WHITSUNTIDE SPORTS AT TURNHAN-GREEN.—On
Morality and Wednesday, trials of speed and agility
in the shape of biot and hurdle-raeing came off on the
3.16-common, Turnham green, for prizes given by John
Smith (the Regent-street pe), wha has lately taken the
Derby Arms, in the immediate neighbourhood of the
s-round. On Monday a race for novices, 100 yards fir
3i., was contested between Henry Smith, jun. and Samuel
Smith (brother to the Pet), who made a promising first
appearance, by winning by half a yard, after a fast' rattle
for a young one. The next was a race of 440 yards,
over eight hurdles, for a prize of st, for which John
Smith, Thomas Thompson, Edward Smith. and flat.-
rington contended. John Smith, giving three yards
start, came in first for the first hea., hut was appealed
against, and disqualified. Thompson, of Turnham-green,
who came in si cond, declared the winner of the
first event. Second heat—Edward Smith, 1; Thomp-
son, 2; Harrington, 3. Third heat—Thompson, 1; E.
Smith, 2; Thompson thus becoming the winner. Several
minor races followed. On Tuesday, a splendid hurdle
race, three hundred yards, over eight hurdles,
three feet six inches high, in heats, was con-
tended for a silver cup. John Smith, Brian of Bradford,
Edward Smith, Thomas Thompson, Joseph Robinson,
and Brown, appearing at the scratch. First heat E. Smith
put on the steam, and led well to the sixth hurdle, when
John Smith put on the steam, and led in by a couple of
yards. Second Heat—This brought five to the starting
point, Robinson (Caunt's Pet) having retired. Thomp-
son led to the fourth hurdle, when Brian went up, chal-
lenged, and passed him; the rest in a cluster. Thus
they ran to the sixth leap, when Brian and John Smith
singled themselves out, and Brian defeated him by a
yard. Third Heat—Five started, John Smith, E. Smith,
Thompson, Brian, and Brown. All went away admi-
rably, taking their hurdles in first-rate style; Smith and
Brian were leading, and Thompson third, when Brian
burst his shoe, and fell in the rear, Smith going in a
winner by six yards. We should observe, that Brian
and Smith gave their opponents three yards' start in
each heat. Between the first and second heats of the
hurdle race a walking match of ten miles wasAlecided
between T. Dance, Thomas Ravenscroft, and 'Thomas,
of Chelsea, for a silver snuff-box. Ravenscroft being
out of condition, resigned, after the first two miles, when
Dance and Thomas carried it OR at a great pace to the
fifth, keeping close together. Finally Thomas, who
walked exceedingly well, left his opponent upwards of
160 yards in the rear, who, however, walked on spi-
ritedly to the end. The mile race between Edwin Smith
and Samuel Hearne, was won by Hearne by 20 yards.

CORNWALL AND DEVONSHIRE WRESTLING
These annual matches commenced on Monday at the
Brecknock Arms, Camden Town, the prizes given being
501. in the Devon style, and 501. in the Cornish style,
besides a champion's belt, which excited unusual emula-

forts of the visitors to the Grand Stand. The lawn has
been considerably extended, and will now afford suffi-
cient space for a promenade, which from the increased
number of races each day, has long since ceased to be
practicable on the race course. At the back of the
stand a high wall has been erected, to shut out any nui-
sance or annoyance that might otherwise arise from the
booths and stables in that quarter. Trees have been
planted within the enclosure, which in a few years will
affdrd a delightful retreat from the heat of the sun, and,
with the addition of seats, will, in this respect, place
Ascot on a footing with Goodwood. In many other re-
spects the convenience and comfort of the visitors have
been consulted, and as it is beyond a doubt that her Ma-
testy and Prince Albert, with her illustrious visitors, will
be present on the first and third days, we look confidently
for a brilliant meeting.

