GOODWOOD RACES.—YESTERDAY.
The racing this afternoon, if not so prolific of Pro-
duce and other valuable Stakes as on Tuesday-, lacked
neither quantity nor attraction, and in one event—the
Goodwood Stakes—gave full scope for the talents and-
industry of the book-makers, less so perhaps than usual,
but enough to create excitement, and make it, as a bet-
ting race, the principal feature of the meeting. The
Stewards' Cup, a rich and beautifully exccuted record
of an affecting incident in the life of Prince Llewellyn,
was also the source of a good deal of speculation ; but
from the superior importance of "the Stakes," and the
non -publication of the weights until late on Tuesday
evening, was not touched upon until the numbers of the
respective starters were telegraphed. It brought out a
field worthy of the subject, and of the popular steward.
ship from whence it was derived. The Queen's Plate,
the Cowdray Stakes, the Matches, and an abundance of
heats, served to make another long day of it, and to in-
crease the general regret that such varied and excellent
sport should have been witnessed by a company that,
however fashionable, was deficient in numbers. The
weather, although boisterous, was favourable ; the
ground in good order for running, the time admirably
kept, and the general arrangements on, and in the
neighbourhood of; the course, on the same comprehen-
sive and satisfactory plan as last year. We should men-
tion here that the defective nature of the preparations at
the Fareham station for the conveyince of passengers,
by the special train, caused them to lose two or three
of the races on Tuesday, and were generally and de-
servedly complained of. The racing commenced at half-
past twelve with

The horses were started by Lord George Bentinck,
and got off in the most perfect style imaginable, nothing
that wecould see having the slightest advantage. The
running was made by Physalis, followed by Hashed
Venison, Sir Abstrupus, African, Poison, and several
others, all keeping in perfect order, and without any
change of position for the first half mile; Sir Abstrupus
then took up the lead, and, with African laid up at his
quarters, carried on the running until within half a dis-
tance of home, when his follower closed with him, and,
going right away from their horses, they ran a slashing
race to the chair, Sir Abstrupus winning in the last stride
by a head. Hashed Venison, Pompey, and Poison were
beaten three or four lengths.

CRICKET.

TIIE GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND v. THE

PLAYERS OF ENGLAND.

Tuesday this excellent contest was resumed by M
Pickering and Mr. Kynaston again taking their stations
at the wickets. At the termination of the play on Monday
evening it will be remembered that the score stood
thus :—Players, 130 ; Gentlemen, 80, with seven wickets
down. At the resumption of the game, yesterday, the
betting was against the gentlemen making 120, but the
result, as on many previous occasions, proved how
little imaginary foresight will operate or can be relied
on as approaching to accuracy, when the subject of that
conjecture chances to be the game of cricket. It is
difficult to conceive a more beautiful exhibition of
fine bowling, splendid hitting, and admirable fielding,
than was presented to the lookers-on during the period
that the two gentlemen whose names we have just men-
tioned, and Captain Latour, followed by Mr. Dolignan,
were in ; for whilst with regard to the batting, we had
the graceful and finished hitting of Mr. Pickering, so we
had the fine and powerfully effective style of the Secre-
tary of the Marylebone Club and the cricketer-like
manner of Captain Latour. The first fetched 19,
the second 34, and the third 10, thus with byes 11
and wides 2 making up 128, a total which was two short
only of their gigantic opponents' score. The bowling of
Lillywhite and Hillyer was of the highest character, but
Dean, who went on for a few " overs," was not so suc-
cessful. The fielding, too, was excellent. The betting
was now brought down to even, and although there were
many who still fancied the " professors" for choice, so
were there also those who offered to take the gentlemen.
At length Martingell and Box went to the wicket, Mr. A.
Mynn and Mr. C. Taylor bowling. Mr. W. Mynn, was
unable to go to the " long stop," in consequence of a
severe injury he received at that place on Monday. He
was, however, most ably succeeded by Mr. Campbell.
Up to the dinner hour the game went much in favour of
the Gentlemen, but during that hour a very large quan-
tity of rain fell, which had the effect of rendering•it ex-
tremely difficult for the bowlers to deliver their balls at
the wickets, whilst those in the field could scarcely
maintain a footing with sufficient firmness to cover a
ball when hit a little wide of them. Two of the players'
wickets, Box and Martingell, were got rid of for 9 runs,
three for 22, four for 42, including those of Bushby and
Pilch. But at this point Wenman's fine and steady play,
and Guy's beautiful forward style of execution, after-
wards backed by the rain, arrested the apparent certain
rapid defeat of their party. They, however, made 48
between them. Dorrington was unfortunate in running
out after having obtained only 4 runs. When time was
called Sewell and Deitu were hitting away in good style,
the former having added 13, and the latter 17 to the
general score.

• MAGAZINE DAY.
BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINZ.
The subject of our disastrous .campaignn is
" Affghanistan" is ably treated in the Number before
us, but notwithstanding the writer's assertion to the
contrary, it is a subject completely exbansted, and on
which the public has long since made up its mind.
As for interest, whatever it might liave poSsessea
when the matter was, fresh in popular recollection,
-little-or none now-attaches to it. -It has been a_Dine
days' wonder, and like other themes of moment, has
passed to the tomb of the Capulets, only to be disin:
terred by some future Uibbon or Robertson-6.V°
should ever again rise among us—when discussing the
politics of the memorable year 1840. Still, despite
this drawback, the article on " Affghanistan" is worth
reading, and, considering the decided politics; °(
Blackwood, is remarkably moderate in its tone. The
writer avers that it was our fear' of Russian intrigue
that originated the humiliating campaigns in clues"
tion, and this opinion is a correct one: So intense
were our apprehehsions on this subject, that we sacrli
fired to them a fine army of upwards often thous?

Indian territories had thrown us all into- such strung
hysterics, was actually a resident in our inetroPnlis/

many fourpenny pieces! The whole h6tory of 015

Our readers will no doubt thank us for giving them
the opportunity of admiring some pathetic lines en-

We have been much pleased with the story of thel
" Love Chase," whose incidents, though somevlo
deficient in novelty, are skilfully worked up In
arch and sprightly style that at once conciliates the b
reader. The " Historical Account of the Canal wine

the details are prolix, and will have little interest

of, Horace Twiss's " Life of Lord Eldon,". we ilea
informed that an old Manx smuggler was plea.%
with his Lordship for pleading in court for certal
rights to which the inhabitants of the Isle of Map
asserted that they were entitled, that, in the warm* l
of his admiration, he actually offered the future Chn
cellor---then but a rising young barrister on cirnorpa
his favourite daughter, with a portion of one hunure
thousand pounds ! The offer was a tempting °nci
but we apprehend it would not exactly have suiteof
the views of a lawyer to become the son-in-ladoe
a smuggler, whose wealth had been gained by set irg
the laws at defiance. Besides, his Lordship
already provided with a spouse, and no doubt fnulij
that one wife at a time was quite as much as he col 0
conveniently manage, and that two would have befo;
a superfluous luxury. We subjoin a few divertws
anecdotes from the review in question : prf
