SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
EPSOM RACES.—YESTERDAY.
Epsom Races commenced yesterday, and a duller
commencement we Inver witnessed. The meeting was an
extremely thin one, confined solely to those peculiarly
interested in horse rtcing. The stakes run for were of I
small value, and roil of excitement, and the betting on I
them scarcely worth recording. A favourable change
in the weather was perceptible in the morning. The
north wind, that blew so keenly for the last three or
foar days) was stiperteded by a mild south=eastern breeze.
A i'exe early showers fell, and towards noon the clouds
cleared away, and then succeeded a sunny and genial
afternoon; the rain vas barely sufficient to lay the dust,
and the course remained as hard as wood pavement.
The great feature of the day was the Notice from the
Police Commissioners that the gamblng booths were to
be put down, and the persons connected with them, or
playing in them, taken into custody. In consequence of
this notice, so suddenly issued, and which, certainly,
ought to have been promulgated before parties had
taken and paid for the ground on which they were
erected, the utmost dissatisfaction was manifested by
the members of the gambling fraternity. This deter-
mination to put down gambling on race-courses will,
according to some, considerably diminish racing funds,
and, in consequence, plates and prizes to be run for must
decrease in number and value. There are others who think
that its suppressica will not eventually prove injurious
to the true interests of the Turf, inasmuch as the
parties who manage these funds never can have wished
to see them augmented from such impure sources ; and
there is a prevalent feeling among the right-minded that
the cleaner the course is swept of all impurities, the
more liberally will its sports be supported by the honour-
able patrons of horse-racing. The booths were closed
yesterday, tusekno play carried on in. them, but it is re-
ported, we are pretty confident erroneously, that they
will be opened this day (Wednesday), and that resist-
ance on the part of those connected with them will be
offered to the police. To prevent any foolish attempt of
the sort, in addition to the police already on the ground,
there will be sent to-day a reinforcement of 500 con-
stables. The arrangements on the course were the
same as usual, with the exception of a new mode
adopted for denominating the first and second horses.
The telegraph declares the winning horse by exhibiting
the figure placed before his name in the printed list, and
the second horse by showing the letter similarly placed
in the list. The method is simple, but the letters yes-
terday were too small to be visible at any reasonable-dis-
tance. We hope this slight drawback to the immediate
satisfying of the anxiety of the crowd will be remedied
in the exciting contests for the Derby and Oaks. The
attendance of fashionables was so meagre, that a list of
the names of the few present is not worth giving. They
are, no doubt, reserving themselves for the Derby drama
and the interesting afterpiece that will be played on
Friday.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
SATURDAY, MAY 18.
CASE OF SIR DAVID BREWSTER. _

PRINCESS'S CONCERT ROOM.

MISS CLARA SEYTON'S LECTURE ON
COMEDY.

The Assembly took up a petition and complaint from
Dr. Ferric against a decision of the Presbytery of St.
Andrews. The petition was to the effect that at a meet-
ing of the Presbytery, held on Monday last, it proceeded
to the consideration of a libel against Sir David Brew-
ster, and found the same relevant. Against this decision
Dr. Ferrie entered his dissent and complaint, and ap-
pealed to the Assembly ; but as the meeting of the
Assembly was so near, there was no time to have the
papers prepared, and the appellant was compelled to
come betoro the court without having a copy of the libel
or the other documents to lay on the table.
Dr. FERRIE stated that what he thought ought to be
done was this : that the Assembly should direct the
Presbytery Clerk to send up the libel, and the accom-
panying papers, by Thursday next. There was no time
for extracts, seeing the libel itself occupied from forty to
fifty pages.
Dr. HALDANE and Mr. MERSER, who appeared for the
Presbytery, stated that they had no objections whatever
to the papers being ordered ; but they contended that
copies, not the orginal.papers, should be brought up, in
case of accident It might become a serious matter, for
example, if the libel were lost.
This view was concurred in by the Court, and instruc-
tions were given that the Clerk of Presbytery should
send up copies of the libel and other papers by Thursday
next.