Lion between the two counties; and induced the best
players to come up to London to compete for the prizes.
Cornwall sent up Thomas Gundrey, their champion, W .
Hodge, Trezise, Waters, Bray, Chipman, Oliver, &c.
Devon sent up its champion, W. Chapple, together with
Snell, Ellicombe, Layman, Toogood, Eyres, and Flyn,
from Ireland. The last-named threw his man yester-
day two back falls in a most masterly style. Bray
played a most beautiful turnout with J. Dyer, and won
both falls. Chipman, of Cornwall, cleverly threw
Hutchins, of Devon; W. Snell, of Devon, floored W.
[lodge, of Cornwall, after a very long and sharp bout.
The ring was next occup;ed by the two county cham-
pions, Gundrey and Chapple, and after one of the most
eeien.ific bouts of wrestling ever witnessed, Gundrey
fl:eired Chapple with the lett hip, in a most masterly
wyle. Bartlett (e). downed Toogood (D); thpa Good-
man (C), played Eilicombe (I)); being two very powerful
moo, they played very hard fir near two hours, Good-
man winning one back in that time. It being too late
to play out, their turn, they wer- to be called again, at
two this afternoon, when all the above men were to
be matched together for the Devon prizes.
Wednesday the wrestling at the Brecknock Arms was
resumed and brought to a conclusion, after a fairer dis-
/day of wrestling than had ever been witnessed in Lon-
don. The play commenced at two o'clock, when Good-
man -(e) and EiliA:ombe (D) were again antagonised
for the second fall, won alter an arduous: struggle by
Goodman. Snell (13) also threw Hodge (C) a second
time. Bartlett (C) performed the like to Toogood (D),
and Gundry (C) won his second from Chappell (D).
In this bout the interest of the day was almost concen-
trated, as being the acknowledged champions and repre-
sentatives of their counties; it was a statwart struggle
for twenty minutes, when Gundry manfully raised his
opponent and threw him by the back heave, amidst the
most deafening cheering from one party. Oliver (C),
the little wonder, now tripped Bowden; and Bray (C),
the stiff built and wily Uly,ses, toppled over Flynn
(Ireland), the powerful and straightforward Ajax, whose
goon-humoured, manly play was much praised. Tresize
(C) now threw Goodman (C), and Waters (C) threw
Chipman (C), and Gundry (C) was opposed to Snell
(D), whom he disposed of in fifteen minutes. Of the third
round we shall merely state that Bray threw Roper, and
afterwards Tresize (C) and Roper (C) wrestled for the
fourth prize, won by Tresize, flooring his opponent by
the back hitch. Gundry now defeated Waters and Bray,
and Waters subsequently threw Bray. The prizes
were, therefore-Ist, Champion's belt and 151. to Gundry
(C); 2d, 101. to Waters (C); 3d, Si to Bray (C); and
4th, 31. to Tresize (C); thus confirming our previous
opinion—the Cornish men having borne aNay the
prizes, although the wrestling was conducted in the
Devonshire style. Gundry, the winner of the chief
prize on Tuesday, won the same last year, and has held
the ring for many years ; his fine wrestling, and man-
liness, and good temper deserve all praise.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE
VERSALL'S- I'HUKSDAY.

Nothing transpired to encourage a belief that either
the Noble Lord or the " Prince," the absentees alluded
to iu Wednesday's paper, will meet their engagements;
independent of these parties some others have been in-
quired after, of whose ability and willingness to pay
there can be no doubt, but whose negicct to mak.-
arrangements of some kind, no excuse can be offered.
Considering the depressed state of the ring, we scarcely
need observe that most of the subjoined qaotations are
nominal.

DEATH CAUSED THROUGH DISSECTION.--ft will
be in the recollection of our readers that the late Harvey
Leach, the celebrated Gnome Fly and Man Monkey, left
orders, that after his decease his body should be given to
Mr. Liston, of University College Hospital, for disposal.
Mr. Liston handed the body over to his intimate friend
and companion, Mr. Potter, for dissection—who, whilst
engaged in his labour, pricked hislinger with the lancet,
This caused little care beyond placing his hand in a
sling for a day or two; but on the third day Mr. Potter
was attacked with fever—abscesses formed on his hand,
which extended up the muscle of his arm and over his,
chest, causing great agony; death eventually put a
period to his sufferings, and on Saturday his remains
were interred in the Kensal-green Cemetery.
Count D'Orsay has presented his statuette of
O'Connell to the committee of the Central Relief Society
in Dublin, with the moulds and necessary apparatus for
taking casts. He writes to say that he makes the com-
mittee a present of the copyi ight of the figure, and trans-
mits the models in the hope that
the sale of the casts
will realise a sum which may assist in relieving the dis-
tress of the poor.

