pa:liculars of the other races :
The following are further
Craven Stakes.—Puppy took the lead at a good pace, followed
by Corialanus and Redshank to the bushes hill, where the mare
declined; and Redshank took her place, Coriolanus waiting on her
so closely that, after a severe race, he was not beaten by more than
a head ; Pussy Was a length behind him, but the others made a bad
" out of it.
Ab. M. Handicap.—Attrellus took the lead at starting, main-
tained it to the finish, and wort very cleverly by a length ; Helga
third (not placed), Miss Camarine, the Royal Oak colt, Vathek,
and Partner in the ruck behind him, and Kate Kearney, Gondo-
lier, and Perrot at the fag end, beaten off several lengths.
T. Y. C. Handieap.—There were several false starts for this race,
and the actual one was so confused that Spume was left behind al-
together ; Famine had a good start, made all the play, and won by
a length ; the two favourites were last.
The Riddlesworth.—After two or three false starts,. pectin took
the lead at a good but not by any means O. first-rate pace,
.Emineh,
and the Babel colt lying well up ; in this order they ran :p the
bushes, where Ermine and the Lunacy colt were beaten off; bms-
ther to Nell Gwynne came up here, defeated his horses without
even the semblance of a struple, and won by a length and a half
in a canter ; Destiny was third (a length behind Emineh), Babel
colt fourth, Lunacy fifth, and Ermine sixth, all so far astern that
the Judge placed the whole six. The betting at starting was sto
4on Brother to Nell Gwynne, and sto 2 agst Babel. No others
mentioned. Value of the stakes 2,8001., subject to the Winner's
stake, and the usual per centages.

THE DERBT.

Nell Gwynne, and 11 to 1 agst his winning this and the Riddles-
worth ; 25 to 1 was taken about the Babel colt for the same events,
and 15 to 1 for the Derby, for which stake he was backed to a con-

Ward, the other by the officers. Various other prize, including
a Silver Cup, given by J. Dalzell, Esq., added to a Purse of
101., are to be run for by horses hunted with the Puckeridge
hounds, the property of farmers.

STAG HUNT.--EXTRAORDINARY RUN.--The celebrated deer
" Particular," was turned out on Saturday the 26th ult. before
the Essex Stag Hounds, and afforded the horsemen present
one of the most splendid runs in the memory of the oldest
Sportsman. ' Harlow Bush Common was the spot chosen for
turning out, when Mr. Particular taking for Matching Green,
and Man NN ood, kept a-head at such a slapping pace, that out
of a field of 70 horsemen, not more than seven appeared in
their places 25 minutes after the start. The field now wore
rather a shy appearance, the horsemen dropping off one by one,
nntil they were few and far between. Some stuck fast in the
mud, and others were brought to a check by repeated runs
upon the BANK. A gallant pace was now kept up by Neave,
Arkwright, Tufnell, Burrell, Stallibrass, Smith, and Ned
Whitfield, on his favourite horse Jack, who maintained his
place among the foremost until the take. The deer took off for
Leaden Roothing, to Canfield, High Roothing, High Easter,
Good Easter, Mashbury, Pleshey, Great Waltham, Little
Waltham, Forth End, Littley Park, and Broomfield, where he
was safely taken after a run of three hours, over 36 miles of
the finest hunting country in the world. The seven gentlemen
whose names are mentioned above, being the only few going
with the hounds throughout, were in at the take. The nags
were nearly all dead beat ; several were discovered without
their riders on their way home. Riders with more water than
their boots would conveniently hold, trudging it manfully
through the ploughed land—The Puinps ! Those who have
the prads to go the pace, and are fond of it, will find Neave's
Hounds worth going 50 miles to meet any time, and no mis-
take All I know of the matter is, that it was " bellows to
mend" many a time and oft, as every one will acknowledge,
who was able to give any account of his place during any part
of this tremendous run.—Essex Herald.

