CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

WOODIA"S " CARPET BAG."

SPAIN.

OLD COURT.
P,ST-OFFICE ROBBERY.
Robert Gadsntarle, egtd 28, a letter-carrier, pleaded
guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing a
post-office letter containing an Oster for 51., the property
of the Postmaster-General.
Mr. Clarkson, who appeared for the prosecution, said
the prisoner formerly kept a receiving-house at `Val-
worth, but it was removed from his shop in consequence
of his being unfortunate in business. Ho subsequently
applied to the Postmaster Gencral for employment, and
was engaged as assistant letter-carrier in Lambeth; and
it was while he was so employed that he stole the letter
containing the post office order, which he succeeded in
getting cashed. He was sorry to add that this was not
the only offence of the same kind committed by the
prisoner.
The Cbief Baron intimated that ho would postpone
passing sentence.

A delightful entertainment is now being given nightly
by Mr. W. S. Woodin—a gentleman hitherto unknown
to any audience in the metropolis—at the charming
little theatre once popular as the " Adelaide Gallery,"
and recently frequented as the arena of the Marionettes.
As we had the gratification of ourselves witnessing on
Monday evening the skill of Mr. Woodin, as a caterer
to the public tseste for amusement, W 3 can speak authori-
tatively of his very genial humour and really surprising
abilities. Since the famous " Evenings at Home," of
good, wry-faced, limping, merry-conceited old Charles
Mathews, wo have had nothing at all comparable to the
" Carpet Bag and Sketch-Book" of our young Polypho-
nist. We say this without without any disparagement
for Love—for Love is principally admirable for his mar-
vellous powers of ventriloquism. Love, for the most
part, surpasses others mainly by his astounding capacity
and ems zing adroitness in the more eccentric class of
vocal imitations. He will bring clearly before you every
cry that can be heard in the farm-yard, as clearly as
over could Paganini on that one miraculous string of
his violin. Charles Lamb used to say of Munden, that
"ho understood a leg of mutton in its quiddity." And
so may we say of Love, that he seems to have
penetrated as fully as .sli:sop himself, the mysteries
of the language squeaked, grunted, chirped, hummed,
quacked, gahLled, barked, or mowed, by the vari li
-
ous denin awe of the animal, the bird, or the insect
kingdom. He will give you a bee in a bottle as
you might fancy could only be done by a bee in a bottle
itself. lie will describe the whole of a fight between a
couple of dogs—fierce, fast, and furious—until you shall
wan: bhtail ingeleaTiny
dis-
closing really begin to have serious thoughts about hydrophobia-
It is in this way that Love continues, to our mind, alto-
gether to this moment unrivalled. But Woodia's talents
are of a totally different character. He does entirely
what Love attempts only, so to speak, incidentally.
Be represents in his own person a whole mob of imagi-
nary personages. One feels inclined to read the Riot Act
to him, as Sir Walter Scott said he felt disposed to do
when he first listened to Alexandre. Never was such a
Proteus! Captain Absolute was nothing to him. And
as for Cerberus—here is a head that seems to be multi-
plied, not by three, but thirty. Mr. Woodin possesses,
in truth, a flexibility in the features and an adaptability
in the organs of articulation, that must prove to every
visitor to his entertainment, matter for absolute astonish-
ment. We should like much to know the opinion enter-

lamps of a lecturer. Opposite these there is propped up
against the wall a gigantic carpet bay, such
expect our old friend Blunderbore would carry, supposing
he should ever take it into his head to pay a visit to his
cousins in the land of Brobdignag. In the back ground,
or, as they say in the prompter's books, in the flat ap-
pears a sketch-book of correspondingly vast dimensions.
Furnished with these accessories, Mr. Woodin talks to
his audience pleasantly over the top of the desk, telling
them all sorts of queer anecdotes—especially that one of
the speculator, who was driven by untoward circum-
stances to be at once " money-taker " and " concert "
and flings at the heads of his hearers from between the
two lamps as many quips, cranks, and puns, as M.
Robert Houdin used to toss out of his hat showers of
pretty
toys, flowers, and bonbons. The puns, in particular,

