BRADLEY,

of Epsom, has only one animal entrusted to his care
that perchance may figure in this great race, and that
one is Count Batthyany's br c by Cowl, out of Sophia,
'yclept THE MONK. If he runs he will be nearer last
than first.

BUTLER,
of Newmarket, has a couple of brutes belonging to the
Duke of Bedford, engaged in the Derby, under his care
The first is a ch c by Weatherbit out of Esmeralda
called Hero (who has actually succumbed in a match
to Ilex), and a b c WEITHERGAGE, by Weatherbit, out
of Taurina (who is not worth a pony). Of course his
Grace with such a brace can have no chance of sweep-
ing the Derby, without his late purchase HESPERUS, a
b c by Bay Middleton, out of Plenary, whom I had
almost overlooked, is good enough; of which I enter-
tain considerable doubt.
W. DAY,
of Woodyeats, has a trio owning him as trainer;
namely, Mr. Fiennes' b c OLD ROWLEY, by the Merry
Monarch, out of Bourra Tomacha, of no use whatever—
Mr. Farrance's br g CLAVERHOUIE, by Lancelot, out of
Gadfly, equally cranky—and Mr. Farrance's b c JOE
MILLER, by Venison, out of Witticism, who may do
something in one of the Spring Handicaps, but will
certainly 'whim nothing in the Derby spin.
DALEY'S LOT

consists of a couple, numely—Mr. R. S. Walker's br c
TREASURER, by Vernlam, out of Makeless, who has been
backed at various times for a good deal of money, all of
which is thrown away; and another b c belonging to the
same owner, by Verulam, out of Abigail, called CATAN,
who likewise will cause all cash invested in his chance to
be irrecoverably lost.

L. BYRNE,
of the Curragh, is carefully preparing one nag for the na-
tional race in Mr. Biadshaw's b c BARBARIAN, by Si-
moon, out of Lady Barbara's dam. This horso has ap-
peared in public twice, both occasions, however, having
been in Ireland. At the Curragh September Meeting he
was not placed for the Railway Stakes, won by Indian
Warrior; but to square the account, at the Curragh Oc-
tober Meeting, he won the National Produce Stakes,
beating his former conqueror, Indian Warrior, by half a
length, and a field of eight others. He is a remarkably
stroug improving colt, and I think it very possible may
be heard of satisfactorily in the time to come.

DILLY
has two in a state of preparation, at Littleton, in Lord
Bruce's br C THE KNIGHT OF THE SHIRE, by Sir Her-
cules, out of Splitvote, end Mr. Payne's bra WINGE-
WIND, by Lanercost, out of Valentine; the latter a most
unworthy brother of War Eagle. The former's chance
requires no comment, and the latter's but little. Win-
genund may figure in the race, but in my opinion any-
thing but advantageously.
DREWIETT,
of Mickleham, has a solitary animal in the entry, in his
b c HAMPTON, by Slane, out of Charlotte, who has ran
eight times, won once, and is no Derby nag.
DIXON,
of Marlborough, has also a solitary Derby nag under his
tutelage—Mr. James Clark's b c ELCOT, by Venison,
out of Nike, by Defiance, fnll brotlier to the Marlbo-
rough Buck. This horse it is reported, on what grounds
I know not, is going gradually blind, and as a contem-
porary confirms this rumour, I must oven think that
there is some truth in it. Whether he is doing satisfac-
tory work at the prese:at or not I am unable to tell, not
having had any direct communication from that quarter
for some time past; I shall, however, take the earliest
opportunity of discovering his actual condition and
chance for the Derby. His performances, except in one
instance, have been first rate, and very much resemble
the Buck's two-year old doings. At Northampton he
won the Althorp Park Stakes very easily by a length,
beating Ambrose, the Old Lad, and fourteen others. At
the Epsom Summer Meeting he won the Woodcote
Stakes, beating Flirt (second), Buckthorn (third), and
eleven others, including Frantic and the Sorella'a dam
filly. At the Newmarket Second October Meeting, in
the race for the Clearwell Stakes, when backed at 6 to 4
on him against the field, he ran very mysteriously a bad
fourth to Kingston, Harbinger, and Ambrose. This
concluded his two years old career, which, except in the
last instance, stamps him as a superior animal. By
signs, however, not in the heavens, but in certain bet-
ting coteries, I expect that he will not figure very cre-
ditably in the race over the Downs.
STEPHENSON, JUN.,
of Newmarket, has three Derby nominations of Lord
Clifden's in training:—b o MAGNES, by Touchstone, out
of Latitude, who has run twice and been beaten each
time ; but I opine will run batter in the ensuing season,
and yet be of no use at Epsom—a b c SACKBUT, by
Touchstone, out of Concertina, who is scarcely equal to
iagnes ; and a b filly Rosary, by Touchstone, out of
Crucifix, who may do something in some of the small
stakes, or the Oaks, should she keep on her pins, which
is dubious, but will, of course, be of no account for the
Derby.

