SP"RTING INTELLIGENCE

GOODWOOD RACES.

CHICHiSTER, MONDAY NIGHT, EIGHT O'CLOCK.—In the
course of the day a great number of arrivals have been re-
ported, but as yet there has been no " gathering" at the
betting-rooms, nor any betting deserving of notice. We
hear that all the stables at Goodwood and the vicinity are
full, and that an immense number of horses were out this
morning; further, that Uua (who arrived yesterday in com-
pany with La Goualeuse, 2 yrs old) and Plaudit broke down
this morning. The Cure pulled up lame yesterday; Aris-
tides is also said to be lame. In addition to those already
published, Master Thomas, Sir Abstrupus, Philip, Venus
filly, Rowena, Queen of Tyne, and several others have arrived,
The weather continues favourable.

GOODWOOD RACES.
(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT. )
Thursday is the grand day of the meeting, but why it
should be so called I know not, seeing that the sport on the
first day is just as good, if not better. As the Cup is the
gre «t ature of the day, and the race that excites most in-
terest among the fairer portion of the creation, I shall allude
to it first, and if I shall be enabled to add to the wardrobe cif
some of my lady readers a few dozen of gloves I shall be
amply repaid for the trouble the task of commenting upon
this valuable stake has cost me. A great deal of the in-
terest which this race has excited has been destroyed by the
withdrawal of Foig-a-ballagh. Nobody can now com-
plain that the announcement was not made soon
enough. At the post I expect to see St. Law-
rence, 9st. 71b., The Cure, 9st. 11b, Sorella, Bst. 111 b.,
Ak her, Bst. 51b., Valerian, Bst. Ilb., Amid°. 7 at. 121 b., Game-
cock, 7st. 121 h., Stomacher, 7st. 111 b., Refraction, 7st. 71b.,
Drummer, 7st. 51b., Laird o' Cockpen, 6st. 131 b., Winchester,
6st. 111 b., Miss Elis, 3 yrs, 6st. 91b. Of these I think St.
Lawrence or Gamecock will be found the first at the winning
post. The former, it should be borne in mind, with Bst. 91b.,
ran second to Sweetmeat at Bath, for the Somersetshire
Stakes, distance two miles and a half, and subseptently
second to Intrepid, at Chester, beating a very large field of
horses, - after a race run the greater part of it at terrific
speed. Neither Intrepid or Sweetmeat have since been
beaten, and St. Lawrence has been kept fresh in his stable, and
will be ridden by old John Day. Gamecock, has likewise the
advantage of a long rest, added to which he is extremely well
in at Newton. Arundo, I should imagine, would only start out
of compliment to his owner, the steward of the meeting.
Stomacher is much fancied by those who support Mr. Forth
on this course. He is an opponent always to be dreaded,
but I think not so much on this occasion as on othere. The
Stomacher cannot complain of the weight assigned to her,
and, if ehe runs, will no doubt be in a good place. The
Drummer, from all I can hear, will turn out no Beggarman.
Refraction is an in-and-out runner, added to which 7st. 71b.
for a three years old, two miles and a half, must prove a stopper.
Gamecock, for his two years, gives her only 51b.—think of
that, ye speculators on the weights. I think Miss Elis
will be ridden by the luckiest jockey of the day (Nat), and
belongs to a nobleman who has won more Goodwood Cups
than any other person on the turf. And when I recollect
Priam, Carew, liornsea, all being chronicled winners of this
nch plate, the former twice, I do not think that Lord Ches-
terfield would have sent Gamecock had he not been convinced
of the excellent chance he stood for it valerian, the present
first favourite, is far too uncertain an animal for me to place
faith in. Akbar has neither speed nor bottom for this race.
Winesour, should he be started, will speedily feel the effect of
his winning, and the weight the Laird will have to carry,
will prevent the Cup gracing the sideboards of either of
their owners. The Cure will struggle on towards the front,
but his habit of swerving at the end of his races makes
me mistrust him now.
The Racing Stakes is likely to furnish an excellent race
between Pug and Worthless. The former, I think, will be
found the better of the two. Cowl will not go, on account
of the penalty of 61b. he has to carry for winning at Ascot.
Lord George Bentinck's Nightcap, I am told, will walk
over for the 100 Sovs. Stakes.
The 200 Sovs. Sweepstakes, for colts and fillies, will bring
out the two best bred two-year-olds in England. Ark-
wright, by Don John, winner of the speediest St. Leger ever
known, out of Arachne, an Oaks winner, is one, and Lom-
brero, by Bay Middleton, likewise a Derby winner, out of
Chapeau d'Espsgne, a mare that ran second to Pussy for the
Oaks. As the former animal has the speediest blood in his
veins, I think he will be found the best at the finish.
The 200 Sovs. Two-year-old Stakes will be, like all the
races of this class, merely a trial between John Day's stable
and John Kent's.
The Sussex Stakes I apprehend will go to Mr. Shelley's
Samphire, if what I hear be true.
For the Anglesey I prefer moat Quebec, Naworth, and Sir
Abstrupue.
On Friday the Naesan Stakes will be sharply contested
for by Stitch, Plaudit, and Pug, and as Lord Eglinton's filly
has not been running about so much as Lord George's, I shall
give the preference to her.
For the Chesterfield Cup forty horses are handicapped, and
about half that number, in all probability, will start.
Rowena, Vaudeville, the Knight, and Arcanus, will be found,
I opine, the best of them.
Queen Mab will be difficult to beat for the Maidstone
Stakes. If any animal does it, I should think it would be John
o'Gatust ; and if Princess Alice has not run previously, I
think she will prove the winner.
Cowl or the Laird o'Cockpen will, no doubt, walk over for
the 50 Soya. Stakes.
The Molecombe will be one of the most interesting races
of the day, but the starters for it are uncertain, and depend
materially upon the results of the other races. Freelance
will haVe to carry 51b. extra for winning the Chesterfield
Stakes, Princess Alice suffers a like penalty from having the
good fortune to carry off a rich stake at Chester. Witaend
is in a similar situation ; therefore, I think their chance is quite
out. Madcap has improved so much lately, that I think
either her or Sting will be first home. As I have little doubt
Cambaules will win the Ham, and so have to carry 51b extra,
I shall not put him down as likely to win this.

