The death of Mr. Warburton on Thursday last in
Cadogan-place, in the 74th year of his age, is an-
other loss of an eminent and useful public man of
our times—of a class of older men which will be
soon chronicled as a bygone generation.
Mr. Warburton was the son of a merchant of the
city of London, and was formerly himself alialtie
merchant, largely engaged in the timber trade. His
natural talent induced his parents to spare no cost
in the education of a promising son. - Henry War-
burton was an Etonian. He left Eton late,
entering Trinity College, Cambridge. ' Excelling in
mathematics, as well as is classics, lie became a
scholar and a wrangler. Nor was his -education
and self-education limited to the ordinary acquire-
ments obtained by the general run of students in
our Universities. His love of excellence or desire
of distinction and intellectual superiority influenced
the future development of his character. After he
left Trinity he engaged in commercial pursuits.
He devoted all his leisure hours to the acquire-
ment of knowledge, and, never marrying, a more
intense lover of books, from his earliest to
his last years, has seldom existed. He was a Fellow
of the Royal •Society, and a member of most
of the learned societies of the metropolis. He
was one of the earliest and principal aids of
Lord Brougham in the foundation .of a London Uni-
versity, and he was a member of the Senate when
the first and second Colleges were incorporated. '
Political economy was his special study, in what
was termed half a century since the school of Adam
Smith.' His hereditary political creed was that of
a Liberal, a " Whig and something more," but till
middle life he took no part in politics. Of retiring
habits, and with a certain physical timidity, the
City platform had no attraction for a man of his
superior education and tastes. In fact, he entered
the House of Commons, in 1826, as one of the mem-
bers for Bridport, almost an unknown man. The
late James Mill, father of Mr. John Mill, was his
chief political instructor. 'With David Ricardo, C.
P. Thomson (Lord Sydenham), Mr. Hyde Villiers,
the elder deceased brother of Lord Clarendon, Mr.
Warburton usually acted when first in Parliament.
He immediately attached himself to the small mi-
nority voting in Mr. Hume's early divisions, Lord
Althorp and Sir Henry Parnell supporting the
same phalanx of, Reformers. Mr. Warburton's
first Parliamentary essay was the prosecution of
a reform of the Royal College of Surgeons. He
was persistent and persevering in his endeavours
to " open", the body of that corporation and to
reform its abuses. The following year, widen-
ing his ohject, he obtained a select committee on
the laws affecting anatomical studies in particu-
lar. Popular prejudice was much excited, and for
three years remedial .legislation was obstructed.
But though failing in his Bill of 1828 to legalise
and regulate the supply of subjects for our schools
of anatomy—the bill passing the Commons, but
being rejected by the Lords Mr. Warburton in
1831 eventually succeeded in 'passing a most useful
Act. He always said that Ultra-Radicals and the
ignorant and 'pauper members were his real op-
ponents. The late Mr. Henry Hunt in particular
used to describe Mr. Warburton as a man monster.
In 1834 -he also obtained a select committee to in-
quire into the various branches of the medical pro-
fession. His next legislative subject was an attack
on the game laws as they then existed. His pithy
and statistical speeches on this, as well as on all his
personal political questions in Parliament, always
gained " the ear of the House." In a remarkable
illustration at this period he once denounced the
old law :—" I have read," he said, "in Marina's
account of the Tonga islands, that there the rats
were preserved as game, and, though everybody
might eat rats, nobody was allowed to kill them
but somebody
_descended from their gods or their
kings. This is the only country and the only case
I know of which furnishes anything like a parallel
to our game laws." But no man was a more deter-
mined sportsman ; he was " an excellent shot ;" few
men more ardent or successful in field sports, espe-
cially fishing. -
On the Combination and Machinery Laws, Select
Committees, and legislation before the Reform agi-
tation Mr. Warburton was the active ally of Mr.
Joseph Hume and Francis Place. His constant
attendance in committees and. his unwearying stay
in the House of Commons' sittings was remarkable.
In the " smallest minorities" of Hume Mr. War-
burton was usually seconder of the veteran Re-
former, or always one of the number dividing. A.
more indefatigable or practical member of a Legis-
lature never represented the interest of the public.
In 1831 and 1832, adhering to Lord Althorp, Mr.
Warburton exercised great personal influence. He
was justly respected in the Lower House as the
head of the class of advanced Reformers. In and
out of Parliament he advocated the creed, that
" something was better than nothing." He coun-
selled, throughout the exciting period of the Reform
nitation, a firm adhesion to the Whig Ministry
and measures of the late Earl Grey ; and, in the
memorable few days of Mav, 1832, he contributed
much to induce the more violent Radicals to accept
the Reform Bill with the discount exacted in its
passage through' the two Houses of Parliament.
We well recollect, also, that he deprecated all oppo-
sition to the subsequent but accompanying Boun-
dary Bills, as matter of secondary moment com-
pared with the earliest possible Royal assent to the
more important general Acts of the reform of our
representative system.
We need not chronicle his labours on the
beer bills, • free trade, the modern plans of
taking .the divisions of the Commons, the Oaths
Acts, and other bygone legislation. Mr. War-
burton was an advocate of the Ballot, and on

