THE SUN, LIT FR A TURF, 11.1.11 ON .1,7:1; ; Twi llaccs A narrative of passion and crime, of love ead jea lousy, and hatred and remorse, written in an ener getic, and even eloquent style, which fascinates the reader's attention throughout, such is " Hanlon and Cater." The talents evidenced by this production pro mise for its author no mediocre success in the realms of romantic fiction. But having said t.hu3 much, having testified our admiration of the graphic de scriptions and vigorous simplicity of style which so considerably enhance the romantic attractions of " Harnon and Catar," we must, in conscience, protest against one great blemish in the construction of the tale, and one which, to our thinking, materially di minishes its interest and attractions. The story of " Hamon and Cater, and Anna and Ada," which of such a character that its heroes and heroines might have been situated in any age or in any nation whatsoever, is supposed to he narrated by no other than Cain, the first murderer ! A wan derer on the face of the globe, he recognises in the crimes and sorrows of his descendants the sad results and retribution of his own crime. The idea is car ried out with a certain amount of success, but there is something at once awful and revolting in thus bringing before us such a being as the narrator of a tale of human love and a chronicler of the trivial incidents which must find place in a record of human life. It was some time before we could disassociate the narrator from the narrative, but when we bad so far succeeded, when we could look upon the tale as a romance—a romance full of power and interest— then, and only then, could we appreciate the talent of the author,, and feel admiration for the results of his labours. Some other time we shall expect from him romances equal to this in beauty and power, but free from the strange drawback of " Hamon and eater." COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, WEDNESDAY.

The Fearless being a vessel of only V-horse r ower and 165 tons burden, and the weight of the gutta p,3rcha and lead covering of the electric wires being upwards o.F 180 tons, the Lords of the Admiralty intend placing another vessel at the disposal of the Electric Telegraph Company . , to facilitate their laying down the line across the Channe',, and the chain of communication has been brought to such a ;state of perfection by the gutta percha covering and outer lHeden covering, that there is every reason to believe it will now be perfectly successful.

By the United States mail steam-ship Hum boldt, Captain Lines, which arrived off Cowes this morning from New York, we have received ac counts from Havannah to the 17th ult., brought to New York by the steamers Winfield Scott and Cherokee. The intelligence from Cuba in reference to the Lopez invasion is of the most disastrous character and had excited a great sensation throughout the United States. According to the voluminous accounts published in the American papers, the expedition which left New Orleans under the command of General Lopez and Colonels Pragay and Clendennin, and numbering about 450 persons, after eluding the vigilance of the Spanish, American, French, and British vessels of war, succeeded in effecting a landing at Cabanos, about 40 miles from Havannah. It is stated that a sanguinary engagement shortly afterwards took place near that point with the Spanish troops, in which 50 Americans were taken prisoners, but not before a great slaughter had been mule on both sides. It is aleo said that the Lopez party killed and wounded nearly 900 of the Spanish soldiery, but this is evi dently a great exaggeration. The subjoined account.is given by the New York _Herald : " After the landing of General Lopez and his party near Bahia Honda fighting with the Spanish troops commenced, and a frightful slaughter took place, as near as we could learn, especially of the Spanish troops. The main body of the patriots, or invaders, were driven to the mountains, and the remainder took to boats and put to sea. These men were captured off Bahia Honda, 40 miles west of Havannah, by the steamer Habanero. The patriots were in four boats. T'ney were brought to Havannah by the Habanero on Saturday morning, the 16th inst., at 1, A.M., and placed on board a Spanish frigate lying in port, and executed at 11.5, A.M. of the same morning. After they were shot they were dragged by the feet by negroes, who commenced stripping them of their clothes, which they carried on sticks through the streets, yelling like so many wild demons. " Annexed is a list of the names of those men who were shot in the public road at Havannah. It is es timated that there were 20,000 spectators : " Colonel W. S. Clendennin. " Captains—F. S. Sewer, Victor Kerr, T. B. Veacey, , " Lieutenants—James Brandt, J. 0. Bryce, Tho mas C. James. " Doctors—John Fisher, K. A. Tourniquet. " Sergeants—J. Whitereue, A. M. Cotchett. " Adjutant R. C.

