placed in a field about half a voile to the left of Dunchurch. There
were about thirty-two fences of a moderate character and one brook
rather difficult. The first three entered the last field together,
Foreigner winning rather cleverly, by superior stoutness. Mid-
might fell, after clearing the brook, broke her back, and was killed.
2lanfred had two falls, nor did The Disowned, Vespasian, Scamp,
&c., escape. The race was for a Sweepstakes of 25 sous. each, with

The new coinage of Queen Victoria has been struck ;
but it is said not to be so tasteful or rich as might have been
expected. The effigy of the Queen is without any emblem of
sovereignty, quite plain ; and, though not a bad likeness, has
none of that intellectual character which a Lawrence or a
Chantry would have thrown into it. The reverse is a shield,
but its outline is not so rich or highly ornamented as that of
George IV., and appears much narrower.
We regret to announce the death of Lady Elizabeth
Russell, which took place on the 13th ult., at Aix, in Provence.
her Ladyship was the eldest and last surviving daughter of
the late Earl of Louth, and at her death was in her 86th year.
She is succeeded in all her titles (baronies of Athenry and
Delvin) and her estates by her only son, Thomas H. D.
Henry Sewell, grandson and heir, we believe, of the late
learned Sir Thomas Sewell.
On Saturday morning, so early as ten o'clock, the
Duke of Wellington was down at Blackwell, for the purpose
of inspecting the great western steam-vessel. His Grace,
tvho drove himself down, without any one accompanying him
except his footman, and a boy who sat on the dickey beside
him, expressed his admiration both of the dimensions and the
fitting-up of the vessel, which sails, it is said, for Canada on
the 27th inst.
The late accident to the Duke of Wellington's
plimton, which occurred while his Grace was going to join
Sir John Cope's hounds, was owing to his Grace letting fall
the reins whilst putting on his gloves. The Duke kept his
Seat, and called to a man who was at work on the road to stop
the horses, and he did so by holding his spade before them.
The illustrious Duke had a narrow escape.
MIITgOPOLIS IMPROVEMENTS.—Petitions, nu-
merously and respectably signed by the owners and occupiers
of houses and property in Holborn and its vicinity, have al-
ready been presented to the House of Commons, and others
are in preparation, suggesting the formation of a new street
along the east side of Lincoln's Inn-fields, instead of one
-which it is proposed to forma on the west side. Some tho-
roughfare of the kind is greatly needed, as there is no direct
(and_ scarce any indirect) junction between the great streets
Holborn and the Strand, except Chancery and Drury-lanes,
both extremely narrow and inconvenient, and nearly a quarter
of a mile apart.
