THE NEWMARKET Flits r SPRING MEETING.

(Concluded from No. 36.)

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR_naving disposed of Monday's and Tuesday's
,goes yesterday, I will now proceed to a consideration of
Toe remainder of the sport at head quarters next week.
re are 7 subs, to the D. M. 50 Sors. Stakes, run on
redneaday, for which Firebolt and Naphtha will secure
,The
h twot first places. Another sweepstakes, of 50 soya.
c", over the D. M., having 4 subs., ought to be won
teretchet. A third sweepstakes of 50 eovs. each,
G will be contezted by Ginevra and one of the
oodwood stable, and ought to be won by the latter.
'l,iier the match, I should prefer Magnes to Convulsion, if
0„11' Oa Thursday, a sweepstakes of 100 sous. each
evens the game, which will lie between Ariosto and
ir,Nier the former, of course, for choice; Blauk Sea,
!,e runs, third. Then follows the One Thousand
ofuLtiees Stakes, much more often pregnant with the fate
thi,u69,lke than is the 2,000 Guineas of the Derby. For
pip" stake a good field will await the word of command
thes:ag•Marshal Hibbard, consisting, in all probability, of
ehrr'lllowing :—Aphrodite, Phlegm, Turtle, Gay Lass,
Rare (d), Prima Donna (d), The Squaw or Auspach,
I)„,,'elona or Glendale, Merry Peal (d), Trickstress,
"sY, Pontius (el), Pandora, Mexico and Iris. It does

rha Sir Joseph Hawley's. interests. Concerning the
tiihtlees of the fillies engaged in this stake I remain of
jr,-rilittele opinion as expressed in Note No. 3, cf the 23d
tai,,,arY last. I then remarked, that " Scott's lot eon-
th;'", addition to Confidence and Trickstress, Iris;
Itoelatter a very tidy daughter of Ithuriel, showing the
%it:from whence she sprang all over; but, by way of
Jose„,,lag up, I think they must all give way to Sir
to,otiu's flyer." lam pretty much of the same opinion
A h" then; I still think that the race will show Ins and
rodite in front, but, I also fancy that Lord Exeter's
pip Phlegm will be found there likewise. To this trio I
ti,iatcL the three foremost places; and should Hernandez

RAILWAY ARRANGEMENTS.—In consequence of a re-
gular Express train having been put on from Bishops
gate to Newmarket, starting at 8 A.M., and arriving be-
tween ten and eleven o'clock, the only special train next
week will be on Tuesday (the 2,000 Guineas day), leav-
ing at 7 A.M., and returning at 7 P.N.; the fares will be
very low. As the last ordinary train now leaves New-
market at four o'clock, a train will leave on Monday,
Wednesday, and Thursday, at 7.20 P M., in connexion
with the train due in London at ten o'clock. On Sunday
(to-morrow) there will be a train from Chesterford in
connexion with the 1.30 P.M. down train. The directors
have set a very good example by advertising their ar-
rangements not only in English, but in French and Ger-
man, and will no doubt succeed in inducing many fo-
reigners to visit the metropolis of the turf.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
A steady business has been done in several of the lead-
ing mines, but the aggregate of transactions is not large
in comparison with the desire shown to possess sound
mining securities, and evidenced by the offers made being
5 to 10 per cent. wide of the prices asked, and thus
showing increasing confidence and stability in our market.
In addition to transactions on the Mining Exchange, and
registered, the brokers and dealers are active out of
doors, both in dividend and speculative mines, but chiefly
the latter, which occupy a fdr share of attention, and
we rejoice to see amongst much that is to be reprehended
a considerable amount of enterprise coining forward,
which will be gradually introduced to the ordeal of the
new institution, whilst all inferior, or even doubtful pro-
jects will be rigidly excluded therefrom.
In the Metal Market, Copper finds a steady sale, at
the quotations.-Lead and Tin without alteration.-
Spoker continues depressed.
Tamar Consols Mines sold, on Tuesday, a parcel of
silver-lead ore to Messrs. Pontifex and Wood-96 tors,

inst., at 11/. 14s. per ton=ll7/. The lead course has
increased in size and value, and is very favourable for
sinking. The lode is valued at 351. per fm.
At Court Grange, tenders for 55 tons of lead ore will
be received till the 19th jest. (this day). The profits for
the two months' raising will, it is expected, be from 3501.
to 3751.

