The Bank, therefore, has increased its active circula
tion by 548,485/., having out 20,403,4251. in notes pay
able on demand. Its liabilities on account of seven-day
and other bills have also been rather increased, and
there is a large augmentation of private deposits, as is
often the case after the dividend payments. On the
other hand, it has less bullion and a smaller reserve
of notes, but has obtained a transfer (from
the Savings' Bank Commissioners it is stated) of a
large amount of stock as security for its advances to
Government, which is evidently still heavily drawn upon
by 'retard, besides having had the dividends to pay.
We shall see by next Friday's return how much of the
1,584,3651. of stock thus added to the creditor side of
the Banking account has been sold or lent, and whether
the Bauk has received payment to any extent in its own
notes.

ALARMING EXPLOSION IN ST. JOHN'S-STREET.
Yesterday morning, between one and two o'clock, consider-
able alarm was created in St. John's-street, West Smithfield,
in consequence of an explosion of gas, of a serious character,
taking place on the premises belonging to Mr. Barlin, cigar
manufacturer and tobacconist, situate at No. 48, in the above_
named street. It appears that the gas had escaped from the
burner to such an extent as to fill the front drawing-room.
One of the inmates, not knowing that the vapour had es-
caped, entered the apartment, when the gas exploded with
fe.frful noise, blowing the windows to the opposite side of the
road, knocking the man down who had the light in his hand,
and doing serious mischief to the apartment. Fortunately no
person was at all injured. Mr. Barlin was insured in the Sun
fire-office. The escape of the Royal Society and the engines
attended very early, but their services were not required.

their assessed taxes, and lend any article of establishment

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
EPSOM RACES.—.FRIDAY.
The Spring Meeting on Epsom Downs, the second
under a assuagement which seems resolved upon doing
things on a grand scale, " came off" yesterday with the
most brilliant success, a result ascribable in some
measure, no doubt, to the fineness of the weather, but
chiefly to the extraordinary improvement in the character
Of the stakes offered for competition. On the sport, we
need not deli here, it will be stets that, notwithstanding
the abuse so liberally bestowed upon the :andicap, a
large field of horses came to the post, and that, although
not of the highest grade imaginable, they offered as
good and exciting a race as if one and all had boasted
the blood and capabilities of an Eclipse.
The attractions of the list were nut confined to this rich
prize; it was backed up by Sir Gilbert Heathcote's Trial
plate, a respectable two-year-old stake, and two other
races in heats, composing a bill of fare that of
ample scope for speculation, and left the most ravenous
turfite nothing to wish tor. Previous to entering into
the details of the business of the day, two or three al-
terations which have been made since our last visit to the
Downs should be noticed. The Metropolitan Han-
dicap, as run for last year, was a stake of
10 sovereigns each, p.p., with 300 added, and the
distance run, starting near the house of Sir G. Heath-
cote's trainer, and finishing at the usual place, one mile
and a quarter.
The race brought to an issue yesterday was assimi-
lated to the great handicaps at other meetings, being a
Sweepstakes of 25 sovs. each, 15 ft; only 5, if declared,
&c. The bonus contributed by the innkeepers of the
metropolis and their friends, amounted to 5001.; and
the net value of the stake to the winner, clear of de-
ductions fur second and third horses, &c., realised
1,6451., exceeding the stake in 1846, by 8201. The
course, too, was different, instead of one mile and a quar-
ter, it was two miles and a quarter. The horses starting
at the winning chair, proceeding up the course to the road,
turning out of it to the right, going over the hill, with
a wide sweep, and into the old course again at the mile
post, thus running in sight all the way. We have heard
opin.ons expressed in favour of the course run last year.
We contess to a leaning that way. The new one is not
only trying for horses, but of necessity gives experienced
joekies an immense advantage over the light weights.
The company, however, appeared to be quite satisfied
with things as they found them, and certainly
a more generally interesting race has not been
witnessed, even on Epsom Downs. It had
the effect of nearly filling the grand stand, and of
attracting the most numerous assemblage ever
seen on Epsom Downs on any other than a Derby or
Oaks day ; the lessee was thus enabled to realise a trifle
towards a very heavy outlay fur improvements in the
stand and on the course. The " executive" was the
same as last year. Mr. Clark occupied the chair he has
so long and so honourably filled ; Mr. Hibbard was
starter, and Mr. Manning clerk of the scales. This staff
is now engaged at almost every meeting of note,
and to mention that their several duties were sa-
tisfactorily performed is not merely an act of
justice to them, but is necessary in order to
show stewards and race committees how easy it
is to propitiate the owners of race-horses by
availing themselves of the services of those who are
above all suspicion, and of whose capacity not a doubt
can be entertained. One minor feature in the arrange-
ments remains to be noticed—we mean the refreshment
department, hitherto intrusted to that experienced
caterer, Mr. Carless; this is now under the control of
Mr. Lumley, of Epsom, whose "initiative" was highly
creditable to himself and satisfactory to the public.
The racing commenced at half-past one, half-an-hour
later than was originally proposed. Owing to this, the
heats, and the loss of time occasioned by the restiveness
of Pell Mell, it was nearly seven before the company
were enabled to commence a dusty and bitterly cold
journey homewards. Time will not permit us to extend
our remarks further than to observe, that Ch rmont
proved how different running in dirt is from running on
good ground, by winning the Metropolitan Handicap,
after a remarkably fine race with Wolfdog and Brother
to Stitch, and netting for his owner and party a large
sum in bets.
Amongst the company congregated in the stand,
were—The Duke of Richmond, Lords March, Chester-
field, Maidstor.c, A. Lennox, G. Lennox, H. Lennox,
Suffield, Strathmore, G. Manners, H. Fitzroy, and E.

10 to 1 each agst Crozier and Odessa filly, 12 to 1 agst
Wolfdog, and 15 to 1 each agst Gwalior, Pose-apple,
and Rufus.
Brother to Stitch cut out the work at a good pace,
followed by Hannah Raine, and the Erseral Isle, Cro-
zier, Pine apple, Clermont, and some other light weights
lying up, and the heavy weights in the centre ; very
little change was observable until they came round the
turn near the mile Post, where Hannah Raine gave way,
and the Emend Isle running out to the left knocked
down two or three of the posts. got the rope under her
legs, and only by a miracle escaped falling—this put
her out of the race. Brother to Stitch still led at a
good pace, followed by Pine-apple, Clermont filling the
third place to the distance, where Pine-apple giving
way he became second. Wolfdog, who had been drawing
gradually towards the front after making the turn was
third half of the distance, and at the stand, simulta-
neously with Clermont, challenged Bro. to Stitch; a very
exciting race ensued, Clermont winning it by a neck
