Electricity Sho'ck Direct and Indirect.—ln order to certify the reader as to the double source of danger in a thunder-storm,—which is, in fact, an electric discharge between clouds oppositely electred, accompanied with the usual phenomena of flash and sound, only operated on a grand and terrific scale,—we shall premise that all bodies are possessed of electricity, and that the spark and noise are not the solitary indications of a disturbance of that fluid in a body, or of its restoration to its equili - The shock felt kr any body, animate or electrical condition has been dis turbed and recomposed, is generally considered to be the direct effect of restoring the balance between positive (vitreous of French philosophers) and negative (resinous of French) electric states : but it may be also caused in a manner indirect and circuitously, in technical words by induction. when i - In order to show hew this occurs, we shall translate a e hint?— passage from a first-rate work on physic, embracing epale, int." electricity, in French, by M. Pouillet, wherein the author details an experiment quite conclusive on the point, and which illustrates the principles by a practical example, and can be repeated by any one who chooses so to do at rW. Nott is to their leisure. M. Pouillet, speaking• of bodics electrified by induc tion, returning to their original state as soon as the influence ceases, remarks that this may occur in two ways, instan taneously or gradually : in either case the recomposition of the two electric fluids takes place correspondingly. " In these phenomena," M. Pouillet proceeds, "neither one nor other of the fluids issues from the mass which receives the electric influence, but they both experience a change of place throughout the extent of the mass, as well when they separate as when they reunite ; and these rapid electrical motions produce in the ponderable particles of matter very remarkable mechanical disturb ances or chemical effects. For example, a frog, prepared and arranged as shown in the adjoining figure,f appears to experience no effect when the machine is turned slowly, which charges the conductor with vitreous (positive) electricity; neverthe less its natural electricity is disturbed by induction, the resinous (n gative) is excited in that part of the frog corresponding to the conduct , r (head), whilst the vitreous (positive) is repelled into the ground by the wire ; and, a. spark is drawn from the conductor, the sudden recompcsition of presses upon its whole body e electricities in the frog im sort of convulsion, which makes it leap a; if it sprung up by a voluntary motion ; sty iking proof, that, in the return to the natural state, the particles of bodies are thrown into agitation by the elec- trical fluids in their effort to re-unitel A disturbance of this kind is called the return shock. The experiment would not be attended with success upon a frog after it has been dead five or six hours ; but it would succeed very well with a frog just decapitated and skinned, and better still with a living frog just out of the water. In connexion with a powerful machine, a man who is in communication with the ground: undergoes similar Phis may be tried with a conductor - on a grand scale : two persons placed at the two extremities of this conductor do not experience sensible effects whilst the charge is made ; but if one of them approaches sufficiently near the conductor to draw sparks, the other experiences, at the moment, all the violence of the return shock, is without the appearance of a ny trace of elect r i c ity or li g ht impurities, I between him and the conductor the heats of In studying the effects of thunder, we shall see that a storm cloud may act in an analogous manner, and strike at one and the same time, by the direct and by the return The interruption to the transmission of electricity from the earth and bodies on its surface, to the clouds, when the latter fly high, and the air itself is dry and in sulating, i.e. non-conducting, along with other favoura ble meteorological conditions, as to temperature pres sure, &c. ; is supposed to account for that buoyant ex altation of the common feeling, called by the Germans gemeingefiikl: the opposite atmospheric conditions, of course then, will account for the opposite feelings of languor and depression, by the loss of electricity our bo- ies sustain (using a common term) through the im- proved conducting media of moist water air, near clouds, &c.: this state of depressed animal energy is subject of notoriety --not only amongst ourselves as human beings, but also among all classes of the animal creation. In some nervous temperaments, z. e. where irritability and sensibility of the tody are not counterpoised by the equal developments of the muscular and circulating systems, the sensations during a thunder storm are exquisitely distressing, quite apart from the moral condition such as alarm—those whose legs have been fractured or hurt it may be years ago —who may have old gun-shot wounds, &c., find these places, become painful ; all this may be owing to electrical changes in ourselves andbodies around: the strength of body aiid animal spirits return after the thunder has " cleared the air," as people say—or as we should rather say, after the air has cleared itself of the thunder cloud, which return shows the depression to have been independent of muscular exertion.

