SPORTING NOTES.--No. CCCCXXII.

The past couple of days racing at head quarters has
furnished us with a fen mems. worth recording. The
Rowley Mile Plate, the winner of which once won the
Derby, was this time carried off by Feversham with
considerable ease. Now, as Feversham is consideered
to be something like a stone inferior to his stable com-
panion Sittingbourne, the latter's chance was imme-
diately set down as first-rate for the Derby, and he was
backed accordingly to win close upon 20,0001. at 9 and
10 to one. That Sittingbourne's chance is a good one
is my own opinion ' • but I doubt very much his capa-
bility of beating his former conqueror, West Australian.
Ethelbert's victory in the 25 sovs. Stakes over Har-
binger enabled the party to obtain a bit of a line be-
tween him and Pharos ; and from their backing their
horse immediately after the race at 25 to 1 for the
Derby, it is evident favourable hopes are entertained of
him. I have no idea of his winning, after the three or
four preparations he has had this season.
Two out of the three stakes I commented on in my
last notes came off in exact accordance with my antici-
pations : Lord Exeter's colours having been in the as-
cendant for the Suffolk Stakes, and Mr. Greville's
Frantic having won the 50 sovs. stakes. I selected
Father Thames for the 25 soya. stakes, thinking it very
improbable at the time I wrote that Ethelbert, with the
Derby staring him in the face, would go to the post.
SHREWSBURY MEETING.—There is a stake of some
little importance to be run off at Shrewsbury to-morrow,
over the mile and a quarter course, called the Shropshire
Stakes, of 10 goys. each, 3 ft, with 50 added. The entry
numbers no less than forty-seven names, and a large field
may be expected at the post. The top weights from
Weathergage to Red Lion, with the exception of the
Prime Minister, possess but little chance. The Minister
may run forward. Father Thames, Warwick, and the
Trueboy mare have their hopes disposed of by Bardolph.
Evadne does not seem to be a starter, or her chance at
7st lib, would be first rate. Le guff is not over bur-
dened with weight at 7st. The Alp is too slow. Old
Clothworker, with but 7st up, is treated very
leniently ; and, but for being particularly stale,
would have finished in front. St. Michael, Bourton,
Candlewick, Liberty, Young England, and Thunderbolt
are disposed of by Forester and Melford, both of whom
have a moderate turn of speed—the great requisite in
this race. Lerrywhent, at 6st 41b, is let in on splendid
terms, so good that, in all probability, he will be the
winning animal. Surveyor, Waterfall, Octavia, Calot,
Tame, and Llanforda are not of the slightest use on this
occasion. Audubon looks somewhat mischievous at
sst 71b, and Placid and the Evening Star are not badly
treated at sst each. Maria Bell might have created
some sensation, but I understand she does not run. In
conclusion, it is my Opinion that LERRYWHENT will be
the winner ; or, should he fail, Placid will occupy his
intended place. Le Juif, Audubon, and Evening Star
will finish well

THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

DEATH OF SIR WALTER RALEIGH GILBERT,
BART.

The announcement of the death of Lieutenant-General
Sir Walter Raleigh Gilbert, Bart., G.C.8., and Member
of the Council of India, will be received by the entire
body of the Indian army, and by the portion of her
Majesty's forces which served recently in the East, with
deep sorrow. This sentiment will be largely shared by
Sir Walter Gilbert's late commanders, Lords Hardinge
and Gough.
Sir Walter Gilbert had attained the age of 68; yet
his death is regarded by his comrades as premature. So
brilliant a soldier was he that no one could hold him to
be other than young.
Sir Walter Gilbert entered the Bengal army in
1800, and in the following year was posted to the
15th Regiment of Native Infantry, commanded by
Colonel (afterwards Sir John) Macdonald, of the
Bengal army. With this distinguished corps he was
present at the defeat of General Perron's brigades
at Coel, at the siege and capture of Allyghur, at the
battle of Delhi, and capture of 68 pieces of heavy artil-
lery, 13 tumbrils, and 11 standards, taken from General
Louis's force ; at the storming of? Agra, at the memo-
rable battle of Laswaree, where 70 pieces of cannon,

all
artillery and their ammunition ;at the subsequent in which the enemy lost 87 pieces of
fall of the fortress of Dieg ; and at the desperate, but
unsuccessful, assaults on Bhurtpore, under the personal
command of Lord Lake, who highly esteemed the young
soldier for his gallantry. In all these arduous services
Lieutenant Gilbert exhibited the same heroism which
later in life induced him to dismount when he found
that his horse would not approach a huge boar which
threatened the life of his friend, and chargsedsut it

And thus it was at Moodkee, at Sobraon, at Chilian-
wallah, at Goojerat ; wherever Gilbert was, there you
were sure to find successful bravery. No wonder that
such conduct should elicit from Sir Robert Peel " envy
of the profession of a soldier."
His last crowning act finished the campaign in the
Punjab, 16,000 old and tried Sikh soldiers having
grounded their arms to him.

