pagne the jockeys who rode in the race. At Stockbridge

regaled in the same liberal manner as in the years when
Cossack and Pyrrhus the First were the winners.
Manchester races take place to-morrow and the two
following days. The increasinc, popularity of this meet-
ing, from the larger and better class of horses entered for
the various stakes, is quickly raising it to the rank of a
first-rate place of sport. The large bonuses given to the
stakes, cannot fail to insure large fields of horses for each
contest; and the immense population of the surrounding
district always render that support which makes the ma-
nagement profitable.

OVERCROWDING OR STEAMERS. Mr. Nichols, the
proprietor of the Eastham ferry, was summoned before
Mr. Mansfield, on Friday, for having committed a breach
of the Passenger act, in allowing one of his ferry-boats,
which sailed from Eastham to Liverpool on Good Friday,
to carry 626 passengers, being an excess of 198 over the
number allowed by the certificate from the Board of Trade.
As soon as the defendant was aware that the boat had got
nearly her full complement of passengers on board, he gave
orders that no one else should be allowed to pass the pay-
gate. The order was strictly obeyed, but the excursionists
were so anxious to get back to Liverpool, that being the
latest boat, that they climbed over the rocks, and over a
high wall, and made their way on to the boat, in spite of
all that could be done to prevent them. Mr. Mansfield,
in imposing the lowest possible penalty of ls. and costs,
and ss. for each passenger in excess of the allowed number,
observed that he had no doubt that there would be a con-
siderable mitigation of the penalty incurred, if the facts of
the case were presented before the Board of Trade.
CONSIDERATE BastsvonExcz.—We are informed that
a benevolent lady in this town, from a consideration of the
vast increase in the price or provisions, and all' other
necessaries, has generously sent a donation to the Blue
Coat Hospital and other charitable institutions, feeling
convinced of the great additional expense which must
necessarily be incurred during the present year. We shall
be happy to hear of similar donations, which could not be
more seasonably offered than at the present time.
