BRADLEY,

of Epsom, has only one animal entrusted to his care
that perchance may figure in this great race, and that
one is Count Battbyany'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 Hobo (who has actually succumbed in a match
to Ilex), and a b c WEATHERGAGE, 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 Bourn,. Tornacha, of no use whatever—
Mr. Formica's br g CLAVZRHOUSE, by Lancelot, out of
Gadfly, equally cranky—and Mr. Farrance's b c Jox
MILLER, by Venison, out of Witticism, who may do
something in one of the Spring Handicaps, but will
certainly achieve nothing in the Derby spin.
DALEY'S LOT

- - -
consists of a couple, namely—Mr. R. S. Walker's br c
TREASURER, by Verulam, 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 CAVAN,
who likewise will cause all cash invested in his chance to
be irrecoverably lost.

L. BYRNE,
of the Curragb, is carefully preparing one nag for the na-
tional race in Mr. Bradshaw's b c BARBARIAN, by Si-
moon, out of Lady Barbara's dam. This horse has up-
peered 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
stroag 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 hr c THE KNIGHT OF THE SHIRE, by Sir Her-
cules, out of Splitvote, and Mr. Payne's br c WINCE-
MIND, by Lanercost, out of Valentine; the latter a most
unworthy brother of War Eagle. The former's chance
requires no comment, and the tatter'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 HASIPTON, by Slane, out of Charlotte, who has ran
eight times, woo 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, full brother 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 even think that
there is some truth in it. Whether he is doing satisfac-
tory work at the present 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 ho won the Woodcote
Stakes, beating Flirt (second), Buckthorn (third), and
eleven others, including Frantic and the Sorella's 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
Clifdcn's in training:—b c 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 o SACKBUT, by
Touchstone, out of Concertina, who is scarce►y equal to
Magnes ; 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 e DOLLAND,
by Lanercost, out of Gaze. No go.
TOM DAWSON,
of the celebrated Moor of Middleham, has, as usual, a
lengthened string of Derby nags under his care, number-
ing, this year, no leas than seven. Mr. Meiklam's ch c

EXETER-HALL.—THURSDAY CONCERTS.
The second concert of the series took place last even-
ing, and it was veryffully attended. The madrigalsiand
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 she
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 coarse
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 Montimes.
The royal 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, Chagrea of the 10th, Jamaica of
the 14th. Barbadoes of the 17th, and St. Thomas's of the
20th. The Thames brings 1,251,472 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 passengers, amongst whom ars
the Marquis Allemma, 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.

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 6sh, but it is to be attributed solely
to the scarcity of the latter, and the unusually low stock
of the former.

Breadettiffs have-(declined in value, and speculation
during the prevalence of the low rates is checked by th•
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 149. and 209. per 1001 n, as in
quality.

Coffee—There is not yet sufficient at market to induce
a speculation, and prices are nominal.
Rum moves rather slowly at 3s. id. per gallon; choice
brands, however, command 3s. 2d. duty paid.
Pimento brings 3/d. and 3d. per lb.
Logwood is in very limited inquiry at 365. per ton; a
cargo of Campeachy is held at 40s.
Malt—Bottled ale and porter are taken at is.; 6s. 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 523. per 1001bs., in
moderate quantities.

Gold—American, I per cont. premium. The dollar
valued at 4s. sterling. a 'abloom are very scarce.

THE POOR FUNDIAOLDER.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
observe that many of the writers for the public
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 tuudholder—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
pterivrmed therefore the present generation should be de-
of a portion of their income by reducing the rate
of interest agreed upon between the partied
All this, Mr. 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,
persons of very small incomes-1004 2001., and per-

rate of interest, however, the State mercilessly exact.

trouble of getting the tax returned, actually pay the in-

a year for themselves and their families!
Now take the case of a professional man or tradesman.
Many of the former receive large incomes without the
risk of money-capital—why then should he be more
favoured than the creditor of the State? A tradesman
does not think 20 per cent. too great a return for the
risk of capital—is he to be visited lightly and the screw
to be put upon the fuedholder, with his paltry 3 per
cent., less the income-tax?
I am inclined to think

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 wail this
most nutritious beverage, together with excellent beef add
bread. Several charitable ladies residing in the vicinity
have kindly offered to superintend the distribution of these
substantial and acceptable gifts. The principal founder, Mr.
John Brady, of No. 86, Blackfriars-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

near Herne Bay, 51. ; Mr. Spencer, Union-street, Borough,

prietor of Astley's Theatre, 11., &c. &c.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE GLASGOW AND SOUTH.
WESTERN RAILwAY.—On Tuesday night a very serious
accident happened upon this railway at the Dairy 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
rnooestghohratzeprison E
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 other
with tremendous force. The number of passengers in tile
train was fortunately not very great, some of the carriages
being nearly, if not altogether empty, or the catastrophe
must have been of a very fatal kind, four first-class carriages
being almost knocked to pieces by the force of the concus-
sion. As it was, almost all the passengers suffered more or
less, seven or eight of them were considerably bruised,
one gentleman, and the guard of the train severely if not
dangerously injured. The railway has been opened. between