co (or
a new picture of some old familiar spot in or near
the metropolis—showing sometimes really very meritori-
ous powers on the part of Mr. Woodin as an artist,
powers more particularly visible, we may remark, in the
paintings of the Tower of London and of the Hospital
at
Greenwich, of One Tree Hill, and of the view at Rich-
mond. Besides all this—rather, we should say, immea-
surably beyond all this—there are the vocal and visual
illustrations or impersonations, which constitute the chief
delight of the entertainment. Under new names, we
meet with a store of old acquaintances, There is the
servant of all work, Martha Mivins, who has (we are
sure of it) lineally descended from Miss Miggs, being,
moreover, a blood relation (we are certain) of Susan
Nipper. Then there is Sir Benjamin Bungle, with his
capital stories, the point of which he never can recollect,
any more than the gentleman in cloth boots, who spent
the evening at Bob Sawyer's lodgings in Lant-street,
mentioned towards the close of the historian's narrative
of the career of the immortal Pickwick. As to Major
Bluster, who is never to be humbugged as an old tra-
veller, he is unquestionably a brother in arms of Arthur
O'Leary, if he has not been also on bowing terms with
both Major Bagstock and Major Peudennis. No doubt,
again, that Mr. Sampson Rusty has dined before now,
sipping wine and cracking walnuts, with that honest old
drysalter, Ephraim Hardcastle. Little Mrs. Muddle, also,
wonderful little Mrs. Muddle, must, we would wager,
trace her genealogy on ono side to the family of Miss
Mowoher, of corn-cutting renown, and on the other to
that of worthy Mrs. Jarley, of wax-work celebrity. Ben
Binnacle is, in another way, a very accurate copy from
one of those " genuine old originals," the Greenwich
pensioners. But what shall we say, what can we pos-
sibly say, of the oldest inhabitant—good, gentle, bene-
volent Mr. Oliver Oldstyle? What—but that it is a
creation, and a very beautiful one, moreover. The song
sung by Mr. Woodin in this character is charmingly
clever, and we doubt not must command a wide and
lasting popularity. With these materials, and an operatic
illustration, the first part of the entertainment is brought
to a conclusion—the operatic illustration, by the way,
being (although with several capital hits in it) rather
too much of an extravagance. In the second and con-
cluding part, we learn, through a humourous ditty—
admitting, notwithstanding, its drollery of some judici-
ous curtailment—all about the sorrows and calamities
befalling Mr. Tobias Traddles (no relation of Tom) on
the occasion of his visit to the metropolis, to see the
Great Exhibition. Other "country cousins" are as-
tonished after a different fashion, by a comic beef-eater
at the Tower, spoken of in the programme, as " a well-
known personage." Added to these impersonations, we
have a capital specimen of a Scotchman, in Sandie
M'Whittle—trolling off among other things with
the
burr," the whole of Macbeth's soliloquy. Then there
comes a full-length portrait of a Yankee clipper, true to
to the life; and then of Mr. Cavil, quite as true; and yet
others in the forms of Mr. and Mrs. Lapsus Linger—the
latter always having slips of the tongue (even in singing)
and the former living entirely in the midst of the events
of the reign of Cromwell. And so with " vocal and visual"
accounts of the pleasures of a pic-nic, the "Carpet Bag"
and the Sketch Book" are both shut up by the entertainer,
who is anything but ehutup himself, seeing thatthereupon
crowns his very singular performance by wonderfully
admirable imitations of the Lions of London—speaking
successively with the exact voice, and the identical
manner of Albert Smith,and Henry Russell, and Wright,
and Compton, and Buckstone. A pleasanter entertain-
ment we don't know of, at this moment, any-
where in London or Westminster. Its merits will soon,
we doubt not, become more generally appreciated. The
" Carpet Bag" must, indeed, in the course of things, ex-
tend its popularity, and, by so doing, tend to establish
Mr. W. S. Woodin's reputation.

