GOULBURN completely in that respect, who went back
only as far as the end of March, while the Spanish
Chancellor of the Exchequer will levy the new impost
from the l tof January last. The bull fights bad com-
menced, and one of them, if we are to believe a Madrid
!otter, promises to be most interesting, as several of the
foreign diplomatists, or attaches, are to figure as
matadors. The writer says, " An an bull-tight is to
take place on the estate of Senor F.tcutioA., which will
derive considerable attraction from the parts which
some foreign diplomatists are to enact on the occasion.
Amongst those mentioned are, LIVINGS DON, Secretary
to the American Legation; the Duke DE GLUCKSBERG
and M. MERCIER, of the French Embassy; and M. DE
BEAUVALLON, a writer of the French Globe, who some
mouths ago killed in a duel M. DUJARRIER, connected
with the Presce.

The Spanish Funds continue to improve. On the
10th the Three per Cents. closed at 31 for cash, and at
311- at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 201 for cash,
and 21 at 60 days ; the Coupons at 26i for cash; and
the Debt without Interest at 6 15-16 for cash.

In the French Chamber of Deputies on Monday the
principal business for the remainder of the session was
arranged, and the following Bills will be passed:—The
Paris and Strasburgh, the Tours and Nantes, the Dieppe
and Fecamp, and the Avignon and Aix Railway Bills.
Several others will be postponed, but all the great lines
are to be commenced without delay. In reference to these
great undertakings, as well as to the large sums voted
by the Chamber for bridges, canals, harbours, and other
national works, the Presse pays a just compliment to
the new dynasty as well as the Legislature. " The
Government of 1830," it says, " may be accused of want
of discrimination in its numerous enterprises, of having
been prodigal on some points, and penurious on others.
But altogether the country has made considerable pro-
gress during the last fifteen years with respect to modes
of communication. The Chamber is about to discuss
after the budget of expenses, a Bill by which a sum of
28,000,000 f. is allocated for the amelioration of the fol-
lowing harbours :—Dunkirk, Calais, Boulogne, Fecamp,
Port-en-Benin, Granville, Morlaix, Launay, Lorient,
Marans, les Sables d'Olonne, Bandoi, Bastia—in all,
thirteen ports. Several of those harbours possess a real
importance, and one at present in so neglected a state as
not to afford any advantage to trade. Calais, Boulogne,
Granville, Dunkirk, and Fecamp, in the Channel, invite
the solicitude of a government. According as the con-
struction of railroads facilitates the communications
between the interior and the coast, it becomes necessary
that the sea-ports should affOrd both national and foreign
commerce a secure station." But, independent of national
improvements, this system has other most important
advantages. These useful works furnish employment
to the labouring population, benefit the landowners, give
an outlet to capital, and tend besides to turn the public
mind from the dreams of foreign conquest to the more
noble and more substantial blessings of local improve-
ments. This is a victory far greater than any gained
by NAPOLEON, and does the highest honour to Louis
PHILIPPE. The representatives of the people now ma-
nifest the same disposition—they are liberal in their
grants for national works, but rival Mr. Hustx and Mr.
WILLIAMS, the guardians of the English Exchequer, in
cutting down the army estimates. These estimates were
taken into consideration on Monday, and Marshal SOULT,
who hates reductions, was beaten on every point. On
the Government vote of 17,000,000 E for the staff de•
partment being proposed, an amendment was moved,
in accordance with the report of the Committee, to
reduce the amount by 80,000 francs, and,
though opposed by the Government, was adopted.
A reduction of 10,000 f. was also made in the estimate
for commandants of military schools, and not less than
200,0001. in the recruiting department. Marshal SOULT
would give up 'only 18,0001., but the Chamber would
not bate one franc, and he was obliged to submit. The
Marshal (says the Const:tationneo is shortly to leave
Paris for his estate in the south of France, whence he
would proceed to visit the camp forming at Bordeaux,
under the command of the Duke D'AUMALE. Accounts
from Algiers state that Marshal BUGEAUD had lately
made several razzias with complete success—in one he
had taken a number of prisoners and 3,000 head of
cattle ; and in another had made 150 prisoners and
captured 1,500 head of cattle. ABD-EL-KADEH was at
Ksar-Beida, near Tanguin, 45 leagues to the south of
Teniet-al-llad.

