EPSOM RACES.

YESTERDAY.

The showery state of the weather intile-morning increased
the apathy that invariably follows the Derby day, thinned the
attendance down to a handful, and deprived a most excellent
day's sport of all its interest. The running commenced at
half-past two, and from the number of heats into which the
plates were spun, did not terminate until six. The following
is a sketch of their results :
Sweepstakes of 10 sovs. each, h It, with 50 added ; 3 yrs old,

Rochester, 3 yrs (allowed 9lbs) ; Mr. King's Dahlia, 5 yes
(allowed 21Ibs). No betting. Rochester took the lead at a
good pace, and with Folly at his heels made the running to the
turn where both gave way ; Miss Fidget and Teetotaller took
their places and made a capital race home, the colt winning by
a head; Revision and Vibration were up at the finish.

The first heat was closely contested by Finchley, The
Traitor, and That's-the-time-of-day, and was won by about a
neck. Second heat—Lady Mary made all the play, but ran
out near the cords, and was beaten by a length. Finchley did
not go for the heat. Third heat.—Finchley cut out the work
to the distance, where he was passed by the other two. An
indifferent run in ended in favour of That's-the-time-of-day, by
a length.

LEVANT: MAIL.

CONSTANTINOrLE MAY 7.- —lt appears at last to be pretty
well decided that Ashkar Pacha, the Governor of Tripoli, in
Barbary, whose conduct kr: rL long time past can hardly have '
given satifaction to his C ourt, is about to be removed. Lord
Ponsonby, long before he left this embassy, had to make known
to the Porte severe comp) aidts against his tyranny and corrup-
tion, and on several occat ions it 'was thought that he would be
put down ; but the Por to had enough of other matters on its
hands at the time, and h e remained fer a more favourable op-
portunity, which has non v, they say, occurred. Azmi Bey, whe
went to Tripoli, with funds to pay the troops, on his ,return
b.rought with him a rept •esentation, signed by some of the principal
people of the regency, (nig:aging that, if Ashkar Pacha were
recalled and replaced by a Governor collecting the revenue
on fixed principles, the: v undertook that it should amount
annually to 40,000 pus ses (200,0001.) which would, after
the expenses of administration were retained there, yield
the Porte a handsome s' urplus to go into the Treasury, in-
stead of drawing large ;ums from it, as heretofore, and the
Government, who could not be averse to this salutary eco-
nomy, has taken the is atter upon the footing recommended.
I have heard that Si id Pacha, of Adrianople, has been in-
vited to Constantinoplp, where, it is possible, he may be made
even • mushir of the y ,glace, in the place of the Riza Pacha,
whose health, though he is young, is materially suffering. He
will be sent elsewhere for "change of air." Some speak of
the change of Ries Effendi ; Sarim Effendi, the present in-
cumbent, being ",too.. much of a Turk" to agree well with the
anti-Turkish Frank enbassie . The Sultan is undoubtedly
acquiring great firninevs of character. He has declared that
he is determined to emu borate the state of his country, morally,
fmaneially, and political ly, and to this end will devote the major
part of his private revel rue.
The Custom-house of Constantinople is up at auction, and
although it has never yet rendered the Porte more than
oti3OtiO purses annually; , already are 80,000 purses bid for
. it.
T
his would yield a difiii rence of about 120,0001. a year in favour
of the Government, 'iv hich, in addition to their profits, the
contractors are to rep/lace by the prevention of smuggling.
The affair, if thus 4eci s led on, will be a grand thing to the
fair traders, at the li ead of whom are certainly our own
countrymen here. C. ntraband will still take. place, but not
to the enormous extra it that has existed hitherto. It was
quite time to see a stop. put to it. Another point has still to
be looked to, viz.: the. atlvant ages enjoyed by the Russian mer-
chants over others by the pa ”nent of higher duties and supe-
rior protection. Whilst other traders have for some time past
been losing money, or, at b est, hardly making head against
their current moderate expel tses, the Russians flourish extra-
ordinarily.. I mild mention the instance of a hessian pro-
tege at Adrianople. who, in a short period, has realised 8,000/.
or 10,000., whilst his less rtunate neighbours are all drop-
ping into the background. They pay duties on silk, and so
doei he, but less by 18 past/ es per oke, or exceeding 10 per
cent. on the present value. •Dn other goods he has equal ad-
vantages, and besides enjoyssa protection which knocks down all
