.sPORTING INTELLIGSNCE. THE MEETING AT DONCASTER. TO THI aDITOIt OF Ilia IMPIISaIt. Sra,—The striking out of Caractaeus has left the St. Leger still an open nice, and there are so many other great events in the programme of the Doncaster Meeting, ' that we shall be iti one continuous whirl of excitement from Tuesday to Friday next The stakes to be contested ' are of immense value, the added money alone amounting to 2,37 n sues. ; and with eight raced on Tuesday, seven on Wed nesday, eight on Thursday, and ten on Friday, professionals Lest needs be busy to get through their work, icr at no other m*eting of the year do we witness so much heavy betting at the post. There are not above half a dozen " btt,e raw" in the list, which is made up of two-year old, weight for age, three-year-old, two and three year old, and monster handicap stakes • and an impetus is sure to be given the Derb y betting of 1862, by the n.eetiog of the juveniles, while the Ceterewitedi and lambridgeshire acceptances, the handicape for which have given universal satisfaction, will appear in plenty of time fur speculation to commence in earnest upon them, ituniedLtely the great event is decided. On 'fue*day, the Great Yorkshire Handicap will maintain its character as a most important feature, and " the admiral" has made a truly successful hit in the north as a biotin:sipper, for it is probable we shall have one-half of them left in at the starting post, and unless Dulcibella is the grand thing the market would indicate, it will puzzle the knowing ones to discover the winner. The Makeless mare. Moorhen. Doefoot, Cowley, Conundrum, and Myrtle, that have all shown good form at times, have been Battered ; and yet there is danger in the heavily weighted Investment, who has not been fortunate in the Cesarewitch, despite his running at York. Haddington is said to have done a good thing at home, and Bedouin and Victor were always promising horses; but I do not forget the good looks of Myrtle, audit' they do not reserve her especially for the Ce sarewitch and Cambridgeshire, she or the Makeless mare might prove a little too good for Dulcibells. Cowley I would rather stand upon for the Newmarket events. The Champagne Stakes, for 2-yr-olds, nearly six furlongs, will provoke another interesting struggle on the first day, as Lord Chide!) will have to meet Armagnac, the Wasp colt, Early Purl, and Tom Foul for the first time ; and the Beau, Huguenot. and Homanoff are all supposed to make a dibut here. the reputations of the trio being rather startling. His lordship's stable companion, Trojanus, is under orders for Doncaster, but may not opposes him in this race, arid eonaequently the task of upsetting Lord Clif den must be left to the Beau, if such a diffi culty is to be accomplished, this horse being greatly liked at home. The Filly Stakes Cerintha has not much to fear in, if in her York form, and the Wasp colt may only find Ace of Hearts difficult to dispose of for the Glasgow Stakes. The Revival Plate, on the same six furlongs as the above three events, is at the mercy of lady Clifdeu, and it would not surprise me to see Wadlow's 'table win a third race—the Doncaster Plate, one mile — with Olive Branch, although she might be kept for the Portland Plate. On Wednesday the St. Leger is of course the trump card, and unless there should be some more "scratching. before the day (it is just possible there are other " safe uns" in the race, seeing the long time Caractactie was bolstered nri) the field should include moat of the following : Ace of Clubs— . Hurricane Amateur Argonaut Bert ha Blundell, Buckstone O. Ifordham. I Old Calabar .. W. Boyce. °Lowell •r, Kok Clarosa colt ... Bullock. I The Stockwell Costa 'or Knave; Lynch. colt Eschequer ... J. Adams. Warminster Garibaldi . J. Osborne. Welc.me — Harlequin J Coster. I I have not attempted to find jockeys for the doubtful starters, sad will not vouch for the correctness of the above list, as • mishap to one of the favourite. might cause many changes. The Marquis and Hurricane are both prominent favourites, although located in the same stable, and there are sceptics who now doubt which in the better animal of the two. Politic running is undoubtedly in favour of the crack, who was only beaten once throughout his career, in better company than Hurricane ever met, sad J. Scott must have another Imperiouse if he can win with the filly, who was ' hsatee very easily by Cariabrook at Ascot, it must be recol lected. The Marquis's friends have most cause to quake