Miss Clara Seyton, last evening gave, at this room, a
lecture on comedy, showing its rise and progress, and
its influence ()lithe human mind, interspersed with songs
and recitations. The attempt was a bold one, but it
was completely successful. We some time since had
occasion to speak of the great tersatility of talent
exhibited by this young lady, on her appearance
at one of the theatres. To this we have to
add that not only did she bring great ver-
satility of talent to bear in illustrating her
lecture, but that the loctere itself bore proofs of
great research, refined taste, arid correct appreciation of
comic character. After rapidly tracing the rise tend
progress of comedy, from the earliest ages to the days
of Shakspeare, she alluded to the sensibility of the im-
mortal bard to the charms of music, and illustrated this
portion of the lecture by singing the beautiful song, " Bid
me discourse." After briefly alluding to the Comedies of
Ben Jonson and Chapman, she proceeded to one of
Shakspeare's earliest, but, at the same time, one of his
most perfect comedies, Much Ado about Nothing.
From this admirable comedy she recited various
passages—in which she exhibited histrionic power
of a very high order. Her conception of the character
of Beatrice is admirable, and we hope the day is tiot far
distant when we shall have the pleasure of seeing her
embody this delightful Shaksperian creation on the
boards of one of our national theatres. Tho delightful
play of the Tempest was illustrated by the two songs,
"Oh 1 bid your faithful Ariel fly," and " Where the
Bee sucks," the latter of which was deservedly encored.
The second part opened with a critical notice of the
Taming of the Shrew, and a most interesting com-
parison, illustrated by the recitation of parallel passages,
was instituted between this play and Tobin's exquisite
comedy of the Honey Moon. The Merry Wives of
Windsor, and A Midsummer Night's Dream were then
briefly touched upon •, the latter beautiful fairy creation
being illustrated by the song, " Love in Idleness," and
" OVer Hill, over Dale," after which, followed an analysis
of Twelfth Night and The Merchant of Venice. The
comic writers, successors of Shakspeare, down to the
time of Sheridan, were then briefly passed in review, and
returning to Shakspeare, as the basis of comparison, the
fair lecturer concluded by an analysis of that most
delightful of comedies As You Like It, illustrating it by
extracts from the beautiful poetry which the bard has
put into the mouth of Rosalind, which was delivered
with effect, and at the same time so much beauty, and
which exhibited such a thorough appreciation of all the
lights and shadows and delicate tints with
which Shakspeare has worked out that truly
beautiful creation of feminine character, that
we long to see Miss Clara Seyton delineating it as
a whole, " with all appliances and means to boot, " that
can be furnished forth by stage effect, scenery, &c. Her
Rosalind we are convinced must succeed. She was much
applauded throughout, and announced another lecture
for this day week. Between the parts of the lecture
Miss Emily Hudson, a young lady only seven years of
age, performed upon the piano-forte a series of variations
on the air " Alexis Send Ich Dich," in the most brilliant
manner. She exhibited a firmness of touch, and a bril-
liancy of execution truly wonderful, and she does great
credit to her talented instructress. The room was
crowded.

The Assembly next took up an overture from the
Presbytery of Abertarff, setting forth that, as the "num-
ber of parochial and other spiritual charges, now vacant,
in which religious instruction is necessarily communi-
cated through the medium of the Gaelic language, is
still very considerable ; and whereas the number of
licentiates at present in Ito Church, qualified by their
knowledge of that language to discharge the duties of
these cures, is not such as to meet the demand made for
them, great injury to the cause of religion and the
Church must unavoidably ensue from such a state of mat-
ters. It is, therefore, humbly overtured by the Presbytery
of Abertarff to the venerable General Assembly, that
they take measures to remedy this crying evil as
speedily as possible, by expediting the training and li-
censing of probationers speaking the Gaelic language ;
and that, for this purpose, if it seem meet to them, the
venerable Assembly will be pleased to direct that one or
more of the divinity halls and other schools of theology
shall be opened for a session, some time in course of the
summer or autumn of this year ; or to do otherwise in
the circumstances as to them may seem most proper."
Mr. CLARK, of Inverness, supported the overture.
He said the number of preachers was entirely insufficient
to supply the wants of the Highlands ; but it would be
well before the Assembly adopted any resolution on the
subject. that it should be aware of the facts of the case.
It had been said that the cause of the want of
preachers now felt in the Highlands was the divi-
sion which took place last year in the Church; but that
was not the fact. He had been observing, for the last
eight or nine years, that the number of Gaelic preachers
had been gradually decreasing., and that the number
of students who entered the Universities, with a view
to the ministry, were also on the decrease during that
period. This was the fact ; and the cause was, that
during the last eight or nine years, the expense of theo-
logical education had been annually augmented by the
new enactments which had been passed by the Assem-
bly. Had the expenses of a theological education been
as great 20 or 30 years ago as it was now, not one-half
of the ministers in the Highlands would have been able
to enter the ministry at all. He proposed that Vie over
ture be sent to a Committee to inquire into the whole
matter, and to report.
Dr. Hill concurred in the proposal of a Committee to
take into consideration the subject of Gaelic preachers.
He thought the Committee should also be directed to
take into consideration the state of the Church in gene-
ral on this subject. He was satisfied there was much
room for inquiry, and perhaps room also for their taking
certain steps in order to meet the difficulties in which
they would yet be placed. He had occasion, during the
last six weeks, to carry on a large correspondence with
friends throughout the Church ; and he had now to
express his gratitude to them for the kindness with
which they had met his inquiries. This correspondence
would enable hint to lay before a Committee, which was
to be appointed, a mass of information respecting eighty
parishes in the Highlands and Lowlands.
After some further conversation, a Committee was
then adopted to take the subject of the overture into
consideration, and to report.
The PROCURATOR gave in a report from the Law Com-
mittee. Since the last Assembly not fewer than 146
cases had been before the Committee. They had arisen
for the most part out of the disruption of the Church.
and were partly connected with the position of quoad
sacra churches—the principal difficulty being in con
nection with the deeds and constitution of those

