tendarnoe at
the
Betting
Rooms last night, was Meek that large as they are.. it was found a
most impossible to accommodate all. Noble Lords were constrained
to st mil upon the tables and ehairs—the passage,' were choaked up
and al was noise and confusion. Of course nothing was tallied of
but the St. Leger, and betting was eery anianate4, without being
so heavy as we have beard at former meetings, which may be attri-
buted perhaps to the presumed certainty of one of the lest two
favourites winning doe stakes. The business did ant close till:
near two o'clock, when the odds had settled tbus:—.2l, to 1 opal
Mameluke; 4 to 1 apt Granby (taken); 15 to 1 apt Matilda
(taken); 17 to 1 apt Lanaria (taken); SS to 1 apt Byram (taken)g
115 to 1 apt Popsy (taken); 1.5 to 1 agst Reviewer • 23 to 1 ogee
Kit Cat ; Si to 1 apt each of the Maoris,
Sancho, and Translation.
• The businessof the night suffered a singular Interruption when It
was at its height. A fellow, thiliklog that in each speculative
times, at such a speculative place, and lu suck speculative company,
speculation of some sort or other, not warranted by Mies must be
on, had given notice to some Magistrate that he should be on
look oat; and had, we are informed, armed himself with the
yof a warrant. He happened, however, to select his time
ildistreetly, for nothing but legitimate gambling weeping on
•wben went upon watch. He had sneaked into some of the
dilioatablishment,aod was an his return from an ineffectual
tsese dm be was discovered, and his friendly intentioas being
immedistely scented, be was greeted with a M View halloo,' and
compelled to run the gauotiss of kicking through the whole com-
pany, the punishment being given with a gusto which must have
Been more relishable to the givers than the receiver.
The new Rooms were again crowded this morning at an early
hour. Betting 'opened as above, and metiellied tolerably brisk till
the race rime commenced; the place then very speedily relapsed
into its natural quiet, and by one o'clock the streets were as free
trim
,passengers as a wilderness. The Weather, till about twelve
ettleck, had been any thing but favourable, it having tined hard ail
the morning; at thi. time, however, it ceased, but was still gloomy
and windy, nor War there any favourable change till a late hour in
the afternoon. The weather had no effect in keeping back the
people ; for long before the races they had settled themselves on the
course, anxious for the Two Yeir-old race (which is always rut,
first, in order that the Leger horses and joekies may have more
time for preparation), that they might have their anxiety relieved mi
the St. kw.. By two o'clock, the Grand Stead presented oft
solid mass. all that ingenuity or perseverance could effect being
crammed into it, and its appearance at this time was very imposing
the number of elegantly dressed Ladies present making it stiU morn
magnificent. The various minor stands fllkd with spectat
the immense crowds which lined the course on both si•
number of splendid equipages, and the many other incidentals of i
race course, gave to the whole a brilliancy of effect which no other
course in the wotkl can produce. To dwell upon the hopes and
fears which agitated those interested in the race up to the tins* of
starting—to describe the extraordinary degreee of excitement occa-
sioned Iv the unusual number of false starts, or tepee the most re.
mote idea of the dishier that followed she actual race, would be a
task 'Mich we willingly leave to others, freely confessing our in-
ability to do justice to it. We shall merely observe, that la the
malty Leger* which. it has been our fortune to witness, the opposite
motion, of hope, fear, jo), and disappointment, were newer more
strongly developed.

Previous to the addling for the St. Leger, and when all the
joekin (twenty-six) were assembled, and had answered to their
aunts, they were addressed by Mr. Lockwood, who requested,
that when they had mounted, they would forma line, parade to the
Grand Stand. and then return to the starting post; he would then
give the customary signal. (a wave of the band Sad •• go,") for start-
ing, and if it 'Should happen to be a false start, they would see a flag
Silo; in the cross-roads. while Its noo-appearance would show that
the start wu good. In obedience to these instructions, the whole
lot paraded to the Stand, but whether it was from the imperfect
manner in which the bac was kept, sr the gloomy state of the wea-
ther, the display was not by any means so effective as we bad
expected. They then went to the post; but here great difficulty
was experienced in getting the horses well together, and some time
was lost before they went of. The brat three starts were false;
In the fourth Mameluke turned restive, kkked, and plunged, so
that Chifney could not get him along; the fifth was also bad, seve-
ral of the horses going as far as the cross-roads before the flag stop-
ped their progress ; another and soother followed ; and it was net
till the eighth time that they went off in earnest. It was then bar
o'elock, and the sun just then dispersing the clouds, which lowered 1
over the course the rest of the day. The race came off as follows.—

The betting before starting did not materially alter the odds, but
when Mameluke began his pranks in the false starts, his backers be-
came alarmed, and were averse to backing him; the odds were
to 2 apt Mameluke, 4 to 1 agst Grandby (taken), ti to 1 apt
Matilda, 20 to 1 apt Popsy (taken freely), 25 to 1 apt Makk,
to 1 agat Reviewer, 30 to 1 apt Lord Scarborough's.' High odds
against any caber. But Mameluke changed places with Granby
just before the last start. and found to backers at 4 to 1.
At the eighth trial they went off, but in the mast irregular min-
tier we ever before witnessed. Matilda took the lead, closely fol-
lowed by Trandation, and the rest at kast 60 yards behind. These
two rattled away for about a mile, Translation having at cue time
beaded, but being beat nff at that distance ; in the meantime Pedlar,
Kit Cat, Laurel, Mameluke, and Granby were gaining ground
every stride; Mameluke In particular, who at starting was nearly the

Head-hill to the Shads Arms, in the Kent-road, within twelve
hours. He started on Tuesday morning at ten o'clock, and arrived

Herculean task in little better than six hour.. The bricks weigh

JOHNNY, TI{E—LWI. IMS BRITHER.

The subject of the following anecdote was the only
brother of Mr. Dempster, of Datinkben, Forfarshire, of which
counry be was representative fir many =recessive Parliaments.—
Pam Johnny was what in common Scottish parlance is called a
haven* viz. a natural foil. But in Johnny s muddied cranium

Indeed her sole pleasure in Rh appeared to. consist in besting and
making others bear the accents of bet melodious tongue. She was,
as usual, spinning a yarn, which Johnny said afterwards Nae doot
it was a meetlklU to say't, bat that wife's clashes hae naetber be-

Johnny relieved the guard, not less to her confusion than to the
maasensent of the company. •O! man. Geordy," says be, ad-
dressing his brother, " I had an awsome dream lest akin." " Had