Senka, James Stanton, Thomas Harnett, Alexander Mc Ilcer, John Stubbs, James Ellis, William Hogan, Charles A. Robinson. " This list embraces 49; there were 52 shot. "Many of the Cherokee's passengers, who were on the spot of the execution, were pointed at with a sneer of contempt, and many stopped in the streets and insulted—called Americans, and that they were one and all of the same party—that one of these days they would be served in the same way. It was dan gerous for an American to be in the streets alone at night." In a letter from Havannah of the 16th ult. are the following particulars of the engagements that had taken place : " Intelligence reached Havannah last week that 400 picked men had been sent out into the mountain of Coscore, by General Lemery, who was made to be lieve that a very small number of the insurgents re mained, and could be easily captured. The result was that the troops were led into ambush, when a large force of the patriots, under Dr. Augustin Aguero y Aguero, rushed upon them and killed some 50 on the spot. The rest of the Spaniards retreated to Principe, as well as they could, in the greatest dis order. "Scarcely had the Government recovered from this shock when their attention was called to the still more serious fact, that a large number of sympa thisers, under General Lopez, had effected a landing at Playitas, a few miles to the westward of Bahia Honda, which took place at four A.M. on the 13th inst. Lopez is decidedly a brave man—brave almost to rashness. It is positively stated here—and I believe it to be true—that the steamer signalled from the Moro Castle on the evening of the 12th, was the same one which conveyed General Lopez and his friends to these shores. Such a daring act of audacity, bearding as it were the lion in his den, is must ex traordinary. " It appears that, close into the entrance of this har bour, Lopez fell in with a schooner, from which he took out the captain and mate, to serve bim as pilots on the coast of Bahia Honda, the navigation of which is very intricate. They arrived off Bahia Honda about 9 P.M , when they immediately commenced making signals to the shore by means of rockets, &c., which probably had been previously agreed upon be tween the liberators and those on shore. General Lopez did not effect a landing with his men until 4 A.m.; but the debarcation was done in so masterly a style that before sunrise he had, not only landed his men with all their munitions of war, but was on his march to Las Posas, a town a few miles distant from the coast, where he immediately commenced intrench ing himself. "In the meanwhile, here, in Havannah, reigned the greatest excitement. The Pizzarro, laden with troops, under the command of General Enna (who is next in command to the Captain-General), and with him the Admiral, left about 8 am. for Bahia Honda, 1,000 men having previously been sent by the rail way cars. " It must be borne in mind that such was the state of confusion and alarm into which the Government were thrown, that they had no distinct idea as to whether Bahia Honda or Mariel were the points to which the liberators had come. However, the follow ing morning, we are informed that General Enna had come up with the pirates, as they are termed by the Government, and had fought with them at Las Posas, in which he regrets the loss of some of his men and others wounded. "In this engagement the Spaniards were com manded by General Enna in person, who had his horse shot from under him; Colonel Radel and seven officers and about 78 men were killed. " So unerring and deadly was the fire of the brave liberators that General Enna was three times repulsed with loss. At this moment the Lieutenant-Governor of Mariel, Colonel Gurrea, came up with about two hundred men more, when the colonel received a shot through his leg. and his men such a check that Ge neral Enna (as he states in his official communication to the Captain-General, dated half-past three o'clock on the 14th) saw the uselessness of attempting any thing further against the pirates without more artil lery, as it would be only exposing his men to cer tain death without any result; consequently he de mended further reinforcements. Accordingly, two steamers (the Habanero and the Almendares) left that day with more troops, to the number of 1,400, so that, according to their own account, with those who have been concentrating from the other dis tricts, they have got upwards of 8,000 men, including cavalry, and up to this moment they have only made three captives, who, as they say in the official bul letin, they instantly put to death. Two of these per sons were sailors belonging to the steamer Pampero, who, after landing Lopez, bad gone into a tavern and got drunk; the other poor fellow was found in a hut unable to move, from a fracture he received when landing. "On the 15th it was known that the liberators, who have been joined in large numbers by the pepple of the country, made a move in the direction of Diego de Nunez and Cabanos, with the intention of possess ing themselves of the fort at the latter place, when, unfortunately, some 40 or 50 of them, who had in the most daring manner endeavoured to get there by sea in four launches, with the intention of taking the Spaniards in the fort by surprise, were themselves, after a most desperate resistance, captured by the Spanish Admiral, who, with his steamer, and an im mense number of men, succeeded in taking them after a fight of four hours. " It is computed that there were no less than 329 soldiers and sailors engaged in the capture of these brave 50 Americans. " Elated with his success, Admiral Bustillos has tened with his prize to Havannah, where he arrived this morning at 1.30 A.M. "The bloodiest day of the Cuban revolution is fast drawing to its close, and the sun that is now rapidly sicking in the west has seen 50 prisoners —the greater part of