The weather was so floe, that weak as the card. ap-,

other faibionables present on the great day. The ra7,
cing turned out remarkably good, and it was made peeti-

nine out of ten believe, to the manner in which the race
WAS run. Its issue ha f the f ffcct of giving the Black

proving a fair trial of merit; such having been the case,

not start again.

FREE CHURCH of SCOTLAND MISSIONS

The anniversary meeting of this association took
place yesterday, in Exeter•hall ; the Right Hon. Fox
Maule, M.P., in the chair. On the platform were a
great number of clergymen of various denominations,
and a numerous deputation from Scotland.
The meeting was very numerously attended; and,
having been opened with prayer,
Tne Right Hon. CHAIRMAN said, it became his
duty to address a few woris to them with respect to
the object for which they were assembled that even-
ing. Although be was pleased to see so many
present, he did not lay " the flittering unction to
his soul" that they were met alone to pro-
mote the interests of the Free Church of
Scotland, because many of those whom he had
the honour to address bad assembled to
support the missionary labours of the association.
Although they had not been able to do all they
wished to do and all they were bound to do for the
head of the Church, still it was gratifying that their
labours had not been in vain. They had reared and
planted upwards of 700 churches and 830 preaching
stations ; and when he told them that, since 1843,
they had established upwards of 500 schools, he
was sure they would appreciate the labours of the
association. These facts he was convinced would be
a source of satisfaction to every one present, and
every friend of the Free Church of Scotland. They
had formerly seen, and now saw ministers of
Evangelical denominations of all kinds attending
their meetings, and he thanked them most cordially
for their attendance, but he regretted to observe the
absence of Dr. J. Bunting. That venerated man
was absent on account of increased years and
the attendant consequences of the decline of lite.
The association con'ributed to thl payment of 689
teachers, giving instruction to 73 571 children under
the au-pices of the Free Church of Scotland. They
had promoted religion and education in the Lowlands
and in the Highlands of Scotland at home, and they
bad done so without neglecting their duty to the
heathen; and they had extended as far as they could
the circulation of the Gospel in foreign lands, in the
colonies, and particularly in British India. If ever
there was a time when Christian Protestants should
stand together, the present was the time ; and it was
to him a source of satisfaction that so many meetings
bad been held to uphold the Protestant liberties of the
country.
The SECRETARY then read the report, from which
it appeared that the society bad for the year 1849-50
received for home missions 7,591/. 19s. 7d., for
foreign missions 12.3281. 1 ls. ld., and for other pur-
poses 32,6891. 7s. 3d., and the expenditure had been
49,214/ 195., being an increase of income over expen-
diture of about 3,340/.
Dr. Cunningham, Dr. Duff, and other friends of
the society having addressed the meeting, and the
report having been approved of, the meeting se-
parated.

THE SHEFFIELD INITJEDER.—The coroner's inquiry
in this case was resumed yesterday (Wednesday) at the Town-hall. The only additional evidence was that of a girl
named Pearson, residing next door to the house of Wilkin-
son, the murdered man. She went to bed about twelve
o'clock, and in a short time was awoke by a loud noise as of
a scuttle in Wilkinson's bedroom, and got up to the window
to listen. Some parson appeared to run down stairs, where
the noise was continued, and directly afterwards there was a
heavy fall. 59.-iie minutes after this she beard some person
run up stairs into the garret in Wilkioson's house. There
was no scream or noise as of persons quarrelling, knd, after
listening till the noise subsided. she went to bed again. In
twenty minutes afterwards she beard some person leave
ilkinsou's house, close the door after them, and go down
the yard. At half .past three o'clock in the afternoon the
jury, atter being locked up for an hour and a halt; returned
the following verdict :--•‘ We find a verdict of wilful murder
against *.t, illiam Battersby as principal and also against
Eliza Wilkinson as accessary. present, aiding, and assisting
in the murder of John Wilkinson. The jury, atter three
days' examination into the case, cannot separate without
expressing their great dissatisfaction at the conduct of one
of the magistrates (Mr.
Overend) in not allow rig the ac-
cused parties to be brought before them according to the
usual custom, which practice the jury sincerely believe Ins
well f r the ends of justice." The Coroner at once
tricAle out his warrant for the prisoners' committal to York
Castle.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY ON TAE BEDFORD ESTATE,
LAMB'S CONDUIT-STNEET.—Yesterday morning the extensive
premises of Messrs. Della Torre, of Lamb's Conduit-street,
was plundered of a cotsiderable quantity of valuable pro-
perty, including clocks, chronometers, time-pieces, barome-
ters, and other articles of value. It appears that the burglars
entered by the shop door by the usual appliances, and then
deliberately proceeded to select the various articles of value.
The gas was lighted, and those who resided in the upper part
of the house thought that the ordinary business of the es•
tablishment was being carried on. The i esult was, that pro-
perty to the extent of upwards of 1001. was successfully car-
ried off. It is a singtear fact that this street is afforded no
rot
