SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM AUTUMN MEETING. Whatever opinion may be entertained of the policy of fixing this meeting in the week between Doncaster and Newmarket, or perhaps of having an autumn meeting at all, no one will withhold from Mr. Dorling the merit of having done all that was possible to render it attractive -5004 given to one day's racing speaks volumes of his in tentions, and whatever the results may have been in a pecuniary point of view, it will be admitted that on this, as on all previous occasions, he has catered for the amusement of the public well and successfully. The Brighton Railway Directors went hand in hand with him, and we have to record to their credit, that instead of raising the fares, as at the summer racesl(a most objec tionable practice), they reduced them to so low a mark as to make it a question if the traffic was sufficient to cover the sum contributed to the fund and the working expenses. That, however, is a question for the share holders—all that we have to do with the matter is to mention the fact as a proof of a determination that nothing should be wanting on their part to ensure success, and to add that the unusual facility thus afforded, coupled with fine and seasonable weather, induced hun dreds to have " a day on the Downs," who, had the screw been applied, would have remained at home. In giving the directors credit for their conduct in this re spect, we feel bound to say that their arrangements were far from being satisfactory—in proof whereof we need only mention that three trains were at the Carshal ton station at the same time; fortunately no accident occurred, but so much time was lost by this mismanage ment, that great numbers did not reach the Downs until after the first race was run! The assemblage on the course was much larger than we had anticipated—it embraced a good proportion of the frequenters of " th e C orner, " and a few fashionables. On the whole, ho wever , we fear that the experiment, if it enabled the metropolitans a locap e it i a n l g d o a n y e 's to sp i o u rt p , l c o o m ul o d .e n r ot s, have been other _ w to is e e n enjoy a than ies of its in 1849, CONTRACTS for PIG LEAD and WHITE and RED LEAD.

Samuel Eustace Magan, Esq. • SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. ledge of what is sarcastically called " the element" may be said to terminate. As for the " water" of che mistry and the poets, the London of the nineteenth century knows it not, except as a tantaliz ing hearsay. Our nearest approach to the enjoy ment of this universal gift of nature is but a make-shift imitation, for which we have to pay very smart half-yearly rates. The metropolis of the wealthiest and most powerful empire of the world is, with respect to this first necessary of lire, very much in the condition of a beleaguered city or an ill-found ship. And, as matters stand, the evil is a growing one. Under present circumstances, cur civilization is every year taking us further off from the realization of that first condition of personal, domestic, and public cleanliness and health—an ample and con stant supply of pure water. We lay especial stress on this consideration, for it is the great governing fact that ot:ght never to be lost sight of in the discussion of the question of metropolitan water supply. Things are every day getting worse instead of better. With the sewerage problem still un so l ve d, every h ouse t h at is added to this stupendo us w ild erness o f streets, squares, courts, and alleys—every new family that swells our population of 2,200,000 souls—nay, every " improvement," as we call it, that is made in the art and science of house drainage—only increases the pollution of that vast central reservoir into which runs all the accumulated filth of London and its suburbs, and out of which six of the eight so. called " Water" Companies that supply London pump up the mixture which eventually finds its way to our cisterns and our tables. With our exiting resources and a ppliances, not only is improve ment an impossibility, but deterioration is &necessity. If we except the Hampstead and (partially) the New River Company, all the water-works by which the metropolis is provided with this prime necessity of life derive their supplies from the Thames within range of sewerage—that is, between Brentford on the one hand and Woolwich on the other. Thus the case, as it stands, is, from the nature of it, desperate. The two million and more inhabitants of this metropolis need never hope to know the taste of pure water—not though they doubled their present enormous con tribution to the companies of 350,0001. per an nnm—nay, they must expect the quality of the ex isting substitute to become