In the race for the St. I.ttee Stakes ye:today, notes* than et
horses started. The morning was very wet, and the day ap-
peared set in for it. Luckily for the immense crowd of specta-
tors who had come from the surrounding villages, the weather
cleared at one o'clock, and afforded them a brilliant sight of the
horses mania& Reveller did not come in front and take the
lead until he reached the lied House, and he then appeared to
have beat all his horses ; he won cleverly, by several lei.gths,
Peirse's other horse being second. It is singular in this rate,
that the three horses placed by the Judge were all by Comus,
and bred by Mr. nine, who sold the third horse at two years
old. The betting varied aher the race for the Fitzwillam Stakes,
Reveller being the first favourite the early part of the morning ;
after that race, Senn Girl became decidedly so. The Stand
was honoured with a brilliant display of beauty and fashion.

year, of such amazing bulk, that she is supposed to
weigh sixteen stone!
Mr. BIRD, of Burton. Hall, in Cheshire, has a thee:*
in his possession, made upon his own farm, that weighs
upwards of two hundred weight, and for which we
understand he has refused the sum of £1 4.

Friday night two vessels ran foul of each other, be-
tween Southwold and Yarmouth, when one of them
received so much damage that she foundered, and
17 persons perished. The other (a collier) was towed
into Yarmouth Bar, where she now lies dismAsted.

A Mr. LITTLE, of Bawtry, left home to go to
Clumber 'on Tuesday se'nnight. Not returnin6 at the
time expected, his friends went in search of h►m, and
found him dead in Nottingham Forest, on Saturday
last, and his horse grazing near him, without his
saddle. No marks of violence were found on him ;
watch, &c. safe.

This morning, as Mr. Howts, one of the tu:ncocks
belonging to the London Bridge Water Woks, was
passing along the Bridge, he found 'a Tared in onz
of the recesses, evidently meant to be concealed,
which on being opened was found to contain about
1-50 unpriuted Bank Notes, with the water mark of
Leicestershire on the sop and Bank at the bottom.
The Notes are supposed to have been made for the
,purpose of Forgery—or perhaps stolen in their pas-
age from the Country Bank to their Printer, and
thrown at-ay when found to be blanks.
We have already stated, that two .of the Surety,•
robbers were on Monday night apprehended by Snow,
the constable. On Tuesday evening some boys, who
Were playing in the empty house, Waterloo-place,
Walworth, near that where the robbers were found
concealed, discovered between a cieling and a floor a
quantity of plate, which was stole a few nights ago
;from the house of Mr. HALL, Diamond-row, Peck-
' ham, and at the residences of the persons in custody,
the constable found a great number of stolen articles,
cf wiLli he ha; found the owners, and also property
to a large amount.
DANDY ACClDENT.—Satiirdar, 25 one of •thofft
strait-laced, stiff-necked things, known under the ap-
pellation of Dandies, was fluttering down Sackville-
street, Dublin, and at the same time ogling a fair
Dandy, who was tripping along " on the fan-
tastic toe," a great mastiff dog rustled suddenly be-
tween his legs, and threw him off his balance so com-,
pletely, that he tumbled headlong into a staymaker's
shop. Whilst a crowd was collecting round the done,
anxiously inquiring whether the " lady-like Gent;e-
man" was hurt? another Dandy passing by, SAW his
poor brother " Erfuisite" lying prostrate in the sho7,
and having with difficulty bustled through the mob,
reconnoitered him through his glass for some time,
and at length exclaimed, in a voice of surptitts mixt.
Bled with terror, " It's a Dead,! poor thing I Fly.
it air:—unlace its stays—untie its Ciavat—poer thing
.it's a Dandy!" Hcwever, by the (Tendons of un-
lacing, untying, and a judicious application of smel.
ling-bottles, the poor sufferer was at length set to
rights, and conveyed home in a coach, heartily tune
ing the Gothic ignor.ince of the dog. which could
not instinctively disti4u:si. aDc from a RIN.