Madrid journals and correqondence of the 21st
insr. have arrived. The Court had returned to
1 Madrid from en excursion to Penton de la Oliva.
The family had expressed themselves highly
satisfied with the works for bringing a fresh supply
of water to the capital : it is stated by the engineers
that they will be in effective operation within two
years, and thus the want of water, from which the
inhabitants hive often suffered, will no longer be
felt.

The fortress of the Mole, at Mahon, was duly in-
augurated on the 10th inst. by the Captain-General
ot the Baltric Isles, the Bishop of Minorca, and other
authorities, who arrived there on that day in the
Piles steamer. The Bishop performed service in the
church, round which the troops were drawn up, and
blessed the flag, which the Captain general himself
placed on the bulwarks, addressing the troops at the
same time. A general salute of 200 guns was then
fired ; the garrison had extra rations on the occasion;
.ind a substantial dinner was provided for 1,400
labourers, who had been working at the fortifications.
Tee new fortress is named after the Queen.

GERMANY.
The representatives of Bavaria, Saxony, Hesse
essel, and liesse Darmstadt had already arrived in
Vienna, for the opening of the new customs confer-
ences, and the plenipotentiaries of the other Germany
Govcrnmects who have been invited, were expected
shortly. The conferences will probably commence
at the close of this month. The Minister for Foreign
Affairs is said to have given his full assent to the
political schedules drawn up in the trade department.
The system of the customs union, as contained in
the documents of 1849 and 1850, is to be so far modi•
tied that a customs union may be entered into with
all the German states which agree with the propo-
sition as early as the lat January, 1854. The state.
went that Austria has declared herself ready to con-
clude a customs union convention with the Darmstadt
allies, to guarantee to them the fixed amount of their
present customs revenues, and to open its own fron-
tiers on the lit January, 1854, is again brought for-
ward in a more decided form.

The intelligence announcing that the Prince Pre-
sident of the French Republic had resolved to accept
the Empire produced so profound a sensation in the
highest circles in Berlin, that all the Ministers who
were in the capital at the time immediately held a
Cabinet council, and dispatched a courier with all
haste to the King. His Majesty came to the capital
in the evening (of the 24th) accompanied by Baron
Mauteuffel, and a council was again assembled for the
purpose of definitively drawing up the instructions
which are to be given to Count Von Hatzfeld, his
Majesty's Ambassador at Paris.
Intelligence has been received in Berlin from
Brunswick which is extremely vexatious to the Prus•
Sian Zollverein. It appears that Brunswick has suf-
fered itself to be carried over to the side of Austria,
and that, like Hanover, it has determined to observe
an expectant attitude. It is certain that Brunswick
has refused, up to this moment, to renew a customs
treaty with Prussia. It will send a plenipotentiary to
the conferences at Vienna—not to take part in the
discussions, but to be present there as a reporter.
It is talked of in Berlin to withdraw from circula-
tion the existing paper money, and to replace it by
another paper; for it is considered desirable that
there should he only one kind of paper money in cir-
culation. The change , will probably be introduced
at the beginning of the year.
Hamburgh has been visited last week by two
delegates from a wealthy and influential English com-
pany, who, in conjunction with some Dutch capita-
lists, have resolved to effect a desired railway com-
munication to Bremen, Oldenberg, Lur, Groningen,
Leuwarden, and Harlingen ; and thus to connect
ilamburgh by the shortest possible route to Holland,
and also to England. From Groningen a branch
line will be laid down from Zwolle to Utrecht, to
join the Netherlands Rhenish line, which latter con-
nects Rotterdam and Amsterdam.

The importance of the projected line (says the
Hamburgh Borsenhalle) to the whole of Northern
Germany and of Holland is so self-evident, that it is
scarcely necessary to name it. It is, therefore, per-
fectly natural that the said delegates received most
binding assurances from our public authorities to do
everything to forward the undertaking, similar pro-
mises have already been given by the Netherlands,
Oldenbergh, and Bremen authorities. It is much to
be wished that Hanover would act equally favourable
to the project, and that the concession asked for by
the company may be granted with as little delay as
possible.

THE LATE TOTNES ELECTION.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 27, 1852.

; TIDE PROJECTED RAILWAY ACROSS
CLAPIIAIII-GOMMON.

