. .111 SIERRA LEONE. (From the Glusgtne Conrier.l A respectable gentleman has put into our hands a long letter from a friend of his, who was in Sierra Leone on the 26th January last, at the date thereof. Where lie sow is, is another question ; but he does most fervently pray that he was out of that horrible place. IVe invert the most striking parts of the letter, and in his own words. What a scene of misery and disease and death does it disclose to our view ! That the magnificent battles said to be fought on Cape Coast should be a hoax played off upon John Bull is really not surprising, considering the delusions which. during the last fifty years, have been played off upon John's credulity regarding Sierra Leone ; but that there could be found a spot on earth so pestilential and so fatal to the human race, as to render it necessary for men in authority to have a t ertificate from a superior that that being was alive wh6 spoke to them face to face, is what we did no; expect to hear of till we heard of it from and in Sierra Leone. Really, we helivve we must have a certificate from the Colonial tame that there is such a spot as Sierra Leone in the world " Sierra Leone, January 28. 1826. " I am still in the land of the living, as you may suppose ; but 1 - . thiii cotton one's own assertion is not sufficient, as the military ugonts. when about to pay the troops, in addition to the account of the individual, that he is alive, require also the certificate of th e anurnanding officer of the corps. You can form no idea of this horrible climate. Most of the officers lately come out, are dead. (put of the number of 700 men, some time ago in high health and spirits, and ready to go against the Ashamed, if that had been ne cessary, it would now be difficult to find fifty, or half that number, tit for duty. bast year a detachment, consisting of 110 soldiers and six o ffi cers, medical commissaries included, were sent to garrison the Isles de Loss. Five officers are dead. The men are all nearly so. The survivors are wretched, miserable looking spectres. — Amongst the military, it consists with my knowledge, that one company, on a particular station, was three times reinforced in a short period. In one month (August) out of 89, six serjeants and 23 privates died ! Captain Rosa, Aide-de.eatnp, and Lieutenant Turner extra, died since the beginning of this month. This is the second nephew the Oencral has lost. His two nieces are still living, but they go home Its the first ship. The men composing the corps which are sent out from Britain, being culprits and convicts, ex ceed any thing I ran state, in licentiousness, depravity, and vil lany. They see nearly all low Irish. The crimes which are com mitted In one company in a week would ext.:id belief. When a fresh batch dimes out and are landed, the scenes are dreadfnl„ and did not the climate and fever carry them off so fast, I know not what we should do. The Senior Lieutenants on the coast, at pre. sent. are principally clerks, &c. eho were appointed pro trropore, by the late Sir Charles Macenhy, and confirmed by the Govern. went tes home. Some of these know not tin which side to wear their gourd*. With regard to the war on the Gold Coast. a more infamous hoax was never pre tiseti than the battles fought with those na. groet—the eiream.tancea I had from an officer who was present. The late Sit Charles 3l•Carthy,by his goodness, had endeared him. melt' te As native blacks ; on a palaver or quarrel breakt..g out he main, was able to settle it for them. The Ashaotees and Akim people, pith the Fantees, had a quarrel ; Sir Charies was then on ribs (lola Coast. Sr heard the Ashantees were corning down, and Went to meet them with the hand of the African corps. several Mcrchants and adventurers. and a few black soldiers, to make a a` , ow wish. On their meeting the Ashantea, Sir Charles ordered te band to play " God wore the King." and advanced to meet t. ern on friendly terms. The barbarians seeing the small number, vtl at him and the others who were with him, and killed and wounded several, put all the white men they could seize, except ine, to death, whose name was why has since told as many luts respecting this great battle as bee made Government give him a situation here of 2.04 01. per annum. The next battle of. Colonel Sutherland, those barbarians came down in great force to ('ape Coast Castle, and encamued nearly two miles from