Waxes LORD CLIFDIX re TIAINED.—On the death of old
Mr. Creektoed, • few days attar an Epsom meeting, some
asemben of his club instituted en inquiry into the ease,
and ultimately Monad as their verdict, "Died of •
Derby favourite." There would still appear to be an more
trying poritioa for a man to occupy than that of the owner
of a hone standing high in the betting for any of the great
more ; and Lord St. Vieemat has, within only the lest
few days, had bat too strong • proof of this.
Early us the past week the following advertise-
ment appeared in the daily papery which we Mout mein
here as lathe only too pimply its own story : "One Hun-
dred Pounds Reward—Whets," some evil-diaposed
or persons did, on Saturday and Sunday, the 9th and
days of May inst., out holes ia the turf, filling the same
with eats, on TelsoesabDowne, near Lewis,o which downs
the horses el Viscount St Viseeet are trained, forth,Pu
it is supposed of censing injury to the said horses ; the:
reward will be paid to any perm or persons who will supply
the neemary informatem to lead to the discovery
sad ociavietka of the offender or instigators. Apply to
Mews. Robson and Tidy, 13. Clifford's-sun, FleMstreet."
Infamous attempts of this description cannot but
mate great scandal, and tell heavily against the
beet interests of the turf. On public grounds then
it is very clearable that Lord St. Vincent's effort. should
be hedged every quarter, sal the matter not suffered to
die out after the Derby is over. There is pretty certain
to be some seedy *mandrel who may be tempted scow or
later to betray his accomplices and employers, and we are
not quite so sore but that this is a ease in which the Jockey
Club might IMATOiDO its influence with manifest advantage,
even if nothing shoot some of that body taking the matter
up. The diet alone would be something of an example.
Years Dawes. wee hung for an offence of scarcely
some memity, sad we do hope to see this followed
est with beemaing determination to have these scoundrels
as severely punithed as posiilde. Every now and then we
hear stories of a bone patting his foot into • rabbit hole,
sod we are old enough to remember a case very much in
point, when a Derby favourite was injured for life is
this way is taking almost his lest gallop before the race.—

relative precedenoe of the corporations of Dublin and Edin-
burgh has been made to the Lord Lieutenant by Sir Ber-

The subeeriptions for carrying on the work have come io
nobly; upwards of 40,0001., we are told. having ben collected.
The t estimates fall below 80,000 f. ; it is, therefore,
hoped that the whole will be forthcoming by the time it le
required. It is hoped and believed that the sew spire will
be finished by July 1866 ; but little more than three years.

understand that the doubts which existed as to the famous

been wholly removed by the unanimous vote of the
