GOODWOOD RACES, AUGUST 16.
Chichester, Wednesday.
The following are a few additional particulars of the
Goodwood Stakes

Changeling made first running, Lucetta and Lucy, with
two or three country nags, immediately behind. On com-
mencing the circuit of the bill Lucetta took up the work,
Shark being now very forward. When the horses had
completed the round of the hill, The Screw had obtained
the ►ead, Changeling second, Lucetta third, and Shark
closely laid up with them : in this order they ran till the
turn for straight running, where Changeling resumed the
lead, which he maintained to the distance, and here Shark,
Lucetta, and Changeling were together, the rest having
nothing to do with the race. About half a distance
ance from home, Shark, who had then a very fair chance
for the race, was observed to stop suddenly ; and, on in-
quiry, it turned out that he had broken his leg. Of course
the struggle now rested between Lucetta and Changeling;
it was amazingly severe, the mare winning by a head,
solely through the physical superiority of her jockey,
Robinson. Changeling was very cleverly ridden by Nat;
Sarpedon, by G. Edward ; The Screw, by S. Mann ;
Shark, by Pavis ; Lucy, by Chapple ; and the others by
lads.

The dead heat for the other sweepstakes was remarkable
for its severity, and for the extreme stoutness of the Duke
of Richmond's colt, Hyder, who made the running, and at
half a distance from home was in evident distress. His
blood, however, was of the right sort ; he struggled nobly,
and, although Olga reserved her effort till within a few
yards, he managed to make a draw of it. Olga was
jockeyed by Conelly, and Hyder by Boyce.
The weather was fine, and the company numerous and
fashiomble.

A melancholy accident occurred last night on the Mid-
hurst road. A gentleman of very large fortune, named
Deannet, resident at that place, was on his return from
the races, driving a spirited horse that bad not been pro-
perly broken into harness; he took fright on descending
Cocking-hill, ran away, and threw out Mr. D., who was
dreadfully injured, and died the same night at half-past
eleven. Mr. Deannet had been more than once cautioned
against driving the horse, who had on more than one oc-
casion evinced a restive disposition. The deceased gentle-
man was highly respected.

A favourite hound, the property of a Protes-
tant juror, who was said to have been favourable to a
conviction at the late trials of the individuals charged with
murder of the police, was entrapped by some of our civi-
lized peasantry, and then was subjected to the horrid
process of flaying ! ! The miscreants after having
skinned the fore-quarters from the neck down, permitted
the mutilated victim to find its way to the habitation of
its master ! ! A few days after the perpetration of the
aboveinhuman act, the gentleman to whom the dog be-
longed received a threatening notice through the post--
office here, couched in language of the most deadly im-
port ; the consequence of which has been, that he has left
this country, and has repaired to England to seek a shelter
from the violence of our ferocious peasantry..—KilAenny

THE MOORS.-SCARCITY OF GROUSE.

(From the Caledonian Mercury.)

For the following interesting communication we are in-
debted to an accomplished friend, who is also an experi.
enced and skilful sportsman :
"MY DEAR SIR,—As you like to instruct your readers
upon most subjects, I write to instruct you as to the actual
state of the game this season, regarding which very er-
roneous reports have been generally circulated. These re-
ports were all received by me cum nota, as I knew, from
past experience, how little reliance they are entitled to ;
but what I have now to state you may depend on as the
report of un temoin occulaire, having in person made the
observation.

" In May last, there was a very heavy fall of snow in
the north, which proved most destructive to the game, be-
cause owing to the open winter, the birds had begun to
hatch early, and were then upon the nest. A few nests
survived this misfortune, but they were very few, and are
now strong and ripe for the sickle ; but with rare exceptions
there was an almost total destruction then. The effect
of this was, that when the storm disappeared, the birds
countinued to sit upon their eggs till instinct informed
them that their cares were futile; when they began to lay a
second tim?, some sooner and some later of course. The
consequence of this is, that at the present moment, with
the exception of a very few full grown covies, the crop of
game is found in all stages, from the hen hatching upon
the nest to the cheeper with black feathers in the tail, the
stage at which they are held to be a lawful prize to the
sportsman. _ _ _

" This year, then, I hold to be the worst for true sports-
man, and the worst for the game, which has occurred for
many a day. An old sportsman will kill none but well-
grown birds, and will not raise his piece against an old
bird, when his experienced eye informs him she is leaving
a young brood dependant on her tender care. To kill in
this case is ruthlessly to extirpate a whole covey ; but with
those who hire a shooting quarter for a season, and with
very young sportsmen, this feeling does not prevail ; so
that although the number of birds killed this year may
not be great, the destruction of game as applicable to
future seasons will be severely felt.
" To one class of sportsmen this will be a jubilee year;
for, to the Cockney, the sports will be prodigious. If
Ponto understands hie vocation he will fill his toaster's
bag without any waste of ammunition ; and his massacre
of the innocents will be no alloy to Tim's enjoyment.
" Though my personal observations have been local, I
think you may hold it to be applicable to Perth and Aber-
deenshire generally. This place is one of great local
celebrity; it was formerly possessed by the late Lot d Kin-
naird, upon a nineteen years' lease, to whom I succeeded
upon a liferent tack. It is bounded by Fellar, the Duke
of Athol's crack shooting lodge, by the Invercauld estate,
and the. grounds of Mar Lodge ; and upon all these muirs
the keepers make the same report. In ordinary years, I
used to kill forty brace between ten o'clock and five with
ease, but this year I would not back myself to kill fifteen
brace.