A large and influential meeting of the owners and
occupiers of houses oa Clapham-common and its vicinity,
was held last night, at the Boys' Parochial School-
room, to adopt the necessary measures for preventing
the formation of a railway across one of the most beau-
tiful open pieces of ground near the metropolis.
The chair was taken at half-past seven o'clock by
Captain Bowyer, the Lord of the Manor, supported by
the Rector of Clapham, the Rev. R. H. Lewis, incumbent
of St. Paul's, Messrs. R. Beddome, E. Burmester, Chas.
Curling, Benjamin Field, J. P. Gassiot, T. A. Hankey,
Dr. Silvester, Thomas Hon-ell, J. T. Knowles,
Deacon, Thomas Puckle, H. Hopley White, Soltau,
Stephen Williams, &c.

The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, remarked
that they were assembled to oppose a project. which
some persons no doubt considered to be fur the good of
the public, but which the majority of the inhabitants of
Clapham believed to be most detrimental to their in-
terests, inasmuch as it would greatly disturb the quiet of
the neighbourhood, and materially interfere with its
respectability. (Cheers.)
Mr. THOMAS PUCKLE moved the first resolution, to
the effect that the proposed line of the West-end of
London and Crystal Palace Railway across Clapham-
common, would, without adequate advantage to the
public, greatly depreciate house and landed property at
Clapham ; entirely alter and deteriorate the character of
the neighbourhood ; and destroy the quiet and comfort
the inhabitants. As one of the oldest inhabitants cf
the parish, be considered himself perfect►y justified in
coming forward to move this resolution, and it any
further inducement was requisite, it would be found in
the fact that he possessed freehold property to the
value of some 10,001;I., contiguous to the proposed line
of railway. His object, in common with the rest of the
meeting, was to prevent the formation of the projected
line, which was intended to commence at Battersea new
bridge, and proceed across Clapham-common to the
Crystal Palace at Sydenham. Clapbam•common being
high ground, it was necessary to make a cutting 30 feet
in depth, which was to be eventually covered over, and
converted into a tunnel.
Mr. S. SIDNEY, after exhibiting a plan of the proposed
line, proceeded to show the object of the promoters, and
the advantages which it would confer on the locality.
The resolution was then put and agreed to, there
being only one hand held up against it.
Mr. J. 13. GASIOT said he was sure that the proposi-
tion which he had to submit to the meeting would meet
its hearty concurrence:—" That the most determined
opposition be offered to the scheme at every stage; and
this meeting pledges itself to raise whatever funds may
be requisite for that purpose."
Mr. T. A. HAWKEY, in seconding the resolution, re-
marked it was somewhat strange that the board of direc-
tors should not have made any official announcement of
the proposed alteration to the committee. He certainly
could not take the dictum uttered by Mr. Sidney as a
resolution to be carried out by the Crystal Palace Com-
pany. He submitted that some step ought to be taken
to obtain some authoritative information as to the deci-
sion of the company. (Cheers).
The resolution was then adopted.
A resolution was also passed requesting the members
for the county and the members for the boroughs within
the county to give the measure their decided opposition.
On the motion of Mr. Soltau, seconded by Mr. S.
Williams, a vote of thanks was given to the Chairman,
with a brief acknowledgment of which the proceedings
terminated.

