The signal being given, the mare went off in fine style, rode by her favourite jockey, Dovntitt.

TRIAD HEAT. This heat was uncontrootily interesting. The mare had quits recovered front the Mitering shock, and took the lead fro:n the post tit the thirst possi- ble style. We lia , latinost forgot to mention one , circumstance which gave a peculiar character to the sport :—The course awl in the worst condition that can be conceived ; the ground was in most irlaces so rotten, that it crumbled into dust the. Anoment it was touched by the horses' feet. In other parts it abounded with man-trap; mu) springs, Or was so broken up, and intersected and colt with ruts, as to be 'comely paw►bla. Here the mare bud a greet advantage. Besides her superi ority in lightness and agility, she was perfectly acquainted with the course, and chose the safe ground ; while the other horses, dashing forward promiscuously, were every moment in dunger of breaking their necks. This was particularly the vibe at the Trial's puss, a deep and deceitful quagmire. Old HUXLEY, one of the helpers, will stationed there its a linger-twist ; but whether from inadvertence or design, we do not pretend to say, he threw out a false signal. The consequence, however, was decisive—the mare cleared the pass with her usual agility. Mr. WARDLOI peachei, who came next, bos/eil awl shyed, and aetnelly refused the whip. Mr. VICILEKY'S Gibby, who was third, not aware of the dan ger, plunged in, and was up to the *Addle skirts I efore he knew where he was : all the other horses following in rapist riwression, shared the same fate. and were over head and ram in the qua mire, from which, after they hail remained several how's rolling. and kicking, and tomblitz, they were at length, nrith great difficulty, dragged nut dry wain force, quite exhausted, and knocked up for the season. It is almost needless to add, that the mare won this heat in a cauter.—ln the fourth heat she walked over, no horse, mare, or gelding, daring. to start against her.

After the Cloyk bed read the Iteeptisition, stat ing the purpose for which the Court were asseta bled, Mr. Cmonneilefte *aid, it would not be nem. vary to enter into a fell detail of all the matters connected with the subject before the Curia, as they hid already been well considered by the public, and were remitter to every one.

If we looked over the folio rattle present reignove should find that it was to this influence we were to attribute many of out misfortunes. When public opinion e:sikied ground fur a reform in Parliament, +mine thing was started to check its tore, utter it had Swett espoused t.v the combinatimi rat' individuals, and great charucters had been helmed to corns re gulritims. This mischievous influence was used iii encouraging our quarrels with Finney--when the people expressed their desire for peace, they were put down under its contrail. So, whetters r the opinions of the people had ever lwen fairly express ed, or had tesmined a tangible slitqw, it then at tractra the uitentiou of 'these in power, and was lost its the Mitusterial vortex.

The preponderance of this interest was strikingly evident ill effecting the Union with Ireland ; there the people lost their voice. and a botch of mercenaries were brought over into this country, which chewed the necessity of niantaitang a counterbitlaticing interest ; at present the pre ponderance was so immense, through the civil reeds lishineut, and the army and navy, Veit unless the people stuck together, their iilicrty would .be entirely lost. Those who held up this lutignage were represented as the enemies of this country ; but those who well know how to appreciate the country and the constitution, rceoguised theta as the country's frieeds, mid that those who recom mended a different course, would subject the, coun try to the treminels of tyranny.-e-The Worthy Commoner then adverted to the delicate eituatiou in Ivlin.h Colonel Wardle was placed, when he iirmight finalist his charge against the Duke of York; with all this seeret influence opposed to him, nail without the support of any one, he felt him self in that situatirm, that not a whisper must esespe him. lest he should lose the ground which at such risks lie hail attained ; his patriotism and his firmness could tout have been more conspicuous even at a siege, or in the field of combat. The advantages likely to result to the country were very great ; through his interference the public were put on their gulled, and they would se ex presss their opirenne, he hoped, as would ever pre emit our again seeing a Parliament dismayed, that their representatives might take the advantage of their worst priseions.—effear ! hear!/ The ty rout of Europe obtained advantages by the se cret influence he lied alluded to; and it was a le preach to our Representatives, that they shoold stand forth the advocate of manifest guilt, and plead for the 4111ChlfiRCe of it little iuesperieuce, . sad a iitaa-ferieurality.

Mr. MILLAR svcontled the tine, and in &nog so, staid, it was impownble for them to express sherd selves Lou strongly to voting their thnaks to Mr. Wardle, as his public conduit had been most spi rited and independent of personal cosiOderotions.
