Sir ROBERT HERON on Wednesday nigh
gave notice of a motion for the lath of next month, ti
bring in a Bill ti prevent the necessity of a Member hold
ing an office under the Crown vacating his seat in Pali&
ment upon a change of office.

On the 9ch inst., the Hon. HENRY ED-
WARD Fox was married to Lady AUGUSTA MARY CO-
VENTRY, the only daughter of the Earl of COVENTRY.
Immediately after the ceremony, the bride and bride-
groom proceeded to Lucca, on their way to Turin, where
Mr. Fox is hastening to resume his functions as Svcre-
tary of Legation.

Mr. CALCRAFT, the Dublin manager, has
engaged TAGLIONI, POWER, Mr. and Mrs. WOOD,
SHERIDAN KNOWLES, and ELLEN TREE for his summer
season, and is in treaty with PAGANINI.

WALLACK has just retu►ned from New
Orleans to N,w York, where he will perform for a short
period previous to his return to England.
DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—The announce-
ment that her MAJESTY intended to witness the perform-
ance of La Sonnombula and Fidelio, at this theatre, last
night, attracted a very numerous and elegant audience. At
half past seven o'clock, her MAJESTY not having then
arrived, a portion of the audience began to manifest strong
symptoms of impatience. Mr. BUNN came forward in
consequence, and stated that he had just received a letter
from the Lord CHAMLEKLAIN, inlorming him that the'
QUEEN could not possibly arrive at the theatre before eight
o'clock ; he therefore wished to know the pleasure of the
audience, whether they wished that the performance should
proceed, or whether they would wait for half an hour
longer. One part of the audience called out lustily for the
Immediate performance of the opera, while another de,
otanded as loudly, and undoubtedly with more propriety
And gallantry, the postponement of the opera until the
QUEEN should arrive. This contention was in some
legree allayed by the performance of three overtures,
with which the gentlemen of the orchestra annoyed the

audience. At the end, however, of each overture, the
cries of " Go on ! go on !" and " No ! no ! wait for the
QUERN !" were redoubled; and finally angry feeling
began to be very strone'y exhibited ; but, .at a quarter
after 8, her illiazsTv made her appearance, and all pre-
ceding disappointment was forgotten. Her MaJzsTy was
received with thundering applause ; and the Duke of
GLOUCESTER, by whom she was accompanied, was also
greeted most kindly. The two operas were heard with
the utmost attention.

It was stated yesterday in the Admiralty
Court, that Sir JOHN NICHOLL is to hold the office (a
Judge of that Court in commendam with his present
offices. There is a precedent for this, we believe, in the
case of Sir LIONEL JENKINS, in the reign of CHARLES
the First or Second.

A Reformer, expressing his disappointment
at the result of the decision on the house and window
duty, said, with reference to the Reform Bill, the people
had not gained by it what they expected. A wag, who
was present, replied, " They have got all they asked ;
they have the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the
Bill."

We have never experienced in England, and
in the month of May, such hot weather as the present.
On Wednesday afternoon, FAHRENHEIT'S thermometer
stood at 93 in the sun, and 76 in the shade ; and on
Thursday morning, at seven o'clock, it was 73 in the
shade. The suddenness with which this high summer
heat has succeeded the harshness of wintry weather, makes
its sensible effect the greater.—Spectator.

On Monday a disturbance took place at
Walsall, arising out of a strike for wages, by a number of
Irish labourers. Three of the party were arrt-sted by the
police, upon which the remainder threatened to pull
down the prison unless they were released. They op-
posed themselves to, and overcame, the police ; upon
which a portion of the foot soldiers stationed in the place
were called our, and quickly quelled the disturbance.
Hereford Journal.
POOLE.—The influenza, which has been
raging here for several weeks past, has proved in a num-
ber of instances during the past fortnight, fatal to young
children ; indeed, we scarcely recollect a period in which
there has been so extensive a mortality among infants as
there has been lately in this place. The ravages of this
complaint have been so extensive and universal, that we
believe the inmates of almost every house in the town hat e
b. en attacked with symptoms of the disease. —SherbJrne
Journal.

SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.—On the same
day that KEAN the great tragedian died, a lady alio died
in this town, who had officiated as bridesmaid at his
wedding. KEAN was then in humble circumstances, and
the lady alluded to lent him money to pay the wedding
fees and other necessary expenses; which sum was ho-
nourably repaid some years after, when the hero of the
Tragic Muse attained the celebrity of being the greatest
actor of his day.— Chclt,nham Chronicle.
The late Lord ERSKINE commonly used
the postman's knock, for he said that he observed that ser-
vants more readily answered it. Lord ERSKINE, when
Lord Chancellor, seeing his friend ENEAS MORRISON be-
low the bar in the House of Lords sent one of his mes-
sengers with hie card to him. It had on it in pencilmark
the figure of a turtle, and there was written under it,
" Ready at half-past six to morrow—come."— Old Eng-
land.

ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL.—The annual ge-
neral meeting of the friends and supporters of the Royal
Naval School was held yesterday, at Willis's rooms, King-
street, St. James's, The meeting was attended by a
numerous body of naval officers. Sir ROBERT SrorFoßn
was called to the chair, and the usual preliminary business
having been disposed of, the report for the last year was
read, and having been ordered to be received, the officers
for the ensuing year were elected, and the meeting
adjourned to the 11th of June.
A NATURAL CURIOSITY.—(From a cor-
respomitnt.)—A person of the name of MUNTZ, residing
not far from Birmingham, was one morning sent to msr-
ket by his wife to purchase a goose, and he sent home a
fine live one. On his return Mrs. Marcrz inquired of him
if he bad remembered the giblets. "Dear me, I quite
forizot them," replied Mr. MUNTZ, and he actually wtnt
back and asked the market-woman for the giblets of the
live goose. Query—ls this Mr. Mutirz any relation of
the Chairman of the Political Union?

, APPLES AND PEARS.—The orchards in
this part of the country, according to numerous accounts
we have received, are in a mutt flourshing condition.
The bud is considered so fully set, that no danger need
now be apprehended from blight ; and so confident it the
anticipation of an abundant crop, that we understand the
price of cider has ben much reduced in Rome places.
Fears being of a more tender and delicate nature than
apples, are still liable to injury from frost, which hay
sometimes been found destructive to this fruit even in the
month of June. —Devon Advertiser.

A boy has been missing since Monday, and
is supposed to have been decoyed away from his father's
hou,e, No. 10, Fleet-row, Eyre-street-hill, St. Andrew,
Holborn. His name is JOHN DRAKE, aged nine years,
but not till of his age, thin face, otherwise stout, of dark
complexion, with dark hair and eyes, and is a sharp intel-
ligent boy ; he was dressed in light corderoy narrow
striped trousers, a dark green waistcoat, brown holland
pinafore, and a frill round his neck, but without hit or
cap ; his apparel was rather old, but clean.—Police
Gazette.