DISTRESSING DEATIL—The following frightful
death has just occurred in the infirmary of St. Andrew's,
Holborn, Workhouse:—Caroline Killeck, who has just at-
tained her twenty-third year, having been an inmate of the
workhouse from her infancy, was a few days since left alone
in the women's day room, where a large fire was burning,
" . Hearing
over which was a saucepan, in which she worders s a " stew ing do
sown
tea tea leaves, somewhat contrary
one approach, she hastily leaned over the iron guard, and in
seizing the saucepan her apron took fire, and from thence
communicated with her gown, a sort of light flimsy check
linen. The poor creature, uttering piercing screams, and en-
veloped in lames, ran from room to room, but the affrighted
inmates rendered her no assistance, till at length she bounded
down the hall staircase, where she was met by Mr. Aldred,
the master, who immediately enveloped her in a large mat
that happened to be handy, and wrapped up in this, she was
conveyed to the infirmary upstairs. There being no medical
man resident on the establishment, Mr. Sewell, the surgeon
to the workhouse, was immediately sent for, and the usual
remedies in such deplorable cases applied. The poor sufferer
lingered on in excruciating agony until Saturday morning
last, when she expired.
SUICIDE AT BRISTOL.—A painful sensation was
excited yesterday, at Bristol, in consequence of its becoming
known that Mr. William Gold Pugsley had rashly put a
period to his existence, by banging himself to a bed-post, at
his residence, St. Michael's-hill, in that city. The deceased
who had been very widely known, and who was generally-
respected, had formerly kept a tavern in the Hotwell• road,
where he lived many years with great respectability.
THE
STRAND
ROBBERY.—At Capel-street, Police-
office, Dublin, on Monday, G. Winters and Josephine Scott,
natives of London, were charged by Superintendent 15/Ma-
hon of the G. division of police, for having a large quantity
of broken gold, diamonds, pearls, and other jewels, of great
value in their possession, supposed to be a part of the pro-
perty stolen from the shop of Mr. Jones, watchmaker, and
jeweller, 388, Strand, London, on or about the 9th instant.
The prisoners were remanded for a week.
STRIKE IN THE BOOT AND SHOE TRADE.—A good
deal of excitement prevails in Westminster, in consequence
of a very serious dispute between the master strong boot and
shoemakers and the men in their employ, which has led to
a strike among the latter, and induced the masters to adver-
tise by bills for 500 good hands, to whom constant employ-
ment is promised, and it is supposed that this is the number
of men out on the strike. The dispute appears to have arisen
through a number of the masters, on the let of October,
wishing the men to sign a document consenting to a certain
amount of wages, and not to support any men who do not
agree to that proposal, who should strike in consequence. The
prices the masters offer are 2s. 3d. and the closing to be paid
for extra, with full employment, but the men say this is a
starvation price.
ASTLEY'S.—The entertainments at this theatre have
for some weeks past consisted almost entirely of scenes
in the circle. Mr. Batty, however, intends resuming the
hippodramatio entertainment on the stage, on Monday,
November 1, with a new spectacle, from the pen of a
popular author, with scenery, costumes, and decorations
of the most gorgeous description. We understand that
Mr. Batty, after a long, active, and highly-successful
career, is about retiring from the toils of management—
having purchased the handsome mansion known as
" Bridge House," Golder's-green, on the Finchley-road,
with extensive and beautiful grounds attached, where he
purposes to enjoy for the remainder of his life, the large
fortune he has amassed by his indefatigable industry and
enterprising spirit. The theatre—which is wholly the
property of Mr. Batty—with the extensive stud, and
valuable menagerie of trained animals, harness, trap-
pings, scenery, machinery, properties, costumes, and
other appointments, valued at 30,0001., have been for
some time in the market—but no speculator has yet
come up to the large figure that has been placed upon
this fortunate house—in which two successive managers
have, within a comparatively short time, amassed large
tortunes.—Sunday Times, Oct. 24.
JERSEY GARRISoN.—The military and artillery force
at the garrison in Jersey is to be considerably aug-
mented. The militia force in Jersey is now 20,000
strong.
THE POST OFFICE.—A return has been made of the
yleBdslb!

