LOSS OF THE LADY SCOTT.

Foreii,vmoffice, Nov. 5,1844.
Sir,—l am directed by the Earl of Aberdeen to ac-
quaint you, for the information of dal Committee of
Lloyd's, that a dispatch has been this moriiing received
from her Majesty's Minister at St. Petersburg.`., inclos-
ing a copy of a letter, addressed to him on the 22d of
October, by the French Charge d'Affaires at the Court
of Russia, from which it appears, that on the 17th of
September last, the French schooner La Dorade, Cap-
tain Morvau, off Dagervert, in the Gulf of Finland, fell
in with the British ship Lady Scott, of Liverpool, Capt.
D. Glenday, laden with salt and cotton, when that vessel
was on the point of sinking. On the French vessel bearing
down towards the Lady Scott; Captain Morvau observed
near the latter a Dutch galliot, which seemed to be en-
gaged in affording assistance, and a short time after-
wards he perceived a boat pulling towards him making
signals of distress. Captain Morvau bore down to the
boat, and received on board six men, much exhausted by
fatigue and cold, and brought them to Cronstadt, where
he arrived in six days from the ship. I am, &c.,
(Signed) H. M. ADDINGTON.

TROTTING MATCH FOR FIFTY POUNDS.—OH Tues-
day the trotting match between Mr. James's bay gelding
and Mr. Martin's black mare, to trot twenty miles in
harness, came off over four miles of ground On Mitchana-
common ; the usual conditions and rules of trotting were
to be complied with. In betting the mare was the
favourite, and was backed to a large amount; the horses,
harnessed to match-carts, came up to the starting mark,
and at the signal went away at a smart pace, and per-
formed the first mile in three minutes and thirty-two
seconds, when owing to the noise made by the spectators
riding alongside, the mare became restive, and broke six
times in the first four miles. At the conclusion of ten
miles the gelding was half a mile in advance, and per-
formed the distance in thirty-six minutes; they were
then pulled in and refreshed, and in six minutes resumed
their work. At the eighteenth mile the mare appeared
quite competent to the distance, but the gelding seemed
distressed, and was pulled up. The mare completed the
distance, and won the stakes. The twenty miles was
accomplished in one hour and eighteen minutes.
GREAT FOOT-RACE FOR FORTY PouNDB.—Yes -
terday the long-pending match between East and Turner
came off near the King's Arms, Acton-bottom. Both
men have acquired great celebrity, and the race attracted
upwards of 2,000 spectators. The contesting distance
was twenty miles; and, preliminaries arranged, the men
started, and concluded ten miles nearly together. At
~.zred somewhat distressed,
the fourteenth mile East app
while Turner contested with appaiznt confidence. At
the eighteenth mile East had recovered, ,2d Turner was
quite exhausted and relinquished the coatest. East con-
cluded the remaining distance and won the match. The
twenty miles were accomplished by the winner in three
hours and twenty-five minutes, fair toe and heel walk.
In betting Turner was the favourite, and large sums of
money were transferred on this occasion.
PHYSIOLOGY or THE PASSIONS. Yesterday the
first of a course of twelve lectures on this interesting
subject was delivered by Dr. Millingen at the Western
Scientific and Literary Institution, 47, Leicester-square.
The first point treated on was the mental faculties and
their powers. Dr. Millingen certainly has had the best
opportunities of observing the human mind, both in a
natural and diseased state, from the fact of his having
been the resident physician of the Hanwell Lunatic
Asylum for a considerable period, and he treated the
subject in a masterly manner. He inculcated the idea
that the study of the human mind is not a matter of
mere useless curiosity, but a study of great utility., and
calculated to be of considerable benefit to society if pro-
perly and impartially followed out. He attributed the
diversity of opinion and inconsistency which is some
times observable in the ancient philosophers to the fact
that they did not attempt to assist each other in the
study, but, by pitting their opinions against each other,
produced angry arguments, while the original questions
were lost sight of ; and also to the fact that many of
them, especially Plato, went upon data incidental to the
superstition of the age, and, of course, produced fallacious
theories. The:lecture was delivered clearly, and almost
entirely free from scientific technicalities, and was en-
livened here and there by anecdotes, which served admi-
rably to illustrate the lecturer's meaning. The atten-
dance was not very numerous, but was certainly select.
ROBBERY AT T. VINIBETII CRAPE L.—Yesterday
morning early, or late on Tuesaay night, some thieves
entered Lambeth Chapel, and abstracted all the Commu-
nion, Service plate and other valuable property.
