On Monday last five races were run on nor
comae, by horses belonging to the Officers of the
13th Licht Dragoons. which, fur the most part,
produt•d excelk-ot sport, being well contested and
welt somisged by the respective riders. The first, a
haoslicap sweep.tskes, value 60ge., was won by Coy.
stet Potts's Topless besting five others. This was
a very this race, and would hare gratified, if not
puzzled, the most knowing of the black-leg tribe.
Tie next was a sweepstakes, for which three
started. sod produced a dead heat between Cornet

'The other three were matches, the first of which
was stubbornly disputed, and won with dilicolty by
Urn,. Maclean's Reefer. beating Commis Doherty's
Brilliant.

The tare lest were envy races, and excited no in-
terert,

The course was well attended by fairlionables,
and well kept too by soldiers of the regiment, un-
der the direction of their Officers, why manifest-
ed a politeeirais that did th►m great credit ; and
proved highly pleasing to the numerous company
present.

ASSOCIATED CATHOLIC CHARITIES.

Yesterday the anniversary festival of this mast
laudable and truly charitable instutution was cele-
brated at tht Fredonia's' Tavern. Great Queen.
street, Lincoln's Ino-firlds, and on no occasion this
season have we noticed more Noblemen of high
milk. At half-past five o'clock upwards of two
hundred friends and supporters of the institution
sat down to * nicc.t sumptuous dinner ;
Tb. Right Hon. t►e Fart of SURREY, in the Chai►,
rapport'd on tlw right by his Grace the Doke of Norfolk
and the Right Rev. Doctor Poynter; and un the left by
the Right Hun. Lord Clifford and Hugh Engle&ld, Esq.
We also noticed utuourst the company
Lord Petre, Lord Arland.. the Hos. Hugh Clifford, Hon.
Charles Clifford, Colonel Stoner, Sir Thomas Stanley, Sir
Heigh Engle&ld, Sir George Jerniiieham, Sir E Blount, Sir
J. Thriselmorton, H. Stanley, Esq. Raynsoud Arundel!, Esq.
and C. Maxwell, Esq. ; also the Rev. Messrs. Archer, Brae p.
tea, Broderick, Demising, Wilda, hoes &c.

There were many Ladies of high rank in the Gal.
levy, who enjoyed and contributed liberally to the
charitable purpose of the Meeting. The band of
the third regiment of Guards in full uniform, played
several delightful sirs, and contributed to add to
the pleasure of the entertainment. After the cloth
was removed, ig Noe *obis D0111111e," was sung in
very finestyle by Mears. J. Taylor, Clarke, Masters
Connor stid Pratt. The latter afterwards rang
4‘ Scots who hoe writ Wallace bled," its excellent
style.
After the usual toed' of the King, Queen, Prince
Regent, &c. Ste. there were several other toasts and
sentiments drunk, and many excellent songs sung.
The poor children, the objects of the charity, to the
amount of several hundred, were introduced by the
stewards into the ►oom, round which they marched
in procession, carrying silk banners; they were so
numerous as nearly to till the large hall to suffoca-
tion. It was cheering to see so orally pour orphans
rescued from penury and wretchedness. to a state
of comfort and happiness. William Sheehy, an
orphan only lit years of age, delivered a very pleas-
ing address of thanks, in behalf of himself and the
other children.

After the children withdrew. Chas. Boller. EN.
rose and made a most eloquent speech. The Noble
Chairman and many others delivered their senti-
ments on the benefit resulting to society at large
from the Institution. The amount of the *airier'''.
tion after dinner. we are happy to say. was very
considerable.

HYDItOPHOSIA.—The prevsleo.ce of this dread-

smothered, its the neighbourhood of the Park, oast
