ECLECTIC.

We differ as utterly and entirely from the scale of
poets sketched out by the Eclectic reviewer, who cri-
ticises in the first article, " Delta's Sketches of Po-
etical Literature," as he does himself from that drawn
out by David Moir, recently deceased and sincerely
lamented. Both scales, in fact, are to our thinking
utterly and entirely preposterous, so utterly and en-
tirely as to rouse us at moments almost to a feeling
of indignation—those whom we would place at the
lowest round of the ladder of eminence being exalted to
the very topmost, and others that we would crown our-
self with the bay garland before any others mentioned,
among the throng of the oi rOAXOi. Several interesting
reviews are given later on in the number, such as that
criticism on Baily's " Sculpture," which forms an ex-
quisite companion chapter to the!paper which appeared
some months back in the Eclectic on the paintings of
Etty. We may particularise also as meritorious the
papers respectively devoted to the consideration of
" Mesmerism " and of " Australia."

GOODWOOD REMINISCENCES ; BRIGHTON

ANTICIPATIONS:

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Yesterday's races exemplified the uncertain
nature of horse-flesh speculations; Claverhouse, after
1 winning the Ham Stakes in a canter, with odds on him
runs fourth and last for the 200 Sovs. Sweepstakes;
Filius winning the race easily, Houlakin second, and
Herschel third. I have reason to believe, however, that
Claverhose wont dead amiss on Wednesday evening.
Lord Eglintoun's colours were also overthrown in the
spin for the Racing Stakes, Sir Joseph Hawley's Con-
fessor winning from Hippolytus and I3uckhound as he
pleased, and almost without an effort; thus another crack
was disposed of. The Molecombe was the third instance
of the "glorious uncertainty" (as it has been termed) of
the turf; Maidstone, with 2 to 1 betted on him, never
once showing in the race; Nat, on Glenluce, making all
the running and winning easily by a length, in 1 min
18 secs; the Merry Monarch filly second, Ambrose third,
Maidstone fourth, and Tho Chief Baron Nicholson last.
The Bentinck Memorial Stakes were won, as I antici-
pated they would be, by the flying daughter of Orlando
and Elopement—Bay Rosalind; Rod Hind was a good
second, Houlakin a bad third, and Happy Joe a most
unhappy fourth and last. The Cup race is easily de-
scribed. The field laid well together to the distance,
where it was completely up with all but Nancy and
Cossack, the former just winning, with nothing to spare,
by a short head! After the race Mr. Pedley objected to
Nancy on the score of age; an examination of her mouth
will take place to-day before the commencement of the
races. The pace was not by any means great. Time,
4 min 59 secs.

The only meeting of any note next week will be at
Brighton, and at that delightful marine spot the sport
on this occasion will surpass any that has ever taken
place there before. I shall merely glance at the prin-
cipal stakes now, and leave the minor events and parti-
culars for consideration on Monday or Tuesday. The
Marine Stakes will be carried off by the Goodwood
stable, probably with HARBINGER. The Pavilion Stakes,
I fanny, may be booked to Mr. Payne with his FREE-
DOM; Lassitude and Sulky in the second and third posi-
tions. Landgrave, Ninus, or Pitsford will compass the
winning feat in the race for the Brighton Cup, but at
the present moment not knowing whether Pitsford or
Landgrave will run, lam unable to speak with
any cei.•-
tainty of the absolute winner, I shall, however, risk it
with either LANDGRAVE Or Nuitrs, former for choice.

Cariboo dropping behind Mentes. Glenhawk carried

P. followed closely by Lord George,
Nancy, Montes, and Cossack; most of the others well
up. There was no further change of any moment until
they were round the last turn. Cariboo now showed
symptoms of distress, and at the bottom of the hill he
was out of the race. Nancy and Cossack now went
right away from their horses, the mare leading three or
four lengths. The horse, however, drew upon her in-
side the distance, and was within a length of her oppo-
sit s the stand, but never quite up, the mare, after a
surprisingly-exciting race, winning by a bead, Campus
bad third, Land rave fourth, Clincher fifth, and Cariboo
sixth. Run in 4 min. 59 secs.

DOINGS IN SAN FRANCISCO.
On June 10th, a Sydney man named John Jenkins
alias Simpton, was detected in carrying off a safe
from an office on Long Wharf, San Francisco, and
after a struggle was arrested in his boat. He
was immediately taken before the Committee of
Safety, consisting of one or two hundred
citizens, tried, found guilty, and sentenced to
be hung within an hour. A minister was sent for, who
endeavoured to administer consolation, but whose efforts
were entirely disregarded by the hardened convict. At
two o'clock at night ho was taken to the public Plaza by
the committee, and the result is thus given by the Herald
of the next morning:—
Arrived at the flag-staff, some were climbing up it to
arrange the halter, when as earnest cry was raised by
some present, "For God's sake, not to hang him on
t
the liberty pole." The appeal was heard, and tho.s 0

Captain Wakeman, well remembered in New York, for
having run away from that city with the steamer New
World, while the sheriff's officers were on beazd.
Immense excitement prevailed at San Francisco when
the steamer sailed, and immense gatherings had been
held on the Plaza, participated in by both those
in favour and against the hanging. There eas much
feeling manifested towards the " Inquisition," as
it is termed, which, like that of the Eternal City be-
fore the abdication of the Pope, was conducted with great
secrecy, far more than might have been anticipated from
the numbers embraced. No arrests have been made