MARTIN,
of Horseheath, has a horse of Mr. Bateson's, a Derby
nomination of Lord Clifden's, in training, b c DOLLAND,
by Lanercost, out of Gaze. No go.
TOAL DAWSON,
of the celebrated Moor of Midaleham, has, as usual, a
lengthened string of Derby nags under his care, number-
ing, this year, no less than seven. Mr. M,iklam's ch c
CONSULTATION, by the Doctor, out of Confusioriee—
Mr. Wilkins' b c FAKCY FREE, by Fancy Boy, out of
Mrs. Fitzwilliam—Mr. Rothweli's br c EMERY STONE,
by Touchstone, out of Gulhane—Mr. Meikham's b c
CLEVELAND, by Fancy Boy out of Modesty, the eldest
born of his sire.—Mr. W. Wilkins' b o FORTIS, by Bed
Deer, out of Marietta—Mr. Dlwson's b c TOM PINCH,
by Perion, out of Windlass—and his ch c DIE NARI-
NINT, by Irish Birdcatcher, out of Parasina, are., one
and all, anything but Derby nags. I
tlweretownaao is anke as
exception, it would be in favour of Cleveland, who
improving horse, and will, probably, be enrolled as a
victor in some of the Handicap struggles.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,

EXETER-HALL.—THURSDAY CONCERT'S.
The second concert of the series took place last even-
ing, and it was veryZfully attended. The madrigals and
glees were admirably executed by a full and efficient
chorus, and were much applauded. Miss Louisa Pyne
sang Rode's air exquisitely, and her execution of the
sparkling music was as graceful and as truthful as it
was brilliant. Mr. Swift, the new tenor, is a singer of
great, power, and has been admirably taught • nothing
seed be more effective or in better taste than his singing
in the glees and madrigals last evening. In the course
of the evening Miss Goddard played Thalberg's fantasia
from Don Pasquale, on the piano, in her usual brilliant
style of execution; and Mr. Richardson performed two
solos on the flute with marvellous power and exquisite
sweetness.

THE WEST INDIA MAIL,
SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING,
The Rya' Mail Company's steam-ship Thames ar-
rived in the river last evening at eight o'clock, but in
consequence of its blowing a gale of adverse wind it was
some time before any boats could communicate with her.
She brings dates from Tampico of the 6th of December,
Vera Cruz of the Bth, Chagree of the 10th, Jamaica of
the 14th. Barbadoes of the 17th, and St. Thomas's of the
20th. The Thames brings 1,251,47, dolls., of which
81,000 are towards payment of the Mexican dividends.
Her cargo consists of a small quantity of cochineal,
jalap, ginger, &c.
There are thirty-five passeegers, amongst whom are
the Marquis Allamma, from Vera Cruz, and Lieutenant
Colonel Armstrong, from Jamaica.
From a hasty perusal of the Jamaica papers we can
glean no intelligence worth reporting.
The House of Assembly was in session, but little pro-
gress had been made in public business.
The cholera had slightly abated in Montego Bay; bat
the reports from the country are not so cheering.
In Hanover the disease was raging with great seve-
rity, and in the Chester Castle district.
In Trelawny the reports are of a distressing nature;
also at Westmoreland.
The small-pox still exists at Falmouth.
The weather had been fearfully violent in many of the
islands, particularly on the north side.
The produce market was quiet, and had declined in
value, with little speculation.
Exchanges on London—Colonial Bank, 90 days, per
cent. prem.; 60 days, 1 per cent. prem.; 30 days, 1 per
cent.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
KINGSTON, JAMAICA, DEC. 12.—Our market does not
yet appear to be favourably affected by the:near approach
of the Christmas holidays.
Some improvement has been apparent in the demand
for dry and pickled fish, but it is to be attributed solely
to the scarcity of the latter, and the unusually low stock
of the former.

