Precisely at 22 minutes to the time set down for the start
(4 o'clock), Mr. Manning had completed his task of weigh..
ing out, and the 37 horses, with their riders, were exhibited
on the telegraph, which gave ample time to the members of
the ring to complete their books. The competitors having

taken their preliminary canters proceeded to the starting
post, accompanied with a violent storm of -wind and rain,
which lasted for some time. The start was protracted
through the weather and several breaking away, and it was
not until 4 40 the signal flag was lowered and the race com-
menced. On rising the hill they were seen stretched across
the course, Express lying in the centre, having a slight lead,
followed by Croagh Patrick on his whip hand, Reindeer,
Entremet, King of Diamonds, Black Lily, and the favourite,
the latter. running wide on the far side, the others, with
Lopcatcher, Lady Clifden, and Paul Clifford, with a lot of
others whose colours we were unable to make out, lying in
close attendance. In this way they ran to the road, where
Express was beaten, and Croagh Patrick took a decided lead
of a couple of lengths ; Canary, who appeared to run un -
kindly, and hung considerably, going on second, wide of her
horses, with Reindeer, King of Diamonds, Lopcatcher, Lady
Clifden,-and Paul Clifford following close in their wake to
the lower part of the stand, where Canary came out and
took the command, closely followed by Croagh Patrick, the
Baron's colt, and Reindeer, to which lot the race was left.
On reaching the centre of the stand Croagh Patrick was in
trouble, and was immediately after passed by King of Din-.
mends, who made his effort a few strides from the chair, but
failed to get up, and was beaten cleverly by half a, length,
three parts of a length separating the second and third, two
lengths between the third and fourth. Lopcatcher was fifth,
Lady Clifden sixth, Paul Clifford next, the others were
widely spread, and were pulling as they passed the chair,
the last of whom were Frailty, Doefoot, Brazenose, Saracen.

and Cadeau on the far side. After crossing the road Blue
Mantle increased his lead, and at the half distance New-
church gave way to Cadeau. Blue Mantle eventually won
in a canter by six lengths, and the second beat the third by

Repose made running at a good pace, followed by Egbert
and Highflyer, with Brown Stout and Violet in the extreme
rear. They ran thus until they had passed the Old Mile,
where Highflyer took second place, and Caledon went up to
Egbert. Repose dropped back before they reached the
Brick-kilns, and Egbert immediately afterwards went to the
front, and carried on the running into the straight, where
Repose bolted. Highflyer compounded below the distance,
when Bedouin and Brown Stout passed Egbert. A splendid
race with the pair ended in favour of Bedouin by a head,
Egbert finishing a bad third ; Caledon was fourth, High.
flyer fifth, and Violet sixth. Joskin broke down, and

Betting-7 to 2 each agst Witch of Endor and Sybil, 3
to 1 agat Mountain Buck, and 4 to 1 agst Repartee c.
Some time was lost in consequence of the fractiousness of
Hilly Grove, who repeatedly refused to face the starter; on
the first occasion he jumped into the road. At last the flag
was lowered, and they left the post in close company
Mountain Buck having a slight lead, waited upon by Re-
partee c and Witch of Endor, the others lying up. In this
way they ran to the stand, where Repartee c made an at-
tempt to reach the leader, but failed, and was defeated very
cleverly by half a length, a length separating the second and
third; Fitzßuyter was fourth, and Hilly Grove neat; the
others beaten off. The winner was claimed by Lord
Anglesey.

MIDDLE LEVEL INUNDATIONS.

LYNN, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

After the bursting of the coffer dam, a little more
than a week ago, it was arranged not to drop in the
panels again, but this arrangement was afterwards
modified, and it was determined to adopt both the
principle of pile driving and panneling. It was
found that the panels could not be driven to a suffi-
cient depth to prevent the water from scouring be-
neath them, so it was resolved to drive sheet piling
into the soil in the stays, and drop the panels into
them. The work has been carried on during the
last few days, the piles having been driven to a good
depth by means of the steam engine, and then at a
certain height the crosscut saw is got into use, and
the piles are cut down to a certain level, it being
intended now to drop the panels on to the top of the
ni Lan ThAril lEt a much greater nrobabilitv of the
dam standing now than there was at the former
trial, but it is even now questioned if the effort
will be successful. The shores are very much
strengthened, and a great many thousand sacks of
gravei, which have been used instead of earth, have
been dropped on either side of the dam, whilst very
many hundred trucks of puddle have been deposited
in the centre of the frame work. It is believed that
both the ebb tides and the flood tides have carried
the sacks away, whilst the puddle has in a great
measure been mixed up by the fall of water and the
great scour and carried away. It is even said that
some thousands of the sacks have been washed three
miles and a half up the cut and on to the land.
More than 100,000 sacks of earth have, up to the
present moment, been thrown into the dam, and the
other day I saw a very large stock more arrive, seve-
ral hundreds of man being engaged in filling them.
The interest of these works for the sight-seer
does not diminish ; several packets have arrived this
week from Lincolnshire heavily freighted with
human beings who have come over to see the sight.
Yesterday the [mayor and corporation of Boston
came in a large and commodious packet, and the
party proceeded to the sluice.
During the progress of the works there have been
numbers of trivial accidents, but only one which has
proved fatal.

The leakage through the banks consequent upon
the recent rise of water upon the land inundated
continues to increase daily. It appears that this
rise of party is partly owing to the manner in which
the proposed coffer-dam is being carried out and
partly to the fact that the middle level waters are
now continuously discharged upon this doomed
country by the doors of Well-creek sluice being
kept up. The greatest dissatisfaction is expressed
by the occupiers of the lands actually under water
and those adjacent at the unsatisfactory progress of
the coffer-dam and other Works.

graphic communication by the Euphrates and
Persian Gulf.

"I must say, in common justice to those who
joined me in advocating the line through Asiatic
Turkey and the Persian Gulf, and in predicting the
failure of the Red Sea route, and who went to the
expense of having a company incorporated by
special Act of Parliament after having had their
plans investigated and reported upon by a com-
mittee of the House of Commons, of which Lord
Stanley was chairman, and who have at this mo-
ment a large quantity of telegraph stores at Bagdad,
that, had circumstances admitted of their views
being carried out when first brought forward,
£BOO,OOO of the public would have been saved from
following the golden wheels of Pharoah's chariot,
and we should long ere this have been enjoying all
the political and commercial advantages of efficient
telegraph communication between England and
India.—l am, &c.,