progressively worse than it is at present—until science, art, and legisla tion shall have devised and executed some totally and generically new mode of procuring this necessary of life. All the evils, sanitary, social, and moral, public and private, which proceed from the universal use of adulterated water, will inevitably grow, as London itself grows, until we learn how to fetch our supplies from beyond the reach of metropolitan sewerage. This question of the quality of London water ap pears to us of such transcendant importance, in a sanitary point of view, as determining, at all events, the direction in which we are not to look for any im provement in this vital branch of our social and munici pal, economy, and, of course, as incidentally clearing the way towards a positive solution of the problem, that we have thought it better to concentrate attention on it, in the first instance. We shall take another opportunity of dwelling on the equally material, though perhaps less embarrassing, considerations con nected with the question of quantity—and likewise on the subordinate, but by no means unimportant, subject of price ; and when the outlines of the whole matter are thus brought under the reader's notice, it will be time enough to speak of the various plans, now more or less distinctly before the public, by which it is proposed to remedy, once for all, the melancholy and shameful deficiency under which our metropolis has long laboured. In the meanwhile, it is with the utmost satisfaction that we observe the signs of a powerful public sentiment forming itself on this all-important question. Without wishing to express or imply an opinion prematurely on the merits of any project that is either supported or opposed by those who are now agitating the matter, we are at least glad to perceive that popular feeling is fairly stirred on the subject, and that a general agreement exists as to the essential desiderata— namely, entire independence of the sewerage region of the Thames, constancy and universality of supply at a minimum cost, and unity and responsibility of management. Notwithstanding our discouraging experience of the qualifications of our present rulers for dealing with a great sanitary and municipal question, we cannot forego the hope, that by the time Parliament next meets this matter (with some kindred ones) will have become ripe for legislative settlement, and that our boasted nineteenth century civilisation will at length be found competent to the task of curing its own evils and abating its own nuisances. EPSOM AUTUMN MEETING. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Having fled from the City to Brighton to escape the risk of cholera, and finding that even there pre cautions are needful, we consequently on the morn ing of this eventful day made a tolerable breakfast of cold roast beef, ham, and partridge, and took (we confess it with shame for the prevailing degeneracy of the present day) tea, the succedaneum of the blood of barley, characteristic of the golden age of Homer, when man and beast were fed with the same cereal. Remembering the last words that fell from the lips of Socrates, " Crito, we owe a cock to Esculapius ; pay it, therefore, and do not neglect it ;" and, conse quently, paying due respect to the divinity, who appears to know so little about cholera, we did not neglect to close the orifice of the stomach with a drop of eau-de-vie de Cognac, to intimate that another was coming, and to complete the libation to the " God uz,knowii " who cures men of this frightful malady. Aristou men udoor biou, as Pindar says, in Bloom field's last edition, " Brandy is best." Leaving by the nine o'clock train, we were greeted by a splendid day. No railway in the vicinity of London presents more rural charms than the Brighton. The birds, objects of the sportsman's eager pursuit at this season, bad been driven away from the broad acres and square miles of land covered with crops into the turnip-fields, the copses, and the heaths. The sportsman's dog stands fixed, as if struck by catalepsy, immobile as the living model from which a Praxiteles or a Baily learns to impart the Promethean life of beauty to the cold marble. A huge slip of earthwork in a cutting next attracts our notice. The cost of this may be worth inquiry, and a ready rule to approximate to it is the following :—Multiply the average height by the length and breadth in yards; the number of cubic yards so arrived at is the cost in shillings very n is e a t r h l i y rtyof yards, repairing u the length gt ha ninety,s i p.

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowin• two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, twe thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.

