THE CHESTER AUTUMN MEETING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Thanks to the energy and activity of that cele-
brated handicapper, Mr. Topham, the Chester meeting
is supplied with two good days' sport on Tuesday and
Wednesday next. The number of nominations con-
siderably exceed those hitherto found at the autumnal
gathering on the Roodee.
On Tuesday the racing will commence with the 5
soya. Handicap, for two years old (three-quarters of a
mile). The result of this race must be, to my thinking,
in favour of ADA or RAGE; Polly, in all probability, ob-
taining the third place.
The Shorts Handicap of 10 sovs. each, h ft, with 50
added (seven furlongs), out of its thirty-five nominations
will probably have a field of from twelve to fifteen at the
least. Among those who look %ell in is Sir Charles, 5
yrs, 7st lolb; lanthe, 4 yrs' 7st; Equal, 3 yrs, 6st 41b;
Hyacinth, 3 yrs, 63t; and Sir Charles Napier, 3 yrs,
sst 51b. Evadno with her penalty of five pounds—
making her weight ist 41b—I presume will not start;
but should she, her chance is not completely out. The
first three places, I am inclined to fancy, will be filled by
HYACINTH, lanthe, and Sir Charles; Equal being close
up with the third.

Tho Tredeemen's Welter Cup looks a good thing for
CATJRIRE.

The Mostyn Stakes of 10 sous. each, h ft, with 40
added, for two and three years old (three-quarters of a
is sure to be carried off by EXACT or Lambton,
the tormer in all likelihood.
The Innkeepers' Plate of 70 goys. (over the Grosvenor
course) looks uncommonly well for WARWICK or Timid
Fawn, the first named for choice.
The Chester Leviathan Stakes of 10 'sous. each, 30
added (mile and three-quarters), is scarcely of sufficient
value to attract to the post either Muscovite or Orelio;
consequently it may be booked, in their absence, a cer-
tainty for BETHGELERT.

The Grand Stand Stakes of 10 sous. each, with 50
added, for two years old, seven furlongs, will probably
start hal-a-dozen, including Placid, Auteverta, and the
filly by Assault out of Newton Lass. If in form the
first named, who is the top weight, will be the winner.
After her I should vote for Anteverta.

The Chester Handicap of 100 SOW., added to a sweep-
stakes of 5 sous. each (mile and seven furlongs),
with penalties for winning the Shorts Handicap,
Innkeepers' Plate, or Cup, &c., out of its
fifty nominations I anticipate a third will
be found at the post. Their names it is
a matter of impossibility to give at the pre-
sent time : Lady Evelyn, however, will not start ; nor
will Paddy Bird. Retail is rather over-dosed with
weight at Bst 51b. Truth, at 7st 131 b, is just the con-
trary. The Great Nancy, with 7st 71b on her back, has
but little chance of winning. Doubt is nicely in at 73t ;
so are Wadlow's couple, Candlewick and Lady Amyote,
the former at Est 121 b, and penalty; the latter at Est 21b.
I shall look no farther for the winner, but expect it will
appear in DOUBT or Wadlow's starter.—l am, Sir, &c.,

SHIP NEWS.
CAUTION TO MARINERS.
Aldborough, Sept. 20.
Two vessels are sunk about three tulles below the
Shipwash light, with the mast of one above water.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
RESCUE OF SHIPWRECKED MARINERS.
The Danish Consul-General in London has given
notice to mariners that, in the event of their being un-
fortunately stranded on the north coast of Jutland or on
the coasts of Bornholm, and when no other communica-
tion can be made with the ship for the rescue of the
Crew, that a line of nine yarns will be thrown to them
by the aid of a rocket apparatus, which is to be hauled
on board, and attached to which is a 3f inch warp
having a blcck secured in the end, in which is the bight
of a smaller line, which must be fastened to the escape
chair by means of an iron ring traversing the 3f inch
warp. The warp is to be made fast on board as high us
practicable, in order that the chair may pass, if pos-
sible, clear of the surge. This explanation of the mode
adopted by the Danish Government to facilitate the es-
cape of shipwrecked persons is sufficiently comprehen-
sive for the instruction of seamen.

The Danish Government has given notice that a light-
ship with two mast?, schoonerrigged and her sides
painted red, with a white cross, in ten fathoms of water,
E. by S., three cables' length from Dvaleground Middle
Beacue, which has two brooms. will be placed in the
channel of Laesoe in lat 47 124 N., long. 16 44 E. of
Greenwich. The ship will show nine lumps, with re-
flectors, at a height of thirty feet above the level of the
water, and will be seen 2 to 2i Danish miles distant.
The light will commence burning in the present month
of October, of which due notice will be given.

th,. spirited owner of the vessel from London. The launch

COMMITTAL FOR MURDER.--A young girl named
Ann Slaughter, until lately residing with her father-in-law
and mother, George and Ann Merryman, at Love-lane,
Windsor, was committed on Thursday for trial upon the
charge of murdering her own infant. The prisoner admitted
that she was delivered by the bedside on the morning of
Sunday the 15th of August - that when the child fell from
her ,he heard it squeak once; but that when. she took it up
from the floor of the bed-room it was dead. She then placed
it in her shawl, took it to the privy of a neighbour, and de-
posited it in the night-soil.

The heavy rain which continued all day prevented
her Majesty from going out yesterday murniag, but
in the afternoon her Majesty walked in the neigh-
bourhood of the Castle with the Princess Royal and
Princess Alice.

His Royal Prince Albert went out deer-
stalking.
The dinner party yesterday included her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Kent, her Serene Highness
the Princess Hohenlohe Langenbourg, his Serene
Highness Prince Hermann of Hobenlohe Langen-
bourg, Lady Augusta Bruce, and Viscount Hardinge.
The Marquis of Westminster had an interview with
Mr. Secretary Walpole yesterday. Lord Lovaine had

Gentleman at the Home-office.

Colonial-office for the Governors of the North Ame-
rican Provinces, and also for the Governors of the
West India Colonies.
