The sporting world here are in amaze at the result of the
races of this day. The favourite for that great contest, the St.
Leger Stakes—.-is, to the astonishment of the knowing ones,
beaten. The crack horse of yesterday, at three and a half, and
three to one, is now gone back to sixteen to one. An unknown
colt has won the Produce Stakes, when the odds were twenty
to one against him ; and what must appear singular, the winner
is not in the St. Leger. We scarcely need add,
. that there was
an unusual number of long faces, anti that the most correct
arithmetical calculations will be necessary to bring the books
right. The appearance of the course was extraordinary. The
most cunning were outdone, and all they can by possibility
effect will not bring them square this time.

A MATRIMONIAL HOAX.—An advertisement
appeared a few weeks since, in one of the London Morning Pa.
pers, which purported to be from a Gentleman in want of a fe-
male of good disposition and a cultivated mind, possessing for.
tune sufficient to give the adviser (a surgeon) the means of esta-
blishing himself in practice, and who was willing to become the
partner of his domestic comforts through life, by accepting him
as a husband; in answer to which a young gentleman of Bridge.
water addressed a letter, according to the directions of the ad.
vertisenient, describing himself as a Min Lucy Upland, the
daughter of a late merchant in Bristol, and possessing an rode.
pendent fortune, but who, from the circumstance of her mother
having married it second time, wished particularly, to alter her
situation in life, and who would be glad to hear further parti-
culars of the gentleman. A reply was received by return of
post from the gentleman, giving his name John A__re, ex.
pressing the greatest delight at the lady's letter, and describing
himself as a person of " a cultivated mind, an equable temper,
a moral and religious character, affectionate disposition, domes.:
tic habits, and of the greatest respectability." After this a regii.
lar correspondence took place, and it was settled that the gentle.
man should come to Ilridgeiwater ; on Saturday last he arrived
at the Globe Inn, where luangaged a. couple of private rooms
for a fortnight, and was waited on by the young gentleman, 11.4
a particular friend of Miss Upland's, and deputed by her to
visit him. On Sunday they walked to church together, and the
evening was appointed for an interview with the lady, but be.
fore the time arrived, two gentlemen who happened to be at the
Globe, heard of the circumstance, discovered the hoax, and raised
a complete laugh against the unfortunate surgeon, who vowed
vengeance on the youth, and addressed him a letter, complain.
ing of his unfeeling and unmanly conduct, saying that he was
determined to proceed against hint for a fbrgcry, and demands
ing satisfaction • but before a reply could be sent, the Sociable
coach conveyed from a spot, the remembrance of which
will, no doubt, for ever wring the tortured heart of so ardent
and disinterested a lover ! It is to be hoped that this will be
a lesson to him for the future, and teach him that the ladies of
Somersetshire are not so prodigal of their fortunes and personal
attractions as to be duped by the schemes of a speculating
Cockney.--( Te 11414071, Courier.)

GENERAL. ELECTION.--We learn with very
great pleasure, that the non. 'WILLIAM BItA•
BAZON, son of that highly respected Nobleman*
the Earl of MEATH, being now of age, intends to
offer himself to the consideration of the Electors
of the county of Dublin at the next General
glection.—(.Dublin 14'reentan'$ Journal)

Our Readers are aware that his Lordship had
intimated that he should close his present Sittings

informed that there were several causes of consi.
derable importance, which strongly pressedlor
disposal, consented to preside in his private
room, and, pursuant to that regulation, came -40
the Hall this day, at half-past nine o'clock.

COMYN V. SMITH.

This was an application praying the Court to
order the delivery "up of certain deeds and
writings relative to two of the estates named in the
pleadings, and also praying the payment ,im►to
Court of between 1t2,0001. and 13,0001. in addi-
tion to the fund already in the Bank of England,
and that two of the plaintiffs, the surviving chil-
dren of the plaintiff in the former suit, might be
at liberty to receive out the interest on the former
fund, to he divided in equal shares, as the Master
should direct.

The LORD CuANcELLoit—Take the Order, as
prayed. "

INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT— (Tins DAY.)
Charles Mays formerly of Camberwell, Attor-
aey, came up to claim his discharge, which .was
opposed by Mr. Samuel Brown in person, who
stated to the Court that he had employed the
Insolvent professionally to collect in debts, and
also supplied him with money to carry on law
proceedings. Mr. 13. was about entering into
the nature of his transactions, when Mr. HEATH,
the Insolvents Counsel, asked Mr. Brown if he
had not accepted a warrant of Attorney for the
debt, who replied in the affirmative. The Coujur
here said, by taking the warrant of Attorney he
waved all further claim against him, and deckaFed.
the Insolvent entitled to his discharge.
