SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
The weight of the betting was on the Northampton-
shire Handicap, for which The Tartar was backed fora
large sum, springing before the close of the books to 5 to
1. Fernhill was also in favour; he was backed freely in
several quarters, and improved at least five points on the
opening quotation; he had previously been backed at the
sporting houses for a considerable amount. Several bets
were laid on the Metropolitan Handicap, at last week's
prices. Tho Chester Cup transactions were remarkable
only for the elevation of Joe'-o• Sot to the premiership;
The Tartar was friendless. The Derby bets did nut
lead to any alteration. Closing prices:—

The Chancellor of the Exchequer is reported, in the
course of the debate, to have made the following obser-
vations:—" When he found that in the last twenty years
the people of this country had been relieved from taxes
to a most enormous extent, and that those taxes were on
articles of consumption or the raw materials of manu-
facture, he was at a loss to understand on what ground
it was now, fur the first time, asserted in those associa-
tions throughout the country, and in a public manner,
that taxation pressed in so grievous a manner. In the last
twenty years there had been repealed or reduced taxes to
nearly 20,000,0001. There has been imposed taxes to
about 9,800,0001, the country being relieved to the ex-
tent of 9,899,0001., or nearly 10,000,0001. of one descrip-
tion of taxes or another, taken from articles of con-
sumption and raw materials."
To these remarks the Association oppose the following
comparison of taxation in 1801, and the three years
ending sth of January, 1846, 1847, and 1848 :

Customs and

ing Property

Thus taxes, strictly so called, and paid altogether by
the wealthier classes, (including the property and in-
come-tax), have increased since 1801, on the average of
the three years ending sth of January, 1846, 1847, and
1848, by the comparatively trifling amount of 70,0001.
only, while stamps (including the probate and legacy
duties, which do not apply to freehold property, and,
therefore, press more on the middle classes) have in-
creased in the same period 4,689,0001.; but the customs
and excise, which are contributed by the masses, and
which press most especially and most heartlessly on the
poor, have, during the same time, been augmented by no
less a sum than 17,070,0001.
These custom and excise taxes, taken chiefly from the
poverty, and not from the property of the country, pay
every farthing of the expenses of the State, including
the civil government, justice, diplomacy, forces, public
works, bounties, and miscellaneous; and, in addition
thereto, from one-third to one-half of the interest on the
national debt; so that property really pays not one far.

The House of Commons having decided that the ex-
penditure shall not be largely reduced, the Association
appeal to the country to urge upon the House that tax-
ation ought, under any circumstances, but more espe-
cially after its recent decision, to be placed upon pro-
perty and income, and fairly and equitably levied, as the
only means of insuring a wise economy in all branches
of tha public service, and not, as at present, upon articles
of consumption and use, whereby the development of
industry and the progression of social improvement are
impeded, if not destroyed.
The time has arrived when, for its own security, pro-
perty must bear the burdens of the State, and when, to
enjoy its rights, it must discharge its duties.—By order
of the Council, Wm. FOULKES, Secretary.

THE WRECK OF THE FLORIDIAN.

HARWICH, MONDAY EVENINQ.—The lamentable fate
of the ship Floridian and her living freight of emigrants,
on the Long Sands, during the violent tempest on the
evening of the 28th ult., has produced a most painful
feeling along the entire range of the eastern coact. In-
cessant have been inquiries here as to whether any more
of the unfortunate creatures bad been preserved. With
the exception, however, of the four poor fellows taken
from the rigging by the Petrel revenue cutter, every
human being on board perished, numbering in all 171
souls.

The depositions of the surviving seamen of the Flo-
ridian have been taken by the authorities of the port,
and from them we gather an authentic detail of the cir-
cumstances attending the ship's loss. It may hero be
stated that their names are henry hill, Ephraim Stock-
bridge, a wan of colour, and William Ilary.
The crew, with Captain Whitmore (who had his wife
on board), amounted to fourteen, the names of whom
were Wm. Viley, chief officer, of New LondLondon; a
Swede, name not known, second officers James William-
son, steward; Richard Ferdinand, cook; Charles Barrett,
John Tillman, Peter Davis, Edward Woody, Charles
Thomas Balwith, John Dutch, and the above-mentioned
survivors.

