(vaost ova OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
(Continued from The Sun of Sept. 15.)
The Doncaster meeting commences to.morrow with a programme
of sport that must gladden the heart of every Yorkshireman and
every turfite. accordance with my promise, I proceed to state
upon paper my reasons for naming the probable winners of the va.
rious races. ;

tor the Champagne I 'elected Mr. Ramsay's Malcolm, from
the superiority of his running at York and the strength of tit
stable. My other fancy, Princess Alice, I chose merely from her
improved form at Goodwood.

In the 300 Soya. Sweepstakes I thought Lord George Bentinck's
filly would be found the best, from seeing that she was on her road,
and from an idea that his Lordship would not take the trouble to
send her unless he deemed her good enough to win.
In the match between Semiscria and Nottingham I stood on the
former because her running at Goodwood showed a marked im.
provement in her form.

In the exciting St. Leger I selected Mentor, from his public run.
ning being so good, from the stable being in such strong force this
season, from the opportunities enjoyed by his party of ascertaining
his merits, and the weight of money put upon him by those whose
judgment in racing cannot be disputed for an instant. Weather-
bit I would not have, from an impression that he will not have got
over his trying race for the Goodwood Cup, in which he ought,
had he been good enough, to have won the St. Leger; he should have
beaten a mare somewhat stale from running over so trying a eourse
the previous day. Miss Sarah I declined having from thinking her
victory by no means of that importance that others attached to it,
seeing Miss Elis's good qualities hail been nearly all taken out of her
by her previous doings. Annandale's running at York already dis-
plays Old England's pretensions; that he will obtain a forward po..
sition in the race, I have not the least doubt. His being started
at Salisbury was by no means encouraging to his backers for this
race, inasmuch as it looked as if his owner was determined to get
as much out of him as he could while sound. The Baron and
Ould Ireland will run respectably, and perhaps remunerate those
parties who have drawn them in sweeps, by putting into their
pockets the third prize. The Welsh horse Pantasa will struggle ors
well, but I think his forte more gameness than speed.
In the Cleveland Handicap I named Mr. Meiklam's Godfrey,
from the manner in which he fulfilled my prediction respecting him
at York.

In the Municipal Stakes, the way in which I saw Arkwright
finish his race at Goodwood caused me to name him as the probable
winner.

In the Foal Stakes my reasons for preferring Midlothian are un.
necessary to mention.

For the Great Yorkshire Handicap I preferred Glossy, from a
confident belief in her superiority to the rest of the field. My
Mary ought to run respectably.

Midlothian's doings in public made me pick him for the winner
of the Scarborough.

The same reasons led me to fix upon Mentor"or Ould Ireland
for the Gascoync, and Princess Alice or Freelance for the Two-yrs.
old Stakes.

The result of the St. Leger will determine in a great measure, the
Park-hill Stakes, and one of the Misses I think will no doubt win it.
In the two matches that fellow, I preferred the owners of Lord
Harry and Pitsallen to those of their antagonists.
Sept. 15. TELEGRAPH.

BASINGSTOKE.—On Wednesday James Shackle-
font, a youth of 14 years of age, was brought before Messrs. Syre-
monds and Cottle, magistrates for Basingstoke, at the Borough-
court, on a summons granted upon the information of Mr. Dalby,
the superintendent of police on the South-Western Railway, to
answer to the charge of throwing a stone at a railway train while
in motion on that Company's line. John Bailey, a servant in the
Company's employment, deposed that on the morning of the 6th
inst.,:sts the down slow train was proceeding under the Reading-road-
bridge, a stone was flung with considerable force from the top of
the bridge, which struck the carriage between two passengers, an
bounded off to a considerable distance. Witness at the moment
looked to the bridge, and saw the defendant on the parapet and
looking over. The train stopped immediately, and witness went in
pursuit of the defendant, and secured him after a smart ehace.
The defendant did not deny throwing the stone, but said it was not
larger than a walnut, and expressed much sorrow for what he had
done. Bailey, the witness, remarked that the stone thrown was
much larger than described by the accused. The magistrate com-
mented in 'severe terms upon the extreme danger and enormity of
the offence, and convicted the defendant in the penalty of 105.,
together with 108. costs, or in default of payment to 14 days' Im-
prisonment. The uncle of the youth paid the penalty and costs.
THE WEATIIER.—A sudden change has taken
place in the weather. From an early hour this morning, with the
change in the moon (first quarter) rain set in, and has

THE WHIRLWIND AT ROUEN.—We have already
stated that the owners of the property destroyed near Rouen, by
the whirlwind of the 19th ult., have brought an action for In-
demnity against the insurance companies, on the ground of the
calamity having been occasioned by electricity, in which case it is
contended that the companies are liable, the policies bearing the
following words ;--." The company insures against fire, and against
the fire of heaven, and the damage which may result." Strong:
evidence of the presence of electricity, which is the fire of heaven
alluded to in the policies, has already been offered, but the coin.
panies contend that the losses of the insurers were the result of a
storm of wind, and not of lightning. This is the point to be de-
cided by the Tribunal; but, in the meantime, it may not be unin-
teresting to allude to a suit by theowners of the property destroyed
in a similar way at Cette, on the '2.3d of October last. The question
having been brought before the Tribunal of Commerce of Mont-
pelier on the 10th of December, the Tribunal ordered that a com-
mission of scientific men should be formed, to report as to whether
electricity was present in such a way as to give the assured the-
benefit of the clause in their policies respecting " the fire cif
heaven." The report has been drawn up, and sent to the Tribunal.,
but it has not yet been read.—Rouen paper.
JENNY LIND.—A German paper states that tb is
celebrated vocalist, who has created such a furore in various
parts of Germany, made her debiit at Cologne on the 56•Oth
ult, in the opera of Norma. Notwithstanding the prices of
' admission were trebled, the theatre was filled to overflowing.
The fair cancatrice was called before the curtain, and applauded
, to the echo, at the termination of each act of the opera. Tb e
greater portion of the enthusiastic audience consisted of Englis
many of whom have signified their intention of following Jer
Lind from place to place. She is to appear next at Frankfo rt