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.—
It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious
article of animal diet first made its appearance; and already
Its celebrity is world-wide. It has been 3 subject of wonder,
and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been
brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts
concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days" since,
a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a
" perfect hag of bones." lie tried all kinds of things to get
the animal into condition, but in vain. lie then bought some
of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The
horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had
gained no less than 11 stones. Again we find at the late agri-
enitural shows at- Ifirminf,ham, Cardiff, &e., the animals which
carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor-
ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we
are forced to the conclusion that its celarity arises solely
from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can
proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those
who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle
will do well to apply to 77, Newpte-street, London, for a
pamphlet which is sent post-free.

tempt of a weak opponent. Such severe minds,
however, are necessary ingredients in the political
crucible. On the poor-law discussions he was, as a
pure Malthusian, the severest of the severe. lie
would have risked a revolt of human nature rather
than deal with a man as he is. lie would have
immolated any number of victims at the shrine of
the public interest unmercifully. His argument,
for instance, on the national copyright question was
stated really to amount to this—that it was cheaper
to steal books than to buy them. It was sensibly
replied to him that, leaving the morality out of the
question, thieving was, in the main, a much dearer
process. Mr. Warburton was a member of the
Athenaeum, University, Brooks's, the Reform, and
Political Economy Clubs. Few men, till his later
years, " mixed more in society." In private life
his character and integrity were universally
respected, and even his political opponents often
advised with him on neutral and social questions.

COM-
the

The first witness eiamined was Captain Atthnr.
Hawkins, who spoke in farour of a harbour of
refuge at the Skerrics.
Mr. Graves, shipowner, of Liverpool, and chair-
man of the Shipowners'A?i6Clation; 'thought that
harbours of refuge would tend greatly to the rre-
servation of life 'and property. The existence of
such harbours would, in his opinion, tend to lower
the rates of insurance. A harbour of refuge at the
Skerries might induce masters in the American
trade to come more frequently "north about" in
springthe of the year, and thus save about 500
miles. He thought, however, that the construction
of harbours of refuge should be considered as
nationtl rather than a commercial question, and
that the shipowners would object to the construc-
tion of such harbours if they were taxed to bear
the expenses of construction. Though useful as
secondary ports to call for orders, Mr. Graves did
not think that harbours of refuge would make good
primary ports for such a purpose. He considered
that the leading causes of the loss of life and pro-
perty at present were an imperfect knowledge of
tides and currents, neglect of the men, and a bad
look-out. One of the greatest advantages of har-
bours of refuge would-be to avoid the arils arising
from collision. Mr. Graves expressed his disap-
proval of the present system of lights authorised by
the Admiralty.
Mr. Langton, vice-chairman of the Liverpool
Underwriters' Association, thought that though the
construction of harbours of refuge was desirable,
they would not, from the lowness of existing rates,
and the mode in which the business of underwrit-
ing was conducted, have any marked or immediate
effect upon the rates of insurance. Such harbours
should, in his opinion, be constructed and main-
tained out of the consolidated fund. A harbour at
Wick or Aberdeen was very necessary, but Mr.
Langton did not think one necessary at the Isle of
Man.
Mr. A. Corkhill, for many years shipowner and
ship agent in connexion with the north-east coast
of Scotland and the Baltic, said that a harbour of
refuge was very much required et Wick.
Mr. Mondel, shipowner, of Liverpool, and a
member of the Mersey Dock Board, though opposed
to the payment of a passing toll, was quite willing,
as a shipowner, to pay a usage toll where his ships
derived advantage from a harbour of refuge. In
Mr. Mondcl's opinion, the harbours of earlingford
and Waterford might be deepened with advantage ;
and a harbour of refuge at Douglas (Isle of Man)
would, he thought; be very useful to the shipping
engaged in the Liverpool trade.

which was somewhat damaged at Goodwood, it
brought, Promised Land into increased demand for
the next year's Derby. For the last race on the
first day Shafto came in first, but his jockey being
2lbs. overweight, he was disqualified, and the race
was awarded to the second horse. The rules of
racing state, that " Each jockey shall be allowed
2lbs. above the weight specified for his horse to
carry, and no more," and, as Charlton, the rider of
Shafto, only just drew 21b., it was contended that
no rule had been broken, and that the horse ought
not to be disqualified. The case was heard by the
stewards the next day, and they decided
that the jockey having drawn the Ms. was
more than 2lbs. over weight. Their decision
is important, as it will prevent a similar question from
arising on a future occasion. Its correctness, how-
ever, has been widely questioned, but in support of
the stewards' ruling the following passage from the
" Merchant of Venice " has been cited :
. " But just a pound of flesh : if thou tak'st more,
Or less, than just a pound—be it so much
As makes it light or heavy in-the substance,
Or the division of the twentieth part
Of one poOr scruple; nay, if the scale do turn
But in the estimation of a hair,
Thou diest."
The St. Leger day lost none of its prestige. The
withdrawal of Fitz-Roland (who broke down badly
the week before), the sudden rise of Eclipse and
Volta, and the hostility which was in certain quar-
ters arrayed against Toxophilite, contributed to
keep alive the curiosity of the public. People were
strong in their faith in Toxophilite, despite the fact
'of his hating gone amiss at Goodwood and the
doubts which. were entertained of his staying qua-
lilies. Although " Tox " was the most popular
horse in the county, rtYrkshire was divided between
him and the Hadji, about whom, up to the very
hour of starting, the utmost uncertainty pre-
vailed, and Mr. Merry and the public were
puzzled respecting- Sunbeam and Blanche of Mid-
dlebie. Both mares had been tried with Saunterer,
and Blanche had beaten Sunbeam. Mr. Merry,
therefore, deeming Blanche the better animal, de-
clared to win with her. And doubtless she would

THE SEA SERVIC'E IN THE EAST.