The South Downs have their escarpment facing the north ; these, on the contrary, present their precipitous decilivities towards the south. Passing swiftly the charming villas nestling amidst a profusion of trees, shrubs, and flowers, we began slowly to ascend the bill leading to Gatton, memorable in the days of rotten boroughs. To aid vehicles in the ascent, a stone tram-way has been laid down for a quar t er o f a m il e, s i m i lar to the one in the Commercial-road, constructed by Mr, Walker, for the conveyance of East India goods from the docks to the City. All the way up this ascent the most striking beauties of natural scenery meet the eye in every direction ; on the right Leith Hill, with its commanding column, is raised up far into the sky. The South Downs are visible in the remote distance ; numerous and beautiful hills are thrown up in the foreground, the tops of which are enlivened by the busy mill hurling defiance at the Quixotic spirit of the present age. The new station of the South-Eastern Company in the centre, their old one to the left, are animated by those half-living and semi• intelligent engines to which we are indebted for a power of loco motion now become a necessary of life. A small modern structure, in imitation of the Gothic style, points out the spot, well deserving a visit, where, in a deep cave, the Barons of England met in consulta tion prior to their enforcement of the great charter from John at Runnymede. To the right the hills of Kent bound our view. Below is a huge and precipitous hollow, which, on the South Downs, would be called a coombe. Every where the eye takes in long tracks of wood, the re mains of that enormous series of forests which once extended over a large portion of Sussex and Kent, and enabled the latter county to manufacture iron, for which, as well as cloth, it was once celebrated. At the most elevated point of the ridge we were crossing a light bridge, on the suspension principle, spans the road above our head leading from one part of the grounds of the Countess of Warwick to another. is dsf l r b" 11 ; 00' v- John Rain, Esq., of Morriston7Glasgow.

Immediately after starting Keraun took a clear lead, followed by the St. Winifred colt and Kissaway, next to whom were Maid of Masham and Snowstorm ; they ran thus at a bad pace to the mile post, where the Maid of Masham took the second place, and the spred improved, still without being by any means first-rate. Keraun maintained his lead until half way up the distance, whore he gave way to the Maid of Masham, Kissaway, and Mounseer. A. very exciting struggle between the three terminated in favour of Kissaway by a head, the same between the second and third, Paquita a good fourth.

The barony and estate of Islan comprising the Island of Islay i !irn l small adjacent islands is in the same latitude as Edinburgh and ti "gow, and is one of the richest and most produetive properties in ~a west of Scotland. It contains about 140,000 acres, of which " ,00 0 are arable, the rest being luxuriant pasture. The present rental of this magnificent property amounts at present L e 20 ,0001.; but a Government grant of 30,0001. is now being ex mted in drainage ant Improvements. The rents are periodically and legitimately increased as the leases fall in, and it is evident that s uch a property must, under improved agriculture , affo rd a much artier return. The purchase, it is expected, will be effected for about 500,0001., and it is proposed to raise a capital for this purpose, and contingent expenses, of 600,0001., in 12,000 501: shares, each s hareholder to nominate a life, and the whole bod y of nominees to be insured oat of the recital, so as to secure the repayment of his su bscription to every shareholder whose nominee lapses. The remainder of the accumulated rental is to be divided a very ten years amongst the surviving shareholders, the last survivor to inherit the estate. On the basis of 12,000 policies, in respect of the 12,000 nominees, it is further contemplated to ingraft the general busintss of a life assurance company, co as to secure an annual dividend of Profits. Thus it will be seen that every person taking a sha r e in the Ton ti will, under any circumstances, receive back the amount of his Investment out of the assurance fund, ,and will also, by way of In rest on his shares, receive an annual dividend out of the profi ts o f the general life assurance department (and the basis and guarantse indicated cannot fail to make this branch most extensive and ucra tive) ; he will, moreover, participate, every ten years h's nominee fiervives, in the accumulated and constantly Improving rental ; and, i a n the ev nt of his nominee being the last survivor, will become abso'ute owner, in fee shople, of the entire estate. It is also to be ob serve d t h at, as th e no minees diminish in number , the marketable value of the shares will year after year be greatly en hanced. The principles of the proposed Tontine have been maturel y con sided by G. P. Nelson, Esq the eminent actuary of the Me dical and Invalid Assurance ' , Company, and recelv,d his entire ap probation. _ _ _ DISTVSGUISFIING FEATURES.

The lanes we passed through in Surrey could scarcely be exceeded in beauty even by the inimitable ones of Sussex.

"Barely enough for what ?" exclaimed his friend, " You're out of reckoning there, I must contend. A suit will never cost you that. Wherever do you purchase at?

