MI NEW 111111141 ROOMS.

Some sharp betting took place this evening, at the above rooms,
and was in a *Tight degree influenced by the running fur the 'Thou•
Lind Guineas Stakes; the Duke of GraftOn's fillies being backed, ib
a lot, at 15 to I ; the Brown Duchess filly, which bas be:curtained
Toso, does nut seem to take so well as at first might have been ex-
pected ; indeed, the mere beating of such things as she ran against,
amounts to little better than nothing ; but the manner in which she
did so, was every thing. One observation pressed itself, by the
running of the last Alla the present Meetings, viz.—that the Oaks
fillies are remarkably good (we mean those which have so often
been winners), and that those,Derhy horses which have already ap•
peered, are not a jot better than last year's lot.
. The closing 041411 were thus—

ECCLESIASTICAL DISCIPLINE.—The Synod of Lothior.
and Tweeddak were chiefly occupied, at their meeting on To iid ,
with a case of some consequence, as involving a matter of cedes...,
deal discipline. The point at issue was, whether a Clergyman cr. t
lawfully refuse the ordinance of baptism to a member of the Eit--
blisbed Church, who absents hinsseit from the stated minittratioi,
of that Clergyman, and attends other places of wur-hip ? Aft,:
great deal of discussion, the Synod decided in the affirmative.

a man falling and breaking his kg.
MORTALITY AMONG SHEEP. —During the heavy snots
storm of last week, the poor sheep were everywhere hard pres..,d
for food, and the ewes, many of thrum having OW, year &opt Red:,
could not give them sufficient itourishinent ; the consequence
that some of them died, while it many instance, the shephett. ,
foreseeing that consequence, relieved manic by destroying one o.
the mi.' produce. This had even been resorted tO where the eiwi •
were weak, while no snow was on the ground. In the pastifraz•
Arthur's Seat, there were lost last week twenty lambsanu
three sheep—not in consequence of the severity of the weather, bus.
