meus desire that the standing orders of the House
should be suspended, in order that the Bill for its con-
struction may pass into a law this session, this meeting
signs to support a petition on the part of the Directors
of the Company for that purpose."
Lord C.: HAMILTON, M.P., seconded the resolution,
and assured the meeting he would use his best exertions
to bring the project before the House of Commons this
session, in the hope that the standing orders might be
suspended, and for the purpose of showing the people of
Ireland the desire which the promoters of the line had to
carry out their scheme with the least possible delay.
The motion was carried nem. con.

Captain JONES, M.P., said he was ready to do his ut-
most to get the standing orders suspended, and had great
pleasure in moving—" That this meeting, aware that the
object of the standing orders being complied with, is
mainly for the protection of the landowners and othgrs
interested on the line, are of opinion that, after such ex-
ressions of public feeling as those evidenced by the
pAtitions referred to, a petition on the part of the Direc-
tors ought to be immediately presented to the House,
praying for the suspension of the standing orders."
Captain BATESON, M.P., seconded the resolution
which was also carried unanimously.
Colonel RAWDON, M.P., moved the fourth resolution :
—" That a petition on the part of the Directors of the
Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush Railway having been
prepared, and read to the meeting by the solicitor to the
Company, this meeting is of opinion, that the same
should be presented to the Commons House of Parlia-
ment with the shortest possible delay, that the claims of
the Company may 13.3 immediately brought before the
Legislature, for a suspension of the standing orders in
their favour."

Mr. MACDONNELL, of Glanarm Castle, was gratified
at having the opportunity of seconding the resolution.
He had no doubt that the proposed line would prove
most beneficial to the people of the north of Ireland. He
was instructed by the Marquis of Londonderry and the
Earl of Antrim to express their regret at being unable to
attend, and to state that they would give their best
assistance to get the line carried this session.
The resolution was carried unanimously.
Lord ROSSMORE moved the fifth resolution—" That the
several petitions from the local gentry and others in
favour of the Armagh, Coleraine, and Portrush Railway
to the House of Commons, that the standing orders
might be dispensed with this session in its behalf, are
entitled to the greatest weight and consideration, and
prove at once the importance of the line, and necessity
of its early adoption. This meeting is therefore of opi-
nion, that the same should be immediately presented to
the house ; and the proper measures should be adopted
with that view."

Mr CHARLES Fox seconded the resolution, which was
also carried nem. con.

A vote of thanks was then given to the Noble Chair.

SPORTING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUP/.

Sm,—The Newcastle Meeting, one of the largest and best
attended the north of England can boast of, commences on
Monday with a Produce Stakes of 50 soya. each, for three yrs
old, and for which there are seven entries; Midlothian and

the filly by Physician, out of Castaway, look the best on
paper, but as Midlothian is engaged in a better stake the
sane day, I think it is more than doubtful whether he starts
for this or the larger one; if he goes, I should give him the
preference, but if he is reserved for the North Derby, I see
nothing that is likely to beat the Castaway filly, Miss
Whip colt, or the filly by Phoenix second.
Th North Derby Stakes of 25 sow. each, for three yrb
ohi, has seventeen subscribers, and will probably bring seven
to the post, among them Midlothian, Mentor, Collier, and
Extravaganza, whom I expect to see pass the Chair in the
order I have placed them. The Maiden Plate ought to go to
Sittenham or Firemaster.

On Tuesday the Northern Oaks will bring out four or five,
thd pick of which will be Marian Ramsay, and the Cast-
away filly, the former for winner.

The Hunters' Stakes of 10 sous. each, will go to the Bat, or
that queer brute Crikey
Her Majesty's Plate will doubtless go to Mr. Meiklatn with
Trueboy, Inheritress, or Lightning, whichever he may please
to start ; at any rate, this lot, versus the Field, would not be a
bad investment.

The races for Wednesday and Thursday I shall defer saying
anything about until I have received a list of the arrivals and
probable starters, which will be on Tuesday.
The Plate seems destined to become the property of Mr.
Meiklam, but more of that anon.—l am, Sir, yours, &c.,

THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

FATAL OCCURRENCE AT lIUNGERPORD PIER.—
Two LADS DROWNEE.—Wednesday evening, at a late hour, Mr
Bedford, Coroner for Westminster, held an inquest at the Star and
Garter, Green street, Leicester square, on view of the bodies of
John Leary, aged fifteen years, and John Sullivan, aged ten years,
who were drowned in the River Thames, off Hungerford-steps, on
Sunday evening last, under the following extraordinary circum-
stances :—A boy, named Patrick M'Mahon, stated that the witness,
with the deceased boys, and two other lads named Macarthy and
Gintley, were at the river side, near Hungerford-steps, when a
waterman came to the shore, and gave Leary a penny to mind his
boat. Leary and Sullivan immediately got into her, when Gintley
said to Leary, " Now, if you don't give me half that money, I
will drown you." He untied the rope by which the boat
was fastened, and directly afterwards shoved the boat
off, which drifted away. It was rather dark at the time,
and, although witness saw the boat afterwards, there
was no one in it. Ile did not see the deceased fall into the water.
Another boy, named Owen M`Carthy. stated that he was down at
the spot soon afterwards, and he heard Gintley ask two boys, who
were minding a boat, if they had seen the deceased children ; they
replied, no, they had not, and Gintley said, then they must be
gone home. He subsequently, however, said that Gintley bad told
him that he thought they were in the water. A sister of Gintlet
yesterday morning told witness and M`Mahon not to say anythiny
about " Tom," meaning Gintley. The boy Gintley wag
then examined. He flatly contradicted all that the pres
ceding witnesses bad stated. His statemmt was, tha-
M`Mahon had untied the boat, and that witness had first
shoved it out, it came in again, when M`Mahon pushed it
out upwards of twelve yards; it did not return, and Leary
put out a scull but could not row. M`Mahon then asked him to
come home, and they all left together without stopping to see what
had become of deceased. He did not know that any money had
been given to Leary, and did not threaten him. Samuel Matthew,
constable of Hungerford Market, deposed to finding the bodies of
deceased in the mud, near Hungerford-causeway, on the following
morning, about four o'clock. Witness did not think they had been
in a boat at all, but had fallen off one of the barges. No boat could
drift away, and no boat is known to be missing. The Coroner said
it was a most mysterious case, and the jury, upon the contradic-
tory testimony adduced, said it was utterly impossible to say how
the unfortunate occurrence had taken place, and returned an open
verdict of " Found drowned."
