No. CCLIV.
THE LUDLOW MEETING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—To merrow and Thursday the good people of
Ludlow have determined on showing a better bill of fare
than is usually the case with them; five stakes have
already closed, and two or three more have yet to do
so, consequently there will be no lack of that great de-
sideratum of racing meetings—sport.
The Ludlow Stakes, ones round and a distanoe, about
one mile five furlongs, has obtained an acceptance of a
dozen this year, and probably may have half that number
of starters. Old Clothworker, at Bst 101 b, looks un-
commonly dangerous, and I think, if they mean hiin, ha
will just do the trick; if he fails, atbaldeston or Cobnut
will probably supply the vacancy.
For the Five Sovs. Handicap, not having seen the re-
ceptauces. I must make a bit of a plunge in the dark,
and select Miss Fanny or Theorem for the winner.
The Oakley Park Stakes it would be ridiculous to
attempt a wioniug aeler.tion.
The principal races of the second day are the South
Shropshire and Cup Stake.; for the former Mr. Parr
would seem to have the race in his own hands with his
Selina or Clothworker, his principal opponents being
Cobnut and Worcester.

The Cup Stakes, I should say, will go into the
Stanton stable, with Kiteflyer or Prime Minister
whichever they may pleas-3 to start; should it so
happen that they start neither, I shall expect to see
Cluthworker and Butterfly in the first and second places.

Chelmsford Races come off likewise to-morrow and
the following day, but are of so uninteresting a nature
that it will be quite useless to hazard any comments
upon them.
To-morrow I shall take a glance at the sport to come
off on Thursday at Salisbury.
Betting is not over brisk at the present moment, re-
lating for the most part to the races at Goodwood. The
Cumberland Plate has caused a little speculation, and but
a little; Calculator being deemed as great a certainty
for it as Stilton was for the Plate at Newcastle.---I am, esc.,

THE GENTLEMEN OF KENT v THE GENXLE-

MEN OF ENGLAND.

This annual match, notwithstanding the unsettled
state of the weather, attracted a fashionable company.
Upwards of thirty carriages, filled by the fairer portion
of the population and a large number of the members of
the Marylebone Club, with many ladies on horseback,
were at Lord's on this occasion, and hod it not been for
a threatening atmosphere, the number of spectators
would have been, as in former days, something consi-
derable.

THE NEW CRYSTAL PALACE.
A melancholy though original attempt was made at
Sydenham yesterday evening to rouse the feeling of the
inhabitants against the erection of the Crystal Palace
in their neighbourhood. It appears that a Mr. Cole,
from London, arrived in the vilbige a few days since,
and immediately waited upon many of the householders
with an alarming statement of the disastrous conse-
quences that must inevitably ensue to the people of Syd-
enham should they be unfortunate enough to obtain in
their locality the prize that had been greedily sought
by some half-dozen other districts. I,lr. Cole's singular
canvass, as might be expected, was anything but sue-
cessful; but he had the hardihood, nevertheless, to post
the walls of the place with placards announcing for
Monday evening, at the Greyhound Inn, a meeting of
such inhabitants as might be desirous of avoiding the
threatened "nuisance." At eight o'clock some fifty or
sixty of the inhabitants of Sydenham duly met, but full
two hours before that period Mr. Colo had prudently re-
quested the waiter to summon a fly to the door, in which
the mysterious gentleman suddenly decamped. In his
absence the Syd .nhamites who had answered Mr. Cole's
summons formed themselves into a meeting, and passed
resolutions approving of the Crystal Palace scheme, and
of its removal to their district.

THE IMPROVEMENTS AT KENNINGTON-Comm°,
Men are already engaged for the preparation of the W-0,17
-
consequent upon the passing of the Bill for the improvement—
of this once popular place of amusement. The

milar adornment. The
whole is completed ; and, as a new

FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT.-- when laidr outw
and
Oa Saturday last
a fatal colliery accident Colliery, '
between Bury and Holton,
took place at Elton situate
tnes
Lancashire, under the following
circumstances :—Fourheanand boy were descending the
shaft in a cage, and w they bad descended seventy yards,
the plug connected with th winding wheel suddenly be-
came loose, so that, the e nineeer having no longer command
of the rope, the men were ion3ediately precipitated to the
bottom of the shaft adistance of sixty yards. Two of
them, named Robert Unsworth and Fletcher Jackson, were
killed on the spot A third' named George Bradley, had his
arm torn

ARMY PRIZE MONEY.—It appears by a Parliamen-
tary return printed on Thursday, that the total amount of
unclaimed army prize-money, from the 18th January, 1809,
to the 31st December, 1851, amounted to 1,405,5551 19s. 7d.
Of this amount 720,0511. was paid to claimants; 57,8011. was
paid for expenses incurred in executing acts; 597,7301. was
paid for the Royal lEspital in diminution of the annual
vote; and the balance, 30,000/, was paid to the Commis-
sioners of Woods and Forests for appropriation towards the
Royal Military Asylum.
RAILWAY PROJECTS AND THE WINDING UP
AcTs.—A question was decided in the louse of Lords on
Saturday which is of great interest to those connected with
railway schemes brought within the provisions of the Wind-
ing-up Acts. An opinion has lately been expressed by
many of the judges that such railway projects as had not
proceeded far enough to be formed into a company were
not within the meaning of the Winding-up Acts. The
question has now been set at rest by the decision of the
House of Lords, who have decided that these inchoate rail-
way companies are within the Winding:up Acts. In this
decision the Lord Chancellor and all the judges present con-
curred.
Sir John Johnstone, M.P., with a memorial from
Scarborough, had en interview with the ChnUnollor of
