THE

. THE GREAT BRITAIN.
We perceive nearly all the accounts mentioning
the extrication of the Great Britain award the credit
of the accomplishment of that feat to all but those
who assisted most in that eventful work—we mean that
he names of Mr. Bellamy, Assistant Master Atten-
dant of Portsmouth Dockyard, Commander Ingram,
,f her Majesty's ship Birkenhead, and Commander
Caffin, of her Majesty's ship Scourge, are not even
mentioned in some prints which have published most
about this affair, or, if mentioned, so casually as
scarcely to engage the notice of the reader, and their
ships alluded to only as mere tugs.
All this is very unfair, as we know that the first
named of the above scientific gentlemen and the party
,f 60 riggers and shipwrights under his command,
,vent on board the Great Britain on the 10th of
august, and continued to live on board, and work,
watch and watch, both night and day, until she was
'float, and navigated her, in tow of the Birkenhead
team-frigate, to Liverpool.
The following acknowledgment of the talent dis-
.)layed and services rendered by her Majesty's officers
tryi men from the Lords of the Admiralty will,
however, be some little reward fur the untiring per-
everance exhtbitei by them in the pursuit of their
rduous and responsible labours
Admiralty, August 31.
" Sir,— 11 aving laid before my Lords Commissioners
f the Admiralty your letters of the 25th, 29th, and
30th inst., I am commanded by their Lordships to
cquaint you that they have learnt with much satis-
action that the assistance afforded by yourself, your
,fficers, and ship's company, together with those of
Commander Caffin, and the officers and crew of the
Scourge, aided by the skill and labour of Mr.
Bellamy, and the dockyard party and men of the
Victory under his orders, have proved effectual in
rile removing the Great Britain from the beach in
Dundrum Bay, and in finally transporting that vessel
to Liverpool.
" My Lords are aware of the extreme toil under-
gone by all engaged in this work, and the per-
-evering zeal and good conduct of all parties em-
ployed is thoroughly appreciated by their Lordships.
" I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
"W. A. B. lIAMIL roN.
" To Commander Ingram, her Majesty's ship
Birkenhead, Liverpool."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—ln the course of the next ten days will he
decided a problem laid down by those clever 211athe-
maticians at Danebury, as to whether they can break
the spell hanging over the winner of the Derby, and
thereby produce in one horse the victor of both St.
Leger and Derby, is a point the decision of which
is anxiously looked for by thousands of sportsmen in
our sporting island, where, to use Cowper's words,

" We justly boast
At least superior jockeyship, and claim
The honours of the turf as all our own."
But Doncaster, unlike most of our crack meetings,
has been until very lately the hotbed of the most
infamous transactions; never a meeting passed but
what some very dubious prank was played off, to the
infinite satisfaction of a few scoundrels, and the dis-
comfiture of the public. It is to be hoped we shall
this year get through the week without any of the
swindling " moves" of former times.
Being within a week of the great Olympic festival
of the North, it is necessary that I should forthwith
lay before your readers " a full, true, and particular
account" of the state of that portion of the St. Leger
nags whose names are as " familiar in our mouths as
household words," or, to speak plainly, that im-
portant detachment, the favourites, now reduced in
number to seventeen—this includes every horse in
any kind of favour, the rest are not likely to trouble
the judge, not even Mogador, Montpensier, or limn
of Chase :it very dubious whether one of this trio
will start.

To commence with the " great gun," Cossack,
who has been backed off and on to win about
20,0001 ; his performances how he ran third
(coughing at the time) to Miami for the July Stake,
last year; his clever defeat of War Eagle at New-
market, for the Newmarket Stakes ; and his ea.y
victory over a large field at Epsom for the Derby,
are well known to all sporting circles; his subsequent
rise in the odds, almost unparalleled, for a great race,
until backed with odds on him against the field,
shows the confidence placed in bim by the public ;
but there is a trifling qmestion wants an answer :
can Cossack get the extra two furlongs and a half?
According to a trial which came off a short time
since, I should say he cowl I ; but as I have not much
faith in the aforesaid trial, I shall take leave to insert
a doubt on the subject.
Coss-Ick will have J. Day, jun., or Templeman,
most probably the former, for his jockey.
Planet, by Bay Middleton out of Plenary—the
pedigree is good, very good; but I am confident, in
spite of Kent's assertion that he can now manage the
distance, that his forte is a mile, or a mile and a
quarter at the most—he'll not win the Leger I
Eryx, by St. Martin, out of Venus, is a nag of the
Hero sort, game and strong, and well adapted
for long courses, but for the Leger without a
chance.

