EXPLOSION OF FOUL AIR ON BOARD SHIP•
In the schooner Mermaid, of Guernsey, at South
Shields, after taking in her cargo (coals), an explosion took
place, which tore away some of the planks of the cabin
ceiling, and one of the bulkheads. The explosion is sup-
posed to have been caused by lightning, which was very
vivid at the time.

WALMER CASTLE.--The Duke of Wellington is
occupied daily with his new duties as Commander-in•
Chief, and despatches are every day sent oil to Apslei
House, whence they are forwarded to Lord Fitzroy
Somerset at the Horse Guards. There are no visitors
here except the Marquis and Marchioness of Douro,
whose health continues to improve. Lord C. Wellesley►
the new Member for South Hants, arrived early in the
week on a short visit to his Grace, and has since left.
His Grace is in the enjoyment of better health than he
has experienced for some time.

Dover keeps on filling daily, and we should say
there is more company in the place than was ever before
seen by the oldest inhabitant. The weather continues
in the daytime almost as hot as ever ; but as the days
draw in, and the evenings creep out, the cool sea-breeze
after twilight becomes most refreshing and health-inspir-
ing. A day or two more of the present fine weather
will bring us a harvest home. The wheat comes to hand
so matured, that in several instances we have witnessed
the thrashing-machine at work in the fields.—Dover
Chronicle.

THE FORTHCOMING DONCASTER RACES.-- The, •
most extensive preparations for the forthcoming annual
fete are proceding on all hands, with a spirit which,
however liberal, or worthy of the highest degree of corn'
mendation, are no more than commensurate with the • , important and interesting occasion. In racing mat;
tern, indeed, we are treading upon the threshold of
a new era. Nor is it too much to assert, that the -1
approaching races will be the greatest races ever wit-
nessed upon the Doncaster turf. Not only is it the great-
est St. Leger ever known, embracing, too, the best horses
in the kingdom, and awakening a degree of rivalrY
which has never been exceeded in former years, but the
other stakes, angmented in amount by the liberal spirit
of the municipal body, have never been exceeded ill
number, and, of course, in value, without mentioning
the several valuable and important new prizes, which,
alone, are of a formidable character. Such a bill of fare,
indeed, will be hid before the lovers of racing—such a
list of valuable prizes will be presented—as Doncaster
never saw before, bringing into competition the first •
horses of the day, from the splendid two-year. At
to "'t auld mere." The value of the several prizes
alone will ensure that competition. That competition
will draw together a brilliant throng to witness the re-
sult of struggles, the expectancy of which is bringing into
exercise the experience, the judgment, and the skill of the
respective trainers, and, eventually, of the respective jam'
keys. It is almost impossible to say too much in this re-
spect. It is gratifying, too, to couple with the circumstance
that, on the part of the authorities of the borough, no
means will be disregarded to provide for the public
accommodation, and to ensure the perfect safety of the
visitors, the fact that the conductors of the respective
inns, as well as the owners and occupiers of private .
houses, are busily employed in providing comfortable
homes for their several guests during the approaching
and interesting week. The inquiries for lodgings are
already numerous ; those for several noblemen are
already engaged, including the Marquis of Westminster,
the Earl of Chesterfield, &c. We hear of applicati( "
for the accommodation of one party of only thirty gen'
tlemen.—Doncaster Gazette.

EXECUTION.—The statement in a Contemporary Of
yesterday that the warrant authorising the execution 0,
Francis Bradley, now lying under sentence of death for
poisoning his wife at Manchester, had been received by
Mr. Amos, the Guvei nor of Kirkdale Gaol, is not, ca..
rect. As a matter of course, the warrant, when issued,
would be sent to the Sheriff's office at Preston, where,
we believe, it has been received. In this case there is 110
doubt that the unfortunate man will suffer the extreme
penalty of the law to-morrow (Saturday) morning,
about eight o'clock. He still continues to be regularly
attended by the Rev. P. Wilcock, of St. Anthony's:',
Liverpool Mercury.

THE LATE RIOTS IN LANCASHIRE.---We believe.
that there are now in Kirkdale gaol, undergoing their
several periods of imprisonment, thirty-eight prisoners
who have- been tried and convicted at Preston, for being
engaged in the late serious disturbances in that town.
We understand also, that seventy-two of the Mew
chester rioters arrived at Kirkdale yesterday, where
they will remain either till the next assizes, or till a
special commission be issued. There were ten cote;
'ratted from other parts of the country, making a tots,
of 120 prisoners now in Kirkdale gaol, as agents in the
late violent outbreaks in Lancashire.—LiverpoolMerctirp
