Mr. Saxon's The Black Doctor, by The Doctor, out of Betsy
Bird, is also a dangerous outsider. I believe he will be ridden
by young Oslyrrn e.Mr. E. R. Clarke's Glenhawk, by Lanercost,
out of Avis, by Camel, although a remarkably fine horse to
look at, 1 cannot have as the absolute winner of the
Derby. Dockeray, I understand, will have the mount.
That game little animal, Lord Exeter's Midas, by Beiram,
out of Merope, under the guidance of Norman, will be
much nearer the front than is generally imagined.
The only other horse requiring comment is a cast-off
of Lord Clifden's stable—Telescope, by Lanercost, out of
Gaze, the property of Mr. Neville; it will beat more than
beats it. To sum up, in the absence of the Prime Minister
and Co., the front rank at the finish will be composed of ITER-
NAMDEZ, TEDDINGTON, MARLBOROUGH BUCK, BONNIE DUN-
DEE. and HEARTBREAKER ; the two li's, probably, having the
best of the spin. 1 shall be more pointed in my decision
in the course of the week. Every day this week brief
notes will appear containing the latest accounts from all
quarters connected y, ith the Epsom events.
Diem.—lt is my opinion at the present moment that
PAYMENT or APHRODITE will win the Oaks for a cer-
tainty, the former for choice; and that Hesse Homburg and
Sister to Wanota will not be far behind.
I am, Sir, yours, &e.
May 12, 1851. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

lIAREVICII ELECTION COMMITTEE.
On Saturday the Committee continued their scrutiny,
the vote objected to being that of Mr. John Attwood, in
respect of an estate situate at Doverscourt, near• Har-
wich.
Mr. JAMES, Q.C., contended that the vote was a bad
vote, and ought not to have been polled. Mr. Attwood
bad been in possession of the house for upwards of three
years, had never slept in it, had kept it in an unfurnished
state, with only an old man to look after it. Mr. Att-
wood had visited Harwich only twice in the three years,
once during the period of his own election in 1847, when
ho was unseated by a Committee of the House of Com-
mons, and agein in March last, during Mr. Prinsep's
election, at neither of which periods did he sleep or stay
at his own residence, but in the first place at the Three
Cups Hotel, and in the second at the house of Mr. He-
'chine, one of_his partisans. Mr. Attwood's vote hal
been struck off as a bad vote in 1848, 1849, and 1850,
and yet in 1851 the anomaly of its being reinstated
on the register occurred. Mr. Attwood had an agent
at Harwich named Alfred Haste, a retired tailor or
draper, and to this individual the churchwardens, in
contravention of the Act of Parliament, entrusted
the preparation of the list of voters, and in pur-
suance of this privilege, he took the opportunity of
placing on the list every servant of Mr. Attwood,
whether the vote was good or bad, thus entailing great
expense on the objectors.
Mr. Pownall, solicitor of Harwich, gave evidence in
confirmation of these facts, together with Joseph Smith,
Mr. Attwood's gardener. Tho latter admitted that
prior to Mr. Prinsep's election ho had come to an ar-
rangement with Mr. Attwood, to rent the lodge and a
little bit of garden, and live there instead of in the

mansion.
Mr. JAMES that, horticulturally speaking, you
were transplanted by Mr. Attwood, in order to go up
with a vote.—(Laughter.) Witness—Yes I were.
The room was cleared, and on re-admission the Com-
mittee intimated their decision that the vote of Mr.
Attwood was a bad vote.
The vote of Edward Chapman, objected to on the
ground of paid agency, he having received election fees
as town clerk, and of Charles Sparrow, on the ground of
non-occupation of a house of insufficient value, were de-
cided by the Committee to be good votes.
Mr. Sergeant KINGLAAE, Q C., then, under 11 and
12 Vic., c. 98, applied to the Committee for costs as
against the other side, on the ground that the last two
objections were frivolous and unfounded.
The room was again cleared, and tho Committee de-
cided that•the objections taken were quite fair ones, and
then adjourned to eleven o'clock this day, two votes only
out of the six required to seat Mr. Crawford having tie
yet bten established.

