PRIORESS ;
recommending ENGLISH ROSE and ZOUAVE as two
good outsiders and formidable opponents to the
Yankee mare.
Musjid twice disappointed his Derby backers by
his running at Ascot and at Goodwood, but it is
now stated that he will prove himself worthy of
their confidence, by winning the Clearwell Stakes.
For the Bedford Stakes, I shall select King-at-
Arms ; and for the Select Stakes Happy Land.

A FRESH MAN.

TATTER SALL'S.-SATURDAY EVENING.

The Roman Candle was decidedly the first favou-
rite for the Cesarewitch, 8 to 1 being the highest offer
against him at the close. 10 to 1 was taken and
offered about Prioress, whilst Beacon advanced from
the outside price of 40 to 1, which was laid the
day before, to 100 to 8 taken. The Happy Land receded to
22 to 1 offered. 12 to 1 might have been had about Ma-
lacca at last, although at one time he was as-good a. favou-
rite as anything. Very little was done on the Cam-
bridgeshire.

ERRATUM.—In the following sentence of our
first article in Saturday's impression—" The comet of 1843,
the most wonderful on record, whisked round the sun, close
to it, at such a rate that its tail, million' of mileslong, de-
scribed in two hours the half of an orbit equal to the
earth's," read "a hundred million of miles long."—Tiger.
Robert Dale Owen, Esq., son of Robert Owen,
and late United States Minister at Naples, arrived in Lon-
don yesterday, and left again, almost immediately, for
Sevenoaks, to see his father, who had, for some days, been
much indisposed and confined to his bed.
LENGTHENING AN IRON STEAMER.—On Satur-
day afternoon the screw steamer Colombo, belonging to the
Peninsular and Oriental Company, was "drawn out " 36
feet amidships, for the purpose of being lengthened to that
extent. She will then be 316 feet long, and her capacity
will be 2,200 tons. She is also to be supplied with new
boilers and a new screw.

THE FOREIGN-OFFICE.--Mr. James Murray, of
the Foreign-office, has been appointed Assistant 'Under-
Secretary for Foreign Affairs. There have been only two
Under-Secretaries since August, 1827, when, on the resigna-
tion of the Marquis of Clanrlcarde, the third Under-
Secretaryship was not filled up.
THE DISTRICT BANK, NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE.—
On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday the liquidators of the
District Bank, Newcastle-on-Tyne, paid the first dividend
of 3s. in the pound to the depositors in the bank. The total
dividend would amount to about half-a-million. The pay-
ment was made in the new Town-hall.

ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—The following
gentlemen having undergone the necessary examinations
for the diploma were admitted members of the College at a
meeting of the Court of Examiners on the Bth inst., viz.,
Messrs. John Shea, Blackfiiars-road ; John Ireland, King-
,rd, Staffordshire ; Alfred Heale, Luton, Bedfordshire;
Francis M'Court, Portglenone, county of Antrim ; Richard
Pettifer Walkr.r, Birchfield, near Birmingham; Thomas
Miles Hill, Clifton, Bristol; Henry Greenwood Rawdon,
Liverpool; James Finegan, Liverpool ; and Geo. Altharn,
Proston, Lancashire. At the same meeting of the Court
Mr. J, ka. Breaky passed his examination for naval surgeon
—this gentleman had previously been admitted a member
of the college, his diploma bearing date Dec. 19, 1851.
THE LATE EXPLOSION OF GAS.—DEATH OF ONE
or THE SUFFERERS.—Yesterday morning Mr. Charles
Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, received information
of the death of Elizabeth Blenpin, aged 40 years, housemaid
of Col. Fulke Southwell Greville, M.P. for Longford, under
the following direumstances. It appears that the deceased
and two other domestics, smelling an escape of gas, went
into a room with a lighted piece of paper, when a most ter-
rific explosion took place, knocking them down, and burn-
ing them in a frightful manner. They were conveyed to
St. George's Hospital, where Mr. Tomlinson, house sur-
geon, rendered every assistance till death terminated her
sufferings. The other two sufferers are progressing
favourably.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN SOHO-SQUARE.—Yester-
day afternoon a young man named Thomas Bowden, in the
employ of Messrs. Edwards and Co., silk mercers, Soho-
square, made a most desperate attempt at suicide, by throw-
ing himself from an attic window into the area below, a dis-
tance of 150 feet. He was removed to Middlesex Hospital,
where it was found that both legs were broken, and a severe
wound had been inflicted on the right side of the chin, ex-
tending across the throat. The poor fellow, when picked _ttp,
was quite sensible, although but little hope remains of his
recovery. No reason can at present be assigned for the rash
act. He was considered of a strictly moral character, and
much esteemed by his employers.

havingthe election of a member for Leominster, in the room of Mr.
Willoughby, who is appointed a member of the Council of
India, the nomination is expected to take place in the week
after next. No opposition is expected, Mr. Wilde, the
Liberal candidate, having resigned his pretensions. In an
address to the electors making this 'announcement, he says
he reiires in deference to the interests of the Liberal party
in the borough. He says that in canvassing the electors ho
found among the Liberals a very large number who were
avowedly dsinclined on the present occasion to take any
part in the election. He adds, "'Wishes are not votes, and
I cannot fight the battle of the Liberal party in Leominster
without the Liberals." He therefore retires, but promises
at the next general election to make another appeal to the
constituency. It is expected, therefore, that the Hon. Capt.
Hanbury, a brother of Lord Bateman (Lord-Lieutenant
of Herefordshire and a large landed proprietor) will be
elected without opposition. Mr. Hanbury is a supporter el
the present Government. Mr. Willoughby has issued an
address to the electors on retiring from the representation
of the borough.
THE EQUINOCTIAL GALES.—SHIELDS, Saturday
Night.—During the past three days a heavy sea that hag

German Ocean, and squalls of wind, lia" lieen

According to the advices received by the Tyne insurance
vessels south of Yarmouth Roads and
clubs to-day much damage has been done to north country
in theneighbourhood
of Deal. The Waterloo, of Tain, from Hartlepool to
Grangemouth, coal laden, struck on the Seal Carr Rocks,
to the north of Berwick, on Thursday. The bottom of the
unfatunate vessel stove in, and she immediately began to
fill with water. The crew, after attempting to get her off,
were at last obliged to abandon her; the master's wife and
child were on board at the time she was wrecked, but they
were fortunately got ashore in safety. Last night the heavy

that he has had a most favourable trial.

Rocket has gone back in the betting owing to an
unfavourable trial with Queenstown, but as he tried
to give her a great deal of weight—they say 281bs.
—his owner says he will run, and, perhaps, win in
a " dash trot."

Odd Trick is fancied by nobody except his owner,
and Black Tommy is somewhat in the "same shop.'
" Vander" and Mr. Sykes will both run for the
" D'Orsay," who says one of them will be with the
leaders, but I lack faith in either.

Grand Secret has done nothing in public to in-
duce me to fancy him, and I think Happy Land
gave him all the 8 lbs. beating at Goodwood, and
will hold him quite safe.
Scribbler cannot be trusted, as everybody knows
after his Doncaster exhibition ; and the Courier, I
fear, is not class enough.
The others are scarcely worth wasting any space
upon, and I may at once state that I place my con-
