NEWS FROMO(WMARKET.
The July Meeting pr ises to be unprecedentedly
dull ni
and unteresting. To-day the proceedings were
marked by no incident of sufficient importance to rouse
the " Ring" into activity. The absence of Ruby and
, the insignificant field weakened the attraction which
once centred in the July Stakes. Only three events
"stood," the first race being at a quarter past three,
and the last at a quarter past four ! Indeed the paucity
of sport deterred many intending visitors from znaking
a journey to head-quarters. Even the "Leviathan"
changed his mind after he arrived at the Shoreditch
station this morning, in order to proceed to Newmarket.
He then suddenly resolved to go to Worcester, where
there was at least a satisfactory promise of sport. He
• endeavoured to persuade others to accompany him, but
was unsuccessful, and departed alone, post haste, to
catch the 9.30 a.m. express train.
Scarcely 20 metropolitan speculators were present on
the heath, and there was even a marked diminution
in the attendance of the customary through-thick-and-
thin supporters of Newmarket. The racing requires
little observation. The proceedings commenced with a
Handicap Plate, for which Cheddar was the favourite.
He was, however, beaten by Petrel, after a very fine
race. Indeed, at the winning post, the four competitors
might have been covered with an ordinary sized blanket.
Prior to the race, much delay occurred, before Petrel's
number was placed on the telegraph board, Charlton,
who had been engaged to ride him, not arriving at the
weighing stand, until within a very few minutes of the
time appointed for the start.
The defeat of Cheddar somewhat discouraged the
backers of Astolfo, and evidently shook their confidence.
The result of the July Stakes was a sore disappointment.
Astolfo ran in front until breasting the hill, when he
was beaten, and from the wide manner in which be
" finished," I am inclined to believe that his disposition
is somewhat currish. Marsyas won cleverly by a neck
the same distance, separating Astolfo from Mirabeau.
Calliope was last. Her running was regarded with some
suspicion ; in my opinion it afforded no trustworthy
criterion of her racing ability. Indeed I was informed
that during the morning something had happened to her,
but I was unable to ascertain whether this report was
founded on truth. The moderate quality of the field
' for the July Stakes admits of no
The result of the , 4., . • the son'tZtest or the -
formation 1. - in 270.8ua- on Monday.
I-then cautioned-my readers not to place implicit con- • • • -
fidence in rumours, and stated that Astolfo's reported
favourable trial was "regarded in certain well-informed
quarters with suspicion," and that at Newmarket it was
" entirely diScredited." I also stated that " since Mar-
syas ran at Stockbridge he had gradually advanced into
much favour, and that many shrewed judges deemed
his chance of carrying off the July Stakes by no means
insignificant !"
Nothing has occurred to induce me to alter my °pi-
' nion on the probable issue of the Chesterfield. I expect
either Brother to Mountain Deer or Lady Audrey to
win. The field is likely to be numerically strong.
Much interest and curiosity is being excited at New-
market by an announcement that a portion of the furni-
ture and other property belonging to Mr. James
Robinson, the jockey, arc to be sold by auction on
Friday next. Among the lots to be disposed of are
several valuable paintings by Mireland and Herring.
Mr. Robinson is now a confirmed cripple, having frac-
tured his thigh by falling from his horse in the early
part of last season. He has commenced business as a
trainer, and the success and popularity which are likely
to attend him in his new capacity will be commensurate
with the deservedly high character which he has enjoyed
for so many years.

On inquiry I find that Ninnyhammer's death was
caused by the adhesion of the liver to the side.
Eatwell, the jockey met with a very severe accident
whilst riding at Dymchurch on Monday.

DETERMINED SUICIDE AT ROTHESAY.— On Wednes-
day, a labouring man, named Pike or Pink, committed
suicide under extraordinary circumstances in one of the
cells of the prison of Rothesay. The deceased, who
was addicted to habits of intemperance, had occasioned
some disturbance on the streets of the town on the
night previous, in consequence of which he had been ap-
prehended and placed in confinement on the morning of
Wednesday. In the course of an hour or so after he had
been locked up, one of the officials entered the cell, when
he was horrified to find the prisoner lying, or rather half
sitting, on the floor of the apartment, with his neck-
clotch tightly twisted round his neck, and apparently
quite dead. The alarm was immediately given, and Dr.
Maclachlan was called in without delay, but on his arri-
val, although the body was still warm, he found that life
was en tirelyextinct. The unfortunate man had first fastened
his neckerchief round his throat, in a kind of loop or noose
and having then inserted his boot into the other end of
it, had actually garotted himself by twisting it round
until strangulation took place. His hand still grasped
the boot, which had acted as a kind of lever, to serve his
fatal purpose, when he was discovered. The deceased,
who has only been a brief time resident in Rothesay,
has left a widow to lament his untimely end.—Glasgow
Post.

THE CHOLERA.---At St. Petersburg, on the morning
of the 22d ult. there were 438 cholera patients under
treatment. During the day 67'new cases were declared,
with 48 cures to 29 deaths.
