ference for preventing such unions. Lord Ebury, in mov-
ing the adoption of the report, drew attention to the great
benefits such an association was calculated to confer upon
a class whose infliction rend !reel them objects of special
sympathy, and pointed out the efficiency of the machinery
employed. As showing the adaptability of the deaf and
dumb fur high artistic cultitation he referred to a very
Leautiful model for a sculptured group, the work of a deaf
and dumb sculptor. The motion, having been secondid by
Mr. J. F. Fortescue, was carried. Addresses urging the
claims of the institution were likewise delivered by Mr. .T.
Michael, the Rev. .1. F. Kitto, Rev. S. Smith, Mr. C.
Magard. and, in acknowledging the vote of thanks to him
fur presiding, by Lord shafteribury.

SUPPOSED MU•unr:u AN I, Sou 10E. —A mysterious
occurrence has just come to light at Identhorpe, about live
miles front Selby. It :wears that a young man named
Adamson has recently been paying his addresses to a
youn4 woman named Battle, whose parents keep Men-
thorpe•ferry. Adam Ain was nut successful in securing
the approval of the eld.•r Buttlea, nor did Mils Buttle
afford hint much enconr weinent, though she had not given
him a positive denial. 4 Sunday evening last they both
attended chapel at Bubwith, a village about a mile and a
half distant. They were seen returning together on the
banks of the Derwent, but they never reached home. Sub-
sequently Adanison's hat was found on the hanks of the
river, not a long way from the ferry ; a search was prose-
cuted, and his body was recovered on Tuesday morning
only a few yards from the place where his hat was found.
No tidings of the young woman have hecn heard, ■nd
there is too much reason to fear that the man first
drowned the object of his affections and then committed
suicide.

THE EXPLOSIoN ACa Lo,s OF LIFE AT LtrEn-
Pool.. —The Liverpool coroner held an inquest yesterday
on the bodies of James ihrper, Joseph Hope, and John
Dix, the three men killed by an explosion which took
place at a firework manufactory in Dee-street, West
Derby-road, on Tu•:eday. The remains of the men pre-
sented a dreadful, sickening appearance. The corpses
wero completely buret to a cinder, and could scarcely be
recognised as remnants of humanity. The evidence went
to show that Hope and Harper were joint proprietors of
the building in question, where they carried on the busi-
ness of firework manufacturers. At the moment the catas-
trophe occurred they were em; iged in charging rockets,
Dia reading a paper to them whilst they were at work. A
man named Canister quitted the factory a few minutes
prior to the explosion, and left them so employed. The
building was completely destroyed. Nothing was adduced
to prove the real cause of the accident, and the jury
returned a verdict to the effect that the deaths were the
result of an explosion, but how it was caused there was
no evidence to show

THE DERBY.

(ntom OCR RPORTINO CORBR,ToNDENT4

The reat ruing festival is over, and thousands will
awake to-morrow morning to real the particulars ult-
imata with the important event decided on Epsom Downs ,
to-day. S 3 much has been said of the Imbrium' aseocia-
Rona of the Derby-day year after rar, that we will not
reproduce them here ; suffice it to say that the day of
all days of the ten was never more glorious in any of its
associations, the w ether being perfectly delightful, and
the vast concourse of spectators keeping pace with in-
creaming census. The Grand Stand was literally crammed
with the aristocratic and fashionable element of society ;
the ring mustered a great ar ny of speculators, and the
carriages lined the opposite side of the course in an
unbroken array from the entrance up to Tattenham corner.
