worth Stakes at Newmarket, that race tieing much shorter
than the Derby Course.
A finer day, or a more numerous assemblage of beauty and
fashion, was scarcely ever seen than yesterday. • Among the
many distinguished personages present were their Royal
Highnesses the Dukes of York, Cambridge, and Gloucester,
and the Prince of Hesse Homburg, who seemed highly de-
lighted with the sport.

KALMDOSCOPP..—The following curious calcu-
lation has been made of the number of changes
this wonderful instrument will admit :—" Sup-
posing the instrument t• contain 20 small pieces
of glass, &c. and that you make 10 changes
in each minute, it will take the inconceiv,
able space of 462,880,899,570 years and 360
days to go through the immense variety of changes
it is capable of producing ; amounting (according
(0 our 'frail idea of the nature of things) to. an
eternity, Or if you.take only 12 small pieces, and
make 10 changes in each minute, it will then take'
33,264 days, or 91 years and•-49-days;.to exhaust
its variations.

ing, as a poor man of the 'rianie of Rowley. was
passing by 'a gentleman's ' seat at Oldford, a
child which he had in. his arms began to cry for

down on the ground, and climbed on the gate, and
in order to support hintself;laid hold of a large
stone ball which ornamented the top of one of the
pillars, when unfortunately the ball gave way,
and the poor man fell on' his bads, and the stone,
which weighed between 4 and 5 litindied weight,
fell on him, and crushed him to death. The
child, which sat on the ground close by, bad a
very narrow escape of its life.
