A FEW WORDS ON YES i ERDAY'S AND TO
I.OW-10 WS RACES AT NEWMARKET.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The majority of yesterday's races resulted in
favour of my judgment; one of the principal ones, The
Grand Duke Michael Stakes, haring fallen to Mountain
Deer, who I fancied, when I penned my observations
Deer,
on
this stake some days ago, would not start;
however, came out iu his old form, and won the race
cleverly from Anspach by a shortish length,
ethe gaanme
little Midas running home third, /Bolus, Phlgra, d
Goliah beaten for pace. The Hopeful Stakes wcs con-
tested actually by only three nags; Kingston, as I pre-
dicted, winning cleverly by half, a length, Ambrose
having but a neck the advantage of Flirt. This was
the best race of the day. The 'Third Thermal Produce
Stakes attracted exactly the field- to the post that I
announced it would; this of course ' was the race,
so far, however, only as money is concerned,
and the future chances of the celebrities engaged therein.
The first to cut out the work was, naturally enough, Ls-
martine; he kept the game up as long as he could, and
was then headed by Midas; at the cords Hernandez and
Ariosto went tothe front, the latter maintaining a slight
lead until within a hundred yards of the judge's chair,
but was stylishly defeated in the struggle by a length.
It is a curious fact that Midas should run third both in
the Grand Duke Michael and these stakes. Weather-
gage. as I remarked before, would walk over for the
200 Soya. Stakes, and did so. The trio of matches,
without exception, ended in forfeits. Having disposed of
yesterday's races, I now turn my attention to te-mor-
row's, which for a singular wonder has only four in the
list; two of them—the Queen's Plato of 100 guineas,
R. C., and the Town Plate of 50 soya., D.l.—not having
yet closed, consequently I willproceed to give the probable
starters for the:Fourth Triennial Produce Stakes, T.Y.C.
They are as follows:—Greyleg, H. R. 11. filly or Hespe-
rus, Longbow, Chaffinch or Glenluce (both dubious),
Caloric, Odessa colt, Poodle, Lapidist, Ambrose or the
Toga filly, and France or Child of the Mist. The re-
sult, I imagine, will lay with Lord Ribblesdale's new
purchase, Longbow, and Greyleg, and if I were to place
them in the following style I think I should not be wide
of the mark :
LAPIDIST
LONGBOW 2
GREY LE G
The Rutland Stakes will have the follow ing field at the
post:—Martinet, Lady in Waiting, Passion colt, Adine,
and perhaps Ambrose or Caloric; the race seems a cer-
tainty for Adine if she runs.; the next two in my esti-
mation are Ambrose and the Lady. I must correct an
error with respect to to-day's races which appeared in
yesterday's notes, in which I stated that the Goodwood
party seemed determined to withdraw one if not both
their horses for the Second Triennial Produce Stakes;
it is now, however, all but certain that they will, on the
contrary, start both of them, in which case there cannot
remain the shadow of a doubt as to what quarter the
winner will come from; my weathercock points from
Sussex, the Nigger for choice.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,

Mr. Burford 's Maisemore Lass (Cheswas) bolted
Betting—Cosachia even agst 'the field, 2 to 1 agst
Maisemore Lass, and 4 to 1 agst Jessie.
At starting Jessie led, but was evidently more friskey
than sound. Tho Maisemore Lass bolted, or was forced
to a bolt, at the first opening. Cosachia was evidently
held in hand till near the distance post, whoa she made
the running, and easily displaced her single competitor,
winning the first heat by a length. In the second heat
the same tactics were at work—Jessie led off hotly, and
Cosachia passed her easily at the distance post, and both
struggled hard for the victory, which was gained by
Cosachia by half a length.
The Monmouthshire Stakes of 10 sous. well. 5 ft, with
401. added. Two miles. Heats, twice round and a
distance. Seven horses entered.

followed by Stafford, and Breach of Promise lying far

MELANCHOLY ACClDENT.—Yesterday an inquest
was held before Mr. William Baker, jun., deputy coroner, at
the Horse and Groom, Church-street, Hackney, one view of n
the body of Mr. William Gillian], aged 60, who rsided i
Mare-street, Hackney. The deceased on Monday morning
was at the window of his bed-room, from which ho gave di-
rections to his servant to order a cab for him, for the purpose
of taking him to Horusey. The servant, who was in the
forecourt of tke house, bad scarcely turned l is back when he
heard a heavy fall. On looking round he saw deceased on
the ground, and found him in a state of insensibility. A
surgeon was called, who found the skull of the deceased ex-
tensively fractured, and that life was extinct. Deceased had
been for some months past suffering from giddiness, and it is
supposed that after giving the order he was seized, and that
while in that state he fell from the window. Verdict —"Ac-
cidental death."
On the 15th of September there arrived in New
York no fewer than 3,890 emigrants, of whom 2,452 were
from Liverpool.