them young Americans—shot in cold blood, and their mutilated remains torn and dragged by a sea rege populace, the outpourings of Spain, the mule of Europe. " This morning, about 3 o'clock, the steamer Ha banero arrived with 50 prisoners, of whose capture we have only the official report, as you will find it in the G accta of this morning. At 11 o'clock they were shot at the foot of the Fort Atares, in the presence of an immense assemblage. The list I will:send to you if it is published in time to go by this mail. The saddest portion of the history which I have to relate is the in. EVENING, SEPTEMBER 5, 1851. difference of the :.":merican Consul to their sad fate. This gentl , y , u aware, is Mr. A. F. Owen, late repretemtative from Georgia in Congres,=, and nominated by Mr. Fillmore to replace General Campbell, the late C(insul here. Mr. Owen was called upon by an _American residing here, to tee if he had made any effArt to see those of hip countrymen who were thus inhumanly to ba shot; the Consul took the ground that they had ken circiartql cutiaws by Mr. Filmore, and he sheuld not interfere in the matter. After some conversation, he concluded that he would write to the Captain-General, which be aid, request ing only an interview. At two o'clock he had re ceived no answer." _ _ The following are the names of the leading men engaged in the expedition which landed at Ca banas : _ _ ___ General Narciso Lopez, the leader of the expe dition. Colonel J. Pragay, late of the Hungarian army, form rly Adjutant-General to General filapka, and second in command at Comorn, when that place ca pituleted. He goes second in command to General Lopez. Colonel Crittenden, late of the United States' army, and nephew of the Attorney-General of the United States. He had the immediate command of the Artillery. Colonel Denman, of Georgia, who served through the Mexican war. Colonel Chase. Major J. A. Kelly, who served in the Florida and Mexican wars, and was once a leading Whig editor in Louisiana. Captain W. Scott Haynes. Captain A. J. Dailey. Captain Ellis, late of the Hungarian army. Captain Victor Kerr, late of the Hungarian army. The Pampero is commanded by Captain Lewis, who directed the Creole so successfully in the Carde nas expedition, and who was arrested in this city a short time ago, while in command of the Cleopatra, and held to bail in the sum of 5,000 dolls. The account of the executions at Havaneah is thus given by acorrespondent of the New York Herald : " I am too much affected to write to you more than to say that I have this day been witness to one of the most brutal acts of wanton inhumanity ever perpe trated in the annals of history. Not content, this Government, in avenging themselves in the death of these unfortunate, and perhaps misguided, men, and which it may even be said was brought upon them selves, these Spanish authorities deserve to be most severely chastised for their exceedingly reprehensible conduct in permitting the desecration, as they have done, of the senseless clay of our brave countrymen. This morning " Forty Americans, One Italian, " Four Irish, One Phillippine Islander, " One Scotch, Two Hbaaneros, and " Two Germans, or Hungarians, were shot at eleven o'clock, after which the troops were ordered to retire, and some hundreds of the very vilest rabble and negroes, hired for the purpose, commenced stripping the dead bodies and mutilating their limbs. " I never saw men —and could scarcely have sup posed it possible—conduct themselves at such an awful moment with the fortitude these men displayed under such trying circumstances. They were shot six at a time—i e., twelve were brought to the place of execution, six made to kneel down and receive the fire of the soldiers, after which the remaining six were made to walk round their dead comrades and kneel opposite to them, when they also were shot. After being stripped and their bodies mutilated in the barbarous manner I have described, they were shoved six or seven together, bound as they were, into hearses, which were used last year for cholera cases. No coffins were allowed them; and I think the manner they were put into the hearses was equally as disgusting as their other acts ; the heads of some were almost dragging on the ground, and it had more the appearance of a slaughter-cart on its way to market from the slaughter-house than that of a hearse containing the dead bodies of human beings. " A finer looking set of young men I never saw ; they made not a single complaint, not a murmur against their sentence, and decency should have been shown to their dead bodies, in admiration for the he roism they displayed when brought out for execution. Not a muscle was seen to move, and they proved to the miserable rabble congregated to witness the hor rid spectacle that, it being the fortune of war that they fell into the power of this Government, they were not afraid to die. It would have been a great consolation to these poor fellows, as they repeatedly asked, to see their consul, and through him to have sent their last adieus, and such little mementos as they had, to their beloved relations in the States. One handsome young fellow desired that his watch should be sent to his sweetheart, but Mr. Owen, the American Consul, did not even make application to the Captain-General to see these unfortunate coun trymen in their distress, and their sacred wishes in their last moments have been unattended to." se_ Notwithstanding the reverses sustained by General Lopez, we learn that another expedition was on the point of departing for Cuba. The steam-ship Pam pero, having landed the Lopez detachment, departed for Jacksonville (several hundred miles north of the Key West), there to embark a second expedition under General Gonzales. The Pamper() was expected to reach Cuba by the 19th or 20th of August. The American steam-ship Falcon, while on her way from the coast of