YORK AUGUST MEETING.

YORK, MONDAY ncrur.—lf the list be worthy of
credit, there is little doubt of the ensuing being an excel-
lent meeting. It will commence to-morrow, and termi-
nate on Friday ; the Stewards having judiciously re-
solved that there :.hall be four good days' sport in pre-
ference to five scanty ones. Several of the stakes, besides
possessing considerable intrinsic importance, are calcu-
lated to exercise a material influence on the betting on
the Great St. Leger. The principal are the Great Pro-
duce, the Thirty Guineas' Stakes, and the Two-year Old
Stakes. For the Produce, a colt, bred by Mr. Watt (got
by Tramp out of a Whisker mars, and purchased by Mr.
Robinson at the sile of that gentleman's stud at
the last Doncaster races), and called Liverpool, is
the favourite. He ran fourth to Circassian the week
of his sale; but is stated to have improved astonish-
ingly since he got into Scott's stable. He has been
backed for this Stakes and the St. Leger to a very large
amount, and if he runs on Thursday, will probably-prove
an awkward customer for the Newmarket nags ; he is
also in the Thirty Guineas' Stakes, and the favourite, but
no odds are yet offered ; he is backed for the Produce at
evens against the field. Tiberius (won at Chester), Edie
Ochiltree, Hamilcar, and one or two others, are expected
to run. Not above eight or nine are likely to go for the
Two-year Old Stakes, Mr. Powlett's two being the
favourites, in consequence of their having run so well in
the Spring Meeting. It is worthy of remark, that out of
the twenty-two horses named for this Sweepstakes, there
is not one winner. For the Silver Tureen, Maria, Medcro,
Laurel, St. Nicholas, and Rowton, will probably start.
Maria is in great favour, her running in the Spring having
proved her to possess stoutness as well as speed. For the
guidance of betting men, we subjoin a list of the horses
that have arrived at the different training stables in the
vicinity of Knavesmire :

old colt, by Brutandorf, Redstart, Lady Maude, 2 yrs., two-year-

SONGS IN THE BEGGARS' OPERA.-It IS
not generally known that the first song, " The modes of
the Court," was writen by Lord CHESTERFIELD,--" Vir-
gins are like the fair flower in its lustre," by Sir CHARLES
fiamiußy WlLLiams,—" When you ensure the age," by
Swnr,—and " Gamesters and lawyers are jugglers alike,"
by Mr. FORTESCUE, Master of the Galt's Lives
of Me Players.

Lusus NTATUR
.—There is now in the pos.
session of Mr. Roos, surgeon, one of the most extraor-
dinary instances of the lusus nature we have ever wit-
nessed. It is that of a kitten having two distinct bodies
joined together, each having four legs and a tail, all per-
fectly formed, and unconnected With each other. What
adds to the singularity of this aberration of nature is, that
though there are in every other respect a duplicate of parts,
there is only one head.— Glasgow Courier.

The new London-bridge was again an object
of considerable interest yesterday. An announcement
from the Committee that the carriage-way would not be
thrown open for some days, but that the public would be
allowed to view the decorations and fittings up far the
Royal visit, between six o'clock in the morning and seven
at ❑ight, drew together a dense multitude of spectators,
who were much gratified by the inspection of the Royal
pavilion, which they were thus enabled to ebtain. The
Committee did not think it necessary to impose any re-
strictions as to the quality of the cloth, or the cleanliness
of the linen which should entitle the wearer to the pri-
vilege of the entree ; all being admitted indiscriminately,
without question or examination. The few regulations
which it was thought necessary to impose were in general
cordially acquiesced in; but, nevertheless, one or two whim-
sical collisions took place between the constables on duty
and the female portion of the spectators. Impelled by the
irresistible curiosity of the sex, several fair damscis strayed
from the public path-way, and protested against the
interference of the officers, who endeavoured to confine
them within the prescribed limits. These latter function-
aries, however, seemed to entertain quite as little respect
for the doctrines of non-intervention as has been manifested
in other quarters, and finding that neither promises nor
threats had any influence on the determination of the ad-
verse party, they began to show their authority, and to
elevate their truncheons around their heads. The ladies
merely dared them to strike, pushed forward, and en-
trenched themselves behind the side tables. Here the
aspect of affairs began to look serious—a hostile force was
pressing en the men in office from behind, when one amongst
them, suddenly bethinking himself of the " three great
`IT," caught up a form, placed it across the passage, and
piling two or three others upon it, furmed a very tolerable
barricade ala Francaih. The pertinacious malcontents,
thus deprived of assistance from without, were compelled
at length to surrender at discretion. The awnings, flags,
&c. on the bridge will remain for public inspection until
'seven o'clock this evening.—Morning Herald.
