For the Chesterfield Stakes, on Thursday, Free Lance,
Fraudulent, if he runs, and Sempstress, will manage the stake
among them.
The acceptances for the Goodwood Stakes, fifty-eight in
number, have already appeared in print. They promise a
very interesting race, and, most decidedly, a great betting
one ; the following seven, being very nicely " in," will, no
doubt, furnish the winner, viz.:—Best Bower, Roderick,
Venus, Lightning, Joe Lovell, Libel, and Queen Mab.
For the Liverpool Cup, Milton, Rowena, and Portobello,
look well.
The entries for the Ebor Handicap amount to 114, of
which I expect 57 will accept ; of these, in my opinion, Pagan,
Milton, Roderick, Rowcna, Alamodc,:Vol-au-vent, Poor Sol-
dier, Dr. Husband, Coheiress, Portobello, and the Castaway
filly, will be found the best.
The St. Leger betting is strange, very strange, but it will
be stranger still before the 17th of September; at present, I
see nothing that is likely to beat Pantasa and the Baron over
such a course as that at Doncaster.

CRICKET—KENT AND SUSSEX.
The game was resumed on Saturday morning, and the
betting was " a horse to a hen" upon Kent, but re-
markable enough, the remaining four wickets of Kent
got only 14 runs, and Sussex was put in upon 208.
The first wicket cf Sussex (Deans) fell for 4 runs, the
second wicket for 14 runs, the third for 43, the fourth
for 56 ; and when five wickets were down, Sussex had
succeeded in wiping off upwards of 100 runs. Box and
E. Napper, Esq., playing admirably, and excited the ap-
plause of the spectators. The match terminated at half-
past six, Sussex winning by three wickets :

him. The author, in referring to this singular cha-
racter, says—
In the year 1649 Cromwell visited Ireland in per-
son ; and so impetuous, sanguinary, and successful were
his military enterprises there, that the traditionary cha-
racter which he bears among the native Irish, even at
the present day, partakes less of the splendid fame of
the able chieftain, than of the ghastly renown of a de-
stroying spirit ; and he is remembered, not as an armed
missionary of a civilised cause, but as a being possessing
a preternatural love and power of destruction. He cer-
tainly sproad much misery and desolation throughout
the kingdom, from which the frightful traces of the late
rebellion had not been yet effaced ; and after performing
many acts of exemplary vengeance, he left the Irish
people more repressed than subdued, and more tranquil
than contented. He afterwards summoned a Parliament
at Westminster ; upon which occasion, to show his great
contempt for the independence of Ireland, he summoned
thirty Members from that kingdom as the legislative
vassals, who were to perform on the part of their coun-
try, the last ceremonies of its humiliation. The college
was exempted from any communion in this melancholy
service, as Cromwell did not call upon it to return any
representatives."
The picture of its condition at the Revolution is,
we fear, too true. It was, in fact, the Revolution of
1688 which did so much good in England, that ren-
dered the feuds between Protestants and Catholics in

Ireland almost irreconcileable, as the present state of
the country attests. We quote the following extract
as a proof:—
"The university being again restored to that tranquil-
lity so congenial with its legitimate objects, continued to
pursue its proper duties, and grow calmly upon the pub-
lic favour until the period of the Revolution. It was
then once more unhappily forced into collision with the
political world. That event, which in England renovated
a kingdom without the sacrifice of a citizen, and changed
a dynasty by acclamation, was not as immediately auspi-
cious to the fortunes of Ireland. It plunged that nation
into the calamities of civil war, maintained by parties
equally fierce, and perhaps mutually vindictive ; it re-
tarded the regular course of improvement by the revival
of ancient feuds, or the creation of such as have outlived
the causes that produced them ; and it gave to the fierce
and vulgar love of party, an alarming ascendant over
the exercise of reason and the peaceful spirit of religion,
which has ever since tended to keep the Irish people
divided and unhappy, and amongst these lamentable
consequences, the total ruin of this peaceful seat of
learning had well nigh been completed, as we shall pre
sently make manifest."
We could quote many other interesting particulars
relative to Trinity College, but they would hardly do
justice to the views taken by the author, and we,
therefore, refer the reader to the work itself. It may
be interesting to our readers to know that the Rev.
Charles Wolfe, author of the immortal ode on the
death of Sir John Moore, was educated at this uni-
versity—that he was an intimate friend of the author,
and of his lamented brother, the late John Sydney
Taylor.

MAGAZINES.-CONTINUED.
HOOD'S MAGAZINE.

