SPURTING MUTES.

The Goodwood meeting turned out a great suc-
cess, but the principal feature was the defeat of
Brigantine by Restitution, of which I foretold my
readers on M.mday last. The Sassex racing will
be resumed on Tuesday. The acceptances for the
principal handicap (theßrighton Stakes) will not be
declared till this evening. According to those who
know all about Make Haste, 4 yrs, 7st. 71b, it is
long odds on the son of Toni Bowline. For the
Marine Plate, I fancy Chapel and Wanderer,
though the latter ran so badly last week ; and with
Vespasian and Blue Gown in the Champagne Stakes,
I can look at nothing else, the prize being a
" moral" for one of the pair named. The distance to
be got over is a mile, and they meet at a difference
of a pound, which ought just to turn the scales in
favour of Vespasian. The Corporation Stakes for
two year olds Burgundy ought to win, after the
evidences of form he displayed at the late ducal
meeting. With regard to the Nursery Stakes,
which will be decided on the second day, I can only
express a partiality for Countryman, and as 11,:sti-
tution is fresher than Blueskin, to whom he gave
quit a 71b beating on Thursday last, the Brighton
Cup reads promising for Baron Rothschild, who
has the most to fear from Sir J. Hawley and Morna.
The third day's sport, as usual, will be under the
direction of the members of the club, and it is
only possible to deAl with 'the Two and Three-
Year-Old Biennials at present,: these being pro-
mising for Alarie and Midsummer respectively.
The Brighton running will materially affect the
races set to come off at Lewes on Friday and Satur-
day, and probably the Priory Stakes will have a
different aspect to that it possesses now. Green
Ribaud is entitled to a 51b allowance if he remains
a " maiden " up to Friday, while Burgundy will
have a 71b penalty if he wins on Tuesday. The
latter cannot concede 121 b to Mr. Ray's colt; s:i.l
I fancy he will prove second best, an 1 that the most
prominent runners up of the others will be Pate and
Captivator. Bonne:A way or Tibthorp ought to
wiu the De Warretine Handicap, Burgundy the
Sussex Stakes, and Young Fenton or Provider the
Lewes Handicap. A FRESH. MAN.

DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO DESTROY A WHOLE
FrousEiroLD.— This morning, about 2 o'clock, the inmates
of the Dolphin Tavern, Southwark, had a narrow escai e
of being burned to death, for some evil disposed parson
had wilfully sot it on fire in no fewer than fourteen sepa
rate places. Several fire eng'nes wore soon on the spot,
but by that time the flames were rushing out of the roof.
Fortunately Mr. Cusack (the landlord), was insured.