Among the passengers by the Pera, which ar-
rived at' Southampton yesterday with the India
mail, were Captain Bown, of the Hydaspes, troop
steamer, and sonic of the crew of her Majesty's
steamer Cyclops, who were at the bombardment of
Jeddah, in the Red Sea. Capt. Bown commanded
the European and American Company's steamer
Hydaspes, which took out troops to India a twelve-
month ago. After she left St. Vincent a rumour
was extensively circulated in England that she was
lost. Near the Mauritius Cttain Bown fell down
the saloon stairs, and he wets- found lying in a pool
of blood and insensible. He was landed at the
Mauritius, apparently in a dying state. His friends
in England never heard from him for two or three
!months. The next news was that the Hydaspes
had passed the Mauritius on her homeward voyage,
and that Captain Bown wished to bring his ship
home, but that his medical man did not consider
he was sufficiently recovered to do so. The cap-
tain therefore came home by way of the Red Sea
and Egypt, and arrived at Southampton just as the
arrival of the Hydaspes in the port of London was
announced. The portion of the crew of the Cyclops
who came home in the Pera are invalids. The
climate for sailers in the Red Sea is frightful, espe-
cially for men in the engine department.
The thermometer under awning on the deck
was at times at 130. At -night they often slept
under heavy dews. To be cool, firemen went
almost naked, and within a minute after they
were on duty at the fiers streams of perspiration
ran from them, Their joints chafed and became raw,
and they experienced great suffering. One poor
fellow, a fireman of the Cyclops, who came home in
the Pera, quite a young man, had apparently an

ireTdhdeahCyclopB men stated that the
severe but that there was a scant supply of ammu-
nition on board. There was no possibility of getting
more, except by -going to Aden for it. There was
only sufficient ammunition on board to frighten the,
'authorities into executing the ringleaders of the
massacre. The Cyclops could not get near the town,
but the ball and shell practice on board, during the
bombardment,was exceedingly good: A shell dropped
in amongst about 500 menacing Arabs on the beach,
and did great execution amongst them. The cul-
prits condemned to be executed in the presence of
the English fer the massacre were brought out on
a reef between the Cyclops and the town. Their
sentence was to be beheaded. The first who suf-
fered death admitted that he was a ringleader in
the massacre, All of them had their arms pinioned
and there was an opinion that a few were innocent
of the crimes for which they suffered. The decapi-
tation of the first was effected very skilfully. The
second was a negro, a tall and powerful fellow. He
made an energetic speech before he laid his head
on the block. The executioner first wounded
him in the neck. The culprit then made a
fearful struggle, and got his arm loose, and in de-
fending his neck he had his arm chopped off. It
was necessary to shoot him. The executioner
cut off the dead man's finger to get
at a silver ring on it. Some of the bunga-
lows destroyed off Jeddah were fitted up apparently
for the conveyance of slaves, and there would ap-
pear to be a great deal of slavery going on in the
Red Sea. A number of negroes swam off to the
Cyclops while she lay off there, and claimed the
protection of the captain, which was granted. Soine
were entered on the ship's books, and others were
to be sent to Bombay. The Red Sea, between Suez
and Jeddah, was sun-eyed near each coast 'and
down the centre. The bottom was found well
adapted for laying down a submarine cable. A
depth •of 1,100 and 1,300 fathoms was found in
some parts. The Cyclops would, it was supposed,
lie three months at Suez, and then survey between
Jeddah and Aden. The bottom of the Rid Sea was
of coral.

LEICESTER AND MONMOUTH.
Journalists are evidently hard-up for " taking"
subjects at this dull period of the year, or they
would not have seized with so much avidity upon
the simple fact of Lord Derby's selling his racing
stud, and attempt, with much ingenuity, to turn
the circumstance into a political significance. The
_Record used the supposed retirement of Lord Derby
from the turf as a peg on which to hang a homily
on horse racing and racing men, and to-day the
Times and the Daily News come out with
two leaders remarkable for nothing but their
shallowness. It is attempted to prove that the
sale of Lord Derby's horses at Doncaster was
merely a delusion and a snare, and the 2'imes does
not hesitate to insinuate that the more valuable
horses were merely put up to draw buyers together,
in order that the worthless ones alohe might be
disposed of. It blames Lord Derby because he did
not allow animals tobe sold at a rate far below their
marketable value. If the Times' argument hold..
good, a baker who did not take fompence for a six-
penny loaf would be liable to the charge of vending
articles which he did not intend to sell. Every
animal which was " put up" at Doncaster would
have been disposed of if a fair price could have been
obtained.

