raw GREAT ST. IRGER STAKES. (BY EXPRESS.) DONCASTER, TUESDAY SIGITT, 12 o'CLoar. glie intense interest which this long looked for and sexbusly expected race has excited is perhaps unprece gated in the annals of racing. The Derby and Oaks in ; the early part of the year were brilliantly attended, nor iu expectation disappointed in the almost countless multi- I Hides that assembled. The St. Leger, however, not only kr excise& these celebrated home sports, but it is scarcely risible to guess at the numbers which this day crowded the course. The Yak festival might boast of its thousands and tens of thousands—its brilliancy of rank—its attractions—its tuperalleletl performance—but all must give way to the • apleadid scene which presented itself on the present occa- I J im. Carriages and six, barouclies, and bung-ep fours-in hand, graced the course in great numbers. Every vehicle wiling 90 miles, of every description, was in requisition, s od the Johnny Raw. (it' Yorkshire may have any) stuck st on (rides in their selection ; the equestrians were innu merable, and the trotters were of a superior description from the want of aonveyanceB, and tag-rag and bob-tail might be seen at an early hour " plodding their weary way" to the scant of action Check-by jowl with the bourgeois of all the eurrouuding villages. If a foreigner could have be he'd the tout ensemble he would have been unable to ex- ' press his astonishment ; for, even to us who have witnessed every species of mobility, it was a novelty. Towns, vil lages, hamlets, all had disgorged themselves, not only of the heads of the families, but even Joan and her unshod Mosocesis joined the congregated mass. The elegant dresses of the ladles in their carriages, with the party-coloured, ind ali-colourcd.iletmentieke of the rustic damsels, gave an enlivening ;and indescribable appearance to the whole, which would require the pencil of a Hogarth totive any ides of. The Stand each day has been crowded at one guinea 8-head, and the net produce of the admissions was de clared after the St. Leger, to Mr. Lockwood, the judge, to be 4,090 guineas, being nearly 300 guineas muse than ever was taken before. 11:1 Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex arrived here at sae o'clock to-day, and at two proceeded to the Course. The were also present his Highness the Duke of Bruns wick, Prince Schwartzenburgh, Prince RousomoiFaki Baron Eutaw, and many other foreigners of distinction. The Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry were in swat by the Judge's Stand, partitioned off, and in the stand was the Duke of Devonshire, and several of his friends. We also observed-- The Dukes of Portland, Watt Mid, Toed.; Alarquises Blandford, Wormier, Titbitsld, Exeter. Queenbeny ; Lords Darlington, Qmiondi, F. and W. Bentinck, Clements, J. Fitzroy, C. Fitzroy, Bloke, A. Hill, Lvodock. liurghersh, Gort, Wallace, Scarbo woe. Pelham, Ashby : Earl's, Chesterfield. Orford, Muncastcr, fitswilliam„ Sefton; bards Notarauby.

The betting on the St. Leger has this year been so ex traordinary, as almost to exceed belief. Cleveland has been the principal object of speculation, and about him the fluctuations from the last Doncaster races to the present time hare been unprecedented; every manoeuvre has been resorted to in order to make him a source of profit : one day he has been thrown back, and the next brought up, thus giving the knowing ones a certainty of gaining if he was, and of not losing if lie was beat; in fact, techni cally, he bas been a good book-horse, and has afforded ample scope far the inventive and calculating quali fications of the Bulls did Bears of the Betting-room, lle has also been the source of speculation in all parts of the country, where nothing but Cleveland was though: of; he was put down as safe to win, the others being entirely out of the question. The other favourites have also been very extensively speculated on, but the bet ting about them has been chiefly guided by public running. Hernnon in particular has not varied from his station as first favourite (except for a few days, when Cleveland beaded him). Since the last St. Leger he was brought into high favour by his success at the last meeting, and confirms& in it by his subsequent performauoes. About Atom' 'nothing definite was raid till the last York Meet ing, where he won the 30-soy. stakes. This brought kiwi up, and by a great many good judges he was Looked to w:a, but others considered him too fleshy, and fancied that he was a roarer ; but this we doubt, as he came in for the Ott-mentioned stakes quite fresh. His trial with Figaro au said to be favourable, and raised him greatly in the bet ting-list; but the defeat of that horse by Lottery was calcu lated to remove that impression, and he would very pro bably harc receded, but for King Catton, by the same sire, winning the Champagne yesterday. He is a very powerful horse, and capable of a deal of wear and tear. We now come to the races, which were this day admir ably conducted. The business-of the course was, notwith standing the crowd, well executed, and accidents prevented. The races commenced with the Two-year-old Stakes, which, with the others, will be found accurately detailed as follows: Two Year Old Produce Stakes of 100 gs. each, h. ft.. foe colts, Bst. lib. ; fillies, Bat.