On the bill the usual swarm of holiday makers were
gathered thick and dean ; and in !red the whole downs
presented the a apearaece of an irr.inente army encamped,
and all the vagaries of the oceasiou were is full force. For
some years marked improvements have been made in the
course for the accommodation of visitor,, and on this anni-
versary the " outsiders" found a great. boon in the space
railed off by the side of the straight run in, where they
were enabled to enjoy a view of the races without being
encioachmi upon and shut out by vehicles drawn clue up
as heretofore. Wonderful order preveile 1 and Londe- I
meanoura were happily very sauce, one police van suf-
ficing to hold the wale'ac;ors of that tremendous throng
of people. By way of a preliminary canter to the big
event the first race, the Bentinok Plate, was got over
with very little ceremony. and less excitement. A taiga
field, cam; rising must of those coloured on the card,
went to the post, and a great many of the
horses were backed, but the winner turned up in Airdrie,
who was never mentioned. An adjournment was then
made to the paddxk by those who possessed the privilege
of entry to inspect the heroes of the grand contest. A more
pleasant change c tu:d scarcely be conceived than that
from the arid, heated, dusty downs to this beautiful little
oasis of green sward and shady trees ; and there was a per-
fect mob of the cognoszenti gathered there in a short time.
The first of the candidates observable were the Duke of
Newcastle's pair, Pace and Speculum, who were being led
up and down under the trees at the lower end. Pace, a big-
framed coach-horse-looking oolt, was evidently as fit as
hands could make him, and so far as size and condition
went he seemed adapted to the course ; but he lacked
quality, and indeed had very little of the racer about him.
Speculum. on the other hand, though on a small scale,
was very neat and wiry. walking very springily and look-
ing up to his work, though one could not but be im-
pressed with the ides that a handicap was
his fittest sphere. shortly afterwards in Indian file came
Green Sleeve, Blue Gown, and liosicrucian, headed by
their trainer, Porter, and they proceeded to the stalls at
the lower end, foil steel by a host of admirers, eager to
get the moat of them at a glimpse; and indeed while
they were being saddled, it was almost imposaible to get
near them for some time. Green Sleeve, notwithstanding
the asset Lou of same wiseacres to the effect that she had
not improved. looked a perfect picture of a racehorse,
and elicited great admiration from all around. She cer-
tainly has not grown to any great extent, but has far-
nished out into a superb filly, her beautiful bloodlike head
being set on her equally well-shaped neck and shoulders
' like a gem iu a ring. Blue Gown, who was in the centre,
drew, perhaps, the greatest attention, from his magnificent
condition and fine shining coat, which, being a blight
day, glistened in the sun like eighteen carat gold. He
stands on short legs, but has an immense frame, full of
every good quality necessary for a Derby horse, and is
moreover one of the finest tempered animals in training.
Rosicrucian, last though not least of this wonderful equine
group, would have deceived many es to his real condition,
for he was drawn quits fine enough, but that seemed
owing to more hurried preparation than is compatible
with the training for so severe a struggle. Indeed the
horse looked perfectly " done up," and did not move with
anything like Lie usual elasticity. Nothing more docile
could be desired for a Derby horse thca Rasicrucien, and
he has a fine powerful frame, which augured every proba-
bility of his pulling off several races of importance when
he has had sufficient time to be got St Paul Jones,
though not unlike the steam engine which his owner
persists in styling him, being a level made powerful
colt. could not be set down as anything beyond
a handicap horse who could go over any distance under
light weights, but could take no prominent part in fashion-
able Set lffib company. Orion took the eye at a moment's
g'ance by his exceedingly- racing like appearance, and with
a doubt of his staying capabilities in abeyance. No out-
sider in the r tee looked so able to upset the favouri es,
and pull off the coup for his spirited owner, who backed
hint for an immense sum. St. Ronan, a narrow, lanky
colt, seemed more fit to draw a brougham in Belgrave-
square than aspire to Derby honours ; and great surprise
was repressed that such a huge brute should have attained
so prominent a position as he did in the race for the Two
Thousand. Franchise, who ensue with high credentials
from the dangerous St. Albans and Savernake
stable, disappointed everybody with her weedy, mean
appearance, looking as if a good gust of wind
would blow her and her jockey over the rails in the
race, and bearing no trace of the fine conformation of the
Bribery stock. One of the numerous unnamed colts of
the Earl of Glasgow was put through his toilet by his
trainer,Jos. Dawson, in an extreme corner at the lower
end, and but for the said trainer being with him, would
have attracted no notice ; for though a fine grown horse,
he is palpably of a moat inferior class. Samson was, per-
haps, the handeotnest horse of the whole bunch, and great
attention seemed to have been paid to him before sending
hiss to the post, his bright chestnut coat almost reflecting
the colours of his rider like a mirror. Cap-a-Pie looked a
smart chestnut, with any amount of speed, butnot an ounce
of stamina. See SAW was little short of an impostor, and
has trained off into a pudgy, spindle-shanked
brute, with no more pretensions to Derby form than the
Newmarket Jockey Club donkey. Suffolk, though vastly
improved since he last made his appearance, was still
nothing but a cob, his thick, burly frame and abort bull
neck putting bins out of court in the opinion of all good
judges. His stable companion, King Alfred, notwit•hstand-
lug that he played second fiddle, and was almost un-
noticed by those who took stock of Suffolk, was by far the
more taking animal, being a fine raking colt, with great
power and stamina. Viscount is soiree worth comment,
as it was plainly evident he was a very moderate horse.
