Justice to Ireland. The horses were saddled and pa-
raded in the usual way, a few minutes after four, and
id: the ( zeeption of Justice to Ireland who was fretful,
proca.e,ed quietly towards the post, and got away in very
gooct order. The flags, however, were not down, and
they .v.--ere all pulled atter they had run about two-thirds
of a .4istancl% It, appeared afterwards that the jockeys
1,41 d started w:ihcut orders, for which they were sere-
rally .reported, aucl tined Si. each. After a short delay
they were once wore lifrint-drand a start (not so good as
th'e false one) aas effeeled. Flatcatcher and Assault
jumped ofT to ;other, the 'former in advance.' Assault,
how6ver,' immediately took the lead, and with his stable
companion Surplice, Justice to Ireland, and Canezou in
waiting,- made strong play to the hill; here he resigned,
and Fiatcatcher went on with the running at a Strang
p;:sCe, Justice to Irland taking the second place, followed
by tlx..pi;ce, the mare Waiting on the latter. -Leing in-
tervals scparated.the horses in their rear, not one of
tlkorn•had the slighlest chance of getting up,- Justice.to
Ireland kept. . his position to the Red- Ilouse:turn,where
he was passedbY:Surplice and Canezou, and was seen no
more in the race. Flatcatcher kept his lead until near
the_distance, When be was caught by his two to:lowers,
and beaten. The mare then took a slight lead of Sur-
plic,;, and at the stand appeared to have the best of the
race.. Here; however the horse got to her head, and one
of the most Exciting struggles ever witnessed ensued, the
horse never 'getting the best of it until the last two or
three- strides,,-only.winning by a neck. He was very
much. puristied. Flatcatcher was a .bad third ; Escape
fourth; and Resborough fifth. Run in 3 minutes and 20
accords. Value of the stakes 2,9751.

-. Before we,give the return of the other races, it is pro-
per to notice a circumbtauce which, if not explained,
might create a prejudice against one of the most emi-
nent jockey's of the day. Robinson was specially en-
gaged to ride Surplice, and came to the ground, about
two o'eleck, 'prepared to fulfil hid engagement. - Shortly
before the first race, however, he was informed that a
rumour was irfloat that he was to be taken off at the last
moment, and Nat put up in his stead. Conceiving that
if an intention of this kind did exist it could only pro-
ceed from a suspicion- of--his- honesty, he immediately
waited upon Mr. Villiers, and after informing him of the
rumour begged to decline to ride Surplice, this, determi-
nation he repeated to Lord Clifden. It is almost need-
less to to add that both , Lord Clifden and Mr. Villiers
extressed the most unbounded confidence in him. Mr.
Green immediately engaged Robinson for Flatcatcher,
and Lord Clifden obtained the services of Nat, not, how-
ever, without -strong opposition of John Scott, who had
engaged hair for Cannibal, and was naturally anxious to
prevent his riding an animal who, he could not conceal
from himself, would be a very dangerous opponent to
Lord Stanley's_mare. It appeared, however, that Lord
Clifden had retained Nat as long ago as Ascot, in cane
he should require his services, and the Stewards held
this to be a valid engagement. By this unexpected stroke
of fortune, Nat had the luck to ride the only animal that
has won both Derby and St. Leger since 1800, Cham-
pion's year. Late in the evening Lord Clifden entered
the betting room, and, to prevent any misconception of
the circunastancea which led to the change of jockeys,
caused it to be it4liely stated that " Whereas reports
having been cirmiT4ted that in consequence of his having
suspicion of Robitisen's honesty he had engaged Nat to
ride Surplice, he Iced most expressly to declare that
such was not the fact—that he had the most unbounded
confidence in Robinson, and that it was at his own re-
quest that he had given up his ride."

THURSDAY .AFTERNOON, -THREE O'CLOCK.
The settling took place this morning, -41nd, as- we
feared, from the difficuiti.,s which several parties had
brought upon themselves by " potting" Surpiice, was a
very bad one. Money was " tighter" than ever, and
matters were aggravated by the non-attendance of two
or three parties, who, although they had large accounts,
invariably settle in town. Several parties were con-
strained to beg for time, and three were altogether mis-
sing, one of them, Captain P-t, for 9,0001, the " Boy
Jones," and a solicitor from Dublin; the gross deficiency
of this trio may be guessed at fifteen or sixteen thousand
pounds. Lord Clifden and his party won a large stake,
but, we suspect, will have to exercise that most useful
virtue, patience, to a very considerable extent. The Jus-
tice to Ireland party are heavy losers; and, as it this was not
enough, their horse met with a misfortune this morning,
which, we believe, will prevent his running any more
this season. We are informed that he reached Swinton
early in the morning, and was put into one of the boxes,
but that the moment his hind quarters, which were sore
from the accident on Saturday, touched the box, he
began kicking and plunging violently; he was imme-
diately taken out, and was found to be so much cut that
the idea of sending him by rail was abandoned, and a
messenger was dispatched to Doncaster for a van, in
order that he might be posted to Newmarket.

When we sent cif our account of the St. Leger, we
ware ignorant that Canezou threw a plate near ►he Red
House; some of her admirers imagine that, but for this,
she might just have won.
