THE "DISTINGUISHED FOREIGNER" AND THE DERBY
SETTLING. —Our attention has been directed to the remarks
which appeared in our account of the Derby settling, and
which referred to a person well known on the turf as a
" distinguished foreigner." The story about his clandestine
marriage was only one of those absurd rumours which float
about society, and which was given just as we received it.
He states that, so far from his quitting the yard with
500/. in pocket, he paid in the course of Tuesday between
6001. and 7001. Such is the statement which has been made
to us, and we place it before our sporting readers, as the
gentleman referred to seems desirous of vindicating his
character.

Civil &mice Gazette.
The Commissioners of Customs have, on the applica-
tion of Messrs. Cairns and Co., extended to Red Lion
Wharf the privilege of landing, examining, and ware-
housing all foreign merchandise except tobacco. This:
is she first time the privilege of- landing eilks, &c., has
been extended to any wharf or place above Lode
bridge. Another order of the Board of Customs, made
on the recommendation of Mr. Cockshott, Landing
Surveyor, directs that in future British spirits bottled in
bond may be exported in 12-gill bottles, instead of 5 ILtd-
gill bottles, as heretofore. This will be a great advan-
tage to those engaged in the spirit trade, who, owing t o
the previous restriction as to size, were rery much 01 3-
structed in their competition with the Dutch exporte rs
to South America. Under the law as it originally stoo d
the Dutch could import into this country, for the pur-
pose of re-exportation, spirits in bottles of 12 gills each,
whereas British spirits could only be exported in b,,)t-
des of 5 1-3d-gill4