IRELAND.
THE NEW LORD LIEUTENANT.
DUBLIN, MAY 25.—His Excellency the Earl of Claren-
don will be sworn in before the Lords Justices and Privy
Council, at three o'clock, p.m., to-morrow (Wednesday.)
In consequence of the very recent death of the Ea-t
of Besborough, there will be no public entry. On arriv-
in-, at Kingstown, his Excellency will proceed to the
Castle in his private carriage.
His Excellency intends, before the close of the week,
to return to London for a short time, in order to make
arrangements previous to his taking up his abode at the
Castle.
THE DEATH OF MR. O'CONNELL.

The intelligence of the death of Mr. O'Connell, re.
ceived this morning, produced a profound impression,
extending through all parties.
The Dublin Evening Post, published this afternoon,
thus refers to the event :—" Although his country must
for some time have been prepared for the announcement
we make this evening, yet the shock caused by the death
of Daniel O'Connell will be felt in every city, town, and
hamlet in Ireland—by whatever manner of men—by
whatever class of religionists—by whatever section of
politicians—these may be inhabited. All ranks, all
denominations of people feel, and all will acknowledge,
that a great man has fallen in Israel.' But it is an ac-
knowledgment, also, that will be echoed by England,
France, Spain, Italy, Germany—by the two Americas
—by the world.
" There has been no other man born in Ireland who
bas identified the story of his life with the annals of his
country. For forty years it may, with perfect truth, be
affirmed that he has made the history of Ireland.
" The death of O'Connell ! What a crowd of asso-
ciations do these three words suggest 1 To the Catholics
of Ireland—we care nothing about their miserable dis-
sensions—the words will be full of sorrow ; but they
will„,at the same tinae,,, awaken a feeling of that gra-
titude which slumbered, we are afraid, in" the bo
som of too many of them, and- kindle anew that ad
miration with which they were so long accustomed
to follow his career, and to hail his triumphs
triumphs, too, which, it must be remembered, were theirs
also. We do believe that amongst the Liberal Protes-
tants of Ireland the sentiment is similar. Nay, amongst
those Protestants who were hostile to the religion of the
man, and to the great cause of which he was the moving,
energetic, and indefatigable leader—amongst even these,
we believe, there is a feeling of regret that he is gone,
and an acknowledgment of his transcendent powers.
"At any rate, all men will acknowledge this truth,
that for nearly half a century he was the foremost man
in Ireland. That we have owed to him that indomitable
agitation which wrung the freedom of his country from
hostile statesmen, and from the reluctance, in some de-
gree, of a proud and bigotted Legislature. That eman-
cipation would arrive at last may be assumed. But, if
he had not arisen—if he had not acted as be did act, the
blessing might not have been conceded in the time of the
present generation.

Ant also " A Bill to enable the Great Northern Rail-
way Company to take a lease, or to purchase, amongst
other things, the Est Lincolnsbire Railway."
Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the

A meeting of the English shareholders in this rail-
way took place yesterday at the London Tavern, for the
purpose of considering the necessity of an immediate
dissolution of the company. D. Paul Esq., in the chair.
The SECRETARY having read the advertisement con-
vening the meeting,
Mr. WILKINSON addressed the meeting at some
length. He said that there was some analogy between
the case of the present company and that of the Bor-
deaux and Cette Railway Company, yet that in many
respects they were very different. In the latter case
there was no course open to them but to dissolve, but
there were far brighter and better prospects for their com-
pany. The object of the present meetingwas- to express
strongly and unanimously to the 'French Government
the conviction of the English shareholders, that unless
some important modification was made in the terms of
the contract it was impossible to carry it into
execution, and that if these were not made it
was necessary to abandon it at the risk of losing
the caution money, namely 400,0001., but that if the
French Government acceded to reasonable terms the
English - shareholders were prepared to carry out
their engagements to-the letter.—(Hear.) The Journal
de Chemins de Fer showed that there were 200,000 French
shareholders who were whollyfavourable to the part which
they were desirous of taking. A long discussion ensued,
which was very uninteresting ; resolutions were, how-
ever, agreed to, embodying Mr. Wilkinson's views, and
a committee was :appointed to carry them out—the ex-
pense to be borne by a levy on the shares of sixpence
per share.

