TO Tale EDITOR Oh THE SLIN.
Sin,—At Newcastle next week, if the tine weather con-
tinues, a large attendance may confidently be expected both
of men and horses. I will en passant make a few remarks on
the principal stakes, leaving the analysis of the entire meet-
ing until Monday next. The North Derby will bring to the
post Fancy Boy, Dolo, the Brother to Sir Henry, Peri colt,
Malcolm, Banana, and Sir Tatton Sykes; at present fortune
favours Dolo and Sir Tatton, both in high fettle, but Fancy
Boy, if recovered from his shaking at Epsom, will be my
fancy. For the Northumberland Plate Glossy, Wineour,
and Pagan seem most favourably weighted, and with Curio-
sity and Tour de Force may-be expected to manage the
stale among them. The nomination for the Orange Prize
and the Goodwood Cup have recently appeared; for the
former forty-seven, for the latter forty-eight. For the
Oran, e Prize Wolfdog, Grimston, Jericho, Sweetmeat, Lo-
thario, and Alarm, must be taken care of; so must Alarm,
Lothario, Mendicant, Grimston, Faugh-a-Ballagh, and Woil-
dog for the Goodwood Cup.. I fancy Burgundy will let the
ring into a secret with respect to the Goodwood Stakes, t
out of 147 nominations; minus weights, it is not- the castes
task in the world to select the winner. The St. Leger is
now, anal will be for some time to come, to all
1 " tell
very open race. The Newcastle Derby m

My remarks on the St. Leger I shall commence next week,
and continue them every week till finished. The utility ofthis
proceeding is obvious; it gives the bettor time to " get on"

when the prophecy appears one day before the race, leaving
time for nothing, or next to it.—l atn, &c.

AT THE BARRACKS OF lIORFIELD,
NEAR BRist;,L,—On Saturday night, at about tut o'clock, a
most alarming conflagration was discovered to nave broken
out in the saw mill and timber stores of the new barracks for
Bristol, the distance from Bristol being upwards of two miles,
and it having been there supposed that the light in the
horizon, which was most clearly seen from every part of the
city, was the Aurora Borealis, a considerable time elapsed
before the engines arrived, 'nnd by that time the whole of the
engine-homie, th.• catimaktrs' Jral v.sc
quantities of timber which lay around, were completely
enveloped in flames. The exteut of the loss it understood to
be about 340001.
