The St. Leger Stakes, wiech were run for yesterday, at three
o'clock, at Doncaster, have excited more Interest than any tact
since the days of Eclipse, or the famous march between Diamond
Hanibletonlan.. Immense sums are depending upon the
event ; but the in'erest has not been wholly excited by the mar.
nitude of the bets, a great deal o' it must be put down to the cc
count of the circamoances attending Whiteltwk, the favourite.
An extract of a letter, dated Doncaster, the i B,l6instant, says:
Lyon betting was laid and taken here for the St. Leger Stakes
upon Mr. Waets's colt, W'hitelock, when an egrets arrived
among the "Hack Legs that something war amiss with him and
minsediately bets were changed to three and four to one against
him ; and, in or..!er. to inform the hosarnble fraternity in London.
a4l tzpreis was immediately dispatched to them, that bets might
be made accordingly, before the news could arrive. The White.
lock cult proved to he lame, and was stopped at York. Above
fifty horses are arrived already here, Mid mitre are oil their way.
—The town is crowded with that race which always watch and
attend the Turf, and who ill) our regularly each mornfog to ob-
serve how the horses take th-tr galleys, swears, &c. A•e. and that

a deputation of Police Deceits have been sent f,r to Loudon to ap-
prehend all suspicious characters w et may he found It, the town.
Other borsch arriving every hour at Doucaster, and do White-
lock making hi► appearance, the impression made by the report
of hie being amiss, became every hour stronger, and betting
again .t him on Friday niorntog was RIO to 2, and even 100 to I.
lit tins state matters remained until twelve o'clock, a se on Sa-
turday, when, to :he chagrin and surpri.e of those who had bet-
ted against hint, the Whits-lock cult walked into Doncaster in ap-
parently good health and spirits. .1 he betting, witch was at,
hour before too to I againt hint, fell tog to 1. Thts was the
immediate re►ult of his unexpected app•aranee, which although
nut direct evidence of his b Mg perfectly tree from complaint,
strewed it all events that he was iu coadi:ioo to run.

The Noble Earl who received fifty guineas from
Sir EDMUND Nacits, to return one guinea for every
league' that the Patscis Rama' stionld go by sea
within five years, has already to repay the fifty gui-
neas received, and forty-five in addition; it being
ascertained that in his late trip the Patna REUINT

Last week the Rose, Captain D. CAUCHY, and the
Speedy, Captain Balm, arrived at Southampton,
from Jersey, with a cargo of tile primest Norman
cows. They brought also several Granville women,
who attracted the curiosity of the Southamptonians,
by the noise of their wooden shoes, and their paid-
colar cast of dress. They report, that both in Jersey
and the adjoining French coast, the harvest has beeu
well got in, and the crops most abundant.
COVENT-GARDEL—Miss BRUNTON appeared last
night, for the second time, as Rosalind, in SHAKS-
MUM'S comedy of A: You jig It. She bas improved
greatly on her first performance. The commence.
ment of the fourth act was marred by a riot in the
one-shilling gallery, which was not terminated until
the constables were called in. This circumstance em.
barrassed Miss Rau/note for a few minutes—but her
self.posseuron was soon restored, and she executed
" The Cuckoo Song" very sweetly. It was encored.—
Her delivery of the Fiat gue called forth, and de-
served, the warmest approbation. She canvassed the
ladies and gentlemen with peculiar archness—and
shed over the whole address a degree of grace and
elegance which we have not often seen equalled,.
