CHELTENHAM TRADESMEN'S AND INNKEEPER'S CEP.—
The owner of the second horse in this race claimed 100 sovs.,
under the clause in the article " Goodwood Cup \Weights and
Conditions ;" but it was contended on the part of the winner
that these words applied only to those conditions which affected
the weights. The case was referred by the Steward to the
Stewards of the Jockey Club, who gave their opinion that it was
not the intention of the article of the Cheltenham Cup that the
owner of the second horse should receive 100 sovs.

NEW MAP OF IRELAND.---Mr Wyld, of
Charing Cross, has just brought out a map of Ireland,
which has created quite a sensation in that country.
One newspaper hails its appearance as a proof of the
growing consequence of the sister island, and the in-
terest the Irish nation is exciting in the public mind.
" The map," it adds, " is characterized by fidelity and
minuteness of delineation." The mountains, lakes, and
rivers, cities, towns, and villages, and even gentlemen's
seats, and roads, canals, and railways, are distinctly laid
down. We believe it has been compiled chiefly from
the Government survey. It is in six sheets, on a scale
of about four miles to the inch, and is ornamented with
a superb view of the Giant's Causeway.
BURGLARY IN THE LONDON DOCK.--A bur-
glary was committed in the eastern London Dock be-
tween six o'clock on Saturday night and twelve o'clock
on Sunday morning, by some thieves breaking into the
cabin of the ship Fortitude, Captain John Fewle corn
mander, which was left unprotected. The burglars
effected an entrance into the cabin by getting down the
skylight on deck, and obtained admission to the state-
room, where they broke open one of the side cabins,
and forced in the panel of a locker in which was depo-
sited a chest of silver plate worth nearly 1001., belong-
ing to the captain. The plate-chest was forced, and
every article it contained, except a soup-ladle and two
gravy-spoons, stolen. The thieves also carried off a
cheque for 301.. a towel marked J. Fowle," a pair of
trousers, and some other articles. The thieves could
only hai'e got out of the dock with the property (a pass
being required with everything operly carried) by stow-
ing it about their persons ; and there is no doubt the
soup-ladle and gravy-spoons were left behind because
tbey could not be conveniently secreted about the per-
son. The plata is of the King's pattern, and marked
with the initial " F." The robbery must have been
effected by persons well acquainted with the ship.
To-morrow is the day for taking out annual
licenses by bankers or other persons issuing promissory
notes for money payable to the bearer on demand and
allowed to be re issued.
THE EGLINTON BANQUET.— It has now
been officially announced that the banquet to the Earl
of Eglinton is to take place at Irvine, on Tuesday, the
29th of October. William Gillies, Esq., Provost of
Irvine, is to be chairman.
" Do make yourselves at borne, ladies," said a
female to her visitors one day, " I am at home myself,
and wish you all ware."

POETICAL NOTICE.—" The poets," says the
Buffalo Journal, " are not all dead," and gives this
ex.imple :—The Niles (Michigan) Inlelligencer pub-
lishes a call for a meeting of the citizens to repair a
" Corduroy" coad near that place, and compels the
muses to second the call in the following, stanza :
" Those who would travel it,
Should turn out and gravel it ;
For now it's not passable,
Not even jackassable."

I once heard a boy, who, being rebuked by a
clergyman for neglecting to go to church, replied that
he would go if he could be permitted to change his seat.
" But, why do you wish to change your seat ?" said the
minister. " You see," said the boy, " I sit over the
opposite side of the meeting-house ; and between me
and you there's Judy Vicars and Mary Staples, and half
a dozen other women, with their mouths wide open,
and they get all the best of the sermon, and when it
comes to me it's pretty poor stuff."—Fireside Educa-
tion, by P. G. Goodrick (Peter Pa)ley).
THE ROMANCE OF PRIVATE LlFE.—Miss
Burney's new novel, entitled " The Romance of Pri-
vate Life,"is now published, and its extraordinary in-
terest and attraction will more than reply to the ex-
pectations which its announcement excited. It will
prove especially acceptable at this dull season of the
publishing year to that numerous class of readers who
depend on the circulating library and the reading club
for their intellectual food—on account of the intense
curiosity which its admirably conducted plot is calcu-
lated to call forth. But, in connexion with this great
element of popularity, it unites qualities of a much
higher cast, which will command for it a permanent
rank amongst the most vigorous and spirited, yet de-
licate and subtle delineations of real life and manners
that have illustrated the literature of our day.

DERRY FLAX MARKETe— Complaints have
reached us respecting an irregularity in the weighing of
fl ix at the stores, at some of which it is said the persons
employed in weighing the flax use a species of favourit-
ism to the injury of others, who, although they may
happen to sell early in the morning, are nevertheless de-
tained before being paid beyond the time of persons who
do not dispose of their flax till perhaps near the middle
of the day. Whether these accounts are well or ill
founded we will not take upon us to say ; but we know
that it is only necessary for us to bring the matter be-
fore the notice of the flax merchants, in order to induce
them to have the regulations respecting the delivery of
flax carried into full effect, so that in future no grounds
for complaint may exist.—Londonderry Sentinel.
STALE I NG.-This offence, formerly unknown in
England, is now of almost daily oceurronce. Any crime
more abhorrent to genuine English feeling, it is scarcely
possible to name, and the perpretator ought, in all cases,
to be branded by a mark of indelible disgrace. It has
been proved in almost all instances that the use of the
knife in these acts of vengeance has been caused by
drunkenness, and that the quarrels have arisen chiefly
in public-houses, where ardent spirits are sold.
ANECDOTE OF HANDEL.—WhiIe Marylebone
Gardens were flourishing, about the year 1738, the en-
chanting music of Handel, and probably of Arne, was
often heard there. One evening Handel was walking
with a gentleman when a new piece was struck up by
the band. " Gomm, Mr. Vontaine," said Handel,
" let us zit down and listen to this biece ; I want to
know your opinion of it." Down they sat, and after
some time the old parson, turning to his companion,
said, " It is not worth listening to, it's very poor stuff."
" You arc righd, Mr. Vontainc, it is very poor stuff, I
thought zo when I vinished it." The old gentleman,
being taken by surprise, was beginning to apologise, but
Handel assured him there was no necessity ; that the
music was really bad, having been composed hastily, and
his time for its production limited, and that the opinion
was as correct as it was honest.—Musical World.