ESCAPE OF TWO CONVICTS.—WOOLWICH, SEPT• 18.—• Joseph Slater, aged 24, sentenced to ten years' transportation for larceny and previous conviction at the Stratford assizes, and Henry Palmer, cabinetmaker and French polisher by trade, sentenced to ten years' trans portation for larceny, escaped from Woolwich dockyard this morning, between eight and nino o'clock, by remov ing one of the bars of a window of a rigging house, near the ground, when the tide was out. A sentry of the Royal Marine Corps was stationed near the place; but, owing to a high paling recently put up, his position did not command a good view of the window from which they descended. It is supposed they have escaped in a canvass suit of clothes, as the greater part of their con vict dress was left behind. The convicts must have contemplated their escape for some time, as the window frame was found to be greased so as to open with greater ease, and an inside shutter having been generally up, they had better opportunities of making the preparations witkout being noticed. The windows of the lower range of the rigging-house ought to be built up with brick, as they are seldom used, and two sentries placed on that station, one to walk the lane, the boundary of the dockyard wall, and the other to stand at the south east corner. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The Emperor of Russia has withdrawn his troops from Hungary with a promptitude and sincerity which are more calculated to increase his weight and influence in the affairs of Europe than any concessions of territory wrung from an enfeebled ally, or any act of hostile defiance to the other states which surround the frontiers of his empire. We are not surprised at the haughty and self-applauding language of the proclamations in which the Russian Autocrat has thanked his armies and celebrated their triumph. Nor do we regret that the harshness of some of the expressions contained in these documents should be such as to make the Austrian Ministers feel how little such acts of friendship are to be coveted or accepted. The Emperor Nicholas took up arms against the Hungarian insurrection partly from a desire to extricate the house of Austria from the formidable difficulties which had been aggravated by the open and by the clandestine enmity of other powers. But the principal and decisive considera tion which led him to enter upon this campaign was the extreme danger N which the possible success of the Hungarian Republic, assisted by the most daring soldiers of the Polish emigration, obviously exposed the most unsettled portion of his own dominions. Many thousand Poles fought in the ranks of the Magyars. Dembinski and Bern exercised a degree of control over the military plans of M. Kossuth's Government which might subserve their own ulterior objects, but which was highly unpalatable to such men as Qeorgey, who probably entertains the wonted aversion of the Magyars to their Samaritan neigh bours. These foreign auxiliaries had contributed to make the breach between the Hungarians and the house of Austria irreparable, by encouraging the de position of the Emperor and his race, because their only hope was in total revolution.. No recognition of the national rights of Hungary could have satisfied them; but it was precisely the excesses to which they had contributed which brought down upon them the whole force of the North, and terminated the cam paign. Moreover, the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, extending its observation to the rest of Europe, was well aware that the triumph or defeat of the Hunga • rian insurrection was not a question confined to the frontiers of that kingdom. Its consequences em braced the whole of southern Germany. Already, in October last year, Hungary had kindled the confla gration in Vienna which rivalled the horrors of the Parisian days of June, when the Polish Bern and the Saxon Robert Blum conspired to overthrow the monarchical institutions of Germany in the heart of tier greatest capital. However patriotic the inten tions of some of the Magyars may have been, their cause was identified elsewhere with the explosion of those frantic doctrines and acts of violence which had so recently spread terror and destruction through so many of the fairest cities of Europe. At one moment the policy of M. Kossuth bad been daringly aggres sive; had he become undisputed master of Hungary, it would probably, or rather perforce, have become so again. The termination of the Hungarian war has interrupted a series of calamities to which it is not easy to assign bounds. But, whilst we express our satisfaction that the blind enthusiasm of some of our contemporaries has not been gratified at so enormous a price as a prolonged European convulsion, we have never concealed our regret that no other means of averting it could be employed with effect, and we con cur with some of our habitual antagonists in viewing with dissatisfaction the increase which has thereby accrued to the power and influence of Russia. That the fact is so is generally acknowledged, and no less generally deplored, because we have yet to learn that the armies and agents of Russia are to be regarded as the champions of improvement, and it fares but ill with freedom and civilisation if they are to be the defenders of Europe from the most grievous excesses. But to what cause are we to attribute this augmen tation of the European