NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.
MONDAY AFTERNOON.—The numerous additions that
the racing stables have received in the course of the last
two or three days, the fulness of the entries for the
Plates and Handicap runs this afternoon, the continued
fineness of the weather, and the appearance on the heath
of a very large and fashionable assemblage, give us
most satisfactory assurance that the Meeting will
fail in none of the essentials to success. The
first race this afternoon was fixed for half-past
twelve -- rather earlier than usual on the first day
of a Meeting, but not too early to interrupt
the customary routine. The exercise ground
was crowded at the usual hour, and an im-
mense number of horses were out ; breakfast
followed, and at eleven the ring was formed in front of
the rooms ; the Cesarewitch, of course, was the only
event speculated upon to any extent. The prices up to
twelve o'clock, at which hour an adjournment was moved
and carried, were 7 to 2 agst Belissima, 10 to 1 agst
Heslington, 12 to 2 agst Portrait, 14 to 1 agst Arcanus

CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday evening an in-
quest was held at St. George's Hospital, Hyde Park-
corner, before Mr. Higgs, on the body of Richard
Pountney, aged 25, late groom to Mr. Barlow, the
Kensington Magistrate. It appeared from the evi-
dence of a number of witnesses, that on last Friday
afternoon the deceased left his master's stables with
two horses, for the purpose of exercising them ; when
in the Kensington-road the horse he was leading
shyed at something and got away from him. The
deceased followed after the animal at a rapid rate,
when the horse on which he was mounted struck his
shoulder violently against one .of the hind corners of
a Hammersmith omnibus, which knocked him down.
The deceased being thrown on his head, was taken
up in an insensible state, and conveyed to the hospital,
where he expired a few hours afterwards. On exami-
nation of the body the skull was found to be exten-
sively fractured, and the brain lacerated.—Mr. Bar-
low, who was present during the inquiry, said that
the deceased had received strict orders not to take out
two horses together for exercise, which, having dis-
obeyed, had led to the calamity. The horses were
high-spirited, but did not possess any vice.—Verdict,
" Accidental death," deodand Is.
