CENTENARY OF THE GLASGOW
LETTER FOUNDRY.

A t the present naoni•-.Q,when st:chgeneral agi-
tation pervades the labouring population throughout the
country, it is pleasing to have to record an instance
where masters and workmen are found associated to-
gether in mutual good will. On Saturday last, at Two
Waters, Herts. Mr. 'W ilsoh, of the firm of Alexander
Wilson and Sons, letter-founders, Great New-street,
London, gave an excertent dinner to the men in their em-
ploy, to celebrate the centenary of their establishment.
After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, " The health
of the Messrs. Wilsur:," and " Prosperity to the Glasgow
Letter Voundry," were proposed and drunk with the ut-
most enthusiasm. Several excellent speeches were made
by the workmen, and the evening was spent with the
greatest hilarity. On the Monday following the boys
counected with the establishment were regaled with simi-
lar hearty cheer.- —Times.
[We cordially bear our own testimony to the senti-
ments so well expressett above, as to the beneficial
results accruing to the employer and the employed
from a good, !rtmightforward, and reciprocal under-
standing. And we do this the mere readily from
having had the satisfaction of dealing with the highly
respectable house of Alex. Wilson and Sons, for a
long series of vE.ars, during which the beauty and finish
of their types have contributed greatly to the useful-
ness, clearness, and even the ornament, of the varied
printing of The Sun. We should like to see a thousand
such firms celebrating the centenary of their own
prosperity, and the comfort of those whom they employ
on the various arts of this improving age.—E.D. Sun.;

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE-.
DONCASTER RACES W - EDNESDAY.

The hill of fiire, this afternoon, was rather more proli-
fic of sport than is usual on the Wednesday. at these
meetings, hut contained only two races of any interest—
the Municipal and Foal Stakes. The most interesting
part of the day's proceedings was the St. Leger settling,
at the Rooms ; we heard nothing of absenteeism or com-
Fomise, nor did anything transpire that would lead us
to a suspicion of its being otherwise than pleasant. The
races came off in the following order:—

The Doncaster Stakes of 10 sovs. each, with 50 added

The Shadow was the favourite, and won both heats in
a canter.

THE ST. LEGER.—The short time allowed us to for-
ward our report to the train caused two or three slight
inaccuracies in the description of this race. Fireaway,
who was ridden in a white jacket (Attila's colour), was
first from the post, and led for a few yards ; Attila then
rushed to the front, followed by Eboractun and Master
Thomas (not cScalteen), and, on the latter's retreat,
by Cabrera, & . The time was three minutes twenty
seconds. Justbefore the horses started Pharmacopoeia
kicked at Policy, hit Frank Butler on the leg, and in-
flicted a deep flesh wound, but fortunately did not frac-
ture the bone, or prevent his riding in the race. The
winner was bred by Lord Eglinton, and is by Touch-
stone, out of Maid of Melrose, by Brutandorf, dam by
Whisker, granddam by Orville, out of Otterington's dam.
She was in the Goodwood 500 Sovs. each last year,
in the Oaks, in the 500 Sovs. Stakes at the last Liverpool
races, and in the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood; but having
been amiss, did not start for either, and she therefore went
to the post perfectly "dark," and with no other recom-
mendation than a private trial, and a very large outlay
for Lord Eglinton and the stable. As a proof how com-
pletely the sporting world was taken by surprise, we
have only to refer to our list of the horses arrived, or ex-
pected in Monday's paper, in which her name will be
looked for in vain.

FALKIRK SEPTEMBER TRYST.—For many years
heavy falls of rain have been proverbial at our great cat-
tle market ; but this season the weather has been more
delightful th an is in the recollection of many of those
who have long attended the market, so that the immense
si:wk never appeared to better advantage. The first
great sheep market commenced on Monday last, and it
is computed that about 60,000 sheep were upon the Tryst
grounds, besides 7,000 or 8,000 that were disposed of on
the road to market. . The first lot which left the grounds
consisted of 350 black-faced three-year-old wedders ;
they fetched 1/. per head. A very-fine lot, and by judges
considered the top lot in the market, which belonged to
Mr. Laidlaw, Strathglass, Inverness-shire, consisting of
600 white-faced three-year-old Cheviots, were sold for
11. 45. Gd. each. It was remarked by judges that a greater
number of the white-faced Cheviots were in the market
than was ever at any former period. Mr. Patterson,
Sandside, Caithness, had 1,540 three-year-old Cheviot
wedders, 500 of which ss ere sold during the day at 11. 55.;
900 at 1/. 4s. ; 140 at 143/. ; 1,200 white-faced
ewes, price not fixed, but would range from 12s.
to 12s. 6d. Messrs. Mitchell and M`Farlane
sold a very fine lot of 1,000 white-faced Che-
viots for 11. 35., so that the average for this fine
stock may be quoted at 11. 4s. ; and in this kind of stock
most business ‘‘ as done. For crosses, prices from 12s.
to 14s. per head ; black-faced ewes varying from 7s. to
12s. There were about 150 tups for sale. Mr. James
Cowbrongh, AtrAiendeen, Stirlingshire, sold twelve of
the best, which brought 21. 3s. per head ; other lots
sold at prices downward to 1/. 10s. At the close of
Moud.sy's sale a considerable quantity, chiefly inferior,
w ere unsold. There were forty-three tents for refresh-
ments, and five different banks transacted business
upon the occasion. On Tuesday, in the afternoon, sales
continued very dull. The best lot of cattle sold, twenty-
seven in the lot, brought 171. each. About twelve one-
year-old bulls of Ayrshire breed, were sold at 71. A.
number of small Highland queys sold at 21. It is con-
sidered that the Queen's visit was the means of prevent-
ing the market going on as upon former occasions. In the
horse market little business was done.—Scots nun.

ACCIDENT ON THE RlVER.—Yesterday morning,
between seven and eight o'clock. as William Matthews,
aged forty. four years, mate of the Vigilant brig, from
Ipswich, now lying off the Custom-house Quay, was
standing in the• hold of the vessel superintending the
landing of the cargo (sacks of flsur), one of them.
2i cwt., slipped from the slings, when about nine feet
above him, and fell on his head, crushing him in a dreadful
manner, and fracturing his right thigh in two places ; he
was immediately conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital in
a precarious state.
