MONDAY NIGHT.

Of the twe races decided this aftrrnoon the Criterion alone re-
quires any particulars in addition to those forwarded from the
Heath. There were a great number of false starts. In the suc-
cessful one Montreal went off with the lead, followed by the Bel-
s!lazzar filly, Vale of Belvoir, Advance colt, Reel, and one or two
others, the.rest lying rather wide. Immediately after passing the
Duke's Stand the Belshazzar filly took up the running in earnest
with Montreal, and Vale of Belvoir next her; she maintained her
lead to the end, and won cleverly by a length. The Diasnentina
colt, Reel, and Turquoise filly, were next, and then the tail, which
was a lengthy one.
The weather was boisterous early in the morning, but cleared up
by ten o'clock, and continued fine to the close of the day. The at-
tendance was numerous.

At present his sleep is far from sound, and he says that he

always feels the first two weeks of any pedestrian undertaking
the most arduous, for want of deep slumber, which he never
obtains until that time has passed, after which his repose be-
comes sound and refreshing, and his labour less difficult. Itd

On Friday evening last, as the brio' Bell, of this
port, was taking in her cargo of coals at the Sunderland and
Durham Railway Staiths, in this harbour, a part of the ma-
chinery broke, and a waggon, containing a chaldron of coals,
fell upon the vessel. The deck was stove in, and two beams
in the hold were broken. One of the waggonmen, named
William Wear, was severely injured, and remains in a dange-
rous state.—Sunderland Herald.