at Carisbrook's performance., as he easily defeated two or tine. of the lot immediately following the favourite in the Derby, and it would be hard to separate the pair. Argonaut, again, ran forward at Epsom when in anything but prime condition, and Buckatone was disappointed when coming up the dis tance, eo that Merin. A. B. and C. have a host of friends confident they can give the crack every trouble. Bertha and Bimodal's are suspected sot to like a distance, although I cannot perceive why the former should not stay ; and the mine suspicion —a very strong one too—attsclies to the doubtful starters, Ace of Clubs and Bird hill, while Caiman's and the Clubs& colt's best perform ances were over a mile. Exchequer has proved himself • good horse after two nice distances, three-quarters of a mile and one mile three furlaugs, but does not appear in much better odour than either Johnny Armstrong or the Stock well oolt, that have not advanced one point in the betting, after the decline of several prominent favourite., although from the time they have been in the market and the money put on them 10 to l each would be about their legitimate prices. The Stockwell colt is • St. Leger horse all over, and if they only bring him to the post in good condition I shall take but little notice of the market, for those connected with his stable ars good at "choking off" the public, and seldom win when they make a favourite. Buckstooe's de cline in the market there are various rumours to account for, one being( that he has the Caractacus complaiut,but the most reliable is that his trial was not satisfactory. Whatever the cause may be I have no idea of his ever being so good a borae as the Marquis, who fairly beat him on Epsom Downs, cad has done much better at home of the two horses since. Argonaut has been peppered more than once since be took up a position in the market, and at this writing be is a worse favourite than ever, the blow being struck at such a time that it must be taken cognisance of. Imperatrice's defeat at York I take but little heed of, as she always ran " in and out," and it is not impossible for her to repeat the performance of her sister lmperatrice, who, beat= like her at York, went to Doncaster and overthrew two such pots ea Blink Bonny and Ignoramus, inclusive of Tournament and other cracks. Old Calabar, I am afraid, will never be himself again ; and supposing there are cogent reasons for Argonaut's decline at such • critical time, the St. Leger must now lie between Buckatone, Bertha, Oariabrook, Exchequer, Hurricane, Imperatrice, Johnny Armstrong, the Marquis, and the Stockwell colt. The Marquis looks all over a winner on paper, sad yet the St. Leger so seldom falls to the best performer that be may be bowled over, and three such outsiders as Cerisibrook, Ea chequer, and Johnny Armstrong do him out of a place, my fancy being for this trio in the order named. The Corpora tion Plate. over the nilleT.Y.C. Interduca, 3 you, Set 131 b, must run well for, the diatomite being a little too far for Neophyte and Keane, that are equally "well in;" and C.arnerioo, 4 yrs, Sat 21b, might beat all the others. A Handicap Sweepstakes, nearly sir furlongs, is scarcely out of Brother to Morocco's compass, with the lenient weight of Bst, and Oakapple. 7st 71b. is another fair performer well treated, with Herdsman, 7st. The Municipal is the ooly other stake closed, and Tassel having won her race at York solely through her superior condition, Sir Joseph Hawley's Walden has only to equal his reputation, and he will win. On Thursday there is • grand feature in the Plate of 300 save, with a 10 vers. Sweepstakes of 35 subscribers, which will bring the prize up to 65Uf. in value. The entry is much better than can be expected for the great Cup, but would have brought out a better field had there been penalties for this year'. Cup winners as well as the Derby and St. Leger, for Tim Whiffler and Asteroid now look certain to beat all their opponents between them, and their meeting may be attended with the sane result as at Ascot, when the young one won. The Egliutou Stakes, for two and three-year-olds, one mile, have the Pilot, Wingrave, and Zetland for the only good old ones engaged, and they are all penalised, so that it will he better to trust the juveniles, of which we have seen Golden Dust aid Cairncastle go three parte of the distance and win very cleverly. The Orphan has shown thorough gameness at times, and she is the only one I can perceive likely to beat the pair, for