Mr. Rowcroft, the editor, continues his " Tales of the
Colonies," and in the " Bushranger of Van Diemen's
Land" gives us a ludicrous account of a fight between a
settler and a kangaroo, in which the settler got the
worst of it. The best paper in the Number is " Lady
Barbara's White Rose ; a tale of the Court of King
James the First." The tale is well told, and the interest
is kept up to the last. We are sorry to see this Maga-
zine dabbling in politics—" Corn-laws and Free-trade"
is a tee/muffle of the thousand-times-refuted arguments
of the monopolists—arguments which even the advocates
of the corn-laws in the House of Commons have them-
selves given up as untenable. Can it be that Mr. Row-
croft has engaged the Duke of Newcastle to write for
Hood's Magazine?

COLBURN'S UNITED SERVICE MAGA

ZINE.
This Number opens with an account of" Nelson's second
visit to Naples," and both for the fair fame of Nelson
himself, and for the honour of our common country, we
would that all record of the second visit (during which,
to please an imbecile King and an abandoned woman, the
hero of the Nile consented to the murder of Caraccioli)
could be for ever blotted out of the page of history. We
gladly turn to the next article, " Narrative of a sea trip
to China in the autumn of 1844, by Heathcote Gooch, of
the ship Duke of Bedford," a lively, well written narra-
tive, from which we extract the following account of an
adventure on the homeward voyage with the pirates of
Sumatra

" We came through the Straits of Banca, Sunda, &c., but
not without interruption from the pirates, who infest those
parts, one of whom made an abortive attempt to board us in
the night, by a trick that is now considered rather stale,
though many crews have been murdered through such.
Large portions of earth, covered with long wild grass, and
sometimes with the addition of stumps of trees, are often seen
in the above straits, floating down with the currents. These
the pirates imitate, by constructing a raft, or something of
that description, capable of holding a number of cut-throats,
armed to the teeth, and over whom a covering, well calcu-
lated to deceive strangers, is placed, resembling the floating
masses before named. So prepared, the pirates float down
upon vessels in the night, and having succeeded in boarding
them, proceed to murder the slumbering crew and plunder
the cargo. While off the west coast of Sumatra, about nine
o'clock one evening, one of those dens of infamy was quietly
dropping down on our starboard-bow, when our look-out,
suspecting its true character, ran and reported it to the
officer of the watch. We had two six-pounders ready for
them, besides abundance of small arms, and just as he was
quietly dropping unto our bow, and within nice reach, we
fired a gun to let him know we were not dozing. He still
took no notice, but kept dropping on, thinking he should still
deceive us with the fancy he was only a floating mass of
earth. We now, however, took effectual means to put him
on the right scent, by letting fly the contents of one of our
six-pounders clean through him. We could plainly hear,
by the howling inside, that our present was certainly not a
welcome one. He instantly sheered off, by means of some
contrivance we could not make out, and we saw no more
of him." _ _ _

Captain Hippisley's account of the siege of Oporto in
1832 and 1833 is continued, as is Marshal Marment's
work on Military Institutions. Lieutenant-Colonel
Wilkie's paper on the Defensive Force of Great Britain
contains some valuable hints for forming the yeomanry
cavalry into a really efficient corps. We would com-
mend Capt. O'Connor's paper, entitled " Twelvemonths
Service in Western Africa," to the attentive consideration
of our legislators. It would appear from this, that the
colony of Sierra Leone is of all jobs the grossest. Not
only is it the white man's grave—not only are large
sums of money uselessly squandered annually in main-
taining a staff of officials who have nothing to do, but
instead of being a sanctuary for emancipated negroes,
they are actually kidnapped for the free town itself, and
sold into slavery.
" On one occasion, a soldier of the Royal African Corps,
while on sentry at the east battery, was persuaded to drink
some palm wine, which had been previously drugged ; and,
on awaking from his stupor, he found himself, arms, accou-
trements, and all, a prisoner at the mercy of some Mandinge
slave-dealers. He made such a row, threatened so much,
and fear of the consequences which might follow, operating
at the same time in the robbers' mind, he was put on shore at
a point near a British factory, and from which place he made
his way back again to Sierra Leone."
It is of little use destroying barracoons at Gullinas,
while we maintain at our proper cost a magazine like
Freetown, to which Alandingo slave dealers can resort
whenever they want to replenish their stock. Unless
Captain O'Connor's account be an actual fabrication, no
time should be lost in abandoning the colony altogether
—at all events, we hope the Legislature will, during the
course of the ensuing session, institute a searching in-
quiry into its state and prospects. There are also seve-
ral valuable papers on strictly professional subjects in
the present number of this magazine.

THE RAILWAY REGISTER FOR JULY.
The eighth Number of this useful record of engineering
and public enterprise for railways, canals, harbours,
steam navigation, &c., improves upon its predecessors,
and contains a great deal of information respecting se-
veral important public works both in this country and
abroad. Well-executed maps are published with several
of the articles, for the purpose of rendering the details
of projected railways more intelligible, among which we,
may mention " Railways in India," "Belgian Railways,:
" Great Eastern and Western Railway," and the " Lei-
cester and Bedford Railway." We extract the follow-