it. The Colonel proceeded to meet them with the natives and inhabitants, mid both privies hid thetr.selrea and fired; the British were in mom and did not fire, nor had occasion to tire the whole time. When the parties were toed of this they left of. Colonel wuther. land and the troops returned to the Castle. Next morning, when they thought to begin again, the Ashantees were gone, none could ta:l where, and lots of dead negroes were lying up and down. some e disease end seine shot. Finally, the Ashantees went back to urge homes. Such is the story of my informant." TIII.VIDAD. ]From the Trie4ind Gt.i•dinn of March 10.] THE PANIC. ft bag frequently been observed, that John Bull gets a slight fit at insanity once in a gilt= period, the truth of which has been ex emplified by our thinking countrymen In England for sonar years past ; but we little expected that the influence of this dreadful die. ease would extend to this distant part of the world—certain it iv, however, that the Panic, either from contagion by the late arrivals ?neon London and Glasgow, the fashion of the thing, or from hid den locd causes, has at length reached this colony. On Friday twosome of our commercial friends having been unaccountably struck by this malady, were determined to make a run, but at what was at first a puzzling question, as banking establishments are here quite unnecessary, but at length decided it should be upon a fish and provision warehouse. The reason of this selection is in esplicable, snd will felligill one of the arcano nature. Among other causes assigned for this phenomenon. that which carries with 0 the greatest air of probability is, the accidental apparition of the menial ycicped " Alguazil" of a certain official character before the dntir of the devoted attire, early in the morning, decked out in a flaming red plush waistcoat—no doubt assumed as an emblem of sethority. This soon excited the observation of a gossiping neigh. bourhood, and each, in an under-tone, communicated the discre ditable tale of the man in scarlet, till it waxed great, spread far and mde. and operated to ruin the credit of the unluct y owner of the milt -fish and provision establishment. Be Ibises it may, anti we itheit only as an on die, creditor after creditor rushed in, demand ing immediate payment. At first the merchant fancied it must he • boar practised upon him, but he soon found it was no joke. In Min he declared he was not only solvent, but bad a hand, roe sur. phis, enfficient to retire upon; in vein ha exposed his books, and offered every muffin to sustain his credit and avert the shock. Nothing but the pound of flesh would do ; the creditors in conater. !IDIOM declaring they would not quit the premises unpaid—the pe at was at its height. In this posture of his affair% the astonished merchant had sufficient presence of mind to hake the advice of a friend. and shortly afterwards &matinee-0d to the an: inue crowd, that as it was impossible for him to and money to satisfy all the de mands thus unexpectedly made upon him, and as his friends am peered determined to be raid in some way or another, he could only oiler them at the moment such articles as he had, at the selling prices. to an instant every cart in town was engaged : salt fish. which was already giving warning of going to vendue, was taken twat rutty shillings, which would hare been gladly sold the day before at thirty shillings i beef, pork, and butter (not like 3ladeira, Improved by age).aas rolled away by the original vendor, at a si. miler advance ; wine, that cost eighteen dollars. was seized with evielty at twenty-eight ; and every other article in proportion. Tallow candle% vermicelli, 'nap. macaroni, and other light pack. agya, were hurried away without the ceremony of weighing; the took store, even to a few rotten btitude, was compleely gutted, add a list of debts, long numbered with the bad and doubtful, iplardily assigned over in exchange for substantial receipts In full. In chi. unprecedented and i ovel way was a commercial concern wound op, to effect which the owner of it had long been most analwas, and the work of the day concluded by leaving him about four thousand pounds in pricket by his forced sales. Unlike simi- Jor shocks in other commercial places, it appeare that all parties set perfectly satisfied. and we are bar.py to learn that the panic lea esidiely subsided, and commercial credit completely rotor: d.