those that take the allowance of 71b must have been beaten four times, and under them, circumstances they can hardly he expected to beat such good performers as Golden I Dust sad The Orphan. The Portland Plate, nearly six fur longs, Neophyte, 6 yrs, Sat 71b, and Keane, 3 pm. 7st 31b, are suited in, as regards the distance ' • and if 'sten:lnca, 3 yrs. Cat, can show any form in the Corporation Plate, she will be again formidable here. The others I have the greatest fancy for comprise Mire Penbill, 3 yrs, fist 41b Ace of Clutel,3 yrs, 7st 121 b, Biondella, 3 yea, 7st 10Ib, Olive Branch, 3 yrs. Tat 71b, and Egyptian, 3 yes, 7st nb. The Cleveland Handicap, one mile, Vancouver, 4 yrs, 7st Mb, could easily pick up, if in his spring form, and the weights will prevent his being kept for the Newmarket handimpe, wherein Conqueror, 4 yrs, 7st 61b, is much better treated than here, or I should couple the two. The Scarborough Stakes, for three-year olds, one mile, will suit both the Knave and Brahmin. of which 1 prefer the former ; and the Zetland Stokes, rem mile and a-half, ought to be won by Garibaldi, as I doubt Lacydes's staying, which Lord Zetland's colt can ',sorely fail in. AlO son. Sweepstakes. foe 2-yr-olds, one mile, must almost be settled by the Champagne, as we have only Avenger, Villafnuica, and Ace of Hestia en gaged, in addition to the cracks therein, and the most likely one to he reserved for this is Twisting, in consequence of Lord Clifden having incurred a llb penalty. The Doocaater Cup entries having yet to be completed, and the St. Leger and other events certain to throw • strong light oe the Doncaster, Dog and Park Hill Stakes, my observations on the last day's bill of fare most be deferred for RfeW days, sad they will be forwarded in time for your Tlluredsy's impreesion.—l am, Ite., METEOIL TATTERSALL'S. -BATIIEDAY. The anbienption was opened on Saturday afternoon foe " company " and the ordinary course of business, prior to any great meeting such as Doncaster. Betting on the St. Leger was, however, the absorbing feotnre of the afternoon's trans actions, and some important movements took place. The Martinis at last seemed to be affected by the fluctuations which have eM aloog prevailed in the turf market in con notive with this race, and was by no means so arm during the afternoon as his friends could desire. There was evi• deotiv e deal of moony in hand to lay against him, and such ins die disposition to bet that he was mat to 3to 1, odds THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1862. which were booked to • very considerable amount. Buck stone, on the other hand, was about restored to his former rank in the quotations, backers having evidently sati,:iil themselves of the groundleesuess of the re • ports that he had been Waters in his trial by Costa sod The Knave, or that he had " thrown a curb." Such was the disposition to invest in his favour that at last 6to 1 was taken freely about biro. At the commencement of business there appeared a very strong dis position to bet against Carisbrook at 8 to 1, but before the close that price was accepted with some alacrity. Hurricane was not in such force as she promised during the week, and was only tamely supported at 14 to 1, odds offered up to the finish. Exchequer, who had recently had • somewhat rhequerrd existence in the quotations, returned to somewhat approaching his previous position, and was again in demand at 14 to 1. Argoneut's fortunes appeared hopelessly wrecked, as in the City during the morning he wail so formidably op posed that he was driven to :Cl to 1, and at the " Corner" 25 to 1 was offered. Johnny Armstrong was in some request at 100 to 6, and the Stockwell colt was " quiet" at 30 to 1. Among the extreme outsiders we may mention that 50 to 1 was offered against Bertha, and Caswell and Warminster were occasionally backed at the long shots of 1,000 to 10. For the Champagne Stakes a deal of money bad been in vested in the City upon Lord Chides), and at that " pur chase money" be was made the object of renewed support at the Corner. Early Purl, notwithstanding, was backed at 7 to 2, and Haddington war made a rare " pot" for the Gnat Yorkshire Handicap, quite supplanting Dukibella for first favouritism, AS will be found in reference to the odds quoted below. For the Derby 10 to 1 was token about Lord CUM.°. Closing prices : NAVAL AND MILITARY.

There were eight competitors on each side, &ingot 200, 500, and 600 yards, five shots at each range, points and bite to be added.

