The speech of Sir W. MOLESNVOLTu at the nomina ion of candidates for the borough of Southwark con trasts nobly with the speeches of his two opponents. The clear enunciation of fact:6, and the manly spirit *hieh distinguished this hustings' oration, would have iieen admired by the most fastidious and refined audience. It abounded with truth. There was no lhaffting, no attempt to please the bigots, no flinching frona hig declared and honest avowal of his sentiments tespecting the grant to •.Maynooth, nor any wish to apologise for his literary labour s in editing the works of ~11°1hEs• "I might," said he, " have avoided all the 'linger of the contest if I would have shrunk from the B i d of haveofjustice to Iristnd. I was asked how I should t .,, 7('"'" Wit:a regard to the late grant to Maynooth. X k• t. th an lgut tave evaded that question. I might have said I Was not in Parliament when that measure was " 44 , k _ ed, that it was settled and gone by. I felt, however j‘t it was my duty to you honestly to state my tlirliort With regard to that grant, and I felt that in jus ~..s i ee to Ireland I must have voted for it."

L tb, 9 0 Or ,-~= experimental cruises shifted her stores, and restowed her provisions 'so as to neutralise some of the dangerous imi perfections of her steerage qualities, her heavy rolling, &c., which were reported on her pYevious trip. The Queen, it must be allowed, has also been judiciously handled at last, and altered in dock in the interval that has elapsed since that period, so as to hate eXhibited railing qualities of a much superior order to any that, up to this time, she had ever been found to manifest. We are to'o thankful for a good first-class man-of-war not to rejoice at the distinction she has attained ; and for that distinction Sir WiLLIAM SYMONDS is entitled to take credit, as a set-off against the very seirious account which Sir CHARLES NAPIER, Captain BERKELEY, and other not "ex officio," but professional " auditors of the navy esti mates" have brought against him for wasteful disburse ments of the public money on his own unprofitably con structed ships. And this allusion to the Gallant Com modore reminds us of a certain "Return" moved for, last session, by another naval officer of distinction in the House of Commons (Lord INGESTRE), and just distri buted under the title of " Navy ; Queen, &c.," ordered to be printed Bth August 1845, (N 0.634). Among this mass of papers is the " Return," we allude to, " of the expenses in building and repairs of the ships undermentioned, distinguishing those built by the Surveyor of the Navy, &c., &c." In this list we find the Queen (110), built by Sir W. SYMONDS, in 1839, at a cost of 83,0001., and repaired in 1843 ; again repaired in 1844 ; and again TWICE in the present year, 1 845. Now, it is curious to observe how the changeable and extensive character of these re pairs has increased in the present year smcz the former trip of the Queen 'with the Experimental Squadron. The Queen is only six years old, and she has undergone repairs during the last three years of that term no less than four times. In 1843 her repairs cost 464/. only. In 1844 her further repairs cost 1,8531` This year the cost of her first batch of additional repairs, &c., was 1,5201., being for " alterations of gripe, additional false keel, rudder, post, and stations of masts." These, we apprehend, were "alterations" very clearly connected with those defective sailing and steer ing properties that had been so sensibly ex perienced on the former cruise. But what is the amount of the last repairs—the second demand on that account for the fist seven months of 1845 ?-6,270/. for " repairs and fittings ; CAULKING, COPPERING, build_ ing magnaines according to the new establishment, &c.' , So that here is a total expense of 10,0001✓ in three years, for repairs of a new first-rate, which, prior to her cruise of last year, can scarcely be said to have seen the sea. If alterations of gripe, additions to false keel and rudder, and changing the station of masts, bespeak original errors of draught and construction, in what regards the steering and sailing of a ship, the caulking and new coppering and other most extensive and expensive repairs to her hull bespeak, with equal significance, vices of' construction that have caused her timbers to strain and her frame to labour. Let us then be permitted to hope, at least, that if Sir ILLIAM is to be continued in his post of Surveyor of the Navy, he will in future condescend to learn from the ascertained deficiencies, faults and errors of construction always complained of in his ships, and now tested and irrefragably proved by the success which has attended these radical and elementary alterations of his original draughts, estimates, and designs, what he has so long and obstinately persisted in refusing to be taught by the practical example of other systems adopted by other builders. Whilst the yards of our private builders at Cowes, in London, at Southamp ton, at Greenock, at Douglas„ have been turning out vessels of all sizes and capacities, from pleasure sailing yachts to steam-frigates, designed with so much theore tical science, and laid down, and built with so much technical judgment, skill, and compactness, as to be models unrivalled for the combined qualities of symmetry and