The Livery lists have not been entered upon by the
Reformers this year, in consequence of the great ex-
pense always incurred in effecting the service of the
notices of objection. The Tories seem to have been
deterred by the same, or some equally cogent reason,
as they have made only 170 objections and 18 claims.
In the householders' list the total number of claims
is 229, of which 121 'have sought the support of the
Reformers. The total number of objections is 623.
of which 155 are made by the Reformers. The To-
ries state, their objections to amount to 518 ; which
shows that there are 50 to whom both parties object.
The influence of this revision must be very slight
upon a register of upwards of 20,000 names ; but the
Reformers may congratulate themselves upon a very
large increase of registered Liberal electors as the re-
sult of, their efforts last year, when numerous claims
were made in almost every parish throughout the
City, which have this year been inserted in the lists
by the overseers.
Mr. Mansey appeared on behalf of the Reformers,
and Mr. Marr for the Conservatives.
The REVISING BARRISTER announced his intention
of first proceeding with the lists of the Liverymen, and
afterwards taking the lists of the parishes in their
alphabetical order.
The remainder of the dap was occupied in receiving
the lists from the various overseers.

WESTMINSTER ItEGISTRATION.
(THIS DAY.)
James Standford Taylor claimed to be registered
in respect of a workshop situated at No. 2, Maccles-
field-street.

It appeared from the evidence of the claimant, that
he was a journeyman engraver, and occupied a room
at the top of the house in Macclesfield-street. There
was a •bench in the room, on which he worked. He
paid 101. a year rent, and had claimed to be rated.
In cross-examination by Air. SCORE, the claimant
stated that he would swear the room was worth 101. a
year to the trade, or 6s. a week. The bench in the
room was a fixture.

Mr. SCORE then addressed the Court at consider-
able length. He contended that it was never contem-
plated by the Legislature to give the elective fran-
chise to a man occupying an attic of this kind at
101. a year, where he ate, drank, slept, and had a
board upon.which he worked. If that were allowed,
every journeyman mechanic who could sharpen his
tools in the room where he lived would claim to enjoy
the elective franchise. Then, with regard to the
value, the claimant stated that the place was worth
101. a year to him, and when pressed as to the weekly
value, he said it was worth 6s. a week to .the trade.
Now, the Court decided last year that ss. 6d. a. week
was not equal to 101. a year, and, no doubt, the deci-
sion of the Court was a correct one ; but how was
this room worth 101. a year to the claimant ? simply,
because there were fixtures in it, tenant's fixtures,
which augmented the value, and this room was only
worth 101. a year to the trade, because there was a
bench in it on which the trade could work.
Mr. TROTT, for the claimant, contended that the
Legislature did intend such men as him to have a
vote. The Legislature had put quite a sufficient re-
straint upon men'of this class, because they said that
the premises must be worth 10/. a year ;and it surely
was not for that Court to go beyond what
the Legislature intended. Now, with regard to the
situation of the premises, did the Legislature
mean that a roojn of any value, however great, be-
cause it was situated in a particular part of the
house, was not to confer the franchise ? That cer-
tainly never could have been the meaning of the Act,
and lie apprehended that Mr. Score would not have
raised the question as to the description of the pre-
mises, had they paid a rental of 401. or 50/. a year.
He maintained that this room was a " shop," such as
was meant by the Act of Parliament ; and if it were
not a shop, at any rate it was a " building."
Mr. Score briefly replied.; and the Learned Bar-
rister said, in so important a case, he must take
time to consider his judgment.

MARYLEBONE REGISTRATION.
(THIS DAY.)

