unprecedented sport with regard to the turf, for the particulars
of which we refer our Readers to another part of our Paper ; in-
deed. the min d'iril of . f ."-" ~,,,nurse is beyond an ade-

beauty expressed in the charms of our fair countrywomen, on
the walls and in the grand stand, terminated by the view of
majestic mountains of North Wale,-anti the inn; CU,UII Li y -gum
who parade the race-course, is also worthy of our attention.—
The ball at the Royal Hotel was numerously and elegantly at-
tended on Wednesday—another to be there on Friday—the
theatre crowded to excess, as was Cook's circus, which admitted
of the horses moving with difficulty. Pantoccini, rope-dancing,
monkies, Italians (vocal and instrumental), oratorio—a very
fine selection, with various
other amusements, attracted the
attention of the public. races have certainly increased
in consequence of late years,

The report of the defeat of our troops on the
Gold Coast has unhappily been confirmed by the arrival of dis-
patches from that place. We still hope that the statements of
our losses are greatly over-rated, and -we are strengthened in
this hope, from the circumstance of the Colonial Office having
received letters stating that Sir C. M`CaitTfty, although de-
feated, had rallied again. To this brave, intelligent, and en-
terprising officer, the colony is indebted for many judicious
regulations, tending to its improvement and prosperity ; his
loss, therefore, (should the report of his death prove true,)
would be deeply felt, and we hesitate not in saying that
it would be difficult to find one so well qualified to perform
the many important duties which devolved on him. A Mr.
Hutton has published a letter in the " SUN," in which ho
gives it as his opinion, that from his personal knowledge of the
character of the King of the Ashantees, he is convinced that Sir
C. M`Carthy's life would be spared, if he has been made pri-
soner.—We sincerely wish this may prove to be the case.—

PARISIAN COSTUMES.--The French adopt the
same plan which takes place in our monthly Journals, of repre-
senting the costumes of their Ladies of high rank, except that
theirs is a Tiarterly selection of their female fashions. A work
of this kind is published in London. Each number consists
of six plates of figures, representing elegant females' with
the dresses coloured after the French examples, and to
each is annexed a descriptive explanation in the French lan
guage. There are also plates representing the head dresses
of the Ladies, and the flounces of their outward garments., A
more copious description, with observations, concludes each
number. The numbers at present amount to seven, and those
which we have seen have sufficient merit in the engravings, and
are well coloured. This work may be considered as a deside-
ratum to our fashionable Belles, from whom it seems to receive
great encouragement.

The following Gentlemen were yesterday
called to the degree of Barristers at Law, by the Honourable
Society of Lincoln's Inn :__Fitzroy Kelly, Esq., and Edward
Bird, Esq.
