HEATON PARK RACES.

THURSDAY, SEPT. .45.—The influx of visitors within
the last day or two has been very considerable.
The following statement of the running will show that
the promise held out of good sport has not been falsified :
The Stanley Stakes of 10 soya. each .11. F. Half a mile.
Hon. R. Grosvenor's Harlequin, 3 yrs 1
Earl Wilton named Gamecock, aged
lion. E. G. Stanley named Hottentot, 6 yrs 0
Mr. White named Zamiel, 5 yrs
Mr. Yates named Ariel, 4 yrs • 0
Mr. E. G. Honk named b. g. by Marmion 0
Betting.-6 to 4 agst Harlequin, 2to I agst Zamiel,
and 4to 1 agst Ariel. The lot came off in a body, kept
well together, and made a most beautiful sporting race till
they were. considerably within the distance; when Harle-
quin, who was in the last St. Leger, obtained the lead,
and won very cleverly,' rode by the Hon. Mr. Duncombe,
Gamecock by Lord Forester, Zamiel by Mr. White, Ariel
by Mr. Yates, Marmion by Mr. Kent, and Hottentot by
Colonel Russell.

Match for 100 sous. Mile and a quarter-12st. each.
Hon. Mr. Stanley named b. g. by Aladdin 1
Mr. White named br. g. Plutarch
Betting 6 to 4 on Aladdin, who took the lead at a smart
pace, with Plutarch well laid in; for about three quarters
of the distance they kept thus. Aladdin then got to the
top of his speed, his adversary still at his quarters, and
there he kept to the finish, being defeated by a length,
although with much difficulty: Mr. Davis rode the win-
ner, and Mr. White the loser.

The Matilda Gold Cup, given by the Steward, Hon. E.
Petre, added to a Sweepstakes of 15 soya. each ; the
second horse to receive 25 soya. (23 subs.)
Mr. White's Euxton
Lord Wilton's Goshawk, 5 yrs 2
Hon. E. Petre named brother to Hexgrave, aged
Mr. Houldsworth's Ta'ma, 4 yrs
Hon. W. Duncoinbe's Corsair, 4 yrs
Oily two placed. Betting 2to 1 agst Euxton, 3to 1
agst Goshawk, 4to 1 agst Hexgrave, and s—to 1 agst each
of. the others. Brother to Hexgrave set off in front at
strong running, Talwa, Euxton, and the others, well placed
behind. Thus they ran the best part of the ground ; Gos-
hawk then went up, challenged, and got the front, which
he kept to the Grand Stand, looking like a winner. Eux-
ton, however, was in reserve, and here he shot a head to
the astonishment of all, and won in vet), high style by a
length. He was admirably jockied by the owner, Gos-
hawk and Corsair by the owners, Talma by Mr. Davis,
and Brother to Hexgrave by Mr. Kemp.
The Brigade Stakes.
Lord Wilton named Chelsea, aged 1
Mr. Duntze's Cyclops, aged
Mr. Richardson's Tobacconist, 6 yrs 3

There was no betting, and little interest on this race.
The winner rode by 11r. Osborne, Tobacconist by the
owner, and Cyclops by the owner.

The (bona fide) Hack Stakes, of 10 sovs. each. A.F.
Sir R. Brooke named Walnut
Hon. R. Grosvenor's br. m. by Rhadamanthus 2
Hon. C. Stanley's Liverpool 3
This race, like the last, was entirely destitute of interest.
The Heaton Park Stakes of 15 sovs. each. Mile and a

quarter. The winner of the Cup to carry 51b. extra.
Mr. White's Euxton 1
Lord Wilton's Goshawk 2
Hon. R. Grosvenor's Burlador
Even betting on Euxton. Lord Wilton, on Goshawk,
took the lead at a tremendous bat, the others at his heels;
they went as hard as they could split to the Grand Stand,
a- few yards from home, when Euxton got in front, and by
a desperate rush won the race by a head only. Rode by
the owner; it was one of the best run races we ever wit-
nessed at a 'private meeting, and the jeckeyship was re-
markably good. Burlador was rode by Mr. Shafto.

Madame VEsTuts, who is announced to
make her appearance at the Bowery Theatre, in the New
York Paper, is a dancer, and the wife of CHARLES %ESTMS
and sister of Madame DE BEGNIS. It was mentioned in
this Journal, some mouths ago, that CHARLES VESTEIS and
Madame RoNZI VESTEIS had taken their departure for
America.

Miss KELLY, who does not intend to accept
an engagement at either of the Winter Theatres during the
present season, will perform the character of Ophelia, in
the tragedy of Hamlet, for that night only, at Drury-lane
Theatre, next Wednesday.