DEATH OF MDLLS. VAN DE WETRE.—We regret to
announce the demise of Mddle. Evelyn Van de Weyer,
second daughter of his Excellency the Belgian Minister
and Madame Van de Weyer, who expired on Monday,
after three weeks' illness, at the early age of five years
and seven months.

Mr. FITZROY said he imasnow engaged in framing
a cluse to be introdu into the

Billa, for the purpose of prviventit
ng the nuisance occa-
sioned by advertising vans, but there was a difficulty in
determining what was an advertising

Sir D. L. EVANS hoped the bill would in contft
power of appeal against the decisions of plolice—magis-
trates.
Sir R. H. INGLIS said there were so many objec-
tions to this measure, that he trusted the Government
would now see the necessity of referring it to a selectuient
committee.
Mr. FITZROY could stae no such necessity. The
bill was one of great public interest, and he hoped the

have the effect of delaying it.

The committee re-assembled this morning at 12 o'clock.
Lord Seymour in the chair.
Mr. Stafford was r..1-examined at considerable length,
and in answer to questons from the chairman, he per-
sisted in stating that he ILIA only cancelled the circular
of 1849 for the purpose of pi-eventing the appointments
in the dockyards being still in the hands of his political
opponents. Although by the circ:nlat of 1849 the Whigs
professed to abandon patronage, yet by the appointment
of the Whig surveyor of the navy, is e would have the
patronage in his hands for four years after they had re-
tired. He had nothing to say against the .superintend-
ents of the yards, and he must say that his sustlicions of
what was going on were very much exaggerated.
Mr. Beare was then examined, and said he had
taken part as election agent on the Conservative
side ever since the borough of Devonport was enfran-
chised in 1832. He then went into details of the several
elections that had taken place there, but no Govern-
ment patronage appeared to have been used there until
Sir Edward Codrington became a candidate for the re-
presentation of the borough, when it appeared to be
launched forth in full force. When Mr. Dawson was
a candidate, holding office under Sir R. Peel, he saw every
elector personally, and had a large majority of pledged
votes ; yet notwithstanding that he lost his election, and
was most decidedly defeated by the dockyard influence.
I have no doubt that since 1847 the Government in-
fluence had been so marked that every man who gained
promotion was almost invariably a Whig. He then
gave a long list of officers holding principal situations,
who were put in by the Whigs and voted for them.
In the last five years the promotions for leading
men were as follows :—Conservatives, 4 ; men with
no votes, 2 ; and Whigs, 36. From March to December
no promotions were made by Lord Derby's Govern-
ment. When the Whigs went out of office they left
several vacancies, and when the next Government came
in the supporters of that party wished for a share of
that patronage, and he (witness) was indignant that
they did not get it. He thought every one in the dock-
yards, whether officers or men, ought not to have votes.
The price of a vote in the dockyard, if it was a ship-
wright, was 201., and if it was a sawyer, 101. He had
heard of promotions for money amongst officers in the
dockyard, and of situations being obtained there for
persons for money. When Mr. Tufnell came to Devon-
port he was introduced by Admiral Dundas to the house
of the Admiral Superintendent, who took a Toy active
part in his election. At the last election the mastor ship-
wiight of the dockyard was one of the first pergola
who appeared on the hustings, and, of course, could ~ee
how every man voted. He thought that it would be to the'
advantage of the men of the dockyard amongst the 2,400
voters for Devonport if they were placed in schedule A,
as he had seen so much mischief arising from the posses-
sion of them. Whatever occurs in the dockyards is im-
mediately known to their political partisans outside.