FRENCH and ENGLISH COOKERY.
The metropolis of England exceeds that of France in
extent and population ; it commands a greater supply
of all articles of consumption, and contains a greater
number and variety of markets, which are better
supplied. There are also some articles of meat,
and some articles of cookery in which Eng-
land exceeds France. Though we are undoubtedly
inferior to the Gauls in the articles of veal and fowl,
yet we greatly surpass them in mutton, produce better
beef, lamb, and pork, and aro immeasurably superior
both in the quantity and quality of our fish, our venison
and our game. It is in fish, however, that we have
been always most pre-eminent. The turbot brought
to Billingsgate in the last month (March) in
large quantities from the sand-banks, on the
coast of Holland and St. George's Channel, sufficiently
attest our energy and enterprise. The coasts of Holland
and the sea beyond our western coast are as open to the
French as to the British, yet when has any Paris
market disclosed such a supply of fish as may be seen
daily at Billingsgate, even after the hundreds of thou-
sands of retail fishmongers have been supplied ? In a
few soups, such as turtle, which we possess in the
greatest perfection, owing to our colonial trade, and ox
tail, mock turtle, giblet, hare, pea, and mutton broth, we
also surpass the French —but in the making of the
latter admirable broth for invalids, there is still much
to desire at coffee-houses and clubs. We scarcely
know a public establishment where it may be eaten
in perfection, excepting at Brookes's, in St. James's•
street. It were most desirable that wo should learn
how to make a French bouillon or a bit de poule, for
here indeed we are ignorant and at fault. In the boiling
of all plain fish we surpass our neighbours. There is
nothing in Paris equal to a first-rate English turbot,
codfish, haddock, John Dorey, or Southampton water, or
Severn salmon; but we think the sauces used for these
fishes in France infinitely preferable. The French
• certainly beat us in sturgeon cutlets, filets de sole,
and Bechamels of fish. The oysters of Cancale, of
Etretat, of Ostend, and Marenne, are, we freely admit,
superior to the generality of English oysters,
because they are less artificially fed, and have
not their flavour washed away. But if the London
tradesmen would spare their oatmeal and fresh water,
we have no doubt the Milton native oyster would be
found fully equal to its Gallic brother. The Carlingford
and Burren oysters are fully as good. In other shell-
fish also we have a decided superiority. The corpulent,
respectable, full-fed crab is almost unknown to the Gauls,
and they have but a small quantity of lobsters and
prawns, but they cultivate the smaller cray fish in great
quantities, which is not common in England. Ner is
there anything in French cookery equal to our barons
of beef, our noble sirloins, our exquisite haunches,
and saddles, legs, and loins of Southdown mutton ;
oar noble rounds of boiled beef, and those prime
five-guinea haunches of venison which one sees from
June till September, at the establishment of Messrs.
Groves, at Charing-cross and in Bond-street. In cutlets
of all kinds, in fricasees, ragouts, salmis, quenelles, purees
filets, and more especially in the dressing of vegetables,
our neighbours surpass us; but we roast our game more
perfectly, and can hash mutton and venison better than
any one of the myriads of French cooks. In bread, cream,
butter, eggs, whether with reference to size or freshness,
England is not to compare with France; and a French pou-
larch) of La Bresse or du Mans is worth all the Dorking fowl
hatched since the time of the deluge. Though, there-
fore, we admit:that the French cuisine be more luxurious,
more varied, more palateable, more fair and dainty to
look on rather, than our ruder, more simple, more frugal,
and less luxurious kitchen, yet we apprehend our ali-
ments (with the single exception of our vegetables) are
infinitely more nutritious, and, to English stomachs at
least, just as easy of digestion—perhaps, indeed, easier,
than the more refined and recherche fare of our livelier
neighbours.—Foreign Quarter ly Review.