Instructions to Bathers.—" With respect to the man ner of hath:ng, the most important point is to moderate the shock to the nervous and the delicate. This, as a general rule, is best done by a sudden immersion of the whole body. The uneasy feelings are much augmented by the practice, adopted by the timid, of gradually per mitting the water to ascend higher and higher until the whole body is immersed. A little fortitude is necessary to take the first plunge, but after this little or no incon venience is g nerally felt by repeating it. The time best adapted for bathing demands also a passing com ment. By common consent, early in the morning, before breakfast, is preferred ; and it is considered to be impro per whilst digestion is going on, or at least doting the lrlv stages. Th rocess of d • p digestion occasions a con centration of the vital activity on the stomach, and this is morbidly modified by any cause that acts powerfully on the nervous system, or interferes with the general vascular and nervous action, as bathing certainly does. But although before breakfast is the best, it is not the only time for bathing. Under similar circumstances it may be advantageously had recourse to whenever diges tion is completed, or considerably advanced. The best general rules for guidance, as to the use of the cold bath especially, when performed at seasonable times, are not to employ it when the individual is cool or chilly, or when the heat is undergoing resolution by the establishment of perspiration, which is a cooling process."—Dr. Dung linson's Elements of Hygiene. Philadelphia, 1835. (P. 417.) ' Let even a coward, at entering the water, but believe the fact, that " the human body, in an ordinary healthy state, with the chest full of air, is lighter than water;" and, as Dr. Aruott justly observes, " it would lead to the saving of more lives, zn cases of shipwreck and in other accidents, than all the mechanical life preservers which man's ingenuity will ever contrive." By I;iding in a full inspiration the body " naturally floats, with a bulk of about half the head above the water, having no more tendency to sink than a log of fir. That the person may live and breathe, then, it is only neces sary to exert volition, so as to render the face the part which remains uppermost."—Vol. I. EL. Phys. p. 290. We condense these remarks which we would f;in en large upon fully, into the three following golden cautions. If you are no swimmer, and are in danger of drowning, as you think, under any circumstances—you are safe, if you mind to Float on your back immediately. Keep your chest full of air-land keep your hands in the water. Do not plunge or struggle. Thus your face will be always out of the water, and you can breathe as ordinary. Never let your mind get flurried, for you are safe if you are collected, and doing the easiest thing in the world—floating, as we say. A Hint for those who can swim about saving those who cannot swim from drowning.—A swimmer who may at tempt to save the life of a person floating in the water, by bringing him to shore, must avoid getting within such struggling person's reach, or he will in all proba bility lose his own life in the attempt rashly to save that of another. Let him remember, then, to avoid the death-grasp, as it is called, of the drowning; for it can seldom be quitted when once fastened, and both go down inevitably ! The way is, to swim round till their plung ing slackens, and they rise to the surface of the water generally for the last time, when you must go behind * Elements de Physique et de Meteorologie. 3rd Edit.

