Caution to the Public against "Advertising
Tipsters,"

As horse-racing has long been the national sport of
land, and patronised and encouraged by the highest in the
land, we think it right to warn our readers and the public
against those professional " Advertising Tipsters" who live
upon the credulity of those who unthinkingly place confi-
dence in them. The following are a few examples, copied
from the columns of the Manchester Guardian, of their
pretended foreknowledge of the ultimate results in a greet
race :

THE ST. LEGER STAKES.

Sefton's Selection:—St. Leger winner at 40 to 1. Lord
Clifden, Ranger, and Queen Bertha have no chance.
Henry Hotspur, the great turf adviser (not the talented
writer for the Daily Telegraph), 5ay5......“ Wells will win the
St. Leger on the flyer I will send you, now at 30 to 1; Lord
Clifden has no chance." Again, the same worthy says:—
" Lay against Lord Clifden, Ranger, Golden Pledge, and
Avenger for the St. Leger, for these are the horses book-
makers get their farms and mansions out of, as they are not
in the hunt, and the winner is still at good odds.
As a climax to the above, we will give one more from a
Macclesfield "Bull" and leave our sporting readers to judge
for themselve3 1;500 —A Challenge to the World.—
St. Leger, a certainty; could carry 10 stone and beat Lord
Clifden ; pepper that gentleman and back my flyer. I
have the best things ever sent out for Cesarewitch and
Cambridgeshire, now at 100 to 1; will see 5 to 1, and win.
One week, 12 stamps ; one month, 30 ; season, is. 6d."

NEW DISCOVERIES AT POMPEII—A house has
been uncovered, which, to judge from the splendour
of its interior, and its almost entirely preserved furniture'
must have belonged to a very wealthy proprietor. The
triclinium .
(dining room) paved with mosaic, representing
a number of gourmandeses of the time. The completely
served table is covered with petrified remnants of dishes;
and around it are found three divans, or rather table-beds,
of bronze, richly adorned with gold and silver, upon which
reposed several skeletons. A great many precious jewels
were found near them. On the table stood, among other
ornaments, a very beautifully worked statue of Bacchus in
silver, with eyes of enamel, a collar of jewels, and precious
armlets.

A GALLANT very gallant and deter-
mined act was performed by Commander Edward
Wilmot, of the Euryalus, flag-ship of Admiral Kuper, on
the night of June 25 last. While the ship was at anchor
at Yokohama one of the marine sentries fell overboard, and
being encumbered with his full accoutrements instantly
sank, together with a seaman who had rushed overboard to
his assistance. Commander Wilmot, at this critical moment,
jumped overboard, and having dexterously placed himsel,
under the drowning men, brought them both to the surface
and safely on board. This is not the first act of the like
nature this gallant officer has performed, and his presence
on the spot, which was quiet accidental, was most fortunate
on this occasion in saving two valuable lit-es.

REPRESENTATION OF TAMWORTIL—We learn
that it is the intention of the Hon. Henry Cowper, brother
of Earl Cowper and captain of the Ist Herts Rifle Corps, to
be the Liberal candidate for the representation of Tamworth,
rendered vacant by the accession of Lord Raynham to the
peerage.—lTerts and _Essex Journal.

A portion of a Roman road has just been dis-
covered at Trier by some men engaged in digging a cellar.
It is six feet below the surface; its upper stratum is com-
posed of very hard pebbles laid down three feet deep, and
resting on blocks of limestone.