After the ship struck, the terrified emigrants rushed
on deck, and a scene of heart rending character ensued.
1 he poor creatures ran about in almost frantic confusion.
The ship continued striking the shoal, and Captain
Whitmore finding, by sounding the pumps, that she had
bilged, signalled a barque (which afterwards proved to
be the Dyle) about three miles off, for assistance. The
captain ordered the men to force the emigrants below, in
order that some means of escape might be prepared for
them, but it was all in vain, for, as the man Hill states,
" What could 13 seamen do with 160 frantic passen-
gers?" The captain finding by the broken frag-
ments that were coming up each side, that the vessel
was breaking up, directed the boats to bo launched.
His intention was to take the passengers to the barque.
Two, named Charles Barrett and John Tillman, got into
the first boat lowered to bale the water out she had ship-
ped. The passengers, however, got hold of her, and
were hauling the boat alongside to jump in; but Bar-
rett, apprehensive of her being stove in, cut away the
painter, and the boat drifted astern. The life-boat, ca-
pable of containing about twenty persons, was then
launched, Captain Whitmore directing the men to stand
by, so as to prevent too many getting into her. He was
the first to enter, with the intention of assisting his wife
into the boat. It was instantly filled, and the next mo-
ment she was capsized and all were drowned, the cap-
tain and the chief mate, who had gone to assist
the passengers into the boat disappearing with
the rest. Mrs. Whitmore, who had been un-
able from the pressure to get in, was on the
quarter deck, and witnessed the fate of her husband. To
the remainder of the ship's company it was evident that
most of those on board, about 150, would perish, as
they felt and saw the vessel fast breaking up. The sea
was lashing the ship on all sides, the water had burst
up her hatches, and her cargo of boxes, cases, &c., was
washing about her decks in all directions, breaking many
of the passengers' legs, who as they fell were by the
next sea washed overboard and lost. As a last resource
it was resolved to cut away the main and wizen mast.
She had heeled over on one side, and it was hoped it
would be the means of saving her, but no axes could be
found. The rigging was separated with an idea that the
masts, not having the necessary stay, would go over, but
they held on for half an hour afterwards, when the ship
went in two, and the main and wizen mast, yielding by
the board, fell with a loud crash. Many of the emigrants
were crushed to death by their fail, and others were
knocked overboard. Hill, nary, Stockbridge, with ano-
ther seaman, named Davies, and four or five passengers,
had taken to the fore-rigging. Previously- they had

ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE.
Young Hernandez, the American youth, described
in the bills (and in thin instance the bills do not
exaggerate) as the greatest rider in the world, made
his first appearance here last evening, and, certainly,
whether as regards graceful poses, fearless riding,
wonderful feats of adressc and agility, and strength,
his are by far the most wonderful performances that
we have ever witnessed, or that have ever been ex-
hibited in the metropolis for the last quarter of a cen-
tury at least ; indeed, we doubt whether even
Widdicomb himself, who appeared last night,
"flourishing in immortal youth," as active, as fresh,
and as juvenile as ever; we doubt whether even
Widdiconab in the whole course of his long cape-
rience has ever seen the equal of young Hernandez.
This prodigy is quite a youth, he cannot be more
than fifteen years of age, and, albeit, he is the most
daring rider that has ever yet appeared, such
is the apparent ease and the real grace with which he
performs his astonishing feats, that the spectator
experiences none of that apprehension of danger
which, in many instances, takes off so ma-
terially from the pleasure of witnessing similar
feats. With young Hernandez you feel sure. Some
of his feats were exceedingly wonderful. Our readers
have no doubt seen the usual performances of jumping
through hoops, over garters, over flags, through bal-
loons, while the horse is at full speed. All these
feats, which other equestrians perform by jumping
forwards, Hernandez performs jumping backwards,
and performs them with an ease and a grace that no
other rider has ever approached. He performs also
a series of most novel and original tours (de force in
reality, but de grace also) on one leg. These one-
legged feats are among the most astonishing portions
of his performance. One of his leaps backward is most
marvellous. Three flags are spread out abreast of each
other ; he leaps backwards over the whole of them, his
steed being at full speed. Hernandez is the most
accomplished master of his art that has ever appeared
in England. His is the only equestrian performance
we ever recollect having witnessed, in which there
was not some portion or other approaching to a
failure, some feat attempted which missed,
and had to be repeated: There was nothing of
this sort the case with Hernandez ; everything he
attempted was done at once, and well done. We opine
that his performances will be among the most attrac-
tive in the metropolis. We had in addition, the ordi-
nary Scenes in the Circle, the wonderful perform-
ances of Mr. Batty's trained Persian palfrey,
one of the cleverest horses in existence, and some
graceful tight-rope dancing. The performances com-
menced with the new Mexican spectacle, which still
continues to attract crowded houses, and in which the
celebrated horse Beda delights the audience by his
wonderful feats of sagacity; and concluded with the
farce of Curiosity. The house was exceedingly
well attended.