ber Meeting

A NEW MANCHESTER EXCHANGE.—A short time
since we announced the intention of the proprietors of
the present Exchange to enlarge the building to a consi-
derable extent, and gave the particulars of their plans in
furtherance of their intention ; we have now to announce
the intention of a separate and independent party to erect
an entirely nem building, in the neighbourhood of High-
street. We had yesterday an opportunity of inspecting a
drawing of the intended elevation, which, if carried out,
will be a very great ornament to the town--indeed, we have
no building in Manchester that can at all be compared with
it ; it bears some resemblance in form to the Liverpool
Custom House, but is altogether a very superior and hand-
some structure, of two stories. The site is at the upper end
of Market-street, High-street, Cannon-street, and Palace-
street, covering Marsden-square, the whole of the shop-
warehouse and other property within those limits having to
come down. The building is to form three sides of a square,
having the open or principal front to face into High-street;
the open space in front, of the centre and between the two
wings will be a raised stone platform, to be approached
by a handsome flight of steps from High street, for the
convenience of the congregated merchants and manufac-
turers during change hours. The news room is to occupy
the Market-street side of the square or wing occupying two
stories, thus forming a spacious and lofty room, lighted by
three domes and the side-lights; the size of this room will be
nearly the same as the large room at Exeter Hall, London,
about 12,000 square feet ; the approach to it is made by three
entrances from Market-street. The centre of the building on
both stories will be converted into ofEces. which wlil be let
off for mercantile purposes. The northern, or Cannon-street
wing, will form a Stock Exchange, and a public mercan-
tile sales room; above these rooms, on the second story,
will be a large room of corresponding dimensions with the
news-room in the other wing, which will be a public room ap-
plicable to the purposes of a large music-room, or public
meetings, or it will be divisible into three rooms, as occasion
may require. From the above sketch it will be readily con-
ceived that the erection will not be made at a slight expense.
and it is intended to accomplish the object by means of a com-
pany to raise 200,000/. in 25/. shares ; the company is alreadv
provisionally registered in -secordance with the new Act, and
the projectors have received every encouragement ruin all
quarters where the matter has been mentioned. It will he
brought more prominently forward, we understand, in a few
days. —Manchester Courier.
RI:LEASH ;mom A LONG CONFINE:WE:ST.—On Tues-
day last, an aged roar, named Charleswortli, was released from
York Castle, after an imprisonment of 29i years. 10 181(3 he
was committed for contempt of the award of a referee who had
been appointed to decide a dispute between him awl another party
respecting the height of a dam attached to a mill belonging to him,
in the neighbourhood of Holmfirth. He has been discharged by a
judge un,er the provisions of an Act of Parliament passed in the
reign of William IV.
ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLCII.----A sailing-match
for three elegant pieces of plate given by this Club, will take place
to-morrow. The yachts, ten in number, will start from the Rock
Ferry, sail through the Crosby Channel, Victoria Channel, round
the Bell Beacon, cud back to the place of starting. One of the
City of Dublin Company's boats taTI attend and follow the match,
and the prizes will be delivered to the winners on board. The con-
test for the Grand Challenge Cup, value 100 guineas, will take
place on Thursday, the Ilth of September. The cup will be
exhibited at the meeting to.morrow.—Liverpool Pacer of Monday,
ROBBERY BY A DOMESTIC.— On Sunday aftt-rtimin,
between one and two o'clock, on the return of Mr. Shatter and
his family from church to their residence in Arundel-street,
Chelsea, they were unable to gain admission to their house, and,
after knocking for nearly an hour, Mr. Shatter at length effected
an entrance by climbing over the wall of the garden separating his
from the adjoining house, when he discovered that his servant,
Mary Halls, had absconded, taking with her a tin cashbox, con.
raining twenty-five sovereigns, two 151. notes, and a dozen silver
spoons. It is supposed that she had been urged to the commission
of this robbery r'y a man who had Oen for some time in the habit
of ;Olin* to see her.
