FOOT PACEE-vog

This match, atween.Shertion and MOnks, came off on
Tuesday, on a piece of road contiguous to Doncaster. Sher-
don, who is a cutler, matched himself against Manks, known
in the sporting world as the Warwickshire Antelope. 'One
false start- took place, but at the second, bidding they both
went away well together at a tremendous pace, which was
kept up for the first quarter of a mile, when Manks began to
show strong symptoms that he was no. match tor his oppo-_
nent ; and at about half the distance to be accomplished, he
was completely run off his legs. Sherdon slackened his
pace, and gained the Winning point amidst tremendous cheers
from the assembled "crowds.—Sheffield Iris

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
GREAT NORTHERN.
In all railway projects, particularly with regard to
those of any magnitude, it seems en inevitable conse-
quence that some disappointment, some disquietude,
some fancied grievance,'should arise on the part of pri-
vate individuals touching the right of property, the ad-
vantages of locality and position, and those many cir-
cumstances whose centre will be invariably found in a
man's own pocket, without, in some instances, the most
remote reference to the conveniences of the public, or to
the interests of the shareholder. It would seem as it
one party possessed peculiar privileges, and another
was exposed to all the annoyances and injuries conse-
quent upon a determined and inevitable purpose.. It is,
however, the duty or a directory not t.' be deluded by
any
,one; but, acting on the principles
.of justice and
propriety, to pursue that course which is found, after
due consideration, in accordance with the interests of
the public, and in the end, with the interests of those
who, as shareholders, are more immediately concerned,
it yet remains to be shown wheth( r the one can. be, ju-
diciouslyseparated from the other, without inflicting
injury on both. -
•
These remarks apply to the proposed deviation of the
line of the Great Northern, so far as the town of 1)on
caster is concerned—a scheme whose magnitude is of the
firat importance, 'and the extent of whose beneficial use
farness it is a matter of. some...difficulty • to correctly
'define. It would be foreign tothe purpose of-this notice
to lay any particular stress upon the plan of Mr, Locke;
to point out the impropriety with regard valids particular
course r that-particular Tosition! -,with. 'ropect 'to the
station ; equally -foreign:ctn. throw ,-tit'e - imputation of
blame here, or the presusitect advantages • of self-interest
there. But, in carrying out ,successfully the gigantic
scheme of the Great Northern—ataking at the seine time all
matters into due cotAideration;avith regard to the sub-
stantial good which 'seems fully calculated t' arise from
the full and i roper operation of the whole undertaking
—we are decidAly of opinion that the plan of Mr.
Cubitt, with regard to the town of Doncaster, in altering
the site of the station from the eastern to the western
side of the town, is marked by a sound discretion and a'
judicious propriety. This opinion is justified by many
circumstances, not only of an immediate 'local character,
but of those in which the true interest's of the directory
and the company are intimately associated. The beauty
•and convenience of the south entrance to the town from
the race-ground, once the great north road, whose fame
is spread far and wide, will be' preserved,• - with its
range of magnificent elms, as well as the beautiful race-
ground itself. The open town, field, too, which is the ad-
miration of strangers, as well as the property .imme-
diately contiguous or connected with private residences,
will remain intact. Besides, the inconvenience, which,
from the nature of the approaches alone, would inevi-
-tably have been -experienced '' by fixing a station at
Docken Hill, without mentioning the interruption of
the river navigation to the town itself, will be wholly
obviated. In short, a bad course and a worse locality
for all the purposes and requirements of an important
station are now abandoned, for one the adoption cl
which satisfactorily evinces that neither the true inte-
rests of the town of Doncaster and its neighbourhood,
nor those of the company itself in one p 'llion of it,
essential particulars, arc disregarded by those who are
placed in the position to carry out, successfully, one of
the most gigantic and magnificent schemes that ever was
projected or brought into operation. ' The proirsed new
site, indeed, while-it forcibly evinces the correct judg-
ment of Mr. Cubitt, is better. in every point of view—
better as to mere locality—better as to convenience—
better as to the population—the approaches—the outlets
—the transit and, receipt of goods—thcarrival and de-
parture of passengers, and those many means and ap-
pliances, ramifications and ! branches, connected with
railway operations, which are of essential importance ;
affording, at the same time, facilities for the erection of
buildings, whether of a public or private character, which
are in - vain looked for in the, locality which has been
very wisely abandoned. •
..
The more, indeed, the proposed new site is taken into
.
consideratipn, in comparison with the original -proposi-
tion, the more apparent will become manifest the cor-
areetness of the views which have been- dictated, and the
aounduess of the judgment which has fixed upon the
important, the essential change:- The main entrance-to
the station, which will be of the first class, as we before
stated, isproposed, we believe,l6 ..be fixed at the-Very
spot where the gaol now atands. 'This position, as Mr.
Cubitt'remarked, is . within—two.4mired..yarals ,of the
High-street, and immediately!COnnepted with 'the main
arteries of the town. It presant?„,. tcso,;.the greatest
facilities of ingress and egress, r,fill needful:, purposes.
act only to the inhabitants of-the-ton, but -to-those of
the surrounding country. Tlie space immediately in
front-is central and capacious, and can be nit lered mere
so, if it Au be aequired ; with . West Laith-
gate, Factory-lane St. Sepulchre-gate within mad
Sr. Sepulchre-gate -Without, and .Priating-effiee-
street in front, • all -meeting at one point, present-
ing, indeed, the means ot convenience which are too
obviOus to require either elucidationor enforcement, and
in comparrsou with which, we repeat, the! abandoned
site now shrinks into insignificance. , -. .
For the erection ef-the station itself, and all the build-
ings connected therewith, as well as those with regard
to the plant, however extensive, there is " ample room
and verge enough." Nor is this all. 'The appro-
priation of thegrourid for all the required pu-poses of one
of the most important stations on the whole fine, inflicts
no injury upon private individuals; creates no public in-
convenience, and mars no existing realities. As, there-
fore, all matters and circumstance's are .es admirably
adapted to all the required purposes as could have been
possibly desired, with regard to ground, buildings, and
position, so the site which has been flied upon by the
engineer, and which, we doubt hot,. will receive the,
sanction and approval of the rdrectory, is decidedly the'
best which could have been s.el, cted;,looking to the best
interests of the town at lare:e-, as well as those of the
surri‘unding locality, and consequently, to the bestin-
terests of the company itself.

