spltit Ireett to yesterday's S*AIL The ft:hinting ars'eltaUL
bhtting oil the St.*Lrger has this year been id extiodfdlailif
as almost to exceed belief. Cleveland has bee:seise shied
of speculation, and about him the fluctuations front last Mdse r
Rams to the Ws* time have been unprecedented ; every vas-
oeuvre has been restitted to, in older to mate him a adurce of pre-
fit: ease day he has been tbroern bath, and the nett brought up,
thus giving the knowing nee a certainty- of pining if he won, and
of nut losing if he was, beat ; in fact; technically he has bees a good
look horse, and his afforded
orded ample scope for the inventive and cal-
,ndating qualifications of the Balt and aelfs of the Sethi( Mom.
lie has also been the source of speculates be all pant et the coun-
try, where nothing but Cleveland was thought et; he was put
down as safe to win, the others being entirely eat di the question:
The other favourites have also been very exteadiPely "notated on{
bat the betting about them has been chiefly guided by public run-
ning. Memnon, in particulit, hat not varied Rees his station si
first fairourite, except fir a few days (when Clevaladd headed hie)
since the last St. Leger. He was brought into Sigh favour by his -
success at the last Meeting, and confirmed in it by Ms sishosonwit
performances. About Homer nothing definite WM Minhdi *eb
York Meeting, when he won the SO soy. stakes; ibis breoght blot
up, and by a great many good kedges he was booted to wleflOot
others considered that be was toe fleshy, and heeled that he eras'
roarer, but this we doubt, as be came in for the
stakes quite fresh. His trial With Figaro was said to be fav
and rose him greatly in the betting list, but the defeat of that Sera
by Lottery was calculated to remove that impresidon, and be
would very probably have receded, but for King Cartes (by the
same she) winning the Champagne yesterday ; he is a very power
ful horse, and capable of a deal of wear and tear.
We now come to the Races, which were this day admirably con-
ducted. The business of the Course was, notwithstanding the
crowd, well executed, and accidents prevented.
The Races commenced with the Two Year Old Produce &alit,
which, with the others, will be found accurately detailed below

Previous to running, Mr. Lockwood, the judge, west down into
the weighing-room, and addressed the jockies (30), saying, that he
wished at this very important moment that everything relating to
the running should be governed In the most upright mainer. After
this the different horses were mounted; each taking his winter,
jockies trying their stirrups, &c. and a lapse et ri salmon seaweed
before they all got together; which gave the spieelatees an ewe&
malty of viewing the movements and eegahilisise d the horses, /ad
thereby coming to a final determined= le their betting. After
a great deal of marching and counter-mataketh mid wheeling about
to get into a proper line, at twelve minute. beton three o'clock the
-word sr was given, and they started, but it was step, and back
they came. Having to work themselves into line before they could
be brought into re-action, in three minutes and a half thesignal was
repeated, and all was right.
Dauntless jumped off and made severe riming to the but, then
came up Brother to Addy, who continued the race at a lashing
rate, to the Red House, where most of the wagged Gees dropped
off; then Memnon came in front, closely followed by Alderman,
and between these two there was fine running till nearly home, when
Memnon shot a-bead, and wen the great St. Leger by several •
lengths. It was a beautiful race, and the greatest part oit was
finely contested.

Ri-dgatantlet might have had a better station in all probibility bad
he not unavoidably run again* a post placed In a socket, to spew the
Course inn distant part of it, and which be broke to pieces. The
Lou. has materially ined his kg and foot, but Itobluson escaped
uninjured. Fleur de Us fell (crossed, as report says, by a north
country jockey,) and over him dropped Rim. but luckily neither
the riders nor horses were injured.
Such was the crowded situation of this race, that Armin, who
rode Brother to Addy, and many others, were absolutely obliged
to place their knees and legs along the horses' shoulders and necks,
having no possible means of riding otherivise. W. Scott rode
Memnon. The ground was run in 3 minutes and, 24 seconds.

THE TURF AND RING.
There *ere yesterday at the several town sporting-houses strong
musters of those of the fancy who speculate on both the Turf and the
Ring, early accounts of the Doncaster St. Leger being expected. At
one of these resorts there was an eagerly expected arrival from
Herefotd, where the object of the mission had been " to feel the
pulse of the natives," and see what prospect there might be of a
Ntht, and the probable result between Spring. who has lately settled
there as an innkeeper, and Jan Ward, the Bast-end Champion, and
recent conqueror of Cannon. Five distinct fighting articles of .
agreement are placarded between Robinson and Jennings; Hill
and Donovan; Rough Robin and Gybletts ; Young Gas and Reu-
ben Martin ; Jones and the present Dutch Sam. The long expected
battle between Curtis and Barney Aaron will, it is supposed, net
take place. , •

SHOCKING ACCIDNNT.--.ThiS morning a most dread-
ful accident happened at the house at Mr. Lemate,
Kieg-sweet, St. James's. Some men were repairing
the front of the house, when a board of the scaffolding
giving way, they were precipitated to the ground, and
were taken up in a dreadful state; one of them had
his skull fractured and one arm broken ; another, a
very young man. had his back broken : they were
carried to the Infirmary in a lifeless state. •
Flass.—The unique cottage at Speen, Herts, the
seat of CICIL Tnomrsou, Esq. was destroyed by fire
on Tuesday night, and not a vestige of proper? was
staved. The family were alarmed at twelve o clock,
and the inmates had difficulty in making a safe retreat.
—A very alarming and destructive fire broke out in
the rick-yard of Hem Dowse, Esq. on Friday
twitting last, about nine o'clock, in a hay-stack, at
Ryde Farm, Ripley, Surrey, which at first threatened
destruction to four other r cks, and the barns filled with
wheat and other grain ; but by the prompt and kindly
assistance of gentlemen farmers and neighbours,amongst
whom was the Hon. Mr. Krim; the other property was
saved from the raging element, which continued until
Monday mid-day. The rick was destroyed.
