as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has so far given,...
and declines to allow himself to be dragged at'i •
chariot wheels of Mr. O'Connell, with the r.
rout of the great mendicant's supporters. He mit
done more he has given them a rebuke, which
will take them some time to digest. On the occa-
sion of a late visit paid by his Lordship to
Lady Osborne, of Clonmel, an address was pre-
sented to him signed by almost every respectable
inhabitant of the neighbourhood, tendering the heartfelt
congratulations of the subscribers on his visit to that
town, declaring their impression of the importance of
" maintaining in full vigour the connection so happily
subsisting between this country and Ireland," and
" hailinc, his Lordship's Government as exhibiting the
inestimable advantages of justice being administered
with firmness and impartiality to all parties." These sen-
timents were most graciously responded to by his
Lordship, who avowed his " cordial satisfaction," at
" the expression of their desire to maintain in full
vigour the connexion happily subsisting between
Great Britain and Ireland." The address was signed
by several of the leading Whigs of the neigh-
bourhood, including Lord Kinffsborough, Lord Lis-
more, and the Bishop of Waterford and Cashel,
and contained, consequently, no political allu-
sions whatsoever. The offence of having not only
expressed their approval of the British connec-
tion, but evaded all mention of Lord Normanby,
excited a strong sensation among the Repealers of
Clonmel against its authors. They set to work there-
fore, and prepared an address more in accordance with
their. taste than that which bad been presented by their
fellow-townsmen. What its contents were we are un-
able to say ; for, on its being shown to Lord Ebrington
by the deputation who undertook its presentation, his
Lordship refused to have anything to do with it.

NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING.
(Further Particulars of Tuesday.)
h:,.ndicap.—This race was entirely confined to the threw
laced, and was well contested from the new ground to
ttsre os t where All-Fours obtained a slight advantage, im-
' Peg' n the run in, and won rather elevcrly by halt&
pength ; St. t Cray roved it
was a good third. There were three or
l
four false starts.
—The favourite took the lead ket it Buckenham Sfax.
and won cleverly by a .
Grand Duke Michael ,§takes.—Ephemeron and Bosphorus
had a race to themselves at ba..l speed, to the bushes, where they
gave up, and Euclid went on with the running at a good space,
!Ether following him to the cords, whew he challenged; the
struggle up hill to the chair was beautiful, and ended in a dead
heat.

De&ding Heat.—Euclid went off went off pith the lead at a
good steady pace, was never caught, and wo,'► cleverly by a
length ; JEther was beaten at the foot of the hill. Mr. Thorn-
hill declared to win with Ephemeron.
Hopeful Stakes.—lt was not until fifteen or sixteen false
starts, and the loss of at least an hour, that Raymond and Ten-
Pound-Note, the " ring-leaders," were prevailed upon to go.
and then the former repented so hastily that he never reached
his horses. In the actual race Ten-Pound-Note, Jeffy, Firefly,
Perseus, and sister to Cara, were first off, the former leading
for nearly half the distance ; she then gave place to Crucifix,
who went en with the running, was never after head.2d, and
won easy by a length, notwithstanding an indifferent start. In
the struggle up to the ropes Jeffrbeat Capote for second place by
about halt a length, the Colonel filly and Ten-Pound-Note
being next—both well up. These four had followed the favou-
rite from the time she took the lead. Behind them were
Hellespont., sister to Cara, Firefly, and Perseus, the latter
making the worst figure of the lot. This is the fifth race in
which Crucifix has proved victorious, having successively car-
ried tub, 51b, 71b, and 91b extra in the last four. Lord G.
Bentinek declared to win with Capote.
In the Sweepstakes walked over by Lord Tavistock's filly, his
Lordship divided the forfeits with Colonel Peel.
In the course of the afternoon the following bets were made
on the Derby :-
15 to 1 agst Lord Jersy's Muley Ishmael.
30 tol agst Mr. Greville's Perseus (taken before his race.)
32 to I agst Mr. Rayner's sister to Cactus colt (taken.)
33 to 1 agst Duke of Rutland's Crazy Boy (taken. )
35 to 1 agst Mr. Wreford's Margellina cult (taken. )
In consequence of the late hour at which the races finished
no ring was formed in the evening.
The attendance generally was numerous, and of the higher
class particularly, much above the average of a first October
meeting. The weather was delightful, bright and mild, and
the sport of a character which could not fail to gratify the spe-
culators. The false starts, however, proved excessively annoy-
ing, and there can be no doubt that they will prevent many
gentlemen from entering their horses for two-yr-old half-mile
races in future.
A list of arrivals in our next.