Cuba for Chagres, was fired at three times by the Spanish war steamer Habanero, and was obliged to heave-to, and was boarded by the officers of the frigate. The most contradictory accounts relative to the position of Lopez were in circulation. The latest American version is the following, dated Havannah, August 16 : " The greatest anxiety is felt here by the Govern ment, as no news has been received from General Enna of later date than the night before last. The steamer lor, one of the ferry boats, has been sent down to see what the matter is ; and one hour since an engine was sent express to G'uanajay, the western terminus of our railroad, to bring news, either good or bad. Nothing had been heard from the troops that left Pinar del Rio to attack Lopez, and it is feared they have gone over to him. His forces are momen tarily increasing, while the fact of nothing being re ceived here by land leads to the supposition that the country has all turned in his favour. Should Lopsz soon receive reinforcements, with arm 3 to distribute to the crowds that go to him, General Enna must either surrender or retreat by sea. In either case Lopez's march to Havanneh will be uninterrupted. You can imagine the hopes and fears that agitate the city." On the other hand parties favourable to the Spanish cause write from Havannah as follows, dated Aug. 17: "I have just received further intelligence from the operating forces against General Lopez that he had taken the direction of Artemisa, which is ten leagues from Havannah, closely pursued by the Spanish troops and the Country people. I learn that last night a corps was sent by railroad by the Captain-General to that very place, Artemisa, so that Lopez's men must have all been captured, and by this night the scene will be closed on them. The Spanish troops have unquestionably shown extraordinary enthusiasm and bravery, and, what is still more important, the country people manifested the same spirit, and put to death on the spot all the men cf Lopez that fell into their hands." The Spanish account of the execution is thus given : "The troops formed a square. They had on their war uniform—the blusa and straw hat. On the ar rival of the troops (the cavalry and the civic guard) the multitude on foot and on horseback, placed on the heights, on the plain, on the sea, and a great distance upon the edifices of Jesus del Monte and el Cerro, in cessantly cheering the Queen and Spain—eternal idols of that army and of this people so much calum niated by the United States. " Senor Mayor de Plaza read the usual edict, and the criminals appeared by ten at a time, and after being shot were taken away from the place of exe cution to make`room for their companions. The first chief was shot alone, the two second chief were shot together—el in the midst of incessant cries in favour of the Queen and Spain. " Justice being done, the Lieutenant Rey, in a speech to the soldiers and the people, expressed h i m . self in strong and wort h y terms, saying that the punishment inflicted was merited by these men, who, without a God,' without a law, without a flag, came in order to attack oar nationality, our religion, our Queen, and all other objects dear to our hearts. " The vivats to the Queen and to the country were repeated with more energy ; the troops defiled, a n d the people went to the place of execution, where they looked for what the criminals bad left. " Ten funeral cars were waiting to convey to the cemetery the mortal remains of the 50 pirates. Those cars bad been furnished by the funeral agencies, and were ornamented according to the circumstances of the tragedy. " The justice of man is complete. Gad has par cloned the young culprits, who have lost their lives by having trusted their faith to the infamous falsehoods of the New Orleans papers." Great excitement prevailed at New Orleans in re ference to Cuban e ffeirs. There were nightly meet ings held, organizations going forward, drilling, &c., and a strong confidence was expressed in the success of the I.r:overheat. Two or three steamers were spoken of as uheut to leave with troops to assist the insurgents. The New Orleans Commercial of the 13th inst. says -a " Orders, we understand, have been received by the Federal authorities here, from Washington, to en force strictly ,the neutrality laws egainst the Cuban expeditioeists. The cutter Duane, it is said, has lasen ordered from the mouth of the South west Pass up to Fort Jac kson, where sh e will cora -1 mand every vessel going out, and is instructed not to let any pass that have not clearance papers-. 'mere are several young men here now from the Wes'ern States, who have come down the river to embark for Cuba, and rumour has it that negotiations are going on for a eteatn-ship to carry them, or that she has been actually engaged, and is being fi . .ced up." A great rons meeting had been held at New York, at v:Lic'h 18,000 persons were present, to Fyraptilise with the Cuban invaders. Placards were posted about the streets bearing the in , _ , cription, "Tee blood of 50 Americans cries for vengeance." At the meeting the appended resolutions were passed amid tremen dous enthusiasm:— _ _ " That in the opinion of this meeting it is consistent with the peace, neutrality, and honour of our Govern ment for the people to assemble together and express their sentiments upon the subject of Cuban indepen dence; that such an expression, not only comports with the magnanimity and feelings of a free people, but is more particularly honourable to the character of a nation who were the first to declare and establish the principles of freedom. " That our Cuban brethren, iu their late daring detached risings at various points, notwithstanding all the difficulties in their way, their want of arms, the impossibility of concert or effective preparation, and the perpetual presence of the troops of their tyrants to the