THE FATE OF RACING HORSES.-Kmbo, the
fastest mile horse of his day, and that won the Elolywell
Mostyn Stakes three years in succession, was consigned to
drag an opposition coach that ran through Shrewsbury.
When no longer capable of that, he was degraded to yet
lower labour, and was at length found dead in a ditch from
absolute starvation. Hit or-Miss, a good racer, was,
dui tug the last years of his life seen dravi. in. coal in a
Higgler's cart in the same trail Ma•ueluke is at this
time drawing a cab in the streets of the metropolis ; and
Guildford, after having won for his difforent owners 17
years, was afflicted with incurable stringhalt, and was sold
at a repository for less than 4/. Thence the hero of the
turf was doomed to an omnibus. There he was cruelly
used, the spasmodic convulsion that characterizes stringhalt
sadly aggravating his torture. The skin was rubbed from
his shoulders ; his hips and haunches were bruised in every
part, and his stifles were continually and painfully corning
in contact with the pole. In this situation he war, sent by
the veterinary surgeon (tlbe author himself) to the So-
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and bought
in order to be slaughtered.— Yount/.
Yesterday morning, about half-past six o'clock,
two men who were on Broken Wharf, Thames-street, dis-
covered a body floating down the river with the tide.
After some difficulty it was got on shore, when it proved
to be that of a man, who had a silk umbrell., grasped
tight in his left hand. Information of the circumstance
was immediately given to the Beadle of St. Mary Somer-
set, and on searchinc, the body, a pint bottle of sherry
wine was found in his coat pocket, eleven shillings and
some copper, and a valuable silver hunting watch, which
was going. The deceased, who has every appearance of
having been a gentleman, is about five feet eight or nine
inches in height, stout made, black hair and whiskers, and
is attired in a black frock cost (nearly new), striped va-
lencia waistcoat, with bright buttons, and black trowsers,
with a small darn on the left knee. His shirt is
marked G. G., No. 1." He appears to be, about thirty-
five years of age. The bottom part of the shirt•was per-
fectly dry, so that coupling that with the fact of the watch
going, it appears that the unfortunate man could not have
been in the water but a very short time. The body has
been removed to the church, to be owned, and to await a
Coroner's Inquest.

The Central and North of London Temperance
Society held their annual tea meeting yesterday at the
London Tavern, Bishopsgate• street. The splendid ball-
room, dinner-rooms, and saloon were thrown open on the
occasion, and, at five o'clock, upwards of 500 gentlemen
and ladies sat down to tea. Numerous speeches were
made in praise of temperance by Mr. Dunlop, of Hamp-
stead, Mr. Andrews ot Leeds, Mr. M'Curdy, of Liver-
pool, and other members of the Society. It was calcu-
lated that not less than 1,000 persons attended on the
occasion.

SUDDEN DEATH IN A STAGE COACH.—On
Tuesday evening, a gentleman, an inside passenger in the
Cornwallis coach, from Manchester to Leeds and Wake.
field, was suddenly taken ill, near Slaithwaite. The only
other inside passenger called out, " Stop, coachman ;
here's a gentleman sick." This was within a hundred
yards of the inn at Slaithwaite; and, when the coachman
pulled up there, it was found that the gentleman had ex.
pired. At first it was not known who he was; but, from
letters in his pockets, and other circumstances. he was
recognised shortly afterwards as Mr. William Naylor, a
member of a mercantile house having establishments both
at Liverpool and Wakefield. We understand that he
left Liverpool by the twelve o'clock train on Monday, and
that at Marsden he was spoken to by a gentleman to
whom he apologised for not quitting his seat, alleging
that he was rather poorly.—Manchester Guardian.
ABRAM DUNCAN IN LOVE.—The following
appears in the diary of Mr Duncan, who is engaged as a
Missionary from the National Convention in Cornwall.
lie dates from Carnborn :—" Went to the eve tog to the
tit thodist. Church. Mr. DUI). late of Elinburgh, offici.
1 he people arrange themselvt-s in a duff rent manner
here from what I have tittnessed before. In the under
area of the church the females occupy the one side of the
church, and the men the other. In the gallery both sexes
arc mixed. At prayers the people kneel. The responses
to many parts of the prayer were vulgar and out of place.
Not so with the sweet angel I knelt beside. She fe:t awed
in the more immediate presence of her Maker, and her
profound reverence threw a beauty and chasteness over her
devotional piety. She seemed the personification of intel-
lectual and morel purity. I could not help feeling that
having such a companion for a wife would be the means of
smoothing the thorny path of life which a polNeml aeitator
has to tread. Her speechless eloquence for his weakness
and errors would tn. all-powurful Ali ti, Li- of the
Eternal I"—Scottish Pilot.
