At the Ashted Park Races, on Monday, two serious accidents
happened. Norval, the jockey, mounted the hunter Sullivan,
but the horse refused the start, turned restive, reared, and fell
over, and the jockey was so much injured, that he (lied in the
evening. Cramp, another jockey, was thrown in the race, on
Ranter, and had his collar-bone broken.

by Smolensko, beating four others.

COWES, AUG. 1.
We are now all bustle and gaiety, and never was there wit-
nessed more rank, beauty, and fashion, at this favourite place
of resort, than at the present time indeed, there is amusement
in abundance prepared for our visitors. The following is a part
of the bill of fare:—

Rowing Matches will take place on Thursday next, com-
mencin,, at 11 o'clock, a. m.—The Sailing Match on Friday

won first prizes in preceding years may enter for this Match ;
also vessels registered at any British port, tonnage not to ex-
ceed 34; but there will be no restriction as to the number of
men, sails, spars, or-ballast.—The prizes to the winning ves-
sels will be 30 sovereigns, 20 sovereigns, 12 sovereigns, 8 sove-
reigns.—To the losing vessels two sovereigns each.—To the

The death of the Earl of Craven has cast a general gloom
amongst the numerous friends of that late much-respected
Nobleman. His Lordship was one of the principal patrons of
yacht sailing, and owner of the tine ship Louisa.

PIGEON FLYING.
ExPEDIT lON EXTRAORDINARY.—various feats have,
within the last few years, been performed by pigeons, an&
among the latest was that of one of the Flemish breed turned
loose after the fight for the championship at Warwick, by
Ilarry England, of .e Green Man Inn, Kent-road, which per-
formed the ninety-two miles in three hours and thiry-tive
minutes. This was exceeded on Monday ; a Mr. Attwood
having made a bet of 100 sovereigns, first, that he would
let six pigeons loose on the high ground near Crostwick (be-
tween Norwich and North Walsham) 114 miles, and that one
should arrive at his loft in the Sanctuary, St. George's-fields,
within 4 hours and a half; and the bird was at the end of his
flight in 12 minutes within the given time. The other part of
the match was 501. that the second bird would not be at home
in five hours and a half; and alike sum that the third bird
would not be at home in 7 hours. The second bird reached his
destination within five hours ; but the other was not heard of
during the day. This beats the Antwerp flying hollow.

On Sunday morning, between the hours of
eleven and twelve, the house of Mr. Turner, a dissenting
clergyman, in the Albany-road, Camberwell, was broken into
during the absence of that gentleman and his family at the Al-
bany. Chapel, and robbed of M. in sovereigns, besides a quan-
tity of plate. Information of the same was given at Union-
hall, together with the description of three men who are sus-
pected, and who were observed lurking about the neighbour-
hood previous to tile robbery.
