DONCASTER MEETING, nu.
DOSCAIPTIM, SIII.DAT NIGH%
By way of prelude to the Sleeting, and partly, no doubt, from
an idea that it would bring some of the visitors here a day sooner,
and thus conduce to the profit of the town, a match was made some
time back. and appointed to be run yesterday ; accordingly it came
off as follows
klatch, 200 sous. h. ft. T. Y. C. Bst. slb. each.

Mr. Robinson's b. f. by Sir Oliver 1
Mr. Ridsdale's ch. f. Susanna, by Figaro 2
In the morning the odds were en Susanna, but as the day ad-
vanced they shifted to S to 4 on the other, who justified the con&
deuce placed in her by taking the lead at a good pace, and winning
very easy.
Several families reached the town yesterday afternoon, but it
was not till towards this evening that appearances justified the
belief that the present meeting would rival that of 1828, which,
under the Stewardship of the Duke of Devonshire, formed so bril-
liant an epoch in the records of these celebrated races. At the time
of making up our parcel his Grace the Duke of Wellington had not
arrived, but it was confidently asserted that the Noble Duke
would reach here in the course of the night or early to-morrow
morning. His Grace will be the guest of Earl Chesterfield, who
has made the most extensive arrangements to accommodate his
numerous guests, and give eclat to his Stewardship. In addition to
the Premier, the Noble Earl will entertain during the Race week—
The Prince and Princess Esterhazy, Earl aid Countess of Jer-
sey, Earl and Countess of Newburgh, Earl and Countess of Bel-
fast, Earl Clanwilliam, Earl of Rosslyn, Marchioness of Tavlstock,
Lord Melbourne, Lady Janet St. Clain, and several other members
of the fashionable circles.

Besides these distinguished personages, the following have either
already come in, or will arrive in the course of the night :
The Duke and Duchess of St. Alban's, Duke of Devonshire.
Duke of Leeds, Marquis and Marchioness of Cleveland, Marquis
of Sligo, Marquis of Clanricarde, Marquis and Marchioness of
Londonderry,
Earl Verulam, Earl FitzwiUlam, Earl and Countess
of Scarborough, Earl of Howth, Earl of Harewood and family, Earl
and Countess of Wilton, Lord and Lady Strathaven, Lord Hawke,
Lord Milton, Lord Darlington,
Lord Castlereagh, Lord Langford,
Lord Wharncliffe Lord Stourton, Lord Durham, Lord George
Bentinck, Lord Henry Bentinck, Lord J. Fitzroy, Lord Kelburne,
Sir Lewyn Glyn, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Petre, Hon. IL Grosvenor,
Colonel Crawford, Colonel Cradock, M.P. General Sharpe. Sir W.
Milner, Colonel Peel, Colonel Hancock, Captains Dowbiggen,
Taylor, Macnamara, Grant, Byng. Hunter, Fleming, Healey;
Messrs. Delete Radcliffe, Greville, C. Wilson, Baird, Foulis,Watt,
Armitage, B.Thompson, Holyoake, Payne, Irby, Clive, Foljambe,
Brown, Telford, &c.
From the immense quantity of rain which had fallen in the
.course of the week, and the state of the country from Alcoa-
bury to within a few miles of Doncaster, many parts being com-
pletely under water, we were induced to expect that the turf
would be unfavourable for running ' • we were agreeably disap-
pointed ; the turf here is naturally hard, and benefited by the
short interval of dry weather, is really in a very good state;
and if the weather, which is now favourable in the extreme,
continues fine till Tuesday, it will be in excellent condition. In
the belief that all the horses would be out at an early hour this
morning, as was formerly the case, we went upon the Race-ground
as early as five o'clock ; none, however, made their appearance ex-
cept Frederick and the Exquisite, who took their gallops and re-
tuned to their stables before the others came out; they looked
remarkably well, and will require a good one to beat them. About
eight o'clock the others came un the ground, and presented a goodly
lot. Voltaire looked amazingly well ; he is by far the most power-
ful blacklock colt we have seen, and his gallop evinces great speed as
well as stoutness. Sir Hercules was also in the throng, and in spite of
the report of his being a cougher, took a good gallop and appeared as
well as ever. Mr. Petre's and the Duke of Leeds's lots were in
excellent health. Zinganee and Fleur-de-Lis were on the ground,
the former had a gallop round the course at a pace which kept his
companion to his mettle—he is quite up to the mark ; the mare is
in beautiful condition, and will be hard to beat. The following is
a complete list of the horses here :
Ttrasx-vzaa-otns —Voltaire, Strewth, Tamboff, Cistercian.
Pilgarlick filly, Leonardo, Penhill, Zodiac, bl. 1. by Jack Spigot,