SERGEANTS' INN, MAY 13. IMPORTANT LEGAL QUESTION. wisaricisY v. toILLAIIIa. In this ease a proceeding was had before Mr. Justice PARK. in which the plaintiff was required to show cause why the detendant 'Mould not be allowed to defend in iiirma propel is. It was an action brought by Whiteley, the editor of the Lune, against Ann Millard., a widow, to recover damages for a libel published by her respecting him. Several actions have been brought for this libel against a number of booksellers; and the cirrionstances from which it arose, it appears, were as follow : The late husband of the defendant was formerly superintendent of the Theatre of Anatomy of St. Thomas's Hospital, in the Bo rough. One of the duties of the situation was to receive the sub jects brought by the "resurrection men," art,. in behalf of the Stu dents, and of the Medical Professors of the Hospital, then Alr. Green avd Sir Astley Cooper, to negotiate with them for the pur chase. In IWO a rival School of Anatomy raised its head in the I Borough, for Summer Lectures, by a Mr. Grainger, which was so very successful, that it excited much jealousy and apprehension in some of the other schools, with respect to the abatement of the number of pupils. Millard was discharged in 11122 from his situa tion at St. Thomas's Hospital, without having heard of any complaint against him. He soon afterwards engaged with Ale. Grainger as superintendent of the School of Anatomy, at the head of which that gentleman was. It was alleged, in the libel, that the services of Millard were received with jealousy ; and that upon a sham appointment to superintend the removal of a subject from the London Hospital, he was entrap. ped as a resurrection man, taken before a Magistrate, prosecuted with rigour, and committed to Coldbath Fields prison under the Vagrant Act. The consequence of this imprisonment upon his mind was, that it increased his previous ill health, and at length brought him to his grave. Ile left a wife and six children utiprovided fur ; his widow, whether justly or unjustly, declared the imprisonment of her husband to be the result of a combination, and pursued all whom she those to conceive were parties to tt. She carried some of her documents to Mr. Whateley, the Editor of the Lancet, and he promised, in one of the numbers of that very popular work, to publish them. He, however, did not pertbrm that promise, more important matter probably interfering, and she pub. dished a narrative, in which was contained the libel in question. In it a number of the most respectable practitioners were ac. cue, dof having persecuted her husband " unto death." I ithers were assailed with charges of peculating and misapplying pub. lie funds, and statements were made respecting the mode of procuring subjects for Anatomical Theatres, which, if true, it would have been better to have withheld. Amongst others, the plaintiff was charged as having joined her husband's per secutors—and she republished the report of a trial, in which he brought an action against the Hope Insurance Company, to recover the value of some property destroyed by the burning of his house in Argyll-street, in August, 1820. This republication, ' with wattle remarks, containing serous accusations, form the chief ground of action. Art affidavit was now put in from the defendant, in which she deposed that she was put worth 31. after the payment of bee debts, and prayed to be allowed to defend the suit in JOT lot a paMper if. ,ilr. Lot Y appeared in behalf of the plaintiff, and opposed the prayer of the petition. He cited the opinion of 3lr. Baron Bullock, who, in his Work on the haw of Costs, page 2:19, edition 111111, says, that a defendant in a civil action is never allowed to defend it ass pauper. hlr. BLACRFORD, in behalf of thedefendant, said, he should be able to prove that she was entitled to be defended infi/rnui pimperis. It would be most singular in principle if a subject were allowed to do a voluntary act, or to sue in Pomo pauperit, whilst lie might by dragged before the Court, and not allowed any defence, it' he hail nut the means of defraying tire fees of Court. Rut in the case of Rex v. Wright, 21 Stra. 1041, it was said, " It is a singular favour to admit a defendant a pauper, but if such defendant will plead a dilatory plea, the Court will dispauper him." In Viner's Abridgment it was said, "'A defendant cannot be admitted a forma pimpi rig without lirst moving the Court, by a late rule." The 2d of Geo. 11. cap. 211, enacts, " that persons arrested on atropin*, or in. formation, relating to the Customs, may be admitted to defend in forma po"ptris."lhe principle was then recognised by Statute, though that of the lith Henry VII. cap. 12, enabled persons to sue as