DIEWONTINTJANCE OF STEPNEY FAIR. —Yesterday
morning notices were posted round the eastern parts of
the metropolis, to the effect that no booths, shows,
swings, exhibitions, or stalls would be allowed on the
piece of ground, called the "Fair-field," on Whit-
Monday next ant.l following days. It appears that the
owner of the property has already commenced building
on the ground, which is near the Thames Police Court,
Arbour-square, Stepney. This arrangement has caused
much surprise to the poorer classes of persons, who
generally make a fev•-• shillings at holiday time by the
sale of toys, &c. ; but it wahl rumoured yesterday in the
neighbourhood, that a fair oil. a smaller scale would be
held in a field at the rear of the Prince of Wales Tavern,
which is within a short distance of the old spot.
STEAMERS TO BRAZIL AND THE RIFZR PLATE.—It ap-
pears that the arrangements of the South American and
General Steam Navigation Company for tie commence-
ment of operations have been definitively settled. This
undertaking has been got up entirely at Livegool and
Manchester by the merchants of those places, w,ho con-
ceive that the traffic to Brazil and the River Ph.'te is
sufficient to render a powerful steam line remunemtive
not only without a Government bounty, but also in eOI
petition with a company in the enjoyment of one. The
first of their vessels, the Argentina, is to be dispatched
on the 24th of June with passengers only, and will
afterwards remain in the River Plate to ply between
Monte Video and Buenos Ayres. She is a paddle-wheel
vessel, and is to be followed on the 24th of July by the
Brazileira. At first the trips of the company's ships
will be monthly, but it is already in contemplation that
they should start every fortnight.
,POSTMEN'S CHRISTMAS BOXES.—The following notice
hag been sent to all the employes in provincial offices
:
"The Yostmaster-General has been pleased to withdraw
the restri‘ltion which precludes letter carriers and others
employed jn country offices from soliciting Christmas
gratui ties. "
How TO DBYY ONE'S WIFE.—One of our American
contemporaries observes that a man who can whistle
may, to any extant, defy his wife. " What, under the
dome of heaven, is more vexatious to her than to hear
an irreverent whistle while she is intent on vocally es-
timating the moral deficiencies of her husband. Not
alone does it close the summary, but it vanquishes the
summarian. Husbands ! try it ! You'll hear a curtain
lecture never more. That whistling was contemplated by
a benignant Nature in the soberest of moods is apparent
from the fact, that it is unequally distributed. It is a
gift ; an endowment ; an afterthought ; a kind of codicil
added by the dame after she had made her general be-

ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL AT ST. BARTHOLOMEW%
HOSPITAL. —Yesterday being the 306th anniversary 'of
the opening of St. Bartholomew's Hospital for the re-
ception and treatment of patients, the Right Hon, the
Lord Mayor, accompanied, by the president, the alder-
men and commonalty of London, and other governors,
the sheriffs of London and Middlesex, the medical and
surgical staff, Mr. Bentley (treasurer), and Mr. Wix
(secretary), and attended by the steward, matron, and
other subordinate officials, proceeded on their annual
visit of inspection, and to present gratuities to the de-
serving servants of the institution. The hospital was
first founded by Rahere, the principal of the adjoining
priory, in 1113, but on the dissolution of the monasteries
and religious houses in tb e reign of Henry VIII., was
suppressed. It was, however, re-established in 1547.
The monastic edifice having been found much decayed
and dilapidated, the present structure was commenced
in 1750, and completed, in 1770. Since that time many
additions have been rAade, and at present there are 24 s
wards, containing 550 beds, besides children's cots, wi !TIMM FROM BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE.--Yesterday Mr.

FOREIGN COMMERCE OF RUSSIA.—The Russian go-
vernment has just published the official account of the
foreign
commerce of the country for 1851. During that
year there was exported by the European frontiers
of the Empire, and by the frontiers of Poland
and of Asia, and by Finland, merchandise to the
amount of 389,577,828 f. The amount in 1850 was
384,546,288 f. The increase in the value of the imports
has been more considerable ; in 1850 it was 370,549,776 f.
and in 1851, 414,940,448 f. In 1851 the imports exceeded
the exports by 25 millions, while in 1850, the latter exceed-
ed the former by 16 millions. The falling off in the ex-
ports in 1851 was principally on raw hides, linseed,
rapeseed, copper, wool, tallow, and bristles. The ex-
ports of corn in 1851 was, however, larger than in 1850,
but principally in rye and oats ; in wheat there was a
diminution, owing to the abundant harvests in France
and England. The reduction to the export of tallow,
for which England is the principal market, is attributed
to the large quantity received in that country from
America and Australia. The increase in the imports
has been principally in copper, raw cotton, dye stuffs,
cottons, silk and linen manufactured goods, machines,
models, and tools ; an augmentation which shows the