The doings at Doncaster have been so fully dis-
cussed that I have really very little to add to the
elaborate accounts of the meeting with which all the
papers have been filled. All persons are agreed that
a meeting of surpassing success was celebrated, and
that the importance which attached to the pro-
ceedings• was_ almost unprecedented. To turn,
therefore, from a subject which by this time must
be dull and tedious, I will more profitably employ
the reader's time by directing his attention to the
sport which is appointed to come off during the
current week.

MIDDLESEX LUNATIC ASYLUM, at
HANWELL.—Persons willing to TENDER for sup-
plying the above-named Institution with MEAT, Flour,
Malt, Hops, Hay and Straw, Oatmeal, Peas, Butter, Cheese,
or Bacon, for six calendar months, from the Ist of October
next, or with any of the under-mentioned articles for twelve
calendar months from that day, viz. :—Groceries, Soap, Oil-
colours, Brooms, Brushes, Window-glass, Lead and Leaden-
piping, Hosiery, Linen and Woollen Drapery, Blankets, Rugs,
Straw Hats and Bonnets, Tobacco, Snuff, Cloth Boots and
Shoes, Leather, and Wine and Spirits for the sick, are re-
quested to deliver sealed tenders to me before Eleven o'clock
on TUESDAY, the 28th inst., at the Sessions House, Clerken-
well-green, and to attend there personally at Twelve o'clock
that day. Blank forms, in which tenders must be made, may
be obtained, and the form of contract maybe seen, either upon
application to me at the said Sessions House, or to the store-
keeper at the Asylum ; and patterns and samples, to which
the contractors will be strictly required to conform, may be
seen at the Asylum at Hanwell. The Committee of Visitors
will not bind themselves to accept the lowest or any of the
tenders.

Mr. T. Marshall has worked well for Leicester, and
has prepared a programme which will be attractive
enough to draw together a large assemblage of sports-
men from the metropolis and the midland districts.
Six races will be decided each day, and if the fields
be small there will be no paucity of amusements.
Border Chief or Slyfellow ought to be quite capable
of winning the Belvoir Castle Stakes, and T. P. Cooke
should be enabled to gallop off with the Cup. His
most formidable antagonist will, perhaps, be Verona.
The Leicestershire Handicap seems to my thinking
likely to go to either Orchehill or Prince of Denmark,
Ardour and Newcastle may make an interesting
race of it for the Two-yr-old Stakes, but my liking
bears towards the son of Newminster. For the
Ladies' Plate I shall select Winkfield and Apollo.
The Welter Handicap has fourteen nominations,
the most attractive of which appear to be Bel Es-
peranza and Gourd. Could I calculate upon a start
I should be induced to stand Lizzie and Polly
Johnson for the Scurry Plate. For the Nursery,
Contract and Broadbrim are as much entitled to
notice as anything in the race.
The Monmouth Meeting will be too much out of
the way to attract the attention of the " Londoners,"
but it will afford two days' pleasant diversion to the
people of the locality. Chanionesse may win the
Monmouthshire Handicap, Loyalty the Ladies'
Plate. and Table Bay the County Members' Plate.
On Thursday I will refer to the Manchester list
and other matters.

have justified his declaration, but the Hulk was in
the way and divided the two mares. Still it was a
rare slice of fortune for the owner of two animals to
obtain a first and third place in a race like the St.
Leger. The only explanation which can be given
of Toxophilite's defeat must be found in his deficient
staying qualities. Still his success on Friday, and
the defeat of Blanche of Middlebie on the same
day, almost induced some people to believe that
the race for the St. Leger was, after all, a mis-
take. The event, however, brought into notice
young Snowden, a very clever
.jockey, who rode
the winner of the three principal races on the
Wednesday, and it afforded an opportunity to Bar-
tholomew to re-appear in the saddle for the second
time since his disastrous accident at Goodwood in

1856. The " Cup-day" was as successful as the
" St. Leger day," and the triumph of Vedette was
deemed a triumph for all Yorkshire. Never were
fiere such cheering and waving of hats since the
days when Voltigeur defeated Russborough after
the dead heat, and subsequently beat the Flying
Dutchman for the Cup. On Friday the last race
was run in the dark, owing to the difficulty which
the starter experienced in getting the juvenile
Jockeys under proper control. Both were at
loggerheads, but the obstinacy of the boys was
enough to try the patience of Mr. Hibburd, and it
is quite time that the. race authorities endeavour to
establish a better understanding between the
jockeys and the starter.

Lord Melbourne's return to office he was spokesman
of a deputation of members of Parliament, who
stipulated with the Premier for the ballot being
" an open question," and for the concession of the
Penny Postage. t was Mr. Warburton's influence
chiefly with Ministers which placed Mr. Rowland
Hill at the head of the new post-office administra-
tion, by impressing on a new Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer that the public would never believe in the
bona fide working of the measure unless its author
had the first conduct of the change.
Mr. Warburton continued to represent Bridport
in seven successive Parliaments. His last return
was in 1841, when after a close and corrupt contest
he was at the head of the poll. But a petition being
presented against both the sitting members, he sur•
rendered his seat, accepting the Chiltern Hundreds.
An inquiry following in a select committee on "Cor-
rupt Compromises" generally, Mr. Warburton, in a
singular petition, prayed to be examined, revealing,
in his statement to the House, the gross costs and
corruptions of all his six successive returns for
Bridport ! This unprecedented course in a repre-
sentative occasioned much severe comment at
the time, and Conservatives chuckled at the
strange exhibition of a public man thus exposing
himself. But Mr. Warburton, notwithstanding
the remonstrances of friends, persisted in giving
evidence; by himself and his agents, of the
corruption of the freemen electors. Certainly
the cause of purity of election gained, if the Purist
lost credit. He, of course, never regained his old
seat. Years before Mr. Warburton had built, in
Bridport, a Mechanics' Institution, at a cost, we
believe, of £4,000.