The revision of the registration of electors for the
borough of Marylebone was commenced this morn-
ing at ten o'clock, in the Court-house, Marylebone-
lane, Oxford-street, by Mr. Alfred Austin, the newly-
appointed Revising Barrister.'
The gross number of objections, Liberal and Tory,
is 1,429; and as the total of new claims amounts to
184, it is supposed that the examination of the lists
will occupy some weeks; the agents of the two poli-
tical parties in the borough—Mr. Greenwood for the
Conservatives, and Messrs. Ivimey and Allen for the
Liberals—seem to have agreed upon a course which
will tend to save time and annoyance to all burgesSes,
who have either to claim their suffrages or rebut ob-
jections ; those gentlemen (the agents on both sides)
having agreed to raise no trivial or captious questions
upon technical points, and mutually to admit the no.,
tices and other documents put in.
Mr. Austin takes at this Court the cases arising in
the parish of Marylebone, in the five districts' of
which the lists of claims and objections stand as fol-
lows ;—Claims, Reformers, 25 ; Tories, 38; others,
B—Total, 71. Objections, Reformers, 246 ; Tories,
361 ; others, 321—Total, 928.

•
The cases which were decided this morning were
for the most part unimportant. A case where the col-
lector refused to receive the amount of taxes due, be-
cause part of the money tendered was in light sove-
reigns, although the deficiency was offered in other
coin, thei Barrister put the claimant 'on the list, ob-
serving that, notwithstanding the Queen's proclatna-
tion on the subject of the light coin, her tax-collector
could not -refuse her coin as a legal tender.

IRON VEssir.S.---There are now in the iron ship-
building-yard of Mr. John Laird, of. North Birkenhimd.
two vessels of rather singular construction. The first
vessel is intended for a floating-light for: the entrance of
the Mersey. It is much longer than the present light-
ships, and is expected to have less motion, even in a rough
sea, than the short wood vessels now in use. It will be
ready for sea in about two months. The second vessel
is building for the Honourable the East India Company.
It is intended for a pilot-boat 'in the Hoogley. like
our pilot.boats, which are small, it is of two hundred
tons burthen, and of more than ordinary breadth of beam.
Its interior is to be completely finished in Liverpool. In
the hold Will be large tanks for holding water, with
which, it appears, the pilot-boats 'on the' Calcutta. station
always go to sea, that, in the event of falling in With
ships short of water, they may supply them with so in-.
dispensable an article. The cabin will be a spacious
apartment, lofty and well-ventilated, with berths all
round for the pilots. We need scarcely add, after the
heading of this paragraph, that, except the decks and
the cabins, these vessels are wholly built of iron. They
are well worth the inspection of all who take an interest
in naval architecture.---,Liverpoo/ Albion. .
The Marquis of Breadalbane has forwarded one.
capercailzie, one blackcock, three red grouse, and three
hares,•shot by Prince Albert, on the 9th instant, on the
braes of Taymouth, to. Mr. Carfrae, of Edinburgh, to be
stuffed. The capercailzie. is a remarkably tine specimen
of that rare bird. •
AWFULLY SUDDEN. DEATIL—David Lewis, a la.
bourer on the Dowlais wharf, Cardiff, was employed
as usual on Monday last, weighing iron, when he was,
suddenly seized, as by a- fit, and instantly fell. Some.
of his felloW-workmen immediately ran to his as-
sistance, but were horror-struck to find the poor
fellow a corpse. He was a married man, aged from
50 to 60 years, and has left a widow and several
children.— Cambrian.
SUICIDE OF A YOUTH.--On Sunday last a ,youth,
of the name of Richards, terminated his existence by
hanging himself. An inquest was held on the body on
Tuesday, and from the evidence then given, it appeared
that his mother, who is a widow, was extremely destitute
in cireurostances, which had so much preyed on his mind
that it produced temporary insanity, in which he de-
stroyed himself, and a verdict was returned to that
effect—Staffordshire Examiner.

THE MARKETS.--(THIS DAY.)
COLONIAL MARKET.
There was a fair business done in this market with
little change in prices.. B. P. Sugar was not lower.
For Mauritius and Bengal firmer prices were sus-
tained. In the Coffee Market there was little busi-
ness done ; Ceylon still declining 675. for good ordi-
nary ; Cocoa neglected ; Rice was not quite so brisk ;
Saltpetre much the same as previously ; in Cotton
holders kept up the prices.
WHITECHAPEL.
The Market was abundantly supplied with Hay
and Clover, and the demand good. For fine and
middling qualities of Straw the supply continues
very limited, at an advance of ls..per load. Clover,
2/. 12s. to 51. 10s.; Hay, 2/. 10s.; Straw, 1/. 13s. to
1/. 17s.