CHILD MURDER IN ST. PANCRAS...4)n Saturday
Mr. H. M. Wakley held an inquest at the Elephant and
Castle, Camden-town, on a newly-born infant. William
Smith, labourer, found the body on Thursday night in the
parlour of No. 1, Tunbridge-street, a deserted house. It was
wrapped in two clean cloths and a piece of sacking. Blood
was issuing from the nose. It had not been long there, and
had no doubt been flung into the parlour through the win-
dow, which was smashed by the boys. Dr. Robinson, house-
surgeon to the workhouse, said that the body was that of a
full-grown female child, who was born alive, and lived some
time. There were two very severe wounds on the parietal
bone, and a deep indentation on the neck by a finger nail.
The blows on the head produced congestion of the brain, and
death. Verdict, " Wilful murder against, some person or
persons unknown."
DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—On Saturday in-
formation was received at the chief polioe;Stations in Lon-
don of a most daring highway robberY, attended with
brutal violence, having been committed •on the Hitchen
turnpike-road, about four miles from Bedford, on Wednes-
day last, on the person of Mr. Peacock, of Wilsham-
stead. The robbery was perpetrated, soon after nine
o'clock at night, by four ruffians, who, at a secluded part
of the road, rushed out and laid hold of the horse's
head. He attempted to urge the animal on; but they suc-
ceeded in turning the gig into a ditch alorgeide• the road,
where it turned over, and Sir. Peacock was thrown on to his
head on the ground, when they sprang upon him, and white
one of them placed his knee upon Mr. Peacock's neck,the
others rifled his pockets. The property stolen consist lof
7CI. in Bank bills, a pur=e containing 10
.sovereigns and 16
shillings, a gold Geneva watch and guard, and many valu-
, able articles.
SPIRITS.—According to a return obtained by Mr.
Moffatt the quantity of spirits exported to the British colo
nies in 1849 was 129,988 gallons, and in 1850 it was 123,774.
The quantity exported to foreign countries and colonies ing 840
was 182,599 gallons, and in

severely from rheumatism, and at times was unable to walk.

without deriving any benefit, and at last was effectually cured
by Holloway's Pills and Oihtmen_t, and he can now walk as
well as ever he could in his life.—sold by all Druggists, and at
Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL.—The annual meeting of
the friends of this institution W. 2.3 held on Satur ay
d at
Willis's Rooms, St. James's; Admiral Bowles, M.P., in the
chair. The report ot the council adverted to the steps which
had been taken, in consequence of the decline of the number
of pupils, to admit into the schools such children, other than
those at present eligible, as to the corporation might seem
fit. An Act for this purpose was now before Parliament, and
would shortly be passed through its various stages.
erect
In
framing this Act the council had applied for powers to
a chapel on the premises of the Royal Naval School, as the
want of some consecrated place of worship for the pupils; to
attend was deeply felt. This chapel, which would cost 2,0001,,
would be erected when the necessary funds were subscribed.
The committee had caused a new and more comtnodious
school-room to be erected, and the old echool-room was now
divided into deal-rooms. The estimate for this work was
2,000/., but the actual cost, including the fittings and bude
lights, was only 1,7711.35. The room was 100 feet by•4o
feet, and 30 feet high. The examination which took place
at Midsummer last showed the progress made in a very
favourable light, particularly in the classics, mathematics,
French, and navigation. The financial report stated, that
in consequence of unusual demands upon the funds during
the year, it had been found necessary to sell out 1,3001. from
the funded stock, which now amounted to 6,744/. 3s. 3d.
The income for the year amounted, including the sale of
stock, to 7,210/. ss. 10d., and the expenditure to 6,897/. 15s.
Id., leaving a balance available of 3121.105. 9d. This report
was agreed to, and after agreeing to several resolutions, the
meeting thanked the chairman and separated.
ARTISTS' BENEVOLENT FUND.--The anniversary
festival of the Artists' Benevolent Society took place on
Saturday evening at the Freemasons' Tavern, Benjamin
Bond Cabbell, Esq., M.P., in the chair. The attendance
was, as usual, numerous. After drinking the usual loyal
toasts, the chairman proceeded to give the toast of the
evening, " Prosperity to the Artists' Benevolent Society,"
which ho prefaced with a detail of the benefits that had
been conferred on the families of deceased artists, who,
hut for the aid afforded them by the fund, would have
had no resource beyond the acceptance of that cold bene-
volence the offspring; of legal enactment. A warm appeal
to the feelings of the supporters of the institution, which
at present supplied annuities to 46 widows and
26 or-
phans, followed, in which the chairman feelingly and
effectively urged his auditors to renewed exertions, as
well to extend as to sustain the efficacy of the institution,
so as to make it in every way equal to the accomplishment of
the object for which it was founded. A handsome sub-
scription, headed with. 100 guineas, the annual donation
of her Majesty, was then announced, and the proceedings
terminated.
Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Goro Browne, of the
21st Regiment, is appointed Governor of St. Helena. Colonel
Browne was greatly distinguished during the Arlghan cam-
paigns.