number of about a bayonet to every five unarmed citizens, have proved themselves not unworthy of the liberty which our example has taught them to long for; and that they have our warmest sympathies and hopes for a triumphant issue to the revolution they have so nobly begun. " That the appeals so frequently made by the down trodden inhabitants of Cuba for aid and assistance in the holy cause in which they are engaged are worthy of being responded to by the American people, whose appeal under similar circumstances was responded to by a Lafayette, a Pulaski, a Kosciusko, a Mont gomery, and other distinguished foreigners, whose assistance in the time of need materially contributed towards making the old 13 colonies what they of right ought to be—free and independent States.' " That while the sovereign despots of the earth claim and exercise the right of sending their artillery and their bayonets to put down Liberty wherever she ventures to show her bead, the sovereign people of America have at least the equal right of going to her support, succour, and comfort; and when thus going by individual action, without public organization or national responsibility, they violate no law, human or divine, but, on the contrary, in resisting tyrants obey God. " That we agree in doctrine with Vattel, the chief authority on the law of nations, that When a people, for good reasons, take up arms against an oppressor, justice and generosity require that brave men should be assisted in defence of their liberty. " That we agree with Daniel Webster, that au thorities of the highest eminence, living and dead, have maintained that the general law of nations does not forbid the citizens or subjects of one nation from taking part in the civil commotions of another,' with his emphatic protest, in his correspondence with a British Minister, against the application of the basely slanderous term pirates ' to such persons ; and fur ther, with the doctrine laid down in his letter of in struction to the United States' Minister in Mexico, in reference to the sending of arms and the departure of armed emigrants to Texas, that neither the con stitution nor the laws of the land, ncr principles known to the usage of modern states, authorise the President of the United States to interdict lawful trade between the United States and Texas, or to prevent, or attempt to prevent, individuals from leaving the United States for Texas or any other foreign country.' " That the firing of the United States steam-ship Falcon, by the steam-ship Habanero, and the un courteous and undignified demeanour of the officers of that vessel towards a United States Government ship, her officers, crew, and passengers are an insult, for which an apology should immediately be de manded by our Government, and in case of satisfac tion not being promptly rendered by the dismissal and disgrace of the parties who committed those deeds, a sense of self-respect dictates that, if necessary, all the naval powers of the country should be directed to wards obtaining atonement for such a wanton attack on a defenceless steamer, and such an unprovoked in sult to the American flag and the American people. "That the massacre of 50 American prisoners, by the Spanish authorities in Cuba, in cold blood, at a single stroke of slaughter, without the sparing of one, or the permission of a last word or memento to their homes, followed up as it was, after their gallant and unflinching death, with the most brutal barbarities practised upon their lifeless remains, was a cruel and cowardly atrocity which awakens from the depths of our hearts a profound sentiment of horror, detestation, and disgust. "That such conduct was possible only to that pirate Government which, while fattening on the infamous profits of the African slave trade, in violation of its most solemn treaties, at the same time threatens to arm the savage hordes, imported by itself, against the Cubans, and to convert Cuba into a St. Domingo rather than see a revolution by its oppressed people consecrate its matchless soil to liberty, independence, and progress. " That the conduct of Mr. A. F. Owen, the Ame rican Consul at Havannah, was dastardly and heart less in the extreme and unworthy of the American character, and that it meets the just indignation of the whole country and that of the civilised world. "That it is the duty of the American Government to recal Mr. Owen from the office which be has proved himself so unworthy of holding, and which he has so shamefully disgraced, and that his place be at once filled by a more suitable representative of the American character and the American people. " That contributions in money are hereby solicited to advance Cuban independence, and that a suitable committee be appointed by the president of this meeting to act as treasurers to receive and distribute the same, in such manner as to them shall seem best, for the promotion of the cause in which we have this day heartily enlisted." COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) COWES, SEPT. 4.—We mentioned, on Saturday last, that the celebrated clipper yacht America had been purchased by the Hon. Mr. De Blaquire, for 5,000/. She was delivered up to him on Tuesday, the American colours hauled down, and the English ensign hoisted. She has since been measured by Mr. Cuthbertson, tidowaiter at this port; her tonnage proves to be 204 tons. She was, therefore, double the size of the Titania. This is no small credit to the little Iron Pot, as they called her. She ran the Yankee well; and if the clipper had not been fortu nate and caught a slant of wind, there would not have been half the difference between them on their coming in. Laid Fitzhardinge intends having his yacht length ened eight feet by the bows, by Ratsey. ROYAL YACHT ►SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS. Sept. I.—Lotus schooner, Viscount Clifton, from eastward.