sailing, of easy steerage and hardi ness, compactness and capacity, unrivalled by the naval architects of any other country ; our Government ship-building is so notoriously inferior to that of our most formidable rivals, that an old French 84 is still in our vast navy an unequalled ship of her own class ; and new 74-gun ships, like the Scarborough, no sooner take the sea than they are discovered to be so worthless as to be compelled to be broken up, and their materials sold at a loss of probably 35,0001.10 40,0001 on one such ship to the country. The official survey on the Scarborough, made in 1830 (as we learn from another of the returns before us), reported that the re pairs she then needed would amount to 47,1181: No doubt, therefore, it was far better to sell the materials of such a worthless hull at once but is it not intolerable, to say nothing for the present of the public peril incurred by such scandalous mismanagement, that the nation should have its money squandered on such blenders of professional incapacity? From a "Return o the expenses on the building and repairs of the Ships undermentioned, distinguishing those built by the Sur veyor of the Navy and other constructors," some of Sir WILLIAM SYMONDS' favourite craft appears to have re quired very speedy and very costly cobbling. The re pairs of the Queen, as we have already shown, in six years cost 10,1071. without any service ; 121 per cent. on her building cost of 83,0001. The Vanguard, one of Sir Wuswe's eighty guns, which was built for 62,1151., cost for repairs, in ten years, 11,6001, or within a fraction of 19 per cent• The Pique (only saved from foundering on her home ward voyage from Quebec, by the seamanship and intre pidity of the Hon. Captain Rous and her gallant crew), a 36 gun frigate, cost 33,000/. for building in 1834. In eight years her repairs had cost 6,0471., after getting on shore, 3,670/. more ; together 9,7171., or 30 per vent. The Vernon (50), completed in 1832, cost 48,4871 She was built in twelve months. In the first three sub sequent years ber repairs were 5,5471. In the next three (18 1 35 to 1838), 12,4701.; in the early part of the present year, 3,534'. Thus, in thirteen years, the repairs of this new crack experimental ship, the Surveyor's mas terpiece, it was said, before he brought out the Queen, have stood the country in a sum of 21,5511., or 44f per cent. on her building cost. But Sir Wri.• Lrem's Vestal (78) has proved, comparatively speaking, a still more chargeable affair. She was built in 1833 for 21,383/. In eleven years her repairs had amounted to 12,8701., or 60 per cent. on her build I We suppose we are not to have these results inflicted on us in future, otherwise the exceptional superiority in experimental 'cruising of the Queen and the Albion will be dearly pur chased at the expense of entailing a renewal of Sir WIL LIAM'S extravagant searches after " the practical." The Madrid journals of the 3d instant contain abun dance of rumours, but no intelligence of interest. Two of them affirm that a marriage between the QUEEN and the Prince of ASTURIAS has been arranged, and will shortly take place ; while a third, the Ileraldo, pro nounces the match impossible, and adds, that not the slightest symptom of such a result has been evinced dur ing the royal progress in the Basque provinces. The Globo, on what authority is not stated, anticipates a fa vourable settlement of the sugar question between the Spanish and British Governments ; and the Clamor thus denounces the NARVAEZ Ministry:—" All parties are hostile to the Government ; every class of men ex ecrates it. Liberals, Conservatives, Carlists, Apostoli cals direct against it their just resentment. There does not exist an independent journal that does not oppose it ; there is not a political party that does not consider itself outraged by it." The QUEEN arrived at Pampeluna on the 3d ; on the following day the French Princes entered the palace, and were received by the Court with every demonstration of enthusiastic welcome, Little business was done on the Bourse. The Three per Cents. were quoted 33 for account, but nothing was done in the other stocks. Most of the Paris papers contain brief comments on the arrival of Queen VICTORIA at Eu, which was an nounced to the good people of the capital in the follow ing telegraphic dispatch : " " EU, SEPT.: 8, 9 o'CnocK, A.M. The Queen of England has just arrived. The King pro ceeded to meet her Majesty, and went on board her yacht. " The Queen afterwards entered the royal barge, with the King, Prince Albert, the Prince de Joinville, Prince Augustus of Saxe Coburg Gotha, and M. Guizot, and landed at Treport at nine o'clock, the weather being magnificent, amidst the acclamations of the entire population." The remarks of the Opposition journals on the event are not in the best taste. A strange delusion prevails among the monopolists of France that the QUEEN in making friendly visits to her relatives at Coburg and to the French Court, had something else in view than per sonal gratification—that, in fact, she was on a diplomatic commission, got up expressly for promoting the com mercial interests of her country. The Pressc infers that she was not successful in - Germany, for, says that jour nal—" It is affirmed that the QUEEN returns little pleased with her