LETTER FROM ST. DOMINGO.

We learn from Captain Norton, of the brig Wasson,
arrived at this port, this day, from Aux Cayes, 12th
March, that the news of the election of a new President
had reached that place about the 6th of March. The
name of the President is Raokere. He is a black, an
old General, and quite popular among the people. The
inhabitants of Aux Cayes were greatly excited, shops
all shut up, and no business done, on account of the
difficulty expected between the officers and soldiers—
the former not being favourable to the new President,
and the latter, nearly to a man, being in his favour.
But it was expected ho would be well received. Presi-
dent Pierrott, when satisfied that the people wished a
change, resigned, and also stating that it was his wish
to do so and retire, wishing to live in private. The sol-
diers that had marched some time previous for the Cape
had returned, and heard no talk of the army that was
to march against the Dominicans. A French Govern-
ment steamer touched about the 9th, and sailed for Port
au Prince.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
NEWMARKET RACES—TUESDAY.
The late hour at which the racing terminated this
afternoon puts it out of our power to devote more than
half a dozen lines to introductory matter, and for the
reason that the principal event was not decided until
within a quarter of an hour of the departure of the
coach for the last train, we must reserve any remarks
that it may call for until our next parcel. Briefly, there-
fore, the attractions of the list centred in the Handicap,
and the numerous arrivals of visitors of all ranks by the
special train, testified that the public took no slight in-
terest in it. As we purpose to give the usual list of the
fashionable arrivals in a future report, it will be sufficient
to state here that his Royal Highness Prince George of
Cambridge arrived by the special train and honoured the
heath with his presence, and that the show of aristo-
cratic, fashionable, and general company was quite as
large as we had anticipated. The weather was fine, and
the sport plentiful enough to satisfy any reasonable
appetite.
