The Earl of Sefton, from Arlington-street, for his seat, Stoke
Farm, Berks ; the Earl of Rosslyn, from town ; the Countess of
Rothes, and Ladies Mary and Elizabeth Leslie, from the Pul-
teney Hotel, Albemarle-street, for Bedfordshire ; the Earl of
Fife, from ditto, for the Royal Lodge, Windsor ; Mr. and Mrs.

The Bank of Ireland has given orders to their
Branches in the country not to issue letters of credit at
sight on Dublin, as heretofore; such letters of credit are
now made payable at ten days after date. In consequence
of which, the facility afforded to the country merchants re-
mitting loyment of their bills due in Dublin has been much
curtailed.— Dublin Morning Register.

The Chancery suit in which Mr. 'WELLES-
LEY has cut such a figure is now likely to terminate. The
daughter of that gentleman by his deceased wife is to be
under the care of the Duchess of WELLINGTON, and his
two sons under the care of Mr. COURTENAY, once a
master in Chancery, and now clerk to the House of
Lords. The Duke of WELLINGTON and Mr. WELLESLEY
have, it is said, adjusted their differences and shaken hands.

SIMPLICITY.—Major R- was not long
since riding near a building which presented to his ad-
miring gaze a fine specimen of antique Saxon architecture.
Desirous to learn something respecting it, he made some
inquiries of a man, who as it happened was the souter of
the village. This learned wight informed the inquisitive
stranger that the building in question was reckoned a noble
specimen of Gothic architecture, and was built by the
Romans, who came over with haws Claws. " Friend,'.
said the Major, "you make anachronisms." " No, no,
Sir," replied the man, "indeed I don't make anachronisms,
for I never made any thing but shoes in my life." —.Mirror.

Letters were received yesterday from Norwich,
which state that one of the most respectable of the in-
habitants shot himself yesterday at half-past two o'clock.
The place was, in consequence of rumours concerning the
cause, thrown for a time into the greatest confusion and
agitation. A run on the Banks took place ; but this was
unattended with any serious consequences. Expresses
were immediately sent off to London to acquaint the town
correspondents with the events which had transpired, and
to avert the evil consequences which might otherwise have
taken place.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 13.—A gallant captain, at
present quartered in this garrison with an ex-sheriff of a
county not one hundred miles distant, and another com-
panion, got themselves into a very serious scrape last
Thursday evening. They were on a " lark," and in the
course of their perambulations brought a " ladye love"
each to a bower of lilies in a place called Pye-corner.
The gallant captain, to his surprise, discovered a young
creature, not fifteen years old, whom he had been intimate
with in some of his country quarters ; she, of course, ex-
hibited no very equivocal signs, of identification, and
burst into a violent fit of sighing and sobbing. The three
companions went up the stairs to one of the apartments,
sent out for whisky to enjoy themselves, and after about
an hour's delay, during which time singing and drinking
formed no inconsiderable share of their amusement, when
retiring they met the mother abbess, and said to her,
" You'll have reason to know us again." The woman
afterwards went unsuspectingly up stairs, and discovered
the bed which was in the room on fire in four different
places—feather bed, bed clothes, mattress, bedstead, cur-
tains, all in a blaze. With the greatest difficulty the fire
was got under. The worst of the matter was, it was
next door to a widows' alms-house, and, in case of the
fire extending, nothing could have saved the poor helpless
inmates from destruction. On Friday night the three
lads went again to the same house to see how their work
succeeded. Mother KELFOYLE, on recognising them,
called the watch, and the prisoners were then taken, and
led into durance vile, by a host of Charlies that would be
almost sufficient to capture another Adrianople; nor
would any bail be taken for them, as it was a direct charge
of arson that was brought against them. Counsel on
both sides appeared yesterday morning at the police-
office. After a good deal of discussion the felonious in..
tentions were foregone, the case resolving itself into ono
merely of compensation.-.-Morning Paper.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

DONCASTER MEETING 1829.

DONCASTER, MONDAY NIGHT.-When we sent off onr
parcel last night the weather was so extremely fine, and
had been all day, that the most weather-wise ventured to
predict that it would last throughout the meeting. Scarcely,