S FATE OF THE WINDBOUND VESSELS OFF
MALAGA, &c.
Malaga, May 17th, 1847.
Sir,—ln allusion to my last of the 14th inst., I have
to inform you that the westerly wind still continues, and
the vessels windbound still lying at anchor on the coast.
The schooner Juno, of Hull, Hedgecock master, and the
brigantine Lucy, James White master, have bore up
for this port literally without provisions, to take them
to Gibraltar or Cadiz, and should an easterly wind spring
up, they are desirous of not stopping in the Straits, as
many will have to do, and perhaps lose their passage
through. There is a scarcity of provisions at Gibraltar
and Cadiz, as well as all about the south coast of Spain.
A Spanish revenue steamer came from Cadiz to tow a
Sardinian vessel, loaded with grain, through the Straits
for Cadiz, in consequence of the scarcity there, and to
avoid similar riots to those of Seville and Grenada. The
distress amongst the ships is very great, and at present
little hopes opesof an easterly wind springing up. The
master of the Juno considers the number of the vessels
anchored on this coast to be about 1,100, all wind-
bound.

THE OBSTRUCTION IN THREAD-
NEEDLE-STREET.
Yesterday, Mrs. Banke well known in the city as the
" Old Lady of Threadneedle-street," came before the
Lord Mayor to complain of an obstruction which had
been laid at her door by a person of the name of Peel.
The Court inquired whether she, in return, laid the
obstruction at Peel's door ? The old lady hoped that
the Court would not make fun of her. It was no joke.
The Lord Mayor asked what was the nature of the
obstruction complained of ? Mrs. Banke said that it
was a heap of rubbish which prevented her from getting
into her cellar. She had upwards of nine millions of
bullion in that cellar, of which she was unable to
get at a mite or mors,il ; whilst, owing to the badness
of the times, she was actually at her wits' end for a
awereign.

" With regard to the subsequent agitation for the
repeal of the legislative union, it is needless tollay that
we regretted, not, perhaps, so much the agitation, as its
ostensible object. That agitation has. been of-great
service to Ireland. To its success, and above all to the
great victory achieved over the Court of Queen's Bench
in Ireland and the late administration, we owe the
endowment of Maynooth, the Bequest Act, and the Irish
Colleges. We have no doubt that other good fruits will
follow."

Thel,rd Mayor desired to know how long the ob-
struction complained of had existed ? Mrs. Banke re-
plied, ever since 1844. The rub')ish had been shot
before her cellar-door in that year, and had remained
there ever since. Till lately, she had not ro much
minded the inconvenience, bee uie she had only to put
her hand in her pocket to answer all calls upon her.
But now her pocket was empty, and she could not get
in:o r

The lord Mayor wished to know the nature of the
rubbish, which, as she alleged, had been shot at her
cel'ar-door by P• el ? The old lady s-iid it was a parcel
of s'uff which was called 'link Chart r. The rubbish
had been carted at her door by Peel, at a time when he
was the Government head carter.

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
• A notice was posted at the door of Conciliation Hal],
this day, of which the following is a copy:—
" Alas! alas! O'Connell is no more. The Association
will meet at one o'clock to morrow, to issue an address to
the p•-ople of In land on this most awful and disastrous
occasion."

The Lord Mayor suggested that Mrs Banke should
apply to the present driver of the Government cart.
Mrs. Banke said that she had done so, but to no pur •
pose. The one Iva.: as bad us the other ; there was not
a pin to choose between them ; for what thi. one said,
'that one- stuek to.: She would be glad if his Lordship
'would order Peel to take his rubbish away.
The Lord Mayor regretted, that, though he was the
Sovereign of the City, he was not an absolute monarch ;
he had no power to remove an obstruction which was
sanctioned by Act of Parham. at

THE RAILWAY CATASTROPHE
NEAR CHESTER.

From an early hour the quay in front of Conciliation
Hall was densely crowded with persons of every rank
and sha•'e of opinion, whose anxiety to obtain informa-
tion on the subject was intense and impressive; and a--
soon as the announcement had been made that O'Connell
was no more, they all separated to make way for a suc-
cession of inquirers, who could scarcely be persuaded
that their fears had been realised.

It is stated that the remains of Mr O'Connell will be
conveyed to this city, and that a public funeral has been
determined upon.
The drawing up of the address, to be proposed to-
morrow, has been entrusted to Mr. O'Llea, a member
of the Irish bar.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE CORPORATION.
This being the usual day of meeting, the Town
Council assembled. The Lord Mayor presided.
On the motion of Mr. Cornelius M'Loughlin, seconded
by Wr. Thomas Kirwan, it was resolved, in consequence•
of the death of Mr. O'Connell, and as a mark of respect
to the memory of that great man, to whom the country
owed so much, that the corporation should adjourn for
three weeks.