ber of persons was 2,190, receiving 79, 906/.
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A SOLDIER OF THE 31ST
REGIMENT.—The Cork Constitution says:—"On Thurs-
day last, between two and three o'clock in the afternoon,
the body of a private soldier belonging to the above
regiment was found drowned in the River Blackwater,
Fermony. Some women are in custody on suspicion,
but it is feared the real perpetrators will not be brought
to justice."
EXPENSE OF PROSECUTING A MURDERER.--ITI the
annual accounts of the treasurer of the county of Oxford,
just published, it appears that the conviction and execu-
tion of Kalabergo, for the murder of his uncle, near
Banbury, cost tse county no less a sum than 3591. 3s ad.
A SIGN OF THE TIMES.—In the North British
Advertiser of last Saturday, there are advertisements for
nearly 80 situations vacant, whilst only seven persons
advertise for situations.
THE SYDNEY MAIL STEAM-PACKET.-080 Of the
passengers bound for Port Philip, who went out in the
Sydney mail packet which left Plymouth for Australia
on the 4th of August last, returned to England in the
Bosphorus. Ho refused to proceed any farther than the
Isle of Ascension, on account of the bad accommodation
for passengers on board the Sydney steamer.
DUBLIN REVISION LIST.—The revision of the Par-
liamentary list for the city of Dublin closed yester-
day, but, in consequence of the expiration of the
time prescribed by law for the revision, the list
of claims could not be gone into. The result,
so far as it goes, is highly favourable to the Con-
servative party, but a very different state of
things would exist, could an adjudication be had
on the claims, amounting to 7,500, and of which
nearly 6,000 are on the Liberal side. The assistant
barrister intimated his intention of bringing the matter
before the executive, with a view of having the anoma-
lous state of the law corrected.
TALLOW.—Letters from St. Petersburgh to the 18th
inst. report a further rise in tallow, 600 casks having
been sold at 121 r., and 122 r. being now the price de-
manded. There were 6,000 casks yet to arrive from the
interior, of which one-half at least would be delayed
until next season. Frost had already been experienced,
and there were scarcely any ships at Cronstadt.
[ADTERTISEHENT.]--THE ROYAL EXHIBITION.—A
valuable, newly-invented, very small powerful waistcoat
pocket glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person can be
seen and known 1 miles distant ; they answer every purpose
on the Race-course, at the Opera-houses ; country scenery
and ships are clearly seen at 12 to 14 miles; they are in-
valuable for shooting, deer stalking, yachting, to Sports-
men, Gentlemen, Gamekeepers, and Tourists.—To be had
at 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, observe, opposite the
York-hotel. Telescopes—A new and most important in-
vention in Telescopes, possessing such extraordinary powers,
that some, 3i inches, with an extra eye piece, will
show distinctly, Jupiter's Moons, Saturn's Ring, and the
Double Stars. With the same Telescope, weighing only three
ounces, can be seen a person's countenance 3 miles distant,
and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They supersede every
other kind for the waistcoat pocket, and are of larger and all
sizes, with increasing powers accordingly. Opera and Race-
course glasses, with wonderful powers; an object can be

YESTERDAY'S RACING AT NEWMARKET,
WITH lllE FIELDS FOR TO-MORROW.

In weather the most unpropitious, and on ground the
most sodden, was decided the great race of the meeting
yesterday. The racing commenced with the 501 Plate
for two•years-old and upwards, over the last three miles
of the 13. C. Morning Star, with Evening Star, Tick ton,
and Maria, in close contiguity, raced to the Duke's
Stand, where all had had enough but Maria and Tickton;
the latter then took a slight lead, and was challenged 50
yards from home by Maria, who, however, had not the
shadow of a chance, for Tickton went past the post pull-
ing double, although winning by only a neck. Morning
Star was beaten nearly a score of lengths; and Waver-
ley lost the third place by something like half-a-dozen
lengths more. The remainder, including Evening Star,
Fetid, and the Assault colt, unable to move in the dirt,
were left fur behind. The winner's easy victory found
him a new owner at 300 guineas, which, I fancy, he is
well worth.
In the races for the 10 says. Sweepstakes over the Cri-
terion course, Old Motley cut out the woilt until halt •
way up the cords, where Guy M.innering took the lead,
tied won cleverly by half a length; ilnislaiag
a good third and last.
The great race of the day next came en for decision,
and 31 compttitors came to the post to struggle for
superiority, no less than a &sten finding backers in the
ring. They got off well together at the first attempt,
and ran, in a compact body, to within 100 yards of the
Duke's Stand, without any toiling of consequence having
taken place. This was the rusuit of the badness of the
pace. At this point, however, it commenced with a
vengeance, the held beirg,in a very little time, scattered
all over the course. Just before reaching the Duke's
Stand, Bobbie .Nohie, clearing his horses, took a-bead
of two lengths, which he maintained for a short distance,
when the Knight of the Shire, who had been running
very forward, came out, passed him in a few strides,
went on by himself, and won with great ease by a couple
of lengths ; Bobbie noble beating Lady Evelyn, who
had been gradually drawing to the front for the last dis-
tance, by a length and a half. Babette was a good
fourth, a short half length dividing her and the
Lady ; Herbert an indifferent fifth. Azael, Weather-
gage, and Convulsion, had not the least chance,
the state of the ground having disposed of them
early. The pace, as might naturally be expected, was
bad; time, 2 min. 14 sec. Messrs. Payne, Greville, and
others connected with the winner's stable, wiu good
stakes. A portion of the aristocratic body likewise
throw in. Bookmakers, fur the most part, are said to
be losers. _ _ _ _