There was a strong muster at "The Club," and before , 1 business commenced it was evident that some "movement" in the St. Leger betting was about to take place. Not withstanding the caution exercised, it was quickly seen that Blackstone had many friends, and although the investments in his favour were trifling, he rapidly rose into favour, and 7 to 1 was the highest offer against him at the close. Evidently there was good mosey behind Mr. Merry's horse, and it is highly probable ere the flag is lowered that he will be reinstated in his former prominent position in the betting. Exchequer, without any assignable muse, retrograded ; and the disposition to " lay" was unmistake able. Argonaut received a coup, and rumour would have it that an unfavourable trial was the cause. Speculators also seemed anxious to continue figuring against all the favour ites, and from the absence of any demonstration being made in favour of an outsider, the solution of the St. Leger of 1864 is of unparalleled difficulty.

Two of the 10/. notes so stolen had been traced to the possession of the prisoner.

A middle-aged, eare.worn, sickly-looking man, named George bf'Dougall, a Scotchman, was charged with having revoked his license as a ticket-of-leave man by subsequent misconduct. He was in 1858 sentenced to 10 yearn' penal servitude, for burglary, but at the end of May, 1860, was set at liberty on a ticket-of-leave, and returned and lived with his wife and family in Scotland. A few days ago he got embroiled in a drunken disturbance in the streets of Edinburgh, and being taken before the justices, he was hoed 10s. ,for breach of the peace, and a communication havindbeen sent by them to the Hume Secretary, the usual I order was issued for the apprehension of the prisoner and ; his re-committal to the convict prison to fulfil the remainder 'of his sentence in penal servitude. Although in dreadfully ill-health, and in consumption, the prisoner has been brought from Edinburgh by a warrant officer from Bow street. The convict said he was so ill that he hoped the magis trate would allow him medical aid at once. Since he had bad his liberty, in 1860, no complaint was made against him till he had the misfortune to have this bit of a family broil. Not content with fining him 10s., he, a dying man almost, had been dragged from his home, a nd was to be sent back to a convict prison for eight yearn, if he lived. He thought it a very hard case. Mr. Corrie said he thought so too, but be was bound to administer the law, and the order was then made out for the re-admission o f prisoner to a convict gaol. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. • • Edward Johnson, 18, Tivertonetreet, Borough ; Janus Dickinson, of Webb's County-terrace, New Kent-road; and Jots Haden, of 5, Elm-street, Gray's-inn-road, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being concerned, with others not in custody, in stealing 400 yards of cloth, of the value of 1001., the property of Mr. William Fisher, of 13 and 14, King-street, Holborn, clothworker. Albert Fisher, of 20, Krogegateetreet, Holborn, said he assisted his father, who worked for Mesas. Laudon and Holland, woollen merchants, of Bood-street. At the be- ginning of the month he had 28 pieces of cloth, the pro perty of Messrs. Landon and Holland, and sent them home in the cart by his brother ; telling his brother, after he had seen them packed, to deliverthem. He bad since ascertained from those gentlemen that only 18 pieces had been delivered. The pieces stolen contained about 40 yards, and 400 yards, of the value of 1001., had not been delivered. On the 6th inst. he accompanied his brother and Bash= to near the Ele phant and Castle, and after waiting a short time he (wit ness) sew Johnson and Dickinson, who were fetched by his brother and Haslam, and he followed them. - Heard Haslam ask the two other prisoners whether there was any chance of getting the cloth back, as there was a row about it, and they said " No." He heard his brother ask them formoney and after his brother came out of the public house he showed him 21., which he bad received from Johnson. His (whom' s) father being absent, he did not like to take any steps then. Did not know where his brother now was, but believed he had gone to sea. Sergeant Joy, 9 C, said he went in company of the last witness to Haslam's house, 5, Elm-street, Gray's-inn-lane, and he said, on soeiog him (Joy) " I know what you have come for. rve had no rest since I was eoncerned with others in stealing cloth from Mr. Fisher, and if you will allow me to go with you I will point out the men concerned in it ;" and he accompanied him (Joy) to Johnson's house, and then to Dickinson's residence. Subsequently the whole of the prisoners were taken into custody, when nazism said Johnson and Dickinson were the men who assisted in steal ing the cloth and selling it, but they denied it. The prisoners were remanded for a week, bail being re fused. John Wallace, who refused to give any