ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

Coldrenick was in some demand at 5 to 2 in the early
part of the afternoon. These odds were not current, but,
towards the close, when the result of his trial this morn-
ing became known in the room, 3 to 1 was laid in hun-
dreds; he left off, in our opinion, with anything but an
upward look. He is a good horse, but not so good as the
stable has hitherto booked him to be. Attila commenced
at 3 to 1 offered; hedging bets were made at 7 to 2 taken
freely. We fully expect to see him again in his old posi-
tion—first favourite.

To our fancy the pet of the day was Canadian: 10 to
was laid, afterwards 8 to 1 was taken in hundreds, and
the takers would have gone on; his starting price can-
not exceed 5 to 1 ; and we expect to find him there or
thereabout on the 25th inst. Auckland left off at 7to 1,
layers, offered in hundreds by an Influential. It will
not surprise us to see his stable companions beat him
in their places. Tiptoe, Chatham, and Lasso, were in
favour with their respective parties, but the Agreeable
colt, whose trial has been highly satisfactory to his
owner, was in great demand ; as little as 16 to 1 was
taken—the last offers were 18 to 1.

Much business is done on the Sunday preceding the
great event, as the Provincials muster strong, each
backing a private opinion from information, or fancy,
and the thermometer rising to fever heat. Secrets that
have been kept till the eleventh hour break forth ;
and if there be a Clipper in the back ground, he
comes with a rush. Such a one we do not expect
to show, but whatever changes may take place—and they
will surely do so—on Monday your readers shall be put
in possession of the facts.

the Maid, 5 yrs, ist 21b. Betting-7 to 2on Alice
Hawthorn. There were two false starts, in the first of
which Alice Hawthorn and David ran a considerable
distance before they could be stopped ; in the second,
Alice Hawthorn went by herself to the road, thus losing
all chance of winning. In- the actual race David took
the lead, made nearly all the running, and won cleverly
by three parts of a length, Collina beating Alice by two
lengths.

The General Steam Navigation Company's British
steam-ship Wilberforce, Captain I. Stranach, landed her
passengers at Brunswick Wharf, Blackwall, yesterday
morning, eighteen hours and a-half after her departure
from Antwerp. The same Company's Rotterdam packet
Columbine landed her mails and passengers half an hour
afterwards.

Lord Alfred Hervey, M.P., has gone to Clifton
Hotwells for the improvement of his health. His Lord-
ship caught cold during his canvass at Brighton, and
has been far from well since the election.

BERVIE.—On Sabbath last a rather unusual scene
took place in the parish church. In consequence of the
minister having intimated a fortnight previously, that
he would on the above day proceed to the election of
three additional elders—namely, William Duthie, farmer,
Hillhead ; James Brown, farmer, Newbigging ; and
Walter Freeman, jun., whitefisher, Gourdon—a paper
numerously signed by parishioners, objecting to the
mode of their election, was, on Saturday last, lodged
with the reverend gentleman. We do not know what
value was attached to the document ; but a few minutes
before the bell was rung on Sabbath, the Kirk-officer
gave notice that if any person had any objection to the
proposed election, to lodge them in the manse. The
minister then entered the church, and, after the usual
preliminary services, delivered a short address from
Titus i. 5. He afterwards read an act relative to Kirk
Sessions and the election of elders, stating that 'the pre-
sent session had the power of electing the new. The
three intended elders were then asked to stand up, when
the usual questions were put. Mr. Glegg was about to
complete the ceremony by prayer, when Mr. William
Burness, in a firm and audible voice, read the following
document :—" I object to the proceedings of the Kirk
Session in making these men elders, as being unscrip-
tural, unreasonable, and unjust. I protest in the name of
the congregation, to the proceedings of this day ; and
appeal to the Synod." After which, the minister
prayed ; and on leaving the pulpit to congratulate the
elders on their pretended election, Mr. Burness stept up
to the desk and lodged the above protest; took the instru-
ments in the hands of the Session-clerk, and demanded
a copy of the minutes. The minister, on re-ascending
the pulpit, delivered a short address, and declared the
elders solemnly ordained.—Montrose Review.
CHURCH-nArE SEIZURES.—Mr. Drew, the Vestry-
Clerk of Allhallows, with Brand, the constable from the
Mansion•house, yesterday entered the premises of
Messrs. Cooper and Co., Laurence-Pountney-lane, and
by virtue of a warrant from the Lord Mayor seized a
quantity of beaver fur to the value of 30/. The seizure
was for Church-rates, and towards the stipend of the
Rev. James William Bellamy, Rector of the —united
parishes of St. Mary Abchurch and St. Laurence-
Pountney, and Head Master of the Merchant Taylors'
Grammar-school, and for the Bet,. William St. Andrew
Vincent, Rector of the united parishes of Allhallows the
Great and Less, Vicar of Bolney, Sussex, and Prebend
of Chichester Cathedral,

In the list of the guests at her Majesty's fancy ball,
which was given by the Court Newsman on Friday last,
it was stated that the various members of the Fitzcla-
rence family were present. This was not the case, for
although honoured by her Majesty's command, the invi-
tation was gratefully declined.

The Anii de rthylre of Arlon, in Belgium, contains
the following:—" The agent of the General Cashier at
Arlon absconded on the 9th instant, leaving :a deficit
amounting, it is said, to about 250,000 francs, which can
be traced to three years back, but has hitherto been con-
cealed by illicit means."
