:hat he has had a most favourable trial.

Rocket has gone back in the betting owing to an
unfavourable trial with Queenstown, but as he tried
to give her a great deal of weight—they say 281bs.
—his owner says he will run, and, perhaps, win in
a " dash trot."

Odd Trick is fancied by nobody except his owner,
and Black Tommy is somewhat in the " same shop.'
" Vander" and Mr. Sykes will both run for the
" D'Orsay," who says one of them will be with the
leaders, but I lack faith in either.
Grand Secret has done nothing in public to in-.
duce me to fancy him, and I think Happy Land
gave him all the 8 lbs. beating at Goodwood, and
will hold him quite safe.
Scribbler cannot be trusted, as everybody knows
after his Doncaster exhibition ; and the Courier, I
fear, is not class enough.

The others are scarcely worth wasting any space
upon, and I may at once state that I place my con-
fidence in

PRIORESS ;

recommending ENGLISH ROSE and ZOUAVE as two
good outsiders and formidable opponents to the
Yankee mare.

Musjid twice disappointed his Derby backers by
his running at Ascot and at Goodwood, but it is
now stated that he will prove himself worthy of
their confidence, by winning the Clearwell Stakes.
For the Bedford Stakes, I shall select King•at-
Arms ; and for the Select Stakes Happy Land.
A FRESH MAN.

TAT TER SALL' S.—SATURDAY EVENING.
The Roman Candle was decidedly the first favou-
rite for the Cesarewitch, 8 to 1 being the highest offer
against him at the close. 10 to 1 was taken and
offered about Prioress, whilst Beacon advanced from
the outride price of 40 to 1, which was laid the
day before, to 100 to 8 taken. The Happy Land receded to
22 to 1 offered. 12 to I might have been had about Ma-
lacca at last, although at one time he was as good a favou-
rite as anything. Very little was done on the Cam-
bridgeshire.

ERRATUM.—In the following sentence of our
first article in Saturday's impression—" The comet of 1843,
the most wonderful on record, whisked round the sun, close
to it, at such a rate that its tail, ' a ',zillion' of mileslong, de-
scribed in two hours the half of an orbit equal to the
earth's," read "a hundred million of miles long."—Times.
Robert Dale Owen, Esq., son of Robert• Owen,
and late United States Minister at Naples 2 arrived in Lon-
don yesterday, and left again, almost immediately, for
Sevenoaks, to see his father, who had, for some days, been
much indisposed and confined to his bed.

THE LATE EXPLOSION OF GAS.—DEATH OF ONE

of the death of Elizabeth Blenpin, aged 40 years, housemaid

and two other domestics, smelling an escape of gas, went
into a room with
a lighted piece of paper, when a most ter-
rific explosion took place, knocking them down, and burn-
ing them in a frightful manner. They were conveyed to
St. George's Hospital, where Mr. Tomlinson, house sur-
geon, rendered every assistance till death terminated her
sufferings. The other two sufferers are progressing
favourably.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN SOHO-SQUARE.—Yester-
day afternoon a young man named Thomas Bowden, in the
employ of Messrs. Edwards and Co., silk mercers, Soho-
square, made a most desperate attempt at suicide, by
himself from an attic window into the area below, a dis-
tance of 150 feet. He was removed to Middlesex Hospital,
where it was found that both legs were broken, arid asevere
wound had been inflicted on the right side of the chin,_ W
tending across the throat. The poor fellow, when pi'ekedm,
was quite sensible, although but little hope remains of WO
recovery. No reason can at present be assigned for the rash
act. He was considered of a strictly moral character, and
much esteemed by his employers.
