TO THE SECIIETAR I OF THE BRADFORD
BEFORM ASSOCIATION.
(xvxax MONDAY AND WEDMISDAY.)
Sir,—On Monday the 2nd, significant tokens appeared
,'f a desire to esesipe from the promised Select Commit-
tee en the Income Tax; the whole pointing at the
probability there alwa)s is, that an attempt on the part
of a few individuals to have things all their own way,
will end in their having 'something very different from
what they intended.
Au opposition was raised to the Minister's *three.
years' Income Tax, on the ground that it should only be
granted tor one year and the interval should be ex-
pended in inquiring what could be dune to make the
tnx what the actors denominated "fair." It was
dUubtinl whether they knew what they meant
by the term ; or at all events whether they could
explain the causes or grounds on which the justice of the
denomination was tiependent.. But they were full of the
persuasion they could do something ; and so they threw
over the Minister's three years' Income Tax, by a ma-
jority of fourteen. And now there is considerable ap-
pearance that their turn is come to be thrown over
themselves. The Government does not vote against the
appointment of the Committee, but it is plain that no.
body is zealous tor it but the mover. A month has keen
quietly lost, since tbe Committee was first talked of ;
and the. chance is consequently small, that much will
be done before the time comes round for debating the
subject in the 'Luse. The fact is, the Government had
rather sr ait debated there, than in a Committee. Their
reason
ptheyably being, b
cannot
tttt
prevent theythe k
insertioneo i that
v in
of
Ea Com-
mittee
active
majority • p 1 their enemies, whereas' in the House they
will take tat it chance.

On the bane evening the second clause of tho Reck=
sist.tical Titles Bill made such advance as consisted iu ne-
gativing a couple of amendments by majorities of six or
seven to one; which is called .reporting progress, and the
Committee sits again on Friday. The proposals fur in-
sertions going beyond the measure of the Government,
were withdrawn.
On Tuesday there Was no House. The zeslior volun-
teer rev-Woos of the Constitution, is considerably damped
by the promise of the Government.
I amp Sir, }tours very sincerely,

'SMITHFIELD MARKET REMOVAL
BILL.
Tho Co:nmittee met yestorday marniug at the usual
how.

The case for the City Corpcira!ion, in opposition to
the r. inoval of the market, was continued, and, with the
view (0- beset explaining the inepiovenistits priya.ed to
be. made in the exitiog market, a model on a l.rge
was exhibited to the Cottnenittic. The Inerleet, when
itt:i.;,ed, would
.Contain 6,0.57 bullocks- and.4o,oVo sheep,
with ample space for. each-anirnal. The dead-mear. mar-
-ket was to front the cattle enclosures, and several
tains and jets d"cau WtO a to supoly the area with water.
&circular' huilding was to.bo constructedas is bath and
w3shttense, and the marke't itself would be encircled
'with a terrac.., built on arches., with-tacentral inclined
plane loading down to the ciittle pens. Near the dead-
mt-at market, were to be abfftoirs, and at either corner of 1
the marliet wire designedealf and pig-markets.
J. D•iimort, a butcher rta•iding at Camberwell,
stated that he purchased and huh d ebnut 3,000 sheep
and 200 beasts every year. lie did not find that be sus •
tamed ary it ,e 3 from injury to the animals in S''aithfielcl,
and he conceived that in general they were not damaged
in the market. If the beasts were killed at the northern
extremity of the town and then carted home, the meet ;
wettle be disfigured, and would not keep so long. A
Liss would be eustaieed by the butcher from the more
rapid decay of his meat con,ceptrnt upon its removal
from the Bing:liter-house before it was cooled and set.
The et,.*:ablishmtit of a triszket in the north would be of
contideratdo injury to butetters in a small way ef busi-
ness. It the accommodation in Smithfield were increased
he should be very gl:d of it; bat he did not think
tha; any bitter
„tile.. for. . a cattle-market could be.
telectecl.