chapels. One of those cases, considered by the Com-
mittee to be the most favourable, was selected for
trial, but their endeavours to bring it forward had
been foiled. The seceding party had brought forward
a case, which was one of the most favourable for them,
and in all probability this case would take the lead.
There were some cases in which interdicts had been ap-
plied for and obtained ; but there others where the par-
ties remained undisturbed, and the churches were still
retained by them. He referred to the importance of this
matter being considered at an early stage. The Com-
mittee had very properly been instructed to give advice
in matters of law in all cases that might arise ; and
they had also been enjoined to give legal protec-
tion in cases where it might be requisite. In this
latter injunction, however, the Assembly passed out of
its province, as the Committee had not a single farthing at
their disposal, and when legal measures were to be adopted
it was necessary for the parties to find the means for
themselves. He then impressed upon the Assembly the
propriety of funds being procured to relieve those Pres-
byteries which had been heavily burdened with ex-
penses, for some Presbyteries had not been burdened at all,
whileothers were led into great expense. The Procurator
then moved that the Assembly should appoint a Com-
mittee to advise with the Procurator, when necessary,
on any question which might have arisen,-or might
arise, with regard to the civic rights of Presbyteries in
parishes and chapels at ease within their bounds.
The motion was unanimously agreed to.
The Assembly adjourned at half-past two.

THE DERBY.

In our paper of Monday last we announced that a
protest had been entered against Running Rein, on the
ground that he is not the horse described in the nomi-
nation ; the objectors were Lord Glasgow, Lord G.
Bentinck, Mr. Bowes, Mr. Ford, Mr. Cookes, Mr. Crock-
ford, and John Scott. On Monday Lord Maidstone en-
tered a protest against him and Leander, and it was
fully expected that both cases would be gone into
on their merits yesterday morning. Such, however,
was not the fact; only the parties connected with
the two horses were called upon, and sufficient evi-
dence adduced by them to warrant the Stewards to
permit them to start. Should either of them win,
the stakes will he withheld, and the stewards will be
prepared. to hear evidence on both sides. The objectors
are anxious that Running Rein should be examined by
a respectable and competent veterinary surgeon, to be
selected by the Stewards, and they are willing that
every horse they may start for either Derby or Oaks
should be submitted to a similar test.
Of betting, we never heard so little on the eve of a
great race ; we can only state, that Ratan retained a
slight call of the Ugly Buck, and that Running Rem, on
its being made public that he would be allowed to start,
sprung to 12 to 1. The general market prices at the
close of the racing, were as under :-
9 to 4 agst Ratan—taken. 20 to 1 agst lonian.
sto 2 agst Ugly Buck--t. 25 to 1 agst Qui Tam.
12 to 1 agst Orlando—t. 20 to 1 agst Akbar—taken.
16 to 1 agst Bay limns— 40 to 1 agst Loadstone—t.
(nominal) 66 to 1 agst Delightful colt,
16 to 1 agst Leander (noml) —ditto.
3,000 to 1,000 was laid agst Ugly Buck at White's on
Monday night, by a Noble Lord who had 'previously
offered 90,000 to 30,000, and meant it
ST. LEGER.
10,000 to 2,000 agst the Ugly Buck—taken:
The Buck, accompanied by Ben-y-Ghlo, arrived about
an hour before the races. Lord Albemarle's Robinia
(Oaks), Lord Exeter's Merope (Oaks), and Wee Pet,
arrived about the same time.

