At a meeting of the Jockey Club, held on Wednesday in the
Houghton Meeting, the following resolutions were passed :
" That in case any objection to the qualification of a horse,
on the ground of incorrect pedigree cr nomination, to be made
before the race is run, the Stewards shall have the power of or-
dering that the settlement on such race shall be suspended until
the objection shall have been investigated; but if such objec
ti.n be made after the race, it shall not affect the bets,_ which
must go with the horse that conies in first, provided that he is
of the right, and not otherwise disqualified by the laws of
racing.

" That Rule 44 of the Jockey Club should stand as follows ;
Every person who shall ride for a race at Newmarket
shall be weighed immediately-after the same, and shall be
allowed 2lbs above the weight specified for his horse to
carry, and no mere, unless the weight he actually rode
Ise declared as the weight he intended to ride ; and if any
horse shall carry more than 21bs above his weight without a
declaration having beeti made by the jockey or the owner of
the horse, or by his servant, to the Steward or the keeper of the
match-book at least one hour before the time fixed for the first
race of the day, then such horse shall not he considered the win-
ner of the race, even though he should come in first, but shall
be placed as the last horse in the race, and his owner shall pay
the stakes for a beaten horse ; and whether the horse come in
first or not the jockey shall be tined 51. for his neglect, and shall
not be allowed to ride in a public race at Newmarket untii the
said fine be paid.'
" That Rule 37, concerning horse-racing in general' be re-
pealed, and the following substituted :
" A horse walking over, or receiving forfeit, except for a
match, shall be declared a winner.'

" That all forfeits or money paid on compromising any match
or sweepstakes shall bona-fide be entered in the day book, in
order that all betters may ascertain in what proportion they are
to pay and receive.
" That no rule, or alteration of a rule of the Jockey Club shall
take effect till it has been published in the Racing Calendar, un-
less specially ordered to the contrary at the time the said rule or
alteration is adopted."

LITERATURE.

IJEMANS'S POEMS. VoL. VI.
Blackwood, Edinburgh, I 839.
_ .

The present volume of this republication of the
poems of one of our most popular modern authors,
contains " Songs of the Affections" which she
always ranked among the happiest of her produc-
tions ; " National Lyrics ;" and a variety of mis-
cellaneous poems, among which are those two
beautiful little pieces, the " Two Voices," and the
" Parting Ship," both of which are familiar, no
doubt, to the generality of our readers. The volume
is embellished with a striking Plate engraved by
Kernot, from a sketch by Mrs. Hemans, and repre-
senting the " Bridge over the Clwyd, near St.
Asaph." Considering the superior style in which
this edition is got up, it is singularly cheap in
price ; and we are glad to learn that it is popular.

DAVENPORT'S HISTORICAL CLASS-
BOOK. Re'le, London, 1839.

A very serviceable school-book, containing nu-
merous extracts from the works of modern histo-
rians, divided into short reading lessons, and well
calculated to arrest the attention of young people.
The compiler observes in his preface, " the selec-
tions have been made with the most scupulous care,
both as to purity of thought and propriety of dic-
tion, in order that the work may may be placed with the
utmost confidence in the hands of youth of both
sexes." To this praise the Historical Class-Book is
fully entitled.