journey to the banks of the Rhine—a journey which has concluded more abruptly than was avticipated." The Commerce, alluding to this statement, expresses a hope that " her MAJESTY had not gone to Franco to seek compensation for the failure, and to renew the nego tiations for a commercial treaty between the two coun tries." These appear to us very contemptible paragraphs in papers that profess to contain information for men of common sense, and certainly are not at all in keeping with the usual gallantry of the French character. The Constitutionnel, in rather a better spirit, thus alludes to the interview between her MAJEST y and Prince METTERNICH ;„ rill; SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY ETI4.INING, SEPTEMBER 11, IMS: —" The QUEBN'S jourileY Worn Frankfort to Antwerp prestiiteii nothing worthy of remark. At Frankfort her MAJESTY dined with the King of BAVARIA, whom chance had brought to that city, aftei a visit to the Grand Duke of HESSE DAttMSTADT, at A.schaffenbottit. br; MET : TErtrticit also happened to be (no doubt likewise by hakte) at the royal table, and by the side of the Earl o f ABERDEEN. '.lt was observed,' says a Frankfort letter, " that those two statesmen had an anttliatetl conversation which was protratited long after dinner.' A charming espiiglerie is told of the QUEEN, who, observing the vivacity with which the Austrian Arch-Chancellor spoke, rose, and went and presented him, with her own royal band, the clap of coffee intended for him." The National makes the following remarks on the amusements prepared at Pampeluna for the French Princes : " The inhotent Queen Isabella and her august mother, Madame Munoz, are not contented with witnessing the shoot ing of deer, they must have a spectacle of higher gold, and the Presse initiates us precisely in a former number into the na ture of their ingenious and delicate amusement, which con sists in seeing horses ripped up, and men killed by bulls, Which are eventually slaughtered, after being stabbed, pierced, and burnt in every way. We consider these scenes as quite equal to the hunting in the German fashion. In both cases the spectacle is odious and ignoble. At Pampe luna, however, it is men, and in Germany deer that suffer. The difference is not in favour of the protegee of the Presse, and if blood must be shed, we prefer that of the deer of Gotha. What makes these royal enjoyments most strik ing is there having been got up to fête the Duke and Duchess de Nemoure, who are much diverted by them. The Physician of the Malade Imaginaire offered his mistress the pastime of an autopsy ; the innocent Isabella amuses her visitors by a cruel slaughter of men and animals. In our amphitheatres they operate on dead subjects—in Spain on living ones ; it is much more amusing. England i s move d at seeing her young Queen acquire a taste for blood in a deer-hunt. In Spain and in France—at least amongst the friends of the daughter and the widow of Ferdinand VII.— nothing wrong is seen a bull fight ; nay more, the scene is related in a picturesque style, as if it were a simple thing. It is then that the massacres of Barcelona, the shootings at Madrid have so far strung the nerves of Spanish royalty that there is no longer anything to fear for them in witness ing bullfights? In this case, however, it would, in our opinion, have been well to have shown more consideration, If not for the feelings, at least for the eyes of the Regent promised to the pacific destinies of our country." The Paris Bourse on Tuesday was crowded to excess by speculators in railway lines. Before the adjudication of the Northern line, the prices were all higher than on Monday, and ROTHSCHILD'S were once done as high as 920 f. This price was, however, soon reduced to about 900 f., at which it remained to the close. After the ad judication, the price of the ROTHSCHILD rose to 910 f. ; after some transactions at that price, fell to the old quo tation 900 f., at which they closed. All the other nor- them promises closed about sf. higher than yesterday's prices. Fampoux to Hazebruck rose to 530 f., at which they closed. The general effect of the adjudication was less than might have been expected. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Tuesday at 84f. 40c. ; the Five per Cents. 119 f. 15c. ; the Orleans Railroad Shares 1,315 f. • Rouen, 1,122 f. • , 50c • „ Havre, 9201. ; Avignon, 1,080 f.; Vierzon, 805 f. ; Bord eaux , 722 f. 50c. ; Troyes and Montereau, 532 f. 50c.; Basle, 290 f. ; Belgian Two-and-a-Half per Cents, 59f. 10c.

The Journal des Debats of yesterday publishes the fol lowing telegraphic dispatch, dated Madrid, midnight, on the sth instant : " An attempt at insurrection was made this evening at ten o'clock, but was promptly repressed by the troops. Only one officer was killed.' The Duke and Duchess de Nemours and the Duke d'Aumale returned to Bayonne from Pampeluna on the Bth instant. The French fleet, consisting of seven ships of the line, and having on board 5,000 marines, sailed from Toulon on the 6th, it was believed for the coast of Spain. The Frankfort Journal mentions that the King of Wirtem burg had been twice fired at at Meran, in Tyrol, but fortu nately without being injured. The Carlsruhe Gazette publishes the same report, and adds that the Jesuits were no strangers to the attempt.

