MAYORALTY AND MIND.

Well done, my Lord Mayor ! —having feasted the Cits
With protwdon as great as the taste was refined ;
You have turned a new leaf—and have come to your wits,
By drawing around you the Masters of Mind I

Full oft as those balls have been splendidly filled
With the great of the land in their titled array;
Yet never before has the alatmion-house thrilled
To the echoes cf so grand as to-day.

All things melt away in the rust of regret,
Your jovial companions break down in their prime;
Though bright was their vision of nothingness—yet
The pen is the weapon that eats into time!

By the light of the sun we entered your halls,
Aud enjoyed Hospitality b undltss, as warm ,
Whi e music ascended those lofty, proud walls,
An gave to the scene a heart stirring charm!

But pleasure like glory departeth too soon,
It flies ere we prize its inspiriting glow !
And ;low many before us have left with that moon
That shoue su resplendent - but where are they now

Time-horour'd they sat in those halls—but what name
Reflects on mine host the proud honour he gave—
If ieasting were glory, then Mani n- house fame
Would excel in its virtue the deeds of the brave.

But banquets like these are as ti •eting as grace
Which hallows tha dinner—but cannot convey
One ray of renown to the Lord of the place
Beyond the brief honours that pass with the day.

You may feast, my Lord, Duke, till your festivals pall
On the wealthy and proud,—feast each eloquent scnse
Of your STANLEYS, and Russrus, and Plums—after all,
What are they?— what Will they be fifty years hence?

Such feasts find no favour in Memory's roll ;
They live not like that which this day hath enshrined;
A feast paid to Genius ennobles the soul,
While delighting the world with the progress of Mind

Long may Science and Art pay their court to the Mayor,
With freedom and commerce to thrive by his side;
Let the slaves of ambition and mammon•craft stare—
We can stoop to despise, while we pity their pride!

Then honour to Duke ! for his excellent feast,
Where the noble in fame with true genius combined
In reciprocal feeling to welcome each guest
That came with his art to illumine mankind !

COWPER.

No. 3.

SlR,—Cowper says the English " ju.itly boast at leas,
suprrt jockeyxhit,;" this was exempldied in the pers.'
of Temple-man, on Thurtclsy La,t, in the race tor th
Chesterfield Stakes ; he won, by dint of fine judgment.
n Crimbero (who was beaten ii t'way up the eist.tnee.
in the last two or three s.rides by a very short head ;
itsyphus being bectind, and Cora, who ought to have
won, beat. n x neck from the wit.ner.
Sweeth.art justified my selection, by winning th.
July StAces in a very e.t.,y manner; Impression jus
contriving; to save h. r owner's stake by a neck Iron
4...:ratinurry ; Tordesillas was, ns xp,,cted, goo,.
tnough t r obtain tile third or b.unti place, being het

,ither th:s race or the Derny.
The de;eat of Chanticleer, at 94 Sib, for the Cumber-
hind Plate, at once dis,os, s ut litz and Cuilingwoud'.
chance for the Goodwood Stakes,
Liverpool once more claims my attention, with a list
of twenty races for the three days. This is quite of•
to the mirk, and if the present glorious weather con-
tinues, we may anticipate a first-rat. meetitz.
The Sefton Stakes, value about 1301., will not be et

tractive enough to induce Mr. Green to pull oat his verj
superior St. Leger mar.,, therefore I shall luuk to Ciga-
rette to pull me through.

The Produce Stake;;' for two years old will, in all pro-
bability, be won by Sweatheart or one of Lord Stan
leys; The Italian, I presume, being reserved for the
Post Produce Stakes, which he ought to win.
The Post Produce Stakes, for three years old, will be
" walkei over" for by Lord Eglinton's Flying Dutchman
or Being.
Sh .eld the Flying Dutchman run for the Bicker-
staffo Stakes, of course he will winl Old Dan Tucker,
and perhaps Uriel, will be found at the post.
The Mersey Stakes are likely to produce an interest.
ing "spurt" between Cadger, Flash, Jack Briggs,
Seneca, Ardwiek, and Colonel Anson's black colt, by
Birdcatcher; Cadger and Flash look the most like
business; but more anon.

The Foal Stakes to Strongbow's owner, and the
Grosvenor Stakes to Mr. Green.
TLe Linuer Stakes, I opine. will be con.
tested by Fitzpatrick and Strcogbow, latter tor choice.
For the Liverpool St. Lager, in the absence of the
Dutchinsn, the field is included in the following:_
Belus, Fitzpatrick, Pelham, Magicisn, Thibault, Van.
guard, Stanton, Abbot of Meaux, and Eicalade. At the
present moment I should say it was a near thing between
Belus and Scott's nag.
The Liverpool Cup, out of 123 nominations and 61
acceptances, will n,t, Lissa more than 15 starters, to be
selected from the following:—Pe-p-o'day-B.T, Bst 41b;
John Corer, 7$ 101 b; The Dail, 7$ 91b; Newcourt,
7st 61b;Keleshes, 6 121 b; Mrs. Taft, 6$ 121 b; Lamb's

Bon Mot, sst; atutalless, 4st 10tb; Sauter le Coupe.
4$ 101 b; and Melody, 4st B.b.
I must stand to my opine .n as expressed on the 221 of
May, that Elseda,iu; will prove to be the winner; and
expect to ree John Cosset., lielt-shea, and Thringarth,
In close attendance. Should an, thing of importance
occur between now and Wednesday, I will communicate
