us (being chapter the twenty-ninth) recounts the in •
terview between the lover and the mother of Esther
Summerson. There is a gush of pathetic and
agonized feeling at the last, where the maternal ten-
derness breathes out in the cry of anguish, " 0 my
child, my child ! Not dead in the first hours of
her life, as my cruel sister told me ; but sternly
nurtured by her, after she had renounced me
and my name ! 0 my child !0 my child!' And
our heart melts at last towards the cold and proud
Lady Dedlock—for we unexpectedly recognize the
parental sensibility through that exquisite but repel-
ling, veil of haughtiness. Among our especial favour-
ites in " Bleak House," foremost amongst them is Mr.
George, a fine, manly, noble-hearted fellow, whose very
toilet becomes to us matter of interest, and whose kind-
ness to Phil Squod is conspicuous as an illustration of
his generous temperament. Phil himself is a genuine
original—dubious even as to his age. "I'm some-
thing with a eight in it," says Phil. "It can't be
eighty. Nor yet eighteen. It's betwixt 'em, some-
how." That horrible old Guy Fawkes of a
grand-
father, Smallweed, pays Mr. George a visit in the
shooting gallery, attended by the pinched-up Judy.
Neither grandfather Smallweed, however, nor vet
Mr. TulkinAorne, talking cunningly as he does (-v
watchful behind the close•drawn curtain—can' suc-
ceed in extracting any particulars from Mr. George
in regard to his former officer, the ill-fated Captain
Hawdon. Delightful i 3 the description of Chesney
\Vold, where " the cousins" ara the guests of Sir
Leicester—and where Miss Volumnia is there with
her rouge and her antiquated coquetries—aud where
Mr.Rounce well, the ironmaster, !hocks the aristocratic
convictions and predilections of the lord of all the high,
mighty, and puissant house of the Dedlocks. Delightful
too, yet more, is the description given elsewhere of Mr.
George's friends, the Bagnets, with the three capital
little children, called (after the places of their birth)
respectively, Quebec, Malta, and Young Woolwich.
Altogether the number is about the most eminently
successful that has yet appeared—containing passages
worthy in pathos, in humour, and in magical powers
of delineation, of the incomparable and unapproach-
able author of David Copperfield.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCXLV.

A very fair day's sport came off yesterday over the
Aintree, commencing with the Hurdle Race, which, as
I anticipated, was won, and easily too, by Mr. Saxon's
Caurire. Nothing of any note started against him, with
the exception of the Little Queen, who settled her
chance by making a bolt of it. It was expected by many
that Warwick and Sir Robert would not run ; had they
done so it would have been an interesting race ; bat, as I
remarked in No. CCCXLIII. of these Notes, I could not
for an instant entertain the notion, that, with other and
much better flat races in perspective, their owners would
run them for such a race.

The Sefton Autumn Handicap was won, after a good
race with three, by Little Fawn ; my particular fancy,
Doubt, running second ; Warwick finished a good third.
I fancy Doubt's defeat is owing principally to her being
somewhat stale, while the winner came to the post look-
ing as fresh as could be. Warwick is a useful horse, and
by his conceding 101 b to Doubt, and 131 b to the
winner, and finishing forward in the race, must be
watched for his future races, as he seems to be entered
for pretty nearly every second and third rate stake.
Truth found the distance rather too far for her. Black
Doctor ran very stale. All the stuff had been taken out
of Candlewick by her race at Epson. Sir Robert found
the course too long for him; and Kiteflyer and Little
Davie discovered the weight was too much; as did
Woolwich and Retail. St. Michael and Fuze are bad
ones, and finished where I expected they would do—in
the ruck. Colsterdale's running I cannot make out;
for, after winning the great race at the Summer Meeting
at Liverpool very cleverly, he now, leniently treated by
the handicapper, cuts a very bad figure. The winner of
this race is in the Great Warwick Handicap at the same
weight as he carried yesterday; but the penalty she will
have to carry may. perchance, capsize her chance.
The Tyro Handicap was won in very clever style by
that in-and-out runner, Game Tommy; Lord Fauconberg
finishing second, Pastry Cook third. The crack was
soon out of the race, and the remaining six were beaten
half way up the distance.
A match between a couple of ponies brought the day's
racing to a conclusion.
To-morrow and Friday is devoted, among the North
country members of the sporting world, to the celebra-
tion of Northallerton races. This year, for the first
time, they are under the management of the new Clerk
of the Course, Mr. John H. Peart, the fruit of whose
exertions will no doubt be seen and appreciated in the
ensuing meeting.

The entries for the smaller Stakes and Plates must be
made this evening at the Black Bull Inn, Northallerton.
There are only two Stakes that require any notice from
mo—the North Riding Handicap, run to-morrow, and
the Northallerton Handicap, run on Friday. The former
(twice round and a distance, the exact length of which
I have been unable to ascertain, but which I fancy is
rather over two miles) will, in all probability, be con-
tested by one each from Hesseltine's, Osborne's, Daw-

son's and Taylor's stables ; and perhaps by another or
two. THE FARMER'S BOY probably being the destined
winner, Little Davie or Conmore, whichever may start,
occupying the second place.
The Northallerion Handicap will not improbably be
carried cff by THE CHILD CF TUE MIST, who 15 let
loose at sst 12ib Dismay or Miss Singers will have
the next places, Rachetee being well up.