(P. 398.) kfter perusing the following remarks, mmon observer of a landscape stretched out be n to something more like the pleasure dates the beautiful por- Scenic Effects with which an artist contem traiture of light and shade " The student of painting soon learns that the lines called outlines, by which he first sketches subjects, do not exist at all in nature, and have to be again effaced in his finished work : for they only mark the place where lights and shades happen to meet. Much may be con veyed to the mind, however, by a mere outline, and par ticularly if lines of different breadth or thickness are used to mark the situation of the lighter and deeper shadows. " The subject of chiaro-oscuro is not so simple as, from the fact of the sun being the great source of light, might at first be supposed ; for although this be true, still every body which reflects the sun's light becomes a 'bout it, and the shading of a pic ture must have reference to all such sources, and to the colours of the body itself, and of the neighbouring bodies. " In looking at an extended landscape, it is seen that the near objects considered as wholes are comparatively bright, that their shadows are strongly marked, and that their peculiar colours are everywhere easily distinguish able—as of flowers, fruit, foliage, &c., but farther off the colours become dim, the lights and shadows melt into each other or are confused, and the illumination altoge ther becomes so faint that the eye at last sees only an extent of distant blue mountain or plain—appearing blueish because the transparent air through which the light must pass has a blue tinge, and because the quan tity of light arriving through the great extent of air is insufficient to exhibit the detail. The ridge called Blue Mountains in Australia, and another of the same name in America, and many others elsewhere, are not really blue, for they possess all the diversity of scenery which the finest climates can give ; but to the discoverer's eye, bent on them from a distance, they all at first appeared blue, and they have ever since retained the name. " In a picture by an artist, who on his canvas stretched on a frame disposes the lights, shades, and co lours in the very situati ons an d w ith the intensities which, on coming from the landscape to the eyes througb a plate of glass filling up the frame, they would have had, all that we have now been saying is strictly exem plified. In the foreground the objects are large and bright, but as the scene is supposed to be gradually more remote, the size and brightness of the objects correspond ingly diminish, until at last there is only a dim mixture new source to thos, them— never before them; seize either the back of the neck, or even a lock of the back hair, particularly if long hair, will be quite sufficient to hold them, and to urge them before you to shore—holding them by one hand, and swimming with the other. (Parties should practist swimming with either hand alone, and they will be more fitted, having tested their own resources this way, to rely upon their ability for any attempt to rescue others.) Sometimes the foot can be readiest seized : this will do, though not so well. Always keep clear of their arms and hands, with one exception perhaps—the back of their arm, or grasping the shoulders round and under the arm pit from behind. They must be made your prisoner in one of these ways, which are the chief, or else you may be made, however unintentionally, theirs, which, as we have said, is fatal to both ; the reverse being a happy success in your object. Alas ! h w many noble endeavours, on the part even of good swimmers, are worse than thrown away, by not attending to this—how often does there result a double loss of life, deepening into horror the earlier part of the catastrophe—as our newspaper records show almost day by day. A per son had better not jump in to help, under the prompt ings of a noble anxiety, unless he can with presence of mind put these precautions into practice. If in his praise worthy efforts to save the struggler, or the lifeless body, from a " watery grave," he finds his own strength fail ing, and the hope he bravely cherished impossible to realise, then he must consign his prisoner to his fate, and save his own life, however distressing to desert a drowning fellow-creature. This duty to himself he cannot discharge if he have allowed himself to become im prisoned in the drowning man's death-grasp : for though magnaniminis courage may call him to make an attempt at rescuing a fellow-creature from fatal danger, and none would keep this in more distinct view than the writer, as a moral obligation ; yet it is no less true that an attempt so to do without the probability of accomplishing it through adequate and properly-directed means, is, however amia ble a trait of enthusiastic feeling for another's jeopardy, condemned as rash by prudence, as an infringement of or ganic and inorganic laws, amounting to a temptation of Providence, though in the loveliest garb rash profligacy of your own existence can be found to wear ! Yet it is a mistaken building of a tower without having counted the cost,' the prosecution of which can only be left off by doing as we have said, ere the weight of its falling mass and scaffold crushes such builder under its destruc tive ruins. Coolness is never more emphatically the handmaiden of courage than here ; and let us engrave these rules by another word begin ning with the letter C, that is—Caution ; like the Irish man taking prisoners— be always surrounding them— (a push now :nd then will be all needed often). Courage to attempt their rescue ; coolness to apply knowledge ; caution to crown with success a heroism well begun. If but one life more were rescued through our suggestions, this book may be, " like bread cast upon the waters," found after many days—many years it may be—useful for once, and the author will be immeasurably repaid. " What is a man, If his chief good, and market of his time, Be but to sleep, and feed ; a beast. no more. Sure, He that made us with such large discourse Looking before, and after, gave us not That capability, and vdlike reason, To fust in us, unused." SHAIESPEARE " Idleness is the badge of gentry, the bane of body and mind, the nurse of naughtiness, the stepmother of discipline, the chief author of all mischief, one of the seven deadly sins, the cushion upon which the devil chiefly reposes, and a great cause not only of melancholy, but of many other diseases ; for the mind is na turally active, and if it be not occupied about some honest bu siness, it rushes into mischief. or sinks into melancholy ."