ascendancy of Russia, which those who are so ready to call revolutions liberty ob serve and deprecate as we do ourselves ? Evidently to the occurrence of those very convulsions which their puerile enthusiasm was so eager to applaud; and secondly, to the extraordinary position of British diplomacy on the continent, which some of them have the intrepidity or the ignorance to defend. What ever Russia has gained has been by the weakness of others, rather than by her own strength—by opportunities of influence which offered them selves to her more readily than if she had sought them—by calamities which threw others pros trate whilst she remained erect, and which left her mistress of her policy and resources, whilst all the other continental States were without force ' and without will. In other words, the revolution which paralyzed the other Governments of Europe left her the more free to pursue her own course, even against their aberrations, so that we may venture to affirm that no combination of circumstances could have been so favourable to the extension of the power of Russia as that sudden and irrational outbreak which swept away the habitual checks to her policy. The Emperor Nicholas made use of his position with great forbearance and moderation ; but, had his ambition been of a more active kind, he would have found that his most effectual auxiliaries abroad were precisely those Liberals who professed the keenest hostility to his policy, but who had destroyed the sy stem by which that policy was controlled. The conflict between a regular and absolute Government, conducting its affairs with skill and secrecy, and dis posing of great military resources, and a fluctuating, irregular, and irresponsible popular power, whose resources are dispersed, and whose diplomacy is in the street, can have but one termination. One country, indeed, besides Russia, remained entirely exempt fro:n these infirmities of revolution ; the measures of the British Foreign office were never taken with greater freedom from external pressure or popular debility; and if they have failed it has been not from necessity but from choice. Nevertheless, even when an effort has been made by this country to oppose or counteract a tendency which she disap proved, it has so happened that she has not only ' succumbed, but has actually contributed to promote the result least acceptable to British policy. We have seen it asserted that in the Danish mediation Lord Palmerston succeeded in defeatueg the intentions of the Russian Cabinet in the Baltic. A more erroneous statement was never made, for the settlement which was ultimately adopted was precisely that which Count Nesselrode had sanctioned, and every impor tant point in the negotiation and the war was deter mined, not by English suggestions, but by Russian declarations. It was well known that the Emperor Nicholas was resolved and prepared to act, though with reluctance, and that we were not. So also in the affair of Moldavia and Wallachia ; when England protested against the Russian occupation and was even said to have fomented the warlike spirit of the Porte, the Russian Cabinet simply took no notice of our remonstrances, and declared it should continue to hold the country. In Italy and Sicily, when it, was found that the weight of England was thrown on the side of the revolution, the credit and influence of Russia increased in a compound ratio with all the Governments we had estranged from ourselves; and, to crown these exploits of our foreign policy, our persecution of the interests of Austria contributed to send her as a suppliant to Warsaw until Russian armies appeared on the Lower Danube. If, therefore, the Emperor of Russia has reason to view his present political position with pride and satisfac tion, he may thank, in the first instance, those factions which have weakened and convulsed the continental States of Europe, but he owes at least an equal debt of gratitude to that English Minister who based his policy on the chances of these revolutionary adven turers, and at once threw aide the principles and the power which this country had so long adhered to and enjoyed in her foreign relations. CHRONICLE.—That well known Greek motto which is the first thing that strikes the eye of the visitor who seeks health or amusement at the Bath Pump-rooms, may have an undeniable local appro priateness—but, to the mind of a Londoner, it is as far as possible from conveying a truth of universal and unconditional application. To us of the metropolis there is something of cruel and cutting irony in the maxim that so obtrusively proclaims, though it be but in a dead language, the virtues of th e li m pid element. ‘Ve know " water," or what is so called, under several characters—but in none of them is our acquaintance with it of such a nature as to render it agreeable to us to hear its praises. We are familiar with it, first, for instance, as the nominal designa tion and supposed chief ingredient of that foul and fetid ditch which, under the name of " River Thames," flows backwards and forwards, twice in every twenty-four hours, between London and Westminster on the one side, and South wark and Lambeth on the other—charged with the accumulated refuse of the dwellings of more than two millions of human beings We further know it as a liquor that is to be ob!ained from certain parish pumps in the immediate vicinity of grave-yards, whence it comes saturated with the reeking pollution of countless corpses in every stage of decomposition. And we are likewise acquainted with it as an inordinately high priced article of domestic necessity, which w e p rocure i n insufficient quantities, at inconvenient intervals, and of variable and (mostly) equivocal quality—which we have to store up for use in a highly awkward and expensive fashion—and which, by dint of boiling, filtration, and other such devices, we 't:st contrive to render barely drinkable, /Jere our Inc trorolitonknew- AFFRAY BETWEEN POACHERS AND WATCHERS.