DONCASTER, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The settling for the St. Leger took place this morning at
the Betting-rooms, and went off very satisfactorily ; in most
instances the balances were small, a reasonable dread of Pleni-
potentiary having deterred many from betting against him,
while the smallness of the odds since the Derby prevented
others from backing him. The gentlemen connected with
Scott's stables, where Touchstone has been trained since Li-
verpool races, are only moderate winners, most of their money
having been placed on Lady le Gros, who is stated to have had
the best of the trials. Several parties who had profitted by
Plenipo's Derby running were again on him, and lost, as a
matter of course, but not to any serious extent. It is worthy
of remark, if only tai neutralize the result, that two or three of
Plenipo's backers left the stand just before the race to take a
closer view of him, and it proved so opposite to what they had
expected that they returned full speed, and got off all the money
they could. It is quite certain that the horse was not fit to
run ; he could scarcely raise a gallop, and required a touch of
the whip every now and then to keep him in position long be-
fore he got to the Red House. The Yorkshire people say
that he was cut down by the pace, and so, in fact, he was ;
but :lying Childers himself could not have lived the pace if he
had not been in racing condition. The race at Newmarket is
decisive that, if Plenipotentiary had been in his Epsom form,
he would not have been overpaced by Bubastes. We repeat
that in this instance defeat carries no disgrace with it Pleni-
potentiary was beaten by a good horse, but of their compara-
tive merits nothing can be known till they meet on equal
terms. It is almost superfluous to add, that Mr. Batson has
throughout acted like a straightforward, honourable sportsman,
and has always looked upon his horse as the property of the
public. Amongst the 'betting men the principal winners are
Messrs. Ridsdale, Robinson (of Manchester), Yeasley, Hicks,-
Wagstaff, &c.

We subjoin the pedigree of Touchstone :—He was bred by
Lord Westminster, and got by Camel—Banter (bred by his
Lordship in 1826), by Master Henry—Boadicea (sister to Bu-
cephalus) by Alexander, her dam Brunette by Amaranthus—
Mayfly by Matchem—Ancaster Starling—Grasshopper—Sir
M. Newton's Arabian—Pert, &c. His performances were
described in our Paper of Tuesday.
For the information of those who are curious in these mat-
ters we took the trouble to have the time accurately marked ;
the race was run in three minutes and twenty-three seconds
exactly.

SHOOTING EXTRAORDINARY.—OH Monday last
Sir Richard Sutton. commenced shooting on Colonel Peel's
manor at Buckenham, near Thetford, at ten minutes past
seven, and finished at eight minutes past three, taking half an
hour for luncheon, and shooting all the time from a pony. The
return of killed was 110 brace cf partridges 1 This feat is
without precedent.

The London and Southampton " railway " is com-
menced in the middle of a field about a mile on the London
side of Winchester. Many workmen are employed, and a
good deal of ground is already broken up. The work, in order
to accelerate its completion, is to be carried on at three places
simultaneously : at the place already named, at Ichen, near
Southampton, and in the neighbourhood of London.

It is not generally known that the Bridewell at
Winchester is built over the very spot where lie the remains
of Alfred. What a profanation

The severest punishment of an injury is the con-
sciousness of having done it; and no man suffers more than he
that is turned over to the pain of repentance.

LYME REGIS.—The Corporation have contracted
for the erection of a wall to form a cart-road to the harbour at
all times of the tide. This is one of the improvements pro-
posed at a public meeting, when Mr. Pinney, M. P. for the
borough, was present, and subscribed 5001. towards the object.
The dahlias are natives of Mexico, where they
were found by Baron Humboldt, growing in sandy meadows
at 800 or 900 toises, or from 1,600 to 1,800 yards above the
level of the sea. Specimens of them were transferred to the
Botanic Garden at Mexico, and thence to Madrid.

WESTON-SUPER-MA RE.---On Thursday. .this
fashionable watering-place was crowded to excess by an influx
of visitors from Bristol, Bath, and the whole of the surround-
ing country, to witness the Regatta, which had been announced
some days previously. The day was remarkably fine, and it
is calculated that nearly 3,000 persons were assembled on
the beach. The amusements commenced with sailing matches
of the Weston and Pill boats, to the number of sixteen,
accompanied by two steam-packets and pleasure boats, which
were succeeded by pony diversions on the sands ; after which
a rowing match took place, in the evening donkey racing, and
the whole was closed by a display of fireworks.
