FINAL ItENIA;Bil& ON THE DERBY OF ,18,52.

TO THE 44.1701? OF. T 1 E SUN..
last, we are beginning, have a clear view
of the mysterious dittsna that is to be enacted on the
Downs to-morrow. The majority of the horses engaged
have at this, the .eleventh hour, been brought before the
public eye, whereby-I amenabled no longer to speak in
the doubtful, but in the positive mood.
Among. those who have taken their gallops sa-
tisfactoriijc I place Prominently Alcoran, Little
Harry,. Kinston, CliverhOnse, Hobble .Noble, Chief
Baron- Nicholson, - The ,ffniveyor and King Pepin.
The mysterious 'Robbie' Noble, though not alto-
gether the picture of perfection in conditiatiin
is in gohdLenough form to stand a .first-rate chance of,
disposing of all his rivals. but °LIN., and. he may also
knock him over toe'. Kittle' Harry is..quito up to the
Mark,. leeks and goes Well', and will' be about the bulls-
. eye. Alcoran is almost eertain,,to Pbtain a place.
Cfaverhouse, if the pace is not toe grOat,, mill have his
stride served over the hi4U, being, peculiarly- adapted for
it. JoeMillei will be nowhere; dittq King of ;Trumps.
otnebrewed starts Only to serve his, siayta companion.
,Alfred the Great will finish. in the.foreraost portion of
'the ruck, with Augur by his side. Stockwell and Am-
brose will beat more than beat them. Orelio .will phut
np before reaching the distance. Chief Baron ?tlichol-
spn shall 'he " outrigger" .on the occasion ;
better :one I believe I could not . have.
Maidstone, Marinello bolt, 'Surveyor, Treasurer,
Northmah; -Tadvuisiofi; . Barbarian,
Young Hammond,' and Poodle will form that,FlOghtful
Portion of the field called the'i'uck. Daniel O`Rourke
cannot obtainic place. Missive, all along reported to be
a wonder of some sort or other, I anticipate 141 giyq ap
the ghost long before reaching the stand. Vortex runs
merely to assist Little Harry. The "leggy" Nabob
will find the course as well suited to him as it was to
Bolingbroke in 1850. WOmersley, will finish forward,
but not run into a place. Harbinger has a neat stride,
and bowls away merrily enough; I shall not be sur-
prised, and indeed expect, to find him in a place not
very rgnote froth the winner.
ThefielFit is,now. supposed, will consist of the fol-
lowing :—Hobbie Noble (Whitehouse), Little Harry (A.
Day), Aleoran (Bartholomex),Harloinge-r(Nat), Clover-
house (Marlow), Kiegston,,(G. Brawn)aoe Miller (W.
Day or Wakefi Trumps (T. Lye), doubt-
' col; Alfred the Grbit (Bamby), Homebrowed (S. Mann),
' Stockwell (Norman), Ambrose (Boyce or J. Mann),
• Augur (S. Rogers), Orelio (Pearl), Chief Baron Nichol-
son (Kitchener), Maidstone (Pettit), Surveyor (j. Mar
-
son), King Pepin (Charlton), Womersley (templeman),
Hyacinth 'Or 'Marinello colt (Holmes), Daniel O'Rourke
(F. Butler), Vortex (Alaton), Convulsion (Abdale),
Poodle (Sly), Young Hammond (Dickenson), North-
man (Sherwood or Burn), The Nabob (Chapple),, Bar-
barian (H. Bell), Treasurer, Missive, Hierarchy', colt
by Hetman Platoff, Hampton, and perhaps Kingfisher.
The diversity of opinion amongst the seven writters to
the sporting press is this year, on the Derby, less han
usual, the general predilection being for Little Harry;
and their opinions are based by them on his private, not
the
public performances. For instance "Argos," of
Morning Post, awards the race to Little Harry ; " Touch-
stone," of the Era, gives it to Little Harry or Kingston;
•and "Priam," of the Racing Times, to Little Harry or
CgoheisefißoraroHniNrbiicnhgoelrso;n;thwehitseugn.dPaevgaTsuims,e"soffoßrelellsoLbifebie,
Noble or Alcoran; and "Votes" for Hobble alone.
The estimation in which I hold the candidates for
the ensuing Derby is in the -following style:—

AQUATICS.
CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES. • "
I The Championship of -the Thames the first of the
three great sporting events of the week-vvas contested
yesterday, and so extraordinary , a boat race was never

