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 gloomh 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
Cam zou, whose starting, up to Monday night, was very
doubtful; both were backed for large stakes. The races
commenced with

EASTER WRESTLING.
The annual sports of Camden Town commenced on
Monday at the Brecknock Arms, the play being in the
Cornish style, and chiefly between the men of " the Bri-
tish California" and the adjoining county of Devon. The
proceedings opened with a match for a couple of sove-
reigns betwen Keaslater, of Devon, and Cummins!, of
Becks, in which the Devonian proved the victor, bring-
ing the Berkshire man to the ground twice in succession.
Radford (D.), 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.), aad Clements (C.),
in a brief space of time. Potherbridge (D.), a new
wrestler in the London ring, made a successful debut, by
flooring two Cornishmen in succession, and making him-
self also a double player. Charles Verran (C.), scienti-
fically disposed of the pretensions of a very fine young
man of the Life Guards, who stated himselt 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 well 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 camed 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
lebuse succeeding themselves in putting the flames out.
The only information that could ho learned was, that a
bed and bedding were burned, and a child about four
years of age was so fi ightfully burned, that its death
was hourly expected. The premises, which were let out
in ttnements, were owned by a Mr. Sullivan, who was
under an erroneous impression that if he allowed
the firemen to enter ho would have to pay for their
attendance.

ACCELERATION OF THE 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 con?munity, and fully appreciated.—Cork
Examiner,
