GREAT ST. LEGER.

irgrave and Perion continue the favourites ; Nicotris
is at 10 to 1, and Julius and Ludlow have been backed at
10 and 11 to 1 ; Retainer, notwithstanding his defeat, ii
quoted as low as 12 to 1.

We hear the son of a Noble Lord (not yet
named) was proposed at the Conservative Club as a Col-
league for the Right Hon. Join; CHARLES HERRIES in the
representation of the borough of Harwich, in opposition
to the Radicals of that place. We hope the Reformers of
Harwich possess too much good sense and fortitude not
to prevent the return of men so completely opposed t) the
interests of their town.

Every Elector in the Empire should purchase

Sir WALTER SCOTT continues greatly af-

apparently neither advancing ner retrograding.— Scotsman

We learn that Mr. Serjeant SPANKIE is
about to be created a King's Serjeant.
Mr. JOY, the Barrister, has just been ap-
pointed King's Counsel, and will be presented at the Levee
to day. Mr., JOT, we understand, for many years was
honoured with the friendship of the late Mr. CANNING.
We have seen a very ingenious specimen of
various styles of penmanship, accompanied with little ex-
planatory prints, entitled " On the advantages of Punctu-
ality." It is published by EFFINGHAM WILSON.
VAUXHALL GARDENS.—There was a bril-
liant fete at these gardens on Monday evening, in honour
of her Mt./ewer's birthday. The illuminations were ex-
tremely splendid. A great deal of admiration was justly
excited by a beautiful device of a crown, and the word
" ADILAIDE" displayed in variously-coloured lamps, and
surrounded by laurel wreaths. The effect of this orna-
mental illumination was magnificent. The fireworks
were the most splendid of the season, and afforded the
utmost satisfaction to the company, which was numerous
and respectable. The eclat of the entertainments was
greatly heightened by the favourable state of the weather.
The shooters on the moors, who commenced
their operations on Monday, complain bitterly of the ex-
cessive heat of the weather ; and so do those who have re-
ceived the grouse in a half-putrid state.
Nothing can exceed the timely genial nature
of the rain which has fallen since the harvest commenced;
having been just sufficient to promote vegetation, without,
in the slightest degree, injuring, or even impeding, the
gathering of the crops.