be woudered that the cireumstance of a private gentle-

was considered a bold step: The match had beers about

trifle more in advance, 'but a first-rate spurt brought
Coombes's boat again within a yard of his adversary's
stern. Coombes here performed a z;gzig motion in the
rear of his opponent, and . certainly did not mend his
position by his steerage. Both shot through the water
towards Hamm rsmilh•bridge, Surrey pier, and the
dashing work of Cole put him. through the bridge a
clear length and a half in advaa&e, but between this and
Chiswick Eyot the "old one" had applied himself so
vigorously to his task, that their referee called the par-
ticular attention of the umpire to the position of the boats,
Coombes having forced his way within a yard or so of his
opponeut,.and his rowing was here so strong, that his
friends began to look up; bet he was not good enough,
and although he continued stroke after stroke for three
minutes in the same position, Cole again increased the
gap between them to a boles length, but on nearing the
railway brie at Barnes it was again lessened by ano-
ther desperate Effort of Coombes's; but he could not get
in front, and although he rowed as long as nature would
servo him, ho could not win, although by dint
of the most determined exertion he decreased his adver-
sary's lead. Cole kept in advance, and won by half a
clear length, doing the distance in 25 min. 12 sees. By
the kind exertion and influence of Mr. Aitcheson, super-
intendent of the iron steam-Ltosts,they verb moat capi

AMERICAN NEWS.

ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA.
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, 9 P M.
The Royal Mail steam-ship Niagara has just arrived
with later advices from America. This flue vessel sailed
from Boston on the 12th instant. and made the usual
call at Halifax on the 14th, to land and receive the mails
and passengers connected with the British colonies.
She brip,gs 85 passengers, but no specie.
Congrev.was still occupied in considering a grant to
the CoHim-line of steamers, but nothing decisive had
been arrived at.

-COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
The money market since the departure of the previous
steamer had been very easy, and money plentful. The
general trade of the country was in a satisfactory con-
dition. Business was brisk, stocks and securities were
in demand.

The market for breadstuffs was quiet, and prices were
without change. Western Canal flour, 4 dolls. 12ic. to
4 dell. 25c. per barrel (steady); Genessee prime wheat,
1 doll. 10e. to 1 doll. 12c. per 601 b.; Indian corn, round
yellow, 62c. to 64c. per bushel; Indian meal, 3 doll. 25e.
to 3. doll. 371 e. per barrel._

The cotton market at New York is reported brisk,
with a good amount of business doing. Prices hare ad-
vanced slightly, the abundance of money being the
cause assigned. Now o:leans and Mobile middling fair
to fair, 10tc. to 10A-c. per lb.; Uplands middling fair to
fair, 94c. to 9ic. per lb., or a rise of ie. per lb.
Provisions were in good demand at former prices.
Exchange on London, 1094 to 110; Paris, 5 17;
Uamburgh, 351 to 36; Bremen, 781. to 78i.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC,

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Minister of Public Instruction has addressed a
long circular to the Rectors of Academies explanatory
of the decree, of the 10th April last, relative to a new
plan of studies. That decree, be says, is destined to
secure a good grammatical education to all classes of
pupils, as it is useful to all ; and when it is completed,
to enable such pupils, as have a vocation for the liberal
professions to continue, after passing an examination,
the • study of lettres or of the sciences. He denies
that, as has been alleged, the Government wishes to
make a separati m between lettres and sciences ; and
as a proof of it he states that the examination for a
degree in sciences will comprise literary matters, and
for one in lettres, scientific subjects.
General BEDEAII has addressed the following letter
to the. Minister of 'War, refusing to take the oath o'
fidelity :

" Mons, 15th May, 1852.
" Monsieur le Ministre,—An order fixes the time with
in which the oath imposed on soldiers is to be taken.
Placed out of the pale of the law since the 2d December,
I might abstain from replying to that prescription. But
I do not wish that my silence should be falsely inter-
preted. My acts have always bad for principle and
object the respect and the defence of the laws. I was for
that sole cause arrested, imprisioned, and violently pro
scribed. Injustice and persecution do not change honest
convictions. I refuse the oath. “ BEDEAU."
The PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic has re-
mitted to M. VIGNAUD, lately responsible editor of
the journal Ea Province, the punishment to which he
was condemned by the Court of Assizes of the Haute-
Vienne, for an insulting article against the head of
:t4e state. . .
M. BAUNE, one of the ex-representatives, under
sentence of banishment, was present in Paris last
week at the marriage of his daughter, who had ob-
tained permission to that effect. He has since re-
turned to Brussels.
We read in the Pays—"'The Marquis DE PASTO-

been replaced in this last-named post by
the Duke D'Escass,
the writer of the document of Venice. He has just
contradicted those assertiocs by two solemn acts, in
taking the oath of fidelity to LOU'IS NAPOLEONJ one
as member of the Commission of Historical Docu-
ments, and the other 'as member of the Superior
COfnmission of Publi"c Assistance. Such facts have
no need of comment. ,
According to A Paris lettelin the Independance of
Brussels, the French Government proposes to increase
the stipend of the Archbishop of PARIS from 40,0001.
to 60,000 f., those of fourteen Archbishops from
16,0001;:to 20,0001'., and of sixty-five Bishops from
10,0001 to 12,000 f. It also proposes, says that
journal, to increase the stipends of the Vicars. General
by 500 f, to improve the position or some of tbe'
lower clergy, to' increase }he allowance 'to 'the,.
Chaptei .2f,St. Penis, and to 'grant 180,000 f. for in
cretting The choirs of cathedrals. • - '