DEATH OF O'DONOGHUE OF THE GLENS.
—We regret to state that private letters have been re-
ceived in this town, bringing the melancholy intelligence
of the death, lately, at Florence, in Italy, of the O'Do-
noghue of the Glens. This lineal descendant of Irish
Princes and Lords of the Lakes, was a gentleman of
genuine worth and integrity, and of considerable landed
property. He has been cut off in the prime of life, by
fever, to the great affliction of his highly respectable con-
nexions and friends, leaving a young and amiable widow
(the daughter of JOHN O'CONNELL, Esq , and neice to
DANIEL O'CONNELL, Esq. M.P., for Dublin) to mourn
so severe a bereavement.— Tralee Paper.
AN IMMENSE VINEYARD.—VOR MEY-
ERFFKY, a landowner at Pestb, in Hungary, is completing
a vineyard in that vicinity, which will probably he the
largest ever known in Europe. Its superficial area is
nearly four hundred acres, and its produce, even in mode-
rately favoured seasons, will not be short of five and
twenty thousand sulms, or 375,000 English gallons. As
a receptacle for this produce, the grower is erecting a
cellar sufficiently spacious to receive double the quantity,
which is equal to nine months' consumption of Irish spirit
by English throats. AIEYERYFIC'S bother, too, is by no
means a small dealer in this branch of the liquor trade;
for he is on-the eve of starting a rival to the famous sire of
Heide berg ; scilicet, a tun made entirely of marble, and
capable of containing 63,000 gallons.
CIDER.—The orchards no sooner put forth
their blossoms than the most confident opinions are im •
mediately expressed, that an abundant supply of cider must
result. Nothing is more likely to prove fallacious than
such expectations, the trees every year exhibiting a pro
miss of ft nit, but which is most frequently frustrated by
frosts, from which we are never secure until June. In-
deed, severe mischief to the orchards has often ensued so
late in the year as the middle of that month. There is
now, however, a very fair chance of a good bearing year,
and the farmers are expecting to replenish their hogsheads
with the use ul beverage of their orchards, no less valuable
to theta than it is to their labourers engaged in the
scorching Moils of the harvest, or the accustomed drudgeries
of the farm.—Bath Chronicle.
ABOLITION OF SLAVERY.—The friends of
negro ernansipation at Bradford, have manifested their
wonted activity and zeal in the present momentous crisis.
The plan originally announced as the Government mea-
sure was rumoured in the town on Saturday evening, aid
was more completely divulged by the paper which arrived
on the following day. That plan was universally regarded
as impracticable and unjust, and it was resolved that
prompt and determined measures ought at once to be
taken in order to secure either its total rejection or its
entite modification. With these views, three gentlemen
were despatched to London on Monday, as delegates from
the town to jain the Rev. BENJAMIN GODWIN, who still
remained in London, to co-operate with the Anti-Slavery
Committee there, and to watch the progress of the measure.
Another of those brutal and savage combats,
betwixt two Irishmen residing in Pollokshaws, took place
at the Kennel at Merriiees, on Monday. The combatants
fought 24 rounds, in a tiger-like manner, the vanquishes
being led off the ground in a state of total blindness, and
exhibiting woful marks of his antagonist's superiority.—
% Considerable damage was done to the fences and fields in
the neighbourhood, and in order to put a stop to such
scenes of barbarity in future, the district fi-cal is taking
measures to have the principal actors brought to well
merited punishment. Another match, more congenial is
the feelings of Scotsmen, was decided on Friday, in a fiel"
at Cowglen, betwixt four of the first-rate quoit players in
Pollokshaws and neighbourhood. The match was 45
shots, for two sovereigns, and two players aside. The da)
being wet and stormy, and unfavourable for quoit playing,
the match was anything but good, the winners gainine
with great ease, being game to 13 shots.-- Glasgow Chron.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EPSOM RACES, Mar 23.

The panorama of the road on the Derby day bas beef,
so often described, that a repetition of its motley featunt,
would only be tiresome to our readers. It is sufficient to
state, that there was the usual admixture of mob and nob-

ility—the endless variety of equipages—and casualties
enough to supply the doctors and the knackers for weeks
to come. In short, the same unvarying features and ind.:-
dents that have been seen and detai!ed any Derby d y
these twenty years. Passing over, therefore, all these, we
get to the Downs, where nothing would have led us to
suppose that there was anything like distress in the coun-
try : on the contrary, all was noise and jollity, except at
one spot—the betting ring; and here, from the anxiety
depicted in every countenance, we certainly should not
have taken the meeting to be one of amusement.
The crowd was immense, insomuch, that notwithstand-
ing the excellence of the arrangements, and the powerful
body of police engaged! for that purpose, the Clerk of the
Course could scarcely succeed in clearing it, and preventing
accidents. So much greater, indeed, was the attendance
than what has been for several years, that one part of the
Downs, hitherto appropriated to pedestrians, was, in defi
ance of every attempt to resist it, taken possession of by
carriage company, increasing the difficulties in maintaining
regularity. In stating the company to have exceeded
former seasons, we are not only borne out by personal
observation, but by the evidence of those who, like our
selves, have the benefit of experience ; the unfounded
rumour that their Majesties anti their illustrious visiters
would be present, probably added to the ordinary attrac-
tions of the day. The Grand Stand was literally
crammed, and the receipts, we are happy to state, were
proportionately larger than formerly. The following is a
list of the fashionables

Duke and Duchess of Richtnotid ; Duke and Duchess of
Cleveland ; Duke of Grafton ; Duke of Rutland ; and
Duke of Portland.