There are accounts by her Majesty's packet Swift, from
Rio, to April 23. It appears that the Chambers were still
discussing the bud-get, and that the proposition of
the Committee of Finances to levy an extra duty
of 6 per cent. on English cotton manufactures
was expected to be carried. The exchange on London had
been up to 25d., but subsequently went back a little. The
Coffee Market was moderately supplied, and the sales were
moderate. For stock there was scarcely any demand, and
the quotation had receded a little.
The Funds are rather livelier to-day, but there is some-
' what of a disposition to sell. Consols have been down to
99, but rallied afterwards to 99%. Exchequer-bills were at
565. to 535. prem. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 102% to %.
The Foreign Bonds have been also more dealt in. Spanish
Five per Cents. have improved to 28% %, and the Three
per Cents. to 41% 3%. Portuguese Converted are steady at
€7. Brazilian have been done at 90. Columbian are 17%. N.
and Mexican at 37%. Dutch Four per Cents. are 983/4.
The Share Market has been quiet again. Cambridge and
Lincoln are steadier, Eastern Counties have improved, Great
Western have receded, London and York are much the same,
South Eastern are buoyant, and York and North Midland
higher.

ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB SAILING MATCH.
—The first sailing match of the Royal Mersey Yacht Club came off
according to announcement, on Monday last, at Liverpool, and
although the day was rather unfavourable, it excited much atten-
tion, and attracted large numbers of persons to the scene of action.
Tkirteen yachts were entered, all of which were gaily decked with
their distinguishing flags, &c
. The
taasbcet ofing
admirable, and evidenced the
their respective commanders. The result of the match was that to
the Phebe, Thomas Moss, Esq., was awarded the first prise for the
first class; to the Hebe, R. B. Preston, Esq., the second, for the
third class; and to the Mermaid, John Grindrod, Esq., the third
prize, for the second class.
On Monday last a train of twenty-two carriages
left the Shoreditch terminus of the Eastern Counties Railway for
Chelmsford, conveying about 700 members of the London Tem-
perance Societies, who were met at the Chelmsford station by a
body of teetotallers from that district, with banners, music, Pec., and
after passing in procession through the principal streets of the
town, proceeded to the grounds of James Christie, Esq., in the
Broomfield road, where they passed the day in witnessing a plough-
ing match, sheep-shearing, cricket, swinging, angling, and other
pastimes, not forgetting eating and drinking, which took place in
three large marquees erected for the occasion. Thanks to the ex-
cellent arrangements of the railway officials, the journey up and
down was performed to the entire satisfaction of all.
PRIZE-FIGHT FOR 501.—0 n Tuesday the fight
between Jack Driscoll and Apple Daddy was decided; both men
are well known members of the ritig. In betting, Driscoll was the
favourite at odds. The pugilists and their friends left London by
the Brighton Railway, and arrived at the selected locality (Horley
Common). The necessary preliminaries being arranged, the men
entered the ring, and appeared in fine condition ; they shook hands
in a friendly manner, and then put themselves in a fighting
attitude, and after a severe round both went down. Apple Daddy
soon proved himself a better " general" than was anticipated.
They contended with unabated spirit, and at thirty minutes both
men exhibited marks of punishment. Fifty minutes had now been
occupied, and both were struggling for pugilistic honours, and at
the next round Driscoll received a desperate blow. The contest
was prolonged twenty minutes longer, when it was quite obvious
Apple Daddy was the stronger man ; his opponent, however, was
reluctant to relinquish the hostilities and endeavoured to keep up the
fight, when nature refused to assist him further, and the sponge
was thrown up by his seconds in token of submission, and Apple
Daddy was declared the winner. The fight lasted seventy-six minutes.
The result was contrary to general expectation, and muen money
mast have been won and lost.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
HAMPTON RACES
Commenced yesterday, and, the overflowing of the " mon-
ster" meeting at Ascot having enabled the managers to came
oat with a remarkably strong bill, albeit, saving the handicap,
of slender attractions to sporting men, drew a larger attendance
than could have been expected from the gloomy and unpropi-
tious state of the weather in the early part of the day ; re-
spectable, however, as the master undoubtedly was under the
circumstances, it was not numerous enough to " pay,"—the
proprietors of the course and their co-speculators, the tenants
of the stands and refreshment booths, must, therefore, trust to
the second slay for their chances of " making both ends meet."
'f o speak in detail of the racing would be to lose sight of the
leading characteristic of these meetings; sport is less thought
of at Moulsey than " fun,"—an cbject that, notwithstanding
frequent showers was not forgotten yesterday. Leaving the
return, then;to show that there was no lack of legitimate amuse-
ment of a better kind than usual, we may state briefly that
the first race was not run until two o'clock, and that in con-
sequence the last heat of the Strawberry-hill Stakes was not
decided until nearly six. It is due to the Clerk of the
Course to add that the order of sunning was ob-
served with considerable punctuality, and that
the day's sport was bronght to a termination
without any untoward interruption. So ereditable a
beginning augurs favourably for the " grand day." The wea-
ther, which, as we have intimated, was unfavourable in the
morning, became fine after the third heat for the Cup, and
continued so to the close. The first race on a card that, for
correctness, threw Ascot into the shade, was
he Gold Cup, in specie, by Subs, of 5 sovs. each, with 40
added, for three yrs old, 7st 71b ; four yrs, Bst 101 b ; five
yrs, 9st 31b; six yrs and aged, 9st 71b. Mares, &c., al-