The Fundamental Principles of Modern Judaism laves. tigated. By Moses Margolbuth, of Trinity College, Dublin. Wertheim, Loudon; Perris and Newling, Liverpool. This is intrinsically an important work ; but at the pre sent period of the history of our church and nation, when the interest and prospects of the House of Israel are at tracting so much attention, it is peculiarly valuable. The object of it is to bring before the Christian world the pre sent state of religion amongst the Jews, as contrasted with that observed by their forefathers, and instituted by Mosbs, at the express command of the Almighty ; and it is demonstrated here, by numerous authentic documents, and, to our minds, irrefragable arguments, that the two are as much at variance as light with darkness. It might naturally be expected, from the professed reverence, even at the present day, of the Jewish people for " the law and the prophets," that the observances enjoined therein would be scrupulously attended to; but we find, on the contrary, from the volume before us, that such an expec tation cannot be realized, and that the " commandments of men" are substituted, by the Rabbinical teachers, for the doctrines of scripture. The reliances of modern Jews for mercy and acceptance with God are delineated by Mr. Margoliouth with praiseworthy tenderness, and, no doubt, with the strictest fidelity, and to us, who understand the foundation on which their fathers built their hopes, the present sad degradation of the nation cannot but excite feelings of wonder and sorrow. Mr. Margoliouth has exhibited considerable research in the prosecution of his subject, and has collected an extraordinary array of facts, which, as far as our experience extends, is for the first time presented to the public in such a popular form. Introductory to the volume is a preface, by the Rev. Chancellor Raikes, and following which is a brief memoir of the author. A number of engravings, illustrative of many parts of the subject, are also interspersed. No doubt the work will receive from the Christian public the attention it deserves, and we shall take an opportunity of extracting from its pages, not only to show the style of the author, but to bring before our readers several impor. tant particulars connected with this interesting people, with which we are convinced they are not at present ac. quainted. Popular Tales and Legends. Burns, London. The best selection of the legends which delighted our youth, interspersed with some which are of later date, or have not hitherto come under our observation, is contained in the beautiful little volume before us, for which parents anxious to place in the bands of their children amusement, from which all that is unfit to be submitted to youthful minds has been carefully weeded, ought to thank the spi.. rited publisher. As a present to the young this volume is most appropriate. It contains a fund of entertainment, and little from which a moral may not be drawn. None are so fond of secrets as those who do not intend to keep them ; such persons covet secrets as a spend. thrift covets money for the'purpose of circulation. SELECTIONS A FACT.—Brickmakers have become quite scarce; as not a labourer can be found, since the growth of tempe rance, who will undertake to wet his cloy!—Punch. THE AFFGHANS PROVED TO BE JEWS.—Sir William Jones, in his " Discourses," says—" There is very solid ground fin• believing tt.at the Affghans descended from the Jews, because they sometimes, in confidence, avow that unpopular origin, which, in general, they sedulously con ceal, and which other Al ussulmans positively assert—be cause Hazaret, which appears to be the Azareth of Esdras, is one of their territories; ,nd, principally, because their language is evidently a dialect of the scriptural Chaldaic." Recent occurrences would rather tend to confirm than to confute this conjecture. The treachery, the disunion, and the eagerness for spoil of the modern Affhans, are not without their close parallels among the ancient He brews. The gates of Gaza, cat vied off by the might of Sampson, have their counterpart in the celebrated gates of Somnauth. The Mahomedan Jews of Cabool sold their prisoners fora heavy ransom ; and, like their Hebrew brethren of the present day, they have evinced a decided predilection for our old clothes.—Colbura's Rides in an Author's Omnibus. KING O'CONNELL'S INTENDED HOUSEHOLD.