NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING.
NEWMARKET, THURSDAY NIGHT.

Mr. Stonehewer's Chantilly
Mr. Batson's Revelry
Duke of Grafton's Octave 3
Mr. Henry's Laud 4
Mr. Chifney's f. by Emilius
The speculations on the race were singularly opposed to
ifs actual result. Although only fire horses started, the
odds were 20 to 1 sgst the winner, while against Octave
they were only sto 4, and against Revelry 7to 4 A
few bets were laid against Laud and Shoveler at 6 and 7
to 1 each. Octave made the running as far as the Duke'.
Stand, where she declined : Revelry took it up, but was
passed in two or three strides by Chantilly, who won v.ry
cleverly.

The King's Plate of 100g4. for 4 yr. olds and upwards.

R. C.

Col. Peel's Ernest Walked over.

The Garden Stakes (next Meeting)-2 to 1 offered on
the field ; offers to take 3 to 1 about each of two, or 7 to
2 about The Whale ; the other favourites are Kate and
Rouncival.

The Second October Meeting commences on Monday
week.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

The St. Leger Stakes, of which we sent the result from
the Course, was a good betting race, the first three or four
favourites being backed to a considerable amount. Very
little was done on the winner, who was started for no
other purpose than to make running for Cactus. In
obedience to the orders to this effect he took the lead at a
very strong pace. Dirce seconding him_to the Duke's
Stand. where Cactus, instead of tieing ready to take up
the running, as had been contemplated, was entirely con-
cluded for the race and already in the rear; Sir Robert,
therefore, continued in front, Young Rapid taking Dirce's
position behind him, and Shylock lying third. Sir Robert
was never headed, and won quite easy by a length. Cactus
and Mr. Batson's were beaten a long way, nor were any
of the others well up. Young Rapid pulled up lame.
The Two-year-old Handicap requires little in the way
description. Pincher fairly outpaced his competitors
and won easy by a length ; Sister was third, and beaten
two lengths from the second.

COMMERCE OF LIVERPOOL.--The total
number of vessels which entered Liverpool and Runcorn,
from the 25th of August to the 24th of September, was
986, with a burthen of 151,899 tons. Of those which
entered Liverpool, 775 were British and 107 foreign. The
' arrivals from Ireland during the month were 257, from
British America 51, from the East Infiies 7, from the
Isle of Man 16, from Russia 30, from South America
16, from the United States 33, from the West Indies 26,
and coastwise 354. During the same period only 7 yes.
vela entered from France, 2 from Portugal, 1 from Spain,
3 from Belgium, and 7 from Sweden. There were two
arrivals from the rising colonies in New South Wales.—

- GOLDSMITHS' COMPANY.--The new Hall
• for the use of the Goldsmiths' Company will be a very
handsome building when finished. Its exterior has an
imposing appearance, particularly the front, in the centre
' of which are the Company's arms, admirably well executed
' over the grand entrance, in alto relievo ; and the architect
has been profuse in ornamental architecture, both in the
front and at the sides, and at the back of the building.
The sunken columns and pilasters are surmounted by Co-
rinthian capitols, and other parts of the edifice exhibit
corresponding embellishments. The interior of the Hall
has every convenience, both culinary and otherwise, for
giving effect to the science of gastronomy, and preparing
luxurious banquets suitable to the appetites and tastes of
one of the most wealthy civic Companies in the metro-
polis. The Hall, however, is very inconveniently situ-
ated at the rear of the General Post-office, in Foster-lane,
where a carriage cannot turn. The ether avenues leading
to it are equally narrow and incommodious.
CORPORATION COMMISSION. The Royal
Commission for inquiring into the State of the Municipal
Corporations of Scotland is regarded with horror in every
snuggery of corruption, and the inquiry is denounced as
an innovation OR the rights of our civic rulers. The
absurdity of this opinion is self-evident, for the right of
Parliament to grant commissions of inquiry is essential to
its constitution, and is not only established by precedent,
but is the necessary result of the very nature of its func-
tions. Where inquiry, however, must lead to damning
disclosures, we cannot be surprised that it should be re-
garded with dismay. Much in the same manner as phy-
sical evils are propagated from one generation to another,
have the moral maladies of city corporations been perpe-
tuated through their adopted successors, till the taint of
the original sins has become incurably confirmed, and
desperately aggravated. It is in vain that these venerable
bodies attempt to identify an examination of their conduct
with a violation of the rights of property. Men conscious
of rectitude never shrink from investigation, but rather
court it, assured that it will redound to their honour,
and make their " light shine before men," and the real
rights of property will be best established by being weighed
and found no! wanting ; and surely there con be no well.
grounded cause of fear that these rights will be sacrificed
by a Legislature, in whose appointment almost every man
possessing property in the country has a vote, and in pre-
serving which inviolate the whole nation has a vital
interest.....EdinGuryh Observer.
