GRAND POLISH FETE AT STAF-
FORD HOUSE ON FRIDAY NEXT.

We are authorised to state, that in addition to the great
attraetion of the German company, comprising Herr Staudigl
and Demoiselle Lutzer, whose departure has been deferred
expressly for the purpose of being present at Stafford-house,
the services of Signors Rubini, Mario, and Ronconi, as also of
Mesdames Persiani and Moltini, have been in the handsomest
manner tendered to and accepted by the Literary Association of
the Friends of Poland, at whose Chambers, 10, Duke-street, St.
James's, a few tickets, not transferable, may still be procured.
It would be idle in us to offer a single word of encomium on the
generous disregard of all personal inconvenience thus a se-
cond time evinced by the Duke and Duchess of Su-
therland in placing their splendid mansion at the disposal
of the Association for the benefit of the Refugees, who, we
understand, would have been left wholly destitute during the
ensuing autumn but for this munificent act of generosity, which
has no parallel save in the similar conduct of those illustrious
persons the preceding year. Selfish and charitable mo-
tives might equally influence the brilliant throng of
birth, beanty, and fashion, in obeying the summons of the
Duchess of Sutherland next Friday, but we, who wish not
at present to reason as deeply on the matter as it might well
permit, cannot but find a sufficient reason for the extraor-
dinary demand for tickets which has taken place in the eclat
which attended the similar fete of last year, and the novelty
of beholding the rival companies of the St. James's and Ita-
lian theatres united to perform the sublimest of Rossini's compo-
sit ion 8, the " Stabat Mater," in one of the most costly and splendid
mansions in this or any other country. Those who are anxious
to be numbered amongst the " glittering throng" next Friday
must make an early application at the chambers of the Asso-
ciation, 10, Duke-street, St. James's; hut we fear much, that
notwithstanding the high price of the tickets, two guineas, and
the timely warning given by the Press, there will be many,
very many disappointed applicants.

SUHOLES RACES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

St a,—Herewith I beg to hand you one of our Bolton news-
papers. An article you will find—viz., " Scholes Races."
I think if her Majesty can attend Ascot, Newmarket, &c.,
and greatly support them with her purse, the very poor of
Scholes ought not to be deprived of this national treat, afterlilo
many other privations.—l am, Sir, most respectfully,
Bolton, July 11, 1842. NO CANT.

The following is the paragraph referred to :
" SciioLEs RACES. —This dangerous and disgraceful practice
was resumed on Monday evening last. These races have, for
a number of years past, been kept up annually ; but owing to
an accident of a serious nature which befel one of the
" jockeys," last year but one, they were put a stop to
on the following anniversary. The reason of their again
being resumed, we are at a loss t) conjecture. By
this practice being allowed, a vast concourse of men,
women, and children are collected together ; and while the
horses arc capering and prancing,' many serious accidents
might occur. We think it would be highly praiseworthy
were the authorities to put a stop to such practices."—Bolton
Free Press.
[ls our Liberal Contemporary really serious when he pro-
poses to put down races because men, women, and children
meet together in their best dresses, with joyful countenances—
because horses " caper and prance," and serious accidents may
occur ? He would of course put down all fairs, for a wild bull
might break loose among the. men, women, and children—he
would put down all balls, all religious and convivial meetings,
because the floor might give way, or the roof, nay, perhaps,
the sky fall, and cause "many serious accidents ;" there would
be an end to fox-hunting, to boat-racing, to cricket, to swim-
ming, which sometimes ends in drowning, and even to walking,
which risks the safety of the tibia and fibula. Horses were
made for running, men for active and daring exercise, and
those who are afraid to do what nature teaches, should hide
themselves in sequestered holes and corners, and sleep with