—Sup posing (says Punch) the present agitation i❑ Ireland to end in a repeal of tote Union, and that O'Connell should be proclaimed King, by the title of Daniel the First, it would be a matter ot speculation to consider how he would form his household. We should imagine the following list of officers to be as accurate as possible : COMPTROLLER OF THE RENT. BRAZEN FACE IN ORDINARY. WOODEN SHILLELAGH IN WAITING. HEREDITARY GRAND MENDICANT. SOLICITOR GENERAL OF SUBSCRIPTIONS GROOM OF THE GRAB. KEEPER OF THE PRIVY PURSE AND HOLDER OF THE HAT. STEWARD OF THE TAIL. CLERK OF THE KITCHEN. SCAMPS OF THE SCULLERY. LORDS OF THE WASH-HOUSE. HEREDITARY HIGH HUMBUG. THE CONFESSION OF A TRUE CHURCHMAN AT THE PRESENT JUNCTURE.—" I am of no sect, but the sect of the Nazarenes;' of no party, but the party of the Church in England, which I hold to be Catholic, as maintaining all Christian truth, held by all, at all times, and in all places; and Protestant, as protesting against certain corrupt and dangerous novelties, both in doctrine and practice, maintained by that branch of the church which holds communion with Rome. In neces sary points—viz., the articles of the creed, &c.—l am bound by the constant belief of the Church Catholic, as developed and expressed in our own thirty-nine articles. In dubious points—viz., all subordinate verities, or points of pious opinion contained in the said articles—l am bound in my own sense, with a modest deference to the received interpretation and usage of my own branch of the church. In all points I strive to cultivate charity—thinking the best, and hoping the best, of all who profess and call themselves Christians, and who shew, by the meekness of their tempers, and the holiness of their lives, that they have the spirit of Christ. And I do, from the bottom of my heart, deprecate the disposition to sow and foster dis sention in this particular church, by setting up new tests of doctrine, and affixing party names and distinctions; whether with the intention, or as tending to the effect, of driving members out of her communion to Rome, on one hand, or to Geneva on the other. To sum up all in one word—my motto is, in necessariis unitas—in dubiis liber las—in omnibus caritas."—Church Intellipencer. HINTS ON HEALTH.—" A man," says Sir William Temple, " has but these four things to choose out of—to exercise daily, to be very temperate. to take physic, or to be sick." We may venture to assert, with a much later writer, that the principal secrets of health are early rising, exercise, personal cleanliness, and leaving the table unop pressed.—When a family rises early in the mlirning, con clude the house to be well governed, and the inmates in. dustrious and healthy.—With respect to exercise, there is a simple and benevolent law of nature—" Earn that you may enjoy." In other words, secure a good digestion, by exercise.—As much, perhaps, may be said concerning ab lution, as exerciee. " Dispel the ill humors from the pores." Cleanliness is a virtue, though not the first in rank, one of the first, at least, in necessity.—On the sub ject of temperance, that sturdy moralist, Johnson, speak ing of a book in which it was recommended, observed, " Such a book should come out every 30 years, dressed in the mode of the times." " He that would eat much," says the proverb, " must eat little." Let us not, how ever, confound temperance with starvation—on the con trary, it is strictly moderation. We may be intemperately abstemious, as well as intemperately luxurious. From all that has been said and written on the subject—from the experience of every aze and every clime, we may conclude, that they are the most healthy, who have nature for their cook—hunger for their caterer : who have no doctor but the sun and fresh air—and no other physic than tem perance and exercise." THE SINGING MOUSE.—This heading, strange as it ap pears, is not a fiction, as the incredulous may ascertain to their complete satisfaction by a visit. We give the fol lowing account, furnished us by an intelligent corres pondent :—I have much pleasure in endeavouring to give you some account of a musical phenomenon which I have just beheld and heard. I will do so in as lucid a manner as lam able. This wonder is in the shape of a " singing mouse!" Let it not raise the smile of incredulity, for sing it does in verity. The little creature is the common house mouse, of the masculine gender. When I heard him ha myna in fnll anng—h.,..;n, .11 tho grown canary. The imitation in the