account of him self, except that he had come up from Manchenter to see the Exhibition, was charged with stealing a puree, con taining 7e. iu @flyer, tic., from the person of Miss Elisabeth Ann Taylor, of Myddletomroad, Wigton, at Waterloo station on the previous evening. ' The proeecutrix had gone with her father to see a friend off by a train, and just as it was in motion she felt a hand in her pocket, and her purse was gone. She instantly charged the prisoner with the robbery, and as he made off she told her father, who followed him, and he then ran through the engine shed, pursued by Franklin, one of the railway officials. and jumped from a turn-table 15 feet high, but was still pursued, and when captured he struggled desperately, the purse being still io his hand. He, how ever, managed to threw it intoan adjacent stoneyard, where it was found. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was committed for six months, with hard labour. Henry Pafford and Charlotte Carter were charged with plucking choice flowers at the Crystal Palace. Page, one of the gardeners, sew them pluck the flowers, and be gave them into custody. The prisoners pleaded very hard, and expressed much contrition for what they admitted was an act of thought lessness. Mr. Elliott told them that at their time of life they ought to be ashamed of themselves for their conduct. The directors of the Crystal Palace spared no expense in pro viding for the gratification and amusement of their visitant, and should be protected from such petty and diagraoeful acts of robbery as plucking choice flowers. Hoping, how ever, that the night's imprisonment they had suffered, to gether with the disgrace which they had brought upon themselves by the exposure, would operate as a caution for the future, he discharged them. itto, 1,1 THOMAS v.

To-day's import is 2,040 bales. COTTON GOODS.—Msscarsmo,EMPT.l.3.—The market I opened at the commencement of this week with a downward tendency in the price of cloth, partly attributable to the inactive state of the Liverpool cotton market, but it was also partly the natural result of the large business of last week, and the very considerable rise of prices consequent thereupon. On Tuesday shirtiop could not be sold without a reduction of 6d. per piece, but in fact there were few sellers, most of the cloth being held by speculators, and these were in few instances willing to relinquish their ventures without some better reason for a decline than has yet transpired. There was, no doubt, mush distrust for the moment created by the refusal of the Liver• pool brokers to give a return of the stock of cotton. A little reflection served to show that to whatever extant the returnsalready published might mislead, it was pretty certain there could not possibly be an amount of cotton in Liver poo l very materially to affeet prioes. The consequence has been that holders of both earn and cloth have been gradually re. pining confidence. During the week and to-day sellers are asking full rates. There are few, however, if any buyers at these rates, though it is probable that if no advises from a T ty e litarter come to band to disturb confidence before next y. we shall see a renewal of activity among specu lators. The market closes quiet but firm. WOOLLENS. Lame, Sam 13.—The market this mornieg was one of an average character. There was a tolerable attendance of buyers in the Coloured Hall, and several very fair parcels of goods changed bands, chiefly disgonals and other fancy makes. Plain goods were not much inquired for. In the White.hall a good business was transacted in autumn fabrics of various descriptions. Prices remain firm. HARDWARE.—BiIifir4GBAN, Sur. 13.—The repats relative to the date of trade in this town continue to be of afavourablecharacter. There is a continued increase of orders given out on account of the home trade ; the effect of this is that at none of the manufactories in the town are the men upon short time, and the outworkers are generally better employed. The complaints so general amongst the manu facturers a coop's of mouths ago have subsided, and it is only in some of the fancy trades that the languor is other than partially felt. The increasing demand for material is a convincing proof that trade is generally_ more active, as is also the fact of the rolling mills being more busily engaged. The foreign trade continues steady ; the continental orders in are about an average; there is a good sprinkling of orders in for the West Indies, our trade with that quarter being tolerably healthy. The Brazilian trade is depressed, and with the River Plate there is not much doing ; the reports as to these markets must, how ever, be regarded as exceptional to those which relate generally to the export trade. The manufacturing trades carried on in the adjoining district are all of them in a more healthy state; indeed there is so small an amount of labour out of employment that it is impossible there au be much of depression in tarter.