On Friday afternoon last, between five and six o'clock, a most distressing scene was witnessed on our river, near Fisher's Quay, caused by the upsetting of a boat. A large party of ladles and gentlemen, consisting of Mr. Andrews, the Misses Sarah, Catherine, Mary, and Frances Andrews, son and daughters of the late Rev. Mr. Andrews, of Flemp ton Hall, near Bury, the Rev. Mr. Harris, Mr. Power, and Mr. Cape, engaged a boat in the morning of the above day of Mr. J. Stone, on the North Quay, for the purpose of enjoying a sail on that fine piece of water near this town called i3raydon. The party left Mr. Stone's Quay about eleven o'clock, and had spent the day in the most pleasant and agreeable manner possible. On their return, when near Turner's Bowling Green, it was suggested that they should land there, but a man, named James Bull, in the em ploy of Mr. Stone, observing their intention, advised them to proceed to the place from whence they started, and there land; Bull, then, unsolicited, got into the boat with the party, for the purpose. of &misting them down with it. The boat afterwards gently dropped down the river with the tide, shout 200 yards further, when they arrived at Mr. Stone's Quay, where they were about to land. One of the gentlemen here got ii.to a smaller boat, in which were two boys, and was put on shore. Bull then threw the jib-halyard to the gentleman on shore, for him to make it fast, without properly securing it first to the side of the beat, which he ought to have done ; the rope was thus tut from the mast-head to the shore. The tide was running very strung at the time, which caused the head of the boat to sheer oft' from the shore, consequently it was carried round with its side to the current, and, owing to the rope being improperly fast at the mast-head, it upset, when all on board were precipitated into the river. The distress ing and heart-rending scene that followed may be imagined, which it is scarcely possible to describe. Eight individuals were seen in the water struggling for life, with their hats, bonnets, oars, &c. floating about in all direction., and from the strength of the tide they were carried into the middle of the raver, which increased the apprehensions for their safety. The accident was observed by many people, who gave the alarm, and several boats immediately put off to their assistance, some without oars, others with only one, and from the confusion which necessarily ensued, it was much doubted whether any of them could be saved. We are, however, happy to add, that the passengers were almost miraculously watched by those in boats from a watery grave, some of them in a very exhausted state, the spark of , life being nearly extinct. The gentlemen suffered but little inconvenience, as they were, we understand, able to swim, and thus kept themselves above water; but the ladies Boated down the river, buoyed up only by their clothes, sonic of diem nearly to the bridg.,, a distance of 200 yards, before they were picked up. The first female that was landed was Miss S. Andrews, in a very exhausted state; she was immediately taken to the St. John's Head public-house, where every assistance was rendered, and she soon recovered. The other three, as they were brought on shore, apparently in a lifeless state, were taken to the house of our Mayor elect, Charles Costerton, Esq. which was soon filled with friends anxious to render their assistance. Mr. Costerton (who is an eminent surgeon of very extensive practice) was fortunately at home, or the lives of some of the young ladies would most probably not have been spared. The usual means for restoring suspended anima tion were resorted to by Mr. Costerton and assistants, who shortly , succeeded in restoring two of them. Considerable apprehensions were entertained about Miss C. Andrews, it I being full ten minutes before the least appearance of life In her could be produced ; she was, however, eventually re stored to her friends. The three ladies were put to bed at Mr. Costerton's, where they remained that night, receiving the kindest attentions from Mr. and Mrs. C. They were removed to their lodgings in Harrison's-buildings on the following day, and we are happy to hear they are all fast recovering. The most distressing part of this unfortunate occurrence remains to be related, that of one life being lost. James Bull, the man who went on board unsolicited, was in the boat when it upset, and has never since been seen or heard of. It is supposed he must have been stunned by a blow on the boat going over, as he was an excellent swim mer. The body of Bull has not yet been found. He has left a wife and five small children, the whole of whom have been bad with the small-pox, and a sixth child died about a fortnight since of the same dreadful disease. We therefore hope, from the distressing situation in which the family is thus suddenly placed, some humane individual will take up their case, and befriend the widow and the fatherless. PANATICISX.