The Races commenced with the Derby, which was not
run till three o'clock. The following are correct parti•
culars

old colts, Sat. llb.; and fillies, Set. 21b. Mite and a

The following also started, but were not placed by the

Judge:—

Duke of Grafton's br. c. Egyptus, by Centaur (J. Day)
Lord Verulam's c. Little Cassino, by Sultan (Conelly)

Mr. Houldsworth's b. c. Despot, by Sultan (Lye)

Mr. Ridsdale's b. c. Glaucus, by Partisan (Wheatley)

Mr. Chifney's br.c.Prince Llewellyn,by Waxy Pope ( H.Edwards)
Mr. Greville's c. The Whale, brother to Grampus (Scott)
Mr. T. Wood's ch. c. Titian, by Partisan (G. Edwards)

Mr. Bristow's ch. c. Uncle Toby, by Cain (Wakefield)
Mr. Coleman's b. c. Brother to Rough Robin (W. Coleman)

Mr. Cooper's br. c. by Catton—Twatty (Nat)
Mr. Cosby's br. c. The Bravo, by Reveller (S. Day)
Mr. Sowerby's ch. c. Catalonian, by Skiff (S. Mann)
Mr. Forth's b. c. Brother to Error, by Emilius (Norman)
Mr. Chifney's b. f. by Emilius—Shoveller (Chifney)
Mr. Goodwin's br. c. Pagan, by Proselyte (Macdonald)
Mr. Payne's c. by Wrangler— Whiteboy's dam (Spring)
After considerable fluctuations in the town and on the,
downs, the odds finally closed thus:--3 to 1 against
Glaucus, 8 to 1 agat. Little Cassino (taken), 8 to 1 agst.
Forester, 8 to 1 agst. The Whale, 10 to 1 agst. Sir Ro-
bert, 12 to 1 agst. Shoveller (taken), 18 to 1 agst.
Revenge, 25 to 1 agst. Twatty, 25 to 1 agst. Dangerous
(30 to 1 taken), 30 to 1 agst. Titian, 25 to 1 agat. Ca-
talonian, 30 to 1 apt. Bravo, 40 to 1 agat. Prince Lle-
wellyn, 40 to 1 agst. Shylock, 50 to 1 agst. Brother to
Error, 1,000 to 10 agst. Uncle Toby, and 1,000 to 10
agat. Connoisseur. As might have been expected from
so large a field, there were three or four false starts;
they then got off in fine style, and after running a few
yards Catalonian separated himself from the lot, and
obtained the lead at a great pace. Forester at the same
time broke from them, and took the second place; Twatty
laid third, Sir Robert, Uncle Toby, Connoisseur, NVbale,
and Revenge behind—Dangerous being in the ruck.
C Ltalonian kept his lead till round Tottenham Corner,
where tailing and shifting of places began—Glaucus,
Prince Llewellyn, Little Cassino, and Su) lack, were

the first to give up, then Pagan and Uncle Toby; here,
too, Dangerous showed in front, but it was not till

within a distance and a half of home that Catalonim was

headed by Dangerous and Connoisseur, who bad very
little trouble in shaking him off. Connoisseur made his
push at the Grand Stand, and was defeated with scarcely
any trouble by a length. Revenge came up in the last fifty
yards, and managed to get placed third ; Catalonian was
fturth, and the filth has to be divided between Sir Robert,
Brother to Error, Forrester, and Whale. The tailing
was terrible. It is worthy of remark that the three
placed are country horses, and that the Newmarket lot
turned out bad, without an exception. It is thought b.)
many, that if less use had been made of Catalonian in the
early part of the race, be would have been " there or
thereabouts." Besides the stakes, which amount a..
3,7251., Mr. Sadler wins a large sum in bets; the other
winners are those who bated round—the losers, those
who backed horses. Dangerous came into the market
finly a day or two before the races. It is singular that

Mr. S idler's horses have for many years been trained at
Aldsworth, and have uniformly been unsuccessful for
Derby and Oaks. Last year tbs.y were moved to Stock-
bridge, and, owing to the superiority of the training
ground, the first Derby horse trained there for him conies
out, and wins in a canter. What is more singular, Mr.
itawlinson's horses replace Mr. Sadler's at Aldswortb ;

and his favourite nag, Revenge, runs a very indifferent
third. It is allowed that the Derby of yesterday was one
of the fastest on record.

Sweepstakes of 5 soya. each. and 25 added, 3 yrs.
7st. 71b. ; and 4 yrs., 9st. Horses that had started
four times, and not woo, allowed 31b. Half a Mile.
