Betting at starting-6 and 7to 4 agst Switcher, Lord
Stratlmore's two agst the field.
The race was as fine a one as ever was seen. The
course, which was situated near the Croix de Berny,
consisted of two small circles, connected together by a
long straight piece of country ; the circle next the \sin-
ning-post was along the side of a hill, and could all be
viewed by the spectators. Right in front of the winning-
post was the brook, the great leap of the day, and after
the horses had cleared it they went up the country,
rounded the other circle, and came straight home.
At starting Matchless took the lead, Gazely second, St.
Leger in the ruck behind. At one of the fences in mounting
the side of the hill, Switcher refused, but his rider driv-
ing hi.n at it, forced him through. They then all came
down the hill nearly together, having to clear four or
five fences and a wall in their way. Discount was first
over the brook, Matchless second, St. Leger third,
Switcher's hind legs caught in the bank, but his rider
got him up cleverly; Hack and,his rider fell in and lost
all chance. They then drove along up to the circle,
being for a while lost sight of by the spectators. When
.hey appeared again they were nearly all together, and
seven of the horses were over the last leap within a few
seconds of each other. St. Leger, and Young Lottery,
and Discount were all on a line. The two former got a
little in advance just at the finish, and finally St. Leger,
after whip and spur were plied, won by a neck. It was
a quick run race considering the state of the ground, up
wards of four miles being done in less than eleven mi-
nutes. Value of stakes about 30,000 f. The Duke de
mours arrived just as the race had concluded. The
crowd was immense, and the nuutlfrr of carriages greater
than last year. The weather was flue in the morning,
and wet during the running
The second race was about to be run when this re-
port left the ground.

By the projected measure it is also intended to erase
the titles of 113 articles from the tariff, that is to say,
to permit their entrance free of duty, whatever be the
c.;untry or mode of importation; 185 other articles were
also freed from prohibition, but conditionally—some
whenever they should arrive in French vessels or by
land carriage, others if imported exclusively under the
French flag.
The 4th article of the measure, relating to the com-
mercial treaty with Russia, runs thus:—
" Throughout the duration of the treaty concluded on
September 16th, 1846, between France and Russia, all
Russian vessels coming loaded directly from Russian
ports, or if in ballast, from any port, shall enjoy in all
ports belonging to France the same privileges as native
vessels, for the importation of all products of the Russian
soil or manufactures ; as also for all dues on tonnage,
pilotage, harbour, quarantine, and other incidental
charges on shipping. Except as regard Russian vessels
coming, loaded or in ballast, from the Black Sea or the
Sea of Azoff into any port of France."
By the 7th article the port of Rouen is included among
the harbours selected by the law of February 9th, 1832,
as receptacles for prohibited merchandise of every de-
s cri p tion.— Chronicle.

MUNIFICENT DONATION.—A gentleman called a
few days since at Messrs. Hallett's, the bankers to the
Western Dispensary, in Charles street, Westminster,
and said he regretted to see the charity was so poor,
and placing a 501. note on the counter, desired it might
be put to their credit, as the donation of a governor,
declining to leave his name.