paupers but did not not name defendants. Mr. Justice PARK—I cannot take Vince* Abridgment. I must be governed by the latest authority, that of Mr. Baron [hillock. who is alive and well now, and will, I hope, long continue so. I see here lie says a defendant in a civil &aim- cannot be admitted to defend is forma posperir, because no person can be admitted to sue or defend as a pauper, but under some Act of Parliament, and the Statutes of the 11th and 2351 of Henry the Eighth contain no provision' on behalf of the defendant, but merely enable the plain. tiff to sue in that form ; and if the Coutts had a discretionary power, without the authority of a Statute, to admit persons in civil suits to proceed in forma pouperis, they,would, in diet, possess a power of dispensing, in marry instances, with the operations of Statutes relative to costs. This is quite clear. Mr. BLACIIFORD urged the extraordinary anomaly in principle which this opinion went to establish against the older authorities. Mr. Justice PARK said he did not entertain a doubt upon the subject. Mr. BLACTIFORD declared that he appeared from motives of humanity towards the unfortunate widow and her children, who were now receiving parochial relief. She had been served with notice of a declaration, consisting of between aoo and 300 folios, and for which between 41. and 51. were charged, at the same time that she had not so many shillings to pay for them. Mr. Justice PARE said the case was undoubtedly a hard one, but the law allowed him no discretion in the matter. The parties thus left the presence of the Learned Judge. As they were going away, a clerk exclaimed to Mr. Blachford, " stay, you must pay 25." Mr. ilLactrroaD—Two shillings! for what? Clerk—For filing the affidavit. Mr. BLACHFORD—I don't want it filed. Clerk—But it must be filed. Mr. BLACHFORD—What ! if I don't want It filed ? Clerk— Yes. Air. nLACHFORD—And must I pay 2s. though I don't want it ? Clerk—Yes. It is the Judge's order that every affidavit sworn before him should be tiled. Mr. kilachford men, with manifest reluctance, paid the two *billings. OLD BAILEY SESSIOXS, MAY 15. NEW COURT. TIIE EQITITA RIX TEA Ali ENCY COMPANY. Win. Gitaudry, aged 111, habited as a Quaker, and described as a merchant, was indicted tot obtaining by false pretences from John Bell a hark note value 201. with intent to defraud him of the same. 31r. Aiv nnEws stated the case for the prosecution. The offence with which the prisoner stood charged was a transportable one, by a • statute made in . the reign of (leo. 11., but in cases of con. vietion the Judges had a discretionary power to commute It to a short term of imprisonment. The prisoner had represented him self as connected with an establishment which was termed " The Equitable Tea Agency Company," and in that capacity had received money from the prosecutor by means of pretences which would be proved to be false. The prosecutor and ilk brother, whose name would be mentioned in the course of the inquiry, were tea-dealers at Huddersfield, in Yorkshire, and they, in the autumn of last year, saw a prospectus of this notable company, with Directors' names, &c. all set out in due form, and, what was a score im portant lure, there was a strong probability held out that adven turers in the " scheme" would realize 25 per cent. upon their ad. vane's. The prosecutor was induced to write to the prisoner, and the letter. would be put in and read the object he had in view was to gain further iiiimmostion relative to the Company, and in corsequeuce of the written counnutications of the prisoner, he and his brother were induced to advance money, out of which tran saction sprung the present indictment He (Mr. Andrews) should be able to prove that no such Company ever existed, that no meet ings were ever held, and that the very gentlemen whose names appeased on the flaming prospectus as Directors were, in fart, en. tircly ignorant of the existence of such an establishment. When the Jury had heard the testimony he was about to adduce, it would be for them to say, regardless of consequences to the prosecutor, whether the defendant was guilty or not. Ale. John Bell stated, that in August last his attention was at tracted by a prospectus of " The EquitableTeaAgency Company," which induced him to write to the prisoner, both on 'his own ac. count and that of Mr. Nicholas Bell, his brother. On the let of September he wrote to the prisoner to asrertain whether he could get ten or fifteen shares, and also for further information as to the plan upon which the Company intended to act. Witness re ceived a very flattering account on the 7th of September from the prisoner, and the letter was dated from No. 111, Fenchurch street, sth 9 month, 1025, and signed by the prisoner. The letter stated that the shares were nearly all disposed of; but as • few were reserved for particular inquirer., he could be accom modated with the number he wanted, and several others, if any of his friends wished to become shareholders. The speculation was • gond one, as the company would reap those advantages which had procured a few tea•dealen; princely fortunes. Witness then de. 