GORHAMBURY RACES.

The following horses had arrived on Saturday :
Duke of Richmond's The Currier; Mr. Combe's Rosa-
lind; Mr. Beresford's Bob Peel, and Sister to Indolence,
2 yrs ; Mr. J. Bird's c by Redshank, out of Amadis,

out of Esperance, 2 yrs; Mr. Ford's .Ballet and Humbug,
2 yrs ; Mr. Treen's Haitoe ; Colonel Peel's Archy, &c.
The beneficial effect of the late rains will, no doubt,
cause many others to be sent that would otherwise have
been reserved for Epsom. The list promises seven
races each day, some of them heat ; and' we hear
that the first race on Tuesday will be at two o'clock.
This may suit the higher class, but certainly not the
general visitors, as from the delay that invariably arises
out of gentlemen riding, there is no chance of the
sports being finished before six
'. or seven o'clock; taking
into consideration the distance from town, the last heat
ought to be over by five. Lord Verulam will entertain
a large party during tip} races.

ROEHAMPTON G 001 formerly.lived in
the service of the Rev. J. Craig, Vicar of Leauning.on.
The Gazette de-Lausanne relates that a boy of eight
years of age, residing at Chambery, in playing nearing a pre-
cipice, lost his balance, and fell down a perpendicular depth
of 162 feet. At that distance he met the branches of a tree,
which, bending with his weight and afterwards rebounning,
sent him forward 91 feet lower! He was found half an hoar
afterwards, with only a thigh broken and some slight scratches.
He is not considered in any danger.