however, had our account left the town, before these very
agreeable anticipations were wofully disappointed : a few
large drops gave notice of the change, and in a few mi-
nutes were followed by one of the heaviest and most con-
sistent storms that we have had for weeks past : it did not
merely rain—it descended in torrents for at least eight or
ten hours. The effect of the rain will render the turf so
heavy that none but strong horses will be able to get
through it. It will give his Majesty's mare an advantage,
for her running at Goodwood proved her ability to get
through deep ground. She is now on her own ground,
and is in great favour with the Yorkshire people, who
turn up their noses at " your Zinganee," who they say is
a bad gallopper and has no teach. They are also sweet
upon Laurel, who, besides being in better trim than he
has been all the season before, is allowed to run better here
than any were else. Looking, therefore, at these two, at
Granby, Medoro, Deiphine, and the largeness of the field,
the north country knowing ones are in astonishment at the
place Zinganee holds in the betting. There appears to be
some doubt about Chifney's riding him, for Dockeray, who
is also here, is said to have come expressly for that pur-
pose ; Arnull is also here, and is likewise said to be re-
tained, so that Lord Chesterfield has three jockies for one
horse, and neither of them can say which will be chosen :
with so perfect a knowledge of the horse, and such extra-
ordinary talent, there can be no doubt that the public
would prefer him to any other jockey. The famous " dark"
or " unknown horse," Altirphy has been here some days,
having been brought for the express purpose of running
for the cup, and some of the plates. By some unaccountable
neglect or misapprehension, his trainer suffered the
time for entering to go by without rutting down the horse,
so that he is now here without the least chance of coming
out. The trainer and many others had backed him for
the cup, play or pay, and there is great probability that he
would have puzzled some of the cracks. Since our last the
town has received an accession of visitors to some hundreds
in number; carriages and four have been rattling in every
minute, enabling us to give the following addition to the
li,t of arrivals already sent :—Lord Southampton, Lord
Castlereagh, Lord Ranelagh, Lord Kilmaine, Lord W.
Thynne, Lord W. Powlett, Baron Oxenstiern, Count
Montrond, Sir Mark Wood, Sir W. Askew, Admiral
Sotheron, General Sharpe, Hon. T. 0. Powlett, Hon.
G. Anson, Hon. C. Anson, Hon. S. Wortley, Hon. W.
Lascelles, Hon. T. Duncombe, Colonel Clifton, Colonel
Townsend, Colonel Eustace, Colonel Gardner, Colonel
Thoyts, Colonel Athorpe, Colonel Fane, Major Parry,
Major Wood, Major Ellis, Major Yarhurgh, Major Flem-
ing, Captain Stewart, Captain Hibbert, Captain Ew-
bank, Captain Methold, Captain Smith, Captain Buller,
Captain Owen, Captain Iryner, Captain Berkeley; Messrs.
Willers, Ladbroke, R. Ewbank, W. Ewbank, R. Milnes,
Nowell, M. Stapylton, Gratwicke, Gascoigne, R. Gascoigne,
F. Charlton, Forester, Armitage, Watt, &c. Where so
many are to be accommodated in so small a town, it is
but a reasonable supposition that the inhabitants will make
the most of their visitors ; and to do the Doncaster people
justice, they are not the most backward in the world ; for
instance, four bed-rooms and a sitting-room are 25 guineas
for the meeting, and every horse a guinea far standing :
the Duke and Duchess of St. Alban's pay 50 guineas for
their apartments; Christopher Wilson, Esq. 35 guineas
for his; and there are several others who pay 30, 40, 50,
and in two or three instances 60 guineas. In performance
of our engagement to give a list of the horses likely to run
for the St. Leger, we have made inquiries on the subject,
and are enabled to submit the following statement of those
that, at this period, are expected to come to the post to-
morrow.

*Mr. Robinson's Bolivar—Garbutt
Lord Cleveland's Voltaire—rode by Chifney
Stotforth.--J. Day
• Mr. Forth's Frederick—Owner
The Exquisite—F. Buckle
Lord Langford's Sir Hercules—Conolly
Mr. Ridsdale's Clotilde—Templemaa
Mr. Petre's Rowton—Scott
Mr. J. Scott's Felt—Robinson
Lord Grosvenor's Parnassus—Darling
Duke of Leeds's Rhodacantha c.—Nelson
Mr. Riddell's Lawn Sleeves—Johnson
Lord Kilburn's Georgians colt—F. Boyce
Mr. Nowell's Round-waist—Arnull
*Mr. Attwood's Leonardo—Unknown
Mr. Athorne's Wandering Boy—Jaques
Mr. Earnshaw's Elastic—Hodgson
Sir E. Dodsworth's Young Patrick—Nicholson
Lord FitzwilHam's Sister to Mulatto—Lye
Air. Powlett's Penbill—Unknown
*Mr. Clifton's Don Jose—Ditto
Mr. Gibbeson's Lady Sarah—H. Edwards
Those marked * are doubtful.

They have at last found out that there is nothing the
matter with Sir Hercules, and that his cough was all
moonshine ; he has been backed to some amount in the
course of the day ; those who used their eyes when he
was out must have made a good thing of taking the 12 to
Iso freely offered. Stotforth's legs appear to be very
queer, and it is not quite certain that he will run. Frede-
rick, Rowton, Wandering Boy, Clotilde, Voltaire, the
Exquisite, and Duke of Leeds's colt, are backed freely :
the others are in no great demand.

