DONCASTER RACES.
The approaching races will present a scene of unequalled
splendour. The bst horses of the south will be brought into
the most determined competition with their competitors of the
north ; and it will go hard with the former if they do not try
to better their instructions. The Yorkshire blood has been
successful in the south. Perhaps the tables may be turned,
if not by " Ascot," or Epsom, or Newmarket, perhaps by the
winner of the Oaks, the victorious Queen of Trumps. Should
the Queen, in this instance,. continue to reign supreme,
Chester will be delighod beyond measure, Liverpool will be
crazy,.and Manchester stark mad. Preparations are making
at Wentworth-house ,for the reception of the Duchess of Kent
and the Princess Victoria, who intend to honour the races with
their presence.
AQUA TICS.
SCULLERS' WAGER.—In consequence of the fouling match
of Wednesday between Phelps and Kipph.'g, by which Coombe's
and George Campbell were the two first boats, a match has
been got up to discover who is the better ma:l. The match
was made at Avis's, the Bells Tavern, at Putney, the defeat of
the favourite in the last match causing considerable consterna-
tion in the aquatic circles. Phelps is a slashing sculier, and
there is but little doubt that in hard rowing he could. have
beaten any of the men of last Wednesday's match. Kipping's
backers, however, think otherwise, and this great contest will
take place within a fortnight.
PORTSNIOUVI IZEGAT:A.—Arrangements have been made tee
produce a regatta this year, on the same splendid and attrac-
tive scale as heretofore, to which no one in the neighbourhood
can fail liberally !•0 ,subscribe, if they bring to mind the grati-
fication they derivoi from this animating scene on ail former
occasions, and more oarticularly on the last. To the visitors
this amusement has eve been a source of considerable plea-
sure ; and as such shoulu certainly be strongly supported by
the lodging-house keepers, vs;:o are, in fact, the only persons
comparatively benefitted by it. If they entertain a proper
sense of their interest, therefore, tLiey will draw their purse-
strings freely on this occasion. The regatta is fined for the
9th and 10th September.
At a meeting of the Royal Yacht Squadron held- last
week at Cowes, the following were electe'. members :—The
Hon. H,!nry Flower Walker, Ernmcfje scho:.mer, 103 tons ;

THE KEXBY u ItDER.—It has been said, that no
one man could have bee.'' the perpetrator, and that the body
when found gives so:s_eio.nt proof that three, if not
four persons were engaged :n the murder, as the body was
stretched on the ground, wiiYi the arms extended on either
side,
the hands at the same tion being perfectly free from
blood. Morley,
„.ho „pp, ars t o 1:,.! the 'principal in this sad
affair, occupies a good-sized farm in ire-bY Straylane, and the
prisoner Bell is a small freeholder, livin o' in a cottage about a
quarter of-a mile from Morley's. —Lincan Gazette.
TIIE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT 'XIIE WAT-
FORD TUNNEL—On visiting the scene of the I.,:te accident,
late on Thursday, we found that by the unceasing and indefa-
tigable exertions of about forty men for the last month an
opening had been made about forty-six feet by thirty-nine wide,
and the earth excavated to the depth of upwards of eighty
feet. The whole is secured by deals on either Bide, which is
supported by solid logs placed across in thirteen stories, and
strongly bound together by iron rods. The value of the tim-
ber thus employed is said nearly to amount to 1,000/. The
workmen reached the tunnel on Tuesday, and since that time
they have been in the hourly expectation of finding the retrains
of their deceased fellow-labourers ; but as the tunnel is twenty-
five feet from the base it is uncertain as to the prtcise depth at
which the bodies will be found. Some of them are within
i,';yee feet of the bottom, and, therefore, it will be nearly a
week;:efore they can be extricated. Last Saturday pieces of
a water cart,- which was standing at the mouth of the shaft at
the time of the eecident, was discovered. Oa Monday the dog,
belonging to the Men attending the "girt," was dug out ; and
on Wednesday, a.basitZt containing some bread. About neon
on Thursday, a blue coat, belonging either to Evans or Rubenst
was extricated from amidst t::c broken timbers, and perhaps
before this account will be pubiNred its owner's remains may
have been reached by tire miners. On descending the shaft we
found that the brick-work of the tunn!,- adjoining the arch
which the unfortunate suffsrers were engagnd in turning at the
time thov met their deaths, still remained seem!'-' ; the centres
being firm, and in their proper places. Lookieg upwards, a
stranger to the art of man, or one more informed, cannot be
otherwise than struck with astonishment on observing :,,re great
skill displayed in walling round such an immense opening (we
believe), the largest and deepest at this time extant in England.
The cool and deliberate conduct of the labourers tends to givsi
an unusual degree of interest to the scene. In the wood near
the top of the shaft nine coffins and a hearse are kept in readi-
ness to convey the bodies as soon as dug out, to Watford. The
anxiety of the public, and particularly the immediate residents
in the neighbourhood, continues to increase daily, and vast
numbers visit the place. In addition to the horse "gin," four
hand windlasses, or " jack rolls," are continually employ-cc' in
drawing up the earth. We hope to be enabled -next Week to
present our readers with a full account of the", Coroner's
inquest, when, no doubt, some interestnr.lg facts
.rela.pm to
this said affairV4 ill. be .elicited from the ,14.T.:rilt
County Pres:l. •
