SOUND, BRITONS, SOUND!

[Written by Charles Sheard ; the music composed by
Henry Russell, and published exclusively in the "Musical
Bouquet."]

Sound, Britons, sound ! the rights of Man around,
Raise high your voices for freedom far and near ;
Old England still is strong
To battle with the wrong—
Raise high your voices for th cause of freedom dear;
B 3 men still, to work with heart and will—
Work till your voice shall have set the captive free,
Till Nature's men of worth
Win their birthright on the earth—
Till the dungeon, cell, and rack no more shall be !
H.
Weep, men, weep ! in death our brothers sleep;
From Italy's fair land we hear a piercing cry,
Where the brave receive a brand,
Or are banish'd from their land,
Or in a dungeon thrust to starve and die ! •
Down, thou, down ! nor heed the Despot's frown—
Down with these deeds of blood, done in religion's name ;
Where the heart is wrung by fears,
And eyes are dimm'd with tears,
In the land of beauty, liberty, and fame.

111.
Speak, men, speak, protect the wrong'd and weak,
Still are there noble hearts to end the work began,

Who spurn oppression's cause,
And who seorn the despots' laws,
Who will battle for the cause of right and man -
And soon the day will come, when each man shall love his

home,
No matter where his home or country be,
When might shall not be right,
And nations cease to fight,
Except to make down-trodden nations free.
Iv.
Shout, Britons, shout ! till all the world throughout,
Your (sheeting voice shall hear o'er ev'ry land and sea ;
Our duty is to fight
For the cause of truth and right,
And to set the Slave and tortur'd brother free ;
Our cause is right and good, and we'll freely shed our
blood
Till the despot shall for ever bide his face;
Shall follow in his track,
And freedom dwell with all the human race.

THE ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.—There is a ru-
mour in the City that Alderman Salomons is likely to
be re-appointed Lord Mayor of-London at the election
which will take place next Monday. 'The two senior
aldermen below the chair are Mr. Finnis and Sir B.
W. Carden, and these in the ordinary course would be
returned by the livery to the Court of Aldermen, who
would elect one of them (generally the senior) as Lord
Mayor for the next year. The licensed victuallers,
who possess great influence in the City, are opposed
to Sir. R. W. Carden, in consequence of the course
he took with regard to the Sunday Beer Bill, and
generally to the interests of the publicans, and are said
to be resolved in defeating his nomination at the ap-
proaching election, and with that view will return Al-
derman Salomons and Alderman Finnic to'the Cdurt of
Alder Men, who in that case would no doubt re-elect
Alderman Salomons. In the event of Alderman Salo-
mons not being returned by the livery, and Sir W.
Carden passed over, the two Aldermen returned to the
court will be Mr. Finnis and Mr. D. W. Wire, in which
case Mr. Alderman Finnis will undoubtedly be selected
as the next chief magistrate for the city of London.
THE NEW BISHOP OF LONDON.—The Rev. Dr. Tait,
who has accepted the Bishopric of London is thus
spoken of by the Carlisle Patriot, in which city he
has for the last few years officiated as dean :—"Dr.
Tait will make .an effective Bishop of London, if
his duties are not found to exceed his bodily
powers. In other respects he will doubtless be
acceptable in the metropolis to both clergy and
laity. An elegant scholar, refined in manners, chari-
table to the full extent of his means, however ample ;
above all, deeply impressed with the duties of the pas-
toral office and the requirements of his Christian pro-
fesAon, he will, we are quite sure, prove himself second
to none in the high position to which it is his good for-
tune to be elevated. In Carlisle, as dean, he has un-
questionably done much good, both in the church and
to the cause of education. Ail ranks will miss him, but
the poor especially will lose in him and Airs. Tait at
once the most considerate and benevolent of friends."

SPORTING NOT.

THEE DMUS AT DONCASTER.