'mooched • letter for ten shares on his own account, and ten fur his brother, enclosing at the game time the nose which was the subject of this indictment ; Mid in due course the shares were transmitted. The cumbers were front 8031 to 8040 inclusive, and front 0001 to 11110 inclusive. The pieces of paper now produced are the sante. ITh...correspondence between the prisoner and the prosecutor, which has already been published, was now read, and the letters of the former etched considerable Isugliter.l Cross-examined by Mr. BRODRICK.—WitnePA never received any advantage from the shares, nor was he likely to receive any. ( Laughter.) ‘Vitt,ma was actuated by the prospect of getting 25 per cent. fur his money. lie considered that the deposit was en tirely lust. %Ir. Nicholas Bell gave similar tevienone to that of his brother. Ale. Haines Morgan ststetl, that, in October lest, the prisoner took hint Into his employ, to attend the counting-house, but he left in about • fertnight, because trade appeared to be slack. (Laughter ) On the 6th of December he went again, and remained there until the prisoner was taken before the Lord Usyor—never saw many gentlenirn, or any tea, at the company's depot. A Mi. Marshall was there sometimes, and other gentlemen, but witness always withdrew on those occasions. He had frequently seen the THE BRITISH PRESS. printed prospectuses lying about the room. Mr. (foundry was a lodger. and only occupied two rooms on the first floor. John Greatosex Marshall examined.—The witness stated that he is a commissioned traveller ; has known the prisomr a considerable time ; Is aware that his name is enrolled among the Directors, but though it appears so conspicuous, he does not believe that such a company ever existed ; never gave his sanction to such a measure ; knew of the project long before (laundry sat apprehended. By Mr. Brioneurcw.—Has felt a great objection to his name being made thus conspicuous, but never remonstrated, because lie took no notice of it,—(A laugh.)—Did not believe there was aoy thing in the concern ; never tack an active part in the manage.. menu ; never received any of the profits, or bad a share in the Tlventtire. lie certainly used to call at the counting-house to see the newspaper, perhaps four times a week, but on these occasions he never wrote letters to go to the country ; might have directed some on one occasion ; if he had been so employed more than (tee, had not six times. Does not know whether the prisoner is a Quaker, but haltelieves he is, Knows Mr. Cocking,..who he thinks is of the same persuasion, but has no knowledge of persons named Hodgson aid Harper in connexion with this concern. Mr. Joseph Pilling, a hop-factor and seedsman in the Berough, deposed that he never authorized his name to be put down as a Director the first time he discovered it was by reading The Times paper at York, and die circumstance created great surprise. fly Mr. BRoDEßtcx.—Never had any shares or scrip connected with the speculation. The witness believed that no such Company was ever organized. Mr. George John Morgan proved that he printed the shares produced, but never above lOW. His recount had not been settled. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. BRoDERICK took an objection to what he considered an informality in the indictment. The prisoner WAS charged with fraudulently obtaining, &c. 201. the propert of John Bell, whereas it appeared by the evidence that only 10 1. was the property of that gentleman, his brother, Nicholas Bell, having contributed the other moiety, and consequently received a corresponding num. her of shares. The COMMON SERJEANT said, that this was a point of law, and he should like to have it argued at once, for he was free to confess that it appeared to him that there was souse ground for the objection, inasmuc'u as the evidence adduced was at variance with the allegation upon the record. Mr. BRODERICK and Mr. ANDREWS then argued the point pro and eon, after which, The Learned Cc:l3lll'ost SERJEANT observed, that out of the numerous counts in the indictment, laid as various WI they were, there was rot one upon which theprisonet could be convicted, if the evidence was put in contradistinction with the indictment. The Jury, therefore, under the direction of the Learned Judge, acquitted the prisoner. SENTENCES.

