At ten o'clock their Royal Highnesses the Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge, attended by Baroness Ahlefeldt,
left the Lancaster Tower for town. Their Royal High-
nesses travelled by the Great Western Railway.
At half-past ten o'clock the cavalry escort arrived
from the barracks. The Emperor of Russia shortly af-
terwards descended from his apartments into the quad-
rangle, and inspected the escort, which was composed of
the Ist Life Guards. His Imperial Majesty also ad-

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE:
ASCOT HEATH RACES—YESTERDAY.
A second class of the Wokingliam Stakes proved a
welcome addition to a list that previously had boasted
very slender pretensions ; fur this and the other engage-
ments the fields were large, the sport excellent, and the
results favourable to the fielders. The company was
quite as numerous as is usually seen on the last day, and
the weather propitious.
In the course of the morning John Day's objections
to Bloodstone, the winner of the New Stakes, were gone
into. They were three in number, viz.—that he is more
than two years old; that his owner or part-owner is in
arrear for stakes; and that his nomination is wrong as
to pedigree. The whole ca=e turned upon the first point,
arid Messrs. Field and Itrry, veterinary surgeons, hav-
ing, on examination of his mouth, unhesitatingly given
an opinion that he is three years old (Old England hav-
ing also been inspected by them, and pronounced to have
a two-year-old mouth), the stewards awarded the stakes
to John Day. They. went into the evidence with regard
to the instructions given by Mr. J. Newman, and passed
a resolution that Mr. Newman was proved to have given
orders to Bell to lose the race, and that the latter's con-
duct—first in mentioning the circumstance to his master
(Planner), and afterwards in riding to win—was highly
creditable to him. The consequence of the decision as
to the age is, that the bets, as well as the stakes, go with
Old England. •
The races commenced at one o'clock with a

Copeland's Imaum.
With this race terminated a busy, and, if the receipts
at the Grand Stand be a fair criterion, a very successful
meeting. Of the manner in which it has been con-
ducted throughout, and of -the anxiety shown by the
Master of the Buck Hounds, and his zealous and most
efficient Clerk of the Course, Mr. Hibburd, to promote
the comfort and accommodation of all who had any
business transactions with the meeting, it would be un-
grateful not to speak in the highest terms of acknow-
ledgment. We are happy to state, in conclusion, that
irrespective of the magnificent gift of the Emperor of
Russia, the prospects of 1845 are of the most brilliant
description.

FRENCH PLAYS.

The Life Guards escorted the illustrious party from
the Castle to the Slough station of the Great Western
Railway, where a special train was in readiness to
convey the august party to town.
The royal standard was immediately lowered from the
Round Tower on the departure of her Majesty.
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the
Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, left the Castle
tone o'clock, for Slough, and were conveyed from that
station to town, by a special train.
The Queen and Prince Albert, the Emperor of Russia
and the King of Saxony, and the royal suites, arrived at
Buckingham Palace, at twelve o'clock, in the same order
in which they quitted the Castle. The Lord Chamber-
lain receiving the august party on alighting from their

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
Mademoiselle Dejazet, the fascinating, clever espicyle
Dejazet, the favourite, par excellence, of the French and
the English public, made her first appearance here for
the season last evening. Who that has ever seen
Dejazet does not wish to see her again? What wonder,
therefore, that the theatre was crowded with her ad-
mirers, who hailed her appearance with a genuine
English shout of welcome. She is the same Dejazet as
ever, as charming, as fascinating, as arch, as coquettish,
as versatile, and as volatile; and the character she
chose for debut, that of Marie in the comedie vaudeville
of Madame Favart, affords her ample opportunity for
the display of her talents and accomplishments.
Marie is a young girl of respectable connections, but in
reduced circumstances, who is living with her old father.
She is beloved by M. Favart, afterwards the celebrated
founder of the Opera Comique, but who at the time in
which the action of the play is laid is merely commenc-
ing his career as a dramatic author.—Marie determines
to go upon the stage, and as Madlle. de Chantilly makes
a most successful debut. The celebrated Marshal Saxe
is her great patron. and Favart becomes jealous, without
reason, as far as Marie is concerned, although the Mar-
shal is most desirous of being received as her professed
admirer. She, however, contrives, by her admirable
management, not only to pacify Favart, but to get the
Marshal to bestow upon him the office of Director of
the Opera Comique, and at length, with the Marshal's
consent, she becomes Madame Favart. Her acting
throughout was exquisite, and her singing beautiful ;
and in the course of the piece she appeared in a variety
of costumes, all of which set off her personal charms
to great advantage. In her peasant's costume she was
perfectly bewitching. She was called for at the con-
clusion, being led forward by M. Ithozevil, who had sup -
ported her admirably in the character of Favart She
was enthusiastically applauded, and bouquets were
showered upon her from all parts of the theatre. Ma-
dame Favart was preceded by Monsieur et une Dame,
and followed by a new vaudeville, entitled La Polkaen
Province, which is one of the pleasantest and most
laughable absurdities to which the Polkamania has as yet
given rise.