— On Satarday morning at an early hour seven or eight poachers visited the preserves of the Earl of Sefton at Altear. The poachers had just commenced operations ei hen they we ro surprised by r. Warner, au l a number of watchers, when a serious fight ensued, which termi Elated in the capture of seven of the poachers. The n:en were brought to Ormskirk about nine o'clock the same morning; two of the gang were conveyed in a cart, tieing unable to walk from the injuries received, their heads beng much hurt. Mr. Warner, the gamekeeper, was severely cut about the head, and some of the wa•chers came in for a share. The prisoners were (x• arnined before T. Brandreth and James Culshaw, Esqi. and were remanded. The injured poachers are attended by Mr. Symons, tho union surgeon. It is supposed all the poachers are from Liverpool; several of them are old offenders.—Liverpool EMETIC TARTAR IN CHOLERA.—The French Patrie has the following:—" After numerous observations made on a large scale, a military surgeon at Landrecics has published the following fact. Emetic is a means as simple as it is prompt and infallible against the symp• toms of cholera. On the slightest derangement of the bowels, or inclination to vomit, although the vomiting may have begun with cholics, with or without diarrhea s, a sensation of coldness, cramps, the blue stage, headache, &c., an emetic taken on the appearance of one or the whet.- of these symptoms united, in the dose of from five to ten centigrammes, will make them entirely disappear in less than three hours, or in the course of the day at the latest. This fact is so clearly proved by evidence, that if every person inhabiting an in'eett d place were b carry about him a grain or two of tartar emetic, and take it as explained above, the cholera will never attain any gravity, and there would not take place one death in a thousand cases." CHOLERA IN THE QUEEN'S PRISON.—It was re ported yesterday, by parties who attended the Insolvent Debtors' Court from the Queen's Prison, that the cholera had broken out in that establishment, and attention is, therefore, directed to a section iu an Act of Parliament framed in the year 1843, which should be publicly known. By the 15th section it is enacted, " That whenever one of her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of Sete shalt deem it necessary the prisoners, or any of them, shall be removed on account of any contagious or infectious disease in the prison, or upon any other emergency, it shall be lawful for the Secretary of State, by a warrant under his hand, directed to the Marshal or Keeper of the Queen's Prison, to order that such prisoners shall be removed, in the custody of the said Marshal or Keeper, to such other place of imprisonment as the Secretary of State shall direct, such place being first reported by the Marshal or Keeper of the Queen's Prison to the Secre tary of State as a safe place of custody, and fit for the reception of such prisoners, and when such disease shall have ceased, or the purposes for which the priso ners shall have been removed shall have been fulfilled, it shall be lawful for the Secretary of State, by a like war rant, to order that such prisoners be removed back to the Queen's Prison, and any place to which any prisoners shall be removed under such warrant shall be deemed during their imprisonment therein to be a part of the Queen's Prison, and no such removal of any prison2r shall be construed to be an escape." MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT.—During the whole of last week there was much anxiety felt on account of the absence of the usual American news, by which, in some measure, business was disarranged. The tidings brought by the last steamer have not, as yet, had much effect on this market. Though Liverpool market is expected to be higher, most of the cotton goods that were sold in the Manchester market ye sterday went off at a slight reduction. Most of the manufacturers, how ever, are firm. and have refused all offers, except at the full rates. The market is exceedingly unsteady, and a very trifling amount of business is being transacted. Shippers are doing little, their business being confined to actual orders. The home-trade houses are complaining, and it is thought by some that cholera is preventing many buyers from appearing in the market. Man chester, however, has been so favoured hitherto that this cannot have much influence. Yarns and heavy goods are iu no better condition than last week, and but very few sales are effected. SOUTH'EAbTERN RAILWAY.—We understand that the directors have determined upon carrying out all the important financial recommendations of the shareholders' committee of investigation. The dividend to be declared to-morrow for the past half.year—which, it is to be borne in mind, is the worst six months of the railway year—will be a reduced one. It is rumoured that the dividend will be about 10F. or 12a. LATE Flan AT CAMBRIDGE.