METROPOLITAN COMMITTEE FOR OPPOSING
RUSSIAN AGRRESSION ON TURKEY.

At a meeting of the above committee, held at 82, Ox-
ford-street, on Saturday evening last, the following reso-
lutions were unanimously adopted.
1. That this committee earnestly hopes that the
friends of Turkey's independence in the several districts
of the metropolis will arrange for the holding of public
meetings at an early day to enable the inhabitants fully
and adequately to express their sense of the course the
British government should pursue to uphold the just
rights of Turkey to repel Russian aggression.
2. That this committee appeals to the British people
generally to hold meetings forthwith for the purpose
specified in the foregoing resolution ; and this com-
niittee would urge the propriety of all meetings being
summoned by the municipal or other local authorities,
on requisition of the ratepayers, or otherwise, to be
convened by the requisitionists where the authorities
may refuse compliance.—Signed on behalf of the com-
mittee.

SPORTING NOTES.

WARWICK AUTUMN MEETING.

The sport appointed to be decided to-morrow at War-
wick excites little interest ; it has occasioned no specu-
lation, and, indeed, so seldom is it mentioned that the
meeting appears to be utterly ignored by the betting
fraternity. The programme possesses few attractions,
it comprises five items, but the published list of entries
gives no promise of large fields or interesting races.
Foul weather, too, is likely to militate considerably
against the success of the gathering, diminishing the
attendance, and spoiling the sport.
The respective stables of Dawson and Osborne are
fully represented in the Great Warwick Handicap. One
of them will perhaps furnish the winner. The sticky
state of the ground, however, will give a material ad•
vantage to the old horses. Alp in particular is favour:,
ably weighted, and may be capable of " getting borne
successfully through the dirt. His running with Goor
kah at Liverpool strengthens this conclusion. John
Osborne may, however, deem the chance of his stable
companion, Angelo, preferable. Of Dawson's lot Annie
Sutherland is entitled to the precedence, and should ehe
be capable of getting over the heavy ground, she will
be one of the foremost of, if not the foremost competitor
in, the race. The winner will, I anticipate, be either
Alp or Annie Sutherland. Little Davie and May Del
stand next in my estimation.
The Leamington Welter Cup numbers fourteen accep•
tances. Agis, Titterstone, and Lady Isabel are the
most noteworthy names in the list. Village Lass and
Campstool are my "fancies" for the Committee Han&
cap. The other stakes close to-night. The races will,
commence each day at half-past one o'clock.
The Steeple Chases I shall dismiss without comment.
The literature of the turf is somewhat limited, and
perhaps rather insignificant in character. An attempt, •
however, is being made to increase and improve it. 4'
new sporting novel, entitled " Dick Diminy the Jockey,
is now in the course of publication. The first number
is before me ; it is graphically written, and the author
appears to be thoroughly acquainted with his subject.
He has plenty of materials at his command, and Ile
seems to use them judiciously and effectively. Th°
work promises to be highly entertaining, and not a little.
instructive to the uniniated turfite, and is calculated to
extend consilerahly to the already wide-spread reputed
tion of its author, "Priam" of the Racing Times.