THE " MORNING STAR."—This is the title of a
forthcoming weekly journal, and the words will probably
excite no agreeable feeling in the mind of a certain no-
bleman. The prospectus, which is in keeping with the
title, begins thus:—" The Morning Star will urge upon
these nations the immediate re-acknowledgment of
the judicial laws written down to divine dictation by
Moses, as being the purest and most comprehensive in
principle, and the most economical in practice, of all laws
that hare ever existed, or can, by man, be invented : de-
manding of the people not merely obedience, on their
own part, to these laws for the future, but the full execu-
tion of retributive justice for the past, upon every class
and individual now trampling down or failing to obey
these divine statutes; with the consequent annihilation of
all systems, institutions, and interests not absolutely
consistent with the pure principle of equal justice upon
which these laws are founded." After reading this awful
announcement, we had not courage to look at another
word of the prospectus.
STATE OF THE CROPS IN WEST KENT.—There has
not been experienced, at a corresponding season of the
year, such a continued and (it may be said) so serious a
drought. The land has often been in a drier state, but
this has been at a later period of the year, when the crops
had taken deeper root, and therefore enabled to keep
alive, if not to make growth ; but now many crops are
completely scorched down, " root and rind," to the
bottom. The wheats seldom suffer from want of 11101 -

TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 11i per
mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10id.
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25
44 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short
being 25 51, it follows that gold is 0.54 per cent.
dearer in London than in Paris.

Betting at the West End up to Twelve o'clock las'
night:—

ture in this district, but they are now hoisting the yellow
flag of distress, and the yield must be short, both in
grain and straw. The barleys are suffering severely.
Where sown late they have had no chance to vege-
tate. Oats the same ; and in many instances the
sowing has been posponed, from the stubborn state
of the land, and must be abandoned for this season alto-
gether. The clovers, which at the beginning of March
were unusually good, are in many instances com-
pletely scorched and destroyed ; even on the strong clay
soils the land is so cracked in all directions that the
crops cannot stand. The grass, both in the meadows
and pastures, is looking very unpromising, and the
crops of hay must be short. The hop bine is growing
fast and looking well. Fruit is also showing
a good blossom, especially cherries and apples; there is
here and there appearance of blight, but this is by no
means general or extensive. The lambing season has proved
the most prosperous ever remembered by the oldest shep-
herds; the fall iv. Romney-marsh, and, indeed, through-
out the whole district, has been numerous, and the wea-
ther continues so fine that they have thrived rapidly on
a comparatively small portion of food. The meat mar-
kets remain dull, and the prices are not satisfactory nor
remunerating to the graziers. The corn markets are
steady, with a slight inclination upwards. Labour is
scarce and many hands unemployed, fur even the weeds
have ceased to grow.
TAUNTON.—THE LATE McnnEns.--We are in.
formed that those abandoned women, Mary and Faith
Sealy, who left Wilton Gaol a few days ago accom•
panied by the governor, to proceed to one of our sea-
ports, whence they have since embarked for Australia,
contested to him that they had committed the murders
with which they severally stood charged. Faith stated
that she poisoned her father, and that her confession
made before the coroner (and in which she declared
that she had seen her sister mix the arsenic with the
food given him) was false, she (Faith) having herself
prepared the food for him, and mixed the poison with it.
Mary Sealy, too, confessed to having murdered her aunt
under the circumstances described at the trial. More
horrible cases of depravity have, perhaps, seldom been
heard. [And twenty-four greater blockheads than the
two juries who acquitted these women have seldom been
sworn in a court of justice. The evidence in each case
left no reasonable ground of any doubt whatever as to
the guilt of the prisoners.]—Somerset County Gazette.

EXECUTIONS FOR MURDER.—On Friday John
Hickey was executed at Nenagh, for conspiring to murder
'Thomas Hanaley ; and at the same time and place John
Cooke paid the forfeit of his life for the murder of a man named
Nolan.—lrish Paper.

By advises from Hamburgh the price of gold is 436 I
per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10id.
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 104;
and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short
being 13 10i, it follows that gold is 0.17 per cent.
dearer in Hamburgh than in London.
The course of exchange at New York on London is
108 i per cent., and the par of exchange between_o_Eng-
land and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows
that the exchange is 0.83 per cent. against England.
But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills
at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from
the above difference.
SUN.—English Securities leave off firm, and al-
though not an extensive business has been done, most of
them are rather higher. Consols 99i to 99g. The New
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. 102 i to 102- ; the Reduced
1011 to 101/1 ; and the Three per Cents. 981 to 98i ;
Bank Stock 193 to 195, and East India Stock 285 to 286.
Spanish Bonds were supported at the improvement of
the morning, but the other foreign investments were
flat. Spanish Actives were 24f to 24-4- ; and the Three
per Cents. 35* to 351 ; Mexican Bonds were 35-1 to
35k ; Buenos Ayres 34, and Colombian 14i- to 14.
The additional transactions in Railway Shares have
been these:—Bristol and Gloucester were ISi-; Eastern