1. THE MELODY COLT AFFAIR.
The inquiry into this case, which was commenced on Sallie-
-1 day last before the Stewar.ls of the Jockey Club, assisted ;:y
Lord Normanby and Colonel Peel, terminated yesterday even-
ing. The following is a copy of the official report and sen-
tence :
" We have examined into the charge against Mr. Crommelin,
of having offered John Day, jun., a large bribe to procure the
defeat of the horse then called the Melody colt, in the Derby of
1840. This charge, founded upon a statement made to Mr.
Etwall, tlie proprietor of the horse, by John Day, jun , was
supported only by his own evidence, which we find to be
utterly unworthy of belief, contradicted, as it was, on many im-
portant points, by letters in his own handwriting of that date,
addressed to Mr. Crommelin, and produced by him. It having
been necessary for Mr. Crommelin's defence that he should
place these letters in evidehce before us, we further find from
the contents that, subsequent to this period, both John Day,
sen., and John Day, jun., had not only continued but increased
their intimacy with Mr. Crommelin, whom one accused, and
the other believed capable of such atrocious villany, and to
which person John Day, jun. , was in the habit of confiding the
secrets of the stable. The nature of this cotinexion appears to
us to have been very discreditable to all the:parties concerned;
but, considering the length of time that has elapsed
since the transactions occurred, we think it unnecessary now
to take further steps with respect to this part of the case,
than to give the strongest expression of our opinion that sach
a connexion as has been established is calculated to destroy
that confidence in the faithful attention of public trainers to
the legitimate interests of their several masters, on the security
of which the continued prosperity of the Turf can alone rest.
John Day, junior, having before U 3 endeavoured to support
a criminal charge by wilful falsehood, we direct that he be
warned off the Course at Newmarket, and out of the Coffee-
room yard there, and be not permitted to ride in any race at
Newmarket.
We also recommend the Proprietors and Stewards of all
Race-courses, where the rules of the Jockey Club are in force,
to prevent him from appearing on such courses.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT A LICENSED VlCTUAL-
cittes ♦r LAMBETH. —Shortly after two o'clock on Tueday
afternoon a fire broke out in the extensive premises known as
the Jolly Gardeners public-house, occupied by Mr. Samuel Bird,
licensed victualler, and situate at the upper end of Lambeth-walk.
It is not exactly known how the fire originated, but while the
family was at dinner their attention was arrested by a strong smell
of smoke and fire. In another instant the flames manifested them.
selves by bursting from the cellar, through the floor of a private
parlour, most valuably furnished, and adorned with a quantity
of paintings of considerable worth, and highly Prized by the
proprietor. The flames had obtained so thorough a hold
that in a few minutes this room was one body of fire, and so
intensely did it burn that it was found impracticable to save
any of the articles of vertu or the furniture. Without delay
information was dispatched for the engines, and iu as short
a time as was possible the parish-engine, the Waterloo-road
brigade engine, the West of England engine, the Southwark-
bridge-road, and Messrs. Burnett's distillery engine were got to
work. An abundance of water flowing from the main of the Lam.
both and Vauxhall works, a considerable number of men were em.
played to work the engines, but the flames progressed very rapidly,
extending their ravages to another apartment on .he ground floor,
and after demolishing the glass in the windows, the fire communi-
cated to the liquor vats in the bar, which were then in imminent
danger, as well as the upper part of the premises. The vast stream
of water judiciously applied at this critical moment had the effect
of arresting the violence of the flames, but it was cot until about
an hour after the outbreak that the fire was completely
extinguished. The result is that a considerable amount of pro-
perty is destroyed, and although the proprietor is insured in the
Sun-office to the amount of '2,300/. for the stock and furniture,
the greater part of the paintings are not included in the policy.
The police arrangements, under Inspectors Stantiard and Ferguson,
Were highly satisfactory.
TEM LAI'S THOMAS HOOD.—We are informed that

