NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.

(SUNDAY AFTEnoox, 3 o'Cr.ocK.)—The present meeting
augurs well to make ample amends for the deficiency of the
last. The stakes and matches are numerous and important,
the weather beautiful, and the different courses in admirable
condition. From the many arrivals which have already taken
place, the number of lodgings engaged, the unusual proportion
of matches, and the interest of the meeting in general, a very
full attendance is anticipated.
His Royal Highness the Duke of York has arrived, and is
now gone to Cheveley, where he will remain during the week,
in the course of which his Royal Highness will join in a grand
Battoo in the woods with Lord Westmoreland, &c. Great
havoc has been committed amongst the game. His Royal
Highness, with the Duke of Rutland, Lord Westmorland, and
Mr. Sloan, having, in one day last week, at Cheveley, killed
321 head.

His Royal Highness Prince Leopold slept on Friday night
at the Rutland Arms, on his road to Lord Westmorland's, on
a visit. We understand the Duke of Rutland has invited his
Royal Highness to Cheveley for the week's racing and shoot-
ing, and it is expected that the invitation will be accepted.
Thu following are some of the present arrivals Grace
the Dukc of Grafton, Lord Euston, Lord J. Fitzroy, Lord G.
Bentinck, Lord Verulam' Lord and Lady Anson, Lord and
Lady Rendlesham, Lord and Lady Stradbrooke, Hon. Mr.
and Lady C. Powlett, Sir J. Shelley, Hons. G. Anson, Wynd-
ham, Mr. S. and Lady C. Wortley, Mr. Greville, Colonel Rus-
sell, Mr. Lushington, &c. •
The show of horses on the exercise ground this morning was
very grand, upwards of 200 being there. Among them were
the following: From Robson's stables—Rufus, Bolero, and
Tarandus; Bolivar, Polio, and other Derby and Oaks colts
and fillies, for next year, who took their gallops in good style,
and look well. From Lord Jersey's stables were Middleton,
Spermaceti, and his Derby and Oaks horses. Lord Lowther's
Monarch (a Derby colt) looks well, and is a powerful and fine
goer. The General, Sophist, (Derby colts), Scandal, Crusader,
Don Carlos, Bizarre, Adeliza, Camel, Cricketter, Stumps, and
several 2-yr-olds were also at exercise.
The Marquis of Exeter's studd looks admirably well,. and
we are happy to add that Redgauntlef is taking his walking
exercise, and appears to be recovering very fast frorn.his acci-
dent at Doncaster.

An unfortunate accident happened on Thursday last to the
Duke of Portland's famous horse Surplus; while running a
trial with some young ones, he broke his leg. Robinson was
on him, but escaped unhurt.

forth ; Thursday, at Whitworth ; Saturday, at Barton.

STAG HUNT.—On Saturday the 15th, the stag hounds of
the Hon. G. Berkeley met at lckenham, attended by a numer-
ous field, when a fine stag was turned out, which, after a bril-
liant run of nearly one hc.ir over the best part of the country,
was safely taken. The speed and bottom of these hounds have
been frequently remarked by the best sportsmen of the pre-
sent day.

The El-KING OF SWEDEN, now living nt May-
ence, under the name of Colonel Gustayson, is not pleased, it
seems, with something said of him by Count Segur in his
" history of Napoleon." He therefore sent a refutation of the
statement, which was inserted in the Drapcau Blanc, a Paris
Paper. It is hard to please an Ex-King, and his Majesty has
since complained that his refutation was garbled. This com-
plaint has been inserted in the French papers, and serves the
purpose of informing the world that his Ex-Majesty was alive
on 3d October, 1825.
The only officer killed in the late action with
the Burmese, was Captain ANDREW FRENCH, a young and
accomplished soldier. The following testimony to his worth
and valour in a letter to his father from General Macbean, is
calculated to assuage the grief of Captain French's family :
" Poor Andrew, I have now to relate to you (and melancholy
to me is the task), was killed in the assault upon Arracan
the 29th ultimo. He was there acting under my immediate
command, and most gallantly leading the advance ; so that I
can assure you if his fine noble example of courage can give
consolation to yourself and his friends; you may indulge in it
to the fullest extent ; for never did a more gallant soldier draw
a sword. Alas ! his fine spirit is gone for ever, hut with it the
admiration and regrets of all his brother officers."
TRANSMISSION OF NEWSPAPERS.—There is an
etroneous idea abroad, that, by the late Act, Newspapers sent
by post; must be put into the Office on the days upon which
they are published, is order to go free: this regulation ap-
plies only to those sent to the Colonies, but not to their cir-
culation through the United Kingdom..
Mr. KEAN is expected to arrive at New York
about the 20th instant. Mrs. KEA.N remains at
home ; the is at present remaining on a romantic
estate purchased by Mr. KEAN in Bute, and
where he expended a good deal of money in
building a residence, making roads, &c,

We find that the statement of Mr, SlNct,Ant's
engagement at Covent-garden Theatre was un-
founded. A difference exists between Mr. SIN..
CLAIR and the Management relative to his en-
gagement of last year, which is likely to come
immediately before the Court of King's Bench,
Mr. BaouGnAlt being retained to conduct Mr.
SlNcLAlrt's case. The report that Mr. SINCLAIR
had accepted an engagement in Italy is like-
wise incorrect. We understand that an applica-
tion has been made to him by a Broker commis.
sioned from some of the Italian Theatres, but
that he declined entering into any engagement.
(M orning Post.)
DISTRESSING ACClDENT.—Yesterday evening,
soon after eleven o'clock, a lady and gentleman, with an infant
child, in a gig, were passing through Oxford-street, when the
horse suddenly taking fright, it is believed, through the spring.
ing of a watchman's rattle, reared, and rushing against a hack-
ney coach, flung the unfortunate lady and her child to the
ground. The gentleman WAR also thrown out, but was not
hurt ; the lady was raised from the ground, nearly lifeless, and
carried into the shop of Mr. Mount, surgeon, where on
being examined it was found she had received a dreadful wound
on the face, aid part of her head torn nearly as if scalped, the
child was hurt dreadfully from the lady falling on it. The
wounds being dressed the lady was so seriously injured that it
was judged dangerous to remove her, and a bed Was provided in
to LP use for her and the infant.
