cleverly; Officious had to succunall (for the first time) to
Mildew for the Gold Vase; my fancy, Ghillie
Callum, broke down within the distance, but notwith-
standing, on three legs, managed to get the•second place
to the Concertina colt for the Ascot Derby; Cora
walked over for the Produce Stakes; the Brother to
Drakelow beat. Ginevra' and Olympian for the Fifty
Sovs. Stakes; Osterley, my first choice for the First
Ascot Triennial, having bit his leg, did not start; Vati-
can, Elthiron, Mounseer, and Repletion, however, passed
Mr. Clarke') eye in the order I placed them; Miserrima,
one of my selected " first flight" for the Second Tri-
ennial, won very easily from Mr. Merryman and Cnreus
The four pounds between Wanota and Vampyre just
turned the scale in favour of the former for the Ascot
Stakes ; and the - Countess, receiving weight for hex
(51bs.) from all her competitors, won the Welcome
Stakes cleverly. So much for yesterday's sports; now
for to-morrow's.

MR. SMITH, OF DEANSTON.—We are sorry to have
to' announce the sudden death of Mr. James Smith, of Dean-
ston, the eminent agriculturist. He was found dead in bed
on Monday last, at the house of his cousin, Mr. Buchanan,
Catrine, Ayrshire. Perhaps in our day there is no man to
whota agriculture owes so much. Ho was acknowledged by
all agriculturists to have been the inventor and chief pro•
moter of the modern system of thorough drainage—that is,
the drainage through the land by pipe drains, instead of over
the land by surface drains. He had been engaged in the di-
rection of extensive works of land drainage. He had acted
as one of the Commissioners for inquiring into the means of
improving the health of towns, and had pursued that subject
with so much energy that his health suffered from it. Lat-
terly he had been engaged as one of the superintending in-
spectors of the General Board of Health, by whom his exer-
tions were more specially directed. to the application of the
sewage water and refuse of towns to agricultural production.
He was a man noted for his fertility of invention, and a very
high order of ability. He was personally highly esteemed by
those who served under him, as well as by those who served
with him, by whom he will be greatly lamented.
DEATH' of Six GBORGE TALBOT, BART.-.--ThiN
respected baronet died on the 10th inst., at his house in
Grosvenor-square. The deceased was second son of Sir
Charles Henry Talbot, the second baronet, and succeeded his
brother in 1812. He married some years since the daughter
of the Rev. Thomas Preston, of Smarston. This family is a
branch of the.noble houses of Talbot and Shr.ewsburv. The
first Baronet's grandfather was successivelyislitshop of Oxford,
Salisbury', and Durham; his fatherwas a j_r-Geeeral
in
the British army, and his uncle was Lord
,High
Chancel-
lor of England. From the latter Earl Talbot directly
descended.
[Apv.EnTISEMBNT.] —The now Tooth-pick Tooth-
brush, thoroughly cleansing between the teeth, when used
up and down, and polishing the surface when used crossways,
the hair warranted never to come out; in four
medium, No. 4,
stren gths—
viz., No. 1, hard, No. 2, less hard, SO. 3,
soft. The double anti-pressure nail-brush, which does not
divide the quick from the nails. The triple hair-brush, which
thoroughly searches and cleanses the hair in one-fourth part
of the time of any other method, and acts as both comb and
brush combined. The medium shaving-brush, being a se-
lection of the strongest badgers' hair, so well secured in the
socket as never to come loose. And, though last not least.
the newly invented" Renovator" clothes brush, which make
an old coat look like a new one, and a new coat to look new
double the usual time. Invented and made only by Ross and
Sons, 119 and 120; Bishopsgate-street, London.
LANDING AN ELEPHANT.—The Trafalgar, East
Indiaman, landed on Monday last, in the East India Dock,
a remarki.bly beautiful specimen of the above animal, which
has been purchased for the Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens,
and (out of compliment to the hero after whose achievement
th. ship was woad) chribttind kjelaop.
