TROTTING MATCH FOR FIFTY POUNDS.—On Tues-
day the trotting match between Mr..lames's bay gelding
and Mr. Martin's black mare, to trot twenty miles in
harness, came off over four miles of ground on Mitcham.
common; the usual conditions and rules of trotting were
to be complied with. In betting the mare was the
favourite, and was backed to a large amount; the horses,
harnessed to match-carts, came up to the starting mark,
and at the signal went away at a smart pace, and per-
formed the first mile in three minutes and thirty-two
seconds, when owing to the noise made by the spectators
riding alongside, the mare became restive, and broke six
times in the first four miles. At the conclusion of ten
miles the gelding was half a mile in advance, and per-
formed the distance in thirty-six minutes; they were
then pulled in and refreshed, and in six minutes resumed
their work. At the eighteenth mile the mare appeared
quite competent to the distance, but the gelding seemed
distressed, and was pulled up. The mare completed the
distance, and won the stakes. The twenty miles was
accomplished in one hour and eighteen minutes.
GREAT FOOT-RACE FOR FORTY POUNDS.—Yes-
terday the long-pending match between East and Turner
came off near the King's Arms, Acton-bottom. Both
men have acquired great celebrity, and the race attracted
upwards of 2,000 spectators. The contesting distance
was twenty miles, and, preliminaries arranged, the men
started, and concluded ten miles nearly together. At
the fourteenth mile East appeared somewhat distressed,
while Turner contested with apparent confidence. At
the eighteenth mile East had recovered, anti Turner was
quite exhausted end relinquished the contest. East con-
cluded the remaining distance and won the match. The
twenty miles were accomplished by the winner in three
hours and twenty five minutes, fair toe and heel walk.
In betting Turner was the favourite, and large sums of
money were transferred on this occasion,
PHYSIOLOGY or TUE PASSIONS. Yesterday the
first of a course of twelve lectures on this interesting
subject was delivered by Dr. Millingen at the Western
Scientific and Literary Institution, 47, Leicester-square.
The first point treated on was the mental faculties and
their powers. Dr. Millingen certainly has had the best
opportunities of observing the human mind, both in a
natural and diseased state, from the fact of his having
bean the resident physician of' the Hanwell Lunatic
Asylum for a considerable period, and he treated the
subject in a masterly manner. Ile inculcated the idea
that the study of the human mind is not a matter of
mere useleSs curiosity, but a study of great utility, and
calculated to be of considerable benefit to society if pro-
perly and impartially followed out. He attributed the
diversity of opinion and inconsistency which is some
times observable in the ancient philosophers to the fact
that they did not attempt to assist each other in the
study, but, by pitting their opinions against each other,
produced angry arguments, while the original questions
were lost sight of ; and also to the fact that many of
them, especially Plato, went upon data incidental to the
superstidon or the age, and, of course, produced fallacious
theories. The lecture was delivered clearly, and almost
entirely free from scientific technicalities, and was en-
livened here and there by anecdotes, which served admi-
rably to illustrate the lecturer's meaning. Tb, atten-
dance
was not very numerous, but was, certainly select.
oRBEUY AT- 14 Aiv SuTH CHAPEL.--Yesterday
morning early, or late on Tuesday night, some thieves
entered Lambeth Chapel, and abstracted all the Commu-
nion Service plate and other valuable property.
