DERBY.
After the race for the Newmarket Stakes, 7 to 1 was
taken about De Clare. 1,000 to 500 betted between
him and Kingstown.
The sport commenced to-day at twelve o'clock, and
was limited to four races,-the principal event being the
Newmarket Stakes ; but so denuded was it of strength
and interest by the number that paid forfeit, that it will
suffice to state De Clare beat Polydore, the best of the
three competitors he had to meet, by three-quarters of
a length. Whether the "form" be good enough for the
Derby time will show.
An hour after the last race a special train left for Lon-
don, and the journey was very satisfactorily performed
in about two hours and a quarter.

EXTRAORDINARY SINGLE WICKET MATCH AT CRICKET.
—ln the morning two well-known Turfites, Mr. R. H.,
of York, and Mr: J., from the neighbourhood of Rich-
mond, Yorkshire, played a single wicket match, the con-
diti3ns of which were five games of two runs a game,
251. each game, and 1001. the main ; Mr. H. to bat,
Mr. J. to bowl. After the first hit in the first game
Mr. H. laid his opponent 200 to 100 he should beat
him. The betting brotherhood mustered numerously,
great interest was excited, and each side was backed for
a good deal of money. The fourth game placed them 2
and 2 ; 6to 4 was then betted on Mr. H. The fifth
game was opened, and from the fourth ball one run was
obtained. The greatest anxiety was now manifested by
all parties. With the second ball afterwards Mr. J.
found his wicket, and the match consequently termi-
nated in his favour by 1 run. In stakes and bets he won
upwards of 5001. The same parties are to play a similar
match on the Thursday of the Second Spring Meeting.

The Chelmsford Chronicle states that a deputation
from. the Royal Agricultural Society inspected on Thurs-
day the sites in that town, proposed to be occupied at
the next annual meeting of the society, and that they
expressed themselves as much gratified, observing that
the meeting there might, with good management, be
made the best the society has ever had.

Letters Patent for valuable and extraordinary improvements
in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race-

of objects viewed through them—of great importance to the
army, navy, and others. These telescopes possess such extra-
ordinary powers that some 3i inches, with an extra eye-
piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring,
and the double stars; with the same telescope can be
seen a person's counteranco three miles and a half distant,
and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They are of larger and all
sizes, with increasing powers accordingly ; while their vary-