—Ahout three week" ago, a notice was posted at the entrance of the town of I)evonport, announc ing " Tim John Rowe, a servant of God, who had travelled into foreign countries, would, on Sunday after noon, preach in the Brick Field the doctrine of the redemp tion of the body." This man, who it seems professes to follow the creed of Johanna Soutbcott, told his auditors that it was necessary to eternal salvation, to wear the beard uncut, or according to his own words, "As the beard lengthened, the faith strengthened ; and since that period, five shipwrights of the dock yard have left off shaving, and they are at present going about the street , looking more like " hirsati atityri" than men. They express a firm de termination to contioue unshorn to the end of their days, in spite of the persecutions and scoffing' of unenlightentri sinners.—Wcstgra Lu Pi ina7. CHRIST'S HOSPITAL. Yesterday, being St. Matth.rtv's Day, the two anior scholars of this ancient and most excellent Institution de livered, according to custom, one a Latin, and the Other an English oration. After hearing (Heine service in the neighbouring churth, the Loud Mayor s Sheriffs, Geyver nors of the Institution, &c. entered the Hall at half-p.ast one o'clock, and took their scats. Benches were ranged round the Hall for the acc,:mmodation of the audience, which principally consisted of the friends and relations oI the scholars—many of them ladies, evidently mothers and sisters, anticipating the time when their'sons, or brothers, should rise and gratify their affection by a similar public ,testimony of their advancement in learning. A platform I was raised at the lower end of the Hall, exactly facing the Lord Mayor, Sheriff:, &c, who occupied the upper part ; the lower end behind the platform was occupied by the scho lars. It would be needless to mention the healthy appearance of these boys, as it has become nearly proverbial. As soon as the Lord Mayor had taken his seat, the two vouths who were the chief objects of interest on this, to 'them, eventful day, mounted the platform. Both had intelligent countenances, and both indented themselves to the public with a sufficient degree of confidence, and yet not without that modesty (we do not mean shamefaced ness) which generally is, and we Dope always will be cha racteristic of the British youth. Their names were H. Leighton and T. Blown. Mr. Leighton began with the Latin oration, and was followed. by Mr. Brown with the English. The subjects of both were the Hospital, educa tion, &c. The Latin was a fair specimen of this class of classical productiobs; there was s little stiffness in the style in one or two instances, but not more than is met with in the gen era l run o f mocisen Latin compositions. The English hal the-seoompireakiloiva nai beillg too long, but had no snore than its peaks...or munch claim to novelty on the score of subject. Ms elution was made to the new edifice that was building, and as was said by Mr. Brown, in so many words, it was not begun bdore it was wanted. Both the orations were remarkably well de livered, and deservedly drew down time most hearty ap plause, which must have been as gratifying to the masters who have thus brought them forward as encouraging to the youths who have done their instructors so much credit. A handsome collection was afterwards made, for the benefit of the young men. Refreshments were handed round to the ladies, after which the auditory departed, highly gratified. THE CHURCH. The Lord Bishop of Winchester has collated the Rey. Rich. Pretyman, Canon Residentiary of Lincoln, his Lord ship's youngest son, to the sinecure Rectory of Elinplon Wroughton, Wilts, vacant by the death of the Rev. Ed mund Ferrer,. On Thursday last the Hon. and Rev. A. A. Tumour was instituted to the Vicarage of Besthorpe, in the county of Norfolk, on the presentation of the Right Hon. the Earl of Win tenon. Mr. R. Arrowsinith, but no relation to the celebrated pigeon shot of that name, backed himself' or 50 sovereigns, to kill thirty head of game in three hours, on Tuesday, over the old Compton manor, beginning near Wader Mill, Herts. In the first hour Mr. A. bagged seven birds and two hares with a single barrelled gun ; In the second hour eleven birds and a hare, and in the third hour ten birds and three hares: total S.L. Five misses took place in the match. The sporting race of forty miles, between Captain Leth. bridge and Mr. R. Robinson, for one hundred sovereigns, will take place this day, the latter receiving two miles. A gentlemau of the name of Holdsworth bets the Captain 501. A similar accident to that which occurred last week in Portsmouth, happened about two year s s in ce i n th e Ply mouth yard: A bridge at the end of the South or Basin Dock gave way, though, from the few persons passing, two only were drowned. The bodies of these unfortunate persons were taken up by Mr. Smith, clerk of the works, who de manded in the dirritagobell. A youth of the name of Pewsey, In crossing Oxford street, in his way to Hyde Park yesterday, was kicked in the abdomen by a horse which a groom, mounted, was leading, and he was killed upon the spot. He was an ap prentice in Green-street, Oxford-street. