Col. Anson has called upon the stewards to order an
examination of Foig-a-Ballagh's mouth. Ithuriel is to
be sweated this afternoon ; upon this will depend whe-
ther he will start or not.

(RECEIVED THIS MORNING.)

DONCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, 8 O'CLOCK

Our last quotation of the St. Leger prices was
governed by the betting up to the departure of the
mail for Rotherham. Shortly after, Lord Stanley,
who had been to Pigburn, and had found his horse
dead lame, entered the room, and declared that he
would not start. A notice to that effect was posted in
the room, dated half-past, six o'clock. The meeting
after dinner was as numerous as we ever saw on the
eve of the St. Leger. The room was thronged until
long after midnight; and business, by fits and startf,
was tolerably animated. Large sums were laid out on
The Cure at evens, and it became a very nice thing be-
tween him and the field, several unaccepted offers having
been made at one part of the room to go on, while, at
the same moment, 1,200 to 1,000, 600 to 500, 500 to
400, and other bets at the same rate, were being laid
on the field, we are disposed to think that on the
average of the betting the field always had the call. Red
Deer was backed at 5 to 1, and The Princess at the
same odds and 11 to 2 ; Foig-a-ballagh closed at 5
to 1 ; 6 to 1 in hundreds was laid agst him, about ten
o'clock, by Mr. Collett, with the owner, and the bet
was followed, first by an opinion anything but compli-
mentary to the horse's fitness to run; and afterwards,
by an offer to match Corranna against him for five
hundred or a thousand, to run the St. Leger Course
on Friday, Corranna to give two stone ; and further,
if Mr. Irwin would give him fifty pounds, he stands
to the offer until the following night. After a little
sparring, a pony was given, and the match, should
Mr. Irwin " remain in the vein," will be closed this
evening. Mr. C. also took from the owner 100 to 10
that Foig-a-ballagh would be " absolutely " last, and
laid 50 even that he would be beaten four lengths.
The following were the general prices at midnight:—
Even between the field and The Cure, field for choice,

We are informed by our reporter, that by the
disgraceful carelessness of the mail coach and rail-
road proprietors, two of his parcels have been de-
tained. The first, dispatched from Doncaster on
Saturday, containing the entries, arrivals, &c., for
publication onMonday, was booked at the Masborough
station per mail train, and should have been delivered
on Sunday morning, but did not come to hand till
Monday Land a second, with an account of Monday's
races, for our " Second Edition," was put in the post at
Rotherham by the mail coachman.
