G- AT NEWMARKET.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—I have but few alterations to make in the pro-
gramme I have already published. The Sweepstakes of
200 soya. will be a walk over for WEATHERGAGE. The
Grand Duke Michael Stakes will be contested by Ana-
pub, Eolus, and one of Lord Exeter's. ANSPACR,
according to all account, the winner. The second pier
of the Third Triennial Produce Stakes, out et its
infinity of entries, will entice but the following to
the post :—Hernandez, Phlegm or Midas (probably
the former), Ariosto, the Ban, the Black Sea,
Lamartine, the Knight of the Thistle, Cowslip filly,
and, perhaps, that wretched bred animal of
Mr. Wigram's, Napauk. Of course, the race will lie be-
tween Hernandez, Ariosto, the Ban, and Lamartine; and
it would not surprise me were Ariosto to throw the lot
over, the distance being only across the flat. With re-
spect to the Hopetul Stakes, some doubt exists whether
Homebrewed, penalty and all, will put in an appearance.
Bay Rosalind, however, will figure at the post, and
though penalised aix pounds, as well as the Goodwood
crack, ought, should Kingston miss the mark, to be the
absolute winner. Of the three matches, they are
all but decided, the Meanee colt, St. Ann, and
Bay Rosalind being the victors. Before closing
this brief epistle, I will just give the present
starting list for the other couple of Triennials. For the
Second Triennial the field will consist of St. George,
Utrecht, Cranberry, Exotic filly, Clelia, Abdallah, Va-
lentine, Mickleton, and one from the Goodwood stable.
The Fourth Triennial sports the following on the list:—
Greyleg, Hesperus, Longbow, Toga filly or Ambrose,
the Odessa colt, Lapidist, France or Child of the Mist,
and one from the Goodwood stable. which, like unto the
other Triennial, I cannot name at the present moment.

AN OLD RAILWAY ARRANGEMENT.—When rail-
way companies first sought at the hands of Parliament for
posers to construct their lines, they wire driven into all
sorts of queer and expensive arrangements with landowners
to ward off their vexatious opposition, or to satisfy their
great demands. o.le of the most curious, though not one
of the worst, arrangements ever made with a landowner, was
that made by the old Cheltenham and Great Western Union
Company (now in the hands of the Gnat Western) with a
farmer living near Gloucester. To meet the wishes of this
person it was enacted that whenever he was standing near
the railway opposite to bis farmhouse the train should stop
and take him up, but we believe not to carry him free of
charge. Of course it does not pay to stop a train to take a
single passenger up ; but still, in a commercial point of view,
this arrangement is infinitely better than many others (some
of them made in days which ought to be more enlightened,
because more recent), by which not only is a heavy bribe
given to buy off opposition, but a station is built, and a clerk
and porters maintained, to accommodate perhaps not as
many passengers as they (tbe clerk and porters) themselves
number. With regard to the Gloucester farmer, we are told
tbat the old gentleman is frequently seen scampering across
the fields to be on the railway by the time the train cornea
up, but the train is not bound to stop unless he is at his post.

LORD ARUNDEL AND SURREY..—This nobleman
arrived in Limerick on Friday. He is to remain on a visit at
Tervoe, Adare Manor, and Curragh Chase. It is said to be
in contemplation to invite him to a public banquet.
The Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, who has
been suffering from impaired health, arrived at Stapleton
Palace at the close of last week from a continental tour. His
Lordship's health is amended.
We regret to learn that the Bishop of Oxford,
who, accompanied by some relatives, has been making a tour
on the Continent, was seized at Milan with a violent attack
of fever, which at this season is very prevalent there. The
symptoms were at first very alarming, but we are happy to
say the most recent accounts state that the Right Rev. Pre-
late is much better, so as to be able to commence his journey
homeward.—Bucks Herald.

" GOING THE WHOLE 110G."A querist asks in-
formation as to the origin of the American figure of speech,
"to go the whole hog." I apprehend its parentage belongs
less to America than to Ireland, where a " hog" is still the
synonym for a shilling, and a " tester" or " taster" for a
sixpence. Previously to the assimilation of the currency of
the two countries, in 1825, a " white hog" meant the Eng-
lish shilling, or twelve pence, and a " black hog" the Irish
shilling of thirteen pence. To "go the whole hog" is a
convivial determination to spend the whole shilling, and the
prevalence of the expression, with an extension of its appli-
cations in America, can be readily traced to its importation
by the multitudes of emigrants from Ireland.—Netes and
Queries.

MONUMENT TO WORDSWORTM—A monument to
the memory of the poet Vv ordsworth has been erected in
Grasmere Church, and it bears the following inscription :
" To the memory of Willi.m Wordsworth, a true philoso-
pher and poet, who by the special gift and calling of Al-
mighty God, whether he discoursed on man or nature, failed
not to lift up the heart to holy things. Tired not of main-
taining the cause of the poor and simple ; and so, in peri-
lious times, was raised up to be a chiet minister, not only of
noblest poesy, but of high and sacred truth. The memorial
is placed here by his friends aid neighbours, in testimony of
respect, affection, and gratitude."—Carlisle Jourxd.

WORCESTER HOP MARKET, SATURDAY, SEPT.
27.---The market to-day was very largely supplied with
hops from Herefordshire and the western portion of Worces-
tershire. The samples are various, the wind having done
considerable damage in some exposed plantations, while in
others they came down light. On the contrary there are
many favtured grounds which supply excellent samples,
saleable as high as 7L per cwt.. and even higher. The Here-
furdst ire and Worcestert,hire planters a, e moat fortunate this
year in having on the whole a capital crop, far superior in
bulk to the crops in Sent and Sussex. About 1,200
pockets have passed the public scales, and the high prices
which the " Worcester" hops are fetching will render them
highly remunerative to the grower. Picking has been
vigorously prosecuted for the last fortnight, and in many
plantations was finished to-day. The weather' with the
exception of two days this week, has been very favourable
for the picking, which has been carried on without inter-
ruption.

GENERAL SCREW STEAM SHIPPING COMPANY.--
On Saturday the half-yearly meeting of this company was
held at the offices, 2, Royal Exchange-buildings; Mr. H.
Currie. M.P., in the chair. The secretary read the report,
by which it was stated that the committee appointed by
uovernment to consider the postal service between England
and Australia had reported in favour of having screw ships
by the Cape of Good Hope line, and tenders had been invited.
It is satisfactory to know th A the voyages cf the company's
ships had been effected uniformly well, and, considering the.
distance, remarkably punctual. The directors could net
recommend a dividend, as there was no surplus last year, in
consequence of a number of debts outstanding having been
paid off. The receipts for the half-year amounted to 3h,3901.,
and the disbursements to 57,3951. 7s. 9d. The chairman
moved the adoption of the report, which, after considerable
discussion, was agreed to; and, on a vote of thanks to the
chairman, the meeting separated.
THE Mooas.—The grouse are still so plentiful
that many sporting parties are delaying their departurel this
year much beyond their usual time. The birds are mark
ably well
grown and plump, but so wild that it re quires a
first-rate shot to fill a bag. The moatain bares are also very
numerous
this season, and cart-loads of them arrive daily
from the Highlands for the English markets. Comparatively
few black game have been seen this year, and the breed is
giving way before the grouse so rapidly, that it bids fair to
be extinct in the course of a few yeara on the Scottish hill
—forth (lowlier.