GREAT FOUR-OARED CUTTER MATCH.
The aquatic portion of the public were yesterday entertained
with a very beautiful race amongst the gentlemen of the
Cambridge University Subscription Rooms, London, inter-
spersed with a variety of amusing accidents, and concluding
with the novelty of a dead heat between the second and third
boats. The race was as usual for the silver medals, and at a
quarter past six the gentlemen whose names had been drawn
by lot far crews took their place in the following order, to row
from Westminster to Putney-bridge
LIGHT BLUE.—J. P. Riehardson,Trinitiy, stroke ;G. Murdoch,
John's ; Cooper, Trinity ; Horton, Trinity ; Munster, coxswain.
RED.—Cloves, Trinity, stroke ; Pickering, Trinity-hall ;
Phelps, Christchurch; Shadwell, John's; Hon. G. Denman,
steerer.
WurrE.—Ritchie, Trinity, stroke; Selwyn, Trinity; Mar-
rett, Trinity ; Goldfinch, Trinity ; Ronayne, steerer.
BLACK.—Arnold, Caius, stroke ; J. Richardson, Trinity ;
Stewart, Trinity ; Nichols, Trinity ; Cox, steerer.
GREEN.—Hon. L. Denman, Mag., stroke; Clysold, Trinity;
Sharp, Trinity ; Peter, Jesus ; Johnson, steerer.
There was a great number of boats, and amongst them we
noticed the Royal Academy eight, St. George's ditto, the
Leander, six, the Guy's, the Waverley, and others ; and
there would no doubt have been a vast assemblage of scullers,
but that the wind, which blew briskly, set right against the
tide, and rendered wager wherries rather unsafe conveyances.
Mr. Phipps, the Honorary Secretary of the Cambridge Rooms,
had, with much foresight, ordered the boats to be lowered,
in as far as they practically could be before the start, and but
for this precaution, in all probability, some serious results
might have attended the race, as it was the parties had some
difficulty to keep afloat—one, indeed, could not.
The start took place at half-past six, and was beautifully
managed, the whole of the parties getting away together,
save Black, who did not take their water at the same mo-
ment as their adversaries. 'White took the lead, closely
waited upon by Green, Light Blue and Red being oar and
oar. There was some very beautiful rowing against a dead
noser all the way up Lambeth reach, where Black rowed up
to the leading boat, and after some sharp pulling obtained
the first place, and went through Vauxhall-bridge in advance,
White being second, and Red and Light Blue close astern.
The latter was making strenuous efforts for the lead, and at
the Belgrave-dock passed White and Red, while Green were
digging their way in the lumpy water on the Surrey shore,
without much apparent chance of bettering their condition.
The whole of the boats had more or less shipped a great deal
of the surf, and the coxswains, independently of handling
the yoke lines, were busily engaged baling out the water
with their hats, &c. About half-way between the Red House
and Battersea-bridge, Green came up to White, and passed
them, and just about Battersea-bridge the latter were so
water-logged that they were obliged to go ashore and turn
their boat up, which they very quietly did, taking to her
again and finishing the distance. Black continued the lead,
and gradually went further in advance, whilst Light Blue
and Red passed and re-passed three times, making the most
gallant and beautiful race all the way home. Black won by
upwards of half a dozen lengths, Light Blue and Red were
in the arch together, and made a dead heat, although Red
seemed to have a foot the best at entering. Green was fourth.
The gentlemen afterwards dined at Aviss's, the Bells Tavern.