INAUGURATION OF THE VERNON
PARK AT STOCKPORT.

STOCKPORT, MONDAY.
To-day this borough has been the scene of great
rejoicings, in consequence of the inauguration of the
Vernon Park, which consists of 18 acres of undu-
lating grounds, skirted on the south-cast and east
sides by the river Mersey. It was given to the
town by Lord Vernon in 1842, for the formation of
a park for the public.
The streets presented at an early hour in the
morning an activity which could not be mistaken
for a general holiday, everybody being dressed in
their Sunday attire. <
The Mayor (Mr. W. Williamson) having some
time ago requested the various benefit societies in
the town to lend him their assistance in keeping
order on this occasion, they at once responced to his
call. The market place was the point selected for
forming a procession of these societies, &c., and
most of them were on the spot before 11 o'clock, not -
withstanding that the procession was not to begin
to move off before 12. The market-place then, be-
ing the grand starting-point, it was the place to
which the great multitude made their way ; and
probably by half-past 11 o'clock, at which time a
troop of the Cheshire Yeomanry Cavalry, under the
command of Captain and Adjutant Hill, arrived,
there were upwards of 20,000 persons assembled
together. The market-place was, of Course, gaily
decorated with flags, banners, &c., &c., and round
about miniature cannon were popping off in every
direction, to the great annoyance of both men and
horses. Precisely at 12, the two cannon, which
have been presented to the borough by the Minister
at War, and which were captured at Sebastopol,
were moved from where they had stood in the
market-place, under the escort of the cavalry. Each
of the guns was mounted with five pensioners be-
longing to the Royal Artillery, under the command
of Sergeant Miller, Then, in order, followed the
benefit societies, the fire-engines, and then the cor-
poration officials, the gentlemen of the borough,
councillors, and aldermen of the borough, the county
and borough magistrates and coroner, Mr. G. C.
Legh, M.P., and Mr. W. Egerton, M.P. for the
county, Mr. J. B. Smith and Mr. Kershaw, the
borough members, the Marquis of Westminster, the
Lord-Lieutenant of the county ; the Right Hon.
Lord de Tabley, Mr. F. Crossley, Mr. H. Vincent,
Sir R. Pendlebuq, the mayor, town clerk, and the
park
committee. From the market-place the proces-
sion moved down Park-street, along. 'Warren-street,
Heaton-lane, and so down Newbridge-lane, to the
park, which is about a mile from the town, and where
the head of the procession arrived in 21 hours from the
time of starting. All along the line of route flags
and banners hung from the windows and roofs of
the houses.; and across several of the principal
streets some tasteful triumphal arches were erected.
The streets were also crowded with people who
were making their way to the park. There was
an ox hung in the park weighing about 60 stones,
which was the gift of the mayor. It was cut up
and distributed to the poor.
The corporate authorities and the invited guests
on entering the park walked round the greater por-
tion of it, and by that means very much prolonged
the tedious proceedings; The mayor, &c., arrived
upon the platform about four o'clock. The Stockport
Choral Society then sung the Old 100th Psalm in
a very effective manner, the vast multitude assem--
bled in the park (about from 10,000 to 15,000)
joining them. This being accomplished, the mayor
stood forward and delivered the address, and at the
conclusion of it pronounced the park opened, amid
great cheering. A signal flag was then hoisted, and
the two Russian guns on the mount in the park
fired a royal salute. The Choral Society now sung
the Hallelujah chorus, after which the united bands
played " God save the Queen."
The formalities in the park were thus concluded,
there being cheers for the Queen, Lord Vernon, the
Mayor of Stockport, &c., &c.
A dinner takes place this evening in the Town-
hall, over which his worship the mayor will preside.
The town is all excitement and bustle, and pro-
bably the number of persons in the streets and in
the park is about 50,000, there being many strangers
in the town.

THE DONCASTER MEETING AND THE
SETTLING.

Although the Grand Stand receipts fell some
£4OO below those of last year, yet a larger assem-
blage of company was never witnessed on Doncas-
ter Town Moor. The racing, too, was most abundant,
and the interest which it excited was sustained
from the first day to the last. Before referring to
the incidetts which marked the sport, it will be
necessary to direct attention to certain details of
the management which were neglected by the
borough authorities, and to a clumsiness in carry-
ing out the arrangements, which was a source of
annoyance to the chief patrons of the meeting, and
which excited the disapprobation of the general
racing public. The Corporation very laudably
endeavoured to prevent the occurrence of those dis-
graceful scenes of riot., for which Doncaster has of
late years become notorious, and which made the
proceedings on the racecourse approximate closely
to those of a bear garden or prize ring. But the
wrong means were adopted. People who pay for
admission to the Grand Stand demand perfect
equality, and'a freedom to range over the building
or enclosure. They do not recognise the principle
of exclusion, and as long as they are willing to pay
their money they do not see why one section of the
community should have the entree to a place which
to them is tabooed ground. The attempt, therefore,
to rail off the Private Stand from the enclosure was
a mistake, as it divided the "ring," and vet.rLd