At Chyprase Consols on the 11th inst., N. F. Bassett,

CHELMSFORD AND MOULSHAM.—In 1 801 the po-
pulation of Chelmsford amounted to 3,755 ; in 1811, to
4,649 ; in 1821, to 4,994 ; in 1831, to 5,435 ; in 1811, to
6,784; in 1851, the present census, to 7,795; increase,
1,006. It may be remembered that when the census was
taken in 12141, nearly 500 labourers were located in this
town, and the house of correction and the old gaol con-
tained 48 prisoners, so that the actual increase may be said
to be about 1,500. The following is a summary for 1841 and
1851, showing the increase and decrease :-
1841. 1851. Increase. Decrease.
In Chelmsford Males, 1,884 1,883 ... 71
Females, 1,999 2,088 89 ...
Males. 1,358 1,668 310 ..
In Moulsham t Females, 1,297 1,897 600 ...
In Union house Males, 99 201 102 ...
- Females, 104 128 24 ...
There are 442 more houses in the parish than there were in
1811, but in that year the number uninhabited was only 22,
whereas we have now 134. Some curious statistics are de-
veloped by the details of these returns. The number of
inhabited houses is 1,552, which, compared with the popu-
lation, shows an average of nearly five inmates to each house.
The excess of females above males, under 16 years of age, is
1.25 th, whilst between the ages of 16 and 70 the excess is
1-sth. In Chelmsford there is a majority of 305 single per-
sons above those in a married state, the numbers being 1,123
and 1,118, but in Moulsham the married have the majority,
being 1,148, whilst the single muster only 1,031. The grand
total, however, shows that the Benedicts are in a minority,
the number of married persons being 2,266; single (not in-
cluding children), 2,454. The Chelmsford population (ex-
clusive of the union) is 36 2 more than the Moulsham, yet
there are 30 more married persons in the hamlet, and 26 more
children than in Chelmsford. The married couples in the
town and hamlet are 1,133 ; children under 16, 2,746 ; being
less than three children to each family. There are 154 more
widows than widowers in Chelmsford and Moulsham. It
further appears that there are natives of every county in
England and Wales, except Monmouth and Westmoreland,
resident in Chelmsford.— Chelmsford Paper.
THE CENSUS AT ABERDEEN.—Persons who abode
within the Parliamentary boundary, on the night of the 30th
of March, 1851 :—Males, 30,500; females, 39,500; total,
70,000. The numbers who abode within the same limits on
the Gth of June, 1841, were—males, 27,590 ; females, 35,67 2;
total, 63,262. Increase last ten years, 2,920 males, 3,828
females : making a total of 6,748. In 1841 it was estimated
that 2,000 absent seamen should be added to the total, and
the number cannot be less now; so that the population of
Aberdeen may be set down at 72,000. The great prepon-
derance of females—nearly 33 per cent.—is partly to be ac
counted for by this absence of seamen. The increase, 10Ih
per cent., is, considering the stagnation which occurred two
or three years ago in our manufactures, and which has not
been got over yet, nearly as much as could have been antici-
pated. Within the Parliamentary boundary, there are 5,500
separate houses, and upwards of 15,000 separate occupants.
It speaks well for the future prospects of Aberdeen, that
whereas there were only twenty-one houses building in 1841,
there are sixty-one building in 1851—not fewer than fifty-
one of them being in Old Machar, and of a superior cha-
racter. The religious and educational schedules have, we
believe, been very generally and very faithfully filled up.—
Aberdeen Herald.

ROYAL MUSIC HALL, ADELAIDE GALLERY.—The
concerts at this Hall continue nightly to attract crowded
audiences. The Apollonicon, since our last visit, has had
an addition of another stop (the Tuba Mirabilis), making it
the most wonderful piece of mechanism in the world. There
were several splendid pieces of music played on it, including
the overture to Masaniello, which were rendered in a mas-
terly style. The Collins Family are also engaged here, and
their various performances elicited the most rapturous ap-
plause. We would recommend that a larger number of
number of seats be placed in the body of the Hall, as those
who are not fortunate enough to arrive at the opening of
the doors are obliged to stand the whole of the evening.