The favourite, Lady Elizabeth, being saddled at the other
end of the course, did not come under inspection until she
appeared in the race. Soon otter the time appointed, the
parti-coloured cavalry regiment issued from the enclosure,
and, headed by Martin Starling, took their way up the
course, attended as usual by an immense mob.
The bones appeared in the following order :—ltosioru-
clan, Blue Gown, led by Porter, and Green Sleeve. Then
came Forest King, the Duke of Newcastle's pair, Orion,
Samson, Cap-a-pie, See Saw, Maid of Masbam colt, St.
Ronan, Suffolk, King Alfred, Paul Jones, Viscount, and
Franchise. After walking to the stand the lot cantered to
nearly Tattenham Corner. Paul Jones led the way,
followed by Rosicrucian, Green Sleeve, Blue Gown, and
the remainder. Pace, while cantering, broke down is
front of the stand, and Aldoroft, pulling him up, dis-
mounted and walked him back to the saddling paddock
amidst great sensation, where he was met by the Duke of
Newcastle looking unutterable things. While the others
were being led to the poet, Lady Elizabeth and Cocked-
the-Walk were observed in the distance proceeding to
Langley-bottom, to meet their horses. Marshalled before
Mr. !`George, the reason soon became apparent why
the favourite did not take her chance with the rest, but
was saddled out of the way ; for a more disheartening
display of temper was never witnessed, the only parallel on
retard being that of the savage D'Estournel last year,
and Tambour Major some few anniversaries since. Al-
' though it was thought she might be soothed by having at
her head the lad who invariably attends upon her at
! Danbury, immediately Fordlunn got her to the post, she
put her head between her legs and kept sawing away at
the reins, to the peat distress of her jockey. When the
flag fell she was quite twenty yards in the rear of every-
, thing, and though For lham did his beet with bee, he could
take no place even before going through the knee, and
but for Viscount being a wretchedly bad animal, and
Franchise breaking down, she would nedeentedly ban
I occupied the diagreoeful position of being last from
. end to end. None can doubt that it was all the
1 result of passion, and once being shut in by the leaders
she seemed determined not to make an effort. The Kings.
11 eters lot looked dangerous throughout, more particularly
• I when rounding Tottenham Comer. Sir Joseph Hawley
backed Green Sleeve and Resieraena throughout the
winter to win him 80,0001. each, and he shifted all the
moony he had on Blue dowse, with the senvieetes that the
hone watt inferior go the other pair ; and when the Mimi

took place, which proved Blue Gown to be the beet, there
wen sash a treeillollllll rush to get out eineog the book-
makers, who had treated him as a " safe 'un," that Sir
Joseph had no opportunity of backing his horse. Perhaps
it is the only instance on record in which an owner bad
the chagrin of seeing his animal win in a cantor asd yet be
a looser by its snooty, ; but Sir Joseph was determined, as
the public had backed his home, that the
hone should rum Wells displayed groat **curacy
of judgment in electing to ride Blue Gown after Sir
Joseph had declared to win with the other pair, and much
praise is doe to Porter, after having his stable amiss quite
recently, for managing so bring his horses round so far as
to defeat what was considered the greatest certainty on
record, and absolutely get Rosicrucian fit enough to attain
fifth position. Wells, it is understood, having achieved
his third victory in the Derby, intends to retire from bis
profession. Verdh►m will look en the English Derby as
proverbially unlucky for him, for when called upon to ride
in the race on the Continent, and win, be almost invariably
has the mortification of a disappointing mount at Epsom.
