HAMPTON RACES,-SATORDATIBULD DAY.

This was >t sort of volunteering day, no Matches being dud.
INA the Kingston Stakes of to guineas each, for plioways of all
ages being the only race named. It was nearly four o'clock be-
fore a sidadent number of galloways, namely live, were entered,
and some of thew could not beast of much pretensions to blood
or bone The race, however. afforded seine amusement, but
was easily woo by a grey galloWay, the property of a Gentleman
Darned ibbroun. One of the boys was so a>fueh asbamed of the
animal which it fell to ids lot to ride, that he jumped from his
back in the middle of his career, and left him to pursue his course
akar, which he did with great judgment, making his way into
the Crown and Anchor Tavern. After this there weie a few
bye matches, but none of any great interest.
* PtlGlLlnie INTELLIGINCL —Carter, for a bet of
twenty guineas a side, has undertaken to beat Robin-
son, the men of colour, in half an hour, on Wednes-
day next, the day when Lazarus and Curtit.fight,,--
Robinson was completely disposed of in his former 1
battle with Carter in 17 minutes, The backers of 1
the Black, however, observe, that he was then out of,
condition, and scarcely in a state of temperance when
he entered the ring. Scroggins and Hall, it is ex.
pected, will Shortly contend for a large sum, and the
money will be made good in a few days.—Dutch'

Saturday morning, between six and seven, two men,
dressed as plumbers, knocked at the door of a house
In Devonshire-place, Paddington, and requested to
examine the pipes, stating, that as the main pipe had
burst, they might Ix inundated, the credulous servant
admitted them, and whilst one of them pretended to
look at the pipes, the other managed to carry off a
silver jug and snuffers' stand. It would be prudent,
where the establishment is small, for the servant to
answer inquiries from the area, at such times as the
family is not in the lower part of the house.

weather yesterday the Park was but thinly attended
'by pedestrians. The equestrian cavalcade falls off
daily. The Fashionable World have nearly deserted
it, which can only he ascribed to the multitude of

The county of Sussex has, for several weeks, been
much alarmed by the story of a strange animal, re-
sembling a wolf, which has been seen upon the
Downs, and which has committed various depreda.
dons upon the socks. Some wag at Ditcheling,
taking advantage of the above circumstances, stuffed
the skin of a donkey, one day last week, which, with
the addition of a goat's head, he placed, unobserved,
in a field where an old man was busily engaged at
work. The individual in question soon espied the
dreadful monster, and quickly hastened to the vil-
lage to give the alarm. The inhabitants instantly
armed themselves, and. surrounded the field, while
two or three veteran► ventured into the retreat of the
supposed sleeping animal, and after using their runs-
kits with incredible correctness, the hoax was disco.
tiered, to the no small discomfiture of the parties
concerned.

The following occurred in the middle of the Atlan.
tic Ocean :—Ott board a vessel returning from the
West Indies, on a fine evening the passengers and crew
were amusing themselves with catching dolphins ;
the line they used was a marline one with hooks fixed
to strong iron wire. A dolphin of a large six: was
booked which they were not able to haul on board
with the hand ; while they were getting the line reev.
ed through a block, another dolphin same, and seeing
the struggles of the one hooked, attacked the line,
bit the wire in twain. and released its companion.
At the General Sessions of the Peace and Gaol
Delivery for the town and port of Dover, and the
limbs and precincts of the same, held at the Guild-

spinster, and stealing therefrom one ifilo and three
ftl notes; one guinea, 15 shillings, one metal watch

Death. There was another indictment against the
prisoner for larceny.—The Itscoausa addressed the
prisoner in a most impressive speech upon the enor-
mity of his offence, and recommended him to use the
little time he bad to live in making his peace with
the ALMIGHTY. The MAYOR then proceeded td pass
the awful sentence of the law upon him, to be execut-
ed on Friday, the 12th day of July next.—The pri-
soner is a fine looking young man, only 2$ years of
age, and during the time of his trial and the passing
of his semence,ife appeared but little affected.