APOTHECARIES' HALL.—Names of gentlemen who
passed their examination in the science and practice of
medicine, and received certificates to practice, on Thursday,
April 17 Edward Evans, Cardiff, Glamorgan ; Lewis
Newnham, Uckfield, Sussex; George May, Reading; James
Backhouse B ndloss, Manchester; Edward Higgon Evans,
Treffgame Hall, Haverfordwest ; Hugh Norris, South Pe-
therton ; William Johnson Rowland; John Hebden, Scar-
borough; Charles Morton Sidley, Leicester.
TRADE OF NOTTINGHAM.—The lace trade is in a
most unsatisfactory state, and most persons engaged in it
complain bitterly of its condition, as they think the portion
of the year wherein they commonly make the greatest re-
turn of sales is passing away with a more diminished inquiry
for their productions than has been experienced for a great
many years at this season. The principal exceptions to this
rule are a few considerable orders for Mechlin dresses (made
from double tier machines, worked half the regular guage),
principally for the South American markets. In hosiery we
have a &w* more orders for America, and a slightly improved
amount of sales for the home market, yet on the whole our
business is far from being in the healthy state that we could
desire to see it at this season, and we regret to state that
many of the workmen are entirely without employment, and
many others are stinted. The American orders hitherto re-
ceived fail very much short of what had been anticipated,
still there is time for the receipt and execution of them to
their usual extent. The sale of yarn is diminished, but former
prices are yet fully maintained.—Nottingham Journal.
TRADE OF GLASGOW.—The home trade in this city
has been decidedly dull of late. Manufacturers have gene-
rally large stocks of goods on hand, which in many cases
they are already beginning to " job" off. One manufacturer
this week sold the large quantity of 1,200 jaconets, for print-
ing, at 4s. 6d., which were recently worth 65., and cannot be
made for the former price at the present high value of the
raw material.—North British Mail.

MEETING OF BALLAST- HEAVERS.—On Tuesday
evening a public meeting of the ballast-heavers of the port
of London was held at Mr. M'Carthy's, Ship and Whale,
Wapping-wall, for the purpose of receiving the report of the
deputation appointed to wait upon the Right Hon. H. Labou-
chere, President of the Board of Trade. Mr. Thomas Flinn
was unanimously appointed to take the chair. The Chair-
man having, in a neat and effective speech, explained the
object of the meeting, called upon Mr. Henry Barthorp, the
secretary of the Ballast-heavers' Association, who observed
that their cause, within the last twelve months, had made
rapid progress. The day of their redemption was close at
hand—their distressed condition had been brought before the
House of Commons in the most prominent manner by Sir J.
Duke, in addition to which petitions had been presented to
the Hon. Corporation of the Trinity-house upon the subject,
deputations from which, and from their own body, had
waited upon the Right Hon, H. Labouchere, the result of
which was, that the Right Hon. Gentleman had most hu-
manely and distinctly pledged himself to bring in a Bill in
the present session of Parliament for the establishment of a
public office for the employment of ballast-heavers. After
the usual,vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting, which
was of the most orderly description, quietly dispersed.

- -
THE GODIVA PEOCESSION.—According to the prac-
tice of some time past, this_being the third year since the
last Godiva procession, the pageant will be revived at our
approaching great fair in June next. Subscriptions are now
in course of collection for the purpose; and as the undertaking
is warmly encouraged, we understand it is intended to carry
it into effect on a scale of splendour hitherto unequalled. The
Grand Exposition in the " Crystal Palace" will by that time
have brought a vast multitude of foreigners into this king-
dom, who have heard the famous story connected with our
local history. and we hear it has been determined to make
the procession of 185 t an event of more than ordinary in-
terest, and calculated to be second only in point of attraction
to the Great Exposition itself.—Coventry Herald.

