YtronTitiNG, SEPT. 20.-The stimulus to improvement so
visible at Brighton has at length reached us, and buildings are
beginning to spread here, though not so rapidly as at Kemp
Town, Brunswick Terrace, &c. in the neighbouring watering
place. There are still several bills up in the windows here ;
yet we may say the place is tolerably full : and the books at
both libraries show several titled names, such as the Duchess of
Marlborough,_ Countesses Clonmell and Beauchamp, Lord
Boyne, the Duke of St. Albans, (not forgetting Mrs. Coutts),
&c. &c.

THE WILL OF THE LATE LORD -RADSTOCK.
The WILL. of the late Right lion. WILLIAM
Lord RansTocK, Baron of Radstock, in the county of So-
merset, K.G.C.8., Admiral of the lied, was proved, with 11
codicils, in the Prerogative Court, Doctors' Commons, on the
12th instant, by the oaths of the Right Honourable Granville
George Waldegrave Lord Radstock, his son, and the Honour-
able Sir James Allan Park, Knight, two of the executors, Sir
Abraham Hume, Bart. the other executor, having renounced
the trust. The personal property is sworn under 80,0001. The
will, in the first place, confirms a settlement heretofore made
upon Lady Radstock, of 4001. per annum, bequeaths her 5001.
all the household furniture and stock (except plate and pictures)
in the house in Portland-place, and the interest for life of 8,0001.
In the plate also she is to have a life interest; at her death it is
to be preserved for his unmarried daughters, and subsequently
to form part of the residue. To his son above mentioned, in
consequence of advances already made to him, amongst others
a sum of nearly 2,0001., on his attaining twenty-one (the whole
of his Lordship's own patrimony), he makes no further abso-
lute bequest than 1,000/., as a proof of his entire affection and
regard : and his daughter Emily Susan Westley is stated to
have had 4,0001. advanced to her on her marriage. The residue
is left to all his other children, and, in case of their death under
twenty-one, and unmarried, or without issue, 1,000/. is given to
Mrs. Monier, Lady Itadstock's sister, and the remainder divided
equally between the said Emily Susan Westley anti Granville
George Waldegrave. By the codicils, there is a further bequest
of 3,000/. Consols to her Ladyship for life, with reversion to
his son, who has also an immediate bequest of 5,0001. Consols,
and a further provision of one or two thousand pounds is made
for Emily and her children. One of the codicils contains par-
ticular directions as to the sale of his Lordship's pictures. The
Portrait of Charles L by Vandyke, brought direct from Madrid
by M. , and procured from the Cabinet of the
King of Spain ; that of Henrietta Marietta, nearly matchless
in beauty and.expression, also by Vandyke; and a Landscape,
by A. Vandevelde, are to be sold for Lady Radstock's benefit.
If by auction, to be placed below the twentieth lot, and all
friends to he apprised of it, who, he trusts, will not let them be
sold for less than their real value. But upon the subject of
sale, the testator desires that Mr. Emmerson, of Stratford-
place (whose skill in the arts, and. whose integrity, he has for
many years experienced), may be consulted ; who, if he cannot
procure private purchasers, or an offer from Government, may
consign them to Christie for the hammer. His Lordship values
them at fifty-one thousand guineas—they consist of Italian,
French, Spanish, Dutch, and Flemish masters Some honour-
able testimonies of his Lordship's services to his country are
directed to remain in the family as heir looms ; amongst others,
a gold snuff-box, and the freedom of the city of London, on
occasion of the battle of St. Vincent's ; a gold medal from his
Majesty on the like occasion, when he commanded the third
division; the engravings thereof; a gilt sword from his friend
Admiral Lord Nelson ; a steel ditto, &c. Of other bequests
there is a cameo of an Ajax (once the pride of the celebrated
Jennings), to his son, with various miniatures and enamels;
fifteen guineas for a Family Bible, to Sir Allan Park, for his
life only, and then to revert to the testator's family ; many
rings, and small sums, to servants. The will is dated the 25th
January, 1820. There is no mention of any real estates.

