TUESDAY.
The special train this morning brought a considerable
accession of company, and the muster on the heath, both
in number and rank, contrasted favourably with the first
day; the weather, too, although cold and gloomy, was
dry, and the sport as interesting as it
was plentiful. It
will be seen that the field resulted in the defeat of Sister
to Arkwright, first favourite for the Oaks, and that the
winner of the Northamptonshire Stakes succumbed to
Cane zou, whose starting, up to Monday night, was very
doubtful; both were backed for large stakes. The races
commenced with

and Fernhill,
lying up; Canezou and Cockermouth in
the rear. They ran thus at a bad pace to the turn of
the lands, where Hornpipe took up the running, waited
on by Fernhill, Canesou and Cockermouth. Hornpipe
kept the lead until half way between the turn and the
finish, where she gave way to the two favourites, who
now had it all to themselves. The struggle home was
uncommonly severe, Canezou never getting up until the
last two or three strides, and winning only by a neck.
Cockermouth was a bad third. The race was run in
3 min. 21 secs.

EASTER WRESTLING.
The annual sports of Camden Town comments!:
the
Monday at the Brecknock Arms, the play being
Cornish style, and chiefly between the men
nf
Devon. The
Bri-
tish California" and the adjoining county
proceedings opened with a match for agoole of. sove-f
reigns betwen Keaslater, of Devon, yummins, 0
Berks,! in which the Devonian proved the victor, bring-
ing. the Berkshire man to the ground twice in succession.
Radford (1) ), and Verran, of Birmingham, played out
time, neither getting the throw. Bowden (C.), then
came against Verran, and as both are first-rate light
men, a splendid specimen of the athletic art was
displayed, Bowden finally gaining the fall. Partridge
(D.), next threw Skelley (D.), and afterwards
Eason (of Somerset), thus establishing himself as a
double player. Toogood (D.), cleverly disposed of
another pair, namely, Barrett (C.), awl Clements (C.),
in a brief space of time. Potherbridge (D.), a new
wrestler in the London ring, made a successful debit, by
flooring two Cornishmen in succession, and making him-
self also a double player. Charles Verran (Co, scienti-
fically disposed of the pretensions of a very fine young
man of the Life Guards, who stated himself to be a na-
tive of Devon, named Gorman. Verran subsequently
timed out Crook, of Devon, and was made a double
player. Goodman (C.), the Champion of the London
ring, showed next, laying Crook, of Devon, and Eason,
of Somerset, on their shoulder blades. Hill (D.), grassed
Maunder (C.), and Raiford (C.), another double. There
were several other vvell.contested,couples, W. Snell, the
Devon champion, having possession of the ring when
night put an end to the play, which will be resumed
this day. •

FIRE AND PROBABLE Loss OF LIFE.--Last evening
considerable alarm was caused in Pool place, Mount-
pleasant, Clerkenwell, in consequence of a cry being
raised that the first floor of the house numbered 2 in
that place was on fire, and that a child about four years
of age was burning therein. The parish engine and the
brigade firemen immediately started for the spot, when,
to the surprise of the neighbours, the doors were barred
against the admission of the firemen—the inmates of the
house succeeding themselves in putting the flames out.
The only information that could be learned was, that a
bed and bedding were burned, and a child about four
years of age was so frightfully burned, that its death
was hourly expected. The premises, which were let out
in tenements, were owned by a Mr. Sullivan, who was
under an erroneous impression that if he allowed
the firemen to enter he would have to pay for their
attendance.
ACCELERATION OF TILE MAILS.—The public of
Cork have now the satisfaction of receiving letters from
Dublin and London two hours sooner than before, in
consequence of the mails being brought by train as far as
Mallow. On Friday the arrangement was for the first
time carried into effect, and though necessitating consi-
derable changes in the local post-office, did not occasion
the least emLarrasament or confusion. The mail arrived
exactly at the, time appointed, and was distributed with
promptitude. The acceleration is a great convenience to
our local community, and fully appreciated.—Cork
Examiner.