(From the Times.)
A very important addition has been made to the amuse-
ments in the circle of this theatre by the engagement
of a young American equestrian, named Hernandez,
who appeared for the first time last night. Even
the feats which he achieves in common with other
performers gained a novelty by the perfect ease
and finish with which he executed them. Generally
the very best artists of the class make a hitch or
two in the course of the evening, though they always
repeat their attempts till every proposed diffi-
culty is solved. This young Hernandez, on the con-
trary, never so much as approached a failure ; while the
most daring leaps were taken without a show of effort,
and with a cheerful smiling countenance. Judging from
his appearance, we should say ho was under 14 years of
age ; but, young as he is, he has brought an elegance
and a " poetry of motion" into the art of equitation
which has for a long time been unknown at Astley's.
He was twice called, amid raptures of applause, by a
crowded audience.

(From the Chronicle.)
A young American rider, described as " Young
Hernandez," made his first appearance at this favourite
place of amusement last night, with decided success.
Ho is a youth, to all appearance about fourteen years of
age, finely formed, and with a handsome countenance.
His style of riding is remarkably fearless; and
it combines with feats of agility and strength, many
of which are unprecedented, a singular gracefulness,
which, together with the confidence he inspires,
renders his performance very surprising and agreeable.
Among his various feats is one requiring great strength
and skill. On a horse running at full speed, he
jumps backwards, over three flags spread out abreast.
He also performs some extraordinary leaps on one leg.
Altogether, his performance is well worth a visit to the
Trauspontine Circus. The rest of the entertainments
now given here aro also very good. There is a stirring
Mexican spectacle, with real horses and all the usual ap-
pliances. Miss Woolford and Herr Hengler dance to-
gether on a double tight rope. There is a remarkably
well-trained horse, described as Mr. Batty's " Persian
Palfrey," which performs many surprising things with a
singular and pleasing docility; also a couple of good
clowns, one of whom has a is ell-trained dog, that does
all sort of things seemingly impossible to the canine
race; and, above all, there is still the immortal and ever-
juvenile Widdicombe in all his pristine glory.
(From the Post.)
The latest hippo-dramatic spectacle produced is en-
titled Corasco; or, the Warrior's Steed, and is composed
of a series of scenes, incidents, and situations, suffi-
ciently harrowing and exciting to satisfy the most en-
thusiastic devotee of violent sensation and sanguinary
catastrophes. The author has mingled all possible
appliances and means to rromote the romanticism
of the transpontine playgoer. There are Mex-
icans and Spaniards, high priests of the sun, and
Incas and Hascala warriors, and a distressed princess,
and knights and slaves; and, though last not least, Mr.
Batty's highly-trained courser Beds, who performs a
most distinguished part in the affair, and not only serves
as a steed, but as a hewer of wood and a drawer of
water, and enacts sueh wonders that the bipeds of the
theatre must feel terrible goading of envy at her unri-
valled talents, and the genuine applause she literally loser s
from the discriminative aed appreciative audience. The
principal attraction, however, last night was the first
appearance in England of the celebrated American
equestrian youth Hernandez. Nothing so perfect of
its kind has been seen in our days, and his riding
is as much beyond the ordinary exorcises of
the circle as was the dancing of Taglioni above the
coarse movements of the ballet girl. There is grace,"
certainty, and the most exquisite finish ;
athne
marvellous tours de force are accomplished without
least visible muscular exertion; indeed, they
are seemt lo f long
srather
like spontaneous acts of volition than the result
and
practice. His poses are varied as they
are worthy the chisel of the fiuest p
e
might servo as a model for ayouthfulcu Apolloltr b
orln anfn rAmn th
i•
nous, and each movement is instinct with artistic feel-
ing. All that we have

