S I R, attract a good
field to the post ; in alt probability a dozen will be
THE
e L
mounted. Their names I gave in Note No. 20, but, as
they may not be known to all, I will append them again,
as follows:—Sir John, 12st; The Victim, list 31b; Vain
Hope, list 31b ; British Yeoman, 1 Ist ; Fugitive, lOst
10Ib ; Rattrap, lOst 81b ; Miss Collingwood, lOst 71b ;
Shinrone, lOst 21b; The Young-un, 9st 12lb; mulligan,
9st 91b ; Maurice Daley, 9st 61b ; and Miss Mowbray,
9it 41b. Sir John's weight will effectually prevent him
getting any nearer than third; The Victim, I believe, is
to bo sacrificed this time in favour of the light weight;
Vain Hope, if run to win, is very dangerous; The Bri-
tish Yeoman, considering the heavy state of the ground,
ought to be one of the first four, if not the winner;
Fugitive, I take it, will make way for some of the others;
Rattrap, provided he does not take to refusing his fences,
which, by the way, he is uncommonly given to, must be
in front; Miss Collingwood and Shinrone may officiate
as whippers-in; The Young-un, at 9st 121 b, if meant at
the last moment, and the money leads me to infer that
such will be the case, will, barring accidents, be the first
to clear the winninost Maurice; Daley is booked
safe by Miss Mowg-pbray. In short, I fancy THE
YOUNG-UN will be the winner ! with the Yeoman, Rat-
trap, and Sir John in attendance. Vain Hope's chance,
for obvious reasons, I leave alone; the public, in this in-
stance, must judge for themselves. My remarks on the
Northampton meeting to-morrow.

I am, Sir, yours, &c.
THE SPIRIT OF THE
TURF.
March 20, 1851.

We have been informed that it was Mt. Newdegate,
and not Mr. Henry Berkeley, as stated in most of the morn-
ing papers, who moved the adjournment of the debate on
the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill.
DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—LOSS or LirE.—We
re-
gret to learn that on Sun:.ay afternoon last an accident oc-
curr d nearly opposite Renfrew, which was attended with a
melancholy loss of life. So far as we have ascertained, it ap-
pveoaurnsgtbhoat

fa
Messrs. Fox and liender,on s ironworks, when the lads, be-
ingfrom annoyed by stones thrown at them from the river bank,
hurriedly pressed to the side of their frail barque. The re-
sult was that the boat instantly capsized, and turned bottom
up, leaving the unfortunate youths struggling in the water.
Three of them caught hold of the gunwale, and kept them-
selves afloat till assistance reached them, but the others sank
in deep water to rise no more in life. The se,rch for the

were raes
of the lads whose untimely fate w-1 have thus briefly chro-
nicled were the sons of Mr. &lice, fish merchant, Paisley;
the name of the other we have not learned.--North British

Mall.
SMITHFIELD MARKET IMPROVEMENT.—The inte-
rest the citizens of London appear to take in the retention
and improvement of Smithfield market is apparent from the
fact that within the last few days not less than 5,000 regis-
tered electors have signed the "declaration," addressed to
Lord John itussell and the other City Members, calling on
them to protect their trade and carry out the proposed im-
provements, as suggested by Mr. Bunning; while more than
29,800 bankers, traders, and residents, have signed the peti-
tion against the Government Bill, and in favour of the Cor-
poration scheme. A deputation will wait on Lord John, it is
expected, in a few days.
RERRSENTATION 05' CARDIFF.—With reference to
the paragraph which appeared on the 15th inst., we have
been requested to state that Captain Stuart, of the Grenadier
Guards, son of Lord James Stuart, is A Free-trader, and A
Liberal iJA FAlt4o.
