AMERICAN NEWS.

The Hibernia arrived at Liverpool on Saturday morning.
She brings American papers to the 30th ult. The Great.
Britain was to leave New York on the afternoon of that day.
There is nothing decisive from Mexico. The following ac-
count of the movement of American troops on the frontier is
extracted from the New Orleans Picayune of the 17th ult.
" General Gaines, commanding the southern division of
the United States, having made a demand on Governor
Mouton for one thousand men or more for the national ser-
vice, and the Governor promptly made a requisition on Ge-
neral Lewis, commanding the first division of the Louisiana
militia, for the required force, viz., two regiments of volun-
teers, of ten companies each—one of them to consist of mus-
keteers and oue of riflemen, and two companies of artillery
with eight field pieces, the requisition was immediately
responded to; and will be put forthwith into execution.
" We understand that the whole of the artillery force of the
city—a most effective and well-armed corps—have volun-
teered their services, and that they have been accepted.
"This movement is said to be consequent upon authentic
information which has reached General Gaines, of the ad-
vance of 10,000 Mexican troops to a point within eight days'
march of General Taylor's quarters.
The Texan Convention was to adjourn the third week in
August.

SPORTING IN TELLIGM
(vaoat OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
(Continued from The Sun of Sept. 11.)
Due.au-Durras is a chesnut colt, by Irish Birdcatcher, out of
Brandy Bet, the property of Lord Miltown, of whom may be said
that he has forgotten more than many men of great Turf expee
rience ever knew, and the manner in which he cleaned the ring
out at Newmarket and Chester, with his celebrated mare Cruis.
key, will not be forgotten in a hurry. Lord Miltown first treated
us efith a view of his horse In the Newmarket Craven Meeting,
when he brought him out for the Column Stakes, in which lie
was tee/ten by Winchilsea. Ile has not started since, and is re.
ported to be greatly improved. Neptune, Stagg, or George
Edwards, I presume, will be upon him.
Mr. Ramsay's br g Mftllothian Is fancied by many. He is by Bay
Middleton, out of Myrra, and commenced his racing career by
winning th'e Tyro Stakes at Newcastle, for two years old. He
then wits sent to Doncaster, where he ran second to Lancashire
Witob for the Champagne Stakes. This year the first time we saw
him out was at Newcastle, where he walked over for a Produce
Stakes, and ran second to Winesour for the Cup. At the Liver-
pool Meeting following he ran second to Lord Eglinton's Vaude-
ville for the Croxteth Stakes. At the same meeting he won the
Stanley Stakes, beating Burlesque, Pluto (a capital two years old),
Lancashire Witch and Hope. At Newton he won the Trial Stakes,
beating Juvenal by a length ; and then ran second to Sweetmeat
for the St. Helen's Purim, beating Lancashire Witch and Pluto. He
was next brought out at York, where, after a severe race with June,
he won a sweepstakes of 30 sovs., and easily disposed of Sir Charles
Monk's Castaway filly and three others for the County Cup. All
these doings are certainly calculated to give his friends, who are
numerous, confidence in hirn ; and, although I am afraid he has
beer. too much kaocked about to be fresh enough for such a race as
this, still I have no doubt he will struggle on to the end,
and attain a most respectable position in the race. To Cartwright
I expect will be assigned the duty of "steering" him.
As 1 see Pam is put down as a likely starter, I must not over.
look him, though I think his chance entirely nut. Pam first
came before the public at Doncaster last year, where he beat Lord
Glasgow's Miss Whip colt by a neck for a match of 500 sees. After
that he never started until the past Epsom meeting, where, in run-
ning for the Derby (in which race he had many friends) he was
knocked down and so rendered hors-de •combal. At Goodwood he
ran third, and last to Worthless far the Racing Stakes.
I now come to the great Chester Cup lion, Fitzallen, of whom
great hopes are still entertained. Fitzallen is by The Saddler, out
of Fitzroy's dam. As a two year old he only started once, viz.,
f at the Tyro Sakes at Neweast'e, where he was second to Mid-
lothian. He was then kept for the Chester Cup of the present
year, for which great handicap he was thought to be so well in,
that he was backed to win nearly 100,0001. He, however, could
only get the fourth place, Intrepid, St. Lawrence, and Milton
f.nishing in front of him. In the Cheshire Stakes, for which his
f. ,ends still stuck to him, he again succumbed to Intrepid and
neboy. At the Gorhambury meeting, with sst. 61b., he did
not get a place in the Gorhambury Stakes, won by Queen of the
Tyne ; and in the Double-headed Oak Stakes he was equally tin.
f irtunate. From the stable in which he stands he is not to be
held too cheap, and if he is backed in earnest by his party, my
readers may rest assured it is not without a sufficient reason. Ills
osner and trainer will ride, and naturally make the most of him.
I now come to the chief representative of the Mitchel-grove
stable, Ould Ireland, who has been backed by his enthusiastic
countrymen to win them as large a stake almost as Foig-a-ballagh
did. Ould Ireland ran only twice In England as a two year old,
and was beaten on each occasion, viz., in the Mersey Stakes at
Liverpool, by Pantasa, and in the Stanley Stakes by Sweetmeat.
Over the Curragh, however, he wes more fortunate, as he won
the Angleseys in a canter, beating Clear-the way and seven others,
and afterwards walked over for the Sligo Produce Stakes. The
same succeits seems to have attended him over that course this
year, for he carried off the Queen's Plate with 7st 111 b, and 3 to
1 on him, from King Dan and the Bran Filly. This performance
made him a tremendous favourite for the Chester Cup, in which
race, owing to the manner in which he was ridden, he did not get
a place. He, however, the following day, managed to beat Semi.
seria by half a head for the Free Handicap—ten others running
besides. On his return to Ireland the Baron beat him for the
second class of the Waterford Stakes at the June Curragh meeting;
but he afterwards, with 7st 41b, and even betting on him, won
the Queen's Plate from Highwayman, Crosby Mouche colt, King
Dan, and Kingfisher. He was then put under the care of the
veteran Forth, who will bring him to the post, I have no doubt,
In blooming form. With such a trainer, and such a jockey as
Henry Bell, in spite of his position in the odds, Ould Ireland's
@hence, in my opinion, is not at all to be despised.
As the papers say Mr. Fergussen's Clear-the.way has been sent
to Doncaster, I suppose I cannot do less than notice him. He is
by Harkaway out of Taglioni, by Whisker. He twice ran second
to Ould Ireland as a two year old, and the only race he has to
boast of winning is the Paget Stakes at the September Curragh
meeting, when he beat Singaway and two other wretches. A
greater impostor never was stripped on a race-course, and the man
that could back him, after the exhibition he cut at Epsom, ought
to have a commission de lunatico inquirendo taken out against
him. Mr. Merry's Collier finds many friends in the north. He is
by Shcetanchor out of Florentia, and his chief claim to support
rests upon having, as a two year old, defeated Pythia for the Fable
Stakes at Stirling, and linden for the King's Park Stakes at the
same place.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

