DONCASTER RACES.

Doncaster, Monday Night.
The prospects of the meeting continue unfavourable ; and,
notwithstanding the exertions of those to whom its manage-
ment is intrusted, there is every reason to fear that the inha-
bitants will meet with an indifferent return for their pains and
expenditure. The weather throughout this morning was
gloomy and vvetv and the arrivals unusually scanty ; the short.
ness of the company, perhaps, is to be attributed as much to
the attractions held out by the Birmingham Musical Festival
as to the influeace of the weather and the comparatively little
interest existing or. the St. Leger. The races were appointed
to commence at halflust two o'clock, by which time a favour-
able change had occurred in the weather; the rain ceased, the
sky assumed a more cheerful aspect, and the remainder of the
day was as fine as could have been desired. The wet, how-
ever, had made the course heavy, aid the different approaches
to it were ankle-deep in mud. The company present, if short
of the usual average, was very fair, considering all things ; it
included, besides many others whose names we had not time
to ascertain, the following fashionables :—Duke of Leeds,
Duke of Cleveland, Earl Wilton, Earl of Chesterfield, Earl
and Countess of Lichfield, Earl Suffield, Lord G. Bentinck,
Count Bath any, Earl of Meiborough, Lord Leveson, Lord
Petre, Lord Newburgh, Sir L. Glyn, Sir J. Kaye, Sir J.
Burke, Sir J. Baird, Sir M. Farquhar, Sir T. Sykes, Sir T.
Winchoote, Hon. F. Simile, Hon. Colonel Anson, Hon. G.
Byng, Hon. Mr. Boyle, General Sharpe, Colonel Peel, Co.
lone! Hill, Colonel Hawkins, Colonel Hancox, Colonel
Thompson, Colonel Cradock, Colonel Craufurd, Captain
Taylor, Captain Ewbank, Captain Smart, Captain Fairlic,
Captain White, Captain Yea, Captain Ponsonby, Major
Tempest, Major Rickaby ; Messrs. C. Wilson (father of the
Turf), Thornhill, Greville, Payne, Portman, Hunter, Etwall,
Houldsworth, R. Peel, Higgins, F. Chariton, Dolphin, Bowes,
Bentinck, Williams, Greene, B. Sheridan, Ponsonby, Lum-
ley, S. Fox, Entwistle' Heywood, &c. There are several
foreign Noblemen and Gentlemen present whose names we
shall include in a more complete list towards the end of the
week. The following return of the afternoon's sport will
show that it was not over abundant, that the fields were small,
and the races not very well contested.

agst Miss Fanny.
After one false start the lot got off in good order. The
Fairy Queen with a strongish lead, followed by Barbarina,
behind whom were the favourite and the Miss Fanny colt ;
they ran in this order till near the distance, n here the Apol-
lonia filly was beaten off, Charley Boy at the same time show-
ing symptoms of, distress. A few strides more and the race
was over—the favourite came out, was clear of his horses be-
fore they reached the stand, and won in a canter by two
lengths; the struggle for places between the next three was
so close that the honour of being second was obtained by a
neck, the Fairy Queen obtaining a similar advantage over
Miss Fanny ; Charley Boy ran uncommonly stout, and was at
the latter's quarter's at the finish.
The Queen's Plate of 100 guineas. For 3 year old, 7st. 91bs ; 4
yrs, 9st. 91b ; 6 yrs and aged, lOst. Four riles.

Batting—Even on Wentworth, 2 to 1 agst Mic Mac, 5 to I agst
Capulet, and 6 to 1 agst King of Rome.
Wentworth led at a slow pace for nearly haly a mile, and
then resigned to Mic Mac, contenting himself with second
place till they reached the distance post in the last round,
where he went up, defeated Mic Mac in a short struggle, and
won by his own length rather cleverly. Capulet was beaten
several lengths, and the King of Rome by only a distance.
THE ST. LEGKR (Tills RAT).

Mr. Osbaldeston's Blakey Topping... Chapelle or Rogers
The Robin Huod colt not expected to run, ar,d some doubts
exist as to Blakey Topping. It is not at all improbable that
the appointment of the jockeys for Epirus, Puff, Mahometan,
and Blakey Topping will be altered, as both Scott and Ro-
binson will take their choice. Darling is allowed the same
privilege with Lord Exeter's two.

Yesterday, whilst one of those itinerant bands which
are met with so frequently in the streets were performing
in Clerkenwell-green, a large concourse of people had as-
sembled, when a fine child, who, with a number of others,
were at play, was driven over by the chaise of Mr. Dews-
napp, of Castle•street, and frightfully crushed. Not the
slightest blame is attached to the driver, who expressed the
greatest concern at the event. We believe no hopes are
entertained of the child's recovery.

A poor Yankee, on being asked the nature of his
distress, replied, "that he had five outs and one in--,to wit,
out of money, and out of clothes, out at the heels, and out
at the toes ; out of credit, and in debt."

The Secretary to the London and Birmingham
Railway Company has offered a reward of 5/. for the disco-
very of the person who flung a stone, by which one of the
passengers was severely wounded, whilst the train was
passing between the Hampsteadqoad and Perk street, on
Sunday evening last.
The first china, or rather the first imitation of it,
was made in England at Chelsea, in 1752 ; it was of a
bluish hue, and held in much estimation for some time, as
was also that manufactured at Bow, in 1758 ; but, from the
great improvement in the article made at Worcester and
other places, the original manufactories have ceased.
On Thursday the Reformers of Dover, Deal, Sand-
wich, Walmer, &c., dined together at the Royal Oak, to
celebrate the return of Sir T. Troubridge, Bart., and Sir
J. R. Carnac, Bart., as well as the triumph obtained over
Tory influence, backed by the power of the Lord Warden
of the Cinque Ports. Captai❑ Harvey, in the absence of
Captain Boys, filled the chair, and presided over the busi-
ness of the evening. The following toasts were drunk :
The Queen, the Duke of Sussex, and Lord Melbourne.
The healths of Sir Thomas Troubridge and Sir 5. Carnac
having been given, those Hon. Members addressed the
electors,_and declared their attachment to the principles of
reform. The evening passed off in the most animated and
joyous style.
