FOUR o'CLocK.—An opportunity of forwarding our
parcel by a private hand, induces us to close it without
waiting the result of the Hopeful, for which .the filly w;11
run ; the Vulture colt ; Poison, RhOdacantha and
Bizarre fillies; Tilcho and Peloponnesus; the very slight
interest that'it' • had excited is completely dissipated by
the rain, which has descended in torrents throughout
the day, and appears " set-in". for the meeting.

The First October Meethig,- so called, although this
time beginning and ending in September, commences
to-morrow. A more meagre bill o ffare could hardly
be presented. Several of the matches Wiltalot be run.
Farintosh, Murat (the Colonel will not lie afraid to
meet him this time), and one of Mr. Wreford'itthree
beaten ones, will go for the Buckenham. Canadian-is;
reported to be in force. If this report be true, he
must win the Grand Duke Michael in a trot. There
will be a good field for the Hopeful. Matches ex-
cepted, there is no other race on the list but the Rut-
land. Many of the horses engaged in the Hopeful
also meet here. But if this meeting reads small, how
much the more brilliant does the next appear? A
word on the Cesarewitch. I cannot see why the
handicap for this race should appear before Don-
caster. True, the winner of the St. Leger is doomed
to carry 101bs extra, which, in this pnuliar instance,
is a fortunate condition, Blue Bonnet, a mare that
had never started, being by some singular and unac-
countableoversight, handicapped at Est 131 b. She
has, therefore, to carry 6st 91b. But, suppose Ca-
brera had chanced to win the St. Leger, his weight
for the Cesarewitch would have been then Bst, a
weight as effectual in excluding any three vrs old as
Ost 51b. The weight appropriated to Charles the
Twelfth effectually deprives any horse that ever
was' foaled of the most remote chance in the
world. The object of a handicap is to give each and
every horse an equal chance ; and I maintain that
this design is not best carried out by publishing
the weights so many Weeks before the race. You
may argue that if the ,weights were not declared
before the Yorkshire handicap was run, horses would

ably weighted in the Cesarewitch. f differ. The
fonner stake is as (if not more) valuable, and cer-
tainly much easier to win than the latter. ton may
win more money
in bets on the Cesarewitch ; but
'
there will be equally heavy betting on the Yorkshire
handicap in future, that race being in future to be
run on the day after, instead of on the day before,
the St. Leger.
While the winner of the St. Leger
or Cup (poor Charles ! it is lucky for you you did not
win the Cup, list. Ilb. would have been a quietus,
methinks) carries 101 b. extra; the second in either
race escapes penalty. The uninitiated may infer, if

Twenty stables have here horses engaged ; there is
every prospect, therefore, of the field being large in
proportion to the number accepting. Scott leaves in
three ; Dawson, four ; Forth, three •
; Edwards, three;
Boyce, two; Stephenson, two; John Day, one ;
Kent, one; Trenn, one ; Isaac Day, one ; Jones, oe;
Prince, one; Smith, one; Sadler, one; Lord Mnil-
town, one ; Lord Orford, one ; Captain Price, one ;
Mr. Graydon, one. Thus all the principal train:Ts
have horses engaged, and, being obliged to come to
Newmarket, will probably bring others for the diffe-
rent plates and handicap races.
There are fifty-four acceptances for the•Cambridge-
shire Stakes, one of the best handicaps I ever remember.
I observe in the last calendar that there are already
one hundred and fifty-six subscribers to the Good-
wood Stakes. The public may not *be aware of the
fact, but I can tell them that there would have been
nearer two hundred had not Lord George Bentinek
transferred many of the willing subscribers to the
March Stakes (gentlemen riders), which race numbers
sixty-two subscribers. It grieves me to see so much
good money wasted; if I live nine hundred years and
stand alone, I will continue to bring forward my
annual motion, that the Goodwood Stakes be in future
divided into two classes.

_;ORONER'S INQUEST.-011 Saturday afternoon, an
investigation, which lasted several hours, was gone
into before Mr. Baker, the Coroner, at the Black
Horse, Kingsland-road, touching the death of a fine
robust man, mune unknown, who was found dead in a
cab under the following suspicious circumstances
John Hawkins, driver of cab No. 1,175, said that on
Friday afternoon he took the deceased up at the corner
of Warwick-lane, ill Nervgate-street, who was in
company at the time with two women and a man. -
in
Deccaged was very much liquor, being quite in-
sensible, and was told by one of the women to
drive him to Goldsmith's-row,. Hackney-road. ' He
then proceeded, and saw the woman and man walk
hastily away. On arriving
at the turnpike in the
Ilackney-road, the deceased was seen at the
bottom of the cab, as if he was dead,
by the collector, who required the toll of him.
He was removed immediately to Dr. Betson's sur-
gery, where it was found he was quite dead. On his
pocket being searched, 12s. in silver was found, and
several memoradums of receiving money in various
sums—viz., 2,1121. 19s. Bd., 160/., 1081., and also a
letter, signed Ellen, posted from Boston. He has the
appearance of having been some traveller for a meat
salesman, being attired in a dark moleskin frock, blue
checked silk waistcoat, and dark blue trousers. On
his shirt were the marks A. I?, No. 40, and No. 2 ;
likewise on his stockings were A. p. He is about
5 feet 9 inches high, light hair, and
40. The Coroner observed it apparently about