Mr, Lawrence, a surgeon, was then examined as to the
off:naive nature if tie - hone-hoiling places, slaughter-
heuses, aid kuackers' yeads near Smithfield.—These oc-
cupations must to a cersein extent influence the health of
a locality.
Mr. 'Henry King, a butcher of Brighton, in a large
way ot businese, also deposed that the beasts sustained
much sewer injury from travelling by reikway than
from ariviug. The quality of the London meat was
very good, it looked brighter than country meat. Did
not believe that a better site could be found for a cattle
market than at Smithfield.
Mr. Cooper, a butcher of Great Portman-street, and
Hr. Thomas Sin:mends, butcher of Brompton, both
stated that the present central site of the market was
more convenient to the trade than tiny site at the
I northern end ni the town. Beasts were more damaged
by railway travelling than by driving.
Mr. S. Phipps, a butcher in- Belgrave-street, near
Beigrave•square, stated that he- was in a large way of
business, and purchased his beasts at Smithfield. His
shiughter•hethe was in Totbill-street, -Westminster.
He should greatly prefer Smithfield to any market at
the northern extremity of the town. He did not find
that the cattle received any damage of a material nature
in Smithfield. Ile had received beasts by railway, and
had found that they sustained considerable damage. The
proposed northern market would injure the smaller class
of butchers.
Mr. Adams corroborated this testimony.
Mr. Wakefield, of Maidstone, stated that he always
made his beasts walk to market, as they were very much
damaged by railway travelling. Any removal of the
market to the north of the metropolis would increase
be price of meat, and interfere with the trade ge-
nerally.
Mr. Bassett, of Woolwich, stated he killed 25 beasts
and 100 sheep a week. He preferred driving his beasts
to sending them by railway. The removal of the market
from its present sire to the north of London would
make a difference of 150/. yearly in his expenses. Wit-
ness at present paid is. per bead to the drovers for
driving his cattle from Smithfield to Woolwich; but if
the market were removed to the north they would
charge an extra 61—not so much because of the differ-
ence in the distance, as from the necessity of driving the
cattle quite through the City, and the increased re-
sponsibility consequent upon it.
Sir C. Knightiey stated that he had been in the
habit for many years of sending beasts for sale in
Smithfield. Although he resided in Northamptonshire,
and consequently his cattle arrived at the northern end
of the metropolis, he did not think that a market there
would-be beneficial. Ile preferred Smithfield from its
central position, and should of course send there, as the
greatest numbsr of hue ers were found there. Almost
the whole of his property was derived from grazing, and
some of his tenants were vary large graziers. He never
heard any of them express a wish to have Smithfield
market removed.
Mr. Bunning stated that he was architect to the cor-
poration of London, who were in the habit of consulting
him on all their improvements and general works.
Mr. Sergeant WRANcaall stopped tho witness, and
asked him whether any plan to which he was about to
speak would require an Act of Parliament to carry it
into effect ?
The witness said that the plan he proposed would cer-
tainly require an Act.
Mr. &rgeaes WRANGHASI objected to the testimony,
of the witness. It schemes, which of themselves re-
quired separate Acts, were to be made the subject of in-
quiry before a Committee engaged in a totally different
Investigation, there was nu saying where the evidence
would end.
Mr. TALBOT said, that no one knew better than Ser-
geant Wranghtani that such an objection was at variance
with the general practice before the Committees of the
House ot Commons. The
.city of London appeared
before the Cointnittee as hindowners, holdingivreperty
upon which it had pleased former Sovereigns to eenfer
certain privileges. It was proposed by this measure to
shut up their property, to suspend their privileges, and
certainly to entail serious loss upon them by the viola-
tion of their ancient rights and charters. The ground
on which this was sought to be done was the inconve-
nience and risk attendant upon the existence of a large
cattle market in the centre of a crowded city, and when
he attempted to show that the evils complained of
would be remedied by the plan proposed by the corpo-
ration, and the necessity for the abolition of the market
lemovedebe was met by a technical objection, by which
his right of evidence was denied. Ile contended that'
the scheme proposed by the corporation was far better
than the violent and cruse measure proposed by his
Learned Friend, and ho thought that their scheme,
therefore, had a perfect right to be entertained by the
committee. The practice to he observed in this particu-
lar Case ought to be the same as that pursued in any other
Committee on a private Bill; and it could not bo con-
tended that in another Committee on a railway Bill such
an objection would be tenable.
Mr. Sergeant WRANCIRAM stated, that the argument
of Mr. Talbot, that the City corporation were land-
owners, was one to which he did not subscribe. It would
,be seen, when the charters were referred to, whether the
corporation of the city of London were the owners of
the land in Smithfield. He (Mr. Sergeant Wrangham)
believed that the corporation appeared as the owners of
a certain franchise—as the proprietors of certain tolls.
At all events, he would leave that part of the case, and
urge upon the Committee the fact that the proposition
which was illustrated by the model before them, had
been made to the House of Commons this session, and
rejected by a very large majority. His Learned Friend
Would surely not contend that it was the practice of Com-
mittees to allow an opposing scheme to any project to be
brought before them after it had been rejected by the
House of Commons.
air. TALBOT bad only attempted to uphold a proposi-
tion which bore upon the question before the Committee.
viz., the propriety or necessity of removing the market
from its present site. If he could show generally that
such a plan could be adopted as would remove the evils
complained of withou taking away the market he appre-
hended that a reference to that plan would not bo objec-
tionable. •
Mr. Sergeant WRANGITAN did not object to the plan
being referred to generally, but his Learned Friend had
,no right to go into details on a scheme already decided
by the House.
The room was then cleared. Shortly after the exclu-
sion of strangers, the doors were re-opened and the
Committee was declared 'adjourned.
It Was understood that this adjournment without
coming to a decision on the point arose from the fact
that the Chairman had retired to consult thej Speaker,
but found that there was no Rouse." The point was,
therefore, reserved. A question arose as to the power
of the Committee to adjourn, under the circumstances,
but the, Chairman declared that, in his opinion, the ad-
journment was perfectly in accordance with the rules of
the House.