the business of speculation. Backers and lavers
equally felt the grievance, and the authorities
exercised a wise discretion when on the second

day they removed the obnoxious barrier. Had, they
not done So, it would have been taken down by
main force. If the managers of the racing meeting
wish to keep the enclosure select, they must adopt
a different plan in issuing tickets of admission to
the Stand ; for on Thursday and Friday, weekly
tickets which had cost a guinea were openly
hawked about the streets for a few shillings, and
thus got into the possession of " roughs," and other
disreputable characters. The allowing of a " tap"
for the sale of wines and spirits to be erected in
the weighing room was an egregious mistake, for
as it has been well observed, that apartment
is the last place into which liquors should be intro-
duced. The room should always be kept free from
intruders ; but on this occasion it was to the great
obstruction of business filled with persons who had
no right there, and who used the place merely as a
drinking shop. While on this subject, the exorbi-
tant prices which were charged for refreshments at
the Grand Stand must not be unnoticed. Eighteen-
pence for soda and brandy, and one shilling for a
small plate of sandwiches, were demands to which
even racing men are unaccustomed. The corpora-
tion will do well to direct their attention to this
matter for the future, for a well-regulated refresh-
ment department is a most essential element in the
successful issue of any meeting. The mode of issu-
ing trainers' and jockeys' tickets was also unsatis-
factory, and was productive of much grumbling and
annoyance. The Mayor of Doncaster, Mr. George
Hatfield, exerted himself to counteract any short-
comings which the management displayed, and was
ever solicitous to meet the requirements of the
public. He therefore will adopt expedients to re-
medy the evils of which we have complained. The
work of improvement which he commenced with so
much spirit will, we trust, be carried out during a
second year of his mayoralty. The saddling enclo-
sure must be extended, and it should be devoted
exclusively to trainers, owners of horses, jockeys,
and grooms. It should be railed off below the
weighing stand, in communication with which it
should have a gateway or passage, under the charge
of an efficient person.
Still, although there was much to find fault with
in the management, there was much to admire and
approve in the proceedings. The two-year-old races
were most interesting, although the absence of any
prominent Derby candidate somewhat detracted
from their importance. The handicap events were
productive of brisk speculation, and certain sudden
changes in the Turf Market invested. the St. Leger
with an interest which a few months back it did not
promise to attain. The programme originally con-
tained 33 items, and.of these 30 were run off, the
aggregate number of starters commanded for the
different stakes being two hundred and sixty-
seven. The money added by the corporation, &c.,
amounted to upwards of two. thousand guineas.
The result of one race so depended upon another
that the curiosity and interest of the spectators were
never allowed to flag. Thus the opening event—
The Fitzwilliam Stakes—exercised a material in-
fluence on the St. Leger betting. Knight of Kars
ran Saunterer to a head for it, and he was immedi-
ately afterwards brought with force into the St.
Leger betting, and his performance caused him to
be transferred to Lord Clifden for two thousand
pounds. His owner, it must be confessed, made a
profitable sale, for that sum only was given by
" Mr. S. Williams" for Lord Londesborough's entire
stud, in which the Knight of Kars was included.
Cavendish and Merrpnanr, two Derby colts of re-
pute, were cut down 'by Prelude for the Champagne
Stakes. The winner, the property of Sir Charles
Monck, is trained in private by Sir Charles's stud
groom. In this race were Gladiolus and Crafton,
two animals which have been mentioned with
favour in connection with next year's Derby, but
whose performances do not warrant the entertain-
ing of any.great expectations of their racing career.
The American stud, represented by Prioress, gained
a triumph. The mare won the principal handicap
of the week with the most ridiculous ease, albeit
she was scarcely trusted by her owner, whom, it is
said, she had three times disappointed in her trials.
Her success brought her into a prominent position
in the Cesarewitch betting. North Lincoln--a
reported roarer—won the Glasgow Stakes without
an effort, and whilst it re-established its reputation

According to the betting, the bookmakers gene-
rally would be gainers on the meeting; still, the
satisfactory manner in which the settling was con-
ducted would indicate that the racing would be
harmless to a large majority of speculators. After
a great meeting, especially at the end of the season,
a few persons are generally reported temporarily
hit and missing, but this was not the case yester--
day. The squaring of accounts proceeded with
smoothness, and we heard little grumbling respect-
, ing either the tightness of money or the tardiness
to meet engagements. The " gentlemen" are the
principal lovers on the St. Leger, for many of titiem
through Food and through evil report adhere' to
Toxophtlite, whilst others had.pinned theirjaill, h to
Fitz Roland, whose break-doer .and immettiiite re-
trogression in the betting left them no opportunity
for " getting-out" of their money. Mr. Merry WWI,
it is said, about £15,000, and he would have landed
double that amount had Blanche or Middlebie won.
The usual supporters of his stable—or stables—for
Sunbeam and Blanche of Middlebie are under the
charge of different trainers—also throw in for good
stakes, but their winnings are not so large as they
would have been if their confidence had not been
divided betwesn the two mares.