—An inquest to in quire into the manner in which the late fire in this town I originated was commenced on Monday last, at the Town hall, before Mr. C. H. Cooper, deputy for Mr. D. King, the coroner for the borough, and a number of witnesses were examined. The further inves igation was ad• journed till yesterday evening. The inquiry was insti tuted in consequence of ru mours which were circulated to the prejudice of character. The orders for the Hecate steam sloop to equip and sail with all speed from Portsmouth for the Cape el' Good Hope, issued on Sunday night, were superseded by others on Monday night, returning her to her former state. Pleasure is like a cordial, a little of it is not in jurious, but too much destroys,--Eliza Cook's t,Tournal, Scarcely a cottage was to be seen unadorned by the rose, the ivy, the dahlia, the honeysuckle, the holly hock, or the sunflower ; the latter enshrined in im mortality by the beautiful language of Moore, and its symbolic illustration of constancy. Before we herd this song, the sunflower had seemed the most unto ward of plants from which to extract a poetic image ; it had been degraded, in our imagination, to the re semblance of a hideous old woman with a greasy nightcap. What charms are there in that uncultivated heath at Walton— nature run wild in the pursuit of beauty ! Here Cupid and Psyche seem to kiss each other. What iudescribable tints penetrate the eye! But we must hurry on, for the Grand Stand is in sight, and the Pindaric scene opens on the view with gay streamers floating in the breeze from every stand and tent. How different from the approach to Good wood ! To the latter we ascend by a kind of giant stairca,e to the Olympian heights, where walking over the sleeping Titans, stretching their huge lengths along the Southern Downs, we reach the delightful scene of the gods of the race-course. At Epsom the race ' belong to men, who travel by excursion trains at "an awful sacrifice," and "unparalleled low fares." The Goodwood stand is appropriate for the aristocratic few, Epsom for the oligarchic many. Each side of the Epsom course, for half a mile in length, was lined by tier on tier of men in the sombre habiliments which characterise our country, varied by the occa sional display of the more brilliant dresses of the women. Vehicles of all kinds, men of all grades, and beautiful women crowd to the Downs, just befcre tenanted only by flocks of sheep, whom, if they could not be covered by a sheet as a pack of hounds, were at least covered with the material from which our blankets are made. Popular and rustic amusements, unknown to Goodwood, engage the attention and delight the mixed multitude who flock to Epsom, where the natural darkies and the artificial, in imita tion of semi-savage life, are especial favourites. What an enchanting sight to an Englishman, and especially to a Yorkahireman, from the vicinity of Hambleton Moor, is the stripping of the noble animals who are to contend, as eager for and as delighted in the race as the bipeds for whose particular entertain ment and profit they are brought hither. The round barrel, the broad and deep chest, the small head, the slender neck, the powerful muscles of the hind quar ters, the springy tread of the foot, lighter than gos samer, are all conspicuous, as well as other beautiful adaptations known only to the cognoscenti. In what a profusion of rainbow colours are the riders distin guished, themselves rendered, by training, light and corky, and ready to fly over the moon, if provided with a suitable Pegasus. But no winged steeds of fabulous times are wanting now to impart a charm to the brilliancy of the scene which the handicap pre sents, with its valuable stakes, amounting to 8901., for the victor. Ten horses were put through their paces, to incite the crowded betting ring to support their favourites, and to challenge the field. Loud were the bidders against the field, which indicated either that some of the horses were great favourites, or that the mathematical calculus had been brought into operation to educe a large profit out of the long I odds. The new Derby course, recently constructed, now gives the spectator from the grand stand a full view of the starting and of the whole course of the flail For more than half the length of the course all the horses, save one, might have been covered by a sheet. At Tattenham Corner the competitors began to sepa rate a little, skilful jockeyship was called into full play, the power and mettle of each steed was urged to the uttermost, and Kissaway came in first, with the Maid of Masham second, and Mounseer the third, the other seven horses having no place in the estima tion of the judges of the course. For other particulars of the day's races better authorities must be consulted. As regards running, the Derby day itself could not present a richer treat to the true sportsman. The initiative has been given at Epsom by the spirited exertions of Mr. Dulling and his supporters to add autumnal and spring races to the grand summer display; and fresh opportuni ties and inducements have been thereby afforded to the cultivation of the horse-race, in the prosecution of which pursuit " panting nations toil after us in vain," The Aristocratic Stakes (Handicap) of 10 sm. each, h ft, with 25 added.