The Hono rary Silver Medal of Lloyd's to Lieut. William Gould, R.N., and votes of money to seamen instrumental in saving the crews of vessels wrecked on the coast, were proposed and carried at this meeting. PRINCE CHARLES STEVVART..*A controversy has arisen regarding the orthography of the name Stewart, it being maintained by many that it should be spelt Stuart. Therri is nothing more subject to the caprice of individuals than the manner in which they spell their proper names ; the origin of appellations being entirely lost sight of. This is seen very Oh viously in the word before us. Robert 11., Grett Steward of Scotland, gave, from his office, the name by which the Scottish royal family were afterwards distinguished, and the substitution of t for d arose merely from its being more suitable to Scottish pronounciation. It is is said that it was Queen Mary who first altered the mode of spelling, and having been brought up in France it was very probable that she did so; indeed, there was no other way in which French writers could spell it. There is an announcement of a reprint, with ample notes, by William Aleikleharn, Esq., LL. S., of all the passages in the Glasgow Co .rant of 1745 relating to Prince Charles, which will be exceedingly ienrious, as that gentleman's copy is the reference to Charles sp correct in Only one known to be extant. We perceive that he l ias the name printed " S'Aewart," in which he is ';:<lrrectly its origin. The with whom Prince and the P . nt his youth, could not otherwise spell this word, T dighlanders having also no w in their alphabet, were compeo,led to use the same orthography. It is, therefore, affee lw;:i a l i !p o n t a re l . l o ge f r o y r ta.,w, n to retain a mode of spelling which nations were forced th adopt from the defect of their alphabet. elosle'slifEor RtheATanlOnuNaAlLvaGcaAtioLnLEthtlisYd.—ayllalL public inspection till the 27th of October neat, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEM' S 47.711, QVARTFJ T THREJ.

A move i n th e right di rection has been made by the state of Pennsylvania, and our hope is that she may continue to rise from the lowly posi tion her adhesion to repudiative principles once placed her in. We are informed that Pennsylvania Stock is worth now a much higher value than it realised a few months back. Still there is not a great deal of business doing here. There was not any Colonial arrivals of interest announced this morning. The pool is much crowded with foreign as well as colonial shipping, and a vast amount of business is at the present moment doing. It is very satisfac tory to be enabled to represent the woollen and the cotton manufactures as being most active. The abolition of the duty upon theimportation of foreign wool has, contrary to all the anticipations of the croakers against Sir R. Peersetariff, proved most satisfactory to all branches of the woollen trade. If such beneficial results have followed the opening of the Wool trade, (and there is no doubt that very conside ra bl e a d vantage has resulted from the abolition of this duty), what excuse can there be w h y t h e P rem i er should not try th e e ff ect of a free importat i on o f f ore i gn wheat ? Accounts from Belgium state that there was an import of potatoes from Scotland owing to the high price of the article here. From:Sweden and Moscow we are advised that their potatoes looked well, though wheat at the latter place was deficient in yield. The Continental states are doing their best to forward their crops, a proof of the attention which they would withdraw from manufacturing pursuits, provided they had sufficient ennouragement to send their produce here. A highly influential agricultural association exists in Prussia, the subscriptions to which amount to 21,000 francs per annum, each member paying 6 francs, and receiving the so ciety's reports in return. The State is said to afford aid also to the association. There is not a single price for Consols for the Account this morning. For Money 98 1 ,6 % are the only rates at which business has been done.. The premium on Exchequer-bills is steady at 465. East India Stock. is dull at 269 for Money, and at 269% for the Account. Mexican Bonds in the Foreign Stock Exchange have fallen to-day to 33, and the Deferred to 17. Columbian are a shade lower also. Portuguese are steady ; the Four per Cent. Dutch have rallied to 99%; and Spanish Conaola are still quoted at 2.7%, The holders of Shares here in the several Companies which are now represented by Messrs. Roth; child ofParis, to whom the concession of the Great Northern of France Railway has been made, are naturally d es i rous t o h ave a f a i r pr i nc i p l e es t a bli s h e d in the division of shares among them ; but we fear that a sort of favouritism is likely to be too general. From this remark we must not embrace either the principals of the Rothschilds, the Lafittes, the Hottingeurs, or the Rosamel Companies. The subject is one, however, to which a considerable degree of interest is attached here and in Paris. The Laffitte's Shares are at 2% 34 premium to-day, the Rosamel's at I%jand 1%, and the Pepin to Halleur at % premium. The principal changes in the British railways this morning- have been as follows, first premising that the demand is fair for established and the new and well-selected fresh lines. The London and Birmii?gham Shares have been quoted. at 221--the present price nominally. The Bir mingham and Gloucester have realised as much, in the course of the morning, as 132. The Direct Manchester are nominal, at 4%.