THE DERBY AND OAKS.

Some three or four hundred persons of different ranks entered
the yard yesterday afternoon, in tke vain hope of settling their
accounts on the Derby and Oaks, and they were, one and all,
miserably disappointed. The heavy defalcation already an-
nounc d, would alone have been sufficient to produce a sen-
sible effect, but when we add that from parties who did not show
at all, and those who did attend, and only paid in part, a further
sum amounting to upwards of forty thousand pounds was " want •
inn ," the nature of this so called settling" will be appre-
ciated. It was stated yesterday that the names of several par-
ties had been made free with, and we fear, in more instances
than one, with some reason; two or three of them, however,
showed and paid in part ; another forwarded a letter to one of
his principal creditors, stating that his loss was so heavy as to
render it utterly impossible for him to meet his engagements on
the day, but that he felt c lnfident of realizing such securities as
will enable him to settle with every person in full
in a very short time. In the other quarters the cases
are not considered desperate, and as they differ in this
respect from the one we treated so unceremoniously in our last,
it would scarcely be fair towards their creditors to publish their
names, or ir.dulge in any allusions that would have a tendency
to prevent an ultimate adjustment. With the exception of
Colonel Aasnn, the large amount of whose winnings must have
enabled him to realize a portion, we do not believe that a single
person quitted the yard a winner ; one gentleman was 7,000/.
short, by bad or parried debts, including 4,0001. by Mr. Beales,
the whole of which was commission money ; another nearly
5,000/. ; and several of two, three, and four thousand each.
Such is the present state of the turf money market; in another
week or ten days, the intentions of those in arrears will have
developed themselves, and we shall return to the subject ; in
the meantime, it is almost superfluous to add, that betting is out
of the question.

TILE MARKETS.-(THIti DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of Grain since Monday have been small. The
weather being so remarkably fine keeps the trade in a dull state,
and every article remains at Monday's prices. Flour dces not
sell quite so easily as of late.
COLONIAL MARKET.
Trantacticns were on a small scale, but. prices %I ere sustained,
and the quantity pressed for sale was small. Raw Sugar sold
steadily, but Retitled *at. dull ; standard lumps, 81s. 6d. a cwt.
TEA MARKET.
The Market was very dull, but holders were not disposed to
submit to any further decline. Company's Congou, Is. Bd. cash.
TALLOW MARLET.
Holders were firm at 48s. 6d. for P. Y. C. on the spot, I ut
the trade operated with much caution. The stock is heavy.
SPIRIT MARKET.
Rum met with a fair sale at full rates, but Brandy was dull
of sak, and prices lower. Corn Spirits flat, at lOs. per gallon.

A BOY DIIOWNED.—Last night, hotween nine and
ten o'clock, several lads, after the coal porters had ceased work-
ing, assetnblud on the barges of Under-the-Hill wharf,
strand, when unfortunately, one of the number, a lad about
fourteen years of age, named Hunt, whose parents reside in
Lumley-court, Strand, was drowned. The drags were instantly
brought, and several of the Thames police also assisted in en-
deavouring to save the boy, but the wind and title were so
strong, that he soon disappeared. Men with torches were also
er4:aged till daylight this morning, as the tide receded, in
walking along the shore, to discover the body, but unfortunately
it could not be found. This is the seventh case of a similar
nature that has occurred between Westminster and Blackfriars
Bridges within the last fourteen days.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Their Lordships met this day at Two o'clock, for the purpose
of proceeding with the other House to the Palace, to present
the Address to her Majesty, on her escape from the late treason-
able attempt of the miscreant who discharged a pistol at her
Majesty on Monday evening.
On our admission to the gallery, shortly before two o'clock,
we found that several of the Peers had already assembled. The
body of the House presented an unusually gay and animated
appearance. All the Peers were in full dress, the ma-
jority of them in uniform, and some few in Court dresses.
The Knights of the different Orders, wearing their
decorations. The Duke of Wellington was dressed in the uni-
form of the Constable of the Tower, and across his breast he
wore the riband of the order of the arter. Lord Hill and the
other military Peers appeared in full uniform, and the appear-
ance of the House was rather that of a ball-room than of a legis-
lative assembly. The scene was picturesque in the extreme,
and for splendour and magnificence has seldom been equalled.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, in the absence of the
Chancellor. took his seat upon the Woolsack at Two o'Cleek.
The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage.