As many persons may have backed horses after they
were scratched, it may be useful to know the time when
they were struck out. At midnight, on Sunday, the for-
feit list was composed of the following names :—Her-
nandei, Ariosto, Officious, Uprbinger. Chief Baron
Nicholson, Adine, Flirt, Lady Amyott, Young Trouble-
some, Scarecrow, La Gazza Ladra, Cavan, Ammonia,
Dollond, Longinus, and Tureens. Previous to the read
ing of the list on Monday evening, the following were
the additional scratching. :—Glauca, Stilton, Neasham,
Hungerford, King of Trumps, Huthorpe, Ringleader,
The Italian, Musician, Old Euglish Oak, Athena Pallas,
Butterfly, Bit of Blue, Lindrick, Billy Bar, Plot, Tested,
Henrietta, Rachetee, Cotton Laoy, Termagant,Dividend,
Jessica, Cornelius, and Madeline. Between that time
and midnight Teddington, Truth, Allegro, Proctor,
Sally, Warfoot colt, King Pepin, and Kate, were also
added to the doleful list.

Yesterday morning, Eliza Middleton, Grey Tommy,
Miniature filly, High Sheriff, Miss Fanny, Lancaster,
Follow-me-Lads, Puritan, and Isabella, were the last
batch of unfortunates. The remainder were left in the
finale. _ _ _

A fine race between Janina, Heroine, and Ploughboy,
for the 10 soya. Stakes, over the last half of the Ab. M.,
terminated in favour of the first named, by only a head;
Heroine beating Ploughboy a short length for second
place, Lady Speedy a good fourth, and Needle fifth.
The Anonymous Letter and Leybourne ran very stale.
Sextus ran away with another Sweepstakes of 10
soya., over the same course as the previous race, beating
his only opponent, Vest, by three lengths.
The D.M. Selling Handicap Sweepstakes was likewise
a one-sided affair, Faux-pas waiting upon Presto into
the cords, and winning, when called upon, very easily
by two lengths.
The 15 cove. Handicap, over the T.Y.O , was won in
the most offhand style imaginable, by Child-of-the-
Mist; Dividend beating Knavery a length fo: second
place. The others were stalled off.
The D.I. Handicap Plate brought the day's sport to a
conclusion. They backed Cariboo against the field for
this race, but the dirt most effectually settled him before
they had run half the distance; Lerry Whent winning
by a length, Ilex obtaining second place. Cariboo,
Black Doctor, and Houiakin were somewhere or other I
presume, but certainly not within range of my optics.
The field for the Glasgow Stakes to-morrow will not
have more than three starters at the outside, namely,
Speed-the-Plough, West Australian, and Filbert; but
it is not unlikely that the Stakes will terminate in a
compromise and walk over. If it produces a race
Speed-the-Plough will, of course, beat West Australia,
and the latter do the like for Filbert.

The 50 sovs. Sweepstakes over the Ab. M. will be
contested by Glenavun, Nicotine, ono of Lord Exeter's,
and Pharold. Sylphine does not run. The fist and
second places will be filled by GLENAVON—wiam the
present state of the ground suits—and NICTuRINE.
Angelo, the Couspirvey Filly, Sittingbourne, and
Knight of the Garter 1 believe, run their respective
watches.

Kly digest of the Nursery Stakes will appear to-
morrow.