" (From the Advertiser.)
Last night a singularly-varied aeries of performances
attracted a full audience to this very entertaining:theatre.
Numerous novelties were produced on the occasion, all
of which passed off with decided eclat. The great hit of
the night, however, was the debut of the Young Her-
mandez, a very youthful American equestrian, asserted

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.'
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a dull market for Cotton at Liverpool'
yesterday, and prices had a downward tendency. The►
sales were estimated at 4,000 bales, including 500 on
speculation.—ln Railway Shares there was a further de-
cline in prices.
The Continental advices received to-day have engaged.:
some attention, and there is an uncertain feeling produced'
by the report that the Russians have the intention of en-
tering the Dardanelles. Not much credit is attached to the
report, but in conjunction with the preparations making
by Denmark to meet any contingency arising from the
termination of the armistice on the 26th inst., and tke
position of the Italian question, there is room for doutit
and indecision. The accounts from France act quite as
a counterpoise to the news from other quarters, the
Bourse continuing extremely buoyant, and having in
fact been higher than ever. The speculators there are
evidently very confident, and there is a favourable issue
expected to the next elections.
Later accounts by two or three days have come to
hand from the Cape of Good Hope. The colony was
tranquil, and the Kafirs were better controlled on the
frontier, so as effectually to check their cattle depra-
dations .
The Canard steamer from the United States and
Canada has arrived off Liverpool, but her advices are not
expected in town to-day.
The fine weather reminds us that the season for emi-
gration is returning, and from all we learn it is likely to
be active. There is au excellent choice of destinations.
Canada, Australia, the Cape. and New Zealand, all offer
peculiar advantages. In a Parliamentary document re-
cently published concerning South Australia, one wit-
ness's examination runs thus:—
" Can you state any circumstance individually proving
the advance of prosperity of those people as exhibited
by their acquisition of property ? —Yes, I can. I settled
one person on the Company's lands of the name of
Joseph Gould, who took with him about 4001. or 5001.
as capital; he afterwards wrote me that is the course of
two years ho had doubled his capital. Mr. Giles, our
manager, mentioned one person who went out as a la-
bourer with Mr. Davenport in the year 1838, and when •
Mr. Giles wrote to me, in February, 1247, he said
that person had a farm, and had at least 2,000 bushels
of wheat upon it the preceding harvest. Another that
had gone with the same gentleman, Mr. Davenport, had
at least 1,000 bushels grown on his ground. I have
here the letter from Mr. Giles, of the 7th of February,
1847, in which ho says :—`Almost all the company's
present tenants in the country were labourers when you
left. Chandler, the Dunns, Philphers, and some of the
oldest shepherds are now worth a good deal of
money. I should say George Dunn's property
(that is one I have already named as having
been a shepherd) if sold at auction to-morrow
would realise at least 1,000/4 he has three sections of
laud of his own; this has been made in eight years.
One man, who came out a labourer with poor George
Francis Davenport, has 2,000 bushels of wheat this year.
Another of his men, named Yates, has 1,000 bushels of
wheat this season. He adds, I am quite certain wheat
has been grown here for 3s. per bushel and at 4s. per
bushel. The farmers may live well and save money,
and at the same time farm regularly, the following year,
as in England.' "
The Funds are very steady, the appointment of Sir
Charles Napier giving confidence; but there is not an
active business doing. Consols have been 911 8, and
are now about 911 4. The Bells are not much inclined
to operate further, and it will depend chiefly upon money
purchases to support the market. The New Three-and-
a-Quarter per Cents. have been 921 to 93, and the Three
per Cents. 911 to Bank Stock has been dull at 193
to 194 k. Exchequer-bills have been 435. to 445., and
India Bonds 535. premium. India Stock has been rather
firmer at 239.
The Foreign Securities have been very quiet. Spanish
are rather higher, the Five per Cents. being 17i to j,
and the Three per Cents. 291 to I. Portuguese Four
per Cents. have been marked 25 to 26. Peruvian
Bonds have been quoted 50i I. French Three per
Cents. have realised 52.50 to 53.50, with the exchange
at 25.20.

Shares have been rather firmer, including Hudson's
lines. The French, although rather quiet, are generally
dearer.