sostenuto passages and cadences of that bird was perfect. I feel assured that no deception was practised, for by the aid of a pow erful glass, which I purposely borrowed, 1 could observe the tremulousness of the throat ; and I asked the proprie tor to retire from the room for a moment, which he did, in order that I might convince myself that 1 was not being made the dupe of ventriloquism. I then placed my ear close to him, and the effect was still the same. No human being could make his piano passages. One circumstance places this beyond doubt. For sometimes parties have to wait a considerable time before he will pipe. An instance of this kind happened recently at the Palace, where he was taken for the little Prince of Wales and the Princess to hear him. But I was informed that he fully made up for this silence by afterwards singing more lustily than he ever did before. He requires to be attentively observed, and by so doing you catch his variety. When quite still his notes are surpassingly dis tinct, and have all that peculiarity of the notes of the canary when he is singing himself to sleep. While he was in motion, I tried the effect of sound upon him by vil•rating a tuning-fork upon the table. This, although repeated several times, neither deterred him from singing, nor in the slightest degree alarmed him. If 1 may hazard a conjecture, his pitch is more than an octave above that of the bird he imitates. It is very difficult to guess how this faculty got into him ; for supposing that he listened to the canary from his hiding-place, the larynx is not formed for such a purpose. However. I must leave the matter to physiologists and modern Danes Barringtons, simply contenting myself with silent wonder, now and then exclaiming " prodigious l"—Globe. " MAKING A H OUSE."—TO a person unacquainted with the technicalities of these things, the " making a House" is a riddle. Some people suppose that the whole 658 members post down at four o'clock, in order to dis charge their duty to their constituents, regardless of all the other attractions to pleasure which their wealth and leisure afford them. Not so, however, in fact. On the contrary, there is often the greatest difficulty in getting together the number ( 10) that are necessary in order to make a 1 - IJuse. Indeed there are particular members of the Government and Opposition whose especial duty it is to collect the members on particular occasions, and bring them up to their duty. The-e gentlemen are called " whippers-in," and a most unruly pack it sometimes is that they have to keep in order. The present whippers-in for the Government are Sir Thomas Freemantle and Mr. Manners Sutton. The former is a most remarkable spe cimen of ,the genus. Small in stature, quick in motion, and keen in perception, he seems cut out by nature for the task. He appears deeply sensible of it.; importance. Possibly he reasons thus :—The public business cannot go on without a House of Commons; the House of Com mons cannot go on without forty members; the duty of providing these forty members rests with me ; eryo, it depends on me whether the business of this great empire shall be carried on or not., In accordance with this esti mate of his important functions, Sir Thomas is to be seen, early and late, watching his flock—now viewing them as a whole from one of the galleries—now peeping from be hind a pillar, cat-like, lest they should get away unper ceived. If a young and pleasure-loving member, one of the white waistcoat school, should exhibit a restlessness in his seat, syrotomatic of opera or soisee dasante, this " whipper-in" par excellence is down upon him in an in stant, reminding him that the government counted on his presence in keeping the house together. And so the poor young man is kept for another weary hour from his lady love, until some heavy country member returns from his dinner and claret, who fills up the space which he has oc cupied, and so sets him at liberty. It would be scarcely too much to affirm that the whippers-in know every mem ber's favourite haunt, so that he can be " whipped-up" at a quarter of an hour's notice, should a premature division be threatened. It is then, indeed, that Sir Thomas Fre mantle is seen in his absolute glory. With the eye of a general he can reckon the number of his troops at a glance. If they are enough, well and good : the satisfied secretary takes his seat by the premier, thinking, " Come what may, we, at least, are