A curious KEY has lately been discovered at
St. Germains-en-Lave, near Paris (formerly the
residence of JAMES IL) which turns out to have
been the master-key of King CHARLES I I. having
the crown and cipher of that Monarch, and other
Royal emblems. It is of the most exquisite beauty
as a work of art, being pierced in steel and highly
polished ; the ornaments of the finest arabesque :
it has been brought to this country by a collector,
and is now in the possession of Mr. Jarman, of
St. James's-street.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

DONCASTER RACES—Tuesday Night, Twelve o'Clock•

THE GREAT ST. LEGER.
The intense interest which this long looked-for and anxiously
expected race has excited, is, perhaps. unprecedented in the
Annals of Racing. The Derby and Oaks, in the early part
of the year, were brilliantly attended, nor was expectation dis-
appointed in the almost countless multitudes that assembled.;
the St. Leger, however, not only far exceeds these celebrated
home sports, but it is scarcely possible to guess at the numbers
which this day crowded the Course. The York Festival might
boast of its thousands and tens of thousands—its brilliancy of
rank—its attractions—its unparalleled performance, but all
must give way to the splendid scene which presented itself on
the present occasion. Carriages and six, barouches, and bang-
up fours-in-hand, graced the Course in great numbers; every
vehicle, within thirty miles, of every description, was in requi-
sition, and the Johnny Rams (if Yorkshire may have any) stuck
at no trifles in their selection : the equestrians were innume-
rable, and the trotters were of a superior description from the
want of conveyances, and tag-rag and bob-tail might be seen
at an early hour " plodding their weary way" to the scene of
action cheek by jowl with the Bourgeois of all the surrounding
villages. If a foreigner could have beheld the tout ensemble,
he would have been unable to express his astonishment ; for
even to us who have witnessed every species of mobility, it was
a novelty. Towns, villages, hamlets, all had disgorged them-
selves, not only of the heads of families, but even Joan and
her unshod innocents joined the congregated mass. The ele-
gant dresses of the Ladies in their carriages, with the party
coloured and all-coloured decorations of the rustic damsels gave
an enlivening and indescribable appearance to the whole, which
would require the pencil of a Hogarth to give any idea of.—
The Stand each day has been crowded, at one guinea a head,
and the net produce of the admissions were declared after the
St. Leger to Mr. Lockwood, the Judge, to be 2,090 guineas,
being nearly 500 guineas more than ever was taken before.—
His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex arrived here at one
o'clock to-day, and at two proceeded to the Course. There
were also present his Highness the Duke of Brunswick, Prince
Schwartzenberg, Prince Rusamoffsky, Baron Billow, and
many other foreigners of distinction. The Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Londonderry were in a seat by the Judges' Stand,
partitioned off, and in the Stand were the Duke of Devonshire
and several of his friends; also the Gentlemen of the Press,
who were most politely treated by the Stewards. We also ob-
served the Dukes of Portland, Rutland, Leeds ; Marquises,
Blandford, Worcester, Titchfield, Exeter, Queensberry, Or-
monde, Londonderry ; Earls, Errol, Chesterfield,Orford, hlun-
caster, Fitzwilliam, Sefton ; Lords) Darlington, F. and W.
Bentick, Cavendish, elements, J. Fitzroy, C. Fitzroy, Hawke,
A. Hill, Lyndock, Burghersh, Gort, 'Wallace, Scarborough,
Pelham, Ashby, Normanby, Milton, Kelburne, Kennedy ;
Sir NV. Maxwell, Sir J. Byng, Sir J. Astley ; Mr. Baird,
Mr. Lambton, Mr. Greville, Colonel Aubrey, Mr. Watt, Mr.
Houldsworth, Mr. Farquharson, Mr. Milnes, Mr. Craven,
&c.—The betting on the St. Leger has this year been so extra-
ordinary as almost to exceed belief. Cleveland has been the
principal object of speculation, and about him the fluctuations
from the last Doncaster Races to the present time have been
unprecedented, every manoeuvre has been resortettto in order to
make him a source of profit. One day he has been thrown
hack, and the next brought up, thus giving the knowing ones a
'certainty of gaiaing if he won, and of not losing if he was beat ;
in fact, technically, he has been a good book-horse, and has
afforded ample scope for the inventive and calculating qualifi-
cations of the Bulls and Bears of the Betting-Room. He has
also been the source of speculation in all parts of the country,
where nothing but Cleveland was thought of: he was put
down as safe to win, the others being entirely out of the
question. The other favourites have also been very exten-
sively speculated on ; but the betting about them has been
chiefly guided by public running. Memnon, in particular, has
not varied from his station as first favourite (exCept for a few
days, when Cleveland headed him), since the last St. Leger;
he was brought into high favour by his success at the last
meeting, and confirmed in it by his subsequent performances.
About Homer, nothing definite was said till the last York
Meeting, where he won the 30 sovereign stakes. This brought
him up, and by a great many good judges he was booked to
win ; but others considered him too fleshy, and fancied that
he was a roarer; but this we doabt, as he came in for the last
mentioned stakes quite fresh. His trial with Figaro was said
to be favourable, and rose him greatly in the betting list ; but
the defeat of that horse by Lottery was calculated to remove
that impression, and he would very probably have receded but
for King Catton (by the same sire) winning the Champagne
yesterday. He is a very powerful horse, and capable of a great
deal of wear and tear.
We now come to the races, which were this day admirably
conducted. The business of the course was, notwithstanding
the crowd, well executed, and accidents prevented. The races
commenced with the two-year-old stakes, which, with the
others, will be found accurately detailed as follows :
Two year old Produce Stakes of 100 gs. each, h. ft. for colts,l
flst. 21b., fillies .Bst.—Red House In.