The somewhat unusual circumstance of the launch of two ships from one yard in one day took place on Satur day last, at the yard of Mr. Charles Langley, at Deptford Green Dock, Deptford. One of the ships is built of iron and the other of wood. The one which is constructed of iron is a beautiful large vessel with fine Hose, having a length over all of 22t feet, length on deck 202 feet, and between perpendiculars 200 feet ; breadth 32 :feet, depth of hold 22 feet 6 inches, tonnage 934 73.94, builders' measurement. The thickness of the iron plate is 1246ths of an inch, with • guaranteed tensile strain of 20 tons per inch. The wooden vessel is of smaller dimensions, her tonnage being 498 63-94, her length over all 189 feet 6 inches, on deck 173 feet 6 inches, and between perpendiculars 165 feet ; breadth, r ,extrerne, 25 fest 3 inches, and for tonnage 25feet ; and depth in hold 17 feet 11 Maim The ships have been built for Messrs. Phillips, Shaw, and Lowther, of the City of London, and are both intended for the China trade. A little before five o'clock the tide then serving, the dog-- shores were knocked from under the iron ship, and she slid gracefully into her native element amid the cheers of the spectators, the ceremony of "christening" being per formed by Mrs. Phillips, who named the vessel " The Reigate." The shipwrights then turned their attention to the sister vessel, and in ten minutes or so they liberated her from the dog-shores which bad held her, and she instantly glided into the river, and with as much grace as her prede comer bad done, and as she did so she was christened by Mrs. Shaw "The Kestrel." After the 'lunch Mr. Langley gave a banquet to a number of hie friends in the mould loft, a large and roomy building in the yard, which bad been fitted up for the occasion. " Success to the new vessels" wss drunk with much en thusiasm, and Mr. Langley, in responding, stated that these two vessels made up the number of 70 which had been launched in his yard since it was established some ten years ago, and he added, with pardonable pride, not one of those vessels bad been lost. THE TEMPORARY ST. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL. The late Music Hall at the Surrey-gardens has been completely adapted for its new purpose of • tempo rary hospital, and will be opened to-day for both in and out patients. The arraugenients which have been made are of • very complete and satisfactory character, and considering the shortness of the time which has elapled since the work commenced the progress made haabeen very remarkable. The building has been entirely covered in with • circular root of galvanized iron, and in the interior of the building two floors have been erected. The ground floor is set apart as an accident arid casual ward ; and waiting rooms for out patients, with physicians and surgeons' consulting rooms, and • very commodious dispensary. The first floor is ap propriated for male patients, the secood or upper one for female patients, the rows of beds for surgical and medical cases being separated by • partition running down the centre of each floor. A lift has been provided in the well of one of the staircases by which patients and their beds may be mimed, thus obviating the necessity of ascending the staircases. By this lift also provisions, clothing, and other necessaries will be supp lied . The kitchen formerly connected with the refreshment depart ment of the Mus ic Hell has been converted into • hospital kitchen, and a covered way has beee constructed, along which carriages heated with hot water will run upon rails to convey the food to the ascending lift. The portion of the building which was used as refreshment rooms has been fitted up for the staff of nurses in training under Miss Nightingale, and is fitted with every convenience and requisite for enabling them to acquire a knowledge of their useful profession, such as lay figures for teaching the art of bandaging, and other matters so essential for nurses to be practically acquainted with. The training establishment is sapported out of the Nightingale fund, Mr. Whitfield and Mrs. Wardrupper having been appointed to the responsi ble duty of superintending this department. Accommo dation is provided for fifteen of these nurses, and for the superintendent, /dn. Wardrupper. The accommodation for in-patients is equal to 2.50 beds and each person has an average of 2,300 cubic feet of air, which is nearly eight times as much as is required under the provisions of the Poor-law Act for inmates of union workhouses, 300 cubic feet being the minimum for a sleeping - room, and 500 THE POOR IN Sr. PANCRa/L — At the weekly cubic feet where the sleeping and dining room are combined. meetingof the directors of the poor of St. Pancras, a comma- There is • space of five feet between each bed, so that, in nication was read from the Poor-law Board on the subject the event of its being necessary, further additions to the of a recent inquest held by Dr. LankeMer on the body of a number may be made without inconvenience to the attend. poor woman who, it was alleged, had been cruelly thrust ant. and nurses, or injury to the health of the patients. out of her lodgings, and had died of want.
