rist, 7 to 1 agst Van Amburgh, 16 to 1 agst The
Squire, 18 to 1 agst Eringo, and 50 to 1 agst Galaor.
The horses reached the post within a few minutes of
the appointed time, and got off with only one failure.
Cattonian took the lead, followed by Coronation and
Scott's two, in which order they ran to the gravel road,
where Coronation took up the running at'a steady pace,
Van Amburgh lying behind, Satirist and Cattonian
next, mid then the ruck, The Squire and Gabuor being
in the rear. In this manner the race progressed to the
mile-post, where Satirist and Van Amburgh changed
places, and Cattonian fell back, Eringo being now in
an advanced position. In making the Red House turn,
Eringo failed in an attempt to reach the leading horses,
1 and a simFar attempt of Pagan's met with the same want
'of success. The Squire now showed in front ; lent,
having to do round his horses, aid not reach Sati-
rist till half-way between the
_yed Heitse and
the road; he then took his ground, an in company with
Satirist waited on the crack to the distance, where Sa-
tirist went up and headed Coronation about a neck ; John
Day here gave his horse a pull, but it was evident that
he was in difficulty ; he certainly rallied at the
Stand, but tired every stride from want of con-
dition, and was beaten in the struggle home by
half a neck. The Squire was about three parts of g,
length behind Coronation ; Pagan was fourth, Van
Amburgh and Erinengardis fifth and sixth, and hack
Sheppard seventh ; Galaor and Eringo, we believe, were
the last two. Value of the Stakes 3,500/. The race
was run in three minutes twenty-two seconds. It seems
to be the common opinion that Coronation lost the race
trom want of adequate preparation, and if it be true
that he sweated on Thursday last, and never had a gallop
from that time up to the hour of starting, he cannot be
said to have been beaten on his merits. In conse-
quence of the letter alluded to above, Mr. Lockwood ap-
plied to. the Steward to know how many horses he was
to place, and he was directed to place two only.

MEETING AT THE. CLUB HOUSE.
The Corporation, taking alarm, at the obvious diminu-
tion of public interest in their races, and anxious before
it be too late to avert the ruinous consequences of their
decline; this day invitel the Noblemen and Gentlemen,
who are the chief supporters of the races, to meet a de-
putation of their body at the Club House, with a view
of offering, such suggestions, or receiving such proposi-
tions as might appear best calculated to give tl-
- satisfaction. The meeting accordingly took
place at eleven o'clock and on the part of the Cl-ab was
attended by Lord Maidstone and Sir Charles Ibbetson,
(the Stewards), Lord G. Bentinck, the Marquis of Nor-
manby, Lord Chesterfield, Sir David :aird, the Lion.
Col. Anson, the lion. G. Byng, Mes‘",rs. Cookson, Orde,
Allen, &c. The deputation consisted of Sir Isaac
MOrley, some of the 41dermva, and Mr. Mason, the town
clerk. Lord Maidstone, having taken the chair, called
upon the depatatiw:i to state any proposition m'hich they
had to make, w/..en Mr. Mason, on behalf of the Corporation
said that t, was instructed to recommend a few altera-
tio'as, which, it was hoped, would also be considered im-
provements. The first was, the reduction of the days of
running from five to four, to commence on the Tuesday
instead of Monday. The next was, the nominatiens
of Stewards on Wednesday, with a view to soliciting
subscriptions to a great Northern Handicap, as at Good-
wood and elsewhere, and the third, fur reducing the riw
balls from two to one. Mr. Mason was proceeding to
explain some proposed alterations in the weights for the
Cup, and other races, when he was interrupted
by Lord G. Renaud:, who observed that those
were matters which would properly be left to
a Racing Committee. The great 1193':c to come
at was, whether the Corporation 'were prepared
to enhance the amount of their cor!ributions as an en-
couragement to gentlemen t 9 tbntinue their support to
the meeting. Mr. Mason, .":a reply, intimated that the
Corporation were klisVned to continue the sum given this
year, 5001., but tIvITt evidently did not meet the ideas
of the gentlenY:
recapitula t: present, and Lord G. Bentinck having
ed the large sums given at Liverpool, Newcas-
tle: Iv "oiverhampton, Goodwood, Ascot, and elsewhere, far
l'-..ceeding those contributed by the rich Corporation of
Doncaster, and creating a natural and very successful
tivalry, it was agreed that an adjournment should take
place till the next day, in order that some substantial
proposition should be considered by the Corporation,
so that the patrons of the turf may at once ascer-
tain whether they will be justified in continuing their
countenance to Doncaster, or transferring it to places
where the encouragement is commensurate with the ad-
vantage received. The deputation then retired, pro-
mising to call a meeting of the Corporation to decide upor,
what was to be done; but declaring that they wero
pared to do all in their power to give general satisF:iejon

The following extraordinary case came, a few
days ago, before the Court of Assize of the Pas de
Calais. On the 12th of May last a female named The-
rese Decamp, residing at HanescarnpP, was found by one
of her neighbours in a barn, sitting on a chair, with ts. quantity of blood at her feet, in which were several
pieces of flesh without the skin. Tlw woman who dis-
covered her in this situation immediately exclaluied,
" You were pregnant, and you have just assassinated
your child." No answer to this accusation was
given, and some medical men were called in, who,
after an examination declared that Therese De-
camp had really given birth to 'a child. The
pieces of flesh were then submitted to them and exa-
mined, and they declared although the head, arms, leg 4,

were immersed by them in water, and the result was a
declaration that the child had been born alive. 1-TP.°?.
this evidence Therese Decamp was committed for triad
upon a charge of infanticide, under all the horriblebn
cir-
cumstances implied by the discovery which had
made. Her defence, however, gave a very different colour
to the transaction, and excited astonishment andb 115(1r

ESCAPE FROM agowNlNG.—Yesterday morn-
ing M. de Rhin, a foreign gentleman, had a narrow
escape from drowning near the Custom-house. It ap-
pears, that not being accustomed to steam-boats, he be-
came greatly alarmed at the swell, and in trying to
place himself in the middle of the wherry, he over-
balanced himself and fell into the water, calling loudly
for assistance. The current being very strong at the
time, he was carried rapidly away with the tide, and had
it not been for the prompt assistance of the watermen he
would have perished. On being safely landed, he with
difficulty expressed his gratitude to the men who had res-
cued him, and presented them each with a Napoleon for
their trouble.
