The Doncaster meeting commences to-morrow with a programme
of sport that must gladden the heart of every Yorkshireman and
every Witte. In accordance with my promise, I proceed to state•
upon paper my reasons for naming the probable winners of the va-
:isms roast.

For the Champagne I selected Mr. Ramsay's Malcolm, from
the superiority of his running at York and the strength of th
stable. My other fancy, Princess Alice, I- chose merely from her
improved form at Goodwood.
In the 300 Sovs. Sweepstakes I thought Lord George Bentinek'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 Semiseria 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 selected Mentorsfromhis. public run.

victottlitlitilit*itlf, 1114' attached to it,
seeing Miit Xlis'a goiid.gitiliti s": VOA nearly alltaken out of her
by her previous doings. Annandale's running at York already dis-
plays Old England's pretensions ; that be will obtain le 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 determihed 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 /weeps, by, putting into their
pockets the third prise. The Welsh bores Pantasa will struggle on
well, but I think his forte more gameness titian speed.

In the Cleveland Handicap I named MrXMeiklam's Godfrey,
from the manner in which he fulfilled my prediscOoli respecting him
at York.
In the Municipal Stakes, the 'way in which I saw Artwright
finish his race at Goodwood caused me to name him *tithe 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 yin respectably.
Midlothian's doings in public made me pick him for the winner
of the karborough.
The same reasons i i me to fix upon Mentor:or Ould Ireland
for the Gascoyne, and Princess Alice or Freelance for the Two-yrs-
old Stakes.

The result of the St. Leger will iletermine 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 Fitzallen to those of their antagonists.

13A5INGSTOKE.—On Wednesday James Shackle-
ford,
a youth of 14 years of age, was brought beti,re Messrs. Sym •
monds and Cottle, magistrates for Basingstoke, at
the
Borough-
court, on a summons granted upon the information of Mr. pb Y.
the superintendent of
„police on the South-Western Ri.'llw. to
a
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 ernpioyment, deposed that on the morning of the ilth
the dewtt
slow train was proceeding under the Reading-road-,
bridge, a stone was dung 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 sm,:rt chace.
The defendant did not deny throwing the stone, but said it Mis not
larger than a walnut, and expressed much sorrow for what he' had
done. Bailey, the witness, remarked that the stone thrown v`a,',
much larger than described by the accused. The magistrate com:4-
mented in , severe terms upon the extreme danger and enormfitywhf
the offence, and convicted the defendant in the penalty of

RED DEER.—It is well known that the Ted deer im
some districts arrive at a larger size than in others:\ As an in.
stance, we have just heard of two magnificent stags, lately killed in
Ardgour, of the respective weight of 4081bs. and '34;i3lbs., as
killed. When cleaned, including skin, head, and hoirts, they
weighed 3351b5. and 2931b5. The fat on the haunches of those
animals measured in depth above three inches. The head of the
smallest, though not so fine a head as the former, has twelve gaud
points—the other ten.—luverness Courier.
THE \V lIIRLW IND 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
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 com-
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 the owners of the property destroyed
in a similar way at Cette, on the 23d 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 wilt thee
electricity was present in such a way as to give the assured the
benefit of the clause in their policies respecting " the fire of
heaven." The report has been drawn up, and seat to the Tribunal,
but it has not yet been read.—Rouen paper.
JENNY LIND.—A German paper states that this
celebrated vocalist, who has created such a furore in various
parts of Germany, made her debut at Cologne on the 20th
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. The
greater portion of the enthusiastic audience consisted of Engli.b,
many of whore have signified their irtiAtion of following Jenny
Lind from place to plea. Eke is lu appear oat at Yankton
