SPITING INTELLIGENCE.

i A F1E1,10,,,,
if we may form au opinion from prese tit appear-Laces,
the ensuing meeting is not likely to be remarkable either
for the int. rest or quantity of the racing; very few horses
have arrived, the fields for all the standing engagements
will be small, and tho entries made this aternoon for the
Plates, we., :how n great falling cif. Scarcely
any lodgirgs have as yet found tenants, but as none
of the special tr.ins have arrived, it is impossible to
lay what effect the next half-dcz n hours may have on
The prospee sof the town; the indiceticns all lead to
the conclusion that the attendance will be cons:derably
below the rive rage. The large sum contributed to
the rec.,- fuud by the town-council, and their unreserved
tibandonment of the management of the meeting to the
auckey Club, entitled the inhabitants to expect better
things; if they are disappointed on the present
necesien, we have no doubt, from the alterations
Which will be made ia the appropriation of the public
money, and in the conditions and arrangement of the
principal stakes, that the future progress of the meet-
ings will be upward ; albeit from the great number of
rich two and three year old stakes previously run fur at
the Spring meptinv, and at Goodwood, Liverpool, York,
aLee the fi. Ids for engagements of a similar class at
Doncaster must ba materially affected.
The Subscription-room, newly painted and re-deco-
rated, in a style creditable to the liberality and taste of
the proprietors, was opened on Saturday, but up to the
present hoar not a blow has been struck. The Flying
Dutchman, who arrived on Saturday, is looking remark-
ably well, and never went better in his life. The " field"
will be much smaller than was calculated on last week,
Ito one here believing that it will exceed nine or ten.
Chatterer is not coming, and Uricl, Volcano, Loup-
gareu, ar.d Vatican, are looked upon as " doubtful."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUS.

SlR,—Upon information received by telegraph this
441ttling, I hear that the field for the St. Leger will
act exceed ten, and they are the following :-0:d Dan
Tucker, Saucy Dick, Flying Dutchman, Honeycomb,
atlthiron, llerbert, Westow, Nunnykirk, Volcano, an?
*Vatican; the starting of Uriel and Loup-prou is
extronely dubious. Old Dan, Volcano, Saucy
Dick, and Nunnykirk are in splendid con-
dition--quite up to the mark ; and it strikes
me the Dutchman, although in superb fettle,
Will have more to do than he can accomplish, when he
tackles the D.'s both " old" and " saucy," for the finish-
ing struggle to-morrow, without taking into considera-
tion the volcano that Scott is preparing.

CHEAP OMNIBUS TRAVELLING.—LaSt night a
highly respectable meeting of the inhabitants ot Ken-
sington took place at the King's Arms, for the purpose
of forming au association to start some omnibuses which
will give the inhabitants of K-nsington the came cheap
travelling which is now enjoyed by all the other eelirons
of the metropolis. This being only a preliminary meet•
jeg, the business was confined to the appointment of a
committee of 13 of the inhabitants of Kensington, %die
are to endeavour to carry cut the intentions, and who
gill call an early meeting o the inhabitants, and lay
before them the plan they may decade upon. It is a
bingular tact that the old fares of 61. and Is. are now
charged from Kensington, whereas to any other part of
the suburbs the fares are only 3J. This must act very
Prejudicially upon the interests of the town of Kensingtou.
THE LONDON NEW FEVER llosetTAre—Yester-
day the new hospital, erected in the Liverpool-toad, Is-
lington, was opened for the reception of patients. The
building contains accommodation for 200 persons, and
its cost, together with furnishing, amounts to about
20,000/.
METROPOLITAN WATER SUPPLY.—Bast evening,
a meeting of the inhabitants of St. Pancras was held,
to consider the present supply of water, and the means
of promoting a more abundant increase of pure soft
water to all classes of the metropolitan community "
Churchwarden Francis Healy, Esq., was called to the
chair. M. Taberrer explained the objects of the Me-
tropolitan Water Supply Association. As the pro-
Peatus has been already before the public, it will per-
haps be sufficient to state that the general principle is to
incorporate the whole water service of London into one
establishment, under the control of a respensible public
thirty 70mtnission; to be self-supporting, and the necessary
,I,l_llds to be raised upon rates to be levied for a term of
years, for which purpose it is proposed to apply
to Parliament next session for an Act. A parochial
4%)tietnittee was appointed to support the project, and the
eeting then dissolved.
The colonelcy of the 19th Foot, vacant by the
(.Tl2:ise of Sir Warren Peacocke, has been conferred oa
ior-General Charles Turner, commanding at Cork.