Yesterday, William Collier, a decrepid old man, seemingly on the verge of 70 years, was put to tho bar on a charge of stabbing Samuel Westerford, an old friend, with intent to murder or do him some grievous bodily harm. William Turner, a weaver, living in Old Cock.court, Bethnal, green, deposed, that he knew the prisoner, who, as well as himself, was a weaver, and he was also acquainted with Westerford, who was a dyer, living at 105, Hare -street, Bethnal-green. On Satur day es ening, about seven o'clock, as he was leaving yolk he saw Wcsterford leave his dye-house, and go into his dwelling-house. About eleven the same night he was passing Westerford's house, when he saw the latter anti the prisoner standing together at the door; the prisoner going into the passage, said to Westerford," here —I want to speak with you." Westerford followed him into the passage, and in a very short time came running out again, and ex claimed," Oh ! lam stabbed." Immediately following him came the prisoner, who said as he issued from the door, " I have done for him." The witness attempted to secure the prisoner, but great confusion arose and he escaped. John Barton, a carpenter, living at No. 9, Hare -street, exactly opposite to Westerford's house, stated, that soon after eleven he heard some high words at Westerford's door, and saw the latter and his wife, the prisoner and his wife, and two young girls who lodged in the house, standing together quarrelling. The witness went up to Weaterford and said, " You had better come over to my house." lie replied that he would come and take part of a pot of beer, to get out of the piece of work. The witness and %Wester ford were crowing over the road when the latter (as witness under. stood, for he did not hear the call) was called to by some one, and turning on his heel, went into the passage of his own house, whence in less than a minute he returned, saying he had been stabbed, at the same time opening his waistcoat and chewing his shirt steeped in blood. An alarm was immediately given, and a crowd assem. bled about the house. Two watchmen came, who went up stairs in search of the author of the outrage, and while they were gone the witness saw in the passage, which was nearly dark, a person in the act of opening a door leading to some cellars, and thence to a garden at the back of the house. He seized him by the shoulder, at the moment that he was descending the stair, and endeavoured to hold him, but the person, whom witness then discovered to be the prisoner, pulled so hard that he was obliged to let him go, to avoid being dragged to the bottom. When he first seized the psi. inner the latter said, "he is up stairs." A candle was procured, and a search took place in the cellars and in the garden, but the prisoner was not to be found. Brown, a patrol of this Office, stated, that on Saturday night he'' , was on duty in Hare -street, when he heard that a man had been stabbed at 105, in that street. Ile went there, and found Wester. ford in bed, in a back parlour. A waistcoat was produced to wit. ness by Westerford's wile, which had a hole in the lower part of the left side, as if some sharp instrument had passed through it. Westerford told the witness that the wound was inflicted by a man named Collier, who lodged in the first floor. While the witness 'was present, Mr. Camplin, a surgeon, in Finsbury-square, came, and dressed the wound, and witness saw that Westerford had been stabbed immediately under the lower rib on the left side. The witness produced • certificate from Mr. Camplin, stating that a wound had been inflicted twin Westerford with a sharp instru ment ; that it had taken an oblique direction, pmsetrating about an inch and a half into the body, anti that the wound was healing, and the patient likely to do well. It was added that the instrument had met with resistance from the ensifonn cartilage, and that, there. fore, it was probable that none of the viscera were pencrated. Merry, another patrol, stated that he was on duty at this office in his regular turn, on Sunday afternoon, about four o'clock, when the prisoner presented himself at the door and said, " I give my self up to justice-1 have murdered a man." The witness asked him whom he had murdered, and he said, " one West (Wester. ford was usually called so by those who knew him) of Hare-street, Bethnal-green." The prisoner seemed intoxicated, and witness, for sonic time hesitated a hether he should detain him, and con. stilted Mr. Stufford, the chief clerk, upon the subject. That gen tleman ordered him to lock up the prisoner, and make inquiry into the circumstances of the Case. Before he did so, the prisoner said these words :—" I have been qnarrelling with this man for eleven months, and I was determined to do it. I give myself up to jus. tice." The witness went to AVesterford's house, where he found him lying in bed, and received a shirt from his sister-in-law which was steeperlin blood. This wan the shirt which Westerford had on when he was stabbed. .The latter said there had been • quarrel of some standing between him and the prisoner. In bin defence the prisoner said he was standing in the passage eating sonic bread and meat, with a knife in his hand, when Wes. tcrford came up to him, and Paving first spokes sharply, and then struck him, he (prisoner) made a blow at him with the hand iu which he held the knife. lie denied that he said he was " deter. mined to do it ;" and said the Officer had spoken falsely. He also said that when he delivered himself up he was tipsy, having taken two or three drama, supposing that he would not be allowed any thing to drink when once la custody. The prisoner was remanded for a week. Yesterday morning, about three o'clock, the house of Mr. Morgan. the Globe, in the Borough-road, was entered by the parlour window, the shutters to which had not been secured ; the villains then forced the bar fastenings, and drew off about thirty gallons of spirits, broke open a desk sod took from it 30a. iksilver ; they also emptied a cannister containing about two pounds of tea, and took away a leg of m u tt o n, w i t h a new wt., leaving behind them a candle burning, an d t h ree p arce l s o f shoe-makers' thread. It is supposed they remained,upwards of two hours on the premises, regaling themselves with a bottle of cheEry brandy. It was a most fortunate circumstance they did not effect their entry on the pre vious night, when they would have fouod 1001 in notes in the pocket or the coat. The bouse-dos had been missing two days previous. SUIPPING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAT, MAY 14.

