SPORTING IN TELLIGEIN CE.
NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING

TUESDAY.
directors of the Eastern Counties Railway having I
ar.)7 announcement of their intentou to start a
thi3 morning until Monday afaeion, the
of the freventera of the meeting here mach!
arrangements to loeve by the five e'cLcie afternoon train.
It proved an utilueley set. ction, its progra ss having been
so miserably slow that it did not reach its destination
until half past nine. When there, owing to the neglect
of the managers to provide a sufficient staff, the passen-
gers had to be their own porters, and a scene of great
confusion ensued. It is to be hoped that this will he
remedied on future occasions, and that the public may
bc favoured with timely notice of their intentions. The
special train, which left this morning at half-past eight
o'clock, and arrived in a trifla over two hours, brought a
considk rable number of pasaengers, scarcely enough,
however, to make it a profitable one to the company.
The sport disappointed our expectations ; the Trial
Stakes did not fill, end of nine matches three only came
off —a list which at one time -promised a deaen races
being thus reduced to half that number; their results
are subjoi: ed. The weather was fiela,urable in the ex-
treme, and the attendance, without being so great as
many had anticipated, the best we have t.esit at a First
October Meeting for many years. The courae was in
capital order. The new betting ring on the flat affords
more space for horsemen, and is decidedly an improve-
ment on the old one.

GAS EXPLOSION AT GREENWICH: On Monday
night, about ten o'clock, an explosion of gas took place
at the residence of Mr. William Matthews, of the firm
of Penn and Co., engineers, at No. 18, Valentine-place,
Bkckhei.th-road. Mr. Matthews was sitting busily en-
gaged with tools and instruments used in engineering,
when he perceived a strong smell of gas, and on rising
from his seat with a lighted paper to discover from
whence the escape of gas proceeded, a loud and alarming
explosion took place, driving the two window sashes
into the street, and demolishing upwards of fifty
squares of glass. Mr. Matthews was much burnt about
the face and hands, and one female servant suffered by
being scorched on the nrck.
RUDE, ISLE OP WIGHT.—The Bishop of Oxford

The contribution amounted to 831, to which a further
offering of 2A. was made by a lady of Mr. Phillips' con-
gregation, giving a total of 103/.—Hants Chronicle.
ACCIDENT TO A CLBEGYMAN.—We regret to state

that an accident of a serious nature occurred yesterday
morning, opposite the Mackworth Arms Inn, to a Rev.
Gentleman, n tined Morgan, of Carmarthen. lie had
taken his seat on the mail for some minutes before the
coach started, and just as the driver was about to mount
be suddenly fell (in a fit it is supposed) from the top to
the pavement on his head. Fortunately, the fall was
broken by his coming in contact with the shoulder of
Dunlopp, othnwise he must have been killed. As it
was, he was seriously injured, and bled very much. Ile
remained inseasible for some time; but we are glad to
bear that he was able to speak yesterday evening.—
Local Paper.
