very good third. Run in Im. 45sec.

The weather was favourable, and the company, from
the anxiety to see the new Derby favourite make his
first appearance, larger than on either of the preceding
days. The entire interest of the racing centered in
one race, which, it will be seen came off in favour of
Nunnykirk, but not in the style in which his admirers
had anticipated; this may be inferred from the betting
on the Derby-9 to 2 having been taken before the race,
and 6 to 1 laid after it. Offers to take sto 2 about
Flying Dutchman, and 6to 1 about Tadmor. Nunny-
kirk receded to 2 to 1 for the 2,000 Guinea Stakes, end
Honeycomb found favour at sto 2. The Metropolitan
betting shows no change, except in Lugar, who has been
backed at 6 to 1.

The Jockey Club have resolved that in future the en-
trance for plates shall not exceed three sovereigns. No-
thing has been settled with regard to the alterations on
'le race course.

EAST LANCASHIRE RAILWAY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD.

Sir,—l notice a communication in your journal under
the head of " Railway Competition," which is calculated
to give as erroneous impression as to the true position
of affairs in reference to the competition for Liverpool
and Preston traffic. When we opened our line on the
2d April, via Ormskirk to Liverpool, we instructed the
North Union Company, who book our passengers at
Preston station by arrangement, to charge ss. for first-
class, and other classes in proportion, which were our
Parliamentary fares. They did so; but they charged
their own 4s. for first-class, and other classes in pro-
portion. We were compelled to reduce our fares to
theirs; but they continued to drop till they arrived at
the previously unheard-of price of Is. for first, or 6d.
only for third class, for 39 miles!
On Wednesday afternoon, and all Thursday, we were
booking at 25., Is. 6d., and ls.—just double the price of
our opponents.
As to the remark in in the article referred to, that the
" East Lancashire" refused to listen to any
from the " London and North-Western," I do not
what it means—l never heard of any Theovertares.
• Liverpool to Preston by
price of a first-class ticket fromoverturesow
the Parkaide route now is, I believe, 3s. 6d.; but my only
d
wish in this letter is to show the public a
tors that we did not commence the presentn our propfie-
contest as to
fares. I trust to your fairness to insert this communi-
cation.—l am, Sir, yours rescirtfmu

ClitiYompany.
Chairman of the East Lancashire Railway
April 10, 1849.

DuNcomae, Esq.,
T. S. M.P.—The health of this
lion. Gentleman has so far improved that it is his in-
tention to resume his Parliamentary duties shortly after
the termination of the Easter recess. The disease under
which Mr. Duncornbe has suffered so severely for a pro-
tracted period, has yielded Ito the skill and unremitting
care of his medical attendants, who are, we understand,
of opinion that with proper precautions the Hon. Mem-
ber for
ness before Finshits bury has yet many years of public useful-
.
Tlild COURT.—Her Majesty and the Court return,
according to present arrangements, to Buckingham
Palace from Windsor Castle, on Tuesday next. At an
early hour the same morning his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, attended by Colonel Phipps, will depart for Lin-
colnshire, in order the following day to lay the first
stone of the new docks at Great Grimsby.