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUIC.) IN RE PEIRELLER. The Court was occupied the whole of the morning in hear ing Mr. Cooke in opposition to this bankrupt, who came up for examination on adjournment from the 15th of August. The bankrupt, who was described as a coal merchant, of Tysoe-street, Wilmington-square, is well known in the sporting circles. The examination to-day was principally directed to the dis posal of several valuable guns to Messrs. Brown, Boydell, Richardson, Dutt, and Co. One gun alone was valued at 80 guineas. The bankrupt said some of his books had been destroyed by his children. He swore that the guns had been given in satis. faction of bond fide debts. He had not parted with any dogs. The COMMISSIONER said tkat, on the whole, he considered an adjournment advisable, to afford time for further inquiry, and he considered the case had better stand over till he could hear it himself. In the interim, the bankrupt must content him self with an order for subsistence-money from this time, but iu prospective to be paid, if on his next examination all the doubtful points were cleared up. The case was not over till two o'clock.: GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.) A person, who was stated to be most respectably connected, but who was most miserably dressed, and who pve her name as Sarah Pennell, was brought before Alderman Kelly, charged with breaking two squares of glass, value 51. Jane Niel, of the Red Cross public-house, said that about eight o'clock that morning the prisoner came into the house and threatened to break all the windows en Mr. White's premises. Orders had been given for some time past not to serve her with liquor. She left the house, and presently afterwards wit ness heard a great smash, and on going outside observed a crowd about the prisoner, who bad a stone in her band. A police man shortly came up and she was given into custody. There were two squares of plate-glass broken, which would cost from 41. to 51, to replace. She was not intoxicated, and used most violent language. Police-constable 163 said that she was well known. Alderman KELLY said she must pay the 51., which not being forthcoming, she was committed to prison for two months, and on her release to find sureties for her good beha viour for the next six months. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) William James, a cabman, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and with assaulting a young woman named Emma Haywood, who was also placed at the bar charged with being drunk and disorderly. Policeman F 65 found the prisoners, at half-past eleven o'clock last 'night, at the door of the public-house, the Coach and Horses, in Bow-street, from which they were turned out, where James was beating the other prisoner violently. Hay wood called upon him to take the man in charge, which he did. Inspector Logan, of the F division, said that the policeman brought the prisoner James to the station a little before twelve o'clock. He received the charge, but the girl Haywood using very foul language, insisting on his liberation, he ( witness) thought it necessary to lock her up also. The prisoner Haywood denied having been drunk. She had been beaten severely by the other prisoner, and she went into hysterics at the station. She denied using any bad language. Mr. JAannta said that he must sentence both prisoners to seven days' imprisonment. The prisoner Haywood asked whether there was any fine, as she bad , an infant at home to which no one would attend during ber imprisonment. Mr. JARDINE said he would not fine the prisoner. He would send to the house she lived •"at to ascertain whether she had a child there, and if so, it should be taken care of during her imprisonment. SOUTHWARK ELECTION. (THIS DAY.) STATE OF THE POLL.

A meeting of the shareholders in this railway was held this day at the London Tavern, for the purpose of submitting the plan of their proceedings in the ensuing Parliament. The advertisement having been read, Mr. CAPPER was called to the chair, and in a few re marks stated that their engineer, Sir John Rennie, had resigned, and Mr. John Miller was elected in his stead. He was happy to say, that although their expenses in the late contest in Parliament had been very heavy, they had still money and money's worth left, and the prices of shares in the market at that time were higher than when originally issued. He should call upon the Secre tary at once to read the Directors' and the Engineer's report. The Secretary then read the reports alluded to, After stating the course pursued during the last session before the Committee of the House of Commons, and their defeat by the London and York, the report thus proceeded:— " Holding it to he now settled, beyond doubt, that a new line from London to York would be sanctioned, irrespective of existing routes, and being convinced that the scheme of the London and York does not satisfy the main conditions which ought to attach to such a line, as a communication of great national importance, your Directors instructed Mr. John Miller, the distinguished engineer of the North British Railway (to whom they have now committed the entire charge of the engineering department) to examine the country between London and York, and to report to them his opinion, with a view to future proceedings. " In his opinion the Directors most heartily concur, and they propose acting upon it, by carrying out the system of railway therein recommended. " To the North British, the Great North of England, and the other lines which form the eastern route to Scotland, the formation of the shortest line from London to York is of vital importance, and the Directors think themselves justified in anticipating that the scheme recommended by Mr. Miller will receive the cordial support and co-operation of these Companies, as well as of the population generally of the north-eastern portion of Great Britain. "In Mr. Miller's hands the Directors are confident that they will be enabled to submit to Parliament a main line which shall be at least ten miles shorter than that proposed by the London and York, and which, combined with the necessary branches, will sine a greater amount of local ac commodation. "The Directors are enabled to state that did gross amount of expenses incurred will be about thirty shillings pdt share, and, consequently, to such Shareholders as may desire to withdraw from the further prosecution of the undertaking, there will remain the sum