Although the principal Handidar event and the Great
St. Leger were carried off by outsiders, yet the doings
at Doncaster were unprofitable enough to a large ma-
jority of book makers. They who had opposed Ellington
when Fazzoletto was in the full flush of popularity were
compelled at the last moment to get out at what linen-
drapers call an alarming sacrifice; but they who had
sufficient pluck to stand their money out against the
favourite were well rewarded for their temerity. It Is
said that Ellington's party are not after all heavy losers
by the result ofj the race; but this assertion I can
scarcely believe to be founded on fact. That the with-
drawal of Fly-by-Night and Fazzoletto brought them a
good deal of money is unquestionable, and the price to
which Eglinton was ultimately advanced doabtless
enabled them to obtain profitable hedging. It is also
stated that one of the staunchest supporters of the horse
backed Warlock at long odds.
To account for the inglorious exhibition of the favourite
is impossible. If he figured in his correct form at
Doncaster; what an extraordinary fluke must have been
his Derby victory ! Although, in the anticipatory re-
marks which were published in The Szz on Monday
last, I wotrld "have none of him," yet I did not rate
his racing ability so low as would he now warranted,
if his running at Doncaster afforded any crite-
rion of it. In fact, I do not believe' in
Ellington's performances at Doncaster, and I am disin-
clined to regard them as a trustworthy indication of
Ellington's racing power. The horse seemed to me to
be nervous, and, despite what has been urged to the con-
trary, deficient in preparation.
The surprise prepared by John Scott, it is said, was
scarcely anticipated by his warmest admirers, and the
most sanguine believers in the art and tact of "The
Wizard of the North." Even the owner of Warlock,
who only backed the horse for 2001., had so little con-
fidence in the ultimate profit of his investment that he
gladly allowed whatever friends applied to him to "stand
in." Even! Flatman, the jockey, when he got to
the distance, and- found the horse s" going easy "
with Into, and that, in fact, his. getting home
first was a certainty, is said to have been
most agreeably astonished. His surprise, however, did
not interfere with his judgment, for he waited with the
most consummate patience, and brought his horse to the
front with' wonderful coolness and steadiness. His quiet
simile, 'on pulling up, however, showed how deep was his
gratification at adding a second St. Leger to his list of
wins. Artillery proved that, after all, he has some
stuff 'about him, and that his party were in a measure
justified in backing him for the Derby. He proved at
any rate second best in the St. Leger ; for had he not
lost start, and kept so far out of his ground, he ought
to have beaten Bonnie Scotland at least. The horse,
however, requires delicate handling, and perhaps
Basham , best consulted his temper by the style
in which he rode him. Bonnie Scotland is a
fine handsome colt, but with the queerest forelegs,
which will always render him difficult to train. Victoria,
of whom great expectations were once entertained, and
who, on the withdrawal of Fazzoleto, was believed likely
to turn out the trusted representative of the Whitewall
stable, disappointed her backers. All things corsidered,
the St. Leger of 1856 will perhaps long be remembered
as the most extraordinary race on reoord. No very large
winners are yet reported, but I shall doubtless hear of
several " favourites of fortune" this afternoon at the
Corner, when the final squaring of accounts will take
place.

The handicaps, which seemed on paper badly con-
structed, and which were much found fault with to the
umbrage of one of the stewards, really produced close
and interesting races, and therefore in a measure silenced
the adverse criticism which they produced. The success
of old Typee for the Great Yorkshire Handicap was
hailed with considerable gratification, and the fact of
her being the top weight will doubtless give additional
encouragement to handicappers to abolish the low scale
of imposts which has of late years become much abused,
and which has unquestionably exercised a pernicious
influence on horse racing. The Portland Plate, too,
for which' thirty horses started, also furnished a credit-
able specimen of amateur handicapping.
The two•yr•old races introduced us again to Goldfinch,

who figured in a style incompatible with his Ascot per-
formance ; Tasmania, a fine mare, who is likely to be again
peen to advantage; Lambourne, who seems too small ever
to do great things ; Blink Bonny and Ignoramus, who
fully sustained their reputation ; Gemnia di Vergy, who
appears to have hid quite enough knocking about ; and
Tournament, who is likely to be a prominent favourite
for the Derby throughout the winter.
The racing on Friday showed two "oughts." First
that Melissa ought to have won the Oaks, because she