The LORD CHANCELLOR entered the House at twenty-
five minutes after Two o'Clock, and their Lordships imme-
diately adjourned till to •morrow.
The Clerk at the table then called over the names of the
Peers present, commencing with that of John Lord Campbell,
as the junior Peer present.
Each Peer as his name was called, rose and left the House

to take his place in the procession.
Among those present we observed the Duke of Wellington,
the Duke of Leinster, Lord Redesdale, the Earl of Eldon, the
Earl of Warwick, Lord Bexley, the Marquis of Ely,
the Marquis of 1 homond, Lord Hood, the Marquis
of Downshire, the Marquis of Camden, Lord Fever-
sham, Lord Somers, Lord Camoys, the Earl of West-
moreland, the Duke of Roxburgh, the Marquis of Headfort,
Lord Poltimore, Viscount Duncannon, the Earl of Aylesford,
Lord Stafford of Jerningham, Lord Crewe, Lord Monteagle,
Viscount Canterbury, Lord Campbell, the Earl of For-
tescue, Earl Bathurst, the Earl of Wicklow, the Mar-
quis of Northampton, Earl Radnor, Lord Bateman,
Lord Abinger, the Archbishop of Armagh, the Bishop of
London, the Bishop of Lincoln, the Bishop of Chester, the
Bishop or Worcester, the Bishop of Derry, the Bishop
of Ely, the Bishop of Llandaff, the Bishop of Rochester,
Lord Lovat, Lord C3lchester' the Bishop of Gloucester and
Bristol, Lord Glenelg, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Viscount
Hawarden, the Earl of Cawdor, the Earl of Home, the Duke
of Richmond, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Earl of
Clanwilliam, the Earl of Devon, Lord Cottenham, the Earl of
Dalhousie, Lord Bolton, the Earl of Walsingham, and Earl
Mint°.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
ADDRESS TO HER MAJESTY.

There was a very full attendance of Members at two o'clock,
the House presenting a very brilliant and animated appearance,
from the large number of naval and military uniforms, and
from the number of Members who appeared in the
full-dress of Deputy-Lieutenants of Counties. The number of
gentlemen in full Court dress was also considerable, as the throng
was broken up into detached groups round the table and on the
floor of the' House, engaged in animated conversation, with the
brilliant light of the fine summer's day streaming down upon
the crosses and decorations and floating plumes ; a more
splendid sight has rarely been afforded on the occasion of going
up with an Address. Among the most prominent of the
assembly was Mr. O'Connell in his robes of office as Lord
Mayor of Dublin ; he occupied the seat in front of the chair
of the Sergeant-at-arms, and was for some time engaged in
conversation with several Hon. Members. Mr. Macaulay,
Sir W. Clay, and Sir J. C. Hobhouse wore the Windsor
uniform. None of the Cabinet Ministers were present,
as their presence was required at the Palace.
The Speaker wore the full robes of his high
office. One of the most soldierlike and remarkable figures
in the House, was Shi Howard Douglas; Mr. Ferrand appeared
in a yeomary cavalry uniform, of a very hussar-like description,
and Dr. Bowring and Mr. Brotherton, wore Court dresses.
Not above four Members out of the large number present,
appeared in plain clothes.
The SPEAKEI: took the Chair at a quarter-1 a.:,1 two, and
after an interval of a few minutes,

Sir T. FREMANTLE moved the adjournment of the House
till five o'clock. The motion was agreed to, and the Speaker,
preceded by the Mace, and followed by all the Members, quitted
the House, to accompany the House of Lords to the Palace
with the Address.

The scene outside the House was of the most animated de-
scription. The sun shone brilliantly, and a finer day could not
have been selected to add lustre to so enlivening a scene. At
half-past two the Speaker left the House in his elegant
state carriage, and he was immediately followed by the other
Hon. Members in rapid succession. The Lord Chancellor and
the Peers also set out at the same hour. As we have stated in
another part of our columns, their Lordships and the Mem-
bers were all in full dress; add to this, the magnificence of
the equipage's, the noble-looking horses with rosettes in their
heads, the g ittering harness, and last, though not least, the
gaudy dresses of the servants ; and we think our readers will
easily imagine that such a scene as we describe, is not to be
witnessed every day in our mighty city. A few slight contre
Temps occurred, such as the breaking of a few carriage lamps,
and the splintering of a f,o'e or two, but there was
nothing happened of Which we heard of a more
scions cliaracter. We need scarcely add that the whole way
from the Houses to St. James's Palace was lined with anxious
spectators. We did not observe any particular marks either
of respect or disrespect paid to any Member of either House.
All passed off very quietly.