At our theatre last night, just as Mr. KEAN, I
jun., who appeared in the character of Romeo, was about
to call out to the apothecary to supply him with an extin-
guisher to his woes, the whole of the gas lights suddenly
went out, and left the house in total darkness I Some
boys outside had found out where the stop-cock was
situated, and bad thus exercised their ingenuity, to the no
small dismay of the astonished audience.— Glasgow Chron.
Mr. GREEN, some years ago very popular at
Bath, and Miss FORDE, late of the Haymarket Theatre,
are amongst the engagements at Covent-garden, and will
make their first appearance there on Thursday next, as
Figaro and the Countess Almaviva, in ROSSINI'S opera
of The Barber of Seville. This theatre opens on Wed-
nesday, the Ist of October, with SIIAKSPEARE'S As You
Like It and Peter Wilkins.
.

The English Actors, on returning from their
tour in the departments, will give but two perfor-
mances in the Italian theatre. The first will take place
after to-morrow, Wednesday, the 24th. They will play
Venice Preserved, a tragedy by Oiwny, in five acts.
KEMBLE, ABBOTT, and Miss Sairrtisoti will fill the prin-
cipal characters. The great success of KEMBLE on his
first appearance at the Odeon, aided by the talent of Miss
SMITRSON, and ABBOTT, is the best augury that these per-
formances will have the most brilliant success.—Journal
des Debats.
A York correspondent says, " I have heard
that the Archbishop of YORK withdrew his name from
the Committee, on learning that Miss Paxon had been
engaged. It is not easy to discover the cause, of such a
proceeding, and it may be less easy to justify it if the
cause be that which has been assigned. Whatever it may
have been, I should imagine that the persons who attend
the York Festival will be grievously disappointed if they
should be in future deprived of the gratification of hearing
the first of British female singers in the grandest of British
churches, and this because the Archbishop of Yoaic does
not exactly know whether Miss PATON is married to Lord
Wm. Lan Nox."—..llorning Paper.
MATRIMONY.--A curious circumstance took
place in this town a few days since; an old but gallant
son of Mars, alias a Chelsea Pensioner, prevailed on a
frolicsome milk-maid to join him in the hely bands of ma-
trimony, and accordingly the banns having been duly pub-
lished, they were made one according to the forms of the
es;ablished Church---but lo ! the happiness of the bride-
groom was but of short duration, for they had scarcely re-
turned to his dwelling, when a young and able-bodied
rustic demanded to see the bride—.
Who came blushing to the door, to which he stood near,
He gave " one touch to her hand, and one word in her ear,"
She is won ! they are gone over bank, bush, and scaur,
"They'll have fleet steeds that follow," quoth young PadeenGar.
In truth' she fled with the handsome rustic, and left the
disconsolate pensioner to deplore " the frailty of woman !"
Musing on his misfortune, and indulging in a solitary walk,
on Thursday night, he was surprised by the sudden appear-
pearance of some yonng and numorous neighbours, who,
without any ceremony, seized and hurried him to his home
and locked him in: Reader ! fancy his astonishment—be-
. fore him-stood- his fair and faithles* bride, abandoned only
. a few minutes'before by her- gay but tickle-•-Lothario.--

SPIRIT of the PROVINCIAL jOtitNALS.

i'roin the Cork Southern Reporter of Tuesday.)

