IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN CATTLE.

The report of the General Purposes Committee
upon the petition of the importers of foreign cattle and
wharfingers for permission to drive cattle from the
wharfs to Smithfield-market upon the arrival of the
vessels at their several destinations for Monday's
market, was brought up. It stated that the com-
mittee saw no reason for making any alteration in the
existing regulations, and was agreed to by the Court.
Several reports upon subjects of no public import-
ance were brought up and agreed to.
THE NEW CORPORATION ACT.
The court was closed upon the discussion of Mr.
Alderman Sidney's motion. "To draw the attention
of the Court to certain clauses of an Act passed during
the last session of Parliament, for regulating elec•
tions in the city of London, and to obtain the
opinion of the law officers of the corporation upon
the construction to be placed upon the wording of the
same." We understand that the court was finally
counted out.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
see in this day's Times a letter from the
Earl of Winchilsea, deprecating certain postal alte-
rations, and closing with a prayer to God to support
Lord John Russell in his arduous duties.

Is not this the same Nobleman-;110 went into
Battersea fields some time since to blow out the
brains of the Duke of Wellington ? He is wonder-
fully tender on the matter of the fourth command-
ment—did he ever read the sixth ?

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
ANTI-HUMBUG.

TROTTING. EIGHT MILE MATCH IN THIRTY
MINUTES FOR 25 sous. ASIDE.—Mr. George Jenks un-
dertook to cover four miles of turnpike-road, out and in,
within half an hour's fair trotting, according to Ameri-
can rules. The wager was decided yesterday at Houns-
low, Mr. Tarling, the backer of time, choosing ends for
start and finish. These were from the 14th mile stone,
on the Western-road, to the 10th (near the Red Lion, at
Hounslow), and returning over the same ground to
finish at the 14th. Tom Spring, with a watcher, as
check, was timekeeper. At starting 2 to 1 was freely
off, red on the horse, but the backers of time were shy.
The old black one, who has been driven three years on
London stones in a hack ell), went away beautifully,
and, without a single break, completed the distance
in 27 minutes 9 seconds, having 2 minutes and 51
seconds in hand.