out up Mincepie without an effort; and secondly, that

she ought to have won the Cup, because the "Vicar" did
not mako sufficient use of her. Still no person regretted
the magnificent Doncaster trophy's going to so ripe and
true a sportsman as Lord Zetland, who will allow it to
ornament his side board, and not either return it to the
silversmiths for "a consideration," or dispose of it to
clerks of courses to be contested at other meetings.
Ellington's running on Friday was not better than his
running on Wednesday. The Nursery Stakes produced
a most interesting race, the favourite, Gitana, who had
been highly tried with Tournament, lost only through
the badness of her start.

Many minor meetings are appointed to take place
during the current week, but they are not likely
to attract much attention. Mr. S. Merry will make an
" experiment " at Beccles to-morrow and Wednes-
day. He is using every exertion to improve the
chaiacter of the sport in that locality, and
has received strong assurances of encouragement
and patronage from the noblemen and gentlemen of the
district. The programme comprises six closed stakes,
and several other " events," for which the nominations
have yet to be made. Of the eight weighted for the
Beccles and Suffolk Handicap, Redemption seems to be
the most trustworthy. Either Adatnas or Barbarity
ought to win the Benacre Stakes. With a start I shall
stand Pope Joan and Bobby B for the Sotterly Park
Plate. Adamas and Sorceress appear to be favourably
weighted for the Henham Nursery Plate. Rialto or
Nois.ette may carry off the Suffolk Cup. Nearly all the
horses entered for the Corporation Plate have other
engagements at". this meeting; it would therefore be
absurd at present to endeavour to foretel the winner of
that event.

The Leicester meeting will take place on Wednesday
and Thursday, and is likely to be well attended by
metropolitan turfites. Under the management of Mr.
T. Marshall, jun„ the business will be conducted with
business-like regularity, and every arrangement which
can tend to promote the success of the gathering will
be adopted.
The County Cup seems likely to go to either An.
nouncement or Adam, Goldhill having broken down
very badly at Warwick, and having been scratched for
all his engagements this year. The Two-yr-old Stakes I
assign to Gemma di Vergy, in whose default, however,
Madame Clicquot 'will win. The most attractive names
amongst the nominations for the Leicestershire Handicap
are Fisherman, Pantomime, and Prince of Orange;.
and I :shall not be surprised to see them pass the
post is the order in which I. have set down their
names. The Belvoir Stakes seems likely to be placed
to the Cropper's score. Could I calculate upon a start,
I should give my preference to Pantomime and the
Cropper for the bandicaip of lOsovs. each, Welter weights.
New Brighton or Olythpus may win the Scurry Plate. •
The Walsall Races do not require notice. The Man-
chester Meeting, which will take place on Friday and
Saturday, I shall reserve for discussion on Thursday.
A FRESH MAN.

Tenders will be received at the War Department, Pall
Mall, on or before the 25th inst., from parties willing to
purchase the following military stores :-21,085

35,306 musket barrels.
DEATH IN ST. SAVIOUR'S WORKHOUSE.—An inmate
of St. Saviour's Workhouse, named Charles Taylor
Molsom, aged 42, died on Sunday week, and an inquest
was held last Saturday. It appeared that he was ad-
mitted on the 4th inst., and was placed in the proba-
tionary ward at first, and set, like the others, to break
stones, until, being ill, at the recommendation of the
medical officer, he was removed, and properly cared for.
The cause of his death seemed to be a serious effusion 00
the brain, but it did not result from overwork ; and the
jury returned a verdict of "Natural death,' expre.ssing
their opinion that there was no want of care or dis-
cretion on the part of the taskmaster.

admirable advantages possessed by the newly introduced

present proprietor of the patent, is very properly showing
its capabilities in a practical way, at No. 133, High