BRUNSWICK CLUBS.—litunswitk Clubs are
forming in every part of Ireland. We know WO
well the materials of which they are composed
to attach any hiliortince to their actg; which
may be regarded rather as the eftUsions and sug-,
gettions of a disappointed and fraittie faction,
than of sane aid intelligent persons who hate
any useful object in contetriphitiOn. It would
be very different, indeed, if these Clubs—we
mean Gliibs of a kindred spirit—were to extend
to England. But we haVe lid apprehensions of
the kind ; fOr thotigh a Meeting. has been held
at Maidstone, die county town of Kent, with a
view of establishing a Brunsit ick Chili in that
important county ; and though certain ptelimi-
narrsteps have been taken for the purpose, the
propdsitia is tti be submitted to a county meet-
ing, when the final detertnimition,will be taken.
Now though it is true that at the iniiidotyi (Jr ra-
ther ex-parte meeting which has taken place, and
the proceedings, of which we give at considerable
length; several persons of distinction attended,
many others of still Mote distinction and greater
influence were absent from it t and eveii of those
who were present, some condemned the proceed-
ings as altogether uncalled for, and very mis-
chievous. The Eati of ‘Vinchelsea appears to
have been the originator of the proposition. This
is the very hot-headed young man VVllti during
the late Session of Parliament, within the hear-
ing of the writer of this article, frequently re-
buked the Bench of Bishops, in no very mea-
sured or respectful language, for their want of
due care of the interests of that Church of
which they were supposed to bg the gtiardians,
in not opposing and protesting against the Re-
peal of the Corporation and Test Acts, which
repeal, he maintained; would destroy the Con-
stitution in Church and State, if it were consented
to by their Lordships, The warning voice of the
zealous veer was not attended to, thotigh he was
accustomed to elevate it to such a pitch that even
the Duke of Wellington, whose auricular organs
are considered a little defective, regularly made
signs that he heard him ; it did not appear that
he extended his attention further. Among the
others was an old man of the name of Wells, an
M.P., who talked of fighting up to the knees in
blood, and Sir John Brydges, who, having dis-
covered that the Protestants-of the United King-
dom, were as 14 to 6--(-(for the life of him he
could not make that the proportion was 7 to 3)
—seemed to think that as 14 could hardly fail
to beat 6, the sooner the parties came to blows
the better. Indeed, the meeting altogether was
very warlike, and an explosion might have taken
place amongst such flints and sparks, but that
there happened to be some cool and sensible in-
truders, in the persons of Lord Tevnham, Major
Thwaite, tv.c. who, in some degree, allayed the an-
gry elements that were in motion,and prevented the
formation of a Club, at least as a county mea-
sure, until the project was submitted to a county
meeting. When this takes place, we shall lay
the result before our readers. In the meantime
we may venture to predict that the Brunswickers
will be beaten,
_as the Marquis of Camden, Earl
Darnley, the. Earl of Thanet, Mr. Honeywood,
M.P. for the County, and a great number of
highly distinguished persons, friends to mea-
sures of conciliation, will attend. It is not a
little remarkable that Lord Teynham, who made
so manly and sensible a speech against the pro-
posed formation of the Club, was one. of those
who opposed the Catholic Claims on the last
division in the House of Lords. The change

in his Lordship's opinions, produced by recent
events abroad and at home, shows the convic-
tion that is making way i►► all but the most pas.
sionate minds. We could name some changes
M the minds of other Noble Lords on the same
subject—and so we will speedily. In the mean
time, let the Irish Brunswickers talk as they will
for a moment, the fact that neither Sir George
Hill nor Mr. Dawson would join the Club at
Derry, is prophetic of the downfall of all their
associations.

BRUTAL EXHIBITION IN A PUBLIC.

HOUSE.

On Tuesday, an Inquest was taken before
Jonathan Dunn, Gentleman, Coroner, at the
Goats Head, in the Meadow-plats, on the view
of the body of Charles Allcock. The evidence
adduced was as follows :—Charles Care, butcher,
Coalpit-lane, went to the Ancient Druid, New-
castle-street, about three o'clock on Monday
afternoon ; the deceased was then in the house
with about a dozen others. He offered to eat
four pounds of raw pork, or 40 raw eggs, within
a given time, if any body would pay for them,
but nobody accepted the proposal. He afterwards
offered to eat a pound and half of bullock's liver,
which was also declined. He then said, that he
had eaten a pound of salt at the Hope and
Anchor public-house, and would do the same
again if any one would fetch it for him ; he fixed
no time, and asked for no reward, nor was any
promised to him. One of the persons present
then threw down a halfpenny, saying, " let him
have a half-p'orth if he can eat it." Witness
then got a dish from the servant, and bought
a lump of about a pound weight, at a shop
opposite. The deceased (Allcock) then broke
the salt, and asked for a pint of ale ; different
persons put down a few halfpence to pay for it ;
he mixed the salt with about three parts of the
ale in the dish, and begun to eat the mixture
with a spoon ; when he had eaten about half, he
became sick, and threw up a little. He then
took the dish in hand, and eat the remainder,
after which he-drank the small quantity of ale
which was left. He sat for a minute or two,
when he went out, and was excessively sink—he
recovered, and was again sick, and drank some
warm water. Eating the salt was perfectly vo-
luntary on his part. At eight o'clock
,witness
helped to carry him home. • Thomas Baker,
butcher, Charlotte-street, went to the Ancient
Druid, on Monday afternoon, and saw the de-
ceased there ; he said he had eaten 28 eggs at
Jepson's (the Lion and Unicorn) and he should
like to have 40. He also offered to eat four penny-
worth of mustard, four pennyworth of treacle,
and a quart of small beer, if any one
would pay for them. This witntSs also saw
him eat the salt, which was perfectly VoluntarY
on .his part.—Mary Sale, Ram-yard, was at the
house of Mr. John Merrin,
where the deceased lodged, when the butchers,
.es brought
Care and Baker, the two last witness ,
11111 e o clock
him home. He died about half-past
the next morning.—Mr. Jowett, surgeon, was
the morning,•
called in about eight o'clock in
when he found the' deceased in a dying state,
be was incapable of

dministered to him. After
having any thing. a