GREAT TARE of PERcir.—Our Macduff fisher men, having dropped the herring, have betaken them selves to the haddock fishing, in which they have had fair success; but towards the end of last week they have had a fully greater number of perch than of haddocks. The perch is rather a rare fish in this quarter. They are generally got about the close of the herring season; but never during the memory of the oldest fisherman. have they been got here in such quantities. On Satur day last every fisherwoman had a good creelful; and so abundant were they that they sold at about ld. a pound; fish weighing two and three pound► selling at 2J. gad 3d.—Banff ,hire Journal. PORT AND HARBOUR OF CLIESTER.—RIVER DEL-- A most important inquiry took place at the Town-hall, Chester, during the last week, before two Admiralty Commissioners. The object of the inquiry was to ascer tain how far the River Dee Company had carried out its engagements respi cling the maintenance of a depth of water for vessels drawing fifteen feet at high water of a moderate spring tide, in this important and once flourish ing navigation. It is contended by its opponents, that the company has embanked large estates from the estuary 'of the Dee, at the sacrifice of the navigation. The meetings were numerously and respectably attended, and among those present were Sir A. Dalrymple, Mr. Ran kin, and Mr. W. A. Provis, C.E., on the part of the company; Mr. Henry Robertson, C.E., and Mr. Robert Roy, secretary, and Mr. Marten, Parliamentary agent, representing the Chester and Shrewsbury Railway Company, and Mr. T. L. Marriott and Mr. Hamilto n Fulton, C.E.. on the part of the shipping and manufac turing interests. The report of the Admiralty is looked for with much interest by all parties concerned, and the citizens of Chester are sanguine as to the Dee Company being compelled to resto re the navi g ation to its former efficiency. MELANCHOLY EYENT.—A YOUTH SHOT VIDAR. RoTHEsAY.—On Monday last a party of young gentle men, who were out on a pleasure excursion fr om Rothesay to Arran, were passing near to the vitrified f ort , o ne of the company, intending to signal another boat that left at the same time, took a gun from the den for the purpose of firing it, when it unaccountably went off, and lodged its fatal contents in the neck o f t h e unfortu nate youth, causing instant death. This painful event has caused considerable sensation and sympathy for the respected family of the deceased. All who knew him regret the loss of one so promisi ng , an d i n all respects so amiable as he is said to have been. Ile was about 17 years of age, the eldest son of James 11. Semple, Ebq hanker, and was on the ev e o f l eav i rg the parental roof, for a highly-respectable s it ua ti on i n L ondon. W e trust this instance of the danger resulting from the injudicious use of fire-arms will not be lost upon all. It is melan choly to think on the loss of ao many valuable lives from similar causes, and especially at the licence given to youths to carry fire-arms. It would be an act of hu manity, and spare the anxious fears of many a parent could measures be adopted to prohib i t those under 20 years of age, at least, from handling such deadly and dangerous weapons.—. North British .Mai l. DUNBAR HERRING FISHING, SEPT. IJ . — After every ouo believed the fishing to be over, and many of the boats bad been drawn up for the season, the fish have set in as abundant as ever, and for th e l as t t h ree days the boats have come in nearly f u ll. Th e mer chants are purchasing them at three shillings per cren. The shoal is so large, that, had even one-half of the boats which attended this station during the season been present now, there would have been little or no room to work up the fish.

HALF PRE NI HIM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the premiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be psid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured. or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted. whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PA RTN ER • HIP POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retail ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without haying to wait until it can be recovered from outstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator. No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