TEA MARKET.

The sales of Tea opened with fine spirit. The
bidding continued animated throughout the day, and
a large proportion was sold at very full prices.
TALLOW MARKET.

The demand for this article was again heavy; and
48s. to 48s. 3d. was the quotation• on: the spot for
P. Y. Candle, and 475,.9d. for fOrward'delivery, ,
PROVISION MARKET.

Fine Trish Butter continued in good request at
90s. to 925., and Foreign Butter was also sought
after. BaQon was dull, but prices were steady.

AN HONEST MAN.—Some dayS since a gr?up
containing portraits of Fleury and Desplaces was ab-
stracted from the case . containing specimens of .M.
Claudet's Daguerreotype at the Adelaide. Gallery. M.
Claudet having previously missed a portrait of one of
her Majesty's horses, by advertisetnent offered a reward
of ten guineas for the detection of the appropriator. On
Saturday a parcel, containing the missing portraits of
the " dancers " was delivered to M. Claudet, accom-
panied by a letter signed "A. 8.," in which the writer
stated that he had purchased the plate from a man in
Holborn, and that " as he was anxious not to. have stolen
property found in his possession, he had returned it." Of
the latter fact there can be.ne doubt in the world.
SICKNESS AMONG THE MARINES AT WOOLWICik.—
Titere' have been numerous cases
.of dysentery among
the Marines who are stationed at Woolwich. There are
now about sixty'in the Military Hospital, of 'whom dur-
ing the last few days two have died. The attacks are
severe. It is supposed by the surgeons that the com-
plaint, which is chiefly among those who have come
from Syria, has been lingering in them from the time of
leaving that country.
LElTH.—Great quantities of grain, chiefly wheat
and barley; are still coming in from foreign ports, as
well as British. The Prinz Albert, from Weimar, ar-
rived on Tuesday with 1,230 quarters of wheat. Same
day the Pitho, from Stettin, with 1.326 ditto ditto. The
grain brinight coastwise is principally from Kirkaldy,
Dundee, Dunbar, &c. Within the last three days Up-
ward's of 2,000 barrels of herrings have arrived from the
various fishing stations ; these are rapidly.being shipped
for foreign markets, twelve vessels beim: already nearly
loaded with coals, herrings, and other British prodUce,

Mr. W. H. Bodkin, the Old Bailey barrister, and
now the 'fury M.P. for Rochester, was originally a fur-
niture broker in the parish, and made his first essay as a
public speaker in • St. James's Church, ClerkenWell.
[The Editor of the Warwick Advertiser can vouch for
the truth of the statement as to Mr. Bodkin, who was
also an auctioneer, in partnership with h's father, Mr.
Peter Bodkin ; their shop and auction-room being near
the turnpike-gate, on Islington Green. The Editor very
distinctly remembers telling the clever young auctioneer
(whose evident talents attracted his particular attention)
on his descending from his rostrum; with the hammer in
his hand, that he ought to be at the bar, holding a britf,
rather than the auction-hammer, and that he was wast-
ing the intellect with which nature had endowed him for
higher purposes. Ile more than once pressed this upon
him—little thinking he would become the future eminent
barrister, the Learned Recorder of Dover, and Member
for Rochester Warwick Advertiser.