prepared for the worst." But, should it be otherwise, then is he to be seen in full blown activity, with a forty-ferret frown of vision, skipping about the house, up the stairs, down the lobbies, scouring the libraries, dodging this runaway, peremptorily holding the button of that, whispering, entreating —no sheep dog could be more watchful, more determined, more unrelent ing- This is the active life of the whipper-in. His lei sure hours are spent in counting the honse for amuse ment. A whipper-in seldom addresses the house. Counting, not talking, is his vocation, and when he does talk, it is usually in defence of his counting. Thus it was that Sir Thomas spoke lately. His reason was plain why there was not a house. He only whips-in, he says, for his own people—let the opposition keep their own hunts man. Now, they did not expect government business on Tuesday ; but Lord John Russell had given notice of an impartant motion. Therefore, says Sir Thomas, whip in for yourselves, ye opposition. I had enough to do with these refractory young bloods on the tory side. March you your men through Coventry. lam not to make a rod for my own back. When I was in opposition, I used to whip up my own people ; do you likewise! It is not to be expected of me that I should discharge the functions at once of her Majesty's government and her Majesty's opposition. The truth is, Lord John Russell wanted an excuse for shirking his motion, and took this advantage of Sir Thomas Fremantle's high sense of the limits of his duty to gain his cal—Britannia.

After taking their preparatory canter past the Stand, the lot were got in order, and, after two attempts, suc ceeded in effecting a beautiful start, Prizefighter being about a length a-head, Nutwith second, Mania third, and Cotherstone fourth ; the others lying close up, and com posing the ruck, of which Aristides was last ; in this order they continued over the hill, and at the Red House the pace was tremendous. On arriving at the distance, Co therstone, who had laid very wide of his horses through out the race, now made an effort, caught Mania, and in a few strides passed her; half way up the distance Prize fighter fell back, and Nutwith obtained the command, which he maintained to the end ; and, after one of the finest races ever witnessed, won very cleverly by a head; Cotherstone beating Prizefighter by a head for the second place.

LEGEIt PROPHECIES In connexion with the above race, we think that some of our readers will thank us for letting them know what the different sporting journals predicted. VATES, of the Era. (a capital sporting paper, and dis tinguished also for the ability and impartiality of its poli tical and literary articles,) gave it as his opinion that Cotherstone would be the first, with Nutwith and Prize fighter second and third. JuDEX, of the Morning Post, declares against Calker stuns, on the ground " that the same horse can never win, and will never win, Derby and St. Leger." He says also, that Murat is " quite fit and ready to start at a moment's notice, !n the event of any accident happening to Cotherslone ;" acid winds up with declaring that " Prizefighter and Nutwith are two pretty good horses ; where one is, the other will most likely be, although I confess I fancy the former, if the race be run from end to end." One correspondent of the Sporting Magazine says, " To judge from public running, I leave the race in the hands of Cotherstone, Murat, and Mania (the Bess} Bedlam filly.) Nutwith undoubtedly will run well, and the Silkworm filly will be up at the finish." Another writer in the same magazine thinks that Murat " will gr, to Doncaster, and being a slow, honest animal, will, bl persevering to the end, come in about second, though he can have no pretensions to beat Cotherstone." Of Manic his opinion is, that she is " a good mare, possessed o both speed and stoutness, as her running at Goodwoor shows. I should be sorry to stand heavily against her fo, the great race." He winds up, decisively, by saying that there can be only one opinion—" viz., that the spell cast over this race since Champion's year will at last br dissolved, and Cotherstone win the St. Leger as easily at. he did the Derby." Bell's Life declares, that " barring ugly accidents, bold Catheralone must win." The Morning Herald says, " Prizefighter is Scott'r horse. 1 don't think him good enough to win, but I think they'll win with bins if they can, and not witL CoMersfone."
