In remarking that the meeting was numerously attended,
well conducted, and in every way as successful as could have
been anticipated, we say no more than is due to its pro-
motors. There can be no doubt that it may be made one of
the most attractive of the spring meeting gatherings. We
can also compliment the Great .Northern on the very satis-
factory manner in which their arrangements for the accom-
modation of the racing public were carried out, and more
especially on the punctuality observed in the departure and
arrival of the trains. With reference to this line, although,
perhaps, " going a little out of the record," we should notice
a matter in connexion with the Post. office management
which has long been a source of dissatisfaction to the Don-
caster people. The night mail train from -York arrives at
the Euston station at 4.30 A.m. ; a Great Northern train starts
from York live minutes after the mail, leaves Doncaster at
nine o'clock, and reaches King's cross at time o'clock A.M. ;
yet the Doncaster Post-office is closed about six o'clock, in
order that the bag may be sent across the country to the
Masborough station of the Midland line; and so little atten-
tion has been paid to the remonstrances of the inhabitants,
that up to the present time the authorities of St. Martin's-le-
Grand have withheld from them the advantages of 41 day
mail. We believe it is intended to petition Parliament on
the subject.

THL BLTTING-I\oo3l STAKES.

Nancy was objected to after the race, on the ground that
she carried more than 21b overweight without declaring it.
The matter stands over for the opinion of Captain Rous.

T a numerous Meeting of Shareholders of the
EAST N COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY, held #t
~.undon Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, the 15th day of March, 183,
GeorFe Hammond Whalley, Esq., in the Chair,

It was resolved unaelmcusly,
That it having come to the knowledge of this meeting that
Mr. David Waddington is to be put in nominati n as a
D.rector of this Company, at a meeting to be lied on
the 1 sth• inst.; arid that he is making great efforts to secure his
eleeti.in, tins meeting feels valid upon to deelare its opinion that
lis election weu:d be disastrous to the prospects of the company, for
he following reasons :-
1. That Mr. Waddington having, from 1345 to 1843, had the
management of the tratc department of the Railway, either adopted
or permitted a systematic mis-statement of the traffic account to
the amount, as appears by the Report of the Committee of Investi-
gation, of upwards of 1E3,0001, ; "for which," in the words of the
Report, " it is impossible to conceive any excuse, and which every
right-minded person must indignantly condemn."
2. That Mr. Waddington being thus identified with such system of
railway management, and also with other cir, umstences eterred to
in the said Report, his election would prevent the revival of public
confidence, as well in the published accounts as in the private
•
management of the Company. •
3. That, whether justly or not, Mr. Waddington being thus
known, his e!ection would be n. deziaration that the syetem so adopted
or permitted by him was justifiable, and mast consequently p,rpe-
tuate and increase want of confidence on the part of the public ;
it being impoSsib:e that so vast an enterprise as the Eastern Comi-
ties Kaliway coeld continue to exist to defiance of the recognised
principles of commercial character.

It was resolved unanimously,
Th"at this meeting. therefore feels justified in making an earnest
appeal to their fellow-Shareholders to attend the nv.eting on the troth
hist , in order to uphold the character and protect the interests of the
Company

(Signed) G. U. WIIALLEY, Chairman.

DEATH OF SIR EDMUND WALLER, BART.—This
baronet died on the 9th inst.,'after a long illness, at Brigh-
ten, in the 55th year of his age. The deceased was nephew
of the Rev. Sir Charles Towushend Waller, the third baronet.
He married, first, 1828, the second daughter of George
Wal:er, Esq., of Prior Park, county of `Tipperary; and, se-
condly, the third daughter of Arthur Guinness, Esq., of Dub-
lin, the eminent brewer, and the sister of the present Lord
Mayor of Dublin. The deceased succeeded his uncle in
1830. He is succeeded by his son Robert, born in 183'.
The first baronet was one of the commissioners of the revenue
- in Ireland, and represented the borough of Dundalk in Par-
liament. The title was created in 1780.
- EIRFORCEMUNTS FOR THE CAFE.—As we pre-
dicted last week, the 3d Buffs haVe been placed in readiness
to embark for the Cape of Goad 'Hope as well as the 74th
Highlanders. We also. understand that it is expected two
more regiments will be held in readiness to embark for the
same - destination. The 13th Light Infantry, now under
orders to embark for Gibraltar, have been informed that in
the event of its being found necessary to send additional
troops to the Cape, they will. at once proceed to that station.
