METHODIST NEw CONNEXION.—The minutes of
the fifty- first annual conference of this society, which
was held at Hanley, commencing on the 24th of May
'last, have just been published. From these we learn
that the connexion have in England 277 chapels, in
Ireland 15, and in Canada 35. In England there are
79 circuit preachers, 705 local preachers, 15,236 members,
219 Sabbath -schools, 6,422 Sabbath-school teachers,
and 35,266 scholars. In Ireland there are 12 mis-
sionaries, 12 local preachers, 852 members, and 641
Sabbath scholars. In Canada there are 35 missionaries,
59 local preachers, and 3,201 members. The yearly
expenses, for relieving distressed districts,
meeting
extraordinary expenses, and extending the connexion,
amounted to 1,6711. 15s. 9d. to meet which,
9111. 16s. were borrowed from the Beneficent Fund. The
Beneficent Fund amounted to 2,4731. 9s. 10-id. and, after
deducting large amounts lent to other funds, there
was still a balance in the hands of the treasurer of
1634 9s. 4id. The Mission Fund shows on the debtor
side a sum of 3,3241. 6s. 2d., and on the creditor side a
balance in hand of 81/. 2s. 70. The Chapel Fund
shows on the debtor side a sum of 1,7381.85. 104 d., with
a balance in the treasurer's hand of 2451. 13s. oid.
Besides this, upwards of 2,4001. have also been
locally raised for the reduction of chapel
debts, which, added to the 1,0441. granted by con-
ference, make a total of 3,444/. of actual relief for
the year. The 20,0001. subscribed for the Jubilee
Fund was directed to be distributed in the follow-
ing proportions :—Relief of distressed chapels 8,000/. ;
preparatory institution, 6,0001.; home mission, 2,000.;
foreign mission, 1,000. ; Canadian and Irish mission,
1,0001. ; aged and retired ministers, 2,0001. It was
resolved that the next conference should be held at
Liverpool on Whit-Sunday, 1848. The conference
avowed a determination to keep the expenditure of each
year within the income, as the only means of preserving
the independence and respectability of the connexion.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL JULY MEETING.-TLIURSDAY.

TES C.P.—The race for this prize not having been
run until fonr o'clock, we were obliged to confine our
report sent by the express train to a bare return. We
subjoin the latest betting, and a brief sketch of the
running.—
Betting-5 to 1 agst Pic Nic, 5 to 1 agst Camera
Oliseura, 6 to 1 agst Conjuror, 7 to 1 agst Quadruped,
10 to 1 agst Plaudit, 12 to 1 agst Inheritress 12 to 1
agst Conspiracy, and 15 to 1 agst Pantasa. Inglewood
jumped off at starting, but was immediately passed by
Pic Nic, who went on with the running at a good pace,
followed by Inglewood, the latter waited on by Pantasa,
Inheritress, Conspiracy, and the Conjuror, with several
others laying up. Pantasa was beaten at the bridge turn,
but the other members of the front rank maintained
their positions to the last turn. Here Inheritress and
Rowena became second and third, and so remained to
the distance where they passed Pic Nic, Rowena by
sufferance having the lead; Inheritress came at the half
distance, took the lead at the stand, and won cleverly by
a length; Rowena beating Pic Nic by half a length,
Chanticleer a bad fourth, and Plaudit fifth. Run in
3 min. 27 secs. _ _ _

The attendance was immense, and the only drawbacks
on the enjoyment of an excellent day's sport were the
excessive heat of the weather, and the fearful confusion
that, for wan;, of adequate police arrangements, pre-
vailed in the journey to and from the course; an amend-
ment in this respect has Jong beQn wanted.
