TATTERSALL'S, SUNDAY NIGHT.
Our rooms were all animation this day, Kent's stable
being in great force. The top offer against Bramble was
4to 1. One point more was taken ; and 6to 1 about his
stable companion, Red Deer. The knowing ones were
wanting to back Kent's lot; but could not get on at the
prices quoted in the Sunday papers, there being no layers.
Pagan was out of favour, 7 to I being offered several times
with no takers. The Bentinck party offered to back
Bramble against him for £5OO, but could not succeed.
Rowland was inquired after, but layers were shy, Nut-
with was not much fancied ; but the old mare, Alice
Hawthorn, although carrying a heavy weight, was in
demand by many.
For the Derby, Leander was backed at 10 to 1, and in-
quiries made about Mountcharles and Campanero ; but
no business was done. One gentleman who was laying
against the Ugly Buck, said that he would pepper bias
till the last minute, as he had no faith in him.

The Rev. Thos. Harries, late of Chester, has been ap-
pointed chaplain to the Liverpool Infirmary, Brownlow-
street.

We learn from the last French papers that her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Kent, and suite, arrived at 60
Tuileries, on Thursday afternoon, and was expected to
make a long visit to the King and Queen of the French.
EDUCATION.—On Sunday morning. at St. Jude's,
after a sermon by the Rev. R. J. 1111Ghee, the sum of
£37 was collected in aid of the funds for promoting the
education of the poor on the principles of the established
church, in compliance with the Queen's letter.
ROBBERY TO THE AMOUNT OF £3OO IN SALFOIII3•-°'
The house of Mrs. Deborah Taylor, the Nelson Tavern,
Svdney-street, was robbed, on Sunday night, of about
£3OO, consisting of a £lO note, two £5 notes, and the re-
mainder in gold and silver.
On Saturday next, there will be launched from the
building-yard of Messrs. Joseph Steel and Son, Baffin"
street, a splendid new vessel of upwards of 400 tons ,btu'

leave New York on the 7th instant, is now due.
THE BIRKENHEAD DOCK BILL.—We are informed,
from a source upon which we can implicitly rely, that,
notwithstanding all that we have heard so magnificently
announced, the projectors of the Wallasey Docks have
not, or had. not up to Saturday night, come to any terms
with the Commissioners of Woods and Forests for their
interest in the strand in Wallasey•Pool.

SMITH'S CONVEYANCE LIST.—No greater proof -of
the m,efulness of this list need be given than that of its
having risen into almost general circulation. The pub-
lisher spares no pains to render it equal in usefulness to
anything hitherto proJuced, and whenever any important
change in the departure of the conveyance takes place, a
sup,. lement is published, and presented to the subscriberft
gratuitously.—See Ado.
THE FASHIONS.—It will be seen by several advertize-
ments in on: present number, that the spring fashions, so
interesting.to the gentle sex have, with the fine weather,
come down from the great mart of female costume to the
good old town. It were invidious, where all is beautiful,
to particularize names and places, even were we ourselves
connoiseurs in such matters ; but we can assure our fair
readers, that from what we can learn, they will find at all
these establishments the most beautiful and novel designs
bath in material and form, and that the whole exhibits e -
high degree of taste, and anxiety to please, on the part of
the selectors, who have visited the respective capitals of
this Kingdom and of France.
We regret to state that the account received at the Law
Courts at Westminster on Saturday, relative to the health
of the Attorney General, are far from being so favourable •
as had been anticipated, and it is now a matter of consi-
derable doubt whether he will be able to appear in court
during the present term. It has been stated, that in the
evert of the learned Gentleman's health not improving in
a day or too, the briefs which he held relative to new trialg,
&c., will be handed over to the other members of the bar-
The illness of the learned gentleman has caused a delay in
the various cow ts, while the indisposition of Mr. Serjeant
Channellhas had a very considerable effect on the busi-
ness in the Common Pleas.—John Bull.

REMOVAL or CoNvrers.--rOn Saturday morning, at
an early hour, 79 prisoners, who had been convicted at
the late sessions of the Central Criminal Court, and sen—
tenced to transportation, were removed in the van from
that gaol to the Penitentiary at Millbank, there to undergo'
a short imprisonment previous to their being taken on-
board the transport ship which is to convey them t°
Botany Bay. Amon?. them were William Henry Barber*
Joshua Fletcher, and Henry Sanders, the parties con-
victed in the late will forgeries, the two former having
been sentenced to he transported for life, and the latter
for seven years. There were alio among the female con-
victs the lady shoplifters, Mrs. Earnshaw and Miss Wills►
whose case excited so much interest a short time since•
Both Barber and Fletcher were extremely low-spirited.

THE LATE FANCY BALL—We have much pleasats
in staling (as will be-seen by the advertisement in anotber„
column) that the recent fancy ball at the Town-ben
which gave so much satisfaction to ail who joined in tw
" merry rout," has netted (with the addition of subsCf'Pl
tions) the sum of Xl2OO, which has been divided among:
our principal charities. as named in the placards at tw
time, and to each of which—their funds being low and iq;
adequate to the noble objects they have in view—thela
respective shares of the prize will be most seasonable in
acceptable. Putting aside, and willing to forget sore
we consider) injudicious restrictions and annoyances!,
the part of certain members of the committee on that 1,.;
easion, the result, it must be admitted, is highly credite;',o
to the majority of that body, a, having acted with gene at
prudence and economy. It wasnot generally expected t"„r
the prcceeds would amount to so large a sum, by too
three hundred pounds.