to 4 on Claudine.
The winner took the lead, made pretty running, and won a'
good race by three quarters of a length. James Robinson rode
the winner, and Dockery Meeta.
The Great St. Leger Stakes, of 25 sov. each, for 3 yr. old colts,
Bst. 21h., anti fillies, list. St. Leger Course. (88 sub.)

Twenty-eight started, but were not placed.
BETTING AT STARTING.
S to 1 agst Memnon l2 to 1 'asst Cleveland
6 to 1 Homer 17 to 1 Addy
S to 1 Rcdgauntlet 25 to 1 Pastime
10 to 1 Alderman 1 1000 to 20 Dauntless
Previous to running Mr. Lockwood, the Judge, went
down to the weighing room, and addressed the jockies, (30)
saying that he wished at this very important moment that
every thing relating to the running should be governed in the
most upright manner. In order to gain this desirable point, it
was necessary that they should, when mounted, take their
stations, pass by the stand in a body, and return to get ready
for starting ; when so done he would pull off his hat, and wave
it with the word " Off," and such signal to be deemed a start;
but if he saw any thing wrong occur he should cause two flags
to be displayed in directions which he pointed out, which would
imply a false start. After this the different horses were
mounted, each taking his canter ; jockies trying their stirrups,
&c., and a lapse of 17 minutes occurred, before they all got
together, which gave the spectators an opportunity of view-
ing the movements and capabilities of the horses, and thereby
coming to a final determination in their betting. After a great
deal of marching and counter-marching, and wheeling about
to get into a proper line, at 12 minutes before three o'clock,
the word off was given, and they started, but it was no go ;._
the colours were hoisted, and back they came, having to work
them Selves into line belare they could be brought into re-action;
in three minutes and a half the signal was repeated, and all was
right. Dauntless jumped offancrmade very severe running to
the Hill ; then came up Brother to Addy, who continued the
race at a slashing rate to the Red House, where most of the
scragged ones dropped off. Then Memnon came in front,
closely followed by Alderman, and, between these two, there
was fine running till near home, when Memnon shot a-head,
and won the Great St. Leger by several lengths. It was a beau-
tiful race, and the greatest part of it was finely contested. Red-
gauntlet might have had a better station in all probability, hod
he not unavoidably run !against a post placed in a socket, to
chew the course in a distant part and which he broke to pieces.
We understand that the horse has materially injured his leg or
foot, but James Robinson escaped uninjured. Fleur-de-Lis
fell (crossed as report says, by a north country jockey), and over
him dropped Zirza, but luckily neither of the riders nor
horses were injured. Such was the crowded situation of this
race, that Arnall, who rode Brother to Addy, and many
others were absolutely obliged to place their knees and legs
along the horses' shoulders and necks, having no possible
means of riding otherwise. W. Scott rode Memnon. The
ground was run in three minutes and twenty-three seconds and
a half.