The Noble President having briefly opened the business of
the meeting, the secretary was called upon to read the report.
The report stated at length the progress and present state
of the Institute, and gave an abstract of its statistics and
finances, which showed it to be in a very flourishing condition,
both as to its members and funds ; there being 1,255 members,
including those families entitled to the privilege of member-
ship, and a vested capital of 4,000/. in the Three per Cent.
Consols, and assets to the value of 5,0004 and liabilities to
the extent of 2,0001. only.
The report appeared to give the greatest satisfaction, and
the motions for its adoption, printing, and distribution among
the members, were carried unanimously.
A vote of entire satisfaction with the management of the
past year was then passed with the same unanimity, as well
as separate votes of thanks to the Earl of Devon for the deep
interest and great attention bestowed by him on the affairs
of the Institute; thanks to Mr. Buckingham for his able and
satisfactory management and superintendence; and thanks
to the Committee for their zealous and successful co-opera-
tion in prorroting the general welfare of the society; all of
which were carried with unanimity ; and
The Earl of DEVON, on returning thanks for the confidence
reposed in him, bestowed a high eulogium on the character of
Mr. Buckingham, and bore testimony to his indefatigable
labours and great ability, to which he considered the success
of the Institute to be almost wholly attributable.
After which the meeting separated.

DESTUCTIVE FIRE AT HUDDERSFIELD.—Preperty
to the extent of 30,0001. to 40,0001. in value was destroyed
by fire on Monday morning last, at Folly-hall, near Hudders-
field. Between one and two o'clock in the morning flames
were discovered bursting out from the third floor of the large
factory at Folly-wharf, the property of Mr. Joseph Kaye.
Messengers were quickly dispatched for fire-engines to Ar-
mitage-bridge and Milnes-bridge ; and the fire-engine be-
longing to the factory and that of the Leeds and Yorkshire
Insurance Company at Huddersfield were immediately set to
work, as were also the engines which speedily arrived from
the former places ; but, notwithstanding there was a plen-
tiful supply of water, the whole of the buildings in which
the fire originated fell a rapid prey to the element. As
it was soon evident that the fire had a large hold, owing,
in a great measure, to the inflammable nature of the
contents of the mill, the efforts of those who worked
the engines were soon directed to the preservation of
another large mill, a little to the south of the one now
consumed, and also the property of Mr. Kaye. Hap-
pily, though the heat from the adjoining conflagration
melted a great portion of the lead forming the roof of the
second mill, and did great damage to the doors and windows,
the efforts of the firemen were successful in saving the second
mill from destruction. The mill or factory which was de-
stroyed was about 63 yards long, 18 wide, and 24 in height
to the eaves, above which were attics, and without these
there were five stories. It was divided into a number of
rooms, with steam power to each, and occupied by separate
persons or firms. By the conflagration an immense quantity
of property, amounting at least in value, as we have said
before, to thirty or forty thousand pounds, was destroyed.
Five hundred persons have been thrown out of employment,
and several of the occupiers of steam power ruined. Most
of the latter class of persons had not their property insured,
and Mr. Kaye's property was only partially insured. His
loss we understand, will not be less than 20,0001. The only
accident that occurred in connection with the fire was to a
youth about seventeen years of age, who had his arm frac-
tured by a coping-stone falling upon it. The origin of the
fire has not been positively ascertained, but rumour ascribes
it to the spontaneous combustion of a quantity of shoddy, or -
devil's dust.
LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY.—A general meet-
ing of the provisional committee for the construction of this
new line of railway was held yesterday morning at the Hall of
Commerce, Threadneedle-street. The Right Hon. the Earl
of Winchilsea occupied the chair. Mr. J. H. Astell, the
chairman of the acting committee stated, that that commit-
tee having been appointed for the purpose of adopting mea-
-1 sures for amalgamating the two companies then before the
public, viz. the Great Northern Company, and the London
and York via Lincoln Company, each having in view tke
connecting the metropolis with the city of York, and ulti-
mately with Edinburgh, by means of a railroad, had so far
succeeded in their object, that henceforward the two
companies would act together in an harmonious spiri
The committee had also appointed Mr. Locke, the en-
gineer to decide upon the merits of the respective
lines. Mr. Pitman, the secretary, then read the report of
the acting Committee, the contents of which, however, may
be gathered from Mr. Astell's speech. The Noble Chairman
said he fully concurred in all that the report contained, and
added that he should be happy to give his most cordial sup-
port to either line that the engineer might prefer; even
though, regarding it in a personal point of view, the other
might be more advantageous to himself. Upon the motion
of Viscount Ilowick, M.P., seconded by Sir G. Strickland,
M.P., the report was then agreed to; as was a motion ap-
pointing a Committee of twenty-four gentlemen, with full
power to take all necessary measures to carry out the under-
taking. The Committee was subsequently nominated; and,
upon the motion of Mr. E. B. Denison, M.P., seconded by the
Hon. Octavius Duncombe, M.P., a vote of thanks was pissed
to the Noble Chairman, when the meeting separated.

