however, several e. ;u
proceedings sorneivhat uninteresting. The numerical
strength of the field for the Oaks was • insignificant, but
the. opposition which set in against Mineepie' served
sustain the curiosity with which the event was regarded;
The attendance of general company was comparatively
scenty, and the people who were present seemed die
pressed and wearied by the excitement which they had
experienced on the preceding night, while assisting at
the " peace celebrations."
Very few ladies were in the balcony of the Grand
Stand, aryl the show of carriages on the hill was meagre
and ineffective.
The business of the meeting was conducted with the
utmost regularity. It woulti be an injustice to-the railway
officials not to acknowledge the completeness of their
arrangements. On the Derby day, 14,600 people were
conveyed to Epsom, and, with the exception of one un-
fortunate pccurrence, for which the authorities were in
no way responsible, such facilities were afforded for con-
ducting the immense traffic, that very little confusion
was oec isioned.
The ceuriesy of the secretary, Mr. F. Slight, in afford-
ing the requisite accommodation was universally acknow-
ledged. Mr. Hawkin, the general manager, and
Mr. Wallace) the station master, also personally super-
intended the arrangements. The duties of the station in-
spector were onerous and irksome in the extreme, but
they were discharged by Mr. Castles with extraordinalry
promptitude and despatch. Superintendent Anseomb,
with a most efficient staff of assistants, did duty at the
Epsom Terminus.

THE LATE CAPTAIN COLE, p),APkiile

It is with the deepest regret that we announce the _ tee • ,
dp-
easeof Capt. Wm. John Cole, R.N., Kale who
xted this life, surrounded by his family, on Thursday,
15th inst. Few men were more generally beloved
;ban be was. To those who intimately knew him his
s will be great ; but to his family, to whpm be was
eveteelly attached, it will be irreparable. He served
country gallantly for :nany years, as the record of
career taken below, from " O'Byrne's History of
teed Officer;," will tell. Ae an officer,-a
laia,gietrate, a
eietian, a parent, and a gentleman, we may never see
I like again. He was exemplary in all the duties of
), and never was so happy as when planning borne-
afe, for the benefit of his poor parishioners ; but he

itietiiour. In him the Queen baer loet a devoted sub-
it,. the country a patriot, the Poos niart a true friend,
ead the service a bright example: .thefollowing sketch
of his life is taken from " O'Byrae's Naval Bio-
graphy :"
This officer entered the navy sdi of January, 1802, is
siecond-elass boy, on board the Buffalo stare ship, com-
manded by that excellent officer the late oaptain William
with whom, after
.visiting India, witnessing the
'first-settle'ment e4er formed in Vai Thetnell'a
Land, did
,performing much surveying duty, he returned to England
in December, 1805, on board the- Investigator, a very
small veesel, whose crew, on their arrival at Liverpool,
were rewarded with double pay for their exertions and
the hardships they had endured in haring effected a pas-
sage from Port Jackson to the above place without
touching at any intermediate port. The voyage had
occupied a period of five months, during eleven. weeks
of which the men hod been restricted to half a.pint of
water each a day. On becoming attached, as miclshlp-
man to the Meduni, 32, Captain the Hon. Duncontbe
Pleydell Bouverie, Mr. Cole next sailed for the Cape. of
Good sHoPe, and thence for South America, where he
served in the boats at the capture of Maldonado. While
yet on the same station, in the Diadem, 64, bearing the
broad pendant at first of Sir Home' Popham, and the
flag afterwards of Rear-Admiral Charles Stirling, we