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday week a Mr. and Mrs. Phillips and their child, who reside in Wirrall, in Cheshire, and had been on a visit in Wales, a young man named Davies, and two other persons, left Mostyu, near Holywell, in a small boat, with the intention of crossing the estuary of the Dee to Hoylake, on the opposite shore of Cheshire. They had proceeded a mile or two on their course, when, a gale of wind suddenly coining on, the boat was upset, and the passengers met with a watery grave. The catastrophe was observed from the high lands near Mostyn, but there was no possibility of affording the slightest assistance.—Gore's Liverpool Advertiser. FATAL. ACCIDENT..--A young man named NPLaughlin, a currier, belonging to this town, having on Monday last gone out to amuse himself with a gun, shot a wild fowl at Grinan Lough. 'f he bird fell in the water, at the distance of about twenty yards from the shore, on which Mr. BPLaughlin, who was an excellent swimmer, stript off his clothes, and swam to where it lay, amongst docks and other weeds. Here he stuck fast in the mud and weeds ' • he called for help, but although, a s w e a re inf orme d, several country people were looking on, not one of them had the courage or humanity to attempt his relief. He struggled for a few minutes against his impending fate, hut alas! in vain. Nature could sustain hint no longer, and the water passed over his body. His wife, to whom he had been married exactly a fortnight, was sitting on an adjacent hill, waiting his return. She saw his danger, and with all a wife's anxiety and alarm, flew to the water side ; but, 0 pitiable sight ! she arrived only in time to witness the last expiring struggle of her husband. Her distress and agony may be imagined, but cannot be described. The deceased was in his 22d year, and bore an excellent cha racter.—Newry TelegrapA. ALARMING FIRE.—Ablt two o'clock yesterday morning la fire of a most destructive appearance broke out in the house of Messrs. Kay and Co. linen-drapers, No. 13, King-street, Covent-garden, which almost instantaneously communicated to the house No. 11, occupied by Mr. Downes, a woollen-draper, and threatened destruction to the adjoining buildings. The fire must bare broken out in the back part of the house, for at all times the ba c k part of the hous e s on fir e looking *to the church-yard I burnt with greater fury than they did in King-street. The difficulty of getting water, although plentiful, to the rear of the burning houses through Covent-garden Church yard was such that in a short time the backs of the houses fell into the church-yard. At the same time the top of the house No. 12, occupied by a tailor, caught fire, and it was distressing to hear the cries of the females from the WA windows. After their own pre servation, property o, every description was thrown indis criminately from the back windows into the church-yard, where a great number of persons got in by forcing the iron gates facing the western cull of the church. The re a r o f the printing-office of Mr. Harjette, of No. 0, Bedford street, looking into the church-yard, wns in great danger at one time; but, fortunately, from the strong party wall be tween Mr. Downes's house and No. 13, occupied by Mr. Nutting, a button-manufacturer, which screened that part lof the printing-office, these valuable premises were pre served without any injury. On this occasion the supply of water was plentiful, and the firemen, as usual, were most active in the performance of their arduous duties. At one time we saw ten engines playing upon the burning houses in King-street, and two snore, under every difficulty, were at work in the churelt-yard. We did not bear of any acci dent during the calamity. A cCIDIta T.—On Saturday morning, as one of the West minster Dairy Company's carts was Im:ceding on its way to wards St. John's-wood farm, with s boy mimed tletrge An drews, about eleven years of ags, riding Ott the shafts, the horse, , which, was blind, wanted to turn up the wrung rout, which the boy endeavoured to present, and in so doing, the horse got Close up to the corner of a brick wall. The boy, to save himself from die apparent danger of bring crushed against the wall, jumped off the shafts, when the ridge hook caught and drove through his hat into his head. lie fell down, and the wheels passing over his head, fractured his skull in so dreadful a manner as to cause hie imme. diste death. It appears, on inquiry, that the foreman of the Coin. pony had ordered a man of the name of %k'eetttm to take the cart to St. John's-wood Farm, to be repaired ; and instead of so doing, he had seta the unfortunate boy, who was not in the em ploy of the Company.

