None of the leading favourites for the Chester Cup were in
request. and the betting against the'outsiders was not of a cha-
racter to call for a remark. TLe Metropolitan,Handicap, too,
obtained but a limited share of attention ; and, on the Derby,
which was not touched upon until late in the afternoon, the
only movement des6rving of mention, concerned the principal
favourite, who was backed for about 4001. at 8 to 1, the layers

TILE 43D REGIMENT.-The 431 Light Infantry,
Colonel James Forlong, K.H., were officially inspected yes-
terday morning on the Grand Parade, Portsmouth, by Lieut.-
General the Hon. Sir Hercules Pakenham, K C. 8., the
Lieutenant-Governor (their Colonel). The regiment, up-
wards of 800 strong, marched past in slow time, and at
quarter column distance, and performed other manoeuvres
with the most soldierly precision and efficiency, at which the
General was pleased to 'express his warmest satisfaction, say-
ing be hoped ere long the weather would admit his inspect-
ing them in field exercise on Soutbsea-common. This gal-
hint regiment returned from Halifax, Nova Scotia, in April
last, and arrived at Portsmouth from Dover on the 14th inst.
The 43d will shortly, it is expected, be presented with new
colours by the Hon. Lady Pakenham prior to the General
being relieved of this command. Their present colours were
presented at Gibraltar on the eve of embarkation for Por-
tugal, in January, 1827, by the lady Of General Dunn, then
Governor of Gibraltar.

REVENUE OF THE BISHOPRIC OF SALISBURY.—
Tuesday's Gazette contains •an Order in Council directing
that from and after the next avoidance of the see of Salis-
bury, the Bishop succeeding thereto, and his successors, shall
pay to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners the annual sum of
1,850/. By a recent valuation it appears that the revenue
of the see exceeds by this sum the amount fixed by the
Commissioners "as suitable to the circumstances thereof."
The income so allotted was 5,0001. a year.
DINNER TO SIR TATTON SVICES.—On Tuesday last
a grand dinner was given in the De Grey Rooms, to Sir
Tattoo Sykes, by the members of the York and Ainsty Hunt,
as a token of the high esteem in which that respected Ba-
ronet is held by them. Between 60 and 70 persons were
present. The chair was occupied by R. Gilbert, Esq. ; and
W. Reed, Esq., and Bateman, Esq., officiated as vice-
chairmen.— York paper.
THUNDER.. STORM AT MANCHESTER.—A thunder-
storm broke over Manchester on Tuesday night with extra.
ordinary violence, but it was happily of only 1' few minutes'
duration. The snow which had fallen last week had disap-
peared, and the atmosphere on Tuesday was as mild as could
be expected on a fine spring morning, up to about six r.m.,
when a little rain fell, accompanied by a cold wind. About
nine o'clock the thunder-storm burst; about three or four
vivid flashes of lightning being followed by loud peals of
thunder and a heavy fall of rain. The roaring of the wind
during this short-lived storm was almost equal' to the noise
of the tbunder itself. When the thunder and rain had
ceased, the wind continued to blow hard, and did not sub-
side till morning. Yesterday the weather was mild and calm
again.
The Empress of Russia, according to accounts
from St. Petersburgh, has derived so much benefit from her
sojourn at Palermo last winter, that her Majesty's health is
qui' • re -established.
CHESTER ELECTION.—The sheriff of the city of

Chester has fixed Saturday next for the election of a burgess
in the room of Lord Robert Grosvenor. The only candidate
at present in the field is Earl Grosvenor, son of the Marquis
of Westminster.
SALE OF A KENNEL OF GRETHOUNDS.—Wednesday,
at Aldridge's Repository, St. Martin's-lane, the sale of Mr.
Parkinson's well-known kennel of greyhounds took place by
auction, and, inotwithstanding the celebrity of some of the
dogs, as winners of cups, &c., yet, in consequence of the
coursing season being nearly closed, there was but little com-
petition for the dogs, and the best greyhounds were knocked
down to bidders as low as six guineas and a half.
DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL EDW. ELLICOTT.-

We have to announce the decease of the above flag-officer,
who expired on Sunday, at Alcombe, near Minehead, Somer-
set, in the 79th year of his age. The gallant deceased btt
tered the navy in 1781, at a comparative early age, and had
seen-considerable service during the war under Admirals J.
Muchbridge, Sir Richard Strachan, G. Palmer, F. Cole, Lord
Bridport, and the immortal Nelson. When lieutenant on
board the Revolutionnaire, he gallantly distinguished him-
self in the capture of L'Unite, and in the following year, un-
der the command of Lord Bridport, he assisted at the fa-
mous victory off Cape St. Vincent. At the critical period
of the mutiny on board the fleet the same year, the intrepi-
dity of his conduct was so much appreciated, that he received
the thanks of his commanding officer, as well as hum the
Admiralty. While on board the Perseus, he was severely
wounded in an engagement with the enemy. He served un-.
der Nelson in 1801, in that gallant hero's unsuccessful at-
tempts on the flotilla at Boulogne. In 1806 he was wrecked
off the coast of Heligoland, and was immediatel) afterwards
appointed to the command of the Hebe, and while in the
command of that vessel, assisted at the bombardment of Co-
penhagen in 1807. For his eminent services in the Baltic,
the King of Sweden decorated him with the order cf the
Knight of the Sword of Sweden. He was appointed lieute-
nant, 22d June, -1794; commander, 12th June, 1797; cap-
tain. 12th August, 1812 ; and by the recent retirement
accepted the rank of rear-admiral.

minutes and twenty-eight seconds.
COURSING MATCH FOR FIFTY Pomgns.--Wednea d y
the long-pending coursing match, between Mr. Ryall'sscele-
kated dog Albert and Dr. Guthrie's bitch Fly, was decided
with trap hares, on Wandsworth-common,in the best of
three- courses. In the first course Albert turned

twice, and ultimately picked her up. -In the second course
Albert did all the work, and was declared winner.

prietors of the Guarantee Society took place on Wednesday, at