THE BALLOON ASCENT FROM
BATTY'S HIPPODROME.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN
Sin,—W ill you allow me to make a few remarks re-
leetiug my ascent on the 2i inst., from Mr. Butfs
Hippodrome. The day was exceedingly fine and calm—
indeed, the weather was so still that we were almost
stationary For nearly one hour. I was accompanied by
two gentlemen and Mr. Grey, architect and surveyor,
of Camden Town, and Mr. Wittaker, the architect and
builder of Mr. Batty's Hippodrome. After remaining
up one hour and three-quarters we safely descended close
to the New. cross Railway station, and were most kindly
assisted by Mr. Hawkins and other parties connected
with the station. My supply of gas was excellent from
the London compiny.—l em, Sir, your., &c,

SPORTING NOTES.

No. LXII.
ASCOT lIRATE[ MEETING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Snit,—No:withstandiDg the hardress a the course, re-
spectable fields ran for nearly every event yesterday;
in one or two instances prodneres; very close end exciting
races. - The Moor essayed, and, what in more, actually
accomplished the task or giving 4st 13.144 to the Sphynx,
Over the New Mile, for the Trial Stakes, winning
very cleverly by a 'deck. • Oee of •my Derby fancies,
The Prime Minister, bandaged up to the knees, was,
after a- fine race, beaten half a length by Little Jack
for second place for the Gold Vase, the latter suc-
climbing by half a neck to Cariboo. King Charming,
the Monica Colt, and Windischgratz, were beaten at the
distance. Bieba threw her jockey, and afterwards
killed an unfortunate coachman who happened to
be in her way. The 50 sow. Stakes were won very
easily by Merry Peal, beating Aaron Smith and
Pkilessen; the last-named never likely to appear again in
her Goodwood form of last sear. Sir Joseph Hawlev's
success this year is unparalleled; the Ascot Stak'es,
won in a common canter by Vatican, 5 yrs, 7st 71h, has
now to be added to his other triumphs. The field was '
beaten into fits; Herbert u had second, aed Pitslord
wretched third, with the Ballet Girl fourth, were all
that had any chance whatever with the wiener. My
selection from the Goodwood stable for the Two
Years Old Triennial—the daughter of Venison aid
Soldier's Daughter, Red Hind, won very (sully
from Songstress (coughing) and Mculton Lass.
Four others ran, viz:—llex (fourth), Free-trader
(fifth), c by Theon—Rebecca (sixth), and Denique
(last); these, however, were so wide apart that the judge
placed them all. The Three Years-old Trieueial was
won without an effort by Miserrims, beating ersaus (se-
cond), the Cowl filly (third), Constellation, Midas, Ans.
pacis, Fochabers, end Deceitful. This running will make
her a great favourite for the Northumberland Plate and
St. Leger; it also speaks volumes in favour of Lord Stan-
ley's Canezott the second, Iris. The Ascot Derby was,
without exception, the best race of the day; un-
like its namesake of Epsom, it did not fall into
the clutches of Sir J. Hawley, whose ban was this time,
to the delight of the fielders, set aside in favour of the
fiery waters of Phlegethon. The Ban, tooled by Mar-
son, cut out the work to the last hundred yards, when
Marlow on Phlegethon came Suddenly alongside, and
contested every remaining inch of the ground, winning
after a desperate struggle by a head! 6,7, and in some
instances 8 to 1. was hatted on The Ban!, The partizans
of the cherry eoloer dropped a goodly portion of what
they won on Vatican. It is singular what extraordinary
luck occasionally, when least expected, attends the blue
and white stripe of Lord Exeter, which I, for one, am
always glad to see—his horses nearly always running
:for the off, and seemingly remote chances. This same
Phlegethon afterwards ran a bad third to Lamartine for
the Welcome Stakes; Artisan was second. Lamartine
is worth an investment (being an improving horse) at a
long shot for the St. Lager. For the Emperor's Plate
to-morrow, Rusaborough, Trouncer, Little Jack, and
Woolwich, will, I believe, be all that will muster at the
starting post; and, perchance, they may travel home
in the order I have placed them. It is said, mis-
chief is meant with Russborough ; if so he'll
win; if not, Trouncer will! I cannot discover any-
thing to beat the Phryne colt (Bro. to Elthiron) for the
New Stakes; Elcot and the Queen Anne colt, however,
must not be altogether forgotten. The Child of the
Mist will run well; and Mr. Payne's filly will be in
close contiguity to the winner. My remarks on the
Derby of nest year will appear on Monday.

THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF,

June 4, 1851.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ASCOT HEATH RACES.—TUESDAY.
From the outline of the engagements for the week
published on Monday, it will have been collected that the
prospects of the meeting, in respect of sport, were
barely up to the Ascot standard, and, in particular, that
the attractions of the third and last days were materi-
ally lessened by the withdrawal of the Flying Dutchman
and Voltigeur from the Emperor's Plate, and the dis-
continuance of the Great Western Railway Handicap.
With the provision for the first day—always the beat of
the four—no fault could be found, as, allowing for the
probability of small fields for three or four races, it in-
cluded so many events of interest, that we are disposed
to think cne or two could have been spared to strengthen
the programme for Friday; indeed, should the railway
companies be stedfast in their determination not to give
a plate, a re-arrangement of the stakes will become in-
dispensible, if the four days are to be maintained. The
meeting commenced most favourably as regarded wea-
ther, and with an eclat which the presence of her Ma-
jesty alone could have given it.
The Court movements have always been so remark-
able for punctuality that some little surprise was mani-
fested at the non-appearance of the royal cortege at the
entrance of the New Hilo until within a few minutes
of the time fixed for the first race—half-past one.
It consisted of nine carriages and four, preceded as
usual by the Master of the Backhounds and the
Royal Huntsman, and was attended by the usual
retinue of mounted servants. In the carriage with
the Queen were the Princess Royal, the Duchess of
Saxe Coburg Goths, and Prince Henry of the Nether-
lands. Prince Albert followed in the next, with the
Prince of Wales, the Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, and
the Duke of Cambridge. In the other •carridges we
observed the Prince.of Leiningen, the Dukes of Devon-
shire, N,,rfolk, and Newcastle; Marquisses ot
' Weittan-
ster and Abercorn, the Countess a Bessborough. Sir
George and Lady Grey, Lady Oliver Grosvenor, Lady
Adeliza Howard, Lady Constance Gomm, Lord William
Powlett, and the Lords and Ladies in waiting.
It is scarcely necessary to add that her Majesty's re-
ception was loyal and affectionate; it was graciously
acknowledged.
The Grand Stand, which has undergone several im-
provements since last year, one of the most important
being the raising of the lawn so as to admit of a much
better view of the racing than heretofore, was very fully
and fashionably attended ; more so, perhaps, than
would have been the case had the original charge for
admission to the Exhibition in Hyde-park been in
farce. We noticed in it, and in the small stands appro-
priated to the stewards of tho races and the Jockey
Club, the following influential members of the aristo-
cratic and sporting circles:—
His Excellency the Swedish Minister.
Dukes—Rutland, Richmond, and Buccleuch.
Marquisses—Exeter, Waterford, Ely, Stafford, Drog-
beds, Kildare, Worcester, and Clanricarde.
Marchionesses—Aylesbury, Drogheda, Stafford, and
Kildare.
Earls—Zetland, Granville, March, Eglinton, Ux-
bridge, Strathmore, Stradbroke, Chesterfield, Wilton,
Euston, Mansfield, Grosvenor, Cardigan, Glengall,
Dutham, and Airlie.
Countesses—Granville, March, Eglinton, Strathmore,
Chesterfield, and Wilton.
Viscounts—Canterbury, Maidstone, Clifden, Tor-
rington, Enfield, Villiers, Lascelles, Cranky, Newport,
Newark, Anson, Dungarvon, Exmouth, and Emlyn.
Vinountesses—Oranley, Torrington, Enfield, New-
port, and Emlyn.
Lords—Stanley, Robert Pelham Clinton, Ribbles-
dale, Burleigh, H. Gordon Lennox, George Paget, and

