NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER
MEETING.

TUESDAY Ntotrr.—The Clearwell Stakes is likely to effect some
important changes in the betting. Although Dulcinea was dc.
feated, the running of Chifney's filly makes Beiram look well for
the Prendergast Stakes, he having beaten her, Archibald, and
Non Compos (clever winners), in the July Stakes. The betting
before starting was 2 to 1 agst Chifney's filly, 7 to 2 agst Dulcinea,
sto 1 gst Landgravine, and 6 to 1 agst Margrave. Very little
difficulty was experienced in getting the horsesoff; although thir-
teen of them came to the post ; they came off in a body, neither
of them taking much of a lead ; the Winner, Margrave, Land-
gravine, Colonel Wilson's filly, and Dulcinea, lying very forward.
There was no change of importance till about 50 yards from the
chair, when the above lot came a little in advance of the ruck ;
and in a few strides further Chifney's filly and Margrave were in
front ; a pretty race beeween these two ended in favour of the
filly by half a length, and without whipping. The third place has
been given to four or five; we should say, however, that it rested
between Dulcinea and the Duke of Rutland's colt ; Landgravine
and Colonel Wilson's colt were nearly head and head with them;
the others were all up. Value of the Stakes 11301. The betting
on the first class of the two-year-old plate was 5 to 2 against Kit-
turns, 5 to 2 against Arcot Lass, 4 to 1 against Gratis, and 7 to 1
against Miss Mary Anne. In the other class Non ompos was
backed at sto 4 against the field. Miss Mary Anne was the fa-
vourite for the match at 6 to 4.
There was a sale of racing stock in the morning, but very few
of the lots were sold.
At the Kingston.house Rooms the attendance in the evening
was very numerous, and several changes arose iu the odds ; the
winner of the Clearwell Stakes rose to 7 to 1 for the Oaks, and,
Non Compus to 20 to 1 (takers) for the Derby.
Race Course, Wednesday afternoon.
At a late hour last night a match for 3to soya. each, p. p.,
made between the Earl of Chesterfield's Priam, 9st. 21b., and the
Marquis of Exeter's Augustus, Bst., both four y rs. old, A. F.
It excites very great interest, and will no doubt be a heavy
betting race. The enormous disproportion in the weights giving
Augustus a very fair chance of success ; if Priam wins he must
be one of the most extraordinary horses ever bred. The odds
are 6t05 on Priam. The Derby betting has undergone several
alterations ; at the time of sending off our parcel the odds
averaged as follows :
DERBY.-10 to 1 agst the Marquis of Exeter's Beiram ; 18 to
agst the Marquis of Exeter's Folly colt (taken) ; 15 to 1 agst
the Marquis of Exeter's Dulcinea colt ; 17 to 1 agst Mr. Dilly's
Musgrave ; '
20 to 1 agst the Duke of Grafton's Pastilla colt ; ls
to 1 agst Colonel Peel's Non Compos • 25 to I agst Mr. Rids.

KINGSTON-HOUSE ROOMS, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

The match between Priam and Augustus excites great inte-
rest, and the betting is heavy in proportion ; one Noble Lord
betted 500 to 400 on the former ; several others have laid 6 to 5
and 5t04 to a large amount. Augustus has plenty of !sackers,
the immense weight given brightening many who have hitherto
backed Priam in all his races; the odds now are 6 to 5 on Priam

CAPTAIN BEECHEY' VOYAGE TO THE
PACIFIC.-This important work has new reached a third
cditi,:n. The expedition of Captain BEECHEY, iu the
Blossom, has been productive of great and important re-
sults. "An accurate survey," says 131cc3rwood's Maga-
zine, "has been made of the greata part of the Pacific.
A more complete account of the islands of that sea than
ever was before obtained has been laid before the inkblie.
A thousand important errors have been corrected, a thou-
sand important facts have been ascertaineo In the Arctic
regions, discoveries, great in themaeives, and great in their
consequences, have been added to those which went be
fore ; one hundred and forty six miles alone remain on,
traversed. Indeed, this expedition will be for ever me-
morable as one which has added immensaly to our know-
lidge of this earth."
