DEATH

has a speedy three years old in preparation for this
event io CONVULSION, who at 6st 51b will cut down
nearly all the three years old division, and not bo far off
winning. Ho has been backed by several persons who
know what they are about in general; and as they ex-
press the greatest confidence in him, I am inclined to do
so to some little extent also.
E. PARR'S

SANITA, 3 yrs, 6it 51b is not voila( to Convulsion.
WOOLOOT'S

PENMAN'S
ATHENA PALLAS, 3 yrs, Est 31b, is in the same pre-
dicament as the preceding.
WETHERELL'S

coaple—KOII•I-NOOR, 3 yrs, 6st 31b; a great pot at one
time for this race, now an outcast from the attentions of
the ring; and HENRIETTA, 3 yrs, sst 81b, a very in'
different specimen of horseflesh.
BOAST

has the aged MERRIMAN in training; who, notwith-
standing that he has but 6st 21b to carry, will be en•
tirely lc t in the race.

_
HORNSBY'S
FOLLOW ME LADS, 4 yrs, 6st 21b, is much tea Slow to
be of any use here.

G ODDING
has Sir W. Booth's AZAEL, 3 yrs, Est 21b, in train
for this race. When I made my first observaticns
the Cambridgeshire some wecls ago, I then remark•
that this horse would take a vest deul of beating. A
that time I looked upon him as only a mile horse; his
race at Bedford, however, proves that he can manage the
two miles equally well the one. I can but repeat my
first opinion of him, and .y in addition, that he will
take so much thrashing that those who perform the feat
can be ncne other than the placed horses.
Of tl.e remaining nom nations a few observations
will dispose satisfactorily of the lot. One of the
Boyce's has CAVAN, 3 yrs, 6st; and the other PEACOC%I
3 yrs, sst 31b; neither kJing of any account for this
race. _ _

DARLING will have PURITAN in the field, who at sst
12'1) will not improbahly run forward.
Hussey's SIR JOHN BARLEYCORN, 3 yrs, sst 101 b;
W. Day's TESTED, 3 yrs, sst Eilla; Percy's JULLIEN, 3

514 21b; and King's MADELINE, 3 yrs, sst 21b, ha►e one
and all but very moderate pretensions.
J3RAwN, under the care of Cleary, has an outside
chance, being weighted favourably at sst 51b.
To point my remarks, I am of opinion at this present
writing, that the following batch will include the names
of the i ending horse i in the fray ;—G!auea, Kingstont
Hobble Noble, Evadue, Convulsion, Azael, Alfred the
Great, Billy Bar, Plot, Varmint, and Dollond. EVADNS,
if meant, or, in her absence,

TH

E EQUINOCTIAL GALES.
These destructive winds, the forerunner of an
approaching early winter, have set in with truly fear-
ful severity. They have now prevailed along the
coast several days, blowing almost a hurricane from
the S.S.W., accompanied with an incessant fall of
rain inland, flooding the country and occasioning
incalculable mischief; while off many parts of the
coast vessels have, by the effects of the gale, been
wrecked, many lives perishing thereby.
In the Downs it has been most severely felt. Among
the many disasters that occurred, a ship called the
Elizabeth, M. Boynes, of Jersey, was wrecked on the
main between St. Margaret's Bay and Kingsdown.
It happened about 11 o'clock on Monday night. She
was last from Halifax, and was bound for Havre with
a cargo of mahogany. She reached close to her des-
tination when overtaken by the gales, and, losing her
sails, was blown away past her port. The master,
for safety, bore away into the Downs to escape from
the fury of the storm, where unfortunately it in-
creased tenfold, in the midst of which she drove ashore
in the spot abovementioned. The masts were in-
stantly cut away, and other means taken to preserve
the vessel from a wreck. Such, however, was found
to be impossible, and it was with great difficulty that
the lives of the crew were saved. Much doubt exists
as to any portion of the wreck being got off. In the
course of the same night several vessels, though hav-
ing two chains out, were swept from their moorings,
and were driven foul of others with great violence ;
booms, bulwarks, &c., were carried away, and other
mischief done. Upwards of a dozen ships lost their
cables, spars, &c., and were nigh being driven ashore
on the Groodwins. Off Dungeness, New Romney, and
Rye, four vessels, named the Laurel, of Whitby, the
Thomas and Ann from Dieppe, the llonoria for Lon-
don, and the William from Liverpool, were cast
ashore, and probably will become total wrecks. The
crews were providentially saved by taking to the
boats. Northward of the Thames, along the coast,
off Harwich, Aldborough, Yarmouth,' and Bridlington,
no fewer than thirty coasting vessels were driven
ashore, where, up to the last post, they remained,
without a chance of being got off. The appearance of
the weather last evening indicated a continuance of
the gales.

ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-EASTERN
RAILWAY.
An accident occurrea on the Tunbridge-Wells and
Hastings branch of this railway on Moridsy night. The
heavy rains during the day had flooded the line between
ricehurst and Etchingham, completely washing away
ballast and rails for a considerable distance, and this so
suddenly that the engine to which the accident occurred,
With the same driver, had passed over the spot only
three hours previously, at which time all was safe. On
returning from Tunbridge, however, with the 9.36 P.M.
train, the water had risen to some height above the level
of the rails, and before the danger was perceived the train
was thrown off the line on its side. The engine-driver and
fireman were jammed between the engine and tender
and there remained until assistance could be procured.
Fortunately, there were no passengers in the train, and
the guard being unhurt was able to go for assistance, but
so rapidly did the water accumulate that a circuit of
nearly three miles Lad to be mad© to get at the over-
thrown train. The engine-driver and fireman were ex-
tricated as quickly as possible, and conveyed to the
Tunbridge-.ells. Infirmary, where it wag ascertained
that the driver had escaped with some bruises and a
severe shaking; but the fireman was less fortunate, hav-
ing sustained a fracture of the thigh. Both are pro-
gressing favourably. All trains were, of course, stopped
between Ticehurst and Etchingham, and the traffic can-
not be resumed until the flood has subsided. A second
accident occurred about the same time, from a similar
cause, on the Ashford and Hastings branch, but happily,
in this case, no person was injured. A train which
had left Ramsgate in the morning was returning from
Hastings, but on emerging from the Ore tunnel it ran
into an immense body of water which had collected
there from the hills, and almost immediately left the
rails. Assistance was speedily procured, and the pas-
sengers returned unhurt to Hastings, where they re-
mained until noon of Tuesday, when the line having
been repaired they were conveyed safely to their desti-
nations.

THE MANCHESTER FREE TRADE BANQUET.--
From all quarters we hear that the leading Free-traders
theofis
the
country are sending in their names, to be added to_
mo-
nopoly, of vice-presidents of this great gathering of the foes of.
nopoly. When we state that, in the course of two days,
t
upwards of 120 of the largest employers of labour in his
district have signified their intention of rallying round
the
chairman on the platform that evening, we think we may
confidently anticipate one of the most spirited gatherings
that has ever been held in the far-famed Free-trade Hall.—
Manchester Examiner.
BUILDERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—A meeting
of e directors and committee of this useful institution was
held yesterday at their offices in New Oxford-street, for the
purpose of transacting the usual business of the charity. The
report states that there are now upon the funds 15 pensioners,
namely* 10 males and 5 females, and that there are a great
number of pressing cases waiting for admission. The fifth
annual dinner is fixed to take place on Thursday, the 14th
inst., at the London Tavern, when the president of the insti-
tution, Mr. Samuel Morton Peto, M.P., will preside.
SUICIDE or A MARINE.—William Attridge, one of
the Royal Marines, belonging to the Rodney, 92, Captain
Graham, C. 8., lying Queenstown, was found dead in the
well-room on Friday, having committed suicide, which he
effected by hanging. An inquest was held on body by
Mr. Coroner Foot, at Haulbowline, and, on the evidence of
the surgeon of the vessel, who stated that the deceased had
been for some time affected in his mind, the jury returned a
verdict that the deceased had committed suicide while la-
bouring under temporary insanity.
THE DUCHESS OF GLOUCESTER.—We del

Duchess purposes, we understand, to remain about a month.