Sir Joseph Hawley has now won four Derbys—with
Teddington, Boadsmao, Heidi!, and Blue Gown ; and
never was such enthusiasm witnessed at Epsom as on the
return of Wells to the saddling paddock today, as
all the efforts of Martin Starling and the mounted
polies were required to clear a passage for the winner.
The Prince of Wales arrived at Epsom about half-past one
o'clock, having journeyed all the way from Balmoral
Castle, and arrived in town about five o'cleek. He was
loudly cheered on entering the stand, accompanied by
Prince Teak, the Crown Prince of Denmark, and the
Spanish Minister. Before tho race for the Derby the
Prince walked over to Tod-Heatley's booth, and took his
usual position for seeing the race. The Marquis and
Marchioness of Hastings were also present, and the young
Lord of Donington received quite an ovation when he
' appeared in the ring. The Prince left the course soon
after the decision ut the Derby, and drove to town.
Though the excellont clerk of the course failed to give
the patrons of the paddock the "straight ►ip" in the
colour of the tickets, which represented those of the Doke
of Newcastle, whose representative, Speculum, ran third,
Mr. Dotting landed the winner in his " second string,"
as the Grand Stand tickets were all cherry. Particulars of

Out of the crowd mid dug, and away from the noisy rabble,
those who take an Interest in the Derby competitors found a
great relief in the paddock, where the cracks were made the
object of much scrutiny indeed, It was generally admitted that
the attendance In the paddock bad never been exereded. The
Duke of Newcastle's pair • -Speculum and Pace—were the first to
arrive, and they were paraded about some time In their clothes
and from the position which they held in the market they were
closely scanned. Pace appeared fit and well, but lamentably
deficient In quality as compared with the nest and "gentle-
manly " Speculum. Perhaps none of the competitors created a
stronger impression than Suffolk, who has certainly made con-
siderable improvement since he last appeared at Newmarket,
but aall he had a somewhat cobby appearance. His despised
stable-companion, King Alfred, who ultimately turned out the
second best of the day, walked behind the son of North Lincoln.
Sir Joseph Hawley's trio—Bine Gown, Rosicrucith, and Green
Sleeve—were quite surrounded. They were attended by Porter,
Wells, and Jem Adams, and the vicinage of the stalls of the
celebrated trio was completely crowded. Blue Gown was not
only decidedly the fittest, but as fit as any horse
possibly could be, and hie many backers, after looking
at Wm, walked away with renewed confidence. Ile
was literally full of muscle and trained to perfection.
Green Sleeve, notwithstanding all that had been written about
her not having made any improvement, exhibited a marked
superiority on her Newmarket rendition. Roslcruchot, although
not overladen with flesh, had evidently been subjected to a mire
hurried preparation than his half-brother, and did not seem so
fully qualified for such a severe struggle, although be was per-
haps the grandest looking animal in the race. Paul Jones looked
well enough, but he la decidedly not a Derby horse, whatever
his merit uuder light imposts In haudicape. Orion was not
wanting in either good looks or condition. hut one could not
help being struck with hie non-staying sort of shale. 8L Ronan
attracted about as much attent:on as Hermit did last year, and
he was thought to have nu chance, as It was known be
wan third in the Two Thousand on sufferance • ereachise,
own sister to St. Albans and Savernske, had a mean
and common appearance, contrasting moat strongly with
the cracks. King of the Forest, a nice, level-male racing-
like colt, was much fancied among the outsiders, but
he did not convey the Impression of being able to successfully
compass a distance of ground. Lord Glasgow's colt was attended
to by his lordship's excellent trainer in the lower cornee. Though,
like the generality of the hones owned by the vs notable peer,
he Is a fine built animal, there is a half-bred appearance about
him. ramaon is what may be termed a lady's horse—a bright
chestnut—and es•medbigly taking to the eye. Cap-a-Pie, though
a good looking animal, uppeared scarcely up to the faun re-
