JACOBITE RELICS.

BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, FEB. 12.
The Subscription Room was not well attended, and but few en.
gagements were made. We account for the slackness of hettint-.,
from horses, as is customary at this season of the, year, being p,i
in physic, with only gentle exercise; and until they resume their
gallops and strong work, adventurers on the Turf will not be tor.
reedy enabled to form arrangements for further speculation. The
alterations in the different Stakes are little or none, and for the pre-
sent general state of odds we refer our Sporting Readers to our cull
Report of Monday last.

Sir George Sitwell's Fox-hounds meet on Tuesday, at ScareiE
Park ; Friday, at Norton.
Mr. Meynell's Fox-hounds meet Monday, at Longford; T!'urt.

A fallow deer is to be turned out ors Thursday next, at Griner-
cliffe by Mr. F. Fawkes's Harriers.

day, and Friday, at Patcham, near the Race Course, and also a!
the Dyke.

FOOT RACE FOR ONE HUNDRED SOVEREiGNS.

An interesting match for the above sum took place yesterday, on
the Harrow-road, without training, between Captain Smith and
Mr. Thelluson. The distance was ten miles over two miles ct
ground, each starting at different ends. The performance was of .1
first rate kind, and accomplished as follows :
Ma. THZLLUION. M. S. CAPS. SMITH. M. S.
ISt two miles in 1S 3 Ist two miles in 12.

The race was an excellent one until the last half tlle,when
Captain Smith finding he could not win walked in. Much Ironer
was lost on time, as it was thought neither could perform the dis-
tance in sixty-two minutes.

It is yet within the recollection of many, when any
manifestation of affection to the memory of the house
of STUART was looked on by the constituted authorities
with a jealous eye. Now, MAJESTY himself deigns to
express an interest in the memory of this ill-fated family;
and it is well known he is one of the most ardent ad-
mirers of the traditionary lore and songs which perpe-
tuate their exploits and their existence. In many parts
of the Highlands there still exists a sort of romantic
attachment to their memory—a tinge of affectionate
feeling, similar to that which a lover has, when he
sighs over the recollection of the beloved object of hs
early attachment, cut off in the sunny morning of exist-
ence. These reflections have been suggested by a cir-
cumstance which happened at the sea-port town of To-
bermorry, on the 13th ult: A vessel had ars ived from
the Clyde, having on board two immense cast-iron
plates, with approptiate inscriptions, designed to orna-
ment the monument erected at Loch Shia, in com-
memoration of Prince CHARLES having there; amidst
the gathering clans, first unfurled the standard of re-
'hellion in 1745. The plates were of such weight and
' magnitude that the shipmaster was in no small difficulty
how to get them landed in safety; but from this di-
lemma he was fortunately relieved by the enthusiasm of
the town piper, who, being present, proposed to array
himself in the national costume, and with his pipe rouse
the population to assist in the work. He did so effec-
tually ; for, having commenced playing the pibroch of
the Prince's welcome, the warm-hearted Gaels assem-
bled in a body, and having marched through the town,
proceeded to the quay, where, animated by their na-
tional music, they, amidst loud cheering, landed in
safety the valued articles.
The late Mr. Macdonald, of Glenaladale, the lamented
Gentleman by whose order the above monument has
been erected, died in early youth, and his enthusiastic
mind found pleasure in perpetuating the memory of an
attempt, which, however ill-planned and reprehensibie,
is in its details considered so interesting by the preser:t
generation, that perhaps no passage of British history
is more eagerly perused than that which records its com-
mencement ; the brilliant features of its short-lived suc-
cess ; and its final doom upon the field of Culloden. N.

The following anecdote, told by the Captain of a
whale ship which was at Valparaiso, shews of what un-
shaken fortitude the hardy sons of Neptune are pos-
sessed, and what indifference they evince even under
the severest misfortunes: " One morning," says be,
" as we were cruising about in search of whales, we
espied a fine-looking one, and at no great distance from
us. We immediately manned four boats, and soon came
up to this monster of the deep, which proved to be a
whale of the sperm kind. We attacked him, and in
return for a death-wound which we inflicted, he, as is
frequently the case with these ferocious animals, stove
one of the boats. In the confusion which ensued, one
poor fellow unluckily came within reach of the whale,
who, although in the agonies of death, made shift to
draw one of his legs into his mouth. The thigh was
pierced with one of his tusks, and consequently broken.
Luckily for the sailor, however, the whale began to
gasp, which afforded him an opportunity to escape from
the jaws of immediate death. On being carried to the
ship, it was found necessary to amputate the leg above
the joint, which operation was borne with the greatest
equanimity. Shortly after (continued the Captain) I
asked him what were his feelings when he was in the
wha'es mouth? Why,' says he g I thought he might
furnish 60 barrels of pretty good oil !'"