I venture to say (said Colonel Salwey in address-
ing his constituents and friends, assembled) that the
feeling which has induced you to reward my services
so far beyond my merits,. is -highly honourable to
yourselves, because it proves that a fearless and
steady adherence to principle is more valued in your
estimation than abilities or talents of the most splen-
did order. I endeavoured during my career in Par-
liament to follow out those.principles which induced
you to honour me with your confidence, and to elect
me as your- representative -in- 18s7. I trust I have
not betrayed that -confidence.' When I see wealthy
candidates running from one constituency to 'another,
invading freedom of election, polluting the fingers of
voters N% ith bribes, and wasting thousands upon thou-
sands in corrupting and demoralizing the people, I
confess it does appear to me that such
men can have but one object in view—that
of making Parliament a stepping-stone to their own
aggrandizement, and seeking their own elevation in life.
The glorious result of the election of 1837 is still
fresh in the memory of every one here present, in-
spiring the reformers of Ludlow, and every-friend -to
civil and religious liberty, with enthusiastic hopes for
the future. On the removal of my then Noble Col-
league to the House of Lords in 1839, the field was
again open for another contest, and I shall ever con-;
sider that the course pursued at that -election -struck
a most heavy and disastrons blow at the Liberal
interests of this borough.--(Cheers.) A system of
unparalleled bribery was then introduced by the one
side, and I regret to add, at length adopted by the
other, - and this evidence of gross political
prostitution being laid before Parliament, a void
election was the natural and inevitable result.
The stormy debates and frequent divisips which en-
sued in Parliament against issuing the' writ will not
be readily erased from the memory of those more
immediately interested. Should any stranger be de--
sirous of informing himself of the baneful influence
and demoralising tendency of such a system of elec-
tion, let him open the pages of the Blue Book. of
Evidence taken before the Ludlow Committed, -and I
would especially draw his attention to the Dinham
House scenes, as strongly emblematical of Tory
mctieS. - Ludlow had :now obtained an unenviable
notoriety. The contest of 1840 was, however, looked
forward to as one which would redeem the character
of the borough. The Reformers unanimously re-
solved to mark their abhorrence of the late disrepu-
table proceedings, and try the issue of public prin-
ciple against corruption. The dissolution of Parlia-
ment took place, and never, at any general election
-were you called upon to move in a cause so
peculiarly affecting the interests of the people.
You again determined- not to swerve from the paths
of purity and honour ; but the basest and most open
corruption defeated all our efforts,- and Ludlow now
sends to Parliament two monopolists —followers
of the most unprincipled band of apostates that ever
seized the reins of this or any other Government.
And yet this was Commemorated as a great and
triumphant victory ! A triumph over what ? A
triumph of political profligacy over political truth—of
fraud and hypocrisy over honour and independence!

Ludlow Liberals perform their duty—out-numberedyoetf found 156,

INCENDIARY FIRE, AT BRADFIELD ST. GEORGE
About eleven o'clock on 'Wednesday
night, a fire was
discovered on the
premises of Mrs. Laite, of Bradfield
St. George, the barn, which stood alOngside the road,
being completely enveloped in flames. Besides a large
quantity of wheat and corn the little stable, in which
was a pony, burnt to death ; two sows,
in pig, were
both burnt to death, and a
number of fowls. The
stock and crops were insured in the Suffolk Fire-office
to the amount of 300/. i but' the amount of property
destroyed will most likely prove to be GOO/. or 700/.
The premises were the property of the Bev. B. Pavers.

THE COTTON MARKET : TfuE CaoP.—This market
has not, during the week, shown any signs of recovering
from the state of depression into which it was thrown, a
month • ago, by the disturbances in the manufacturing
districts. Indeed, until trunouilfitv shall have been
restored in those districts and work resumed, no
material improvement can reasonably be expected.
The accounts by the Britannia
cotton being likely.to be extremely large This is not
improbable, from the state of the weather up to the
before the actual result of the harvest
Low ever, that some
can be correctly ascertained. A frost for only twenty-
latest dates ; it must be remembered,
four hours would materially change the aspect of things,
and reduce a superabundant to an average crop. Still, in
the present state of inanuf'actUres and the limited demand
which now exists for goods, there is too much reason to
suppose, that even an average crop Would, with the stock
on hand; afford a sufficient, supply fur the next tlielve

THE CLOED.—During the French Revolution, a
with the de-
cree for efticing his arms from his carriage, caused a
nobleman who was unwilling
painter to surround them with a light cloud, through
which they still remained, visible, and underneath he
wrote, "It will pass over. —The Commandant of the
district, however, put the carriage into the hands of
another painter,' who totally effaced . the armorial
bearings, leaving in their place this motto--o It has
passed over."
" I believe one reason," observes Sir Walter Scott,
"why such numerous instances of erudition occur
among the lower ranks is, that, with the same powers
of mind, the poor student is limited to a narrower
circle for indulging his passion for books, and must
necessarily make himself master of the few he pos-
sesses, before he can acquire more., '
The library of the late M. Sismondi, which is so
particulaily rich in historical works, is

