Extract of a letter dated on board his Majesty's
ship Maidstone, Symon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope,
21st May.—" The Owen Glendower sailed from
this on the 13th inst. and was to have looked in at
Table Bay, but a gale from the N.W. blew her some
degrees nearer the South Pole. Lord Amherst got
the Herald round to Table Bay, where she lost an
anchor in the late gales, and the Sir Edward Paget,
Geary, with the Undaunted, sailed a few days
since ; so that we and the Helicon have the Bay to
ourselves. The latter will be ready in less than a
fortnight, and will then be sent on a cruise. The
Commodore talks of going hence in about two
months for the Mauritius. I think it probable we
111aY bring Sir Lowry Cole, to his Government : he
will not quit the Isle of France until his successor
arrives; you know better than we if Sir Charles
Colville has left England. They have abominably
deleterious liquor here, which they call brandy; a
fellow can get roaring drunk on it for 2d. as you may
suppose when I tell you it is only 18d. a gallon, and
You may conceive the difficulty in keeping our men
sober. The contract price of beef is lid. per lb.;
all meet is very cheap excepting pork, which is, I
know not why, 6d. or 7d. Every thing European
is excessively dear.

day, a little before eleven, a yacht appeared off Lyme, with
it blew at the time a moderate gale, with
a deal of broken water along the shore. In approaching
the harbour, she steod too far to leeward, and got among

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

DONCASTER MEETING.

DONCASTER, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

At an early hour this morning the Subscribers began to
assemble at the New Betting Rooms, for the purpose of
settling their engagements on the St. Leger, and the room
was speedily crowded to a degree quite unprecedented.
At the commencement money came in slowly. but towards
the afternoon the circulation became brisker. We should
observe, however, that the aggregate lost on this St. Leger
is considerably smaller than last year; up to the present
time there has been only one defaulter (a little man for a
large amount), and the settling may be called a quiet one.
The first day after the race will not enable us to give any
opinion as to the final settlement ; nor, if it was likely to
be unfavourable, should we think it prudent to compro-
mise the interests of the sporting classes, by stating who
had bolted, or was likely to do so. A few days will suf-
fice to show whether the St. Leger of 1828 will go off
unmarked by those heavy defalcations which last year puz-
zled some of the most wealthy men in the betting ring.
The races to-day did not present many powerful attrac-
tions; for here, as well as at Newmarket, the Wednesday 1
is always a shy day ; the sport, however, was quite as
good as could be expected, and the company numerous and
fashionable, including the Dukes of Devonshire, Richmond,
and Richelieu ; Lords Cleveland, Morpeth, Worcester,
Queensberry, Verulam, Bentinck, Fitzwilliam, Milton,
Kelburne, Hawke, Normanby, &c. &c.
