The only horses in any force for the St. Leger were NUN
Sarah, Mentor, The Pacha, and Duc-an-Durras ; the am ant
invested on them was considerable, and the odds takers the
same that are indicated in the subjoined quotation, eaceptin
the case of Duc-an-Durras, against whom several bets ere
laid at 22 and 25 to 1. Weatherbit was again on the decree,
and a strong feeling was displayed against The Merry 3 lo-
narch, Old England, The Baron, Ould Ireland, and Con-
naught Ranger. Red Robin and Pantasa were backed, but
with small parties. The market prices, at the close tf a
dullish afternoon, were as under :

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,— Warwick meeting commences to-morrow A ice,
a Trial Stakes, the winner of which, I think, will come,f
out of Dawson's stable.
The Produce Stakes will have about three startelip:
viz., Carissima, Gwalior, and Wedding Day ; the latt
I consider, stands but little chance to beat either Car a—•
sima or Gwalior, whom the race will lay between
fancy that the former will just manage to pull throng t.
The Leamington Stakes will bring to the post ab
seven, which I understand, upon good authority just
ceived from Warwick, will be the following; viz., Roebu,
Pythia, Nottingham, Trueboy, Jack Sheppard, Roder, clc,
and Rochester. Glo-isy, Wee Pet and Lightning to
very doubtful, together with one or two others of I in
note, who are in the vicinity. Roebuck, Jack Sheppa mll4
and Rochester, I cannot think, have the slightest char ce..,
Wee Pet cut but a queer figure the other day at;
Egham ; Lightning I believe has not quite recove..edr
from the ailment he had last week, otherwise I think
he would have been very forward. Nottingham wilt
finish near the front. Glossy has too much weight won:
her, but I should not be surprised if she were to pull.
through, should Sir C. Monck, instead of keeping
for the Great Yorkshire Handicap, start her for t deo'
stake; but, in my opinion, the struggle will be betw• en
Roderick, Trueboy, and Pythia, with either Roder eIC
or Trueboy for winner.
On Wednesday the Foal Stakes to Mr. Hill, Prine ear
Olga being very handy.
The 10 Sovs. Stakes to Cherry Bounce.
The Warwick Cup to Alice Hawthorn. -
The Stand Stakes to Marian Ramsay, Mr. Meik:
furnishing the second horse.
The Queen's Plate to rAuld Mare.
There are 26 acceptances for the Great Yorks) IN
Handicap, out of which my pick would be, Glossy, dthi
6st 111 b ; Queen Mab, with only Bst 71b ; Miss
with the great weight of 7st 41b ; The Shadow, Set '3lb
and Jenny Wren, with sst 91b.
The Acceptances for the Cleveland Handica ire but
thirteen in number. The Knight of the Whistle and
Hope seem to be the only two that are likely to wilt
this Stake. I am, Sir, yours, &e ,

Monday Morning.

CHELSEA REGATTA.
The watermen at Chelsea yesterday contended fur a purse of
sovereigns, liberally subscribed by the residents of St. Luke's.
The race is invariably well attended, but on this occasion ti era
was another very attractive exhibition in the shape of a bal. VIZ
ascent, and thousands of persons had assembled on Batter es—
bridge and the banks of the Thames to witness the two events. as
boat-race was in three heats, with six pairs of oars, and, rom
the length of the course, afforded the multitude an exce. test
opportunity of viewing the aquatic display.

FIRST HEAT.
Charles Cole, jun., and William Cole, yellow 1
Henry Gayleard and Edward Coates, pink 2
William Woodford and John Thomas, green 3
The start was from buoys off the Swaa, round a boat oft
Cremorne House, down the Middlesex shore, round a boat op-
posite the White llouse, and back to the Cricketers. The whop
went away together at a good pace, and continued oar and par
nearly to the distance-boat, where Yellow first rounded, re-
tained the lead, and won by three lengths. It was a most et•
cellent contest for the second place, the third man Lein b) the
conditions out of the heat, and. Pink succeeded in getting it by
four lengths.

SECOND HEAT.
'I homas Southam and James Thomas, blue 1
James White and Edward Atkins, scarlet
James Woodford and George Brown, red ' ••• 3
The winners took the lead and kept it, coming in fire lengths
in advance of the second boat.

BRAND HEAT.
Charles Cole and William Cole 1
- •
Southam and Thomas 2
White and Atkins . .
The distance was revers 6, the men begiosing at Battersea..
bridge and rowing dov:nward. The balloon and the rowers
started at the same in'Aant, and the applause bestowed CU both
was considerable. rche wagermen kept oar and oar down to the
college, and the bal:ioon took " its own course" in another di—
rection. The roles went away with the lead, and won b,
eight lengths.

GREPiT RUNNING MATCH FOR FIFTY POUNDS......
Yesterday the quarter of a mile race between John Smith, the
London champion, and Chas. Jenkinson, the " London St tg,"
came oft near the King's Arms, Acton-bottom. Both men have
acquired considerable notoriety as pedestrians ; the former wags
c‘-,
nsidered unrivalled in a .00 yards race, and the latter ua.
equall din half-mile sprints ; and the backers of the respeilives
men conceited to a match to run an intermediate distance.
stakes were .5/. a side, and Smith was the favourite in bis!ting.
at 6to 5, and a very considerable sum was pending the. result.
After several false starts the men bounded away. Smith toot
the lead, but his opponent made a struggle and came, up to hire.
'They then ran together at locomotive speed, and, after
admirable and well-contested race, JenkinsoA mere in the
winner by three-quarters of a yard. The di-,,tance was covered

RIOT AT UNIERAILINE.—Since the

sprecognitiontan ejs b sheriff-substitute efore the , have undergone
eriff-substitute here. Most el

cis but a few, under more suspicious
have been remanded fur further examinations
S'Ve have tint yet, however, heard of anything that has trap.
spired `,o throw much light on the origin of the affair. The
drum that was beat on the occasion was stolen from the grins-
mi'r of the Dunfermline Instrumental Rand on the prtcioup
evening. We understand that, previous to the 13th lust: et, to
committee of operatives held several meetings with the n
snn-
faclurers, in order that the latter might remonstrate witty the
Messrs. Alexander on the consequences of not adhering to the
table of pric,s, and that the manufacturers refused to int. efere
in the matter. The reckless band then took the affair into
their own hand, and the first remonstrance with these g atle.
men was the demolition of their property. The numbers con.
cerned in the riot, as stated in some accounts, have been g eatly
exaggerated. There was indeed a very general tucl.out
during the riot—many from curiosity, to learn what was going
on : but those who were officially on the spot think the rioter*
did not number more than from 800 to 1,00(3% —Desds•
Warder.

THE FIRST or SRPTEMBER.—Yesterday Inai y of
our friends of the barrel were up and doing in various parts asi
this county, and we understand they found an average 'luau..
tity of birds, with the sporting qualities of wild and stro, on
the wing. Of course the shooting was not general, as many
are too busy in the harvest ; the birds find too ready a dugs
in the fields of standing corn, and we must caution the harms
vestmen within reach of cockney barrels, to mind that they are
not made game of. In Kent we learn there was a prettl
general agreement to suspend the sport for fifteen days to allow
of the harvett being more genet;ully ingathcred. —Essex Hera*
