SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

CHESTER CUP DAY.

The town of Chester presented an unusual scene of throng
and excitement. At an early hour those more deeply
interested in the great event of the day wended their way to
the Roodee to watch the appearance of the horses engaged
in the Cup. Crowds congregated in the vicinity of the
Royal Hotel, and as the morning advanced Eastgate and
Watergate streets became almost impassable. At the Railway
Station lively freights were incessantly discharged from all
parts of England,' whilst our country friends poured in by
large numbers along the various roads. Many of the
Liverpool visitors preferred the road, and Northgate-street
kept alive as they arrived in their fours-in-hand. The
was most favourable for the pleasure seekers, and

The aspect of the Continent
Now fills us with alarms,
When we behold Sardinia, France,

Not that we tremble for ourselves,
Here in our home sea-girt ;
Yet still we would the scourge of war
From other lands avert.
The skilled n foreign politics
Their brains are racking now
Peace to preserve in Europe
By all means,-no matter how.
A General Congress they propose,
By means of whiel- 'rust