quired for the great event. Seesaw seemed to have lose, all his
good looks, and was absolutely unsightly. Lady Elizabeth was
greatly inquired after : but the was not in the paddock, and the
secret of bee temper was let out by her absence from the usual
place for making the toile! tea. it having been determined to
present, if possible, any irritation to her by saddling on the
course, and dispensing with the preliminary :enter. The re-
maining horses were all but unnoticed. The numbers
of the nineteen competitors were heisted fully half-an-hour
before the time fixed fur the start (three o'clock' and at a
quarter to the hour, when the course had been partially cleared,
the horses eme'ged from the paddock. The Met to appear was
Itheicrucian, showing the way for Blue 00WD, who was led by
Porter, Green Sleeve, coming next. Such a great layout ite with
the public was Blue (town, and their enthuslaain was so great,
that when Wells reached the course he was cheered to the very
echo. Following the three animals mentioned were Forest King
and the Dune of Newcastle's pair, the others threading their
way through the crowd and parading past the stand In the fol-
lowing order:—Orion, Cap-a-Pie, See Saw, Lord Glangow's colt,
St. Ronan, Suffolk, King Alfred, Paul Jones, Viscount, and
Franchise. They then made their way down the course
nearly to Tattenhant Corner. With the exception of the
Duke of Newcastle's two. who held aloof, the others
walked about In a body, evidently waiting for the
arrival of the Danehury pair—Cock of the Walk and
Lady Elizabeth—to canter. As they did not arrive, however,
and the course had by this time beau sutficlently cleared fur th
'• preliminary," Martin Starling gave the signal by waving his
handkerchief. Paul Jones led, Rosicrucian, Green Sleeve, and
Blue Gown succeeding Mr. Rodin:mistime, the three stable com-
panions being followed by Lord Glasgow's colt, Orion, and Forest
King In a cluster See-Sew being at the head of the next division of
horses, width comprised St. Ronan, King Alfred, Suffolk, and
Viscount, Franchise, Speculum, Pace, Samson, and Cap-a-Pie
bringing up the rear. On reaching the commencement of the
• Stand enclosure Pace was observed suddenly to falter, and loud
shouts wire raised that he had broken down. This proved to be
the case, but he struggled on so densely that Aldcroft had some
difficulty in stopping bins, which he did not succeed In doing
un'll reaching the judge's box, where he at mice dismounted
and as he led the luckless son of Caterer and Lady Trespass to
the unsaddling paddock attached to the weighing enclosure,
the Duke of Newcastle met the horse, and finding that he bed
given way In his off-fore leg ordered him to be Immediately led
off the course. The affair created the greatest sensation, no
catch event anterior to the race having occurred lu the history of
• the Derby. While Pace was being led away, and the
remaining eighteen competitors were proceeding by way
of the paddock to the starting post in the Vale, the
favourite and her esquire, ('ock of the Walk, were observed
emerging front Sherwood's, down Langley-bottom, and making
also for the electing . All glasses were levelled in
the direction indicay an Immense crowd. Neither
of the pair was mounted, acid neither Funiliam nor Harry Day
got Into the saddle until the post was reached. With as little
delay as possibie, oaasidaing the Immense crowd at the post,
the lot were got together, and precisely at 3.17 the first attempt
was made to start them : but thin was frustrated by Paul lODIC
Speculum, and Green Sleeve breaking away and runnings short
distance. Lady Elizabeth did not stir front the post, and di-
rectly the other animals got on the move the lad who usually
attends her at boom went to her head, and held her
until the lot had been got together again. At the
second attg;orpt Lady Ellialeth was fully four lengths
In rear of , horses, and the attempt to start was again
tradrated. r. M'Ocorge at the third essay gat the lot
well together, and a loud cheer proclaimed that they had
started. Excepting Viscount and Lady Elizabeth, the
lot were In the most compact order. Ma favourite des not ap-
pear capable of beginning, and before many Asides had been
taken ohs was at least half a dozen Meath* In the rear of miry-
