Very little was done on the Chester Cup, but the

War Eagle in advance of Blaze and Jonathan Wild.

few the betting was entirely destitute of interest. The
first favourite for the Derby, Surplice, rallied this
afternoon to 9 to 1, but not until 4001. or 5001. had been.

JENNY LlND.—Extract of a letter from Stock-
holm, Feb. 23 :—" We have the charming Jenny Lind
still amongst us ; she has passed the winter here with
her friends, and in the quiet enjoyment of private life,
varied only by a representation once a week for
the poor—a graceful act of charity towards her
native city, where she is idolized by all ranks,
and justly ; for brilliant as are her talents in
public, her gentle, modest, unaffected character
in private is, if possible, still more winning. You will
regret to hear that she firmly rejects all offers to visit
you in Paris, though M. Vete!, director of the Italian
Opera, offered her no less than 2,500 francs a night.
Our syren refused this magnificent offer, not, as some
of the French papers, with their usual self-satisfied
vanity, are pleased to say, that she fears the critical
ear of a Paris audience, though it is quite probable
she may not choose to encounter the impertinence
of a part of the Paris press, whose good opinion is to be
paid for, and which Madlle. Jenny Lind would never
condescend to purchase. Our Swedish syren is perfectly
content without Paris—quite satisfied with the brilliant
fame and fortune which she has acquired in England,
Germany, and more particularly in the metropolis of
modern Europe—London. She leaves us early in llfarch,
to join her Majesty's Theatre."

FATAL. COAL AcclDENT.—About four o'clock
yesterday morning, as James Cowie, labourer, Mill-hill,
Musselburgh, was preparing to enter the cage at the
bottom of one of the pits at Craighall, belonging to Sir
John Hope, M.P., in order to make his ascent, he missed
his footing, when he was driven against the wall with
great force by the cage, and killed on the spot—Scots-