SPORTING NOTES. CXX. NOTES AND NOTIONS ON 'HIE GREAT ST. LEGER. " Now, if y(,u look but closely, you will and I have the seeds (!f judgmcnt iu lily mind: The running gives at least a glimmering light; The lines, though trac.cd but roughtly, are drawn right." PopE (slightly altered). FRIDAY TO THE EDITOR OF TEE SUN. SlR,—Notwithstalaling the position of the first fa vourites in the odds being only 2 and 4 to 1, with Aphrodite close upon their heels at 7 to 1, the public generally feel inclined to leek upon this St. Leger as the darkest we have had since The Baron's year (1845), and if the strength of the field, which at the present moment, it is pre,unsed, will number from fifteen to twenty, is any criterion to judge by, without doubt it is so. The qualities of two or three of the pro bable starters, such as Clasher, Lough Bawn, and First Fruits are altogether dark to seven-eighths of that vast community, denominated the sporting world; and with regard to several others whose private trials and public performances have not tamed in the slightest degree with each other, making them almost, if not quite, as dark to the public as those that have not yet made their debuts, it is very clear from this that of V 620,41 have some foundation for the dark opinion before-men tioned, and that, consequently, great care must be exer cised in deciding cn their merits. The Doncaster St. Leger is now in its seventy-fourth year; some people would say its seventy-sixth, but that is not the case, for although a sweepstakes on exactly the same conditions as that which was afterwards named The St. Leger was won by Lord Rockingham's br f by Samp son, in 1776, and in 1777, by Mr. Sother ton's Bourbon, yet the first St. Leger, so called at the time, was not run until 1778, when it was won by Sir Thomas Gascoigne's Hollandaise. Like many other affairs on the face of this sublunary ball, this great race was christened at a convivial meeting of the sporting bloods of that day, under the influence of the grape, and in compliment to a very celebrated character then present—Colonel St. Leger. The conditions have been repeatedly altered; in 1778 it was a sweepstakes of 25 guineas each; colts Bst, and fillies ist 121 b; two miles. In 1790, same distance, colts Bst 121 b, and fillies Bst. In 1825, a sweepstakes of 25 sovereigns each. In 1826, colts Bst 61b, fillies Bst 31b; St. Leger course. In 1832, a sweepstakes of 50 sovereigns each, h ft. In 1835, the owner of the second horse received 100 sovs. out of the stakes. In 1839, the weights were finally settled at—colts, Bst 71h; fillies, Set 21b. In 1843, the owner of the second horse received 200 soya. out of the stakes, and the third saved his stake. The winner paid 30 soya. to the judge. In 1844, the winner paid 100 sovs. towards expenses. In 1846, the owner of the se cond horse received 300 soya. out of the stakes, and the third 100 soya. In 1850, the winner paid 25 sovs. to the judge. In the present year it is once more to be a sweepstakes of 25 sovs. each; the owner of the second horse to receive 100 soya. out of the stakes. The winner to pay 100 soya. towards expenses, 25 soya. to the judge, and 25 soya. to the starter. The new plan of 25 soya. each, pp, it is obvious must be Letter than the old one of 50 soya, each, half forfeit; it will, I am convinced, result in enlarged fields, instead of the eight, nine, or ten starters that have generally mustered at the post of late years. During the seven years that I have wielded the prophetic pen I have had tolerable success on the first great race of the year—the Derby ; but on the second—the Great St. Leger, have been favoured with much greater success, and in three instances out of six was successful enough to place the first and second. The following is my summing up each year :- 1845 hintua (third). 1846 lago (second). 1847 Van Tromp Cossack ... 1848 Surplice . Canes iu 1849 ... The Flying Dutchman 1 Nuanykirk ... 2 1850 ... Voltigeur. If my antecedents are any indication of what I may do in this essay, my present peep behind the curtain of futurity will be a successful one. Among the horses that have at various times made some stir in the list portion of tho betting market for various races, and who ate entered for the St. Leger, the following will ba non cat on the forthcoming Occasion, viz.: The Saxon, The Tout, Badajoz, Hools'em Snivvy, Sister to \Veneta, Glenhawk, Olean der, The Cutler, Vivandtere, Jack Leming, Jugger naut, Pandernue, Phlegethon, I?blegra, Deceitful, Bal samo, Ipsus, Confidence, 800, Primitious, Brother to Chanticleer, Croupier, and Lightfoot. From the remain naaining ninety-seven I shall subtract the following ' batch as forming the lot from which the starters must be selected, which batch consists of Lough BUM, Clasher, Heart Breaker, Comas, Hippolytus, Midas, Bonnie Dundee,* Grosvenor, Exeter, The Prime Minister, The Confessor,* The Ban, Aphrodite, Ho thorpe, Grecian, Hernandez, First Fruits, Constellation, Newminster, Sir Rowland Trenchard, Mountain Deer,* The CaktiNitor, liam;.