MON DAY EVENING, AUGUST 6 1849,

also remember, that as every mind, however humble,
was during its earthly sojourn in the infancy
of an immortal life, so the beauties of art, and the glories
of literature, were only valuable—were only interesting
—in so far as they Iv+ re indicative of man's immortality,
and qualified him fur that imperishable existence which
awaited him beyond the grave.—(Applause.) The cul-
tivation of power; here was only the cultivation of
powers which, in a happier sphere, would never die.
The Learnad Judge concluded, amid loud and enthu-
siastic applause, by congr:au:sting the pupils on their
vacation, and exhorting them to surrender themselves
without restraint to the genial influence of the festive
hour.
A vote of thanks was unanimously awarded to the
L-atned President, and the meeting terminated.

SlR,—That pleasurable " shoal of time," the Goodwood
Meeting, has passed off with great Mat, thanks to the
weather and to the indefatigable exertions of Lord
George Bentinck's successor—Lord H. G. Len-
nox, who bids fair, in the long run, to
Equal his predecessor in his palmiest days.
Tadmor, of course, won the Gratwicke Stakes in the
easiest manner imaginable, at the time being " rather
off," beating Herbert (2d), and Sidney (3d); Belus,
Vanguard, and Rochester " stalled off." This

opinion, quite good enough to beat the Flying Dutch-
man upon equal terms, the rf,ce for this year's Derby to
my mind being a nullity. Should they ever meet again
the Dutchman strikes his flag, or
" I'll break my staff,
Bury it certain fathoms in the earth,
And deeper than did ever plummet sound
I'll drown my book."
The Goodwood Stable were in immense force through-
out the week, winning the Lavant and 2ilolecomb
with William the Conqueror, a genuine Derby
nag ; the Bunney, and Settringtou Stakes with
Officious, a real flyer; the Drawing-room Stakes
with Borneo, Uriel being lame; a 200;sovs. stakes with
Ghillie Callum, who in consequence was made first
favourite for the Derby, but notwithstanding will not
be first in the race; and the Sussex Stakes, with Com-
pass; besides four matches, and two or three minor
sweepstakes—pretty luck for one week.
For the 300 sous. Stakes Glen Saddel, the only sound
horse in the race, beat my fancy Loadstone, who came
to the post in as ricketty a condition as it was possible to
be, at once shutting out all hope.

will be heard of in the ring throughout the winter.
Wanota, my choice for" The Stakes," found the course
half a mile too long for him.
As I anticipated, there was nothing to touch Canezou
in the race tor the cup. Chanticleer's running was moat
extraordinary.
The straw-coloured jacket was once again in the ascen-
dant on the back of Honeycomb, who won without an effort
from a trashy trio—Champion, Solon, and Ploughboy.
This Honeycomb must not be despised for his races at
York and Doncaster: it strikes me very forcibly he will
give the Dutchman his work to do in the tit. Leger
race.

There are two days' sport at Derby on Tueoday and
Wednesday, including a stake or two of some little im-
portance.
The Tradesmen's Pkto has Revolt, 7st 61b—Mrs.
Taft, 7st 11b—Little Mary, 6st 81b—St. Antonio, Est
41b—Van Diemen, sst 121 b—and Sir Henry Hardinge,
sst 81b, including 41b extra, among the entries, my pen-
chant leaning toward the last named. _ _

The Foal—Stakes are destined for Robert de Brus,
Drakelow, or Langton.
Lord Chesterfield's Mrs. Taft and Cisient look remark..
ably " well in " for the Chatsworth Stakes,
and his Lampoon filly will not be far from the mark
for the Chesterfield Stakes, although opposed by the
Muff filly, Sicyon, and Cadger. This quartet will
secure the three first places, the Muff for choice..
At Brighton, the Goodwood stable will secure the
Pavilion and Two yrs old Stakes, and might, perchance,
the Brighton Stakes with Hornpipe, although in pre-
ference I should trust St. Antonio, 7st. 121 b; the Nautch
Girl, sst. 131 b. ; or Dark Lady, sst. 111 b. The light
weights for choice.
At Wolverhampton, on Monday next, Sir Henry
Hardinge, or Christiana, will make the Produce Stakes
safe fur the owner of one or other. The Wolverhampton
Stakes, Mr. Meiklam ought to secure with Snowstorm,
the Model, Little Mary, and Dough close up. Van
Diemen's running for either this stake, or the Trades-
men's Plate, at Derby, I consider very doubtful; if he
does go he must be cautiously dealt with.
The Chillington Stakes to Harriett.

ATTEMPT TO MURDER THREE CHILDREN.—The
neighbourhood of the Hampstead-road has been thrown
into a state of painful excitement in consequence of a
woman, named Chapman, having committed suicide
after having attempted the lives of her children. She
had been married about six years to a stonemason, and
lived at No. 19, Henry-street. She had three children
of the respective ages of 4f years, 2i years, and 1 year.
For the last fortnight she had been in the want of almost
the common necessaries of life, in consequence of her
husband having been out of work for some months, and
had asked her landlady (Mrs. Davies) to procure for her
a letter for the hospital. Oa Saturday last a letter was
procured, and a lady called at the house with it. Upon
knocking at the door of the room inhabited by
