NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.
THE CESLREWITCH.—The following are a few addi-
tional particulars of this race :—Miss Ann took a d.-tided
lead immediately after starting, followed, in a ruck, by
Smuggler Bill, Baby, Amazement, Glenalvon, Legerde-
main, Mahon, Vatican, and several light weights, in
their rear being Lady Evelyn and Dulcet. This order
cont.nned to the bushes, where Vatican and Smuggler
Bill were beaten off. Miss Ann maintained a slight
lead a few yards down the hill, and was then passed
by Melton, Glenalvon, Baby, Legerdemain, Essedarius,
Lady Evelyn, and Amazement, the latter having a slight
lead. In the bottom, however, Legerdemain took up
the running, followed by Baby and Lady Evelyn, and
in this order the race finished, Legerdemain winning
cleverly by a length, the same between Raby and Lord
Chesterfield's mare; Essedarius fourth, Melton fifth,
and Glenalvon sixth. Miss Ann ran under protest, on
the grouad that she has been running under a wrong
description.

MANCHESTER- WATERWORKS

BURSTING OF THE WEIR AND DESTRUCTION Or
PROPERTY BY THE F'LooD.—A violent snow and
thunderstorm occurred on Friday last at Glossop,
at the foot of some of the Yorkshire and Derbyshire
hills. Since that occurrence the exceedingly heavy
and continuous fall of rain and snow on the summit
of the hills in question has been productive of serious
consequences. The Manchester corporation has
commenced a series of works for the collection of
the five streams which flow from these hills through
the Longdendale Valley, principally fed by some
powerful springs near Woodhead, with a view to
supplying Manchester with this water. The cost of
the reservoirs and other works will probably be not
much less than a million of money, and their con-
struction proceeded very satisfactorily up to Sunday
last, when an accident occurred which will probably
throw the works back by several months. For about
ten days there had been an almost uninterrupted
fall of rain on the hills. The weather cleared up
for some hours on Saturday, but about ten o'clock
on Saturday night the rain commenced again,
and never ceased till ten o'clock on Sunday
night. The water came down literally in torrents.
About two o'clock on Sunday the flood down the
Eden brook so completely overtopped the new weir
which the company have erected across that stream,
as to completely carry off the coping of the immense i
barrier of stone-work. In consequence of the break-1
ing down of this weir the new river course, for the
purpose of carrying off the floods, was rendered
useless, and the water, consequently impounded into
the valley behind the embankments of the river 11
(which had been raised to about twenty-four feet
above the pipes), and collected there, until half-past
five o'clock on Sunday evening it flowed over the
top and cut down and swept away the embankment
itself. The immense volume of water thus liberated
from all control burst down the vale of the Etheron
with fearful violence, sweeping everything before
it. The lower story of the mills of Messrs. Hobbs
and Sid.ebottom was flooded in an instant. From
two to three thousand pieces of printing cloths and
shirtings were entirely destroyed in this mill, besides
a quantity of yarns, and the flood washed down the
day and Sunday-school attached to the premises, and
part of a warehouse. It also washed down a great
number of yard walls, and the fences of the sur-
rounding fields. A bridge for carriages across the
river Etheron at this point was partly swept away,
and will have to bere-erected, several of the piers be-
ing destroyed.
Other buildings and property of various kinds fell
a prey to the overwhelming flood, and it is supposed
that the loss altogether will be about 3,0001.

The Lord Chancellor has appointed Friday, Nov.
2, at his residence in Park-lane, for the reception of the
Lord Mayor elect, in order to sigulfy Her Majesty's
approbation of his Lordship. On the same day (the
first of Michaelmas Term) the Lord Chancellor will
receive the Judges, Queen's Counsel, &c., in Park-lane,
and will afterwards proceed to his Court at Westminster.
where the Noble and Learned Lord will sit on that day.
During the remainder of the term the Lord Chancellor
vt ill sit at Lincoln's Inn.
TUE CONDEMNED CONVICT CHARLOTTE HARRIS.—
A memorial adopted at a public meeting held at Taun-
ton, praying for a commutation of the sentence of death
pronounced upon this unfortunate woman, at the last
Summer Assizes at Bridgewater, for the murder of her
husband by poison, but the execution of which sentence
was stayed on account of her being enciente, has been
answered by Sir George Grey to the effect that he sees
no grounds to warrant his interference with the due
course of lam