(Te preserve ourselves from the charge of inconsistency,
it is necessary to state, that the above remarks were made
without reference to this day's running, in fact, before we
went to the race ground.)
The weather was fine till just before the walk over : it
then began raining, and continued, with slight intervals,
the remainder of the day. At the best, however, it was
gloomy, and there is every reason to fear that it will be a
rainy week. The company on the ground was numerous,
and the Grand Stand seemed full enough : still it was not
by any means a brilliant assemblage, nor were the equi-
pages so splendid as usual, the only carriage and six being
that of the venerable Earl Fitzwilliam, who was attended
by two of his stewards on horseback, and eight outriders.
We were happy to see the noble Earl in such improved
health, the more so as it has been in a declining state for
some time.

For the names of the visiters we need only refer to the

lists already given, in which most of the leading fashion-
shies here are included. The Duke of Wellington is ex-
pected to-morrow morning.
The following will be found a correct detail of this day's
sport :--

The Fitzwilliam Stakes of 10 sovs. each, and 20 sovs. added
by the Corporation, for 2 yr. olds, sst. 101 h. ; 3 yrs.,
Sst. ; 4 yrs., 9st. ; 5 yrs., 9st. 61b. ; 6 yrs. and aged,
9st. 1011). One mile and half.
Mr. Ridsdale's ch. c. Tyke, by Tramp, 3 yrs 1
Lord Chesterfield's b. c. :Zinganee, 4 yrs 2
Lord Cleveland's br. c. Tamboff, 3 yrs
Lord Sligo's b. c. by Cannon-Ball, 3 yrs 4
Lord Fitzwilliam's Dora, 3 yrs pd
Mr. Golden's Robin Hood, 5 yrs
So little were Tyke and the other two who were op-
posed to Zinganee thought of, that to have talked of the
possibility of their heating Zinganee would have appeared
a species of insanity ; however, tempted by the odds, some
of the Yorkshire people (who have all along disputed the
claim of the Newmarket pet to the high character accorded
to him) had the temerity (as it was considered) to have a
little on their own country nags, and according the 5 to 2
and 3 to 1 of the south country gentlemen were taken to
some amount. At starting the odds were 5t02 on Zin-
ganee, and sto 1 agst Tyke. When the horses came to
the post it struck us that Zinganee was a shade too fat,

nor was his galloping in the same form as we saw at As-
cot ; indeed, they now say that Chifney declined riding
him from a conviction that he was not exactly up to the
mark. Tamboff made first play at a middling pace, Lord
Sligo's being second to him : Tyke well laid in, and the
" crack" last on the look out; they remained in this posi-
tion till near the rails, when an improved pace brought
about a change in the places. Zinganee now began to
show himself; he first went by Lord Sligo's horse, which
had just fallen behind Tyke; he then got to evens with
Tyke, and when at the distance Tamboff cried peccavi,
and joined Lord Sligo's in the rear. Zinganee and Tyke
ran a very severe race home, the Yorkshire horse winning
by about half a bead ; rode by Templeman, Zinganee by
Arnull, Tamboff by J. Day, and the other by Shepheid.
Some are of opinion that Arnull waited too long : we do
not think so.

The Champagne Stakes of 50 sovs. each, h. ft. ; for 2 yr
old colts, Bst. ; fillies, Bst. Sib. 114 A House in.

ttwood's br. c. Penthesilia, by Dr. Syntax

All the' above ran, only three being placed by the
Judge. The following paid :-..-Mr. Petre's The Majoi,

Mr, Dowbiggin's e. by Figaro, Mr. Houldsworth's Beagle,
Mr. Houldsworth's f. Blackberry, Lord Fitzwilliam's f.

