Even on Laura; the other three went off abteast at a
good pace, the favourite waiting upon them till they got
to the distance, where the Duke of Leeds's was in first ;
she then went up, challenged, and, after a fine race, won
by nearly a length—rode by Robinson ; Duke of Leeds's,
by Johnson ; Lord Milton's, by Lye ; and Thoresby, by
Darling. Value of the stakes 4001., deducting the win-
ner's stake.

Even on Medoro. Cistercian made play, followed by
Deiphine to the distance, where Medoro ran by the latter,
and challenged Cistercian ; between these two a tremen-
dous run home ended in a dead heat; the Stakes were di-
vided between their proprietors, and Medoro cantered over
out of form, rode by Lye, Cistercian by a clever lad named
Gilbert, Deiphine by Robinson, Coulon by Nicholson, and
Moonshine by Johnson.

The Gold Cup—The most important race now to be
decided is for the above splendid prize. It continues to
excite very considerable interest in all classes, without pos-
sessing that pre-eminent attraction which distinguished it
prior to the defeat of the celebrated Zinganee, who is so
decidedly amiss that Lord Chesterfield declines starting
him, and he is now on the road to Newmarket. The
favourites now are Fleur de Lis and Laurel, whose parties
are numerous and influential ; the field, however, is likely
to he larger now that Zinganee has disappeared from -it ;
fur there can be no doubt that had he won yesterday, he
would have frightened more than one out of the field.
The Nobility haul backed heavily to win that and the cup,
at odds, beginning at 9 to 2, and finishing at 2 to 1.
The St. Leger has paralysed all speculation at present, so
that we have no variation in the odds to report.

No symptoms of an extraordinary desire to
get into Parliament have yet manifested themselves among
the Roman Catholics in Ireland. Lord STOPFORD, one
of the present Members for the county of Wexford, in
which there is a strong Catholic interest, having an-
nounced his intention to retire after the present Session,
three new Candidates, viz., Mr. RAM, Mr. ARTHUR
CHICHESTER, and Mr. CAD WA LLAD ER WADDY, have
declared themselves candidates in the event of a general
election. These gentlemen are all Protestants. Sir
THOMAS ES3I ONDE, who is the head of the leading Ca-
tholic family in that county, has declined standing, and
there is no idea of any other member of the Catholic body
offering himself.

THE LATE J. C. CURWEN, M. P. FOR
CUMBERLAND.-Tlais distinguished champion of the
agricultural interest was sadly addicted to the fairsex. Many
were the little CHRISTIANS (his former name) and little
CURWENS about Workington Hall, whom the world knew
by other names. About fifteen years ago Mr. Cultwxx,
who was almost a dictator in the little town of Working-
ton, where he kept the only chandler's shop in the place,
and paid his labourers their wages in goods (very much
to their dissatisfaction), wished to induce the good people
to agree to some measure which went greatly against the
grain. They demurred ;he convened a public Meeting,
and addressed them from the chair. His arguments were
evidently not sufficient to conquer the repugnance of the
town's folk. At last he got warm and eloquent. " What !
(said he) will you not listen to me, your best friend ; I
who hare made you what you are; I who am the father
of you all !" The orator was cut short by a voice from
the end of the room, " Noa, noa, Maister, doan't thee
zsy that ; thee may be father to a good many o'us, but,
odds bodilikins! thee be's not feyther to us all."
DREADFUL FIRE IN HIGII HOLBORN.—
Between two and three o'clock this morning, a fire broke
out in the house of Mr. HANSON, the silversmith, No. 75,
High Holborn, next door to Mr. HOPKINSON'S large coach
manufactory, which in a little time communicated to Mr.
RAY, the tinman's house, No. 74, and trout thence to Mrs.
DREW'S, the poulterer's ; all of these houses were built of
wood, and being on fire at the same time the conflagration
was awfully grand. It was with the utmost difficulty that
the inmates of the different houses were -enabled to save
their lives in their night-clothes.
The wooden enclosure round the new Post-
office was yesterday nearly removed, and iron pallisade
erected. The building now appears to advantage, the si.c
atebe broad and convenient.ingrcolaear:dbytheremoval of houses. All the avenue,