GRFAT MEETING
OF THE
ANT!-CORN-LAW

LEAGUE

AT
COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

A great metropolitan meeting of the members of the Anti
Corn-law League was held last evening in Covent-garden
Theatre. At half-post six o'clock the doors were opened,
and by a quarter before seven there was not a seat in the
theatre unoccupied. There were a great number of ladies in
the boxes. Precisely at, seven o'clock George Wilson, Esq.,
chairman of the League, entered the theatre, and took the
chair amidst the most enthusiastic cheering. He was accompa-
nied by R. Cobden, Esq., M.P.,; John Bright, Esq., M.P. ;
and W. J. Fox, Esq., who were received with loud applause.

The CHAIRMAw, having advanced to the table, proceeded to
address the meeting as follows :-Ladies and Gentlemen,-It
is no great novelty to see this place on these occasions filled to
overflowing, but certainly looking at the appearance presented
by every part of the House at this moment, I must confess that
it has never before been my lot to behold a more brilliant as-
semblage than that which I have now the pleasure of seeing
before me.-(Cheers.) It may naturally be expected that
some allusion will be made this evening to those proceedings
which have for a time superseded the necessity of our assem-
bling together here as usual. These our nocturnol meetings
have only given place to another method, perhaps more rigr..e-
able, and certainly cqually gratifying, of disseminating the
principles of free trade-I mean the Bazaar.-(Loud cheers.)
There is not any necessity for me now to refer to the imme-
diate reason for holding it. It was no secret, twelve months
ago, that the League had determined,for the purpose of meeting
the contingent expenses of carrying on this agitation, as well
as for the purpose of enabling the country generally to demon-
strate the interest which it felt in the cause of free trade and
the abolition of all monopolies, to raise a fund of 100,000/. It
is equally well known that from the first the ladies have at-
tended our meetings, and countenanced by their presence the
greater portion of our public proceedings, and that at the time
when great distress prevailed in the manufacturing districts ;
and when we petitioned the Legislature on the subject the la-
dies memorialised her Majesty, beseeching her to look with an
eye of compassion on the sufferings of the people, and in order
to alleviate them to permit the corn then in bond to be de-
livered to them duty free. The signatures to this memorial
were obtained by ladies, who canvassed them from door to door
in the depth of a severe winter in the manufacturing districts.-
(Cheers.) They did more. They held a Free-Trade Bazaar
in Manchester by which they realized for the League the sum
of 10,0001.-(Cheers)-and to show their unabated interest
in the Anti-Corn-law movement they proposed to complete the
100,000/. by holding a bazaar in this theatre last year.-
( Cheers.) The baster last year was postponer for reasons into
which it is now unnecessary to enter. It has been recently held
in this theatre, and with what success I :shall presently aciow-
( Cheers.) Now, as 1 have said before, it pecuniary contribu-
tions alone were what we had looked for, a bazaar would in alt
probability have been the last thing to a power-
ful body like the League would have b •en wiling
to commit itself-depending as it must necessarily do on such
a variety ot circumstances. In the firs place we proposed to
make it a national exhibition, and it was a national exhi4ition.
-(Cheers. ) We received contributions from Shetland, a+
one end of the Kingdom, and from Cornwall :it the dther-
(Cheer. )-and I think all those who had an opporitniit) of
seeing the bazaar will agree with me in sa ing that never has
there been seen colleeted together in this country such a pro-
fusion of beautiful, ingeniously constructed, ant useful articles,
the production of which reflected the greatest credit on the skill
and industry of the working men of this country.-(-Loud
cheering.) It is not my intention to enter into minute details
respecting the peculiar circumstances of holding this, bazaar. I
may however state, that in many districts of the country, from
which it was difficult to furnish contributions of
goods, small purses were sent, and from many
other districts we received contributions, both in goods
and money. Every county in England made some
little acknowledgment, tor the purpose of manifesting the in-
terest which it felt in the progress of the free-trade cause.-
(Loud cheers.) From Devonshire we received in money eon.
tributions 41/. es. 9d., from sales 96/. 13s. Gd., making a total
ot 1361. 3s. 9d. From Northamptonshire we received in

