STEAMERS.—On Saturday forenoon last the
t,1,1,7 steamers Her Majesty and the Royal Consort, in-
tts-r",e(l_, for the' Fleetwood and the Ardrossan station,
eu for a trial trip down the Clyde to exhibit theirl
tls`lig and seagoing qualities. After going easily
sriain to Greenock, the ships then con:menet.. f
1:10,,(21. speed, which was kept up until they reached they
4r,.."',unuse on the Little Cumbrae, and declared by
of ennie the time-keeper, to be at a speed of upwards
tens burden
miles' an hour. These vessels are fully 600
ourden, are supplied with engines of 300-horse
,'er, and are similar in every respect in model and
i'lj."ls_rtruction with the exception that the paddle-floats
(:,s-ter Majesty are solid, while those of the Royal
I)",,sort are divided. It was the wish, therefore, of the
Liji,u;'re, Messrs. Tod and 111‘Gregor, to test the capa-
thi-sls of the different paddles, Mr. Tod acting as
fill.— engineer on board the Consort, Mr. M‘Gregor
thlng the same situation on board Her Majesty; and
sr,,, !'isalt is, that the solid float has been found, in point
Ise;sltd, to he superior to the divided one. It is scarcely
t isiu'e to describe the interest and excitement attaching
for°"'e race between these two beautiful steam-vessels;
nearly three miles they were as near as may be
Vets,
and neck :" but Her Majesty, with the solid
ttscis,! gradually shot a-head. The weather was wild
uoisterous and admirably fitted to test the capa-
Nities of the 'boats as seagoing steamers. They are
54,", supplied with tubular boilers, direct self-acting
else& and fitted up with fire compartments; and at
~.;`lnie of the highest speed we are informed by the
tliZ'lteers that the pressure on the boiler was not more
st,:ll six pounds to the square inch. Several of the
Vrebolders, with their wives and families, were on
4trd the ships, and, notwithstanding the perils of the
xviatit and stormy water," there was much hilarity and
t.sii,(l.ltnent. At four o'clock, Captain Wilspn, late R.N.,
the chair in Her Majesty, and Mr. Smith, the
4411a,ger of the Fleetwood station, officiated as croupier.
ra-sverai good speeches were delivered, and amongst
Ir,rlY statements in favour of the iron boats, Mr.
ssu'r,rPgor stated that they were cheaply constructed,
ss,,,u'd not burn, would not take dry-rot, and while they
ttLire built in compartments, would not sink. An agre!-
E Patty also dined, under the presidency of Captain
wing, in the Royal Consort. We look upon the con-
thtr tletion of these boats as adding another triumph to
ship building capabilities of the Clyde.—Glusgow

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS RECEIVED
THIS MORNING.
WEDNESDAY EVENING.—That the list contained
only one race of public interest does not appear to
have excited the slightest regret, the St. Leger
settling, the sale, and the meeting at the club-house
for the purpose f taking into consideration the pro-
priety of limiting future meetings to four days, &c.,
having proved quite sufficient to occupy the greater
part of the day. The settling, we are happy to say,
is admitted by all hands to have been decidedly good;
money, of course, was not over-abundant, and time, as
a consequence, was required in several cases, but no
fears are entertained that the outstanding balances
will shortly be paid up. It has not often been our
fortune to record so pleasant a finale to a race that,
whatever manceuevring may have preceded it, was
evidently run on the square. Mr. Irwin wins
between twelve and thirteen thousand pounds ; Mr.
Forth, two thousand by one account, and by another
three times as much. Colonel Charritie, Mr. Har-
greaves, and some Irish gentlemen, are also good
winners ' • but we do not hear that "the public"
have had any participation in the spoils—The Cure,
Ithuriel, or The Princess, would have suited them
much better. In the losing class we may include
Mr. Collett, most of John Scott's masters, two or
three Noble Lords, and William Scott. Some of the
professionals have also dropped their money, the
profits realised out of The Cure, Scott's horses, and
the outsiders, having been insufficient to cover their
losses against the winners. The Club meeting, at
which the Earl of Glasgow presided, was attended by
the Marquis of Normanby, the Earl of Eglinton,
Earl of Chesterfield, Lord George Bentinck, Hon.
George Anson, Hon. Captain Rous, Mr. Lumley, one
of the Stewards and other influential patrons of the
races. The objects for consideration were—first,
whether any change should be made in the days
which the races are hereafter to come off; and se-
condly, whether, by increasing the prize to the second,
and giving a prize to the third horse, a stronger in •
ducement might not be afforded for larger entries for
the St. Leger, as well as a more certain guarantee
obtained for the appearance of a more extensive field
of horses at the post than in modern times ; for it has
been seen, that ever since the " play or pay" subscrip-
tion was altered to 50 sovs., h ft, the fields have decreased
until they have reached nine, as on Tuesday, thereby
stripping this important race of its most brilliant fea-
ture. With regard to the first proposition, it was
unanimously agreed that, next year, the races should
begin on Tuesday and terminate on Saturday; that
the Great St. Leger should be run for on Wednesday,
the Yorkshire Handicap at a late hour on Thursday,
so as to afford time for the settling, and the Cup on
Friday. This resolution was adopted principally on
the ground that Sunday travelling might be prevented,
and the present plan of keeping open the betting-rooms
on Sunday, avoided. With regard to the second
point, Lord George Bentinck urged the vast im-
portance, in a race like the St. Leger, of secur-
ing a large field of starters, as well as
of encouraging them to run honestly and fairly to the
end, instead of, as in the present day, pulling up
when the chances of becoming first and second were
out. By enlarging the second prize, creating a third
prize, and enabling the fourth to save his stake, there
would be a stronger inducement to competition ; for
if some might abandon the hope of obtaining the first
prize, all might entertain an expectation of getting
sufficiently near to obtain a remuneration for coming
such a distance. His Lordship's proposition was,
therefore, that the second prize should be increased
to 5001., and the third to 2001., while the fourth should
save his stake. In the opinion of Lord Glasgow,
Lord Normanby, Lord Chesterfield, and others, this
would be too large a reduction of the great prize, and
proposed smaller sums. Lord George Bentinck re-
plied that, by thus extending the chances to competi-
tors, all deficiences would be supplied by the increased
number of subscribers to the stake. Finally, it was
agreed, by way of experiment (to commence with the
year 1845), that the second should have 3004, and the
third 1001., instead of saving his stake ; after which
the meeting broke up.
The races did not commence till three o'clock, and
the " Great Yorkshire Handicap" proved unusually
attractive, as well as a source of very extensive spe-
culation. The attendance was certainly far inferior
to that of the preceding day ; nevertheless the com-
pany in the Grand Stand, the ring, and the running-
ground, was numerous and respectable, and fully
equalled anything we have seen in former years (xi
the third day.
CORRAN N A AND FOIG BALLAGIL—The dispute
between Mr. Collett and Mr. Irwin was amicably
arranged this evening, Mr. Collett having agreed to
pay forfeit on the 1,000 sous. in proportion to the odds
that might be expected to be laid on Foig•a-ballagh
had the match been run. Captain Rom, who was re-
quested to fix the price, has named 9to 4. Mr.
Irwin, therefore, will receive about 442/.
