The river presented a most animated appear-
ance, from the great number, of individuals passing up
and down the Thames, between London and Woolwich„
in the steamers and craft. The steam-boat wharfs, atiha.
Adelphi, litingerford-market, Loridon-bridge'
,and Vrap4
ping, were besieged at an early, hour bythei:ozidotietiki'
waiting for the steamers, and. each,veesallleft tratometl
with bipeds, who were sowed away, t?f,Fle4 and.;n tee
cabins. On. their Arrival at Wootmeh, all bore towards
,the Common and Arsenal, and'the town itself was very
full of visitors. The Waterman's Steam-packet Com-
pany's vessels landed 15,000 passengers during the day
bet Ween the Adelphi pier and Woolwich ; and an extra
boat, the Vivid, engaged by the Waterman's Company,
conveyed upwards of 2,000 persons to and from the TA..
rious piers, between nine and six o'clock. After the re-
view and embarkation of the King of Prussia the rush of
people towards the Waterman's pier, at Woolwich, was
tremendous ; and Waterman No 2 actually took away
500 passengers at one trip, and the numbers would have
been increased if the captain had not let go the ropes,
and ordered the engines to go a-head. There was no
material accident during the day, and the utmost har-
mony and good humour prevailed.
MR. GURNEY'S DERBY ACCOUNT.—A meet-
ing of the Jockey Club was held on Saturday by appoint
meat, at the Thatched House Tavern, to take into con-
sideration the statement submitted by the managers of
Mr. Gurney's Epsom account to the Stewards of the
Jockey Club, in which their memorandum, dated
Woburn, Oct. 13, (declaring their opinion that the mana-
gers had faithfully and honourably discharged their
trust) was founded, but which statement, and conse-
quently, the memorandum, were impugned, on the ground
that some of the creditors were still unpaid. The Club
sat in discussion from three o'clock until nearly seven,
and came to two decisions—one confirming the decisions
of the Stewards, and the other, ordering that all parties
indebted to Mr. Gurney should be forthwith summoned
before the Stewards to show why they had not paid,
and that, on failing payment, they should be looked upon
as defaulters. The proceedings were ordered to be ad-
vertised in the Morning papers. The attendance in-
cluded the Stewards, Hon. G. Anson, Duke of Bedford,
and Hon. G. S. Byng, Duke of Richmond, Marquis of
Normanby, Lords Stradbroke, Albemarle, G. Bentinck,
J. Fitiroy, Wilton, C. Manners, Mr. J. Shelley, Hon.
Captain Rous, Colonel Peel, Messrs. Greiville, Payne,
Irby, Shelley, Bowes, S. Stanley, and about a dozen other
members.

The rock to be avoided by Corn-law repealers
is, the giving way to some tempting overture of a fixed
duty, or a more moderato
_sliding scale. Too many
were enamoured of Lord John Russell's eight shillings
duty. Any duty upon the first article of human exist-
ence is a gross injustice. An eminent agriculturist dis-
poses of the sliding scale, and proposes a duty of 10s.
per quarter, to diminish Is. each year, and to stand at
ss. This is simple enough, but it begins with proposing
that the poverty-stricken people of this country shall
-piy twenty-six millions of money in such seasons as the
present, more thaw they ought to pay for their food.—
