THE LAPRAIME RACES.

There was much good sport on the Laprairic Course, on
Wednesday the 11th of Oct. last, being the first day of the Races,
and a large concoure of people was collected :—About three
o'clock the contest for the Maiden Plate took place, between
Mr. Baker's black horse, Mr. Nathaniel Jones's bay mare, and
a bay horse belonging to Joseph Odell, lisq. During the first
beat, the black led the way, the bay horse followed next, and
although not a match for him, run a very respectable race. In
the second, heat, the black still kept his superiority, the bay
horse kept next, until nearly two thirds of the course had
been passed, when Mr. Jones' mare shot by him, and followed
the black very closely tp the winning post.—The black won
the plate.

The second race was for the Steani.boat Purse, and was con-
tested by Mr. Kauntz's horses, Sir Walter and Listnahago,
both vrry fine hones —and the Bedford. The race being de-
clared a dead heat between Sir Walter and Lismaliago, it was
decided that they should repeat the race. This last was a great
display of power, which seldom has been observed so egnal be.
tween two animals. Sir Walter came out best, •althotigh the
race was finely' contested by I.isma!w..v.—( The Canadiim

Accounts from St. Petersburgh, dated the 4th
alt. state that Messrs. ANJOU and %YuANGEL,
Lieutemints in the Imperial Russian Navy, who
during the last three years have been busied in
Astronomical AdmeaSurements on the Northern
coast of Siberia, are expected home this winter.
Science, it is anticipated, will be much indebted to
these indefatigable travellers for many important
results flowing from their unremitted labours :
The Lamas brought hither by Capt. LASAUEW,
from Peru some years ago, and which were play-
ed the Menagerie at Zarskojesilo, thrive amaz•
ingly well. Their numbers are considerably in.
creased; which is a decisive proof that the climate
and their diet agree with them. After experi.
encing a slight frost, unaccompanied by any snow,
the weather has again' set in very mild. This
will be of importance in .enabling the remainder
of the ships to get away.
The public will be gratified in learning that
our gallant countryman, Captain PAanx, has
been appointed Hydrographer to the Admiralty.
On. Thuriiday the' Officers of the. Consistorial
Court of the Diocese of St. Asaph (of which Court the vener-
able Dean of St. Asaph is Chancellor), celebrated the fiftieth
anniversary of their respected Chancellor's judicial administra-
tion, by dining together at the White Lion Inn, St. Asaph.—
The i)ean was invited, but circumstances connected with his
health obliged hint to be absent the mark of respect was, how.
ever, most feelingly and
,politely acknowledged.
Mr. MAC2EAUY plays for the last time on Sa•
turday, till after Easter. Mr. KEAN plays for
the first time on Monday, being now quite well.
ACCIDENT AT COVENT GARDEN* THEATIIE.---,
On Wednesday night, as the throng at the door of the pit was
struggling to get in first, to get a sight of his 31AJEsTv, a
young luau of the name of Henry Thomson (a clerk at one
of
the mercantile houses in the city), was unfortunately pushed
down and severely trampled upon. lie was carried to the
tavern at the corner of the Piazza, much hurt.