Professor Rossi, of Paris, 'aft(r the death of Madame
Sismondi.
In the event of the death of a young Chinese woman
under 19 years of age, says Mr. Davis, a paper effigy

was that as no remonstrance was heeded our Corre-
spondent returned direct to town. Had he acquiesced,
he would,- with the 3s. 4d. for the fare from Reigate
to London, have paid 9s. 2d, for his conveyance,
whereas the public, by the representations of the
Company, are madeto believe that the charge is but
7s. These appear to be some of the old tricks of
coach proprietors, who were, in their monopoly, noto-
rious for this manceuvre of. " long and short fares,"
but in their day it was scarcely tolerated, and we
think will hardly be so now on the part of corporate
bodies. Shareholders in general should pay much
attention, and see that such questions is, these are
properly investigated and settled, for if they are car-
ried on to any great extent, they may prove of incal-
culable mischief to the traffic of any line on
.which
artifices of the sort are practised.
POST.—The funds were depressed in a trifling de-
gree this morning. They, indeed, closed rather hea-
vily, in consequence of some rumours that were in
circulation respecting a Duich loan.operation. It ap-
pears that sales of Dutch stock were made towards
the end of the past week in the Amsterdam market,
under the impression that the Government of Hol-
land was desirous of negotiating another small loan,
against the credit voted by • the States-General, the
sum named being 6,000,000 guilders, or half a mil-
lion sterling. Whether or not such is really the ob-
ject of the Dutch Executive seems uncertain, bqt
it is felt here, assuming the fact to be as Stated,
that none of the stock will find its way to the Eng-
lish market, and that the whole will be 'eh-
sorhed at home. According to some accounts, the
Government of the Hague was about to obtain an-
other instalment of the money due to it from the
Belgian Government under the -late arrangement,' in
virtue of which Belgium was made chargeable with a
portion of the general debt, as it stood anterior to the
separation of the two countries. It was asserted that
a great capitalist in.-this city was to make the Belgian
Government a further advance of money for current
purposes, and that the amount contemplated was to
be extended to the sum required to cover the instal-
ment alluded to as payable to the Government of
Holland. The Dutch houses. in town do not appear
'to have any information on these matters upon which
the public can place reliance, but if there be any new
financial movement in progress in either of the said
kingdoms, it is likely that well authenticated particu-
lars concerning it will be received in the course of a
post or two. It seems that there was at Amsterdam
some disposition to take in stock so long as the belief
existed that a further payment was to be looked for
at the hands of the Belgian Government, but that
speculation was damped by the less agreeable rumour
which succeeded, and the idea to which it gave rise
of the wants of the Dutch Exchequer being once
more about to be supplied out of Dutch pockets.
CHRONICLE.—The Ministerial organs, under
their City head, express great surprise this morning
that there should have been no fttrther rise in the
National Securities, consequent upon the receipt of •
what they term news of considerable importance,
connected with the position of our foreign relations.
The Funds cannot be always rising, and Consols are
already at 93, which is a very high figure indeed. It
is impossible that the price of Stocks can al ways be
on the advance. The speculators bought Stock in ex-
pectation that the funds would improve on the ratifi-
cation of the Boundary Treaty, and when the event
" came off" we suppose they sold.
The same sort of thing is exhibited in the Foreign
-Stock Market as in the English. After a deal of ob-
jectionable mystery and uncertainty the advertising
of the October dividends has also "come- off" in
Mexican Bonds, but that particular stock, instead of
rising, has fallen, which is somewhat strange, for
there has been no inducement to make parties sell,
on the notice of the payment of the dividends, to
realize a profit. We have felt called upon several
times of late to notice a want of openness and fair
dealing in regard to Mexican affairs. Everything
connected with them is made a secret of, and kept in
the hands of a few. In regard to the dollars received
froni time to time for the dividendS,'noOfficial account
is puldished. The sums received are communicated
by third parties, and nothing official is made knoNirn
to the bondholders regarding the amount at their
disposal.
We are quite aware of the inquiry at the Custom-
house, referred to by • Mr. James Bamford, but
whether our Correspondent be correct in his state-
ment that the frauds have been committed by im-
porters of foreign-manufactured goods through the
gross misconduct of certain officers of the establish-
ment, we do not find that we have sufficient infor-
mation to enable us to give a decisive opinion. Neither'
shall we at once at acquiesce in his statement th it
the officers in question have been habitually receiving
bribes, although we believe several officers have been
suspended pending the investigation. At the same
time We fully concur-with our Correspondent in the
importance of exposing, as far as possible, the parties
who have been illegally and dishonestly engaged in
these nefarious practices, although we must reserve
our further judgment until the result of the inquiry
be made known. It is very likely that there may be
an attempt to hush up the affair altogether. But we
do not believe that this will be an easy job. When
Parliament meets the whole will be fully expiscated,
should the Government exhibit the smallest intention
to withhold full information from the knowledge of
the public. It is certainly a suspicious circumstance
that the Government prints, who were at first so
actively alive to the importance of the investigation
at the first noise of it, should have become so sud-
denly silent. on the subject. It will he impossible,
however, to screen the parties really guilty from ex-
posure, although every possible attempt may be made
to do so.

