,sr?Fil Mr: Cram's shipyard, Chester. The day was delight-

released from the stocks, and glided into the water most
Majestically. Mrs. Alfred Pegler, of Manchester, named
the vessel " The Golden Queen." Her length is 175 feet,

tßustcoaa: CHURCH ORGA.—On Trinity Sunday, this
oan, which has been enlarged by a powerful trumpet-
n, and an octave and a half of pedals with pedal-pipes,
was re-opened by Mr. W. S. Litter, jun., organist of St.
Augustine 's Church, Liverpool. The position of the
organ has been changed, for the purpose of giving fuller
effect to the volume of sound. A handsome carved oak
screen, presented by a member ,of the congregation, has
been erected, which separates the organ from the body of
the church. The cost of the enlargement was about £BO,
50 of which had been subscribed by the congregation.
Three sermons were preached on the occasion, and the
collections after the services amounted to 423.

EPSOM RACES.

The annual sporting festival on Epsom Downs commenced
on Tuesday last, under the most auspicious influences, bright
skies and pleasant breezes compensating in some degree for
the dreary weather which attended the early meetings of the
season. There was not more than the average attendance, the
majority being composed of the professionals. The racing
commenced with the Craven Stakes, and Grapeshot's victory
increased the hopes of Honeywood's supporters for the Derby.
The other races were well contested, and afforded a fair day's
amusement to the assembled spectators.