123/. Bs., and from small subscriptions '233/. 6s. 6d., giving
altogether 25,0461. 10s. I Id., as the total amount received
from the Basaar-(lmmenee cheering). And notwithstanding
this we have remaining by us as many contributions undisposed
of as will furnish another Bazaar equal to any that has ever
been held for any other purpose in this country.-( Cheers. )
But, ladies and geetlemen, there is a very gratifying feature in
connexion with it. It is the conclusion of our exertions on
account of the 100,0001. fund. We class the contributions and
the fund of er this manner. On December the 31st, 1844, the
public receipts in favour of the band arnouoted to 86,009/. 7s. 3d.
Since received, 5,6321. ss. 2d. ; Bazaar, 25,046/. 10s. 11d.,
making a total of 116,6871. 13s. 4d. - ( Cneers ) It is not
merely in a pecuniary senvi that we congratulate you on the re-
sults resented by the Bazaar. Freeu the first day visitors
were admit'ed the daily numbers exceeded 5,000; from first to
last 120,0: 0 persons were admitted. The Bazaar lasted 17
days, so that upwards of 7,000 must have been the daily average
of visrtora -( Hear, and cheers.) The receipts per day ave
raged more than 1,200/. The especial thanks of the friends of
free trade are due to those alone oho at this jancture assisted in
the completion of the League fund, and gave evidence to the
country that an interest was felt in it which had never be n
surpassed on other questions by the same class.-( Hear, hear. )
The moral effects of that demonstration are great and will be
felt for many years to come. I have heard but one opinion ex-
pressed by those who visited it that they never
in all their lives before saw so great a multi-
tude collected together who manif sled the same
order and decorum as they observed during the time that they
visited it. The contributions are more diffused throughout
the country, doit.g your work, and when other things
shall occur which may at pear more congenial to the
taste of free traders, the simple relics of the result of the la-
bours of those who sent to the Bazaar shall be reading a quiet
lesson in the dom.-stir circles for years to come.--t Hear,
hear.) I have great pleasure in calling on Mr. Cobden.-
(Loud cheering.)
Mr. CoanitN came forward, and was received with the same
hearty and unbounded demonstrations of applause which inva-
riably greet him in free-trade meetings-He said, Ladies and
Gentlemen, I could not help thinking, as my friend the Chair-
man detailed to you those interesting and novel statistics, that
I was following him at some disadvantage, inasmuch as I would
have little chance of communicating to you anything so new
or agreeable. He is just come from the north, where he has
been making up his accounts. -( Laughter.) I have just come from
a railway group, where I have been on the tread-wheel for the
last three months, as much a prisoner as though I had been on
Newgate, and with the disadvantage of feeling. conscious that
I was in a place where more time was wasted than even in the
distinguished House itself. Yet even under the roof of St.
Stephen's something has of late passed of a very cheering cha-
racter. I think I may say, I bring good news from the House
of Commons. --( Hear, hear.) It is not, alter all, such a bad
place, especially for agitation.-( Hear.) Last year we
made a little mistake at the beginning of the session-we laid
our heads together, and came to the conclusion that we should
employ ourselves better out of doors, in visiting some of the
counties and agitating a little,-this year we changed our tac-
tics, and we think Parliament was, after all, the best place for agi-
tating.-( Laughter.) You speak with a loud voice when you
speak on the floor of that House. You are heard all over the
world, and, if you have anything hard to say, it is a long whip-
the lash will reach over the kingdom.-(Cheers.) We deter-
mined to confine ourselves to Parliament, and the result shoos
that it was the best field for our labours. We there brought for-
ward a succession of motions ; we asked for a Committee to
inquire into the nature of the corn-laws ;we challenged the
protectionists to show us what benefits the corn had conferred ;
they refused a committee of inquiry, and the country would
rightly interpret their motives.--( Hear, hear.) Mr. Bright,
an active-minded man, looked about him and thought that of all
the burdens on land none was greater than the game-laws, for
the game, to a great extent, consumes the produce of the land.
-( Hear, hear.) Lie felt anxious, if possible, to point out to
the landowners how they could compensate the tenantry for the
abolition of the corn-laws by the abolition of the guag-laws. 1
