Very few words will sake ler the description of this
great race, which is always an object of extraerdinary
interest to the constant Irc quentei s of the Fret.ch turf.
The start was not very boot. La liei❑e Margot went
away with the lead, and kept it to the hill, when sko
was overtaken by Laura. For a few moments the latter
got the lead, but, on passing the stands, La Reine Mar-
got was again in front. On passing the stables, how-
ever, she was caught ty 'rrot,quette and Glands, which
had been lying in the rear. From thence up the hill all
three lay close tegether. At the last tuning Glands
went ahead, and kept that position to the winning-post,
at which he arrived easi:y by about a lergth and a half
in advance of Tronquette, Admiral Sir Ch.rles being
third. Colonel Peel stopptd long before the race was
terminated. The race was a very fair one.
Among the members of the Jockey Club, there was no
betting on any of the preceding races, nor on any of
those which took place on Saturday. Some surprise was
expressed at no bets being risked on the St. Leger. The
English frequenters of the course, however, staked some
little cash on the last-mentioned race; and, as far as we
could gather from the contradictory statements that were
made, they considered Bataclan the favourite.—Galiy-
nani of Mo❑day.

courses in England, to be constructed.

TILE REPORTED MARRIAGE OF TILE DUKE OF
WELLINGTON AND Miss BURDETT COUTTS —lt IS now
stated, upon the authority of an inmate a the Palace,
that the idea of the marriag,, of the •t Hero of a Hundred
Fights" to Miss Burdett Ceutts originated in the do-
mestic circle of royalty. The great Duke, having re-
ceived a royal command to dine with the Queen, the
conversation, amongst other topics, incidentally turned
upon the rich heiress, in the course of which her Ma-
jes±y, struck by a sudden thought, jocularly suggested
that Miss Burdett Gratis and the licke of Wellington
would make a good match. This singular notion caused
a hearty laugh, and is the real foundation of the reports
relative to the anticipated marriage of these well known
personages.

Atkins was insured in the Sun Fire-office.

THE HARVEST, &e. IN ROSS.SIIIRE.—Since our last
have had the most brilliant weather, and the harvest is
all but concluded. Potato lifting has been proceeding
extensively during the week, and except in a very few'
localities the crop is excellent, and we believe the price
will hardly exceed 15s. per boll. This high price is not
occasioned by any defect in the crop, but from a less
quantity having been planted this year. The corn crops
have been got in, in first-rate condition, and the quality
and weight certainly above an average. We have heard
some complaints us to the yield of wheat. In som•
plaeeo there is smut, and the yield was in others light
