districts, were employed under the orders of the
Commander-in-Chief, in co operation with the regular
forces, and in aid of the civil authorities, having been
relieved from permanent duty, Field-Marshal the
Duke of IVellington has discharged a duty the most
gratifying. to himself, by reporting to the Queen,
I through her Majesty's Secretary of State for the
home Department, his Grace's sense of the prompti-
tude and alacrity with which these corps assembled
for the preservation of the public peace, regardless of
the inconvenience to which a separation from their
private avocations and pursuits, at that season of the
year, must have exposed them.
The Duke of Wellington did not fail to report to
the Secretary of State, for the information of the
Queen, at the time, his Grace's deep sense of the gal-
lantry, discipline, activity, and forbearance evinced
by the Yeomanry in the performance of the delicate
and important duties with which it became, necessary
to entrust them, for the support of the Magistracy in
the restoration and maintenance of the public. peace,
the protection of private property, and the preserva-
tion to every individual of the community of the right
to work as he might himself be inclined, according to
the terms of his agreement with his employer.
The Commander-in-Chief has great satisfaction in
publishing the expression conveyed to him by the Se 7
cretary of State, of her Majesty's most gracious ap-
probation of the services performed, as well by the
Yeomanry as by her Majesty's troops.

TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY.
THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE STAKES.

In the early part of the afternoon Ralph was backed
at 7 to 1, and had by a point the call of the Busk mare,
Florence, and the Knight of the Whistle, their prices
being Bto 1 each, taken. His decline was early and
rapid, and the Busk mare took the lead at the same
figure ; her reign was of equally short duration, as the
Knight of the Whistle's friends came out in force, took
7 to 1 freely, 13 to 2, and in,some few instances 6 to 1,
and established him first favourite by at least three
point,:. The layers against Florence and Ralph were all
powerful at last, nor would the Busk party close with
any offer under 10 to 1. Cabrera was in some demand,
and improved a couple of points on the odds (15 to 1)
first taken. Nothing of consequence was done about the
other favourites. Master Thomas was struck out. Clos-
