expected to reach Epson until this afternoon.
The arrangements of the Brighton Railway Company
appear calculated to meet all the requirements of the
public. Trains will run each day from 7to 9, at
the ordinary fares, and additional fast trains from 9.10
to 1.20 on Tuesday and Thursdays; the Derby and Oaks
days from 9.10 to 1.30.
A special express train will also leave the London-
bridge terminus on the Derby and Oaks days at 1.45,
P.M. precisely, arriving in time for the race. This will
be found a great accommodation to mercantile men in
the city.

In order to lessen as much as possible the difficulty of
obtaining tickets on the Great Days, the company intend
to send one of their clerks to Tatteriall's, where, as well
as at various other places specified in the advertisements,
return tickets may be obtained daily from 8 A.M. to
6 P.M.

In connexion with the meeting itself, the arrangements
are tho same as last year ; Cla►k will officiate as
judge, Mr. Hibburd as starter, Mr. Manning as clerk of
the scales, Mr. Starling as assistant clerk of the course,
and Mr. Faller Andrews will be in charge of the enclo-
sure. Thus the whole Newmarket staff will be in office,
a guarantee that everything will be en reyte. The course
is is the best condition.

Miss Hughes about 8 years; first joined her April 3,
1844, at Madame Pochis', near Paris, and found her
unable to dress or undress herself, incapable of ;even
using a pocket handkerchief, could not cut her food or
feed herself properly; had no knowledge of money or
of letters, or writing, or books; her only amusement
sometimes to play with coins, but without any idea of
their being of the least value. She had been with her
night and day, up to the present time, and she remained
without variation in the same state of mind and action.
By a juror—Her health had been good; had only two
medical visits in France.
By another juror—She did not know persons.
Maria Henty, housemaid to Madame Pochis, deposed
she had known Miss Hughes three years;

at Madame Pechie, had been with her every day since,
and had always found her in the same insensible and
imbecile state as exhibited this day. Had been waiting

unsoundness of mind from April, 1844.

THE " DIE-HARDS."
j On Monday, the 17th instant, the 57th Regiment,
stationed at KilLenny, gave a grand dinner to Major-
General M`Donald, the staff of the district, and
several of their friends, to commemorate the anni-
versary of the battle of Albuera, in which sanguinary
action this gallant regiment bore a distinguished part,
and acquired the appellation of the "Die-Hards "
which they have retained ever since. The dinner and
wines were of the very best description, and the rich
mess-plate of the corps was displayed to great ad-
vantage. A portion of the old colours carried on the
6th of May, 1811, and which had waved triumphantly
before the embattled hosts of France, were hung up
opposite the banners now used in the regiment,p and
reminded the guests of " Auld lang tpyne.'
After " The Health of her Majesty the Queen"
had been drank with all the honours,

SHADFORTH, the senior officer present, gave
" The Memory of those who had fallen at Albuera ;"
drank, of course, in silence.
Tne MAJort then proposed " The Health of Lieu-
tenant-General Sir Edward Blakeney and the sur-
vivors of Albuera," coupling with these the names of
Major-General M'Donald, C. 8., and Colonel Browne,
Commissioner of Police, the only two persons at table
who were present at Albuera, and who sat at his right
and 1,-ft hand. _

Major• General APDONALD returned thanks in an
eloquent and soldierlike manner. He said that al-
though he and his friend Colonel Browne were the
only Albuera men present, he saw several officers
whose fathers had s,:rved in that glorious action,
in particular Major Shadforth, whose father had lost
a teg i❑ the 57th there, and Captain Inglis, son of
the late Sir William Inglis, K.C.8., who was lieute-
nant-colonel commanding the 57th in this gallantly
fought battle. He added that when the regiment
had sustained a loss of two-thirds of its numbers,
the lieutenant-colonel called out in a loud voice,
" Close your ranks, 57th—die hard 1" which ex-
pression was the origin of the name by which the
corps is still called. Major-General M'Donald also
quoted the very flattering terms used by Marshal
Beresford in his dispatch, with reference to the 57th.
The Major-General's manly speech was received
with the greatest enthusiasm; when he again rose
and proposed " The health of Lord Hardinge (Co-
lonel of the corps), and of the 57th Regiment." He
stated that to Lord Hardinge, then a lieutenant-

terms upon the noble conduct of the Fusilier brigade,
which had contributed so largely to the viotory, and
is so beautifully described by Napier in his " History
of the Peninsular War."
Colonel BRowNE returned thanks in suitable terms,
and said he had come from Dublin on purpose to be
present on so interesting an occasion, and would have
gone ten times the distance to meet the old "Die.

Other toasts were given, and the party did not
break up until long after the midnight hour, having
past a most convivial evening, which will long be re-
membered by those who partook of the festivity.
The fine band of the 57th contributed greatly to
the enjoyment of the evening.

CO! VIAND OF TH6 CHANNEL FLEET
PORTSMOUTH, MAY 22.—Rear-Admiral of the Blue
Armar Lowry Corry, is appointed to command the above
force. He hoisted his flag at the mizen of her Majesty's
ship Prince Regent, 90, at Spithead, this afternoon, at
three o'clock, when the Prince Regent saluted the Port-
Admiral commanding in chief with seventeen guns,
which the port flag-ship Victory acknowledged with
thirteen. Rear-Admiral Corry entered the navy the Ist
of August, 1805, as first-class volunteer, on board the
Diadem, 64, and after assisting in the operations against
the Cape of Good Hope and Buenos Ayres, returned to
England in May, 1807, as midshipman of the Sampson,
64. He then joined the Leander, assisted at the bombard-
ment of Copenhagen, and was afterwards wrecked near
the entrance of Milford Haven, in January, 1808. From
that period until April, 1812, Mr. Corry served on the
Home and Mediterranean stations; on board the War-
spite, 74, after which he was successively appointed

Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, in which he
escorted to this country the Emperor of Russia and the
King of Prussia); and sth September following, to the
Tay, 24. Having been promoted to the rank of com-
mander 13th June, 1815, and invested 14th October,
1820, with the command of the Satellite, 18, he
next sailed for the East Indies, where he became
(23d July, 1821) flag-captain, in the Leander, 60, to
Sir Henry Blackwood ; in February, 1822, he invalided
home, in the Semarang, 28. Assuming command (4th
April, 1835) of the Barham, 50. Captain Corry con-
veyed the Earl of Durham to Constantinople, and while
stationed in charge of a squadron on the coast of Spain,

captains general of the various provinces, for his
exertions in landing with the various ships companies
under his orders, and preserving to her Majesty the
towns of Barcelona and Valenois. The Barham being

A GIN PALACE INTERIOR.
The long pewter counter is common to all. A counter
perforated in elaborately-pricked patterns, like a convi-
vial shroud, apparently for ornament, bat really for the
purpose of allowing the drainings, overflowing, and
outapillings of the gin-glasses to drop through, which,
being collected with sundry washings, and a dash, perhaps,
of fresh materiel, is, by the thrifty landlord, dispensed to
his customers under the title of " all sorts." Your
dram-drinker, look you, is not unfrequently paralytic,
wofully shaky in the hand; and the liqu r he wastes,
combined with that accidently spilt, tells up wonderfully
