ANTI-REPEALER.

Nothing decisive bas, transpired with respect to this horse's
nomination • but from inquiries we have made, there is great
reason to believe that he was named by the Capt. Williams,
whose death was announced about ten days ago, and, there-
fore, disqualified from_starting for the Derby.
It is essential fur those who have bets on the Derby and
Oaks to bear in mind that Thursday next is comparing day ;
the necessity of attending to this cannot be too strongly en-
forced.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In the first page of the Salisbnry Journal (now in my
possession), dated Monday, June 7th, 1756, is the following an.
nouncement :—" We hear that in a few days a gentleman is to
perform an experiment before his Royal Highness the Duke of
Cumberland, his Grace the Duke of Marlborough, and Lord
Anson, of an invention of the great Marquis of Worcester, but
highly improved by himself, which is of a composition to be fired
from a cannon, and can be thrown ten miles, by which be proposes,
by being stationed in a ship at the mouth of any harbour, to
destroy every ship in it."—Yours respectfully,
Newport, Isle of Wight, May 19, 1845

AN IMPORTANT NEW WORK.—We learn that Mr.
Bentley has in the press, and will publish in the course of a very
few days, a new work by the Hon. Richard Rush, consisting of an
account of his embassy at the Court of London, from 1819 to 1825,
which embraces the negotiations of the important questions con.
netted with Oregon, the Boundary Line, Free Navigation of the
St. Lawrence, Right of Search, &c. Connected with these grave
and important matters, the work abounds with anecdotes and
conversations of the statesmen and wits of the day. The pro.
trracted negotiations, It may be remembered, were carried on with
Lord Castlereagh, Mr. Canning, Mr. Huskisson, &c. The work is
a second series of Mr. Rush's " Residence in London," published
some years since.
Mr. Wilson continues his entertainments at the
Music Hall with undiminished success. Last night he gave
" Anither Nicht wi' Burns," being a sequel to the former " Nicht,"
all the songs of which were sung and acted with this favourite vo-
calist's usual thrilling style. He announced that his " Morning
Entertainments," at the Queen's Concert Rooms, commence to-
niorrow, where he had such f tshionable audiences last leason i we
doubt not but they will be equally successful this time.

THE SUPPOSED MURDER NEAR IiANIPSTEAD.
Mrs. Cunningham, the wife of the unfortunate man who was
found dead in a ditch at Hampstead, states that when he left home
on Thursday evening he had with him a pair of silver spectacles,
which he purchased at Mr. Woodward's, the optician, of Clement's
lnn-passage, and gave 28s for them. As neither these nor his
hat have as yet been found, it strengthens the suspicions that some
foul play has been practised towards him. Shorly before. he was
last seen by h's friends, he called at the shop of his employer, Mr.
Moady, of the Strand, and inquired respecting a coat which he
had to make, promising shortly to return. Although he was
noticed by several peisons in the neighbourhood of Hampstead
upon the Friday afternoon, he is known to have bee's seen in com-
pany with two men in Russell-square, as late as half.past eight on
the same evening; at that time he had a small stick with him, and
was apparently the worse for liquor. His master, by whom he
had been employed between thirteen and fourteen years, gives him
a most excellent character. Deceased was a native of Yarmouth,
and has left a widow and two children, the eldest a boy about
twelve years of age. _

A correspondent states that the Rev. Dr. Collyer
has presented a donation of 5/. to that valuable institution the
Metropolitan Benefit Societies Asylum, in which Lord Robert
Grotninor takes 10 wum an interot.
