TUESDAY'S RIDDLESNVORTH.

The importance attached to this race renders a few additional
particulars necessary. Free Will took the lead at a steady, but not
by any means severe, pace, with Ibrahim and Felix in close at-
tendance ; at the end of the T.Y.C. the latter had evidently
done his best, and the race was left to the other two, the Dulcinea
filly having given up after running a quarter of a mile. Ibrahim
was now nearly a length behind Free Will, and appeared to have so
little relish for the hill that the fielders were on the qui vive, and
" Willie 'o," was the cry amongst those who had been venturesome
enough to take the odds. On making the dip, however, he out-
strided his opponent, and won by two lengths, Felix coming in half
a length behind Free Will. sto 1 were taken about Ibrahim for
the Derby before the race, and 7 to 1 offered against him five mi_
nutes after.

THE OATLANDS.

Datum made play at a good pace to the Ab. M. bottom, where
she fell astern. The north country mare took up the running, and,
with Paris and Famine at her heels, carried it on till about half a
distance from the winning chair, when Paris collared her ; a severe
race between them ended in favour of the mare by a neck. Had
Paris kept straight we are inclined to think he would have won.
Famine and the other were beaten off. _ _ .

The other races do not call for further remarks beyond those given
in our account from the Heath.

'SUDDEN DEATII.—On Tuesday last, H. John-
stone, Esq., of the Royal Navy, and brother to the Member for
this County, visited the premises of Mr. Robert Watt, iron-
monger, for the purpose of making purchases for his establish-
ment at Hook. After inspecting register stoves, &c., in the
upper rooms, he descended to the warehouse, and had just
marked and taken the dimensions of a boiler, when he became
suddenly unwell, and seemed in the act of falling. After
heaving a few groans he died within a few minutes from the
time his position became unsteady.—Dumfries Courier.
NATIONAL PREJUDICES.—TraveIIers do not suffi-
ciently analyse their surprise at the novelties they see, and
they often proclaim that to be a difference in the several cha-
racters of nations, which is but a difference in their manner.
One of the oldest illustrations of national prejudice is to be
found in Herodotus. The Greeks in the habit of burning
their parents, were wonderfully indignant at the barbarity of
the Calatti, who are accustomed to eat them. The Persian
King summoned the Calatti before him, in the presence of the
Greeks. " You eat your fathers and mothers—a most ex-
cellent practice—pray for what sum will you burn them ?"
The Calatti were exceedingly disgusted at the question.
Burn their parents 1 They uttered yells of horror at so in-
human a suggestion. The Calattians and the Greeks ex-
pressed filial affection in an equal degree, but the man who
made a dinner of his father would- have considered it the
height of atrocity to have made a bonfire of him .
INCENDIARY FIRE IN WALES.—About a month
ago we inserted an account of a destructive fire at Maesyfelin,
in the parish of Troedyraur, Cardiganshire ; and it is now our
painful duty to state, that on Sunday evening se'nnight, be-
tween seven and eight o'clock, when all the family were at-
tending divine service in a neighbouring chapel, the mansion
of Maesyfelin was discovered to be on fire. An alarm was
instantly given at the chapel, and the whole congregation was
soon on the spot, but the fire raged with such fury, that the
entire building was soon reduced to a heap of rubbish, and
every thing was consumed except a few articles of furniture
which were rescued from the lower rooms. The fire orginated
in an empty room upstairs, where there had been no fire for
the last twelve months, which leaves no doubt of its being the
work of an incendiary, as well as the previous fire in the out-
buildings. It is believed that about a week previous to this
event an attempt was made to set the premises on fire, as a
lighted turf and some combustibles were found near the knits's..
We sincerely hope that the perpetrators of such fiendish acts
will speedily be brought to justice, and meet with that condign
punishment which they so richly merit. . --