_
SUN.—Some sales ofMoney Stock caused the price of
Consols for immediate transfer to decline a shade below
that of Saturday, while for time it remained the same.
The closing rates were 92i for Money, and 93 9311,- for
the Account. India Stock, 249 251; Exchequer
Bills, Old, 51 53; New, 49 51 prem.
In Foreign Securities but little was done. Prices
were—Belgian, 102 103; Dutch Two-and-a-half per
Cents., 5214 524; the Five per Cents., 104 1021 ;
Danish, 83 84 ; and Brazilian, 67i 68i. Some specu-
lative bargains were made in Mexican by the boar
party nominally, but the quotations at which business
could be really effected were 354 354.
The Share Market was rather firmer, with the ex-
ception of South Eastern. The fact of this Company
being under the necessity of raising money has had an
unfavourable effect upon the prices of the Shiites.
London and Birmingham were 181 183 ; Birmingham
and Gloucester, 42 44 ; Great Western, 82 83 ; the
Half Shares, 59i 60; South Western, 57i 58 ; North
Midland, 56 .58 ; the New Shares, 27 28 ; South
Eastern and Dover, 214 221- ; Eastern counties, 8i
Bit ; Northern and Eastern, 36 37 ; Blackwall, 61 7 ;
and Brighton, 33 33k.

It was agreed, at the late meeting of the Blackwall
Railway Company, that the increased fares should
take effect from the first of the ensuing month. In
contravention of this arrangement, however, the new
rates have already been levied. The affair altogether
has caused much ill-feeling among mercantile men,
as 'well as among other parties more immediately in-
terested in the several localities on the line. Raising
the fares is generally viewed as a breach of faith, it
having been distinctly stated that greater facilities
were given with reduced fares, and upon the faith of
these promises much of the opposition to bringing the
terminus into the City was abandoned, in order that
these objects Might be accomplished.
The quotations for the Bonds were, nominally
Colombian, 203 001; Peruvian, 15 16 ; Portuguese
Five 'per Cents., 351 36; the Three per Cents.,
21 211 ; Spanish Five per Cents., 16/ 16t ; the
Three per Cents., 21k 21+.

As I anticipated, the attendance was much
greater than on the St. Leger day. A less in-
teresting day's sport I never remember but once
at Doncaster, and that was last year, When, to
make a race for the Cup, the owner of the
Shadow received so much to follow eould mara
Beeswing round the course. Your reporter has
told you a great deal about Mr. Orde s wonder-
ful mare, to which account I can only add that
she has now won twenty-five gold cups. What
can her veteran owner do with so many ? While
this mark is in training, it seems we shall• have
no race for the Doncaster Cup. Surely a few,
but not all, of the Goodwood Cup conditions
would be as well in force here. Charles XII.
is a delicate constitutioned horse: he looked no
more like the Charles we backed at Goodwood
than Attila looked. like the winner of the
Derby. No three year old ever cut such a
wretc:med figure for this cup as Attila he was
beat in the first quarter of a mile, and might
safely have carried a. feather. Some eleven (half
ofthein winners) started for the two. year old
race wort so easily by Attila last year. Previous
to the Newcastle meeting I remember writing
that the British Yeoman would win all his en-
gagements there : it is pretty clear, I think, that
lie ought to have won them all. With due re-
ference to the public, who take ten to one about
this horse for the Derby so freely, I think the
St. Leger course will suit him better thiur the up
and down hill course lit Epsom. As for the run-
ning of the second (Maria Day), the devil him-
self could not account for it. I. shall notattempt
to compete with sr') dread a personage. There
was some betting on the Derby in 'the evening.
One gentleman was lively enough tooffer to take
ten thousand to one thousand about7the f'avourite,
but wide awake enough to couple his offer with
the condition of " money to be posted." The
bargain %vas not concluded.