This grew Meeting commences to-morrow, and from the number and amount of the Stakes, the celebrity of the horses, and the vast Importance which attaches to their performances at this period, more than usually Interesting sport is confidently anticipated. Most of the great Doncaster St. Leger horses are entered, and expected to run, so that a most material alteration In the state of the odds on that Stakes may be looked for. The attendance of the great northern patrons of the turf, will, It Is thought, be ego numerous, but from conflicting circumstances will be less so than would otherwise be the cue. It happens unfortunately in this respect that Manchester Racer commence on Tuesday, which coupled with the recent untoward events In that part of the kingdom, will have the effect of keeping away many noblemen and gentlemen who have al most Invariably visited York Races. Notwithstanding, we are enabled to state many noble families, from different parts of the country, are already arrived, and that of general visitors there will be little diminution. Knavesmere was crowded this morning by anxious spectators, eager to view the condition of the St. Leger and other horses. Hedlamite was out and looked In good running order, his mode of galloping drew the aUen lion of all; " ;mid " Cleveland was also out, and seems in fine condition, AY did moat of the others who showed. The following horses are already arrived :—Bedlatnite, Belzoni, Bro ther to Barefoot, Garcia, King Calton, Brother to Cymbeline, Mulatto, Catterick, Ruthelan, Fleur de-Lis, Actreon, Lottery, Floilemont, Fair Charlotte, Alt Isidore filly, Sister to Diadem, Sister to Elizabeth, Mulatto, Neva colt, 2 yr old colt out of Clinkedna, f. out of Montana, 2 yrs, Lu nacy, Conjuror, M'Adam, Barataria, The Alderman, Dauntless, Brown lock, Daredevil, Octavio., The Constable, Claudine, Cleveland, Abroa, Helenue, Miss Patrick, Galena, Mary Anne, Theodosia, Zino, Der Feels chute, Jerry, Barytas, Hartsbury,.Troubadour, Tlckhill, Brother to Fair Charlotte, Humphrey Clinker, Caccia Plaid, and about ten or a dozen others. Memnon, Longwaist, and some other good ones, are now at Manchester. The lodgings have been taken freely, and the beds a► the Black Swan. the George, and other principal inns, are engaged for many of the nobi lity, who are to arrive either this day or to-morrow morning. The town already assumes a gay appearance, and the course, during the whole of the day, haa been as numerously attended as if the races had actually commenced. The booths have been, and are now, occupied by parties of pleasure. This, and the attractive appearance of more than seventy of the hest homes In the kingdom, raking their gallops, has made naves mere a most animated and brilliant scene. Amongst many other distinguished and sporting characters, we noticed, his Grace the Unke of Leeds, the Marquis of Queensberry, the Marquis of Titchdeld, Lord Kt4burne, Lord Kennedy, Lord George fientinck, Colo nel Russell, Major Wright, Mr. Farquhanon, Mr. Baird, Mr. Mills, Mr. Rolyoakc, and many others. The specious rooms at the York Tavern, which were opened for the lint time last August Alerting as Betting Rooms, are reopened dill Meeting, under the guidance of one of the Directors of the Doncaster Betting Room, and up to the time our account left York, the Subscription Book exhibited is good show of highly respectable nap!!.. nErriNG. Little has es yet been done except on the Derby and Oaks, and two or three matches. The St. Leger betting will be stationary till some other influential .takes are decided.