has the following- article it may -be remembered
that, some time ago,. Mr. Talkson, a young
Jewish physician of our city, who was going to
marry a Christian, could not obtain permission from
the GovernMent to corient to„ .-thear union. Mr.
ralkson has just had his marriage solemnised at
Trinity Church, Hull, nmilinviag returned to our city,
required that the certificate Of his naaniage should be
inserted in the registers, a formality which the law de-
mands from all Prussians who marry in foreign coun-
tries. He was informed, in reply, that', this insertion
could not be made, because marriages-between Jews and
Christians were not recognised in Prusaia, that they did
not possess a legal character, and -that the children of
such marriages Were considered as illegitimate. Mr.
I'alkspn has addressed a remonstrance on the subject to
the Government.-

parated only by, a glass partition, for the purpose of
paying his bill, when, on returning after an absence of

THE GREAT BRITAIN.

LIVERPOOL, TEICRSDAY.—We have no further intel
ligence of moment to•day with regard to the Great
Britain.

We subjoin the closing letter from a correspon-
dent :

DUNDRUM BAY, TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
My communication to-day must necessarily be meagre
from the absence of any occurrence of note since the
dispatch of my last letter. One melancholy fact, how-
ever, it is my duty to state. There is now no hope left
that the Great Britain can be rescued, at least for the
present. To-day the spring tides reached their climax,
but-again the violence of the seaway in the bay pre-
vented the approach of assistance.
Last night, at high water, it blew freshly from the
east ; bit this morning the ship did not appear to have
materially altered her position, though it is probable she
had forged ahead in some degree. When the hour of
high water arrived, the ship appeared to float to some ex-
tent. The steam-tugs, however, which at daylight had
returned to the offing, could not near the vessel, and it
was evident to all practical men that there was little or
no chance of ber being got off unless some extraordi-
nary power of flotation were brought into requisition.
The ship's fore and aft sails were spread on her foremast
during the morning, apparently with the view of keep-
ing the head from forging upon the ledge of rock which

projects from the sands at the distance of some 70 yards
from the stern. I left the spot at the ebb of the tide..
The steam-tugs left in the course of the day. The
surf in the offing on their appearance this morning was
running very high, and one of them drew off towards
Annabay Point, about S.W. from the ship, and we
have since seen no more of her. The Dread-
nought, however, anchored a long way outside,
I and, though she got her steam well up, she did
not venture to come in shore, although signals were
several times hoisted on the Great Britain's mizen to
bring to if possible. The surf, caused by the gale and
the inset of the tide upon the rocky and dangerous coast,
rendered the attempt unadvisable, and Captain Hosken
was compelled early in the afternoon to signalise her
departure. It had been intended to dispatch the crew
and stores of the ship in her to Liverpool. The arduous
duties of these two fine steamers have been well per-
formed, and their commanders have throughout acted
with the greatest skill and energy.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of October 9.)
SUGAR.--Today there was a good business transacted in
West India Sugar of all kinds for the scale and pan, in con-
sequeuce of merchants being sellers at previous moderate
rates. The purchases amounted to 600 hhds, &c., including
at auction 45 hhds 26 tree of Jamaca, which went at 50s for
good yellow, 48s to 48s 6d for middling, and 46s to 46s 6d for
low yellow.