FRlDAV.—Although many gentlemen departed
this morning, the ring was crowded; and the bet-
ting much heavier titan is usual on a last day,
when it is necessary to settle (if you settle at all)
after each event. In reality this was the best
day's sport of the week; there were four.as good
races as ever were seen. Master Thomas, after
being backed to win thousands for the St: Leger,
is defeated cleverly by brother to Garland, a
horse not thought good enough to be started
.for
that event ; there have been some strange mis-
takes in Scott's stable lately. The Nvinuer of the
St. Leger was amiss for the twentieth time in her
life. Lord Eglinton is proverbially lucky, or
would never have won the St. Leger with such a
mare—a mare that was entered in all the largest
stakes in the kingdom, without ever being able
to start before Sally, the mare that beat her ; was
in the Newcastle St. Leger, Lut did not for some
reason come out there. Value of the Park Hill
Stakes 750/. A very pretty race ensued for the
Innkeepers' Plate, and the meeting is concluded.
There were about two hundred more subscribers
to the rooms than in 1841. The Yorkshire
Handicap is in future to be run on the Wednes-
day, and the Earl of Eglinton is appointed
_Steward fir next year; a more popular nobleman
could hardly be selected,

SERIOUS ACClDENT.—Yesterday, as, the ' younger
son of Sir Henry Hardinge was landing from a
steane boat at Westminster, his leg was caught by the
cable, and he fell. On his being removed to his
residence ut Whitehall, he was attended by several
surgeons, Mr. M•Cann, Mr. White, Mr. Lawrence, and
Mr. Hughes. On their examining the injury it was
• found that immediate amputation was necessary. The
young gentleman bore the Operation with the greatest
possible fortitude, Conversing with the surgeons as to
the progress they were making with this • painful duty,
and the probable length of time he would be confined.
We are happy to stute he is going on as weThas could
possibly be expected on such an occasion. • '
FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE Husinert..—On Sature
day evening, the 10th instant, between eight and nine
o'clock, the .steam-ship Tiger, for Humburgh, was pro-
ceeding down the Humber, Captain Knocker himself
being on the paddle-box, and men as mufti at the bow on
the 100k-out, when they suddenly came upon. a ballast
lighter, the Venture, of this port, J. Clark, master, laden
with sand for Barton. From the dusk of evening, in-
creased by the smoke and steam descending. from the
chimney, which, as the steamer was proceediug only at a
moderate rate, hovered upon her decks and in the air
before her, the wind being upon her stern, 'the lighter
was not seen in time to avoid a collision.. The steamer
struck her, and she began to till. Two men were upon
her deck, to whom ropes were thrown, and which fell
across the lighter near to the men. It is possible, how-
ever,. that they did not think their danger so great as it
proved, and perhaps thought of saving themselves in
their own boat, and it is extremely likely they were 111

man named Richard Walsh was in the act of ascending
a ladder erected for the purpose of repairing the house
No. 2 , Dean-street, his foot slipped when he was near
theto7p, and he was precipitated to the ground from a
height of about forty feet. Upon raising him up, he
was in a state of perfect insensibility, and the blood
gushing from his nose and ears, Ile was then removed
to the Westminster Ilospital,'where he was found to
have sustained a fracture of the skull, besides severe
lin-
ternal injuries, But slight hopes are eptertained of
recovery,