The business of paying and receiving was con-
ducted almost to the exclusion of speculation. Ea-

THE FATAL FIRE AT GREENWICH-
SUSPICIOUS DISCLOSURES.- •

Yesterday afternoon, :it three o'clock, Mr. C. J.
Carttar, coroner. for West Kent, resumed the in-
quiry at the Globe Tavern, Greenwich, into the
circumstances attending the deaths of Isabella Caro-
line and Eliza Jane, the infant daughters of Mr. R.
Roper, corn chandler, of Royal-hill, Greenwich,
who were destroyed by a fire which consumed the
premises of Mr. Roper early on the morning of
Sunday, the 12th inst. After the examination of
Mr. Charlesly, a gentleman residing at 25, Circus,
Greenwich, who merely proved witnessing the fire,
the coroner and the foreman of the jury somewhat
abruptly left the room, and were absent so long that
the remaining jurymen became very impatient. It
appears that in consequence- of information received
the coroner deemed it necessary to confer privately
with the police authorities an Mr. Hodsoll, of the
Kent Fire-office. On his return,
The first witness called was a young man named
Robert Morris, who stated that he had been in the
service of Mr. Roper about eight months. - This
witness endeavoured to parry the questions put to
him by the coroner, when the latter remarked that
he was in possession of the whole of the informa-
tion he was now seeking to elicit from the witness,
who had better for his own sake speak the truth,
and not endeavour to screen any person. The wit-
ness then deposed that on the Saturday previous to
the fire the shop was well filled with goods, and on
that day he bought a quarter of a load of hay, which
was placed in the shop. On Saturday night wit-
ness met the servant girl in the Circus. She had
something with her, but witness did not see_what
it was. On the Sunday evening after the fire wit-
ness went out for a walk, and was met by two
boung men, named Abbott and Cowell, the latter
eing Mrs. Roper's brother. They told witness
that they had been looking after him, and that if
he was asked any questions he was not to know
anything.
Eliza Waterfall, a young woman in the service of
Mr. Roper, was then urged by the coroner, for her
own sake, to speak the truth, and in reply to
questions she at first denied having removed pro-
perty from the premises previous to the fire. A
relative of the witness, who was present, now
begged of her to speak the truth, and the witness
then gave the following evidence :—On the Satur-
day night before the fire I went to Deptford, by
desire of my master, Mr. Roper. I took a writing
desk to the house of Mrs. Cowell. who is related to
my master. The desk was very heavy, and Mr.
Roper told me to cover it up, and not let the boy
(the previous witness)-know what it was. I recol-
lect a service of china and a dinner service ; they
were removed from Mr. Roper's house to Mrs.
Cowell's two or three days before the fire. A tea
service was also sent to Mrs. Cowell's. I carried
some of those articles, and others were packed in
large square boxes and sent by the previous wit-
ness. The articles were removed constantly from
Mr. Roper's house during a fortnight previous to
the fire. Mr. Roper told witness whilst this was
going on not to say anything to any one about the
removal of the goods.
Mrs. Emily Cook, of Deptford, sister to Mr.
Roper, was then examined, and stated, in reply to
the coroner, that she had remained in the room and
heard a portion of the previous evidence. She then
left the room and went to the house opposite.
The Coroner—Whom did you see there ?
Witness—l saw Mrs. Cowell, and my brother
Mr. Roper, and his wife.
The Coroner—Remember, this is a most im-
portant inquiry, seriously affecting several persons,
and therefore I must ask you what conversation
took place ?
Witness—l have nothing to keep hack. I said
to my brother, " The evidence at the inquest is of
a very unpleasant nature, come and justify your-
self before your good name is lost."
The Coroner—What reply did he make
Witness—l left to return to this room, and he
promised to come, but did not.

QELF-PRESERVATION.—LA Medical Treatise
K-1 on the Functions and Disorders of the Generative System,
and on the cure of Nervous and 'Physical Debility, resulting
from vicious habits acquired during the critical passage from
youth to Manhood, with practical observations on the Phy-
siology of Marriage in its social, moral, and physical rela-
tions. To which are added remarks on the wonders of the

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear-
ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities,
and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth,
degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages
of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to
personsern ta
entertainingho l
modern perusal is particularly recommended
t() doubts of their physical condi-
tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health,
opo stslts
secret
happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en-
titled.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that
there are principles of personal management which cannot be
violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when
wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-
indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the
sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil
and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that
there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply
a cure.

Bv the Coroner--I will swear that none of the
goods were removed to my house.
Other evidence was elicited of a painfully suspi-
cious nature, the details of which, in the present
stage of the proceedings, we are requested not to
make public.

