With the Cup race closed the most unsuccessful meet-
ing at Doncaster it has been our duty to attend. Un-
successful, not only in the amount and character of the
sport, but in everything calculated to make it remune-
rative to the townspeople. If the meeting tailed, how-
ever, there was no failure in the management : the
etc wards were always at their post. The new clerk of
the course got through his duty as effectively as if he
he had been in office for years, and the judging, starting,
&c., were unexceptionable. We ought also to cotnph-
went the superintendent of the Great Northern Railway
on the highly satisfactory manner in which the traffic
was carried on. IsT,t a single accident occurred ; and
the hours of arrival and departure were observed with
a closeness which, considering the occasion, was re-
markable.

STATE OF TRADE IN VENICE.—The following is
an extract of a letter received at Lloyd's to-day from
their agent, dated Venice, 29th August:—" We regret
to have to announce to you a notification of his Excel-
lency General Gargkowsky the present civil and mili-
tary Governor at Venice, of the date of the 27th instant,
Three months are allowed for the sale of the merchan-
dise actually existing in the free port, a declaration of
which must be made within ten days. At the expiration
of the three months all goods remaining unsold, liable
to duty, must be deposited in the custom-house, or duty
must be paid en them. We hope the petitions which
will be presented to the Emperor for a renewal of the
anchisement, will prevent a measure so calamitous to
the city, as well as injurious to British commerce, from
being carried into effect."
OUTRAGE ON A CONVENT.—On Saturday night last
a most disgraceful outrage was perpetrated on the con-
vent situated in the west suburbs of Clonmel. At
midnight the inhabitants were alarmed by the loud
pealing of the bell attached to the chapel. On the
people in the vicinity assembling, it was discovered
that some ruffians bad succeeded in cutting out a
window sash, and were sawing through the inside
shutter, when one of the sisterhood became alarmed at
the noise. The burglars did not quit their work until the
numbers which now approached the scene of their infa-
mous labours became formidable. They then retreated
into an adjoining nursery, and their whereabouts have
not since b,en beard of. That such an outrage as this
should escape the lynx eyes of the local magistrates,
especially of the worthy stipendiary of that district,
whose vigilance is well known in high quarters, would
indeed be marvellous. If the perpetrators of this
piece of wanton cruelty upon unoffending women,
upon a sisterhood remarkable even amongst the pious
communities of Ireland, for their useful and holy
labours, had been of the labouring classes, their
detection would be instantaneous. It they be rich
ruffians, shall they eseape? If they be from amongst
the jprivileged sneerers and maligners of Ireland, her
, priests, and people, shallithat be their indemnity? We
sincerely trust that the matter shall be strictly investi-
gated, and the offenders, whoever. they are, pr9raptly
brought to justice.—Cork Examiner.