Two men, named Mery and Lacolley, appeared
before the Tribunal of Correctional Police yesterday on
several charges of swindling. The prisoners had opened a
pretended commission-house, and obtained from different
wholesale houses large quantities of goods, which they im-
mediately sold for any price they could get. They were
both found guilty ; Mery was condemned to five years' im-
prisonment and 50f. fine, and Lacolley to the same fine and

ARRIVAL 02 ThE FRANKLIN.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 18.
The United States mail steam-ship Franklin, Cap-
tain J. A. Wootton, arrived off Cowes this afternoon,
at three o'clock, and after transferring the mails for
England to a small st?amer, proceeded on her voyage
to Havre.

The Franklin had on board 101 passengers, of
whom about 20 landed at Southampton. Her freight
list comprises 78 packages of,pecie, value 500,000 dolls.,
for Havre ; also 300 bales of cotton, and 100 packages
of sundries.

The Franklin has encountered heavy westerly wea-
ther during the entire passage. On the 16th inst., in
lat. 49 50, long. 14 30, she saw the French brig
Francois, from Gate, bound to Havre, showing signals
of distress. On communicating with her, she found
that she was short of bread, and an ample supply, was
immediately afforded by the steamer.
The American mail steam-ship Baltic arrived at
New York on the 3d, after a passage of twelve days
eight hours.

By the Franklin we have accounts from New York
to the sth inst.

The negro excitement still continued at Boston,
in conscqu,,nee of the continued arrest of fugitive
slaves. On the 4th inst. Mr. Fletcher Webster, soil
of the Hon. Daniel 'Webster, was arrested and im-
prisoned at Boston. The following telegraphic dis-
patch in the New York herald explains the parti-
culars :

"BOSTON, APRIL 4.
" At a late hour last night a fugitive slave, named
Thomas Sims, was arrested while passing Endicot-street,
by a Deputy United States Marshal, assisted by mem-
bers of the police and wa'ch. He at first supposed that
ho was arrested fur drunkenness, but as he reached the
Court-house the true nature of the case was made
known, when the cry of Kidnapper!' was raised, and
the prisoner drew a knife and stabbed officer Buckman
in the groin. He was, however, safely lodged in the
Court-house. At about ten o'clock an Abolition
lawyer, named Samuel E. Sewell, met Deputy-Marshal
Riley in the street, and was so violent and abusive,
that he was seat to the watchhouse, where he remained
for an hour. Late in the night, Mr. Fletcher Webster
found a watchman ringing the bell of Stone's chapel, and
supposing an alarm of fire had been raised by the
Abolitionists in order to collect a mob, he ordered the
watchman to desist. Mr. Webster attempted to drag
the man from the rope, and afterwards assaulted him.
The officer called for assistance, and Mr. Webster was
taken to the watchhouse and thence to the gaol.
" This morning the Court-house is completely sur-
rounded by Marshal Tukey and his police force, who
had drawn a chain completely about it. There is a large
crowd about the place, tew of whom are blacks. Sims
came to this city about the 7th of March last. He is 23
years of age, and has a wife and several children in
Savannah.

" The examination of the fugitive slave was com-
menced this forenoon, at nine o'clock, before Commis-
sioner G. T. Curtis. Seth J. Thomas appeared for the
claimant; the Hon. Robert Rantoul, Charles G. Luring,
and S. E. Sewell, for the fugitive.
" The complaint was then read, alleging that Sims
escaped from James Potter, rice planter, Chatham
county, Georgia, oft the 22d of February last. Several
depositions of persons in Savannah were read, to the
effect that they knew Sims as the slave of James Potter.
Some deposed that Sims had confessed that he was the
slave of Potter, and also that his mother had acknow-
ledged that both she and her son were the slaves of
Potter.

" Edward Burnett testified that he lived in Savannah,
and that he knew Thomas Sims, the prisoner at the bar.
Sims had worked with him ac bricklaying. Had told
him that he was the slave of Potter. Also heard his
mother say that she and her son were the slaves of
Potter.

" John E. Bacon, the agent of the owner, testified
that he had known Thomas Sims well for a long period
of years. He had resided is Savannah, and was the
slave of James Potter. Had lived within 60 yards of
his mother, and the prisoner passed witness's house
twice a day going to his work. Was positive that Sims
was the man. Had seen the mother of Sims pay over
his wages to Potter in Sims' presence.
" There was one other witness, but his testimony was
not put it.