PEDESTRIANISM.
Townsend, the pedestrian, on Monday, effected his under-
taking of walking one hundred times round Vincent-square,
Chelsea, in twelve hours. The match had been made for 201.,
and, independent of the exercise to be performed in the square,
it was required of him to go to twelve different public-houses
in the neighbourhood, and there refresh himself with divers
glasses of ale. He could not have chosen a better place for
the latter part of the undertaking'; in truth, there are few other
than public-houses. He started off at seven o'clock in the
morning, and, with the exception of forty-three minutes,
walked steadily the whole time, winning at seven minutes to
seven within a few seconds. He took it very leisurely in meal
times, occupying twenty minutes for breakfast, eighteen for
dinner, and five for tea. He won easily.
The match at Shepherd's Bush has been a cause of disap-
pointment to some hundreds. Gillet was to Lave Grif-
fithsgiven
four minutes in six miles, but having made so.:' c mistake
which has brought him within the Magistrates' cognizai::'e, he
is presumed at present to be walking in a more limited sphex-P.

LORD LYNDHURST'S PERSONAL APPEAR-
ANCE.--In height he is rather above the usual size, and, as
just stated, is of a handsome make. His countenance, like his
manner of addressing the House, is open and winning : he al-
ways looks cheerful and good-natured. , Those who did not
know his character would infer from the expression of his face,
that he was soft and modest to such an extent as to trench on
energy and decision of mind. His forehead is high, and well
developed, and his mouth is full of character ; his eye is quick
and piercing, and his nose has a good deal of the aquiline con-
formation. His complexion is dark, and his face inclines to
the oval form. What the colour of his hair is, Ido not know,
as he wears a wig. He is apparently of sound and healthy
constitution, and looks much younger than he is. No one, to
see him in the House of Lords, would suppose him to be in his
sixty-fourth year. When he used to sit in a court of law,
clothed in the habiliments of a Judge, be looked perhaps as old
as he is.—Randont Recollections of the House of Lords.
LIBERTY OF THE PRESS.—About a fortnight ago