Van Tromp carries a large sum, and his friends
have been particularly sweet on him: it is just
possible he may be the winner—more I cannot say
about him until next week with any degree of cer-
tainty.
Philosopher and Black Dwarf are thorough-bred
impostors ; philosophy must be in great requisition to
back such brutes as these, the Liberator, and Exe-
cutor ; not one of the four will get beyond the Red
House looking like a winner.
Mr. Martin and the Swallow—neither can have
the ghost of a chance against Cossack or Van Tromp :
only one of the pair will start, which I cannot say.
Of all the fillies, Major Yarburgh's Sally Maggs
is decidedly the best; she has onlybappeared in public
once,the
cognomen andth e n she
of beatvict
rae s
st,h iirnd -trhaet e r,
most delightingridic in
s
ulou
style imaginable.
✓Foreclosure may be sent to make running for the
" crack," but beyond that will do nothing.
Oxonian, if he runs, will be fdund to have improved
very slightly in his EpQom form.
Tyrone, if a starter, will run very forward ; he is
admirably adapted to the St. Leger Course.
Red Hart, perhaps, without exception, has been
backed for the most money. Previous to his MILE de-
feat at Goodwood he was much fancied, but, for my
own part, I give the pas to his stable companion
Halo, the distance suiting the latter admirably; let
Halo come to the post in good condition and he will
be one of the first three.

Mathematician is not likely to see Doncaster, I
undersrand ; if he did put in an appearance it would
be to no purpose.
Last on the list, but if quite up to the mark, not
last in the race by any manner of means, is the high-
bred Limestone, by Touchstone, out of Decoy, a
splendid specimen of the racer, who will trouble the
leaders in the ensuing scramble more than their
owners bargained for. Take care of this animal, or
he may, perchance, make his northern friends merry
at the expense of the Southrons.
Now, with the exception of Cossack, Van Tromp,
Sally Maggs, Hal.., and Limestone, I have—
" Each horse tested with care ;
" Each to the touchstone I've applied,
" And by the current standard tried,
" And found deficiency there."
Next week I purpose giving my conclusive re-
marks on this great race.
Warwick Meeting commences to-morrow for a
two days' bout, and with a fair list of business on
paper.
The Leamington Stakes will come off thus :
Wolfdog 1
Game Lass filly . • •
1%1 iss Burns ... .
Gwalior ..............
The Hero will probably walk over for the Queen's
Plate.
The Foal Stakes will go to Aliwal or the half-bred
Congress.
The Castle Pack Stakes something in this way
Snylock
Spaniard.
Lahore
The Bury Stakes to Mr. Meiklam.
The Great Warwickshire Stakes to Ellerdale,
Wanota and Luminous being handy.
The Warwick Cup, having the formidable names of
the Hero and Wolfdog entered, of course throws any
others chances away.
The Town Plate will probably go to Foxwhelp,
Crown Prince, or Congress.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.
THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.
Monday, Sept. 6.

CEIRISTENING tic EXETEE-11A.LL.—Last Sunday
morning the infant son of the Earl and Countess of
Ducio was baptized by the Rev. Dr. Cumming, in the
large room, Exeter-hall. The noble lord with his
countess stood up before the vast auditory which over-
flows Exeter hall every Sunday, and the minister put to
him the vows and obligations that belong to this sacra-
ment. Lord Ducie then presented his child in his arms
at the baptismal basin, according to the usage of the
Established Church of Scotland, and the minister poured
water on its brow after the usual manner. The severe
simplicity of the ceremony gave it, in the circumstances,
an impressive character.
The potato crop turns out so exceedingly produc-
tive around Salisbury this season, that one grower has