"Defendant's counsel prayed for delay until Tuesday,
but the Commissioner only granted a postponement for
24 hours. The counsel fir the defenco stated that they
believed Sims to be a free man, even under the laws of
Georgia.

" The case was then adjourned until to-morrow, and
,he Court- house cleared.

" APRIL 4, 1 30 P.M.
" The following notice has just been issued from the
Commonwealth office, and posted about the streets:—
" ` PUBLIC MEETING—KIDNAPPERS IN BOSTON.
" Men of Boston ! Ono of your fellow-citizens was
last night seized by slave-hunters. He is in most immi-
nent deadly peril. The citizens of Boston and its
neighbourhood are earnestly invited to assemble, without
arms, in front of the State-house, at half past two o'clock
P.M., to consult for the public good.'
" The Court-house is still surrounded with chains, and
guarded by a large body of police-officers.
" The fugitive is in a room in the third story, which
is secured by six two-inch bolts upon the inside.
" Several military companies are at their armories, in
readiness for action in case of any disturbance or at-
tempt at rescue ; indeed, every precaution has been
taken to prevent a second Shadrach affair.
" The city remains in an excited state. The square
around the Court-house has been cleared once or twice
of the crowd collected by detachments of the city watch,
and one or two who refused to stir were taken into
custoiy. The square, however, is again half full
Sixty resolute men guard the Court-house upon the in-
side, and others are ready at the different watch-homes
upon the least alarm.

No hi4ok.; are to be seen abroad, but knots of white
men are collected all over the city discussing the
matter. The great majority are in favour of obedience
to the law.
" The agent of the owner refuses to sell the slave; his
orders are to take him out of Massachusetts, to test the
law."
The Herald also publishes the following :
" GOING TO THE WORLD'S FAIR.—A. portion of the
Irish Directory of this city—at least a slievegammon
slice of it—has engaged state-rooms in one of the Ocean
steamers which is to sail for England in the latter part
of April. Queen Victoria had better look out for her
Crown, if not for her salary."
The subjoined extracts convey all the items of in-
terest received by the present steamer:—
" The mild weather of spring has broken upon New
York, and the public promenades abound with fashion-
able pecb,strians anxious to enjoy the genial atmos-
phere. The spring trade has set in very fairly, and, as
some of the more northern cities have been deserted by
southern merchants, the present seasan will be very
beneficial to Now York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore,
the merchants of these cities holding the principal cor-
respondence with southern houses.
" The Bill for the completion of tho enlargement of
the canals of this state was discussed at great length,
and finally carried, in the Assembly yesterday. The
friends of the measure were determined, according to all
appearances, to force it through, although its unconsti-
tutionality was clear. Its advocates evidently resorted
to the higher law' for the accomplishment of their
purpose.
" The Senate of this state yesterday passed the Bill
for the bridging of Lake Champlain at House's Point, a
subject which has been debated at great length for some
four years.
" Postal arrangements of a reciprocal character have
at length been perfected between the United States and
the Canadas, the postage to be 10 cents for half-ounce
letters under 3,000 miles, and 15 cents for any distance
over that. Such an arrangement as this has long been
wanted, and we have no doubt it will be attended with
good effects. All that is wanted now to make Canada
virtually a portion of the United States is the passage of
the reciprocity Tariff Bill. When that measure is passed
we shall bo as intimately connected with Canada as
would be desired.

" We learn by telegraph that American vessels aro
daily passing through the Welland Canal, thus proving
that, up to this time, at all events, that branch of naviga-
tion has not been closed against us. It would be folly
in the Canadians to shut out our commerce, for, in this
age of the world, when free trade is the ruling principle,
it would be suicidal in them to do so. Such a policy they
cannot but know would injure them more than it would
us, and postpone, indefinitely, the Reciprocity Act which
they are so anxious of entering into, and which, pro-
bably, will be passed by the next Congress. The history
of this country shows that it cannot be driven into any
measure."