CORONER'S INQUEST. —- - - Yesterday evening at inquisition was taken at the Town-house.' Mile-end-road, before J. I% . Ilowlst, Esq. the Coroner, on view of the body of el female, whose name is untmenta. The body fay at the parish workhouse, where the Jury viewed ft. It seemed to be that of a female sheet SO. sal who during her life must bare poetessed considerable personil charms. It appeared in evidence that It was, Mund in the Regen Canal on Monday morning, about five O'clock. There were a number of pawnbrokers' duplicates, amounting to thirty, three keys, and a thimble in her pocket. Some of the du plicates bore the name of Mary Ann Smith, and others of Anne Mary Smith; they were fur a satiety of articles from the finest fe. made apparel down to the most insignificant. One of them was for so low a sum as sixpence, which seemed to indicate that the unfor tunate woman was at the lowest ebb of misery. There were no marks of violence on her person. She was dressed in a gown with red spots, a brown stuff petticoat, black straw bonnet, white stock ings, and slipper shoes. She was about lire feet aix inches ill height. The CORONS2 observed, that the probable supposition was, that the deceased, urged by the most pressing want, bad destroyed her self; but, as there was no evidence of the fact, the only verdict, in his opinion, they could return was that she was found drowned. The Jury agreed in this opinion, and returned their verdict ac cordingly. MEMOIR OF GENERAL BESSIERES. General Bessieres was born in the South of France, of low and obscure parentage. His pouch, it is generally, asserted, was not without its errors, and it was generally reported that he fled his native country to escape the hand of justice. He chose Spain as his Asylum, entered into' the military service, and held the rank of Captain when 1 he was arrested on suspicion of forming one of a secret society fur establishing a Republic in the Peninsula ; being convicted, he was condemned to death by the tribunal of Barcelona, but his life was preserved from the following circumstance : by the laws of Spain, when an individual is condemned to death, he prepares for the execution of the sentence by three days' prayers and confessions, in a chapel where he is confined, and from which he is led to the place lof execution, but, if by any extraordinary circumstance the prisoner remains in the chapel of expiation beyond the term fixed, he is pardoned. Bessieres had this happiness, he afterwards solicited the clemency of the King, and upon a report made to Ferdinand by M. Bardaxi, the then I Minister of the Interior, was pardoned ; but his name was I erased from the army lists, and he was ordered to quit the Spanish territory. Wnether Bessieres was fearful of his native country, or whether he still preserved some hope in Spain, is not certain, but he took refuge on the frontiers, where he led a miserable existence. It was here he resided in 1820, when the events which took place gave him an opportunity of raising and disciplining a number of troops, and with them repaired to the environs of Madrid, in the province of Cuenca. He assumed the rank of Field- Ma:she], and wore the uniform, and in this quality com manded the troops under his orders. Towards the end of the campaign Beesieres had esta blished his bead-quarters at fluetta, a small town, twenty miles from Madrid. It was here that he struggled against the Constitutionalists, and by his intrepidity astounded their Government. He displayed great firmness and pru dence, and suffered no violence to be done by his soldiers in the towns and villages which he occupied. Ile was ex cessively rigid in his mode of life; slept but seldom, and trusted no one, having been several times on the point of being betrayal to the Constitutionalists. The removal of the Government to Seville, then to Cadiz, and the arrival lof the French troops, put a stop to or deranges( all the po lkas of Bessieres ; but Pie held out his position at Iluetta till the entry of the French into Madrid. The King, on his return, received Bessieres, and confirmed his former rank. Since that time he constantly resided at Madrid, and always appeared at Court, where, however, he was little noticed, undoubtedly on account of his origin, and became very discontented with the state of things, and at seeing men preferred before him, but still always appear ing devoted to Ferdinand, and accompanied hie Majesty in 1824 to the waters of Sacedon. Perhaps Resaieres had secret motives in making this voyage. The King traversed a part of the province of Cuenca, the theatre of Bessieres' efforts in the Royalist cause, and the populace spoke of him with enthusiasm. All this assiduity on the part of Bes sieres towards the King, and his conduct at the head of the Royalist party, apparently merited in his eyes greater favour than he enjoyed. lint Ferdinand did not even be stow on him the cross of St. Ferdinand ; and there is little doubt but discontent and ambition were the cause of the revolt of this inveterate Royalist, for which he suffered, and which Ferdinand might have avoided, bad he, by an act of common generosity, bestowed on him those honours , which his attachment to his person and his,serv;cea un• 1 duubtedly merited.—Ft each railer.
