NORTHAMPTON—Moxner.
irROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.A
)
match of rather an unusual kind came off to-day. A
rztebrnan named Daniel, who drives the "old Northampton,"
1%1 a wager of 501. with Lieutenant Wellesley, of the 12th
tsars, that he would ride a horse of his own from London
t
Northampton, and come in with " the Telegraph," Man.
!fiQter fast coach, which leaves London at a quarter before
3,x, and arrives here at about the same time before twelve.
The wager was laid on the 19th of September, and was to
Zle off within a month. This being the last day, and it
itl
th,ng,l'retty generally known that the match would come off,
thc,Wuole of Bridge.strect, and the line of road leading out of
town to London, presented, from the thousands that had
cembled to see the parties come in, a very interesting ap.
inelttence ; and as there were a great number of bets depend-
,
that the
the issue, the people began to be anxious at finding
4 the Telegraph did not, as they supposed, keep its time.
I:t.IY before twelve, by Northampton time, however, Mr.
1,._1.1te1, accompanied by a large number of friends on horse-
i;7lt, who were residents in the borough, made his entrance
~jo the town, and was loudly applauded. In a couple of
itullutes after the Telegraph followed, with a heavy load, being
Minute punctual to its time. It was then found that the
I)4lll'ampton clocks were ten minutes before those of London.
11011 L 'el kept before the Telegraph all the way this side of
littr'lifle, and the horse, as well as its rider, appeared very
a:ice: distressed. The distance is sixty-six miles, and the time
110,...P1.ed in running was six hours, all but a minute. he
ae is not known in the sporting world.

The match had been got up to give the Gem an par
aa the —Y °J. showing her superiority in a stiff gale ; but,r
than b Th4.atch of yesterday went, they arc no nearer the asmark
board .i°re• The articles of the match were drawn out on
1,, .. a
`-tub ma Venus steamer, on the first day of the British Yacht
the - tch (which was re-sailed), and they stipulated that
~40tntest should take place within. Pb fortnight, from Green-
Odds e,°, Gravesend and back, and be saint: by Club rules. The
Posedteri by the Brilliant were six to four, sis#id the 301. prod-
their 2,Y, them was accepted IN the Gem, who fsisiki good
was th.• at the York Hotel, Wat.crinn-road. The Brilliant
one w; favourite, and at starting yust4f4y morning two to
ertgag,s,i°,ffered on her. The Industry, a very_sipAll boat, was
eiltliC— '°r the Commodore and Stewards, but not sore than
anchor
Ho
nine were on board. The two yachts were lying at
• Atationsas early as nine in the
merniri,g, and proceeded to their
Ill'ey canted r"nd well, but the Brilliant was not lio aJert in

hoisting as her adversary, but she still was well under weigh
before her adversary, and showed the wav down. The start
had been early, and in consequence of its being half-past nine
there were but few persons out, the day and the distance not
agreeing sufficiently to tempt any any persons from their homes.
At Woolwich Reach the Brilliant, in beating down against the
dead noser, was a quarter of a mile a-head. Throughout the
way to the Half-way House the gentlemen were surprised at
the speed of both boats, and the Brilliant was a good mile
a-head on the larboard tack. At Grays the Brilliant had im-
proved her advantage by half a mile, but the Gem worked
better, and her weatherly qualities were shown when the breeze
freshened. The tide bad made here, and the two boats worked
the slack down. The Brilliant rounded the boat below the
town at 56 minutes 30 seconds past one, and the Gem at 58
minutes after one. They shifted their jibs for running, and
the Brilliant astonished every person by her extraordinary
power. She could only be compared to a steam-boat. The
Gem spanked up well, but she was no use to her opponent,
and in each succeeding reach was more astern. The Brilliant
rounded the boat off the Hospital at 38 minutes 15 seconds
after four, and her adversary at 45 minutes after. The wind
or light air that prevailed was east north-east. The Gem at
at the station was the weathermost boat. The yachts were not
started untill three hours after high water ; half an hour sooner
would have saved their tide down, and been more judicious.
The Brilliant is a beautiful boat to windward. The three

matches have proved that the Gem, in light air, is of no use to
her, and, as regards the Gem, it was the opinion of the gen-
tlemen that she was not very well handled. We have before
alluded to an accident, which cast a gloom over the victory of
the day. Mr. Hewes, after weathering the boat, was deter-
mined to fire a signal. There was no paper on board for wad-
ding, and a kid glove was jammed into the mouth of the piece.
On its being discharged, a waterman, who was standing on
the Parade, fell. The glove was one of those which button,
and was of brass, had perforated the unfortunate man in the
stomach. Mr. Hewes, on ascertaining the injury he had in-
advertently done, took the wounded man on board the Dread-
nought. Mr. Hewes then applied to the Hospital, and a gen-
tleman, who we understood to be Sir Richard Dobson, imme-
diately inspected the wound. His opinion was that the inflic-
tion was dangerous, but that, if no inflammation ensued, the
man would have every chance of recovery. Mr. Hewes was
but a very sorrowful winner. He expressed his deepest regret
at the accident.

tinent ; they will return to England in two months.

