The shower during the race for the Buckenham Stakes
on Tuesday was a prelude to several hours of steady,
but not heavy, rain ; it ceased about midnight, but com-
menced anew this morning about six o'clock, and fell
without intermission until near nine ; it is now dry and
mild, but with so tremendous a wind from the north-
west, and so many ominous-looking clouds in the dis-
tance, that a continuance of fine weather for many hours
can scarcely be expected. A meagre, uninteresting day's
sport commenced at half-past one, with a mere shadow
of what was of old a very popular race at Newmarket,
namely—

The St. Leger Stakes of 25 sous. each, h ft, for three yrs
old colts, Bst 71b ; fillies, Bst 41b. D.I. (6 Subs.)

A Board of Admiralty will leave town for Ports-

GALASHIELS AND EDINBURGH RAILWAY.—A nu-
merous and influential meeting of the inhabitants was
held on Friday night in the Assembly-room of the
Bridge Inn, to hear the report of the Committee, and to
learn the nature of the proceedings in which they
had been engaged, which the Committee an •
nounced were of a highly satisfactory nature. Wil-
liam Ilastie, Esq., banker, was unanimously called
to the chair, who read a report of all the proceed-
ings of the Committee connected with the projected
undertaking ; and from it, it appears that an agreement
has been entered into between the original projectors
and the Chairman and Directors of the North British
Railway Company, the latter having agreed to pay all
the expenses already incurred, to obtain a Bill from Par-
liament, to take all the necessary steps, with the least
possible delay, to complete the undertaking. Great
credit is due to the Sub-Committee for bringing the
arrangements to such a successful termination.—Kelso
Chronicle.

A few days since a pike was caught in the moat
of Lpeds Castle, Kent, by the son of its respected owner,
C. W. Martin, Esq., M.P., measuring three feet seven
inches and a half long, 201 inches round, and weighing
25 pounds.