•.,r tine, Miserrima,* S:orno,*Fsnook Knoll, Glsoiab Singh, Azsth, and Ephesus. These having an asterisk piefixed to their names are the most dubious as to starting. The market this morn ing exhibits the following as the prices of the St. Leger candidata; :—Hernandez, 5 to 2; The Ban, 4 to 1; Aphrodite, 7 to 1; Hothorpe, 12 to 1; Newminster, 12 to 1; Lainartine, 15 to 1; The Primo Minister, 15 to 1; Grecian, 20 to I; Ephesus, 25 to 1; First Fruits, 25 to 1; Exeter, 33 to 1; Clasher, 33 to 1; 50 to 100 to 1 against auy other. My information on one or two points not being complete at the present moment, I shall defer the analyzation of the chances of the candidates for the Great St. Leger of 18M until to-morrow, when the name or names of the horse or horses destined to play the most important part or parts in the quadrupedal drama at Doncaster the week after next shall be, at least I hope so, duly announced. ... ... 1 I am, Sir, yours, THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

DERBY, 1852. to 1 apt Hobby Nobble 12000 to 60 &gst Treasurer NAVAL INTELLIGENCE; Captain Thomas Ferris, whose promotion from commander (1815) to the reserved half-pay list of captains, we announced on Wednesday, has served 17 years on full pay. He entered the navy February 20, 1801, as a boy on board the Edgar, 74, Captain Edward Buller, with whom and Captain James Wallis, he afterwards served in the Achille, 74, on the Channel and Irish stations, latterly as midship man, until May, 1802. From the following Sep tember until promoted to the rank of lieutenant, October 19, 1807, we find him employed under Sir Richard John Strachan in the Donegal and Renown, 74's, and the Caesar, 80. He assisted during that period in the Donegal's capture in 1804, of the Spa nish 44. gun frigate Amfitrite, and a ship it cargo on b o ard worth 200,000/.,present,wh a in and was the Cmsar, at the capture, November 4, 1805, of the four line-of-battle ships escaped from Trafalgar, as also at the destruction, September 14, 1806, off Cape Henry, of the 74 gun ship Impetueux. Re joining, March 8, 1808, the Donegal, then com manded by Captain Pulteney Malcolm, Mr. Ferris escorted, in the following summer, Sir Arthur Wel lesley's army from Cork to Portugal ; was present at the destruction, February 24, 1809, of three French frigates under the batteries of Sable d'Olonne ; wit nessed the ensuing discomfiture of the French ship ping in Aix Roads ; and assisted in an attack made by Captain Charles Grant, of the Diana, on the two French frigates Amazone and Eliza, protected by the fire of several strong batteries, near Cherbourg, November 15, 1810. After a further servitude of a few months with Captain Malcolm in the Royal Oak, 74, he was appointed, March 3, 1812, to the Hannibal, 74, Captain Sir Michael Seymour ; and while in that ship he contributed to the capture, March 26, 1814, of La Sultane, of 44 guns and 330 men. On leaving the Hannibal he became first lieutenant, Sept. 5, 1814, of the Tennis, 38, Captain Joseph James, in which frigate he served on the Irish and Jamaica stations until his return home in March, 1816. lie then took up his commission as commander, having been advanced to that rank on the 20th of September, 1815. With the exception of an appointment in the coast guard, which he held from July 6, 1830, until the year 1833, he has since been on half-pay. Lieut. Henry Watson Hall's name having been placed by mistake on the reserved half-pay list, will now be transposed back to the active list of Lieute nant, R.N. GALLANT RESCUE.--" H.M.B. Rolla, Sept. 2. As the above-named vessel was passing through the Straits of Dover, on Tuesday, the 26th ult., having a five-knot breeze, with studding sails claw and aloft, George Thorn, naval apprentice, fell overboard by ac cident, and would certainly have perished, he being unable to swim, had it not been for the gallant and courageous conduct of Charles Lorton, sailmaker, who at the imminent risk of his life (being dressed in heavy woollen clothes), jumped overboard, and suc ceeded in supporting the boy till both were picked up by the ship's boat. The young man was some time in ' the water with the boy on his back, and when picked up was exhausted, and unable to attend his duty for several days."