Breadstuff have !declined in value, and @peculation
during the prevalence of the low rates is checked by the
fear entertained on the part of dealers that the receipts
for some time will be on a very liberal scale.
Sugar—The lower qualities are rather abundant, but
the finer grades yet continue in limited supply. We
range our quotations at l4s. and 20s. per 100ib., as in
quality.

Coffoe—There is not yet sufficient at market to induce
a speculation, and prices are nominal.
Rum moves rather slowly at 3s. ld. per gallon; choice
brands, however, command 3s. 2d. duty paid.
Pimento brings 34d. end 3ici. per lb.
Logwood is in very limited inquiry at 365. per ton; &
cargo of Campeachy is held at 40s.
Malt—Bottled ale and porter are taken at 75.; Gs. per
dozen together. All descriptions are becoming scarce.
Salt—We quote stove at ss. per sack.
Tobacco—The market continues heavily supplied with
Cavendish, and prices have declined. We quote it at
9d. per lb. Leaf is taken at 48s. to 325. per 1001bs., in
moderate quantities.
Gold—American, 1 per cent. premium. The dollar
valued at 4s. sterling. Doubloons are very scarce.

THE POOR FUNDHOLDER.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Strt,—l observe that many of the writers for the publio
press (the intelligent editor of The Sun not excepted),
whenever they speak of the inequalities of taxation, do
not fail to have a fling at the tundholder—do not lose
the opportunity of complaining that, inasmuch as he
does not labour for the production of interest upon his
capital, he is far too lightly taxed. There are others,
again, who seem to think that because, many years ago,
persons who have long been dead and buried entrusted
their money with Government for what it was then fairly
worth, or the Government would not have agreed to the
terms, therefore the present generation should be de-
prived of a portion of their income by reducing the rate
of interest agreed upon between the parties!
All this, 11r. Editor, I submit, is most unjust, and in-
volves a system not very unlike American repudiation.
It is certainly one which would be scouted by any re-
spectable firm, and which, if sanctioned by the State,
must necessarily unsettle all mortgages, and all legal and
other agreements throughout the kingdom. For what
are the facts ?
In the first place, those who have lent their hard-
earned capital to the State are, nine-tenths of them,

less than is paid on mortgages, and about the same as
sa,t, and it consequently

THE POOR OF SOUTHWARK AND LAMBETH.—A
few days since the " Southwark Soup Kitchen" opened in
Gravel-lane, commenced its operations, when a considerable
number of the poor of the district was relieved with this
most nutritious beverage, together with excellent beef and
bread. Several charitable ladies residing in the vicinity
have kindly offered to superintend the :ist.ribution of these
substantial and acceptable gifts.. The principal founder, Mr.
John Brady, of No. 86, Blackfr!ars-road, has been well sup-
ported in his laudable undertaking, and has received several
subscriptions, amongst which he has the honour to acknow-
ledge :the following, viz. :—Miss Vivasour, of Hillborough,
near Herne Bay, 51. ; Mr. Spencer, Union-street, Borough,
1/. ; Dronever, of Guy's Hospital, 1/. ; Mr. Batty, the pro-
prietor of Astley's Theatre, 11., &c. &c.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE GLASGOW AND SMITS'
WESTERN RAILWAY.—On Tuesday night a very serious
accident happened upon this railway at the Dalry station.
A luggage train, it appears, had from some cause or other
been brought to a stand at this part of the line, at the time
when the up-train from Dumfries was due, and, either from
proper precautions not having been taken to warn the ex-
pected train, or from the signals having been unheeded or
unnoticed in time, the passenger train dashed into the. othor
with tremendous force. The number of passengers m the
train was fortunately not very great, some of the carriages
being almost knocked to
being nearly, if not altogether empty, or the catastrophe
must have been of a very fatal kind, four first-class carriages

T
LaNWOOD GALLERY.-.—A new grand Pano•
rama of the expedition to the Arctic Regions, from a sketch
taken by Sir John Ross, is now being exhibited here. It is
a splendid painting. The different places where Sir John
Franklin is supposed to have passed is pointed out to the
audience, and altogether it is a very masterly productioa, and
reflects great credit on Mr. Adams, the celebrated scenic
painter. In another part of the gallery a number of fleas are
exhibited, whose performances ate truly astonishing. The
troupe consists of two hundred, who, at the command of a
Russian gentleman, fire off cannon, and draw along a table
a fac-simile of Kossuth, mounted on a chariot.

alleged to be paid up.