hir. Watt's Apuntodor, Mr. Wormald's Bullet, Mr.
Jaque's e. i.y Swiss out of Comedy, anti Mr. Westgarth's
General Honeywood.
Forth's was thought as little of for this as he was for
the Derby, and his winning it was quite as great a sur-
prise. So remote was his chance considered, that S, 9,
and 10 to 1 were laid against him. They little dreamt of
his having such a promising bud. At starting the odds
were, 3 to 1 agst Redstart, 3 to 1 agst Riddell's, 6 to 1
agst St. Nicholas, 6 to 1 agst Brunswicker, '7 to 1 agst
Brine, and Bto 1 agst the winner. Redstart and Mr.
Riddell's were the leading horses at going off, the others
lying at their heels, well up, with the exception of Bud,
who was completely in the rear, not having started with
the others. They continued in this order till they were
near the distance, by which time Forth had contrived to
fin•l his way through the crowd ; he then went right
a-bead of all the others, the above two falling off, Bruns-
wicker and St. Nicholas taking up their ground; the rest
of the race was all in favour of Forth, who won very cle-
verly by half a length, St. Nicholas being a length and a
half or two lengths behind Brunswicker. After the race,
Forth complained that the other jockies had gone off with-
out receiving the usual signal from Mr. Lockwood, by
which he was not only shut out, but was actually obliged
to start by himself,—and it is no small credit to him that
he won under such disadvantages. The horse is in the
2-year-old stakes on Thursday, and in the Derby, and
with good management this " Bud" will end in a rich
blossom. The value of the stakes above described is
9251. The winner rode by Forth, Brunswicker by Scott,
St. Nicholas by Robinson, Redstart by Nelson, Lady
Mowbray (who cone in !ast) by Darling, Mr. Powlett's
by Lye, Mr. Riddell's by Johnson, Mr. Tariton's by Tem-
pleman, Brine by Cenolly, and Penthesilia by H. Edwards.

Six to four on Ballad Singer. Terror took the lead
at steady four-mile running, Gascoigne's next him, and
Ballad Singer about a couple of lengths astern of him.
This was the order of running till they were near the
Red House, in their second rourad : the mare then began
to draw upon the Louisa colt, and indulged by her dimi-
nutive rider, " Mr. Thomas Lye," was well up with her
horses at the Red !louse. She remained with them till
they were at the distance, where Tommy turned himself
round, gave them one of his " winning" smiles (or grins,
for he has not the merriest face in the world), and had all
the rest of it to him,elf. Gascoigne's colt pulled up some
lengths from the chair, and Terror (rode by Darling)
came home in a most pitiable state of distress. Johnson
rode Mr. Gascoigne's.

His Majesty's Plate of 100 guineas—four miles.
Lord Scarborough's Cambridge walked over.
Mr. Ridsdale's Master Burke, Mr. Houldsworth's Ter-
ror, Mr. Watts's Coulon, and Mr. Haworth's Brenda were

We have never been amongst those writers, if
any such there are, who attribute the distress now unhap-
pily eo prevalent in the manufacturing districts to a single
cause. The distress in question arises, in fact, from a
complication of causes, the principal of which is the great
amount of taxation, aggravated by the change in the cur-
rency. But the more immediate cause we take to be over-
production. This, however, is, in reality, nothing more
than the effect of over-taxation, which, reducing the rates
of profit, by rendering people less capable of purchasing
manufactured articles, has induced the manufacturers to
increase their business in order to keep up their incomes,
though they thereby, in the end, only added to the evil.
In this way, too, foreign markets hare been glutted with
goods; and thus we see over-taxing has led to over-
trading. The introduction of machinery has greatly in-
creased the facility of carrying on this work of mischief.
It has enabled the manufacturer to produce goods ad libi-
tum, and at the same time it has lowered the rate of
wages, and thus rendered the labouring classes less ca-
pable of purchasing them. By the bye, we hear a great
deal from the political economists, about the depreciation
of the value of labour, in consequence of the emigration
of the Irish ; but we never bear a word from them about
the depreciation of the value of labour in consequence of
the use of machinery. An Irishman, it is said, and said
truly, will work for less than an Englishman, because he
is content to be worse fed and worse clothed ; but it should
be recollected, that an Irishman can only do the work of
one man, and he must be fed and must be clothed in some
way or other, whereas some machines will each do the
work of several men, while they neither require clothing
nor feeding. Thus does machinery, while it creates more
goods than can possibly be created by manual labour, tend
to destroy the market for the disposal of such goods.—
Morning Herald City Article.

On Friday evenino. last, Mr. NATHAN
Garrott made his appearance in the streets,. steering his
new steam-carriage, which appeared to move at the rate
of six or seven miles an hour. He entered the town over
Blackfriars-bridge, proceeded through the Market-place,
up Market-street, along Mosley-street, King-street, Deans-
gate, and Bridge-street, homewards. The vehicle was
followed by immense crowds of people, and occasionally
stopped to take up and set down passengers, who seemed
very much pleased with the treat of riding upon this novel
conveyance. The quantity of smoke emitted was much
less than we have ever seen from the carriage on former
occasions.—Manchester Guardian.

CHESTER MUSIC MEETING.---The last
evening Concert took place on Thursday. BRAHAM'S
Alexis, MALIBR A N'S Uno voce, and PATON'S own ex-
quisite ballad, Jock o' Hazledean, were greatly admired,
and were the chef d'cruvres of the evening. MoRI and
lslicnot,son, in their respective concertos, were greatly ef-
feciive, as was PnaLlys in Of in the stilly night.
