A good start was made at the first attempt, when Nep-
tunus, Carisbrook, and Fairwater led off, but before reach-
ing the stand Sister to Stafford, Rara Avis, and Ophelia
were in front, Lady Ripon being last. After rounding the
stable turn Fairwater passed the leading horses and im-
proved the pace, Sister to Stafford hit the rails and fell at
the Mile-post, Catisbrook and Millionaire took second and
third places at the Bridge turn, and the tail began to be
very long. Bombardier shortly afterwards ran into the
fourth place, and Lady Ripon entered the straight abreast
of him. Carisbrook then went nearly up to Fairwater,and
Lady Ripon dropped back beaten. Fairwater continued
her lead to the end, and won cleverly by a length; Bom-
bardier was a bad third, and Millionaire fourth. Corona
and Seville walked in; no other passed the post. We
lament to say that little Thomas's leg was broken in his
fall, but he was doing well at 6 o'clock, his limb having

VARIETIES.

(From Punch.)
DINNER PLATITUDES.

No matter how plain your cook may be, so long as your
dinner is well dressed.

A few compliments go agi eat way. A little savoury
pale is quite enough. Try too many, and you'll find they'll
prove heavy.
When the ladies retire from the dinner-table, it is not
usual for you (supposing you to be a gentleman) to retire
with them. In this instance the same law extends to the
mistress as to the servants :—" No Followers Allowed."
In the hands of an inferior artiste, whether an omelette
turns out good or bad is quite a matter of toss up. It is
the same with a pancake.

Keep ill-natured people from your table, as you would
sour fruit. They are sure to disagree with every one.

REVENGE i—Old Lady (who wasn't over and above
liberal with the fare)—" You'll take my boxes up the gar-
den, cabman, please " Cabman.—" Cert'nly, mann, if
you'll 'old my 'orse."

COUNTER-ATTRACTIONS, For the gentlemen, they
consist of good articles, moderate prices, and pretty girls;
and for the ladies, the counter-attractions consist of
"Enormous Failures I " " Alarming Sacrifices I " "Fear-
ful Bankruptcies !" " Awful Bargains I" and big-whiskered
shopmen, who have no right there at all, doing women's
work.

EXECUTION OF BECKHAM.—LIMERICK, Wea n
nesday.—Thomas Beckham, convicted at the late special
commission of the murder of Mr. Francis Fitzgerald, at
Kilmallock, on the 16th May, was this day executed in
front of the county gaol at a quarter past 12 o'clock. A
large concourse of people assembled to witness the execu-
tion. The unhappy man met his fate with great firmness,
and made a brief address to the assembled
multiu. Re
neither confessed nor denied his guilt. His address was of
a rambling character, but the point he seemed anxious to
make, and twice repeated was, that he did not die a stag or
a turncoat. He was the only one of all present who was'

unmoved.
ANOTHER IRRUPTION OF

metropolis
busy at their labour, they were alarmed by a sudden rush
of water into the works. A warning cry was in-
stantly raised, and the men made their escape in all
directions. So rapid, however, was the influx of
the water, that those at the bottom of the
works were up to their knees before they could extricate
themselves, and were obliged to leave their clothes and
tools behind them. In less than ten minutes the water was
15 feet deep, reaching up to the roadway, and displacing
and cracking the huge timber shores like matchwood. The
cellar s and basements of the houses at Battle-bridge were
speedily overflowed, and the utmost alarm prevailed. Upon
inquiry into the cause of this irruption of the water, it was
found that the storm-water pouring down from the high
land had broken through the wall of the diverting sewer at
the corner of Caledonia-street, York-road, and, finding its
way into the channel of the old sewer, had forced an en-
tranc into the railway works. In about an hour, the flow
of the storm-water having subsided, a body of labourers
were set to work to repair the breakage, which it is hoped
will be effected by an early hour this morning.