estirmeted at 585,000, and these have 1,800,000
persons *pendent on them, making in the whole
ominous magnitude obviously requires a
2,385,000,
.a frightful amount of pauperism. A dis-
ease of such
peculiar treatmeh:
t. In England the workhouse is the
asylum for the aged and impotent poor, and it is not
t:
contemplated that the .able-bodied poor should remain
in it. From the reluctsrice of the latter to submit to
the restraints of the wori,-
;Muse, it is used as a means
of putting them on their o•Aro resources, and forcing
,
them to find out employment.
But in Ireland there is
possible
no employment to be found ; and vie
e it
orkh ouses for all who are destitute, ,and
to induce the to build
able-bodied to enter them, it would be impossible in
the present state of the country to provile for such a
multitude. On this point the Report states
The expense of erecting and fitting up the AS-email
buildings would come to about 4,000,0001., and allow-ing for
the maintenance of each person 20. only a day, that being
the expense of the Mendicity Establishment of DuZ)liee
and at other similar establishments in Ireland, the—cost of
supporting the whole 2,385,000 for thirty weeks annually
would be something more than 5,000,000/. a year, whereas
the gross rental of Ireland (exclusive of towns) is estimated
at less than 10,000,0001. a year ; the net income of the
landlords at less than 6,000,000/. ; and the public revenue
is only about 4,000,0001."
The workhouse system of England not being suited
to Ireland, the question is—how are the poor to be
provided for ? Hitherto the course has been compara-
tively easy. But it is not so easy to devise 3atisfactory
remedies for the evil. Before we proceed to native the
suggestions of the Commissioners respecting, the able:
bodied poor, we shall advert to their proposals for the
relief of the aged, impotent, and diseased.
" Th'e institutions existing in Ireland (they say) fOr the
relief of the poor, are houses of industry, infirmaries, fever
hospitals, lunatic asylums, and dispensaries ; the establish-
ment of these, except as to lunatic asylums, is not compul-
sory, but dependent upon private subscriptions, or the will
of grand juries ; there are but nine houses of industry in
the whole country ; while the provision made for the sick
poor, in some places, is extensive, if is in other places -ut-
terly inadequate ; and there is no geneoil provision made
for the aged, the impotent, or the destitute."
They propose that a legal provision shONld be made
for the relief and support of incurable as well .ts curable
lunatics, idiots, epileptic persons, cripples, deaf and
dumb, and blind poor, and all who labour under per-
manent bodily infirmities, to be afforded within the walls
of public institutions ; also for the relief of the si•ek
poor in hospitals, &c.; also for the purpose of
emi-
gration, for the support of penitentiaries, to which va-
grants may be sent, and of deserted children ; and
also for the relief of aged and infirm persons,
orphans, helpless widows with young children, the
families of sick persons and casual destitution. They
recommend the appointment of Poor-law Commis-
sioners as in England, and assistant Commissioners;
that Ireland be divided into relief districts, and sur- •
veyed and valued ; that there shall be a local Board
of Guardians for each district, elected by the rate-
payers ; and that the Board of Guardians kere the
direction of all institutions for the relief of the
poor supported by the local rate ; and that the Com-
missioners shall be authorised to assess a na-
tional rate upon the whole of Ireland, and
to require the Board of Guardians of each district
to raise a proportional share thereof 'With re-
spect to emigration, it is proposed that one-
hay' of the expense should be borne 6-2/ the
general funds of the empire, and the other half de-
frayed partly by the national rate, and partly by the
owners of land from which the emigrants remove, or
from which they may have been ejected within the pre-
ceding twelve montho, the lessors who may have sub-
let to emigrants to be considered the landlords. With
respect to vagrancy, it is recommended that any person
convicted of it, be transported for seven years ; that
penitentiaries be established, to which vagrants, when
taken up, shall be sent. With respect to the relief of
the aged and infirm, orphans, widows, and children,
and destitute persons in general, there is a difftrence
of opinion among the Commissioners. Some think
the funds should be partly provided by g national rate
and partly by private associations, which should be
authorized to establish mendicity houses, &c., and to
administer relief to the indigent at their own dwel-
lings ; while others think the whole of the funds
should be provided by the public—one portion by a na-
tional rate and another by' a local rate, and administered
as in England by the Board of Guardians of each dis-
trict. The Commissioners look to emigration end in-
ternal improvements, as resources for the ble-bo-
died poor. They recoil-men:l the appoainement
of a Board, with powers to ,eeirry into effeet a
comprehensive system of national improvem h ent. There
are 3,000,000 Irish or 5,000,000 nglis acres of
reclaimable waste lands. The Baird of improvement
to be armed with the most extensive poee•ers, to meet
the difficulties from the embarrassed state o pro?erty,
&c., to appoint local Commissioners. Wit:e respect
to lands already in cultivaticn, as there is throvgbout
Ireland an urgent necessity fol. drainage, the Coo
sinners recommend that the provisions of Pkire
O'Ferrall's Act, and the English 'Sewers' .t..et, may
be modified, incorporated, and exti.nded, so cis .o cause
all lands to be kept duly drained and ,te'snced under the
direction of a competent authority. As
the s
quired may be such that it could not be raised e.t oncme
by any rate either on landlords or occupiers, ;(ktite Co-
missioners recommend. that the Board niz.r.y be' eenho-
rised to advance the sum at once, making ilee reete re-
deemable by the poprietor ; and if he omit tos re-
deem, saleable by the Board. The Commissioners
recommend a number pf improvements, which in
the aggregate may be el" importance. But space
will not allow us to entek- into the various de-
tails. A great part of the reCources on which the
Commissioners calculate are to. be derived from
the improvement of the waste landa, amid the rats for
the improvement of lands already under cultiretion.
With respect to the poor, properly eo called it is re
commended that the board of guardians
trict shall frame an estimate of the sum:, required,
within the year, that the estimate shall be trOmittel!