After his political suicide at Bridport Mr. War-
burton remained out of Parliament from the spring
of 1841 till November, 1843. On the death of Mr.
George William Wood, the member for Kendal, the
constituency of that borough in public meeting
selected Mr. Warburton as the most fitting of a
dozen public men presented for their choice. We
believe he was unknown to a single elector. It was
further remarkable that in a prior written statement
of his political sentiments he informed them he
refused to support any extreme extension of suffrage,
or a departmental division of the kingdom into
electoral districts, avowing his unalterable convic-
tion that the town communities were the centre of
Liberalism, and objecting to a mathematical system
of representation founded exclusively on numbers
or property.' Neverthless, and although his rival
candidates bid higher, Mr. Warburton was pre-
ferred. He represented Kendal till the dissolution
of July, 1847, when he was succeeded by Mr. Glyn,
the present member. Mr. Warburton voluntarily
retired from public life at that time, telling his
friends that he was advanced in years ; and that
all the great political questions of his generation
being concluded and successfully carried out, his
ambition was satiated, and that if he continued
longer in Parliament he should be " a fish out of
water."
In this record of an useful practical public man,
we do not mean to rate Mr. Warburton beyond his
true merits, much less to place him in the first class
of :political wranglers. He had no capacity for
the leadership of numbers. It has been written of
him that he could "argue " a question, but not de-
claim upon it. He possessed no popular talents, in
the ordinary sense, he had no imagination, no
powers of eloquence. His speeches were colloquial,
not oratorical. His manner was rather repulsive
than attractive, and he was too apt to be dogmati-
cal if not offensive in controversy. He had no po-
litical toleration, and he could not conceal his con-

DESTRUCTION OF TWO If WALING
SHIPS IN TILE WE.

These serious losses in -.Davis's Straits were made
known on Saturday, at Lloyd's, by their agent at
Lerwick. The vessels were the barque Heroine,
387 tons register, belonging to the Dundee and
Union Whaling Fishing Company ; and the barque
Eclipse, 283 tons, one of the fleet of the Peterhead
and Lerwick Whale and Seal Fishing Company,
and both appeared to have been wrecked at the
same time, the crews, numbering nearly 150 indi-
vidual% experiencing a very narrow escape. Capt.
Simpson, master of the Heroine, in his deposition
before the Admiralty Receiver of Wrecks at Ler-
wick, thus details the loss of his ship :—" We sailed
from Dundee on the 17th of last March, aid suc-
ceeded in reaching Davis's Straits in the following
month, and commenced fishing in May. We caught
one whale, which produced 12 tons ot oil and one
ton of whalebone. On the 13th of July, when in
lat. 75 30, long. 60 30 W., to the southward of the
' centre of the straits, the ice came down fast, and,
finding it closing upon us, we cut a dock in thefaFt
ice for the ship to ride in safety ; but on the fol-
lowing day a large -quantity of drifting ice came
pressing down on the open side of the dock, soon
broke it in, and crushed: on to the vessel, so as to
nip' her in several places, causing her to leak ex-
tensively. The pumps were set to work, but the crew
were unable to keep pace with the leak ; in less than
an hour there was 12ft. of waterin her hold, and soon
after she heeled over on her broadside, and quickly
disappeared. All hands were fortunate in escaping
from the vessel ou to the fast ice just as the vessel
went down. They remained on the ice till the next
day, when they reached several whaling ships, and
thnor wants were provided for. The crew, howtiver,
lost everything they possessed ; there was not even
time to save their clotlies. The loss of the
_Eclipse
took place in lat. 70.30 N., long. 60.30 WT., on 'the
same day (13th July). They had been fishing in
Melville Bay, but were unsuccessful in catching
whales, and were coming down to the south Ward
when the ice broke in upon a dock where the
Eclipse was' secured, and occasioned her almostVm-
mediate destruction. The crew reached the icin
safety, and were picked up by other whaling boats
in 24 hours afterwards. ThelAccrs and crew were
afterwards shipped on; lard the Danish schooner
Neptunas, of Copenhagen, which reached Lerwick
on .MOnday last. • Both ,fhips were fully insured as

THE NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURILIM DISTRICT
BANK.—The official liquidators of this bank have gives
notice to the creditors that they will pay a first instalment of
five shillings in the pound on and after the 7th of October.
They have also announced that they will keep their offer
open until the 28th of September to pay all the creditors
under £lOO a compromise of 15s. in the pound. The larger
proportion of the creditors under £lOO, however, have
already accepted this compromise, and have received their
money.

[ADvEnnsEmENT.] Medicine always aggravates
chronic diseases, such as indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency,
habitual constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver complaints,
&c., but Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food in-
variably cures them in a very short time. We extract a few
out of many thousand expressions of gratitude from in-
valids :—Cure 36,418, Rev. Dr. Minster of cramps, spasms,
and daily vomitings. Cure 26,418, Dr. Harvey, of diar-
rhoea and debility. Cure 89,628, Dr. Wurtzer of consump-
tion. Cure 33,830, William Hunt, Esq., barrister, of para-
lysis. Cure 46,270, Mr. James Roberts, woodmerchant, of
Frimley, of thirty years' diseased lungs, spitting of blood,
liver derangement, partial deafness. Cure 41,610, Berne,
20th August, 1852. Mad. IL de D., suffering in the
lungs, and evidently in a hopeless state of pulmonary con-
sumption, took the Revalenta Arabica under advice of her
physician. So rapid and favourable was the change it
produced in her health, that all her friendswereastonished.
The dangerous period of her confinement, which
her physician had predicted would be fatal, passed
over without danger or difficulty, and her husband
cannot speak too highly of this excellent Food, upon
which both his vi e and child are now living.