—Portsznouth Guardian. [lt is to he hoped that all the naval apprentices will be speedily taught to swim. They have en excellent instructor at Portsmouth in William Morgan, a naval appren tice, who has obtained a silver medal for his profi ciency in the useful and necessary, but much-neg lected art of swimming.] Buzzard, oteam-sloop, at Davenport, was taken out round the Eddystone on Wednesday to exercise her machinery. Defence, old 72, stationary convict in Portsmouth Harbour, has been cleared of her convicts, brought alongside the yard jetty, and is being jury-rigged, for the purpose of being sent to Woolwich. None of her fittings have been disturbed, as she will be still used as a convict-ship. Trafalgar, 120, Captain Greville, and Use Oberon, steam-packet, in charge of Lieut. Veitch, were at Gibraltar, from Portsmouth, on the 25th ult., and were to leave for Malta on the 27th. The Trafalgar will proceed to join Sir William Parker. has been taken into dock at Vesuvius,Devonpor t f s o t r ea t m liep slp u o r o pOse of expediting her fittings. DLVONFORT DOCKYARD.—A survey was held on Tuesday at the superintendent's office on the arti ficers above sixty-five years of age, a large superan nuation being about to take place in the dockyard. It was stated that Captain Lord Edward Russell, of the Vengeancc, 84, had lost 1401. in bank -notes on Wednesday I:.st on his return from London, but as he stopped for some considerable time at Brighton, he was unable to decide whether the money was stolen at London, Brighton, or Portsmouth. We are authorised to state that on his Lordship's arrival in Portsmouth the notes and bills were quite safe, there fore, there is no difficulty in deciding that, if stolen, the robbery must have been committed here.—Ports mouth Guardian. Captain William Henry Anderson Morshead, C.B. (1842), who has been appointed to command the Dido, 18, Chatham, entered the navy in 1823, passed his examination in 1830, and was promoted in 1832. His succeeding appointments were to St. Vincent, 120 ; Malhbar, 74 ; Talavera, 74 ; and Edinburgh, 74 ; September 28, 1837, as senior to the Favourite, 18, Captain Walter Croker, whom he accompanied to the East Indies ; and June 1, 1838, in a similar capa city, to the Hyacinth, 18, Captain William Warren. On Mareli.l3 and 14, 1831, he commanded the boats of the latter vessel at the capture of the last fort protecting the approaches to Canton, and also of the citY ; itself.- During the second series of operations against it he was slightly woun d e d, and gained the public mention of Sir Fleming Senhouse. Being rewarded with the rank of commander June 8,1841, and.appointed , l6th of October following to the Co lumbine, 16, he further distinguished himself by the manner in which he destroyed a large number of fire junks intended for the destruction of shipping in the neighbourhood of Ningpo, March 10, 1842. In the course of the lame year he participated in the attacks upon Claim and Woosung, and in the operations on the Yang-tse-Kiang. For these services he was re compensed with a post commission dated December 23, 1842, and the next day with the companion s hi p of the Bath. He paid the Columbine off in the early part of 1843, and has not been since employed. Commander Lord William Compton (1842), who has been appointed to command the Modeste, 14, Sheerne ss, is second son of the M arqu i s of Northamp ton. He entered the navy June, 1831, passed his ex amination in 1837 ; was promoted to the rank of lieu tenant December 16, 1839; joined a few days after wards the Melville, 72, flag-ship, a t t h e Cape of Good Hope, and then in the East Indies, of Hon. George Elliott; and, on the 13th of Fe bruary, 1841, was Wellesley,tip er. T 72 , he Commodore p j o o i h n n t e G d Gordon Bremer. B reua great exertionsodore Sir am of fh e is s Lordship when in command, jointly with Acting- Lieutenants Ge o r ge Campbell Fowler and John Astle, of the barge and two cutters belonging to the Wellesley, had the effect on the evening of May 24 following, of pr eserv i ng that ship, then in the Boca from a most formidable and well-planned attempt made on th e Part of the Chinese to destroy her by means of a fl o till a o f ne arly 20 fire vessels, the whole of which, although in many instances chained in couples, and some even three together, were towed clear without doing the slightest injury. On Oct. 10 further commanded the Wellcsley's boats at the reduction of Chinghae. He married, August 21, 1844, Elizabeth, daughter of Rear-Admiral Hon. George Elliott, C.B.—Herald. PonvmouTu.