The Betting-rooms at the time of sending off our parcel were
crowded; and some heavy engagements were made at the following
odds

PITZWILLIA %TAM (To-morrow.)
5 to 1 on Lord Chesterfield's Zinganee.
THE CHAMPAGNE STAVES.
•
Redstart, Lady Mowbray, and Brunswicker, are the favourites,

Ne others backed.
Tea CUT.
6 to 4 agst Lord Chesterfield's Zinpnee.
4 to His Majesty's Fleur de Lie.
9 to 2 Major Yarburgh's Laurel.
No others talked of.

Next to the St. Leger and Gold Cup, the most important
Stakes are the Two-year Olds, which are looked upon as affording
a guide to the betting on the next year's St. Leger; of these, the
Champagne Stakes take precedence in value and importance.
Twenty-nine horses are engaged in the one to be decided to-mor-
row ; the only winners being the Duke of Leeds's two, Lady
Mowbray, by Biacklock, out of Lady of the Vale, and Redstart,
by Whisker, out of Rhodacantha, and Mr. Houldsworth's Beagle,
by Whalebone. Redstart has won once only, beating Mr.
Itichardson's Hermione, by Figaro, after'a dead hest, in the York
Spring Meeting. Lady Mowbray has won three times, twice at
Catterick Bridge, where she respectively ran second to the Barber
and Lady Emmeline, and once at the York Spring Meeting, where
she beat a field of ten hordes in a very clever style. Bessie has
won two or three times, without doing any thing to entitle him to
much consideration. The Duke of Leeds is of course the fs.
youths ; but looking at the running, the extent of the field, and
the number of horses in it that have not yet appeared, we should
say that his Grace is far from being safe to wit. The other two-
year old Stakes has 34 Subscribers, and will be run on Thursday.
CURRAGH MEETING, San. 9.

A few days since a woman from 31anchester called at
a house in Sutton, near Alacciesfieid, and inquired for a person
who was a stewaral at a cotton !Jewry in the neighbourhood. A
female answered, " this is the hi u•e. and lam his wife." " That
cannot be," said the stranger, " ior I am his wile ; we were mar-
ried several years ago, at Mancl::•ter." Just at this time the
luckless husband made his appearance, when, In! another lady
came and claimed him as her lawful husband. having been married
to him at Nottingham. What was to be done? The man of many
wives preferred the first, and, after disposing of his furniture,
marched off quietly with her, leaving the second and third to argue
the matter in the manner they deemed best.
Yesterday morniner, between 11 and 12 o'clock, as two
carmen, who were in a beastly state of intoxication, were driving
a dung-cart, which was headed, along Bishupsgate-street, they
commenced what they termed "a lark;" by pulling each other
show, when one of them slipped down, and the wheels of tbecait
patted over his body. lie was conveyed to St. Bartheskimew's
Hospital in apparently a lifeless state. 'lke other carman nearly
met with a similar fate, the wheels having pasaed over his foot.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT—LtscArna, Sir% 12.
cliwrowi2K a. CUTTS.

This was an action brought to recover about £5O alleged
to be due from the defendant to the plaintiff.
Basaucousu appeared for the defendant, and Mr. AMAMI&
for the plaintiff.—lt appeared that the defendant and the plaintiff
bad formerly been in business together; that subsequently the de-
fendant, wbo resides in Manchester, made a proposal to the plain-
tiff to come into his service, upon terms that he proposed, namely,
20/. a year, and to be paid for big work, and a sun of the plaintiff
was also to be employed at a salary of .ss. per week. The plaintiff
entered into the defendant's service on the terms proposed, and
weekly received sums of money on account of his earnings and of his
son ; but the 201. per annum was left to accumulate for three years,
leaving the sum of about 60/. due to the plaintiff.
On the part of the defendant it was urged that certain sums were
paid, sometimes 51. and sometimes more, on account of the accu-
mulated salary. and not on account of the weekly earnings, and
that theplaintiff had been supplied with certain goods. The ques-
tion whether the sums paid had been paid on account of the yearly
salary, or the weekly earnings, was left to the Jury, who found a
verdict for the plaintiff for 531. 4s.