The Earl and Countess of Charleville, after paying
a visit to the Earl of Wilton, at Heaton Park, embarked
fbr Dublin, on their way to Charleville Castle. His
Lordship has relinquished his claims to the vacancy in
the Irish representative Peerage, in favour of Viscount
Hawarden, who will be, therefore, elected without oppo-
sition.

The Earl and Countess of Mansfield have been
entertaining a select party at Scone Palace during the
Caledonian races. Among the visitors were Lord William
Graham, Sir Stratford and Lady Canning, Lady Glenlyon,
and the Hon. George Murray, Lord and Lady Ruthven,
Hon. Captain and Mrs. Villiers, the Austrian Count
Erdody, &c.
Hedworth Lambton, Esq., M.P., and his Lady,
have arrived at Murton House, near Chester-le-street.

The new theatre in Norton Folgate, of which Mr.
Cockerton is the sole proprietor, and which has been some
time erecting, under the direction of Mr. Beazeley, is now
nearly completed. It is a large, handsome structure, ca-
pable of containing three thousand persons, and to guard
against accidents, is formed with numerous landings and
doorways.
It is said that Mrs. Meader (late Miss Clara
Fisher) who has been eminently successful in America, is
on the point of concluding an engagement with the spirited
and indefatigable lessee of Drury Lane Theatre.
The Earl and Countess of Munster and family are
expected at the Lodge, Bushey Park, on Thursday next,
from Brighton.
The Marquis of Clanricarde arrived in St. James's..

fire seven years ago, has been rebuilt.
The Marquis of Hertford and his extensive suite
are still at Brussels, whence it is said his Lordship goes

ford. -
Stafford Smith, Esq. was buried at Chelsea, and
(from a whim of posthumous vanity) in his full court dress,
of a blue silk coat, white satin breeches, waistcoat to cor-
respond, pumps and silver buckles, rings on his fingers,
with his gold-headed cane in his hand. This piece of va-
nity exceeds that of the nobleman who, while dying, hav-
ing been created a knight of the garter, ordered his star
and ribband to be put on as be lay in bed, and so contem-
plated his new insignia. Mr. Bradbury succeeds to the
vacancy of gentleman of the Chapel Royal, and Mr. Haw-
kins is his deputy. The office of deputy becomes one of
consideration, because the holder is secure of an appoint-

ment.
Mrs. Ann Mitchell, of Bosham, who died lately at
the age of 100 years, walked to Church on the Easter
Sunday preceding in her wedding-gown, which was made

A distress warrant was executed on the goods of
the Rev. D. E. Ford (Independent minister of Lymington),
on Monday last, for the payment of Church-rate, amount-
ing to 10s. lid. ; the goods are to be sold on Saturday
next. Mr. Ford has put forth a handbill, in which he very
briefly and satisfactorily states his reasons for the refusal of
the rate :—" I am," says he, " a Protestant non-conformist ;
I consider all State establishments of religion decidedly
wrong, and were the congregational form established to-
morrow, the next morning would find me a non-conformist, a
Dissenter still. There is a point at which compliance becomes
criminal ; I have now arrived at that point ; they may take
my goods, they may imprison me ; I was going to say they
may burn nae to ashes (but, thanks be to God, those halcyon
days of Church dominion are passed), but not one farthing
shall they obtain from me by compulsion. I have now set
an example which I am determined to abide by, and on my
dying bed I shall have the consolation of feeling that I was at
least consistent ; that I did not preach one thing and prac-
tice another."—Brighlon Patriot.
SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday last, soon
after the Railway train left Greenhead for Carlisle, Mr. R.
Gordon, one of the guards, imprudently attempted to pass
along the carriages, by jumping from step to step, when
his foot slipped and he fell, with his legs under the carriage,
the wheels of which passed over him. One of his legs was
nearly cut in two, and the other dreadfully injured. Am-
putation of the limb was had recourse to, and he now lies
in a very dangerous state.—Carlisle Journal,
THE WEATHER.—Wet ! wet ! wet ! ! !—and
nothing but rain says the mercury. Yet whenever we see
a fair " blink," our hopes mount directly ; but, alas ! in a
short time on comes the regular drizzle, and down we fall
below zero. We trust things will not continue long thus,
else many a field of excellent corn will be destroyed. It
is truly lamentable to observe the eager and wistful gazes
that the Irish reapers cast over fields, as they wend their
way homeward, that want but a few days of sunshine to
make them ready for the sickle ; fain would they stay. but
the weather presents little inducement. In this quarter, a
few patches here and there are cutting down, but in others
the corn is ao green that we are afraid there will be no
" kirn" this season at the cutting of it.—Glasgow Liberator.
The Postmaster-General has granted a mail coach
from London to Wisbech, on the petition of the inha-
bitanis.—Slar in the East.
New silver mines have been discovered at Tchere-

panoosk, Krakoosk, and Ridlersk, in Russia. The veins
are said to be numerous and The smelting houses at
Zlaloust are already employed in extracting the metal, for
which, hitherto, Russia has been tributary to Sweden and
England. The Emperor takes groat interest in this new
produce of the country.
On Thursday last, October 6th, a fine royal stag, of
an extraordinary colour, being nearly white, or a silvery
grey, was shot in Mar Forest, by James Cattanach, head