REFINED.—The home trade have been induced to purchase
Refined goods with more freedom this week, in consequence
of rather lower rates having been taken ; the supply of all
qualities is, however, larger than it was, as the refiners are
working freely, and likely so to keep as they are ob-
taining satisfactory profits, and are getting 18s for working.
Pieces have slightly declined in value, there being an in-
creased quantity on offer, but a good demand has been ex-
perienced. Bastards have met with little attention, and the
supply being large there are ready sellers. For Treacle of
every sort prices are rising, the demand being extensive and
the supply small. Crushed Sugar for exportation has been
purchased with caution, although there are sellers of first
quality at 33s per cwt; the refiners continue freely at work.
Treacle is still wanted, and prices are firm. Dutch Crushed
Sugar is.heavy of disposal. For Loaves manufactured here
the export demand has been good.
MAunmus.—This afternoon at public sale 1,484 bags and
16 hhds were offered, and sold at the former worth, good
yellow at 47e 6d to 50s, middling 45a to 475, low at 43s to
445, fine brown 42. s 6d, washed 42s to 475, and syrupy 42s
per cwt.
EAST INDIA —This afternoon the public sales of Bengal
Sugar consisted of 4,145 bags, nearly the whole sold, arid at
full rates.

Morasses.—West India is wanted, and having but a mo-
derate supply prices are looking up. The private sales this
week are 400 puns, Dominica at 225, and St. Vincents 225.
Bally Khal Treacle has been in good request, and prices are
firm at 225; the supply has again become small.
FOREIGN.—There has been a larger supply of all descrip-
tions of Foreign:Sugar at market this week. For brown and
the lower kinds of yellow, of which there is a heavy stock
here, prices are generally lowering, but for white and
the better kinds of yellow they rule firm, the home trade
being inclined to get stocked with such. Porto Rico
has been in excellent demand and brought advanced
rates, more particularly the better sorts. At auc-
tion 198 hhds and 100 barrels were all sold. Manilla has
met with little attention by private contract, and at auction
9,530 bags were mostly taken in at the former value. White
China is wanted at previous rates, but little desire has been
shown to buy the brown and yellow kinds, although they
can be had upon easier terms. Java has been sold to a fair
extent at the former currency, the better sorts being the
most preferred. White Havannah is attracting less atten-
tion, but stiff rates have been obtained for the few parcels sold
privately. Yellow in good request, and prices fully equal to those
previously current, and several parcels have been sold by
private treaty. Brown, however, has.met with little atten-
tion, and can be obtained at moderate rates. For exportation
Foreign has been sparingly dealt in by private contracts, al-
though there are sellers at moderate rates, and several parcels
are pressing for sale.
COMM.—This afternoon 677 bags Plantation Ceylon were
offered at auction, and partly sold at 52s for fine ordinary
grey, and at lOs to 33s for triage, being about the former
value, fine fine ordinary was taken in at 545. 10 bales
Mocha sold at 40s for triage. 55 casks of Jamaica went at
69s 6d to 70s 6d for middling, at 33s 6d to 48s 6d for other
sorts, and at 26s to 30s for triage, being the former value.
70 bags 71 barrels La Guayra fetched 50s to 51s 6d for fine
fine ordinary, and 41s 6d for good ordinary, and 80 bags
Costa Rica 35s 6d for good ordinary. •
Coccia.—West India has been purchased with more free-
dom, but no improvement in prices has taken place. At
public sale 162 bags of Trinidad were sold. For Foreign
previous rates are asked, but few buyers are to be met with.
TEA.—None has been offered at public sale since our last,
still Conbou has been dealt in sparingly, notwithstanding
the low rates that prevail; the trade only purchase sufficient
for their present wants, and there is only a fair supply at
market of all descriptions. In Pouching a good business has
been done. and the supply being small, prices rule firm.
Of Souchong some parcels have been disposed of, but at
rather lower rates. For Twankay the market has a dull
appearance, and prices are lower. Scented Caper has been
purchased with more freedom. For Scented Orange Pekoe
there are not many buyers. Hyson is li:tle wanted, and
prices are drooping. Of Imperial and Gunpowder several
parcels have been sold, owing to merchants further reducing
their prices. Of Green Tea there is a large quantity press-
ing for sale, and of Black there is a fair quantity at market.
RICE.—To-day Bengal Rice was in dull demand, and 788
bags 84 pkts at auction were taken in at reduced rates, viz.,
good white at 19s, and ordinary 18s, but the damaged sold at
12s 6d to 17s 6d per cwt.
FRUIT. —For new Valentiaa there has been a good inquiry
—no arrivals this week up to this day, and the whole of the
present stock being in speculators' hands who appear to be
selling some 463 ; several parcels are daily expected. For
New Currants there continues a large demand. New Mus-
catels rating so low in price with the commen deacription
attracts much attention.