St a,—The great meeting of the north, at Doncaster, commences
Cruesday next, lasting four days, and has withal a fair amount
f sport ; the course is in splendid condition at the present time,
and should the fine weather continue, the meeting will be a bril-
liant one, equal to any of its predecessors.
On Tuesday the Fitzwilliam Stakes will probably have The
Shadow for winner.
For the Champagne Stakes the following will show, viz. :—lago,
Princess Alice, Curiosity, Flash of Lightning, Fair Star, Andrew
Brandy, Pert colt, Malcolm, Sheraton, and perhaps one or two
more. Of these I shall look to Malcolm or Princess Alice to pull
through, with Pen colt and Fair Star close up.
The 500 Sovs. Sweepstakes to Ennui, Tom Tulloch second, and
Mix, Whip third.
The Two-year-old Produce Stakes will be walked over for by
P‘digreo.
The Cleveland Handicap will have for starters, Cock Robin,
Marian Ramsay, Hope, Vaudeville or Quebec, Godfrey or True-
boy, and perhaps the Knight of the Whistle; the race will lay en-
tirely between Hope, Quebec, and Mr. lileiklam's starter, and I
think the first or last of the two will do the trick.
The 50 Soya. Plate will go to the stoutest and toughest piece of
second-rate horseflesh to be found at Doncaster this year .
Her Majesty's Plate will go to Dawson's stable.
The match between Nottingham and Semiseria, will, I fancy, go
the former, Semistria in my opinion not being able to give Notting-
ham a stone.
On Wednesday the all-important race of the meeting, the Great
St. Leger, will be contested for by the following animals :—Miss
Sarah, Mentor rather doubtful, Pantasa, Red Robin, Weatherbit,
Ould Ireland, The Baron, Old England, Mid Lothian, Duc-an.
Dereas, The Pulls, Collier, Fitzallen, Foremast, Chertscy,
June, and Clear-the-Way; the front rank at the finish will consist
of Miss Sarah, Mentor, Pantasa, Red Robin, and Weatherbit, and
of these I have but little doubt that Marlow on Pantasa will be the
leader, Miss Sarah and Mentor enjoying the second and third places,
westherbit fourth, Red Robin fifth, Old England, Ould Ireland,
at d the rest following. The Foal Stakes, in the absence of Mid
L ,thian, will go to Cinizelli.
The Municipal Stakes of 200 sees. each will be won by Ark -
wright.
On Thursday the Great Yorkshire Handicap will turn out nearly
a dozen, among others QU' en Nab, The Shadow, Fitzsllen, Glossy,
My Mary, and Jenny Wren. Fitzallen's running the pre-
vious day will settle him to all intents and purposes ; Queen
Nab has too much weight to carry. Jenny Wren will, if she
starts, MI game to the finish, so will The Shadow.
My Mary is fanciest by some, but I think her chance to be but
so-so. Glossy ought to run well, but she is a mare that I should
be very sorry to trust with much cash, her going fairly from end to
and being very doubtful- In conclusion, lam inclined to think
the winner will spring out of these four—Jenny Wren, Glossy,
Truehoy, and The Shadow.

The Scarborough Stakes all but a certainty for Cowl if he starts,
otrP•a'" Midlothian.
he* 0 Sons. Stakes to Weatherbit.

iday, the Cup to Sweetmeat or Lothsrio ; It is the ge-
nera, cri iion these two animals will be entered, and if entered
they as.: tolerably sure of carrying off the trophy between them.
The Gascoigne Stakes will produce a contest :between Cowl,
Mentor, Ould Ireland, and Fitzallen, whom I expeet to see pass the
post in the order I hare placed them.
The Two.year-old Stakes are destined for Lord G. Bentinck
with the Princess Alice, or Mr. Merry with his Peri colt, by Don
John.
The Park Hill Stakes will be; I should say, a second edition,
not of The Sun, but of the great Yorkshire Stakes. The match
between liord Harry and the Traverser will be won by the
former.

The match between Nottingham and Fitaallen will be
.tigh
and will old in favour of the latter.

The matches on Saturday Lord G. Bentinck will be sure to
win.—l am, Sir, yours, &c.,