RAILWAY BlLLS.—Before the gallery of the House
of Lords was opened yesterday, the following Railway Billa
were read a second time :—viz., South-Eastern Railway Bill,
Whitehaven and Maryport Railway Bill, Salisbury Branch
Railway Bill„ and South Devon Railway Bill.
BRAINTREE.—A meeting of the Directors of the
Braintree Corn Exchange was held on Tuesday last, at the
Horn Inn, Braintree, when a dividend of 4i per cent. was
declared on the shares. William Walford, jun., Esq., and
Mr. John Taylor, of Hediugham, were unanimously elected
treasurer and chairman, in the room of George Nottidge,jun.,
Esq. resigned.—Essex Standard.
Ltensive preparations are on foot by Mr. Cnbbitt,
at the Belgrave Works, Thames-bank, to receive the Empe-
ror of Russia and the King of Saxony, who have expressed a
desire to witness the power of steam in that extensive factory.
THE WAKEFIELD CoLuEns.—These men yet re-
main out, with the exception of the pits named by us before,
and we see no likelihood of the dispute being amicably settled,
as both masters and men do not appear willing to make any
compromise ; this we regret, as we think some amicable ar-
rangement might, perhaps, have been made. The
shop-
keepers have begun to feel the effects of the strike in a dimi-
nished exchequer, and great complaints are made of the
scarcity of money,-Wakefield Journal.
RAILWAY FARES.—The following remarks upon
the high fares maintained by the Railway Companies of this
country, from the reports of the Parliamentary Select Com-
mittee on Railways, are well deserving of publicity and at-
tention :—" Great as have been the benefits of railways to
the public, that circumstance does not afford any good rea-
son against seeking, by any just and reasonable means, to
enlarge these advantages. Now, it is material to observe,
that in this country what is called the high-fare system,
ordinarily prevails ; that the average charge of railway
communication, a charge falling, in no inconsiderable degree,
on trade and commerce,' is very much higher than in other
countries where railways have been established ; and that
there is no clear or early prospect of a general reduction of
the rate of charge under the present system of independent
Companies, even although it might be possible that that great
experiment might be tried, if it were tried fully and univer-
sally, with no unfavourable results, even upon immediate re-
turns. It is a question which the Committee are far from
wouldthinking

at a future period, endeavour to effect a material reduction
of this charge ; and, although on the one hand, it would be
premature and most unwise in any degree to prejudge this
question, yet, in the opinion of the Committee, it is desirable
to reserve to public authority the means of forming a judg-
ment upon it, when a proper time shall have arrived, at least
in all those cases with regard to which the Legislature does
not stand committed, by proceedings already taken, to a
different course." It may be mentioned, to show the diffe-
rence between fares in America and England, that from Bos-
ton to New York costs only 9s. 6d., although it is about 200
miles ; and from New York to Albany, 160 miles, 6s. blight
this not be copied with advantage?
A NOVEL DEFENDANT.—Many of the inhabitants
of Beverley were much amused last week by a case brought
before the Magistrates at the Guildhall, which was rendered
one of the ;most absurd burlesques perhaps ever enacted
within the walls of a court of justice. The subject for inquiry'
arose from an aged and respectable gentleman, a retired
bookseller, having been playfully attacked by a large and
Alpine spaniel (of the species originally bred by the
monks of St. Bernard), whose owner was charged with allow-
ing the said animal to range about unmuzzled, to the dan-
gerous annoyance of her Majesty's lieges. The dog being as
particular favourite, from the fact of his having descended.
from pure stock, and been bred on the rich soil of Bramhans
Park, it was net to be endured that a malignant aspersion
should be east upon his fame, without a vigorous effort being
made by a special pleader in his defence. The bench was,
therefore, crowded by members of the learned and legal pro-
fessions—gentry, bankers, and merchants—who, together
with a numerous host from the body of the court, readily'
came forward to prove the excellent temper and docility of
the animal ; in further proof whereof, he was ordered into
court, and actually took his stand erect on the bench, at the
right of the worshipful Magistrates, where ho certainly did
appear most sagaciously consequential of his notoriety, apci
much delighted by the judicial decision in his favour, that he
was neither savage nor ferocious, to the evident chagrin of
his accuser, but much to the diversion of a large assemblage
of spectators.— York Courant.