SPICES —Tc-day at public sale 199 brls of Jamaica Ginger
were sold at 11 19s to 9/10s; 6 cases of mouldy Singapore
Nutmegs 3s; 80 bags of Pimento nd to 3icl for damaged.
Hors.—The demand has been less active, and having a
large quantity at market, there are sellers rather under pre-
vious rates,-New Mid Xent pockets being obtainable at 51 14s
to 6/ 15s, Weald of Kent 4112. e to 5/ss, Suesex pockets 4/2s to
4/ 14s per cwt. The Duty for the Kingdom is backed at
200,0001 to 220,000/. At the Worcester market a good busi-
ness has been done in Hops, but in some cases prices have
slightly given way.

iq.iiiri:s.—To-clay there was a large business transacted in
Jamaica Ruin at from 35 4d to 4s 6d, Calcutta was purchased
with increased freedom, and brought higher rates, 2s to 2s Id
being paid for 200 casks proof strength. Of Leeward Island
some parcels were sold at 2s 5d proof.
INDIGO.—To-day during the progress of the sale 105 chests
were withdrawn, 727 chests have passed the sale. The bulk
of this quanti:y was of ordinary quality, only fit for home
consumption, and sold with rather more spirit than on the
preceding days, at prices ranging from the last sale's prices
to 3d advance. Proprietors have bought in 298 chests. The
total quantity that has now passed the sale amounts to
7,065 chests, of which 3,4.36 were withdrawn, and 1,260
bought in, making the quantity actually sold 2,369 chests.
The total quantity withdrawn now amounts to 4,065 chests.
SavrrETßE.—To. day Rough was more sought after, but
business of moment was prevented privately by stiffer rates
being asked. For English Refined the demand has been
active, and prices are firm. Nitrate of Soda is little wanted,
and can be obtained at 16s to 16s 3d per cwt.
Weor..—The arrivals continue to be large, the chief part
Spanish, Cape, and Colonial. Prices rule firm for all descrip-
lions, but there has not been much business transacted since
the termination of the public sales.
Ofi.s.—There was a lively demand for Seal Oil, and price,
have risen 90s to 40s, the home trade are the principal
operators; merchants are sanguine in their expectations as
to the future position of the article; although there is a fair
stock here, pale has been selling at 31/ to 32/, straw 29/ to
301, yellow 27/10s to 281 10s, and brown at 261 to 271 per
tun. In Cod a good business has been transacted, in conse-
quence of rather lower rates being taken. For Seathern the
market has a firm appearance, all sorts have been sought
after, and full rates are offered, but there is only a moderate
quantity on offer. Sperm does not improve in value; the
demand has been good, but the market is still well supplied.
There are further arrivals of Fish Oils. Linseed has met
with less attention, and prices have assumed a downward
tendency ; the market being well supplied, only a limited
business has been transacted on the spot at 24s 6d to 24s 9d,
and for forward delivery few contracts have been entered
into, although there are sellers at 25s to 25s 3d per
cwt. Rape Oil has been in good demand, and quo-
tations are firm at 34s for pale, and at 33s fur brown.
Although the stock of Palm Oil has been further increased,
yet the demand has been brisk, and advanced rates are paid.
For Cocoa Nut the inquiries have been numerous, but not
much is to be had, and prices are rising. Olive is wanted,
but no further advance in the value has taken place ; the
parcels sold were, however, at steady rates. American Lard
Oil has been selling at 371 to 40/, and the supply is small.
TaLLow.—The arrivals continue to be upon a small scale,
and are less than they were last season by 7,422 casks, and
the stock is smaller by 4,474 casks; the deliveries, however,
exhibit a falling off of 8,297 casks, but which may be ascribed
to the immense quantity of home made Tallow used this sea-
son. Russian on the spot has been in active demand, and
prices are still rising. A good deal has been done for forward
delivery. Of home made the market been nearly cleared at
-13 s 6d to 44s per cwt nett cash, and the consumption of this
sort is still the largest, it being the cheapest. Other
kinds of Tallow haVe been much in request, and prices are
advancing.
