juries he received at Newcastle are not of such a serious
nature as were at first supposed.
To conclude my St. Leger remarks, I will name ten
animals, from which I firmly believe the winner will
spring, viz., Comoush, Fancy Boy, Dolo, Grimston,
Brocardo, Ingo, Sting, Pyrrhus the First, Joinville, and
Sir TattDn Sykes ; and if I were obliged to take but
five to produce the winner, I should name Comoush,
Fancy Boy, Sting, Pyrrhus, and Grituston.
The Liverpool meeting commences on Wednesday
with the Bickerstaffi Stakes, which lago or Joinville
will win. The Produce Stakes to Danceaway, if she
goes. otherwise Louis Philippe.
The Sefton Stakes to Danceaway or Thalia, the latter
for choice.

The Mersey Stakes will have a field of seven, nr there-
abouts, viz., Glentilt, Cassandra colt. Eryx, Maid of
Motherwell, Wolverton, Meeanee, and Miles's Boy. Out
of these two are dark. One of the latter (Meeanee) and

Glentilt I select for my champiors.
The match between Lord Stanley's Abdiel, Bst 71b.
and Lord Glasgow's Canada filly, Bst 41b, will be won I
should say by the former.
On Thursday Lord Stanley's Meeanee will easily de-
feat Lord GlaTow's filly, by Sir Hercules, out of Deer-
slayer's dam. His Lordship of Glasgow's bad luck has
stuck to him for so many years that it has become a
settled thing to back his rivals, no matter who or what
they are, and in this instance I shall not deviate from
the beaten track.

The Foal Stakes will be won by lago, Inglewood or
Ironstone phi) ing second fiddle.
The Derby Handicap will have a good field, probably
ten or twelve, with Burlesque, Gannet, or the Marquis
of Conyngham for winner.
The Liverpool Cup has thirty acceptances out of
ninety-nine nominations, and fifteen may be expected to
show, viz.: —Mendicant, Intrepid, Highwayman, My
Mary, Poynton, The B iron, Rowena, Satyr, Plaudit,
As you like it, Inheritress, Yardley, The Conjuror,
Robin Burns, Roper's Daughter. From the above lot I
‘elect Mendicant, 7st ; Rowena, 7st 81b ; Plaudit,
6st 61b ; and Inheritress, Bst 71b, as the best, both on
paper and in the field, at their weights. Inheritress
cannot be overweighted, considering that she is 6 years
old ; neither can Rowena ; but as to Plaudit and Mendi-
cant, the case is different. The former is a slow affair,
receiving a year and 81bs from the latter, who, conse-
quently, stands at a great disadvantage; yet, notwith-
standing her weight, I shall look to Mendicant or
Rowena for winner; and in the event of these missing the
mark, to Inheritress. With the trio, I'll lay odds
rip safe.
On Friday, the Knowsley Dinner Stakes to the
Peri colt.

For the Liverpool St. Leger, six or seven will be
brought to the post, including Dolo, Brother to Sir
Henry, and Brother to Millipede. Fancy Boy's start-
ing is of course very doubtful—it is hardly possible that
he has recovered from his shaking at Newcastle, and if
he does go he will win ; otherwise Dolo, brother to Sir
Henry second.
I am, Sir, yours, Ste.,

AN()TIIER lionatanE SUICIDE AT NoTTINGRAM,—
The Nottingham Guerdian of Friday mentions the follow-
ing terrible case of suicide in Nottingham, which oc-
curred last week i—Scarcely was the excitement allayed
occasioned by the recent double mi •i le in Nottingham, than
another man was discovered in the fields at Holtne Pierre-
pont, near Nottingham. hanging in a holly bush, and who
has Si .ce been identified as a person of the name of Mellows,
a huckster, who was in the habit of attending Nottingham,
market with vegetables. The decease,l had been missed
some days, and the body-when discovered was in a most
.dreadful. decomposed state, which would induce a belief that
he had been dead some time. The discovery was first made
by a lad, who was looking in the holly for bird's nests, when
he saw the body of a man suspended by the neck. The
Coroner, C. S. Swann, El., was immediately. made
acquainted with the circumstance, when an inquest
was held on the body, at the Fox and Crown, Holme Pier-
pont, at which the following evidence was adduced
Samuel Richmond, a lad of fourteen years of age, on
being swot n, deposed that he resides at Radcliffe, and
works for Mr. Joseph Burgess, at Holme Pierrepont. On
Friday witness was sent to the stackyard to fetch some rakes,
and in going there he went over the lawn, in front of Earl
Manvers' Hall, and saw a sparrow fly into the holly bush on
the lawn. Witness went to the bush, thinking there might
be a nest, when he saw the deceased. hanging in the middle
of the bush. At first he thought deceased was "skulking."
Witness consequently shouted to a man in the road. and
asked him to come and see if there was not a man hanging.
The man came to his assistance, and they then discovered
that the deceased was suspended from a bough in the holly
bush by a handkerchief. He was quite dead. His toes and
one knee touched the ground. The man cut the deceased
down. His face appeared much swollen and flyblown, and
his hands were very black. He was dressed, except his. hate
which lay by the side of him. From the situation in which
he was discovered he could not have have been easily seen
by persons walking past the bush. Deceased was placed on
the lawn, after which witness went to his work. Other wit•
nes4es- were cadled, who stated that the deceased had ex-
hibited signs of mental derangement when he was last seen
alive; and it •fitrther appeared- that he was a very drunken
character. 'Verdict, " Temporary insanity."
