TATTERSALUS—YEsTErtnAy.

The Chester Races had a slight effect on the attendance,
which comprised nearly all the principal subscribers to the
room. The Derby betting was tolerably bri-k. and underwent.
one or two altrra'ions that could scarcely have been antici-
pated from some of the Newmarket quotations. Ralph and
Coronation stood in the same relative positions as at the close
of last week, but were in favour at improved prices. Prince
Caradoc was also in demand at less odds, and had rather the
call of Van Amburgh, agait,st whom I 1 to 1 was betted by two
or three parties. The grand feature, however, of the betting
was the retirement of Ros the c., which was so rapid that having
opened at 12, be closet at •l 3 to 1 ! Having seen him rally so
often we will not say that he is quite " gone," but assuredly
his aspect at present is vet y unpromising to his ba,:kers at 9
and 10 to 1. We quote Ma• shat Souk's price with some he4i-
tation. 13,14, and 15 to I were offered early in the afternoon, hilt
after the heavy bets between him and Scott's two outriders he
was backed at 12 to 1 in good quarters ; subsequently 13, 14, and
15 to 1 were again volunteered, and at the latter figure we
have felt it our duty to fix his price; but it is proper to state
that such odds were not offered currently. Galaor, Sir Han:,
Joachim, Belgrade, Cameleon, Alustapha, and Mongolian had
the r supporters, but The Knight of the Whistle and Ile
Duke of Wellington were on the decline. The field for this
Stake has been shortened by the death of Prussian and En-
sign, the former died at Newmarket, immediately after pulling
up from a trial, ar.d the other at Mitchelgrove, of inflammation
of the lungs.
The Oaks betting was flat and altogether without interest.

COMMERCIAL STEAM-PACKET COMPANY.
—Yesterday a special meeting of the Commercial Steam-
packet Company was held at the London Tavern, Charles
Bleaden, Esq., in the chair. We have never seen a larger
assemblage of shareholders present upon a similar occasion, or
greater unanimity than prevailed at the meeting. To men-
tion the particulars is utterly unnecessary ; suffice it to say
that the greatest harmony prevailed amongst the shareholders,
and that it was finally determined, for insuring the complete'
success of the Company, that the shares should be 71. 10s.,
instead of 51. already paid. The Company's vessels are in the
highest order of equipment, and there can be no doubt riiirinz
the present season a large sum of money will be realised by
the proprietor:.
The Royalists are distributing sccrelly, but pro-
fusely, the copy of a letter addressed by the Duke de .Bour-
deans to a Member of the Chamber of Peers, who has distin-
guished himselt much recently by his zeal for this young
Prince. There is moiling in the letter iliCh could render
a prosecution even probable, much lees successful; for it ab-
staint from all allusions to the reigning dynasty, and is full of
clap-trap sentiments, suited to to n
alapartties,
ame and one less than
the Republicans ; for there is jst he s disgraceful game
going on here between the Legitimists and the Republicans,
as between your Tories and Chartists. —Letterfrom Paris.

gentleman, stumbled, and when her companion, to prevent
