THE DIiKE OF CLARENCE AND EAST-
INDIA DIRECTORS.--(From a Correspondent. )--The
Court of Directors of the East-India Company have come
to a resolution to place their Marine (or naval) establish-
ment in India on a more equitable and respectable footing,
by obtaining a brevet rank for their officers which may
entitle them to command according to their seniority,
when serving with King's ships, in the sarne manner as
their land-forces do when acting with the Royal Army.
For this purpose a Post-Captain of the Royal Navy is to
be selected as the head or Commodore of their naval force,
with the view to recommend officers for promotion, and
to regulate that service upon the same principles and footing
that exist in the navy of Great Britain. His Royal High-
ness the Lord High Admiral has, it is said, declared his
generous and disinterested intention not to interfere in the
nomination of an officer for this command, which is left to
the Court of Directors, as the Royal Duke thinks ‘, it
would be unhandsome, and might be invidious, in His
Royal Highness to meddle with the patronage which be-
longs to that Court." .

EXETER, SEPT. 15.—OPENING 011 THE
CANAL.—This event, so important to our commercial in-
terests, took place yesterday; and the Mayor and Corpo-
ration, to whom we arc indebted for the execution of the
work, • very properly marked it by a public celebration. At
nine o'clock the Mayor and Chamber, accompanied by the
Members of the City, Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, the Rev.
Dr. Palmer, and several other friends, with a band of
music, proceeded in a barge from the quay to the mouth of
the new canal, when the locks were opened, and the cere-
mony of passing through and returning took place, amidst
the 'firing of cannons ; after which the Large returned to
the quay, and the company proceeded to Street's Hotel,
where a splendid dinner was
provided. It was intended
that the schooner Despatch should be the first vessel to
enter the works, but she was prevented, in consequence of
an almost unprecedented low tide, occasioned by a strong
northerly wind. A very large concourse of the citizens was
lama.

SPORTING trertLuGENtE.

bONCASTgR MEETING, 1887.

DONCASTER, SUNDAY NIGHT.

The new subscription betting-rooms are opened on a
scale of great magnificence, several hundred pounds having
been expended in fitting them up ; the three chandeliers
alone cost about 700/. They are crowded every evening
by the most respectable members of the tad.
We have made inquiry, and find that the muzzle will be
put to-morrow night on the following, and that of course
they will all start if nothing particular happens :
Mameluke, Granby, Matilda, Lunaria, Medoro, Sancho,
Malek, Nivalis, Kit-Cat, Pedler, Fylde, Translation, Bur-
lador, Popsy, Moonshine, Pelican, Laurel, Hartpury,
Sarah, Byram colt, Spondee, Jupiter, Foijambe's filly,
Olivera colt, Antiope colt, Emma.

James Robinson rides Matilda, and W. Scott Granby:
all the crack Newmarket jockies are here.
A match has been made for 1,000 guineas between
Mamelake and Granby, the condition being, that if.either
party declared off to-day he should forfeit-100 guineas;
neither party hating done so, the match will be run on
Friday next. _ _

The new betting-rooms were crowded to-night, and
some heavy business was done. It seemed to be the cur-
rent opinion that nothing will have a chance but Mame-
luke and Granby, and small odds are offered to be taken
that they will be backed before the day at 6 to 4 against
the field. So near was Granby to Mameluke last night,
that Lord Kilburn took him at evens for 3,000 guineas.
Some important changes have taken place amongst the
leading horses, to whom the betting is confined. The odds
on the course this afternoon, and at the new rooms this
evening, were as follows :
nto 1 agst Mamel•ike (takers 20 to 1 agst Iledora
in small sums 30 to I agst Tit Cat
7 to 2 agst Granby 30 to 1 agst Moonshine
14 to 1 agst Matilda lditto 30 to 1 agat Sancho ;r•
15 to I agst Lunaria 30 to I egg., Nivalis 5
20 to 1 agat Reviewer (no tak.) 50 to 1 agat Nonplus • ,
