might either be the court-yard of the British Museum,
where it would form a noble addition to the peerless
collection of Egyptian monuments, of which the
famed " Rosetta Stone," that other trophy of our
occupation of Egypt, forms a part ; or it might, per-
haps, be more appropriately set up in St. James's-
park, at the back of the Horse Guards.
The expense of its removal could not be great
but, whatever might be its amount, it is certain ,
when even Mr. Hume has expressed an interest in
the subject, that the nation would cheerfully incur it.
An offer bas, indeed, been made to Government to
bring it to England by contract for a comparatively
trifling BUM.

THE LIOLYOAKE STAKES, &c.
(Br ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—Two or three blunders occurred in the list of non-
starters in yesterday's dispatch in consequence of the
indecision of the owners at the time of sending it off.
Backbiter, Champion, The Ebor, Elcho, and British Boy
will not start for the Holyoake Stakes. Herbert, I be-
lieve, is a non-starter, and Ischia is very dubious. The
field will consist of Egret, 6 yrs, 7st 101 b, Administrator,
aged, ist 51b, Sunrise, 3 yrs, 6st 101 b, and Lcap-year,
3 yrs, sst Slb. Another may go, but that is uncertain.
Egret and Administrator will be the first and second.
Very little betting on any other events but those about
to be decided. A great deal of talk about Dawson's trio
for the Ebor Handicap; not known whether the horse on
the day will be Maid of Masham, Cyclops, or The

The betting last night was remarkable at the West-
end for its difference from that in the City with respect
to Nancy for the Ebor Handicap. At the former, 5 and
6 to 1 was currently offered against her; in the latter,
any advance
upon 7 to 2 was snapped up with great
avidity. Clarissa was in considerable force for the Ce-
sarewitch at 30 to 1, which price could not be obtained at
the close of. the evening. The market this morning is
not very brisk, but a moderate amount of very heavy
business has been transacted, at the following prices:—

GREAT EXHIBITION LABOURS.—A short time since
(says an Ipswich paper) six farm labourers, named Robert
Bennett, Jonathan Bennett, William Peek, Joseph Woods,
George Hatcher, and John Davey, belonging to the parish of
Otley, started from that place for the purpose of visiting the
Great Exhibition. They walked from Otley to the Ipswich
Railway station, a distance of eleven miles. and arrived there
in time to take excursion tickets for London by the seven
tr . ain Arriving at Shoreditch, they proceeded by an omni-
bus to within about two miles of the building, when they
alighted and walked the rest of the distance; and after
strolling amid the wonders of the World's Fair for upwards
of four hours, they returned on foot to the Shoreditch Sta-
tion. On their way thither, one of their number parted from
the rest, and they had to retrace their steps until they found
him. They then resumed their walk to Shoreditch, and
arrived there in time for the mail train for Ipswich, by which
train they reached the latter place about twelve o'clock at
night. After partaking of some refreshment in Ipswich,
the whole party then started for Otley, reaching their homes
about four o'clock in the morning. Four of the number,
feeling the need of sleep, betook themselves to their beds,
but the other two, Robert Bennett and George Hatcher, pro-
ceeded at once to their usual occupations, George Hatcher to
carting manure, and Robert Bennett to ploughing ! Thus,
after not less than twenty-five hours' exertion (walking be-
tween forty and fifty miles, besides riding 140 miles), these
two men went through another day's work of no easy
nature!

FIRE AT PECKHAM.—Yesterday afternoon, a fire,
that did considerable damage, broke out in the premises
belonging to Mr. J. Howard, a carpenter and builder, 12,
Nigh-street, Peckham. The flames originated in the
workshops, from whence they spread with unusual swiftnees
to the adjoining buildings. Within a few feet of the burn;
ing property was situated a number of buildings belonging
to Mr. Orlan, the chemist, and in order to prevent
otbee,and

flagration from reaching them, several men set to K

profit on the importation of gold from the United States.
THE TERANDESTON MURDER.—John Mickle-
burgh, who committed the terrible murder at Thrandeston,
has been brought to the Ipswich County Gaol. He has so
far carried out his avowed intention of starving himself that
he has not taken three ounces of food; he has lived entirely
on liquids, such as coffee and tea. We understand he will
this day (Tuesday) have an interview with his wife, and
write his will. After this he declares that nothing shall in-
duce him to partake of any kind of nourishment, and that he
will never disgrace his family by having it said that be was
hanged in front of the gaol. The authorities have remon-
stratedls with him, and should he obstinately
persist