" Gleulochsie Lodge, Spittal of Glenshee, Aug. 9."

BRISTOL, AUGUST 14.

(7R014 A CORRESPONDEVT.)

I sit down to write you an account of this day's Reforvs
dinner, on Brandon Hill, Bristol, the result of which I am
sorry should afford me as much regret to detail, as you
will feel to read. No doubt you are aware that a nu-
merous body were invited to attend at a public dinner,
raised by subscription, on the aforesaid Brandon Hill ;
that body was to consist, principally, of those who sup-
ported the measure of Reform. But mark you the con-
sequence:—
We, of " The Trades," of which I am one, being of
the Society of Printers, were individually presented with
a ticket of invitation ; from which we were taught to
expect, as well as from hand-bills publicly distributed,
that we should all sit down, and enjoy ourselves with a
plenitude of meat and pudding, and afterwards make the
air resound with a series of warm and loyal toasts. On
arriving at the bill, we found tables. &c. erected for the
accommodation of, 1 should think, nearly ten thousand
persons, and expected to take our seats in order, accord-
ing to our tickets. There was certainly some system
adopted, insomuch that the tables were portioned off, cor-
responding with the letters of the alphabet,—the order of
which the various parties complied with, all bringing their
implements for feeding, such as knives and forks, plates,
&c. ; but as there was ❑o one to arrange agreeably to the
numerical order, in all other respects, we were huddled
together indiscriminately, with scarcely elbow room,
while, in many parts, twenty or thirty feet of table barely
contained an occupant. 'With this aspect of affairs, be-
fore grace was announced, a great part of the animal
substance (laid out upon the tables in several con-
venient pieces) was in progress of dissolution, and
at length there was no restraint to persons stealing
the meat from off our platei, or women carrying it away in
their aprons. As for the beer, after the first supply, it was
only by physical power you could get any more; and in
a short time the casks were seized and surrounded by dis-
orderly ruffians, who, for want of better vessels, were
ready to catch it in their hats, or snatch whatever jugs
came in their way. In the midst of all this confusion,
many of the trades prepared to leave, among which the
printers took an early opportunity; and all thoughts of
pudding and toasting were at an end.
In an hour after, the hill presented a most disorderly
scene—various parties were engaged in hurrying to fights,
while not a table or bench remained standing, which, I
must explain, I believe were taken down by the proprietor,
for their security.
You will perceive from this, that the confusion which
happened was owing materially to the bad management of
the directors ; for if they had acted up to their pre-con-
certed arrangements, or bad provided force to keep the
people off, which, with mere common sense, they might
have anticipated, it would have been comfortable. As it
is, the various trades are now enjoying themselves in their
own way at their societies' houses.

HANGING the BODY of COOK in CHAINS.

(From the Leicester Herald.)

The body, after hanging the usual time, was taken into
the gaol infirmary, and was laid upon a plank, and two
bricks placed under his head, his clothes on, and his head
was shortly after shaved, preparatory to being tarred.
On Saturday afternoon the culprit was put on the gib-
bet, which is 33 feet long, and placed in Saffron-lane,
not far from the Aylestone toll-gate. The body was
dressed in the ,acne clothes that he was hung in, black
coat, black waistcoat, white duck trousers, and a pair of
white Berli❑ gloves. His face was covered with a pitch
plaster, and over it was placed the cap he suffered in.
The irons are strongly fastened, and, in order to prevent
the legs from dropping, two iron shoes are constructed,
and which are fastened to the other iron work. On Sun-
day an immense concourse of spectators lined the road to
the gibbet.
(ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.)
_ .

The following passage (Judges, xix. 29, 30) was cho-
sen by Cook as the one from which he wished the con-
demned sermon to be preached :
" And when he was come into his house, he took a
knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her,
together with her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her
into all the coast of Israel. And it was so that ail that
saw it said, there was no such deed done nor seen from
the day that the children of Israel came up out of the
land of Egypt, unto this day ; consider of it, and speak
your minds."
The father of Cook is a native of Ansty, in this county,
and left that place 35 years ago, to serve as a substitute in
the Leicestershire militia, for the parish of Woodhouse
Eaves, from whence he went to Ireland with the regi-
ment, and there married a female of the sister kingdom,
by whom he had the culprit and several other children.
The grandfather, by the mother's side, was tried for mur-
der during the Irish rebellion. Cook, the murderer, was
born at Ansty. His mother is dead, but his father is
living in this place. He had also several brothers and
sisters residing in the town or neighbourhood. He served
his apprenticeship with the late Mr. Johnson, bookbinder,
in the Wellington-street, to whose business be succeeded
at his master's death, which took place about eighteen
months ago.
It is a remarkable fact, that the seal which is affixed to
the indictment of Cook, for the murder of Mr. Paas, was
engraved by that gentleman, and actually bore his same.
