Two to 1 and 5 to 2 on Sir Hercules, who, considering
his lameness, ran admirably well. He was taken to the
post, where at first it was thought he would not be able to
run, but finding, on cantering him a little way, that he
might have a chance against the two things opposed to
him, he was allowed to start. Sir Hercules made the run-
ning all the way, the other two lying on either side of
Om close upon his quarters ; there was no change till
they came to the distance, where Zodiac was beat off. At
the Grand Stand Fortitude made an attempt to get up,
but could not manage it, the horse Winning cleverly by
half a length : rode by Conolly, Fortitude by Robinson,
and Zodiac by Johnson. From what we have seen of Sir

PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 19.—Our pilots report that
a fleet of seven Russian men of war passed down
Channel yesterday. The Amity transport spoke
one of the frigates off Portland, and saw two line-of-
battle-ships in company. We are inclined to doubt
that so many as seven passed by, because no man•
of-war was fitting at Cronstadt when the Herald
yacht left that port, nor do our timber ships bring
any further information from Archangel that a greater
number were equipping in that arsenal than two
line-of-battle-ships, and a frigate, which entered the
Baltic and called at Copenhagen. These ships may
have been ordered to proceed to reinforce Count
Heiden.

The Amity transport, Lieutenant W. Lester,
agent, arrived yesterday, from Malta, after a long
passage, having called at several Italian ports ; she
left Gibraltar the 30th ult. The Favourite sloop of
war, Captain Harrison, passed Gibraltar on her way
to Malta, on the 28th August. The Amity brings
inforination of the French Admiral having gone
into the port of Algiers, with a flag of truce flying;
that on his sending his boat on shore he was pe-
remptorily ordered to quit the harbour; and on
weighing anchor and making sail, the batteries
opened a tremendous fire on his ship, which almost
sunk her. She was compelled to make the best of
her way to Toulon, having, it is said, received 60
shots between wind and water.

The Britomart transport arrived on Tuesday from
Barbadoes, having sprung her fore and mizen masts
i►► a gale of wind. On her passage she spoke the
Hebe, of Torquay, for Newfoundland; the Har-
binger, of Whitby, from Liverpool to Miramichi ;
and the Courier, from Liverpool to Vera Cruz—all
well. The Britomart sailed from Barbadoes on the

15th of August with a few military invalids and
stores. The island was quite healthy.

that the Sylvia, in running before the wind a dis-
tance of twelve miles, was superior to the whole,
leaving the Eagle nearly half a mile, Sprightly one
mile, and the Hawk one mile and a half. With the
wind a-beam, the Sylvia was equal with the Eagle,
and superior to the Hawk and Sprightly. In work-
ing to windward, a distance of twelve miles, the
Sylvia and Eagle were equal, and superior to the
other two.