of, say from 17s. to 1/. per share on their original deposits of 21.105. per share to be eettitned. ",Having maturely considered all the circumstances of the case, the Directors have come to the determination that the original project of an integral line from the metropolis to York on the direct principle, and under one management, ought to be resumed and proceeded with in the ensuing ses sion of Parliament. " For this purpose the Directors propose that the required capital of 4,000,0001. shall be divided into 160,000 shares of 251. each, those Rharehoiders who may desire to continue their interest in the undertaking being entitled, with the sanction of the Directors, to exchange their Scrip Certificates of 50/. each for two new shares of 25/. each, on paying up such further sum per share as, with the remainder of the former deposit, will make up 10 per cent. upon the capital now required to be deposited by the Standing Orders of the House of Lords. As to any shares that may remain at the disposal of the Directors, after carrying out this arrange ment, they will consider a preference to be due to approved holders of the present Scrip." The report of Mr. Miller, the engineer, was then read, recommending a direct line from Landon to York in pre ference to a line which should more particularly study the local accommodation of the district. He proposed that those local disadvantages should be met by a system Of branch lines, Mr. J.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) The near approach of the St. Leger, and the announce ment of so many Sweeps (as they are termed) being about to be drawn, induces me to think that an analysis of the per formance of those horses I expect to see at the post will not prove uninteresting, or unprofitable to my readers. A more open St. Leger has not been run since the race has been established, and I fully anticipate a field worthy of the days of Memnon and Tarrare. The declaration relative to the Merry Monarch has not surprised me; I never recollect a Derby winner occupying so low a position in the St. Leger market as Mr. Gratwieke's horse did. Like his name sake, he proved ungrateful to those friends who supported him in his troubles, for it must be borne in mind he was backed heavily, notwithstanding the reports that were flying about respecting him. The curtailment of the Meeting is, in my opinion, most advantageous, and there is every prospect of the good old days of Doncaster being revived. And now to business. As a matter of course I commence with Miss Sarah, the property of that excellent sportsman, Major Tar burgh, who won the St. Leger with Charles the Twelfth after his memorable dead heat with Euclid. Miss Sarah is a brown filly, by Gladiator, out of Easter, and made her debi4t in the Oaks, for which race she ran third to Refraction, Hope beating her for the second place by a length. For this race she had a strong party of friends from the north, who were much mortified at her defeat. The next time we hear of her is at the August York Meeting, where she beat the redoubtable Miss Elis (winner of the Goodwood Stakes and Cup) and eight others, among them Annandale, the second for the Derby, and her old antagonist, Hope. This splendid performance put her friends in such good humour that they immediately raised her to the pre miership, and 7 to 2 can only be had against her now. As far as blood is concerned Miss Sarah is unexceptionable. Gladiator, her sire, being got by Partisan (the sire ofGlaucus and an immense number of winners). He ran second to Mundig for the Derby, and numbers among his progeny ' Napier who ought to have won the St. Leger in Nutwith's year. Easter is by Brutandorf, who has also distinguished himself as a sire. Miss Sarah will be ridden by Holmes, a man fully capable of doing justice to her. Weatherbit is by Sheet Anchor out of Miss Letty, and the property of Mr. Gully. Like Miss Sarah he never came out as a two-year-old, but made his appearance in public in the last Derby, for which, although second favourite and heavily backed, he was not placed, his stable companion Old England beating him and a large field besides, and getting the third place in the race. His next appearance was at Ascot, where, for the Welcome Stakes, he beat a field of nine ;;among them Lord Lonsdale's Turquoise colt (21b), and Re fraction (61b extra). At Goodwood, Winchester going amiss, Weatherbit was sent for overnight and although not quite " cherry-ripe," managed to run second to Miss Elis for the Cup. This feat, considering Miss Elis had run for the Stakes the day before, is not very en couraging to his backers. No horse in the race has been more knocked about than he has been by the betting men— the youthful Mr. Clifton having laid upwards of 30,000/. against him, and in order to testify the opinion he entertains of him, offered lately to lay 10,0001. to 2,000/. against him, and stake the money. His friends (but I am not one of them) still stick to him, with a pertinacity worthy of a sheriff's officer. I cannot think he will ever forget the Good wood Cup. Who his jockey will be I have no idea; for his owner's and friends' sakes, I trust it will not be Sam or John Day, both being unequal to the task required of them, more especially the former. I now come to another Sheet Anchor, Mr. St. Paul's Mentor, who, although backed by his party for a large sum for the Derby, was yet nowhere. He then came out for the Northern Derby at Newcastle, where he beat Vaudeville and three others. At Liverpool shortly afterwards, for the St. Leger, he beat Pantasa and six others by a head. The race was run at great speed, and was entirely between the first two animals. Mentor is trained by Dawson, and will be ridden by Tommy Lye, the oldest of the northern jockies, and ttho has won twice before upon the Queen of Trumps and Blue Bonnets Major YarburgWe Red Robin is next on the list. He is by Gladiator out of Brandysnap—has never yet made his ap pearance in public, but is reported to be 151 b. better than Miss Sarah. If this be