The following presented Addresses and Petit ions to the King :
Earls Mount Edgecumbe and Falmouth, with an Address from
a large majority of the resident Magistrates of Cornwall, de-
claring their loyalty to the King, and that the Reform Bill is
of more vital moment to the Church and State than any which
has been brought in since the Act of Settlement—congratu-
lating his Majesty upon the last discussion of that Bill in the
Upper House when it was rejected—setting forth the essential
value of an independent Peerage to the Constitution, the
Church. and the Thronc—thanking his Majesty for his Procla-
mation against Political Unions, and expressing earnestly
their confidence that his Majesty will not use the Royal Pre-
rogative otherwise than as it has been used by his Majesty's
illustrious ancestors, notwithstanding the advice which it is
reported has been given to that effect, and which report is the
cause of their presuming thus to address the Throne.
Earl Grey presented an Address to his Majesty from the Heri-
tors, House Proprietors, and other Inhabitants of the parish of
Neilston, in the county of Renfrew, in favour of Reform.
Lord Kenyon, with a Petition from the Archdeacon and Clergy
of the Archdeaconry of Ely, humbly expressing their opinion
that the Commission appointed in Ireland to carry into effect
a system of Education founded on the Popish notion of the in-
expediency of allowing the indiscriminate use of the Word of
God is a direct impeachment of the Divine Counsels, and a
substitution of the wisdom of man for the wisdom of God ;
and must be as unwise as a question of State policy as it is irre-
concileable with the dictates of our Reformed Religion. They
therefore humbly pray your Majesty that the indignity which
the proposed measure offers to the Word of God may as spee-
dily as possible be cancelled,
Soon after the close of the Court his Majesty left town in his
travelling carriage on his return to Windsor

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S, AL4Ren. 22.

In the course of the afternoon, Spencer was backed at 9 to 1
by a gentleman, who also offered to back him even against
Beiram for five hundred or a thousand ; he also took 3 to 1
about the lot. Margrave went back another point; he has
been short of work lately, which naturally occasions a belief
that there is a screw loose. The only other alteration is in the
Oaks, Sto 1 having been betted against Erniliana. We sub-
join the cicising prices :

S TEEPLE CHA SE.

The Warwickshire Steeple Race came off yesterday, after
much disappointment and opposition on the part of the land-
owners. The distance was under four miles, over a heavy
country, with a wide ditch, and finished at the top of Ladbroke-
hill. The starting point was Ufton, where the hounds had
met, three miles on the Daventry-road from Leamington. It
was for 10 sovereigns each, Sir E. Mostyn adding 20 sovereigns.
Five horses started, and came in as follows :
Mr. Thornhill's Keeper (rode by Poturck) 1
Mr. Hawley's b. h '2
Mr. Ibbotts' br. h.
Mr. Parker's b. m.
