THE DEPARTURE.

The advertised hour for sailing was ten o'clock, but
long before that time thousands had assembled on the
Wellington Dock pier•head, to witness once more the
departure of this noble ship for the Antipodes.
About half•past eleven o'clock, all her arrangements
being completed, she left her berth in the Wellington
Dock, and was hauled into the river, and, amid the
cheers of thousands of spectators, steamed slowly down
the Victoria Channel.
She carries out about 450 passengers.

TATTERSALL'S-YVITNIDAT.

Attendance comparatively thin, and owing to the un-
settled state of affairs only a very limited amount of
business transacted.

Kingston was in request for both Ascot Stakes and
Cup—for the latter event, however, after the withdrawal
of Virago, Rataplan was advanced to the position of
first favourite ; he was also backed for some money for
THE VASE.-At the commencement 4 to I was laid—
at the close 2 to 1 was taken.

ST. LEGER.—The principal movement in reference to
this event was the support given to Dervish ; various
sums were invested at 8 to 1, and finally 6 to 1.
THE DERBY.—A new favourite, named Grsectilus
Esuriens, a pretty euphonious name to be pronounced
trippingly in " The Ring," was introduced at 1,000 to
45 taken, and the demonstration made by his eager
partisans, quickly advanced him to 17 to 1 ; 18 to 1 was,
however, the last quotation, odds which were offered
against Ouleton, backed in the early part of the after-
noon at 20 to 1, the taker desirous of going on.

Tun DISCOVERIES AT NINRVRIL—We understand
that Mr. Layard, the enterprising Assyrian traveller,
has consented to deliver a lecture on the above subject,
at Claremont chapel, Pentonville, on Wednesday, June
21st, in aid of the funds of the British schools in con
nection with the chapel. Those of our readers, there-
fore, who desire to hear Mr. Layard's personal account
of his wonderful discoveries in the " Buried City of the
East," will do well to avail themselves of an oppor-
tunity which certainly will not often °pour. Mr. Al-
derman Challis will take the chair. We believe ticket*
of admission may be obtained at most of the religion.