true the race ought to be over—l cannot say who will ride him. I now come to Mr. Mostyn's Pantasa, by Picaroon out of Acanthus—a horse that is strongly fancied in the provinces. It is somewhat singular he should have run second on three occasions, viz., in the Welcome Stakes, at Ascot, where he was second to Old England ; at the York August Meeting, where he was second to the Lancashire Witch for the prince of Wales, and at the Liverpool July Meeting, where Mentor beat him a head for the St. Leger. Mr. Gully's Old England next dem ands my at t en tion. He is by Mulatto, out of Fortress, and comrheenNceedw hsitsakraecsinagt career when a tWo•year-old, by winning Ascot. He followed up his succekss.inAttnethJeu Meeting, l s y eeondo 0 by winning winning the July Stakes by he won the Steppingly Stake a s , n a e n e l s i A t h b e . Houghto nln t h epresent Meeting carried oft' a Sweepstakes of 50 a so a . th, bat was stopped by year he was meant to start to William D y giving him powder. Upon his reco. yve"ryn,gsostrong w er g the apprehension of certain persons, now warned oft the Turf, that he would win the Derby, that plans were again formed to destroy his chance at any risk. These were happily discovered in time, and in spit eof what had been already done to him, he was placed third in the race, beating his stable companion Weatherbit ( the second favourite at starting). He was then sent to Goodwood, where with 4 to 1 on him, he beat Longitude and Pic- Nie for the Drawing-room Stakes by a neck. It is almost needless to add, he is trained by John Day. Mr. Painter's bay colt The Pacba, is by J eree d, out of Bird of Passage, and has not yet been out. He owes his present position in the market to the doings of his stable companion, the Jereed filly, at Wolverhampton. .We must now look into the doings of Mr. Watts's Baron. The .Baron is a cliesnut horsa, by Birdcatcher (who once ran second for the St. Leger), and made his first appearance on the turf at the Curragh April Meeting, where he started for the Madrid Stakes, and was beaten by Highwayman. At the following meeting, however, with 7st, 101 b. on him, he won the Kerwans in a canter; beating What, Bst. 21b., and The Cook, Bst. This was by no means discreditable to him, and his subsequent victory in the Second Class Waterford Stakes, beating Ould Irelankinddeed his owner to send him to Liverpool for the St. Leger . fbr which race, from not having the assistance of an English Jockey, and at the same time not being ciuite recovered from his trip across the Channel, he rut tifth. Ile was sent to Mallon, to be under O'CLOCK. RAILWAYS. PAID. PER SHARE. Aberdeen ... 2 1 % 4%%... to Armagh, Coltraine,Portrush 1% 2% to Birmingham and Gloucester 100 ......

London, Sept 11, 1845. TELEGRAPH. (To be continued.) TO THE EDITOR OF 'HE SUN. Slll,—We have now arrive within a few days of the great northern event, the Doncaster St. Leger ; and it is high time for me to give my opinion respenting the merits and. capabilities of the animals likely to start for this important stake. The betting upon this race has been; and in fact still continues to be, the heaviest known for many sears, and, as a matter of course, the excitement is proportional:la—two or three individuals alone having laid against WeaOterbit, Merry Monarch, Old England, and Mentor, to nearly man hundred thousand pounds. This item will contribute tO swell the already heavy books, and to make thefew minutes' running of Wednesday next the most important and exciting "grain of time" the sporting world has known this year. The St. Leger, in 1839, was won by Major Yarburgh with Charles the Twelfth, from a field of thirteen ; now, though I expect to see a larger field this year, I should not be at all surprised to see the colours of the above-natbedi gentleman catch the judge's eye first, although to my eye there are better nags in this stake than any Major Yarbrugh possesses; but to the point, I expect to see fifteen come to the post, neither more nor less, to be selected from the following, viz. :—Weatherbit, Mentor, Old Eng , land, Ould Ireland, Connaught Ranger, Miss Sarah, Annan dale, The Pacha, Fitzallen, Coeur de Lion, hedger, Worth. , less, B re t wa ld a , Cl ear -th e -W ay, J une , F oremos t, Due-an • Durras, Midlothian, Red Robin, The Baron, and Pantasa. The exact number of starters, and their names, it is impos sible for anybody to tell at the present time ; but I shall oak Monday, or T ues d ay at f urt h est, g i ve their names as cot rectly as I possibly can, together with their condition up to, the latest moment. I will now proceed to a careful analysation of the various nags, commencing with the Danebury lot. Weatherbit, by Sheet Anchor, out of Miss Letty, brother to Wee Pet, &c which is no recommendation, by-the-by, i s an an i ma l o f fair proportions, but, like most of the Sheet Anchor get, cuts up , badly, after his brothers Wee Pet and Lightning's fashion, and, like the latter, I shall expect to see it occupy the fourth place. Weatherbit's running for the Derby can be taken as no criterion of what he can do ; but the Goodwood Cup showed too plainly to his backers that it was a "case of pickles," and the attempts made lately to hedge their bets have been truly desperate. Old England, by Mulatto, out of Fortress, by Defences is the stoutest animal in the Leger, capable of going a long dia. tance with weight on his back, and winning easily; but for a mile and a half on the Leger Course, Weatherbit can give him 7lbs. and beat him with the greatest ease ; therefore, notwithstanding the money, Mr. Gully has put " on" him, and his being the " great gun" of the stable, I have not the slightest doubt he will be beaten several lengths. Worth-' less has little more thon the shadow of a chance—l do hot expect to see him at Doncaster. Of Dawson's formidable lot, Mentor is the only one enjoying anygreat degree of favour Ira the ring; and it is more than probable that only two will be sent from this stable. Annandale, in my opinion, will hot start ; and, if he should, would only figure to great disadvantage. Mentor and Midlothian, I fancy, will be the couple selected to represent this stable; of the former, got by Sheet Anchor, out of Calypso's dam, I expect great things. This animal is an exception in the Sheet Anchor stock; in fact, I think Mentor may be considered the Sheet Anchor of the aristocracy of the ring, for the cash invested on this animal by them is to an enormous amount. This colt's running at Newcastle was very good, but it could not be taken as any criterion to go by, lie having run against but so-so fields : his winning the Liverpool St. Leger in the following month settled his station in the betting, and in the opinion of his friends and backers, who after this affair snapped eagerly at all sorts of odds from 7 to 12 ; and so confident were several of his backers that it led one to suppose, that the " great event" was' already settled. The odds lately have been running up and down from 10 to 40 in such a very strange manner, that I guessed something queer must be in the wind, and upon inquiry found that there was a " something" which might possibly stop him from visiting Doncaster this season; his chance if he goes is decidedly first-rate, but more of him mon. Midlothian is a tough piece of stuff, can stand knocking about, and can go well, but I think the pace at which this race will be run will be found too severe for this spirited gelding. The once much-talked-of Clear-the-Way will, if he starts, prove the correctness of his name, for he will most decidedly leave a clear course behind him, and drive the field before him. I shall continue my observations to-morrow.—l am, See. THE SPIRIT OF TILE TURF. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The total number of deaths for the week ending Saturday, September 6, was 762, being 73 less than the previous week, 142 less than the average of four summers, and only about one-half of the number of deaths that occurred weekly at the com mencement of spring. Deaths from measles and bronchitis are considerably above the average, the numbers being respectively 61, average 24, and 17, ave rage 7 ; nearly all the rest are greatly below the usual amount. The deaths from small-pox were only 4, and from violence, 13, of which 4 were fractures and contusions, one from a wound thus described :—" A man 36, dealer in turf. Hemorrhage (20 minutes), rupture of the brachial artery, and diffuse cellular inflammation of right arm and hand, arising from a slight cut in the thumb whilst: cutting bread and cheese three weeks ago." There were 4 suicides and one from poison, " a boy five weeks, son of a labourer, by an over dese of decoction of poppy-head, given by the mother to allay restlessness ; death in six hours." THE MOORS. The accounts from the moors continue favourable. Amongst the sportmen in the Highlands this season is Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, at Mar Lodge, with the Duke of Leeds. We understand that, since the 12th ultimo, Mr. Gisborne has killed twelve stags at Invere shie, and five of these in one day. Mr. Evans, M.P., has also killed five stags at the same place. At Strath vaich, on the 23d, Sir St. George Gore shot sixty-five brace of gfouse ' • and on the 25th an equal number, two snipe, and two hares. Sir St. George had also a double shot at two fine stags, killing both, right and left. At Culrain, Mr. Carter and friend bagged thirty-four brace of grouse on the afternoon of the 25th. Mr. Leslie and party had a fine day's sport in the woods at Glengarry last week, killing twenty-two and a half brace of black game, five brace grouse, three woodcocks, and five roe- deer. -Inverness Courier. The Perth courier remarks :—" The unusually preco city of the young broods of grouse this season, resulting in many cases not only in second broods, but in a second generation of birds in direct descent, has led to a greater variety upon the same shooting-ground than was, perhaps, ever before experienced. A much less propor tion than usual of cherpers, however, are met with, most of the birds being strong upon the wing; but, in such cases, the covies appear to have been partially broken up, the brood having got sufficiently old to leave the parents' care. On the wore extensive shooting in the north the sport con tinues more ual for several weeks. During the first five days nearly 1,009 boxes arrived here from the north by coach and carrier ; at the average of eight brace in a box, would give a total of 8,000 passing south through this road alone. lii addition to the results of the first day's sport mentioned in our li:st, we may men tion that of the Earl of Mansfield, at Ra.nnoch Moors, 90 brace ; Lord Glenlyon and Captain Druomond, at Falar, 89 brace ; Dalnamine, at Atholl Forest, Mr. Cameron and party, 76 brace ; Calvin, near Blair, W. Graham, 65 brace." SALMON Fisunic.—Angling has been first-rate in the Ness last week. On the 28th ult. Alister Fraser, son of Afileck Fraser, Esq., and another young man, landed no less than ten salmon and grilses, weighing from 71bs. to I llbs. each ; and on Monday Captain Cator took nine very fine fish. Some days ago, there was caught in the Spey, near Orton, a salmon which weighed upwards of 401bs. !—lnverness Courier. THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE.—His Royal Highness who is travelling under the title of the Earl of Culloden, ar rived on Sunday night at Cologne. He proceeded next day to the Palace of Rumpenheim, on the road from Frankfort to Wurtsburg. STATE OF TRADE.—The market continues to 130 favourably influenced by the fine weather, and some descrie tions of yarn are rather higher than last week ; whilst goods are in better demand at previous rates.— Manchester Guardian. We hear with sorrow that during the last week, Mr. Ruscombe Poole, of Bridgewater, second son of the late Jos. Ruscombe Poole, Esq., with his wife and three of his sisters and his servants, have seceded from the English Church, and entered into the communion of that of Rome. Mr. R.
