in a calm, dispassionate article on the subject, in the
spirit they deserve. Their peculiar merits are well
discriminated, and ample justice done to the extraor-
dinary energy of Mr. Elliott's intellect, who wields his
pen, as if it were a blacksmith's hammer. In the
article "On Rail-roads," the Reviewer shows,
not only that the principal objections urged against
these speculations, are unfounded in themselves,
but that they are in direct opposition to the re-
sults of experience, and as much opposed to the real
interests of the objectors, as to the public good. As
this article is not penned in the heated spirit of parti-
zanship, but impartially and ingenuously discusses both
the pros and cons of the question, it is just the one
calculated to make an impression on the reader's mind.
Mrs. Jameson's Characteristics and Sketches" says
as much as can be said on a subject—viz., the merits
of this lady's criticisms on Shakespear's women—
which Blackwood has already exhausted. " The Last
Session of Parliament" we have already made the
subject of some comment in The Sun ; it is needless
therefore to recapitulate our opinions.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET
SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.
Newmarket, Friday Night.

The Prendergast Stakes came off as we had anticipated, at
least as far as the favourite was concerned, as she won by
nearly a length without ever being called upon ; with the win-
ner of the July Stakes (Kate Kearney) it was different, for she
was beaten by nearly every thing in the race, and in particular
by The Glama, who ran third to her in July. The result
speaks largely in favour of the Camel blood, who was first,
second, and third ; we also find it prominent in several other
races. A Camel colt won the St. Leger, another the Ches-
terfield Stakes ; and the same breed came in second, third, and
fifth for the Clearwell. Camel is recommended not only by
his own running (and he was a remarkably fine goer) but by
his family connections, which have always been pre-eminent
for stoutness and honesty. Latest betting :