Ladies—Bateman, Elizabeth Lascelles, Burleigh,
Elizabeth Grey, Egerton, &e.
Hen. Messieurs—S. Herbert, R. Boyle, H. Pitt,
Captain Roue, Frederick Villiers, Francis Villiers,
James Macdonald, E. Lascelles, A. Hood, G. Anson,,G.
Barringtcn, W. Begot, Cecil Forreater, Petro, F.
Leveson, D. B. Phipps, S. Lumley, &c.
Hon. Mesdames—White, Melville, G. Anson, Vil-
liers, S. lirhert, Phipps, &c.
Sirs—J. Hawley, W. Fraier, W. W. Wynne, W. Co-
drington, G. IL Boswell, &c.
Colonels—Peel, Newton, Wyndham, &c , &c.
It will be seen from the above list, that the display of
" rank, beauty, and fashion," was worthy of Ascot. We
cannot speak so well of the general attendance, which,
it must be admitted, was below the average.
Immediately after the arrival of her Majesty racing
commenced, tnd proceeded up to the Ascot Stakes,
which was not run until near tour o'clock. Immediately
after its decision the illustrious party in the Royal
Stand departed for Windsor Castle. Five races suc-
ceeded the handicap, and at about half-past six a long
and most excellent day's sport was brought to a close.
To the courteous manner in which the Noble Master
of the Buckhoueds (the Earl of Bessborough) presided
over the arrangements of the course, all who had busi-
ness to transact, can bear witness. His Lordship's
duties were rendered more onerous by the absence of
Mr. Hilaburd, who, we wore sorry to hear, was too ill to
leave his bed; his son, Mr. H. Hibburd, officiated for
him as clerk of the course and starter, and in each ca-
pacity, acquitted himself satisfactorily.
With the exception of the accident to Breba, in the
race for the Queen's Vase, we heard only of one circum-
stance that a', all militated against the general enjoy-
ment; this arose out of a quarrel and a fight between
two men, which terminated in the death of one of them
from the first blow.
The following is as detailed an account of the racing
as the shortness of the intervals between the various

events—rendered unavoidable by their number—enabled
us to obtain.

CRICKET.—TAE 31ARILEBONE CLUB AND GROUND
"MTH THREE PLAYERS OF. THE GROUND P. THE
SURREY CLUB WITH THREE PLA ESS OF THE SURREY
GnouNn —This grand match was resumed yesterday at
" Lords," upon which occasion there was a goodly at-
tendance of spectators. Iu each innings the " County"
fell short of the score of the " Marylebone," and, of
course, having done so, there could be but one result,
namely, that they lost the day, notwithstanding the
strength they had sent to "Lord's." The final score
stood as follows, by which it will be seen that Maryle..
bone won by 55 runs :—Marylebone, first innings, 129;
second ditto, 91. Surrey, first innings, 93; second
ditto, 72.

HER YIAJLSTY'S THEATRE.
Le Tre Nozze was resumed hero last evening, and,
now that Lablache has completely recovered his voice, his
health, and his agility, nothing could go off more buoy-
antly than this sparkling opera of Alanry. Never did
Lablacho make richer " fun, never did Sontag make
more exquisite music, never did Ida Bertrand act
and sing more artistically, and never has intriguing
valet found a more bustling representative than
Ferranti. Fortunate indeed is Alaury in having 'such
artistes to create his first work. The pleasant ballet of
the le des Amours concluded the entertainments.

nouring the performances at her Majesty's Theatre yes-

quis of Northampton, Marquis d'Aguado ; the Earl of
